OVERVIEW

PNC BANK CORP. The Corporation is one of the largest diversified financial
services companies in the United States and operates five lines of business:
Consumer Banking, Corporate Banking, Real Estate Banking, Mortgage Banking and
Asset Management. Each line of business focuses on specific customer segments
and offers financial products and services in PNC Bank's primary geographic
markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Kentucky and nationally
through retail distribution networks and alternative delivery channels.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS Net income for the first six months of 1997 was $525
million or $1.61 per fully diluted share compared with $486 million and $1.41
per fully diluted share, respectively, a year ago. Returns on average common
shareholders' equity and average assets were 19.84% and 1.50%, respectively,
compared with 16.99% and 1.36% a year ago.

Total revenue for the first six months of 1997 increased 11.7% compared with the
same period in 1996 primarily due to growth in fee-based revenue. Noninterest
income increased to $859 million for the first six months of 1997 representing a
30.5% increase over the same period in 1996. The increase was broad-based led by
strong growth in asset management, mutual fund servicing, credit card services,
treasury management and capital markets fees. Noninterest income represented 41%
of total revenue compared with 35% in the first half of 1996. Taxable-equivalent
net interest income increased $22 million to $1.3 billion and net interest
margin widened 20 basis points in the comparison to 3.92%. These increases
resulted primarily from a higher-yielding earning asset mix. 

Operating expenses increased $145 million to $1.3 billion largely due to $94
million of incremental costs associated with AAA Financial Services and credit
card-related initiatives. The efficiency ratio was 60.3% for the first six
months of 1997 compared with 59.7% a year ago.

Total assets were $72.0 billion at June 30, 1997. Average earning assets
declined $2.0 billion to $64.0 billion, reflecting continued securities
portfolio reduction partially offset by loan growth. Average securities
declined $5.2 billion to $9.6 billion and represented 14.9% of average earning
assets compared with 22.4% a year ago. Average loans increased $3.5 billion to
$52.4 billion primarily due to significant growth in credit cards partially
offset by reduced indirect automobile lending and loan securitizations.
Excluding purchased credit card portfolios and loan securitizations, loans grew
5.0% and represented 81.8% of average earning assets compared with 74.1% a year
ago.

Asset quality and coverage ratios remained strong. The ratio of nonperforming
assets to loans and foreclosed assets was .83% at June 30, 1997 compared with
 .88% at December 31, 1996 and 1.03% a year ago. The allowance for credit losses
was 310% of nonperforming loans and 2.01% of total loans at June 30, 1997.
Annualized net charge-offs for the first six months of 1997 were .46% of
average loans compared with .29% for the first six months of 1996. The increase
was in line with expectations and was primarily due to charge-offs associated
with purchased credit card portfolios.

Shareholders' equity totaled $5.4 billion at June 30, 1997. The leverage ratio
was 7.35% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.74% and 10.98%,
respectively. During the first six months of 1997, capital management
initiatives continued, including the repurchase of 20.5 million shares of common
stock.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES Financial services providers are challenged by intense
competition, pricing pressures and deregulation. Loan pricing and credit
standards are under competitive pressure as lenders seek to deploy capital and
a broader range of borrowers have access to capital markets. Traditional
deposit activities are subject to pricing pressures and customer migration as
banks and other financial services companies compete for consumer investment
dollars.

PNC Bank's strategies are focused on enhancing shareholder value. The
Corporation continues to transition to a more valuable franchise by reducing
reliance on investment activities and related wholesale funding and increasing
the earnings contribution from the core banking franchise. This transition is
accomplished, in part, by altering the traditional business mix through
investments in businesses with more attractive growth characteristics.
Traditional businesses, such as branch banking and corporate lending have
moderate revenue growth expectations, higher distribution costs and require
significant amounts of capital to support balance sheet leverage. Conversely,
businesses such as Asset Management, Mutual Fund Servicing, Private Banking,
Treasury Management and Capital Markets, have more attractive growth
characteristics, are less capital intensive and generate revenues that are
primarily fee based.

CONSUMER BANKING contributed 49% of total line of business earnings in the
first six months of 1997. Changes in consumer preferences and technological
advancements are transforming the way consumer products and services are
delivered. Retail branches are being managed in conjunction with more
technologically-advanced, cost-efficient distribution channels such as
telebanking, automated teller machines ("ATM") and on-line banking through
personal computers. Development of alternative delivery channels allows PNC
Bank to expand the geographic scope of the Corporation's markets without
incurring the infrastructure costs associated with traditional branch banking.

Through AAA Financial Services, the Corporation offers financial products and
services to AAA's 34 million members nationwide. This initiative represents a
unique opportunity to market and deliver consumer products and services largely
through more efficient alternative distribution channels.

CORPORATE BANKING contributed 28% of total line of business earnings in the
first six months of 1997. Traditional spread-based lending requires high
capital levels and is under intense competition from banks and nonbanks seeking
opportunities to extend credit in a market with narrowing net interest spreads.
In this environment, PNC Bank aggressively manages capital to generate more
appropriate returns.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Corporate Banking is focused on expanding fee-based revenue by developing
products and services as alternatives to spread-based businesses. These include
syndication, treasury management, interest rate risk management and capital
markets. Corporate Banking also provides a full range of leasing and commercial
finance products as alternatives to traditional financings.

REAL ESTATE BANKING has consistently been a leading provider of credit services
to the real estate industry. This line of business is challenged by competitive
lending pressures and disintermediation as nonbank competitors increasingly
enter the market. In this environment, Real Estate Banking is focused on
improving financial returns through business cycles by reducing reliance on
balance sheet leverage, expanding fee-based revenue and enhancing distribution
capabilities. Targeted growth areas include treasury management, loan
syndication, commercial mortgage-backed securitizations, private debt
placements and interest rate risk management services.

MORTGAGE BANKING remains a highly-fragmented, commodity-based business
requiring an efficient infrastructure and increasingly higher origination and
servicing volumes. To remain competitive and produce appropriate returns, the
Mortgage Banking line of business is focused on reducing costs by leveraging
technology to enhance efficiency and service. Mortgage Banking continues to
increase origination capacity by expanding the retail distribution network.

ASSET MANAGEMENT, with $122 billion in managed assets, is among the largest
asset managers in the country. It is the second largest U.S. bank manager of
mutual funds and the third largest mutual fund service provider. Asset
Management's initiatives focus on expanding marketing and delivery channels for
investment products and leveraging mutual fund servicing capabilities. PFPC
Inc., the Corporation's mutual fund servicing business, specializes in providing
institutional clients with custom designed products and custody, transfer agent,
accounting and administrative services. Compass Capital Funds(SM) ("Compass"),
PNC Bank's proprietary mutual fund family, with approximately $13 billion in
assets, provides institutional and individual investors with a full range of
equity, bond and money market investment options. The funds are offered to PNC
Bank's retail customers and marketed nationally through agreements with over 75
brokerage firms. Barron's/Lipper Analytical Services ranked Compass sixth best
among 63 mutual fund families based on overall performance in 1996.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

PNC Bank has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking statements
with respect to earnings per share, AAA Financial Services, credit quality,
corporate objectives 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. Actual
results could differ materially from forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed by the Corporation and those
identified elsewhere in this Financial Review, the following factors, among
others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking
statements: continued pricing pressures on loan and deposit products; success
and timing of AAA and other business strategies; the extent and timing of
capital management actions; competition; changes in economic conditions; the
extent and timing of actions of the Federal Reserve Board; continued customer
disintermediation; customers' acceptance of PNC Bank's products and services;
and the extent and timing of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

management accounting system.

The management accounting process uses various methods of balance sheet and
income statement allocations and transfers to evaluate business unit
performance. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive,
authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to generally
accepted accounting principles. Line of business information is based on
management accounting practices which conform to and support PNC Bank's
management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar information
for any other financial services institution. Allocations and transfers may
change from time to time as the management accounting system is enhanced and
business or product lines change.

The financial results presented herein reflect each line of business as if it
operated on a stand-alone basis. Securities or borrowings, and related interest
rate spreads, have been assigned to each line of business based on the net
asset or liability position. Consumer Banking was a net generator of funds and,
accordingly, was assigned securities, while the other lines of business
received an assignment of borrowings as net asset generators.


Capital is assigned to each business unit based on management's assessment of
inherent risks and equity levels at independent companies that provide similar
products and services. Capital assignments are not equivalent to regulatory
capital guidelines and the total amount assigned will differ from consolidated
shareholders' equity.

Total line of business financial results differ from consolidated financial
results primarily due to asset/liability management activities, unallocated
provision for credit losses and certain other unallocated items.

Asset/liability management activities reflect the residual of the assignment of
wholesale assets and liabilities to the lines of business. These activities also
include securities transactions and the impact of financial derivatives used for
interest rate risk management. Provisions for credit losses are reflected as
charges or credits to earnings to maintain line of business reserves at required
levels. The difference between these provisions and the consolidated provision
is unallocated.

</TABLE>

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

Consumer Banking line of business management is focused on enhancing 
longer-term returns on assigned capital. To accomplish this objective, 
management expects to continue to expand more efficient alternative delivery 
systems and aggressively pursue the AAA initiative.

Consumer Banking earnings contributed 49% of total line of business earnings in
the first six months of 1997 compared with 55% a year ago. Earnings for the
first half of 1997 decreased $12 million or 4%. These results reflect lower
Community Banking earnings, which declined $27 million or 11% to $213 million,
partially offset by a 52% increase in Private Banking earnings to $44 million
for the first half of 1997 due to an increase in loans and higher annuity and
trust income.

Virtually all of the variances in Community Banking results were due to the
effect of the AAA alliance. The start-up phase of this alliance requires
significant investments to market products and services and acquire portfolios.
In addition, credit card growth is accomplished, in part, by offering product
incentives such as "teaser-rates" which initially adversely impact net interest
income and margin until the teaser-rate period expires and yields earned reset
to market rates. The AAA alliance resulted in a net loss of $28 million for the
first six months of 1997.

With respect to the AAA initiative, provisions for credit losses in connection 
with credit card growth as well as increased marketing and operating expenses 
are expected to exceed revenue growth during the start-up period. Overall, the 
AAA alliance is expected to result in a net loss in 1997 of between $50 million 
and $60 million.

</TABLE>

The Corporate Banking line of business includes: Commercial Banking, which
serves large and middle market commercial customers with specific focus on
customers in certain specialized industries, and Equity Management, which makes
venture capital investments.

Corporate Banking contributed 28% of total line of business earnings in the
first six months of 1997 compared with 27% in the same period of 1996. Earnings
for the first six months of 1997 increased $16 million or 12%. 

Commercial Banking earnings increased 23% in the comparison primarily due
to higher fee-based revenue driven by growth initiatives in treasury management
and capital markets. Lower venture capital income caused the decline in Equity
Management earnings.

Corporate Banking traditionally relies on balance sheet leverage to generate 
returns. Traditional spread-based lending requires high capital levels and is 
under intense competition from banks and nonbanks. In this environment, PNC 
Bank aggressively manages capital to generate more appropriate returns. This 
line of business is also focused on expanding fee-based revenue by developing 
products and services as alternatives to spread-based lending.

Management expects Commercial Banking revenue to be generated increasingly from
fee-based sources such as treasury management, capital markets and corporate
finance. Capital markets capabilities continue to be expanded to meet the
changing needs of customers, including merger and acquisition advisory, private
placement, interest rate risk management and leasing products and services.
Through the first six months of 1997, 28% of total revenue was derived from
fee-based sources compared with 25% last year. In addition, deposit balances,
maintained as compensation for non-credit services, increased by 13% in the
comparison. The benefit of these balances is reflected in the 8% increase in
net interest income.

Real Estate Banking serves national, regional and local real estate developers,
owners, property managers and mortgage bankers by providing credit and
noncredit services, commercial mortgage securitization, private debt placements
and treasury management services.

Real Estate Banking contributed 9% of total line of business earnings in the
first six months of 1997 compared with 7% in the year-earlier period. Earnings
increased $8 million or 22% in the comparison as a result of improved credit
quality and a 10% increase in revenue driven primarily by commercial mortgage
securitization fees.

Real Estate Banking has traditionally relied on balance sheet leverage and
required significant levels of assigned capital. Key strategies in this line of
business focus on improving returns by altering the business mix and expanding
fee-based services such as treasury management, loan syndication, commercial
mortgage-backed securitizations, private debt placements and interest rate risk
management.

Mortgage Banking activities include acquisition, origination, securitization
and servicing of residential mortgages, as well as retention of selected loans
in the portfolio.

Mortgage Banking contributed 7% of total line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1997 compared with 5% a year ago. Earnings increased $12 million
or 48% primarily due to increased net interest income from growth in the
residential mortgage portfolio.

The slight decline in noninterest expense reflects lower origination volumes,
benefits of technology-related efficiencies in the loan origination and
servicing functions and lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights
("MSR").  Mortgage Banking results reflect the impact of significant noncash
expense items such as MSR amortization. Excluding the effect of these items,
cash returns currently exceed the Corporation's required return for this line
of business.

During the first six months of 1997, the Corporation funded $2.4 billion of
residential mortgages with 73% representing new financings. The comparable
amounts were $3.0 billion and 63%, respectively, in the first six months of
1996. At June 30, 1997, the mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $40.4 billion,
including $30.0 billion of loans serviced for others, had a weighted-average
coupon of 7.91% and an estimated fair value of $467 million. Capitalized MSR
totaled $339 million at June 30, 1997.

The value of MSR is affected, in part, by changes in interest rates. If
interest rates decline and the rate of prepayment increases, the underlying
servicing fees and related MSR value would also decline. In a period of rising
interest rates, a converse relationship would exist. The Corporation seeks to
manage this risk by using financial instruments whose values move in the
opposite direction of MSR value changes.

The Asset Management line of business includes: Investment Management which
provides liquidity, fixed income, and equity advisory services to institutional,
family wealth and retail clients; and Mutual Fund Servicing which provides
accounting, administration, transfer and custody services to financial
institutions and integrated banking services to the brokerage community.

Asset Management contributed 7% of total line of business earnings in the first
six months of 1997 compared with 6% in the year-earlier period. Earnings
increased $6 million or 19% in the comparison. Fee income increased 20% due to
an increase in assets under administration driven by new business and market
appreciation. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to incremental costs
associated with servicing new business.

Revenue from investment management and mutual fund servicing is included in
Asset Management. Revenue from marketing asset management products and services
to consumers is included in the Consumer Banking line of business, primarily
Private Banking. The following table sets forth revenue and earnings included in
each line of business.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

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

Assets under administration increased $66 billion in the year-to-year
comparison to $371 billion at June 30, 1997. Managed assets totaled $122
billion at June 30, 1997 compared with $104 billion a year ago.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $22 million for the first six
months of 1997 and the net interest margin widened 20 basis points to 3.92%
compared with 3.72% in the prior-year period. Net interest income increased as
the impact of a $2.0 billion decline in average earning assets, attributable to
continued securities portfolio reduction, was offset by a $2.3 billion increase
in higher-yielding credit card loans and growth in residential and commercial
loans. The net interest margin improvement primarily reflects a higher-yielding
earning asset mix.

==========================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

Net interest income and margin depend on a number of factors including the
volume and composition of earning assets, related yields and associated funding
costs. In the first six months of 1997, loans comprised 81.8% of average earning
assets. Accordingly, loan portfolio size, composition and related yields earned
have a significant impact on net interest income and margin. Funding cost is
affected by the composition of and rates paid on various funding sources.
Average deposits comprised 63.0% of PNC Bank's total sources of funding with the
remainder comprised of wholesale funding obtained at prevailing market rates.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The provision for credit losses was $25 million in
the first six months of 1997 compared with no provision a year ago. PNC Bank's
loan portfolio is comprised of an increasingly larger proportion of consumer
loans, primarily credit cards, which have inherently higher charge-offs.
Accordingly, the Corporation anticipates it will continue to record higher
provisions for credit losses throughout 1997.

===============================================================
</TABLE>

Noninterest income before net securities gains totaled $829 million in the
first six months of 1997, a 27.3% increase compared with the same period a
year ago.

Asset management and service fees increased, reflecting a continuing emphasis on
expanding fee-based revenue. Asset management benefited from new business and
market appreciation. Service fees exhibited strong growth in nearly all
categories. Deposit fees increased $23 million due to a revised fee structure
and higher treasury management revenue. Credit card and merchant services fees
increased $32 million, reflecting credit card portfolio growth and the July 1996
termination of a third party alliance.

Mortgage banking revenue declined primarily due to lower origination volumes.
Mortgage originations declined to $2.4 billion in the first half of 1997 from
$3.0 billion in the first half of 1996 reflecting higher refinance activity in
the prior-period.

Other noninterest income increased in the comparison primarily due to asset
securitization income of $45 million and other income, partially offset by
lower venture capital income.

</TABLE>

Noninterest expense increased $145 million to $1.3 billion in the first six
months of 1997 primarily due to $94 million of incremental costs associated
with AAA and credit card-related initiatives. The remaining increase was due to
higher incentive compensation commensurate with revenue growth and the cost of
trust preferred capital securities. Average full-time equivalent employees
totaled 24,570 in the first half of 1997. The efficiency ratio was 60.3%
compared with 59.7% a year ago.

Loans outstanding increased $1.7 billion from year-end 1996 to $53.5 billion at
June 30, 1997. Loan portfolio composition remained relatively consistent in the
comparison and continues to be geographically diversified among numerous
industries and types of businesses. The credit card portfolio increased 33.0%
due to AAA and other marketing initiatives. The decline in student loans
reflects a $1.0 billion securitization.

Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds provided
there is no violation of specified contractual conditions. Commitments are
reported net of participations, assignments and syndications, primarily to
financial institutions.

The securities portfolio declined $3.5 billion from year-end 1996 to $8.4
billion at June 30, 1997. The expected weighted-average life of the securities
portfolio was 3 years at June 30, 1997 compared with 2 years and 11 months at
year-end 1996.

Securities available for sale may be sold as part of the overall
asset/liability management process. Realized gains and losses are reflected in
the results of operations and include gains or losses on associated financial
derivatives.  During the first six months of 1997, $5.4 billion of securities
were sold at a $30 million net gain.

At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, $4.1 billion and $5.5 billion,
respectively, notional value of financial derivatives were designated to
securities available for sale. The net fair values of such financial
derivatives, which are reflected in the table above, were less than $1 million
in both periods.

Deposits decreased 1.0% to $45.2 billion at June 30, 1997 compared with $45.7
billion at year-end 1996. Borrowed funds declined $538 million in the
comparison reflecting reduced wholesale funding related to the downsized
securities portfolio.

CAPITAL The access to and cost of funding new business initiatives including
acquisitions, deposit insurance costs, and the level and nature of expanded
regulatory oversight depend, in large part, on a financial institution's capital
strength. The 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 a bank's particular circumstances warrant. To be classified
as well capitalized, regulators require capital ratios of at least 6% for Tier I
risk-based, 10% for total risk-based and 5% for leverage.

At June 30, 1997, the Corporation and each bank subsidiary were classified as
well capitalized.

The capital position is managed through balance sheet size and composition,
issuance of debt and equity instruments, treasury stock activities, dividend
policies and retention of earnings.

In May 1997, the Corporation issued $300 million of 8.315% mandatorily
redeemable capital securities which qualify as Tier I capital. Subsequent to
quarter end, the Corporation issued $350 million of 6-7/8% subordinated notes
that qualify as Tier II capital.


PNC BANK CORP.  14

<PAGE>   16

During the first six months of 1997, PNC Bank repurchased 20.5 million shares
of common stock. The Corporation's board of directors authorized in April 1997
the repurchase of up to 15 million additional shares of common stock through
March 31, 1998 and has approximately 9.1 million shares remaining under this
authorization.

RISK MANAGEMENT

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

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

During the first six months of 1997, $1.0 billion of student loans were
securitized. As a result, past due guaranteed student loans increased as a
percent of total student loans.

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

Consumer net charge-offs increased $66 million in the comparison primarily due
to higher outstandings associated with purchased credit card portfolios.

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

Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, short-term investments, loans
held for sale and securities available for sale. At June 30, 1997, such assets
totaled $14.5 billion, with $5.4 billion pledged as collateral for borrowing,
trust and other commitments. Liquidity is also provided by residential
mortgages which may be used as collateral for funds obtained through the
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. At June 30, 1997, approximately $5.1
billion of residential mortgages were available as collateral for borrowings
from the FHLB.

During the first six months of 1997, cash and due from banks decreased $340
million to $3.7 billion compared with a decrease of $447 million during the
year-earlier period. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $315
million in the comparison. Net cash provided by investing activities decreased
$850 million to $1.2 billion primarily due to funding loan originations. Net
cash used by financing activities totaled $1.9 billion in the first six months
of 1997 compared with $2.6 billion used a year earlier.

The principal source of parent company revenue and cash flow is dividends from
subsidiary banks. PNC Bancorp, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent
company and is the holding company for all bank subsidiaries. There are legal
limitations on the ability of bank subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other
distributions to PNC Bancorp, Inc. and in turn the parent company. Without
regulatory approval, the amount available for dividend payments to PNC Bancorp,
Inc. by all bank subsidiaries was $261 million at June 30, 1997. Dividends may
also be impacted by capital needs, regulatory requirements, corporate policies,
contractual restrictions and other factors.

Liquidity for the parent company and subsidiaries is also generated through the
issuance of securities in public or private markets and lines of credit. In
July 1997, PNC Bank issued $350 million of subordinated notes. Subsequent to
the issuance of the subordinated notes, the Corporation had unused capacity
under an effective shelf registration statement of $140 million of debt. In
addition, the Corporation had a $500 million unused line of credit.

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

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

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

A number of measures are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk,
including income simulation and interest sensitivity (gap) analyses. In
addition, the Corporation supplements these models with longer-term measures of
interest rate sensitivity including duration of equity and equity at risk. Such
models are designed to estimate the impact on the value of equity resulting
from changes in interest rates and supplement the simulation model and gap
analyses.


An income simulation model is the primary tool used to assess the direction and
magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest
rates. Key assumptions employed in the model include prepayment speeds on
mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of financial instruments,
changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity,
customer preferences, and management's financial and capital plans.

These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot
precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of
higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will
differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of
interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management
strategies, among other factors.

The Corporation's guidelines provide that net interest income should not
decrease by more than 3% if interest rates gradually increase or decrease from
current rates by 100 basis points over a twelve-month period. Based on the
results of the simulation model, the Corporation was within these guidelines at
June 30, 1997.

Additional interest rate scenarios are modeled to address a wider range of rate
movement, yield curve, term structure and basis risk exposures. Depending on
market conditions and other inherent risks, these scenarios may be modeled more
or less frequently. Such analyses are used as supplemental measurements only
and limits have not been established.

A gap analysis represents a point-in-time net position of assets, liabilities
and off-balance-sheet financial derivatives used for interest rate risk
management subject to repricing in specified time periods. Gap analysis does
not accurately measure the magnitude of changes in net interest income since
changes in interest rates over time do not impact all categories of assets,
liabilities and off-balance-sheet instruments equally or simultaneously.

FINANCIAL REVIEW


A cumulative asset-sensitive gap position indicates assets are expected to
reprice more quickly than liabilities. Alternatively, a cumulative
liability-sensitive gap position indicates liabilities are expected to reprice
more quickly than assets. The Corporation's limit for the cumulative one-year
gap position is 10%. At June 30, 1997, the cumulative liability sensitivity of
the one-year gap position was 2.9%.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

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

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

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

The following table sets forth changes in off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives used for interest rate risk management and mortgage banking
activities during the first six months of 1997.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

SECOND QUARTER 1997 VS.
  SECOND QUARTER 1996

Net income for the second quarter of 1997 totaled $259 million or $.81 per
fully diluted share compared with $248 million or $.72 per fully diluted share
a year ago. Returns on average common shareholders' equity and average assets
improved to 20.21% and 1.47%, respectively, in the second quarter of 1997
compared with 17.33% and 1.38% in the prior-year quarter.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $621
million, substantially consistent with the prior-year quarter and the net
interest margin widened 12 basis points to 3.84%. The impact of a $2.2 billion
decline in average earning assets resulting from continued securities portfolio
reduction was offset by loan growth and the benefit of a higher-yielding
earning asset mix.

Noninterest income increased $96 million to $433 million in the second quarter
of 1997 compared with $337 million in the year-earlier period. Asset management
fees increased $22 million or 17% primarily due to higher investment advisory,
private banking and mutual fund servicing revenue. Managed assets totaled $122
billion at June 30, 1997 compared with $104 billion a year ago. Service fees
increased $43 million or 33% primarily from growth in credit card, deposit and
treasury management services and capital markets fee income.

Mortgage banking revenue declined $4 million due to lower origination volumes
and servicing sales. Mortgage originations totaled $1.3 billion in the second
quarter of 1997 compared with $1.6 billion in the year-earlier period. Other
noninterest income increased $26 million in the comparison primarily due to
asset securitization and other income, partially offset by lower venture
capital income.

Noninterest expense increased $75 million to $639 million in the second quarter
of 1997 largely due to $49 million of incremental costs associated with AAA and
credit card-related initiatives. The remaining increase was attributable to
higher incentive compensation commensurate with revenue growth and the cost of
trust preferred capital securities. The efficiency ratio was 60.6% for the
second quarter of 1997 compared with 59.0% a year ago.

Average earning assets declined $2.2 billion to $64.2 billion reflecting
continued securities portfolio reduction partially offset by loan growth.
Average securities declined $5.7 billion to $9.1 billion and represented 14.1%
of average earning assets compared with 22.2% a year ago. Average loans
increased $3.6 billion to $52.8 billion primarily due to significant growth in
credit cards partially offset by reduced indirect lending and loan
securitizations. Excluding purchased credit card portfolios and loan
securitizations, loans grew at an annual rate of 6.0%. Loans represented 82.3%
of average earning assets compared with 74.1% a year ago.

Average interest-bearing funding sources declined $1.1 billion to $54.0 billion
in the second quarter of 1997 primarily due to lower borrowed funds associated
with the securities portfolio reduction. Deposits represented 63.3% of total
sources of funds for the second quarter of 1997 compared with 62.6% a year ago.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BUSINESS PNC Bank Corp. is one of the largest financial services organizations
in the United States operating banking subsidiaries in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts and Florida. The
Corporation's major businesses include Consumer Banking, Corporate Banking,
Mortgage Banking, Real Estate Banking and Asset Management. PNC Bank Corp. is
subject to intense competition from other financial services companies with
respect to these businesses and is subject to the regulations of certain
federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain
regulatory authorities.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and include the accounts of PNC Bank Corp. and its
subsidiaries ("Corporation" or "PNC Bank"), substantially all of which are
wholly owned. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect
all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to reporting classifications
utilized for the current reporting period. These reclassifications did not
impact the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

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

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included in PNC Bank's 1996 Annual Report.


ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is a reserve for
estimated credit losses established through provisions charged against income.
Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account.

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
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.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES The Corporation uses off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives as part of the overall asset/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, and forward contracts.

To accommodate customer needs, PNC Bank also enters into financial derivatives
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 the
results of operations.

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

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS During the first six months of 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued several Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS").

     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," is effective for periods ending after
     December 15, 1997 with retroactive restatement required for all periods
     presented. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, primary and fully diluted
     earnings per share will be replaced with basic and diluted earnings per
     share amounts.


     SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure," is
     effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15,
     1997. This Statement requires disclosure of rights and privileges of
     various securities outstanding.

     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," is effective for fiscal
     years beginning after December 15, 1997. This Statement establishes
     standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
     components. Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes
     in shareholders' equity except those resulting from investments and
     distributions to owners.

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information," is effective for financial statements for periods beginning
     after December 15, 1997. This Statement requires financial and descriptive
     information about an entity's operating segments to be included in the
     annual financial statements.

None of these standards when implemented are expected to materially impact the
reported financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

CASH FLOWS

For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash
and due from banks. During the first six months of 1996, acquisition activity
which affected cash flows consisted of $538 million in assets, $501 million in
liabilities, cash payments totaling $37 million and receipt of $497 million in
cash and due from banks. The Corporation did not have any acquisition activity
in the first six months of 1997.
