                   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Financial information as of December 31, 1994 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, 1995 and 1994, and the
     results  of operations for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

3.   The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.

4.   The Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
     as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
     of a  Loan--Income Recognition and  Disclosures,"  effective
     January 1, 1995.  These statements require that impaired loans be
     measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
     discounted at the loans' effective interest rates or the fair value
     of the underlying collateral, and specify alternative methods for
     recognizing interest income on loans that are impaired or for which
     there are credit concerns.  The adoption of SFAS No. 114 and No.
     118 did not have any effect on the total reserve for credit losses
     or related provision.

5.   The Registrant adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
     Servicing Rights," during the third quarter of 1995.  This
     statement requires an entity that sells or securitizes mortgage
     loans with servicing rights retained to allocate the total cost of
     the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans
     based on their relative fair values.  Resulting capitalized
     mortgage servicing rights must be assessed for impairment
     periodically based on fair value, with any impairment recognized
     through a valuation allowance.  The effect of adoption of SFAS No.
     122 was to increase gains on sales of mortgage loans by $2.5
     million (pre-tax) during the third quarter of 1995.

6.   Residential mortgage loans held for sale, which are valued at the
     lower of aggregate cost or market value, were $24,659,000,
     $4,168,000 and $28,864,000 at September 30, 1995, December 31, 1994
     and September 30, 1994, respectively.

<PAGE>
ITEM 1.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

7.   In the first nine months of 1995, the Registrant paid $411,120,000
     in interest and $52,000,000 in Federal income taxes.  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 1995 and 1994, respectively, the Registrant had noncash
     investing activities consisting of the securitization of
     $553,149,000 and $351,799,000 of residential mortgage loans.

8.   On January 20, 1995, the Registrant acquired Mutual Federal Savings
     Bank of Miamisburg (Ohio), A Stock Savings Bank, with $78 million
     in assets.  On July 21, 1995, the Registrant acquired Falls
     Financial, Inc., with assets of $573 million.  On September 8,
     1995, the Registrant acquired the $49 million Bank of Naples.  Each
     of these transactions were stock-for-stock exchanges accounted for
     as poolings of interests.  The Consolidated Financial Statements
     for prior periods have not been restated due to immateriality.

9.   On June 23, 1995, the Registrant purchased the deposits and fixed
     assets of the Banc One branch in Lebanon, Ohio.  On September 22,
     1995, the Registrant purchased loans, deposits and the fixed assets
     of the seven branches of the Dayton, Ohio division of PNC Bank.

10.  In September, 1995, the Registrant reached a definitive agreement
     to acquire $1.4 billion in deposits and 28 Cleveland-area offices
     from First Nationwide Bank.  This acquisition is expected to close
     in the first quarter of 1996, pending regulatory and shareholder
     approvals.

11.  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 $75,189,000 for the third quarter of
1995, compared to $62,844,000 for the same period in 1994.  Third
quarter earnings per share were $1.13, a 15.3% increase over last year's
$.98.

Total assets were $17.2 billion at quarter end, compared to 1994's third
quarter-end assets of $14.3 billion.  For the third quarter of 1995,
return on average equity was 18.4% and return on average assets was
1.80%.

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

The Registrant's net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
for the third quarter of 1995 was $151.2 million, a 9.7% increase over
the $137.7 million realized in the same period of 1994.  This increase
resulted from an 18.6% increase in average interest-earning assets,
offset by a decrease of 31 basis points in the net interest margin.

Total loans and leases increased 16.1% over last year.  Commercial loans
and leases were up 17.4%, led by commercial leases, up 49% and
commercial loans, up 17.3%.  Retail loans and leases were up 15.2% since
September 30, 1994, led by consumer leases, up 32.2%, and installment
loans, up 21.7%.  Since September 30, 1994, the Bancorp has sold or
securitized approximately $776 million in residential mortgage loans to
improve liquidity and limit interest rate risk.  Originations during
that same period exceeded $802 million.

The provision for credit losses was $10.7 million in the third quarter
of 1995 and $7.3 million in the third quarter of 1994.  The reserve for
credit losses as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding was 1.50%
at September 30, 1995 and 1.60% at September 30, 1994.  Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of total loans, leases and other real estate
owned were .24% at September 30, 1995 and .31% at September 30, 1994.

Total other operating income, excluding securities gains, increased to
$76.2 million for the third quarter of 1995, a 20.0% increase over the
third quarter of 1994.  This growth was led by a 38.5% increase in other
service charges and fees.  Other service charges and fees for the
quarter included a gain of approximately $2.5 million from the adoption
of SFAS No. 122 and a gain of approximately $1 million on the sale of
other real estate owned.  Data processing and trust income increased
19.2% and 12.8%, respectively, over the same period in 1994.

Total operating expenses increased 4.8% during the third quarter over
the similar period of 1994.  Salaries, wages and employee benefits
increased 4.7% over 1994.  The number of full-time equivalent employees
increased 4.4% (or 252) over the same period in 1994 to 5,920 at
September 30, 1995.  Nearly all of the increase in full-time equivalent
employees is due to acquisitions.  Equipment and net occupancy expenses
increased 4.2% over 1994 and other operating expenses increased 5.1%
over 1994. The overhead ratios (operating expenses divided by the sum of
fully taxable equivalent net interest income and other operating income)
were 43.0% and 47.2% for the third quarters of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

The FDIC lowered the federal deposit insurance premium on most of the
Registrant's deposits from 23 cents to 4 cents per $100 of deposits in
September of 1995.  However, Congress is currently considering a
special, one-time assessment on thrifts that could also apply to the
deposits that the Registrant has acquired from thrifts over the years. 
If enacted in its present form, the assessment could result in a
one-time, pre-tax charge of up to $21 million in the fourth quarter of
1995, which could be offset by lower ongoing insurance costs in the
future.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The material changes that have occurred in the Registrant's financial
condition during 1995 are as follows ($000's):

                                 Sept. 30,   Dec. 31,
                                   1995        1994     $ +/-    % +/-
                               ---------------------------------------
Securities Available for Sale  $ 2,069,427  1,129,492   939,935   83.2
Loans and Leases                11,592,354 10,286,457 1,305,897   12.7
Deposits                        11,721,852 10,630,878 1,090,974   10.3
Long-Term Debt                     286,908     35,409   251,499  710.3

The growth in securities available for sale was due primarily to the
securitization and transfer of $553 million in residential mortgage
loans.  Loan and lease origination volume was strong, funded primarily
through core deposits, with approximately $875 million in deposits
acquired during 1995.  Additional loan growth was funded through short-
term and long-term borrowings.  During the third quarter of 1995, the
Registrant issued $250 million in 6.75% subordinated debt through its
lead bank in Cincinnati.  This debt matures in 2005 and qualifies as
total risk-based capital for regulatory purposes.

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.  Liquidity has also
been obtained through liabilities such as customer-related core
deposits, funds borrowed, certificates of deposit and public funds
deposits.

At September 30, 1995, stockholders' equity was $1.645 billion, compared
to $1.360 billion at September 30, 1994, an increase of $.285 billion,
or 20.9%.  Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets as of
September 30, 1995 was 9.6%.  The Federal Reserve Board has adopted
risk-based capital guidelines which assign risk weightings to assets and
off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum capital
requirements (risk-based capital ratios).  The guidelines also define
"well capitalized" ratios of Tier 1, total capital and leverage as 6%,
10% and 5%, respectively.  At September 30, 1995, the Registrant had a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, a total risk-based capital
ratio of 14.3% and a leverage ratio of 9.5%.  At September 30, 1994, the
Registrant had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.6%, total risk-
based capital ratio of 13.6% and a leverage ratio of 9.5%.  The
Registrant, as well as each of it's bank subsidiaries, had Tier 1, total
capital and leverage ratios above the well capitalized levels at
September 30, 1995.
