   TrustCo Bank Corp NY
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statement
(Unaudited)

1.   Financial Statement Presentation

In the opinion of the management of TrustCo Bank Corp NY, the
accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of September 30, 1994, the results of operations for
the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994
and 1993,  and the cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1994  and 1993.  The accompanying Consolidated Interim
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with TrustCo
Bank Corp NY's Consolidated year end Financial Statements,
including notes thereto, which are included in TrustCo Bank Corp
NY's 1993 Annual Report to shareholders on Form 10-K.

2.   Securities Available for Sale and Investment Securities

On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115) "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  Management
determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
time of purchase.  If management has the positive intent and
ability to hold debt securities to maturity, they are classified
as investment securities held to maturity and are stated at
amortized cost.  If securities are purchased for the purpose of
selling them in the near term, they are classified as trading
securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized holding
gains and losses reflected in current earnings.  All other debt
and equity securities are classified as securities available for
sale and are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains or
losses reported, net of income taxes, as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.  Gains and losses on disposition of all
investment securities are based on the adjusted cost of the
specific security sold.

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Company transferred the
following securities into the "available for sale" category from
the "held to maturity" category:



          (Dollars in Thousands)
                                     
          US Treasury & Agency          $229,406
          Mortgage Backed Securities     142,119

                                        --------
                                        $398,454
                                        ========


At January 1, 1994, the net unrealized gain on securities
available for sale, net of the income tax effect, was
$12,459,000.  At September 30, 1994, the net unrealized loss on
securities available for sale, net of the income tax effect was
$512,000, representing a $12,971,000 decrease from January 1,
1994.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, securities available for
sale were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

The Company also transferred its $2,106,000 portfolio of equity
securities from trading assets to the available for sale
category.

  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

  The Board of Directors and Shareholders
  TrustCo Bank Corp NY:

  We have reviewed the consolidated statement of
  financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and
  subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994, and the
  related consolidated statements of income for the
  three-month and nine-month periods ended September
  30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of
  cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September
  30 1994 and 1993.  These consolidated financial
  statements are the responsibility of the Company's
  management.

  We conducted our review in accordance with standards
  established by the American Institute of Certified
  Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
  information consists principally of applying
  analytical procedures to financial data and making
  inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
  accounting matters.  It is substantially less in
  scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
  generally accepted auditing standards, the objective
  of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
  the financial statements taken as a whole.
  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

  Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
  modifications that should be made to the consolidated
  financial statements referred to above for them to be
  in conformity  with generally accepted accounting
  principles.

  As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated interim
  financial statements, effective January 1, 1994, the
  Company adopted the provisions of the Financial
  Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
  Accounting Standards No. 115,  "Accounting for
  Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"
  which changed its method of accounting for certain
  investments in debt and equity securities.

  We have previously audited, in accordance with
  generally accepted auditing standards, the
  consolidated statement of financial condition of
  TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December
  31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
  income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
  flows for the year then ended (not presented herein);
  and in our report dated January 26, 1994, we
  expressed an unqualified opinion on those
  consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion,
  the information set forth in the accompanying
  consolidated statement of financial condition as of
  December 31, 1993, is fairly presented, in all
  material respects, in relation to the consolidated
  statement of financial condition from which it has
  been derived.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
September 30, 1994


The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the
financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo Bank
Corp NY ("TrustCo" or "Company") during the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1994, with comparisons to 1993
as applicable.  Net interest income and net interest margin are
presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion.
The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes,
as well as the 1993 Annual Report to shareholders, should be read
in conjunction with this review.  Certain amounts in years prior
to 1994 have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.


Overview

TrustCo recorded net income of $5.9 million, or $0.40 per share
for the three months ended September 30, 1994, as compared to
$5.3 million or $0.36 per share recorded in the same period in
1993.  All per share amounts have been adjusted for a 10% stock
dividend effective as of October 1, 1994.  Net income for the
nine months of 1994 amounted to $16.7 million or $1.12 per share
compared to the $14.9 million and $1.01 per share  recorded in
1993.

The primary factors accounting for the year-to-date increase are:
     --   the growth in  average earning assets to $1.9
          billion, a 4.4% increase over the average for 1993,

     --   increase in the net interest margin by 10 basis points
          to 4.17%,

     --   reduction in the provision for loan losses from $9.3
          million in 1993 to $6.5 million in 1994.  This positive
          trend was offset by an increase in losses on securities
          transactions of $6.4 million in 1994 compared to
          securities gains of $3.9 million in 1993, and

     --   a 2% reduction in noninterest expense.


Asset/Liability Management

The Company strives to generate superior earnings capabilities
through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning
assets.  This is, in its most fundamental form, the essence of
asset/liability management.  Additionally, TrustCo attempts to
maintain adequate liquidity and reduce, to an acceptable level,
the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest
rates while enhancing profitability both on a short term and long
term basis.


Earning Assets

Average earning assets of  $1.9 billion during the third quarter
of 1994, were $77.0 million, or 4.2% higher than during the third
quarter of 1993.  For the nine month period 1994, average earning
assets were $1.9 billion compared to $1.8 billion in 1993.
Included on the table "Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and
Shareholders' Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential"
is a detailed breakdown of TrustCo's average earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The remainder of this
discussion will utilize average balances for 1993 and 1994 as
detailed on the enclosed table.

Loans: Total loans averaged $1.1 billion during the third quarter
of 1994, which was $114.1 million, or 11.3% higher than the third
quarter of 1993.   The loan growth was centered in the real
estate loan portfolio which grew by 22% during that time period.
All TrustCo loans are self originated and none are purchased from
other financial institutions.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 1994, the average
balance of loans outstanding was $1.1 billion and this was up 8%
from the prior year.  As with the third quarter analysis above,
the primary increase was in the real estate loan category.

Securities Available for Sale: This category of investments is
used primarily for liquidity purposes while simultaneously
producing current period earnings.  At September 30, 1994, the
balance outstanding was $201.2 million, down from the year-end
1993 balance of $240.7 million.  At September 30, 1994, the
balance of securities available for sale is stated net of fair
value adjustment of ($512 thousand), whereas the December 31,
1993, balance is presented at the lower of cost or market value
(which resulted in the balance being shown at cost).

During the third quarter of 1994, the average balance of
securities available for sale was $259.3 million compared to
1993's balance of $154.2 million.  For these time periods, the
average yield on the portfolios was 6.72% in 1994 and 6.22% in
1993.  For the nine month periods, the average balance in 1994
was $416.2 million with a yield of 6.24%  and in 1993 was $122.2
million with a yield of 6.76%, respectively.

In the third quarter of 1994, as it became more certain that
interest rates were continuing to increase, the Company sold
approximately  $232 million of securities available for sale, at
a loss of $2.5 million. This brought the year-to-date losses on
securities transactions to $6.4 million.  Management's intention
with respect to these funds, as well as any obtained subsequent
to the quarter-end, is to reinvest the proceeds at  substantially
higher interest rates when attractive securities are available.
In the interim, the funds are invested in short-term investments.
It is expected that the net loss incurred from the sales of
securities will be recovered within one to two years through
increased interest income.  These transactions were undertaken to
improve future net interest margin, to reduce the exposure of our
capital to further declines in the fair values of securities
available for sale,  as well as to shorten the duration of the
portfolio.  Management expects that given the anticipated future
increases in interest rates (i.e., Federal Reserve Bank actions),
similar actions in the securities available for sales portfolio
will be taken throughout the remainder of 1994.

Investment Securities: Securities in this category have been
designated as held until maturity.  These investments are held
primarily for the generation of earnings.  The balance of these
securities at September 30, 1994, was $337.4 million versus the
$416.8 million at year-end 1993.

For the third quarter of 1994,  the investment securities
portfolio averaged $327.1 million and earned a rate of 6.98%.  In
1993 the average balance in the third quarter was $495.9 million
and the yield was 6.76%.    On a year-to-date basis the average
balance and yield was $215.6 million and 6.71% in 1994 and $528.1
and 6.82% in 1993, respectively.

Federal Funds Sold:  This category of investments represents the
Company's primary source of short-term investments.   At
September 30, 1994, the balance of federal funds sold was $217.0
million versus the $149.0 million at year-end.   During the third
quarter, the average balance and yield were $ 207.8 million and
4.61% in 1994 and $179.3  million and 3.03% in 1993 respectively.
The increase in the average balance is attributable to the
increase in deposits outstanding and the reduction in the average
balance of investments in securities.  The dramatic increase in
rates is directly related to actions taken by the Federal Reserve
Board to increase the discount and federal funds rate during
1994.  The same trends noted in the quarter were also evident in
the year-to-date figures.

Income from earning assets:  Income from earning assets totalled
$36.6 million for the quarter reflecting an average yield of
7.62%, as compared to the $ 33.7 million and 7.31% earned in
1993.  The primary reason for the increase in income on earning
assets is the result of rate changes (70%) during the quarter and
30% due to average balance increases.  The average balance of
earning assets increased 4% to $1.9 billion and the average rate
increased 31 basis points on a quarter to quarter comparison.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 1994 income from
earning assets increased from $102.6 million in 1993 to $104.8
million in 1994.  The reason for that change is an increase of
4% in earning assets offset by a reduction in yield by 17 basis
points.


Funding Opportunities

TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning
asset portfolio.  The vast majority of the funding comes from
traditional deposit vehicles such as regular savings, NOW and
time deposits.

Total interest bearing deposits increased 3% to $1.7 billion
during the third quarter with a yield of 3.48%.  Customers have
been moving modest amounts of deposits to the time deposit
category and away from the traditional savings accounts.
Likewise,  the deposit growth is centered in the area of time
accounts.  This reflects a growing trend in banking where
customers are  trying to lock in slightly higher yields in the
time deposit category.  Within the category of time deposits,
CD's over $100,000 grew to $51 million.  The principal factors
affecting these time deposits were attractive rates offered in
the 30 month CD product during late 1993 and the first half of
1994.

TrustCo's strategy is to develop core deposit relationships with
customers versus purchasing deposits through secondary markets.
The Company has no brokered deposits and does not actively seek
relationships that are single transaction oriented.  By focusing
on the core deposit business the Company believes the franchise
value of the retail branching network is enhanced.


Net Interest Income

Net interest income totalled $21.2 million in the third quarter
1994 up 15% over the third quarter of 1993.  As a result, the net
interest margin for the period to period comparison indicates an
improvement of 41 basis points.  The principal reasons for the
increased margin are:
          --   increased yields in the federal funds
               portfolio
          --   growth in the loan category primarily
               centered in the real estate area, and
          --   the reduction in funding cost by 7 basis
               points.

For the nine month period in 1994 the net interest income was
$59.7 million, up 7% from 1993.  This increase also caused the
net interest margin to increase by 10 basis points for the year.
On a year-to-date basis the reduction in the yield on the earning
assets was less than the reduction in the yield on the interest
bearing liabilities.  The decrease in the average rate on earning
assets was primarily centered in the real estate loan category,
which became very competitive during the second half of  1993 and
into 1994.


Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans which are those
loans in a nonaccrual status, loans that have been restructured
as a trouble debt restructuring and loans past due 90 days or
more and still accruing interest.  Also included in the total of
nonperforming assets are foreclosed and insubstance foreclosed
real estate properties.

Nonperforming loans:  Total nonperforming loans decreased to $2.4
million from the $2.7 million at June 30, 1994.  The most serious
category of nonperforming loans are those identified as
nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1994, were
$46,000, down from the $199,000 at June 30, 1994.

Foreclosed and insubstance foreclosed assets:  The total balance
of other real estate was $14.9 million at September 30, 1994,
almost equal to the amount at June 30, 1994.

Allowance for loan losses:  The balance of the allowance for loan
losses is maintained at a  level that is, in management's
judgment, representative of the amount of risk inherent in the
loan portfolio, given past, present and expected conditions.

At September 30,1994, the allowance for loan losses was $ 39.2
million, up slightly from the June 30,1994, balance of $36.2
million and the $34.1 million at year end 1993.  This allowance
represents a reserve coverage of 16 times the nonperforming loans
at September 30, 1994, up from the 13 times coverage at June 30,
1994.  The provision charge to expense during the third quarter
was $2.8 million and $5.7 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The significant decrease from 1993 to 1994 is reflective of the
overall improvement in the asset quality of the Company's
portfolio.  Likewise for the nine month period 1994,  the
provision was $6.5 million versus the $9.3 million in 1993.

In 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (which has subsequently
been amended by Statement No. 118), Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114).  This new accounting standard
will be effective for TrustCo's fiscal year beginning January 1,
1995.  This statement prescribes recognition criteria for loan
impairment and measurement methods for certain impaired loan and
insubstance foreclosures.  TrustCo has not yet determined the
impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements that
might result from the implementation of SFAS 114.  Upon adoption
of SFAS 114 a significant portion of the insubstance foreclosed
loans will be reclassified into the loan category.


Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable sources of funding and to
maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy
varied liquidity demands.  TrustCo's earnings performance and
strong capital position enable the Company to raise funds easily
in the marketplace and to secure new sources of funding.  The
Company actively manages its liquidity through target ratios
established under its liquidity policy.  Continual monitoring of
these ratios, both historical and some prospective, allows
TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate
liquidity.  Management has also defined various degrees of
adverse liquidity situations which could potentially occur and
has prepared appropriate contingency plans should such a
situation arise.


Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the third quarter was $838,000
versus $5.4 million recorded in 1993.  For the nine month period
ended September 30, 1994, total noninterest income amounted to
$3.8 million compared to $13.2 million for the same period in
1993.  The principal reason for the variance between 1993 and
1994 for both the quarter and the year to date figures relates to
securities losses recorded in 1994.  During the quarter, the
Company recorded $2.5 million of losses in 1994 and $1.8 million
of gains in 1993.  For the year-to-date balances, the security
losses were $6.4 million in 1994 and gains of $3.9 million in
1993.  These security losses were recognized as part of a
management approach to continually sell securities that are
underperforming with an aim to reinvest the proceeds in higher
yielding securities with like credit risk. In this way the
Company is sacrificing current period earnings with the objective
of enhancing future years net income.  The increases noted in the
net interest margins are partially a result of the execution of
this strategy.


Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1994 was $9.6
million versus $10.4 million recognized in 1993.  Likewise for
the year-to-date results, the Company incurred $29.8 million in
1994 and $30.5 million in 1993.


Income Taxes and Changes in Accounting Principles

In the third quarter of 1994 TrustCo recognized income tax
expense of $3.4 million versus $2.0 million in 1993.  This
represents an effective tax rate of 37% in 1994.  On a
year-to-date basis through the third quarter, the Company
recorded $ 9.3 million in income tax expense versus $9.7 million
in 1993.

Recognized in the 1993 results is a change in accounting
principles relating to adoption of new accounting principles
dealing with post retirement benefits.  In 1993's first quarter
TrustCo recognized a one time expense of $3.3 million (net of
tax) relating to the adoption of new accounting rules for post
retirement benefits.


Capital Resources

Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and
profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain
strong capital ratios.  New issues of equity securities have not
been required since traditionally most of its capital
requirements are met through the capital retention program.


Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1994, was $136.6
million, up 5% over the year end balance of $129.9 million.
TrustCo declared dividends of $0.70 so far in 1994 compared to
$0.57  in 1993.  These results represent a dividend payout ratio
of 63% in 1994 and 56% in 1993.  The Company achieved the
following ratios as of September 30, 1994 and 1993:



                                     September 30,
                                     1994      1993

                                       
Total equity to assets              6.87%     6.56%
Tier 1 risk adjusted capital       12.01%    11.83%
Total risk adjusted capital        13.29%    13.11%


Each of these capital ratios exceeds the minimum standards
established by the regulatory authorities.

At the July 1994 meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors
approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend by 10% to
$0.275 per share and also approved a 10% stock dividend to
shareholders of record on October 1, 1994.  The Board indicated
their intention to retain the higher cash dividend on the new
shares outstanding for the remainder of the year.  Figures
included in this discussion have been adjusted for the stock
dividend.
