Financial Statement Presentation The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the Company) include the accounts of the subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the TrustCo Bank Corp NY year-end Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are included in TrustCo Bank Corp NY's 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. 2. Earnings Per Share A reconciliation of the component parts of earnings per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 follows: Weighted (In thousands, Net Average Shares Per Share except per share data) Income Outstanding Amounts ----------------------------------------------------- For the quarter ended March 31, 2006: Basic EPS: Net income available to Common shareholders $12,366 74,871 $0.165 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock options - 392 (.001) ----------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS $12,366 75,263 $0.164 ===================================================== For quarter ended March 31, 2005: Basic EPS: Net income available to Common shareholders $14,907 74,881 $0.199 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock options - 605 (.002) ----------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS $14,907 75,486 $0.197 ===================================================== 5 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued 3. Stock Option Plans The Company has stock option plans for officers and directors. Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123R. Previously the Company had adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (Statement 123) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" (Statement 148). The Company's stock option plans were previously accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion 25) and as such, no compensation expense was ordinarily recorded for these plans. In the fourth quarter of 2005 the Board of Director's of the Company approved the accelerated vesting of all outstanding unvested stock option to purchase shares of common stock. These options were previously awarded to executive officers and employees under the 1995 and 2004 Stock Option Plans. The acceleration of vesting was done in anticipation of the adoption of Statement 123R. By accelerating the vesting of these options the Company estimated that approximately $1.3 million of future compensation expense, net of tax, would be eliminated. Options to purchase 882,100 shares of the Company's common stock, which would otherwise have vested from time to time over the next four years, became immediately vested and exercisable as a result of this action. The number of shares and exercise prices of the options subject to the acceleration remained unchanged. Also, all of the other terms of the options remain the same. The Company recorded $127 thousand of expense during the fourth quarter of 2005 related to this acceleration based upon an analysis performed in accordance with APB Opinion 25. The accelerated options included 749,500 options held by executive officers and 132,600 options held by other employees. Based upon the Company's closing stock price of $12.76 per share on the date of accelerated vesting certain of the options were below and others above the closing market price as follows: Grant Accelerated Exercise Date Vesting Shares Price ----- -------------- -------- 2005 411,200 $12.15 2004 394,500 $13.55 2002 76,400 $11.83 ------- 882,100 ======= The decision to accelerate the vesting of these options was made primarily to reduce non-cash compensation expense that would have been recorded in its income statement in future periods upon the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123R. 6 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued 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 three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 would have been as follows: (dollars in thousands except per share data) 2006 2005 ------- ------ Net income: As reported $12,366 14,907 Deduct: total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects - (191) ------- ------ Pro forma net income $12,366 14,716 ======= ====== Earnings per share: Basic - as reported $ .165 .199 Basic - pro forma .165 .197 Diluted - as reported .164 .197 Diluted - pro forma .164 .195 The weighted average fair value of each option as of the grant date, estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and calculated in accordance with Statement 123 was as follows for options granted in the year indicated. No options were granted in the first quarter of 2006. Employees' Directors' Plan Plan ---------- ---------- 2005 $1.675 1.480 The following assumptions were utilized in the calculation of the fair value of the options under Statement 123: Employees' Directors' Plan Plan ---------- ---------- Expected dividend yield: 2005 4.95% 4.95 Risk-free interest rate: 2005 3.91 3.76 Expected volatility rate: 2005 21.25 19.76 Expected lives 7.5 years 6.0 years 7 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued Under the 2004 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its eligible employees for up to approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock. Under the 1995 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its eligible employees for up to approximately 7.9 million shares of common stock. Under the 2004 Directors Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its directors for up to approximately 200 thousand shares of its common stock. Under the 1993 Directors Stock Option Plan, the Company could have granted options to its directors for up to approximately 531 thousand shares of its common stock. The source of shares issued as a result of stock option exercises is authorized, but unissued shares as well as treasury shares. Under each of these plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of the grant, and an option's maximum term is ten years. Options vest over five years from the date the options are granted for the employees plans and they are immediately vested under the directors' plan. A summary of the status of TrustCo's stock option plans as of March 31, 2006, and changes during the quarter ended, are as follows: Outstanding Options Exercisable Options ------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Option Option Shares Price Shares Price ------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, January 1, 2006 4,178,049 $10.85 4,178,049 $10.85 Exercised Options - 2006 (31,920) 5.62 (31,920) 5.62 ------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, March 31, 2006 4,146,129 10.89 4,146,129 10.89 ============================================================= The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 was approximately $227 thousand and $2.5 million, respectively. The shares used for the 2006 stock option exercises were issued from treasury shares, while previously unissued shares were used for the 2005 stock option exercises. The following table summarizes information about total stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2006: Weighted Average Weighted Range of Options Remaining Average Exercise Outstanding Contractual Exercise Price and Exercisable Life Price -------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less than $7.50 65,311 1.7 years $ 5.81 Between $7.51 and $10.00 2,136,317 4.7 years 9.58 Greater than $10.00 1,944,500 8.5 years 12.51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,146,129 6.4 years $10.89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $6.2 million. 8 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued The Company has awarded 2.7 million performance bonus units to the executive officers and directors. These units become vested and exercisable only under a change of control as defined in the plan. The units were awarded based upon the stock price at the time of grant and, if exercised under a change of control, allow the holder to receive the increase in value offered in the exchange over the stock price at the date of grant for each unit. 9 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued 4. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes the reported net income of a company adjusted for items that are accounted for as direct entries to equity, such as the mark to market adjustment on securities available for sale, foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and certain derivative gains and losses. At the Company, comprehensive income represents the sum of net income and items of other comprehensive income or loss, which are reported directly in shareholders' equity, net of tax, such as the change in net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale. Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of shareholders' equity, represents the net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net of tax. Comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $4.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively. The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive income/(loss): Unrealized gains/(losses) on securities: (dollars in thousands) ---------------------------------------- Unrealized net holding losses arising during the three months ended March 31, 2006, net of tax (pre-tax loss of $13,039). $(7,837) Reclassification adjustment for net loss realized in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2006, net of tax (pre-tax net loss of $288). 171 -------- Other comprehensive loss - three months ended March 31, 2006 $(7,666) ======== Unrealized net holding losses arising during the three months ended March 31, 2005, net of tax (pre-tax loss of $6,650). $(3,986) Reclassification adjustment for net gain realized in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2005 net of tax (pre-tax net gain of $3,652). (2,207) -------- Other comprehensive loss - three months ended March 31, 2005 $(6,193) ======== 10 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued 5. Benefit Plans The table below outlines the component's of the Company's net periodic expense (benefit) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans: Components of Net Periodic Expense/(Benefit) Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits ------------------------ ------------------------------ 2006 2005 2006 2005 ------ ------ ------ ------ Service cost $ 191 208 9 6 Interest cost 388 388 18 13 Expected return on plan assets (448) (463) (102) (101) Amortization of prior service cost 27 27 (114) (125) ------ ------ ------ ------ Net periodic expense/(benefit) $ 158 160 (189) (207) ====== ====== ====== ====== Contributions The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, that it did not expect to make any contributions to its pension and postretirement benefit plans in 2006. As of March 31, 2006, 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 2006. 6. Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards SFAS No. 123R In 2004, the FASB issued a statement to revise Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 and SFAS No. 95, "Share-Based Payment," that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments of that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method of transition on January 1, 2006. Under this method, SFAS No. 123R will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service period had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123. See Note 3, Stock Option Plans, for pro-forma earnings per share for stock-based compensation and information on the acceleration of vesting periods that occurred in 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 11 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) continued 7. 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 $3.2 million at March 31, 2006 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 March 31, 2006 was insignificant. 12 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholders TrustCo Bank Corp NY: We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, 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 24, 2006, 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, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial condition from which it has been derived. /s/ KPMG LLP ------------ KPMG LLP Albany, New York May 5, 2006 13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo" or "Company") during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, with comparisons to 2005 as applicable. Net interest margin is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion. The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2005 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 of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Following this discussion is the table "Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential" which gives a detailed breakdown of TrustCo's average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Overview TrustCo recorded net income of $12.4 million, or $0.164 of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to net income of $14.9 million or $0.197 of diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2005. The primary factors accounting for the year to date changes were: o Increase in the average balance of interest earning assets by $64.9 million to $2.82 billion for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the comparable period in 2005, 14 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 o Increase of $389 thousand in taxable equivalent net interest income, o Increase in the recapture of the provision for loan losses from $1.5 million at March 31, 2005 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2006, o Decrease in noninterest income from $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2005 to $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2006. Included in non interest income were $3.7 million of net gain on securities transactions for 2005 and $288 thousand of net losses on securities transactions for 2006. Also included in non interest income were $34 thousand and $368 thousand of net gains on the sale of real estate in 2006 and 2005, respectively, and, o An increase of $693 thousand in non interest expense. Asset/Liability Management The Company strives to generate its earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits, funding a prudent mix of earning assets. 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 first quarter of 2006 compared to the comparable period in 2005 is greatly affected by the change in interest rates in the marketplace in which TrustCo competes. Included in the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2005 compared to 2004. Most of the same market factors discussed in the 2005 Annual Report also had a significant impact on the first quarter 2006 results. TrustCo competes with other financial service providers based upon many factors including quality of service, convenience of operations, and rates paid on deposits and charged on loans. The absolute level of interest rates, changes in rates and customers' expectations with respect to the direction of interest rates have a significant impact on the volume of loan and deposit originations in any particular period. One of the most important interest rates used to control national economic policy is the "federal funds" rate. This is the interest rate utilized for institutions with the highest credit quality rating. The federal funds rate increased from 2.25% at January 1, 2005 to 4.75% by March 31, 2006. This is a 250 basis point increase during this time period. Over the same time period, for comparison purposes, the 10 year treasury rate increased from 4.21% at January 1, 2005 to 4.85% by March 31, 2006, an increase of only 64 basis points. The Federal Reserve has indicated its intention to continue to monitor economic expansion in the United States economy which may require additional increases in the federal funds rate subsequent to March 31, 2006. 15 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 These changes in interest rates have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities and federal funds sold as well as on interest expense on deposits and borrowings. New originations of residential real estate loans and new purchases of longer-term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10 year treasury. The federal funds sold portfolio and other short term investments are affected primarily by changes in the federal funds target rate. Deposit interest rates are most affected by the short term market interest rates. Also, changes in interest rates have an effect on the recorded balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, which is recorded at fair value. Generally as interest rates increase the fair value of the securities available for sale portfolio will decrease. The principal loan product for TrustCo is residential real estate loans. Interest rates on new residential real estate loan originations are influenced by the rates established by secondary market participants such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Because TrustCo is a portfolio lender and does not sell loans into the secondary market, the Company establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in relation to the long-term nature of a residential real estate loan, while remaining competitive with the secondary market rates. For the first quarter of 2006 the net interest margin decreased to 3.70% from 3.75% for the first quarter of 2005. The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors: - The average balance of securities available for sale increased by $224.9 million and the average yield decreased to 5.31%. - The average balance of federal funds sold and other short term investments decreased by $404.3 million and the average yield increased 203 basis points to 4.48%. The increase in yield on federal funds sold and other short-term investments is attributable to the increase in the target federal funds rate during these time periods. - The loan portfolio grew by $244.3 million to $1.50 billion and the average yield increased 13 basis points to 6.53%. - The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) increased $41.4 million and the average yield increased 84 basis points to 2.56%. These changes resulted in a net interest margin decrease of 5 basis points from 3.75% for the first quarter of 2005 to 3.70% for the comparable period in 2006. During the first quarter of 2006 the Company's strategy was to expand the loan portfolio by offering competitive interest rates as the rate environment began to increase. The TrustCo residential real estate loan product is very competitive compared to local and national competitors. The securities available for sale portfolio remained relatively consistent with the balance as of year end 2005. The increase in the average balance of securities available for sale from the first quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006 primarily reflects changes made throughout 2005. The strategy on the funding side of the balance sheet continues to be to attract customers to the Company based upon a combination of service, convenience and interest rate. The Company offered attractive long-term deposit rates as part of a strategy to lengthen deposit lives. This strategy has been successful but has also resulted in part of the increase in the deposit costs. 16 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 Earning Assets Total average interest earning assets increased from $2.75 billion in 2005 to $2.82 billion in 2006 with an average yield of 5.22% in 2005 and 5.89% in 2006. Income on average earning assets increased during this same time-period from $35.9 million in 2005 to $41.4 million in 2006. Loans The average balance of loans was $1.50 billion in 2006 and $1.25 billion in 2005. The yield on loans increased from 6.40% in 2005 to 6.53% in 2006. The combination of the higher average balances and the higher rates resulted in an increase in the interest income on loans by $4.4 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2005, the average balance of the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2006 increased in virtually all loan categories except consumer loans. The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $849.2 million in 2005 compared to $1.08 billion in 2006, an increase of 27.0%. The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 24 basis points in 2006 compared to 2005. TrustCo actively markets the residential 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 earlier, market interest rates have changed significantly as a result of national economic policy in the United States. During this period of changing 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 turn around 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. Though there is debate among nationally recognized economists the general tenor of the national economy is for improvement and increases in interest rates. Consequently the significant amount of refinancing that occurred during 2003 and early 2004 may be completed with only residual effects into 2006. Assuming a rise in long-term interest rates, the Company would anticipate that the unique features of its loan product will continue to attract customers in the residential mortgage loan area. The impact of the increase in the benchmark interest rate indices (prime rate, federal funds, etc.) is apparent in the change in the yield earned in the commercial and home equity loan portfolios. The rates earned in 2006 were 46 basis points, and 183 basis points, respectively, greater than in the first three months of 2005. Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale had an average balance of $1.10 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $874.1 million in 2005. These balances earned an average yield of 5.53% in 2005 and 5.31% in 2006. This resulted in interest income on the securities available for sale of $14.6 million in 2006 and $12.1 million in 2005. 17 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 The largest increase in the securities available for sale portfolio was within the category of Government Sponsored Enterprises which are debt instruments issued by FNMA, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The increase was $253.8 million in the average balance between the first quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. During 2005 and 2006 the Company increased it's investment in these instruments as a means of deploying excess liquidity that had been invested in Federal Funds sold and other short term investments. The net interest margin was positively affected by these steps because the rates earned on these investments were greater than the rates earned on the Federal Funds and other short term investments portfolio. The average balance of the State, County and Municipal portfolio decreased from $147.0 million for the first quarter of 2005 to $117.9 million for the first quarter of 2006. The tax equivalent yield on this portfolio was 7.74% in 2005 and 7.03% in 2006. The reduced balances outstanding reflect sales of long dated maturities of municipal bonds that occurred in 2005. These sales allowed the Company to recognize gains along with providing additional cash flows for reinvestment. For 2006 the long term interest rates as reflected by the 10 year Treasury have increased over the levels for 2005. The securities available for sale portfolio is reflected at fair value and therefore these investments reflected unrecognized depreciation of $22.8 million. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity or to the point that the unrealized loss diminishes. None of the depreciation in the value of this portfolio reflects a deterioration of the credit worthiness of the issuers or a concern as to the eventual repayment of all amounts due. Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments The 2006 first quarter average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments was $224.9 million, $404.3 million less than the $629.2 million in 2005. The portfolio yield increased from 2.45% in 2005 to 4.48% in 2006. Changes in the yield resulted from changes in the target rate set by the Federal Reserve Board for federal funds sold. Interest income on this portfolio decreased by approximately $1.3 million from $3.8 million in 2005 to $2.5 million in 2006. The federal funds sold and other short-term investments portfolio is utilized to generate additional interest income and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed into the loan and securities portfolios. 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, demand deposits, interest-bearing checking and time deposit accounts. Total average interest-bearing deposits (which includes interest bearing checking, money market accounts, savings, and certificates of deposit) increased from $2.28 billion during 2005 to $2.31 billion in 2006, and the average rate paid increased from 1.71% for 2005 to 2.53% for 2006. Total interest expense on these deposits increased $4.8 million to $14.4 million. 18 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 Average demand deposit balances increased by 6.8% during the period from the first quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006. The average balance was $226.4 million in 2005, and $241.9 million in 2006. Average short-term borrowings for the quarter were $91.8 million in 2006 compared to $82.5 million in 2005. The average rate increased during this time period from 1.94% in 2005 to 3.44% in 2006. Rates on short-term borrowings tend to change with the rates on the target Federal Funds. Net Interest Income Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $389 thousand to $26.2 million in 2006. The net interest spread decreased from 3.50% in 2005 to 3.33% in 2006. The net interest margin decreased by 5 basis points to 3.70% for the first quarter of 2006. Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans which are those loans in a nonaccrual status, loans that have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring, 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 restructured loans. The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of March 31, 2006. Nonperforming loans: Total nonperforming loans were $3.4 million at March 31, 2006, an increase from the $3.2 million of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2005. There were $1.9 million nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2006 compared to $1.0 million at March 31, 2005. Restructured loans were $2.1 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $1.5 million at March 31, 2006. There were no loans at March 31, 2006 and 2005 that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. All of the nonperforming loans at March 31, 2006 and 2005 are residential real estate or retail consumer loans. 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. TrustCo strives to identify borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulties and to work aggressively with them so as to minimize losses or exposures. Beginning in 2004 the number of new bankruptcy filings in the Capital District area were lower than statewide trends. Also the demand for housing in the Capital District area has increased which has resulted in increased real estate prices in selected sectors of the marketplace. These trends may be indicators of future economic stability for this region and a continued lessening of loan charge offs. 19 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 Total impaired loans at March 31, 2006 of $1.5 million, consisted of restructured retail loans. During the first quarter of 2006, there were no commercial loan charge offs, $12 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $356 thousand of residential mortgage loan charge offs as compared with $314 thousand of commercial loan charge offs, $92 thousand of consumer loan charge offs and $357 thousand of residential mortgage loan charge offs in the first quarter of 2005. Recoveries during the quarter were $1.4 million in 2005 and $820 thousand in 2006. Though the economic climate in the Upstate New York area has suffered over the last several years, resulting in higher bankruptcies and relatively flat real estate prices, overall economic trends in the last two years have been improving. As noted previously, bankruptcies in the Capital District area have lagged statewide trends and general housing prices have continued to increase. These positive trends have helped marginal credits better manage their debt load. Because of continued improvement in nearly all of the indicators of the Company's credit quality and management's assessment of economic conditions and risk, combined with the continuation of significant loan recoveries and the level and nature of recent loan charge offs, a negative provision of $1.8 million for the first quarter was recognized, compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. 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 risk inherent in the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $44.0 million, which represents a decrease from the $48.5 million in the allowance at March 31, 2005. The allowance represents 3.84% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2005 compared to 2.88% at March 31, 2006. 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: o The magnitude and nature of the recent loan charge offs and recoveries, o The growth in the loan portfolio and the implication that has in relation to the economic climate in the bank's business territory, and o The improving economic environment in the upstate New York territory over the last two years. Management continues to monitor these factors in determining future provisions or negative provisions for loan losses in relation to the economic environment, loan charge-offs, recoveries and the level and trends of nonperforming loans. Should these trends continue, negative provisions for loan losses would, in all likelihood, also continue. 20 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable sources of funding and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. TrustCo's earnings performance and strong capital position enable the Company to raise funds easily in the marketplace and to secure new sources of funding. The Company actively manages its liquidity through target ratios established under its liquidity policies. Continual monitoring of both historical and prospective ratios allows TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. Management has also defined various degrees of adverse liquidity situations, which could potentially occur, and has prepared appropriate contingency plans should such a situation arise. Noninterest Income Total noninterest income for the first quarter was $3.3 million, compared to $7.6 million in 2005. Included in the first quarter results are net securities gains of $3.7 million in 2005, and losses of $288 thousand in 2006. Excluding these securities transactions, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2006 was $3.6 million, compared to $4.0 million in 2005. Trust department income decreased to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. Trust department assets under management were $891 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $946 million at March 31, 2005. Other noninterest income decreased to $424 thousand in the first quarter of 2006 from $774 thousand in the first quarter of 2005 due to the gain on sale of properties in 2005. Noninterest Expenses Total noninterest expense increased from $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Within the category of noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits increased $193 thousand to $5.0 million for 2006. Net occupancy expense increased $124 thousand to $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2006. The increase is the result of new branch lease costs. Equipment expense increased $94 thousand between the first quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to the additional depreciation on new branch equipment. Income Taxes In the first quarter of 2006, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $6.3 million as compared to $7.9 million for 2005. The effective tax rates were 33.8% and 34.5% for the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The tax expense on the Company's income was different than tax expense at the statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to tax exempt income and the effect of New York State income taxes. 21 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 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 capital retention. Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2006 was $221.8 million, a decrease from the $228.7 million at year-end 2005. TrustCo declared dividends of $0.160 per share in the first quarter of 2006. This results in a dividend payout ratio of 96.8% in 2006. In addition, since year end 2005 TrustCo's total shareholders' equity has been affected by the purchase of $2.0 million in additional treasury stock, a increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss from the unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $7.7 million and the issuance of common stock as a result of stock option exercises of $2.3 million. The Company achieved the following ratios as of March 31, 2006 and 2005: March 31, Minimum Regulatory 2006 2005 Guidelines ------------------------------------------ Tier 1 risk adjusted capital 16.07% 17.33% 4.00% Total risk adjusted capital 17.34% 18.61% 8.00% In addition, at March 31, 2006 and 2005, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio (excluding the mark to market effect of securities available for sale) was 7.99% and 7.94%, respectively, compared to a minimum regulatory requirement of 4.00%. Critical Accounting Policies: Pursuant to recent 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 2005 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. 22 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 Proposed Accounting Standards: SFAS No. 123R In 2004, the FASB issued a statement to revise Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 and SFAS No. 95, "Share-Based Payment," that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments of that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method of transition on January 1, 2006. Under this method, SFAS No. 123R will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service period had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123. See Note 3, Stock Option Plans, for pro-forma earnings per share for stock-based compensation and information on the acceleration of vesting periods that occurred in 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 23 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis - continued March 31, 2006 STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY; INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL The following table summarizes the component distribution of average balance sheet, related interest income and expense and the average annualized yields on interest earning assets and annualized rates on interest bearing liabilities of TrustCo (adjusted for tax equivalency) for each of the reported periods. Nonaccrual loans are included in loans for this analysis. The average balances of securities available for sale is calculated using amortized costs for these securities.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2005 the Company is subject to interest rate risk as its principal market risk. As noted in detail throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2006, 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. Consequently the average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments has decreased to $224.9 million in 2006 from $629.2 million in 2005. As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to continue to invest 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 second quarter. The Company believes there was no significant change to its interest rate risk during the first quarter of 2006. Item 4. Controls and Procedures An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. 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 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 systems of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. 25 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. 26 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
