Summary

Summary of the 10-K/A filed December 21, 1998. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This filing is Amendment No. 2 to PNC Financial Services Group's 10-K for 1997.

It does not contain PNC's consolidated financial statements for the corporation. The excerpt consists of the audited financial statements of the PNC Retirement Savings Plan (Plan 003) for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, filed under Rule 15d-21 of the Exchange Act. Ernst & Young issued an unqualified opinion on the Plan's statements, dated December 2, 1998.

Consolidated income, balance sheet, and cash flow data for PNC are incorporated by reference to the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is not included in this excerpt. The Plan's net assets available for benefits grew to $25.33 milliona at June 30, 1998, up from $14.79 million a year earlier, a 71% increase. Growth came from employee and employer contributions ($8.0 million combined), net investment appreciation ($3.0 million), and interest and dividends ($0.9 million), partly offset by $1.89 million in participant payments.

PNC Bank Corp. common stock held in Fund D was the largest asset at $10.35 millionb, about 49% of total investments of $20.9 million, which concentrates participant retirement savings in a single company's stock. For investors, the most relevant points are the Plan's concentration in PNC stock, the expansion of its investment menu from 4 to 11 funds effective July 1, 1998, and several participant-benefit changes.

These changes include a 12-month suspension of contributions after a hardship withdrawal and permission for participants to hold two loans at once. The Plan's own financial data does not directly measure PNC's overall profitability, capital, or asset quality.
