       TrustCo Bank Corp NY
       Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
       (Unaudited)

  1.     Financial Statement Presentation
  In the opinion of the  management of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the  Company),  the
  accompanying  unaudited  Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain all
  adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,
  1997,  the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
  1996,  and the cash flows for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
  The accompanying  Consolidated  Interim Financial Statements should be read in
  conjunction  with the  TrustCo  Bank Corp NY year-end  Consolidated  Financial
  Statements,  including notes thereto,  which are included in TrustCo Bank Corp
  NY's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

  2. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
  of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  "Earnings per Share"  (Statement
  128), which  establishes  standards for computing and presenting  earnings per
  share (EPS).  This  statement  simplifies  the standards for computing EPS and
  supersedes  Accounting  Principals  Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share"
  and related  interpretations.  Statement  128  replaces  the  presentation  of
  primary  EPS with  the  presentation  of  basic  EPS.  It also  requires  dual
  presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement for
  all entities with complex capital  structures and requires a reconciliation of
  the numerator and  denominator  of the basic EPS  computation to the numerator
  and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

  Basic EPS is computed by dividing income  available to common  stockholders by
  the  weighted-average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the  period.
  Diluted EPS reflects the potential  dilution that could occur if securities or
  other  contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
  stock or  resulted  in the  issuance  of common  stock that then shared in the
  earnings of the entity (such as the Company's stock  options).  This Statement
  is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
  15, 1997,  including  interim periods.  Earlier  application is not permitted.
  This Statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.

  Management  does  not  anticipate  that the  adoption  of  Statement  128 will
  materially impact EPS.

  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 March 31,  1997,  and the
  related  consolidated  statements of income and cash flows for the three month
  periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. 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, 1996 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 24,
  1997,  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, 1996,  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
                                 March 31, 1997

  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 period ended March 31, 1997, with comparisons
  to 1996 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
  1996 Annual Report to  Shareholders,  should be read in conjunction  with this
  review.  Amounts in prior period consolidated interim financial statements are
  reclassified   whenever   necessary   to  conform  to  the  current   period's
  presentation. Per share results have all been adjusted for the 15% stock split
  effective August 1996.

  Statements  included in this review and in future  filings by TrustCo with the
  Securities and Exchange Commission,  in TrustCo's press releases,  and in oral
  statements made with the approval of an authorized  executive  officer,  which
  are not historical or current facts,  are  "forward-looking  statements"  made
  pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions of the Private  Securities  Litigation
  Reform Act of 1995,  and are subject to certain risks and  uncertainties  that
  could cause actual results to differ  materially from historical  earnings and
  those  presently  anticipated or projected.  TrustCo wishes to caution readers
  not to place undue  reliance  on any such  forward-looking  statements,  which
  speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others,
  in some cases have  affected and in the future could affect  TrustCo's  actual
  results,  and could cause  TrustCo's  actual  financial  performance to differ
  materially from that expressed in any  forward-looking  statement:  (1) credit
  risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3)  competition,  (4) changes in the regulatory
  environment,  and (5) changes in general  business  and economic  trends.  The
  forgoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims
  any  obligation  subsequently  to revise any forward-  looking  statements  to
  reflect  events  or  circumstances  after the date of such  statements,  or to
  reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

  Following this discussion is the table  "Distribution  of Assets,  Liabilities
  and  Shareholders'  Equity:  Interest Rates and Interest  Differential"  which
  gives a detailed  breakdown of TrustCo's  average  interest earning assets and
  interest  bearing  liabilities  for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and
  1996.

  Overview
  TrustCo recorded net income of $7.6 million,  or $0.36 per share for the three
  months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $6.7 million or $0.32 per share in
  the same period in 1996.

  The primary factors accounting for the year to date increase are:

 -> reduction in the provision for loan losses from $3.1 million in 1996 to
    $1.2 million in 1997,
                
 -> increase in total noninterest income by $409 thousand between 1996 and
    1997, and

 -> continued emphasis on expense control, resulting in a continued improvement
    of the efficiency ratio to 40.2% for the first quarter of 1997.
       

  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 the
  sensitivity  of net  interest  income  to  changes  in  interest  rates  to an
  acceptable  level  while  enhancing  profitability  both on a  short-term  and
  long-term basis.

  Earning Assets
  Total interest  earning  assets  increased from $2.10 billion in 1996 to $2.16
  billion  in 1997 with an  average  yield of 7.92% in 1997,  and 8.03% in 1996.
  Income on earning  assets  increased  by $522  thousand  during this same time
  period from $42.1  million in 1996 to $42.7  million in 1997.  The increase in
  interest income on earning assets was  attributable to the increase in average
  earning assets offset by the reduction in yield on these assets.

  Loans:  The  average  balance  of loans  was $1.24  billion  in 1997 and $1.23
  billion in 1996.  The yield on loans  decreased from 8.83% in 1996 to 8.70% in
  1997.  This  resulted in a reduction in the  interest  income on loans by $148
  thousand.

  Within the category of loans, the commercial loans balances decreased by $15.3
  million,  residential  mortgage loans increased by $39.6 million,  home equity
  lines of credit decreased by $8.7 million,  and the installment loan portfolio
  decreased by $1.9 million.  These changes  continue to reflect the competitive
  environment  that exists for loans and the  emphasis  that TrustCo has for the
  residential mortgage loan products.

  Securities  Available for Sale:  Securities  available for sale had an average
  balance of $594  million  during the quarter as  compared  to $629  million in
  1996.  These  balances  earned an average  yield of 7.70% in 1997 and 7.50% in
  1996. This resulted in interest income on the securities available for sale of
  $11.4  million in 1997 and $11.8  million in 1996.  The  reduction  in average
  balances  during the quarter  caused a $2.0  million  decrease in the interest
  income which was offset by a $1.7 million  increase in interest  income due to
  the change in the average rates.

  Most of the  decrease in the  balances of  securities  available  for sale was
  centered in the category of U.S.  Treasuries and agencies  which  decreased by
  $65.3  million  between  the first  quarter of 1996 and 1997.  Mortgage-backed
  securities and investments in states and political  subdivisions  increased on
  average $9.6 million and $25.2 million, respectively.

  Federal Funds Sold:  The 1997 first quarter  average  balance of federal funds
  sold was $326.7  million,  $82.2  million  greater than the $244.5  million in
  1996.  The  portfolio  yield  declined to 5.37% in 1997,  compared to 5.43% in
  1996,  down 6 basis points.  Changes in the yield resulted from changes in the
  target rate set by the Federal Reserve Board for federal funds sold.  Interest
  income on this  portfolio  increased  by  approximately  $1 million  from $3.3
  million in 1996 to $4.3  million in 1997.  The  increase  in  interest  income
  resulting  from the  increase in average  balances was $1.3  million,  and was
  offset by a reduction in interest  income of $250  thousand as a result of the
  decrease in interest rates.

  Income From Earning  Assets:  Income from earning assets rose to $42.7 million
  during the first quarter of 1997 from $42.1 million last year.

  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.

  Total time deposits (which includes  interest bearing checking,  savings,  and
  certificates  of deposit)  increased to $1.84  billion  during  1997,  and the
  average  yield was  unchanged at 4.32% from 1996.  Total  interest  expense on
  these deposits  decreased $73 thousand to $19.6 million.  Within this category
  of  deposits,  NOW  accounts,  savings,  certificates  of  deposits  over $100
  thousand,  and other time deposits  increased by $2.7  million,  $3.2 million,
  $5.4 million and $8.8 million,  respectively.  Money market  deposit  accounts
  decreased by $9.6 million during the same time period.

  Short-term  borrowings,  primarily the Trustco Short-Term  Investment Account,
  increased by $49.1 million  between the first quarter of 1996 and 1997.  Total
  interest expense on this account increased by 80% to $1.3 million in 1997, and
  the average yield increased 14 basis points to 4.70%.

  Demand  deposit  balances  increased  by 10% during the period  from the first
  quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 1997.  The average  balance was $104.1
  million in 1996, and $114.6 million in 1997.

  Growth in deposits balances resulted from successful marketing and advertising
  campaigns for certificates of deposits and savings products. 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.  TrustCo
  competes on a combination of interest rate, quality service and convenience.

  Net Interest Income
  Taxable  equivalent net interest income increased slightly to $21.8 million in
  1997.  The net interest  spread  dropped 12 basis points between 1996 add 1997
  and the net interest margin also decreased by 13 basis points.

  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 on 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 March 31, 1997.

  Nonperforming loans: Total nonperforming loans were $11.8 million at March 31,
  1997,  down $3.8  million from the $15.6  million at March 31, 1996,  and down
  $2.2 million from the year end 1996 balance of $14.0 million. Nonaccrual loans
  were $7.5 million at March 31, 1997,  representing  a decrease of $5.1 million
  from the year ago period, and also down $3.3 million from the year end balance
  of $10.7 million.  Restructured  loans  increased to $2.8 million at March 31,
  1997,  from the balance of $1.7 million at March 31, 1996,  and the balance of
  $2.5 million at December 31, 1996.

  Total  commercial and commercial  real estate impaired loans were $2.8 million
  at March 31, 1997,  and together with the newly  restructured  retail loans of
  $3.1 million, represent the Company's impaired loans at March 31, 1997. Of the
  total $11.8 million of  nonperforming  loans at quarter end, $5.9 million were
  identified as being impaired, leaving $5.9 million of loans that are primarily
  nonperforming  retail loans and commercial  loans that are past due 90 days or
  more and  still  accruing  interest.  TrustCo  does not  consider  these to be
  impaired loans.

  During the first quarter of 1997 there have been  commercial  loan charge offs
  of $1.8 million,  and consumer loan charge offs of $566  thousand.  Recoveries
  during the first quarter were $1.4 million.

  Real estate owned:  Total real estate owned increased to $8.3 million at March
  31, 1997,  from the $2.9 million at March 31, 1996,  and from the $6.5 million
  at year end 1996.  The  increase in real  estate  owned since year end 1996 is
  primarily the result of one commercial  property that was foreclosed on during
  the quarter,  and several  residential  foreclosures.  The commercial property
  represented  $2.0  million of the increase in the balance of real estate owned
  since year end 1996.

  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 March 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was $51.8 million, which 
  represents a slight increase of $284 thousand from the year end balance of 
  $51.6 million.  This allowance represents a reserve coverage of 4.4 times the
  nonperforming loans at March 31, 1997.  The

  provision charged to expense during the quarter was $1.2 million for 1997, and
  $3.1 million for 1996.

  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 contingency plans should such a situation arise.

  Noninterest Income
  Total noninterest  income for the first quarter was $3.5 million,  compared to
  $3.1 million in 1996. Included in both the 1997 and 1996 first quarter results
  are losses on securities of $495 thousand in 1997,  and $421 thousand in 1996.
  Once these  securities  transactions  are removed,  total  noninterest  income
  increased from $3.5 million in 1996 to $4.0 million in 1997.

  Noninterest Expense
  Total noninterest expense was $11.2 million for 1997 compared to $10.4 million
  in 1996.  Most of the increase in  noninterest  expense  during these two time
  periods  relates  to  salaries  and  employee   benefits  which  increased  by
  approximately  7%, and  professional  charges which increased by $331 thousand
  between 1996 and 1997.  The Company's  efficiency  ratio was 40.2% in 1997 and
  40.4% in 1996.

  Income Taxes
  In the first  quarter of 1997  TrustCo  recognized  income tax expense of $4.5
  million, compared to $4.0 million in 1996. The effective tax rate for 1997 was
  37.4% and for 1996 it was 37.5%.

  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
  TrustCo's capital  requirements are met through the capital retention program.
  Previously,  TrustCo has stated its intention to open three to five new branch
  offices  each year for the next  couple of years.  For 1997,  the  Company has
  plans to open three new  facilities  in the first half of the year.  These new
  branches and the related deposit growth  anticipated from these locations will
  not require  additional  capital beyond that which is already  existing within
  the Company, or that which will be developed and retained in the coming years.

  Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 1997 was $161.1 million, down slightly
  from the $162.4 million at year end 1996. The change in  shareholders'  equity
  between year end and the first quarter 1997 reflects a $2.6 million  reduction
  in the net unrealized gain on securities

  TrustCo  declared  dividends of $0.28 so far in 1997,  compared  with $0.24 in
  1996.  These results  represent a dividend  payout ratio of 73.87% in 1997 and
  72.67% in 1996. The Company achieved the following ratios as of March 31, 1997
  and 1996:
