  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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  (the Company) as of September 30, 1996, and the
  related  consolidated  statements of income for the three month and nine month
  periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated  statements of
  cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. 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.

  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, 1995 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,
  1996,  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, 1995,  is
  fairly presented,  in all material  respects,  in relation to the consolidated
  statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

                                                  September 30, 1996

  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,
  1996,  with  comparisons  to 1995 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  1995  Annual  Report  to  Shareholders,  should  be  read in
  conjunction  with this review.  Amounts in prior period  consolidated  interim
  financial  statements are  reclassified  whenever  necessary to conform to the
  current  period's  presentation.  Per share results have all been adjusted for
  the 15% stock split effective October 1996.

  Except for historical  information  contained herein, the matters contained in
  this  review  are   "forward-looking   statements"   that   involve  risk  and
  uncertainties,  including  statements  concerning future events or performance
  and  assumptions  and other  statements  which are other  than  statements  of
  historical  facts.  The Company  wishes to caution  readers that the following
  important  factors,  among  others,  could in the future  affect the Company's
  actual  results and could cause the Company's  actual  results for  subsequent
  periods to differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in any  forward-looking
  statements made by or on behalf of the Company herein:

      o      the  effect of changes  in laws and  regulations,  including
             federal and state banking laws and  regulations,  with which
             the Company and its banking subsidiary must comply, the cost
             of such  compliance  and the  potentially  material  adverse

             substantial  compliance either currently or in the future as

             Company's organization, compensation and benefit plans;

      o      the effect on the company's  competitive position within its
             market area of increasing  consolidation  within the banking
             industry  and  increasing  competition  from  larger  "super
             regional" and other out-of-state  banking-  organizations as

  Overview
  TrustCo recorded net income of $7.5 million,  or $0.36 per share for the three
  month  period  ended  September  30,  1996,  as compared to net income of $6.6
  million and per share earnings of $0.32 for the same time period in 1995.

  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,  TrustCo  recorded net income of
  $21.1 million or $1.00 per share compared to $18.6 million and $0.90 per share
  in the comparable period in 1995.

  The primary  factors  accounting  for the year to date  increase in net income
are:
     _
    |_| an 8.5% increase in average earning assets,
    |_| reduction in the provision for loan losses by $4.8 million,
    |_| increase in noninterest income (excluding the effects of securities
     _   transactions) by approximately $590,000, and
    |_| the reduction in noninterest expense of $2.9 million.

  These positive factors affecting net income were offset by the following:
     _
    |_|  reduction in the net interest  margin from 4.24% to 4.08%,  |_| loss on
    securities sales of $4.3 million,  and |_| an increase in income tax expense
    of $3.2 million.

  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  increased  $113.1 million to $2.16 billion during the
  third  quarter of 1996  compared to 1995.  The average  yield on these earning
  assets  was  7.80%  compared  to  8.20% in 1995.  For the  nine  months  ended
  September 30, 1996, the average balance of earning assets  increased by $167.7
  million to $2.13  billion.  Included  in the tables  "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, 1996 and 1995.  Unless  otherwise  noted, the remainder of this discussion
  will utilize average balances for 1996 and 1995 as detailed on these tables.

  Loans
  During the third quarter,  the average  balance of loans  increased from $1.20
  billion in 1995 to $1.22 billion in 1996,  representing a 2.2%  increase.  The
  average yield on the loan  portfolio  decreased from 9.06% in 1995 to 8.74% in
  1996. The  combination of the increase in average balance and the reduction in
  the yield produced a slight decline in income from the loan portfolio to $26.7
  million.

  Virtually  all of the growth in the loan  portfolio  was  centered in the real
  estate  loan  balances,  which  increased  from  $725.8  million for the third
  quarter of 1995 to $786.5  million for the comparable  1996 period.  TrustCo's
  aggressive  marketing of these loans,  combined with quick decision  making on
  applications  and low closing costs,  allowed the Company to grow this portion
  of the loan portfolio.

  Also during the quarter,  the home equity credit line balances  decreased 7.9%
  from  $201.1  million in 1995 to $185.3  million  for 1996.  The yield on this
  portfolio also decreased from 10.14% in 1995 to 9.17% in 1996. The decrease in
  yield  reflects  changes  made by  TrustCo  earlier  in the year to respond to
  competition   which  was  offering   lower  overall  rates  on  this  product.
  Competition  for this type of loan  product  is very  strong  since all of the
  local and national  financial  institutions try to attract  customers to their
  home equity loan products.

  The same  trends  noted  during the  quarter  are  evident in the year to date
  results.  Overall,  the loan  portfolio  balances  increased  by 4.1% to $1.23
  billion  in 1996.  This  increase  in  outstanding  balances  was  offset by a
  reduction  in the overall  yield on the loan  portfolio  from 9.06% in 1995 to
  8.77% in 1996.  Income  from the loan  portfolio  for the nine  months of 1996
  amounted to $80.6  million,  an increase of $651 thousand over the  comparable
  period in 1995.

  The  Company  is a retail  oriented  institution,  and as such,  stresses  the
  importance  of consumer  oriented  products such as the  residential  mortgage
  loan, home equity loan, and credit cards.  Each of these areas is an important
  contributor to profitability at TrustCo and is a focus of continued  marketing
  and  product  development,  so as to  result  in  increases  in  the  balances
  outstanding.  The third  quarter  and the year to date  results  reflect  this
  focus.  TrustCo  aggressively pursues the fixed rate residential mortgage loan
  market.  The Company has a long history in  underwriting  loans in this market
  territory  and  is  confident   that  the  average  life  of  these  loans  is
  significantly shorter than the contractual  maturity.  This asset portfolio is
  an  excellent  investment  in relation to the core  deposit  base that TrustCo
  attracts.

  Securities Available for Sale
  During the third quarter of 1996 the average  balance of securities  available
  for sale was  $500.9  million,  versus an average  balance  for 1995 of $350.5
  million. The yield earned on these assets in 1996 was 7.68%, compared to 7.44%
  in 1995. The change in average balance and the change in rates earned resulted
  in an increase in interest  income on  securities  available  for sale of $3.1
  million. Most of the increase in the balance outstanding

  was the result of action taken in December  1995 when the Company  transferred
  the entire held to maturity securities  portfolio to the securities  available
  for sale portfolio as permitted by changes in the  accounting for  securities.
  This action allows the Company to take full advantage of continuing changes in
  interest rates to maximize the overall yield on the portfolio  while providing
  additional  liquidity.  The  maximizing  effect is further  seen when the 1995
  available  for sale  portfolio  yield is  combined  with  the 1995  yield  for
  investment  securities.  The resulting combined yield for 1995's third quarter
  was 7.32% compared to the 7.68% earned on the comparable portfolio in 1996.

  The nine month  average  balance of  securities  available for sale was $586.7
  million in 1996 with a yield of 7.58%,  compared to an average balance for the
  nine months of 1995 of $246.6 million and a yield of 7.57%.  As with the third
  quarter,  the year to date results for 1995 compared to 1996 are significantly
  affected by the changes made in late 1995 to the portfolio of securities  held
  to maturity. Therefore, for 1995, if the portfolio of securities available for
  sale is combined  with the  portfolio  of  securities  held to  maturity,  the
  resulting  overall yield was 7.34%,  compared to the comparable  portfolio for
  1996 with a yield of 7.58%.

  Investment Securities
  There are no securities classified as investment securities for 1996. For 1995
  the third  quarter and the year to date  results  are  detailed on the average
  balance tables.

  Federal Funds Sold
  During the third quarter the average  balance of federal funds sold was $439.4
  million,  compared to $196.9  million in 1995. The yield earned on these asset
  balances  during the quarter was 5.34% in 1996,  and 5.86% in 1995.  The yield
  earned by these  investments is directly tied to the target federal funds rate
  as  established  by the Federal  Reserve  Board.  The  increase in the average
  balances  more  than  offset  the  reduction  in the  average  yield,  thereby
  producing an  approximately  $3.0 million  increase in the interest  income on
  this investment.

  For the nine month  results the average  balance and yield was $321.8  million
  and 5.36% in 1996, and $214.3 million and 5.94% in 1995, respectively.

  The  increases in the average  balances for 1996 compared to 1995 for both the
  quarter  and year to date  results  reflect  management's  decision  to remain
  relatively  liquid  during  1996 as  market  interest  rates  in the  loan and
  securities  portfolios  were  fluctuating.  This  positions  TrustCo  to  take
  advantage of these  higher  rates when the  decision is made to reinvest  this
  excess liquidity.

  Income from Earning Assets
  Income from earning  assets was  relatively  flat during the third  quarter of
  1996 compared to 1995.  The increase in the average  balance of earning assets
  during the quarter was offset

                                                       - 10 -




  TrustCo Bank Corp NY
  Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued
  September 30, 1996


  by the  decrease in the yields  earned.  The year to date  results  reflect an
  increase of 4.7% in the income from earning assets between 1996 and 1995.

  Funding Opportunities
  TrustCo  utilizes  various  funding  sources to  support  its  earning  assets
  portfolio.  The vast majority of the Company's  funding comes from traditional
  deposit vehicles such as savings, NOW and time deposit accounts. Also, TrustCo
  developed a Short Term  Investment  Account  which was  introduced  during the
  second quarter of 1995.  This account  accepts funds through the Trustco Trust
  Department.

  Total interest  bearing  liabilities  increased  during the quarter from $1.85
  billion in 1995 to $1.94 billion in 1996.  This increase in balance was offset
  by a  reduction  in cost on these  liabilities  from 4.59% in 1995 to 4.25% in
  1996.  The growth in the  average  balances  was  principally  in the  savings
  account  and  NOW  account  categories  of  deposits  and  in the  short  term
  borrowings (principally the Trustco Short Term Investment Account).  Likewise,
  the average balance of money market  certificates,  deposits greater than $100
  thousand, and the time deposit accounts, decreased during the quarter.

  For the year to date results,  total interest bearing liabilities increased by
  8.2% to $1.92 billion in 1996 compared to 1995. The yield on these liabilities
  decreased to 4.27% in 1996, compared to 4.40% in 1995. The increase in average
  balances was partially offset by the reduction in yields, thereby producing an
  increase of $3.0 million in total interest expense.

  Growth in deposit balances resulted from successful  marketing and advertising
  campaigns  undertaken  during the first quarter of 1995 in both CD and savings
  products,  which  continued  to  attract  deposits  throughout  the  year.  In
  TrustCo's past experience,  deposits  gathered as the result of these types of
  campaigns  tend to become a very stable source of core  customers who maintain
  their deposit  relationship  with the Company  through  various  interest rate
  cycles  and  provide   opportunities  for  cross  selling  additional  banking
  services.  Trustco has been  successful  in  attracting  deposits into the new
  branches opened in 1995 and to date in 1996.

  Net Interest Income
  Taxable  equivalent net interest  income  totalled $21.5 million for the third
  quarter of 1996,  compared  to $20.7  million in 1995.  For the nine months of
  1996,  taxable  equivalent net interest income totalled $65.4 million compared
  to $62.6 million in 1995.

  The net interest  margin for the third  quarter was 3.98% in 1996 and 4.05% in
  1995.  For the nine month periods,  the net interest  margin was 4.08% in 1996
  and 4.24 % in 1995.

  Nonperforming Assets
  Nonperforming  assets include  nonperforming  loans which are those loans in a
  nonaccrual  status,  loans that have been  restructured  and loans past due 90
  days or more and still

                                                       - 11 -

  accruing  interest.  Also  included in the total of  nonperforming  assets are
  foreclosed real estate properties, which are categorized as real estate owned.

  Impaired  loans are defined as those  commercial  and  commercial  real estate
  loans in a nonaccrual  status and loans  restructured  since  January 1, 1995,
  when   newly   effective    accounting   standards   required   changing   the
  identification,  measurement  and reporting of impaired  loans and loans whose
  terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  The following will
  describe the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of September 30, 1996.

  Nonperforming  loans:  Total  nonperforming  loans  were  $  11.4  million  at
  September 30, 1996,  down from $15.7  million at year end 1995,  and down from
  the $16.7 million at September 30, 1995. Nonaccrual loans were $8.4 million at
  September  30,  1996,  compared  to $12.8  million  at year end 1995 and $12.8
  million at September 30, 1995. At September 30, 1996,  there were $4.9 million
  of  residential  mortgage  loans  classified as nonaccrual as compared to $3.5
  million at year end 1995,  and $3.5 million at September 30, 1995.  Loans past
  due 90 days and still accruing  interest were  approximately  $700 thousand at
  September  30,  1996,  $1.7  million  at year end 1995,  and $2.7  million  at
  September 30, 1995.  Restructured  loans amounted to $2.2 million at September
  30,  1996,  $1.1 million at year end 1995,  and $1.2 million at September  30,
  1995. Changes in the nonperforming  loans since year end 1995 have principally
  been the transfer of three  commercial real estate  properties to the category
  of foreclosed  real estate.  Management  does not  anticipate  any loss on the
  disposal of these properties.

  Total  commercial and commercial  real estate impaired loans were $3.5 million
  at September 30, 1996, and together with the newly  restructured  retail loans
  of $2.2 million, represent the Company's impaired loans at September 30, 1996.
  Of the $11.4 million  nonperforming  loans at September 30, 1996, $5.7 million
  were  identified  as being  impaired,  leaving $5.6 million of loans that were
  nonperforming  retail loan  products and  commercial  loans that were past due
  more than 90 days and still accruing interest. TrustCo does not consider these
  to be impaired loans.

  The  average  balance of loans  identified  as  impaired  during 1996 was $8.4
  million and the interest income earned on the loans  classified as impaired at
  September 30, 1996, was approximately $243,000.

  For the nine months of 1996, charge offs were as follows:

         Commercial loans              $2.6 million
         Installment credit              .7 million
         Mortgage loans                 1.0 million

  Recoveries for the same period were $2.0 million.

  Real estate owned: Total real estate owned increased from the year end balance
  of $3.7 million to $6.6 million at  September  30, 1996.  Real estate owned at
  September 30, 1995 was $3.1 million. As noted previously,  the increase in the
  balance  outstanding  between year end 1995 and  September  30,  1996,  is the
  result of three commercial  properties being placed in foreclosure during this
  period.

  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 the risk  inherent in the loan  portfolio,  given past,  present and
  expected future conditions.

  At September 30, 1996,  the allowance  for loan losses was $50.9  million,  an
  increase of $2.6 million from the year end 1995 balance of $48.3 million. This
  allowance  represents a reserve coverage of 4.5 times the nonperforming  loans
  at September 30, 1996, compared to 3.1 times coverage at year end 1995 and 2.8
  times coverage at September 30, 1995. The provision  charged to expense during
  the year was $4.9 million in 1996, compared to $9.7 million in 1995.

  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  policies.  Continual  monitoring of both  historical  and
  prospective  ratios 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 contingent plans should such a situation arise.

  Noninterest Income
  Total  noninterest  income for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 was
  $2.4 million  compared to $3.6 million in 1995. For 1996 the Company  recorded
  $1.3 million of net securities  losses during the third  quarter,  compared to
  approximately  $141,000 of net securities gains in 1995.  Therefore once these
  securities  transactions are eliminated,  the 1996 noninterest income was $3.7
  million  compared to $3.5 million in 1995.  Likewise for the nine months ended
  September 30, 1996,  total  noninterest  income  (excluding the effects of net
  securities transactions) was $10.9 million, compared to $10.3 million in 1995.

  Noninterest Expenses
  Total  noninterest  expense  for the third  quarter of 1996 was $10.2  million
  compared to $10.7 million in 1995.  The decrease in occupancy  expense and the
  reduced  cost of  operating  and  disposing  of  other  real  estate  were the
  principal  reasons for the overall decrease in noninterest  expense during the
  two time periods.

                                                       - 13 -




  TrustCo Bank Corp NY
  Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued
  September 30, 1996


  For the first  nine  months of 1996,  noninterest  expense  amounted  to $31.4
  million compared to $34.3 million in 1995. Similar to the quarter results, the
  decrease in total  noninterest  expense was due  principally to a reduction in
  FDIC insurance expense and expenses associated with other real estate.

  Income Taxes
  In the third  quarter of 1996 and 1995,  TrustCo  recognized $ 4.6 million and
  $3.3  million,  respectively,  of income  tax  expense.  This  resulted  in an
  effective tax rate of 37.9% in 1996 and 33.6% in 1995.  For the nine months of
  1996, total tax expense was $12.7 million compared to $9.5 million for 1995.

  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, 1996 was $157.7 million down 1.5%
  from year end 1995. The change in  shareholders'  equity between year end 1995
  and  September  30, 1996  reflects the net income  retained in TrustCo  (after
  shareholders' dividend payments) offset by the reduction in the net unrealized
  appreciation on securities  available for sale of $9.7 million.  Excluding the
  effect of the FASB 115  adjustment  (mark to market on the  available for sale
  securities),  shareholders'  equity  was  $147.7  million at year end 1995 and
  $155.0 million at September 30, 1996.

  TrustCo  declared  dividends  of $0.72 per share so far in 1996,  compared  to
  $0.64 in 1995.  These resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 69.3% in 1996 and
  69.4% in 1995. The Company  achieved the following  ratios as of September 30,
  1996 and 1995:


                                   September 30,            Minimum Regulatory

     capital                     14.25         13.55             8.00


  In addition,  at September 30, 1996 and 1995, the consolidated equity to asset
  ratio (excluding the mark to market on the securities  available for sale) was
  6.91% and 6.82%, respectively.
