THE BANK OF NEW YORK COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General
-------
The accounting and reporting policies of The Bank of New York Company,
Inc. (the Company), a financial holding company, and its subsidiaries conform
with generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the
banking industry. Such policies are consistent with those applied in the
preparation of the Company's annual financial statements.
The accompanying 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. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
2. Acquisitions and Dispositions
-----------------------------
The Company continues to be an active acquirer of securities servicing
and asset management businesses. During the first quarter of 2002, 4
businesses were acquired for a total cost of $205 million, primarily paid in
cash. 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. Potential contingent payments related to first quarter acquisitions
are $185 million.
Goodwill related to first quarter 2002 acquisition transactions was $133
million, of which $70 million is deductible for tax purposes. All of the
goodwill was assigned to the Company's Servicing and Fiduciary Business
segment. At March 31, 2002, the Company was liable for potential contingent
payments related to acquisitions in the amount of $356 million. During the
first quarter of 2002, the Company paid $6 million for contingent payments
related to acquisitions made in prior years. The pro forma effect of the 2002
acquisitions is not material to first quarter 2002 results.
In January 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the
correspondent clearing business of Weiss, Peck & Greer, LLC adding
approximately 70 new correspondent clearing clients. The Company anticipates
that this transaction will close by the end of May 2002.
In February 2002, the Company acquired Autranet, Inc., a subsidiary of
Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc. This acquisition provides the Company
with one of the largest providers of independently originated research
services in the U.S. and maintains relationships with over 500 institutional
investment managers. Autranet provides a full range of services covering every
aspect of the third party research process including trade execution,
operational and administrative support, research selection and procurement
services and regulatory support.
In February 2002, the Company acquired G-Trade Services, Ltd. and other
related wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Credit Lyonnais SA Group. G-Trade, a
leading provider of wholesale execution services including electronic direct
access trading in 22 markets and basket trading capabilities in 65 markets
worldwide, is the executing and clearing broker for non-U.S. equities executed
through the Bloomberg Tradebook system. This acquisition will greatly expand
the Company's non-dollar institutional trading capabilities and enhance the
range of international services that the Company offers in the institutional
brokerage and clearing services sector.
In February 2002, the Company acquired the Core International ADR and
Domestic Equity Index institutional investment management businesses of Axe-
8
Houghton Associates, Inc. based in Rye Brook, New York. This transaction will
add approximately $2.6 billion in assets under management.
In March 2002, the Company acquired Jaywalk, Inc., a third-party
aggregator of quality independent investment research. The acquisition offers
quantitative, fundamental, technical, sell strategy and intellectual property
analyses covering thousands of securities. Jaywalk brings together top
independent research providers on one platform, enabling institutional money
management clients to generate new investment ideas and strategies.
In April 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Beacon Fiduciary Advisors, a privately held asset management firm based on
Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Beacon manages in excess of $700 million for
over 350 high-net-worth individuals nationwide. The Company anticipates that
this transaction will close by the end of May 2002.
In May 2002, the Company acquired Gannet Welsh & Kotler, Inc ("GW&K"), a
privately held asset management firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. GW&K
manages approximately $5 billion for high-net-worth individuals and small to
mid-size institutions located in the Boston area and nationwide. This
acquisition offers both fixed income and equity portfolio management services.
3. 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 between their recorded value and fair value. Fair value is either
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.

4. Capital Transactions
--------------------
As of April 30, 2002, the Company has approximately 6 million common
shares remaining to repurchase under its 16 million share buyback programs.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company filed a new shelf registration
statement. At April 30, 2002, the registration statement has a remaining
capacity of approximately $0.4 billion of debt, preferred stock, preferred
trust securities, or common stock.
5. Earnings Per Share

6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
--------------------------------------
In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal claims
pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of
management, liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have a
material effect upon the Company's consolidated financial statements.

7. Goodwill and Intangibles
------------------------
Effective January 1, 2002, a new accounting standard requires the Company
to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment rather
than amortize them. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and
earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill
amortization net of the related tax effect follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
The Company's actual results of future operations may differ from those
set forth in certain forward looking statements contained herein. Refer to
further discussion under the heading "Forward Looking Statements".
The Company reported first quarter diluted earnings per share of 50
cents, compared with 52 cents earned in the first quarter of 2001 and 45 cents
in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net income of $362 million for the first
quarter was down from $384 million a year ago, but up from $331 million in the
fourth quarter.
As anticipated, activity in the global capital markets continued to be
soft through the first quarter. In particular, global equity trading levels
were disappointing reflecting in part a lack of investor confidence.
Nonetheless, the Company's diversified businesses performed well given the
environment. The Company maintained its leading market share in securities
servicing which positions itself well to capture an increasing share of new
business. The Company continues to actively manage itself for long-term growth
as evidenced by progress on a number of significant objectives during the
quarter. The Company further invested in its technology platform, improved its
risk profile through the reallocation of capital away from loans and equity
investments, and made key acquisitions in several business lines. Full year
earnings will be impacted by the lower starting point in the first quarter,
but the Company remains confident that it will regain its growth trajectory as
investor confidence is restored and the level of capital markets activity
increases.
In securities servicing, fee revenues were $448 million for the first
quarter of 2002, up from $441 million in the fourth quarter. Private client
services and asset management fees increased 6% from the fourth quarter of
2001 to $81 million in the first quarter of 2002. The Company's continued
focus on fee-based businesses resulted in noninterest income growing to 66% of
total revenue in the first quarter, up from 65% on a normalized basis in the
fourth quarter.
Return on average common equity for the first quarter of 2002 was 23.76%
compared with 20.42% and 25.92% in the fourth and first quarters of 2001,
respectively. Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2002 was 1.84%
compared with 1.53% and 2.03% in the fourth and first quarters of 2001,
respectively.
Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses were $448 million
for the first quarter compared with $458 million in the prior year. Corporate
trust was a strong performer in the quarter, benefiting from strong fixed-
income issuances in the corporate, structured, and municipal markets. Global
liquidity services benefited from continued low interest rates, which drove
demand for money market products. Fees were disappointing in the equity-linked
businesses such as depositary receipts ("DRs"), global execution services and
clearing services reflecting the slowdown in global capital markets activity.
The Company's DR business continued to maintain a strong market share, winning
66% of all new public listings, but new capital raisings were scarce in the
first quarter despite a strong backlog of mandates. During the quarter the
Company made several notable but small acquisitions to broaden its global
execution and clearing product line, positioning the Company for enhanced
growth as the equity markets recover. The Company continues to be the world's
leading custodian with assets of $6.9 trillion, including $1.9 trillion of
cross-border custody assets.
Private client services and asset management fees were $81 million for
the quarter, up 3% from $79 million in the first quarter of 2001, resulting
13
from improved market valuations, continued strong flows into alternative
investment funds and demand for the Company's retail investment products.
Global payment services fees increased 6% to $73 million from $69 million
in last year's first quarter. Growth was led by cash management and funds
transfer fees which were up 9% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to last
year's first quarter. The increase reflects customers electing to pay for
services in fees rather than maintaining higher compensating balances in a
declining rate environment. Trade related services were lower, reflecting a
decline in global trade due to weakness in many economies around the world.
Foreign exchange and other trading revenues were lower in the first
quarter of 2002, totaling $63 million compared to $78 million and $83 million
in the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2001, respectively. Foreign
exchange revenues were negatively impacted by a lower volume of client
activity, narrow spreads and decreased volatility. Within other trading
revenues, a decrease in interest rate hedging and risk management business
reflects lower activity levels than last year's record pace.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter
decreased to $425 million from $441 million in the first quarter of 2001.
The provision for credit losses was $35 million in the first quarter of
2002 as credit costs stabilized. As part of its previously announced program
to reallocate capital away from corporate lending and equity investing, the
Company has made significant reductions in its corporate loan commitments.
The Company created an accelerated loan disposition program in the fourth
quarter of 2001 for $758 million emerging telecom exposures with outstandings
of $488 million. At March 31, 2002, exposure had been reduced to $261 million
with related outstandings of $60 million. This action proved to be timely and
contributed to stabilized credit costs in the first quarter.
CAPITAL
Regulators establish certain levels of capital for bank holding companies
and banks, including the Company and The Bank of New York ("the Bank"), in
accordance with established quantitative measurements. In order for the
Company 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 Company are expected by the regulators to be well capitalized. As of March
31, 2002 and 2001, 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:
March 31, 2002 March 31, 2001
--------------------- --------------------- Well Adequately

* Tier 1 capital consists, generally, of common equity and certain qualifying preferred
stock, less goodwill.
**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.
If a bank holding company or bank fails to qualify as "adequately
capitalized", regulatory sanctions and limitations are imposed.

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 also 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 $14.3 billion and $11.1
billion on an average basis at March 31, 2002 and 2001. Stable foreign
deposits, primarily from the Company's European based securities servicing
business, were $25.2 billion and $26.8 billion at March 31, 2002 and 2001.
Savings and other time deposits were $9.6 billion on an average basis at
March 31, 2002 compared to $9.4 billion at March 31, 2001. A significant
reduction in the Company's securities businesses would reduce its access to
foreign deposits.
The Parent has five major sources of liquidity: dividends from its
subsidiaries, a collateralized line of credit with the Bank, the commercial
paper market, a revolving credit agreement with third party financial
institutions, and access to the capital markets.
At March 31, 2002, the amount of dividends The Bank could pay to the
Parent and remain in compliance with federal bank regulatory requirements
was $448 million. This dividend capacity would increase in the remainder of
2002 to the extent of net income, less dividends. Nonbank subsidiaries of
the Parent have liquid assets of approximately $1 billion. These assets
could be liquidated and the proceeds delivered by dividend or loaned to the
Parent.
The Company has a line of credit with The Bank, which is subject to
limits imposed by federal banking law. At March 31, 2002, the Parent could
use the subsidiaries' liquid securities as collateral to allow it to borrow
$527 million rather than liquidate the securities and loan or dividend the
proceeds to the Parent and remain in compliance with federal banking
regulations. The Parent had no borrowings from the Bank at March 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2002, the Parent's average commercial paper borrowings
were $235 million compared with $326 million in 2001. Commercial paper
outstandings were $87 million and $560 million at March 31, 2002 and 2001.
The Company has back-up lines of credit of $350 million at financial
institutions. This line of credit matures in October 2002. The Parent
expects to enter into a replacement line of credit on or before the
maturity. There were no borrowings under the line of credit at March 31,
2002 and March 31, 2001.
15
The Company also has the ability to access the capital markets. The
Company has a shelf registration statement with a remaining capacity of
$390 million of debt, preferred stock, preferred trust securities, or
common stock. The Company expects to file a new shelf registration
statement in the near future. Access to the capital markets is partially
dependent on the Company's credit ratings, which as of April 30, 2002 were
as follows:
The Bank of
Parent Parent Parent Senior New York
Commercial Subordinated Long-Term Long-Term
Paper Long-Term Debt Debt Deposits
----------- --------------- --------------- ------------
Standard & A-1 A A+ AA-
Poor's
Moody's P1 A-1 Aa3 Aa2
Fitch F1+ A+ AA- AA
The Parent's major uses of funds are payment of principal and interest
on its borrowings, acquisitions, and additional investment in its
subsidiaries.
The Parent has $932 million of long-term debt that becomes due in
2002. In addition, at March 31, 2002 the Parent has the option to call $375
million of debt in the remainder of 2002 and 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 $400 million of trust preferred securities that are
callable in September 2002. These securities qualify as Tier 1 Capital. The
Company may decide to call these securities. The final decision to call
will be based on interest rates and the availability of cash and capital at
the call date. If the Company calls the trust preferred securities, it
anticipates that it would replace them with new senior 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, 2002 and 2001 was 98.39% and
102.35%. 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.

Total noninterest income was $810 million compared with $858 million in
last year's first quarter. Securities servicing fees were $448 million
compared with $458 million a year ago. Global payment services fees for the
quarter were $73 million, up 6% from $69 million a year ago. Fees from private
client services and asset management were $81 million, up 3% from the first
quarter of 2001. Service charges and fees were $83 million, compared to $89
million and $90 million in the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2001,
respectively. This reflects lower loan syndication and capital markets fees
from slow market activity and the Company's plan to reduce corporate loan
commitments. Securities gains were $31 million, which compares to $40 million
in the fourth quarter of 2001 and $45 million a year ago, reflecting the
Company's decision to reduce capital allocated to equity investing activities
for reinvestment in higher growth and more stable fee-based businesses. Other
income was $31 million compared to $208 million in the fourth quarter of 2001,
when the Company recognized insurance recoveries of $175 million relating to
the World Trade Center ("WTC") disaster, and $34 million a year ago.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $425 million in the
first quarter of 2002 compared with $452 million in the fourth quarter of 2001
and $441 million in the first quarter of 2001. The net interest rate spread
was 2.30% in the first quarter of 2002, compared with 2.15% in the fourth
quarter of 2001 and 1.79% one year ago. The net yield on interest earning
assets was 2.63% compared with 2.55% in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 2.75%
in last year's first quarter.
The decline from the fourth quarter in net interest income is primarily
due to several factors, including: a repositioning for a rising interest rate
environment; reduced broker/dealer activity in the first quarter; compression
on spreads from low cost core deposits; and fewer days in the quarter. In
addition, the Company continued to reduce its investment in loans, increasing
its investment in highly rated securities.
Interest income would have been increased by $4 million and $3 million
for the first quarters of 2002 and 2001 if loans on nonaccrual status at March
31, 2002 and 2001 had been performing for the entire period.

The Company manages trading risk through a system of position limits,
a value at risk (VAR) methodology, based on a Monte Carlo simulation, stop
loss advisory triggers, and other market sensitivity measures. Risk is
monitored and reported to senior management by an independent unit on a
daily basis. The VAR methodology captures, based on certain assumptions,
the potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse changes in fair
values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one day holding
period for most instruments, utilizes a 99% confidence level, and
incorporates the non-linear characteristics of options. As the VAR
methodology does not evaluate risk attributable to extraordinary financial,
economic or other occurrences, the risk assessment process includes a
number of stress scenarios based upon the risk factors in the portfolio and
19
management's assessment of market conditions. Additional stress scenarios
based upon historic market events are also tested.
The following table indicates the calculated VAR amounts for the trading
portfolio for the periods indicated. During these periods, the daily trading
loss did not exceed the calculated VAR amounts on any given day.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2002 improved to $641
million, versus $667 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 and $653 million in
the first quarter of 2001. As a result of applying a new accounting
pronouncement related to goodwill and intangibles, amortization in the first
quarter of 2002 declined to $2 million compared with $29 million in the fourth
and first quarters of 2001. Excluding the effect of the change in goodwill
amortization, expenses were essentially flat compared with the prior quarter.
Management's expectation of continued weakness in capital markets activity
resulted in strict control of operating expenses in the first quarter,
including staffing and related expenses. These actions helped to offset higher
costs related to acquisitions and technology spending.
The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2002 was 53.3% compared
with 53.7% on a normalized basis in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 51.9% in
the first quarter of 2001.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2002 was 33.7% compared
with 33.8% in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 36.1% in the first quarter a year
ago. The decline in the rate from a year ago reflects an increase in tax
credits and fewer nondeductible expenses.

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 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Two
of the Company's more critical accounting policies are those related to the
allowance for credit losses and to the valuation of derivatives and securities
where quoted market prices are not available.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses is principally
determined using an expected loss model driven by Probability of Default and
Loss Given Default ratings. Ratings are assigned after analyzing the credit
quality of each borrower and the collateral/structure of each individual
asset. These ratings are periodically compared to internal company and
external rating agency default and loss databases to ensure consistency. Other
factors used in establishing the allocated portion of the allowance include
forecasts of future cash flows and maturity.
The Company's unallocated allowance is based on management's judgment.
Factors that influence this judgment include:
- Economic conditions, including duration of the current cycle
- Past experience, including recent loss experience
- 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
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.
VALUATION OF DERIVATIVES AND SECURITIES WHERE QUOTED MARKET PRICES ARE NOT
AVAILABLE
When quoted market prices are not available, derivatives and securities
values are determined based on discounted cash flow analysis, comparison to
similar instruments, and the use of financial models. 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 external parties.
These valuation methods could expose the Company to materially different
results should the models used or underlying assumptions be inaccurate.

primarily reflects a loan to a major retailer which became nonperforming in
the first quarter of 2002.

The allowance for credit losses 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 borrowers, 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 assignment of
loss factors to the remaining pools of credit exposure. The loss factors
are based on the expected average credit losses. Loss factors are
periodically compared to rating agency and other default data bases to
determine their validity. Commercial loans over $1 million are individually
analyzed before being assigned to a risk pool. All current consumer loans
are included in the pass rated consumer pools.
23
The fourth element - an 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
- 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
Based on a review of these elements, the allowance for credit losses was
$616 million, or 1.74% of loans at March 31, 2002, compared with $616 million,
or 1.72% of loans at December 31, 2001 and $616 million, or 1.66% of loans at
March 31, 2001. The ratio of the allowance to nonperforming assets was 223.8%
at March 31, 2002, compared with 277.6% at December 31, 2001 and 295.7% at
March 31, 2001.
Applying the four elements to the various segments of the loan portfolio
results in an allocation of the allowance for credit losses as follows:
3/31/02 12/31/01
------- --------
Domestic
Real Estate 6% 6%
Commercial 70 75
Consumer 1 1
Foreign 9 7
Unallocated 14 11
--- ---
100% 100%
=== ===
Such an allocation is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for
credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of
the loss.
24
WORLD TRADE CENTER DISASTER
The Company's insurance claim has been segmented into four major
components. The Company has presented estimated losses for 3 of the 4
categories to its insurance carriers. The last should be submitted by the end
of the second quarter. There is still a verification and negotiation process
to take place but the Company expects to receive an additional significant
advance in the near future.
The Company has developed a migration plan for returning to its downtown
facilities. The reoccupation has begun and is expected to be completed by the
end of the third quarter. The Company's diversification plans include moving
some staff to other locations including new space in the metropolitan area as
well as to growth centers in Syracuse, New York and Orlando, Florida. In the
meantime, the Company continues to operate from several interim facilities in
Manhattan.
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company incurred $23 million in
expenses associated with these interim arrangements that were netted against
an offsetting insurance recovery. The Company believes these expenses are
recoverable under the terms of its all-risk insurance policy. The cumulative
WTC-related insurance recoveries the Company has recorded are now about $200
million. Further costs associated with the interim facilities and any losses
on sub-leases will be treated similarly.
25
SEGMENT PROFITABILITY
Segment Data
The Company has an internal information system that produces performance
data for its four business segments along product and service lines.
The Servicing and Fiduciary businesses segment provides a broad array of

Segment Highlights
Servicing and Fiduciary Businesses
----------------------------------
In the first quarter of 2002, noninterest income was $651 million
compared with $672 million in 2001.
Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses were $448 million
for the first quarter compared with $458 million in the prior year. Corporate
trust was a strong performer in the quarter, benefiting from strong fixed-
income issuances in the corporate, structured, and municipal markets. Global
liquidity services benefited from continued low interest rates, which drove
demand for money market products. Fees were disappointing in the equity-linked
businesses such as depositary receipts ("DRs"), global execution services and
clearing services reflecting the slowdown in global capital markets activity.
The Company's DR business continued to maintain a strong market share, winning
66% of all new public listings, but new capital raisings were scarce in the
first quarter despite a strong backlog of mandates. During the quarter the
Company made several notable but small acquisitions to broaden its global
execution and clearing product line, positioning the Company for enhanced
growth as the equity markets recover. The Company continues to be the world's
leading custodian with assets under custody of $6.9 trillion at March 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001, including $1.9 trillion of cross-border assets in both
periods.
Private client services and asset management fees were $81 million for
the quarter, up 3% from $79 million in the first quarter of 2001, resulting
from improved market valuations, continued strong flows into alternative
investment funds and demand for the Company's retail investment products.
Assets under management were $71 billion while assets under administration
were $32.5 billion at March 31, 2002.
Global payment services fees increased 6% to $73 million from $69 million
in last year's first quarter. Growth was led by cash management and funds
transfer fees which were up 9% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to last
year's first quarter. The increase reflects customers electing to pay for
services in fees rather than maintaining higher compensating balances in a
declining rate environment. Trade related services were lower, reflecting a
decline in global trade due to weakness in many economies around the world.
Net interest income in the Servicing and Fiduciary businesses segment was
$121 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared with $166 million in 2001.
The decrease in net interest income is primarily due to a decline in interest
rates, which lowers the value of low-cost deposits generated by these
businesses.
Net charge-offs in the Servicing and Fiduciary Businesses segment were
zero in the first quarters of 2002 and 2001. Noninterest expense for the first
quarter of 2002 was $452 million compared with $432 million in 2001. The rise
in noninterest expense is attributable to acquisitions, as well as the
Company's continued investment in technology.
Corporate Banking
-----------------
The Corporate Banking segment's net interest income was $105 million in
the first quarter of 2002, compared with last year's $128 million. The
decrease reflects the decline in assets, particularly from financial
institutions, as well as a decline in both the volume and the value of low
cost short-term deposits.
27
The first quarter of 2002 provision for credit losses was $27 million
compared with $31 million last year. The decrease principally reflects a
reduction in corporate credit exposure in 2002. Net charge-offs in the
Corporate Banking segment were $29 million and $27 million in the first
quarters of 2002 and 2001. Noninterest income was $69 million in the current
year compared with $77 million last year. This reflects lower loan syndication
and capital markets fees from slow market activity and the Company's plan to
reduce corporate loan commitments. Total loan commitments declined to $42.4
billion at March 31, 2002 from $45.8 billion at December 31, 2001. Noninterest
expenses were $46 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared with $59
million in 2001 reflecting lower compensation expenses.
Retail Banking
--------------
In the Retail Banking segment, net interest income in the first quarter
of 2002 was $113 million compared with $128 million in 2001 reflecting a
decline in the value of demand deposits in a lower interest rate environment.
Noninterest income was $30 million for the quarter compared with $27 million
last year. The increase reflects better penetration of the customer base and
improved pricing. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2002 was $81
million compared with $77 million in the previous year's period because of
higher compensation and technology expenses. Net charge-offs increased to $6
million in the first quarter of 2002 from $3 million in the first quarter of
2001 due to higher loss experience in the consumer loan portfolio.
Financial Markets
-----------------
In the Financial Markets segment, net interest income for the quarter was
$85 million compared with $26 million in 2001 reflecting both an increase in
assets, primarily asset backed securities, as well as lower funding costs.
Noninterest income was $53 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared with
$74 million in the first quarter of 2001, as both foreign exchange and
interest rate derivative trading results were adversely affected by narrower
spreads and decreased volatility. Net charge-offs were zero in the first
quarters of 2002 and 2001.
Segment 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 organizational changes are made. In
the first quarter of 2002, the Company changed certain assumptions related to
the duration of sector assets and liabilities and the related interest rates.
As a result, sector results for 2001 were restated.
The measure of revenues and profit or loss by operating segment has been
adjusted to present segment data on a taxable equivalent basis. The provision
for credit losses allocated to each reportable segment is based on
management's judgment as to average credit losses that will be incurred in the
operations of the segment over a credit cycle of a period of years.
Management's judgment includes the following factors among others: historical
charge-off experience and the volume, composition and growth of the loan
portfolio. This method is different from that required under generally
accepted accounting principles as it anticipates future losses which are not
yet probable and therefore not recognizable under generally accepted
accounting principles. Assets and liabilities are match funded. Support and
other indirect expenses are allocated to segments based on general internal
guidelines.
28
Reconciling Items
-----------------
Reconciling items for net interest income primarily relate to the
recording of interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, reallocation of
capital and the funding of goodwill and intangibles. Reconciling items for
noninterest income primarily relate to the sale of certain securities.
Reconciling items for noninterest expense include $2 million and $29 million
of amortization of intangibles in the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, and
corporate overhead. The adjustment to the provision for credit losses reflects
the difference between the aggregate of the credit provision over a credit
cycle for the reportable segments and the Company's recorded provision. The
reconciling items for average assets consist of goodwill and other intangible
assets.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information presented with respect to, among other things, earnings
outlook, projected business strategy, the outcome of legal and investigatory
proceedings, the Company's plans, objectives and strategies reallocating
assets and moving into fee-based businesses, future loan losses and planned
capital expenditures, is forward looking information. Forward looking
statements are the Company's current estimates or expectations of future
events or future results.
The Company or its executive officers and directors on behalf of the
Company, may from time to time make forward looking statements. When used in
this report, any press release or oral statements, the words "estimate",
"forecast", "project", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe", "plan",
"goal", "should", "may", "strategy", and words of like import are intended to
identify forward looking statements in addition to statements specifically
identified as forward looking statements.
Forward looking statements, including the Company's future results of
operations and discussions of future plans contained in Management's
Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, 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, projections or future plans, could be affected by a number of
factors that the Company is necessarily unable to predict with accuracy,
including the economic and other effects of the WTC disaster and the
subsequent U.S. military action, lower than expected performance or higher
than expected costs in connection with acquisitions and integration of
acquired businesses, changes in relationships with customers, variations in
management projections or market forecasts and the actions that management
could take in response to these changes, management's ability to achieve
efficiency goals, changes in customer credit quality, future changes in
interest rates, general credit quality, the levels of economic, capital
market, cross-border investing and merger and acquisition activity, consumer
behavior, government monetary policy, domestic and foreign legislation,
regulation and investigation, competition, credit, market and operating risk,
and loan demand, as well as the pace of recovery of the domestic economy,
market demand for the Company's products and services and future global
economic conditions. This is not an exhaustive list and as a result of
variations in any of these factors actual results may differ materially from
any forward looking statements.
Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The
Company will not update forward looking statements to reflect facts,
assumptions, circumstances or events which have changed after a forward
looking statement was made.
29
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.
Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, and
credit unions actively compete for deposits, and money market funds and
brokerage houses offer deposit-like services. These institutions, as well as
consumer and commercial finance companies, national retail chains, factors,
insurance companies and pension trusts, are important competitors for various
types of loans. Issuers of commercial paper compete actively for funds and
reduce demand for bank loans. For personal and corporate trust services and
investment counseling services, insurance companies, investment counseling
firms, and other business firms and individuals offer active competition. A
wide variety of domestic and foreign companies compete for processing
services.

PART 2. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
--------------------------
The Company continues to cooperate with investigations by federal and
state law enforcement and bank regulatory authorities. The investigations
focus on funds transfer activities in certain accounts at the Bank,
principally involving wire transfers from Russian and other sources in Eastern
Europe, as well as certain other matters involving the Bank and its
affiliates. The funds transfer investigations center around accounts
controlled by Peter Berlin, his wife, Lucy Edwards (until discharged in
September 1999, an officer of the Bank), and companies and persons associated
with them. Berlin and Edwards pled guilty to various federal criminal charges.
The Company cannot predict when or on what basis the investigations will
conclude or their effect, if any, on the Company.
On February 8, 2000, the Bank entered into a written agreement with both
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York State Banking
Department, which imposed a number of reporting requirements and controls.
Substantially all of these reporting requirements and controls are now in
place.
Four purported shareholder derivative actions have been filed in
connection with these Russian related matters - - two in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and two in the New York
Supreme Court, New York County - - against certain directors and officers of
the Company and the Bank alleging that the defendants have breached their
fiduciary duties of due care and loyalty by aggressively pursuing business
with Russian banks and entities without implementing sufficient safeguards and
failing to supervise properly those responsible for that business. The actions
seek, on behalf of the Company and the Bank, monetary damages from the
defendants, corrective action and attorneys' fees. On September 1, 2000,
plaintiffs in the two federal actions filed an amended, consolidated complaint
that names all of the directors and certain officers of the Bank and the
Company as defendants, repeats the allegations of the original complaints and
adds allegations that certain officers of the Bank and the Company
participated in a scheme to transfer cash improperly from Russia to various
off-shore accounts and to avoid Russian customs, currency and tax laws.
Management believes that the allegations of both the original complaints and
the amended complaint are without merit. On September 12, 2000, the boards of
directors of the Bank and the Company authorized a Special Litigation
Committee ("SLC") to consider the response of the Bank and the Company to the
state and federal court shareholder derivative actions. The SLC issued an
Interim Report dated May 21, 2001 which concluded that there was "no credible
evidence" to support the allegations of personal misconduct against Mr. Renyi
and "credible evidence" that contradicts "critical allegations" in the amended
complaint in the federal action.
On August 31, 2001, defendants moved to dismiss the two actions filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On
November 27, 2001, the federal district court granted defendants' motion and
dismissed the two actions. On December 19, 2001, plaintiffs filed a Notice of
Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Argument
on that appeal is expected in the fall of 2002.
On February 1, 2002, counsel for plaintiffs in the two federal court
actions filed a shareholder derivative action in New York Supreme Court, New
York County that made allegations substantially similar to the two federal
court actions that were dismissed. The Company and the Bank requested that
the New York State Supreme Court issue an order consolidating the new state
court shareholder derivative action with the two shareholder derivative
actions previously filed. Plaintiffs in the new shareholder derivative action
have opposed consolidation. The issue of consolidation is awaiting resolution
by the court.
32
The two previously filed state court derivative actions, which do not
include any allegations of personal misconduct, are still pending. The
parties are currently undertaking court-appointed mediation.
Additionally, on October 7, 1999, six alleged depositors of Joint Stock
Bank Inkombank ("Inkombank"), a Russian bank, filed a purported class action
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on
behalf of all depositors of Inkombank who lost their deposits when that bank
collapsed in 1998. The complaint, as subsequently amended twice, alleges that
the Company and the Bank and their senior officers knew about, and aided and
abetted the looting of Inkombank by its principals and participated in a
scheme to transfer cash improperly from Russia to various off-shore accounts
and to avoid Russian customs, currency and tax laws. The amended complaint
asserts causes of action for conversion and aiding and abetting conversion
under New York law. In addition, the amended complaint states a claim under
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). On March 21,
2001, the court dismissed the second amended complaint without leave to
replead. On January 14, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit vacated the dismissal of the Second Amended Complaint because
it disagreed with one ground of the district court's dismissal, and remanded
the case to the lower court to consider alternate bases for dismissal. On
March 19, 2002, the Company and the Bank filed a motion to dismiss the second
amended complaint; that motion will be heard later this year. The Company and
the Bank believe that the allegations made in this action are without merit,
and intend to defend the action vigorously.
On October 24, 2000, three alleged shareholders of Inkombank filed an
action in the Supreme Court, New York County against the Company, the Bank and
Inkombank. The complaint alleges that the defendants fraudulently induced the
plaintiffs to refrain from redeeming their alleged $40 million investment in
Inkombank. The complaint asserts a single cause of action for fraud, seeking
$40 million plus 12% interest from January 1994, punitive damages, costs,
interest and attorney fees. On January 8, 2001, the Company and the Bank moved
to dismiss the complaint as against them. On January 10, 2002, the Court
denied that motion. On January 25, 2002, the Company and the Bank filed their
answer to plaintiffs' complaint. On February 14, 2002, the Company and the
Bank filed a motion asking the court for leave to reargue their motion to
dismiss the complaint. That motion is awaiting resolution by the court. The
Company and the Bank believe that the allegations of the complaint are without
merit and intend to defend the action vigorously.
The Company does not expect that any of the foregoing civil actions will
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal claims
pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of
management, liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
