Item 5. Other Events
- --------------------

     On April 15, 1997,  The Chase  Manhattan  Corporation  (the  "Corporation")
reported  net income of $927  million,  including  merger-related  restructuring
costs,  compared  with a loss of $89  million in the 1996 first  quarter  (which
included the  merger-related  charge of $1.026 billion).  On an operating basis,
net  income in the 1997  first  quarter  was $946  million,  compared  with $867
million in the 1996 first quarter.

     In connection with reporting its 1997 first quarter results, management of
the Corporation  reaffirmed  its operating performance targets  for  1997. These
include:  (i) annual growth in operating  earnings per share of 15%; (ii) return
on average  common equity of 19%;  (iii) an efficiency  ratio of 54%-55%;  (iv)
annual  operating  revenue  growth of 6%-8%;  (v)  annual  growth in  underlying
operating  non-interest expense (that is, operating  non-interest expense before
giving effect to any  merger-related  cost savings) of  5%-6%;  (vi) incremental
merger  savings  of  approximately  $635-$680  million;  and  (vii)  substantial
completion of its previously announced common stock buy-back program.


     With respect to credit  quality,  management stated that it expected credit
card net charge-offs  to increase  in the second quarter of 1997 and to decline
thereafter.  Management also indicated that it currently  projected  credit card
net charge-offs,  as a percentage of average managed credit card receivables, to
be approximately 5.6% for full year 1997.

     With  respect to capital policies, management indicated that it intended to
redeem  certain  series of preferred  stock which become  callable in the second
quarter of the year. Finally,  management indicated that it had taken actions to
reduce the  Corporation's  interest rate  sensitivity,  and that as of March 31,
1997, the Corporation's earnings at risk to an immediate 100 basis point rise in
interest rates is estimated to be approximately 2% of the Corporation's 
projected after-tax net income.  An immediate 100 basis point rise in interest 
rates is an hypothetical  rate  scenario,  used to measure  risk,  and does not
necessarily represent management's current view of future market developments.

     A copy of the Corporation's press release is attached as an exhibit hereto.
That press release and this Current Report on Form 8-K contain statements that 
are forward-looking  within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995.  Such  statements  are subject to risks and  uncertainties  
and the Corporation's  actual results may differ materially from those set forth
in such forward-looking  statements.  Factors  that would  affect the  prospects
of the Corporation's business are discussed in the Annual Report to Stockholders
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     Chase's Operating Income Rises to $946 million in the 1997 First Quarter
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York, April 15, 1997 - The Chase Manhattan  Corporation today reported fully
diluted earnings per share of $2.01, before merger-related  restructuring costs,
an eleven  percent  increase  from $1.81 in the first  quarter of 1996.  Primary
earnings per share were $2.02 compared with $1.82 in the same 1996 quarter.

Operating net income in the 1997 first quarter rose nine percent to $946 million
from $867 million in the same 1996 quarter.

   First Quarter 1997 Highlights
   -----------------------------

   - Revenue on a managed basis grew five percent, led by strong global markets,
     credit card and mortgage banking  revenues,  and higher custody, trust and
     asset management fees 
   - Expenses declined two percent, reflecting incremental merger savings of 
     $205 million and underlying  growth of six percent
   - Return  on  average  common  stockholders' equity  rose to  19.5  percent,
     compared with 18.0 percent 
   - The efficiency ratio on a managed basis improved to 54.5 percent from 58.0
     percent
   - The Corporation  repurchased  $609 million of its common equity during the
     quarter

     "First quarter earnings  reflect the benefits of Chase's balanced  business
portfolio, with key wholesale and retail areas contributing solid results," said
Walter V. Shipley,  chairman and chief executive officer.  "While revenue growth
in the quarter was lower than our 1997 target,  financial  performance continues
to be strong,  as demonstrated by the significant  improvement in the efficiency
ratio and a higher return on equity."

     Including merger-related  restructuring costs, net income in the 1997 first
quarter was $927 million,  compared with a loss of $89 million in the prior-year
first quarter,  which included a merger related charge of $1,026 million, net of
taxes, and special items totaling $70 million, net of taxes.

LINE OF BUSINESS RESULTS

Global Wholesale Banking
- ------------------------

     Operating net income for Global  Wholesale  Banking in the first quarter of
1997  rose five  percent  from the  first  quarter  of 1996,  due  primarily  to
significant revenue growth throughout Chase's global markets  businesses.  Total
trading  revenues were $586 million,  including $173 million of  trading-related
net  interest  income,  reflecting  higher  foreign  exchange,  derivatives  and
securities results worldwide. Global markets also benefited from higher treasury
revenues in the 1997 first quarter in keeping with the  Corporation's  policy of
managing  this  function on a total return  basis.  Revenues  from Chase Capital
Partners,  while in line with the last eight  quarters,  declined from extremely
strong first quarter 1996 levels.

     Net  income  from  global  services  rose by 21  percent  in the 1997 first
quarter.  Revenues  within  global  investor  services  and  global  trust  were
particularly  strong,  reflecting active new business pipelines.  Net income for
global asset  management and private  banking  increased  eight percent,  due to
higher assets under management and increased client activity.

     Global investment banking and corporate lending results declined,  compared
with first  quarter 1996 levels.  While loan  syndication  volume  increased and
Chase  maintained  its lead  position  in the  market,  a  change  in the mix of
business within the quarter led to lower transaction fees than in the prior-year
quarter.  Revenues from securities underwriting  increased,  particularly in the
high yield area where Chase's market share grew substantially.

Regional and Nationwide Consumer Banking
- ----------------------------------------

     Regional and  Nationwide  Consumer  Banking  operating net income rose four
percent in the 1997 first quarter, reflecting a six percent increase in revenues
and flat expenses, offset in part by higher loan losses, primarily in the credit
card business.

     Credit  card  results  were  lower in the  first  quarter  of 1997 than the
year-ago  quarter,  reflecting  higher  credit card  charge-offs  and  increased
spending related to the launch of the Wal-Mart  co-branded  credit card.  Credit
card revenues grew 15 percent, benefiting from an increase of over $2 billion in
average managed receivables and the effect of higher fees and risk-based pricing
initiatives.

     Mortgage banking net income more than doubled in the first quarter of 1997.
Revenues increased 13 percent,  reflecting higher levels of servicing assets and
mortgage  loans and sharply lower expenses due to the  reengineering  of Chase's
mortgage originations business.



                                       7


     Net income for national  consumer  finance declined 21 percent in the first
quarter of 1997,  the result of several  one-time  items.  These factors  offset
solid  revenue  and  income  growth  in a number  of  Chase's  consumer  finance
businesses, particularly in auto finance, where managed receivables increased by
$5 billion from 1996 first quarter levels.

     Net income  for  Chase's  deposit  and  investment  business  increased  25
percent, the result of significant expense reductions from branch consolidations
and other initiatives.

     Net  income  for Texas  Commerce  Bank,  Middle  Market  and  International
Consumer were relatively stable with last year's levels.


CORPORATE FINANCIAL RESULTS

Asset Quality
- -------------

     Total managed  consumer net  charge-offs  in the first quarter of 1997 were
$422  million,  of which $209  million  were  related to assets  retained on the
balance sheet.  That compared with net  charge-offs of $315 million in the first
quarter of 1996, of which $210 million were related to retained assets.

     Managed  credit card net  charge-offs  were $358  million in the 1997 first
quarter or 5.66 percent of average managed receivables.  That compared with $270
million, and 4.66 percent of average managed receivables in the prior-year first
quarter.

     Total  commercial net charge-offs  were $10 million in the first quarter of
1997 compared with $44 million in the first quarter of 1996.

    Nonperforming assets, at March 31, 1997, were $1,126 million, compared with
$1,151 million on December 31, 1996, and $1,686 million on March 31, 1996.

     At March 31, 1997,  the aggregate  allowances for credit losses were $3,695
million and $3,683 million on the same date a year ago.

Other Financial Data
- --------------------

     Total revenue in the 1997 first quarter was $4,150 million,  which included
a $44 million gain on the sale of a non-strategic  foreign investment,  compared
with $4,035 million in the first 1996 quarter.

     Total  noninterest  expense of $2,417 million in the first quarter of 1997,
included  $50  million of costs due to the  accelerated  vesting of  stock-based
incentive awards.



                                       8


    During the 1997 first quarter, the Corporation purchased approximately 6.1 
million common shares as part of a stock repurchase plan announced in October of
1996.  The Corporation reissued approximately 3.6 million treasury shares under 
the Corporation's employee benefit plans, resulting in a net repurchase of 2.5 
million shares ($279 million) of its common stock.

     Note: On March 31, 1996, The Chase  Manhattan  Corporation  merged with and
     into  Chemical  Banking  Corporation.  Upon  consummation  of  the  merger,
     Chemical  changed its name to The Chase Manhattan  Corporation.  The merger
     was  accounted  for  as  a  pooling-of-interests   and,  accordingly,   the
     information  included in this release reports the combined results of Chase
     and  Chemical  as though  the  merger  had been in effect  for all  periods
     presented.
