                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL REPORTING MATTERS

Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial information presented in
Management's Discussion and Analysis has been prepared on a basis consistent
with the financial accounting policies set forth in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

    In this Form 8-K we make certain forward-looking statements with respect
to the financial condition, results of operations and business of U.S. Trust
Corporation (individually, the "Parent") and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, with the Parent, the "Corporation"). These forward-looking
statements may contain words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates,"
"estimates" or similar expressions.

    We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance.
They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in the forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the
following:

-   Competitive pressures in the investment or asset management, corporate
    fiduciary or private banking industries may increase significantly.

-   General economic or business conditions, or volatility in the equity, fixed
    income and real estate markets, may be unfavorable. Such economic
    environments could result in, among other things, a reduced demand for
    asset management or other financial services, or a decline in assets under
    management over a short or an extended time period. Fee revenues and net
    interest revenue could be negatively impacted by such events.

-   Legislative changes, including but not limited to legislation related to
    income and estate tax matters, and regulatory changes in banking or other
    businesses the Corporation engages in, may adversely affect its financial
    condition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PENDING BUSINESS COMBINATION

The Parent has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger
Agreement") dated January 12, 2000 with The Charles Schwab Corporation
("Schwab") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab pursuant to which all of the
outstanding common shares of the Parent will be exchanged for shares of Schwab
common stock. The transaction, which is subject to, among other things,
regulatory approvals and Parent shareholder approval, is expected to be
consummated by July 2000. If the transaction is consummated, the Parent will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab.

    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Parent's shareholders will
receive 3.427 shares of Schwab common stock for each common share of the
Parent. The Parent and Schwab expect the transaction to qualify for pooling of
interest accounting treatment. See Note 1 to Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.

    A number of comments included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis
(e.g., financial performance objectives, earnings per share) presume that the
Corporation is a going concern and do not attempt to take into consideration
the impact, if any, that the pending business combination may have on the
matters discussed therein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

Management evaluates the five financial performance objectives set forth below
on a continual basis. The financial performance objectives are not quarterly
targets; rather, they represent management's current assessment of the
long-term capabilities of the Corporation in the present environment. Interim
period results may exceed or fall short of some or all of these financial
performance objectives. Such results may not necessarily be indicative that a
change should be made in the Corporation's long-term financial performance
objectives, but more likely would be indicative of specific transactions or
events that occurred within a given period. However, external facts and
circumstances, including changes in banking regulations and income tax
policies, may occur and require the Corporation to adjust its long-term
financial performance objectives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Revenues

Total revenues are expected to increase in the range of 8% to 12% per year.
Management believes that total revenues will grow at the upper end of this
range over the foreseeable future. Total revenues increased by approximately
23% during 1999, 19% during 1998 and 15% during 1997. Revenue growth in 1997
through 1999 primarily was a result of strong new business and the overall
appreciation in the equity market during this period.

    There are several factors that either will contribute to or impede the
Corporation from meeting and maintaining this financial performance objective.

                                       1
<PAGE>   6
    Fee revenue growth is enhanced through direct sales efforts, additions to
existing customer relationships, continued national expansion and selected
penetration in existing geographic markets, targeted acquisitions and market
appreciation. Fee revenue growth is adversely affected by distributions of
funds from client accounts, lost business relationships and market
depreciation. Changes in personal, capital gains or estate tax laws,
regulations and other external factors will also affect the rate of fee revenue
growth.

    The level of net interest revenue is dependent upon several factors,
including loan demand, credit quality, regulatory capital requirements, federal
and state income tax policies and the Federal Reserve Board's interest rate
setting policies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Tax Margin

Management believes that the Corporation can meet its objective to improve
pre-tax margin to 25% over the next several years. The Corporation's pre-tax
margin was 23.6% for 1999, 22.9% for 1998 and 22.4% for 1997. The Corporation's
ability to achieve this financial objective will be based upon several factors,
including the growth rate of total revenues, continued control over recurring
operating expenses, the pace of investment in national expansion and the
maturation of prior years national expansion efforts. Barring an extreme and
prolonged market decline, management anticipates that achieving this financial
objective will constrain neither its national expansion program nor its
selective acquisitions of investment advisors in strategic geographic
locations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Per Share

Management believes that the operating leverage resulting from meeting its
revenue and pre-tax margin objectives will enable the Corporation to increase
diluted earnings per share in the range of 15% to 20% per year. Several
factors, including statutory changes in federal, state and local corporate
income tax rates, common stock repurchases and the dilutive effect of stock
options, will affect this financial performance objective. Diluted earnings per
share improved by 25.7% during 1999, 23.8% during 1998 and 22.6% during 1997.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return on Stockholders' Equity

Management has set the Return on Stockholders' Equity ("ROE") objective to
exceed 25% over the next several years. ROE for 1999 was 29.2%, 26.2% in 1998
and 22.8% in 1997.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Pay-Out Ratio

The Corporation's dividend pay-out ratio is anticipated to range between 25%
and 35% of annual net income. Retained capital will be available for
acquisitions, business expansion, stock buy back programs and other management
initiatives. In periods in which earnings per share growth exceeds its expected
range, the dividend pay-out ratio likely will be either at the lower end or
below the targeted range. The dividend pay-out ratio was 23.7% during 1999,
24.3% during 1998 and 25.1% during 1997.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BUSINESSES OF U.S. TRUST

The Corporation has two principal businesses: Personal Wealth Management
Services and Institutional Services. Personal Wealth Management Services is
further delineated into two components -- New York Wealth Management Services
("New York") and National Wealth Management Services ("National").

    Principal competitors of the Corporation are other investment management
companies, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and banking institutions. No
one competitor or industry dominates the markets in which the Corporation
engages. The following provides a description of services provided by these
businesses and their markets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Wealth Management Services

The Corporation provides a complete array of financial services for affluent
individuals and families. These services, defined as Personal Wealth Management
Services, include investment management (domestic and international equity,
fixed income and alternative investments, such as private equity and real
estate), investment consulting, trust, financial and estate planning and
private banking. Personal Wealth Management Services are provided through New
York and National. The Corporation has been well established in the New York
Wealth Management business for many years. More recently, the Corporation has
expanded its presence beyond New York through national expansion resulting in
the establishment of its National Wealth Management business. The Corporation
anticipates that its national expansion will continue over the next several
years.

                                       2

<PAGE>   7

    The cornerstone of the Corporation's services to the personal market in
both its New York and National businesses is investment management. At December
31, 1999, personal assets under management were approximately $59.6 billion.
The Corporation views the personal investment market in three sectors and has
tailored its products and service delivery to each.

    Personal Wealth Management's primary market sector consists of individuals
with $2 million to $50 million in investable assets. The Corporation provides
to these clients both individually managed balanced accounts and specialized
investment management services. These clients are offered and generally utilize
the Corporation's other wealth management services.

    The second sector of the personal market includes clients in the wealth
accumulation phase, with $250,000 to as much as $2 million in financial assets.
In this sector, the Corporation offers Wealth Advisory Accounts; an investment
advisory service that utilizes the U.S. Trust-advised Excelsior family of
mutual funds.

    The third personal market sector is comprised of clients who have over $50
million in investable assets and whose financial needs are particularly
complex. In addition to investment management services, the Corporation offers
to these clients specialized fiduciary, financial planning, enhanced master
custody and philanthropic consulting services. The Corporation provides
counseling to this sector regarding the development of tax-intelligent
investment policies and the selection and monitoring of investment managers.

    In addition, the Corporation provides the private equity community with
expertise on in-kind stock distributions, liquidation of securities positions
as agent, and hedging transactions for high-net-worth individuals who
frequently face complex issues involving the disposition of low-cost-basis
stock.

    The Corporation offers private banking services to meet the credit and
liquidity requirements for all of its Personal Wealth Management clients. These
services include mortgage and personal lending vehicles and an array of deposit
taking products.

    A major strategy for the growth of the Corporation's Personal Wealth
Management business has been national expansion. Personal Wealth Management
clients usually prefer services to be delivered locally. The Corporation has
established affiliates throughout the United States: California, Connecticut,
Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington
D.C.

    The Corporation has placed heavy emphasis on the sales effort supporting
the Personal Wealth Management business, including in recent years a 50 percent
increase in the total staff dedicated to sales and an innovative sales
incentive program for all employees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Institutional Services

Institutional Services includes investment management, corporate trust,
brokerage and special fiduciary services for corporations, endowments,
foundations, pension plans and other institutional clients.

    The Corporation's institutional investment management business provides a
wide range of investment options for its clients, including balanced and
specialized domestic and international equity investment styles, structured
investments, alternative investments, fixed-income vehicles and short-term cash
management. Institutional clients can also utilize the U.S. Trust's Excelsior
mutual fund family, which offers all major asset classes and both active and
passive management styles.

    Institutional Services also includes investment, consulting and fiduciary
services to employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) that invest in significant
blocks of employer stock. The Corporation specializes in providing these special
fiduciary services to large, complex plans and believes it is the preeminent
provider of such services to this market.

    At December 31, 1999, the Corporation managed approximately $26.5 billion
for its institutional clients of which approximately $12 billion is related to
the Corporation's special fiduciary services. The remaining assets managed by
Institutional include those of endowments, pension plans and other not-for
-profit and institutional clients.

    The Corporation is among the top 10 trustees in the country that provide
trust, agency and related services to public and private corporations,
municipalities and other financial enterprises. The Corporation's strategy is
to develop long-term relationships that will generate recurring business. The
aggregate principal amount of assets administered by corporate trust exceeds
$330 billion at December 31, 1999.

    For the twelfth consecutive year the Corporation was the leading trustee in
New York State for new municipal debt issues, and was also ranked among the top
five nationally for new municipal debt issues. Providing support for complex
new types of securities, such as derivatives and securitized transactions,
continues to be the fastest growing

aspect of the corporate trust business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Segment Financial Results

Business segment results are presented in order to reflect financial
performance and strategic direction. Fee revenue is generally credited to the
segment that has the contractual relationship with the client. Allocated net
interest revenue is credited to each segment based upon the level of financial
instruments managed by the segment, after taking into effect the internally
developed cost of fund transfers. All costs directly attributable to a business
segment are charged directly to that segment. These costs include salaries,
performance compensation, sales commissions and incentives, employee benefits,
occupancy and all other operating costs. The amortization of intangibles
resulting from a business combination is charged to the segment that manages
the acquired business. Corporate expenses are charged to the segments based
upon management's determination of the direct or indirect benefits realized by
each segment utilizing such corporate services.

Segment results are based upon estimates and judgments. Internal management
accounting reflects the way management views its businesses and may not be
comparable to other financial institutions. Segment comparability between
reporting periods is achieved by periodic restatement to conform to changes in
organizational structure and changes in allocation policies.

    The following information reflects operating performance by segment for the
three years ended December 31, 1999.

The Personal Wealth Management segment's compounded fee revenue growth rate has
exceeded 23% over the past three years. Fee revenue for the New York component
of the Personal Wealth Management segment has grown at a compounded growth rate
in excess of 18% over the same three-year period whereas the National
component's fee revenue growth rate has exceeded 38%. Fee revenue growth is
attributable to new business, the overall strength in the financial markets and
acquisitions.

    Allocated net interest revenue attributable to the Personal Wealth
Management segment has grown at a compounded growth rate in excess of 15%. New
York and National's compounded growth rates were 14% and 21%, respectively. The
increase in allocated net interest is principally attributable to the growth in
private banking activities.

    Personal Wealth Management's profit margin increased modestly to 22.8% in
1999 from 22.3% in 1997. The improvement was realized during a period of
significant national expansion.

    New York's profit margin was 29.2% in 1999, improving from 26.9% in 1998
and 25.6% in 1997. New York, the cornerstone of the Corporation's Personal
Wealth Management segment, continues to increase its penetration in one of the
largest concentrations of wealth in the United States.

    National's profit margin was 7.9% in 1999, 9.5% in 1998 and 12.1% in 1997.
The absolute levels and volatility in National's profit margins are reflective
of the Corporation's continuing investment in its national expansion strategy.
National provides each new location with the Corporation's full array of
Personal Wealth Management service capabilities. The personnel and
infrastructure costs incurred to provide these services are charged directly to
National. In addition, costs incurred to acquire investment management firms
managed by National, including the amortization of intangibles, are borne by
National. As a result, it is anticipated that the profit contribution from
National will continue to fluctuate, reflecting the Corporation's ability to
invest in new markets as it expands its national presence.

    Institutional's compounded fee revenue growth rate has exceeded 10% over
the past three years. Institutional's allocated net interest revenue has
increased 8.5% in 1999 compared to 1998 and remained relatively flat in 1998 as
compared to 1997. Institutional receives interest revenue credit principally
from the customer deposits generated from its corporate trust activities.
Corporate trust's deposit base increased during 1998 and 1999. The increasing
interest rate environment in 1999 increased the interest-credit rates the
Corporation allocates to deposit generating businesses.

    Institutional's profit margin has increased from 22.6% in 1997 to 26.9% in
1999. Institutional's profit contribution is attributable to the continued
strength of the segment's corporate trust and special fiduciary businesses as
well as the segment's further penetration in the institutional investment
management market throughout the United States. Institutional assets under
management decreased by $1.8 billion in 1999 compared with 1998 primarily as a
result of institutional assets withdrawn from the Campbell Cowperthwait
division.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Corporation recorded record net income of $77.6 million in 1999, compared
to net income of $61.7 million in 1998 and $51.0 million in 1997. On a diluted
basis, earnings per share was $3.72 in 1999, versus $2.96 in 1998 and $2.39 in
1997.

</TABLE>

Fee revenue increased 25.0% in 1999 from 1998 and increased 20.6% in 1998 from
1997. The increase in fee revenue during these periods was attributable to
strong new business, selective acquisitions and the overall appreciation in the
equity market.

     Approximately 80% of fee revenue is sensitive to changes in equity and
fixed income market investments. In general, fee revenue is influenced by a
variety of factors, including growth or decline of stock, fixed income and real
estate market levels, new business, acquisitions, changes in fee rate schedules
and added services. Fee revenue is negatively impacted by the outflow of
investment management assets due to terminating trusts, client withdrawals,
income and estate taxes and lost business. Fee revenue related to market
conditions is determined on a sliding scale so that as the value of a client's
portfolio grows in size; the Corporation earns a smaller percentage on the
increasing account value. Therefore, market value or other incremental changes
in a portfolio's size may not typically have a proportionate impact on the
level of fee revenue. In general, fee revenue is calculated quarterly based
upon the value of the prior quarters' assets under management. Another
important factor in the determination of fee revenues is the type of assets
under management. Depending on how assets

                                       6

<PAGE>   11

under management are invested, fluctuations in any one market will not
necessarily have a proportionate impact on the overall level of fee revenue.
The following is a comparative analysis of the composition of assets under
management.

Investment management assets increased by 20.2% in 1999 and by 29.8% in 1998
and 24.4% in 1997. During 1999, the Corporation acquired Radnor Capital
Management, Inc., and NCT Holdings, Inc. which, in the aggregate, managed
approximately $2.8 billion in personal and institutional assets at the
acquisition dates (see Note 3 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).

    The Corporation's Excelsior Funds totaled $9.5 billion assets under
management at December 31, 1999, compared with $7.5 billion as of December 31,
1998 and $5.9 billion as of December 31, 1997.

Net interest revenue is affected by changes in the absolute levels of interest
rates and shifts in the term structure of interest rates, funding and hedging
strategies, and the impact of changes in the credit quality of interest earning
financial instruments. The net yield on interest earning assets for the year
ended December 31, 1999 has increased moderately from the corresponding 1998
period. Average interest earning assets increased by 13.7% to approximately
$3.7 billion as of December 31, 1999 compared to a 7.0% increase between 1998
and 1997.

Operating expenses increased by $73.4 million in 1999, $51.4 million in 1998
and $35.7 million in 1997. The Corporation's pre-tax margin was 23.6%, 22.9%
and 22.4% for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                                       8

    Salaries and other employee benefits increased $25.2 million in 1999 an
increase of 16.8% from the total of $150.3 million in 1998. Salaries and other
employee benefits increased $24.4 million in 1998 an increase of 19.3% from the
total of $125.9 million in 1997. The number of full-time equivalent employees
increased 10.2% to 1,940 at December 31, 1999 and increased 14.5% to 1,761 at
December 31, 1998, from 1,538 at December 31, 1997. The increase in employees
is attributable to acquisitions and internal growth required to meet an
expanding customer base.

    Performance compensation is determined based upon the Corporation's
financial performance as measured by the Corporation's diluted earnings per
share, adjusted to offset the impact, if any, of extraordinary or nonrecurring
events, or other conditions or circumstances that warrant consideration.
Performance compensation increased $17.3 million in 1999, an increase of 42.1%
from the total of $41.0 million in 1998. Performance compensation increased $8.6
million in 1998, an increase of 26.3% from $32.5 million in 1997. Included in
performance compensation is amortization of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")
awarded to certain employees (see Note 19 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on RSUs). Amortization of RSUs totaled
$4.2 million in 1999, $2.6 million in 1998 and $1.1 million in 1997. The
increases in performance compensation and amortization of RSUs is due to the
Corporation's strong financial performance and the increase in staffing levels.

    Sales commissions and incentives increased $9.6 million in 1999, an
increase of 49.2% from the total of $19.4 million in 1998. Sales commissions
and incentives increased $5.4 million in 1998, an increase of 38.4% from the
total of $14.1 million in 1997. These increases reflect the Corporation's
strong emphasis on sales. The Corporation makes a substantial commitment to
sales, marketing and advertising. As of December 31, 1999, 173 employees were
devoted to these functions compared to 145 employees as of December 31, 1998
and 116 employees as of December 31, 1997. As a percentage of total staff,
dedicated sales, marketing and advertising employees comprised 8.9% at December
31, 1999 compared to 8.2% and 7.5% at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Direct expenses associated with these functions, including salary and other
employee benefits, performance compensation and sales commissions and
incentives, were $55.1 million, $40.8 million and $29.5 million for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition to the
aforementioned expenses, occupancy expense directly allocable to these
functions amounted to approximately $2.7 million, $2.5 million and $2.2 million
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Other operating expenses increased 17.1% in 1999 and 18.3% in 1998. The
increase in other operating expense reflects the impact of the Corporation's
national expansion strategy as well as normal growth.

    Amortization of intangible expense resulting from business combinations was
$7.0 million in 1999, $5.8 million in 1998 and $3.5 million in 1997.
Amortization of intangibles does not require the use of cash and therefore,
Management believes it should be distinguished from other operating expenses.
The impact on net income after consideration of applicable income tax benefits
of these non-cash charges was approximately $5.6 million, $4.6 million and $2.6
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Excluding the after-tax impact of
amortization of intangible assets, diluted earnings per share would have been
$3.98, $3.17 and $2.51 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

    Other operating expenses includes the cost of the outsourcing agreement with
The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"). Pursuant to this agreement, Chase furnishes
necessary securities processing, custodial, data processing and other operations
support services to the Corporation. The initial term of this agreement expires
on August 31, 2000. The Corporation has exercised its option to extend the term
of the agreement for two additional years to August 31, 2002. During the initial
five-year term of the agreement, the Corporation pays Chase an annual base fee
of $10 million plus additional volume charges. Total charges under the Chase
agreement were $12.1 million in 1999, $10.6 million in 1998 and $10.2 million in
1997. The base fee for the two year option period will increase by 10% of total
charges (excluding certain items) incurred in the final year of the initial term
of the agreement.

    Management is considering various possible alternatives for obtaining the
services currently provided under the agreement after its expiration on August
31, 2002. These alternatives include obtaining the services from third-party
providers, including Chase, or providing such services itself. Although the
cost of obtaining or providing such services are expected to increase from the
current level, Management believes, at this time, that such an increase will
not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations.

YEAR 2000 STATUS

In 1996, the Corporation established a Year 2000 Committee with the
responsibility for developing an effective plan for identifying, renovating,
testing and implementing simulated solutions for Year 2000 processing (the
"Year 2000 Plan"). The Year 2000 Plan consisted of the following five phases:
(1) awareness of the problem and commitment by senior management to dedicate
the necessary resources to address this problem; (2) a comprehensive inventory
assessment of all hardware and software, vendor interfaces and service
providers to understand the magnitude of the issue; (3) a systems code
remediation schedule for all affected software sytems; (4) a comprehensive
validation methodology to test all affected applications; and (5) production
implementation of the corrected software systems.

    The first two phases of the Year 2000 Plan were completed in June 1997. The
remaining phases of the Year 2000 Plan, software code remediation and testing
of critical systems were substantially completed as of December 31, 1998.
During these phases the Corporation worked with Chase and Marshall & Illsley
Data Services, providers of the Corporation's most significant data processing
systems (collectively, the "Service Providers") to assure compliance with
required systems changes. The Service Providers were responsible for and bear
the cost of effecting all necessary changes to such systems.

    As of September 30, 1999, all mission critical systems of the Corporation
were in full production. The Corporation ran all of its corrected systems in a
production environment during the balance of 1999. Point-to-point street-wide
testing for connectivity and data exchange with regulatory and depository
agencies also took place in 1999. All testing with these entities was
successfully completed.

    In addition, the Corporation contacted its outside vendors and suppliers to
determine the status of their Year 2000 efforts and to track the renovation and
readiness of their systems for the Year 2000. Where appropriate, testing was
conducted between the Corporation and these vendors. A final follow-up
regarding these entities' Year 2000 readiness was conducted during the third
quarter of 1999. In the event that a product or service provided by a vendor
was not Year 2000 ready, alternative providers were employed.

    As a result of its Year 2000 Plan, the Corporation has not encountered any
adverse effects in the year beginning January 1, 2000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 2000 Issues - The Cost

    The total cost of remediating the Corporation's Year 2000 issues was $4.5
million, which was incurred over a three-year period. These costs included the
costs of remediation, testing, third party assessment, and contingency
planning. All of the external remediation costs are recorded as other operating
expenses. This amount does not include the cost associated with substantial
managerial time that senior officers and employees have dedicated on Year 2000
issues. Since the Service Providers were responsible for and bear the cost of
effecting all necessary changes to the Corporation's most significant data
processing systems, most of the Corporation's costs were incurred to test the
system modifications. While the Corporation deferred certain projects as a
result of efforts regarding Year 2000, the Corporation believes that the delays
in system development did not have a material impact on its operating results.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 2000 Issues - Contingency Plan

The Corporation developed a contingency plan to deal with Year 2000 and related
issues, including (1) identifying likely contingencies; (2) developing
procedures to be followed in the event of each contingency; and (3) identifying
personnel responsible for each of the Corporation's businesses that may be
involved in any actual contingency. In the event of an operational disruption,
the Corporation has in place contingency plans for its mission critical
functions. Key area and command recovery personnel within each business sector
were identified and trained to initiate the necessary action steps in
maintaining overall control and business continuity. The Corporation's
contingency plan was completed, and approved by it's Board of Directors, and
reviewed by the Corporation's internal audit department.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 2000 Issues - Risk

Although it is not possible to predict accurately the consequences of a Year
2000 failure, the Corporation is confident that its efforts at remediation
greatly reduced any disruption on and subsequent to January 1, 2000. While not
anticipated, the most reasonable likely worst-case scenario would be a failure
by either one of the Corporation's mission critical systems or the Service
Providers systems. In this case, the Corporation would lose the ability to
service its clients for a period of time. If any of these failures

                                       10

<PAGE>   15

were not corrected within a reasonable period of time, it could have a material
negative effect on the operations and financial condition of the Corporation.

    The disclosure contained in this 8-K as well as the information previously
filed by the Corporation regarding regarding its Year 2000 readiness are
designated as Year 2000 readiness disclosure related to the Year 2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is an intrinsic part of the Corporation's business. The extent to which
the Corporation properly and effectively identifies, measures, controls and
reports the various types of risk inherent in its activities is critical to its
soundness and profitability. The following are the principle risks involved in
the Corporation's business: fiduciary risk, credit risk, operational risk,
legal risk, capital and liquidity risk and market risk.

    It is the policy of the Corporation to maintain a proactive, integrated and
consistent risk management process as a critical component of how the
Corporation conducts its business in an ever changing risk environment. The
process meets all regulatory and legal requirements and provides value added to
the businesses of the Corporation.

    Risk management at the Corporation is a multi-faceted process with
independent oversight, which requires timely communication, judgment and the
knowledge of specialized products and markets. The Corporation's senior
management takes an active role in the risk management process and has
developed policies and procedures that require specific administrative and
business functions to assist in the identification, assessment and control of
various risks. In recognition of the varied and changing nature of its
financial services business, the Corporation's risk management policies and
procedures are evolutionary in nature and are subject to ongoing review and
modification.

    Implementation of risk management systems are developed on a consistent
basis using common definitions and standard documentation. It is the
responsibility of each business unit to manage the process of creating and
implementing an effective risk management system. This system provides the basis
to identify, measure, control and monitor risk using an appropriate combination
of policies, procedures, processes, personnel, controls and monitoring systems.

    Through the direction of the Risk Management Division, the Corporation
recommends appropriate risk parameters for each of its businesses, oversees
communication of the Corporation's overall risk tolerance limits, monitors the
development and implementation of its internal risk management system,
including the risk self-assessment process required of each business unit, and
coordinates appropriate reporting to the Risk Policy Committee on all risk
related matters.

    The Risk Policy Committee, which reports directly to the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors and is composed of the Corporation's most senior
officers, approves the overall risk management policies for the Corporation and
reviews the Corporation's performance relative to these policies. The Risk
Policy Committee has created various committees to assist it in approving,
monitoring and reviewing the inherent risks in the respective business units.
The Risk Management, Comptrollers, Treasury and General Counsel Divisions, all
of which are independent of the Corporation's business units, assist senior
management and the Risk Policy Committee in monitoring and controlling the
Corporation's overall risk profile.

    In addition, the Internal Audit Department, which also reports directly to
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, evaluates the Corporation's
operations and control environment through periodic evaluations. The
Corporation continues to be committed to employing qualified personnel with
appropriate expertise in each of its various administrative and business areas
to implement effectively the Corporation's risk management and monitoring
systems and processes.

    The following is a description of the Corporation's principal risks. This
discussion and the estimated amounts of the Corporation's market risk exposure
generated by the Corporation's statistical analyses are forward looking
statements. The analyses used to compute the amounts at risk are not projections
of future events, and actual results may vary significantly from such analyses
due to actual events in the markets in which the Corporation operates and
certain other factors described below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiduciary Risk

Fiduciary risk refers to the risk of financial or reputational loss through the
breaching of fiduciary duties to a client. Fiduciary risk is an integral
component in practically all of the Corporation's client related activities.
Fiduciary activities, include but are not limited to, individual and corporate
trust, investment management, custody and cash and securities processing. To
limit this risk, the

                                       11

<PAGE>   16

Corporation establishes procedures to ensure that obligations to clients are
discharged faithfully and in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory
requirements. Business units have the primary responsibility for adherence to
the procedures applicable to their business.

    Guidance and control is provided through the creation and approval and
ongoing review of specific applicable policies and procedures with appropriate
oversight and review by relevant committees comprised of senior members of the
business units.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit Risk

    The Corporation's exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility that
a customer or counterparty to a transaction may fail to perform under their
contractual commitment, resulting in the Corporation incurring a loss.

    Management of the credit approval process is premised on sound and
disciplined underwriting standards with clear lines of accountability and
authority. Counterparties that generate credit exposure are given empirical
risk ratings and are approved by appropriate senior officers depending on the
exposure level and/or risk rating.

    Counterparty credit exposure is actively managed on a continuous basis
through individual and portfolio reviews performed on a timely basis by account
officers and senior line management. Independent periodic assessment of the
validity of credit ratings, credit quality and the credit management process is
conducted by the Risk Review Department of the Risk Management Division. This
work is supplemented by additional reviews conducted by the Internal Audit
Division. Reports are issued to senior line management as well as the Risk
Policy Committee.

    In addition, senior line management regularly reviews asset quality with
the Risk Policy Committee including concentrations, delinquencies,
non-performers, losses and recoveries. All are factors in the determination of
an appropriate allowance for credit losses, which is reviewed quarterly by
senior management. See Notes 6 and 7 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for an analysis of the Corporation's loan portfolio and allowance
for credit losses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operational Risk

Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from improper processing
of transactions or deficiencies in the Corporation's operating systems or
control processes. With respect to its investment management activities, the
Corporation has developed and continues to enhance specific policies and
procedures that are designed to provide, among other things, that all
transactions are accurately recorded and properly reflected in the
Corporation's books and records and confirmed on a timely basis; portfolio
valuations are subject to periodic independent review procedures; and
collateral and appropriate documentation (e.g., master agreements) are obtained
from counterparties in appropriate circumstances. With respect to its lending
activities, operating systems are designed to provide for the efficient
servicing of loan accounts. The Corporation manages operational risk through
its system of internal controls which provides checks and balances to ensure
that transactions and other account-related activity (e.g., transaction
authorization and processing, billing and collection of delinquent accounts)
are properly approved, processed, recorded and reconciled. Disaster recovery
plans are in place on a Corporation-wide basis for critical systems, and
redundancies are built into the systems as deemed appropriate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Risk

Legal risk includes the risk of non-compliance with applicable legal and
regulatory requirements and the risk that a counterparty's performance
obligations will be unenforceable. The Corporation is generally subject to
extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which it conducts its
business. The Corporation has established policies and procedures based on
legal and regulatory requirements that are designed to ensure compliance with
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The Corporation also has
established procedures that are designed to ensure that senior management's
policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed
throughout the firm. In connection with its business, the Corporation has
various procedures addressing issues, such as regulatory capital requirements,
sales and marketing practices, new products, use and safekeeping of customer
funds and securities, credit granting, collection activities, money-laundering
and record keeping. The Corporation also has established procedures to mitigate
the risk that a counterparty's performance obligations will be unenforceable,
including consideration of counterparty legal authority and capacity, adequacy
of legal documentation, the permissibility of a transaction under applicable
law and whether applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws limit or alter
contractual remedies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital and Liquidity Management

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of
financial resources to meet the Corporation's cash flow requirements and to
capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. The Corporation monitors
the liquidity position of the Parent and each of its subsidiaries on an ongoing
basis to ensure that funds are available to meet loan and deposit cash flow
requirements. Liquidity management is also structured to ensure that the
capital needs of the Parent and its subsidiaries are met on a day-to-day basis.

    The Parent's liquidity requirements consist mainly of dividend payments to
common stockholders, interest and principal payments to debt holders,
repurchases of its common stock and capital required for acquisitions or for
additions to its subsidiaries.

    The Parent has authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase up
to 4.0 million shares of common stock. The repurchased shares are available to
meet the Parent's obligations under its stock-based benefit plans and for
general capital management purposes. During 1999, 655,785 shares were
repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $82.23 per share. As of
December 31, 1999, the Parent could repurchase an additional 1,533,225 common
shares. In January 2000, the Parent suspended the repurchase of any additional
shares due to the pending business combination (see Note 1 to Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). On January 25, 2000, the Parent announced
its regular quarterly common stock dividend of $0.22 per share. Future
dividends declared are subject to approval by the Parent's Board of Directors
and regulatory capital limitations.

    The Parent's sources of liquidity are derived primarily from dividends from
its subsidiaries, issuances of common stock and issuances of long and
short-term debt instruments. During 1999, the subsidiaries remitted $41.0
million in cash dividends to the Parent. As of January 1, 2000, the
subsidiaries have the ability to pay dividends of approximately $77.3 million
without prior approval of the regulatory authorities.

    The Parent has credit facilities totaling $80.0 million which are based on
LIBOR or Prime and mature on March 31, 2002. On December 31, 1999, there was
$35.0 million outstanding under these facilities.

    The Parent is authorized to issue up to 5 million, $1.00 par value,
preferred shares. As of December 31, 1999, no preferred shares have been
issued.

    In addition to traditional interest and non-interest bearing deposit
raising capabilities, the banking subsidiaries have established their own
external funding sources. Certain subsidiaries have established credit
facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank System ("FHLB") totaling
approximately $426.0 million. On December 31, 1999, $13.0 million was
outstanding under these credit facilities.

    The subsidiaries also generate liquidity from the types of financial
instruments that they carry as investment securities. As of December 31, 1999,
approximately $849 million or 79% of the investment securities portfolio is
comprised of U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. These securities are
readily marketable and may be sold or financed through repurchase agreements,
as appropriate. At December 31, 1999, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase aggregated $64.4 million. The subsidiaries may also pledge these
securities to secure public deposits, to qualify for fiduciary powers and to
use as collateral for FHLB and other borrowings. Pledged assets at December 31,
1999 totaled $254.4 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management

The objective of market risk assessment and asset and liability management is
to maximize net interest revenue while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate sensitivity, high asset quality and adequate liquidity.

    The Corporation does not trade financial instruments nor does the
Corporation invest in financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies.
The Corporation invests in only high quality securities (primarily U.S.
Treasury and federal agency obligations). The Corporation's principal risk is
interest rate related. Interest rate risk results from differences in the
maturity and/or repricing of the Corporation's interest earning assets (which
consist primarily of mortgage loans, mortgage backed securities and other fixed
rate investments) and its interest bearing liabilities, (predominately floating
rate deposits). The Corporation uses interest rate swaps ("Swaps") as hedging
vehicles to mitigate interest rate exposure associated with short-term floating
interest-rate deposits.

    The Corporation employs net interest income ("NII") simulation modeling
techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The
Corporation's simulation model includes all on-

                                       13

<PAGE>   18

balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments and measures NII
under various interest rate scenarios. Key variables in the NII simulation
include changes to the level and term structure of interest rates, the
repricing of financial instruments, prepayment and reinvestment assumptions,
loan and deposit pricing and volume assumptions. These simulations involve
assumptions that are inherently uncertain and as a result, the simulation
models cannot precisely estimate NII or precisely predict the impact of changes
in interest rates on NII. Actual results may differ from simulated results due
to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as
changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in
asset and liability mix.

    The Corporation's simulation model facilitates the evaluation of a
potential range of net interest revenue under various interest rate scenarios.
The simulation model at December 31, 1999 indicates that a 50 to 100 basis
point increase in interest rates would decrease simulated NII for the year
ending December 31, 2000 by approximately $3 to $7 million whereas an increase
in interest rates of 150 to 200 basis points would decrease simulated NII by
approximately $11 to $15 million for the twelve month period. Conversely, a 50
to 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would increase simulated NII by
approximately $3 to $7 million and a 150 to 200 basis point decrease in
interest rates would increase simulated NII by approximately $10 to $13
million.

    At December 31, 1998, a 50 to 100 basis point increase in interest rates
would have decreased simulated 1999 NII by approximately $3 to $7 million. An
increase in interest rates of 150 to 200 basis points would have decreased
simulated 1999 NII by approximately $11 to $15 million. Conversely, a 50 to 100
basis point decrease in interest rates would have increased simulated 1999 NII
by approximately $3 to $6 million and a 150 to 200 basis point decrease in
interest rates would have increased simulated 1999 NII by approximately $8 to
$12 million.

    Each of these simulations assumes that the asset and liability structure of
the balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in
interest rates. As the Corporation actively manages its balance sheet and
interest rate exposure, in all likelihood the Corporation would take steps to
ameliorate any additional interest rate exposure that would result from the
simulated changes in the interest rate environment.

    The following table provides details of the notional amounts of Swaps by
maturity and the related average interest rates paid and received. The
Corporation is a fixed rate payor on all of its Swaps.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Parent is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (the "Act"). As such, the Parent is required to file
certain reports with and is subject to examination by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors").

    The Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York has the authority to
examine the affairs of the Corporation for the purpose of determining the
financial condition of United States Trust Company of New York (the "Trust
Company"). The Trust Company and its operations are subject to federal and New
York State laws applicable to commercial banks and trust companies and to
regulation and examination by both federal and New York State banking
authorities.

    On November 12, 1999, the President signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial
Modernization Act of 1999 ("The Modernization Act") into law. The Modernization
Act will:

    - allow bank holding companies meeting certain management and capital
      standards and achieving specified rankings under the Community
      Reinvestment Act, to engage in a substantially broader range of
      nonbanking activities than currently is permissible, including insurance
      underwriting and merchant banking investments in commercial and financial
      companies;

    - allow insurers and other financial services companies to acquire banks;

    - remove various restrictions that currently apply to bank holding company
      ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and

    - establish an overall regulatory structure applicable to bank holding
      companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations.

    The different parts of the Modernization Act will take effect at different
times, as provided in the Modernization Act.

    The Parent as a result of its ownership of U.S. Trust Company of Florida
Savings Bank ("Florida") is a savings bank holding company. Accordingly, the
Corporation and Florida are subject to regulation and examination by the Office
of Thrift Supervision. U.S. Trust Company, N.A. and U.S. Trust Company of
Texas, N.A. are subject to regulation and examination by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. U.S. Trust Company of New Jersey is subject to
regulation and examination by the Banking Department of the State of New Jersey
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). U.S. Trust Company of
Connecticut is subject to regulation and examination by the Department of
Banking of the State of Connecticut and the FDIC.  U.S. Trust Company of North
Carolina is subject to regulation and examination by the North Carolina Office
of the Commissioner of Banks.

    The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") provides for cross-guarantees of the liabilities of insured
depository institutions pursuant to which any bank subsidiary of the Parent may
be required to reimburse the FDIC for any loss or anticipated loss to the FDIC
that arises from a default of any of the Parent's other bank subsidiaries or
assistance provided to such an institution in danger of default.

    The Parent and its FDIC insured subsidiaries are subject to risk-based and
leverage capital guidelines issued by the federal bank regulators. These
regulatory agencies are required by law to take specific prompt actions with
respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital standards and have
defined five capital tiers, the highest of which is "well capitalized". The
Parent and each of its bank subsidiaries were "well capitalized" as of December
31, 1999. See Note 21 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Monetary authorities have a significant impact on the operating results of the
Corporation and other financial services institutions. The decisions of the
Board of Governors affect the supply of money and Federal Reserve System member
bank reserves through open market operations in U.S. Government securities or
by changes in the discount rate or reserve requirements. The Board of Governors

                                       15

<PAGE>   20

actions have an important influence on the growth of bank loans and investments
and the level of interest charged for loans and paid on deposits. Because of
changing conditions in the money markets, as a result of actions by the Board
of Governors and other regulatory authorities, interest rates, credit
availability, deposit levels and bond and stock prices may change materially
due to circumstances beyond the control of the Corporation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various actions and claims are pending or are threatened against the
Corporation in which liability has been denied and which will be vigorously
contested. Management, after consultation with counsel, is of the opinion that
the ultimate resolution of such matters is unlikely to have any future material
adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPERTIES

The Corporation's principal executive office is located at 114 West 47th
Street, New York, New York 10036 and its telephone number at that office is
(212) 852-1000. The Parent and its subsidiaries lease substantially all of its
premises. The Trust Company rents approximately 550,000 square feet of office
space in New York City, principally at its 47th Street location under a lease
expiring in 2014. The Corporation has operations which lease office space in
Costa Mesa, Larkspur, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Stamford,
Greenwich and West Hartford, Connecticut; Washington, D.C.; Naples, Palm Beach
and Vero Beach, Florida; Jersey City, Morristown and Princeton, New Jersey;
Garden City, Long Island, New York; Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh, North
Carolina; Wayne, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; Dallas and Houston, Texas. The
Corporation owns buildings in New York City, New York; Boca Raton, Florida and
Essex, Connecticut from which it conducts business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Computer Software Costs

In March 1998, Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," ("SOP 98-1") was
issued effective for financial statements issued in 1999. SOP 98-1 requires the
capitalization of eligible costs of specified activities related to computer
software developed or obtained for internal use. The Corporation adopted SOP
98-1 on January 1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 98-1 has not had a material effect
on the Corporation's financial condition or results from operations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting for Derivatives

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("FAS 133") was issued. FAS
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivatives. FAS 133
requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial condition and measurement of those instruments at fair
value. Fair market valuation adjustments for derivatives meeting hedge criteria
will be recorded in either comprehensive income or earnings depending on their
classification. The Corporation's use of derivatives to date has been limited
to utilizing interest rate swaps as hedges to mitigate interest rate exposure
associated with short-term floating interest rate deposits. As such this use of
interest rate swaps would be categorized as a cash flow hedge under FAS 133 and
the effective portion of the gain or loss on the interest rate swaps would be
recorded in comprehensive income. The fair value of the Corporation's interest
rate swap portfolio was a pre-tax gain of $16 million as of December 31, 1999
compared to pre-tax losses of $18 million and $11 million at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. Substantially all of the fair value of the interest
rate swap portfolio for these periods would be recorded as a component of
comprehensive income.

    In June 1999, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of FAS 133" ("FAS 137") was issued. FAS 137 delayed the
effective date of FAS 133 one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting FAS 133 and does not
believe that it will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial
condition or results from operations.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  PENDING BUSINESS COMBINATION

U.S. Trust Corporation (individually, the "Parent" collectively with its wholly
owned subsidiaries, the "Corporation") is an investment management company with
fiduciary and banking powers.

     The Parent has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger
Agreement") dated January 12, 2000 with The Charles Schwab Corporation
("Schwab") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab pursuant to which all of the
outstanding common shares of the Parent will be exchanged for shares of Schwab
common stock. The transaction, which is subject to, among other things,
regulatory approvals and Parent shareholder approval, is expected to be
consummated by July 2000.

     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Patriot Merger Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab, will merge with and into the Parent. The
surviving legal entity will be the Parent which will thereafter be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Schwab. The Parent's shareholders will receive 3.427 shares
of Schwab common stock for each common share of the Parent in a tax-free
exchange. The total transaction value was estimated at $2.7 billion as announced
on January 13, 2000 in a joint press release from Schwab and the Corporation.
The Parent and Schwab expect the transaction to qualify for pooling of interests
accounting treatment.

     The Merger Agreement provides for a retention bonus program of
approximately $150 million (consisting of approximately $125 million in cash and
$25 million of value in Schwab stock options). Starting with the second
anniversary of the consummation of the business combination, employees will be
eligible to receive the benefits under the retention program, if employed at
that time. One-half of the stock options will vest on the third anniversary of
the consummation of the business combination and the remaining half will vest
on the fourth anniversary.

     In connection with the change-in-control provisions of certain of the
Parent's compensation plans, all outstanding stock options and substantially all
restricted stock awards will vest and be paid on the closing of the transaction.
Payment in respect of these awards will be made in Schwab common stock.

     The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under
the presumption (e.g., Notes 19 and 20 Performance Compensation and Retirement
and Other Employee Benefits) that the Corporation is a going concern and do not
attempt to take into consideration the impact, if any, that the Pending Business
Combination may have on the matters discussed therein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation is an investment management company with fiduciary and banking
powers. Through its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, United
States Trust Company of New York (the "Trust Company"), the Corporation provides
investment management, private banking, special fiduciary and corporate trust
services to affluent individuals, families and institutions located throughout
the United States.

     The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform with
generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the
investment management and banking industries. The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities (including, but not limited to, the allowance for credit losses,
retirement and postretirement benefits and deferred taxes) as of the financial
statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Since management's judgment involves making estimates
concerning the likelihood of future events, the actual results could differ from
those estimates which will have a positive or negative effect on future period
results.

     The following is a summary of the significant financial accounting
policies:

(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position and results of operations for the periods have been made. Such
adjustments, unless otherwise noted in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and/or Management's Discussion and Analysis, are of a normal
recurring nature.

(b) TRUST ASSETS -- Property (other than cash deposits) held by the Trust
Company or the Corporation's other bank subsidiaries in a fiduciary

                                       5
<PAGE>   26

or agency capacity for customers is not an asset of the Corporation and is not
included in the Consolidated Statement of Condition.

(c) INTEREST EARNING/BEARING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- Interest income and
expense are accrued on interest earning/bearing financial instruments based upon
the contractual terms of the instruments. Premiums and discounts are amortized
or accreted, as applicable, on a basis that approximates the effective yield
method.

     Securities that may be sold prior to maturity as part of asset/liability
management or in response to other factors are classified as securities
available for sale and carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity, net
of taxes. Realized gains and losses from sales of securities are determined on a
specific identification cost basis.

(d) NONPERFORMING ASSETS -- Nonperforming assets consist of non-accrual
financial instruments and other real estate owned. Interest accruals are
discontinued when principal or interest is contractually past due ninety days or
more. In addition, interest accruals may be discontinued when principal or
interest is contractually past due less than ninety days if, in the opinion of
management, the amount due is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms
of the contractual agreement, even though the financial instruments are
currently performing. Any accrued but unpaid interest previously recorded on a
non-accrual financial instrument is reversed and recorded as a reduction of
interest income. Interest received on non-accrual financial instruments is
applied either to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest
income, depending on management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of
principal. Non-accrual financial instruments are generally returned to accrual
status only when all delinquent principal and interest payments become current
and the collectibility of future principal and interest on a timely basis is
reasonably assured.

     Other real estate owned ("ORE") acquired through foreclosure in
satisfaction of the loan is recorded in other assets at the lower of the
carrying amount of the loan or the ORE's estimated fair value less estimated
selling and disposition costs. After the acquisition date of the ORE, operating
expenses and revenue, additional writedowns, as appropriate, and gains and
losses on the ultimate disposition of ORE are reported in other expenses.

(e) ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES -- The allowance for credit losses is
established through charges to income based on management's evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance in meeting losses in the existing credit portfolio.

     The adequacy of the allowance is reviewed continually by management, taking
into consideration current economic conditions, past loss experience and risks
inherent in the credit portfolio, including the value of impaired loans.

(f) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT -- Premises and equipment, including leasehold
improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method over the
lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(g) INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- The fair value of intangible assets recorded as a
result of the acquisition of investment management enterprises is reported in
other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Condition and is amortized over
the estimated period benefited. An impairment review is performed periodically
on these assets.

(h) PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION -- The Corporation's performance compensation plans
provide for awards in the form of cash, stock options and restricted stock
units. Cash awards are accrued and paid annually. The exercise price of stock
options is the fair market value on the date of grant and no compensation
expense is recorded. Restricted stock units are recorded as compensation expense
ratably over the vesting period of the award based on the fair market value of
the award at the grant date.

(i) INCOME TAXES -- The Corporation files a consolidated Federal income tax
return. Deferred income taxes are provided for items that are recognized for
income tax purposes in years other than those in which they are recognized for
financial reporting purposes.

(j) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- As part of its asset and liability
management activities, the Corporation employs interest rate swaps ("Swaps") to
ameliorate the interest rate risk associated with nontrading-related balance
sheet financial instruments. The Corporation utilizes Swaps solely as hedging
instruments.

     To be effective as a hedge, Swaps must reduce interest rate risk and must
be designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. That is,
Swaps are linked to the related liability, whereby the terms of the Swap
generally equal the terms of the related liability, at the inception and
throughout the term of the derivative contract.

     Swaps that qualify as hedges are accounted for under the accrual method;
the interest component associated with Swaps is recognized over the life of

                                       6
<PAGE>   27

the contract in net interest revenue and there is no recognition of unrealized
gains and losses on the Swap in the statement of financial condition. It has
been the Corporation's practice not to terminate its Swaps or sell the
underlying financial instruments that are being hedged by the Swaps. However, if
the Corporation did terminate a Swap, any amounts received from (a gain) or paid
to (a loss) the counterparty would be deferred and amortized over the shorter of
the remaining original life of the hedged item or the terminated Swap. In
addition if the hedged item was sold, the fair value of the Swap would be
recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss of the hedged item.

(k) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- Included in Short-Term Investments are $50.5
million and $204.3 million of interest bearing deposits with banks and $375.0
million and $255.0 million of federal funds sold at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

(l) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows, the Corporation considers the Consolidated Statement of Condition
caption cash and due from banks as cash and cash equivalents. For purposes of
the U.S. Trust Corporation (Parent Company Only) Statement of Cash Flows, the
Corporation considers due from banks (which is included in the Statement of
Condition caption other assets) as cash and cash equivalents.

(m) RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  ACQUISITIONS

During 1999, the Corporation acquired NCT Holdings, Inc., the parent of North
Carolina Trust Company, a non-deposit banking corporation headquartered in
Greensboro, North Carolina and Radnor Capital Management, Inc., an investment
management company located in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Assets under management at
the closing dates from these acquisitions totaled approximately $2.8 billion.
The initial consideration paid at the closing of these business combinations was
approximately $49.3 million, substantially in the form of the Parent's common
stock.

     During 1998, the Corporation acquired Wood Island Associates, Inc., Maier &
Siebel, Inc., and McMurrey Investments Advisors, Inc. These firms provide
investment management services to high net worth individuals and institutions.
The aggregate amount of assets under management at the closing dates was
approximately $1.6 billion. The Corporation also acquired Strategic Trading
Corporation which provides consultation and agency services on in-kind stock
distributions and derivative hedging strategies to high net worth individuals.
The initial consideration paid at the closing of these business combinations was
approximately $32.9 million.

     Each of these transactions provide for additional payments of cash and the
Parent's common stock based upon business retention and future profitability.
Each transaction was accounted for as a purchase.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The average non-interest earning balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $38.7 million and $32.9 million,
respectively. These amounts represent reserve requirements which must be
maintained on deposits. There are no other restrictions on cash and due from
banks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. SECURITIES

The amortized cost, estimated fair value and gross unrealized gains and losses
on securities available for sale as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, are

 (1) Collateralized Mortgage Obligations have been allocated over maturity
     groupings based on contractual maturities. Expected maturities may differ
     from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay
     obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

 (2) Excludes Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock of
     approximately $24 million.

 (3) Yields have been computed by dividing annualized interest revenue, on a
     taxable equivalent basis, by the amortized cost of the respective
     securities as of December 31, 1999.

The components of net securities gains for the years ended December 31, 1999,

Deferred tax assets are attributable to temporary differences primarily
generated from expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes that are not
yet deductible on the tax return. The Corporation believes it is more likely
than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to
absorb these items as they are recognized as deductions on the tax return.

14. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Parent is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par
value per share. As of December 31, 1999, no preferred shares have been issued.

     In 1999, stockholders' approved the proposal to amend the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of
common stock from 40 million shares to 70 million shares.

     The calculations of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
for the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 are reflected in the following
table. The impact of the stock split distributed on February 21, 1997 has been
reflected in all earnings per share calculations.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various
transactions involving off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the needs
of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to interest rate risk. These
transactions may be subject to credit risk. As compensation for the risks
assumed, these

                                       13
<PAGE>   34

instruments generate interest or fee revenue or expense. The controls used to
monitor the credit and market risks of off-balance sheet financial instruments
are consistent with those associated with the Corporation's on-balance sheet
activities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit-Related Financial Instruments

Credit-related financial instruments include firm commitments to extend credit
("commitments") and standby letters of credit ("standbys"). The credit risk
associated with these instruments varies depending on the creditworthiness of
the customer and the value of any collateral held. Collateral requirements vary
by type of instrument. The contractual amounts of these instruments represent
the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn upon, the client default,
and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.

     Commitments are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer that
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may require
payment of a fee and are not secured by collateral until funds are advanced. The
Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis
prior to approving a commitment or advancing funds under a commitment and
determining the related collateral requirement. Collateral held includes
marketable securities, real estate mortgages or other assets. The majority of
the Corporation's commitments are related to mortgage lending to private banking
clients. Commitments totaled $306.7 million and $248.9 million at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Standbys are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party. For example, standbys are issued
to satisfy margin requirements incurred by investment banking and broker/dealer
financial institutions for their activities conducted on organized exchanges, or
in other situations standbys guarantee performance under lease and other
agreements by professional business corporations and for other purposes. The
credit risk involved in issuing standbys is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loans. Standbys outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998
amounted to $79.8 million and $87.0 million, respectively. Standbys are
generally partially or fully collateralized by cash, marketable equity
securities, marketable debt securities (including corporate and U.S. Treasury
debt securities) and other assets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derivative Financial Instruments

As part of its overall asset and liability management process, the Corporation
utilizes Swaps as hedges. Swaps are used to ameliorate the interest rate
characteristics of nontrading-related balance sheet instruments. The Corporation
enters into Swaps with counterparties as a principal.

     The market values of Swaps can vary depending on movements in interest
rates. The measurement of the market risks associated with Swaps is meaningful
only when all related and offsetting transactions are identified. The notional
or contractual amounts of Swaps are indications of the volume of transactions
and do not represent amounts at risk. The amounts at risk upon default are
generally limited to the unrealized market value gains of the Swaps, if any, and
will vary based on changes in interest rates. The risk of default depends on the
creditworthiness of the counterparty. The Corporation evaluates the
creditworthiness of its counterparties as part of its normal credit review
procedures.

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Corporation was a counterparty to Swaps
with a total notional principal amount of $1,070.0 million and $560.0 million,
respectively. Outstanding Swaps had a weighted average maturity of approximately
3.3 years at December 31, 1999 and 2.4 years at December 31, 1998.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The fair value of financial instruments may be estimated using various
valuation methodologies. Quoted market prices, when available, are used as the
measure of fair value. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values
may be estimated using primarily discounted cash flow analyses and other
valuation techniques. Assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash
flows and the discount rate significantly affect these derived fair values.
Because assumptions are inherently subjective, the estimated fair values may not
be substantiated by comparison to third party evidence and may not be indicative
of the value that could be realized in a sale or settlement of the financial
instrument.

     A discussion of the fair value estimation methodologies used for material
financial instruments follows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities

The estimated fair value of securities is based upon quoted bid market prices,
where available, or fair value quotes obtained from third party pricing
services. Securities are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Condition at
estimated fair value.

                                       14
<PAGE>   35


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loans

The estimated fair value of the Corporation's loans (primarily residential real
estate mortgages) was calculated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted
for current prepayment estimates. The discount rates were based on the interest
rates charged to current customers for comparable loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-Term Debt

The estimated fair value of the trust preferred capital securities was obtained
from quotes by third party investment bankers.

     The estimated fair value of other long-term debt was calculated using a
discounted cash flow method, where the estimated cash flows considered
contractual principal and interest payments. The discount rate used was the
current rate for borrowings with comparable remaining maturities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Corporation is the net fixed rate payor under all of its Swaps and at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 had an accrued net payable of $274,000 and $908,000,
respectively. The estimated fair value of Swaps is obtained from dealer quotes.
These values represent the estimated amount that the Corporation would have to
pay or receive to terminate the Swaps, taking into account current interest
rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Financial Instruments

The Corporation's other financial instruments are generally short-term in nature
and contain negligible credit risk. These instruments consist of cash and due
from banks, short-term investments, accrued interest receivable and accounts
receivable, demand deposit liabilities, time deposit liabilities, short-term
credit facilities and accrued interest payable and accounts payable.
Consequently, carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their
estimated fair value.

     The estimated fair values of the Corporation's significant, long-term
financial instruments are reflected in the following table.

17. RENTAL COMMITMENTS ON PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Most of the Corporation's operations are conducted from premises that are
leased. The initial lease periods expire between 2000 and 2020. The lease for
the Corporation's headquarters building expires in 2014 and is renewable at the
Corporation's option for two successive terms of ten years each at the then
current market rate.

     Rent expense on operating leases for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
$30.0 million, $26.4 million and $30.1 million, respectively. Operating lease
rent expense includes rent escalation adjustments of $6.7 million in 1999, $7.0
million in 1998 and $11.0 million in 1997 for increases in certain operating
expenses of the landlords as defined in the lease agreements.

     Minimum rental commitments, including the current level of escalation
costs, on non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 1999 follows.

18. CONTINGENCIES

There are various pending and threatened actions and claims against the
Corporation in which the Corporation has denied liability and which it will
vigorously contest. Management, after consultation with counsel, is of the
opinion that the ultimate resolution of such matters is unlikely to have any


                                       15

future material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position, results

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION

Cash-Based Performance Compensation

The Corporation's cash-based performance compensation award plans provide for
annual cash performance awards to eligible employees. The overall size of the
cash-based performance compensation award is determined by the achievement of
certain corporate financial objectives established by the Board of Directors at
the beginning of each year. Eligible employee awards are determined on an
individual basis based upon an employee's contribution to the overall success of
the Corporation. Total cash-based performance compensation was $54.1 million,
$38.5 million and $31.3 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation may be made in the form of Restricted Stock Units
("RSUs") or stock options. The overall size of the stock-based awards are
determined by the achievement of certain corporate financial objectives
established by the Board of Directors at the beginning of each year. Eligible
employee awards are determined on an individual basis based upon an employee's
contribution to the overall success of the Corporation. RSUs accrue dividend
equivalent credits and generally cliff vest (the entire award typically vests at
the end of a five year vesting period) at which time they may be converted into
shares of the Parent's common stock. During 1999, the Corporation granted
125,697 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $78.26 per unit. During 1998,
94,915 RSUs were granted with a weighted average fair value of $64.64 per unit.
The fair value of a RSU is determined by averaging the high and low prices of a
share of common stock of the Parent on the date of grant. The value of the grant
is recorded as a component of compensation expense ratably over the vesting
period. Total stock-based compensation expense which is included as a component
of performance compensation in the consolidated statement of income was $4.2
million, $2.6 million and $1.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At
December 31, 1999, the unamortized cost of RSUs was $12.2 million. Through
December 31, 1999, the Corporation had issued 344,017 RSUs and had 202,820 RSUs
available for future issuance.

     The 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") provides for stock option
grants to eligible employees. The Option Plan authorizes the issuance of a
maximum of 3,200,000 options to acquire shares of the Parent's common stock. At
December 31, 1999, the Parent had 501,081 shares of common stock available for
issuance. Under the Option Plan, the Corporation awards either incentive stock
options or non-qualified stock options. The stock options expire ten years from
the date of grant and their exercise price is not less than the fair market
value of a common share on the date of grant. Awards generally vest in four
equal annual installments. Options granted are issued with the exercise price at
least equal to the fair market value of a common share of the Parent.

     The following is a summary of stock option transactions which occurred
under the Option Plan for the three-year period ended December 31, 1999.

The weighted average fair value of options granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
$23.30 per option, $15.45 per option and $11.25 per option, respectively. If
compensation cost for the Corporation's Option Plan had been recorded based on
the fair value at grant date and recognized over the vesting period of the
award, the impact on the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), which commenced on January 1, 1999,
permits eligible employees to deduct between one and ten percent of their base
pay on an after-tax basis to purchase shares under the ESPP, subject to a limit
of $25,000 in any calendar year. The per-share purchase price is the lower of
85% of the fair market value on the first or the last day of the applicable
offering period. Up to 350,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for
issuance under the ESPP. As of December 31, 1999, 61,802 shares were purchased
by ESPP. The fair value of shares issued to the ESPP exceeded the proceeds
received by the Corporation by $1.0 million. The ESPP is non-compensatory in
nature and accordingly, no charge to earnings was recorded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. RETIREMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Deferred Contribution Plan

The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) Plan and ESOP covering all employees who
satisfy the specified service requirement.

     On February 1, 1999 the final debt service payment on the ESOP debt was
made (see Note 11 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and all
remaining shares were allocated to eligible participants. As of December 31,
1999 the ESOP held a total of 1,517,836 shares of the Parent's common stock.
Dividends on ESOP shares used for debt repayment were $0.3 million, $1.2 million
and $1.1 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Dividends declared on ESOP shares are recorded as deductions from retained
earnings. The Corporation receives a tax benefit for dividends paid on ESOP
shares. These tax benefits are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income
as a reduction of income tax expense. For earnings per share purposes, shares
held by the ESOP are considered to be outstanding.

     Employees can participate in the 401(k) plan by making contributions, on a
tax-deferred basis, up to the maximum annual amount allowed by law. The
Corporation matched the employees' contribution at the rate of 60% of the first
5% of each participant's eligible compensation contributed to the 401(k) plan.
The provisions of the 401(k) plan which provide for the company match became
effective as of January 1, 1999. The Corporation's match is made in the form of
the Corporation's common stock. For the year ended December 31, 1999,
approximately 33,260 shares were credited to participant's accounts. The cost of
the employer matching contribution ($2.7 million) was included in Other
Employee Benefits expense based upon the fair value of the Parent's common
stock at December 31, 1999.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Corporation provides pension and other postretirement benefits to qualifying
employees.

     The pension plan is a trusteed, noncontributory, qualified defined benefit
pension plan that provides pension benefits to substantially all employees.
Benefits are based upon years of service, average compensation over the final
years of service and the social security covered compensation. The Corporation's
funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of Federal laws and
regulations. The pension plan's investment assets are managed by the Trust
Company. The pension plan's investment assets principally are invested in shares
of various domestic and international equity, fixed income and money market
portfolios of the Excelsior Series of mutual funds. The Trust Company is the
investment advisor of the Excelsior funds.

     The Corporation uses the projected unit credit cost method to compute the
vested benefit obligation, where the vested benefit obligation is the actuarial
present value of the vested benefits to which the employee is entitled based on
the employee's expected date of separation or retirement.

     The Corporation provides certain health care and life insurance benefits
for all employees, certain qualifying retired employees and their dependents.
Postretirement medical and life insurance benefits are accrued during the years
that the employee renders service to reflect the expected cost of providing
health care and life insurance and other benefits to an employee upon
retirement.

     The following table summarizes the components of retirement and
postretirement benefit expenses (credits), the funded status of the
Corporation's qualified retirement plan, changes in the benefit obligations
related to these plans and the major assumptions used to determine these
amounts.

(1)  Pension plan expense in 1998 includes a charge of $7.3 million arising from
     the actuarial recalculation of certain benefit obligations. Health & Life
     other net amortization and deferrals for the year ended December 31, 1998
     includes a $7.3 million gain reflecting an actuarial gain arising from a
     change in actuarial assumptions with regard to future retiree medical
     claims.

(2)  The pension expense (credit) and postretirement benefit expense are
     determined using the assumptions as of the beginning of the year. The
     benefit obligations and the funded status are determined using the
     assumptions as of the end of the year.


(3)  The rate of increase in compensation is based on an age-related table with
     assumed rates of increase in compensation ranging from 9.0% to 3.5%. The
     amount shown is the average assumed rate of increase for the given plan
     year.

in the year 2005. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost
trend rates would have the following effects:

In addition to the pension plan, the Corporation also maintains an unfunded,
non-trusteed, non-contributory, non-qualified retirement plan ("BEP") for
participants whose retirement benefits under the qualified plan exceed Federal
tax law limits. As of January 1, 1997, the Corporation amended this
non-qualified plan to change the Plan from a "defined benefit" to a "defined
contribution" type of plan. The Corporation's accrued liability for the BEP was
$13.8 million, $11.5 million and $9.3 at December 31, 1999, December 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively.

The Parent's banking subsidiaries are subject to limitations on the amount of
dividends they can pay to the Parent without prior approval of the bank
regulatory authorities. As of January 1, 2000, the Parent's banking subsidiaries
can declare, in aggregate, dividends of approximately $77.1 million without
prior regulatory approval.

     There are various statutory and regulatory limitations on the extent to
which banking subsidiaries of the Parent can finance or otherwise transfer funds
to the Parent or its nonbanking subsidiaries. These "covered transactions" are
limited to 20% of all bank subsidiary's regulatory capital and surplus and
covered transactions with any one such affiliate are limited to 10% of a bank
subsidiary's regulatory capital and surplus. Covered transactions include, among
other things, loans and extensions of credit to, purchases of assets from, and
guarantees, acceptances, and letters of credit issued on behalf of, an
affiliate. Such covered transactions must be collateralized by qualifying
collateral as defined by applicable law.

     The Federal Reserve Board, the Corporation's primary federal regulator,
establishes regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by the
Federal Reserve Board that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines set
by the Federal Reserve Board, banks and bank holding companies must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital requirements and classifications are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the Federal Reserve Board about components, risk
weightings and other factors. The capital of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries exceeded minimum requirements at December 31, 1999.

     The following table sets forth the Corporation's and Trust Company's
regulatory capital and ratios as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

(a)  Minimum tier 1 capital, total capital and tier 1 leverage ratios are 4%, 8%
     and 3%-5%, respectively, for bank holding companies and banks.


Under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), five capital categories were
established for banks. Pursuant to that statute, the federal bank regulatory
agencies have specifically defined these categories by determining that a bank
is well capitalized if it maintains a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a
total capital ratio of at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5%.

     The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted these same thresholds for the
tier 1 capital ratio and total capital ratio in defining a well capitalized bank
holding company. The well capitalized threshold for the leverage ratio may be
set at 3% to 5%, depending on other regulatory criteria.

     Based on their respective regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are well
capitalized. There are no conditions or events that management believes have
changed the Corporation's and subsidiaries well-capitalized status.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

January 31, 2000

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of U.S. Trust Corporation:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders' equity
and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of U.S. Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
