NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements of The Chase Manhattan Corporation and
Subsidiaries ("Chase") are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have
been included. In addition, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation.
In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 127, which deferred the effective date of
SFAS 125 relating to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other secured
financing transactions. SFAS 127 will be effective for calendar year 1998. Chase
believes that the adoption of SFAS 127 will not have a material effect on its
earnings, liquidity or capital resources.
NOTE 2- EARNINGS PER SHARE
For a discussion of Chase's current earnings per share policy, see Note One of
the 1996 Annual Report.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 128, which will become effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and
simplifies previously issued accounting standards related to EPS. SFAS 128 has
replaced the concept of "primary EPS" with "basic EPS" and the concept of
"fully-diluted EPS" with "diluted EPS".
Although SFAS 128 was not effective for the financial statements included in
this Form 10-Q, Chase believes that had SFAS 128 been applied to its 1997
financial results, basic EPS would have been approximately $0.05 higher than
primary EPS for the 1997 third quarter and approximately $0.14 higher for the
first nine months of 1997. The differences between fully-diluted EPS and diluted
EPS for these periods would have been immaterial.

NOTE 4 - SECURITIES
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to securities, see Note One
of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
The valuation of available-for-sale securities under SFAS 115 resulted in a net
after-tax favorable impact of $126 million on Chase's stockholders' equity at
September 30, 1997. This is compared with a net after-tax unfavorable impact of
$288 million at December 31, 1996. The change from 1996 year-end was due to
decreases in U.S. dollar interest rates during 1997, which caused an increase in
the market value of the securities portfolio. Included in these amounts are
loans which are subject to SFAS 115.

Item 1. (continued)
Net gains from available-for-sale securities sold in the third quarter of 1997

million). For the first nine months of 1997, net gains were $189 million (gross
gains of $327 million and gross losses of $138 million). Net gains on these
sales for the same periods in 1996 amounted to $34 million (gross gains of $83
million and gross losses of $49 million) and $110 million (gross gains of $234
million and gross losses of $124 million), respectively.

NOTE 7 - GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN CORPORATION'S JUNIOR
SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES
In late 1996 and early 1997, Chase established three separate wholly owned
statutory business trusts, which issued an aggregate $1,390 million in capital
securities, net of discount. The capital securities qualify as Tier 1 Capital
for Chase. The proceeds from each issuance were invested in a corresponding
series of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of Chase. The sole
assets of each statutory business trust are these debentures. Chase has fully
and unconditionally guaranteed each of the business trusts' obligations under
each trust's capital securities. Each trust's capital securities are subject to
mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures at
their stated maturity or earlier redemption.
The following is a summary of Chase's outstanding capital securities, net of
discount, issued by each trust:

NOTE 8 - RISK-BASED CAPITAL
For a discussion of the calculation of risk-based capital ratios, the various
regulatory guidelines and significant banking subsidiaries, see Notes One and
Sixteen of Chase's 1996 Annual Report. During the 1997 third quarter, Chase
elected early adoption of the Federal Reserve Board's new guidelines for the
risk-based capital standards, which incorporate a measure for market risk
consistent with the principles adopted by the Basle Committee on Banking
Supervision under the Basle Capital Accord. The new guidelines require banks and
bank holding companies that have significant market risk exposure to measure
that risk utilizing a value-at-risk model, based on the parameters contained in
the guidelines, and to maintain a commensurate amount of capital. In addition,
the assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments, and related capital, of
Chase's securities subsidiary, Chase Securities Inc., are now included in the
calculation of these ratios, while the provisions of SFAS 115 continue to be
excluded.
The following table presents the capital ratios for Chase and its significant
banking subsidiaries. Assets and capital amounts for Chase's banking
subsidiaries reflect intercompany transactions, whereas the respective amounts
for Chase reflect the elimination of intercompany transactions.

positions, weighted by the type of instruments and the risk weight of the
counterparty, collateral or guarantor.
(b) Tier 1 Capital divided by adjusted average assets (net of allowance for
credit losses, goodwill and certain intangible assets).
(c) The provisions of SFAS 115 do not apply to the calculation of these ratios.
(d) Texas Commerce and Chase USA are not required to adopt the new guidelines
for market risk-adjusted capital, since their levels of trading activity do
not meet the required threshold stipulated in the guidelines.
NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Chase utilizes various derivative and foreign exchange financial instruments for
trading purposes and for purposes other than trading, such as asset/liability
management ("ALM"). These financial instruments represent contracts with
counterparties where payments are made to or from the counterparty based upon
specific interest rates, currency levels, other market rates or on terms
predetermined by the contract. These derivative and foreign exchange
transactions involve, to varying degrees, credit risk and market risk. For a
discussion of these risks, see Note Seventeen of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
DERIVATIVE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS USED FOR TRADING PURPOSES: The
financial instruments used for Chase's trading activities are disclosed in Note
3 of this Form 10-Q. The credit risk relating to trading activities is recorded
on the balance sheet, while the market risk of the trading activities is
reflected in trading revenue, as trading instruments are marked-to-market on a
daily basis.
DERIVATIVE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS USED FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN
TRADING: A discussion of Chase's objectives and strategies for employing
derivative and foreign exchange instruments for ALM activities is included on
pages 55-58 of the 1996 Annual Report. A discussion of the accounting policies
relating to derivatives used for ALM activities is provided in Note One of
Chase's 1996 Annual Report.

Certain forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Chase's actual results may differ materially from those set forth
in such forward-looking statements. Reference is made to Chase's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular the Form 8-K dated
October 21, 1997, and the 1996 Annual Report for a discussion of factors that
may cause such differences to occur. See Glossary of Terms on page 47 for a
definition of terms used throughout the 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
Chase's net income before restructuring costs for the 1997 third quarter was
$1,027 million, an increase of 17%, when compared with the 1996 third quarter.
Primary earnings per share ("primary EPS") and fully diluted earnings per share
("fully-diluted EPS") in the third quarter of 1997 both rose 23% from the
comparable 1996 quarter. Reported net income in the 1997 third quarter was $982
million, up 14% from the 1996 third quarter. Primary and fully-diluted EPS on
reported net income were $2.17 and $2.16, respectively, in 1997, both up 21%
from the 1996 third quarter.
Net income before restructuring costs for the first nine months of 1997 was
$2,942 million, an increase of $257 million from the same 1996 period. Primary
and fully-diluted EPS for the first nine months of 1997 both increased 13% to
$6.40 and $6.32, respectively, compared with the same periods of 1996. Reported
net income for the first nine months of 1997 was $2,834 million compared with
$1,625 million for 1996. Primary and fully-diluted EPS increased for the first
nine months of 1997 to $6.16 and $6.08, respectively, from $3.28 and $3.23,
respectively, in 1996.
Chase's total operating revenue for the 1997 third quarter was $4,409 million,
an increase of 12% from the same 1996 period. For the first nine months of
1997, total operating revenue increased to $12,655 million, or 6%, from the
comparable 1996 period. On a managed basis, which excludes the impact of credit
card securitizations, total operating revenue for the 1997 third quarter
increased 15% to $4,677 million and for the 1997 first nine months increased 9%
to $13,425 million. The increases for both periods were due to growth in
various businesses including consumer credit, asset management and private
banking, operating services, trading and investment banking.
The 1997 third quarter included incremental merger savings of $130 million,
which were offset by investment spending and increased incentive costs related
to higher revenues. The 1997 third quarter also included $85 million of expenses
due to the accelerated vesting of stock-based incentive awards and restructuring
expenses of $71 million. Total noninterest expenses, before merger-related
restructuring costs, and excluding the aforementioned $85 million charge, rose
9% in the 1997 third quarter.
Chase's efficiency ratio improved to 56.7% for the third quarter of 1997
(excluding the aforementioned $85 million charge), compared with 58.2% for the
comparable 1996 period. Excluding the impact of credit card securitizations, the
efficiency ratio for the third quarters of 1997 and 1996 was 53.4% and 56.1%,
respectively.
During the 1997 third quarter, Chase purchased approximately 7.0 million common
shares as part of a stock repurchase plan announced in October of 1996 and also
reissued approximately 4.3 million treasury shares under its employee benefit
plans, resulting in a net repurchase of 2.7 million shares. From the inception
of the program through September 30, 1997, Chase has repurchased 31.4 million
common shares ($3.0 billion) and reissued approximately 11.3 million treasury
shares under its benefit plans, resulting in a net repurchase of 20.1 million
shares ($2.1 billion).
During the third quarter, Chase elected early adoption of the Federal Reserve
Board's new guidelines for calculating market risk-adjusted capital. These
guidelines incorporate the use of internal models to measure market risk. In
addition, the capital and assets of Chase Securities Inc. are included in the
calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Giving effect to the adoption of these
guidelines, Chase's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 7.8% and
11.6%, respectively, and its leverage ratio was 6.0% at September 30, 1997.
MARKET DEVELOPMENTS SINCE SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
In the latter part of October, trading markets became difficult and unusually
volatile. There were sharp declines and a loss of liquidity for certain
securities, particularly emerging markets securities.
As a result of these market developments, Chase's trading revenue (including
trading-related net interest income) for the month of October amounted to a loss
of approximately $160 million before tax.
The October trading results and the ongoing uncertain market environment present
some risk that Chase will be unable to achieve its previously announced 1997
target of 15% annual growth in operating earnings per share.
Chase's other previously announced 1997 financial goals are: managed revenue
growth of 6% to 8%; return on common stockholders' equity of 19%; an efficiency
ratio of between 54% and 55%; and incremental merger savings of $635 million to
$680 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Reported net interest income for the 1997 third quarter was $2,046 million, an
increase of $20 million from the 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months,
net interest income was $6,079 million in 1997, a decrease of $48 million from
the 1996 level (excluding $54 million of interest income, in 1996, related to
Federal and State tax audit settlements). Excluding the impact of
securitizations and the 1996 tax audit settlements, net interest income on a
managed basis increased 4% in the 1997 third quarter and 3% for the first nine
months of 1997, reflecting a higher level of liquid interest-earning assets to
support Chase's trading businesses.

and rates, see the Average Balance Sheets on pages 44 and 45.
The reported and managed net yields on average interest-earning assets decreased
in the 1997 third quarter and first nine months compared with the same 1996
periods. The declines in net yield are primarily due to a higher level of
lower-yielding liquid assets, driven by Chase's trading businesses, and
generally narrower spreads on interest-earning assets.
-18-
19
Average interest-earning assets retained on the balance sheet increased by 10%
in the third quarter of 1997 and 9% in the first nine months of 1997,
principally as a result of the increase in liquid interest-earning assets.
Liquid interest-earning assets (in particular trading-related assets) increased
in the 1997 third quarter and first nine months by 18% and 22%, respectively.
Average total loans (both commercial and consumer) and securities also increased
in both 1997 periods, but decreased slightly as a percentage of total
interest-earning assets. The growth in interest-earning assets in both 1997
periods was funded by an increase in Federal funds purchased and securities sold
under repurchase agreements, which provide short-term funding for
trading-related positions. Additionally, higher deposit levels and other
borrowings also contributed to funding the growth in interest-earning assets.

Management anticipates that, given its current expectations for interest rate
movements for the remainder of 1997, Chase's managed net interest income in 1997
will be approximately 3% higher than in 1996 (excluding the impact of tax audit
settlements in 1996).
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Chase's provision for credit losses, which has equaled net charge-offs, amounted
to $190 million in the 1997 third quarter and $599 million for the first nine
months of 1997. These results compare with $220 million and $715 million,
respectively, for the prior year's periods. The decreases in the provision were
the result of lower consumer net charge-offs on a retained basis as well as
lower domestic commercial net charge-offs. Commercial net charge-offs remained
at historically low levels, consistent with the prior year.
Management currently expects that the provision for credit losses for full-year
1997 (which is anticipated to continue to equal net charge-offs) will be equal
to or lower than the full-year 1996 provision. This is primarily a result of the
continued strong performance in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio.
For a discussion of Chase's net charge-offs, see the Credit Risk Management
Section on pages 30-36.

Noninterest revenue rose 24% and 15% for the 1997 third quarter and nine month
periods, respectively, reflecting a broad spectrum of fee-based and, in
particular, market sensitive increases. The 1997 third quarter was particularly
strong with record results in several key areas (notably trading, corporate
finance and equity-related revenues, which are market sensitive categories, and
trust fees). Chase continues to generate overall fee growth by offering clients
integrated financing and advisory solutions and new products and by generating
new business. Noninterest revenue in the first nine months of 1997 included a
$44 million gain on the sale of a partially-owned foreign investment and in 1996
included a $60 million loss on the sale of a building in Japan.

FEES AND COMMISSIONS
Corporate finance and syndication fees of $308 million in the 1997 third
quarter increased by $71 million, or 30%, over the 1996 third quarter and
exceeded the record second quarter 1997 levels by 9%. These results are due to
strong investment banking deal flow, reflecting market share gains in high-yield
and investment-grade debt underwriting. Corporate finance and syndication fees
for the first nine months of 1997 rose $36 million reflecting strong growth in
fees from debt securities underwriting and higher levels of corporate finance
activity outside the United States.
Trust, custody and investment management fees rose 15% to a record $338 million
in the 1997 third quarter and rose 10% to $969 million in the first nine months
of 1997. These favorable results were largely attributable to growth in domestic
and foreign assets under custody, expanded securities lending activity, and a
higher level of assets under management, including Chase's proprietary Vista
mutual funds.

Credit card revenue rose 10% in the 1997 third quarter and increased 12% for the
first nine months of 1997, as a result of growth in managed outstandings,
including the Wal-Mart co-branded product. The increases in revenue for both
1997 periods was partially offset by a rise in net charge-offs on the
securitized portfolio, which reduced the excess servicing fees Chase received
from the securitizations. Average managed credit card receivables grew to $27.1
billion in the third quarter of 1997, compared with $23.9 billion for the prior
year's third quarter. For a further discussion of the credit card portfolio and
related securitization activity, see page 33 of this Form 10-Q.

the portfolio of Source One Mortgage Services Corporation ("Source One") in
February 1997.
Higher fees related to insurance products, brokerage commissions, investment
services and cash management services contributed to the increase in other fees.

Trading-related revenues of $678 million for the 1997 third quarter represents
the second consecutive record quarter, and are 43% above last year's third
quarter results. Revenues from foreign exchange, emerging market activities and
derivatives were particularly strong during the 1997 third quarter.
-21-
22
The increase in revenue from interest rate contracts was primarily due to higher
volume as a result of volatility exhibited in the overseas markets, in
particular, Europe and Asia. The rise in foreign exchange revenue reflected
strong earnings across a broad spectrum of currencies. This was the result of
recent volatility in the Asian markets and an increase in cross-currency trading
activity in the European markets caused by uncertainty as to the integration of
the European Monetary System. Debt instruments and other revenue remained at
high levels, primarily as a result of strong performances in both emerging
markets in Latin America and Eastern Europe and the U.S. securities business.
Also contributing to the debt instruments and other category is growth in
specialty derivative products.
Trading revenues are affected by many factors, including volatility of
currencies and interest rates, the volume of transactions executed by Chase on
behalf of its customers, Chase's success in proprietary positioning, the credit
standing of Chase, and the steps taken by central banks and governments which
affect financial markets. Chase expects its trading revenues will fluctuate as
these factors will vary from period to period. On November 13, 1997, Chase
announced that total trading revenues (including trading-related net interest
income) for the month of October amounted to a loss of approximately $160
million before tax. The loss was the result of unusually volatile and
adverse trading markets in the latter part of October, characterized by sharp
declines and a loss of liquidity for certain securities, particularly emerging
markets securities. See "Market Developments Since September 30, 1997".

Securities gains resulted from sales from the available-for-sale portfolio made
in connection with Chase's asset/liability management activities. The higher
gains in 1997 were primarily the result of sales of U.S. Government and agency
securities in the 1997 third and second quarters and sales of securities
overseas in the 1997 first quarter.
Revenue from equity-related investments includes income from domestic and
international venture capital activities. The 1997 third quarter results of $243
million were a record for Chase and were significantly higher than the prior
year's quarter and the quarterly average of approximately $180 million for the
previous eight quarters. During the 1997 third quarter, gains in Chase's
portfolio reflected market conditions which continued to favor corporate mergers
and small-cap stocks. For the first nine months of 1997, revenue from
equity-related investments was $586 million, an increase of 6% compared with
1996. At September 30, 1997, the carrying value of Chase's equity-related
investments approximated $3.2 billion. Chase believes that equity-related
investments will continue to make contributions to its earnings although the
timing of the recognition of gains is unpredictable and revenues could vary
significantly from period to period.
Other revenue declined $9 million in the 1997 third quarter, but rose $232
million for the first nine months, when compared with the prior year's periods.
The 1997 results included higher residential mortgage origination and sales
revenue resulting from favorable secondary market conditions and higher gains on
portfolio sales.
All other revenue also includes Chase's investment in CIT Group Holdings, Inc.
("CIT"), which contributed revenue of $16 million in the third quarter and $48
million for the first nine months of 1997, compared with $12 million and $37
million in the respective 1996 periods.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense, excluding restructuring costs, was $2,590 million in the
1997 third quarter, an increase of 13% from the prior year's quarter, and was
$7,407 million for the first nine months of 1997, an increase of 5% from the
same 1996 period. The 1997 results for both periods included investment spending
on new product offerings and technology, higher incentive costs and the
accelerated vesting of stock based incentive awards. Partially offsetting these
expenses were incremental merger savings of $130 million and $520 million,
respectively, in the 1997 third quarter and first nine months.
For the 1997 third quarter and first nine months, underlying operating
noninterest expense growth was 14% and 10%, respectively (see Glossary of Terms
on page 47). Management believes that underlying operating noninterest expense
growth for the full year of 1997 will exceed 6% due to investment spending in
targeted growth businesses.

SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The increase in salaries for the 1997 third quarter and first nine months was
primarily due to higher incentive costs as a result of higher earnings,
particularly trading results, investments in a number of growth businesses, as
well as competitive market pressures across many segments of the Global
Wholesale franchise. Also, the increase in salaries for both 1997 periods
reflected the accelerated vesting of stock-based incentive awards which resulted
in a charge of $85 million in the 1997 third quarter and $50 million in the 1997
first quarter.

The slight increase in full-time equivalent employees since December 31, and

Employee benefits were down slightly in the 1997 third quarter, and decreased
$94 million for the nine month period. Included in the results for 1996 was a
$40 million charge related to conforming retirement benefits provided to foreign
employees. Contributing to the decline in employee benefits during 1997 was
lower pension expense.
-23-
24
OCCUPANCY AND EQUIPMENT EXPENSE
Occupancy expense in the 1997 third quarter and first nine months decreased by
$10 million and $58 million, respectively. These decreases were largely a result
of the consolidation of operations and branch facilities from merger integration
efforts. The higher level of equipment expense was primarily the result of
increased software expenses to enhance processing systems throughout Chase, and
technology expenditures necessary to support targeted growth businesses.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In connection with the merger of The Chase Manhattan Corporation ("heritage
Chase") and Chemical Banking Corporation ("heritage Chemical"), $1.9 billion of
one-time merger-related costs were identified, of which $1.65 billion was taken
as a restructuring charge on March 31, 1996. The remaining merger-related
expenses originally estimated at $250 million did not qualify for immediate
recognition under an existing accounting pronouncement and were not included in
the $1.65 billion charge. Merger-related expenses of $71 million were incurred
in the third quarter 1997, resulting in cumulative-to-date merger-related
expenses of $336 million.
Chase currently expects that merger-related expenses will rise by $100 million
to $125 million from its previous estimate of $250 million. These additional
costs primarily relate to technology and systems integration costs.
At September 30, 1997, the reserve balance associated with the $1.65 billion
merger-related restructuring charge was approximately $550 million, the
majority of which is related to the disposition of certain facilities, premises
and equipment.

Other expense for the 1997 third quarter and first nine months increased by $48
million and $113 million, respectively. The increase includes expenses related
to marketing and other costs for the co-branding of the Wal-Mart MasterCard
which began in the fourth quarter of 1996. Also contributing to the increase in
marketing expense is the promotion of PC Banking, and Better Banking products
and services. In addition, there is approximately $11 million per quarter of
minority interest expense associated with the REIT, which commenced in the 1996
fourth quarter. Partially offsetting these increases were lower
telecommunications expenses for both 1997 periods, due to Chase's sourcing and
other expense-reduction initiatives.
INCOME TAXES
Chase recognized income tax expense of $576 million in the third quarter of
1997, compared with $527 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first
nine months, Chase recorded income tax expense of $1,687 million in 1997,
compared with $837 million in 1996. The 1996 amount includes tax benefits
related to the restructuring charge as well as aggregate tax benefits and
refunds of $132 million. Chase's effective tax rate was 37.0% for the third
quarter and 37.3% for the first nine months of 1997, compared with 38.0%
(excluding the aforementioned tax benefits and refunds) for both 1996 periods.

GLOBAL WHOLESALE BANKING
Global Wholesale Banking provides financing, advisory, sales and trading, trade
finance, asset management, private banking and operating services. Clients
include corporations, institutions, governments and wealthy individuals located
around the world. Through its Global Wholesale Banking businesses, Chase is
driving towards a new model for the delivery of global financial services,
integrating product expertise, industry knowledge and geographic reach to effect
superior customer solutions. Global Wholesale Banking operates in more than 50
countries, including major operations in all key international financial
centers. Terminal Businesses, representing discontinued portfolios (primarily
the remaining refinancing country debt and commercial real estate problem asset
and nonperforming portfolios), are also included in Global Wholesale Banking.
Global Wholesale Banking's operating net income for the third quarter of 1997
was $736 million, an increase of $245 million over the 1996 third quarter.
Operating return on equity in the third quarter of 1997 was 28.7% compared with
19.3% in 1996. Global Wholesale Banking's operating net income of $2,078 million
and operating return on equity of 28.1% for the first nine months of 1997
increased from last year's results of $1,656 million and 21.8%, respectively.
These favorable results were due to significant revenue growth
throughout Chase's wholesale businesses, primarily higher trading-related
revenue due to increases in foreign exchange and interest rate activities,
strong growth in specialty derivative products and continued high levels of
securities trading and underwriting.
The following table sets forth certain key financial performance measures of the
businesses within Global Wholesale Banking for the periods indicated.

GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANKING AND CORPORATE LENDING
Global Investment Banking and Corporate Lending finances and advises
corporations, financial sponsors and governments by providing integrated
one-stop financial solutions and industry expertise to clients globally. Client
industries include broker/dealers, chemicals, healthcare, insurance, media and
telecommunications, multinationals, natural resources, oil and gas, power and
environmental, real estate, retail and transportation. Product offerings
encompass syndicated finance, high-yield securities, merger and acquisitions,
project finance, restructuring, private placements, lease financing and lending.
Chase continues to maintain its lead position in loan syndication and in
leveraged finance. Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $177 million,
relatively flat when compared to the third quarter of 1996 reflecting higher
corporate finance and syndication fees due to market share gains in high-yield
underwriting and higher levels of corporate finance activities outside the
United States. These increases were offset by the favorable impact of a large
transaction gain during the 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months of
1997, net income of $491 million decreased $44 million compared with the same
period in 1996 due to a decline in net interest income coupled with the
favorable impact on the 1996 nine month results of several large transactions.
GLOBAL MARKETS
Global Markets' activities encompass the trading and sales of foreign exchange,
derivatives, fixed income securities and commodities, including related
origination functions. A leader in capital markets, Chase operates 24 hours a
day covering the major international cross-border financial markets, as well as
many local markets in both developed and developing countries. Global Markets is
a recognized world leader in such key activities as foreign exchange, interest
rate swaps and emerging markets debt. The strong growth in trading-related
revenue contributed to the favorable 1997 results. For the third quarter of
1997, net income was $287 million with a return on common equity of 45%,
compared with 1996's third quarter results of $217 million and 38%,
respectively. For the first nine months of 1997, net income was $898 million
with a return on common equity of 53% representing a substantial increase from
the first nine months results of 1996 of $595 million and 34%, respectively.
Trading-related revenue of $638 million for the 1997 third quarter reflected
record trading results and is an increase of 30% from last year's third quarter
results. These results reflect the benefits during the first nine months of
1997 of increasing demand and a positive trading environment. For the first
nine months of 1997, trading-related revenue was $1,868 million, an increase of
27% from last year's results driven by higher foreign exchange, derivatives, and
securities results worldwide. Also, included within Global Markets are the
domestic and international treasury units which have the primary responsibility
of managing Chase's asset/liability and investment securities activities. ALM
activities in the treasury units are managed on a total return basis with one
of the major objectives being the creation of economic value over time. The
gross total return from ALM activities for the 1997 third quarter was $134
million and for the first nine months of 1997 was $557 million.
CHASE CAPITAL PARTNERS
Chase Capital Partners ("CCP") is a global private equity organization with
approximately $4.6 billion under management, including $3.2 billion in
equity-related investments. CCP provides equity and mezzanine financing and
employs professionals focused on investing in the United States, Europe, Asia
and Latin America, for a wide variety of investment opportunities. During the
first nine months of 1997, CCP's direct investments totaled $433 million in over
73 venture capital, management buyout, recapitalization, growth equity and
mezzanine transactions. Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $123
million, a $90 million increase from the 1996 third quarter, reflecting
significant equity-related gains as market conditions continued to favor
corporate mergers and small-cap stocks. For the first nine months of 1997, net
income was $292 million, an $8 million decrease from last year's nine month
results, reflecting a lower number of large transaction gains in 1997 when
compared with the same period in 1996.
GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND PRIVATE BANKING
The Global Asset Management and Private Banking group serves a global client
base of wealthy individuals, institutional investors and mutual fund investors.
Services include asset management for institutional investors, Vista Mutual
Funds (at September 30, 1997, the fourth largest bank-managed fund family in the
U.S.), and a full range of private banking capabilities, including investment
management, trust and estates, custody, and advisory services for wealthy
individuals around the world. Total assets under management amounted to $152
billion at September 30, 1997. Net income was $43 million in the 1997 third
quarter, a $16 million increase from the third quarter of 1996, reflecting an
increased volume of global banking transactions for private banking clients and
higher levels of client assets. For the first nine months of 1997, net income
grew 26% to $110 million, with a return on common equity of 33%, due to a higher
level of assets under management and increased investment advisory activities.
The 1996 nine month results included a $23 million pre-tax gain on the sale of
certain deposits.
GLOBAL SERVICES
Global Services is a leading provider of information and transaction services
globally. As the world's largest provider of global custody and a leader in
trust and agency services, Global Services was custodian for over $4.0 trillion
in assets at September 30, 1997 and serviced over $1.6 trillion in outstanding
debt. Global Services also operates the largest U.S. dollar funds transfer
business in the world and is a market leader in FedWire, ACH and CHIPS volume.
Net income in the third quarter of 1997 was $103 million, an increase of $39
million or 61% from 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months of 1997, net
income increased 39% from last year's results to $262 million. Return on common
equity for the 1997 third quarter was 42% and for the first nine months of 1997,
it was 33%; excluding the impact of goodwill, the return on tangible common
equity was 56% and 44%, respectively. These favorable results are due to strong
revenue growth primarily in global investor services and global trust,
reflecting an increase in assets under custody and new business initiatives, as
well as continued productivity gains.

REGIONAL AND NATIONWIDE CONSUMER BANKING (RNCB)
The Regional and Nationwide Consumer Banking franchise, as of September 30,
1997, included the fourth-largest bank credit card issuer in the U.S., the
third-largest originator and the second-largest servicer of residential
mortgages and a leading provider of auto financing and other consumer lending
products. Chase maintains a leading market share position in the New York
metropolitan tri-state area in serving the financial needs of consumers, middle
market commercial enterprises and small businesses. It offers customers
convenient access to financial services by telephone, PC, and the Internet, and
has the most branches and ATMs in the New York metropolitan tri-state area.
Additionally, included in RNCB is Texas Commerce Bank, which is the
second-largest bank in Texas and a leader in providing financial products and
services to businesses and individuals throughout Texas. RNCB also includes a
small international consumer presence which is highly profitable.
RNCB's operating net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $387 million, a
$40 million increase from the 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months of
1997, RNCB's operating net income was $1,054 million, a $35 million increase
when compared with last year's results. The favorable impacts from higher
revenue (which was driven by higher loan volume in credit cards and mortgage
banking products) and from the benefit of merger-related savings were partially
offset by higher credit provisions for credit cards and auto loans and higher
expenses related to marketing initiatives and new product offerings.
The following table sets forth certain key financial performance measures of the
businesses within RNCB for the periods indicated.

CREDIT CARDS
Chase Cardmember Services ranked as the fourth largest bank card issuer in the
United States as of September 30, 1997, with a $27.4 billion managed portfolio.
Included in the portfolio is $4.7 billion in outstandings related to the
co-branded Shell MasterCard. For the third quarter of 1997, net income
(reflected on a managed basis) was $86 million, a $5 million increase from the
1996 third quarter. For the first nine months of 1997, net income was $180
million, a $44 million decrease from the same period in 1996. Earnings for the
first nine months of 1997 were driven by a 14% revenue increase generated from
growth in both the core portfolio and from co-branded initiatives and the
effects of higher fees and risk-based pricing initiatives. However, net income
declined as a result of higher credit card charge-offs and expenses related to
the launch of the Wal-Mart co-branded credit card.
RETAIL PAYMENTS & INVESTMENTS
At September 30, 1997, Retail Payments and Investments has the leading share of
primary bank relationships among consumers and small businesses in the New York
metropolitan tri-state area. In addition to its tri-state businesses, Retail
Payments and Investments includes discount brokerage services and Chase's
nationwide insurance and investment products. Retail Payments and Investments
allows customers to choose the way they handle their financial relationships,
offering telephone, PC and Internet banking in addition to branches and ATMs.
Net income in the third quarter of 1997 was $82 million, an increase of $14
million when compared to 1996's third quarter. For the first nine months, net
income was $241 million in 1997, an increase of $29 million from 1996. The
improvement in net income is due primarily to lower noninterest expense,
reflecting staff reductions and branch consolidations, coupled with the impact
of higher deposit volumes and higher fees from insurance products.
MIDDLE MARKET
Chase is the premier provider of financial services to middle-market companies
(companies with sales ranging from $10 to $500 million) regionally, with a
national focus in selected industries. Also, it is the market leader in the New
York metropolitan tri-state area where it has relationships with 53% of middle
market companies and is the lead bank for 25% of such companies. Net income for
the 1997 third quarter was $52 million, a $6 million increase when compared with
the 1996 third quarter, due primarily to higher corporate finance fees. For the
first nine months of 1997, net income was $162 million, a 14% increase from last
year's nine month results, due to higher deposit volume and staff reductions.
MORTGAGE BANKING
At September 30, 1997, Mortgage Banking is the third-largest originator and
second largest servicer of residential mortgage loans in the U.S., serving more
than 1.8 million customers nationwide. In 1997, Chase completed the acquisition
of Source One's $17 billion portfolio of mortgage servicing rights and at
September 30, 1997, Chase's servicing portfolio totaled $166.2 billion. In the
first nine months of 1997, $25.0 billion in loans were originated. Net income in
the third quarter of 1997 was $51 million, a $16 million increase from the 1996
third quarter. The increase is attributable to higher gains from mortgage
warehouse and sub-prime loan sales and from an increase in origination fees. For
the first nine months of 1997, net income was $143 million, a $59 million
increase from last year's nine month results, reflecting a 15% increase in
revenue. The increase is the result of a higher level of servicing assets, an
increase in net interest income due to loan growth, and a 6% decrease in
expenses due to merger saves and the productivity gains resulting from the
reengineering of the mortgage origination business. Return on common equity for
the 1997 third quarter is 19% and for the first nine months of 1997 is 16%;
however, excluding the impact of goodwill, the return on tangible common equity
is 28% and 23% for both periods, respectively.
NATIONAL CONSUMER FINANCE
National Consumer Finance is a leading provider of auto financing, home equity
secured lending, student lending, unsecured consumer lending (Chase Advantage
Credit) and manufactured housing financing. At September 30, 1997, Chase Auto
Finance had $11.6 billion in outstandings with $7.5 billion in new originations
for the first nine months of 1997. Net income in the third quarter of 1997 was
$32 million which was flat when compared with the 1996 third quarter. For the
first nine months of 1997, net income was $87 million, a $14 million decrease
from last year's nine month results. The results for both periods in 1997
include revenue growth due to an increase in loan volume, which was offset by a
higher credit provision. The growth in revenue for the first nine months of 1997
when compared to the same 1996 period, was partially offset by the impact of a
joint venture formed with Sallie Mae in the 1996 fourth quarter, which is
accounted for on the equity basis. Excluding the effects of this joint venture,
year-to-date revenue grew by 16%.
INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER
International Consumer provides loan, deposit, investment and insurance products
for individuals in Hong Kong. Also, included is The Manhattan Card Company
Limited (Chase's 54% owned subsidiary) which is the third-largest credit card
issuer in Hong Kong. Additionally, Chase has a leading full-service banking
presence in Panama and the Eastern Caribbean, providing deposit, investment and
asset products for individuals, small businesses, large corporations and
government entities. Net income for the third quarter of 1997 is $12 million and
for the first nine months of 1997 is $41 million, which is a $3 million decrease
in both periods when compared to the same 1996 periods. The 1997 nine month
results were driven by a 4% growth in revenue, reflecting higher loan volumes,
offset by higher expenses, primarily due to investment spending, and higher
credit costs.
-29-
30
TEXAS COMMERCE
Texas Commerce is the primary bank for more large corporations and middle market
companies than any other bank in Texas. Texas Commerce also maintains a strong
consumer banking presence through its 125 locations. Additionally, Texas
Commerce was the largest bank for personal and corporate trust services in the
Southwest. As of September 30, 1997, Texas Commerce had $22.5 billion in total
assets. Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $84 million, a $12 million
increase when compared with the 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months of
1997, net income was $222 million, an $18 million increase from last year's nine
month results. Texas Commerce continues to produce solid revenue growth,
reflecting an increase in fee-based activities and higher loan and deposit
volumes. This is partially offset by higher expenses and credit costs. Return on
common equity for the 1997 third quarter is 23% and for the first nine months of
1997 is 20%; however, excluding the impact of goodwill, the return on tangible
common equity is 29% and 26%, respectively.
CORPORATE
Corporate includes the management results attributed to Chase's investment in
CIT and some effects remaining at the Corporate level after the implementation
of management accounting policies, including residual credit provision and tax
expense. The securitized portion of the credit card portfolio is included in
Corporate. Corporate also includes one-time unallocated special items such as
merger-related restructuring charges and expenses as well as tax refunds. For
the third quarter of 1997, Corporate had an operating net loss of $96 million
compared with operating net income of $40 million in the 1996 third quarter. For
the first nine months of 1997, Corporate had an operating net loss of $190
million compared to a $60 million operating net loss in the first nine months of
1996. Included in the 1997 results were $135 million of expenses related to the
accelerated vesting of stock-based incentive awards ($85 million after-tax).
Chase's economic risk-based methodology for capital is allocated on a business
unit level basis for credit, market and operating risk, with the unallocated
portion of capital included in Corporate. In 1997, Corporate had unallocated
equity of $2,538 million in the third quarter and $2,462 million in the first
nine months, compared with $1,827 million in the 1996 third quarter and $1,691
million in the first nine months of 1996. The increases in unallocated capital
reflects the continued improvement of the overall risk profile of Chase and the
generation of retained earnings.
Lines-of-business results are subject to restatement as appropriate whenever
there are refinements in management reporting policies or changes to the
management organization. The current presentation of the lines-of-business
results have been restated to reflect a single, uniform post-merger set of
management accounting policies.
Guidelines exist for assigning expenses that are not directly incurred by the
businesses, such as overhead and taxes, as well as for allocating shareholders'
equity and the provision for credit losses, utilizing a risk-based methodology.
Also, incorporated in the guidelines is a process for matching assets and
liabilities with similar maturity, liquidity and interest characteristics within
each business. Noninterest expenses of Chase are fully allocated to the business
units except for special corporate one-time charges. The provision for credit
losses is allocated to the wholesale bank and commercial businesses based on a
consistently applied credit risk methodology and a risk-grading system
appropriate for a business unit's portfolio. For the retail consumer businesses,
provision for credit losses are assigned utilizing a net charge-off methodology.
Long-term expected tax rates are assigned in evaluating Chase's businesses.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
The following discussion of Chase's credit risk management focuses primarily on
developments since December 31, 1996 and should be read in conjunction with
pages 48-54 of Chase's 1996 Annual Report. A description of Chase's accounting
policies for its nonperforming assets is provided in Note One of Chase's 1996
Annual Report.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Chase's loans outstanding totaled $163.1 billion at September 30, 1997, compared
with $155.1 billion at the 1996 year-end. The increase reflects higher demand
for consumer and commercial loans, partially offset by the impact of credit
card, auto loan, residential and commercial mortgage securitizations.
Chase's nonperforming assets at September 30, 1997 were $1,036 million, a
decrease of $115 million from the 1996 year-end level. The reduction reflects
the ongoing improvement in Chase's credit profile as a result of a lower level
of loans being placed on nonperforming status, repayments, charge-offs, and
continuing loan workout and collection activities.
Total net charge-offs were $190 million in the third quarter of 1997, compared
with $220 million for the comparable period in 1996. For the first nine months,
net charge-offs were $599 million in 1997, compared with $715 million in 1996.
The amount for the first nine months of 1996 excludes a charge of $102 million
related to conforming the credit card charge-off policies of the two predecessor
banks. Total net charge-offs (on a managed basis, which excludes the impact of
credit card securitizations) were $436 million in the 1997 third quarter,
compared with $364 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine
months, total net charge-offs (on a managed basis) were $1,315 million in 1997,
compared with $1,098 million in 1996 (excluding the aforementioned charge of
$102 million). The increases in managed net charge-offs for both 1997 periods
reflect growth in average managed credit card outstandings and higher levels of
personal bankruptcies and delinquencies.

$38 million and $54 million at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,

DOMESTIC CONSUMER PORTFOLIO
Residential Mortgage Loans: Residential mortgage loans were $38.7 billion at
September 30, 1997, reflecting a $2.1 billion increase during 1997 largely due
to a higher level of adjustable-rate loan outstandings. At September 30, 1997,
nonperforming domestic residential mortgage loans as a percentage of the
portfolio was 0.84%, compared with 0.68% at the 1996 year-end.
The following table presents the residential mortgage servicing portfolio
activity for the periods indicated. A discussion of Chase's mortgage servicing
and loan origination activities is included on pages 49-50 of Chase's 1996
Annual Report.

(a)Represents acquisition of Source One servicing portfolio in February 1997.
Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), which are included in other assets, amounted
to $1,861 million at September 30, 1997, compared with $1,404 million at
December 31, 1996. The higher level of MSRs reflects the corresponding increase
in Chase's residential mortgage servicing portfolio partly due to the
acquisition of the Source One servicing portfolio. The Source One acquisition
added $246 million of MSRs at September 30, 1997. Chase continually evaluates
prepayment exposure of the servicing portfolio, adjusting the balance and
remaining life of the servicing rights as a result of prepayments, and utilizes
derivative contracts (interest rate swaps and purchased option contracts) to
reduce its exposure to such prepayment risks. At September 30, 1997, the
carrying value of these derivative contracts was $113 million, and gross
unrecognized gains and losses were $51 million and $35 million, respectively,
resulting in an estimated positive fair value of $129 million.
Credit Card Loans: Chase analyzes its credit card portfolio on a "managed
basis", which includes credit card receivables on the balance sheet as well as
credit card receivables that have been securitized. During the third quarter of
1997, Chase securitized $2.0 billion of credit card receivables. No credit card
receivables were securitized during the third quarter of 1996. During the first
nine months of 1997, Chase securitized $3.4 billion of credit card receivables,
compared with $5.8 billion in the same 1996 period. For the third quarter of
1997, average managed receivables were $27.1 billion, compared with $23.9
billion in the 1996 third quarter, reflecting the continued growth in credit
card outstandings.

The increase in net charge-offs on managed credit card receivables for both the
three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 1997, when compared with
the same 1996 periods, reflects growth in average managed credit card
outstandings and higher levels of personal bankruptcies and delinquencies. Net
charge-offs for the 1997 third quarter have decreased when compared with the
1997 second quarter. This decrease is due to the slight improvement in the
levels of personal bankruptcies and delinquencies during the 1997 third quarter.
Management currently believes that credit card net charge-offs peaked in the
second quarter of 1997. Additionally, management expects that Chase's credit
card net charge-offs, as a percentage of average managed credit card
receivables, will be approximately 5.6% to 5.7% for the full year 1997.
During October 1997 Chase agreed to purchase substantially all of The Bank of
New York's credit card portfolio, totaling approximately 3.5 million accounts
and approximately $4.0 billion in outstandings. The acquisition is expected to
be completed by year-end 1997.
Credit Card Securitizations: For a discussion of Chase's credit card
securitizations, see page 51 of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
The following table outlines the impact of the securitizations of credit card
receivables by showing the favorable (unfavorable) change in the reported
Consolidated Statement of Income line items for the periods indicated.

Other Revenue (7) -- (9) 11
----- ----- ----- -----
Pre-tax Income (Loss) Impact of Securitizations $ (19) $ (1) $ (40) $ (2)
===== ===== ===== =====
The pre-tax loss on securitizations for both 1997 periods is due to the impact
of upfront losses arising at the time of the securitizations in 1997 (as a
result of the implementation of SFAS 125), which will be subsequently recovered
as higher credit card revenue over the life of the securitizations. In addition,
the amortization of gains from prior years' securitizations reduced the 1997
pre-tax amounts. Credit card securitizations have no net pre-tax impact on
Chase's income statement over the life of a securitization. Therefore, the
amounts in the above table reflect the timing of gain/loss recognition
associated with these securitizations.
Auto Financings: The auto financing portfolio, which consists of auto loans and
leases, was $13.4 billion at September 30, 1997 and $11.1 billion at December
31, 1996. The increase reflected continued strong consumer demand due to
favorable pricing programs, partially offset by the impact of auto loan
securitizations. Total originations were $8.2 billion in the first nine months
of 1997, compared with $9.3 billion in the same 1996 period. Chase securitized
approximately $2.1 billion of auto loans during the first nine months of 1997,
compared with $3.0 billion during the first nine months of 1996. Net charge-offs
related to auto financings were $15 million in the 1997 third quarter, compared
with $11 million in the same period in 1996. For the first nine months, net
charge-offs of auto financings were $42 million in 1997, compared with $25
million in 1996. The increased level of net charge-offs related to auto
financings in both 1997 periods primarily reflects growth in the portfolio and
unfavorable performance in a discontinued product line.
-33-
34
Other Consumer Loans: Other consumer loans, which includes student loans,
unsecured revolving lines of credit, and secured installment loans, decreased by
$.9 billion at September 30, 1997. This decrease was due to the sale of
recreational vehicle and marine loan portfolios in the 1997 third quarter. The
increase in net charge-offs for the 1997 first nine months reflects higher
personal bankruptcies related to unsecured revolving lines of credit.
DOMESTIC COMMERCIAL PORTFOLIO
Domestic Commercial and Industrial Portfolio: The domestic commercial and
industrial portfolio totaled $38.8 billion at September 30, 1997, an increase
from $34.7 billion at December 31, 1996. The portfolio consists primarily of
loans made to large corporate and middle market customers and is broadly
diversified geographically and by industry.
Nonperforming domestic commercial and industrial loans were $308 million at
September 30, 1997, compared with $444 million at December 31, 1996. In the
third quarter of 1997, Chase had net charge-offs of $15 million compared with
net recoveries of $4 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine
months, net charge-offs were $33 million in 1997 compared with $90 million in
1996.
Management expects commercial and industrial loan net charge-offs for full-year
1997 to be equal to or lower than the 1996 full-year level, primarily as a
result of the continued strong performance in the commercial and industrial
loan portfolio.
Domestic Commercial Real Estate Portfolio: The domestic commercial real estate
portfolio represents loans secured primarily by real property, other than loans
secured by one-to-four family residential properties (which are included in the
consumer loan portfolio). The domestic commercial real estate loan portfolio
totaled $6.6 billion at September 30, 1997, an increase of 10% from December 31,
1996, reflecting increased loan originations during the 1997 third quarter. A
substantial portion of the loans originated during the 1997 third quarter are in
the process of being syndicated or securitized.
The table below sets forth the major components of the domestic commercial real
estate loan portfolio.

Commercial Mortgages $ 5,594 $ 5,040

======= ========
Nonperforming domestic commercial real estate loans were $119 million at
September 30, 1997, a $37 million decrease from the December 31, 1996 level.
Domestic Financial Institutions Portfolio: The domestic financial institutions
portfolio includes loans to commercial banks and companies whose businesses
primarily involve lending, financing, investing, underwriting, or insurance.
Loans to domestic financial institutions were $5.1 billion, or 3% of total loans
outstanding, at September 30, 1997, compared with $5.5 billion at December 31,
1996. The portfolio continued to maintain its strong credit quality during the
first nine months of 1997.
FOREIGN PORTFOLIO
Foreign portfolio includes commercial and industrial loans, loans to financial
institutions, commercial real estate, loans to foreign governments and official
institutions, and consumer loans. At September 30, 1997, Chase's total foreign
loans were $40.6 billion, compared with $39.8 billion at December 31, 1996. The
portfolio included foreign commercial and industrial loans of $25.5 billion at
September 30, 1997, an increase of $2.3 billion from the 1996 year-end.
Foreign nonperforming loans at September 30, 1997 were $146 million, an $11
million increase from December 31, 1996. Net recoveries of foreign loans were $7
million in the 1997 third quarter, compared with net charge-offs of $8 million
in the 1996 third quarter. For the first nine months, foreign loan net
recoveries were $5 million in 1997, compared with net recoveries of $19 million
in 1996.
INDUSTRY DIVERSIFICATION
Based upon the industry classifications utilized by Chase at September 30, 1997,
there were no industry segments which exceeded 5% of total Commercial and
Industrial loans outstanding.

DERIVATIVE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of its business, Chase utilizes various derivative and
foreign exchange financial instruments to meet the financial needs of its
customers, to generate revenues through its trading activities, and to manage
its exposure to fluctuations in interest and currency rates. For a discussion of
the derivative and foreign exchange financial instruments utilized in connection
with Chase's trading activities and asset/liability management activities,
including the notional amounts and credit exposure outstandings as well as the
credit and market risks involved, see Notes 3 and 9 of this Form 10-Q and pages
52-58 and Notes One and Seventeen of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
Many of Chase's derivative and foreign exchange contracts are short-term, which
mitigates credit risk as transactions settle quickly. The following table
provides the remaining maturities of derivative and foreign exchange contracts
outstanding at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Percentages are based
upon remaining contract life of mark-to-market exposure amounts. Mark-to-market
exposure is a measure, at a point in time, of the value of a derivative or
foreign exchange contract in the open market.

Chase routinely enters into derivative and foreign exchange transactions with
regulated financial institutions, which Chase believes have relatively low
credit risk. At September 30, 1997, approximately 86% of the mark-to-market
exposure of these transactions was with commercial bank and financial
institution counterparties, most of which are dealers in these products.
Nonfinancial institutions accounted for approximately 14% of Chase's derivative
and foreign exchange mark-to-market exposure. Additionally, at September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, nonperforming derivatives contracts were immaterial.
Chase does not deal, to any significant extent, in derivatives, which dealers of
derivatives (such as other banks and financial institutions) consider to be
"leveraged". As a result, the mark-to-market exposure as well as the notional
amount of such derivatives were insignificant at September 30, 1997.
-35-
36
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is available to absorb potential credit losses
from the entire loan portfolio, as well as derivative and foreign exchange
contracts, letters of credit, guarantees and undrawn legal commitments. As of
September 30, 1997, the allowance for credit losses has been allocated into
three components: a $3,462 million allowance for loan losses, which is reported
net in Loans; a $75 million allowance for credit losses on derivative and
foreign exchange financial instruments, which is reported net in Trading
Assets-Risk Management Instruments; and a $170 million allowance for credit
losses on letters of credit, guarantees, and undrawn legal commitments, which is
reported in Other Liabilities. During the first nine months of 1997, there were
no provisions or charge-offs made to the latter two components. However, there
was a transfer of $100 million from the allowance for loan losses to the
allowance for credit losses on letters of credit, guarantees and undrawn legal
commitments during the 1997 second quarter as a result of the inclusion in the
evaluation of the allowance of undrawn legal commitments. The 1996 amounts have
not been reclassified due to immateriality.
Chase deems its allowance for credit losses at September 30, 1997 to be adequate
(i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that may currently exist in the portfolio,
but are not yet identifiable). Estimating potential future losses is inherently
uncertain and depends on many factors, including general macroeconomic and
political conditions, rating migration, structural changes within industries
which alter competitive positions, event risk, unexpected correlations within
the portfolio, and other external factors such as legal and regulatory
requirements. Chase periodically reviews such factors and reassesses the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
The accompanying table reflects the activity in Chase's allowance for loan
losses for the periods indicated.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
The following discussion of Chase's market risk management focuses primarily on
developments since December 31, 1996 and should be read in conjunction with
pages 54-58 and Notes One and Seventeen of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
Measuring Market Risk: Market risk is measured and monitored on a daily basis
through a value-at-risk ("VAR") methodology, which captures the potential
overnight dollar loss from adverse market movements. The quantification of
market risk through a VAR methodology requires a number of key assumptions
including confidence level for losses, number of days of price history, holding
period, measurement of inter-business correlation, and the treatment of risks
outside the VAR methodology, such as event risk and liquidity risk.
[GRAPHIC OF DAILY MARKET RISK-RELATED REVENUES]
The preceding chart contains a histogram of Chase's daily market risk-related
revenue. Market risk-related revenue is defined as the daily change in value in
marked-to-market trading portfolios plus any trading-related net interest income
or other revenue. Net interest income related to funding and investment activity
is excluded. Based on actual trading results for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1997, which captures the historical correlation among business
units, 95% of the variation in Chase's daily trading results fell within a $30
million band centered on the daily average amount of $11 million. For the twelve
months ended September 30, 1997, Chase posted positive daily market risk-related
revenue for 244 out of 259 business trading days for international and domestic
units. For 228 of the 259 days, Chase's daily market risk-related revenue or
losses occurred within the negative $5 million through positive $20 million
range, which is representative of Chase's emphasis on market-making, sales and
arbitrage activities. In the latter part of October, trading markets became
difficult and unusually volatile. There were sharp declines and a loss of
liquidity for certain securities, particularly emerging markets securities.
During the period from October 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997, there were
6 days with negative market risk-related revenue, including 5 days where
the daily loss exceeded $10 million. See "Market Developments Since September
30, 1997".
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
Chase's interest rate risk profile is generally managed with consideration for
both total return and reported earnings. Interest rate risk arises from a
variety of factors, including differences in the timing between the contractual
maturity or repricing (the "repricing") of Chase's assets and liabilities and
derivative financial instruments, as the repricing characteristics of its loans
and other assets do not necessarily match those of its deposits, other
borrowings and capital. Chase, as part of its ALM process, employs a variety of
cash (primarily securities) and derivative instruments in managing its exposure
to fluctuations in market interest rates.
Measuring Interest Rate Sensitivity:
In managing exposure, Chase uses quantifications of net gap exposure, and
earnings and valuation sensitivity measures. An example of aggregate net gap
analysis is presented below. Assets, liabilities and derivative instruments are
placed in gap intervals based on their repricing dates. Assets and liabilities
for which no specific contractual repricing or maturity dates exist or whose
contractual maturities do not reflect their expected maturities are placed in
gap intervals based on management's judgment and statistical analysis concerning
their most likely repricing behaviors.
A net gap for each time period is calculated by subtracting the liabilities
repricing in that interval from the assets repricing. A negative gap - more
liabilities repricing than assets - will benefit net interest income in a
declining interest rate environment and will detract from net interest income in
a rising interest rate environment. Conversely, a positive gap - more assets
repricing than liabilities - will benefit net interest income if rates are
rising and will detract from net interest income in a falling rate environment.

At September 30, 1997, Chase had $11,840 million more liabilities than assets
repricing within one year (including the net repricing effects of derivative
positions). This compares with $7,945 million more liabilities than assets
repricing within one year, or 2% of total assets, at December 31, 1996.
As of September 30, 1997, Chase's earnings at risk to an immediate 100 basis
point rise in interest rates is estimated to be approximately 2.5% of Chase's
projected after-tax net income for the next twelve months. An immediate 100
basis point rise in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario, used to
measure risk, and does not necessarily represent management's current view of
future market developments. At December 31, 1996, Chase's earnings at risk to a
similar increase in market rates was estimated to be approximately 3.5% of
projected 1997 after-tax net income.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps are one of the various financial
instruments used in Chase's ALM activities. The following table summarizes the
outstanding ALM interest rate swap notional amounts at September 30, 1997, by
twelve-month intervals (i.e., October 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998). The
decrease in notional amounts from one period to the next period represents
maturities of the underlying contracts. The weighted-average fixed interest
rates to be received and paid on such swaps are presented for each twelve-month
interval. The three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), provided for
reference in the following table, reflects the average implied forward yield
curve for that index as of September 30, 1997. However, actual repricings will
be based on the applicable rates in effect at the actual repricing date. To the
extent rates change, the variable rates paid or received will change. Chase
expects the impact of any interest rate changes on these swaps to be largely
mitigated by corresponding changes in the interest rates and values associated
with the linked assets and liabilities.

The unfavorable impact on net interest income from Chase's ALM derivative
activities was $79 million in the third quarter and $128 million for the first
nine months of 1997, compared with an unfavorable impact of $20 million for the
third quarter and $55 million for the first nine months of 1996. Chase also has
derivatives that affect noninterest revenue (such as derivatives linked to
mortgage servicing rights).
The following table reflects the deferred gains/losses on closed derivative
contracts and unrecognized gains/losses on open derivative contracts utilized in
Chase's ALM activities at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

The net deferred losses at September 30, 1997 are expected to be amortized as

interest rates on anticipated transactions; however, such transactions are not
significant. Accordingly, at September 30, 1997, deferred gains and losses
associated with these transactions were not material.
Included in the table above are gross unrecognized losses from daily margin
settlements on open futures contracts, which were $3 million at September 30,
1997. The net unrecognized losses shown above do not include the net favorable

OPERATING RISK MANAGEMENT
Chase, like all large financial institutions, is exposed to many types of
operating risk, including the risk of fraud by employees or outsiders,
unauthorized transactions by employees, and errors relating to computer and
telecommunications systems. Chase maintains a system of controls that is
designed to keep operating risk at appropriate levels in view of the financial
strength of Chase, the characteristics of the businesses and markets in which
Chase operates, competitive circumstances and regulatory considerations.
However, from time to time in the past, Chase has suffered losses from operating
risk and there can be no assurance that Chase will not suffer such losses in the
future.
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
The following capital and liquidity discussion should be read in conjunction
with the Capital and Liquidity Risk Management section on pages 58-59 and Note
Sixteen of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
CAPITAL
During the 1997 third quarter, Chase elected early adoption of the Federal
Reserve Board's new guidelines for the risk-based capital standards, which
incorporate a measure for market risk consistent with the principles adopted by
the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision under the Basle Capital Accord. The
new guidelines require banks and bank holding companies that have significant
market risk exposure to measure that risk utilizing a value-at-risk model, based
on the parameters contained in the guidelines, and to maintain a commensurate
amount of capital. In addition, the assets and off-balance sheet financial
instruments, and related capital, of Chase's securities subsidiary, Chase
Securities Inc., are now included in the calculation of these ratios, while the
provisions of SFAS 115 continue to be excluded. Prior periods have not been
restated.
Chase's level of capital at September 30, 1997 remained well in excess of
regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 1997, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios
were 7.83% and 11.63%, respectively, and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.03%.
Chase is committed to maintaining a disciplined capital policy. As part of this
policy, Chase intends to maintain its capital at levels that will allow it to
support its growth and make investments, including acquisitions in its core
businesses. It has also, as part of this policy, targeted a Tier 1 Capital ratio
of 8% to 8.25%.
During the first nine months of 1997, the total capitalization of Chase (the sum
of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital) increased by $2.8 billion to $32.2 billion. The
increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Chase Securities Inc., as
mentioned above, and the issuance of $790 million of capital securities (net of
discount) by certain Chase subsidiaries (See Note 7 of this Form 10-Q).
Partially offsetting these amounts was the redemption of $910 million of
preferred stock.
In October 1996, Chase announced a common stock purchase program. The program
authorizes Chase to purchase through December 31, 1998 up to $2.5 billion of its
common stock, plus such amount of its common stock as may be necessary to
provide for expected issuances under Chase's dividend reinvestment plans and its
various stock-based director and employee benefit plans. From inception through
September 30, 1997, Chase repurchased 31.4 million common shares ($3.1 billion)
and reissued from treasury approximately 11.3 million common shares ($1.0
billion) under its benefit plans, resulting in a net repurchase of 20.1 million
common shares ($2.1 billion). Management currently intends to complete its
stock buy-back program in early 1998.
In the first quarter of 1997, Chase raised the cash dividend on its common stock
to $.62 per share, from $.56 per share. Management currently expects that
Chase's dividend policy will generally be to pay a common stock dividend equal
to approximately 25% to 35% of Chase's net income (excluding restructuring
charges) less preferred stock dividends. Chase's future dividend policies will
be determined by its Board of Directors, taking into consideration Chase's
earnings and financial condition and applicable governmental regulations and
policies.

LIQUIDITY
Chase is an active participant in the capital markets. It raises funds from time
to time through the issuance of commercial paper, medium-term notes, long-term
debt, and common and preferred stock. At September 30, 1997, Chase's long-term
debt was $13,899 million. Chase issued $2,635 million of long-term debt during
the first nine months of 1997; during the same period, $1,181 million of
long-term debt matured and $265 million was redeemed. Chase constantly evaluates
the opportunities to redeem its outstanding debt and preferred stock in light of
current market conditions.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Supervision and
Regulation section on pages 2-5 of Chase's 1996 Annual Report.
DIVIDENDS
Chase's bank subsidiaries could, without the approval of their relevant banking
regulators, pay dividends to their respective bank holding companies in amounts
up to the limitations imposed upon such banks by regulatory restrictions. These
dividend limitations, in the aggregate, totaled approximately $2.3 billion at
September 30, 1997.
In addition to the dividend restrictions set forth in statutes and regulations,
the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") have authority under the
Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prohibit or to limit the payment of
dividends by the banking organizations they supervise, including Chase and its
subsidiaries that are banks or bank holding companies, if, in the banking
regulator's opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound
practice in light of the financial condition of the banking organization.
FDICIA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
required the FDIC to establish a risk-based assessment system for FDIC deposit
insurance. FDICIA also contained provisions limiting certain activities and
business methods of depository institutions. Finally, FDICIA provided for
expanded regulation of depository institutions and their affiliates, including
parent holding companies, by such institutions' appropriate Federal banking
regulator. Each of Chase's banking institutions were "well capitalized" as that
term is defined under the various regulations promulgated under FDICIA.
Therefore, Chase does not expect such regulations to have a material adverse
impact on its business operations.
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS
DERIVATIVE AND MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Release in January 1997 that
will require Chase, commencing with the Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1997, to supplement in certain respects its current disclosures
relating to derivatives and certain other financial instruments. Chase expects
its 1997 Annual Report will conform to the new disclosure requirements.
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130. SFAS 130 will become effective for
financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 1998. SFAS 130 defines
the concept of "comprehensive income" and establishes the standards for
reporting "comprehensive income". Comprehensive income is defined to include net
income, as currently reported, as well as unrealized gains and losses in
available-for-sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments and
certain other items not included in the income statement. SFAS 130 also sets
forth requirements on how comprehensive income should be presented as part of an
issuer's financial statements. Chase is currently assessing how it will disclose
comprehensive income in its financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 130 will
not affect Chase's earnings, liquidity or capital resources.
SEGMENTS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131. SFAS 131 will become effective for
financial statements for the year ended 1998. SFAS 131 defines the criteria by
which an issuer is to determine the number and nature of its "operating
segments" and sets forth the financial information that is required to be
disclosed about such operating segments. Chase is currently assessing the manner
in which it will disclose the required information.

EXHIBIT 11
THE CHASE MANHATTAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income for primary and fully-diluted EPS are computed by subtracting from
the applicable earnings the dividend requirements on preferred stock to arrive
at earnings applicable to common stock and dividing this amount by the
