Cautionary Statement

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to future results of the Corporation that are considered “forward-looking statements.” These statements, which may be expressed in a variety of ways, including the use of future or present tense language, relate to, among other things: credit exposure reserve appropriateness; simulation of changes in interest rates; litigation results; intentions as to referrals to Three Rivers Funding Corp.; intentions as to capital ratios of banking subsidiaries and minimum tangible shareholders’ equity to assets ratio; reclassification of items to interest expense; expected amortization expense; the Corporation’s liquidity management objective; amounts of contingent consideration payable for acquisitions; the impact on investment management fees of changes in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index; potential future venture capital losses; expected increases in medical and other benefits expense and insurance expense; levels of and possible reductions in pension credits; lower assumptions for the expected return on pension plan assets and the discount rate on plan liabilities and sensitivities to changes in those rates; the impact of expensing stock options; expected expenditures for streamlining and other charges; availability of internal capital generation; the potential impact on revenue of the Corporation’s stated intention to reduce credit availability to the corporate and institutional marketplace; and the value-at-risk for trading activities. 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, changes in political and economic conditions; competitive product and pricing pressures within the Corporation’s markets; equity and fixed-income market fluctuations; the effects of the adoption of new accounting standards; personal and corporate customers’ bankruptcies; inflation; acquisitions and integrations of acquired businesses; technological change; changes in law; changes in fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade and tax policies and laws; monetary fluctuations; success in gaining regulatory approvals when required; success in the timely development of new products and services; interest rate fluctuations; consumer spending and saving habits; the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process; the effects of recent and any further terrorist acts and the results of the war on terrorism; as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods have been included.
 
Note 2—Acquisitions and dispositions
 
The Corporation completed three acquisitions during the third quarter of 2002 with total initial cash consideration of $49 million. During the first nine months of 2002, six acquisitions were completed with total initial consideration of $396 million. The Corporation records contingent purchase payments when amounts are resolved and become issuable. The Corporation is potentially obligated for contingent additional consideration of a minimum expected amount of approximately $20 million to a maximum expected amount of approximately $150 million for these acquisitions, over the next four years, depending on the performance of the acquired companies. These acquisitions added approximately $3 billion to assets under management.
 
At Sept. 30, 2002, the Corporation was potentially obligated for contingent additional consideration of a minimum expected amount of approximately $75 million to a maximum expected amount of approximately $205 million for all acquisitions, over the next four years, depending on the performance of the acquired companies. The Corporation has not made any payments in the third quarter or first nine months of 2002 for contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years.
 
Note 3—Adoption of new accounting standards
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Statement No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet in order to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Statement No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives continue to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Statement No. 144 was issued in August 2001 and became effective Jan. 1, 2002. Statement No. 144 requires that an impairment loss must be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its undiscounted identifiable cash flows. Any impairment loss must be measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. A long-lived asset to be disposed of by sale must be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation must cease when the disposal plan is established. For a long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale, the depreciable life of the asset must be revised in accordance with APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes.”

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 3—Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)
 
The Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement No. 141 as of July 1, 2001, and Statement No. 142 as of Jan. 1, 2002. Except for the 1994 merger with Dreyfus, which was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method, the Corporation had been required to account for business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001, were amortized through the end of 2001 and tested for impairment in accordance with pre-Statement No. 142 and No. 144 accounting requirements. For acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001, goodwill is not amortized. Statement No. 141 requires, upon adoption of Statement No. 142, that the Corporation evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in Statement No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of Statement No. 142, the Corporation was also required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first quarter of 2002. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset was identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Corporation was required to test the intangible asset for impairment within the first quarter of 2002. No such reclassifications, amortization period adjustments, or impairment adjustments were necessary.
 
In connection with Statement No. 142’s transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, the Statement required that the Corporation perform an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, the Corporation identified its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired. As required by FAS No. 142, initial testing for goodwill impairment was completed by June 30, 2002, and it was determined that no adjustments for impairment were needed.

During the third quarter of 2002, the gross carrying amount of intangible assets subject to amortization increased by $17 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 7 years. Approximately $11 million, with a weighted-average amortization of 10 years was assigned to the customer base intangible

and $6 million, with a weighted-average amortization period of 2 years was assigned to other intangibles as a result of the August 2002 acquisition of the Henderson Private Asset Management business, discussed further on page 21. In addition, during the quarter, $10 million of intangibles was assigned to the customer base intangible with an indefinite life as a result of the July 2002 HBV Capital acquisition, discussed further on page 21. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense totaled $3 million, $4 million and $2 million, in the third quarter of 2002, second quarter of 2002, and the third quarter of 2001, respectively, and $10 million and $5 million in the first nine months of 2002 and the first nine months of 2001, respectively. Based upon the current level of intangible assets, the annual amortization expense for the years 2002 through 2007 is expected to be approximately $14 million, $17 million, $16 million, $13 million, $12 million and $12 million, respectively. For the full-year 2002, using common shares and equivalents outstanding at Sept. 30, 2002, the after-tax impact of the annual amortization expense is expected to be approximately $12 million, or approximately $.03 per share. The after-tax impact of the annual amortization expense for the years 2003 through 2007 is expected to be approximately $14 million, $14 million, $11 million, $11 million and $11 million, respectively.

The increase in goodwill was primarily due to the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network, which was assigned to the Human Resources Services sector, the May 2002 acquisition of the remaining 5% interest in Newton Management Limited and the July 2002 acquisition of HBV Capital Management, both of which are included in the Institutional Asset Management sector and the August 2002 acquisition of Weber Fulton & Felman, an investment management firm, which is included in the Private Wealth Management sector. For additional details of the business sectors, see pages 36 through 51. No charges for goodwill impairment were recognized in the first nine months of 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 4—Discontinued operations
 
As a result of several disposition transactions discussed below, the Corporation exited all lines of business serving two defined major classes of customers—retail consumer and small business/middle market customers. Following the dispositions, the Corporation’s remaining lines of business serve two defined major classes of customers—high net worth individuals/families and large institutional customers.
 
Reflected as discontinued operations throughout the Corporation’s financial statements are the results of regional consumer banking, small business banking, and certain middle market banking operations, which were sold to Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (Citizens) in December 2001; the Mellon Leasing Corporation businesses that served mid-sized corporations and vendors of small ticket equipment, and Mellon Business Credit, which were sold in June 2001; Dreyfus Brokerage Services which served retail consumers nationally, which was sold in January 2002; the Corporation’s jumbo mortgage business which served consumers nationally, which was sold in part to Citizens and the balance disposed of through portfolio sales and securitizations; and the disposition in December 2001 of loans and loan commitments to middle market companies not sold to Citizens.
 
Because the lines of business included in discontinued operations were discrete lines of business serving classes of customers the Corporation’s continuing lines of business do not serve, the disposition of these businesses has no material impact on continuing operations going forward.
 
In accordance with GAAP, earnings, assets and liabilities of discontinued businesses are shown separately in the income statement and balance sheet, respectively, for all periods presented. Accordingly, all information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including all supplemental information, reflects continuing operations unless otherwise noted. During the third quarter of 2002, the Corporation completed the conversion of customer deposit accounts and loans to Citizens. The Corporation had been administering these accounts under a transitional service agreement until Citizens was able to convert these accounts to its systems. This was the final step of a transition process that began following the December 2001 sale. As of Sept. 30, 2002, there were no remaining assets or liabilities in discontinued operations.
 
The after-tax gain of $5 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $2 million in the second quarter of 2002 primarily resulted from the resolution of sale-related issues that were uncertain at the time of the dispositions. In the first quarter of 2002, the Corporation recorded an additional $3 million after-tax net gain on the Citizens transaction, which primarily resulted from subsequent price adjustments. The $101 million after-tax net loss in the first nine months of 2001 resulted from the sale of the Mellon Leasing Corporation businesses that served mid-sized and small-ticket leasing businesses, and Mellon Business Credit.

Mutual Funds consists of all the activities associated with the Dreyfus/Founders complex of mutual funds. Private Wealth Management consists of investment management, wealth management and private banking services for affluent individuals, including the activities of Mellon United National Bank in Florida. Asset Servicing includes institutional trust and custody, foreign exchange, securities lending, back office outsourcing for investment managers, and substantially all of the Corporation’s joint ventures. Human Resources Services includes benefits consulting and outsourcing services that utilize technology to provide administrative services for employee benefit plans, and investor services such as shareholder and securities transfer services. Treasury Services includes global cash management, large corporate relationship banking, insurance premium financing, commercial real estate lending, corporate finance and derivative products, securities underwriting and trading, international banking and the activities of Mellon 1st Business Bank in California.

Acquisition of HBV Capital Management
 
In July 2002, the Corporation acquired HBV Capital Management LLC, a New York- and London-based investment management company specializing in single-manager hedge funds. This acquisition added approximately $530 million to the Corporation’s assets under management. The transaction was an all cash deal, with initial consideration due at closing and further consideration contingent on HBV’s future performance. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Acquisition of Henderson Global Investors’ private clients and charities asset management business
 
In August 2002, the Corporation acquired Henderson Global Investors’ private client and charities asset management business, which is branded Henderson Private Asset Management (HPAM).

Pending formation of joint venture with Shinsei Bank, Limited
 
In August 2002, the Corporation announced an agreement with Shinsei Bank, Limited to form a 50/50 joint venture investment advisory and trust company, subject to regulatory approval.

Pending formation of joint venture with ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
 
In July 2002, the Corporation announced an agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to formalize their current marketing strategic alliance for global custody services. The Corporation and ABN AMRO will create a new, separately capitalized financial services company which will provide global custody and related services to clients worldwide, excluding North America, Japan and Australia. Domiciled in The Netherlands with a branch in London, the new company will employ approximately 300 people in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The new company will be named ABN AMRO Mellon Global Securities Services B.V. and the results of its operations will be recorded as part of the Corporation’s Asset Servicing sector using the equity method of accounting. Subject to regulatory approval, which is expected late in the fourth quarter of 2002, the new company will be formed from an alliance that has been in existence since November 1998.

(a)
 
In January 2002, the Corporation began to record customer expense reimbursements as revenue in accordance with a Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff announcement. The Corporation had historically reported expense reimbursements as a reduction of expenses. Prior period amounts have been reclassified.
(b)
 
Amounts do not necessarily agree with those presented in Business Sectors on page 37, which include revenue transferred between sectors under revenue transfer agreements. Additionally, sector amounts are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
Note: For analytical purposes, the term “fee revenue,” as utilized throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is defined as total noninterest revenue less gains on the sales of securities.
 
Fee revenue
 
Reflecting the predominantly fee based nature of the Corporation’s lines of businesses, fee revenue totaled 84% of fee and net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, in the third quarter of 2002, compared with 86% in the second quarter of 2002 and 84% in the third quarter of 2001. The major component of fee revenue, trust and investment fee revenue, totaled 69% of fee and net interest revenue, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, in the third quarter of 2002, compared with 70% in the second quarter of 2002 and 68% in the third quarter of 2001.
 
Fee revenue was adversely impacted by the weakened economy and deteriorating equity markets. Fee revenue of $856 million in the third quarter of 2002 decreased $67 million, or 7% (unannualized), from the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to lower trust and investment fee revenue and equity investment revenue partially offset by higher foreign exchange and securities trading revenue. As discussed further under the applicable fee categories below, the 8% decline in trust and investment fee revenue was

23


Table of Contents

Noninterest revenue (continued)

principally due to market depreciation in assets under management on which investment management fees are based, lower benefits consulting revenue and lower transaction volumes in investor services fees, impacting human resources services fee revenue, and a seasonal decline in securities lending fees which are included in institutional trust and custody fees. The decline in equity investment revenue reflects downward fair value adjustments to a number of private direct investments and third party fund investments, as well as lower market values in several publicly held investments. The weak economic environment, as well as weak equity markets, were underlying drivers for these declines.
 
Fee revenue in the third quarter of 2002 increased $95 million, or 12%, when compared with the third quarter of 2001, reflecting an $81 million, or 13%, increase in trust and investment fee revenue. These increases were impacted by acquisitions, primarily the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. Excluding the acquisitions, fee revenue decreased approximately 5% in the third quarter of 2002, compared with the third quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting an approximate 5% reduction in trust and investment fee revenue as well as lower equity investment revenue partially offset by higher securities trading, cash management and foreign exchange revenue. The factors contributing to the decline in trust and investment fee revenue and equity investment revenue were the same as those noted above for the decline from the second quarter of 2002.
 
Investment management fee revenue
 
As shown in the table on the following page, investment management fee revenue of $340 million declined $15 million, or 4% in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter 2002 reflecting a decline in assets under management on which investment management fees are based. As shown in the table on page 26, assets under management declined $26 billion from June 30, 2002 due to market depreciation of $31 billion, partially offset by net inflows of $2 billion and $3 billion from acquisitions. The impact was principally in equities as the equity markets at Sept. 30, 2002, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, decreased 17.6% compared to June 30, 2002, while a key bond market benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government Bond Index, increased 12.2% compared to June 30, 2002. The Corporation estimates that a sustained (one year) 100 point change in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, when applied to the Corporation’s assets under management mix, would result in a change of approximately $45 million to $60 million in investment management fees, the impact of which would be partially offset by a related increase or decrease in incentive expense.
 
The largest category of investment management fees are fees from managed mutual funds. As shown in the table on the following page, fees from equity mutual funds declined $11 million while mutual fund fees from money market and bond funds increased $4 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2002. Mutual fund management fees are based upon the daily average net assets of each fund. The average net assets of proprietary mutual funds managed in the third quarter of 2002 were $193 billion, down $6 billion, or 3% from $199 billion in the second quarter of 2002. Proprietary equity funds averaged $38 billion in the third quarter of 2002, a decrease of $8 billion, or 17%, compared with $46 billion in the second quarter of 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, second quarter of 2002, and third quarter of 2001, respectively, the Corporation generated, on an annualized basis, 60 to 62 basis points on equity mutual funds; 24 to 27 basis points on average proprietary money market funds; and 55 to 58 basis points on average proprietary bond and fixed income funds. In the third quarter of 2002, total proprietary managed mutual funds generated 36 basis points, on an annualized basis, on total average proprietary managed mutual funds, compared with 37 basis points in the second quarter of 2002, and 41 basis points in the third quarter of 2001. The decline in institutional and private client investment management fees also resulted principally from depreciation in the market value of equity assets under management.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

Investment management fee revenue of $340 million decreased 2% compared with $345 million in the third quarter of 2001. While assets under management at Sept. 30, 2002 of $562 billion were $15 billion higher than at Sept. 30, 2001, investment management fee revenue decreased principally due to a shift in the mix of assets under management from equities, which typically carry higher basis point fees, to fixed income and money market assets which carry lower fees. As shown in the table below, the decrease was in institutional and private client fees as mutual fund fees actually increased $2 million in spite of this mix shift as a $34 billion increase in average money market mutual fund assets generated sufficiently higher fees to more than offset the decline in fees from equity mutual funds. Equity market levels at Sept. 30, 2002, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, decreased 21.7% compared with Sept. 30, 2001, while the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government Bond Index, increased 14.9% compared to Sept. 30, 2001.

Net of quarterly mutual fund fees waived and fund expense reimbursements of $9 million, $10 million and $7 million at Sept. 30, 2002, June 30, 2002, and Sept. 30, 2001, respectively. Net of year-to-date fees waived and fund expense reimbursements of $29 million and $20 million at Sept. 30, 2002, and Sept. 30, 2001.
 
Investment management fees are dependent on the level and mix of assets under management. The tables on the following page show the composition of assets under management for each period as well as the factors impacting the changes in the third quarter of 2002 and from the third quarter of 2001. As of Sept. 30, 2002, the market value of assets under management was $562 billion, a $26 billion, or 4% (unannualized), decrease from $588 billion at June 30, 2002, and a $15 billion, or 3%, increase from $547 billion at Sept. 30, 2001. The $562 billion of assets managed were comprised as follows: 30% equities; 21% fixed income; 32% money market; 9% overlay and global fixed-income products; and 8% securities lending cash collateral. The decrease in the third quarter of 2002 compared with June 30, 2002 was primarily due to the declining equity markets, as net inflows of $2 billion, due to money market inflows, were offset by market depreciation of $31 million. The increase in the market value of assets under management over the past 12 months reflects net inflows of $38 billion, of which $34 billion were money market assets, which was in excess of market depreciation of $26 billion.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

Institutional trust and custody fee revenue
 
Institutional trust and custody fees are dependent on a number of factors including the level of assets administered and under custody, the volume of transactions in the accounts, and the types and frequency of ancillary services provided to the customers such as securities lending and performance analytics. Institutional trust and custody revenue of $138 million for the third quarter of 2002 was down $11 million, or 7%, compared with the second quarter of 2002 principally due to a decline in securities lending revenue. Securities lending revenue totaled $16 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared with $24 million in the second quarter of 2002. The $22 million, or 19%, increase in institutional trust and custody fee revenue from the third quarter of 2001 is due in part to the acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems in November 2001 and business growth, offset by a decline in securities lending fees. Securities lending revenue in the third quarter of 2001 totaled $19 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and securities lending revenue, institutional trust and custody fees increased approximately 3% compared to the third quarter of 2001 due to business growth. Institutional trust and custody fees benefited from the conversion of new customers during the quarter totaling $57 billion. The decline in the market value of assets under administration and custody reflects the impact of market depreciation.

(b)
 
Assets administered by the Corporation under ABN AMRO Mellon, a strategic alliance of the Corporation and ABN AMRO, included in the table above, were $157 billion at Sept. 30, 2002; $166 billion at June 30, 2002; $139 billion at March 31, 2002; $130 billion at Dec. 31, 2001; and $118 billion at Sept. 30, 2001. In July 2002, the Corporation announced an agreement with ABN AMRO to formalize their alliance and create a joint venture. See page 21 for more information.
 
Human resources services fee revenue
 
Human resources services fee revenue of $232 million in the third quarter of 2002 decreased 12% (unannualized) compared to the second quarter of 2002 principally due to lower benefits consulting revenue, due principally to a slowdown in discretionary spending by large corporate and institutional customers. Benefit plan administration fees and investor services fees were also lower due to lower asset levels and lower plan participant activity volumes. Human resources services fee revenue increased $64 million, or 39%, from $168 million in the third quarter of 2001 primarily reflecting the impact of the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, human resources services fee revenue declined approximately 15% generally reflecting the same factors that resulted in the decrease compared with the second quarter of 2002.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

Cash management revenue
 
Cash management fee revenue of $72 million increased $1 million, or 1%, compared with the second quarter of 2002, and $10 million, or 15%, in the third quarter of 2002, compared with the third quarter of 2001. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2001 primarily resulted from lower levels of compensating balances resulting in an increase in cash management fees, and higher volumes of electronic and lockbox services. Cash management revenue does not include revenue from customers holding compensating balances on deposits in lieu of paying cash fees. The earnings on these compensating balances are recognized in net interest revenue.
 
Foreign exchange revenue
 
Foreign exchange revenue totaled $44 million in the third quarter of 2002, a $7 million or 19% increase compared with the second quarter of 2002, and a $6 million or 16% increase compared with the third quarter of 2001. The increases were primarily due to higher levels of client volumes.

Financing-related revenue, which primarily includes loan commitment fees; letters of credit and acceptance fees; gains or losses on loan sales; and gains or losses on lease residuals totaled $34 million in the third quarter of 2002, a decrease of $4 million, or 12%, compared with the second quarter of 2002 and a decrease of $5 million, or 14%, in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting lower gains on lease residuals.
 
Equity investment revenue
 
Equity investment revenue includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on venture capital and non-venture capital investments. Revenue from non-venture capital investments includes equity income from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting and gains/losses from other equity investments. The table below shows the components of equity investment revenue, including the factors resulting in the venture capital losses.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

 
Each quarter, a complete review of each direct venture capital investment is made and the risk rating for each investment is updated to reflect changes in sustained performance of the company and recent or pending financing events at the company as part of the valuation process. Investments are assigned one of the following risk ratings: superior, meets expectations, below expectations, declining, or new investment not rated. The performance of each investment versus its business plan (action plan, projected cash position, revenue pipelines, etc.) and the ability of the portfolio company’s management team to implement their plan for growth and adapt it to a changing marketplace is considered, as well as external factors such as the overall economy, competitors and the sector in which the company operates. The valuation adjustments for direct investments noted above reflect the application of this process. The writedowns of publicly held investments reflect declines in the market value of those investments. Indirect investments are also reviewed each quarter, with valuation adjustments made based on the fund performance data supplied by the fund managers. All direct investment valuations are reviewed by the Mellon Ventures board of directors quarterly and indirect investment valuations are reviewed semi-annually. Adjustments of the carrying values and the fair value determination process are also audited by the Corporation’s Internal Audit department and reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
The losses from venture capital activity reflect the weak economic environment and deterioration in the equity markets. The majority of the Corporation’s venture capital investments are in companies that sell products or services to other companies, and as such have been significantly impacted by the slowdown in discretionary corporate spending, as well as from the general lack of venture capital funding. While factors vary from investment to investment, the prevalent factors applicable to the deterioration in the portfolio are revenues well below expectations, negative cash flows and, in many cases, cash positions, which without additional financing may not be sufficient to sustain the companies to a cash break-even position. Although the valuation adjustments result from a company by company review of the portfolio, continued deterioration in the external environment is also a contributing factor. Bankruptcies have been high relative to historical rates and industry-wide, investment volume in 2002 is near 2001 levels which were down by approximately two-thirds compared to 2000. Activity in the first quarter of 2002 resulted in a gain of $5 million primarily due to an improved risk rating of a direct investment in an insurance broker. Activity in the second quarter of 2002 resulted in a loss of $5 million primarily resulting from the valuation adjustment of an investment in a printing software company, and from valuations of companies in the technology sector which were adjusted to reflect prices that were being realized as technology companies were acquired by other companies. These negative valuations were partially offset by positive adjustments on indirect funds following the receipt of performance data from the fund managers. The third quarter 2002 loss of $28 million primarily resulted from valuation adjustments of companies in the technology and telecommunications sectors that were risk rated in the “below expectations” and “declining” categories, as well as additional negative valuation adjustments to reflect prices being realized in mergers and acquisitions of technology and telecommunications companies. Activity in the first quarter of 2001 resulted in a gain of $5 million primarily due to an improved risk rating of a direct investment in a plastics products company. The loss of $140 million in the second quarter of 2001 reflected the effects of a weakening economy and a general lack of venture capital funding. Losses were recorded on six private direct investments that, as a result of declining revenues and weak cash positions, were nearing bankruptcy. These companies were in the steel, chemical, information technology and temporary staffing sectors. Additional negative valuations were recorded against investments in companies in the technology and telecommunications sectors that were risk rated as “below expectations” and “declining”. A loss of $28 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2001 as the economic decline was exacerbated by the events of September 11. Valuation adjustments were recorded against investments in technology, defense, and telecommunications sectors that were risk rated as “below expectations” and “declining”. Continued weakness in the economy and further deterioration in the equity markets could result in additional losses in the future. See the table on page 51 for the life-to-date activity of the Corporation’s venture capital investments portfolio.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

 
Securities trading revenue
 
Securities trading revenue totaled $14 million in the third quarter of 2002, an $8 million increase compared with the second quarter of 2002, and a $13 million increase compared with the third quarter of 2001. These increases compared with both prior periods were primarily due to higher volumes.
 
Potential impact of reduced credit availability
 
As further discussed in Net interest revenue on page 31, noninterest revenue could potentially be negatively impacted in the future by the Corporation’s stated intention to reduce credit availability to the corporate and institutional marketplace. However, it is not possible to quantify the impact at this time.
 
Fee and other revenue including gross joint venture fee revenue
 
The Corporation accounts for its interests in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, with net results recorded primarily as trust and investment fee revenue. The gross joint venture fee revenue is not included in the reported fee revenue. The table on the following page presents the components of total fee and other revenue, including gross joint venture fee revenue.

(a)
 
The gross joint venture fee revenue presented above is shown net of the equity income earned from the joint ventures. This table does not include the results of the proposed joint venture with ABN AMRO, which is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2002.
 
Year-to-date 2002 compared with year-to-date 2001
 
Fee revenue for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $2.722 billion, a $533 million, or 24%, increase compared with the first nine months of 2001. Fee revenue in the first nine months of 2002 was positively impacted by acquisitions, most notably the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management, the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, fee revenue for the first nine months of 2002 increased approximately 5% compared with the first nine months of 2001, reflecting higher cash management fee revenue and the $140 million charge for venture capital fair value adjustments recorded in the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the second quarter 2001 venture capital fair value adjustments and the impact of acquisitions, fee revenue and trust and investment fee revenue were essentially flat, year over year.

Noninterest revenue (continued)

Gains on sales of securities
 
The $28 million of gains on the sales of securities in the third quarter of 2002 resulted from the sale of mortgage-backed investment securities out of the Corporation’s securities available for sale portfolio. Given the decline in interest rates associated with the weak economy, these sales represent a modest repositioning of the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio to protect against accelerated prepayments associated with lower rates. At Sept. 30, 2002, net unrealized gains remaining in the Corporation’s available for sale portfolio were $230 million, up from $185 million at June 30, 2002.
 
Net interest revenue

 
Net interest revenue on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $159 million, an increase of $3 million compared with $156 million in the second quarter of 2002 and an increase of $11 million compared with $148 million in the third quarter of 2001. The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 2.72% in the third quarter of 2002, down 4 basis points compared with 2.76% in the second quarter of 2002 and up 37 basis points compared with 2.35% in the third quarter of 2001. The increase in net interest revenue in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001 reflects the higher net interest margin partially offset by a lower level of interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets decreased $1.8 billion compared with the third quarter of 2001, due to lower levels of money market investments and securities.
 
As a result of the Corporation’s stated intention to reduce credit availability to the corporate and institutional marketplace, it is expected that net interest revenue will be negatively impacted in the future. In addition, noninterest revenue could potentially be negatively impacted if customers transfer business to other providers. It is not possible to quantify the impact on either net interest revenue or noninterest revenue at this time.
 
Year-to-date 2002 compared with year-to-date 2001
 
Net interest revenue and the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis were $473 million and 2.79%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2002, compared with $428 million and 2.51%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2001. The $45 million increase in net interest revenue primarily resulted from the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities declining more than the yields on interest-earning assets. See the following two pages for an analysis of the changes in volumes and rates affecting net interest revenue.

(a)
 
In January 2002, the Corporation began to record customer expense reimbursements as revenue in accordance with a FASB staff announcement. The Corporation had historically reported expense reimbursements as a reduction of expenses. Prior period amounts have been reclassified.
(b)
 
Operating expense as a percentage of fee and net interest revenue, computed on a taxable equivalent basis, excluding the gains on the sales of securities.
 
Operating expense of $756 million decreased 1% (unannualized), in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2002 primarily reflecting lower incentive expense in the third quarter of 2002, offset in part by higher professional, legal and other purchased services.
 
Operating expense in the third quarter of 2002 increased $131 million, or 21%, compared with the third quarter of 2001. The increase was impacted by acquisitions, primarily the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network, partially offset by the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 142, which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and the third quarter 2001 amortization of goodwill, operating expense increased approximately 5% in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001, reflecting a number of factors including expenses associated with a new investment manager outsourcing contract, significantly higher medical and other benefits expense, including a lower pension credit in 2002, and higher occupancy, equipment and other expenses. The Corporation currently expects that medical and other benefits expense (included within staff expense in the table above), and insurance expense will continue to increase in the future, while the pension credit will decrease. The Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans are overfunded and have generated significant pension credits for the past several years. Realized and unrealized losses on plan assets in the full-year 2001 and the first nine months of 2002 combined with lower projected future returns may result in a significantly reduced pension credit in 2003 and perhaps beyond. See the discussion of critical accounting policies on pages 73 and 74 for a further discussion of the factors that affect pension expense.
 
Year-to-date 2002 compared with year-to-date 2001
 
Operating expense for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $2.288 billion, a $413 million, or 22%, increase compared with the first nine months of 2001. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and amortization of goodwill for the first nine months of 2001, operating expenses increased approximately 5% in the first nine months of 2002 compared with the first nine months of 2001, due to the same factors noted above for the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001.

Operating expense (continued)

 
Stock option expense
 
In the third quarter of 2002, the Corporation announced that beginning Jan. 1, 2003, the Corporation will expense the estimated fair value of stock options under current transitional guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, subject to any new provision that may be implemented by the FASB in the interim. Based on the number of options estimated to be awarded in 2002, and on current market prices for the Corporation’s common stock, if this accounting treatment were in effect in 2002, expensing stock options would reduce 2002 results by approximately $.02 per share and as required by the current transitional guidance, gradually become larger until the new treatment is fully reflected in 2006 in an amount of approximately $.09 per share.
 
Streamlining and other charges
 
In late 2001, the Corporation initiated the Lifting Earnings and Performance (LEAP) project, a process that reviewed all aspects of the Corporation’s operations with the objective of improving productivity and redeploying investments to areas that held the best opportunities for future growth. A $62 million charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 associated in large part with improving productivity and consolidating operations, as well as for other expenses, as shown in the table below. Approximately $30 million of the charge was for planned severance actions recorded in staff expense, $16 million was for consultants used to help develop and administer the productivity initiatives and for conversion costs recorded in professional, legal and other purchased services. Of the remaining $16 million, the most significant component was for the settlement of a contractual dispute, recorded in other expenses. The reserve for the settlement of the contractual dispute was utilized for this matter in the fourth quarter of 2002. The table below shows the subsequent usage of these accruals and/or the expected time period when remaining accrued expenses will be used in the future.

Income taxes

 
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations totaled $257 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared with $266 million in the first nine months of 2001. The Corporation’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 33.8% for the first nine months of 2002, compared with 33.9% for the first nine months of 2001, excluding the impact of the amortization of non-tax deductible goodwill or 35.7% including the impact of goodwill amortization. It is currently anticipated that the effective tax rate will be approximately 34% in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Business sectors (continued)

 
The Corporation’s business sectors reflect its management structure, the characteristics of its products and services, and the classes of customers to which those products and services are delivered. The Corporation’s lines of business serve two major classes of customers—high net worth individuals/families and large institutional customers. Lines of business that offer similar or related products and services to common or similar customer decision makers have been combined into six core business sectors. In addition, Other Activity, as discussed further on pages 49 through 51, consists of all activities not reported in the Corporation’s core business sectors. The results of the Corporation’s core business sectors are presented and analyzed on an internal management reporting basis. There is no intercompany profit or loss on intersector activity. The accounting policies of the business sectors are the same as those described in Note 1 of the 2001 Financial Annual Report to Shareholders except: fee and other 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 taxable equivalent basis; and credit quality expense (revenue) for the core sectors is presented on a net charge-off basis. Capital is allocated to the business sectors to reflect management’s assessment of credit risk, market risk and operating risk using internal risk assessments and factors and, where appropriate, regulatory guidelines. While external benchmarks are considered in the allocation process, the capital allocations may not be representative of the capital levels that would be required if these sectors were nonaffiliated business units.
 
Reflecting repositioning actions taken to sharpen its strategic focus in 2001 and the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network, the Corporation’s core business sectors are divided into two overall reportable groups—Asset Management and Corporate & Institutional Services. The Asset Management group is comprised of the Institutional Asset Management, Mutual Funds and Private Wealth Management sectors. The Corporate & Institutional Services group is comprised of the Asset Servicing, Human Resources Services and Treasury Services sectors. In addition, Business Sector information is reported on a continuing operations basis for all periods presented. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of discontinued operations.

Margins for the first nine months of 2001 include amortization of goodwill. Excluding amortization, ratios would have been 40%, 30% and 34%, respectively.
 
Following is a discussion of the Corporation’s six core business sectors and Other Activity. In the tables that follow, the income statement amounts are presented in millions and are on an FTE basis, the assets under management, administration or custody are period-end market values and are presented in billions, and the return on common equity is annualized. Where applicable, revenue and expense growth rates are reported excluding the impact of acquisitions to improve period to period comparability. 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, the impact of the acquisitions on income before taxes cannot be accurately determined and therefore is not reported.
 
Asset Management Group
 
The Corporation’s Asset Management Group consists of those lines of business which offer investment management and wealth management services to large corporations, institutional customers and affluent individuals aggregated into three business sectors— Institutional Asset Management, Mutual Funds and Private Wealth Management.

Results for the Asset Management Group compared with the second quarter of 2002 reflect a 5% decline in revenue, primarily due to lower investment management fees, which are based on the market value of assets under management. As shown in the table on page 26, assets under management declined $26 billion from June 30, 2002, as net inflows were offset by market depreciation of $31 billion, due to weakness in the equity markets. Expenses for the group were well controlled, remaining flat in spite of a $5 million operational error in Institutional Asset Management in the third quarter of 2002. Equity market levels, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, decreased 17.6% compared with June 30, 2002.
 
Results for the Asset Management Group compared with the third quarter of 2001 were impacted by the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management and the July 2002 acquisition of HBV Capital Management, which are included in the Institutional Asset Management sector and the October 2001 acquisition of Van Deventer and Hoch, which is included in the Private Wealth Management sector. For the Asset Management Group overall, excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenue decreased 5% and expenses increased 1%. Income before taxes for the Asset Management Group decreased 15%. The results for the Asset Management Group were negatively impacted by the weak equity markets as the S&P 500 Index, at Sept. 30, 2002, was down 21.7% compared with Sept. 30, 2001. As noted on page 25, equities comprised 30% of total assets under management at Sept. 30, 2002. A discussion of the individual sector results follows.

Institutional Asset Management is comprised of Mellon Institutional Asset Management, which consists of 14 individual asset management companies and joint ventures offering a broad range of equity, fixed income and liquidity management products; and Mellon Global Investments, which distributes investment management products internationally. The 6% decline in revenue in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2002 was due to an 8% decrease in investment management fees, which are based on the market value of assets under management, partially offset by a $2 million increase in performance fees, which are earned by investment managers as the investment performance of their products exceed various benchmarks. As shown in the table above, assets under management declined $21 billion primarily from market depreciation as shown in the table on page 26. The results of this sector compared with the third quarter of 2001 were impacted by the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon Asset Management and the July 2002 acquisition of HBV Capital Management. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, which added $41 billion in assets under management, revenue decreased 14%, reflecting the lower market value of assets under management, while expenses increased 2% in the third quarter of 2002 over the third quarter of 2001.
 
Results of this sector on a year-to-date basis compared with the prior year, excluding the impact of acquisitions, showed a reduction in revenue of 8% while expenses were flat. Assets under management for this sector were $313 billion at Sept. 30, 2002, a 6% decrease from June 30, 2002, and a 5% decrease from Sept. 30, 2001, reflecting the weakness in the equity markets as shown by the decline in the S&P 500 Index at each period end above.

Mutual Funds consists of all the activities associated with the Dreyfus/Founders complex of mutual funds. Revenue decreased 7% compared with the second quarter of 2002, as fees from equity mutual funds declined due to the weakened equity markets. This decline was partially offset by revenue related to positive flows into money market and bond funds as shown in the table on page 26 and separately managed accounts. Expenses decreased 4% as a result of lower advertising and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2002 and higher systems conversion expenses in the second quarter of 2002. Income before taxes decreased 11% compared with the second quarter of 2002 reflecting the impact of lower revenue partially offset by the reduction in expenses. Revenue from Mutual Funds decreased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2001 principally due to lower fees from equity funds due to the decline in the equity markets, partially offset by higher fees from money market and bond funds and separately managed accounts, as well as higher fees from the sale of annuity products. Expenses decreased 2%, resulting from lower advertising and marketing expenses. Income before taxes decreased 6% compared with the third quarter of 2001 reflecting the impact of lower equity markets partially offset by positive flows of money market assets and lower expenses. Results of this sector on a year-to-date basis compared with the prior year showed a 4% increase in income before taxes as revenue increased 6% due to strong institutional money market flows which more than offset the impact of lower equity fund assets. Assets under management for this sector of $162 billion were down 1% from $164 billion at June 30, 2002 and up 24% from $131 billion at Sept. 30, 2001.

Private Wealth Management consists of investment management, wealth management and private banking services for affluent individuals, including the activities of Mellon United National Bank in Florida. Income before taxes decreased 5% compared with the second quarter of 2002, reflecting a 2% decrease in revenue, driven by the decline in the equity markets and lower net interest revenue due in part to a lower average level of deposits. Income before taxes increased 2% compared with the third quarter of 2001 reflecting higher net interest revenue on a higher level of loans and deposits. The results for this sector compared with the third quarter of 2001 were impacted by the October 2001 acquisition of Van Deventer and Hoch and the July 2001 acquisition of Standish Mellon. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenue increased 3%, reflecting higher net interest revenue offset in part by the impact of the weakened equity markets. Results for this sector on a year-to-date basis compared with the prior year, showed a 10% increase in income before taxes on revenue growth of 10% reflecting higher net interest revenue on a higher level of loans and deposits. Client assets were $64 billion at Sept. 30, 2002, a decrease of 9% from June 30, 2002, and 10% from Sept. 30, 2001, reflecting the impact of equity market depreciation.

revenue and an 8% decline in revenue in the Human Resources Services sector, primarily resulting from lower benefits consulting revenue, partially offset by a 2% increase in revenue in the Treasury Services sector, reflecting higher cash management revenue.
 
Results for the third quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001 were impacted by the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network in the Human Resources Services sector and by the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems in the Asset Servicing Sector. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, revenue and expenses grew 4% and 8%, respectively, for the Corporate & Institutional Services sector overall primarily due to strong growth in the Treasury Services sector. Income before taxes decreased 3%.

Asset Servicing includes institutional trust and custody, foreign exchange, securities lending, back office outsourcing for investment managers, and substantially all of the Corporation’s joint ventures. Revenue in the Asset Servicing sector decreased 2% in the third quarter of 2002, compared with the second quarter of 2002 principally due to a seasonal decline in securities lending revenue which was partially offset by higher foreign exchange revenue. The 3% increase in expenses reflects higher software expense and higher legal fees associated with the pending formation of the joint venture with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as discussed on page 21. The results in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001 were impacted by the November 2001 acquisition of Eagle Investment Systems. Excluding this acquisition, revenue increased 3% while expenses increased 14%. Income before taxes decreased 21% compared with the third quarter of 2001. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, the revenue increase resulted from higher custody fees, reflecting business growth, partially offset by lower net interest revenue. The increase in expenses reflects that business growth. Results for this sector on a year-to-date-basis compared with the prior year, excluding the impact of acquisitions, showed a 2% reduction in revenue, in part due to lower foreign exchange revenue and securities lending revenue, and an 8% increase in expense. Income before taxes decreased 24%. Assets under administration or custody for this sector were $2.071 trillion at Sept. 30, 2002, an increase of

$5 billion, compared with June 30, 2002, and $41 billion, or 2%, compared with Sept. 30, 2001. The increase compared with June 30, 2002, resulted from $57 billion of new business conversions, partially offset by $52 billion of market depreciation. New business for 2002 on a year-to-date basis has totaled $124 billion, partially offset by market depreciation of $82 billion.

Human Resources Services includes benefits consulting and outsourcing services that utilize technology to provide administrative services for employee benefit plans, and investor services such as shareholder and securities transfer services. Compared with the second quarter of 2002, revenue decreased 8% and expenses decreased 4%, resulting in a $13 million decrease in income before taxes. Results for this sector reflect lower benefits consulting services and project work levels due to a slowdown in discretionary spending by larger corporate and institutional customers. In addition, benefit plan administration fees and investor services fees were lower due to a decrease in asset levels and decreases in plan participants due to downsizing by clients resulting in lower transaction volumes. Results for the third quarter of 2002 and year-to-date 2002 periods compared with the same periods in 2001 were impacted by the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. Excluding the impact of the acquisition and the amortization of goodwill in 2001, revenue decreased 3% and expenses increased 3% compared to the third quarter of 2001. Excluding the amortization of goodwill in 2001, income before taxes decreased $5 million. On a year-to-date basis, excluding the impact of the acquisition and the amortization of goodwill in 2001, revenue was flat and expenses increased 5%. The lack of revenue growth resulted from the same factors that impacted revenue in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2002. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher staff expense and higher equipment expense. Excluding the amortization of goodwill in 2001, income before taxes decreased $4 million.

Business sectors (continued)

 
Revenue in the Other Activity sector primarily reflects net interest revenue of business exits activity, earnings on capital above that required for the core business sectors, gains from the sale of assets, and the gains/losses and carrying costs of Mellon Ventures activities. Operating expense includes various direct expenses for items not attributable to the operations of a business sector, a net credit for the net corporate level (income) expense amounts allocated from Other Activity to the core business sectors, and the expenses of Mellon Ventures. Average assets include assets of the activities discussed below that the Corporation intends to exit, the investments of Mellon Ventures and assets of certain areas not identified with the core business sectors. This sector also includes assets and liabilities recorded directly in Corporate Treasury and not associated with a particular line of business. Average common and Tier I preferred equity represents capital in excess of that required for the core business sectors, as well as capital required for the investments of Mellon Ventures.
 
In accordance with the Corporation’s management accounting reporting practices, credit quality expense (revenue) for the core business sectors is presented on a net charge-off basis. Credit quality expense (revenue) in Other Activity represents the Corporation’s provision for credit losses in excess of net charge-offs recorded in the core business sectors. When a determination is made that a borrowing arrangement does not meet the Corporation’s relationship strategy criteria, it is moved to business exits in Other Activity and managed under an exit strategy. Any subsequent credit quality expense (revenue) is reported in Other Activity and not in the core business sectors. The Corporation’s business exits strategy is a strategy to exit all credit relationships for which a broad fee-based relationship resulting from the cross-sale of the Corporation’s fee-based services does not exist or for which the customer does not meet the Corporation’s credit quality criteria. The loans and leases transferred to this classification include the Corporation’s large ticket lease portfolio, which was principally transaction based, selected types of loans which were also transaction based (leveraged loans, project financings) and loans to companies where a broad based fee relationship does not exist or for which the customer does not meet the Corporation’s credit quality criteria. The Corporation will not renew its credit relationship with such companies when the respective contractual commitment periods end. The Corporation may consider selling remaining commitments on a case-by-case basis as opportunities arise.
 
The Other Activity sector recorded pre-tax income of $14 million in the third quarter of 2002, compared with a pre-tax loss of $147 million in the second quarter of 2002 and a break-even position in the third quarter of 2001. Other Activity in the third quarter of 2002 includes $32 million of losses resulting from fair value adjustments to venture capital investments, reflecting the continued weakness in the economy, partially offset by $4 million of realized gains. See pages 28 and 29 for a discussion of the venture capital activity in the third quarter of 2002. Also included in other activity is $28 million of gains from the sale of mortgage-backed investment securities. Given the decline in interest rates associated with the weak economy, these sales represent a modest repositioning of the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio to protect against accelerated prepayments associated with lower rates. As shown in the table on the prior page, business exits activity in the third quarter of 2002 reported a loss of $114 million, reflecting the net credit losses of $115 million in the quarter. This loss was offset in the corporate activity component of Other Activity as the actual income statement impact of the provision for credit losses was recorded in prior quarters. The results in the corporate activity component of Other Activity for the second quarter of 2002 included the special provision for credit losses related in large part to credit exposure to customers that have been associated with allegations of accounting irregularities.

Business sectors (continued)

 
Income before taxes was a loss of $114 million for the first nine months of 2002, primarily resulting from the second quarter special provision for credit losses. The $105 million loss in the first nine months of 2001 primarily resulted from the $140 million pre-tax, or $91 million after-tax, charge for venture capital fair value adjustments.
 
Shown below is a table that reports the life-to-date activity of the Corporation’s venture capital investments portfolio. For a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to venture capital investments, which are regarded as critical accounting policies, see page 19 of the 2001 Financial Annual Report.

Excludes other assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
 
The Corporation’s average interest-earning assets increased $619 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2002 and decreased $1.755 billion in the third quarter of 2002 compared with the third quarter of 2001. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2002 resulted from higher levels of securities and money market investments. The decrease compared with the prior-year period resulted from lower levels of money market investments and securities.
 
Core funds, which are 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, demand deposits, shareholders’ equity, notes and debentures with original maturities over one year, trust-preferred securities and other liabilities. Core funds primarily support core assets, which consist of loans, net of the reserve, and noninterest-earning assets (excluding other assets of discontinued operations). Average core assets increased $566 million in the third quarter of 2002 from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting a higher level of noninterest-earning assets. Core funds averaged 146% of core assets in the third quarter of 2002 compared with 132% in the second quarter of 2002 and 138% in the third quarter of 2001. The excess of core funds over core assets are typically invested in securities.
 
Purchased funds are defined as funds acquired in the wholesale money markets including deposits in foreign offices (excluding cash management and sub-custodial sweep deposits), federal funds purchased and securities under repurchase agreements, negotiable certificates of deposit, other time deposits, U.S. Treasury tax and loan demand notes, commercial paper, short-term bank notes, other funds borrowed, and funds allocated from discontinued operations (excluding other liabilities of discontinued operations). Purchased funds decreased $2.648 billion in the third quarter of 2002 from the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to a decrease in federal funds purchased and securities under repurchase agreements, other time deposits and term federal funds purchased. Purchased funds as a percentage of total average assets totaled 12% in the third quarter of 2002 compared with 20% in the second quarter of 2002 and 24% in the third quarter of 2001.

Composition of loan portfolio

The loan portfolio at Sept. 30, 2002, decreased $468 million, or 5%, compared with June 30, 2002, increased $811 million compared with Dec. 31, 2001 and decreased $529 million compared with Sept. 30, 2001. The decrease from June 30, 2002, resulted from a $421 million, or 7%, reduction in domestic and international commercial and financial loans and leases. This reduction reflects the Corporation’s efforts to reduce credit risk to the corporate and institutional marketplace. At Sept. 30, 2002, the composition of the loan portfolio was 83% commercial and 17% consumer.

Commercial and financial
 
At Sept. 30, 2002, total domestic commercial and financial loans decreased $306 million, or 7%, compared with June 30, 2002, increased by $641 million, or 18%, compared with Dec. 31, 2001, and decreased by $242 million, or 5%, compared with Sept. 30, 2001. As stated above, the decrease compared with June 30, 2002, results from a stated strategy of reducing exposure to the corporate and institutional marketplace. The increase compared with Dec. 31, 2001, resulted from a higher level of corporate and institutional services loans, primarily resulting from no longer referring transactions to Sweetwater Capital Corp., as discussed on pages 56 and 57. Sweetwater had no loan receivables at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with $1.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2001, and $1.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2001. Domestic commercial and financial loans represented 46% of the total loan portfolio at Sept. 30, 2002, unchanged from June 30, 2002, compared with 42% at Dec. 31, 2001, and 46% at Sept. 30, 2001.
 
Commercial real estate
 
At Sept. 30, 2002, domestic commercial real estate loans decreased $12 million compared with June 30, 2002 and decreased $115 million, or 5%, compared with both Dec. 31, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2001. Domestic commercial real estate loans represented 26% of total loans at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with 25% at June 30, 2002, 30% at Dec. 31, 2001, and 26% at Sept. 30, 2001.
 
Consumer credit
 
Consumer credit, which principally consists of secured and unsecured personal credit lines and mortgages for customers in the Private Wealth Management sector, was $1.552 billion at Sept. 30, 2002, a decrease of $35 million, or 2%, compared with June 30, 2002, and an increase of $428 million, or 38%, compared with Dec. 31, 2001, and an increase of $256 million, or 20%, compared with Sept. 30, 2001.

Lease finance assets
 
Lease finance assets, which represent large-ticket leases, totaled $577 million at Sept. 30, 2002, a decrease of $36 million, or 6%, compared with $613 million at June 30, 2002. Lease finance assets totaled $637 million at Dec. 31, 2001, and $671 million at Sept. 30, 2001. Large ticket lease assets will continue to run-off through repayments, possible sales and no new originations.
 
International loans and leases
 
Loans to international borrowers, which include the foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations, totaled $542 million at Sept. 30, 2002, a decrease of $79 million, or 13%, compared with June 30, 2002. International loans totaled $625 million at Dec. 31, 2001, and $876 million at Sept. 30, 2001. The decrease compared with Sept. 30, 2001, was primarily due to decreased activity with large corporate customers and foreign banks. International loans represented 6% of the total loan portfolio at Sept. 30, 2002, unchanged from June 30, 2002, compared with 7% at Dec. 31, 2001, and 9% at Sept. 30, 2001.

Referral Arrangements With Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Entities
 
TRFCO
 
The Corporation’s primary banking subsidiary, Mellon Bank, N.A. (the Bank) has a referral relationship with Three Rivers Funding Corp. (TRFCO), a special purpose entity that issues commercial paper. TRFCO is owned by an independent third party and is not a subsidiary of either the Bank or the Corporation. Its financial results are not included in the financial statements of the Bank or the Corporation. TRFCO was formed in 1990 and can issue up to $5 billion of commercial paper to purchase pools of receivables or asset-backed securities. The Bank operates as a referral agent and refers transactions to TRFCO. Loans or other assets are not transferred from the Bank to TRFCO. The Bank performs all loan servicing and administrative services for TRFCO.

Every transaction in TRFCO is structured to provide substantial loss protection and minimize credit risk. Transactions are overcollateralized with customer receivables and structured to the equivalent of an investment grade credit rating before consideration of any liquidity or credit support by the Bank. By agreement, liquidity support is provided by the Bank up to the full amount of commercial paper outstanding. Such liquidity is provided through transaction specific Funding Agreements for individual sales of receivables from third parties. The Bank is obligated to provide liquidity support if collections on receivable pools are not sufficient to cover associated commercial paper that has matured and the receivables related to maturing commercial paper or proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are insufficient to pay maturing commercial paper related to a specific third party seller (not the Bank). The obligation to make purchases under the Funding Agreements continues as long as TRFCO is not bankrupt and the amount of the purchase does not exceed the available liquidity commitment. Liquidity support is also provided in the event of noncredit related operational reasons, or if there were to be a systemic issue with the commercial paper market that would prevent the rollover of commercial paper. Finally, the Bank has also provided a letter of credit for TRFCO in support of the commercial paper issued. The maximum exposure for the letter of credit is the lesser of $400 million or 8% of the outstanding commercial paper. A drawing under the letter of credit would occur only after the first loss credit enhancement, provided by a third party seller (not the Bank), built into each transaction is completely exhausted and there are not sufficient funds available from the liquidity providers to repay maturing commercial paper. The facilities that provide liquidity and credit support to TRFCO are included in the table on the following page and in the “Financial instruments with contract amounts that represent credit risk” table on page 84 of the Corporation’s 2001 Financial Annual Report. The estimated liability for losses related to these arrangements, if any, is included in the reserve for unfunded commitments.
 
Fee revenue of $3 million was received from this entity in third quarter of 2002 compared with $5 million in the third quarter of 2001, for the services and the liquidity and credit support facilities. Liquidity facility fees are determined by the structure of the transaction and the underlying credit risk of the servicer. The calculation of the liquidity fee under each Funding Agreement is based on the outstanding amount of the commercial paper associated with each transaction in TRFCO. Pricing on the TRFCO letter of credit is based on the same criteria used by the Bank for standby letters of credit of similar risk characteristics. The calculation of the letter of credit fee is based on the aggregate amount of TRFCO commercial paper outstanding reduced by the amount of commercial paper outstanding in connection with those transactions structured to the equivalent of a “AA” rating or higher. Fee revenue is recognized in the month the fees are earned.
 
At Sept. 30, 2002, TRFCO’s receivables and commercial paper outstanding each totaled approximately $1.4 billion, compared with $1.3 billion at June 30, 2002. The letter of credit provided by the Bank in support of TRFCO’s commercial paper totaled $106 million at Sept. 30, 2002. Since TRFCO’s formation in 1990, the Bank has not been required to provide any liquidity support or credit support under the letter of credit. In addition, the Bank has never purchased a receivable from TRFCO or recorded a credit loss related to its relationship with TRFCO. The Corporation intends to continue to refer transactions to TRFCO as a service to relationship customers seeking to finance their receivables in a cost effective manner.
 
Sweetwater
 
In addition, the Bank had also referred transactions to Sweetwater Capital Corp. (Sweetwater), that was formed in August 1999. Sweetwater issued commercial paper to make commercial loans to investment-grade and near investment-grade entities. Following the Corporation’s 2001 divestitures and repositioning actions, the level of commercial lending activity available for referral to Sweetwater was significantly reduced. As a consequence, the relationship with Sweetwater was no longer complementary with the

Corporation’s business strategy. In 2002, transactions are no longer being referred to Sweetwater and as of Sept. 30, 2002, Sweetwater had no receivables and the Bank is no longer providing credit or liquidity support. At June 30, 2002, its receivables were $25 million and totaled $1.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2001.

Includes $22 million, $52 million and $47 million, respectively, of minority interest. In addition, includes $416 million, $299 million and $291 million, respectively, of tax benefits related to tax deductible goodwill and intangible assets.
(b)
 
Shareholders’ equity plus minority interest less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. The amount of goodwill and intangible assets subtracted from shareholders’ equity and total assets is net of the tax benefit.

The required minimum Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios are 4%, 8% and 3%, respectively.
(d)
 
Includes discontinued operations.
 
The Corporation’s equity to assets capital ratios at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with Sept. 30, 2001, reflect the positive effect of a smaller balance sheet, offset in part by the effect of common stock repurchases. The improvement in the leverage capital ratio was primarily due to lower average total assets as a result of the completed dispositions. The risk-based capital ratios include discontinued operations.
 
During the third quarter of 2002, 5.1 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a purchase price of $130 million for an average share price of $25.69 per share. Share repurchases in the first nine months of 2002 totaled 19.4 million shares at a purchase price of $669 million for an average share price of $34.57 per share. Common shares outstanding at Sept. 30, 2002, were 17.7% lower than at Jan. 1, 1999, a 92.9 million share reduction, net of shares reissued primarily for employee benefit plan purposes. This reduction was due to stock repurchases totaling approximately $4.5 billion, at an average share price of $36.88 per share. At Sept. 30, 2002, an additional 3.0 million common shares were available for repurchase under a 25 million share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in November 2001. In October 2002, the board of directors authorized an additional repurchase program of up to 25 million shares of common stock.
 
The Corporation considers the available uses for its tangible internal capital generation to be dividends to shareholders, internal investments in support of growth, growth acquisitions and share repurchases. Following the Citizens transaction and other divestitures in the latter half of 2001, the Corporation’s balance sheet was significantly reduced and its resultant mix of businesses were such that the vast majority of “internal investments” required for growth will be expensed when incurred. The Corporation also realigned

59


Table of Contents

Capital (continued)

its quarterly dividend to shareholders in November 2001 from $.24/share to $.12/share (increased to $.13/share in October 2002) to maintain its net internal capital generation following the sale to Citizens and its other divestitures. The Corporation therefore expects the majority of its internal capital generation to be available for growth acquisitions or, to the extent such acquisitions are not pending, for the repurchase of common stock, all subject to maintaining its commitment to remain well capitalized. For regulatory ratios, the Corporation uses as definitions of “well capitalized”, a 6% Tier I ratio, a 10% Total Capital ratio (Tier I plus Tier II) and a 5% Leverage Capital ratio. The Corporation also seeks to maintain a minimum Tangible shareholders’ equity to assets ratio (as defined on page 59) of 5%.

Regulatory capital
 
For a banking institution to qualify as well capitalized, its Tier I, Total and Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. All of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries qualified as well capitalized at Sept. 30, 2002. The Corporation intends to maintain the ratios of its banking subsidiaries above the well-capitalized levels. By maintaining ratios above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines, the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries receive the benefit of lower FDIC deposit insurance assessments.
 
In April 2002, new regulatory capital requirements for banks, bank holding companies and financial holding companies holding equity investments in nonfinancial companies and/or holding equity investments made under the new merchant banking authority granted by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act became effective. In general, the rules require that certain percentages, ranging from 8% to 25%, of an institution’s equity investments be deducted from Tier I capital. The capital charges increase in steps as the level of an institution’s overall exposure to equity investment activities in nonfinancial companies increases relative to the institution’s level of Tier I capital. The Corporation’s regulatory capital ratios were not materially impacted by these regulatory capital requirements.

The $253 million increase in acquisition-related intangibles from Dec. 31, 2001, primarily resulted from goodwill and intangible assets recognized from the January 2002 acquisition of Unifi Network. In accordance with new accounting standards regarding business combinations and related accounting for goodwill and intangible assets, goodwill is not being amortized. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for a further discussion of the new accounting standards and additional disclosures related to intangibles.
 
Liquidity and dividends

 
The Corporation manages its liquidity position with the objective of maintaining the ability to fund balance sheet commitments and to repay liabilities in accordance with their terms, even during periods of market or financial stress. Assets and liabilities are managed in such a way to accommodate changes in funding requirements without generating a material adverse impact on net income. Core demand and time deposits, gathered from our private wealth management and corporate and institutional services 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, are also utilized to meet short-term requirements for cash. Liquidity is managed on both a consolidated basis and at Mellon Financial Corporation, the Parent Corporation.
 
The Parent Corporation has access to the following principal sources of liquidity: dividends and interest from its subsidiaries, the commercial paper market, a revolving credit agreement with third party financial institutions and access to the capital markets.
 
The ability of national and state member bank subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Parent Corporation is subject to certain regulatory limitations. For a discussion of these limitations, see Note 22 in the Corporation’s 2001 Financial Annual Report to Shareholders. Under the more restrictive limitation, the Corporation’s national and state member bank subsidiaries can, without prior regulatory approval, declare dividends subsequent to Sept. 30, 2002, of approximately $595 million, less any dividends declared and plus or minus net profits or losses, as defined, earned between Oct. 1, 2002, and the date of any such dividend declaration.
 
At Sept. 30, 2002, the Parent Corporation held cash and marketable securities of $387 million. For the third quarter of 2002, the Parent Corporation’s quarterly average commercial paper borrowings were $19 million compared with $678 million in the third quarter of 2001. Commercial paper outstanding was $16 million at Sept. 30, 2002.
 
The Parent Corporation has a $300 million revolving credit agreement with financial institutions that expires in June 2003. There were no borrowings under this facility at Sept. 30, 2002. The Parent Corporation also has the ability to access the capital markets. As of Sept. 30, 2002, the Parent Corporation had an effective debt shelf registration statement with $500 million of unused capacity. Access to the capital markets is partially dependent on the Corporation’s and Mellon Bank, N.A.’s credit ratings which are shown on the following page.

Contractual maturities of the Corporation’s long-term debt totaled $403 million in the third quarter of 2002, of which $400 million was Parent Corporation term debt. Contractual maturities of the Corporation’s long-term debt will total $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Contractual maturities of long-term debt will total $630 million in 2003.
 
The Corporation paid $157 million in common stock dividends in the first nine months of 2002, compared with $332 million in the prior-year period. The common dividend payout ratio, on a net income basis, was 27% in the third quarter of 2002 on a dividend of $.12 per share compared with 58% in the third quarter of 2001 on a dividend of $.24 per share. Based upon shares outstanding at Sept. 30, 2002, and the current quarterly common dividend rate of $.13 per share, announced on Oct. 15, 2002, the annualized common stock dividend requirement would be approximately $225 million.
 
As shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and due from banks increased by $873 million during the first nine months of 2002 to $4.050 billion. The increase resulted from $1.049 billion of net cash provided by financing activities and $389 million of net cash provided by investing activities, partially offset by $574 million of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily resulted from an increase in customer deposits, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock. Net cash provided by investing activities primarily resulted from lower levels of money market investments and federal funds sold, partially offset by net advances of loans and net purchases of securities available for sale. Net cash used in operating activities primarily resulted from the payment of income taxes on the net gain on the sale of discontinued operations and the payment of incentives and bonuses earned in 2001 and paid in the first quarter of 2002.
 
Interest rate sensitivity analysis

 
The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage the effects that interest rate fluctuations have on net interest revenue and on the net present value of the Corporation’s assets, liabilities and derivative instruments. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest margin simulation and asset/liability net present value sensitivity analyses. Simulation tools serve as the primary means to gauge interest rate exposure. The net present value sensitivity analysis is the means by which the Corporation’s long-term interest rate exposure is evaluated. These analyses provide an understanding of the range of potential impacts on net interest revenue caused by interest rate movements.
 
Computer modeling techniques are used to estimate the impact of changes in interest rates on the net interest margin. The model uses the Sept. 30, 2002 consolidated balance sheet and derivative positions used for interest-rate risk management adjusted for committed positions not settled as of that date. The simulation

also incorporates assumptions regarding the changes in the balance sheet composition, hedging strategies, and the repricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing funds over the next 12 month period. These assumptions have been developed utilizing both historical analyses and the anticipated pricing of future business activity. Financial market conditions and management’s response to events may cause actual results to differ from simulated results.
 
The measurement of interest rate risk is meaningful only when all related on- and off-balance-sheet items are aggregated and the net positions are identified. Financial instruments that the Corporation uses to manage interest rate sensitivity include: money market assets; U.S. government and federal agency securities; municipal securities; mortgage-backed securities; fixed-rate wholesale term funding; and interest rate swaps. The table below illustrates the simulation analysis of the impact of a 50, 100 and 200 basis point parallel shift upward or 50 and 100 basis point parallel shift downward in interest rates on net interest revenue, earnings per share and return on equity. Given the low interest rate environment that existed in the third quarter of 2002, the impact of a 200 basis point downward shift is not shown in the table. This analysis was prepared using the levels of all interest-earning assets, supporting funds and derivative instruments used for interest rate risk management at Sept. 30, 2002, assuming that the level of loan fees remains unchanged and excluding the impact of interest receipts on nonperforming loans. The impact of the rate movements was developed by simulating the effect of rates changing in a parallel fashion over a six-month period from the Sept. 30, 2002, levels and remaining at those levels thereafter.

The anticipated impact on net interest revenue under various scenarios did not exceed the Corporation’s guidelines for assuming interest rate risk at both Sept. 30, 2002, and Sept. 30, 2001. The simulation results reflect the Corporation’s efforts to balance the repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and supporting funds.
 
Managing interest rate risk with derivative instruments
 
By policy, the Corporation will not enter into any new derivative contracts that, when aggregated into the total corporate interest rate exposure, would cause the Corporation to exceed its established interest rate risk limits. Interest rate swaps—including callable and basis swaps—caps and floors, financial futures and forwards and financial options have been approved by the board of directors for managing the overall corporate interest rate exposure. The use of financial futures, forwards and option contracts is permitted provided that: the transactions occur in a market with a size that reasonably ensures sufficient liquidity; the contract is traded on an approved exchange or, in the case of over-the-counter option contracts, is transacted with a credit-approved counterparty; and the types of contracts have been authorized for use by the Finance Committee. These instruments provide the Corporation flexibility in adjusting its interest rate risk position. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. Interest rate futures generally involve exchange traded contracts to buy or sell a specified instrument in the future at specified prices.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis (continued)

Interest rate options represent contracts that allow the holder the right, but not the obligation to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Certain of these contracts also provide the Corporation with the right to enter into interest rate swaps and cap and floor agreements with the writer of the option. By using derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk, the desired effect is a smaller, more efficient balance sheet, with a lower wholesale funding requirement and a higher net interest margin. Use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes is not permitted outside of those areas designated as trading and is controlled with specific authorizations and limits. The derivative instruments used to manage the Corporation’s interest rate risk are shown in the table below. Additional information regarding these contracts is presented in Note 24 in the Corporation’s 2001 Financial Annual Report to Shareholders.

These callable swaps are generic swaps with a call option at the option of the counterparty beginning Dec. 1, 2006. Call options will be exercised or not exercised on the basis of market interest rates. Expected maturity dates, based upon interest rates at Sept. 30, 2002, are shown in this table.
 
The table on the following page presents the gross notional amounts 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 was approximately $2.3 billion higher at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with Sept. 30, 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation entered into $2.7 billion of pay fixed/receive floating interest rate swaps to adjust its interest rate risk position following the sale of fixed rate deposits included in the Citizens transaction. The notional amounts shown in the table above and the table on the following page should be viewed in the context of the Corporation’s overall interest rate risk management activities to assess the impact on the net interest margin.

(a)
 
The amount of credit risk associated with these instruments is limited to the cost of replacing a contract in a gain position, on which a counterparty may default. Credit risk associated with these instruments was $313 million at Sept. 30, 2002, $90 million at Dec. 31, 2001, and $218 million at Sept. 30, 2001. The credit risk associated with interest rate swaps is calculated after considering master netting agreements, which includes derivative instruments used for risk management purposes and derivative instruments used for trading activities.
 
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 differential resulted in interest revenue of $24 million and $67 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, compared with interest revenue of $15 million and $24 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2001. The estimated unrealized fair value of the Corporation’s risk management derivative instruments at Sept. 30, 2002, was a positive $310 million, compared to a positive $109 million at Dec. 31, 2001, and a positive $211 million at Sept. 30, 2001. These values must be viewed in the context of the overall financial structure of the Corporation, including the aggregate net position of all on- and off-balance-sheet instruments.
 
Fair Value Hedges
 
The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps to convert portions of its fixed rate trust-preferred securities to floating rate securities, its fixed rate long term subordinated debt to floating rate debt and, to a lesser degree, certain fixed rate loans to variable rate loans. The fixed rate liability instruments are changed to variable rate instruments by entering into receive fixed/pay variable swaps and the fixed rate asset instruments are changed to variable rate instruments by entering into pay fixed/receive variable swaps. No ineffectiveness was recorded for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2002.
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to convert money market deposits to fixed rate deposits and floating rate long term debt to fixed rate debt. The deposits and floating rate debt are changed to fixed rate by entering into pay fixed/receive floating swaps. Ineffectiveness of less than $1 million was recorded for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2002.
 
Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variable cash flows associated with the Corporation’s deposits and floating rate long term debt are reported in comprehensive results. These amounts are subsequently reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive results to interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on the deposits or debt affects earnings.
 
During the next 12 months, $8 million of losses, net of tax, on derivative instruments currently in accumulated other comprehensive results related to the interest rate swaps are expected to be reclassified to interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged obligation. The maximum term over which the Corporation is hedging its exposure to variability of future cash flows is 2 years.

Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations
 
The Corporation uses five year yen denominated debt to hedge its investment in a Japanese bank. The purpose of this hedge is to protect against adverse movements in exchange rates.
 
Derivative instruments used for trading activities
 
The Corporation also enters into various foreign exchange and interest rate 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 the Corporation’s risks in certain trading portfolios and as part of its proprietary trading activities. All of these instruments are carried at market value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in foreign exchange revenue and securities trading revenue.
 
The financial risk associated with trading positions is managed by assigning position limits and stop-loss guidance amounts to individual activities. The Corporation uses a value-at-risk methodology to estimate the potential daily amount that could be lost from adverse market movements. Value-at-risk measures 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 the balance sheet. Using the Corporation’s methodology, which considers such factors as changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, spreads and related volatility, the aggregate value-at-risk for trading activities was approximately $6 million at Sept. 30, 2002, and $5 million at Dec. 31, 2001.

Provision and reserves for credit exposure

The Corporation’s accounting policies regarding the reserve for credit exposure are regarded as critical accounting policies in that they involve significant management valuation judgements. The Corporation’s banking subsidiaries maintain a reserve for loan losses that is intended to adjust the value of their loans for probable credit losses. The banking subsidiaries also maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments, namely loan commitments, letters of credit and bankers acceptances that is reported as a liability on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet. Provisions are recorded for each reserve. 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 similar to that used for the reserve for loan losses. The Corporation refers 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 reserve is not specifically associated with individual loans or portfolio segments and is therefore available to absorb credit losses arising from any loan or portfolio segment. Management reviews the appropriateness of each reserve at least quarterly and has developed a methodology designed to provide a procedural discipline in assessing the appropriateness of the reserves.
 
Management’s estimate of each reserve component is based on certain observable data that management believes is the most reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated. Changes in the amount of each component are directionally consistent with changes in the observable data and accompanying analysis.
 
A key element of the methodology for determining the level of the reserve for credit losses is the Corporation’s credit risk evaluation process, which includes credit-risk rating of individual commercial loans. Loans are assigned numerical credit risk grades based on the assessment of conditions that affect the borrower’s ability to meet its contractual obligations under the loan agreement. That process includes reviewing borrowers’ current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and other information specific to each borrower.
 
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, management provides a base reserve for commercial facilities which are not impaired. Base rates are used to calculate the base reserve requirements for the portfolio utilizing the numerical credit-risk ratings. These rates are compared with the results of annual studies that are conducted to calculate actual historical loss experience and adjusted if appropriate. Base reserve rates increase concomitantly with credit risk, as measured by the numerical ratings, in order to reflect the higher expected loss experience for each of these similar risk-rated loans. These base reserve rates are applied to all non-impaired commercial loan balances.
 
In accordance with FAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, any required impairment reserves are included in the reserve for loan losses. Using the Corporation’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 the Corporation’s collection strategy. There are no base reserves carried on loans classified as impaired.

Table of Contents

Provision and reserves for credit exposure (continued)

In addition, to determine reserve adequacy, management analyzes historical experience and considers levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and nonaccruals; trends in portfolio volume, quality, maturity, and composition; portfolio and market concentrations; general economic conditions and other current factors that may impact inherent losses.
 
The Corporation’s reserve for credit losses and reserve for unfunded commitments are solely an estimate based on management’s judgement. Due to the significance of management’s judgement used to calculate the Corporation’s reserves, actual losses incurred could be higher or lower than the estimated reserves. When losses on specific loans or commitments are identified, management charges-off the portion deemed uncollectible.
 
The allocation of the Corporation’s reserve for credit exposure is presented below. This allocation is judgmental, and the entire reserve for credit exposure is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the type of loss.

As shown on the table on page 70, net credit losses totaled $115 million in the third quarter of 2002, of which $104 million was on loans to two customers associated with allegations of accounting irregularities. Of the $104 million of credit losses, $85 million was recorded on a $100 million loan to WorldCom, Inc. The remainder resulted from the sale of $108 million of loans made to a customer in the cable/media industry, which eliminated all exposure to that customer. In the second quarter of 2002, approximately $120 million of the $140 million provision for loan losses and $1 million of the $20 million provision for unfunded loan commitments related to credit exposure to customers associated with allegations of accounting irregularities, including the two noted above. The remaining $20 million provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2002 primarily related to downgrades of shared national credits. The remaining $19 million provision for unfunded commitments resulted from an increase in estimated inherent probable losses in loan commitments where under current market conditions there is an increased probability that the unfunded commitments will be drawn. At Sept. 30, 2002, $52 million was reserved for unfunded commitments, resulting in a total reserve for credit exposure of $179 million at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with $293 million at June 30, 2002, and $220 million at Sept. 30, 2001.

Provision and reserves for credit exposure (continued)

The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.36% at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with 2.47% at June 30, 2002, and 1.89% at Sept. 30, 2001. The reserve as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 188% at Sept. 30, 2002, 138% at June 30, 2002, and 153% at Sept. 30, 2001. These ratios at Sept. 30, 2002, compared with June 30, 2002, were impacted by the $85 million of credit losses recorded on the loan to WorldCom, Inc., discussed previously. The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to total loans and the ratio of the reserve to nonperforming loans are products of the reserve calculation methodology which estimates appropriate reserves for each component of the loan portfolio. The resulting ratios are benchmarks, but not targets. The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to nonperforming loans is an outcome of two interrelated but separate processes: the establishment of an appropriate loan loss reserve level for the portfolio as a whole, including the nonperforming component in the portfolio; and the classification of certain assets as nonperforming in accordance with established accounting, regulatory and management policies. While the level of nonperforming loans is an indication of the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio, there is no direct correlation between the level of nonperforming loans and the size of the reserve for loan losses. The Corporation’s management concluded that, at Sept. 30, 2002, the overall reserve level was appropriate to recognize inherent losses in the remaining higher quality loan portfolio. The Audit Committee of the board of directors concurred.

Nonperforming assets

Nonperforming assets is a term used to describe assets on which revenue recognition has been suspended or is restricted. Nonperforming assets include both nonperforming loans and acquired property, primarily other real estate owned (OREO), acquired in connection with the collection effort on loans. Additional information regarding the Corporation’s practices for placing assets on nonaccrual status is presented in the “Nonperforming assets” discussion and in Note 1 in the Corporation’s 2001 Financial Annual Report to Shareholders.
 
Nonperforming assets decreased $107 million compared with June 30, 2002, and $57 million compared with Sept. 30, 2001. As shown on the table on the following page, the decrease compared with June 30, 2002, primarily resulted from the $85 million writedown of a $100 million loan to WorldCom, Inc., as well as from loan sales, repayments and credit losses. In addition, the Corporation sold $108 million of loans made to a customer in the cable/media industry, as discussed on page 68, on which a credit loss of $19 million was recorded, and $5 million of which had been on nonperforming status at June 30, 2002. Finally, the Corporation sold its remaining interest in a $5 million loan to a major consumer goods retailer on which a credit loss of $2 million was recorded. Of the $69 million balance of total nonperforming assets at Sept. 30, 2002, $39 million was to a California-based electric and natural gas utility company that voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the second quarter of 2001, $15 million was the remaining balance of the loan to WorldCom, Inc. and $15 million consisted of various smaller loans, the largest of which was $6 million.

The table below presents the amount of loans that were 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest. Loans 90 days or more past due that are not classified as nonaccrual loans, were either well secured and in the process of collection or were non-real estate secured consumer loans that are automatically charged off upon reaching various stages of delinquency, generally 120 days past due. Real estate secured consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status upon reaching 180 days past due.

Critical accounting policies

 
The Corporation’s accounting policies relating to venture capital investments, the reserve for credit exposure, and accounting for pensions are regarded as critical accounting policies in that they involve significant management valuation judgements. For a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to venture capital investments, see page 19 of the Corporation’s 2001 Financial Annual Report. For a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies relating to the reserve for credit exposure, see pages 67 and 68 of this report. See below for a discussion of the Corporation’s accounting policies related to pensions.
 
The Corporation follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, to calculate and record its net periodic benefit cost/(credit). The net periodic benefit cost/(credit) calculation is based, in part, on several assumptions including a discount rate for plan liabilities, an expected return on assets, and a rate of compensation increase. The net credit in 2001 for all funded and unfunded pension plans combined was $120 million pre-tax. The net periodic pension benefit credit for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2002 was $75 million and is expected to be $100 million pre-tax for the full-year 2002. Assuming no changes in assumptions, and reflecting the decline in asset values of the Corporation’s

Critical accounting policies (continued)

 
plans from Dec. 31, 2001, to Sept. 30, 2002, the net periodic benefit credit would decrease to approximately $70 million pre-tax for the year 2003. At Sept. 30, 2002, the combined fair value of the Corporation’s two principal funded domestic pension plans was $1.264 billion and was invested approximately 65% in equities, 33% in fixed income and 2% in cash and equivalents. The impact of the Corporation’s non-US plans, which had a combined fair value of approximately $80 million at Dec. 31, 2001, on changes in net periodic benefit costs, is not material. The assumptions used to calculate net periodic benefit costs for 2002 and their estimated sensitivities to a 50 bp change are as follows:

Bracketed amounts indicate an increase in the pension credit.
 
While the return on plan assets for the Corporation’s funded pension plans has averaged 11% since Sept. 30, 1992, based on the current levels of the equity markets, expectations for future market appreciation and interest rates, the Corporation expects its assumptions for the expected return on plan assets and the discount rate to decline for 2003. The Corporation will determine its actuarial assumptions for 2003, as well as incorporating the actual level of plan assets at Dec. 31, 2002, during the first quarter of 2003.
 
 
Item 4.—Controls and Procedures

 
The Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There were no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 
Item 1. 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 operations and include suits relating to its lending, collections, servicing, investment, mutual fund, advisory, trust, custody, benefits consulting, shareholder services, cash management and other activities and operations. Because of 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, results of operations and cash flows.
