Financial Review

This Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the PNC Bank Corp. and
subsidiaries' ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank") unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Financial Review and audited Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

PNC BANK CORP. The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial
services companies in the United States and operates eight lines of business:
Regional Community Banking, Corporate Banking, National Consumer Banking,
Private Banking, Mortgage Banking, Secured Lending, Asset Management and Mutual
Fund Servicing. Financial products and services are tailored to specific
customer segments and offered nationally and in PNC Bank's primary geographic
markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $550
million compared with $525 million a year ago. Earnings per diluted share
increased 10% to $1.77 for the first six months of 1998 from $1.61 in 1997.
Returns on average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 21.26%
and 1.52% for the first six months of 1998 compared with 19.84% and 1.50%,
respectively, a year ago.

As a result of purchase acquisitions, earnings are reduced by goodwill and other
intangible amortization. Excluding these charges, diluted earnings per share 
for the first six months of 1998 and 1997 were $1.90 and $1.72, respectively.

Total revenue increased $296 million or 14% in the first six months of 1998
driven by growth in noninterest income which represented 47% of total revenue
compared with 41% in the prior-year period. Taxable-equivalent net interest
income increased $23 million from the first six months of 1997. The net interest
margin was 3.88% compared with 3.92% in the prior year. Noninterest income
increased 31% to $1.2 billion in the first six months of 1998 reflecting
significant growth in asset management, mutual fund servicing, consumer
services, corporate finance and capital markets and mortgage banking revenue.

The provision for credit losses was $65 million for the first six months of 1998
compared with $25 million in the prior year.

Noninterest expense increased $228 million or 18% in the first six months of
1998 commensurate with revenue growth and the impact of investments in the
consumer banking franchise. The efficiency ratio, computed excluding
distributions on capital securities, was 61.5% for the first six months of 1998
compared with 59.8% a year ago.

Average earning assets increased $1.9 billion from the prior year to $65.9
billion as higher loans and loans held for sale more than offset reductions in
the securities portfolio. Loans represented 83.0% of average earning assets
compared with 81.8% a year ago.

Shareholders' equity totaled $5.6 billion at June 30, 1998. The leverage ratio
was 7.18% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.24% and 10.79%,
respectively.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed assets was .57% at
June 30, 1998 and .61% at December 31, 1997. The allowance for credit losses was
315% of nonperforming loans and 1.53% of total loans at June 30, 1998 compared
with 352% and 1.79%, respectively, at December 31, 1997. Net charge-offs were
 .66% of average loans for the first six months of 1998 compared with .46% for
the first six months of 1997. The increase was primarily associated with higher
credit card outstandings and lower collections.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES On April 3, 1998, PNC Bank completed the
acquisition of Midland Loan Services, L.P. ("Midland"), one of the nation's
largest servicers of commercial mortgages with a total servicing portfolio of
approximately $28 billion. This transaction greatly expands PNC Bank's
commercial real estate financial services capabilities, which now include
origination, securitization, servicing, investment advisory and risk management.

On April 15, 1998, the Corporation completed the acquisition of the asset-based
finance business of BTM Capital Corp. ("BTM"). The purchase included a $600
million portfolio of asset-based loans and loan commitments and regional sales
offices. This transaction is consistent with the strategy of growing this
business on a national basis.

On July 31, 1998, PNC Bank completed the acquisition of The Arcand Company,
subsequently renamed the Columbia Housing Corporation ("Columbia"). Columbia is
a leading tax credit syndicator, principally engaged in the origination and
distribution of affordable housing limited partnerships. Investment funds
syndicated and managed by Columbia include properties in 43 states comprising
more than 22,000 units with a value in excess of $1 billion.

On August 4, 1998, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to sell
its corporate trust and escrow business, which includes serving as indenture
trustee for municipal and corporate debt and as agent for escrow arrangements,
to Chase Manhattan Trust Company, N.A. The transaction is expected to close in
the fourth quarter of 1998, subject to regulatory approvals.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES Financial services providers today are challenged by intense
competition, changing customer demands, increased pricing pressures and the
ongoing impact of deregulation. Traditional loan and deposit activities face
particularly challenging competitive pressures as both banks and nonbanks
compete for customers with access to a broad array of banking, investment and
capital markets products. Many of these traditional businesses have moderate
growth expectations and require significant capital to support balance sheet
leverage that entails credit and interest rate risk.

PNC Bank has responded to these challenges by transitioning to an organization
comprised of distinct lines of business with highly focused customer segments.
This approach provides the basis for differentiated businesses capable of
competing in today's environment where banks and other financial service
providers seek the same customers.

The Corporation has focused on altering the business mix by investing in
specialized financial services businesses including asset management, mutual
fund servicing, private banking, mortgage banking, treasury management and
capital markets. These businesses are largely fee-based, less capital intensive
and have superior growth outlooks on a national scale. More meaningful
contributions from these businesses, coupled with disciplined management of
traditional banking activities, expansion of national distribution capabilities
and reduction of wholesale leverage activities have allowed PNC Bank to
significantly improve the composition of the earnings stream.

REGIONAL COMMUNITY BANKING provides financial products and services to small
business and retail customers within PNC Bank's geographic footprint. Regional
Community Banking employs information and customer knowledge to identify and
meet consumer preferences for traditional and technology-based products and
services that are distributed through retail branches and alternative
distribution channels.

CORPORATE BANKING provides credit, capital markets and treasury management
products and services to large and mid-size businesses, institutions and
government entities. Teams of specialists focus on specific industry segments,
including communications, health care, public finance, large corporate,
financial institutions, energy, metals and mining and emerging growth.

NATIONAL CONSUMER BANKING provides consumer products and services through
technologically advanced cost efficient channels. National Consumer Banking
focuses on nationwide distribution of products and services through affinity
relationships.

PRIVATE BANKING offers personalized investment management, brokerage, personal
trust, estate planning and traditional banking services for the affluent;
investment management services for the ultra-affluent through Hawthorn; and PNC
Bank's institutional trust businesses.

MORTGAGE BANKING originates and services residential mortgages. Mortgage Banking
focuses on expanding retail distribution channels, increasing the mortgage
servicing portfolio and expanding sales of related products including second
mortgages, home equity lines of credit, credit cards and insurance.

SECURED LENDING is engaged in commercial real estate finance, including loan
origination, securitization, and servicing through Midland, asset-based
financing through PNC Business Credit and equipment leasing within PNC Bank's
primary geographic markets and nationally.

ASSET MANAGEMENT offers fixed income, domestic and international equity and
liquidity products. BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock") represents the recent
combination of PNC Bank's investment advisory and asset management capabilities
under a single organization and brand. This integration created one of the
largest asset managers in the country, leveraging the BlackRock Financial
Management reputation as an established fixed income manager. BlackRock is
focused on expanding marketing and delivery channels for a wide range of
institutional and retail investment products.

MUTUAL FUND SERVICING provides institutional money managers, brokerage firms,
pension managers and insurance companies custom products, including accounting
and administration, transfer agency, custody, securities lending and central
asset account services. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") is the second largest mutual fund
accounting agent and the fourth largest mutual fund transfer agent in the United
States. This business is focused on domestic, off-shore and alternative pooled
investment servicing capabilities.

Financial Review



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

PNC Bank has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking statements
with respect to financial performance and other financial and business matters.
The Corporation cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which change over time and
the Corporation assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements. Actual
results could differ materially from forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed by the Corporation and those
identified elsewhere in this Financial Review, the following factors, among
others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking
statements: the inability of the Corporation or others to remediate Year 2000
concerns in a timely fashion; continued pricing pressures on loan and deposit
products; increased credit risk; the success and timing of AAA and other
business initiatives and strategies, several of which are in early stages and
therefore susceptible to greater uncertainty than more mature businesses;
competition; the ability to realize cost savings or revenues and implement
integration plans associated with acquisitions and divestitures at the levels
and within the time periods contemplated; changes in economic conditions; market
volatility; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices;
continued customer disintermediation; customers' acceptance of PNC Bank's
products and services; and the extent and timing of technological advancement,
capital management activities, actions of the Federal Reserve Board and
legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.


                                  PNC BANK CORP.

LINE OF BUSINESS REVIEW

Financial results for PNC Bank's lines of business are derived from the
Corporation's management accounting system. Line of business information is
based on management accounting practices which conform to and support PNC Bank's
current management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar
information for any other financial services institution.

In the second quarter of 1998, Asset Management and Mutual Fund Servicing was
segregated into two distinct lines of business and the institutional trust
business and Hawthorn were realigned with Private Banking. Results for the first
six months of 1998 and 1997 are presented consistent with this new structure.
The benefit from the sale of an equity interest to BlackRock management is
included in corporate administration and other unassigned.

The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income
statement assignments and transfers to measure business unit performance.
Assignments and transfers change from time to time as the management accounting
system is enhanced and business or product lines change. There is no
comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting
equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. 

Financial statements for the lines of business do not necessarily use the 
same classifications as the consolidated financial statements. The financial 
results presented herein reflect each line of business as if it operated on a
stand-alone basis. Securities or borrowings and related interest rate spreads
have been assigned to the lines of business based on their net asset or
liability positions.

Total line of business financial results differ from consolidated financial
results primarily due to eliminations, different provision for credit loss
methodologies and corporate administration and other unassigned items.
Eliminations offset transactions between the lines of business which primarily
relate to assigned securities or borrowings. Corporate administration and other
unassigned includes holding company revenue, expenses and other items not
assigned in the management accounting process.

Capital is assigned to each business unit based on management's assessment of
inherent risks and equity levels at independent companies providing similar
products and services. As a result, total capital assigned will differ from
consolidated shareholders' equity.

========================================== ========== ==========

Regional Community Banking contributed 45% of total line of business earnings in
the first six months of 1998 compared with 42% for the first six months of 1997.
Earnings of $222 million included gains on the sales of 16 branches in Western
Pennsylvania that offset one-time costs primarily related to consumer delivery
initiatives. Excluding these items, earnings increased $8 million or 4% and
performance ratios improved due to strategies designed to respond to customer
behavior while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery
system. As a result of these strategies, noninterest expense before the one-time
costs in 1998 declined $30 million or 7% compared with the prior year. Net
interest income declined in the current period due to loan spread compression
and the impact of consumer migration to higher cost deposit products.

Regional Community Banking seeks to grow revenue through targeted marketing
efforts and will continue initiatives designed to leverage technology and reduce
the cost of the delivery system.

Credit-related revenue primarily represents net interest income from loans and
remained flat in the comparison. Noncredit revenue which includes noninterest
income and the benefit of compensating balances in lieu of fees increased $58
million or 38% in the first six months of 1998 reflecting growth in treasury
management, capital markets and venture capital income. Expenses were stable
reflecting the continued focus on operating overhead as the efficiency ratio
declined to 47% in the first six months of 1998. The increase in the provision
for credit losses reflects the impact of net recoveries in the first six months
of 1997.

========================================== ========== =========

National Consumer Banking incurred a loss of $35 million in the first six months
of 1998 resulting from credit card and AAA which have been unfavorably impacted
primarily by intense competition and changing consumer credit conditions.
Earnings for 1997 included $61 million of nonrecurring gains. Excluding these
gains, earnings declined $26 million in the year-to-year comparison reflecting
higher credit costs.

The provision for credit losses increased $48 million as a result of higher
credit card outstandings and lower collections. Management has undertaken
enhanced collection efforts and a more focused marketing strategy directed at
PNC Bank's geographic footprint and affinity relationships. As a result, the
growth rate in credit card outstandings has declined and net charge-offs are
expected to remain relatively stable during the remainder of 1998.

The challenge in National Consumer Banking is to improve returns to appropriate
levels within a reasonable timeframe. Management is aggressively pursuing
actions designed to enhance returns on the capital invested in this line of
business.

Private Banking revenue is primarily affected by the volume of new business, the
value of assets managed, investment performance and financial market conditions.
Revenue may be positively affected by strong investment performance or improving
financial markets. Conversely, declining performance or deteriorating financial
markets may have an adverse effect on revenue.

Mortgage Banking contributed 6% of total line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1998 compared with 2% for the first six months of 1997. Earnings
increased $20 million to $32 million in the first six months of 1998 primarily
due to higher business volumes.

Revenue and expense growth in the first six months of 1998 resulted from higher
loan origination volume, reflecting significant mortgage refinance activity, new
business from an expanded national distribution network, and a larger servicing
portfolio.

During the first six months of 1998 Mortgage Banking funded $5.3 billion of
residential mortgages with 66% representing retail originations. The comparable
amounts were $2.4 billion and 71%, respectively, in the first six months of
1997. The year-to-year increase reflects the combination of higher refinance
activity and initiatives to expand retail origination capabilities.

========================================== ========= ==========

At June 30, 1998 the mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $46.6 billion,
including $37.9 billion of loans serviced for others, with a weighted-average
coupon of 7.84% and an estimated fair value of $592 million. Capitalized
mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") totaled $509 million at June 30, 1998.

MSR value and amortization are affected by changes in interest rates. If
interest rates decline and the rate of prepayment increases, the underlying
servicing fees and related MSR value would also decline. Higher prepayment
activity resulted in higher amortization in 1998. In a period of rising interest
rates, a converse relationship would exist. The Corporation seeks to manage this
risk by using financial instruments with values that move in the opposite
direction of MSR value changes.

Secured Lending contributed 12% of total line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1998 compared with 14% in the prior-year period. Excluding the
impact of the Midland integration and $11 million of nonrecurring gains in 1997,
earnings increased 14% driven by growth in loans and noninterest income.
Noninterest expense grew $25 million in the year-to-year comparison primarily
due to Midland. Continued improvement in credit quality also contributed to the
increase in earnings in the first six months of 1998.

The Corporation expects the acquisitions of Midland, BTM and Columbia to provide
additional revenue growth opportunities and be accretive to earnings in 1998.
These acquisitions reflect the strategy to reduce balance sheet leverage,
increase noninterest income and expand nationally.

Asset Management contributed 4% of total line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1998 compared with 2% for the first six months of 1997. Earnings
increased 80% in the first six months of 1998 driven by higher assets under
management reflecting new business generated by BlackRock as a result of strong
investment performance and technology-based risk management capabilities.

During the first six months of 1998 PNC Bank's fixed income, equity and
liquidity businesses were consolidated under BlackRock. This combination created
one of the largest asset managers in the United States focused on expanding
marketing and delivery channels for a wide range of institutional and retail
investment products.

Asset Management revenue is primarily affected by the volume of new business,
the value of assets managed, investment performance and financial market
conditions. Revenue may be positively affected by strong investment performance
or improving financial markets. Conversely, declining performance or
deteriorating financial markets may have an adverse effect on revenue.

===============================================================

NET INTEREST INCOME Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $23 million
from the first six months of 1997. The net interest margin was 3.88% compared
with 3.92% in the prior-year period. Changes in net interest income and margin
result from the interaction between the volume and composition of earning
assets, related yields and associated funding costs. Accordingly, portfolio
size, composition and related yields earned and rates paid can have a
significant impact on net interest income and margin.

The increase in net interest income was due to a $1.9 billion increase in
average earning assets which more than offset a narrower net interest margin.
Average loans grew 4.5% to $54.7 billion, a $2.3 billion increase from the prior
year. Growth in commercial loans and credit cards more than offset the impact of
loan securitizations and the downsizing of the indirect automobile lending
portfolio. The increase in average loans held for sale was $1.4 billion
reflecting higher residential mortgage originations and the commercial mortgage
inventory of Midland.

The narrowing of the net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in
commercial loans and loans held for sale as well as declining spreads resulting
from competitive pressures on certain loan and deposit products. Partially
offsetting these unfavorable factors was a decrease of $2.0 billion in average
securities available for sale which represented 11% of average earning assets
compared with 15% a year ago.

Funding cost is affected by the composition of and rates paid on various funding
sources. Average deposits comprised 60.9% and 63.0% of PNC Bank's total sources
of funding for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, with
the remainder primarily comprised of wholesale funding obtained at prevailing
market rates.

Management anticipates modest balance sheet growth and continued competitive
pressure on the net interest margin throughout the remainder of 1998.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The provision for credit losses was $65 million in
the first six months of 1998 compared with $25 million in the prior-year period.
Management anticipates the Corporation will record higher provisions for credit
losses throughout the remainder of 1998.

NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income increased $272 million or 31% in the first
six months of 1998. Noninterest income in the current period included $56
million of gains from the sales of 16 branches in Western Pennsylvania that
offset one-time costs related to consumer delivery initiatives and improvements
in credit card operations. Excluding these gains, noninterest income
increased 25% in the year-to-year comparison.

Asset management fees increased 28% primarily due to new business. Assets under
management increased 24% to $151 billion at June 30, 1998 compared with $122
billion a year ago. Mutual fund servicing fees also grew 24% resulting from an
increase in assets and accounts serviced.

Consumer services revenue increased 20% primarily due to higher credit card fees
related to growth in accounts. Corporate finance and capital markets fees
increased $20 million including $12 million of commercial mortgage servicing
revenue from Midland.

Mortgage banking revenue grew primarily due to higher marketing gains and
origination volume reflecting significant mortgage refinance activity and new
business in the first six months of 1998.

Net securities gains were $26 million in the first six months of 1998 including
$12 million resulting from MSR hedging activities. Other noninterest income
increased primarily due to the branch gains and higher venture capital income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense increased $228 million or 18% in the
first six months of 1998. Approximately $55 million of the increase related to
one-time costs for consumer delivery initiatives, employee displacements and the
streamlining of credit card operations. The remaining increase in noninterest
expense was primarily due to higher MSR amortization, incentive compensation
commensurate with growth in fee-based revenue, the impact of Midland and higher
marketing costs associated with National Consumer Banking initiatives. Average
full-time equivalent employees totaled approximately 25,100 in the first six
months of 1998 compared with 24,600 in the prior-year period.

Loan portfolio composition continues to be geographically diversified among
numerous industries and types of businesses and remained relatively consistent
in the comparison. As the Corporation's businesses evolve, the loan portfolio is
expected to remain diversified. Management anticipates modest loan portfolio
growth throughout the remainder of 1998.

Financial Review


Securities available for sale may be sold as part of the overall asset/liability
management process. Realized gains and losses are reflected in the results of
operations and include gains or losses on associated financial derivatives.
Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income. No
financial derivatives were designated to securities available for sale at June
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

FUNDING SOURCES Deposits were $47.1 billion at June 30, 1998, a decline of $553
million from December 31, 1997. An $866 million increase in borrowed funds from
$19.6 billion at year-end 1997 was primarily the result of increases in bank
notes and senior debt, repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds partially
offset by a decline in federal funds purchased. During the first six months of
1998, the Corporation issued $500 million of bank notes under the Euro
medium-term bank note program. Subsequent to quarter end, an additional $300
million of bank notes were issued under this program.

CAPITAL The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, deposit insurance costs, ability to pay dividends and the level
and nature of regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial
institution's capital strength. The minimum regulatory capital ratios are 4% for
Tier I risk-based, 8% for total risk-based and 3% for leverage. However,
regulators may require higher capital levels when particular circumstances
warrant. To qualify as well capitalized, regulators require banks to maintain
capital ratios of at least 6% for Tier I, 10% for total risk-based and 5% for
leverage. At June 30, 1998, the Corporation and each bank subsidiary met the
well capitalized capital ratio requirements.

The capital position is managed through balance sheet size and composition,

policies and retention of earnings.

In April 1998, the Corporation issued $140 million of 6.5% subordinated notes
that qualify as Tier II risk-based capital. In June 1998, the Corporation issued
$200 million of floating rate mandatorily redeemable capital securities bearing
interest at a rate per annum equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 57 basis points. The
rate in effect at June 30, 1998 was 6.2575%. These mandatorily redeemable
capital securities qualify as Tier I risk-based capital.

In May 1998, the Corporation called $39 million of 8.25% convertible
subordinated debentures at par redeemable in June. Prior to the redemption date,
these debentures were converted into common stock at a conversion price of
$23.41. The conversion of these debentures resulted in a corresponding increase
in shareholders' equity.

During the first six months of 1998, PNC Bank repurchased 3.7 million shares of
common stock. The Corporation's board of directors authorized in April 1998 the
repurchase of up to 10 million shares of common stock through April 30, 1999.
Approximately 9.3 million shares remain under this authorization.

YEAR 2000

The Corporation has been working since 1995 to prepare its computer systems and
applications to meet the year 2000 issues. This process involves reviewing,
modifying and replacing existing hardware, software and non-information
technology systems, as necessary, and communicating with external service
providers and customers to determine whether they are addressing their year 2000
issues. The Corporation is also assessing the potential for computer systems of
third parties such as vendors, customers, governmental entities and others to
impact the Corporation's business operations. The Corporation has not identified
any material third party problems to date, but continues to assess the
situation. 

Given the Corporation's common technology infrastructure and the progress made
to date, management estimates the review and modification of its computer
systems, applications and non-information technology systems will be
substantially completed by December 31, 1998. Currently, approximately 56% of
the Corporation's mainframe, mid-range and PC client-server systems have been
tested and returned to production as year 2000 ready. The Corporation is also
taking steps designed to appraise the year 2000 preparedness of its mission
critical service providers and has plans to run tests with some of its service
providers during 1999.

The estimated total cost to become year 2000 compliant, which is being expensed
as incurred, is approximately $30 million. Through June 30, 1998 the Corporation
has expensed approximately $14 million related to the year 2000 effort and
anticipates that approximately 50% of the remaining costs will be incurred
during the second half of 1998.

Failure of the Corporation or third parties to correct year 2000 issues could
cause disruption of operations resulting in increased operating costs and other
adverse effects. In addition, to the extent customers' financial positions are
weakened as a result of year 2000 issues, credit quality could be affected. It
is not possible to predict with certainty all of the adverse effects that may
result from a failure of the Corporation or third parties to become fully year
2000 compliant or whether such effects could have a material impact on the
Corporation.

RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes various types of risk,
the most significant of which are credit, liquidity and interest rate risk.
Market risk is also inherent in the Corporation's business operations. Market
risk is the risk of loss associated with adverse changes in the fair value of
financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
equity prices. To manage these risks, PNC Bank has risk management processes
designed to provide for risk identification, measurement, monitoring and
control.

CREDIT RISK Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer or
counterparty may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk
is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit
to customers, purchasing securities and entering into off-balance-sheet
financial derivative transactions. The Corporation seeks to manage credit risk
through diversification, limiting exposure to any single industry or customer
and requiring collateral or selling participations to third parties.

were no restructured loans outstanding as of either period end presented.

Subsequent to June 30, 1998, affiliates of the Allegheny Health, Education and
Research Foundation filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. PNC Bank has net credit exposure to these bankrupt affiliates
of approximately $80 million which is expected to become a nonperforming asset
in the third quarter of 1998. Management does not anticipate that this matter
will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results
of operations.

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

LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity represents an institution's ability to generate cash or
otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers
and demands of depositors and debtholders and to invest in strategic
initiatives. Liquidity risk represents the possibility the Corporation would be
unable to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy
such obligations or investments in strategic initiatives. Liquidity risk is
managed through the coordination of the expected maturities of assets,
liabilities and off-balance-sheet positions and is enhanced by the ability to
raise funds in capital markets through direct borrowing or asset
securitizations. The ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends,
among other factors, on credit ratings, market conditions, capital
considerations and investor demand.

Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, short-term investments, loans
held for sale and securities available for sale. At June 30, 1998, such assets
totaled $14.1 billion, with $4.8 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing,
trust and other commitments. Liquidity is also provided by residential mortgages
which may be used as collateral for funds obtained through the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") system. At June 30, 1998, approximately $4.3 billion of
residential mortgages were available as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB.
In addition, bank affiliates have access to funds as issuers of unsecured notes
in domestic and foreign markets.

During the first six months of 1998, cash and due from banks decreased $2.2
billion to $2.1 billion compared with a decrease of $340 million during the
year-earlier period. Net cash used by operating activities totaled $606 million
in the first six months of 1998 compared with $386 million provided a year
earlier. Investing activities used net cash of $2.2 billion in the first six
months of 1998 compared with $1.2 billion provided in the first six months of
1997. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $556 million in the
first six months of 1998 compared with $1.9 billion used a year earlier.

The principal source of parent company revenue and cash flow is dividends from
subsidiary banks. PNC Bancorp, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent
company and is the holding company for all bank subsidiaries. There are legal
limitations on the ability of bank subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other
distributions to PNC Bancorp, Inc. and in turn the parent company. Without
regulatory approval, the amount available for dividend payments to PNC Bancorp,
Inc. by all bank subsidiaries was $785 million at June 30, 1998. Dividends may
also be impacted by capital needs, regulatory requirements, corporate policies,
contractual restrictions and other factors.

Liquidity for the parent company and subsidiaries is also generated through the
issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit. The
Corporation has unused capacity under effective shelf registration statements of
approximately $1.3 billion of debt and equity securities and $400 million of
trust preferred capital securities. During the first six months of 1998, the
Corporation issued $140 million of subordinated debt and $200 million of trust
preferred capital securities. In addition, the Corporation had a $500 million
unused line of credit.

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

INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation's
core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. Many
factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in market
interest rates and consumer preferences affect the spread between interest
earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. In managing interest rate
risk, the Corporation seeks to minimize its reliance on a particular interest
rate scenario as a source of earnings, while maximizing net interest income and
net interest margin. To achieve these objectives, the Corporation uses
securities purchases and sales, long-term and short-term funding vehicles,
financial derivatives and other capital markets instruments.

Interest rate risk is centrally managed by Asset and Liability ("A&L")
Management. The Corporation actively measures and monitors all components of
interest rate risk including term structure or repricing risk, yield curve or
nonparallel rate shift risk, basis risk and options risk. Senior management's
Corporate Asset & Liability Committee ("ALCO") provides strategic direction to
A&L Management and, in doing so, reviews capital markets activities and interest
rate risk exposures. The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors is
responsible for overseeing the Corporation's interest rate risk management
process.

The Corporation measures and manages both the short-term and long-term effects
of changing interest rates. A net interest income simulation model is used to
measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates over
the next twenty-four month period; and an economic value of equity model is used
to measure the sensitivity of the value of existing on-balance-sheet and
off-balance-sheet positions to changing interest rates.

Financial Review


The income simulation model is the primary tool used to measure the direction
and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in
interest rates. Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to changes
in interest rates requires that the Corporation make assumptions about the
volume and characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing
positions. These business assumptions are based on the Corporation's experience,
line of business plans and published industry experience with input by key line
of business managers. Any significant changes in major assumptions are reviewed
by ALCO. This review includes an assessment of the motivation for the change and
its effect on the simulated results. Key assumptions employed in the model
include prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets and consumer loans, loan
volumes and pricing, deposit volumes and pricing, the expected life and
repricing characteristics of nonmaturity loans and deposits and management's
financial and capital plans.

Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, the model cannot precisely
estimate net interest income or precisely predict the effect of higher or lower
interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated
results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, the
difference between actual experience and the assumed volume and characteristics
of new business and the behavior of existing positions, and changes in market
conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

The Corporation's interest rate risk management policies provide that net
interest income should not decrease by more than 3% if interest rates gradually
increase or decrease from current rates by 100 basis points over a twelve-month
period. Through the first six months of 1998, the Corporation's interest rate
risk exposures were consistently within policy limits. At June 30, 1998, if
interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points over the next twelve months,
net interest income would decline by 0.7%. If interest rates were to decrease by
100 basis points over the next twelve months, net interest income would increase
by 0.1%.

The Corporation models additional interest rate scenarios covering a wider range
of rate movements to identify yield curve, term structure and basis risk
exposures. These scenarios are developed based on historical rate relationships
or management's expectations regarding the future direction and level of
interest rates. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these
scenarios may be modeled more or less frequently. Such analyses are used in
conjunction with the income simulation model and economic value of equity model
to identify inherent risk and develop appropriate strategies.

The Corporation measures the sensitivity of the value of its balance sheet and
off-balance sheet positions to movements in interest rates using an economic
value of equity sensitivity model. The model computes the value of all current
on- balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions under a range of instantaneous
interest rate changes. The resulting change in the value of equity is the
measure of overall long-term interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation's
existing on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions. The Corporation uses
the economic value of equity model to complement the income simulation modeling
process.

The Corporation's risk management policies provide that the change in economic
value of equity should not decline by more than 1.5% as a percentage of the book
value of assets for a 200 basis point instantaneous increase or decrease in
interest rates.

Economic value of equity sensitivities are periodically reported to ALCO and the
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on the results of the
economic value of equity model at June 30, 1998, if interest rates were to
increase by 200 basis points, the economic value of existing on-balance-sheet
and off-balance-sheet positions would decline by 0.48% of assets. If interest
rates were to decrease by 200 basis points, the economic value of existing
on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions would decline by 0.16% of
assets.

MARKET RISK Most of PNC Bank's trading activities are designed to provide
capital markets services for Corporate Banking and Private Banking customers.
While some market risk exposure is a necessary outgrowth of providing services
to customers, the performance of PNC Bank's trading operations is predominantly
based on providing services to customers and not on positioning the
Corporation's portfolio for gains from market movements.

PNC Bank's market risk is predominantly related to interest rate risk associated
with normal loan and deposit taking. Market risk associated with trading,
capital markets and foreign exchange activities is managed using a value-at-risk
approach that combines interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, spread
risk and volatility risk. Exposure is measured as the maximum loss due to a two
standard deviation one day move. The combined period-end value-at-risk of all
trading operations was less than $300 thousand.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

A variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives are used as part of the
overall interest rate risk management process to manage interest rate risk
inherent in the Corporation's line of business activities. Interest rate swaps
and purchased interest rate caps and floors are the primary instruments used for
these purposes. Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange fixed and
floating interest rate payments calculated on a notional principal amount. The
floating rate is based on a money market index, primarily short-term LIBOR
indices. Purchased interest rate caps and floors are agreements where, for a
fee, the counterparty agrees to pay the Corporation the amount, if any, by which
a specified market interest rate exceeds or is less than a defined rate applied
to a notional amount, respectively.

Forward contracts provide for the delivery of financial instruments at a
specified future date and at a specified price or yield. Such contracts are
primarily used to manage risk positions associated with certain mortgage banking
activities.

Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, interest rate and credit risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet, but less than the
notional amount of the contract. For interest rate swaps, caps and floors, only
periodic cash payments and, with respect to caps and floors, premiums, are
exchanged. Therefore, cash requirements and exposure to credit risk are
significantly less than the notional value.

The following table sets forth changes in off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives used for interest rate risk management and mortgage banking
activities during the first six months of 1998.

(1) The floating rate portion of interest rate contracts is based on
    money-market indices. As a percent of notional value, 69% were based on
    1-month LIBOR, 25% on 3-month LIBOR and the remainder on other short-term
    indices.

(2) Interest rate caps with notional values of $261 million, $166 million and
    $202 million require the counterparty to pay the excess, if any, of 3-month
    LIBOR over a weighted-average strike of 6.32%, 1-month LIBOR over a
    weighted-average strike of 5.92% and Prime over a weighted-average strike of
    8.83%, respectively.

(3) Interest rate floors with notional values of $4.6 billion and $2.8 billion
    require the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess, if any, of the
    weighted-average strike of 4.99% over 3-month LIBOR and the weighted-average
    strike of 5.57% over 10-year CMT, respectively.

At June 30, 1998, 1-month LIBOR was 5.66%, 3-month LIBOR was 5.72%, Prime was
8.5% and 10-year CMT was 5.44%.

SECOND QUARTER 1998 VS.
     SECOND QUARTER 1997

Net income for the second quarter of 1998 totaled $280 million or $.90 per
diluted share compared with $259 million or $.81 per diluted share a year ago.
Returns on average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 21.42%
and 1.53%, respectively, in the second quarter of 1998 compared with 20.21% and
1.47% in the prior-year quarter.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $16 million to $637 million in
the second quarter of 1998. The net interest margin was 3.81% compared with
3.84% in the year-earlier period and 3.96% in the first quarter of 1998. The
decrease from the first quarter was primarily due to an increase in commercial
loans, growth in credit cards at introductory rates and the financing of the
Midland acquisition.

The provision for credit losses was $35 million in the second quarter of 1998
compared with $15 million last year.

Noninterest income was $611 million in the second quarter of 1998, an increase
of 38% compared with the second quarter of 1997. Asset management, mutual fund
servicing, consumer services, corporate finance and capital markets, and
mortgage banking revenues all grew in excess of 20%. In addition, noninterest
income included $56 million of gains from the sales of 16 branches in Western
Pennsylvania that offset one-time costs related to consumer delivery initiatives
and improvements in credit card operations. Excluding these gains, noninterest
income increased $110 million or 25% from the prior-year quarter.

Asset management and mutual fund servicing fees grew 24% and 30%, respectively,
from the second quarter of 1997 reflecting significant new business and strong
financial markets.

Consumer services revenue increased $17 million or 23% compared with the second
quarter of 1997 primarily due to higher credit card and brokerage fees related
to growth in accounts.

Corporate finance and capital markets fees increased 33% to $67 million in the
second quarter of 1998 including $12 million of commercial mortgage servicing
revenue from Midland.

Mortgage banking revenue grew $40 million from the prior-year quarter primarily
due to higher marketing gains and origination volumes reflecting significant
mortgage refinance activity and new business from an expanded national
distribution network. Residential mortgage originations totaled $3.0 billion
compared with $1.3 billion in the year-earlier period.

The increase in other income was primarily due to the branch gains and higher
venture capital income.

Noninterest expense of $781 million increased $131 million compared with the
second quarter of 1997. Approximately $55 million of the increase related to
one-time costs for consumer delivery initiatives, employee displacements and the
streamlining of credit card operations. The remaining increase in noninterest
expense was primarily due to higher amortization of residential MSR, the impact
of the Midland acquisition and incentive compensation commensurate with revenue
growth.

Total assets were $75.9 billion at June 30, 1998. Average earning assets
increased $2.5 billion from the prior-year quarter to $66.7 billion as higher
loans and loans held for sale more than offset reductions in the securities
portfolio. Average loans grew $2.5 billion to $55.3 billion, a 4.8% increase
from the prior year. Growth in commercial loans and credit cards more than
offset the impact of loan securitizations and the downsizing of the indirect
automobile lending portfolio. The increase in commercial loans was primarily in
middle market and secured lending. Loans represented 83.0% of average earning
assets in the second quarter of 1998 compared with 82.3% a year ago. Average
loans held for sale increased $1.5 billion reflecting higher residential
mortgage originations and the commercial mortgage inventory of Midland. Average
securities available for sale decreased $1.7 billion to $7.3 billion or 11.0% of
average earning assets.

Average deposits declined $645 million to $44.2 billion in the second quarter of
1998 representing 60.0% of total sources of funds. The ratio of wholesale funds
to total sources of funds was 30.1% for the second quarter of 1998 compared with
28.9% a year ago.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



BUSINESS PNC Bank Corp. ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank") is one of the largest
diversified financial services organizations in the United States. The
Corporation's major businesses include Regional Community Banking, Corporate
Banking, National Consumer Banking, Private Banking, Mortgage Banking, Secured
Lending, Asset Management and Mutual Fund Servicing. Financial products and
services are tailored to specific customer segments and offered nationally and
in PNC Bank's primary geographic markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Ohio and Kentucky. PNC Bank is subject to intense competition from other
financial services companies with respect to these businesses and is subject to
the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by certain regulatory authorities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 and its subsidiaries,
most 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.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to reporting
classifications utilized for the current reporting period. These
reclassifications did not impact the Corporation's financial condition or
results of operations.

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 PNC Bank's 1997 Annual Report.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is a reserve for
estimated credit losses established through provisions charged against income.
Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account and
recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance.

The allowance is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient
to absorb estimated potential credit losses. Management's determination of the
adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the credit portfolio and
other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires
material estimates including, among others, the amounts and timing of expected
future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on consumer loans and
residential mortgages, and general amounts for historical loss experience,
economic conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in
the various credit portfolios, all of which may be susceptible to significant
change.

SOFTWARE COSTS Effective January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of certain
costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal
use. Qualifying software costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated
useful life of the software. Prior to the adoption of SOP 98-1, software costs
were expensed as incurred. Restatement of prior year financial statements was
not required. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES The Corporation uses off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives as part of the overall asset/liability management process and in
residential and commercial mortgage banking activities. Substantially all such
instruments are used to manage risk related to changes in interest rates.
Financial derivatives primarily consist of interest rate swaps, purchased
interest rate caps and floors, forward contracts and foreign exchange contracts.

To accommodate customer needs, PNC Bank also enters into financial derivative
transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps, caps, floors and
foreign exchange contracts. Interest rate risk exposure from customer positions
is managed through transactions with other dealers.

Additionally, the Corporation enters into other derivatives transactions for
risk management purposes that are recorded at estimated fair value and changes
in value are included in results of operations.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 established new rules for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale to be included in
other comprehensive income. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 130, unrealized
gains or losses were reported separately in shareholders' equity. Prior year
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of
SFAS No. 130. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no impact on net income or
shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income was $296 million in the second
quarter and $557 million in the first six

months of 1998 compared with $313 million and $509 million, respectively, in
1997.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per common share is calculated by
dividing net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Diluted earnings per common share is based on net income adjusted for interest
expense, net of tax, on outstanding convertible debentures and dividends
declared on nonconvertible preferred stock. The weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding is increased by the assumed conversion of
outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures from the
beginning of the year or date of issuance, if later, and the number of shares of
common stock which would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. Such
adjustments to net income and the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per common
share.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires financial and
descriptive information about an entity's operating segments to be included in
the annual financial statements. This standard, when implemented, will impact
financial statement footnote disclosure only and will not impact the reported
financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

SFAS No. 132 "Employer's Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits," is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
statement standardizes and combines the disclosure requirements for pension and
other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets, and eliminates certain disclosures previously considered useful under
previous accounting standards. This standard, when implemented, will impact
financial statement footnote disclosure only and will not impact the reported
financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," is
required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999, although early
adoption is permitted. The Corporation expects to adopt the new statement
effective January 1, 2000. This statement requires the Corporation to recognize
all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not
hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a
hedge as defined by the statement, changes in the fair value of derivatives will
either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings based on
the nature of the hedge. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in
fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Management has not yet
determined what effect this statement will have on earnings and the financial
position of the Corporation.

CASH FLOWS

During the first six months of 1998, net acquisition and divestiture activity
which affected cash flows consisted of $670 million in acquired assets, $299
million in divested liabilities, cash payments totaling $998 million and receipt
of $29 million in cash and due from banks. The Corporation did not have any
acquisition or divestiture activity which affected cash flows during the first
six months of 1997.
