3.  Capital Transactions
    --------------------

	As of October 31, 1998, the Company has approximately 1.0 million 
shares remaining to repurchase under its share buyback program.

	During the third quarter of 1998, warrant holders converted 1.0 
million warrants into 8.2 million common shares, providing the Company 
with $64 million in capital. In October 1998, warrant holders 
converted an additional 0.7 million warrants into 5.5 million common 
shares, providing the Company with $43 million in capital.

	On May 12, 1998 the Company's shareholders authorized an increase 
in the Company's capital stock from 800 million common shares to 1.6 
billion common shares. The stock was split two-for-one on August 13, 
1998 to shareholders of record on July 24, 1998. Prior period 
financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split.


4.  New Accounting Pronouncements
    -----------------------------

	On January 1, 1998, a new accounting pronouncement related to 
comprehensive income was adopted. Unrealized gains or losses on 
available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation 
adjustments, which were reported separately in shareholders' equity, 
are now included in other comprehensive income. Prior periods have 
been restated for these changes.

	Effective January 1, 2000, a new accounting standard will require 
the Company to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair 
value and apply new accounting practices for hedging activities. The 
Company has not yet determined the impact of the new accounting 
standard on the Company's financial position and results of 
operations.

6.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------

	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.

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

The Company's actual results of future operations may differ from 
those set forth in certain forward-looking statements contained 
herein. Refer to further discussion under the heading "Forward Looking 
Statements".

	The Company's reported third quarter diluted earnings per share 
were 39 cents, up 15% from the 34 cents earned in the third quarter of 
1997. Third quarter net income was $301 million, up 10% from $273 
million earned in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per 
share were $1.13 for the first nine months of 1998, up 15% from the 
$0.98 earned last year. Net income for the first nine months was a 
record $879 million, an increase of 9% over last year's $806 million.

	Third quarter results were driven by strong growth across 
diversified fee based businesses. Record securities trading volumes, 
new business wins, and market share gains pushed securities servicing 
fees up 27% and trust and investment fees up 15%. As a result, fee 
based revenue and noninterest income contributed 58% of revenues. 
Additional highlights for the quarter were consistent and favorable 
foreign exchange results, reductions in nonperforming assets, and 
continued control of operating expenses. 

	In securities servicing, revenue growth was led by ADRs, domestic 
and global custody, stock transfer, and UIT. The ADR business 
continues its strong performance with trading volumes on U.S. 
exchanges in the third quarter up 38% from a year ago. In addition, 
the Company was named as agent on 34 new programs during the quarter. 
Domestic and global custody continued to gain momentum from new 
business wins. Trust and investment's performance, in the face of 
generally declining equity markets, was the result of strong relative 
investment performance creating continued new business flow. Financial 
discipline remained a hallmark for the Company, as the efficiency 
ratio was 50.6%.

	These favorable results contributed to a return on average common 
equity for the third quarter of 1998 of 24.19% compared 24.03% in the 
second quarter of 1998 and 22.06% in the third quarter of 1997. Return 
on average assets for the third quarter of 1998 was 1.86% compared 
with 1.90% in the second quarter of 1998 and 1.81% in the third 
quarter of 1997. For the first nine months of 1998, return on average 
common equity totaled 24.39% compared with 21.59% in 1997. Return on 
average assets was 1.90% for the first nine months of 1998 compared 
with 1.83% in 1997.

<PAGE> 11

	Tangible diluted earnings per share (earnings before the 
amortization of goodwill and intangibles) were 41 cents per share in 
the third quarter of 1998, up 14% from 36 cents per share in the third 
quarter of 1997. On the same basis, tangible return on average common 
equity was 37.56% in the third quarter of 1998 compared with 32.29% in 
the third quarter of 1997; and tangible return on average assets was 
2.03% in the third quarter of 1998 compared with 2.00% in the third 
quarter of 1997. Tangible diluted earnings per share were $1.20 per 
share for the first nine months of 1998, compared with $1.06 per share 
in 1997. Tangible return on average common equity was 37.47% in the 
first nine months of 1998 compared with 31.18% in 1997; and tangible 
return on average assets was 2.07% in the first nine months 1998 
compared with 2.02% last year.

	Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the third 
quarter rose to $430 million from $424 million in the second quarter 
due to growth in liquid investments related to substantial increases 
in customer driven deposits from the Company's global securities 
servicing clients. Revenues from the Company's securities servicing 
businesses reached $258 million for the third quarter and $726 million 
for the first nine months of 1998, up 27% and 26% compared with the 
corresponding periods of the prior year. Strong internal growth of 16% 
was spread over all of the Company's securities servicing businesses.

	In cash processing, fees from funds transfer grew by 8% from the 
previous year, the result of continued market share gains partially 
offset by reduced levels of global trade activity. Trade finance 
revenues were flat with a year ago as the decline in letter of credit 
volume was mitigated by improving margins. For the quarter, overall 
cash processing fees grew by 5% from a year ago reaching $66 million.

	Trust and investment fees were $53 million for the quarter, an 
increase of 15% over last year, the result of focused and aggressive 
new business efforts. Notwithstanding the turmoil in the global 
financial markets, foreign exchange and other trading revenues were 
$30 million compared with $35 million last year and $42 million in the 
second quarter of 1998 reflecting the customer driven nature of this 
business.

	Average diluted shares outstanding were 779 million for the 
quarter, down from the 783 million in the second quarter of 1998 and 
801 million in the third quarter a year ago as a result of the 
Company's stock buyback programs.

September 30, 1997. Tangible common equity as a percent of total 
assets was 5.59% at September 30, 1998 compared with 5.55% at June 30, 
1998 and 5.99% one year ago. The leverage ratio was 7.24% at September 
30, 1998 compared with 7.17% at June 30, 1998 and 7.82% one year ago.

	Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $430 
million in the third quarter of 1998 compared with $424 million in the 
second quarter of 1998 and $495 million in the third quarter of 1997. 
The net interest rate spread was 2.14% in the third quarter of 1998, 
compared with 2.27% in the second quarter of 1998 and 2.98% one year 
ago. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.15% compared with 
3.28% in the second quarter of 1998 and 4.02% in last year's third 
quarter.

	For the first nine months of 1998, net interest income on a 
taxable equivalent basis, amounted to $1,258 million compared with 
$1,480 million in the first nine months of 1997. The year-to-date net 
interest rate spread was 2.21% in 1998 compared with 3.13% in 1997, 
while the net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.25% in 1998 and 
4.11% in 1997.

	The increase in net interest income and the decline in the net 
interest rate spread from the second quarter were the result of growth 
in highly liquid but lower yielding assets, related to substantial 
increases in short-term deposits from our securities servicing client 
base. The declines from the third quarter of 1997 were primarily the 
result of the sale of the credit card business. 

	Interest lost on loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 1998 
and 1997 reduced net interest income by $2 million and $4 million for

the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and by $8 million
and $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

	Securities servicing fees increased 27% to $258 million compared 
with $202 million in the third quarter of 1997. Strong internal growth 
across all areas reached 16%, with remaining growth coming from 
acquisitions made during 1997. In the first nine months of 1998, 
securities servicing fees were $726 million compared with $577 million 
in 1997. Third quarter service charges and fees of $81 million were 
down from $85 million in the second quarter. This was due to a decline 
in syndication activity which, while still strong, was below second 
quarter levels. Service charges and fees were down from $92 million in 
the third quarter of 1997 reflecting the loss of revenue associated 
with the sale of the credit card business, partially offset by growth 
in factoring commissions related to U.K. asset based lending 
acquisitions. Revenues from foreign exchange and other trading 
activities were $30 million in the third quarter of 1998 compared with 
$42 million in the second quarter of 1998 and $35 million in the third 
quarter of 1997. The Company reported $51 million of securities gains 
in the third quarter of 1998, the same level as a year ago.

	Typically, the Company does not take directional risk, but on 
occasion residual risk is created in the process of acting as a market 
maker for the Company's customers. This residual risk is managed by 
the Company's traders and is limited in total exposure as described 
below.

	The Company manages trading risk through a system of position 
limits, a value at risk (VAR) methodology, stop loss advisory 
triggers, and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and 
reported to senior management by an independent unit on a daily basis. 
The VAR methodology captures, based on certain assumptions, the 
potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse changes in fair 
values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one day 
holding period for most instruments, utilizes a 99% confidence level, 
and incorporates the non-linear characteristics of options. This 
methodology does not attempt to evaluate risk created from 
extraordinary financial, economic or other occurrences, some of which 
have recently occurred, and any risk evaluation system has judgmental 
aspects. 

<PAGE> 15

	The following table indicates the calculated VAR amounts for the
trading portfolio for the periods indicated. During these periods, the 
daily trading loss did not exceed the calculated VAR amounts on any 
given day.

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

	Total noninterest expense for the quarter was $481 million, up 
only 2% from $473 million in the same period last year. Year-to-date 
noninterest expense was $1,420 million compared with $1,384 million in 
1997, a 3% increase. Noninterest expense for the third quarter 
included $8 million, approximately 1 cent per share, related to making 
computer systems Year 2000 compliant. For the first nine months of 
1998, Year 2000 expenses were $25 million or approximately 2 cents per 
share.

	The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 1998 was 50.6% 
compared with 50.3% in the second quarter of 1998 and 50.1% for the 
third quarter of 1997. For the first nine months of 1998, the 
efficiency ratio was 50.3% compared with 48.8% last year. The upward 
move from a year ago in the efficiency ratio is primarily attributable 
to the sale of the Company's credit card operations and higher Year 
2000 systems expenses.

	The effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine 
months of 1998 was 35.1% and 35.4% compared with 36.1% and 36.4% last 
year.

This was the twenty-ninth consecutive quarter of nonperforming asset 
decreases.

	At September 30, 1998, impaired loans (nonaccrual loans over $1 
million) aggregated $138 million, of which $106 million exceeded their 
fair value by $36 million. Impaired loans at September 30, 1997, 
totaled $155 million, of which $120 million exceeded their fair value 
by $56 million. For the third quarters of 1998 and 1997, the average 
amount of impaired loans was $139 million and $152 million. No 
interest income (cash received) was received on the impaired loans in 
the third quarter of 1998, while $140 thousand was received during the 
third quarter of 1997.

SECTOR PROFITABILITY
- --------------------

	The Company has an internal information system used for 
management purposes that produces sector performance data for Trust, 
Securities Servicing and Cash Processing; Corporate Banking; Retail 
Banking; and Other Sectors. A set of measurement principles has been 
developed to help insure that reported results of the sectors track 
their economic performance. Sector results are subject to restatement 
whenever improvements are made in the measurement principles or 
organizational changes are made. Prior year results have been restated 
to reflect the transfer of leasing operations from the Other Sector to 
the Corporate Banking Sector. Changes were also made in the allocation 
of equity to sectors.

	Net interest income is computed on a taxable equivalent basis.  
Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to sectors based on 
general guidelines. The provision for loan losses is based on net 

<PAGE> 18

charge-offs incurred by each sector. Assets and liabilities are match
funded.

	The Trust, Securities Servicing, and Cash Processing Sector 
provides a broad array of fee based services. Trust includes personal 
trust and investment management. Securities Servicing includes 
services to both institutional issuers and investors.  Cash Processing 
products relate primarily to funds transfer, deposit services and 
trade finance. The Retail Banking Sector includes consumer lending, 
residential mortgage lending, and retail deposit services. The Retail 
Banking Sector ceased credit card lending during 1997. The Corporate 
Banking Sector is divided into specialty industries banking, U.S. 
commercial banking, regional commercial banking, international 
banking, leasing, and asset based lending. The Other Sector includes 
trading and investing activities, treasury services to other sectors, 
general administration, and the difference between the recorded 
provision for loan losses and that allocated to the other sectors.

	Based on this system, the sectors contributed to the Company's 
profitability for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998 and 
1997 as follows:

                     Trust,
                     Securities

Trust, Securities Servicing, and Cash Processing
- ------------------------------------------------

	The 23% increase in net interest income for the third quarter is 
attributable to substantial increases in customer driven deposits from 
the Company's global securities servicing clients. Securities 
servicing fees increased 27% to $258 million compared with $202 
million in the third quarter of 1997. In the first nine months of 
1998, securities servicing fees were $726 million compared with $577 
million in 1997.  Strong internal growth of 16% was spread over all 
the Company's businesses with ADRs, global custody, domestic custody, 
UIT, and stock transfer performing particularly well. Fee revenues 
from issuer services, investment company services, and broker/dealer 
services were $105 million, $76 million, and $77 million in the third 
quarter of 1998 compared with $80 million, $68 million, and $54 
million in 1997. 

In cash processing, fees from funds transfer for the third 
quarter grew by 8% over the previous year, the result of continued 
market share gains partially offset by reduced levels of global trade 
activity. Trade finance revenues were flat with a year ago as the 
decline in letter of credit volume was mitigated by improving margins. 
For the quarter, overall cash processing fees grew by 5% from a year 
ago reaching $66 million. 

Trust and investment's performance, in the face of generally 
declining equity markets, was the result of strong relative investment 
performance creating continued new business flows. 

The rise in noninterest expense is primarily related to the 
above-mentioned growth.

Retail Banking
- --------------

	The decrease in net interest income, provision for loan losses, 
noninterest income, and noninterest expense in the Retail Banking 
Sector principally reflects the sale of the Company's credit card 
business in 1997. Net interest income in the Retail Banking Sector's 
branch network benefited from more favorable interest rate spreads in 
the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter last year. 
Operating expenses and net interest income relating to branch banking 
decreased in part due to the sale of eleven retail branches in 
November 1997.

<PAGE> 20

Corporate Banking
- -----------------

	Net interest income increased in the Corporate Banking Sector due 
to strong loan growth and acquisitions related to the asset based 
lending business for both the quarter and year to date. In the third 
quarter of 1998, average loans outstanding in the Corporate Banking 
Sector increased 16% from the third quarter of last year. Both the 
quarter and year to date increases in noninterest income reflect 
higher asset based lending revenue and syndication fees, offset by 
lower income from the Company's offshore banking subsidiaries. The 
increase in noninterest expense is partially due to acquisitions 
related to the asset based lending business.

Other
- -----

	The Other Sector reflects the difference between the total 
provision for loan losses and that charged off by the sectors. The 
Company reported $51 million of securities gains in the third quarter 
of both 1997 and 1998. Noninterest income for the first nine months of 
1998 includes a pre-tax gain of $29 million on the sale of the 
Company's property at 48 Wall Street. Noninterest income for the first 
nine months of last year includes a $27 million pre-tax gain on the 
sale of a portion of the Company's interest in Wing Hang Bank, Ltd.

YEAR 2000 READINESS
- -------------------

        The Company's Year 2000 compliance program consists of updating 
major Company-owned application systems, business-area supported 
systems, and the Company's proprietary customer software and 
evaluating the Year 2000 compliance efforts of vendors of major 
vendor-supplied systems. The Company's compliance efforts have also 
focused on assessing the Year 2000 readiness of its service providers, 
business partners, and borrowers and contingency planning.

        The Company has divided its major proprietary applications 
systems into three business line groups.  The applications in each 
group are subjected to a four-phase process of assessment, renovation, 
certification testing, and implementation. The critical systems in two 
of the groups have completed all four phases. In the third group, 
critical applications appear to be Year 2000 compliant except for 
final certification testing which is expected to be completed by 
December 31, 1998. Compliant versions of substantially all 
applications are currently in use. Major business-line products are 
being made available in isolated future-dated environments for 
customers to test their interfaces and to assure themselves of the 
Company's compliance.  

<PAGE> 21

	The Company has identified its critical vendor-supplied systems.
The Company expects all but one of these systems to be Year 2000 
compliant by December 31, 1998. The Company expects to receive a Year 
2000 compliant version of the remaining system in May 1999.

        One third of the Company's business-area supported systems has 
been designated as exempt from the Year 2000 compliance effort as 
those systems are scheduled to be retired or replaced. An additional 
third has been successfully tested or is undergoing certification 
testing. The remaining third is scheduled to complete testing by March 
31, 1999. 

        Remediation of the Company's proprietary customer software has 
been completed. Although some products await final data center 
acceptance testing, installation on client desktop computers is 
expected to be complete by July 1999. Customers have been advised of 
their obligation to assure that their environments are compliant in 
order for the Company's software to function correctly during and 
after the century date change.
	
        The Company has developed an inventory of its business partners, 
including other financial service providers, correspondents, 
counterparties, sub-custodians, vendors and settlement agencies, for 
the purpose of assessing their Year 2000 compliance. The Company is 
conducting a review of the Year 2000 readiness of each significant 
third party. The Company is prepared to replace service providers that 
are seen as not managing the Year 2000 issue adequately. All third 
party assessments are scheduled to be completed by the end of 1998. If 
necessary, alternative service providers will be retained during the 
first half of 1999.	

        The Company considers Year 2000 readiness in its credit decisions 
and factors this into borrower ratings. Based on a review of 
significant obligors, the Company believes that exposure to obligor 
Year 2000 problems does not present a material risk to the Company. 

        Upgrade of the Company's personal computers and physical 
facilities to be Year 2000 ready is not considered critical to the 
Company's operations.

        The Company's contingency plans relating to Year 2000 issues 
include the identification and assessment of the impact of various 
worst case scenarios on the critical operational components for each 
of the Company's business units. The Company is in the process of 
reviewing the applicability of its current contingency plan and 
expects to complete modifications to the Plan by June 30, 1999.
 
        The Company's Year 2000 compliance program is currently on 
schedule to meet the needs of its customers and compliance deadlines 
defined by its regulators. The estimated cost of the Year 2000 project 

<PAGE> 22

is approximately $82 million, of which $43 million has been spent at
September 30, 1998.
 
	A material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, 
or a failure of, certain normal business activities or operations. 
Such problems could materially and adversely affect the Company's 
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the 
general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in 
part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of suppliers, 
customers and other business partners, the Company is unable to 
determine at this time whether the consequences of the Year 2000 
failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of 
operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Year 2000 compliance 
program is intended to significantly reduce the Company's level of 
uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular, about the 
Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its material business partners. 
The Company believes that, with completion of its Year 2000-compliance 
program as scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of 
normal operations should be reduced. However, because of the 
unprecedented nature of this issue, there can be no certainty as to 
its impact.
	
        Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements contained 
in the Year 2000 section should be read in conjunction with the 
Company's disclosure under the heading "Forward Looking Statements", 
below.

INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO
- ------------------------

        In January 1999, eleven European countries will adopt the euro as 
their common legal currency. In the transition period from adoption 
through December 31, 2001, commerce may be conducted in either the 
euro or the former national currencies. 

        The Company has adapted its information technology systems and 
business practices to attempt to accommodate euro-denominated 
transactions. Affected systems have been identified, modifications 
specified and necessary programming changes have already been 
completed. Testing of those systems has begun and will conclude in the 
fourth quarter of 1998. Customers have been notified of the changes in 
the Company's business practices, Company-developed software 
applications residing on customer computers will be revised or 
replaced before year end. 

        The costs of the technology conversion and customer-related 
efforts incurred through September 30, 1998 have approximated $8 
million. The introduction of the euro currency may result in increased 
price transparency in the euro-area countries as well as a loss of 
cross-currency trading in the former national currencies, and may 

<PAGE> 23

ultimately have profound political and financial implications. In
addition, there may be disruption of international payment and 
settlement operations. Based on its knowledge at this time, however, 
the Company does not, anticipate that the introduction of the euro 
will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of 
operations. 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

	The Company or its executive officers and directors on behalf of 
the Company, may from time to time make forward looking statements. To 
the extent that any forward looking statements are made, the Company 
is necessarily unable to predict future changes in interests rates, 
economic activity, consumer behavior, government monetary policy, 
legislation and regulation, competition, and loan demand. In addition, 
the Company's future results of operations and other forward looking 
statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and 
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q involve a number of risks and 
uncertainties, including risks relating to Year 2000 and the 
introduction of the Euro (in particular, the Year 2000 and Euro-
readiness of third parties with which the Company does business). As a 
result of variations in such factors, actual results may differ 
materially from any forward looking statements. Some of these factors 
are described below. The Company disclaims any obligation to update 
forward looking statements.

Government Monetary Policies
- -------------------------------

	The Federal Reserve Board has the primary responsibility for 
monetary policy; accordingly, its actions have an important influence 
on the demand for credit and investments and the level of interest 
rates and thus on the earnings of the Company.

Legislation and Regulation
- -----------------------------

	Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the 
banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state 
legislatures and before the various bank regulatory agencies. Such 
changes could, among other things, increase the Company's overhead and 
capital costs or reduce fees charged by the Company or increase 
competition for banks. The likelihood and timing of any such changes 
and the impact such changes might have on the Company and its 
subsidiaries, however, cannot be determined at this time.

<PAGE> 24

Competition
- -----------

	The businesses in which the Company operates are very 
competitive. Competition is provided by both unregulated and regulated 
financial services organizations, whose products and services span the 
local, national, and global markets in which the Company conducts 
operations.

	Savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions 
actively compete for deposits, and money market funds and brokerage 
houses offer deposit-like services. These institutions, as well as 
consumer and commercial finance companies, national retail chains, 
factors, insurance companies and pension trusts, are important 
competitors for various types of loans. Issuers of commercial paper 
compete actively for funds and reduce demand for bank loans. For 
personal and corporate trust services and investment counseling 
services, insurance companies, investment counseling firms, and other 
business firms and individuals offer active competition. A wide 
variety of domestic and foreign companies compete for processing 
services
