Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
  Results of Operations ("MD&A")
  ------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

     The Bank of New York Company, Inc.'s (the "Company") actual results of
future operations may differ from those estimated or anticipated in certain
forward-looking statements contained herein for reasons that are discussed
below and under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors That
Could Affect Future Results." When used in this report, the words "estimate,"
"forecast," "project," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan,"
"goal," "should," "may," "strategy," "target," and words of similar meaning are
intended to identify forward-looking statements in addition to statements
specifically identified as forward-looking statements. In addition, certain
business terms used in this document are defined in the Company's 2005 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

     The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (NYSE: BK) is a global leader in
providing a comprehensive array of services that enable institutions and
individuals to move and manage their financial assets in more than 100 markets
worldwide.  The Company has a long tradition of collaborating with clients to
deliver innovative solutions through its core competencies: institutional
services, private banking, and asset management.  The Company's extensive
global client base includes a broad range of leading financial institutions,
corporations, government entities, endowments, and foundations.  Its principal
subsidiary, The Bank of New York, founded in 1784, is the oldest bank in the
United States and has consistently played a prominent role in the evolution of
financial markets worldwide.

     The Company's strategy over the past decade has been to focus on highly
scalable, fee-based securities servicing and fiduciary businesses, and it has
achieved top three market share in most of its major product lines.  The
Company distinguishes itself competitively by offering one of the industry's
broadest arrays of products and services around the investment lifecycle.
These include:

*    advisory and asset management services to support the investment decision;
*    extensive trade execution, clearance and settlement capabilities;
*    custody, securities lending, accounting, and administrative services for
     investment portfolios;
*    sophisticated risk and performance measurement tools for analyzing
     portfolios; and
*    services for issuers of both equity and debt securities.

     By providing integrated solutions for clients' needs, the Company strives
to be the preferred partner in helping its clients succeed in the world's
rapidly evolving financial markets.

     The Company's key objectives include:

*    achieving positive operating leverage on an annual basis; and
*    sustaining top-line growth by expanding client relationships and winning
     new ones.

     To achieve its key objectives, the Company has grown both through internal
reinvestment as well as execution of strategic acquisitions to expand product
offerings and increase market share in its scale businesses.  Internal
reinvestment occurs through increased technology spending, staffing levels,
marketing/branding initiatives, quality programs, and product development.  The
Company consistently invests in technology to improve the breadth and quality
of its product offerings, and to increase economies of scale.  The Company has

 4

acquired over 90 businesses over the past ten years, almost exclusively in its
securities servicing and asset management areas.  The acquisition of Pershing
LLC ("Pershing") in 2003 for $2 billion was the largest of these acquisitions
completed to date.  The acquisition of the corporate trust business of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan Chase"), announced in April 2006, will also contribute
to the Company's ability to achieve its key objectives.  See "Other
Developments."

     As part of the transformation to a leading securities servicing provider,
the Company has also de-emphasized or exited several of its slower growth
traditional banking businesses over the past decade.  The Company's more
significant actions include selling its credit card business in 1997 and its
factoring business in 1999, significantly reducing non-financial corporate
credit exposures by 41% from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2005, and,
most recently, announcing an agreement to sell retail and regional middle
market businesses to JPMorgan Chase. To the extent these actions generated
capital, the capital has been reallocated to the Company's higher-growth
businesses.

     The Company's business model is well positioned to benefit from a number
of long-term secular trends.  These include:

*	growth of worldwide financial assets,
*	globalization of investment activity,
*	structural market changes, and
*	increased outsourcing.

     These trends benefit the Company by driving higher levels of financial
asset trading volume and other transactional activity, as well as higher asset
price levels and growth in client assets, all factors by which the Company
prices its services.  In addition, international markets offer excellent growth
opportunities.

FIRST QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS

     The Company reported first quarter net income of $422 million, compared
with $379 million in the year-ago quarter and diluted earnings per share of 55
cents, up 12% over the 49 cents earned in the first quarter of 2005.  In the
fourth quarter of 2005, earnings were $405 million and 53 cents.


     Additional highlights for the quarter include:

*    Positive operating leverage over year-ago and sequential periods.
*    Securities servicing fees up 11% versus the year-ago quarter.  The growth
     was led by strong performance in issuer services, broker-dealer services,
     and execution and clearing services.
*    Net interest income was up 7% over last year, reflecting growth in
     liquidity from the Company's core servicing businesses.
*    Foreign exchange and other trading revenues were up 20% from the year-ago
     quarter.
*    Private banking and asset management revenues were up 16% from the year-
     ago quarter reflecting both organic growth and the acquisition of
     Alcentra Group Limited and Urdang Capital Management.

     On April 8, 2006, the Company announced a definitive agreement with
JPMorgan Chase to acquire its corporate trust business, with JPMorgan Chase
acquiring the Company's retail and regional middle market banking businesses.
The transaction will strengthen the Company's leadership position in corporate
trust both in the U.S. and internationally, serving a combined client base with
$8 trillion in total debt outstanding in 20 countries.

     The increase in noninterest income versus the first quarter of 2005
reflects positive revenue trends in securities servicing, foreign exchange and
other trading, private banking and asset management, and other income.  On a
sequential-quarter basis, noninterest income primarily reflects increases in
foreign exchange and other trading, private banking and asset management, and
other income.

     Double-digit securities servicing fee growth over the first quarter of
2005 reflects strong performance within issuer services, broker-dealer
services, and execution and clearing services.  On a sequential-quarter basis,
fees were moderately higher, reflecting strong growth in execution and clearing
services, broker-dealer services and investor services, partially offset by
seasonally slower activity in issuer services.  See "Institutional Services
Segment" in "Business Segment Review" for additional details.

     Global payment services fees decreased from the first quarter of 2005 but
increased moderately on a sequential-quarter basis. The year-over-year decline
reflects customers choosing to pay with higher compensating balances, which
benefits net interest income. The sequential increase reflects growth from U.S.
financial institutions.  On an invoiced services basis, total revenue was up 6%
over the first quarter of 2005 and 1% sequentially.

     Private banking and asset management fees increased significantly from the
first quarter of 2005 and on a sequential-quarter basis primarily due to the

 6

acquisition of Alcentra Group Limited ("Alcentra") on January 3, 2006 and the
acquisition of Urdang Capital Management ("Urdang") on March 2, 2006, as well
as higher fees in private banking.  Total assets under management were $113
billion, up from $105 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005.

     Service charges and fees were down from the first quarter of 2005 and the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The year-over-year decline reflects lower underwriting
fees.  The sequential quarter decrease is due to lower syndication fees.

     Foreign exchange and other trading revenues were up significantly from the
first quarter of 2005 and on a sequential-quarter basis. Foreign exchange was
up from the first quarter of 2005 and sequentially due to higher volumes fueled
by cross-border investment, particularly in emerging markets. On a year-over-
year basis, other trading decreased slightly reflecting a decline in interest
rate derivative activity and lower trading revenues at Pershing. On a
sequential-quarter basis, other trading increased primarily as a result of
improved performance in fixed income trading.

     Securities gains in the first quarter increased $5 million from the year-
ago quarter and decreased slightly on a sequential-quarter basis. The gains in
the quarter were primarily attributable to the Company's sponsor fund
portfolio.

     Other noninterest income is attributable to asset-related gains, equity
investments, and other transactions.  Asset-related gains include gains on
lease residuals, as well as loan and real estate dispositions.  Equity
investment income primarily reflects the Company's proportionate share of the
income from its investment in Wing Hang Bank Limited, AIB/BNY Securities
Services (Ireland) Limited, and RBSI Securities Services (Holdings) Limited.
Other income primarily includes income or loss from insurance contracts, low
income housing and other investments as well as various miscellaneous
revenues.  The breakdown among these three categories is shown below:

     Other noninterest income increased versus the first quarter of 2005 and
the fourth quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, asset-related gains
included a pre-tax gain of $31 million related to the conversion of the
Company's New York Stock Exchange seats into cash and shares of NYSE.  Asset-
related gains in the fourth quarter of 2005 included the sale of a building for
a $10 million pre-tax gain and four New York Stock Exchange seats for a $6
million pre-tax gain.

     During the first quarter of 2006, the higher than anticipated gain on the
NYSE seats was partially offset by several items, affecting both revenues and
expenses of the Company including: the impact of the loss of a major Pershing
customer ($6 million) for which the Company is pursuing a termination fee; a
final adjustment to the Company's reserve position with the Federal Reserve
Bank ($6 million); and severance tied to relocation initiatives ($6 million).

*  A number of amounts related to net interest income are presented on a
   "tax equivalent basis" for better comparability. To calculate the
   tax equivalent revenues and profit or loss, the Company adjusts
   tax-exempt revenues and the income or loss from such tax-
   exempt revenues to show these items as if they were taxable,
   applying an assumed tax rate of 35 percent. The Company believes that
   this presentation provides comparability of net interest income
   arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is
   consistent with industry standards.

       Net interest income increased on a year-over-year quarterly basis
reflecting higher earning assets and the higher value of interest-free balances
in a rising rate environment.  Average earning assets increased to $84.5
billion in the first quarter of 2006 from $79.5 billion in last year's first
quarter. Net interest income decreased on a sequential-quarter basis reflecting
a decline in interest earning assets, the loss of a major Pershing customer,
the funding of Alcentra and Urdang acquisitions, and fewer days in the
quarter.  The first quarter of 2006 included a $6 million impact of a
cumulative adjustment in the Company's reserve position with the Federal
Reserve Bank, which concludes this matter, while the fourth quarter of 2005
reflected $8 million related to this item.

     The net interest income rate spread was 1.73% in the first quarter of
2006, compared with 1.94% in the first quarter of 2005 and 1.71% in the fourth
quarter of 2005. The net yield on interest earning assets was 2.35% in the
first quarter of 2006, compared with 2.36% in the first quarter of 2005 and
2.35% in the fourth quarter of 2005.

     Noninterest expense increased compared with the first quarter of 2005 and
the fourth quarter of 2005.  The increase versus the year-ago quarter reflects
increased staffing costs associated with new business and acquisitions, as well
as higher pension expenses. Occupancy increased reflecting acquisitions and
higher business continuity expenses.

     Relative to the year-ago quarter, salaries rose 6% as tight headcount
control and reengineering and relocation projects offset the impact of growth
related to business wins, and acquisitions, as well as the impact of severance
and additional legal and compliance personnel. Severance expense, which was
largely related to relocation initiatives, was $6 million in the first quarter
of 2006. Benefit expense increased due to higher pension and medical costs, as
well as higher incentives tied to growth in revenues.  Salaries and employee
benefits expense for the first quarter increased on a sequential-quarter basis,
reflecting higher seasonal social security expense, higher pension expenses
reflecting the new 2006 assumptions, and increased expenses associated with
acquisitions.  During the quarter, headcount increased by 49 people reflecting
additions related to Alcentra and Urdang.

     Occupancy expenses were up on a year-over-year quarter basis reflecting
the costs associated with the Company's new out-of-region data center in the
mid-south region of the U.S. and the growth center in Manchester, England.  On
a sequential-quarter basis, occupancy expenses were up 5%, primarily
reflecting acquisitions.

     Clearing and sub-custodian expenses, which are tied to transaction
volumes, were up $10 million, or 14%, sequentially on a combined basis to $84
million. Sub-custodian expenses increased on a year-over-year basis and on a
sequential-quarter basis reflecting higher level of business activity.

     The increase in software expense versus a year ago reflects spending and
development to support business growth.

     Other noninterest expense is attributable to vendor services, business
development, legal expenses, settlements and claims, and other. Vendor services
include professional fees, computer services, market data, courier, and other
services.  Business development includes advertising, charitable contributions,
travel, and entertainment expenses.  The breakdown among these four categories
is shown below:

     Other expenses were higher compared with the first quarter of 2005
reflecting higher costs for advertising and travel and entertainment in
business development, as well as other expenses associated with business
growth.  On a sequential-quarter basis, the decline in vendor services was due
to lower Depository Trust Company and consulting expenses. The sequential
decrease in business development primarily reflects seasonally lower travel
and entertainment expenses.

     The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2006 was 33.7%, compared
to 33.1% in the first quarter of 2005 and 33.3% in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The increases primarily reflect lower expected Section 29 tax credits.

                               =======   =======   =======

     The provision was $5 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to a
credit to the provision of $10 million in the first quarter of 2005 and a
provision of $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The sequential decline
in the provision reflects a decline in charge-offs and a decline in
nonperforming loans.

     The total allowance for credit losses was $566 million at March 31, 2006,
$716 million at March 31, 2005 and $565 million at December 31, 2005.  The
total allowance for credit losses as a percent of non-margin loans was 1.63% at
March 31, 2006, compared with 2.19% at March 31, 2005 and 1.63% at December 31,
2005.

     Net charge-offs were $4 million in the first quarter of 2006 versus $10
million in the first quarter of 2005 and $151 million in the fourth quarter of
2005.  These represent 0.04% of total loans in the most recent quarter,
compared with 0.10% in the quarter-ended March 31, 2005 and 1.48% in the
quarter-ended December 31, 2005.  During the fourth quarter of 2005, the
Company charged-off $140 million of leases with two domestic bankrupt airline
customers.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW

Segment Data

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

Business Segments Accounting Principles

     The Company's segment data has been determined on an internal management
basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles
used for consolidated financial reporting.  These measurement principles are
designed so that reported results of the segments will track their economic
performance.  Segment results are subject to restatement whenever improvements
are made in the measurement principles or when organizational changes are
made.

     In 2005, the Company determined that it is appropriate to modify its
segment presentation in order to provide more transparency into its results of
operations and to better reflect modifications in the management structure that
the Company implemented during the fourth quarter of 2005.  As such, the
Company identified four major business segments for assessing its overall
performance, with the Institutional Services Segment being further subdivided
into four business groupings.  These segments are shown below:

*    Institutional Services Segment
        o    Investor & Broker-Dealer Services Business
        o    Execution & Clearing Services Business
        o    Issuer Services Business
        o    Treasury Services Business
*    Private Bank & BNY Asset Management Segment
*    Retail & Middle Market Banking Segment
*    Corporate and Other Segment

     All prior periods have been restated to reflect this realignment.  Other
specific accounting principles employed include:

*    The measure of revenues and profit or loss by a segment has been adjusted
     to present segment data on a tax equivalent basis.
*    The provision for credit losses allocated to each 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 size of
     the credit 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.
*    Balance sheet assets and liabilities and their related income or expense
     are specifically assigned to each segment.
*    Net interest income is allocated to segments based on the yields on the
     assets and liabilities generated by each segment.  Assets and liabilities
     generated by credit-related activities are allocated to businesses based
     on borrower usage of those businesses' products or services. Credit-only
     relationships and borrowers using both credit and payment services remain
     in Treasury Services.  Segments with a net liability position are
     allocated assets primarily from the securities portfolio.
*    Revenues and expenses associated with specific client bases are included
     in those segments.  For example, foreign exchange activity associated
     with clients using custody products is allocated to Investor & Broker-
     Dealer services business (which includes the Company's custody
     operations.)
*    Noninterest income associated with Treasury-related services (global
     payment services for corporate customers, as well as lending and credit-

 11

     related services) is similarly allocated back to the other Institutional
     Services businesses.
*    Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to segments based on
     internally-developed methodologies.

the credit provision over a credit cycle for the other three reportable
segments and the Company's recorded provision. The Company's approach to
acquisitions is highly centralized and controlled by senior management.
Accordingly, the resulting goodwill and other intangible assets are included in
this segment's assets. Noninterest expense includes the related amortization.
Noninterest income primarily reflects leasing, securities gains, and income
from the sale of other corporate assets. Noninterest expenses include direct
expenses supporting the leasing activities as well as certain corporate
overhead not directly attributable to the operations of the other segments.

     The Company's Institutional Services business is conducted in four
business groupings: Investor & Broker-Dealer Services, Execution & Clearing
Services, Issuer Services, and Treasury Services. Income before taxes was up
19% to $516 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $432 million in the
first quarter of 2005, and up 4% from $498 million in the fourth quarter of
2005.

     Equity volumes and pricing levels were up during the most recent quarter,
and cross-border activity levels were strong. As a result, the Company's
equity-linked businesses performed well.  Execution and clearing and depositary
receipts businesses both showed good year-over-year growth.  The fixed income
markets were stable, and as a result the Company's securities lending, broker-
dealer services and institutional trust businesses all improved on a year-over-
year basis. Other areas demonstrating strong growth include foreign exchange
and alternative investment servicing.

quarter, with average daily price levels up 4% from the fourth quarter of
2005.  Performance for the NASDAQ (registered trademark) Index was up 6%

sequential-quarter basis, combined NYSE and NASDAQ (registered trademark)
non-program trading volumes were up an estimated 13%.  Average fixed-income
trading volume was up 5% sequentially.

     As of March 31, 2006, assets under custody rose to $11.3 trillion, from
$9.9 trillion at March 31, 2005 and $10.9 trillion at December 31, 2005.  The
increase in assets under custody relative to both time periods primarily
reflects rising equity prices and new business wins.  Equity securities
comprised 33% of the assets under custody at March 31, 2006 compared with 32%
at December 31, 2005, while fixed income securities were 67% compared with
68% at December 31, 2005.  Assets under custody in the first quarter
consisted of assets related to the custody and mutual funds businesses of
$7.6 trillion, broker-dealer services assets of $2.3 trillion, and all
other assets of $1.4 trillion.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Investor &
Broker-Dealer Services business increased to $199 million from $185 million in
the first quarter of 2005 and $190 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The
year-over-year increase reflects improvements in net interest income and
noninterest income. The sequential quarter increase reflects higher noninterest
income.

     Noninterest income was $491 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $441 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $469 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  The increase in noninterest income in the first quarter of
2006 relative to both time periods is attributable to an increase in both
investor and broker-dealer service fees as well as foreign exchange and other
trading revenue generated by clients in this segment.

     Investor services fees increased compared with a year ago and the fourth
quarter of 2005.  The year-over-year and sequential increases reflect strong
performance in securities lending and alternative asset servicing as well as
higher custody fees.  Securities lending fees showed good growth in the first
quarter benefiting from higher loan volumes, driven by new business wins as
well as a favorable spread environment.  Offsetting this strong performance
were revenue losses due to mutual fund clients that transferred to another
provider during late 2005.

     Broker-dealer services fees increased compared with a year ago and the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The increases reflect greater domestic and global
collateral management fees due to strong growth in cross-border activity
between the U.S. and Europe and higher values in global markets.  The Company
now handles approximately $1.2 trillion of financing for the Company's broker-
dealer clients daily through tri-party collateralized financing agreements, up
approximately 20% from a year ago.

    Net interest income in the Investor & Broker-Dealer Services business was
$149 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $139 million in the
first quarter of 2005 and $148 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  On a
year-over-year basis, net interest income growth in the first quarter reflects
increased deposit flows from customers in both businesses and higher rates.
Average deposits generated by the Investor & Broker-Dealer Services business
were $31.4 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $27.5 billion in
the first quarter of 2005 and $30.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Average assets in the business were $38.2 billion in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $36.4 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $38.1 billion in
the fourth quarter of 2005.

     Noninterest expense was $438 million in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $393 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $425 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The year-over-year increase in noninterest expense was
due to higher costs tied to increased activity levels, as well as the upfront

 16

expenses associated with the implementation of cost reduction initiatives and
higher pension and occupancy expense. The sequential rise in noninterest
expense in the first quarter was attributable primarily to higher salaries,
benefits and sub-custody expenses, seasonal increases in social security
expenses, increased technology costs, and higher pension expenses.

     Net charge-offs were $1 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with zero in the first quarter of 2005 and in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Nonperforming assets were $6 million at March 31, 2006, compared with $25
million at March 31, 2005, and $5 million at December 31, 2005.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Execution &
Clearing Services Business increased to $154 million from $82 million a year
ago and $116 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase over the first
quarter of 2005 reflects a $31 million gain on the New York Stock Exchange
seats, incremental revenues and earnings contribution from Lynch, Jones & Ryan,
Inc. ("LJR"), an execution-services business that the Company acquired in July
2005, strong growth in net interest income, and higher fees at Pershing for
value-added services.  The sequential quarter increase reflects the same
factors as the year-over-year increase except for LJR and net interest income
growth was not as strong.

     Noninterest income was $390 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $317 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $351 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

     Execution services fees were up reflecting the LJR acquisition, strong
market conditions, and higher cross-border trading volumes.

     Pershing's first quarter 2006 servicing fees were also up, reflecting
organic growth from value-added services such as providing access to research,
market data and mutual fund investments, as well as strong market conditions,
partially offset by the loss of a significant customer. The loss of this
customer resulted in a decrease of over $6 million in Pershing's revenues,
mainly interest, commissions and trading revenues. Excluding the impact of the
loss of this client, Pershing's commissions were up 12% sequentially. The
Company expects the impact of the customer loss to be greater in the second
quarter. Pershing currently is in discussions seeking compensation for the
termination of the relationship.

     Net interest income in the Execution & Clearing Services business was $61
million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $45 million in the first
quarter of 2005 and $59 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Net interest
income growth in the first quarter of 2006 versus the first quarter of 2005
reflects the benefit of rising interest rates on spreads at Pershing, partially
offset by the loss of the customer discussed above.  The increase over the
fourth quarter of 2005 also reflects the benefit of rising rates.  Average
assets in the business were $15.0 billion in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $14.2 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $14.5 billion in
the fourth quarter of 2005. Average payables to customers and broker-dealers

 17

were $5.2 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $6.4 billion in
the first quarter of 2005 and $6.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005. The
decrease in first quarter balances reflects the previously mentioned loss of a
significant customer.

     Noninterest expense was $297 million in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $280 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $293 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The increase in noninterest expense on a year-over-
year basis was due to stronger business activity, higher technology expenses
and the additional expenses of LJR.  The rise in noninterest expense
sequentially was attributable to higher salaries, benefits and technology costs
tied to higher overall business activity.

      Net charge-offs were a recovery of $2 million in the first quarter of
2006, zero in the first quarter of 2005 and $1 million in the fourth quarter of
2005, respectively. Nonperforming assets were zero at March 31, 2006, compared
with $2 million at March 31, 2005 and zero at December 31, 2005.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Issuer Services
Business increased to $120 million from $105 million in the first quarter of
2005 and decreased from $146 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The year-
over-year increase in the first quarter reflects growth in net interest income
and higher corporate trust and depositary receipt fees.  The sequential quarter
decline reflects seasonally lower depositary receipt fees as well as an
increase in sub-custodian expense.

     Noninterest income was $179 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $167 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $199 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  Year-over-year, the double-digit growth in issuer services
fees reflects strong performance in structured and global trust products as
well as higher transactional activity in depositary receipts.  The sequential
decrease is primarily due to seasonally lower dividend-related activity in
depositary receipts as well as the strong fourth quarter performance by
Corporate Trust in structured products.

    Net interest income in the Issuer Services business was $67 million in the
first quarter of 2006, compared with $53 million in the first quarter of 2005
and $66 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The increase in net interest
income year-over-year was driven primarily by the increase in interest rates
and higher average assets.  Average deposits generated by the Issuer Services
business were $8.3 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $7.5
billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $7.9 billion in the fourth quarter of
2005 reflecting increased liquidity from the Company's issuer services
customers.  Average assets in the business were $14.6 billion in the first
quarter of 2006, compared with $13.3 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and
$14.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.

     Noninterest expense was $122 million in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $112 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $117 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The rise in noninterest expense year-over-year and

 18

sequentially was attributable to increased client activity as well as higher
sub-custodian and pension expenses.

     Net charge-offs were $1 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with zero in the first quarter of 2005 and in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Nonperforming assets were $6 million at March 31, 2006, compared with $27
million at March 31, 2005 and $5 million at December 31, 2005.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Treasury Services
Business was $43 million, compared with $60 million in the first quarter of
2005 and $46 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The lower income versus a
year ago reflects both the Company's overall strategy to reduce corporate
credit risk, as well as higher asset-related gains in the year-ago quarter.

     The decrease in noninterest income to $63 million in the current period
from $76 million in the first quarter of 2005 was due to a decline in asset-
related gains, lower underwriting fees from clients in this segment and lower
global payments fees as more clients used compensating balances to pay for
services.  The sequential quarter increase in noninterest income reflects
higher foreign exchange related income partially offset by lower syndication
fees.

     Net interest income was $38 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $43 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $41 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  On a year-over-year basis, the decrease reflects lower credit
spreads due to the higher asset quality of the portfolio.  Average assets for
the first quarter of 2006 were $11.3 billion, compared with $9.9 billion in the
first quarter of 2005 and $11.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Average
deposits were $9.0 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $7.4
billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $9.1 billion in the fourth quarter of
2005.

     The provision for credit losses, which is assessed on a long-term credit
cycle basis (see "Business Segments Accounting Principles"), was $9 million in
the first quarter of 2006, compared with $11 million in the first quarter of
2005 and $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The year-over-year decrease
reflects improved credit quality.

     Net charge-offs in the Treasury Services business were $1 million, zero,
and $2 million in the first quarter of 2006, the first quarter of 2005, and the
fourth quarter of 2005, respectively. Nonperforming assets were $21 million at
March 31, 2006, compared with $83 million at March 31, 2005 and $16 million at
December 31, 2005.

     Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2006 was $49 million, compared
to $48 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $46 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  The increase in noninterest expense year-over-year was due in
part to higher compensation and pension expenses.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Private Bank &
BNY Asset Management Segment was $57 million, compared with $49 million in the
first quarter of 2005 and $51 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The
improvement over the prior periods is attributable to the acquisitions of
Alcentra and Urdang as well as higher fee levels in Private Banking.

     Noninterest income was $127 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $111 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $117 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  Private Bank & BNY Asset Management revenues in the first
quarter of 2006 were up sequentially and year-over-year.  The growth reflects
the acquisitions of Alcentra and Urdang as well as mid-single digit year-over-
year organic growth.  The S&P 500 (registered trademark) Index was up 4% for
the quarter, with average daily price levels up 4% from December 31, 2005.
Performance for the NASDAQ (registered trademark) Index was up 6% for the
quarter, with average daily prices up by 5%.  Sequential quarter performance
reflects the same factors that drove year-over-year performance.

     Assets under management ("AUM") were $113 billion at March 31, 2006,
compared with $105 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005. The year-
over-year and sequential quarter increases in AUM primarily reflect the
acquisitions of Alcentra and Urdang.  Institutional clients represent 72% of
AUM while individual clients equal 28%.  At March 31, 2006, such assets were
invested 33% in equities, 18% in fixed income, and 23% in alternative
investments, with the remaining amount invested in liquid assets.

     Net interest income in the Private Bank & BNY Asset Management Segment was
$17 million in the first quarter of 2006, flat in comparison to the first
quarter of 2005 and the fourth quarter of 2005.  Average deposits generated by
the Private Bank & BNY Asset Management Segment were $1.7 billion in first
quarter of 2006, compared with $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and
$1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Average assets in the segment were
$2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $2.1 billion in the
first quarter of 2005 and $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.

     Noninterest expense was $87 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $78 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $83 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  Relative to a year ago, the increase reflects the
acquisitions of Alcentra and Urdang as well as higher compensation, technology,

 20

and legal staffing costs.  The increase in noninterest expense on a sequential
basis was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Alcentra and Urdang.

     Net charge-offs were zero in the first quarter of 2006, the first quarter
of 2005, and the fourth quarter of 2005, respectively.  Nonperforming assets
were $1 million at March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005.

     In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes was $91 million,
compared with $85 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $98 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.

     Net interest income in the Retail & Middle Market Banking Segment was $163
million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $159 million in the first
quarter of 2005 and $166 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Net interest
income growth on a year-over-year basis reflects the benefit of widening
interest-rate spreads, growth in loans, and small business customers'
increasing use of compensating balances to pay for services. The sequential
decline in net interest income reflects a narrowing of the spread on loans and
lower demand deposits.

     Average deposits generated by the Retail & Middle Market Banking Segment
were $15.1 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $16.3 billion in
the first quarter of 2005 and $15.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $5.3 billion in the first quarter of
2006, compared with $5.8 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $5.3 billion
in the fourth quarter of 2005.  Average assets in the Retail & Middle Market
Banking Segment were $14.5 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with
$13.6 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $14.4 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

     Noninterest income was $69 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $58 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $69 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.  The growth on a year-over-year basis reflects higher asset-
related gains.

     Noninterest expense was $135 million in the first quarter of 2006,
compared with $125 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $130 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The rise in noninterest expense year-over-year and
sequentially was primarily attributable to higher salary, pension, marketing,
and occupancy expenses.

     Net charge-offs were $7 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $10 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $8 million in the fourth

      In the first quarter of 2006, income before taxes in the Corporate and
Other Segment was a loss of $27 million, compared with zero in the first
quarter of 2005 and a loss of $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

      Net interest income in the Corporate and Other Segment was a loss of $7
million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with a loss of $1 million in the
first quarter of 2005 and a loss of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The decrease in net interest income over the first quarter of 2005 reflects the
impact of a $6 million cumulative adjustment in the Company's reserve position
with the Federal Reserve Bank.

     Noninterest income was $13 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared
with $8 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005. The increase in noninterest income in the first quarter of
2006 over the first quarter of 2005 is attributable to higher securities gains.
Securities gains were $17 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with
$12 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $18 million in the fourth quarter
of 2005.  The increase in noninterest income of $5 million on a sequential
quarter basis reflects higher other investment income.

      Provision for credit losses was a credit of $17 million in the first
quarter of 2006, compared with a $34 million credit in the first quarter of
2005 and a $11 million credit in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The provision for
credit losses reflects the difference between the aggregate of the credit
provision over a credit cycle assigned to the other segments and the Company's
recorded provision.  As such, the favorable credit environment has currently
resulted in the business segments absorbing more than the Company's aggregate
reported credit provision.

      Noninterest expense, largely reflecting unallocated corporate overhead,
amortization of goodwill, and nonrecurring items, was $50 million in the first
quarter of 2006, compared with $41 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $54
million in the fourth quarter of 2005.  The year-over-year growth includes
higher intangible amortization.  The decrease in noninterest expense on a
sequential basis was due to lower corporate overhead.

     Net charge-offs were a recovery of $4 million in the first quarter of
2006, compared with zero in the first quarter of 2005 and $140 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005.  The charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2005 were
attributable to the Company's airline leasing portfolio.  Nonperforming assets
were $4 million at March 31, 2006, compared with $6 million at March 31, 2005,
and $18 million at December 31, 2005.

     Other items - Acquisitions are the responsibility of corporate
management.  Accordingly, goodwill and the funding cost of goodwill are
assigned to the Corporate and Other Segment. If the funding cost of goodwill
were allocated to the other three segments, it would be assigned on the basis
of the goodwill attributable to each segment.

     The tax equivalent adjustment is eliminated in the Corporate and Other
Segment.  Certain revenue and expense items have been driven by corporate
decisions and have been included in the Corporate and Other Segment.  In the
first quarter of 2006 and fourth quarter of 2005, these included the impact of
the $6 million and $8 million cumulative adjustment in the Company's reserve
position with the Federal Reserve Bank.  Alternatively, this item could be
allocated to the Institutional Services Segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Company's significant accounting policies are described in the "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements" under "Summary of Significant Accounting
and Reporting Policies" in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Four
of the Company's more critical accounting policies are those related to the
allowance for credit losses, the valuation of derivatives and securities where
quoted market prices are not available, goodwill and other intangibles, and
pension accounting.

Allowance for Credit Losses
---------------------------

     The allowance for credit losses and allowance for lending-related
commitments consist of four elements: (1) an allowance for impaired credits;
(2) an allowance for higher risk rated loans and exposures; (3) an allowance
for pass rated loans and exposures; and (4) an unallocated allowance based on
general economic conditions and certain risk factors in the Company's
individual portfolio and markets.  Further discussion on the four elements can
be found under "Consolidated Balance Sheet Review" in the MD&A section.

     The allowance for credit losses represents management's estimate of
probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio.  This evaluation
process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments.  Probability of default
ratings are assigned after analyzing the credit quality of each
borrower/counterparty and the Company's internal rating are generally
consistent with external ratings agency's default databases.  Loss given
default ratings are driven by the collateral, structure, and seniority of each
individual asset and are consistent with external loss given default/recovery
databases.  The portion of the allowance related to impaired credits is based
on the present value of future cash flows.  Changes in the estimates of
probability of default, risk ratings, loss given default/recovery rates, and
cash flows could have a direct impact on the allocated allowance for loan
losses.

     To the extent actual results differ from forecasts or management's
judgment, the allowance for credit losses may be greater or less than future
charge-offs.

     The Company considers it difficult to quantify the impact of changes in
forecast on its allowance for credit losses.  Nevertheless, the Company
believes the following discussion may enable investors to better understand the
variables that drive the allowance for credit losses.

     A key variable in determining the allowance is management's judgment in
determining the size of the unallocated allowance.  At March 31, 2006, the
unallocated allowance was 18% of the total allowance.  If the unallocated
allowance were five percent higher or lower, the allowance would have increased
or decreased by $28 million, respectively.

     The credit rating assigned to each credit is another significant variable
in determining the allowance.  If each credit were rated one grade better, the
allowance would have decreased by $91 million, while if each credit were rated
one grade worse, the allowance would have increased by $147 million.

     Similarly, if the loss given default were one rating worse, the allowance
would have increased by $61 million, while if the loss given default were one
rating better, the allowance would have decreased by $51 million.

     For impaired credits, if the fair value of the loans were 10% higher or
lower, the allowance would have decreased or increased by $3 million,
respectively.

 25

Valuation of Derivatives and Securities Where Quoted Market Prices Are Not
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Available
 ---------

     When quoted market prices are not available for derivatives and securities
values, such values are determined at fair value, which is defined as the value
at which positions could be closed out or sold in a transaction with a willing
counterparty over a period of time consistent with the Company's trading or
investment strategy.  Fair value for these instruments is determined based on
discounted cash flow analysis, comparison to similar instruments, and the use
of financial models.  Financial models use as their basis independently sourced
market parameters including, for example, interest rate yield curves, option
volatilities, and currency rates.  Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent
upon estimated future cash flows and the level of interest rates.  Model-based
pricing uses inputs of observable prices for interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, option volatilities and other factors.  Models are benchmarked and
validated by independent parties.  The Company's valuation process takes into
consideration factors such as counterparty credit quality, liquidity and
concentration concerns.  The Company applies judgment in the application of
these factors.  In addition, the Company must apply judgment when no external
parameters exist.  Finally, other factors can affect the Company's estimate of
fair value including market dislocations, incorrect model assumptions, and
unexpected correlations.

     These valuation methods could expose the Company to materially different
results should the models used or underlying assumptions be inaccurate.  See
"Use of Estimates" in "Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting
Policies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in the Company's
2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     To assist in assessing the impact of a change in valuation, at March 31,
2006, approximately $2.3 billion of the Company's portfolio of securities and
derivatives is not priced based on quoted market prices because no such quoted
market prices are available.  A change of 2.5% in the valuation of these
securities and derivatives would result in a change in pre-tax income of $58
million.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles
------------------------------

     The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase
acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and other
intangibles, at fair value as required by FASB Statement No. 141 ("SFAS 141"),
"Business Combination". Goodwill ($3,848 million at March 31, 2006) and
indefinite-lived intangible assets ($378 million at March 31, 2006) are not
amortized but are subject to annual tests for impairment or more often if
events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired.  Other intangible assets
are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment
if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the
carrying amount.  The initial recording of goodwill and other intangibles
requires subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of
acquired assets.  The goodwill impairment test is performed in two phases.  The
first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the
reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value
of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting
unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional procedure must be
performed.  That additional procedure compares the implied fair value of the
reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  An
impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill
exceeds its implied fair value.  Indefinite-lived intangible assets are
evaluated for impairment at least annually by comparing their fair value to
their carrying value.

     Other identifiable intangible assets ($518 million at March 31, 2006) are
evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible
impairment.  Such evaluation of other intangible assets is based on
undiscounted cash flow projections.  Fair value may be determined using: market

 26

prices, comparison to similar assets, market multiples, discounted cash flow
analysis and other determinates.  Estimated cash flows may extend far into the
future and, by their nature, are difficult to determine over an extended
timeframe.  Factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among
others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in
revenue growth trends, cost structures and technology, and changes in discount
rates and specific industry or market sector conditions.  Other key judgments
in accounting for intangibles include useful life and classification between
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles or other intangibles that require
amortization.  See Note "Goodwill and Intangibles" in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding intangible assets.

     The following discussion may assist investors in assessing the impact of a
goodwill or intangible asset impairment charge.  The Company has $4.7 billion
of goodwill and intangible assets at March 31, 2006.  The impact of a 5%
impairment charge would result in a change of pre-tax income of approximately
$237 million.

Pension Accounting
------------------

     The Company has defined benefit plans covering approximately 13,900 U.S.
employees and approximately 3,175 non-US employees at September 30, 2005.

     The Company has three defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and six
overseas.  The U.S. plans account for 82% of the projected benefit obligation.
Pension expense was $26 million in 2005 while there were pension credits in
2004 and 2003 of $24 million and $39 million.  In addition to its pension
plans, the Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which may
provide additional benefits to certain employees.  Upon retirement, covered
employees are entitled to the higher of their benefit under the ESOP or the
defined benefit plan.  If the benefit is higher under the defined benefit plan,
the employees' ESOP account is contributed to the pension plan.

     A number of key assumption and measurement date values determine pension
expense.  The key elements include the long-term rate of return on plan assets,
the discount rate, the market-related value of plan assets, and for the primary
U.S. plan the price used to value stock in the ESOP.  Since 2003, these key
elements have varied as follows:

                                           2006      2005      2004      2003

    Reporting Policies" in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
    in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The discount rate for U.S. pension plans was determined after reviewing a
number of high quality long-term bond indices whose yields were adjusted to
match the duration of the Company's pension liability.  The Company also
reviewed the results of several models that matched bonds to the Company's
pension cash flows.  The various indices and models produced discount rates
ranging from 5.68% to 6.2%.  After reviewing the various indices and models,
the Company selected a discount rate of 5.875%.  The discount rates for foreign

 27

pension plans are based on high quality corporate bonds rates in countries that
have an active corporate bond market.  In those countries with no active
corporate bond market, discount rates are based on local government bond rates
plus a credit spread.

     The Company's expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on
anticipated returns for each asset class.  At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the
assumptions for the long-term rates of return on plan assets were 7.88% and
8.25%, respectively.  Anticipated returns are weighted for the target
allocation for each asset class.  Anticipated returns are based on forecasts
for prospective returns in the equity and fixed income markets, which should
track the long-term historical returns for these markets.  The Company also
considers the growth outlook for U.S. and global economies, as well as current
and prospective interest rates.

     The market-related value of plan assets also influences the level of
pension expense. Differences between expected and actual returns are recognized
over five years to compute an actuarially derived market-related value of plan
assets.  In 2005, the market-related value of plan assets declined as the
extraordinary actual return in 2000 was replaced with a more modest return.

     Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the future
service period (11 years) of active employees if they exceed a threshold
amount.  The Company currently has unrecognized losses which are being
amortized.

     For 2005, U.S. pension expense increased by $48 million reflecting changes
in assumptions, the amortization of unrecognized pension losses and a decline
in the market-related value of plan assets.  These same factors are expected to
further increase pension expense in 2006.  To reduce the impact of these
factors, the Company changed certain of its domestic defined benefit pension
plans during the third quarter of 2005.  The primary change was to switch the
computation of the benefits from final average pay to career average pay
effective January 1, 2006.  As a result U.S. pension expense is expected to
increase by approximately $21 million.

       The annual impacts on the primary U.S. plan of hypothetical changes in
the key elements on the pension expense are shown in the tables below.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

     Total assets were $103.6 billion at March 31, 2006, compared with $96.5
billion at March 31, 2005 and $102.1 billion at December 31, 2005.  The
increase in assets from December 31, 2005 reflects increase in short-term high
quality assets such as federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale
agreements, and trading assets.  Total shareholders' equity was $10.1 billion
at March 31, 2006, compared with $9.3 billion at March 31, 2005 and $9.9
billion at December 31, 2005.  The increase in shareholders' equity from
December 31, 2005, reflects the retention of earnings.

     Return on average common equity for the first quarter of 2006 was 17.31%,
compared with 16.52% in the first quarter of 2005 and 16.57% in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

     Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2006 was 1.61%, compared
with 1.55% in the first quarter of 2005 and 1.53% in the fourth quarter of
2005.

                                                       ==========   ==========

     Total investment securities were $27.2 billion at March 31, 2006, compared
with $27.3 billion at December 31, 2005.  Average investment securities were
$27.1 billion in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $23.5 billion in the
first quarter of last year and $26.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005.
The increases were primarily due to growth in the Company's portfolio of highly
rated mortgage-backed securities, which are 89% rated AAA, 8% AA, and 3% A.
The Company has been adding either adjustable or short life classes of
structured mortgage-backed securities, both of which have short durations.  The
effective duration of the Company's mortgage portfolio at March 31, 2006 was
approximately 2.0 years.

     Net unrealized losses for securities available-for-sale was $195 million
at March 31, 2006, compared with net unrealized losses of $108 million at
December 31, 2005.  The change in the value of available-for-sale securities at
March 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005 reflects the increase in long-term
interest rates over the quarter.  The asymmetrical accounting treatment of the
impact of a change in interest rates on the Company's balance sheet may create
a situation in which an increase in interest rates can adversely affect
reported equity and regulatory capital, even though economically there may be

 29

no impact on the economic capital position of the Company.  For example, an
increase in rates will result in a decline in the value of the fixed rate
portion of the Company's fixed income investment portfolio, which will be
reflected through a reduction in other comprehensive income in the Company's
shareholders' equity, thereby affecting the tangible common equity ("TCE")
ratio.  Under current accounting rules, there is no corresponding change in
value of the Company's fixed rate liabilities, even though economically these
liabilities are more valuable as rates rise.

     Total loans were $40.1 billion at March 31, 2006 compared with $40.7
billion at December 31, 2005.  The decrease in total loans from December 31,
2005 primarily reflects a decrease in margin loans reflecting the loss of a
significant customer at Pershing.  Average total loans were $39.6 billion in
the first quarter of 2006, compared with $38.8 billion in the first quarter of
2005. The increase in average loans from March 31, 2005 results from increased
lending to financial institutions.

Financial Institutions
----------------------

     The financial institutions portfolio exposure was $37.8 billion at March
31, 2006 compared to $35.5 billion at December 31, 2005. The increase in
exposure from year-end 2005 reflects greater activity in the capital markets in
the first quarter of 2006, which drove increased demands for credit from
financial institutions.   These exposures are of high quality with 85% meeting
the investment grade criteria of the Company's rating system.  These exposures
are generally short-term, with 75% expiring within one year and are frequently
secured.  For example, mortgage banking, securities industry, and investment
managers often borrow against marketable securities held in custody at the
Company.  The diversity of the portfolio is shown in the accompanying table.

* During the third quarter of 2005, the Company eliminated the Automotive division and
transferred the customers to the other geographic lending divisions. The amounts in the
table were reconstructed for analytical purposes.

** Diversified portfolio of industries and geographies



     Included in the Company's corporate exposures are automotive and airline
exposures.  The Company continues to seek to selectively reduce automotive
exposures given ongoing weakness in the domestic automotive industry.  Total
exposures reported in the Automotive Division were down $43 million at March
31, 2006 compared with December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006, this broadly
defined industry portfolio consists of exposures of $184 million to Big Three
automotive manufacturing, $191 million to finance subsidiaries, $453 million
to highly rated asset-backed securitization vehicles, $289 million to
suppliers, and $141 million of other.

     The Company's exposure to the airline industry consists of a $325 million
leasing portfolio (including a $16 million real estate lease exposure). The
airline-leasing portfolio consists of $129 million to major U.S. carriers, $134
million to foreign airlines and $62 million to U.S. regionals.

     During the first quarter of 2006, the airline industry continued to face
liquidity issues driven by persistently high fuel prices and the inability to
implement meaningful fare increases.  The industry's considerable excess
capacity and higher oil prices continue to negatively impact the valuations of
aircraft, especially the less fuel-efficient models, in the secondary market.
Because of these factors, the Company continues to maintain a sizable allowance
for loan losses against these exposures and to closely monitor the portfolio.

     Nonperforming assets declined by $13 million, or 16%, during the first
quarter of 2006 to $66 million and are down 66% from a year ago. The decrease
from the first quarter of 2005 reflects loan sales, paydowns, and charge-offs
of commercial loans. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2005 primarily
reflects the sale of aircraft.  The ratio of the total allowance for credit
losses to nonperforming assets was 858.8% at March 31, 2006, compared with
373.4% at March 31, 2005 and 720.2% at December 31, 2005.

     The table below sets forth information about the Company's impaired
loans. The Company uses the discounted cash flow, collateral value, or market
price methods for valuing its impaired loans:

     The total allowance for credit losses was $566 million, or 1.41% of total
loans at March 31, 2006, compared with $716 million, or 1.85% of total loans at
March 31, 2005 and $565 million, or 1.39% of total loans at December 31, 2005.

     The Company has $5.3 billion of secured margin loans on its balance sheet
at March 31, 2006.  The Company has rarely suffered a loss on these types of
loans and does not allocate any of its allowance for credit losses to these
loans.  As a result, the Company believes the ratio of total allowance for
credit losses to non-margin loans is a more appropriate metric to measure the
adequacy of the reserve.

     The ratio of the total allowance for credit losses to non-margin loans was
1.63% at March 31, 2006, compared with 2.19% at March 31, 2005 and 1.63% at
December 31, 2005, reflecting improvement in the credit quality since the first
quarter of 2005.

     The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets was
635.2% at March 31, 2006, compared with 304.0% at March 31, 2005 and 524.0% at
December 31, 2005.

     The allowance for loan losses and the allowance for lending-related
commitments consists of four elements: (1) an allowance for impaired credits
(nonaccrual commercial credits over $1 million), (2) an allowance for higher
risk rated credits, (3) an allowance for pass rated credits, and (4) an
unallocated allowance based on general economic conditions and risk factors in
the Company's individual markets.

     The first element, impaired credits, is based on individual analysis of
all nonperforming commercial credits over $1 million. The allowance is measured
by the difference between the recorded value of impaired loans and their fair
value. Fair value is either the present value of the expected future cash flows
from borrower, the market value of the loan, or the fair value of the
collateral.

     The second element, higher risk rated credits, is based on the assignment
of loss factors for each specific risk category of higher risk credits.  The
Company rates each credit in its portfolio that exceeds $1 million and assigns
the credits to specific risk pools.  A potential loss factor is assigned to
each pool, and an amount is included in the allowance equal to the product of
the amount of the loan in the pool and the risk factor.  Reviews of higher risk
rated loans are conducted quarterly and the loan's rating is updated as
necessary.  The Company prepares a loss migration analysis and compares its
actual loss experience to the loss factors on an annual basis to attempt to
ensure the accuracy of the loss factors assigned to each pool.  Pools of past
due consumer loans are included in specific risk categories based on their
length of time past due.

     The third element, pass rated credits, is based on the Company's expected
loss model. Borrowers are assigned to pools based on their credit ratings.  The
expected loss for each loan in a pool incorporates the borrower's credit
rating, loss given default rating and maturity.  The credit rating is dependent
upon the borrower's probability of default.  The loss given default
incorporates a recovery expectation.  Borrower and loss given default ratings
are reviewed semi-annually at a minimum and are periodically mapped to third
party, including rating agency, default and recovery data bases to ensure
ongoing consistency and validity.  Commercial loans over $1 million are
individually analyzed before being assigned a credit rating.  The Company also
applies this technique to its leasing and consumer portfolios.  All current
consumer loans are included in the pass rated consumer pools.

     The fourth element, the unallocated allowance, is based on management's
judgment regarding the following factors:

*	Economic conditions including duration of the current cycle;

*	Past experience including recent loss experience;

 34

*	Credit quality trends;

*	Collateral values;

*	Volume, composition, and growth of the loan portfolio;

*	Specific credits and industry conditions;

*	Results of bank regulatory and internal credit exams;

*	Actions by the Federal Reserve Board;

*	Delay in receipt of information to evaluate loans or confirm existing
        credit deterioration; and

*	Geopolitical issues and their impact on the economy.

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

                                                    March 31,    December 31,

                                                 ============     ===========

     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.

Deposits
--------

     Total deposits were $65.2 billion at March 31, 2006, compared with $59.0
billion at March 31, 2005 and $64.4 billion at December 31, 2005.  The increase
from March 31, 2005 was primarily due to increased market activity levels,
which resulted in higher levels of customer deposits at quarter end.
Noninterest-bearing deposits were $16.9 billion at March 31, 2006, compared
with $18.2 billion at December 31, 2005.  Interest-bearing deposits were $48.3
billion at March 31, 2006, compared with $46.2 billion at December 31, 2005.

LIQUIDITY

     The Company maintains its liquidity through the management of its assets
and liabilities, utilizing worldwide financial markets. The diversification of
liabilities reflects the Company's efforts to maintain flexibility of 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 by enabling the
Company to issue 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 sold and the monitoring of unfunded loan commitments,
thereby reducing unanticipated funding requirements. Liquidity is managed on
both a consolidated basis and at The Bank of New York Company, Inc. parent
company ("Parent").

     On a consolidated basis, non-core sources of funds such as money market
rate accounts, certificates of deposits greater than $100,000, federal funds
purchased, and other borrowings were $14.2 billion and $13.0 billion on an
average basis for the first three months of 2006 and 2005. Average foreign

 35

deposits, primarily from the Company's European based securities servicing
business, were $30.2 billion and $25.5 billion in the first quarters of 2006
and 2005.  The increase in foreign deposits reflects greater liquidity from the
Company's securities servicing customers.  Domestic savings and other time
deposits were $9.7 billion on an average basis in the first quarter of 2006
compared to $9.8 billion in 2005. Average payables to customers and broker-
dealers decreased to $5.2 billion from $6.4 billion in the first quarter of
2005.  The decline in payables to customers and broker-dealers reflects the
loss of a significant customer at Pershing.  Long-term debt averaged $8.0
billion and $6.6 billion in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005.  The increase
in long-term debt reflects the movement of Pershing from a subsidiary of the
Bank to a subsidiary of the Parent.  A significant reduction in the Company's
securities servicing businesses would reduce its access to foreign deposits.

     The Company's pending transaction with JPMorgan Chase will slightly alter
the composition of the balance sheet.  Approximately $15 billion of U.S dollar
retail deposits will be replaced with approximately $13 billion of
institutional corporate trust deposits.  On the asset side of the balance
sheet, approximately $8 billion of retail and middle market loans sold to
JPMorgan Chase will be replaced with liquid assets and securities. Goodwill and
intangibles are expected to increase approximately $2.1 billion.  As a result
of the transaction, the Company expects its balance sheet footings to decline
slightly.  See "Other Developments."

     The Parent has four major sources of liquidity: dividends from its
subsidiaries, the commercial paper market, a revolving credit agreement with
third party financial institutions, and access to the capital markets.

     At March 31, 2006, the Bank can pay dividends of approximately $510
million to the Parent without the need for regulatory waiver.  This dividend
capacity would increase in the remainder of 2006 to the extent of the Bank's
net income less dividends.  Nonbank subsidiaries of the Parent have liquid
assets of approximately $254 million.  These assets could be liquidated and the
proceeds delivered by dividend or loan to the Parent.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Parent's quarterly average
commercial paper borrowings were $447 million compared with $234 million in
2005.  At March 31, 2006, the Parent had cash of $685 million compared with
$739 million at March 31, 2005 and $791 million at December 31, 2005.  Net of
commercial paper outstanding, the Parent's cash position at March 31, 2006 was
down $50 million compared with March 31, 2005.

     The Parent has a back-up line of credit of $275 million with 14 financial
institutions.  This line of credit matures in October 2006.  There were no
borrowings under the line of credit at March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005.

     The Parent also has the ability to access the capital markets.  At March
31, 2006, the Parent has two shelf registrations with a capacity of $1.2
billion of debt, preferred stock, trust preferred securities, or common stock.
Access to the capital markets is partially dependent on the Company's credit
ratings, which as of March 31, 2006 were as follows:

     The Parent's major uses of funds are payment of dividends, principal and
interest on its borrowings, acquisitions, and additional investment in its
subsidiaries.

     The Parent has $225 million of long-term debt that becomes due in 2006
subsequent to March 31, 2006 and $700 million of long-term debt that is due in
2007.  In addition, the Parent periodically has the option to call $228 million
of subordinated debt in 2006, which it will call and refinance if market
conditions are favorable.  The Parent expects to refinance any debt it repays
by issuing a combination of senior and subordinated debt.

     The Company has $800 million of trust preferred securities that are
callable in 2006. These securities qualify as Tier 1 Capital. The Company has
not yet decided if it will call these securities. The decision to call will be
based on interest rates, the availability of cash and capital, and regulatory
conditions.  If the Company calls the trust preferred securities, it expects to
replace them with new trust preferred securities or senior or subordinated
debt.

     Double leverage is the ratio of investment in subsidiaries divided by the
Company's consolidated equity plus trust preferred securities.  The Company's
double leverage ratio at March 31, 2006 and 2005 was 109.85% and 101.15%,
respectively. The Company's target double leverage ratio is a maximum of 120%.
The double leverage ratio is monitored by regulators and rating agencies and is
an important constraint on the Company's ability to invest in its subsidiaries
to expand its businesses.

     Pershing LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, has committed and
uncommitted lines of credit in place for liquidity purposes.  The committed
line of credit of $500 million with five financial institutions matures in
March 2007. There were no borrowings against this line of credit during the
first quarter of 2006.  Pershing LLC has three separate uncommitted lines of
credit amounting to $1 billion in aggregate. Average daily borrowing under
these lines was $1 million, in aggregate, during the first quarter of 2006.

     Pershing Limited, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, has committed and
uncommitted lines in place for liquidity purposes. The committed lines of
credit of $275 million with four financial institutions mature in March 2007.
Average daily borrowings under these lines were $75 million, in aggregate,
during the first quarter of 2006.  Pershing Limited has three separate
uncommitted lines of credit amounting to $300 million in aggregate. Average
daily borrowing under these lines was $155 million, in aggregate, during the
first quarter of 2006.

     The following comments relate to the information disclosed in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

     Cash provided by other operating activities was $0.5 billion for the three
months of 2006, compared with $0.4 billion used by operating activities through
March 31, 2005.  The source of funds in 2006 was principally due to the changes
in accruals and other and net income.  The use of funds from operations in 2005
was principally the result of changes in accruals and other as well as changes
in trading activities.

     In the first three months of 2006, cash used for investing activities was
$1.0 billion as compared to cash used for investing activities in the first
three months of 2005 of $2.5 billion. In the first three months of 2006,
purchases of securities available-for-sale and changes in federal funds sold
and securities repurchased under resale agreements were a significant use of
funds. Purchases of securities available-for-sale and principal disbursed on
loans to customers were a significant use of funds in 2005.

     Through March 31, 2006, cash provided by financing activities was $0.4
billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the first three months of 2005. Sources of
funds in 2006 and 2005 include deposits and proceeds from the issuance of long-
term debt.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Shareholders' equity was $10,101 million at March 31, 2006, compared with
$9,335 million at March 31, 2005 and $9,876 million at December 31, 2005.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company retained $258 million of
earnings. In April 2006, the Company declared a quarterly common stock
dividend of 21 cents per share.  Accumulated other comprehensive income
declined $55 million from December 31, 2005 primarily reflecting higher
unrealized mark-to-market losses in the securities available-for-sale
portfolio.

     In the first quarter of 2006, the Company issued $67 million of callable
medium-term subordinated notes bearing interest at rates from 5.55% to 6.00%.
The notes are due in 2021 and 2031 and are callable by the Company after three
to five years.  The notes qualify as Tier 2 capital.

     On February 27, 2006, the Company entered into a lease transaction
recorded as long-term debt of $527 million bearing interest at a fixed Euro
rate of 3.1% per annum and amortizing on a quarterly basis through 2031, unless
terminated earlier.

     Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies
and banks, including the Company and the Bank, in accordance with established
quantitative measurements. For the Parent to maintain its status as a financial
holding company, the Bank must qualify as well capitalized. In addition, major
bank holding companies such as the Parent are expected by the regulators to be
well capitalized.  As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company and the Bank were
considered well capitalized on the basis of the ratios (defined by regulation)
of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and leverage (Tier 1
capital to average assets), which are shown as follows:

* Tier 1 capital consists, generally, of common equity, trust preferred securities (subject to
  limitations in 2009), and certain qualifying preferred stock, less goodwill and most other
  intangibles.
**Total Capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital consists,
  generally, of certain qualifying preferred stock and subordinated debt and a portion of the
  loan loss allowance.



     The Company's regulatory Tier 1 capital and Total Capital ratios were
8.28% and 12.44% at March 31, 2006, compared with 8.13% and 12.54% at March 31,
2005 and 8.38% and 12.48% at December 31, 2005.  The regulatory leverage ratio
was 6.51% at March 31, 2006, compared with 6.56% at March 31, 2005 and 6.60% at
December 31, 2005. The Company's tangible common equity as a percentage of
total assets was 5.42% at March 31, 2006, compared with 5.48% at March 31, 2005
and 5.58% at December 31, 2005. The Company's pending transaction with JPMorgan
Chase is expected to reduce its TCE ratio to approximately 4.67% primarily due
to the intangibles associated with the transaction.  The tangible common equity
ratio varies depending on the size of the balance sheet at quarter-end and the
impact of interest rates on unrealized gains and losses among other things. The
balance sheet size fluctuates from quarter to quarter based on levels of market
activity. In general, when servicing clients are more actively trading
securities, deposit balances and the balance sheet as a whole, are higher to
finance these activities.

     A billion dollar change in assets changes the TCE ratio by 5 basis points
while a $100 million change in common equity changes the TCE ratio by 10 basis
points.

     On April 4, 2006, pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, the Company repurchased 10
million shares of its common stock at an initial price of $35.85 from a broker-
dealer counterparty who borrowed the shares, as part of an accelerated share
repurchase program. The repurchase was triggered by the non-issuance of a
specified FSP for lease accounting for calendar year 2006 or prior periods.
See "Accounting Changes and New Accounting Pronouncements" in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.  The initial price is subject to a purchase
price adjustment based on the price the counterparty pays for the Company's
shares it purchases over time in the open market to cover the borrowed shares.

     On March 1, 2005, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the "FRB") adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of
trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies
(BHCs). Under the final rule, the Company will be subject to a 15 percent limit
in the amount of trust preferred securities that can be included in Tier 1
capital, net of goodwill, less any related deferred tax liability.  Amounts in
excess of these limits will continue to be included in Tier 2 capital.  The
final rule provides a five-year transition period, ending March 31, 2009, for
application of quantitative limits.  Under the transition rules, the Company
expects all its trust preferred securities to continue to qualify as Tier 1
capital.  Both the Company and the Bank are expected to remain "well
capitalized" under the final rule.  At the end of the transition period, the
Company expects all its current trust preferred securities will continue to
qualify as Tier 1 capital.

     The following table presents the components of the Company's risk-based
capital at March 31, 2006 and 2005:

     The Company's trading activities are focused on acting as a market maker
for the Company's customers.  The risk from these market making activities and
from the Company's own positions is managed by the Company's traders and
limited in total exposure as described below.

     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 a separate unit on a daily basis.  Based
on certain assumptions, the VAR methodology is designed to capture 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.  The VAR model is used to calculate economic
capital, which is allocated to the business units for computing risk-adjusted
performance.

 40

     As 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.  Stress tests by their design
incorporate the impact of reduced liquidity and the breakdown of observed
correlations. The results of these stress tests are reviewed weekly with senior
management.

     The following table indicates the calculated VAR amounts for the trading
portfolio for the periods indicated.

NM - Because the minimum and maximum may occur on different days for different
     risk components, it is not meaningful to compute a portfolio
     diversification effect.

     During the first quarter of 2006, interest rate risk generated
approximately 47% of average VAR, credit derivatives generated 22% of average
VAR, foreign exchange accounted for 17% of average VAR, and equity generated
14% of average VAR.  During the first quarter of 2006, the Company's daily
trading loss did not exceed the Company's calculated VAR amounts on any given
day.

     The following table of total daily revenue or loss captures trading
volatility and shows the number of days on which the Company's trading revenues
fell within particular ranges during the past year.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The Company's asset/liability management activities include lending,
investing in securities, accepting deposits, raising money as needed to fund
assets, and processing securities and other transactions.  The market risks
that arise from these activities are interest rate risk, and to a lesser
degree, foreign exchange risk.  The Company's primary market risk is exposure
to movements in U.S. dollar interest rates.  Exposure to movements in foreign
currency interest rates also exists, but to a significantly lower degree.  The
Company actively manages interest rate sensitivity.  In addition to gap
analysis, the Company uses earnings simulation and discounted cash flow models
to identify interest rate exposures.

     An earnings simulation model is the primary tool used to assess changes in
pre-tax net interest income.  The model incorporates management's assumptions
regarding interest rates, balance changes on core deposits, and changes in the
prepayment behavior of loans and securities, and the impact of derivative
financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.  These
assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis
and future expected pricing behavior.  These assumptions are inherently
uncertain, and, as a result, the earnings simulation model cannot precisely
estimate net interest income or the impact of higher or lower interest rates on
net interest income.  Actual results may differ from projected results due to
timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market
conditions and management's strategies, among other factors.

     The Company evaluates the effect on earnings by running various interest
rate ramp scenarios up and down from a baseline scenario, which assumes no
changes in interest rates.  These scenarios are reviewed to examine the impact
of large interest rate movements.  Interest rate sensitivity is quantified by
calculating the change in pre-tax net interest income between the scenarios
over a 12-month measurement period.  The measurement of interest rate
sensitivity is the percentage change in net interest income as shown in the
following table:

(Dollars in millions)                             Estimated Changes in
                                                  Net Interest Income
                                        --------------------------------------
                                          March 31, 2006     December 31, 2005

                                        --------- --------   ---------- ------
 +200 Basis Point Ramp vs. Stable Rate  $   (64)    (3.1)%  $   (65)     (3.2)%
 +100 Basis Point Ramp vs. Stable Rate      (28)    (1.3)       (29)     (1.4)
 -100 Basis Point Ramp vs. Stable Rate       (1)       -         (8)     (0.4)
 -200 Basis Point Ramp vs. Stable Rate      (15)    (0.7)       (32)     (1.6)


     The base case scenario Fed Funds rate in the March 31, 2006 analysis was
4.75% versus 4.25% for the December 31, 2005 analysis.  The +100 basis point
ramp scenario assumes short-term rates rise 25 basis points in each of the next
four quarters, while the +200 ramp scenario assumes a 50 basis point per
quarter increase.  The +100 basis point March 31, 2006 scenario assumes a
steepening of the yield curve with 10-year rates rising 115 basis points. The
+200 basis point March 31, 2006 scenario assumes a slight steepening of the
yield curve with 10-year rates rising 214 basis points.  These scenarios do not
reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact as interest
rate expectations change.

     The above table relies on certain critical assumptions including
depositors' behavior related to interest rate fluctuations and the prepayment
and extension risk in certain of the Company's assets.  To the extent that
actual behavior is different from that assumed in the models, there could be a
change in interest rate sensitivity.  The Company's pending transaction with
JPMorgan Chase will initially result in a more liability-sensitive balance
because corporate trust liabilities reprice more quickly than retail deposits.
The Company expects to use portfolio management to restore its interest rate
sensitivity to a position similar to pre-transaction levels.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

     On January 3, 2006, the Company acquired Alcentra, an international asset
management group focused on managing funds that invest in non-investment grade
debt. Alcentra's management team will retain a 20 percent interest.  Alcentra
has operations in London and Los Angeles and currently manages 15 different
investment funds with over $6.2 billion of assets.

     On March 2, 2006, the Company acquired Urdang, a real estate investment
management firm that manages approximately $3.0 billion in direct investments
and portfolios of REIT securities.

     On April 8, 2006, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell its
retail and regional middle market businesses to JPMorgan Chase for $3.1 billion
with a premium of $2.3 billion.  JPMorgan Chase will sell its corporate trust
business to the Company for $2.8 billion with a premium of $2.15 billion. The
difference in premiums results in a net cash payment of $150 million to the
Company. There is also a contingent payment of up to $50 million to the Company
tied to customer retention.

    The transaction further increases the Company's focus on the securities
services and wealth management businesses that have fueled the Company's growth
in recent years and that are at the core of its long-term business strategy.

     The transaction has been approved by each company's board of directors and
is expected to be completed late in the third quarter or during the fourth
quarter of 2006, subject to regulatory approvals.  The Company expects to
record an after-tax gain of $1.3 billion on the businesses to be sold. The
Company also expects to incur after-tax merger and integration charges of $90-
120 million, which will be recorded over several quarters.  The transaction is
expected to be dilutive to GAAP earnings per share through 2009 (4.5 percent in
2007 to 1.5 percent in 2009), but to be accretive to cash earnings per share in
2009 when cost savings are fully phased in.

     JPMorgan Chase's corporate trust business comprises issues representing $5
trillion in total debt outstanding.  It has 2,400 employees in more than 40
locations globally.  The Company's corporate trust business comprises issues
representing $3 trillion in total debt outstanding.  It has 1,300 employees in
25 locations globally.

     The Company's retail bank consists of 342 branches in the tri-state
region, serving approximately 700,000 consumer households and small businesses
with $14.5 billion in deposits and $15.4 billion in assets.  The Company's
regional middle market businesses provide financing, banking and treasury
services for middle market clients, serving more than 2,000 clients in the tri-
state region.  Together, the units have 4,000 employees located in New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware.

     During the first quarter of 2006, the Company repurchased 0.9 million
shares of its common stock in the open market and through the employee benefit
plans. The Company also repurchased 1.5 million shares of its common stock in
February at an initial price of $34.31 through an accelerated share repurchase
program.

Operating leverage is measured by comparing the rate of increase in revenue to
the rate of increase in expenses. The chart below shows the computation of
operating leverage.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     Much of the information in this document is forward-looking.  This
includes all statements about the Company's earnings and revenue outlook,
projected business growth, the expected outcome of legal, regulatory and
investigatory proceedings, predicted loan losses, and the Company's plans,
objectives and strategies. Forward-looking statements represent the Company's
current estimates or expectations of future events or results.

     The Company, or its executive officers and directors on its behalf, may
make additional forward-looking statements from time to time.  When used in
this report, any press release or any such oral statement, words such as
"estimate, ""forecast," "project," "anticipate," "confident," "target,"
"expect," "intend," "think," "continue," "seek," "believe," "plan," "goal,"
"could," "should," "may," "will," "strategy," and words of similar meaning,
signify forward-looking statements.

     Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations
and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are
discussed herein, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
projected results. Forward-looking statements could be affected by a number of
factors, some of which by their nature are dynamic and subject to rapid and
possibly abrupt changes that the Company is necessarily unable to predict
accurately, including the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the additional
risk factors set forth below.

     This is not an exhaustive list of the risks the Company faces.  For a
further discussion of other factors affecting the Company's businesses, see
"Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors That Could Affect Future Results"
in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.  The
Company will not update forward-looking statements to reflect new facts,
changes in assumptions or circumstances, or subsequent events.

     In addition to the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the following risk factors
should be considered before making an investment in the Company's securities:

     The Company may not be able to complete its acquisition of the JPMorgan
Chase Corporate Trust Business and its divestiture of its retail banking and
middle market businesses in a timely manner or at all.

     As discussed above, the Company recently announced its planned
acquisition of the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Trust Business (the "JPMorgan
Business") and divestiture of its retail and middle market banking businesses
to JPMorgan Chase.  If obtaining the required regulatory approvals or
satisfying the other closing conditions for these transactions takes longer
than expected, the closing of the transactions may not occur in a timely
manner or at all.  A delayed closing could adversely affect its efforts to
integrate the JPMorgan Business successfully.   If the Company is unable to
close the transactions, the Company will have diverted resources away from
pursuits that could ultimately have proved to be more beneficial to its
business.

     The Company may not realize the expected financial benefits from the
acquisition of the JPMorgan Business if the Company fails to integrate the
JPMorgan Chase Business successfully or if the JPMorgan Business does not
perform as well as the Company expects.

     Achieving the expected benefits of this acquisition will require the
Company to retain a substantial portion of the JPMorgan Business's current
client base, to increase the revenue growth rate of the JPMorgan Business and
to retain key employees of the JPMorgan Business.  The scale, scope and nature

 46

of the integration and client retention efforts required as a result of the
acquisition present a significant challenge to the Company.  The Company may
not be able to integrate the JPMorgan Business on the expected schedule,
realize the anticipated cost savings and economies of scale, or retain a
significant number of clients of the JPMorgan Business, any of which could
cause the Company not to realize expected benefits from the acquisition. The
Company will also seek to move the records of some existing corporate trust
clients to the JPMorgan Chase technology platform, which the Company is also
acquiring. The integration of the JPMorgan Business, including moving client
records, could take longer than planned and be subject to unanticipated
difficulties and expenses. It is possible that the transition of the JPMorgan
Business could adversely affect the Company's ability to maintain relationships
with clients and that some JPMorgan Business clients will elect other service
providers.  The Company could experience client attrition or revenue loss in
the JPMorgan Business in excess of its expectations. The integration process
could also result in the loss of key JPMorgan Business employees.

     If the Company is unable to integrate the JPMorgan Business successfully,
then the Company may fail to realize the anticipated synergies and growth
opportunities or achieve the cost savings and revenue growth the Company
expects from the acquisition. Furthermore, the integration of the JPMorgan
Business will require a significant commitment of time and resources by the
Company's management and other personnel, which could adversely affect its
ability to service and retain its existing corporate trust clients and could
divert the attention of management from its other businesses.

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

     The Federal Reserve Board has the primary responsibility for United States
monetary policy.  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. For securities servicing and global payment services, international,
national, and regional commercial banks, trust banks, investment banks,
specialized processing companies, outsourcing companies, data processing
companies, stock exchanges, and other business firms offer active competition.
In the private banking and asset management markets, international, national,
and regional commercial banks, standalone asset management companies, mutual
funds, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment counseling
firms, and other business firms and individuals actively compete for business.
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.

                        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., a financial holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
"Company") 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 consolidated 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.

2.  Accounting Changes and New Accounting Pronouncements
    ----------------------------------------------------

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," in 1995.  At that time, as permitted by the standard, the
Company elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and accounted
for the options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method, under
which no expense is recognized for stock options because they were granted at
the stock price on the grant date and therefore have no intrinsic value.

     On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of
accounting for its options under SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148 ("SFAS
148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure."
SFAS 148 permits three different methods of adopting fair value: (1) the
prospective method, (2) the modified prospective method, and (3) the
retroactive restatement method.  Under the prospective method, options issued
after January 1, 2003 are expensed while all options granted prior to January
1, 2003 are accounted for under APB 25 using the intrinsic value method.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company elected the prospective method
of adopting fair value accounting.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, approximately 6 million
options were granted. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $10
million of stock option expense.

     The retroactive restatement method requires the Company's financial
statements to be restated as if fair value accounting had been adopted in
1995.  The following table discloses the pro forma effects on the Company's
net income and earnings per share as if the retroactive restatement method
had been adopted.

(Dollars in millions,                               1st Quarter

                                                  ------  ------
Reported net income                               $  422  $  379

     The fair value of options granted in 2006 and 2005 were estimated at the
grant date using the following weighted average assumptions:

                                                 1st Quarter
                                                2006    2005
                                               -----   -----
Dividend Yield                                  2.44%   2.77%
Expected Volatility                            21.94   25.05
Risk Free Interest Rates                        4.66    4.15
Expected Options Lives                             5       5


     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004)
("SFAS 123(R)"), "Share-Based Payment," which is a revision of FASB Statement
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  FASB 123(R) eliminates the
ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and requires that such transactions be
accounted for using a fair value-based method.  Statement 123(R) covers a wide
range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options,
restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights,
and employee share purchase plans.  The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) on January
1, 2006 using the "modified prospective" method.  Under this method,
compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on
the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after
the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all
awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that
remain unvested on the effective date.

     The Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
compensation prospectively as of January 1, 2003.  As of January 1, 2006, the
Company was amortizing all of its unvested stock option grants.

     Certain of the Company's stock compensation grants vest when the employee
retires. SFAS 123(R) will require the completion of expensing of new grants
with this feature by the first date the employee is eligible to retire. For
grants prior to January 1, 2006, the Company will continue to expense them over
their stated vesting period.  The Company expects the adoption of FAS 123(R) to
increase pre-tax expense in 2006 by $3 million due to the vesting on retirement
feature.

     In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5("EITF
04-5"), "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a
Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited
Partners Have Certain Rights", which provides guidance in determining whether a
general partner controls a limited partnership.  The adoption of EITF 04-5 did
not have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operation.

     In July 2005, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft of a proposed
Interpretation, "Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions." The proposed
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
proposed Interpretation requires that a tax position meet a "probable
recognition threshold" for the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be
recognized in the financial statements. A tax position that fails to meet the
probable recognition threshold will result in either reduction of current or
deferred tax asset or receivable, or recording a current or deferred tax
liability. The proposed Interpretation also provides guidance on measurement,
derecognition of tax benefits, classification, interim period accounting
disclosure, and transition requirements in accounting for uncertain tax
positions. A final standard is expected to be issued in 2006. The Company is
assessing the impact of adopting the new pronouncement and is currently unable
to estimate its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In July 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft, FSP FAS 13-a, "Accounting
for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income
Generated by a Leverage Lease Transaction," revising the accounting guidance
under SFAS No. 13 ("SFAS 13"), "Accounting for Leases," for leveraged leases.

 54

The exposure draft modifies existing interpretations of SFAS 13 and
associated industry practice.  As a result, when the revised FSP becomes
effective, the Company expects to recognize a material one-time after-tax
charge to earnings or capital of $340 to $385 million related to a change
in the timing of its lease cash flows due to the LILO settlement.  See Note
"Commitments and Contingencies".  However, an amount approximating this
one-time charge would be taken into income over the remaining term of the
affected leases.

     In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155 ("SFAS 155"),
"Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments", an amendment of SFAS 140
and SFAS 133. SFAS 155 permits the Company to elect to measure any hybrid
financial instrument at fair value if the hybrid instrument contains an
embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and be accounted
for separately under SFAS 133.  This statement clarifies which interest-only
strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS
133 and that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not
embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments
acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event after December 31, 2006.
The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard will have a
significant impact on its financial conditions or results of operations.

     Certain other prior year information has been reclassified to conform its
presentation with the 2006 financial statements.

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

     The Company continues to be an active acquirer of securities servicing and
asset management businesses.

     In the first quarter of 2006, two businesses were acquired for a total
cost of $323 million, primarily paid in cash. The Company frequently structures
its acquisitions with both an initial payment and a later contingent payment
tied to post-closing revenue or income growth.  The Company records the fair
value of contingent payments as an additional cost of the entity acquired in
the period that the payment becomes probable.

     Goodwill related to acquisitions in the first quarter of 2006 was $212
million. The tax-deductible portion of goodwill related to acquisitions in the
first quarter of 2006 was $73 million.  At March 31, 2006, the Company was
liable for potential contingent payments related to acquisitions in the amount
of $323 million. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company paid or accrued
$17 million for contingent payments related to acquisitions made in prior
years.

2006
----
     On January 3, 2006, the Company acquired Alcentra, an international asset
management group focused on managing funds that invest in non-investment grade
debt. Alcentra's management team will retain a 20 percent interest.  Alcentra
has operations in London and Los Angeles and currently manages 15 different
investment funds with over $6.2 billion of assets.

     On March 2, 2006, the Company acquired Urdang, a real estate investment
management firm that manages approximately $3.0 billion in direct investments
and portfolios of REIT securities.

     On April 8, 2006, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell its
retail and regional middle market businesses to JPMorgan Chase for $3.1 billion
with a premium of $2.3 billion.  JPMorgan Chase will sell its corporate trust
business to the Company for $2.8 billion with a premium of $2.15 billion. The
difference in premiums results in a net cash payment of $150 million to the
Company. There is also a contingent payment of up to $50 million to the Company
tied to customer retention.  For further details, see "Other Developments."

5.  Allowance for Credit Losses
    ---------------------------

     The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that, in
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses associated with
specifically identified loans, as well as estimated probable credit losses
inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Management's judgment includes the following factors, among others: risks of
individual credits; past experience; the volume, composition, and growth of the
loan portfolio; and economic conditions.

     The Company conducts a quarterly portfolio review to determine the
adequacy of its allowance for credit losses.  All commercial loans over $1
million are assigned to specific risk categories.  Smaller commercial and
consumer loans are evaluated on a pooled basis and assigned to specific risk
categories.  Following this review, senior management of the Company analyzes
the results and determines the allowance for credit losses.  The Risk Committee
of the Company's Board of Directors reviews the allowance at the end of each
quarter.

     The portion of the allowance for credit losses allocated to impaired loans
(nonaccrual commercial loans over $1 million) is measured by the difference

 56

between their recorded value and fair value.  Fair value is the present value
of the expected future cash flows from borrowers, the market value of the loan,
or the fair value of the collateral.

     Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when collateral is
insufficient and principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, or when
there is reasonable doubt that interest or principal will be collected.
Accrued interest is usually reversed when a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans may be recognized as
income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment.
Nonaccrual loans are restored to accrual status when principal and interest are
current or they become fully collateralized.  Consumer loans are not classified
as nonperforming assets, but are charged off and interest accrued is suspended
based upon an established delinquency schedule determined by product.  Real
estate acquired in satisfaction of loans is carried in other assets at the
lower of the recorded investment in the property or fair value minus estimated
costs to sell.

     Transactions in the allowance for credit losses are summarized as follows:

10.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     --------------------------------------

     In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent
liabilities are outstanding which are not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.  Management does not expect any material losses to
result from these matters.

     The Company's significant trading and off-balance-sheet risks are
securities, foreign currency and interest rate risk management products,
commercial lending commitments, letters of credit, and securities lending
indemnifications.  The Company assumes these risks to reduce interest rate and
foreign currency risks, to provide customers with the ability to meet credit
and liquidity needs, to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks, and to
trade for its own account.  These items involve, to varying degrees, credit,
foreign exchange, and interest rate risk not recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company's off-balance-sheet risks are managed and monitored in manners
similar to those used for on-balance-sheet risks.  There are no significant
industry concentrations of such risks.

     A summary of the notional amount of the Company's off-balance-sheet credit
transactions, net of participations, at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005
follows:


Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risks
------------------------------

                                                        March 31,  December 31,
(In millions)                                               2006          2005
-----------------------------------                 ------------   -----------
Lending Commitments                                 $     38,612   $    36,954
Standby Letters of Credit                                 10,622        10,383
Commercial Letters of Credit                               1,108         1,189
Securities Lending Indemnifications                      352,380       310,970

     The total potential loss on undrawn commitments, standby and commercial
letters of credit, and securities lending indemnifications is equal to the
total notional amount if drawn upon, which does not consider the value of any
collateral.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.  The allowance for lending-related commitments at March 31, 2006
and December 31, 2005 was $147 million and $154 million.

     A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in
which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security through an agent (the

 59

Company) to a borrower, usually a broker/dealer or bank, on an open, overnight
or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract, which generally
matures in less than 90 days.  The Company generally lends securities with
indemnification against broker default.  The Company generally requires the
borrower to provide 102% cash collateral which is monitored on a daily basis,
thus reducing credit risk.  Security lending transactions are generally entered
into only with highly-rated counterparties.  At March 31, 2006 and December 31,
2005, securities lending indemnifications were secured by collateral of $360.4
billion and $317.4 billion, respectively.

     Standby letters of credit principally support corporate obligations and
include $0.9 billion that were collateralized with cash and securities on March
31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.  At March 31, 2006, approximately $7.0 billion
of the standbys will expire within one year, and the balance between one to
five years.

     The notional amounts for other off-balance-sheet risks (See "Trading
Activities" in the MD&A section) express the dollar volume of the transactions;
however, credit risk is much smaller.  The Company performs credit reviews and
enters into netting agreements to minimize the credit risk of foreign currency
and interest rate risk management products.  The Company enters into offsetting
positions to reduce exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk.



Other
-----

     The Company has provided standard representations for underwriting
agreements, acquisition and divestiture agreements, sales of loans and
commitments, and other similar types of arrangements and customary
indemnification for claims and legal proceedings related to its provision of
financial services.  Insurance has been purchased to mitigate certain of these
risks.  The Company is a minority equity investor in, and member of, several
industry clearing or settlement exchanges through which foreign exchange,
securities or other transactions settle.  Certain of these industry clearing or
settlement exchanges require their members to guarantee their obligations and
liabilities or to provide financial support in the event other partners do not
honor their obligations.  It is not possible to estimate a maximum potential
amount of payments that could be required with such agreements.

      In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes certain investments
that have tax consequences.  From time to time, the IRS may question or
challenge the tax position taken by the Company.  The Company engaged in
certain types of structured cross-border leveraged leasing investments,
referred to as "LILOs", prior to mid-1999 that the IRS has challenged.  In
2004, the IRS proposed adjustments to the Company's tax treatment of these
transactions.  As previously disclosed, beginning in the fourth quarter of
2004, the Company had several appellate conferences with the IRS in an attempt
to settle the proposed adjustments related to these LILO transactions.

     On February 28, 2006, the Company settled this matter with the IRS
relating to LILO transactions closed in 1996 and 1997. The settlement will not
affect first quarter 2006 net income, as the impact of the settlement was fully
reserved.

     The Company's 1998 leveraged lease transactions are in a subsequent audit
cycle and were not part of the settlement.  The Company believes that a
comparable settlement for 1998 will ultimately be possible, given the
similarity between these leases and the settled leases. However, negotiations
are not complete and the treatment of the 1998 leases may still be litigated.
Under current generally accepted accounting principles, if the 1998 leases are
settled on a basis comparable to the 1996 and 1997 leases, the Company would
not expect the settlement of the 1998 leases to have an impact on net income,
based on existing reserves.

     In the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company deposited funds with the IRS in
anticipation of reaching a settlement on all of its LILO investments.

 60

     On February 11, 2005, the IRS released Notice 2005-13, which identified
certain lease investments known as "SILOs" as potentially subject to IRS
challenge.  The Company believes that certain of its lease investments entered
into prior to 2004 may be consistent with transactions described in the notice.
In response, the Company is reviewing its lease portfolio and evaluating the
technical merits of the IRS' position. Although it is likely the IRS will
challenge the tax benefits associated with these leases, the Company remains
confident that its tax treatment of the leases complied with statutory,
administrative and judicial authority existing at the time they were entered
into.

     The Company currently believes it has adequate tax reserves to cover its
LILO exposure and any other potential tax exposures, based on a probability
assessment of various potential outcomes.  Probabilities and outcomes are
reviewed as events unfold, and adjustments to the reserves are made when
appropriate.

     In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are
routinely defendants in or parties to a number of pending and potential legal
actions, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants,
and regulatory matters.  Claims for significant monetary damages are asserted
in certain of these actions and proceedings.  Due to the inherent difficulty of
predicting the outcome of such matters, the Company cannot ascertain what the
eventual outcome of these matters will be; however, based on current knowledge
and after consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not believe that
judgments or settlements, if any, arising from pending or potential legal
actions or regulatory matters, either individually or in the aggregate, after
giving effect to applicable reserves, will have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company although they
could have a material effect on net income for a given period.  The Company
intends to defend itself vigorously against all of the claims asserted in these
legal actions.

     See discussion of contingent legal matters in the "Legal and Regulatory
Proceedings" section.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     The Company's Disclosure Committee, whose members include the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has responsibility for ensuring
that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining,
and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its SEC reports is
timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported. In addition, the Company
has established a Code of Conduct designed to provide a statement of the values
and ethical standards to which the Company requires its employees and directors
to adhere. The Code of Conduct provides the framework for maintaining the
highest possible standards of professional conduct.  The Company also maintains
an ethics hotline for employees.

     As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company may routinely modify,
upgrade and enhance its internal controls and procedures for financial
reporting.  However, there have not been any changes in the Company's internal
controls over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
-----------------------------------------

     In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are
routinely defendants in or parties to a number of pending and potential legal
actions, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants,
and regulatory matters.  Claims for significant monetary damages are asserted
in certain of these actions and proceedings.  In regulatory enforcement
matters, claims for disgorgement and the imposition of penalties and/or other
remedial sanctions are possible.  Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting
the outcome of such matters, the Company cannot ascertain what the eventual
outcome of these matters will be; however, on the basis of current knowledge
and after consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not believe that
judgments or settlements, if any, arising from pending or potential legal
actions or regulatory matters, either individually or in the aggregate, after
giving effect to applicable reserves, will have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company, although
they could have a material effect on net income for a given period.
The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against all of the claims
asserted in these legal actions.

     As previously disclosed in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is investigating 1) the
appropriateness of certain expenditures made in connection with marketing and
distribution of the Hamilton Funds; 2) possible market-timing transactions
cleared by Pershing LLC ("Pershing"); and 3) the trading activities of Pershing
Trading Company LP, a floor specialist, on two regional exchanges from 1999 to
2004.

     Pershing, which the Company acquired from Credit Suisse First Boston
(USA), Inc. ("CSFB") in May 2003, is defending a putative class action lawsuit

 63

filed against CSFB seeking unspecified damages relating to mutual fund market-
timing transactions that were cleared through Pershing's facilities.

     Because the conduct at issue in the putative class action and the Pershing
market timing and floor specialist investigations is alleged to have occurred
largely during the period when Pershing was owned by CSFB, the Company has made
claims for indemnification against CSFB relating to these matters under the
agreement relating to the acquisition of Pershing.  CSFB is disputing these
claims for indemnification.

     As previously disclosed, the SEC has been investigating two of the
Company's issuer services businesses. The Company continues to cooperate with
these investigations.  One of the investigations has focused primarily on the
Company's role as transfer agent on behalf of equity issuers in the United
States and the process that the Company's stock transfer division used to
search for lost security holders of its issuer clients.  On April 24, 2006, a
settlement with the SEC was announced resolving this matter.  The settlement
includes, among other things: (i) a cease and desist order against the Bank for
violations of certain securities laws; (ii) the Bank's agreement to offer
payment to certain security holders for property escheated erroneously (while
reserving the right to pursue their claim for repayment with the state to which
the property was escheated) and a penalty of $250,000; and (iii) the Bank's
retention of an independent consultant to review and evaluate certain of the
Bank's policies and procedures. The Company believes the settlement will have
no adverse effect on its transfer agent business. The other SEC investigation
has focused on the Company's role as auction agent in connection with certain
auction rate securities. The Company has entered into settlement negotiations
with the SEC staff concerning the auction agent investigation. There can be no
assurance that a settlement will be reached.

     As disclosed in a report filed on Form 8-K, the Company entered into a
written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York
State Banking Department on April 21, 2006.  The agreement outlines a series of
steps to strengthen and enhance the Bank's compliance practices, systems,
controls, and procedures.

(1) Based on initial price.

     All shares were repurchased through the Company's stock repurchase
programs announced on July 12, 2005, which permits the repurchase of 20 million
shares.  The shares repurchased in January primarily resulted from open market
purchases, while 1.5 million shares were repurchased in February at an initial
price of $34.31 from a broker-dealer counterparty who borrowed the shares, as
part of an accelerated share repurchase program. The initial price is subject
to a purchase price adjustment based on the price the counterparty actually
pays for the shares.  The remaining shares repurchased were from employee
benefit plans.
