ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Description of Business

Mellon Bank Corporation (the "Corporation") is a multibank holding company
incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania in August 1971 and registered under
the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation
provides a comprehensive range of financial products and services in domestic
and selected international markets. The Corporation's banking subsidiaries are
located in the states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware and Maryland,
while other subsidiaries are located in key business centers throughout the
United States and abroad. At December 31, 1993, the Corporation was the
twenty-third largest bank holding company in the United States in terms of
assets.

The Corporation's principal wholly owned subsidiaries are Mellon Bank, N.A.
("Mellon Bank"), The Boston Company, Inc. ("TBC"), Mellon Bank (DE) National
Association, Mellon Bank (MD) and a number of companies known as Mellon
Financial Services Corporations. The Corporation's banking subsidiaries engage
in domestic retail banking, worldwide commercial banking, trust banking,
investment management and other financial services and various
securities-related activities.

Mellon Bank, which has its executive offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
became a subsidiary of the Corporation in November 1972. With its
predecessors, Mellon Bank has been in business since 1869. Mellon Bank is
comprised of six operating regions:

Mellon Bank-Western Region, which includes Mellon Bank's
Pittsburgh-based executive offices, serves consumer and small to
mid-sized commercial markets in western Pennsylvania, as well as
large commercial and financial institution markets throughout the
United States and selected international markets.

Mellon Bank-Central Region, headquartered in State College,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in central Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank-Commonwealth Region, headquartered in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in south central Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank-Northern Region, headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania,
serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial markets in
northwestern Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank - Northeastern Region, headquartered in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Mellon PSFS, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serves
consumer and small commercial markets in eastern Pennsylvania and
mid-sized commercial customers in eastern Pennsylvania and portions
of New Jersey.

On December 21, 1993, the Corporation completed its acquisition of
AFCO Credit Corporation (AFCO) and CAFO, Inc. AFCO is headquartered
in New York, New York, while CAFO is headquartered in Toronto,
Canada. These companies provide property and casualty insurance
premium financing to small, mid-size and large companies. AFCO is a
subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A. CAFO is a subsidiary of Mellon Bank
Canada.

TBC, through Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company and other subsidiaries,
engages in the business of mutual fund administration, institutional trust and
custody, institutional asset management and private banking services. TBC is
headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

Description of Business (continued)

Mellon Bank (DE) National Association, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware,
serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial markets throughout Delaware,
and provides nationwide cardholder processing services. Mellon Bank (MD) is
headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and serves consumer and small to
mid-sized commercial markets throughout Maryland. Mellon Bank (MD) has a
Maryland state charter and is a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The Corporation's banking subsidiaries operate 631 domestic retail banking
locations, including 432 branch offices. The deposits of the national banking
subsidiaries, Boston Safe Deposit and Trust and Mellon Bank (MD) are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to the extent provided by
law.

Other subsidiaries of the Corporation provide a broad range of bank-related
services -- including commercial financial services, equipment leasing,
residential real estate loan financing, commercial loan financing, stock
transfer services, cash management, mortgage servicing, numerous trust and
investment management services and real estate investment management services.
The types of financial products and services offered by the Corporation's
subsidiaries are subject to ongoing change.

For analytical purposes, management has focused the Corporation into four
business sectors: Wholesale Banking, Retail Financial Services and Service
Products, which comprise the core business sectors, and Real Estate Banking.
Further information regarding the Corporation's designated business sectors is
presented in the Business Sectors section on pages 20 through 22 of the
Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders, which pages are incorporated
herein by reference. A brief discussion of the business sectors is presented
below. There is considerable interrelationship among these sectors.

Wholesale Banking

The Corporation provides lending and other wholesale banking
services to domestic and selected international markets through its
Corporate Banking, Capital Markets and Leasing departments. These
markets generally include large domestic commercial and industrial
customers, U.S. operations of foreign companies, multinational
corporations and various financial institutions--including banks,
securities broker/dealers, insurance companies, finance companies
and mutual funds. The Corporation also offers corporate finance and
rate/risk management products; syndicates, participates out and
sells loans; offers a variety of capital markets products and
services, including private placements and money market and foreign
exchange transactions; and provides equipment leasing, financing and
lease advisory services. The Corporation maintains foreign offices
in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Toronto, and Grand Cayman, British West
Indies. Through these offices, the Corporation conducts trade
finance activities, engages in correspondent banking, provides
corporate banking and capital markets services, and engages in
funding and trading activities.

As part of the Corporation's Wholesale Banking sector, Middle Market
Banking serves companies in the Central Atlantic region with annual
sales between $10 million and $250 million and provides specialized
lending expertise to state and local governments in its regional
markets and health care on a national basis. It also operates a
nationwide asset-based lending division which provides secured
lending, principally through accounts receivable and inventory
financing. The Middle Market Banking department sells the
Corporation's full complement of banking products and services to
its customers.

Retail Financial Services

Retail financial products and services are offered through the
Corporation's banking subsidiaries in the Central Atlantic region.

Description of Business (continued)

Retail Financial Services

This banking network provides a full range of products to
individuals and small businesses including short and long-term
credit facilities, mortgages, credit cards, investment products,
checking, savings, and time deposits, money market accounts, money
transfer, safe deposit facilities, access to automated teller
machines and cash management services. These services are delivered
through a combination of the Corporation's 402 branch offices, 29
supermarket facilities, 586 ATMs, 7 loan sales offices and a
telephone banking center.

Service Products

The Corporation offers a number of service products through its
various subsidiaries. These fee-based businesses generally are not
as asset or capital intensive as are the Wholesale and Retail
Financial Services sectors.

The Corporation's subsidiaries provide a wide variety of trust and
investment management services operating under the umbrella name
"Mellon Trust". These include corporate trust, master trust,
personal trust, investment-related services, mutual fund
administration, custody and account administration services. The
Corporation also owns a number of subsidiaries that provide a
variety of active and passive equity and fixed income investment
management services, including management of international
securities and real estate assets; security transfer agency
services; and accounting and processing related services. Through
these functions, the Corporation serves the employee benefit,
institutional and individual markets.

On May 21, 1993, the Corporation completed its acquisition of TBC.
The Corporation now ranks among the largest national competitors in
each of these major trust and investment businesses: mutual fund
administration; institutional trust and custody; institutional asset
management; and private banking management. In December 1993, the
Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to merge with The
Dreyfus Corporation (Dreyfus). Completion of the merger is subject
to the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation and Dreyfus,
various regulatory approvals and certain approvals by the
shareholders of the mutual funds advised by Dreyfus. Upon
completion of the merger with Dreyfus, the Corporation expects to
substantially increase its trust and investment management fee
revenue and become the largest bank manager of mutual funds.
Further information regarding these transactions is presented in the
Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders in the Significant
events in 1993 section on page 19 and in note 21 of Notes to
Financial Statements on pages 71 and 72, which portions are
incorporated herein by reference.

The Global Cash Management department provides a broad range of cash
management services, including check collections and disbursements,
remittance processing, electronic funds transfer services,
information reporting and automated investment services.

Also included in the service products sector are the core servicing
functions of the Corporation's mortgage banking operations, located
in Houston, Denver and Cleveland, through which the Corporation
originates and services residential and commercial mortgages for
institutional investors and makes residential mortgage loans.

Real Estate Banking

Real estate banking consists of the Corporation's commercial real
estate lending activities, through which it originates financing for
residential, commercial, multifamily and other projects.

Description of Business (continued)

The 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders summarizes principal locations and
operating entities on pages 78 through 80, which pages are incorporated herein
by reference. Exhibit 21.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents a list
of the subsidiaries of the Corporation as of December 31, 1993.


Supervision and Regulation

The Corporation, as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board"). Generally, the Act limits the business of bank holding companies to
banking, managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing activities
for subsidiaries, and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve
Board may determine to be closely related to banking and a proper incident
thereto. Certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries are themselves bank holding
companies under the Act.

The Corporation's national banking subsidiaries are subject to primary
supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the "OCC"); Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company ("BSDT") is subject
to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Massachusetts Office of the Commissioner of
Banks; and Mellon Bank (MD) is subject to supervision, regulation and
examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the State of Maryland. Mellon
Securities Trust Company and Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company of New York
are New York trust companies and are supervised by the New York State
Department of Banking. Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company of California is
a California trust company and is supervised by the State of California Banking
Department.

The Corporation's securities-related subsidiaries are regulated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). InvestNet, a subsidiary
of the Corporation, conducts a brokerage operation and Mellon Investment
Products Company, a subsidiary of Mellon Bank, engages in the sale, as agent,
of certain mutual fund and unit investment trust products. Both InvestNet and
Mellon Investment Products Company are registered broker/dealers and members of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a securities industry
self-regulatory organization.

Certain subsidiaries of the Corporation are registered investment advisers
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and, as such, are supervised by the
SEC. Certain of the Corporation's public finance activities are regulated by
the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. Mellon Bank and certain of the
Corporation's other subsidiaries are registered with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") as commodity pool operators or commodity
trading advisors and, as such, are subject to CFTC regulation.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to an extensive scheme of
banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of
the customers and depositors of the Corporation's subsidiaries rather than
holders of the Corporation's securities. These laws and regulations govern
such areas as permissible activities, loans and investments, rates of interest
that can be charged on loans and reserves. The Corporation and its
subsidiaries also are subject to general U.S. federal laws and regulations and
to the laws and regulations of the states or countries in which they conduct
their business. Set forth below are brief descriptions of selected laws and
regulations applicable to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Pennsylvania legislation authorizes bank holding companies in any state to
acquire Pennsylvania banks or bank holding companies provided that Pennsylvania
bank holding companies enjoy reciprocal privileges in those jurisdictions.
Most states outside the Southeast currently have such reciprocal laws. As a
result, the Corporation can acquire banks in any state which has a reciprocal
law.

There are certain restrictions on the ability of the Corporation and certain of
its non-bank affiliates to borrow from, and engage in other transactions with,
its banking subsidiaries and on the ability of such banking subsidiaries to pay
dividends to the Corporation. These restrictions are discussed in note 16 of
the Notes to Financial Statements on page 62 of the Corporation's 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders. This note is incorporated herein by reference.

Supervision and Regulation (continued)

The OCC has authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to
prohibit national banks from engaging in any activity which, in the OCC's
opinion, constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their
businesses. The Federal Reserve Board has similar authority with respect to
the Corporation, its Maryland banking subsidiary and its non-bank subsidiaries,
including Mellon Securities Trust Company, a member of the Federal Reserve
System. The FDIC has similar authority with respect to BSDT.

The deposits of each of the banking subsidiaries are insured up to applicable
limits by the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain
the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based
assessment system to replace the previous flat-rate system. The risk-based
system imposes insurance premiums based upon a matrix that takes into account a
bank's capital level and supervisory rating. Under this risk-based system, the
assessment rate imposed on banks ranges from 23 cents for each $100 of domestic
deposits for the healthiest institutions to 31 cents for each $100 of domestic
deposits for the weakest institutions.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA")
contains a "cross-guarantee" provision which could result in any insured
depository institution owned by the Corporation being assessed for losses
incurred by the FDIC in connection with assistance provided to, or the failure
of, any other depository institution owned by the Corporation. Also, under
Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation may be expected to act as a
source of financial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries and to commit
resources to support each such bank in circumstances where such bank might not
be in a financial position to support itself.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to several
other federal banking statutes. Among other things, federal banking regulators
are required to take prompt corrective action in respect of depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA identifies
the following capital tiers for financial institutions: well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized.

Rules adopted by the federal banking agencies under FDICIA provide that an
institution is deemed to be: "well capitalized" if the institution has a Total
risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based ratio of 6.0%
or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and the institution is not
subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective
action directive to meet and maintain a specific level for any capital measure;
"adequately capitalized" if the institution has a Total risk-based capital
ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater,
and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0% or greater
if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of
examination, subject to appropriate Federal banking agency guidelines), and the
institution does not meet the definition of a well capitalized institution;
"undercapitalized" if the institution has a Total risk-based capital ratio that
is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or
a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than
3.0% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of
examination, subject to appropriate Federal banking agency guidelines) and the
institution does not meet the definition of a significantly undercapitalized or
critically undercapitalized institution; "significantly undercapitalized" if
the institution has a Total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a
Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio
that is less than 3.0% and the institution does not meet the definition of a
critically undercapitalized institution; and "critically undercapitalized" if
the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to
or less than 2.0%. FDICIA imposes progressively more restrictive constraints
on operations, management and capital distributions, depending on the capital
category in which an institution is classified.

At December 31, 1993, the Corporation and all of the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries fell into the well capitalized category based on the ratios and
guidelines noted above.

The appropriate Federal banking agency may, under certain circumstances,
reclassify a well capitalized insured depository institution as adequately
capitalized. The appropriate agency is also permitted to require an adequately





8
9
Supervision and Regulation (continued)

capitalized or undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory
provisions as if the institution were in the next lower category (but not treat
a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized)
based on supervisory information other than the capital levels of the
institution.

The statute provides that an institution may be reclassified if the appropriate
Federal banking agency determines (after notice and opportunity for hearing)
that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or deems the
institution to be engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.

Legislation enacted in August 1993 provides that deposits and certain claims
for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured
depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general
unsecured claims against such an institution in the "liquidation or other
resolution" of such an institution by any receiver.

During 1993, regulatory guidelines were adopted, and legislation was proposed
in Congress, to address concerns regarding retail sales by banks of various
nondeposit investment products, including mutual funds. Legislative and
regulatory attention to these matters is likely to continue, and may intensify,
in the future. Although existing statutory and regulatory requirements in this
regard have not had a significant effect on the Corporation's business, there
can be no assurance that future requirements will not have such an effect on
the Corporation's business, as currently conducted or as proposed to be
conducted after the proposed merger with The Dreyfus Corporation. Various
other legislation, including proposals to restructure the banking regulatory
system, provide for nationwide interstate banking and to limit the investments
that a depository institution may make with insured funds, are from time to
time introduced in Congress. The Corporation cannot determine the ultimate
effect that any such potential legislation, if enacted, would have upon its
financial condition or operations.


Competition

The Corporation and its subsidiaries continue to be subject to intense
competition in all aspects and areas of their businesses from banks; other
domestic and foreign financial institutions, such as savings and loan
associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions; and other
providers of financial services, such as money market funds, brokerage firms,
investment companies, credit companies and insurance companies. The
Corporation also competes with nonfinancial institutions, including retail
stores and manufacturers of consumer products that maintain their own credit
programs, as well as governmental agencies that make available loans to certain
borrowers. Also, in the Service Products business sector, the Corporation
competes with a wide range of technologically capable service providers.

In terms of domestic deposits, Mellon Bank is the largest commercial banking
institution in Pennsylvania where it competes with approximately 260 commercial
banks, 140 thrifts and numerous credit unions and consumer finance
institutions. Mellon Bank competes with approximately 30 commercial banks and
40 thrifts in the six-county Pittsburgh area of Western Pennsylvania. Mellon
Bank competes with approximately 45 commercial banks and 50 thrifts in the
five-county Philadelphia area, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the
United States. In most of the markets in which the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries operate, they compete with large regional and other banking
organizations in making commercial, industrial and consumer loans, and in
providing products and services.

Competition has continued to increase in recent years in many areas in which
the Corporation and its subsidiaries operate, in substantial part because other
types of financial institutions and other entities are increasingly engaging in
activities traditionally engaged in by commercial banks. Commercial banks face
significant competition in acquiring quality assets due to such factors as the
increase in commercial paper and long-term debt issued by industrial companies,
increased activities by foreign banks and credit unions, and the increased
lending powers granted to and





9
10
Competition (continued)

employed by many types of thrift institutions and credit unions. Commercial
banks also face competition in attracting deposits at reasonable prices due to
the activities of money market funds; increased activities of non-bank deposit
takers, including brokerage firms; alternatives presented by foreign banks; and
the increased availability of demand deposit type accounts at thrift
institutions and credit unions. Unlike the Corporation, many of these
competitors, with the particular exception of thrift institutions, are not
subject to regulation as extensive as that described under the "Supervision and
Regulation" section and, as a result, they may have a competitive advantage
over the Corporation in certain respects.


Employees

The Corporation and its subsidiaries had approximately 21,400 full-time
equivalent employees in December 1993.

IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The Corporation employs various estimation techniques in developing
the credit loss reserve. Management reviews the specific
circumstances of individual loans subject to more than the customary
potential for exposure to loss. In establishing the level of the
reserve, management also identifies market concentrations, changing
business trends, industry risks and general economic conditions that
may adversely affect loan collectibility. In addition, management
assesses volatile factors such as interest rates and real estate
market conditions that may significantly alter loss potential. Based
on this evaluation, management believes that the credit loss reserve
is adequate to absorb future losses inherent in the portfolio.

The reserve is not specifically associated with individual loans or
portfolio segments. Thus, the reserve is available to absorb credit
losses arising from any individual loan or portfolio segment. When
losses on specific loans are identified, management charges off the
portion deemed uncollectible. In view of the fungible nature of the
reserve and management's practice of charging off known losses, the
Corporation does not maintain truly specific reserves on any loan.
However, management has developed a loan loss reserve methodology
designed to provide procedural discipline in assessing the adequacy of
the reserve. The allocation of the Corporation's reserve for credit
losses presented below is based on this loan loss reserve methodology.

additional information on the Corporation's premises and equipment, see note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements on page 52 of the Corporation's 1993 Annual
Report, which note is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various legal actions and proceedings are pending or are threatened against the
Corporation and its subsidiaries, some of which seek relief or damages in
amounts that are substantial. These actions and proceedings arise in the
ordinary course of the Corporation's businesses and include suits relating to
its lending, collections, servicing, investments and trust activities. Due to
the complex nature of some of these actions and proceedings, it may be a number
of years before such matters ultimately are resolved. After consultation with
legal counsel, management believes that the aggregate liability, if any,
resulting from such pending and threatened actions and proceedings will not
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition.

On February 12, 1991, a jury in Colorado rendered a verdict in a lender
liability lawsuit in which the Corporation is one of the defendants. The jury
awarded actual damages of $42 million and punitive damages of $23 million in
favor of the plaintiffs. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs contended that the
Corporation breached certain obligations and failed to disclose certain
information in connection with its lending relationships with the plaintiffs.
On June 6, 1991, a district judge in Colorado entered a judgment reducing the
award to $16 million in actual damages, plus interest, and $12 million in
punitive damages. On January 27, 1994, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed
the judgment for plaintiffs for compensatory damages in the reduced amount of
$5.36 million, plus interest since November 1, 1989, and vacated the judgment
for punitive damages and remanded to the trial court with the direction to
reconsider the amount, if any, of punitive damages. By Colorado law, the
amount of punitive damages cannot exceed the amount of the compensatory
damages. The Corporation intends to petition the Colorado Court of Appeals for
rehearing and it is possible that the other parties may also appeal. Because
of the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution, no provision has been made in
the financial statements for this matter.

On August 7, 1992, a judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania entered a judgment ordering Mellon Bank to reimburse
certain of its trust customers the amount of sweep fees which were charged





18
19
Legal Proceedings (continued)

to their trust accounts since 1981, plus interest. In this class-action
proceeding, the plaintiffs claimed that Mellon Bank, and other banks, breached
their fiduciary duties with regard to the provision of sweep services, alleging
that the banks charged unreasonable fees, failed to disclose fully their fees
for sweep services and wrongfully invested sweep funds in internal or
affiliated accounts or investment vehicles. The court found that the total
amount of sweep fees collected by Mellon Bank since 1981 for both fiduciary and
non-fiduciary accounts was approximately $55 million. On May 18, 1993, the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the judgment entered by the district
court and remanded the case for dismissal. On June 18, 1993, the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals denied plaintiff's Petition for Rehearing. The district court
ordered the case dismissed on July 6, 1993. On September 13, 1993, the
plaintiffs petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari,
and on November 8, 1993, the Supreme Court denied this petition.

On July 28, 1993, a second lawsuit arising out of Mellon Bank's sweep fees
practices was filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania against Mellon Bank and its directors. On August 30,
1993, a third lawsuit, similar to the second, was filed in the same court and
was consolidated with the second. On December 16, 1993, these suits also were
dismissed. Plaintiffs initially appealed this dismissal but the appeals have
been withdrawn.

On September 10, 1993, the Corporation filed complaints in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against four financial
services companies. The complaints involved claims arising from the breach of
the contract under which the Corporation purchased The Boston Company, as well
as violations of other obligations to the Corporation. The claims related to
administration services the Corporation provides to a family of mutual funds
then known as the Smith Barney Shearson Funds. The defendant companies were:
Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated (Smith Barney); its parent
organization, Primerica Corporation (now The Travelers Inc.); Lehman Brothers
Inc. (formerly Shearson Lehman Brothers); and its parent organization,
American Express Company. The Corporation's mutual funds administration
services are provided through The Boston Company.

In its complaint against Smith Barney and Primerica (which purchased Shearson's
mutual fund and brokerage businesses in 1993), the Corporation asserted that,
despite expressly agreeing that they were bound by, and would comply with, the
terms and provisions of the contract between Shearson and the Corporation,
Smith Barney and Primerica violated that contract. The Corporation sought
money damages against each of the defendants and further sought a court order
requiring that Smith Barney and Primerica cease their unlawful conduct and
honor the contract between the Corporation and Shearson.

A hearing was held in November 1993. As a result, the Corporation was granted
injunctive relief preventing Smith Barney, for a period of seven years, from
competing with Mellon in providing administration services to funds in the
Smith Barney Shearson family, other than Smith Barney funds that existed prior
to Smith Barney's March 12, 1993, agreement to purchase Shearson Lehman
Brothers' mutual fund and brokerage businesses. The injunction covered all new
funds created or underwritten by Smith Barney, however named, after March 12,
1993, and obligated Smith Barney to recommend Mellon as the provider of
administration services.

Effective January 1, 1994, Mellon and Smith Barney Shearson Inc. settled their
litigation. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, which will remain in
effect through May 2000, the companies will work together to provide
administration services to certain funds affiliated with Smith Barney. Smith
Barney will seek to be appointed administrator for certain of its affiliated
funds, in addition to its current roles as investment advisor and distributor.
Smith Barney would, in turn, enter into sub-administration agreements with
Mellon for certain administration services.

Incorporated in the settlement agreement are certain Smith Barney Shearson
funds that existed prior to Smith Barney's March 12, 1993, agreement to
purchase Shearson Lehman Brothers' mutual fund and brokerage businesses, as
well as certain Smith Barney Shearson sponsored funds covered by the above
injunction. In connection with such settlement, actions against all defendants
were dismissed.

Subsequent to the announcement of the proposed merger with Dreyfus described in
Item 1 above, plaintiffs who claim to be shareholders of Dreyfus commenced six
purported class action suits in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,





19
20
Legal Proceedings (continued)

County of New York, naming Dreyfus, the individual directors of Dreyfus and (in
two of the cases) the Corporation as defendants. In these complaints, the
plaintiffs, among other things, object to the terms of the proposed merger and
seek injunctive relief against its consummation, as well as compensatory and
punitive damages. The Corporation believes that these complaints lack merit
and intends to defend them vigorously.

PART II


ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The information required by this Item is set forth in the Financial Section of
the Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders in Liquidity and Dividends
on pages 28 and 29, in Selected Quarterly Data on page 42, in note 16 of Notes
to Financial Statements on page 62 and in Corporate Information on page 84,
which portions are incorporated herein by reference.

In August 1989, the Corporation adopted a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan
under which each shareholder receives one Right for each share of common stock
or Series D Junior Preferred Stock of the Corporation (together, the "voting
stock") held. The Rights are currently represented by the certificates for,
and trade only with, the voting stock. The Rights would separate from the
voting stock and become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20
percent or more of the voting power of the voting stock or ten days after a
person or group commences a tender offer that would result in ownership of 20
percent or more of such voting power. At that time, each Right would entitle
the holder to purchase for $200 (the "exercise price") one one-hundredth of a
share of participating preferred stock. Each share of such preferred stock
would be entitled to cumulative dividends equal to 1 percent per annum, plus
the amount of dividends that would be payable on 100 shares of the
Corporation's common stock, and would have a liquidation preference of the
greater of 100 times the exercise price or the amount to be distributed in
liquidation to a holder of 100 shares of the Corporation's common stock.
Should a person or group actually acquire 20 percent or more of the voting
power of the voting stock, each Right held by the acquiring person or group (or
their transferees) would become void and each Right held by the Corporation's
other shareholders would entitle those holders to purchase for the exercise
price a number of shares of the Corporation's common stock having a market
value of twice the exercise price. Should the Corporation be involved in a
merger or similar transaction with a 20 percent owner or sell more than 50
percent of its assets or assets generating more than 50 percent of its
operating income or cash flow to any person or group, each outstanding Right
would then entitle its holder to purchase for the exercise price a number of
shares of such other company having a market value of twice the exercise price.
In addition, if any person or group acquires between 20 percent and 50 percent
of the voting power of the voting stock, the Corporation may, at its option,
exchange one share of common stock for each outstanding Right. The Rights are
not exercisable until the above events occur and will expire on August 15, 1999
unless earlier exchanged or redeemed by the Corporation. The Corporation may
redeem the Rights for $.01 per Right under certain circumstances. The
distribution of the Rights was not a taxable event.
