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  accounted  for as direct  entries to
equity, such as the mark to market adjustment on securities  available for sale,
foreign  currency items,  minimum  pension  liability  adjustments,  and certain
derivitive gains and losses. 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.
Comprehensive  income for the three month  period  ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
was  $12,625,000  and  $12,996,000  respectively.  The following  summarizes the
components of other comprehensive income:




                                                                                (dollars in thousands)

  Less reclassification adjustment for net gain realized in net income during
  the three months ended March 31, 2001, net of tax

                                                                                  ==============



                                        6






4.       IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities"  (Statement 133), effective January 1, 2001.
This statement  establishes  accounting  and reporting  standards for derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities  in the statement of condition and
measure  those  instruments  at fair  value.  Changes  in the fair  value of the
derivative   financial   instruments   are   reported  in  either   earnings  or
comprehensive income,  depending on the use of the derivative and whether or not
it qualifies for hedge accounting.

Special hedge  accounting  treatment is permitted only if specific  criteria are
met,  including a requirement that the hedging  relationship be highly effective
both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accounting for hedges varies based on
the type of hedge - fair value or cash flow.  Results  of  effective  hedges are
recognized in current earnings for fair value hedges and in other  comprehensive
income for cash flow  hedges.  Ineffective  portions  of hedges  are  recognized
immediately in earnings and are not deferred.

The  adoption  of  Statement  133 as of  January 1, 2001 did not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the Company had no
derivitive instruments or embedded derivitives at adoption or at any time during
the  first  quarter  of  2001.  If the  Company  were to  invest  in  derivative
investments,  there may be increased  volatility in net income and shareholders'
equity on an ongoing basis as a result of accounting for derivative  instruments
in accordance with Statement 133.

In September 2000, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of  Financial  Assets  and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities"  (Statement  140).
Statement  140 provides  accounting  and  reporting  standards for transfers and
servicing  of  financial  assets  and  extinguishments  of  liabilities.   Under
Statement 140, after a transfer of financial  assets,  an entity  recognizes the
financial and servicing  assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes   financial   assets  when  control  has  been   surrendered,   and
derecognizes   liabilities  when  extinguished.   Statement  140  also  provides
standards for  distinguishing  transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers  that are secured  borrowings.  Statement 140 is effective for certain
disclosures  in the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2000,  and for  certain
transactions  occurring  after March 31, 2001. The adoption of Statement 140 did
not have,  and is not  expected  to have,  a  material  effect on the  Company's
consolidated financial statements.

         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' 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 March 31,  2001,  and the
related  consolidated  statements  of income and cash flows for the three  month
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 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  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United
States of America.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance with auditing  standards  generally
accepted  in the  United  States  of  America,  the  consolidated  statement  of
financial  condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2000 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 19, 2001 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,  2000 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
March 31, 2001

                              TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                 MARCH 31, 2001

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 period ended March 31, 2001, with  comparisons to 2000 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 2000 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 2000.

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)  changes in the  regulatory  environment,  and (5)  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 ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

ACQUISITION
During the third quarter 2000 TrustCo acquired  Landmark  Financial  Corporation
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Landmark Community Bank, in a purchase business
combination.  The fair value of Landmark's assets was $26.2 million and the fair
value  of  Landmark's   liabilities  was  $24.3  million  at  the  time  of  the
acquisition.  As a result of the relative immateriality of the balances acquired
in the  Landmark  acquisition,  the  following  discussion  does not  separately
identify the change in balances due to the acquisition.


                                       9


OVERVIEW
TrustCo recorded net income of $11.3 million,  or $0.177 of diluted earnings per
share for the three months  ended March 31,  2001,  as compared to net income of
$10.3  million or $0.162 of  diluted  earnings  per share in the same  period in
2000.

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

`    Increase in interest  earning  assets of $60.2  million to $2.33 billion in
     2001 as compared to $2.27 billion in 2000,

`    Net securities  transactions  resulting in $1.1 million of gains in 2001 as
     compared to $1.0 million of losses in 2000, and

 .    Increases in noninterest income from $4.9 million to $5.2 million in 2001.

These positive factors affecting net income were partially offset by:

`    Decrease in net interest margin from 4.47% in 2000 to 4.28% in 2001,

`    Increase in the  provision  for loan  losses from $850  thousand in 2000 to
     $1.5 million in 2001, and

`    Increase in noninterest expense of $339 thousand to $12.3 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 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  interest  earning  assets  increased to $2.33  billion in 2001 from $2.27
billion in 2000 with an average yield of 7.74% in 2001 and 7.62% in 2000. Income
on earning assets  increased by $1.8 million during this same  time-period  from
$43.3 million in 2000 to $45.1 million in 2001. The increase in interest  income
on earning assets was attributable to both the increase in yield on these assets
and the increase in average balances.

LOANS
The  average  balance of loans was $1.48  billion  in 2001 and $1.35  billion in
2000. The yield on loans decreased slightly from 8.13% in 2000 to 8.12% in 2001.
The  combination  of the higher  average  balances and the slightly  lower rates
resulted in an increase in the interest income on loans by $2.6 million.

                                       10


Within the category of loans, the average  commercial loan balances increased by
$9.6 million,  residential  mortgage  loans  increased by $127.7  million,  home
equity  lines of credit  decreased by $8.4  million,  and the  installment  loan
portfolio  increased  by $2.4  million.  These  changes  continue to reflect the
competitive  environment that exists for loans and the emphasis that TrustCo has
for the residential mortgage loan products.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Securities  available for sale had an average  balance of $582.3  million during
the quarter ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $667.8  million in 2000.  These
balances  earned  an  average  yield of 7.72%  in 2001 and  7.29% in 2000.  This
resulted  in  interest  income  on the  securities  available  for sale of $11.2
million in 2001 and $12.2  million in 2000.  The  decrease  in average  balances
during the quarter caused a $4.6 million decrease in the interest income,  which
was offset by a $3.7 million  increase in interest income due to the increase in
the average rates.

Most of the  decrease  in the  balances  of  securities  available  for sale was
centered in the  categories of U.S.  Treasuries  and  agencies,  mortgage-backed
securities and other securities, which decreased by $46.7 million, $19.1 million
and $55.8  million,  respectively  between  the first  quarter of 2000 and 2001.
Investments in obligations of states and political  subdivisions increased $36.0
million on average.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
The 2001 first quarter average balance of federal funds sold was $268.2 million,
$17.5  million  more  than the  $250.7  million  in 2000.  The  portfolio  yield
decreased  to 5.71% in 2001,  compared  to 5.76% in 2000.  Changes  in the yield
resulted  from changes in the target rate set by the Federal  Reserve  Board for
federal funds sold. Interest income on this portfolio increased by approximately
$186 thousand from $3.6 million in 2000 to $3.8 million in 2001.

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.

Total interest-bearing deposits (which includes interest bearing checking, money
market  accounts,  savings,  and  certificates  of deposit)  decreased  to $1.82
billion  during 2001, and the average rate paid increased to 3.91% for 2001 from
3.53% for 2000. Total interest expense on these deposits  increased $1.5 million
to $17.5 million.

Short-term  borrowings,  primarily the Trustco  Short-Term  Investment  Account,
increased by $50.6  million  between the first  quarter of 2000 and 2001.  Total
interest  expense on this account  increased by $626  thousand in 2001,  and the
average rate paid increased 11 basis points to 4.82%.

                                       11


Demand  deposit  balances  increased  by 10.0%  during the period from the first
quarter of 2000 to the first  quarter of 2001.  The  average  balance was $176.1
million in 2000, and $160.1 million in 2000.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Taxable  equivalent net interest income  decreased to $25.2 million in 2001. The
net interest spread also decreased 26 basis points between 2000 and 2001 and the
net interest margin decreased by 19 basis points.

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 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  describes the nonperforming  assets of TrustCo
as of March 31, 2001.

Nonperforming  loans: Total  nonperforming loans were $11.1 million at March 31,
2001,  an increase from the $ 10.1 million of  nonperforming  loans at March 31,
2000.  Nonaccrual loans were $5.5 million at March 31, 2001 an increase from the
$4.4  million at March 31, 2000.  Restructured  loans were $5.1 million at March
31, 2001 compared to $5.6 million at March 31, 2000.

Virtually  all of the  nonperforming  loans  at  March  31,  2001  and  2000 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 so as to minimize losses or exposures.

                                       12


Total impaired loans at March 31 2001 of $5.6 million, consisted of restructured
retail  loans.  During the first  quarter of 2001,  there were $248  thousand of
commercial loan charge offs, $140 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $1.2
million of residential  mortgage loan charge offs as compared with $433 thousand
of commercial  loan charge offs,  $149 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and
$976 thousand of  residential  mortgage loan charge offs in the first quarter of
2000. Recoveries during the quarter were $559 thousand in 2001 and $611 thousand
in 2000.

Real estate  owned:  Total real estate  owned of $2.2  million at March 31, 2001
increased by $611 thousand since March 31, 2000.

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 March 31,  2001,  the  allowance  for loan  losses was $56.8  million,  which
represents a slight increase from the $56.3 million in the allowance at December
31, 2000. The allowance  represents  3.80% of the loan portfolio as of March 31,
2001 compared to 4.11% at March 31, 2000.  The provision  charged to expense was
$1.5 million compared to $850 thousand for 2000.

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  that
     TrustCo operates in,

 .    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.

                                       13


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 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 first quarter was $6.3  million,  compared to
$3.8 million in 2000.  Included in both the 2001 and 2000 first quarter  results
are net securities  gains of $1.1 million in 2001, and net securities  losses of
$1.0 million in 2000.  Once these  securities  transactions  are removed,  total
noninterest income increased from $4.9 million in 2000 to $5.2 million in 2001.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Total  noninterest  expense was $12.3 million for 2001 compared to $11.9 million
in 2000. The Company's efficiency ratio was 39.56% in 2001 and 38.31% in 2000.

INCOME TAXES
In the first quarter of 2001 and 2000,  TrustCo recognized income tax expense of
$5.2 million. The effective tax rate was 31.4% for 2001 and 33.6% for 2000.

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 capital retention.

Total  shareholders'  equity at March 31, 2001 was $200.0  million,  an increase
from the $195.8 million at year-end 2000. The change in shareholders' equity for
the first  quarter 2001 reflects a $1.3 million  increase in the net  unrealized
gain on securities  available for sale, $2.1 million of net earnings retained by
the Company,  and a $2.0 million increase in capital and surplus  resulting from
stock options exercised, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in treasury
stock.

                                       14


TrustCo  declared  dividends  of $0.150 in 2001,  compared  with $0.130 in 2000.
These results  represent a dividend payout ratio of 81.72% in 2001 and 78.07% in
2000. The Company achieved the following ratios as of March 31, 2001 and 2000:

                                             March 31,       Minimum Regulatory

                 capital               13.75%        13.66        4.00

        Total risk adjusted
                 capital               15.04         14.95        8.00


In addition, at March 31, 2001 and 2000, the consolidated equity to total assets
ratio (excluding the mark to market effect of securities available for sale) was
7.24%.
