Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(11) Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”).  TrustCo adopted FASB Staff Position on Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, as codified in FASB ASC 260-10 (“ASC 260-10”), which clarified that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or divided equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”). Participating securities under this statement include the unvested employees' and directors' restricted stock awards with time-based vesting, which receive nonforfeitable dividend payments.

In accordance with ASC 260-10, a reconciliation of the component parts of earnings per share for 2011, 2010 and 2009 follows:
