BUSINESS Tompkins County Trustco, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding company, organized under the laws of New York State. On April 26, 1995, the shareholders of Tompkins County Trust Company (the "Trust Company" or the "Bank") approved a proposal to revise its corporate structure by establishing the Company as a one bank holding company. On January 1, 1996, the Trust Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and all issued and outstanding shares of Trust Company common stock were converted to shares of the Company's common stock. The holding company formation was accounted for similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the financial information included herein combines the results of operations, and the assets, liabilities, and shareholders equity of the Company and the Trust Company for all periods presented. The Trust Company traces its charter back to 1836 and provides loan, deposit, and trust and investment services to its customers primarily in Tompkins County, New York, and surrounding areas. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of condition and statements of income and expenses for the period. Actual amounts could differ from estimates. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1997. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency in reporting. 3. STOCK SPLIT On February 10, 1998, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a dividend (the "Stock Split"), payable on March 15, 1998, to shareholders of record on March 1, 1998. The Split increased the number of shares outstanding by 1,630,635 shares. The transaction had no effect on the par value of shares outstanding or on the number of shares authorized. All share and per share data in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split. 4. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM In November 1996, the board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, which authorizes the repurchase of up to $3 million in common stock of the Company in open market transactions. As of September 30, 1998, no open market transactions have been completed under this program. On May 14, 1997, the Company repurchased 120,000 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction. The shares, which have been returned to the status of authorized and unissued, were purchased at $22.25 per share, for a total purchase price of $2.67 million. 5. SECURITIES As of September 30, 1998, net unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale totaled $3.7 million, resulting in an after tax increase to shareholders' equity of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 1997, available-for-sale securities had net unrealized gains of $1.9 million, resulting in an after tax shareholders' equity capital increase of $1.1 million. 7 6. LOANS/LEASES The Company's recorded investment in loans/leases considered impaired was $1.1 million on September 30, 1998, and the average recorded investment in impaired loans/leases was $1.1 million through the first nine months of 1998. Included in this amount was $245,000 of impaired loans/leases for which related reserves totaled $134,000. The recorded investment in impaired loans/leases as of December 31, 1997, was $1.4 million. The December 31, 1997 amount includes $806,000 of impaired loans/leases which had related reserves of $329,000. The effect on interest income from impaired loans/leases was not material during the first nine months of 1998. 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE On December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which requires dual presentation of "Basic EPS" and "Diluted EPS" on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. All prior period EPS data has been restated to conform to the provisions of this statement. A computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the nine month periods ending September 30, 1998 and 1997, is presented in the table below.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 125, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, which relate to accounting for securities lending, repurchase agreements, and other secured financing activities. These provisions did not have a material impact on the Company. On January 1, 1998 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. This Statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income includes the reported net income of a company, adjusted for items that are currently accounted for as direct entries to equity. These items may include mark-to-market adjustments on securities available-for-sale, foreign currency items, and minimum pension liability adjustments. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income plus other comprehensive income. 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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is summarized in the table below: (In thousands) QUARTER ENDED YEAR TO DATE - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09/30/98 09/30/97 09/30/98 09/30/97 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME $2,991 $2,601 $8,395 $7,496 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized holding gains or losses 1,978 1,463 1,730 1,105 Reclassification adjustment for realized gain (loss) on sale of available-for-sale securities 23 (41) (72) (85) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the period 1,955 1,504 1,802 1,190 Deferred taxes on unrealized holding gains (losses) (822) (631) (758) (500) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other comprehensive income, net of tax 1,133 873 1,044 690 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME $4,124 $3,474 $9,439 $8,186 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS No. 131 requires publicly held companies to report financial and other information about key revenue-producing segments of the entity for which such information is available and is utilized by the chief operation decision maker. Specific information to be reported for individual segments includes profit or loss, certain revenue and expense items, and total assets. A reconciliation of segment financial information to amounts reported in the financial statements would be provided. The new accounting standard is not expected to result in significant changes to the company's reporting. In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 132, EMPLOYER'S DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS. This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension and other post retirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of these plans. This Statement is effective for the Company in 1998 and will have no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This statement establishes comprehensive accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The statement requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with instruments measured at fair value. The recognition of accounting gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged. This statement is effective for the Company for all fiscal quarters beginning after January 1, 2000; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements. 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Tompkins County Trustco, Inc. is the parent company of Tompkins County Trust Company. The Trust Company is an independent community bank whose primary service area is Tompkins County, New York. Through the Bank, the Company provides a full range of financial services including: deposits, trust and investment services, commercial lending, consumer lending, residential mortgage lending, cash management, and electronic banking. In February 1998, the Trust Company formed a subsidiary corporation, Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc., which was formed to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc. became an active subsidiary of the Trust Company on June 1, 1998. The following discussion is intended to provide the reader with a further understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Tompkins County Trustco, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries. It should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1997, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $3.0 million, compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 1997. Basic earnings per share in the third quarter of 1998 increased by 14.5% to $0.62, compared to $0.54 in the third quarter of 1997. On a diluted basis, earnings per share increased to $0.60 per share in the third quarter of 1998, compared to $0.53 for the same period in 1997. Year to date net income through the first nine months of 1998 was $8.4 million, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 1997. Year to date basic earnings per share of $1.73 represents a 13% increase over the same period in 1997. Year to date diluted earnings per share of $1.70 reflects an 12% increase over the prior year. The significant improvement in per share earnings through the first nine months of 1998 was achieved primarily through 12% growth in net income, and benefited from a 1% decline in the basic average shares outstanding. The reduction in average shares outstanding is the result of a privately negotiated transaction in which the Company repurchased 120,000 common shares in May of 1997. The Company's return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.74% through the first nine months of 1998, compared to 1.64% for the same period in 1997. Return on average shareholders' equity (ROAE) for the first nine months of 1998 was 18.94%, compared to 18.97% for the same period in 1997. Improvement in ROAA reflects the strong earnings growth through the first half of 1998, which exceeded average total asset growth of 6%. The modest decline in ROAE is the result of 12% growth in average equity between September 1998 and September 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME As reflected in the attached Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis, the Company earned tax-equivalent net interest income of $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 1997. The improvement in net interest income is attributable to growth in the Company's earnings assets, which helped offset a modest decline in net interest margin. The Company has also enhanced its cash management practices in 1998, which has resulted in a greater percentage of total assets being comprised of earning assets. Average earning assets grew by $36.7 million between September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1998. Growth in average earnings assets was centered in the securities portfolio, residential real estate loans, and commercial real estate loans. Growth was supported by a $21.9 million increase in average core deposits (noninterest bearing deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits of less than $100,000), and a $6.9 million increase in average non-core funding (Time deposits of $100,000 and more, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other borrowings), and $6.4 million growth in average shareholders' equity. The tax-equivalent net interest margin on earning assets was 4.78% through the first nine months of 1998, compared to a 4.83% ratio through the first nine months of 1997. Yield on earning assets declined from 8.29% as of September 30, 1997, to 8.16% as of September 30, 1998. The decline in asset yields is reflective of the general downward trending of interest rates over the periods presented. 11 The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 4.23% in the first nine months of 1998, compared to 4.26% in the first nine months of 1997. Despite the decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, the cost of interest bearing deposits increased, reflecting the competitive environment for deposits in the Company's market area. The increased cost of interest bearing deposits was partially offset by an $8.6 million increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. Noninterest bearing liabilities contributed 86 basis points to the Company's net interest margin in the first nine months of 1998, compared to 80 basis points for the same period in 1997. PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES The provision represents management's estimate of the expense necessary to maintain the reserve for loan/lease losses at an adequate level. The provision of $779,000 for the first nine months of 1998 represents a 6% decline from the $830,000 provision in the first nine months of 1997. The decline in the year to date provision is reflective of a lower level of loan/lease losses in the current period, and management's estimates of the reserves necessary given the overall quality of the portfolio, growth expectations, and general economic conditions. For the third quarter of 1998, the provision was $298,000 compared to $263,000 for the same period in 1997. OTHER INCOME Other income continues to be a key source of revenue growth for the Company. Total other income for the first nine months of 1998 totaled $7.6 million, an increase of 17% from the prior year. Other income for the third quarter of 1998 was $2.6 million, an increase of 15% from the third quarter of 1997. Other income as a percentage of average assets increased from 1.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 1.57% for the same period in 1998. Income from trust and investment services, the largest segment of other income, increased 28% to $3.0 million, compared to $2.3 million the first nine months of 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to continued asset growth in the Trust and Investment Services Division. Total assets managed by, or in custody of, the Trust and Investment Services Division were $896 million on September 30, 1998, representing a $120 million increase from September 30, 1997. Assets in the custody of the Trust and Investment Services Division included a portion of the Trust Company's securities portfolio, with a market value of $146 million on September 30, 1998, and $129 million on September 30, 1997. In 1997, the Trust and Investment Services Division formed an alliance with another community bank. Through this alliance, the Company provides servicing and administrative support to the trust department of the other bank. Due to the success of this alliance, which has resulted in nearly $10 million in new assets under management, the Company anticipates expanding this service to additional banks. A second alliance was formed in the third quarter of 1998, with Hudson Valley Bank in Westchester County, New York. Credit card merchant fee income of $1.8 million through the first nine months of 1998 represents a 5% increase from the same period in 1997. Growth in merchant fee income is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Trust Company merchant customers. Other service charges increased 33%, from $1.0 million for the first nine months of 1997, to $1.4 million for the same period in 1998. Growth in other service charges reflects the Company's continued efforts to generate income from noninterest related sources, and includes fees related to debit card usage, ATM fees, sales of non-deposit investment products, wire transfer services, and lockbox services, all of which reflected increases over the same period in the previous year. Service charges on deposit accounts of $1.2 million represents a 7% decline from the previous year, and is reflective of an increased number of customers taking advantage of lower fee deposit products. Total other income was reduced by losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $72,000 in 1998, and $85,000 in 1997. Other income in 1998 also included a $95,000 gain on the sale of approximately $6 million in student loans in the second quarter of 1998. OTHER EXPENSE Total other expenses increased 7% in the first nine months of 1998 to $15.1 million, compared to $14.1 million in 1997. Salary and wages remains the largest segment of other expense, comprising 42% of other expenses for the period ended September 30, 1998, which is comparable to the same period in 1997. Total salary and wage expense of $6.3 million in the first nine months of 1998, represents a 6% increase from the prior year. 12 Credit card operating expense is a variable expense that increases as the volume of merchant and card holder transactions increases. The 5% increase in credit card operating expenses during the first nine months of 1998 is primarily due to an increased volume of merchant customer transactions. Year to date other operating expenses increased from $3.4 million in 1997, to $4.0 million in 1998. Included in other operating expenses is approximately $160,000 relating to consulting contracts initiated in the first quarter of 1998. These consulting contracts were entered into to enhance the ability of employees to meet the needs of customers through improved sales and service techniques and more efficient use of the Company's existing technology. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter declined from 34.8% in 1997, to 32.3% in 1998. The decline in the effective tax rate reflects certain state tax benefits that have accrued to the Company as a result of the formation of Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc. Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins County Trust Company, which became active on June 1, 1998. The corporation has been formed to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's total assets were $653.3 million as of September 30, 1998, representing a 4% increase over total assets reported as of December 31, 1997. Growth was primarily in the loan and lease portfolio, which increased by $16.0 million in the first nine months of 1998, while the securities portfolio grew by approximately $9.9 million (including market value adjustments on available-for-sale securities). Other assets grew by $6.2 million in the first nine month of 1998, primarily as a result of the purchase of $5 million in corporate owned life insurance, covering various officers of the corporation. The purchase of this insurance provides benefits to both the Company and the covered employees. Future increases in the cash surrender value of the insurance will be reflected in other operating income. Asset growth was funded through a combination of growth in other borrowings and equity capital. CAPITAL Total shareholders' equity grew by 11% during the first nine months of 1998 to $63.4 million. Cash dividends paid in the first half of 1998 totaled approximately $3.2 million, representing 38.4% of year to date earnings. Per share cash dividends of $0.67 for the first nine months of 1998, represents an 9.8% increase over cash dividends paid in 1997. The Company and the Trust Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Management believes the Company and the Trust Company meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The table below reflects the Company's capital position at September 30, 1998, compared to the regulatory capital requirements for "well capitalized" institutions. REGULATORY CAPITAL ANALYSIS - September 30, 1998 ============================================================================================================================= ACTUAL WELL CAPITALIZED REQUIREMENT (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Capital (to risk weighted assets) $65,734 17.0% $38,663 10.0% Tier I Capital (to risk weighted assets) $60,899 15.8% $23,198 6.0% Tier I Capital (to average assets) $60,899 9.4% $32,391 5.0% ============================================================================================================================= As illustrated above, the Company's capital ratios on September 30, 1998 remain well above the minimum requirement for well capitalized institutions. The ratios show continued improvement from the levels reported at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's Total Capital as a percentage of Risk Weighted assets was 16.4%; Tier I Capital to risk weighted assets was 15.1%; and Tier I Capital to average assets was 8.9%. 13 RESERVE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS Management reviews the adequacy of the reserve for loan and lease losses in a detailed and ongoing basis, giving consideration to various risk elements that may affect losses in the loan portfolio. Based upon management's review, the current reserve of $5.0 million is believed to be adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios. Activity in the Company's reserve for loan and lease losses during the first nine months of 1998 and 1997 is illustrated in the table below. ANALYSIS OF THE RESERVE FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES (In thousands) ============================================================================================================ SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Average Loans and Leases Outstanding Year to Date $382,648 $358,085 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beginning Balance 4,979 4,779 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Provision for loan losses 778 830 Loans charged off (1,057) (1,053) Loan recoveries 316 373 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Charge-offs (741) (680) ============================================================================================================ Ending Balance $5,016 $4,929 ============================================================================================================ Annualized net charge-offs through the first nine months of 1998 amounted to 0.26% of average loans outstanding during the period. This ratio compares to 0.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The level of nonperforming assets, as illustrated in the table below, reflects an improving trend from the prior year. Over 90% of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1998 are secured by real estate, with 55% secured by 1-4 family residential properties. NONPERFORMING ASSETS (In thousands) ============================================================================================================ SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonaccrual loans $1,787 $1,763 Loans past due 90 days and accruing 0 55 Troubled debt restructuring not included above 0 0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total nonperforming loans 1,787 1,818 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other real estate, net of allowances 124 137 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total nonperforming assets $1,911 $1,955 ============================================================================================================ Total nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans 0.45% 0.49% Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets 0.29% 0.31% ============================================================================================================ DEPOSITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES Total deposits were $473.0 million on September 30, 1998, compared to $476.7 million in total deposits on December 31, 1997. Core deposits, which include demand deposits, savings and money market accounts, and time deposits of less than $100,000 represent the primary funding source for the Company. As of September 30, 1998, core deposits of $387.1 million represented 65.6% of total liabilities. This compares to core deposits of $379.7 million, representing 66.6% of total liabilities on December 31, 1997. The Company uses large time deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, and other borrowings as additional funding sources. Time Deposits of $100,000 and over decreased from $97.0 million on December 31, 1997, to $85.8 million on September 30, 1998. As of September 30, 1998, total securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $60.8 million, compared to $58.0 million at December 31, 1997. Other borrowings, consisting of term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, increased from $27.0 million on December 31, 1997, to $47.0 on September 30, 1998. 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. 14 Cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million as of September 30, 1998 reflects a decline of $5.5 million from December 31, 1997. A portion of this decline is the result of improved cash management practices, which were implemented in January 1998 to reduce the level of noninterest bearing balances required to be maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank. Short term investments consisting of securities due in one year or less declined from $28.3 million on December 31, 1997, to $24.7 million on September 30, 1998. Securities pledged to secure certain large deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements were 83.2% of total securities as of September 30, 1998, compared to 76% as of December 31, 1997. Additional liquidity is provided through the Trust Company's Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) membership. As of September 30, 1998, the Trust Company had approximately $57.2 million in unused borrowing capacity through established lines of credit with the FHLB. The Trust Company's equity investment in Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc. of $204 million can be used to secure additional borrowings from the FHLB. YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS The Company uses purchased software products for all of its internal transaction processing applications; therefore, no significant internal programming is necessary to prepare these systems to handle transactions in the Year 2000. The majority of the Company's efforts in preparation for Year 2000 processing relate to testing purchased and outsourced processing systems, as well as updating databases. Management has initiated an enterprise-wide program, consistent with guidelines issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), to prepare the Company's computer systems and software applications for the Year 2000. The program includes the following phases: o Identification (Completed) o Assessment (Completed) o Remediation (In process) o Testing (In process) o Contingency Planning (In process) The identification phase involved identifying the types of risk exposures related to Year 2000. Through this process the Company identified specific risk exposures related to internal information technologies, information service providers, other service providers, and customers. As part of the assessment phase, the Company has categorized its information technology systems as Mission Critical, Mission Important, or Important. The Company has assessed the Year 2000 readiness of each information technology system and has established a plan for remediating any known Year 2000 problems. 15 The Company's primary application, which handles processing of loans, deposits, safe deposit, and general ledger, has been designated as Year 2000 compliant by the vendor. The vendor has also provided the Company with test results performed by an independent contractor that has also designated the system as Year 2000 compliant. Of the remaining systems that have been categorized as Mission Critical or Mission Important, approximately 40% have been designated as Year 2000 compliant. Based upon the most recent communications with vendors and service providers, management expects that remediation of all Mission Critical and Mission Important systems will be completed by December 31, 1998. As previously indicated, the Company's primary application has been independently tested. Due to the importance of this application to the Company's operations, management plans to conduct its own tests this system in the fourth quarter of 1998. Testing is also in process on several other systems, and it is expected that testing of all Mission Critical and Mission Important systems will be completed by the first quarter of 1999. The Company is formulating a contingency plan for business continuation in the event of Year 2000 system failures. This contingency plan will be based upon the Company's existing disaster recovery plan, with modifications for Year 2000 risks. The Company expects the Year 2000 contingency plan to be completed by March 1999. As part of the process of evaluating and attempting to mitigate third party risk, the Company is collecting and analyzing Year 2000 information from third parties who have significant business relationships with the Company. These third parties include borrowers, obligors, and vendors. It is difficult predict the effect of third party non-readiness on the business of the Company. Significant Year 2000 failures in the Company's systems, or in the systems of third parties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that its reasonably likely worst case scenario might include a material increase in credit losses due to Year 2000 problems of borrowers and a disruption in financial markets causing liquidity stress to the Company. The magnitude of potential credit losses or a disruption in financial markets cannot be determined at this time; however, the Year 2000 program described above is designed to reduce exposure to these risks. The total cost of the Company's Year 2000 project is expected to be $200,000, of which approximately $125,000 has been incurred as of September 30, 1998. This amount includes the costs of additional hardware, software, and technology consultants, as well as the cost of the Company's information technology professionals dedicated to achieving Year 2000 compliance. A significant portion of these costs are not incremental, but rather involve redeployment of existing personnel related information technology resources. The Company has included the cost of the Year 2000 project in its operating budget and management does not expect that this will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report may include forward-looking statements with respect to revenue sources, growth, market risk, corporate objectives, and Year 2000. The Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements, and cautions that these statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risk, and uncertainties, all of which could change over time. Actual results could differ materially from forward-looking statements. 16 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest rate sensitivity 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. Each month 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 decision of the Company. The Company's September 30, 1998, one-year cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a negative 10% of total assets. This suggests earnings would benefit from a declining interest rate environment, and would be vulnerable to a rising interest rate environment. Management estimates that a 200 basis point rise in interest rates over a one year period would result in a 3% decline in net interest income, assuming no management actions to reposition the balance sheet in reaction to a changing rate environment. Management believes the current interest rate risk exposure is not material given the Company's current level of earnings and capital. 17 TOMPKINS COUNTY TRUSTCO, INC.
