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. (now known
as Trustco 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 488 full-time equivalent employees of TrustCo
at year-end 2002. TrustCo had 13,621 shareholders of record as of December 31,
2002 and the closing price of the TrustCo common stock at that date was $10.78.

Subsidiaries
Trustco Bank
Trustco Bank is a federal savings bank engaged in providing general banking
services to individuals, partnerships, and corporations. The Bank operates 56
automatic teller machines and 62 banking offices in Albany, Columbia, Dutchess,
Greene, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren,
Washington and Westchester counties of New York State and Bennington County in
Vermont. 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. An operating subsidiary of
the Bank, Trustco Realty Corp., holds certain mortgage assets which are serviced
by the Bank. The Bank accounted for substantially all of TrustCo's 2002
consolidated net income and average assets.

The trust department of the Bank serves as executor of estates and trustee of
personal trusts, 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 $897 million as of December 31, 2002.

3
The daily  operations  of the Bank  remain  the  responsibility  of its Board of
Directors and officers, subject to the overall supervision by TrustCo. TrustCo
derives most of its income from dividends paid to it by the Bank. The accounts
of the Bank are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.

Trustco Financial Corp.
Trustco Financial Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is the
immediate parent company of Trustco Bank. The accounts of Trustco Financial
Corp. are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.

ORE Subsidiary
During 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.

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 those areas. 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
five years. Commercial banks, local 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 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.

TrustCo operates in a number of communities where the competition ranges from
other locally based commercial and savings banks to branches 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.

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 registered savings and loan holding company under the Home
Owners' Loan Act (the "Act"), TrustCo is regulated and examined by the OTS. The
Act 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 its 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, 2002, which appears on pages 32 and
33 thereof and contains information concerning restrictions on TrustCo's ability
to pay dividends, 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
Reserve Board, which exerts considerable influence over the cost and
availability of funds obtained for lending and investing.

4
See Note 15 to the  consolidated  financial  statements  contained  in TrustCo's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2002, which
appears on page 42 thereof 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 Act.
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.

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"), 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.

5
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 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. Trustco
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.

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) performance in lending in their assessment areas; (ii) the
provision of deposit and other community services in their assessment areas; and
(iii) the investment in housing-related and other qualified community
investments. 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.

6
Qualified Thrift Lender Test
Like all OTS-regulated institutions, the Bank is required to meet a qualified
thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on its operations,
including restrictions on its ability to branch interstate and the Company's
mandatory registration as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956. 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. The Bank is currently and expects to
remain in compliance with QTL 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, 2002 was 0% of the first $5.5
million of such accounts, 3% of the next $35.6 million of such accounts and 10%
(subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) of the
balance of such accounts. The Bank is in compliance with these requirements as
of December 31, 2002.

Recent Legislation
On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the"GLB Act") was
signed into law. The GLB Act made significant changes to the operations of
financial services companies. It repealed key provisions of the "Glass-Steagall
Act" by repealing prohibitions on affiliations among banks, securities firms and
insurance companies. It authorizes a broad range of financial services to be
conducted by these types of companies within a new structure known as a
"financial holding company." A financial holding company may engage in a number
of activities deemed to be new activities, such as securities underwriting and
dealing activities, insurance underwriting and sales activities, merchant
banking and equity investment activities, and "incidental" and "complementary"
non-financial activities. While the GLB Act specifies so-called "functional
regulation," various federal and state regulators have continued authority over
certain activities of financial holding companies and other regulated financial
institutions.

The GLB Act establishes 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
or to third party providers of financial services under narrow joint marketing
arrangements), the rules have not had a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

7
On  October  26,  2001,  President  Bush  signed  into law the USA  PATRIOT  Act
("Patriot Act"). The Patriot Act includes numerous provisions designed to fight
international money laundering and to block terrorist access to the U.S.
financial system. Implementation of regulations to implement the Act have been
postponed by the Department of the Treasury, which has required additional time
to study certain industries for implementation of anti-money laundering
regulations. However, it is not anticipated that adoption of the regulations as
presently proposed will have a significant adverse impact on the Bank's
operations.

On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley") was signed
into law. Sarbanes-Oxley 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, this new
legislation addresses accounting oversight and corporate governance matters,
including: the creation of a five-member oversight board appointed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission that will 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 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 anticipates that it will 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.

Foreign Operations
Neither TrustCo nor the Bank engage in any material operations in foreign
countries or have any outstanding loans to foreign debtors.

Statistical Information Analysis
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" on pages 6 through 25 of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for
the year ended December 31, 2002, 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.

8
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.

Availability of Reports
This annual report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports will be
available free of charge from our Internet site, www.trustcobank.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 2002 and in future filings by TrustCo with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in TrustCo's press releases, and in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are
not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected
and in the future could affect TrustCo's actual results and could cause
TrustCo's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed
in any forward-looking statement: (i) credit risk; (ii) interest rate risk;
(iii) competition; (iv) changes in the regulatory environment; and (v) changes
in general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be
construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events.


9
Item 2.                   Properties

TrustCo's executive offices are located at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville, New
York, 12302. The Company operates 62 offices, of which 23 are owned and 39 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.

Item 14. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
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. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures that are designed
with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the
Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this
Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended. Subsequent to
the date of Management's evaluation, there were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
