MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Mellon Financial Corporation is a global financial services company
that is focused on growth opportunities in asset management and servicing globally. In this annual report, Mellon Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries are also referred to as Mellon, the Corporation, we or
our.

Mellons businesses benefit from the global growth in financial assets. Our success is based on continuing to provide superior
client services, strong investment performance and the highest fiduciary standards. Financially we expect that each of our four businesses will achieve competitive pre-tax margins. We will deploy capital effectively to our businesses to accelerate
their long-term growth and deliver top-tier returns to our shareholders.

Our long-term financial goals are focused on achieving superior total returns to
shareholders by generating first quartile earnings per share growth over time relative to a group of 19 peer companies. Key components of this strategy include: providing top ranked client service (as measured through independent surveys) and strong
investment performance (relative to investment benchmarks); above median revenue growth (relative to peer companies for each of our businesses); and positive operating leverage.

Based on the growth opportunities in our businesses, we expect that an increasing percentage of our revenue and income will be derived outside the U.S.

As measurements of efficiency, over time we expect to increase the level of fee revenue per employee and increase our pre-tax margins.

We believe that our businesses are compatible with our strategy and goals for the following reasons:



| |  |  | Demand for our products and services is driven by market and demographic trends in the markets in which we compete. These trends include: growth in worldwide
retirement and financial assets; the growth and concentration of the wealth segments; global growth in assets managed by financial institutions, (particularly in the U.S. and Europe); and the globalization of the investment process.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Many of our products complement one another.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are able to leverage sales, distribution and technology across our businesses benefiting our clients and shareholders.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The revenue generated by our businesses is principally fee-based.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our businesses generally do not require as much capital for growth as traditional banking.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We pursue our long-term financial goals by focusing on organic revenue growth, expense management, superior client service, successful integration of acquisitions and
disciplined capital management.

In 2006, we revised our targeted capital ratio from tangible common equity to tangible shareholder equity and increased
the upper end to 5.25% from 5% (the lower end remains 4.25%). The change from common equity to shareholder equity reflects the opportunity to utilize efficient capital securities that are recognized by the rating agencies and
our regulators and reduce our overall cost of capital. The adjustment to the upper end of the range reflects our focus on supporting the growth opportunities of our asset management and servicing businesses.

Our success in achieving our goals and objectives is influenced by economic and market drivers. Two key drivers that have impacted our domestic results in the past are
the growth in financial assets as measured by the U.S. Federal Reserve and changes in the equity markets, using the S&P 500 Index as a proxy. The long-term growth rates for financial assets and the domestic equity markets has averaged
7-8% per annum.

How we reported results

This 2006
Annual Report provides a detailed review of our results on a consolidated basis, based on the line items of the Consolidated Income Statement, as well as by the performance of our individual business sectors. All information in this Annual Report is
reported on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. For a description of discontinued operations, see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Mellons financial results, as well as our levels of assets under management, custody and administration, are impacted by the translation of financial results denominated in foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar. Mellon is primarily
impacted by activities denominated in the British Pound, and to a lesser extent the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. If the U.S. Dollar depreciates versus these currencies, the translation impact is a higher level of fee revenue, net interest
revenue, operating expense and assets managed, under custody and administered. If the U.S. Dollar appreciates, the translated levels of fee revenue, net interest revenue, operating expense and assets managed, under custody and administered will
be lower. Throughout this report the translation impact of foreign currencies will be referred to as the effect of foreign exchange rates.

Certain amounts are presented on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. We believe that this presentation
provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Throughout this report, all calculations are based on unrounded
numbers.

The sum of these items increased net income in 2006 by $21 million, or $.05 per share.

In April 2006, Mellon increased its quarterly common stock dividend by 10% to $.22 per common share.

2005 results include:



| |  |  | A $197 million pre-tax ($128 million after-tax) gain from the sale of our investment in Shinsei Bank, and other expenses of $15 million pre-tax,
($10 million after tax) of which $10 million related to the early extinguishment of debt, $3 million related to the writedown of a business identified as held for sale and $2 million was associated with our move to Mellon
Financial Centre in London.

The sum of these items increased net income in 2005 by $118 million, or $.28 per share.

Discontinued operations

In the third quarter of 2006,
Mellon announced a definitive agreement to sell its insurance premium financing company, AFCO Credit Corporation, and its Canadian affiliate, CAFO, Inc., to Branch Banking and Trust Company. The sale closed on Jan. 2, 2007, resulting in a gain
of $11 million after-tax. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Mellon sold its ownership interest in the direct and indirect portfolios of Mellon Ventures, our venture capital business, to investment funds organized by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc. and New MVI, L.P. The sale of the portfolios and related costs generated an after-tax loss of $68 million, reported as a net loss on disposals. We applied discontinued operations accounting to both of these businesses in 2006.

The loss from discontinued operations totaled $34 million, or $.08 per share, in 2006, compared with a loss of $102 million, or $.24 per share,
in 2005. The loss in 2005 resulted primarily from the sale of our human resources consulting, administration and outsourcing businesses. For a discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

2005 compared with 2004

Consolidated net income for 2005 totaled $782 million, or $1.87 per share, including a loss from discontinued operations of $102 million, or $.24 per share. This compared with consolidated net income of $796 million, or $1.88
per share, in 2004, which included a gain from discontinued operations of $15 million, or $.04 per share.

Results from continuing operations for 2005
and 2004 were:



| |  |  | Income of $884 million, or $2.11 per share in 2005 compared with $781 million, or $1.84 per share, in 2004;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with the reclassification to Other Assets, a $5 million impairment charge was recorded to reflect the fair value of the asset. See
Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements for further information regarding this transaction.

Proposed merger with The Bank of New York Company, Inc.

On Dec. 3, 2006, Mellon entered into an agreement to merge with The Bank of New York Company, Inc., which would create a global market leader in
securities servicing and asset management. The new company, which will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, will be the worlds leading asset servicer with, on a pro forma basis, more than $17 trillion in assets under custody
and administration, $8 trillion in assets under corporate trusteeship, and over $1.1 trillion in assets under management at Dec. 31, 2006. The Bank of New York Mellon would be the 11th largest U.S. financial institution by market
capitalization and regarded as a global financial services growth company.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Mellon shareholders will receive
one share of common stock in The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation for each share of Mellon common stock outstanding on the closing date, while The Bank of New York shareholders will receive .9434 shares for each share of The Bank of New
York common stock outstanding on the closing date. Mellon and The Bank of New York have entered into reciprocal stock option agreements for 19.9% of each others outstanding common stock. See Note 30 of Notes to Financial Statements for
more information.

The board of directors of each company has adopted a resolution recommending the adoption of the merger agreement by its respective
shareholders, and each party has agreed to put these matters before their respective shareholders for consideration. Subject to satisfaction of various conditions of closing, the merger is currently expected to close early in the third quarter of
2007.

Revenue overview

The vast majority of
Mellons revenue consists of fee revenue, given our mix of businesses, with net interest revenue primarily comprising the balance. The percentages of fee and net interest revenue noted below are calculated excluding gains on the sales of
securities to provide comparability to years when no gains were recorded.

Fee and other revenue. In 2006, fee and other revenue represented 91% of
total revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, compared with 90% in 2005. For analytical purposes, the term fee and other revenue, as utilized throughout this Annual Report, is defined as total noninterest revenue (including equity
investment revenue) less gains on the sales of securities.

Because fee and other revenue comprise the majority of our total revenue, we discuss fee and
other revenue in greater detail by type in the following sections. There, we note the more specific drivers of such revenue and the factors (including the impact of the economic and market drivers noted in the Overview) that caused the various types
of fee and other revenue to be higher or lower in 2006 compared with 2005. The business sectors discussion beginning on page 22 combines, for each sector, all types of fee and other revenue generated directly by that sector as well as fee and
other revenue transferred between sectors under revenue transfer agreements, with net interest revenue generated directly by or allocated to that sector. This discussion of revenue by business sector is fundamental to an understanding of
Mellons results as it represents a principal measure by which management reviews the performance of our businesses compared with performance in prior periods, with operating plans and with the performance of our competitors.

Net interest revenue comprised 9% of total revenue, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, in 2006 compared with 10% in 2005. Net interest revenue is generated from
a combination of investment securities and loans. For more information, see page 15.

Fee
and other revenue

Fee and other revenue totaled $4.849 billion in 2006, an increase of $635 million, or 15%, from $4.214 billion in
2005. In the first quarter of 2005 we recorded a pre-tax gain of $197 million as equity investment revenue from the sale of our investment in Shinsei Bank. Excluding this gain, fee revenue increased $832 million, or 21%, compared with
2005. This increase primarily resulted from higher investment management fees, institutional trust and custody fees, distribution and service revenue and foreign exchange trading revenue as well as acquisitions. A more detailed discussion of fee
revenue, by type, follows.

Investment management fee revenue

Investment management fee revenue, our largest source of fee revenue, is dependent on the overall level and mix of assets under management and the management fees, expressed in basis points (one- hundredth of one percent) charged for
managing those assets. Investment management fee revenue can also be earned in the form of performance fees. These fees are generally calculated as a percentage of a portfolios performance in excess of a benchmark index or a peer groups
performance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The overall level of assets under management for a given period is determined by:



| |  |  | the beginning level of assets under management;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the net flows of new assets during the period resulting from new business wins and existing client enrichments reduced by losses and withdrawals; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the impact of market price appreciation or depreciation, the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures and foreign exchange rates.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These components are shown in the changes in market value of assets under management table on page 10. The mix of assets under management is determined principally
by client asset allocation decisions among equities, fixed income and money market or other alternatives. The trend of this mix is shown in the composition of assets under management table on page 10.

Equity assets under management and alternative investments typically generate the highest management fees, followed by fixed income and money market investments.
Actively managed assets typically generate higher management fees than indexed or passively managed assets of the same type given the higher expenses to actively manage assets, which is generally a factor of more research and transactions. Also, as
mentioned above, our institutional investment managers have the opportunity to earn performance fees when the investment performance of their products exceeds various benchmarks and satisfies other criteria.

Management fees are typically subject to fee schedules based on the overall level of assets managed for a single client or by individual asset class and style. This is
most prevalent for institutional assets where amounts we manage for individual clients are typically large.

A key driver of organic growth in investment
management fees, excluding performance fees, is the amount of net new business flows of assets under management. Overall market conditions are also key drivers with a key long term economic driver being the growth rate of financial assets as
measured by the U.S. Federal Reserve (see page 3). This measure encompasses both net flows and market appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. markets overall.

The S&P 500 index in the U.S. and FTSE index in the U.K. are important drivers of overall equity market appreciation or depreciation and therefore, fees for equity assets under management. Mellon estimates
that a sustained (one year) 100 point change in the S&P 500 Index, and an equivalent movement in the FTSE, when applied to our mix of assets under management, would result in a change of approximately $50 million to
$60 million annually in investment management fee revenue, excluding performance fees. Note that there is an increase/decrease in incentive expense with a related change in investment management fee revenue.

For any given reporting period, the actual impact of market indexes may vary from what might be estimated using
that measurement because:



| |  |  | Mellon Asset Management records investment management revenue from institutional assets under management based on quarter-end levels of assets under management and
from mutual funds based on daily levels of assets under management; and

| |  |  | Private Wealth Management records investment management revenue based on prior months period-end levels of assets under management.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The actual impact will also vary with changes in asset mix, the timing of net flows, the relationship of other benchmarks used versus
the S&P 500 and FTSE indexes and other factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

| |  |  | an increase of 8% in mutual fund fee revenue, primarily reflecting a higher level of money market flows and improved equity markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an increase of 48% in institutional client fee revenue, driven by strong net asset flows, improved equity markets and the Walter Scott & Partners
acquisition; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an increase of $187 million, or 109%, in performance fees, which accounted for 36% of the overall increase in investment management fees, driven by an
increasing number of mandates with performance fee opportunities from new and existing clients, as well as continued strong investment performance. Of the $187 million increase in performance fees, 73% were from new client mandates.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excluding the impact of performance fees and acquisitions, investment management fees in Mellon Asset Management increased 21%.

A large category of investment management fees are fees from managed mutual funds generated in Mellon Asset Management. These fees are based on the daily
average net assets of each fund and the basis point management fee paid by that fund. As shown in the tables below, managed mutual fund fee revenue increased $60 million, or 8%, compared with 2005 primarily resulting from higher money market
flows and improved equity markets.

Investment management fees in the Private Wealth Management sector in 2006 increased $43 million, or 13%, compared with 2005 reflecting net new business, improved equity markets and the impact of acquisitions.

Distribution and service fees

Distribution and service fees earned
from mutual funds are primarily based on average assets in the funds and the sales of funds managed or administered by Mellon and are reported in the Mellon Asset Management sector. These fees, which include 12b-1 fees, fluctuate with the overall
level of net sales, the relative mix of sales between share classes and the funds market values. Distribution and service fees increased $98 million, or 31%, in 2006 compared with 2005 primarily as a result of higher sales volumes and
higher market values of mutual funds at Mellon Global Investments, our international distributor. The impact of these fees on income is more than offset by distribution and servicing expense paid to other financial intermediaries to cover their
costs for distribution and servicing of mutual funds. Distribution and servicing expense is recorded as operating expense on the income statement.

Institutional trust and custody revenue

Institutional trust and custody fees depend on:



| |  |  | the volume of transactions in our clients accounts, as well as the number of accounts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the level of assets under custody or administered;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the types of ancillary services we provide, such as performance analytics; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | securities lending revenue, which is driven by:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the pool of assets under custody available for lending;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the borrowing demand for specific securities within that pool by broker-dealers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the spread earned on reinvestment of cash posted by the borrower as collateral; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the percentage sharing of the earned spread with clients who own the securities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Institutional trust and custody fees also include professional and license fees for software products offered by Eagle Investment Systems that are dependent on discretionary spending decisions by investment managers.
Institutional trust and custody fees are reported primarily in the Asset Servicing sector. Institutional trust and custody fee revenue totaled $945 million in 2006, an increase of $167 million, or 21%, compared with 2005, primarily
resulting from net new business, the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Mellon Analytical Solutions (MAS) in September 2005, and a 76% increase in net earnings from the ABN AMRO Mellon and CIBC Mellon joint ventures. Securities
lending revenue, included in institutional trust and custody revenue, totaled $120 million in 2006, an increase of $12 million, or 11%, compared with 2005 reflecting higher volumes and improved spreads. The average level of securities on
loan totaled $132 billion in 2006 compared with $114 billion in 2005.

As shown in the following table, assets under custody or administration
totaled $4.491 trillion at Dec. 31, 2006, an increase of $583 billion, or 15%, compared with $3.908 trillion at Dec. 31, 2005. The increase in assets under custody resulted from $232 billion of net new business
conversions, market appreciation and changes in foreign exchange rates. New business wins totaled $509 billion in 2006, a portion of which are included in current year net new business conversions.

Payment solutions & investor services fee revenue

Payment solutions & investor services fee revenue consists of revenue from Working Capital Solutions (formerly Global Cash Management), Mellon Investor Services,
and Mellon Financial Markets.



| |  |  | Working Capital Solutions revenue is typically dependent on the volume of items processed and the manner in which the customer chooses to pay for those services.
Working Capital Solutions revenue does not include revenue from customers providing compensating deposit balances in lieu of paying fees for all or a portion of services provided. The earnings on the compensating deposit balances are recognized in
net interest revenue.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mellon Investor Services provides a diverse array of products and services to corporations and shareholders, including stock transfer and recordkeeping services,
investment plan services, demutualizations, corporate actions, unclaimed property services and employee stock-based compensation plans.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payment solutions & investor services fee revenue totaled $482 million, a decrease of $42 million, or 8%, compared with 2005, primarily as a result of higher compensating balance credits in lieu of fees (recorded in net
interest revenue) and lower processing volumes at Working Capital Solutions due primarily to the partial loss of the U.S. Government passport processing business.

Foreign exchange trading revenue

Foreign exchange trading revenues are directly influenced by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized on those transactions as well as the volatility of key currencies. See Asset Servicing on pages 28 and 29 for a
description of the factors that influence foreign exchange trading revenue. Foreign exchange trading revenue totaled $239 million in 2006, up $37 million, or 18%, compared with 2005, reflecting higher client volumes.

Financing-related revenue/equity investment revenue

Financing-related revenue which is primarily included in the Other sector includes: returns from corporate-owned life insurance; gains or losses on securitizations; letters of credit and acceptance fees; loan commitment fees; and gains or
losses on loan sales and lease residuals. Financing-related revenue totaled $97 million in 2006, a $21 million, or 17%, decrease compared with $118 million in 2005 primarily resulting from lower returns on corporate owned life
insurance.

Equity investment revenue, which is also included in the Other sector, includes realized and unrealized gains and losses from non-venture
capital equity investments as well as equity income from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The decrease in equity investment revenue compared with 2005 reflects the $197 million gain on the sale of our
investment in Shinsei Bank in 2005.

Other revenue

Other revenue totaled $222 million in 2006, compared with $192 million in 2005, and included $93 million and $77 million, respectively, of expense reimbursements from joint ventures, for expenses incurred by Mellon on
behalf of the joint ventures. Other revenue in 2006 also included $50 million of merchant card fee revenue compared with $40 million in 2005 and $14 million of fees received from ACS under a transitional services agreement, compared
with $25 million in 2005.

Gains on sales of securities

Gains on the sales of securities totaled $3 million in 2006 and resulted from the sale of an equity investment in an insurance company, held in the securities available for sale portfolio. Gains on the sales of securities in 2005
totaled $1 million.

Supplemental information - joint ventures

Mellon accounts for its interests in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, with its share of the joint venture earnings recorded primarily as institutional trust and custody fee revenue. In April 2006,
the WestLB Mellon Asset Management joint venture was consummated. Equity income from this joint venture, which is included in Mellon Asset Management, is recorded as investment management revenue.

The following table presents the components of total joint venture net income for informational purposes to show the trend of growth for our 50% owned joint ventures
that are part of the Asset Servicing sector. In September 2005, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in the Russell/Mellon joint venture. For comparative purposes, the results of the Russell/Mellon joint venture have been removed from the 2005 and
2004 periods in the table below. In accordance with GAAP, the financial statements of the joint ventures are not consolidated into our financial statements.

Fee revenue - 2005
compared with 2004

Fee revenue of $4.214 billion in 2005 increased $560 million, or 15%, from $3.654 billion in 2004. Fee revenue in
2005 and 2004 included $197 million and $93 million of pre-tax gains respectively, from our investment in Shinsei Bank. Excluding these gains, fee revenue increased $456 million principally due to increases in investment management
revenue of $250 million, institutional trust and custody fee revenue of $150 million and distribution and service revenue of $48 million. The increase in investment management revenue in 2005 compared with 2004 primarily resulted from
net inflows, improved equity markets, stronger investment performance and acquisitions. Institutional trust and custody fees were impacted by net new business, improved market conditions and acquisitions. The increase in distribution and service
fees reflects higher market values and higher net sales volumes of mutual funds.

bp - basis points

Net interest revenue for all periods excludes the results of Mellon Ventures and our insurance premium finance business
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).

Net interest revenue includes the interest spread on interest-earning assets, loan fees, and revenue
or expense on derivative instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes. The majority of Mellons net interest revenue is earned from investing deposits generated in our Private Wealth Management, Asset Servicing, Payment
Solutions & Investor Services and Other sectors in high quality, short duration investment securities and money market investments. The balance is earned principally from loans to relationship customers in the Private Wealth Management and
Other sectors. Average interest-earning assets, as shown in the table on the following two pages, increased in 2006 compared with 2005 primarily due to higher levels of securities.

The decrease in net interest revenue on an FTE basis in 2006 compared with the prior year primarily reflects a $12 million benefit in 2005 associated with the cumulative effect of a client exercising its option
to extend the term of an existing leveraged lease in 2005, which was recorded in net interest revenue, (including a related lower FTE adjustment in 2006), a decrease in large corporate real estate loans and financing costs associated with the Walter
Scott & Partners acquisition, partially offset by a higher level of average interest earning assets.

The net interest margin decreased
21 basis points due to the impact of a flat to inverted yield curve on our adjustable rate investment securities portfolio, a decrease in the proportion of higher yielding loans, an increase in lower yielding securities and money market
investments, a lower proportion of noninterest-bearing deposits, as well as financing costs related to the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition.

For an analysis of the changes in volumes and rates affecting net interest revenue, see the following two pages.

2005
compared with 2004

The increase in net interest revenue on an FTE basis in 2005 compared with 2004 primarily reflects an increase in average securities
and the cumulative effect of a client exercising its option to extend the term of an existing leveraged lease in 2005, partially offset by the impact of a lower net interest margin.

|(c) | Balances include Federal Reserve Stock, preferred stock, loan securitizations and other investment securities. Yields are not meaningful as the interest income is primarily from
off-balance sheet loan securitizations.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(d) | Trust-preferred securities are discussed further in Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements. Beginning in 2004, averages are reflected as junior subordinated debentures.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(e) | Rates are not meaningful as the reduction in interest expense represents the cost of allocated funding of the assets of discontinued operations.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(f) | Noninterest-bearing deposits include $7.982 billion, $7.334 billion, $6.919 billion, $8.340 billion and $8.674 billion of domestic deposits, and
$23 million $29 million, $78 million, $30 million and $29 million of foreign deposits in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(g) | Excluding the impact of the One Mellon Center lease expense, the rates for Other funds borrowed were 1.44%, 5.04% and 2.66% in 2004, 2003 and 2002.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Interest and average yields/rates were calculated on a taxable equivalent basis, at tax rates approximating 35%, using dollar amounts in thousands and actual
number of days in the years, and are before the effect of reserve requirements. Loan fees, as well as nonaccrual loans and their related income effect, have been included in the calculation of average yields/rates.

Summary

Operating expense totaled $4.067 billion, an increase of $705 million, or 21%, compared with 2005. Operating expense in 2006 included:



| |  |  | $19 million recorded in the first quarter of 2006 in connection with payments, awards and benefits for Mellons former chairman and chief executive
officer pursuant to his employment agreement; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $59 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 consisting of $26 million in severance, impairment charges of $16 million, merger-related expenses
of $11 million, and $6 million in additional occupancy reserves.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The expense increase in 2006 also resulted from the impact of
acquisitions.

Operating expense in 2005 included $10 million related to the early extinguishment of debt and $5 million of expenses related to
the writedown of a small business previously identified as held for sale and for the move to Mellon Financial Centre in London.

Staff expense

Given Mellons mix of fee-based businesses, which are staffed primarily with high quality professionals,

staff expense comprised 53% of total operating expense in 2006. Staff expense is comprised of:



| |  |  | compensation expense
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | base salary expense, primarily driven by headcount;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of temporary staff and overtime; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | severance expense;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | incentive expense
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | additional compensation earned under a wide range of sales commission plans and incentive plans designed to reward a combination of individual, line of business and
corporate performance compared to target goals; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | stock option expense; and
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | employee benefits expense, primarily health and welfare benefits, payroll taxes and retirement benefits.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Staff expense was $2.147 billion in 2006, an increase of $407 million, or 23%, compared with $1.740 billion in 2005. The increase includes,
$62 million related to acquisitions, $33 million of severance expense and the $19 million of payments (primarily incentives) for Mellons former chairman and chief executive officer pursuant to his employment agreement. Staff
expense is comprised of the following:



| |  |  | Compensation expense was $1.126 billion in 2006, a $121 million, or 12%, increase compared with $1.005 billion in 2005. The increase was primarily a
result of acquisitions ($48 million), a $33 million increase in severance expense, the July 1, 2006 merit increase and support of business growth;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Incentive expense was $723 million in 2006, an increase of $247 million, or 52%, compared with $476 million in 2005. The increase primarily resulted
from growth mainly in the asset management and asset servicing businesses reflecting a higher proportion of asset management activities in our business mix; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Employee benefits expense was $298 million in 2006, an increase of $39 million, or 15%, compared with $259 million in 2005. The increase primarily
resulted from a $15 million increase in pension expense, higher payroll taxes, higher deferred compensation plan expense and higher health benefits expense.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mellon currently expects that the net periodic pension cost of $34 million in 2006 will decrease to approximately $20 million for the year 2007, assuming current foreign currency exchange rates, and
excluding any impact of our proposed merger with The Bank of New York. This projection reflects an increase in the discount rate to 6.00% from 5.75%, a decrease in the expected return on assets from 8.50% to 8.25%, and an unchanged assumed rate of
increase for compensation of 3.25%. The return on plan assets in 2006 for the funded plans was approximately 13.5%. The returns for the 3, 5 and 10 year periods ending in 2006 were approximately 11.2%, 8.4% and 8.7%. Accounting for pensions is
considered to be a critical accounting policy and is discussed on pages 58, 75, 95, 96 and 97.

SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004)

On Jan. 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Staff expense was approximately $6 million higher in 2006 due to
the adoption of this new accounting standard. See Notes 1 and 23 of Notes to Financial Statements for a further discussion of this accounting standard.

Non-staff expenses

Non-staff expenses include certain expenses that vary with the levels of business activity and levels of expensed
business investments, fixed infrastructure costs and expenses associated with corporate activities related to technology, compliance, productivity initiatives and corporate development. These expenses include:



| |  |  | professional, legal and other purchased services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | distribution and servicing;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | occupancy and equipment;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | business development (travel, entertainment and advertising);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | communications (telecommunications, postage and delivery); and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other (government assessments, forms and supplies, operational errors, etc.).

Non-staff expenses totaled $1.920 billion in 2006, a $298 million, or 18%, increase reflecting:



| |  |  | A $126 million, or 33%, increase in distribution and servicing expense related primarily to an increased level of mutual fund sales outside of the U.S.
Distribution and servicing expense represents amounts paid to other financial intermediaries to cover their costs for distribution (marketing support, administration and record keeping) and servicing of mutual funds. Generally, increases in
distribution and servicing expense reflect higher net sales. Distribution and servicing expense in any one year is not fully recovered by higher distribution and service revenue, rather it contributes to future growth in mutual fund management
revenue reflecting the growth in mutual fund assets generated through certain distribution channels.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A $72 million, or 16%, increase in professional, legal and other purchased services primarily related to new business generation and strategic initiatives, as
well as the $11 million of merger related expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A $19 million, or 20%, increase in business development expense primarily in support of new business generation.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A $17 million, or 66%, increase in the amortization of intangible assets as a result of an $11 million impairment charge at DPM Mellon and the impact of
the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Higher other expense related principally to the growth in our ABN AMRO Mellon and CIBC Mellon joint ventures and the associated higher amounts of pass-through
payments ($23 million), the September 2005 acquisition of Mellon Analytical Solutions (MAS) and a $5 million impairment charge related to HBV Alternative Investment Strategies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acquisitions accounted for $55 million of the increase in non-staff expenses in 2006.

2005 compared with 2004

Operating expense for 2005 totaled $3.362 billion, an increase of $362 million, or
12%, compared with $3.000 billion in 2004. The increase primarily reflects an $85 million increase in incentive expense, a $51 million increase in employee benefits expense and an $48 million increase in compensation expense.
Non-staff expense increased $178 million reflecting a $58 million increase in distribution and servicing, higher expenses in support of business growth and product development, acquisitions and from providing transitional services to ACS.

Operating leverage

Operating leverage is
measured by comparing the percentage rate of increase in revenue to the percentage rate of increase in expenses. One of our strategic goals is to deliver positive operating leverage over an economic cycle. The table below details our operating
leverage results for 2006 and 2005.

|(a) | The 2005 and 2004 revenue bases exclude the gains from the sale of Mellons investment in Shinsei Bank of $197 million and $93 million, respectively.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(b) | The 2006 expense base excludes $19 million of expenses in connection with payments, awards and benefits payable to Mellons former chairman and chief executive officer,
pursuant to his employment agreement. The 2006 expense base also excludes $59 million of expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 consisting of severance ($26 million), impairment charges ($16 million), merger-related expenses
($11 million) and additional occupancy reserves ($6 million). The 2005 expense base excludes $15 million of expenses related to the early extinguishment of debt ($10 million) and $5 million of expenses related to the writedown of
a small business and for additional charges for the move to Mellon Financial Centre in London. The 2004 expense base excludes $19 million of expenses associated with the writedown of two small businesses; $24 million of expenses related to
vacating 10 leased locations in London and moving into Mellon Financial Centre in London; and a $17 million occupancy expense reversal related to the reduction of a sublease loss reserve following the execution of a new lease on our Pittsburgh
headquarters building.

Income taxes

The
provision for income taxes from continuing operations totaled $314 million in 2006, compared with $418 million in 2005 and $348 million in 2004. Mellons effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for 2006 was 25.2%
compared with 32.1% in 2005 and 30.8% in 2004. The effective tax rate in 2006 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of a tax benefit of $74 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006, the majority of which
related to a reversal of deferred tax liabilities due to managements decision to indefinitely reinvest earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 23. Excluding this tax
benefit, the tax rate in 2006 would have been 31.1%. It is currently anticipated that the effective tax rate will be approximately 32.5% in 2007. For additional information, see Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Lease-in-Lease-out

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed
to disallow certain tax deductions previously taken, related to Mellons participation in several lease-in-lease-out (LILO) transactions for years 1997-2003. If any of the deductions previously taken are disallowed, they will be deductible in
future years. We believe that we properly reported the tax effects of LILO transactions based on statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time they were negotiated. We have reached a settlement for these years with the IRS; however, final
settlement is subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress. It remains possible that the issues could be litigated. On Jan. 4, 2007, the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina
granted summary judgment to the United States in a court case involving another unrelated financial institutions LILO transactions. The financial institution has indicated that it intends to appeal the decision. We continue to believe we have
adequately accrued for any tax and interest exposures related to LILO transactions.

Business sectors

Mellons business
sectors reflect our management structure, the characteristics of our products and services, and the categories of customers to which those products and services are delivered. Our lines of business serve two distinct major types of clients:



| |  |  | Financial institutions, corporations and government bodies
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | High net worth individuals
| | - |  | --------------------------

Lines of business that
offer similar or related products and services to common or similar client decision makers have been combined into five business sectors: Mellon Asset Management; Private Wealth Management; Asset Servicing; Payment Solutions & Investor
Services (PS&IS); and Other.

In 2006, the following changes were made to the presentation of Mellons business sectors:



| |  |  | In the first quarter of 2006, the financial results of Mellon 1stBusiness Bank, National Association were moved to Private Wealth Management from Other. This change reflects the similar nature of products and clients of
Mellon 1stBusiness Bank with other reporting units in Private Wealth Management, as well as our organizational
structure, as the management of Mellon 1stBusiness Bank reports to the head of Private Wealth Management.
Historical sector results for Private Wealth Management and Other have been restated to reflect this change.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consistent with refinements to our economic capital models, as well as changes in business activity and risk profiles, in the first quarter of 2006, we adjusted our
allocations of common equity and trust-preferred securities to better reflect the operational, credit, market and strategic risk inherent in each business sector. Overall, slightly less capital was allocated to PS&IS, Mellon Asset Management and
Private Wealth Management and slightly more to Asset Servicing, but the changes were not significant.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the third quarter of 2006, the financial results of our insurance premium financing business (AFCO) were moved from the Other sector into discontinued
operations. Historical results in Other have been restated.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the fourth quarter of 2006, the financial results of Mellon Ventures were moved from the Other sector into discontinued operations. Historical results in Other
have been restated.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the fourth quarter of 2006, we reclassified a segment of our Working Capital Solutions business from PS&IS to Business Exits in the Other sector. This
decision was based on our intent not to renew certain contracts with agencies of the Federal government that expire in 2007. Historical results in PS&IS and Other have been reclassified.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the fourth quarter of 2006, we reclassified our asset administration business in Brazil to the Mellon Asset Management sector from Business Exits in the Other
sector as a result of a decision to strategically grow the business. Historical results in Mellon Asset Management and Other have been reclassified.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results of our business sectors are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis.



| |  |  | Revenue amounts reflect fee revenue generated directly by each sector, as well as fee revenue transferred between sectors under revenue transfer agreements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net interest revenue includes interest revenue or expense generated directly by each sector or allocated to each sector from Corporate Treasury under a transfer
pricing system. Mellon employs a funds transfer pricing system under which Corporate Treasury buys and sells funds internally across all business sectors using internal transfer rates that reflect the interest sensitivity and maturity
characteristics of assets and liabilities. Under this funds transfer pricing system, Corporate Treasury compensates deposit-generating business lines and charges asset-generating business lines. In addition, included in this system is a funds credit
for allocated common equity and loan loss reserves. Net interest revenue as reflected in the financial results of

the business sectors represents the net spread earned on their assets, liabilities and capital.



| |  |  | In order to maintain consistent management reporting across the business sectors, internal rate schedules have been established for the provision of services by one
Mellon area to another. These policies serve as the principal guideline for charging costs of services, whether the charges occur within the same legal entity or across legal entities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A charge related to corporate overhead is reflected in the results of the business sectors. Corporate overhead is allocated to the business sectors based primarily
on allocated common equity but also using other measures where appropriate. Included as corporate overhead are costs related to executive offices, parent company expenses, executive compensation plans and corporate activities provided by our shared
services departments not directly assignable to a sector.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We allocate capital to the business sectors to reflect managements assessment of risk consistent with the economic capital methodologies as discussed on
pages 36 and 37. The capital allocations may not be fully representative of the capital levels that would be required in the marketplace if these sectors were nonaffiliated business units.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The accounting policies of the business sectors are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements except:
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other fee revenue, net interest revenue and income taxes differ from the amounts shown in the Consolidated Income Statement because amounts presented in Business
Sectors are on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE); and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | credit quality expense (revenue) for the sectors with loans is presented on a net charge-off (recovery) basis, and charges for litigation settlements are generally
recorded when the related matters are settled and payment is made.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, business sector information is reported on a continuing
operations basis for all periods presented. For a discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Following is a
discussion of Mellons five business sectors. In the tables that follow, the income statement amounts are presented in millions of dollars and the assets under management, administration or custody are period-end market values and are presented
in billions of dollars. The operations of acquired businesses are integrated with the existing business sectors soon after most acquisitions are completed. As a result of the integration of staff support functions, management of customer
relationships, operating processes and the financial impact of funding the acquisitions, we cannot accurately determine the impact of acquisitions on income before taxes and therefore do not report it.

The results of the Mellon Asset Management sector are mainly driven by the period-end and average levels of assets
managed as well as the mix of those assets, as shown in the table on page 10. Managed equity assets typically generate higher percentage fees than money market and fixed-income assets. Also, actively managed assets typically generate higher
management fees than indexed or passively managed assets of the same type. In addition, performance fees may be generated when the investment performance of products exceeds various benchmarks and satisfies other criteria. Results for this sector
are also impacted by sales of fee-based products such as fixed and variable annuities and separately managed accounts. Expenses in this sector are mainly driven by staffing costs, incentives, distribution and servicing expense, and product
distribution costs. On Oct. 2, 2006, Mellon completed the acquisition of Walter Scott & Partners, an Edinburgh, Scotland based equity investment firm specializing in global and international strategies with $28 billion in assets
under management at the date of acquisition.

Assets under management for this sector, before amounts subadvised for other sectors, were $820 billion

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



---

The results of the Private Wealth Management sector are driven by the level and mix of assets managed and custodied and the level of
activity in client accounts. Net interest revenue is determined by the level of interest spread between loans and deposits. Expenses of this sector are driven mainly by staff expense in the investment management, sales, service and support groups.

Total fee and other revenue increased $42 million, or 12%, in 2006, compared with 2005 resulting from net new business, improved equity markets, and
to a lesser degree the acquisitions of City Capital (December 2005) in Atlanta and the Planned Giving Services Group of U.S. Trust Corporation (March 2006). The decrease in net interest revenue in 2006 compared with 2005 resulted from narrower
spreads between interest earned and interest paid on deposit accounts. Operating expense increased $47 million, or 13%, primarily reflecting the expense impact of business growth initiatives, including the impact of additional offices and sales
representatives, and increased marketing expense. In 2006, five new Private Wealth Management office locations were opened, including one in London England, and 20 (net) sales officers were added. Income before taxes decreased $12 million,
or 4%, in 2006 compared with 2005. Client assets increased $9 billion, or 10%, from Dec. 31, 2005, primarily resulting from improved market conditions, net new business, particularly in Family Office, as well as acquisitions.

2005 compared with 2004

Income before taxes increased
$18 million, or 6%, in 2005 compared with 2004. Total revenue in this sector increased 6% in 2005 compared with 2004 reflecting higher investment management fee revenue and higher net interest revenue. Investment management revenue was higher
mainly due to net new business, improved equity markets, and acquisitions. The increase in net interest revenue largely resulted from higher average loans and deposits. Operating expense increased 7% in 2005 mainly resulting from higher staff
expense, which was driven by merit increases, acquisitions and business growth initiatives, and increased incentive expense due to improved investment performance. Client assets were $86 billion at Dec. 31, 2005, an increase of 10% from
Dec. 31, 2004, primarily reflecting net inflows, equity market appreciation and acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of the Asset Servicing sector are driven by a number of factors which include the level of transaction activity and extent of
services provided including custody, accounting, administration, daily valuations, performance measurement, securities lending, foreign exchange trading and investment manager backoffice outsourcing, as well as the market value of assets under
administration and custody. Market interest rates impact both securities lending revenue and the earnings on client cash balances. Foreign exchange trading revenues are directly influenced by the volume of client transactions and the spread realized
on such transactions, and indirectly influenced by other factors including market volatility in major currencies, the level of cross-border assets held in custody for clients, and the level and nature of underlying cross-border investment and other
transactions undertaken by corporate and institutional clients. Fee revenue from Eagle Investment Systems (Eagle) is dependent on investment manager discretionary spending for license and development fees and professional services. Sector expenses
are principally driven by staffing levels and technology investments necessary to process transaction volumes. Fees paid to subcustodians are driven by market values of global assets and related transaction volumes.

Institutional trust and custody revenue, excluding securities lending revenue, increased $147 million, or 24%, in 2006 compared with 2005 reflecting:



| |  |  | net new business conversions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | the September 2005 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in MAS; excluding the impact of this acquisition, institutional trust and custody revenue increased
18%.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a 76% increase in net earnings from the ABN AMRO Mellon and CIBC Mellon joint ventures; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assets under custody or administration were $4.453 trillion, an increase of 15% compared with Dec. 31, 2005, reflecting net favorable market conditions, a
higher level of conversions and the effect of foreign exchange rates. Net new custody conversions totaled $232 billion. Business wins totaled $509 billion in 2006, a portion of which are included in current year net new custody
conversions.

Securities lending revenue increased $12 million, or 11%, reflecting higher volumes and improved spreads. The $68 million, or 25%,
increase in other fee revenue primarily resulted from higher foreign exchange revenue, due to higher client volumes and increased expense reimbursements from joint ventures.

Net interest revenue increased $24 million, or 29%, in 2006 compared with 2005, primarily reflecting higher earnings credits on foreign and domestic deposit balances. Operating expenses increased
$212 million, or 25%, in 2006 compared with 2005. This increase reflects the acquisition of MAS, incentives in support of business growth, increased joint venture pass-through payments, expenses associated with new business, business
development initiatives, the $11 million impairment charge related to DPM and severance expense.

2005 compared with 2004

Income before taxes increased $43 million, or 25%, in 2005 compared with 2004, reflecting revenue growth and positive operating leverage. Institutional trust and
custody revenue increased 25% compared with 2004, reflecting net new business, growth in professional services offered by Eagle, improved market conditions and the acquisitions of DPM and MAS. Securities lending revenue and foreign exchange trading
revenue also contributed to the increase, reflecting improved volumes. Net interest revenue increased $13 million, or 18%, in 2005 primarily due to higher average levels of deposits.

Operating expense increased 21% reflecting higher staff expense, primarily from acquisitions and higher incentive expense and higher non-staff expenses primarily in
support of business growth, product development and acquisitions. Assets under custody or administration for this sector were $3.874 trillion at Dec. 31, 2005, an increase of $675 billion, or 21%, compared with Dec. 31, 2004,
resulting from net new business conversions of approximately $400 billion and market appreciation.

The Payment Solutions & Investor Services (PS&IS) sector provides working capital solutions (formerly
Global Cash Management) and shareholder services to corporations and institutions. Working Capital Solutions and Mellon Investor Services revenue is driven by the volume of transactions processed and types of services provided. The other significant
driver of Working Capital Solutions results is net interest revenue earned from the deposit balances generated by activity across the business operations. Investor services revenue includes earnings related to customer deposit balances maintained in
an agency capacity. Customer balances held in an agency capacity and not reflected on Mellons balance sheet totaled $401 million at Dec. 31, 2006 and $341 million at Dec. 31, 2005. In Mellon Financial Markets, our
full-service broker-dealer subsidiary, revenue is driven by the volume and size of our fixed income securities transactions in both the primary and secondary markets, the volume of money market fund balances distributed by MFM, as well as the
underwriting of transactions for clients in the public finance, asset backed finance and debt capital markets groups. Sector expenses are driven by staff, equipment and space required to support the services provided by the sector.

Income before taxes decreased $7 million, or 5%, in 2006 compared with 2005. PS&IS fee revenue decreased $22 million, or 5%, in 2006 compared with 2005 due
to:



| |  |  | higher credits for compensating balances in lieu of fees (recorded in net interest revenue); and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lower processing volumes at Working Capital Solutions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Net interest revenue increased $29 million, or 21%, in 2006 compared with 2005, resulting from the impact of higher deposit levels, including higher compensating balances, as well as increased spreads reflecting the higher interest
rates at which excess deposits were invested. Operating expense increased $15 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher staff expense, including severance expense recorded in connection with strategic actions to improve the operating margins of
our Working Capital Solutions and Mellon Investor Services businesses and higher expenses related to product development.

2005 compared with 2004

Income before taxes for this sector in 2005 compared with 2004 decreased $32 million, or 18%. The decrease in fee revenue compared with the prior
year primarily resulted from lower ancillary services revenue at Mellon Investor Services, lower processing volumes at Working Capital Solutions and higher credits for compensating balances in lieu of fees, partially offset by higher Working Capital
Solutions revenue generated by the SourceNet acquisition.

The increase in net interest revenue reflects increased spreads on Mellon Investor Services and
Working Capital Solutions customer deposits. The increase in operating expense primarily resulted from the SourceNet acquisition and higher expenses related to product development.

The Other sector includes:



| |  |  | Corporate lending, which includes credit products for large corporations
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Business exits activity, which includes
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | the results of large ticket leasing, which is in a runoff mode;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cash management revenue and expense from contracts that expire in 2007 with agencies of the Federal government that will not be renewed; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | several small non-strategic businesses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Corporate treasury activities; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | certain corporate revenue and expense that does not relate to, and therefore has not been fully allocated for management reporting purposes to, the business
sectors.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue in the Other sector primarily reflects:



| |  |  | revenue from Corporate and Bank owned life insurance;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cash management revenue from contracts with agencies of the Federal government noted above;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | net interest revenue from the corporate lending and leasing portfolio;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | gains (losses) from the sale of securities and other assets; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interest revenue on capital in excess of amounts of economic capital allocated to the business sectors, net of funding costs of other assets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating expense includes:



| |  |  | direct expenses supporting the remaining corporate lending activities and contracts with agencies of the Federal government noted above; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portion of direct expenses of central shared services and corporate activities not assigned or allocated to the operations of each business sector under our
methodology.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average economic capital represents capital in excess of amounts of economic capital allocated to the business sectors, as
well as economic capital required to support corporate lending, business exits and corporate treasury.

Our credit strategy has been to exit all credit
relationships for which a broad fee-based relationship resulting from the cross-sale of our fee-based services does not exist. In 2006, we sold our large corporate real estate loan portfolio, which had been in business exits. The loans and leases
included in business exits are primarily Mellons large ticket lease portfolio, which was principally transaction-based.

A loss from continuing
operations before taxes of $160 million was recorded in the Other sector for 2006 compared to a net income before taxes of $193 million in 2005, primarily resulting from:



| |  |  | a decrease of $264 million in fee and other revenue resulting from the $197 million pre-tax gain in 2005 from the sale of our investment in Shinsei Bank,
lower revenue in business exits, including a decrease in cash management revenue and lower revenue recorded in 2006 from a transitional services agreement with ACS;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $29 million decrease in net interest revenue reflecting the sale of our large corporate real estate loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2006 and the
impact of a flat to inverted yield curve on our adjustable rate investment securities portfolio; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $75 million increase in operating expense primarily due to the $19 million pre-tax charge in connection with payments, awards and benefits paid to our
former chairman and chief executive officer, pursuant to his employment agreement, higher corporate incentives and pension expense, higher severance, merger related expenses, occupancy reserves and other expenses.

| |  |  | a $10 million pre-tax charge associated with the early extinguishment of debt recorded in the first quarter of 2005 (recorded in operating expense);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $3 million additional writedown of an investment in a business and a $2 million additional charge associated with the move to Mellon Financial Centre in
London, both recorded in the first quarter of 2005 and both related to charges initially recorded in 2004 (recorded in operating expense); and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $17 million provision for credit losses (recorded in credit quality expense).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recorded in 2004:



| |  |  | the $93 million pre-tax gain from the sale of approximately 35% of our investment in Shinsei Bank (recorded in noninterest revenue);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the $19 million pre-tax charge for the writedown of two small businesses, one of which was sold in 2004 (recorded in operating expense);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the $24 million pre-tax charge for the move to Mellon Financial Centre in London (recorded in operating expense);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the $17 million pre-tax sublease loss reserve reversal related to the execution of a new lease on our headquarters building in Pittsburgh (recorded in
operating expense);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $8 million of gains from the sale of securities (recorded in noninterest revenue); and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $15 million negative provision for credit losses (recorded in credit quality expense).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital

Mellon is committed to maintaining its capital ratios above
the regulatory definition of well capitalized. In addition, we strive to maintain a minimum tangible shareholders equity to assets ratio (as defined below) in a target range of 4.25% to 5.25%. This ratio was 4.74% at Dec. 31,
2006, compared with 5.19% at Dec. 31, 2005. Mellon considers internally generated tangible capital to be available for the following:



| |  |  | investing in our business, internally or through acquisitions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | return to shareholders through dividends or share repurchases.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

The decline in the tangible shareholders equity to assets ratio at Dec. 31, 2006 compared with Dec. 31, 2005, reflects goodwill and intangibles created in connection with the acquisition of Walter
Scott & Partners, the $159 million net of tax impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 (Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans), a larger balance sheet and stock repurchases, partially offset by
earnings retention, 2.8 million shares of common stock issued in the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition and a reduction in the level of unrealized mark-to-market losses in the securities available for sale portfolio. SFAS No. 158
is discussed further on pages 78 and 79.

The 41 basis point increase in Mellons total shareholders equity to assets ratio at
Dec. 31, 2006 compared with Dec. 31, 2005 reflects earnings retention, partially offset by the impact of a larger balance sheet and the impact of adopting SFAS No. 158.

|(b) | Shareholders equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. If the benefit of the deferred tax liability associated
with tax deductible goodwill is deducted from goodwill as provided for in guidance from the Federal Reserve on the inclusion of trust-preferred securities in Tier I capital, the tangible shareholders equity to asset ratio would have been
5.09%, 5.67% and 5.01%.

The Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios increased compared with Dec. 31, 2005, reflecting
earnings retention, the impact of the issuance of $372 million of Tier I qualifying trust-preferred securities, and 2.8 million shares of common stock issued in the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition, partially offset by the
goodwill and intangibles created in the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition and a higher period-end balance sheet. In December 2006, the regulatory agencies announced an interim decision that banks and bank holding companies should exclude
from regulatory capital any amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the adoption and application of SFAS No. 158. Accordingly, the $159 million impact to Mellon of adopting SFAS No. 158 has been
excluded from the calculation of the Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios.

During 2006, Mellon completed two share repurchase agreements with
broker-dealer counterparties: in the first quarter of 2006, we repurchased 2 million shares of our outstanding common stock through a purchase agreement with a broker-dealer at an initial price of $34.25 per share for a total of
$69 million; and in the second quarter of 2006 we repurchased 1 million shares through a purchase agreement with a broker-dealer at an initial price of $35.68 per share for a total of $36 million. Purchases through broker-dealer
counterparties are subject to purchase price adjustments based on the actual price paid for the shares, and other related costs, by the counterparty. The price adjustment can be settled, at Mellons option, in cash or shares of common stock. In
the first quarter of 2006, we settled share repurchase agreements entered into in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 by issuing 196,000 shares. The second quarter of 2006 repurchase agreement was settled in the second quarter of 2006 by issuing
approximately 21,500 shares. During 2006, we also repurchased 1.9 million of our common shares from the Mellon Bank Retirement Plan for a total of $68 million. A pre-determined number of shares were purchased per day at the volume
weighted average price on each day as reported by Bloomberg. No fees for these transactions were paid by the Plan. We intend to repurchase the remaining 1.1 million shares held by the Plan in the first half of 2007.

In September 2005, Mellons Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to 25 million shares of common stock. During 2006,
10.3 million common shares were repurchased by Mellon under this program. At Dec. 31, 2006 11.7 million common shares were available for repurchase under the September 2005 repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date.
Since Jan. 1, 1999, Mellons Board of Directors has authorized seven repurchase programs for a total of 170 million shares. Share reissuances totaled 10.4 million common shares in 2006, primarily for employee benefit plan
purposes, as well as certain acquisitions.

Regulatory capital

Mellon and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatoryand possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Mellons financial results. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Mellon and
its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Mellons and its banking subsidiaries assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classification also are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

For a banking institution to qualify as well capitalized, its Tier I, Total (Tier I plus Tier II) and Leverage Capital ratios must be at least 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. All of Mellons banking subsidiaries
qualified as well capitalized at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005. Mellon intends to maintain the ratios of its banking subsidiaries above the well-capitalized levels. By maintaining ratios above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines, Mellons
banking subsidiaries receive the benefit of lower FDIC deposit insurance assessments.

In September 2005, the U.S. regulatory agencies announced their
revised plans for the U.S. implementation of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework (BASEL II). The agencies have issued a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding the domestic
implementation of BASEL II in September 2006. BASEL II applies to internationally active U.S. banking organizations, as defined by BASEL II, but can be adopted by other U.S. banking organizations. Currently, Mellon is not an
internationally active banking organization, under the definition. The agencies have proposed a revised implementation timeline for BASEL II. Under the revised timeline, the first opportunity for a U.S. banking institution to conduct a parallel
run would be January 2008. In addition, U.S. institutions adopting the BASEL II capital rules would be subject to a minimum three-year transition period (ending in 2011) during which the agencies would apply limits on the amount by which each
institutions risk-based capital could decline with the application of BASEL II. Mellon is analyzing the potential impact of all proposed revisions on its risk-based capital.

CORPORATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk overview

The understanding,
identification and management of risk are essential elements for the successful management of Mellon. The primary risk exposures are:



|             |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|------------ |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Type of risk |  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|             | 
|Credit       |  | Default risk on the balance sheet for loans, commitments, corporate and bank owned life insurance, receivables and other assets where realization of the value of the asset is dependent upon a
counterpartys ability to perform.
|             | 
|Operational  |  | Risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel and systems or from external non-credit or market events.                                                                                          
|             | 
|Market       |  | Risk of potential valuation changes in foreign exchange and other derivative positions and in fixed income instruments, as well as other equity investments. Includes interest rate
risk.                                         
|             | 
|Liquidity    |  | The possibility that Mellon will be unable to fund present and future financial obligations.                                                                                                                                      
|             | 
|Strategic    |  | Risk arising from adverse business decisions or the improper implementation of such decisions.                                                                                                                                    
|             | 
|Reputation   |  | Risk arising from negative public opinion resulting from failures of process, failures of strategy or failures of corporate governance.                                                                                           

We control and monitor these risks with policies, procedures, training and various levels of managerial and Board
of Directors oversight. Because of the nature of our business, external factors beyond our control may, at times, result in losses to Mellon or our customers.

Risk is managed to meet certain tolerances approved by the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Risk-types for which tolerances have been approved include: Credit, Operational, Trading, Critical Mass Funding, Interest Rate, Foreign
Currency Translation, and Liquidity.

The most senior management level focal point to evaluate and monitor risk is the Senior Risk Management Committee.
This Committee monitors, evaluates and recommends comprehensive policies and solutions to deal with all aspects of risk (both existing and emerging) and assesses the adequacy of any risk remediation plans in the businesses. The Committee works with
our Risk Management & Compliance Department and our line-of-business heads in this process. The Senior Risk Management Committee also provides oversight for our next tier of management level committees, which consist of the Market Risk,
Credit Risk, Operational and Technology Risk, Strategic Risk, Fiduciary Risk, Compliance and Community Reinvestment Act Committees.

Economic capital

Mellon has implemented a methodology to quantify economic capital. We define economic capital as the capital required to protect against unexpected
economic losses over a one-year period at a level consistent with the solvency of a firm with a target debt rating. Mellon quantifies capital requirements for the risks mentioned above, which are inherent in our business activities, using
statistical modeling techniques and then aggregates them at the consolidated level. Beginning in 2006, a capital reduction, or diversification benefit, was applied to reflect the unlikely event of experiencing an extremely large loss in each type of
risk at the same time. Economic capital levels are directly related to our risk profile. As such, it has become a part of our internal capital assessment process and, along with regulatory capital, is a key component to ensuring that Mellons
actual level of capital is commensurate with our risk profile, and is sufficient to provide the financial flexibility to undertake future strategic business initiatives.

The framework and methodologies to quantify each of Mellons risk-types have been developed by the Risk Management & Compliance Department and are designed to be consistent with our risk management
principles. The framework has been approved by senior management and has been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Due to the evolving nature of quantification techniques, we expect to continue to

refine the methodologies used to estimate our economic capital requirements.

Credit risk

Credit risk exists in financial instruments both on and off the
balance sheet. Financial instruments such as loans and leases are on the balance sheet. Off-balance sheet credit exposures include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees, commercial letters of
credit, custodian securities lent with indemnification against broker default of return of securities, and liquidity support provided to Three Rivers Funding Corp. (TRFC).

The objective of the credit risk management process is to reduce the risk of loss if a customer fails to perform according to the terms of a transaction. Our management maintains a comprehensive centralized process
through which Mellon establishes accountability and exposure limits, extends new loans, monitors credit quality, actively manages problem credits and disposes of nonperforming assets.

We manage both on- and off-balance sheet credit risk by maintaining and adhering to written credit policies, which specify general underwriting criteria as well as underwriting standards for specific industries and
control credit exposure by borrower, counterparty, degree of risk, industry, country and aggregate portfolio management. These measures are adopted by Mellons Risk Management & Compliance Department in conjunction with our lending
units and are regularly updated to reflect the evaluation of developments in economic, political and operating environments that could affect lending risks. We may adjust credit exposure to individual industries or customers through loan sales,
syndications, participations, credit default swaps and the use of master netting agreements. In addition, credit risk to the large corporate market is managed generally by lending only to investment grade or equivalent customers that have existing
relationships with our non-credit fee-based businesses.

Most credit extensions are approved independently by senior credit officers in Mellons Risk
Management & Compliance Department and officers in our lending departments. Smaller loans are underwritten according to pre-approved credit standards. Required approvals are determined by the dollar amount and risk characteristics of the
credit extension. Collateral obtained, if any, for the credit facilities provided is based on industry practice as well as the credit assessment of the customer. The type and amount of collateral vary, but generally includes marketable securities;
inventory; property, plant and equipment; other assets; and/or income-producing commercial properties with appraised values that exceed the contractual amount of the credit facilities by pre-approved ratios.

Mellon continually assesses the risk of its credit facilities, and assigns a numerical risk rating to substantially all commercial extensions of credit. Our lending
officers have the primary responsibility for monitoring their portfolios, identifying emerging problem loans and recommending changes in risk ratings. To anticipate or detect problems, lending units and credit management use processes designed both
for specific customers and for industries that could be affected by adverse market or economic conditions. When signs of credit deterioration are detected, credit recovery or other specialists become involved to minimize exposure to potential future
credit losses. The Credit Review division of Mellons Audit and Risk Review Department provides an independent assessment of credit ratings, credit quality and the credit management process. Mellons Board of Directors maintains oversight
of credit activity through a series of periodic reports.

For a further discussion of the credit risk associated with off-balance sheet financial
instruments and derivative instruments used for trading and risk management purposes, see Notes 26 and 27 of Notes to Financial Statements.

|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(c) | Approximately $4.8 billion, or 80%, of the total loan portfolio is to Private Wealth Management customers.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: There were no concentrations of loans to borrowers engaged in similar activities, other than those shown in this table, that exceeded 10% of total loans at
year-end.

The total loan portfolio decreased $584 million, or 9%, at Dec. 31, 2006, compared with Dec. 31, 2005, primarily due to the
classification of AFCO, our insurance premium financing subsidiary and its Canadian affiliate, CAFO, Inc., to discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2006. In accordance with GAAP, prior period balance sheet captions have not been restated.
Loans in this business totaled $805 million, including $172 million of international loans originated at CAFO, at Dec. 31, 2005; $280 million, including $34 million of international loans in 2004; $491 million,
including $60 million of international loans in 2003; and $557 million, including $153 million of international loans in 2002. Partially offsetting the decrease in loans was a $277 million increase in commercial real estate
loans. At Dec. 31, 2006, the composition of the loan portfolio was 63% commercial and 37% personal.

Commercial and financial

The domestic commercial and financial loan portfolio primarily consists of loans to corporate borrowers in the financial and insurance, energy and utilities, service and
manufacturing industries.

Numerous risk factors impact this portfolio, including industry-specific risks, such as:



| |  |  | the economy;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | new technology;
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | competition;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | labor rates; and
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | cyclicality;
| | - |  | ------------

and customer-specific factors such as:



| |  |  | cash flow;
| | - |  | ----------



| |  |  | credit structure;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | operating controls; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | asset quality.
| | - |  | --------------

The decrease in commercial and
financial loans at Dec. 31, 2006 compared to Dec. 31, 2005 primarily resulted from classifying the insurance premium finance loans as discontinued operations in 2006. At year-end, 81% of the loans and 96% of the unfunded loan commitments
to our large corporate commercial and financial customers had an investment grade credit rating.

Commercial real estate

The commercial real estate loan portfolio consists of commercial mortgages, which generally are secured by nonresidential and multifamily residential properties, and
commercial construction loans generally with maturities of 60 months or less.



38    Mellon Financial Corporation

CORPORATE RISK MANAGEMENT



---

Commercial real estate loans carry many of the same customer and industry risks as the commercial and financial portfolio, as
well as contractor/subcontractor performance risk in the case of commercial construction loans and cash flow risk based on project economics. In the first quarter of 2006, we sold $565 million of large corporate real estate loans. These loans
had previously been designated as held for sale and reclassified to other assets at Dec. 31, 2005.

The increase in commercial real estate loans at
Dec. 31, 2006 compared with Dec. 31, 2005 resulted from increased construction financing in California and Florida. This portfolio is of relatively short-term maturity and is well diversified by property type.

Foreign outstandings

Foreign outstandings include loans,
acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments and related accrued interest. Country distributions are based on the location of the obligor. Short term interest-bearing deposits with banks represent
approximately 95% of our foreign outstandings. Foreign assets are subject to the general risks of conducting business in each foreign country, including economic uncertainty and government regulations. In addition, foreign assets may be impacted by
changes in demand or pricing resulting from movements in exchange rates or other factors. The following table presents the foreign outstandings in any country where such outstandings exceed .75% of our total assets.

Nonperforming assets

Nonperforming assets are assets for which revenue recognition has been suspended or is restricted. Nonperforming assets include both nonaccrual loans and acquired property, primarily other real estate owned (OREO) acquired in connection
with the collection effort on loans. Past-due commercial loans are those that are contractually past due 90 days or more but are not on nonaccrual status because they are well secured and in the process of collection. Past-due personal loans,
excluding mortgages, are generally not classified as nonaccrual but are charged off on a formula basis upon reaching various stages of delinquency. Additional information regarding Mellons practices for placing assets on nonaccrual status is
presented in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans was less than $1 million at both Dec. 31, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005; $1 million at Dec. 31, 2004; and $2 million at both Dec. 31, 2003 and 2002.

Past-due loans totaled $5 million at Dec. 31, 2006; less than $1 million at Dec. 31, 2005; $5 million at Dec. 31, 2004;
$2 million at Dec. 31, 2003 and $3 million at Dec. 31, 2002. These are loans that were 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest that are not classified as nonaccrual because the loans were well secured and in the
process of collection. At Dec. 31, 2006, loans that were 30-59 days and 60-89 days or more past due as to principal and interest totaled $14 million and $1 million, respectively.

Provision and reserve for credit exposure

Mellons accounting policy
regarding the reserve for credit exposure is regarded as a critical accounting policy in that it involves significant management valuation judgments. This policy is discussed on pages 57 and 58.

The allocation of the reserve for credit exposure is presented below. This allocation is judgmental, and the entire reserve is available to absorb credit losses
regardless of the type of loss.

The decrease in the total reserve for loan losses at Dec. 31, 2006 compared with Dec. 31, 2005 primarily
reflects $3 million transferred to assets of discontinued operations and an overall improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The increase in reserve for unfunded commitments at Dec. 31, 2006 reflects a shift towards longer
maturities and concerns regarding the credit quality

of certain unfunded commitments to customers in the transportation industry.

Mellons management concluded that, at Dec. 31, 2006, the overall reserve level was appropriate to recognize inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed this conclusion and concurred.

The provision for credit losses totaled $2 million in 2006 compared with
$17 million in 2005 and a negative $14 million in 2004. We recorded $1 million of credit losses and $1 million of credit recoveries in 2006 compared with net losses of $36 million in 2005 and net recoveries of
$1 million in 2004. The higher net provision and net credit losses in 2005 compared with 2006 was the result of $37 million of credit losses on regional airline leases in 2005. The level of credit losses and recoveries relative to
outstanding loans can vary from period to period as a result of the size and number of individual credits that may require charge-off and the effects of changing economic conditions.

Operational risk

The Board of
Directors has approved the operational risk management process objective of preventing or minimizing errors or service delivery failures that result in: an adverse impact on customers; financial losses; compliance breaches; or reputation damage.

Operational risk is managed day to day by embedded risk managers in each business sector and major line of business.

The Risk Management & Compliance Department oversees these activities and provides reporting to the management risk committees and the Risk
Committee of the Board of Directors. Reporting identifies emerging risks, status of key risk indicators, operational losses, uncleared off-balance sheet reconciling items and areas of our enterprise where operating processes exceed Board-approved
tolerances. Risk management committees approve new products, process changes, new technology and monitor the status of areas exceeding Board-approved tolerances.

Oversight responsibilities and reporting is facilitated through a series of automated tools maintained on a corporate-wide common reporting platform.

Lines of business and shared services departments identify risk to key processes by completing a risk self-assessment. The assessment requires the identification of inherent risks and the adequacy of the mitigation or control environment.
All control gaps require an action plan and timetable for resolution. The assessments are performed on an annual basis or in connection with significant changes in the profile of the business. All associated self-assessments (risks, controls, action
plans) are maintained on a common reporting platform, enabling cross organizational comparisons and facilitating implementation of best practices.

In
addition, embedded risk managers provide a monthly update to management of their emerging risks and compliance issues, the status of risk management initiatives, an assessment of transaction risk and key risk indicator trends and commentary. The
information is reviewed by corporate risk managers to identify potential cross organizational risks and additional required mitigants.

Key risk
indicators

Key risk indicators are metrics jointly developed by risk officers and business line managers and are monitored through a common reporting
platform. Performance thresholds are established with automated email notification of any result which exceeds the desired threshold causing a red condition. Management responds to red conditions with action plans and timetables, which
are monitored to ensure conditions return to an acceptable level.

Operational risk events

Operational risk events are analyzed by area, and detailed root cause analyses are required to mitigate the current risk event and its potential for reoccurrence.
Detailed loss data are stored on a common reporting platform and are input into the operational risk capital modeling process to allocate capital to the business lines. The following table shows the operating losses for each of our business sectors.

Operational losses in 2006, 2005 and 2004 as a percent of corporate revenue were less than the Board-approved tolerance. Our business sectors have policies and controls to mitigate this risk exposure and continuously improve their controls
as the business environment changes.

Market and liquidity risk

The Market Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of market risk, which includes interest rate and currency risk for both asset/liability management and trading activities,



Mellon Financial Corporation    43

and liquidity risk pursuant to policies and limits which are established by the Market Risk Committee and reviewed annually with
a committee of our Board of Directors. Our Market Risk Committee is comprised of senior officers from the following areas:



| |  |  | Operating Committee
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | Finance, including Corporate Treasury
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | Foreign Exchange
| | - |  | ----------------

| |  |  | Securities Lending
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | Corporate Strategy
| | - |  | ------------------

Market and liquidity risk
includes a consideration of both on-balance-sheet and off-balance sheet activities, including the use of derivatives. The use of derivatives for asset/liability management purposes is discussed under Interest rate sensitivity analysis on
pages 46 through 48. The use of derivatives for trading purposes is discussed under Trading Activities on page 49. Off-balance sheet arrangements which may involve credit, market, liquidity or operational risk are discussed
under Off-balance sheet arrangements on pages 49 through 51.

Liquidity and dividends

We use several key primary and secondary measures to assess the adequacy of our liquidity position. Our balance sheet is managed to ensure that these measures are
maintained within approved limits. Each of these measures is monitored on a periodic basis, giving consideration to our expected requirements for funds and anticipated market conditions. Quarterly, the Market Risk Committee reviews a liquidity
stress simulation that evaluates how the liquidity position at that time might be impacted under adverse funding conditions. The stress simulation is prepared under a gradual erosion scenario and under a crisis scenario. All deposits and borrowed
funds are categorized by their sensitivity to potential credit concerns. In addition, the effect of other factors are considered including: prevailing credit market conditions; current debt ratings and the ratings outlook; and commitments to extend
credit. The simulation analysis has shown adequate liquidity under both scenarios. The stress simulation is reviewed and updated to ensure current applicability with changes in our balance sheet and changes in the marketplace and is reviewed by the
Board of Directors as part of its annual review of our liquidity policy.

We manage our liquidity position with the objective of maintaining the ability to
fund commitments and to repay liabilities in accordance with their terms, even during periods of market or financial stress. Through active liquidity management, we seek to ensure that changes in funding requirements can be accommodated without
materially impacting net income. Core demand and time deposits, obtained from our Private Wealth Management, Asset Servicing and PS&IS businesses, are used in conjunction with long-term debt to provide stable sources of funding. Purchased funds,
acquired from a variety of sources and customers in worldwide financial markets, are used to supplement the core sources of funding. Liquid assets, in the form of money market investments and portfolio securities held available for sale, may also be
utilized to meet short-term requirements for cash. Liquidity is managed on both a consolidated basis and at the Mellon Financial Corporation (Parent Corporation) level.

The Parent Corporation has access to the following principal sources of liquidity: dividend and interest payments from its subsidiaries, the commercial paper market, a revolving credit agreement with Mellon Bank, and
access to the capital markets. The ability of national bank subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Parent Corporation is subject to certain regulatory limitations, as discussed in Note 24 of Notes to Financial Statements. Under the more
restrictive limitation, Mellons national bank subsidiaries can, without prior regulatory approval, declare dividends subsequent to Dec. 31, 2006, of up to approximately $85 million, less any dividends declared and plus or minus net
profits or losses, as defined, earned between Jan. 1, 2007 and the date of any such dividend declaration. To comply with regulatory guidelines, the Parent Corporation and its subsidiary banks continually evaluate the level of cash dividends in
relation to their respective operating income, capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. See Note 31 of Notes to Financial Statements for the Parent Corporations condensed financial statements.

At Dec. 31, 2006, the Parent Corporation held $791 million of cash. It also has a $200 million revolving credit
agreement with Mellon Bank, Mellons primary bank subsidiary, with a June 2007 expiration date. The credit agreement was executed at market terms. Under this agreement, any borrowings are to be collateralized with eligible assets of our
non-bank subsidiaries. There were no borrowings under this facility at Dec. 31, 2006. The revolving credit facility contains Tier I ratio and double leverage ratio covenants, as discussed in Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements.
At Dec. 31, 2006, the Parent Corporation also had the ability to issue an indeterminate amount of debt, equity and junior subordinated debentures under a shelf registration statement filed on July 21, 2006 subject to maintaining
eligibility to use the registration statement. In March 2006, Mellon Bank issued $250 million of 5.45% subordinated notes maturing in April 2016. In September 2006, Mellon issued junior subordinated debentures associated with
£200 million ($372 million, net of issuance costs) sterling denominated Tier I qualifying trust-preferred securities, the proceeds of which were used in part for the funding of the fourth quarter 2006 acquisition of Walter
Scott & Partners. These Tier I qualifying capital securities were issued at a rate of 6.369% with a scheduled maturity of September 2036. Access to the capital markets is partially dependent on Mellons and Mellon Banks,
credit ratings, some of which are shown in the following table. These credit ratings are unchanged from Dec. 31, 2005.

|Subordinated debt             |  | A+              |  | A1      |  | A+   

Contractual maturities of Mellons long-term debt totaled approximately $300 million in 2006.
Contractual maturities will total approximately $840 million in 2007, $430 million of which is for obligations of Mellon Bank. For additional information on our notes and debentures, including maturity dates, see Note 14 of Notes to
Financial Statements.

In the second quarter of 2006, we increased our annual common stock dividend to $.88 per common share, an increase of 10% from the
previous annual rate. We paid $355 million of common stock dividends in 2006, compared with $327 million in 2005. The common dividend payout ratio, on a net income basis, was 40% in 2006 on a dividend of $.86 per share compared with 42% in
2005 on a dividend of $.78 per share. Based upon shares outstanding at Dec. 31, 2006, and the current quarterly common stock dividend rate of $.22 per share (which is the maximum amount of the quarterly dividend permitted under the merger
agreement with The Bank of New York), the annual dividend requirement in 2007 is expected to be approximately $365 million.

As shown in the
consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and due from banks increased by $481 million during 2006 to $2.854 billion at Dec. 31, 2006. The increase resulted from $1.399 billion of net cash provided by financing activities and
$781 million of net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $1.719 billion of net cash used in investing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from higher levels of deposits, and
federal funds purchased and proceeds from the issuance of trust-preferred securities, partially offset by the repurchase of shares of our common stock and dividends paid on our common stock. Net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted
from net purchases of securities available for sale, and an increase in short-term investments, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of large corporate real estate loans.

Junior subordinated debentures

Based on current interest rate expectations and subject to our ability to issue
replacement securities prior to the proposed merger with The Bank of New York described in Note 30 of Notes to Financial Statements, we intend to redeem our Series A and Series B junior subordinated debentures, each issued for a face value of
$515 million, in the second quarter of 2007. The securities are redeemable at 103.86% and 103.9975% of the liquidation amounts during the 12-month periods beginning on Dec. 1, 2006 and Jan. 15, 2007, respectively. We expect to replace
these securities with a combination of Tier I

qualifying capital securities and senior debt securities that would reduce our future funding costs. Redemption of both
securities would result in a total pre-tax charge to income of $46 million for the redemption premiums and write-off of unamortized issuance costs.

Asset/liability management

Asset/liability management activities address management of assets and liabilities from an interest rate risk,
currency risk and liquidity management perspective, including the use of derivatives.

Average interest-earning assets increased $2.646 billion in 2006 compared with 2005 primarily resulting from a higher level of securities and money market
investments, partially offset by a lower level of loans. The increase in average securities was due to purchases of high quality floating rate and other short duration mortgage-backed securities. The lower loan level reflects the first quarter 2006
sale of our large corporate real estate loan portfolio.

Core funds, considered to be the most stable sources of funding,
are defined principally as:



| |  |  | institutional money market deposits and other deposit sweeps;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | individual money market and other savings deposits;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | savings certificates;

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | junior subordinated debentures; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | other liabilities.
| | - |  | ------------------

Core funds primarily support
core assets, consisting of loans, net of the reserve, and noninterest-earning assets. Average core assets decreased $510 million in 2006 from the prior year, reflecting the lower level of loans. The proportion of average core funds to average
total assets in 2006 was 92% compared with 93% in 2005.

Purchased funds are defined as:



| |  |  | funds acquired in the wholesale money markets including deposits in foreign offices (excluding working capital solutions and sub-custodial sweep deposits);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal funds purchased and securities under repurchase agreements;

increased $365 million in 2006 from 2005 primarily due to an increase in other time deposits. The proportion of average purchased funds to average total assets was 8% in 2006 compared with 7% in 2005.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The objective of interest rate risk
management is to manage the effect of interest rate fluctuations on net interest revenue and the net present value of our assets, liabilities and derivative instruments. We use simulation models as the primary means to estimate the impact of these
changes. Interest rate risk is measured using the following simulation models:

| |  |  | portfolio equity simulation.

Our simulation models use our consolidated balance sheet and derivative positions as of year-end adjusted for committed positions
not settled as of that date. The models also incorporate assumptions about the volumes and characteristics of new assets and liabilities and the behavior of existing assets and liabilities. These assumptions include but are not limited to: the
composition of the balance sheet, prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities, repricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and capital and other financing plans.

We have established, with the concurrence of our Board of Directors, the following guidelines for assuming interest rate risk:



| |  |  | Net interest margin simulationGiven a +/- 200 basis point change in short term interest rates and a +/- 165 basis point change in long-term rates
over a six month period, the estimated one year total net interest revenue may not change by more than 10% from the rates unchanged results.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Portfolio equity simulationPortfolio equity is the net present value of our existing assets, liabilities and derivative instruments. Given an instantaneous
+/- 200 basis point change in interest rates, portfolio equity may not change by more than 12% from total shareholders equity plus junior subordinated debentures.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following table illustrates the simulation analysis of the impact of a 50, 100 and 200 basis point shift upward or a 50, 100 and 200 basis point shift
downward in short-term interest rates on net interest revenue and earnings per share. Principal cash flows anticipated over the next twelve months from discretionary investments and loans in business exits (discussed on page 31) are assumed to
be reinvested in floating rate assets, while term debt maturing within the next twelve months is replaced with variable rate funding.

This analysis was
prepared using the levels of all interest-earning assets, supporting funds and derivative instruments used for interest rate risk management at Dec. 31, 2006. The impact of the rate movements was developed by simulating the effect of rates
changing in a gradual fashion over a six-month period from the Dec. 31, 2006 levels and remaining at those levels thereafter. Financial market conditions and managements response to events may cause actual results to differ from simulated
results.

The anticipated impact on net interest revenue under the various scenarios did not exceed our guidelines for assuming interest rate risk at Dec. 31, 2006, nor did it exceed our guidelines at Dec. 31, 2005.

Managing interest rate risk with derivative instruments

We maintain
an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments. These instruments minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. Our goal is to manage interest rate
sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities so that net interest revenue is not significantly affected by movements in interest rates.

Derivatives are used as part of our overall asset/liability management process to augment the management of interest rate exposure. Interest rate swapsincluding
callable and basis swapsinterest rate caps and floors, financial futures, forwards and financial options have been approved by our Board of Directors for this purpose. By policy, we will not enter into any new derivative contracts that would

cause Mellon to exceed its established interest rate risk limits. For a discussion of these instruments, see Note 27 of
Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair value hedges

Mellon enters into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, to convert portions of its fixed rate long-term debt to floating rate debt and, to a small degree, certain fixed rate certificates of deposit to variable rate
certificates of deposit. The fixed rate liability instruments are changed to variable rate instruments by entering into receive fixed/pay variable swaps. Changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in the income statement.
Correspondingly, the carrying values of the respective hedged items are also adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

The
following table presents the gross notional amounts and weighted-average maturities of derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk, identified by the underlying interest rate- sensitive instruments. The gross notional amount of interest
rate swaps used to manage interest rate risk decreased by $1.475 billion at Dec. 31, 2006 compared with Dec. 31, 2005. The decrease primarily resulted from the termination of $1.2 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps
that hedged long-term debt. The notional value at Dec. 31, 2006 was primarily comprised of receive fixed instruments associated with long-term debt.

Mellon applied the shortcut accounting method available under SFAS 133 to substantially all of its swaps through Sept. 30, 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Mellon re-designated its fair value hedges of fixed rate
long-term debt and fixed rate certificates of deposit in order to utilize the long-haul accounting method under SFAS 133. The application of the long-haul method resulted in ineffectiveness of $2 million of income in 2006. As a
result of using the shortcut method, no ineffectiveness was recorded in 2005 and 2004.

The notional amounts should be viewed in the context of our overall
interest rate risk management activities to assess the impact on net interest revenue. The interest received and interest paid are recorded on an accrual basis in the interest revenue and interest expense accounts associated with the underlying
liabilities and assets. The net interest differential between interest revenue and interest expense resulted in interest revenue of $3 million in 2006, compared with $78 million in 2005 and $139 million in 2004.

Cash flow hedges

At Dec. 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, there were no outstanding cash flow hedges.

Trading activities

Mellon has
established trading limits and related monitoring procedures to control trading risk. These limits are approved by the Market Risk Committee and reviewed by the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. All limits are monitored for adherence to
these limits by the Risk Management & Compliance Department. Exceptions to limits are reported regularly to the Market Risk Committee.

The
financial risk associated with trading positions is managed by assigning position limits and stop-loss guidance amounts to individual activities. We use a value-at-risk methodology to estimate the potential gain or loss in a portfolio of trading
positions that is associated with a price movement of given probability over a specified time frame. Position limits are assigned to each family of financial instruments eligible for trading, such that the aggregate value-at-risk in these activities
at any point in time will not exceed a specified limit given a significant market movement. The extent of market movement deemed to be significant is based upon an analysis of the historical volatility of individual instruments that would cover 95%
of likely daily market movements. The loss analysis includes the derivative instruments used for trading activities as well as the financial assets and liabilities that are classified as trading positions on our balance sheet. Using our methodology,
which considers such factors as changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, spreads and related volatility, the aggregate average value-at-risk for trading activities and credit default swaps was approximately $5 million for the
60 business-day periods ended Dec. 31, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005. The average daily value-at-risk for trading activities in 2006 was approximately $6 million.

Trading activities are generally limited to products and markets in which liquidity is sufficient to allow positions to be closed quickly and without adversely affecting market prices, which limits loss potential
below that assumed for a full-day adverse movement. Loss potential is further constrained in that it is highly unusual for all trading areas to be exposed to maximum limits at the same time and extremely rare for significant adverse market movements
to occur in all markets simultaneously. Stop-loss guidance is used when a certain threshold of loss is sustained. If stop-loss guidance amounts are approached, open positions may be liquidated to avoid further risk to earnings. The use of stop-loss
guidance in tandem with position limits reduces the likelihood that potential trading losses would reach imprudent levels in relation to earnings.

Derivative instruments used for trading purposes

Mellon enters into various foreign exchange and interest rate contracts, and, to a lesser
extent, equity derivative contracts for trading purposes. Trading activities primarily involve providing various derivative products to customers to assist them in managing foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk and
for managing our risks in certain trading portfolios and as part of our proprietary trading activities. All of these instruments are carried at market value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in foreign exchange trading revenue
and other revenue. For a description and table of derivative instruments used for trading activities, see Note 27 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Credit risk

Mellons hedging and trading derivative products are subject to credit risk. We enter into netting agreements to reduce
credit risk. Netting agreements generally permit us to net gains and losses on derivative contracts with the same counterparty. For a discussion of gross credit risk and the corresponding netting impact of derivative instruments, see Note 27 of
Notes to Financial Statements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Guarantees and indemnities

In the normal course of business, Mellon offers standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees to
customers as well as other guarantees in support of certain joint ventures and subsidiaries.

Standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees
totaled $1.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2006, an increase of $55 million compared with Dec. 31, 2005. Standby letters of credit and foreign and



Mellon Financial Corporation    49

---

other guarantees are used by the customer as a credit enhancement and typically expire without being drawn upon. We generated
$7 million of fee revenue in 2006 and 2005 related to the letters of credit and foreign guarantees. Cash is disbursed only when standby letters of credit are drawn upon. We believe the market risk associated with these instruments is minimal.

A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security through an agent
(Mellon) to a borrower, usually a broker/dealer or bank, on an open, overnight or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract, which generally matures in less than 90 days. We recorded $120 million of fee revenue from securities
lending transactions in 2006 compared with $108 million in 2005. Securities are lent with and without indemnification against broker default. Custodian securities lent with indemnification against broker default of return of securities totaled
$123 billion at Dec. 31, 2006, a $17 billion increase compared with Dec. 31, 2005, reflecting growth in this line of business. These transactions were primarily collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. Market risk
can also arise in securities lending transactions. These risks are controlled through policies, approved by our Board of Directors, limiting the level of risk that can be undertaken.

Mellons primary banking subsidiary, Mellon Bank, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (ABN AMRO) entered into a joint venture to provide global securities services, with operations commencing in January 2003. Each of the
two partners signed a statutory declaration under Dutch law to be jointly and severally liable with the joint venture to parties that have a provable contractual debt or damage claim. The benefit of this declaration is potentially available to all
creditors and customers of the joint venture with valid legal claims if the joint venture defaults. The guarantee totaled $78 billion at Dec. 31, 2006 compared with $43 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. Agency securities lending
represented $72 billion of this guarantee at Dec. 31, 2006, primarily related to the indemnification of the owner of the securities against broker default. These securities lending transactions were collateralized primarily with cash and
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) government securities totaling $70 billion. The joint venture also indemnifies $483 million of cash collateral reinvested in repurchase agreements for risk of market or credit
loss. The potential exposure of this guarantee assumes that there is no capital or assets of the joint venture to satisfy such claims, and that there is no level of contribution by ABN AMRO, which has an S&P long-term credit rating of AA-
and a Moodys senior debt rating of Aa3.

For additional information on standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees, and custodian
securities lent with indemnification against broker default of return of securities see Note 26 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Mellon Bank has a
referral relationship with, and provides administrative services to, Three Rivers Funding Corp. (TRFC), a special purpose entity that issues commercial paper. TRFC is owned by an independent third party and is not a subsidiary of either Mellon Bank
or Mellon. Its financial results are not included in the financial statements of Mellon Bank or Mellon. Fee revenue of $3 million was received from this entity in 2006 and $2 million in 2005. At Dec. 31, 2006, TRFCs receivables
totaled $3.200 billion and commercial paper outstanding totaled $3.213 billion, compared with receivables and commercial paper outstanding each totaling $1.550 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. A letter of credit provided by Mellon Bank
in support of TRFCs commercial paper totaled $149 million at Dec. 31, 2006, compared with $191 million at Dec. 31, 2005. Mellons maximum loss exposure related to TRFC is the full amount of the liquidity facility
provided to TRFC, or $3.213 billion, at Dec. 31, 2006. However, the probability of this loss scenario is remote as it would mean that all of TRFCs receivables were wholly uncollectible. For additional information about TRFC, see the
TRFC discussion in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Retained interests

From time to time, Mellon has securitized certain loans. We retain servicing responsibilities as well as subordinated interests in loan securitizations, specifically home equity lines of credit loans



50    Mellon Financial Corporation

CORPORATE RISK MANAGEMENT



---

(HELOC). All securitized loans are removed from our balance sheet upon securitization. The investors and the securitization
trusts have no recourse to Mellon for failure of debtors to pay when due. Our retained interests, which totaled $2 million at Dec. 31, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, are subordinate to investors interests. Their value is subject to
credit, prepayment and interest rate risks on the transferred assets.

Contractual obligations

Mellon is contractually obligated to make future payments according to various contracts. The following table presents the expected future payments of our significant contractual obligations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

SFAS No. 155 - Hybrid Instruments

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 allows an entity to remeasure at fair value a hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation from the host, if the holder irrevocably elects to
account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the instrument would be recognized in earnings. This statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the
requirements of SFAS No. 133 and clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 is effective for financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement
event after Dec. 31, 2006. We currently anticipate that SFAS No. 155 will not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

SFAS No. 157 - Fair Value Measurement

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies when other accounting pronouncements require or permit
fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued after Jan. 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our results of operations
and financial position, and do not expect it to be material.

FIN No. 48 - Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as more-likely-than-not to be sustained by a taxing authority. The term
more-likely-than-not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. FIN 48 is effective as of Jan. 1, 2007, with early application permitted. Any impact from the adoption of FIN 48 will be recorded directly to the
beginning balance of retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Interpretation, but do not expect the impact to be material.

FSP 13-2 - Taxes

In conjunction with the issuance of FIN 48,
discussed above, the FASB issued a Staff Position (FSP) 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction. FSP 13-2 amends SFAS
No. 13, Accounting for Leases, by requiring lessors to recalculate the rate of return and periodic income allocation for leveraged lease transactions when there is a change or projected change in the timing of income tax cash flows
related to leases. The Staff Position, which is effective Jan. 1, 2007, requires lessors to reassess projected income tax cash flows using a FIN 48 model for recognition and measurement. Any revisions to the net investment in leveraged
leases will be recorded as a direct adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle. The impact of this Staff Position is expected to result in a reduction in our retained earnings of
approximately $20 million.

EITF 06-4 - Split-Dollar Life Insurance

In September 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 06-4, Postretirement Benefits Associated with Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This EITF addresses only endorsement
split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. In an endorsement split-dollar arrangement, the employer owns and controls the policy, and the employer and an employee split the
insurance policys cash surrender value and/or death benefits.

The EITF requires that the deferred-compensation or postretirement benefit aspects of
an endorsement-type split-dollar life insurance arrangement be recognized as a liability by the employer because the obligation is not effectively settled by the purchase of a life insurance policy. The liability for future

---

benefits will be recognized based on the
substantive agreement with the employee, which may be either to provide a future death benefit or to pay for the future cost of the life insurance. At adoption, any liability recognized will be recorded as a direct adjustment to the beginning
balance of retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle.

The EITF is effective Jan. 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the
impact of this EITF, but do not expect it to be material.

EITF 06-5 - Purchases of Life Insurance

In September 2006, the FASB ratified EITF 06-5, Purchases of Life Insurance. This EITF explains how to determine the amount that could be
realized from a life insurance contract, for purposes of recording the cash surrender value on the balance sheet. It requires policyholders to determine the amount that could be realized under a life insurance contract assuming individual
policies are surrendered instead of surrendering all policies as a group. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of cash surrender value will be recorded as a direct adjustment to retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle.

The EITF is effective Jan. 1, 2007 and will have no impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

EITF 03-6-a - Participating Securities

In October 2006, the FASB
issued EITF 03-6-a, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This EITF addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions may be participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing basic earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Mellon currently
anticipates that this EITF as currently written could reduce basic earnings per share by approximately $.01 annually. The effective date of this EITF is not currently available.

Adoption of new accounting standards

For a discussion of the adoption of new accounting standards, see Note 2
of Notes to Financial Statements.

FOURTH QUARTER 2006 REVIEW



---

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $237 million, or $.57 per share, compared with $208 million, or $.50 per
share, in the fourth quarter of 2005. Net income from continuing operations totaled $298 million, or $.72 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with $201 million, or $.48 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2005. Continuing
operations returned 25.3% on equity in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with 19.4% in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Income from continuing operations for
the fourth quarter of 2006 included $26 million in severance, $16 million associated with impairment charges, $11 million in merger-related expenses and $6 million in occupancy reserves. These amounts totaled $41 million
after-tax, or approximately $.10 per share. In addition, the income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a one-time tax benefit of $74 million, or approximately $.18 per share.

During the quarter, we signed an agreement to sell our direct and indirect venture capital portfolios, held by Mellon Ventures, and applied discontinued operations
accounting to this business.

Fee and other revenue totaled 93% of total revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, in the fourth quarter of 2006,
compared with 90% in the fourth quarter of 2005. Fee and other revenue increased to $1.412 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 30% from $1.087 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005, primarily due to increases in
investment management fees and institutional trust and custody fees. Investment management fee revenue was $797 million and increased $273 million, or 52%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2005 primarily due to higher performance fees,
strong net asset flows, improved equity markets and the acquisition of Walter Scott & Partners, as well as a higher yield on average assets under management. The $30 million, or 14%, increase in institutional trust and custody fee
revenue resulted from net new business conversions, as well as higher earnings from the ABN AMRO Mellon and CIBC Mellon joint ventures. Assets under management increased 8% (unannualized) in the quarter to $995 billion at Dec. 31,
2006, primarily due to market appreciation of $36 billion, $27 billion from acquisitions, primarily Walter Scott & Partners, and net inflows of $14 billion. Assets under custody or administration increased 3% (unannualized)
in the quarter to $4.491 trillion at Dec. 31, 2006, primarily reflecting net new business conversions and market appreciation.

Net interest
revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $114 million decreased $7 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2005. This decrease principally reflects the impact of financing costs associated with the Walter Scott &
Partners acquisition.

Operating expense was $1.192 billion, an increase of $289 million, or 32%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2005. The
higher level of operating expense compared with the fourth quarter of 2005 was due principally to: higher staff expense of $177 million, which included a $115 million increase in incentives associated primarily with growth in our asset
management and asset servicing businesses and a $24 million increase in severance expense. Non-staff expense increased $112 million principally reflecting a $34 million increase in distribution and servicing expenses; impairment
charges of $11 million at DPM Mellon and $5 million at HBV Alternative Investment Strategies; merger-related expenses of $11 million; occupancy reserves of $6 million; and the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition. The
remaining increase was principally in support of new business. Severance, impairment charges, merger-related expenses and the occupancy reserves increased expenses by 6%.

The tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 8.2%. The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2006 includes a tax benefit of $74 million primarily related to a reversal of deferred tax liabilities
due to managements decision to indefinitely reinvest earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 23. Excluding the tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006, the tax
rate would have been 30.9%. It is currently anticipated that the tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 will be approximately 32.5%.

SELECTED QUARTERLY DATA (unaudited)



---

Fourth quarter 2006 compared with the fourth quarter of 2005

See discussion on page 54 of this report.

Third quarter of 2006
compared with the third quarter of 2005

Consolidated net income totaled $222 million, or $.54 per share, in the third quarter of 2006, compared
with $194 million, or $.47 per share, in the third quarter of 2005. Third quarter 2006 income from continuing operations totaled $218 million, or $.52 per share. This compares with $186 million, or $.45 per share, in the third quarter
of 2005. Fee and other revenue increased $145 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared with the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to increases in investment management fee revenue, institutional trust and custody revenue and
distribution and service revenue. Return on equity on a continuing operations basis was 20.0% in the third quarter of 2006, compared with 17.9% in the third quarter of 2005.

Second quarter of 2006 compared with the second quarter of 2005

Consolidated net income totaled $232 million,
or $.56 per share, in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $125 million, or $.30 per share, in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter of 2005 included a loss from discontinued operations of $72 million, or $.17 per share.
Second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations totaled $223 million, or $.54 per share, compared with $197 million, or $.47 per share, in the second quarter of 2005. Fee and other revenue increased $176 million compared with
the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to increases in investment management fee revenue, institutional trust and custody revenue and distribution and service revenue, partially offset by lower payment solutions & investor services fee
revenue. Return on equity on a continuing operations basis was 21.4% in the second quarter of 2006, compared with 19.4% in the second quarter of 2005.

First quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005

Consolidated net income totaled $207 million, or $.50 per share, in the
first quarter of 2006, compared with net income of $255 million, or $.60 per share, in the first quarter of 2005. First quarter 2006 income from continuing operations totaled $193 million, or $.47 per share. This compared with income from
continuing operations of $300 million, or $.71 per share in the first quarter of 2005. Results in the first quarter of 2006 included a pre-tax charge of $19 million in connection with payments, awards and benefits for Mellons former
chairman and chief executive officer, pursuant to his employment agreement. Included in our results in the first quarter of 2005 are $197 million from the sale of our investment in Tokyo-based Shinsei Bank; $10 million in expenses
associated with the early extinguishment of debt and $5 million of expenses related to the writedown of a business identified as held for sale and for the move to Mellon Financial Centre in London. Excluding the Shinsei gain, fee revenue
increased $186 million, compared with the first quarter of 2005 primarily resulting from higher investment management fee revenue, institutional trust and custody revenue and distribution and service revenue, partially offset by lower payment
solutions & investor services fee revenue. Return on equity on a continuing operations basis was 18.8% in the first quarter of 2006, compared with 29.1% in the first quarter of 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



---

Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements includes Mellons significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies
are considered to be critical to the presentation of Mellons financial statements, since they require us to make numerous complex and subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are inherently uncertain. These policies,
which were reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, include accounting policies related to establishing the reserve for credit exposure, accounting for pensions, and accounting for identified intangible assets and goodwill. In
addition to the discussions in Note 1, the accounting policies for identified intangible assets and goodwill and the reserve for credit exposure are discussed further below. Also discussed below is the expected net periodic pension expense for
2007 and its sensitivity to changes in assumptions. For a discussion of our accounting policies relating to pensions, see pages 95, 96 and 97 of this report. Due to the sale of the direct and indirect portfolios of Mellon Ventures in the fourth
quarter of 2006 and the application of discontinued operations accounting to the business, we no longer consider the policies relating to valuing venture capital investments to be critical accounting policies.

Provision and reserve for credit exposure

Mellons banking
subsidiaries maintain a reserve for loan losses that is intended to adjust the value of their loans for inherent credit losses. Our bank subsidiaries also maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments, namely loan commitments, letters of credit and
bankers acceptances, that is reported as a liability on Mellons consolidated balance sheet. Provision to expense is recorded for both the loan loss reserve and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Transfers between the reserves can occur
in conjunction with funding a loan and thereby decreasing unfunded commitments or conversely repaying a loan and thereby increasing unfunded commitments. The level of the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined following a methodology that
parallels that used for the reserve for loan losses. We refer to the combined balance of the reserve for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments as the reserve for credit exposure.

The reserve for credit exposure is maintained at a level that, in managements judgment, is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in both the loan portfolio and in
unfunded commitments as of the balance sheet date. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has reviewed and concurred with this judgment. The reserve is not specifically associated with individual loans or portfolio segments and is therefore
available to absorb credit losses arising from any portfolio segment. We review the appropriateness of each reserve at least quarterly and have developed a methodology designed to provide a procedural discipline in assessing the appropriateness of
the reserves. Our estimate of each reserve component is based on certain observable data that we believe are the most reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated.

A key element of the methodology for determining the level of the reserve for credit exposure is Mellons credit risk evaluation process, which assigns a numerical risk rating to substantially all extensions of
credit in our commercial, real estate, and international portfolios. We use a Customer Risk Rating which evaluates a borrowers expected ability to meet its obligations, through analysis of its financial statements and projections, cash flow,
management and other customer risk factors. We also use a Facility Risk Rating which defines the risk of a specific credit facility by overlaying the Customer Risk Rating with an analysis of factors such as loan structure and collateral.

In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we provide a base reserve for commercial facilities that are not impaired. We have
analyzed historical portfolio data on our primary credit exposure portfolios as well as various benchmarks to compute the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default. Based on the risk rating, maturity, exposure
size and industry of our current portfolio and the above calculated parameters, base rates are determined and applied to all non-impaired commercial loan balances. On at least an annual basis, all credit parameters are validated and updated.

In accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, any required



Mellon Financial Corporation    57



---

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



---

impairment reserves are included in the reserve for loan losses. Using Mellons credit risk classification criteria, loan
impairment on specific loans, for which principal and interest is not expected to be collected when contractually due, is measured based on observable market prices, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent with consideration being given to Mellons collection strategy. There are no base reserves carried on loans classified as impaired. Leasing
credits, which are not subject to the SFAS No. 114, follow the same criteria as impaired loans but the reserves are classified as judgmental.

The
methodology for determining the reserve for unfunded commitments parallels the reserve for loan losses. We incorporate an estimate of probability of drawdown, which is applied to the commitment amount and then the base rates used for outstanding
loans of the same credit risk rating are applied.

In addition to the components identified, management judgment can be applied to the reserve calculation,
which is based upon a quarterly assessment conducted to identify the current stage of the business cycle. As such, Mellons reserve for credit exposure is solely an estimate based on our judgment. Due to the significance of our judgment used to
calculate Mellons reserves, actual losses incurred could be higher or lower than the estimated reserves. When losses on specific loans or commitments are identified, we charge off the portion deemed uncollectible.

Net periodic pension cost and its sensitivities to changes in assumptions

Mellon follows SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, to calculate and record our net periodic benefit cost (credit) for pensions. The net periodic benefit cost (credit) is based primarily on three
assumptions:



| |  |  | discount rate for plan liabilities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | expected return on plan assets; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | rate of compensation increase.
| | - |  | ------------------------------

Net pension expense,
on a continuing operations basis, of $34 million was recorded in 2006, compared with net pension expense of $19 million in 2005 and a net pension credit of $2 million in 2004. Net periodic pension expense of approximately
$20 million is expected to be recorded for the year 2007, assuming current currency exchange rates and without taking into consideration our proposed merger with The Bank of New York. This is based on an assumed discount rate of 6.00%, expected
return on plan assets of 8.25% and a rate of compensation increase of 3.25%. The estimated sensitivities to a 50 basis point change in assumptions on the estimated net periodic benefit cost for 2007 are as follows:



|                                             |  |               |     |   |               |   |    |

|Discount rate change                         |  | $             | (18 | ) |               | $ | 19 |  
|Expected return on assets change             |  | $             | (11 | ) |               | $ | 11 |  
|Change in rate of compensation increase      |  | $             | 6   |   |               | $ | (5 | )

Note: See Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements for a further discussion on the assumptions utilized.

Identified intangible assets and goodwill

Mellon
records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The initial recording
of goodwill and other intangibles requires subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. Goodwill ($2.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2006) and indefinite-lived intangible assets
($43 million at Dec. 31, 2006) are not amortized but are subject to annual tests for impairment or more often if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired. Other identified intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
useful lives and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount.

The on-going value of
goodwill is ultimately supported by revenue from our business sectors and our ability to deliver cost-effective services over future periods. Any decline in revenue resulting from a lack of growth or the inability to effectively provide services
could potentially create an impairment of goodwill.

Annual, or more frequently if events or circumstances dictate, impairment tests are performed at the reporting unit level. Each
reporting unit is either an operating segment, as defined in SFAS No. 131, or one step below, as prescribed in SFAS No. 142. Each reporting unit constitutes a business for which: (a) discrete financial information is available and
(b) executive and sector management regularly review the reporting units operating results. Within each operating segment, the identification of reporting units considers the similarity of either product offerings or customers served.
However, two or more components of an operating segment are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics, such as similar products and services, production processes, classes of customers,
similar or common distribution methods or regulatory environment. We determined that in most instances our reporting segments represent a reporting unit for goodwill testing purposes.

The goodwill impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its
carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill must then be compared with the
carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment at least annually by comparing their
fair value to their carrying value.

Generally, discounted cash flow analyses are used to determine a reporting units fair value. Other data,
including comparable sale transactions or market data, is also used to determine a reporting units fair value. The methodology used in estimating discounted cash flows is inherently complex and involves significant management assumptions to
determine an appropriate discount rate and cash flows. Using discount rates for each reporting unit that were determined based on available market data and estimating cash flows for each reporting unit, none of our goodwill was impaired during 2006
or at Dec. 31, 2006. Furthermore, a 1% increase in the discount rates used to determine fair value would not result in impairment.

Other identifiable
intangible assets ($340 million at Dec. 31, 2006) are evaluated for impairment in two phases if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The first phase for such an evaluation of other intangible assets is generally based
on undiscounted cash flow projections. If undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the intangible assets carrying value, the intangible must be fair valued to measure the impairment, if any. Fair value may be determined using: market prices,
comparison to similar assets, market multiples, discounted cash flow analysis and other determinants. Estimated cash flows may extend far into the future and, by their nature, are difficult to determine over an extended timeframe. Factors that may
significantly affect the estimates include, among others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, cost structures and technology, and changes in discount rates and specific industry or market sector
conditions. Other key judgments in accounting for intangibles include useful life and classification between goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles or other intangibles which require amortization.

These forward-looking statements, and other forward-looking statements contained in other public disclosures of the Corporation which make reference to the cautionary factors contained in this Report, are based on
assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties and that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Corporations control). Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a
result of these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

The proposed merger of the Corporation and The Bank of New York

Governmental or shareholder approvals of the transaction may not be obtained on the proposed terms or expected timeframe or at all; the businesses
of the Corporation and The Bank of New York may not be integrated successfully or the integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the combined company may not realize, to the extent or at the time we expect, revenue
synergies and cost savings from the transaction; revenues following the transaction may be lower than expected as a result of losses of customers or

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT



---

other reasons; deposit attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the transaction, including, without
limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, may be greater than expected.

Changes in political and economic
conditions. Changes in political and economic conditions can affect the Corporations opportunities to sell its products and services. If conditions cause customers to become more cautious, the Corporations revenues could be
adversely affected. Conversely, the Corporation will likely have greater opportunities during periods of economic growth and political optimism.

Relevant benchmarks to estimate future changes in investment management fees. This report presents estimates as to the effect sustained changes in the S&P 500 Index, and an equivalent movement in the FTSE, would have
on the Corporations investment management fees, excluding performance fees. The S&P 500 Index and the FTSE were chosen for purposes of such estimates because they are widely recognized measures and the Corporation has been able to
establish a degree of correlation between the indices and the Corporations investment management fees over prior periods. While the Corporation believes these indices are the best industry benchmarks for purposes of these estimates, the
diversity of the Corporations equity assets under management is such that the Corporations current and future equity asset mix will not be fully reflected in these or any other similar industry measures. Accordingly, the actual impact on
investment management fees from a change in the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE may vary from the Corporations estimates.

Equity,
fixed-income and foreign exchange market fluctuations. As price levels in the equity and fixed-income markets increase or decrease, the Corporations opportunities to sell its products and services, to invest and to manage financial
assets may change. Because certain of the Corporations fee revenue is based on the value of assets under management or custody, fluctuations in market valuations will affect revenue.

Changes in the mix of assets under management. Because management fees can vary by asset class, revenues can be affected by the types of assets that at a
given time are most attractive to customers.

The effects of the adoption of new accounting standards. The adoption of new accounting
standards could affect the Corporations income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows or statement of changes in shareholders equity. New standards could cause reported amounts to increase or decrease or impact the
comparability of current and prior period results.

Customers sensitivity to increases in oil prices and decreasing travel. Higher oil
prices and decreasing travel could impact the ability of borrowers whose businesses are sensitive to these factors to repay extensions of credit.

Corporate and personal customers bankruptcies. An increase in corporate and personal customers bankruptcies can require higher credit loss provisions and higher charges against the reserve for credit exposure
negatively impacting net income and various capital ratios.

Operational risk. Operational risk is the risk of (direct or indirect) loss
resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel and systems, or from external events. It is the potential for loss that arises from problems with operating processes, human error or omission, breaches in internal controls, fraud or
unforeseen catastrophes.

Inflation. Inflation, disinflation or deflation can impact a variety of economic measures and market values that
are important to the Corporations financial performance including interest rates, equity and fixed-income market values, the Corporations expense levels and prices for the Corporations products and services.

Levels of tax-free income. The level of the Corporations tax-exempt income can affect the Corporations effective tax rate.

Technological change. Technology is a very important component of many of the Corporations products and services as well as being critically
important to the Corporations internal operating processes. A faster rate of technological change can require the Corporation to invest more in technology



Mellon Financial Corporation    61

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT



---

to remain competitive and thus lead to higher expenses. On the other hand, technological change creates the opportunity for product
differentiation and higher revenues as well as reduced costs. There is a risk to the Corporation if its competitors are able to use technology to develop more marketable products and/or services at lower prices than the Corporation can offer.

Success in the timely development of new products and services. The Corporation operates in a highly competitive environment in all of the
markets it serves. The timely development of new products and services can represent a competitive advantage leading to increased revenues while the inability to do so can have the opposite effect.

Competitive product and pricing pressures within the Corporations markets. Competitive product and pricing pressures can affect the
Corporations ability to sell its products and services and can impact the prices the Corporation is able to charge. Demand for the Corporations products and services, price levels and activities of competitors will affect the
Corporations revenues.

Consumer spending and saving habits. The Corporation benefits from the savings of consumers that are invested
in mutual funds, defined contribution plans and other products offered or serviced by the Corporation. Changes in the rate of savings or preferred investment styles may affect the Corporations revenues.

Interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate fluctuations, the levels of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the direction of interest rate
changes and fluctuations in the interest rate spreads between different fixed income investments can affect the Corporations cost of funds, its net interest revenue and any other revenue that has a sensitivity to interest rates. Interest rate
fluctuations can also impact the demand for different investment products offered by the Corporation. In general, the Corporation attempts to mitigate the effects of either significant increases or decreases in interest rates on its income
statement.

Geographic sources of income.Global and regional economic factors including the level of cross-border investing by clients,
volatile currencies, monetary policies, as well as social and political instability could affect the Corporations results of operations.

Monetary fluctuations. Changes in monetary and credit conditions and their effect on the economy and the financial markets may impact the Corporation in a variety of ways.

Currency rate fluctuations. The Corporation sells its products and services in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to
movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Corporation enters into various derivative transactions in accordance with the Corporations policies, to offset to the extent possible the impact of the rate fluctuations.

Acquisitions and integrations of acquired businesses. Acquisitions of businesses or lines of business are an active part of the Corporations business
strategy and use of excess capital. Any acquisition presents execution risk. There can be no assurance that the operational or financial performance of an acquired business will be as expected, that any desired synergies will occur or that an
acquired business will be successfully assimilated into the Corporation.

Changes in law. The Corporation operates in a highly regulated
environment, both within and outside the U.S. Many laws and many regulatory agencies, both domestic and foreign, impact its operations. Changes in law could affect the competitive environment in which the Corporation operates, broaden or narrow the
scope of permitted activities of it and its competitors, facilitate or retard consolidation, impose higher costs or operating burdens and challenge the Corporation to adapt quickly and effectively to such changes.

Changes in fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade and tax policies and laws. Changes in these policies and laws could affect the products and services the
Corporation offers and therefore its revenues, as well as impose additional costs and expenses, such as higher taxes. Also, any significant changes will challenge the Corporation to adapt quickly and effectively.

Success in gaining regulatory approvals when required. If regulatory approval is required for an activity, product,
service, acquisition or disposition and approval cannot be obtained on a timely basis, the Corporation could miss the opportunity and the particular benefits it presented.

The uncertainties inherent in the litigation and litigation settlement process. At any given time, the Corporation is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings. The
Corporation evaluates the risks of these actions and proceedings within the context of current judicial decisions and legislative and regulatory interpretations. A trier of fact, either a judge or jury, could decide a case contrary to the
Corporations evaluation of the relevant facts or law, and a court or regulatory agency could act to change existing law on a particular issue.

The effects of terrorist acts and the results of the war on terrorism. Terrorist acts could have a significant impact on economic activity and could cause the Corporations customers not to purchase, or delay purchasing,
the Corporations products and services. In addition, the Corporation has in place business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Terrorists acts could, however, cause damage to the Corporations facilities or could cause delays or
disruptions to its operations. The Corporations vendors and counterparties could be similarly affected.

There are other risks and uncertainties
detailed elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report and in subsequent reports filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING



---

Management of the Corporation is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Corporation, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Corporations management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Corporations
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework. Based upon such assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the Corporations internal control over financial reporting is effective based upon those criteria.

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report under Financial Statements and
Notes, has issued a report with respect to managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page 67.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



---

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mellon
Financial Corporation:

We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting, that Mellon Financial Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Mellon Financial Corporations management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Mellon Financial Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our
opinion, Mellon Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Mellon Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006; and our report dated February 22, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of
presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of Mellon Financial Corporation (Mellon), a global financial services company, conform to
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and prevailing industry practices. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of related revenue and expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In addition to discontinued operations (see Note 4), other immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with current period presentation.

The consolidated financial statements of Mellon include the accounts of Mellon and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies 20% to 50% owned are carried
on the equity basis. Mellons share of earnings of nonconsolidated equity investments are reflected in noninterest revenue as institutional trust and custody, investment management or equity investment fee revenue, as appropriate, in the period
earned. Investments in companies less than 20% owned are carried at cost. Intracorporate balances and transactions are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The income statement and balance sheet include results of acquired businesses, accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations, and equity
investments from the dates of acquisition. We record any contingent purchase payments when the amounts are resolved and become payable.

The Parent
Corporation financial statements in Note 30 of Notes to Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Corporation; those of a wholly owned financing subsidiary that functions as a financing entity for Mellon and its subsidiaries by
issuing commercial paper and other debt guaranteed by Mellon; and MIPA, LLC, a single member company, created to hold and administer corporate owned life insurance. Financial data for the Parent Corporation, the financing subsidiary and the single
member company are combined for financial reporting purposes because of the limited function of these entities and the unconditional guarantee by Mellon of their obligations.

We consider the underlying facts and circumstances of individual transactions when assessing whether or not an entity is a potential variable interest entity (VIE). Mellons assessment focuses on its ability to
influence or control the potential VIE as well as the dispersion of risk and rewards attributable to the potential VIE. When Mellon transfers financial assets in a securitization to a VIE, the VIE must represent a qualifying special purpose entity
(QSPE) or we would continue to consolidate the transferred financial assets. QSPE status is achieved when all conditions specified in SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities, are met. Those conditions focus on whether the entity is demonstrably distinct from Mellon, limited to only permitted activities, limited on what assets the QSPE may hold, and limited on sales or other dispositions of assets. We
also obtain the required true-sale opinions from outside counsel on all securitizations. We have determined that all of our securitization trusts are QSPEs.

Nature of operations

Mellon is a global financial services company providing a broad range of financial products and services in domestic
and selected international markets. Through our five business sectors (Mellon Asset Management, Private Wealth Management, Asset Servicing, Payment Solutions & Investor Services and Other), we serve two distinct major classes of customers
 financial institutions, corporations and government bodies, and high net worth individuals. For financial institutions, corporations and government bodies, we provide the following services:

For individuals, we provide
mutual funds, separate accounts, wealth management and private banking services. Mellons asset management businesses provide investment products in many asset classes and investment styles. Although Mellons largest domestic subsidiaries
are headquartered primarily in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, most of our products and services are offered globally.

Trading account
securities, securities available for sale and investment securities

Securities are classified in the trading account securities portfolio, the
securities available for sale portfolio or the investment securities portfolio when they are purchased. Securities are classified as trading account securities when the intent is profit maximization through market appreciation and resale. Securities
are classified as available for sale when we intend to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time or when the securities may be used for tactical asset/liability purposes and may be sold from time to time to effectively manage interest
rate exposure, prepayment risk and liquidity needs. Securities are classified as investment securities when we intend to hold them until maturity.

Trading
account securities are stated at fair value. Trading revenue includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses. The liability incurred on short-sale transactions, representing the obligation to deliver securities, is included in other funds
borrowed at fair value.

Securities available for sale are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on assets classified as available for sale, net
of tax, are recorded as an addition to or deduction from other comprehensive results. Investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount on a level yield basis. Gains and losses on sales of
securities available for sale are reported in the income statement. The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis.

On a
quarterly basis, we review our investment securities that have a fair value less than the amortized cost of the security in order to determine if the decline in fair value is other than temporary. We consider many factors and all available evidence,
including the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, as well as our ability and current intent to hold the securities for a period sufficient for a recovery in value. Securities with an unrealized loss that is
determined to be other than temporary are written down to fair value, with the write-down recorded as a realized loss in gains (losses) on sales of securities.

Loans

Loans are reported net of any unearned discount. Loan origination and upfront commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan
origination and commitment costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans. Deferred fees and costs are netted against outstanding loan balances. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate
cost or fair value.

Unearned revenue on direct financing leases is accreted over the lives of the leases in decreasing amounts to provide a constant rate
of return on the net investment in the leases. Revenue on leveraged leases is recognized on a basis to achieve a constant yield on the outstanding investment in the lease, net of the related deferred tax liability, in the years in which the net
investment is positive. Gains on sales of lease residuals are recognized in financing-related revenue.

Commercial loans, including commercial leases,
generally are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. We also place commercial loans on nonaccrual status when the collection
of principal or interest becomes doubtful. Residential mortgage loans generally are placed on nonaccrual status when, in our judgment, collection is in doubt or the loans are 180 days or more delinquent. Personal loans, other than residential
mortgages, and certain secured commercial loans are charged off

upon reaching various stages of delinquency depending upon the loan type, or upon the death or bankruptcy of the borrower. When a
loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against current period interest revenue. Interest receipts on nonaccrual and impaired loans are recognized as interest revenue or are applied to principal
when we believe the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans generally are restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments become current or when the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of
collection.

A loan is considered to be impaired, as defined by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, when it is
probable that Mellon will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An impairment reserve is measured on the loans which meet the definition of an impaired loan per SFAS
No. 114. Personal nonaccrual loans are not tested for impairment because they are included in large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that, by definition along with leases, are excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 114.

Impaired loans are required to be measured based upon the loans market price, the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loans
initial effective interest rate, or at fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the loan valuation is less than the recorded value of the loan, an impairment reserve is established for the difference. The impairment
reserve is established by either an allocation of the reserve for credit losses or by a provision for credit losses. Impairment reserves are not needed when the recorded investment in an impaired loan is less than the loan valuation.

Reserve for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments

The
reserve for loan losses, shown as a valuation allowance to loans, and the liability reserve for unfunded commitments are referred to as Mellons reserve for credit exposure. The accounting policy for the determination of the adequacy of the
reserves has been identified as a critical accounting policy as it requires us to make numerous complex and subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are inherently uncertain.

The reserve for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date based on our judgment. The reserve determination
methodology is designed to provide procedural discipline in assessing the appropriateness of the reserve. Credit losses are charged against the reserve. Recoveries are added to the reserve.

The methodology for determining the liability for unfunded commitments considers the same factors as the reserve for loan losses, as well as an estimate of the
probability of drawdown.

Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, limited in the case of leasehold improvements to the
lease term, using the straight-line method.

Mellon capitalizes costs relating to acquired software and internal-use software development projects that
provide new or significantly improved functionality. We capitalize projects that are expected to result in longer term operational benefits, such as replacement systems or new applications that result in significantly increased operational

Identified intangible assets and goodwill

Identified intangible assets with estimable lives are amortized in a pattern consistent with the assets identifiable cash flows or using a straight-line method over their remaining estimated benefit periods if
the pattern of cash flows is not estimable. Intangible assets with estimable lives are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the asset. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives
are not amortized, but are assessed at least annually for impairment, generally based on discounted cash flows. The accounting policy for valuing and impairment testing of identified intangible assets

and goodwill has been identified as a critical accounting policy as it requires us to make numerous complex and
subjective estimates.

Income taxes

Deferred taxes are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of existing differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates. Mellon files a consolidated federal income tax return. A
deferred tax valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of
exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated monthly at an average monthly exchange rate. Transaction gains and losses are included in the income statement. Translation gains and losses on investments in foreign
entities with functional currencies that are not the U.S. dollar are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive results.

Fee revenue

Mellon records investment management, distribution and service, institutional trust and custody, payment solutions &
investor services, foreign exchange trading and other revenue when the services are provided and earned based on contractual terms, when amounts are determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Additionally, we recognize revenue from non-refundable, up-front implementation fees under outsourcing contracts using a straight-line method, commencing in the period
the ongoing services are performed through the expected term of the contractual relationship. Incremental direct set-up costs of implementation, up to the related implementation fee or minimum fee revenue amount, are deferred and amortized over the
same period that the related implementation fees are recognized. If a client terminates an outsourcing contract prematurely, the unamortized deferred incremental direct set-up costs and the unamortized deferred up-front implementation fees related
to that contract are recognized in the period the contract is terminated.

Investment management performance fees are recognized in the period in which the
performance fees are earned and become determinable. Performance fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the applicable portfolios performance in excess of a benchmark index or a peer groups performance. For hedge fund
investments, an investment management performance fee is calculated as a percentage of the applicable portfolios positive returns. When a portfolio underperforms its benchmark or fails to generate positive performance in the instance of a
hedge fund investment, subsequent years performance must generally exceed this shortfall prior to fees being earned. Amounts billable in subsequent years and which are subject to a clawback if performance thresholds in those years are not met
are not recognized since the fees are potentially uncollectible. These fees are recognized when it is determined that they will be collected. When a multiyear performance contract provides that fees earned are billed ratably over the performance
period, only the portion of the fees earned that is non-refundable are recognized.

Pensions

Mellon provides pension benefits to substantially all of its salaried employees through its noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans. Employees are provided
benefits that are based upon the employees years of service and compensation. The prepaid pension benefit is reported in other assets. The unfunded pension liability is recorded in other liabilities. Net periodic expense or benefit credits are
recognized in staff expense. Mellons accounting policy regarding pensions has been identified as a critical accounting policy as it is regarded to be critical to the presentation of our financial statements since it requires
management to make numerous complex and subjective assumptions relating to amounts which are inherently uncertain. For further discussion of our pension accounting policy, see pages 95, 96 and 97 of this report.

Severance

Mellon provides
displacement benefits through the Mellon Financial Corporation Displacement Program to eligible employees displaced from their jobs for business reasons not related to individual performance. Basic displacement benefits are based on the
employees years of continuous benefited service. Extended displacement benefits are based on salary grade and are available to eligible displaced employees who have not commenced other employment prior to exhausting their basic displacement
benefits pay. The extended displacement benefit will be discontinued in 2007 for current employees and was not offered to employees hired in 2006. Displacement expense is recorded when management commits to an action that will result in displacement
and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

Derivative instruments used for risk management purposes

Mellon enters into derivative instruments to manage its sensitivity to interest rate, currency and credit risk. This is accomplished by using these instruments to offset
the inherent price, interest rate or currency risk of specific balance sheet assets or liabilities. Qualifying instruments are designated as hedges on the trade date. All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair
values. The fair value of contracts in a gain position is reported on the balance sheet in other assets and the fair value of contracts in a loss position is reported in other liabilities. In cases where counterparty netting agreements exist, only
the net gain or loss on all eligible contracts with such counterparties are reported on the balance sheet. A derivative designated as a hedge of changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or of a firm commitment attributable to a specified
risk is considered to be a fair value hedge. A derivative designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to an asset or liability is considered to be cash flow hedge.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability
that is attributable to the hedged risk (including losses or gains on firm commitments), are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in
other comprehensive results, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods as the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective and qualify as foreign currency hedges are recorded in
either current period earnings or other comprehensive results, depending on whether the hedge transaction meets the criteria for a fair value or a cash flow hedge. If, however, a derivative or non-derivative financial instrument that may result in
foreign currency transaction gains or losses is used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the changes in fair value of the derivative or the non-derivative financial instrument, to the extent the hedge is effective, are recorded as
foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive results. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify as hedges are recorded in current period earnings.

Mellon formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various
hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivative instruments that are designated as fair value, cash flow, or foreign currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or
forecasted transactions. A formal assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing quarterly basis, is performed to determine whether the derivative instruments that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items and whether they are expected to continue to be highly effective in future periods.

When it is determined that a derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge
accounting is also discontinued when:



| |  |  | the derivative instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is no longer designated as a hedge instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative instrument will be either terminated, continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value or redesignated as
the hedging instrument in either a cash flow or fair value hedge, if the relationship meets all applicable hedging criteria. Any asset or liability that was previously recorded as a result of recognizing the value of a firm commitment will be
removed from the balance sheet and recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. Any gains or losses that were recorded in other comprehensive results from hedging a forecasted transaction will be recognized immediately in current period
earnings, if it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

For further discussion of hedging activity during 2004 through 2006, see the
Fair value hedges and Cash flow hedges sections on page 48 of this report. The information in those sections is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Financial Statements.

Derivative instruments used for trading activities

We enter into
various derivative instruments to accommodate our customers and for our proprietary trading activities. Derivative instruments that are based on specific market indices are also used to manage risk in other portfolios, such as start-up mutual fund
investments. In addition, we enter into credit default swaps, which allow the transfer of credit risk from one party to another for a fee.

These swaps,
which do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes, are used to hedge credit risk associated with commercial lending activities. Realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used for trading activities are
recognized in the income statement in foreign exchange trading or other revenue in the period in which the changes occur. The fair value of contracts used for proprietary trading activities is reported as other assets or other liabilities. In cases
where counterparty netting agreements exist, only the net gain or loss on all eligible contracts with such counterparty is reported on the balance sheet.

Statement of cash flows

Mellon has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and due from banks. Cash flows from assets and liabilities
that have an original maturity date of three months or less generally are reported on a net basis and those that have an original maturity date greater than three months generally are reported on a gross basis. Cash flows from hedging activities are
classified in the same category as the items hedged.

Pro forma cost of stock options

Effective Jan. 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, prospectively for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after Jan. 1, 2003. On Jan. 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, using
the modified prospective transition method of adoption. See Notes 2 and 23 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional disclosure.

The following
table illustrates the pro forma effect on income and earnings per share as if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) had been applied to all awards in each period. The cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in
the determination of net income for 2005 and 2004 was less than what would have been required by SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) if it had been adopted prior to Jan. 1, 2006. Following the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), we

2. Adoption of new accounting standards

SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004)

On Jan. 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment, which requires an entity to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options over their vesting period. Mellon had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, on a
prospective basis, for all awards granted, modified or settled after Jan. 1, 2003. We elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123 (Revised 2004) and therefore have not restated our financial results
for prior periods. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense for 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, Jan. 1, 2006. As such, we began expensing our
nonvested ShareSuccess stock options that were awarded prior to 2003. The total impact of expensing the ShareSuccess options was $4 million pre-tax in 2006. In addition, as discussed further in Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements, we
recorded expense of $2 million pre-tax in 2006 for restricted stock awards to retirement-eligible employees, bringing the total impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) to $4 million after-tax, or $.01 per share, in 2006.

Prior to Jan. 1, 2006, we recognized forfeitures on stock options and restricted stock as they occurred. SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) requires a
company to estimate the number of awards for which it is probable that the requisite service will be rendered and record that expense over the vesting period. The adjustment required at Jan. 1, 2006 to estimate forfeitures on previously
recognized compensation expense for unvested stock options and restricted stock was minimal.

In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123 (R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. Mellon has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the
FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123 (Revised 2004). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in
capital pool related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS 123 (Revised 2004).

SFAS No. 158 - Pensions

At Dec. 31, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R. This Statement requires, among other things, companies to recognize on the balance sheet the funded or unfunded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans and to recognize changes in the funded status, in the year the changes occur. As a result, companies now recognize on their balance sheets any previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs and
transition obligations that were not yet included in

income. At Dec. 31, 2006, we reduced our prepaid pension asset and increased our unfunded pension liability and
postretirement medical liability, with the offset recorded as a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (a component of equity) by $245 million pre-tax, or $159 million after-tax. The effect of adopting this Statement was to
reduce both our shareholders equity to assets ratio and tangible shareholders equity to assets ratio by approximately 40 basis points at Dec. 31, 2006.

SAB 108 - Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 108 Guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. This SAB addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying the misstatements in current-year
financial statements. The SAB requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the year-end balance sheet perspective (iron curtain method) and current year income statement perspective (rollover method) and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying the aggregate impact of prior period uncorrected misstatements as material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 did not have an impact on our results of
operations or financial position in 2006.

3. Contingent and deferred consideration related to acquisitions

Mellon completed four acquisitions in 2006, listed below by business sector, at a total cost of $347 million paid in cash plus $110 million in shares of our
common stock for the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition. Goodwill and intangibles of $534 million were recorded for these acquisitions.

Additional consideration for prior
acquisitions of $20 million was paid in 2006, including $3 million in shares of our common stock for the Arden Group, Inc. acquisition and the last of four annual deferred consideration cash payments of $12.5 million in connection
with the Standish Mellon acquisition. The $47 million net present value of this obligation was recorded as additional goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2002.

We record contingent purchase payments when amounts are determinable. Amounts generally become determinable and payable when an acquisition reaches a certain level of performance. At Dec. 31, 2006, we are potentially obligated to pay
contingent additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions for the performance of the acquired companies and joint ventures, could range from approximately $170 million to $370 million over the next four years, including
a possible additional payment of $20 million for DPM Mellon. None of the potential contingent additional consideration was recorded as goodwill at Dec. 31, 2006.

Mellon owns 70% of Mellon Financial Services Asset Management S.A., a Brazilian institutional asset management and asset servicing company. The minority interest owners have attempted to exercise certain put rights,
which obligate our subsidiary to purchase the remaining 30% of the company. The purchase price, as defined, is based on the levels of assets under management and administration, among other things. The minority interest owners and Mellon disagree on
the computation of the purchase price. This dispute is in binding arbitration. We offered $6 million for the remaining 30% of the company and the minority interest owners made an initial request of $59 million, based upon exchange rates in
effect at Dec. 31, 2006.

4. Discontinued operations

In
August 2006, we announced a definitive agreement to sell our insurance premium financing company, AFCO Credit Corporation, and its Canadian affiliate, CAFO Inc., to Branch Banking

and Trust Company. It was determined that this business no longer fit our strategic focus on our global asset management and
securities servicing businesses. This business was formerly included in the Other sector. The sale closed on Jan. 2, 2007 resulting in a gain of $11 million after-tax, that was recorded in the first quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of
2006, we applied discontinued operations accounting to this business and the income statements for all periods have been restated. The restatement primarily resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of net interest revenue and the net
interest margin; a slight reduction in financing-related revenue; a reduction in operating expenses; and a slight change in continuing earnings per share for certain periods.

In December 2006, Mellon sold its ownership interest in the direct and indirect portfolios of Mellon Ventures, our venture capital business, to investment funds organized by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
and New MVI, L.P. This decision was based upon the determination that this business no longer fit our strategic focus on our global asset management and securities servicing businesses. A substantial portion of the sale was completed in December
2006 with subsequent closings expected to occur during the first quarter of 2007, once remaining consents to the transfer are obtained. This business was formerly included in the Other sector. We applied discontinued operations accounting to this
business in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the income statements for all periods have been restated. This restatement resulted in a reduction to previously reported levels of equity investment revenue; a reduction in operating expenses; an increase
in net interest revenue; and a change in continuing earnings per share.

The sale of the venture capital portfolios and related costs generated an
after-tax loss of $68 million, reported as a net loss on disposals. The sale of these portfolios was completed as a bulk sale transaction, as a result of Mellons desire to complete its business exit rapidly and in one transaction. Prior
to Mellon considering the sale of its venture capital portfolio, each investment in the portfolio was carried at fair value in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide, which does not provide for a bulk sale liquidation discount. Fair
values were individually derived from the Mellon Ventures valuation process. This process included observable and unobservable data points that were subject to independent validation and senior management oversight on a quarterly basis, but did not
consider a bulk sale discount within the framework of the valuation. Although the sale resulted in a loss, Mellon accepted the price to allow it to redeploy capital to its core business strategy, as well as to minimize the volatility associated with
variable revenues versus the relatively fixed carrying and operating costs of the business.

This transaction was settled for cash and a $38 million
receivable. The receivable amount is adjustable upward or downward under certain circumstances upon disposition of a single investment. Mellon also retained gain sharing provisions for certain other investments.

On March 16, 2005, Mellon announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell our human resources (HR) consulting practices, benefits administration and
business process outsourcing businesses, included in the former Human Resources & Investor Solutions sector, to Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS). After a thorough review, it was determined that the investments required to compete
successfully in those businesses could be better utilized by building on the strong positions of our other core businesses. The sale closed on May 26, 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, we applied discontinued operations accounting to these
businesses.

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we applied discontinued operations accounting to certain businesses in Australia. We sold our business
providing comprehensive multi-manager defined contribution services to the intermediary market in the fourth quarter of 2004. In April 2005, we sold our Australian consulting and administration businesses to Mercer Human Resource Consulting. These
businesses were formerly included primarily in the Mellon Asset Management sector.

Because the lines of business included in discontinued operations were
discrete lines of business serving classes of customers no longer served by Mellons continuing lines of business, the

disposition of these businesses has no material impact on continuing operations going forward.

|(b) | The average expected lives of Federal agencies mortgage-backed and Other mortgage-backed securities were approximately 3.7 years and 1.7 years,
respectively, at Dec. 31, 2006.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right
to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Rates are calculated on a taxable equivalent basis using a 35% federal income tax rate.

Pledged assets

Securities available for sale, investment securities, trading account securities and loans with book
values of $16.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2006 and $15.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2005 were pledged to secure public and trust deposits, repurchase agreements and for other purposes. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. The collateral received from or provided to
third parties under resale or repurchase agreements can be sold or repledged by the holder of the collateral. The fair value of collateral received totaled $125 million and the fair value of collateral provided totaled $133 million, under
these agreements at Dec. 31, 2006. The fair value of collateral either received from or provided to a third party is continually monitored and additional collateral is obtained from, or requested to be returned to, Mellon as deemed appropriate.

The unrealized loss of $157 million at Dec. 31, 2006 related to movement in interest rates. Nearly all
of the securities with unrealized losses are AAA-rated or carry government agency guarantees. Approximately 85% of the unrealized losses on these 1,031 investments have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.
Management believes the collection of the contractual principal and interest is probable and therefore all unrealized losses are considered to be temporary. As shown on pages 82 and 83, unrealized gains totaled $48 million in the

Referral arrangements with Three Rivers Funding Corp. (TRFC), an asset-backed commercial paper entity

Mellons
primary banking subsidiary, Mellon Bank, has a referral relationship with, and provides administrative services to, TRFC, a special purpose entity that issues commercial paper. TRFC is owned by an independent third party and is not a subsidiary of
either Mellon Bank or Mellon. Its financial results are not included in the financial statements of Mellon Bank or Mellon. TRFC was formed in 1990 and can issue up to $5 billion of commercial paper to make loans secured by, and to purchase,
pools of receivables and asset backed securities. Mellon Bank operates as a referral agent and refers transactions to TRFC as well as providing administrative services. Loans or other assets are not transferred from Mellon Bank to TRFC. TRFC sold
subordinated notes to an unrelated third party in 2003, and as a result of that sale, Mellon is not the

primary beneficiary of TRFC, as defined by FIN 46 Revised. At Dec. 31, 2006, TRFCs receivables
totaled $3.200 billion and commercial paper outstanding totaled $3.213 billion, compared with receivables and commercial paper outstanding each totaling $1.550 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. A letter of credit provided by Mellon Bank
in support of TRFCs commercial paper totaled $149 million at Dec. 31, 2006, compared with $191 million at Dec. 31, 2005. Liquidity support is provided by Mellon Bank up to the full amount of commercial paper outstanding, or
$3.213 billion, at Dec. 31, 2006. However, the probability of a loss scenario is remote as there are significant structural protections built into each transaction to provide protection against uncollectible receivables. Since TRFCs
formation in 1990, Mellon Bank has not been required to fund under any liquidity support or under the letter of credit. In addition, Mellon Bank has never purchased a receivable from TRFC or recorded a credit loss related to its relationship with
TRFC.

8. Reserve for credit exposure

For details of the reserve
for credit exposure, see the 2006, 2005 and 2004 columns of the Reserve for unfunded commitments table on page 41 and the Loan loss reserve activity table on page 42. The information in those columns is incorporated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During 2006, the gross carrying amount of intangible assets subject to amortization increased $246 million, as acquisitions
and contingent payments [Walter Scott & Partners - $243 million (Mellon Asset Management); U.S. Trust - $3 million (Private Wealth Management); ClearTran - $2 million (PS&IS); Singer & Friedlander -
$1 million (Mellon Asset Management)] and the effect of foreign exchange rates, were partially offset by an $11 million impairment charge. The impairment writedown of a customer base intangible asset was recorded at DPM Mellon resulting
principally from the loss of a major client that existed at the date of acquisition, due to the clients liquidation of its assets in 2006. The writedown was recorded in the Asset Servicing sector as amortization of intangible assets.
Approximately $34 million of goodwill related to DPM Mellon is recorded in the Asset Servicing sector, which is defined as the business reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. This goodwill was not considered to be impaired
at Dec. 31, 2006.

In 2006, $226 million, with a weighted-average amortization period of 16 years, was assigned to the customer base
intangibles, principally for the Walter Scott & Partners acquisition. In addition, $21 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 7 years, was assigned to other and $2 million with a weighted-average amortization
period of 10 years, was assigned to the technology based intangible. We amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense totaled $44 million (including the $11 million impairment charge) in 2006,
$27 million in 2005 and $19 million in 2004.

Based upon the current level of intangible assets, the estimated annual amortization expense for
2007 through 2012 is as follows:

| |  | 2012 |  |  |  | 27                                         |  | 

During 2006, intangible assets not subject to amortization increased $17 million due to the Walter
Scott & Partners acquisition ($25 million) recorded as a tradename intangible, and additional consideration for a prior-year acquisition ($2 million) were partially offset by the classification of the assets of HBV Alternative
Strategies, LLC ($10 million) as assets of a business transferred under contractual arrangements in Other Assets.

At Dec. 31, 2006,
$922 million of goodwill and acquired intangible assets is tax deductible and $1.925 billion is non-tax deductible.

activities and interest rate risk management purposes.

Included in Other assets in the table above are $30 million of notes and $6 million of receivables related to the
divestiture of Mellon HBV Alternative Strategies LLC (HBV), which was transferred under contractual arrangements to a third party. The consideration for the business is a series of payments for up to 13 years, which are dependent on HBVs
cash flow. Accounting guidelines do not permit recording this transaction as a sale for accounting purposes, because Mellon received a nominal down-payment, will be paid over a relatively long period and the payments are dependent solely on
HBVs revenue. Mellon will not receive future net profit distributions and is not subject to the ongoing operating risks of the business. All future proceeds, including interest on the notes, will be recorded against the carrying value of the
notes on a cost recovery basis. Concurrent with the reclassification to Other assets, a $5 million impairment charge was recorded in Other operating expense to reflect the fair value of the asset. The fair value was estimated using a discounted
cash flow analysis of the future payments, as no independent market value was readily determinable. The carrying value will be evaluated quarterly and could result in additional charges.

12. Deposits

The aggregate amount of time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or greater was approximately $4.5 billion
at Dec. 31, 2006, and $2.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. At Dec. 31, 2006, the scheduled maturities of all time deposits for the years 2007 through 2011, and 2012 and thereafter are as follows: $4.482 billion, $19 million,
$18 million, $1 million, $15 million and $62 million, respectively.

13. Revolving credit agreement

The Parent Corporation has a $200 million revolving credit agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., Mellons primary bank subsidiary. This agreement serves as a
support facility for commercial paper and for general corporate purposes, and expires in June 2007. The credit facility had several restrictions, including a minimum 6% consolidated Tier I ratio and a 1.30 maximum double leverage limitation. At
Dec. 31, 2006, Mellon was in compliance with all of the restrictions. In addition, any borrowings are to be collateralized with eligible assets of our non-bank subsidiaries. No borrowings were made under this facility in 2006 or 2005.
Commitment fees totaled less than $1 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004. There were no third party credit facilities issued to subsidiaries of Mellon at Dec. 31, 2006 or 2005.

During 2006, the Parent Corporation filed a shelf registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that gives it the ability to issue an indeterminate amount of debt, equity and junior subordinated debentures, subject to maintaining eligibility to use the shelf registration statement. In accordance with the merger agreement
with The Bank of New York, Mellon is restricted from issuing equity or equity linked securities prior to the proposed merger.

The Mellon Bank, N.A., notes
are subordinated to obligations to depositors and other creditors. The medium-term senior bank notes are subordinated to domestic depositors and are on par with other

unsubordinated and unsecured creditors of Mellon Bank, N.A.

The aggregate amounts of notes and debentures (including the effect of fair value hedge adjustments) that mature during the five years 2007 through 2011 for Mellon are as follows: $840 million, $249 million,
$288 million, $347 million and $748 million. The aggregate amounts of notes and debentures that mature during the five years 2007 through 2011 for Mellon Financial Corporation (Parent Corporation) are as follows: $398 million,
$249 million, $288 million, $347 million and $748 million.

15. Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures held by trusts that issued
guaranteed capital debt securities (junior subordinated debentures)

Mellon established three statutory business trusts, Mellon Capital I, Mellon
Capital II and Mellon Capital III, of which Mellon owns all of the common capital securities. These trusts exist solely to issue guaranteed preferred beneficial interests (trust-preferred securities) in Mellons junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures, which are reported on our consolidated balance sheet as Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures held by trusts that issued guaranteed capital debt securities (junior subordinated debentures). We record
interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures. We also recorded in other assets the $31 million of common capital securities issued by the trusts. Loans held by the trusts, reflected as subordinated debentures on Mellons
consolidated balance sheet, are the sole assets of the trusts.

Mellon has the right to defer payment of interest on the junior subordinated debentures at
any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years for the Series A and B and a period not to exceed ten years for the Series C. If interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures are deferred, the distributions on the
trust-preferred securities also are deferred. Interest on the junior subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust-preferred securities is cumulative. Mellon, through guarantees and agreements, has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all
of the trusts obligations under the trust-preferred securities. The trust-preferred securities, less the common capital securities issued by the trusts, continue to qualify as Tier I capital.

The Series A and Series B junior subordinated debentures were each issued for a face value of $515 million. The Series C junior subordinated
debentures were issued in pound sterling at a face value of £200 million. The Series A, B and C junior subordinated debentures pay interest semiannually and are reported net of issuance costs in the table above. The debentures are
unsecured and subordinate to all of Mellons senior debt (as defined).

The Series A and Series B securities are redeemable at 103.86% and
103.9975% of the liquidation amounts, plus accrued distributions, during the 12-month periods beginning Dec. 1, 2006 and Jan. 15, 2007 (the call dates). Based on current interest rate expectations and subject to our ability to issue replacement
securities prior to the proposed merger with The Bank of New York, we intend to redeem our Series A and Series B junior subordinated debentures in the second quarter of 2007. We expect to replace these securities with a combination of Tier I
qualifying capital securities and senior debt securities that would reduce our future funding costs. Redemption of both securities would result in a total pre-tax charge to income of $46 million for the redemption premiums and write-off of
unamortized issuance costs.

The Series C securities are redeemable at par, in whole but not in part, at Mellons option on or after
Sept. 19, 2016. The Series C debentures are also redeemable prior to that date, in whole, within 90 days following receipt of a legal opinion that, due to a change in the tax laws or an administrative or judicial decision, there is a
substantial risk that the tax deductibility of the interest could be

disallowed (tax event); or Mellons reasonable determination that, due to a change in law or administrative or
judicial decision, there is a substantial risk that Tier I capital treatment could be disallowed (capital treatment event); or following receipt of a legal opinion that, due to a change in the tax laws or an administrative or judicial
decision, there is a substantial risk that the trust is or will be considered an investment company that is required to be registered under the Investment Act of 1940 (investment company event); or if the trust or Mellon is required to
withhold income tax on the Preferred Securities or the junior subordinated debentures (withholding tax event).

The Series C securities
will be redeemed on Sept. 19, 2036 (the scheduled maturity date) subject to the satisfaction of certain redemption conditions.

16. Preferred stock

Mellon has authorized 50 million shares of preferred stock, none of which was issued at Dec. 31, 2006, 2005
or 2004.

17. Regulatory capital requirements

A discussion about
Mellons regulatory capital requirements for 2006 and 2005 is presented in the Regulatory capital section on pages 34 and 35 and is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Financial Statements.

18. Noninterest revenue

The components of noninterest revenue for 2006, 2005
and 2004 are presented in the Noninterest revenue table on page 8. Institutional trust and custody revenue includes equity income from Asset Servicing joint ventures of $75 million, $45 million and $32 million in
2006, 2005 and 2004. Investment management revenue includes $2 million, $- million and $3 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004 of equity income from Mellon Asset Management joint ventures. That table, including through the Total
noninterest revenue line, is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Financial Statements.

A valuation allowance of $52 million has been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109 relating to
deferred tax assets associated with state and foreign loss carry forwards. During 2006, deferred tax assets were recognized for state and foreign purposes that had previously not been recognized. Management believes that it is more likely than not
that realization of these assets will not occur.

The foreign tax credit carry forwards at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005 were $12 million and
$25 million, respectively, expiring between 2010 and 2015.

Included in tax expense in 2005 is a tax benefit of $2 million related to the
repatriation of earnings from foreign subsidiaries under Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code.

As part of a restructuring of its foreign
operations, Mellon transferred certain businesses to a new foreign subsidiary. Income taxes attributed to the intergroup transfer of identified intangibles related to those businesses are deferred and amortized over the anticipated life of the
intangibles. Deferred

taxes related to other temporary differences that reversed upon the transfer of the foreign operations and other related
adjustments resulted in a deferred tax benefit of $66 million.

Mellon provides deferred U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries except to the extent that such earnings are indefinitely reinvested. As a result of the restructuring of its foreign operations, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2006, Mellon indefinitely reinvested earnings in certain foreign
subsidiaries, resulting in $74 million of earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were indefinitely reinvested at Dec. 31, 2006. The deferred U.S. tax on those earnings that would be provided if those earnings were not indefinitely reinvested
would be approximately $2 million. In addition, there is $178 million of tax basis differences related to foreign currency translation and other temporary differences which would reverse only upon a taxable transaction for which no
deferred U.S. tax has been provided. If taxes were provided on these other basis differences, the resulting deferred tax liability would be $62 million.

Locations domiciled outside of the U.S. generated foreign pre-tax earnings of approximately $249 million in 2006, $112 million in 2005 and $10 million in 2004.

23. Employee benefits

Defined
Benefit Retirement Plans

Mellons largest subsidiary, Mellon Bank, and some of our smaller subsidiaries sponsor trusteed, noncontributory, defined
benefit pension plans. Together, these plans cover substantially all salaried employees of Mellon.

The plans provide benefits that are based on the
employees years of service and compensation. In addition, several unfunded plans exist for certain employees or for purposes that are not addressed by the funded plans.

The following tables report the combined data of the funded and unfunded plans. The impact of acquisitions shown below reflects the acquisition of a pension plan previously sponsored by the Russell/Mellon joint
venture. The impact of divestitures shown below relates to the sale of the HR businesses to ACS in May 2005.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all funded defined benefit pension plans was $1.349 billion at
Dec. 31, 2006 and $1.295 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. The accumulated benefit obligation for all unfunded defined benefit plans was $149 million at Dec. 31, 2006 and $150 million at Dec. 31, 2005.

There were no funded plans with obligations in excess of plan assets at Dec. 31, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005.

Mellon considers its accounting policy regarding pensions to be critical to the presentation of our financial statements since it requires us to make complex and
subjective estimates and assumptions relating to amounts which are inherently uncertain. This policy, including the assumed discount rate, expected return on plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increase, which was reviewed with the Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors, is discussed on the following pages.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The data above are prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions. Three
primary economic assumptions influence the reported values of plan liabilities and pension costs. SFAS No. 87 directs that each significant assumption used in the measurement of net periodic benefit cost (credit) must reflect Mellons best
estimate solely with respect to that individual assumption. We take the following factors into consideration when establishing each assumption.

The
discount rate represents an estimate of the rate at which retirement plan benefits could be effectively settled. This assumption is sensitive to movements in market rates and, therefore, is likely to change from year to year. Mellon considers
alternative reference points when setting the discount rate including current rates of return available on longer term high grade bonds. In particular, we take into account changes in yields on these longer term bonds, specifically the direction and
magnitude of such changes, between the previous year end and the current year end. The primary benchmark used is the Moodys Aa Corporate Bond Index. A comparison of the duration of the projected benefit obligation for our retirement programs
to that of the Moodys Aa index indicates that the index provides a reasonable basis for use in setting the discount rate. We verify the reasonableness of the discount rate by comparing the projected benefit obligation to the liability obtained
by discounting expected future benefit payments using a theoretical zero-coupon spot yield curve derived from a universe of high quality bonds.

When
setting the rate of compensation increase assumption, we take into consideration our recent experience with respect to average rates of compensation increase and expectations for future increases to remain competitive, based on compensation survey
data relative to average compensation increases that other large corporations have awarded, and compensation increases that other large corporations expect to award over the upcoming year. This assumption is somewhat sensitive to inflation and,
therefore, may change from year to year. The assumed rate of compensation increase was 3.25% at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005.

The assumed rate of return on
plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns available to investors who hold a mixture of stocks, bonds and cash equivalent securities. When setting our expected return on plan assets assumption, we consider long-term rates of return on
various asset classes (both historical and expected, using data collected from various sources generally regarded as authoritative) in the context of expected long-term average asset allocations for our defined benefit pension plans. Certain asset
allocation benchmarks employed by institutional investors also serve as reference points. To develop assumed rates of return, for example, we applied a benchmark asset allocation of 65% stocks, 30% bonds and 5% cash equivalent securities, to the
following long-term rates of return on each asset class.

As the previous table indicates, Mellon intends to reduce its expected return for equities and increase its
expected return for fixed-income securities for 2007 and the future, resulting in a net decrease in the expected return on assets. We believe that these individual rates of return are reasonable estimates, based on long-term historical data and
third party estimates of future expected returns, of the long-term returns that may be expected from each asset class, and that a 65/30/5 assumed asset mix is a reasonable long-term benchmark for Mellons pension plans. Asset classes actually
employed in the retirement plans, as well as asset allocation, vary from time to time. This assumption is set with a long-term horizon and, therefore is not necessarily expected to change on an annual basis. The return on plan assets in 2006 for the
funded plans was 13.5%. The returns for the 3, 5 and 10 year periods ending in 2006 were 11.2%, 8.4% and 8.7%.

Mellons funded pension
plans weighted-average asset allocations at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005, by asset category are as follows:

Each retirement plan is administered by fiduciaries who establish investment policy for that plan. Plan assets are
invested with the primary objective of satisfying obligations for future benefit payments. The investment policies seek to preserve plan assets and to maximize long-term total return on them, subject to maintaining reasonable constraints on overall
portfolio volatility. The investment policies are also designed to comply with applicable regulations (e.g., ERISA in the U.S.). In general, equity securities within any plans portfolio are maintained in the range of 45% to 75% of total plan
assets, fixed-income securities range from 20% to 50% of plan assets and other assets (including cash equivalents) are held in amounts ranging from 0% to 10% of plan assets. Asset allocation within the approved ranges varies from time to time based
on economic conditions (both current and forecast) and the advice of professional investment advisors retained by the fiduciaries.

Mellon expects to make
cash contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plans, outside the U.S., in the range of $16 million to $18 million in 2007.

The
following benefit payments for Mellons funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans, which reflect expected future service as appropriate, are expected to be paid:

The following discussions regarding share based compensation plans and postretirement benefits other than pensions
includes amounts in discontinued operations.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

Mellon 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

The
Mellon 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan covers our U.S. benefits-eligible employees. Employees payroll deductions contributed to the plan are matched by Mellons contribution of common stock, at the rate of $.65 on the dollar, up to 6% of
the employees eligible base salary. The contribution rate was increased to $.75 on the dollar commencing in 2007. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, we recognized $23 million, $25 million and $29 million of expense related to this plan and
contributed 629,717; 810,452; and 1,001,069 shares of our common stock. All shares contributed in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were issued from treasury stock. The plan held 11,948,393; 12,296,426; and 13,562,670 shares of Mellon common stock at
Dec. 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Other Defined Contribution Plans

Mellon maintains a defined contribution retirement plan in the United Kingdom, which covers Newton Investment Management employees along with certain other non-U.S.
employees. In 2006, 2005, and 2004, Mellon recognized $9 million, $8 million and $8 million of expense related to this plan.

Effective
Sept. 30, 2006, all existing retirement plans in the United Kingdom were closed to new entrants. This included the defined contribution plan covering Newton employees as well a defined benefit plan covering employees of the Mellon
Bank, N.A. London Branch, the asset servicing business and shared services. These plans remain unchanged for employees hired prior to Oct. 1, 2006. All new hires offered employment in the United Kingdom on and after Oct. 1, 2006
participate in a new defined contribution plan that provides a uniform percentage of pay benefit to all eligible employees. The new arrangement is expected to reduce total retirement program costs over time. However, costs will increase by
approximately $2 million for the next few years.

We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, which can materially affect fair value estimates. The fair value of each option was
estimated on the date of the grant using assumptions applicable as of that date. The average value of the assumptions used, weighted by the number of options granted on each date, are shown in the following table:



|                          |  |          |   |  |          |   |  |          |

|                          |  | 2006     |   |  | 2005     |   |  | 2004     |  
|Expected dividend yields  |  | 2.3      | % |  | 2.5      | % |  | 2.3      | %
|Risk-free interest rates  |  | 4.5      | % |  | 4.1      | % |  | 3.8      | %
|Expected volatility       |  | 23       | % |  | 22       | % |  | 22       | %
|Expected lives of options |  | 5.6 yrs. |   |  | 5.3 yrs. |   |  | 5.5 yrs. |  

Mellon uses a market-based implied volatility for traded options on its stock for the corresponding expected term
of the option as the expected volatility assumption input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the yield on the measurement date of zero-coupon Treasury Strips whose maturity period equals
the options expected term. The dividend yield assumption is based on Mellons history and expectation of dividend payouts over the term of the option. The expected life computation was derived based on historical exercise patterns.

Change-in-Control Provisions

If the proposed merger
with The Bank of New York is approved by the Mellon shareholders, certain change-in-control provisions will be triggered related to Mellons Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan, Stock Option Plans for Outside Directors, ShareSuccess Plan and
Director Equity Plan (2006), that will result in the immediate vesting and expensing of most of these benefits upon shareholder approval. At Dec. 31, 2006, there was approximately $70 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to
these plans. This amount does not include unrecognized compensation cost for the vesting of benefits for certain senior officers who waived their acceleration of vesting provisions.

Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan

Mellons Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (2004) provides for the issuance
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, deferred cash incentive awards, shares of restricted stock, deferred share awards and other stock-based awards to employees of Mellon and its subsidiaries, as approved by the
Compensation and Management Succession Committee (the Compensation Committee) of our Board of Directors. Stock options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options may be
exercised during fixed periods of time from one year to 10 years from the date of grant. In the event of a change in control of Mellon, as defined in the Plan, these options will become immediately exercisable, unless otherwise provided in the
option agreement.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, options for 1,483,955; 3,832,703; and 6,385,015 shares were granted and options for 4,765,562; 2,459,121;
and 1,857,950 shares were exercised. Total outstanding grants as of Dec. 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were 25,019,575; 29,807,148; and 32,251,012 shares. The expense recorded in 2006 for these options was $32 million pre-tax, including
$3 million for options held by Mellons former chairman and CEO, pursuant to his employment agreement. The expense recorded in 2005 was $24 million pre-tax and in 2004 was $18 million pre-tax. At Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005,
shares available for grant were 17,352,931 and 18,441,942.

Included in the Dec. 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 outstanding grants were options for 11,720;
44,655; and 123,026 shares, that become exercisable in full near the end of their 10-year terms, but the exercise dates may be accelerated to an earlier date by the Compensation Committee, based on the optionees

and Mellons performance. There was no expense recorded for these options in 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Restricted stock, performance shares and deferred share awards have also been issued and are outstanding under the Plan. These awards are discussed in the Mellon
Incentive Compensation Plan, Profit Bonus Plan, Performance Shares, Restricted Stock Awards and Director Equity Plan section on pages 102 and 103 of this report.

Stock Option Plans for Outside Directors

Mellon had two stock option plans providing for the granting of options to
non-employee members of our Boards of Directors. The Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (2001) provided for grants of stock options to the non-employee directors of Mellon and members of our Advisory Board of Directors. This plan was
replaced by the Director Equity Plan (2006) in April 2006, and is discussed on page 103. The Stock Option Plan for Affiliate Boards of Directors (1999) provides for grants of stock options to the non-employee members of those boards
who are not also members of Mellons Board of Directors. No grants can be made to employees of Mellon under these plans. The timing, amounts, recipients and other terms of the option grants are determined by the terms of the directors
option plans and no person or committee has discretion over these grants. The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. All options have a term of 10 years from the regular date of
grant and become exercisable one year from the regular grant date. Directors elected during the service year are granted options on a pro-rata basis to those granted to the directors at the start of the service year. In the event of a change in
control of Mellon, as defined in the directors stock option plans, all outstanding options granted under the directors stock option plans will become immediately exercisable. Options are also currently outstanding under the Stock Option
Plan for the Mellon Financial Group West Coast Board of Directors (1998). This plan was terminated in 2003. No grants were made under this plan in 2006 and no further grants have been or will be made under it.

Total outstanding grants under these plans as of Dec. 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, were 567,498; 690,046; and 804,506 shares of our common stock. During 2006, 2005 and
2004, options for 6,000; 48,900; and 53,649 shares of our common stock were granted and options for 128,548; 163,360; and 163,900 shares were exercised. The expense recorded in 2006, 2005 and 2004 for these options was less than $1 million
pre-tax. At Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005, shares available for grant were 54,827 and 382,420.

Summary

The following tables summarize stock option activity for the last three years for the Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan and the stock option plans for outside directors and
the characteristics of outstanding stock options at Dec. 31, 2006. The tables below exclude options issued under Mellons ShareSuccess Plan which is described on pages 101 and 102. Requirements for stock option shares can be met from
either unissued or treasury shares. All shares issued upon exercise of options in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were from treasury shares.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options in the preceding table is the pre-tax value that employees and directors could realize if the options were exercised and
the employees received the difference between the options exercise prices and the $42.15 closing per share market price of Mellons common stock at Dec. 29, the last trading day of 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised
was $55 million for 2006.

As of Dec. 31, 2006, $27 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted was estimated at $8.14 per share in
2006, $6.73 per share in 2005 and $6.43 per share in 2004 and will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Broad-Based Employee Stock Options

In June 1999, Mellon adopted its ShareSuccess Plan, a broad-based employee stock option plan covering full- and part-time benefited employees who are not participants in the Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan discussed previously. Effective
June 15, 1999, each full-time employee was granted an option to purchase 150 shares and each benefited part-time employee was granted an option to purchase 75 shares of Mellons common stock. Additional grants, of the same number
of shares, were made June 15, 2000, June 15, 2001 and June 14, 2002. (In addition, effective June 15, 2001, each non-benefited part-time employee was granted an option for 75 shares.) The exercise price was equal to the
stock price on the grant date. The options become exercisable after seven years, or at any time after one year from the grant date if Mellons common stock closing market price equals or exceeds a predetermined price for 10 consecutive
trading days. In the event of a change in control of Mellon, as defined in the plan, these options become immediately exercisable, subject to certain conditions. All outstanding options expire 10 years after the grant date. On Nov. 10,
2000, the options granted on June 15, 1999, vested when our common stock closing market price met or exceeded $45 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The options granted in 2000, 2001 and 2002 have not yet vested and will vest when
Mellons common stock closing market price meets or exceeds $50, $60 and $45 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. Upon adoption of SFAS 123 (Revised 2004) on Jan. 1, 2006, we began to recognize expense for the unvested portion
of these options. An expense of $4 million pre-tax was recorded in the 2006. No expense was recorded in 2005 or 2004 for these options. The following table presents the activity in the ShareSuccess Plan during 2006, 2005 and 2004. All shares
issued upon exercise of options were from treasury shares. At Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005, shares available for grant were 4,885,955 and 4,422,405. We do not anticipate additional annual broad-based grants under the ShareSuccess Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options in the preceding table is the pre-tax value that employees could realize if the
options were exercised and the employees received the difference between the options exercise prices and the $42.15 closing market price of Mellons common stock at Dec. 29, 2006, the last trading day in 2006. The total intrinsic
value of options exercised was less than $1 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2006. As of Dec. 31, 2006, $6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to ShareSuccess stock options is expected to be recognized over
a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In early 2001, we implemented an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). All active employees of Mellon and designated subsidiaries are eligible to participate. Participants purchase common stock at 95% of its fair
market value on the last trading day of each three month purchase period. No charge to earnings is required with respect to this plan. In 2006, 116,002 shares were issued at prices ranging from $34.29 to $38.22. In 2005, 161,353 shares
were issued at prices ranging from $26.37 to $31.96. At Dec. 31, 2006, 7,630,053 shares were available for purchase under this plan. All shares that were issued were from treasury shares.

Mellon
Incentive Compensation Plan, Profit Bonus Plan, Performance Shares, Restricted Stock Awards and Director Equity Plan

Performance-based awards are made
to key employees at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The granting of these awards is based upon the performance of the key employees and on Mellons overall performance (or particular business line
performance) in achieving its objectives. At the Committees election, awards may be paid in a lump sum or may be deferred and paid over a period of up to 15 years and can be in the form of cash, common stock, restricted stock or deferred
share awards equivalent to restricted stock. Employees are generally prevented from selling or transferring restricted stock or deferred share awards for a three- year period, and generally the shares or units are forfeited if employment is
terminated during that period. However, restrictions on some restricted shares will lapse upon the applicable employees retirement at age 55 or older with at least five years of employment. No restricted stock was awarded in connection
with the Profit Bonus Plan in 2006, 2005 and 2004.

During 2006, Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Performance shares were granted to senior officers under
Mellons Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (2004). Under the terms of the TSR Performance share awards, a target award comprised of restricted shares is granted to an employee at the beginning of the three-year performance period. Mellons
actual TSR for the performance period is compared to the results of its peer group of 19 companies for the same period, with Mellons relative position in the group determined by percentile rank. The actual award payout is determined by
multiplying the target award by the performance factor percentage provided for Mellons percentile ranking. If the actual award exceeds the target award, additional shares are then issued within 45 days of the end of the performance
period. Employees who retire and are at least age 55 with five years of service receive a pro-rata award based upon the actual number of months worked during the performance period payable at the end of the period when other participants
are paid. In the event of a change in control of Mellon, as defined by the plan, the participants would be eligible for a pro-rata vesting based on the number of months worked in the performance period. The value of the TSR Performance shares was
determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the three-year performance period. The amount of compensation expense recognized related to TSR Performance share awards was
$3 million in 2006.

In addition to the TSR Performance shares, restricted stock has been granted to senior officers and other key employees under
Mellons Long-Term Profit Incentive Plan (2004). The vesting of these shares is primarily related to service and is expected to occur over a one-to-seven year period. In the

event of a change in control of Mellon, as defined in the plan, the restrictions on sale or transfer will immediately terminate.
Employees are generally prevented from selling or transferring restricted stock or deferred share awards for a three-year period, and generally the shares or units are forfeited if employment is terminated during that period. However, the
restrictions on some restricted shares will lapse upon the applicable employees retirement at age 55 or older with at least five years of employment. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), we recorded
$2 million pre-tax in 2006 related to employees that met the age and service requirements on the date of grant that are necessary to immediately vest in their stock upon retirement.

The total compensation expense recognized for restricted shares, including the TSR Performance shares, was $43 million in 2006, which included $11 million for Mellons former chairman and chief
executive officer, pursuant to his employment agreement. Expense of $26 million and $28 million was recognized in 2005 and 2004.

The following
table summarizes our nonvested restricted stock activity for 2006:

As of Dec. 31, 2006, $59 million of total unrecognized compensation
costs related to nonvested restricted stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.

Directors Equity
Plan (2006)

In April 2006, the Director Equity Plan (2006) was approved by the shareholders and replaced the Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors (2001). In contrast to the Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (2001), which was limited to stock options, the new Plan offers a variety of types of awards which may be used to provide equity compensation to outside directors. During
2006, 27,240 Deferred Share Units, with a fair market value of $37.43 per unit, were granted to outside directors under the Director Equity Plan (2006). Each Deferred Share Unit entitles the participant to receive a share of Mellons common
stock. The Deferred Share Units vest on the date of Mellons next annual meeting and are payable 30 days following the date the participants service on the Board terminates. As of Dec. 31, 2006, there was less than $1 million of
total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested Deferred Share Units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4 months. At Dec. 31, 2006, shares available for grant under the plan were 768,280.

Postretirement benefits other than pensions

Mellon
shares in the cost of providing managed care, Medicare supplement and/or major medical programs for former employees who retired prior to Jan. 1, 1991 and grandfathered employees who met certain age and service requirements as of Jan. 1,
1991. Former employees of Buck Consultants who retired prior to Jan. 1, 2001 and grandfathered employees who met certain age and service requirements as of Dec. 31, 2000 are eligible for both pre-65 and post-65 medical coverage based on
the cost sharing arrangements under the Buck plan as in effect on Dec. 31, 2000. Employees who retire prior to age 65 with 15 years of service who are not a part of either grandfathered group are eligible for a defined dollar supplement to
assist them in purchasing health insurance coverage under the same plans offered to active employees. When these non-grandfathered retirees reach age 65, they become responsible for their own Medicare supplemental coverage. The net periodic benefit
cost of providing these benefits, determined in accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, amounted to $7 million in 2006, $5 million in 2005 and
$7 million in 2004. Early retirees who do not meet the service requirement are eligible to purchase health coverage at their own

Discount rates of 5.75%, 6.00% and 6.25%, were used to calculate the 2006, 2005, and 2004 net periodic post
retirement benefit costs, and rates of 6.00% and 5.75% were used to value the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations (APBO) at year-end 2006 and 2005. A health care cost trend rate was used to recognize the effect of expected changes in
future health care costs due to medical inflation, utilization changes, technological changes, regulatory requirements and Medicare cost shifting. The future annual increase assumed in the cost of health care benefits was 9.25% for 2006 and was
decreased gradually to 4.75% for 2013 and thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption may have a significant impact on the amounts reported. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend by one percentage point in each year would increase
the APBO by approximately $6 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by less than $1 million. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend by one percentage
point each year would decrease the APBO by approximately $6 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by less than $1 million.

Effective May 2005, the HR sector of Mellon was sold to ACS. A curtailment gain was calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 106. In accordance with the sale
agreement, special provisions were established to recognize age and future service with ACS through Dec. 31, 2005, for the purpose of determining eligibility for postretirement medical

benefits under the Mellon Plan. As a result, a special termination benefit charge was also calculated in accordance with SFAS
No. 106.

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed into law, which introduced
a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Mellon
prescription drug plan is actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.

The following benefit payments for Mellons postretirement benefits other than
pension plans, which reflect expected future service as appropriate, are expected to be paid:

24. Restrictions on dividends and regulatory limitations

The prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank subsidiary in any calendar
year exceeds the bank subsidiarys net profits, as defined, for that year, combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years. Additionally, such bank subsidiaries may not declare dividends in excess of net profits on
hand, as defined, after deducting the amount by which the principal amount of all loans on which interest is past due for a period of six months or more exceeds the reserve for credit losses.

Under the first and currently more restrictive of the foregoing federal dividend limitations, Mellons national bank subsidiaries can, without prior regulatory
approval, declare dividends subsequent to Dec. 31, 2006, of up to approximately $85 million of their retained earnings of $1.703 billion at Dec. 31, 2006, less any dividends declared and plus or minus net profits or losses, as
defined, earned between Jan. 1, 2007, and the date of any such dividend declaration.

The payment of dividends also is limited by minimum capital
requirements imposed on banks. As of Dec. 31, 2006, Mellons bank subsidiaries exceed these minimum requirements. The bank subsidiaries declared dividends of $645 million in 2006, $675 million in 2005 and $466 million in 2004.
The Federal Reserve Board and the OCC have issued additional guidelines that require bank holding companies and national banks to continually evaluate the level of cash dividends in relation to their respective operating income, capital needs, asset
quality and overall financial condition.

The Federal Reserve Act limits extensions of credit by Mellons bank subsidiaries to our Parent Corporation
and all other subsidiaries of our Parent Corporation, and requires such extensions to be collateralized and limits the amount of investments by our bank subsidiaries in these entities. At Dec. 31, 2006, such extensions of credit and investments
were limited to $371 million to the Parent Corporation or any other subsidiaries and to $743 million in total to the Parent Corporation and all of its other subsidiaries. Outstanding extensions of credit net of collateral subject to these
limits were $227 million at Dec. 31, 2006.

25. Legal proceedings

Various legal actions and proceedings are pending or are threatened against Mellon and our subsidiaries and certain former subsidiaries, some of which seek relief or damages in amounts that are substantial. These
actions and proceedings arise in the ordinary course of our businesses and operations and include suits relating to our servicing, investment, mutual fund, advisory, trust, custody, shareholder services, working capital solutions, lending,
collections and other activities and operations. Certain actions and proceedings relate to businesses that have been divested. From time to time, Mellon may be involved in regulatory enforcement matters in which claims for disgorgement, the
imposition of penalties and/or other remedial sanctions are possible.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated Aug. 18, 2006, our bank subsidiary, Mellon Bank,
entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania that relates to the April 2001 incident in Mellons Pittsburgh IRS Processing Unit. Under the terms of the settlement, Mellon has
agreed to have an independent third party monitor compliance with the terms of the agreement for a three year period. No monetary penalties or fines were imposed by the agreement, although Mellon will reimburse the federal government for
$30 thousand of costs incurred by an outside vendor. If Mellon complies with the terms of the agreement, the U.S. Attorney will not prosecute Mellon. The agreement should not impair Mellons ability to serve as a long-standing government
contractor.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated Sept. 30, 2005, Mellon Investor Services LLC (MIS), our
transfer agent subsidiary, has received a Wells Notice from the Philadelphia District Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicating that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action
against MIS for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. A Wells Notice indicates that the SECs staff has made a preliminary decision to recommend that the SEC authorize the staff
to bring a civil action. However, a Wells Notice is not a formal allegation or proof of wrongdoing. The notice provides MIS the opportunity to respond formally to the SEC staff before the staff makes a final determination whether to recommend that
the SEC initiate an action.

The SEC staff has informed MIS that its recommendation relates to MIS disclosure practices to its transfer agency
(issuer) clients during the period 2001 through late 2004 concerning the receipt of fees from a search firm that performs in-depth searches for lost shareholders. Fees received by MIS from this firm during this period aggregate to
approximately $5 million. MIS believes that the SEC staff has been investigating related practices at other transfer agents. MIS has been cooperating fully with the SEC staff in its investigation and has made a submission explaining why it
believes that its conduct was lawful.

Because of the complex nature of some of these legal actions and proceedings, it may be a number of years before
such matters ultimately are resolved. After consultation with legal counsel, Mellons management believes that the aggregate liability, if any, resulting from such pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, although there could be a material effect on results of operations for a particular period.

26. Off-balance sheet financial instruments with contract amounts that represent credit risk

Off-balance sheet risk

In the normal course of business, Mellon becomes a party to various financial transactions that are not fully recorded on its balance sheet under GAAP. Because these
transactions are not funded, they are not reflected on the balance sheet and are referred to as financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. We offer off-balance sheet financial instruments to enable our customers to meet their financing
objectives and providing those instruments generates fee revenue for Mellon. These off-balance sheet instruments are subject to credit and market risk. We manage credit risk by:



| |  |  | dealing only with approved counterparties under specific credit limits; and by
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | monitoring the amount of outstanding contracts by customer and in the aggregate against such limits.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Counterparty limits are monitored on an ongoing basis. Market risk arises from changes in the market value of contracts as a result of the fluctuations in interest and
currency rates.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit

Mellon enters into contractual
commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination provisions, at specific rates and for specific purposes. The majority of our unfunded commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers meeting certain
pre-established conditions of lending at the time of loan funding and include material adverse change clauses within the commitment contracts. These clauses allow us to deny funding a loan commitment if the borrowers financial condition
deteriorates during the commitment period, such that the customer no longer meets the pre-established conditions of lending.

Mellons maximum
exposure to credit loss upon the occurrence of any event of default by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment to extend credit. Accordingly, the credit policies utilized in committing to extend credit and in the
extension of loans are the same. Market risk arises on commitments to extend fixed rate loans if interest rates have moved adversely subsequent to the extension of the commitment or if required market spreads widen. We believe the market risk
associated with commitments is minimal. The amount and type of collateral obtained by Mellon is based upon industry practice, as well as our credit assessment of the customer.

Of the $12 billion of contractual commitments for which we received a commitment fee or which were otherwise legally binding, approximately 33% of the commitments are scheduled to expire within one year, and
approximately 97% are scheduled to expire within five years. Total unfunded commitments to extend credit increased $27 million, or less than 1%, at Dec. 31, 2006 compared to Dec. 31, 2005. Unfunded commitments to extend credit
expiring over one year increased $311 million, or 4%, at Dec. 31, 2006, compared to Dec. 31, 2005, primarily resulting from a shift towards longer maturities of loan commitments. At Dec. 31, 2006, we had a $77 million
reserve for credit exposure to outstanding commitments.

Letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees

There are two principal types of letters of creditstandby and commercial. The off-balance sheet credit risk involved in issuing standby and commercial letters of
credit is represented by their contractual amounts and is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Mellon minimizes this risk by adhering to its written credit policies and by requiring security and
debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements. We believe the market risk associated with letters of credit and foreign guarantees is minimal.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees irrevocably obligate Mellon for a stated period to disburse funds to a
third-party beneficiary if our customer fails to perform under the terms of an agreement with the beneficiary. Standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees are used by the customer as a credit enhancement and typically expire without
being drawn upon. The amount and type of any collateral are based on industry practices, as well as a credit assessment of the customer.

Our outstanding
exposure to standby letters of credit at Dec. 31, 2006 was $1.5 billion, with approximately 85% maturing within three years. At Dec. 31, 2006, we had a $7 million reserve for credit exposure to outstanding letters of credit.

We must recognize, at the inception of standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
undertaken in issuing the guarantee. At Dec. 31, 2006, we had a liability of $8 million related to letters of credit issued or modified since Dec. 31, 2002. As required by FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, the fair value of the liability, which was recorded with a corresponding asset in other assets, was estimated as the present value
of contractual customer fees.

A commercial letter of credit is normally a short-term instrument used to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of
goods from a seller to a buyer. This type of letter of credit ensures prompt payment to the seller in accordance with the terms of the contract. Although the commercial letter of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, it
represents a credit exposure if the buyer defaults on the underlying transaction. Normally, reimbursement from the buyer is coincidental with payment to the seller under commercial letter of credit drawings. As a result, the total contractual
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Securities lending

A securities lending transaction is a fully collateralized transaction in which the owner of a security agrees to lend the security through an agent (Mellon) to a borrower, usually a broker/dealer or bank, on an open,
overnight or term basis, under the terms of a prearranged contract, which generally matures in less than 90 days. The borrower will collateralize the loan at all times, generally with cash, or to a lesser degree securities, exceeding 100% of
the market value of the loan, plus any accrued interest on debt obligations. Cash collateral is generally reinvested in commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market funds and floating rate instruments.

Mellon currently enters into two types of agency securities lending arrangementslending with and without indemnification. In securities lending transactions
without indemnification, we bear no contractual risk of loss other than due to negligence. For transactions in which we provide an indemnification, Mellon generally only indemnifies the owner of the securities against borrower default. If the
borrower defaults on returning the securities, our risk of loss occurs if the collateral, when received, is insufficient to purchase and replace securities from these defaulted loans. There were no counterparty default losses on security lending
transactions in 2006, 2005 and 2004. Additional market risk associated with securities lending transactions arises from interest rate movements that affect the spread between the rate paid to the securities borrower on the borrowers collateral
and the rate we earn on that collateral. This risk is controlled through policies that limit the level of such risk that can be undertaken.

Other
guarantees and indemnities

In the normal course of business, Mellon offers guarantees in support of certain joint ventures and subsidiaries, and
certain other guarantees and indemnities.

Mellon Bank, N.A. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (ABN AMRO) entered into a joint venture to provide global
securities services, with operations commencing in January 2003. Each of the two partners signed a statutory declaration under Dutch law to be jointly and severally liable with the joint venture to parties that have a provable contractual debt or
damage claim. The benefit of this declaration is potentially available to all creditors

and customers of the joint venture with valid legal claims if the joint venture defaults. The guarantee totaled approximately
$78 billion at Dec. 31, 2006 compared with $43 billion at Dec. 31, 2005, primarily related to securities lending activity. Agency securities lending represented $72 billion of this guarantee at Dec. 31, 2006, primarily
related to the indemnification of the owner of the securities against broker default. These securities lending transactions were collateralized primarily with cash and OECD government securities totaling $70 billion. The joint venture also
indemnifies $483 million of cash collateral reinvested in repurchase agreements for risk of market or credit loss. The potential exposure of this guarantee assumes that there is no capital or assets of the joint venture to satisfy such claims,
and that there is no level of contribution by ABN AMRO, which has an S&P 500 long-term credit rating of AA- and a Moodys senior debt rating of Aa3.

Mellon provides liquidity support and a letter of credit in support of TRFCs commercial paper. For a discussion of these arrangements, see Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements.

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

Following is a brief discussion of the instruments listed in the above table. The amount of credit risk associated
with these instruments results from mark-to-market gains and interest receivables and is calculated after considering master netting agreements, which are generally applicable to derivative instruments used for both trading activities and interest
rate risk management purposes. The credit risk for these instruments is reported in other assets on Mellons balance sheet. Market risk associated with these instruments arises from changes in the market value of contractual positions caused by
actual or anticipated movements in currency or interest rates and, for equity options, movements in the equity markets. We limit our exposure to market risk by generally entering into matching or offsetting positions and by establishing and
monitoring limits on unmatched

positions. There were no counterparty default losses on these instruments in 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency contracts

Commitments to purchase and sell foreign currency facilitate the management of market risk by ensuring that, at some future date, Mellon, or a customer, will have a specified currency at a specified rate. We enter into foreign currency
contracts to assist customers in managing their currency risk and as part of our trading activities. The notional amount does not represent the actual market or credit risk associated with this product. We manage credit risk by dealing only with
approved counterparties under specific credit limits and by monitoring outstanding contracts by customer and in the aggregate against such limits. The future cash requirements, if any, related to foreign currency contracts are represented by the net
contractual settlement between Mellon and its counterparties.

Foreign currency option contracts

Foreign currency option contracts grant the contract purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specified amount of a foreign currency during a
specified period at a predetermined exchange rate to a second currency. Mellon acts as both a purchaser and seller of foreign currency option contracts. Credit risk and future cash requirements are similar to those of foreign currency contracts.

Interest rate swaps

Interest rate swaps obligate two
parties to exchange one or more payments generally calculated with reference to fixed or periodically reset rates of interest applied to a specified notional principal amount. Notional principal is the amount upon which interest rates are applied to
determine the payment streams under interest rate swaps. Such notional principal amounts often are used to express the volume of these transactions but are not typically exchanged between the counterparties.

Mellon has entered into interest rate swaps to assist customers in managing their interest rate risk. We also use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk
management strategy primarily to alter the interest rate sensitivity of our long-term debt and certificate of deposit liabilities.

Credit risk is managed
through credit approval procedures that establish specific lines for individual counterparties and limit credit exposure to various portfolio segments. Counterparty and portfolio outstandings are monitored against such limits on an ongoing basis.
Mellon has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to interest rate swaps to further secure amounts due. The collateral is generally cash, U.S. government securities or mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by the
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). The future cash requirements of interest rate swaps are limited to the net amounts payable under these swaps. At Dec. 31, 2006, 67% of the notional principal amount of interest rate swaps used
for trading purposes were scheduled to mature in less than five years.

Options, caps and floors

An interest rate option is a contract that grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price
within a specified period of time. An interest rate cap is a contract that protects the holder from a rise in interest rates beyond a certain point. An interest rate floor is a contract that protects the holder against a decline in interest rates
below a certain point.

Futures and forward contracts

Futures and forward contracts on loans, securities or money market instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell a specified instrument at a specified price and date. Futures contracts are standardized and are traded on
organized exchanges, while forward contracts are traded in over-the-counter markets and generally do not have standardized terms.

For instruments that are
traded on an organized exchange, the exchange assumes the credit risk that a counterparty will not settle and generally requires a margin deposit of cash or securities as collateral to minimize potential credit risk. Mellon has established policies
governing which exchanges and

---

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



---

exchange members can be used to conduct these activities, as well as the number of contracts permitted with each member and the
total dollar amount of outstanding contracts. Credit risk related to futures contracts is substantially mitigated by daily cash settlements with the exchanges for the net change in the value of the futures contract. The future cash requirements, if
any, related to futures and forward contracts are represented by the net contractual settlement between Mellon and its counterparties.

Equity options

Equity option contracts grant the contract purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specified amount of equities during a
specified period at a predetermined price. We enter into equity options to assist customers in managing market risk associated with equity positions that they hold.

Credit default swaps

Credit default swaps allow the transfer of credit risk from one party to another for a fee.
These swaps are used to mitigate credit risk associated with commercial lending activities. Credit risk is managed by setting specific credit limits and by monitoring outstandings by counterparty and in the aggregate against such limits.

Total return swaps

A total return swap is a derivative contract
under which the total return (dividend/interest payments and any capital gains or losses) from a specified instrument or index is exchanged for a specified fixed or floating cash flow that is not related to the creditworthiness of the referenced
asset. We enter into total return swaps to minimize the risk related to investments in start-up mutual funds that are based on specific market indexes.

28.
Concentrations of credit risk

For a discussion of credit risk and the credit risk management process employed by Mellon, see the first five paragraphs
of Credit risk on page 37. These paragraphs are incorporated by reference into these Notes to Financial Statements.

The maximum risk of
accounting loss from on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments with counterparties is represented by their respective balance sheet amounts and the contractual or replacement cost of the off-balance sheet financial instruments. Significant
credit concentrations for Mellon at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005 were:



| |  |  | U.S. government and its agencies and U.S. government sponsored agencies. Substantially all of this exposure consists of investment securities, securities available
for sale and the related interest receivable and balances due from the Federal Reserve (see Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Financial institutions, which include finance-related companies; domestic and international banks and depository institutions; and securities and commodities
brokers. Our credit exposure to financial institutions includes interest-bearing deposits with banks and certain loans included on the balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet unfunded loan commitments. This exposure totaled approximately
$5 billion at Dec. 31, 2006.

29. Fair value of financial instruments

A financial instrument is defined by SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in
an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver to or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable terms.

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. SFAS No. 107 specifies that fair values should be calculated based on the value of
one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship
between various financial instruments. Because no readily available market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates for these instruments are based on judgments regarding



Mellon Financial Corporation    111



---

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



---

current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these
estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates cannot always be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may
not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates do not
include anticipated future business or the value of assets, liabilities and customer relationships that are not considered financial instruments. For example, our fee-generating businesses are not incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other
significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include lease finance assets, deferred tax assets, lease contracts, premises and equipment, and intangible assets.

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005.

Short-term financial instruments

The carrying amounts reported on
our balance sheet generally approximate fair value for financial instruments that reprice or mature in 90 days or less, with no significant change in credit risk. The carrying amounts approximate fair value for:



| |  |  | cash and due from banks;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | money market investments;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | acceptances;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | demand deposits;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | money market and other savings accounts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal funds purchased and securities under repurchase agreements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | U.S. Treasury tax and loan demand notes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | commercial paper;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | other funds borrowed; and
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | certain other assets and liabilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

Trading account securities, securities available for sale and investment securities

Trading account securities and
securities available for sale are recorded at market value on our balance sheet. Market values of trading account securities, securities available for sale and investment securities in many instances are based on quoted market prices or dealer
quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, market value is estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and interest rate characteristics. The tables in Note 6 of Notes to Financial
Statements present in greater detail the carrying value and market value of securities available for sale and investment securities at Dec. 31, 2006 and 2005.

Loans

The estimated fair value of commercial loans and certain personal loans that reprice or mature in 90 days or less approximates
their respective carrying amounts. The estimated fair value of loans that reprice or mature in more than 90 days is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, adjusting where appropriate for prepayment estimates, using interest rates
currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality and for similar maturities.

Deposit liabilities

SFAS No. 107 defines the estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes demand deposits and money market and other
savings accounts, to be the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid for depository institutions reflect an additional value for these low-cost deposits, SFAS No. 107 prohibits adjusting fair value for any value expected to be
derived from retaining those deposits for a future period of time or from the benefit that results from the ability to fund interest-earning assets with these deposit liabilities. The fair value of fixed-maturity deposits which reprice or mature in
more than 90 days is estimated using current rates.

Notes and debentures, and junior subordinated debentures

The fair value of our notes and debentures, and junior subordinated debentures is estimated using quoted market yields for the same or similar issues or the current yields offered by Mellon for debt with the same
remaining maturities.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees

These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and estimated fair values are not readily available. However, the fair value of commitments to extend credit
is represented by the remaining contractual fees receivable over the term of the commitments. The fair values of standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees is represented by the amount of the receivable on the balance sheet. Unfunded
commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees are discussed further in Note 26 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Derivative instruments used for trading and interest rate risk management purposes

Receivables and payables related
to derivative instruments are determined by using quoted market prices or valuation models that incorporate current market data.

Summary

The following table includes financial instruments, as defined by SFAS No. 107, whose estimated fair value is not represented by the carrying
value as reported on our balance sheet except for receivables and payables related to derivative instruments, which are presented in the table for supplementary information. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of unfunded commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit and foreign and other guarantees are not significant. We have made estimates of fair value discount rates that we believe to be reasonable considering expected prepayment rates, credit risk and liquidity
risk. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments, we have no basis to verify whether the resulting fair value estimates would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

30. Proposed merger with The Bank of New York Company, Inc.

On Dec. 3, 2006, Mellon entered into an agreement to merge with The Bank of New York Company, Inc., which would create an asset servicer with, on a pro forma basis, more than $17 trillion in assets under
custody and administration, $8 trillion in assets under corporate trusteeship and over $1.1 trillion in assets under management at Dec. 31, 2006. The Bank of New York is headquartered in New York City and employs approximately 23,000.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, a new company will be formed, to be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, in which Mellon shareholders
will receive one share of common stock for each share of Mellon common stock outstanding on the closing date and The Bank of New York shareholders will receive .9434 shares of common stock for each share of The Bank of New York common
stock outstanding on the closing date. The parties anticipate that the new company will record a restructuring charge of approximately $1.3 billion, pre-tax, a portion of which will be capitalized at the close of the transaction, with the
remaining incurred over a 3 year period.

Mellon has entered into a stock option agreement with The Bank of New York, in which Mellon has granted The
Bank of New York an option to purchase up to 82,641,656 shares of Mellon common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of $40.05 or the closing sale price of Mellon common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the exercise
date; but in no case may The Bank of New York acquire more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Mellon common stock under this stock option agreement. The Bank of New York cannot exercise the option unless specified triggering events occur. These
events generally relate to business combinations or acquisition transactions involving Mellon and a third party.

The option could have the effect of
discouraging a third party from trying to acquire Mellon prior to completion of the transaction or termination of the merger agreement. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, Mellon may be required to repurchase the option and/or any
shares of Mellon common stock purchased by The Bank of New York under the option at a predetermined price, or The Bank of New York may choose to surrender the option to Mellon for a cash payment of $725 million. In no event will the total profit
received by The Bank of New York with respect to this option exceed $825 million.

Mellon has entered into a stock option agreement with The Bank of
New York, in which The Bank of New York has granted Mellon an option to purchase up to 149,621,546 shares of The Bank of New Yorks common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of $35.48 or the closing sale price of The Bank of
New Yorks common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the exercise date; but in no case may Mellon acquire more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of The Bank of New Yorks common stock under this stock option agreement.

The option could have the effect of discouraging a third party from trying to acquire The Bank of New York prior to completion of the transaction or termination of the
merger agreement. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, The Bank of New York may be required to repurchase the option and/or any shares of The Bank of New Yorks common stock purchased by Mellon under the option at a predetermined
price, or Mellon may choose to surrender the option to The Bank of New York for a cash payment of $1.15 billion. In no event will the total profit received by Mellon with respect to this option exceed $1.3 billion.

The board of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the merger agreement and adopted a resolution recommending the adoption of the merger agreement by its
respective shareholders. Each party has agreed to put these matters before their respective shareholders for consideration. Subject to satisfaction of various conditions of closing, the merger is currently expected to close early in the third
quarter of 2007.

Foreign activity includes asset management and asset servicing fee revenue generating businesses, foreign exchange trading activity, loans and other
revenue producing assets and transactions in which the customer is domiciled outside of the United States and/or the foreign activity is resident at a foreign entity. We have approximately 2,800 employees at non-U.S. locations (excluding joint
ventures), principally in the United Kingdom and other European countries. Due to the nature of our foreign and domestic activities, it is not possible to precisely set apart the foreign and domestically

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Mellon Financial Corporation:

We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mellon Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Mellon Financial Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for employer defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans effective December 31, 2006, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Mellon
Financial Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 22, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.
