  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

  The Board of Directors and Shareholders
  TrustCo Bank Corp NY:

  We have reviewed the consolidated  statement of financial condition of TrustCo
  Bank Corp NY and  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  as of June 30,  1996,  and the
  related  consolidated  statements  of income for the three month and six month
  periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated  statements of cash
  flows  for the  six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995.  These
  consolidated  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the Company's
  management.

  We  conducted  our review in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review of  interim
  financial  information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures
  to financial data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial
  and  accounting  matters.  It is  substantially  less in  scope  than an audit
  conducted in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the
  objective of which is the  expression  of an opinion  regarding  the financial
  statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

  Based on our  review,  we are not  aware of any  material  modifications  that
  should be made to the consolidated  financial statements referred to above for
  them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  We have previously  audited,  in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
  standards,  the consolidated  statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank
  Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and the related  consolidated
  statements of income,  changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the
  year then ended (not  presented  herein);  and in our report dated January 26,
  1996,  we expressed an  unqualified  opinion on those  consolidated  financial
  statements.  In our opinion,  the  information  set forth in the  accompanying
  consolidated  statement  of financial  condition  as of December 31, 1995,  is
  fairly presented,  in all material  respects,  in relation to the consolidated
  statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

                              TrustCo Bank Corp NY
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  June 30, 1996

  The  review  that  follows  focuses on the  factors  affecting  the  financial
  condition  and results of  operations of TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo " or "
  Company")  during the three month and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996,
  with  comparisons to 1995 as applicable.  Net interest income and net interest
  margin are presented on a fully taxable  equivalent  basis in this discussion.
  The consolidated  interim  financial  statements and related notes, as well as
  the 1995 Annual Report to  Shareholders,  should be read in  conjunction  with
  this review.  Certain amounts in years prior to 1996 have been reclassified to
  conform to the 1996 presentation. Per share results have all been adjusted for
  the 6 for 5 stock split effective August 1995.

  Overview
  TrustCo recorded net income of $6.9 million,  or $0.38 per share for the three
  month period  ended June 30,  1996,  as compared to net income of $6.1 million
  and per share earnings of $0.34 for the same time period in 1995.

  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,  TrustCo  recorded net income of $13.6
  million or $0.75 per share  compared  to $12.0  million and $0.67 per share in
  the comparable period in 1995.

  The primary  factors  accounting  for the year to date  increase in net income
are:
     -
    |_|     a 10.2% increase in average earning assets,
    |_|     reduction in the provision for loan losses by $2.7 million,
    |_|     increase in noninterest income (excluding the effects of securities
     _      transactions) by approximately $400,000, and
    |_|     the reduction in noninterest expense of $2.5 million.

  These positive factors affecting net income were offset by the following:
     _
    |_|     reduction in the net interest  margin from 4.35% to 4.14%,
    |_|     loss on securities sales of $3.1 million,  and
    |_|     an increase in income tax expense of $2.0 million.

  Asset/Liability Management
  The Company strives to generate superior earnings  capabilities  through a mix
  of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning assets. This is, in its most
  fundamental  form, the essence of  asset/liability  management.  Additionally,
  TrustCo attempts to maintain  adequate  liquidity and reduce, to an acceptable
  level,  the  sensitivity  of net interest  income to changes in interest rates
  while enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long-term basis.

  TrustCo Bank Corp NY
  Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued
  June 30, 1996


  Earning Assets
  The average  balance of earning  assets  increased  by $185.5  million to $2.1
  billion  during the second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. The average yield
  on these  earning  assets  was 7.95%  compared  to 8.30% in 1995.  For the six
  months ended June 30, 1996, the average balance of earning assets increased by
  $195.5  million  to $2.1  billion.  Included  in the tables  "Distribution  of
  Assets,  Liabilities  and  Shareholders'  Equity:Interest  Rates and  Interest
  Differential" is a detailed  breakdown of TrustCo's average earning assets and
  interest  bearing  liabilities for the three month and six month periods ended
  June 30, 1996 and 1995. The remainder of this  discussion will utilize average
  balances for 1996 and 1995 as detailed on these tables.

  Loans
  During the second quarter,  the average balance of loans increased from $1.172
  billion in 1995 to $1.227 billion in 1996,  representing a 4.8% increase.  The
  average yield on the loan  portfolio  decreased from 9.12% in 1995 to 8.76% in
  1996. The  combination of the increase in average balance and the reduction in
  the yield  produced a modest  increase  in income from the loan  portfolio  to
  $26.8 million.

  Virtually  all of the growth in the loan  portfolio  was  centered in the real
  estate loan  balances,  which  increased  from  $695.9  million for the second
  quarter of 1995 to $780.5  million for the comparable  1996 period.  TrustCo's
  aggressive  marketing of these loans,  combined with quick decision  making on
  applications  and low closing costs,  allowed the Company to grow this portion
  of the loan portfolio.

  Also during the quarter,  the home equity credit line balances  decreased 8.2%
  from  $204.9  million in 1995 to $188.1  million  for 1996.  The yield on this
  portfolio also decreased from 10.34% in 1995 to 9.18% in 1996. The decrease in
  yield  reflects  changes made by TrustCo to respond to  competition  which was
  offering  lower overall rates on this  product.  Competition  for this type of
  loan  product is very  strong  since all of the local and  national  financial
  institutions try to attract customers to their home equity loan products.

  The same  trends  noted  during the  quarter  are  evident in the year to date
  results.  Overall,  the loan  portfolio  balances  increased by 5.1% to $1.227
  billion  in 1996.  This  increase  in  outstanding  balances  was  offset by a
  reduction  in the overall  yield on the loan  portfolio  from 9.07% in 1995 to
  8.79% in 1996.  Income  from the loan  portfolio  for the six  months  of 1996
  amounted to $53.9  million,  an increase of $1.1 million  over the  comparable
  period in 1995.

  The  Company  is a retail  oriented  institution,  and as such,  stresses  the
  importance of consumer oriented products such as the residential mortgage loan
  , home equity  loan,  and credit  cards.  Each of these areas is an  important
  contributor to profitability at TrustCo and is

  TrustCo Bank Corp NY
  Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued
  June 30, 1996


  a focus of continued  marketing  and product  development,  so as to result in
  increases in the balances outstanding. The second quarter and the year to date
  results  reflect  this  focus.  TrustCo  aggressively  pursues  the fixed rate
  residential   mortgage  loan  market.  The  Company  has  a  long  history  in
  underwriting  loans in this market territory and is confident that the average
  life of these loans is  significantly  shorter than the contractual  maturity.
  This asset  portfolio  is an  excellent  investment  in  relation  to the core
  deposit base that TrustCo attracts.

  Securities Available for Sale
  During the second quarter of 1996 the average balance of securities  available
  for sale was  $631.1  million,  versus an average  balance  for 1995 of $251.7
  million. The yield earned on these assets in 1996 was 7.56%, compared to 7.75%
  in 1995. The change in average balance and the change in rates earned resulted
  in an increase in interest  income on  securities  available  for sale of $7.1
  million.  Most of the  increase in the balance  outstanding  was the result of
  action taken in December 1995 when the Company  transferred the entire held to
  maturity securities  portfolio to the securities  available for sale portfolio
  as permitted by changes in the accounting for  securities.  This action allows
  the Company to take full advantage of continuing  changes in interest rates to
  maximize  the  overall  yield  on the  portfolio  while  providing  additional
  liquidity.

  As a  comparison  between  1996 and 1995,  the overall  yield  appears to have
  dropped. However, when the available for sale portfolio yield is combined with
  the 1995 yield for investment securities, the combined yield for 1995's second
  quarter was 7.40% compared to the 7.56% earned on the comparable  portfolio in
  1996.

  The six month  average  balance of  securities  available  for sale was $630.0
  million in 1996 with a yield of 7.53%,  compared to an average balance for the
  six months of 1995 of $193.8 million and a yield of 7.72%.  As with the second
  quarter,  the year to date results for 1995 compared to 1996 are significantly
  affected by the changes made in late 1995 to the portfolio of securities  held
  to maturity. Therefore, for 1995, if the portfolio of securities available for
  sale is combined  with the  portfolio  of  securities  held to  maturity,  the
  overall yield was 7.35%,  compared to the comparable portfolio for 1996 with a
  yield of 7.53%.

  Investment Securities
  There are no securities classified as investment securities for 1996. For 1995
  the second  quarter and the year to date  results are  detailed on the average
  balance tables.

  Federal Funds Sold
  During the second quarter the average balance of federal funds sold was $280.2
  million,  compared to $193.8  million in 1995. The yield earned on these asset
  balances  during the quarter was 5.33% in 1996,  and 6.09% in 1995.  The yield
  earned by these investments is

  directly tied to the target  federal funds rate as  established by the Federal
  Reserve  Board.  The  increase  in the average  balances  more than offset the
  reduction in the average yield,  thereby  producing an approximately  $800,000
  increase in the interest income on this investment.

  For the six month results the average balance and yield was $262.3 million and
  5.38% in 1996, and $223.2 million and 5.98% in 1995, respectively.

  The  increases in the average  balances for 1996 compared to 1995 for both the
  quarter  and year to date  results  reflect  management's  decision  to remain
  relatively  liquid  during  1996 as  market  interest  rates  in the  loan and
  securities  portfolios  were  increasing.   This  positions  TrustCo  to  take
  advantage of these  higher  rates when the  decision is made to reinvest  this
  excess liquidity.

  Income from Earning Assets
  Income from earning assets increased by 4.9% during the second quarter of 1996
  compared to 1995. The increase in the average balance of earning assets during
  the quarter offset the decrease in the yields earned.  Similarly,  the year to
  date  results  reflect an increase of 7.0% in the income from  earning  assets
  between 1996 and 1995.

  Funding Opportunities
  TrustCo  utilizes  various  funding  sources to  support  its  earning  assets
  portfolio.  The vast majority of the Company's  funding comes from traditional
  deposit vehicles such as savings, NOW and time deposit accounts. Also, TrustCo
  developed a Short Term  Investment  Account  which was  introduced  during the
  second  quarter of 1995.  This  account is  available  for  deposits  from the
  TrustCo Trust Department.

  During the quarter,  total interest bearing liabilities  increased from $1.761
  billion in 1995 to $1.925 billion in 1996. This increase in balance was offset
  by a  reduction  in cost on these  liabilities  from 4.53% in 1995 to 4.24% in
  1996.  The growth in the  average  balances  was  principally  in the  savings
  account  and  time  account  categories  of  deposits  and in the  short  term
  borrowings (principally the Trustco Short Term Investment Account).

  The six month results reflect the same trends as noted for the quarter.

  Growth in deposit balances resulted from successful  marketing and advertising
  campaigns  undertaken  during the first quarter of 1995 in both CD and savings
  products,  which  continued  to  attract  deposits  throughout  the  year.  In
  TrustCo's past experience,  deposits  gathered as the result of these types of
  campaigns  tend to become a very stable source of core  customers who maintain
  their deposit  relationship  with the Company  through  various  interest rate
  cycles  and  provide   opportunities  for  cross  selling  additional  banking
  services.

  Net Interest Income
  Taxable  equivalent net interest  income totalled $22.2 million for the second
  quarter of 1996,  compared  to $20.6  million  in 1995.  For the six months of
  1996,  taxable  equivalent net interest income totalled $43.9 million compared
  to $42.0 million in 1995.

  The net interest  margin for the second quarter was 4.14% in 1996 and 4.22% in
  1995. For the six month periods, the net interest margin was 4.14% in 1996 and
  4.35 % in 1995.

  Nonperforming Assets
  Nonperforming  assets include  nonperforming  loans which are those loans in a
  nonaccrual  status,  loans that have been  restructured  and loans past due 90
  days or more and  still  accruing  interest.  Also  included  in the  total of
  nonperforming  assets  are  foreclosed  real  estate  properties,   which  are
  categorized as real estate owned.

  Impaired  loans are defined as those  commercial  and  commercial  real estate
  loans in a nonaccrual  status and loans  restructured  since  January 1, 1995,
  when   newly   effective    accounting   standards   required   changing   the
  identification,  measurement  and reporting of impaired  loans and loans whose
  terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  The following will
  describe the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of June 30, 1996.

  Nonperforming loans: Total nonperforming loans were $ 13.9 million at June 30,
  1996, down from $15.7 million at year end 1995, but up slightly from the $13.3
  million at June 30,  1995.  Nonaccrual  loans  were $10.8  million at June 30,
  1996, compared to $12.8 million at year end 1995 and $10.4 million at June 30,
  1995.  Restructured  loans  amounted to $ 2.1 million at June 30,  1996,  $1.1
  million at year end 1995,  and $1.4 million at June 30,  1995.  Changes in the
  nonperforming  loans since year end 1995 have principally been the transfer of
  one commercial real estate property in excess of $2 million to the category of
  foreclosed  real  estate.  This loan is well secured and  management  does not
  anticipate any loss on the disposal of this property.

  Total  commercial and commercial  real estate impaired loans were $6.1 million
  at June 30, 1996,  and together  with the newly  restructured  retail loans of
  $2.1 million,  represent the Company's impaired loans at June 30, 1996. Of the
  $13.9  million  nonperforming  loans  at June  30,  1996,  $8.2  million  were
  identified  as  being  impaired,  leaving  $5.7  million  of  loans  that  are
  nonperforming retail loan products and commercial loans that are past due more
  than 90 days and still accruing  interest.  TrustCo does not consider these to
  be impaired  loans.  At June 30, 1996,  there are $4.6 million of  residential
  mortgage  loans  classified  as nonaccrual as compared to $3.5 million at year
  end 1995, and $2.9 million at June 30, 1995.

  The  average  balance of loans  identified  as  impaired  during  1996 is $9.5
  million and the interest income earned on the loans  classified as impaired at
  June 30, 1996, was approximately $150,000.

  For the six months of 1996, charge offs were as follows:

         Commercial loans              $1.9 million
         Installment credit              .5 million
         Mortgage loans                  .7 million

  Recoveries for the same period were $1.3 million.

  Real estate owned: Total real estate owned increased from the year end balance
  of $3.7 million to $4.7  million at June 30,  1996.  Real estate owned at June
  30, 1995 was $4.3 million.  As noted  previously,  the increase in the balance
  outstanding  between  year end 1995 and June 30,  1996,  is the  result of one
  commercial property being placed in foreclosure during this period.

  Allowance  for loan losses:  The balance of the  allowance  for loan losses is
  maintained at a level that is, in management's judgment, representative of the
  amount of the risk  inherent in the loan  portfolio,  given past,  present and
  expected future conditions.

  At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was $50.6 million, an increase
  of $2.3  million  from  the  year end 1995  balance  of  $48.3  million.  This
  allowance  represents a reserve coverage of 3.6 times the nonperforming  loans
  at June 30,  1996,  compared  to 3.1 times  coverage  at year end 1995 and 3.3
  times coverage at June 30, 1995.  The provision  charged to expense during the
  year was $4.0 million in 1996, compared to $6.6 million in 1995.

  Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
  TrustCo seeks to obtain  favorable  sources of funding and to maintain prudent
  levels  of  liquid  assets  in  order to  satisfy  varied  liquidity  demands.
  TrustCo's earnings  performance and strong capital position enable the Company
  to raise funds easily in the marketplace and to secure new sources of funding.
  The Company actively manages its liquidity  through target ratios  established
  under its liquidity  policies.  Continual  monitoring of both  historical  and
  prospective  ratios allows TrustCo to employ strategies  necessary to maintain
  adequate  liquidity.  Management has also defined  various  degrees of adverse
  liquidity   situations  which  could  potentially   occur,  and  has  prepared
  appropriate contingent plans should such a situation arise.

  Noninterest Income
  Total  noninterest  income for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 was $1.0
  million  compared to $4.0 million in 1995. For 1996 the Company  recorded $2.6
  million  of net  securities  losses  during the second  quarter,  compared  to
  approximately  $400,000 of net securities gains in 1995.  Therefore once these
  securities  transactions are eliminated,  the 1996 noninterest income was $3.7
  million  compared to $3.6  million in 1995.  Likewise for the six months ended
  June  30,  1996,  total  noninterest  income  (excluding  the  effects  of net
  securities transactions) was $7.2 million, compared to $6.8 million in 1995.

  Noninterest Expenses
  Total  noninterest  expense for the second  quarter of 1996 was $10.7  million
  compared to $11.9 million in 1995. The decrease in FDIC insurance  expense and
  the reduced  cost of  operating  and  disposing  of other real estate were the
  principal  reasons for the overall decrease in noninterest  expense during the
  two time periods.

  For the  first six  months  of 1996,  noninterest  expense  amounted  to $21.1
  million  compared  to $23.6  million in 1995.  Similar  to the second  quarter
  results,  the decrease in total  noninterest  expense was due principally to a
  reduction in FDIC insurance  expense and expenses  associated  with other real
  estate.

  Income Taxes
  In the second quarter of 1996 and 1995,  TrustCo  recognized $ 4.1 million and
  $3.1  million,  respectively,  of income  tax  expense.  This  resulted  in an
  effective  tax rate of 37.3% in 1996 and 33.4% in 1995.  For the six months of
  1996, total tax expense was $8.1 million compared to $6.2 million for 1995.

  Capital Resources
  Consistent  with  its  long-term  goal of  operating  a sound  and  profitable
  financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios. New
  issues of equity securities have not been required since  traditionally,  most
  of its capital requirements are met through the capital retention program.

  Total shareholders'  equity at June 30, 1996 was $153.4 million down 4.2% from
  year end 1995.  The change in  shareholders'  equity between year end 1995 and
  June 30, 1996 reflects the net income retained in TrustCo (after  shareholders
  dividend payments) offset by the reduction in the net unrealized  appreciation
  on securities available for sale of $11.1 million. Excluding the effect of the
  FASB 115  adjustment  (mark to market on the available  for sale  securities),
  shareholders' equity was $147.7 million at year end 1995 and $152.1 million at
  June 30, 1996.

  TrustCo declared dividends of $0.55 per share so far in 1996, compared to
  $0.46 in 1995.  These result in a dividend payout ratio of 71.5% in 1996 and
  67.1% in 1995.  The Company achieved the following ratios as of June 30, 1996
  and 1995:

  In addition, at June 30, 1996 and 1995, the consolidated equity to asset ratio
  (excluding the mark to market on the securities  available for sale) was 6.85%
  and 6.89%, respectively.

       SIXTH.  This restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
