                               News Release

         Chase Reports Third Quarter Operating Earnings of $738 million


New York, October 20, 1998 -- The Chase Manhattan  Corporation  (NYSE:CMB) today
reported  third  quarter  operating  earnings  of $738  million,  compared  with
operating  earnings  of $1.081  billion  in the same  quarter  of 1997.  Diluted
operating  earnings per share were $0.82 in the third quarter of 1998,  compared
with $1.19 in the same 1997 period.

Reported  total net  income  was $837  million,  or $0.94 per share in the third
quarter.  Reported  total  net  income  in the  third  quarter  of 1997 was $982
million, or $1.08 per share.

Third Quarter 1998 Financial Highlights

- -    Total  operating  revenues  were down three percent from third quarter 1997
     levels,  as double-digit  growth in Chase's National  Consumer Services and
     Global  Services  franchises  offset a 20 percent revenue decline in Global
     Banking.

- -    Chase's Tier One capital  ratio rose to 8.3 percent at September  30, 1998,
     from 8.2 percent on June 30, 1998 and 7.8 percent on  September  30,  1997.
     During the quarter, the corporation repurchased a net amount of 7.4 million
     shares under its repurchase program.

- -    Total operating noninterest expenses rose four percent, with salary expense
     lower than in the third  quarter of 1997.  Operating  noninterest  expenses
     were approximately $100 million, or four percent,  lower than in the second
     quarter of 1998.

- -    Total  commercial  net  charge-offs   were  $200  million,   as  previously
     estimated, primarily reflecting conditions in Asia and Russia.

"Difficult global market conditions affected third quarter earnings  negatively.
At the same  time,  our  broadly  diversified  revenue  streams  and sound  risk
management  systems have  enabled  Chase to  differentiate  itself in an adverse
environment,"  said Walter V.  Shipley,  chairman and chief  executive  officer.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to maximize the long-term  growth  potential of
this  exceptional  franchise  by  maintaining  a  disciplined  approach to risk,
capital and expense management."

Financial Performance
Shareholder  Value  Added  (SVA) is Chase's  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.  Additional refinements have been made to
the methodology for the allocation of capital to businesses.  Prior periods have
been restated to reflect these changes.

Cash operating earnings in the Global Bank declined to $451 million in the third quarter of 1998; revenues fell 20 percent to $1.890 billion. For the nine months period, operating revenues rose three percent and cash return on common equity was 19 percent. A significant factor reducing Global Bank revenues and earnings in the third quarter of 1998 was the decrease in equity-related investment gains to $60 million, from $370 million in the preceding period and $249 million in the year-ago quarter. Trading revenues and associated net interest income totaled $259 million for the quarter, a 60 percent decline from last year's third quarter and a 50 percent decline from the previous quarter. However, securities gains realized during the quarter were $261 million, representing a portion of the increased value in Chase's investment portfolio, which is managed as part of the corporation's overall risk management process. Remaining unrealized gains in Chase's investment portfolio were approximately $1 billion, before taxes, at September 30, 1998, up from approximately $150 million, before taxes, three months ago. Investment banking fees were $322 million in the quarter, up 5 percent from the year-ago quarter, although down by $116 million from second quarter levels. Strong growth in fee income from loan syndications and merger and acquisition advisory was offset by substantially reduced underwriting fees in high yield and emerging markets.

Third quarter results for Global Services were highlighted by double-digit revenue growth in each of its three major business lines - Chase Treasury Solutions, Global Investor Services and Global Trust. Despite significant expenses required to prepare for Year 2000 and European Monetary Union, shareholder value added increased sharply from the prior year period. Cash return on common equity held steady at 27 percent for both the third quarter and the nine month periods.
- ------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- NATIONAL CONSUMER SERVICES Third Quarter Nine Months ------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Dollars, in millions 1998 O(U)3Q97 O(U)2Q98 1998 O(U) % ------ --------- ---------- ------ ------ Operating Revenues $2,055 $201 $52 $5,989 11% Cash Operating Earnings 302 (6) 4 894 7 Shareholder Value Added 78 (44) -- 226 (20) Cash Return on Common Equity 18% -- -- 18% -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash operating earnings were $302 million in the third quarter, essentially flat to year-ago levels and compared to the previous quarter. Cash operating earnings for the nine month period were up seven percent and cash return on common equity was 18 percent. Shareholder value added in the third quarter of 1998 declined by $44 million from the prior-year quarter, as a result of increased capital from recent acquisitions. Revenues from cardmember services grew 16 percent in the quarter to $979 million, with growth primarily driven by portfolio acquisitions. As anticipated, charge-offs rose in the quarter, reflecting the effect of newly-acquired portfolios. These factors, combined with increased marketing costs, resulted in a modest decline in cash operating earnings. Regional consumer banking revenues rose five percent, as a result of deposit growth in excess of $1.5 billion, and higher fee income from product and pricing initiatives. Cash operating earnings rose seven percent from prior-year levels. Home finance revenues grew by eight percent, benefiting from significantly higher volume of mortgage originations partially offset by the impact of higher levels of prepayments on the mortgage portfolio. Cash operating earnings grew three percent in the third quarter. Revenues from diversified consumer services rose 17 percent in the third quarter, with continued strong growth in Chase's auto finance, insurance and consumer investment businesses. Cash operating earnings rose 19 percent. Additional Financial Information - Operating results (revenues and earnings) exclude the impact of credit card securitizations, restructuring costs and special items. Special items in the third quarter of 1998 include $191 million in pre-tax interest income ($123 million after tax), resulting from tax refunds in prior years, and a $37 million pre-tax charge ($24 million after tax) for the accelerated vesting of stock-based awards. Special items in the same 1997 quarter include an $85 million pre-tax charge ($54 million after tax) for the accelerated vesting of stock-based awards and merger-related restructuring costs. - Credit exposure to hedge funds was $2.7 billion at September 30, 1998, including loans, resale agreements, mark-to-market foreign exchange and derivatives contracts and undrawn commitments to extend credit. Of this amount, approximately $1.7 billion is secured by cash and treasury securities, approximately $700 million by other securities, and approximately $300 million is unsecured. Chase has made a $300 million investment in Long-Term Capital Management. In addition, Chase has approximately $400 million invested in other hedge funds with no single investment larger than $25 million. These other investments are included in trading assets, are marked-to-market and have produced a year-to-date return of negative four percent. - Chase's exposure to emerging markets in Asia and Latin America has declined substantially in the past nine months, as detailed in the attached tables. In addition, at September 30, 1998, Chase had approximately $200 million of lending and trading-related exposure to Russia, a decline of over $250 million from August 31, 1998. Chase also had approximately $450 million in resale agreements secured by non-ruble denominated Russian debt, at September 30, 1998. - The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 1998 was $455 million, compared with $190 million in the year-ago quarter and $338 million in the second quarter of 1998. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1998 were $1.533 billion compared with $1.036 billion at September 30, 1997 and $1.365 billion at June 30, 1998. - Total assets at September 30, 1998 were $356 billion, down approximately $10 billion from the second quarter of 1998 and from year-ago levels. As a result, Chase was able to repurchase net $351 million of its stock during the third quarter and still increase its Tier One capital ratio to 8.3 percent at the end of the quarter. All per share results reflect a two-for-one stock split that became effective June 15, 1998. Chase's news releases and quarterly financial results are available on the Internet at www.Chase.com.
