                         Independent Auditors' Report


Corporate Benefits Committee
Mellon Bank Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Mellon 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform and 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Mellon
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules included as Schedules 1 and
2 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


(1)    Description of the Plan

       The following description of the Mellon 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
       (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer
       to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
       provisions.

       (a)    General

              The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to cover the
              employees of substantially all subsidiaries of Mellon Bank
              Corporation (the Corporation) who have one year of service. It is
              subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
              Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

              The Plan is administered by the Corporate Benefits Committee (the
              Committee), whose members consist of the heads of the Human
              Resources, Legal and Finance Departments of the Corporation and
              one member who is appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of the
              Corporation. The Committee is the Named Fiduciary and the Plan
              Administrator. Administrative costs arising under the Plan, other
              than fees charged by the mutual funds, are paid by the
              Corporation. The members of the Committee receive no remuneration
              from the Plan with respect to their service in such capacity. A
              separate committee, the Benefits Investment Committee, whose
              members consist of the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation
              and five other members appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of
              the Corporation, has been assigned certain fiduciary duties with
              respect to Plan investments. Mellon Bank, N.A. is the Trustee.

              Participants in the Plan have the option of investing their
              contributions through salary deferrals to one or more of the
              following mutual funds (note 3): Dreyfus Institutional Prime Money
              Market Fund, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund, Dreyfus S&P 500 Stock
              Index Fund, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, Dreyfus Premier Small
              Company Stock Fund, Warburg-Pincus International Equity Fund,
              Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc. - Income Portfolio, Dreyfus
              LifeTime Portfolios, Inc. - Growth and Income Portfolio and
              Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc. - Growth Portfolio; or the
              Dreyfus-Certus Stable Value Fund, which is a collective trust
              fund.

              The Loan Fund is comprised of loans to participants. The Employer
              Stock Fund is maintained for investment of employer matching
              contributions and employer discretionary contributions, if any.

              Participant account balances include salary reduction, employer
              matching and employer discretionary contributions. In the event
              the Plan is terminated, such account balances shall be distributed
              to the participants.

              the Plan on the date of employment.

              Salary reduction contributions may be made at a rate of one to
              sixteen percent of the employee's base compensation, less other
              pre-tax benefits, but may not exceed the annual dollar limit
              prescribed by the tax laws ($10,000 in 1998 and $9,500 in 1997).
              Employees may change the rate of contribution or discontinue
              contributions at any time.

              Participants may rollover amounts representing distributions from
              other qualified retirement plans.

              Salary reduction contributions and employer matching contributions
              are subject to the nondiscrimination requirements imposed under
              Internal Revenue Code (IRC) sections 401(k) and 401(m). In
              addition, special rules imposed by IRC section 415 limit the
              amount of contributions that may be allocated to the accounts of
              each participant.

              Semimonthly, the Corporation makes a matching contribution to the
              Plan in an amount equal to fifty percent of the first 6% of each
              participant's salary reduction contribution, provided that the
              matching contribution shall not exceed $3,000 per year for any
              individual participant. The Corporation's matching contributions
              are made in the Corporation's common stock based upon fair market
              value.

              The Corporation is permitted to make discretionary contributions,
              as determined and authorized by the Board of Directors.
              Discretionary contributions would be allocated to each eligible
              participant's accounts and invested in the Employer Stock Fund.
              There were no discretionary contributions during the years ended
              December 31, 1998 and 1997.

       (c)    Vesting

              Participants are fully vested in Mellon matching contributions
              upon entering the Plan. Balances of participants who were in the
              former Dreyfus Profit-Sharing Plan as of September 1, 1996, were
              merged into the 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Those participant
              balances are subject to the vesting schedule in the former Dreyfus
              Profit-Sharing Plan. Under that schedule, participants will be
              fully vested after completing five years of service. While former
              Dreyfus Profit-Sharing Plan participants may not be vested in
              their balances under that plan, they are fully and immediately
              vested in Mellon matching contributions attributable to 401(k)
              deferrals.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


       (d)    Forfeitures

              Forfeitures are applicable only to the former Dreyfus
              Profit-Sharing Plan participants who have not completed 5 years of
              service prior to their termination of employment. If the
              participant is not fully vested at the employment termination
              date, the non-vested benefit is forfeited. At December 31, 1998,
              forfeited nonvested accounts that were unallocated to participants
              totaled $69,264 ($449,106 in 1997). These accounts will be used to
              reduce future employer contributions. Also, in 1998, employer
              contributions were reduced by $713,000 ($2,098,952 in 1997) from
              forfeited nonvested accounts.

       (e)    Distributions

              Upon termination of employment, participants may elect to receive
              a distribution of their vested account balances. Payment must
              begin not later than the year in which the participant attains age
              seventy and one-half. The Plan also permits distributions in the
              event of the participant's permanent disability.

       (f)    Loans to Participants

              Loans are made available to all requesting participants in amounts
              up to the lesser of (a) $50,000, (b) one-half of the participant's
              account balance or (c) the value of the participant's account
              balance less the current value of their Employer Stock Fund. Such
              loans are repaid in periodic installments through payroll
              deduction. Loan repayments of both principal and interest are
              invested by the Trustee among the available investment funds in
              the same proportions as the participant's salary reduction
              contributions are invested. The loan interest rate is one
              percentage point above the prime rate published in the Wall Street
              Journal on the first business day of each month.


(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)    Basis of Financial Statements

              The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
              accrual basis. Amounts payable to participants terminating
              participation in the Plan are included as a component of net
              assets available for plan benefits (note 7). The preparation of
              the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
              accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make
              estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
              financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could
              differ from those estimates.

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


       (b)    Investments

              Investments in common stock traded on securities exchanges and
              investment companies are valued at their last reported sales price
              on the last business day of the Plan year. Investments in
              collective trust funds are valued at the net asset value of the
              respective funds on the last day of the Plan year.

              Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date
              accounting basis.

              In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair
              value, changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
              reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for
              plan benefits.

              Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from
              other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.


(3)    Investment Programs

       Mellon Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of the Corporation, acts as Trustee under
       a declaration of trust providing for the establishment, management,
       investment and reinvestment of the Plan's assets. The funds listed below
       were the investment options for salary reduction contributions as of
       December 31, 1998. Any of these funds may be invested in short-term debt
       obligations of any nature or held in cash pending investment or
       distribution. The assets that comprise these funds may be invested in
       registered investment companies or collective trust funds.

       Registered investment companies:

          (a)   Dreyfus Institutional Prime Money Market Fund

                The objective of this fund is to invest in high-grade,
                short-term obligations paying a fixed rate of return and
                commonly referred to as money market securities.

          (b)   Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund

                The objective of this fund is to match the performance of the
                Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index by investing 80%
                of the Fund's assets in U.S. government obligations and
                fixed-rate investment grade securities that are included in that
                benchmark index. The remaining 20% can be invested in government
                securities and corporate securities.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997


          (c)   Dreyfus S&P 500 Stock Index Fund

                The objective of this fund is to match the performance of the
                Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500),
                which is a leading measure of the value of the nation's largest
                corporations. The fund invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500
                in proportion to their weighting in the Index.

          (d)   Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund

                The objective of this fund is to outperform the S&P 500 on a
                consistent basis by investing primarily in equity securities.
                The fund typically invests at least 65% of its assets in equity
                securities and no more than 20% of its assets in money market
                securities.

          (e)   Dreyfus Premier Small Company Stock Fund

                The objective of this fund is to consistently outperform the
                Russell 2500 Stock Index, while maintaining a similar level of
                risk. This fund primarily invests in small capitalization stocks
                that generally range from $100 million to $1.5 billion in market
                capitalization.

          (f)   Warburg-Pincus International Equity Fund

                The objective of this fund is to create long-term capital
                appreciation by investing in international equity securities.
                The fund is designed to take advantage of the growth potential
                of foreign markets.

          (g)   Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc.

                The following three investment portfolios are provided:

                    Income Portfolio

                    The objective of this fund is to maximize income by
                    investing in common stock, fixed-income securities and
                    short-term money market instruments.

                    Growth and Income Portfolio

                    The objective of this fund is to seek a combination of
                    growth and income by investing in both equity securities and
                    fixed-income securities, with up to 15% of its assets in
                    international securities.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997



                    Growth Portfolio

                    The objective of this fund is to create capital appreciation
                    by investing in both equity securities and fixed-income
                    securities, with up to 25% of its assets invested in
                    international securities.

                Collective trust fund:

                    Dreyfus-Certus Stable Value Fund

                    The objective of this fund is to create current income and
                    maintain stability of principal by investing in investment
                    contracts with life insurance companies or commercial banks
                    that meet established credit standards, debt securities
                    backed by the U.S. government or its agencies and short-term
                    money market instruments.

       There can be no assurance that the stated objective of any of the funds
       can be achieved.

       All salary reduction contributions are invested at the direction of the
       participant in one or more of the established funds or in any common,
       collective or investment company fund selected by the Benefit Investment
       Committee having a stated investment objective consistent with the
       objectives of any of the investment funds under the Plan. However, no
       salary reduction contributions may be invested in the Employer Stock
       Fund.

       Employer matching and discretionary contributions, if any, are invested
       in the Corporation's common stock and held in the Employer Stock Fund.

       The Loan Fund represents a separate fund that is administered by the
       Trustee in connection with loans to participants of the Plan.
       Participants may borrow from their accounts a portion of their account
       balance. The amount of each loan is transferred from one or more of the
       investment funds in the same proportion that the participant's interest
       in such funds bears to the participant's aggregate interest in all such
       investment funds.


(4)    Federal Income Taxes

       The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued its latest determination on
       February 25, 1999, which stated that the Plan is qualified under section
       401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and the related trust is
       exempt from tax under section 501(a) of the Code. In the opinion of the
       Plan Administrator, the Plan and the related trust have operated in
       accordance with the terms of the Plan and in conformity with the
       applicable provisions of the Code. Accordingly, the accompanying
       financial statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes.

(8)    Plan Merger

       On May 20, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Corporation resolved that
       The Boston Company Employee Savings Plan (the Savings Plan), a plan
       maintained by a subsidiary of the Corporation, be merged with and into
       the Mellon 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with the Plan being the
       surviving plan. The plan merger was effective January 1, 1998, and the
       transfer of the Savings Plan assets in the amount of $33,755,795 occurred
       in March of 1998.


(9)    Subsequent Event - Fund Conversion

       The Benefits Investment Committee voted to replace the Warburg-Pincus
       International Equity Fund with the Founders Worldwide Growth Fund as an
       investment option in the Plan. All balances invested in the
       Warburg-Pincus International Equity Fund will automatically be
       transferred to the Founders Worldwide Growth Fund as of April 1, 1999.


(10)   Subsequent Event - Plan Amendment

       The Plan was amended effective April 5, 1999, to allow employees to
       invest their own pre-tax contributions in the Employee Stock Fund. Also,
       similar to other investment options, the Employer Stock Fund will now
       accept loan repayments and allow participants to transfer contributions
       in and out of the Fund.


(11)   Subsequent Event - Stock Split

       On April 20, 1999, the Corporation announced a two-for-one split of the
       Corporation's common stock. The two-for-one stock split is being
       structured as a stock dividend of one additional share of common stock
       paid on each issued share of common stock. The additional shares
       resulting from the split will be allocated on May 17, 1999, to
       shareholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 1999.


(12)   Subsequent Event - Plan Merger

       The Plan Administrator intends to merge the Employee Savings and Profit
       Sharing Plan of United National Bank into the Mellon Bank 401(k)
       Retirement Savings Plan in July of 1999. The United National Bank Plan
       has approximately 300 participants and $10,000,000 in net assets
       (unaudited).
