FINANCIAL REVIEW
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
This Financial Review should be read in conjunction with The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Corporation" or "PNC") Consolidated
Financial Statements and Statistical Information included herein. Certain
prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation. For information regarding certain business risks, see the Risk
Factors and Risk Management sections in this Financial Review. Also, see the

(a) The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by the sum of
taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income.
Amortization, distributions on capital securities and mortgage banking risk
management activities are excluded for purposes of computing this ratio.
Excluding the impact of charges in 2001 related to strategic initiatives
and additions to reserves related to insured residual value exposures, the
efficiency ratios from continuing operations and from net income were
58.14% and 58.07%, respectively.

OVERVIEW
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial services companies
in the United States, operating businesses engaged in regional community
banking, corporate banking, real estate finance, asset-based lending, wealth
management, asset management and global fund services. The Corporation provides
certain products and services nationally and others in PNC's primary geographic
markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky. The
Corporation also provides certain banking, asset management and global fund
services internationally.
The most significant events affecting PNC's financial results in 2001 were
the actions PNC took to reposition its banking businesses. The impact of these
and other actions resulted in charges totaling $1.181 billion or $768 million
after tax.
PNC continues to pursue strategies to build a more diverse and valuable
business mix designed to create shareholder value over time. PNC's focus is on
increasing the contribution from more highly-valued businesses such as asset
management and processing while reducing lending leverage and improving the
risk/return characteristics of traditional banking businesses. BlackRock and
PFPC continued to grow revenues at attractive rates and contributed an
increasing proportion of the Corporation's earnings. While PNC Advisors was
adversely impacted by weak equity market conditions in 2001, customer growth
continued with further investment in the sales and brokerage force.
PNC's goal is to derive a greater proportion of its revenue from less
volatile, fee-based products and services. Over the past three years, PNC has
reduced loans by $20 billion and unfunded loan commitments by $25 billion and
the loans to deposits ratio has improved from 121% at December 31, 1998 to 80%
at December 31, 2001. The term "loans" in this report excludes loans held for
sale and securities that represent interests in pools of loans.
STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING
PNC took several actions in 2001 to accelerate the strategic repositioning of
its lending businesses that began in 1998. Loans were reduced $12.6 billion from
year end 2000 primarily due to residential mortgage securitizations and runoff,
transfers to held for sale and the managed reduction of institutional loans. A
total of $12.0 billion of credit exposure (comprised of loans outstanding,
unfunded commitments and letters of credit) including $6.2 billion of
outstandings were designated for exit or sale during the year, of which $10.1
billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, related to the institutional lending
portfolio. The remaining credit exposure and outstandings related to PNC's
vehicle leasing business that it decided to discontinue.
Historically, vehicle leasing had provided appropriate returns at
reasonable risk with returns primarily dependent upon residual value insurance
protection. Recently, circumstances in the vehicle leasing industry have changed
as depressed market conditions combined with manufacturers' pricing incentives
have significantly dampened revenues and weakened the used car market. In
addition, residual value protection has become more difficult and significantly
more costly to obtain. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2001 one of the companies
that issued residual value insurance policies to PNC was placed in liquidation.
PNC's vehicle leasing business had $1.9 billion in assets at December 31, 2001
that have been designated for exit and are expected to mature over a period of
approximately five years. Costs incurred in 2001 to exit this business and
additions to reserves related to insured residual value exposures totaled $135
million.
In connection with these repositioning actions and other strategic
initiatives, $1.2 billion of pretax charges were taken in 2001 as detailed in
the tables below. The charges related to institutional lending repositioning
reflect adjustments to market value that include the impact of deterioration in
asset quality and market liquidity conditions, among other factors.

portfolios had a total of $7.7 billion of credit exposure including $2.8 billion
of outstandings. At year end, $5.0 billion of credit exposure including $2.6
billion of outstandings was classified as held for sale, net of total charges of
$855 million that represented the excess of principal balances over the lower of
cost or market values. Details of the credit exposure and outstandings by

In the first quarter of 2001, PNC closed the sale of its residential mortgage
banking business. Certain closing date adjustments are currently in dispute
between PNC and the buyer, Washington Mutual Bank, FA. The ultimate financial
impact of the sale cannot be determined until the disputes are resolved. See
Note 24 Legal Proceedings for additional information.
See Strategic Repositioning in the Risk Factors section of this Financial
Review for additional information regarding certain risks associated with
executing these strategies.
RESTATEMENTS
Subsequent to year end, PNC announced two changes that affected 2001 results.
During 2001, the Corporation entered into transactions with subsidiaries of a
third party financial institution (American International Group, Inc.) involving
the sale of loans and venture capital investments and the receipt of preferred
interests in the subsidiaries.
At the time of the transactions, the loans and venture capital investments
were removed from PNC's balance sheet and the preferred interests in the
entities were recorded as securities available for sale in conformity with
accounting guidance received from PNC's independent auditors. In January 2002,
the Federal Reserve Board staff advised PNC that under generally accepted
accounting principles the subsidiaries of the third party financial institution
should be consolidated into the financial statements of PNC in preparing bank
holding company reports. After considering all the circumstances, PNC restated
its consolidated financial statements for the second and third quarters of 2001
to conform financial reporting with regulatory reporting requirements. All
amounts appearing in this report reflect the consolidation of these entities.
Loans in these entities are included in the consolidated balance sheet as
loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or market value.
Charges recorded at the dates the assets were sold into the entities were
reflected as charge-offs on those loans in portfolio and as valuation
adjustments in noninterest income on loans previously classified as held for
sale. Subsequent charges to adjust the carrying value of the loans held for sale
were also reflected as valuation adjustments.
The amounts contained in this report also include the restatement of the
results for the first quarter of 2001 to reflect the correction of an error
related to the accounting for the sale of the residential mortgage banking
business. This restatement reduced income from discontinued operations and net
income for 2001 by $35 million.
See Note 3 Restatements for additional information.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated net income for 2001 was $377 million or $1.26 per diluted share.
Excluding the effect of adopting the new accounting standard for financial
derivatives, net income was $382 million or $1.28 per diluted share compared
with $1.279 billion or $4.31 per diluted share for 2000. Income from continuing
operations in 2001 was $377 million or $1.26 per diluted share compared with
$1.214 billion or $4.09 per diluted share in 2000. Income from discontinued
operations was $5 million or $.02 per diluted share in 2001 compared with $65
million or $.22 per diluted share in 2000. Results for 2001 reflect the actions
taken during the year to accelerate the repositioning of PNC's lending
businesses and other strategic initiatives. These charges, totaling $1.2 billion
pretax, reduced 2001 net income by $768 million or $2.65 per diluted share.
Return on average common shareholders' equity was 5.65% and return on
average assets was .53% for 2001 compared with 21.63% and 1.68%, respectively,
for 2000.
29
The residential mortgage banking business is reflected in discontinued
operations throughout the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Accordingly, the earnings and net assets of the residential mortgage banking
business are shown separately on one line in the income statement and balance
sheet, respectively, for all periods presented. The remainder of the
presentation in this Financial Review reflects continuing operations, unless
otherwise noted.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income of $2.278 billion for 2001 increased
4% compared with 2000. The increase was primarily due to the impact of
transaction deposit growth and a lower rate environment that was partially
offset by the impact of continued downsizing of the loan portfolio. The net
interest margin widened 20 basis points to 3.84% for 2001 compared with 3.64%
for 2000. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the lower rate
environment, the benefit of growth in transaction deposits and the downsizing of
higher-cost, less valuable retail certificates and wholesale deposits.
The provision for credit losses was $903 million for 2001, which included
expense of $714 million associated with the institutional lending repositioning
initiatives described above. The provision was $136 million in 2000.
Noninterest income was $2.543 billion for 2001 compared with $2.891 billion
in 2000. Noninterest income in 2001 included charges of $259 million for
valuation adjustments on loans held for sale related to the institutional
lending repositioning and $17 million of charges for asset impairments
associated with other strategic initiatives. A $111 million increase in net
securities gains and growth in asset management, fund servicing, consumer
services and other revenue was more than offset by net losses of $179 million
resulting from lower valuations of equity management investments as well as
reduced brokerage and corporate services revenue as a result of lower capital
markets activity.
Noninterest expense was $3.338 billion for 2001 compared with $3.071
billion for 2000. Excluding charges in 2001 of $135 million related to PNC's
vehicle leasing business and $56 million of integration and severance costs
related to downsizing and other strategic initiatives, noninterest expense
increased 2% compared with 2000.
Total assets were $69.6 billion at December 31, 2001 compared with $69.8
billion at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2001, loans were $38 billion and
loans held for sale were $4.2 billion, including $2.6 billion of institutional
loans held for sale. At December 31, 2000, loans were $50.6 billion and loans
held for sale were $1.7 billion, consisting primarily of student loans. Average
interest-earning assets were $59.3 billion for 2001 compared with $59.9 billion
for 2000. A decline in average loans and average loans held for sale was largely
offset by an increase in average securities available for sale.
Shareholders' equity totaled $5.8 billion at December 31, 2001 compared
with $6.7 billion at December 31, 2000. The payment of dividends, the impact of
share buybacks, the retirement of preferred stock and lower earnings in 2001
accounted for the decline. During 2001, PNC repurchased 9.5 million shares of
common stock and purchased and retired preferred stock for $301 million. The
regulatory capital ratios were 6.8% for leverage, 7.8% for tier I risk-based and
11.8% for total risk-based capital at December 31, 2001 compared with 8.0% for
leverage, 8.6% for tier I risk-based and 12.6% for total risk-based capital at
December 31, 2000.
Nonperforming assets were $391 million at December 31, 2001 compared with
$372 million at December 31, 2000. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total
loans, loans held for sale and foreclosed assets was .93% at December 31, 2001
compared with .71% at December 31, 2000.
The allowance for credit losses was $630 million and represented 1.66% of
total loans and 299% of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2001. The comparable
amounts were $675 million, 1.33% and 209%, respectively, at December 31, 2000.
See Note 11 Allowance For Credit Losses, Critical Accounting Policies and
Judgments in the Risk Factors section and Credit Risk in the Risk Management
section of this Financial Review.
2002 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Management expects 2002 will be another challenging year with a weak economy and
moderate capital markets recovery, if any. The following challenges, and the
Corporation's success in addressing them, will be among the factors that
influence PNC's 2002 operating results and its ability to redeploy capital,
mitigate or avoid additional valuation charges to earnings, and meet revenue and
earnings targets for 2002:
- - Expeditious disposition of loans held for sale without significant
valuation losses;
- - Maintaining stable asset quality in all loan portfolios;
- - Successfully integrating the National Bank of Canada ("NBOC") asset-based
lending acquisition and managing the related serviced portfolio as
described on page 35;
- - Continuing to invest in and sustain revenue growth of fee-based businesses
such as asset management and processing notwithstanding market volatility
and intense competition; and
- - Continuing to improve the risk/return dynamics of traditional banking
businesses by building value-added customer relationships, leveraging
technology and managing the revenue/expense relationship.
See the Risk Factors, Risk Management and Forward-Looking Statements sections of
this Financial Review for additional information.

REVIEW OF BUSINESSES
PNC operates seven major businesses engaged in regional community banking,
corporate banking, real estate finance, asset-based lending, wealth management,
asset management and global fund services.
Results of individual businesses are presented based on PNC's management
accounting practices and the Corporation's management structure. There is no
comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting
equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles; therefore, the financial
results of individual businesses are not necessarily comparable with similar
information for any other financial services institution. Financial results are
presented, to the extent practicable, as if each business operated on a
stand-alone basis.
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income
statement assignments and transfers to measure performance of the businesses.
Methodologies change from time to time as management accounting practices are
enhanced and businesses change. Securities available for sale or borrowings and
related net interest income are assigned based on the net asset or liability
position of each business. Capital is assigned based on management's assessment
of inherent risks and equity levels at independent companies providing similar
products and services. The allowance for credit losses is allocated based on
management's assessment of risk inherent in the loan portfolios. Support areas
not directly aligned with the businesses are allocated primarily based on the
utilization of services.
Total business financial results differ from consolidated results from
continuing operations primarily due to differences between management accounting
practices and generally accepted accounting principles, equity management
activities, minority interest in income of consolidated entities, residual asset
and liability management activities, unallocated reserves, eliminations and
unassigned items, the impact of which is reflected in the "Other" category.
Details of inter-segment revenues are included in Note 26 Segment Reporting. The
operating results and financial impact of the disposition of the residential
mortgage banking business, previously PNC Mortgage, are included in discontinued
operations.
The impact of the institutional lending repositioning and other strategic
actions that occurred during 2001 is reflected in the business results presented
in the table below. The charges are separately identified in the business income
statements. Performance ratios in the results of individual businesses reflect
the impact of the charges.

Regional Community Banking provides deposit, branch-based brokerage, electronic
banking and credit products and services to retail customers as well as deposit,
credit, treasury management and capital markets products and services to small
businesses primarily within PNC's geographic region.
Regional Community Banking's strategic focus is on driving sustainable
revenue growth, aggressively managing the revenue/expense relationship and
improving the risk/return dynamic of this business. Regional Community Banking
utilizes knowledge-based marketing capabilities to analyze customer demographic
information, transaction patterns and delivery preferences to develop customized
banking packages focused on improving customer satisfaction and profitability.
Regional Community Banking has also invested heavily in building a sales
culture and infrastructure while improving efficiency. Capital investments have
been strategically directed towards the expansion of multi-channel distribution,
consistent with customer preferences, as well as the delivery of relevant
customer information to all distribution channels.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation made the decision to
discontinue its vehicle leasing business. This portfolio is expected to mature
over a period of approximately five years. Costs incurred in 2001 to exit this
business and additions to reserves related to insured residual value exposures
totaled $135 million. See Strategic Repositioning and Critical Accounting
Policies and Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for
additional information. Also, pretax charges of $13 million were incurred for
asset impairment and severance costs related to other strategic initiatives.
Regional Community Banking earnings were $596 million in 2001 compared with
$590 million in 2000.
Total revenue increased 10% to $2.231 billion for 2001. Excluding net
securities gains from both periods, revenue increased 6% in the period-to-period
comparison primarily due to higher consumer transaction deposit activity in
2001, gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and sales of student loans in
repayment.
The provision for credit losses for 2001 was $50 million compared with $45
million for 2000. See Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments in the Risk
Factors section and Credit Risk in the Risk Management section of this Financial
Review for additional information.
Total loans decreased in the comparison primarily due to the reduction of
residential mortgage loans resulting from sales and securitizations and the
continued downsizing of the indirect automobile lending portfolio. Securities
available for sale increased in the year-to-year comparison due to the retention
of interests from the securitization of residential mortgage loans combined with
net securities purchases for balance sheet and interest rate risk management
activities.
Transaction deposits grew 11% on average in the comparison primarily driven
by an increase in money market deposits that resulted from targeted consumer
marketing initiatives to add new accounts and retain existing customers as
higher cost certificates of deposit were de-emphasized.

Corporate Banking provides credit, equipment leasing, treasury management and
capital markets products and services primarily to mid-sized corporations and
government entities within PNC's geographic region. The strategic focus for
Corporate Banking is to adapt its institutional expertise to the middle market
with an emphasis on higher-margin noncredit products and services, especially
treasury management and capital markets, and to improve the risk/return
characteristics of its institutional lending business.
During 2001, Corporate Banking took actions to accelerate the repositioning
of its institutional lending business. A total of $9.7 billion of credit
exposure including $4.0 billion of outstandings were designated for exit or
sale. Charges related to these actions were $891 million, including $41 million
of charge-offs on loans designated for exit in the first quarter of 2001.
Institutional lending credits designated for exit or sale were primarily in the
communications portfolio, certain portions of the energy, metals and mining and
large corporate portfolios, and relationships where the potential for future
returns was considered unacceptable in relation to risk. At December 31, 2001,
the exit and held for sale portfolios had total credit exposure of $7.2 billion
including outstandings of $2.5 billion. Of these amounts, $4.6 billion and $2.3
billion, respectively, were classified as held for sale, net of charges of $850
million that represented the excess of principal balances outstanding over the
lower of cost or market values. The Corporation is pursuing opportunities to
liquidate the held for sale portfolio expeditiously. Gains and losses may result
from the liquidation of loans held for sale to the extent actual performance
differs from estimates inherent in the recorded amounts or market valuations
change. See Strategic Repositioning and Critical Accounting Policies and
Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for additional
information. Additionally, a pretax charge of $16 million was incurred in 2001
for asset impairment and severance costs.
Corporate Banking incurred a net loss of $375 million in 2001 compared with
earnings of $241 million in 2000.
Total revenue of $764 million for 2001 decreased $80 million compared with
2000. Credit-related revenue decreased 1% compared with 2000 as the impact of a
wider net interest margin was more than offset by a decrease in average loans.
The decrease in average loans in 2001 was primarily due to downsizing partially
offset by the expansion of equipment leasing. Noncredit revenue includes
noninterest income and the benefit of compensating balances received in lieu of
fees. Noncredit revenue decreased $77 million compared with 2000 primarily due
to the impact of weak capital market conditions that resulted in lower capital
markets fees and losses resulting from lower valuations of equity investments.
Total credit costs in the 2001 consolidated provision for credit losses
were $733 million, including $57 million reflected in the Corporate Banking
provision for credit losses and $676 million reflected in the institutional
lending repositioning charge that represented net charge-offs. Additionally, $76
million was charged against the allowance for credit losses. The institutional
lending repositioning charge also included $215 million of valuation adjustments
related to loans held for sale. The provision for credit losses was $79 million
in 2000. See Strategic Repositioning and Critical Accounting Policies and
Judgments in the Risk Factors section and Credit Risk in the Risk Management
section of this Financial Review for additional information.
Treasury management and capital markets products offered through Corporate
Banking are sold by several businesses across the Corporation and related
profitability is included in the results of those businesses. Consolidated
revenue from treasury management was $331 million for 2001 compared with $341
million for 2000. Increases in fee revenue were more than offset by lower income
earned on customers' deposit balances resulting from the lower interest rate
environment in 2001 and the impact of downsizing institutional lending.
Consolidated revenue from capital markets was $123 million for 2001, a $10
million decrease compared with 2000 due to weak capital market conditions and
the impact of changing customer relationships due to downsizing certain lending
portfolios.

PNC Real Estate Finance provides credit, capital markets, treasury management,
commercial mortgage loan servicing and other financial products and services to
developers, owners and investors in commercial real estate. PNC's commercial
real estate financial services platform provides processing services through
Midland Loan Services, Inc., a leading third-party provider of loan servicing
and technology to the commercial real estate finance industry, and national
syndication of affordable housing equity through Columbia Housing Partners, LP
("Columbia").
On October 17, 2001, PNC completed the acquisition of certain lending and
servicing-related business from TRI Acceptance Corporation. The acquisition
expands PNC Real Estate Finance's reach in multi-family finance, combining
permanent loan capacity with PNC's traditional interim lending activities and
Columbia's tax credit syndication capabilities.
Over the past three years, PNC Real Estate Finance has been strategically
shifting to a more balanced and valuable revenue stream by focusing on real
estate processing businesses and increasing the value of its lending business by
seeking to sell more fee-based products.
During 2001, PNC Real Estate Finance took actions to accelerate the
downsizing of its institutional lending business. A total of $400 million of
credit exposure including $250 million of outstandings were designated for exit
or held for sale. Charges related to these actions were $34 million. At December
31, 2001, $324 million of credit exposure including $244 million of outstandings
were classified as held for sale, net of charges of $34 million that represented
the excess of principal balances outstanding over the lower of cost or market
values. See Strategic Repositioning and Critical Accounting Policies and
Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for additional
information. A $1 million pretax charge for severance costs was incurred in
2001.
PNC Real Estate Finance earned $38 million in 2001 compared with $84
million in 2000.
Total revenue was $213 million for 2001 compared with $229 million for
2000. The decrease was primarily due to higher amortization of servicing
intangibles caused by lower interest rates and lower commercial mortgage-backed
securitization gains. The commercial mortgage servicing portfolio increased 26%
to $68 billion at December 31, 2001 as shown below:

Total credit costs in the 2001 consolidated provision for credit losses were $44
million, including $16 million reflected in the PNC Real Estate Finance
provision for credit losses and $28 million reflected in the institutional
lending repositioning charge that represented net charge-offs. Additionally, $14
million was charged against the allowance for credit losses. The institutional
lending repositioning charge also included $6 million of valuation adjustments
related to loans held for sale. The provision for 2000 reflected a net recovery
of $7 million. See Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments in the Risk
Factors section and Credit Risk in the Risk Management section of this Financial
Review for additional information.
Noninterest expense was $157 million for 2001 compared with $145 million in
the prior year. The increase was primarily due to non-cash (passive) losses on
affordable housing investments that were more than offset by related income tax
credits.

PNC Business Credit provides asset-based lending, capital markets and treasury
management products and services to middle market customers nationally. PNC
Business Credit's lending services include loans secured by accounts receivable,
inventory, machinery and equipment, and other collateral, and its customers
include manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, retailing and service industry
companies.
In January 2002, PNC Business Credit acquired a portion of the U.S.
asset-based lending business of NBOC. As a result of this acquisition, PNC
Business Credit established six new marketing offices and enhanced its presence
as one of the premier asset-based lenders for the middle market customer
segment. At the acquisition date, credit exposure acquired was approximately
$2.6 billion including $1.5 billion of loan outstandings. None of the loans were
nonperforming at acquisition.
Additionally, PNC Business Credit agreed to service a portion of NBOC's
remaining U.S. asset-based loan portfolio ("serviced portfolio") for a period of
eighteen months. The serviced portfolio consisted of approximately $670 million
of credit exposure including $463 million of outstandings as of the acquisition
date. At closing, $138 million of these outstandings were classified as
nonperforming. The serviced portfolio's credit exposure and outstandings are
expected to be reduced through managed liquidation and runoff during the
eighteen-month servicing period. At the end of the servicing term, NBOC has the
right to transfer the then remaining serviced portfolio to PNC Business Credit.
PNC Business Credit established a liability of $112 million in 2002 as part of
the allocation of the purchase price to reflect this obligation. The amount of
this liability will be assessed quarterly with any changes recognized in
earnings. During the servicing term, NBOC will be responsible for realized
credit losses with respect to the serviced portfolio to a maximum of $50
million. If the right to transfer is exercised, the Corporation is responsible
for realized credit losses on the serviced portfolio that may occur during the
eighteen-month period in excess of certain NBOC specific reserves related to
those assets, when applicable (available only on specified credits), and the $50
million first loss position. PNC Business Credit management currently expects
the amounts indicated above to be adequate to cover potential losses in
connection with the serviced portfolio.
During 2001, as part of the overall lending repositioning, a total of $88
million of credit exposure including $78 million of outstandings was designated
for sale. At December 31, 2001, $40 million of credit exposure including $30
million of outstandings was classified as held for sale, net of charges of $48
million that represented the excess of principal balances outstanding over the
lower of cost or market values. See Strategic Repositioning and Critical
Accounting Policies and Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this Financial
Review for additional information.
PNC Business Credit earnings were $22 million in 2001 compared with $49
million in 2000.
Revenue was $134 million for 2001, a $15 million or 13% increase compared
with 2000 primarily due to higher net interest income, as a result of loan
growth, and higher noninterest income. The increase in noninterest income
primarily resulted from gains on sales of equity interests received as
compensation in conjunction with lending relationships. Such gains, if any, are
recognized infrequently and may produce variability in revenues from period to
period.
Total credit costs in the 2001 consolidated provision for credit losses
were $29 million, including $19 million reflected in the PNC Business Credit
provision for credit losses and $10 million reflected in the institutional
lending repositioning charge that represented net charge-offs. The institutional
lending repositioning charge also included $38 million of valuation adjustments
related to loans held for sale. The provision for credit losses was $12 million
in 2000. PNC Business Credit loans are secured loans to borrowers, many with a
weaker credit risk rating. As a result, these loans exhibit a higher risk of
default. PNC Business Credit attempts to mitigate this risk through higher
interest rates, direct control of cash flows, and collateral. The impact of
these loans on the provision for credit losses and the level of nonperforming
assets may be even more pronounced during periods of economic downturn. See
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments in the Risk Factors section and
Credit Risk in the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for
additional information.

PNC Advisors provides a full range of tailored investment products and services
to affluent individuals and families, including full-service brokerage through
J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc. ("Hilliard Lyons") and investment advisory
services to the ultra-affluent through Hawthorn. PNC Advisors also serves as
investment manager and trustee for employee benefit plans and charitable and
endowment assets. PNC Advisors is focused on selectively expanding Hilliard
Lyons and Hawthorn, increasing market share in PNC's primary geographic region
and leveraging its expansive distribution platform.
PNC Advisors earned $143 million in 2001 compared with $173 million in
2000. Earnings for 2001 decreased 17% compared with the prior year primarily due
to a $57 million decrease in total revenue resulting from the impact of weak
equity market conditions on brokerage activity and asset management fees.
Investment management and trust revenue benefited from accrual adjustments of
$15 million in 2001 and $11 million in 2000. Management expects that revenue and
earnings in this business will continue to be challenged at least until equity
market conditions improve.
Noninterest expense decreased $7 million in the year-to-year comparison
primarily due to lower production-based compensation and expense management
initiatives.

BlackRock is one of the largest publicly traded investment management firms in
the United States with approximately $239 billion of assets under management at
December 31, 2001. BlackRock manages assets on behalf of institutions and
individuals worldwide through a variety of fixed income, liquidity and equity
mutual funds, separate accounts and alternative investment products. Mutual
funds include the flagship fund families, BlackRock Funds and BlackRock
Provident Institutional Funds. In addition, BlackRock provides risk management
and investment system services to institutional investors under the BlackRock
Solutions name.
BlackRock continues to focus on delivering superior investment performance
to clients while pursuing strategies to build on core strengths and to
selectively expand the firm's expertise and breadth of distribution.
Earnings increased 23% in the year-to-year comparison primarily due to a
$35 billion or 17% increase in assets under management. New client mandates and
additional funding from existing clients resulted in $31 billion or 90% of the
increase in assets under management.
Total revenue for 2001 increased $56 million or 12% compared with 2000
primarily due to new institutional liquidity and fixed-income business and
strong sales of BlackRock Solutions products. The increase in operating expense
in the year-to-year comparison supported revenue growth and business expansion.

PFPC is the largest full-service mutual fund transfer agent and second largest
provider of mutual fund accounting and administration services in the United
States, providing a wide range of fund services to the investment management
industry. PFPC also provides processing solutions to the international
marketplace through its Ireland and Luxembourg operations.
To meet the growing needs of the European marketplace, PFPC continues its
pursuit of offshore expansion. PFPC is also focusing technological resources on
targeted Web-based initiatives and exploring strategic alliances.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, PFPC incurred $36 million of pretax charges
largely related to a plan to consolidate certain facilities as a follow-up to
the integration of the Investor Services Group ("ISG") acquisition. The charges
primarily reflect termination costs related to exiting certain lease agreements
and the abandonment of related leasehold improvements.
PFPC earned $36 million in 2001 compared with $47 million in 2000.
Excluding facilities consolidation and other charges in 2001, earnings increased
$12 million or 26% in the year-to-year comparison and the return on assigned
capital and operating margin improved to 28% and 24%, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to growth in transfer agency and subaccounting revenue that
resulted from an increase in shareholder accounts serviced, and $9 million of
nonrecurring fee adjustments.
Revenue of $738 million for 2001 increased $64 million compared with 2000.
An increase in shareholder accounts serviced drove strong performance in
transfer agency and subaccounting revenues. The benefit of growth in
accounting/administration assets and shareholder accounts more than offset the
impact on revenue of lower custody assets serviced. Revenue growth rates in this
business may be pressured by lower equity valuations, pricing and other
competitive factors. See Business and Economic Conditions and Fund Servicing in
the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for additional information
regarding matters that could impact fund servicing revenue.
Operating expense increased 7% in the year-to-year comparison as the impact
of business expansion was partially mitigated by expense management initiatives
and the comparative impact of ISG integration costs that were incurred in the
prior year.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME REVIEW
NET INTEREST INCOME
Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction between
the volume and composition of earning assets, related yields and associated
funding costs. Accordingly, portfolio size, composition and yields earned and
funding costs can have a significant impact on net interest income and margin.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income of $2.278 billion for 2001 increased
4% compared with 2000. The increase was primarily due to the impact of
transaction deposit growth and a lower rate environment that was partially
offset by the impact of continued downsizing of the loan portfolio. The net
interest margin widened 20 basis points to 3.84% for 2001 compared with 3.64%
for 2000. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the lower rate
environment, the benefit of growth in transaction deposits and downsizing of
higher-cost, less valuable retail certificates and wholesale deposits. See
Interest Rate Risk in the Risk Management section of this Financial Review for
additional information regarding interest rate risk.
Loans represented 76% of average interest-earning assets for 2001 compared
with 84% for 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the continued downsizing of
certain institutional lending portfolios and the securitization of residential
mortgage loans during 2001.
NET INTEREST INCOME ANALYSIS
39
Securities represented 18% of average interest-earning assets for 2001 compared
with 10% for 2000. The increase was primarily due to the retention of interests
from the securitization of residential mortgage loans and net securities
purchases upon redeployment of funds resulting from loan downsizing and interest
rate risk management activities.
Funding cost is affected by the volume and composition of funding sources
as well as related rates paid thereon. Average deposits comprised 64% and 66% of
total sources of funds for 2001 and 2000, respectively, with the remainder
primarily comprised of wholesale funding obtained at prevailing market rates.
Average interest-bearing demand and money market deposits increased $2.6
billion or 14% compared with 2000, primarily reflecting the impact of strategic
marketing initiatives to grow more valuable transaction accounts, while all
other interest-bearing deposit categories decreased in the year-to-year
comparison as management de-emphasized these more costly sources of funds.
Average borrowed funds for 2001 were essentially flat compared with 2000.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses was $903 million for 2001 compared with $136
million for 2000. The increase was primarily related to provision expense of
$714 million to provide for net charge-offs associated with institutional
lending repositioning initiatives in 2001. As a result of these charge-offs and
other reserve activity in 2001, the allowance for credit losses was $630 million
at December 31, 2001 compared with $675 million at December 31, 2000. See Credit
Risk in the Risk Management section and Critical Accounting Policies and
Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for additional
information regarding credit risk.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $2.543 billion for 2001 compared with $2.891 billion in
2000.
Asset management fees of $848 million for 2001 increased $39 million or 5%
primarily driven by new institutional business and strong fixed-income
performance at BlackRock which more than offset decreases at PNC Advisors
primarily due to the impact of declining equity markets. Consolidated assets
under management were $284 billion at December 31, 2001, a 12% increase compared
with December 31, 2000. Fund servicing fees were $724 million for 2001, a $70
million increase compared with 2000 primarily driven by new client growth.
Service charges on deposits increased 6% to $218 million for 2001 mainly
due to an increase in transaction deposit accounts. Brokerage fees were $206
million for 2001 compared with $249 million for 2000 as increased fees from
sales of insurance products were more than offset by declines in other brokerage
revenue due to weak equity markets.
Consumer services revenue of $229 million for 2001 increased $20 million or
10% compared with 2000 mainly due to the expansion of PNC's ATM network and the
increase in transaction deposit accounts.
Corporate services revenue was $60 million for 2001 compared with $342
million for 2000. Revenue in 2001 was adversely impacted by valuation
adjustments on loans held for sale of $259 million. In addition, increases in
treasury management and CMBS servicing revenue were more than offset by the
comparative impact of losses resulting from lower valuations of equity
investments and lower capital markets fees in 2001.
Equity management, which is comprised of venture capital activities,
reflected net losses of $179 million for 2001 compared with net gains of $133
million in 2000. The decrease primarily resulted from a decline in the estimated
fair value of both limited partnership and direct investments. At December 31,
2001, equity management investments held by PNC and consolidated subsidiaries
totaled approximately $574 million. Approximately 53% of that amount is invested
directly in a variety of companies and 47% is invested in various limited
partnerships. The valuation of equity management assets is subject to the
performance of the underlying companies as well as market conditions and may be
volatile. The Corporation's strategy in equity management is to attract funding
from investors and generate a greater proportion of revenues from fees earned by
managing investments for others. See Business and Economic Conditions and
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments in the Risk Factors section of this
Financial Review for additional information regarding equity management assets.
Net securities gains were $131 million for 2001 compared with $20 million
in 2000.
Other noninterest income was $306 million for 2001 compared with $269
million for 2000. Excluding $12 million of asset write-downs in the fourth
quarter of 2001, other noninterest income increased 18% primarily due to higher
revenue from trading activities and gains on the sale of residential mortgage
loans. Net trading income included in other noninterest income was $142 million
in 2001 compared with $84 million in 2000. See details in Note 7 Trading
Activities.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $3.338 billion for 2001 compared with $3.071 billion for
2000. Costs to exit the vehicle leasing business, including the impairment of
goodwill associated with a prior acquisition and employee severance costs, and
additions to reserves related to insured residual value exposures totaled $135
million and are included in 2001 noninterest expense. In addition, $56 million
of integration and severance costs related to other strategic initiatives were
incurred in 2001. Excluding these items, noninterest expense increased 2%
compared with 2000. The increase was primarily in businesses that have shown
higher revenue growth including Regional Community Banking, BlackRock and PFPC.
Average full-time equivalent employees totaled approximately 24,500 and 24,100
for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase was mainly in asset management and
processing businesses.
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
LOANS
Loans were $38.0 billion at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $12.6 billion from
year end 2000 primarily due to residential mortgage securitizations and runoff,

LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale were $4.2 billion at December 31, 2001 compared with $1.7
billion at December 31, 2000. In the fourth quarter of 2001, PNC designated for
exit $3.1 billion of loans and $7.9 billion of institutional credit exposure. Of
these amounts, $2.3 billion, net of $.6 billion of related charges, with total
credit exposure of $4.6 billion were transferred to loans held for sale.
Approximately $276 million of loans held at December 31, 2001 by subsidiaries of
a third-party financial institution are classified in the consolidated financial
statements as loans held for sale. Substantially all student loans are
classified as loans held for sale. See Note 14 Securitizations for information

SECURITIES
Total securities at December 31, 2001 were $13.9 billion compared with $5.9
billion at December 31, 2000. Total securities represented 20% of total assets
at December 31, 2001 compared with 8% at December 31, 2000. The increase was
primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities during
2001 and the retention of interests from the securitization of residential
mortgage loans as loans declined and were replaced with securities.
At December 31, 2001, the securities available for sale balance included a
net unrealized loss of $132 million, which represented the difference between
fair value and amortized cost. The comparable amount at December 31, 2000 was a
net unrealized loss of $54 million. Net unrealized gains and losses in the
securities available for sale portfolio are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss, net of tax or, for the portion attributable to a
hedged risk as part of a fair value hedge strategy, in net income. The expected
weighted-average life of securities available for sale was 4 years at
41
December 31, 2001 compared with 4 years and 5 months at December 31, 2000.
Securities designated as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and
are assets of subsidiaries of a third party financial institution, which are
consolidated in PNC's financial statements. The expected weighted-average life
of securities held to maturity was 18 years and 11 months at December 31, 2001.
PNC had no securities held to maturity at December 31, 2000.

Total funding sources were $59.4 billion at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Demand
and money market deposits increased due to ongoing strategic marketing efforts
to retain customers, as higher-cost, less valuable retail certificates of
deposit were de-emphasized. The change in the composition of borrowed funds
reflected a shift within categories to manage overall funding costs. See

CAPITAL
The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, the ability to engage in expanded business activities, the ability
to pay dividends, the level of deposit insurance costs, and the level and nature
of regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial institution's
capital strength. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation and each bank subsidiary
were considered "well-capitalized" based on regulatory capital ratio
requirements. See Note 19 Regulatory Matters and Supervision and Regulation in
the Risk Factors section of this Financial Review for additional information.

During 2001, PNC purchased a portion and redeemed the balance of the
outstanding shares of Fixed/Adjustable Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock Series
F for approximately $301 million.
During 2001, PNC repurchased 9.5 million shares of its common stock. On
January 3, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to purchase
up to 35 million shares of its common stock through February 29, 2004. These
shares may be purchased in the open market or privately negotiated transactions.
This authorization terminated any prior authorization. The extent and timing of
any share repurchases will depend on a number of factors including, among
others, progress in disposing of loans held for sale, regulatory capital
considerations, alternative uses of capital and receipt of regulatory approvals
if then required.
RISK FACTORS
The Corporation is subject to a number of risks including, among others, those
described below and in the Risk Management and Forward-Looking Statements
sections of this Financial Review. These factors and others could impact the
Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations.
BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Corporation's business and results of operations are sensitive to general
business and economic conditions in the United States. These conditions include
the level and movement of interest rates, inflation, monetary supply,
fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, and the strength of the
U.S. economy, in general, and the regional economies in which the Corporation
conducts business. A sustained weakness or further weakening of the economy
could decrease the value of loans held for sale, decrease the demand for loans
and other products and services offered by the Corporation, increase usage of
unfunded commitments or increase the number of customers and counterparties who
become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their
loans or other obligations to the Corporation. An increase in the number of
delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in a higher level of
nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, provision for credit losses, and
valuation adjustments on loans held for sale. Changes in interest rates could
affect the value of certain on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet financial
instruments of the Corporation. Higher interest rates would also increase the
Corporation's cost to borrow funds and may increase the rate paid on deposits.
Changes in interest rates could also affect the value of assets under
management. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, certain assets under
management would likely be negatively impacted by reduced asset values and
increased redemptions. Also, changes in equity markets could affect the value of
equity investments and the value of net assets under management and
administration. A decline in the equity markets adversely affected results in
2001 and could continue to negatively affect noninterest revenues in future
periods.
43
STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING
The Corporation took several actions in 2001 to accelerate the strategic
repositioning of its lending business that began in 1998. These actions entail a
degree of risk pending completion.
At December 31, 2001, $5.0 billion of institutional lending credit exposure
including $2.6 billion of outstandings were classified as held for sale. A total
of $169 million of these loans was included in nonperforming assets at that
date. The loans are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value.
The estimation of fair market values involves a number of judgments, and is
inherently uncertain. In addition, the value of loan assets is affected by a
variety of company, industry, economic and other factors, and can be volatile.
If the value of loans held for sale deteriorates prior to disposition, valuation
adjustments will be made through charges to earnings. Moreover, deterioration in
the condition of the borrowers could lead to additional loans being placed on
nonperforming status. See Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments for
additional information.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation decided to discontinue
its vehicle leasing business and recorded charges of $135 million related to
exit costs and additions to reserves related to insured residual value
exposures. At December 31, 2001, approximately $1.9 billion of vehicle leases
remained on the Corporation's books. These leases are expected to mature over a
period of approximately five years. During this period, the Corporation will
continue to be subject to risks inherent in the vehicle leasing business,
including credit risk and the risk that vehicles returned during or at the
conclusion of the lease term cannot be disposed of at a price at least as great
as the Corporation's remaining investment in the vehicles after application of
any available residual value insurance or related reserves.
In January 2001, PNC sold its residential mortgage banking business.
Certain closing date purchase price adjustments aggregating approximately $300
million pretax are currently in dispute between the parties. The Corporation has
established a receivable of approximately $140 million to reflect additional
purchase price it believes is due from the buyer. The buyer has taken the
position that the purchase price it has already paid should be reduced by
approximately $160 million. The Corporation has established specific reserves
related to a portion of its recorded receivable. The purchase agreement requires
that an independent public accounting firm determine the final adjustments. The
buyer also has filed a lawsuit against the Corporation seeking compensatory
damages with respect to certain of the disputed matters that the Corporation
believes are covered by the process provided in the purchase agreement,
unquantified punitive damages and declaratory and other relief. Management
intends to assert the Corporation's positions vigorously. Management believes
that, net of available reserves, an adverse outcome, expected to be recorded in
discontinued operations, could be material to net income in the period in which
recorded, but that the final disposition of this matter will not be material to
the Corporation's financial position.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS
The Corporation's consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the
application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are
described in Note 1 Accounting Policies. Certain of these policies require
numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove
inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect PNC's reported
results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in
underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a
material impact on PNC's future financial condition and results of operations.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining
a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated
probable credit losses. Management's determination of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the credit portfolio and other
relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it
requires material estimates, including, among others, expected default
probabilities, loss given default, expected commitment usage, the amounts and
timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, value of collateral,
estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages, and general
amounts for historical loss experience. The process also considers economic
conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the various
credit portfolios. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant
change. Also, the allocation of the allowance to specific loan pools is based on
historical loss trends and management's judgment concerning those trends.
Commercial loans are the largest category of credits and are the most sensitive
to changes in assumptions and judgments underlying the determination of the
allowance. As such, approximately $467 million or 74% of the total allowance at
December 31, 2001 has been allocated to the commercial loan category. This
allocation also considers other relevant factors such as actual versus estimated
losses, regional and national economic conditions, business segment and
portfolio concentrations, industry competition and consolidation, the impact of
government regulations, and risk of potential estimation or judgmental errors.
To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional
provision for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings
in future periods.
44
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans are classified as held for sale based on management's intent to sell them.
At the initial transfer date of a loan from portfolio to held for sale, any
lower of cost or market ("LOCOM") adjustment is recorded as a charge-off. This
results in a new cost basis. Any subsequent adjustment as a result of the LOCOM
analysis is recognized as a valuation adjustment with changes included in
noninterest income. Although the market value for certain held for sale assets
may be readily obtainable, other assets require significant judgments by
management as to the value that could be realized at the balance sheet date.
These assumptions include but are not limited to the cash flows generated from
the asset, the timing of a sale, the value of any collateral, the market
conditions for the particular credit, overall investor demand for these assets
and the determination of a proper discount rate. Changes in market conditions
and actual liquidation experience may result in additional valuation adjustments
that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.
EQUITY MANAGEMENT ASSET VALUATION
Equity management assets are valued at each balance sheet date based primarily
on either, in the case of limited partnership investments, the financial
statements received from the limited partnership or, with respect to direct
investments, the estimated fair value. Changes in the market value of these
investments are reflected in the Corporation's results of operations as equity
management income. The value of limited partnership investments is based on the
financial statements received from the general partners. Due to the nature of
the direct investments, management must make assumptions as to future
performance, financial condition, liquidity, availability of capital, and market
conditions, among others, to determine the estimated fair value of the
investments. Market conditions and actual performance of the companies invested
in could differ from these assumptions resulting in lower valuations that could
adversely impact earnings in future periods.
LEASE RESIDUALS
Leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments and the estimated residual
value of the leased property, less unearned income. The Corporation provides
financing for various types of equipment, aircraft, energy and power systems and
rolling stock through a variety of lease arrangements. A significant portion of
the residual value is guaranteed by governmental entities or covered by residual
value insurance. Residual values are subject to judgments as to the value of the
underlying equipment that can be affected by changes in economic and market
conditions and the financial viability of the residual guarantors and insurers.
To the extent not guaranteed or assumed by a third party, or otherwise insured
against, the Corporation bears the risk of ownership of the leased assets
including the risk that the actual value of the leased assets at the end of the
lease term will be less than the residual value which could result in a charge
and adversely impact earnings in future periods.
GOODWILL AND OTHER AMORTIZABLE ASSETS
Goodwill arising from business acquisitions represents the value attributable to
unidentifiable intangible elements in the business acquired. The majority of the
Corporation's goodwill relates to value inherent in fund servicing and banking
businesses. The value of this goodwill is dependent upon the Corporation's
ability to provide quality, cost effective services in the face of competition
from other market leaders on a national and global basis. This ability in turn
relies upon continuing investments in processing systems, the development of
value-added service features, and the ease of use of the Corporation's services.
As such, goodwill value is supported ultimately by revenue which is driven
by the volume of business transacted and the market value of the assets under
administration. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth or the
Corporation's inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained
periods can lead to impairment of goodwill which could result in a charge and
adversely impact earnings in future periods.
Total goodwill and other amortizable assets were $2.4 billion at December
31, 2001.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Corporation operates in highly regulated industries. Applicable laws and
regulations, among other things, restrict permissible activities and investments
and require compliance with consumer-related protections for loan, deposit,
fiduciary, mutual fund and other customers. The consequences of noncompliance
can include substantial monetary and nonmonetary sanctions. In addition, the
Corporation is subject to comprehensive examination and supervision by, among
other regulatory bodies, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. These regulatory agencies generally have broad
discretion to impose restrictions and limitations on the operations of a
regulated entity where the agencies determine, among other things, that such
operations are unsafe or unsound, fail to comply with applicable law or are
otherwise inconsistent with laws and regulations or with the supervisory
policies of these agencies. The examination process and the regulators'
associated supervisory tools could materially impact the conduct, growth and
profitability of the
45
Corporation's operations. Additional information is included in Note 19
Regulatory Matters and Item 1 of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RESTATEMENTS
Early in 2002, the Corporation announced two restatements affecting previously
reported financial results. See Note 3 Restatements. The Corporation is a
defendant in several lawsuits filed after announcement of the restatement
related to consolidation of subsidiaries of a third party financial institution.
The staffs of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve
Board have informed the Corporation that they are conducting inquiries into the
transactions that are the subject of such restatement. In addition, the
reputational risk created by the restatements may have consequences to the
Corporation in such areas as business generation and retention, funding and
liquidity that cannot be predicted at this time.
MONETARY AND OTHER POLICIES
The financial services industry is subject to various monetary and other
policies and regulations of the United States government and its agencies, which
include the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as well as state regulators. The
Corporation is particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve
Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. The
Federal Reserve Board's policies influence the rates of interest that PNC
charges on loans and pays on interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the
value of on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. Those
policies also influence, to a significant extent, the cost of funding for the
Corporation.
COMPETITION
PNC operates in a highly competitive environment, both in terms of the products
and services offered and the geographic markets in which PNC conducts business.
This environment could become even more competitive in the future. The
Corporation competes with local, regional and national banks, thrifts, credit
unions and non-bank financial institutions, such as investment banking firms,
investment advisory firms, brokerage firms, investment companies, venture
capital firms, mutual fund complexes and insurance companies, as well as other
entities that offer financial and processing services, and through alternative
delivery channels such as the World Wide Web. Technological advances and
legislation, among other changes, have lowered barriers to entry, have made it
possible for non-bank institutions to offer products and services that
traditionally have been provided by banks, and have increased the level of
competition faced by the Corporation. Many of the Corporation's competitors
benefit from fewer regulatory constraints and lower cost structures, allowing
for more competitive pricing of products and services.
DISINTERMEDIATION
Disintermediation is the process of eliminating the role of the intermediary in
completing a transaction. For the financial services industry, this means
eliminating or significantly reducing the role of banks and other depository
institutions in completing transactions that have traditionally involved banks.
Disintermediation could result in, among other things, the loss of customer
deposits and decreases in transactions that generate fee income.
ASSET MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE
Asset management revenue is primarily based on a percentage of the value of
assets under management and performance fees expressed as a percentage of the
returns realized on assets under management. A decline in the value of debt and
equity instruments, among other things, could cause asset management revenue to
decline.
Investment performance is an important factor for the level of assets under
management. Poor investment performance could impair revenue and growth as
existing clients might withdraw funds in favor of better performing products.
Also, performance fees could be lower or nonexistent. Additionally, the ability
to attract funds from existing and new clients might diminish.
FUND SERVICING
Fund servicing fees are primarily based on the market value of the assets and
the number of shareholder accounts administered by the Corporation for its
clients. A rise in interest rates or a sustained weakness or further weakening
or volatility in the debt and equity markets could influence an investor's
decision to invest or maintain an investment in a mutual fund. As a result,
fluctuations may occur in the level or value of assets that the Corporation has
under administration. A significant investor migration from mutual fund
investments could have a negative impact on the Corporation's revenues by
reducing the assets and the number of shareholder accounts it administers. There
has been and continues to be merger, acquisition and consolidation activity in
the financial services industry. Mergers or consolidations of financial
institutions in the future could reduce the number of existing or potential fund
servicing clients.
46
ACQUISITIONS
The Corporation expands its business from time to time by acquiring other
financial services companies. Factors pertaining to acquisitions that could
adversely affect the Corporation's business and earnings include, among others:
anticipated cost savings or potential revenue enhancements that may not be fully
realized or realized within the expected time frame; key employee, customer or
revenue loss following an acquisition that may be greater than expected; and
costs or difficulties related to the integration of businesses that may be
greater than expected.
TERRORIST ACTIVITIES
The impact of the September 11th terrorist attacks or any future terrorist
activities and responses to such activities cannot be predicted at this time
with respect to severity or duration. The impact could adversely affect the
Corporation in a number of ways including, among others, an increase in
delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults that could result in a higher level of
nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and provision for credit losses.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes various types of risk,
which include, among other things, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, and risk associated with trading activities, financial derivatives and
"off-balance sheet" activities. PNC has risk management processes designed to
provide for risk identification, measurement and monitoring.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk represents the possibility that a borrower, counterparty or insurer
may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk is inherent in
the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers,
purchasing securities and entering into financial derivative transactions. The
Corporation seeks to manage credit risk through, among other things,
diversification, limiting credit exposure to any single industry or customer,
requiring collateral, selling participations to third parties, and purchasing
credit-related derivatives.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Corporation maintains an allowance for credit losses to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is determined based on regular
quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan
portfolio and is in compliance with applicable regulatory standards and
generally accepted accounting principles. The methodology for measuring the
appropriate level of the allowance consists of several elements, including
specific allocations to impaired loans, allocations to pools of non-impaired
loans and unallocated reserves. While allocations are made to specific loans and
pools of loans, the total reserve is available for all credit losses.
Specific allowances are established for all loans considered impaired by a
method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Specific allowances are
determined by PNC's Special Asset Committee based on an analysis of the present
value of the loan's expected future cash flows, the loan's observable market
price or the fair value of the loan's collateral.
Allocations to non-impaired commercial loans (pool reserve allocations) are
assigned to pools of loans as defined by PNC's internal risk rating categories.
The pool reserve methodology's key elements include expected default
probabilities (EDP), loss given default (LGD) and expected commitment usage.
EDPs are derived from historical default analyses and are a function of the
borrower's risk rating grade and loan tenor. LGDs are derived from historical
loss data and are a function of the loan's collateral value and other structural
factors that may affect the ultimate ability to collect the loan. The final
non-impaired loan reserve allocations are based on this methodology and
management's judgment of other relevant factors which may include, among others,
regional and national economic conditions, business segment and portfolio
concentrations, historical actual versus estimated losses and the volatility of
PNC's historic loss trends.
This methodology is sensitive to changes in key risk parameters such as
EDPs and LGDs. In general, a given change in any of the major risk parameters
will have a commensurate change in the pool reserve allocations to non-impaired
commercial loans. Additionally, other factors such as the rate of migration in
the severity of problem loans or changes in the distribution of loan tenor will
contribute to the final pool reserve allocations.
Consumer and residential mortgage loan allocations are made at a total
portfolio level by consumer product line based on actual historical loss
experience adjusted for volatility, current economic conditions and other
relevant factors.
While PNC's specific and pool reserve methodologies strive to reflect all
risk factors, there continues to be certain elements of risk associated with,
but not limited to, potential
47
estimation and judgmental errors. Furthermore, events may have occurred as of
the reserve evaluation date that are not yet reflected in the risk measures or
characteristics of the portfolio due to inherent lags in information.
Unallocated reserves are established to provide coverage for such risks.
Senior management's Reserve Adequacy Committee provides oversight for the
allowance evaluation process, including quarterly evaluations and methodology
and estimation changes. The results of the evaluations are reported to the
Credit Committee of the Board of Directors.

For purposes of this presentation, the unallocated portion of the allowance for
credit losses of $143 million has been assigned to loan categories based on the
relative specific and pool allocation amounts.
The provision for credit losses for 2001 and the evaluation of the
allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2001 reflected changes in loan
portfolio composition, the net impact of downsizing credit exposure and changes
in asset quality. The unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses
represents 23% of the total allowance and .38% of total loans at December 31,
2001, compared with 20% and .26%, respectively, at December 31, 2000.

percentages were 209% and 1.33%, respectively. During 2001, the Corporation took
several actions to accelerate the strategic repositioning of the institutional
lending business. These repositioning initiatives resulted in a decrease in
commercial loan portfolio credit exposure and a decrease in both specific and
pooled allowances at December 31, 2001.

NONPERFORMING, PAST DUE AND POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings,
nonaccrual loans held for sale and foreclosed assets. In addition, certain
performing assets have interest payments that are past due or have the potential
for future repayment problems.

Of the total nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2001, approximately 47% are
related to PNC Business Credit. These loans are to borrowers many of which have
weaker credit risk ratings. As a result, a greater proportion of such loans may
be classified as nonperforming. Such loans are secured by accounts receivable,
inventory, machinery and equipment, and other collateral. This secured position
helps to mitigate risk of loss on these loans by reducing the reliance on cash
flows for repayment. The above table excludes $18 million of equity management
assets carried at estimated fair value at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The amount
of nonaccrual loans that were current as to principal and interest was $93
million at December 31, 2001 and $67 million at December 31, 2000. The amount of
nonperforming loans held for sale that were current as to principal and interest
was $8 million at December 31, 2001. There were no nonperforming loans held for
sale that were current as to principal and interest at December 31, 2000.

Credit quality was adversely impacted in 2001 and a sustained weakness or
further weakening of the economy, or other factors that affect asset quality,
could result in an increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or
defaults, and a higher level of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs and
provision for credit losses in future periods. With the current weak economy and
growth in PNC Business Credit, nonperforming assets will likely increase from
year end amounts. See the Forward-Looking Statements section of this Financial
Review for additional factors that could cause actual results to differ

CREDIT-RELATED INSTRUMENTS
Credit default swaps provide, for a fee, an assumption of a portion of the
credit risk associated with the underlying financial instruments. The
Corporation primarily uses such contracts to mitigate credit risk associated
with commercial lending activities. At December 31, 2001, credit default swaps
of $198 million in notional value were used by the Corporation to hedge credit
risk associated with commercial lending activities.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation's traditional
business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. Many factors,
including economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and
consumer preferences affect the spread between interest earned on assets and
interest paid on liabilities. In managing interest rate risk, the Corporation
seeks to minimize its reliance on a particular interest rate scenario as a
source of earnings while maximizing net interest income and net interest margin.
To further these objectives, the Corporation uses securities purchases and
sales, short-term and long-term funding, financial derivatives and other capital
markets instruments.
Interest rate risk is centrally managed by Asset and Liability Management.
The Corporation actively measures and monitors components of interest rate risk
including term structure or repricing risk, yield curve or nonparallel rate
shift risk, basis risk and options risk. The Corporation measures and manages
both the short-term and long-term effects of changing interest rates. An income
simulation model is designed to measure the sensitivity of net interest income
to changing interest rates over the next twenty-four month period. An economic
value of equity model is designed to measure the sensitivity of the value of
existing on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions to changing interest
rates.
The income simulation model is the primary tool used to measure the
direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes
in interest rates. Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to
changes in interest rates requires that the Corporation make assumptions about
the volume and characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing
positions. These business assumptions are based on the Corporation's experience,
business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions employed in
the model include prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets and consumer
loans, loan volumes and pricing, deposit volumes and pricing, the expected life
and repricing characteristics of nonmaturity loans and deposits, and
management's financial and capital plans.
Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, the model cannot
precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the effect of higher
or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from
simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate
changes, the difference between actual experience and the assumed volume and
characteristics of new business and behavior of existing positions, and changes
in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.
The Corporation models additional interest rate scenarios covering a wider
range of rate movements to identify yield curve, term structure and basis risk
exposures. These scenarios are developed based on historical rate relationships
or management's expectations regarding the future direction and level of
interest rates. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these
scenarios may be modeled more or less frequently. Such analyses are used to
identify risk and develop strategies.
An economic value of equity model is used by the Corporation to value all
current on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions under a range of
instantaneous interest rate changes. The resulting change in the value of equity
is a measure of overall long-term interest rate risk inherent in the
Corporation's existing on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions. The
Corporation uses the economic value of equity model to complement the net
interest income simulation modeling process.
The Corporation's interest rate risk management policies provide that net
interest income should not decrease by more than 3% if interest rates gradually
increase or decrease from current rates by 100 basis points over a twelve-month
period and that the economic value of equity should not decline by more than
1.5% of the book value of assets for a 200 basis point instantaneous increase or
decrease in interest rates. Policy exceptions, if any, are reported to the
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
The following table sets forth the sensitivity results for the last two
years.

==================================== =========== ==========
Current market interest rates, which are used as base rates in the Corporation's
net interest income simulation and economic value of equity models, have
declined significantly from year-end 2000 to year-end 2001.
The major sources of the change in net interest income sensitivities from
2000 to 2001 are the effects of this decline in rates on two of the key drivers
of the simulation results. First, the decline in market rates and the lowering
of the rates paid by PNC on transaction deposits have reduced the expected
impact that further rate declines could have on the rate paid on transaction
deposits. Second, the lower rate environment has increased the effect that a
further rate decline could have on the anticipated prepayment rates of
mortgage-related assets.
Over the course of 2001, management has taken actions to mitigate the
adverse effects of significantly declining interest rates on the Corporation's
net interest income. Without these actions, the Corporation's reported
sensitivity to a 100 basis point decline in interest rates at year end 2001
would have been significantly higher. These actions included purchasing
fixed-rate securities and financial derivatives. The effects of these actions
have contributed to the year-over-year change in the Corporation's economic
value of equity sensitivities. Thus far in 2002, management's actions have
focused on reducing the effects of significantly higher interest rates on the
Corporation's net interest income and economic value of equity.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity represents the Corporation's ability to obtain cost-effective funding
to meet the needs of customers as well as the Corporation's financial
obligations. Liquidity is centrally managed by Asset and Liability Management,
with oversight provided by the Corporate Asset and Liability Committee and the
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Corporation's main sources of funds to meet its liquidity requirements
are access to the capital markets, sale of liquid assets, secured advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank, its core deposit base and the capability to
securitize assets for sale.
Access to capital markets is a key factor affecting liquidity management.
Access to such markets is in part based on the Corporation's credit ratings,
which are influenced by a number of factors including capital ratios, asset
quality and earnings. Additional factors that impact liquidity include the
maturity structure of existing assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet
positions, the level of liquid securities and loans available for sale,
regulatory capital classification, and the Corporation's ability to securitize
and sell various types of loans.
Liquid assets consist of short-term investments and securities available for
sale. At December 31, 2001, such assets totaled $14.9 billion, with $6.2 billion
pledged as collateral for borrowings, trust and other commitments. Secured
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, of which PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC Bank"),
PNC's principal bank subsidiary, is a member, are generally secured by
residential mortgages, other real-estate related loans and mortgage-backed
securities. At December 31, 2001, approximately $10.6 billion of residential
mortgages and other real-estate related loans were available as collateral for
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Funding can also be obtained through
alternative forms of borrowing, including federal funds purchased, repurchase
agreements and short-term and long-term debt issuances.
Liquidity for the parent company and subsidiaries is also generated through
the issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit. At
December 31, 2001, the Corporation had unused capacity under effective shelf
registration statements of approximately $3.3 billion of debt or equity
securities and $400 million of trust preferred capital securities. The
Corporation had an unused line of credit of $500 million at December 31, 2001.
51
The principal source of parent company revenue and cash flow is the
dividends it receives from PNC Bank. The bank's dividend level may be impacted
by its capital needs, supervisory policies, corporate policies, contractual
restrictions and other factors. Also, there are legal limitations on the ability
of national banks to pay dividends or make other capital distributions. PNC Bank
was not permitted to pay dividends to the parent company as of December 31, 2001
without prior approval from banking regulators as a result of the repositioning
charges taken in 2001 and prior dividends. Under these limitations, PNC Bank's
capacity to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval can be restored
through retention of earnings. Management expects PNC Bank's dividend capacity
relative to such legal limitations to be restored during 2002 from retained
earnings.
In addition to dividends from PNC Bank, other sources of parent company
liquidity include cash and short-term investments, as well as dividends and loan
repayments from other subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2001, the parent company
had approximately $800 million in funds available from its cash and short-term
investments or other funds available from unrestricted subsidiaries. Management
believes the parent company has sufficient liquidity available from sources
other than dividends from PNC Bank to meet current obligations to its debt
holders, vendors, and others and to pay dividends at current rates through 2002.
The following tables set forth contractual obligations and various
commitments representing required and potential cash outflows as of December 31,
2001.
(a) Reflects the maturity of junior subordinated debentures held by subsidiary
trusts.
(a) Commitments are funding commitments that could potentially require
performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events.
Loan commitments are reported net of participations, assignments and
syndications.
(b) Equity Management funding commitments.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
Most of PNC's trading activities are designed to provide capital markets
services to customers and not to position the Corporation's portfolio for gains
from market movements. Trading activities are confined to financial instruments
and financial derivatives. PNC participates in derivatives and foreign exchange
trading as well as underwriting and "market making" in equity securities as an
accommodation to customers. PNC also engages in trading activities as part of
risk management strategies. Net trading income was $147 million in 2001 compared
with $91 million in 2000. See Note 7 Trading Activities for additional
information.
Risk associated with trading, capital markets and foreign exchange
activities is managed using a value-at-risk approach that combines interest rate
risk, foreign exchange rate risk, spread risk and volatility risk. Using this
approach, exposure is measured as the potential loss due to a two standard
deviation, one-day move in interest rates. The estimated average combined
value-at-risk of all trading operations using this measurement was $.7 million
for both 2001 and 2000. The estimated combined period-end value-at-risk was $.9
million at December 31, 2001 and $.5 million at December 31, 2000.
52
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended
by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138. The statement requires the Corporation to recognize
all derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities.
Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other
liabilities. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle
resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 133 was an after-tax charge of $5
million reported in the consolidated income statement and an after-tax
accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4 million in the consolidated balance
sheet. See Note 20 Financial Derivatives for additional information.
The Corporation uses a variety of financial derivatives as part of the
overall asset and liability risk management process to manage interest rate,
market and credit risk inherent in the Corporation's business activities.
Substantially all such instruments are used to manage risk related to changes in
interest rates. Interest rate and total rate of return swaps, purchased interest
rate caps and floors and futures contracts are the primary instruments used by
the Corporation for interest rate risk management.
Interest rate swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange periodic
fixed and floating interest payments calculated on a notional amount. The
floating rate is based on a money market index, primarily short-term LIBOR.
Total rate of return swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange an
interest rate payment for the total rate of return on a specified reference
index calculated on a notional amount. Purchased interest rate caps and floors
are agreements where, for a fee, the counterparty agrees to pay the Corporation
the amount, if any, by which a specified market interest rate exceeds or is less
than a defined rate applied to a notional amount, respectively. Interest rate
futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements to make or take delivery of a
financial instrument at an agreed upon price and are settled in cash daily.
Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, interest rate, market
and credit risk. For interest rate and total rate of return swaps, caps and
floors and futures contracts, only periodic cash payments and, with respect to
caps and floors, premiums, are exchanged. Therefore, cash requirements and
exposure to credit risk are significantly less than the notional value.
Not all elements of interest rate, market and credit risk are addressed
through the use of financial or other derivatives, and such instruments may be
ineffective for their intended purposes due to unanticipated market
characteristics among other reasons.
The following table sets forth changes, during 2001, in the notional value
of financial derivatives used for risk management and designated as accounting
hedges under SFAS No. 133.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES - 2001
(a) The floating rate portion of interest rate contracts is based on
money-market indices. As a percent of notional value, 65% were based on
1-month LIBOR, 34% on 3-month LIBOR and the remainder on other short-term
indices.
(b) Interest rate caps with notional values of $15 million require the
counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if any, of 3-month LIBOR
over a weighted-average strike of 6.40%. In addition, interest rate caps
with notional values of $6 million require the counterparty to pay the
excess, if any, of 1-month LIBOR over a weighted-average strike of 6.00%.
The remainder is based on other short-term indices. At December 31, 2001,
3-month LIBOR was 1.88% and 1-month LIBOR was 1.87%.
(c) Interest rate floors with notional values of $5 million require the
counterparty to pay the excess, if any, of the weighted-average strike of
4.50% over 3-month LIBOR. The remainder is based on other short-term
indices. At December 31, 2001, 3-month LIBOR was 1.88%.

LIBOR over a weighted-average strike of 5.68% and Prime over a
weighted-average strike of 8.76%, respectively. At December 31, 2000,
3-month LIBOR was 6.40%, 1-month LIBOR was 6.56% and Prime was 9.50%.
(c) Interest rate floors with notional values of $3.0 billion require the
counterparty to pay the excess, if any, of the weighted-average strike of
4.63% over 3-month LIBOR. At December 31, 2000, 3-month LIBOR was 6.40%.
(d) Due to the structure of these contracts, they are no longer considered
financial derivatives under SFAS No. 133.

OTHER DERIVATIVES
To accommodate customer needs, PNC enters into customer-related financial
derivative transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, caps,
floors and foreign exchange contracts. Risk exposure from customer positions is
managed through transactions with other dealers.
Additionally, the Corporation enters into other derivative transactions for
risk management purposes that are not designated as accounting hedges, primarily
consisting of interest rate floors and caps and basis swaps. Other noninterest
income for 2001 included $31 million of net gains related to the derivatives
held for risk management purposes not designated as accounting hedges. Prior to
2001, changes in the fair value of these derivatives that were previously
accounted for under the accrual method were not reflected in operating results.
OTHER DERIVATIVES
"OFF-BALANCE-SHEET" ACTIVITIES
PNC has reputation, legal, operational and fiduciary risks in virtually every
area of its business, many of which are not reflected in assets and liabilities
recorded on the balance sheet, and some of which are conducted through limited
purpose entities known as "special purpose entities." These activities are part
of the banking business and would be found in most larger financial institutions
with the size and activities of PNC. Most of these involve financial products
distributed to customers, trust and custody services, and processing and funds
transfer services, and the amounts involved can be quite large in relation to
the Corporation's assets, equity and earnings. The primary accounting for these
activities on PNC's records is to reflect the earned income, operating expenses
and any receivables or liabilities for transaction settlements. For example: PNC
Bank provides credit and liquidity to customers through loan commitments and
letters of credit (see the Other Commitments table in the Liquidity Risk section
of Risk Management in this Financial Review); BlackRock provides investment
advisory and administration services for others through registered investment
companies, separate accounts, and other legal entities - additional information
about BlackRock is available in its filings with the SEC and may be obtained
electronically at the SEC's home page at www.sec.gov; PFPC processes mutual fund
transactions, provides securities lending services and maintains custody of
certain fund assets; PNC Advisors provides trust services and holds assets for
personal and institutional customers; Hilliard Lyons maintains brokerage assets
of customers; and Columbia Housing administers and manages funds that invest in
affordable housing projects that generate tax credits to investors; among
others. In addition to these activities, PNC has other activities or financial
interests that involve credit risk and market risk (including interest rate
risk) that are not fully reflected on the balance sheet. The most significant of
these activities include the following:
- - PNC sponsors Market Street Funding Corporation ("Market Street"), a
multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit -- see discussion that
follows
56
and the Other Commitments table under Liquidity Risk in the Risk Management
section of this Financial Review.
- - Loan commitments and letters of credit -- see the Other Commitments table
under Liquidity Risk and Credit Risk in the Risk Management section of this
Financial Review, and Note 9 Loans and Commitments to Extend Credit.
- - Financial derivatives -- see Financial Derivatives in the Risk Management
section of this Financial Review and Note 20 Financial Derivatives.
- - Loan securitization and servicing activities - see Securitizations in the
Risk Management section of this Financial Review and Note 14
Securitizations. See also the discussion of the National Bank of Canada
servicing arrangement in Note 30 Subsequent Events.
Except to the extent inherent in customary activities such as those described
above, PNC does not use off-balance-sheet entities to fund its business
operations. The Corporation does not capitalize any off-balance-sheet entity
with PNC stock and has no commitments to provide financial backing to any such
entity by issuing PNC stock.
The accounting for special purpose entities is currently under review by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board and the conditions for consolidation or
non-consolidation of such entities could change.
See the Risk Factors section in this Financial Review for a discussion of
key risks associated with these and other off-balance-sheet activities.
MARKET STREET FUNDING CORPORATION
The most significant portion of commercial loan facilities provided by PNC Bank
is to Market Street, an asset-backed commercial paper conduit that is 100%
independently owned and managed. PNC Bank provides credit enhancement, liquidity
facilities and certain administrative services to Market Street. Market Street
had total assets of $5.2 billion and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The activities of Market Street are limited to the purchase of
undivided interests in pools of receivables from U.S. corporations ("sellers")
that desire access to the commercial paper market. Market Street funds the
purchases by issuing commercial paper ("CP"). The CP has been rated A1/P1 by
Standard & Poor's and Moody's. Credit enhancement provided by PNC is in the form
of a revolving credit facility with a five year term expiring December 31, 2004.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, $166.1 million and $115.7 million, respectively,
was outstanding. Also at December 31, 2001 and 2000, Market Street had liquidity
facilities totaling $5.8 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, provided by PNC
Bank. The maximum total amount of such facilities and the amount of such total
provided by PNC Bank during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $7.0
billion and $5.8 billion, and $5.2 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively. PNC
Bank received related loan commitment fees of $7.8 million and $6.5 million for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
PNC Bank serves as Market Street's program administrator for which it
received related fees of $11.7 million and $10.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
SECURITIZATIONS
From time to time the Corporation has sold loans in secondary market
securitization transactions. The Corporation uses securitizations to manage
various balance sheet risks. Also, in such securitization transactions, the
Corporation may retain certain interest-only strips and servicing rights that
were created in the sale of the loans. The Corporation's liquidity is not
dependent on securitizations.
During 2001 and 2000, the Corporation sold loans totaling $1.5 billion and
$865 million, respectively, in secondary market securitization transactions,
resulting in pre-tax gains of $13 million in each year.
In addition to these transactions, in March 2001 PNC securitized $3.8
billion of residential mortgage loans by selling the loans into a trust with PNC
retaining 99% or $3.7 billion of the certificates. PNC also securitized $175
million of commercial mortgage loans by selling the loans into a trust with PNC
retaining 99% or $173 million of the certificates. In each case, the 1% interest
in the trust was purchased by a publicly-traded entity managed by a subsidiary
of PNC. A substantial portion of the entity's purchase price was financed by
PNC. The reclassification of these loans to securities increased the liquidity
of the assets and was consistent with PNC's on-going balance sheet
restructuring. At the time of the residential mortgage securitization, gains of
$25.9 million were deferred and are being recognized when principal payments are
received or the securities are sold to third parties. At December 31, 2001,
these securities had been reduced to $1.3 billion through sales and principal
payments and the remaining deferred gains were $7.8 million. No gain was
recognized at the time of the commercial mortgage loan securitization and none
of the securities retained at the time of the securitization remained on the
balance sheet at December 31, 2001.

2000 VERSUS 1999
CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
SUMMARY RESULTS
Income from continuing operations for 2000 was $1.214 billion or $4.09 per
diluted share compared with $1.202 billion or $3.94 per diluted share,
respectively, for 1999. Return on average common shareholders' equity was 20.52%
and return on average assets was 1.76% for 2000 compared with 21.29% and 1.76%,
respectively, for 1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Taxable-equivalent net interest income of $2.182 billion for 2000 decreased $184
million or 8% compared with 1999. The net interest margin of 3.64% for 2000
narrowed 22 basis points from 3.86% in the prior year. These decreases were
primarily due to funding costs related to the ISG acquisition, changes in
balance sheet composition and a higher interest rate environment in 2000.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses was $136 million for 2000 compared with $163
million for 1999. Net charge-offs were $135 million or .27% of average loans for
2000 compared with $161 million or .31%, respectively, for 1999. The decrease in
the provision was primarily due to the sale of the credit card business in the
first quarter of 1999, partially offset by higher commercial loan net
charge-offs in 2000.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $2.891 billion for 2000 and represented 57% of total
revenue compared with $2.450 billion and 51%, respectively, for 1999. The
increase was primarily driven by growth in certain fee-based businesses, the
benefit of the ISG acquisition and higher equity management income.
Asset management fees of $809 million for 2000 increased $128 million or 19%
primarily driven by new business. Assets under management were $253 billion at
December 31, 2000, a 19% increase compared with December 31, 1999. Fund
servicing fees of $654 million for 2000 increased $403 million compared with
1999 primarily due to the ISG acquisition. Excluding ISG, fund servicing fees
increased 22% mainly due to existing and new client growth.
Service charges on deposits of $206 million for 2000 were consistent with
the prior year. Brokerage fees of $249 million for 2000 increased $30 million or
14% compared with 1999 reflecting expansion of Hilliard Lyons' distribution
network. Consumer services revenue of $209 million for 2000 increased 7%
compared with the prior year, excluding credit card fees, primarily due to
higher consumer transaction volume.
Corporate services revenue was $342 million for 2000 compared with $133
million for 1999. The increase in corporate services revenue was primarily
driven by the comparative impact of valuation adjustments in the prior year and
higher treasury management and commercial mortgage servicing fees that were
partially offset by a lower level of commercial mortgage-backed securitization
gains due to the impact of weaker capital market conditions.
Equity management income was $133 million for 2000 compared to $100 million
in the prior year.
Net securities gains were $20 million for 2000 compared with $22 million for
1999. The net securities gains in 1999 included a $41 million gain from the sale
of Concord EFS, Inc. stock that was partially offset by a $28 million write-down
of an equity investment.
Sale of subsidiary stock of $64 million in 1999 reflected the gain from the
BlackRock initial public offering.
Other noninterest income was $269 million for 2000 compared with $555
million for 1999. The decrease resulted primarily from the comparative impact of
gains in 1999 from the sale of the credit card business of $193 million and from
the sale of an equity interest in Electronic Payment Services, Inc. of $97
million.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $3.071 billion and the efficiency ratio was 56.85% for
2000 compared with $2.843 billion and 55.54%, respectively, for 1999. The
increases were primarily related to the ISG acquisition. Average full-time
equivalent employees totaled approximately 24,100 and 22,700 for 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The increase was primarily due to the ISG acquisition, partially
offset by the impact of efficiency initiatives in traditional banking businesses
and the sale of the credit card business in 1999.
58
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
LOANS
Loans were $50.6 billion at December 31, 2000, a $928 million increase from
year-end 1999 as increases in residential mortgage loans and lease financing
more than offset lower consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale were $1.7 billion at December 31, 2000 compared with $3.5
billion at December 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to dispositions of
loans designated for exit.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The fair value of securities available for sale at December 31, 2000 was $5.9
billion compared with $6.0 billion as of December 31, 1999. Securities
represented 8% of total assets at December 31, 2000 and 9% at December 31, 1999.
The expected weighted-average life of securities available for sale was 4 years
and 5 months at December 31, 2000 and 4 years and 7 months at year-end 1999.
FUNDING SOURCES
Total funding sources were $59.4 billion at December 31, 2000 and $60.0 billion
at December 31, 1999. Increases in demand and money market deposits allowed PNC
to reduce higher-costing funding sources including deposits in foreign offices,
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and bank notes and senior debt.
Total deposits were $47.7 billion at December 31, 2000 compared to $45.8
billion at December 31, 1999. Increases in demand and money market deposits, as
a result of strategic marketing initiatives to grow more valuable transaction
accounts, were partially offset by a decrease in deposits in foreign offices.
ASSET QUALITY
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans, loans held for sale and
foreclosed assets was .71% at December 31, 2000 and .61% at December 31, 1999.
Nonperforming assets were $372 million at December 31, 2000 compared with $325
million at December 31, 1999. The allowance for credit losses was $675 million
and represented 209% of nonaccrual loans and 1.33% of total loans at December
31, 2000. The comparable amounts were $674 million, 232% and 1.36%,
respectively, at December 31, 1999.
CAPITAL
Shareholders' equity totaled $6.7 billion and $5.9 billion at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and the leverage ratio was 8.0% and 6.6%, respectively,
in the comparison. Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.6% and
12.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2000, compared with 7.1% and 11.1%,
respectively, at December 31, 1999, computed on a basis including discontinued
operations.

In addition to factors mentioned elsewhere in this report or previously
disclosed in the Corporation's SEC reports (accessible on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to
differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:
(1) adjustments to recorded results of the sale of the residential mortgage
banking business after disputes over certain closing date adjustments have
been resolved;
(2) changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate
environment or financial and capital markets, which could result in: a
deterioration in credit quality and increased credit losses; an adverse
effect on the allowance for credit losses; a reduction in demand for credit
or fee-based products and services, net interest income, value of assets
under management and assets serviced, value of venture capital investments
and of other debt and equity investments, value of loans held for sale or
value of other on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet assets; or changes in
the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet PNC's liquidity
needs;
(3) relative investment performance of assets under management;
(4) the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives
and strategies, decisions regarding further reductions in balance sheet
leverage, the timing and pricing of any sales of loans held for sale, and
PNC's inability to realize cost savings or revenue enhancements, implement
integration plans and other consequences of mergers, acquisitions,
restructurings and divestitures;
(5) customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices and their
acceptance of PNC's products and services;
(6) the impact of increased competition;
(7) the means PNC chooses to redeploy available capital, including the extent
and timing of any share repurchases and investments in PNC businesses;
(8) the inability to manage risks inherent in PNC's business;
(9) the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or government inquiries;
(10) the denial of insurance coverage for claims made by PNC;
(11) an increase in the number of customer or counterparty delinquencies,
bankruptcies or defaults that could result in, among other things,
increased credit and asset quality risk, a higher loan loss provision and
reduced profitability;
(12) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, the adequacy of
intellectual property protection and costs associated with obtaining rights
in intellectual property claimed by others;
(13) actions of the Federal Reserve Board, legislative and regulatory reforms,
and regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions of government agencies;
and
(14) terrorist activities, including the September 11th terrorist attacks, which
may adversely affect the general economy, financial and capital markets,
specific industries, and PNC. The Corporation cannot predict the severity
or duration of effects stemming from such activities or any actions taken
in connection with them.
Some of the above factors are described in more detail in the 2002 Operating
Environment and Risk Factors sections of this Financial Review and factors
relating to credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, trading activities,
financial and other derivatives and "off-balance-sheet" activities are discussed
in the Risk Management section of this Financial Review. Other factors are
described elsewhere in this report.

REPORTS ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is responsible for the preparation,
integrity and fair presentation of its published financial statements. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, as such,
include judgments and estimates of management. The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. also prepared the other information included in the Annual Report and is
responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the consolidated financial
statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting. The internal control system is
augmented by written policies and procedures and by audits performed by an
internal audit staff, which reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors. The Audit Committee, composed solely of independent directors,
provides oversight to management's conduct of the financial reporting process.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of
internal control, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or
overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide
only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control
may vary over time.
Management assessed The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.'s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2001. This assessment was
based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting
described in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and considered the matters
that gave rise to the restatements announced in early 2002. Based on this
assessment, management believes that The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
maintained an effective internal control system over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2001.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These
financial statements are the responsibility of The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The PNC
Financial Services Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
BUSINESS
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Corporation" or "PNC") is one of the
largest diversified financial services companies in the United States, operating
businesses engaged in regional community banking, corporate banking, real estate
finance, asset-based lending, wealth management, asset management and global
fund services. The Corporation provides certain products and services nationally
and others in PNC's primary geographic markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky. The Corporation also provides certain banking,
asset management and global fund services internationally. PNC is subject to
intense competition from other financial services companies and is subject to
regulation by various domestic and international authorities.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PNC, its
subsidiaries, most of which are wholly owned, and other consolidated entities.
Such statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These
reclassifications did not impact the Corporation's financial condition or
results of operations.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual
results will differ from such estimates and the differences may be material to
the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial
statements and statistical information reflect the residential mortgage banking
business, which was sold on January 31, 2001, in discontinued operations, unless
otherwise noted. Certain quarterly amounts for 2001 contained in this report
have been restated to reflect accounting adjustments that reduced income from
discontinued operations for the year and to reflect the consolidation of the
subsidiaries of a third party financial institution.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of accounting,
the net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their estimated fair
value at the date of acquisition and include the results of operations of the
acquired business from the date of acquisition.
In business combinations accounted for as poolings-of-interests, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the respective
companies are restated as though the companies were combined for all historical
periods. Effective July 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," which prohibits
the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations. On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under this standard, goodwill is no
longer amortized but rather must be tested for impairment periodically. Refer to
"Recent Accounting Pronouncements" herein for further discussion of the impact
of these new standards.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans are designated as held for sale when the Corporation has a positive intent
to sell them. Loans are transferred at the lower of cost or market to the loans
held for sale category. At the time of transfer, related write-downs on the
loans are recorded as charge-offs. A new cost basis of the loan is established
and any subsequent adjustment as a result of lower of cost or market analysis is
recognized as a valuation allowance with changes included in noninterest income.
The lower of cost or market analysis on pools of homogeneous loans is
applied on a net aggregate basis. Such analysis on non-homogeneous loans is
applied on an individual loan basis.
Interest income with respect to loans held for sale is accrued on the
principal amount outstanding.
SECURITIES
Securities are classified as investments and carried at amortized cost if
management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term
profits are placed in the trading account, carried at market value and
classified as short-term investments. Gains and losses on trading securities are
included in noninterest income. Securities not classified as investments or
trading are designated as securities available for sale and carried at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Interest and dividends on securities, including amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts using
66
the effective-interest method, are included in interest income. Gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities available for sale are computed on a specific
security basis and included in noninterest income.
LOANS AND LEASES
Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income.
Interest income with respect to loans other than nonaccrual loans is accrued on
the principal amount outstanding. Significant loan fees are deferred and
accreted to interest income over the respective lives of the loans.
The Corporation also provides financing for various types of equipment,
aircraft, energy and power systems and rolling stock through a variety of lease
arrangements. Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of lease
payments plus estimated residual value of the leased property, less unearned
income. Lease financing income is recognized over the term of the lease using
methods that approximate the level yield method. Gains or losses on the sale of
leased assets or valuation adjustments on lease residuals are included in
noninterest income.
LOAN SECURITIZATIONS AND RETAINED INTERESTS
The Corporation sells mortgage and other loans through secondary market
securitizations. In certain cases, the Corporation will retain a portion of the
securities issued, interest-only strips, one or more subordinated tranches,
servicing rights and/or cash reserve accounts, all of which are associated with
the securitized asset. Any gain or loss recognized on the sale of the loans
depends on the allocation between the loans sold and the retained interests,
based on their relative fair market values at the date of transfer. The
Corporation generally estimates fair value based on the present value of future
expected cash flows using assumptions as to discount rates, prepayment speeds,
credit losses and servicing costs, if applicable.
Servicing rights are maintained at the lower of carrying value or fair
market value and are amortized in proportion to estimated net servicing income.
Retained interests in loan securitizations are carried at fair market value and
included in other assets. For retained interests classified as securities
available for sale, adjustments to fair market value are recognized through
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Fair market value adjustments
for all other retained interests are recorded in noninterest income. For
servicing rights retained, the Corporation generally receives a fee for
servicing the securitized loans.
For purposes of measuring impairment, the Corporation stratifies the pools
of assets underlying servicing rights by product type and geographic region of
the borrower. A valuation allowance is recorded when the carrying amount of
specific asset strata exceeds its fair value.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings,
nonaccrual loans held for sale and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans other
than consumer are classified as nonaccrual when it is determined that the
collection of interest or principal is doubtful or when a default of interest or
principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless the loans are well secured and
in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, accrued but
uncollected interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and
unpaid interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged against the
allowance for credit losses. Consumer loans are generally charged off when
payments are past due 120 days.
A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring in the year of
restructuring if a significant concession is granted to the borrower due to
deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.
Nonperforming loans are generally not returned to performing status until
the obligation is brought current and has performed in accordance with the
contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and collection of the
contractual principal and interest is no longer doubtful.
Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate
loans and troubled debt restructurings. Interest collected on these loans is
recognized on the cash basis or cost recovery method.
Loans held for sale, which are carried at lower of cost or market value, are
considered nonaccrual when it is determined that the collection of interest or
principal is doubtful or when a default of interest or principal has existed for
90 days or more, unless the loans are well secured and in the process of
collection. Nonaccrual loans held for sale are reported as other nonperforming
assets.
Foreclosed assets are comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure
proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. These assets are
recorded on the date acquired at the lower of the related loan balance or market
value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs. Market values are
estimated primarily based on appraisals. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are
valued at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or the current
market value less estimated disposition costs. Gains or losses realized from
disposition of such property are reflected in noninterest expense.
67
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is established through provisions charged
against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the
allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited to the
allowance.
The allowance is maintained at a level believed by management to be
sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations
of the credit portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among
others, expected default probabilities, loss given default, expected commitment
usage, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans,
estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages, and general
amounts for historical loss experience, economic conditions, uncertainties in
estimating losses and inherent risks in the various credit portfolios, all of
which may be susceptible to significant change.
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the
Corporation makes specific allocations to impaired loans and to pools of
watchlist and nonwatchlist loans for various credit risk factors. Allocations to
loan pools are developed by business segment and risk rating and are based on
historical loss trends and management's judgment concerning those trends and
other relevant factors. These factors may include, among others, actual versus
estimated losses, regional and national economic conditions, business segment
and portfolio concentrations, industry competition and consolidation, and the
impact of government regulations. Consumer and residential mortgage loan
allocations are made at a total portfolio level based on historical loss
experience adjusted for portfolio activity and economic conditions.
While PNC's pool reserve methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors,
there continues to be a certain element of risk associated with, but not limited
to, potential estimation or judgmental errors. Unallocated reserves are designed
to provide coverage for such risks. While allocations are made to specific loans
and pools of loans, the total reserve is available for all credit losses.
EQUITY MANAGEMENT ASSETS
Equity management assets are included in other assets and are comprised of
limited partnerships and direct investments. Investments in limited partnerships
are valued based on the financial statements received from the general partner.
Direct investments are carried at estimated fair value. Changes in the value of
these assets are recognized in noninterest income.
GOODWILL AND OTHER AMORTIZABLE ASSETS
Goodwill is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over periods ranging
from 15 to 25 years. Other amortizable assets are amortized to expense using
accelerated or straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful
lives. On a periodic basis, management reviews goodwill and other amortizable
assets and evaluates events or changes in circumstances that may indicate
impairment in the carrying amount of such assets. If the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment, if
any, is measured on a discounted future cash flow basis.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," which changes the method of recognition and
accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets, and SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," which
addresses implementation issues regarding the impairment of long-lived assets.
Refer to "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" herein for further discussion of the
impact of these new standards.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
For financial reporting purposes, premises and equipment are depreciated
principally using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives
ranging from one to 39 years. Accelerated methods are used for federal income
tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful
lives or the respective lease terms, whichever is shorter.
REPURCHASE AND RESALE AGREEMENTS
Repurchase and resale agreements are treated as collateralized financing
transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be
subsequently reacquired or resold, including accrued interest, as specified in
the respective agreements. The Corporation's policy is to take possession of
securities purchased under agreements to resell. The market value of securities
to be repurchased and resold is monitored, and additional collateral may be
obtained where considered appropriate to protect against credit exposure.
TREASURY STOCK
The Corporation records common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date
of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such
stock on the first-in, first-out basis.
68
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Corporation uses a variety of financial derivatives as part of the overall
asset and liability risk management process to manage interest rate, market and
credit risk inherent in the Corporation's business activities. Substantially all
such instruments are used to manage risk related to changes in interest rates.
Interest rate and total rate of return swaps, purchased interest rate caps and
floors and futures contracts are the primary instruments used by the Corporation
for interest rate risk management.
Interest rate swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange periodic
fixed and floating interest payments calculated on a notional amount. The
floating rate is based on a money market index, primarily short-term LIBOR.
Total rate of return swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange an
interest rate payment for the total rate of return on a specified reference
index calculated on a notional amount. Purchased interest rate caps and floors
are agreements where, for a fee, the counterparty agrees to pay the Corporation
the amount, if any, by which a specified market interest rate exceeds or is less
than a defined rate applied to a notional amount, respectively. Interest rate
futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements to make or take delivery of a
financial instrument at an agreed upon price and are settled in cash daily.
Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, interest rate, market and
credit risk. The Corporation manages these risks as part of its asset and
liability management process and through credit policies and procedures. The
Corporation seeks to minimize the credit risk by entering into transactions with
only a select number of high-quality institutions, establishing credit limits,
and generally requiring bilateral netting and collateral agreements.
As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended
by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138. The statement requires the Corporation to recognize
all derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities.
Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other
liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a
hedging relationship. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss
is recognized in current earnings.
For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging
instruments, the Corporation must designate the hedging instrument, based on the
exposure being hedged, as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a
hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. The Corporation has no
derivatives that hedge the net investment in a foreign operation.
For derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the
exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability attributable to
a particular risk), the gain or loss on derivatives as well as the loss or gain
on the hedged items are recognized in current earnings. An adjustment to the
hedged item for the change in its fair value pertaining to the hedged risk is
included in its carrying value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges
(i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows), the
effective portions of the gain or loss on derivatives are reported as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings
in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects
earnings. Any remaining gain or loss on these derivatives is recognized in
current earnings.
Fair Value Hedging Strategies
The Corporation enters into interest rate and total rate of return swaps, caps,
floors and interest rate futures derivative contracts to hedge designated
commercial mortgage loans held for sale, securities available for sale,
commercial loans, bank notes, senior debt and subordinated debt for changes in
fair value primarily due to changes in interest rates. Adjustments related to
the ineffective portion of fair value hedging instruments are recorded in
interest income, interest expense or noninterest income depending on the hedged
item.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
The Corporation enters into interest rate swap contracts to modify the interest
rate characteristics of designated commercial loans from variable to fixed in
order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest income.
The fair value of these derivatives is reported in other assets or other
liabilities and offset in accumulated other comprehensive income for the
effective portion of the derivatives. Amounts reclassed into earnings, when the
hedged transaction culminates, are included in interest income. Ineffectiveness
of the strategy, as defined under SFAS No. 133, if any, is reported in interest
income.
Customer And Other Derivatives
To accommodate customer needs, PNC also enters into financial derivative
transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, caps, floors and
foreign exchange contracts. Market risk exposure from customer positions are
managed through transactions with other dealers. The credit risk associated with
derivatives executed with customers is
69
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and is subject to
normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management's
assessment of the customer. Additionally, the Corporation enters into other
derivative transactions for risk management purposes that are not designated as
accounting hedges. The positions of customer and other derivatives are recorded
at fair value and changes in value are included in noninterest income.
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities - Pre-Sfas No. 133
Prior to January 1, 2001, interest rate swaps, caps and floors that modified the
interest rate characteristics (such as from fixed to variable, variable to
fixed, or one variable index to another) of designated interest-bearing assets
or liabilities were accounted for under the accrual method. The net amount
payable or receivable from the derivative contract was accrued as an adjustment
to interest income or interest expense of the designated instrument. Premiums on
contracts were deferred and amortized over the life of the agreement as an
adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the designated instruments.
Unamortized premiums were included in other assets.
Changes in the fair value of financial derivatives accounted for under the
accrual method were not reflected in results of operations. Realized gains and
losses, except losses on terminated interest rate caps and floors, were deferred
as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the designated instruments and
amortized over the shorter of the remaining original life of the agreements or
the designated instruments. Losses on terminated interest rate caps and floors
were recognized immediately in results of operations. If the designated
instruments were disposed of, the fair value of the associated derivative
contracts and any unamortized deferred gains or losses were included in the
determination of gain or loss on the disposition of such instruments. Contracts
not qualifying for accrual accounting were marked to market with gains or losses
included in noninterest income.
Credit default swaps were entered into to mitigate credit risk and lower the
required regulatory capital associated with commercial lending activities. If
the credit default swaps qualified for hedge accounting treatment, the premium
paid to enter into the credit default swaps was recorded in other assets and
deferred and amortized to noninterest expense over the life of the agreement.
Changes in the fair value of credit default swaps qualifying for hedge
accounting treatment were not reflected in the Corporation's financial position
and had no impact on results of operations.
If the credit default swap did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or
if the Corporation was the seller of credit protection, the credit default swap
was marked to market with gains or losses included in noninterest income.
Due to the particular structure of the Corporation's credit default swaps
discussed in the preceding paragraphs, these instruments are not considered
financial derivatives under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Commencing January
1, 2001, the premiums paid to enter credit default swaps not considered to be
derivatives are recorded in other assets and amortized to noninterest expense
over the life of the agreement.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND FUND SERVICING FEES
Asset management and fund servicing fees are recognized primarily as the
services are performed. Asset management fees are primarily based on a
percentage of the fair value of the assets under management and performance fees
based on a percentage of the returns on such assets. Fund servicing fees are
primarily based on a percentage of the fair value of the assets, and the number
of shareholder accounts, administered by the Corporation.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income adjusted
for preferred stock dividends declared by the weighted-average number of shares
of common stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share is based on net income adjusted for
dividends declared on nonconvertible preferred stock. The weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased by the assumed
conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and debentures from the
beginning of the year or date of issuance, if later, and the number of shares of
common stock that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options and the
issuance of incentive shares. Such adjustments to net income and the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when
such adjustments are expected to dilute earnings per common share.
70
STOCK OPTIONS
Stock options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value
of common stock on the date of grant. No compensation expense is recognized on
such stock options.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As stated previously, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1,
2001. As a result, the Corporation recognized an after-tax loss from the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $5 million, which is
reported in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31,
2001, and an after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4 million. Refer
to "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" herein and to Note 20
Financial Derivatives for additional detail on the accounting for derivative
instruments held by the Corporation.
SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued in September 2000 and replaced
SFAS No. 125. Although SFAS No. 140 has changed many of the rules regarding
securitizations, it continues to require an entity to recognize the financial
and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred and to
derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered in accordance
with the criteria provided in the standard. As required, the Corporation applied
the new rules prospectively to transactions consummated beginning in the second
quarter of 2001. SFAS No. 140 requires certain disclosures pertaining to
securitization transactions effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2000. These disclosures are included in Note 14 Securitizations.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after
June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The
statement also addresses disclosure requirements for business combinations and
initial recognition and measurement criteria for goodwill and other intangible
assets as a result of purchase business combinations.
While SFAS No. 141 will affect how future business combinations, if
undertaken, are accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements, the
issuance of the new standard had no effect on the Corporation's results of
operations, financial position, or liquidity during 2001.
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which changes the accounting from amortizing goodwill to an
impairment-only approach. The amortization of goodwill, including goodwill
recognized relating to past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of
the new standard. Impairment testing for goodwill at a reporting unit level will
be required on at least an annual basis. The new standard also addresses other
accounting matters, disclosure requirements and financial statement presentation
issues relating to goodwill and other intangible assets.
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Assuming no
impairment adjustments are necessary, no future business combinations and no
other changes to goodwill, the Corporation expects net income to increase by
approximately $93 million in 2002 resulting from the cessation of goodwill
amortization. The Corporation currently does not have any other indefinite-lived
assets on its balance sheet, nor does it anticipate any material
reclassifications or adjustments to the useful lives of finite-lived intangible
assets as a result of adopting the new standard.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which requires that the fair value of a liability be
recognized when incurred for the retirement of a long-lived asset and the value
of the related asset be increased by that amount. The statement also requires
that the liability be maintained at its present value in subsequent periods and
outlines certain disclosures for such obligations. The adoption of this
statement, which is effective January 1, 2003, is not expected to have a
material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which replaces SFAS No. 121. This
statement primarily defines one accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations, and addresses
implementation issues regarding the impairment of long-lived assets. PNC adopted
this standard effective January 1, 2002. The standard is not expected to have a
material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the first quarter of 2001, PNC closed the sale of its residential mortgage
banking business. Certain closing date adjustments are currently in dispute
between PNC and the buyer, Washington Mutual Bank, FA. The ultimate financial
impact of the sale will not be determined until the disputed matters are finally
resolved. See Note 24 Legal Proceedings. The income and net assets of the
residential mortgage banking business, which are presented on one line in the
income statement and balance sheet, respectively, are as follows:

respectively, at December 31, 2000.
NOTE 3 RESTATEMENTS
In connection with the repositioning of its institutional lending and venture
capital businesses, PNC completed three transactions during 2001, one each in
June, September, and November. In each of these transactions, assets were sold
or transferred to a subsidiary of a third party financial institution and PNC
received preferred interests in the subsidiaries.
The transactions in the aggregate involved the sale of loan assets of $592
million and venture capital assets of $170 million. Of the loan assets sold,
$132 million were classified as nonperforming assets at the date of sale. Loan
assets sold included loans previously held for sale and other loans that
were reclassified from loans to loans held for sale and marked to the lower of
cost or market prior to the sale. This resulted in charge-offs at the date
transferred of $24 million on loans and valuation adjustments of $4 million for
those loans that previously had been classified as held for sale. Including
previous charge-offs and valuation adjustments, loans transferred had been
charged down by approximately $108 million prior to sale. In addition to the
loan and venture capital assets, PNC also transferred cash amounting to $403
million. In return, PNC received one hundred percent of the Class A convertible
preferred shares in each subsidiary. The Class A convertible preferred shares
owned by PNC have no voting rights. PNC, as holder of the Class A convertible
preferred shares, may convert such preferred shares to Class A common shares and
cause the liquidation of the subsidiary. A noncumulative annual dividend may be
paid on the preferred stock.
The third party financial institution formed each of the entities,
contributed three percent equity in the form of cash and received one hundred
percent of the Class B preferred shares and one hundred percent of the Class B
common shares of each entity. The proceeds received by the applicable entity
from the issuance of the Class A preferred and all of the Class B shares were
used by each entity to fund certain operating expenses, future commitments under
the loan and venture capital agreements, investment in a managed asset account
and to purchase U. S. Treasury zero coupon securities. The third party financial
institution is the managing member of each of the entities and holds one hundred
percent of the voting power. All management and operating decisions regarding
the assets are at the discretion of the managing member. The managing member is
paid an annual fee for its services. PNC is the servicer of the loans and
venture capital assets and is paid a servicing fee.
At the time of the transactions, the loans and venture capital investments
were removed from PNC's balance sheet and the preferred interests in the
entities were recorded as securities available for sale in conformity with
accounting guidance received from PNC's independent auditors. In January 2002,
the Federal Reserve Board staff advised PNC that under generally accepted
accounting principles the subsidiaries of the third party financial institution
should be consolidated into the financial statements of PNC in preparing bank
holding company reports. After considering all the circumstances, PNC restated
its consolidated financial statements for the second and third quarters of 2001
to conform financial reporting with regulatory reporting requirements.
72
The amounts contained in this report also include the restatement of the
results for the first quarter of 2001 to reflect the correction of an error
related to the accounting for the sale of the residential mortgage banking
business. This restatement reduced income from discontinued operations and net
income for 2001 by $35 million.
NOTE 4 FOURTH QUARTER ACTIONS
In the fourth quarter of 2001, PNC took several actions to accelerate the
strategic repositioning of its lending businesses that began in 1998. The
Corporation decided to exit approximately $7.9 billion of credit exposure
including $3.1 billion of loan outstandings in the institutional lending
portfolios. Of these amounts, approximately $5.2 billion of credit exposure and
$2.9 billion of loans, respectively, have been transferred to loans held for
sale. The remaining amounts have been designated for exit and are expected to
run off over the next several years. In connection with the transfer to held for
sale, $653 million of charge-offs and valuation adjustments were recognized in
the fourth quarter. Additionally, $90 million in charge-offs were taken against
the allowance for credit losses specifically allocated to these loans.
PNC also made the decision to discontinue its vehicle leasing business due
to continued depressed market conditions and the increased difficulty and cost
of obtaining residual value insurance protection. The vehicle leasing business
had $1.9 billion in assets at December 31, 2001 that have been designated for
exit and will mature over a period of approximately five years. Costs incurred
in 2001 to exit this business, including the impairment of goodwill associated
with a prior acquisition and employee severance costs, and additions to reserves
related to insured residual value exposures totaled $135 million and were
charged to noninterest expense.
The Corporation also recorded charges of $65 million in the fourth quarter
for certain integration, severance and other costs related to other strategic
initiatives.
NOTE 5 SALE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK
PNC recognizes as income the gain from the sale of stock by its subsidiaries.
The gain is the difference between PNC's basis in the stock and the proceeds per
share received. PNC provides applicable taxes on the gain.
In October 1999, BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), a majority-owned investment
management subsidiary of the Corporation, issued nine million shares of class A
common stock at $14.00 per share in an initial public offering ("IPO"). Prior to
the IPO, PNC and BlackRock's management owned approximately 82% and 18%,
respectively, of BlackRock's outstanding common stock. Proceeds from the sale
were approximately $115 million and resulted in PNC recording a pretax gain in
the amount of $64 million or $59 million after tax. As of December 31, 2001, PNC
owned approximately 70% of BlackRock.
NOTE 6 CASH FLOWS
For the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are
defined as cash and due from banks.
The following table sets forth information pertaining to acquisitions and
divestitures that affected cash flows:

NOTE 7 TRADING ACTIVITIES
Most of PNC's trading activities are designed to provide capital markets
services to customers and not to position the Corporation's portfolio for gains
from market movements. PNC participates in derivatives and foreign exchange
trading as well as underwriting and "market making" in equity securities as an
accommodation to customers. PNC also engages in trading activities as part of
risk management strategies.
Net trading income in 2001, 2000 and 1999 included in noninterest income was

NOTE 8 SECURITIES
The expected weighted-average life of securities available for sale was 4 years
at December 31, 2001 compared with 4 years and 5 months at year-end 2000 and 4
years and 7 months at year-end 1999.
The securities classified as held to maturity are owned by the subsidiaries
of a third party financial institution described in Note 3 Restatements. The
expected weighted-average life of securities held to maturity was 18 years and
11 months at December 31, 2001. PNC had no securities held to maturity at
December 31, 2000.
Net securities gains associated with the disposition of securities available
for sale were $131 million in 2001, $20 million in 2000 and $22 million in 1999.
Reflected in the 1999 net securities gains was a $41 million gain from the sale
of Concord EFS, Inc. ("Concord") stock that was partially offset by a $28
million write-down of an equity investment. Net securities losses of $3 million
in 2001 and net securities gains of $9 million and $3 million in 2000 and 1999,
respectively, related to commercial mortgage banking activities were included in
corporate services revenue.
Information relating to securities sold is set forth in the following table:

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public and trust deposits and
repurchase agreements and for other purposes was $6.2 billion and $3.8 billion
at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The fair value of
securities accepted as collateral that the Corporation is permitted by contract
or custom to sell or repledge was $260 million at December 31, 2001, of which
$160 million was repledged to others.
The following table presents the amortized cost, fair value and
weighted-average yield of debt securities at December 31, 2001, by remaining
contractual maturity.
Based on current interest rates and expected prepayment speeds, the total
weighted-average expected maturity of mortgage-backed securities was 4 years and
asset-backed securities was 4 years and 2 months at December 31, 2001.
Weighted-average yields are based on historical cost with effective yields
weighted for the contractual maturity of each security.
NOTE 9 LOANS AND COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT
Loans outstanding were as follows:
Loans outstanding and related unfunded commitments are concentrated in PNC's
primary geographic markets. At December 31, 2001, no specific industry
concentration exceeded 8.3% of total commercial loans outstanding and unfunded
commitments.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Total $31,043 $31,702
================================================================
Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds subject to
specified contractual conditions. At December 31, 2001, commercial commitments
are reported net of $7.1 billion of participations, assignments and
syndications, primarily to financial institutions. The comparable amount was
$7.2 billion at December 31, 2000. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates, may require payment of a fee, and contain termination clauses in the
event the customer's credit quality deteriorates. Based on the Corporation's
historical experience, most commitments expire unfunded, and therefore cash
requirements are substantially less than the total commitment.
Net outstanding letters of credit totaled $4.0 billion at December 31, 2001
and 2000 and consisted primarily of standby letters of credit that commit the
Corporation to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future
events occur. Such instruments are typically issued to support industrial
revenue bonds, commercial paper, and bid-or-performance related contracts. At
year-end 2001, the largest industry concentration within standby letters of
credit was for educational services, which accounted for approximately 9% of the
total. Maturities for standby letters of credit ranged from 2002 to 2011.
At December 31, 2001, $14.7 billion of loans were pledged to secure
borrowings and for other purposes.
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries, as well as certain affiliated companies of these directors and
officers, were customers of and had loans with subsidiary banks in the ordinary
course of business. All such loans were on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other customers and did not involve more than a
normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate principal amounts of these loans
were $24 million and $29 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
During 2001, new loans of $47 million were funded and repayments totaled $52
million.
NOTE 10 NONPERFORMING ASSETS
The following table sets forth nonperforming assets and related information:
(a) Includes $6 million of a troubled debt restructured loan held for sale in
2001.
(b) The above table excludes $18 million, $18 million and $13 million of equity
management assets at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, that
are carried at estimated fair value.

$28 million and $76 million. The average balance of impaired loans was $319
million in 2001, $277 million in 2000 and $243 million in 1999. There was no
interest income recognized on impaired loans in 2001, 2000 or 1999.
NOTE 12 PREMISES, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Premises, equipment and leasehold improvements, stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization, were as follows:
-----------------
December 31 - in millions 2001 2000
=======================================================
Land $87 $86

Accumulated depreciation and
amortization (1,141) (1,069)
- -------------------------------------------------------
Net book value $1,128 $1,036
=======================================================
Depreciation and amortization expense on premises, equipment and leasehold
improvements totaled $168 million in 2001, $149 million in 2000 and $204 million
in 1999.
Certain facilities and equipment are leased under agreements expiring at
various dates through the year 2071. Substantially all such leases are accounted
for as operating leases. Rental expense on such leases amounted to $165 million
in 2001, $148 million in 2000 and $132 million in 1999.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, required minimum annual rentals due on
noncancelable leases having terms in excess of one year aggregated $908 million
and $684 million, respectively. Minimum annual rentals for each of the years
2002 through 2006 are $125 million, $115 million, $104 million, $96 million and
$85 million, respectively.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, management of PFPC Worldwide Inc., a
majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, initiated a plan to consolidate
certain facilities as a follow-up to the integration of the Investor Services
Group acquisition. In connection with this initiative and other strategic
actions in the fourth quarter 2001, pretax charges to noninterest expense of $36
million were recognized in the fourth quarter. The charges primarily reflect
termination costs related to exiting certain lease agreements and the
abandonment of related leasehold improvements.
During 1999, PNC made the decision to sell various branches and office
buildings. Initial write-downs were recorded in noninterest expense and
generally reflected the difference between book value and appraised value less
selling costs. Write-downs totaled $35 million and subsequent net gains from
disposals totaled $8 million in 1999.
NOTE 13 GOODWILL AND OTHER AMORTIZABLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other amortizable assets, net of amortization, consisted of the
following:
--------------------

NOTE 14 SECURITIZATIONS
During 2001, the Corporation sold residential mortgage loans, commercial
mortgage loans and other loans totaling $1.0 billion, $374 million, and $82
million, respectively, in secondary market securitization transactions. These
securitization transactions resulted in pretax gains of $9.6 million, $1
million, and $2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2001.
In addition to the sale of loans discussed above, in March 2001 PNC
securitized $3.8 billion of residential mortgage loans by selling the loans into
a trust with PNC retaining 99% or $3.7 billion of the certificates. PNC also
securitized $175 million of commercial mortgage loans by selling the loans into
a trust with PNC retaining 99% or $173 million of the certificates. In each
case, the 1% interest in the trust was purchased by a publicly-traded entity
managed by a subsidiary of PNC. A substantial portion of the entity's purchase
price was financed by PNC. The reclassification of these loans to securities
increased the liquidity of the assets and was consistent with PNC's on-going
balance sheet restructuring. At the time of the residential mortgage
securitization, gains of $25.9 million were deferred and are being recognized
when principal payments are received or the securities are sold to third
parties. At December 31, 2001, these securities had been reduced to $1.3 billion
through sales and principal payments and the remaining deferred gains were $7.8
million. No gain was recognized at the time of the commercial mortgage loan
securitization and none of the securities retained at the time of the
securitization remained on the balance sheet at December 31, 2001.
In addition to the securities discussed above, the Corporation retained
certain interest-only strips and servicing rights that were created in the sale
of certain loans. Additional information on these items is contained below.
Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the
interest-only strips and servicing rights at the date of the securitization
resulting from securitizations completed during the year and related information
were as follows:

=============================================================================
Proceeds from new securitizations are limited to cash proceeds received from
third parties. It excludes the value of securities generated as a result of the
recharacterization of loans to securities. During 2001 and 2000, there were no
purchases of delinquent or foreclosed assets, and servicing advances and
repayments of servicing advances were not significant.
Changes in the Corporation's commercial mortgage servicing assets are as
follows:

==============================================================================
Assuming a prepayment speed of 10% and weighted average life of 10.8 years
discounted at 10%, the estimated fair value of commercial mortgage servicing
rights was $240 million at December 31, 2001. A 10% and 20% adverse change in
all assumptions used to determine fair value at December 31, 2001, results in a
$22 million and $44 million decrease in fair value, respectively. No valuation
allowance was necessary for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000.
78
At December 31, 2001, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the
current fair value of residual cash flows to an immediate 10% or 20% adverse
change in those assumptions are as follows:

==========================================================================
(a) Historically, there have been no prepayments on these loans, which are
guaranteed by an agency of the U. S. Government.
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the
figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions
generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in
assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a
variation in a particular assumption on fair value is calculated independently
of variations in other assumptions, whereas a change in one factor may
realistically have an impact on another, which might magnify or counteract the
sensitivities.
During 2000, the Corporation sold commercial mortgage loans of $865 million
in secondary market securitization transactions and recognized a pretax gain of
$13 million. Additionally, the Corporation sold $737 million of commercial
mortgage loans into a trust. The Corporation retained servicing rights in the
loans and 99% or $730 million of the mortgage-backed securities. The 1% interest
in the trust was purchased by a publicly-traded entity managed by a subsidiary
of PNC. A substantial portion of the entity's purchase price was financed by
PNC. The Corporation had securities of $155 million related to the trust in its
portfolio at December 31, 2000. No gain related to the portion of securities
retained was recognized by the Corporation as of December 31, 2000. The
securities were subsequently sold to third parties in the first quarter of 2001.
NOTE 15 DEPOSITS
The aggregate amount of time deposits with a denomination greater than $100,000
was $4.0 billion and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Remaining contractual maturities of time deposits for the years 2002 through
2006 and thereafter are $8.7 billion, $1.3 billion, $1.2 billion, $681 million
and $917 million, respectively.
NOTE 16 BORROWED FUNDS
Bank notes have interest rates ranging from 1.95% to 6.50% with approximately
40% maturing in 2002. Senior and subordinated notes consisted of the following:

Included in outstandings for the senior and subordinated notes in the table
above are basis adjustments of $8 million and $89 million, respectively, related
to SFAS No. 133.
NOTE 17 CAPITAL SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Securities of Subsidiary Trusts ("Capital
Securities") include nonvoting preferred beneficial interests in the assets of
PNC Institutional Capital Trust A, Trust B and Trust C. Trust A, formed in
December 1996, holds $350 million of 7.95% junior subordinated debentures, due
December 15, 2026, and redeemable after December 15, 2006, at a premium that
declines from 103.975% to par on or after December 15, 2016. Trust B, formed in
May 1997, holds $300 million of 8.315% junior subordinated debentures due May
15, 2027, and redeemable after May 15, 2007, at a premium that declines from
104.1575% to par on or after May 15, 2017. Trust C, formed in June 1998, holds
$200 million of junior subordinated debentures due June 1, 2028, bearing
interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 57 basis
points. The rate in effect at December 31, 2001 was 2.65%. Trust C Capital
Securities are redeemable on or after June 1, 2008 at par.
79
Cash distributions on the Capital Securities are made to the extent interest
on the debentures is received by the Trusts. In the event of certain changes or
amendments to regulatory requirements or federal tax rules, the Capital
Securities are redeemable in whole.
Trust A is a wholly owned finance subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., PNC's
principal bank subsidiary, and Trusts B and C are wholly owned finance
subsidiaries of the Corporation.
The respective parents of the Trusts have, through the agreements governing
the Capital Securities, taken together, fully, irrevocably and unconditionally
guaranteed all of the obligations of the Trusts under the Capital Securities.

Series A through D are cumulative and, except for Series B, are redeemable at
the option of the Corporation. Annual dividends on Series A, B and D preferred
stock total $1.80 per share and on Series C preferred stock total $1.60 per
share. Holders of Series A through D preferred stock are entitled to a number of
votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such
preferred stock is convertible. Series A through D preferred stock have the
following conversion privileges: (i) one share of Series A or Series B is
convertible into eight shares of common stock; and (ii) 2.4 shares of Series C
or Series D are convertible into four shares of common stock.
The Series F preferred stock was nonconvertible and nonvoting, except in
limited circumstances. On March 6, 2001, the Corporation commenced a cash tender
offer for its nonconvertible Series F preferred stock. Approximately 1.9
million shares were purchased by the Corporation at a price of $50.35 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends on April 5, 2001. The remainder of the
outstanding shares of Series F preferred stock was redeemed on October 4, 2001
for approximately $205 million.
During 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan
providing for issuance of share purchase rights. Except as provided in the plan,
if a person or group becomes beneficial owner of 10% or more of PNC's
outstanding common stock, all holders of the rights, other than such person or
group, may purchase PNC common stock or equivalent preferred stock at half of
market value.
The Corporation has a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. Holders
of preferred stock and common stock may participate in the plan, which provides
that additional shares of common stock may be purchased at market value with
reinvested dividends and voluntary cash payments. Common shares purchased
pursuant to this plan were: 472,015 shares in 2001, 649,334 shares in 2000 and
567,266 shares in 1999.
At December 31, 2001, the Corporation had reserved approximately 33.8
million common shares to be issued in connection with certain stock plans and
the conversion of certain debt and equity securities.
NOTE 19 REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state
agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by such regulatory authorities.
Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to written
agreements entered into with any of the agencies.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a material effect on PNC's financial condition and results of
operations. The Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by regulatory agencies about components, risk
weightings and other factors.
80
The following table sets forth regulatory capital ratios for PNC and its
only significant bank subsidiary, PNC Bank, N.A.:
REGULATORY CAPITAL

PNC 4,599 5,367 6.8 8.0
PNC Bank, N.A. 4,704 5,055 7.6 8.2
=======================================================================
The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, the ability to pay dividends, deposit insurance costs, and the
level and nature of regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial
institution's capital strength. The minimum regulatory capital ratios are 4% for
Tier I risk-based, 8% for total risk-based and 3% for leverage. However,
regulators may require higher capital levels when particular circumstances
warrant. To qualify as "well capitalized," regulators require banks to maintain
capital ratios of at least 6% for Tier I risk-based, 10% for total risk-based
and 5% for leverage. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation and each bank
subsidiary met the "well capitalized" capital ratio requirements.
The principal source of parent company revenue and cash flow is the
dividends it receives from PNC Bank. The bank's dividend level may be impacted
by its capital needs, supervisory policies, corporate policies, contractual
restrictions and other factors. Also, there are legal limitations on the ability
of national banks to pay dividends or make other capital distributions. PNC Bank
was not permitted to pay dividends to the parent company as of December 31, 2001
without prior approval from banking regulators as a result of the repositioning
charges taken in 2001 and prior dividends. Under these limitations, PNC Bank's
capacity to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval can be restored
through retention of earnings. Management expects PNC Bank's dividend capacity
relative to such legal limitations to be restored during 2002 from retained
earnings. The parent company currently has available funds to pay dividends at
current rates through 2002.
Under federal law, bank subsidiaries generally may not extend credit to the
parent company or its nonbank subsidiaries on terms and under circumstances that
are not substantially the same as comparable extensions of credit to
nonaffiliates. No extension of credit may be made to the parent company or a
nonbank subsidiary which is in excess of 10% of the capital stock and surplus of
such bank subsidiary or in excess of 20% of the capital and surplus of such bank
subsidiary as to aggregate extensions of credit to the parent company and its
subsidiaries. Such extensions of credit, with limited exceptions, must be fully
collateralized by certain specified assets. In certain circumstances, federal
regulatory authorities may impose more restrictive limitations.
Federal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to
maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. During 2001, subsidiary
banks maintained reserves which averaged $127 million.
NOTE 20 FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
Effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented SFAS No. 133. As a result
of the adoption of this statement, the Corporation recognized, in the first
quarter of 2001, an after-tax loss from the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $5 million reported in the consolidated income statement
and an after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4 million. The impact
of the adoption of this standard related to the residential mortgage banking
business is reflected in the results of discontinued operations.
Earnings adjustments resulting from cash flow and fair value hedge
ineffectiveness were not significant to the results of operations of the
Corporation during 2001.
During the next twelve months, the Corporation expects to reclassify to
earnings $118 million of pretax net gains, or $77 million after tax, on cash
flow hedge derivatives currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income. These net gains are anticipated to result from net cash flows on receive
fixed interest rate swaps and would mitigate reductions in interest income
recognized on the related floating rate commercial loans.
The Corporation generally has established agreements with its major
derivative dealer counterparties that provide for exchanges of marketable
securities or cash to collateralize either party's positions. At December 31,
2001 the Corporation held cash and U.S. government securities with a fair value
of $190 million to collateralize net gains with counterparties.
At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had financial derivatives used for
risk management with notional amounts totaling $15.7 billion. These derivatives
had a net positive fair
81
value of $92 million at December 31, 2000. Included in these amounts were credit
default swaps, with notional amounts of $4.4 billion and negative fair value of
$2 million, no longer considered to be derivatives under SFAS No. 133, due to
their particular structure.
In addition, at December 31, 2000 the Corporation had financial derivatives
for customer-related and other purposes with notional amounts totaling $31.3
billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. These derivatives had net fair values of
negative $12 million and positive $12 million, respectively. Total positive and
negative fair value positions within the customer-related derivatives were $273
million and $285 million, respectively. Total positive and negative fair value
positions for derivatives held for other purposes were $13 million and $1
million, respectively.
NOTE 21 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan
covering most employees. Retirement benefits are derived from a cash balance
formula based on compensation levels, age and length of service. Pension
contributions are based on an actuarially determined amount necessary to fund
total benefits payable to plan participants.
The Corporation also maintains nonqualified supplemental retirement plans
for certain employees. All retirement benefits provided under these plans are
unfunded and any payments to plan participants are made by the Corporation. The
Corporation also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees ("post-retirement benefits") through various plans.
A reconciliation of the changes in the benefit obligation for qualified and
nonqualified pension plans and post-retirement benefit plans as well as the
change in plan assets for the qualified pension plan is as follows:
The accrued pension benefit liability above includes $39 million and $34 million
for the nonqualified plans at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
accumulated benefit obligation for pension plans with accumulated benefit
obligations in excess of plan assets (the nonqualified plans) were $60 million
and $53 million as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The
nonqualified plans had no plan assets at either date.
Plan assets primarily consist of listed common stocks, U.S. government and
agency securities and various mutual funds managed by BlackRock from which
BlackRock and PFPC receive compensation for providing investment advisory,
custodial and transfer agency services. Plan assets are managed by BlackRock and
do not include common or preferred stock of the Corporation.

INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN
The Corporation sponsors an incentive savings plan that covers substantially all
employees. Under this plan, employee contributions up to 6% of biweekly
compensation as defined by the plan are matched, subject to Internal Revenue
Code limitations. Contributions to the plan are matched primarily by shares of
PNC common stock held in treasury or by the Corporation's employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"). The Corporation also maintains a nonqualified
supplemental savings plan for certain employees.
The Corporation makes annual contributions to the ESOP that are at least
equal to the debt service requirements on the ESOP's borrowings less dividends
received by the ESOP. All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt
service. Dividends used for debt service totaled $8 million in 2001 and $9
million in 2000 and 1999. To satisfy additional debt service requirements, PNC
contributed $1 million in 2001 and $9 million in 1999. No contributions were
made in 2000. As of December 31, 2001 the ESOP's borrowings have been paid off
or fully extinguished.
As the ESOP's borrowings were repaid, shares were allocated to employees who
made contributions during the year based on the proportion of annual debt
service to total debt service. The Corporation includes all ESOP shares as
common shares outstanding in the earnings per share computation.

expense related to these plans was $28 million, $30 million and $17 million for
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 22 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation has a long-term incentive award plan ("Incentive Plan") that
provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock and
other incentive shares to executives and directors. In any given year, the
number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Incentive Plan
may range from 1.5% to 3% of total issued shares of common stock determined at
the end of the preceding calendar year. Of this amount, no more than 20% is
available for restricted stock and other incentive share awards.
As of December 31, 2001 no incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights or performance unit awards were outstanding.
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS
Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the market value of common
stock on the date of grant. Generally, options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999
become exercisable in installments after the grant date. Options granted prior
to 1999 are mainly exercisable twelve months after the grant date. Payment of
the option price may be in cash or previously owned shares of common stock at
market value on the exercise date.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted in 2001, 2000
and 1999 was $15.87, $9.86 and $10.15 per option, respectively. At December 31,
2000 and 1999 options for 5,834,898 and 7,682,745 shares of common stock,
respectively, were exercisable at a weighted-average price of $45.96 and $42.05,
respectively.
There were no options granted in excess of market value in 2001 or 2000.
Options for 82,000 shares of common stock were granted in 1999 with an exercise
price in excess of the market value on the date of grant. Shares of common stock
available for the granting of options and other awards under the Incentive Plan
and the predecessor plans were 10,584,683 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
84
INCENTIVE SHARE AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
In 1998, incentive share awards potentially representing 362,250 shares of
common stock were granted to certain senior executives pursuant to the Incentive
Plan. Issuance of restricted shares pursuant to these incentive awards was
subject to the market price of PNC's common stock equaling or exceeding
specified levels for defined periods. In 2001, 104,250 of these shares were
issued. The remaining shares expired and will not be issued under this award.
The restricted period ends July 1, 2003. During the restricted period, the
recipient receives dividends and can vote the shares. Generally, if the
recipient leaves the Corporation before the end of the restricted period, the
shares will be forfeited.
In 2000, 606,000 incentive shares of common stock were granted to certain
senior executives pursuant to the Incentive Plan. One-half of any shares of
restricted stock issued pursuant to these awards will vest after three years and
the remainder after four years. Shares awarded under this grant will be offset
on a share-for-share basis by shares received, if any, by the executive from the
1998 grant.
There were 39,000 and 66,000 incentive shares forfeited during 2001 and
2000, respectively. No shares were forfeited in 1999.
In addition, 33,600, 53,100 and 37,500 shares of restricted stock were
granted to certain key employees in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These
shares vest 25% after three years, 25% after four years and 50% after five
years. There were 13,000 shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee
directors in 2001. One half of these shares vest after one year and the
remainder after two years. In 2000, 245,000 shares of restricted stock were
granted to senior executives with a three-year vesting period.
Compensation expense recognized for incentive share and restricted stock
awards totaled $10 million, $8 million and $12 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Corporation's employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") has approximately 2.6
million shares available for issuance. Persons who have been continuously
employed for at least one year are eligible to participate. Participants
purchase the Corporation's common stock at 85% of the lesser of fair market
value on the first or last day of each offering period. No charge to earnings is
recorded with respect to the ESPP.
Shares issued pursuant to the ESPP were as follows:
--------------------------------

===========================================================
For purposes of computing pro forma results, PNC estimated the fair value of
stock options and ESPP shares using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The model requires the use of numerous assumptions, many of which are highly
subjective in nature. Therefore, the pro forma results are estimates of results
of operations as if compensation expense had been recognized for all stock-based
compensation plans and are not indicative of the impact on future periods. The
following assumptions were used in the option pricing model for purposes of
estimating pro forma results. The dividend yield represents average yields over
the previous three-year period. Volatility is measured using the fluctuation in
quarter-end closing stock prices over a five-year period.

NOTE 24 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Several putative class action complaints have been filed against the
Corporation, certain present and former officers or directors and its
independent auditors for 2001 alleging violations of federal securities laws
relating to disclosures and seeking unquantified damages on behalf of purchasers
of the Corporation's common stock during specified periods. Management believes
there are substantial defenses to the lawsuits and intends to defend them
vigorously. The impact of the final disposition of these lawsuits cannot be
assessed at this time.
In January 2001, PNC sold its residential mortgage banking business. Certain
closing date purchase price adjustments aggregating approximately $300 million
pretax are currently in dispute between the parties. The Corporation has
established a receivable of approximately $140 million to reflect additional
purchase price it believes is due from the buyer. The buyer has taken the
position that the purchase price it has already paid should be reduced by
approximately $160 million. The Corporation has established specific reserves
related to a portion of its recorded receivable. The purchase agreement requires
that an independent public accounting firm determine the final adjustments. The
buyer also has filed a lawsuit against the Corporation seeking compensatory
damages with respect to certain of the disputed matters that the Corporation
believes are covered by the process provided in the purchase agreement,
unquantified punitive damages and declaratory and other relief. Management
intends to assert the Corporation's positions vigorously. Management believes
that, net of available reserves, an adverse outcome, expected to be recorded in
discontinued operations, could be material to net income in the period in which
recorded, but that the final disposition of this matter will not be material to
the Corporation's financial position.
The Corporation, in the normal course of business, is subject to various
other pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are
asserted. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability,
if any, arising out of such other lawsuits will have a material adverse effect
on the Corporation's financial position.
At the present time, management is not in a position to determine whether
any pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's results of operations in any future reporting period.
The staffs of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve
Board have informed PNC that they are conducting inquiries with respect to the
transactions with subsidiaries of a third party financial institution described
in Note 3 Restatements. PNC is cooperating with these inquiries.

NOTE 25 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth basic and diluted earnings per share

87
NOTE 26 SEGMENT REPORTING
PNC operates seven major businesses engaged in regional community banking,
corporate banking, real estate finance, asset-based lending, wealth management,
asset management and global fund services.
Business results are presented based on PNC's management accounting
practices and the Corporation's management structure. There is no comprehensive,
authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to generally
accepted accounting principles; therefore, PNC's business results are not
necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial services
institution. Financial results are presented, to the extent practicable, as if
each business operated on a stand-alone basis.
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income
statement assignments and transfers to measure performance of the businesses.
Methodologies change from time to time as management accounting practices are
enhanced and businesses change. Securities available for sale or borrowings and
related net interest income are assigned based on the net asset or liability
position of each business. Capital is assigned based on management's assessment
of inherent risks and equity levels at independent companies providing similar
products and services. The allowance for credit losses is allocated based on
management's assessment of risk inherent in the loan portfolios. Support areas
not directly aligned with the businesses are allocated primarily based on the
utilization of services.
Total business financial results differ from consolidated results from
continuing operations primarily due to differences between management accounting
practices and generally accepted accounting principles, equity management
activities, minority interest in income of consolidated entities, residual asset
and liability management activities, unallocated reserves, eliminations and
unassigned items, the impact of which is reflected in the "Other" category.
The impact of the institutional lending repositioning and other strategic
actions that occurred during 2001, 2000 and 1999 is reflected in the business
results.

NOTE 28 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented SFAS No. 133. The
statement requires the Corporation to recognize all derivative instruments
as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value.
Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other
liabilities.
(b) Due to the structure of these contracts, they are no longer considered
financial derivatives under SFAS No. 133.
Real and personal property, lease financing, loan customer relationships,
deposit customer intangibles, retail branch networks, fee-based businesses, such
as asset management and brokerage, trademarks and brand names are excluded from
the amounts set forth in the previous table. Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Corporation.
Fair value is defined as the estimated amount at which a financial
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
or other than in a forced or liquidation sale. However, it is not management's
intention to immediately dispose of a significant portion of such financial
instruments, and unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a
forecast of future earnings and cash flows. The derived fair values are
subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and significant judgment and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly impact the derived fair value estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value
amounts for financial instruments.
GENERAL
For short-term financial instruments realizable in three months or less, the
carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair
value. Unless otherwise stated, the rates used in discounted cash flow analyses
are based on market yield curves.
CASH AND SHORT-TERM ASSETS
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and
short-term investments approximate fair values primarily due to their short-term
nature. For purposes of this disclosure only, short-term assets include due from
banks, interest-earning deposits with banks, federal funds sold and resale
agreements, trading securities, customer's acceptance liability and accrued
interest receivable.
SECURITIES
The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices, where available.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using the
quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
91
NET LOANS AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash
flows incorporating assumptions about prepayment rates, credit losses and
servicing fees and costs. For revolving home equity loans, this fair value does
not include any amount for new loans or the related fees that will be generated
from the existing customer relationships. In the case of nonaccrual loans,
scheduled cash flows exclude interest payments. The carrying value of loans held
for sale approximates fair value.
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The fair value of commercial mortgage servicing rights is estimated based on the
present value of future cash flows. These fair values are based on assumptions
as to prepayment speeds, discount rate and the weighted-average life of the
related commercial loans.
DEPOSITS
The carrying amounts of noninterest-bearing demand and interest-bearing money
market and savings deposits approximate fair values. For time deposits, which
include foreign deposits, fair values are estimated based on the discounted
value of expected net cash flows assuming current interest rates.
BORROWED FUNDS
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, commercial paper, acceptances
outstanding and accrued interest payable are considered to be their fair value
because of their short-term nature. For all other borrowed funds, fair values
are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows assuming
current interest rates.
UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
Fair values for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are estimated
based on the amount of deferred fees and the creditworthiness of the
counterparties.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER DERIVATIVES
The fair value of derivatives is based on the discounted value of the expected
net cash flows. These fair values represent the amounts the Corporation would
receive or pay to terminate the contracts, assuming current interest rates.
NOTE 29 UNUSED LINE OF CREDIT
At December 31, 2001, the Corporation maintained a line of credit in the amount
of $500 million, none of which was drawn. This line is available for general
corporate purposes and expires in 2003.
NOTE 30 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2002, PNC Business Credit acquired a portion of the U.S. asset-based
lending business of NBOC. As a result of this acquisition, PNC Business Credit
established six new marketing offices and enhanced its presence as one of the
premier asset-based lenders for the middle market customer segment. At the
acquisition date, credit exposure acquired was approximately $2.6 billion
including $1.5 billion of loan outstandings. None of the loans were
nonperforming at acquisition.
Additionally, PNC Business Credit agreed to service a portion of NBOC's
remaining U.S. asset-based loan portfolio ("serviced portfolio") for a period of
eighteen months. The serviced portfolio consisted of approximately $670 million
of credit exposure including $463 million of outstandings as of the acquisition
date. At closing, $138 million of these outstandings were classified as
nonperforming. The serviced portfolio's credit exposure and outstandings are
expected to be reduced through managed liquidation and runoff during the
eighteen-month servicing period. At the end of the servicing term, NBOC has the
right to transfer the then remaining serviced portfolio to PNC Business Credit.
PNC Business Credit established a liability of $112 million in 2002 as part of
the allocation of the purchase price to reflect this obligation. The amount of
this liability will be assessed quarterly with any changes recognized in
earnings. During the servicing term, NBOC will be responsible for realized
credit losses with respect to the serviced portfolio to a maximum of $50
million. If the right to transfer is exercised, the Corporation is responsible
for realized credit losses on the serviced portfolio that may occur during the
eighteen-month period in excess of certain NBOC specific reserves related to
those assets, when applicable (available only on specified credits), and the $50
million first loss position. PNC Business Credit management currently expects
the amounts indicated above to be adequate to cover potential losses in
connection with the serviced portfolio.
On January 3, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to
purchase up to 35 million shares of its common stock through February 29, 2004.
These shares may be purchased in the open market or privately negotiated
transactions. This authorization terminated any prior authorization. The extent
and timing of any share repurchases will depend on a number of factors
including, among others, progress in disposing of loans held for sale,
regulatory capital considerations, alternative uses of capital and receipt of
regulatory approvals if then required.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION
THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC.
PNC restated its consolidated financial statements for the first, second and
third quarters of 2001 and revised previously announced results for the fourth
quarter of 2001. These restatements were made to reflect the correction of an
error related to the accounting for the sale of the residential mortgage banking
business in the first quarter and to consolidate certain subsidiaries of a third
party financial institution in the second, third and fourth quarters. See Note 3
Restatements for additional information.
The error correction reduced income from discontinued operations and net
income by $35 million for the first quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share
was reduced by $.12.
The consolidation of the third party subsidiaries reduced third quarter net
income by $51 million and diluted earnings per share by $.18 and fourth quarter
results by $104 million and $.37, respectively.
In consolidation, all loan assets of the third party subsidiaries are
included in loans held for sale. At the date of sale, the difference between the
sale price and carrying value was recorded as charge-offs for portfolio loans
and as valuation adjustments in noninterest income for loans previously held for
sale. Subsequent to the date of sale, lower of cost or market adjustments have
been recorded through charges to noninterest income.
The following table summarizes the charges related to the assets in these
entities for 2001.

SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA
(a) The sum of the quarterly amounts in 2001 does not equal the year's amount
because the quarterly calculations are based on a changing number of average
shares.
(b) Additional shares were excluded from fourth quarter 2001 EPS calculations
since they were antidilutive.

AVERAGE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND NET INTEREST ANALYSIS
Nonaccrual loans are included in loans, net of unearned income. The impact of
financial derivatives used in interest rate risk management is included in the
interest and average yields/rates of the related assets and liabilities. Average

(a) Excluding $804 million of net charge-offs in 2001 related to the
institutional lending repositioning initiative, net charge-offs would be
.32% of average loans and the allowance as a multiple of net charge-offs
would be 4.38x.
(b) Excluding $714 million of provision in 2001 related to the institutional
lending repositioning initiative, provision for credit losses would be .42%
of average loans.
The following table presents the allocation of allowance for credit losses and
the categories of loans as a percentage of total loans. For purposes of this
presentation, the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses has
been assigned to loan categories based on the relative specific and pool
allocation amounts. At December 31, 2001, the unallocated portion was $143
million.
