NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Tompkins Trustco, Inc. ("Tompkins" or the "Company"), is the corporate parent to
three community banks, Tompkins Trust Company ("Trust Company"), The Bank of
Castile, and The Mahopac National Bank ("Mahopac National Bank"), which together
operate 34 banking offices in New York State market areas served by its
subsidiary banks. Headquartered in Ithaca, New York, Tompkins is registered as a
Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Tompkins was organized in 1995, under the laws
of the State of New York, as a bank holding company for Tompkins Trust Company,
a commercial bank that has operated in Ithaca and surrounding communities since
1836.

Through its community banking subsidiaries, the Company provides traditional
banking services. Tompkins offers trust and investment services through Tompkins
Investment Services, a division of Tompkins Trust Company. The Company also
offers insurance services through its Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc.
("Tompkins Insurance") subsidiary, an independent agency with a history of over
100 years of service to individual and business clients throughout Western New
York. Each Tompkins subsidiary operates with a community focus, meeting the
needs of the unique communities served.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. In the application of certain accounting policies management is
required to make assumptions regarding the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in the consolidated
financial statements. Different amounts could be reported under different
conditions, or if different assumptions were used in the application of these
accounting policies. The accounting policy considered critical in this respect
is the determination of the reserve for loan/lease losses.

In management's opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for fair presentation. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to
be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2003. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial
information included herein combines the results of operations, the assets,
liabilities, and shareholders' equity of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Amounts in the prior period's consolidated financial statements are reclassified
when necessary to conform to the current period's presentation. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

5.  Financial Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others; an Interpretation of FASB
Statement s No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN
No. 45 requires certain disclosures and potential liability recognition for the
fair value at issuance of guarantees that fall within its scope. Based upon the
Company's interpretation of FIN No. 45, the Company currently does not issue any
guarantees that would require liability recognition under FIN No. 45, other than
standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's maximum
potential obligation under standby letters of credit was $12.1 million.
Management uses the same credit policies to extend standby letters of credit
that it uses for on-balance sheet lending decisions and may require collateral
to support standby letters of credit based upon its evaluation of the
counterparty. Management does not anticipate losses as a result of these
transactions.

6.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS: In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No.
143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS
No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES: In June 2002,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. The provisions of this
Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No.
146, effective January 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION-TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE, AN AMENDMENT
OF SFAS NO. 123: In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of SFAS No.
123. This statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its stock option plan. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized only
if the exercise price of the option is less than the fair value of the
underlying stock at the grant date. SFAS No. 123 requires companies not using a
fair value based method of accounting for stock options to provide pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of
accounting had been applied. Had the Company determined compensation cost based
on the fair value of its stock options at the grant date under SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to pro forma
amounts indicated in the following table.


                                                                 Three months ended         Nine months ended

The per share weighted average fair value of the 6,600 stock options granted
during the first nine months of 2003 was $17.48. The per share weighted average
fair value of the 177,100 stock options granted during the first nine months of
2002 was $14.75. Fair values were arrived at using the Black Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

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

In management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable measure of the fair value of its employee stock options because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options for which the Black-Scholes model was developed,
and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect fair
value estimate.

GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING
INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS TO OTHERS: In November 2002, the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an
interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB
Interpretation No. 34. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be
made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its
obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a
guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for
the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and
measurement provisions of the Interpretation were applicable to guarantees
issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.

CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES: In January 2003, the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by
business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the
Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to variable interests in
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable
interests in variable interest entities obtained after January 31, 2003. For
public enterprises with a variable interest in a variable interest entity
created before February 1, 2003, the Interpretation applies to that enterprise
no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period
ending after December 15, 2003. The application of this Interpretation did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Interpretation
requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31,
2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose
information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes
effective. The Company did not have any disclosures required in these
consolidated financial statements.

AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: In
April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies
financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities
under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. This Statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or
modified and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption
of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements as a result of the adoption of this Statement.

ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH
LIABILITIES AND EQUITY: In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both a liability
and equity. It requires that an issuer classify certain financial instruments as
a liability, although the financial instrument may previously have been
classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Tompkins Trustco, Inc. ("Tompkins" or "the Company") was organized in 1995, as
the parent company of Tompkins Trust Company, which traces its charter back to
1836. On December 31, 1999, the Company completed a merger with Letchworth
Independent Bancshares Corporation ("Letchworth"), at which time Letchworth was
merged with and into Tompkins. Upon completion of the merger, Letchworth's two
subsidiary banks, The Bank of Castile and The Mahopac National Bank ("Mahopac
National Bank"), became subsidiaries of Tompkins.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Austin, Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son,
Inc., in a cash and stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. The two
agencies have been merged with and into Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc.
("Tompkins Insurance"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins, offering property
and casualty insurance to individuals and businesses in Western New York State.
The seven offices of Tompkins Insurance include two offices that are shared with
The Bank of Castile. Further details pertaining to mergers and acquisitions are
presented in Note 2 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Through its community bank subsidiaries, the Company provides traditional
banking related services, which constitute the Company's only business segment.
Banking services consist primarily of attracting deposits from the areas served
by its banking offices and using those deposits to originate a variety of
commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans (including commercial loans
collateralized by real estate), and leases, and providing trust and investment
related services. The Company's principal expenses are interest on deposits,
interest on borrowings, and operating and general administrative expenses, as
well as provisions for loan/lease losses. Funding sources, other than deposits,
include borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and cash
flow from lending and investing activities. The Company conducts trust and
investment services through Tompkins Investment Services, a division of Tompkins
Trust Company. Tompkins Investment Services provides trust services, investment
management accounts, custody accounts, retirement plans and rollovers, estate
settlement, and financial planning. Tompkins Insurance primarily provides
services consisting of property and casualty insurance for individuals and
businesses, which complement the services offered through the Company's banking
subsidiaries.

The following discussion is intended to provide the reader with a further
understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
of Tompkins and its operating subsidiaries. It should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Form 10-K and Consolidated Financial Statement notes for the
year ended December 31, 2002, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report may include forward-looking statements with respect to revenue
sources, growth, market risk, and corporate objectives. The Company assumes no
duty, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update forward-looking
statements, and cautions that these statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, all of which could change over time.
Actual results could differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the course of the Company's normal business activity, management must select
and apply many accounting policies and methodologies that contribute to the
financial results presented in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company. Some of these policies are more critical than others. Management
considers the accounting policy relating to the reserve for loan/lease losses
(the "Reserve") to be a critical accounting policy because of the uncertainty
and subjectivity inherent in estimating the levels of Reserve needed to cover
probable credit losses within the loan portfolio and the material effect that
these estimates can have on the Company's results of operations. Based upon
management's evaluation of the Reserve as of September 30, 2003, management
considers the Reserve to be adequate (Refer to "Reserve for Loan /Lease Losses
and Nonperforming Assets", pg. 16). Under different conditions or assumptions,
however, the Company would need to increase or decrease the Reserve.

All accounting policies are important and the reader of the financial statements
should review these policies, described in Note 1 of the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002, to gain a greater understanding of how the Company's
financial performance is reported.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, net income was $6.2 million, which was
approximately unchanged from the same period in 2002. Diluted earnings per share
was $0.75 for third quarter of 2003, compared to $0.75 for the same period in
2002. Earnings per share numbers included in this report have been adjusted for
a 10% stock dividend which was paid on August 15, 2003. Despite some declines
from the third quarter of 2002, the Company's key performance ratios remain
strong. Return on average assets (ROA) for the quarter ended September 30, 2003,
was 1.38%, compared to 1.53% for the same period in 2002. Return on average
shareholders' equity (ROE) for the third quarter of 2003 was 16.14%, compared to
17.22% for the same period in 2002.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, was $18.3
million, an increase of 5.3% over the same period in 2002. Diluted earnings per
share was $2.21 for the first nine months of 2003, compared to $2.08 for the
same period in 2002. Return on average assets for the first nine months of 2003
was 1.40%, compared to 1.49% for the same period in 2002. Return on average
shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 2003 was 16.14%, compared to
16.90% for the same period in 2002. The decrease in ROE is attributable to the
10.2% growth in average equity outpacing the 5.3% growth in net income.

Net Interest Income
The attached Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis
illustrates the trend in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the corresponding yield or cost associated with each. The
Company earned tax-equivalent net interest income of $17.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $17.1 million for the same period
in 2002. An increased volume of earning assets helped offset a decline in net
interest margin in the current quarter. The net interest margin for the third
quarter declined from 4.61% in 2002, to 4.26% in 2003.

Year-to-date September 30, 2003, the Company earned tax-equivalent net interest
income of $51.9 million, an increase of 3.4% over the $50.2 million earned in
the first nine months of 2002. Net interest margin for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, was 4.32%, down from 4.70% for the same period in 2002.

The low interest rate environment has resulted in declines in both the yield on
earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on
earning assets declined from 6.75% for the first nine months of 2002, to 5.81%
for the same period in 2003. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined
from 2.51% to 1.82% over the same period.

Average earning assets for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2003,
increased $177.6 million, or 12.4%, over the same period in 2002. Growth in
earning assets was concentrated in residential real estate, securities, and
commercial lending products. Application volume for residential mortgages over
the past 12 months remained very strong, driven by a low interest rate
environment. However, as a result of increasing rates in the third quarter of
2003, refinance application volume has slowed significantly. Year-to-date
September 30, 2003, average residential mortgage loans increased by $63.0
million, or 18.2%, over the same period last year. The Company sold $41.3
million of residential mortgages over the first nine months of 2003 and
securitized another $39.7 million of residential mortgages during the third
quarter of 2003. The securitized loans are held in the Company's
available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Average securities (excluding changes in unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities) increased by $77.1 million from the first nine
months of 2002. Growth in the securities portfolio includes a $54.7 million
increase in average U.S. Government mortgage-backed securities, and a $28.9
million increase in average U.S. Government agency securities. The low interest
rate environment led to higher prepayments on mortgage-backed securities in 2003
than in 2002. Consequently, premium amortizations on mortgage-backed securities
were also significantly greater in 2003 than in 2002. For the first nine months
of 2003, net amortization on securities totaled $3.3 million compared with $1.1
million for the same period in 2002.

Between September 30, 2002, and September 30, 2003, average balances for
commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, and commercial leases increased
by $26.7 million, $15.6 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. These
commercial lending products represented 47.0% of average loans at September 30,
2003, down from 47.8% of average loans at September 30, 2002. Management
continues to emphasize commercial services, as these commercial loan products
are typically attractive to the Company from a yield and interest rate risk
management perspective.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined from 2.51% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, to 1.82% for the first nine months of 2003. Core
deposits (total deposits, less: brokered deposits, municipal money market
deposits, and

                                       12


time deposits of $100,000 or more) remain a key source of funding for asset
growth. Core deposits increased by $52.9 million, or 5.2%, from an average
balance of $1.0 billion for the first nine months of 2002, to $1.1 billion for
the same period in 2003. Core deposits represent the Company's largest and
lowest cost funding source, with average core deposits representing 67.2% of
average liabilities for the first nine months of 2003. This compares to 71.8%
for the same period in 2002.

Non-core funding sources, which include time deposits of $100,000 or more,
brokered deposits, municipal money market deposits, Federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), and
other borrowings provide additional sources of funding to support asset growth.
Average balances on these non-core funding sources increased by $119.5 million
between September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2003. The primary component of
non-core funding sources at September 30, 2003 was municipal money market
deposits with an average balance of $153.2 million.

Provision for Loan/Lease Losses
The provision for loan/lease losses represents management's estimate of the
expense necessary to maintain the reserve for loan/lease losses (the "Reserve")
at an adequate level. The provision for loan/lease losses of $1.7 million for
the first nine months of 2003, is up from $1.5 million for the same period in
2002. The increase in the provision for loan/lease losses in the first nine
months of 2003 is attributable to an increase in net charge-offs, an increase in
the dollar volume of nonperforming loans, as well as continued growth in the
loan portfolio. Net charge-offs were $1.8 million for the first nine months of
2003, compared to $858,000 in 2002. The Reserve as a percentage of period end
loans was 1.12% at September 30, 2003, and 1.18% at December 31, 2002.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income is an important component of the Company's revenue mix.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $18.8
million, an increase of 8.2% over the same period in 2002. Year-to-date
September 30, 2003, noninterest income represented 27.3% of total revenue,
compared to 26.4% for the same period last year. Excluding gains and losses on
the sale of available-for-sale securities, noninterest income for the three
months ended September 30, 2003, was $6.3 million, an increase of 1.9% over the
$6.2 million earned in same period in 2002.

Trust and Investment Services income was $3.1 million in the first nine months
of 2003, which is in line with the first nine months of 2002. For the third
quarter 2003, Trust and Investment Services income of $1.1 million was up
approximately $162,000, or 17.4%, from the same period last year. Tompkins
Investment Services generates fee income through managing trust and investment
relationships, managing estates, providing custody services, and managing
employee benefits plans. Services are primarily provided to customers in the
Trust Company's market area of Tompkins County and surrounding areas; however,
Tompkins Investment Services representatives serve clients in The Bank of
Castile and Mahopac National Bank markets, and the division currently manages
assets for clients in nearly 40 states. Trends for new business in trust and
investments services remain positive. The general downward trend in national
stock markets in 2002 and early 2003 had an unfavorable impact on trust
commissions and fees. Improvements in the stock markets and revenue for the
division were noted in the second and third quarters of 2003. The market value
of assets managed by, or in custody of, Tompkins Investment Services was
approximately $1.3 billion at September 30, 2003, up nearly 10.3% from December
31, 2002.

Service charges on deposit accounts were $5.2 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2003, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2002.
For the third quarter of 2003, service charges on deposits were $1.9 million, an
increase of $165,000, or 9.7%, over the same quarter last year. The increase in
2003 is due to the increase in deposit accounts, fee increases, and additional
deposit related services. The average dollar volume of noninterest-bearing
accounts increased by 9.8%, from $233.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, to $256.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2003.

Commission and fee income generated through Tompkins Insurance was $4.0 million
for the first nine months of 2003, up 6.1% from $3.7 million for the same period
last year. For the third quarter of 2003, commission and fee income from
Tompkins Insurance was $1.4 million, up 4.5% over the $1.3 million earned in the
third quarter of 2002. Tompkins Insurance primarily offers property and casualty
insurance to individuals and businesses in Western New York State. Rising
premium costs instituted by underwriting insurance companies contributed to the
growth in commissions and fees in 2003.

Income associated with card services was $2.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, an increase of approximately 15.7% from the $2.2 million
earned in the first nine months of 2002. Card services income was $844,000 in

                                       13


the third quarter of 2003, an increase of 5.0% over income of $804,000 in the
same quarter of 2002. An increased number of cardholders and higher transaction
volume contributed to the increase in income in 2003 over 2002. Income from card
services, included in other service charges on the consolidated statements of
income, continues to be an important source of revenue. The Company continues to
expand its product offerings to better serve the needs of customers. Card
services products include traditional credit cards, purchasing cards, debit
cards, and merchant card processing.

The Company has corporate owned life insurance (COLI), which relates to life
insurance and certain other benefits provided to certain senior officers of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Increases in the cash surrender value of COLI are
reflected as noninterest income, net of the related mortality expense.
Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2003 includes $777,000 of income
relating to increases in COLI. This compares to $948,000 for the same period in
2002. The decrease in earnings in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the
same period in 2002 reflects lower returns on the insurance assets as a result
of weak market conditions. The Company's average investment in COLI was $21.8
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, compared to $20.6
million for the same period in 2002. The tax-equivalent return on COLI was 7.96%
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, compared to 10.27% for the
same period in 2002.

During 2003, residential loan volume benefited from the historically low
interest rate environment. As a result of strong application volume, which
included a high percentage of applications to refinance loans currently serviced
by the Company, the volume of residential mortgage loan sales increased from
$24.6 million in the first nine months of 2002 to $41.3 million in 2003. Net
gains from loan sales amounted to $849,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003, compared to $541,000 for the same period in 2002. The volume of
refinancing applications slowed considerably in the third quarter of 2003 as a
result of the upward movement in interest rates. The upward movement in rates
also had a negative impact on gains on the sale of loans, which decreased from
$236,000 in the third quarter of 2002 to $24,000 in the third quarter of 2003.

Management has been proactive in evaluating the performance of individual
securities within the securities portfolio given the recent volatility of
interest rates. As a result, the Company sold $55.0 million of securities during
the third quarter of 2003 and $93.5 million of securities during the first nine
months of 2003. These securities were replaced with securities that management
believes will perform better in the current interest rate environment. Realized
losses on sale of available-for-sale securities amounted to $241,000 in the
third quarter of 2003, compared to gains of $74,000 in the third quarter of
2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, realized gains on
available-for-sale securities were $101,000, compared to realized gains of
$54,000 for the same period in 2002.

Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses were $39.7 million for the first nine months of 2003,
an increase of $1.5 million, or 4.0%, over the same period in 2002. For the
third quarter of 2003, noninterest expenses were $13.3 million, up 3.6% over the
same quarter prior year. The increase in noninterest expense in the first nine
months of 2003 is largely due to higher personnel-related costs.
Personnel-related expenses comprise the largest segment of noninterest expense,
representing approximately 58.4% of noninterest expense in the first nine months
of 2003 compared to 55.1% in the same period of 2002. Personnel-related expenses
of $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, reflect an
increase of 10.2% from $21.0 million in the same period in 2002. The increase in
personnel-related expenses is attributable to a variety of factors including an
increased number of employees, and higher benefit related costs for medical
insurance and pensions. A portion of the increase is attributable to the opening
of two new Trust Company offices in Cortland (December 2002) and Auburn (July
2003), and a new Mahopac National Bank office in LaGrange (July 2002).

Expenses related to bank premises and furniture and fixtures totaled $5.0
million for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $303,000, or 6.5%,
over the same period last year. The additions to Tompkins' branch network
mentioned above contributed to the increase in bank premises and furniture and
fixture expenses.

Other operating expense amounted to $11.0 million in the first nine months of
2003, compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2002. This category
includes expenses for marketing, postage and courier, printing and supplies,
professional fees, software licenses and maintenance, and audits and
examinations. In addition, 2003 expenses include $200,000 of estimated losses
resulting from fraudulent credit card transactions perpetrated against Tompkins
Trust Company and several other banks in the third quarter of 2003. Comparison
of year to date results with 2002 results are favorably impacted by a $250,000
reduction in expense related to residual losses on leased vehicles and $195,000
reduction in expense related to penalties on discretionary prepayment of FHLB
borrowings.

                                       14


Income Tax Expense
The provision for income taxes provides for Federal and New York State income
taxes. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $9.2
million, compared to $8.8 million in 2002. The increased provision is primarily
due to increased levels of taxable income. The effective tax rate for the first
nine months of 2003 was 33.4%, compared to 33.6% for the same period in 2002.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets were $1.8 billion at September 30, 2003, representing
an increase of $134.9 million over total assets reported at December 31, 2002.
Asset growth since year end 2002 included a $42.8 million increase in total
loans and a $79.0 million increase in securities. Loan growth is net of $41.3
million in sales of fixed rate residential mortgage loans and $39.7 million of
residential mortgage loans that were securitized in the third quarter of 2003.
These securitized loans are now held in the Company's available-for-sale
mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The available-for-sale securities
portfolio (at amortized cost) increased by $84.5 million since year end 2002. In
addition to the securitization transaction, part of the increase in the
securities portfolio reflects the use of short-term borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") to purchase securities in advance of anticipated cash
flows from the securities portfolio. During the first nine months of 2003, asset
growth was supported by deposit growth, repurchase agreements and borrowings
from the FHLB.

Capital
Total shareholders' equity was $153.7 million at September 30, 2003, an increase
of $3.1 million over year end 2002. Surplus increased by $29.8 million, from
$46.0 million at December 31, 2002, to $75.8 million at September 30, 2003;
while undivided profits were down $21.6 million, and accumulated other
comprehensive income was down $5.2 million over the same period. The increase in
surplus and decrease in undivided profits is primarily due to the 10% stock
dividend paid on August 15, 2003. Surplus was also affected by the repurchase of
95,799 shares of Tompkins common stock at a total cost of $3.7 million. The
decrease in other comprehensive income relates to a decrease in unrealized gains
on available-for-sale securities largely due to recent increases in interest
rates. Cash dividends paid in the first nine months of 2003 totaled $6.6
million, representing 36.4% of year to date earnings. Cash dividends of $0.82
per share for the first nine months of 2003, were up from $0.78 per share for
the same period in 2002. Dividends per share were retroactively adjusted to
reflect the 10% stock dividend paid on August 15, 2003.

In July 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan
(the "Plan"), which authorizes the repurchase of up to 440,000 shares of
Tompkins common stock over a two year period. During the first nine months of
2003, 95,799 shares have been repurchased under this Plan at an average price of
$38.75. As of September 30, 2003, there were 342,881 shares available for
repurchase under the Plan.

The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Management
believes the Company and its subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy requirements
to which they are subject. The table below reflects the Company's capital
position at September 30, 2003, compared to the regulatory capital requirements
for "well capitalized" institutions.

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


As illustrated above, the Company's capital ratios on September 30, 2003, remain
well above the minimum requirement for "well capitalized" institutions. As of
September 30, 2003, the capital ratios for each of the Company's subsidiary
banks also exceeded the minimum levels required to be considered "well
capitalized".

Reserve for Loan/Lease Losses and Nonperforming Assets
Management reviews the adequacy of the Reserve on a regular basis. Management
considers the accounting policy relating to the Reserve to be a critical
accounting policy, given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of
the Reserve required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material
effect that assumption could have on the results of operations. Factors
considered in determining the adequacy of the Reserve and the related provision
include: management's approach to granting new credit; the ongoing monitoring of
existing credits by the internal and external loan review functions; the growth
and composition of the loan and lease portfolio; comments received during the
course of independent examinations; current local economic conditions; past due
and nonperforming loan statistics; estimated collateral values; and a historical
review of loan and lease loss experience. Based upon consideration of the above
factors, management believes that the Reserve is adequate to provide for the
risk of loss inherent in the current loan and lease portfolio. Activity in the
Company's Reserve during the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 is illustrated
in the table below.

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


The Reserve represented 1.12% of total loans and leases outstanding at September
30, 2003, down slightly from 1.19% at September 30, 2002. The Reserve coverage
of nonperforming loans (loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual loans,
and restructured troubled debt) decreased from 1.60 times at September 30, 2002,
to 1.25 times at September 30, 2003.

The level of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2003 and 2002 is illustrated
in the table below. Nonperforming assets of $9.6 million as of September 30,
2003, reflect an increase of $2.2 million from September 30, 2002. Despite the
increase in nonperforming assets from September 30, 2002, the current level of
nonperforming assets remains modest at 0.53% of total assets. The increase in
nonperforming loans included several large commercial credits totaling $1.7
million that were brought current for principal and interest in October 2003.
Approximately $462,000 of the nonperforming loans at September 30, 2003, were
secured by U.S. Government guarantees, while $2.0 million were secured by one to
four family residential properties.

Potential problem loans/leases are loans/leases that are currently performing,
but where known information about possible credit problems of the related
borrowers causes management to have doubt as to the ability of such borrowers to
comply with the present loan payment terms and may result in disclosure of such
loans/leases as nonperforming at sometime in the future. Management considers
loans/leases classified as Substandard, which continue to accrue interest, to be
potential problem loans/leases. The Company, through its internal loan review
function had identified 25 commercial relationships totaling $11.0 million at
September 30, 2003, and 27 commercial relationships totaling $6.9 million at
December 31, 2002, which it has classified as Substandard, which continue to
accrue interest. These loans remain in a performing status due to a variety of
factors, including payment history, the value of collateral supporting the
credits, and personal or government guarantees. These factors, when considered
in aggregate, give management reason to believe that the current risk exposure
on these loans is not significant. Approximately $500,000 of these loans are
backed by guarantees of U.S. government agencies. While in a performing status
as of September 30, 2003, these loans exhibit certain risk factors, which have
the potential to cause them to become nonperforming. Accordingly, management's
attention is focused on these credits, which are reviewed on at least a
quarterly basis. Management is committed to early recognition of loan problems
and to maintaining an adequate reserve.

Deposits and Other Liabilities
Total deposits were $1.4 billion on September 30, 2003, up $63.9 million, or
4.8%, from December 31, 2002. Core deposits, which include demand deposits,
savings accounts, non-municipal money market accounts, and time deposits of less
than $100,000, represent the primary funding source for the Company. As of
September 30, 2003, core deposits of $1.2 billion represented 69.5% of total
liabilities. This compares to core deposits of $1.0 billion, representing 68.3%
of total liabilities at December 31, 2002. Recent additions to the Tompkins
branch network have helped support deposit growth. New offices include the
LaGrange office (July 2002) of the Mahopac National Bank, and the Cortland
(December 2002) and Auburn (July 2003) offices of the Trust Company.

Non-core funding sources for the Company include: time deposits greater than
$100,000, municipal money market deposits, brokered deposits, securities sold
under repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, and other borrowings.
These non-core funding sources totaled $482.2 million at September 30, 2003, up
$18.0 million from $464.2 million at December 31, 2002. The majority of the
increase was in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other
borrowings. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, totaled $152.1
million at September 30, 2003, compared to $77.8 million at December 31, 2002.
Other borrowings, consisting of term borrowings from the FHLB, decreased from
$81.9 million at December 31, 2002, to $72.3 million at September 30, 2003.
Municipal money market deposits decreased from $172.2 million at December 31,
2002, to $129.7 million at September 30, 2003.

Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Company's ability to efficiently and economically
accommodate decreases in deposits and other liabilities, and fund increases in
assets. The Company uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs,
which include cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, cash flow from
lending and investing activities, deposit growth, securities sold under
repurchase agreements, and borrowings.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $73.1 million as of September 30, 2003, up
from $64.3 million at December 31, 2002. Short term investments, consisting of
securities due in one year or less decreased from $24.8 million on December 31,
2002, to $19.2 million on September 30, 2003. Securities pledged to secure
certain large deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements were
71.7% of total securities as of September 30, 2003, compared to 71.8% as of
December 31, 2002.

Liquidity is enhanced by ready access to national and regional wholesale funding
sources including Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, negotiable
certificates of deposit, and FHLB advances. Through its subsidiary banks, the
Company has borrowing relationships with the FHLB and correspondent banks, which
provide secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. At September 30, 2003, the
unused borrowing capacity on established lines with the FHLB was $162.7 million.
As members of the FHLB, the Company's subsidiary banks can use certain
unencumbered mortgage-related assets to secure additional borrowings from the
FHLB. At September 30, 2003, total unencumbered residential mortgage loans of
the Company were $257.9 million. Additional assets may also qualify as
collateral for FHLB advances upon approval of the FHLB.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Interest rate risk is the primary market risk category associated with the
Company's operations. Interest rate risk refers to the volatility of earnings
caused by changes in interest rates. At least quarterly, the Asset/Liability
Management Committee estimates the likely impact on earnings resulting from
various changing interest rate scenarios. The findings of the Committee are
incorporated into the investment and funding decisions of the Company.

The Condensed Static Gap Table below illustrates the anticipated repricing
intervals of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2003.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Company's Board of Directors has established a policy pursuant to which the
Company's interest rate risk exposure will remain within a range whereby net
interest income will not decline by more than 10% in one year as a result of a
200 basis point change in rates. Based upon the simulation analysis performed as
of September 30, 2003, a 200 basis point upward shift in interest rates over a
one-year time frame would result in a one-year decline in net interest income of
approximately 1.63%, assuming no balance sheet growth and no management action
to address balance sheet mismatches. The same simulation indicates that a 100
basis point decline in interest rates over a one-year period would result in a
decrease in net interest income of 2.22%.

Although the simulation model suggests a relatively modest exposure to changes
in interest rates, the base scenario (which assumes interest rates remain at
current levels) indicates a downward trending net interest margin due to more
assets repricing than liabilities in the current low rate environment. Given the
expectation of a lower net interest margin over the next 12 months, net interest
income growth will be largely dependent upon continued growth in earning assets.

Although the simulation model is useful in identifying potential exposure to
interest rate movements, the Company's current liquidity profile, capital
position, and growth prospects, offer a level of flexibility for management to
take actions that could offset some of the negative effects of unfavorable
movements in interest rates. Management believes the current exposure to changes
in interest rates is not significant in relation to the earnings and capital
strength of the Company

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the
"Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon
that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting
them to any material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries
required to be included in the Company's Exchange Act filings.

There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
Evaluation Date.
