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")  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 combine 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  services to its
customers primarily in Tompkins County, New York.

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, 1996.

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 June 30, 1997,  and December 31, 1996, and the results of operations
for the three  months  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996.  Certain
reclassifications  have been made to prior  period  amounts for  consistency  in
reporting.

3.       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.  No open  market  transactions  have been
completed under this program.  On May 14, 1997, the Company  repurchased  80,000
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 $33.38 per share, for a total purchase price of $2.67 million.

4.       SECURITIES

Management  determines  the  appropriate   classification  of  debt  and  equity
securities  at  the  time  of  purchase.   Debt  securities  are  classified  as
held-to-maturity  when the Company has the  positive  intent and ability to hold
the securities to maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized
cost. Debt securities not classified as  held-to-maturity  and marketable equity
securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale  securities
are stated at fair value,  with the  unrealized  gains and  losses,  net of tax,
excluded  from  earnings and reported as a separate  component of  shareholders'
equity.

Amortized cost of held-to-maturity  debt securities is adjusted for amortization
of  premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts  to  maturity,  or in  the  case  of
mortgage-backed  securities,  over the estimated life of the security.  Realized
gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be  other-than-temporary,  are
included in net securities gains (losses).  The cost of securities sold is based
on the specific identification method.

Transfers of  securities  between  categories  are recorded at fair value at the
date of transfer.  Unrealized  holding gains or losses  included in the separate
component   of   shareholders'   equity   for   securities    transferred   from
available-for-sale   to  held-to-maturity  are  maintained  and  amortized  into

                                       7
<PAGE>

earnings over the remaining  life of the security as an adjustment to yield in a
manner  consistent with the  amortization or accretion of premium or discount on
the associated security.

As of  June  30,  1997,  net  unrealized  losses  on  securities  classified  as
available-for-sale  totaled  $201,000,  resulting in an after tax  shareholders'
equity   capital   reduction   of   $117,000.   As   of   December   31,   1996,
available-for-sale securities had net unrealized gains of $113,000, resulting in
an after tax shareholders' equity capital increase of $66,000.

5.       LOANS

Loans are reported at their  principal  outstanding  balance net of charge-offs,
deferred loan fees and costs,  and unearned  income.  The Company provides motor
vehicle and  equipment  financing  to its  customers  through  direct  financing
leases.  These leases are carried at the aggregate  lease  payments  receivable,
plus estimated residual values, less unearned income.  Unearned income on direct
financing  leases is amortized over the lease terms resulting in a level rate of
return.

Loans,  including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they
are past due as to maturity or payment of  principal or interest for a period of
more than 90 days,  unless  such loans are well  secured  and in the  process of
collection.  Loans that are past due less than 90 days may also be classified as
nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt.  Loans
may be  returned to accrual  status  when all  principal  and  interest  amounts
contractually  due (including  arrearages)  are reasonably  assured of repayment
within an acceptable time period,  and there is a sustained  period of repayment
performance by the borrower,  in accordance  with the  contractual  terms of the
loan agreement.  Payments  received on loans carried as nonaccrual are generally
applied as a  reduction  to  principal.  When the future  collectibility  of the
recorded loan balance is expected,  interest  income may be recognized on a cash
basis.

The Company's recorded  investment in loans considered  impaired was $800,000 on
June 30,  1997,  and the  average  recorded  investment  in  impaired  loans was
$808,000  through  the first six  months of 1997.  Included  in this  amount was
$175,000  of  impaired  loans for which  related  reserves  total  $57,000.  The
recorded investment in impaired loans as of December 31, 1996, was $1.2 million.
The  December  31, 1996  amount  includes  $582,000 of impaired  loans which had
related  reserves of $94,000.  Interest  income on impaired loans of $19,000 was
recognized for cash payments received during the first six months of 1997.

6.       ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In June 1996,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers of Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of Liabilities." The statement provides  accounting and reporting  standards for
transfers of servicing of financial  assets and  extinguishments  of liabilities
based upon a consistent  application  of a  financial-components  approach  that
focuses on control.  It  distinguishes  transfers of  financial  assets that are
sales,  from transfers that are secured  borrowings.  The Company  prospectively
adopted applicable  sections of SFAS No. 125 effective January 1, 1997. Sections
of SFAS No. 125, which have been deferred by SFAS No. 127 will be  prospectively
adopted by the Company on January 1, 1998. The expected  impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements is not material.

In December 1996, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings  Per Share".  The Statement  supersedes  Accounting  Principles  Board
Opinion  No.  15.   "Earnings  Per  Share",   and  specifies  the   computation,
presentation,  and  disclosure  requirements  for  earnings  per share (EPS) for
entities  with publicly held common  stock.  It requires  dual  presentation  of
"Basic  EPS" and  "Diluted  EPS" on the  face of the  income  statement  for all
entities with complex capital  structures.  The Company will prospectively adopt
SFAS No. 128 effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15,
1997. Upon adoption,  all prior period EPS will be restated. The expected impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not material.

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 129,
"Disclosure  of  Information  about  Capital  Structure".  SFAS 129  establishes
standards for disclosing  information about an entity's capital structure and is
effective  for  financial  statement  periods  ending  after  December 31, 1997.
Adoption  of  SFAS  129 is not  expected  to  have an  impact  on the  financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

                                       8
<PAGE>

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  SFAS No. 123 establishes  standards for the
reporting and display of  comprehensive  income and its components in a full set
of general purpose financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity of a business  enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and  circumstances  from nonowner  sources.  The impact of adopting
SFAS  No.  130,  which  is  effective  for the  Company  in  1998,  has not been
determined.

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.  SFAS No. 131 is  effective  for the Company in 1998 and the impact of
adoption has not been determined.

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

This  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  subsidiary  the Tompkins  County Trust
Company.  It  should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  Form 10-K and
related  notes  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,  and  the  condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the second  quarter of 1997 was $2.5  million,  compared  to $2.3
million for the second quarter of 1996. Earnings per share in the second quarter
of 1997  increased  16.9% to $0.76,  compared to $0.66 in the second  quarter of
1996.  Year to date net income  increased to $4.9 million  through the first six
months of 1997,  compared  to net income of $4.5  million for the same six month
period of 1996.  Year to date  earnings  per share  increased by 18.1% to $1.50,
compared to $1.27 per share for the first six months of 1996.

Significant  improvement  in earnings per share  through the first six months of
1997 was  achieved  through a  combination  of 8% growth  in  earnings  and a 7%
decline in the average  number of shares  outstanding.  The reduction in average
shares  outstanding  is  primarily  the  result  of a two  privately  negotiated
transactions in which the Company  repurchased  244,371 common shares in October
of 1996 and 80,000 common shares in May of 1997.

The Company's  return on average assets was 1.62% during the first six months of
1997,  compared  to 1.65%  during  the same  period in 1996.  Return on  average
shareholders'  equity for the first six months of 1997 was  19.0%,  compared  to
16.4%  for the same  period in 1996.  The 16%  increase  in  return  on  average
shareholders' equity was aided by the repurchases of the Company's common stock.

NET INTEREST INCOME
The  attached  Average  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet and Net  Interest  Analysis
reflects a 4.84%  tax-equivalent  net interest  margin on earning assets through
the first six months of 1997,  compared to a 4.99%  ratio  through the first six
months of 1996. The decline in net interest  margin is  attributable  to several
large customers  shifting deposits from money market accounts to higher yielding
time deposits  during 1996.  Deposit growth through the first six months of 1997
has been  centered  in time  deposits  and savings  and money  market  accounts.
Despite the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits,  year-to-date net
interest  income of $13.1  million  represents  a 6% increase  over the same six
month period in 1996.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The  provision  represents  management's  estimate of the expense  necessary  to
maintain the reserve for loan and lease losses at an adequate level.  The second
quarter  provision  of $153,000  represents  a 64%  decrease  from the  $251,000
provision in the second  quarter of 1996. The year to date provision of $567,000
represents a modest  increase from the $455,000  provision made during the first
six months of 1996.  The decline in the provision  expense in the second quarter
of 1997  compared  to the second  quarter of 1996 is largely  attributable  to a
lower volume of net loan losses,  which allowed  management to maintain adequate
reserves with a lower provision expense.

OTHER INCOME
Total other income was $2.1 million in the second  quarter of 1997,  compared to
$2.0  million in the second  quarter of 1996.  Year to date other income of $4.4
million  represents a 13% increase  from the $3.9 million  reported for the same
six month period of 1996. Income from trust and investment services, the largest
segment of other income, increased 20% to $1.6 million, compared to $1.3 million
in the first six months of 1996.  The  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to
continued asset growth in the Trust and Investment  Services  Department.  Total
assets under  management by the Trust and Investment  Services  Department  were
$725.3 million on June 30, 1997,  which includes $170.4 million of the Company's
investment  portfolio,  for  which  the  department  began  providing  custodial
services in December 1996.  Total Trust and  investment  services are considered
important  to future  revenue  growth of the  Company  and  management  plans to
continue to market these services broadly.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Credit card merchant fee income of $1.0 million  through the first six months of
1997 represents a 20% increase from the same period in 1996.  Growth in merchant
fee  income is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase  in the number of Trust
Company merchant customers.

OTHER EXPENSE
Total other  expenses  increased in the second quarter from $4.4 million in 1996
to $4.8 million in 1997.  Through the first six months of 1997,  other operating
expenses  were  up  approximately  6% to $9.4  million.  Credit  card  operating
expenses is a variable  expense that is tied to the volume of transactions  from
the Company's  merchant and other credit card customers.  The increase in credit
card operating expenses during the first half of 1997 is primarily the result of
an increased number of merchant credit card customers.

Included in other  operating  expenses in the second quarter of 1997 is $120,000
accrual  for  donations,  which  has  been  committed  to local  not for  profit
organizations and will be distributed  throughout the remainder of the 1997. The
Company  also  realized  a  $44,000  loss  on  the  sale  of  available-for-sale
securities,   the  proceeds  from  which  were  reinvested  in  higher  yielding
investments.

INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate sensitivity 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 Trust Company's June 30, 1997,  one-year cumulative rate sensitivity gap was
a negative  14.8% 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  believes the current interest rate risk
exposure is not  significant  given the Company's  current level of earnings and
capital.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets were $615.5 million as of June 30, 1997, representing
a 4% increase  over total assets  reported as of December  31, 1996.  Growth was
evenly  distributed  between loans and securities  (net of SFAS 115 market value
adjustments on  available-for-sale  securities) which each grew at approximately
4%. Asset growth was funded  through a combination  of core deposit growth and a
$7 million increase in borrowings.

CAPITAL
Total shareholders' equity grew a modest $126,000 during the first six months of
1997 to $52.7  million.  Dividends  through June 30, 1997 totaled  approximately
$2.0 million, or $.60 per share.  Dividends paid in the first six months of 1997
represent approximately 40% of earnings for the same period. Total common shares
outstanding  were  reduced in May 1997,  after the  Company  repurchased  80,000
shares at a price of $33.375 per share.  The shares were  returned to the status
of  authorized  but  unissued,  and the  transaction  resulted in a $2.7 million
reduction in total shareholders' equity.

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,  1997,  compared to the  regulatory  capital  requirements  for a "well
capitalized" institution.

As illustrated  above, the Company's capital ratios on June 30, 1997 remain well
above the minimum  requirement for a well  capitalized  institution.  The ratios
reflect a modest  decline  from the December  31, 1996  capital  ratios,  due to
limited  capital growth as a result of the stock  repurchased in May 1997. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company's  Total Capital as a percentage of Risk Weighted
assets was 16.1%;  Tier I Capital to risk weighted assets was 14.9%;  and Tier I
Capital to average assets was 8.9%.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Management  reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses in a
detailed and ongoing basis,  giving  consideration to various risk elements that
may affect the losses in the loan portfolio. Based upon management's review, the
current  reserve of $4.9 million is believed to be adequate to absorb  potential
losses in the loan and lease  portfolios.  Activity in the Company's reserve for
loan  and  lease  losses  during  the  first  six  months  of 1997  and  1996 is
illustrated in the table below.

===================================================================================================
</TABLE>

Annualized  net  charge-offs  through  the first six months of 1997  amounted to
0.26% of average loans  outstanding  during the period.  This ratio  compares to
0.25% for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996.  The  second  quarter  of 1997
reflected  improving  trends  in the loan  portfolio,  with net  charge-offs  of
$103,000  in the  second  quarter of 1997,  compared  to  $364,000  in the first
quarter  of 1997.  Fewer  consumer  loan  charge-offs  and  improved  recoveries
contributed  to the  significant  reduction  in net  charge-offs  in the  second
quarter.

The  level of  nonperforming  loans,  as  illustrated  in the table  below,  was
approximately  the  same on June  30,  1997 as in the  prior  year.  Over 90% of
nonperforming  loans as of June 30,  1997 are secured by real  estate,  with 68%
secured by 1-4 family residential properties.
