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

The Chase  Manhattan  Corporation  ("Chase")  reported on April 21, 1998 diluted
operating earnings per share of $2.35 in the first quarter of 1998 compared with
$2.02 in the 1997 first quarter.  Operating earnings increased to $1.053 billion
from $949 million in the first quarter of 1997.

Net income was $725 million  compared to $927 million in the 1997 first quarter,
reflecting a previously-announced,  one time charge of $320 million after tax in
connection with initiatives  to  streamline  support  functions  and  realign
certain  business functions.  It is anticipated that annual savings from these
actions will amount to approximately $460 million,  which will be reinvested in
Chase's high-growth businesses.

          Chase's 1998 First Quarter Operating EPS Rises by 16 Percent
                          ----------------------------


New York,  April 21, 1998 -- The Chase Manhattan  Corporation  (NYSE:CMB)  today
reported diluted  operating  earnings per share of $2.35 in the first quarter of
1998 compared with $2.02 in the 1997 first quarter. Operating earnings increased
to $1.053 billion from $949 million in the first quarter of 1997.  Total managed
revenues rose to $4.909 billion in the 1998 first quarter from $4.320 billion.

Net income was $725 million  compared to $927 million in the 1997 first quarter,
reflecting a  previously-announced,  one time charge of $320  million  after tax
taken in connection with initiatives to streamline support functions and realign
certain  business  functions.  It is anticipated  that annual savings from these
actions will amount to approximately  $460 million,  which will be reinvested in
Chase's high-growth businesses.

First Quarter 1998 Financial Highlights

 - Operating  earnings  per share  rose 16  percent.
 - Total  managed  revenues increased 14 percent to $4.9 billion.
 - Return on common stockholders' equity rose to 20.3 percent from 19.6 percent.

"It was another strong  quarter for Chase,  led by growing  trading,  investment
banking,   equity-related  and  global  services  revenues,  as  well  as  solid
performance  across the national  consumer  platform,"  said Walter V.  Shipley,
chairman and chief executive officer. "These results demonstrate the fundamental
strength of the Chase franchise which, combined with management's  commitment to
financial discipline, is creating exceptional long-term value for shareholders."

Shareholder Value Added

As of January 1, 1998,  Chase has adopted  Shareholder  Value Added (SVA) as its
primary measure of business unit performance.  SVA represents operating earnings
excluding  the  amortization  of goodwill  and certain  intangibles  (i.e.  cash
operating  earnings)  less  an  explicit  charge  for  allocated  capital.   The
methodology  for the allocation of capital to businesses  has also changed.  The
new method has resulted in an attribution of capital to the lines of business in
excess  of  Chase's  actual  amount  of  common  equity,  as  compared  with  an
under-attribution of capital using the previous method. Business unit results in
this  press  release  and in the tables  that  follow it have been  restated  to
reflect the new capital allocation methodology.

Global Banking revenues rose 16 percent in the first quarter, with cash operating earnings rising 18 percent. Shareholder value added increased by 42 percent to $317 million. Total trading revenues were $713 million, a quarterly record, rebounding from fourth quarter levels and 23 percent higher than the prior-year period. Improved conditions in capital markets worldwide enabled Chase to take advantage of an attractive foreign exchange environment, as well as fixed income opportunities, particularly within non-Asian emerging markets. Investment banking activity produced $361 million in corporate finance and loan syndication fees, more than double the fees earned in the prior-year period. Results reflect significant activity in loan syndications, as well as the growing contribution of newer businesses such as high yield and investment grade underwriting and mergers and acquisitions. During the first quarter, Chase moved into the top ten in worldwide mergers and acquisitions advisory. Corporate lending revenues were lower in the quarter. 3 Equity-related investment revenues rose to a record $287 million, 75 percent higher than in the 1997 first quarter, marking a continuation of favorable private and public equity markets and Chase Capital Partner's accelerated pace of investment activities over the last several years. Revenues from global asset management and private banking rose nine percent, with fees from personal trust rising 11 percent from the prior-year level. Chase Bank of Texas revenues increased by 14 percent in the 1998 first quarter, with fee-based activities continuing to grow. Middle market banking revenues declined slightly.

Revenues for Global Services within Chase Technology Solutions rose 13 percent in the first quarter. Cash operating earnings increased by 23 percent. Shareholder value added rose by 52 percent. Revenue growth continued across the three business lines -- Chase Treasury Solutions, global investor services and global trust -- reflecting increased assets under trust and custody, as well as higher balance levels. Cash operating earnings for Global Services benefited from both higher revenues and ongoing productivity initiatives.

National Consumer Services revenues grew by nine percent in the 1998 first quarter. Cash operating earnings rose to $287 million. Shareholder value added declined to $54 million from $81 million in the first quarter of 1997, reflecting increased capital allocation within National Consumer Services as a result of recent acquisitions. 4 Credit card revenues rose 17 percent to $931 million in the first quarter, driven by 20 percent revenue growth in the domestic portfolio, which benefited from acquisitions and increased co-branded activities. These results were partially offset by the effect of the economic environment in Asia on Chase's international consumer businesses. Cash operating earnings increased 39 percent from prior-year levels. Regional consumer banking revenues rose two percent in the quarter. Cash operating earnings fell nine percent reflecting higher expenses related to systems integration and enhancements, particularly within Chase Bank of Texas' retail businesses. Home finance revenues in the quarter increased slightly from 1997 levels, excluding the impact of discontinued operations, as continued growth in mortgage originations was offset by the impact of greater refinancing activity. Cash operating earnings, on the same basis, rose by 14 percent. Revenues from diversified consumer services rose 11 percent in the first quarter. Cash operating earnings declined seven percent, reflecting higher expenses and provisioning associated with increased business volume. Additional Financial Information The provision for credit losses was $344 million, compared with $220 million in the first quarter of 1997. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1998 were $1.335 billion, compared with $1.018 billion on December 31, 1997 and $ 1.126 billion on March 31, 1997. Total nonperforming assets in Asia, including derivatives, increased by $161 million from year-end levels to $243 million at March 31, 1998. Asian commercial net charge-offs for the quarter were $92 million. Total exposure to Indonesia, Korea and Thailand was reduced by 26 percent to $7.5 billion at March 31, 1998 from $10.1 billion at December 31, 1997. Total managed consumer net charge-offs were $536 million in the 1998 first quarter, with $256 million related to assets retained on the balance sheet, compared with $420 million in the prior-year quarter, with $212 million related to assets retained on the balance sheet. First quarter 1998 figures reflect the effects of recent credit card portfolio acquisitions. 5 Managed domestic credit card net charge-offs were 5.77 percent of average managed receivables, compared with 5.66 percent in the same 1997 period. Total commercial net charge-offs were $88 million, compared with net charge offs of $8 million in the first quarter of 1997. Total noninterest operating expenses were $2.610 billion in the 1998 first quarter, a ten percent increase from the prior-year quarter reflecting increased incentives related to higher Global Banking revenues.
