ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY


GENERAL

Headquartered in Ithaca, New York, Tompkins Trustco, Inc. ("Tompkins" or "the
Company") is the publicly traded parent company of Tompkins Trust Company (the
"Trust Company"), The Bank of Castile, and The Mahopac National Bank. Through
its banking subsidiaries the Company provides community banking services to
their local market areas in New York State. Tompkins is registered as a
Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Tompkins was organized in 1995, under the laws
of the State of New York, as a bank holding company for the Tompkins Trust
Company (formerly known as Tompkins County Trust Company), a commercial bank
that has operated in the community of Ithaca, New York, and environs since 1836.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On December 31, 1999, Tompkins completed a merger with Letchworth Independent
Bancshares ("Letchworth"), which was the parent company for The Bank of Castile
(a wholly-owned subsidiary) and The Mahopac National Bank (approximately 70
percent owned by Letchworth). The merger was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests, and upon completing the merger, Letchworth was merged with
and into Tompkins. All prior period financial information has been restated to
present the combined financial condition and results of operations of both
companies as if the merger had been in effect for all periods presented.

On June 4, 1999, Letchworth acquired 70.17 percent of the outstanding common
stock of The Mahopac National Bank in a cash transaction accounted for as a
purchase. Accordingly, operating results for The Mahopac National Bank are not
included for periods prior to June 4, 1999. Subsequent to June 4, 1999, net
income of The Mahopac National Bank is included in Tompkins' net income based
upon the percentage of Tompkins' ownership of The Mahopac National Bank.

Effective September 1, 2000, and early in 2001, Tompkins completed the purchase
of the minority interest in The Mahopac National Bank, primarily in a
stock-for-stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. Prior to September 1,
2000, the approximately 30% interest in The Mahopac National Bank, which was not
owned by Tompkins, was shown as a minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries
on the consolidated statements of condition.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Austin, Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son,
Inc., in a cash and stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. The two
agencies have been merged with and into Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins. The agencies primarily offer property and
casualty insurance to individuals and businesses in Western New York State. They
are expected to continue operating in their current locations, which include
Attica, Warsaw, Alden, LeRoy, Batavia and Caledonia. Further details pertaining
to the mergers and acquisitions are presented in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements, included herein.


NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Through its community bank subsidiaries, the Company provides traditional
banking related services, which constitute the Company's only business segment.
Banking services consist primarily of attracting deposits from the areas served
by its banking offices and using those deposits to originate a variety of
commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans (including commercial loans
collateralized by real estate), and leases, and providing trust and investment
related services. The Company's principal expenses are interest on deposits,
interest on borrowings, and operating and general administrative expenses, as
well as provisions for loan losses. Funding sources, other than deposits,
include borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and cash
flow from lending and investing activities.

The Company conducts trust and investment services through Tompkins Investment
Services, a division of Tompkins Trust Company. Tompkins Investment Services
provides a full range of money management services, including investment
management accounts, custody accounts, trusts, retirement plans and rollovers,
estate settlement, and financial planning.

The Company maintains a portfolio of securities such as U.S. government and
agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof,
equity securities, and interest-bearing deposits. It is the intention of
management to maintain short to intermediate average lives in the Company's
securities portfolio in order to better match the interest rate sensitivities of
its assets and liabilities.

Investment decisions are made within policy guidelines established by the
Company's board of directors. The investment policy established by the board of
directors is based on the asset/liability management goals of the Company. The
intent of the policy is to establish a portfolio of high quality diversified
securities, which optimize net interest income within acceptable limits of
safety and liquidity. Purchases of securities, other than certain obligations of
states and political subdivisions thereof, are classified as available-for-sale,

1
though it is generally management's intent to hold all securities to maturity.
Securities available-for-sale may be used to enhance total return, provide
additional liquidity, or reduce interest rate risk.

Information regarding the amortized cost and fair value of the securities
portfolio for the years ended 2000 and 1999 is presented in Note 3 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The amortized cost and fair value
of the securities portfolio for the year ended 1998 is presented in the table
below.

COMPETITION

The Company's subsidiary banks operate 30 offices, including two limited-service
offices, serving communities in upstate New York. The Trust Company operates 12
full-service and one limited service banking offices in the counties of Tompkins
and Schuyler. The Bank of Castile conducts its operations through its 12
full-service and one limited service offices, in towns situated in and around
the areas commonly known as the Letchworth State Park area and the Genesee
Valley region of New York State. The Mahopac National Bank is located in Putnam
County, and operates four full-service branches in that county. Deposits of all
three banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Competition for commercial banking and trust and investment services is strong
in the Company's market areas. Deregulation of the banking industry has created
a highly competitive environment for commercial banking services. Increased
competition has resulted in a decreasing number of community banks, and
increased competition from regional and national financial service providers. In
one or more aspects of its business, the Company competes with other commercial
banks, savings institutions, credit unions, mortgage bankers and brokers,
finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment
banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Many of these
competitors, some of which are affiliated with large financial holding
companies, have substantially greater resources and lending limits, and may
offer certain services the Company does not currently provide. In addition, many
non-bank competitors, such as credit unions, are not subject to the same taxes
or extensive federal regulations that apply to bank holding companies and
federally insured banks. The recent Letchworth acquisition provides increased
capacity for growth, and greater capital resources necessary to make investments
in technology and services that will improve the Company's ability to compete.

2
Since the office locations of The Mahopac National Bank and The Bank of Castile
are not immediately adjacent to markets served by the Trust Company, the merger
provides Tompkins with new areas to market products and services, with
relatively little disruption to the core strategy or operation of the Trust
Company. The Company's decision to operate as three locally managed community
banks reflects management's commitment to community banking as a business
strategy that will continue to be emphasized. The recent acquisitions of Austin,
Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son, Inc., to form Tompkins
Insurance Agencies, Inc. will add a line of insurance and risk management
products to the Company's array of financial products.

The area served by the Trust Company consists primarily of Tompkins County, with
an estimated population of 97,000 people. Education plays a significant role in
the local economy with Cornell University and Ithaca College being two of the
county's major employers. Current economic trends include low unemployment and
moderate growth. The Bank of Castile serves a five-county market that is
primarily rural in nature. The opening of a branch office in Chili, New York, in
1999 provides increased access to the suburban Rochester, New York, market.
Excluding Monroe County, which includes Rochester, the population of counties
served by The Bank of Castile is approximately 171,000. Economic growth has been
relatively flat in The Bank of Castile's market area, although the significant
population base of the suburban Rochester market (in excess of 700,000 people),
provides significant opportunities for growth. The primary market area for The
Mahopac National Bank is Putnam County, New York, with a population of
approximately 93,000. Putnam County is about 60 miles north of Manhattan, and is
one of the fastest growing counties in New York State.


REGULATION

As a registered financial holding company, the Company is subject to examination
and comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). The Company's
subsidiary banks are subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by
various regulatory authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the
New York State Banking Department (NYSBD). Each of these agencies issues
regulations and requires the filing of reports describing the activities and
financial condition of the entities under its jurisdiction. Likewise, such
agencies conduct examinations on a recurring basis to evaluate the safety and
soundness of the institutions, and to test compliance with various regulatory
requirements, including: consumer protection, fair lending, the Community
Reinvestment Act, sales of non-deposit investments, electronic data processing,
and trust department activities.

Under FRB regulations, the Company may not, without providing prior notice to
the FRB, purchase or redeem its own Common Stock if the gross consideration for
the purchase or redemption, combined with the net consideration paid for all
such purchases or redemptions during the preceding twelve months, is equal to
ten percent or more of the Company's consolidated net worth. Additionally, FRB
policy provides that dividends shall not be paid except out of current earnings
and unless prospective rate of earnings retention by the Company appears
consistent with its capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial
condition.

The FRB, the FDIC, and the OCC have promulgated capital adequacy guidelines that
are considered by the agencies in examining and supervising a bank or bank
holding company; and in analyzing any applications a bank or bank holding
company may submit to the appropriate agency. In addition, for supervisory
purposes, the agencies have promulgated regulations establishing five categories
of capitalization, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized,
depending upon the level of capitalization and other factors. Currently, the
Company and its subsidiary banks maintain leverage and risk-based capital ratios
above the required levels and are considered well capitalized under the
applicable regulations. A comparison of the Company's capital ratios and the
various regulatory requirements is included in Note 17 of the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

All deposit accounts of the Company's subsidiary banks are insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF), generally in amounts up to $100,000 per depositor. The
FDIC has the power to terminate a bank's insured status or to temporarily
suspend it under special conditions. Deposit insurance coverage is maintained by
payment of premiums assessed to banks insured by the BIF. Based on capital
strength and a favorable FDIC risk classification, the subsidiary banks are not
currently subject to BIF insurance assessments. Beginning in January 1997, all
BIF insured banks are subject to special assessments to repay Financing
Corporation (FICO) bonds, which were used to repay depositors of failed Savings
and Loan Associations after the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Fund
became insolvent.


EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2000, the Company employed 491 employees, approximately 93 of
whom were part-time. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement and the Company believes its employee relations are excellent.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Tompkins Trustco, Inc. ("Tompkins" or "the Company") was organized in 1995, as
the parent company of Tompkins Trust Company (the "Trust Company"), which traces
its charter back to 1836. On December 31, 1999, the Company completed a merger
with Letchworth Independent Bancshares Corporation ("Letchworth"), at which time
Letchworth was merged with and into Tompkins. Upon completion of the merger,
Letchworth's two subsidiary banks, The Bank of Castile and The Mahopac National
Bank, became subsidiaries of Tompkins. The merger with Letchworth was accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests, and accordingly all prior period financial
information has been restated to present the combined financial condition and
results of operations of both companies as if the merger had been in effect for
all periods presented.

On June 4, 1999, Letchworth acquired 70.17 percent of the outstanding common
stock of The Mahopac National Bank in a cash transaction accounted for as a
purchase. Accordingly, operating results for The Mahopac National Bank are not
included for periods prior to June 4, 1999. Subsequent to June 4, 1999, net
income of The Mahopac National Bank is included in Tompkins' net income based
upon the percentage of Tompkins' ownership of The Mahopac National Bank. This
transaction with The Mahopac National Bank resulted in a core deposit intangible
of $3.5 million, which is being amortized over a ten year period, and goodwill
of $2.5 million, which is being amortized over a 20 year period.

Effective September 1, 2000, and early in 2001, Tompkins Trustco, Inc. completed
the purchase of the minority interest in The Mahopac National Bank, primarily in
a stock-for-stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. Prior to September 1,
2000, the approximately 30 percent interest in The Mahopac National Bank, which
was not owned by Tompkins, was shown as a minority interest in consolidated
subsidiaries on the consolidated statements of condition. Subsequent to
September 1, 2000, effectively all of the net income of The Mahopac National
Bank is included in Tompkins' consolidated net income. The approximately 30%
acquisition of The Mahopac National Bank resulted in a core deposit intangible
of $1.9 million, which is being amortized over a 10 year period, and goodwill of
$2.5 million, which is being amortized over a 20 year period.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Austin, Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son,
Inc., in a cash and stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. The two
agencies have been merged with and into Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins. The agencies are expected to continue
operating in their current western New York locations, which include Attica,
Warsaw, Alden, LeRoy, Batavia and Caledonia. The purchase agreements for the
insurance agencies include provisions for additional consideration to be paid in
the form of Company stock if certain income targets are met by Tompkins
Insurance Agencies, Inc. in 2001 and 2002. The contingent consideration includes
25,093 shares, which are payable if the income targets are met, and an
additional 8,333 shares which are payable if income targets are exceeded by 5%.
Additional information on the Company's merger and acquisition activities is
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The following analysis is intended to provide the reader with a further
understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
of the Company and its operating subsidiaries for the periods shown. For a full
understanding of this analysis, it should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report may include forward-looking statements with respect to revenue
sources, growth, market risk, and corporate objectives. The Company assumes no
duty, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update forward-looking
statements, and cautions that these statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risk, and uncertainties, all of which could change over time.
Actual results could differ materially from forward-looking statements.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating earnings, which exclude amortization of intangible assets and one-time
merger-related expenses, were $18.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2000, up 8 percent from 1999 operating earnings of $16.9 million. Earnings
reported in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) were
$17.5 million in 2000, up 15.2 percent over 1999. Similar growth was seen in per
share earnings, as 2000 diluted operating earnings per share of $2.55 reflect an
8.3 percent increase over 1999. Diluted earning per share reported in accordance
with GAAP increased by 15.6 percent to $2.45 in 2000, from $2.12 in 1999. Basic
earnings per share were 2.47 in 2000, compared to 2.15 in 1999.

The Company's strong earnings performance in 2000 is attributable to the success
of the core business strategies of the Company and its community banking
subsidiaries, which include diversified revenue sources consisting of net
interest income generated from the loan and securities portfolios, trust and
investment services income, and other service charges and fees for providing
banking and related financial services. Although net interest income remains the
Company's primary revenue source, management continues to focus on growing
revenue from noninterest related sources.

(1) Average balances and yields on available-for-sale securities are based on
amortized cost.

(2) Interest income includes the tax effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments
using a combined New York State and federal effective income tax rate of 40
percent in 2000 and 1999, and 41 percent in 1998, to increase tax-exempt
interest income to a taxable equivalent basis.

(3) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan totals presented above.
Payments received on nonaccrual loans have been recognized as disclosed in Note
1 of the consolidated financial statements.

Return on average shareholders' equity (ROE) was 17.09 percent in 2000, compared
to 15.46 percent in 1999, and 16.09 percent in 1998. The decline in ROE in 1999
was due to one-time merger-related expenses related to the Letchworth merger.
Operating ROE (using operating earnings) was 17.70 percent in 2000, 16.91
percent in 1999, and 16.22 percent in 1998. Return on average assets (ROA) was
1.42 percent in 2000, 1.41 percent in 1999, and 1.57 percent in 1998. Operating
ROA was 1.48 percent in 2000, 1.57 percent in 1999, and 1.59 percent in 1999.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Table 1 illustrates the trend in average interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, and the corresponding yield or cost associated
with each. Tax-equivalent net interest income improved to $54.0 million in 2000,
up from $49.1 million in 1999, and $42.3 million in 1998. The growth was
supported by an increased volume of earning assets, which grew by 14.0 percent
in 2000, following growth of 15.4 percent in 1999. Growth in average earning
assets between year-end 1999 and year-end 2000 was primarily centered in the
loan portfolio, which included a $61.4 million increase in average commercial
loans, and a $51.8 million increase in average residential real estate loans.
Net interest income also benefited from an improved mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Average loans for 2000 increased to 69.7 percent
of average earning assets, compared to 67.2 percent in 1999, while average core
deposits (total deposits, less time deposits of $100,000 or more) improved to
56.2 percent of average liabilities in 2000, compared to 56.0 percent in 1999.
The $85.5 million increase in average core deposits from 1999 to 2000 was
primarily centered in the Company's two newest branches - the Brewster Office of
The Mahopac National Bank, which opened in the first quarter of 2000; and the
Chili Office of The Bank of Castile, which opened in the second quarter of 1999.

The Company's net interest margin declined slightly in 2000 to 4.72 percent,
down from 4.89 percent in 1999. The net interest margin in 2000 was negatively
impacted by rising short term interest rates, which resulted in an inverted
yield curve for much of 2000, whereby short term interest rates exceeded longer
term interest rates. Additionally, the net interest margin has experienced
downward pressure due to the competitive environment for loans and deposits in
the markets in which the Company competes. The long term impact of these
economic and competitive factors is likely to result in continued narrowing of
net interest margins for the Company, and the industry as a whole. Nevertheless,
management feels that recent acquisitions have improved the Company's
competitive position as it relates to net interest margin by providing
additional sources of lower cost core deposits and creating an improved balance
sheet mix with less interest rate risk exposure.

Changes in net interest income occur from a combination of changes in the volume
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the rate of
interest earned or paid on them. Table 2 illustrates changes in interest income
and interest expense attributable to changes in volume (change in average
balance multiplied by prior year rate), changes in rate (change in rate
multiplied by prior year volume), and the net change in net interest income. The
net change attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate has been
allocated to each in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change.

The $4.9 million increase in tax-equivalent net interest income from 1999 to
2000 included a $14.5 million increase in interest income, which was partially
offset by a $9.5 million increase in interest expense. An increased volume of
earning assets resulted in a $7.1 million increase in net interest income
between 1999 and 2000, while the impact from changes in interest rates resulted
in a $2.2 million reduction in net interest income. Between 1998 and 1999, net
interest income increased by $6.8 million, with a $7.9 million increase in
interest income offset by a $1.2 million increase in interest expense. An
increased volume of earning assets contributed $7.2 million to the increase in
net interest income, which was offset by a $492,000 decline in net interest
income due to an unfavorable rate variance.

</TABLE>

Notes: See notes to Table 1.


PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

The provision for loan/lease losses represents management's estimate of the
expense necessary to maintain the reserve for loan/lease losses at an adequate
level. The provision for loan/lease losses was $1.2 million in 2000, $944,000 in
1999, and $1.5 million in 1998. The increase in 2000 is primarily due to growth
in the loan portfolio. Although, recent industry trends (as reported by the
FDIC) indicate deterioration in asset quality for the commercial banking
industry as a whole, the Company's loan portfolio remains of generally high
quality, as evidenced by the low level of nonperforming loans and declining
trends in net charge-offs. Nonperforming loans and leases were $4.7 million at
December 31, 2000, representing a modest 0.56 percent of total loans and leases
outstanding at year-end. Nonperforming loans and leases at year-end 1999 were
$4.3 million, also representing 0.56 percent of total loans and leases. Net
charge-offs of $620,000 in 2000 represented 0.08 percent of average loans during
the period, compared to net charge-offs of $632,000 in 1999, representing 0.09
percent of average loans and leases.


OTHER INCOME

Other income, excluding sales of securities, has increased steadily as a
percentage of revenue (net interest income, plus other income) from 19 percent
in 1998, to 20 percent in 1999, to 21 percent in 2000. Although net interest
income remains the primary revenue source for the Company, competitive,
regulatory, and economic conditions have led management to target other income
opportunities as an important driver of long-term revenue growth. Management
believes a continued focus on noninterest income will improve the Company's
ability to compete with non-bank competitors, and reduce earnings volatility
that may result from changes in the general interest rate environment. The
success of this strategy is evident, as other income increased by 22 percent in
2000, 21 percent in 1999, and 19 percent in 1998. Other income of $14.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000, reflects an increase of $2.6 million over
1999. A portion of the growth is attributable to the fact that other income of
The Mahopac National Bank is included for the full year in 2000, and only seven
months in 1999. If income from The Mahopac National Bank were included for the
full year in 1999, the growth in 2000 would have been approximately $2.1
million, or approximately 17.4 percent.

Through the Trust Company, the Company has invested significant resources in
developing fee income producing products and services. Many of these products
and services can be offered to customers of The Bank of Castile and The Mahopac
National Bank, thereby expanding the customer base for these products. The
process of marketing these products throughout the Tompkins organization was
started in 2000 and is expected to continue in 2001 and beyond, creating
continued opportunities for growth in noninterest income.

12
Income from trust and investment services remains the largest source of other
income. The Tompkins Investment Services Division of Tompkins Trust Company
generates fee income through managing trust and investment relationships,
managing estates, providing custody services, and managing employee benefits
plans. Trust and investments services income of $4.6 million in 2000 represents
an 11 percent increase over 1999. Trust and investment services income grew by 8
percent from 1998 to 1999. Increased fee income is attributable to the continued
growth in average assets managed by, or in the custody of, Tompkins Investment
Services. Income generated by Tompkins Investment Services is largely based on
the value of the assets managed by the division, which can be affected by
general trends in the stock market, as well as the amount of new business
generated. Total assets managed by, or in custody of, Tompkins Investment
Services had a market value of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
compared to $952.9 million at December 31, 1998.

Tompkins Investment Services remains important to future revenue growth of the
Company. Services are primarily provided to customers in the Trust Company's
market area of Tompkins County and surrounding areas, although the division
currently manages assets for clients in more than 40 states. In 2001, Tompkins
Investment Services expects to expand its presence in the markets served by The
Bank of Castile and The Mahopac National Bank. In 1997, the Company expanded the
reach of Tompkins Investment Services by offering trust and investment services
through a "Trust Alliance" program, through which the Company provides servicing
and administrative support to trust departments of other banks. The Company
currently has Trust Alliances with two non-affiliated community banks, which
have assets under management totaling $54.0 million at December 31, 2000.

Card services, included in other service charges on the consolidated statements
of income, have been another growth area for the Company, as technology has
created opportunities to provide customers with new products to better serve
their needs. Card services products include traditional credit cards, purchasing
cards, debit cards, automated teller machines (ATM), and merchant card
processing. Fee income associated with card services increased 31 percent in
2000 to $2.1 million, following growth of 56.7 percent in 1999.

Other income includes a $956,000 increase in cash surrender value of corporate
owned life insurance, up from $723,000, in 1999, and $66,000 in 1998. This
income is exempt from taxes. The corporate owned life insurance was purchased
primarily in the third and fourth quarters of 1998, and relates to life
insurance provided to certain senior officers. Increases in the cash surrender
value of the insurance are reflected as other operating income, and the related
mortality expense is recognized as an other operating expense. Although income
associated with the insurance policies is not included in interest income,
increases in the cash surrender value produced a tax-adjusted return of
approximately 7.9 percent in 2000, and 8.1 percent in 1999.

The recent acquisitions of Austin, Hardie, Wise, Inc. and Ernest Townsend &
Sons, Inc., (effective January 1, 2001) will provide an additional source of
noninterest income and enhance the Company's ability to serve its customers with
a full range of financial products and services.


OTHER EXPENSE

The Company's 2000 other expenses increased 13.1 percent, over 1999, to $38.8
million. Operating expenses, which excludes amortization of intangible assets
and one-time merger expense, increased 17.1 percent. The $5.5 million increase
in operating expenses is partially attributable to the fact that expenses of The
Mahopac National Bank are included for the full year in 2000, and only seven
months in 1999. If expenses of The Mahopac National Bank were included for the
full year in 1999, the growth in 2000 would have been approximately $3.3
million, or approximately 9.9 percent. The increase in 2000 also includes
approximately $1.1 million of increased expenses associated with two branch
office openings -- the Chili Office of The Bank of Castile (opened in the third
quarter of 1999), and the Brewster Office of The Mahopac National Bank (opened
in the first quarter of 2000).

The Company's efficiency ratio (operating expense divided by tax-equivalent net
interest income plus other income before securities gains and losses) was 55.1
percent in 2000, 52.6 percent in 1999, and 50.9 percent in 1998. The increase in
2000 is primarily due to increased expenses associated with the opening of the
Chili Office of The Bank of Castile and the Brewster Office of The Mahopac
National Bank.

Personnel-related expenses comprise the largest segment of other expense,
representing approximately 57 percent of operating expenses in 2000, compared to
approximately 58 percent in 1999, and 57 percent in 1998. Total
personnel-related expenses increased by $2.9 million in 2000, to $21.5 million.
If expenses of The Mahopac National Bank were included for the full year in
1999, the increase in 2000 would have been approximately $1.6 million, or
approximately 8.2 percent.

Expense for premises, furniture, and fixtures increased to $5.0 million in 2000,
from $4.1 million in 1999. The increase in 2000 is primarily due to increased
expenses associated with the opening of the Chili Office of The Bank of Castile
and the Brewster Office of The Mahopac National Bank. Approximately $277,000 of
the increase relates to the fact that expenses of The Mahopac National Bank are
included for the full year in 2000, and only seven months in 1999.

13
Amortization of intangible assets for 2000 includes $885,000 of amortization
expense related to core deposit intangible assets and approximately $250,000 of
amortization expense related to goodwill. Merger-related expenses in 1999 of
$1.5 million are primarily related to investment banking services and other
professional services associated with the Letchworth merger.

Other expenses included, among other things, fees paid for marketing services,
postage and courier services, telephone expense, donations, software maintenance
and amortization, and card services related expense. The increase from $9.5
million in 1999 to $11.2 million in 2000, is attributable to several factors,
including: normal increases associated with growth in noninterest revenue,
increased marketing costs associated with new branch openings, increased
technology investments including improved internet banking services, and
approximately $611,000 related to the fact that expenses of The Mahopac National
Bank are included for the full year in 2000, and only seven months in 1999.


MINORITY INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

Minority interest expense represents the portion of net income in consolidated
majority-owned subsidiaries that is attributable to the minority owners of the
subsidiary. Minority interest expense for 2000 includes $433,000 related to the
approximate 30 percent interest held by minority owners of The Mahopac National
Bank for the period from January 1, 2000, through September 1, 2000. Effective
September 1, 2000, the Company acquired the interest held by the minority
owners. Minority interest expense for 1999 includes $403,000 related to the
minority owners of The Mahopac National Bank for the period from June 3, 1999,
through December 31, 1999. The Company also had minority interest expense of
$135,000 in 2000, and $155,000 in 1999 related to minority interests in three
real estate investment trusts, which are substantially owned by the Company's
banking subsidiaries.


INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The provision for income taxes provides for Federal and New York State income
taxes. The 2000 provision was $8.3 million, compared to $7.8 million in 1999,
and $7.2 million in 1998. The increasing trend is primarily due to increased
levels of taxable income. The effective tax rate for 2000 was 32.0 percent,
compared to 34.1 percent in 1999, and 33.3 percent in 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During 2000, total assets grew by 9.8 percent to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.2
billion at December 31, 1999. Table 3 provides a comparison of average and
year-end balances of selected balance sheet categories over the past three
years, and the change in those balances between 1999 and 2000. Earning asset
growth in 2000 consisted of a $90.4 million increase in loans, offset by a $3.0
million decline in the amortized cost of securities. Asset growth was funded
primarily with core deposits, which increased by $57.1 million, including $33.3
million related to new branch openings. Asset growth was also supported by a
$25.2 million increase in borrowings, and a $14.4 million increase in securities
sold under agreements to repurchase.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity, included under
Item 8 herein, detail the changes in equity capital, including payments to
shareholders in the form of cash dividends. Per share cash dividends for 1999
and 1998 represent the historical per share dividends paid on Tompkins common
stock, while the dollar amount of the dividends paid represents the cash
dividends paid by the combined organization. The Company continued the long
history of increasing cash dividends with a per share increase of 4.9 percent in
2000, which followed a 13.2 percent increase in 1999. Dividends per share
amounted to $1.08 in 2000, compared to $1.03 in 1999, and $0.91 in 1998. Cash
dividends paid represented 44 percent, 41 percent, and 38 percent of net income
after tax in each of 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Total shareholders' equity was $115.0 million at December 31, 2000, compared to
$96.6 million at December 31, 1999, and $97.7 million at December 31, 1998. The
$18.4 million increase from year-end 1999 to year-end 2000 included a $9.8
million increase in retained earnings and an $8.2 million increase from the
issuance of shares to purchase the minority interest in The Mahopac National
Bank. The $4.7 million of other comprehensive income was offset by $4.9 million
in common stock repurchased and returned to unissued status. On August 15, 2000,
the board of directors of the Company approved a repurchase plan (the "Plan")
authorizing the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock
over a 24 month period. As of December 31, 2000, 130,244 shares had been
repurchased under the Plan at an average purchase price of $26.41 per share.

15
The decline in shareholders' equity from year-end 1998 to year-end 1999 was due
primarily to a decline in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, as a
result of rising interest rates in the second half of 1999. The decline in fair
value of securities resulted in other comprehensive loss of $7.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. Shareholders' equity also declined by
approximately $4.1 million in 1999 due to the repurchase of 128,731 shares of
common stock. Shares repurchased in 1999 were partially offset by 71,786 net
shares issued through the exercise of stock options.

Tangible equity of $105.1 million represented 8.1 percent of tangible assets at
December 31, 2000, compared to tangible equity of $90.4 million representing 7.6
percent of tangible assets as of December 31, 1999. Tangible book value per
share increased from $12.78 at December 31, 1999, to $14.36 at December 31,
2000.

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to quantitative capital
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. Consistent with
the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the Company and its
subsidiary banks maintain capital ratios well above regulatory minimums, as
detailed in Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements.

SECURITIES

The securities portfolio (excluding fair value adjustments on available-for-sale
securities) at December 31, 2000 was $330.2 million, reflecting a decrease of 1
percent, from the previous year-end. Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements details the types of securities held, the carrying and fair values,
and the contractual maturities. Qualified tax-exempt debt securities, primarily
obligations of state and political subdivisions, were $72.3 million at December
31, 2000, or 21.9 percent of total securities, compared to $78.9 million, or
23.7 percent of securities at year-end 1999. Mortgage-backed securities,
consisting solely of securities issued by U.S. government agencies, totaled $
84.3 million at December 31, 2000, compared to $85.3 million at December 31,
1999.

Management's policy is to purchase investment grade securities that, on average,
have relatively short expected maturities. This policy helps mitigate interest
rate risk and provides sources of liquidity without significant risk to capital.
A large percentage of securities are direct obligations of the Federal
government and its agencies. Expected maturities may differ from contractual
maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with
or without penalty. At December 31, 2000, approximately 10 percent of total debt
securities were scheduled to mature in one year or less. The maturity
distribution of debt securities and mortgage-backed securities as of December
31, 2000, along with the weighted average yield of each category, is presented
in Table 4. Balances are shown at amortized cost.

</TABLE>

Residential real estate loans grew by $32.2 million or 10.3 percent in 2000, and
comprised 41 percent of total loans and leases. Residential real estate loan
growth has exceeded 10 percent in each of the last five years. The Company
occasionally sells some of its residential mortgage loans to Federal agencies
and retains all servicing rights. The Company sold $7.2 million of residential
mortgage loans in 2000, compared to $6.0 million in 1999. Mortgage servicing on
sold loans continues to provide fee income. Residential mortgage loans serviced
for others totaled $63.3 million at December 31, 2000, compared to $59.1 million
at December 31, 1999.

Commercial real estate loans increased by $10.3 million in 2000, or 7.3 percent.
Commercial real estate loans of $152.2 million represented 18 percent of total
loans and leases at December 31, 2000. Commercial loans totaled $203.0 million
at December 31, 2000, an increase of 22 percent over 1999. Growth in commercial
lending reflects an increased emphasis in commercial lending, which was
supported by the opening of the Chili and Brewster offices, along with the 2000
opening of The Bank of Castile's Medina loan production office.

The consumer loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, indirect
automobile financing, credit card loans, and overdraft lines of credit. Consumer
and other loans were $110.1 million at December 31, 2000, up from $99.2 million
at December 31, 1999. Consumer loan growth was primarily concentrated in The
Bank of Castile market area, and included $5.5 million of growth in indirect
auto financing.

The lease portfolio increased by 3.8 percent in 2000, to $19.6 million. The
lease portfolio has traditionally consisted of leases on vehicles for consumers
and small businesses. Competition for automobile financing has increased in
recent years, resulting in a decline in the consumer lease portfolio. In
response to the decline in consumer leasing opportunities, management has
increased its marketing efforts relating to commercial leasing, which has been
the primary source of growth in the lease portfolio. As of December 31, 2000,
commercial leases represented 69 percent of total leases, compared to 58 percent
at year-end 1999.


THE RESERVE FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

Management reviews the adequacy of the reserve for loan/lease losses on a
regular basis. Factors considered in determining the adequacy of the reserve and
the related provision include: management's approach to granting new credit; the
ongoing monitoring of existing credits by the internal loan review department;
the growth and composition of the loan and lease portfolio; comments received
during the course of independent examinations; current local economic
conditions; past due and nonaccrual loan statistics; and a historical review of
loan and lease loss experience. Based upon consideration of the above factors,
management believes that the allowance for loan/lease losses is adequate to
provide for the risk of loss inherent in the current loan and lease portfolio.

Management uses a model to measure some of these factors and the resulting
quantitative analysis, combined with qualitative assessments, comprise the basis
on which the adequacy of the reserve for loan/lease losses is determined. The
reserve for loan/lease losses increased by $596,000 from 1999 to 2000. The
increase is a result of the provision for loan/lease losses exceeding the net
loan losses for the year. The allocation of the Company's reserve for loan/lease
losses for year-end 2000, and each of the previous four year-ends is illustrated
in Table 6.

The reserve represented 1.16 percent of total loans and leases outstanding at
year-end 2000, down slightly from 1.22 percent at December 31, 1999. The reserve
coverage of nonperforming loans (loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual
loans, and restructured troubled debt) declined slightly to 2.07 times at
December 31, 2000, compared to 2.16 times at December 31, 1999. Management is
committed to early recognition of loan problems and to maintaining an adequate
reserve. Based upon management's review, the reserve is believed adequate to
absorb probable losses in the portfolio. The above allocation is neither
indicative of the specific amounts or the loan categories in which future
charge-offs may occur nor is it an indicator of future loss trends. The
allocation of the allowance to each category does not restrict the use of the
allowances to absorb losses in any category. The Company's historical loss
experience is detailed in Table 7.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Total deposits of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2000, reflect an increase of
$60.7 million over total deposits at year-end 1999. Deposit growth consisted
primarily of core deposits, which increased by $57.1 million, while time
deposits of $100,000 or more grew by $3.5 million. The Company's Chili and
Brewster offices contributed $10.7 million and $34.8 million, respectively to
deposit growth in 2000.

The Company's liability for securities sold under agreements to repurchase
("repurchase agreements") amounted to $72.2 million at December 31, 2000,
representing a $14.4 million increase over year-end 1999. Repurchase agreements
are arrangements with local customers of the Company, in which the Company
agrees to sell securities to the customer with an agreement to repurchase those
securities at a specified later date. Management generally views local
repurchase agreements as an alternative to large time deposits.

During 2000, the Company increased its borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) by $25.2 million, to $67.3 million. Borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2000, included $22 million in borrowings due in one year or less,
and $45.1 million due in more than one year. The weighted average interest rate
on borrowings due in more than one year was 6.22 percent at December 31, 2000.

19
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of adequate
funding sources to satisfy the demand for credit, deposit withdrawals, and
business investment opportunities. The Company's large, stable core deposit base
and strong capital position are the foundation for the Company's liquidity
position. Asset and liability positions are monitored primarily through
Asset/Liability Management Committees of the subsidiary banks, which review
periodic reports on the liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions.
Comparisons with industry and peer groups are also monitored.

Core deposits remain the key funding source, representing 82 percent of total
deposits, and 72 percent of total liabilities at December 31, 2000. Non-core
funding sources (time deposits of $100,000 or more, repurchase agreements, and
other borrowings) increased as a percentage of total liabilities from 26 percent
at December 31, 1999, to 27 percent at December 31, 2000. Short-term investments
consisting of securities with maturities of one year or less and Federal funds
sold increased from $42.6 million at December 31, 1999, to $52.5 million at
December 31, 2000. The ratio of short-term investments to short-term non-core
liabilities increased from 17.0 percent at year-end 1999, to 19.5 percent at
year-end 2000, indicating a slight decline in the volume of long-term assets
supported by short-term non-core liabilities.

Non-core funding sources may require securities to be pledged against the
underlying liability. At December 31, 2000, securities pledged to secure certain
large deposits, repurchase agreements, and other borrowings amounted to $261.5
million, compared to $249.3 million at December 31, 1999. Total securities
pledged for deposits and repurchase agreements represented 79.2 percent of total
securities at December 31, 2000, compared to 76.7 percent of total securities at
December 31, 1999.

Liquidity is enhanced by ready access to national and regional wholesale funding
sources including Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, negotiable
certificates of deposit, and FHLB advances. Through its subsidiary banks, the
Company has borrowing relationships with the FHLB and correspondent banks, which
provide secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2000, the
unused borrowing capacity on established lines with the FHLB was $116.9 million.
As members of the FHLB, the Company's subsidiary banks can use unencumbered
mortgage-related assets to secure additional borrowings from the FHLB. At
December 31, 2000, total qualifying real estate assets of the Company were
$496.9 million.

Cash flow from the loan and investment portfolios provides a significant source
of liquidity. These assets may have stated maturities in excess of one year, but
have monthly principal reductions. Total mortgage-backed securities increased
from $83.2 million at year-end 1999, to $84.3 million at year-end 2000.
Investments in residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and leases totaled
approximately $474.4 million at December 31, 2000. Aggregate amortization from
monthly payments on these assets provides significant cash flow to the Company.
Table 8 details total scheduled maturities of selected loan categories.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Company
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective January 1, 2001. This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those assets at fair
value. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments are
reported as either net income or as a component of comprehensive income,
depending on whether or not it qualifies from hedge accounting. Consequently,
there may be increased volatility in net income and shareholders' equity as a
result of accounting for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

Special hedge accounting treatment is permitted only if specific criteria are
met, including a requirement that the hedging relationship be highly effective
both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Results of effective hedges are
recognized in current earnings for fair value hedges, in other comprehensive
income for cash flow hedges. Ineffective portions of hedges are recognized
immediately in earnings and are not deferred. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 by
the Company on January 1, 2001, did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

20
ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK COMPENSATION: In March 2000,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions
involving Stock Compensation." FASB Interpretation No. 44 clarifies certain
issues relating to the application of Accounting Principles Board No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FASB Interpretation No. 44 became
effective on July 31, 2000, and the adoption of this interpretation did not have
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES: In September 2000, The FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
SFAS No. 140 replaces identically titled SFAS No. 125, and it carries forward
most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without change. It does revise accounting
standards for securitizations and certain other transfers of financial assets
and collateral. The statement is generally applied prospectively to transactions
and servicing activities occurring after March 31, 2001, although provisions
with respect to collateral and certain disclosure requirements are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this statement did
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to sensitivity to interest
rate changes. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the volatility in earnings,
resulting from changes in interest rates. Each quarter the Asset/Liability
Management Committees estimate the earnings impact of changes in interest rates.
The findings of the committees are incorporated into investment and funding
decisions, and in the business planning process.

Table 9 is a Condensed Static Gap Report, which illustrates the anticipated
repricing intervals of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2000. The
analysis reflects a liability sensitive position, suggesting that earnings would
benefit from a declining interest rate environment and would be hindered by a
rising rate environment.

* Balances of available-for-sale securities are shown at amortized cost.

Management uses a simulation model to assess the potential impact from various
interest rate movements. Based upon the simulation analysis performed as of
December 31, 2000, a 200 basis point upward shift in interest rates over a
one-year time frame would result in a one-year decline of approximately 3
percent in net interest income, assuming management takes no action to address
balance sheet mismatches. The same simulation indicates that a 200 basis point
decline in interest rates over a one-year period would increase net interest
income by less than 1 percent. The simulation model is useful in identifying
potential exposure to interest rate movements; however, management feels that
certain actions could be taken to offset some of the negative effects of
unfavorable movements in interest rates. Although the analysis reflects some
exposure to rising interest rates, management feels the exposure is not
significant in relation to the earnings and capital strength of the Company.

Additional information regarding market risk of the Company's financial
instruments at December 31, 2000 is provided in Table 10.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Tompkins Trustco, Inc. ("Tompkins" or "the Company") is a
Financial Holding Company, organized under the laws of New York State, and is
the parent company of three wholly-owned community banking subsidiaries
- - -Tompkins Trust Company (the "Trust Company"), The Bank of Castile, and The
Mahopac National Bank. The consolidated financial information included herein
combines the results of operations, the assets, liabilities, and shareholders'
equity (including comprehensive income) of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclose contingent assets and
liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial
statements are reclassified when necessary to conform with the current year's
presentation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows
include cash and noninterest bearing balances due from banks and Federal funds
sold.

SECURITIES: Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and
equity securities at the time of purchase. Securities are classified as
held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized
cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity
securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities
are stated at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated
comprehensive income or loss, in shareholders' equity.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the expected life of the
related security as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. Dividend
and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses on the
sale of securities are included in securities gains (losses). The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary is charged to
earnings, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

LOANS AND LEASES: Loans are reported at their principal outstanding balance, net
of deferred loan origination fees and costs, and unearned income. The Company
has the ability and intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future, except
for education loans which are sold to a third party from time to time upon
reaching repayment status. The Company provides motor vehicle and equipment
financing to its customers through direct financing leases. These leases are
carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable, plus estimated residual
values, less unearned income. Unearned income on direct financing leases is
amortized over the lease terms, resulting in a level rate of return.

RESERVE FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES: The reserve for loan/lease losses is regularly
evaluated by management in order to maintain the reserve at a level consistent
with the inherent risk of loss in the loan and lease portfolios. Management's
evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve is based upon a review of the
Company's historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan and
lease portfolios, the estimated value of collateral, the level of nonperforming
loans, and trends in delinquencies. External factors, such as the level and
trend of interest rates and the national and local economies, are also
considered. Management believes that the reserve for loan/lease losses is
adequate.

Management considers a loan to be impaired if, based on current information, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the
impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan or, as a practical
expedient, at the observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. Management excludes large groups of smaller
balance homogeneous loans such as residential mortgages, consumer loans, and
leases, which are collectively evaluated. All loans and leases restructured in a
troubled debt restructuring are also considered impaired loans. Impairment
losses are included in the reserve for loan/lease losses through a charge to the
provision for loan/lease losses.

INCOME RECOGNITION ON IMPAIRED AND NONACCRUAL LOANS AND LEASES: Loans and
leases, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they
are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of
more than 90 days, unless such loans are well secured and in the process of
collection. Loans that are past due less than 90 days may also be classified as
nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal or interest is in doubt.

Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts
contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment
within an acceptable time period, and there is a sustained period of repayment
performance by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Payments received on loans carried as nonaccrual are generally
applied as a reduction to principal. When the future collectibility of the
recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash
basis.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED: Other real estate owned consists of properties formerly
pledged as collateral to loans, which have been acquired by the Company through
foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other
real estate owned is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan
or the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Upon
transfer of a loan to foreclosure status, an appraisal is obtained and any
excess of the loan balance over the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, is
charged against the reserve for loan/lease losses. Expenses and subsequent
adjustments to the fair value are treated as other operating expense.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and
equipment are stated at cost, less allowances for depreciation. The provision
for depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed generally by the
straight-line method at rates sufficient to write-off the cost of such assets
over their estimated useful lives. Bank premises are amortized over a period of
10-39 years, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are amortized over a period
of 2-20 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

INCOME TAXES: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase
price over the fair value of assets acquired in a transaction using purchase
accounting. Core deposit intangible represents a premium paid to acquire a base
of stable low cost deposits in the acquisition of a bank, or a bank branch,
using purchase accounting. The amortization period of goodwill ranges from 10
years to 20 years, and the amortization period for core deposit intangible
ranges from 5 years to 10 years. The amortization periods are monitored to
determine if circumstances require such period to be reduced. The Company
periodically reviews its intangible assets for changes in circumstances that may
indicate the carrying amount of the asset is impaired.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE: Securities sold under agreements
to repurchase (repurchase agreements) are agreements in which the Company
transfers the underlying securities to a third-party custodian's account that
explicitly recognizes the Company's interest in the securities. The agreements
are accounted for as secured financing transactions provided the Company
maintains effective control over the transferred securities and meets other
criteria as specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
125. The Company's agreements are accounted for as secured financings;
accordingly, the transaction proceeds are reflected as liabilities and the
securities underlying the agreements continue to be carried in the Company's
securities portfolio.

TREASURY STOCK: The cost of treasury stock is shown on the consolidated
statements of condition as a separate component of shareholders' equity, and is
a reduction to total shareholders' equity. Shares are released from treasury at
fair value, with any gain or loss on the sale reflected as an adjustment to
shareholders' equity. All shares currently carried in treasury are the result of
a single purchase; therefore, the cost basis for shares released is equal to the
actual cost.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK: In the normal course of
business the Company is party to certain financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk such as commitments under stand-by letters of credit,
unused portions of lines of credit, and commitments to fund new loans. The
Company's policy is to record such instruments when funded.

TRUST AND INVESTMENT SERVICES DIVISION: Assets held in fiduciary or agency
capacities for customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of condition, since such items are not assets of the Company. Fees
associated with providing trust and investment services are included in other
income.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year plus the maximum dilutive effect of
stock issuable upon conversion of stock options and warrants.

CASH DIVIDENDS PER SHARE: Cash dividends per share reflect actual historical
information for Tompkins Trustco, Inc.

SEGMENT REPORTING: The Company's operations are solely in the financial services
industry and include the provisions of traditional commercial banking services.
The Company operates primarily in the geographical areas in the proximity of its
branch locations in New York State. Operating decisions are made based upon a
review of the Company's traditional banking services, which constitute the
Company's only reportable segment.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: For the Company, comprehensive income represents net
income plus the net change in unrealized gains or losses on securities available
for sale for the period (net of taxes), and is presented in the consolidated
statements of changes in shareholders' equity. Accumulated other comprehensive
income represents the net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for
sale (net of tax) as of the dates of the consolidated statements of condition.

STOCK BASE COMPENSATION: The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly,
compensation expense is recognized only if the exercise price of the option is
less than the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 requires companies not using a
fair value based method of accounting for stock options to provide pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of
accounting had been applied.

29
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Company
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective
January 1, 2001. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure
those assets at fair value. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial
instruments are reported as either net income or as a component of comprehensive
income, depending on whether or not it qualifies from hedge accounting.
Consequently, there may be increased volatility in net income and shareholders'
equity as a result of accounting for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No.
133.

Special hedge accounting treatment is permitted only if specific criteria are
met, including a requirement that the hedging relationship be highly effective
both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Results of effective hedges are
recognized in current earnings for fair value hedges, in other comprehensive
income for cash flow hedges. Ineffective portions of hedges are recognized
immediately in earnings and are not deferred. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 by
the Company on January 1, 2001, did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK COMPENSATION: In March 2000,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions
involving Stock Compensation." FASB Interpretation No. 44 clarifies certain
issues relating to the application of Accounting Principles Board No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FASB Interpretation No. 44 became
effective on July 31, 2000, and the adoption of this interpretation did not have
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES: In September 2000, The FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
SFAS No. 140 replaces identically titled SFAS No. 125, and it carries forward
most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without change. It does revise accounting
standards for securitizations and certain other transfers of financial assets
and collateral. The statement is generally applied prospectively to transactions
and servicing activities occurring after March 31, 2001, although provisions
with respect to collateral and certain disclosure requirements are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this statement did
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.

NOTE 2 MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

LETCHWORTH INDEPENDENT BANCSHARES CORPORATION ACQUISITION

On December 20, 1999, the shareholders of Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and Letchworth
Independent Bancshares Corporation ("Letchworth") approved a merger between the
two companies. Effective December 31, 1999, Letchworth was merged with and into
Tompkins, and each issued and outstanding share of Letchworth common stock was
converted into 0.685 shares of Tompkins common stock, plus cash in lieu of any
fractional shares. This merger resulted in the issuance of approximately 2.3
million additional shares of Tompkins common stock, bringing Tompkins' total
outstanding shares to approximately 7.1 million shares immediately following the
merger.

Letchworth was the holding company for The Bank of Castile, Castile, New York,
and The Mahopac National Bank, Mahopac, New York. The Bank of Castile will
continue to operate its community banking business as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Tompkins. The Bank of Castile conducts its operations through its main office
located in Castile, New York, and at its eleven branch offices in towns situated
in and around the areas commonly known as the Letchworth State Park area and the
Genesee Valley region of New York State. In 1999, The Bank of Castile opened its
first branch office in Monroe County. The Mahopac National Bank will continue to
operate its community banking business as a majority-owned subsidiary of
Tompkins. Immediately following the Letchworth merger, Tompkins owned 70 percent
of The Mahopac National Bank outstanding common stock. As noted below, Tompkins
subsequently purchased the additional remaining shares of The Mahopac National
Bank, such that at December 31, 2000, Tompkins effectively owned all of The
Mahopac National Bank outstanding common stock. The Mahopac National Bank is
located in Putnam County, New York, and operates four bank branches in that
county.

As a result of the merger, the Company incurred one-time merger-related expenses
of approximately $1.5 million ($1.3 million after tax impact), which were
recognized in the fourth quarter of 1999. The expenses related primarily to fees
for professional services and also include fees for data processing conversion
and certain employment-related costs.

The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. All historical financial information in this annual report
has been restated for the combination of the two companies.

The following table presents the results of operations for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, as reported by each of the companies, and on a
combined basis:

THE MAHOPAC NATIONAL BANK ACQUISITION

On June 4, 1999, Letchworth acquired 70.17 percent of the outstanding common
stock of The Mahopac National Bank in a cash transaction accounted for as a
purchase. Accordingly, operating results for The Mahopac National Bank are not
included for periods prior to June 4, 1999. Subsequent to June 4, 1999, net
income of The Mahopac National Bank is included in Tompkins' net income based
upon the percentage of Tompkins' ownership of The Mahopac National Bank . This
transaction resulted in a core deposit intangible of $3.5 million, which is
being amortized over a ten year period, and goodwill of $2.5 million, which is
being amortized over a 20 year period.

Effective September 1, 2000, and early in 2001, Tompkins completed the purchase
of the minority interest in The Mahopac National Bank, primarily in a
stock-for-stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. Prior to September 1,
2000, the approximately 30% interest in The Mahopac National Bank, which was not
owned by Tompkins, was shown as a minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries
on the consolidated statements of condition. Subsequent to September 1, 2000,
effectively all of the net income of The Mahopac National Bank is included in
Tompkins' consolidated net income. The approximately 30% acquisition of The
Mahopac National Bank resulted in a core deposit intangible of $1.9 million,
which is being amortized over a 10 year period, and goodwill of $2.5 million,
which is being amortized over a 20 year period.

The table below presents the pro forma combined results of operations of
Tompkins and The Mahopac National Bank, as if Mahopac had been 100% owned for
all periods presented.

acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to be
indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future.


AUSTIN, HARDIE, WISE AGENCY, INC. AND ERNEST TOWNSEND & SON, INC. ACQUISITIONS

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Austin, Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son,
Inc., in a cash and stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. The two
agencies have been merged with and into Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins. The agencies are expected to continue
operating in their current western New York locations, which include Attica,
Warsaw, Alden, LeRoy, Batavia and Caledonia. The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase transaction, with the $3.92 million excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less liabilities
assumed recorded as goodwill and amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen
years.

The purchase agreements for the insurance agencies include provisions for
additional consideration to be paid in the form of Company stock if certain
income targets are met by Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. in 2001 and 2002.
The contingent consideration includes 25,093 shares, which are payable if the
income targets are met, and an additional 8,333 shares which are payable if
income targets are exceeded by 5%.

at December 31, 2000, or 1999. At December 31, 2000, the Company serviced
mortgage loans for third parties aggregating $63,250,000, compared to
$59,145,000 at December 31, 1999.

The Company's loan/lease customers are located primarily in the upstate New York
communities served by its three subsidiary banks. The Trust Company operates
eleven full-service banking offices in the counties of Tompkins and Schuyler.
The Bank of Castile operates twelve branch offices in towns situated in and
around the areas commonly known as the Letchworth State Park area and the
Genesee Valley region of New York State. The Mahopac National Bank is located in
Putnam County, and operated four full-service branches in that county on
December 31, 2000. Other than general economic risks, management is not aware of
any material concentrations of credit risk to any industry or individual
borrower.

NOTE 10 OTHER BORROWINGS

The Company, through its subsidiary banks, had available lines-of-credit
agreements with banks permitting borrowings to a maximum of approximately
$29,500,000 at December 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999. No advances were
outstanding against those lines at December 31, 2000, or 1999.

All bank subsidiaries are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and as
such, may apply for advances secured by certain residential mortgage loans and
other assets, provided that certain standards for credit worthiness have been
met. At December 31, 2000, the Company, through its subsidiaries, had
established unused lines of credit with the FHLB of $116,915,000. At December
31, 2000, there were $67,117,000 in term advances from the FHLB, compared to
$41,912,000 at December 31, 1999.

FHLB term advances due in one year or less as of December 31, 2000, and 1999,
are detailed in the table below:

At December 31, 2000, there were advances due in more than one year of
$45,117,000, with a weighted average rate of 6.22 percent. Maturities of
advances included $11,000,000 maturing in 2002, $12,717,000 in 2004, $10,000,000
in 2005, $833,000 in 2006, and $10,567,000 in 2010. The Company's FHLB
borrowings at December 31, 2000, include $30,000,000 in fixed-rate callable
borrowings, which can be called by the FHLB on the first anniversary of the
borrowing, and quarterly thereafter.

Other borrowings included a $140,000 Treasury Tax and Loan Note account with the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York at December 31, 2000, and $100,000 at December
31, 1999.

NOTE 11 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees of the Trust Company and The Bank of Castile. The
benefits are based on years of service and a percentage of the employees'
average compensation. Prior to October 1, 2000, the Company maintained two
noncontributory defined benefit plans, Tompkins County Trust Company Retirement
Plan and Bank of Castile Employees Retirement Plan. Effective October 1, 2000,
the Company amended and merged these two plans. Assets of the Company's defined
benefit plan are invested in common and preferred stock, U. S. Government
securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds. The plan assets at
December 31, 2000, included 56,518 shares of Tompkins common stock.

The Trust Company also offers post-retirement medical coverage and life
insurance coverage to full-time employees who have worked ten years and attained
age 55. Medical coverage is contributory with contributions reviewed annually.
The Trust Company assumes the majority of the cost for these other benefits,
while retirees share some of the cost through co-insurance and deductibles.

The following table sets forth the changes in the plans' benefit obligation and
plan assets, and the plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the
Company's consolidated statements of condition at December 31, 2000 and 1999.
For purposes of this disclosure the defined-benefit pension plans which existed
at December 31, 1999 have been combined. At December 31, 1999, the Trust Company
had a prepaid benefit cost of $2,396,000 and The Bank of Castile had an accrued
benefit cost of $207,000.

</TABLE>
(1) The rate of compensation increase for The Bank of Castile was 5%.

The Trust Company currently offers medical coverage and life insurance coverage
to substantially all of its employees upon retirement. The weighted average
annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the
health care cost trend rate) is 10 percent beginning in 2001, and is assumed to
decrease gradually to 5.0 percent in 2010 and beyond. Increasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by 1 percent in each year would increase the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2000, by
$70,000 and the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for 2000 by $5,000.
Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by 1 percent each year would
decrease the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31,
2000, by $85,000 and decrease the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost by
$6,000.

</TABLE>

At December 31, 2000, the Trust Company and The Bank of Castile had an
Investment and Stock Ownership Plan (ISOP) and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP), which covered substantially all employees of those organizations. The
plans allowed for Company contributions in the form of cash and/or stock of the
Company. Contributions are determined by the board of directors as determined by
a performance-based formula, and were limited to a maximum amount as stipulated
in the respective plans.

In 1994, the Trust Company ISOP borrowed $1,650,000 from the Trust Company to
purchase 82,500 common shares of the Company. The debt had a term of ten years
and an interest rate of 9.5 percent. At December 31, 2000, the debt had been
repaid and no shares remained unallocated. The Trust Company recognized
compensation expense, including cash contributions, if any, for the ISOP of $0
in 2000, $392,000 in 1999, and $364,000 in 1998.

In 1997, The Bank of Castile ESOP borrowed $487,000 from The Bank of Castile to
purchase Company stock for the ESOP. The debt has a term of ten years and on
December 31, 2000, had an outstanding balance of $334,000 and an adjustable
interest rate of 10.5 percent. On December 31, 2000, 32,261 shares remained
unallocated with a fair market value of $903,000. The Bank of Castile recognized
compensation expense of $140,000 in 2000, $130,000 in 1999,and $132,000 in 1998.

The Bank of Castile and The Mahopac National Bank each had separate 401K plans
for which the Company provided certain matching contributions based upon the
amount of contributions made by plan participants. The expense associated with
these matching provisions was $160,000, $175,000, and $160,000 in 2000, 1999,
and 1998, respectively. As of January 1, 2001, the Company adopted new 401-K and
ESOP plans covering substantially all employees of the Company, and replacing
the ESOP, ISOP, and 401-K plans which were previously in place at the Company's
subsidiary banks.

Life insurance benefits are provided to certain officers of the Company. In
connection with these benefits, the Company purchased $4.4 million and $815,000
in corporate owned life insurance in 2000 and 1999, respectively, which is
carried at its cash surrender value as an other asset on the consolidated
statements of condition. Increases in the cash surrender value of the insurance
are reflected as other operating income, and the related mortality expense is
recognized as other employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of
income.

In addition to the Company's non-contributory defined benefit retirement and
pension plan, the Company provides supplemental employee retirement plans to
certain executives. The amount of liability recognized in the Company's
consolidated statements of condition for supplemental retirement plans was $1.3
million at December 31, 2000 and $915,000 at December 31, 1999. Benefits expense
associated with the supplemental retirement plans amounted to $415,000, $195,000
and $61,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

40
NOTE 12 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


In 1992, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "1992 Plan") which
authorized grants of options up to 254,100 shares of authorized but unissued
common stock. In 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998
Plan") which authorized grants of options up to 240,000 shares of authorized but
unissued common stock, plus to the extent authorized by the board of directors,
shares which are reacquired by the Company. Under the 1992 Plan and the 1998
Plan, the board of directors may grant stock options to officers, employees, and
certain other individuals. Stock options are granted with an exercise price
equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. Stock options may
not have a term in excess of ten years, and have vesting periods that range
between one and five years from the grant date. Outstanding options of
Letchworth were converted to options of Tompkins at the time of the merger,
effective December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2000, there were 20,279 shares
available for grant under the 1992 and 1998 Plans.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock based
compensation, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
stock options in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Had the
Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value of its stock
options at the grant date under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to pro forma amounts indicated in the
following table:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

(in thousands except per share data) 2000 1999 1998
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Net income:
As reported $17,512 $ 15,200 14,502
Pro forma 17,356 14,958 14,387

Basic earnings per share:

Pro forma 2.44 2.12 2.03

Diluted earnings per share:
As reported $ 2.45 $ 2.12 2.01
Pro forma 2.42 2.08 1.99
======================================================================================================================
</TABLE>


Pro forma compensation cost is amortized over the options' vesting period. Pro
forma net income reflects only options granted after January 1, 1995. Therefore,
the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS
123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts presented above because
compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not
considered.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2000,
1999, and 1998 was $10.96, $8.07, and $8.52, respectively. Fair values were
arrived at using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

2000 1999 1998
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Risk-free interest rate 5.91% 5.85% 5.31%

Volatility 52.00% 47.00% 27.60%
Expected life (years) 7.00 7.00 8.00
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>


In management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable measure of the fair value of its employee stock options because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options for which the Black-Scholes model was developed,
and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect fair
value estimate.

The primary reasons for the differences between income tax expense and the
amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to earnings
are as follows:

2000 1999 1998
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory federal income tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 34.0%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 were as
follows:

NOTE 13 INCOME TAXES (continued)

This analysis does not include the recorded deferred tax assets of $6,000, and
$3,359,000 related to the net unrealized depreciation in the available-for-sale
securities portfolio as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future
taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carry-back period. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In
assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled
reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable
income, and the projected future taxable income over the periods in which the
temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible.
Based on its assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance is
necessary at December 31, 2000 and 1999.


NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company leases land, buildings, and equipment under operating lease
arrangements extending to the year 2090. Rental expense included in operating
expenses amounted to $347,000 in 2000, $359,000 in 1999, and $343,000 in 1998.

The future minimum rental commitments as of December 31, 2000, for all operating
leases that cannot be canceled are as follows:

(in thousands)
2001 $ 238
2002 236
2003 215
2004 218
2005 184
Thereafter $3,552

Most leases include options to renew for periods ranging from five to 20 years.
Options to renew are not included in the above future minimum rental
commitments.

In August 2000, The Company renewed its software contract for the core banking
application used by the Bank of Castile and Tompkins Trust Company. The contract
expires in August 2005, with annual increases based upon asset growth of the
banks serviced under the contract. Data processing services for The Mahopac
National Bank our covered by a contract that expires in July 2005, with annual
increases based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index and increased account
volume. Required minimum annual payments under the above contracts are $371,782
in 2001.

The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financial needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments, stand-by
letters of credit, and unused portions of lines of credit. The contract, or
notional amount, of these instruments represents the Company's involvement in
particular classes of financial instruments. These instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized on the consolidated statements of condition.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company was committed to invest $3,850,000 in a
limited partnership formed to operate a Small Business Investment Company
(SBIC). As of December 31, 2000, the Company had made equity investments in the
SBIC of $3,292,000, which is accounted for under the equity method of
accounting, and is included in other assets on the Company's consolidated
statements of condition. On December 31, 2000, and 1999, the cost of the
Company's investment in the SBIC approximates fair value.

The Company's maximum potential obligations to extend credit for loan
commitments (unfunded loans, unused lines of credit, and stand-by letters of
credit) outstanding, and its remaining commitment to invest in a Small Business
Investment Company, on December 31 were as follows:

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)


Commitments to extend credit (including lines of credit) are agreements to lend
to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Stand-by letters of credit
are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Management uses the same credit policies in making commitments to
extend credit and stand-by letters of credit as are used for on-balance-sheet
lending decisions. Based upon management's evaluation of the counterparty, the
Company may require collateral to support commitments to extend credit and
stand-by letters of credit. The credit risk amounts are equal to the contractual
amounts, assuming the amounts are fully advanced and collateral or other
security is of no value. The Company does not anticipate losses as a result of
these transactions. These commitments also have off-balance-sheet interest-rate
risk, in that the interest rate at which these commitments were made may not be
at market rates on the date the commitments are fulfilled. Since some
commitments and stand-by letters of credit are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash flow requirements.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon the review with counsel,
the proceedings are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value
disclosures for financial instruments:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated
statements of condition for cash, noninterest bearing deposits, and Federal
funds sold approximate the fair value of those assets.

SECURITIES: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices. When
no secondary market exists to quote a market price the fair value is estimated
based upon comparable securities, or, the carrying amount of the security is
used as the estimated fair value. Note 3 discloses the fair values of
securities.

LOANS/LEASES: For variable rate loans/leases that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The
fair value of fixed rate loans/leases was estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, and interest rates currently offered for loans/leases with similar
terms and credit quality.

DEPOSITS: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g. interest and
noninterest checking) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand
at the reporting date (i.e., the carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of
variable-rate money market accounts and time deposits approximate their fair
values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are
estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies current
interest rates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE: The carrying amounts of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase with maturities of 90 days or
less approximate their fair values. Fair values of repurchase agreements with
maturities of more than 90 days are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.

OTHER BORROWINGS: The fair value of other borrowings was estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis, discounted at the Company's current incremental
borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The fair value of outstanding loan commitments,
including unused lines of credit, and stand-by letters of credit are based on
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties' credit standing, and
discounted cash flow analyses. The fair value of these instruments approximates
the value of the related fees and is not significant.

NOTE 17 REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by Federal bank regulatory agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action (PCA), banks must meet specific guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and
classifications of the Company and its subsidiary banks are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators concerning components, risk weightings, and
other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations)
to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets
(as defined). Management believes that the Company and its subsidiary banks meet
all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notifications from federal bank
regulatory agencies categorized the Trust Company, The Bank of Castile, and The
Mahopac National Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
PCA. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and its subsidiary banks
must maintain total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as
set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the capital category of the
Company or its subsidiary banks. Actual capital amounts and ratios of the
Company and its subsidiary banks are as follows:

retained net profits for the current year and two preceding years, unless
specific approval is received from the appropriate bank regulatory authority. At
December 31, 2000, the retained net profits of the Company's bank subsidiaries
available to pay dividends were $11,492,000.

Each bank subsidiary is required to maintain reserve balances by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. At December 31, 2000, and 1999, the reserve
requirements for the Company's banking subsidiaries totaled $10,406,000 and
$12,252,000, respectively.

REPORT OF KPMG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS, TOMPKINS TRUSTCO, INC.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of
Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated
financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Letchworth
Independent Bancshares Corporation and Tompkins Trustco, Inc., which has been
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, as described in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the consolidated statements
of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows of Letchworth
Independent Bancshares Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1998, which
statements reflect net interest income of $12.1 million. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose unqualified report dated January 22, 1999 has
been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Letchworth Independent Bancshares Corporation for 1998, is based
solely on the report of such other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

Management is responsible for preparation of the consolidated financial
statements and related financial information contained in all sections of this
annual report, including the determination of amounts that must necessarily be
based on judgments and estimates. It is the belief of management that the
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances, and
that the financial information appearing throughout this annual report is
consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

Management establishes and monitors the Company's system of internal accounting
controls to meet its responsibility for reliable financial statements. The
system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded,
and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization
and are properly recorded.

The Audit/Examining Committee of the board of directors, composed solely of
outside directors, meets periodically and privately with management, internal
auditors, and independent auditors, KPMG LLP, to review matters relating to the
quality of financial reporting, internal accounting control, and the nature,
extent, and results of audit efforts. The independent and internal auditors have
unlimited access to the Audit/Examining Committee to discuss all such matters.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by the Company's
independent auditors for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements.
