possess greater financial resources.  With respect to the data processing
services, the Bank competes with other third party service providers such as
Deluxe Data Services, EDS and Electronic Payment Systems.

The earnings of the Company are affected by general economic conditions as well
as by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board.  Such policies, which
include regulating the national supply of bank reserves and bank credit, can
have a major effect upon the source and cost of funds and the rates of return
earned on loans and investments.  The Federal Reserve influences the size and
distribution of bank reserves through its open market operations and changes in
cash reserve requirements against member bank deposits.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to the restrictions of the
Bank Holding Company act of 1956, as amended.  This Act provides that the
acquisition of control of a bank is subject to the prior approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Company is required to obtain
the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it can acquire control
of more than 5% of the voting shares of another bank.  The Act does not permit
the Federal Reserve Board to approve an acquisition by the Company, or any of
its subsidiaries, of any bank located in a state other than Ohio, unless the
acquisition is specifically authorized by the law of the state in which such
bank is located.

The Bank, as a state member bank, is subject to regulation by the Superintendent
of Banks of the State of Ohio, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company and any other
subsidiaries which it now owns or may hereafter acquire are considered
affiliates of the Bank as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

The Company's other affiliate state banks are primarily subject to the laws of
the state in which each is located, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and/or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The affiliate
banks which are organized under the laws of the United States are primarily
subject to regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.

The Company and its banking affiliates are subject to certain restrictions on
loans by the Bank, on investments by the Bank in their stock and on its taking
such stock and securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.  The Company
and affiliates of the Bank are also subject to certain restrictions with respect
to engaging in the underwriting and public sale and distribution of securities. 
In addition, any such affiliates of the Bank will be subject to examination at
the discretion of supervisory authorities.

The Company as a saving and loan holding company and its savings and loan
subsidiary is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of Thrift
Supervision.

The Bank Holding Company Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by
the Company and its subsidiaries to ownership of banks and those activities
which the Federal Reserve Board has deemed or may in the future find to be so
closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

The securities portfolio as of December 31 for each of the last five years, and
the maturity distribution and weighted average yield of securities as of
December 31, 1993, are incorporated herein by reference to the securities tables
on page 30 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders attached to this
filing as Exhibit 13.
The weighted average yields for the securities portfolio are yields to maturity
weighted by the par values of the securities.  The weighted average yields on
securities exempt from income taxes are computed on a taxable equivalent basis. 
The taxable equivalent yields are net after-tax yields to maturity divided by
the complement of the full corporate tax rate (35%).

In order to express yields on a taxable equivalent basis, yields on obligations

          Under 1 year                       2.43%
          1 - 5 years                        2.73%
          6 - 10 years                       2.65%
          Over 10 years                      3.09%
          Total securities                   2.64%

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities," effective December 31,
1993.  This Statement requires securities to be classified as held to maturity,
available for sale or trading.  Only those securities classified as held to
maturity are reported at amortized cost, with those available for sale and
trading reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in
stockholders' equity or income, respectively.  Refer to pages 19 and 20 in the
Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders for a summary of the investment
portfolio classifications at December 31, 1993.

The investment portfolio has increased in size during the past year due in part
to the securitization and transfer to securities of $291,586,000 in residential
mortgage loans.  The investment portfolio is comprised largely of fixed and
variable rate mortgage-backed securities.  These AAA rated securities are backed
by first mortgages on single-family homes predominately underwritten to the
standards of and guaranteed by the government sponsored agencies of GNMA, FNMA
and FHLMC.  They differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they
have uncertain maturity dates, and are priced based on estimated prepayment
rates on the underlying mortgages.

The estimated average life of the portfolio is three years and six months, which
is very short by industry standards and minimizes our exposure to the risk of
rising interest rates.  The Company holds no securities which would be
classified as high risk under the new FFIEC guidelines on mortgage-backed
securities.

The Company had sales of securities available for sale of approximately $230
million during 1993.  This activity resulted in $6.5 million in realized
securities gains, less than 2.2% of income before income taxes, and represented
12.2% of total security gains, realized and unrealized, as of December 31, 1993.

Risk Elements
- -------------
Interest on loans is normally accrued at the rate agreed upon at the time each loan was
negotiated.  It is the Company's policy to discontinue accrual of interest on commercial,
construction and mortgage loans when there is a clear indication that the borrower's cash
flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due.  Loans, other than consumer
loans, are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due ninety days
or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  The following
table presents data concerning loans and leases at risk at December 31, 1993 and previous
years ($000's):

<FN>
For calendar year 1993, interest income of $368,000 was recorded on nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans and leases.  Additional interest income of $1,169,000 would have been
recorded if the nonaccrual and renegotiated loans and leases had been current in accordance
with their original terms.

Reserve for Credit Losses
- -------------------------

The reserve for credit losses is established through charges to operations by
a provision for credit losses.  Loans and leases which are determined to be
uncollectible are charged against the reserve and any subsequent recoveries are
credited to the reserve.  The amount charged to operations is based on several
factors.  These include the following:

1.  Analytical reviews of the credit loss experience in relationship to
    outstanding loans and leases to determine an adequate reserve for credit
    losses required for loans and leases at risk.
2.  A continuing review of problem or at risk loans and leases and the overall
    portfolio quality.
3.  Regular examinations and appraisals of the loan and lease portfolio
    conducted by the Bank's examination staff and the banking supervisory
    authorities.
4.  Management's judgement with respect to the current and expected economic
    conditions and their impact on the existing loan and lease portfolio.

The amount provided for credit losses exceeded actual net charge-offs by
$18,224,000 in 1993, $20,629,000 in 1992 and $5,001,000 in 1991.

Management reviews the reserve on a quarterly basis to determine whether
additional provisions should be made after considering the factors noted above. 
Based on these procedures, management is of the opinion that the reserve at
December 31, 1993 of $135,097,000 is adequate.

FIFTH THIRD BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
         The following is a summary of the significant policies:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Fifth
Third Bancorp (Bancorp) and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period data has
been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
SECURITIES
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
''Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities'' requires
securities to be classified as held to maturity, available for sale or trading.
Only those securities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized
cost, with those available for sale and trading reported at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders' equity or income,
respectively. The Bancorp adopted this Statement effective December 31, 1993.
Prior to 1993, all securities were classified in a single portfolio accounted
for at amortized cost. Securities gains or losses are shown separately as other
operating income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
LOANS
         Residential mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of
aggregate cost or market value and were $174,314,000 and $58,049,000 at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
         SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan'' 
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of 
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or 
the fair value of the underlying collateral. SFAS No. 114 is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994 and, although not yet 
quantified, the effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements is not 
expected to be material.
RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
         The reserve is maintained at a level management considers to be
adequate to absorb potential loan and lease losses.
         Credit losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the reserve.
Provisions for credit losses are charged to operating expenses and are based on
management's review of the historical credit loss experience and such other
factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition under existing
economic conditions in estimating potential credit losses.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
         Bank premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on the
straight-line method over the lives of the related leases or useful lives of
the related assets, whichever is shorter. Maintenance, repairs and minor
improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
         Goodwill and other intangible assets are amortized on
a straight-line basis generally over a period of 15 years.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
         Interest income on loans is based on the principal balance
outstanding, with the exception of interest on discount basis loans which is
computed using a method which approximates the interest method. The accrual of
interest for commercial, construction and mortgage loans is discontinued when
there is a clear indication that the borrower's cash flow may not be sufficient
to meet payments as they become due. Such loans are also placed on nonaccrual
status when principal or interest is past due ninety days or more, unless the
loan is well secured and in the process of collection.
         Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan 
origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized over the estimated 
life of the related loans or commitments as a yield adjustment.
         Income on direct financing leases is recognized on a basis to achieve a
constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment.  Income on
leveraged leases is recognized on a basis to achieve a constant rate of return
on the outstanding investment in the lease, net of the related deferred tax
liability, in the years in which the net investment is positive.
         Trust income is recognized on the accrual basis.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
         Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for the
period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. The assumed conversion of convertible subordinated notes and
the exercise of stock options would not have a materially dilutive effect.
OTHER
         Securities and other property held by the Trust Division of the
banking subsidiaries in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets since such items are not assets of the banks.

NOTE 12--RETIREMENT PLAN AND BENEFIT PLANS
         The Bancorp maintains a noncontributory retirement plan covering
substantially all regular full-time employees and providing defined benefits
based on years of credited service and compensation level, partially offset by
social security benefits. Contributions to the plan are based on the entry age
actuarial cost method and are limited to amounts currently deductible for
income tax purposes.
         In determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
obligation, the weighted average discount rate was 7.25% in 1993 and 7.75% in
1992, and the rate of increase in future compensation levels was 5.5% in both
years. The expected long-term rate of return on retirement plan assets was 9.0%
in 1993 and in 1992.

         The Bancorp sponsors an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Income Plan
that provides certain officers with defined pension benefits in excess of the
limits imposed on the qualified plan by federal tax law. At December 31, 1993
and 1992, the projected benefit obligations under this nonqualified plan were
$5,479,000 and $1,596,000, respectively. Pension costs for the plan were
$433,000 in 1993, $335,000 in 1992 and $287,000 in 1991.
         The Bancorp has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all
regular full-time employees. The contribution to the plan is an amount
determined annually by the Board of Directors and was $15,400,000 for 1993,
$14,560,000 for 1992 and $11,550,000 for 1991.
NOTE 13--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
         The Bancorp is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. These financial instruments primarily
include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and foreign exchange
forward contracts and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in
excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Bancorp has in particular classes of financial instruments. Creditworthiness
for all instruments is evaluated on a case-by-case basis in

accordance with Bancorp credit policies. Collateral, if deemed necessary, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty and may include
business assets of commercial borrowers as well as personal property and real
estate of individual borrowers or guarantors.

</TABLE>
         Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend. The Bancorp's
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by
the contractual amount. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
         Letters of credit, which totalled $17,712,000 at December 31, 1993, are
issued to commercial customers for a duration of one year or less to facilitate
trade payments in domestic and foreign transactions. Standby letters of credit
are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer
to a third party. At December 31, 1993, approximately $213,981,000 of standby
letters of credit will expire within one year, $142,658,000 expire between one
to five years and $42,351,000 expire thereafter. The Bancorp's exposure to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for letters of
credit is represented by the contractual amount.
         Forward contracts are contracts for future delivery of foreign
currency or residential mortgage loans at a specified price or yield. Risks
arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from any resultant exposure to movement in foreign exchange rates
and interest rates, rather than from loss of the notional principal or contract
amount. The Bancorp reduces its market risk for foreign exchange forward
contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.
         There are claims pending against the Bancorp and its subsidiaries.
Based on a review of such litigation with legal counsel, management believes
that any resulting liability would not have a material effect upon the
Bancorp's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         The Consolidated Financial Statements have not been restated to
include the acquisition of The TriState Bancorp, which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests, because of immateriality.
         In January, 1994, the Bancorp entered into a merger agreement with The
Cumberland Federal Bancorporation, Inc., a savings and loan holding company
with $1.1 billion in assets headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. This
transaction is expected to be completed in mid-1994, will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests and is subject to approval by shareholders and appropriate
regulatory agencies.
NOTE 15--REGULATORY MATTERS
         The principal source of income and funds for the Bancorp (parent
company) are dividends from the banking subsidiaries. During the year 1994, the
amount of dividends that the banking subsidiaries can pay to the Bancorp
without prior approval of bank regulatory agencies is limited to their 1994
eligible net profits, as defined, and $154,963,000, the adjusted retained 1993
and 1992 net income of the banking subsidiaries.  
         The banks must maintain noninterest-bearing cash balances on reserve 
with the Federal Reserve Bank. In 1993 and 1992, the banks were required to 
maintain average reserve balances of $167,682,000 and $137,164,000, 
respectively.
NOTE 16--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
         At December 31, 1993 and 1992, certain directors, executive officers,
principal holders of Bancorp common stock and any associates of such persons
were indebted to the banking subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of
$171,493,000 and $112,608,000, respectively. During 1993, new loans aggregating
$111,172,000 were made to such parties and loans aggregating $52,287,000 were
repaid. Such indebtedness was incurred in the ordinary course of business on
substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time of comparable
transactions with unrelated parties.

         Fair values for financial instruments were based on various
assumptions and estimates as of a specific point in time, are essentially
liquidation values and may vary significantly from amounts that will be
realized in actual transactions. In addition, certain financial instruments and
all non-financial instruments were excluded from the fair value disclosure
requirements. Therefore, the fair values presented above should not be
construed as the underlying value of the Bancorp.
         The following methods and assumptions were used in determining the fair
value of selected financial instruments:
         Short-term financial assets and liabilities-for financial instruments
with short or no stated maturity, prevailing market rates and limited credit
risk, carrying amounts approximate fair value. Those financial instruments
include cash and due from banks, other short-term investments, certain deposits
(demand, interest checking, savings and money market), Federal funds borrowed
and other short-term borrowings.
         Securities, available for sale and held to maturity-fair values were
based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and prices obtained from
independent pricing services.
         Loans-fair values of loans were estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
         Deposits-fair values for other time, certificates of deposit-$100,000
and over and foreign office were estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities.
         Long-term debt and convertible subordinated notes-fair value of
convertible subordinated notes was based on quoted market prices. Fair value of
long-term debt was based on quoted market prices, when available, and a
discounted cash flow calculation using prevailing market rates for borrowings
of similar terms.
         Off-balance-sheet financial instruments-fair values of commitments to
extend credit and letters of credit were based on fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements with similar remaining maturities. Fair values of
forward contracts were estimated using quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
         To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Fifth Third Bancorp:
         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fifth
Third Bancorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Companies at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
         As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Bancorp changed its method of accounting for debt and equity securities
effective December 31, 1993.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In the following pages, Management discusses its analysis of the
Bancorp's financial condition and results of operations in 1993 compared to
prior years. The data presented in this discussion should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 15 to
25 of this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
         Net income advanced in 1993 for the twentieth consecutive year. The
Bancorp's net income to average assets, referred to as return on assets, has
gradually increased for the last five years as has return on average
stockholders' equity. The table below summarizes these measures:

</TABLE>

NET INTEREST INCOME
         The largest source of the Bancorp's income is net interest income. Net
interest income is the spread between income on interest-earning assets, such
as loans and securities, and the interest expense on liabilities used to fund
those assets, such as deposits and funds borrowed.  Net interest income is
affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the
amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. Changes in net interest income are frequently measured by two
statistics--net interest margin and net interest rate spread. Net interest
margin is expressed as net interest income divided by average earning assets.
Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on
earning assets and the average rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.
Both of these measures are reported on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest
margin is greater than net interest rate spread due to the interest income
earned on assets funded by non-interest-bearing liabilities, primarily demand
deposits and stockholders' equity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Table 1, Consolidated Average Balance Sheets and Analysis of Net
Interest Income, computes the net interest income, net interest margin and net
interest rate spread for the five years 1989 through 1993 by comparing interest
revenue and interest-earning assets outstanding with interest cost and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. All three of these measures are
reported on a taxable equivalent basis. Nonaccrual loans have been included in
the loan balances.
         The Bancorp's net interest income grew $45.4 million to $456.8 million
in 1993, an increase of 11.0% over the $411.3 million earned during 1992. Net
interest income grew by $60.0 million or 17.1% in 1992 over 1991. For 1993, the
increase was attributable to an increase in average interest-earning assets,
changes in earning asset mix and lower funding costs due to the overall lower
interest rate environment.
         During 1993, average interest-earning assets grew $1.44 billion to
$10.14 billion, up 16.5% over 1992. Most of this growth occurred in the retail
loan and lease portfolios. Average loans and leases were up $1.57 billion or
23.7% over 1992 and represented 80.8% of total average interest-earning assets
as compared to 76.0% for 1992. The shift from shorter-term investments to
higher yielding loans and leases positively impacted net interest income.
Average interest-earning asset growth in 1992 consisted primarily of a $956.8
million or 16.9% increase in average loans and leases and a $225.2 million or
14.5% increase in average taxable securities.
         Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $1.16 billion to $8.35
billion in 1993, up 16.1% over 1992, including higher interest-bearing deposit
growth, up $848.8 million or 14.2% over 1992. Overall interest expense declined
despite higher balances due to continued repricing downward of deposit rates.
         The net interest margin declined to 4.51% in 1993, down 22 basis
points (bp) (a basis point is equivalent to .01%) from 4.73% in 1992. This
decline resulted from the reduced impact of free funding sources and from
long-term interest rates falling faster than short-term interest rates.
Although free funding (average non-interest-bearing sources) increased during
1993, lower average yields reduced their favorable impact on net interest
margin, providing 61 bp in 1993 versus 72 bp in 1992.
         The net interest margin increased 15 bp during 1992 over 1991, due in
large part to a 183 bp decline in funding costs. The decline in funding costs
was attributable to dramatic decreases in overall deposit rates as well as the
issuance of long-term financing.

</TABLE>
         Table 2, the Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes, separates the
Bancorp's change in net interest income into its three components: (1) volume
of average assets and liabilities outstanding; (2) average yields on
interest-earning assets and average rates for interest-bearing liabilities; and
(3) combined volume and yield/rate effects.
         Table 2 shows the income impact of balance sheet changes and changes in
interest rate levels which occurred during 1993 and 1992. The increase in net
interest income during 1993 was due primarily to the increase in average
interest-earning assets in excess of the increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities offset by the lower overall interest rates. The increase in net
interest income during 1992 was due almost entirely to the increase in average
interest-earning assets in excess of the increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities, as the changes in interest rates were offset by changes in the
balance sheet mix.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
         The table below shows the components of other operating income for the
five years ending December 31, 1993. Total other operating income excluding
securities gains and losses has increased over 10% each year during this
five-year period, up 10.8% in 1993 over 1992 and up 18.4% in 1992 over 1991.
         Trust income totalled $50,603,000 in 1993, an increase of 7.6% over
1992's $47,033,000. During 1992, trust income increased 16.8% over 1991.  Both
increases can be attributed to the increase in the market value of total assets
under care (both managed or in custody), with market value increases of 6.7% in
1993 and 11.3% in 1992, fueled by our customers' increased interest in
alternative investment options such as mutual funds.
         Service charges on deposits totalled $55,468,000 in 1993 and
$49,856,000 in 1992, up 11.3% and 19.6% over 1992 and 1991, respectively. 
Contributing to these increases were the escalating numbers of customer
accounts, due in part to deposit purchases from Savings of America, First
National Bank of Dayton and World Savings and Loan Association in 1993 and Chase
Bank of Ohio in 1992 and the acquisitions of First Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Lima and Pinnacle Bancorp, Inc. in 1992. The acquisition of The
TriState Bancorp in December, 1993 occurred too late in the year to have an
impact.
         Data processing income in 1993 totalled $53,582,000, an increase of
16.9% over 1992's $45,842,000. The past two years' increases of over 12% have
been due to several factors, including higher automated teller machine
transaction

processsing with the addition of 40 new member institutions in 1993 and growth
in credit card and retail merchant activity.
         Other service charges and fees in 1993 were $60,433,000, an increase
of 8.2% over 1992. Mortgage banking fee income, which includes servicing fee
income, gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and other mortgage loan
fees, increased $9,755,000 or 99.0% over 1992. At December 31, 1993, the
Bancorp was servicing $3.5 billion in residential mortgage loans. Consumer loan
fees were also up, $1,620,000 or 18.7% over 1992, consistent with the increase
in average consumer loan balances.
         Other service charges and fees in 1992 totalled $55,851,000, an
increase of $10,630,000 or 23.5% over 1991. Included in this increase is
mortgage banking fee income, increasing $3,920,000 or 66.0%. Another component
of the increase was a $1,104,000 gain on the sale of Fifth Third Travel, Inc.
OPERATING EXPENSES
         The Bancorp's profitability levels over the last several years have
been achieved in large part due to successful expense control.  Contributing
factors include efficient staffing, a comprehensive budgeting process and
centralization of various internal functions such as data processing and loan
operations.
         One measure of this success is the overhead ratio (operating expenses
divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income and other
operating income). This ratio, at or under 50%, has remained well below peer
group ratios over the past five years.
         Total operating expenses for 1993 were up 11.8% over 1992, and 1992
was up 15.8% over 1991. Banking Center growth over the last two years, with the
addition of 40 locations in 1993 and 23 locations in 1992 through acquisitions
and other expansion, has impacted all categories of expenses. The table below
shows the dollar amounts and the components of other operating expenses for the
last five years.
         Salaries, wages and employee benefits, which comprised 47.2% and 47.5%
of total operating expenses in 1993 and 1992, respectively, increased 11.0% in
1993 and 13.3% in 1992 over the previous year. Climbing costs of employee
benefits including medical insurance, payroll taxes and profit sharing were
augmented by an increase of 359 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees during
1993 and 420 during 1992. The Bancorp's productivity ratios (average earning
assets and net income per FTE employee), which measure the degree of efficiency
of our employees, have shown continued improvement since 1988. Average earning
assets per employee has increased 61% since 1988, while net income per employee
has increased 66%.
         Equipment and net occupancy expenses increased 9.4% in 1993 and 10.3%
in 1992. Increased rental property costs, utilities and real estate taxes, due
in part to the expanded number of locations, and increased expenses such as
depreciation associated with the purchase of the remaining interest in Fifth
Third Center in 1993, contributed to the higher expenditures.
         Other operating expenses of $133,368,000 in 1993 were up 13.5% over
1992. Contributing factors to this increase were FDIC insurance, up $1,091,000
or 6.8% and marketing and communications expenses, up $2,136,000 or 11.0%. The
effect on deferred taxes of the increase in statutory tax rates during 1993 was
$1,039,000. Other real estate owned expenses were $802,000 in 1993, $1,707,000
in 1992 and $629,000 in 1991.
         Other operating expenses of $117,541,000 in 1992 increased 20.6% over
1991. FDIC insurance was up $2,726,000 or 20.3% over 1991. Other contributors
to the increase were increased communication charges related to data processing
income, increased postage expenses and the generally expanded volume of Bancorp
activities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION
SECURITIES
         The investment portfolio is comprised largely of fixed and floating
rate mortgage related securities, predominantly underwritten to the standards
of and guaranteed by the government sponsored agencies of FHLMC and FNMA. These
securities differ primarily from traditional debt securities in that they have
uncertain maturity dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on
the underlying mortgages. We have estimated the average life of the portfolio
at 3.5 years based on current prepayment expectations.
         During 1993 and 1992, the Bancorp securitized $291,586,000 and
$120,813,000 fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgages, respectively. 
These securitizations are a means to improve liquidity ratios, reduce the
reserve for credit loss requirement and increase risk-based capital ratios.
This activity is expected to continue in 1994.

</TABLE>
         The most significant increase in the loan and lease portfolio during
1993 was in consumer leases and installment loans. Installment loans increased
$342,000,000 or 23.6% and consumer leases increased $326,000,000 or 82.5%.
Although leasing has become a popular alternative means of automobile
financing, the current low-interest rate environment has enabled installment
lending to remain strong. Consumer mortgages continued to grow, up $223,000,000
or 11.5% in 1993; however, excluding the securitization and transfer to
securities of $291,586,000 and $120,813,000 of mortgages in 1993 and 1992,
respectively, consumer mortgages actually rose 19.2% over 1992. This growth was
aided by the acquisition of The Tristate Bancorp, which contributed
approximately $189,000,000 in outstandings.
         Commercial loans and leases were up 11.8% in 1993. Commercial leasing
was a notable contributor, up $66,000,000 or 28.0% over 1992.  Commercial
mortgages also showed solid growth, up 27.8% over 1992, and consisted primarily
of credits located within our primary market areas of Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana. Commercial mortgages consist principally of owner-occupied commercial
mortgages, loans on properties occupied by the principal borrower.
         In 1992, robust gains in consumer mortgages and consumer leases led
the portfolio with growth of 80.7% and 100.5% over 1991, respectively. 
Consumer mortgage growth was aided by acquisitions which contributed
approximately $200,000,000 in outstandings.

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
         The Bancorp provides as an expense an amount which reflects expected
credit losses. This provision is based on the growth of the loan and lease
portfolio and on recent loss experience and is called the provision for credit
losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  Actual losses on loans and
leases are charged against the reserve built up on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets through the provision for credit losses. The amount of loans and leases
actually removed as assets from the Consolidated Balance Sheets is referred to
as charge-offs and, after netting out recoveries on previously charged-off
assets, becomes net charge-offs.
         Net charge-offs have declined over the last three years, with 1993's
$26,263,000 down 41.2% over 1992's $44,686,000, which had marked an 11.9%
decrease over 1991. The provision for credit losses of $44,487,000 in 1993 was
down from the $65,315,000 in 1992. 
         The reserve for credit losses as a percent of loans and leases
outstanding was 1.53% and 1.54% for December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 
The table below presents credit loss data for the most recent five year period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UNDER-PERFORMING ASSETS
         Under-performing assets consist of (1) nonaccrual loans and leases on
which the ultimate collectibility of the full amount of interest is uncertain,
(2) loans and leases which have been renegotiated to provide for a reduction or
deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial
position of the borrower, (3) loans and leases past due ninety days or more as
to principal or interest and (4) other real estate owned. A summary of
under-performing assets at December 31 follows:

         Of the total under-performing assets at December 31, 1993, $23,240,000
is to borrowers or projects in the Cincinnati-Dayton market area, $1,495,000 in
the Toledo market area, $3,585,000 in Columbus, $2,485,000 distributed in the
market areas of our smaller affiliate banks and $3,026,000 outside of the
Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana area.
         Of the total nonperforming assets at December 31, 1993, $14,825,000 or
61.4% was related to commercial real estate. Nonaccrual commercial real estate
loans and leases were $7,394,000, a decrease of 58.8% from 1992's $17,937,000.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were no renegotiated commercial real
estate loans and leases. Commercial other real estate owned decreased from
$22,404,000 in 1992 to $7,431,000 in 1993, a decline of 66.8%.
DEPOSITS
         Primarily core deposits are used to fund interest-earning assets. The
deregulation of deposits has caused a change in the deposit mix of financial
institutions as funds have flowed from non-interest-bearing deposits and
passbook-type savings deposits into higher market rate deposits which earn
interest at money market rates. The accompanying tables show the relative
composition of the Bancorp's average deposits and the change in average deposit
sources during the last five years. Other time deposits is comprised primarily
of consumer certificates of deposit.
         The Company completed $568,574,000 in deposit acquisitions during the
last two years ($290,857,000 in 1993 and $277,717,000 in 1992). Core deposit
growth has been slower than previous years due to the low absolute rate levels.
The Bancorp would expect these growth rates to increase as interest rates
increase.

FEDERAL FUNDS BORROWED AND OTHER
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
         These primarily represent the borrowing of short-term excess funds
from correspondent banks, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and
commercial paper issuance. The Bancorp resells the funds or may retain a
portion to fund short-term, rate-sensitive interest-earning asset growth. The
increase in borrowed funds is in part a result of the Bancorp's strategy to
shift large certificate of deposit customers into non-FDIC assessed products.
As the following table of average funds borrowed and average Federal funds
loaned indicates, the Bancorp was a net borrower of funds of $1,268,314,000 in
1993, up from $1,099,709,000 in 1992:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES
         The Bancorp maintains a relatively high level of capital as a margin
of safety for its depositors and stockholders. At December 31, 1993,
stockholders' equity was $1,197,646,000 compared to $1,005,165,000 at December
31, 1992, an increase of $192,481,000 or 19.1%. This increase in capital
resulted primarily from the retention of earnings.
         During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a minimum leverage
ratio of 3.0% for bank holding companies. The Bancorp's leverage  ratio
(defined as stockholders' equity less unrealized gains on securities available
for sale, goodwill and certain other intangibles divided by average quarterly
assets) was 9.9% at December 31, 1993 and 9.5% at December 31, 1992, well above
the Federal Reserve Board's ''well capitalized'' level of 5%.
         The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines
which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items. The
guidelines also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital
ratios) which increased over a transition period ending in 1992. Under the
final 1992 rules, all banks are required to have core capital (Tier 1) of at
least 4.0% of risk-weighted assets and total capital of 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of stockholders' equity less
unrealized gains on securities available for sale, goodwill and certain other
intangibles, while total capital consists of core capital, certain debt
instruments and a portion of the reserve for credit losses. The guidelines also
define well capitalized levels of Tier 1 and total capital as 6% and 10%,
respectively. The Bancorp had Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.4% and 11.2% and
total capital ratios of 13.8% and 14.1% for December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, computed using the final 1992 rules. The Bancorp and its
affiliate banks had Tier 1 and total capital ratios above the well capitalized
levels at December 31, 1993.
         The Federal Reserve Board has proposed regulations which would revise
the current risk-based capital guidelines to include a measurement of interest
rate risk. Based on an analysis of the Bancorp's current interest rate
sensitivity, management feels there would be no adverse affects caused by the
adoption of these new capital guidelines.
         The following table shows several capital and liquidity ratios for the
last three years:

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
         The objective of the Bancorp's Asset/Liability Management function is
to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within the Bancorp's
policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through flexible management
of the Bancorp's balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due
to changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels and customer
preferences.
         The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet
changes in loan demand or any potential unexpected deposit withdrawals. This
goal is accomplished primarily by maintaining sufficient liquid assets along
with consistent core deposit growth to fund earning assets and the availability
of unused capacity to purchase funds in the national money markets.
         At year end 1993, the Bancorp had approximately $1.2 billion in
securities and other short-term investments maturing within one year compared
to $653 million at year end 1992. Additional asset liquidity is provided by the
remainder of the securities portfolio and selected securitizable loan assets.
The Bancorp has a practice of maintaining core deposits as the primary means of
funding interest-earning assets. Average core deposits, defined as all deposits
except certificates-$100,000 and over, fund approximately 73% of total average
interest-earning assets at December 31, 1993. This, in addition to the
Bancorp's 10% average equity capital base, serves as a stable funding base. The
Bancorp has significant unused national money market funding capability. The
Bancorp maintains A1+/P1 Standard & Poor's and Moody's ratings on its commercial
paper and its lead bank, The Fifth Third Bank, in Cincinnati, Ohio, maintains
an Aa2 Moody's rating for long-term deposits. The Bancorp's affiliate in
Toledo, The Fifth Third Bank of Northwestern Ohio, N.A., maintains A1+ and AA-
Standard and Poor's ratings on its short-term and long-term deposits,
respectively. These ratings, along with capital ratios significantly above the
current regulatory guidelines, provide the Bancorp additional liquidity.
Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and has managed these
levels in response to other balance sheet factors.
         During 1993, the Bancorp accessed a new funding source to supplement
its core deposit funding. The Bancorp, through one of its affiliate banks,
issued $40,000,000 in notes payable to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The
notes mature quarterly beginning in 1994 and bear interest of 3.90% to 4.55%.
The Bancorp expects to utilize the FHLB as an additional funding source for its
affiliate banks in the future.
         The Bancorp employs a variety of measurement techniques to identify
and manage its exposure to changing interest rates. The Bancorp uses simulation
techniques which attempt to measure the net interest income volatility of
changes in the level of interest rates, basic banking interest rate spreads,
the shape of the yield curve and changing product growth patterns. The table
which follows shows the Bancorp's interest rate sensitivity analysis for the
year ended December 31, 1993. The assets and liabilities are distributed to
reflect expected cash flows and are based on historical deposit rate
relationships to changes in market interest over long-term rate changes. The
Bancorp would anticipate very limited exposure to rising interest rates during
1994.
