                         Report of Independent Auditors

Administrative Committee
PNC Bank Corp.
Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the PNC Retirement Savings Plan as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at June
30, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes, (overdue) loans or fixed income obligations and
reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits
and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented
for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each
fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                           PNC Retirement Savings Plan

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             June 30, 1998 and 1997


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

VALUATION

Marketable securities are stated at fair value. Securities are valued at the
last public sale price of the securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
If no sales were reported, and in the case of securities traded over the
counter, the last bid price at the close of business is used. The value of any
security not listed or quoted on any exchange is determined by the last closing
bid price, reference to the bid price of any published quotations in common use,
or by the quotation of a reputable broker.

The fair value of the participation units in the short-term investment funds and
registered investment companies are based on quoted redemption values on the
last business day of the plan year. Loans are valued at the amount of principal
outstanding.

The Plan's assets are concentrated in the stock and bond markets. Realization of
the respective values shown on the statement of net assets available for
benefits is subject to the results of these markets.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the PNC Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

PNC Bank Corp. (PNC Bank) is the sponsor of the Plan. The Plan, which was
established on July 1, 1996, covers substantially all eligible employees of the
following PNC Bank subsidiaries: PNC Mortgage Bank, N.A., PNC Mortgage Corp. of
America, PNC Mortgage Securities Corp. and Spectra Services Corporation.
Effective November 30, 1997, PNC Mortgage Bank, N.A. was merged with and into
PNC Bank, N.A. Former employees of PNC Mortgage Bank, N.A. were transferred to
other subsidiaries that participate in the Plan.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Account balances of eligible employees who formerly participated in PNC Bank
Corp. Incentive Savings Plan (ISP) sponsored by PNC Bank prior to the effective
date of the Plan, were automatically transferred to this Plan. Certain eligible
employees who were deemed grandfathered as defined in the ISP and PNC Bank Corp.
Pension Plan (Pension Plan) had the option to remain in the ISP and Pension Plan
or transfer their accumulated balance to this Plan.

The Plan allows participants to contribute from 1% to 12% of their biweekly
compensation as defined in the Plan on a pretax 401(k) basis subject to Internal
Revenue Service limitations. PNC Bank will match 100% of employee contributions
up to 6% of compensation as defined in the Plan and will contribute 2% of base
compensation (as defined in the Plan) if certain criteria as specified in the
Plan are met. Effective for plan years beginning after July 1,1997, the 6%
matching contributions will be made by the ISP. As such, participants in the
Plan are participants in the ISP with respect to such matching contributions. In
addition, PNC Bank may make discretionary contributions to the Plan. No
discretionary contributions were made for the year ended June 30, 1997. For the
year ended June 30, 1998, an additional matching contribution of $892,000 was
made to eligible participants. This match was the result of shares released from
the ESOP that were in excess of the amount required to satisfy the employer
match on the first 6% of elective deferrals. Participants are fully vested in
their balances, including employer contributions. Plan income is allocated to
participants based on an average participant investment balance on a quarterly
basis.

Participants in the Plan may invest any voluntary contributions, employer basic
contributions and balances rolled over from any prior plans in any of four
investment options: Fund A (an equity fund), Fund B (an intermediate-term fixed
income fund), Fund C (a short-term fixed income fund), and Fund D (PNC Bank
Corp. common stock fund).

Employer matching contributions for participants whose age is 55 years or under
are made in PNC Bank common stock. Participants over age 55 can choose to have
their matching contribution made in PNC Bank common stock or in cash to invest
in the other three funds.

The Plan has a loan feature that allows participants to borrow against their
balance in accordance with the loan policies established by the Administrative
Committee. Such borrowings are reflected in the Loan Fund. Under certain
circumstances, the Plan permits hardship withdrawals by participants.

<PAGE>   14
                           PNC Retirement Savings Plan

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Although it has not expressed an interest to do so, PNC Bank has the right under
the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

The asset management group of PNC Bank, N.A., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary
of PNC Bank, administers the plan assets, maintains discretionary investment
power, and is the safekeeping agent. The Plan also holds shares of registered
investment companies (BlackRock FundsSM, formerly Compass Capital Funds) which
are sponsored and administered by wholly owned subsidiaries of PNC Bank or its
subsidiaries.

4. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated May 26, 1998, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt
from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity
with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the
Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust
is tax-exempt.
