CORPORATE FINANCIAL REVIEW

OVERVIEW

PNC BANK CORP. The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial
services companies in the United States. It operates five lines of business:
Consumer Banking, Corporate Banking, Real Estate Banking, Mortgage Banking, and
Asset Management. Each line of business focuses on specific customer segments
and offers financial products and services on a national level and in its
primary geographic locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and
Kentucky.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS Earnings for the first six months of 1996 reflect
improvements in the Corporation's major businesses including growth in fee-based
revenues led by asset management, brokerage and corporate finance. The results
also reflect the benefits of previous actions taken to reposition the balance
sheet. Net income for the first six months of 1996 increased 30.3% to $486.4
million, or $1.41 per fully diluted share, compared with $373.5 million, or
$1.08 per fully diluted share, for the first six months of 1995.  Returns on
average assets and average common shareholders' equity were 1.36% and 16.99%,
respectively, in the first six months of 1996 compared with 1.00% and 13.24% a
year ago.

Net interest income increased 13.8% to $1.2 billion and net interest margin
widened 60 basis points to 3.72% compared with the first six months of 1995
primarily due to loan growth, the Chemical Bank, New Jersey ("Chemical")
acquisition and a change in balance sheet composition. The Corporation
expects net interest income and margin to continue to increase in the second
half of 1996. The level of net interest income and margin will depend on a
number of factors including the composition of earning assets, loan growth, loan
yields, and deposit volumes and related costs.

At June 30, 1996, total assets were $72.0 billion. Average earning assets
declined $3.5 billion in the period-to-period comparison to $66.0 billion
primarily due to the reduction in securities and related wholesale funding
partially offset by a 10.6% increase in loans. Excluding acquisitions, average
loans increased 5.6%. Loan growth was tempered by competitive pricing pressures,
declining demand and the Corporation's assessment of national asset quality
trends in consumer lending. The Corporation substantially completed the
repositioning of its balance sheet in the fourth quarter of 1995 by reducing
wholesale investing activities and increasing the proportion of loans to earning
assets. In addition, a greater proportion of the Corporation's funding is 
comprised of more stable and lower-cost retail consumer deposits.

Noninterest income increased 9.8% to $658.1 million reflecting success of
initiatives to expand such sources of revenue. The growth in fee-based revenue
was led by asset management, treasury management, brokerage and corporate
finance. The Corporation expects these businesses to continue to expand during
the second half of 1996. Continued growth will depend on, among other factors,
financial market and general economic conditions.

Noninterest expense increased 3.1% to $1.1 billion and the efficiency ratio
improved to 59.7% compared with 65.1% a year ago. Excluding the impact of
acquisitions, noninterest expense declined 2.4% reflecting the impact of the
Midlantic Corporation ("Midlantic") integration, cost control strategies and
lower Federal deposit insurance premiums. The integration of Midlantic's
operations is proceeding on schedule and will be substantially completed by the
end of the third quarter of 1996. Management continues to expect cost savings
from the integration to exceed its original estimate. The level of noninterest
expense for the remainder of 1996 is expected to remain relatively stable. The
integration of Midlantic and implementation of initiatives to support the
previously announced agreement with the American Automobile Association ("AAA"),
along with other factors, could impact the level of expenses.

corporate financial review


The Corporation's asset quality and coverage ratios remained strong. Net
charge-offs for the second quarter of 1996 were .29% of average loans compared
with .28% in the first quarter of 1996. The allowance for credit losses as a
percent of loans was 2.42% at June 30, 1996. Based on the loan portfolio's
current risk profile, management does not expect to record a provision for
credit losses during the remainder of 1996.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES The financial services industry is challenged by intense
competition. Loan pricing and credit standards are under competitive pressure
as lenders seek to leverage capital and capital markets are becoming more 
accessible to a broader range of borrowers. Traditional deposit activities
are subject to pricing pressures and customer migration as the competition for
consumer investment dollars intensifies among banks and other financial
services companies. In this environment, the Corporation's strategic focus is
on expanding its consumer banking franchise and fee-based businesses,
leveraging national distribution capabilities and utilizing technology to
enhance delivery capabilities and control costs.

In Consumer Banking, which contributes 51% of total line of business earnings,
changes in consumer preferences and technological advancements are transforming
the way the Corporation delivers products and services. Traditional delivery
channels, such as retail branches, are being downsized and replaced with more
technologically advanced, cost-efficient means such as telebanking, automated
teller machines ("ATMs") and on-line banking through personal computers.

The retail branch network has been reduced from 955 branches at December 31, 
1995 to 927 at June 30, 1996 and is expected to approximate 820 by year-end 
1996. Since establishing the centralized telebanking facility, approximately 
240 full-time equivalent ("FTE") employees were added to expand telebanking 
capabilities. The Corporation manages the fifth largest network of ATMs in the 
United States consisting of approximately 1,800 machines, 960 of which are 
located at non-branch sites. By year-end 1996, management expects to have 
approximately 2,100 machines, 1,250 of which will be located at non-branch 
sites.

The agreement with the AAA gives the Corporation the exclusive right to offer
certain financial products and services to the organization's 34 million
members. This agreement represents a significant opportunity for the Corporation
to further expand the national distribution of a wide array of consumer products
and services. Substantially all of these will be offered though alternative
distribution channels thereby leveraging the infrastructure in place.

The Corporation continues to emphasize the growth of fee-based businesses,
particularly asset management and corporate finance. The Corporation's asset
management capabilities are among the largest in the country. Asset Management's
initiatives focus on growing internally and through acquisitions. For example,
the BlackRock Financial Management L.P. ("BlackRock") acquisition in the first
quarter of 1995 added $25 billion of assets under management and the
establishment of CastleInternational, in the first quarter of 1996, expanded
international asset management capabilities. The Corporation is the second
largest U.S. bank manager of mutual funds and one of the largest mutual fund
service providers. During the first half of 1996, discretionary assets under
management increased $8 billion to $104 billion and total assets under
administration increased $23 billion to $305 billion. This growth reflects
success in attracting new institutional and mutual fund servicing relationships
and growth in the value of assets administered.  Compass Capital Funds(SM), the
Corporation's proprietary mutual funds family, consists of 28 fund portfolios
with more than $10.8 billion of assets. These funds provide investors with a
full range of equity, bond and money market investment options. In recognition
of their risk-adjusted performance, the institutional class of 7 of 13 ranked 
portfolios received a four or five star rating from Morningstar.

Corporate Banking initiatives focus is on developing alternatives to 
traditional balance sheet leverage including delivering treasury
management, employee benefit, capital markets, sophisticated risk management
and other products and services sought by corporate customers. Total fee-based 
revenues in Corporate Banking increased 6.6% in the first six months of 1996 
compared to the prior-year period reflecting these initiatives. Investments in 
syndication capabilities contributed to a 7% increase in agented transactions 
and a doubling of fee revenue and volumes underwritten.

In the Mortgage Banking line of business, the focus is on consolidating 
operations and utilizing technology to enhance the efficiency of the operating 
platform. Mortgage Banking also continues to expand its origination 
capabilities leveraging the Corporation's branch distribution network and 
private banking capabilities and by pursuing strategic third party alliances. 
For example, nine regional production processing centers have been consolidated 
into four sites and duplicative and overlapping functions at the Corporation's 
two mortgage servicing centers have been centralized.

The focus in Real Estate Banking is on expanding fee-based revenue through 
distribution of debt to private and institutional investors through 
syndication, private placements and securitization activities. Real Estate 
Banking is among the largest real estate syndicators in the country and 
recently participated in its first commercial mortgage-backed securitization 
issuance.

The Corporation believes the successful execution of its business strategies
will create a higher quality, more stable earnings stream resulting in
increased shareholder value. Such success depends on many factors including
customers' acceptance of the Corporation's alternative delivery systems and
products and services, responses of competitors, including their technological 
advancements, continued successful integration of the Midlantic acquisition, 
and future economic conditions.

o   ASSET MANAGEMENT, through one unified money management organization, 
    provides liquidity, fixed-income, equity management and servicing for
    institutions and mutual funds and customers of Consumer Banking and 
    Corporate Banking.

The Corporation evaluates the performance of lines of business through a
management accounting process which uses various methods of balance sheet and
income statement allocations, transfers and assignments. Line of business
results presented herein reflect each line of business as if it operated on a
stand-alone basis. These results are not necessarily comparable to similar
results for other financial services institutions and differ from financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Asset/liability management activities reflect the residual of the assignment of
wholesale assets and liabilities to the lines of business. These activities
also include securities transactions and the impact of financial derivatives
used for interest rate risk management. Capital is assigned to each business
unit based on management's assessment of inherent risks and equity levels at
independent companies that provide similar products and services. Capital
assignments are not equivalent to regulatory capital guidelines and the total
amount assigned may vary from consolidated shareholders' equity.

Consumer Banking includes: Community Banking which serves small business 
customers and all other consumers who use traditional branch and direct banking 
services; and Private Banking which provides affluent customers with personal 
and charitable trust, brokerage and specialized retail banking financial 
services. 

Consumer Banking earnings accounted for approximately 51% of line of
business earnings in the first half of 1996 and 1995. Earnings increased 24% in
the period-to-period comparison due to the Chemical acquisition, higher net
interest income and consumer service fees while operating expenses remained 
relatively stable.

Average loans in the Consumer Bank increased 17% in the comparison, or 5%
excluding the Chemical acquisition. Net charge-offs were $51 million in the
first half of 1996 compared with $29 million in the prior-year period. The
increase was primarily due to higher credit card charge-offs and acquisitions.
Consumer net charge-offs and delinquencies improved in the second quarter of
1996 compared with the first quarter of 1996 and the fourth quarter of 1995.

Earnings for Community Banking, which includes the Direct Bank's alternative
delivery channels, increased 23% to $222 million as revenues grew 12%. Growth in
net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in earning assets
from the Chemical acquisition.  Excluding the impact of credit card and merchant
services alliances, Community Banking noninterest income increased $34 million
or 27% in the period-to-period comparison. Fee-based revenue growth was
attributable to a broad base of products and services including deposit
accounts, ATM transactions and insurance. Expenses in this segment were
essentially unchanged as the effect of costs associated with the Chemical
acquisition were offset by lower Federal deposit insurance premiums.

Earnings from Private Banking increased 27% in the first six months of 1996 as
new trust business and higher brokerage revenue more than offset expense growth
from sales and marketing activities.

The Corporation continues to undertake initiatives to offer Consumer Banking
products and services nationally by leveraging its alternative delivery
systems.  Through the Direct Bank, products and services are offered via the
telebanking center, ATMs and personal computers. Cost savings from the 
rationalization of the traditional branch delivery network are being reinvested 
in these initiatives.

In January 1996, an agreement was reached with AAA to exclusively offer
financial products and services to the organization's 34 million members. The
agreement provides for an initial term of ten years, with two five-year renewal

options. A full range of consumer products and services will be offered
including credit card, automobile, student, home equity and residential mortgage
loans, as well as deposit account and money market mutual funds. Beginning in
the second half of 1996, these products and services will be marketed in
conjunction with AAA as AAA member clubs enroll and will be delivered primarily
through the Corporation's direct banking channels.

In connection with AAA initiatives, the Corporation canceled an agreement under
which a third party provided administrative and marketing services for the
Corporation's credit card business. Under the agreement, the third party
received fee income and incurred costs related to providing these services. As
a result of canceling this agreement such amounts will be reflected in the
Corporation's results of operations in subsequent periods. Management does not
expect the financial impact to be material.

Corporate Banking includes: Middle Market customers with annual sales of $5 
million to $250 million and those in certain specialized industries; Large 
Corporate customers having annual sales of more than $250 million; and Equity 
Management which includes private equity investments.

Corporate Banking's earnings contributed 29% of total line of business earnings
in the first six months of 1996 and 1995. Corporate Banking earnings increased
$30 million, or 25%, primarily due to higher venture capital gains and a lower
provision allocation. Net interest income was relatively flat in the comparison
as narrower spreads offset earnings from a $840 million increase in average
loans. Excluding venture capital gains, Corporate Banking fee-based revenue
increased 6.6% due to expanded treasury management, corporate finance, and
retirement and investment service activities.

Corporate Banking's traditional spread-based lending business is under intense
competition from banks and nonbanks seeking opportunities to extend credit in a
market with declining demand and narrowing spreads.

Corporate Banking is characterized by higher levels of assigned capital due
to the amount of balance sheet leverage. The Corporation expects revenue in this
line of business to be generated increasingly from fee-based sources to reduce
the amount of assigned capital and improve returns from activities such as
treasury management, capital markets and employee benefit plan services for its
Large Corporate and Middle Market customers.  Corporate Banking's capital
markets capabilities continue to be expanded to meet the changing needs of its
client base. The Corporation has also significantly expanded product
capabilities in the merger and acquisitions advisory, private placement,
interest rate risk management and leasing product areas and is currently
evaluating long-term opportunities in expanded corporate underwriting
activities. Investments in the Corporation's syndications capabilities
contributed to a 7% increase in agented transactions and a doubling of fee
revenue and volume underwritten over the same period last year.

Mortgage Banking contributed 6% of line of business earnings in 1996 and 1995.
Earnings increased 28% to $32 million for the first six months of 1996 compared
with the year-earlier period, primarily due to higher net interest income from
a $1.2 billion increase in portfolio loans. Noninterest income from the
Corporation's mortgage origination and servicing activities declined $29
million primarily as a result of lower sales of servicing rights. Losses on
instruments used to hedge the economic value of mortgage servicing rights
("MSR"). Were offset by lower MSR amortization. Mortgage Banking results 
reflect the impact of significant noncash items. Excluding the effect of these 
items, cash returns currently exceed the Corporation's required return for this 
line of business.

During the first six months of 1996, the Corporation funded $3.0 billion of
residential mortgages of which 63% represented new financing. The comparable
amounts were $2.3 billion and 90%, respectively, in the first six months of
1995.

At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $40.6
billion, had a weighted-average coupon rate of 7.93% and an estimated fair
value of $486 million. The servicing portfolio included $28.1 billion of loans
serviced for others with a fair value of $411 million. Capitalized MSR totaled 
$323 million at June 30, 1996.

The value of MSR is affected, in part, by changes in interest rates. If
interest rates decline and the rate of prepayment increases, the underlying
servicing fee income stream and related MSR fair value would be reduced. 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.

The mortgage banking business continues to be affected by intense competition
and, as a result of higher interest rates, lower demand for mortgage
originations. In this environment, the Corporation continues to pursue several
strategic objectives including the use of advanced, cost-effective technologies,
leveraging processing, underwriting and servicing capabilities and entering into
alliances with third parties to expand the reach of its distribution network.

Real Estate Banking contributed 9% of line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1996 compared with 10% in the first six months of 1995. 
Merger-related efficiencies as well as the decline in workout expenses due 
to lower levels of nonperforming assets more than offset lower revenues. 
Revenues in 1995 include a nonrecurring gain on Midlantic's sale of assets 
held for accelerated disposition.

Real Estate Banking has been driven by balance sheet leverage and required
significant levels of assigned capital. A significant initiative in this line of
business is to alter the business mix to reduce assigned capital and improve
returns. Such initiatives include expanding fee-based revenue through
distribution of debt to institutional investors through loan syndications,
private placements and securitization. It is one of the five largest real estate
syndicators in the U.S. having a leading role in over $800 million of
syndication volume in the first half of 1996. In addition, Real Estate Banking
participated in its first commercial mortgage-backed securitization issuance in
June 1996.

Asset Management contributed 5% of line of business earnings in the first six
months of 1996 compared with 4% a year ago. Noninterest income increased 38%
due to growth in mutual fund and personal trust services, an increase in the
value of administered assets and the acquisition of BlackRock. Noninterest 
expense increased primarily due to BlackRock and an increase in compensation.

New business resulted, in part, from the strong performance of investment
products relative to respective benchmarks. During the first half of 1996,
BlackRock's marketing of its institutional management capabilities resulted in
the addition of over $7 billion in new business. In addition,
CastleInternational, the Corporation's newly created international equity
manager in Edinburgh, Scotland now manages over $1 billion of assets.

The mutual fund servicing business unit continues to attract new business in 
a consolidating market, benefiting from its long-standing association with
innovative and growing fund families. Revenues in the mutual fund servicing 
unit increased 28% in the comparison.

Revenue and earnings from asset management and mutual fund servicing are
included in Asset Management. Revenue and earnings from marketing asset
management products, trust and employee benefit services to Corporate Banking
and Consumer Banking customers are included in those lines of business.

These sources of revenue are primarily affected by the volume of new
business and the value of assets managed or serviced, investment performance 
and financial market conditions. Revenue may be positively affected by strong 
investment performance or improving financial markets. Conversely, declining 
performance or financial markets may adversely affect revenue.

Consolidated net income increased 30.3% to $486.4 million for the first six
months of 1996 reflecting strong revenue growth and expense control. Total
revenue increased 12.4% or $209.5 million to $1.9 billion for the first six
months of 1996 due to a wider net interest margin and growth in fee-based
businesses.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $150.2 million or 13.8% and, 
as a percent of total revenue, was 65.3% and 64.5% in the first six months 
of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The net interest margin widened 60 basis 
points to 3.72% in the first six months of 1996 compared with 3.12% in the 
prior-year period.

The net interest income and margin increases reflect the benefits of the
Chemical acquisition and the balance sheet repositioning. These
changes, combined with loan growth, benefited the margin as higher-yielding
loans replaced lower-yielding securities and rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities declined.

Total interest income declined $132.8 million primarily due to the decline in
average securities. Higher earnings from growth in consumer and commercial
loans partially offset the impact of the lower securities portfolio. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined $200.0 million due to a reduction in
higher-cost wholesale funds and an increase in the proportion of retail
deposits to total sources of funds. The cost of financial derivatives also
declined in the comparison.

The yield on earning assets was relatively flat in the comparison as the
benefits of the change in composition of earning assets offset the adverse
effect of declining yields on loans. The average rate paid on liabilities
declined 36 basis points largely due to the reduction in wholesale funds and an
increase in the proportion of retail deposits supporting earning assets.

Net interest income and margin depend on a number of factors including the
volume and composition of earning assets and related yields along with the cost
of funding such assets. In the first half of 1996 loans comprised 74.1% of the
Corporation's earning assets. Accordingly, loan growth and the related yields
earned have a significant impact on net interest income. During the first six
months of 1996, loan growth and yields earned were tempered by competitive
pricing pressures, the Corporation's underwriting standards, return on capital
expectations and declining demand. The Corporation expects these conditions to
continue. The cost of funding is affected by the composition of and rate paid on
sources of funding. Average deposits comprise 63.1% of the Corporation's total
sources of funding and the remainder is comprised of wholesale funding obtained
at prevailing market rates. The ability to attract and retain deposits will
continue to be affected by competition and customer preferences for higher
yielding products, such as mutual funds.

Noninterest income totaled $658.1 million in the first six months of 1996 and
increased 9.8% compared with the prior-year period. The growth in noninterest
income reflects the Corporation's continuing emphasis on expanding fee-based
businesses. Noninterest income accounted for 34.7% of total revenue in the
first six months of 1996 and 35.5% a year ago.

The decline in credit card and merchant services reflects the impact of
alliances with third parties to provide certain administrative, marketing, data
processing and customer support services for these businesses. Generally, the
third parties receive fee-based revenues and incur operating costs associated
with offering such services. Excluding the impact of these alliances 
noninterest income increased 13.3%.

Noninterest expense increased modestly to $1.1 billion for the first six months
of 1996. The increase was substantially due to acquisitions partially
offset by lower Federal deposit insurance premiums. Excluding acquisitions,
noninterest expense declined 2.4% in the comparison. The efficiency ratio
improved to 59.7% in the first six months of 1996 compared with 65.1% in the
year-earlier period reflecting effective cost control and higher revenue.

Compensation expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions and incentive
compensation in fee-based businesses including asset management and brokerage.
Excluding the addition of 300 FTEs in telebanking and asset management, average
FTEs for the first six months of 1996 declined 700 to 25,170 due to the
integration of Chemical and Midlantic.

Conversion of Midlantic's products and systems are expected to be substantially
completed by the end of the third quarter of 1996. Although the extent and
timing of cost savings from the integration of Midlantic are dependent on
several factors, many of which are outside of management's control, the
Corporation continues to believe it will exceed its original estimate of cost
savings from the consolidation or elimination of overlapping facilities and
operations.

Average assets and earning assets totaled $72.1 billion and $66.0 billion,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with $75.1
billion and $69.5 billion, respectively, in the year-earlier period. The
decline was due to the balance sheet repositioning partially offset by loan
growth.

Loans outstanding increased $570 million from year-end 1995 to $49.2 billion at
June 30, 1996. The composition of the loan portfolio remained relatively
consistent in the comparison and continues to be geographically diversified
among numerous industries and types of business. Unfunded commitments, net of
participations and syndications, increased $4.0 billion, or 11.8%, since
year-end 1995. In addition, the Corporation had letters of credit outstanding
totaling $4.5 billion at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, primarily
consisting of standby letters of credit.

The securities portfolio declined $1.7 billion from year-end 1995 to $14.1
billion at June 30, 1996. The expected weighted average life of the securities
portfolio was 3 years and 1 month at June 30, 1996 compared with 2 years and 8
months at year-end 1995.

At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, $5.5 billion and $6.1 billion,
respectively, notional value of interest rate swaps and caps were associated
with securities available for sale. Securities classified as available for sale
may be sold as part of the overall asset/liability management process. Realized
gains and losses resulting from such sales would be reflected in the results of
operations and would include the fair value of associated financial
derivatives.

The securities portfolio included collateralized mortgage obligations and
mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $5.5 billion and $2.0 billion,
respectively at June 30, 1996. The characteristics of these securities include
principal guarantees, primarily by U.S. Government agencies, and marketability.
Expected lives of such securities can vary as interest rates change. In a
declining interest rate environment, prepayments on the underlying mortgage
securities may accelerate and, therefore, shorten the expected lives.
Conversely, expected lives would lengthen in a rising 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.

Other U.S. Government agencies and Corporation's securities and asset-backed
private placements primarily represent triple A-rated, variable-rate
instruments. The interest rates on these instruments float with various indices
and are limited by periodic and maximum caps. These securities have an initial
specified term. At the end of the initial term, and on a quarterly basis
thereafter, the maturity may be extended to a contractual maturity date or the
security may be called at the option of the issuer.

Other mortgage-related debt securities consist primarily of private label
collateralized mortgage obligations.

Total deposits decreased 4.4% to $44.9 billion at June 30, 1996 compared with
$46.9 billion at year-end 1995. Demand, savings and money market deposits
declined $989 million as consumers sought more attractive yields and due to a
seasonal decline in corporate accounts.

Total borrowed funds and notes and debentures was relatively flat in the
comparison and the change in composition of these categories reflects actions
to utilize the most cost-effective alternatives. The composition of these
sources will vary depending on management's evaluation of the most
cost-effective funding alternatives.

CAPITAL The access to and cost of funding, new business initiatives including
acquisitions, deposit insurance costs, and the level and nature of expanded
regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial institution's capital
strength. The Corporation manages its capital position primarily through the
issuance of debt and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend
policies and retained earnings.

The Corporation had a 24 million common share repurchase plan authorized by the
board of directors in January 1995. The Corporation discontinued all purchases
under that plan with the initiation of the Midlantic merger in July 1995 and
during the second quarter of 1996, formally rescinded that plan.

   15

During the second quarter, approximately 1.6 million common shares were acquired
as part of a systematic program for employee benefit and dividend reinvestment
plans. 

Management is currently evaluating the Corporation's capital position. Factors
being considered include capital adequacy, level of future earnings, balance
sheet growth, alternative capital reinvestment opportunities, and composition of
capital. Future share repurchases and other capital actions, if any, are
dependent on the results of that analysis and board authorization.

The minimum regulatory capital ratios are 4.00% for Tier I, 8.00% for total
risk-based and 3.00% for leverage. However, regulators may require higher
capital levels when a bank's particular circumstances warrant. To be classified
as well capitalized, regulators require capital ratios of at least 6.00% for
Tier I, 10.0% for total risk-based and 5.00% for leverage. At June 30, 1996,
the Corporation and each of its bank affiliates were classified as well
capitalized.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Corporation's ordinary course of business involves varying degrees of risk
taking, the most significant of which are credit, liquidity and interest rate
risk. To manage these risks, the Corporation has risk management processes
designed to provide for risk identification, measurement, monitoring and
control.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT 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 certain
off-balance-sheet financial derivative transactions. The Corporation seeks to
manage credit risk through diversification, utilizing exposure limits to any
single industry or customer, requiring collateral and selling participations to
third parties.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets declined $27 million to $509 million

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES In determining the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses, the Corporation allocates reserves to specific problem loans
based on discounted cash flow analyses or collateral valuations for impaired
loans and to pools of watchlist and non-watchlist loans for various credit risk
factors.

The allowance as a percent of period-end loans and nonperforming loans was
2.42% and 312%, respectively, at June 30, 1996. The comparable year-end 1995
amounts were 2.59% and 352%, respectively.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES Favorable economic conditions, combined with
management's ongoing attention to asset quality, resulted in a stable level of
nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. Based on the loan portfolio's current
risk profile, management does not expect to record a provision for credit
losses during the remainder of 1996. Should the risk profile of the loan
portfolio or the economy deteriorate, asset quality may be adversely impacted
and a provision for credit losses may be required.

Consumer net charge-offs increased $28 million in the comparison primarily due
to acquisitions and an increase in credit card charge-offs.

LIQUIDITY 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 invest in other strategic
initiatives. Liquidity risk represents the likelihood the Corporation would be
unable to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to
satisfy commitments to borrowers, as well as the obligations to depositors and
debtholders. Liquidity is managed through the coordination of the relative
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 securitization of assets such as automobile and credit card loans. 
The ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends on market conditions, 
capital considerations, credit ratings and investor demand, among other factors.

During the first six months of 1996, cash and due from banks decreased $447
million to $3.2 billion compared with an increase of $34 million during the
year-earlier period. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $193
million in the comparison, primarily due to increases in loans held for sale
associated with the Corporation's mortgage banking activities and trading
account securities. Cash provided by investing activities decreased to $2.1
billion compared with $2.2 billion provided a year ago. Net cash used by
financing activities totaled $2.6 billion in the first six months of 1996
compared with $2.5 billion used a year earlier.

Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, short-term investments, loans
held for sale and securities available for sale. At June 30, 1996, such assets
totaled $19.2 billion, of which $8.5 billion was pledged as collateral.
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 June 30, 1996, approximately $6.1 billion of residential mortgages
were available as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB.

The principal source of the parent company's revenues and cash flow is
dividends from its 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 the 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 payment of dividends to PNC Bancorp, Inc. by all bank
subsidiaries was $408 million at June 30, 1996.  Dividends may also be impacted
by capital needs, regulatory requirements and policies, and other factors.

Liquidity for the parent company and its affiliates is also generated through
the issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit.
Under effective shelf registration statements at June 30, 1996, the Corporation
had available $140 million of debt, $300 million of preferred stock and $350
million of securities that may be issued as either debt or preferred stock. In
addition, the Corporation had a $500 million unused committed line of credit.
Funds obtained from any of these sources can be used for both bank and nonbank
activities.

Management believes the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to meet its
current obligations to customers, debtholders and others. The impact of
replacing maturing liabilities is reflected in the income simulation model used
in the Corporation's overall asset/liability management process.

INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk arises primarily through the
Corporation's normal business activities of extending loans and taking
deposits. Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, general
movements in market interest rates, and consumer preferences, affect the spread
between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. Financial
derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, caps and floors, are used to alter
the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities. For example,
receive-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert variable-rate assets to
fixed-rate assets.

In managing interest rate risk, the Corporation seeks to minimize the reliance
on a particular interest rate scenario as a source of earnings. Accordingly,
wholesale activities including securities, funding, financial derivatives and
capital markets activities are used in managing core business exposures within
specified guidelines. Interest rate risk is centrally managed by asset and
liability (A&L) management.

An income simulation model is the primary tool used to assess the direction and
magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest
rates. Key assumptions employed in the model include prepayment speeds on
mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of financial instruments,
changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity,
customer preferences, and management's financial and capital plans. These
assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot
precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of
higher or lower interest rates on net interest income.

The Corporation's guidelines 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. At June 30, 1996,
based on the results of the simulation model, the Corporation was within these
guidelines. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing,
magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market
conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

The Corporation also employs interest sensitivity (gap) analyses to assess
interest rate risk. A gap analysis represents a point-in-time net position of
assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet instruments subject to repricing in
specified time periods. Gap analysis alone does not accurately measure the
magnitude of changes in net interest income since changes in interest rates
over time do not impact all categories of assets, liabilities and
off-balance-sheet instruments equally or simultaneously. The Corporation's
limit for the cumulative one-year gap position is 10%. A cumulative
asset-sensitive gap position indicates assets are expected to reprice more
quickly than liabilities.  Alternatively, a cumulative liability-sensitive gap
position indicates liabilities are expected to reprice more quickly than
assets. At June 30, 1996, the cumulative liability sensitivity of the one-year
gap position was 3.8%.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Corporation has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking
statements with respect to earnings per share, costs savings related to the
Midlantic acquisition, credit quality and other financial and business matters
for 1996 and, in certain instances, subsequent periods. The Corporation
cautions that these forward-looking statements


PNC BANK CORP.  16
   18
corporate financial review


are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and that
statements for periods subsequent to 1996 are subject to greater uncertainty
because of the increased likelihood of changes in underlying factors and
assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from forward-looking
statements.

In addition to those factors previously disclosed by the Corporation and those
factors identified elsewhere herein, the following factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements: continued
pricing pressures on loan and deposit products; actions of competitors; 
changes in economic conditions; the extent and timing of actions of the 
Federal Reserve Board; continued customer disintermediation; customers' 
acceptance of the Corporation's products and services; and the extent and 
timing of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

The Corporation's forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which
such statements are made. By making any forward-looking statements, the
Corporation assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changing or
unanticipated events or circumstances.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

The Corporation uses a variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives as
part of its overall interest rate risk management process to manage the interest
rate risk inherent in the Corporation's line of business activity. 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. 

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. 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. Forward
contracts provide for the delivery of financial instruments at a specified
future date and at a specified price or yield.

During the first six months of 1996, the Corporation added $4.3 billion and
$2.5 billion notional value of receive-fixed interest rate swaps and interest
rate floors, respectively. These contracts are predominantly associated with
variable rate loans and are designed to reduce exposure to declining interest
rates.

In addition, the Corporation terminated $2.1 billion notional value of
receive-fixed index amortizing interest rate swaps and $1.1 billion notional
value of pay-fixed interest rate swaps as part of its overall interest rate risk
management process. The terminations resulted in a $5.3 million loss and $9.2
million gain respectively, which were deferred and are being amortized as an
adjustment to net interest income over remaining periods of 7 months and 12
months, respectively. The following table sets forth the changes in

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution and weighted average
interest rates of financial derivatives used for interest rate risk management.
The expected maturity distribution is based on contractual terms, except with
respect to receive-fixed index amortizing swaps, which are based on implied
forward rates. Implied forward rates are derived from the fair value of the
underlying financial instrument.  Weighted average interest rates represent
implied forward rates and contractual rates in effect at June 30, 1996 based on
the average outstanding notional amount.

     (1) The floating rate portion of interest rate contracts is based on
         money-market indices. As a percent of notional value, 83% were based
         on 3-month LIBOR, 9% on 1-month LIBOR and the remainder on other
         short-term indices.
     (2) Interest rate caps with notional values of $5.5 billion and $30
         million require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, 
         if any, of 3-month LIBOR over 6.50% and 1-month LIBOR over 6.75% , 
         respectively. At June 30, 1996, 3-month LIBOR was 5.58% and the 
         1-month LIBOR was 5.50%.
     (3) Interest rate floors with notional values of $1 billion and $1.5
         billion require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess,
         if any, of 4.80% and 5.00%, respectively, over 3-month LIBOR. At June
         30, 1996, 3-month LIBOR was 5.58%.

      (1) The floating rate portion of interest rate contracts is based on
          money-market indices. As a percent of notional value, 83% were based
          on 3-month LIBOR, 9% on 1-month LIBOR and the remainder on other
          short-term indices.
      (2) Interest rate caps with notional values of $5.5 billion and $30
          million require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if
          any, of 3-month LIBOR over 6.50% and 1-month LIBOR over 6.75% ,
          respectively. At June 30, 1996, 3-month LIBOR was 5.58% and the
          1-month LIBOR was 5.50%.
      (3) Interest rate floors with notional values of $1 billion and $1.5
          billion require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if
          any, of 4.80% and 5.00%, respectively, over 3-month LIBOR. At June 30,
          1996, 3-month LIBOR was 5.58%.

SECOND QUARTER 1996 VS. SECOND QUARTER 1995

Net income for the second quarter of 1996 totaled $248.1 million or $.72 per
fully diluted share, compared with $194.0 million or $.56 per fully diluted
share a year ago. Return on average assets and average common shareholders'
equity improved to 1.38% and 17.33%, respectively, in the second quarter of
1996.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 1996 increased
$85.2 million to $619.9 million and net interest margin widened to 3.72%
compared with $534.7 million and 3.06%, respectively, in the year-earlier
period. The increase in net interest income was due to loan growth, the
Chemical acquisition and the balance sheet repositioning. The improvement in
net interest margin is primarily due to a higher proportion of loans to earning
assets and an increase in lower-cost consumer deposits relative to total
sources of funds.

Noninterest income increased $23.3 million, or 7.4%, to $336.6 million for the
second quarter of 1996 compared with the year-earlier period. Excluding the
impact of alliances in credit card and merchant services, noninterest income
before securities gains increased 13.1%. Asset management and trust revenue
increased $15.4 million or 14.1%, to $124.5 million due to growth in mutual
fund and personal trust services and an increase in the value of assets under
administration. Discretionary assets totaled $104.5 billion at June 30, 1996
compared with $89.3 billion a year ago.

Service fees increased 12.2% to $133.6 million in the second quarter of 1996.
Deposit fees increased $14.1 million primarily due to growth in treasury
management revenue and acquisitions. Brokerage and corporate finance fees
increased 48.8% and 23.7%, respectively. Credit card and merchant services
declined $11.0 million in the quarter-to-quarter comparison as a result of
alliances with third parties for these businesses. Excluding this impact
service fees increased 23.7%.

Mortgage banking revenue declined in the comparison primarily due to lower
servicing sales and the impact of an increasingly competitive market for
mortgage originations. Other noninterest income increased $12.6 million to
$38.8 million, primarily due to higher venture capital income.

Noninterest expense increased 4.0% compared with the second quarter of 1995,
due to acquisitions, investments in alternative delivery capabilities and
incentive compensation related to higher levels of fee-based revenue. The
increases were partially offset by lower Federal deposit insurance premiums.
Excluding acquisitions, noninterest expense declined slightly in the
comparison. The efficiency ratio improved to 59.0% for the second quarter of
1996 compared with 64.0% a year ago.

Average earning assets declined $3.1 billion to $66.4 billion compared to the
second quarter of 1995 due to initiatives to downsize the securities portfolio
and reduce associated wholesale funding. Average securities declined $8.4
billion to $14.7 billion which represents 22.2% of average earning assets
compared with 33.3% a year ago. Average loans increased $4.4 billion to $49.2
billion, representing 74.1% of average earning assets compared with 64.4% a
year ago. Excluding acquisitions, average loans increased 5.0% in the
comparison. Consumer loan growth was tempered by competitive pricing pressures 
and the Corporation's assessment of national asset quality trends in consumer 
lending.

Average deposits increased $1.0 billion to $45.4 billion for the second quarter
of 1996. Higher levels of retail deposits from acquisitions were partially
offset by lower wholesale liabilities. Excluding acquisitions and wholesale
deposits, average deposits increased 1.3% in the comparison. Average deposits
represented 62.6% of total sources of funds in the second quarter of 1996
compared with 58.9% a year ago.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS PNC Bank Corp. provides a broad range of banking and financial
services through its subsidiaries to retail consumers, small businesses and
corporate customers. PNC Bank Corp. is subject to intense competition from
other financial services companies with respect to these services and customers
and is also subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies
and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory authorities.

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and include the accounts of PNC Bank Corp. and its
subsidiaries ("Corporation"), substantially all of which are wholly owned. In
the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. The merger between PNC Bank Corp.
and Midlantic Corporation ("Midlantic") was completed December 31, 1995 and
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, all financial information
has been restated as if the companies were combined for all periods presented.

In preparing the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results will differ from
such estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation's 1995 Annual
Report.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses 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 subjective as it requires material
estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on
impaired loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance
for credit losses on impaired loans is one component of the methodology for
determining the allowance for credit losses.

The remaining components of the allowance for credit losses provide for
estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages, and general
amounts for historical loss experience, uncertainties in estimating losses and
inherent risks in the various credit portfolios.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Primary earnings per common share is calculated by
dividing net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared by the sum
of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the
number of shares of common stock which would be issued assuming the exercise of
stock options during each period. Fully 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.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES In the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of." This Standard requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangible assets, such as goodwill, be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows from the asset and its eventual
disposition.  The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on
the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

In June 1996, SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" was issued, effective for
transactions entered into after December 31, 1996. SFAS No. 125 establishes
rules distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Management is in the process of
evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Corporation's financial
position and results of operations.

CASH FLOWS

For the statement of cash flows, the Corporation defines cash and cash
equivalents as cash and due from banks. The table below sets forth information
pertaining to acquisitions and divestitures which affect cash flows.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On December 31, 1995, Midlantic merged with the Corporation. Each share of
Midlantic common stock outstanding on such date was converted into 2.05 shares
of the Corporation's common stock. The Corporation issued approximately 112
million shares of common stock in connection with the merger. The transaction
was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, all financial
data prior to the merger has been restated as if the entities were combined for
all such periods.

On October 6, 1995, the Corporation acquired Chemical New Jersey Holdings,
Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Chemical Bank New Jersey, N.A. with total
assets of $3.2 billion and retail core deposits of $2.7 billion. The
Corporation paid $492 million in cash and the transaction was accounted for
under the purchase method.

In February 1995, the Corporation acquired BlackRock Financial Management L.P.,
a fixed-income investment management firm with approximately $25 billion in
assets under management at closing. The Corporation paid $71 million in cash
and issued $169 million of unsecured notes.

LITIGATION

A purported class action was filed in 1992 against PNC National Bank ("PNCNB"), 
regarding certain credit card fees charged to Pennsylvania cardholders. On June 
3, 1996, the United States Supreme Court decided a similar case involving 
another credit card issuer in favor of the issuer. Based on this decision, the 
plaintiff in the lawsuit against PNCNB moved to dismiss her appeal from the 
district court's dismissal of the lawsuit, and on June 17, 1996, the Third 
Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal, making final the dismissal of 
the lawsuit.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1     Legal Proceedings

The Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995 ("1995 Form 10-K") includes a description of a purported class action
filed against PNC National Bank ("PNCNB"), regarding certain credit card fees
charged to Pennsylvania cardholders. On June 3, 1996, the United States Supreme
Court decided a similar case involving another credit card issuer in favor of
the issuer. Based on this decision, the plaintiff in the lawsuit against PNCNB
moved to dismiss her appeal from the district court's dismissal of the lawsuit,
and on June 17, 1996, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal,
making final the dismissal of the lawsuit.

The 1995 Form 10-K also includes a description of a purported class action
lawsuit filed against the Corporation and two of its executive officers
alleging violations of federal securities laws and common law relating to
certain disclosures. On August 7, 1996, the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania adopted the magistrate judge's
recommendation and denied defendants' motion to dismiss as to all claims except
