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 Wednesday, July 19, 2006 Tompkins Trustco, Inc. reports second quarter earnings ITHACA, NY - Tompkins Trustco, Inc. (TMP - American Stock Exchange) Tompkins Trustco, Inc. reported net income of $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of 2.4% from net income of $6.9 million reported in the same quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share of $0.68 for the second quarter of 2006 represents a 2.9% decline from the $0.70 reported in the second quarter of 2005. For year-to-date 2006, diluted earnings per share were $1.31, a decline of 2.2% from the $1.34 reported for first six months of 2005. Net income of $13.2 million for the first six months of 2006 was down 1.4%, compared to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Chairman and CEO, James J. Byrnes commented, "The continued upward movement in short term interest rates has resulted in a very challenging environment for net interest income. We are pleased, as we face this challenging market environment, to have growing fee income businesses and to have maintained very good trends in asset quality." 4 Net interest income decreased 3.9% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of a narrowing net interest margin. Rising short-term interest rates have contributed to increases in funding costs, while a flat yield curve has constrained the yields of our longer-term earning assets. The net interest margin declined from 4.15% in the second quarter of 2005, to 3.83% in the second quarter of 2006. Partially offsetting the impact of the narrowing net interest margin was growth in average earning assets, which increased $85.4 million, or 4.5%, in the second quarter of 2006 over the same period in 2005. Average loans for the second quarter 2006 increased 3.3% over the comparable period in 2005 to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2006. Growth in average loans is net of the securitization of $32.0 million of residential mortgage loans in June 2006. These residential loans were packaged into mortgage-backed securities and are now held in the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio. For the year-to-date period, net interest income was down 1.2%, while the net interest margin decreased to 3.92% for the first six months of 2006, from 4.16% for the first six months of 2005. Asset quality continues to be strong. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings, and other real estate owned, were $4.1 million at June 30, 2006, down from $6.1 million at June 30, 2005. As a percentage of total assets, the level of nonperforming assets declined from 0.30% at June 30, 2005, to 0.19% at June 30, 2006. Net charge-offs of loans during the second quarter of 2006 were $167,000 compared with $651,000 in the year-earlier period. For the year-to-date-period 2006, net charge-offs were $500,000, down from $732,000 for the comparable period in 2005. Improvement in asset quality trends, along with the lower level of net charge-offs, resulted in a lower provision expense for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 compared to comparable prior year periods. Deposit growth continues to provide funding for growth in earning assets. Total deposits at June 30, 2006 were $1.6 billion, an increase of $56.4 million or 3.5% from the same period last year. Deposit growth was concentrated in time deposits of $100,000 or more, which were up $57.8 million and noninterest-bearing deposits, which were up $15.4 million. Savings and money 5 market deposit accounts were down $19.3 million, as some deposits migrated to higher yielding time deposits. The Company also uses wholesale funding such as borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to support asset growth. At June 30, 2006, these wholesale funding sources amounted to $283.4 million, up from $251.4 million at June 30, 2005. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2006 was $10.1 million, an increase of 32.6% from the same period in 2005. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2006 was $19.0 million, up 31.9% from the first six months of 2005. Contributing to the increase in both the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods were growth in investment services fees and insurance commissions and fees, both of which benefited from the first quarter acquisition of AM&M Financial Services, Inc. (AM&M). Noninterest income also benefited from growth in service charges on deposit accounts and proceeds from excess death benefit on life insurance. Noninterest expenses were $18.5 million for the second quarter, up 20.5% over the same period in 2005. Noninterest expense in the first six months of 2006 totaled $36.4 million, an increase of 19.1% over the year earlier period. The increase in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2006 was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits related expenses. Contributing to the increase in noninterest expense is the acquisition of AM&M, the expensing of stock options, insurance agency acquisitions, corporate donations, and recent expansion of retail brokerage services. Also adding to expense growth were the recent additions of two new banking offices, the Southeast Office of Mahopac National Bank opened March 2006 and the Greece Office of The Bank of Castile opened July 2006. Mr. Byrnes commented, "the expansion of our branch network and continued investments in our related financial services businesses are key components of our corporate strategy and are especially important in this challenging interest rate environment. During the second quarter of 2006, Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. acquired certain assets of Potter Enterprises of WNY, Inc., and on July 1, 2006, we acquired the Kemp Agency." 6 Mr. Byrnes noted, "that the Company lost a great leader and friend during the quarter with the passing of Tompkins Trust Company CEO Stephen E. Garner. Steve was an inspirational leader and a strong advocate of our corporate strategy. As previously reported, I have assumed Steve's role of CEO of Tompkins Trust Company as we plan for a successor."
