PART I
Forward-Looking Statements: From time to time The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. ("PNC" or "Corporation") has made and may continue to make written or oral
forward-looking statements with respect to the Corporation's outlook or
expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels, asset quality or
other future financial or business performance, strategies and expectations and
the impact of legal, regulatory and supervisory matters on the Corporation's
business operations and performance. This Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form
10-K") also includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "feel," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project,"
"position," "target," "assume," "achievable," "potential," "strategy," "goal,"
"objective," "plan," "aspiration," "outcome," "continue," "remain," "maintain,"
"seek," "strive," "trend," and variations of such words and similar expressions,
or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could,"
"might," "can," "may" or similar expressions.
The Corporation cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and
future results could differ materially from historical performance.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the
Corporation assumes no duty and does not undertake to update forward-looking
statements.
The factors discussed elsewhere in this report and the following factors, among
others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated
in forward-looking statements or from historical performance:
(1) 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, increased credit losses, and increased
funding of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit; an adverse
effect on the allowances for credit losses and unfunded loan commitments and
letters of credit; a reduction in demand for credit or fee-based products
and services; a reduction in net interest income, value of assets under
management and assets serviced, value of private equity 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;
(2) relative and absolute investment performance of assets under management;
(3) 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, or to
implement integration plans relating to or resulting from mergers,
acquisitions, restructurings and divestitures;
(4) customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices and their
acceptance of PNC's products and services;
(5) the impact of increased competition;
(6) how PNC chooses to redeploy available capital, including the extent and
timing of any share repurchases and investments in PNC businesses;
(7) the inability to manage risks inherent in PNC's business;
(8) the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or government inquiries;
the impact of increased litigation risk from recent regulatory
developments; and the impact of reputational risk created by recent
regulatory developments on such matters as business generation and
retention, the ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and
funding;
(9) the denial of insurance coverage for claims made by PNC;
(10) 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
2
risk, a higher provision for credit losses and reduced profitability;
(11) 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;
(12) actions of the Federal Reserve Board;
(13) the impact of legislative and regulatory reforms and changes in accounting
policies and principles;
(14) the impact of the regulatory examination process, the Corporation's failure
to satisfy the requirements of written agreements with regulatory agencies,
and regulators' future use of supervisory and enforcement tools; and
(15) terrorist activities and international hostilities, including the
situations surrounding Iraq and North Korea, which may adversely affect the
general economy, financial and capital markets, specific industries, and
the Corporation.
Some of the above factors are described in more detail in the "Risk Factors"
section of the "Financial Review" included on pages 48 through 53 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders, and factors relating to interest rate risk, operational
risk, trading activities, financial and other derivatives and off-balance sheet
activities are discussed in the "Risk Management" section of the "Financial
Review" included on pages 53 through 61 of the Annual Report to Shareholders.
Factors relating to credit risk and liquidity are discussed in the "Consolidated
Balance Sheet Review" section of the "Financial Review" included on pages 40
through 48 of the Annual Report to Shareholders. The Annual Report to
Shareholders is incorporated herein by reference. Other factors are described
elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the Annual Report to Shareholders.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW The Corporation is a bank holding company registered under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act") and a financial holding
company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"). PNC was incorporated under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1983 with the consolidation of
Pittsburgh National Corporation and Provident National Corporation. Since 1983,
PNC has diversified its geographical presence, business mix and product
capabilities through strategic bank and nonbank acquisitions and the formation
of various nonbanking subsidiaries.
The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial services companies
in the United States, operating businesses engaged in regional community
banking; wholesale banking, including corporate banking, real estate finance and
asset-based lending; wealth management; asset management and global fund
processing services. The Corporation and its subsidiaries provide certain
products and services nationally and others in PNC's primary geographic markets
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky. The Corporation and
its subsidiaries also provide certain banking, asset management and global fund
processing services internationally. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation's
consolidated total assets, deposits and shareholders' equity were $66.4 billion,
$45.0 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. In the context of this Business
Overview, financial and other information by segment is included in "Note 26
Segment Reporting" of the "Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements" included
on pages 100 and 101 of the Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated
herein by reference. Information on certain acquisitions and divestitures is
included in "Note 2 NBOC Acquisition" and "Note 4 Discontinued Operations"
included on pages 81 and 83, respectively, of the Annual Report to Shareholders
and is incorporated herein by reference.
REVIEW OF BUSINESSES Information relating to the Corporation's businesses, which
reflect its operating structure during 2002, is set forth under the captions
"Overview" and "Review of Businesses" in the "Financial Review" included on
pages 28 through 37 of the Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated
herein by reference.
SUBSIDIARIES The corporate legal structure currently consists of two subsidiary
banks, with their subsidiaries, and over 70 active nonbank subsidiaries. PNC
Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank"), headquartered in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, is the Corporation's principal bank subsidiary. At December 31,
2002, PNC Bank had total consolidated assets representing approximately 90% of
the Corporation's consolidated assets. For additional information on
subsidiaries, see Exhibit 21 to this Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

RISK FACTORS & MANAGEMENT The Corporation is subject to a number of risk factors
including, among others: business and economic conditions; the successful
execution of the Corporation's 2001 strategic repositioning; changes in the
underlying factors, assumptions and estimates inherent in the Corporation's
critical accounting policies and judgments; compliance with applicable standards
established by supervisory
3
and regulatory bodies; monetary and other policies; competition;
disintermediation; and risk relating to asset management performance, fund
servicing, acquisitions, and terrorist activities and international hostilities.
These factors, and others, could impact the Corporation's business, financial
condition and results of operations. In the normal course of business, the
Corporation assumes various types of risk, which include, among others, credit
risk, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, and
risk associated with trading activities, financial and other derivatives and
"off-balance-sheet" activities. PNC has risk management processes designed to
provide for risk identification, measurement and monitoring.
Risk factors are described in more detail in the "Credit Risk", "Liquidity" and
"Risk Factors" sections of the "Financial Review" included on pages 43 through
46, 46 through 48, and 48 through 53, respectively, of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Corporation's risk
management processes are described in more detail in the "Risk Management"
section of the "Financial Review" included on pages 53 through 61 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. Also, see the
Forward-Looking Statements section at the beginning of Part I of this Form 10-K
for certain other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from forward-looking statements or historical performance.
EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL, MONETARY AND OTHER POLICIES The activities and results
of operations of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are affected by
monetary, tax and other policies of the government and its agencies, including
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board").
An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national
supply of bank credit. The Federal Reserve Board employs open market operations
in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings
and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits to implement its monetary
policy objectives. These instruments of monetary policy are used in varying
combinations to influence the overall level of bank loans, investments and
deposits, the interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits, the price
of the dollar in foreign exchange markets and the level of inflation. The
Federal Reserve Board's policies influence the rates of interest that PNC
charges on loans and pays on borrowings and 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. It is not possible to predict the nature or timing
of future changes in monetary, tax and other policies or the effect that they
may have on the Corporation's activities and results of operations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION The assets and liabilities of the Corporation are primarily
monetary in nature. Accordingly, future changes in prices do not affect the
obligations to pay or receive fixed and determinable amounts of money. During
periods of inflation, monetary assets lose value in terms of purchasing power
and monetary liabilities have corresponding purchasing power gains. The concept
of purchasing power, however, is not an adequate indicator of the effect of
inflation on banks because it does not take into account changes in interest
rates, which are an important determinant of the Corporation's earnings. A
discussion of interest rate risk is set forth under the caption "Interest Rate
Risk" in the "Risk Management" section of the "Financial Review" included on
pages 53 through 55 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, and is incorporated
herein by reference.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
OVERVIEW
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous governmental
regulations, some of which are highlighted below and in "Note 3 Regulatory
Matters" of the "Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements" included on pages
82 and 83 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Applicable laws and regulations restrict permissible activities and
investments and require compliance with protections for loan, deposit,
brokerage, fiduciary, mutual fund and other customers, among other things. They
also restrict the Corporation's ability to repurchase stock or to receive
dividends from its bank subsidiaries and impose capital adequacy requirements.
The consequences of noncompliance can include substantial monetary and
nonmonetary sanctions.
In addition, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to comprehensive
examination and supervision by, among other regulatory bodies, the Federal
Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). 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. This supervisory
framework could materially impact the conduct, growth and profitability of the
Corporation's operations.
The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are also subject to regulation
by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by virtue of the Corporation's
status as a public company and due to the nature of certain of its businesses.
There are numerous rules governing the regulation of financial services
institutions and their holding companies. Accordingly, the following discussion
is general in nature and does not purport to be complete or to describe all of
the laws and regulations that apply to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
The discussion below begins by presenting a general description of the principal
regulations affecting the Corporation. It then summarizes key regulatory
developments that took place in 2002, including ongoing adverse
4
consequences. The general regulatory description should be reviewed in light of
these 2002 developments.
GENERAL
As a bank holding company and, as discussed below, a "financial holding
company," the Corporation is subject to supervision and regular inspection by
the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board's prior approval is
required whenever the Corporation proposes to acquire all or substantially all
of the assets of any bank or thrift, to acquire direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or thrift, or to merge
or consolidate with any other bank holding company or thrift holding company.
When reviewing bank acquisition applications for approval, the Federal Reserve
Board considers, among other things, each subsidiary bank's record in meeting
the credit needs of the communities it serves in accordance with the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended ("CRA"). At December 31, 2002, both of the
Corporation's bank subsidiaries, PNC Bank and PNC Bank, Delaware, were rated
"outstanding" with respect to CRA.
The GLB Act, which was enacted on November 12, 1999 and portions of which became
effective on March 11, 2000, permits a qualifying bank holding company to become
a financial holding company and thereby to affiliate with financial companies
engaging in a broader range of activities than had previously been permitted for
a bank holding company. Permitted affiliates include securities underwriters and
dealers, insurance companies and companies engaged in other activities that are
determined by the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury, to be "financial in nature or incidental thereto" or are
determined by the Federal Reserve Board unilaterally to be "complementary" to
financial activities. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial
holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is "well capitalized," is "well
managed," and has at least a "satisfactory" CRA rating. The Corporation became a
financial holding company as of March 13, 2000.
The Federal Reserve Board is the "umbrella" regulator of a financial holding
company. In addition, the financial holding company's operating entities, such
as its subsidiary broker-dealers, investment managers, investment companies,
insurance companies and banks, are also subject to the jurisdiction of various
federal and state "functional" regulators.
The Corporation's subsidiary banks and their subsidiaries are subject to
supervision and examination by applicable federal and state banking agencies,
including the OCC with respect to PNC Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") and the Delaware Office of the State Bank Commissioner with
respect to PNC Bank, Delaware. One aspect of this regulation is that the
Corporation's subsidiary banks are subject to various federal and state
restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to PNC Bancorp, Inc., the parent
of the subsidiary banks, which in turn may affect the ability of PNC Bancorp,
Inc. to pay dividends to the Corporation. These dividends constitute the
principal source of the Corporation's revenue and cash flow at the parent
company level. Without regulatory approval, the amount available for the payment
of dividends by PNC Bank and PNC Bank, Delaware was approximately $460 million
at December 31, 2002. The Corporation's subsidiary banks are also subject to
federal laws limiting extensions of credit to their parent holding company and
nonbank affiliates as discussed in "Note 3 Regulatory Matters" of the "Notes To
Consolidated Financial Statements" included on pages 82 and 83 of the Annual
Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as
a source of financial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit
resources to support each such bank. Consistent with the "source of strength"
policy for subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve Board has stated that, as a
matter of prudent banking, a bank holding company generally should not maintain
a rate of cash dividends unless its net income available to common shareholders
has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and the prospective rate of
earnings retention appears to be consistent with the corporation's capital
needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.
In addition to dividends from PNC Bank and PNC Bank, Delaware, other sources of
parent company liquidity for the Corporation include cash and short-term
investments, as well as dividends and loan repayments from other subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2002, the Corporation had approximately $719 million in funds
available from its cash and short-term investments or other funds available from
unrestricted subsidiaries. The Corporation currently has available funds to pay
dividends at current rates through 2003.
Subsidiary banks are also limited by law and regulation in the scope of
permitted activities and investments. Subsidiary banks and their operating
subsidiaries may engage in any activities that are determined by the OCC to be
part of or incidental to the business of banking. The GLB Act, however, permits
a national bank, such as PNC Bank, to engage in expanded activities through the
formation of a "financial subsidiary." PNC Bank has filed a financial subsidiary
certification with the OCC and may thus engage through a financial subsidiary in
any activity that is financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity
with certain exceptions, including insurance underwriting, insurance
investments, real estate investment or development, and merchant banking.
In order to qualify to establish or acquire a financial subsidiary, PNC Bank and
each of its depository institution affiliates must be "well capitalized" and
"well managed" and may not have a less than "satisfactory" CRA rating. In
addition, the total assets of all financial subsidiaries of a national bank may
not exceed the lesser of $50 billion or 45% of the parent bank's total assets. A
national bank that is one of the largest 50 insured banks in the United States,
such as PNC
5
Bank, must also have issued debt with certain minimum ratings. In addition to
calculating its risk-based capital information from its consolidated financial
statements, a national bank with one or more financial subsidiaries must also be
"well capitalized" after excluding from its assets and equity all equity
investments, including retained earnings, in a financial subsidiary, and the
assets of the financial subsidiary from the bank's consolidated assets. Any
published financial statement for a national bank with a financial subsidiary
must provide risk-based capital information under both methods described above.
The bank must also have policies and procedures to assess financial subsidiary
risk and protect the bank from such risks and potential liabilities.
As a regulated financial services firm, the Corporation's relationships and good
standing with its regulators are of fundamental importance to the continuation
and growth of the Corporation's businesses. The Federal Reserve Board, OCC, SEC,
and other domestic and foreign regulators have broad enforcement powers, and
powers to approve, deny, or refuse to act upon applications or notices of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries to conduct new activities, acquire or divest
businesses or assets, or reconfigure existing operations. In addition, the
Corporation and its bank subsidiaries are subject to examination by various
regulators, which results in examination reports and ratings (which are not
publicly available) that can impact the conduct and growth of the Corporation's
businesses. These examinations consider not only compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, but also capital levels, asset quality and risk, management
ability and performance, earnings, liabilities, and various other factors. An
examination downgrade by any of the Corporation's federal bank regulators
potentially can result in the imposition of significant limitations on the
activities and growth of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
For example, as subsidiaries of a financial holding company under the GLB Act,
the nonbank subsidiaries of the Corporation are allowed to conduct new financial
activities or acquire nonbank financial companies with after-the-fact notice to
the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Corporation's nonbank subsidiaries
(and financial subsidiaries of the Corporation's subsidiary banks) are now
permitted to engage in certain activities that were not permitted for banks and
bank holding companies prior to enactment of the GLB Act, and to engage in
certain activities that previously were permitted, all on less restrictive
terms. Among other activities, the Corporation currently relies on its status as
a financial holding company to conduct mutual fund distribution activities,
merchant banking activities, and underwriting and dealing activities.
To continue to qualify for financial holding company status, the Corporation's
subsidiary banks must maintain "well capitalized" capital ratios, examination
ratings of "1" or "2" (on a scale of 1 to 5), and certain other criteria that
are incorporated into the definition of "well managed" under the Bank Holding
Company Act and Federal Reserve Board rules. If the Corporation were no longer
to qualify for this status, it could not continue to enjoy the after-the-fact
notice process for new nonbanking activities and nonbanking acquisitions, and
would be required promptly to enter into an agreement with the Federal Reserve
Board providing a plan for the Corporation's subsidiary bank(s) to meet the
"well capitalized" and "well managed" criteria. The Federal Reserve Board would
have broad authority to limit the activities of the Corporation. Failure to
satisfy the criteria within a six-month period could result in a requirement
that the Corporation conform its existing nonbanking activities to activities
that were permissible prior to the enactment of the GLB Act. If a subsidiary
bank of the Corporation failed to maintain a "satisfactory" or better rating
under the CRA, the Corporation could not commence new activities or make new
investments in reliance on the GLB Act.
In addition, if the Corporation's subsidiary banks were no longer "well
capitalized" and "well managed" within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company
Act and Federal Reserve Board rules (which take into consideration capital
ratios, examination ratings and other factors), the expedited processing of
certain types of Federal Reserve Board applications would not be available to
the Corporation. Moreover, examination ratings of "3" or lower, lower capital
ratios than peer group institutions, regulatory concerns regarding management,
controls, assets, operations or other factors, can all potentially result in
practical limitations on the ability of a bank or bank holding company to engage
in new activities, grow, acquire new businesses, repurchase its stock or pay
dividends, or continue to conduct existing activities.
Certain subsidiaries of the Corporation's BlackRock, Inc. subsidiary
("BlackRock") have qualified as "financial subsidiaries," as described above, of
PNC Bank. If a subsidiary bank of the Corporation were to fail to meet the "well
capitalized" or "well managed" and related criteria, PNC Bank would be required
to enter into an agreement with the OCC to correct the condition. The OCC would
have the authority to limit the activities of the bank. If the condition were
not corrected within six months or within any additional time granted by the
OCC, PNC Bank could be required to conform the activities of its financial
subsidiaries to activities in which a national bank could engage directly. In
addition, if the bank or any insured depository institution affiliate receives a
less than satisfactory CRA examination rating, PNC Bank would not be permitted
to engage in any new activities or to make new investments in reliance on the
financial subsidiary authority.
The federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective action as
deemed appropriate for an insured depository institution and its holding
company. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institution in
question is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized." Generally, the smaller an institution's capital base in
relation to its total assets, the greater the scope and severity of the
agencies' powers, ultimately permitting the agencies to appoint a receiver for
the
6
institution. Business activities may also be influenced by an institution's
capital classification. For instance, only a "well capitalized" depository
institution may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval and
an "adequately capitalized" depository institution may accept brokered deposits
only with prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2002, both of the
Corporation's subsidiary banks exceeded the required ratios for classification
as "well capitalized." Additional discussion of capital adequacy requirements is
set forth under the caption "Capital" in the "Financial Review" and in "Note 3
Regulatory Matters" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on pages
47 and 48 and pages 82 and 83, respectively, of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, which sections are incorporated herein by reference.
Regulatory matters could also increase the cost of FDIC deposit insurance
premiums to an insured bank. Both of the Corporation's subsidiary banks are
insured by the FDIC and subject to premium assessments. Since 1996, the FDIC has
not assessed banks in the most favorable capital and assessment risk
classification categories for insurance premiums for most deposits, due to the
favorable ratio of the assets in the FDIC's deposit insurance funds to the
aggregate level of insured deposits outstanding. This has resulted in
significant cost savings to all insured banks. Recent costs to the FDIC in
resolving several large bank and savings institution receiverships, however,
have caused this ratio to decline to the point that the FDIC may be required in
the near future to once again begin to assess deposit insurance premiums against
insured banks in the most favorable capital and assessment risk classification
categories. Deposit insurance premiums are assessed as a percentage of the
deposits of the insured institution. If the FDIC assesses premiums for all
deposits, it would impose a significant cost to all insured banks, including the
Corporation's subsidiary banks, reducing the net spread between deposit and
other bank funding costs and the earnings from assets and services of the bank,
and thus the net income of the bank. FDIC deposit insurance premiums are "risk
based", therefore, higher fee percentages would be charged to banks that have
lower capital ratios or higher risk profiles. These risk profiles may take into
account weaknesses that are found by the primary banking regulator through its
examination and supervision of the bank. A negative evaluation by the FDIC or a
bank's primary federal banking regulator, as a result, could increase the costs
to a bank and result in an aggregate cost of deposit funds higher than that of
competing banks in a lower risk category.
The Corporation's subsidiary banks are subject to "cross-guarantee" provisions
under federal law that provide that if one of these banks fails or requires FDIC
assistance, the FDIC may assess a "commonly-controlled" bank for the estimated
losses suffered by the FDIC. Such liability could have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of any assessed bank and the Corporation. While the
FDIC's claim is junior to the claims of depositors, holders of secured
liabilities, general creditors and subordinated creditors, it is superior to the
claims of shareholders and affiliates, such as the Corporation.
The Corporation's subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements imposed by
the Federal Reserve Board and other federal and state agencies. The
Corporation's registered broker-dealer subsidiaries, including one of
BlackRock's subsidiaries, are regulated by the SEC and either by the OCC or the
Federal Reserve Board. They are also subject to rules and regulations
promulgated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"),
among others. Three subsidiaries, including one of BlackRock's subsidiaries, are
registered as commodity pool operators with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC") and the National Futures Association ("NFA"), and are
subject to regulation by them.
Several of the Corporation's subsidiaries, including certain BlackRock
subsidiaries, are registered with the SEC as investment advisers and, therefore,
are subject to the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the
SEC's regulations thereunder. The principal purpose of the regulations
applicable to investment advisers is the protection of clients and the
securities markets, rather than the protection of creditors and stockholders of
investment advisers. The regulations applicable to investment advisers cover all
aspects of the investment advisory business, including limitations on the
ability of investment advisers to charge performance-based or non-refundable
fees to clients, record-keeping, operating, marketing and reporting
requirements, disclosure requirements, limitations on principal transactions
between an adviser or its affiliates and advisory clients, as well as general
anti-fraud prohibitions. The Corporation's investment advisory subsidiaries also
may be subject to certain state securities laws and regulations. In addition,
the Corporation's investment adviser subsidiaries, such as certain BlackRock
subsidiaries, that are investment advisors to registered investment companies
and other managed accounts are subject to the requirements of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the SEC's regulations thereunder.
Additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by the SEC, other federal
and state regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations, or changes
in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules may directly
affect the method of operation and profitability of investment advisers. The
profitability of investment advisers could also be affected by rules and
regulations which impact the business and financial communities in general,
including changes to the laws governing taxation, antitrust regulation and
electronic commerce.
Under various provisions of the federal securities laws (including in particular
those applicable to broker-dealers, investment advisers and registered
investment companies and their service providers), a determination by a court or
regulatory agency that certain violations have occurred at a company or its
affiliates can result in a limitation of permitted activities, disqualification
to continue to conduct certain
7
activities and an inability to rely on certain favorable exemptions. Certain
types of infractions and violations can also affect a public company in its
timing and ability expeditiously to issue new securities into the capital
markets. In addition, expansion of activities of a broker-dealer generally
requires approval of the New York Stock Exchange and/or NASD, and regulators may
take into account a variety of considerations in acting upon such applications,
including internal controls, capital, management experience and quality, and
supervisory concerns.
For additional information about the regulation of BlackRock, see the discussion
under the "Regulation" section of Item 1. Business in BlackRock's most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K, which may be obtained electronically at the SEC's
home page at www.sec.gov.
2002 REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
On July 18, 2002, the SEC, with the Corporation's consent, entered an Order
Instituting Public Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making
Findings and Imposing Cease-and-Desist Order ("Commission Order") in connection
with three 2001 transactions that gave rise to a financial statement restatement
announced by the Corporation on January 29, 2002. In consenting to the entry of
the Commission Order and the SEC's jurisdiction, the Corporation did not admit
or deny the SEC's findings. Collateral consequences from entry of the Commission
Order include the loss of "safe harbor" protection for forward-looking
statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act for three years
from the date of the Commission Order and the potential for restrictions on the
licenses, registrations, and regulatory approvals of the Corporation's
subsidiaries engaged in broker-dealer and other regulated financial businesses
and impacting the status of the Corporation's subsidiaries as government
contractors. The potential restrictions are considered unlikely to be imposed.
On the same date, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a written
agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland ("Federal Reserve") and
that its principal subsidiary, PNC Bank, had entered into a written agreement
with the OCC. These agreements (together, the "Regulatory Agreements") address
such issues as risk, management and financial controls. As a result of entering
into the Regulatory Agreements, the Corporation and PNC Bank were required to
obtain approval of the Federal Reserve and the OCC, respectively, prior to
adding new directors or employing new senior executive officers, and were
prohibited from making "golden parachute payments," as defined in applicable
regulations, without prior regulatory approval. PNC Bank also was subject to
increases in deposit insurance premium assessments and regulatory examination
fees.
The Corporation and PNC Bank were also advised by the Federal Reserve Board and
the OCC, respectively, that the Corporation and PNC Bank no longer satisfied
financial holding company and financial subsidiary requirements for purposes of
the GLB Act. The Corporation and PNC Bank entered into agreements with the
Federal Reserve and the OCC, respectively, that required the Corporation and PNC
Bank to provide a plan for the Corporation's subsidiary bank, PNC Bank, to meet
the "well capitalized" and "well managed" criteria within a 180 day period from
receipt of the notices. During that interim period, the Corporation and PNC Bank
were prohibited from engaging in new activities or making new investments in
reliance on the regulatory procedures and powers pursuant to the GLB Act without
prior approval of the Federal Reserve or the OCC, respectively. The failure to
satisfy the requirements of the agreements could have resulted in the
Corporation's and PNC Bank's loss of powers allowed under the GLB Act.
As of December 19, 2002, the Federal Reserve notified the Corporation, and the
OCC notified PNC Bank, that the Corporation and PNC Bank were in full compliance
with the financial holding company and financial subsidiary requirements,
respectively, for purposes of the GLB Act, reflecting that PNC Bank now met both
the "well capitalized" and "well managed" criteria. This removed the limitations
placed in July 2002 on the Corporation's engaging in new activities or making
new investments and on PNC Bank's financial subsidiary activities. However, the
Regulatory Agreements remain in place, and the Corporation and PNC Bank,
respectively, in certain circumstances must continue to obtain prior approval
from the Federal Reserve or the OCC, respectively, before making acquisitions or
engaging in new activities.
The Federal Reserve and the OCC also notified the Corporation and PNC Bank,
respectively, that, as of December 19, 2002, the Corporation and PNC Bank were
no longer required to obtain approval of the Federal Reserve and the OCC,
respectively, prior to adding new directors or employing new senior executive
officers, and, in general, were not prohibited from making "golden parachute
payments." Also, PNC Bank is no longer subject to increased regulatory
examination fees. In addition, the FDIC has informed PNC Bank that, as of
January 1, 2003, the bank was no longer subject to increases in deposit
insurance premium assessments because it has been returned to the most favorable
assessment risk classification category.
Under applicable regulations, as long as the Corporation remains subject to the
Regulatory Agreement with the Federal Reserve, the Corporation must obtain prior
regulatory approval to repurchase its common stock in amounts that exceed 10
percent of consolidated net worth in any 12-month period. The Corporation has
incurred, and may continue to incur, additional operating costs in connection
with compliance with the Regulatory Agreements including, among others,
incremental staff and continued higher legal and consulting expenses. Further,
the reputational risk created by the Commission Order and the Regulatory
Agreements could still have an impact on such matters as business generation and
retention, the ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and funding.
8
The Corporation believes that it has made substantial progress to date in
enhancing its risk management and governance practices and improving its
regulatory relations, while addressing the various requirements set forth in the
Regulatory Agreements. There can be no assurance, however, as to the precise
timing for determining that all required corrective actions have been taken to
the appropriate satisfaction of the Federal Reserve and the OCC. The Board and
senior management team are committed to the goal of establishing the Corporation
as an industry leader in the areas of governance, corporate conduct, risk
management and regulatory relations, and to meeting all of the Corporation's
commitments to its regulators. While the Corporation believes that substantial
progress has been made in this pursuit to date, the Corporation also recognizes
that this remains an important ongoing effort requiring dedication and a
commitment of resources at all levels of the institution.
COMPETITION The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to intense
competition from various financial institutions and from "nonbank" entities that
engage in similar activities without being subject to bank regulatory
supervision and restrictions. This is particularly true as the Corporation
expands nationally and internationally beyond its primary geographic region,
where expansion requires significant investments to penetrate new markets and
respond to competition, and as the Corporation and other entities expand their
activities pursuant to the GLB Act, as discussed above.
In making loans, the subsidiary banks compete with traditional banking
institutions as well as consumer finance companies, leasing companies and other
nonbank lenders. Loan pricing and credit standards are under competitive
pressure as lenders seek to deploy capital and a broader range of borrowers have
access to capital markets. Traditional deposit activities are subject to pricing
pressures and customer migration as a result of intense competition for consumer
investment dollars. The Corporation's subsidiary banks compete for deposits with
not only other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations
and credit unions, but also insurance companies and issuers of commercial paper
and other securities, including mutual funds. Various nonbank subsidiaries
engaged in investment banking, private equity and venture capital activities
compete with commercial banks, investment banking firms, merchant banks,
insurance companies, venture capital firms and other investment vehicles. In
providing asset management services, the Corporation's subsidiaries compete with
many investment management firms, large banks and other financial institutions,
brokerage firms, mutual fund complexes, and insurance companies.
The ability to access and use technology is an increasingly important
competitive factor in the financial services industry. Technology is not only
important with respect to delivery of financial services, but in processing
information. Each of the Corporation's businesses consistently must make
technological investments to remain competitive.
See "Supervision and Regulation," "Competition," "Disintermediation," "Asset
Management Performance" and "Fund Servicing" within the "Risk Factors" section
of the "Financial Review" included on pages 51 and 52 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.
EMPLOYEES Average full-time equivalent employees totaled approximately 23,900
for full year 2002, and were approximately 23,800 for the month of December
2002.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The several putative class action complaints filed during 2002 in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania were consolidated
in a Consolidated Class Action Complaint filed on October 4, 2002 brought on
behalf of purchasers of the Corporation's common stock between July 19, 2001 and
July 18, 2002. The Consolidated Class Action Complaint names as defendants the
Corporation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the former Chief
Financial Officer, the Controller, and the Corporation's independent auditors
for 2001 and seeks unquantified damages, interest, attorneys' fees and other
expenses. The Consolidated Class Action Complaint alleges violations of federal
securities laws related to disclosures regarding the three 2001 transactions
that gave rise to a financial statement restatement announced by the Corporation
on January 29, 2002, and related matters. The Corporation and all other
defendants have filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit. Management believes
there are substantial defenses to this lawsuit and intends to defend it
vigorously. The impact of the final disposition of this lawsuit cannot be
assessed at this time.
In August 2002, the Department of Labor began a formal investigation of the
Administrative Committee of the Corporation's Incentive Savings Plan ("Plan") in
connection with the Committee's conduct relating to the Corporation's common
stock held by the Plan and the Corporation's restatement of earnings for 2001.
Both the Administrative Committee and the Corporation are cooperating fully with
the investigation. The impact of the final disposition of this investigation
cannot be assessed at this time.
The Corporation received a letter from a shareholder in 2002 demanding that the
Corporation take action against parties allegedly responsible for the events
giving rise to the SEC consent order filed on July 18, 2002 and that it consider
action against directors of the Corporation who approved certain bonus payments.
Management referred this demand to the Board of Directors. The Corporation has
recently been advised that the shareholder does not intend to pursue claims
derivatively on behalf of the Corporation at this time.
In February 2002, Washington Mutual Bank, FA, the buyer of the Corporation's
residential mortgage banking business, filed a lawsuit against the Corporation
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles
alleging various state law claims relating to certain closing date purchase
price adjustments in dispute between the parties and seeking compensatory
damages with respect to certain of the disputed matters, unquantified punitive
damages, and declaratory and other relief. The Corporation filed a motion in the
litigation to compel arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the
purchase agreement and to stay the litigation pending that determination, which
was granted by the Court. On January 9, 2003, the Corporation and the buyer
agreed to a settlement of all issues in dispute between them in connection with
the sale of the Corporation's residential mortgage banking business. The
settlement has been reported in the fourth quarter of 2002 by the Corporation in
discontinued operations, and resulted in a net loss on sale of business, net of
tax, for 2002 of $16 million.
On January 14, 2003, an arbitration panel of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") issued an award against J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L.
Lyons, Inc. ("Hilliard Lyons"), a subsidiary of the Corporation, and certain of
its employees with respect to a claim filed by First of Michigan Corporation
(now Fahnestock & Co., Inc.) arising out of Hilliard Lyons' hiring of brokers
and support staff from First of Michigan Corporation ("First of Michigan") in
late 1997 and spring 1998. The events underlying First of Michigan's claim all
occurred prior to the Corporation's acquisition of Hilliard Lyons in December
1998. The panel awarded First of Michigan $22 million (actual damages of $16
million and prejudgment interest and costs of $6 million), resulting in a fourth
quarter 2002 pretax charge at the Corporation of $10 million, after taking into
account the application of related reserves and accruals.
The Corporation and persons to whom the Corporation may have indemnification
obligations, in the normal course of business, are subject to various other
pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages
and other relief are asserted. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate
aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such other legal proceedings will
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position, although
at the present time, management is not in a position to determine whether any
pending or threatened legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on
the Corporation's results of operations in any future reporting period.
ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is
traded under the symbol "PNC." At the close of business on February 28, 2003,
there were 51,754 common shareholders of record.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. The Board of
Directors may not pay or set apart dividends on the common stock until dividends
for all past dividend periods on any series of outstanding preferred stock have
been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Board presently intends to
continue the policy of paying quarterly cash dividends. However, the amount of
any future dividends will depend on earnings, the financial condition of the
Corporation and other factors, including contractual restrictions and applicable
government regulations and policies (such as those relating to the ability of
bank and nonbank subsidiaries to pay dividends to the parent company).
Management expects that the parent company will have sufficient liquidity
available to pay dividends at current rates through 2003.
The Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit the Corporation from paying
dividends without its approval. Further discussion concerning dividend
restrictions and restrictions on loans or advances from bank subsidiaries to the
parent company is set forth under the caption "Supervision and Regulation" in

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.
