Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—State Street Corporation (Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

State Street Corporation (“State Street” or the “Corporation”) is a financial holding company that provides custody, accounting, daily pricing and administration; master trust and master custody; investment management; trusteeship and recordkeeping; foreign exchange; securities lending; cash management; trading; and information services to clients worldwide. State Street reports two lines of business. Investment Servicing includes custody, accounting, daily pricing and administration; master trust and master custody; trusteeship and recordkeeping; foreign exchange and trading services; securities lending; deposit and short-term investment facilities; lease financing; investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing; and performance, risk and compliance analytics to support institutional investors. Investment Management offers a broad array of services for managing financial assets, including investment management and investment research services for both institutions and individual investors worldwide; these services include active and passive U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed income strategies, and other related services, such as securities lending.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of State Street and its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”).

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of operations of businesses purchased are included from the date of acquisition. Investments in affiliates in which the Corporation has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of State Street and subsidiaries at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and consolidated results of its operations for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, have been made. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information included in State Street’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

The Statement of Condition at December 31, 2002, has been developed from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current method of presentation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from investment servicing, management, securities lending, foreign exchange trading, brokerage and processing are recognized when earned based on contractual terms and are accrued based on estimates, or are recognized as transactions occur or services are provided, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue on interest-earning assets is recognized based on the effective yield of the financial instrument.

Impact of Recent Accounting Announcements

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements of Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Accounting requirements became effective January 1, 2003, and require all guarantees and indemnifications within its scope to be recorded at fair value as liabilities, and the maximum possible loss to the Corporation under these guarantees and indemnifications to be disclosed. State Street has indemnifications related to securities lending clients, certain investment guarantee products, credit enhancements and liquidity facilities, and parent company guarantees of subsidiary’s obligations that fall within the scope of this Interpretation. Each of these guarantees, except the parent company guarantees, is collateralized to some extent, which reduces loss exposure to the Corporation. The liabilities associated with these products are not material to the Corporation.

On January 1, 2003, State Street began expensing stock options using the fair value method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” State Street used the prospective transition method afforded under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment to SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested stock options in each period:

(a) State Street accelerated recognition of $29 million of pre-tax stock option ($19 million post-tax) expense in the second quarter of 2003 in connection with its restructuring. See Note 12 for further details.

A total of 394,000 and 873,000 options were exercised during the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, with a weighted average option price of $31.70 and $24.26 per share, respectively. During the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2003, 4,211,000 and 4,271,000 options were granted, with a weighted average option price of $45.12 and $45.01 per share, respectively.

On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” On October 8, 2003, the FASB issued a statement that deferred application of FIN 46 until December 31, 2003. For companies that had consolidated variable interest entities under FIN 46 prior to October 8, 2003, early adoption is

allowed. State Street applied the rules of the interpretation to certain variable interest entities effective July 1, 2003. It was determined that two investments, previously accounted for under the equity method, needed to be consolidated. The impact of consolidating these entities was not material to the financial statements of the Corporation. State Street is still evaluating other off-balance sheet entities. After restructuring of certain contractual obligations in the asset-backed commercial paper program, which is not reflected in the financial statements of State Street, consolidation of these entities is not required under existing guidance. Upon adoption of FIN 46, the Corporation will have to deconsolidate the trusts which issue these Trust Preferred Capital Securities. The impact of deconsolidating the trusts will be an increase in other assets and long-term debt of $31 million. State Street will continue to monitor the application of FIN 46, and additional actions may be taken.

On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 provides criteria for when a contract with an initial net investment should be classified as a derivative, as discussed in SFAS No. 133. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies circumstances requiring special reporting in the statement of cash flows for a derivative with a financing component. SFAS No. 149 is effective on a prospective basis for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Application of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation.

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement requires certain freestanding financial instruments be classified as liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Condition that were classified as equity under previous guidance. This statement does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The majority of the statement is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, with the remainder effective at the first day of the interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Application of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation. The FASB has decided to defer certain provisions of the statement as they apply to mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. These provisions include the requirement that ownership interests in finite-lived entities, such as trusts which issue Trust Preferred Securities, be classified as liabilities. State Street currently has Trust Preferred Securities of approximately $1 billion and ownership interests in the trusts of approximately $31 million.

Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures

In June 2003, State Street entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Private Asset Management business to U.S. Trust for approximately $365 million. This transaction was completed on October 31, 2003. See Note 20 for further details.

On January 31, 2003, State Street completed the primary closing of its acquisition of a substantial part of the Global Securities Services (“GSS”) business of Deutsche Bank AG for approximately $1.1 billion. Separate closings for the acquisitions of business units in Italy and Austria were held upon receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. On July 1, 2003, State Street completed the acquisition of the Italian business units of GSS, and on July 31, 2003, completed the acquisition of the Austrian units of the business. The purchase price is subject to adjustments based upon performance of the acquired businesses on the one-year anniversary of the closing. State Street could make additional payments of up to an estimated €360 million that will be recorded as an adjustment to the goodwill acquired. During the second quarter of 2003, State Street reduced the original purchase price

Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures (continued)

goodwill by $48 million for a purchase price adjustment related to revenue estimates made for the period prior to closing.

State Street financed $595 million of the initial purchase price through issuance to the public of equity, equity-related and capital securities to the public under an existing shelf registration statement. In January 2003, State Street issued $345 million, or 7.2 million shares of common stock, $345 million, or 1.7 million units of SPACES (see Note 19), and $345 million of floating-rate, medium-term capital securities due 2008 (see Note 8), a portion of which was used to finance the acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price was financed using existing resources.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price of $1.1 billion was allocated as follows: goodwill $724 million, customer relationship intangible $363 million, capitalized software $28 million and other tangible assets $14 million. The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years. The software is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The results of the GSS acquisition were included in the accompanying statement of income for the period from February 1, 2003, through September 30, 2003.

In connection with the acquisition, State Street expects to reduce its overall workforce, primarily in the United States, over a 12- to 18-month period beginning in June 2003, by approximately 1,000 employees. Severance costs of $22 million and transaction costs of $22 million related to these activities were initially recorded as a liability in conjunction with recording the initial purchase of GSS, and were capitalized as part of the goodwill allocated with the GSS business. During the second quarter of 2003, an additional $12 million was recorded for the severance liability and capitalized as goodwill. As of September 30, 2003, $4 million in accrued severance costs and $22 million of transaction costs had been paid. Additionally, State Street incurred $26 million and $81 million of merger and integration costs for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively. These one-time expenses consisted primarily of costs for employee retention, systems conversion and consulting services.

On December 31, 2002, State Street completed the sale of its Corporate Trust business to U.S. Bank, N.A., the lead bank of U.S. Bancorp. The premium received on the sale was $725 million, $75 million of which was placed in escrow pending the successful transition of the business. The Corporate Trust business consisted of $689 billion in bonds under trusteeship, $187 billion in assets under custody and $2.3 billion in client deposits. The bonds under trusteeship transferred to U.S. Bank, N.A. on December 31, 2002. The assets under custody and deposits have transferred in 2003.

In July 2002, State Street completed the cash purchase of International Fund Services (“IFS”), a leading provider of fund accounting and administration as well as securities trade support and operational services for hedge funds, for $80 million. As one of the largest providers of hedge funds services, IFS services over 100 large asset management firms and private equity fund managers, representing more than 350 funds globally. IFS is headquartered in New York City, and has operations centers in New York City and Dublin, Ireland with approximately 500 employees. In connection with this transaction, during the second quarter of 2003 an additional $47 million of the purchase price was paid and recorded based upon certain performance measures.

The Corporation leases the entire 1,045,000 square feet of One Lincoln Street, a new office building located in Boston, Massachusetts, under a 20-year, non-cancelable capital lease expiring in September 2023. State Street began occupying the first 100,000 square feet of the building in June 2003 and occupies 370,000 square feet at September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, a net book value of $220 million for the capital lease was included in premises and equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. The liability related to the lease is included in long-term debt. The amount capitalized represents the appraised value of the footage occupied by State Street as of September 30, 2003. When the building is fully occupied, expected by the end of 2004, the total appraised value to be capitalized will be $462 million. As the lease is amortized, the cost will be included in occupancy expense. The scheduled lease payments for the next five years are $6 million in 2004, $31 million in 2005, and $41 million in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008, and $810 million over the remaining term of the lease; total minimum lease payments are $970 million over the term of the lease with $508 million representing interest.

Note 8—Long-term Debt

In January 2003, in connection with its acquisition of the GSS business, State Street issued $345 million of floating-rate, medium-term capital securities due 2008. The floating rate capital securities were issued at LIBOR plus 50 basis points, and are subject to mandatory redemption on December 15, 2005, provided certain regulatory requirements are met, and otherwise are due on February 15, 2008. These notes qualify as Tier 1 capital for bank regulatory purposes. See Note 2 for further details.

In September 2003, State Street Bank authorized $1 billion and issued $400 million of 5.25% Subordinated Bank Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.25% per annum, and State Street Bank is required to make semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for bank regulatory purposes. In connection with this offering, State Street Bank executed fair value swaps with a notional value of $400 million to, in effect, convert the Notes from fixed rate to variable rate. See Note 19 for further details.

At September 30, 2003, $227 million was included in long-term debt that related to the capital lease for One Lincoln Street. See Note 5 for further details.

Note 12—Restructuring Expenses

During the second quarter of 2003, State Street announced a program to decrease operating expenses. The expense reductions are being achieved through a decrease in direct controllable expenses and by a voluntary separation and enhanced severance program (“VSP”) primarily in the United States. Approximately 3,000 individuals have accepted the VSP.

During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, State Street incurred $3 million and $295 million of restructuring costs, respectively. Details of the restructuring costs are as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	Amount Incurred Through June 30, 2003		Amount Incurred in Three Months Ended September 30, 2003		Expected Future Amount to be Incurred		Total Amount Expected to be Incurred

Additional restructuring costs		3
Cash payments made to date		(126	)

The restructuring costs were recorded during the second quarter at the time the accounting events and measurement date occurred. As of September 30, 2003, $126 million in payments had been made related to the restructuring liability. Severance costs included salaries and related benefits to be paid out over a defined period of up to two years. Pension costs will be paid out primarily in equal annual installments over a five-year period. Stock compensation expense was attributable to the modification of various stock options and restricted and deferred stock awards for individuals who accepted the VSP. See Note 1 for further details on the VSP. Other restructuring costs include outplacement services associated with the termination of employees and professional and actuarial fees incurred. It is expected that an additional $1 million of restructuring costs will be recorded through the first six months of 2004, as full-time employees continue to depart State Street, and a majority of accrued costs will be paid by June 30, 2004.

In April 2002, State Street incurred $20 million of expenses related to cost control efforts through the elimination of positions. These expenses have been reclassified as restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 included herein.

Note 19—Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Including Derivatives (continued)

In connection with its interest rate risk management strategies, State Street has executed interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $2.322 billion at September 30, 2003, designated as fair value hedges to hedge the changes in the fair value of certain securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, State Street recognized net pre-tax losses of $3 million, which represented the ineffective portion of the hedge.

State Street has designated interest rate swaps with a notional value of $150 million as cash flow hedges to its floating rate debt. These interest rate swaps constitute a fully effective hedge. In addition, State Street entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $500 million effective February 20, 2002, a notional value of $50 million effective June 11, 2002, and a notional value of $50 million effective July 9, 2002, designated as fair value hedges to hedge certain of its fixed rate debt issuances. On September 24, 2003, State Street Bank entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $400 million, designated as a fair value hedge for the subordinated notes issued on that date. The fair value hedge swaps increased the value of long-term debt presented in the Statement of Condition by $66 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Corporation’s overall weighted average interest rate for long-term debt was 5.76% on a contractual basis and 4.42% including the effects of derivative contracts.

In January 2003, in connection with its acquisition of the GSS business (see Note 2), State Street issued $345 million, or 1.7 million units, of SPACES. SPACES are collateralized, forward purchase contract units for additional shares of common stock of State Street. Each of the SPACES has a stated amount of $200 and consists of PACES, a fixed-share purchase contract and treasury securities, and COVERS, a variable-share repurchase contract. The SPACES investors will receive total annual payments of 6.75% on the units, payable quarterly, consisting of an annual 4.00% contract payment on the COVERS, an annual 0.75% contract payment on the PACES and a 2.00% annual return on the underlying treasury securities. These payments, the present value of which totaled $45 million, were treated as a cost of capital and charged to surplus upon issuance. State Street will receive the proceeds of $345 million and issue common stock upon settlement of the fixed share purchase contracts underlying the SPACES units on November 15, 2005.

The following is a summary of the contractual amount of State Street’s credit-related, off-balance sheet financial instruments:

Indemnified securities on loan	$	204,372	$	131,991
Asset purchase agreements		17,181		14,044
Loan commitments		12,441		12,499
Standby letters of credit		4,029		3,252
Letters of credit		–		106

On behalf of its clients, State Street lends their securities to creditworthy broker-dealers and other institutions. In certain circumstances, State Street may indemnify its clients for the fair market value of those securities against a failure of the borrower to return such securities. State Street requires the borrowers to provide collateral in an amount equal to or in excess of 102% of the fair market value of the securities borrowed. The borrowed securities are revalued daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary. State Street held, as collateral, cash, U.S. government securities, and other securities totaling $210.8 billion and $134.6 billion for indemnified securities on loan at September 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—State Street Corporation (Unaudited)

Note 19—Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Including Derivatives (continued)

Loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit), asset purchase agreements, standby letters of credit and letters of credit are issued to accommodate the financing needs of State Street’s clients and to provide credit enhancements to variable interest entities. Loan commitments are agreements by State Street to lend monies at a future date. Asset purchase agreements are commitments to purchase receivables or securities, subject to conditions established in the agreements.

Approximately 88% of the loan commitments and asset purchase agreements will expire in one year or less from the date of issue. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire or renew without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

State Street provides liquidity and credit enhancement facilities in the forms of liquidity asset purchase agreements, lines of credit, and standby letters of credit to two types of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). One type, which State Street administers, issues asset-backed commercial paper (“ABCP”). At September 30, 2003 and 2002, State Street’s commitments under liquidity asset purchase agreements and lines of credit to this type of VIEs were $12.6 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively, and standby letters of credit were $644 million and $590 million, respectively. Amounts committed, but unused, under the liquidity asset purchase agreements, lines of credit and standby letters of credit that State Street provides to these VIEs are included in the table above. During the three-months ended September 30, 2003, $50 million was drawn under a liquidity asset purchase agreement. Asset performance deterioration or certain other factors may cause the asset risk to shift from the ABCP investors to State Street, as the liquidity provider for the asset purchase agreements, as the VIE may need to repay maturing commercial paper by drawing the liquidity facilities. Potential losses from these VIEs are not expected to materially affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation.

For a second type of VIE, structured as a qualified special purpose entity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, State Street distributes and sells equity interests in tax-exempt investment-grade assets that are primarily sold to mutual fund clients. State Street provides liquidity asset purchase agreements to these entities. These liquidity asset purchase agreements obligate State Street to buy the equity interests in the underlying portfolio at par, which approximates market value, in the event that the re-marketing agent is unable to place the equity interests of the VIE with investors. The liquidity asset purchase agreements are subject to early termination by State Street in the event of payment default, bankruptcy of the issuer or credit enhancement provider, taxability, or downgrade of an asset below investment grade. State Street’s liquidity asset purchase agreements to these VIEs were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, none of which were utilized.

Note 20—Subsequent Event

On October 31, 2003, State Street completed the sale of its Private Asset Management business to U.S. Trust. Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction is valued at $365 million, about five percent of which is subject to the successful transition of the business over the next 16 months. The company expects to record approximately $280 million in pretax income from the transaction after providing for about $65 million in exit and closing costs in the fourth quarter.

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

The Stockholders and Board of Directors

State Street Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of State Street Corporation as of September 30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated statement of condition of State Street Corporation as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 10, 2003, except for Note 25, as to which the date is January 31, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In order to provide information on a comparable basis from period to period and to assist stockholders, analysts, other external parties and management in analyzing the financial results and trends of its ongoing businesses and operations, supplemental financial results on a “baseline” basis are presented below. In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, the discussion will reference reported results, as previously defined, and “baseline” results, “GSS contribution” results, and “operating” results. These additional terms are defined as follows:

• “Operating” results are reported results on a taxable equivalent basis, excluding significant charges and results of a divested business. For the third quarter of 2003, operating results exclude merger, integration and restructuring costs. For 2002, third quarter operating results exclude the results of the divested Corporate Trust business.

• “GSS contribution” results are the revenue and expenses for the third quarter of 2003, including financing costs and amortization of intangibles, attributable to the GSS business acquired  January 31, 2003, as well as revenue and expenses from “out-of-scope” GSS business that were not part of the acquisition, but commenced in the second quarter of 2003 with GSS clients. Per share amounts reflect the effect on outstanding shares due to the acquisition.

• “Baseline” results are operating results excluding GSS contribution, and are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis.

Summary

State Street reported net income for the third quarter of 2003 of $.60 per share, reflecting net income of $202 million and total revenue of $1.126 billion. In the third quarter of 2002, State Street earned net income of $182 million, or $.56 per share, on $956 million of revenue. Reported results for the third quarter 2003 included net income of $14 million from the GSS business, or $.01 per share. In addition, reported results included pre-tax merger and integration costs of $26 million related to the acquisition of the GSS business and a pre-tax restructuring charge of $3 million related to the Corporation’s expense-reduction program for a combined after-tax per share charge of $.06. Reported results for 2002 included the operating results of the divested Corporate Trust business that added $5 million to net income, or $.02 per share.

Excluding the results of GSS, and the significant charges listed above, baseline earnings were $211 million or $.65 per share in the third quarter of 2003. This compared with baseline earnings for the third quarter of 2002 of $177 million, or $.54 per share, which excluded the impact of the operating results of the Corporate Trust business. Higher fee revenue, as well as lower operating expenses drove the increase in baseline earnings. A decline in net interest revenue somewhat offset some of the growth in baseline earnings.

Total Revenue

In the third quarter of 2003, total reported revenue was $1.126 billion, up $170 million, compared to $956 million a year ago and included revenue from the GSS business of $163 million. On a baseline basis, total revenue was $976 million compared to $949 million in 2002, an increase of $27 million, primarily from fee revenue including higher servicing and management fees and processing fees and other revenue, offset by lower net interest revenue. Losses on the sales of available-for-sale securities in 2003 totaled $5 million, compared with gains of $31 million in 2002.

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Fee Revenue

Fee revenue on a reported basis for the third quarter of 2003 was $928 million, up $226 million, from 2002. Reported fee revenue for 2003 included $165 million of revenue from the GSS business. Reported fee revenue for the third quarter of 2002 included $20 million from the divested Corporate Trust business. On a baseline basis, fee revenue was $763 million, up $81 million compared to $682 million for the third quarter of 2002.

Servicing and management fees were the largest components of fee revenue. Combined, they comprise approximately 70% of State Street’s total reported fee revenue. Servicing and management fees are affected by changes in worldwide equity and fixed income valuations. In general, servicing fees are affected by changes in daily average valuations of assets under custody, and management fees are affected by changes in month-end valuations of assets under management. Management fee revenue is significantly more sensitive to market valuations than servicing fee revenue.

State Street estimates that a 10% increase or decrease in worldwide equity values would cause a corresponding change in State Street’s total revenue of approximately 2%. Similarly, as bond values worldwide increase or decrease by 10%, State Street would anticipate a corresponding change of approximately 1% in its total revenue.

Servicing fees are derived from custody, accounting, daily pricing and administration; master trust and master custody; trustee and recordkeeping; performance, risk and compliance analytics; and investment manager operations outsourcing. Servicing fees for the third quarter of 2003 were $505 million, up $115 million from the reported $390 million in the third quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to the servicing fee revenue generated by the GSS business acquisition of $105 million offset somewhat by the $19 million of servicing fees in 2002 attributable to the divested Corporate Trust business. On a baseline basis, servicing fees were $400 million, up 8% from $371 million for the third quarter of 2002. The increase in baseline servicing fee revenue was attributable to improvement in equity market valuations and new business from existing and new clients. The following table provides selected equity market indices, which demonstrate worldwide equity market valuation changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2003:

	Daily Averages of Indices
	For the three months ended September 30,
Index	2003	2002	Change
S&P 500®	1,000.4	895.5	12	%
NASDAQ®	1,765.2	1,310.0	35
MSCI® EAFE	1,072.4	1,001.4	7

At September 30, 2003, total assets under custody were $8.8 trillion, including $2.0 trillion attributable to the GSS business. The value of assets under custody is a broad measure of the relative size of various markets served. Changes to the value of assets under custody do not result in proportional changes in revenue. Many services are priced on factors other than asset values, including the mix of assets under custody, securities positions held, portfolio transactions, and types of products and services. State Street uses relationship pricing for clients who take advantage of multiple services.

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Management fees from investment management services, primarily delivered through State Street Global Advisors^®, were $141 million, compared to $116 million a year ago. Fees from the GSS business added $4 million to management fees. On a baseline basis, management fees were $137 million, up $21 million from 2002, reflecting the effects of continued new business success, and an increase in average month-end equity valuations. Total assets under management were $965 billion, compared to $707 billion a year previously.

The following table shows the change in assets under management during the quarter:

(Dollars in billions)	Assets Under Management
June 30, 2003		$	901
Net inflows from clients			33
Market appreciation			31
September 30, 2003		$	965

Commencing with the first quarter of 2003, securities lending revenue, previously included in both servicing fees and management fees, is presented as a separate revenue item. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect this presentation. Reported securities lending revenue was $61 million in the quarter, compared to $45 million in the third quarter of the previous year. Reported results included securities lending fees from the GSS business of $13 million. On a baseline basis, securities lending revenue was up $3 million. Volume of securities on loan more than offset narrower interest-rate spreads.

Foreign exchange trading revenue was $101 million for the quarter compared to $78 million a year ago, including fees from the GSS business of $12 million in reported results in 2003. Baseline foreign exchange trading revenue increased $11 million from the third quarter of 2002. Brokerage fee revenue was $28 million compared to $32 million a year ago.

Reported processing fees and other revenue, which includes certain fees from Deutsche Bank related to the GSS business, profits and losses from joint ventures and other items, were $92 million in the quarter compared to $41 million a year ago. This increase was largely due to $31 million of fee revenue from the GSS business. Until customers and their related deposits are converted to State Street systems, Deutsche Bank is making payments in consideration of revenue earned from GSS client deposits. These deposits will transfer to State Street when the custody business is converted, over the next several quarters. On a baseline basis, processing fees and other revenue were $61 million, up $21 million from 2002, and reflected improvement in earnings from joint ventures, structured products and tax-advantaged financings.

Net Interest Revenue

In serving sophisticated global investors, State Street provides short-term funds management, deposit services and repurchase agreements for cash positions associated with clients’ investment activities. These activities, along with State Street’s investment and lending portfolios, generate net interest revenue.

Reported net interest revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $203 million, down from $224 million in the third quarter of 2002. Operating basis net interest revenue was $216 million, down from $240 million. The GSS contribution to reported net interest revenue included $3 million of interest revenue and $5 million of interest expense attributable to financing for the acquisition of the GSS business. In the third quarter of 2002, the divested Corporate Trust business added $3 million to net interest revenue. Baseline net interest revenue was $218 million, a decline of $19 million, or 8%, from $237 million a year ago.

	Three Months Ended September 30,

(a) Rates were calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis where the tax savings generated by tax-exempt investments was recorded as net interest revenue with a corresponding charge to income tax expense. Tax savings were computed using a federal income tax rate of 35%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal tax benefit.

Lower yields on assets in 2003 reflected the continued decline in interest rates. Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2003, was 1.17%, compared to 1.36% for the comparable period in 2002. Rates earned in excess of rates paid decreased by 17 basis points year-over-year. Lower yields on assets, as maturing assets were reinvested at the lower market rates, were responsible for the change.

(Losses) Gains on Sales of Available-for-Sale Securities

State Street realized securities losses of $5 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with gains of $31 million in the third quarter of last year.

Operating Expenses

Reported operating expenses for the third quarter of 2003 were $821 million, up $137 million from $684 million a year ago. This increase was attributable to $142 million of expenses from the GSS business offset by a $15 million decrease in expenses from the divestiture of the Corporate Trust business in 2002. On a baseline basis, expenses decreased $19 million, or 3%. Lower salaries and benefits expense and direct controllable expenses more than offset the increase in occupancy expense.

Reported salaries and employee benefits expense increased $9 million to $407 million, including $53 million of costs from the addition of approximately 2,800 employees in January 2003 from the acquisition of GSS, partially offset by a reduction in expense of $8 million from the divestiture of the Corporate Trust business in 2002. Baseline-basis salaries and employee benefits expense was down $36 million as a result of the previously disclosed cost-reduction plans that included a reduction in the Corporation’s total workforce.

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Reported information systems and communications expense increased $48 million to $140 million, including $46 million attributable to GSS operating costs. On a baseline basis, information systems and communication expenses increased by $4 million due to continued investment in technology.

Reported transaction processing services expense increased $17 million to $80 million, including $14 million in GSS transaction processing costs. On a baseline basis, transaction processing services expense was up $4 million, driven by sub-custodian fees and other external contract services.

Occupancy expense increased $22 million to $84 million, including $10 million in facilities costs from the GSS acquisition. On a baseline basis, occupancy expense was up $14 million primarily reflecting additional occupancy costs related to State Street’s new office building located in Boston, Massachusetts.

Merger and integration costs totaled $26 million for the quarter. These expenses consisted primarily of professional fees and systems integration costs incurred in the third quarter related to the GSS acquisition.

Reported restructuring charges were $3 million in the third quarter of 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, State Street implemented a voluntary separation program (“VSP”). Third quarter 2003 expense consisted of additional severance liabilities.

Reported other operating expenses in the third quarter of 2003 increased $12 million to $81 million. The increase included $19 million of costs from GSS operations, including $7 million of amortization costs related to intangible assets acquired. On a baseline basis, other expenses decreased $5 million to $62 million due to continued cost control measures.

In the second quarter of 2003, State Street initiated expense reduction programs that will reduce State Street’s operating expenses by approximately $125 million in the aggregate for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2003 compared to its first-quarter baseline run rate, all else being equal. The two components of this program include bringing down directly controllable expenses and the VSP. Baseline operating expenses for the third quarter of 2003 were $55 million below the first quarter baseline run rate.

State Street also expects to generate cost savings in 2003 through its GSS integration plan, which includes reducing overall workforce relating to the GSS business by approximately 1,000 employees, primarily in the U.S., over a 12-18 month period beginning in June 2003. In addition, GSS operations will be transitioned to State Street’s U.S. servicing platforms in Quincy, Massachusetts and Kansas City, Missouri from facilities in Jersey City, New Jersey and Nashville, Tennessee under the integration plan.

Income Taxes

On a reported basis, State Street recorded tax expense of $103 million for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $90 million in the third quarter of 2002. The effective rate for the third quarter was 34% compared with 33% a year ago. In the second quarter of 2003, State Street settled a REIT-related tax matter with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. State Street’s estimated full-year tax rate for 2003 is 34% excluding the impact of the REIT settlement and 35% if the REIT settlement is included.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In order to provide information on a comparable basis from period to period and to assist stockholders, analysts, other external parties and management in analyzing the financial results and trends of its ongoing businesses and operations, supplemental financial results on a “baseline” basis are presented below. In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, the discussion will reference reported results, as previously defined, and “baseline” results, “GSS contribution” results, and “operating” results. These additional terms are defined as follows:

• “Operating” results are reported results on a taxable equivalent basis, excluding significant charges and results of a divested business. For the first nine months of 2003, operating results exclude merger, integration and restructuring costs, the write-down associated with the sale of certain real estate, and the settlement of a real estate investment trust tax matter. For 2002, year-to-date operating results exclude the results of the divested Corporate Trust business and restructuring costs.

• “GSS contribution” results are the revenue and expenses recorded to date, including financing costs and amortization of intangibles, attributable to the GSS business acquired January 31, 2003, as well as revenue and expenses from “out-of-scope” GSS business that were not part of the acquisition, but commenced in the second quarter of 2003 with GSS clients. Per share amounts reflect the effect on outstanding shares due to the acquisition.

• “Baseline” results are operating results excluding GSS contribution, and are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Summary

State Street reported net income for the first nine months of 2003 of $.82 per share, reflecting net income of $275 million and total revenue of $3.228 billion. For the first nine months of 2002, State Street earned net income of $538 million, or $1.64 per share, on $2.940 billion of revenue. Reported results for 2003 include a loss of $.01 per share related to the GSS business. In addition, State Street recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $295 million related to the Corporation’s expense-reduction program, pre-tax merger and integration costs of $81 million related to the acquisition of the GSS business, an after-tax charge of $12 million for settlement of a tax matter related to a real estate investment trust issue with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and a pre-tax charge of $13 million for the loss on sale of certain real estate. These items, in the aggregate, resulted in a net charge of $.80 per share for the first nine months of 2003. Reported results for 2002 included the operating results of the divested Corporate Trust business that added $.06 per share, and included a restructuring charge of $20 million, or $.04 per share, for a reduction-in-force initiative taken in April 2002.

Baseline earnings were $523 million or $1.63 per share in the third quarter of 2003. Comparable baseline earnings for the third quarter of 2002 were $534 million, or $1.62 per share. The decline in baseline earnings was primarily due to lower net interest revenue, reflecting the continuing decline in interest rates and narrower interest rate spreads, and lower net gains on the sales of available-for-sale securities, largely offset by increases in fee revenue and operating expense reductions.

Total Revenue

In the first nine months of 2003, total reported revenue was $3.228 billion, up $288 million, compared to $2.940 billion a year ago and included eight months of revenue from the GSS business of $405 million. Reported revenue in 2003 included a charge of $13 million related to the write-off of certain real estate sold. Total revenue for 2002 included $70 million from the divested Corporate Trust business. On a baseline basis, total revenue was $2.875 billion compared to $2.916 billion in 2002, a decrease of $41 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower net interest revenue, down $143 million for the first nine months of 2003, reflecting the continuing decline in interest rates and narrower interest rate spreads, and lower net gains on the sales of available-for-sale securities. Higher fee revenue largely offset these decreases.

Fee revenue on a reported basis for the first nine months of 2003 was $2.599 billion, up $455 million, from 2002. Reported fee revenue for 2003 included $414 million of revenue from the GSS business, primarily in servicing fees, securities lending and processing fees and other revenue, offset by a charge of $13 million for the write-off of certain real estate. Reported revenue for the first nine months of 2002 included $61 million of fee revenue, primarily servicing fees, attributable to the divested Corporate Trust business. On a baseline basis, fee revenue was $2.198 billion, up $115 million compared to $2.083 billion for the same period in 2002.

Baseline servicing fees for the first nine months of 2003 were $1.170 billion, up $85 million from the $1.085 billion in 2002. The increase in baseline servicing fee revenue was attributable to business gained through an acquisition in July 2002 and new business from new and existing clients.

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Baseline management fees from investment management services were $384 million, compared to $369 million a year ago, reflecting the effects of continued new business success and improvement in month-end average equity market valuations from a year ago.

(Dollars in billions)	Assets Under Management
December 31, 2002		$	763
Net inflows from clients			109
Market appreciation			93
September 30, 2003		$	965

Baseline securities lending revenue was down $27 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $150 million. This decrease reflected narrower interest-rate spreads due to a less favorable interest-rate environment compared to a year ago, which more than offset growth in volume of securities on loan. Baseline-basis foreign exchange trading revenue was $249 million for the first nine months of 2003, up from $238 a year ago. Brokerage fee revenue for the first nine months was $85 million, compared to $86 million a year ago. Baseline processing fees and other revenue was $160 million, up $32 million from 2002, reflecting improvement in earnings from joint ventures, structured products and tax-advantaged financings.

Baseline net interest revenue was $648 million for the first nine months of 2003, a decline of $143 million from $791 million a year ago, when net interest revenue still benefited from the residual benefits of the multiple rate cuts of 2001. Lower yields on assets in 2003 reflected the continued decline in interest rates, as maturing assets were reinvested at the lower market rates.

State Street realized securities gains of $29 million in the first nine months of 2003, down from $45 million for the first nine months of the prior year.

Operating Expenses

Reported operating expenses for the first nine months of 2003 were $2.794 billion, up $657 million from $2.137 billion a year ago. This increase includes $295 million of expenses related to restructuring costs associated with the Corporation’s expense-reduction program, up from $20 million for the comparable period in 2002. In addition, the increase was attributable to $374 million of expenses from the GSS business, and $81 million of merger and integration costs related to the acquisition, offset by a $44 million decrease in expenses as a result of the divestiture of the Corporate Trust business in 2002. On a baseline basis, expenses decreased $29 million to $2.044 billion. Lower salaries and benefits expense and direct controllable expenses more than offset increases in information systems and communication, transaction processing, and occupancy expenses.

Baseline salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $65 million to $1.153 billion as a result of lower incentive compensation expense and the cost savings associated with reduction in headcount from the voluntary separation program. Baseline information systems and communications expense increased $20 million to $294 million due to continued investment in core processing capabilities and costs related to IFS, which was acquired in July 2002. On a baseline basis, transaction processing services expense was up $16 million, driven by sub-custodian fees and costs associated with IFS. Occupancy expense increased $25 million to $203 million, reflecting additional office space in State Street’s new office building located in Boston, Massachusetts. On a baseline basis, other expenses decreased $25 million to $200 million due to continued cost control measures.

Income Taxes

On a reported basis, State Street recorded tax expense of $159 million for the first nine months of 2003, compared to $265 million a year ago. In the second quarter of 2003, State Street settled a REIT-related tax matter with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. State Street’s effective rate for the first nine months of 2003 was 36.7%, including the impact of the REIT tax matter. Excluding the REIT matter, the effective rate was 34.0% compared with 33.0% for the year earlier period. The estimated full-year tax rate for 2003 is 34% excluding the impact of the REIT settlement and 35% if the REIT settlement is included.

GSS ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION

On January 31, 2003, State Street completed the primary closing of its acquisition of a substantial part of the Global Securities Services business (“GSS business”) from Deutsche Bank AG. Under the terms of the definitive agreements, first announced on November 5, 2002, State Street’s initial payment to Deutsche Bank for all business units to be acquired was approximately $1.1 billion. On July 1, 2003, State Street completed the acquisition of the Italian business units of GSS, and on July 31, 2003, completed the acquisition of the Austrian units of the business. In the period ending on the one-year anniversary of the primary closing, State Street will make additional payments of up to an estimated €360 million, based upon performance of the acquired business. The merger and integration costs associated with the acquisition are expected to be $90-$110 million for 2003 on a pre-tax basis, with $81 million recorded through the first nine months. The GSS business had approximately $2.0 trillion of assets under custody at September 30, 2003, and contributed $414 million of fee revenue in the eight months since acquisition, including $255 million of servicing fees, $12 million of management fees, $42 million of securities lending revenue, and $27 million of foreign exchange trading revenue. Deutsche Bank compensated State Street with $78 million, recorded in processing fees, for revenue earned during the eight months ended September 30, 2003, on client deposits not yet transferred to State Street.

State Street recorded $15 million of interest costs associated with the acquisition financing in net interest revenue in the first nine months of 2003. Operating expenses attributable to the GSS business were $374 million, including $141 million of salaries and benefits expenses, $116 million of information systems and communications expenses, $37 million of transaction processing services expenses, $28 million of occupancy expenses, and $52 million of other expenses.

The GSS business increased net income by $21 million for the first nine months of 2003; however, the issuance of common stock used to partially fund the acquisition resulted in a $.01 per share loss for the period attributable to the GSS business.

State Street incurred $81 million of merger and integration costs related to GSS in the first nine months of 2003. These one-time expenses consisted primarily of costs for employee retention, system conversion costs and consulting services.

When initially announced in November 2002, the acquired business represented approximately €700 million in annualized revenue. Based on the run-rate from the third quarter of 2003, the business as acquired, excluding revenue from out-of-scope business, is generating approximately $628 million of annualized revenue. Based on the run rate from the third quarter of 2003, the business as acquired, excluding financing costs and expenses related to out-of-scope business, is generating approximately $520 million of annualized expenses and reflects implementation of planned expense reductions. State Street is on schedule in reducing GSS expenses, and plans to meet its targets for cost savings.

Based on the first eight months operating results, State Street believes it will meet or better its previously-disclosed expectation that the acquisition is expected to be dilutive to earnings per share by approximately $0.01 to $0.03 per share in the first year of operation.

Investment Servicing.    Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003, increased $170 million to $958 million, up 22% from 2002, driven by growth in fee revenue, somewhat offset by losses on the sales of securities and a decline in net interest revenue.

Fee revenue increased by $217 million to $768 million for the third quarter of 2003 and was primarily attributable to $161 million from the GSS business. Servicing fees were up $134 million, $105 million of which was attributable to the GSS business with the remainder attributable to new business from new and existing clients and improvement in equity market valuations. Fee revenue from global securities lending was up $14 million to $51 million. GSS contributed $13 million to the increase. Narrow interest rate spreads offset most of the growth in the volume of securities on loan from non-GSS clients. Foreign exchange trading revenue was up $23 million to $101 million. GSS contributed $12 million to the increase. Processing fees and other revenue was up $50 million to $83 million, of which GSS contributed $31 million, including fees from Deutsche Bank for revenue earned on client deposits not yet transferred to State Street.

Net interest revenue after provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2003 was $195 million, compared to $206 million in 2002. Net interest revenue reflected the challenging interest rate environment, including lower rates earned on investments.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2003 were $665 million, up $115 million from the prior year. GSS contributed $142 million of expenses. Excluding GSS, operating expenses were down $27 million due to State Street’s cost reduction programs, including the previously disclosed voluntary separation program.

Investment Management.    Total revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $168 million, up $23 million, from $145 million reported in 2002. An increase in management fees more than offset the decline in net interest revenue.

Management fees from investment management services, delivered through State Street Global Advisors, were $141 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to $116 million a year ago. Fees from the GSS business added $4 million to management fees. Management fees principally reflected continued new business success and an increase in average month-end equity valuations.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $127 million, up $7 million from the prior year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Investment Servicing.    Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, increased $355 million to $2.764 billion, up 15% from 2002 driven by growth in fee revenue, somewhat offset by a decline in net interest revenue and lower gains on the sales of available-for-sale securities.

Growth in fee revenue of $496 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $2.163 billion was primarily attributable to $402 million from the GSS business. Servicing fees were up $340 million, $255 million of which was attributable to the GSS business with the remainder attributable to business gained through an acquisition in July 2002 and new business from new and existing clients. Fee revenue from global securities lending was up $16 million to $162 million. GSS contributed $42 million to the increase. Narrow interest rate spreads due to a less favorable interest rate environment more than offset the growth in the volume of securities on loan from non-GSS clients. Foreign exchange trading revenue was up $38 million to $276 million. GSS contributed $27 million to the increase. Processing fees and other revenue was up $103 million to $215 million, of which GSS contributed $78 million, including fees from Deutsche Bank for revenue earned on client deposits not yet transferred to State Street.

Net interest revenue after provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2003 was $572 million, compared to $697 million in 2002 when net interest revenue still benefited from the residual benefits of the multiple rate cuts of 2001. Lower yields on assets in 2003 reflected the continued decline in interest rates, as maturing assets were reinvested at lower market rates.

Gains on the sale of available-for-sale securities were $29 million for the first nine months of 2003, compared to $45 million a year ago.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, were $2.029 billion, up $343 million from the prior year. GSS contributed $374 million of expenses. Excluding GSS, operating expenses were down $31 million due to the continued cost control measures, including the reduction in headcount from the voluntary separation program.

Investment Management.    Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $477 million, up $16 million, from $461 million reported in 2002. An increase in management fees and processing fees and other revenue more than offset the decline in net interest revenue.

Management fees from investment management services, delivered through State Street Global Advisors, were $396 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared to $369 million a year ago. The GSS business contributed $12 million to management fees in 2003. Excluding the GSS contribution, management fees increased, principally reflecting the effects of continued new business success and improvement in month-end average equity valuations from a year ago.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $389 million, up slightly from $388 million reported in 2002.

FINANCIAL GOALS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THEM

State Street’s primary financial goal is sustainable real growth in earnings per share. The Corporation has two supporting goals, one for total revenue growth and one for return on common stockholders’ equity (ROE). The long-term revenue goal is for a 12.5% real, or inflation adjusted, compound annual growth rate of revenue from 2000 through 2010. At present, this equates to approximately a 15% nominal compound annual growth rate. The return on stockholders’ equity goal is 13%-15% for 2003 and 2004. The company will revisit this goal in 2004.

43

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

State Street considers these to be financial goals, not projections or forward-looking statements. However, the discussion included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in other portions of this report on Form 10-Q, may contain statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. 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. The Corporation’s financial goals and such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including the issues and factors listed below and factors further described in conjunction with the forward-looking information, 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-Q. 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 in the Corporation’s Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the time the statements were given, and the Corporation does not undertake to revise those forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this report.

Cross-border investing.    Increased cross-border investing by clients worldwide benefits State Street’s revenue. Future revenue may increase or decrease depending upon the extent of increases or decreases in cross-border investments made by clients or future clients. Economic and political uncertainties resulting from terrorist attacks, subsequent military actions or other events could result in decreased cross-border investment activities.

Savings rate of individuals.    State Street generally benefits when individuals invest their savings in mutual funds and other collective funds or in defined contribution plans. Changes in savings rates or investment styles may affect revenue. If there is a decline in the savings rates of individuals, or if there is a change in investment preferences that leads to fewer investments in mutual funds, other collective funds, and defined contribution plans, State Street’s revenue may be adversely affected.

Asset values in worldwide financial markets.    As asset values in worldwide financial markets increase or decrease, 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 the valuation of worldwide securities markets will affect revenue. State Street estimates that a 10% increase or decrease in worldwide equity values would cause a corresponding change in State Street’s total revenue of approximately 2%. If fixed income security values worldwide were to increase or decrease by 10%, State Street would anticipate a corresponding change of approximately 1% in its total revenue.

Dynamics of markets served.    Changes in markets served, including the growth rate of collective funds worldwide, outsourcing decisions, mergers, acquisitions and consolidations among clients and competitors and the pace of debt issuance, can affect revenue. In general, State Street benefits from increases 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, pace of inflation, changes in monetary policy, changes in domestic and international banking supervisory regulations including capital requirements, and social and political instability—could affect results of operations. The terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001, and subsequent military and terrorist activities,  have caused economic and political uncertainties. These activities and the national and global efforts to combat terrorism, and other military activities and outbreaks of hostilities have affected and may further adversely affect economic growth, and may have other adverse effects on many companies, including State Street, in ways that

44

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

are not predictable. In a similar manner, financial reporting irregularities involving large and well-known companies and regulatory investigations of mutual fund industry practices and behavior may have other adverse effects on State Street in ways that are not predictable.

Legislation may cause changes in the competitive environment in which State Street operates, which could include, among other things, broadening the scope of activities of significant competitors, or facilitating consolidation of competitors into stronger entities, or attracting large and well-capitalized new competitors into State Street’s traditional businesses. Such factors and changes and the ability of the Corporation to address and adapt to the regulatory and competitive challenges may affect future results of operations.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is in the process of finalizing the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II). The U.S. Banking and Thrift regulatory agencies have begun the process of US implementation of Basel II through the joint issuance of an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPR”) and Draft Supervisory Guidance. After obtaining comments on the ANPR and Draft Guidance, the agencies are expected to release proposed rules for comment, and ultimately final rules. State Street cannot predict the final form of the Basel II accord or the related U.S. rules and their impact on State Street. However, State Street and its businesses would be adversely affected if rules that impact its ability to maintain its “well-capitalized” status are finalized in current form.

Accounting policies.    Changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to State Street could have a material impact on the Corporation’s reported results of operations. While such changes may not have an economic impact on the business of State Street, these changes could affect the attainment of the current measures of the Corporation’s financial goals.

Interest rates.    The levels of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and the direction of interest rate changes relative to the currency mix of the Corporation’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities affect net interest revenue and securities lending revenue. In the short term, State Street’s net interest revenue and securities lending revenue benefit from falling interest rates and are negatively affected by rising rates because interest-bearing liabilities reprice sooner than interest-earning assets. In general, sustained lower interest rates and a flat yield curve may have a constraining effect on the net interest revenue and securities lending revenue growth.

Liquidity.    Any occurrence that may limit the Corporation’s access to the funds markets, such as a decline in the confidence of debt purchasers, depositors or counterparties participating in the funds markets in general or with State Street in particular, or a downgrade of State Street’s debt rating, may adversely affect State Street’s ability to raise capital and, in turn, its liquidity.

Capital.    Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, State Street and State Street Bank must meet guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could have a direct material effect on State Street’s financial condition; failure to maintain the status of “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework could affect State Street’s status as a financial holding company and eligibility for streamlined review process for acquisition proposals. In addition, failure to maintain the status of “well capitalized” could affect the confidence of State Street’s clients in the Corporation and could adversely affect its business.

Also, under Federal Reserve Board regulations and related federal laws, there are limits on investments of the capital and surplus of State Street Bank in subsidiaries that, in general, conduct only international activities. State Street Bank is near the limit on such permitted use of capital and surplus. This limit may affect the pace of future

45

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

international expansion by State Street Bank through these subsidiaries, although there are available alternatives for international expansion by State Street and State Street Bank.

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. Accordingly, foreign exchange revenue is likely to decrease during times of decreased currency volatility.

Pace of pension reform.    State Street expects its business 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. If the pace of pension reform and resulting programs, including public and private pension schemes, slows down or if pension reform does not occur, then revenue growth may be adversely affected.

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; Business mix.    A decline in the pace at which State Street attracts new clients, and the pace at which existing and new clients use additional services and assign additional assets to State Street for management or custody, will adversely affect future results of operations. A decline in the rate at which clients outsource functions such as their internal accounting activities, would also adversely affect results of operations. In addition, changes in business mix and in the source of revenue, including the mix of U.S. and non-U.S. business, may affect future results of operations, depending on the economic conditions of those geographic areas at the time.

Business continuity.    State Street has business continuity and disaster recovery plans in place. However, events, including terrorist or military actions and resulting political and social turmoil, could arise that would cause unforeseen damage to State Street’s physical facilities or could cause delays or disruptions to operational functions, including information processing and financial market settlement functions. Additionally, State Street’s clients, vendors and counterparties could suffer from such events. Should these events affect State Street, or the clients, vendors or counterparties with which it conducts business, State Street’s results of operations could be adversely affected.

Rate of technological change.    Technological change creates opportunities for product differentiation and reduced costs, as well as the possibility of increased expenses. Developments in the securities processing industry, including shortened settlement cycles and straight-through-processing, will result in changes to existing procedures. Alternative delivery systems have emerged, including the widespread use of the Internet. 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.

The risks inherent in this process include rapid technological change in the industry, the Corporation’s ability to access technical and other information from clients, and the significant and ongoing investments required to bring new services to market in a timely fashion at competitive prices. A further risk is the introduction by competitors of services that could replace or provide lower-cost alternatives to State Street services.

State Street uses 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. Despite these efforts, State Street cannot be certain that the steps taken by it to prevent unauthorized use of

46

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

proprietary rights are sufficient to prevent misappropriation of technology, particularly outside the United States where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, no assurance can be given that the courts will adequately enforce contractual agreements that State Street has entered into to protect its proprietary technology. If any of its proprietary information was misappropriated by or otherwise disclosed to its competitors, State Street’s competitive position could be adversely affected. 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.

Acquisitions and alliances.    Acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies and development of strategic alliances and divestitures of portions of its business are an active part of State Street’s overall business strategy. The Corporation has completed several acquisitions, alliances and divestitures in recent years. However, there can be no assurance that services, technologies, key personnel or businesses of acquired companies will be effectively assimilated into State Street’s business or service offerings or that alliances will be successful. In addition, State Street may not be able to successfully complete any divestiture on satisfactory terms, if at all, and divestitures may result in a reduction of total revenue and net income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

CREDIT QUALITY

At September 30, 2003, total gross loans were $6.229 billion. At quarter end, the allowance for loan losses was $61 million, unchanged from $61 million a year ago. For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, no provision for loan losses was charged against income; there were no charge-offs and no recoveries during the third quarter of 2003. Non-performing assets at September 30, 2003, were $7 million, all of which were non-performing investment securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Liquidity.    The primary objective of State Street’s liquidity management is to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient funds to meet its commitments and business needs, including accommodating the transaction and cash management requirements of its clients. Liquidity is provided by State Street’s access to global debt markets, its ability to gather additional deposits from its clients, maturing short-term assets, sales of securities, and repayment of clients’ loans. Client deposits and other funds provide multi-currency, geographically diverse sources of liquidity. State Street maintains a large portfolio of liquid assets. As of September 30, 2003, the Corporation’s defined liquid assets were $66.184 billion or 81% of total assets, a significant portion of which can be sold on the open market to meet liquidity needs. At September 30, 2003, State Street had defined short-term liabilities of $68.673 billion. State Street had $102 million in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities at September 30, 2003.

In January 2003, in connection with its acquisition of the GSS business (see Note 2), State Street issued $345 million of floating-rate, medium-term capital securities due 2008. The floating rate capital securities were issued at LIBOR plus 50 basis points, and are subject to mandatory redemption on December 15, 2005, provided certain regulatory requirements are met, and otherwise are due on February 15, 2008. These notes qualify as Tier 1 capital for bank regulatory purposes. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

47

PART I.    ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In September 2003, State Street Bank authorized $1 billion and issued $400 million of 5.25% Subordinated Bank Notes due 2018 (“the Notes”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.25% per annum, and State Street Bank is required to make semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for bank regulatory purposes. In connection with this offering, State Street Bank executed fair value swaps with a notional value of $400 million to in effect, convert the Notes from fixed rate to variable rate. See Note 19 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on fair value swaps.

At September 30, 2003, $227 million was included in long-term debt that related to the capital lease for One Lincoln Street. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Capital.    State Street’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base in order to provide financial flexibility for its business needs, including funding corporate growth and supporting clients’ cash management needs. As a state-chartered bank and member of the Federal Reserve System, State Street Bank, State Street’s principal subsidiary, is primarily regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, which has established guidelines for minimum capital ratios. State Street has developed internal capital adequacy policies to ensure that State Street Bank meets or exceeds the level required for the “well-capitalized” category, the highest of the Federal Reserve Board’s five capital categories. State Street Bank must meet the regulatory designation of “well capitalized” in order for State Street to maintain its status as a financial holding company. State Street’s capital management emphasizes risk exposure rather than asset levels.

At September 30, 2003, the Corporation’s Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.8% and 14.7%, respectively, down from 17.1% and 18% at year-end 2002. Tier 1 and total risk-based capital were negatively impacted by the increase in goodwill and intangibles from the GSS acquisition and the restructuring charges recorded in 2003; however, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital benefited from the stock issuance and from the issuance of $345 million of capital securities that qualify as Tier 1 capital, and total risk-based capital benefited by the issuance of $400 million of subordinated notes that qualified as Tier 2 capital. Primarily, increases in outstanding off-balance sheet indemnified securities lending transactions, as a result of the GSS acquisition, drove the increase in risk-weighted assets since year-end 2002.

At September 30, 2003, State Street Bank’s Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.5% and 12.8%, respectively, down from 16.4% and 16.5% at year-end 2002. Tier 1 and total risk-based capital were negatively impacted by the increase in goodwill and intangibles from the GSS acquisition and the restructuring charges recorded in 2003; however, total risk-based capital benefited from the issuance by State Street Bank of $400 million of subordinated notes that qualified as Tier 2 capital. Increases in outstanding off-balance sheet indemnified securities lending transactions drove the increase in risk-weighted assets since year-end 2002. State Street and State Street Bank had Tier 1 leverage ratios of 5.5% and 5.3%, respectively, at September 30, 2003, exceeding the regulatory minimum of 3% and the well-capitalized threshold of 5%. See Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

At September 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, both ratios for State Street and State Street Bank exceed the regulatory minimum of 4% and the well-capitalized threshold of 6% for the Tier 1 capital ratio, and the minimum of 8% and well-capitalized threshold of 10% for the total risk-based capital ratio.

State Street’s Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of State Street common stock for use in employee benefit programs and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2003, 8.3 million shares may be purchased under the stock purchase program. State Street employs a third-party broker-dealer to acquire shares for the Corporation’s stock purchase program on the open market.

TRADING ACTIVITIES: FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

As part of its trading activities, the Corporation assumes positions in both the foreign exchange and interest rate markets by buying and selling cash instruments and using financial derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange and interest rate options, and interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2003, the notional amount of these derivative instruments was $358.042 billion, of which $316.521 billion were foreign exchange forward contracts. Long and short foreign-exchange forward-positions are closely matched to minimize currency and interest rate risk. All foreign exchange contracts are valued daily at current market rates.

The following table presents State Street’s market risk for its trading activities as measured by its value at risk methodology:

Value at Risk for the nine months ended September 30,

(Dollars in millions)	Average		Maximum		Minimum
2003:
Foreign exchange products	$	1.0	$	2.6	$	.4
Interest rate products		1.7		2.8		1.2
2002:
Foreign exchange products	$	1.0	$	2.5	$	.4
Interest rate products		3.1		4.3		2.2

State Street compares actual daily profits and losses from trading activities to estimate one-day value at risk. During the first nine months of 2003, State Street did not experience any trading losses in excess of its end-of-day value at risk estimate.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued disclosure guidance for “critical accounting estimates.” The SEC defines “critical accounting estimates” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

State Street’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as included in State Street’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, and have been updated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. State Street’s critical accounting estimates are described in management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition as included in State Street’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. There have not been any significant changes in the factors or methodology used by management in determining its critical accounting estimates since December 2002, that are material in relation to the Corporation’s financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation has established and maintains disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
