                         Independent Auditors' Report


Corporate Benefits Committee
Mellon Financial 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, 1999 and 1998, 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 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 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, 1999 and 1998, 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 schedule included as Schedule 1 is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements but is 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. The schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1999 and 1998



(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 Financial
              Corporation (the Corporation) who have one year of service. It is
              subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
              Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

              The Plan is administered by the Corporate Benefits Committee (the
              Committee), all of 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 four 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 BASIC S&P 500
              Stock Index Fund, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, Dreyfus Premier
              Small Company Fund, Founders Worldwide Growth 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. Also, as of
              April 1999, participants were able to invest their contributions
              in Mellon Financial Corporation Common Stock.

              The Loan Fund is comprised of loans to participants. Employer
              matching contributions and employer discretionary contributions,
              if any, are invested in Mellon Financial Corporation Common Stock.

              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.

                                                                     (Continued)

       (b)    Contributions

              An eligible employee of the Corporation may become a participant
              in the Plan following completion of one year of service. Employees
              hired prior to February 1, 1995, were eligible to participate in
              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 1999 and 1998). 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 account 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 the
              three-day average close of the New York Stock Exchange.

              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 may be made either in cash or invested
              in Mellon Financial Corporation Common Stock. There were no
              discretionary contributions during the years ended December 31,
              1999 and 1998.

       (c)    Vesting

              Participants are fully vested in their salary reduction
              contributions and the Corporation's 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 (note 8). 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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1999 and 1998


       (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 contribution is forfeited. At December 31,
              1999, the forfeited nonvested accounts that were unallocated to
              participants totaled $31,989 ($69,264 in 1998). These accounts
              will be used to reduce future employer contributions. Also, in
              1999, employer contributions were reduced by $345,000 ($713,000 in
              1998) from forfeited nonvested accounts.

       (e)    Distributions

              Upon retirement or termination of employment, participants may
              elect to receive a distribution of their vested account balances.
              The Plan also permits distributions in the event of the
              participant's permanent disability. Special withdrawal rules apply
              with respect to the accounts of participants who were participants
              in The Boston Company, Inc. Employee Savings Plan which was merged
              with and into the Plan effective January 1, 1998 (note 8).

       (f)    Loans to Participants

              Loans are made available to all requesting participants in amounts
              up to the lesser of (a) $50,000 or (b) one-half of the
              participant's account which is not attributable to employer
              matching contributions or discretionary contributions. 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.

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)    Basis of Financial Statements

              The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
              accrual basis of accounting. 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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1999 and 1998


       (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, 1999. 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.

       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.

       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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1999 and 1998


       (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 this benchmark
              index. The remaining 20% can be invested in government securities
              and corporate securities.

       (c)    Dreyfus BASIC 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 out perform the S&P 500 on a
              consistent basis by investing primarily in equity securities. The
              fund typically invests 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)    Founders Worldwide Growth Fund

              The objective of this fund is to invest at least 65% of its assets
              in growth companies in at least three foreign countries. This fund
              strives to represent a variety of world markets and will have no
              more than half of its total assets invested in the securities of
              any one foreign country. This fund replaced the Warburg-Pincus
              International Equity Fund as of April 1, 1999. All balances
              invested in the Warburg-Pincus International Equity Fund were
              automatically transferred to this Fund.

                                                                     (Continued)

       (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.

                  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.

       Common Stock:

              Mellon Financial Corporation common stock

              The objective of the common stock fund is to provide the
              participant an opportunity to own shares of the Corporation's
              common stock. A common stock investment in a single company is
              subject to the ups and downs of the stock market, as well as the
              company's performance and its long term financial prospects.

              On April 20, 1999, the Corporation announced a two-for-one split
              of the Corporation's common stock. The two-for-one stock split was
              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 were allocated on May 17, 1999, to
              shareholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 1999.

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

                                                                     (Continued)

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1999 and 1998


       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. Also, as of
       April 1999, participants were able to invest their contributions in
       Mellon Financial Corporation Common Stock.

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

       The Loan Fund represents a separate fund that is administered by the
       Trustee in connection with loans to participants of the Plan. The amount
       of each loan is transferred from one or more of the investment funds as
       described in the Plan document 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 Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
       Revenue Service (IRS) dated February 25, 1999, which stated that the Plan
       and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections
       of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
       letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan is designed and
       is currently being operated in conformity with the applicable
       requirements of the Code. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
       statements do not include a provision for federal income taxes.



(5)    Investments

       In September 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
       issued Statement of Position 99-3, Accounting for and Reporting of
       Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure
       Matters (SOP 99-3). SOP 99-3 simplifies the disclosure for certain
       investments. The Plan adopted SOP 99-3 during the Plan year ending
       December 31, 1999. Accordingly, information previously required to be
       disclosed about participant-directed fund investment programs is not
       presented in the Plan's 1999 financial statements. The Plan's 1998
       financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
       year's presentation.

                                                                     (Continued)
