Net income for the full year 2002 was $49.2 million, an increase of $3.7 million or 8.2% over net income of $45.5 million for 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $0.660 for 2002, an increase of 6.8% compared to the $0.618 diluted earnings per share in 2001.

McCormick, the Presidents and CEOs of Holding Company and Bank respectively, commented on the strong results for 2002 and it's exceptional performance. "The results for 2002 are right on our targets for all performance measurements. We achieved a return on average equity of 26.08%, an increase in our net income of 8.2% and an efficiency ratio of 36.66%. "We are very encouraged by these results as an indication that our banking strategy of delivering high quality services through our network of community based branches is not only meeting our customer needs, but also providing the desired financial results for our shareholders." Recently, Nancy A. McNamara, Senior Vice President, indicated that she is contemplating retiring in May 2004. In the interim she will work closely with other TrustCo executives to insure a smooth transition of her responsibilities. 6 2002 Results Net income for 2002 was $49.2 million, an increase of 8.2% over the net income of $45.5 million in 2001. The increase in net income combined with TrustCo's capital management process resulted in a return on average equity of 26.08% for 2002 and 25.31% for 2001. TrustCo's efficiency ratio for 2002 was 36.66% compared to 38.96% in 2001. Commenting on the efficiency ratio, they noted, "Our efficiency ratio continues to reflect our focus on reducing operating costs at every level in the organization. The results for 2002 are world-class." In addition, TrustCo has paid-out approximately 89% of 2002's net income to shareholders in the form of cash dividends on its common stock. They noted, "The primary focus used by TrustCo to measure our performance is return on average equity, because that ratio is a clear indicator of how well we are able to invest and generate returns on the funds that our owners have given to us. For 2002 we achieved a 26.08% return on average equity while at the same time opening seven new branch offices, insuring growth into the future."
