Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Business
General
TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo") is a one-bank holding company having its principal place of business at 320 State Street, Schenectady, New York 12305. TrustCo Bank Corp NYwas organized in 1981 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Trustco Bank New York, formerly known as The Schenectady Trust Company. Following the necessary regulatory approvals, TrustCo commenced business on July 1, 1982. Through policy and practice, TrustCo continues to emphasize that it is an equal opportunity employer. There are 452 full-time equivalent employees at year-end.
Bank Subsidiary
TrustCo's subsidiary, Trustco Bank New York ("Bank"), is a New York State chartered trust company, engaged in a general commercial banking business serving individuals, partnerships, corporations, municipalities and governments of New York. The largest part of such business consists of accepting deposits and making loans and investments. The Bank provides a wide range of both personal and business banking services. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve system and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent permitted by law. The Bank accounted for substantially all of TrustCo's 1993 consolidated net income and average assets.
The trust department of the Bank acts as executor of estates and trustee of personal trusts, gives estate planning and related advice, provides custodial services and acts as trustee of various types of employee benefit plans and corporate pension and profit sharing trusts. The aggregate market value of the assets under trust, custody or management was approximately $671 million as of December 31, 1993.
The daily operations of the Bank remains the responsibility of its Board of Directors and officers, subject to the overall supervision of TrustCo. TrustCo, as the parent corporation, derives most of its income from dividends paid to it by its subsidiary Bank. TrustCo's Bank subsidiary is included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
ORE Subsidiary
During 1993, TrustCo created ORE Subsidiary Corp., a New York corporation, to hold and manage certain foreclosed properties. The accounts of this new subsidiary are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
Competition
TrustCo's subsidiary Bank encounters keen competition from other commercial banks, including New York City-based holding companies which are some of the largest and most competitive institutions in the United States. In addition, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and other financial and related institutions compete for the banking, trust, investment and other financial services which Bank offers. On a regular basis, TrustCo has discussions with other financial institutions relative to potential merger or acquisition opportunities.
Supervision and Regulation
Banking is a highly regulated industry, with numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the organization and operation of banks and their affiliates. As a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), TrustCo is regulated and examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). The Act requires that TrustCo obtain prior Board approval for bank and non-bank acquisitions and restricts the business operations permitted to TrustCo. The Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the New York State Banking Department.
Virtually all aspects of TrustCo's and the Bank's business are subject to regulation and examination by the Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New York State Banking Department.
Most of TrustCo's revenues consist of cash dividends paid to TrustCo by its subsidiary Bank, payment of which is subject to various state and federal regulatory limitations. (Reference is made to Note 1(j) of TrustCo's consolidated financial statements for information concerning restrictions on TrustCo's ability to pay dividends.) In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board have established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by a bank holding company under their jurisdictions. Compliance with the standards set forth in such guidelines could also limit the amount of dividends which a bank or a bank holding company may pay.
The banking industry is also affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, including the Board, which exerts considerable influence over the cost and availability of funds obtained for lending and investing.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, companies which control banks and other financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress and in the New York state legislature and before various bank regulatory authorities. The likelihood of any major changes and the impact such changes might have on TrustCo are impossible to determine.
Foreign operations
Neither TrustCo nor the Bank engage in material operations in foreign countries or have any outstanding loans to foreign debtors.
Statistical Information Analysis
The "Financial Review" on pages 26-44 of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993, which contains a presentation and discussion of statistical data relating to TrustCo, are hereby incorporated by reference. The information with respect to such tables should not be construed to imply any conclusion on the part of the management of TrustCo that the results, causes or trends indicated therein will continue in the future. The nature and effects of governmental monetary policy, supervision and regulation, future legislation, inflation and other economic conditions and many other factors which affect interest rates, investments, loans, deposits and other aspects of TrustCo's operations are extremely complex and could make historical operations, earnings, assets and liabilities not indicative of what may occur in the future.
Item 2.



Item 2. Properties
TrustCo's executive offices are located at 320 State Street, Schenectady, New York, 12305. The Bank operates 43 offices, of which 20 are owned and 23 are leased from others. These properties, when considered in the aggregate, are not material to the operation of TrustCo.
Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The nature of TrustCo's business generates a certain amount of litigation against TrustCo and its subsidiary Bank involving matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of TrustCo, there are no proceedings pending to which TrustCo or either of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which its property is the subject which, if determined adversely to TrustCo or such subsidiary, would be material in relation to TrustCo's consolidated stockholders' equity and financial condition.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the TrustCo Bank Corp NY(the "Corporation") pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indeminifcation against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indeminification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

1985 TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY STOCK OPTION PLAN (as amended through December 31, 1992)
SECTION 1: PURPOSE
This Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") has been established by TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company") to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing to certain key employees an opportunity to acquire equity ownership in the Company and the incentive advantages inherent in that equity ownership.
SECTION 2: DEFINITIONS
When capitalized and used in this Plan, each of the following terms or phrases has the indicated meaning, unless a different meaning is clearly implied by the context:
"Adoption Date" means the date this plan is duly adopted by the Board.
"Board" means the Company's Board of Directors.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
"Committee" means the Committee to be appointed by the Board from time to time and to consist of three or more members of the Board who have not been eligible to receive options under the Plan at any time within a period of one year immediately preceding the date of their appointment to such Committee.
"Company" means TrustCo Bank Corp NY and its subsidiaries.
"Disability" means a Participant's termination of employment by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary by reason of his permanent and total disability, as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3).
"Eligible Employee" means any executive or other key managerial employee of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary who is a full-time, salaried employee of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary, provided he is so employed at the date any Stock Option is granted to him.
"Fair Market Value" means the current fair market value of any Stock subject to a Stock Option. During such time as the Stock is not listed on an established stock exchange, fair market value per share shall be the mean between the closing dealer "bid" and "ask" prices for the Stock as quoted by NASDAQ for the day of the grant and if "bid" and "ask" prices are quoted for the day of the grant, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such prices on the next preceding day on which such prices were quoted. If the Stock is listed on an established stock exchange or exchanges, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the highest closing price of the Stock on such stock exchange or exchanges on the day the option is granted or, if no sale of Stock has been made on any stock exchange on that day, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such price for the next preceding day on which a sale occurred. In the event that Stock is not traded on an established stock exchange, and no closing dealer "bid" and "ask" prices are available, then the purchase price shall be 100 percent of the fair market value of one share of Stock on the day the option is granted, as determined by the Committee in good faith. The purchase price shall be subject to adjustment only as provided in Section 9 of the Plan.
"Incentive Stock Option" means an option granted to a Participant under this Plan to purchase the Company's Stock, which is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and which satisfies the requirements of Code Section 422, as amended.
"Nonqualified Stock Option" means an option granted to a Participant under this Plan to purchase the Company's Stock and which is not an Incentive Stock Option.
"Option Agreement" means the written agreement executed between the Participant and the Company evidencing the award of Stock Options under this Plan, as more particularly described in Section 7.
"Participant" means any Eligible Employee who has been awarded any Stock Option(s) under this Plan and his heirs, legatees, or personal representatives who may succeed to his interests under any Option Agreement at his death.
"Participating Subsidiary" means a Subsidiary some or all of whose employees have been designated as Eligible Employees by the Board.
"Plan" means the TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan as embodied in this document including all amendments to this document made from time to time.
"Shareholder-Employee" means any Eligible Employee who at the time an Incentive Stock Option is to be granted to him under this Plan owns (within the meaning of Code Section 442(b)(6) and (c)(5)) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company's Stock or of its parent or subsidiary companies (if any).
"Stock" means shares of the Company's common stock.
"Stock Appreciation Right" means a right, granted to a Participant concurrently with the grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option, to receive a cash payment from the Company upon the partial or complete cancellation of that option by a Participant. Each option agreement may provide that the Participant may from time to time elect to cancel all or any portion of the option then subject to exercise, in which event the Company's obligation in respect of such option may be discharged by payment to the Participant of an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value at the time of cancellation of the shares subject to the option or the portion thereof so cancelled, over the aggregate purchase price for such shares as set forth in the option agreement. In the event of such a cancellation, the number of shares as to which such option was cancelled shall not become available for use under the Plan.
"Stock Option" or "Option" means a right granted under this Plan to purchase Company Stock, including a Nonqualified Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option.
"Subsidiary" means a corporation of which stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of its stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is owned in the aggregate by the Company directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries.
SECTION 3: PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is to be administered by the Committee except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Subject to all other Plan provisions, the Committee is expressly empowered to:
1. select the Eligible Employees who are to receive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan from time to time and grant those Options and Stock Appreciation Rights;
2. determine the time(s) at which Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are to be granted;
3. determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to a Stock Option granted to any Participant;
4. determine the option price and term of each Stock Option granted under this Plan (including whether it is to be an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option) and all other terms and conditions to be included in the Option Agreement relating to any Stock Options under this Plan;
5. determine the duration and purposes of leaves of absence which may be granted to a Participant without constituting a termination of employment or service for purposes of the Plan;
6. determine all matters of interpretation of the Plan and any Option Agreement, and the Committee's decision is to be binding and conclusive on all persons;
7. determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Company is to accept Stock previously acquired by a Participant as payment of the option price for Stock Options granted under this Plan;
8. prescribe, amend and rescind all rules and regulations relating to the Plan and its operations;
9. in the event of the Company's or a Participating Subsidiary's merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, accelerate the exercise date and expiration date for any unexercised Stock Options then outstanding; and
10. make all other determinations and decisions and take all further actions deemed necessary or advisable for the Plan's administration.
Notwithstanding any conflicting Plan provision, the Board reserves the right, by written resolution duly adopted by the Board, to terminate from time to time any and all powers delegated to the Committee by the express Plan provisions and, in that event, those Committee powers so terminated by the Board shall revert to and be fully exercisable by the Board to the same extent as they were exercisable by the Committee, provided that no termination of the Committee's powers shall be retroactively effective. Any termination of the Committee's powers under this Plan shall not be deemed a Plan amendment. No Committee or Board member may participate in the decision to award any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under this Plan to himself. Neither the Board nor the Committee may, without the Participant's consent, change the terms and conditions of any Option Agreement after its execution, except to the extent that the Agreement may, by its terms, be so amended.
SECTION 4: PLAN EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION
This Plan is effective as of the Adoption Date, subject, however, to the Plan's approval by the Company's shareholders either on or before the Adoption Date or within the 12-month period following the Adoption Date. If shareholder approval is not so obtained, all Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Option Agreements granted under this Plan shall automatically be null and void, ab initio. No Stock Option may be granted under this Plan at any date which is 10 years or more after the Adoption Date.
SECTION 5: AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATIONS
This plan may be amended, suspended, terminated or reinstated, in whole or in part, at any time by the Board; provided, however, that without the approval of the Company's stockholders, the Board may not:
1. except as provided in Section 9, increase the number of shares of Stock subject to Stock Options issued under this Plan;
2. extend the maximum period during which a Stock Option may be exercised;
3. extend the maximum period during which Incentive Stock Options may be granted under this Plan; or
4. change the class of Eligible Employees.
SECTION 6: SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
The total number of shares available for grants of Stock Options under this Plan is 60,000, subject to the adjustments under Section 9. If a Stock Option or a portion thereof expires or terminates for any reason without being exercised in full, the unpurchased shares covered by the Option are to be available for future Stock Option grants under this Agreement.
SECTION 7: GRANTS OF OPTIONS
Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted to any Eligible Employee, at the time(s) and upon such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. At the time of grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the Committee may, in its discretion, also grant to the Eligible Employee Stock Appreciation Rights for the total number of shares subject to that Option. The grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option and, if appropriate, Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Eligible Employee and the Company containing any terms and conditions specified by the Committee, but including the terms described in Section 8.
Incentive Stock Options may be granted to any Eligible Employee, at the time(s) and upon such terms and condition as may be selected by the Committee, subject, nevertheless to the following:
1. The aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Stock subject to Incentive Stock Options granted to any Eligible Employee during one calendar year (under this Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries providing "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Code Section 422A(b)) shall not exceed the sum of: (i) $100,000; and (ii) the amount of any "unused limit carryover" which may be taken into account for that calendar year with respect to that Eligible Employee under Code Section 422(A)(c)(4).
2. the grant shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Company and the Eligible Employee containing any terms and conditions specified by the Committee, except that those terms and conditions must conform with Section 8 and must be consistent with the requirements for an "incentive stock option" as described in Code Section 422A(b).
SECTION 8: TERMS OF OPTIONS AGREEMENT
All Option Agreements for Incentive Stock Options issued under this Plan must include terms that are consistent with the following:
1. The Participant shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares subject to the Stock Option, upon his exercise of that Option, at a price no less than 100% of the Stock's Fair Market Value at the date of the grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Shareholder-Employee, the option price is to be no less than 110% of that Fair Market Value.
2. At the option's exercise, the option price may be paid in cash or cash equivalent--that is, by certified check, bank draft or postal or express money orders made payable to the Company's order in U.S. dollars. Alternatively, in the Committee's sole discretion, the option price may be paid, in whole or in part, by the Participant's exchange of Company Stock previously acquired by him, based on that Stock's Fair Market Value at the date of exchange. However, no Company Stock may be accepted in payment of the option price upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, if that Stock was acquired by the Participant's previous exercise of an Incentive Stock Option unless that Stock has been held by the Participant for more than 2 years after the date that previous Option was granted and more than 1 year after the date that previous Option was exercised.
3. The option may not be exercisable after the earlier of the following dates:
(i) If the Participant is not a Shareholder-Employee at the date of grant or the Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, the date 10 years after the date of grant;
(ii) If the Participant is a Shareholder-Employee at the date of grant and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the date 5 years after the date of grant;
(iii) If the Participant's employment terminates for reasons other than his death, disability, or retirement, the date three months after the date his employment terminates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may further limit the period during which all or any portion of a Stock Option may be exercised and may accelerate the time at which an Option may be exercised.
4. Acceleration and the immediate right to exercise options in full will occur if any one or more of the following takes place:
(i) a contract providing for a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (except in the case where the Company is the surviving entity and the merger does not affect the stock interest of the stockholders of the Company) or a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company is executed;
(ii) a single entity or individual (including any related parties to such entity or individual) acquires 20% or more of the outstanding stock of the Company; or
(iii) a situation occurs in which, during any period of 12 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the nomination or election of each new director was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period.
5. The Stock Option(s) and any related Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only by the Participant during his lifetime and, after his death, only by his heirs, legatees or personal representatives who succeed to his interest under the Option Agreement. Neither the Option Agreement, the Stock Options nor the Stock Appreciation Rights issued under this Plan shall be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
6. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised while there is outstanding (within the meaning of Code Section 422(c)(7)) any "incentive stock option" (within the meaning of Code Section 422A(b)) to purchase stock of the Company or any Subsidiary which was granted to the Participant prior to the grant of the Option sought to be exercised. The provisions of this Item 6 shall apply only to Incentive Stock Options granted prior to January 1, 1987.
7. In the case of Nonqualified Stock Options, the Option may be exercised while there is outstanding another Stock Option to purchase Stock of the Company or a Subsidiary which was granted to the Participant prior to the grant of the Option sought to be exercised.
8. The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by such individual during any calendar year (under all such plans of the individual's employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporation) shall not exceed $100,000. The provisions of this Item 8 shall apply to Incentive Stock Options granted after December 31, 1986.
9. The acceleration provisions of Section 8, Item 4 of the Plan shall override restrictions contained in Section 8, Item 8.
10. As to each Option granted a Participant since November 19, 1985, if the Participant's employment terminates by his death, disability or retirement, the exercise of each such Option shall accelerate and become exercisable in full upon such termination, and shall remain exercisable throughout the period permitted for exercise.
SECTION 9: RECAPITALIZATION
The number of shares of Stock subject to this Plan, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Option (and any corresponding Stock Appreciation Rights), and the price per share in each Option, are to be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Company Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Company's common stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of those shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.
Subject to any required action by the Stockholders if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, each outstanding Stock Option (and any corresponding Stock Appreciation Rights) shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of stock subject to that Option would have been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a proposed sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving Corporation, shall cause each outstanding Option (and any corresponding Stock Appreciation Rights) to terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Board; provided that no less than 30 days written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Optionee, and each Optionee shall have the right, during the period of 30 days preceding such termination, to exercise his option as to all or any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such option would not otherwise be exercisable.
The foregoing adjustments shall be made by the Committee. Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in options pursuant to this Section 9 may be settled as the Committee or the Board (as the case may be) shall determine.
SECTION 10: GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS
No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares of Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The Company shall have the right to rely on the opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence Stock for which an Option is exercised may bear such legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.
SECTION 11: INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE
In addition to such other rights of indemnification that they may have as officers or directors, the Committee members shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the Plan's administration and the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reasons of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted thereunder. The Committee members are also to be indemnified against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided that settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member is liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his/her duties; provided that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.
SECTION 12: MISCELLANEOUS
The adoption of this Plan, its operation, or any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall not confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or in any way affect any right and power of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without assigning a reason thereof.
This Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.
The Plan shall be administered in the State of New York and the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of that State.

[TEXT] TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
SECTION 1: PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") has been established by TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company") to advance the interest of stockholders and the Company by encouraging Directors to acquire a larger ownership in the Company.

If the Stock is listed on an established stock exchange or exchanges, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the highest closing price of the Stock on such stock exchange or exchanges on the day the option is granted or, if no sale of Stock has been made on any stock exchange on that day, the fair market value shall be determined by reference to such price for the next preceding day on which a sale occurred. In the event that Stock is not traded on an established stock exchange, and no closing dealer "bid" and "ask" prices are available, then the purchase price shall be 100 percent of the fair market value of one share of Stock on the day the option is granted, as determined by the Committee in good faith.

SECTION 3: PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by a committee composed of three or more Directors who are appointed by the Board as the Board's Compensation Committee and who may be members of the committee appointed to administer the TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan.

A majority of the authorized number of members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Acts reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee then serving shall be the valid acts of the Committee. A member of the Committee shall be eligible to be granted Options under this Plan while a member of the Committee.

Any determination, decision or action of the Committee provided for in the Plan may be made or taken by action of the Board if it so determines, with the same force and effect as if such determination, decision or action had been made or taken by the Committee. No member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any determination, decision or action made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan. The fact that a member of the Board shall at the time be, or shall theretofore have been or thereafter may be, a person who has received or is eligible to receive an Option shall not disqualify him or her from taking part in and voting at any time as a member of the Board in favor of or against any amendment or repeal of the Plan.
SECTION 4: PLAN EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION
This Plan is effective as of the Adoption Date, subject, however, to the Plan's approval by the Company's shareholders either on or before the Adoption Date of within the 12 month period following the Adoption Date. If shareholder approval is not so obtained, all Options granted under this Plan shall automatically be null and void, ab initio. No Option may be granted under this Plan at any date which is 10 years or more after the Adoption Date.
SECTION 5: AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

Further, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Option theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the Optionee or any person validly claiming under or through the Optionee.
SECTION 6: STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
(a) The stock to be issued upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock, which shall be made available, at the discretion of the Board, either from authorized but unissued Stock or from Stock acquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. The aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued under or subject to Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 50,000 shares. The limitation established by the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.
(b) In the event that any outstanding Option or portion thereof under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option may again be made subject to Option under the Plan.
SECTION 7: GRANT OF OPTIONS
The Committee may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan, grant Options to Directors to purchase shares of Stock allotted in accordance with Section 6. All Options granted under this Plan shall be "Nonqualified Stock Options" for purposes of the Code.
SECTION 8: OPTION PRICE
The purchase price per share of each share of Stock which is subject to an Option shall be 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the Grant Date.
SECTION 9: ELIGIBILITY OF OPTIONEES
(a) Options on 1,000 shares of Stock shall be granted annually at a meeting of the Board of Directors to be held each August, commencing with August, 1993, to those persons who are then Directors of the Company, except that if Counsel to the Company determines in his sole discretion that on such date the Company is in possession of material non-public information concerning its affairs, such grant shall be delayed until the third day on which trading occurs following the public dissemination of such information or the date of an event which renders such information immaterial.
(b) Subject to the terms of the Plan, and subject to review by the Board, the Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction (i) to determine the dates on which, or the time periods during which, the Option may be exercised, (ii) to determine the purchase price of the shares subject to each Option in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan and (iii) to prescribe the form, which shall be consistent with the Plan, of the instrument evidencing any Options granted under the Plan.
(c) Neither anything contained in the Plan or in any document under the Plan nor the grant of any Option under the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue as a Director of the Company or limit in any respect the right of the Company shareholders to terminate the Optionee's directorship at any time and for any reason.
SECTION 10: NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
No Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by such Optionee.
SECTION 11: TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
(a) Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate on the date which is 10 years after the Grant Date. The Committee at its discretion may provide further limitations on the exercisability of Options granted under the Plan. An Option may be exercised only during the continuance of the Optionee's service as a Director, except as provided in Sections 12 and 13 of the Plan.
(b) A person electing to exercise an Option shall give written notice to the Company of such election and of the number of shares he or she has elected to purchase, in such forms as the Committee shall have prescribed or approved, and shall at the time of exercise tender the full purchase price of the shares he or she has elected to purchase. The purchase price shall be paid in full in cash upon the exercise of the Option; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, with the approval of the Committee at or prior to exercise, an Optionee may exercise his or her Option by tendering to the Company shares of Stock owned by him or her and having a fair market value equal to the cash exercise price applicable to his or her Option, with the then fair market value of such stock to be determined in the same manner as provided in Section 8 of the Plan with respect to the determination of the fair market value of Stock on the date an Option is granted.
(c) An Optionee or a transferee of an Option shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his or her Option until the date the stock certificate is issued evidencing ownership of the shares. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary), whether in cash, securities or other property, or distributions or other rights, for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 15 hereof.
SECTION 12: TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP
If an Optionee's status as a Director ceases for any reason, any Option granted to him or her under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights under the Option shall cease, except:
(a) In the case of a Stock Option held by an Optionee that is not subject to Total and Permanent Disability, such Stock Option shall terminate 18 months after the termination of the Optionee's status as Director.
(b) In the case of a Stock Option held by an Optionee who is subject to Total and Permanent Disability, such Stock Option shall terminate upon its expiration date.
(c) In the case of the Optionee's death while serving as a director, such Stock Option shall terminate eighteen months after the date of death.
(d) The foregoing notwithstanding, no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date.
SECTION 13: DEATH OF AN OPTIONEE
If an Optionee dies after ceasing to serve as a Director but within the period during which he or she could have exercised the Option under Section 12 of the Plan, then the Option may be exercised by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate, or by any person or persons who have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, within a period prescribed by the Committee after the Optionee's death, except that no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date.
SECTION 14: MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS
Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and grant new Options in substitution therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may grant to an Optionee, if he or she is otherwise eligible and consents thereto, a new or modified Option in lieu of an outstanding Option for a number of shares, at an exercise price and for a term which are greater or lesser than under the earlier Option, or may do so by cancellation and regrant, amendment, substitution or otherwise, subject only to the general limitations and conditions of the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.
SECTION 15: CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
(a) In the event that the shares of the Company, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or otherwise) or if the number of such shares of stock shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then, subject to the provisions of Subsection (c) below, there shall be substituted for or added to each share of stock of the Company which was theretofore appropriated, or which thereafter may become subject to an Option under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding share of the stock of the Company shall be so changed or for which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such share shall be entitled, as the case may be. Outstanding Options shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms, as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events.
(b) If there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of the stock of the Company, or of any stock or other securities into which such stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Board or the Committee (as the case may be), shall in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any Option which was theretofore granted or which may thereafter be granted under the Plan, then such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
(c) A dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a merger or a consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate, except to the extent that another corporation may and does in the same transaction assume and continue the Option or substitute its own Options. In either event, the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall have the right to accelerate the time within which the Option may be exercised.
(d) Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section 15 may be settled as the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall determine.
(e) To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each holder of an Option which shall have been so adjusted.
(f) The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge, to consolidate, to dissolve, to liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 16: LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES
(a) No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part if at any time the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock subject to such Option on any securities exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue of shares thereunder, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.
(b) If a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan is not in effect at the time of exercise, as a condition of the issuance of the shares the person exercising such Option shall give the Committee a written statement, satisfactory in form and substance to the Committee, that he or she is acquiring the shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to their distribution. The Company may place upon any stock certificate for shares issuable upon exercise of such Option the following legend or such other legend as the Committee may prescribe to prevent disposition of the shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable law:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THEM UNDER THE ACT OR A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
SECTION 17: MISCELLANEOUS
The Plan shall be administered in the State of New York and the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of that State.

President's Message
I am happy to report that 1993 was another record year at TrustCo. It is nice to be able to report our continuing progress during this period when apparently the banking industry has attained significant recovery from the difficulties of the past three or four years. Throughout this period, TrustCo has managed to avoid the pitfalls many others have experienced by sticking to the basics of the business and avoiding the current or in vogue products and precepts. We expect to continue in this vein, and are grateful for the enthusiasm of our staff and Boards in making this success a reality.
Shareholder values continue to progress with net income for 1993 at $20.3 million, up a significant 16.1% over 1992. As planned, TrustCo's most important ratio, Return on Average Shareholders' Equity, was 16.2% for 1993, up from 15.1% in 1992. It is our commitment to ensure Return on Average Equity measures up favorably in any peer group, and we are comfortable that it does. TrustCo's five year average Return on Equity was 17.1%, and we have plans to methodically increase ROE to the 18% level for 1995.
Barton Andreoli, President of Towne Paving Inc., joined the Boards of Trustco Bank New York and TrustCo Bank Corp NY during 1993; and Bernard King, Chairman of King Road Materials Inc., retired from both Boards during 1993. We thank Bernie for his many contributions and wish him well in retirement. I would like to thank all our Board members for their continued support and guidance through the year.
We note with sorrow the passing of David Hume, Honorary Director, who served the Boards with distinction for many years.
Senior staff changes included William Milton and James McLoughlin being promoted to Administrative Vice Presidents; Madeline Busch, Donald Csaposs, Ann Noble, Matthew Waschull, and George Wickswat were appointed Vice Presidents in their respective areas of responsibility. We closed the former Home & City main office on State Street, Albany and successfully merged the account base into Trustco's State Street office. We consider the consolidation complete, leaving us with 43 branch offices, with the expectation of at least one new office during the current year. We continue with our upgrading, targeting each branch for major renovation on an approximate 7 year cycle.
Our search for appropriately priced acquisitions in our market area continues, though we are not engaged in any significant acquisition conversations at this time.
We continue to work with some of the problem loans we acquired and want to report continuing progress in the legal actions. Though the litigation is taking longer than originally anticipated, we want shareholders to know we reserved sufficiently for these loans to ensure there will be no negative impact on TrustCo's future financial results as they are brought to conclusion.
We completed a two for one stock split during the fourth quarter, effectively increasing dividend payments by 29.4% over last year. Our quarterly cash dividends have increased at a 25.9% compound annual rate over the last five years, a major accomplishment in the current banking climate.
Trustco's Affordable Housing Program, designed to assist with homeownership, was expanded to the other markets that we serve after our initial success in Schenectady. This program is a model for community reinvestment and one of the most effective in our state.
It has been suggested by reporters on occasion that TrustCo is a boring company to follow because the consistently good results don't make stimulating copy. All in all, 1993 was another "boring" year here at TrustCo with increases in all important areas and continuing benefits to the owners, employees, and the community.
Our expectation is that 1994 will also be "boring." Our plans call for a repeat of 1993 income and growth successes, and newly added branches are contributing solidly to loan and deposit growth. The emphasis will continue on the Home Equity Loan and Home Equity Credit Line products on the lending side and the NOW account on the deposit side. Our Trust Department currently manages assets in excess of $600 million, and we look forward to increased penetration in the former Home & City branch territories.
With the difficult economy, community needs have increased and Trustco has responded accordingly. As mentioned previously, we continue to expand our Affordable Housing Program. We have been able to provide increased employee and management participation in charitable and community organizations, as well as increase our corporate charitable donations in the Capital District area.
The interesting times of the '90s in banking have been very challenging at TrustCo. We believe we have met the challenge successfully and will be able to continue this success into the future. We have a strong marketplace with the right products and a team of super employees to bring about the kind of results in the future that have brought us success in the past. With our focus, enthusiasm, and commitment, we will be able to compete successfully in the banking environment of the future.
Sincerely,
Robert A. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer
P.S. December 31, 1993 marked the completion of my first decade as CEO of the Bank and Holding Company. I thought it appropriate to report the results of that stewardship. I thank the Company's Board and all of our employees for making us look so good.
Challenge and Progress 1983-1993
1983-1993--A period characterized by turbulence in the banking industry. First the go-go times, followed quickly by the savings and loan debacle which decimated the industry, immediately followed by the commercial banking fiasco. Taken in total, this period was a very serious financial blow to taxpayers and to the shareholders of many banking institutions.
Through it all, TrustCo has served its shareholders well with exemplary growth in the value of their investments, emerging as a leader in the financial services marketplace. The past decade has been a proving ground for our management team to significantly enhance the bank's profitability and productivity in behalf of shareholders.
TrustCo's success is founded on its accountability and vitality which are well reflected in the following statistics:

Since 1983, deposits have risen 534 percent. Average assets during this same period were boosted 499 percent to $1.947 billion. Our 43 branches--an increase of 207 percent--are staffed by 458 employees working in their own home towns, promoting the Bank's strong commitment and presence as a respected local employer. Assets per employee are up by 258 percent to $4.3 million, a tribute to our diligence in creating efficiency in operations.
The net income of TrustCo was $3.36 million in 1983. It has increased 505 percent, ending 1993 at $20.33 million. During the past ten years, Return on Equity rose from 12.3 percent to 18+ percent, then diminished to 16.2 percent, and is on the way back to a planned 18 percent. This all important measure will stand up favorably against any index for any period we have been able to find. Last August, TrustCo increased its common stock dividend to shareholders for the seventeenth consecutive year. The price per share of TrustCo stock has climbed 704 percent. To put these achievements into perspective, consider that 100 shares of common stock purchased at the beginning of 1983 would be worth 1,611 shares of common stock today.
It is important to note that TrustCo's achievements have been publicly recognized by external resources such as Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street in 1992 for its remarkable dividend record; selected in the same year by Financial World as one of the top 200 growth companies in the United States; cited on the 1993 Honor Roll for sustained superior performance over 10 years by the respected investment banking firm of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.--one of only ten banks in the nation to earn this recognition. TrustCo continues to set and break its own records for financial performance and favorable trends quarter after quarter, year after year.
The lifeblood of the bank is its capacity to adapt to the changing economy and the needs of its constituencies: shareholders, customers, and community. TrustCo has at its core a versatile management team whose diversity allows it to identify a range of initiatives and translate them into positive results. Conservative, proactive planning, consistent pursuit of the Capital Region retail and commercial customer markets, and exceeding the expectations of our shareholders are the guiding principles which have contributed to our success.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accounting and financial reporting policies of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (Company) and Trustco Bank New York (Bank) conform to general practices within the banking industry and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A description of the more significant policies follows.
During 1993, the Company created a new subsidiary to hold and manage certain foreclosed properties. The enclosed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this new subsidiary.
(b) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
(c) Investment Securities and Securities Held for Sale
Investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to first call or maturity date. Securities held for sale are held at the lower of amortized cost or market. Gains and losses on dispositions of these securities are based on the adjusted cost of the specific security sold.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as investment securities and carried at amortized historical cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of cost or market value. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates and other factors related to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. Assets held in trading accounts are carried at market value.
(d) Loans
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. Related loan fees are generally amortized into income over the applicable loan or service period. Interest on discounted loans is accrued based upon methods which approximate the interest method.
Loan income is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. When in the opinion of management the collection of principal or interest is in doubt, the loan is categorized as non-accrual. Thereafter, no interest is taken into income until the borrower demonstrates the ability to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
(e) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
An allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to provide for potential loan losses based on analysis of the credit risk of the loan portfolio including a review of past loan experience, current economic conditions and the underlying collateral value. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against income and reduced by net charge-offs.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgements of information available to them at the time of their examination.
(f) Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on either the straight-line or accelerated methods over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Occupancy expense comprises all expenses, including maintenance and repair, related to the operation of Bank premises, net of rental income. Gains or losses attributed to the retirement or sale of assets are credited or charged to operations in the year realized.
(g) Real Estate Owned
Included in other assets are assets received from foreclosures and in-substance foreclosures. A loan is considered an in-substance foreclosure when little or no equity is present in the underlying collateral, considering the current fair value of the collateral; proceeds for repayment of the loan can be expected to come only from the operation or sale of the collateral; control of the collateral is effectively abandoned, or because of the current financial condition it is doubtful that equity will be rebuilt or the loan repaid in the foreseeable future.
Foreclosed assets, including in-substance foreclosures, held for sale are recorded on an individual basis at the lower of (1) fair value minus estimated costs to sell or (2) "cost" (defined as the fair value at initial foreclosure). When a property is acquired or identified as in-substance foreclosure, the excess of the loan balance over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write downs are included in other noninterest expense. At December 31, 1993, the value of real estate owned was $19.2 million. The value of real estate owned at December 31, 1992 was $26.6 million.
(h) Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and has chosen not to restate prior year financial statements. Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. Under Statement 109, 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.
(i) Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off- balance sheet risk such as commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and letters of credit. It is the Company's policy to record such instruments when funded.
In December 1991, the FASB issued Statement No. 107 which requires additional disclosure about fair value of financial instruments. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement No. 107 and has provided the required disclosures in Note 15.
(j) Dividend Restrictions
Banking regulations restrict the amount of cash dividends which may be paid during a year without the written consent of the appropriate bank regulatory agency. Based on these restrictions, the Company could pay $32.4 million plus one hundred percent of 1994 net profits.
(k) Amortization of Goodwill
The excess of the fair value of consideration paid over net assets acquired (goodwill) was fully amortized as of December 31, 1992.
(l) Reclassification of Prior Year Statements
It is the Company's policy to reclassify prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
(m) Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the five years before retirement. The cost of this program is being funded currently.
The Company sponsors a defined benefit health care plan for substantially all retirees and employees. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," which establishes a new accounting principle for the cost of retiree health care and other postretirement benefits (also see note 12). Prior to 1993, the Company recognized these benefits on the pay-as-you-go method (i.e., cash basis). The cumulative effect of the change in method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions is reported in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.
(2) Acquisition of Home & City Savings Bank
On September 30, 1991, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Home & City Savings Bank of Albany, New York in a purchase business combination. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction was approximately $72 million consisting of cash and 1,441,050 shares of TrustCo common stock. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) of approximately $2.5 million has been fully amortized.
The results of operations of Home & City are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition.
Assuming the acquisition had taken place January 1, 1991 a summary of the Company's unaudited consolidated results of operations on a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended December 31, 1991 would have been as follows:
The pro forma results are not necessarily representative of the actual results that would have occurred in the period presented, or what may be obtained in the future.
(3) Balances at Other Banks
Trustco Bank New York maintains deposit accounts with several other commercial banks as compensation for services provided to the Bank in the normal course of business. These balances are not legally restricted as to withdrawal but result from informal agreements and are in lieu of fee assessments. As of December 31, 1993, a total of $79,000 was on deposit at other banks. This balance was $195,000 as of December 31, 1992. In addition, the Bank maintains a reserve balance at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as required by regulation by the Federal Reserve System. This balance, legally restricted as to withdrawal, totaled $15,907,000 as of December 31, 1993, and $13,455,000 as of December 31, 1992. For the years ending December 31, 1993 and 1992 these balances averaged $15,517,000 and $14,961,000, respectively.
(4) Securities Held for Sale
The book and market values of Securities Held for Sale at December 3l, 1993 and 1992 follows:
The gross unrealized gains and losses in Securities Held for Sale at December 31, 1993 and 1992 follow:
The gross unrealized gains and losses in Investment Securities at December 31, 1993 and 1992 follow:
The anticipated maturity schedule of book and market values of Investment Securities at December 31, 1993 follows:
Proceeds from sales of debt instruments included in investment securities during 1993, 1992, and 1991 were approximately $0, $107,639,000, and $37,178,000 respectively. All of the 1993 sales of debt securities were made from those securities designated as Held for Sale (See note 4). During 1993, the Company realized proceeds of approximately $1,877,000 from the sale of its portfolio of equity securities. Proceeds from this portfolio sale were used to acquire a small portfolio of equity securities. Management has designated these securities as trading assets and holds them at market value. The market value of trading securities at December 31, 1993 was $2,106,000. There were no trading assets as of December 31, 1992.
The gross realized gains on sales of debt instruments in 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $0, $3,346,000, and $492,000 respectively. Gross realized gains on sales of equity instruments in 1993 were approximately $229,000.
Gross realized losses on the sales and calls of debt instruments for 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $0, $407,000, and $26,000 respectively. Gross realized losses on sales of equity instruments in 1993 were approximately $21,000.
The book value of securities pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law amounted to $85,634,000 and $121,075,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. This Statement addresses the accounting for equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Those investments are to be classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either "held-to-maturity" or "trading securities" are classified as "available-for-sale securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings an reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Management believes, at this time, that the Statement will have no material impact on the financial statements.
(6) Loans and Discounts
A summary of outstanding Loans and Discounts at December 3l, 1993 and 1992 follows:
Real estate construction loans include $2,870,000 in residential loans and $11,302,000 in commercial loans at December 31, 1993 and $1,750,000 in residential loans and $17,252,000 in commercial loans at December 31, 1992.
Information with regard to non-accrual loans follows:
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing at year end were $1,853,000, $6,438,000, and $3,340,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991 respectively. There were no restructured loans at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.
There were no unused commitments on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1993 or 1992.
The Bank has pledged certain of its GNMA mortgage pools as collateral for standby letters of credit which have been issued. The book value of pledged mortgages was $16,611,000 and $25,354,000 at December 31, 1993, and 1992 respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has loan, deposit and other transactions with executive officers and directors and organizations with whom such persons are associated. Such transactions are on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral as to loans, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. The aggregate amount of loans to executive officers, directors and their immediate families, and to corporations where executive officers and directors beneficially own a 10% or greater equity interest was $11,163,000 and $14,320,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1993, loan advances involving these individuals amounted to $2,080,000 while repayments totaled $5,237,000.
On May 31, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," (SFAS No. 114). SFAS No. 114, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, prescribes recognition criteria for loan impairment and measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans whose terms are modified in troubled-debt restructurings. Although the Company has not yet performed a detailed analysis of the effects of the implementation of SFAS No. 114, the Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
(7) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses A summary of changes in the allowance for possible loan losses for the years ending December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 follows:
(8) Bank Premises and Equipment
A summary of bank premises and equipment at December 31, 1993 and 1992 follows:
Depreciation and amortization approximated $2,373,000 for the year 1993, $2,245,000 for 1992, and $1,193,000 for 1991. Occupancy expense of Bank premises included rental expense of $1,388,000, $1,430,000, and $846,000 for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
(9) Short-term Debt
Short-term debt consisting primarily of Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase with maturities of generally less than ninety days was as follows for the years ending December 31, 1993 and 1992:
(10) Long-term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following:
As of December 31, 1993, the Company's long-term debt was comprised of $2.75 million borrowed against a $10 million revolving credit facility, at the prime rate (6.0%). The interest rate increases to one quarter of one percent above the prime rate for the period July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1998. Beginning October 1, 1995 and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, one twelfth of the outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 1995 will be repaid. The entire unpaid balance of principal and interest will be due July 1, 1998.
(11) Income Taxes
A summary of Income Tax expense (benefit) included in the consolidated statements of income follows:
Prior to 1993, the Company accounted for income taxes under APB 11. Under APB 11, deferred tax expense (benefit) resulted from timing differences in the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes.
The sources of these differences and the tax effect for each year follow:
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109. The effect of adoption was not material to the financial statements.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1993 are presented below.
The valuation allowance as established by management takes into consideration the historical level of taxable income in the prior years as well as the time period that the items giving rise to the deferred tax assets turn around.
The effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal income tax rate. The reasons for these differences are as follows:
(12) Employee Benefits
The Company maintains a trusteed non-contributory pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The benefits are based on the sum of (a) a benefit equal to a prior service benefit plus the average of the employees' highest five consecutive years compensation in the ten years preceding retirement multiplied by a percentage of service after a specified date plus (b) a benefit based upon career average compensation. The amounts contributed to the plan are determined annually on the basis of (a) the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes or (b) the amount certified by a consulting actuary as necessary to avoid an accumulated funding deficiency as defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Assets of the funds are primarily invested in common stock and fixed income common funds administered by the Bank.
The following table sets forth the plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of condition at December 31, 1993 and 1992:
The discount rates used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 6.75 percent in 1993 and 7.5 percent in 1992 and 1991. The rate of increase in future compensation levels used in the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations was 5.0 percent in 1993 and 6.0 percent in 1992 and 1991. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 6.5 percent in 1993, 7.0 percent in 1992 and 8.5 percent in 1991.
The Bank also has unfunded supplementary pension plans under which additional retirement benefits are accrued for eligible senior and executive officers.
The Bank also provides a profit-sharing plan for substantially all employees. Contributions to the plan, which are based on management discretion as defined in the plan, amounted to $1,302,000 in 1993, $1,294,000 in 1992, and $966,000 in 1991.
An executive incentive plan for executive officers and other designated senior officers became effective January 1, 1983. Contributions to the plan are based on the Bank's performance and estimated distributions to participants are accrued during the year and generally paid in the following year.
Under the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan, 1,264,230 shares are reserved for options and stock appreciation rights (SAR's). As of December 31, 1993, 887,564 options and 17,704 SAR's remain issued and outstanding. Of these, 406,465 options and 17,704 SAR's are vested with exercise prices ranging from $5.27 to $20.19. Under the plan, 107,982 shares remain available to grant at December 31, 1993.
During 1993, 21,919 options were exercised and no options cancelled. Additionally, 280,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $20.19.
Under the terms of the Directors Stock Option Plan, 100,000 shares are reserved for options. As of December 31, 1993, 20,000 vested options remain issued and outstanding, with an exercise price of $21.38. Under the Plan, 78,000 shares remain available to grant at December 31, 1993. During 1993, 22,000 options were granted and 2,000 options were exercised.
In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Statement 106 requires a calculation of the present value of expected benefits to be paid to employees after their retirement and an allocation of those benefits to the periods that employees render service to earn the benefits. The Company permits retirees under age 65 to participate in the Company's medical plan by paying the same premium as the active employees. At age 65, Trustco Bank provides a Medicare Supplemental Program to retirees. The retirees contribute at the same percentage as active employees. Contributions increase annually or as the premium increases.
Since these benefits are currently being provided, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106 effective January 1, 1993, and has reported the cumulative effect of that change in the December 31, 1993 Consolidated Statement of Income.
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1993:
Expense for 1993 related to the transition obligation was $5.3 million, with an after-tax cost of $3.3 million. Periodic benefit cost amounts to $467 thousand for the year. The Company funded the plan in full through the use of a benefit trust during the first quarter of 1993. As a result, periodic benefit costs in future years are expected to decrease.
The trust holding the plan assets is subject to federal income taxes at a 35.0 percent tax rate at December 31, 1993. The expected long term rate of return on plan assets, after estimated income taxes was 3.3 percent for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Net period postretirement benefit cost for 1993 includes the following components:
For measurement purposes, a 16 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) was assumed for 1993; the rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.75 percent by the year 2002 and remain at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993, by approximately $1.1 million, and the aggregate of the service and the interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1993, by approximately $236 thousand. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75 percent at December 31, 1993.
(13) Lease Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
(a) Leases
The Bank leases certain banking premises. Accounting for these leases is under the "operating method," with minimum rental commitments in the amounts presented below. The majority of these leases contain options to renew.
(b) Litigation
Existing litigation arising in the normal course of business is not expected to result in any material loss to the Company.
(14) Off-Balance-Sheet Financing and Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Bank is a party to certain financial instruments with off- balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the statements of condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Contract amounts of financial instruments that represent credit risk as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 at fixed and variable interest rates are as follows:
Commitments to extend 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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, required by the Bank upon the extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Mortgage and construction loan commitments are secured by a first lien on real estate. Collateral on extensions of credit for commercial loans varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial property.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Bank grants commercial, installment and residential loans to customers throughout the Capital District of New York State. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate sector as well as the overall strength of the economy.
(15) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), which requires that the Bank disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value of financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. SFAS No. 107 uses the same definition for a financial instrument as the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments With Concentrations of Credit Risk" (SFAS No. 105). SFAS No. 105 defines a financial instrument as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that imposes on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with a second entity and conveys to that second entity a contractual right to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgements regarding future expected net cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include the deferred tax assets and liabilities and property, plant, and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates of fair value under SFAS No. 107.
In addition there are significant intangible assets that SFAS 107 does not recognize, such as the value of "core deposits," the Bank's branch network and other items generally referred to as "goodwill."
Investments and Securities Held for Sale
The carrying amounts for short-term investments approximate fair value because they mature in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns. The fair value of longer-term investments, except certain state and municipal securities, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newpapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued. See footnotes 4 and 5 for detail disclosure of investment securities and securities held for sale.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, installment and real estate. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.
The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the contractual term of the loans to maturity.
Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals and discounting of cash flows. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.
The following table presents information for loans.
The fair value estimate for credit card loans is based on the value of existing loans at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992. This estimate does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing card holders over the remaining life of the portfolio.
Deposit Liabilities
Under SFAS 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts, money market and checking accounts, is estimated to be the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 1993. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.
Long Term Debt
The fair value of the Company's long term debt, which consists of a revolving credit facility at the prime interest rate, is estimated to be book value at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992.
Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable and short term debt are estimated to be book value at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992.
Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial Guarantees Written
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of financial guarantees written and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements, or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties. Fees such as these are not a major part of the Bank's business. Therefore, based upon the above facts, book value equals fair value and the amounts are not significant.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of TrustCo Bank Corp NY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, 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, 1993. 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which changed its method of accounting for income taxes. As discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company also adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" in 1993 which changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

Five-Year Summary
The management of TrustCo has identified return on equity as the principal measurement index in evaluating its effectiveness in fulfilling its responsibility to the shareholders. Return on assets, while an important measure of performance, is regarded as a less sensitive indicator of true shareholder return. The Company's return on average shareholders' equity for 1993 was 16.18 percent. This key performance indicator has exceeded 15 percent in each of the past five years. Return on average assets performance has remained consistently positive throughout the period as well, providing further evidence of steady performance.
Cash dividends per share have increased 2.5 times over the past five years, for a compound annual increase of 25.9 percent. Management believes that retained earnings should be maintained at a level that fully supports, but does not exceed, the Company's needs, with earnings above such a level returned to the owners in the form of cash dividends.
This consistently strong performance in all areas indicates the success enjoyed by the Company in promoting the Bank's image as "YOUR HOME TOWN BANK" to a broad range of customers. Management intends to continue to focus its attention on being the best retail banking company in the Capital District.
Financial Review
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
A sound asset/liability management program must balance the goals of maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet depositors' requirements, while at the same time continuing to satisfy credit needs in our markets. Management has addressed these issues by developing a maturity mix that maximizes flexibility in responding to both liquidity needs and interest rate fluctuations, and by consistently focusing attention on developing and expanding stable funding sources. The continuing volatility of interest rates during 1993, a year in which Federal funds rates fluctuated by 275 basis points, serves to highlight the importance of active management of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in enabling the Company to attain its financial goals.
TrustCo has emphasized the funding of asset growth through the expansion of its core deposit base. These funds (which represent total deposits, less certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more) have historically proven to be the most stable and least costly sources of funds. Despite ongoing competitive pressures, the level of core deposits has increased steadily, rising from 91.0 percent of average total liabilities in 1991 to 93.9 percent in 1992. During 1993, the level of core deposits continued to expand, reaching an impressive 95.2 percent of average total liabilities at December 31, 1993. This growth was centered during 1993 in savings accounts, which increased significantly, while other forms of deposits declined in aggregate. Core deposit growth for 1993 of 6.3 percent outpaced the 5.2 percent increase in interest earning assets, providing a further indication of the stability of funding sources.
Liquidity and interest sensitivity are related in that each is affected by maturing assets and liabilities. Interest sensitivity analysis, however, takes the additional step of considering that certain assets and liabilities are subject to rate adjustment(s) prior to maturity. The objective of interest sensitivity management is to establish and maintain satisfactory net interest margins throughout all phases of a full interest rate cycle.
The measurement of the interest rate sensitivity position at any specific point in time involves numerous assumptions and estimates. Within this context, the accompanying interest sensitivity analysis, divided into future repricing timeframes, helps to illustrate the potential impact of future interest rate changes on net interest income. It should be noted that interest sensitivity is only one indicator of the extent to which changes in interest rates have the potential to affect net interest income. The components of the earning asset and interest bearing liability portfolios are also changing continuously. The Company has not, to date, used financial futures or interest rate swaps in the management of interest rate risk.
For purposes of this analysis, the maturity and repricing of loans is based on stated maturity or earliest repricing date. For securities held for sale and investment securities, the earlier of average life or stated maturity is used.
The category of regular savings, NOW and money market accounts includes balances of $110,630,000, $238,871,000, $11,537,000 and $719,999,000 for Money Market accounts, NOW accounts, Investment checking accounts and regular savings respectively. Although these deposits are subject to immediate withdrawal, it is management's experience that they mature or reprice over a full interest rate cycle. Time accounts, short term debt and long term debt are based on stated maturity.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income represents the difference between interest related income and expense. Taxable equivalent net interest income for 1993 rose $4.6 million, or 6.7 percent to $74.0 million, after a $23.8 million increase in 1992. Despite ongoing competitive pressure in both funding sources and investment alternatives, taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average assets increased 6 basis points to 4.04 percent in 1993, after declining 22 basis points in 1992.
The following table summarizes the major components of net interest income.
Changes in interest income and expense result from variances in the volume of outstanding interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, from fluctuations in the level of interest rates earned and paid, or from a combination of these factors. Average interest earning assets have steadily increased, reaching $1.8 billion in 1993. Taxable equivalent yields on these assets have fallen with the general level of interest rates, declining 1.2 percent in 1992, and an additional 1.0 percent to 7.4 percent in 1993. Interest bearing liabilities have consistently increased, growing to $1.7 billion in 1993. Interest paid on these funds has declined steadily with overall rate movements, decreasing 1.3 percent in 1992 and an additional 1.1 percent to 3.6 percent in 1993.
The following table sets forth, for each major category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, changes in 1993 and 1992 taxable equivalent interest income and expense, allocating the changes to variances in either volume or rate.
(a) The dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in rate/volume (change in rate times change in volume) has been allocated between rate and volume variances based on the absolute relationship of such variances to each other.
The following schedule sets forth the classification of consolidated loans by major category as of year end:
INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS
Taxable equivalent interest and fees on loans for the last 5 years are summarized below:
Increases in taxable equivalent interest and fees on loans allocable to changes in average volume and rate for the two most recent years are presented below:
COMMERCIAL LOANS
Both average commercial loan outstandings and taxable equivalent interest income on commercial loans decreased during 1993. The decline in volume is attributable in part to generally flat loan demand in the Bank's market area, and in part to the resolution of a number of problem credits acquired in connection with the purchase of Home & City Savings Bank in 1991.
Average commercial loan outstandings decreased 12.5 percent to $237 million in 1993. Taxable equivalent interest income on commercial loans was reduced 17.3 percent during 1993 as a result of decreasing average volume, in combination with declining interest rates. The taxable equivalent interest rate on commercial loans was 8.6 percent in 1993, compared with 9.1 percent in 1992 and 10.2 percent in 1991. The Bank's commercial loan portfolio is a component of management's asset/liability management program. As indicated in the following table, 52.1 percent of the commercial loan portfolio either matures within one year or has a floating interest rate.
Good corporate citizenship and a resource allocation strategy that emphasizes diversification have led the Bank to pursue opportunities in the commercial lending area that allow it to address the needs of businesses within its marketplace, while at the same time maintaining the high quality of the loan portfolio. Requests for commercial loans secured by real estate are evaluated on an individual-case basis. Collateral standards conform to all applicable regulatory standards. Although commercial loans are generally granted for a specified duration, certain loans may be renewed in the ordinary course of business. Requests for loan renewals are based on internal credit evaluation standards, and on market conditions in effect at the time renewal requests are received.
The Bank continues to hold no foreign debt. In addition, the commercial loan portfolio contains no concentrations of credit with either individual borrowing interests or with specific industries. Substantially all loans in the portfolio have been originated locally, and their diversity is reflective of the heterogeneity of the Capital Region's economy.
REAL ESTATE LOANS
Real estate-related credit products (primarily first mortgages and Home Equity Credit Lines) comprised the growth portion of the Bank's loan portfolio during 1993. Competitive pricing and aggressive marketing of these products have allowed the Bank to expand portfolio volume in an increasingly crowded marketplace as it works toward fulfilling its mission of functioning as the premier retail bank in the Capital Region.
Home Equity Credit Lines outstanding at December 31, 1993 aggregated $202.0 million, compared with year-end balances of $195.2 million in 1992 and $168.2 million in 1991. Mortgage balances, with attractive rate offerings and active promotion, increased $73.3 million at December 31, 1993.
Average interest rates on real estate loans continued to decline, reflecting national and local trends. The average interest rate for 1993 was 8.3 percent, compared with 9.0 percent in 1992 and 10.0 percent in 1991. The increase in the size of the Bank's portfolio, however, contributed to an increase of 1.2 percent in 1993 in interest income on real estate loans.
Loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties represented over 99 percent of the Bank's real estate loan portfolio at December 31, 1993. The vast majority of the loans in portfolio are collateralized by properties within Trustco's market areas. The Bank's knowledge of local properties and market conditions enhances the quality of its real estate loans, all of which are underwritten in accordance with collateralization standards which conform to applicable regulatory standards. Loans funded by the Bank in 1993, as has been the case in prior years, are retained in portfolio rather than being packaged for secondary market resale.
On May 31, 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114). SFAS No. 114, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, prescribes recognition criteria for loan impairment and measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans whose terms are modified in troubled debt restructurings. Although the Company has not yet performed a detailed analysis of the effects of the implementation of SFAS No. 114, the Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
INSTALLMENT LOANS
Tax law changes have reduced the attractiveness of installment loans for many customers. Despite this, Trustco continues to offer a full range of these products as part of its comprehensive commitment to retail banking in its markets. Average balances, including credit card outstandings, decreased 31.1 percent in 1993 to $33.1 million. The volume of applications for all types of installment loans was reduced during 1993. The average yield on installment loan products, after increasing from 13.8 percent in 1991 to 14.6 percent in 1992, declined again to 13.8 percent in 1993, reflecting the general downward trend in interest rates.
SECURITIES HELD FOR SALE
Securities held for sale represent that portion of the investment portfolio which the Company does not intend to hold until maturity. These securities are managed in conjunction with short-term investment vehicles such as Federal funds sold, and with potentially volatile funding sources such as short-term debt and large ($100,000 or more) certificates of deposit in such a way as to maximize management's flexibility in responding to structural changes in the composition of borrowed funds and to seasonal and/or cyclical fluctuations in loan demand.
The portfolio of securities held for sale as of December 31, 1993 consisted of U.S. Treasury Notes with a book value of $230.6 million and a market value of $236.5 million, and corporate bonds with a book value of $10.2 million and a market value of $11.6 million. Securities held for sale having a book value of $41.2 million were pledged to secure public deposits and for purposes required by law at December 31, 1993. The average taxable equivalent yield on securities held for sale in 1993 was 6.9 percent, a decline of 52 basis points from 1992 levels.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities represent that portion of the investment portfolio which the Company has both the capacity and the intent to hold until maturity. These securities are held to increase yield as part of management's program for maximizing longer-term overall returns.
The quality of the portfolio, both of investment securities and of securities held for sale, is evidenced by the fact that over 96 percent of total holdings consist of either U.S. Treasury securities, or instruments carrying one of the top three investment grades from at least one leading rating agency. The December 31, 1993 book value of securities pledged to secure public deposits or for purposes required by law was $85.6 million. The only obligations (other than U.S. Treasury and agency issues) that represented more than 10 percent of equity capital at December 31, 1993 were bonds issued by General Electric Capital Corporation. These bonds are rated Aaa, and mature in 1994 and 1995.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 affected the income potential of the portfolio by eliminating the deduction for carrying non-qualified municipal investments. Accordingly, investments are selected with a view toward safety of principal, as well as the generation of the highest possible income. Trustco Bank New York continues to serve Capital Region governmental units by providing capital and operating funds through active participation in the municipal bond and note market.
The weighted average maturity of investment securities and investments held for sale declined in 1993, increasing the rate sensitivity of the portfolio. The approximate weighted average portfolio maturity was 3 years, 7 months at December 31, 1993, compared with 4 years, 3 months at the end of 1992, and 5 years, 9 months at year-end 1991. The following tables detail the maturity distribution and weighted average yield of the Company's investment securities and securities held for sale as of December 31, 1993. The Company's mortgage backed securities are calculated in the maturity section of the table on the basis of their stated average life of 3 years, 6 months rather than their weighted average maturity of 14 years, 8 months. Weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of effective yield to the earlier of call or maturity date, considering applicable premium or discount, but not converting yields to a taxable equivalent basis.
The following tables set forth the book value and market value by maturity distribution (based on the earlier of call or maturity date) of the Company's investment securities and securities held for sale at December 31, 1993.
The market value of the investment portfolio at December 31, 1993 was $21.8 million above the book value. Market appreciation aggregated $21.1 million and $19.2 million at the end of 1992 and 1991, respectively. The Company realized $6.2 million in gains from the sale of securities, primarily U.S. Treasury Notes. The proceeds of these sales were reinvested in securities of similar quality and maturity, which were designated as Held for Sale.
The following tables detail the classification of the Company's investment securities and securities held for sale by type, and provides information on their book value.
Investment income recorded in each of the last five years is set forth in the following tables.
The following tables set forth, by category of investment, changes in taxable equivalent interest income resulting from either changes in average balances or in average rate for 1993 as compared with 1992, and for 1992 as compared with 1991.
Taxable equivalent earnings on investment securities declined 33.1 percent to $29.6 million, partially as a result of the reclassification of certain securities into the Held for Sale designation, and partly due to a 130 basis point decline to 6.5 percent in average taxable equivalent yield. Earnings on investment securities in 1992 rose 20.2 percent, as a 36.0 percent increase in volume more than offset a reduction of 11.6 percent in average taxable equivalent yield.
U.S. Government and Agency obligations represented 60.1 percent of the average book value of investment securities in 1993, compared to 60.3 percent in 1992 and 67.2 percent in 1991. Taxable equivalent interest income on this segment of the portfolio decreased 35.5 percent to $16.9 million in 1993, as a generally declining trend in interest rates combined with the reduction in book value resulting from management's designation of a Held for Sale portfolio.
The Company's average investment in the obligations of states and political subdivisions declined 40.2 percent from 1992 levels to $32.7 million, or 7.2 percent of the book value of the 1993 average investment portfolio. This decrease is associated with the limited availability of qualifying designated small issue obligations that meet the Company's standards for credit rating, maturity and yield. The average taxable equivalent yield on these securities in 1993 was 6.4 percent, compared to 7.3 percent in 1992 and 8.4 percent in 1991. Taxable equivalent income on state and municipal obligations fell 48.2 percent to $2.1 million in 1993.
The Company holds a portfolio of mortgage backed securities, in which management has invested because such instruments offer market liquidity, relatively high yields, limited credit risk and simplified payment collection. The primary risk connected with these instruments is that declining interest rates will accelerate prepayment volume for the loans supporting the securities, an event which reduces the effective yield of the investment and exposes the amounts prepaid to interest rate risk.
Average holdings of mortgage backed securities decreased 20.1 percent from 1992 to 1993. Holdings of mortgage backed securities backed by U.S. Government agencies or sponsored agencies (GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC) increased during 1993, but the Company sold its holdings of Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) late in 1992. There are no other mortgage derivative products in the Company's portfolio at December 31, 1993. The average yield on mortgage backed securities was 7.1 percent at December 31, 1993. Income on mortgage backed securities was $8.4 million for 1993, as compared to $12.4 million in 1992 and $4.5 million in 1991. Other securities in portfolio at December 31, 1993 consist primarily of investment grade corporate bonds.
In May, 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. This Statement addresses the accounting for equity issues that have readily determinable fair values, and for all investments in debt securities. Those investments are to be classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either "held-to-maturity" or "trading securities" are classified as "available-for-sale securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Management believes at this time that the Statement will have no material impact on the financial statements.
FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
The Company has historically allocated a significant portion of its available resources to Federal funds sold. Factors considered by management in determining appropriate levels for this form of investment include: available rates on other short-term products, the volume of short-term borrowings and large-denomination ($100,000 and over) certificates of deposit, and overall corporate liquidity goals. Average Federal funds balances in 1993 were $163.6 million, a 44.2 percent increase over 1992. Interest income from Federal funds sales rose 28.9 percent in 1993 to $4.9 million. The average interest rate on this investment continued to decline, decreasing 39.2 percent between 1991 and 1992, and exhibiting a further 36 basis point reduction to an average rate of 3.0 percent in 1993.
DEPOSITS
The following tables detail average consolidated deposits and interest expense for the last five years.
The following table sets forth changes in interest expense for each deposit category. The changes are allocated to variances in either average balance or in rate for 1993 as compared to 1992, and for 1992 as compared to 1991.
Despite an increase of $88.0 million in aggregate interest bearing deposits, interest expense on deposits decreased $14.3 million in 1993, a reflection of continuing downward movement in interest rates. The average rate paid on interest bearing time deposits was 3.6 percent, as compared to 4.7 percent in 1992 and 6.0 percent in 1991.
Non-interest bearing demand deposits are a significant funding resource for the Bank, and play an important role in liability management, with a direct effect on net income. Average demand deposits rose 4.6 percent in 1993 to $92.8 million. These funds represented 5.2 percent of average total deposits in 1993 as compared to 5.3 percent in 1992 and 8.2 percent in 1991.
The categories of interest bearing deposits which experienced growth in 1993 were regular savings and NOW accounts. Both of these products were marketed aggressively during 1993, and the growth in outstandings represents the attraction of new funds and expansion of Capital Region market share.
Average regular savings account balances rose 26.4 percent to $730.2 million. Approximately half of the increase represented new customer accounts, with the balance consisting of internal transfers and interest credits. Despite the increase in average balances, a decline of 121 basis points in the average rate paid on these accounts resulted in a decrease of $2.1 million in interest expense on savings accounts.
Average NOW account balances grew 3.7 percent to $242.9 million during 1993. However, interest expense declined 34.1 percent in 1993 due to continuing reductions in average rates, which dropped from 4.2 percent in 1991, to 2.7 percent in 1992, and to 1.7 percent in 1993.
Other types of interest bearing deposits decreased in 1993. The average volume of money market checking accounts decreased by 14.6 percent to $113.6 million during 1993. Other time accounts, comprised primarily of certificates of deposit under $100,000 and Individual Retirement Accounts, fell 7.1 percent in 1993. The average rate paid on these accounts dropped from 7.3 percent in 1991, to 6.0 percent in 1992, and to 5.2 percent in 1993.
The Bank does not rely to any significant extent on certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more. During 1993, the average volume of these instruments fell to $33.4 million, a drop of 25.0 percent from the 1992 average volume of $44.6 million. The average rate paid on these certificates declined from 5.78 percent in 1992 to 5.44 percent in 1993. The following table sets forth, by time remaining until maturity, the aggregate amount of certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more that were carried on the books of the Company as of December 31, 1993.
The following table details the classification of the Company's average consolidated deposits by type of depositor.
There is no concentration of deposits whose loss could have a material adverse effect on the business operations of TrustCo. Public funds are secured by the pledge of collateral in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. TrustCo's investment portfolio is managed in a manner which accommodates such requirements.
SHORT-TERM DEBT
Short-term debt consists primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. These transactions involve contracts under which the Bank sells a U.S. Treasury security to a customer, while simultaneously agreeing to repurchase the same security on a specified future date at a predetermined price. The transactions do not normally exceed ninety days in duration.
The average volume of the Company's short-term debt declined 31.6 percent to $17.4 million in 1993, following a 40.6 percent decline in 1992. The average rate paid on these transactions in 1993 was 2.2 percent, as compared to 3.0 percent in 1992 and 5.1 percent in 1991. Interest expense on short-term debt for 1993 was $380 thousand, down from $757 thousand in 1992 and $2.2 million in 1991.
The following table details consolidated short-term debt over the past three years.
LONG-TERM DEBT
At December 31, 1992, consolidated long-term debt consisted solely of $5.0 million in 9.4 percent senior notes. These obligations were paid in full on September 30, 1993.
Consolidated long-term debt at December 31, 1993 consists entirely of $2.75 million borrowed by ORE Subsidiary Corporation at the prime rate under a $10 million revolving credit facility. Interest paid on long term debt declined to $357 thousand in 1993, after aggregating $470 thousand in both 1992 and 1991.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
The provision for possible loan losses represents a charge to expense related to potential future loss in the loan portfolio. The amount charged in each period reflects management's assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio at a specific point in time, based on loan volume, economic conditions, and the Bank's historical loan loss experience. The 1993 provision for loan losses of $11.6 million was 8.8 percent lower than the amount charged in 1992, while the provision of $12.7 million in 1992 was 95.6 percent higher than in 1991. The average allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of average loans outstanding, was 3.0 percent in 1993, as compared with 2.4 percent in 1992 and 2.6 percent in 1991.
OTHER INCOME
The following table details the major components of other income over the past five years.
Total non-interest income of $19.2 million for 1993 was up 24.4 percent from 1992, which in turn increased 56.7 percent from the 1991 level. Service charges on deposit accounts and other fees represented the largest component of other income in 1993, rising 1.7 percent to $6.5 million. Net gains on securities designated as "held for sale" aggregated $5.9 million in 1993, primarily as the result of sales of U.S. Treasury Notes. Fee income in the Trust Department in 1993 was $4.3 million, an increase of 12.4 percent over 1992 levels, which had declined 2.6 percent since 1991.
OTHER EXPENSES
The following table provides a detailed summary of other expenses over the past five years.
Aggregate non-interest expenses grew 1.7 percent to $43.5 million in 1993. Non-interest expenses for 1992 were 51.7 percent above 1991 levels, primarily due to the acquisition of Home & City Savings Bank.
The largest component of non-interest expense continues to be salaries and employee benefits. These costs rose 5.0 percent in 1993 after increases of 35.7 percent in 1992 and 17.7 percent in 1991. The increases were primarily due to routine wage adjustments, increased payroll taxes, and the growing cost of providing employee benefits. While compensation costs continue to represent a significant component of non-interest expense, the effectiveness of management controls in this area is evidenced by the Bank's consistent placement in the most efficient quartile of comparable organizations as defined in the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's Uniform Bank Performance Reports.
Significant items within the category of other expenses for 1993 included a reduction of $1.2 million, or 53.9 percent, in advertising and promotional expense as a result of management's decision to scale down all advertising campaigns. Professional expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 41.6 percent in 1993, mainly as the result of eliminating computer consultant services. These costs, which were associated with various systems conversions, totalled $1.4 million in 1992. Other real estate expenses increased $4.5 million in 1993, as several sizable problem assets acquired in the Home & City purchase moved toward resolution.
In 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Statement No. 106 requires a calculation of the present value of expected benefits to be paid to employees after their retirement and an allocation of those benefits to the periods in which the employees render service to earn the benefits. The Company adopted Statement No. 106 on January 1, 1993 at a cost of $5,770,000. The Company funded the resulting liability during the first quarter of 1993 with investments which will generate earnings that will reduce period post retirement benefit costs in future years.
APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES
Applicable income taxes and effective tax rates were $12.5 million and 34.6 percent for 1993, $9.3 million and 34.8 percent for 1992 and $4.9 million and 27.4 percent for 1991. Income taxes for financial reporting purposes differ from the amount computed by applying the statutory rate to income before taxes. This difference is due primarily to tax-exempt income from certain loans and investment securities and non-deductible expenses, primarily goodwill. For additional information concerning income taxes, refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company currently accounts for income taxes under FASB Statement No. 109, which changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method required under APB 11 to the asset and liability method. Under the deferred method, annual income tax expense is matched with pretax accounting income by providing deferred taxes at current tax rates for timing differences between the determination of net income for financial reporting and tax purposes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are detailed in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
TrustCo meets all the regulatory requirements for designation as a well capitalized bank holding company. The Company has established the regulatory standards for designation as a well capitalized company as its internal minimum capital requirement.
Designation by the regulatory agencies as a well capitalized bank holding company requires: a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater; a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0 percent or greater; and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater. At December 31, 1993, Trustco had a leverage ratio of 6.67 percent, a Tier I risk- based capital ratio of 12.06 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.34 percent. The Company's capital ratios were all in excess of regulatory minimums for designation as well capitalized for 1992 and 1991 as well.
Equity capital stood at $129.9 million at December 31, 1993, an increase of $9.5 million over the 1992 level, which in turn had grown $9.3 million from year-end 1991. Substantially all of the increase in equity capital in this period was the result of earnings retention. At December 31, 1993, equity capital represented 6.6 percent of total assets, compared with 6.2 percent at year-end 1992 and 6.3 percent at the end of 1991. The strength of the equity capital of the Company and its subsidiary Bank affords protection to the depositors, and also affords the Company ready access to the debt and equity markets.
The book value of TrustCo stock has increased steadily, growing from $8.50 per share at year-end 1991, to $9.15 at the end of 1992, and to $9.82 per share at December 31, 1993. The Company had no commitments for the future issuance of securities, other than its stock option plan, in place at December 31, 1993.
Dividends paid on common stock in 1993 totalled $11.6 million, or 56.9 percent of net income. In addition, the Company paid a 2 for 1 stock split in November, 1993, while simultaneously raising the annualized dividend rate to $1.00 per share. During 1992, cash dividends represented 51.1 percent of income, and a 5 for 4 stock split was paid. The 1991 cash dividend payout of 45.0 percent of income was supplemented with a 10 percent stock dividend.
CREDIT RISK REVIEW
Much of what is discussed in this financial review is based on the underlying principle of prudent management of the Company's resources. Management has consistently endeavored to be appropriately responsive to a variety of changes in the Company's markets, while at all times preserving its financial strength. The Company has a well-established tradition of avoiding high-risk resource allocation strategies in favor of more secure opportunities based on sound financial relationships. Historical levels of non-performing loans, charge-offs, and the allowance for loan losses are all indicative of the prudence of this approach.
However, the extension of credit involves the inherent risk that funds advanced will not be repaid. Weighing risks against rewards within the context of the Company's overall business strategy is the primary task in portfolio management. This effort requires the thorough review of a prospective borrower's business strategy, financial statements, credit history and available collateral prior to the extension of credit. It also requires the regular scrutiny of existing loans, affording management the opportunity to respond quickly to deteriorating credits in order to minimize their consequences. The loan portfolio is subject to ongoing internal review, as well as to periodic examination by state and federal supervisory authorities and the Company's independent certified public accountants.
The Company has historically experienced modest levels of net loan losses. Net loans charged against the allowance for loan losses during 1993 were $4.4 million, as compared to $4.8 million in 1992 and $1.6 million in 1991. Net charge-offs represented 0.43 percent of average outstanding loans in 1993, 0.48 percent in 1992, and 0.26 percent in 1991. The increase in net charge-offs after 1991 is associated with the volume of problem credits acquired in connection with the purchase of Home & City Savings Bank. Management currently anticipates that charge-offs will continue in the range of 0.40 percent of average outstanding loans.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1993 was $34.1 million, or 3.2 percent of net loans outstanding as of that date. At year-end 1992 and 1991, the allowance for loan losses represented, respectively, 2.6 and 1.9 percent of outstanding loans. Charge-off coverage (the ratio of the year-end allowance for loan losses to net charge-offs for the year) is an indicator of the adequacy of the allowance. This ratio was 7.7 times for 1993, as compared with 5.6 times for 1992 and 11.8 times for 1991. The most recent examination by the New York State Banking Department and the Federal Reserve Bank found that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at the date of the examination.
The table which follows details the historical relationship among outstanding loans, the loan loss allowance, additions to the allowance charged to operating expense, charge-offs and recoveries.
DISCUSSION OF LOAN PORTFOLIO RISK ELEMENTS
Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is influenced by a variety of factors, including: the Company's standards for granting new loans and evaluating existing credits; the component elements of the loan portfolio and the growth patterns exhibited therein; current economic conditions; the loss potential of loans classified by internal reviewers, supervisory authorities and independent accountants; the level of past due and non-accrual loans; and the Company's historical loan loss experience.
The allowance for loan losses over the past five years has averaged 2.61 percent of average loans outstanding, while net loan losses for the same period have averaged a significantly lower 0.34 percent of average loans. Additionally, while it is common industry practice for the total of non-accrual loans, loans in excess of 90 days delinquent and renegotiated loans to exceed the allowance for loan losses, the Company's volume of loans so classified of $1.9 million at year-end 1993 and $7.4 million at year-end 1992 was far lower than the year-end allowance for loan loss levels of $34.1 million in 1993 and $26.9 million in 1992.
The ratio of recoveries on prior period charge-offs to loans charged off is a test of both the conservatism of charge-off practices and the forcefulness of collection efforts. Over the past five years, the Company's recovery ratio has averaged 27.0 percent on a weighted basis, indicating that charge-offs are taken in a timely manner and that recovery efforts are effective.
The adequacy of the loan loss allowance is further supported by the lack of foreign debt in the portfolio, the absence of single-borrower or single-industry concentrations, and the local composition of the loan portfolio. Past experience suggests that it is not practical for management to allocate the allowance for loan losses to specific categories within the loan portfolio on a statistical or other basis.
NON-PERFORMING LOANS
Loans categorized as "non-performing" include those credits on a non- accrual basis, credits contractually past due 90 days or more, and credits whose terms have been renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower. Non-performing loans receive management's close attention.
Loans are placed in non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is in doubt. Thereafter, no interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to make scheduled payments of interest and principal. The following table sets forth information with regard to non-performing loans:
Non-performing year-end 1993 commercial loans of $114 thousand were 0.05 percent of outstandings (compared with 1.6 percent and 0.1 percent at year-end 1992 and 1991 respectively). Real estate loans of $1.5 million were 0.2 percent of outstandings (compared with 0.4 percent at year-end 1992 and 0.6 percent at year-end 1991). There were $250 thousand in non-performing installment loans, or 0.9 percent of outstandings, at year-end 1993 compared to 0.9 percent at year-end 1992 and 0.5 percent at year-end 1991. Most of the increase in non- performing loans was due to loans acquired from Home & City Savings Bank in 1991. With respect to loans in non-accrual status at December 31, 1993, the gross interest income that would have been recorded during 1993 had the loans remained current was $1 thousand, and the amount that was actually recorded amounted to $1 thousand. As of December 31, 1993, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Real estate properties acquired in satisfaction of loans are classified as other assets and recorded on an individual basis at the lower of fair value minus estimated costs to sell or "cost" (defined as the fair value at initial foreclosure). The value of real estate owned was $6.2 million at December 31, 1993 and $5.9 million at December 31, 1992. In-substance foreclosures were valued at $14.9 million at the end of 1993 and $20.7 million at the end of 1992. Most of the increase in real estate owned and in-substance foreclosure was due to assets acquired from Home & City Savings Bank in 1991.
Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity; Interest Rates and Interest Differential
The following table summarizes the component distribution of average balance sheet, related interest income and expense and the average yields on earning assets and rates on interest bearing liabilities of the Company and the Bank on a tax equivalent basis for each of the reported periods. Non-accrual loans are included in loans for this analysis. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, interest income is recorded only to the extent actually received in cash.
Price Range of Common Stock and Dividends Per Share
The common stock of the Company is traded on the NASDAQ National Market System. The prices in the table are actual transactions, but may be purchases and sales of shares between dealers and may not include mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions.
Dividends and stock prices have been adjusted for a 2 for 1 Stock Split in November 1993 and 5 for 4 stock split paid to shareholders in November 1992. On December 31, 1993, the last transaction on NASDAQ of the common stock of the Company was $22.75 a share. The Company had 3,963 shareholders of record at year end.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
KPMG Peat Marwick Certified Public Accountants 74 North Pearl Street Albany, New York 12207
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of TrustCo Bank Corp NY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, 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, 1993. 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993 the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which changed its method of accounting for income taxes. As discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company also adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" in 1993 which changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.
