Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

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 was organized in 1981 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Trustco Bank, National Association, formerly known as Trustco Bank New York, and prior to that The Schenectady Trust Company. 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 were 435 full-time equivalent employees at year-end. TrustCo had 4,501 shareholders of record as of December 31, 1994, and the closing price of the stock at that date was $20.25.
Bank Subsidiary
On November 16, 1994 TrustCo initiated the process to convert its banking subsidiary, Trustco Bank New York, a New York state chartered trust company, to a national banking association operating under the name Trustco Bank, National Association (the Bank ). The conversion was undertaken to facilitate the Bank's regulatory processes and minimize duplicative federal/state compliance issues. The conversion became effective on February 1, 1995. The Bank is a national bank 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 1994 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 $634 million as of December 31, 1994.
The daily operations of the Bank remain 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 subsidiary are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
Competition
The 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 the 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 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
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 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Most of TrustCo's revenues consist of cash dividends paid to TrustCo by its subsidiary Bank, payment of which is subject to various regulatory limitations. (Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994, which appears on pages 30 and 31 thereof and contains information concerning restrictions of TrustCo's ability to pay dividends, is hereby incorporated by reference.) 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 various laws and regulations governing the operation and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress and before various federal and state regulatory authorities. Most recently, on September 29, 1994 the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was enacted which permits beginning one year from date of enactment, bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state (subject to state and nationwide deposit limitations) and for full interstate branching commencing June 1, 1997.
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 "Management Discussion and Analysis" on pages 5 through 23 of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994, 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 45 offices, of which 20 are owned and 25 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 subsidiaries involving matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of TrustCo, there are no proceedings pending to which TrustCo or 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 indemnification 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 indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Trustco Bank New York (the "Bank"), a New York banking corporation, and TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company"), a New York business corporation (herein referred to collectively as the "Companies") entered into an Employment Agreement dated July 15, 1992 (herein referred to as the "Agreement") with Nancy A. McNamara (herein referred to as the "Executive"); and
WHEREAS, the Companies and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Agreement in its entirety effective as of June 21, 1994;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety effective June 21, 1994, so that it shall read as follows:
Engagement. The Companies agree to engage the Executive and the executive agrees to serve the Companies as an Executive.
1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on July 15, 1992 and shall continue until December 31, 1992. Beginning on January 1, 1993, and on January 1 of each and every year thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional year on the same terms and conditions, except to the extent modified in writing, unless the Executive is notified by the method set forth in Paragraph 11 herein that Executive has been terminated ("Nonrenewal Notice"). Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to extend the Executive's right to employment beyond the age of 65 years or the then mandatory retirement age in effect, whichever shall be greater.
2. Purpose and Effect. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide Termination Benefits, as defined in Paragraph 9 hereof, in the event of a Termination, as defined in Paragraph 8 hereof.
3. Service. The Executive shall exert Executive's best efforts and devote substantially all of Executive's time and attention to the affairs of the Bank. The Executive shall perform all the services and duties necessary or appropriate for the management of the Bank's businesses, subject to the general direction, approval, and control of the Chief Executive Officer and his designees.
4. Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, Annual Compensation shall be deemed to be the Executive's Annual Base Salary. Commencing January 1, 1992, Executive shall be paid by the Companies, the Annual Base Salary established on Schedule A attached hereto (which base salary shall be paid in bi-weekly installments). Thereafter, Annual Base Salary shall continue at such level or such other level as may have been agreed to among the parties and evidenced as provided in this Paragraph, until renegotiated among the parties hereto and either confirmed in a writing signed by either the Chief Executive Officer of or a member of the Board of Directors of the Companies, or endorsed on Schedule A and signed by either the Chief Executive Officer of or by a member of the Board of Directors of the Companies.
5. Retirement, Pension and Profit Sharing. As further compensation for the services of the Executive:
(a) The Executive shall be eligible to participate fully in any retirement, executive incentive compensation, pension or profit sharing plans maintained by the Companies, pursuant to the terms of such plans. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any of the terms of or conditions precedent to participation in such plans; and
(b) Upon termination of the Executive's employment due to retirement or disability (both as defined in the Retirement Plan of Trustco Bank New York), the Companies shall provide to the Executive and her spouse, for the life of the Executive, the health insurance benefits provided to retirees by the Companies under their medical insurance plan. The Companies shall provide to the Executive for her life the life insurance benefits provided to retirees by the Companies under their life insurance plan. The obligations of the Companies pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6. Termination of Employment.
(a) If there shall be a Termination (as defined in Paragraph 8 hereof) of the Executive from the Companies within two (2) years after a change in control of either Company, for any reason other than for good cause, death, retirement at the mandatory retirement age, or disability, the Executive shall receive upon her Termination with either of the Companies, the Termination Benefits set forth herein. The Executive's Termination for good cause shall be limited to the Executive's having committed an act of fraud, embezzlement, or theft, constituting a felony or any act intentionally against either of the Companies which causes either Company material injury, or a final determination by a court that the Executive has committed a material breach of her duties and responsibilities in connection with rendering services to either of the Companies pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) A "change in control" of either Company means any of the following events: (i) any individual, corporation (other than either Company), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or any group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either Company possessing twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either Company; (ii) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either Company or the securities of either Company in which holders of voting securities of either Company immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either Company (or, if either Company does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the corporation or corporations surviving such transaction) having less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power in an election of directors of either Company (or such other surviving corporation or corporations); (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by either Company's shareholders, of each new director of either Company was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the applicable Company then still in office who were directors of such Company at the beginning of any such period; (iv) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either Company other than a removal for cause; and (v) there shall be consummated any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all, of the assets of either Company (on a consolidated basis) to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with the Companies.
(c) Notice of Termination shall be communicated by the terminating party to the other parties to this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof.
7. Termination. Termination shall include, but is not limited to, (i) any reduction in the Executive's Annual Base Salary, executive incentive compensation, disability, death, retirement, pension or profit sharing benefits (unless such reductions shall have been applied to all Bank employees as a part of a validly adopted plan of cost containment), responsibilities or duties, or (ii) either Companies' relocation or a change in the Executive's base location, or (iii) a Nonrenewal Notice given pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, or (iv) the unilateral election of the Executive to terminate the Agreement. Such election shall be communicated to the Companies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof.
8. Termination Benefits. The following benefits shall be Termination Benefits:
(a) The Companies shall pay to the Executive the Executive's full compensation through the effective date of her Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given or at the time of Termination, if earlier, and in addition
(b)The Companies shall pay to the Executive within ten (10) days of Termination a lump sum amount equal to two (2) times the Executive's Annual Base Salary then in effect, and in addition
(c) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all benefits payable to the Executive under the Companies' retirement, executive incentive compensation, pension and profit sharing plans, and in addition
(d) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such Termination, and in addition
(e) The Companies shall provide the Executive, for one year following her Termination, Health Insurance and Group Life Insurance benefits substantially similar to those the Executive was receiving immediately prior to her Termination, and in addition
(f) In the event the Termination Benefits paid to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the Companies will pay to the Executive, within ten (10) days after the date the Excise Tax is determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the Termination Benefits and any other benefits subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) any Federal, State and local income taxes and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for in this subparagraph (f), shall be equal to the Termination Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal, State and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the calendar year in which the Termination Benefits are to be made. State and local income taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Executive's domicile on Termination. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Companies and acceptable to the Executive. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one lump cash sum within thirty (30) days of such computation.
9. Indemnity. The Companies shall indemnify the Executive and hold Executive harmless for any acts or decisions made by Executive in good faith while performing services for either of the Companies and shall use their best efforts to obtain coverage for Executive under any insurance policy now in force or hereinafter obtained during the term of this Agreement covering the other officers and directors of the Companies against lawsuits. The Companies will pay all expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred by the Executive in connection with any appeal thereon including the cost of court settlements.
10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the time when personally delivered or mailed at any general or branch United States Post Office enclosed in a post paid envelope and addressed to the address of the respective party stated below or to such changed address as such party may have fixed by notice.

(b) Upon termination of the Executive's employment due to retirement or disability (both as defined in the Retirement Plan of Trustco Bank New York), the Companies shall provide to the Executive and his spouse, for the life of the Executive, the health insurance benefits provided to retirees by the Companies under their medical insurance plan. The Companies shall provide to the Executive for his life the life insurance benefits provided to retirees by the Companies under their life insurance plan.

The Executive's Termination for good cause shall be limited to the Executive's having committed an act of fraud, embezzlement, or theft, constituting a felony or any act intentionally against either of the Companies which causes either Company material injury, or a final determination by a court that the Executive has committed a material breach of his duties and responsibilities in connection with rendering services to either of the Companies pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) A "change in control" of either Company means any of the following events: (i) any individual, corporation (other than either Company), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or any group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either Company possessing twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either Company; (ii) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either Company or the securities of either Company in which holders of voting securities of either Company immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either Company (or, if either Company does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the corporation or corporations surviving such transaction) having less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power in an election of directors of either Company (or such other surviving corporation or corporations); (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by either Company's shareholders, of each new director of either Company was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of the applicable Company then still in office who were directors of such Company at the beginning of any such period; (iv) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either Company other than a removal for cause; and (v) there shall be consummated any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all, of the assets of either Company (on a consolidated basis) to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with the Companies.
(c) Notice of Termination shall be communicated by the terminating party to the other parties to this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof.
7. Termination. Termination shall include, but is not limited to, (i) any reduction in the Executive's Annual Base Salary, executive incentive compensation, disability, death, retirement, pension or profit sharing benefits (unless such reductions shall have been applied to all Bank employees as a part of a validly adopted plan of cost containment), responsibilities or duties, or (ii) either Companies' relocation or a change in the Executive's base location, or (iii) a Nonrenewal Notice given pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, or (iv) the unilateral election of the Executive to terminate the Agreement. Such election shall be communicated to the Companies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof.
8. Termination Benefits. The following benefits shall be Termination Benefits:
(a) The Companies shall pay to the Executive the Executive's full compensation through the effective date of his Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given or at the time of Termination, if earlier, and in addition
(b) The Companies shall pay to the Executive within ten (10) days of Termination a lump sum amount equal to two (2) times the Executive's Annual Base Salary then in effect, and in addition
(c) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all benefits payable to the Executive under the Companies' retirement, executive incentive compensation, pension and profit sharing plans, and in addition
(d) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such Termination, and in addition
(e) The Companies shall provide the Executive, for one year following his Termination, Health Insurance and Group Life Insurance benefits substantially similar to those the Executive was receiving immediately prior to his Termination, and in addition
(f) In the event the Termination Benefits paid to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the Companies will pay to the Executive, within ten (10) days after the date the Excise Tax is determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the Termination Benefits and any other benefits subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) any Federal, State and local income taxes and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for in this subparagraph (f), shall be equal to the Termination Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal, State and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the calendar year in which the Termination Benefits are to be made. State and local income taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Executive's domicile on Termination. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Companies and acceptable to the Executive. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one lump cash sum within thirty (30) days of such computation.
9. Indemnity. The Companies shall indemnify the Executive and hold Executive harmless for any acts or decisions made by Executive in good faith while performing services for either of the Companies and shall use their best efforts to obtain coverage for Executive under any insurance policy now in force or hereinafter obtained during the term of this Agreement covering the other officers and directors of the Companies against lawsuits. The Companies will pay all expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred by the Executive in connection with any appeal thereon including the cost of court settlements.
10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the time when personally delivered or mailed at any general or branch United States Post Office enclosed in a post paid envelope and addressed to the address of the respective party stated below or to such changed address as such party may have fixed by notice.

The Executive may assign the right to payment under this Agreement, but not obligations under this Agreement.

Exhibit 10(h) RESTATED
1985 TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY
STOCK OPTION PLAN
WHEREAS, TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company") established the 1985 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend said Plan effective as of July 1, 1994, and to restate the Plan in its entirety;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company does hereby amend the Plan effective July 1, 1994, and restates the Plan in its entirety so that it will read as follows:
SECTION 1: PURPOSE
This 1985 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 content:
"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 has been designated by the Board as eligible to participate in the Plan and 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 ?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 Restated 1985 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 422(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;

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 428,703, 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. With respect to Incentive Stock Options granted prior to January 1, 1987, 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. With respect to Incentive Stock Options granted after December 31, 1986, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, of the shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries to which the provisions of Section 422 of the Code apply) shall not exceed $100,000.
3. 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 422(b).
SECTION 8: TERMS OF OPTIONS AGREEMENT
All Option Agreements 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. (i) The Option may not be exercisable after the earlier of the following dates:
(a) 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;
(b) 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;
(c) If the Participant's employment terminates for reasons other than his death or Disability or retirement, the date three months after the date his employment terminates.
(d) If the Participant terminates employment as a result of Disability or retirement, the date described in Item 3(i)(a) or 3(i)(b), whichever is applicable.
(e) If the Participant dies, the date prescribed by the Committee, except that no Option shall be exercisable after the date described in Item 3(i)(a) or 3(ii)(b) of Section 8, whichever is applicable.
(f) If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant's employment terminates due to Disability or retirement, the tax treatment available pursuant to Code Section 422 upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option will not be available to a Participant who exercises any Incentive Stock Option more than (a) three months after the date of the termination of employment due to retirement or (b) twelve months after the date of termination of employment due to Disability. If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant dies, the tax treatment available pursuant to Code Section 422 upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option will not be available to the Participant's estate or any person who acquires the Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant unless the Participant was eligible for such tax treatment at the time of his death.
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 maybe exercised.
4. Acceleration and the immediate right to exercise options in full will occur if any one or more 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 during such Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant and, after his death, only by his heirs legatees or personal representatives who succeed to his interest under the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement, the Stock Options and the Stock Appreciation Rights issued under this Plan shall not be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, in addition to non-transferable Stock Options, the Committee may grant Nonqualified Stock Options that are transferable, without payment of consideration, to (i) revocable trusts for the benefit of immediate family members which qualify as grantor trusts for Federal income tax purposes, (ii) by gift to immediate family members, and (iii) to partnerships whose only partners are immediate family members. The Committee may also amend outstanding Nonqualified Stock Options to provide for such transferability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a transferable Nonqualified Stock Option is transferred as permitted herein, such Nonqualified Stock Option(s) may be exercised by such transferee. The transferee of a transferable Nonqualified Stock Option is subject to all conditions applicable to the transferable Nonqualified Stock Option prior to its transfer.
6. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised while there is outstanding (within the meaning of former Code Section 422(c)(7)) any "incentive stock option" (within the meaning of former Code Section 422(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, Items 4 and 10 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 as described in Item 3 of this Section 8.
11. If a Participant dies during the period which he or she could have exercised an Option under Item 3 of Section 8 of the Plan, then the Option may be exercised by the executors or administrators of the Participant's estate, or by any person or persons who may have acquired the Option, directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance within a period prescribed by the Committee after the Participant's death, except that no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date as defined in Item 3(i) or 3(ii) of Section 8, whichever is applicable.
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.
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed on this 18th day of October, 1994.

Exhibit 13 Presidents Message
Dear Shareholder:
The good news is 1994 was another record year at TrustCo. The bad news is a significant segment of the banking industry is encountering difficulty in the area of interest rate hedging or "derivatives." TrustCo has no derivative exposure and our policy of "plain vanilla" in the management of our Company appears to have carried us through unscathed once again. We are grateful to our staff and Board of Directors for their continuing enthusiasm and support. During 1994, shareholder values continued in the right direction with net income at $22.9 million, up a significant 13% over 1993. TrustCo's most important ratio, return on shareholders' equity, was 17.01%, up from 16.18% in 1993. We are committed to insuring that return on equity compares favorably in any peer group, and we are comfortable that it does. TrustCo's five year ROE was 16.78% and we plan an increase to 18% for the current fiscal year. During 1994, we increased our cash dividend by 10% and then issued a 10% stock dividend maintaining the increased cash dividend level on the newly issued shares, effectively increasing dividend income for TrustCo owners by 21%. The quarterly cash dividend has increased at a 25% compound annual rate over the last five years, a major accomplishment. It is our intention to continue monitoring our internal generation of capital; should excess capital exist, we would recommend steps to the Board to correct that situation. These steps could include special dividends, stock buy back, or any other measures that would return excess capital to TrustCo's owners. Daniel J. Rourke, M.D., retired from the Bank and Holding Company boards during 1994. We thank Dan for his many contributions over the years and wish him well in his retirement. I think it appropriate to thank all our Board members for their continued guidance throughout the year. We note with sorrow the passing of Herman R. Hill, Honorary Director, who served the Board with distinction for many years. Senior staff additions during 1994 include Robert T. Cushing, appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer about mid-year. Bob managed the banking practice at KPMG Peat Marwick for many years and adds an important level of experience to our senior management ranks. Henry C. Collins was appointed Vice President & General Counsel and Carroll E. Winch was named Administrative Vice President and Senior Trust Officer. These additions should add significant strength to our senior management. The TrustCo branch expansion program continues and we anticipate opening three additional branches during 1995. Our plans call for two to three branch openings a year until we have filled the gaps in our market territory. The targeted upgrading continues with each branch receiving a major review and renovation at approximately seven year intervals. During 1994, we evaluated and discussed a number of acquisition opportunities. Unfortunately, our discussions were not successful. Our approach to acquisitions is quite simple we are extremely careful to avoid damage to shareholder value in the existing TrustCo franchise. We would prefer that the benefits of an acquisition be shared by all the owners of the emerging company, and that does make for difficult negotiations on occasion. Since its inception, Trustco Bank has been a New York State chartered institution regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York State Banking Department. During the first quarter of 1995, we completed a change from our New York State charter to a national charter. We think changes in the industry suggest the most appropriate direction for the future is a national charter regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. TrustCo's Affordable Housing Program, which was designed to assist with homeownership, continues to be a success in new markets. We consider this program a model for community reinvestment and one of the most effective in the State. Occasionally, TrustCo has been described as "boring" because we are able to avoid most industry difficulties. Well, 1994 was another boring year during which we were able to benefit all important constituencies -- the owners, employees, and community. We expect to be equally tiresome in 1995. 1995 should provide income and growth success with emphasis continuing on the Home Equity Loan and Home Equity Credit Line products and our improved NOW account on the deposit side. Our Trust Department, which currently manages assets in excess of $630 million has ambitious expectations, and the impetus to move forward under new management. 1995 and beyond should benefit from the solid performance of the superb employee team here at TrustCo. For 1994 the often quoted efficiency ratio for our Company was 41.82% at a time when most banking companies would like to see 60.00%. This level of performance efficiency will benefit us through reduced operating expense for years to come. Net interest margins are another interesting ongoing benefit. During 1994, we recognized $8,877,000 of security losses and still had record net income. We have always described security losses as the deferral of income into future periods. To dramatize that point, net interest margin for the month of December 1993 was 3.78%. In December 1994 TrustCo's net interest margin was 4.63% and accelerating. This year-to-year increase of 85 basis points provides dramatic pre-tax income opportunities for the future. The quality of the loan portfolio is excellent, and our reserve for loan loss has a coverage ratio 14 times non-performing loans, an important area of reserve. Community needs have expanded and TrustCo has responded appropriately. TrustCo has provided increased employee and management participation in charitable and community organizations, increased its corporate charitable contributions throughout the Capital District, and our Affordable Housing Program continues to grow. We have an enthusiastic view of TrustCo's future. It is the intention at every level in the Company to continue our past success into the future. Our products are tailored to the needs of our community, we have an unmatched employee team to deliver them, and a management style that can adapt almost immediately to any change the marketplace may bring. Though we are not certain what the banking environment of the future will be, we are sure the combination mentioned above and the enthusiastic commitment of the Board of Directors will ensure our continuing success in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert A. McCormick
Robert A. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
The financial review which follows will focus on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company" or "TrustCo") and Trustco Bank, National Association (the "Bank" or "Trustco") during 1994 and, in summary form, the preceding two years. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented in this discussion on a taxable equivalent basis. Balances discussed are daily averages unless otherwise described. The consolidated financial statements and related notes and the quarterly reports to shareholders for 1994 should be read in conjunction with this review. Certain amounts in years prior to 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.
Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $22,888,000 or $1.54 per share for the year ended December 31, 1994, compared to $20,325,000 or $1.37 per share for the year ended December 31, 1993. This represents an increase of 13% in the full year earnings and a 12% increase in the per share results.
During 1994 TrustCo achieved:
* taxable equivalent net interest income of $81.1 million, an increase of almost 10% over 1993,
* a reserve coverage ratio of non-performing loans of 14 times. The reserves set aside for problem loans were 3.37% of loans at year end 1994, compared to 3.21% for 1993,
* an efficiency ratio of 41.82% for the year. Industry goals look for the attainment of a 60% efficiency ratio. TrustCo outperformed this ratio for both 1993 and 1994,
* an increase in the net interest margin from 4.04% in 1993 to 4.26% in 1994, the net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 1994 was 4.55%; and
* a dividend payout ratio of 64% of net income.
Net Interest Margin
1992 3.98% 1993 4.04% 1994 4.26%
Asset/Liability Management
TrustCo's objectives in managing its balance sheet are to manage the sensitivity of net interest income to actual or potential changes in interest rates and to enhance profitability through strategies that promise sufficient reward for understood and controlled risk. The Company has established guidelines for liquidity so as to maintain adequate levels in light of loan and deposit demands. TrustCo does not engage in any high risk investing activities nor does it invest in financial derivatives. The Company relies on traditional banking investment instruments and its large base of "core" deposits to help in asset/liability management.
Earning Assets
Average earning assets during 1994 were $1.9 billion, which is $68 million, or 4%, over the prior year. Increases in the balance of average earning assets is dependent on three factors:
* growth in funding sources (deposits and borrowings),
* movement of assets from non-earning to earning categories, and
* the internal generation of capital retained by the Company.
To account for the $68 million of growth in average earning assets, TrustCo increased the funding sources by $40 million, converted $20 million from non-earning asset categories, and retained $11 million in capital during 1994. A small amount of the growth in these areas was directed to a decrease of $4 million in various other liabilities.
The table, "Mix of Average Earning Assets" shows how the mix of the earning assets has changed over the last three years. While growth in earning assets is critical to improved profitability, changes to the mix of earning assets can also have a significant impact on profitability.
Loans: Average total loans increased $88.1 million, or 8.6% during 1994. Net loans grew from 55.7% of average earning assets in 1993 to 58.4% of average earning assets in 1994. The steady growth of the loan portfolio as a component of its asset mix, as well as the continued high quality of the portfolio, have contributed significantly to the Company's superior operating results for 1994.
Loan products related to residential real estate continued to exhibit significant growth during 1994. Average residential mortgage loan outstandings rose $99.3 million, or 18.0%, during 1994. TrustCo also continued to experience success in the marketing of home equity loans and home equity credit lines during the year.
The overwhelming majority of TrustCo's real estate loans are secured by properties within the Bank's market area. Management's specific knowledge of local market conditions and trends enhances the quality of the loan portfolio. During 1994, management continued its established practice of retaining all new real estate loan originations in the Bank's portfolio rather than packaging them for sale in the secondary mortgage market.
Average commercial loan and commercial real estate loan outstandings were largely unchanged during 1994. New loan originations were slightly outpaced by amortizations and problem loan resolutions, a portfolio trend reflective of general economic uncertainty.
TrustCo's commercial lending activities are focused on balancing the Company's commitment to meeting the credit needs of businesses within its market area with the necessity of maintaining a high quality loan portfolio. In accordance with these ideals, the Bank has consistently emphasized the origination of loans within its trade area. The portfolio contains no foreign loans, nor does it contain any concentrations of credit extended to any particular borrower or specific industry. The Bank's commercial portfolio is a reflection of the diversity found in the Capital Region's economy.
TrustCo continues to offer a full range of consumer credit products. However, as has been the case in the recent past, the unfavorable tax treatment of installment loan interest curbed demand in 1994. In addition, the artificially low rates offered by other lenders have affected origination volume for the year.
During 1994, the Bank commenced a program to promote its credit card products. This program, which combined aggressive marketing and attractive pricing, resulted in significant growth in credit card receivables during 1994.
Securities available for sale and investment securities: The Company adopted new accounting standards during 1994 for its securities portfolio. The Company has now identified securities available for sale and those securities that are for investment purposes and will be held to maturity. The following tables identify certain information related to these securities.
Securities Available for Sale: During 1994, the portfolio of securities available for sale was actively managed by the Company to take full advantage of the increases in interest rates available during that time period. At December 31, 1994, securities available for sale amounted to $117.5 million compared to $240.7 million at year-end 1993. Near the end of 1994, TrustCo liquidated a large portion of the securities available for sale and reinvested the proceeds in federal funds sold, which ended the year at $263.0 million, or $114.0 million more than the balance at year-end 1993.
For 1994, the average balance of securities available for sale was $337.1 million, almost double the average amount for 1993. The average rates earned during 1994 were 6.30% compared to 7.07% in 1993. During 1994, certain of the high coupon securities in this portfolio at year-end 1993 were disposed of. As noted earlier, the portfolio of securities available for sale was actively managed during 1994. Consequently, $8.9 million of securities losses were recognized as compared to securities gains of $6.2 million in 1993. The objective of recognizing these losses was to insure that the resulting portfolio of earning assets took advantage of the higher yields that were in the marketplace at year-end 1994. Management's actions resulted in an average yield on the securities available for sale portfolio for the fourth quarter of 1994 of 6.93%, compared to 5.81% for the comparable fourth quarter period in 1993. Absent these actions, the average yield in the year-end 1994 portfolio would have been significantly less, thereby resulting in lower future earnings. Therefore, these actions are consistent with the longstanding Company philosophy of taking actions designed to insure the future growth of net income.
This portfolio is heavily weighted to U.S. Treasuries and Agency obligations because these issuers provide a consistent source of liquidity for the bonds and are readily accepted from a credit risk perspective.
TrustCo has never invested in derivative products, structured notes or in any other exotic investment vehicles. By actively managing a portfolio of high quality securities the objectives of asset/liability management and liquidity can be met, while at the same time producing a constant earnings stream that meets or exceeds rates offered in the marketplace.
Securities available for sale are recorded at their fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, recognized as a component of shareholders' equity. At year-end 1994, the market value of Trustco's portfolio of securities available for sale was 99.94% of the amortized cost basis, thereby demonstrating an ability to take full advantage of the top of the current interest rate market.
During 1994, approximately $213 million of securities available for sale were transferred to the held to maturity investment securities portfolio. At the time of the transfer, the amortized cost of the securities transferred approximated market value.
Investment Securities: This portfolio had a balance of $347.9 million at year-end 1994 compared to $416.8 million at year-end 1993. The average balance of investment securities during 1994 was $250.8 million and produced an average yield of 6.81%, compared to an average balance in 1993 of $455.1 million and a yield of 6.48%.
At year end 1994, 42% of the investment securities portfolio was invested in U.S. Treasuries and Agency issues, 41% was invested in mortgage-backed securities (all of which are agency guaranteed), 13% was in municipal securities and the remainder in other bonds. Therefore, virtually all of the investment securities portfolio is supported by some form of U.S. Government or subdivision guarantee. All securities in the portfolio are investment grade securities.
Certain portions of income earned on certain commercial loans, U.S. Government obligations, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and equity securities are exempt from federal and state taxation. Appropriate adjustments have been made to reflect the equivalent amount of taxable income that would have been necessary to generate an equal amount of after tax income. Federal and New York State tax rates used to calculate income on a tax equivalent basis were 35.0 percent and 10.13 percent for 1994, 35.0 percent and 10.35 percent for 1993, and 34.0 percent and 10.35 percent for 1992. The average balances of securities available for sale is calculated using market values for these securities. For 1994, the average market value was $2.4 million greater than original costs.
Federal Funds Sold: During 1994, the average balance of these funds was $203.9 million up from the $163.6 million in 1993. The average rate earned on these funds was 4.44% for 1994, and 3.00% for 1993. TrustCo utilized this category of earning assets during 1994 as a means of keeping strong liquidity during the year as interest rates in the securities markets rose. Rather than invest this excess liquidity during 1994, the Company chose to invest these funds in overnight federal funds sold. This decision had the short term effect of suppressing the potential earnings for 1994, but positioned TrustCo to take advantage of higher interest rates offered near the end of 1994 and into 1995. The increase in federal funds balances during 1994 is not expected to continue during 1995 as the Company reinvests this excess liquidity into higher yielding securities.
Interest Bearing Sources of Funds: TrustCo utilizes various traditional sources of funds to support its asset portfolio. The following table "Average Sources of Funding" presents the various categories of funds used and the corresponding average balances for each of the last two years.
Deposits: The average of total deposits (including time deposits greater than $100 thousand) was $1.808 billion in 1994 compared to $1.768 billion in 1993. Deposit increases centered in the retail deposit categories of time deposit under $100 thousand (an increase of $39.1 million), and NOW accounts (an increase of $3.5 million). Growth was also experienced in time deposits greater than $100 thousand, which increased by $11.0 million. These increases were offset by decreases in average deposits in regular savings accounts ($3.8 million) and money market deposit accounts ($10.0 million). TrustCo experienced the same trend noted by other financial institutions, namely depositors switching from regular savings type accounts to time deposit products. This was an attempt by depositors to lock in higher rates than those offered on regular savings accounts. By year-end 1994, demand deposits, regular savings, NOW accounts, and money market accounts were down $79.0 million from year-end 1993, while all other deposit accounts increased $74.6 million. The average rate on deposit accounts was 3.50% in 1994, compared to 3.64% in 1993 and 4.74% in 1992. The dramatic reduction in rates from 1992 to 1994 more than offset the modest increases in average balances during this time period thereby producing interest expense that was $15.1 million less in 1994 than it was in 1992, and $848 thousand less than in 1993. For 1995, TrustCo anticipates interest expense to rise as competitive pressures and the depositors desire for higher rates becomes more of a reality. Mutual funds, and the stock and bond markets all compete with financial institutions for the same funds. TrustCo has developed plans for 1995 to add 3 new branches. These new retail outlets will provide new sources of funding and additional opportunities for cross selling to a new deposit base.
Maturity of 1994 Year end Time deposits over $100 thousand (in thousands)
Under 3 months $ 16,547 3 to 6 months 4,099 6 to 12 months 11,132 over 12 months 30,733 -------- $ 62,511
Other Funding Sources: The Company had $18.1 million of average short-term borrowings and $2.8 million of long-term debt outstanding during 1994. Total purchased liabilities (which includes time deposits over $100 thousand) was $69.6 million in 1994 compared to $59.0 million in 1993. The average rate on short-term borrowings was 2.54% in 1994 and 2.18% in 1993; the average rate on the long-term debt was 7.15% in 1994 and 9.22% in 1993.
Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income for 1994 was $81.1 million, up $7.1 million or 9.5% over 1993. The yield on average earning assets rose 6 basis points to 7.45% during the year while the rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities dropped 13 basis points to 3.50%. Together, this resulted in a 19 basis point increase in the net spread to 3.95%. While spread is an important consideration, net interest margin is generally viewed as the most significant measure of earning asset performance. The net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 4.26% during 1994.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The balance in the allowance for loan losses has been accumulated over the years through periodic provisions, and is available to absorb losses on loans which have been determined to be uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated continuously, with particular emphasis on non-performing and other loans that management believes warrant special attention. The balance of the allowance is maintained at a level that is, in management's judgment, representative of the amount of risk inherent in the loan portfolio given present and anticipated future conditions.
The table "Summary of Loan Loss Experience" includes an analysis of the changes to the allowance for the past five years. Loans charged off in 1994 were $4.8 million, compared to $6.7 million in 1993. Recoveries were $1.5 million in 1994, and $2.3 million in 1993. The provisions recorded in 1994 and 1993 were $8.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively.
Non-Performing Assets (in millions)
1992 $34.0 1993 $21.1 1994 $17.0
Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .30% in 1994 and .43% in 1993, while the allowance as a percentage of loans outstanding grew to 3.37% in 1994 from 3.21% in 1993. The Company has a policy of recognizing charge-offs early in a loan's deterioration and then aggressively pursuing collection efforts. This policy of early intervention has proven to be a cornerstone of the strong lending performance that TrustCo has achieved.
In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 1 14 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" which is effective for TrustCo for 1995. This statement prescribes recognition criteria for loan impairment and measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans whose terms have been the subject of a renegotiation. TrustCo will adopt the new pronouncement in 1995, and does not anticipate that it will have any material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company. A significant percentage of loans that have been identified as in-substance foreclosed real estate and included in real estate owned as of December 31, 1994, will be reclassified to loans under Statement 114.
Interest Rate Risk
Management of interest rate risk involves continual monitoring of the relative sensitivity of asset and liability portfolios to changes in rate due to maturities or repricing. Forecasting models are utilized to quantify the impact of changes in rates on the Company's net income. Specific targets for interest rate sensitivity have been established by the Company.
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing of assets and liabilities through maturity and interest rate changes. The objective is to maintain an appropriate balance between income growth and the risk associated with maximizing income through the mismatch of the timing of interest rate changes between assets and liabilities. Perfectly matching this funding can eliminate interest rate risk but net interest income is not always enhanced.
One measure of interest rate risk, the so called "gap," is illustrated in the table "Interest Rate Sensitivity."
The table measures the incremental and cumulative gap, or the difference between assets and liabilities subject to repricing during the periods indicated. For purposes of this analysis the maturity and repricing of loans is based on the stated maturity or earliest repricing date. For securities available for sale and investment securities, the earlier of average life or stated maturity is used. NOW, money market deposits and regular savings accounts are presented with a maturity or repricing cycle over the full interest rate cycle even though they are subject to immediate withdrawal. Time deposit accounts are presented based upon their maturity dates.
At December 31, 1994, the Company's gap position indicates an excess of assets repricing in the 0-90 day period of $462.9 million. This positive gap position is significantly enhanced by the $263.0 million federal funds balance at year end. The gap position turns negative in the 91 to 365 day period and in the 1 to 5 year period. This situation reflects the significant amount of time deposits that mature in these timebands. Over 5 years, the gap position again reflects an excess of repricing assets over liabilities of $490.3 million.
In evaluating interest rate sensitivity at year-end 1994, the Company would benefit from an increase in interest rates, as the Bank would be able to redeploy short-term assets that are repricing into higher yielding investments. Conversely, the Company would be negatively affected by a decrease in interest rates, since the assets that are repricing would do so at lower interest rates.
The Company's gap position is constantly under evaluation in relation to products, services and the marketplace. The positive gap position at year-end was designed by management to position the Bank to take full advantage of increased interest rates available at that time.
There are some shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the Interest Rate Sensitivity table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities have similar periods to maturity or to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset (certain annual caps and lifetime caps). Further, in the event of significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate increase. Management takes these factors into account when reviewing the Bank's gap position and establishing future asset/liability strategy.
Liquidity Risk
TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable sources of liabilities and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. In addition to serving as a funding source for maturing obligations, liquidity provides flexibility in responding to customer initiated needs. Many factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served by the TrustCo network of branches, the mix of assets and liabilities, and general economic conditions.
The Company actively manages its liquidity position through target ratios established under the Asset/Liability Management policies. Continual monitoring of these ratios, both historically and through forecasts under multiple interest rate scenarios, allows TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity levels. Management has also developed various liquidity alternatives should abnormal situations arise.
The Company achieves its liability-based liquidity objectives in a variety of ways. Net liabilities can be classified into three categories for the purposes of managing liability based liquidity; net core deposits, purchased money and capital market funds. TrustCo seeks deposits that are dependable and predictable, ones that are based as much on interest rate as they are on the level and quality of service. At December 31, 1994, core deposits representing total deposits less those deposits greater than $100,000, amounted to $1.727 billion. Average balances of core deposits are detailed in the table "Average Sources of Funding."
In addition to core deposits another funding source available to TrustCo is purchased money. These are principally long and short term borrowings, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and time deposits greater than $100,000. The average balances of these purchased money instruments are detailed in the table "Average Sources of Funding." During 1994 the average balance in purchased money instruments was $69.6 million, in 1993 it was $59.0 million and in 1992 it was $75.1 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Commitments to extend credit: TrustCo makes contractual commitments to extend credit and extends lines of credit, which are subject to the Bank's credit approval and monitoring procedures. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 commitments to extend credit in the form of loans, including unused lines of credit amounted to $217.3 million and $200.9 million respectively. In the opinion of management, there are no material commitments to extend credit that represent unusual risk.
Letters of credit and standby letters of credit: TrustCo guarantees the obligations or performance of customers by issuing letters of credit and standby letters of credit to third parties. These letters of credit are frequently issued in support of third party debt, such as corporate debt issuances, industrial revenue bonds and municipal securities. The risk involved in issuing letters of credit and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and they are subject to the same credit origination, portfolio maintenance and management procedures in effect to monitor other credit and off balance sheet products. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 outstanding letters of credit and standby letters of credit were approximately $20.8 million and $21.4 million respectively.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Risk: TrustCo does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, options or any other instrument commonly referred to as a "derivative." Management believes these instruments pose a high degree of risk and that investing in them is unnecessary.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income is a significant source of revenue for the Company and an important factor in the overall results for the year. Total noninterest income was $4.6 million for 1994 compared to $19.2 million in 1993. Included in the 1994 results are $8.9 million of securities losses compared to securities gains of $6.2 million during the comparable period in 1993. Excluding these securities transactions, noninterest income would have been $13.4 million and $12.9 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. As noted earlier, these securities losses for 1994 were realized in an effort to maintain the available for sale portfolio at the year-end higher interest rates. Therefore, future periods will benefit from these enhanced rates.
The Trust Department contributes the largest recurring portion of noninterest income through fees generated by the performance of fiduciary services. Income from these fiduciary activities totalled $4.9 million in 1994 and $4.3 million in 1993. This increase was the result of changes in the fees charged on trust accounts.
The changes in the other categories of noninterest income reflect the fee scale used by the Bank for pricing its services.
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense was $40.6 million in 1994, $43.5 million in 1993 and $42.8 million in 1992. TrustCo's operating philosophy stresses the importance of monitoring and controlling the level of noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio is a strong indicator of how well controlled and monitored these expenses are for a banking enterprise. The TrustCo efficiency ratio was 41.82% for 1994, 44.63% for 1993 and 51.96% for 1992.
Salaries and employee benefits are the most significant component of noninterest expense. At year-end 1994, these expenses amounted to $18.3 million compared to $16.6 million and $15.9 million for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflect merit increases and raises given to the Bank staff. In addition, increased costs for benefits, such as health insurance and retirement benefits, account for the remainder of the increase.
Expenses associated with the portfolio of other real estate decreased from $4.7 million in 1993 to $1.0 million in 1994. During 1993 the Company recognized significant write-downs and expenses associated with other real estate properties so as to facilitate their eventual disposition.
Continued operating efficiency is a cornerstone to TrustCo's operating philosophy. TrustCo is committed to continuing cost control and to the reduction of noninterest expense where possible.
Efficiency Ratio 1992 51.96% 1993 44.63% 1994 41.82%
Income Tax
In 1994, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $12.6 million as compared to $12.5 million in 1993 and $9.3 million in 1992. The tax expense on the Company's income was lower than tax expense at the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax exempt income and other permanent differences.
Prior to January 1, 1993, when it adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company accounted for income taxes under APB No. 11. Statement 109, which calls for an asset/liability, or balance sheet approach in determining income tax expense, has changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from that required under ABP No. 11, which had been the deferred method or income statement approach. Adoption of the new accounting literature did not have any material impact on the results of operation for the year of adoption.
Capital Resources
Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios. New issues of equity securities have not been required, since most of the Company's capital requirements have been provided through retained earnings.
Part of the operating philosophy of TrustCo is that the Company will not retain any excess capital. All capital that is generated by the Company that is in excess of the levels considered by management to be necessary for the safe and sound operations of the Company will be distributed to the shareholders in the form of recurring or special cash dividends. Consequently, the capital ratios that are maintained are adequate but not excessive. This philosophy has led to a dividend payout ratio for 1994 of 63.71%, 1993 of 57.93% and 1992 of 51.05%. These are significant payouts to the Company shareholders and are considered by management to be a prudent use of the retained capital in TrustCo. As to the likelihood of future dividends, the philosophy stated above will continue into 1995 and where appropriate the Board of Directors will declare dividends consistent with that operating philosophy.
Dividends Per Share
1992 $0.62 1993 $0.80 1994 $0.98
At December 31, 1994 TrustCo's Tier 1 capital was $139.3 million or 12.08% of risk adjusted assets. The Tier 1 capital to total assets or the leverage ratio at December 31, 1994 was 7.05% as compared to 6.59% in 1993 and 6.19% in 1992. At December 31, 1994 the subsidiary bank, Trustco Bank met the regulatory definition of a "well capitalized" institution.
The Bank has converted to a nationally chartered bank, and in early 1995 changed its legal name to Trustco Bank, National Association. All of the current operations of the Bank are consistent with those allowed of a nationally chartered bank. Therefore, management does not believe that the operations will be inhibited in any fashion. The national charter allows the Bank to streamline its regulatory process by having the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as the primary bank regulator.
As mentioned earlier, Trustco will be expanding its branch network by three locations in 1995. It is not anticipated that additional capital will be required to support this expansion program. Likewise, operating costs during 1995 can be expected to rise modestly as a result of these new branches, but will be offset by the additional revenue the new branches will generate.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increasing costs of operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation, since interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.
Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards
ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS: On January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." In implementing the new accounting standard, the Company recorded a one time transition charge of $3.3 million, net of tax benefits, which is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES: On January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Statement 109 significantly changed the method of accounting for income taxes for financial statement purposes without affecting the actual cash tax liability. In adopting Statement 109, the Company elected not to restate prior period financial results. The implementation of Statement 109 had no material impact on the 1993 results of operations. The Company's complete disclosure related to Statement 109 is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN: In May 1993, Statement 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" was issued. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994 (for TrustCo this statement will be effective for 1995). This Statement requires that an impaired loan be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, for a loan whose repayment is collateral dependent, based on the collateral's observable market price. The Statement also narrows the application of the concept of in-substance foreclosures to situations where the creditor has received physical possession of the debtor's collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. The adoption of Statement 114 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operation of the Company. Upon adoption, a significant percentage of the loans identified at year-end 1994 as in-substance foreclosures will be reclassified into the loan portfolio.
ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES. The Company adopted Statement 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" effective January 1, 1994. Upon adoption of Statement 115, the Company identified securities that are "available for sale" and those that are "held to maturity" (the Company has no trading account assets as prescribed by Statement 115). Securities classified as available for sale are those that can be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, liquidity requirements, or other investment alternatives. Securities classified as held to maturity are not available for sale and are held until contractual maturity or call. Securities available for sale are recorded at market value with the unrealized appreciation and depreciation, net of tax, recorded as an element of shareholders' equity. Securities identified as held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost.

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, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" which changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. As discussed in notes 1 and 8 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 9 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and financial reporting policies of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (Company or TrustCo) and Trustco Bank, National Association (Bank or Trustco) 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. The Bank has converted to a national banking association from the previous charter as a state banking association. Upon conversion, the Bank changed its name to TRUSTCO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. The conversion was finalized during the first quarter of 1995 and will have no effect on the Bank's operations.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
Securities Available for Sale
Securities available for sale are carried at market value (for 1994) and lower of cost or market (for 1993) with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation of value, net of tax, (for 1994) included as an element of the capital accounts. Management maintains an available for sale portfolio in order to provide maximum flexibility in future balance sheet management. The designation of available for sale is made at the time of purchase based upon management's intent to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. These securities, however, would be available for sale in response to changes in market interest rates, related changes in liquidity needs or changes in the availability of and yield on alternative investments. Unrealized losses on securities that reflect a decline in value which is other than temporary, if any, are charged to income. Nonmarketable equity securities (principally stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank) are included in securities available for sale at cost since there is no readily available market value.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are based on the amortized cost of the specific security sold.
Investment Securities
Securities classified as investment securities are held to maturity to meet longer term investment objectives, including yield and liquidity purposes. At the time of purchase, securities are identified as held for investment based upon the Company's intention and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts on a method that equates to the level yield. Unrealized losses on securities that reflect a decline in value which is other than temporary, if any, are charged to income.
Loans
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding net of unearned income and unamortized loan fees and costs, which are amortized into income over the applicable loan period.
Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, restructured loans and loans which are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status, either due to the delinquency status of principal and/or interest payments, or a judgment by management that, although payments of principal and/or interest are current such action is prudent. Future payments received on non-performing loans are recorded as interest income or principal reductions based upon management's ultimate expectation for collections.
Allowance for Loan Losses
An allowance for 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 loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed on either the straightline or accelerated methods over the remaining useful lives of the assets.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned includes assets received from foreclosures and in-substance foreclosures. A loan is considered an in-substance foreclosure when little or no equity of the borrower 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.
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.
Dividend Restrictions
Banking regulations restrict the amount of cash dividends which may be paid during a year by the Bank to the Parent Company without the written consent of the appropriate bank regulatory agency. Based on these restrictions, the Bank could pay $29.8 million plus 1995 net profits. For all practical purposes, TrustCo could not declare dividends to shareholders materially in excess of the aggregate amount of dividends that could be paid by the Bank.
Pension Plan
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. The cost of this program is being funded currently.
Reclassification of Prior Year Statements
It is the Company's policy to reclassify prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
(2) Balances at Other Banks
The Bank is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of this reserve requirement, included in cash and due from banks, was approximately $14,576,000 and $15,986,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(3) Securities Available for Sale
The amortized cost and approximate market value of the securities available for sale are as follows:
The anticipated maturity schedule of amortized cost and market value of securities available for sale at December 31, 1994, follows:
Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale during 1994 and 1993 were approximately $1,015,688,000, and $99,475,000, respectively. During 1992 there were no sales of securities available for sale.
The gross realized gains on sales of securities available for sale in 1994 and 1993 were approximately $5,799,000 and $5,867,000, respectively.
Gross realized losses on the sales of securities available for sale in 1994 and 1993 were $14,682,000 and $2,000, respectively.
The amortized cost of securities available for sale that have been pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law amounted to $44,430,000, and $41,219,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(4) Investment Securities
The book value and approximate market value of the investment securities are as follows:
The anticipated maturity schedule of book values and market values of investment securities at December 31, 1994 follows:
The maturity of mortgage-backed securities is based on the security's average life. There were no sales of investment securities during 1994. Proceeds from sales of investment securities during 1993 and 1992 were $1,877,000 and $107,639,000, respectively. Gross realized gains on sales of equity instruments in 1993 were approximately $229,000.The gross realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities in 1992 were $3,346,000. Gross realized losses on sales of equity instruments in 1993 were approximately $21,000. Gross realized losses on the sales and calls of debt instruments for 1992 were $407,000.
The book value of investment securities pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law amounted to $135,050,000, and $85,634,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as of January 1, 1994. The Company classified certain of the investment securities as being available for sale and reclassified these balances to a separate line on the consolidated statement of condition. Securities included in the available for sale category may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates and related changes in a security's prepayment risk, needs for liquidity, changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative investments or changes in funding sources and terms. These securities are recorded at market value with any net unrealized gains (losses) shown as a component of shareholders' equity.
In addition, the Company has identified a portfolio of investment securities which are being held to maturity. In accordance with Statement 115 these securities cannot be sold except in very limited circumstances as described in the Statement.
(5) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, loans to executive officers, directors and to associates of such persons aggregated $7,641,000 and $11,163,000, respectively. During 1994, new loans of $4,638,000 were made and repayments of loans totalled $8,160,000. In the opinion of management, such loans were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions. These loans do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
TrustCo primarily lends in the Capital District region of New York State and in the geographic territory surrounding its borders. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a substantial portion of its debtors ability to repay is dependent upon the economic conditions existing in New York State.
The following table sets forth the information with regard to non-performing loans:
Interest on non-accrual and restructured loans of $222 thousand, $1 thousand and $79 thousand, would have been earned in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loans in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Approximately $35 thousand, $1 thousand and $61 thousand of interest on non-accrual and restructured loans was collected and recognized as income in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. There are no commitments to extend further credit on non-accrual or restructured loans.
Transactions in the allowance for loan losses accounts are summarized as follows:
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." Statement 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. Statement 114 will be adopted effective January 1, 1995. At that time, a significant amount of the assets currently identified as in- substance foreclosures will be reclassified to loans, and, for the most part, included in the category of impaired loans. Other than this reclassification of the balances of in-substance foreclosure loans, the adoption of Statement 114 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the results of operations of the Company.
There are $8.4 million and $11.4 million of loans pledged for various purposes at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(6) Bank Premises and Equipment
A summary of premises and equipment at December 31, 1994 and 1993 follows:
Depreciation and amortization expense approximated $2,749,000, $2,373,000 and $2,245,000 for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Occupancy expense of Bank premises included rental expense of $1,053,000, $1,388,000 and $1,430,000 for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
(7) Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings, consisting primarily of Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with maturities of generally less than ninety days, was as follows:
The Company has available $202.3 million of unused lines of credit at December 31, 1994.
(8) 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 APB11. Under APB 11, deferred tax expense (benefit) resulted from timing differences in the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109. The effect of adoption was not material to the financial statements.
The sources of these differences and the tax effect for 1992 follows:
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1994 and 1993 is 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:
In addition to the deferred tax asset described in the preceding table, the Company also has a deferred tax asset of $29,000 relating to the unrealized loss on securities available for sale.
(9) Employee Benefits
The Company maintains a trusteed non-contributory pension plan covering employees that have completed one year of employment and 1,000 hours. 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 plan 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, 1994 and 1993:
The actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations and the net pension costs were as follows:
The Company also has an unfunded defined contribution supplementary pension plan under which additional retirement benefits are accrued for eligible senior and executive officers. The expense recorded for this plan was $1,780,000, $489,000 and $392,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Company provides a profit-sharing plan for substantially all employees. The expense of this plan, which is based on management discretion as defined in the plan, amounted to $1,230,000, in 1994, $1,470,000 in 1993, and $1,344,000 in 1992.
The Company also has an executive incentive plan. The expense of this plan is based on the Bank's performance and estimated distributions to participants are accrued during the year and generally paid in the following year. The expense recorded for this plan was $1,291,000, $419,000 and $393,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992 respectively.
Under the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan the following table presents a summary of activity with respect to this plan:
Under the terms of the Directors' Stock Option Plan, 110,000 shares are reserved for director options. As of December 31, 1994, 34,100 options remain issued and outstanding with an average exercise price of $19.83.
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, the Bank provides a Medicare Supplemental Program to retirees.
Since these benefits are currently being provided, the Company adopted Statement 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, 1994 and 1993:
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993 includes the following components:
Expense for 1993 related to the transition obligation was $5.3 million, with an after-tax cost of $3.3 million. Periodic benefit cost amounted to $467 thousand for 1993. 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. Assets of the plan are primarily invested in common stock and fixed income common funds administered by the Bank.
The trust holding the plan assets is subject to federal income taxes at a 35.0 percent tax rate. The expected long term rate of return on plan assets, after estimated income taxes was 4.2 percent and 3.3 percent for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
For measurement purposes, a 12 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) was assumed for 1994; 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, 1994, by approximately $1.4 million, and the aggregate of the service and the interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1994, by approximately $274 thousand. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75 percent at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
(10) Lease Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
(A) LEASES
The Bank leases certain banking premises. These leases are accounted for as operating leases 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.
(11) Off-Balance-Sheet Financing
Loan 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 a fee.
Commitments sometimes expire without being drawn upon, therefore the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Bank's normal credit policies including obtaining collateral. The Bank's exposure to credit loss for loan commitments including unused lines of credit outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $217.3 million and $200.9 million, respectively.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Bank's normal credit policies including the obtaining of collateral. The Bank's exposure to credit loss for standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $20.8 million and $21.4 million, respectively. No losses are anticipated as a result of loan commitments or standby letters of credit.
(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values shown below represent management's estimates of values at which the various types of financial instruments could be exchanged in transactions between willing, unrelated parties. They do not necessarily represent amounts that would be received or paid in actual trades of specific financial instruments.
The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values ascribed to financial instruments. Following is a brief summary of the significant methods and assumptions used in the above table:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying values of these financial instruments approximates fair values.
Securities
Fair values for all securities portfolios are based upon quoted market prices, where available. The carrying value of certain local, unrated municipal obligations was used as an approximation of fair value.
Loans
The fair values of all loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The carrying value of all variable rate certificates of deposit is assumed to approximate fair value. The fair value of all other fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar size and remaining maturity. At December 31, 1994, the fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit are assumed to equal carrying value due to the interest rate environment at year-end 1994.
Borrowings and Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of all borrowings and other financial instruments is assumed to be the carrying value.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Such financial instruments consist of commitments to extend financing and letters of credit. If the commitments are exercised by the prospective borrowers, these financial instruments will become interest-earning assets of the Company. If the commitments expire, the Company retains any fees paid by the prospective borrower. The fair value of commitments is estimated based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit-worthiness of the borrower. For fixed rate commitments, the fair value estimation takes into consideration an interest rate risk factor. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items at December 31, 1994 and 1993 approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees, which are considered to be immaterial.
The Company has no derivative investment products at year-end 1994 and 1993, nor has the Company ever invested in such investment vehicles. Therefore, the disclosures as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119 "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" is not presented except as it relates to fair value disclosures in this footnote.

Independent Auditors' Report ------------------------------------
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, 1994 and 1993, 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, 1994. 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, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three- year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 8 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.
