                   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Financial information for all prior periods has been restated for the
     acquisition of The Cumberland Federal Bancorporation, Inc., which was
     completed August 26th and accounted for as a pooling of interests. 
     Financial information as of December 31, 1993 has been derived from the
     audited consolidated financial statements of the Registrant.

2.   In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
     statements include all adjustments (which consist of only normal,
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
     financial position as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the results 
     of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
     1993 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
     1993.

3.   The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.

4.   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 of the Registrant is not expected to be material.

5.   To manage interest rate risk during the first quarter of 1994, the
     Registrant sold $62,280,000 of GNMA Adjustable Rate Mortgage-backed
     (ARM) securities, which were classified as held to maturity at December
     31, 1993, at an immaterial gain.  As a result of this sale, the
     Registrant no longer holds any amount of this sector of securities, nor
     are future purchases expected.

6.   Residential mortgage loans held for sale, which are valued at the lower
     of aggregate cost or market value, were $28,864,000, $179,389,000 and
     $66,378,000 at September 30, 1994, December 31, 1993 and September 30,
     1993, respectively.

7.   In the first nine months of 1994, the Registrant paid $268,899,000 in
     interest and $60,500,000 in Federal income taxes.  In the first nine
     months of 1993, the Registrant paid $242,883,000 in interest and
     $56,400,000 in Federal income taxes.  In the first nine months of 1994
     and 1993, the Registrant had noncash investing activities consisting of
     the securitization of $351,799,000 and $51,186,000 of residential
     mortgage loans, respectively.

ITEM 1.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

8.   On August 26, 1994, the Registrant completed the acquisition of The
     Cumberland Federal Bancorporation, Inc. (The Cumberland).  The merger
     was effected through the issuance of 2,696,882 shares of the
     Registrant's common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares for all
     of the common stock of The Cumberland.  All financial information has
     been restated to include the operations of The Cumberland as if the
     transaction had been completed as of the beginning of the earliest
     period reported.  The contribution of The Cumberland to consolidated net
     interest income, other operating income and net income for the periods
     prior to the merger was as follows:
                              Six Months     Three Months   Nine Months

9.   In May 1994, the Registrant reached a definitive agreement to acquire
     Mutual Federal Savings Bank of Miamisburg, a Stock Savings Bank with
     approximately $85 million in assets.  This merger is expected to be
     completed in the first quarter of 1995, pending regulatory and
     shareholder approvals.

10.  Certain prior year's data has been reclassified to conform to current
     presentation.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Registrant's financial condition and results
of operations during the periods included in the consolidated financial
statements which are a part of this filing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Registrant's net income was $62,844,000 for the third quarter of 1994,
compared to $54,159,000 for the same period in 1993.  Third quarter earnings
per share were $.98, a 14% increase over last year's $.86.

Total assets were $14.3 billion at quarter end, compared to 1993's third
quarter-end assets of $12.5 billion.  For the third quarter of 1994, return
on average equity was 18.0% and return on average assets was 1.77%.

                                       11
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The Registrant's net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
the third quarter of 1994 was $137.7 million, an 11.4% increase over the
$123.6 million realized in the same period of 1993.  This increase resulted
from a 16.5% increase in average interest earning assets and a decrease of 19
basis points in the net interest margin.

The provision for credit losses was $7.3 million in the third quarter of 1994
and $10.4 million in the third quarter of 1993.  During 1994, The Cumberland
began to increase its reserve for credit losses for the possibility of more
aggressive post-merger workout and disposition plans to conform to the
Registrant's reserving practices.  In September 1994, loans totalling $6.7
million were disposed of, resulting in a chargeoff of $1.2 million, and $3.8
million was provided for additional expected losses on the disposition of
certain letter of credit obligations.  The portion of the total reserve for
credit losses on these letters of credit totalled $8.0 million and $2.7
million at September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Disposal of these
letters of credit will return the reserve for credit losses to traditional
Registrant levels.  The reserve for credit losses as a percentage of loans
and leases outstanding was 1.60% at September 30, 1994 and 1.52% at September

Total other operating income, excluding securities gains, increased to $63.5
million during the third quarter of 1994, an 11.6% increase over the third

income compared to the same period in 1993.  Combined trust income, service
charges on deposits and other service charges and fees increased 7.6% over
the same period in 1993.  Gains on sales of residential mortgage loans,

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The material changes that have occurred in the Registrant's financial
condition during 1994 are as follows ($000's):

                                 Sept. 30,   Dec. 31,
                                   1994       1993       $ +/-    % +/-
                               ----------------------------------------
Securities Available for Sale  $ 1,091,937    898,074    193,863   21.6
Securities Held to Maturity      2,253,727  1,776,394    477,333   26.9
Deposits                        10,626,555  9,477,306  1,149,249   12.1
Federal Funds Borrowed             339,232  1,031,564   (692,332) (67.1)
Short-Term Bank Notes              740,000         --    740,000     nm
Long-Term Debt                      40,408    265,119   (224,711) (84.8)

The growth in securities available for sale and held to maturity has been
funded primarily through growth in total deposits, of which approximately
$374.6 million resulted from acquisitions.  During the third quarter, a $1
billion short-term bank note facility was established.  The notes are offered
with maturity dates of less than one year and are uninsured obligations of
two of the Registrant's subsidiary banks.  Proceeds from bank notes were used
primarily to repay federal funds borrowed and long-term debt.

On May 20, 1994, the Registrant purchased $294.1 million in deposits as well
as the facilities of seven Equitable Savings Bank branches in southern and
central Ohio.  On June 3, 1994, the Registrant acquired The National Bancorp
of Kentucky, Inc., a $90 million, two-bank holding company headquartered in
Louisville, Kentucky, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  The Consolidated Financial Statements have not been restated for
this acquisition due to immateriality.

As noted previously, on August 26, 1994, the Registrant acquired The
Cumberland in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. 
Financial information for all prior periods has been restated for this
acquisition.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure that
sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit
withdrawals.  The banking subsidiaries' liquidity sources consist of short-
term marketable securities, maturing loans and federal funds loaned and
selected securitizable loan assets.  During the third quarter of 1994,
approximately $324 million in residential mortgage loans were securitized
resulting in a transfer of the related balances from loans to securities. 
Liquidity has also been obtained through liabilities such as customer-related
core deposits, funds borrowed, certificates of deposit and public funds
deposits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

At September 30, 1994, stockholders' equity was $1.4 billion, compared to
$1.2 billion at September 30, 1993, an increase of $174.3 million, or 14.7%. 
Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets as of September 30, 1994
was 9.5%.  At September 30, 1994, the Registrant had a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 11.6%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.7% and a
leverage ratio of 9.6%.  At September 30, 1993, the Registrant had a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, total risk-based capital ratio of 13.3%
and a leverage ratio of 9.3%.
