ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Tompkins  Trustco,  Inc. is the parent company of Tompkins County Trust Company.
The Trust  Company,  which  traces its charter back to 1836,  is an  independent
community  bank whose primary  service area is Tompkins  County,  New York,  and
surrounding  areas.  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.

The  following  discussion  is  intended  to provide  the reader  with a further
understanding of the consolidated  financial condition and results of operations
of Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and its operating  subsidiaries.  It should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  1998 Form 10-K and related  notes for the year
ended December 31, 1998, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes included elsewhere in this report.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In November 1996,  the board of directors  approved a stock  repurchase  program
(the  "Program"),  which  authorizes  the  repurchase of up to $3 million of the
Company's  common  stock in open market  transactions.  During the first half of
1999, the Company  repurchased 14,055 shares under the Program for $471,000,  or
$33.51 per share.  Since  inception,  the Company has repurchased  19,093 shares
under the program for a total cost of $640,000.

The  Company  repurchased  41,000  shares  in the  second  quarter  of 1999 in a
privately negotiated transaction.  The shares were repurchased at a cost of $1.4
million,  or $33.25 per share. In December 1998, the Company  repurchased 12,207
shares in a  privately  negotiated  transaction.  The shares were  purchased  at
$34.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $415,000. All of the shares from
the repurchase  transactions described above have been returned to the status of
authorized but unissued.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the second  quarter of 1999 was $3.0  million,  compared  to $2.7
million for the second  quarter of 1998.  Basic earnings per share in the second
quarter of 1999  increased  by 10.7% to $0.62,  compared  to $0.56 in the second
quarter of 1998. On a diluted basis,  earnings per share  increased to $0.61 per
share in the second  quarter of 1999,  compared  to $0.55 for the same period in
1998. Net income for the year to date was $6.0 million,  up 10.5% over the first
six months of 1998.  Diluted  earnings  per share for the first half of 1999 was
$1.21, reflecting a 10% increase over the same period in 1998.

The  Company's  return on average  assets (ROAA) was 1.77% through the first six
months of 1999, compared to 1.69% for the same period in 1998. Return on average
shareholders'  equity  (ROAE)  for the  first  six  months  of 1999 was  18.44%,
compared to 18.66% for the same period in 1998. Improvement in ROAA reflects the
strong earnings growth in the first half of 1999,  which exceeded  average asset
growth of 5% between June 1999 and June 1998.  The modest decline in ROAE is the
result of 12% growth in average equity, which outpaced growth in net income.

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 $14.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  compared to $14.6  million for the same
period in 1998.  The  tax-equivalent  net interest  margin on earning assets was
4.66%  through the first six months of 1999,  compared to a 4.80% ratio  through
the first six months of 1998.  Yield on earning assets declined from 8.19% as of
June 30,  1998,  to 7.83% as of June 30,  1999.  The decline in asset  yields is
reflective of the general  downward  trending of interest rates over the periods
presented.

The cost of interest  bearing  liabilities  was 3.91% in the first six months of
1999,  compared  to 4.24%  for the same  period  in  1998.  Noninterest  bearing
liabilities  contributed 75 basis points to the Company's net interest margin in
the first six months of 1999, compared to 85 basis points for the same period in
1998.

                                       9


Despite a decline in the  Company's  net interest  margin,  net interest  income
continues to rise due to growth in the  Company's  earning  asset base.  Average
earning  assets grew by $22.2  million  between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998.
Growth in average earning assets was centered in residential  real estate loans,
which grew by $19.9  million,  and commercial  real estate loans,  which grew by
$7.1 million.

Earning  asset  growth  from  June 1998 to June  1999 was  supported  by an $8.7
million increase in average core deposits (noninterest bearing deposits, savings
and money market  deposits,  and time deposits of less than $100,000),  an $18.6
million  increase in average  non-core  funding  (Time  deposits of $100,000 and
more,  Federal funds purchased,  securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
and other borrowings), and $6.9 million growth in average shareholders' equity.

A decline in average  securities from June 1998 to June 1999 corresponds with an
increase in other assets over the same period. Growth in other assets is largely
attributable  to an $12.3 million  investment in corporate owned life insurance.
The corporate  owned life  insurance  was  purchased  primarily in the third and
fourth  quarters of 1998, and covers several senior  officers of the Company and
the Trust Company.  The insurance  provides benefits to both the Company and the
covered  employees.  Increases in the cash surrender  value of the insurance are
reflected  as other  operating  income,  and the  related  mortality  expense is
recognized as an other operating  expense.  Although income  associated with the
insurance  policies is not  included in interest  income,  increases in the cash
surrender value are expected to produce a tax-adjusted  return of  approximately
8.6% in 1999.  Income from  corporate  owned life  insurance was $350,000 in the
first half of 1999.

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 $224,000  for the first six months of 1999  represents a 51% decline from the
$481,000  provision in the first six months of 1998.  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
inherent risk of loss in the portfolio.

OTHER INCOME
Other income growth remains a key strategic objective of the Company, as a means
of developing  diversified sources of revenue.  Total other income for the first
six months of 1999 totaled $5.8 million, an increase of 15% from the prior year.
Other income as a percentage of average assets  increased from 1.56% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 1.70% for the same period in 1999. Other
income for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999,  was up 21% over the same period in
1998.

Income from trust and investment services,  the largest segment of other income,
increased 17% to $2.2 million, compared to $1.9 million for the first six months
of 1998.  Total  assets  managed by, or in custody of, the Trust and  Investment
Services  Division  exceeded  $1  billion  for the first  time in the  Company's
history, with $1,002 million under management as of June 30, 1999. Income growth
from trust and investment services is primarily attributable to growth in assets
managed by, or in custody of the Division,  which  increased by $60 million from
June 30,  1998.  Assets in the  custody  of the Trust  and  Investment  Services
Division include a portion of the Trust Company's securities  portfolio,  with a
market  value of $132  million on June 30,  1999,  and $159  million on June 30,
1998.

                                       10


The Trust and Investment  Services Division is an important  component of future
revenue growth of the Company. Although the division primarily provides services
to customers in the Bank's market area of Tompkins County and surrounding areas,
the division  currently  manages  assets for clients in more than 40 states.  In
1997,  the  Company  expanded  the reach of the Trust  and  Investment  Services
Division by offering trust and investment  services  through a "Trust  Alliance"
program. Through this program, the Company provides servicing and administrative
support to trust departments of other banks.  Currently,  the Company has formed
Trust  Alliances with two community  banks,  which have assets under  management
totaling $30.3 million.  The Company will add a third bank to the Trust Alliance
program  in the  third  quarter  of  1999.  The Dime  Bank,  a  commercial  bank
headquartered  in  Honesdale,   Pennsylvania   will  bring  its  existing  Trust
Department into the program beginning in July 1999.

Electronic  banking services and card products  continue to expand and provide a
growing source of other income.  Credit card merchant  income  contributed  $1.3
million to other income in the first half of 1999,  representing  an increase of
5% compared to the same period in 1998. Fees related to the Company's debit card
and credit card products  rose 25% in the first half of 1999,  to $348,000.  The
Company continues to expand its banking card services,  with the introduction of
a Visa  Purchasing Card in the second quarter of 1999.  Purchasing  Cards can be
used by  businesses to improve  controls and reduce  paperwork  associated  with
procurement of small dollar purchases. Purchasing Cards can be coded with a wide
variety  of  spending  controls  and allow for the  delivery  of  statements  in
electronic or paper format. The product will generate  additional revenue in the
form of interest income and fee income.

Service charges on deposit accounts of $831,000 for the first six months of 1999
remained relatively  unchanged from the $834,000 reported for the same period in
1998.  Growth in  service  charges on  deposit  accounts  has not kept pace with
growth in deposits in recent  quarters,  as customers  are  increasingly  taking
advantage of lower fee options in deposit products.

Other operating  income  increased by 68% to $482,000 in the first half of 1999.
The increase from 1998 to 1999 includes  $350,000  associated with the Company's
investment in corporate owned life insurance, as previously discussed under "Net
Interest Income".  Other operating income in 1998 was aided by a $96,000 gain on
the sale of student  loans,  which compares to a gain on sale of loans of $1,000
for the first six months of 1999.

OTHER EXPENSE
Total  other  expenses  increased  6% in the first  six  months of 1999 to $10.7
million, compared to $10.2 million in 1998. Salary and wages remains the largest
segment of other expense,  comprising 41% of other expenses for the period ended
June 30,  1999,  which is  relatively  unchanged  from the same  period in 1998.
Pension and employee  benefits expense  increased by 24% over the prior year, to
$1.2  million.  Pension and  employee  benefits  expense is heavily  affected by
actuarial calculations relating to the Company's pension plan, and may fluctuate
based upon those calculations.

Credit card operating  expense is a variable  expense that varies based upon the
volume of merchant and card holder transactions. The 13% increase in credit card
operating  expenses  during the first six months of 1999 is primarily  due to an
increased volume of merchant customer transactions. Year to date other operating
expenses  have  increased a modest 3% from $2.7 million in 1998, to $2.8 million
in 1999.

INCOME TAXES
The  provision  for income taxes  provides for Federal and New York State income
taxes. The provision for the first six months of 1999 was $3.0 million.  Despite
an  increased  level of pretax net income,  the  provision  for income taxes was
relatively  unchanged  from the prior year,  as the  effective  tax rate for the
first six months of 1999 was  33.3%,  compared  to 35.5% for the same  period in
1998.

                                       11


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets were $686.9 million as of June 30, 1999, representing
a 2% increase  over total assets  reported as of December  31, 1998.  Growth was
primarily in the loan and lease  portfolio,  which increased by $17.0 million in
the first  six  months  of 1999.  Investments,  including  Federal  funds  sold,
decreased by $7.5 million (net of market value adjustments on available-for-sale
securities) in the first half of 1999, while  noninterest  bearing cash balances
increased by $5.6 million. Asset growth was funded through a combination of core
deposit growth and short term borrowings in the form of Federal funds purchased.

CAPITAL
Total shareholders' equity declined by 2% during the first six months of 1999 to
$62.4  million.  Contributing  to  the  decline  in  shareholders'  equity  were
approximately $1.9 million of common stock repurchased by the Company during the
first  half  of  1999,  and  a  $3.4  million   decline  in  accumulated   other
comprehensive  income.  The decline in accumulated other  comprehensive  income,
which  represents  the change in net  unrealized  gain or loss in the  Company's
available-for-sale securities portfolio, reflects the market depreciation in the
portfolio caused by rising interest rates during the first half of 1999.

Cash  dividends  paid  in the  first  half of 1999  totaled  approximately  $2.4
million,  representing 40.7% of year to date earnings.  Per share cash dividends
of $0.50 for the first six months of 1999,  represents a 16% increase  over cash
dividends paid in the first six months of 1998.

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
June 30,  1999,  compared  to the  regulatory  capital  requirements  for  "well
capitalized" institutions.

As illustrated above, the Company's capital ratios on June 30, 1999, remain well
above the minimum requirement for well capitalized institutions. The ratios show
continued  improvement  from the levels  reported at December  31,  1998.  As of
December 31, 1998, the Company's  Total Capital as a percentage of risk weighted
assets was 17.1%;  Tier I Capital to risk weighted assets was 15.9%;  and Tier I
Capital to average assets was 9.7%.

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 $5.1  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  six  months  of 1999  and  1998 is
illustrated in the table below.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Total deposits were $487.7 million on June 30, 1999,  compared to $492.8 million
on December 31, 1998. 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 June 30, 1999,  core deposits of
$402.3 million  represented  64.4% of total  liabilities.  This compares to core
deposits of $385.9 million,  representing 65.5% of total liabilities on December
31, 1998.

The  Company  uses  large  time  deposits,   securities  sold  under  repurchase
agreements,  Federal funds purchased, and other borrowings as additional funding
sources.  As of June 30,  1999,  time  deposits of $100,000  and over were $85.5
million,  down from $106.9 million at year end. Securities sold under agreements
to repurchase  and Federal funds  purchased were $80.8 million on June 30, 1999,
representing an increase of approximately  $20.8 million from December 31, 1998.
Other borrowings, consisting of term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank,
were unchanged at $45 million.

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  of $22.7  million  as of June 30,  1999  reflects  a
decline  of  $4.0  million  from  December  31,  1998.  Short  term  investments
consisting  of debt  securities  due in one  year or less  declined  from  $21.6
million on December 31,  1998,  to $19.5  million on June 30,  1999.  Securities
pledged to secure certain large deposits and  securities  sold under  repurchase
agreements were 78.4% of total securities as of June 30, 1999, compared to 84.1%
as of December 31, 1998.

Additional  liquidity is provided through the Trust Company's  Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) membership. As of June 30, 1999, the Trust Company had approximately
$44.8 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 $207 million can be used to secure additional borrowings from
the FHLB.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
The Company has been preparing for Year 2000 since 1997 and is pleased to report
that as of June 30, 1999,  all  significant  systems are Year 2000 certified and
testing has been completed. The Company uses purchased software products for all
of its internal transaction processing  applications;  therefore, no significant
internal   programming   was  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 related to testing purchased and outsourced
processing systems, as well as updating databases.

Management  initiated a Year 2000 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 included the following  phases,  all of which have been completed as
of June 30, 1999:

     o        Identification
     o        Assessment
     o        Remediation
     o        Testing
     o        Contingency Planning

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  categorized  its  information
technology  systems as Mission Critical,  Mission Important,  or Important.  The
Company assessed the Year 2000 readiness of each information  technology  system
and established a plan for remediating any known Year 2000 problems.

The Company's primary application,  which handles processing of loans, deposits,
and general  ledger,  has been  designated as Year 2000 compliant by the vendor.
The  vendor,  which has  contracts  with  approximately  1,000  banks,  has also
provided the Company with test results  performed by an  independent  contractor
that  has  also  designated  the  system  as  Year  2000  compliant.  Due to the
importance of this application to the Company's operations, management conducted
its own tests of this system in the fourth  quarter of 1998,  with  satisfactory
results.  All other  mission  critical and mission  important  systems have been
remediated,  tested, and certified as Year 2000 compliant.  Testing continues on
several  other  systems  that are not  considered  Mission  Critical  or Mission
Important.

The Company has formulated a contingency  plan for business  continuation in the
event  of Year  2000  system  failures.  This  contingency  plan is based on the
Company's  existing  disaster  recovery plan, with  modifications  for Year 2000
risks.

As part of the process of  evaluating  and  attempting  to mitigate  third party
risk,  the Company has collected and analyzed Year 2000  information  from third
parties who have  significant  business  relationships  with the Company.  These
third parties include borrowers,  obligors, and vendors. Through this evaluation
process,  the Company is aware of no issues that would significantly  affect the
Company's ability to conduct business as usual during and after the century date
change.

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. In any event, the
strong  capital  position,  earnings  strength and  liquidity of the Company are
believed to be more than adequate to withstand any reasonably  likely worst case
scenario.

                                       14



The total cost of the Company's  Year 2000 project was  approximately  $200,000,
the  majority of which was incurred in 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.  Management  does not  expect  to incur  any  significant
additional  expense  related to the Company's Year 2000 project in the remainder
of 1999.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Portions of this document may constitute "forward looking statements" as defined
by federal law.  Although the Company  believes any such statements are based on
reasonable  assumptions,  there is no assurance that actual outcomes will not be
materially  different.  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.

                                       15



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 June 30, 1999,  one-year  cumulative  rate  sensitivity  gap was a
negative  12% 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 4%  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.
