FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
This Financial Review should be read in conjunction with the PNC Bank Corp. and
subsidiaries' ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank") Consolidated Financial Statements
and Statistical Information included herein.
OVERVIEW
PNC BANK CORP.
The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial services companies
in the United States operating retail banking, asset management and wholesale
businesses that provide products and services nationally and in PNC Bank's
primary geographic markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and
Kentucky.
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.
PNC Bank has responded to these challenges by transitioning to an
organization managed as separate businesses 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 altered its business mix by investing in specialized
financial services businesses, including asset management, mutual fund
servicing, investment advisory, mortgage banking and corporate services. These
businesses are largely fee-based, less capital intensive and provide growth
opportunities on a national scale. More meaningful contributions from these
businesses, coupled with disciplined management of traditional banking
activities, have allowed PNC Bank to significantly improve the composition of
its revenue stream.
Pursuant to this strategy, the Corporation completed a number of
acquisitions and divestitures in 1998. Acquisitions included Midland Loan
Services, L.P. ("Midland"), a commercial mortgage servicer; the asset-based
finance business of BTM Capital Corp., including a $600 million portfolio of
asset-based loans and loan commitments; Hilliard-Lyons, Inc. ("Hilliard Lyons"),
a retail brokerage and investment management firm; and $26 billion of
residential mortgage servicing. The Corporation sold its corporate trust and
escrow business and $821 million of non-affinity, non-relationship credit card
accounts.
Also, in the fourth quarter the Corporation agreed to sell its remaining
credit card business, which previously was a significant component of PNC
National Consumer Bank. This transaction is expected to close in the first
quarter of 1999, subject to regulatory approval, and to result in a substantial
gain. Upon completion of the credit card divestiture, the balance of the
activities comprising PNC National Consumer Bank will be combined with PNC
Regional Community Bank.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated net income for 1998 was $1.115 billion compared with $1.052 billion
a year ago. Diluted earnings per share increased 10% to $3.60 for 1998 from
$3.28 in 1997. Earnings from PNC Advisors, PNC Mortgage, BlackRock and PFPC
Worldwide each grew in excess of 21% compared with the prior year. Returns on
average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 20.81% and 1.49%
compared with 20.01% and 1.49%, respectively, a year ago.
Total revenue for 1998 increased $843 million or 19% compared with the
prior year primarily due to noninterest income growth. Noninterest income
increased $768 million to $2.623 billion for 1998 driven by 32% growth in
fee-based revenue. Noninterest income represented 50% of total revenue in 1998
compared with 42% in 1997. Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $75
million in 1998 primarily due to a $3.4 billion increase in average earning
assets. The net interest margin narrowed to 3.85% compared with 3.94% in the
prior year primarily due to a change in balance sheet composition.
The provision for credit losses was $225 million in 1998 compared with $70
million in the prior year. Net charge-offs were .80% of average loans in 1998
compared with .51% a year ago. The increase in the net charge-off ratio was
primarily associated with credit cards and a single credit in the health care
industry.
Noninterest expense increased $599 million to $3.261 billion in 1998
primarily due to higher amortization of residential mortgage servicing rights
("MSR"), incentive compensation commensurate with revenue growth, the impact of
acquisitions and consumer banking initiatives. The efficiency ratio, which
excludes amortization, distributions on capital securities and mortgage banking
hedging activities, improved to 54.8% in 1998 from 56.1% a year ago.
Total assets were $77.2 billion at December 31, 1998, compared with $75.1
billion at December 31, 1997. Shareholders' equity totaled $6.0 billion at
December 31, 1998, compared with $5.4 billion at December 31, 1997. The leverage
ratio was 7.28% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.80% and
11.16%, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets was
.58% at December 31, 1998, and .61% at December 31, 1997. The allowance for
credit losses was 255% of nonperforming loans and 1.31% of total loans at
December 31, 1998, compared with 352% and 1.79%, respectively, at December 31,
1997.

REVIEW OF BUSINESSES
Business results are based on PNC Bank's management accounting practices. There
is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting
equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles; therefore, PNC Bank's
results are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other
financial services institution. Financial results are presented as if each
business operated on a stand-alone basis, in accordance with the Corporation's
current management structure.
Several organizational and business changes were made during 1998 as part
of the Corporation's operating strategy. In the second quarter of 1998, the
Asset Management and Mutual Fund Servicing business was divided into two
distinct businesses (BlackRock and PFPC Worldwide) and the institutional trust
business and Hawthorn were realigned with PNC Advisors (previously Private
Banking). Financial results for 1998 and 1997 are presented consistent with this
structure.
In December 1998, management made the decision to exit the credit card
business by entering into an agreement to sell the Corporation's credit card
subsidiary, including remaining credit card receivables. This transaction is
expected to close in the first quarter of 1999, subject to regulatory approval,
and to result in a substantial gain. Also, in December the Corporation sold its
non-affinity, non-relationship credit card accounts and its corporate trust and
escrow business resulting in net gains of $76 million. The impact of these
divested businesses as well as the benefit from the sale of an 18% equity
interest in BlackRock to its management in 1998 is included in Other.
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income
statement assignments and transfers to measure performance of the businesses.
Methodologies change from time to time as management accounting practices are
enhanced and businesses change. Securities or borrowings and related net
interest income are assigned based on the net asset or liability position of
each business. Capital is assigned based on management's assessment of inherent
risks and equity levels at independent companies providing similar products and
services. Support areas not directly aligned with the businesses are allocated
primarily based on the utilization of these services.
Total business financial results differ from consolidated financial results
primarily due to differences between management accounting practices and
generally accepted accounting principles, divested businesses, eliminations and
unassigned items, the impact of which is reflected in Other.

PNC Regional Community Bank provides financial products and services to small
business and retail customers within PNC Bank's geographic footprint. PNC
Regional Community Bank utilizes a sophisticated information database to
identify consumer preferences for products and services and the delivery channel
of choice.
Consumers are increasingly demanding the convenience of multiple delivery
channels and choice among high-value products and services. As consumer
preferences have changed, PNC Regional Community Bank has focused on offering
desired products and balancing resources between traditional branches and
technologically-advanced delivery channels.

EFFICIENCY RATIO
PNC Regional Community Bank contributed 42% of total business earnings in
1998 compared with 38% in 1997. Earnings of $428 million in 1998 included $86
million of pretax gains on the sales of branches in Western Pennsylvania,
Kentucky and Indiana that were partially offset by one-time costs related to
consumer delivery initiatives. Excluding these items, earnings increased $29
million or 8% and performance ratios improved due to strategies designed to
respond to changing customer preferences 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 $54 million or 6% compared
with the prior year. Net interest income declined in the current year due to the
impact of branch sales and the lower interest rate environment.
PNC Regional Community Bank engages in lending activities that are affected
by economic and financial market conditions. An economic slowdown could have an
adverse impact on results of operations.

PNC National Consumer Bank provides consumer products and services nationwide
through affinity relationships.
In prior periods PNC Bank's credit card business was a significant
component of PNC National Consumer Bank. In the fourth quarter of 1998, the
Corporation agreed to sell its credit card business, and accordingly its results
have been excluded from PNC National Consumer Bank in both periods presented.
Upon completion of this transaction, which is expected to close in the first
quarter of 1999, subject to regulatory approval, PNC National Consumer Bank will
be combined with PNC Regional Community Bank. The combined business will
continue to leverage the alternative consumer delivery capabilities and
distribute consumer products through affinity relationships developed by PNC
National Consumer Bank.
PNC National Consumer Bank contributed 3% of total business earnings in
1998 and 6% in the prior year. Earnings decreased in the year-to-year comparison
due to $64 million pretax of securitization and other gains recorded in 1997.
In 1998, PNC National Consumer Bank continued to invest in marketing,
infrastructure and technology to support the distribution of non-credit card
products through AAA Financial Services. During 1999, infrastructure development
will be completed and management will continue to pursue actions designed to
improve the results of the AAA initiative.
The Corporation owns approximately 20% of Electronic Payment Services, Inc.
("EPS"), a privately-held company specializing in account access services. On
March 1, 1999, Concord EFS, Inc. and EPS merged resulting in a substantial gain
for the Corporation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
Consistent with this objective, in December 1998, the Corporation completed the
acquisition of Hilliard Lyons, a retail brokerage and investment management firm
with 90 offices in 13 Midwestern and Southeastern states. Hilliard Lyons has
focused on delivering brokerage services and investment management expertise to
affluent clients. The acquisition of Hilliard Lyons will enable PNC Advisors to
expand the retail distribution of capital markets products and provide customers
with a wider range of highly-regarded investment products.
PNC Advisors contributed 12% of total business earnings in 1998 compared
with 10% in 1997. Earnings of $124 million in 1998 increased $28 million or 29%
from the prior year driven by revenue growth.
PNC ADVISORS
- -------------------------------------------------------
97 $456
98 $537
- -------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL REVENUE (in millions)
Revenue growth was primarily driven by noninterest income that increased
$71 million or 21% from the prior year. The increase was due to higher assets
under management resulting from new business and market appreciation as well as
higher brokerage income primarily from Hilliard Lyons. The year-to-year increase
in noninterest expense of $36 million resulted from the acquisition of Hilliard
Lyons as well as expenditures made to support revenue growth and continuing
investments in asset management technology.

Brokerage assets administered by PNC Advisors increased $26 billion to $34
billion at December 31, 1998, primarily due to the acquisition of Hilliard
Lyons.
PNC Advisors' 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
results of operations.

BlackRock, one of the largest asset managers in the country, offers fixed
income, domestic and international equity and liquidity investment products. The
Corporation has leveraged BlackRock's technology-based risk management
capabilities and financial management reputation as an established fixed income
manager by combining PNC Bank's investment advisory and asset management
capabilities under a single organization and brand. BlackRock is focused on
expanding marketing and delivery channels for a wide range of institutional and
retail investment products.
BlackRock contributed 4% of total business earnings in 1998 compared with
3% a year ago. Earnings of $44 million in 1998 increased 57% from the prior year
primarily driven by revenue growth related to new business and market
appreciation. Revenue increased $122 million or 73% due to a 26% increase in
assets under management and higher performance fees. The increase in operating
expense in the year-to-year comparison supported revenue growth.
At December 31, 1998, BlackRock managed $132 billion of assets for
individual and institutional investors, of which 89% were invested in fixed
income and liquidity funds that historically have been less volatile than equity
funds.

comparison, driven by new business and existing client growth. Revenue of $191
million in 1998 increased $43 million or 29% from the prior year due to the
higher level of assets serviced by PFPC. Accounting/administration assets
serviced increased $70 billion or 38% in 1998 to $252 billion at year end, while
custody assets increased 36% to $315 billion at December 31, 1998. Operating
expense increased in the year-to-year comparison to support revenue growth and
investments in technology and infrastructure associated with business expansion.

affected by increasing customer account values or improving financial markets.
Conversely, declining customer account values or deteriorating financial markets
may have an adverse effect on results of operations.

PNC Corporate Bank provides credit, treasury management and capital markets
products and services to large and mid-sized businesses, institutions and
government entities. Teams of specialists focus on specific segments, including
large corporate, middle market, communications, health care, public finance,
energy, metals and mining and emerging growth.
The ongoing pressure on credit-related product margins has led to more
emphasis on altering the revenue composition through growth of noncredit revenue
such as treasury management and capital markets. The strategic focus for PNC
Corporate Bank is on developing and delivering a comprehensive range of higher
margin, fee-based products and services and improving the returns on
credit-related products.
PNC Corporate Bank contributed 18% of total business earnings in 1998
compared with 22% a year ago. Earnings of $177 million in 1998 declined $36
million from the prior year due to a higher provision for credit losses that was
partially offset by higher credit-related and capital markets revenue. The
increase in the provision primarily related to credit exposure to certain
bankrupt affiliates of the Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation
("AHERF") that was substantially charged off. Management anticipates a lower
provision for credit losses in 1999.

TOTAL REVENUE (in millions)
Total revenue of $737 million in 1998 increased $45 million or 7% from the
prior year. Credit-related revenue primarily represents net interest income from
loans and increased 8% in the year-to-year comparison. Noncredit revenue, which
includes noninterest income and the benefit of compensating balances in lieu of
fees, increased $19 million or 5% compared with 1997 driven by growth in
treasury management, capital markets and other income. The increase in noncredit
revenue reflected strategies designed to expand fee-based services. In the
fourth quarter of 1998, PNC Corporate Bank obtained regulatory approval for Tier
II powers that will enable PNC Bank to participate in corporate debt and limited
equity underwriting, thereby offering capital markets customers a more complete
range of financing and investment products.
PNC Corporate Bank engages in lending, venture capital and capital markets
activities, all of which are impacted by economic and financial market
conditions. Accordingly, a decline in the capital markets or an economic
slowdown could adversely impact asset quality and results of operations.

PNC Secured Finance 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.
The commercial real estate finance group provides comprehensive services to
a broad base of clients including commercial and residential developers,
investors, mortgage bankers and property management companies. PNC Business
Credit is among the top ten firms in the United States in asset-based financing,
providing asset-based lending, syndication and treasury management services.
Leasing provides equipment lease financing to a wide range of customers and is
focused on growth from PNC Bank's existing corporate customer base and in
national markets.
PNC Secured Finance made several investments in 1998 to provide additional
revenue growth opportunities, reflecting its strategy to increase noninterest
income and expand nationally.
In April 1998, PNC Bank acquired Midland, one of the nation's largest
servicers of commercial mortgages. The acquisition of Midland provides important
competitive advantages as more real estate customers demand sophisticated,
technology-driven services and increased access to capital markets. Midland
greatly expanded PNC Bank's real estate financial services capabilities, which
now include origination, securitization, servicing, investment advisory and risk
management.
Also, in April the Corporation acquired the asset-based finance business of
BTM Capital Corp. The purchase included a $600 million portfolio of asset-based
loans and loan commitments and regional sales offices furthering PNC Bank's
strategy of becoming a national provider of these services.
In July 1998, PNC Bank acquired The Arcand Company, subsequently renamed
Columbia Housing Partners ("Columbia"). Columbia is a leading tax credit
syndicator, principally engaged in the origination and distribution of
affordable housing limited partnerships.
PNC Secured Finance contributed 11% of total business earnings in 1998
compared with 14% in the prior year. Earnings of $112 million in 1998 decreased
$28 million from the prior year primarily due to a lower benefit from improving
asset quality and the impact of the Midland acquisition.
Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue increased to 27% in
1998 from 21% in 1997, mainly due to $40 million of commercial mortgage
servicing revenue from Midland, reflecting the strategy to invest in fee-based
businesses.

PNC Mortgage originates, purchases and services residential mortgages. PNC
Mortgage focuses on expanding retail and correspondent distribution channels,
increasing the residential mortgage servicing portfolio and expanding sales of
related products, including second mortgages, home equity lines of credit and
insurance. In addition, PNC Mortgage securitizes and sells residential mortgages
as private-label, mortgage-backed securities and performs master servicing of
those securities for investors through PNC Mortgage Securities Corp.
PNC Mortgage contributed 6% of total business earnings in 1998 compared
with 4% in 1997. Earnings of $57 million in 1998 increased $23 million from the
prior year primarily due to higher business volumes.
Revenue and expense growth during 1998 resulted from higher loan
origination volume and a larger servicing portfolio. MSR amortization increased
$228 million in the year-to-year comparison, reflecting significant refinance
activity and the larger servicing portfolio. Hedging activities largely offset
the impact of refinance activity on MSR amortization.

During 1998, PNC Mortgage funded $12 billion of residential mortgages, with
63% representing retail originations. The comparable amounts were $6 billion and
70%, respectively, in 1997. The year-to-year increase in originations reflected
the combination of higher refinance activity and initiatives to expand retail
and correspondent origination capabilities. Purchases in 1998 included $16
billion of servicing portfolio acquisitions and $10 billion of contractual flow
purchases. With these purchases, PNC Mortgage became the nation's 11th-largest
servicer of residential mortgages.

At December 31, 1998, the residential mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $62
billion, including $54 billion of loans serviced for others, with a
weighted-average coupon of 7.67%. In addition, the master servicing portfolio
grew 106% to $26 billion at December 31, 1998. Capitalized MSR totaled $768
million at December 31, 1998, and had an estimated fair value of $840 million.
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 also would decline. In a period of rising
interest rates, a converse relationship would exist. The Corporation seeks to
manage this risk by using financial instruments as hedges designed to move in
the opposite direction of MSR value changes.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
PNC Bank has made, and may continue to make, various written and oral
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 those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed by the Corporation and those
identified elsewhere in this Financial Review and in the Corporation's Annual
Report, 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 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;
changes in global and domestic economic conditions generally and in local
markets in which the Corporation conducts business; changes in interest rates
and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and
deposit practices; continued customer disintermediation; customers' acceptance
of PNC Bank's products and services; and the impact, extent and timing of
technological changes, capital management activities, actions of the Federal
Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

NET INTEREST INCOME
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 funding costs can have a significant impact on net interest income
and margin.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $75 million to $2.599
billion in 1998 compared with $2.524 billion in 1997. The net interest margin
narrowed to 3.85% in 1998 compared with 3.94% in the prior year.
The increase in net interest income was due to a $3.4 billion increase in
average earning assets which more than offset a narrower net interest margin
resulting from a change in balance sheet composition. Average loans grew 5.3% to
$55.7 billion in 1998, a $2.8 billion increase from the prior year. Growth in
commercial and home equity loans more than offset a decline in commercial and
residential mortgages and credit card and automobile loans. Loans represented
83% of average earning assets in 1998 and 1997. Average loans held for sale
increased $2.0 billion in the year-to-year comparison, reflecting higher
residential and commercial mortgage originations and acquisitions.
Average securities available for sale decreased $1.4 billion and
represented 11% of average earning assets in 1998 compared with 14% a year ago.
Average deposits comprised 60% and 63% of PNC Bank's total sources of
funding in 1998 and 1997, respectively, with the remainder primarily comprised
of wholesale funding obtained at prevailing market rates.
Management anticipates a decline in balance sheet outstandings and a
narrowing of net interest margin due to the pending credit card sale and
continued downsizing of certain loan portfolios in 1999.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $2.623 billion in 1998 compared with $1.855 billion in
1997. Asset management, mutual fund servicing, consumer services, corporate
services and mortgage banking revenues each grew 25% or more compared with the
prior year. Noninterest income for 1998 included $162 million of net gains from
the sale of the corporate trust and escrow business, branch sales and the sale
of non-affinity, non-relationship credit cards. These items were primarily
offset by a higher than anticipated provision for credit losses, one-time costs
related to consumer banking initiatives and valuation adjustments on certain
market-sensitive asset positions. Mortgage banking hedging activities resulted
in $104 million of net securities gains and $61 million of other gains in 1998
that largely offset an increase in residential MSR amortization.
Asset management fees increased 36% from 1997 primarily due to new
business, market appreciation and performance fees. Assets under management
increased 27% to $174 billion at December 31, 1998, compared with $137 billion a
year ago. Mutual fund servicing fees grew 29% in 1998 resulting from an increase
in assets serviced. At December 31, 1998, custody and accounting/administration
services were provided for $315 billion and $252 billion of mutual fund assets,
respectively. The comparable amounts were $232 billion and $182 billion,
respectively, a year ago.
Consumer services revenue increased $78 million or 25% in 1998 compared
with 1997 primarily due to an increase in credit card and brokerage accounts. In
1999, Hilliard Lyons is expected to add approximately $135 million to brokerage
revenue while credit card fees will decrease approximately $95 million due to
the pending sale of the credit card business. Fees for corporate services, which
include treasury management, capital markets and commercial mortgage servicing,
increased 30% to $257 million in 1998 resulting from the Midland acquisition and
higher treasury management and capital markets fees.
Mortgage banking revenue grew $144 million or 68% in 1998 from the prior
year primarily due to significant mortgage refinance activity and higher
servicing income resulting from servicing portfolio acquisitions. Residential
mortgage originations totaled $12 billion in 1998 compared with $6 billion in
1997.
Net securities gains were $120 million in 1998, including $104 million
resulting from MSR hedging activities, compared with $49 million in 1997. The
year-to-year increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to the net
gains from divestitures and other gains from MSR hedging activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense of $3.261 billion in 1998 increased $599 million from the
prior year primarily due to higher MSR amortization of $240 million, incentive
compensation commensurate with revenue growth in fee-based businesses, the
impact of acquisitions and consumer banking initiatives. Average full-time
equivalent employees totaled approximately 25,500 in 1998 compared with 24,600
in the prior year, an increase of 3.7% mainly due to acquisitions.
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
LOANS
Loans outstanding increased $3.4 billion from year-end 1997 to $57.7 billion at
December 31, 1998. Growth in commercial and home equity loans more than offset a
decline in commercial and residential mortgages and credit card and automobile
loans. The increase in commercial loans was primarily in real estate related,
specialized lending and middle market. Management anticipates a decline in the
loan portfolio in 1999 primarily due to the pending sale of credit cards and
continued downsizing of certain portfolios.

The securities portfolio declined $1.4 billion from year-end 1997 to $7.1
billion at December 31, 1998. The expected weighted-average life of the
securities portfolio increased to 5 years and 3 months at December 31, 1998,
compared with 2 years and 9 months a year ago due to the purchase of U.S.
Treasury and government agency securities with maturities of 10 years or more
used to economically hedge MSR.

FUNDING SOURCES
Total funding sources increased $1.2 billion to $68.4 billion at December 31,
1998. Increases in transaction deposit accounts and other borrowed funds were
mostly offset by decreases in foreign deposits and federal funds purchased. This
change in funding composition resulted in a strengthening of liquidity as 48% of
wholesale liabilities had a maturity beyond one year at December 31, 1998,
compared with 29% at December 31, 1997. During 1998, the Corporation continued
to expand funding sources by issuing approximately $800 million of bank notes
under the Euro medium-term bank note program.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes various types of risk,
the most significant of which are credit, liquidity, interest rate and market
risk. 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 borrower 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, among other
things, diversification, limiting exposure to any single industry or customer,
requiring collateral or selling participations to third parties and purchasing
credit-related derivatives.

the borrower's ability to comply with existing repayment terms over the next six
months, totaled $77 million at December 31, 1998.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Corporation
makes allocations to specific problem commercial, commercial real estate and
other 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 business segment
and risk rating and are based on historical loss trends and management's
judgment concerning those trends and other relevant factors. These factors may
include, among others, actual versus estimated losses, current regional and
national economic conditions, business segment and portfolio concentrations,
industry competition and consolidation and the impact of government regulations.
Credit card, other consumer and residential mortgage loan allocations are made
at a total portfolio level based on historical loss experience adjusted for
portfolio activity and current economic conditions.
While PNC Bank's commercial and consumer pool reserve methodologies strive
to reflect all risk factors, there continues to be a certain element of risk
arising in part from, but not limited to, potential for estimation or judgmental
errors, charge-off volatility, rapid declines in the credit quality of assets
arising from such factors as fraud,
54 PNC BANK
17
portfolio management risks, or sudden economic shifts. Unallocated reserves
provide coverage for such risks. While allocations are made to specific loans
and pools of loans, the total reserve is available for all credit losses.
Senior management's Reserve Adequacy Committee provides oversight for the
allowance evaluation process including quarterly evaluations, and methodology
and estimation changes. The results of the evaluations are reported to the
Credit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The increase in the provision for credit losses in 1998 and the evaluation
of the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 1998, reflect changes in
loan portfolio composition, changes in asset quality and the impact of actions
taken to exit the credit card business. The unallocated portion of the allowance
for credit losses represented 22% of the total allowance and .29% of total loans
at December 31, 1998, compared with 15% and .27%, respectively, at December 31,
1997.

and economic factors and may differ from current or historical experience.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity represents an institution's ability to obtain funds at reasonable
rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers, demands of depositors and debtholders
and to invest in strategic initiatives. Liquidity risk is centrally managed by
Asset and Liability Management.
Key factors affecting the Corporation's liquidity include the availability
and distribution of funding by type and maturity, asset quality, current and
future earnings expectations, market factors, and management and business
outlooks and strategies.
Liquidity risk management includes consideration of the Corporation's
ability to raise funds in the capital markets through asset securitizations or
sales. The ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends on credit
ratings, market conditions, capital considerations, investor demand and other
factors.
Liquid assets consist of short-term investments, loans held for sale and
securities available for sale. At December 31, 1998, such assets totaled $11
billion, with $4.3 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 December 31, 1998, approximately $3.3 billion of residential
mortgages were available as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB.
Liquidity for the parent company and subsidiaries is also generated through
the issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit and
through asset securitizations and sales. At December 31, 1998, the Corporation
had 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.
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 and liability management process.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
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, financial derivatives and other
capital markets instruments.
Interest rate risk is centrally managed by Asset and Liability Management.
The Corporation actively measures and monitors 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 and
Liability Committee provides strategic direction to Asset and Liability
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.
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,
business plans and published industry experience. 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 the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate
changes, the difference between actual experience and the assumed volume and
characteristics of new business and 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. Over the course of 1998, the Corporation's interest rate risk exposures
were within policy limits. At December 31, 1998, if interest rates were to
gradually increase by 100 basis points over the next twelve months, the model
indicates that net interest income would decrease by 0.7%. If interest rates
were to gradually decrease by 100 basis points over the next twelve months, the
model indicates that net interest income would increase by 0.4%.
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 net interest 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
on-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 net
interest 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% of the book value
of assets for a 200 basis point instantaneous increase or decrease in interest
rates.
Based on the results of the economic value of equity model at December 31,
1998, if interest rates were to instantaneously increase by 200 basis points,
the economic value of existing on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions
would decline by 0.4% of assets. If interest rates were to instantaneously
decrease by 200 basis points, the economic value of existing on-balance-sheet
and off-balance-sheet positions would decline by 0.24% of assets.

MARKET RISK
Most of PNC Bank's trading activities are designed to provide capital markets
services for customers of PNC Corporate Bank, PNC Secured Finance and PNC
Advisors. 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.
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 potential loss due to a two standard deviation, one-day move.
The combined year-end 1998 value-at-risk of all trading operations was less than
$600 thousand.
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
A variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives are used as part of the
overall risk management process to manage interest rate, market and credit risk
inherent in the Corporation's business activities. Interest rate swaps and
purchased interest rate caps and floors are the primary instruments used for
interest rate risk management. 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.
Credit-related derivatives provide, for a fee, an
assumption of a portion of the credit risk associated with the underlying
financial instruments. Such contracts are primarily used to manage credit risk
and regulatory capital associated with commercial lending activities.
Financial derivatives involve, to varying degrees, interest rate, market
and credit risk in excess of the amount on 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.
In 1998, financial derivatives used in interest rate risk management
increased net interest income by $18 million compared with a $14 million
decrease in the prior year.
The following table sets forth changes in the notional value of
off-balance-sheet financial derivatives used for risk management during 1998.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1998 VERSUS 1997
YEAR 2000 READINESS
The Corporation has been working since 1995 to prepare its computer systems and
applications to meet the year 2000 challenge. This process involves reviewing,
modifying and replacing existing hardware, software and embedded chip technology
systems, as necessary, and communicating with external service providers and
customers regarding their addressing of year 2000 issues. The Corporation is
also assessing the year 2000 preparedness of third parties such as vendors,
customers, governmental entities and others.
As of December 31, 1998, approximately 96% of the Corporation's MIS-
supported mainframe, mid-range and PC client-server systems had been tested and
returned to production as year 2000 ready. Approximately 96% of the
Corporation's non-PC related hardware and systems software had also been tested
and determined to be year 2000 ready as of that date. At year-end 1998, the
Corporation had also substantially completed an organization-wide assessment of
year 2000 issues relating to its mission critical systems which utilize embedded
chip technologies. No significant problems have been identified to date with
respect to embedded chip technology systems.
The Corporation has substantially completed its assessment of the year 2000
preparedness of its identified mission critical service providers. The
Corporation has not to date identified any material problems associated with its
mission critical service providers.
The year 2000 issue may also have an adverse impact on the operations and
financial condition of the Corporation's borrowers. PNC Bank periodically
compiles and updates year 2000 profiles for certain of its largest lending
relationships for the purpose of assessing their overall risks. Determination of
these risks is based upon an assessment of such borrowers' vulnerability to year
2000 issues, resources and capacity, adequacy of year 2000 readiness plans,
remediation costs and state of remediation. This information is compiled and
analyzed periodically to determine the possible year 2000 impact on the loan
portfolio and allowance for credit losses. Based on the Corporation's current
assessment of the information it has received to date, management believes the
year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on the quality of the loan
portfolio. The Corporation will continue to review and assess the year 2000
preparedness of its borrowers during 1999.
During the spring of 1999, PNC Bank plans to conduct fully integrated
testing of its systems and applications to determine whether its mission
critical application systems will perform in coordination with one another. The
mission critical applications systems will be tested on year 2000-ready hardware
and software using dates of December 31, 1999, January 3, 2000, February 29,
2000, and additional dates, if determined to be appropriate. The Corporation
also intends to conduct testing during 1999 with those mission critical vendors
that provide systems-related services.
The estimated total cost to become year 2000 compliant, which is being
expensed as incurred, is approximately $30 million. Through December 31, 1998,
the Corporation had expensed approximately $21 million related to the year 2000
effort. Expenses incurred for year 2000 readiness efforts comprised less than 5%
of the Corporation's total technology-related costs in 1998 and are not expected
to exceed 2% of technology-related expenses in 1999. No significant outlays have
been made to replace existing systems solely for year 2000 compliance reasons.
The costs and the timetable in which the Corporation plans to complete its year
2000 readiness activities are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived using numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party preparedness and other factors.
The Corporation can make no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved, and
actual results could differ from such plans.
Contingency plans have been completed for those systems that were not
tested and returned to production by October 31, 1998, and for those critical
service providers who either are not expected to be year 2000 ready by March 31,
1999, or did not respond to requests for year 2000 readiness information.
Contingency plans are being developed for mission critical end-user computing
applications that were not tested by December 15, 1998. In addition, business
continuity plans are being reviewed and strengthened to address year 2000
implications. This effort is expected to be completed by March 31, 1999. The
Corporation will continue to review all contingency plans during 1999 and modify
them when necessary or appropriate. Certain critical service provider and
systems contingency plans will be tested during 1999.
PNC Bank's year 2000 remedial efforts and contingency plans are also
subject to oversight and regulation by certain federal bank regulatory
authorities.
It is not possible to predict with certainty all of the adverse effects
that could result from a failure of the Corporation or of third parties to
become fully year 2000 compliant or whether such effects could have a material
impact on the Corporation. However, if the Corporation were to fail to correct
internal year 2000 problems, or if one or more of its third party providers are
unable due to year 2000 issues to provide services required by the Corporation,
a disruption of operations, resulting in increased operating costs and other
adverse effects, could result. Such disruptions could include a temporary
inability to process transactions and delays in providing services. In addition,
to the extent customers' financial positions are weakened due to year 2000
issues, credit quality could be adversely affected.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
1997 VERSUS 1996
OVERVIEW
Consolidated net income for 1997 totaled $1.052 billion or $3.28 per diluted
share compared with $992 million or $2.88, respectively, in 1996. Returns on
average common shareholders' equity and average assets for 1997 were 20.01% and
1.49% compared with 17.18% and 1.40%, respectively, in 1996. The 1996 results
include a $22 million after-tax charge to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Excluding the SAIF assessment, earnings for 1996
totaled $1.015 billion or $2.94 per diluted share. On this basis, returns on
average common shareholders' equity and average assets were 17.58% and 1.43%,
respectively.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
NET INTEREST INCOME
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $2.524 billion in 1997, a $45 million
increase over 1996. The net interest margin widened 11 basis points to 3.94%
compared with 3.83% in 1996. These increases resulted from a higher-yielding
earning asset mix which offset the impact of spread compression, change in
deposit mix and lower average deposit levels.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses was $70 million in 1997. No provision was
recorded in the prior year. During 1997, PNC Bank's loan portfolio was comprised
of a larger proportion of consumer loans, primarily credit cards, which had
inherently higher charge-offs.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income before net securities gains totaled $1.806 billion in 1997, a
$397 million or 28% increase compared with 1996. Net securities gains were $49
million in 1997 including $17 million associated with mortgage banking hedging
activities.
Strong asset management and consumer services growth reflected the
strategic emphasis on expanding fee-based revenue. Asset management and mutual
fund servicing benefited from new business and market appreciation. Service
charges on deposits increased $16 million due to a revised fee structure
implemented during 1996. Consumer services revenue exhibited strong growth in
nearly all categories. Fees for corporate services increased due to higher
treasury management fees. Credit card fees increased $63 million, reflecting
credit card portfolio growth largely due to acquisitions.
Mortgage banking revenue grew primarily due to higher income from
origination and securitization activities which were partially offset by an $8
million decline in gains from sales of servicing. Other noninterest income
increased over 1996 levels primarily due to asset securitization income of $55
million and a $27 million increase in venture capital income.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense increased $314 million to $2.662 billion in 1997 primarily
due to $187 million of incremental costs associated with AAA and credit
card-related national consumer banking initiatives. Higher incentive
compensation commensurate with revenue growth and the cost of trust preferred
capital securities also contributed to the increase. Excluding AAA and credit
card-related national consumer banking initiatives and the cost of trust
preferred capital securities, noninterest expense increased $74 million or 3%.
Average full-time equivalent employees totaled 24,600 in 1997 compared with
25,000 in 1996. The efficiency ratio was 56.1% compared with 57.0% in the prior
year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 1997 VERSUS 1996
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets were $75.1 billion at December 31, 1997, compared with $73.3
billion at December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to increases in
loans, loans held for sale and short-term investments partially offset by a
reduction in securities available for sale.
LOANS
Loans outstanding increased $2.4 billion from year-end 1996 to $54.2 billion at
December 31, 1997. Loan portfolio composition continued to be geographically
diversified among industries and types of businesses and reflected growth in the
Corporation's core businesses, credit cards and the impact of acquisitions.
Growth in residential mortgages and commercial loans was partially offset by
reductions in indirect automobile lending and $1 billion of student loan
securitizations.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The securities portfolio declined $3.4 billion from year-end 1996 to $8.5
billion at December 31, 1997. The expected weighted-average life of the
securities portfolio was 2 years and 9 months at December 31, 1997 compared with
2 years and 11 months at year-end 1996.
FUNDING SOURCES
Deposits increased 4.3% to $47.6 billion at December 31, 1997, compared with
$45.7 billion at year-end 1996 while borrowed funds remained relatively
unchanged. Deposits increased primarily due to an increase in short-term foreign
deposits. During 1997, the Corporation diversified its funding base by
initiating a $2.5 billion Euro medium-term bank note program. The Corporation
had issued approximately $514 million of bank notes under this program at
December 31, 1997.
ASSET QUALITY
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets was .61%
and .88% at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The allowance for credit
losses was 352% of nonperforming loans and 1.79% of total loans at December 31,
1997, compared with 334% and 2.25% at December 31, 1996, respectively. Net
charge-offs were .51% of average loans in 1997 compared with .33% in 1996. The
increase was primarily associated with higher credit card outstandings.
CAPITAL
Shareholders' equity totaled $5.4 billion and $5.9 billion at December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively, and the leverage ratio was 7.30% and 7.70% in the
comparison. Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.43% and 11.11%,
respectively, at December 31, 1997. The comparable December 31, 1996 ratios were
8.29% and 11.65%, respectively.

REPORTS ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
PNC Bank Corp. is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair
presentation of its published financial statements. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, include judgments and
estimates of management. PNC Bank Corp. also prepared the other information
included in the Annual Report and is responsible for its accuracy and
consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting. The internal control system is
augmented by written policies and procedures and by audits performed by an
internal audit staff which reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors. Internal auditors test the operation of the internal control system
and report findings to management and the Audit Committee, and corrective
actions are taken to address identified control deficiencies and other
opportunities for improving the system. The Audit Committee, composed solely of
outside directors, provides oversight to the financial reporting process.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of
internal control, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or
overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide
only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control
may vary over time.
Management assessed PNC Bank Corp.'s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 1998. This assessment was based on criteria for
effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal
Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management
believes that PNC Bank Corp. maintained an effective internal control system
over financial reporting as of December 31, 1998.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PNC BANK CORP.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PNC Bank Corp.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of PNC Bank Corp.'s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PNC Bank Corp.
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

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 operating retail banking,
asset management and wholesale businesses that provide financial products and
services 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 those authorities.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PNC Bank and its
subsidiaries, most of which are wholly owned. Such statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual
results will differ from such estimates and the differences may be material to
the consolidated financial statements.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale primarily consist of residential and commercial mortgages
and are carried at the lower of cost or aggregate market value. Gains and losses
on sales of loans held for sale are included in noninterest income.
SECURITIES
Securities are classified as investments and carried at amortized cost if
management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term profits are
placed in the trading account, carried at market value and classified as
short-term investments. Gains and losses on trading securities are included in
noninterest income. Securities not classified as investments or trading are
designated as securities available for sale and carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other
comprehensive income. Gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale
are computed on a specific security basis and included in noninterest income.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income.
Interest income with respect to loans is accrued on the principal amount
outstanding, except for lease financing income which is recognized over its
respective terms using methods which approximate the level yield method.
Significant loan fees are deferred and accreted to interest income over the
respective lives of the loans.
LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
The Corporation sells mortgage and other loans through secondary market
securitizations. The Corporation receives a fee for servicing the securitized
loans. Securitized loans are removed from the balance sheet and the Corporation
records a servicing asset and a corresponding gain or loss on sale. Certain
estimates are inherent in determining the fair value of servicing assets and are
subject to change.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt
restructurings and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans other than credit card
and other consumer are classified as nonaccrual when it is determined that the
collection of interest or principal is doubtful or when a default of interest or
principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless the loans are well secured and
in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, accrued but
uncollected interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and
unpaid interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged against the
allowance for credit losses. Consumer loans are generally charged off when
payments are past due 120 days and credit cards are charged off when payments
are past due 180 days.
A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring in the year of
restructuring if a concession is granted to the borrower due to a deterioration
in the financial condition of the borrower.
Nonperforming loans are generally not returned to performing status until
the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the
contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and collection of the
contractual principal and interest is no longer doubtful.
Foreclosed assets are comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure
proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. These assets are
recorded on the date
68 PNC BANK
31
acquired at the lower of the related loan balance or market value of the
collateral less estimated disposition costs. Market values are estimated
primarily based on appraisals. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are valued at the
lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or the current market value
less estimated disposition costs. Gains or losses realized from disposition of
such property are reflected in noninterest expense.
Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate
loans and troubled debt restructurings. Interest collected on these loans is
recognized on the cash basis or cost recovery method.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is established through provisions charged
against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the
allowance 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 periodic 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 credit card and other 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. In
determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Corporation
makes allocations to specific problem commercial, commercial real estate and
other 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 business segment
and risk rating and are based on historical loss trends and management's
judgment concerning those trends and other relevant factors. These factors may
include, among others, actual versus estimated losses, current regional and
national economic conditions, business segment portfolio concentrations,
industry competition and consolidation and the impact of government regulations.
Credit card, other consumer and residential mortgage loan allocations are made
at a total portfolio level based on historical loss experience adjusted for
portfolio activity and current economic conditions.
While PNC Bank's commercial and consumer loan pool reserve methodologies
strive to reflect all risk factors, there continues to be a certain element of
risk arising in part from, but not limited to, potential for estimation or
judgmental errors, charge-off volatility, rapid declines in the credit quality
of assets arising from such factors as fraud, portfolio management risks, or
sudden economic shifts. Unallocated reserves provide coverage for such risks.
While allocations are made to specific loans and pools of loans, the reserve is
available for all credit losses.
SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Servicing rights retained in a sale or securitization of loans are recorded by
allocating the previous carrying amount of the loans sold or securitized to the
relative fair values of the assets retained and sold. Purchased servicing rights
are recorded at cost. Servicing rights are amortized in proportion to estimated
net servicing income. To determine the fair value of servicing rights, the
Corporation estimates the present value of future cash flows incorporating
numerous assumptions including cost of servicing, discount rates, prepayment
speeds and default rates.
A valuation allowance is maintained for the excess, if any, of the carrying
amount of capitalized servicing rights over estimated fair value.
GOODWILL AND OTHER AMORTIZABLE ASSETS
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to
25 years. Other amortizable assets are reduced using accelerated and
straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful lives. On a
periodic basis, management reviews goodwill and other amortizable assets and
evaluates events or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment in the
carrying amount of such assets. In such instances, impairment, if any, is
measured on a discounted future cash flow basis.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
For financial reporting purposes, premises and equipment are depreciated
principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Accelerated methods are used for federal income tax purposes.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or their
respective lease terms, whichever is shorter.
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 permitted. The
adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's
financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TREASURY STOCK
The Corporation records common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date
of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such
stock on the first-in, first-out basis.
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
The Corporation uses off-balance-sheet financial derivatives as part of the
overall asset and liability management process and in 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 credit default swaps.
Interest rate swaps are agreements with a counterparty to exchange periodic
interest payments calculated on a notional principal amount. 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 is higher or lower than a defined rate applied to a notional amount.
Interest rate swaps, caps and floors that modify the interest rate
characteristics (such as from fixed to variable, variable to fixed, or one
variable index to another) of designated interest-bearing assets or liabilities
are accounted for under the accrual method. The net amount payable or receivable
from the derivative contract is accrued as an adjustment to interest income or
interest expense of the designated instrument. Premiums on contracts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the agreement as an adjustment to
interest income or interest expense of the designated instruments. Unamortized
premiums are included in other assets. Changes in fair value of financial
derivatives accounted for under the accrual method are not reflected in results
of operations. Realized gains and losses, except losses on terminated interest
rate caps and floors, are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying amount of
the designated instruments and amortized over the shorter of the remaining
original life of the agreements or the designated instruments. Losses on
terminated interest rate caps and floors are recognized immediately in results
of operations. If the designated instruments are disposed of, the fair value of
the associated derivative contracts and any unamortized deferred gains or losses
are included in the determination of gain or loss on the disposition of such
instruments. Contracts not qualifying for accrual accounting are marked to
market.
Forward contracts provide for the delivery of financial instruments at a
specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The Corporation uses
forward contracts primarily to manage risk associated with its mortgage banking
activities. Realized gains and losses on mandatory and optional delivery forward
commitments are recorded in noninterest income in the period settlement occurs.
Unrealized gains or losses are considered in the lower of cost or market
valuation of loans held for sale.
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. These positions
are recorded at estimated fair value and changes in value are included in
noninterest income.
Additionally, the Corporation enters into other derivative transactions for
risk management purposes that do not qualify for accrual accounting. These
transactions are recorded at estimated fair value and changes in value are
included in noninterest income.
Credit-related derivatives are entered into to manage credit risk and
regulatory capital associated with commercial lending activities. If the
credit-related derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, the premium
paid to enter the credit-related derivative is recorded in other assets and is
deferred and amortized to noninterest expense over the life of the agreement.
Changes in the fair value of credit-related derivatives qualifying for hedge
accounting treatment are not reflected in the Corporation's financial position
and have no impact on results of operations.
If the credit-related derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment or if the Corporation is the seller of credit protection, the
credit-related derivative is marked to market with gains or losses included in
noninterest income.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Corporation has foreign currency exposures for loans and deposits
denominated in foreign currencies. These exposures are managed by entering into
currency swaps and currency forward contracts. Assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
balance sheet date exchange rate. Resulting gains or losses are included in
results of operations. Derivatives designated as hedges are accounted for using
the deferral method of accounting. Derivatives not qualifying for deferral
accounting are marked to market.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse.
STOCK OPTIONS
For stock options granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value
of common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
70 PNC BANK
33
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
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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 financial derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through results of operations. If the derivative is a
hedge as defined by the statement, changes in the fair value of derivatives will
be either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through results of operations or recognized in
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in results of
operations 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 the
financial position and results of operations of the Corporation.
SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained After the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise"
(an amendment of SFAS No. 65), is effective January 1, 1999, although early
application is permitted. This statement requires the Corporation to classify
all mortgage-backed securities or other interests in the form of a security
retained after a securitization of mortgage loans held for sale based on its
ability and intent to sell or hold those investments. Any retained
mortgage-backed securities that the Corporation commits to sell before or during
the securitization process must be classified as trading securities. At the time
of implementation, this standard permits a one-time reclassification of
mortgage-backed securities and other beneficial interests retained after the
securitization of mortgage loans held for sale from the trading category.
Management does not believe that this statement will have a material impact on
the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation.
NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
In April 1998, the Corporation completed the acquisitions of Midland Loan
Services, L.P., one of the nation's largest servicers of commercial mortgages,
and the asset-based finance business of BTM Capital Corp., including a $600
million portfolio of asset-based loans and loan commitments. In July 1998, the
Corporation completed the acquisition of The Arcand Company, subsequently
renamed Columbia Housing Partners, a leading tax credit syndicator principally
engaged in the origination and distribution of affordable housing limited
partnerships. In December 1998, the Corporation acquired Hilliard-Lyons, Inc.
("Hilliard Lyons"), a retail brokerage firm with 90 offices in 13 Midwestern and
Southeastern states.
In December, PNC Bank sold its corporate trust and escrow business to Chase
Manhattan Trust Company, N.A. and $821 million of non-affinity, non-relationship
credit card accounts to a subsidiary of Metris Companies, Inc. The Corporation
also entered into a definitive agreement to sell its remaining credit card
business of approximately $2.9 billion of outstanding receivables and 3.3
million accounts, including PNC National Bank, Wilmington, Delaware, to MBNA
Corporation. This transaction, expected to close in the first quarter of 1999
subject to regulatory approvals, is anticipated to result in a substantial gain.

Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds provided there
is no violation of specified contractual conditions. Commercial commitments are
reported net of participations, assignments and syndications, primarily to
financial institutions, totaling $5.9 billion at December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, may require payment of a fee,
and contain termination clauses in the event the customer's credit quality
deteriorates. Based on the Corporation's historical experience, most commitments
expire unfunded, and therefore cash requirements are substantially less than the
total commitment.
Net outstanding letters of credit totaled $4.7 billion at December 31, 1998
and 1997, and consist primarily of standby letters of credit which commit the
Corporation to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified
future events occur. Such instruments are typically issued to support industrial
revenue bonds, commercial paper, and bid- or performance-related contracts. At
year-end 1998, the largest industry concentration within standby letters of
credit was health care, which accounted for approximately 14% of the total.
Maturities for standby letters of credit ranged from 1999 to 2020.
At December 31, 1998, $2.5 billion of loans were pledged to secure
borrowings and for other purposes.
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries, as well as certain affiliated companies of these directors and
officers, were customers of and had loans with subsidiary banks in the ordinary
course of business. All such loans were on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other customers and did not involve more than a
normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amounts of these loans were
$28 million and $95 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, foreclosed assets are reported net of
valuation allowances of $10 million and $13 million, respectively. Gains on
sales of foreclosed assets resulted in net foreclosed asset income of $3
million, $160 thousand, and $9 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 14 REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state
agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by such regulatory authorities.
Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to written
regulatory agreements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on PNC Bank's financial position. The
Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulatory agencies about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.

The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, ability to pay dividends, deposit insurance costs, 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 December 31, 1998, the Corporation and each bank subsidiary met the
well capitalized capital ratio requirements.
Dividends that may be paid by subsidiary banks to the parent company are
subject to certain legal limitations and also may be impacted by capital needs,
regulatory requirements, corporate policies, contractual restrictions and other
factors. Without regulatory approval, the amount available for payment of
dividends by all subsidiary banks was $952 million at December 31, 1998.
Under federal law, generally no bank subsidiary may extend credit to the
parent company or its nonbank subsidiaries on terms and under circumstances
which are not substantially the same as comparable extensions of credit to
nonaffiliates. No extension of credit may be made to the parent company or a
nonbank subsidiary which is in excess of 10% of the capital stock and surplus of
such bank subsidiary or in excess of 20% of the capital and surplus of such bank
subsidiary as to aggregate extensions of credit to the parent company and its
subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, federal regulatory authorities may
impose more restrictive limitations. Such extensions of credit, with limited
exceptions, must be fully collateralized. The maximum amount available under
statutory limitations for transfer from subsidiary banks to the parent company
in the form of loans and dividends approximated 27% of consolidated net assets
at December 31, 1998.
Federal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to
maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. During 1998, subsidiary
banks maintained reserves which averaged $186 million.

The Corporation uses a variety of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives as
part of its overall interest rate risk management process and to manage risk
associated with mortgage banking activities. Financial derivatives involve, to
varying degrees, interest rate and credit risk in excess of the amount
recognized on the balance sheet but less than the notional amount of the
contract. For interest rate swaps and purchased interest rate caps and floors,
only periodic cash payments and, with respect to such caps and floors, premiums
are exchanged. Therefore, cash requirements and exposure to credit risk are
significantly less than the notional value. The Corporation manages these risks
as part of its asset and liability management process and through credit
policies and procedures. The Corporation seeks to minimize the credit risk by
entering into transactions with only a select number of high-quality
institutions, establishing credit limits, requiring bilateral-netting
agreements, and, in certain instances, segregated collateral.
76 PNC BANK
39
The Corporation uses interest rate swaps and purchased caps and floors to
modify the interest rate characteristics of designated interest-bearing assets
or liabilities from fixed to variable, variable to fixed, or one variable index
to another. At December 31, 1998, $8.2 billion of interest rate swaps, caps and
floors were designated to loans. No financial derivatives were designated to
securities available for sale at December 31, 1998. During 1998, derivative
contracts modified the average effective yield on interest-earning assets from
7.90% to 7.92%. At December 31, 1998, $3.6 billion of interest rate swaps were
designated to interest-bearing liabilities. During 1998, derivative contracts
modified the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.78% to 4.77%.
PNC Bank uses a combination of on-balance-sheet instruments and financial
derivatives to manage risk associated with its mortgage banking activities. The
inherent risk affecting the value of MSR is the potential for the related
mortgages to prepay, thereby eliminating the underlying servicing fee income
stream. Generally, derivatives used to hedge the value of MSR have been marked
to market and included in noninterest income.
Forward contracts are used to manage risk positions associated with
mortgage origination activities. Substantially all forward contracts mature
within 90 days of origination. Forward contracts are traded in over-the-counter
markets and do not have standardized terms. Counterparties to the Corporation's
forward contracts are primarily U.S. government agencies and brokers and dealers
in mortgage-backed securities. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet
its contractual obligations, the Corporation may be exposed to selling or
purchasing mortgage loans at prevailing market prices. Unrealized gains or
losses are considered in the lower of cost or market valuation of loans held for
sale.
During 1998, the Corporation entered into a credit default swap to manage
credit risk and regulatory capital associated with commercial lending
activities.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Corporation's exposure to credit losses
with respect to financial derivatives was not material.

NOTE 16 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLANS
The Corporation sponsors incentive savings plans covering substantially all
employees. Under the plans, employee contributions up to 6% of biweekly
compensation, as defined in the plans, subject to Internal Revenue Code
limitations, are matched. Contributions to the plans are matched primarily by
shares of PNC Bank common stock held by the Corporation's employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP").
The Corporation makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the debt
service requirements on the ESOP borrowing less dividends received by the ESOP.
All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. Dividends used
for debt service totaled $9 million in 1998 and $10 million in 1997 and 1996. To
satisfy additional debt service requirements, PNC Bank contributed $7 million in
1998, $13 million in 1997 and $11 million in 1996.
PNC BANK 77
40
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As the ESOP borrowing is repaid, shares are allocated to employees who made
contributions during the year based on the proportion of annual debt service to
total debt service. The Corporation includes all ESOP shares as common shares
outstanding in the earnings per share computation. Components of ESOP shares
are:

Compensation expense related to the portion of contributions matched with ESOP
shares is determined based on the number of ESOP shares allocated. Compensation
expense related to these plans was $9 million for 1998, $11 million for 1997 and
$9 million for 1996.
PENSION PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering
most employees. Retirement benefits are based on certain compensation levels,
age and length of service. Pension contributions are based on an actuarially
determined amount necessary to fund total benefits payable to plan participants.
The Corporation also maintains nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for
certain employees. All retirement benefits provided under these plans are
unfunded and any payments to plan participants are made by the Corporation.
Plan amendments encompassing covered compensation, determination of
benefits, eligibility and interest rates used to calculate certain distributions
from the plans were implemented during 1998. The Corporation also offered an
enhanced voluntary retirement program to certain employees in the defined
benefit plan meeting specific age and service requirements. These special
termination benefits increased pension cost by $10 million in 1998.
A reconciliation of the changes in benefit obligation and plan assets for
the defined benefit and supplemental plans is as follows:

nonqualified supplemental retirement plans had an accumulated benefit obligation
of $67 million and $48 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Plan assets consist primarily of listed common stocks, U.S. government and
agency securities and collective funds. Plan assets are managed by BlackRock and
include no common stock of the Corporation.

common stock available for the granting of options under the Incentive Plan and
the predecessor plans were 10,584,683 at December 31, 1998, 9,012,899 at
December 31, 1997, and 9,723,541 at December 31, 1996.
INCENTIVE SHARE AWARDS
In 1998 and 1997, 241,500 and 313,000 incentive shares of common stock,
respectively, were granted to certain senior executives pursuant to the
Incentive Plan. Issuance of such incentive shares is subject to the market price
of PNC Bank's common stock equaling or exceeding specified levels for defined
periods. The restricted period ends two years after the issue date. During the
restricted period, the recipient receives dividends and can vote the shares. If
the recipient leaves the Corporation within the restricted period, the shares
will be forfeited. During 1998, forfeitures totaled 8,000 shares. At December
31, 1998, the shares granted in 1998 had not met the specified levels required
for issuance. The requirements for the shares granted in 1997 were met on April
6, 1998. As a result of exceeding performance targets, 112.5% of the remaining
1997 shares, or 343,125 shares of restricted common stock were issued.
Compensation expense recognized for incentive share awards was $15 million, $6
million and $3 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Corporation's employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") has approximately 3.9
million shares available for issuance. Persons who have been continuously
employed for at least one year are eligible to participate. Participants
purchase the Corporation's common stock at 85% of the lesser of fair market
value on the first or last day of each offering period. No charge to earnings is
recorded with respect to the ESPP. Shares issued pursuant to the ESPP were as
follows:

For purposes of computing pro forma results, PNC Bank estimated the fair value
of stock options and ESPP shares using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Black-Scholes is predominantly used to value traded options which differ from
PNC Bank's options. The model requires the use of numerous assumptions, many of
which are highly subjective in nature. Therefore, the pro forma results are
estimates of results of operations as if compensation expense had been
recognized for all stock-based compensation plans and are not indicative of the
impact on future periods. The following assumptions were used in the option
pricing model for purposes of estimating pro forma results. The dividend yield
represents average yields over the previous three-year period.

NOTE 20 SEGMENT REPORTING
PNC Bank operates eight major businesses engaged in retail banking, asset
management and wholesale banking activities: PNC Regional Community Bank, PNC
National Consumer Bank, PNC Advisors, BlackRock, PFPC Worldwide, PNC Corporate

on management's assessment of inherent risks and equity levels at independent
companies providing similar products and services. Support areas not directly
aligned with the businesses are allocated primarily based on utilization of

are included in Other in 1998 and 1997. The remainder of Other represents the
impact of asset and liability management, eliminations, reclassifications and

PNC Bank's credit card business was previously a significant component of
PNC National Consumer Bank. In the first quarter of 1999, upon the anticipated
completion of the credit card divestiture, PNC National Consumer Bank will be
combined with PNC Regional Community Bank.
The amounts presented for 1996 represent a previous organization structure

NOTE 21 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Effective January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted 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 and minimum pension
liability adjustments 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 income tax effects allocated to
each component of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not at the present time
anticipate the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such

effect on the Corporation's results of operations in any future reporting
period.

Real and personal property, lease financings, loan customer relationships,
deposit customer intangibles, retail branch networks, fee-based businesses, such
as asset management, mortgage banking and brokerage, trademarks and brand names
are excluded from the amounts set forth above. Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Corporation.
Fair value is defined as the estimated amount at which a financial
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
or other than in a forced or liquidation sale. However, it is not management's
intention to immediately dispose of a significant portion of such financial
instruments, and unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a
forecast of future earnings and cash flows. The derived fair values are
subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and significant judgment and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly impact the derived fair value estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value
amounts for financial instruments.
GENERAL
For short-term financial instruments realizable in three months or less, the
carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair
value. Unless otherwise stated, the rates used in discounted cash flow analyses
are based on market yield curves.
CASH AND SHORT-TERM ASSETS
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and
short-term investments approximate those assets' fair values primarily due to
their short-term nature. For purposes of this disclosure only, short-term assets
include due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks, federal funds sold
and resale agreements, trading securities, customer's acceptance liability and
accrued interest receivable.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The fair value of securities available for sale is based on quoted market
prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value
is estimated using the quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
NET LOANS AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Fair values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash
flows incorporating assumptions about prepayment rates, credit losses and
servicing fees and costs. For credit cards and revolving home equity loans, this
fair value does not include any amount for new loans or the related fees that
will be generated from the existing customer relationships. In the case of
nonaccrual loans, scheduled cash flows exclude interest payments. The carrying
value of loans held for sale approximates fair value.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated based on the present
value of future cash flows.
DEPOSITS
The carrying amounts of noninterest-bearing demand and interest-bearing money
market and savings deposits approximate fair values. For time deposits, fair
values are estimated based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows
taking into account current interest rates.
BORROWED FUNDS
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, commercial paper, acceptances
outstanding and accrued interest payable are considered fair value because of
their short-term nature. For all other borrowed funds, fair values are estimated
based on the discounted value of expected net cash flows taking into account
current interest rates.
UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
Fair values for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are estimated
based on the amount of deferred fees and the creditworthiness of the
counterparties.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER DERIVATIVES
The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based on the discounted value
of the expected net cash flows. The fair value of other derivative instruments
is based on dealer quotes. These fair values represent the estimated amounts the
Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, taking into account
current interest rates.
NOTE 26 SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
The Corporation owns approximately 20% of Electronic Payment Services, Inc.
("EPS"), a privately-held company specializing in account access services. On
March 1, 1999, Concord EFS, Inc. and EPS merged resulting in a substantial gain
for the Corporation.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is based on periodic evaluations of the credit
portfolio by management. These evaluations consider, among other factors,
historic losses within specific industries, current economic conditions, loan
portfolio trends, specific credit reviews and estimates based on subjective
factors.

The following table presents the allocation of allowance for credit losses and
the categories of loans as a percent of total loans. For purposes of this
presentation, the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses has
been assigned to loan categories based on the relative specific and pool
allocation amounts. At December 31, 1998, an assignment of unallocated allowance
was not made to credit cards as a result of the pending sale of this business.
