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 512 full-time equivalent employees of
TrustCo at year-end 2005. TrustCo had 14,652 shareholders of record as of
December 31, 2005 and the closing price of the TrustCo common stock at that
date was $12.42.


Subsidiaries

Trustco Bank

Trustco Bank is a federal savings bank engaged in providing general banking
services to individuals, partnerships, and corporations. The Bank operates 81
automatic teller machines and 83 banking offices in Albany, Columbia,
Dutchess, Greene, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie,
Ulster, Warren, Washington and Westchester counties of New York, Sarasota,
Seminole and Orange counties in Florida, Bennington County in Vermont 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 2005 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


1
profit sharing trusts. The aggregate market value of the assets under
trust, custody, or management of the trust department of the Bank was
approximately $886 million as of December 31, 2005.

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

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.


TrustCo Charitable Foundation, Inc.

During 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 subsidiary 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 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. 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, 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.


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


2
savings and loan holding company registered 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 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, 2005, which appears on page
35 thereof, contains information concerning restrictions on TrustCo'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 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2005, which
appears on page 46 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


3
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 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.


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


4
through lending activities; (ii) its qualified investments; and (iii)
the 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, 2005 was 0% of the first $7.8
million of such accounts, 3% of the next $48.3 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, 2005.


Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

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 prohibitions on affiliations among
banks, securities firms and insurance companies. It authorized a broad range
of financial services to be conducted by these types of companies within a
new structure known as a "financial


5
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), the rules have not
had a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.


Other Legislation

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. 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.

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 to set and enforce auditing, quality
control and independence standards for accountants and


6
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 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.

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.

The proposed 2006 New York State budget bill contains a provision that would
disallow the exclusion of dividends paid by a real estate investment trust
subsidiary. The bill, if enacted as proposed, would be effective for taxable
years beginning on or after April 1, 2006. Assuming that the provision is
passed as proposed, the Company would lose the tax benefit associated with
the REIT.


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" on pages 6 through 25 of TrustCo's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2005, 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


7
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
are 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, 2005 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 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.


8
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 4.50%. 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.

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. In addition, the Company is subject to regulation
and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision. 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


9
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. 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

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.

Item 2. Properties

TrustCo's executive offices are located at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville, New

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.

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

and procedures are effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are
designed.

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 15, 2006 under the following captions is
incorporated herein by reference: "Information on TrustCo Directors and
Nominees" and "Information on TrustCo Executive Officers" on pages 5 through
11, and "Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance" on page 46.
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. 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.
