THE CHASE MANHATTAN CORPORATION
COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income for basic and diluted EPS is computed by subtracting from the
applicable earnings the dividend requirements on preferred stock to arrive at
earnings applicable to common stock. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
income available to common shares outstanding by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the same
method as basic EPS, but reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. For a further discussion of Chase's earnings per share
computation, see Note Ten of Chase's 1997 Annual Report.
