GAAP is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Under Regulation G, companies making disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the company's reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. At the same time that the SEC issued Regulation G, it also made amendments to Item 10 of Regulation S-K, requiring companies to make the same types of supplemental disclosures whenever they include non-GAAP financial measures in their filings with the SEC. The SEC has exempted from the definition of "non-GAAP financial measures" certain specific types of commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures or SEC filings, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report which have not been specifically exempted by the SEC may nevertheless constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's new rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them. Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin: Net interest income, as a component of the tabular presentation by financial institutions of Selected Financial Information regarding their recently completed operations, is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income will be exempt from taxation (e.g., was received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added back to the net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income (pre-tax) to that of another institution, as each will have a different proportion of tax-exempt items in their portfolios. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, tax-equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution. We follow these practices. The Efficiency Ratio: Financial institutions often use an "efficiency ratio" as a measure of expense control. The efficiency ratio typically is defined as noninterest expense divided by taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income. As in the case of net interest income, generally, net interest income as utilized in calculating the efficiency ratio is typically expressed on a tax-equivalent basis. Moreover, most financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, also adjust both noninterest expense and noninterest income to 3 exclude from these items (as calculated under GAAP) certain component elements, such as non-recurring charges, and other real estate expense (deducted from noninterest expense) and securities transactions and other non-recurring income items (excluded from noninterest income). We follow these practices. 4 PART I Item 1. Business General TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo" or the "Company") is a savings and loan holding company having its principal place of business at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville, New York 12302. TrustCo was incorporated under the laws of New York in 1981 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Trustco Bank, National Association, formerly known as Trustco Bank New York, and prior to that, The Schenectady Trust Company. On July 28, 2000 TrustCo acquired Landmark Financial Corp. and its subsidiary Landmark Community Bank, Canajoharie, New York, a federal savings bank with assets of approximately $26 million. Landmark Community Bank was subsequently renamed Trustco Savings Bank, and, on November 15, 2002, Trustco Savings Bank and Trustco Bank, National Association merged under the charter of Trustco Savings Bank. In that merger, the resulting bank changed its name to Trustco Bank (sometimes referred to in this report as the "Bank"). Through policy and practice, TrustCo continues to emphasize that it is an equal opportunity employer. There were 554 full-time equivalent employees of TrustCo at year-end 2006. TrustCo had 14,693 shareholders of record as of December 29, 2006 (the last business day in 2006) and the closing price of the TrustCo common stock on that date was $11.12. Subsidiaries Trustco Bank Trustco Bank is a federal savings bank engaged in providing general banking services to individuals, partnerships, and corporations. The Bank operates 89 automatic teller machines and 90 banking offices in Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Ulster, Warren, Washington and Westchester counties of New York, Hillsborough, Lake, Orange, Sarasota and Seminole counties in Florida, Bennington County in Vermont, Berkshire County in Massachusetts and Bergen County in New Jersey. The largest part of such business consists of accepting deposits and making loans and investments. The Bank provides a wide range of both personal and business banking services. The Bank is supervised and regulated by the Federal Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to the extent permitted by law. The Bank established an operating subsidiary, Trustco Vermont Investment Company, in September 2003 for the purposes of holding all of the shares of the capital stock of the Bank's existing subsidiary, Trustco Realty Corp., that were held by the Bank and of acquiring and managing other investments. Trustco Realty Corp. holds certain mortgage assets which are serviced by the Bank. The Bank accounted for substantially all of TrustCo's 2006 consolidated net income and average assets. 5 The trust department of the Bank serves as executor of estates and trustee of personal trusts, provides asset and wealth management services, provides estate planning and related advice, provides custodial services, and acts as trustee for various types of employee benefit plans and corporate pension and profit sharing trusts. The aggregate market value of the assets under trust, custody, or management of the trust department of the Bank was approximately $901 million as of December 31, 2006. The daily operations of the Bank remain the responsibility of its officers, subject to the oversight of its Board of Directors and overall supervision by TrustCo. The accounts of the Bank are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements. ORE Subsidiary In 1993, TrustCo created ORE Subsidiary Corp., a New York corporation, to hold and manage certain foreclosed properties acquired by the Bank. The accounts of this subsidiary are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements. TrustCo Charitable Foundation, Inc. In 2005, TrustCo founded TrustCo Charitable Foundation, Inc., a New York corporation, for the purpose of making charitable contributions to the communities it serves. The accounts of this Company are not included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements. Competition TrustCo faces strong competition in its market areas, both in attracting deposits and making loans. The Company's most direct competition for deposits, historically, has come from commercial banks, savings associations, and credit unions that are located or have branches in the Bank's market areas. The competition ranges from other locally based commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions to branch offices of the largest financial institutions in the United States. In the Capital District area of New York State, TrustCo's principal competitors are local operations of super regional banks, branch offices of money center banks, and locally based commercial and savings banks. The Bank is the largest depository institution headquartered in the Capital District area of New York State. The Company also faces competition for deposits from national brokerage houses, short-term money market funds, and other corporate and government securities funds. Factors affecting the acquisition of deposits include pricing, office locations and hours of operation, the variety of deposit accounts offered, and the quality of customer service provided. Competition for loans has been especially keen during the last several years. Commercial banks, thrift institutions, traditional mortgage brokers affiliated with local offices, and nationally franchised real estate brokers are all active and aggressive competitors. The Company competes in this environment by providing a full range of financial services based on a tradition of financial strength and integrity dating from its 6 inception. The Company competes for loans, principally through the interest rates and loan fees it charges, and the efficiency and quality of services it provides to borrowers. Supervision and Regulation Banking is a highly regulated industry, with numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the organization and operation of banks and their affiliates. As a savings and loan holding company registered under the Home Owners' Loan Act (the "HOLA"), TrustCo is regulated and examined by the OTS. The HOLA requires TrustCo to obtain prior OTS approval for acquisitions and restricts the business operations permitted to TrustCo. Because the FDIC provides deposit insurance to the Bank, the Bank is also subject to its supervision and regulation even though the FDIC is not the Bank's primary federal regulator. Most of TrustCo's revenues consist of cash dividends paid to TrustCo by the Bank, payment of which is subject to various regulatory limitations. (Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2006, which appears in the footnotes theirin, contains information concerning restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay dividends and is hereby incorporated by reference.) Compliance with the standards set forth in the OTS rules regarding capital distribution by savings associations and savings banks could also limit the amount of dividends that TrustCo may pay to its shareholders. The banking industry is also affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, which exerts considerable influence over the cost and availability of funds obtained for lending and investing. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2006, which appears in the footnotes theirin and contains information concerning regulatory capital requirements. The following summary of laws and regulations applicable to the Company and the Bank is not intended to be a complete description of those laws and regulations or their effects on the Company and the Bank, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions described. Holding Company Activities The activities of savings and loan holding companies are governed by the HOLA. Since TrustCo became a savings and loan holding company in 2002, its activities are limited to those permissible for "multiple" savings and loan holding companies (that is, savings and loan holding companies owning more than one savings association subsidiary) as of March 5, 1987, activities permitted for bank holding companies as of November 12, 1999 and activities permissible for "financial holding companies" (which are described below). "Savings associations" include federal savings banks such as the Bank. TrustCo must obtain approval from the appropriate bank regulatory agencies before acquiring control of any insured depository institution. 7 A savings and loan holding company is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another financial institution or savings and loan holding company, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision and from acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision considers the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the Company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the deposit insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors. The Office of Thrift Supervision may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies and (ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions. Although savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to specific capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings institutions as described below. The Bank must notify the Office of Thrift Supervision 30 days before declaring any dividend to the Company. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution. Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance The Company's common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Company is subject to restrictions, reporting requirements and review procedures under federal securities laws and regulations. The Company is also subject to the rules and reporting requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, on which its Common Stock is traded. Like other issuers of publicly traded securities, the Company must also comply with The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), which implemented legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud and contains reforms of various business practices and numerous aspects of corporate governance. For example, Sarbanes-Oxley addresses accounting oversight and corporate governance matters, including the creation of a five-member oversight board appointed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to set and enforce auditing, quality control and independence standards for accountants and have investigative and disciplinary powers; increased responsibilities and codified requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with a company's public 8 accounting firm; the prohibition of accounting firms from providing various types of consulting services to public clients and requiring accounting firms to rotate partners among public client assignments every five years; expanded disclosure of corporate operations and internal controls and certification by chief executive officers and chief financial officers to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the SEC; and prohibitions on public company insiders from trading during retirement plan "blackout" periods, restrictions on loans to company executives and enhanced controls on and reporting of insider trading. Although the Company has and will continue to incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley and the resulting regulations, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Federal Savings Institution Regulation Business Activities. Federal law and regulations govern the activities of federal savings banks such as the Bank. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the activities in which federal savings banks may engage. In particular, certain lending authority for federal savings banks, e.g., commercial, non-residential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institution's capital or assets. Regulatory Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require thrifts to satisfy three capital ratio requirements: tangible capital, Tier 1 core (leverage) capital, and risk-based capital. In general, an association's tangible capital, which must be at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, is the sum of common shareholders' equity adjusted for the effects of other comprehensive income ("OCI"), net of the adjustment to record the previously unrecognized overfunded position of employee benefit plans, less goodwill and other disallowed assets. An association's ratio of Tier 1 core capital to adjusted total assets (the "core capital" or "leverage" ratio) must be at least 3% for the most highly rated associations and 4% for others. Higher capital ratios may be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of a given association. Under the risk-based capital requirement, a savings association must have total capital (core capital plus supplementary capital) equal to at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital must represent at least 50% of total capital and consists of core capital elements, which include common shareholders' equity, qualifying noncumulative nonredeemable perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, but exclude goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Supplementary capital mainly consists of qualifying subordinated debt and portions of allowance for loan losses. The above capital requirements are viewed as minimum standards by the OTS. The OTS regulations also specify minimum requirements for a savings association to be considered a "well-capitalized institution" as defined in the "prompt corrective action" regulation described below. A "well-capitalized" savings association must have a total 9 risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater. Additionally, to qualify as a "well-capitalized institution," a savings association's Tier 1 risk-based capital, defined as core capital plus supplementary capital less portions of the association's allowance for loan losses, must be equal to at least 6% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank currently meets all of the requirements of a "well-capitalized institution." The OTS regulations contain prompt corrective action provisions that require certain mandatory remedial actions and authorize certain other discretionary actions to be taken by the OTS against a savings association that falls within specified categories of capital deficiency. The relevant regulations establish five categories of capital classification for this purpose, ranging from "well-capitalized" or "adequately capitalized" through "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." In general, the prompt corrective action regulations prohibit an OTS-regulated institution from declaring any dividends, making any other capital distributions, or paying a management fee to a controlling person, such as its parent holding company, if, following the distribution or payment, the institution would be within any of the three undercapitalized categories. Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Deposits of Trustco Bank are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC determines insurance premiums based on a number of factors, primarily the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the DIF. Recent legislation eliminated the minimum 1.25% reserve ratio for the insurance funds, the mandatory assessments when the ratio falls below 1.25% and the prohibition on assessing the highest quality banks when the ratio is above 1.25%. The FDIC has the ability to adjust the new insurance fund's reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.5%, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment rates at the end of a calendar year. The FDIC has adopted regulations that set assessment rates that took effect at the beginning of 2007. The new assessment rates for most banks vary between five cents and seven cents for every $100 of deposits. A change in insurance premiums could have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Trustco Bank. The Bank cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future. Assessment credits have been provided to institutions that paid high premiums in the past, and Trustco Bank will have credits of approximately $1.3 million to offset premiums in the future. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS. The Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of its deposit insurance. In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make 10 payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. Limitation on Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by Trustco Bank, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for "expedited treatment" of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e., generally, examination ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to Office of Thrift Supervision of the capital distribution if, like the Bank, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. In the event the Bank's capital fell below its regulatory requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision notified it that it was in need of more than normal supervision, the Bank's ability to make capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Assessments. The Bank is required to pay assessments to the Office of Thrift Supervision to fund the agency's operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, is computed upon the Bank's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the Bank's latest quarterly thrift financial report. The assessments paid by the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $500 thousand. Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires each savings institution, as well as commercial banks and certain other lenders, to identify the communities served by the institution's offices and to identify the types of credit the institution is prepared to extend within those communities. The CRA also requires the OTS to assess an institution's performance in meeting the credit needs of its identified communities as part of its examination of the institution, and to take such assessments into consideration in reviewing applications with respect to branches, mergers and other business combinations, including acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies. An unsatisfactory CRA rating may be the basis for denying such an application and community groups have successfully protested applications on CRA grounds. In connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the OTS assigns CRA ratings of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve" or "substantial noncompliance." The Bank was rated "satisfactory" in its last CRA examination. Institutions are evaluated based on (i) its record of helping to meet the credit needs of its assessment area through lending activities; (ii) its qualified investments; and (iii) the 11 availability and effectiveness of the institution's system for delivering retail banking services. An institution that is found to be deficient in its performance in meeting its community's credit needs may be subject to enforcement actions, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalties. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Like all OTS-regulated institutions, the Bank is required to meet a Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test or the Internal Revenue Code's Domestic Building and Loan Association ("DBLA") test to avoid certain restrictions on its operations, including restrictions on its ability to branch interstate and the Company's mandatory registration as a savings and loan holding company under the Act. A savings association satisfies the QTL test if: (i) on a monthly average basis in at least nine months out of each twelve month period, at least 65% of a specified asset base of the savings association consists of loans to small businesses, credit card loans, educational loans, or certain assets related to domestic residential real estate, including residential mortgage loans and mortgage securities; or (ii) at least 60% of the savings association's total assets consist of cash, U.S. government or government agency debt or equity securities, fixed assets, or loans secured by deposits, real property used for residential, educational, church, welfare, or health purposes, or real property in certain urban renewal areas. To be a QTL under the DBLA test, a savings association must meet a "business operations test" and a "60 percent of assets test." The business operations test requires the business of a DBLA to consist primarily of acquiring the savings of the public and investing in loans. An institution meets the public savings requirement when it meets one of two conditions: (i) The institution acquires its savings accounts in conformity with OTS rules and regulations and (ii) The general public holds more than 75 percent of its deposits, withdrawable shares, and other obligations. An institution meets the investing in loans requirement when more than 75 percent of its gross income consists of interest on loans and government obligations, and various other specified types of operating income that financial institutions ordinarily earn. The 60 percent of assets test requires that at least 60 percent of a DBLA's assets must consist of assets that thrifts normally hold, except for consumer loans that are not educational loans. The Bank is currently, and expects to remain, in compliance with these standards. Federal Reserve System Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves against their transaction accounts. The reserve for transaction accounts as of December 31, 2006 was as follows: Amount of transaction accounts Reserve Requirement $0 to $8.5 million 0 percent of amount. Over $8.5 million and 3 percent of amount. up to $45.8 million $1,119,000 plus 10 percent of Over $45.8 million amount over $45.8 million. 12 The Bank is in compliance with these requirements as of December 31, 2006. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Privacy Requirements The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "GLB Act") generally provided for sweeping financial modernization for commercial banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the United States. Among other matters, the GLB Act established a federal right to the confidential treatment of nonpublic personal information about consumers. These provisions of the GLB Act require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, will allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. Compliance with the rules was mandatory starting on July 1, 2001. These rules affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. Because the Company does not sell customer information or give customer information to outside third parties or its affiliates except under very limited circumstances (e.g., providing customer information to the Company's data processing provider), the rules have not had a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Other Legislation The USA PATRIOT Act ("Patriot Act"), which was enacted in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, adopted numerous provisions designed to fight international money laundering and to block terrorist access to the U.S. financial system. Under Title III of the Patriot Act, also known as the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act of 2001, all financial institutions, including the Company and the Bank, are required to take certain measures to identify their customers, prevent money laundering, monitor certain customer transactions and report suspicious activity to U.S. law enforcement agencies, and scrutinize or prohibit altogether certain transactions of special concern. Financial institutions also are required to respond to requests for information from federal banking regulatory agencies and law enforcement agencies concerning their customers and their transactions. Information-sharing among financial institutions concerning terrorist or money laundering activities is encouraged by an exemption provided from the privacy provisions of the GLB Act and other laws. Further, the effectiveness of a financial institution in combating money laundering activities is a factor to be considered in applications submitted by a financial institution under the Bank Merger Act. The Company has in place a Bank Secrecy Act compliance program, and it engages in very few transactions of any kind with foreign financial institutions or foreign persons. The Company operates a wholly owned real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiary, which was formed to acquire, hold and manage real estate mortgage assets, including, but not limited to residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The income earned on these assets, net of expenses, is distributed in the form of dividends. Under current New York State tax law, 60% of the dividends received from the REIT are excluded from total taxable income. 13 The proposed 2007 New York State budget bill contains a provision that would potentially increase the amount of state tax paid by the Company. The bill, if enacted as proposed, would be effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2007. Foreign Operations Neither TrustCo nor the Bank engage in any operations in foreign countries or have outstanding loans to foreign debtors. Statistical Information Analysis The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are included in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2006, which contains a presentation and discussion of statistical data relating to TrustCo, is hereby incorporated by reference. This information should not be construed to imply any conclusion on the part of the management of TrustCo that the results, causes, or trends indicated therein will continue in the future. The nature and effects of governmental monetary policy, supervision and regulation, future legislation, inflation and other economic conditions and many other factors which affect interest rates, investments, loans, deposits, and other aspects of TrustCo's operations are extremely complex and could make historical operations, earnings, assets, and liabilities not indicative of what may occur in the future. 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, or those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, 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 subjectivity and uncertainty in estimating 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 TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders is a description of this critical policy and the other significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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: (i) credit risk; (ii) interest rate risk; (iii) competition; (iv) changes in the regulatory environment; and (v) changes in local market area and 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. Item 1A. Risk Factors These are general risk factors affecting the Company. They are further described under Item 1. "Business" and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such cases, you may lose all or part of your investment. Certain interest rate movements may hurt earnings and asset value. Interest rates have recently been at historically low levels. However, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased its target for the federal funds rate from 1.00% to 5.25%. While these short-term market interest rates (which are used as a guide to price the Bank's deposits) have increased, longer-term market interest rates (which are used as a guide to price the Bank's longer-term loans) have not. This "flattening" of the market yield curve has had a negative impact on the Bank's interest rate spread and net interest margin to date, and if short-term interest rates continue to rise, and if rates on the Bank's deposits and borrowings continue to reprice upwards faster than rates on the Bank's long-term loans and investments, the Bank would experience further compression of its interest rate spread and net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on the Bank's profitability. 15 Changes in interest rates also affect the value of the Bank's interest-earning assets, and in particular the Bank's securities portfolio. Generally, the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates could have an adverse effect on shareholders' equity. Strong competition within the Bank's market areas could hurt profits and slow growth. The Bank faces intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. This competition has made it more difficult for the Bank to make new loans and at times has forced the Bank to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in the Bank earning less on loans and paying more on deposits, which would reduce net interest income. Competition also makes it more difficult to grow loans and deposits and to hire and retain experienced employees. Some of the institutions with which the Bank competes have substantially greater resources and lending limits than the Bank has and may offer services that the Bank does not provide. Management expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. The Bank's profitability depends upon its continued ability to compete successfully in its market area. The Company operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws, regulations and tax policies. As described earlier, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision, its primary federal regulator, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of our deposits. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which an institution and its holding company may engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and the depositors and borrowers of the Bank rather than for holders of the Company's common stock. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on operations, the classification of the Bank's assets and determination of the level of allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on operations. Likewise, the Company operates in an environment that imposes income taxes on its operations at both the federal and state levels to varying degrees. Strategies and operating routines have been implemented to minimize the impact of these taxes. 16 Consequently, any change in tax legislation could significantly alter the effectiveness of these strategies. Negative events in certain geographic areas could adversely affect us. Negative conditions in the real estate markets where collateral for our mortgage loans is located could adversely affect our borrower's ability to repay and the value of the collateral. Real estate values are affected by various factors, including changes in general or regional economic conditions, governmental rules or policies and natural disasters such as hurricanes. We are dependent upon the services of our management team. We are dependent upon the ability and experience of a number of our key management personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the financial services industry and the markets in which we offer our services. It is possible that the loss of the services of one or more of our senior executives or key managers would have an adverse effect on our operations. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, manage and retain other qualified middle management personnel as we grow. We cannot assure you that we will continue to attract or retain such personnel. Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and New York law may discourage or prevent takeover attempts, and these provisions may have the effect of reducing the market price of our stock. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include several provisions that may have the effect of discouraging or preventing hostile takeover attempts, and therefore, making the removal of incumbent management difficult. The provisions include staggered terms for our board of directors and requirements of supermajority votes to approve certain business transactions. In addition, New York law contains several provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of the board of directors, and may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding stock. To the extent that these provisions are effective in discouraging or preventing takeover attempts, they may tend to reduce the market price for our stock. Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings. The accounting standard setting bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory bodies, periodically change financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised accounting standard retroactively, which could effect beginning of period financial statement amounts. 17 The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates that may vary from actual results. Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. One of our most critical estimates is the level of the allowance for loan losses. Due to the inherent nature of this estimate, we cannot provide absolute assurance that we will not significantly increase the allowance for loan losses higher than the current balance. We rely on communications, information, operating and financial control systems, and technology from third-party service providers, and we may suffer an interruption in those systems that may result in lost business. Further, we may not be able to substitute providers on terms that are as favorable if our relationships with our existing service providers are interrupted. We rely heavily on third-party service providers for much of our communications, information, operating and financial controls systems, and technology. Any failure or interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or interruptions in our customer relationships management, general ledger, deposit, servicing and/or loan origination systems. We cannot assure you that such failures or interruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed by us or the third parties on which we rely. The occurrence of any failure or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If any of our third-party service providers experience financial, operational or technological difficulties, or if there is any other disruption in our relationships with them, we may be required to locate alternative sources of such services, and we cannot assure you that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us, or could obtain services with similar functionality as found in our existing systems, without the need to expend substantial resources, if at all. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If the business continuity and disaster recovery plans that we have in place are not adequate to continue our operations in the event of a disaster, the business disruption can adversely impact our operations. External events, including terrorist or military actions, or an outbreak of disease, such as Asian Influenza, or "bird flu" and resulting political and social turmoil could cause unforeseen damage to our physical facilities or could cause delays or disruptions to operational functions, including information processing and financial market settlement functions. Additionally, our customers, vendors and counterparties could suffer from such events. Should these events affect us, or our customers, or vendors or counterparties with which we conduct business, our results of operations could be adversely affected. 18 Decline in home values in the Company's markets could adversely impact results from operations. Like all financial services providers, the Company is subject to the effects of any economic downturn, and in particular, a significant decline in home values in the Company's markets could have a negative effect on the results of operations. A significant decline in home values would likely lead to a decrease in new home equity loan originations and increased delinquencies and defaults in both the consumer home equity loan and the residential real estate loan portfolios and result in increased losses in these portfolios. Item 1B Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2. Properties TrustCo's executive offices are located at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville, New York, 12302. The Company operates 90 offices, of which 23 are owned and 67 are leased from others. The asset value of these properties, when considered in the aggregate, is not material to the operation of TrustCo. In the opinion of management, the physical properties of TrustCo and the Bank are suitable and adequate and are being fully utilized. Item 3. Legal Proceedings The nature of TrustCo's business generates a certain amount of litigation against TrustCo and its subsidiaries involving matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of TrustCo, there are no proceedings pending to which TrustCo or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which its property is the subject which, if determined adversely to TrustCo or such subsidiaries, would be material in relation to TrustCo's consolidated shareholders' equity and financial condition. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None. 19 Executive Officers of TrustCo The following is a list of the names and ages of the executive officers of TrustCo and their business history for the past five years:

Item 9B. Other Information None. PART III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of Registrant The information in TrustCo's Proxy Statement filed for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held May 14, 2007 under the following captions is incorporated herein by reference: "Information on TrustCo Directors and Nominees" and "Information on TrustCo Executive Officers", and "Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance". TrustCo has adopted a code of conduct that applies to all employees, including its principal executive, financial and accounting officers. A copy of this code of conduct will be provided without charge upon written request. Requests and inquiries should be directed to: Sharon J. Parvis, Vice President, TrustCo Bank Corp NY, P.O. 23 Box 1082, Schenectady, New York 12301-1082. The required information regarding TrustCo's executive officers is contained in PART I in the item captioned "Executive Officers of TrustCo." Under rules adopted by the SEC, TrustCo is required to disclose whether it has an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its Audit Committee. The Board has determined that none of the members of the Audit Committee meet the definition of "audit committee financial expert" as defined in those rules. The Board believes that in order to fulfill all the functions of the Board and the Audit Committee, each member of the Board and the Audit Committee should meet all the criteria that have been established by the Board for Board membership and that it is not in the best interests of the Company to nominate as a director someone who does not have all the experience, attributes and qualifications that TrustCo seeks. Further, the Board believes that the present members of the Audit Committee have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial affairs to effectively perform their duties. TrustCo's Audit Committee consists of five non-employee directors, each of whom has been selected for the Audit Committee by the Board based on a determination that they are fully qualified to monitor the performance of management, the public disclosures by the Company of its financial condition and performance, the Company's internal accounting operations and our independent auditors. Members of the committee include William D. Powers (Chairman), Joseph Lucarelli, Thomas O. Maggs, Anthony J. Marinello, M.D.,Ph.D., and William J. Purdy. The Audit Committee has the ability on its own to retain independent accountants or other consultants whenever it deems appropriate, and has, in fact, retained Marvin & Co., an independent accounting firm, as a consultant to the committee. Further, the Audit Committee receives directly or has access to extensive information from reviews and examinations by the Company's internal auditor, independent auditor and the various banking regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company and its subsidiaries.
