3.      Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130,  "Reporting Comprehensive
Income,"  (Statement 130). This Statement  establishes  standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive  income and its  components.  Comprehensive
income includes the reported net income of a company  adjusted for items that
are currently  accounted for as direct entries to equity,  such as the mark to
market  adjustment on securities  available for sale,  foreign currency items
and minimum pension liability  adjustments.  At the Company,  comprehensive
income represents net income plus other comprehensive  income, which  consists
of the net change in unrealized  gains or losses on securities  available  for
sale for the period.  Accumulated  other comprehensive income represents the
net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale as of the
balance sheet dates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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 (the Company) as of June 30, 1999,  and the
related  consolidated  statements  of income for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the  consolidated  statements of cash
flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  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, 1998 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 22,
1999, 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, 1998 is
fairly stated,  in all material  respects,  in relation to the consolidated
statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

                             TrustCo Bank Corp NY
                    Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                June 30, 1999

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 six month periods ended June 30, 1999,
with  comparisons to 1998 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 1998 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 been adjusted for the 15% stock
split declared in August 1998.

Forward-looking  Statements  Statements  included  in this  review and in future
filings by TrustCo with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  in TrustCo's
press  releases,  and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized
executive   officer,   which  are  not   historical   or  current   facts,   are
"forward-looking  statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995,  and are subject to certain
risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to differ  materially
from historical earnings and those presently  anticipated or projected.  TrustCo
wishes  to  caution   readers   not  to  place   undue   reliance  on  any  such
forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of the date made. The following
important  factors,  among others, in some cases have affected and in the future
could  affect  TrustCo's  actual  results,  and  could  cause  TrustCo's  actual
financial   performance  to  differ   materially  from  that  expressed  in  any
forward-looking  statement:  (1)  credit  risk,  (2)  interest  rate  risk,  (3)
competition,  (4)  certain  vendors of critical  systems or services  failing to
comply  with  Year  2000  programming  issues,  (5)  changes  in the  regulatory
environment,  and (6)  changes in general  business  and  economic  trends.  The
foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive,  and the Company disclaims
any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking  statements to reflect
events or  circumstances  after the date of such  statements,  or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Following this discussion is the table "Distribution of Assets,  Liabilities and
Shareholders'  Equity:  Interest Rates and Interest  Differential" which gives a
detailed  breakdown of TrustCo's  average  interest  earning assets and interest
bearing  liabilities for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.

Overview
TrustCo  recorded net income of $9.5 million,  or $0.34 of diluted  earnings per
share for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to net income of
$8.7 million or $0.31 of diluted  earnings per share in the same period in 1998.
For the six month  period ended June 30,  1999,  TrustCo  recorded net income of
$18.8 million, or $0.67 of diluted earnings
                                     9



per share, as compared to $17.0 million,  or $0.61 of diluted earnings per share
for the comparable period in 1998.

The primary factors accounting for the year to date increases are:

    '       Increase in average  total  interest  earning  assets of $45.7
            million or 2.0% between June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999,

    '       A 16 basis points increase in the net interest margin from 3.85%
            for the first six months of 1998 to 4.01% for 1999,

    '       An increase in noninterest  income  (excluding  securities
            transactions) by approximately $1 million to $10.7 million at June
            30, 1999, and

    '       A reduction in applicable income taxes by $400 thousand between
            1998 and 1999.

These increases were partially offset by an increase of $700 thousand 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 the sensitivity of
net interest  income to changes in interest  rates to an acceptable  level while
enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long- term basis.

Earning Assets

Total  average  interest  earning  assets  increased  from $2.34 billion for the
second  quarter of 1998 to $2.36  billion in 1999 with an average yield of 7.23%
in 1999 and 7.63% in 1998.  Income on earning  assets  decreased by $2.1 million
during  this same  time-period  from $44.7  million in 1998 to $42.6  million in
1999. The decrease in interest income on earning assets was  attributable to the
reduction in yield on these assets.

For the six month period ended June 30,  1999,  the average  balance of interest
earning  assets was $2.36  billion,  an increase of $45.7 million or 2% from the
balance for the comparable period in 1998 of $2.31 billion. The average yield on
interest  earning  assets  was 7.71% for 1998,  compared  to 7.24% in 1999.  The
increase in the average balance of earning assets did not completely  offset the
reduction in the yield earned on these assets,  thereby resulting in a reduction
in interest  income of $3.7 million to $85.2 million for the six months of 1999,
compared to $88.9 million for the six months of 1998.

                                       10



Loans
The average  balance of loans for the second  quarter was $1.32  billion in 1999
and $1.31 billion in 1998.  The yield on loans  decreased  from 8.54% in 1998 to
8.01% in 1999.  The  combination of the higher  average  balances  offset by the
lower  rates  resulted  in a decrease  in the  interest  income on loans by $1.4
million.

For the six-month  period ended June 30, 1999,  the average  balance in the loan
portfolio was $1.32 billion compared to $1.30 billion for the comparable  period
in 1998.  The average yield  decreased  from 8.59% in 1998 to 8.05% in 1999. The
increase in the average balance of loans outstanding  offset slightly the impact
of the  reduction  in the  yield  resulting  in total  interest  income of $53.1
million in 1999 compared to $55.9 million in 1998.

The  reduction  in the yield in the loan  portfolio  was the result of  dramatic
reductions in the rates for new and refinanced  loans.  Since June 1998,  market
interest rates on real estate loan products have decreased,  thereby stimulating
new loan demand and providing an  opportunity  for customers to refinance  their
existing  loan  balances  at  lower  rates.  This  situation   resulted  in  the
residential  mortgage loan portfolio growing on average by $46.8 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999,  compared to June 30, 1998. This growth in
the residential  mortgage loan portfolio caused the yield to decrease from 8.11%
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 to 7.82% for the comparable  period
in 1999. The home equity loan portfolio and the commercial real estate portfolio
are also significantly  affected by the interest rates in the marketplace.  Both
products  have rates tied to various  indexes  such as prime rate.  As the index
changes,  so will the rates earned on these assets.  The  commercial  loan yield
decreased  from 9.54% for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1998 to 8.90% for
the  six-month  period  ended June 30,  1999.  The home  equity  loan  portfolio
experienced  a similar  reduction in rates as the average yield  decreased  from
9.44% in 1998 to 7.72% in 1999.  The home equity loan rate  decline was also the
result of  reductions  made in the pricing  process for this product in order to
make it more  competitive  with home  equity  loans  offered at other  financial
institutions. Though these changes in pricing were made for the home equity loan
product,  the average  balance of these loans  decreased from $165.8 million for
the six-month  period ended June 30, 1998 to $144.1  million for the  comparable
period in 1999.

Securities Available for Sale
During the second quarter of 1999, the average  balance of securities  available
for sale was $682.1  million with a yield of 6.98%,  compared to $579.7  million
for the second  quarter of 1998 with a yield of 7.23%.  The  combination  of the
increase in average  balance  offset by the  reduction  in the yields  caused an
increase in interest  income on  securities  available  for sale of $1.4 million
between the second quarter of 1999 and 1998.

The six-month  results  reflect the same  principal  trends noted for the second
quarter.  The total average balance of securities  available for sale during the
six months of 1999 was $680.2 million with an average yield of 6.96% compared to
an average balance for


                                      11


1998 of $592.7 million with a yield of 7.30%.

Reflected in both the second quarter and six-month results are reductions in the
average  balances  invested in securities  issued by the U.S.  Government or its
agencies that are "callable" by the agency. As interest rates in the market have
decreased,  these securities were called by the agency and consequently resulted
in TrustCo having additional funds in overnight investments.  Through the second
quarter   there  has  also  been  an   increase   in  the  amount   invested  in
mortgage-backed  securities.  These are pass through securities that are secured
by the underlying  mortgage loans and government  guarantees.  With the types of
mortgage-backed  securities that TrustCo purchases,  there is little credit risk
in the portfolio.  Rather,  the risk with respect to these securities rests with
the issue of interest rates. As interest rates in the mortgage markets decrease,
the  underlying  loans  will  prepay  early  or  refinance  in  their  entirety.
Generally,  mortgage-backed  securities  provide  cash flows over a longer  time
period to final maturity, than do callable securities.

Also during the later part of 1998 and into early 1999,  TrustCo has invested in
asset-backed  securities.  The  underlying  collateral  for these bonds are home
equity  loans and home equity  lines of credit.  Virtually  all of the bonds are
insured and have an average life of less than three years.  All of the bonds are
"AAA" rated by Standard and Poors or Moody's.  At June 30, 1999, the Company had
invested $115.6 million in asset-backed securities.


Federal Funds Sold
During the second quarter of 1999, the average balance of federal funds sold was
$350.4  million with a yield of 4.79%,  compared to the average  balance for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 of $455.3  million with an average  yield
of 5.55%. The $104.9 million reduction in the average balance, combined with the
76 basis points decrease in the average yield, resulted in total interest income
on federal  funds sold of $4.2  million for 1999  compared  to $6.3  million for
1998.

During the six-month  period ended June 30, 1999, the average balance of federal
funds was $354.1 million with a yield of 4.78% compared to an average balance of
$414.4 million in 1998 with an average yield of 5.56%.

The federal funds portfolio is utilized to generate  additional  interest income
and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed  into the loan and  securities
portfolios.  The  reduction  in the average  balance for the three month and six
month  periods of 1999  compared to 1998 are the result of increases in the loan
and  securities  portfolios  during  those  time  periods,  funded  through  the
liquidation of federal funds sold.

The  reduction  in the yield on federal  funds sold between 1998 and 1999 is the
result of  changes  made by the  Federal  Reserve  Bank for the  target  rate on
overnight federal funds  investments.  During the later part of 1998 the Federal
Reserve Bank reduced its target rate by 75 basis points to 4.75%.





                                       12



Funding Opportunities
TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio.
The vast  majority  of the  Company's  funding  comes from  traditional  deposit
vehicles such as savings,  interest bearing checking and time deposit  accounts.
Also, TrustCo developed a Short-Term  Investment Account which was introduced in
1995 exclusively for customers of the Trust Department.

During the quarter,  total interest  bearing  liabilities  were $2.1 billion for
both 1998 and 1999.  The rate paid on total  interest  bearing  liabilities  was
4.33% for the second  quarter of 1998,  70 basis  points  greater than the 3.63%
rate paid for 1999. Total interest expense for the second quarter decreased $3.8
million to $18.6 million for 1999 compared to $22.5 million for 1998.

Similar  changes in interest  bearing  liabilities  were noted for the six-month
period as was discussed for the quarter. Total interest bearing liabilities were
$2.1 billion for the six-month  periods  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  The rate
paid on these balances decreased from 4.34% for 1998 to 3.70% for 1999.

During 1998 and continuing  into 1999,  TrustCo has reduced the rate paid on all
funding  sources  from  4.33% for the  second  quarter  of 1998 to 3.63% for the
second quarter of 1999.  These reductions in interest rates were the result of a
general fall in interest rates in the market place between those two dates.  The
Federal  Reserve Bank reduced the target  federal  funds rate by 75 basis points
during the same time period.  From that  reduction  there were also  declines in
bond yields,  mortgage  interest rates and deposit  rates.  TrustCo has actively
managed the pricing of deposit products in relation to investment  opportunities
and  marketing  objectives.  Interest  rates  on all  deposit  types  have  been
aggressively reduced, while at the same time the average balances have increased
from the period one year ago.

Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased to $24.0 million for the second
quarter of 1999. The net interest  spread also increased 30 basis points between
1998 and 1999 and the net interest margin increased by 28 basis points.

Similar  increases  were noted in taxable  equivalent net interest  income,  net
interest spread and net interest margin for the six-month  period ended June 30,
1999, compared to the same period in 1998. Net interest income for the first six
months of 1999 was $47.4  million,  an increase of $2.7  million  over the $44.7
million for the first six months of 1998. Net interest spread increased 17 basis
points to 3.54% and net interest  margin  increased 16 basis points to 4.01% for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, compared to the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming  assets  include  nonperforming  loans  which are those loans in a
nonaccrual status,  loans that have been restructured,  and loans past due three



                                     13




payments  or more and still  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 considered to be those  commercial and commercial real estate
loans in a nonaccrual status, and loans restructured since January 1, 1995, when
the accounting standards required the identification,  measurement and reporting
of impaired  loans.  The  following  will describe the  nonperforming  assets of
TrustCo as of June 30, 1999.

Nonperforming  loans: Total  nonperforming  loans were $11.5 million at June 30,
1999, a decrease from the $12.4 million of  nonperforming  loans at December 31,
1998 and up from the $11.0 million at June 30, 1998.  Nonaccrual loans were $5.4
million at June 30,  1999 down from the $7.1  million at  December  31, 1998 and
down  from the $6.4  million  at June 30,  1998.  Restructured  loans  were $4.1
million at June 30, 1999  compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 1998 and $3.8
million at June 30, 1998.

Of the $11.5  million  of  nonperforming  loans at June 30,  1999,  all but $1.9
million are residential real estate or retail consumer loans. In prior years the
vast majority of  nonperforming  loans were  concentrated  in the commercial and
commercial  real  estate  portfolios.  There  has been a  dramatic  shifting  of
nonperforming  loans to the  residential  real estate and retail  consumer  loan
portfolio for several factors, including:

         '      The overall emphasis within TrustCo for residential real estate
                originations,
         '      The relatively weak economic environment in the upstate New
                York territory, and
         '      The reduction in real estate values in TrustCo's market area
                that has occurred since the middle of the 1990's,  thereby
                causing a reduction in the collateral that supports the real
                estate loans.

Consumer  defaults and bankruptcies  have increased  dramatically  over the last
several  years and this has lead to an increase  in  defaults on loans.  TrustCo
strives to identify borrowers that are experiencing  financial  difficulties and
to work aggressively with them to minimize losses or exposures.

Total impaired loans at June 30, 1999 of $5.2 million, consisted of restructured
retail loans. During the first six months of 1999, there have been $190 thousand
of commercial  loan charge offs,  $285 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and
$4.2  million of mortgage  loan charge  offs as compared  with $575  thousand of
commercial loan charge offs, $440 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $2.4
million of mortgage loan charge offs in the first six months of 1998. Recoveries
during  the first  six-month  periods  have been $2.9  million  in 1999 and $1.7
million in 1998.

Real  estate  owned:  Total real estate  owned of $2.5  million at June 30, 1999
decreased by $2.7 million since year-end 1998. This decrease was due to the sale
of two  commercial  real estate  properties and various  residential  properties
during 1999.


                                     14






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.

At June 30,  1999,  the  allowance  for loan  losses  was $55.7  million,  which
represents a slight increase from the $54.4 million in the allowance at December
31, 1998.  The allowance  represents  4.20% of the loan portfolio as of June 30,
1999 compared to 4.11% at December 31, 1998.  The  provision  charged to expense
was $1.5  million  compared  to $1.6  million  for the  second  quarter  of 1999
compared to 1998. For the six-month  periods,  the provision  charged to expense
was $3.0 million for 1999 and $2.9 million for 1998.

In deciding on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews
the current  nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and
not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting  purposes.  Also, there are a
number of other  factors  that are taken into  consideration,  including:
         '      The magnitude  and nature of the recent loan charge offs and the
                movement of charge offs to the residential real estate loan
                portfolio,

         '      The growth in the loan  portfolio  and the  implication  that
                has in relation to the economic  climate in the bank's  business
                territory,

         '      Changes in underwriting standards in the competitive environment
                in which TrustCo operates,

         '      Significant  growth in the level of losses  associated with
                bankruptcies and the time period needed to foreclose,  secure
                and dispose of collateral, and

         '      The relatively weak economic environment in the upstate New
                York territory combined with declining real estate prices.

Consumer  bankruptcies and defaults in general have risen  significantly  during
the 1990's.  This trend appears to be continuing as a result of economic  strife
and the relative ease of access by consumers to additional credit. Job growth in
the upstate New York area has been modest to declining and there continues to be
a shifting of higher paying jobs in manufacturing and government to lower paying
service jobs.

In light of these trends,  management  believes the allowance for loan losses is
reasonable  in  relation  to the  risk  that  is  present  in its  current  loan
portfolio.

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


                                    15





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  contingency  plans should such a situation
arise.

Noninterest Income
Total  noninterest  income for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999 was $4.3
million,  a decrease of $1.1 million from the comparable  period in 1998. During
the 1999 period,  the Company  recorded net  securities  losses of $657 thousand
compared  to $104  thousand  of net  gains  for the  comparable  period in 1998.
Excluding these securities transactions,  noninterest income decreased from $5.2
million in the second  quarter of 1998 to $4.9 million in 1999.  The decrease is
the result of a gain  recognized  on the sale of bank  premises and equipment in
1998 for $540 thousand.

Similar  results  were also  recognized  for the six months of 1999  compared to
1998.  Total  noninterest  income was $9.7  million  for 1999  compared  to $9.9
million for 1998. Excluding net securities  transactions,  the balances for 1999
and 1998 would have been $10.7  million and $9.8 million  respectively.  Most of
the year to date  increase  resulted from the gain on sales of bank premises and
equipment.  As of June 30, 1998 the gain on sales of bank premises and equipment
was $587 thousand, while as of June 30, 1999 it was $1.2 million.

Noninterest Expenses
Total  noninterest  expense for the second  quarter of 1999 was $11.4 million up
slightly from $11.3 million in the second  quarter of 1998.  For the  six-months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  total  noninterest  expense was $23.6 million and
$22.8 million respectively.

Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of
$4.9 million and $5.2 million  respectively.  This  resulted in an effective tax
rate of 34.0% for 1999 and 37.4% for 1998.  For the  six-months  of 1999,  total
income tax expense was $9.7 million compared to $10.1 million for 1998.

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 retained in the Company (after
the dividends on the common stock).

Total  shareholders'  equity at June 30, 1999 was $176.5 million,  a decrease of
$9.3 million from the year-end of 1998 balance of $185.8 million.  The change in
the  shareholders'  equity between  year-end 1998 and June 30, 1999 reflects the

TrustCo  declared  dividends of $0.55 per share during the first  six-months  of
1999 compared to $0.478 in 1998.  These  resulted in a dividend  payout ratio of
78.62% in 1999 and 75.22% in 1998.  The Company  achieved the following  capital
ratios as of June 30, 1999 and 1998:

Year 2000 Update

General:
Management believes that TrustCo's  company-wide Year 2000 project is proceeding
on schedule. The Year 2000 project is addressing the issue of computer software,
hardware,  and embedded  computer chips being unable to distinguish  between the
years 1900 and 2000.  TrustCo  operates its principal  financial  accounting and
record keeping systems using software purchased from Alltel.  Beginning in 1995,
TrustCo  started a project to upgrade this software to the most current  release
available and to work with Alltel to make the appropriate changes in order to be
ready to process Year 2000  transactions.  A timetable was established for these
upgrades to occur which would  culminate in the  installation  of a final set of
upgrades that would be Year 2000 ready.  Since 1995,  TrustCo has worked closely
with Alltel to ensure that they are making the appropriate  remediation  efforts
required to have their  programs Year 2000 ready.  While these  activities  were
ongoing,  TrustCo directed its efforts to installing the upgrades and making the
other  changes  required to be  positioned to handle the Year 2000 programs from
Alltel once they were completed.

In  addition to the Alltel  programs,  there are a limited  number of  mainframe
application  programs that were  purchased  from Kirchman  Corporation.  TrustCo
worked  directly with the technical  support staff at Kirchman to evaluate these
applications   for  any  program  changes  required  to  accommodate  Year  2000
processing  requirements.  In light of the program  structure  and the fact that
these programs already utilize the full century date in their processing,  it is
not  anticipated  that  there  will  be any  difficulties  with  these  programs
accepting Year 2000 data.

Throughout the organization,  TrustCo utilizes other computer systems to process
various activities.  Some of the functionality provided by these systems is of a
routine  nature and is not critical to the  operations of TrustCo.  The critical
non-mainframe  applications are the ATM application,  which runs on an IBM AS400
system;  Trust Accounting,  which runs on an Alpha system from Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC); and Payroll, which is a server-based application.

TrustCo has  completed  the  installation  of all upgrades  and program  changes
required by the software  vendors to make all mission critical systems Year 2000
compliant.  Testing has also been  successfully  completed with respect to these
systems  to  determine  that they are  functional  using  Year 2000  dates.  The
schedule for the  remainder of 1999 is to continue  testing the systems,  and to
install any new program changes identified by the software vendors. TrustCo will
also  continue  testing with third party  exchange  partners and vendors for the
remainder of 1999.


                                       18



The Year 2000  project  also  addresses  the  increasing  speculation  regarding
short-and  long-term  unavailability of certain consumer goods, which may prompt
people to  accumulate  or hoard  cash in  quantities  sufficient  to meet  their
personal  needs  for a period  of time.  The Year 2000  project  has  provisions
dealing with the need for additional cash in the branches later in 1999 and into
the year 2000.  Arrangements  have been made to obtain and transport  additional
cash to the branches should the demand increase during those time periods.

Mainframe Operations:
Alltel Software:  The vast majority of all transactions processed by TrustCo are
performed using Alltel software.  Beginning in 1995, the Company inventoried all
of the  applications  that are  processed on the mainframe  and  identified  the
program  release that TrustCo  needed in order to be Year 2000 ready. A schedule
was  developed  and  outside  consulting  resources  were  engaged to assist the
in-house  programming  staff to have all applications  operating Year 2000 ready
programs upgraded by mid-1998. Completion of that schedule has been accomplished
and all Alltel Year 2000 ready programs have been installed.

Kirchman programs:  TrustCo utilizes three programs purchased from Kirchman that
operate on the mainframe  computer.  The TrustCo in-house  programming staff and
outside  consultants  have reviewed  these  programs and have concluded that the
programs are currently Year 2000 ready.

IBM operating system: The IBM operating system also required an upgrade to a new
version  to ensure  that it would be Year 2000  ready.  This  software  has been
obtained and installed.

ATM  application:  A second system,  identical to the system in place being used
for daily production,  has been installed for ATM Year 2000 testing.  The system
software  for the  platform has been  upgraded to IBM's Year 2000  release.  The
application  software for both TrustCo and non-TrustCo ATM transactions has been
installed and placed into service.

Trust Accounting:  A second system, identical to the system being used for daily
production,  has been  installed for Trust  Department  Year 2000  testing.  The
operating  system  software has been  upgraded to DEC's Year 2000  release.  The
application software has been upgraded to the vendor's Year 2000 release.

Non-information  Technology:  In  addition  to  computer  systems  utilized  for
information  technology,  TrustCo is also  dependent  upon certain  computerized
operations for such things as electrical  services,  heating and communications.
As part of the Year 2000  project,  TrustCo  has  taken  steps to  evaluate  the


                                       19



magnitude  of the  computer  dependency  of  these  systems  and  the  potential
disruption  of services  should these  systems  fail.  Third-party  vendors that
support these systems have been contacted and are being  monitored by TrustCo in
relation to their Year 2000 implementation plan. Significant  dependencies exist
with respect to utilities such as the electric  companies.  TrustCo has obtained
the Year 2000 project plans for these  utilities and is monitoring the continued
compliance  with their plans.  The TrustCo  contingency  plan also  provides for
generator back up power at key sites to allow for minimum  functionality  should
the primary electric providers be inoperative in Year 2000.

Personal Computers:
TrustCo reviewed all programs and  departmental  functions that utilize personal
computers.  This inventory was then  prioritized to identify  critical  programs
that  needed to be Year  2000  ready.  All of the  critical  programs  have been
rewritten or new software has been installed so that they are year 2000 ready.

Testing:
To ensure  that each of the  systems  that  TrustCo  operates  will be Year 2000
ready,  a testing  plan has been  developed.  To assist in testing,  TrustCo has
purchased  redundant  equipment  for all of the hardware.  This will  facilitate
extended  hours for testing and will ensure that none of the testing will in any
way affect production programs. As part of the test plan, TrustCo has identified
several dates that need to be tested.  These include  year-end 1999 and 2000 and
other  critical dates during 1999 and 2000.  Also various  software and hardware
vendors have  identified  critical  test dates for their systems which have been
incorporated into the overall test plan.

Detailed  test scripts have been  developed to determine  that once the computer
clocks  have  been  rolled  forward  to the  appropriate  test  dates,  specific
transactions and processes are performed to validate operational integrity. Data
aging software has also been obtained that will assist in identifying all of the
affected  data fields and change  them to the future  date as  required  for the
test.

The test plan requires each  application to be tested initially on a stand-alone
basis to ensure that it is  operational  in current  date mode and will  support
production.  Once that test is completed, the plan calls for each application to
be tested in future date mode on a stand-alone  basis. The test plan is designed
to help  identify  and  isolate  problems,  if any  exist,  in future  date mode
testing.  The  individual  application  testing  will then  lead to  entity-wide
testing  in future  date mode to ensure  that all of the  applications  function
properly in the future date environment.

TrustCo has substantially  completed testing of the mission-critical  systems in


                                       20




future date mode.  Test data and test scripts were  completed for selected dates
and all output and processing was  completed.  Further  testing will continue in
1999 as TrustCo interfaces with third-party vendors and service providers.

The  detailed  test plan  covers all  aspects  of  TrustCo's  operations  on the
mainframe, as well as all other mission-critical platforms.

Customer Evaluations:
TrustCo has completed a review of its  significant  customer  relationships  and
their dependency on computerized systems. In addition,  significant new customer
relationships  will also be subject to this evaluation.  TrustCo has established
an ongoing assessment as part of the credit granting and review process.

Vendor Monitoring:
In addition  to the main  application  software  vendors,  TrustCo has  numerous
interfaces  and data  exchanges  with third  parties  and  vendors.  Each of the
critical  interfaces and vendors has been contacted to determine that their Year
2000 plans are adequate and will meet the timetables  required by TrustCo.  When
such plans are not provided or do not  adequately  address  Year 2000  concerns,
alternate vendors or data exchange methods have been identified.

These  interfaces  and data  exchanges  with third  parties  and  vendors  occur
utilizing  numerous  types of programs  and  computer  systems.  Their Year 2000
projects  require them to be compliant in accordance  with  timetables  that are
acceptable  to TrustCo and in accordance  with  guidelines  established  by bank
regulators.  Due to the number of such  interfaces and data exchanges with third
parties  and  vendors,  there is a risk that some may not meet their  schedules.
TrustCo is monitoring these  activities and will take appropriate  action should
the need arise.

Contingency Planning:
All of the mainframe  application software is currently  operational on software
that TrustCo's vendors have identified as being Year 2000 ready.  Likewise,  all
of the  critical  PC programs  have been  updated or  rewritten  to be Year 2000
ready. Substantially all future date testing has been completed and test results
provided  assurance to  management  that the system will be  functional  in Year
2000. As problems are identified,  the affected programming code is analyzed and
rewritten or replaced if needed.

The contingency plan that has been developed was designed to ensure that all the
testing and remediation  efforts are completed in order to provide adequate time
for final  corrections  to  software  prior to Year  2000.  Plans are also being
developed to identify and plan for  unanticipated  disruption of services  after
Year


                                       21



2000.  These plans  include  timetables  for moving  operations to disaster
recovery  sites,  the  availability of additional  programming  staff during the
critical time periods and back-up for program and data files. Initial plans have
been developed and will be updated continuously.

Cost:
The total  cost  associated  with  required  modifications  to become  Year 2000
compliant is not expected to be material to the Company's financial  statements.
Most of the costs associated with this project are for programming services paid
to third-party  consultants.  Internal costs have not been captured,  since they
are relatively fixed costs and are a reallocation of existing  resources to this
project. Costs paid to third-party vendors during the Year 2000 project were for
the  following  services:

         '     Installation  of  upgrades to software in order to utilize the
               most recent version released by the vendor,
         '     Applying the Year 2000 code,
         '     Applying custom code that is utilized by TrustCo in its
               operations, and,
         '     Providing  production  support  to the  Company as these
               upgrades  are being installed.

The cost of applying the Year 2000 remediation code to the upgraded  programs is
not  separately  determinable  from the  other  services  that  the  third-party
consultants have been providing.  The professional service cost for the services
noted  above is  estimated  to be  approximately  $2  million  for the Year 2000
project.  Through  June 30,  1999,  approximately  80% of these  costs have been
expensed.

Risk:
The  failure  to  correct  a  material  Year  2000  problem  could  result in an
interruption  in,  or a  failure  of,  certain  normal  business  activities  or
operations.  Such failures could  materially and adversely  affect the Company's
results of  operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general
uncertainty  inherent  in the Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part  from the
uncertainty  of the Year 2000  readiness of  third-party  exchange  partners and
vendors,   the  Company  is  unable  to  determine  at  this  time  whether  the
consequences  of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations,  liquidity or financial condition.  The Year 2000 project
is expected to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the
Year 2000  problem  and,  in  particular,  about the Year  2000  compliance  and
readiness of its material  third-party data exchange  partners and vendors.  The
Company believes that, with the  implementation  of the modifications of all the
software and the monitoring of third-party  data exchange  partners and vendors,
the  possibility of significant


                                       22



interruptions  of normal  operations  should be reduced.

The  most  likely  worst  case  scenario  is that  certain  interfaces  and data
exchanges with third parties and vendors may not be fully functional at or after
the century date change.  Because it is  impossible to predict the nature of the
failure,  the  length of time that it takes to  correct,  and the  extent of the
failure,  it is not  possible  to  reasonably  estimate  the impact on  TrustCo.
Management's  plan for testing with third  parties and vendors will be completed
during 1999.  This worst case  scenario  could  increase the overall cost of the
Year 2000  project;  however,  management  believes that this  scenario,  though
possible, has only a minor likelihood of occurring.

update should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  disclosures  under the
heading "Forward-Looking  Statements" dealing with cautionary statements for the

Reform Act of 1995.
