PART I

Item 1.  Business

The disclosures set forth in this Item1. Business are qualified by the section
captioned "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Report and
other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this Report.

General

Headquartered in Ithaca, New York, Tompkins Trustco, Inc., ("Tompkins" or the
"Company") is registered as a Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve
Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company
conducts its business through its three wholly-owned banking subsidiaries,
Tompkins Trust Company, The Bank of Castile and The Mahopac National Bank
("Mahopac National Bank"), and through its wholly-owned insurance subsidiary,
Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, the
term "Company" refers to Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The
Company's principal offices are located at The Commons, Ithaca, New York, 14851,
and its telephone number is (607) 273-3210. The Company's common stock is traded
on the American Stock Exchange under the Symbol "TMP."

Tompkins was organized in 1995, under the laws of the State of New York, as a
bank holding company for the Tompkins Trust Company (the "Trust Company"), a
commercial bank that has operated in Ithaca and surrounding communities since
1836. On December 31, 1999, the Company completed a merger with Letchworth
Independent Bancshares Corporation ("Letchworth"), at which time Letchworth was
merged with and into Tompkins. Upon completion of the merger, Letchworth's two
subsidiary banks, The Bank of Castile and Mahopac National Bank, became
subsidiaries of Tompkins. The merger with Letchworth was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.

On January 6, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of AM&M Financial
Services, Inc. (AM&M), a fee-based financial planning firm headquartered in
Pittsford, New York. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
November 21, 2005 by and between the Company and AM&M, the Company acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of AM&M stock for an initial merger
consideration of $2,375,000 in cash and 53,976 shares of Tompkins common stock.
In addition to the merger consideration paid at closing, additional contingent
amounts of up to $8.5 million (payable one-half in cash and one-half in Tompkins
shares) may be paid over a period of four years from closing, depending on the
operating results of AM&M. The merger resulted in initial intangible assets of
approximately $4.5 million. AM&M operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. It has three operating companies: (1) AM&M Planners, Inc., which
provides fee based financial planning and wealth management services for
corporate executives, small business owners and high net worth individuals; (2)
Ensemble Financial Services, Inc., an independent broker-dealer and leading
outsourcing company for financial planners and investment advisors; and (3)
Ensemble Risk Solutions, Inc., which creates customized risk management plans
using life, disability and long-term care insurance products.

Narrative Description of Business

The Company provides traditional banking and related financial services, which
constitute the Company's only reportable business segment. Banking services
consist primarily of attracting deposits from the areas served by the Company's
banking subsidiaries' 34 banking offices and using those deposits to originate a
variety of commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, and leases in
those same areas. Residential real estate mortgage loans are underwritten in
accordance with Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) guidelines, which
enhances the liquidity of these lending products. The Company's subsidiary banks
have sold residential mortgage loans to FHLMC over the past several years to
manage exposure to changing interest rates and to take advantage of favorable
market conditions. The Company's subsidiary banks retain the servicing of the
loans sold to FHLMC and record a servicing asset at the time of sale. For
additional details on loan sales, refer to "Note 4 Loan/Lease Classification
Summary and Related Party Transactions" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report.

The Company's lending function is managed within the guidelines of a
comprehensive Board-approved lending policy. Policies and procedures are
reviewed on a regular basis. Reporting systems are in place to provide
management with ongoing information related to loan production, loan quality,
concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential
problem loans. The Company has an independent loan review process that reviews
and validates the risk identification and assessment made by the lenders and
credit personnel. The results of these reviews are presented to the Board of
Directors of each of the Company's banking subsidiaries.

The Company's principal expenses are interest on deposits, interest on
borrowings, and operating and general administrative expenses, as well as
provisions for loan/lease losses. Funding sources, other than deposits, include
borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and cash flow from
lending and investing activities. Tompkins provides a variety of financial
services to individuals and small business customers. Some of the traditional
banking and related financial services are detailed below.

                                       1


Commercial Services
The Company's subsidiary banks provide financial services to corporations and
other business clients. Lending activities include loans for a variety of
business purposes, including real estate financing, construction, equipment
financing, accounts receivable financing, and commercial leasing. Other
commercial services include deposit and cash management services, letters of
credit, sweep accounts, credit cards, purchasing cards, merchant processing, and
Internet-based account services.

Retail Services
The Company's subsidiary banks provide a variety of retail banking services
including checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, IRA products,
brokerage services, residential mortgage loans, personal loans, home equity
loans, credit cards, debit cards and safe deposit services. Retail services are
accessible through a variety of delivery systems including branch facilities,
ATMs, voice response, and Internet banking.

Trust and Investment Management Services
The Company provides trust and investment services through Tompkins Investment
Services, a division of Tompkins Trust Company. Tompkins Investment Services,
with office locations at all three of the Company's subsidiary banks, provides a
full range of money management services, including investment management
accounts, custody accounts, trusts, retirement plans and rollovers, estate
settlement, and financial planning.

Insurance Services
The Company provides insurance services through its Tompkins Insurance
subsidiary. Tompkins Insurance is an independent insurance agency, representing
22 major insurance carriers with access to special risk property and liability
markets. Tompkins Insurance has automated systems for record keeping, claim
processing and coverage confirmation, and can provide instant insurance pricing
comparisons from some of the country's finest insurance companies. Tompkins
Insurance has 4 stand-alone offices and 7 offices that it shares with The Bank
of Castile in Western New York that serve the markets contiguous to The Bank of
Castile, and added an Ithaca office as a result of the December 31, 2004
acquisition of Banfield & Associates, Inc.

Securities Portfolio
The Company maintains a portfolio of securities such as U.S. government and
agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof,
equity securities, and interest-bearing deposits. Management typically invests
in securities with short to intermediate average lives in order to better match
the interest rate sensitivities of its assets and liabilities.

Investment decisions are made within policy guidelines established by the
Company's Board of Directors. The investment policy established by the Company's
Board of Directors is based on the asset/liability management goals of the
Company, and is monitored by the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee.
The intent of the policy is to establish a portfolio of high quality diversified
securities, which optimizes net interest income within safety and liquidity
limits deemed acceptable by the Asset/Liability Management Committee.
Securities, other than certain obligations of states and political subdivisions
thereof, are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale may
be used to enhance total return, provide additional liquidity, or reduce
interest rate risk.

Subsidiaries

The Company operates three banking subsidiaries, an insurance agency subsidiary
in New York, and effective January 6, 2006, a financial planning subsidiary. The
Company's subsidiary banks operate 34 offices, including 1 limited-service
office, serving communities in New York. The decision to operate as three
locally managed community banks reflects management's commitment to community
banking as a business strategy. For Tompkins, personal delivery of high quality
services, a commitment to the communities in which we operate, and the
convergence of a single-source financial service provider characterize
management's community banking approach. The combined resources of the Tompkins
organization provides increased capacity for growth, and greater capital
resources necessary to make investments in technology and services. Tompkins has
developed several specialized financial services that are now available in
markets served by all three subsidiary banks. These services include trust and
investment services, insurance, leasing, card services, and Internet banking.

Tompkins Trust Company ("Tompkins Trust Company")
Tompkins Trust Company is a commercial bank that has operated in Ithaca, New
York and surrounding communities since 1836. The Trust Company operates 13
full-service and 1 limited-service banking offices in the counties of Tompkins,
Cortland, Cayuga and Schuyler, New York.

The area served by the Tompkins Trust Company consists primarily of Tompkins
County, New York with an estimated population of 96,000. The majority of
Tompkins Trust Company's 13 full-service offices are located within Tompkins
County. Education plays a significant role in the local economy with Cornell
University and Ithaca College being two of the county's major employers. Current
economic trends include low unemployment and moderate growth. Tompkins Trust
Company also has a full-service office in Cortland, New York and a full-service
office in Auburn, New York. Both of these offices are located in counties
contiguous to Tompkins County.

                                       2


The Bank of Castile ("The Bank of Castile")
The Bank of Castile conducts its operations through its 13 full-service offices,
in towns situated in and around the areas commonly known as the Letchworth State
Park area and the Genesee Valley region of New York State. The Bank of Castile
serves a five-county market that is primarily rural in nature. The opening of a
branch office in Chili, New York, in 1999, has provided increased access to the
suburban Rochester, New York, market. Excluding Monroe County, which includes
Rochester, the population of the counties served by The Bank of Castile is
approximately 212,000. Economic growth has been relatively flat in The Bank of
Castile's market area, although the significant population base of the suburban
Rochester market (in excess of 700,000 people) provides continued opportunities
for growth. A new office is planned for Monroe County in 2006.

Mahopac National Bank ("Mahopac National Bank")
Mahopac National Bank is located in Putnam County, New York and operates 4
full-service offices in that county, 2 full-service offices in Dutchess County,
New York and one full-service office in Westchester County, New York.

The primary market area for Mahopac National Bank is Putnam County, with a
population of approximately 100,000. Putnam County is about 60 miles north of
Manhattan, and is one of the fastest growing counties in New York State. Mahopac
National Bank's Hopewell Junction and LaGrange offices are located in Dutchess
County, which has a population of approximately 280,000. In June 2004, Mahopac
National Bank opened an office in Mount Kisco, New York, which is located in
Westchester County. Two new offices are planned for 2006, one of which will be
located in Putnam County and the other in Dutchess County.

Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. ("Tompkins Insurance Agencies")
Tompkins Insurance Agencies is headquartered in Batavia, New York, and offers
property and casualty insurance to individuals and businesses primarily in
Western New York. Over the past several years, Tompkins Insurance Agencies has
expanded its efforts to offer services to customers of the Company's banking
subsidiaries by sharing certain offices with The Bank of Castile. Tompkins
Insurance Agencies has 4 stand-alone offices in Western New York and 7 offices
that it shares with The Bank of Castile. On December 31, 2004, Tompkins
Insurance Agencies acquired Banfield & Associates, Inc. in Ithaca, New York.

AM&M Financial Services, Inc. ("AM&M")
AM&M is headquartered in Pittsford, New York and offers fee-based financial
planning services through three operating companies: (1) AM&M Planners, Inc.,
which provides fee based financial planning and wealth management services for
corporate executives, small business owners and high net worth individuals; (2)
Ensemble Financial Services, Inc., an independent broker-dealer and leading
outsourcing company for financial planners and investment advisors; and (3)
Ensemble Risk Solutions, Inc., which creates customized risk management plans
using life, disability and long-term care insurance products. AM&M has 42
employees and is led by 6 principals.


Competition

Competition for commercial banking and other financial services is strong in the
Company's market areas. The deregulation of the banking industry and the
widespread enactment of state laws that permit multi-bank holding companies, as
well as an increasing level of interstate banking, have created a highly
competitive environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its
business, the Company's subsidiaries compete with other commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds,
insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other
financial intermediaries. Some of these competitors have substantially greater
resources and lending capabilities and may offer services that the Company does
not currently provide. In addition, many of the Company's non-bank competitors
are not subject to the same extensive Federal regulations that govern financial
holding companies and Federally insured banks.

Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on
deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and service
charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the convenience of
banking facilities and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, relative
lending limits. Management believes that a community bank is better positioned
to establish personalized banking relationships with both commercial customers
and individual households. The Company's community commitment and involvement in
its primary market areas, as well as its commitment to quality and personalized
banking services, are factors that contribute to the Company's competitiveness.
Management believes that each of the Company's subsidiary banks can compete
successfully in its primary market areas by making prudent lending decisions
quickly and more efficiently than its competitors, without compromising asset
quality or profitability, although no assurances can be given that such factors
will assure success.


Supervision and Regulation

Regulatory Agencies
As a registered financial holding company, the Company is subject to examination
and comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). The Company's
subsidiary banks are subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by
various regulatory authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the
New York State Banking Department (NYSBD). Each of these agencies issues
regulations and requires the filing of reports describing the activities and
financial condition of the entities under its jurisdiction. Likewise, such

                                       3


agencies conduct examinations on a recurring basis to evaluate the safety and
soundness of the institutions, and to test compliance with various regulatory
requirements, including: consumer protection, privacy, fair lending, the
Community Reinvestment Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, sales of non-deposit
investments, electronic data processing, and trust department activities.

Share Repurchases and Dividends
Under FRB regulations, the Company may not, without providing prior notice to
the FRB, purchase or redeem its own common stock if the gross consideration for
the purchase or redemption, combined with the net consideration paid for all
such purchases or redemptions during the preceding twelve months, is equal to
ten percent or more of the Company's consolidated net worth.

FRB policy provides that dividends shall not be paid except out of current
earnings and unless the prospective rate of earnings retention by the Company
appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial
condition. Tompkins' primary source of funds to pay dividends on its common
stock is dividends from its subsidiary banks. The subsidiary banks are subject
to regulations that restrict the dividends that they may pay to the Company.

Liability of Commonly Controlled Institutions
FDIC-insured depository institutions can be held liable for any loss incurred,
or reasonably expected to be incurred, by the FDIC due to the default of an
FDIC-insured depository institution controlled by the same bank holding company,
or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to and FDIC-insured depository
institution controlled by the same bank holding company that is in danger of
default. "Default" means generally the appointment of a conservator or receiver.
"In danger of default" means generally the existence of certain conditions
indicating that default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory
assistance.

Intercompany Transactions
There are Federal laws and regulations that govern transactions between the
Company's non-bank subsidiaries and its banking subsidiaries. These laws
establish certain quantitative limits and other prudent requirements for loans,
purchases of assets, and certain other transactions between a member bank and
its affiliates.

Capital Adequacy
The FRB, the FDIC, and the OCC have promulgated capital adequacy guidelines that
are considered by these agencies in examining and supervising a bank or bank
holding company, and in analyzing any applications a bank or bank holding
company may submit to the appropriate agency. In addition, for supervisory
purposes, these agencies have promulgated regulations establishing five
categories of capitalization, ranging from well capitalized to critically
undercapitalized, depending upon the level of capitalization and other factors.
Currently, the Company and its subsidiary banks maintain leverage and risk-based
capital ratios above the required levels and are considered well capitalized
under applicable regulations. A comparison of the Company's capital ratios and
the various regulatory requirements is included in "Note 17 Regulations and
Supervision" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8.
of this Report on Form 10-K.

Deposit Insurance
All deposit accounts of the Company's subsidiary banks are insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF), generally in amounts up to $100,000 per depositor. Deposit
insurance coverage is maintained by payment of premiums assessed to banks
insured by the BIF. The FDIC uses a risk-based assessment system that determines
insurance premiums based upon a bank's capital level and supervisory rating.
Based on capital strength and favorable FDIC risk classifications, the Company's
subsidiary banks are not currently subject to BIF insurance assessments. Since
January 1997, all BIF insured banks have been subject to special assessments to
repay Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds, which were used to repay depositors of
failed Savings and Loan Associations after the former Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Fund became insolvent.

Depositor Preference
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that, in the event of the
"liquidation or other resolution" of an insured depository, the claims of
depositors of the institution, including the claims of the FDIC, as subrogee of
the insured depositors, and certain claims for administrative expenses of the
FDIC as receiver, will have priority over other general unsecured claims against
the institution. If an insured depository institution fails, insured and
uninsured depositors, along with the FDIC, will have priority in payment ahead
of unsecured, non-deposit creditors, including the parent bank holding company,
with respect to any extensions of credit they have made to such insured
depository institutions.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, signed into law on July 30, 2002, and the SEC's
implementing regulations of the same (collectively, the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"),
have resulted in a broad range of corporate governance and auditor independence
and accounting standards and enhanced disclosure requirements and accounting and
financial reporting measures for companies that have securities registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including
the Company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among other things, (i) requires that a
public company's financial statements be certified by the company's principal
executive and principal financial officers; (ii) prohibits personal loans to
company directors and officers, except certain loans made by insured financial
institutions on nonpreferential terms and in compliance with other bank
regulatory requirements; (iii) requires that a pubic company establish and
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, to ensure timely reporting of
information to the public, and a process of internal control over financial
reporting, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the
company's financial reporting and financial statement preparation, and that the
company's management, with the participation of the company's principal
executive and principal financial officers, evaluate the effectiveness of such
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting; and (iv) creates or provides for various new and increased civil and
criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws.

                                       4


Employees

At December 31, 2005, the Company employed 626 employees, approximately 97 of
whom were part-time. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement and the Company believes its employee relations are excellent.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The Company's business, operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and
cash flow may be impacted by numerous factors, including but not limited to
those discussed below. These items may cause the Company's results to vary
materially from recent results.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company's earnings, financial condition and liquidity are susceptible to
fluctuations in market interest rates. Net interest income, which is the
difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on
deposits and borrowings, is the largest component of the Company's total
revenues. The level of net interest income is dependent upon the volume and mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the level of
nonperforming assets, and the level and trend of interest rates. Changes in
market interest rates will also affect the level of prepayments on the Company's
loans and payments on mortgage-backed securities, resulting in the receipt of
proceeds that may be reinvested at a lower rate than the loan or mortgage-backed
security being prepaid. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors,
including: inflation, economic growth, employment levels, monetary policy and
international markets. Significant fluctuations in interest rates could have a
material adverse affect on the Company's earnings, financial condition, and
liquidity.

The Company manages interest rate risk using income simulation to measure
interest rate risk inherent in its on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet
financial instruments at a given point in time by showing the potential effect
of interest rate shifts on net interest income for future periods. Each quarter
the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee reviews the simulation
results to determine whether the exposure of net interest income to changes in
interest rates remains within board-approved levels. The Committee also
discusses strategies to manage this exposure and incorporates these strategies
into the investment and funding decisions of the Company. In addition, the
Company has focused on expanding its fee-based business as a percentage of
revenues to help mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

For additional information about how the Company manages its interest rate risk,
refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk" of this Report.

Credit Risk
The Company's business of originating and underwriting loans involves credit
risk, which is the risk of loss of principal or interest because borrowers,
guarantors and related parties fail to perform in accordance with the terms of
their loan agreements. The Company has adopted comprehensive credit policies,
underwriting standards and loan review procedures and maintains a reserve for
loan/lease losses to mitigate credit losses. The Company reviews the adequacy of
its reserve for loan/lease losses on a regular basis to ensure that the reserve
is adequate to cover the estimated loss exposure in its portfolio. Management
believes that it has established policies and procedures that are appropriate to
mitigate the risk of loss. Nonetheless, these policies and procedures may not
prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
See Part II, Item 7, "Loans/Leases" and "The Reserve for Loan/Lease Losses" of
this Report for further discussion of the lending portfolio and the reserve for
loan/lease losses.

                                       5


Government Laws and Regulations
The Company is subject to extensive state and federal laws and regulations,
supervision, and legislation that affect how it conducts its business. The
majority of these laws and regulations are for the protection of consumers,
depositors and the deposit insurance funds. Any changes to state and federal
banking laws and regulations may negatively impact the Company's ability to
expand services and to increase shareholder value. There can also be significant
cost related to compliance with various laws and regulations. The Company has
established an extensive internal control structure to ensure compliance with
governing laws and regulations, including those related to financial reporting.
Refer to "Supervision and Regulation" for additional information on laws and
regulations.

The Federal Reserve's monetary policies also affect the Company's operating
results and financial condition. These policies, which include open market
operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member
bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank
deposits, can have a major effect upon the source and cost of funds and the
rates of return earned on loans and investments.

The Company is subject to state and federal tax laws and regulations. Changes to
these regulations could impact future tax expense and the value of deferred tax
assets. Article 32 of the New York State Tax Law, which sets forth the taxation
of financial institutions, expired at year-end 2005. The fiscal 2007 budget for
New York proposes to make Article 32 permanent, and also proposes a change in
the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts (REIT), and a reduction in
the State tax rate for financial institutions to 6.5%. Each of the Company's
banking subsidiaries is a majority owner in a REIT. If the proposed change is
passed in its current form, the expected impact on the Company would be an
increased tax expense of approximately $632,000.

Competition
Competition for commercial banking and other financial services is strong in the
Company's market areas. The deregulation of the banking industry and the
widespread enactment of state laws that permit multi-bank holding companies, as
well as an increasing level of interstate banking, have created a highly
competitive environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its
business, the Company's subsidiaries compete with other commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds,
insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other
financial intermediaries. Some of these competitors have substantially greater
resources and lending capabilities and may offer services that the Company does
not currently provide. In addition, many of the Company's non-bank competitors
are not subject to the same extensive Federal regulations that govern financial
holding companies and Federally insured banks. The Company focuses on providing
unparalleled customer service, which includes offering a strong suite of
products and services.

Economic Conditions
General economic conditions have an impact on the banking industry. The
Company's operating results depend on providing products and services to
customers in our local market areas. Unemployment rates, real estate values,
demographic changes, property tax rates, and local and state governments have an
impact on local and regional economic conditions. An increase in unemployment, a
decrease in real estate values, an increase in property tax rates, or a decrease
in population could weaken the local economies in which the Company operates.
Weak economic conditions could lead to credit quality concerns related to
repayment ability and collateral protection. The Company operates in three
primary market areas which mitigates the impact on local economic conditions and
has focused on providing a full suite of products to increase its fee based
business as a percentage of total revenues.

Operational Risk
The Company is subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited
to, data processing system failures and errors, customer or employee fraud and
catastrophic failures resulting from terrorist acts or natural disasters. The
Company depends upon data processing, software, communication, and information
exchange on a variety of computing platforms and networks and over the Internet.
Despite instituted safeguards, the Company cannot be certain that all of its
systems are entirely free from vulnerability to attack or other technological
difficulties or failures. If information security is breached or other
technology difficulties or failures occur, information may be lost or
misappropriated, services and operations may be interrupted and the Company
could be exposed to claims from customers. Any of these results could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity. The Company maintains a system of internal controls
to mitigate against such occurrences and maintains insurance coverage for
exposures that are insurable. The Company periodically tests internal controls
to ensure that they are appropriate and functioning as designed.

Technological Development and Changes
The financial services industry is subject to rapid technological changes with
frequent introductions of new technology driven products and services. In
addition to improving the Company's ability to serve customers, the effective
use of technology increases efficiencies and helps to maintain or reduce
expenses. The Company's ability to keep pace with technological changes
affecting the financial industry and to introduce new products and services
based on this new technology will be important to the Company's continued
success.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company is making this statement in order to satisfy the "Safe Harbor"
provision contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
statements contained in this Report on Form 10-K that are not statements of
historical fact may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made based on
management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the
Company and are subject to certain uncertainties and factors relating to the
Company's operations and economic environment, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could
cause actual results of the Company to differ materially from those matters
expressed and/or implied by forward-looking statements. The following factors
are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, market and regulatory
conditions; the development of an interest rate environment that may adversely
affect the Company's interest rate spread, other income or cash flow anticipated
from the Company's operations, investment and/or lending activities; changes in
laws and regulations affecting banks, bank holding companies and/or financial
holding companies; technological developments and changes; the ability to
continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely,
cost-effective basis; governmental and public policy changes, including
environmental regulation; protection and validity of intellectual property
rights; reliance on large customers; and financial resources in the amounts, at
the times and on the terms required to support the Company's future businesses.
In addition, such forward-looking statements could be affected by general
industry and market conditions and growth rates, general economic and political
conditions, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, and
other factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the course of the Company's normal business activity, management must select
and apply many accounting policies and methodologies that lead to the financial
results presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Some
of these policies are more critical than others. Management considers the
accounting policy relating to the reserve for loan/lease losses (reserve) to be
a critical accounting policy because of the uncertainty and subjectivity
inherent in estimating the levels of reserve needed to cover probable credit
losses within the loan portfolio and the material effect that these estimates
can have on the Company's results of operations.

The Company has developed a methodology to measure the amount of estimated loan
loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio to ensure that an adequate reserve
is maintained. The methodology includes an estimate of exposure for the
following: specifically reviewed and graded loans, historical loss experience by
product type, past due and nonperforming loans, and other internal and external
factors such as local and regional economic conditions, growth trends, and
credit policy and underwriting standards. The methodology includes a review of
loans considered impaired in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAF) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan", as well as other commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans that
are evaluated using an internal rating system. An estimated exposure amount is
assigned to these internally reviewed credits based upon a review of the
borrower's financial condition, payment history, collateral adequacy, and
business conditions. For commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans not
specifically reviewed, and for more homogenous loan portfolios such as
residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, estimated exposure amounts are
assigned based upon historical loss experience as well as past due status.
Lastly, additional reserves are maintained based upon management judgment and
assessment of other quantitative and qualitative factors such as regional and
local economic conditions and portfolio growth trends.

Since the methodology is based upon historical experience and trends as well as
management's judgment, factors may arise that result in different estimations.
Significant factors that could give rise to changes in these estimates may
include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions in the local
area, concentration of risk, and declines in local property values. While
management's evaluation of the reserve for loan/lease losses as of December 31,
2005, considers the reserve to be adequate, under adversely different conditions
or assumptions, the Company would need to increase the reserve.

Another critical accounting policy is the policy for pensions and
post-retirement benefits. Expenses and liabilities associated with the Company's
pension and post-retirement benefit plans are based on estimates of future
salary increases, employment levels, employee retention, discount rates, life
expectancies, and the long-term rates of investment returns. Changes in these
assumptions due to market conditions, governing laws and regulations, or Company
specific circumstances may result in material changes to the Company's pension
and post-retirement expenses.

All accounting policies are important and the reader of the financial statements
should review these policies, described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II,
Item 8. of this Form 10-K, to gain a better understanding of how the Company's
financial performance is reported.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Comparison of December 31, 2005 and 2004 results)

General

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was up 8.1% to $27.7 million,
compared to $25.6 million in 2004. On a per share basis, the Company earned
$3.05 per diluted share in 2005, compared to $2.81 per diluted share in 2004. In
addition to earnings per share growth, key performance measurements for the
Company include return on average shareholders' equity (ROE) and return on
average assets (ROA). ROE was 15.82% in 2005, compared to 15.68% in 2004, while
ROA was 1.36% in 2005, up from 1.32% in 2004. ROA and ROE for Tompkins continue
to compare favorably to bank holding company peer ratios widely available from
the Federal Reserve Board.

The favorable performance in 2005 over 2004 reflects continued execution of the
Company's key business strategies, including a commitment to community banking
through diversified revenue sources consisting of net interest income generated
from the loan and securities portfolios, trust and investment services income,
insurance commissions and fees, and other service charges and fees for providing
banking and related financial services. Evidence of the success of these
strategies includes the 8.5% growth in total loans and the 3.9% growth in core
deposits (total deposits less time deposits of $100,000 and more, brokered
deposits, and municipal money market deposits) from December 31, 2004 to
December 31, 2005, as well as growth in key fee income categories as discussed
below. Noninterest income also benefited from the Company's recent agreement
with NOVA Information Systems (NOVA) to transfer customer service, processing
services, and support operations for all merchant card processing customers. The
agreement calls for NOVA to receive all future revenue from the Company's
current merchant customers, and resulted in a pre-tax net gain of approximately
$3.0 million in the fourth quarter. Tompkins will continue to generate referral
fees and income based on a percentage of net sales revenue from new customers
referred to NOVA.

An interest rate environment of rising short-term rates and stable long-term
rates made 2005 a challenging year. Increases in the yields on the Company's
average earning assets were offset by increases in the Company's cost of funds,
resulting in a flat net interest margin for the year when compared to 2004.
Year-over-year loan growth of 8.5% was a key factor contributing to the 5.2%
increase in net interest income to $75.0 million in 2005.

Asset quality remained strong with reductions in nonperforming assets and net
charge-offs compared with prior year. Nonperforming assets of $4.5 million at
December 31, 2005, are down from $7.7 million at December 31, 2004. Net
loan/lease charge-offs improved to $1.5 million in 2005 from $2.0 million in
2004.

Noninterest income for 2005 was $30.8 million, an increase of 10.0% over 2004.
The growth trends for key fee generating business activities were positive for
the year. Insurance commissions and fees were $7.5 million, up 17.3% from prior
year; service charges on deposit accounts were $8.3 million, up 3.4%; and trust
and investment services income was $5.3 million, up 1.5%.

Noninterest expenses were $62.1 million in 2005, up 6.7% over 2004. These
increases were primarily due to higher compensation and benefits related
expenses, which were up $2.2 million for the year-to-date period. The
acquisition of Banfield & Associates, Inc., effective December 31, 2004,
contributed to the increased personnel costs in 2005 over 2004.

Net Interest Income

Table 1-Average Statements of Condition and Net Interest Analysis illustrates
the trend in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
and the corresponding yield or cost associated with each. Taxable-equivalent net
interest income improved to $77.9 million in 2005, up 5.3% from $73.9 million in
2004. Taxable-equivalent net interest income benefited from growth in average
earning assets and growth in deposits. The Federal Reserve continued to raise
short-term interest rates in 2005, which contributed to a 200 basis point
increase in the prime rate in 2005. The higher prime rate had a favorable impact
on commercial loan yields as the Company's prime rate based loans repriced
upwards. The higher short-term interest rates also led to increased funding
costs as rates on deposits and borrowings moved upwards. While short-term rates
rose, the spread between long-term and short-term rates narrowed as longer-term
rates did not increase in line with short-term rates. The yield on average
earning assets increased 38 basis points from 5.40% for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, to 5.78% for fiscal 2005, while the cost of interest bearing
liabilities increased 49 basis points from 1.60% to 2.09% over the same time
period, resulting in an 11 basis point decline in the net interest spread.
Growth in noninterest-bearing liabilities offset some of the decline in the
spread resulting in a tax-equivalent net interest margin that is unchanged from
2004.

Taxable-equivalent interest income was up 12.6% over the same period prior year,
driven by an increase in the loan volumes and yields. Average loans grew by
$103.1 million, or 9.2%, which included a $58.2 million increase in average
commercial real estate loans, a $39.0 million increase in average residential
loans, and a $14.5 million increase in average commercial loans. Yields on
commercial and industrial loans, and commercial real estate loans benefited from
increases in market interest rates. Home equity loan yields were also higher as
initial introductory rates repriced to fully indexed rates.

                                       14


Increases in taxable-equivalent interest income were partially offset by a 35.8%
increase in interest expense driven by the rise in short-term market interest
rates. Rates on time deposits moved higher with the rise in short-term rates and
resulted in an increased volume of these deposits. Core deposits, which include
demand deposits, savings accounts, non-municipal money market accounts, and time
deposits less than $100,000, represent the Company's largest and lowest cost
funding source. Average core deposits increased by $46.0 million or 3.9%, to
$1.2 billion in 2005, providing funding to support average earning asset growth.
Core deposit growth included a $26.3 million or 8.9% increase in average
noninterest-bearing deposits, from $297.6 million in 2004 to $324.0 million in
2005.

Non-core funding sources, which include time deposits of $100,000 or more,
brokered deposits, municipal money market deposits, Federal funds purchased,
securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other borrowings provided
additional sources of funding to support asset growth. Average balances on these
non-core funding sources increased by $39.8 million from $578.2 million at
year-end 2004, to $618.0 million at year-end 2005. Average time deposits of
$100,000 or more increased by $86.2 million to $224.2 million at year-end 2005.
Upward movement in time deposit interest rates beginning in the latter half of
2004 contributed to the growth in this deposit category. Growth in core and
non-core deposits allowed for a reduction in average borrowings and securities
sold under repurchase agreements from 2004 to 2005.

Changes in net interest income occur from a combination of changes in the volume
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and in the rate of
interest earned or paid on them. Table 2-Analysis of Changes in Net Interest
Income illustrates changes in interest income and interest expense attributable
to changes in volume (change in average balance multiplied by prior year rate),
changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and the net
change in net interest income. The net change attributable to the combined
impact of volume and rate has been allocated to each in proportion to the
absolute dollar amounts of the change. The $3.9 million increase in
taxable-equivalent net interest income from 2004 to 2005 resulted from a $12.3
million increase in interest income and an $8.4 million increase in interest
expense. An increased volume of earning assets contributed to a net $4.7 million
increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income between 2004 and 2005, while
changes in interest rates reduced taxable-equivalent net interest income by
$800,000, resulting in the net increase of $3.9 million.

Notes: See notes to Table 1 above.


Provision for Loan/Lease Losses

The provision for loan/lease losses represents management's estimate of the
expense necessary to maintain the reserve for loan/lease losses at an adequate
level. Management has developed a model to measure the amount of estimated loan
loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio to ensure that an adequate reserve
is maintained. The provision for loan/lease losses was $2.7 million in 2005,
compared to $2.9 million in 2004. The decrease in 2005 is primarily due to
positive trends in asset quality measures. Nonperforming loans/leases were $4.1
million or 0.33% of total loans/leases at December 31, 2005, compared with $7.6
million or 0.65% of total loans/leases at December 31, 2004. The improvement in
nonperforming loans/leases benefited from the return to accruing status of a
large commercial credit based on an improved financial position. Net charge-offs
of $1.5 million in 2005 represented 0.13% of average loans/leases during the
period, compared to net charge-offs of $2.0 million in 2004, representing 0.18%
of average loans/leases. See the section captioned "The Reserve for Loan/Lease
Losses" included within in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Financial Condition" of this Report for
further analysis of the Company's reserve for loan/lease losses.

Noninterest Income

The Company considers noninterest income an important driver of long-term
revenue growth and a way to reduce earnings volatility that may result from
changes in general market interest rates. Total noninterest income was $30.8
million in 2005, an increase of 10.0% over 2004. Sources of noninterest income
include insurance fees and commissions, service charges on deposit accounts,
trust and investment services, and card services products. The Company has been
able to expand the contribution of noninterest income to total revenues by
developing and introducing new products and by marketing its services across all
of the Company's markets. Noninterest income represented 29.1% of total revenue
in 2005, compared with 28.2% in 2004.

In late 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with NOVA Information
Systems (NOVA) to transfer customer service, processing services, and support
operations for all merchant card processing customers. The agreement calls for
NOVA to receive all future revenue from the Company's current merchant
customers, and resulted in a pre-tax net gain of approximately $3.0 million in
the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company will continue to generate referral fees
and income based on a percentage of net sales revenue from new customers
referred to NOVA. The transaction will have a negative impact on future revenue
of approximately $300,000, but will have a nominal impact on future net income.
The agreement with NOVA will provide the Company's customers with improved
technology for merchant card processing that is available through economies of
scale that NOVA has as one of the largest merchant processing companies in the
country.

                                       17


The Company's agreement with NOVA will also allow the Company to increase its
focus on other fee income businesses such as investment services, wealth
management, brokerage services, and insurance.

Service charges on deposit accounts were up $269,000 or 3.4% to $8.3 million in
2005, compared to $8.0 million in 2004. An increase in the number of transaction
accounts, fee increases, and additional deposit services contributed to the
growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2005 over 2004. The average
dollar volume of noninterest-bearing accounts increased by 8.9% between 2004 and
2005, from $297.6 million to $324.0 million. The largest component of service
charges on deposit accounts is overdraft fees. Overdraft fees over the past
several years have benefited from the implementation of an automated overdraft
payment program in mid-2002 for personal accounts. This overdraft program was
expanded in mid-2004 to encompass a broader customer base, including commercial
accounts.

Insurance commissions and fees were $7.5 million in 2005, an increase of $1.1
million or 17.3% over 2004. Tompkins Insurance Agencies' acquisition of the
Banfield & Associates, Inc., an insurance agency in Ithaca, New York, at
year-end 2004 contributed to the growth in commission income in 2005 over 2004.
This acquisition also provides an opportunity to offer insurance services to the
customers of Tompkins Trust Company. Additionally, Tompkins Insurance Agencies
has continued its efforts to offer services to customers of The Bank of Castile.
These efforts include locating Tompkins Insurance Agencies representatives in
offices of The Bank of Castile. Tompkins Insurance currently shares 7 office
locations with The Bank of Castile and plans to add representatives to other
offices in 2005.

Trust and investment services generated $5.3 million in revenue in 2005, an
increase of 1.5% over revenue of $5.2 million in 2004. With fees largely based
on the market value and mix of assets managed, the general direction of the
stock market can have a considerable impact on fee income. The market value of
assets managed by, or in custody of, Tompkins Investment Services was $1.5
billion at December 31, 2005, up 2.6% from December 31, 2004. These figures
include $435.2 million and $413.8 million, respectively, of Company-owned
securities where Tompkins Investment Services is custodian. Tompkins Investment
Services generates fee income through managing trust and investment
relationships, managing estates, providing custody services, and managing
investments in employee benefits plans. Services are primarily provided to
customers in the Trust Company's market area of Tompkins County; however,
Tompkins Investment Services representatives also serve clients in The Bank of
Castile and Mahopac National Bank markets. Trends for new business in trust and
investments services remain positive. The number of accounts increased by 7.5%
between December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004.

Card services income of $2.6 million in 2005 was up $174,000 or 7.0% over income
of $2.5 million in 2004. An increased number of cardholders and higher
transaction volume contributed to the growth in card services income in 2005.
Card services have been a strong contributor to revenues as technology has
created opportunities to better serve customers with new products. Card services
products include traditional credit cards, purchasing cards, debit cards, and
automated teller machines (ATM).

Noninterest income also includes $1.1 million from increases in cash surrender
value of corporate owned life insurance (COLI), down from $1.2 million in 2004.
The COLI relates to life insurance policies covering certain senior officers of
the Company and its subsidiaries. Increases in the cash surrender value of the
insurance are reflected as other noninterest income, net of the related
mortality expense. The Company's average investment in COLI was $25.8 million
during 2005, compared to $23.3 million during 2004. The Company purchased about
$2.1 million in additional COLI in 2005. Although income associated with the
insurance policies is not included in interest income, increases in the cash
surrender value produced a tax-adjusted return of approximately 7.08% in 2005,
8.53% in 2004, and 7.67% in 2003.

The $169,000 increase in other income in 2005 over 2004 was largely driven by a
$207,000 gain on sale of real estate. In 2004, The Bank of Castile relocated its
Warsaw Office to a newly renovated building. The former Warsaw Office building
was sold in 2005 for a gain of $207,000.

The Company has an investment in a small business investment company
partnership, Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. ("Cephas"), totaling $3.4 million at
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Because the Company's percentage
ownership in Cephas exceeds 20%, the equity method of accounting is utilized,
such that the Company's percentage of Cephas' income is recognized as income on
its investment; and likewise, any loss by Cephas is recognized as a loss on the
Company's investment. For 2005, the Company recognized income from this
investment of $333,000 compared with income of $381,000 in 2004. The Company
believes that as of December 31, 2005, there is no impairment with respect to
this investment.

In late 2005, the Company sold approximately $80 million of available-for-sale
securities as part of a portfolio restructuring that resulted in a pre-tax loss
of approximately $1.5 million. Proceeds from the sale have been primarily used
to acquire higher-yielding securities, which is expected to have a positive
impact on interest income in future periods.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005, were $62.1 million,
an increase of 6.7% over noninterest expenses of $58.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004. Changes in the various components of noninterest
expense are discussed below.

Personnel-related expenses comprise the largest segment of noninterest expense,
representing 58.2% of noninterest expenses in 2005, compared to 58.4% in 2004.
Total personnel-related expenses increased by $2.2 million or 6.4% in 2005, to
$36.1 million from $34.0 million. The increase in personnel-related expenses is

                                       18


concentrated in salaries and wages and reflects an increased number of employees
and salary increases. Average full-time equivalents (FTEs) increased from 578
for the year ended December 31, 2004, to 584 for the year ended December 31,
2005. Tompkins Insurance Agencies' acquisition of Banfield & Associates, Inc. in
late 2004 contributed to the increase in FTEs. Also included in 2005 salaries
and wages was $63,000 resulting from the decision to accelerate unvested stock
options for all non-executives in late 2005. The change in accounting rules for
accounting for stock options will result in an increase in personnel related
expenses in 2006 and future years. Stock option expense related to unvested
stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005, is expected to be approximately
$417,000 (pre-tax) in 2006. Option grants made after December 31, 2005 will add
additional expense under FASB's new accounting standard SFAS No. 123R,
"Share-Based Payments" as discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Recent Accounting Standards" and
in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report.

Also included in personnel-related expenses are post-retirement benefits, which
were also up over prior year. Post-retirement benefits expense did benefit from
a change in the Company's post-retirement health care plan during 2005. Refer to
"Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in Part II, Item 8. of this Report. The calculation of the expenses and
liability related to pensions and post-retirement benefits requires estimates
and assumptions of key factors including, but not limited to, discount rate,
return on plan assets, future salary increases, and life expectancies of plan
participants. Management considers its accounting policy for pensions and
post-retirement benefits to be a critical accounting policy given the
assumptions that are required. The Company uses an actuarial firm in making
these estimates and assumptions. Changes in these assumptions due to market
conditions, governing laws and regulations, or Company specific circumstances
may result in material changes to the Company's post-retirement expenses and
liabilities.

Expense for premises, furniture, and fixtures totaled $7.7 million in 2005, an
increase of $569,000 or 8.0% over expense of $7.1 million in 2004. Recent
additions to the Company's branch network, including the Mount Kisco office of
Mahopac National Bank, which opened in July 2004, and the opening of the
Tompkins Financial Center in Batavia, New York, in early 2005, as well as higher
real estate taxes, insurance and utility costs contributed to the increased
expenses for bank premises and furniture and fixtures year-over-year.

Marketing expense is up 16.1% in 2005 over 2004. Planned marketing initiatives
for 2005 accounted for the increase in marketing expenditures over the prior
year.

Professional fees totaled $1.5 million in 2005 compared with $1.7 million in
2004. The $184,000 or 11.1% decline in this category is mainly a result of lower
expenses related to the Company's compliance with the internal control over
financial reporting requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
External costs for professional services related to the implementation and
compliance with Section 404 were $618,000 in 2004, whereas ongoing compliance
costs in 2005 included the addition of one staff position and $185,000 in costs
related to external professional services.

Software licenses and maintenance expenses were $1.8 million, an increase of
$325,000 or 22.4% over 2004. Increases in annual maintenance contracts
contributed to the increase in this category, as did expenses related to the
implementation of new systems.

Other operating expenses totaled $10.9 million in 2005, which is up 7.1% over
the same period in 2004. The increase was distributed across the following
expense categories: business development, printing and supplies, software
amortization, audits and examinations, and education and training.

The Company's efficiency ratio, defined as operating expense excluding
amortization of intangible assets, divided by tax-equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income before securities gains and losses (increase in the cash
surrender value of COLI is shown on a tax equivalent basis), was 55.5% in 2005,
compared to 56.1% in 2004. Tax equivalency was based upon a 40% tax rate.
Excluding the tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt securities, tax-exempt
loans/leases, and COLI income, the efficiency ratio would be 57.3% in 2005 and
58.0% in 2004.

Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Minority interest expense represents the portion of net income in consolidated
majority-owned subsidiaries that is attributable to the minority owners of a
subsidiary. The Company had minority interest expense of $131,000 in 2005
compared to $133,000 in 2004, related to minority interests in three real estate
investment trusts, which are substantially owned by the Company's banking
subsidiaries.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes provides for Federal and New York State income
taxes. The 2005 provision was $13.2 million, compared to $12.5 million in 2004.
The increase was primarily due to a higher level of taxable income. The
effective tax rate for the Company decreased in 2005 to 32.3%, from 32.8% in
2004. The decrease in the effective rate in 2005 compared with 2004 is due to
higher levels of tax-advantaged income, such as income from investments in
municipal bonds, economic zone credits, and new market tax credits as well as
additional investments in real estate investment trusts in 2005. Legislation has
been proposed at the State level that would change the tax treatment of
dividends paid by real estate investment trusts ("REIT") and reduce the State

                                       19


tax rate for financial institutions to 6.5%. Each of the Company's banking
subsidiaries is a majority owner in a REIT. If the law is passed in its current
form, the expected impact on the Company would be an increased tax expense of
approximately $632,000.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Comparison of December 31, 2004 and 2003 results)

General

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004, was up 5.8% to $25.6 million,
compared to $24.2 million in 2003. On a per share basis, the Company earned
$2.81 per diluted share in 2004, compared to $2.66 per diluted share in 2003. In
addition to growth in earnings per share, key performance measurements for the
Company, include return on average shareholders' equity (ROE) and return on
average assets (ROA). ROE was 15.68% in 2004, compared to 15.90% in 2003, while
ROA was 1.32% in 2004, down from 1.37% in 2003. The declines in ROA and ROE
reflect the fact that total assets and total equity grew more rapidly in 2004
than did net income. Despite modest declines in these performance measures, ROA
and ROE for Tompkins continue to compare favorably to bank holding company peer
ratios widely available from the Federal Reserve Board.

The low interest rate environment in 2003 and 2004 and the narrow spread between
short-term rates and long-term rates made 2004 a challenging year. Over the past
two years, yields on the Company's earning assets have moved downward more
rapidly than the interest cost on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities.
Consequently, the Company experienced a compression of its net interest margin
over the past two years. To offset the effects of a compressed net interest
margin, the Company focused on growing its earning asset base, including both
loans and securities, and on expanding its fee based revenue streams. The
Company was successful in growing its loans portfolio by 9.6% and its core
deposits (time deposits less time deposits of $100,000 or more, brokered
deposits and municipal money market deposits) by 6.7% year-over-year and
expanding its key fee income categories as discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Table 1-Average Statements of Condition and Net Interest Analysis above
illustrates the trend in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the corresponding yield or cost associated with each.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income improved to $73.9 million in 2004, up
from $69.9 million in 2003. Taxable-equivalent net interest income benefited
from growth in earning assets, an improved mix of earning assets, and growth in
deposits. The 125 basis point increase in the prime rate in 2004 had a favorable
impact on commercial loan yields as the Company's prime rate based loans
repriced upwards. The low interest rate environment and the narrower spread
between short-term rates and long-term rates resulted in a decrease in the net
interest margin from 4.28% in 2003, to 4.11% in 2004. The yield on average
earning assets decreased from 5.72% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003,
to 5.40% for fiscal 2004. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased
from 1.76% to 1.60% over the same time period.

Average earning assets increased by $169.2 million or 10.4% in 2004, from $1.6
billion to $1.8 billion. Growth in average earning assets included growth in
both loans and securities. Average loans grew by $86.7 million, which included a
$73.3 million increase in average real estate loans, a $12.3 million increase in
average commercial loans, and a $1.8 million increase in consumer and other
loans. The 2004 growth in real estate loans is net of $14.7 million of loan
sales to Federal agencies.

Average securities (excluding changes in unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities) increased by $75.5 million between 2003 and 2004.
Growth in the securities portfolio includes a $35.2 million increase in average
U.S. Government mortgage-backed securities, a $31.3 million increase in average
U.S. Government agency securities, and a $13.6 million increase in municipal
securities. The upward movement in interest rates in 2004 contributed to slower
prepayments on mortgage-backed securities in 2004 than in 2003. Consequently,
premium amortizations on mortgage-backed securities were lower in 2004 than in
2003. For the year ended December 31, 2004, net premium/discount amortizations
on securities totaled $2.2 million compared with $3.9 million in 2003.

Core deposits, which include demand deposits, savings accounts, non-municipal
money market accounts, and time deposits less than $100,000, represent the
Company's largest and lowest cost funding source. Average core deposits
increased by 8.2% from $1.1 billion in 2003 to $1.2 billion in 2004, providing
funding support for average earning asset growth. Core deposit growth included a
$35.9 million or 13.7% increase in noninterest bearing deposits from $261.7
million to $297.6 million. Additions to the Company's branch network contributed
to the increase in deposits.

Non-core funding sources, which include time deposits of $100,000 or more,
brokered deposits, municipal money market deposits, Federal funds purchased,
securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other borrowings provided
additional sources of funding to support asset growth. Average balances on these
non-core funding sources increased by $68.1 million from $510.1 million at
year-end 2003, to $578.2 million at year-end 2004. A primary component of
non-core funding sources for the Company is municipal money market accounts with
an average balance of $154.1 million during 2004, compared with $152.3 million
during 2003. Average time deposits of $100,000 or more increased by $25.3
million to $138.1 million at year-end 2004. There was some upward movement in
interest rates on some time deposit categories during the latter half of 2004,
which contributed to the growth in this deposit category. The Company has used
borrowings, mainly securities sold under agreements to repurchase with the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), to fund asset growth. The Company used FHLB
advances to fund purchases of investment securities and was able to capitalize
on the spread between the yield earned on the investment securities and the cost
of the FHLB advances. While these transactions benefited net interest income,
the lower yielding investment securities relative to loan yields had a negative
effect on net interest margin.

Table 2-Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income above illustrates changes in
interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in volume (change
in average balance multiplied by prior year rate), changes in rate (change in
rate multiplied by prior year volume), and the net change in net interest
income. The net change attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate
has been allocated to each in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the
change. The $4.0 million increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income from
2003 to 2004 included a $3.8 million increase in interest income and a $200,000
decrease in interest expense. An increased volume of earning assets contributed
to a $6.7 million increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income between
2003 and 2004, while changes in interest rates reduced taxable-equivalent net
interest income by $2.7 million, resulting in the net increase of $4.0 million.

Provision for Loan/Lease Losses

The provision for loan/lease losses was $2.9 million in 2004, compared to $2.5
million in 2003. The increase in 2004 was primarily due to continued growth in
the loan/lease portfolio, as well as the changing composition of the loan/lease
portfolio, which includes increased levels of commercial loans and commercial
real estate loans. Nonperforming loans/leases were $7.6 million at December 31,
2004, representing 0.65% of total loans/leases. Nonperforming loans/leases were
$7.6 million at December 31, 2003, representing 0.71% of total loans/leases. Net
charge-offs of $2.0 million in 2004 represented 0.18% of average loans/leases
during the period, compared to net charge-offs of $2.5 million in 2003,
representing 0.24% of average loans/leases. The weakness in the Western New York
economy contributed to the $2.0 million in net loan/lease charge-offs in 2004
and the $2.5 million in net loan/lease charge-offs in 2003.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for 2004 was $28.0 million, an increase of 10.8% over 2003.
Growth in noninterest income was moderated by the fact that 2003 results
included $970,000 in gains on the sales of loans, compared to $240,000 in gains
on the sales of loans in 2004. The growth trends for key fee generating business
activities were positive for the year. The Company increased its noninterest
income to 28.2% of total revenue in 2004, from 27.2% in 2003.

Trust and investment services generated $5.2 million in revenue in 2004, an
increase of 20.5% over revenue of $4.3 million in 2003. Solid new business
generation and generally better equity market conditions contributed to the
increase in trust fee income. The market value of assets managed by, or in
custody of, Tompkins Investment Services increased by $105.3 million or 7.6% to
$1.5 billion at December 31, 2004, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2003.
Strong estate management fees in 2004 also contributed to the revenue growth.

Service charges on deposit accounts were up $767,000 or 10.6% to $8.0 million in
2004, compared to $7.2 million in 2003. An increase in the number of transaction
accounts, fee increases, and additional deposit services contributed to the
growth in service charges on deposit accounts in 2004 over 2003. The average
dollar volume of noninterest-bearing accounts increased by $35.9 million between
2003 and 2004, from $261.7 million to $297.6 million, while interest-bearing
checking, savings and money market accounts increased by $48.4 million over the
same period, from $726.6 million to $775.0 million. Overdraft fees, the largest
component of service charges on deposit accounts, benefited from the
implementation of an automated overdraft payment program in mid-2002 for
personal accounts. This overdraft program was expanded in mid-2004 to encompass
a broader customer base, including commercial accounts.

Insurance commissions and fees were $6.4 million in 2004, an increase of $1.1
million or 21.1% over 2003. Tompkins Insurance Agencies' acquisition of an
insurance agency in late 2003 contributed to the growth in commission income in
2004 over 2003. Additionally, Tompkins Insurance Agencies continued its efforts
to offer services to customers of The Bank of Castile by locating Tompkins
Insurance Agencies representatives in offices of The Bank of Castile. Tompkins
Insurance shared 4 office locations with The Bank of Castile. Tompkins
Insurance's late 2004 acquisition of Banfield & Associates, a small insurance
agency in Ithaca, New York, provided an opportunity to offer insurance services
to the customers of Tompkins Trust Company.

Card services income of $2.5 million in 2004 was up $198,000 or 8.7% over income
of $2.3 million in 2003. An increased number of cardholders and higher
transaction volume contributed to the growth in card services income in 2004.
Card services have been a strong contributor to revenues as technology has
created opportunities to better serve customers with new products.

Noninterest income also includes $1.2 million from increases in cash surrender
value of corporate owned life insurance (COLI), up from $1.0 million in 2003.
The increase in earnings in 2004 compared to 2003 reflects improved returns on
the insurance assets and the payoff of certain loans against these policies. The
Company's average investment in COLI was $23.3 million during 2004, compared to
$22.0 million during 2003. The Company repaid approximately $449,000 of policy
loans in 2003. Although income associated with the insurance policies is not
included in interest income, increases in the cash surrender value produced a
tax-adjusted return of approximately 8.53% in 2004, 7.67% in 2003, and 9.08% in
2002.

Net gains from loan sales fell significantly in 2004, as the interest rate
environment was not as favorable for loan originations and sales as that in
2003. Loans sold in the secondary market are typically longer term fixed rate
residential mortgage loans. With the rising interest rate environment, fixed
rate loan production including the refinancing of loans currently serviced by
the Company slowed considerably in 2004, resulting in a lower volume of loan
sales. The volume of loan sales fell from $52.6 million in 2003 to $14.7 million
in 2004, while net gains on loan sales totaled $240,000 in 2004 compared to
$970,000 in 2003.

                                       21


The Company has an investment in a small business investment company
partnership, Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. ("Cephas"), totaling $3.4 million at
December 31, 2004, a decrease from $3.5 million at December 31, 2003. For 2004,
the Company recognized income from this investment of $381,000 compared with
income of $350,000 in 2003. The Company believes that as of December 31, 2004,
there is no impairment with respect to this investment.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004, were $58.2 million,
an increase of 8.1% over noninterest expenses of $53.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. Changes in the various components of noninterest
expense are discussed below.

Personnel-related expenses comprise the largest segment of noninterest expense,
representing 58.4% of noninterest expenses in 2004, compared to 57.5% in 2003.
Total personnel-related expenses increased by $3.0 million or 9.8% in 2004, to
$34.0 million from $31.0 million. The increase in personnel-related expenses is
mainly concentrated in salaries and wages and reflects an increased number of
employees and salary increases. Average full-time equivalents (FTEs) increased
from 546 for the year ended December 31, 2003, to 578 for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase in employees is associated primarily with
staffing of new offices, including the Auburn, New York office (July 2003) of
the Trust Company and the Mt. Kisco, New York office (June 2004) of Mahopac
National Bank, and Tompkins Insurance Agencies' acquisition of Youngs & Linfoot,
Inc., a small insurance agency, in late 2003.

Expense for premises, furniture, and fixtures totaled $7.1 million in 2004, an
increase of $472,000 or 7.1% over expense of $6.7 million in 2003. The additions
to the Company's branch network mentioned above, as well as higher taxes,
insurance and utilities contributed to the increase in bank premises and
furniture and fixture expense.

External expenses related to the Company's efforts to comply with Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act totaled $618,000 in 2004 compared with $50,000 in 2003.
Approximately $405,000 of the $618,000 was included in professional fees and
contributed to the increase in professional fees from $869,000 in 2003 to $1.7
million in 2004. The remaining $213,000 of expenses related to Sarbanes-Oxley is
included in other operating expenses.

Software licensing and maintenance expenses totaled $1.5 million in 2004, an
increase of $272,000 or 23.1% over 2003. The increase reflects upgrades to our
mainframe computer system.

Other operating expenses were $11.4 million for the 12 months ended December 31,
2004, which were in line with the $11.5 million in 2003. This expense category
includes postage and courier, printing and supplies, card services, and audits
and examinations. Audit and examination fees were up due to the additional
requirements associated with the implementation of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting process under Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Other losses were down $200,000, as operating expenses for 2003 included
approximately $400,000 of losses resulting from fraudulent credit card
transactions perpetrated against Tompkins Trust Company and several other banks
in the third quarter of 2003.

The Company's efficiency ratio, defined as operating expense excluding
amortization of intangible assets, divided by tax-equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income before securities gains and losses (increase in the cash
surrender value of COLI is shown on a tax equivalent basis), was 56.1% in 2004,
compared to 55.7% in 2003. Tax equivalency was based upon a 40% tax rate.
Excluding the tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt securities, tax-exempt
loans/leases, and COLI income, the efficiency ratio would be 58.0% in 2004 and
57.3% in 2003.

Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

The Company had minority interest expense of $133,000 in 2004 compared to
$134,000 in 2003, related to minority interests in three real estate investment
trusts, which are substantially owned by the Company's banking subsidiaries. In
2004, the Trust Company purchased 50 shares of its real estate investment trust
from the minority owners.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes provides for Federal and New York State income
taxes. The 2004 provision was $12.5 million, compared to $12.1 million in 2003.
The increase was primarily due to a higher level of taxable income. The
effective tax rate for the Company decreased in 2004 to 32.8%, from 33.3% in
2003. The reduced rate reflects the effects of increased tax-exempt income from
loans and leases, securities, and life insurance policies as well as an increase
in assets in its real estate investment trusts in 2004.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

During 2005, total assets grew by $136.6 million or 6.9% to $2.1 billion at
December 31, 2005, compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2004. Table
3-Balance Sheet Comparisons below provides a comparison of average and year-end
balances of selected balance sheet categories over the past three years, and the
change in those balances between 2004 and 2005. Over the past several years, the
Company has focused on growing average earning assets to increase net interest
income and offset the negative impact of a narrowing spread between the yield on
earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Earning asset
growth in 2005 consisted of a $99.2 million increase in loans, mainly commercial
real estate, residential real estate, and commercial loans. Loan growth is net

                                       22


of $16.5 million in sales of fixed rate residential mortgage loans in 2005. A
more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio is provided below in this section
under the caption "Loan/Leases".

The Company's investment portfolio (excluding fair value adjustments on
available-for-sale securities) was up 1.6% to approximately $669.4 million at
year-end 2005. The Company sold roughly $80 million of available-for-sale
securities in the fourth quarter of 2005 at a pre-tax loss of $1.5 million to
restructure its investment portfolio. The proceeds from the sale were reinvested
in higher yielding securities, mainly mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations. The current interest rate environment has
limited opportunities to acquire securities at favorable yields, spreads over
funding costs, and risk profiles. Consequently, the Company has used cash flow
to reduce borrowings.

Deposit growth generated by the Company's branch network has supported the
majority of the growth in earning assets. Core deposits remain the primary
source of funding with core deposits increasing by $46.3 million or 3.9% to $1.2
billion at year-end 2005. Time deposits of $100,000 and more increased $145.7
million or 97.1%, to $295.7 million at year-end 2005, from $150.1 million at
year end 2004. The Company also uses wholesale funding sources, which include
borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, to support asset
growth. These funding sources remained level between year-end 2005 and year-end
2004 at $216.3 million and $217.0 million, respectively. Refer to "Note 9
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased" and
"Note 10 Other Borrowings" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part
II, Item 8. of this Report on Form 10-K for further details on these funding
sources.

Shareholders' Equity

The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company contained in Part II, Item 8.
of this Report, detail the changes in equity capital, including payments to
shareholders in the form of cash dividends. The Company continued its long
history of increasing cash dividends with a per share increase of 7.3% in 2005,
which follows an increase of 7.9% in 2004. Dividends per share amounted to $1.17
in 2005, compared to $1.09 in 2004, and $1.01 in 2003. Cash dividends paid
represented 37.9%, 38.1%, and 37.3% of after-tax net income in each of 2005,
2004, and 2003, respectively.

                                       23


Total shareholders' equity was up $10.2 million or 6.0% to $181.2 million at
December 31, 2005, from $171.0 million at December 31, 2004. On February 15,
2005, the Company paid a 10% stock dividend. The stock dividend has no impact on
the Company's total equity capital, but does result in a reallocation of equity,
primarily by reducing undivided profits and increasing surplus. Undivided
profits were down $25.3 million between year-end 2004 and year-end 2005, from
$94.5 million to $69.2 million, while surplus increased by $42.8 million, from
$75.8 million at December 31, 2004, to $118.7 million at December 31, 2005,
mainly due to the 10% stock dividend. The decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) is due to an increase in unrealized losses on
available-for-sale securities largely driven by increases in short-term interest
rates.

On July 27, 2004, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase
plan (the "2004 Plan") to replace the 2002 Plan, which expired in July 2004. The
2004 Plan authorizes the repurchase of up to 440,000 shares of the Tompkins
outstanding common stock over a two-year period. No shares were repurchased
under the 2004 Plan in 2004. In 2005, the Company repurchased 21,984 shares
under the 2004 Plan, all during the second quarter 2005, at an average price of
$40.79.

Total shareholders' equity was up $12.0 million or 7.6% to $171.0 million at
December 31, 2004, from $159.0 million at December 31, 2003. Undivided profits
were up $15.8 million between year-end 2003 and year-end 2004, from $78.7
million to $94.5 million. Surplus decreased by $1.1 million, from $76.9 million
at December 31, 2003, to $75.8 million at December 31, 2004, as the Company
repurchased shares through its 2002 stock repurchase plan, which expired in July
2004. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income is due to a
decrease in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities largely due to
increases in short-term interest rates.

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to quantitative capital
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. Consistent with
the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the Company and its
subsidiary banks maintain capital ratios well above regulatory minimums, as
detailed in "Note 17 Regulations and Supervision" in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report on Form 10-K.

Securities

The Company's securities portfolio (excluding fair value adjustments on
available-for-sale securities) at December 31, 2005, was $669.4 million,
reflecting an increase of 1.6% from $658.9 million at December 31, 2004. "Note 2
Securities" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of
this Report, details the types of securities held, the carrying and fair values,
and the contractual maturities as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. The amortized
cost and fair value of the Company's securities portfolio at December 31, 2003,
is presented in the table below. Qualified tax-exempt debt securities, primarily
obligations of state and political subdivisions, were $129.5 million at December
31, 2005, or 19.3% of total securities, compared to $112.3 million, or 17.0% of
total securities at December 31, 2004. Mortgage-backed securities, consisting
mainly of securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, totaled $321.2 million
at December 31, 2005, compared to $300.4 million at December 31, 2004.

Available-for-sale securities include $12.4 million in nonmarketable equity
securities, which are carried at cost since fair values are not readily
determinable. This figure includes $10.9 million of Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) stock, and $720,000 of Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock, which are
required to be held for regulatory purposes and for borrowings availability. The
required investment in FHLB stock is tied to the Company's borrowing levels with
the FHLB. Substantially all of the above mortgage-backed securities are direct
pass through securities or collateralized mortgage obligations issued or backed
by Federal agencies.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities by contractual maturity are
shown in the following table. Expected maturities will differ from contractual
maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with
or without call or prepayment penalties.

Management's policy is to purchase investment grade securities that, on average,
have relatively short expected durations. This policy helps mitigate interest
rate risk and provides sources of liquidity without significant risk to capital.
A large percentage of securities are direct obligations of the Federal
government and its agencies. Expected maturities will differ from contractual
maturities presented in Table 4-Maturity Distribution below, because issuers may
have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty and
mortgage-backed securities will pay throughout the periods prior to contractual
maturity. The contractual maturity distribution of debt securities and
mortgage-backed securities as of December 31, 2005, along with the weighted
average yield of each category, is presented in Table 4-Maturity Distribution
below. Balances are shown at amortized cost and weighted average yields are
calculated on a fully taxable-equivalent basis.

Residential real estate loans of $475.2 million increased by $24.1 million or
5.4% in 2005, from $451.0 million in 2004, and comprised 37.3% of total loans
and leases at December 31, 2005. A low interest rate environment coupled with
new branch offices contributed to the growth in the residential portfolio. The
growth in residential loans in 2005 is net of $16.5 million of loan sales to
Federal agencies.

Residential real estate mortgage loans are generally underwritten in accordance
with secondary market guidelines to enhance the liquidity of these generally
longer-term assets. As part of its asset/liability management strategy the
Company may sell certain residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.
During 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company sold residential mortgage loans
totaling $16.5 million, $14.7 million, and $52.6 million, respectively, and
realized gains on these sales of $238,000, $240,000, and $970,000, respectively.
When residential mortgage loans are sold or securitized, the Company typically
retains all servicing, providing the Company with a source of fee income. In
connection with the sales in 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company recorded
mortgage-servicing assets of $98,000, $95,200, and $688,000, respectively.
Amortization of mortgage servicing amounted to $127,000 in 2005, $168,000 in
2004 and $343,000 in 2003. Residential mortgage loans serviced for others
totaled $135.6 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $138.8 million at
December 31, 2004. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled $949,000 at
December 31, 2005, and $978,000 at December 31, 2004, and are reported as
intangible assets on the consolidated statements of condition.

Commercial real estate loans increased by $50.8 million, or 17.1%, in 2005 over
2004, from $296.6 million in 2004 to $347.4 million in 2005. Commercial real
estate loans of $347.4 million represented 27.3% of total loans and leases at
December 31, 2005. Commercial loans totaled $306.4 million at December 31, 2005,
which is a 10.6% increase from commercial loans of $277.1 million at December
31, 2004. Growth in commercial lending, including commercial real estate
reflects a continued emphasis on commercial lending. Management believes that
the Company's community banking strategy can provide value to small business
customers, while commercial lending products are typically attractive to the
Company from a yield and interest rate risk perspective.

The consumer loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, indirect
automobile financing, credit card loans, and overdraft lines of credit. The
Company faces significant competition from local and national lenders as well as
auto finance companies for consumer lending products. Consumer and other loans
were $100.2 million at December 31, 2005, down from $101.0 million at December
31, 2004.

The lease portfolio decreased by 35.7% to $14.9 million at December 31, 2005
from $23.1 million at December 31, 2004. The lease portfolio has traditionally
consisted of leases on vehicles for consumers and small businesses. Competition
for automobile financing has led to a decline in the consumer lease portfolio
over the past several years. Management continues to focus on leasing
opportunities, primarily commercial leasing and municipal leasing, which have
been the primary sources of new business in the lease portfolio. As of December
31, 2005, commercial leases and municipal leases represented 99.8% of total
leases, while consumer leases made up the remaining 0.2%. As of December 31,
2004, commercial leases and municipal leases represented 98.5% of total leases,
while consumer leases made up the remaining 1.5%.

The Company's loan/lease customers are located primarily in the upstate New York
communities served by its three subsidiary banks. The Trust Company operates
fourteen banking offices in the counties of Tompkins, Cayuga, Cortland, and

                                       26


Schuyler, New York. The Bank of Castile operates thirteen banking offices in
towns situated in and around the areas commonly known as the Letchworth State
Park area and the Genesee Valley region of New York State. Mahopac National Bank
is located in Putnam County, New York and operates four banking offices in that
county, two full service offices in neighboring Dutchess County, New York and
one full service office in Westchester County, New York. Other than general
economic risks, management is not aware of any material concentrations of credit
risk to any industry or individual borrower. Further information on the
Company's lending activities, including related party transactions, is provided
in "Note 4 Loan/Lease Classification Summary and Related Party Transactions" in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report.


The Reserve for Loan/Lease Losses

Management reviews the adequacy of the reserve for loan/lease losses (reserve)
on a regular basis. Management considers the accounting policy relating to the
reserve to be a critical accounting policy, given the inherent uncertainty in
evaluating the levels of the reserve required to cover credit losses in the
portfolio and the material effect that assumptions could have on the Company's
results of operations. Factors considered in determining the adequacy of the
reserve and the related provision include: management's approach to granting new
credit; the ongoing monitoring of existing credits by the internal and external
loan review functions; the growth and composition of the loan/lease portfolio;
comments received during the course of independent examinations; current local
economic conditions; past due and nonperforming loan statistics; the impact of
competition on loan structuring and pricing; the estimated values of collateral;
and a historical review of loan/lease loss experience.

The Company has developed a methodology to measure the amount of estimated loan
loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio to ensure that an adequate reserve
is maintained. The methodology includes an estimate of exposure for the
following: specifically reviewed and graded loans, historical loss experience by
product type, past due and nonperforming loans, and other internal and external
factors such as local and regional economic conditions, growth trends, and
credit policy and underwriting standards. The methodology includes a review of
loans considered impaired in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan", as well as other commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans that
are evaluated using an internal rating system. An estimated exposure amount is
assigned to these internally reviewed credits based upon a review of the
borrower's financial condition, payment history, collateral adequacy, and
business conditions. For commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans not
specifically reviewed, and for homogenous loan portfolios such as residential
mortgage loans and consumer loans, estimated exposure amounts are assigned based
upon historical loss experience, past due status, and management's judgment of
the effects of recent and forecasted economic conditions on portfolio
performance. Lastly, additional reserves are maintained based upon management
judgment and assessment of other quantitative and qualitative factors such as
regional and local economic conditions, concentrations of credit, industry
concerns, adverse market changes in estimated or appraised collateral value, and
portfolio growth trends.

Since the methodology is based upon historical experience and trends as well as
management's judgment, factors may arise that result in different estimations.
Significant factors that could give rise to changes in these estimates may
include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions in the local
area, concentration of risk, changes in interest rates, and declines in local
property values. While management's evaluation of the reserve for loan/lease
losses as of December 31, 2005, considers the reserve to be adequate, under
adversely different conditions or assumptions, the Company would need to
increase the reserve.

The allocation of the Company's reserve as of December 31, 2005, and each of the
previous four years is illustrated in Table 6- Allocation of the Reserve for
Loan/Lease Losses, below.

Management is committed to early recognition of loan problems and to maintaining
an adequate reserve. The above allocation is neither indicative of the specific
amounts or the loan categories in which future charge-offs may occur, nor is it
an indicator of future loss trends. The allocation of the reserve to each
category does not restrict the use of the reserve to absorb losses in any
category. The increase in the reserve between year-end 2004 and year-end 2005
reflects higher allocations due to growth in the loan portfolio and additional
allocations for specifically reviewed and graded loans.

The level of future charge-offs are dependent upon a variety of factors such as
national and local economic conditions, trends in various industries,
underwriting characteristics, and conditions unique to each borrower. Given
uncertainties surrounding these factors, it is difficult to estimate future
losses.

The principal balances of nonperforming loans/leases, including impaired
loans/leases, as of December 31 are detailed in the table below.

The reserve represented 1.08% of total loans/leases outstanding at December 31,
2005, up slightly from 1.07% at December 31, 2004. The reserve coverage of
nonperforming loans (loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual loans, and
restructured troubled debt) was 3.31 times at December 31, 2005, compared to
1.65 times at December 31, 2004. The difference between the interest income that
would have been recorded if these loans/leases had been paid in accordance with
their original terms and the interest income recorded for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was not significant. A discussion of the
Company's policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status is included in "Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report.

A weak economic climate in the Western New York market served by the Company
contributed to the increase in commercial loan charge-offs in 2003 and a higher
than historical level in 2004. The Western New York market was negatively
impacted by cutbacks and layoffs by some major employers in Rochester, New York
and by softness in the agricultural related businesses. Conditions have been
improving in this market area.

Management reviews the loan portfolio continuously for evidence of potential
problem loans/leases. Potential problem loans/leases are loans/leases that are
currently performing in accordance with contractual terms, but where known
information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes
management to have doubt as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the
present loan payment terms and may result in disclosure of such loans/leases as
nonperforming at sometime in the future. Management considers loans/leases
classified as Substandard, which continue to accrue interest, to be potential
problem loans/leases. The Company, through its internal loan review function
identified 34 commercial relationships totaling $20.0 million at December 31,
2005, and 25 commercial relationships totaling $13.9 million at December 31,
2004, which it classified as Substandard, which continue to accrue interest.
These loans remain in a performing status due to a variety of factors, including
payment history, the value of collateral supporting the credits, and personal or
government guarantees. These factors, when considered in the aggregate, give
management reason to believe that the current risk exposure on these loans does
not warrant accounting for these loans as nonperforming. Approximately $3.7
million of these loans are backed by guarantees of U.S. government agencies.
While in a performing status as of December 31, 2005, these loans exhibit
certain risk factors, which have the potential to cause them to become
nonperforming. Accordingly, management's attention is focused on these credits,
which are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis.


Deposits and Other Liabilities

Total deposits of $1.7 billion at December 31, 2005, reflected an increase of
$122.1 million over total deposits at December 31, 2004. Deposit growth
consisted of core deposits, which increased by $46.3 million, and time deposits
of $100,000 or more, which were up $145.7 million. Municipal money market
deposits were down by $75.0 million to $97.2 million. The rise in short-term
market rates led to competitive pressures to increase the rates on time deposits
over the period causing consumers, businesses and municipalities to move excess
funds from lower yielding savings and money markets to time deposits. Deposits
growth occurred at all three of the Company's banking subsidiaries and included
growth in mature bank offices as well as newer bank offices. Bank offices opened
less than 3 years, as of December 31, 2005, contributed $13.2 million to the
growth in 2005, while the remaining $108.9 million of growth was in offices

opened over 3 years. Table 1-Average Statements of Condition and Net Interest
Analysis above shows the average balance and average rate paid on the Company's
primary deposit categories for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and
2003. A maturity schedule of time deposits outstanding at December 31, 2005, is
included in "Note 8 Deposits" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Part II, Item 8. of this Report.

The Company's liability for securities sold under agreements to repurchase
("repurchase agreements") amounted to $152.7 million at December 31, 2005,
roughly unchanged from $153.7 million at December 31, 2004.

The Company uses both retail and wholesale repurchase agreements. Retail
repurchase agreements are arrangements with local customers of the Company, in
which the Company agrees to sell securities to the customer with an agreement to
repurchase those securities at a specified later date. Retail repurchase
agreements totaled $67.7 million at December 31, 2005, and $52.8 million at
December 31, 2004. Management generally views local repurchase agreements as an
alternative to large time deposits. The Company's wholesale repurchase
agreements are primarily with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and amounted to
$85.0 million at December 31, 2005 and $100.9 million at December 31, 2004.
Refer to "Note 9 Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal
Funds Purchased" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item
8. of this Report for further details on the Company's repurchase agreements.

The Company's other borrowings include amounts owed to the FHLB and totaled
$63.7 million at year-end 2005, in line with the $63.3 million at year-end 2004.
Borrowings with the FHLB outstanding at December 31, 2005, included $249,000 due
in one year or less, and $63.2 million due in more than one year. The weighted
average interest rate on other borrowings due in more than one year was 4.35% at
December 31, 2005. Refer to "Note 10 Other Borrowings" in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Report for further details on
the Company's term borrowings with the FHLB.

Other borrowings include a Treasury Tax and Loan Note account with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York totaling $100,000 at December 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Tompkins Insurance had borrowings of
$142,000 and $94,000, respectively, from unrelated parties.


LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of adequate
funding sources to satisfy the demand for credit, deposit withdrawals, and
business investment opportunities. The Company's large, stable core deposit base
and strong capital position are the foundation for the Company's liquidity
position. Asset and liability positions are monitored primarily through
Asset/Liability Management Committees of the Company's subsidiary banks
individually and on a combined basis. These Committees review periodic reports
on the liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions. Comparisons with
industry and peer groups are also monitored. The Company's strong reputation in
the communities it serves, along with its strong financial condition, provide
access to numerous sources of liquidity as described below. Management believes
these diverse liquidity sources provide sufficient means to meet all demands on
the Company's liquidity that are reasonably likely to occur.

Core deposits remain a key-funding source, increasing by $46.3 million to $1.2
billion at year-end 2005. Core deposits represented 74.2% of total deposits and
64.9% of total liabilities at December 31, 2005 compared to 77.0% of total
deposits and 66.9% of total liabilities at December 31, 2004. Contributing to
the growth in core deposits is the Company's continued focus on demand deposit
growth, which increased $39.8 million or 12.4% year over year.

Non-core funding sources, which include time deposits of $100,000 or more,
brokered time deposits, municipal money market accounts, repurchase agreements,
and other borrowings, increased by $75.1 million between year-end 2004 and
year-end 2005, from $575.9 million to $651.0 million. As a percentage of total
liabilities, non-core funding sources increased from 32.0% at year-end 2004 to
33.8% at year-end 2005. The increase in the dollar volume of non-core funding
was concentrated in time deposits of $100,000 or more. Rates on these products
began to move upwards due to competitive market conditions. The increase in time
deposits of $100,000 or more was partially offset by a reduction of municipal
money market balances, as municipal customers looked to maximize their returns
by moving to short term time deposits.

Non-core funding sources may require securities to be pledged against the
underlying liability. Securities carried at $516.8 million and $522.1 million at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were pledged as collateral for public
deposits and other borrowings, and pledged or sold under agreements to
repurchase. Pledged securities represented 78.4% of total securities at December
31, 2005, compared to 79.1% of total securities at December 31, 2004.

The Company's liquidity is enhanced by ready access to national and regional
wholesale funding sources including Federal funds purchased, repurchase
agreements, negotiable certificates of deposit, and FHLB advances. Through its
subsidiary banks, the Company has borrowing relationships with the FHLB and
correspondent banks, which provide secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. At
December 31, 2005, the unused borrowing capacity on established lines with the
FHLB was $396.6 million. As members of the FHLB, the Company's subsidiary banks
can use unencumbered mortgage-related assets to secure additional borrowings
from the FHLB. At December 31, 2005, total unencumbered residential real estate
assets were $285.5 million. Additional assets may also qualify as collateral for
FHLB advances upon approval of the FHLB.

                                       30


Short-term investments, consisting of securities with maturities of one year or
less, totaled $40.5 million at year-end 2005 and $33.8 million at year-end 2004.

Cash flow from the loan and investment portfolios provides a significant source
of liquidity. These assets may have stated maturities in excess of one year, but
have monthly interest payments and principal reductions. Total mortgage-backed
securities, at fair value, were $315.5 million at December 31, 2005 compared
with $301.9 million at December 31, 2004. Using current prepayment assumptions,
cash flow from the investment portfolio is estimated to be approximately $120.6
million in 2006. Investments in residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and
leases totaled approximately $587.4 million at December 31, 2005. Aggregate
amortization from monthly payments on these loan assets provides significant
additional cash flow to the Company. Table 8-Loan Maturity details total
scheduled maturities of selected loan categories.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the normal course of business the Company is party to certain financial
instruments, which in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, are not included in its Consolidated Statements of
Condition. These transactions include commitments under stand-by letters of
credit, unused portions of lines of credit, and commitments to fund new loans
and are undertaken to accommodate the financing needs of the Company's
customers. Loan commitments are agreements by the Company to lend monies at a
future date. These loan and letter of credit commitments are subject to the same
credit policies and reviews as the Company's loans. Because most of these loan
commitments expire within one year from the date of issue, the total amount of
these loan commitments as of December 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative
of future cash requirements. Further information on these commitments and
contingent liabilities is provided in "Note 14 Commitments and Contingent
Liabilities" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8.
of this Report.


CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Company leases land, buildings, and equipment under operating lease
arrangements extending to the year 2090. Most leases include options to renew
for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years. In addition, the Company has a software
contract for its core banking application through August 1, 2009, along with
contracts for more specialized software programs through May 15, 2008. Further
information on the Company's lease arrangements is provided in "Note 7 Bank
Premises and Equipment" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part
II, Item 8. of this Report. The Company's contractual obligations as of December
31, 2005, are shown in Table 9-Contractual Obligations and Commitments below.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2004, The FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." This
Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related implementation
guidance. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based
compensation using APB No. 25 and requires a public entity to measure the cost
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award. The grant-date fair value of employee stock options and
similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for
the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices
for the same or similar instruments are available). For equity awards that are
modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized
in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over
the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. In the
future, the notes to consolidated financial statements will include information
to assist users of financial information to understand the nature of share-based
payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial
statements. On April 14, 2005, the FASB amended the date for compliance with
SFAS No. 123R to the first interim or annual reporting period of the first
fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R is therefore
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company will apply the
modified prospective method, which requires that compensation expense be
recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock upon adoption of
SFAS 123R. The Company will use the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining
the fair value of share-based payments to employees, which will then be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin

FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, "The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments" (the
"FSP"), was issued on November 3, 2005 and addresses the determination of when
an investment is considered impaired; whether the impairment is other than
temporary; and how to measure an impairment loss. The FSP also addresses
accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment on a debt security, and requires certain
disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP replaces the impairment guidance in
EITF Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing authoritative literature
concerning other-than-temporary determinations (principally Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 59).
Under the FSP, impairment losses must be recognized in earnings equal to the
entire difference between the security's cost and its fair value at the
financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries subsequent to
that date. The FSP also requires that an investor recognize an
other-than-temporary impairment loss when a decision to sell a security has been
made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully
recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the
application of the FSP will have a material impact on its financial condition,
results of operations or financial statement disclosures.


Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk is the primary market risk category associated with the
Company's operations. Interest rate risk refers to the volatility of earnings
caused by changes in interest rates. The Company manages interest rate risk
using income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in its on-balance
sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments at a given point in time by
showing the potential effect of interest rate shifts on net interest income for
future periods. Each quarter the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee
reviews the simulation results to determine whether the exposure of net interest
income to changes in interest rates remains within board-approved levels. The
Committee also discusses strategies to manage this exposure and incorporates
these strategies into the investment and funding decisions of the Company. The
Company does not use derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, to manage its
interest rate risk exposure.

Table 10-Interest Rate Risk Analysis below is a Condensed Static Gap Report,
which illustrates the anticipated repricing intervals of assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 2005. The analysis reflects sensitivity to rising rates in
all repricing intervals shown. This analysis suggests that the Company's net
interest income is more vulnerable to a rising rate environment than it is to
sustained low interest rates.

============================================================================================================================

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

The Company's board of directors has set a policy that interest rate risk
exposure will remain within a range whereby net interest income will not decline
by more than 10% in one year as a result of a 200 basis point change in rates.
Based upon the simulation analysis performed as of December 31, 2005, a 200
basis point upward shift in interest rates over a one-year time frame would
result in a one-year decline in net interest income of approximately 3.14%,
assuming no balance sheet growth and no management action to address balance
sheet mismatches. The same simulation indicates that a 200 basis point decline
in interest rates over a one-year period would result in a decrease in net
interest income of 2.37%. The negative exposure in a rising rate environment is
mainly driven by the repricing assumptions of the Company's core deposit base
and the lag in the repricing of the Company's adjustable rate assets.
Longer-term, the impact of a rising rate environment is positive as the asset
base continues to reset at higher levels, while the repricing of the rate
sensitive liabilities moderates. The negative exposure in the 200 basis point
decline scenario results from the Company's assets repricing downward more
rapidly than the rates on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, mainly
deposits, as deposit rates are at low levels given the historically low interest
rate environment experienced in recent years. The aforementioned percentage
changes in net interest income are from our base case scenario. In our most
recent simulation, the base case scenario, which assumes interest rates remain
unchanged from the date of the simulation, showed a relatively flat net interest
margin during 2006 in the present interest rate environment.

Although the simulation model is useful in identifying potential exposure to
interest rate movements, actual results may differ from those modeled as the
repricing, maturity, and prepayment characteristics of financial instruments may
change to a different degree than modeled. In addition, the model does not
reflect actions that management may employ to manage its interest rate risk
exposure. The Company's current liquidity profile, capital position, and growth
prospects, offer a level of flexibility for management to take actions that
could offset some of the negative effects of unfavorable movements in interest
rates. Management believes the current exposure to changes in interest rates is
not significant in relation to the earnings and capital strength of the Company

Management's Statement of Responsibility

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

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

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

Report of KPMG LLP,

Board of Directors and Shareholders, Tompkins Trustco, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of
Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2005
and 2004, 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, 2005. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Tompkins Trustco,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Tompkins
Trustco, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on
management's assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control
over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tompkins Trustco, Inc:


We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that
Tompkins Trustco, Inc. (the Company) maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Tompkins Trustco, Inc maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of
condition of Tompkins Trustco, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, 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, 2005, and our report dated March 14, 2006 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclose contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items
subject to such estimates and assumptions include the reserve for loan/lease
losses, valuation of intangible assets, deferred income tax assets, and
obligations related to employee benefits. Amounts in the prior years'
consolidated financial statements are reclassified when necessary to conform to
the current year's presentation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
include cash and noninterest bearing balances due from banks, interest bearing
balances due from banks, and Federal funds sold.

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

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

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for any declines in fair
value that are deemed other-than-temporary. A decline in the fair value of any
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be
other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a
new cost basis for the security. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment
losses, management considers, among other factors, the length of time and extent
to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and
near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to
hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
recovery in fair value.

LOANS AND LEASES: Loans are reported at their principal outstanding balance, net
of deferred loan origination fees and costs, and unearned income. The Company
has the ability and intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future, except
for certain residential real estate loans held-for-sale. The Company provides
motor vehicle and equipment financing to its customers through direct financing
leases. These leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable,
plus estimated residual values, less unearned income. Unearned income on direct
financing leases is amortized over the lease terms, resulting in a level rate of
return.

Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the
loan as an adjustment to yield.

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at
the lower of aggregate cost or estimated market value. Fair value is determined
on the basis of the rates quoted in the secondary market. Net unrealized losses
attributable to changes in market interest rates are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income. Loans are generally sold on a
non-recourse basis. The Company may use commitments at the time loans are
originated or identified for sale to mitigate interest rate risk. The
commitments to sell loans are considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133. The
impact of the estimated fair value adjustment was not significant to the
consolidated financial statements.

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

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

                                       43


Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company has developed a methodology to measure the amount of estimated loan
loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio to ensure that an adequate reserve
is maintained. The methodology includes an estimate of exposure for the
following: specifically reviewed and graded loans, historical loss experience by
product type, past due and nonperforming loans, and other internal and external
factors such as local and regional economic conditions, growth trends, and
credit policy and underwriting standards. The methodology includes a review of
loans considered impaired in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan", as well as other commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans that
are evaluated using an internal rating system. An estimated exposure amount is
assigned to these internally reviewed credits based upon a review of the
borrower's financial condition, payment history, collateral adequacy, and
business conditions. For commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans not
specifically reviewed, and for homogenous loan portfolios such as residential
mortgage loans and consumer loans, estimated exposure amounts are assigned based
upon historical loss experience as well as past due status. Lastly, additional
reserves are maintained based upon management judgment and assessment of other
quantitative and qualitative factors such as regional and local economic
conditions, portfolio growth trends, new lending products, and new market areas.

Since the methodology is based upon historical experience and trends as well as
management's judgment, factors may arise that result in different estimations.
Significant factors that could give rise to changes in these estimates may
include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions in the local
area, concentration of risk, and declines in local property values. In addition,
various Federal and State regulatory agencies, as part of their examination
process, review the Company's reserve and may require the Company to recognize
additions to the reserve based on their judgments about information available to
them at the time of their examination which may not be currently available to
management.

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

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

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

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

INCOME TAXES: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes are reviewed quarterly
and reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon the information available,
it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized.

GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value
of assets acquired in a transaction using purchase accounting. The Company tests
goodwill for impairment at least annually.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Other intangible assets include core deposit
intangibles, customer related intangibles, covenants not to compete, and
mortgage servicing rights. Core deposit intangibles represent a premium paid to
acquire a base of stable, low cost deposits in the acquisition of a bank, or a
bank branch, using purchase accounting. The amortization period for core deposit
intangible ranges from 5 years to 10 years. The covenants not to compete are
amortized over 5 to 6 years, while the customer related intangible is amortized
over 6 years. The amortization period is monitored to determine if circumstances
require such periods to be revised. The Company periodically reviews its
intangible assets for changes in circumstances that may indicate the carrying
amount of the asset is impaired. The Company tests its intangible assets for
impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if conditions indicate that an
impairment loss has more likely than not been incurred.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE: Securities sold under agreements
to repurchase (repurchase agreements) are agreements in which the Company
transfers the underlying securities to a third-party custodian's account that
explicitly recognizes the Company's interest in the securities. The agreements
are accounted for as secured financing transactions provided the Company
maintains effective control over the transferred securities and meets other
criteria as specified in SFAS No. 140. The Company's agreements are accounted
for as secured financings; accordingly, the transaction proceeds are reflected
as liabilities and the securities underlying the agreements continue to be
carried in the Company's securities portfolio.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

TREASURY STOCK: The cost of treasury stock is shown on the Consolidated
Statements of Condition as a separate component of shareholders' equity, and is
a reduction to total shareholders' equity. Shares are released from treasury at
fair value, with any gain or loss on the release identified on an average cost
basis.

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

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

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

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

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly,
compensation expense is recognized only if the exercise price of the option is
less than the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date. SFAS No. 123
requires companies not using a fair value based method of accounting for stock
options to provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as
if the fair value method of accounting had been applied. Had the Company
determined compensation cost based on the fair value of its stock options at the
grant date under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have been reduced to pro forma amounts indicated in the following table.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2005,

been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 10% stock dividend paid on February 15,
2005, and a 10% stock dividend paid on August 15, 2003. Fair values are
estimated at the grant date of the option using the Black Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions:

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In December 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Tompkins approved the accelerated vesting of all currently outstanding unvested
stock options, except for those options issued to executive officers of
Tompkins. The affected options were previously awarded to officers and employees
under the Company's 2001 Stock Option Plan. There is no change to the Company's
compensation philosophy and all other terms and conditions applicable to such
options, including the exercise prices and exercise periods, remain changed. No
options held by executive vice presidents or chief executive officers are
affected by the vesting acceleration. The acceleration of the unvested options
contributed to the increase in total stock-based compensation expense, net of
tax effects, determined under the fair value method shown above from $757,000 in
2004 to $1.9 million in 2005. As a result, the acceleration lowered compensation
expense related to stock options by approximately $1.2 million, net of taxes,
which would have been recognized in its financial statements over future years.
As a result of the acceleration, the Company also recognized $63,000 of
compensation expense in 2005 earnings. The Company expects to recognize
additional pre-tax compensation expense of approximately $417,000 in 2006 as a
result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Compensation costs may differ from
these estimates due to future award grants, modifications or cancellations.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." This
Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related implementation
guidance. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based
compensation using APB No. 25 and requires a public entity to measure the cost
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award. The grant-date fair value of employee stock options and
similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for
the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices
for the same or similar instruments are available). For equity awards that are
modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized
in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over
the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. In the
future, the notes to consolidated financial statements will include information
to assist users of financial information to understand the nature of share-based
payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial
statements. On April 14, 2005, the FASB amended the date for compliance with
SFAS No. 123R to the first interim or annual reporting period of the first
fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R is therefore
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. The Company will apply the
modified prospective method, which requires that compensation expense be
recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock upon adoption of
SFAS 123R. The Company will use the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining
the fair value of share-based payments to employees, which will then be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin

On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 115-1 and FAS
124-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to
Certain Investments", which addresses the determination of when an investment is
considered impaired; whether the impairment is other than temporary; and how to
measure an impairment loss. The FSP also addresses accounting considerations
subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment on a debt
security, and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not
been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP replaces the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing
authoritative literature concerning other-than-temporary determinations
(principally Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin 59). Under the FSP, impairment losses must be recognized in
earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's cost and its fair
value at the financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries
subsequent to that date. The FSP also requires that an investor recognize an
other-than-temporary impairment loss when a decision to sell a security has been
made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully
recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the
application of the FSP will have a material impact on its financial condition,
results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 106-2, "Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003", which supersedes FSP FAS 106-1 of the same
title. The FSP clarifies the accounting for the benefits attributable to new
government subsidies for companies that provide prescription drug benefits to
retirees. The new accounting requirements became effective at the beginning of
the third calendar quarter of 2004. In accordance with FSP FAS 106-1, the
Company elected to defer accounting for the economic effects of the new Medicare
Act, pending specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal
subsidy. The Company has reviewed the requirements of the Medicare Act relative
to its post-retirement plan and has determined that the effects will not be
material to the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

Effective October 1, 2005, the Company amended its benefit plan related to
post-retirement medical coverage. The change includes a modification of the
benefits available for active employees below the age of 55, and employee above
the age of 55, with less than ten years service. The modification includes the
establishment of HRA accounts for the affected employees, which in effect, caps
the Company's liability. Employees hired after December 31, 2004 do not
participate in the Company's post-retirement benefit plan. Refer to Note 11
"Employee Benefit Plans" for additional details.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities
below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in
earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment
losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and
ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of
time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as
held-to-maturity until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full
value for the securities. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004, management also had the ability and intent to hold the securities
classified as available-for-sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery
of cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest
rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were
purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their
maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for similar investments
decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to
reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, and December
31, 2004, management believes the impairments detailed in the tables above are
temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Income.

The Company uses securities to pledge as collateral for public deposits and
other borrowings, and sells securities under agreements to repurchase (see Note
9 Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased).
Securities carried at $516.8 million and $522.1 million at December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, were either pledged or sold under agreements to repurchase.

Except for U.S. government securities, there were no holdings, when taken in the
aggregate, of any single issuer that exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity at
December 31, 2005.

The Company has an equity investment in a small business investment company
(SBIC) established for the purpose of providing financing to small businesses in
market areas served by the Company. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, this
investment totaled $3,407,000 and $3,404,000, respectively, and was included in
other assets on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Condition. The
investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

As part of its asset/liability management strategy the Company may sell certain
residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. During 2005, 2004, and 2003,
the Company sold residential mortgage loans totaling $16,532,000, $14,691,000,
and $52,585,000, respectively, and realized gains on these sales of $238,000,
$240,000, and $970,000, respectively. When residential mortgage loans are sold
or securitized, the Company typically retains all servicing rights, which
provides the Company with a source of fee income. In connection with the sales
in 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company recorded mortgage-servicing assets of
$98,000, $95,200, and $688,000, respectively.

Amortization of mortgage servicing assets amounted to $127,000 in 2005, $168,000
in 2004 and $343,000 in 2003. At December 31, 2005, the Company serviced
mortgage loans aggregating $135,611,000, including loans securitized and held as
available-for-sale, compared to $138,810,000 at December 31, 2004. Mortgage
servicing rights totaled $949,000 and $978,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Loans held for sale, which are included in residential real estate
in the table above, totaled $180,000, and $267,000 at December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. No loans were securitized in 2005 or 2004.

As members of the FHLB, the Company's subsidiary banks may use unencumbered
mortgage related assets to secure borrowings from the FHLB. At December 31,
2005, the Company had $63,430,000 in term advances from the FHLB that were
secured by residential mortgage loans.

The Company's loan/lease customers are located primarily in the upstate New York
communities served by its three subsidiary banks. The Trust Company operates
fourteen banking offices in the counties of Tompkins, Cayuga, Cortland, and

Note 6 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Austin, Hardie, Wise Agency, Inc. and Ernest Townsend & Son,
Inc., in a cash and stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. In connection
with these acquisitions, the two agencies were merged with and into Tompkins
Insurance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins. The agencies continue to
operate from their western New York locations, which include Attica, Warsaw,
Alden, LeRoy, Batavia and Caledonia. The $4.4 million excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less liabilities
assumed was recorded as goodwill. Prior to the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, on January 1, 2002, the goodwill was being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15 years.

The purchase agreements for the insurance agencies included provisions for
additional consideration to be paid in the form of the release of shares of
Company stock from escrow if Tompkins Insurance met certain income targets in
2001 and 2002. Tompkins Insurance met the income targets, resulting in the
release of 13,802 shares in 2001 and 22,967 in 2002 as additional consideration.
Such shares are considered outstanding for purposes of computing diluted
earnings per share beginning on October 1, 2001 for shares released in 2001 and
beginning on July 1, 2002 for shares released in 2002.

On June 22, 2001, Tompkins Insurance acquired the assets of Youngs & Linfoot of
LeRoy, Inc. in a cash transaction accounted for as a purchase. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less
liabilities assumed of $287,000 was recorded as goodwill. Prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, the goodwill was being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years. The transaction also resulted in $65,000 of
identifiable intangibles consisting of a covenant not to compete, which is being
amortized over 5 years.

On February 1, 2003, Tompkins Insurance acquired the assets of the Powers
Agency, Inc. in a cash transaction. The transaction resulted in an identifiable
intangible asset of $57,000 and goodwill of $75,000. The identifiable intangible
asset consists of a covenant-not-to-compete and is being amortized over 5 years.

On November 1, 2003, Tompkins Insurance acquired 100% of the stock of Youngs &
Linfoot, Inc., an insurance agency in Geneseo, New York, in a stock and cash
transaction. The transaction resulted in identifiable intangible assets of
$243,000 consisting of customer lists and contracts of $150,000, and a
covenant-not-to-compete of $93,000; and goodwill of $782,000. The
covenant-not-to-compete and other identifiable intangibles are being amortized
over 6 years.

Note 6 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)

On December 31, 2004, Tompkins Insurance acquired 100% of the stock of Banfield
& Associates, Inc., an insurance agency in Ithaca, New York, in a stock and cash
transaction. The transaction resulted in identifiable intangible assets of
$212,409 consisting of customer lists and contracts of $140,409, and a
covenant-not-to-compete of $72,000; and goodwill of $745,000. The covenant not
to compete and other identifiable intangibles are being amortized over 6 years.

On January 6, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of AM&M Financial
Services, Inc. (AM&M), a fee-based financial planning firm headquartered in
Pittsford, New York. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
November 21, 2005 by and between the Company and AM&M, the Company acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of AM&M stock for initial merger
consideration of $2,375,000 in cash and 53,976 shares of Tompkins common stock.
In addition to the merger consideration paid at closing, additional contingent
amounts of up to $8.5 million (payable one-half in cash and one-half in Tompkins
shares) may be paid over a period of four years from closing, depending on the
operating results of AM&M. The merger resulted in initial intangible assets of
approximately $4.5 million. These intangible assets are not included in the
Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had unamortized goodwill related to its
various acquisitions totaling $12,286,000 compared with $12,280,000 at December
31, 2004. The increase reflects an adjustment of $6,000 of goodwill recorded as
a result of Tompkins Insurance's acquisition of Banfield & Associates, Inc.
Included in goodwill is approximately $170,000 of unidentified intangible assets
related to various branch acquisitions, which prior to October 1, 2002, were
accounted for under SFAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking
or Thrift Institutions. With the adoption of SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of
Certain Financial Institutions, effective October 1, 2002, these intangible
assets are no longer amortized.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had core deposit intangible assets related to
various acquisitions of $916,000 compared to $1,398,000 at December 31, 2004.
The amortization of these intangible assets amounted to $483,000 in 2005 and
$585,000 in 2004.

At December 31, 2005, other intangible assets, consisting of mortgage servicing
rights, customer lists and contracts, and covenants-not-to-compete, totaled
$1,244,000.

The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets annually, or more
frequently if conditions warrant, for impairment. Based on the Company's 2005
review, there was no impairment of its goodwill or intangible assets.

Information regarding the carrying amount and the amortization expense of the
Company's acquired intangible assets are disclosed in the table below.

Note 9 Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds
Purchased

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are secured borrowings that
typically mature within thirty to ninety days, although the Company has entered
into repurchase agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank with maturities that
extend through 2013. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are stated
at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company
may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the
underlying securities. Federal funds purchased are short-term borrowings that
typically mature within one to ninety days.

Information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal
funds purchased for the years ended December 31, is detailed in the table below:

Other borrowings included a Treasury Tax and Loan Note account with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York totaling $100,000 at December 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Tompkins Insurance had borrowings of

Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees of the Company. The benefits are based on years of
service and percentage of the employees' average compensation. Assets of the
Company's defined benefit plan are invested in common and preferred stock, U. S.
Government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds. At December
31, 2005, the plan assets included 44,800 shares of Tompkins common stock that
had a fair value of $1.6 million.

In addition to the Company's noncontributory defined-benefit retirement and
pension plan, the Company provides supplemental employee retirement plans (SERP)
to certain executives.

The Company amended its plan for post-retirement health benefits in 2005.
Employees commencing employment after January 1, 2005 will have no contribution
from the Company towards a plan of benefits. Retirees and employees who were
currently eligible to retire were unaffected at this time. Generally, all other
current employees were eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) with an
initial balance equal to the amount of the Company's estimated current
liability. Contributions to the plan will be limited to an annual contribution
of 4% of the total HSA balances. Employees, upon retirement, will be able to
utilize their HSA for qualified health costs and deductibles.

The following table sets forth the changes in the projected benefit obligation
for the defined benefit pension plan and SERP and the accumulated benefit
obligation for the post-retirement plan; and the respective plan assets, and the
plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated
statements of condition at December 31, 2005 and 2004 (the measurement dates of
the plans).

(1) The rate of compensation increase for the Trust Company is 4%, and is 5% for
all other groups.

The accumulated benefit obligation of the pension plan was $32,947,000 and
$29,508,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Tompkins Trust Company offers post-retirement health care benefits. The weighted
average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered
benefits (the health care cost trend rate) is 9.50% beginning in 2006, and is
assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% in 2012 and beyond. Increasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by 1% in each year would decrease the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2005, by $113,000 and the
net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for 2005 by $10,000. Decreasing the
assumed health care cost trend rates by 1% each year would increase the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2005, by
$132,000 and increase the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost by $15,000.

In December 2003, The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization
Act of 2003 ("Medicare Act") was signed into law. The Medicare Act introduced
both a Medicare prescription-drug benefit and a federal subsidy to sponsors of
retiree healthcare plans that provide a benefit at least "actuarially
equivalent" to the Medicare benefit. These provisions of the Medicare Act will
affect accounting measurements under SFAS No. 106.

Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

In May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff
Position (FSP) No. FAS 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to
the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003",
which supersedes FSP FAS 106-1 of the same title. The FSP clarifies the
accounting for the benefits attributable to new government subsidies for
companies that provide prescription drug benefits to retirees. The new
accounting requirements became effective at the beginning of the third calendar
quarter of 2004. In accordance with FSP FAS 106-1, the Company elected to defer
accounting for the economic effects of the new Medicare Act, pending specific
authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy. The Company
has reviewed the requirements of the Medicare Act relative to its
post-retirement plan and has determined that the effects will not be material to
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Net periodic benefit cost includes the following components:

Plan Assets

The Company's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31,
2005 and 2004, by asset category are as follows:

                                                    2005         2004

                ---------------------------------------------------------

The Company is not required to contribute to the pension plan in 2006; however,
the Company may voluntarily contribute to the pension plan in 2006.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on asset assumption, the
Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for
returns for each asset class, as well as target asset allocations of the pension
portfolio. Based on this analysis, the Company selected 8.50% as the long-term
rate of return on assets assumption.

It is the policy of the Trustees to invest the Pension Trust Fund (the "Fund")
for total return. The Trustees seek the maximum return consistent with the
interests of the participants and beneficiaries and prudent investment
management. The management of the Fund's assets is in compliance with the
guidelines established in the Company's Pension Plan and Trust Investment
Policy, which is reviewed and approved annually by the Tompkins Board of
Directors, and the Pension Investment Review Committee.

The intention is for the Fund to be prudently diversified. The Fund's
investments will be invested among the fixed income, equity and cash equivalent
sectors. The pension committee will designate minimum and maximum positions in
any of the sectors. In no case shall more than 10% of the Fund assets consist of
qualified securities or real estate of the Company. In addition, the following
investments are prohibited:

               1.   Restricted stock, private placements, short positions,
                    calls, puts, or margin transactions;

               2.   Commodities, oil and gas properties, real estate properties,
                    or

               3.   Any investment that would constitute a prohibited
                    transaction as described in the Employee Retirement Income
                    Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), section 407, 29 U.S.C. 1106.

                                       57


Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and a 401(k) Investment
and Stock Ownership Plan (ISOP) covering substantially all employees of the
Company. The ESOP allows for Company contributions in the form of common stock
of the Company. Annually, the Tompkins Board of Directors determines a
profit-sharing payout to its employees in accordance with a performance-based
formula. A percentage of the approved amount is paid in Company common stock
into the ESOP. Contributions are limited to a maximum amount as stipulated in
the ESOP. The remaining percentage is either paid out in cash or deferred into
the ISOP at the direction of the employee. Compensation expense related to the
ESOP and ISOP totaled $1.6 million in 2005, $1.8 million in 2004, and $1.2
million in 2003.

Under the ISOP, employees may contribute a percentage of their eligible
compensation with a Company match of such contributions up to a maximum match of
4%. The Company provided certain matching contributions to the ISOP based upon
the amount of contributions made by plan participants. The expense associated
with these matching provisions was $871,000 in 2005, $801,000 in 2004, and
$760,000 in 2003.

Life insurance benefits are provided to certain officers of the Company. In
connection with these benefits, the Company reflects life insurance assets on
its Consolidated Statements of Condition of $27.2 million at December 31, 2005,
and $23.9 million at December 31, 2004. The insurance is carried at its cash
surrender value on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Increases in the
cash surrender value of the insurance are reflected as noninterest income, net
of any related mortality expense.

Note 12 Stock Based Compensation

In January 2001, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "2001 Plan"),
which authorizes grants of options up to 423,500 shares of authorized but
unissued common stock. On May 12, 2003, the 2001 Plan was amended to increase
the number of shares reserved for issuance from 423,500 shares to 1,028,500
shares. At December 31, 2005, there were 580,377 shares available for grant
under the 2001 Plan. The Board of Directors of Tompkins may grant stock options
to officers, employees and certain other individuals. Stock options are granted
with an exercise price equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of
grant, may not have a term in excess of ten years, and have vesting periods that
range between one and five years from the grant date. Prior to the adoption of
the 2001 Plan, the Company had similar stock option plans that authorized up to
597,861 shares of authorized but unissued common stock. These prior plans remain
in effect solely with respect to unexercised options issued under these plans.

In December 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Tompkins approved the accelerated vesting of all currently outstanding unvested
stock options, except for those options issued to executive officers of
Tompkins. The affected options were previously awarded to officers and employees
under the Company's 2001 Stock Ownership Plan. There is no change to the
Company's compensation philosophy and all other terms and conditions applicable
to such options, including the exercise prices and exercise periods, remain
unchanged. No options held by executive vice presidents or chief executive
officers are affected by the vesting acceleration. As a result of this action,
options to purchase up to 201,188 shares of common stock become exercisable
immediately. Without the acceleration, the options would have vested on dates
ranging from April 18, 2006 to October 3, 2010. This action contributed to the
increase in exercisable shares at year-end 2005 to 458,622 from 211,416 at
year-end 2004.

Note 13 Income Taxes (continued)

This analysis does not include the recorded deferred tax asset of $4,206,000 as
of December 31, 2005 and the recorded deferred tax liabilities of $580,000 as of
December 31, 2004 related to the net unrealized holding loss/gain in the
available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future
taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carry-back period. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In
assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled
reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable
income, and the projected future taxable income over the periods in which the
temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible.
Based on its assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance is
necessary at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Note 14 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

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

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45),
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others; an Interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 5,57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN
No. 45 requires certain new disclosures and potential liability recognition for
the fair value at issuance of guarantees that fall within its scope. Based upon
the Company's interpretation of FIN No. 45, the Company currently does not issue
any guarantees that would require liability recognition under FIN No. 45, other
than its stand-by letters of credit, the amount of which is not considered
significant at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The Company's maximum potential obligations to extend credit for loan
commitments (unfunded loans, unused lines of credit, and stand-by letters of
credit) outstanding on December 31 were as follows:

(in thousands)                                               2005         2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loan commitments                                         $   69,234   $   71,809
Stand-by letter of credit                                    24,695       20,914
Undisbursed portion of lines of credit                      229,503      216,787
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total                                                    $  323,432   $  309,510
================================================================================


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

At December 31, 2005, the Company had rate lock agreements associated with
mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market (certain of which relate to
loan applications for which no formal commitment has been made) amounting to
approximately $1.6 million. In order to limit the interest rate risk associated
with rate lock agreements, as well as the interest rate risk associated with
mortgages held for sale, if any, the Company enters into agreements to sell
loans in the secondary market to unrelated investors on a loan-by-loan basis. At
December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $260,000 of commitments to sell
mortgages to unrelated investors on a loan-by-loan basis.

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

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

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

LOANS/LEASES: The fair values of fixed rate loans/leases are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses, and interest rates currently offered for
loans/leases with similar terms and credit quality.

DEPOSITS: The fair values disclosed for non-interest bearing accounts and
accounts with no stated maturities are equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated by discounting
expected monthly maturities at interest rates approximating those currently
being offered on time deposits of similar terms.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE: The carrying amounts of
repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair
values. Fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using a discounted
cash flow approach, based on current market rates for similar borrowings.

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

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The fair values of outstanding loan commitments,
including unused lines of credit and stand-by letters of credit are based on
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties' credit standing, and
discounted cash flow analyses. In fixed rate loan commitments, fair value
estimates also consider the difference between current market rates and the
committed rates. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair values of these
instruments approximate the value of the related fees and are not significant.

Note 17 Regulations and Supervision

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

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notifications from Federal bank
regulatory agencies categorized the Tompkins Trust Company, The Bank of Castile
and Mahopac National Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework
for PCA. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and its subsidiary
banks must maintain total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since
that notification that management believes have changed the capital category of
the Company or its subsidiary banks. Actual capital amounts and ratios of the
Company and its subsidiary banks are as follows:
