4.  Capital Transactions
    --------------------

     As of July 31, 2000, the Company has approximately 7 million common
shares remaining to repurchase under its share buyback programs.

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

     Effective January 1, 2001, 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 Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") continues to issue interpretative guidance related to
this standard. Based upon current interpretations of the standard and market
conditions as of June 30, 2000, the adoption of the standard is not expected
to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

7.  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.

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
48 cents, up 14% from the 42 cents earned in the second quarter of 1999. Net
income for the second quarter was a record $356 million, up 10% from the
$323 million earned in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share
were 93 cents for the first half of 2000, up 13% from the 82 cents earned last
year. Net income for the first six months was a record $694 million, an
increase of 9% over last year's $639 million. Last year's results included BNY
Financial Corporation ("BNYFC") which was divested in the third quarter of
1999.

     The second quarter results offer further evidence of the strength of
the Company's long-term strategy to deliver sustainable, high quality revenue
and earnings growth. In securities servicing, fee revenues increased to a
record $403 million, or 33% for the quarter. Foreign exchange and other
trading revenue increased to $71 million or 54% over last year, benefiting
from a surge in global trading volumes and market share gains. Private client
services and asset management fees grew 21% in the quarter, led by strong
performance in all product areas. The Company's continued focus on fee-based
businesses resulted in noninterest income growing to 63% of total revenue in
the second quarter, up from 61% last year.

     Return on average common equity for the second quarter of 2000 was 26.93%
compared with 24.82% in the second quarter of 1999. Return on average assets
for the second quarter of 2000 was 1.81% compared with 1.95% in the second
quarter of 1999. For the first six months of 2000, return on average common
equity was 27.00% compared with 24.65% in 1999. Return on average assets was
1.79% for the first six months of 2000 compared with 1.94% in 1999.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached a record
$403 million for the second quarter compared with $302 million last year. For
the first six months of 2000, fees from the Company's securities servicing
businesses totaled a record $775 million, growing 31% compared with
$593 million in 1999. Fee revenue was strong across all product lines with
particular strength in global custody, depositary receipts ("DRs"), and global
execution and clearing services. Fee revenue also benefited from the
acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland Trust Bank ("RBSTB") in the fourth
quarter of 1999. The Company continues to be the world's leading custodian
with assets of $6.8 trillion. Cross-border custody assets now total
$2 trillion, reflecting the rapid expansion of worldwide capital markets.
DR trading activity reached an all time high, evidence of U.S. investor
interest in global telecommunication, media, and technology industries as well
as significant cross-border merger and acquisition activity.

     Private client services and asset management fees were $72 million for
the quarter, up 21% over last year, led by continued superior investment
performance by BNY Asset Management resulting in further new business, as well
as by the acquisition of Estabrook Capital Management, Inc.

     Total revenues from global payment services, excluding trade finance,
were up 10% from last year's second quarter, primarily due to strength in cash
management. The introduction of CA$H-Register PlusSM, the Company's new
browser-based delivery system for cash management services, has fueled revenue
growth in the middle market and small business client segments. Trade finance
revenues were down from a year ago primarily due to the sale of BNYFC and
reduced pricing, driven by the improved risk profiles of select Asian and
Latin American markets.

     Foreign exchange and other trading revenues for the quarter increased 54%
over the second quarter of last year to $71 million. In the first six months

<PAGE> 10

of 2000, foreign exchange and other trading revenues were $147 million
compared with $88 million last year. Foreign exchange revenues from the
Company's global securities servicing customer base were particularly strong,
due to increased transaction flows and customer penetration.

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter
increased to $477 million from $460 million in the first quarter of 2000. For
the first six months of 2000, net interest income on a taxable equivalent
basis was $937 million compared with $863 million in the first half of 1999.

     Tangible diluted earnings per share (earnings before the amortization of
goodwill and intangibles) were 51 cents per share in the second quarter of
2000, up 16% from 44 cents per share in the second quarter of 1999. On the
same basis, tangible return on average common equity was 41.77% in the second
quarter of 2000 compared with 37.79% in 1999; and tangible return on average
assets was 1.96% in the second quarter of 2000 compared with 2.11% in 1999.
Tangible diluted earnings per share were 99 cents per share for the first six
months of 2000, up 14%, compared with 87 cents per share in 1999. Tangible
return on average common equity was 42.37% in the first six months of 2000
compared with 37.53% in 1999; and tangible return on average assets was 1.94%
in the first six months of 2000 compared with 2.11% last year. Amortization of
intangibles for the second quarter and the first six months of 2000 were
$28 million and $56 million, respectively, compared with $27 million and
$53 million last year.

CAPITAL

     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios were
8.03% and 12.24% at June 30, 2000, compared with 7.39% and 11.49% at
March 31, 2000, and 7.63% and 11.52% at June 30, 1999. The leverage ratio was
6.80% at June 30, 2000, compared with 6.66% at March 31, 2000, and 7.65% one
year ago. Tangible common equity as a percent of total assets was 5.11% at
June 30, 2000, compared with 4.74% at March 31, 2000, and 5.59% one year ago.
The decline in the leverage and tangible common equity ratios from 1999
primarily reflects the acquisition of RBSTB, which brought approximately
$10 billion in highly liquid, short-term assets and liabilities. In the second
quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased approximately one 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 is designed to enhance 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.

     Total noninterest income reached $780 million, up 20%, from $651 million
in the prior year period. The decline in cash servicing fees reflects both
lower trade finance fees as well as lower cash management and funds transfer
fees due to customers' expanded use of compensating balances in lieu of fees
in a rising interest rate environment. Service charges and fees increased to
$104 million due to higher capital markets activity. Securities gains were
$45 million compared with $40 million in the first quarter of 2000 and
$50 million one year ago.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $477 million in the
second quarter of 2000 compared with $460 million in the first quarter of 2000
and $427 million in the second quarter of 1999. The net interest rate spread
was 1.93% in the second quarter of 2000, compared with 1.96% in the first
quarter of 2000 and 2.18% one year ago. The net yield on interest-earning
assets was 2.91% compared with 2.89% in the first quarter of 2000 and 3.07% in
last year's second quarter.

     For the first six months of 2000, net interest income on a taxable
equivalent basis, amounted to $937 million compared with $863 million in the
first half of 1999. The year-to-date net interest rate spread was 1.94% in
2000 compared with 2.24% in 1999, while the net yield on interest-earning
assets was 2.90% in 2000 and 3.13% in 1999.

     The expansion of the Company's securities servicing, global payment
services, and asset management businesses continues to generate increased
levels of deposits. These additional deposits were invested in high quality
liquid assets which increased net interest income, although lowering the net
interest-rate spread. The improvement in the yield from the first quarter of
2000 reflects the growing value of interest-free deposits generated by the
Company's securities and fiduciary businesses.

     Interest income would have been increased by $1 million and $4 million
for the second quarters of 2000 and 1999 and $4 million and $6 million for the
first six months of 2000 and 1999 if loans on nonaccrual status at June 30,
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
management's assessment of market conditions. Additional stress scenarios
based upon historic market events are also tested.

     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.

     The allowance for credit losses increased to $610 million, or 1.60% of
loans at June 30, 2000, compared with $600 million, or 1.48% of loans at
March 31, 2000, and $595 million, or 1.55% of loans at June 30, 1999. The
ratio of the allowance to nonperforming assets was 376.4% at June 30, 2000,

     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 Highlights

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

     In the second quarter of 2000, noninterest income was $610 million up
from $465 million in 1999.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached a record
$403 million for the second quarter compared with $302 million last year. For
the first six months of 2000, fees from the Company's securities servicing
businesses totaled a record $775 million, growing 31% compared with
$593 million in 1999. Fee revenue was strong across all product lines with
particular strength in global custody, depositary receipts, and global
execution and clearing services. Fee revenue also benefited from the
acquisition of the RBSTB in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company continues
to be the world's leading custodian with assets of $6.8 trillion. Cross-border
custody assets now total $2 trillion, reflecting the rapid expansion of
worldwide capital markets. DR trading activity reached an all time high,
evidence of U.S. investor interest in global telecommunication, media, and
technology industries as well as significant cross-border merger and
acquisition activity. Execution and clearing services continue to benefit from
increased activity and a steady flow of new business.  In addition, the
acquisition of GENA and SG Cowen have contributed to the success of these
businesses.

     Private client services and asset management fees were $72 million for
the quarter, up 21% over last year, led by continued superior investment
performance by BNY Asset Management resulting in further new business, as well
as by the acquisition of Estabrook Capital Management, Inc. Assets under
management were $62.9 billion while assets under administration were $32.2
billion at June 30, 2000.

     Total revenues from global payment services, excluding trade finance,
were up 10% from last year's second quarter, primarily due to strength in cash
management. The introduction of CA$H-Register PlusSM, the Company's new
browser-based delivery system for cash management services, has fueled revenue
growth in the middle market and small business client segments. Trade finance

<PAGE> 17

revenues were down from a year ago primarily due to the sale of BNYFC and
reduced pricing, driven by the improved risk profiles of select Asian and
Latin American markets.

     Net interest income in the Servicing and Fiduciary businesses segment
was $160 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared with $100 million in
1999. The increase in net interest income is partially attributable to the
acquisition of RBSTB.

     Net charge-offs in the Servicing and Fiduciary Businesses segment were
zero in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999. Noninterest expense for the
second quarter of 2000 was $400 million compared with $278 million in 1999.
The increase was principally due to acquisitions and technology investment.

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

     The Corporate Banking segment's net interest income was $160 million in
the second quarter of 2000, down from last year's $167 million. The decline
reflects the sale of BNYFC.

     The second quarter of 2000 provision for credit losses was $38 million
compared with $32 million last year. Net charge-offs in the Corporate Banking
segment were $14 million and $16 million in the second quarters of 2000 and
1999. Noninterest income was $87 million in the current year compared with
$92 million last year. The decline is attributable to the sale of BNYFC
partially offset by the receipt of a few large loan syndication fees.
Noninterest expense declined to $52 million from $79 million reflecting the
sale of BNYFC.

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

     In the Retail Banking segment, net interest income in the second quarter
of 2000 was $132 million compared with $120 million in 1999. The increase
reflects the higher value of demand deposits in an increasing interest rate
environment. Noninterest income increased in this same period to $24 million
from $23 million. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2000 was
$79 million compared with $72 million in the previous year's period. Net
charge-offs were $1 million in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999.

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

     In the Financial Markets segment, net interest income for the quarter was
$22 million compared with 1999's $23 million. Noninterest income was $59
million in the second quarter of 2000 down slightly from the $60 million
recorded in the second quarter of 1999. The second quarter's results reflect
continued success in foreign exchange trading. Net charge-offs were zero and
net recoveries were $2 million in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999.

Segment Accounting Principles
-----------------------------

     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

<PAGE> 18

accounting principles. Assets and liabilities are match funded. Support and
other indirect expenses are allocated to segments based on general guidelines.

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 $27 million of amortization of intangibles in the
second 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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The information presented with respect to, among other things, earnings
growth, legal proceedings, the Company's plans and objectives in moving into
fee based business, and future loan losses, is forward looking information.
Forward looking statements are the Company's current estimates or expectations
of future events or future results. As such, forward looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from projected results discussed in this Report. These include
lower than expected performance or higher than expected costs in connection
with acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses, variations in
management projections or market forecasts and the actions that management
could take in response to these changes.

     The Company or its executive officers and directors on behalf of the
Company, may from time to time make forward looking statements. When used in
this report, any press release or oral statements, the words "estimate",
"project", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe", "plan", "goal", and
words of like import are intended to identify forward looking statements in
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, the level
of capital market activity, 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 Act of
1999 (Financial Services Modernization). 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.

     A wide variety of domestic and foreign companies compete for processing
services. 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.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

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

     The Company continues to cooperate with investigations, which have been
ongoing for almost two years, by federal and state law enforcement and bank
regulatory authorities. The investigations focus on funds transfer activities
in certain accounts at The Bank of New York ("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 plead guilty to
various federal criminal charges. The Company cannot predict when or on what
basis the investigations will conclude or their effect, if any, on the
Company.

     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. The defendants have moved to dismiss
both actions in New York State Supreme Court on the ground that plaintiffs
have failed properly to make a demand on the boards of directors of the
Company or BNY, and that the boards must reject a proper demand before a
complaint can proceed. These motions are currently pending.

     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.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
--------------------------------------------------


     During the second quarter of 2000, shares of the Company's common stock
were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.  14,400 shares of common stock were
issued to serving non-employee directors as part of their annual retainer on
June 15, 2000.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
----------------------------------------------------------

     The Company held its annual meeting on May 9, 2000 at The Bank of New
York at 101 Barclay St. in New York, New York. The shareholders:

     (1)  elected fifteen persons to serve as directors of the Company;

     (2)  ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's
          independent public accountants for 2000;

     (3)  defeated a shareholder proposal regarding term limits for
          directors; and

     (4)  defeated a shareholder proposal regarding the Company's Rights Plan.

     The number of votes cast for, against or withheld, and the number of
abstentions with respect to each such matter is set forth below, as are the
number of broker non-votes, where applicable. Pursuant to New York law,
abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted toward the election of
directors.

Item 5.  Other Information
--------------------------

     In March 2000, the Federal Reserve Board published for public comment a
proposal to amend its regulatory capital guidelines to increase the amount of
consolidated regulatory capital required to be held by bank holding companies
with respect to certain equity and debt investments made by bank holding
companies, or their subsidiaries, in nonfinancial companies. The financial
impact of the proposal upon the Company cannot be determined until a final
rule is published. However, based upon its estimate of the impact of applying
the proposed rule to the Company's current investments covered by the proposed
rule, management anticipates that the Company's regulatory capital ratios will
remain in excess of the ratios required in order to be considered "well
capitalized".
