Item 1. Business

The business of State Street Corporation and its subsidiaries is further
described in the "Financial Review" section of State Street Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Stockholders, which section comprises Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation; such description,
information and analysis is included in Exhibit 13 of this report and is
incorporated by reference.


General Development of Business

State Street Corporation ("State Street" or the "Corporation") is a bank
holding company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and is one of the world's leading specialists in serving institutional
investors. State Street provides a full range of products and services for
portfolios of investment assets.

State Street was organized in 1970 and conducts its business principally
through its subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street
Bank" or the "Bank"), and traces its beginnings to the founding of the Union
Bank in 1792. The charter under which State Street Bank now operates was
authorized by a special act of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1891, and its
present name was adopted in 1960.

State Street is a market leader in the businesses on which it focuses, services
for institutional investors and investment management, with $6.0 trillion of
assets under custody and $667 billion of assets under management at year-end
1999. Customers include mutual funds and other collective investment funds,
corporate and public pension funds, corporations, unions and not-for-profit
organizations in and outside of the United States. For information as to
non-U.S. activities, refer to Note W that appears in the Notes to Financial
Statements in State Street's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. Such
information is incorporated by reference.

Services are provided from 27 offices in the United States, and from offices in
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New
Zealand, People's Republic of China, Russia, Singapore, South Korea,
Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. State
Street's executive offices are located at 225 Franklin Street, Boston,
Massachusetts.


Lines of Business

State Street reports three lines of business: Services for Institutional
Investors, Investment Management and Commercial Lending. In 1999, 70% of
operating revenue came from Services for Institutional Investors, 23% came from
Investment Management and 7% came from Commercial Lending. For additional
information on State Street's lines of business, see pages 20 through 22 of
State Street's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, under the caption "Lines of
Business", which information is incorporated by reference.

Services for Institutional Investors. Services for Institutional Investors
includes accounting, custody, daily pricing and information services for
investment portfolios. Customers around the world include mutual funds and
other collective investment funds, corporate and public pension plans,
corporations, investment managers, not-for-profit organizations, unions and
other holders of investment assets. Institutional investors are offered State
Street services, including foreign exchange, cash management, securities
lending, fund administration, daily pricing, portfolio accounting,
recordkeeping, banking services, and deposit and short-term investment
facilities. These services support institutional investors in developing and
executing their strategies, enhancing their returns, and evaluating and
managing risk.

With $2.8 trillion of mutual fund assets under custody, State Street is the
largest mutual fund custodian and accounting agent in the United States. State
Street began providing mutual fund services in 1924. Customers who sponsor the
U.S. mutual funds that State Street services include investment companies,
broker/dealers, insurance companies and others. In addition, State Street
services offshore mutual funds and collective investment funds in non-U.S.
locations.

State Street is distinct from other mutual fund service providers because
customers make extensive use of a number of related services in addition to
custody, including fund accounting and administration, daily pricing,
accounting for multiple classes of shares, master/feeder accounting, securities
lending, performance and analytics, compliance monitoring and services for
offshore funds and local funds in locations outside the United States.
Shareholder services are provided through a 50% owned affiliate, Boston
Financial Data Services, Inc.


1
Item 1. Business (continued)

State Street began servicing pension assets in 1974, and now has $2.7 trillion
of pension, insurance and other investment pool assets under custody for U.S.
customers. State Street has a leading share of the market for servicing U.S.
tax-exempt assets for corporate and public funds in the United States. Services
include global custody, portfolio accounting, daily pricing, securities
lending, performance and analytics, information and other related services for
retirement plans and other financial asset portfolios of corporations, public
funds, investment managers, not-for-profit organizations, unions and others.
State Street provides global and U.S. custody and custody-related services for
$514 billion in assets for customers outside the United States.

State Street provides foreign exchange services to institutional investors
worldwide. These services include currency trading and research, risk
management and electronic execution services. State Street is a securities
lending agent providing collateral management and lending of securities issued
in 31 countries, acting as agent between institutional investors and
broker/dealers worldwide. State Street also provides repurchase agreements and
deposit services for the short-term cash needs associated with customers'
investment activities. Trading and arbitrage operations are conducted with
government securities and other financial instruments.

Investment Management. State Street was a pioneer in the development of U.S.
and international index funds. State Street provides an extensive range of
investment management services, including investment management for
corporations, public funds and other institutional investors; administration
and investment services for defined contribution and other employee benefit
programs; and investment management and other financial services for
high-net-worth individuals. These services are offered through State Street
Global Advisors ("SSgA[RegTM]"). SSgA offers a broad array of investment
strategies, including passive, enhanced and active management using
quantitative and fundamental methods for both global equities and global fixed
income securities. SSgA is a leading trustee and money manager for individuals.
At year-end 1999, institutional and personal trust assets under management
totaled $667 billion. Additionally, SSgA provides recordkeeping and other
services attendant to its investment management activities, including services
for 2.9 million defined contribution plan participants as of year-end 1999.
SSgA has offices worldwide, including offices in the following cities: Boston,
Brussels, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Montpellier, Montreal, Moscow, Munich,
Paris, Prague, Santiago, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Zurich. In the United
States, SSgA is the largest manager of tax-exempt assets, the third largest
manager of defined contribution plan assets and the third largest manager of
total assets. Globally, SSgA is the seventh largest manager of total assets.

Commercial Lending. State Street provides lending and other banking services
for institutional investors, including cash management and deposit services and
lease financing. Through September 30, 1999, Commercial Lending also included
lending activities and other commercial banking business services for regional,
middle-market companies and companies in selected industries. On October 1,
1999, State Street completed the sale of its commercial banking business. See
Note B to the Notes to Financial Statements in State Street's 1999 Annual
Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated by reference.


Competition

State Street operates in a highly competitive environment in all areas of its
business on a worldwide basis, including services to institutional investors
and investment management. State Street faces competition from other
deposit-taking institutions, investment management firms, private trustees,
insurance companies, mutual funds, broker/dealers, investment banking firms,
law firms, benefits consultants, leasing companies, and business service and
software companies. As State Street expands globally, additional sources of
competition are encountered.

State Street believes there are certain key competitive considerations in these
markets, specifically, for asset servicing: quality of service, efficiencies of
scale, technological expertise, quality and scope of sales and marketing, and
price; and for investment management: expertise, experience, the availability
of related service offerings, and price.

State Street's competitive success depends upon its ability to develop and
market new and innovative services; to adopt or develop new technologies to
bring new services to market in a timely fashion at competitive prices; and to
continue and expand its relationships with existing and new customers.


Employees

At December 31, 1999, State Street had 17,213 employees, of whom 16,769 were
full-time.

Item 1. Business (continued)

Regulation and Supervision

General. State Street is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") as a bank holding company pursuant
to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The Act, with
certain exceptions, limits the activities that may be engaged in by State
Street and its non-bank subsidiaries, which includes non-bank companies for
which State Street owns or controls more than 5% of a class of voting shares,
to those which are deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related
to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
The Federal Reserve Board may order a bank holding company to terminate any
activity or its ownership or control of a non-bank subsidiary if the Federal
Reserve Board finds that such activity or ownership or control constitutes a
serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary
bank and is inconsistent with sound banking principles or statutory purposes.
In the opinion of management, all of State Street's present subsidiaries are
within the statutory standard or are otherwise permissible. The Act also
requires a bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank or
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank. A recent
federal law reduces to some extent the restrictions on activities of certain
bank holding companies, such as State Street, which qualify as financial
holding companies. See "Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999" below.

Capital Adequacy. Bank holding companies, such as State Street, are subject to
Federal Reserve Board risk-based capital and minimum leverage ratio guidelines.
At December 31, 1999, State Street's consolidated Tier 1 capital and total
capital ratios were both 14.7%. For further information as to the Corporation's
capital position and capital adequacy, refer to the Liquidity and Capital
Resources portion of the Financial Review section, which section comprises
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation, and to Note K to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
which appear in State Street's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. Such
information is incorporated by reference.

State Street Bank is subject to similar risk-based and leverage capital
requirements. State Street Bank was in compliance with the applicable minimum
capital requirements as of December 31, 1999. Failure to meet capital
requirements could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement actions,
including the termination of deposit insurance by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), and to certain restrictions on its business, which
are described further in this section.

Subsidiaries. The primary federal banking agency responsible for regulating
State Street and its subsidiaries, including State Street Bank, for both U.S.
and international operations is the Federal Reserve System. State Street is
also subject to the Massachusetts bank holding company statute. The
Massachusetts statute requires prior approval by the Massachusetts Board of
Bank Incorporation for the acquisition by State Street of more than 5% of the
voting shares of any additional bank and for other forms of bank acquisitions.

State Street's banking subsidiaries are subject to supervision and examination
by various regulatory authorities. State Street Bank is a member of the Federal
Reserve System and the FDIC and is subject to applicable federal and state
banking laws and to supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston, as well as by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC, and
the regulatory authorities of those countries in which a branch of State Street
Bank is located. Other subsidiary trust companies are subject to supervision
and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, other offices
of the Federal Reserve System or by the appropriate state banking regulatory
authorities of the states in which they are located. State Street's non-U.S.
banking subsidiaries are also subject to regulation by the regulatory
authorities of the countries in which they are located. The capital of each of
these banking subsidiaries is in excess of the minimum legal capital
requirements as set by those authorities.

State Street and its non-bank subsidiaries are affiliates of State Street Bank
under the federal banking laws, which impose certain restrictions on transfers
of funds in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or asset
purchases by State Street Bank to State Street and its non-bank subsidiaries.
Transfers of this kind to State Street and its non-bank subsidiaries by State
Street Bank are limited to 10% of State Street Bank's capital and surplus with
respect to each affiliate and to 20% in the aggregate, and are subject to
certain collateral requirements. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries
are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with
any extension of credit or lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.
Federal law also provides that certain transactions with affiliates must be on
terms and under circumstances, including credit standards that are
substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions involving other
non-qualified companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms
and under circumstances, including credit standards, that in good faith would
be offered to, or would apply to, nonaffiliated companies. The Federal Reserve
Board has jurisdiction to regulate the terms of certain debt issues of bank
holding companies.


3
Item 1. Business (continued)

Support of Subsidiary Banks. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding
company is required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to
its subsidiary banks. Under this policy, State Street is expected to commit
resources to its subsidiary banks in circumstances where it might not do so
absent such policy. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any
commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to
maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy
trustee and entitled to a priority payment.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. In 1999, major financial services modernization
legislation, known as the "Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999", ("GLBA"), became
law. GLBA lifts the Glass-Steagall Act prohibitions on banks associating with,
or having management interlocks with, business organizations engaged in
securities activities. By electing to become a "financial holding company", a
bank holding company may acquire new powers not otherwise available to it. In
order to qualify, each bank holding company's depository subsidiaries must be
well capitalized and well managed, and must be meeting its Community
Reinvestment Act obligations. Once qualified as a financial holding company, a
bank holding company must continue to meet the applicable capital and
management standards. Failure to maintain such standards may ultimately permit
the Federal Reserve Board to take certain enforcement action against such
company. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act and the availability of new
powers both are effective on or after March 12, 2000. State Street became a
financial holding company on March 13, 2000.

Financial holding companies are permitted to engage in those activities that
are determined by the Federal Reserve Board, working with the Secretary of the
Treasury, to be financial in nature, incidental to an activity that is
financial in nature, or complementary to a financial activity and that does not
pose a safety and soundness risk. GLBA defines certain activities as financial
in nature, including, but not limited to, the following: providing financial or
investment advice; underwriting, dealing in or making markets in securities;
merchant banking, subject to significant limitations; and any activities
previously found by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking.
A company that is predominantly engaged in financial activities but is not a
bank holding company may, if it becomes a bank holding company and thereby also
a financial holding company, continue to engage in or retain a subsidiary
engaging in those nonfinancial activities in which the company or its
subsidiary was lawfully engaged on September 30, 1999, but it may not expand
those grandfathered activities or initiate new nonfinancial activities. Such
grandfathering is available for up to fifteen years.

GLBA also permits national and state banks (subject to capital, management,
size, debt rating, and Community Reinvestment Act qualification factors) to
have "financial subsidiaries" that are permitted to engage in financial
activities not otherwise permissible. However, unlike financial holding
companies, financial subsidiaries may not engage in insurance underwriting,
developing or investing in real estate, merchant banking (for at least five
years) or insurance portfolio investing.


Dividends

As a bank holding company, State Street is a legal entity separate and distinct
from State Street Bank and its non-bank subsidiaries. The right of State Street
to participate as a stockholder in any distribution of assets of State Street
Bank upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the
prior claims by creditors of State Street Bank, including obligations for
federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and
deposit liabilities. Payment of dividends by State Street Bank is subject to
provisions of the Massachusetts banking law which provides that dividends may
be paid out of net profits provided (i) capital stock and surplus remain
unimpaired, (ii) dividend and retirement fund requirements of any preferred
stock have been met, (iii) surplus equals or exceeds capital stock, and (iv)
there are deducted from net profits any losses and bad debts, as defined, in
excess of reserves specifically established therefore. Under the Federal
Reserve Act, the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System would be required if dividends declared by the Bank in any year would
exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with retained net
profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus.
Under applicable federal and state law restrictions, at December 31, 1999,
State Street Bank had $1.2 billion of retained earnings available for
distribution to State Street in the form of dividends. Future dividend payments
of the Bank and non-bank subsidiaries cannot be determined at this time.


Economic Conditions and Government Policies

Economic policies of the government and its agencies influence the operating
environment of State Street. Monetary policy conducted by the Federal Reserve
Board directly affects the level of interest rates and overall credit
conditions of the economy. Policy is applied by the Federal Reserve Board
through open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in
reserve requirements for depository institutions, and changes in the discount
rate and availability of borrowing from the Federal Reserve. Government
regulations of banks and bank holding companies are intended primarily for the
protection of depositors of the banks, rather than of the stockholders of the
institutions.

Item 1. Business (continued)

Factors Affecting Future Results

From time to time, information provided by State Street, statements made by its
employees, or information included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-K), may contain statements which
are not historic facts (so-called "forward looking statements"), including
statements about the Corporation's confidence and strategies and its
expectation about revenues and market growth, new technologies, services and
opportunities, and earnings. These statements may be identified by such forward
looking terminology as "expect", "look", "believe", "anticipate", "may",
"will", or similar statements or variations of such terms. These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that may cause such
differences include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in this
section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Each of these factors, and others, are
also discussed from time to time in the Corporation's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including its reports on Form 10-Q.

Cross-border investing. Increases in cross-border investing by customers
worldwide benefit State Street's revenue. Future revenue may increase or
decrease depending upon the extent of increases or decreases in cross-border
investments made by customers or future customers.

Savings rate of individuals. State Street benefits from the savings of
individuals that are invested in mutual funds or in defined contribution plans.
Changes in savings rates or investment styles may affect revenue.

Value of worldwide financial markets. As worldwide financial markets increase
or decrease in value, State Street's opportunities to invest and service
financial assets may change. Since a portion of the Corporation's fees are
based on the value of assets under custody and management, fluctuations in
worldwide securities market valuations will affect revenue.

Dynamics of markets served. Changes in markets served, including the growth
rate of U.S. mutual funds, the pace of debt issuance, outsourcing decisions,
and mergers, acquisitions and consolidations among customers and competitors,
can affect revenue. In general, State Street benefits from an increase in the
volume of financial market transactions serviced.

State Street provides services worldwide. Global and regional economic factors
and changes or potential changes in laws and regulations affecting the
Corporation's business, including volatile currencies and changes in monetary
policy, and social and political instability, could affect results of
operations.

Interest rates. Market interest rate levels, the shape of the yield curve and
the direction of interest rate changes affect net interest revenue and
fiduciary compensation from securities lending. All else being equal, in the
short term, State Street's net interest revenue benefits from falling interest
rates and is negatively affected by rising rates because interest-bearing
liabilities reprice sooner than interest-earning assets.

Volatility of currency markets. The degree of volatility in foreign exchange
rates can affect the amount of foreign exchange trading revenue. In general,
State Street benefits from currency volatility.

Pace of pension reform. State Street expects to benefit from worldwide pension
reform that creates additional pools of assets that use custody and related
services and investment management services. The pace of pension reform and
resulting programs including public and private pension schemes may affect the
pace of revenue growth.

Pricing/competition. Future prices the Corporation is able to obtain for its
products may increase or decrease from current levels depending upon demand for
its products, its competitors' activities and the introduction of new products
into the marketplace.

Pace of new business. The pace at which existing and new customers use
additional services and assign additional assets to State Street for management
or custody will affect future results.

Business mix. Changes in business mix, including the mix of U.S. and non-U.S.
business may affect future results.

Rate of technological change. Technological change creates opportunities for
product differentiation and reduced costs, as well as the possibility of
increased expenses. State Street's financial performance depends in part on its
ability to develop and market new and innovative services and to adopt or
develop new technologies that differentiate State Street's products or provide
cost efficiencies.


5
Item 1. Business (continued)

There are risks inherent in this process. These include rapid technological
change in the industry, including the emergence of alternative delivery systems
such as the widespread use of the internet and shortened settlement cycles that
ultimately will result in changes to existing procedures. The Corporation's
ability to access technical and other information from customers, and the
significant and ongoing investments required to bring new services to market in
a timely fashion at competitive prices. Further, there is risk that competitors
may introduce services that could replace or provide lower-cost alternatives to
State Street's services.

State Street uses appropriate trademark, trade secret, copyright and other
proprietary rights procedures to protect its technology, and has applied for a
limited number of patents in connection with certain software programs. The
Corporation believes that patent protection is not a significant competitive
factor and that State Street's success depends primarily upon the technical
expertise and creative abilities of its employees and the ability of the
Corporation to continue to develop, enhance and market its innovative business
processes and systems. However, in the event a third party asserts a claim of
infringement of its proprietary rights, obtained through patents or otherwise,
against the Corporation, State Street may be required to spend significant
resources to defend against such claims, develop a non-infringing program or
process, or obtain a license to the infringed process.

Year-2000 modifications. Certain risks with respect to the impact of the Year
2000 on processing date-sensitive information remain. State Street will
continue to monitor date-sensitive processing.

Acquisitions, alliances and divestitures. Acquisitions of complementary
businesses and technologies, and development of strategic alliances are a part
of State Street's overall business strategy. The Corporation has completed
several acquisitions and alliances in recent years. However, there can be no
assurance that services, technologies, key personnel, and businesses of
acquired companies will be effectively assimilated into State Street's business
or service offerings or that alliances will be successful.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 may cause
changes in the competitive environment in which State Street operates. Such
changes could include, among other things, broadening the scope of activities
of significant competitors, or facilitating consolidation of competitors into
larger, better capitalized companies, offering a wide array of financial
services and products; and attracting large and well-capitalized financial
services companies into activities not previously undertaken but competitive to
the Corporation's traditional businesses. In addition, the Corporation's
ability to engage in new activities may expose it to business risks with which
it has less experience than it has with the business risks associated with its
traditional businesses. Such changes and the ability of the Corporation to
address and adapt to the regulatory and competitive challenges, may effect
future results.

(1) On October 1, 1999, State Street completed the sale of its commercial
banking business. Average balances for l999 include $1.7 billion of
commercial, financial and real estate loans that were sold, and $822
million of interest- and noninterest-bearing deposits that were
transferred as part of the sale.

(2) Amounts reported were with non-U.S. domiciled offices of other banks.

(3) Non-accrual loans are included in the average loan amounts outstanding.
Non-U.S. loans include non-U.S. lease financing.

(4) Net interest margin is taxable-equivalent net interest revenue divided by
average interest-earning assets.


Interest revenue on non-taxable investment securities and loans includes the
effect of taxable-equivalent adjustments, using a federal income tax rate of
35%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal tax
benefit.

-------
Total ..................................................... $ 1,406
=======
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Loans are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the appropriateness of
renewing each loan. State Street does not have a general rollover policy.
Deferred fees included in loans were $7 million and $11 million for years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Unearned revenue included in leases
was $692 million and $700 million for non-U.S. leases, and $201 million and $229
million for U.S. leases, for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.


Non-Accrual Loans

It is State Street's policy to place loans on a non-accrual basis when they
become 60 days past due as to either principal or interest, or when in the
opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely.
Loans eligible for non-accrual, but considered both well secured and in the
process of collection, are treated as exceptions and may be exempted from non-
accrual status. When the loan is placed on non-accrual, the accrual of interest
is discontinued and previously recorded but unpaid interest is reversed and
charged against net interest revenue. Past due loans are loans on which
principal or interest payments are over 90 days delinquent, but where interest
continues to be accrued.

Non-accrual loans totaled $9 million, $12 million, $2 million, $12 million and
$16 million as of December 31, 1999 through 1995, respectively. There were $5
million of non-accrual loans to non-U.S. customers in 1999, none in 1998, less
than $1 million in 1997, $6 million in 1996, and none in 1995.

Past due loans totaled less than $1 million as of December 31, 1999 through
1995. Past due loans included loans to non-U.S. customers for less than $1
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, and none for the years 1996 and 1995.

The interest revenue for 1999, which would have been recorded for the
non-accrual loans is less than $1 million for U.S. and less than $1 million for
non-U.S. loans. The interest revenue that was recorded on non-accrual loans was
less than $1 million for U.S. and non-U.S. loans.

</TABLE>

(1) On October 1, 1999, State Street completed the sale of its commercial
banking business which included the transfer of $36 million of the allowance
for loan loss.

State Street establishes an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable credit
losses. Management's review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
ongoing throughout the year and is based, among other factors, on previous loss
experience, current economic conditions and adverse situations that may affect
the borrowers' ability to repay, timing of future payments, estimated value of
the underlying collateral and the performance of individual credits in relation
to contract terms, and other relevant factors.

While the allowance is established to absorb probable losses inherent in the
total loan portfolio, management allocates the allowance for loan losses to
specific loans, selected portfolio segments and certain off-balance sheet
exposures and commitments. Adversely classified loans in excess of $1 million
are reviewed individually to evaluate risk of loss and assigned a specific
allocation of the allowance. The allocations are based on an assessment of
potential risk of loss and include evaluations of the borrowers' financial
strength, discounted cash flows, collateral, appraisals and guarantees. The
allocations to portfolio segments and off-balance sheet exposures are based on
management's evaluation of relevant factors, including the current level of
problem loans and current economic trends. These allocations are also based on
subjective estimates and management judgment, and are subject to change from
quarter-to-quarter. In addition, a portion of the allowance remains unallocated
as a general reserve for the entire loan portfolio. The general reserve is
based upon such factors as portfolio concentration, historical losses and
current economic conditions.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings for the current period
which is required to maintain the total allowance at a level considered
adequate in relation to the level of risk in the loan portfolio. The provision
for loan losses was $14 million and $17 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively.


11
Item 1. Business (continued)

At December 31, 1999, loans comprised 7% of State Street's assets. State
Street's loan policies limit the size of individual loan exposures to reduce
risk through diversification.

For 1999, net charge-offs were $14 million versus net charge-offs of $16
million in 1998. Net charge-offs for 1999, as a percentage of average loans,
were .22% compared to net charge-offs of .24% for 1998.

At December 31, 1999, total non-performing assets were $13 million, a $3
million decrease from year-end 1998. Non-performing assets include $9 million
and $12 million of non-accrual loans at year-end 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and $4 million of other real estate owned in both 1999 and 1998.

At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $48 million, or 1.12%
of total loans. This compares with an allowance of $84 million, or 1.34% of
total loans a year ago. In 1999, the measures of credit quality continued to be
satisfactory, largely due to favorable U.S. economic conditions. State Street
expects these measures of credit quality to continue to remain satisfactory in
2000. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking
statements due to deterioration in the economic conditions and other unforeseen
factors.


Cross-Border Outstandings

Countries within which State Street has cross-border outstandings (primarily
deposits and letters of credit to banks and other financial institutions) of at
least 1% of its total assets at December 31, were as follows:
