                        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 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. Acquisitions and Dispositions
   -----------------------------

     On July 22, 1999 the Company completed the sale of BNY Factoring LLC
(Factor) to General Motors Acceptance Corporation for $1.8 billion in cash.
The sale included related Canadian and UK factoring and asset-based lending
operations. The Company recorded a gain in excess of $1 billion on the sale.
The June 30, 1999 balance sheet includes related assets of $3.8 billion (net
of a $37 million allowance for credit losses) as part of other assets that
were classified as held for sale. The decision to sell the Factor was based on
the Company's desire to focus on expanding its higher growth, less asset-
sensitive core activities in securities servicing, cash processing, and trust
and investment services.

     On March 23, 1999, the Company announced its agreement to purchase RBS
Trust Bank Ltd. from the Royal Bank of Scotland plc.  In addition, the Company
will acquire a 30% equity ownership in RBSI Security Services (Holdings) Ltd.,
headquartered on the island of Jersey.  The proposed transaction is subject to
final regulatory approvals, which are expected in September 1999.  RBS Trust
Bank Ltd. has over $640 billion of assets under administration and over $11
billion in total assets as of June 30, 1999.

back. The Company has approved a new plan to buy back an additional 30 million
of its common shares. As of July 31, 1999, approximately 5 million shares
remain to be purchased under this new plan.

5.  New Accounting Pronouncements
    -----------------------------

7.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------

     In the ordinary course of business, there are various claims pending

Item 2.  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 second quarter diluted earnings per share were 42
cents, up 11% from the 38 cents earned in the second quarter of 1998. Net
income for the second quarter was a record $323 million, up 10% from the $295
million earned in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were
82 cents for the first half of 1999, up 11% from the 74 cents earned last
year. Net income for the first six months was a record $639 million, an
increase of 11% over last year's $578 million.

     Continued strong revenue growth in the Company's fee based businesses
combined with the benefits of the ongoing emphasis on cost control and capital
management produced another record performance. Substantial new business wins
coupled with strong and active securities markets worldwide drove securities
servicing revenues up 27% from the second quarter of 1998, matching the first
quarter's superior performance. Trust and investment fees once again grew 16%
led by strong investment performance, new customers, and record levels in U.S.
equity markets. Overall, noninterest income contributed 61% of revenues for
the quarter, demonstrating continued momentum in fee generating businesses.

     In securities servicing, all areas did well with global custody, mutual
funds, securities lending, ADRs and execution services particularly strong.
Domestic and global custody continued to gain market share from new business
wins as assets under custody grew by 20% from a year ago reaching $5.3
trillion at quarter end. Trust and investment's results were due to strong
investment performance which continues to attract new customers. Focus on cost
control was evident, as noninterest expense for the quarter was flat compared
with the first quarter of 1999 and the efficiency ratio improved to 49.9%. As
part of its capital management program, the Company has repurchased all of the
18 million shares authorized under its buyback program. The Company has
approved a new plan to buy back an additional 30 million of its common shares.

     Return on average common equity for the second quarter of 1999 was 24.82%
compared with 24.03% in the second quarter of 1998. Return on average assets
for the second quarter of 1999 was 1.95% compared with 1.90% in the second
quarter of 1998. For the first six months of 1999, return on average common
equity totaled 24.65% compared with 24.49% in 1998. Return on average assets
was 1.94% for the first six months of 1999 compared with 1.91% in 1998.

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter
decreased to $427 million from $436 million in the first quarter of 1999.  For
the first six months of 1999, net interest income on a taxable equivalent
basis was $863 million compared with $828 million in the first half of 1998.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached $302
million for the second quarter compared with $239 million last year. For the
first six months of 1999 fees from the Company's securities servicing
businesses totaled $593 million, growing by 27% compared with the
corresponding period of the prior year. All areas contributed to strong
internal growth of 16%.

     In cash processing, revenues from cash management were up 11% driven by
continued cross selling to the Company's securities servicing customers.
Fees from funds transfer grew by 10% from the previous year, the result of
continued market share gains and the firming global economy. Also benefiting
from the recovery in world markets were trade finance revenues which were up

<PAGE> 10

8% from a year ago. Overall, cash processing fees grew by 10% reaching $70
million for the quarter.

     Trust and investment fees were $60 million for the quarter, an increase
of 16% over last year driven by strong results from personal trust, personal
asset management and retail investment products. Foreign exchange and other
trading revenues were $46 million this quarter compared with $42 million in
the second quarter last year.

     Tangible diluted earnings per share (earnings before the amortization of
goodwill and intangibles) were 44 cents per share in the second quarter of
1999, up from 40 cents per share in the second quarter of 1998. On the same
basis, tangible return on average common equity was 37.79% in 1999 compared
with 37.13% in 1998; and tangible return on average assets was 2.11% in 1999
compared with 2.07% in 1998. Tangible diluted earnings per share were 87 cents
per share for the first six months of 1999, compared with 79 cents per share
in 1998. Tangible return on average common equity was 37.53% in the first six
months of 1999 compared with 37.41% in 1998; and tangible return on average
assets was 2.11% in the first six months of 1999 compared with 2.09% last
year. Amortization of intangibles for the second quarter and the first six
months of 1999 was $27 million and $53 million compared with $25 million and
$49 million last year.

     Average diluted shares outstanding were 773 million for the quarter, down
from the 779 million in the first quarter of 1999 and 783 million in the prior
year period as a result of the Company's stock buyback programs.

CAPITAL

     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios remained
strong at 7.61% and 11.49% at June 30, 1999 compared with 7.84% and 11.86% at
March 31, 1999, and 7.25% and 11.24% at June 30, 1998. Tangible common equity
as a percent of total assets was 5.59% at June 30, 1999 compared with 5.88% at
March 31, 1999 and 5.55% one year ago. The leverage ratio was 7.65% at June
30, 1999 compared with 7.69% at March 31, 1999 and 7.17% one year ago.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $427 million in the
second quarter of 1999 compared with $436 million in the first quarter of 1999
and $424 million in the second quarter of 1998. The net interest rate spread
was 2.18% in the second quarter of 1999, compared with 2.29% in the first
quarter of 1999 and 2.27% one year ago. The net yield on interest-earning
assets was 3.07% compared with 3.18% in the first quarter of 1999 and 3.28% in
last year's second quarter.

     For the first six months of 1999, net interest income on a taxable
equivalent basis, amounted to $863 million compared with $828 million in the
first half of 1998. The year-to-date net interest rate spread was 2.24% in
1999 compared with 2.25% in 1998, while the net yield on interest-earning
assets was 3.13% in 1999 and 3.30% in 1998.

<PAGE> 11

     The declines in net interest income, interest rate spread and yield from
the first quarter were primarily the result of continued growth in loans that
support our securities servicing activities.  These loans are lower yielding
and short term in nature.

     Interest income would have been increased by $4 million and $3 million
for the second quarters of 1999 and 1998 and $6 million for the first six
months of 1999 and 1998 if loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 1999 and
1998 had been performing for the entire quarter.

     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, and any risk evaluation system has judgmental aspects.

     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.

expense for the quarter of $513 million, compared with $509 million in the
first quarter of 1999. The increase of 9% from $472 million in the same period
last year was principally due to acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the

     The allowance for credit losses was $595 million, or 1.55% of loans at
June 30, 1999 compared with $632 million, or 1.59% of loans at March 31, 1999
and $646 million, or 1.65% of loans at June 30, 1998. The ratio of the
allowance to nonperforming assets was 271.0% at June 30, 1999 compared with
284.3% at March 31, 1999 and 324.9% at June 30, 1998.

     Based on an evaluation of individual credits, historical credit losses,
and global economic factors, the Company has allocated its allowance for
credit losses as follows:

                                         6/30/99     3/31/99   12/31/98

Domestic Commercial and Industrial            80          82         74
Consumer                                       -           -          1
Foreign                                       13          13         11

                                             ---         ---        ---
                                             100%        100%       100%

     Such an allocation is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for
credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of
the loss. The increase in the allowance allocated to domestic commercial and
industrial loans in 1999 reflects the increase in nonperforming loans in 1999
and other economic factors.

     The discussion below contains certain forward looking statements.  These
statements are qualified by the discussion of "Forward Looking Statements" on
page 20.

     The Company continues to emphasize growth in its fee based businesses and
regularly reviews its credit portfolio, to reduce its exposure to potential
credit losses and to ensure that its relationships justify the risks
associated with credit extension. During the third quarter, the Company has
been reviewing its portfolio to determine the need to accelerate the
disposition of some of its loans.  Depending on the results of this review the
Company may record a liquidity charge to noninterest income, an increase in
its provision and charge-offs and a related decrease in nonperforming loans in
the third quarter of 1999.  The ultimate size of the accelerated disposition
program is dependent on economic, credit, and business events in the third
quarter.

SEGMENT PROFITABILITY

Segment Data

     Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted a new accounting
pronouncement requiring disclosure about the Company's segments based on a
management approach. The Company has an internal information system that
produces performance data for its four segments along product and service
lines.

     The Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment 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 primarily relate to funds
transfer, deposit services and trade finance.

     The Corporate Banking segment provides lending services, including asset
based financing, to domestic and international commercial enterprises.

     The Retail Banking segment includes consumer lending, residential
mortgage lending, and retail deposit services.

     The Financial Markets segment includes trading, investing and leasing
activities, and treasury services to other segments.

     The Company's segment data has been determined on an internal management
basis of accounting, other than the generally accepted accounting principles
used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are
designed to ensure that reported results of the segments track their economic
performance. Segment results are subject to restatement when improvements are
made in the measurement principles or organizational changes are made. In
1999, net interest income for the Corporate Banking and Financial Markets
segments has been restated to reflect adjustments to deposit balances
allocated to these sectors.

     The measure of revenues and profit or loss by operating segment has been
adjusted to present segment data on a taxable equivalent basis. The provision
for credit losses allocated to each reportable segment is based on
management's judgment as to average credit losses that will be incurred in the
operations of the segment over a credit cycle of a period of years.
Management's judgment includes the following factors among others: historical
charge-off experience and the volume, composition and growth of the loan
portfolio. This method is different from that required under generally
accepted accounting principles as it anticipates future losses which are not
yet probable and therefore not recognizable under generally accepted
accounting principles. Assets and liabilities are match funded. Support and
other indirect expenses are allocated to segments based on general guidelines.

     The segments contributed to the Company's profitability as follows:

* - Reconciling items for net interest income primarily relate to the
recording of interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, reallocation of
capital and the funding of goodwill. Reconciling items for noninterest income
primarily relate to the sale of a building in 1998. Reconciling items for
noninterest expense include $27 million and $53 million of goodwill
amortization for the second quarter and year-to-date for 1999 and $25 million
and $49 million of goodwill amortization for the second quarter and year-to-
date for 1998, Year 2000 expenses, and corporate overhead. The adjustment to
the provision for credit losses reflects the difference between the aggregate
of the credit provision over a credit cycle for the reportable segments and
the Company's recorded provision. The reconciling items for average assets
consist of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Segment Highlights

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

     In the Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment, noninterest
income in the second quarter of 1999 increased to $465 million from $377
million in the second quarter of 1998. All of the Company's businesses have
shown strong internal growth with global custody, mutual funds, securities
lending, ADRs, and execution services performing particularly well. Strong
internal growth across all areas reached 16%, with remaining growth coming
from acquisitions. Domestic and global custody continued to gain market share
from new business wins as assets under custody grew by 20% from a year ago
reaching $5.3 trillion at quarter end. Securities servicing fees increased to
$302 million as compared with $239 million in the second quarter of 1998. Fee
revenues from issuer services grew to $116 million in the second quarter of
1999, up from $98 million in the prior year's period. Investment company
services increased to $99 million in the second quarter of 1999, as compared
to $80 million in the second quarter of 1998. Broker/dealer services in the
second quarter of 1999 were $87 million, up from $60 million last year.

     Fees from cash processing in the second quarter of 1999 increased to $70
million from $64 million in last year's second quarter.  Revenues from cash
management were up 11% driven by continued cross selling to the Company's
securities servicing customers. Trade finance revenues were up 8% from a year
ago as recovery in world markets continues.  Fees from funds transfer grew by
10% from the previous year, the result of continued markets share gains and
the firming global economy. Fees from trust and investment management grew to
$60 million in the second quarter of 1999, as compared to $51 million in the
second quarter of 1998, driven by strong results from personal trust, personal
asset management and retail investment products.

     Net charge-offs in the Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment
were zero in the second quarters of 1999 and 1998. The rise in noninterest
expense is consistent with the increase in growth as well as the added salary
and other expenses from acquisitions.

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

     The Corporate Banking segment's net interest income was $167 million in
the second quarter of 1999, an 11% increase from last year's $150 million. In
the second quarter of 1999, average loans outstanding in the Corporate Banking
segment increased 4% from the second quarter of last year.

     The second quarter of 1999 provision for credit losses was $32 million
compared with $28 million last year. Net charge-offs in the Corporate Banking
segment were $16 million and $3 million in the second quarters of 1999 and
1998. The 6% increase in noninterest income to $92 million in the current
quarter reflects higher revenues associated with capital markets activities,
offset by lower asset based lending revenue and lower income from the
Company's offshore banking subsidiaries. Noninterest expense increased to $79
million from $67 million.

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

     In the Retail Banking segment, net interest income in the second quarter
of 1999 was $120 million as compared with $129 million in the second quarter
of 1998. Net interest income in the branch banking network has been negatively
impacted by the decline in the value of noninterest bearing sources of funds
in a declining rate environment. Noninterest income increased in this same
period to $23 million from $20 million.  Noninterest expense in the second
quarter of 1999 was $72 million as compared with $73 in the previous year's
period. Net charge-offs were $1 million in both the second quarter of 1999 and
1998.

<PAGE> 18

Financial Markets
- -----------------

     In the Financial Markets segment, net interest income for the quarter
increased to $23 million from 1998's $20 million primarily due to increased
leasing activities. Noninterest income decreased to $60 million in the second
quarter of 1999 from $63 million in the second quarter of 1998, a 5% decrease
reflecting decreases in foreign exchange and other trading revenue. Net
recoveries were $2 million in the second quarters of 1999 and zero in the
second quarter of 1998.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The Year 2000 information in this document is provided without warranty
or guarantee of any kind, and is not intended to supplement or amend any
agreements between the Company and its customers or suppliers. The Company
does not warrant or represent that its computer systems or those of its
suppliers or business partners are or will be Year 2000 compliant. The Year
2000 information in this letter is subject to the Year 2000 Information and
Readiness Disclosure Act, and supersedes any previous information provided by
the Company concerning its Year 2000 efforts.

     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 considered the Year 2000 readiness of its global
sub-custodians, major service providers, correspondents, business partners,
and borrowers. The current focus is to monitor continued preparedness and
contingency planning. While contingency planning has been defined as part of
the Year 2000 compliance program, all new measures have been incorporated into
the Bank's existing Business Continuity Plans.

     The Company divided its major proprietary applications systems into three
business line groups. The applications in each group were subjected to a
phased process of assessment, renovation, certification testing, and
implementation. All critical systems have completed all phases. A program is
in place to continue to monitor critical systems to prevent Y2K problems from
being reintroduced. Major business-line products have been made available in
isolated future-dated environments for selected customers to test their
interfaces and to assure themselves of the Company's compliance. The Company
is satisfied with the results of testing with customers and agencies.
Continued participation at the request of the agencies and customers will
continue as required.

     Remediation of the Company's proprietary customer software has been
completed. Installation on client desktop computers is substantially complete.
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 substantially completed an evaluation of its significant
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 currently satisfied with the information it has received concerning the
progress and Year 2000 readiness programs of each significant third party.
The Company will continue to monitor the readiness and progress of these
parties throughout 1999. The Company intends to replace service providers that
are seen as not managing the Year 2000 issue adequately.

     The Company considers Year 2000 readiness in its credit decisions and
factors this into borrower ratings. Based on a review of significant obligors,

<PAGE> 19

the Company believes that exposure to obligor Year 2000 problems does not
present a material risk to the Company.

     The Company's personal computers considered to be critical to the
Company's operations have been upgraded. Upgrading of physical facilities that
is considered critical to the Company's operations to Year 2000 readiness are
expected to be completed by the end of September 1999.

     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 has reviewed the applicability of its current contingency plans,
which include creation of an information center, establishment of special
rapid response technology teams, scheduling availability of key personnel,
testing and simulation activities, offsite data center facilities, and
emergency backup power. These plans, with minor modification have been
determined to be adequate to mitigate Year 2000 related risks. The information
center, which has been established as a repository and focus for analysis of
information, will publish the status of the organization internally and
externally during critical periods. It is also authorized to requisition and
deploy resources as needed to address unanticipated situations.

     Overall the Company's Year 2000 compliance program is on or ahead of
schedule to meet the needs of its customers and compliance deadlines defined
by its regulators. The estimated cost of the Year 2000 project is
approximately $82 million. In the first half of 1999 the Company spent $11
million on making computer systems Year 2000 compliant. Total expenses since
1997 have been $62 million.

     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, as well as
entities with which the Company does not have direct business relations, 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.

INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO

     In January 1999, eleven European countries adopted 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 accommodate euro-denominated transactions. 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 ultimately have profound political and financial
implications. Based on its knowledge at this time, the Company does not,
anticipate that the introduction of the euro will have a material effect on
the Company's 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. Any such
forward looking statements could be affected by a number of factors that the
Company is necessarily unable to predict with accuracy, including  future
changes in interest rates, general credit quality, economic activity, consumer
behavior, government monetary policy, legislation and regulation, competition,
credit, market and operating risk, 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 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, increase competition for banks, or provide for further
integration of the financial services industry. 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.

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.

     In addition to other commercial banks, 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.
