Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.	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 period amounts are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current period presentation. The net income reported for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012, or any interim periods. These financial statements consider events that occurred through the date of filing.

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, 2012 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

There were no sales or transfers of held to maturity securities during 2012 and 2011.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio by type and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”

In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether management intends to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI on debt securities shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 274 securities, 51 of which were in an unrealized loss position, and are discussed below.

Mortgage-backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations - Residential

At March 31, 2012, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily GNMA (Ginnie Mae), FNMA (Fannie Mae) and FHLMC (Freddie Mac), institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

Corporate bonds

In the case of corporate bonds, the Company's exposure is primarily in bonds of firms in the financial sector. Changing market perceptions of that sector and of some specific firms has had a negative impact on bond pricing. All of the corporate bonds owned continue to be rated investment grade, all are current as to the payment of interest and the Company expects to collect the full amount of the principal balance at maturity. The Company actively monitors the firms and the bonds. The Company has concluded that the decline in fair value is not attributable to credit quality and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises

At March 31, 2012, the Company has unrealized losses on U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

As a result of the above analysis, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses for credit or any other reason.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing interest. As a result, non-accrual loans includes all loans 90 days past due and greater as well as certain loans less than 90 days past due that were placed in non-accruing status for reasons other than delinquent status.

Interest on nonaccrual and restructured loans that was collected and recognized as income during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, was not material.

The Company did not acquire any loans with deteriorated credit quality in 2012 and 2011.

The Company has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), as impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured in a TDR.

A loan for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered a TDR and is classified as impaired. TDR’s, which are included in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is considered collateral dependent.

In the preceding tables, the average recorded investment in impaired loans includes the year-to-date average of all impaired loans.

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as impaired.

Management evaluates impairment on commercial and commercial real estate loans that are past due as well as in situations where circumstances dictate that an evaluation is prudent. If, during this evaluation, impairment of the loan is identified, a charge-off is taken at that time. As a result, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, based upon management's evaluation and due to the sufficiency of chargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to a specific impaired loan(s).

Index

As of both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total TDR's amounted to $5.2 million.

As of March 31, 2012, all loans classified as TDR's are on nonaccrual. In addition, due to the sufficiency of prior chargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to TDR's and the impact of the identification of these loans as TDR's did not have a material impact on the allowance. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were $28 thousand of chargeoffs on loans identified as TDR's.

The Company is not committed to lend any additional amounts to borrowers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR's.

In addition to the loans in the preceding tables, as of March 31, 2012, the Company has approximately $1.5 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans which were classified as TDR's as a result of modifications prior to 2011. In these cases, the loan modification included a reduction in the stated interest rate on the loan to the current market rate available. These loans were in nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, these loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms.

In situations where the Bank considers a loan modification, management determines whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by performing an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company's underwriting policy.

The modification of the terms of these loans were the result of the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection, and included the deferral of all past due amounts for a period of generally 60 months in accordance with the bankruptcy court order.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. In situations involving a borrower filing for bankruptcy protection, however, a loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due, consistent with the treatment of the bankruptcy court.

The TDR's that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses as they were previously identified as nonaccrual loans. As a result, the underlying collateral was evaluated at the time these loans were placed on nonaccrual, and a charge-off was taken at that time, if necessary. Collateral values on these loans, as well as all other nonaccrual loans, are reviewed for collateral sufficiency on a quarterly basis.

Index

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. On at least an annual basis, the Company's loan review process analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company's credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. All existing substandard loans are considered impaired.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those loans classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. All substandard loans are considered impaired.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Bank's collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The payment status of these homogeneous pools at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of past due loans table. In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is presented in the recorded investment in non-accrual loans table.

6.	Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices or similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the value that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Index

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities:

Securities Available for Sale: The fair value of securities available for sale are determined utilizing an independent pricing service for identical assets or significantly similar securities. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows. This results in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual method and included in the income statement in the respective investment class under total interest income. Also classified as available for sale securities are equity securities where fair value is determined by quoted market prices and these are designated as Level 1. The Company does not have any securities that would be designated as level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. This results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally have had a chargeoff through the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. When obtained, non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Indications of value for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are obtained from third party providers or the Company’s internal Appraisal Department. All indications of value are reviewed for reasonableness by a member of the Appraisal Department for the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Discounts are applied as necessary based on the nature of the property, the aging of the valuation and other factors.

The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values of financial instruments. Following is a brief summary of the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair values and are classified as level 1.

Loans

The fair values of all loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Index

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for noninterest bearing deposits, interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date resulting in a level 1 classification. The carrying value of all variable rate certificates of deposit approximates fair value resulting in a level 2 classification. The fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar size and remaining maturity resulting in a level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification consistent with the asset or liability that they are associated with.

Short-Term Borrowings and Other Financial Instruments

The fair value of all short-term borrowings, and other financial instruments approximates the carrying value resulting in a level 2 classification.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Such financial instruments consist of commitments to extend financing and standby letters of credit. If the commitments are exercised by the prospective borrowers, these financial instruments will become interest earning assets of the Company. If the commitments expire, the Company retains any fees paid by the prospective borrower. The fair value of commitments is estimated based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the borrower. For fixed rate commitments, the fair value estimation takes into consideration an interest rate risk factor. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees, which are considered to be immaterial.

The Company does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or any other instruments commonly referred to as derivatives.

Accumulated other comprehensive income	$	(2,493	)		2,546		53

8.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition, but the additional disclosures are included in Note 6.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The adoption of this amendment changed the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Company as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity. A new statement of other comprehensive income is included as part of the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012.

These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the 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, 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.

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, 2012 and 2011.

Introduction

The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, with comparisons to 2011 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 2011 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.

Financial markets continued to present mixed messages during the first quarter of 2012. Equity markets produced strong gains during the quarter with the S&P 500 Index up 12.0%. Credit markets continued to show significant volatility during the quarter, with interest rates generally up from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. For example, the 10 year Treasury yield increased 34 basis points to 2.23% from the end of 2011 to the end of the first quarter, however the yield was significantly higher and lower than the ending point during the course of the quarter. The target Fed Funds range remained unchanged at zero to 0.25% during the first quarter.

Underlying national economic conditions remain subdued, with persistent issues in regard to unemployment and continued high levels of financial leverage in some sectors. The housing market remains troubled and issues regarding home foreclosures remain prominent topics of discussion in the media and within government. Federal deficits and debt levels have received significant political and media attention, and sovereign fiscal issues in a number of nations, including Greece, Ireland, Spain and others have caused significant uncertainty in financial markets worldwide. International efforts to address these issues have reduced the apparent near term risks, but significant uncertainty remains.

The pace of bank failures has declined from 2011. Most closures have been the result of capital and asset quality problems, rather than the liquidity issues that resulted in the failures and near-failures of some of the largest financial institutions in the world during the initial phase of the financial crisis. The 2008 through early 2010 period saw unprecedented intervention by governments in markets and the financial services industry as the United States saw the two largest bank failures in its history in 2008, as well as failures of other major financial institutions, forced mergers and massive government bailouts. The United States Government responded to these events with legislation, including the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which authorized the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2010 (“ARRA”), more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package, which was intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), implemented a variety of major initiatives, including a sharp easing of monetary policy and direct intervention in a number of financial markets, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Treasury Department and other bank regulatory agencies also instituted a wide variety of programs.

Index

The FRB has lowered its expectations for near term economic recovery in the United States and many economists have done the same. The overhang of significant loan and asset quality problems, as well as uncertainty regarding the eventual need for the FRB to move away from its easy money policy and the need for the FRB and other elements of the government to withdraw various supporting mechanisms remain concerns for both the economy and financial markets. Although the FRB’s quantitative easing programs have ended in terms of adding to its holdings of financial assets, it continues to maintain its positions. It is not clear how aggressive the government will be in unwinding some of the programs that are now in place, if any of those programs are to be unwound at all. More recently, the FRB has attempted to influence the shape of the yield curve by selling shorter term bonds and buying longer term bonds, with a goal of reducing longer term interest rates. The federal government, primarily through the Treasury Department and the federal banking agencies, is also implementing the financial reform bill, the “Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act.”), which will likely have a significant impact on the financial services industry. Regulatory changes that have been implemented to date have reduced interchange revenue level that banks previously earned.

TrustCo believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services has enabled the Company to avoid significant impact from asset quality problems and that the Company’s strong liquidity and solid capital positions have allowed the Company to continue to conduct business in a manner consistent with its past practice. TrustCo has not engaged in the types of high risk loans and investments that have led to the widely reported problems in the industry. Nevertheless, the Company has experienced an increase in nonperforming loans, although management believes the level remains manageable. While the Company does not expect to see a significant increase in the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolios at March 31, 2012, should general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment, in the Company’s market areas deteriorate, the Company may experience an increase in the level of credit risk and in the amount of its classified and nonperforming loans.

In addition, the natural flight to quality that occurs in financial crises as investors focus on the safest possible investments, cuts in targeted interest rates and liquidity injections by the Federal government have all served to reduce yields available on both short term liquidity (Fed Funds and other short term investments) as well as the low risk types of securities typically invested in by the Company. During the quarter, the slope of the yield curve remained positive, with a modestly steeper slope at the end of the quarter than at the beginning. On average, however, the slope was consistent from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012. The slope of the curve, as measured by the difference between the 10 year Treasury and the 2 year Treasury, averaged 1.75% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 1.78% during the fourth quarter. The future course of interest rates is subject to significant uncertainty, as various indicators are providing contradicting signals. For example, the FRB’s quantitative easing through June 2011 was designed to maintain low interest rates, but the end of the quantitative easing program and the sheer volume of government financing expected in the coming quarters may lead to increased rates. Future gains in the level of economic activity could lead to higher inflation, and potentially higher rates. Potentially offsetting these issues is that Treasuries continue to be viewed as a safe haven by many investors around the world, with their demand serving to dampen any upward pressure on yields. Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act creates additional uncertainty for the Company and the Bank. This law significantly changes the current bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.

The level of home foreclosures nationally remains an area of intense political and media interest. Recently, there have been instances of foreclosures where the paperwork or process may not have met legal requirements. Much of this has been related to mortgages that were sold one or more times, and in many cases were eventually securitized. The changes of ownership and the securitization process may have contributed to the reported errors that have been uncovered. Also recently, efforts by mortgage servicers and secondary market purchasers of mortgage loans to require mortgage originators to repurchase troubled loans have also increased. TrustCo’s mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans it and its employees have originated and serviced. Files with the relevant documents are retained and monitored by staff members on Bank premises. As a result, management believes the Company is unlikely to be significantly affected by errors in foreclosing on its mortgage loans. In addition, because TrustCo generally originates loans to be held in its portfolio, the exposure that can come with being forced to buy back nonperforming loans that have been sold is limited.

Overview

TrustCo recorded net income of $8.9 million, or $0.095 of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to net income of $7.4 million or $0.096 of diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2011.

The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year were:

An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $305.8 million to $4.17 billion for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011,

An increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities of $196.9 million to $3.64 billion for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to 2011,

A decrease in net interest margin for the first quarter of 2012 to 3.23% from 3.40% in the prior year. The decline in the margin partly offset the beneficial impact of the increase in average earning assets, resulting in an increase of $713 thousand in taxable equivalent net interest income in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011.

A decrease in the provision for loan losses to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2011.

An increase of $390 thousand in net gains on securities transactions for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to same period in 2011.

Index

A decrease of $202 thousand in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to 2011.

The stock offering completed on July 6, 2011 raised net proceeds of $67.6 million, which was invested in earning assets.

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.

TrustCo’s results are affected by a variety of factors including competitive and economic conditions in the specific markets in which the Company operates and more generally in the national economy, financial market conditions and the regulatory environment. Each of these is dynamic and changes in any area can have an impact on TrustCo’s results. Included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2011 compared to 2010. Many of the same market factors discussed in the 2011 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on the first quarter results for 2012.

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. In the experience of management, the absolute level of interest rates, changes in interest 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.

Interest rates have a significant impact on the operations and financial results of all financial services companies. One of the most important interest rates used to implement national economic policy is the “Federal Funds” rate. This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating. The Federal Funds target rate decreased from 4.25% at the beginning of 2008 to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008. The target range has not been changed since. The FRB has also stated that it intends to hold rates at low levels in order to support growth. As noted in the most recent minutes of the FRB Board of Governors (“BOG”), “The BOG…continues to forecast that GDP growth would pick up only gradually in 2012 and 2013, supported by accommodative monetary policy, easing credit conditions, and improvements in consumer and business sentiment. The wide margin of slack in product and labor markets was expected to decrease gradually over the projection period, but the unemployment rate was expected to remain elevated at the end of 2013.” As a result, the BOG expects that “…conditions…are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014.”

Index

Traditionally interest rates on bank deposit accounts are heavily influenced by the Federal Funds rate. Deposit rates continued to decline in the first quarter of 2012 relative to prior periods, but at a slower pace as rates reach extremely low levels. Please refer to the statistical disclosures in the table below entitled “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential.”

The interest rate on the 10 year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates has a significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans. The Federal Reserve Board has attempted to influence rates on mortgage loans by means other than targeting a lower Federal Funds rate, including direct intervention in the mortgage-backed securities market, through purchasing these securities in an attempt to raise prices and reduce yields. Eventually, management believes, the FRB will have to unwind these positions, by selling mortgage-backed securities, which would likely have the opposite effect, putting upward pressure on rates, although other factors may mitigate this pressure. These changes in interest rates have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities, and Federal Funds sold and other short term instruments as well as on interest expense on deposits and borrowings.

The principal loan product for TrustCo is residential real estate loans. As noted above, residential real estate loans and longer-term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10 year Treasury. As noted previously, the 10 year Treasury yield, while fluctuating during the quarter, is at a very low level relative to historical yields.

Interest rates on new residential real estate loan originations are also 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 generally sell loans into the secondary market, the Company establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive with the secondary market rates. Financial market volatility and the problems faced by the financial services industry have lessened the influence of the secondary market, however various programs initiated by arms of the Federal government have had an impact on rate levels for certain products. Most importantly, a government goal of keeping mortgage rates low has been supported by targeted buying of certain securities, thus supporting prices and constraining yields, as noted above.

The Federal Funds sold portfolio and other short term investments are affected primarily by changes in the Federal Funds target rate. 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 these securities will decrease.

Interest rates generally remained below historic norms on both short term and longer term investments. As noted, deposit costs have generally continued to decline over the first quarter of 2012, although the rate of decline has slowed.

Index

While TrustCo has been affected somewhat by aspects of the overall changes in financial markets, it has not been affected to the degree the mortgage crisis affected some banks and financial institutions in the United States. Generally, the crisis revolves around actual and future levels of delinquencies and defaults on mortgage loans, in many cases arising, in management’s view, from lenders with overly liberal underwriting standards, changes in the types of mortgage loans offered, significant upward resets on adjustable rate loans and fraud, among other factors. The Company utilizes a traditional underwriting process in evaluating loan applications, and since originated loans are retained in portfolio there is a strong incentive to be conservative in making credit decisions. For additional information concerning TrustCo’s loan portfolio and non-performing loans, please refer to the discussions under “Loans” and “Nonperforming Assets,” respectively. Further, the Company does not rely on borrowed funds to support its assets and maintains a very significant level of liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet. These characteristics provide the Company with increased flexibility and stability during periods of market disruption.

For the first quarter of 2012, the net interest margin was 3.23%, down 17 basis points versus the prior year quarter. The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors:

●

The average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments increased by $113.2 million while the average yield was flat at 25 basis points. The increase in the average balance reflects the strong growth of deposit account balances, the lack of attractive longer term investment opportunities, the proceeds from the stock offering and the Company’s intent to maintain additional liquidity.

●

The average balance of securities available for sale and held-to-maturity securities increased by $21.3 million and the average yield decreased to 2.37% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2.89% for the same period in 2011. Within the total securities portfolio, the available-for-sale portfolio increased by $737 thousand, while the held-to-maturity portfolio increased by $20.6 million.

●

The average loan portfolio grew by $171.2 million to $2.52 billion and the average yield decreased 24 basis points to 5.16% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decline in the average yield primarily reflects the decline in market interest rates on new loan originations as older, higher rate loans pay down.

●

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) increased $196.9 million and the average rate paid decreased 18 basis points to 0.65% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities reflects the decline in market interest rates and changes in competitive conditions.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company continued to focus on its strategy to expand the loan portfolio by offering competitive interest rates as the rate environment changed. Management believes the TrustCo residential real estate loan product is very competitive compared to local and national competitors. As noted, the widespread disruptions in the mortgage market as a result of the financial crisis have not had a significant impact on TrustCo, partly because the Company has not originated the types of loans that have been responsible for many of the problems causing the disruptions as well as the fact that housing prices in the Company’s primary market of the Capital Region of New York have not experienced the declines realized in other areas of the country. The withdrawal from the market of some of the troubled lenders that did focus on subprime and similar loans slightly improved competitive conditions for the type of residential mortgage loans focused on by TrustCo; however, competition remains strong.

Index

The strategy on the funding side of the balance sheet continues to be to attract deposit customers to the Company based upon a combination of service, convenience and interest rate. The Company has periodically offered attractive long-term deposit rates as part of a strategy to lengthen deposit lives. However, the decline in deposit costs, which initially lagged the decline in the Federal Funds target rate, has continued since the Federal Funds target was stabilized in late 2008.

Earning Assets

Total average interest earning assets increased from $3.87 billion in the first quarter of 2011 to $4.17 billion in the same period of 2012 with an average yield of 4.14% in 2011 and 3.79% in 2012. Interest income on average earning assets declined slightly from $40.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $39.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, on a tax equivalent basis, as the increase in average earning assets offset part of the decline in average yield.

Loans

The average balance of loans was $2.52 billion in the first quarter of 2012 and $2.35 billion in the comparable period in 2011. The yield on loans decreased 24 basis points to 5.16%. The higher average balances more than offset the lower yield, leading to a nominal increase in the interest income on loans from $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Compared to the first quarter of 2011, the average balance of the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2012 increased in the residential mortgage and home equity categories, but declined in the commercial and installment loan categories. The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $1.96 billion in 2012 compared to $1.80 billion in 2011, an increase of 8.8%. The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 26 basis points to 5.33% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011.

TrustCo actively markets the residential loan products within its market territories. Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including rates on treasury securities, the federal funds rate and rates set by competitors and secondary market participants. As noted earlier, market interest rates have changed significantly in recent years as a result of national economic policy in the United States, as well as due to disruptions in the mortgage market. 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 for qualified borrowers and the fact that the Company typically holds these loans in portfolio and does not sell them into the secondary markets. 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.

Index

Commercial loans, which consist primarily of loans secured by commercial real estate, decreased $12.2 million to an average balance of $241.3 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year. The average yield on this portfolio decreased 23 basis points to 5.57% over the same period.

The average yield on home equity credit lines declined 6 basis points to 3.66% during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 with the change reflecting that introductory rates repriced to the index rate. The average balances of home equity lines increased 8.4% to $315.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year.

Securities Available-for-Sale

The average balance of the securities available-for-sale portfolio for the first quarter of 2012 was $938.3 million compared to $937.5 million for the comparable period in 2011. The stable balances reflect the reinvestment of funds from matured and called securities, as well as cash flows from amortizing securities. The average yield was 2.10% for the first quarter of 2012 and 2.63% for the first quarter of 2011. The decline in yield reflects that the reinvestment of funds from the sales, calls and maturities of securities into new securities was at lower market yields. This portfolio is primarily comprised of bonds issued by government sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Freddie Mac), municipal bonds, corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities. These securities are recorded at fair value with any adjustment included in other comprehensive income.

The net unrealized gain in the available-for-sale securities portfolio was $2.5 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to a net unrealized loss of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2011, with the change due primarily to a decrease in long term interest rates. In the case of corporate bonds, the Company exposure is primarily in bonds of firms in the financial sector and changing market perceptions of that sector and of some specific firms has had a negative impact on bond pricing. All of the corporate bonds owned continue to be rated investment grade and are performing in accordance with the contractual term of the bonds.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

The average balance of held-to-maturity securities was $200.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $179.7 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in balances reflects the reinvestment of funds from calls, maturities and amortization, as well as the utilization of some of the deposit inflow for the period. The Company expects to continue to designate some of its securities as held-to-maturity. The average yield was 3.64% for the 2012 period compared to 4.23% for the year earlier period. TrustCo expects to hold the securities in this portfolio until they mature or are called.

As of March 31, 2012, the securities in this portfolio include residential mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Index

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments

The 2012 first quarter average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments was $512.4 million, a $113.2 million increase from the $399.2 million average for the same period in 2011. The yield was flat at 0.25%. Interest income from this portfolio increased by $74 thousand from $246 thousand in 2011 to $320 thousand in 2012, reflecting the average balance increase.

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, money market and time deposit accounts.

Total average interest-bearing deposits (which includes interest-bearing checking, money market accounts, savings, and certificates of deposit) increased from $3.32 billion during the first quarter of 2011 to $3.50 billion in the first quarter of 2012, and the average rate paid decreased from 0.82% for 2011 to 0.63% for 2012. Total interest expense on these deposits decreased $1.1 million to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the year earlier period. The increase in deposits versus the prior year was due to strong growth in core deposits more than offsetting a decline in certificates of deposit. The low rate environment led more consumers to hold funds in money market, savings and demand accounts as opposed to committing to a longer term certificate. From the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012, interest bearing demand account average balances were up 11.8%, money market account average balances were up 2.4% and savings account average balances were up 24.9%, while non-interest demand average balances were up 6.6%. Average balances in certificates of deposits declined 6.0% over the same time frame, but still constitute 36.3% of total average deposits. The Company does not accept brokered deposits and does not pay premium rates on certificates with balances over $100,000.

At March 31, 2012, the maturity of total time
deposits is as follows:

(dollars in thousands)
Under 1 year	$	1,212,731
1 to 2 years		123,464
2 to 3 years		13,648
3 to 4 years		10,271
4 to 5 years		1,922
Over 5 years		357
	$	1,362,393

Average short-term borrowings for the quarter were $145.5 million in 2012 compared to $130.0 million in 2011. The average rate decreased during this time period from 1.27% in 2011 to 1.07% in 2012. The short-term borrowings of the Company were cash management accounts, which represent retail accounts with customers for which the Bank has pledged certain assets as collateral.

Index

Net Interest Income

Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $713 thousand to $33.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. The net interest spread was down 17 basis points to 3.14% in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the year ago period. As previously noted, the net interest margin was down 17 basis points to 3.23% for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans (NPLs), which are those loans in a nonaccrual status, loans that have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), 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 other real estate owned.

Impaired loans are considered to be those commercial and commercial real estate loans in a nonaccrual status and TDRs. The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of March 31, 2012:

Nonperforming loans: Total NPLs were $51.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $50.4 million at March 31, 2011 and $48.8 million at December 31, 2011. There were $50.8 million of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2012 compared to $50.1 million at March 31, 2011 and $48.5 million at December 31, 2011. There were no loans at March 31, 2012 and 2011, or December 31, 2011 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At March 31, 2012, nonperforming loans include a mix of commercial and residential loans. Of total nonperforming loans of $51.2 million, $39.6 million were residential real estate loans and $11.5 million were commercial mortgages and commercial loans, compared to $38.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively at December 31, 2011.

As previously noted, a significant percentage of non-performing loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans. The Bank’s loan loss experience on these loans has generally been strong with net charge-offs of 0.49% of average residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the first quarter of 2012 (annualized), equal to the first quarter of 2011. These levels are elevated compared to historical levels, reflecting current economic conditions. However, while the level of nonperforming loans has increased, the Company does not believe this represents a significant level of increased risk of loss in the current loan portfolios. Management believes that these loans have been appropriately written down where required.

Ongoing portfolio management is intended to result in early identification and disengagement from deteriorating credits. TrustCo has a diversified loan portfolio that includes a significant balance of residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the Capital Region of New York and avoids concentrations to any one borrower or any single industry. TrustCo has no advances to borrowers or projects located outside the United States. TrustCo continues to identify delinquent loans as quickly as possible and to move promptly to resolve problem loans. Efforts to resolve delinquencies begin immediately after the payment grace period expires, with repeated automatically generated notices as well as personalized phone calls and letters. Loans are placed in non-accrual status once they are 90 days past due or earlier if management has determined that such classification is appropriate. Once in non-accrual status, loans are either brought current and maintained current, at which point they may be returned to accrual status, or they proceed through the foreclosure process. The collateral on non-accrual loans is evaluated periodically and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.

Index

The Company originates loans throughout its deposit franchise area. At March 31, 2012, 90.4% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 9.6% were in Florida. Those figures compare to 90.8% and 9.2%, respectively at December 31, 2011. Within these two geographic regions, commercial loans constitute a larger component of the local outstandings in Florida than in New York, at 10.4% and 9.2%, respectively, as of March 31, 2012. Both the Florida and New York levels of commercial loans declined from December 31, 2011 with the Florida number coming down from 10.9% at that date and the New York number from 9.7%.

Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location. Florida experienced a more significant downturn than New York. Reflecting that, nonperforming loans are more heavily weighted towards Florida. As of March 31, 2012, 29.9% of nonperforming loans were to Florida borrowers, compared to 70.1% in New York and surrounding areas. The level of Florida based nonperforming loans declined from 32.1% as of December 31, 2011. Net charge-offs also reflect local conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, Florida net charge-offs were equal to 55.9% of total net charge-offs, compared to 44.1% for New York and surrounding areas. For the full year 2011, Florida net charge-offs were 66.6% of total net charge-offs, and New York and surrounding area net charge-offs were 33.4%. The higher level of net charge-offs relative to loan outstandings reflects both the higher level of nonaccrual loans in Florida as well as a greater severity of loss as housing prices have fallen more significantly and broadly in the Florida markets than in the Company’s primary market area.

Other than loans currently identified as nonperforming, management is aware of no other loans in the Bank’s portfolio that pose material risk of the eventual non-collection of principal and interest. Also as of March 31, 2012, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.

TrustCo has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring, as impaired loans. There were $11.5 million of nonaccrual commercial mortgages and loans classified as impaired as of March 31, 2012, compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2011. There were $3.9 million of impaired retail loans at March 31, 2012, compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2011. As previously noted, the increase in impaired retail loans is the result of the adoption of new accounting guidance for determining when a loan modification is a TDR. The average balances of all impaired loans were $14.9 million during the first quarter of 2012 and $14.0 million for the full year 2011. The Company recognized approximately $8 thousand of interest income on nonaccrual and restructured loans in the first quarter of 2012 compared to approximately $35 thousand for all of 2011.

Index

At March 31, 2012 there was $3.7 million of foreclosed real estate as compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2011.

During the first quarter of 2012, there were $492 thousand of gross commercial loan charge offs and $2.9 million of gross residential mortgage and consumer loan charge-offs as compared with $50 thousand of gross commercial loan charge-offs and $2.9 million of residential mortgage and consumer loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2011. Gross recoveries during the first quarter of 2012 were $11 thousand for commercial loans and $139 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans, compared to $3 thousand for commercial loans and $121 thousand for residential and consumer in the first quarter of 2011.

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 probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

The allocation of the allowance for loans losses is as follows:
	As of					As of
	March 31, 2012					December 31, 2011
			Percent of					Percent of
			Loans to					Loans to
	Amount		Total Loans			Amount		Total Loans
Commercial	$	3,602		8.5	%	$	3,737		9.0	%
Real estate - construction		682		1.4	%		632		1.3	%
Real estate mortgage - 1 to 4 family		36,891		77.5	%		36,747		77.1	%
Home equity lines of credit		7,278		12.5	%		7,503		12.4	%

	$	48,535		100.0	%	$	48,717		100.0	%

At March 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $48.5 million, compared to the December 31, 2011 balance of $48.7 million. The allowance represents 1.92% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2012 compared to 1.93% at December 31, 2011.

The provision for loan losses was $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. Net charge-offs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 were $3.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in the year earlier period. 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 recent loan charge offs and recoveries, and

The growth in the loan portfolio given existing economic conditions.

Management continues to monitor these factors in determining future provisions or credits for loan losses in relation to the economic environment, loan charge-offs, recoveries and the level and trends of nonperforming loans.

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 easily secure new sources of liquidity. 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.

The Company uses an internal model as the primary tool to identify, quantify and project changes in interest rates and the impact on the balance sheet. The model utilizes assumptions with respect to cash flows and prepayment speeds taken both from industry sources and internally generated data based upon historical trends in the Bank’s balance sheet. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in market interest rates are also incorporated into the model. This model calculates a fair value amount with respect to non-time deposit categories since these deposits are part of the core deposit products of the Company. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure the fair value of capital or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of capital.

Using this internal model, the fair value of capital projections as of March 31, 2012 are referenced below. The base case scenario shows the present estimate of the fair value of capital assuming no change in the operating environment or operating strategies and no change in interest rates from those existing in the marketplace as of March 31, 2012. The table indicates the impact on the fair value of capital assuming interest rates were to instantaneously increase by 100 bp, 200 bp, 300 bp and 400 bp or to decrease by 100 bp.

	Estimated Percentage of
	Fair value of Capital to
As of March 31, 2012	Fair value of Assets
+400 BP		12.58 %
+300 BP		13.15
+200 BP		13.69
+100 BP		14.30
Current rates		14.28

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2012 was $4.5 million, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period. Excluding net securities transactions, non-interest income decreased $143 thousand in the first quarter of 2012 to $3.8 million, compared to the first quarter of 2011. Net gains on securities transactions were $677 thousand in the first quarter of 2012, compared to net gains of $287 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.

Trustco Financial Services income declined $180 thousand to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to a reduction in nonrecurring fee income from estate settlements and tax return preparation services. Assets under management were $823 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $784 million at December 31, 2011 and $811 million at March 31, 2011. The increase in assets compared to the prior periods was due to market conditions and net account additions.

Index

The total of fees for other services to customers plus other income was $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2012, flat with the same period in 2011 as growth in the number of customers and accounts, as well as some new or increased fees offset the impact of new regulations that have had a negative impact on certain service fees.

Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expenses were $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease of $202 thousand was primarily due to decreases in two categories. FDIC and other insurance was down $971 thousand and other real estate expense decreased $624 thousand. The decline in FDIC costs reflect a lower assessment rate while the decline in other real estate expense reflects lower levels of foreclosed properties. Most other expense categories were relatively stable, with an increase of $717 thousand in salaries and benefits being the one significant increase. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to higher benefit costs. Full time equivalent headcount was 734 as of March 31, 2012 down from 740 as of March 31, 2011.

Net occupancy expense increased $58 thousand to $3.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Equipment expense was up $188 thousand to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 versus the prior year. Professional services were down $49 thousand to $1.4 million for the quarter. Outsourced services were down $100 thousand to $1.3 million. Advertising expenses increased by $103 thousand to $809 thousand in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year.

Income Taxes

In the first quarter of 2012, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $5.2 million as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2011. The effective tax rates were 37.1% and 35.1% for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The tax expense on the Company’s income was different than tax expense at the statutory rate of 35%, due to tax exempt income and the effect of state income taxes.

Capital Resources

Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios.

Banking regulators are beginning to move towards higher required capital requirements due to the standards included in the Basel III reform measures as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.

On July 6, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of 15,640,000 shares of common stock, $1 par value per share. The 15,640,000 shares included 2,040,000 additional shares of common stock as a result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option. The common stock was sold at $4.60 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were $67.6 million.

Index

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 was $344.6 million, compared to $258.5 million at March 31, 2011. TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.065625 per share in the first quarter of 2012. This results in a dividend payout ratio of 68.9% based on first quarter 2012 earnings per share of $0.095.

The Company and the Bank achieved the following capital ratios as of March 31, 2012 and 2011:

In addition, at March 31, 2012, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 7.87%, compared to 6.44% at March 31, 2011. TrustCo is not currently subject to regulatory minimums.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Pursuant to SEC guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies 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 the inherent risk of 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 2011 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.

STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE

I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY;

INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL

The following table summarizes the component distribution of the 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 and held-to-maturity are calculated using amortized costs for these securities. Included in the average balance of shareholders' equity is unrealized appreciation (depreciation), net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of $1.3 million in 2012 and ($5.2 million) in 2011. The subtotals contained in the following table are the arithmetic totals of the items contained in that category. Increases and decreases in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume have been allocated to the categories of variances (volume and rate) based on the percentage relationship of such variances to each other.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2011 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 month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company continues to respond to changes in interest rates in a fashion to position the Company to meet short term earning goals and to also allow the Company to respond to changes in interest rates in the future. Consequently, for the first quarter of 2012, the Company had an average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments of $512.4 million compared to $399.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to invest funds from the federal funds sold and other short-term investment portfolio into the securities available-for-sale, securities held-to-maturity and loan portfolios. Additional disclosure of interest rate risk can be found under “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” and “Asset/Liability Management” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this document.

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 system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

Index

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.
