      OPERATING EXPENSES, excluding the 1996 third quarter special charge of $71
      million, rose 24% in the 1997 third quarter from the same period a year
      ago.

      IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS during the 1997 third quarter, J.P. Morgan and
      American Century Companies, Inc. agreed to form a business partnership to
      pursue growth opportunities in asset management and personal financial
      services. As part of the agreement, Morgan will purchase a 45% economic
      interest in American Century for approximately $900 million; Morgan will
      have an option to increase that interest to 50% at the end of three years.
      The transaction is expected to close in early 1998, pending approval by
      each firm's Board of Directors and U.S. regulatory agencies. American
      Century, the fourth largest no-load U.S. mutual fund company selling
      directly to individuals, manages $60 billion of assets in about 70 mutual
      funds.

The remainder of this release contains information on specific areas of results,
a financial summary, and the consolidated financial statements. A summary of
business sector results is included on pages 10 and 11.

REVENUES BY BUSINESS SECTOR

REVENUES rose to $1.916 billion, up 24% from the third quarter of 1996.

Revenues from client-focused activities, which are reported in the Finance and
Advisory, Market Making, and Asset Management and Servicing sectors, totaled
$1.624 billion, up 25% from $1.304 billion a year ago. Revenues from Equity
Investments and Proprietary Investing and Trading activities increased to $307
million from $262 million in 1996.

FINANCE AND ADVISORY (Advisory, Debt and Equity Underwriting, and Credit)
revenues increased 28% to $548 million.

Revenues from advisory services and debt and equity underwriting in both
developed and emerging markets increased 74% to $328 million, reflecting record
levels of investment banking activity. Revenues from the global credit business
declined to $220 million from $240 million a year ago, primarily because of
lower syndication revenues.

Market share increased in both debt and equity underwriting and mergers and
acquisitions activity. According to Securities Data Co., J.P. Morgan ranked
sixth in U.S. debt and equity underwriting for the first nine months of 1997,
and market share grew to 8.7% from 6.9% a year ago. In completed mergers and
acquisitions transactions worldwide, Morgan also ranked sixth on a year-to-date
basis; market share rose to 10.7%, compared with 8.9% in the prior year.

MARKET MAKING (Fixed Income, Equities, Foreign Exchange, and Commodities)
revenues totaled $669 million, up 23% from $545 million a year ago.

Fixed income revenues in developed markets increased 16% to $333 million, with
especially strong results in Europe. In emerging markets, market-making revenues
were $111 million, down from $153 million a year ago. In
   3
                                       3


equities, market making revenues were up 83% to $106 million. Equity commissions
increased sharply, reflecting growing volumes and market share on U.S. and
European exchanges; equity derivative revenues also grew. Foreign exchange
revenues rose more than 70% to $99 million on strong client demand in active
markets. Commodities revenues were $20 million in the current period versus a
loss of $10 million a year ago.

ASSET MANAGEMENT AND SERVICING (Investment Management, Private Client Services,
Futures and Options Brokerage, and Euroclear System) revenues rose 23% to $407
million in the third quarter from a year ago. Revenues generated from
institutional investment management activities and services for private clients
increased 23% to $259 million. Assets under management were approximately $244
billion at September 30, 1997, compared with $197 billion at September 30, 1996.
Futures and Options Brokerage as well as Euroclear-related revenues also
increased.

Private clients accounted for approximately $160 million of revenues from the
firm's client-focused activities in the third quarter, up 31% from 1996. Of this
amount, $51 million is recorded in the Finance and Advisory and Market Making
sectors.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS (Equity Portfolio Management for Morgan's own account)
reported revenues of $66 million in the third quarter, compared with $59 million
a year ago. Included in reported revenues were net gains of $54 million in the
current quarter versus $56 million a year ago. On a total return basis,
combining reported revenues with the change in net unrealized appreciation,
Equity Investments earned $176 million in the 1997 third quarter, primarily
related to investments in the insurance and financial services industries. A
year ago, total return was a loss of $48 million.

PROPRIETARY INVESTING AND TRADING (Market Risk Positioning and Capital and
Liquidity Management) revenues totaled $241 million for the 1997 third quarter,
compared with $203 million a year ago. Total return - reported revenues plus the
change in net unrealized appreciation - for the 1997 third quarter was $173
million, compared with $165 million in 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses were $1.326 billion in the 1997 third quarter, compared with
$1.137 billion in the third quarter of 1996. Excluding the technology-related
special charge of $71 million in last year's third quarter, 1997 third quarter
expenses grew 24% from a year earlier. The increase reflects continued spending
on investment banking, equities, and asset management capabilities and higher
levels of client-related business activity. Also contributing to the rise were
expenditures related to initiatives to prepare for the year 2000 and the
anticipated conversion to a single European currency.

At September 30, 1997, staff totaled 16,525 employees, compared with 15,188
employees at September 30, 1996.

Income tax expense in the third quarter totaled $194 million, based on an
effective tax rate of 33%, the same rate used in the year-earlier quarter.

ASSETS

Total assets were $270 billion at September 30, 1997, compared with $250 billion
at June 30, 1997.

CAPITAL

As of September 30, 1997, J.P. Morgan adopted the Federal Reserve Board's new
market risk capital guidelines for calculation of risk-based capital ratios, in
advance of the mandatory implementation date of January 1, 1998. The new
framework amends the existing guidelines by incorporating a measure of market
risk for trading positions. In addition, the capital and assets of the Section
20 subsidiary, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., are no longer excluded from the
calculations. Under these new rules, J.P. Morgan's estimated tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1997, were 8.0% and 11.5%,
respectively, and the estimated leverage ratio was 4.5%. Prior period ratios
have not been restated.

At September 30, 1997, stockholders' equity included approximately $598 million
of net unrealized appreciation on debt investment and marketable equity
investment securities, net the related deferred tax liability of $353 million.
This compares with $518 million of net unrealized appreciation at June 30, 1997,
net the related deferred tax liability of $310 million. The net unrealized
appreciation on debt investment securities was $343 million and $294 million at
September 30, 1997, and June 30, 1997, respectively. The net unrealized
appreciation on marketable equity investment securities was $608 million at
September 30, 1997, and $534 million at June 30, 1997.

(a) Earnings per share amounts represent both primary and fully diluted earnings
per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Fully diluted earnings
per share were $1.95 and $1.84 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
and June 30, 1997, respectively, and $5.82 and $5.57 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(b) Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 115, the book value per common share would
have been $53.73, $51.01, and $52.68 at September 30, 1997, September 30, 1996,
and June 30, 1997, respectively.

(c) Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 115, the annualized rate of return on
average common stockholders' equity would have been 15.0%, 10.6%, and 14.7% for
the three months ended September 30, 1997, September 30, 1996, and June 30,
1997, respectively, and 15.4% and 15.5% for the nine months ended September 30,

framework amends the existing guidelines by incorporating a measure of market
risk for trading positions. In addition, the capital and assets of the Section
20 subsidiary, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., are no longer excluded from the
calculations; however, the effect of SFAS No. 115 continues to be excluded.

(e) Average debt investment securities are computed on historical amortized
cost, excluding the effects of SFAS No. 115 adjustments.

BUSINESS SECTORS:

We describe the activities of J.P. Morgan using five business sectors. Three of
these sectors - Finance and Advisory, Market Making, and Asset Management and
Servicing - focus on services we provide for clients, including positions taken
to facilitate client transactions. Two sectors comprise proprietary activities
that we conduct exclusively for our own account: Equity Investments and
Proprietary Investing and Trading. The Finance and Advisory sector includes
results of our Advisory, Debt and Equity Underwriting, and Credit activities.
The Market Making sector includes results of our Fixed Income, Equities, Foreign
Exchange, and Commodities activities. The Asset Management and Servicing sector
includes results of our Investment Management, Private Client Services, Futures
and Options Brokerage, and Euroclear System activities. Corporate Items includes
revenues and expenses that have not been allocated to the five business sectors,
intercompany eliminations, and the taxable-equivalent adjustment. For a complete
description of our business sectors, please refer to the J.P. Morgan & Co.
Incorporated 1996 Annual report.


METHODOLOGY:

The firm's management reporting system and policies were used to determine the
revenues and expenses directly attributable to each business sector. Earnings on
stockholders' equity were allocated based on management's assessment of the
inherent risk of the components of each sector. In addition, certain overhead
expenses not allocated for management reporting purposes were allocated to each
business 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. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Effective January 1, 1997,
as compensation for managing the firm's credit risk, Global Credit receives fees
from other Morgan businesses. Such fees are included as revenues in the Finance
and Advisory sector and as a reduction in revenues reported by businesses on
whose behalf such credit risk is managed.
