For Immediate Release

Wednesday, April 25, 2007


   Tompkins Trustco, Inc. reports first quarter earnings and announces early
                              adoption of SFAS 159

ITHACA, NY - Tompkins Trustco, Inc. (TMP - American Stock Exchange)

Tompkins Trustco, Inc. reported diluted earnings per share of $0.58 for the
first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 7.9% from the $0.63 per share reported in
the same quarter of 2006. Net income of $5.8 million for the first quarter of
2007, down 9.6% from the $6.4 million reported for the first quarter of 2006.
Stephen S. Romaine, President and CEO stated, "Although the current interest
rate environment remains a significant challenge, management is committed to
optimizing long-term shareholder value by expanding our fee-based products and
services, increasing our focus on efficiency, growing loans and core deposits,
and maintaining strong asset quality."

The following significant highlights and events have impacted first quarter
results, or have occurred recently and will impact future periods:

         o        Net interest income of $17.6 million in the first quarter of
                  2007 was down 6.2% from the same quarter in 2006, primarily
                  due to higher deposit costs.

         o        The net interest margin was 3.55% in the first quarter of
                  2007, compared to 3.64% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and
                  4.02% in the first quarter of 2006.

         o        Despite the decline in net interest margin, total revenue
                  (consisting of net interest income and noninterest income) was
                  up 1.4% in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the same
                  period last year. Investment services and insurance revenues
                  were significant contributors to the increase over the first
                  quarter of 2006.

         o        Tompkins elected to adopt Statements of Financial Accounting
                  Standards ("SFAS") No. 159 and 157 effective January 1, 2007,
                  prior to the required effective date of each standard. The
                  Company elected the fair value measurement option for $65.9
                  million (at cost) of pre-existing securities within its
                  available-for-sale securities portfolio.

                                       4


         o        First quarter 2007 net income includes a pre-tax gain of
                  $452,000, representing the change in fair value of $62.2
                  million of securities measured under SFAS 159.

         o        Although the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on Total
                  Shareholders' Equity, the cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.5
                  million, representing the unrealized loss on these securities
                  (net of tax), was reclassified from Accumulated Other
                  Comprehensive Loss as a reduction of Retained Earnings, on
                  January 1, 2007.

         o        In April 2007, Tompkins initiated a securities portfolio
                  restructuring transaction whereby it sold approximately $62
                  million in securities that were carried in the Company's
                  trading portfolio subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159. The
                  Company expects to realize a pre-tax loss of approximately
                  $273,000 on the disposal of these securities in the second
                  quarter. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be reinvested
                  in higher-yielding securities that will also improve the
                  Company's liquidity and interest rate risk exposure position.
                  Substantially all of the reinvested proceeds will be carried
                  in the Company's trading portfolio.

         o        Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were up
                  6.6% over the prior year. Current period expenses were
                  impacted by business expansion initiatives, which included
                  insurance agency acquisitions, expansion of retail brokerage
                  services, and the expansion of banking offices.

         o        In the first quarter of 2007, the Company engaged a consulting
                  group to assist management in continuing to identify and
                  implement profit improvement initiatives designed to reduce
                  expenses and increase revenue. Management is encouraged by the
                  preliminary results of this effort and expects to begin
                  implementation in the second quarter. The overall financial
                  impact on second quarter results is expected to be modest, as
                  implementation expenses will largely offset profit improvement
                  gains during the quarter. Management expects these efforts to
                  begin having a positive impact on financial results in the
                  second half of 2007.

Total assets were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2007, up 3.1% over December 31,
2006, and up 6.9% over March 31, 2006. Asset growth over the past twelve months
included $80.6 million in total loans and leases, $49.6 million in total
securities, and $27.0 million in Federal funds sold. Nonperforming assets were
$7.7 million at March 31, 2007, up from $3.9 million a year ago. The increase is
mainly due to a $4.1 million commercial relationship that is 90% guaranteed by a
government agency. For the first quarter 2007, net charge-offs were $276,000,
down from $333,000 in the first quarter 2006.

Total deposits at March 31, 2007, were $1.8 billion, an increase of $106.5
million or 6.3% over March 31, 2006. The growth in deposits was primarily in
time deposits, which increased by $92.1 million or 14.0%. Savings and money
market deposits were up $20.4 million or 2.9% from March 31, 2006, while
noninterest-bearing deposits were down $6.1 million or 1.8%. Deposit growth
benefited from the opening of three banking offices in 2006, the Southeast
Office of Mahopac National Bank (March 2006), the Greece Office of The Bank of
Castile (July 2006), and the Wappingers Falls Office of Mahopac National Bank
(December 2006).

Net interest income of $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2007, was down 6.2%
from $18.7 million for the same quarter last year, and was down 2.3% from $18.0
million for the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease in net interest income was

                                       5


mainly due to higher funding costs, which were partially offset by improved loan
and investment yields. The net interest margin was 3.55% in the first quarter of
2007, compared to 3.64% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and 4.02% in the first
quarter of 2006.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2007 was $10.5 million, up 17.5%
from the same period in 2006. Insurance commissions and fees and investment
services income accounted for the majority of the growth in noninterest income.
Insurance commissions and fees benefited from the acquisition of four insurance
agencies in 2006, while investment services income benefited from the expansion
of retail brokerage services in early 2006 and new account generation.
Noninterest income also includes a $452,000 pre-tax gain on trading securities
subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159.

Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were $19.1 million, an
increase of 6.6% over the prior year. The increase in the first quarter was
primarily in compensation and benefits related expenses and premises and fixed
asset expenses, which were impacted by business expansion initiatives that
included insurance agency acquisitions, expansion of retail brokerage services,
and the expansion of banking offices. In addition to the banking offices
mentioned above, we opened a Tompkins Financial Center office in the Village of
Cayuga Heights, New York. This office caters to customer needs for mortgage,
investments, financial planning, and insurance services.
