FINANCIAL
REVIEW 1997 VERSUS 1996
This Financial Review should be read in conjunction with PNC Bank Corp. and
subsidiaries' ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank") Consolidated Financial Statements
and Statistical Information included herein.
OVERVIEW
PNC BANK CORP. The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial
services companies in the United States and operates seven lines of business:
National Consumer Banking, Regional Community Banking, Private Banking, Secured
Lending, Asset Management and Servicing, Corporate Banking and Mortgage Banking.
Financial products and services are customized for specific customer segments
and offered nationally and in PNC Bank's primary geographic markets in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts and
Florida.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS Net income for 1997 was $1.052 billion or $3.28 per
diluted share compared with $992 million and $2.88, respectively, a year ago.
Returns on average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 20.01%
and 1.49% compared with 17.18% and 1.40%, respectively, in 1996. Results for
1996 include a $22 million after-tax charge to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Excluding the SAIF assessment, earnings for
1996 totaled $1.015 billion or $2.94 per diluted share. On this basis, returns
on average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 17.58% and 1.43%,
respectively.
Earnings are impacted by noncash expenses associated with purchase
acquisitions. Excluding the impact of goodwill and other amortization related to
purchase transactions, diluted earnings per share for 1997 and 1996 were $3.51
and $3.04, respectively.
Total revenue for 1997 increased 11.8% compared with the same period in 1996
primarily due to noninterest income growth. Noninterest income increased to
$1.808 billion for 1997, a 29.6% increase over 1996 reflecting significant
growth in nearly all categories of noninterest revenue. Noninterest income
represented 42% of total revenue compared with 36% in 1996. Taxable-equivalent
net interest income increased $45 million for 1997 and the net interest margin
widened 11 basis points to 3.94% compared with 3.83% in the prior year. These
increases resulted from a higher-yielding earning asset mix which offset the
impact of spread compression, change in deposit mix and lower average deposit
levels.
The provision for credit losses was $70 million for 1997. No provision was
recorded in the prior year.
Operating expenses increased $303 million to $2.615 billion largely due to
$187 million of incremental costs associated with AAA Financial Services and
credit card-related initiatives. The efficiency ratio, computed excluding
distributions on capital securities from expense, was 59.4% for 1997 compared
with 59.6% a year ago.
Total assets were $75.1 billion at December 31, 1997 compared to $73.3
billion at December 31, 1996. Average earning assets declined $708 million in
the year-to-year comparison to $64.0 billion as loan growth was more than offset
by securities portfolio reductions. Average loans grew 7.7% to $52.9 billion, a
$3.8 billion increase from the prior year. Loans represented 82.6% of average
earning assets compared with 75.9% a year ago. Growth in credit cards,
residential mortgages and middle market commercial loans more than offset
downsizing of the indirect automobile lending portfolio and the impact of loan
securitizations. Average securities declined $4.8 billion to $8.8 billion or
13.7% of average earning assets. Asset quality and coverage ratios remained
strong. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed assets was
.61% at December 31, 1997 compared with .88% at December 31, 1996. The allowance
for credit losses was 352% of nonperforming loans and 1.79% of total loans at
December 31, 1997 compared to 334% and 2.25%, respectively, a year ago. Net
charge-offs were .51% of average loans in 1997 compared with .33% in 1996. The
increase in net charge-offs was primarily associated with higher credit card
outstandings. Shareholders' equity totaled $5.4 billion at December 31, 1997.
The leverage ratio was 7.30% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were
7.43% and 11.11%, respectively. As part of the Corporation's capital management
initiatives, 29.3 million shares of common stock were repurchased during 1997.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES Financial services providers today are challenged by intense
competition, changing customer demands, increased pricing pressures and the
ongoing impact of deregulation. Traditional loan and deposit activities face
particularly challenging competitive pressures as both banks and nonbanks
compete for customers with access to a broad array of banking, investment and
capital markets products. Many of these traditional businesses have moderate
growth expectations and require significant capital to support balance sheet
leverage that entails credit and interest rate risk.
PNC BANK CORP.

PNC Bank has responded to these challenges by transitioning to an
organization comprised of autonomous lines of business with highly focused
customer segments. This approach provides the basis for developing
differentiated businesses capable of competing in today's environment where
banks and other financial service providers seek the same customers.
The Corporation has focused on altering the business mix and investing in
specialized financial services businesses including asset management, mutual
fund servicing, private banking, treasury management and capital markets. These
businesses are largely fee-based, less capital intensive and have superior
growth outlooks on a national scale. More meaningful contributions from these
businesses, coupled with disciplined management of traditional banking
activities, expansion of national distribution capabilities and reduction of our
wholesale leverage activities have allowed PNC Bank to significantly improve the
composition of the earnings stream.
NATIONAL CONSUMER BANKING offers a full range of consumer products and
services through technologically advanced cost efficient channels. National
Consumer Banking's focus is on delivering convenient value-added financial
services nationally by expanding direct marketing and through establishing
affinity relationships such as those with AAA and mall owners nationwide.
REGIONAL COMMUNITY BANKING offers a full range of products and services to
small business and retail customers within PNC Bank's geographic footprint.
Regional Community Banking's focus is on employing information and customer
knowledge to identify and meet consumer preferences for traditional and
automated products and services through retail branches and automated
distribution channels.
PRIVATE BANKING offers personalized investment management, brokerage,
personal trust, estate planning and traditional banking services to the
affluent. Services are provided by teams of highly qualified specialists working
together to provide trusted advice and creative financial solutions.
SECURED LENDING is engaged in commercial real estate banking, business credit
and equipment leasing activities.
Real estate banking provides comprehensive credit and noncredit services to a
broad base of clients including commercial and residential developers,
investors, mortgage bankers and property management companies. On January 28,
1998, PNC Bank announced a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Midland
Loan Services, L.P. ("Midland"), one of the largest commercial loan servicers in
the nation.
Business credit offers asset-based lending, syndication and treasury
management services within the PNC Bank primary geographic markets and
nationally. Leasing provides equipment lease financing for a wide range of
customers and is focused on growth from the existing PNC Bank corporate customer
base and national markets. ASSET MANAGEMENT AND SERVICING includes the BlackRock
organization which offers a full range of fixed income, domestic and
international equity and liquidity products; PFPC Inc., the Corporation's mutual
fund servicing business; HAWTHORN, a PNC Company, which serves the
ultra-affluent market, and PNC Bank's institutional trust business. BlackRock
represents the recent integration of PNC Bank's investment advisory and asset
management capabilities under a single organization and brand. This integration
provides the opportunity to grow into one of the largest asset managers in the
country, leveraging the BlackRock Financial Management reputation as an
established world-class fixed income manager. BlackRock's initiatives focus on
expanding marketing and delivery channels for a full range of institutional and
retail investment products. PFPC Inc., the Corporation's mutual fund servicing
business, specializes in providing institutional money managers, brokerage
firms, pension managers and insurance companies with custom designed products
including accounting and administration, transfer agent and custody services.
PFPC is the second largest mutual fund accounting agent and the third largest
full-service transfer agent in the United States and is focused on domestic and
international expansion. CORPORATE BANKING provides a full range of credit,
capital markets and treasury management products and services to large and
mid-size businesses, institutions and government entities. Client relationship
teams possessing specific expertise focus on the individual customer needs to
provide customized service. Teams of specialists also focus on specific industry
segments, including communications, dealer finance, health care and public
finance, large corporate, financial institutions, energy, metals and mining and
emerging growth. MORTGAGE BANKING is focused on efficiently delivering high
quality mortgage originations and servicing, and expanding nonmortgage product

and insurance products.

FINANCIAL
REVIEW 1997 VERSUS 1996
LINE OF BUSINESS REVIEW
Financial results for PNC Bank's lines of business are derived from the
Corporation's management accounting system. Line of business information is
based on management accounting practices which conform to and support PNC Bank's
current management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar
information for any other financial services institution.
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income
statement allocations and transfers to measure business unit performance.
Allocations and transfers change from time to time as the management accounting
system is enhanced and business or product lines change. There is no
comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting
equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial results presented herein reflect each line of business as if
operated on a stand-alone basis. Securities or borrowings and related interest
rate spreads have been assigned to the lines of business based on their net
asset or liability position.
Capital is assigned to each business unit based on management's assessment
of inherent risks and equity levels at independent companies providing similar
products and services. Capital assignments are not equivalent to regulatory
capital guidelines and the total capital assigned will differ from consolidated
shareholders' equity.
Total line of business financial results differ from consolidated financial
results primarily due to eliminations, different provision for credit loss
methodologies and corporate and other unassigned items. Eliminations offset
transactions between the lines of business which primarily relate to assigned
securities or borrowings. Corporate administration and other unassigned include
net securities gains, certain holding company expenses and other items not
allocated in the management accounting process.

National Consumer Banking is strategically positioned to capitalize on consumer
acceptance of mass marketed financial services and electronic delivery.
Management's objective is to improve longer-term returns on assigned capital by
emphasizing revenue growth in higher yielding products such as credit cards and
education loans and mass marketing a full range of products and services through
the most technologically advanced cost efficient channels. Credit card,
automobile, student, home equity and residential mortgage loans, as well as
deposit accounts and money market mutual funds will be marketed in conjunction
with AAA and other national initiatives.
The Corporation's exclusive marketing agreement with AAA, entered in 1996,
marked the first major step in building a national consumer business. Continuing
to build national scale during 1997, the Mall V.I.P.SM Visa(R) card was
introduced in conjunction with top mall owners in the country. These alliances
provide unique opportunities to access customers nationwide. The education
lending business has grown through innovative affinity relationships with groups
such as the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities.
National Consumer Banking has also focused on expansion of electronic delivery
employing debit cards, offsite ATMs and online banking. Through affinity
relationships and technology, PNC Bank delivers products in locations across the
country providing convenient customer access.
Significant start-up investments in long-term initiatives produced positive
momentum during 1997. Total revenue grew 71% and noninterest income increased to
41% of total revenue compared with 31% in 1996. Noninterest income grew 123% or
$146 million principally due to loan securitization income, increased credit
card fees and higher electronic banking income.
Net interest income increased 48% or $124 million over 1996 driven by higher
loan outstandings and a change in loan portfolio mix. Average loans increased
22% as growth in wider spread credit card loans exceeded declines in lower
yielding indirect auto loans and education loans. Credit card loans increased
$2.4 billion due to AAA and other marketing initiatives. Indirect auto loans
declined consistent with the strategic decision to reduce loans with
unattractive returns. Education loans declined as a result of $1 billion of
student loan securitizations.
National Consumer Banking accounted for 3% of line of business earnings in
1997 compared with 6% in 1996. Earnings declined $29 million or 54% due to costs
associated with national business expansion. Noninterest expense increased $182
million largely driven by higher marketing and credit card processing costs,
acquired portfolio premium amortization and interchange fees. In addition to the
impact on earnings from marketing and other expansion costs, net interest income
is adversely affected until credit card rate incentives offered during
introductory periods expire and yields earned are reset to market rates. The AAA
initiative reduced earnings by $57 million in 1997.
The provision for credit losses increased $135 million and was directly
related to a larger proportion of credit card loans which have inherently higher
charge-offs.

Regional Community Banking is focused on efficiently employing the traditional
branch delivery system while expanding less capital intensive, technologically
advanced alternative delivery systems. Many Community Banking customers still
prefer more traditional delivery channels but increasingly demand convenience
and choice among products and services. To address this transition, the Regional
Community Bank was reorganized along specific customer segments.
Consumers' demands for convenient high value products and services coupled
with intense competitive pressures continue to shrink net interest spreads.
Consumers are migrating from traditional deposit accounts toward higher return
products such as money market accounts. In addition, niche competitors exert
pricing pressure. As consumer preferences change, the challenge is to offer the
proper products and maintain the appropriate balance of resources between the
traditional branch structure and technologically advanced delivery channels.
Regional Community Banking earned $416 million accounting for 40% of line of
business earnings in 1997 compared with 45% a year ago. Earnings declined $9
million primarily due to a $39 million or 3% reduction in net interest income
attributable to a modest decline in deposit levels and customer migration to
higher cost money market deposit products. Noninterest income was essentially
flat as a 9% increase in deposit service fees offset the impact of branch
consolidation.
Noninterest expense declined $30 million due to expense reduction associated
with consolidating branch locations and the transfer of activity from
traditional branches to alternative delivery channels. The increase in the
provision for credit losses was due to higher outstandings.

Private Banking offers investment management, full service brokerage, financial
planning and traditional trust and banking services. Private Banking's objective
is to be the financial "advisor of choice" in the growing affluent market,
providing a full range of high quality customized predominantly fee-based
investment products and services.
Private Banking earned $89 million in 1997 accounting for 9% of total line of
business earnings and representing a 25% increase over 1996.
Total revenue grew $46 million reflecting double digit growth in noninterest
and net interest income. Noninterest income increased $30 million in 1997 due to
increased investment management, trust, and brokerage assets under
administration driven by new business and market value appreciation. Assets
under administration increased $9 billion to $59 billion at December 31, 1997.
Net interest income increased due to loan and deposit growth.
Noninterest expense increased due to the addition of sales and service
personnel, higher incentive compensation commensurate with revenue growth and
infrastructure development and technology investment costs.

Secured Lending includes PNC Bank's activities in commercial real estate,
business credit and equipment leasing. Secured Lending's objective is to
establish a significant national presence in each of these businesses providing
product and advisory services focused on expanding fee-based revenues.
Real estate banking is a relationship-driven, full service provider of
financial products including capital markets financing and operational services.
Real estate banking serves regional and national customers including commercial
and residential developers, investors, mortgage bankers and property management
companies. PNC Bank's real estate experience extends across all major property
types throughout the U.S.
Targeted strategic growth areas include commercial mortgage origination,
securitization and servicing, loan syndications, private debt placements and
treasury management. Consistent with this strategy, on January 28, 1998, PNC
Bank announced a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Midland, one of
the largest commercial real estate loan servicers in the nation. Midland is a
technology-based firm specializing in the origination, securitization and
servicing of commercial real estate assets.
This transaction provides important competitive advantages for PNC Bank as
more real estate customers demand sophisticated, technology-driven services and
increased access to capital markets. The Corporation anticipates this
transaction will close in the second quarter of 1998.
Business credit provides asset-based lending, syndication and treasury
management services. In 1997 several commercial finance groups were combined to
provide the platform to streamline operations and pursue national expansion
opportunities.
Leasing provides equipment lease financing to a wide range of businesses,
industries and institutions and also provides product support for PNC Bank's
capital markets activities.
Secured Lending contributed 13% of total line of business earnings in 1997
compared with 10% in 1996. Earnings increased $39 million or 41% in the
comparison as a result of higher revenue and continued improvement in credit
quality.
Consistent with Secured Lending's objectives, noninterest income increased
79% in 1997 and represented 21% of total revenue compared to 14% in 1996.
Noninterest income grew $23 million in 1997 primarily due to capital markets
distribution activities and treasury management fees.
Noninterest expense increased $20 million in 1997 primarily due to
increased personnel and delivery costs associated with expanding capital markets
capabilities.

Asset Management earnings increased $20 million or 67% over the prior year
led by strong revenue growth. Revenue increased $69 million or 34% due to new
business and market appreciation while operating expenses increased $36 million
or 23%.
PFPC Inc., the Corporation's mutual fund servicing operation, specializes in
providing mutual fund complexes with tailored services including accounting and
administration, transfer agent and custody services.
PFPC Inc. had double digit growth in assets and accounts serviced during 1997
leading to 15% revenue growth. Operating expenses increased $15 million due to
higher compensation expense commensurate with revenue growth and increased
investments in technology and facilities associated with business expansion.

investment performance or improving financial markets. Conversely, declining
performance or deteriorating financial markets may have an adverse effect on
revenue.

Corporate Banking provides specialized credit, capital markets and treasury
management products and services and includes PNC Bank's equity management
business which makes venture capital investments.
The ongoing pressure on leverage related products has led to significantly
more emphasis on altering the revenue composition through growth of noncredit
revenue such as treasury management and capital markets. The strategic focus for
Corporate Banking is on developing and delivering a comprehensive range of
higher margin fee-based products and services.
Corporate Banking contributed $229 million or 22% of total 1997 line of
business earnings representing an $11 million or 5% increase over 1996 earnings.
Total revenue increased 10% or $64 million to $737 million reflecting
noninterest income growth of 25%. Noninterest income represented 39% of 1997
revenue compared to 34% in 1996.
Net interest income increased $6 million or 1% to $450 million in 1997 as the
impact of higher loan volumes exceeded the impact of lower net interest spreads
resulting from continued competitive pricing pressure. Average loans increased
$714 million or 5% over the prior year with the most significant increase
occurring in the middle market portfolios.
Noninterest income was $287 million for 1997, a $58 million increase over the
prior year primarily due to a $27 million increase in venture capital income and
a $22 million increase

in capital markets fees. Noninterest income for 1997 includes capital markets
fees of $71 million, venture capital revenue of $98 million and treasury
management fees and other income of $118 million. Treasury management revenue
does not reflect the total compensation for these services due to the acceptance
of compensating balances in lieu of cash payments.
Noninterest expense in 1997 was $363 million, a $24 million or 7% increase
over 1996. This increase reflects a 6% increase in full-time equivalent
personnel and increased incentive compensation, primarily related to increased
noncredit revenue.

Mortgage Banking activities include origination, securitization and servicing of
residential mortgages, as well as retention of selected loans in the portfolio.
Mortgage Banking contributed 5% of total line of business earnings in 1997
compared with 3% in 1996. Earnings increased $25 million to $54 million for 1997
primarily due to higher origination and securitization activity. Net interest
income increased $18 million or 15% in 1997 as a result of higher loan portfolio
volume offsetting lower spreads.
Noninterest expense increased $40 million in 1997 reflecting a $15 million
increase in volume-related expenses and a $25 million increase in mortgage
servicing rights ("MSR") amortization expense.
MSR value and amortization are affected by changes in interest rates. If
interest rates decline and the rate of prepayment increases, the underlying
servicing fees and related MSR value would also decline. In a period of rising
interest rates, a converse relationship would exist. The Corporation seeks to
manage this risk by using financial instruments whose values move in the
opposite direction of MSR value changes.
Mortgage Banking's results include servicing revenue and the impact from
securities and interest rate floors used to hedge the value of MSR in
noninterest income, while MSR amortization is reflected in noninterest expense.
The following table reflects the components of net mortgage banking revenue.

and 64%, respectively, in 1996. At December 31, 1997, the mortgage servicing
portfolio totaled $40.7 billion, including $31.7 billion of loans serviced for
others, had a weighted-average coupon of 7.94% and an estimated fair value of
$474 million. Capitalized MSR totaled $377 million at December 31, 1997 compared

$45 million increase over 1996. The net interest margin widened 11 basis points
to 3.94% compared with 3.83% in the prior year. These increases resulted from a
higher-yielding earning asset mix which offset the impact of spread compression,
change in deposit mix and lower average deposit levels. Average securities
declined $4.8 billion to $8.8 billion for 1997 while average loans increased
$3.8 billion to $52.9 billion.

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 related yields
earned can have a significant impact on net interest income and margin.
In 1997, average loans comprised 82.6% of average earning assets compared to
75.9% for 1996. A higher percentage of loans in the earning asset base coupled
with growth in higher yielding asset categories, predominantly credit card,
contributed positively to net interest income and margin. These positive impacts
were partially offset by declining spreads primarily attributable to competitive
pressures on certain loan and deposit products. Funding cost is affected by the
composition of and rates paid on various funding sources. Average deposits
comprised 63.0% and 63.7% of PNC Bank's total sources of funding for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, with the remainder primarily
comprised of wholesale funding obtained at prevailing market rates.
Management anticipates modest balance sheet growth and continuation of the
challenging competitive environment through 1998.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The provision for credit losses was $70 million in
1997. No provision was recorded in the prior year. PNC Bank's loan portfolio is
comprised of an increasingly larger proportion of consumer loans, primarily
credit cards, which have inherently higher charge-offs. Accordingly, management
anticipates the Corporation will continue to record higher provisions for credit
losses in 1998.

Noninterest income before net securities gains totaled $1.759 billion in 1997, a
$386 million or 28.1% increase compared with 1996. Net securities gains were $49
million in 1997 including $17 million associated with mortgage banking
activities.
Strong asset management and service fee growth reflects the strategic
emphasis on expanding fee-based revenue. Asset management benefited from new
business and market appreciation. Service fees exhibited strong growth in nearly
all categories. Deposit fees increased $28 million due to a revised fee
structure implemented during 1996 and higher treasury management revenue. Credit
card and merchant services fees increased $63 million, reflecting credit card
portfolio growth largely due to acquisitions to build scale in National Consumer
Banking and the July 1996 termination of a third party alliance.
Mortgage banking revenue grew primarily due to higher income from origination
and securitization activities exceeding an $8 million decline in gains from the
sale of servicing. Mortgage originations were $6.1 billion in 1997 compared with
$5.6 billion in 1996.
Other noninterest income increased in the comparison primarily due to a $27
million increase in venture capital income and asset securitization income of
$55 million.

Noninterest expense increased $303 million to $2.615 billion in 1997 primarily
due to $187 million of incremental costs associated with AAA and credit
card-related national consumer initiatives. Higher incentive compensation
commensurate with revenue growth and the cost of trust preferred capital
securities also contributed to the increase. Excluding AAA and credit
card-related national consumer initiatives and the cost of trust preferred
capital securities, noninterest expense increased $74 million or 3%. Average
full-time equivalent employees totaled 24,639 in 1997 compared with 25,020 in
1996. The efficiency ratio was 59.4% compared with 59.6% a year ago.
YEAR 2000 The Corporation has been working to prepare its computer systems and
applications for the year 2000. This process involves reviewing, modifying and
replacing existing hardware and software as necessary and communicating with
external service providers and customers to assure they are addressing their
year 2000 issues. The Corporation is also assessing the potential for systems of
third parties such as vendors, customers, governmental entities and others to
impact the Corporation's business operations.
Given the Corporation's common technology infrastructure, management
estimates the review and modification of its computer systems and applications
will be substantially completed by December 31, 1998. The expected total cost to
become year 2000 compliant is approximately $30 million which is being expensed
as incurred. Failure of the Corporation or third parties to correct year 2000
issues could cause disruption of operations resulting in increased operating
costs. In addition, to the extent customers' financial positions are weakened as
a result of year 2000 issues, credit quality could be affected.

geographically diversified among numerous industries and types of businesses and
reflects growth in the Corporation's core businesses, national consumer
initiatives and the impact of acquisitions. As the Corporation's businesses
evolve, the loan portfolio is expected to remain diversified. The credit card
portfolio increased 38.0% due to AAA and other marketing initiatives. Growth in
residential mortgages and commercial loans was partially offset by reductions in
indirect automobile lending and $1.0 billion of student loan securitizations.
Management anticipates modest loan portfolio growth in 1998.

Unfunded credit card commitments increased $2.9 billion to $16.4 billion.
Commercial 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.

Securities available for sale may be sold as part of the overall asset/liability
management process. Realized gains and losses are reflected in the results of
operations and include gains or losses on associated financial derivatives.
During 1997, $10.2 billion of securities were sold at a $49 million net gain.
The securities portfolio includes collateralized mortgage obligations and
other mortgage-backed securities. These securities are marketable and generally
guaranteed, primarily by U.S. government agencies. Expected lives of such
securities can vary as interest rates change. In a rising interest rate
environment, prepayments on the underlying mortgage securities may slow and
lengthen the expected lives. Conversely, expected lives would shorten in a
declining interest rate environment. The Corporation monitors the impact of this
risk through the use of an income simulation model as part of the
asset/liability management process.
The notional value of financial derivatives designated to securities
available for sale was $5.5 billion at December 31, 1996. The net fair value of
such financial derivatives, which is reflected in the preceding table, was less
than $1 million. These contracts matured during 1997 and no financial
derivatives were designated to securities available for sale at December 31,
1997.
FUNDING SOURCES Deposits increased 4.3% to $47.6 billion at December 31, 1997
compared with $45.7 billion at year-end 1996 while borrowed funds remained
relatively unchanged. Deposits increased primarily due to an increase in
short-term foreign deposits. During 1997, the Corporation diversified its
funding base by initiating a $2.5 billion Euro medium-term bank note program.
The Corporation issued approximately $514 million of bank notes under this
program.

CAPITAL The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, deposit insurance costs, ability to pay dividends 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, 10% for total risk-based and 5% for
leverage.
At December 31, 1997, the Corporation and each bank subsidiary met the well
capitalized capital ratio requirements.

The capital position is managed through balance sheet size and composition,
issuance of debt and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend
policies and retention of earnings.
In May 1997, the Corporation issued $300 million of 8.315% mandatorily
redeemable capital securities which qualify as Tier I capital. In July 1997, the
Corporation issued $350 million of 6 7/8% subordinated notes that qualify as
Tier II capital.
In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Corporation issued $300 million of
nonconvertible preferred stock and $350 million of 7.95% mandatorily redeemable
capital securities. These issuances qualify as Tier I capital.
During 1997, PNC Bank repurchased 29.3 million shares of common stock. In
April 1997, the Corporation's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 15 million shares of common stock through March 31, 1998. At December 31,
1997 approximately 3.6 million shares remain under this authorization.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes various types of risk,
the most significant of which are credit, liquidity and interest rate risk.
Market risk is also inherent in the Corporation's business operations. Market
risk is the risk of loss associated with adverse changes in the fair value of
financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
equity prices. To manage these risks, PNC Bank has risk management processes
designed to provide for risk identification, measurement, monitoring and
control.
CREDIT RISK Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer or
counterparty 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 off-balance-sheet
financial derivative transactions. The Corporation seeks to manage credit risk
through diversification, limiting exposure to any single industry or customer
and requiring collateral or selling participations to third parties.
The Corporation, through its credit management process, manages and monitors
credit risk by establishing uniform credit policies and exercising centralized
oversight, review and approval procedures. Credit Policy, at the direction of
the board of directors, establishes underwriting standards that set forth the
criteria used in extending credit.
To support consistent application of underwriting standards, credit officers
work with lending officers in evaluating the creditworthiness of borrowers and
structuring transactions. Credit decisions are made at the line of business or
market level. However, credit requests above certain limits or that involve
exceptions to certain policies require additional corporate approvals.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES In determining the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses, the Corporation makes allocations to specific problem loans based
on discounted cash flow analyses or collateral valuations for impaired loans and
to pools of watchlist and nonwatchlist loans for various credit risk factors.
Allocations to loan pools are developed by risk rating and industry
classifications and based on management's judgment concerning historical loss
trends and other relevant factors. These factors may include, among others,
local, regional and national economic conditions, portfolio concentrations,
industry competition and consolidation and the impact of government regulation.
Consumer and residential mortgage loan allocations are based on historical loss
experience adjusted for portfolio activity and current economic conditions.

FINANCIAL
REVIEW 1997 VERSUS 1996
LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity represents an institution's ability to generate cash
or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to
borrowers and demands of depositors and debtholders and to invest in strategic
initiatives. Liquidity risk represents the possibility the Corporation would be
unable to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy
such obligations or investments in strategic initiatives. Liquidity risk is
managed through the coordination of the expected maturities of assets,
liabilities and off-balance-sheet positions and is enhanced by the ability to
raise funds in capital markets through direct borrowing or asset
securitizations. The ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends,
among other factors, on credit ratings, market conditions, capital
considerations and investor demand.
Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, short-term investments,
loans held for sale and securities available for sale. At December 31, 1997,
such assets totaled $16.7 billion, with $4.5 billion pledged as collateral for
borrowing, trust and other commitments. Liquidity is also provided by
residential mortgages which may be used as collateral for funds obtained through
the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. At December 31, 1997, approximately
$5.9 billion of residential mortgages were available as collateral for
borrowings from the FHLB.
During 1997, cash and due from banks increased $287 million to $4.3 billion
compared with an increase of $337 million in 1996. Net cash used by operating
activities totaled $41 million in 1997 compared with $210 million provided a
year earlier. The funding of loan originations resulted in a $48 million use of
cash by investing activities in 1997. Investing activities provided cash of $1.6
billion in 1996. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $376 million
compared with $1.4 billion used a year earlier.
The principal source of parent company revenue and cash flow is dividends
from subsidiary banks. PNC Bancorp, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
parent company and is the holding company for all bank subsidiaries. There are
legal limitations on the ability of bank subsidiaries to pay dividends and make
other distributions to PNC Bancorp, Inc. and in turn the parent company. Without
regulatory approval, the amount available for dividend payments to PNC Bancorp,
Inc. by all bank subsidiaries was $237 million at December 31, 1997. Dividends
may also be impacted by capital needs, regulatory requirements, corporate
policies, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Liquidity for the parent company and subsidiaries is also generated through
the issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit. In
July 1997, PNC Bank issued $350 million of subordinated notes. The Corporation
also has unused capacity under effective shelf registration statements of
approximately $1.4 billion of debt and equity securities. In addition, the
Corporation had a $500 million unused line of credit.
Management believes the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to meet current
obligations to borrowers, depositors, debtholders and others. The impact of
replacing maturing liabilities is reflected in the income simulation model used
in the overall asset/liability management process.
INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk arises primarily through the
Corporation's core business activities of extending loans and taking deposits.
Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in market
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 achieve these objectives, the Corporation uses
securities purchases and sales, long-term and short-term funding vehicles,
financial derivatives and other capital markets instruments.
Interest rate risk is centrally managed by Asset and Liability ("A&L")
Management. The Corporation actively measures and monitors all components of
interest rate risk including term structure or repricing risk, yield curve or
nonparallel rate shift risk, basis risk and options risk. Senior management's
Corporate Asset & Liability Committee ("ALCO") provides strategic direction to
A&L Management and, in doing so, reviews capital markets activities and interest
rate risk exposures. The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, which
meets quarterly, is responsible for overseeing the Corporation's interest rate
risk management process.
The Corporation measures and manages both the short-term and long-term
effects of changing interest rates. A net interest income simulation model is
used to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest
rates over the next twenty-four month period; and an economic value of equity
model is used to measure the sensitivity of the value of existing on- 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,
line of business plans and published industry experience with input by key line
of business managers. Any significant changes in major assumptions are reviewed
by Corporate ALCO. This review includes an assessment of the motivation for the
change and its effect on the simulated results. 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 timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate
changes, the difference between actual experience and the assumed volume and
characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions, and
changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.
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. Over the course of 1997, the Corporation's interest rate risk exposures
were consistently within policy limits. At December 31, 1997, if interest rates
were to increase by 100 basis points over the next twelve months, net interest
income would decline by 0.8%. If interest rates were to decrease by 100 basis
points over the next twelve months there would be no effect on net interest
income.
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 in
conjunction with the income simulation model and economic value of equity model
to identify inherent risk and develop appropriate strategies.
The Corporation measures the sensitivity of the value of its balance sheet
and off-balance sheet positions to movements in interest rates using an economic
value of equity sensitivity model. The model computes the value of all current
on- and off-balance sheet positions under a range of instantaneous interest rate
changes. The resulting change in the value of equity is the measure of overall
long-term interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation's existing on- and
off-balance sheet positions. The Corporation uses the economic value of equity
model to complement the income simulation modeling process.
Economic value of equity sensitivities are periodically reported to Corporate
ALCO and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on the results
of the economic value of equity model at December 31, 1997, if interest rates
were to increase by 100 basis points, the economic value of existing on- and
off-balance sheet positions would increase by 0.02% of assets. If interest rates
were to decrease by 100 basis points, the economic value of existing on- and
off-balance sheet positions would decline by 0.16% of assets.
MARKET RISK PNC Bank's market risk is predominantly related to interest rate
risk associated with normal loan and deposit taking. Market 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. Exposure is measured as the maximum loss
due to a two standard deviation one day move. The combined year-end
value-at-risk of all trading operations was less than $300 thousand.
Most of PNC Bank's trading activities are designed to provide capital markets
services for Corporate Banking and Private Banking customers. While some market
risk exposure is a necessary outgrowth of providing services to customers, the
performance of PNC Bank's trading operations is predominantly based on providing
value-added services to our customers and not on positioning the Corporation's
portfolio for gains from market movements.

REVIEW 1997 VERSUS 1996
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
A variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives are used as part of the
overall interest rate risk management process to manage interest rate risk
inherent in the Corporation's line of business activities. Interest rate swaps
and purchased interest rate caps and floors are the primary instruments used for
these purposes. Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange fixed and
floating interest rate payments calculated on a notional principal amount. The
floating rate is based on a money market index, primarily short-term LIBOR
indices. 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.
Forward contracts provide for the delivery of financial instruments at a
specified future date and at a specified price or yield. Such contracts are
primarily used to manage risk positions associated with certain mortgage banking
activities.
Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, interest rate and credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet, but less than the
notional amount of the contract. For interest rate swaps, caps and floors, 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.

derivatives used for interest rate risk management and mortgage banking
activities during 1997.

REVIEW 1996 VERSUS 1995
OVERVIEW
Net income for 1996 totaled $992 million or $2.88 per diluted share compared
with $408 million or $1.19, respectively, in 1995. Returns on average common
shareholders' equity and average assets for 1996 were 17.18% and 1.40%,
respectively, compared with 7.05% and 0.54%, respectively, in 1995. The 1996
results include a $22 million after-tax charge to recapitalize the SAIF.
Excluding the SAIF assessment, earnings for 1996 totaled $1.015 billion or $2.94
per diluted share. On this basis, returns on average common shareholders' equity
and average assets were 17.58% and 1.43%, respectively. The 1995 results include
$380 million of after-tax charges recorded in connection with the Midlantic
Corporation ("Midlantic") merger and actions taken to reposition the
Corporation's balance sheet. Excluding these charges, 1995 earnings were $788

NET INTEREST INCOME Taxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $2.479
billion in 1996 compared with $2.189 billion for 1995. The net interest margin
widened to 3.83% in 1996 compared with 3.15% in 1995. These increases were
primarily due to loan growth, the October 1995 Chemical Bank, New Jersey
acquisition and changes in balance sheet composition.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES Favorable economic conditions during 1996 and
1995, combined with management's ongoing attention to asset quality, resulted in
lower nonperforming assets and strong coverage ratios. The Corporation did not
record a provision for credit losses in 1996 compared with a provision of $6
million in 1995.
NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income before securities transactions increased
$133 million to $1.373 billion in 1996. Asset management and trust revenue
increased $77 million or 18.3% due to new business and an increase in the value
of assets under administration.
Service fees increased $71 million in 1996 to $566 million, primarily
reflecting growth in deposit services, treasury management, brokerage and
corporate finance. During 1996, mortgage banking revenue decreased $33 million
to $154 million primarily due to lower servicing sales.
Other noninterest income increased $18 million to $156 million in 1996
primarily due to higher venture capital income.
Net securities gains totaled $22 million in 1996 compared with losses of $280
million in 1995. During 1995, securities were sold and related financial
derivatives were terminated in connection with initiatives to downsize the
securities portfolio and to reduce interest rate sensitivity.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense before special charges increased $103
million or 4.7% in 1996 primarily due to purchase acquisitions consummated
during 1995, incentive compensation and the one-time assessment to recapitalize
the SAIF. Compensation expense increased primarily due to acquisitions and
incentive compensation in fee-based businesses including asset management and
brokerage.
In connection with the Midlantic merger, the Corporation recorded special
charges of $260 million in 1995 for elimination of duplicate operations and
facilities, employee severance, professional services, termination of an
interest rate cap position and various other costs.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets and earning assets were $73.3 billion and $65.4 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 1996 compared with $73.4 billion and $66.8 billion
at year-end 1995. The decline was primarily due to a reduced securities
portfolio offset by loan growth.
LOANS Loans outstanding increased $3.1 billion from year-end 1995 to $51.8
billion at December 31, 1996. Loan portfolio composition remained relatively
consistent in the comparison except for an increase in the credit card portfolio
attributable to AAA-related initiatives.
SECURITIES The securities portfolio declined $3.9 billion from year-end 1995
to $11.9 billion at December 31, 1996, reflecting the impact of management's
actions to reduce reliance on investment activities and related wholesale
funding.

3-month LIBOR, 45% on 1-month LIBOR and the remainder on other short-term
indices.
(2) Interest rate caps with notional values of $5.783 billion and $30 million
require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if any, of
3-month LIBOR over a weighted-average strike of 6.49% and 1-month LIBOR over
6.75%, respectively.
(3) Interest rate floors with notional values of $2.5 billion and $1.05 billion
require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if any, of the
weighted-average strike of 4.92% over 3-month LIBOR and the weighted-average
strike of 5.88% over 10-year CMT.
At December 31, 1996, 1-month LIBOR was 5.50%, 3-month LIBOR was 5.56% and
10-year CMT was 6.43%.

REPORTS ON
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT
PNC Bank Corp. 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
generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, include judgments and
estimates of management. PNC Bank Corp. 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. Internal
auditors monitor the operation of the internal control system and report
findings to management and the Audit Committee, and corrective actions are taken
to address identified control deficiencies and other opportunities for improving
the system. The Audit Committee, composed solely of outside directors, provides
oversight to 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 an effective internal control system
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of an
internal control system may vary over time.
Management assessed PNC Bank Corp.'s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 1997. 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. Based on this assessment, management
believes that PNC Bank Corp. maintained an effective internal control system
over financial reporting as of December 31, 1997.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PNC BANK CORP.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PNC Bank Corp.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of PNC Bank Corp.'s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 PNC Bank Corp. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BUSINESS PNC Bank Corp. ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank") is one of the largest
diversified financial services organizations in the United States. The
Corporation's major businesses include National Consumer Banking, Regional
Community Banking, Private Banking, Secured Lending, Asset Management and
Servicing, Corporate Banking and Mortgage Banking. Financial products and
services are customized for specific customer segments and offered nationally
and in PNC Bank's primary geographic markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts and Florida. PNC Bank is
subject to intense competition from other financial services companies with
respect to these businesses and is subject to the regulations of certain federal
and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory
authorities.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of PNC Bank and its subsidiaries, substantially all of
which are wholly owned. Such statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
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 such differences may be material to the
financial statements.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans held for sale primarily consist of residential
mortgages and are carried at the lower of cost or aggregate market value. Gains
and losses on sales of loans held for sale are included in noninterest income.
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 other 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 shareholders'
equity. Gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale are computed
on a specific security basis and included in noninterest income.
LOANS Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned
income. Interest income with respect to loans is accrued on the principal amount
outstanding, except for lease financing income and interest on certain consumer
loans which are recognized over their respective terms using methods which
approximate the level yield method. Significant loan fees are deferred and
accreted to interest income over the respective lives of the loans.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual and
restructured loans and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans other than consumer
are classified as nonaccrual and the accrual of interest is discontinued when it
is determined 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
loan is 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 180 days.
A loan is categorized as restructured if the original interest rate or
repayment terms are restructured due to a deterioration in the financial
condition of the borrower.
Nonperforming loans are generally not returned to performing status until the
obligation is brought current, 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.
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 upon appraisals. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are
valued at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or the then
current market value less estimated disposition costs. Gains or losses realized
upon disposition of such property are reflected in other expense.
Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual and restructured commercial and
commercial real estate loans. Interest collected on these loans is recognized on
the cash basis or cost recovery method.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is a reserve for
estimated credit losses 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 potential 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
PNC BANK CORP.
58
subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among others, 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. Impaired loans are generally evaluated based
on the present value of expected future cash flows or the fair value of the
underlying collateral if principal repayment is expected to come from the sale
or operation of such collateral.
SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Originated servicing rights for loans sold are
recognized by allocating total costs incurred between the loan and the servicing
rights based on their relative fair values. Purchased servicing rights are
recorded at cost. Servicing rights are amortized in proportion to estimated net
servicing income. To determine the fair value of servicing rights, the
Corporation estimates the present value of future cash flows incorporating
numerous assumptions including servicing income, cost of servicing, discount
rates, prepayment speeds and default rates.
A valuation allowance is maintained for the excess, if any, of the carrying
amount of capitalized servicing rights over estimated fair value. For purposes
of measuring impairment, servicing rights are disaggregated and stratified based
on predominant risk characteristics, primarily loan type, interest rate and
investor type.
GOODWILL AND OTHER Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
ranging from 15 to 25 years. Other amortizable assets are reduced using
accelerated and 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. In such instances, impairment,
if any, is measured on a discounted future cash flow basis.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION For financial reporting purposes, premises and
equipment are depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Accelerated methods are used for federal
income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated
useful lives or their respective lease terms, whichever is shorter.
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.
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES The Corporation uses off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives as part of the overall asset/liability management process, in
mortgage banking activities and in providing risk management services to
customers. Substantially all such instruments are used to manage risk related to
changes in interest rates. Financial derivatives primarily consist of interest
rate swaps, purchased interest rate caps and floors, forward contracts and
foreign exchange contracts.
Interest rate swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange periodic
interest payments calculated on a notional principal 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 is higher or lower than a defined rate applied to a notional amount.
Interest rate swaps, caps and floors that modify 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
are accounted for under the accrual method. The net amount payable or receivable
from the derivative contract is accrued as an adjustment to interest income or
interest expense of the designated instrument. Premiums on contracts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the agreement as an adjustment to
interest income or interest expense of the designated instruments. Unamortized
premiums are included in other assets. Changes in fair value of financial
derivatives accounted for under the accrual method are not reflected in the
financial results. Realized gains and losses, except losses on terminated
interest rate caps and floors, are 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 are recognized immediately in the
results of operations. If the designated instruments are disposed of, the fair
value of the associated derivative contract and any unamortized deferred gains
or losses are included in the determination of gain or loss on the disposition
of such instruments. Contracts not qualifying for accrual accounting are marked
to market.
Forward contracts provide for the delivery of financial instruments at a
specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The Corporation uses
forward contracts primarily to manage risk associated with its mortgage banking
activities. Realized gains and losses on mandatory and optional delivery forward
commitments are recorded in mortgage banking income in the period settlement
occurs. Unrealized gains or losses are considered in the lower of cost or market
valuation of loans held for sale.
To accommodate customer needs, PNC Bank also enters into financial derivative
transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, caps, floors and
foreign exchange contracts. Interest rate risk exposure from customer positions
is
PNC BANK CORP.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
managed through transactions with other dealers. These positions are recorded
at estimated fair value and changes in value are included in other income.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Corporation has foreign currency exposures for
loans and deposits denominated in foreign currencies. These exposures are
managed by entering into currency swaps and currency forward contracts. Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Resulting gains or losses are
included in the results of operations. Derivatives designated as hedges are
accounted for using the deferral method of accounting. Derivatives not
qualifying for deferral accounting are marked to market.
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 will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.
STOCK OPTIONS For stock options granted at exercise prices not less than the
fair market value of common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense
is recognized.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Effective December 31, 1997, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." The provisions of SFAS No. 128 required replacement of the previously
reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share amounts with basic and
diluted earnings per share for all periods presented.
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
interest expense, net of tax, on outstanding convertible debentures and
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 convertible debentures
from the beginning of the year or date of issuance, if later, and the number of
shares of common stock which would be issued assuming the exercise of stock
options. Such adjustments to net income and the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments dilute
earnings per common share.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1996, SFAS No. 127 "Deferral of
the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125" was issued.
This statement defers certain provision of SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,"
related to repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar
transactions until January 1, 1998.
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This Statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive
income includes net income and all other changes in shareholders' equity except
those resulting from investments and distributions to owners.
SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. This Statement requires financial and descriptive information
about an entity's operating segments to be included in the annual financial
statements.
These standards, when implemented, are not expected to materially impact the
reported financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.
NOTE 2 MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On December 31, 1995, Midlantic Corporation ("Midlantic") merged with the
Corporation. Each share of Midlantic common stock outstanding was converted into
2.05 shares of the Corporation's common stock. The Corporation issued
approximately 112 million shares of common stock and cash in lieu of fractional
shares in connection with the merger. In connection with the merger, PNC Bank
recorded $260 million of special charges for integration and consolidation and
to realign the interest rate risk profile of the combined companies. The
transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
NOTE 3 CASH FLOWS

In connection with the Corporation's alliance with AAA, credit card portfolios
totaling $1.6 billion and $178 million were purchased during 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
Loan outstandings and unfunded commitments are concentrated in PNC Bank's
primary geographic markets. At December 31, 1997, no specific industry
concentration exceeded 4% of total outstandings and unfunded commitments.

Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds provided there
is no violation of specified contractual conditions. Commercial commitments are
reported net of participations, assignments and syndications, primarily to
financial institutions, totaling $5.9 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. 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 $4.7 billion and $4.5 billion at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and consist primarily of standby
letters of credit which commit the Corporation to make payments on behalf of
customers when 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 1997, the largest industry
concentration within standby letters of credit was health care, which accounted
for approximately 16% of the total. Maturities for standby letters of credit
ranged from 1998 to 2020.
At December 31, 1997, $1.8 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 dollar amounts of these loans were
$95 million and $265 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 14 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
regulatory agreements.
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 initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on PNC Bank's financial position. The
Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulatory agencies about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.

PNC Bank, N.A. 4,865 3,848 7.45 7.09
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory quantitative measures to ensure capital adequacy require the
Corporation to maintain minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to
risk-weighted assets of 4% and 8%, respectively, and Tier I capital to average
assets (leverage) of 3%. To qualify as well capitalized, regulators require
capital ratios of 6% for Tier I, 10% for total risk-based and 5% for leverage.
As of the most recent notification from federal regulators, the Corporation and
each of its bank subsidiaries met the well capitalized ratio requirements under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions
or events since that notification that management believes would change the
Corporation's category.
Dividends that may be paid by subsidiary banks to the parent company are
subject to certain legal limitations and also may be impacted by capital needs,
regulatory requirements, corporate policies, contractual restrictions and other
factors. Without regulatory approval, the amount available for payment of
dividends by all subsidiary banks was $237 million at December 31, 1997.
Under federal law, generally no bank subsidiary may extend credit to the
parent company or its nonbank subsidiaries on terms and under circumstances
which 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. In certain circumstances, federal regulatory authorities may
impose more restrictive limitations. Such extensions of credit, with limited
exceptions, must be fully collateralized. The maximum amount available under
statutory limitations for transfer from subsidiary banks to the parent company
in the form of loans and dividends approximated 17% of consolidated net assets
at December 31, 1997.
Federal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to maintain
cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. During 1997, subsidiary banks
maintained reserves which averaged $208 million.

The Corporation uses a variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives as
part of its overall interest rate risk management process and to manage risk
associated with mortgage banking activities. Financial derivatives involve, to
varying degrees, interest rate and credit risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the balance sheet but less than the notional amount of the
contract. For interest rate swaps and purchased interest rate caps and floors,
only periodic cash payments and, with respect to such caps and floors, premiums,
are exchanged. Therefore, cash requirements and exposure to credit risk are
significantly less than the notional value. The Corporation manages these risks
as part of its asset/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, requiring bilateral-netting agreements, and, in
certain instances, segregated collateral.
The Corporation uses interest rate swaps and purchased caps and floors to
modify the interest rate characteristics of designated interest-bearing assets
or liabilities from fixed to variable, variable to fixed, or one variable index
to another. At December 31, 1997, $7.8 billion of interest rate swaps, caps and
floors were designated to loans. No financial derivatives were designated to
securities available for sale at December 31, 1997. During 1997, derivative
contracts modified the average effective yield on interest-earning assets from
7.96% to 7.93%. At December 31, 1997, $1.8 billion of interest rate swaps were
designated to interest-bearing liabilities. During 1997, derivative contracts
modified the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.79% to 4.78%.
PNC Bank uses a combination of on-balance-sheet instruments and financial
derivatives to manage risk associated with its mortgage banking activities. The
inherent risk affecting the value of MSR is the potential for the related
mortgages to prepay, thereby eliminating the underlying servicing fee income
stream. Generally, derivatives used to hedge the value of MSR have been marked
to market and included in trading gains or losses.
Forward contracts are used to manage risk positions associated with mortgage
origination activities. Substantially all forward contracts mature within 90
days of origination. Forward contracts are traded in over-the-counter markets
and do not have standardized terms. Counterparties to the Corporation's forward
contracts are primarily U.S. government agencies and brokers and dealers in
mortgage-backed securities. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its
contractual obligations, the Corporation may be exposed to selling or purchasing
mortgage loans at prevailing market prices.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Corporation's exposure to credit losses
with respect to financial derivatives was not material.

NOTE 16 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLANS The Corporation sponsors incentive savings plans
covering substantially all employees. Under the plans, employee contributions up
to 6% of bi-weekly compensation, as defined in the plans, subject to Internal
Revenue Code limitations, are matched with cash or shares of PNC Bank common
stock. Contributions to the plans are matched primarily by shares of PNC Bank
common stock held by the Corporation's ESOP.
The Corporation makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the debt
service requirements on the ESOP borrowing less dividends received by the ESOP.
All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. Dividends used
for debt service totaled $10 million in each of the years 1997, 1996 and 1995.
To satisfy additional debt service requirements, PNC Bank contributed $13
million in 1997, $11 million in 1996 and $9 million in 1995.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the ESOP borrowing is repaid, shares are 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. Components of ESOP shares
are:
As of or for the year ended
December 31 - in thousands 1997 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------

Retired (458) (495)
-----------------
Total 6,139 6,597
- --------------------------------------------------------
Compensation expense related to the portion of contributions matched with ESOP
shares is determined based on the number of ESOP shares allocated. Compensation
expense related to these plans was $11 million for 1997, $9 million for 1996 and
$18 million for 1995.
PENSION PLANS The Corporation has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension
plan covering substantially all employees. Retirement benefits are based on
salary levels and length of service. Pension contributions are based on an
actuarially determined amount necessary to fund total benefits payable to
plan participants.
The following table sets forth the estimated status of the defined benefit
plan:

Expected long-term return on assets 9.50 9.50 9.50
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
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. At
December 31, 1997 and 1996 approximately $32 million and $27 million,
respectively, were included in other liabilities. Benefit expense related to
these plans was $8 million for 1997, $8 million for 1996 and $6 million for
1995.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The Corporation also provides certain health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees ("postretirement benefits")
through various plans. A reconciliation of the accrued postretirement benefit
obligation is as follows:
December 31 - in millions 1997 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated postretirement benefit
Retirees $162 $160
Active employees 6 6

The components of postretirement benefit expense are as follows:

obligations 16 14 15
Amortization of prior service cost (4) (4) (4)
-----------------------------
Net postretirement benefit expense $14 $13 $14
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions used in accounting for the postretirement benefit plans were:
December 31 1997 1996 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate 7.20% 7.70% 7.15%
Expected health care cost trend rate
Medical 6.50 7.00 7.50
Dental 6.20 6.60 7.00
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The health care cost trend rate declines until it stabilizes at 4.7% beginning
in 2001. A one percent increase in the health care cost trend rate from that
assumed would not have a material impact on projected service and interest costs
or the accumulated postretirement obligation.
NOTE 17 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation has a senior executive long-term incentive award plan
("Incentive Plan") that provides for the granting of incentive stock options,
nonqualified options, stock appreciation rights ("SAR"), performance units and
incentive shares. 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.
STOCK OPTIONS Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the market
value of common stock on the date of grant and are exercisable twelve months
after the grant date. Payment of the option price may be in cash or shares of
common stock at market value on the exercise date. The following table presents
stock option data related to the Incentive Plan, a similar predecessor plan and
other plans assumed in certain mergers.

At December 31, 1997, the weighted-average remaining contractual life of
outstanding options was 7 years, 3 months and options for 6,023,474 shares of
common stock were exercisable at a weighted-average price of $26.97 per share.
The grant-date fair value of options granted in 1997 was $9.24 per option.
Shares of common stock available for the granting of options under the Incentive
Plan and the predecessor plans were: 9,012,899 at December 31, 1997, 9,723,541
at December 31, 1996, and 10,314,610 at December 31, 1995.
INCENTIVE SHARE AWARDS In 1997 and 1995, 313,000 and 323,000 incentive shares
of common stock, respectively, were granted to certain senior executives
pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Issuance of such incentive shares is subject to
the market price of PNC Bank's common stock equaling or exceeding specified
levels for defined periods. At December 31, 1997 the shares granted in 1997 had
not met the specified levels required for issuance. The requirements for the
shares granted in 1995 were met on September 16, 1996 and November 4, 1996, and
302,700 shares of restricted common stock were issued. The restricted period
ends two years after the issue date. During the restricted period the recipient
receives dividends and can vote the shares. If the recipient leaves the
Corporation within the restricted period, the shares will be forfeited.
Forfeitures totaled 20,300 shares through December 31, 1997. Compensation
expense recognized for incentive share awards was $6 million, $3 million and $1
million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Corporation's employee stock purchase plan
("ESPP") has approximately 4.2 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 Bank estimated the fair value of
stock options and ESPP shares using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Black-Scholes is predominantly used to value traded options which differ from
PNC Bank's options. 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.

Real and personal property, lease financings, loan customer relationships,
deposit customer intangibles, retail branch networks, fee-based businesses, such
as asset management, mortgage banking and brokerage, trademarks and brand names
are excluded from the amounts set forth above. 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 matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot
be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly
impact the derived fair value estimates.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 those assets' 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 available for sale are 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.
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 credit cards
and 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. For purposes of this disclosure only, the carrying value of
loans held for sale approximates fair value.
DEPOSITS The carrying amounts of noninterest-bearing demand and
interest-bearing, money market and savings deposits approximate fair values. For
time deposits, fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of
expected net cash flows taking into account current interest rates.
BORROWED FUNDS The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, commercial
paper, acceptances outstanding and accrued interest payable are considered 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
taking into account current interest rates.
UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT Fair values for commitments to
extend credit and letters of credit are estimated based upon the amount of
deferred fees and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES The fair value of interest rate swaps are estimated based
on the discounted value of the expected net cash flows. The fair value of other
derivative instruments is based on dealer quotes. These fair values represent
the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the
contracts, taking into account current interest rates.

designated to commercial and commercial real estate loans altered the interest

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is based on
periodic evaluations of the credit portfolio by management. These evaluations
consider, among other factors, historic losses within specific industries,
current economic conditions, loan portfolio trends, specific credit reviews and
estimates based on subjective factors. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, stronger
economic conditions combined with management's ongoing efforts to improve asset
quality resulted in lower nonperforming assets and a higher reserve coverage of
nonperforming loans.
