Exhibit 99.1 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] TOMPKINS TRUSTCO INC. For more information contact: James J. Byrnes, Chairman & CEO James W. Fulmer, President Francis M. Fetsko, CFO Tompkins Trustco, Inc. 607.273.3210 For Immediate Release Tuesday, July 26, 2005 Tompkins Trustco, Inc. second quarter net income up 13.9% ITHACA, NY - Tompkins Trustco, Inc. (TMP - American Stock Exchange) Tompkins Trustco, Inc. reported net income of $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 13.9% over net income of $6.1 million reported in the same quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share of $0.77 for the second quarter of 2005 represents a 14.9% increase over the $0.67 reported in the second quarter of 2004. For the year-to-date, diluted earnings per share were $1.47 in 2005, up 9.7% over the first six months of 2004. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $13.4 million, an increase of 9.1% over the same period in 2004. Chairman and CEO, James J. Byrnes commented, "Net income for the quarter benefited from growth in net interest income, noninterest income, as well as a lower provision for loan and lease losses. It has been rewarding to realize growth in our key business areas while maintaining our high standards for asset quality." An improved net interest margin coupled with growth in earning assets resulted in a 6.8% increase in net interest income for the second quarter of 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. Net interest margin for the second quarter improved from 4.08% in June 2004 to 4.15% in June 2005. Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2005 increased $91.2 million, or 5.1% over the same period in 2004. The majority of this growth came from loans, which totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2005, a 9.0% increase from June 30, 2004. For the year-to-date period, net interest income was up 6.5%, while the net interest margin improved to 4.16% for the first six months of 2005, up from 4.11% for the first six months of 2004. Asset quality improved during the period. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings, and other real estate owned, were $6.1 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $8.6 million at June 30, 2004. As a percentage of total assets, the level of nonperforming assets declined from 0.44% at June 30 2004, to 0.30% at June 30, 2005. Improvement in asset quality trends, along with a lower level of net charge-offs, resulted in a lower provision expense for both the year-to-date and quarter-to-date periods. Deposit growth continues to provide funding for growth in earning assets. Total deposits at June 30, 2005 were $1.6 billion, an increase of nearly $100 million from the same period last year. The Company also uses wholesale funding such as borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to support asset growth. At June 30, 2005, these wholesale funding sources amounted to $251.4 million, down from $262.4 million at June 30, 2004. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $7.6 million, an increase of 12.1% from the same period in 2004. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2005 was $14.4 million, up 5.3% from the first six months of 2004. Insurance commissions and fees were $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, up 16.8% from the $1.7 million reported for the same period in 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts in the second quarter of 2005 were relatively flat when compared to the prior year at approximately $2.1 million. Trust and investment services income for the second quarter was down slightly at $1.3 million. Other income for the quarter benefited from a $207,000 gain on the sale of real estate. The sale related to the recent relocation of The Bank of Castile's Warsaw, NY office to a newly renovated facility. Noninterest expenses were $15.3 million for the second quarter, up 4.7% over the same period in 2004. The increase in the second quarter of 2005 was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits related expenses, which were up $396,000, or 4.6% when compared to the second quarter of 2004. Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2005 were $30.6 million, up 5.9% from the first six months of 2004. Current period noninterest expenses were also impacted by the addition of the Mount Kisco Office of Mahopac National Bank, which opened in the third quarter of 2004, and the opening of Tompkins Financial Center in Batavia, New York in the first quarter of 2005. Mr. Byrnes commented, "We are proud to see our longer-term results recognized in the 15th edition of the Americas Finest Companies(R) published by the Staton Institute, Inc.
