Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
 
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio by type and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”
 
In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
 
When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether management intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI on debt securities shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 306 securities, 52 of which were in an unrealized loss position, and are discussed below.
 
Mortgage-backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations - Residential
 
At June 30, 2011, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily GNMA (Ginnie Mae), FNMA (Fannie Mae) and FHLMC (Freddie Mac), institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.
 
Other Securities
 
At June 30, 2011, the Company has unrealized losses on U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, state and political subdivisions and corporate bonds. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.
 
As a result of the above analysis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses for credit or any other reason.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing interest.  As a result, non-accrual loans includes all loans 90 days past due and greater as well as certain loans less than 90 days past due that were placed in non-accruing status for reasons other than delinquent status.  The $5.4 million increase during the quarter in Florida commercial real estate 60-89 days past due is a loan already in non-accruing status.

Approximately $11 thousand, and $12 thousand of interest on nonaccrual and restructured loans was collected and recognized as income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and approximately $22 thousand and $24 thousand of interest on nonaccrual and restructured loans was collected and recognized as income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  There are no commitments to extend further credit on nonaccrual or restructured loans.

The Company identifies impaired loans and measures the impairment in accordance with “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (FASB ASC 310-10-35). A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). These standards are applicable principally to commercial and commercial real estate loans; however, certain provisions dealing with restructured loans also apply to retail loan products. A loan for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered a TDR and is classified as impaired. TDR’s, which are included in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are measured at the present  value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans includes the year-to-date average of all impaired loans.

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as impaired.

Management evaluates impairment on commercial and commercial real estate loans that are past due as well as in situations where circumstances dictate that an evaluation is prudent.  If, during this evaluation, impairment of the loan is identified, a charge-off is taken at that time.  As a result, as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, based upon management's evaluation and due to the sufficiency of chargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to a specific impaired loan(s).

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  On at least an annual basis, the Company's loan review process analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk.  The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans:

Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company's credit position at some future date.

Substandard:  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  All substandard loans are considered impaired.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios.  Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Bank's collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  The payment status of these homogeneous pools at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of past due loans table.  In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is presented in the recorded investment in non-accrual loans table.

6.  Fair Value
 
 
Fair value measurements (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
 
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
 
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
 
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the value that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities:
 
 
Securities Available for Sale: Securities available for sale are fair valued utilizing an independent pricing service for identical assets or significantly similar securities. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows. This results in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual method and included in the income statement in the respective investment class under total interest income. Also classified as available for sale securities are equity securities where fair value is determined by quoted market prices and these are designated as Level 1.
 
 
Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of other real estate owned is determined by use of appraisals, comparable sales and property valuation techniques. This results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the majority of other real estate owned consisted of residential real estate property.
 
 
Impaired Loans:  Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral and takes into consideration the costs necessary to dispose of the property. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 input based on the discounting of the collateral measured by appraisals. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, impaired loan consisted primarily of loans secured by commercial real estate.

The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values of financial instruments. Following is a brief summary of the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair values.

Securities
Securities available for sale and held to maturity are fair valued utilizing an independent pricing service. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids and quotes of significantly similar securities and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows.

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, interest bearing checking 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 approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit is 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.

Short-Term Borrowings and Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of all short-term borrowings, and other financial instruments approximates 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 standby 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 creditworthiness 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 approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees, which are considered to be immaterial.

 
28


The Company does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or any other instruments commonly referred to as derivatives.

7.   Subsequent Events

On July 6, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of 15,640,000 shares of common stock, $1 par value per share.  The 15,640,000 shares included 2,040,000 additional shares of common stock as a result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option.  The common stock was sold at $4.60 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were $68.1 million before direct offering costs.

8. Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The provisions of this update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
 
29

 
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The provisions of this update are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The FASB believes the guidance in this ASU will improve financial reporting by creating greater consistency in the way GAAP is applied for various types of debt restructurings.  The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings.  In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) Topic 310, Receivables, clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The adoption of this update will result in additional disclosures in the interim and annual consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TrustCo Bank Corp NY
Glenville, New York

 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY as of June 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in shareholders equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Forward-looking Statements
Statements included in this report and in future filings by TrustCo Bank Corp NY (“TrustCo” or the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in TrustCo’s press releases, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, which are not historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of such words as may, will, should, could, would, estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions.  TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

In addition to the factors described under Item 1A, Risk Factors, the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect TrustCo’s actual results, and could cause TrustCo’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement:

•           Credit risk,

•           The effects of and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rates, market and monetary fluctuations.

•           Competition,

•           The effect of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxation, banking and securities).

•           Real estate and collateral values,

•           Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

•           Changes in local market areas and general business and economic trends,

•           The matters described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in our subsequent securities filings.

The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Following this discussion is the table "Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential" which gives a detailed breakdown of TrustCo's average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Introduction
The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, with comparisons to 2010 as applicable.  Net interest margin is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion.  The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders should be read in conjunction with this review.  Amounts in prior period consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

Financial markets continued to present mixed messages during the second quarter of 2011.  Equity markets were generally strong, with the S&P 500 Index up 5.0% during the period, with somewhat greater volatility than in the first quarter.  Credit markets  continued to show significant volatility during the quarter, with interest rates generally down from March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011.  For example, the 10 year Treasury yield declined 29 basis points to 3.18%.  The target Fed Funds range remained unchanged at zero to 0.25% during the second quarter.

Underlying national economic conditions remain subdued, with persistent issues in regard to unemployment and continued high levels of financial leverage in some sectors.  The housing market remains troubled and issues regarding home foreclosures remain prominent topics of discussion in the media and within government.  Federal deficits and debt levels have received significant political and media attention, and sovereign fiscal issues in a number of nations, including Greece, Ireland, Spain and others have caused significant uncertainty in financial markets worldwide.

The pace of bank failures has remained elevated thus far in 2011, though down from 2010 levels, with the focus mostly on smaller institutions.  Most closures have been the result of capital and asset quality problems, rather than the liquidity issues that resulted in the failures and near-failures of some of the largest financial institutions in the world during the initial phase of the financial crisis.  The 2008 through early 2010 period saw unprecedented intervention by governments in markets and the financial services industry as the United States saw the two largest bank failures in its history in 2008 as well as failures of other major financial institutions, forced mergers and massive government bailouts.    The United States Government responded to these events with legislation, including the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which authorized the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2010 (“ARRA”) more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package, which was intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), implemented a variety of major initiatives, including a sharp easing of monetary policy and direct intervention in a number of financial markets, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Treasury Department and other bank regulatory agencies also instituted a wide variety of programs.  The FRB has lowered its expectations for economic recovery in the United States and many economists have done the same with regard to forecasts for the remainder of 2011 as well as 2012.  The overhang of significant loan and asset quality problems, as well as uncertainty regarding the eventual need for the FRB to move away from its easy money policy and the need for the FRB and other elements of the government to withdraw various supporting mechanisms remain concerns for both the economy and financial markets.  Although the FRB’s quantitative easing program ended in June of 2011 in terms of adding to its positions, it continues to maintain its positions.  It is not clear how aggressive the government will be in unwinding some of the programs that are now in place, if any of those programs are to be unwound at all.  The federal government, primarily through the Treasury Department and the federal banking agencies, is also implementing the financial reform bill, the “Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act.”), which will likely have a significant impact on the financial services industry.  Regulatory changes that are likely to be implemented in the coming months are expected to reduce interchange revenues that banks currently earn.

TrustCo’s believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services has enabled the Company to avoid significant impact from asset quality problems and that the Company’s strong liquidity and solid capital positions have allowed the Company to continue to conduct business in a manner consistent with its past practice.  TrustCo has not engaged in the types of high risk loans and investments that have led to the widely reported problems in the industry.  Nevertheless, the Company has experienced an increase in nonperforming loans, although management believes the level remains manageable.   While the Company does not expect to see a significant increase in the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolios at June 30, 2011, should general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment, in the Company’s market areas deteriorate, the Company may experience an increase in the level of risk and in its classified loans.

In addition, the natural flight to quality that occurs in financial crises as investors focus on the safest possible investments, cuts in targeted interest rates and liquidity injections by the Federal government have all served to reduce yields available on both short term liquidity (Fed Funds and other short term investments) as well as the low risk types of securities typically invested in by the Company.  During the quarter, the slope of the yield curve was relatively positive, but there was some compression of the slope compared to the first quarter of 2011.  The slope of the curve, as measured by the difference between the 10 year Treasury and the 2 year Treasury, averaged 2.64% in the second quarter of 2011, down 12 basis points from the average level during the first quarter.  The future course of interest rates is subject to significant uncertainty, as various indicators are providing contradicting signals.  For example, the FRB’s quantitative easing through June 2011 was designed to maintain low interest rates, but the end of the quantitative easing program and the sheer volume of government financing expected in the coming quarters may lead to increased rates.  Potentially offsetting these issues is that Treasuries continue to be viewed as a safe haven by many investors around the world, with their demand serving to dampen any upward pressure on yields.  Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act creates additional uncertainty for the Company and the Bank. This law significantly changes the current bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.

The level of home foreclosures nationally remains an area of intense political and media interest.  Recently, there have been instances of foreclosures where the paperwork or process may not have met legal requirements.  Much of this has been related to mortgages that were sold one or more times, and in many cases were eventually securitized.  The changes of ownership and the securitization process may have contributed to the reported errors that have been uncovered.  Also recently, efforts by mortgage servicers and secondary market purchasers of mortgage loans to require mortgage originators to repurchase troubled loans have also increased. TrustCo’s mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans it and its employees have originated and serviced.  Files with the relevant documents are retained and monitored by staff members on Bank premises.  As a result, management believes the Company is unlikely to be significantly affected by errors in foreclosing on its mortgage loans.  In addition, because TrustCo generally originates loans to be held in its portfolio, the exposure that can come with being forced to buy back nonperforming loans that have been sold is limited.

Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $7.8 million, or $0.100 of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $7.1 million or $0.093 of diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2010.

For the first half of 2011, TrustCo recorded net income of $15.1 million, or $0.196 of diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income of $14.1 million or $0.183 of diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2010.

The primary factors accounting for the change for three and six-month periods through June 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year were:

 
·
An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $258.4 million to $3.94 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and an increase of $285.2 million for the first half of 2010 as compared to the prior year,

 
·
An increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities of $230.5 million to $3.50 billion for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010, and an increase of $262.7 million for the second half of 2010, compared to the prior year,

 
·
An decrease in net interest margin for the second quarter of 2011 to 3.47% from 3.51% in the prior year, while the margin for the first half of the year declined 14 basis points to 3.43%.  The quarter over quarter decline in the margin partly offset the beneficial impact of the increase in average earning assets, resulting in an increase of $1.9 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

·
A decrease in the provision for loan losses to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 and a decrease to $9.5 million from $11.8 million in the provision in the first half of 2011, compared to the prior year period.  The decline in both the three and six month periods versus the prior year reflect a number of factors, with the most significant being reductions in net chargeoffs of $4.4 million for both periods.

 
·
A decrease of $686 thousand in net gains on securities transactions for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to same period in 2010, and a decrease of $403 thousand in the first half of 2011 compared to the prior year period.

 
·
An increase of $1.0 million in noninterest expense, excluding net other real estate expenses, for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010 and an increase of $2.1 million for the first half of 2011 compared to the prior year, and

 
·
An increase of $1.3 million in net other real estate expense for the second  quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 and an increase of $938 thousand for the first half of 2011 compared to the prior year period.

Asset/Liability Management
The Company strives to generate its earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning assets.  Additionally, TrustCo attempts to maintain adequate liquidity and reduce the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates to an acceptable level while enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long-term basis.

TrustCo’s results are affected by a variety of factors including competitive and economic conditions in the specific markets in which the Company operates and more generally in the national economy, financial market conditions and the regulatory environment.  Each of these is dynamic and changes in any area can have an impact on TrustCo’s results.  Included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2010 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2010 compared to 2009.  Many of the same market factors discussed in the 2010 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on the quarterly and year to date results for 2011.

TrustCo competes with other financial service providers based upon many factors including quality of service, convenience of operations, and rates paid on deposits and charged on loans.  In the experience of management, the absolute level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and customers’ expectations with respect to the direction of interest rates have a significant impact on the volume of loan and deposit originations in any particular period.

Interest rates have a significant impact on the operations and financial results of all financial services companies. One of the most important interest rates used to implement national economic policy is the “Federal Funds” rate. This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating. The Federal Funds target rate decreased from 4.25% at the beginning of 2008 to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008, with the reductions occurring throughout the year. The target range has not been changed since.  Traditionally interest rates on bank deposit accounts are heavily influenced by the Federal Funds rate.  Deposit rates continued to decline in the second quarter of 2011 relative to prior periods, but the pace of the decline slowed.  Please refer to the statistical disclosures in the table below entitled “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential.”

The interest rate on the 10 year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates has a significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans. The Federal Reserve Board has attempted to influence rates on mortgage loans by means other than targeting a lower Federal Funds rate, including direct intervention in the mortgage-backed securities market, through purchasing these securities in an attempt to raise prices and reduce yields.  Eventually, management believes, the FRB will have to unwind these positions, by selling mortgage-backed securities, which would likely have the opposite effect, putting upward pressure on rates, although other factors may mitigate this pressure.  Increases in energy and commodities during the first half of 2011 may increase inflation concerns, which would also put upward pressure on rates and downward pressure on the securities prices.  These changes in interest rates have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities, and Federal Funds sold and other short term instruments as well as on interest expense on deposits and borrowings.

The principal loan product for TrustCo is residential real estate loans.  As noted above, residential real estate loans and longer-term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10 year Treasury. As noted previously, the 10 year Treasury yield, while fluctuating during the quarter, is at a very low level relative to historical yields.

Interest rates on new residential real estate loan originations are also influenced by the rates established by secondary market participants such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.  Because TrustCo is a portfolio lender and does not generally sell loans into the secondary market, the Company establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive with the secondary market rates.  Financial market volatility and the problems faced by the financial services industry have somewhat lessened the influence of the secondary market, however various programs initiated by arms of the Federal government have had an impact on rate levels for certain products.  Most importantly, a government goal of keeping mortgage rates low has been supported by targeted buying of certain securities, thus supporting prices and constraining yields, as noted above.

The Federal Funds sold portfolio and other short term investments are affected primarily by changes in the Federal Funds target rate. Also, changes in interest rates have an effect on the recorded balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, which is recorded at fair value. Generally, as interest rates increase the fair value of these securities will decrease.

 
37


Interest rates generally remained below historic norms on both short term and longer term investments.  As noted, deposit costs have generally continued to decline over the second quarter of 2011, although the rate of decline has slowed.

While TrustCo has been affected somewhat by aspects of the overall changes in financial markets, it has not been affected to the degree the mortgage crisis has affected some banks and financial institutions in the United States.  Generally, the crisis revolves around actual and anticipated higher levels of delinquencies and defaults on mortgage loans, in many cases arising, in management’s view, from lenders with overly liberal underwriting standards, changes in the types of mortgage loans offered, significant upward resets on adjustable rate loans and fraud, among other factors.  The Company utilizes a traditional underwriting process in evaluating loan applications, and since originated loans are retained in portfolio there is a strong incentive to be conservative in making credit decisions.  For additional information concerning TrustCo’s loan portfolio and non-performing loans, please refer to the discussions under “Loans” and “Nonperforming Assets,” respectively.  Further, the Company does not rely on borrowed funds to support its assets and maintains a very significant level of liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet.  These characteristics provide the Company with increased flexibility and stability during periods of market disruption.

For the second quarter of 2011, the net interest margin was 3.47%, down 4 basis points versus the prior year quarter.  The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors:

-
The average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments increased by $36.6 million while the average yield remained flat at 25 basis points in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  The increase in the average balance reflects the strong growth of deposit account balances, the lack of attractive longer term investment opportunities, and the Company’s intent to maintain additional liquidity.
-
The average balance of securities available for sale and held-to-maturity securities  increased by $135.1 million and the average yield decreased to 2.92% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 3.71% for the same period in 2010.  Within the total securities portfolio, the available-for-sale portfolio increased by $212.7 million, while the held-to-maturity portfolio decreased by $77.6 million.
-
The average loan portfolio grew by $86.7 million to $2.39 billion and the average yield decreased 17 basis points to 5.38% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  The decline in the average yield primarily reflects the decline in market interest rates on new loan originations as older, higher rate loans pay down.
-
The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) increased $230.5 million and the average rate paid decreased 38 basis points to 0.76% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  The decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities reflects the decline in market interest rates and changes in competitive conditions.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company continued to focus on its strategy to expand the loan portfolio by offering competitive interest rates as the rate environment changed.  Management believes the TrustCo residential real estate loan product is very competitive compared to local and national competitors.  As noted, the widespread disruptions in the mortgage market as a result of the financial crisis have not had a significant impact on TrustCo, partly because the Company has not originated the types of loans that have been responsible for many of the problems causing the disruptions as well as the fact that housing prices in the Company’s primary market of the Capital Region of New York have not experienced the declines realized in other areas of the country.  The withdrawal from the market of some of the troubled lenders that did focus on subprime and similar loans slightly improved competitive conditions for the type of residential mortgage loans focused on by TrustCo, however competition remains strong.

 
38


The strategy on the funding side of the balance sheet continues to be to attract deposit customers to the Company based upon a combination of service, convenience and interest rate.  The Company has periodically offered attractive long-term deposit rates as part of a strategy to lengthen deposit lives.  The decline in the federal funds rate and slightly lessened competitive conditions has led to lower deposit rates offered by most depository institutions, including TrustCo, during the second quarter of 2011.  However, the decline in deposit costs has lagged the decline in the Federal Funds target rate.

Earning Assets
Total average interest earning assets increased from $3.68 billion in the second quarter of 2010 to $3.94 billion in the same period of 2011 with an average yield of 4.52% in 2010 and 4.14% in 2011.  Interest income on average earning assets decreased from $41.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $40.8 million in the second quarter of 2011, on a tax equivalent basis, as the increase in average earning assets did not fully offset the decline in average yield.

Loans
The average balance of loans was $2.39 billion in the second quarter of 2011 and $2.31 billion in the comparable period in 2010.  The yield on loans decreased 17 basis points to 5.38%.  The higher average balances roughly offset the lower yield, leading to a nominal increase in the interest income on loans from $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Compared to the second quarter of 2010, the average balance of the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2011 increased in residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit, but declined in commercial and installment loans.  The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $1.84 billion in 2011 compared to $1.75 billion in 2010, an increase of 5.3%.  The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 23 basis points to 5.56% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010.

TrustCo actively markets the residential loan products within its market territories.  Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including rates on treasury securities, the federal funds rate and rates set by competitors and secondary market participants.  As noted earlier, market interest rates have changed significantly in recent years as a result of national economic policy in the United States, as well as due to disruptions in the mortgage market.  During this period of changing interest rates, TrustCo aggressively marketed the unique aspects of its loan products thereby attempting to create a differentiation from other lenders.  These unique aspects include extremely low closing costs, fast turn-around time on loan approvals, no escrow or mortgage insurance requirements for qualified borrowers and the fact that the Company typically holds these loans in portfolio and does not sell them into the secondary markets.  Assuming a rise in long-term interest rates, the Company would anticipate that the unique features of its loan product will continue to attract customers in the residential mortgage loan area.

Commercial loans, which consist primarily of loans secured by commercial real estate, decreased $15.6 million to an average balance of $250.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 over the prior year.  The average yield on this portfolio decreased 1 basis point to 5.87% over the same period.
 
The average yield on home equity credit lines increased 7 basis points to 3.72% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010.  The roughly flat yield reflects that the underlying index rate was unchanged over the last year.  The average balances of home equity lines increased 3.8% to $294.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the prior year.

Securities Available-for-Sale
The average balance of the securities available-for-sale portfolio for the second quarter of 2011 was $986.0 million compared to $773.4 million for the comparable period in 2010.  The higher balances reflect limited growth in net loans during the quarter, the strong growth in deposit balances and a shift away from the held-to-maturity portfolio.  The average yield was 2.65% for the second quarter of 2011 and 3.63% for the second quarter of 2010.  The decline in yield reflects the reinvestment of funds from the calls and maturities of securities into new securities at lower market yields.  This portfolio is primarily comprised of bonds issued by government sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Freddie Mac), municipal bonds, corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities.  These securities are recorded at fair value with any adjustment included in other comprehensive income.

The net unrealized gain in the available-for-sale securities portfolio was $2.3 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to an unrealized gain of $3.1 million as of June 30, 2010, with the change due primarily to a decrease in long term interest rates.

Held-to-Maturity Securities
The average balance of held-to-maturity securities was $161.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2010.  The decline in balances reflects calls and maturities, while the low rate environment has reduced the attractiveness of adding new securities to this portfolio.  Nevertheless, the Company does expect to continue to designate some of its securities as held-to-maturity.  The decline in this portfolio was more than offset by the increase in the available-for-sale portfolio.  The average yield was 4.55% for the 2011 period compared to 3.86% for the year earlier period.  TrustCo expects to hold the securities in this portfolio until they mature or are called.

As of June 30, 2011, the securities in this portfolio include residential mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds.  The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments
The 2011 second quarter average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments was $400.5 million, a $36.6 million increase from the $363.8 million average for the same period in 2010.  The yield was flat at 0.25% as the target rate set by the Federal Reserve Board for federal funds sold remained unchanged.  Interest income from this portfolio increased by approximately $26 thousand from $228 thousand in 2010 to $254 thousand in 2011, reflecting the average balance increase.

The federal funds sold and other short-term investments portfolio is utilized to generate additional interest income and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed into the loan and securities portfolios.

Funding Opportunities
TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio.  The vast majority of the Company’s funding comes from traditional deposit vehicles such as savings, demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, money market and time deposit accounts.

Total average interest-bearing deposits (which includes interest-bearing checking, money market accounts, savings, and certificates of deposit) increased from $3.15 billion during the second quarter of 2010 to $3.37 billion in the second quarter of 2011, and the average rate paid decreased from 1.12% for 2010 to 0.74% for 2011.  Total interest expense on these deposits decreased $2.6 million to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the year earlier period.  The increase in deposits versus the prior year was due to strong growth in core deposits more than offsetting a decline in certificates of deposit.  The low rate environment led more consumers to hold funds in money market, savings and demand accounts as opposed to committing to a longer term certificate.  From the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011, interest bearing demand account average balances were up 10.4%, money market account average balances were up 26.3% and savings account average balances were up 25.7%, while non-interest demand average balances were up 2.8%.  Average balances in certificates of deposits declined 2.8% over the same time frame, but still constitute 38.7% of total average deposits.  The Company does not accept brokered deposits of any kind and does not pay premium rates on certificates with balances over $100,000.

At June 30, 2011, the maturity of total time
deposits is as follows:
 
   
(dollars in thousands)
 
Under 1 year
  $ 1,072,917  
1 to 2 years
    262,934

    11,509  
4 to 5 years
    5,543  
Over 5 years
    448  
    $ 1,401,141  

Average short-term borrowings for the quarter were $130.3 million in 2011 compared to $119.4 million in 2010.  The average rate decreased during this time period from 1.53% in 2010 to 1.18% in 2011.

 
41


Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $1.9 million to $34.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  The net interest spread was flat at 3.38% in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the year ago period. As previously noted, the net interest margin was down 4 basis points to 3.47% for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans (NPLs), which are those loans in a nonaccrual status, loans that have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring, and loans past due three payments or more and still accruing interest.  Also included in the total of nonperforming assets are foreclosed real estate properties, which are categorized as other real estate owned.

Impaired loans are considered to be those commercial and commercial real estate loans in a nonaccrual status and restructured loans.  The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of June 30, 2011:

Nonperforming loans: Total NPLs were $49.5 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $49.9 million at June 30, 2010 and to $48.8 million at December 31, 2010.  There were $49.2 million of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2011 compared to $49.5 million at June 30, 2010 and $48.5 million at December 31, 2010.  Restructured loans were $324 thousand at June 30, 2011 compared to $386 thousand at June 30, 2010 and $336 thousand at December 31, 2010.  There were no loans at June 30, 2011 and 2010, or December 31, 2010 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At June 30, 2011, nonperforming loans include a mix of commercial and residential loans.  Of total nonperforming loans of $49.5 million, $37.2 million were residential real estate loans and $12.3 million were commercial mortgages and commercial loans, compared to $34.3 million and $14.0 million, respectively at December 31, 2010.

As previously noted, a significant percentage of non-performing loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans.  The Bank’s loan loss experience on these loans has generally been strong with net charge-offs of 0.45% of average residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the second quarter of 2011 (annualized) compared to 0.58% for the second quarter of 2010.  These levels are elevated compared to historical levels, reflecting current economic conditions.  However, while the level of nonperforming loans has increased, the Company does not believe this represents a significant level of increased risk of loss in the current loan portfolios.  Management believes that these loans have been appropriately written down where required.

Ongoing portfolio management is intended to result in early identification and disengagement from deteriorating credits. TrustCo has a diversified loan portfolio that includes a significant balance of residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the Capital Region of New York and avoids concentrations to any one borrower or any single industry.  TrustCo has no advances to borrowers or projects located outside the United States.  TrustCo continues to identify delinquent loans as quickly as possible and to move promptly to resolve problem loans.  Efforts to resolve delinquencies begin immediately after the payment grace period expires, with repeated automatically generated notices as well as personalized phone calls and letters.  Loans are placed in non-accrual status once they are 90 days past due or management has determined that such classification is appropriate.  Once in non-accrual status, loans are either brought current and maintained current, at which point they may be returned to accrual status, or they proceed through the foreclosure process.  The collateral on non-accrual loans is evaluated periodically and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.

The Company originates loans throughout its deposit franchise area.  At June 30, 2011, 91.3% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 8.7% were in Florida.  Those figures compare to 91.8% and 8.2%, respectively at December 31, 2010.  Within these two geographic regions, commercial loans constitute a larger component of the local outstandings in Florida than in New York, at 13.1% and 10.0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2011 however the Florida number declined from 15.0% at December 31, 2010.  The New York component also declined, but less significantly from 10.6% at December 31, 2010 to the 10.0% level noted.

Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location.  Florida has experienced a more significant downturn than New York.  Reflecting that, nonaccrual loans are more heavily weighted towards Florida.  As of June 30, 2011, 40.6% of nonaccrual loans were to Florida borrowers, compared to 59.4% in New York and surrounding areas.  The level of Florida based nonaccrual loans declined from 44.7% as of December 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs also reflect local conditions.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Florida net charge-offs were equal to 77.9% of total net charge-offs, compared to 22.1% for New York and surrounding areas.  For the full year 2010, Florida net charge-offs were 72.2% of total net charge-offs, and New York and surrounding area net charge-offs were 27.8%.  The higher level of net charge-offs relative to loan outstandings reflects both the higher level of nonaccrual loans in Florida as well as a greater severity of loss as housing prices have fallen more significantly and broadly in the Florida markets than in the Company’s primary market area.

Other than loans currently identified as non performing, management is aware of no other loans in the Bank’s portfolio that pose material risk of the eventual non-collection of principal and interest.  Also as of June 30, 2011, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.

TrustCo has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring, as impaired loans.  There were $12.3 million of nonaccrual commercial mortgages and loans classified as impaired as of June 30, 2011, compared to $14.0 million at December 31, 2010.  There were $324 thousand of impaired retail loans at June 30, 2011, compared to $336 thousand at December 31, 2010.  The average balances of all impaired loans were $13.5 million during 2011 and $12.5 million during 2010.  The Company recognized approximately $11 thousand of interest income on these loans in the second quarter of 2011, $12 thousand in the second quarter of 2010 and approximately $88 thousand for all of 2010.

At June 30, 2011 there was $4.8 million of foreclosed real estate as compared to $5.4 million at June 30, 2010 and to $7.4 million at December 31, 2010.

During the second quarter of 2011, there were $619 thousand of gross commercial loan charge offs and $2.6 million of gross residential mortgage and consumer loan charge-offs as compared with $308 thousand of gross commercial loan charge-offs and $3.2 million of residential mortgage and consumer loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2010.  Gross recoveries during the second quarter of 2011 were $52 thousand for commercial loans and $175 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans, compared to $34 thousand for commercial loans and $283 thousand for residential and consumer in the second quarter of 2010.

Allowance for loan losses: The balance of the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is, in management’s judgment, representative of the amount of risk incurred in the loan portfolio.

Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses

The allocation of the allowance for loans losses is as follows:

    $ 45,561       100.0 %   $ 41,911       100.0 %

At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $45.6 million, compared to the June 30, 2010 level of $39.2 million and to the December 31, 2010 balance of $41.9 million.  The allowance represents 1.88% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2011 compared to 1.68% at June 30, 2010 and to 1.78% at December 31, 2010.

The provision for loan losses was $4.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2010 and to $4.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Net charge-offs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 were $3.0 million, compared to $7.4 million in the year earlier period, and were $2.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  In deciding on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews the current nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting purposes.  Also, there are a number of other factors that are taken into consideration, including:

 
44

 
 
·
The magnitude and nature of recent loan charge offs and recoveries, and
 
·
The growth in the loan portfolio given existing economic conditions.

Management continues to monitor these factors in determining future provisions or credits for loan losses in relation to the economic environment, loan charge-offs, recoveries and the level and trends of nonperforming loans.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable sources of funding and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands.  TrustCo’s earnings performance and strong capital position enable the Company to easily secure new sources of liquidity.  The Company actively manages its liquidity through target ratios established under its liquidity policies.  Continual monitoring of both historical and prospective ratios allows TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity.  Management has also defined various degrees of adverse liquidity situations, which could potentially occur, and has prepared appropriate contingency plans should such a situation arise.

The Company uses an internal model as the primary tool to identify, quantify and project changes in interest rates and the impact on the balance sheet. The model utilizes assumptions with respect to cash flows and prepayment speeds taken both from industry sources and internally generated data based upon historical trends in the Bank’s balance sheet. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in market interest rates are also incorporated into the model. This model calculates a fair value amount with respect to non-time deposit categories since these deposits are part of the core deposit products of the Company. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure the fair value of capital or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of capital.

Using this internal model, the fair values of capital projections as of June 30, 2011 are referenced below. The base case scenario shows the present estimate of the fair value of capital assuming no change in the operating environment or operating strategies and no change in interest rates from those existing in the marketplace as of June 30, 2011. The table indicates the impact on the fair value of capital assuming interest rates were to instantaneously increase by 100 bp, 200 bp, 300 bp and 400 bp or to decrease by 100 bp.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 was $4.6 million, compared to $5.7 million in the prior year period.  Excluding net securities transactions, non-interest income decreased from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Net gains on securities transactions were $851 thousand in the second quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Trust department income was flat at $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. Trust department assets under management were $787 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $800 million at December 31, 2010 and $724 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase in assets compared to the prior year was due to a combination of improvements in market conditions and added customer accounts.

The total of fees for other services to customers plus other income was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.9 the same period in 2010.  The net result reflects growth in customer accounts and increased transactions, offset by the impact of new regulations that have had a negative impact on certain service fees.  Implementation of new regulations may also have a negative impact on certain fees for the remainder of the year.

Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses were $21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase of $2.3 million was primarily due to increases in three categories.  Other real estate expense increased $1.3 million, as the maintenance and resolution of foreclosed properties continued.  In addition, salaries and benefits were up $444 thousand and other expenses were up $577 thousand as compared to the same quarter last year.  The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to higher benefit costs.  Full time equivalent headcount was 729 as of June 30, 2011, compared to 740 as of March 31, 2010 and 737 as of June 30, 2010.

Net occupancy expense increased $161 thousand to $3.7 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  Equipment expense was approximately flat at $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 versus the prior year.  Professional services were up $116 thousand to $1.7 million for the quarter.  Outsourced services were down $68 thousand to $1.4 million.  Advertising expenses decreased by $88 thousand to $708 thousand in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year.   Insurance costs were down $143 thousand, to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2011, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $4.3 million as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2010.  The effective tax rates were 35.5% and 36.2% for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The tax expense on the Company’s income was different than tax expense at the statutory rate of 35%, due to tax exempt income and the effect of state income taxes.  Third quarter 2010 income tax expense was affected by one-time items that reduced the effective tax rate and are not expected to be repeated in 2011.

Capital Resources
Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios.

Banking regulators are beginning to move towards higher required capital requirements due to the standards included in the Basel III reform measures as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2011 was $268.9 million, compared to $255.4 million at December 31, 2010 and $255.2 million at June 30, 2010. TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.065625 per share in the second quarter of 2011.  This results in a dividend payout ratio of 65.4% based on second quarter 2011 earnings per share of $0.100.

The Company achieved the following ratios as of June 30, 2011 and 2010:

In addition, at June 30, 2011, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 6.61%, compared to 6.66% at June 30, 2010.

Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on July 6, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of 15,640,000 shares of common stock, $1 par value per share. The 15,640,000 shares included 2,040,000 additional shares of common stock as a result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option. The common stock was sold at $4.60 per share, and net proceeds from the offering were $68.1 million before direct offering costs. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investment in Trustco Bank; pending these uses, the Company may invest net proceeds in marketable investment securities or short-term, interest-bearing assets On July 21, 2011, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the responsibility for regulating federal savings associations moved from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).  Also under the Dodd-Frank Act, supervisory and rule-writing authority for savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs) and their non-depository subsidiaries was transfered from the OTS to the Federal Reserve Board on July 21, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies:
Pursuant to SEC guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies judged to be critical policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and that require management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments.
 
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover the inherent risk of losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. Included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2010 the Company is subject to interest rate risk as its principal market risk.  As noted in detail throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company continues to respond to changes in interest rates in a fashion to position the Company to meet short term earning goals and to also allow the Company to respond to changes in interest rates in the future.  Consequently, for the second quarter of 2011, the Company had average balance of federal funds sold and other short-term investments of $400.5 million compared to $363.8 million in the second quarter of 2010.  As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to invest funds from the federal funds sold and other short-term investment portfolio into the securities available-for-sale, securities held-to-maturity and loan portfolios.  Additional disclosure of interest rate risk can be found under “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” and “Asset/Liability Management” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this document.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Based upon this evaluation of those disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Further, no evaluation of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.                    Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A.                 Risk Factors

There were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, other than as set forth in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and as set forth below:

We may be subject to a higher effective tax rate if Trustco Realty Corp. (“Trustco Realty”) fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

Trustco Realty, a subsidiary of Trustco Bank, operates as a REIT for tax purposes. Trustco Realty was established to acquire, hold and manage mortgage assets and other authorized investments to generate net income for distribution to its shareholders.

For an entity to qualify as a REIT, it must meet certain organizational tests and it must satisfy the following six asset tests under the Internal Revenue Code each quarter: (1) at least 75% of the value of the REIT’s total assets must consist of real estate assets, cash and cash items, and government securities; (2) not more than 25% of the value of the REIT’s total assets may consist of securities, other than those includible under the 75% test; (3) not more than 5% of the value of its total assets may consist of securities of any one issuer, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary; (4) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting power of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary; (5) not more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer may be held, other than those securities includible under the 75% test or securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary; and (6) a REIT cannot own securities in one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries which comprise more than 25% of the value of its total assets. At June 30, 2011, Trustco Realty met all six quarterly asset tests.

Also, a REIT must satisfy the following two gross income tests each year: (1) at least 75% of its gross income must be from qualifying income closely connected with real estate activities; and (2) 95% of its gross income must be derived from sources qualifying for the 75% test and dividends, interest, and gains from the sale of securities. In addition, a REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income for the taxable year, excluding any net capital gains, to maintain its non-taxable status for federal income tax purposes. For 2010, Trustco Realty had met the two annual income tests and the distribution test.

 
52


If Trustco Realty fails to meet any of the required provisions and, therefore, does not qualify to be a REIT, our effective tax rate would increase.

We would be subject to a higher effective tax rate if Trustco Realty is required to be included in a New York combined return.

New York State tax law generally requires a REIT that is majority owned by a bank or savings association located in New York to be included in the bank’s combined New York State tax return. We believe that Trustco Realty and Trustco Bank qualify for the small-bank exception to this rule. If, contrary to this belief, Trustco Realty were required to be included in our New York State combined tax return, our effective tax rate would increase. Under the small-bank exception, dividends received by the bank from Trustco Realty are subject to a 60% dividends-received deduction, which results in only 40% of the dividends being subject to New York State tax.

In 2009 and 2010, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance proposed reforms to the New York State corporate franchise and banking laws that, if enacted, would substantially alter how we and Trustco Bank are taxed in New York State and could materially increase our combined effective New York State tax rate. In particular, that proposal would have required Trustco Realty to file a combined New York State return with us and substantially eliminate the benefit of the 60% dividends-received deduction.

We cannot predict whether any tax reform legislation will actually be proposed in the New York State legislature, whether any such legislation would be enacted this year or any subsequent year, how any enacted legislation would differ from the current law or how any such legislative changes would affect us and Trustco Bank’s effective New York State tax rate.

We are subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility and lender liability.

Some of the services we provide, such as trust and investment services, require us to act as fiduciaries for our customers and others. In addition, loan workout and other activities may expose us or Trustco Bank to legal actions, including lender liability or environmental claims. From time to time, third parties make claims and take legal action against us pertaining to the performance of our fiduciary responsibilities or loan-related activities. If these claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, we may be exposed to significant financial liability and/or our reputation could be damaged. Either of these results may adversely impact demand for our products and services or otherwise have a harmful effect on our business and, in turn, on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 
53


We may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of our depositors or borrowers or meet our operating cash needs to fund corporate expansion and other activities.

Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. The liquidity of Trustco Bank is used to make loans and to repay deposit liabilities as they become due or are demanded by customers. Liquidity policies and limits have been established by our board of directors, and our management monitors the overall liquidity position of Trustco Bank to ensure that various alternative strategies exist to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity. Trustco Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which provides funding to members through advances that are collateralized with securities or mortgage-related assets. Our securities portfolio can be used as a secondary source of liquidity, and additional liquidity could be obtained from securities sold under repurchase agreements, non-core deposits and debt or equity securities issuances in public or private transactions. If we were unable to access any of these funding sources when needed, we might not be able to meet the needs of our customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition, our results of operations, cash flows and our level of regulatory capital.

New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.

From time to time, we may develop and grow new lines of business or offer new products and services within our existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. All service offerings, including current offerings and those which may be provided in the future may become more risky due to changes in economic, competitive and market conditions beyond our control.
