Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Basis of presentation	Note 1 Basis of presentation The accounting and financial reporting policies of BNY Mellon, a global financial services company, conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and prevailing industry practices. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions about future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that in the near term, actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and lending-related commitments, goodwill and intangible assets, pension accounting, the fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairments. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments as well as increased pension and post-retirement expense. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. Certain other immaterial reclassifications in addition to discontinued operations (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with current period presentation.

Accounting changes and new acco

Accounting changes and new accounting guidance
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Accounting changes and new accounting guidance	Note 2 Accounting changes and new accounting guidance ASU 2009-16 - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This formally codified SFAS No.166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment to FASB Statement No.140. This ASU removed (1)the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) from SFAS No.140 (ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing) and (2)the exceptions from applying FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46 (R)(ASC 810 - Consolidation) to QSPEs. This ASU revised the derecognition requirements for transfers of financial assets and the initial measurement of beneficial interests that are received as proceeds by a transferor in connection with transfers of financial assets. This ASU also required additional disclosure about transfers of financial assets and a transferors continuing involvement with such transferred financial assets. This ASU was effective Jan. 1, 2010, at which time any QSPEs were evaluated for consolidation in accordance with SFAS No.167, which amended FIN 46 (R)(ASC 810). Accordingly, the Grantor Trust into which we securitized certain of our investment securities no longer qualifies as a QSPE, resulting in $394 million being added to both our investment securities portfolio and liabilities at March31, 2010. ASU 2009-17 Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17 Improvements to Financial Reporting by Entities Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This formally codified SFAS No.167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.46 (R). This ASU amended FIN 46 (R)(ASC 810) to require ongoing assessments to determine whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) and whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This ASU also amended the guidance for determining which enterprise, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by requiring the enterprise to initially perform a qualitative analysis to determine if the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest. Consolidation is based on a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. If a company has control and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses which could potentially be significant to the VIE, then consolidation is required. This ASU was effective Jan. 1, 2010 and primarily impacts our asset management businesses. This ASU does not change the economic risk related to these businesses and therefore, BNY Mellons computation of economic capital required by our businesses will not change. This statement also requires additional disclosures about an enterprises involvement in a VIE, including the requirement for sponsors of a VIE to disclose information even if they do not hold a significant variable interest in the VIE. At March31, 2010, our consolidated balance sheet included $13.5 billion of assets of VIEs that would not have been included in our consolidated balance sheet prior to effectiveness of the

Acquisitions and dispositions

Acquisitions and dispositions
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Acquisitions and dispositions	Note 3 Acquisitions and dispositions There were no material acquisitions or dispositions completed in the first quarter of 2010. On Jan. 15, 2010, we completed the sale of MUNB. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We sometimes structure our acquisitions with both an initial payment and later contingent payments tied to post-closing revenue or income growth. For acquisitions completed prior to Jan. 1, 2009, we record the fair value of contingent payments as an additional cost of the entity acquired in the period that the payment becomes probable. For acquisitions completed after Jan. 1, 2009, subsequent changes in the fair value of a contingent consideration liability will be recorded through the income statement. No material contingent payments were made in the first quarter of 2010. At March31, 2010, we were potentially obligated to pay additional consideration which, using reasonable assumptions for the performance of the acquired companies and joint ventures based on contractual agreements, could range from approximately $80 million to $130 million over the next four years. Acquisition in 2009 In November 2009, we acquired Insight Investment Management Limited (Insight) for 235million ($377 million of cash and stock). Insight specializes in liability-driven investment solutions, active fixed income and alternative investments. Insight had $138 billion in assets under management at acquisition. Goodwill related to this acquisition is non-tax deductible and totaled $202 million. Intangible assets (primarily customer contracts) related to the transaction, with a life up to 11 years, totaled $111 million. The impact of this acquisition is not expected to be material to earnings per share in 2010.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Discontinued operations	Note 4 Discontinued operations On Jan. 15, 2010, BNY Mellon sold MUNB, its national bank subsidiary located in Florida. We have applied discontinued operations accounting to this business. The income statements for all periods in this Form 10-Q are presented on a continuing operations basis. This business, which was previously reported in the Other segment, no longer fit our strategic focus on our asset management and securities servicing businesses. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded an after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $42 million primarily reflecting the lower of cost or market write-downs on the retained loans held for sale. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations is as follows: Discontinued operations Quarter ended (in millions) March31, 2010 Dec.31, 2009 March31, 2009 Fee and other revenue $ - $ 2 $ 2 Net interest revenue 3 12 17 Provision for credit losses - 83 21 Net interest revenue after provision for credit losses 3 (71 ) (4 ) Noninterest expense: Staff 2 12 6 Professional, legal and other purchased services 1 1 1 Net occupancy - 1 1 Other 1 1 5 Goodwill impairment - - 50 Total noninterest expense 4 15 63 Income (loss) from operations (1 ) (84 ) (65 ) Loss on sale of MUNB (1 ) - - Loss on assets held for sale (68 ) (99 ) - Provision (benefit) for income taxes (28 ) (64 ) (24 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (42 ) $ (119 ) $ (41 ) Discontinued operations assets and liabilities (in millions) March31, 2010 Dec.31, 2009 Cash and due from banks $ - $ 446 Securities - 488 Loans, net of allowance for loan losses 261 1,225 Premises and equipment - 12 Other assets 73 71 Assets of discontinued operations $ 334 $ 2,242 Deposits: Noninterest-bearing $ - $ 539 Interest-bearing - 958 Total deposits - 1,497 Other liabilities - 111 Liabilities of discontinued operations $ - $ 1,608 All information in these Financial Statements and Notes reflects continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

This strategy includes migrating positions to our global growth centers and is expected to result in moving and/or eliminating over 2,300 positions in 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $139 million. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded additional charges of $7 million associated with the global location strategy. As of March31, 2010, we have moved or eliminated approximately 200 positions. Severance payments related to these positions are primarily paid over the salary continuance period in accordance with the separation plan. Workforce reduction program In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced that, due to weakness in the global economy, we would reduce our workforce by an estimated 1,800 positions, and as a result, recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $181 million. In 2009, we recorded additional charges of $11 million associated with this workforce reduction. As of March31, 2010, we have reduced our workforce by approximately 1,600 positions, and expect to substantially complete the remainder of the program in the second quarter of 2010. Severance payments related to these positions are primarily paid over the salary continuance period in accordance with the separation plan.

Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the FASB approved ASU 2010-10 Amendments for Certain Investment Funds which defers the requirements of ASU 2009-17 for asset managers interests in entities that apply the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies or that have the attributes of investment companies and for interests in money market funds. Accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs applies to certain entities in which the equity investors: do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support, lack one or more of the following characteristics of a controlling financial interest: - The power through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance (ASU 2009-17 model). - The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entitys activities through voting rights or similar rights (ASC 810 model). - The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. - The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. BNY Mellons VIEs generally include retail, institutional and alternative investment funds offered to its retail and institutional customers in which it acts as the funds investment manager. BNY Mellon earns management fees on these funds as well as performance fees in certain funds. It may also provide start-up capital in its new funds. These VIEs are included in the scope of ASU 2010-10 and are reviewed for consolidation based on the guidance in ASC 810. BNY Mellon applies ASC 810 to its mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, collective investment funds and real estate investment trusts. If these entities are determined to be VIEs, primary beneficiary calculations are prepared in accordance with ASC 810 to determine whether or not BNY Mellon is the primary beneficiary and required to consolidate the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns or both, as a result of holding variable interests. The primary beneficiary calculations include estimates of ranges and probabilities of losses and returns from the funds. The calculated expected gains and expected losses are allocated to the variable interest holders of the funds, which are generally the funds investors and which may include BNY Mellon, in order to determine which entity is required to consolidate the VIE, if any. BNY Mellon has other VIEs, including securitization trusts, which are no longer considered QSPEs, and special investment vehicles (SIVs), in which BNY Mellon serves as the investment manager and may hold a subordinated interest in the SIVs.

Fair value of financial instruments
	3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2010
Fair value of financial instruments	Note 14 Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of our financial instruments (i.e., monetary assets and liabilities) are determined under different accounting methods - see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in BNY Mellons 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following disclosure discusses these instruments on a uniform fair value basis. However, active markets do not exist for a significant portion of these instruments, principally loans and commitments. As a result, fair value determinations require significant subjective judgments regarding future cash flows. Other judgments would result in different fair values. Among the assumptions we used are discount rates ranging principally from 0.15% to 6.08% at March31, 2010 and 0.05% to 6.27% at Dec. 31, 2009. The fair value information supplements the basic financial statements and other traditional financial data presented throughout this report. Note 15, Fair value measurement presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value by the three level valuation hierarchy established under ASC 820, as well as a roll forward schedule of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. A summary of the practices used for determining fair value is as follows. Interest-bearing deposits with banks The fair value of interest-bearing deposits with banks is based on discounted cash flows. Securities, trading activities, and derivatives used for ALM The fair value of securities and trading assets and liabilities is based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, or pricing models. Fair value amounts for derivative instruments, such as options, futures and forward rate contracts, commitments to purchase and sell foreign exchange, and foreign currency swaps, are similarly determined. The fair value of over-the-counter interest rate swaps is the discounted value of projected future cash flows, adjusted for other factors including, but not limited to and if applicable, optionality and implied volatilities, as well as counterparty credit. Loans and commitments For residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, adjusting where appropriate for prepayment estimates, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and maturities to borrowers. To determine the fair value of other types of loans, BNY Mellon uses discounted cash flows using current market rates. The fair value of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit is based upon the cost to settle the commitment. Other financial assets Fair value is assumed to equal carrying value for these assets due to their short maturity. Deposits, borrowings and long-term debt The fair value of noninterest-bearing deposits and payables to customers and broker-dealers is assumed to be their carrying amount. The fair value of interest-bearing deposits, borrowings, and long-term debt is based upon current rates for instruments of the same remaining maturity or quoted market prices for the same or similar issues.

Fair value measurement	Note 15 Fair value measurement The guidance related to Fair Value Measurement, included in ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and expands the disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. ASC 820 requires consideration of a companys own creditworthiness when valuing liabilities. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The objective is to determine from weighted indicators of fair value a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. Determination of fair value Following is a description of our valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. We have established processes for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. For financial instruments where quotes from recent exchange transactions are not available, we determine fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis, comparison to similar instruments, and the use of financial models. Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon estimated future cash flows and the level of interest rates. Model-based pricing uses inputs of observable prices for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, option volatilities and other factors. Models are benchmarked and validated by an independent internal risk management function. Our valuation process takes into consideration factors such as counterparty credit quality, liquidity, concentration concerns, observability of model parameters and the results of stress tests. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Most derivative contracts are valued using internally developed models which are calibrated to observable market data and employ standard market pricing theory for their valuations. An initial risk-neutral valuation is performed on each position assuming time-discounting based on an AA credit curve. Then, to arrive at a fair value that incorporates counterparty credit risk, a credit adjustment is made to these results by discounting each trades expected exposures to the counterparty using the counterpartys credit spreads, as

Derivative instruments	Note 16 Derivative instruments We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, to generate profits from proprietary trading and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The notional amounts for derivative financial instruments express the dollar volume of the transactions; however, credit risk is much smaller. We perform credit reviews and enter into netting agreements to minimize the credit risk of foreign currency and interest rate risk management products. We enter into offsetting positions to reduce exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk. Use of derivative financial instruments involves reliance on counterparties. Failure of a counterparty to honor its obligation under a derivative contract is a risk we assume whenever we engage in a derivative contract. There were no counterparty default losses in the first quarter of 2010 or in the first quarter of 2009. Hedging derivatives We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. For hedges of fixed-rate loans, asset-backed securities, deposits and long-term debt, the hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged items and the interest rate swaps and indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed-rate item and is a fair value hedge, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to changes in benchmark interest rates, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting fixed-rate interest payments to LIBOR. The fixed rate loans hedged generally have an original maturity of 10 to 11 years and are not callable. These loans are hedged with pay fixed rate, receive variable rate swaps with similar notional amounts, maturities, and fixed rate coupons. The swaps are not callable. At March31, 2010, $1 million of loans were hedged with interest rate swaps, which had notional values of $1 million. The securities hedged generally have a weighted average life of 10 years or less and are callable six months prior to maturity. These securities are hedged with pay fixed rate, receive variable rate swaps of the same maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. The swaps are callable six months prior to maturity. At March31, 2010, $210 million of securities were hedged with interest rate swaps that had notional values of $210 million. The fixed rate deposits hedged generally have original maturities of 5 to 11 years and are not callable. These deposits are hedged with receive fixed rate, pay variable rate swaps of similar maturity, repricing and fixed rate coupon. The swaps are not callable. At March31, 2010, $25 million of deposits were hedged with interest rate swaps that had notional values of $25 million. The fixed rate long-term debt hedged generally has an original maturity of 5 to 30 years. We issue both callable and non-callable debt. The non-callable debt is hedged with simple interest rate swaps similar to those described for deposits. Callable debt is hedged with callable swaps where the call dates of the swaps exactly match the call dates of the debt. At March31, 2010, $12.0

Business segments	Note 18 Business segments Our segment data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the segments will track their economic performance. Segment results are subject to reclassification whenever improvements are made in the measurement principles or when organizational changes are made. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in BNY Mellons 2009 Annual Report on Form10-K. In addition, client deposits serve as the primary funding source for our investment securities portfolio and we typically allocate all interest revenue to the businesses generating the deposits. Accordingly, the higher yield related to the restructured investment securities portfolio has been included in the segment results. For additional information on our business segments, see Note28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in BNY Mellons 2009 Annual Report on Form10-K. The following consolidating schedules show the contribution of our segments to our overall profitability. Business segments are reported on a continuing operations basis for all periods presented.
