                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        OF J.P. MORGAN & CO. INCORPORATED

Supplementary to notes in the 1995 Annual report to stockholders

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial information in this report has not been audited. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have
been made. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. Management
consults with its independent accountants on significant accounting and
reporting matters that arise during the year.

2. INTEREST REVENUE AND EXPENSE

An analysis of interest revenue and expense derived from on-and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments is presented in the table below.
Interest revenue and expense associated with derivative financial instruments,
such as swaps, forwards, spot, futures, options, and debt securities forwards,
used as hedges or to modify the interest rate characteristics of assets and
liabilities, are attributed to and included with the related balance sheet
instrument. Net interest revenue associated with risk-adjusting swaps that are
used to meet longer-term asset and liability management objectives, including
the maximization of net interest revenue, is not attributed to a specific
balance sheet instrument, but is included in the Other sources caption in the

(a) Interest revenue from debt investment securities included taxable revenue of
$362 million and $1,094 million and revenue exempt from U.S. income taxes of $31
million and $89 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1996, respectively. Interest revenue from debt investment securities included
taxable revenue of $342 million and $1,030 million and revenue exempt from U.S.
income taxes of $35 million and $118 million for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, net interest
revenue associated with asset and liability management derivatives was
approximately $25 million and $90 million respectively, compared with
approximately $90 million and $280 million for the respective 1995 periods. At
September 30, 1996, approximately ($170) million of net deferred losses on
closed derivative contracts used for asset and liability management purposes
were recorded on the balance sheet. Such amount is primarily composed of net
deferred losses on closed hedge contracts included in the amortized cost of the
debt investment portfolio. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements,
Investment securities, the net unrealized appreciation associated with the debt
investment portfolio was $224 million at September 30, 1996. Net deferred losses
on closed derivative contracts are expected to amortize into Net interest
revenue as follows: ($20) million - remainder of 1996; ($55) million in 1997;
($40) million in 1998; ($25) million in 1999; ($20) million in 2000; ($9)
million in 2001; and approximately ($1) million thereafter. The amount of net
deferred gains or losses on closed derivative contracts will change from period
to period, primarily due to amortization of such amounts to net interest revenue
and the execution of our asset and liability management strategies, which may
result in the sale of the underlying hedged instruments and/or termination of
hedge contracts.

3. TRADING REVENUE

Trading revenue disaggregated by principal product groupings for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, is presented in the
following table. Trading-related net interest revenue should be considered when
evaluating trading results since the firm manages its trading activities based
on combined revenues. For additional information refer to the Trading revenue
discussion in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Derivatives
Derivatives may be used either for trading or asset and liability management
purposes. Accordingly, the notional amounts presented in the table below have
been identified as relating to either trading or asset and liability management
activities based on management's intent and ongoing usage. A summary of the
credit exposure, which is represented by the positive market value associated
with derivatives, after considering the benefit of approximately $29.0 billion
and $27.7 billion of master netting agreements in effect at September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively, is also presented.

(a) The majority of J.P. Morgan's asset and liability management derivatives are
transacted with independently managed J.P. Morgan derivatives dealers that
function as intermediaries for credit and administrative purposes. 

(b) The notional amounts of asset and liability management derivatives
contracts conducted in the foreign exchange markets, primarily forward
contracts, amounted to $41.6 billion at September 30, 1996, and were primarily

(c) The notional amount of risk-adjusting swaps was $236.2 billion at September
30, 1996. 

(d) At September 30, 1996, purchased options used for trading purposes included
$432.8 billion of interest rate options, $88.5 billion of foreign exchange
options, and $29.8 billion of commodity and equity options. Only interest rate
options are used for asset and liability management purposes. Purchased options
executed on an exchange amounted to $114.8 billion and those negotiated
over-the-counter amounted to $438.4 billion at September 30, 1996. 

(e) At September 30, 1996, written options used for trading purposes included
$607.2 billion of interest rate options, $99.3 billion of foreign exchange

Asset and liability management derivatives
As an end user, J.P. Morgan utilizes derivative instruments in the execution of
its asset and liability management strategies. Derivatives used for these
purposes primarily include interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward
contracts, forward rate agreements, interest rate futures, and debt securities
forwards. Derivatives are used to hedge or modify the interest rate
characteristics of debt investment securities, loans, deposits, other
liabilities for borrowed money, long-term debt, and other financial assets and
liabilities. In addition, we utilize derivatives to adjust our overall interest
rate risk profile through the use of risk-adjusting swaps.

     Net unrealized gains associated with open derivative contracts used to
hedge or modify the interest rate characteristics of related balance sheet
instruments amounted to $72 million at September 30, 1996. Gross unrealized
gains and gross unrealized losses associated with open derivative contracts used
for these purposes at September 30, 1996, are presented below. Such amounts
primarily relate to interest rate and currency swaps used to hedge or modify the
interest rate characteristics of long-term debt, deposits, and debt investment
securities, principally mortgage-backed securities. See Note 7 to the financial
statements, Fair value of financial instruments.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Net unrealized gains associated with risk-adjusting swaps and their related
hedges that are entered into to meet longer-term asset and liability management
objectives approximated $0.2 billion at September 30, 1996. The net amount is
composed of $2.6 billion of gross unrealized gains and $2.4 billion of gross
unrealized losses. The unrealized gains and losses related to the derivative
contracts used to hedge these risk-adjusting swaps, included above, were not
material at September 30, 1996. There were no material terminations of
risk-adjusting swaps during the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1996.

Credit-related financial instruments
Credit-related financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit and guarantees. The contractual amounts of these
instruments represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn
upon, the client default, and the value of any existing collateral become
worthless. The credit risk associated with these instruments varies depending on
the creditworthiness of the client and the value of any collateral held. The
maximum credit risk associated with credit-related financial instruments is
measured by the contractual amounts of these instruments.

     A summary of the contractual amount of credit-related financial instruments
at September 30, 1996, is presented in the following table.



                                                                    September 30

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Other
Consistent with industry practice, amounts receivable and payable for securities
that have not reached the contractual settlement dates are recorded net on the
consolidated balance sheet. Amounts receivable for securities sold of $35.8
billion were netted against amounts payable for securities purchased of $35.2
billion to arrive at a net trade date receivable of $0.6 billion, which was
classified as Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30,
1996.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, J.P. Morgan estimates
that the aggregate net fair value of all balance sheet and off-balance-sheet
financial instruments exceeded associated net carrying values at September 30,
1996 and December 31,1995, by approximately $1.4 billion before considering
income taxes. Such amounts were primarily attributable to net appreciation on
net loans and risk-adjusting swaps of $1.2 billion and $0.2 billion,
respectively, at September 30, 1996 and $1.2 billion and $0.4 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 1995.

8. IMPAIRED LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Total impaired loans, net of charge-offs, at September 30, 1996, are presented
in the following table. At September 30, 1996, more than half of the impaired
loan balance is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at an individual loan's effective interest rate, and the
remainder is based on the fair value of the collateral.



                                                                    September 30

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(a) As of September 30, 1996, no reserve is required under SFAS No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, for the $161 million recorded
investment in impaired loans. Charge-offs and interest applied to principal have
reduced the recorded investment values to amounts that are less than the SFAS
No. 114 calculated values. For the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $140.7 million
and $139.6 million, respectively. 

(b) In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and SFAS No.
114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, an allowance is maintained that is considered
adequate to absorb losses inherent in the existing portfolios of loans and other
undertakings to extend credit, such as irrevocable unused loan commitments, or
to make payments to others for which a client is ultimately liable, such as
standby letters of credit and guarantees, commercial letters of credit and
acceptances, and all other credit exposures, including derivatives. A judgment
as to the adequacy of the allowance is made at the end of each quarterly
reporting period. 

(c) At September 30, 1996, the allocation of the allowance for credit losses was
as follows: Specific allocation-borrowers in the U.S. $116 million, Specific
allocation-borrowers outside the U.S. $73 million, Allocation to general risk
$924 million.

9. INVESTMENT BANKING AND OTHER REVENUE

In the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, investment banking revenue of $233
million and $195 million includes $83 million and $71 million, respectively, of
underwriting revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
underwriting revenue was $259 million and $134 million, respectively.

     Other revenue of $69 million in the 1996 third quarter includes $56 million
of net equity investment securities gains. Other revenue of $145 million in the
1995 third quarter includes $91 million of net equity investment securities
gains and $35 million of revenue associated with hedging anticipated foreign
currency revenues and expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, Other revenue of $328 million and $461 million, respectively, primarily
includes net equity investment securities gains of $238 million and $386
million, respectively.

10. OPERATING EXPENSES

In July 1996, JP Morgan entered into an agreement with a consortium of firms to
form a strategic alliance to manage parts of the firm's global technology
infrastructure (the "Alliance"). The formation of the Alliance resulted in a
technology-related special charge incurred in the third quarter of $71 million,
which is reflected in technology and communication expenses. The charge related
primarily to payments for training and other personnel costs incurred and to
the sale at a loss of certain technology equipment to the Alliance.

11. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense in the 1996 third quarter reflects a 33% effective tax rate,
compared to a 32% effective tax rate in the 1995 third quarter. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, the effective tax rate remained unchanged at
33% from the comparable 1995 period. Income tax expense (benefit) related to net
investment securities gains (losses) was approximately $5 million and ($11)
million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) related to net investment securities
gains (losses) was approximately ($9) million and $8 million for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively. The applicable
tax rate used to compute the income tax expense (benefit) related to net
investment securities gains (losses) was approximately 41% for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     The valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized totaled approximately $125 million at September 30,
1996, compared with $140 million at December 31, 1995. The valuation allowance
is primarily related to the ability to recognize tax benefits associated with
foreign operations.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Excluding mortgaged properties, assets carried at approximately $64.1 billion in
the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996, were pledged as collateral
for borrowings, to qualify for fiduciary powers, to secure public monies as
required by law, and for other purposes.


   17

13. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

In the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per common share, net
income is adjusted by adding back to net income the interest expense on
convertible debentures and the expense related to dividend equivalents on
certain deferred incentive compensation awards, net of the related income tax
effects, and deducting the preferred stock dividends.

     Primary and fully diluted earnings per common share are computed by
dividing income components by the weighted-average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

     For the primary earnings per share calculation, the weighted-average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding includes the average number
of shares of common stock outstanding, the average number of shares issuable
upon conversion of convertible debentures, and the average number of shares
issuable under employee benefit plans, that have a dilutive effect.

     The weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding, assuming full dilution, includes the average number of shares of
common stock outstanding, the average number of shares issuable upon conversion
of convertible debentures, and the average number of shares issuable under
various employee benefit plans. The maximum dilutive effect is computed using
the period-end market price of J.P. Morgan common stock, if it is higher than
the average market price used in calculating primary earnings per share.

PART I

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated reported net income of $276 million in the third
quarter of 1996, 23% lower than in the third quarter of 1995. Earnings per share
for the quarter were $1.32 compared with $1.78 a year ago. The 1996 third
quarter earnings reflected a special charge of $71 million ($42 million after
tax, or $0.21 per share),related to the previously announced formation of a
strategic alliance to manage parts of the firm's global technology
infrastructure. Excluding the charge, net income totaled $318 million in the
third quarter of 1996, 12% lower than in the third quarter of 1995. Net income
for the first nine months of 1996, including the third quarter special charge,
totaled $1.155 billion, up 24% from $930 million a year earlier. Earnings per
share in the first nine months were $5.60 compared with $4.62 a year ago.
Nine-month earnings in 1995 included a first quarter charge of $55 million ($33
million after tax, or $0.17 per share), related primarily to severance.

REVENUES equaled the level in the third quarter of 1995:

     -   Trading revenue rose 28% to $510 million due to higher results in fixed
         income and foreign exchange. Combined trading and related net interest
         revenue was up 35% to $575 million.

     -   Investment banking revenue was up 19% to $233 million.

     -   Investment management fees grew 9%. Credit-related fees were flat, and
         operational service fees were lower as a result of the sale of the
         firm's custody business in late 1995.

     -   Net interest revenue declined 16% to $425 million.

     -   Other revenue decreased 52% to $69 million due to lower net equity
         investment securities gains.

OPERATING EXPENSES, excluding the special charge, rose 4% from a year ago.

IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, Morgan announced in August an agreement to sell its
institutional U.S. cash-processing business. The sale is expected to close in
the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approvals, and is not expected to have
any material effect on Morgan's ongoing financial results. 

Morgan completed the agreement to form the Pinnacle Alliance in July. The firm
expects to achieve aggregate savings of approximately 15% on projected 
technology costs over the seven-year life of the Alliance agreement after the 
special charge.

BUSINESS SECTOR RESULTS

The firm reports financial results for five business sectors. Three are oriented
toward client services: Finance and Advisory, Sales and Trading, and Asset
Management and Servicing. The Equity Investments sector comprises management of
the firm's own portfolio of equity securities. The Asset and Liability
Management sector covers the management of the firm's overall interest rate
exposure. These five sectors generally reflect the way we operate but do not
correspond exactly with the firm's organizational structure. Presented below are
the summary results for each sector for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

Notes:

(1) The firm's management reporting system and policies were used to determine
the revenues and expenses directly attributable to each sector on a
taxable-equivalent basis. In addition, earnings on stockholders' equity and
certain overhead expenses not allocated for management reporting purposes were
allocated to each business sector. Earnings on stockholders' equity were
allocated based on management's assessment of the inherent risk of each sector.
Overhead expenses were allocated based primarily on staff levels and represent
costs associated with various support functions that exist for the benefit of
the firm as a whole. 

(2) In the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $136 million and $167
million, respectively, related to income taxes were not allocated to the
business sectors. In the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $569
million and $448 million, respectively, related to income taxes were not
allocated to the business sectors.

FINANCE AND ADVISORY

The Finance and Advisory sector recorded pretax income of $71 million in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with $141 million a year ago. Total revenue in
the 1996 third quarter decreased 6% to $425 million in the third quarter of 1995
reflecting a decline in equities trading revenue. The decline was partially
offset by an increase in investment banking revenue principally due to higher
levels of advisory, syndication, and underwriting activities.

         Expenses in the third quarter of 1996 were $354 million compared with
$312 million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 13%, primarily due to
higher employee compensation and benefits expenses.

         Revenues for the nine month period increased 21% to $1,383 million from
the corresponding prior period. Expenses for the same period increased 20% to
$1,056 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

         For the third quarter of 1996, J.P. Morgan ranked as the fourth largest
underwriter of U.S. debt and equity issues, according to Securities Data Co. In
advisory activities, Securities Data Co. ranked J.P. Morgan sixth in completed
mergers and acquisitions worldwide and fourth in pending transactions in the
first nine months of 1996. As an arranger of bank credit facilities, J.P. Morgan
ranked second globally, according to Loan Pricing Corp., for the first nine
months of 1996.

SALES AND TRADING

The Sales and Trading sector recorded pretax income of $226 million in the third
quarter of 1996 compared with $119 million in the third quarter of 1995. Total
revenue in the third quarter of 1996 increased 29% to $558 million in the third
quarter of 1995 due primarily to higher results in fixed income markets driven
by continued strong client demand for swaps and for government and corporate
securities.

         Total expenses of $332 million increased 6% from the third quarter of
1995 primarily due to higher employee compensation and benefits expense.

         Total revenue of $1,962 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, increased 69% from 1995. Total expenses increased 14% to $1,022 million
when compared to the same period last year.
                                              
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND SERVICING

The Asset Management and Servicing sector recorded pretax income of $54 million
in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $80 million in the year-earlier
period. Total revenue increased 7% to $336 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared with the third quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily driven by
an increase in revenue from asset management, reflecting an increase in assets
under management, primarily from net new business. Assets under management at
September 30, 1996 were $197 billion.

         Expenses associated with Asset Management and Servicing were $282
million in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $234 million in the third
quarter of 1995. The 21% increase in expenses primarily relates to higher
employee compensation and benefits, in part due to higher staff levels.

         Revenues of $1,040 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 1996, increased 11% from 1995. Expenses of $827 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996, increased 22% from 1995.

         In strategic dispositions, J.P. Morgan sold its custody business and
discontinued certain of its cash services during 1995 and, as previously
mentioned, has agreed to sell its U.S. institutional cash processing business.
Revenues and expenses for 1996 and 1995 associated with these businesses are
included in the Corporate Items section.

         These actions do not affect the cash management and processing services
Morgan offers for private clients or the firm's role as operator of the
Euroclear System, the world's largest clearance and settlement system for
internationally traded securities.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Equity Investments recorded pretax income of $81 million in the third quarter of
1996 compared with $96 million in the third quarter of 1995. Total revenue was
$88 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $102 million in the third
quarter of 1995. The 1996 third quarter reflected net equity investment
securities gains of $56 million versus $91 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Total revenue for the nine month period was $333 million compared with $426
million in 1995. Net unrealized appreciation on the combined portfolio of
marketable and nonmarketable equity investment securities was $383 million at
September 30, 1996, compared with $490 million at June 30, 1996.

         The results of the Equity Investment portfolio are also evaluated on an
economic basis using total return, which combines revenue and the change in net
unrealized appreciation. Total return for the third quarter of 1996 was ($19)
million compared with $65 million in the third quarter of 1995. Total return for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was $191 million compared with $270
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. As our investment strategy
covers a longer-term horizon, total return viewed over shorter periods will
reflect the impact of short-term market movements, including industry specific
events.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset and Liability Management recorded pretax income of $148 million in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with $217 million in the same period a year ago.
Total revenue, which primarily includes net interest revenue and net investment
securities gains (losses), was $176 million and $244 million for the third
quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decline in total revenue, primarily
due to the decrease in net interest revenue as a result of the maturity of
higher-yielding instruments, was partially offset by net investment securities
gains in the third quarter of 1996. Net investment securities gains in the third
quarter of 1996 were $11 million compared with net losses of $22 million in the
third quarter of 1995. Net unrealized appreciation on asset and liability
management financial instruments, which included appreciation associated with
risk-adjusting swaps and debt investment securities, was $279 million at
September 30, 1996 and $317 million at June 30, 1996.

         Total revenue was $463 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 compared with $774 million for the year-earlier period.

         As our objective in Asset and Liability Management is to create
longer-term value through the management of interest rate risk related to J.P.
Morgan's nontrading assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet activities, the
performance of the Asset and Liability Management sector, similar to that of the
Equity Investments sector, is evaluated on an economic basis using total return.
Total return, which combines reported revenue and the change in net unrealized
appreciation, decreased to $138 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $187
million in the third quarter of 1995. Total return for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996 was $189 million compared with $346 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.

CORPORATE ITEMS

Corporate Items includes revenues and expenses that have not been allocated to
the five business sectors, intercompany eliminations, and the taxable equivalent
adjustment, which is calculated to gross-up tax exempt interest to a taxable
basis.

         Corporate Items for the third quarter and nine months of 1996 and 1995
also included the revenues and expenses of the custody and cash processing
businesses. As mentioned in the discussion of Asset Management and Servicing,
these businesses have been sold or discontinued during 1995 or are expected to
be sold by year end. Corporate Items for the third quarter and the nine months
of 1996 also included the previously announced special charge of $71 million
related to the formation of the Pinnacle Alliance; and the taxable equivalent
adjustment of $20 million and $27 million for the third quarter of 1996 and 1995
respectively. Corporate Items for the nine months of 1996 consisted primarily of
intercompany eliminations, the taxable equivalent adjustment of $64 million, and
other items not allocated to a sector.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The following presents the market risk profiles related to our trading
activities and asset and liability management activities for the three months
and twelve months ended September 30, 1996.

Trading activities
J.P. Morgan employs a value at risk methodology to estimate the potential losses
that could arise from adverse changes in market conditions within a 95%
confidence interval, referred to as "Daily Earnings at Risk" (DEaR). The DEaR
estimate for our combined trading activities for the third quarter of 1996
averaged approximately $19 million and ranged from $13 million to $25 million.
The DEaR estimate for our combined trading activities for the second quarter of
1996 averaged approximately $22 million and ranged from $17 million to $26
million.

         For the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the DEaR estimate for
our combined trading activities averaged approximately $21 million and ranged
from approximately $13 million to $28 million. Daily combined trading-related
revenue averaged $11.6 million during the twelve-month period ended September
30, 1996. Consistent with statistical expectations, daily revenue fell short of
expected results by amounts greater than related DEaR estimates within 5% of the
trading days during the twelve months ended September 30, 1996.

Asset and liability management activities
During the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, value at risk measured over a
weekly horizon averaged approximately $44 million and ranged from $21 million to
$82 million. These amounts approximate average DEaR of $20 million and a range
of $10 million to $37 million. Weekly total return related to asset and
liability management activities fell short of expected weekly results by amounts
greater than related weekly value at risk estimates within 5% of the time.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

REVENUES

Revenues totaled $1.549 billion in the third quarter of 1996, equal to the level
of the year earlier quarter. Revenues in the third quarter trailed the levels in
the first two quarters of 1996 primarily because of lower trading results and
lower net equity investment securities gains. For the first nine months of 1996,
revenues were up 15% to $5.050 billion from the corresponding 1995 period.

         Net interest revenue, the aggregate of interest revenue and expense
generated by the firm's asset and liability management, credit-related, and
trading activities, declined 16% to $425 million from the third quarter of 1995.
The principal factor in the decline was the maturing of higher yielding asset
and liability management instruments. For the first nine months of 1996, net
interest revenue decreased 20% to $1,218 million from the corresponding 1995
period.
                      
         The following table provides J.P. Morgan's interest-rate-sensitivity
gap at September 30, 1996, including the asset and liability
interest-rate-sensitivity gap and the effect of derivatives on the gap. The
resulting interest-rate-sensitivity gap is presented by U.S. dollar and non-U.S.
dollar currency components and reflects J.P. Morgan's market outlook at
September 30, 1996. Significant variances in interest rate sensitivity may exist
at other dates not presented in the table. Amounts in parentheses reflect
liability sensitive positions.

Trading revenue rose 28% to $510 million in the third quarter from $399 million
a year earlier. Trading revenue for the first nine months of 1996 totaled $1.965
billion, up from $1.007 billion in the corresponding 1995 period. Year-to-date
trading revenues in both developed and emerging markets were strong and
diversified across the firm's products.

Reported trading revenue does not include net interest revenue associated with
trading activities, which was $65 million in the third quarter of 1996 and $26
million a year ago.

The following table presents trading revenue and net interest revenue associated
with the firm's trading activities, in both developed and emerging markets,
disaggregated by principal product groupings. The table does not represent total
revenues generated by business activities as discussed in Business sector
results. For example, underwriting revenues and equities commissions, which are
reported in Investment banking revenue and Operational service fees respectively
on the Consolidated Statement of Income, are not included below.

Combined trading and related net interest revenue rose to $575 million in the
third quarter from $425 million a year earlier. Combined revenue from fixed
income rose to $448 million in the third quarter from $308 million in the
year-earlier quarter, driven by continued strong client demand for swaps and for
government and corporate securities. Combined revenue from equities was $39
million compared with $52 million a year earlier. Foreign exchange combined
revenue increased to $64 million from $29 million in the third quarter of 1995,
largely in emerging markets. Combined revenue for the first nine months of 1996
was $2,102, compared with $1,122 in the same 1995 period.

Investment banking revenue increased 19% to $233 million in the third quarter.
Underwriting revenue grew to $83 million from $71 million a year ago. Advisory
and syndication fees in the third quarter rose to $150 million from $124 million
a year earlier. Investment banking revenue for the first nine months of 1996 was

Underwriting revenue for the first nine months of 1996 was $259 million, versus
$134 million in the comparable 1995 period.

      Credit-related fees of $39 million in the third quarter were flat compared
with the third quarter of 1995. Excluding revenues from the custody business,
which was sold in 1995, and from the discontinued cash-processing businesses,
credit related fees rose 13% from a year earlier. In the first nine months of
this year, credit-related fees excluding revenues from the custody and
cash-processing businesses, rose 7% from the same period of 1995.

      Investment management fees advanced 9% to $164 million from a year ago, as
assets under management rose, primarily from net new business. Investment
management fees for the first nine months of 1996 were $493 million, versus $418
million in the same 1995 period. Assets under management at September 30, 1996,
were $197 billion.

         Operational service fees in the third quarter totaled $98 million, 28%
lower than in the third quarter of 1995. Excluding revenues associated with the
custody and cash-processing businesses, operational service fees were unchanged.
For the first nine months of 1996, operational service fees excluding revenues
from the custody and cash-processing businesses, increased 6% from the
corresponding 1995 period.

         Net investment securities gains were $11 million in the third quarter,
compared with net losses of $22 million in the third quarter of 1995. For the
nine-month period, net investment securities losses were $28 million, versus net
gains of $20 million in the first nine months of 1995.

         Other revenue was $69 million in the third quarter, compared with $145
million a year earlier. The 1996 third quarter reflected net equity investment
securities gains of $56 million, compared with $91 million in the year-earlier
quarter. For the first nine months of 1996, other revenue was $328 million,
versus $461 million in the comparable 1995 period. Net equity investment

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were $1.137 billion in the third quarter, compared with
$1.022 billion in the third quarter of 1995. Excluding the technology-related
special charge and expenses associated with the custody and cash-processing
businesses, 1996 third quarter operating expenses grew 10% from a year earlier.
Employee compensation and benefits rose primarily due to higher incentive
compensation accruals, reflecting the increasing proportion of revenue from our
client-based businesses and more competitive market conditions. Other expenses
increased due to higher levels of business activity.

         The firm incurred a $71 million special charge in the third quarter,
which is reflected in technology & communications expenses, in conjunction
with the formation of the Pinnacle Alliance. Approximately 700 employees in
areas covered by the agreement were transferred to Alliance firms. Costs
associated with the transferred employees, previously reflected in employee
compensation & benefits, are now reflected in payments to the Alliance and
included in technology & communications expenses.

         At September 30, 1996, staff totaled 15,188 employees compared with
16,394 employees at September 30, 1995.

         Operating expenses in the first nine months of 1996 increased 11% to
$3.326 billion. Excluding the 1995 first quarter charge related primarily to
severance, the 1996 technology-related special charge and expenses associated
with the custody and cash-processing businesses, operating expenses rose 16%.

         Income tax expense of $136 million in the third quarter was based on an
effective tax rate of 33% versus 32% in the third quarter of 1995. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the effective tax rate was 33%.

ASSETS

Total assets were $212 billion at September 30, 1996, compared with $199 billion
at June 30, 1996. Nonperforming assets increased by $27 million to $161 million
during the third quarter as repayments and charge-offs were more than offset by
assets newly classified as nonperforming. No provision for credit losses was
deemed necessary in the 1996 third quarter. The allowance for credit losses was
$1.113 billion at September 30, 1996.

FOREIGN-COUNTRY-RELATED OUTSTANDINGS

Foreign-country-related outstandings represent outstandings to foreign borrowers
that are denominated in U.S. dollars or currencies other than the borrower's
local currency or, in the case of a guarantee, other than the guarantor's local
currency. Countries in which J.P. Morgan's outstandings exceeded 1.0% of total
assets at September 30, 1996, are listed in the following table. Outstandings
include loans, interest-earning deposits with banks, investment securities,
customers' acceptance liability, securities purchased under agreements to
resell, trading account securities, accrued interest, and other monetary assets.
Outstandings generally are distributed according to the location of the
borrower. In the case of guaranteed outstandings or when tangible, liquid
collateral is held and realizable outside the obligor's country, distribution is
generally made according to the location of the guarantor or the location where
the collateral is held and realizable.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT DERIVATIVES

     The objective of asset and liability management is to create longer-term
value through the management of interest rate risk related to J.P. Morgan's
nontrading assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet activities. J.P. Morgan
utilizes a variety of financial instruments, including derivatives, in an
integrated manner to achieve these objectives. Additional information on asset
and liability management derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, is provided
below. For more information about asset and liability management activities, see
Note 6 to the financial statements, Off-balance-sheet financial instruments.

     The table below summarizes maturities and weighted-average interest rates
to be received and paid on U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar asset and liability
management interest rate swaps at September 30, 1996. The majority of asset and
liability management interest rate swaps, as presented below, are risk-adjusting
swaps. Also included in the table are swaps designated as hedges or used to
modify the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities. Variable
rates presented are generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
in effect on the swaps at September 30, 1996, and reset at predetermined dates.
The table was prepared under the assumption that these variable interest rates
remain constant. The variable interest rates to be received or paid will change
to the extent that rates fluctuate. Such changes may be substantial.

         Not included in the table below are other derivatives used for asset
and liability management purposes, such as currency swaps, basis swaps, foreign
exchange contracts, interest rate futures, forward rate agreements, debt
securities forwards, and purchased options, totaling $64.2 billion at September
30, 1996. The contractual maturities of these derivative contracts are primarily
less than one year.
