3. Stock Option Plans The Company has stock option plans for officers and directors and has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (Statement 123), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". The Company's stock option plans are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and as such, no compensation expense has been recorded for these plans. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock option plans been determined consistent with Statement 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been as follows:

5. Benefit Plans (Continued)
Contributions
The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2003 , that it did not expect to make any
contributions to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2004. As
of June 30, 2004, no contributions have been made. The Company presently
anticipates that, in accordance with IRS limitations and accounting standards,
it will not make any contributions in 2004.
6. Guarantees The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability-recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $ 4.2 million at June 30, 2004 and represent the maximum potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of twelve months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit and on-balance sheet instruments. Company policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. Loan-to-value ratios are generally consistent with loan-to-value requirements for other commercial loans secured by similar types of collateral. The fair value of the Company's standby letters of credit at June 30, 2004 was insignificant.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TrustCo Bank Corp NY:
We have reviewed the consolidated statement of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2004, the related consolidated statements of income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, 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 February 20, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY
Management's Discussion and Analysis June 30, 2004
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, 2004, with comparisons to 2003 as applicable. Interest income, 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 2003 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.
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
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 foregoing list should not be construed
as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date

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 and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

$13.4 million or $0.178 of diluted earnings per share in the same period in
2003. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, TrustCo recorded net income
of $28.5 million, or $0.380 of diluted earnings per share, as compared to $26.6
million, or $0.354 of diluted earnings per share for the comparable period in
2003.

Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued
June 30, 2004
The primary factors accounting for the year to date increases are:
` A $112.7 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets from $2.60 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $2.71 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004,
` A reduction in the provision for loan losses from $600 thousand in 2003 to $300 thousand in 2004,
` An increase in total noninterest income from $15.4 million in 2003 to $17.1 million in 2004. Within this category, securities transactions resulted in $5.3 million of net gains in 2003 compared to $7.8 million in 2004, and
` A reduction in total noninterest expense from $25.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $24.2 million for the comparable period in 2004.
Partially offsetting these year to date positive factors was a decrease in net interest margin from 3.98% in 2003 to 3.87% in 2004.
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.
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis for the second quarter and first six months of 2004 compared to the comparable periods in 2003 is greatly affected by the change in interest rates in the marketplace in which TrustCo competes. Included in the 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2003 compared to 2002. Most of the same market factors discussed in the 2003 Annual Report also had a significant impact on 2004 results.
Interest rates have remained at low levels during the second quarter of 2004 and for the six months ended June 30,2004. The federal funds rate was 1.00% for most of the first half of 2004 and was increased to 1.25% on June 30, 2004. The federal funds rate has a significant effect on the general marketplace and impacts the rates earned on loans and investments along with rates paid on deposits. As described in this management's discussion and analysis, the effect of this prolonged period of low interest rates has caused the average yield on the interest earning assets to decrease from 5.70% for the first half of 2003 to 5.27% for the comparable period in 2004, a reduction of 43 basis points. Along with this reduction in the yields on assets, there has been a corresponding decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities from 1.97% in 2003 to 1.60% for the first half of 2004. The net effect of these changes has resulted in a net interest margin of 3.87% on a year to date basis for 2004 compared to 3.98% for 2003.
During the second quarter of 2004 market interest rates on securities and loans have increased in anticipation of increases in the federal funds rate. As an example, the 10 year treasury bond yielded 3.84% at the end of the first quarter of 2004 and has increased 74 basis points to 4.58% as of June 30, 2004. These changes have had a significant impact on the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio. At March 31, 2004 the net unrealized gain in the securities available for sale portfolio was $41.6 million as compared to $ 6.5 million at June 30, 2004. This increase in market interest rates has significant implications on the fair value of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet along with net interest income implications as the Company reinvests excess liquidity at these higher interest rates. Through early August there has not yet been a noticeable corresponding increase in rates on interest bearing liabilities.
Earning Assets
Total average balance of interest earning assets increased from $2.62 billion
for the second quarter of 2003 to $2.75 billion for the second quarter of 2004
with an average yield of 5.58% in 2003 and 5.16% in 2004. Income on earning
assets decreased during this same time-period from $36.5 million in 2003 to
$35.5 million in 2004.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, the average balance of interest earning assets was $2.71 billion, an increase of $112.7 million from the comparable period in 2003 of $2.60 billion. The average yield on interest earning assets was 5.70% for 2003, compared to 5.27% in 2004. The increase in the average balance of earning assets did not offset the decrease in the yield earned on these assets, thereby resulting in a reduction in interest income of $2.6 million to $71.2 million for the six months of 2004, compared to $73.8 million for the six months of 2003.
Loans
The average balance of loans for the second quarter was $1.16 billion in 2004
and $1.31 billion in 2003. The yield on loans decreased from 6.96% in 2003 to
6.35% in 2004. The combination of the lower average balances and the lower rates
resulted in a decrease in the interest income on loans by $4.3 million.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the average balance in the loan portfolio was $1.16 billion compared to $1.35 billion for the comparable period in 2003. The average yield decreased from 7.04% in 2003 to 6.41% in 2004. The decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding and the impact of the decrease in the yield resulted in total interest income of $37.2 million in 2004 compared to $47.3 million in 2003.
During the second quarter and first half of 2004, the balance of the loan portfolio decreased primarily as a result of residential mortgages, though changes were also noted in other loan areas. The average balance of residential mortgage loans for the first half of 2004 was $779.8 million compared to $982.7 million in 2003, a decrease of 20.6%. The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 51 basis points compared to 2003. The average balance of residential mortgage loans for the second quarter of 2004 was $777.4 million compared to $939.5 million for the comparable period in 2003. The average yield decreased to 6.72% for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 7.26% for 2003.
TrustCo actively markets the residential mortgage loan products within its market territory. Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including the prime rate, the federal funds rate, rates set by competitors and secondary market participants. As noted previously, market interest rates have dropped significantly as a result of national economic policy in the United States. During this period of low interest rates, TrustCo aggressively marketed the unique aspects of its loan products thereby attempting to create a differentiation from other lenders. These unique aspects include extremely low closing costs, fast turnaround time on loan approvals, no escrow or mortgage insurance requirements and the fact that the Company holds these loans in portfolio and does not sell them into the secondary markets. However, the decrease in the residential mortgage loan portfolio reflects the results of historical low interest rates in the residential loan area and the desire by loan customers to obtain these historic low rates. In light of TrustCo's decision to hold loans in portfolio, management made the decision to offer loans at slightly higher interest rates compared to the local competition. The end result was the decline in balances in this portfolio from a combination of lower originations and higher prepayments from refinancings with other lenders. TrustCo was somewhat successful in its marketing efforts with respect to the unique aspects of its loan products, however, these successes were not enough to offset the amount of refinancings as a result of customers looking for absolutely the lowest interest rates being offered in the marketplace.
Though there is debate among nationally recognized economists, the general tenor of the national economy is for improvement and increases in long-term interest rates. Consequently the significant amount of refinancing that has occurred may be substantially completed with only residual effects into the second half of 2004. Assuming a rise in long-term interest rates, the Company would anticipate that the unique features of its loan product will once again attract customers in the residential mortgage loan area.

Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued
June 30, 2004
The impact of the prolonged period of decreases in the benchmark interest rate indexes (prime rate, federal funds rate, etc.) is apparent in the decrease in the yield earned in the commercial loan, home equity loan and consumer loan portfolios. The average yields earned on these loan types in 2004 were 55 bp, 28 bp andr 162 bp respectively, less than the average yields earned in the first six months of 2003.
The average balance of home equity lines of credit increased to $179.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $150.9 million in the comparable period in 2003. The average yield during this time period was 3.88% in 2004 and 4.10% in 2003. The six month results reflected these same trends with an average balance of $146.6 million in 2003 and $176.8 million in 2004. The average yield for the six months of 2004 was 3.88% and 4.16% for 2003. The increase in the average balance of home equity lines of credit reflects consumers' desire to obtain the lowest cost financing vehicles available. Trustco's home equity line of credit is at the prime rate during an introductory period and then floats with prime over the life of the line. Closing costs are waived for consumers so long as the line remains active and utilized for a set period of time.
Securities Available for Sale
During the second quarter of 2004, the average balance of securities available
for sale was $1.09 billion with a yield of 5.80%, compared to $832.5 million for
the second quarter of 2003 with a yield of 5.89%. The combination of the
increase in average balance partially offset by the decrease in the average
yield caused an increase in interest income on securities available for sale of
approximately $3.6 million between the second quarter of 2004 and 2003.
The six-month results reflect similar trends. The total average balance of securities available for sale during the six months of 2004 was $1.06 billion with an average yield of 5.97% compared to an average balance for 2003 of $741.3 million with a yield of 6.30%.
Within the portfolio of securities available for sale, there was a $246.2 million increase in the average balance of US Treasury and agency obligations from $479.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 to $725.4 million for the comparable period in 2004. The yield on this category of securities increased from 4.76% in 2003 to 5.45% in 2004.
The increased balances of securities available for sale was in response to the historically low yield available in the federal funds marketplace, increased cash flow as a result of loan refinancing and deposit inflows. Though the investment yields on 2004 purchases are overall lower than the yield earned on the existing securities portfolio, the new investments provide additional interest income and help to offset the loss of interest income from other areas. Virtually all of the new purchases of US Treasury and agency obligations were callable agency bonds issued by Freddie Mac, FNMA and the FHLB.
These bonds have call features that allow the issuer to redeem the bonds at predetermined times.
The six month balance for US Treasury and agency obligations increased from $365.0 million in 2003 to $735.5 million in 2004. The yield was 5.64% in 2004 as compared to 4.99% in 2003.
The other securities category also increased during the second quarter of 2004 to an average balance of $146.2 million as compared to $63.7 million for the comparable period in 2003. This increase was due to the purchase of approximately $128.2 million of collateralized mortgage obligations during 2004. All of the collateralized mortgage obligations are government agency issued bonds with relatively short anticipated cash flow lives.
As previously noted, during the second half of 2003 and into 2004 management decided to invest some of the additional cash flows coming from the loan portfolio refinancings into the securities available for sale portfolio so as to provide interest income and as a means of utilizing these funds other than in overnight investments. The securities purchased during this time period have been primarily federal agency bonds consistent with the Company's past practices. While this strategy provides the Company with additional interest income over the federal funds rate, it does subject these assets to a greater degree of interest rate risk. General market interest rate increases impact the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio thereby creating a reduction in the overall portfolio's unrealized gain position and lowering the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (a component of shareholders' equity).
Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-Term Investments During the second quarter of 2004, the average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments was $496.2 million with a yield of 0.98%, compared to the average balance for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 of $475.5 million with an average yield of 1.25%. The $20.8 million increase in the average balance, combined with the 27 basis points decrease in the average yield, resulted in total interest income on federal funds sold and other short-term investments of $1.2 million for 2004 compared to $1.5 million for 2003.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments was $486.1 million with a yield of 0.99% compared to an average balance of $507.8 million in 2003 with an average yield of 1.25%.
Changes in the yield on the federal funds and other short-term investment portfolios resulted primarily from changes in the target rate set of the Federal Reserve Board for federal funds sold. That rate was increased at the end of June 2004 from 1.00% to 1.25%.
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.
During the quarter, total average interest bearing liabilities were $2.38 billion for 2004 and $2.26 billion for 2003. The rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities was 1.59% for the second quarter of 2004 and 1.84% for 2003. Total interest expense for the second quarter decreased approximately $906 thousand to $9.4 million for 2004 compared to $10.3 million for 2003.
Similar changes in interest bearing liabilities were noted for the six-month period. Total interest bearing liabilities were $2.35 billion for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and $2.25 billion for 2003. The rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities was 1.60% for 2004 and 1.97% for 2003 and total interest expense was $18.8 million in 2004 and $22.1 million in 2003.
Demand deposit average balances increased $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. Demand deposits averaged $208.6 million in 2004 and $188.0 million in 2003. On a year to date basis, average demand deposits were $201.8 million in 2004 compared to $180.7 million in 2003.
Interest bearing deposit balances have increased from an average of $2.12 billion for the first six months of 2003 to $2.25 billion for 2004. Each of the deposit categories has also increased with the most notable being the increase in the average balance of savings accounts which averaged $743.2 million in 2003 and $798.2 million in 2004. TrustCo has experienced a deposit inflow primarily as a result of customers moving funds back into the banking system from the stock and bond market and from TrustCo's new branch openings.
The average balance of certificates of deposit and other time deposits increased from $911.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 to $956.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. The average yield on these deposits decreased from 3.22% in 2003 to 2.71% in 2004.
The second quarter results reflect similar trends as noted for the six-month results. Interest bearing deposits increased from an average of $2.14 billion for the second quarter of 2003 to $2.27 billion in 2004. The average yield paid on these deposits was 1.89% in 2003 and 1.64% in 2004. Savings account balances increased from an average of $761.0 million for the second quarter of 2003 to $811.8 million for the comparable period in 2004. Certificates of deposit and other time deposits also increased during the quarter from an average of $911.6 million in 2003 to $961.6 million in 2004.
In addition to customers moving funds back into the banking market, TrustCo has also attracted customers as a result of the branch expansion program. New branches opened since 2003 are continuing to attract customers which has added to the deposit increases.
Short-term borrowings for the quarter averaged $112.1 million in 2004 compared to $124.4 million in 2003. The average yield decreased during this time period from 0.83% to 0.72% for the second quarter of 2004. On a year to date basis, short term borrowings averaged $105.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $136.3 million for the comparable period in 2003. The average yield was 0.72% for the six months of 2004 and 0.90% for 2003.
Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income decreased by $114 thousand to $26.0
million for the second quarter of 2004. The net interest spread decreased 17
basis points between 2003 and 2004 and the net interest margin decreased by 22
basis points.
Taxable equivalent net interest income for the first six months of 2004 was $52.5 million, an increase of approximately $690 thousand over the $51.8 million for the first six months of 2003. Net interest spread decreased 6 basis points to 3.67% and net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 3.87% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2003.
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 June 30, 2004.
TrustCo Bank Corp NY
Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued
June 30, 2004
Nonperforming loans: Total nonperforming loans were $2.9 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease from the $3.9 million of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2003. There were no nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2004 and 2003. Restructured loans were $2.9 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $3.9 million at June 30, 2003. There were no loans past due three payments or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2004 and 2003.
All of the $2.9 million of nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2004 are restructured residential real estate or retail consumer loans. The vast majority of nonperforming loans in the past were concentrated in the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. Since 2000, there has been a continued shifting in the components of Trustco's problem loans and chargeoffs from commercial and commercial real estate to the residential real estate and retail consumer loan portfolios. Contributing factors to this shift include:
` 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 selected sections of
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 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 June 30, 2004 of $2.7 million, consisted of restructured residential loans. During the first six months of 2004, there have been $61 thousand of commercial loan charge offs, $192 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $3.3 million of mortgage loan charge offs as compared with $134 thousand of commercial loan charge offs, $290 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $5.3 million of mortgage loan charge offs in the first six months of 2003. Recoveries during the first six-month periods have been $2.8 million in 2004 and $2.0 million in 2003.
Real estate owned: There was no real estate owned as of June 30, 2004 and 2003.
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 June 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $48.3 million, which represents a decrease from the $48.7 million in the allowance at December 31, 2003. The allowance represents 4.14% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2004 compared to 3.88% at June 30, 2003. The provision charged to expense was $150 thousand for the second quarter of 2004 and $300 thousand for the second quarter of 2003. For the six-month periods, the provision charged to expense was $300 thousand for 2004 and $600 thousand for 2003.
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 change 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.
In the Company's primary market area, consumer bankruptcies and defaults in general have risen significantly since 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.
Management continues to monitor these and other asset quality trends in the review of allowance adequacy.
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 June 30, 2004 was $8.4
million, an increase of $867 thousand from the comparable period in 2003. During
the 2004 period, the Company recorded net securities gains of $3.6 million
compared to $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2003. Excluding these
securities transactions, noninterest income decreased from $5.3 million in the
second quarter of 2003 to $4.8 million for the comparable period in 2004.
Total noninterest income was $17.1 million for the six months of 2004 compared to $15.4 million for 2003. Excluding net securities gains of $7.8 million and $5.3 million, in the six month period ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the balances for 2004 and 2003 would have been $9.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
Net securities transactions have been significant for both the six-month and quarterly results in 2004 and 2003. The level of these transactions reflects management's decision to liquidate certain investments as interest rates were at historically low levels and therefore the gains on security sales were high. These sales provide the Company with additional liquidity for potential reinvestment at higher interest rates later in 2004. Management also has begun liquidating certain of the equity investments that had accumulated over the last several years as part of the expansion program to acquire other companies.
Trust department income decreased by $41 thousand to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2004. The reduction in trust fee income is the result of a decrease in assets under management from $961 million as of March 31, 2004 to $945 million as of June 30, 2004.
Service fees and other income are down between 2004 and 2003 due primarily to loan volume and refinancing activities.
Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2004 and 2003 was $11.7
million and $12.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, total noninterest expense was $24.2 million and $25.2 million,
respectively.
Salaries and employee benefits cost increased from $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2003 to $5.2 million for the comparable period in 2004. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is the result of additional personnel due to the branch expansion program and normal employee turnover.
Similar increases in salaries and benefits were also noted for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to 2003. Total salaries and employee benefits were $10.5 million for 2004 and $10.3 million for 2003.
Net occupancy expense increased $98 thousand for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 2003 due primarily to the new branch operations and the cost of utilities.
The TrustCo branch expansion program added two new offices during the first six months of 2003 and five additional sites in the second half of 2003. No new locations were opened during the first half of 2004, however approximately seven locations are under development in the Capital District, downstate New York and the Orlando, Florida regions and are expected to open prior to year-end 2004.
Equipment expense decreased approximately $201 thousand during the second quarter of 2004 compared to 2003 as a result of reduced computer expense due to contracts not being renewed in 2004 as a result of the 2002 computer software conversion. On a year to date basis, equipment expense decreased by $974 thousand to $940 thousand due to this non-renewal and the write-off in 2003 of equipment and software no longer utilized.
Professional service expenses for the second quarter of 2004 were $953 thousand, an increase of $176 thousand from the comparable period in 2003. On a year to date basis, professional service expenses were $1.8 million in 2004 compared to $1.4 million in 2003. Included in the 2004 expense accounts were additional fees paid for consultants to assist in the upcoming 2004 computer software conversion. Those expenses were not incurred in 2003.
Outsourced services decreased from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. On a year to date basis, outsourced services were $2.2 million in 2004 compared to $3.1 million in 2003. These costs are for data processing, item processing and certain back room operations that were transferred to a third party vendor in the fourth quarter of 2003. The decrease in outsourced services expense between 2003 and 2004 was the elimination of one item of outsourced service in the latter part of 2003 that was brought back in-house. There was a reduction in the fees paid to the third party services as a result of this change, however the additional work was absorbed by the existing TrustCo employees.
Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2004 and 2003, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of
$6.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively. This resulted in an effective tax
rate of 32.2% for 2004 and 29.5% for 2003. For the six months of 2004, total
income tax expense was $13.8 million compared to $11.0 million for 2003. This
resulted in an effective tax rate of 32.6% for 2004 and 29.3% for 2003. The
increase in effective tax rates during 2004 is primarily due to a reduction in
the proportion of tax exempt income to total pre-tax income as compared to 2003.
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.
Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2004 was $214.6 million, a decrease of $12.1 million from the year-end 2003 balance of $226.8 million. The change in shareholders' equity between year-end 2003 and June 30, 2004 primarily reflects net income retained by TrustCo ($ 6.2 million), the proceeds from shares issued upon the exercise of stock options ($5.3 million), a $17.1 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income and a $6.5 million increase in treasury stock.
The change in the accumulated other comprehensive income is a result of the reduction in the unrealized appreciation in value of the securities available for sale portfolio. As noted previously, since the end of the first quarter of 2004 there has been a significant increase in the general market interest rates, which have therefore caused a reduction in the market value of these securities.
TrustCo declared dividends of $0.300 per share during the first six months of 2004 and 2003. These resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 78.1% in 2004 and 83.6% in 2003. The Company achieved the following capital ratios as of June 30, 2004 and 2003.

In addition, at June 30, 2004 and 2003, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio (excluding the mark to market effect of securities available for sale) was 7.41% and 7.76%, respectively, compared to a minimum regulatory guideline of 4.00%.
Critical Accounting Policies
Pursuant to SEC guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies that are judged to be critical policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and that require management's most difficult subjective or complex judgments.
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. Included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2003, the Company is subject to interest rate risk as its principal market risk. As noted in Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2004), the Company continues to respond to changes in interest rates in a fashion to position the Company to meet both short term earning goals but to also allow the Company to respond to changes in interest rates in the future. The average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments has decreased from $540.6 million in 2003 to $486.1 million in 2004. As investment opportunities presented themselves, management began investing funds from the federal funds sold and other short-term investment portfolio into the securities available for sale and loan portfolios. This trend is expected to continue into the third quarter. The Company believes there was no significant change to its interest rate risk during the second quarter of 2004.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon this evaluation of those disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Further, no evaluation of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

The following is the text of Article VI of TrustCo's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as approved for amendment:
6. The entire Board of Directors, consisting of not less than five (5)
members and not more than fifteen (15) members, shall be divided into three
(3) classes of not less than two (2) members each, which classes are hereby
designated as Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors of
Class A shall equal one-third (1/3) of the total number of directors as
determined in the manner provided in the Bylaws (with any fractional
remainder to count as one); the number of directors of Class B shall equal
one-third (1/3) of said total number of directors (or the nearest whole
number thereto); and the number of Directors in Class C shall equal said
total number of directors minus the aggregate number of Directors in
Classes A and B. At the election of the first Board of Directors, the class
of each of the members then elected shall be designated. The term of office
of each member then designated as a Class A director shall expire at the
annual meeting of shareholders next ensuing, that of each member then
designated as a Class B director at the annual meeting of shareholders one
year thereafter, and that of each member then designated as a Class C
director at the annual meeting of shareholders two years thereafter. At
each annual meeting of shareholders held after the election and
classification of the first Board of Directors, directors to succeed those
whose terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office
for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders
and until their respective successors are elected and have qualified or
until their respective earlier displacement from office by resignation,
removal or otherwise.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the authority to establish from time to time the exact number of directors, as shall be set forth in resolutions that may be adopted by the Board of Directors.

Services and types of services provided pursuant to Additional

hereunder and not by any other third party or by TRUSTCO itself;

assets but not for wealth management assets of its customers or its
Affiliates' customers.
Terms of Service
The use of the Services by TRUSTCO and its Customers shall conform to the terms, procedures, requirements, and limitations ("Terms of Services") contained in the documentation and other instructions provided to TRUSTCO on the first Business Day after the TRUSTCO assets are converted to the SunGard AddVantage system and TRUSTCO has accepted the commencement of the Base Services by SWMS, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld ("Conversion Date") and from time to time amended.

SWMS' ability to deliver the Services is dependent upon TRUSTCO handling certain responsibilities which are critical to the delivery of the Services including, but are not limited to, the responsibilities listed on Schedule K. As such, TRUSTCO agrees to perform the critical responsibilities listed on Schedule K in accordance with the Terms of Service. Scope of Use TRUSTCO may use the Services only in the ordinary course of its business operations and for its own internal business purposes, which shall include making the Services available to its Customers as provided herein.

Additional Services
During the Term, SWMS will perform such Additional Services as the Parties from time to time agree in writing in accordance with the Additional Services Task Order procedures described in Section 3.7.
Changes
If, at any time, SWMS determines, reasonably and in good faith, that a
material change or addition to any of the Base Services is required to
efficiently continue provision of the Base Service or Additional
Services, SWMS shall give written notice to TRUSTCO of the proposed
change or addition and an estimate of the additional project time
required to complete the proposed change or addition ("Changes").
Changes which are required in order to comply with regulatory changes
will be effective upon provision of notice by SWMS to TRUSTCO. For all
other changes, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such
notice, TRUSTCO shall give written notice to SWMS that TRUSTCO elects
to (a) disagree with SWMS's Changes or (b) accept SWMS's Changes.
TRUSTCO shall be deemed to have elected to implement SWMS's Changes if
no such notice is received by SWMS within ten (10) business days of
TRUSTCO's receipt of such notice. If TRUSTCO timely notifies SWMS that
it disagrees with SWMS's determination that the change or addition is
necessary, SWMS will reevaluate the determination, and, if necessary,
the parties shall institute informal dispute resolution pursuant to
17.2 (Dispute Escalation).
Additional Services Task Order Procedures
A. Additional Services shall be provided by SWMS only pursuant to a task order ("Additional Services Task Order") describing, at a minimum, the scope of such Additional Services; the charges, fees, expenses or other amounts to be paid to SWMS for such Additional Services ("Additional Services Charges"); and the impact, if any, that performance of the Additional Services will have on the Base Service Levels, and any other pending delivery or performance schedules or obligations of either Party hereunder. Upon execution of an Additional Services Task Order by a duly authorized representative of each Party, it shall be subject to and part of this Agreement and shall be binding on SWMS and TRUSTCO. To the extent there is any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of any Additional Services Task Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Additional Services Task Order shall control but only with respect to such Additional Services Task Order.
B. Additional Services which require special programming to the AddVantage system will be considered only pursuant to an Additional Services Task Order describing at a minimum, the scope of such Additional Services. SWMS will forward the request for programming on to AddVantage and will respond back to TRUSTCO within a reasonable period of time with an estimate of the cost of such programming and an estimate of the time frame for completion of the programming. The special programming will only be placed in line for development upon TRUSTCO's direction to proceed with the programming and agreement to pay for the programming costs and such fees will be subject to payment in accordance with the agreed upon Additional Services Task Order.
4. SWMS Personnel Assignment of SWMS Personnel
Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any Additional Services Task Order relating to Service Levels, SWMS will assign the number of SWMS Personnel reasonably necessary to perform the Services.
Subcontractors and Affiliates
A. The Services will be performed by SWMS, itself and through its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries or Affiliates. SWMS may subcontract any portion of the Services to third parties, including to SWMS Affiliates and non-Affiliates. SWMS will not disclose any confidential information of TRUSTCO to any unaffiliated subcontractor unless and until such subcontractor has agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such confidential information in the manner required by Section 12 and then only to the extent necessary for such subcontractor to perform those Services subcontracted to it. SWMS will remain responsible for the obligations it performs and those performed by any SWMS Third Party Provider to the same extent as if such obligations were performed by SWMS.
B. With respect to TRUSTCO Third Party Providers and Unaffiliated Third Party Providers, SWMS will not be responsible or liable to TRUSTCO to the extent SWMS's ability to deliver the Services, meet the Service Levels or other default is adversely affected by any failure, default or delay by such Third Party Provider, provided however that SWMS shall:

Third Party Provider and/or Unaffiliated Third Party Provider, in
its contract with SWMS, to provide the applicable services or
products in manner consistent with the Service Levels,

failure, default or delay,

Critical Problems (as defined in Section 7) caused by a TRUSTCO
and/or Unaffiliated Third Party Provider, and

delays by a TRUSTCO and/or Unaffiliated Third Party Provider.

To the extent within a Party's control, that Party will be responsible for, and will coordinate and oversee, compliance with those export laws concerning any items it exports or imports under this Agreement.
Service Levels
Service Levels
Commencing on the Conversion Date, SWMS shall provide the Base Services at a level of service at least equal to the levels of service set forth in Schedule C (Schedule C is entitled "Base Services); such levels of services are referred to herein as the "Base Service Levels"), and as set forth in more detail therein.
SWMS is relieved from any obligation to achieve any Service Levels pursuant to this Agreement if the failure to achieve any Service Level is caused by the action or inaction of TRUSTCO, its Affiliates, employees, their Customers, the TRUSTCO Third Party Providers, or the Unaffiliated Third Party Providers.
In the event SWMS fails to perform the Services as agreed, or fails to achieve a Service Level with respect to Services, that (a) results, or could immediately or imminently result, in financial loss or financial harm to an TRUSTCO Customer or (b) constitutes a serious violation of Bank Regulatory Requirements resulting in the applicable agency or regulator requiring the violation to be addressed by the full Board of Directors of TRUSTCO (a "Critical Problem"), TRUSTCO shall promptly notify SWMS in writing, electronically or telephonically of the occurrence of the Critical Problem, describing the circumstances in reasonable detail.
Issues which do no rise to the level of a Critical Problem will be handled through the normal Relationship Manager process.
E. With respect to Critical Problems, SWMS shall: Acknowledge receipt and provide a preliminary response to TRUSTCO's notice of such Critical Problem within one hour. Assign qualified, dedicated staff to analyze, identify and implement potential solutions to remedy the Critical Problem, working sixteen (16) hours per day, six (6) days per week. Commence corrective action to remedy the Critical Problem within one hour of notice of the Critical Problem from TRUSTCO. Provide status updates with respect to remedying the Critical Problem to TRUSTCO at least three times a day.
F. In the event SWMS fails to take the corrective action required
above with respect to a Critical Problem, and the Relationship
Managers are unable to agree on an appropriate course of action to
remedy the Critical Problem, the Relationship Mangers shall escalate
the dispute to the executive level of each Party, or higher if
warranted under the circumstances. If the appropriate executives are
unable to resolve the dispute, and the issue has not been
satisfactorily resolved by SWMS five business days after TRUSTCO has
declared the Critical Problem and which if necessary pursuant to
Section 7.1 (D) has been determined to be a Critical Problem, the
following remedial actions shall apply:
(i) For Critical Problems which are not related to the AddVantage System, TRUSTCO shall have the right take all reasonable and necessary steps and actions to remedy the Critical Problem using its own employees and Third Party Providers to assist SWMS or assume full responsibility for performance of that aspect of the Services to which the Critical Problem relates until such time as the Critical Problem is resolved and the service is capable of being performed in accordance with the Service Level Standard; provided, however, that Third Party Providers shall not be granted access to the AddVantage System or its proprietary information; and
(ii) For Critical Problems which are related to the AddVantage System, TRUSTCO shall have the right to procure such service from an alternate source for performance of that aspect of the service to which the Critical Problem relates until such time as the Critical Problem is resolved and the service is capable of being performed in accordance with the Service Level Standard.
G.. In the event TRUSTCO designates a failure to achieve a Service
Level as a Critical Problem and SWMS disagrees with such designation,
SWMS shall provisionally treat the problem as a Critical Problem for
the purposes of responding to and correcting the problem while the
parties work to settle the disagreement. The Parties' Relationship
Managers shall promptly meet in person or telephonically to attempt to
resolve the dispute with respect to such designation. In the event the
Relationship Managers cannot promptly resolve the dispute, the Parties
will resolve the dispute in accordance with the procedures of Section
17. In the event, it is determined that TRUSTCO improperly or
erroneously designated the failure as a Critical Problem, then TRUSTCO
shall pay to SWMS, as damages, the reasonable additional costs and
expenses incurred by SWMS as a direct result of such accelerated and
heightened response and remedial activities, all reasonable and
documented costs and expenses incurred by SWMS in connection with such
determination, together with liquidated damages in the amount of
$10,000.00 per occurrence, the Parties acknowledging that the
additional costs and expenses would not adequately and fully
compensate SWMS for the impacts, delays, disruptions and
inefficiencies caused by an improper or erroneous Critical Problem
designation by TRUSTCO; provided however, that TRUSTCO shall be
entitled to one erroneous Critical Problem designation each year of
the Term with no liability for damages.
H. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 16, SWMS agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TRUSTCO, its directors, officers and employees, from and against any liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees as provided herein) resulting from a claim by a TRUSTCO Customer arising out of or based on a Critical Problem caused solely by SWMS's failure to perform the Services as agreed, or failure to achieve a Service Level with respect to Services. In the event TRUSTCO is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7, the indemnification procedures outlined in Section 15.3 (Indemnification Procedures) shall apply.
I. Within 120 days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall mutually develop a list of criteria for monitoring and evaluating both Parties' performance under this Agreement (the "Report Card"). The Report Card is intended to provide an overall assessment of the Parties' performance based on major categories of Services ("Service Categories"), and shall not necessarily grade each service on a line by line basis. The Parties shall meet monthly for the first six months after the Effective Date, with at least the Relationship Managers in attendance, to discuss and complete the Report Card, cooperating in good faith in an effort to reach consensus, and noting points of disagreement, where applicable. Thereafter, the Parties shall meet quarterly to discuss and complete the Report Card for the prior quarter. The Report Card will be completed for the calendar quarters ending in March, June, September and December.
J. In the event a Party receives a failing grade in a Service Category, the Parties will mutually discuss, including at a minimum the Relationship Managers, the steps to be taken to respond to and remedy the problem ("Equitable Response"). The Equitable Response may include modification to the Services (without materially reducing the Services or the Service Level), Additional Services, or a credit or other monetary payment to fairly compensate the non-failing party for the losses or damages resulting from the deficient Service Category. In the event the Relationship Managers are unable to agree on a grade or an Equitable Response, the Relationship Managers will escalate the dispute to the executive level of each Party, or higher if warranted under the circumstances.
K. In the event the Parties' executives are unable to resolve the dispute and a Party has a failing grade (or the other Party asserts a Party has a failing grade) with respect to a Service Category for at least three (3) consecutive months, the deficiency shall be treated as a Critical Problem with respect to corrective action to be taken as set forth in Section 7.1 (C).
L. Adjustment of Service Levels The Parties will meet to review the Base Service Levels annually. As a result of those meetings and as necessary from time to time during the Term, the Parties may by mutual agreement add to, delete or adjust the Base Service Levels. The reasons for those additions, deletions or adjustments may include new products, services or functionality; improved performance capabilities associated with advances in the technology and methods used to perform the Base Services; or changes in TRUSTCO's business or technology environment, such as the implementation of a major initiative that changes the nature of the Base Services. Where the Parties agree to make such an addition, deletion or adjustment, the Parties shall also agree on any adjustment in SWMS' charges appropriate and equitable to reflect changes in the costs to provide the Base Services in accordance with the new or adjusted Base Service Levels.
Additional Service Levels
With respect to each Additional Services project, the Parties may
agree on any services levels applicable to any such project
("Additional Service Levels") on a case by case basis and document
such Additional Services Levels in the applicable Additional Services
Task Order. With respect to any such Additional Service Levels,
beginning on the date specified in the applicable Additional Services
Task Order, SWMS will perform the Additional Services described in the
applicable Additional Services Task Order in conformance with the
Additional Service Levels set forth in such Additional Services Task
Order. The impact, if any, of the Additional Services on the Base
Service Levels shall, if reasonably feasible to identify in advance,
be set forth in the Additional Service Task Order as described in
Section 3.7, and the Services Levels shall be adjusted accordingly.
Responsibility for Achieving Service Levels
SWMS will not be responsible for the Service Levels to the extent SWMS's and/or its Affiliates abilities to deliver the Services are adversely affected by (i) TRUSTCO's failure to materially perform its obligations under this Agreement or any applicable Additional Services Task Order; (ii) the negligence, wrongful acts or omissions of TRUSTCO or its third party vendors(including those third party vendors under the Third Party Contracts that are managed by SWMS); (iii) the failure of any of TRUSTCO's employees to adequately perform their tasks related to the Services; (iv) unreasonable, untimely, incomplete or inaccurate information from TRUSTCO to the extent such materially and adversely affects SWMS ability to deliver the Services; (v) TRUSTCO's material failure to make information, materials, software, facilities, hardware, Equipment or qualified personnel available to SWMS in the manner required by this Agreement; (vi) the material failure of any Equipment owned or leased by TRUSTCO to the extent such failure is not caused by SWMS; (vii) the failure, default or delay by any third party not affiliated with SMWS; (viii) Industry Change, or (ix) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event as defined in Section 16.4. In the event of an Industry Change, SWMS shall not be responsible for the Service Levels directly affected by such change for a reasonable period of time to allow SWMS to adjust to the new industry demands.
Contract Management and Procedures

Each Party (an "Appointing Party") will appoint an individual (a
"Relationship Manager") who, from the Effective Date until replaced by

Each Party will notify the other promptly of any formal request by an authorized governmental agency or regulator to examine records regarding TRUSTCO that are maintained by SWMS. Upon TRUSTCO's written request, SWMS will provide any relevant information to those agencies and/or regulators and will subject itself to any required examination or regulation. The costs of ordinary and routine regulatory examinations and audits are included in the Base Services Charges. TRUSTCO will reimburse SWMS for the reasonable costs SWMS' incurs in connection with any extraordinary or non-routine regulatory examinations or audits by such regulators to the extent such extraordinary or non-routine regulatory examinations or audits are caused by TRUSTCO, its employees or Customers.

applicable law.
Audit of Charges
On a least thirty (30) days advance written notice by TRUSTCO, SWMS will permit TRUSTCO or its independent auditors (who will not be competitors SWMS, other than TRUSTCO's reporting external auditors), at no additional expense to SWMS, to access SWMS' books and records at a mutually agreeable time and place to perform an annual audit to the extent necessary to verify SWMS' charges to TRUSTCO under this Agreement and any Additional Services Task Order. TRUSTCO will provide SWMS with a copy of the audit report resulting from each audit. As promptly as practicable after providing the audit report, the Parties will review it and work in good faith to agree on any adjustment of charges and any appropriate future adjustments to SWMS' charges or practices under, and necessary for compliance with, this Agreement and any Additional Services Task Order. If SWMS desires to limit the scope of TRUSTCO's audit in order to protect confidential or proprietary information of SWMS or any customer of SWMS, the audit will be conducted by an independent third party auditor mutually acceptable to SWMS and TRUSTCO, who will verify SWMS' charges to TRUSTCO for the relevant period without disclosing any confidential information to TRUSTCO. Any third party auditors shall execute a non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement provided by SWMS before being granted access to SWMS' facilities and records.
Safeguarding Of Data and Confidentiality
TRUSTCO Data
As between TRUSTCO and SWMS, TRUSTCO owns and will continue to own all right, title and interest in and to all TRUSTCO Data. Upon the termination of the Termination Assistance Period or on any earlier date as TRUSTCO and SWMS mutually determine that SWMS will no longer need the TRUSTCO Data to render the Services, SWMS will either return TRUSTCO Data in its possession to TRUSTCO, or at TRUSTCO's election erase TRUSTCO Data from the data files maintained by SWMS. Except as provided herein, SWMS may not use TRUSTCO Data for any purpose except to provide the Services, nor may SWMS sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of or commercially exploit TRUSTCO Data or any part of thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SWMS shall have the right to use aggregated non-customer identifiable TRUSTCO Data relating to TRUSTCO and its Customers ("Aggregated Data") for purposes of improving the Services or marketing SWMS' services to other customers or potential customers of SWMS. When used by SWMS for these purposes and not for purposes of providing the Services, Aggregated Data will not include information that discloses the name or physical street address of a TRUSTCO Customer, and will not link information regarding the TRUSTCO Customer to the identity of the Customer.

SWMS shall retain TRUSTCO Data in accordance with the records retention provisions of the Record Retention Policy attached hereto as Schedule J; provided, however, that the Parties are in agreement that SWMS shall have the right to place reasonable limitations on the amount of historical data maintained on the system at any one time (currently two (2) years history), and that the delivery of electronic data in a standard format to TRUSTCO for cold storage purposes and the subsequent purging of history shall be deemed by the Parties to be in accordance with any Record Retention Policy adopted by the Parties. SWMS sole responsibility for data being purged from the system is to deliver the data to TRUSTCO in a standard format for TRUSTCO's use with its archival system. The parties recognize that additional history storage on the AddVantage system may be available for additional fees.

Termination
Termination for Cause
If either party materially defaults in performing any of its duties or obligations (except for payment obligations) under this Agreement or under an Additional Services Task Order, and fails to substantially cure that default within 60 days after receiving written notice specifying the default (or, concerning any default that cannot reasonably be cured within that 60 day period but is curable, if the defaulting party fails to proceed within that 60 day period to commence curing the default and thereafter to proceed with all due diligence to substantially cure it, and to substantially cure it within 120 days after the giving of that written notice), then the non-defaulting party may, by giving written notice of the default to the defaulting party, terminate the Additional Services Task Order that was breached and, where applicable due to material breach with respect to Base Services, this Agreement, as of a date specified in the notice of termination, which date will be no later than one year after the date on which the terminating Party's right to terminate arose. If the default is incapable of being cured, then the 60 day cure period shall not apply, and notice of termination may be given directly by the party not in default. A Party's right to give a termination notice under this Section 18 will expire once the default is substantially cured.
Termination for Non-Payment
If TRUSTCO defaults in the payment when due of any material amount under this Agreement or an Additional Services Task Order, other than amounts in dispute pursuant to Section 17 so long as any disputed amount for which payment is not made is attributable to specific Services that TRUSTCO reasonably contends have not been performed in accordance with this Agreement, and does not cure the default within 15 days after receiving written notice of the default, then SWMS may, by giving written notice of the default to TRUSTCO, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in the notice of termination, which date will be no later than one year after the date on which SWMS' right to terminate arose. SWMS right to give a termination notice under this Section will expire once TRUSTCO is current in its payment obligations hereunder, including any applicable interest payments.

However, neither this Agreement nor any Additional Services Task Order may be terminated under this Section 18 once the Insolvent Party ceases to be insolvent or be the subject of a proceeding relating to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver. ANY RIGHT OF ACCESS TO AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE SYSTEMS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE DEEMED AN EXECUTORY CONTRACT UNDER SECTION 365(n) OF TITLE 11 TO THE U.S. BANKRUPTCY CODE AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL AND FORCE AND EFFECT UPON THE TRUSTCO'S ELECTION AND TRUSTCO'S SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY OF THE OWNER.

partially compensate it for early termination of the Agreement and such
liquidated damages shall be in addition to TRUSTCO's obligation to pay any
other fees and expenses that are owed by TRUSTCO for Services provided up
to the effective date of termination. In the event of any termination by
TRUSTCO in accordance herewith on or after the Conversion Date, TRUSTCO
shall pay a termination fee equal to the following (based on the prevailing
rates for Treasury securities with a maturity comparable to the unexpired
term of the contract, as of the first business day of the month in which
termination is effective and as published in The Wall Street Journal) on
the effective date of termination of the minimum monthly payments that
would be due during the unexpired portion of the Term in accordance with
Section 3(d) of Schedule C: During the Initial Term of the Agreement-100%
of the net present value of the monthly payments due during the remaining
unexpired term of the Agreement; and During any renewal term an amount to
be determined by the parties at the time the renewal fees are negotiated.
18.5 Termination Assistance and Rights upon Termination or Expiration
Upon receiving any notice of termination by TRUSTCO, or upon expiration of the Term, SWMS will, for a period of up to 12 (twelve) months (plus an additional 30 days if the 12 month period ends on or between December 15 and December 31) after the termination or expiration of the Term ("Termination Assistance Period"), provide to TRUSTCO the termination assistance reasonably requested to allow the Services provided under this Agreement to continue, and to facilitate the orderly transfer of responsibility for performance of the Services to TRUSTCO or to a third party designated by TRUSTCO ("Termination Assistance Services"); provided that TRUSTCO pays SWMS for the resources used by SWMS to provide such Termination Assistance Services on a time and materials basis at rates equal to SWMS' then-current reasonable commercial rates for those resources charged to similarly situated customers.

All such advance payments will be payable on the first day of each month during the Termination Assistance Period, provided the first month's payment will be paid on the first day of the Termination Assistance Period if that day does not fall the first day of the month. For any termination or expiration of this Agreement other than as a result of a breach of any part of this Agreement or any Additional Services Task Order by TRUSTCO, SWMS will invoice TRUSTCO at the beginning of each month in arrears in an amount equal to the total charges payable to SWMS for any Termination Assistance Services provided during the previous month. The Termination Assistance Services to be provided will include without limitation the following:
A. Transition Out Plan Developing, together with TRUSTCO, a plan for the orderly transition of the performance of the Services from SWMS to TRUSTCO or to a third party designated by TRUSTCO.

Equipment leased by SWMS that is then dedicated to providing Services for
TRUSTCO under this Agreement, if and to the extent SWMS has the necessary
rights to allow the assumption of the leases, and (ii) purchase from SWMS
any Equipment owned by SWMS that is then dedicated to providing Services
for TRUSTCO under this Agreement. If TRUSTCO exercises its right under item
(ii), it will pay to SWMS an amount equal to the fair market value of the
applicable Equipment. SWMS will also provide all users manuals and other
documentation in its possession that relates to that Equipment. TRUSTCO
will assume responsibility under any third party software license fees or
maintenance agreements for that Equipment to the extent those
responsibilities relate to periods after the date of termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
D. Third Party Services Assigning, at TRUSTCO's request and expense, to TRUSTCO or its designee, any third party services then being used by SWMS solely in performing the Services pursuant to this Agreement; and, assisting TRUSTCO in obtaining, at TRUSTCO's expense, any necessary rights to any third party services then being utilized by SWMS in performing the Services and in the performance of services for any other SWMS Customer.

The Developed Software that are the subject of the rights granted under this subsection are collectively referred to as the "Transition SWMS Materials". The licenses to access and use the Transition SWMS Materials will be subject to the following:
1. Except with the prior written consent of SWMS, the Transition SWMS Materials will not be accessed, operated, directly or indirectly, (i) by persons other than employees of TRUSTCO, or (ii) on equipment that is not under the control of TRUSTCO.
2. The Transition SWMS Materials may only be accessed or used for continued use of the Services (or replacement or transitioned services) during the transition. TRUSTCO (i) will keep the Transition SWMS Materials confidential, (ii) will not at any time allow the Transition SWMS Materials, or any of the various components of them or any modifications to them, to be disclosed to or accessed by third parties, sold, assigned, leased or commercially exploited or marketed in any way, with or without charge, by TRUSTCO or its employees or agents and, (iii) except to the extent necessary for normal operation of the Transition SWMS Materials as permitted in this Agreement, will not permit the Licensed SWMS Materials to be accessed, copied or reproduced, in whole or in part, by any person at any time.
3.

Whenever possible, each provision, or any portion of each provision, of this Agreement and each Additional Services Task Order will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision, or any portion of any provision, of this Agreement or an Additional Services Task Order is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision, or portion of that provision, will be deemed restated to reflect the original intentions of the Parties as nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law, and, if capable of substantial performance, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be enforced as if this Agreement and that Additional Services Task Order was entered into without the invalid provision.
Counterparts
This Agreement and each Additional Services Task Order may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

SCHEDULE A
BASE SERVICES
The Base Services shall include the following summarized services which are more completely described in the Base Service Level Standards Schedule (B):
I. Conversion Services.
Upon execution of this Agreement and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, SWMS and TRUSTCO will jointly work
without delay to convert TRUSTCO's Wealth management Assets to the
SunGard AddVantage system and SWMS outsourcing solution by the
targeted date noted below or such later date as mutually agreed by the
parties. The conversion services shall include the following:
o Conversion Plan: Within a reasonable period of time after the
Effective Date, SWMS and TRUSTCO will jointly formulate a conversion
plan that identifies specific responsibilities of SWMS and TRUSTCO and
a schedule for completion of such responsibilities (the "Conversion
Plan").
o Data Conversion: Conversion of the current TRUSTCO wealth management
accounts from the Series 7 system to the SunGard AddVantage System in
accordance with the Conversion Plan which will include the following
services:
o SWMS shall provide the necessary Programming to convert the TRUSTCO assets from their current system.
o TRUSTCO and/or its current Third Party Provider shall be responsible for extracting appropriate data from their current System in order to populate the AddVantage files as follows:
o Account Master
o Interested Party Master
o Interested Party Sub-master
o Master Account related Central accounts
o Holdings/Tax/Cash Lots
o Non-standard conversion programs that have been done by SWMS for clients when appropriate data files could be obtained:
o Trade Date/Accrual Statement Accruals
o Pricing Overlay
o Upload of data for loading post conversion
income
o Implementation Support
The SWMS Conversion will result in the conversion of all reasonably necessary data contained in the final Conversion Plan which will enable the TRUSTCO wealth management accounts that are to be converted to be processed on the SunGard AddVantage system. SWMS shall be responsible for using the developed Conversion Programming to convert the TRUSTCO data files extracted from their current system to the format required by the AddVantage System. Historical data will not be converted from TRUSTCO's previous system. SWMS will maintain historical data going forward from the date of conversion. As noted in the Agreement two years of history will be maintained on the system. Older data will be purged on a scheduled basis and delivered to TRUSTCO in a standard format for use by TRUSTCO on their archival system. TRUSTCO and SWMS will jointly be responsible for identifying any data conversion errors created in the data extracted from the Series 7 system and the conversion to the AddVantage System. TRUSTCO will be responsible for correcting all errors which are caused by the data extract and SWMS will be responsible for correcting all errors created by the conversion programming which do not result from the data extract provided by TRUSTCO.
o Data Conversion Schedule:The conversion of TRUSTCO data from their current system to the SunGard AddVantage System will be targeted for completion by SWMS by August 1, 2004 subject to: i) the determination of the feasibility of successfully completing the conversion on that date based on the results of due diligence completed on TRUSTCO's current wealth management system provider by SWMS; ii) that the necessary communication lines can be installed on a timely basis; and iii) SWMS receives reasonable cooperation and necessary and good data (including accounts and assets which are reconciled with all custodians) from both TRUSTCO and their current wealth management system provider on a timely basis and in accordance with the conversion plan jointly adopted by SWMS and TRUSTCO.
o The conversion will be delayed if the test conversion and processing controls raise significant concerns which in SWMS or TRUSTCO's opinion would make a conversion by unwise.
o Establish Network Connectivity: SWMS shall provide connectivity from TRUSTCO to the AddVantage system through the installation of necessary communication and back up lines. The connectivity provided will be the amount determined by SWMS and its Affiliates necessary to support the services, but TRUSTCO may request communication line enhancements at an additional charge to TRUSTCO. The ongoing monthly connectivity and line management charges for the communication lines will be TRUSTCO's responsibility.
o TRUSTCO System Operations: During the period prior to the Conversion Date, TRUSTCO will be responsible for continuing to operate its current wealth management systems and for providing the appropriate and reasonable resources to assist SWMS with the orderly conversion of the TRUSTCO Data to the AddVantage system.
o Training: SWMS shall provide initial training prior to the Conversion Date and as jointly deemed necessary for a period of up to 30 days after the Conversion Date to the TRUSTCO staff and trainers on the use of the AddVantage system in accordance with the Conversion Plan. (The training will be performed both on site at TRUSTCO and at SWMS training facilities.) The training will be reasonably sufficient to enable TRUSTCO to access and use the Base Services.
o Post-Conversion On-Site Support: SWMS shall provide on site support for a period of two weeks after conversion or such longer period as may be necessary in SWMS's opinion to correct any conversion issues.
o Workflow Consulting Services: SWMS shall provide sample work flow forms and procedures and TRUSTCO a minimum of 120 person days of consulting services for the purposes of: (a) recommending workflow procedures and Quickflow forms to be adopted by TRUSTCO for utilization in processing of the wealth management assets after the Conversion Date; (b) helping create workflow forms; and (c) assisting TRUSTCO with implementation of workflow procedures and Quickflow forms.
o SQL Report Writing: SWMS will provide training to TRUSTCO on SQL to enable TRUSTCO to create reports which are not available as standard reports on AddVantage.

SCHEDULE C
BASE SERVICES CHARGES
Introduction
This Schedule details (i) the Base Charges payable by TRUSTCO for the Base Services described in the Agreement and (ii) the pricing methodologies applicable to the Base Services.
The Base Charges identified below, in the aggregate, compensate SunGard in full for the provision and performance of the Base Services as they currently exist. Except as set forth herein and in the Agreement, there are no additional charges or fees, however described, for the provision by SWMS of the Base Services. The Base Charges include charges for the SWMS Third Party Software and Equipment and the standard upgrades to and refreshes of the SWMS Third Party Software and Equipment sufficient to support the Base Services and satisfaction of the Service Levels set forth in Schedule B, during the Initial Term.
Conversion Charge
For conversion of the TRUSTCO Trust Assets to the SunGard AddVantage system TRUSTCO shall pay a one time conversion fee to SWMS of $* plus reasonable travel costs and per diem expenses. The conversion fee may be billed in increments or in a lump sum and these fees are payable within 30 days of receipt of the statement. In the event that the contract for the provision of SWMS' outsourcing services is terminated prior to the end of its initial term, the conversion charges provided for in this Agreement shall be considered by the parties to represent liquidated damages which shall be retained by SWMS to compensate it for the early termination of the agreement and such liquidated damages shall be in addition to any other fees and expenses which are owed by TRUSTCO to SWMS pursuant to the provisions of the contract.
Monthly Base Charge
3.1 During the Initial Term , TRUSTCO shall pay a Monthly Base Services Charge to SWMS, which shall be calculated as follows: i) during the Initial Term of the Agreement, the monthly Base Charges will be calculated on a pro-rata basis on the market value of all TRUSTCO Trust Assets relating to the Base Services, including without limitation, private wealth (personal trust) assets, institutional wealth (employee benefits, endowment and foundations) assets, safekeeping and custodianship assets and investment advisory assets, (the "TRUSTCO Trust Assets") as follows:
i) * basis points (* bps.) on the first $* market value of all the TRUSTCO Trust Assets under management;
ii) For all TRUSTCO Trust Assets in excess of $* and less than $* there shall be no charge;
MATERIAL INDICATED BY AN ASTERISK ("*") HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.
iii) * basis points (* bps) on TRUSTCO Trust Assets in excess of $* and less than $*; and
iv) * basis points (* bps) on all TRUSTCO Trust Assets in excess of $*.
v) An example of the calculation of the basis point fees on the first $* of assets is as follows:
. Each "basis point" (bps) is equal to one one-hundredth of one percent (0.01%); thus, for example, the Basis Point Fee of * basis points (* bps) of the wealth management assets is equal to * one-hundredths of one percent (*%) per annum of the total fair market value of the wealth management assets or $*. The monthly fee will be calculated on the basis of one twelfth (1 12th) of the annual basis point fee charge.
and ii) during any Renewal Term, the monthly Base Charges will be calculated in accordance with the agreements reached by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement. Any TRUSTCO proprietary fund assets and TRUSTCO collective fund assets for which TRUSTCO provides custody services ("Other Assets") shall be included in the calculation of total TRUSTCO Trust Assets, provided that if such assets are recorded in more than one place in the system, such assets shall only be counted once. Assets of accounts for which TRUSTCO does have investment authority but no custody that are established for the purpose of shadow accounting shall be included in the calculation of total Trust Assets. The Parties recognize and are in agreement that the monthly Base Charges payable by TRUSTCO to SWMS are * percent (*%) attributable to the delivery of operational services by SWMS to TRUSTCO and * percent (*%) attributable to the provision by SWMS to TRUSTCO of access to systems and customized software.
In addition to the monthly Base Charges TRUSTCO shall reimburse SWMS for all reasonable out of pocket expenses including postage, envelopes etc and pay a pro-rata portion of any mutually agreed upon fees for any Additional Services. Should TRUSTCO choose to utilize a statement type other than a standard SWMS statement format, TRUSTCO will be responsible for all costs in creating the statement type.
Provided that SWMS is not in material default of any of its obligations under this Agreement, TRUSTCO agrees that during the Term the Base Services shall be provided exclusively by SWMS for the TRUSTCO Trust Assets on the Effective Date and any additional TRUSTCO assets for which Base Services are subsequently provided by SWMS and not by any other third party engaged by TRUSTCO or by TRUSTCO itself.
The monthly Base Charges are subject to adjustment by SWMS upon 30 day notice in the event of a significant legal or regulatory change that results in an alteration in the way that trust account operations are required to be operated.
MATERIAL INDICATED BY AN ASTERISK ("*") HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SEC.
The monthly Base Charges are also subject to adjustment by SWMS upon
30 day notice in the event of a significant change in the way that
trust account operations are required to be operated that is not the
result of a legal or regulatory change; provided, however, that if
TRUSTCO should reasonably disagree with the proposed adjustment based
on its belief that the change is not significant enough to warrant the
proposed Base Charges adjustment, the Parties agree to handle the
disagreement in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of
Section 17.
The basis points factor for determining the monthly Base Charges (calculated on the entire market value of the TRUSTCO Trust Assets shall be subject to a minimum monthly charge. During the Initial Term TRUSTCO shall pay a minimum monthly Base Charge which is a prorated amount of an annual minimum fee of * dollars ($*) (the "Annual Minimum Fee"). In other words, if, at any time during the Initial Term, the monthly Base Charge as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall fall below the minimum Base Charge applicable to such year, TRUSTCO shall pay to SWMS the minimum Base Charge described above for such month.
4. Conversion Date Upon execution of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SWMS and TRUSTCO will jointly work without delay to convert TRUSTCO's Trust Assets to the SunGard AddVantage system and SWMS outsourcing solution.
5. Mutual Fund Trades, Equity Trades and Custody All eligible mutual funds will be traded through the SunGard Transaction Network and Union Planters Bank will serve as the custodian of TRUSTCO assets. SWMS shall be entitled to receive any revenue derived from such trades as part of its compensation. TRUSTCO will continue to be responsible for all trading charges for its Customers' assets.
6. Additional Storage on the AddVantage System For the Base Charges noted above SWMS provides two year's history plus the current year on the system. The history maintained on the system begins upon conversion and older history is purged on a systematic basis. TRUSTCO may retain a full five years history on the AddVantage system for an additional charge of * dollars ($*) per year for the fourth and fifth years of the Initial Term. Fees for maintaining additional history during any renewal term would be subject to agreement by the Parties on the fees to be paid.
7. Outside Tax Provider As noted in the Agreement, TRUSTCO is responsible for entering into a contract with an outside tax provider to prepare its 1099's and other tax reporting needs. TRUSTCO will be responsible for all fees in connection with the outside provider's services.
