capabilities to provide investment advisory and asset management capabilities
for a wide range of institutional and retail customers. BlackRock contributed 5%
of total business earnings in 1999 compared with 4% in 1998. Earnings increased
67% in the comparison as a result of significant new business. To provide a

a result of an increase in assets and accounts serviced. PFPC completed the
acquisition of First Data Investor Services Group ("ISG") on December 1, 1999.
Results for 1999 include one month of activity for ISG.

OTHER - Other reflects differences between total business results and
consolidated core financial results primarily due to differences between
management accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles,
divested businesses, equity management activities, minority interests,
eliminations and unassigned items. During 1999 there was a repositioning of the
corporate, commercial real estate and mortgage warehouse lending portfolios. The
results of exited activities related to this strategic initiative are included
in Other for all periods presented.
