this standard.  In addition, the FASB is considering an amendment to the
standard.  As a result, the Company has not yet determined all of the effects
of this new accounting standard.

    --------------------------------------
     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 9>

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 first quarter diluted earnings per share were a
record 46 cents, up 12% from the 41 cents earned in the first quarter of 1999.
Net income for the first quarter was a record $338 million, up 7% from the
$316 million earned in the same period last year. The prior period included
the results of BNY Financial Corporation ("BNYFC") which was divested in the
third quarter of 1999.

     The Company's continued gains in global market share, and the increased
pace of investment activities world wide resulted in all areas of securities
servicing exceeding expectations. The strategy of offering an industry leading
array of products across multiple markets, combined with favorable global
market activity fueled strong revenue growth in securities servicing and
fiduciary services, producing record results for the first quarter.

     In securities servicing, fee revenues increased to $372 million or 28%
for the quarter, while foreign exchange and other trading increased to $76
million or 80%, with both benefiting from the surge in global trading volumes
and new business wins. Private client services and asset management fees grew
21%, led by new business growth and continued strong investment performance,
as well as the acquisition of Estabrook Capital Management, Inc. The Company's
continued focus on fee based businesses resulted in noninterest income growing
to 62% of total revenues in the first quarter, up from 59% in the first
quarter a year ago.

     Return on average common equity for the first quarter of 2000 was a
record 27.07% compared with 25.98% and 24.48% in the fourth and first quarters
of 1999, respectively. Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2000
was 1.78% compared with 1.84% and 1.94% in the fourth and first quarters of
1999, respectively.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached $372
million for the first quarter compared with $291 million in the prior year.
Significant new business and continued expansion in existing clients'
portfolios resulted in assets under custody reaching $6.7 trillion for the
quarter. Fee revenue was strong across all product lines with particular
strength in global custody, ADR's, and global execution and clearing services.

     Private client services and asset management fees were $70 million for
the quarter, up a strong 21% over last year, driven by strong performance in
BNY Asset Management, combined with the positive impact of the Estabrook
acquisition.

     For the first quarter of 2000, fees in global payment services were $66
million. Revenues from cash management were up 12% from last year's first
quarter, driven by significant new deposit and disbursement service business
with the Company's specialized industries customers. Revenues from funds
transfer grew by 10%, the result of additional electronic payment business
received from foreign banks and domestic clients in the on-line brokerage
industries. Fees in cash management and funds transfer were up only slightly
compared with last year's first quarter due to customers' expanded use of
compensating balances in lieu of fees in a rising rate environment. Trade
finance fees were down from a year ago primarily due to the sale of BNYFC and
reduced pricing in the Asian and Latin American markets evidencing greater
economic stability in those regions.

<PAGE 10>

     Foreign exchange and other trading revenues for the quarter increased 36%
versus the fourth quarter and 80% versus the first quarter of last year to a
record $76 million driven by continued cross selling to the Company's global
custody clients and greater market volatility. Foreign exchange revenues from
the Company's European based securities servicing operations were particularly
strong, complemented by the recent Royal Bank of Scotland Trust Bank ("RBSTB")
acquisition.

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter
increased to $460 million from $453 million in the fourth quarter of 1999.

     Tangible diluted earnings per share (earnings before the amortization of
goodwill and intangibles) were 48 cents per share in the first quarter of
2000, up from 43 cents per share in the first quarter of 1999. On the same
basis, tangible return on average common equity was 43.03% in the first
quarter of 2000 compared with 37.28% in 1999; and tangible return on average
assets was 1.93% in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 2.11% in 1999.
Amortization of intangibles for the first quarter of 2000 was $28 million
compared with $26 million in the first quarter of 1999.

CAPITAL

     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios were
7.39% and 11.50% at March 31, 2000 compared with 7.51% and 11.67% at December
31, 1999, and 7.84% and 11.86% at March 31, 1999. The leverage ratio was 6.66%
at March 31, 2000 compared with 7.20% at December 31, 1999 and 7.69% one year
ago. The Company's tangible common equity as a percent of total assets was
4.74% at March 31, 2000 compared with 4.79% at December 31, 1999 and 5.88% at
March 31, 1999. The decline in the capital ratios reflects growth in the
Company's securities servicing businesses and the acquisition of RBSTB, which
brought approximately $10 billion in highly liquid, short-term assets and
liabilities. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased
approximately 6 million shares under its common stock repurchase programs.

LIQUIDITY

     The Company maintains its liquidity through the management of its assets
and liabilities, utilizing worldwide financial markets. The diversification of
liabilities reflects the flexibility of the Company's funding sources under
changing market conditions. Stable core deposits, including demand, retail
time, and trust deposits from processing businesses, are generated through the
Company's diversified network and managed with the use of trend studies and
deposit pricing. The use of derivative products such as interest rate swaps
and financial futures enhances liquidity through the issue of long-term
liabilities with limited exposure to interest rate risk. Liquidity also
results from the maintenance of a portfolio of assets, which can be easily
reduced, and the monitoring of unfunded loan commitments, thereby reducing
unanticipated funding requirements.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $460 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared with $453 million in the fourth quarter of 1999
and $436 million in the first quarter of 1999. The net interest rate spread
was 1.96% in the first quarter of 2000, compared with 2.07% in the fourth
quarter of 1999 and 2.29% one year ago. The net yield on interest-earning
assets was 2.89% compared with 3.02% in the fourth quarter of 1999 and 3.18%
in last year's first quarter.

     The increase in net interest income and the decline in spread and yield
from the fourth quarter was primarily caused by growth in highly liquid but
lower yielding assets associated with the Company's securities servicing
business.

     Interest income would have been increased by $3 million in both the first
quarters of 2000 and 1999 if loans on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2000 and
1999 had been performing for the entire quarter.

     The Company manages trading risk through a system of position limits,
a value at risk (VAR) methodology, based on a Monte Carlo simulation, 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. As the VAR
methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial,
economic or other occurrences, the risk assessment process includes a
number of stress scenarios based upon the risk factors in the portfolio and

NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

     Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2000 was $602 million, up
from $571 million in the fourth quarter and $509 million in 1999. The increase
was principally due to acquisitions including RBSTB, which closed on October
31, 1999, as well as growth in the Company's securities servicing businesses,
including higher spending on technology projects.

     The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2000 was 52.1% compared
with 52.3% in the fourth quarter of 1999 and 50.3% for the first quarter of
1999.

     The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 were 34.8%
and 34.9%.

     The allowance for credit losses was $600 million, or 1.48% of loans at
March 31, 2000 compared with $595 million, or 1.58% of loans at December 31,
1999 and $632 million, or 1.59% of loans at March 31, 1999. The ratio of the
allowance to nonperforming assets was 378.1% at March 31, 2000 compared with
376.9% at December 31, 1999 and 284.3% at March 31, 1999.

     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:

     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.

SEGMENT PROFITABILITY

Segment Data

     The Company has an internal information system that produces performance
data for its four segments along product and service lines.

     The Servicing and Fiduciary segment provides a broad array of fee based
services. This segment includes the Company's securities servicing, global
payment services, and private client services and asset management businesses.
Securities servicing includes global custody, securities clearance, mutual
funds, unit investment trust, securities lending, American Depositary
Receipts, corporate trust, stock transfer and execution services. Global
payment services products primarily relate to funds transfer, cash management
and trade finance. Private client services and asset management provide
traditional banking and trust services to affluent clients and asset
management to institutional and private clients.

<PAGE 15>

     The Corporate Banking segment provides lending services, such as term
loans, lines of credit, asset based financings, and commercial mortgages, to
domestic and international commercial enterprises. Through BNY Capital
Markets, the Company provides syndicated loans, bond underwriting, private
placements of corporate debt and equity securities, and merger, acquisition,
and advisory services.

     The Retail Banking segment includes consumer lending, residential
mortgage lending, and retail deposit services. The Company operates 352
branches in 22 counties in three states.

     The Financial Markets segment includes trading of foreign exchange and
interest rate products, 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 ensure
that reported results of the segments track their economic performance.
Segment results are subject to restatement whenever improvements are made in
the measurement principles or organizational changes are made.

     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:

Segment Highlights

Servicing and Fiduciary Businesses
- ----------------------------------

     Net interest income in the Servicing and Fiduciary segment was $164
million compared with $106 million in 1999. In the first quarter of 2000,
noninterest income was $573 million up from $447 million in 1999.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached $372
million for the first quarter compared with $291 million in the prior year.
Significant new business and continued expansion in existing clients'
portfolios resulted in assets under custody reaching $6.7 trillion for the
quarter. Fee revenue was strong across all product lines with particular
strength in global custody, ADR's, and global execution and clearing services.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company was appointed for 60% of all new
depository receipt programs.

     Private client services and asset management fees were $70 million for
the quarter, up a strong 21% over last year, driven by strong performance in
BNY Asset Management, combined with the positive impact of the Estabrook
acquisition. Assets under management were $62.8 billion while assets under
administration were $32.4 billion at March 31, 2000.

     For the first quarter of 2000, fees in global payment services were $66
million. Revenues from cash management were up 12% from last year's first
quarter, driven by significant new deposit and disbursement service business
with the Company's specialized industries customers. Revenues from funds
transfer grew by 10%, the result of additional electronic payment business
received from foreign banks and domestic clients in the on-line brokerage
industries. Fees in cash management and funds transfer were up only slightly
compared with last year's first quarter due to customers' expanded use of
compensating balances in lieu of fees in a rising rate environment. Trade
finance fees were down from a year ago primarily due to the sale of BNYFC and
reduced pricing in the Asian and Latin American markets evidencing greater
economic stability in those regions.

     Net charge-offs in the Servicing and Fiduciary Businesses segment were
zero in the first quarters of 2000 and 1999. Noninterest expense for the first
quarter of 2000 was $385 million compared with $288 million in 1999. 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 $132 million in
the first quarter of 2000, down from last year's $169 million. The decline
reflects the sale of BNYFC.

     The first quarter of 2000 provision for credit losses was $28 million
compared with $29 million last year. Net charge-offs in the Corporate Banking
segment were $14 million and $18 million in the first quarters of 2000 and
1999. Noninterest income was $75 million in the current year compared with $86
million last year. The decline is attributable to the sale of BNYFC partially
offset by a 13% increase in revenues associated with capital markets
activities and higher income from the Company's offshore banking subsidiaries.
Noninterest expense declined to $53 million from $65 million reflecting the
sale of BNYFC.


<PAGE 17>

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

     In the Retail Banking segment, net interest income in the first quarter
of 2000 was $128 million as compared with $114 million in the first quarter of
1999. The increase reflects the higher value of demand deposits in an
increasing rate environment. Noninterest income increased in this same period
to $24 million from $21 million. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of
2000 was $73 million as compared with $75 million in the previous year's
period. Net charge-offs were $1 million in the first quarters of 2000 and
1999.

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

     In the Financial Markets segment, net interest income for the quarter was
$14 million compared with 1999's $29 million due to a decline in net interest
income from leasing activities reflecting higher interest rates. Noninterest
income was $63 million in the first quarter of 2000 up from $49 million in the
first quarter of 1999 reflecting growth in interest rate derivatives and
foreign exchange proprietary trading. Net charge-offs were zero in the first
quarters of 2000 and 1999.

Reconciling Items
- -----------------

     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 expense
include $28 million and $26 million of amortization of intangibles in the
first quarters of 2000 and 1999, 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.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The Company's data processing systems transitioned to the start of the
Year 2000 without exhibiting any material problems. In addition to analysis,
remediation, and testing of the Company's systems, the Company's compliance
program focused on assessing the Year 2000 readiness of its global sub-
custodians, major service providers, correspondents, business partners, and
borrowers. The Company has not experienced any material problems due to the
Year 2000 performance of any significant third party. The Company's current
focus is to monitor continued performance, preparedness, and contingency
planning. While contingency planning has been defined as part of the Year 2000
compliance program, owing to the Company's continued exposure to potential Y2K
problems, all new measures have been incorporated into the Company's existing
Business Continuity Plans.

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

addition to statements specifically identified as forward looking statements.
These statements, projections or future plans, 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, discussions of future
plans 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 the uncertainties created
by the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of
1999. As a result of variations in such factors, actual results may differ
materially from any forward looking statements.

     Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The
Company will not update forward looking statements to reflect factual
assumptions, circumstances or events which have changed after a forward
looking statement was made.

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.

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.

PART 2.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

     The Company is cooperating with investigations being conducted by federal
and state law enforcement and bank regulatory authorities focusing on funds
transfer activities in certain accounts at BNY, principally involving wire
transfers from Russian and other sources in Eastern Europe, as well as certain
other matters involving BNY and its affiliates. The funds transfer
investigations center around accounts controlled by Peter Berlin, his wife,
Lucy Edwards (until discharged in September 1999, an officer of BNY), and
companies and persons associated with them. Berlin and Edwards have pleaded
guilty to various federal criminal charges.

     On February 8, 2000, BNY entered into a written agreement with both the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York State Banking Department,
which imposed a number of reporting requirements and controls. Substantial
portions of these were in place on the date the agreement was signed.

     Four purported shareholder derivative actions have been filed in
connection with these Russian related matters - - two in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and two in the New York
Supreme Court, New York County - - against certain directors and officers of
the Company and BNY alleging that the defendants have breached their fiduciary
duties of due care and loyalty by aggressively pursuing business with Russian
banks and entities without implementing sufficient safeguards and failing to
supervise properly those responsible for that business. The actions seek, on
behalf of the Company and BNY, monetary damages from the defendants,
corrective action and attorneys' fees.

     Additionally, on October 7, 1999, six alleged depositors of Joint Stock
Bank Inkombank ("Inkombank"), a Russian Bank, filed a purported class action
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on
behalf of all depositors of Inkombank who lost their deposits when that bank
collapsed in 1998. The complaint, as subsequently amended, alleges that the
Company and BNY and their senior officers knew about, and aided and abetted
the looting of Inkombank by its principals. The amended complaint asserts
causes of action for conversion and aiding and abetting conversion under New
York law. In addition, the amended complaint states a claim under the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). It seeks an
unspecified amount of damages believed to exceed $500 million, along with
punitive damages of $500 million, interest, costs, attorneys' fees, expert
fees, and other expenses. The amended compliant seeks a trebling of any RICO
damages. The Company and BNY moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and the
Court granted that motion with leave to replead. The Company and BNY believe
that the allegations of the amended complaint are without merit and intend to
defend the actions vigorously.

     The Company does not expect that any of the foregoing civil actions will
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal 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 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
