3.      Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," (Statement 130).
This Statement  establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. Comprehensive income includes the reported net income
of a company  adjusted  for items  that are  currently  accounted  for as direct
entries to equity, such as the mark to market adjustment on securities available
for sale, foreign currency items and minimum pension liability  adjustments.  At
the Company, comprehensive income represents net income plus other comprehensive
income,  which  consists  of the net  change  in  unrealized  gains or losses on
securities  available for sale for the period.  Accumulated other  comprehensive
income represents the net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for
sale as of the balance sheet dates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW 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 September 30, 1999,  and the
related  consolidated  statements  of income for the three  month and nine month
periods ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the  consolidated  statements of
cash flows for the nine month periods ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998.  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, 1998 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 22,
1999,  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, 1998 is fairly
stated, 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
                                September 30, 1999

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 nine month  periods ended  September  30, 1999,  with
comparisons to 1998 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 1998
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 been  adjusted  for the 2 for 1 stock split  declared in
August 1999.

Forward-looking Statements
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

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 and nine months ended  September  30,
1999 and 1998.

Overview  TrustCo  recorded  net  income of $10.0  million,  or $0.18 of diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to
net income of $9.2  million or $0.16 of diluted  earnings  per share in the same
period in 1998.  For the nine month period




                                       9
<PAGE>




ended September 30, 1999, TrustCo recorded net income of $28.8 million, or $0.51
of diluted earnings per share, as compared to $26.3 million, or $0.47 of diluted
earnings per share for the comparable period in 1998.

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

     -      Increase in average total interest  earning assets of $18.1 million
            between  September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1999,

     -      A 27 basis points  increase in the net interest margin from 3.82%
            for the first nine months of 1998 to 4.09% for 1999, and

     -      An increase in noninterest  income  (excluding  securities
            transactions) by  approximately  $1.5 million to $15.8 million at
            September 30, 1999.

These  increases  were  partially  offset by an increase of  approximately  $500
thousand in noninterest expense.

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 average interest earning assets decreased from $2.38 billion for the third
quarter of 1998 to $2.34  billion in 1999 with an average yield of 7.35% in 1999
and 7.56% in 1998.  Income on earning  assets  decreased by $1.9 million  during
this same  time-period  from $45.0 million in 1998 to $43.1 million in 1999. The
decrease in interest income on earning assets was  attributable to the reduction
in yield on these assets and the reduction in balances outstanding.

For the nine month  period ended  September  30,  1999,  the average  balance of
interest earning assets was $2.35 billion, an increase of $18.1 million from the
balance for the comparable period in 1998 of $2.33 billion. The average yield on
interest  earning  assets  was 7.66% for 1998,  compared  to 7.28% in 1999.  The
increase in the average balance of earning assets did not completely  offset the
reduction in the yield earned on these assets,  thereby resulting in a reduction
in  interest  income of $5.7  million to $128.3  million  for the nine months of
1999, compared to $134.0 million for the nine months of 1998.

Loans

The average balance of loans for the third quarter was $1.33 billion in 1999 and
$1.32 billion in 1998. The yield on loans  decreased from 8.43% in 1998 to 8.02%
in 1999.  The  combination of the higher  average  balances  offset by the lower
rates resulted in a decrease in the interest income on loans by $1.0 million.

For the nine month period ended  September 30, 1999, the average  balance in the
loan  portfolio was $1.33 billion  compared to $1.31 billion for the  comparable
period in 1998. The average yield decreased from 8.53% in 1998 to 8.04% in 1999.
The increase in the average  balance of loans  outstanding  offset  slightly the
impact of the reduction in the yield resulting in total interest income of $79.9
million in 1999 compared to $83.7 million in 1998.

The  reduction  in the yield in the loan  portfolio  was the result of  dramatic
reductions in the rates for new and refinanced  loans.  Since June 1998,  market
interest rates on real estate loan products have decreased,  thereby stimulating
new loan demand and providing an  opportunity  for borrowers to refinance  their
existing  loan  balances  at  lower  rates.  This  situation   resulted  in  the
residential  mortgage loan portfolio growing on average by $42.5 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to September 30, 1998. This
growth in the residential  mortgage loan portfolio  caused the yield to decrease
from 8.08% for the nine month period ended  September  30, 1998 to 7.80% for the
comparable  period  in 1999.  The home  equity  credit  line  portfolio  and the
commercial  real estate  portfolio are also  significantly  affected by interest
rates in the marketplace.  Both products have rates tied to various indexes such
as prime rate. As the index  changes,  so will the rates earned on these assets.
The commercial  loan yield  decreased from 9.48% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998 to 8.86% for the nine month period ended  September 30, 1999.
The home equity credit line portfolio  experienced a similar  reduction in rates
as the average  yield  decreased  from 9.34% in 1998 to 7.83% in 1999.  The home
equity  credit line rate decline was also the result of  reductions  made in the
pricing process for this product in order to make it more  competitive with home
equity  credit  lines  offered at other  financial  institutions.  Though  these
changes  in pricing  were made for the home  equity  credit  line  product,  the
average  balance of these loans decreased from $162.0 million for the nine month
period ended  September 30, 1998 to $142.4 million for the comparable  period in
1999.

Securities Available for Sale

During the third quarter of 1999,  the average  balance of securities  available
for sale was $704.8  million with a yield of 7.02%,  compared to $601.6  million
for the third  quarter  of 1998 with a yield of 7.17%.  The  combination  of the
increase in average  balance  offset by the  reduction  in the yields  caused an
increase in interest  income on  securities  available  for sale of $1.6 million
between the third quarter of 1999 and 1998.

The nine month  results  reflect the same  principal  trends noted for the third
quarter.  The total average balance of securities  available for sale during the
nine months of 1999



                                      11

<PAGE>


was $688.5 million with an average yield of 6.98% compared to an average balance
for 1998 of $595.7  million  with a yield of 7.26%.

Reflected in both the third quarter and nine month results are reductions in the
average  balances  invested in securities  issued by the U.S.  Government or its
agencies that are "callable" by the agency. As interest rates in the market have
decreased,  these securities were called by the agency and consequently resulted
in TrustCo having additional funds in overnight  investments.  Through the third
quarter   there  has  also  been  an   increase   in  the  amount   invested  in
mortgage-backed  securities.  These are pass through securities that are secured
by the underlying  mortgage loans and government  guarantees.  With the types of
mortgage-backed  securities that TrustCo purchases,  there is little credit risk
in the portfolio.  Rather,  the risk with respect to these securities rests with
the issue of interest rates. As interest rates in the mortgage markets decrease,
the  underlying  loans  will  prepay  early  or  refinance  in  their  entirety.
Generally,  mortgage-backed  securities  provide  cash flows over a longer  time
period to final maturity, than do callable securities.

Also during the later part of 1998 and into early 1999,  TrustCo has invested in
asset-backed  securities.  The  underlying  collateral  for these bonds are home
equity  loans and home equity  lines of credit.  Virtually  all of the bonds are
insured and have an average life of less than three years.  All of the bonds are
"AAA" rated by Standard and Poors or Moody's. At September 30, 1999, the Company
had invested $111.5 million in asset-backed securities.


Federal Funds Sold
During the third quarter of 1999, the average  balance of federal funds sold was
$303.8  million with a yield of 5.13%,  compared to the average  balance for the
three month period ended  September  30, 1998 of $458.6  million with an average
yield of 5.57%. The $154.8 million  reduction in the average  balance,  combined
with the 44 basis  points  decrease  in the  average  yield,  resulted  in total
interest  income on federal funds sold of $3.9 million for 1999 compared to $6.4
million for 1998.

During the nine month period ended  September 30, 1999,  the average  balance of
federal  funds was $337.2  million with a yield of 4.89%  compared to an average
balance of $429.3 million in 1998 with an average yield of 5.56%.

The federal funds portfolio is utilized to generate  additional  interest income
and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed  into the loan and  securities
portfolios.  The  reduction in the average  balance for the three month and nine
month  periods of 1999  compared to 1998 are the result of increases in the loan
and securities portfolios during those time periods, plus reductions in deposits
funded through the liquidation of federal funds sold.

The  reduction  in the yield on federal  funds sold between 1998 and 1999 is the
result of  changes  made by the  Federal  Reserve  Bank for the  target  rate on
overnight federal


                                       12
<PAGE>

funds  investments.  During  the later  part of 1998 the  Federal  Reserve  Bank
reduced its target rate by 75 basis points to 4.75%. In 1999 the Federal Reserve
Bank  increased the target rate to 5.25%.  The full impact of that increase will
be reflected in the fourth quarter results.

Funding Opportunities
TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio.
The vast  majority  of the  Company's  funding  comes from  traditional  deposit
vehicles such as savings,  interest bearing checking and time deposit  accounts.
Also, TrustCo developed a Short-Term Investment Account, which was introduced in
1995 exclusively for customers of the Trust Department.

During the quarter,  total interest  bearing  liabilities  were $2.0 billion for
1999  and $2.1  billion  for  1998.  The rate  paid on  total  interest  bearing
liabilities  was 4.30% for the third  quarter of 1998,  73 basis points  greater
than the 3.57% rate paid for 1999.  Total interest expense for the third quarter
decreased  $4.5 million to $18.3  million for 1999 compared to $22.8 million for
1998.

Similar changes in interest  bearing  liabilities  were noted for the nine month
period as was discussed for the quarter. Total interest bearing liabilities were
$2.1 billion for the nine month periods ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998.  The
rate paid on these balances decreased from 4.32% for 1998 to 3.65% for 1999.

During 1998 and continuing  into 1999,  TrustCo has reduced the rate paid on all
funding sources. These reductions in interest rates were the result of a general
fall in interest rates in the market place between those two dates.  The Federal
Reserve Bank reduced the target  federal funds rate during most of this time and
only recently began  increasing the target funds rate. From that reduction there
were also declines in bond yields,  mortgage  interest  rates and deposit rates.
TrustCo has  actively  managed  the  pricing of deposit  products in relation to
investment opportunities and marketing objectives. Interest rates on all deposit
types  have  been  aggressively  reduced,  while  at the same  time the  average
balances have decreased from the period one year ago.

Net Interest Income
Taxable  equivalent net interest income increased to $24.8 million for the third
quarter of 1999. The net interest  spread also increased 52 basis points between
1998 and 1999 and the net interest margin increased by 50 basis points.

Similar  increases  were noted in taxable  equivalent net interest  income,  net
interest  spread  and net  interest  margin  for the  nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998. Net interest income for
the first nine months of 1999 was $72.2  million,  an  increase of $5.2  million
over the $66.9  million for the first nine months of 1998.  Net interest  spread
increased 29 basis points to 3.63% and net  interest  margin  increased 27 basis
points to 4.09% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999,  compared to
the nine month period ended September 30, 1998.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming  assets  include  nonperforming  loans  which are those loans in a
nonaccrual status,  loans that have been restructured,  and loans past due three
payments  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 considered to be those  commercial and commercial real estate
loans in a nonaccrual status and loans  restructured since January 1, 1995, when
the accounting standards required the identification,  measurement and reporting
of impaired  loans.  The  following  will describe the  nonperforming  assets of
TrustCo as of September 30, 1999.

Nonperforming  loans: Total  nonperforming  loans were $9.9 million at September
30, 1999, a decrease from the $12.4 million of  nonperforming  loans at December
31, 1998 and the $10.4 million at September 30, 1998. Nonaccrual loans were $4.7
million at  September  30, 1999 down from the $7.1  million at December 31, 1998
and down from the $6.2 million at September  30, 1998.  Restructured  loans were
$4.2 million at September 30, 1999 compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 1998
and $3.6 million at September 30, 1998.

Of the $9.9  million of  nonperforming  loans at  September  30,  1999,  all but
approximately  $400  thousand  are  residential  real estate or retail  consumer
loans. In prior years the vast majority of nonperforming loans were concentrated
in the  commercial  and  commercial  real  estate  portfolios.  There has been a
dramatic  shifting of  nonperforming  loans to the  residential  real estate and
retail consumer loan portfolio for several factors, including:

        -        The overall emphasis within TrustCo for residential real estate
                 originations,
        -        The  relatively  weak economic  environment  in the upstate New
                 York territory, and
        -        The  reduction in real estate  values in TrustCo's  market area
                 that has occurred  since the middle of the 1990's,  thereby
                 causing a reduction in the collateral that supports the real
                 estate loans.

Consumer  defaults and bankruptcies  have increased  dramatically  over the last
several  years and this has lead to an increase  in  defaults on loans.  TrustCo
strives to identify borrowers that are experiencing  financial  difficulties and
to work aggressively with them to minimize losses or exposures.

Total  impaired  loans at  September  30,  1999 of $4.8  million,  consisted  of
restructured retail loans. During the first nine months of 1999, there have been
$360  thousand of  commercial  loan charge offs,  $445 thousand of consumer loan
charge offs and $5.4 million of mortgage  loan charge offs as compared with $953
thousand of commercial  loan charge offs,  $736 thousand of consumer loan charge
offs and $3.1  million of


                                       14
<PAGE>


mortgage  loan charge offs in the first nine months of 1998.  Recoveries  during
the first nine month  periods have been $3.5 million in 1999 and $2.3 million in
1998.

Real estate owned: Total real estate owned of $2.3 million at September 30, 1999
decreased by $2.9 million since year-end 1998. This decrease was due to the sale
of two  commercial  real estate  properties and various  residential  properties
during 1999.

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.

At September 30, 1999,  the allowance for loan losses was $55.7  million,  which
represents a slight increase from the $54.4 million in the allowance at December
31, 1998. The allowance  represents  4.17% of the loan portfolio as of September
30, 1999 compared to 4.11% at December 31, 1998. For the nine month periods, the
provision  charged to expense  was $4.0  million  for 1999 and $3.4  million for
1998.

In deciding on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews
the current  nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and
not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting  purposes.  Also, there are a
number of other  factors  that are taken into  consideration,  including:
       -         The magnitude  and nature of the recent loan charge offs and
                 the  movement of charge offs to the residential real estate
                 loan portfolio,

       -         The growth in the loan portfolio and the  implication  that has
                 in relation to the economic climate in the bank's business
                 territory,

       -         Changes  in   underwriting   standards   in  the   competitive
                 environment in which TrustCo operates,

       -         Significant  growth  in  the  level  of  losses  associated
                 with bankruptcies  and the time  period  needed to  foreclose,
                 secure  and dispose of collateral, and

       -         The relatively  weak economic  environment in the upstate New
                 York territory  combined with declining real estate prices.

Consumer  bankruptcies and defaults in general have risen  significantly  during
the 1990's.  This trend appears to be continuing as a result of economic  strife
and the relative ease of access by consumers to additional credit. Job growth in
the upstate New York area has been modest to declining and there continues to be
a shifting of higher paying jobs in manufacturing and government to lower paying
service jobs.

In light of these trends,  management  believes the allowance for loan losses is
reasonable  in  relation  to the  risk  that  is  present  in its  current  loan
portfolio.

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 three months ended September 30, 1999 was $3.9
million, a decrease of approximately $800 thousand from the comparable period in
1998.  During the 1999 period,  the Company recorded net securities  losses $1.2
million  compared  to $135  thousand of net gains for the  comparable  period in
1998. Excluding these securities transactions, noninterest income increased from
$4.6 million in the third quarter of 1998 to $5.1 million in 1999.  The increase
is the result of additional Trust fee income and other miscellaneous items.

Similar  results were also  recognized  for the nine months of 1999  compared to
1998.  Total  noninterest  income was $13.6  million for 1999  compared to $14.6
million for 1998. Excluding net securities  transactions,  the balances for 1999
and 1998 would have been $15.8 million and $14.3 million  respectively.  Most of
the year to date  increase  resulted from the gain on sales of bank premises and
equipment and Trust fee income.

Noninterest Expenses
Total  noninterest  expense for the third quarter of 1999 was $11.5 million down
slightly from $11.8  million in the third  quarter of 1998.  For the nine months
ended  September 30,  1999 and 1998, total noninterest expense was $35.1 million
and $34.6 million respectively.

Income Taxes
In the third quarter of 1999 and 1998,  TrustCo recognized income tax expense of
$5.2 million and $4.7 million  respectively.  This  resulted in an effective tax
rate of 34.5% for 1999 and 33.6% for 1998.  For the nine  months of 1999,  total
income tax expense was $14.9 million compared to $14.8 million for 1998.

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 retained in the Company (after
the dividends on the common stock).



                                       16
<PAGE>



Total shareholders'  equity at September 30, 1999 was $172.1 million, a decrease
of $13.7 million from the year-end of 1998 balance of $185.8 million. The change
in the  shareholders'  equity  between  year-end  1998 and  September  30,  1999
reflects the net income  retained by TrustCo offset by a $15.5 million  decrease
in the net unrealized gain, net of tax, on securities  available for sale, and a
$7.4 million increase in the amount of Treasury stock.

TrustCo  declared  dividends of $0.413 per share during the first nine months of
1999 compared to $0.359 in 1998.  These  resulted in a dividend  payout ratio of
77.08% in 1999 and 73.21% in 1998.  The Company  achieved the following  capital
ratios as of September 30, 1999 and 1998:

In addition,  at September 30, 1999 and 1998, the  consolidated  equity to total
assets ratio  (excluding  the mark to market effect of securities  available for
sale) was 7.09% and 6.70%, respectively.

Year 2000 Update

General:
Management believes that TrustCo's  company-wide Year 2000 project is proceeding
on schedule. The Year 2000 project is addressing the issue of computer software,
hardware,  and embedded  computer chips being unable to distinguish  between the
years 1900 and 2000.  TrustCo has completed the installation of all upgrades and
program changes  required by the software  vendors to make all mission  critical
systems Year 2000 compliant.  Testing has also been successfully  completed with
respect to these systems to determine that they are  functional  using Year 2000
dates.  The  schedule  for the  remainder  of 1999 is to  continue  testing  the
systems,  and to install  any new program  changes  identified  by the  software
vendors.  TrustCo will also continue testing with third party exchange  partners
and vendors for the remainder of 1999.

TrustCo operates its principal  financial  accounting and record keeping systems
using  software  purchased  from Alltel.  Beginning in 1995,  TrustCo  started a
project to upgrade this  software to the most current  release  available and to
work with Alltel to make the appropriate changes in order to be ready to process
Year 2000 transactions.  A timetable was established for these upgrades to occur
which would culminate in the  installation of a final set of upgrades that would
be Year 2000  ready.  TrustCo  has  installed  every  upgrade and made all other
changes required by Alltel to ensure that all programs are Year 2000 ready.

In  addition to the Alltel  programs,  there are a limited  number of  mainframe
application  programs that were  purchased  from Kirchman  Corporation.  TrustCo
worked  directly with the technical  support staff at Kirchman to evaluate these
applications   for  any  program  changes  required  to  accommodate  Year  2000
processing  requirements.  In light of the program  structure  and the fact that
these programs already utilize the full century date in their processing,  it is
not  anticipated  that  there  will  be any  difficulties  with  these  programs
accepting Year 2000 data.

Throughout the organization,  TrustCo utilizes other computer systems to process
various activities.  Some of the functionality provided by these systems is of a
routine  nature and is not critical to the  operations of TrustCo.  The critical
non-mainframe  applications are the ATM application,  which runs on an IBM AS400
system;  Trust Accounting,  which runs on an Alpha system from Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC); and Payroll, which is a server-based application.

The Year 2000  project  also  addresses  the  increasing  speculation  regarding
short-and  long-term  unavailability of certain consumer goods, which may prompt
people to  accumulate  or hoard  cash in  quantities  sufficient  to meet  their
personal


                                       18

needs for a period of time.  The Year 2000 project has  provisions  dealing with
the need for  additional  cash in the  branches  later in 1999 and into the year
2000. Arrangements have been made to obtain and transport additional cash to the
branches should the demand increase during those time periods.

Mainframe Operations:
Alltel Software:  The vast majority of all transactions processed by TrustCo are
performed using Alltel software.  Beginning in 1995, the Company inventoried all
of the  applications  that are  processed on the mainframe  and  identified  the
program  release that TrustCo  needed in order to be Year 2000 ready. A schedule
was  developed  and  outside  consulting  resources  were  engaged to assist the
in-house  programming  staff to have all applications  operating Year 2000 ready
programs upgraded by mid-1998. Completion of that schedule has been accomplished
and all Alltel Year 2000 ready programs have been installed.

Kirchman programs:  TrustCo utilizes three programs purchased from Kirchman that
operate on the mainframe  computer.  The TrustCo in-house  programming staff and
outside  consultants  have reviewed  these  programs and have concluded that the
programs are currently Year 2000 ready.

IBM operating system: The IBM operating system also required an upgrade to a new
version  to ensure  that it would be Year 2000  ready.  This  software  has been
obtained and installed.

ATM  application:  A second system,  identical to the system in place being used
for daily production,  has been installed for ATM Year 2000 testing.  The system
software  for the  platform has been  upgraded to IBM's Year 2000  release.  The
application  software for both TrustCo and non-TrustCo ATM transactions has been
installed and placed into service.

Trust Accounting:  A second system, identical to the system being used for daily
production,  has been  installed for Trust  Department  Year 2000  testing.  The
operating  system  software has been  upgraded to DEC's Year 2000  release.  The
application software has been upgraded to the vendor's Year 2000 release.

Non-information  Technology:  In  addition  to  computer  systems  utilized  for
information  technology,  TrustCo is also  dependent  upon certain  computerized
operations for such things as electrical  services,  heating and communications.
As part of the Year 2000  project,  TrustCo  has  taken  steps to  evaluate  the
magnitude  of the  computer  dependency  of  these  systems  and  the  potential
disruption  of services  should these  systems  fail.  Third-party  vendors that
support these systems have been contacted and are being  monitored by TrustCo in
relation to their Year 2000 implementation plan. Significant  dependencies exist




                                      19
<PAGE>


with respect to utilities such as the electric  companies.  TrustCo has obtained
the Year 2000 project plans for these  utilities and is monitoring the continued
compliance  with their plans.  The TrustCo  contingency  plan also  provides for
generator back up power at key sites to allow for minimum  functionality  should
the primary electric providers be inoperative in Year 2000.

Personal Computers:
TrustCo reviewed all programs and  departmental  functions that utilize personal
computers.  This inventory was then  prioritized to identify  critical  programs
that  needed to be Year  2000  ready.  All of the  critical  programs  have been
rewritten or new software has been installed so that they are year 2000 ready.

Testing:
To ensure  that each of the  systems  that  TrustCo  operates  will be Year 2000
ready,  a testing  plan has been  developed.  To assist in testing,  TrustCo has
purchased  redundant  equipment  for all of the hardware.  This will  facilitate
extended  hours for testing and will ensure that none of the testing will in any
way affect production programs. As part of the test plan, TrustCo has identified
several dates that need to be tested.  These include  year-end 1999 and 2000 and
other  critical dates during 1999 and 2000.  Also various  software and hardware
vendors have  identified  critical  test dates for their systems which have been
incorporated into the overall test plan.

Detailed  test scripts have been  developed to determine  that once the computer
clocks  have  been  rolled  forward  to the  appropriate  test  dates,  specific
transactions and processes are performed to validate operational integrity. Data
aging software has also been obtained that will assist in identifying all of the
affected  data fields and change  them to the future  date as  required  for the
test.

The test plan requires each  application to be tested initially on a stand-alone
basis to ensure that it is  operational  in current  date mode and will  support
production.  Once that test is completed, the plan calls for each application to
be tested in future date mode on a stand-alone  basis. The test plan is designed
to help  identify  and  isolate  problems,  if any  exist,  in future  date mode
testing.  The  individual  application  testing  will then  lead to  entity-wide
testing  in future  date mode to ensure  that all of the  applications  function
properly in the future date environment.

TrustCo has substantially  completed testing of the mission-critical  systems in
future date mode.  Test data and test scripts were  completed for selected dates
and all output and processing was  completed.  Further  testing will continue in
1999 as TrustCo interfaces with third-party vendors and service providers.




                                       20
<PAGE>


The  detailed  test plan  covers all  aspects  of  TrustCo's  operations  on the
mainframe, as well as all other mission-critical platforms.

Customer Evaluations:
TrustCo has completed a review of its  significant  customer  relationships  and
their dependency on computerized systems. In addition,  significant new customer
relationships  will also be subject to this evaluation.  TrustCo has established
an ongoing assessment as part of the credit granting and review process.

Vendor Monitoring:
In addition  to the main  application  software  vendors,  TrustCo has  numerous
interfaces  and data  exchanges  with third  parties  and  vendors.  Each of the
critical  interfaces and vendors has been contacted to determine that their Year
2000 plans are adequate and will meet the timetables  required by TrustCo.  When
such plans are not provided or do not  adequately  address  Year 2000  concerns,
alternate vendors or data exchange methods have been identified.

These  interfaces  and data  exchanges  with third  parties  and  vendors  occur
utilizing  numerous  types of programs  and  computer  systems.  Their Year 2000
projects  require them to be compliant in accordance  with  timetables  that are
acceptable  to TrustCo and in accordance  with  guidelines  established  by bank
regulators.  Due to the number of such  interfaces and data exchanges with third
parties  and  vendors,  there is a risk that some may not meet their  schedules.
TrustCo is monitoring these  activities and will take appropriate  action should
the need arise.

Contingency Planning:
All of the mainframe  application software is currently  operational on software
that TrustCo's vendors have identified as being Year 2000 ready.  Likewise,  all
of the  critical  PC programs  have been  updated or  rewritten  to be Year 2000
ready. Substantially all future date testing has been completed and test results
provided  assurance to  management  that the system will be  functional  in Year
2000. As problems are identified,  the affected programming code is analyzed and
rewritten or replaced if needed.

The contingency plan that has been developed was designed to ensure that all the
testing and remediation  efforts are completed in order to provide adequate time
for final  corrections  to  software  prior to Year  2000.  Plans are also being
developed to identify and plan for  unanticipated  disruption of services  after
Year 2000.  These plans  include  timetables  for moving  operations to disaster
recovery  sites,  the  availability of additional  programming  staff during the
critical time periods and back-up for program and data files. Initial plans have
been developed and will be updated continuously.

Cost:
The total  cost  associated  with  required  modifications  to become  Year 2000
compliant is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.  Most of the costs  associated with this project are for programming
services paid to third-party consultants. Internal costs have not been captured,
since  they are  relatively  fixed  costs  and are a  reallocation  of  existing
resources to this project.  Costs paid to  third-party  vendors  during the Year
2000 project were for the  following  services:
      -     Installation  of  upgrades to software in order to utilize the most
            recent version released by the vendor,
      -     Applying the Year 2000 code,
      -     Applying  custom code that is utilized by TrustCo in its operations,
            and,
      -     Providing  production  support to the Company as these  upgrades are
            being installed.

The cost of applying the Year 2000 remediation code to the upgraded  programs is
not  separately  determinable  from the  other  services  that  the  third-party
consultants have been providing.  The professional service cost for the services
noted  above is  estimated  to be  approximately  $2  million  for the Year 2000
project.  Through September 30, 1999, approximately 90% of these costs have been
expensed.

Risk:
The  failure  to  correct  a  material  Year  2000  problem  could  result in an
interruption  in,  or a  failure  of,  certain  normal  business  activities  or
operations.  Such failures could  materially and adversely  affect the Company's
results of  operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general
uncertainty  inherent  in the Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part  from the
uncertainty  of the Year 2000  readiness of  third-party  exchange  partners and
vendors,   the  Company  is  unable  to  determine  at  this  time  whether  the
consequences  of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations,  liquidity or financial condition.  The Year 2000 project
is expected to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the
Year 2000  problem  and,  in  particular,  about the Year  2000  compliance  and
readiness of its material  third-party data exchange  partners and vendors.  The
Company believes that, with the  implementation  of the modifications of all the
software and the monitoring of third-party  data exchange  partners and vendors,
the  possibility of significant  interruptions  of normal  operations  should be
reduced.

The  most  likely  worst  case  scenario  is that  certain  interfaces  and data
exchanges with third parties and vendors may not be fully functional at or after
the century

                                       22
<PAGE>


date change.  Because it is impossible to predict the nature of the failure, the
length of time that it takes to correct,  and the extent of the  failure,  it is
not possible to reasonably estimate the impact on TrustCo. Management's plan for
testing with third parties and vendors will be completed during 1999. This worst
case scenario could increase the overall cost of the Year 2000 project; however,
management  believes  that  this  scenario,  though  possible,  has only a minor
likelihood of occurring.

update should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  disclosures  under the

Reform Act of 1995.
