                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

                     BUSINESS OF TROY FINANCIAL CORPORATION

    Troy Financial Corporation ("Troy Financial" or the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation  that has  registered  with the Board of  Governors  of the  Federal
Reserve System (the "Federal  Reserve") as the bank holding company for The Troy
Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") and The Troy Commercial Bank (the  "Commercial
Bank")(collectively,  the "Banks").  Troy  Financial's  primary  business is the
business of the Banks.

    Presently,  Troy Financial and the  Commercial  Bank have no plans to own or
lease  any  property,  but  instead  use  the  premises  and  equipment  of  its
subsidiaries.  Troy  Financial  does not employ any persons  other than  certain
officers  of the  Savings  Bank  who  are  not  separately  compensated  by Troy
Financial or the Commercial  Bank.  Troy  Financial and the Commercial  Bank may
utilize the support staff of the Savings Bank from time to time, if needed,  and
additional  employees  will be hired as appropriate to the extent Troy Financial
or the Commercial  Bank expand their business in the future.  Troy Financial was
incorporated in 1998.

    Troy  Financial  is subject to  regulation  and  supervision  by the Federal
Reserve. See "Regulation."

    The Savings Bank is a community oriented savings bank headquartered in Troy,
New York. Until November 2000, the Savings Bank operated through 14 full service
branch  offices  in a six  county  market  area.  As a  full  service  financial
institution,  the Savings Bank places a particular  emphasis on residential  and
commercial  real estate loan  products,  as well as retail and business  banking
products  and  services.  The  Savings  Bank and its  subsidiaries  also offer a
complete  range  of  trust,   insurance  and  investments  services,   including
securities  brokerage,  annuity and mutual funds  sales,  money  management  and
retirement plan services, and other traditional  investment/brokerage activities
to  individuals,  families and  businesses  throughout  the eight New York State
counties of Albany, Greene, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, Washington
and Rensselaer, the county in which Troy is located.

    In August 2000,  the Company  established  the Commercial  Bank,  which is a
commercial bank  headquartered in Troy, New York. The Commercial  Bank's purpose
is to provide an  alternative  source of funding  for the  Company  through  the
generation of municipal deposits.

     As of the close of business on November 10, 2000, the Company completed the
acquisition of Catskill Financial Corporation ("Catskill") in a cash transaction
for $23.00 per  share,  for a total  transaction  value of  approximately  $90.0
million.  The seven  former  offices of  Catskill  Savings  Bank are now open as
full-service  offices of the Savings Bank. The combined  regional bank has total
assets  of  approximately  $1.2  billion,   deposits  of  $780  million  and  21
full-service  offices  located in eight New York  counties  throughout  New York
State's Capital and Catskill regions.  In accordance with the purchase method of
accounting  for  business  combinations,  the assets  acquired  and  liabilities
assumed  were  recorded by the Company at their  estimated  fair value.  Related
operating  results  will be included  in the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

    The  Company's  goal is to be the primary  source of financial  products and
services for its  business,  retail,  and  municipal  customers.  The  Company's
business  strategy  is to serve as a  community  based,  full-service  financial
services  firm by offering a wide variety of  business,  retail,  and  municipal
banking  products,  and trust,  insurance,  investment  management and brokerage
services to its potential and existing customers throughout its market area.

    The Company  delivers  its products  and  services  and  interacts  with its
customers primarily through its 21 branches and 22 proprietary  automated teller
machines ("ATMs") and its 24-hour telephone banking service  ("Time$aver").  The
Company's  branches are staffed by managers,  branch operations  supervisors and
customer  sales  and  service  representatives  ("CSSRs")  who are  trained  and
encouraged to market and service the Company's products and services,  including
those of the Company's subsidiaries.

    The  Savings  Bank  and the  Commercial  Bank  are  subject  to  regulation,
examination  and  supervision  by Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (the
"FDIC") and the New York State  Banking  Department  ("NYSBD"),  and the Savings
Bank is a


                                       3
<PAGE>

member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System ("FHLB System"). The Banks' deposits
are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. See "Regulation."

LENDING ACTIVITY

    The Company  focuses its lending  activity  primarily on the  origination of
commercial real estate loans,  commercial business loans,  residential  mortgage
loans and consumer loans.  The types of loans that the Company may originate are
subject to federal and state law and regulations.  Interest rates charged by the
Company on loans are  affected  principally  by the demand for such  loans,  the
supply of money  available  for lending  purposes  and the rates  offered by its
competitors.  These  factors  are, in turn,  affected  by general  and  economic
conditions,  monetary policies of the federal government,  including the Federal
Reserve,  legislative tax policies and  governmental  budget  matters.  All loan
approval  decisions  are made  locally,  by  individual  loan  officers  or loan
committees, depending upon the size of the loan, and the Company responds to all
loan requests in a prompt and timely manner.

    Loan  Portfolio  Composition.  At September  30, 2000,  the  Company's  loan
portfolio  totaled  $598.7  million,  or 64.9% of total  assets,  and  consisted
primarily of single family residential mortgage loans and commercial real estate
loans, as well as  construction  loans,  commercial  business loans and consumer
loans.

    The commercial real estate loan portfolio  totaled $233.3 million,  or 39.0%
and 25.3% of the Company's  loans and total assets,  respectively,  at September
30, 2000.  Approximately 82.0% of the loans are secured by properties located in
the  Company's six county  market area,  and an  additional  8.0% are secured by
properties  located  in the New  York  City  area.  Approximately  28.0%  of the
properties  securing the loans are apartment  buildings and cooperatives,  32.0%
are  office  buildings  and  warehouses  and 22.0%  are  retail  buildings.  The
Company's  commercial  real  estate  loans  range in size  from  $1,000 to $12.2
million, and the average outstanding principal balance at September 30, 2000 was

size from $3.0  million  to $12.2  million,  and the  Company  had 64 loans with
outstanding  balances  of more than $1.0  million at  September  30,  2000.  The
Company's  largest  commercial  real  estate  exposure  at  September  30,  2000
involving a single entity was $29.2 million to a local real estate developer and
his related real estate  interests  with whom the Company has had a fifteen year
relationship.

    The commercial  business loan portfolio  totaled $87.2 million,  or 14.6% of
the  Company's  loans and 9.5% of total  assets,  at  September  30,  2000,  and
includes fixed and adjustable  rate loans and adjustable rate lines of credit to
a diverse customer base which includes  manufacturers,  wholesalers,  retailers,

Company's  commercial business loans range in size from $5,000 to $10.0 million,
with an average  principal balance  outstanding of approximately  $291,000 as of

date  ranged in terms of total  exposure,  including  outstanding  balances  and
unfounded commitments, from $2.5 million to $10.8 million.

    The Company's portfolio of single family residential  mortgage loans totaled
$227.0  million,  or 37.9% of loans and 24.6% of total assets,  at September 30,
2000, and consisted primarily of fixed rate and adjustable rate loans secured by
detached,  single family homes located in the Company's  market area, as well as
secured home equity and home  improvement  loans.  As of September 30, 2000, the
Company's  largest  single-family  residential  mortgage loan had an outstanding
balance of $672,500. As of that date, the typical residential mortgage loan held
by  the  Company  in  its  portfolio  had  an  average   principal   balance  of
approximately  $80,000,  an initial  loan-to-value  ("LTV") ratio of 80% and was
secured by a detached, single family home.

    The consumer loan portfolio totaled $44.3 million,  or 7.4% of the Company's
loans and 4.8% of total assets,  at September 30, 2000.  The Company's  consumer
loan portfolio includes home equity lines of credit,  fixed rate consumer loans,
overdraft  protection  and  "Creative  Loans",  which start with a modest  below
market  interest rate that  increases each year. The Company's home equity lines
of credit  and  Creative  Loans  represented  11.3%  and 13.5% of the  Company's
consumer loan  portfolio,  respectively,  at September 30, 2000.  Personal fixed
rate loans originated through direct mail marketing  programs  represented $19.2
million,  or 43.3% of the  Company's  consumer  loan  portfolio at September 30,
2000.

    The  Company   generally  does  not  purchase  loans  from  other  financial
institutions.  The Company does, however, sell or enter into commitments to sell
certain of its fixed rate  mortgage  loans to Freddie  Mac,  as well as to other
parties.  Historically  the  Company has sold  substantially  all of its 30-year
conforming  fixed  rate  mortgage  loans  and from time to time,  as  conditions
warrant,  substantially all of its 15-year  conforming fixed rate mortgage loans
into the secondary  mortgage  market.  During fiscal 2000 and 1999,  the Company
sold $12.9 million and $46.7 million, respectively, of fixed rate mortgage loans
into the secondary  mortgage  market.  In order to reduce the interest rate risk
associated  with  mortgage  loans  held for sale,  as well as  outstanding  loan
commitments and uncommitted  loan  applications  with rate lock agreements which
are  intended to be held for sale,  the Company  enters into  mandatory  forward
sales  commitments and option  agreements to sell loans in the secondary market.
The  Company  typically  retains  servicing  rights  on  loans  sold in order to
generate  fee income.  As of  September  30,  2000,  the  Company was  servicing
mortgage loans for others,  with an aggregate  outstanding  principal balance of
$236.3 million.

    The following is a more detailed discussion of the Company's current lending
practices.

    Commercial  Real Estate  Lending.  The Company  originates  commercial  real
estate loans  primarily in its six county  market area, as well as New York City
and northern New York, and to a lesser extent in other states. Approximately 8%,
8% and 3%,  respectively,  of the  Company's  commercial  real estate  loans are
secured by real estate located in New York City, primarily  Manhattan,  Brooklyn
and the Bronx;  northern New York;  and states other than New York. At September
30, 2000,  the Company's  commercial  real estate loan portfolio by sector is as
follows:  28%  in  apartment  buildings  and  cooperatives;  32% in  office  and
warehouse  buildings;  22%  in  retail  buildings;  1%  in  buildings  owned  by
non-profit  organizations;  5% in the  hospitality  industry;  and 12% in  other
property types.

    The Company's commercial real estate loans outstanding  increased moderately
in  fiscal  2000,  after  substantial  growth  in  fiscal  1999,  and  following
relatively  consistent  activity in the prior two years. The Company  originated
$56.1 million,  $105.2  million and $27.4 million of new commercial  real estate
loans  in  fiscal  years  2000,  1999  and  1998,  respectively.  As part of the
Company's  commercial  real  estate  lending  marketing  effort,  the  Company's
commercial real estate loan officers call on prospective borrowers, follow up on
branch  walk-ins and referrals and interact  with  representatives  of the local
real estate industry.

    In addition to developing  business,  the Company's  commercial  real estate
loan officers are  responsible  for the  underwriting  of commercial real estate
loans. The Company's  underwriting  standards focus on a review of the potential
borrower's  cash  flow,  LTV ratios and  rent-rolls,  as well as the  borrower's
leverage and working capital ratios, the real estate securing the loan, personal
guarantees and the borrower's other on-going projects.  In general,  the Company
seeks to  underwrite  loans  with an LTV  ratio of 75% or less,  although  under
certain circumstances it will accept an LTV ratio of up to 90%.

    The  Company  assigns  each  commercial  real estate loan a risk rating that
focuses  on the  loan's  risk of  loss.  Following  the loan  officer's  initial
underwriting and preparation of a credit  memorandum,  the loan file is reviewed
by the Vice  President and Director of Commercial  Real Estate  Lending who then
has authority to approve the loan if the loan amount is less than  $100,000,  in
the case of  unsecured  loans,  and  less  than  $252,700,  in the case of loans
secured by commercial  real estate.  Unsecured  loans between  $100,000 and $1.5
million and secured loans between  $252,700 and $1.5 million require approval of
the Company's Commercial Mortgage Credit Committee.  All loans in excess of $1.5
million require approval of the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors.

    The commercial real estate loan officers are also responsible for monitoring
the Company's  portfolio of commercial  real estate loans on an on-going  basis,
which includes  reviewing annual financial  statements,  verification  that loan
covenants  have not been  violated and property  inspections.  In addition,  the
Company employs an annual review process in which an outside consultant, who was
previously  the director of commercial  lending for a large New York  commercial
bank,  reviews 75% to 80% of the Company's  commercial real estate  portfolio to
confirm the Company's  assigned risk rating and to review the Company's  overall
monitoring of the loan portfolio.

    Commercial Business Lending.  Since 1993, the Company has actively sought to
originate  commercial  business loans in its market area. The Company originated
$43.0  million and $53.0 million of  commercial  business  loans in fiscal years
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The Company's commercial loans generally range in
size up to $10.0  million,  and the borrowers  are located  within the Company's
market area. The Company  offers both fixed rate loans,  with terms ranging from
three to seven years,  and adjustable rate lines of credit.  As of September 30,
2000, 40.0% of the Company's outstanding  commercial loan portfolio consisted of
variable rate loan  products.  As a general rule,  the Company sets the interest
rates on its loans based on the Company's prime rate or other index rates,  plus
a premium,  and its  variable-rate  loans  reprice at least  every 90 days.  The
Company's commercial loans includes loans used for equipment financing,  working
capital and accounts  receivable and these loans are made to a diverse  customer
base which includes manufacturers,  wholesalers,  retailers,  service providers,
educational institutions and government funded entities.

    The Company  solicits  commercial loan business  through its commercial loan
officers who call on potential  borrowers and follow-up on referrals  from other
Company employees.  The commercial loan officers market the Company's commercial
loan products by focusing on the Company's  competitive  pricing,  the Company's
reputation for service and the Company's ties to the local business communities.
In many cases, the Company's senior  management,  including the President,  will
meet with prospective borrowers.

    The Company also has a small business  lending  program  whereby the Company
lends money to small, locally owned and operated  businesses.  During the fiscal
year ended  September 30, 2000,  the Company  originated  88 new small  business
loans of up to $50,000, and as of September 30, 2000, the Company had over $14.0
million of such loans  outstanding.  Many of the Company's  small business loans
are secured by cash collateral or marketable securities or are guaranteed by the
Small Business Administration.

    In addition to developing  business,  the Company's commercial loan officers
are responsible for the  underwriting of the commercial loans and the monitoring
of the ongoing relationship between the borrower and the Company.  Following the
loan officer's initial underwriting and preparation of a credit memorandum,  the
potential  loan is reviewed by the Vice  President  and  Director of  Commercial
Lending  who then has  authority  to approve the loan if the loan amount is less
than $100,000.  Loans between  $100,000 and $1.0 million require approval of the
Company's Commercial Loan Credit Committee,  and loans in excess of $1.0 million
require approval of the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company's
underwriting  standards focus on a review of the potential borrower's cash flow,
as well as the  borrower's  leverage  and working  capital  ratios.  To a lesser
extent,  the Company will consider the collateral  securing the loan and whether
there is a personal guarantee on the loan.

    To assist  with the initial  underwriting  and  ongoing  maintenance  of the
Company's  commercial  loans, the Company employs the same risk rating system as
is used  by the  Company's  commercial  real  estate  loan  department.  See "--
Commercial Real Estate  Lending." At the time a loan is initially  underwritten,
as well as every time a loan is reviewed,  the Company assigns a risk rating. In
addition,  the  Company  employs  an annual  review  process in which an outside
consultant,  who was previously  the director of commercial  lending for a large
New York commercial  bank,  reviews 75% to 80% of the Company's  commercial loan
portfolio  to  confirm  the  Company's  assigned  risk  rating and to review the
Company's overall monitoring of the loan portfolio.

    The Company  monitors its commercial loan portfolio by closely  watching all
loans with a risk rating which indicates  certain adverse factors,  such as debt
ratio or cash flow issues. In addition, the Company receives delinquency reports
beginning  on the 10th of every  month.  If a loan  payment is more than 20 days
late,  then the  commercial  loan officer begins active loan  management,  which
initially  will  include  calling  the  borrower  or  sending a written  notice.
Moreover,  because the Company's lines of credit expire every 12 months, or five
months  after the  borrower's  fiscal year end,  and the borrower is required to
renew the line of credit at such time, the Company, in effect, reunderwrites the
loan annually.  Because a term loan often includes a line of credit,  the status
of the  borrower  and loan is  reviewed  annually  because of the line of credit
review.  In all  reviews,  the Company  analyzes  the  borrower's  most  current
financial  statements,  and in some cases will visit the borrower or inspect the
borrower's business and properties.

    Single Family Residential  Lending. The Company has originated $44.4 million
and $95.8 million of single family residential real estate loans in fiscal years
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Substantially  all of the  Company's  residential
mortgage loans were  originated  through the Family  Mortgage  Banking Co., Inc.
(the "FMB"),  the Company's mortgage banking  subsidiary.  FMB currently employs
four loan counselors who are  responsible for developing the Company's  mortgage
business by meeting with referrals, networking with representatives of the local
real estate  industry and  sponsoring  home buying  seminars.  In addition,  the
Company's  CSSRs are  trained  to refer  potential  mortgage  customers  to FMB.
Although FMB meets with applicants and assists with the application process, the
Company  handles  the  processing,  underwriting,  funding  and  closing  of all
residential  mortgage loans.  The single family  residential  mortgage loans not
originated  through FMB generally are originated  through  independent  mortgage
brokers or by the Company.

    The  Company  currently  makes a variety of fixed rate and  adjustable  rate
("ARMs")  mortgage  loans  which are secured by one- to  four-family  residences
located in the  Company's six county market area.  The Company  offers  mortgage
loans that  conform to Freddie Mac  guidelines,  as well as jumbo  loans,  which
presently   are  loans  in  amounts   over   $252,700,   and  loans  with  other
non-conforming features. The Company will underwrite a single family residential
mortgage  loan with an LTV ratio of up to 95% with private  mortgage  insurance,
and the Company's  fixed rate mortgages  generally  have  maturities of 10 to 30
years.

    The Company  offers a variety of ARM programs  based on market  demand.  The
Company  generally  amortizes an ARM over 30 years.  On select ARMs, the Company
offers a conversion  option,  whereby the  borrower,  at his or her option,  can
convert the loan to a fixed interest rate after a predetermined  period of time,
generally 10 to 57 months.  Interest  rates are  generally  adjusted  based on a
specified  margin over the  Constant  Treasury  Maturity  Index.  Interest  rate
adjustments  on such loans are  limited  to both  annual  adjustment  caps and a
maximum  adjustment  over the life of the  loan.  The  origination  of ARMs,  as
opposed to fixed rate loans, helps
                                       9
<PAGE>

to reduce the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates.  During periods
of rising interest rates,  however,  ARMs may increase credit risks not inherent
in fixed rate loans,  primarily because,  as interest rates rise, the underlying
payments of the borrower rise, thereby increasing the potential for default. The
annual and lifetime  adjustable  caps do however help to reduce such risks.  The
volume and type of ARMs  originated  through FMB are affected by numerous market
factors,   including  the  level  of  interest  rates,   competition,   consumer
preferences  and the  availability  of funds. At September 30, 2000, the Company
held $57.9  million of ARMs in its loan  portfolio,  most of which were one-year
ARMs.

    Single  family  residential  loans are generally  underwritten  according to
Freddie Mac guidelines. The Company requires borrowers who obtain mortgage loans
with an LTV ratio greater than 80% to obtain  private  mortgage  insurance in an
amount  sufficient to reduce the Company's  exposure to not more than 80% of the
lower of the  purchase  price or  appraised  value.  In  addition,  the  Company
requires escrow accounts for the payment of taxes and insurance if the LTV ratio
exceeds 80%, but will permit  borrowers to request an escrow  account  waiver if
the LTV ratio is less than 80%.  Substantially  all mortgage loans originated by
the Company include  due-on-transfer  clauses which provide the Company with the
contractual  right  to  deem  the  loan  immediately  due and  payable,  in most
instances,  if the borrower  transfers  ownership  of the  property  without the
Company's  consent.  The Company's staff  underwriters have authority to approve
loans in amounts up to $252,700. Loans between $252,700 and $1.0 million require
the approval of the Company's Commercial Mortgage Credit Committee, and loans in
excess of $1.0 million  require the approval of the Loan  Committee of the Board
of Directors.

    In an effort to help low and  moderate  income home buyers in the  Company's
communities,  the Company  participates  in  residential  mortgage  programs and
products  sponsored by the State of New York Mortgage Agency  ("SONYMA") and the
Federal Housing Authority ("FHA").  SONYMA and FHA mortgage programs provide low
and moderate income  households with smaller down payment and below-market  rate
loans.  The Company  typically sells the SONYMA loans back to SONYMA for sale in
the  secondary  market.  The  Company  is also a charter  member of the  Capital
District Affordable Housing Partnership,  a local lending consortium which makes
mortgage  funds  available to homebuyers  who are unable to obtain  conventional
financing.  The Company  participates in the Capital District Community Loan and
the FHLB Home Buyer's  Club.  In the past five years,  the Company has also made
available to  low-to-moderate  income first-time  homebuyers over $15 million of
conventional no down payment mortgages for its loan portfolio.

    To complement the Company's portfolio of residential mortgage loan products,
the Company also originates  fixed rate home equity mortgage loans.  These loans
are secured by a first or second mortgage on the owner-occupied property. During
fiscal 2000, the Company  originated $6.2 million of home equity mortgage loans.
As of September  30, 2000,  the average size of the Company's  outstanding  home
equity mortgage loans in its residential mortgage loan portfolio was $20,000.

    Consumer Lending. In addition to the Company's  residential  mortgage loans,
the Company offers a variety of consumer credit products,  including home equity
lines of credit,  variable rate or Creative Loans, fixed rate consumer loans and
overdraft protection. The objective of the Company's consumer lending program is
to maintain a  profitable  loan  portfolio  and to serve the credit needs of the
Company's  customers  and the  communities  in  which  it does  business,  while
providing  for adequate  liquidity,  diversification  and safe and sound banking
practices.

    The Company  offers home equity  lines of credit in amounts up to  $100,000.
The home equity lines of credit have fixed interest rates and are available only
if the LTV ratio is less than 80%.  The  Company's  Creative  Loans begin with a
modest below market  interest rate that  increases  each year, and are generally
secured by personal property and do not carry prepayment penalties.  The average
balance on the Company's Creative Loans for fiscal 2000 was $19.7 million.

    The Company's  fixed rate consumer  loans are typically  made to finance the
purchase  of new or used  automobiles.  In such cases,  the Company  offers 100%
financing  on new  automobiles  with  terms  available  up to 60 months  and 80%
financing  on used  automobiles  with  loan  terms  dependent  upon  the year of
vehicles.  The  Company  also  offers  unsecured  lines of credit  or  overdraft
protection to credit qualified  depositors who maintain  checking  accounts with
the Company.  In addition to covering  overdrafts  on checking  accounts,  these
unsecured  lines of credit are accessible to borrowers from ATMs  throughout the
world.

    The Company markets its consumer credit products through its branches, local
advertisements and direct mailings.  Applications can be completed at any branch
of the  Company,  and in most cases,  the Company  will  respond to a customer's
completed credit application within 24 hours,  including the funding of the loan
if the borrower is approved.  Individual  authority  to approve  consumer  loans
varies by the amount of the loan and whether it is real estate related. Consumer
loans are underwritten  according to the Company's  Consumer Loans  Underwriting
practices,  and loan  approval is based  primarily  on review of the  borrower's
employment status, credit report and credit score.

    Construction  Lending. The Company offers residential  construction loans to
individuals who are  constructing  their own homes in the Company's market area.
Generally,  the builders  utilized by the Company's  construction loan borrowers
are ones with whom the Company is familiar and has a long-standing relationship.
The Company's loan administration  group monitors the periodic  disbursements of
all construction  loans, and before advances are made the Company's  independent
appraisers  provide  reports  comparing the progress of the  construction to the
pre-construction  schedule.  In many cases,  the Company  converts  construction
loans to traditional  residential or commercial  mortgage loans, as the case may
be, following  completion of  construction.  During the year ended September 30,
2000, the Company  originated  $2.3 million of residential  construction  loans.
Residential   construction  loans  outstanding  are  reported  with  residential
mortgage loans.

    The Company's  construction  loans generally have terms of up to six months,
and require  payments of interest  only.  If  construction  is not  completed on
schedule, the Company charges the borrower additional fees in connection with an
extension of the loan. The Company's staff  underwriters have approval authority
of up to  $252,700.  Loans  in  excess  of  $252,700  require  approval  of  the
Commercial  Mortgage  Credit  Committee,  and loans in  excess  of $1.5  million
require  approval of the Loan  Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company
will not make construction loans in excess of $1.5 million,  or greater than 95%
of the estimated cost of construction.

    Construction  lending generally  involves greater credit risk than permanent
financing on owner-occupied  real estate.  The risk of loss is dependent largely
upon the accuracy of the initial  estimate of the property's value at completion
of  construction,  compared  to  the  estimated  cost,  including  interest,  of
construction,  and the ability of the builder to complete  the  project.  If the
estimate  of  the  value  proves  to be  inaccurate,  then  the  Company  may be
confronted with a project that, when completed, has a value that is insufficient
to assure full repayment of the loan.

    The Company also makes construction loans on commercial real estate projects
where  the  borrowers  are well  known  to the  Company  and have the  necessary
liquidity and financial  capacity to support the projects through to completion,
and where the  source of  permanent  financing,  either  the  Company or another
institution, can be verified. All commercial real estate construction lending is
done on a recourse basis. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $7.3 million
of  commercial  real  estate  construction  loans  outstanding,  or  1.2% of the
Company's loans and .79% of total assets.

    Loan Review.  As part of the portfolio  monitoring  process,  all commercial
business  loans,  regardless of size, and all commercial  real estate loans over
$750,000 are subjected to an annual detailed loan review process. All classified
loans over $100,000 (see below) in both portfolios are subjected to this process
quarterly.  Current  financial  information  is analyzed  and the loan rating is
evaluated to determine if it still accurately represents the level of risk posed
by the credit.  These  reviews are then  reviewed by an outside  consultant  who
opines on the  reasonableness of the loan officers'  conclusions with respect to
the loan's risk rating and the related  allowance for loan loss, if any. For the
classified  loans,  these  quarterly  reviews and review by the  consultant  are
complemented  by a quarterly loan officers'  meeting with the consultant and the
Company's Chief Credit Officer. The conclusions reached at these meetings become
an integral part of the quarterly analysis of loan loss reserve adequacy.

    Delinquent  Loans.  It is the  policy of the  management  of the  Company to
monitor the Company's  loan  portfolio to anticipate  and address  potential and
actual delinquencies.  The procedures taken by the Company vary depending on the
type of loan.

    With respect to single family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans,
when a borrower fails to make a payment on the loan, the Company takes immediate
steps to have the delinquency  cured and the loan restored to current status. On
the  15th  of  every  month,  the  Credit  Administration   Department  prepares
delinquency reports. The Company's collection manager and her staff then contact
the borrower by telephone to ascertain  the reason for the  delinquency  and the
prospects of repayment. Written notices are also sent at that time. The borrower
is again contacted by telephone on the 20th and 26th of the month if payment has
not been  received.  After 30 days  another  notice is sent and the  borrower is
reported as delinquent.  The Credit Administration  Department continues to call
the borrower, and if payment has not been received by the 60th day, then another
notice is sent  informing  the  borrower  that the loan must be brought  current
within the next 30 days or foreclosure proceedings will be commenced. Generally,
the Company  does not accrue  interest on loans more than 90 days past due.  The
Company's  procedures for single family  residential loans which have previously
been sold by the Company but which the Company currently  services are identical
during the first 60 days.  After 60 days, the Company follows the Freddie Mac or
applicable  investor  guidelines  and  timeframes   regarding   delinquent  loan
accounts.


                                       11
<PAGE>

    With respect to commercial real estate and commercial  business  loans,  the
Credit Administration  Department delivers delinquency reports to the respective
departments beginning on the 10th of every month. If a loan payment is more than
20 days late, then the loan officer begins active loan management.

    Classified  Assets.  The  Company's   classification  policies  require  the
classification  of loans and other  assets  such as debt and equity  securities,
considered  to be of lesser  quality,  as  "substandard,"  "doubtful"  or "loss"
assets. An asset is considered  "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by
the current net worth and paying  capacity of the borrower or of the  collateral
pledged, if any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct
possibility  that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
not  corrected.  Assets  classified  as  "doubtful"  have all of the  weaknesses
inherent in those classified as substandard,  with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses  present make  collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of
currently  existing  facts,  conditions  and  values,  highly  questionable  and
improbable.  Assets classified as "loss" are those considered  uncollectible and
of such little value that their  continuance as assets without the establishment
of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  At September 30, 2000, the Company
had  classified  $4.0  million and $2.0 million of assets as  "substandard"  and
"doubtful,"  respectively.  At such date,  the  Company  did not have any assets
classified as "loss."

    At September  30,  2000,  the Company had one lending  relationship  with an
outstanding  principal  balance in excess of $1.0  million  that had an internal
adverse  classification.  The classified loan was a construction loan classified
as "doubtful," with a carrying amount of $2.0 million. The loan is secured by an
office property located in Albany,  New York. As of September 30, 2000, the loan
was on  non-accrual  status and  considered  impaired.  The  Company  has a sale
pending on the property at it's present net realizable  value,  however the sale
is not expected to close until January 2001.

    In addition to  classified  assets,  the Company  also has certain  "special
mention" or "watch  list"  assets that have  characteristics,  features or other
potential  weaknesses  that warrant  special  attention.  At September 30, 2000,
special mention assets totaled $5.2 million, or 0.6% of total assets.

    Non-Performing  Assets.  It is the policy of the  Company to place a loan on
non-accrual  status when the loan is contractually  past due 90 days or more, or
when, in the opinion of management,  the collection of principal and/or interest
is in doubt. At such time, all accrued but unpaid  interest is reversed  against
current  period income and, as long as the loan remains on  non-accrual  status,
interest  is  recognized  only  when  received,  if  considered  appropriate  by
management.  In certain  cases,  the  Company  will not  classify a loan that is
contractually past due 90 days or more as non-accruing if management  determines
that the particular  loan is well secured and in the process of  collection.  In
such cases,  the loan is simply  reported as "past due." Loans are removed  from
non-accrual  status when such loans become  current as to principal and interest
or when,  in the  opinion  of  management,  the loans are  expected  to be fully
collectible  as to principal  and  interest.  The Company did not have any loans
classified  as 90 days past due and still  accruing  interest at  September  30,
2000.  Non-performing loans also include troubled debt restructurings  ("TDRs").
TDRs are loans whose repayment  criteria have been  renegotiated to below market
terms given the credit risk inherent in the loan due to the borrowers' inability
to repay the loans in accordance  with the loans'  original  terms. At September
30, 2000, the Company classified $53,000, or 0.01% of total assets, as TDRs.

    The Company classifies  property that it acquires as a result of foreclosure
or settlement in lieu thereof as other real estate owned  ("OREO").  The Company
records  OREO at the lower of the  unpaid  principal  balance or fair value less
estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition and  subsequently  recognizes
any  decrease in fair value by a charge to income.  At September  30, 2000,  the
Company had $240,000 of OREO resulting from single family  residential  mortgage
loans, and $1.0 million of OREO resulting from commercial real estate loans.

    For the fiscal years ended 2000,  1999 and 1998, the gross  interest  income
that would have been recorded had the non-accrual loans been on an accrual basis
or had the rate not been  reduced  with  respect  to the loans  restructured  in
troubled  debt  restructurings  amounted to $340,000,  $624,000,  and  $591,000,
respectively.  The  amounts  included  in  interest  income on these  loans were
$154,000,  $298,000,  and $411,000 for the fiscal  years ended 2000,  1999,  and
1998, respectively.

    Allowance  for Loan Losses.  In  originating  loans,  there is a substantial
likelihood that loan losses will be  experienced.  The risk of loss varies with,
among  other  things,  general  economic  conditions,  the  type  of  loan,  the
creditworthiness of the borrower and, in the case of a collateralized  loan, the
quality of the  collateral  securing  the loan.  In an effort to  minimize  loan
losses,  the Company  monitors its loan portfolio by reviewing  delinquent loans
and taking  appropriate  measures.  In addition,  with respect to the  Company's
commercial  real estate and  commercial  business  loans,  the  Company  closely
watches all loans with a risk rating that indicates  potential  adverse factors.
Moreover,   on  an  annual  basis,  the  Company  reviews  borrowers'  financial
statements,  including  rent-rolls if  appropriate,  and in some cases  inspects
borrowers' properties, in connection with the annual renewal of lines of credit.
The Company's outside consultant  periodically reviews the credit quality of the
loans in the  Company's  commercial  real estate and  commercial  business  loan
portfolios,  and, together with the Company's  Commercial Loan Credit Committee,
reviews on a quarterly  basis all  classified  loans over  $100,000  with a risk
rating that indicates the loan has certain weaknesses.

    Based on  management's  on-going  review of the  Company's  loan  portfolio,
including the risks inherent in the portfolio,  historical loan loss experience,
general economic conditions and trends and other factors,  the Company maintains
an allowance for loan losses to cover  probable  loan losses.  The allowance for
loan  losses is  established  through a  provision  for loan  losses  charged to
operations.  The  provision  for loan  losses is based upon a number of factors,
including the historical loan loss experience,  changes in the nature and volume
of the loan portfolio,  overall  portfolio  quality,  review of specific problem
loans,  industry trends, and general economic  conditions  affecting  borrowers'
abilities to pay.  Loans are charged  against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of all or a portion of the principal
is  unlikely.  The  allowance  is an amount  that  management  believes  will be
adequate to absorb  probable  losses on  existing  loans.  Based on  information
currently known to management, management considers


                                       13
<PAGE>

the current level of reserves  adequate to cover probable loan losses,  although
there can be no assurance that such reserves will in fact be sufficient to cover
actual losses.  At September 30, 2000,  the Company's  allowance for loan losses
was $11.9 million, or 1.99% of total loans, and 210.35% of non-performing  loans
at that date. Net charge-offs during the year ended September 30, 2000 were $1.4
million.  The Company will continue to monitor and modify its allowance for loan
losses as conditions dictate.

    The following table is a summary of the activity in the Company's  allowance
for loan losses for the last five years:

dates  indicated.  This allocation is based on  management's  assessment as of a
given point in time of the risk  characteristics  of each of the component parts
of the total  loan  portfolio  and is  subject  to  changes as and when the risk
factors of each such component part change. The allocation is neither indicative
of the specific  amounts or the loan categories in which future  charge-offs may
occur nor is it an  indicator  of future  loss  trends.  The  allocation  of the
allowance to each  category does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb
losses in any category.

SECURITIES

    The Company separates its securities portfolio into securities available for
sale and  investment  securities  held to maturity.  At September 30, 2000,  the
Company had $266.8 million, or 28.9% of total assets in securities available for
sale and $2.3 million, or 0.2% of total assets, in investment securities held to
maturity.  These portfolios consist primarily of U.S. government  securities and
agency   obligations,   corporate   debt   securities,   municipal   securities,
mortgage-backed  securities,  mutual  funds and  equity  securities.  Management
determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.
If  management  has the positive  intent and ability to hold debt  securities to
maturity, then they are classified as investment securities held to maturity and
are carried at amortized cost. Securities that are identified as trading account
assets for resale over a short  period are stated at fair value with  unrealized
gains and  losses  reflected  in  current  earnings.  All other  debt and equity
securities are  classified as securities  available for sale and are reported at
fair value,  with net unrealized gains or losses reported,  net of income taxes,
as a separate  component of equity.  At September 30, 2000,  the Company did not
hold any securities considered to be trading securities. As a member of the FHLB
of New York,  the Company is  required  to hold FHLB stock,  which is carried at
cost because the FHLB stock is not marketable and may only be resold to the FHLB
of New York. A July 13, 2000 proposed  regulation by the Federal Housing Finance
Board ("FHFB") would permit  inter-member  transfers of stock, which if approved
could cause the FHLB stock to be accounted for as an available for sale security
requiring  the  Company to mark the FHLB stock to  observed  market  value.  The
decision to accept the proposed  regulation is expected to occur in August 2001,
and member banks would have until August 2004 to implement the regulation, if it
is approved.

    The Company's  investment policy focuses investment decisions on maintaining
a balance of high quality,  diversified investments.  In making its investments,
the Company also  considers  liquidity,  the potential need for collateral to be
used for pledging purposes,  and earnings.  Investment decisions are made by the
Company's  Trust and Investment  Officer who has authority to purchase,  sell or
trade securities  qualifying as eligible investments under applicable law and in
conformance with the Company's  investment  policy.  In addition,  the Company's
Director of Municipal Finance is authorized to purchase municipal securities for
the Company's portfolio.

    Under the Company's  investment policy,  securities eligible for the Company
to purchase  include:  U.S.  Treasury  obligations,  securitized  loans from the
Company's loan portfolio,  municipal securities,  certain corporate obligations,
equity  mutual funds,  common stock,  preferred  stock,  convertible  preferred,
convertible  notes and  bonds,  U.S.  governmental  agency  or agency  sponsored
obligations,   collateralized   mortgage   obligations   and  REMICs,   banker's
acceptances and commercial paper, certificates of deposit and federal funds.

    The  following is a more detailed  discussion  of the  Company's  securities
available for sale and investment securities held to maturity portfolios.

    U.S. Government  Securities and Agency  Obligations.  The Company invests in
U.S.  Treasury   securities,   and  also  debt  securities  and  mortgage-backed
securities issued by government agencies and government  sponsored agencies such
as Fannie Mae, the FHLBs, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac. At September 30, 2000, the
Company held, as available for sale, $161.2 million of non-government guaranteed
bonds issued by the FHLBs,  Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, of which $103.9  million
are discount notes.  These securities had an average yield of 6.47% and of these
securities which were rated, all had ratings of "AAA." The Company's  investment
policy does not limit the amount of U.S.  government and agency obligations that
can be held.

    Corporate Debt Securities. The Company's corporate debt securities portfolio
at September 30, 2000 totaled $13.3 million,  and consisted of general corporate
obligations,  public utility and telephone bonds, and an asset-backed  security.
All of the Company's  corporate debt securities were rated "BBB" or higher,  and
$12.3 million and $1.0 million were classified as available for sale and held to
maturity,  respectively.  The Company's  investment  policy limits the amount of
corporate debt securities to 25% of the Company's total securities  portfolio or
approximately $67.3 million at September 30, 2000.

    Municipal Securities.  At September 30, 2000, $72.1 million of the Company's
securities  consisted of tax-exempt municipal bonds and notes, all of which were
classified  as available  for sale.  Of that $72.1  million,  $43.4 million were
invested in general  obligations of  jurisdictions  in the State of New York, of
which  $37.9  million  represented   relationship  investments  in  54  separate
municipalities,  including counties,  cities, school districts,  towns, villages
and fire  districts.  In addition,  the Company  held $28.7  million in bonds of
various municipalities  throughout the United States. The Company also held $8.3
million in taxable municipal  securities in bonds of  municipalities  within New
York State. The Company's municipal  securities have a weighted average maturity
of 14 months and a taxable  equivalent  yield of 6.94% at  September  30,  2000.
Interest  earned on municipal  bonds is exempt from federal and, in some cases a
portion is excludable from state income taxes. The Company's  investment  policy
limits the amount of municipal  securities to 15% of the Company's  total assets
or approximately $138.3 million at September 30, 2000.

    Mutual Funds and Equity  Securities.  At September  30, 2000,  the Company's
mutual funds and equity securities portfolio totaled $10.7 million, all of which
was  classified  as available  for sale.  The single  largest  investment in one
issuer was $8.8 million of FHLB of New York stock, which the Company is required
to hold as a member  institution.  At September 30, 2000, the Company also had a
$1.1  million   investment   in  equity   securities,   primarily  of  financial
institutions that trade on the major stock exchanges,  and $769,000 in Federated
mutual  funds,  which  invest  primarily  in  the  common  stock  of  nationally
recognized  corporations.  The Company's  investment policy limits the Company's
investments in common stock (other than FHLB stock),  preferred stock and mutual
funds to 3% of the  Company's  total  assets,  or $27.7 million at September 30,
2000. The investment  policy  presently  limits the Company's  investment in the
equity  securities  of any single issuer (other than the FHLB of New York) to 1%
of the  Company's  total  assets or  approximately  $9.2  million  and limits an
investment  in any stock mutual fund to .75% of total  assets  ($6.9  million at
September 30, 2000).

SOURCES OF FUNDS

    The Company's  lending and  investment  activities  are primarily  funded by
deposits, repayments and prepayments of loans and securities,  proceeds from the
sale of loans and securities,  proceeds from maturing  securities and cash flows
from operations.  In addition,  the Company borrows from the FHLB of New York to
fund its operations.

    Deposits.  The Company offers a variety of deposit  accounts with a range of
interest rates and terms.  The Company's  deposit  accounts  consist of interest
bearing checking,  non-interest  bearing checking,  business  checking,  regular
savings,  money market savings and time deposit accounts.  The maturities of the
Company's  time  deposit  accounts  range from three  months to five  years.  In
addition,  the Company  offers IRAs and Keogh  accounts.  To enhance its deposit
products and increase its market share, the Company offers overdraft  protection
and direct deposit for its retail banking customers and cash management services
for its business customers.  In addition, the Company offers a low-cost interest
bearing checking account service to its customers over 55 years of age. Rates on
deposit products are set by the Company's ALCO Committee.

    At September 30, 2000,  the Company's  deposits  totaled  $556.0  million or
80.3% of interest  bearing  liabilities.  At September 30, 2000,  the balance of
core deposits,  which is defined to include NOW accounts, money market accounts,
savings accounts and  non-interest  bearing  checking  accounts,  totaled $337.7
million,  or 60.7% of total  deposits.  At September 30, 2000, the Company had a
total of $218.3 million in time deposit  accounts,  or 39.3% of total  deposits,
and $166.6 million had maturities of one year or less.

    The  flow of  deposits  is  influenced  significantly  by  general  economic
conditions,  changes in interest rates and competition.  The Company's  deposits
are obtained primarily from the six counties in which the Company's branches are
located.  The Company relies


                                       19
<PAGE>
primarily  on the  competitive  pricing of its  deposit  products  and  customer
service and  long-standing  relationships  to attract and retain these deposits,
although  market  interest  rates  and  rates  offered  by  competing  financial
institutions  affect the Company's  ability to attract and retain deposits.  The
Company uses traditional  means of advertising its deposit  products,  including
local radio and print  media,  and does not solicit  deposits  from  outside its
market area.  In fiscal 2000,  the Company  generated  $3.2 million of municipal
deposits through its recently  established  commercial bank. The Company expects
the  Commercial  Bank to continue  providing  an  alternative  source of funding
through the generation of municipal deposits. In addition,  the Company does not
currently use brokers to obtain deposits, and at September 30, 2000, the Company
had no brokered deposits.  However,  the Company may from time-to-time  consider
these funding opportunities.

    At September 30, 2000,  the Company had  outstanding  $218.3 million in time
deposit accounts, maturing as follows:

    Borrowings.  The principal source of the Company's borrowing is through FHLB
advances  and  repurchase  agreements.  The FHLB system  functions  in a reserve
credit capacity for member savings associations and certain other home financing
institutions.  Members of a FHLB are required to own stock in the FHLB,  and, at
September 30, 2000, the Company owned  approximately $8.8 million of FHLB stock.
The Company  uses FHLB  advances as an  alternative  funding  source to fund its
lending activities when it determines that it can profitably invest the borrowed
funds over their term.  As of September  30, 2000,  the Company had  outstanding
FHLB advances of  approximately  $73.0 million.  Such  borrowings had a weighted
average interest rate of 6.16% and a weighted average term of 3.6 years.

    At September 30, 2000, the Company also had $105.8 million of borrowed funds
in the form of securities sold under  agreements to repurchase,  of which $102.4
million was entered into with the FHLB. All securities  repurchase agreements at
September 30, 2000 mature within ninety days, and had a weighted average rate of
6.42%. In prior years, the Company entered into these agreements generally as an
accommodation  to  its  business  customers,   however  in  fiscal  2000,  these
agreements  were  entered  into with the FHLB as a more  significant  short-term
funding source.

TRUST SERVICES

    The  Trust  Department  of the  Company  offers a full  range  of  services,
including  living  trusts,  executor  services,  testamentary  trusts,  employee
benefit plan management,  custody services and investment management,  primarily
to  corporations,  unions  and  other  institutions.  The Trust  Department  has
retained the services of two  independent  financial  services  firms to provide
investment advice and to ratify the decisions of the Trust Department. Operation
of the Trust  Department is overseen by a Trust  Committee  that consists of two
trust  officers and four members of the Company's  Board of Directors who rotate
on a semi-annual  basis. The Trust  Department  markets its services through its
trust officers who call on the Company's existing customers, the Company's CSSRs
and branch  managers who cross-sell the Trust  Department's  services,  and free
seminars  open to the public.  As of September  30, 2000,  the Trust  Department
managed over $373.5 million of assets,  which includes $132.5 million over which
the  Trust  Department  has  discretionary   investment  authority.   The  Trust
Department's fee income, which totaled $704,000 for the year ended September 30,
2000, supplements the Company's rate-sensitive interest income.

SAVINGS BANK LIFE INSURANCE

    As of January 2000,  the Savings Bank Life  Insurance  Department  ("SBLI"),
became  part of a new  corporation,  SBLI U.S.A.  Life  Insurance  Company.  The
Company will  continue to offer a wide variety of low-cost  insurance  policies,
including whole life,  single premium life,  senior life and children's term, to
its  customers  who live or work in the State of New York.  Management  believes
that  offering  SBLI  is  beneficial  to the  Company's  relationship  with  its
customers.  The Company receives commission income from the sale and the renewal
of life insurance policies.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES

    The  following  are   descriptions   of  the  Savings  Bank's  wholly  owned
subsidiaries, which are indirectly owned by Troy Financial.

    The Family Investment  Services Co., Inc. The Family Investment Services Co.
("FISC"),  which was incorporated in May 1989, is the Savings Bank's wholly owed
full-service  brokerage firm, offering a complete range of investment  products,
including  mutual  funds  and  debt,  equity  and  government  securities,  on a
fee-per-transaction basis. FISC's goal is to market its products and services to
the Company's existing customers who seek alternatives to traditional  financial
institution  savings  products.  As a  complement  to  the  Company's  municipal
investment  activities,  FISC intends to begin  underwriting  general obligation
securities of state and political subdivisions. FISC has two full time employees
who interface with the Company's branches to facilitate referrals from the CSSRs
and  branch  managers,  as  well  as one  officer  who  assists  customers  with
investment  decisions  and  trading.  As of  September  30,  2000,  FISC managed
approximately $70.0 million of customer assets. FISC is a member of the National
Association  of Securities  Dealers and is insured by the  Securities  Insurance
Protection Corporation.

    Family Mortgage Banking Co., Inc. FMB, which was incorporated in April 1987,
is the Savings  Bank's wholly owned  mortgage  banking  subsidiary.  The Company
originates  the  majority  of  its  residential   real  estate  and  residential
construction loans through applications received from commissioned  employees of
FMB.

    Other  Subsidiaries.   The  Savings  Bank  has  eleven  other  wholly  owned
subsidiaries:  The Family Advertising Co. is an advertising agency; T.S. Capital
is licensed by the Small Business  Administration as a Small Business Investment
Corporation in order to offer small  business loans and make equity  investments
in small businesses;  The Family Insurance  Agency,  Inc. is an insurance agency
that  offers a full  range of life and  health  insurance  products,  as well as
taxed-deferred  annuities; and T.S. Real Property Inc., Troy SB Real Estate Co.,
32 Second Street Inc.,  Camel Hill  Corporation,  507 Heights  Corp.  and Realty
Umbrella,  Ltd.  are all related to the  management  of, or  investment  in, the
Company's  foreclosed or purchased  real estate.  Troy Realty Funding Corp. is a
real estate investment trust formed in 1999. The Savings Bank funded Troy Realty
Funding  Corp.  with  approximately  $197  million  in  commercial  real  estate
mortgages.  The interest  income earned on those assets is passed through to the
Savings Bank in the form of dividends.  In fiscal 2000,  the Savings Bank formed
T.S.B.  Real  Property,  Inc.  to acquire a 50%  non-controlling  interest  in a
limited liability company ("LLC") that will own and develop office buildings for
sale or lease within the Company's  market area.  The Savings Bank funded T.S.B.
Real  Property,  Inc. with $2.0 million of cash.  The carrying  amount of T.S.B.
Real Property's 50% interest in the LLC at September 30, 2000 was  approximately
$1.65 million.

COMPETITION

    The Company faces  significant  competition for both deposits and loans. The
deregulation  of the  financial  services  industry and the  commoditization  of
savings and lending  products has led to increased  competition  among banks and
other  financial  institutions  for a  significant  portion of the  deposit  and
lending  activity  that had  traditionally  been the arena of savings  banks and
savings and loan  associations.  The Company  competes for  deposits  with other
savings banks,  savings and loan associations,  commercial banks, credit unions,
money market and other mutual funds,  insurance  companies,  brokerage firms and
other financial institutions, many of which are substantially larger in size and
have greater financial resources than the Company.

    The Company's  competition for loans comes  principally  from savings banks,
savings and loan associations,  commercial banks, mortgage banks, credit unions,
finance companies and other institutional lenders, many of whom maintain offices
in the Company's market area. The Company's  principal  strategy to address this
competition   includes   providing   competitive   loan  and  deposit   pricing,
personalized  customer  service,  access to senior management of the Company and
continuity of banking relationships.

    Although  the  Company  is  subject  to  competition  from  other  financial
institutions, some of which have much greater financial and marketing resources,
the  Company  believes it  benefits  by its  position  as a  community  oriented
financial  services  provider  with a long  history of serving its market  area.
Management  believes that the variety,  depth and  stability of the  communities
that the Company services support the service and lending  activities  conducted
by the Company.

REGULATION

    Troy  Financial,  as a bank  holding  company,  is  subject  to  regulation,
supervision,  and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The Savings Bank, as

BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION

    Troy  Financial  is a  bank  holding  company  subject  to  the  regulation,
supervision,  and  examination  of the Federal  Reserve  under the Bank  Holding
Company  Act.  Troy  Financial  is required to file  periodic  reports and other
information  with the  Federal  Reserve,  and the  Federal  Reserve  may conduct
examinations of Troy Financial and the subsidiary banks.

    Troy  Financial  is subject to capital  adequacy  guidelines  of the Federal
Reserve.  The guidelines apply on a consolidated  basis and require bank holding
companies to maintain a ratio of tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.0% to 5.0%.
There is a minimum  ratio of 3.0%  established  for the most  highly  rated bank
holding  companies.  The Federal  Reserve's  capital  adequacy  guidelines  also
require bank holding  companies to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying  total
capital to  risk-weighted  assets of 8.0%, and a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital
to  risk-weighted  assets of 4.0%.  As of September 30, 2000,  Troy  Financial's
ratio of tier 1 capital to total assets was 19.88%,  its ratio of tier 1 capital
to risk-weighted assets was 25.01%, and its ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets was 26.28%.

    Troy Financial's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and expand its
line  of  business  through  the  acquisition  of  new  banking  or  non-banking
subsidiaries can be restricted if its capital falls below levels  established by
the Federal Reserve's  guidelines.  In addition,  any bank holding company whose
capital  falls  below  levels  specified  in the  guidelines  can be required to
implement a plan to increase capital.

    The Federal  Reserve is empowered to initiate  cease and desist  proceedings
and other supervisory actions for violations of the Bank Holding Company Act, or
the Federal Reserve's  regulations,  orders or notices issued thereunder.  Under
Federal Reserve  regulations,  bank holding  companies which do not meet minimum
capital  adequacy  guidelines  are  considered  to be  undercapitalized  and are
required to submit an acceptable plan for achieving capital adequacy.

    Federal  Reserve  approval is required  if Troy  Financial  seeks to acquire
direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of a bank if, after
such  acquisition,  Troy Financial  would own or control  directly or indirectly
more than 5% of the voting stock of the bank. Federal Reserve approval also must
be obtained if a bank holding company acquires all or  substantially  all of the
assets of a bank or merges or consolidates with another bank holding company.

    Bank holding  companies  like Troy Financial are currently  prohibited  from
engaging in activities  other than banking and activities so closely  related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The
Federal Reserve regulations contain a list of permissible non-banking activities
that are  closely  related to banking or managing or  controlling  banks.  These
activities  include  lending  activities,  certain data  processing  activities,
securities  brokerage and investment  advisory  services,  trust  activities and
leasing  activities.  A bank holding  company must file an application or notice
with the Federal Reserve prior to acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of
a company engaged in such activities.

    On November 12, 1999,  President  Clinton  signed  legislation to reform the
U.S.  banking laws,  including the Bank Holding Company Act. The changes made to
the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  by  this  legislation,   referred  to  as  the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act,  became  effective  on March 11,  2000,  and expand the
permissible  activities of bank holding  companies under certain  circumstances.
Bank holding companies that meet certain  conditions are now permitted to engage
in  activities   that  are  financial  in  nature  or  incidental  to  financial
activities,  or activities that are complementary to a financial activity and do
not  pose  a  substantial  risk  to  the  safety  and  soundness  of  depository
institutions  or the financial  system  generally.  The  legislation  identifies
certain  activities  that  are  deemed  to be  financial  in  nature,  including
non-banking  activities  currently  permissible  for bank  holding  companies to
engage in both within and outside the United  States,  as well as insurance  and
securities underwriting and merchant banking activities.  The Federal Reserve is
authorized  under the  legislation to identify  additional  activities  that are
permissible  financial   activities,   but  only  after  consultation  with  the
Department  of the  Treasury.  No prior notice to the Federal  Reserve  would be
required to acquire a company  engaging in these activities or to commence these
activities directly or indirectly through a subsidiary.

    In order to take  advantage of this new  authority,  a bank holding  company
must elect to be treated  as a  financial  holding  company  and its  depository
institution  subsidiaries  must be well capitalized and well managed and have at
least a satisfactory record of performance under the Community Reinvestment Act.
Troy  Financial  has not  elected to be treated as a financial  holding  company
since it has no current  plans to use the new  authority  to engage in  expanded
activities.

    Under the Change in Bank Control Act,  persons who intend to acquire control
of a bank  holding  company,  either  directly  or  indirectly  or through or in
concert with one or more persons, must give 60 days' prior written notice to the
Federal  Reserve.  "Control"  would exist when an  acquiring  party  directly or
indirectly  has  voting  control  of at  least  25% of Troy  Financial's  voting
securities  or the power to direct the  management  or policies of the  company.
Under Federal Reserve regulations, a rebuttable presumption of


                                       22
<PAGE>

control would arise with respect to an acquisition where, after the transaction,
the  acquiring  party has  ownership,  control or the power to vote at least 10%
(but less than 25%) of Troy Financial's common stock.

    The New York  Banking Law  requires  prior  approval of the New York Banking
Board  before any action is taken that causes any  company to acquire  direct or
indirect control of a banking  institution that is organized in the State of New
York.  The term  "control"  is defined  generally to mean the power to direct or
cause the direction of the  management  and policies of the banking  institution
and is presumed to exist if the  company  owns,  controls or holds with power to
vote 10% or more of the voting stock of the banking institution.

BANK REGULATION

    The Savings  Bank and the  Commercial  Bank  (together  the "Banks") are New
York-chartered  institutions,  and their  deposit  accounts  are  insured  up to
applicable  limits by the FDIC under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").  The Banks
are subject to extensive regulation by the NYSBD as their chartering agency, and
by the FDIC as the deposit  insurer.  The Banks must file reports with the NYSBD
and the FDIC concerning their activities and financial condition,  and they must
obtain regulatory approval prior to entering into certain transactions,  such as
mergers with, or acquisitions of, other  depository  institutions and opening or
acquiring branch offices.  The NYSBD and the FDIC conduct periodic  examinations
to assess the Banks'  compliance  with  various  regulatory  requirements.  This
regulation  and  supervision  is intended  primarily  for the  protection of the
deposit  insurance  funds  and  depositors.   The  regulatory  authorities  have
extensive  discretion in connection  with the exercise of their  supervisory and
enforcement  activities,  including  the setting of policies with respect to the
classification  of assets and the  establishment  of adequate loan loss reserves
for regulatory purposes.

    The Banks derive their lending,  investment and other powers  primarily from
the  applicable  provisions  of the New  York  Banking  Law and the  regulations
adopted  thereunder.  Under these laws and  regulations,  the  Savings  Bank may
invest in real estate mortgages, consumer and commercial loans, certain types of
debt securities,  including certain corporate debt securities and obligations of
federal,  state and local  governments and agencies,  certain types of corporate
equity  securities  and certain other assets.  It also may exercise trust powers
upon approval of the NYSBD.  The Commercial Bank currently limits its activities
to accepting municipal deposits, originating and acquiring commercial loans, and
acquiring municipal and other investment securities and loan participations.

    Under the New York  Banking  Law,  the Banks are not  permitted  to declare,
credit or pay any dividends if capital stock is impaired or would be impaired as
a result of the  dividend.  In addition,  the New York Banking Law provides that
the Banks cannot  declare and pay  dividends  in any calendar  year in excess of
their "net profits" for such year combined with their  "retained net profits" of
the two preceding years, less any required transfer to surplus or a fund for the
retirement of preferred stock, without prior regulatory approval.

    The Banks are subject to minimum  capital  requirements  imposed by the FDIC
that are  substantially  similar  to the  capital  requirements  imposed on Troy
Financial.  The FDIC regulations require that the Banks maintain a minimum ratio
of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and a minimum ratio
of tier 1 capital  to  risk-weighted  assets  of 4.0%.  In  addition,  under the
minimum  leverage-based  capital requirement adopted by the FDIC, the Banks must
maintain a ratio of tier 1 capital to average total assets  (leverage  ratio) of
at  least  3% to 5%,  depending  on the  Banks'  CAMELS  rating.  As a  recently
chartered  bank, the Commercial  Bank must maintain a leverage ratio of at least
8% during its first three years of  operations.  As of September  30, 2000,  the
Savings Bank's ratio of total capital to  risk-weighted  assets was 14.16%,  its
ratio of tier 1 capital to  risk-weighted  assets was  19.12%,  and its ratio of
tier 1 capital to average total assets was 20.38%. As of September 30, 2000, the
Commercial Bank's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 97.82%, its
ratio of tier 1 capital to  risk-weighted  assets was  97.82%,  and its ratio of
tier 1 capital to average total assets was 150.88%.  Capital requirements higher
than the generally  applicable  minimum  requirements  may be established  for a
particular  bank if the FDIC determines that a bank's capital is, or may become,
inadequate  in view of its  particular  circumstances.  Failure to meet  capital
guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement  actions,  including
actions under the FDIC's prompt corrective action regulations.

    State banks are limited in their  investments  and activities  engaged in as
principal  to  those  permissible  under  applicable  state  law  and  that  are
permissible for national banks and their  subsidiaries,  unless such investments
and activities are specifically  permitted by the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act
or  the  FDIC  determines  that  such  activity  or  investment  would  pose  no
significant risk to the BIF. The FDIC has by regulation  determined that certain
real estate investment and securities  underwriting  activities do not present a
significant  risk to the BIF provided they are conducted in accordance  with the
regulations.  Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which became effective on
March 11, 2000, expanded the permissible activities of national banks to include
the  activities  noted above that are  permissible  for bank holding  companies,
other than insurance underwriting,  merchant banking and real estate development
or investment activities.


                                       23
<PAGE>
    The FDIC, as well as the NYSBD,  has extensive  enforcement  authority  over
insured  savings and commercial  banks,  including the Banks.  This  enforcement
authority  includes,  among  other  things,  the  ability to assess  civil money
penalties,  to issue  cease  and  desist  orders  and to  remove  directors  and
officers. In general,  these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to
violations of laws and regulations and to unsafe or unsound practices.

    The Banks are subject to quarterly payments on semiannual  insurance premium
assessments  for its FDIC deposit  insurance.  The FDIC  implements a risk-based
deposit  insurance   assessment  system.   Deposit  insurance  assessment  rates
currently  are  within a range of $0.00 to $0.27 per $100 of  insured  deposits,
depending on the assessment risk  classification  assigned to each  institution.
Under current FDIC  assessment  guidelines,  the Banks expect that they will not
incur any FDIC  deposit  insurance  assessments  during  the next  fiscal  year,
although the current system for assigning  assessment  risk  classifications  to
insured  depository  institutions  is being reviewed by the FDIC and the deposit
insurance  assessments are subject to change.  The Banks are subject to separate
assessments  to  repay  bonds  ("FICO  bonds")  issued  in the  late  1980's  to
recapitalize  the former  Federal  Savings and Loan Insurance  Corporation.  The
annual rate of  assessments  for the  payments on the FICO bonds for the quarter
beginning on October 1, 2000 is 2.02 basis points for BIF-assessable deposits.

    Transactions  between the Banks and any of their affiliates  (including Troy
Financial)  are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal  Reserve Act. An
affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls,  is controlled by or
is under common control with the bank. A subsidiary of a bank that is not also a
depository  institution is not treated as an affiliate of a bank for purposes of
Sections  23A and 23B unless it  engages in  activities  not  permissible  for a
national bank to engage in directly.  Generally,  Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit
the  extent  to  which  a bank  or  its  subsidiaries  may  engage  in  "covered
transactions"  with  any  one  affiliate  to an  amount  equal  to 10%  of  such
institution's  capital stock and surplus,  and limit such  transactions with all
affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus, and (ii)
require that all such transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and
sound banking practices.  The term "covered  transaction" includes the making of
loans, purchase of or investment in securities issued by the affiliate, purchase
of assets, issuance of guarantees and other similar types of transactions.  Most
loans  by a bank to any of its  affiliates  must be  secured  by  collateral  in
amounts  ranging  from 100 to 130 percent of the loan  amount,  depending on the
nature of the collateral. In addition, any covered transaction by a bank with an
affiliate  and any sale of assets or provision of services to an affiliate  must
be on terms that are  substantially  the same, or at least as favorable,  to the
bank  as  those  prevailing  at  the  time  for  comparable   transactions  with
nonaffiliated  companies.  The Banks are also  restricted  in the loans they may
make to their executive officers,  directors,  any owner of 10% or more of their
stock and to certain entities affiliated with any such person.

    The Banks are subject to certain  FDIC  standards  designed to maintain  the
safety and soundness of individual  banks and the banking  system.  The FDIC has
prescribed safety and soundness  guidelines  relating to (i) internal  controls,
information systems and internal audit systems;  (ii) loan documentation;  (iii)
credit underwriting;  (iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth and quality;
(vi)  earnings;  and (vii)  compensation  and benefit  standards  for  officers,
directors,  employees and principal  stockholders.  A state  nonmember  bank not
meeting one or more of the safety and  soundness  guidelines  may be required to
file a compliance plan with the FDIC.

    Under the FDIC's prompt corrective action regulations,  insured institutions
will  be  considered  (i)  "well  capitalized"  if the  institution  has a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
6% or  greater,  and a  leverage  ratio  of 5% or  greater  (provided  that  the
institution is not subject to an order, written agreement,  capital directive or
prompt  corrective  action  directive to meet and  maintain a specified  capital
level for any capital measure), (ii) "adequately capitalized" if the institution
has a total  risk-based  capital  ratio of 8% or  greater,  a Tier 1 risk  based
capital  ratio of 4% or  greater  and a leverage  ratio of 4% or greater  (3% or
greater if the institution is rated composite CAMELS 1 in its most recent report
of examination  and is not  experiencing or  anticipating  significant  growth),
(iii) "undercapitalized" if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio
that is  less  than  8%,  or a Tier 1  risk-based  ratio  of less  than 4% and a
leverage ratio that is less than 4% (3% if the  institution  is rated  composite
CAMELS 1 in its most recent report of  examination  and is not  experiencing  or
anticipating  significant growth), (iv) "significantly  undercapitalized" if the
institution  has a total  risk-based  capital ratio that is less than 6%, Tier 1
risk-based  capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage  ratio that is less than
3%, and (v)  "critically  undercapitalized"  if the  institution  has a ratio of
tangible  equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. Under certain
circumstances,  the  FDIC  can  reclassify  a well  capitalized  institution  as
adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized  institution or
an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were
in the  next  lower  category  (except  that  the  FDIC  may  not  reclassify  a
significantly  undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).  At
September  30,  2000,   each  Bank  was  classified  as  a  "well   capitalized"
institution.
    An  institution  that  is  categorized  as  undercapitalized,  significantly
undercapitalized,  or  critically  undercapitalized  is  required  to  submit an
acceptable capital  restoration plan to its appropriate  federal banking agency,
which would be the FDIC for the Banks. An  undercapitalized  institution also is
generally   prohibited  from   increasing  its  average  total  assets,   making
acquisitions,  establishing  any  branches,  or  engaging  in any  new  line  of
business, except in accordance with an accepted capital restoration plan or with
the approval                           24
<PAGE>

of the FDIC. In addition,  the FDIC may take any other action that it determines
will better carry out the purpose of prompt corrective action initiatives.

     The Banks  are not  permitted  to pay  dividends  if, as the  result of the
payment, they would become undercapitalized, as defined in the prompt corrective
action   regulations   of  the  FDIC.   In   addition,   if  the  Banks   become
"undercapitalized"  under  these  regulations,  payment  of  dividends  would be
prohibited  without the prior  approval  of the FDIC.  Either Bank also could be
subject to these dividend  restrictions  if the FDIC determines that the Bank is
in an unsafe or unsound condition or engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.

     Under  Federal  Reserve  regulations,  the Banks are  required  to maintain
non-interest-earning  reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW
and regular checking  accounts).  The Federal Reserve  regulations  require that
reserves of 3% must be  maintained  against  aggregate  transaction  accounts of
$44.3 million or less (subject to adjustment by the Federal  Reserve).  Reserves
of 10% (subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve between 8% and 14%) must be
maintained against that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of $44.3
million.  The first $5 million of  otherwise  reservable  balances  (subject  to
adjustment by the Federal  Reserve) are exempted from the reserve  requirements.
The Banks are in compliance with the foregoing  requirements.  Because  required
reserves   must  be   maintained   in  the  form  of  either   vault   cash,   a
non-interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank or a pass-through account
as defined by the Federal Reserve,  the effect of this reserve requirement is to
reduce the Banks' interest-earning assets.

     The Savings Bank is a member of the FHLB System.  The FHLB System  consists
of 12 regional  Federal Home Loan Banks and provides a central  credit  facility
primarily for member institutions.  The Savings Bank, as a member of FHLB of New
York, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of New
York in an amount equal to the greater of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount
of its unpaid  residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts and similar
obligations  at the  beginning of each year, 5% of its FHLB of New York advances
outstanding,  or one per cent of thirty per cent of total  assets.  At September
30, 2000, the Savings Bank owned $8.8 million of FHLB of New York common stock.

    Advances from the FHLB of New York are secured by a member's shares of stock
in the  FHLB of New York  and  certain  types of  mortgages  and  other  assets.
Interest  rates  charged for advances vary  depending  upon maturity and cost of
funds to the FHLB of New York.  As of September  30, 2000,  the Savings Bank had
$73.0 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of New York.

EMPLOYEES

    At  September  30,  2000,  the Company had 217  full-time  employees  and 32
part-time  employees.  The  Company's  employees  are  not  represented  by  any
collective bargaining group.
