                    THE BANK OF NEW YORK COMPANY, INC.
               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  General
    -------

      The accounting and reporting policies of The Bank of New York Company,
Inc. (the Company), a bank holding company, and its subsidiaries, conform
with generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the
banking industry.  Such policies, except as noted below, are consistent with
those applied in the preparation of the Company's annual financial
statements.

      The accompanying financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have
been made.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

2.  Securities
    ----------

     Effective January 1, 1994, the Company accounts for debt and equity
securities classified as available-for-sale at market value, with net
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.  Previously such securities were stated at the lower of aggregate
cost or market value.  In connection with this change, the Company
reclassified $1,384 million of securities from held-to-maturity to available-
for-sale.  In addition, $267 million of loans ("Brady Bonds") were
reclassified from loans to securities held-to-maturity.  

     Realized gains on the sale of securities available-for-sale were $7
million in both the first quarter of 1994 and 1993.  

<PAGE> 8.

The following table sets forth the carrying amount and the fair value of
securities at March 31, 1994:

     In 1995, a new accounting standard will require the Company to introduce
the time value of money into the determination of the portion of the
allowance for loan losses which relates to impaired, non-consumer loans.  The
loss component of impaired, non-consumer loans will be measured by the
difference between their recorded value and fair value.  Fair value would be
either the present value of the expected future cash flows from borrowers,
market value of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral.  At the
present time, the impact of the new method on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition is not expected to be material.

4. Capital Resources
- --------------------
    
     The financial statements reflect a 2-for-1 common stock split, effective
April 22, 1994.  

     Also, the Company increased its quarterly common stock cash dividend to
55 cents per share (27.5 cents per share post split) from 45 cents per share,
and announced a plan to buy back, throughout the remainder of 1994, up to 5
million of its post-split common shares.  All shares purchased will be used
in connection with certain employee benefit plans or will be held as treasury
shares.


5.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------

     In April 1990, the Company notified Northeast Bancorp., Inc. (NEB)  that
NEB had materially breached its obligation under a merger agreement. 
Following denial by the Federal Reserve Board of the Company's application
for approval to acquire NEB and failure by state regulators to approve the
proposed merger prior to the August 15, 1990 termination date, the Company's
Board of Directors notified NEB in September 1990 that it had terminated the
merger agreement.

     In May 1990, NEB brought suit against the Company in the United States
Court for the District of Connecticut seeking money damages of $350 million
relating to NEB's allegations that the Company breached its obligations.  In
November 1990, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment to have the
lawsuit dismissed; in June 1991, this motion was granted as to NEB's
Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and libel claims and denied as to
NEB's other claims.  In March 1993, the Company's motion for summary judgment
on NEB's contract claims was denied.  In May 1993, as part of the acquisition
of NEB's Class A voting common stock by First Fidelity Bancorporation, NEB's
interest in the suit was transferred to a trust funded with $2 million for
the benefit of former NEB shareholders.  The action will continue.  In the
opinion of management, NEB's claims are without merit.

     In the ordinary course of business, there are various claims pending
against the Company and its subsidiaries.  In the opinion of management,
liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have a material
effect upon the Company's consolidated financial statements.


<PAGE> 12.

     On January 1, 1994, a new accounting standard required the Company to
recognize unrealized gains and losses related to certain interest rate and
foreign currency contracts as assets and liabilities on its balance sheet. 
The new standard allows the netting of unrealized gains and losses with the
same counterparty when a master netting agreement is in effect.  The Company
previously presented all unrealized gains and losses on a net basis. 
Reported assets and liabilities increased by approximately $815 million at
March 31, 1994 as a result of the new accounting standard.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- -----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
- -------------------------

     The Company reported record first quarter net income of $178 million,
which compares with net income of $134 million in the first quarter of
1993.  Fully diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 1994 were
a record $0.87 compared with $0.65 per share in the same period last year,
an increase of 34%.  The gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's
interest in Wing Hang Bank, Ltd. in Hong Kong, which was partially offset
by a restructuring charge related to National Community Division, added
a net 6 cents to earnings per share this quarter.

     Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased $16
million or 4% to $396 million from the first quarter of 1993.  The Company
noted widened spreads and increasing loan demand during the first quarter. 
Credit card growth remained especially strong.  There was also growth in
other consumer loans, as well as in middle market and large corporate
lending.

     Fee income was strong, especially from securities and other
processing, syndications and factoring.  A lower provision for loan losses
and continued control of operating expenses contributed to higher
earnings.  

     Return on average assets in the first quarter of 1994 was 1.50%
compared with 1.32% in the fourth quarter of 1993 and 1.17% in the first
quarter of 1993.  Return on average common equity was 18.55% in the first
quarter of 1994 compared with 16.16% in the fourth quarter of 1993 and
15.06% in the first quarter of 1993.  Both return on assets and return on
equity for this quarter were records for the Company.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
- ---------------------

     The Company's estimated Tier I capital and total capital ratios were 
8.25% and 12.85% at March 31, 1994 compared with 8.87% and 13.65% at
December 31, 1993 and 8.26% and 12.90% at March 31, 1993.  The decline in
these ratios from December 31, 1993 is primarily attributable to the
redemption of $156 million of preferred stock in the first quarter of
1994.  The absence of this preferred stock will add approximately 4 cents
to annual per share earnings.  Tangible common equity as a percent of
total assets was 6.84% at March 31, 1994 compared with 7.00% at December
31, and 6.41% one year ago.

     On April 12, 1994, the Company's Board of Director's declared a 2-
for-1 common stock split.  On May 13, 1994, holders of record as of the
close of business on April 22, 1994 will receive one additional share for
every share held.
     
     Also, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly common
stock cash dividend of 55 cents per share (27.5 cents per share post
split), a 22% increase over the 45 cents previously paid.  This increase

<PAGE> 14.

will result in an annual rate of $2.20 per share ($1.10 per share post
split), the highest in the Company's history, surpassing the previous high
of $2.12 per share ($1.06 per share post split) paid in 1990.  The new
dividend is payable on May 6, 1994 to holders of record as of the close
of business on April 22, 1994.

     In addition, the Company announced a plan to buy back, throughout the
remainder of this year, up to 5 million of its post-split common shares. 
All shares purchased will be used in connection with certain employee
benefit plans or will be held as treasury shares.

million of small nonperforming loans were sold this quarter.  This was the
Company's first bulk sale of nonperforming loans.

     Nonperforming commercial real estate assets, which include other real
estate owned, declined to $139 million at March 31, 1994, a $32 million,
or 19% decrease from $171 million at December 31, 1993.

The allowance for loan losses was $934 million, or 2.87% of loans at March
31, 1994 compared with $970 million, or 3.17% of loans at December 31,
1993. 


NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

     On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income amounted to $396 
million in the first quarter of 1994, compared with $380 million in the
same period of 1993, an increase of 4%.  The net interest rate spread was
3.18% in the first quarter of 1994 compared with 3.12% in the fourth
quarter of 1993 and 3.11% one year ago.  The net yield on interest earning
assets was 3.89% in the first quarter of 1994 compared with 3.83% in the
fourth quarter of 1993 and 3.82% in the same period last year.  The spread
and yield benefitted modestly from the return of a portion of the
Company's credit card securitization to its balance sheet.  

     There was continued strong performance in credit cards, as the number
of card accounts increased by 23% to 4.9 million and managed outstandings
were up by 21% to $6.3 billion from one year ago.  Response rates to the
Company's aggressive national direct-mail campaign have significantly 
exceeded expectations so far this year.  The Company will continue this
program throughout the remainder of 1994.  The credit quality of our card 
portfolio continues to be excellent.  Delinquencies continue to decline.  
Net charge-offs as a percentage of average outstandings were 3.13% in the 
first quarter of 1994, down significantly from 3.48% one year ago.

<PAGE> 16.

     Interest lost on loans on nonaccrual status at March 31, 1994 and
1993, reduced net interest income by $6 million and $15 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.


NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

     Noninterest income increased 6% to $350 million in the first quarter,
compared with $330 million in the same period last year.

     Securities processing fees were $88 million for the first quarter of
1994 and $76 million for the first quarter of 1993, an increase of 16%. 
Most areas contributed to the increase.  Among the strongest were
corporate trust, government securities clearance, master trust and mutual
fund custody.  Other processing fees, principally funds transfer, deposit
services, and trade finance, were $42 million for the first quarter of
1994, compared with $38 million in the same period last year, an increase
of 11%.

     Service charges and fees were $119 million in  the first  quarter of
1994, compared with $114 million in the first quarter of last year.  In
the first quarter, noninterest income attributable to the Company's credit
card securitization was $4 million less than the comparable period of last
year due to a portion of these assets returning to the balance sheet.  

     Securities gains were $12 million in the first quarter of 1994
compared with $26 million in the same period last year.

     Other noninterest income was $56 million and $44 million for the
first quarters of 1994 and 1993.  Foreign exchange profits and trading
activities were $16 million and $23 million in the first quarters of 1994
and 1993.  Also included in other noninterest income for 1994 is a pre-tax
gain of $22 million ($14 million after-tax) related to the sale of a
portion of the Company's interest in Wing Hang Bank, Ltd., which was
partially offset by a $3 million restructuring charge related to National
Community Division (NCD).   


NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
- ------------------------------------

     Total noninterest expense increased 3% to $403 million in the first
quarter from $391 million in 1993.  Other real estate expense decreased
to $2 million from $9 million in the first quarter of 1993. 

     Salaries increased 5% in the first quarter to $153 million from $146
million in the same period last year.  Excluding the $3 million
restructuring charge related to NCD, salaries increased 3%.  Profit-
sharing increased to $16 million from $13 million in last year's first
quarter.  Other employee benefits -- primarily incentive compensation and

CREDIT CARD OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

     Credit card receivables sold in the form of a security is a technique
for financing the Company's credit card operations.  It replaces at
competitive rates other sources of deposits and borrowed money, and
improves liquidity and capital.  For accounting purposes, the technique
removes the underlying assets and liabilities from the balance sheet, and
amounts otherwise reported in the income statement are classified as
noninterest income.

     The Company securitized $1,350 million of credit card receivables in
1991; $1,038 million were outstanding at March 31, 1994, and $838 million
are scheduled to mature during the rest of 1994.  The impact of the
securitization, assuming the funds received from the securitization were
used to replace short-term borrowings, is summarized below:

Higher Noninterest Income            12        16                      


HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------
     At March 31, 1994, HLT loans outstanding were $1,291 million and
commitments were $284 million compared with $1,314 million and $349
million at December 31, 1993.  At March 31, 1994, borrowers in the
communication industry represented 54% of the HLT portfolio.   

 
LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRY (LDC) DEBT
- ---------------------------------

     The Company's medium-term LDC loans were $150 million at March 31,
1994 compared with $151 million at December 31, 1993.  The medium-term LDC
loan loss allowance was $116 million, or 77% of such loans, which
adequately reflects their current market value.

     In the second quarter, the Company expects to charge-off approximately
$15 million of Yugoslavian loans in response to the Interagency Country
Exposure Review Committee's statements that certain Yugoslavian loans were
value-impaired.
