ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

                                  ORGANIZATION

Registrant was organized in 1974 under the laws of the State of Ohio.  It began
operations in 1975 upon reorganization of its principal subsidiary, The Fifth
Third Bank.  The executive offices of the Registrant are located in Cincinnati,
Ohio.  The Registrant is a multi-bank holding company as defined in the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered as such with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Registrant is also a
multi-savings-and-loan holding company and is registered with the Office of
Thrift Supervision.  Registrant has sixteen wholly-owned subsidiaries:  Fifth
Third Kentucky Bank Holding Company; The Fifth Third Bank; The Fifth Third Bank
of Columbus Ohio; The Fifth Third Bank of Northwestern Ohio, N.A.; The Fifth
Third Bank of Southern Ohio; The Fifth Third Bank of Western Ohio; Fifth Third
Bank of Northeastern Ohio; Fifth Third Savings Bank of Northern Ohio, FSB; Fifth
Third Bank of Florida; Fifth Third Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc.; Fifth Third
Bank of Kentucky, Inc.; The Fifth Third Savings Bank of Western Kentucky, FSB;
Fifth Third Community Development Company; Fifth Third Investment Company; and
Fountain Square Insurance Company.  Unless the context otherwise indicates the
term "Company" as used herein means the Registrant and the term "Bank" means its
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Fifth Third Bank.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company's consolidated total assets were
$17,052,883,000 and stockholders' equity totalled $1,724,575,000.

The Bank has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Midwest Payment Systems, Inc.;
Fifth Third Securities, Inc.; The Fifth Third Company; and The Fifth Third
Leasing Company.


                               ACQUISITIONS

The Company is the result of mergers and acquisitions over the years involving
financial institutions throughout Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Florida.  The
Company made the following acquisitions during 1995:

On January 20, 1995, the Company acquired Mutual Federal Savings Bank of
Miamisburg (Ohio), A Federal Savings Bank, with total assets of approximately
$78 million, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. 

On June 23, 1995, the Company purchased approximately $16 million in deposits
and the fixed assets of the Lebanon, Ohio branch of Bank One.

On July 21, 1995, the Company acquired Falls Financial, Inc., with consolidated
assets of approximately $573 million, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Falls
Savings Bank, FSB ("Falls FSB") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests. 









                                    Page  3
<PAGE>
On September 8, 1995, the Company acquired Bank of Naples (Florida), with total
assets of approximately $49 million, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling
of interests.  Concurrent with this transaction, Fifth Third Trust Co. & Savings
Bank, FSB retained the bank charter of Bank of Naples and was renamed Fifth
Third Bank of Florida.

On September 22, 1995, the Company purchased the Dayton Division of PNC Bank
(Ohio).  The offices, with approximately $256 million in deposits and $215
million in assets, were merged into the Bank's branch network.

On November 17, 1995, the Company purchased approximately $118 million in
deposits and the fixed assets of several offices of Bank One, Cincinnati.

In August of 1995, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Kentucky
Enterprise Bancorp, Inc., with $280 million in assets.  In October of 1995 the
Company entered into an agreement with NBD Bank (Ohio), a subsidiary of NBD
Bancorp, Inc. to acquire 25 offices with deposits of $542 million in Columbus
and Dayton.  These transactions are expected to be completed in the first
quarter of 1996.

On January 19, 1996, the Company purchased approximately $1.4 billion in
deposits and the fixed assets of 28 Cleveland-area offices from 1st Nationwide
Bank.  The acquisition price of the deposits, offices and other fixed assets was
approximately $136 million.

                                  COMPETITION

There are hundreds of commercial banks, savings and loans and other financial
services providers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Florida and nationally, which
provide strong competition to the Company's banking subsidiaries.  As providers
of a full range of financial services, these subsidiaries compete with national
and state banks, savings and loan associations, securities dealers, brokers,
mortgage bankers, finance and insurance companies, and other financial service
companies.  With respect to data processing services, the Bank's data processing
subsidiary, Midwest Payment Systems, Inc., competes with other electronic fund
transfer (EFT) service providers such as Deluxe Data Services, EDS and
Electronic Payment Systems and other merchant processing providers such as FDR,
NPC and FIRST USA.

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.
                             Page  4
<PAGE>
On September 29, 1994, the Act was amended by The Interstate Banking and Branch
Efficiency Act of 1994 which authorizes interstate bank acquisitions anywhere
in the country effective one year after the date of enactment, and interstate
branching by acquisition and consolidation effective June 1, 1997, in those
states that have not opted out by that date.  The impact of this amendment on
the Company cannot be measured at this time.

The Company's subsidiary 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 subsidiary bank
which is organized under the laws of the United States is primarily subject to
regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.  The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, and its
savings and loan subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift
Supervision.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions on
intercompany loans and investments.  The Company and its subsidiaries are also
subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the underwriting and
public sale and distribution of securities.  In addition, the Company and its
subsidiaries are subject to examination at the discretion of supervisory
authorities.

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.

The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) provides
that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable
for any loss incurred by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection
with the default of, or any FDIC-assisted transaction involving, an affiliated
insured bank or savings association.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the "FDIC
Improvement Act") covers a wide expanse of banking regulatory issues.  The FDIC
Improvement Act deals with the recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund, with
deposit insurance reform, including requiring the FDIC to establish a risk-based
premium assessment system, and with a number of other regulatory and supervisory
matters.  

                               EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1995, there were no employees of the Company.  Subsidiaries
of the Company employed 6,432 employees--1,042 were officers and 1,270 were
part-time employees.

                           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, 1995, are incorporated herein by reference to the securities tables
on page 32 of the Company's 1995 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 of states and political
subdivisions (municipal securities) have been increased as follows:

          Under 1 year                       2.48%
          1 - 5 years                        2.56%
          6 - 10 years                       2.63%
          Over 10 years                      2.95%
          Total municipal securities         2.56%


                             AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS

The average balance sheets are incorporated herein by reference to Table 1 on
pages 28 and 29 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders attached to
this filing as Exhibit 13.


           ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST INCOME CHANGES

The analysis of net interest income and the analysis of net interest income
changes are incorporated herein by reference to Table 1 and Table 2 and the
related discussion on pages 28 through 30 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report
to Stockholders attached to this filing as Exhibit 13.

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

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
$13,101,000 in 1995, $18,306,000 in 1994 and $20,963,000 in 1993.

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, 1995 of $177,388,000 is adequate.

Fifth Third Bancorp
And Subsidiaries   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND
        REPORTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
     Fifth Third Bancorp (Bancorp) conducts its principal activities through
its banking and non-banking subsidiaries from 384 offices located throughout
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida. Principal activities include commercial
and retail banking, trust and data processing.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Fifth Third
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.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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, and which management has the intent
and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost. Available for
sale and trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses, net of related deferred income taxes, included in stockholders'
equity or income, respectively. The Bancorp adopted this Statement effective
December 31, 1993. Realized securities gains or losses are reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. The cost of securities sold is based on the
specific identification method.

LOANS AND LEASES
     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. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is charged
against income.

     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.

     Residential mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of
aggregate cost or market value and were $22,954,000 and $4,168,000 at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Bancorp has commitments to sell
residential mortgage loans held for sale in the secondary market. Gains or
losses on sales are recognized in Other Service Charges and Fees upon delivery.

     SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," 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 adopting SFAS No. 122 in the third quarter of 1995 was to increase
gains on sales of residential mortgage loans by $2.5 million (pre-tax).

     The Bancorp adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan," as amended, effective January 1, 1995. This statement requires that
impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rates or the fair value of
the underlying collateral, and specifies alternative methods for recognizing
interest income on loans that are impaired or for which there are credit
concerns. For purposes of applying this standard, impaired loans have been
defined as all nonaccrual loans. The Bancorp's policy for income recognition
was not affected by adoption of the standard. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did
not have any effect on the total reserve for credit losses or related
provision.

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 based
on management's review of the historical credit loss experience and such other
factors which, in management's judgment, deserve consideration 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 premium on purchased deposits are amortized on a
straight-line basis generally over a period of 15 years. Management reviews
intangible assets for possible impairment if there is a significant event that
detrimentally affects operations. Impairment is measured using estimates of the
future earnings potential of the entity or assets acquired.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The Bancorp enters into foreign exchange forward contracts primarily to
enable customers involved in international trade to hedge their exposure to
foreign currency fluctuations. The Bancorp hedges its exposure to market rate
fluctuations by entering into offsetting third party forward contracts.
Unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts are generally insignificant
and are recognized in Other Service Charges and Fees when realized.

     The Bancorp does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes.

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 do not have a materially dilutive effect.

     All references to per share amounts for prior years in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related Notes have been adjusted for the three-for-two
stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend paid January 12, 1996.

Fifth Third Bancorp
   And Subsidiaries    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OTHER
     SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may
not be recoverable. This statement is effective January 1, 1996 and is not
expected to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Securities and other property held by the Trust and Investment Group of
the Bancorp subsidiaries in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not included in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets because such items are not assets of the
subsidiaries. Trust income is recognized on the accrual basis.

nonqualified options outstanding. At December 31, 1995, options to purchase
2,028,604 shares were exercisable and 1,407,590 shares were available for

     SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but
does not require, adoption of a fair-value-based accounting method for employee
stock-based compensation arrangements and is effective January 1, 1996.
Management intends to elect disclosure of its pro forma net income and net
income per share as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in
measuring compensation cost.

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 1995 and 8.25% in
1994, and the rate of increase in future compensation levels was 5% in 1995 and
5.5% in 1994. The expected long-term rate of return on retirement plan assets
was 9% in both years.

Fifth Third Bancorp
   And Subsidiaries            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 13-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     The Bancorp, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its
customers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida, and to minimize exposure to
fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. These financial
instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit, standby and
commercial letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps
and commitments to sell residential mortgage loans. These instruments involve,
to varying degrees, elements of credit risk, counterparty risk and market risk
in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
contract or notional 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 and guarantors.

</TABLE>

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend. Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn
upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The Bancorp's exposure to credit risk in the event of
nonperformance by the other party is the contract amount. Fixed rate
commitments are subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest
rates and the Bancorp's exposure is limited to the replacement value of those
commitments.

     Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments
issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At December
31, 1995, approximately $311,465,000 of standby letters of credit will expire
within one year, $223,269,000 expire between one to five years and $41,431,000
expire thereafter. At December 31, 1995, letters of credit of approximately
$35,370,000 were issued to commercial customers for a duration of one year or
less to facilitate trade payments in domestic and foreign transactions. The
amount of credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit in the event of
nonperformance by the other party is the contract amount.

     Foreign exchange forward contracts are for future delivery or purchase of
foreign currency at a specified price. 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, limiting the Bancorp's exposure
to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional principal or
contract amounts. The Bancorp reduces its market risk for foreign exchange
contracts by entering into offsetting third party forward contracts. The
foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 1995 mature in one year
or less.

     The Bancorp enters into forward contracts for future delivery of
residential mortgage loans at a specified yield to reduce the interest rate
risk associated with fixed-rate residential mortgages held for sale and
commitments to fund residential mortgages. Credit risk arises from the possible
inability of the other parties to comply with the contract terms. The majority
of the Bancorp's contracts are with U.S. government-sponsored agencies (FNMA,
FHLMC).

     At December 31, 1994, the Bancorp had two interest rate swaps acquired
with The Cumberland Federal Bancorporation, Inc. (The Cumberland) which had a
total notional amount of $30,000,000. Both agreements required the Bancorp to
pay a fixed interest rate of 4.69% and receive a variable rate based on the
three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). Both agreements expired in
1995.

   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.

</TABLE>

     The Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to include the
acquisition of The Cumberland Federal Bancorporation, Inc. No other
restatements have been made due to immateriality.

     In August of 1995, the Bancorp entered into a merger agreement with
Kentucky Enterprise Bancorp, Inc., with $280 million in assets. The merger is
expected to be completed in early 1996 and will be accounted for as a pooling
of interests.

   In September of 1995, the Bancorp entered into an agreement to acquire $1.4
billion in deposits and 28 Cleveland-area offices from 1st Nationwide Bank. The
acquisition price of the deposits, offices and other fixed assets is $136
million. In October of 1995, the Bancorp entered into an agreement with NBD
Bank (Ohio), a subsidiary of NBD Bancorp, Inc., to acquire 25 offices with
deposits of $542 million in Columbus and Dayton. These transactions are
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1996, pending approval by
appropriate regulatory agencies.

NOTE 15-REGULATORY MATTERS

     The principal source of income and funds for the Bancorp (parent company)
are dividends from its subsidiaries. During the year 1996, the amount of
dividends that the subsidiaries can pay to the Bancorp without prior approval
of regulatory agencies is limited to their 1996 eligible net profits, as
defined, and $280,482,000, the adjusted retained 1995 and 1994 net income of
the subsidiaries.

     The banks must maintain noninterest-bearing cash balances on reserve with
the Federal Reserve Bank. In 1995 and 1994, the banks were required to maintain
average reserve balances of $165,549,000 and $203,410,000, respectively.

NOTE 16-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, certain directors, executive officers,
principal holders of Bancorp common stock and associates of such persons were
indebted to the banking subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of $185,190,000
and $153,262,000, respectively. During 1995, new loans aggregating $358,081,000
were made to such parties and loans aggregating $326,153,000 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, represent 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,
short-term bank notes 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 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.

     Mortgage servicing rights-fair values were derived from a variety of
sources indicative of servicing values, including values from previous sales of
servicing rights and FNMA/FHLMC mortgage pricing.

     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.

     Commitments and letters of credit-fair values of loan commitments, letters
of credit and commitments to sell loans, representing assets to the Bancorp,
were based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with
similar maturities.

     Interest rate swap agreements-fair values were based on the amount the
Bancorp would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements, taking into
account the current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap
counterparties. The fair value represents an asset at December 31, 1994.

     Foreign exchange contracts-fair value was based on quoted market prices of
comparable instruments and represents a net asset to the Bancorp.

Fifth Third Bancorp
   And Subsidiaries   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, 1995 and 1994, 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, 1995.
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, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 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.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     The largest source of the Bancorp's revenue is net interest income. Net
interest income is the spread between interest income on interest-earning
assets, such as loans and leases and securities, and the interest expense on
liabilities used to fund those assets, such as interest-bearing deposits and
borrowings. 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 interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference
between the average yield earned on interest-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 interest-earning
assets funded by non-interest-bearing, or free funding, sources, primarily
demand deposits and stockholders' equity.

Fifth Third Bancorp
    And Subsidiaries   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Table 1, Consolidated Average Balance Sheets and Analysis of Net Interest
Income, presents the net interest income, net interest margin and net interest
rate spread for the five years 1991 through 1995, comparing interest revenue and
average interest-earning assets outstanding with interest cost and average
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. All three of these measures are
reported on a taxable equivalent basis. Nonaccrual loans and leases have been
included in the average loan and lease balances. Average outstanding securities
balances were based on amortized cost excluding unrealized gains or losses on
securities available for sale.

     Net interest income grew to $596 million in 1995, an increase of 10.1%
over the $541.3 million earned during 1994. Net interest income increased 9.6%
in 1994 over 1993. For both 1995 and 1994, increases in net interest income
were attributable primarily to average interest-earning asset growth that
overcame the effect of compressed net interest margins.

     During 1995, average interest-earning assets grew by $2.2 billion to $15.3
billion, an increase of 17.2% over 1994. In 1994, average interest-earning
assets grew 15.9% over 1993. Average loans and leases increased $1.1 billion or
10.7% in 1995 and $1 billion or 11.7% in 1994. Average loans and leases
comprised 71.8% of total average interest-earning assets in 1995, compared to
76% for 1994 and 78.9% for 1993. This shift in earning-asset mix from loans and
leases to securities is primarily due to securitizations of the Bancorp's
residential mortgage loans of $854.5 million in 1995 and $341.2 million in
1994.  Securitization improves liquidity, reduces interest rate risk and
provides more balance sheet flexibility. Management expects to continue to
securitize consumer loans in future years.

     Average interest-bearing liabilities grew from $9.4 billion in 1993 to
$10.8 billion in 1994 to $12.6 billion in 1995. Interest-bearing core deposits,
(which exclude certificates $100,000 and over and foreign office deposits),
remain our most important funding source because they are relatively lower cost
and the basis for an ongoing customer relationship. For the past three years,
the Bancorp's core deposit growth, like most Midwestern banks, has not kept
pace with strong loan and lease volume. This demonstrates the difficulty of
maintaining deposits at lower rates following a rapid increase in short-term
market rates and the popularity of other investment alternatives. Average
non-core deposits and short-term borrowings have grown from 18.2% of average
interest-earning assets in 1993 to 27.2% in 1995.

     The net interest margin declined 26 basis points (bp) (a basis point is
equivalent to .01%) to 3.90% in 1995 from 4.16% in 1994 and 23 bp in 1994 from
1993's 4.39%. Net interest margin compressed during 1994 and the first part of
1995, due primarily

to 1994's rapid rise in short-term interest rates which caused short-term
liabilities to reprice upward faster than term assets. The acquisitions of
several thrifts, which have lower net interest rate spreads and margins due to
asset mix and less free funding sources, have also contributed to the
tightening of net interest margins. Margins stabilized in the last part of 1995
as strong loan and lease volume and higher interest rates improved average
interest-earning asset yields. Earning asset yield rose 63 bps in 1995 from
7.27% to 7.9% due to an 80 bp increase in loan and lease yields and a 40 bp
increase in securities yields. Interest-bearing deposit cost rose by 92 bps
from 3.64% in 1994 to 4.56% in 1995. Total funding cost rose by 108 bps from
3.75% to 4.83% in 1995. Growth in average demand deposits of 12.1% and 11.5%,
respectively, in 1995 and 1994, along with higher interest-earning asset yields
in 1995, have increased the positive impact of free funding on net interest
margin in 1995. The effect of free funds on net interest margin climbed from a
low of 59 bp in 1993 to 83 bp in 1995.

     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 interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 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 illustrates the net interest income effect of balance sheet
changes and changes in interest rate levels which occurred during 1995 and
1994.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

     The table below shows the components of other operating income for the
five years ending December 31, 1995. Total other operating income excluding
securities gains increased 17.8% over 1994 and was up 13.5% in 1994 over 1993.

     Trust income totalled $61,755,000 in 1995, an increase of 11.8% over
1994's $55,238,000. This was primarily attributable to strong investment
performance, major new customer business, the success of our Fountain Square(R)
mutual funds and fee increases. During 1995, trust assets under care increased
85% to $79.6 billion and trust assets under management increased 27% to $8.5
billion. Trust income increased 3.4% in 1994 over 1993. The rate of growth in
1994 was lower primarily due to the low overall returns of equity markets that
year, as asset values are the basis of much of our trust fees.

     Service charges on deposits totalled $66,344,000 in 1995 and $60,905,000
in 1994, up 8.9% and 6.5%, respectively. The growth in both years was fueled by
an expanding delivery system, deposit acquisitions, successful product
campaigns and pricing enhancements. The slower growth rate in 1994 paralleled
slower overall deposit growth and demonstrated the difficulty of maintaining
deposits in 1994's rising interest rate environment.

     Total data processing income was up 17% in 1995 and 21.9% in 1994.
Merchant processing revenues, approximately 40% of data processing income,
increased 42% in 1995 and 51% in 1994. In both years, the growth was due to new
customers and

Fifth Third Bancorp
    And Subsidiaries   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

resulting increases in merchant transaction volumes. Electronic funds
transfer (EFT), the other portion of data processing income, increased 5% in
1995 and 12% in 1994. EFT income growth is attributable to new processing
contracts and new products. The slower growth rate in EFT for 1995 is due to the
loss of a large network customer in the fourth quarter of 1995. Although
consolidation of ATM networks, and the banking industry, will continue to lead
to relatively lower growth rates for portions of the Bancorp's EFT business,
management expects this to be supplemented in the future by the success of new
products such as debit and check cards.

     Other service charges and fees in 1995 were $97,516,000, an increase of
30.1% over 1994, led by mortgage banking income. Mortgage originations for 1995
were over $1 billion and this strong volume, along with the sale or
securitization of over $1.3 billion in residential mortgage loans during the
year, led to an increase of 18.9% in net servicing fees. Our servicing
portfolio at year-end 1995 totalled $4.7 billion, including $2.7 billion
serviced for others. This is compared to $4.4 billion, including $2.1 billion
serviced for others, at the end of 1994. Gains on sales of residential mortgage
loans and servicing for 1995 were $16,122,000 compared to 1994's $9,870,000.
Other service charges and fees also included a gain of $3.1 million on the sale
of three retail branches acquired with The Cumberland. Consumer loan and
commercial banking fees, along with cardholder fees, were up 27.8% over 1994,
due in part to strong loan volume.

     In 1994, other service charges and fees increased 21.7% over 1993.
Consumer loan and commercial banking fees, as well as cardholder fees, were up
consistent with the increases in outstandings in consumer loans and leases,
commercial loans and leases and credit cards, respectively. Mortgage banking
income in 1994 decreased over 1993, due to slower origination volume and a
decrease in gains on sales of mortgage loans of 12%.

OPERATING EXPENSES

     The Bancorp's success in controlling operating expenses comes from
efficient staffing, a constant focus on improving productivity, a comprehensive
budgeting system and the centralization of certain internal functions such as
data processing and loan servicing. Operating expense levels are often measured
using an overhead ratio (operating expenses divided by the sum of taxable
equivalent net interest income and other operating income). As the chart below
illustrates, the Bancorp's ratio has remained well below our peers, at 43.9%
for 1995 and 46.6% for 1994, and under 50% since 1991. Total operating expenses
increased 6.5% in 1995 and 5.3% in 1994 over the previous year.

     Salaries, wages and employee benefits comprised 48.2% and 48.8% of total
operating expenses in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and increased by 5.3% and
9.1% during the same periods. Full-time equivalent (FTE) employees increased by
464 in 1995 to 6,108, with approximately one-half of the increase resulting
directly from acquisitions. Average salaries, wages and benefits per FTE
employee have remained relatively flat over the last three years. The Bancorp's
productivity ratios, which measure the degree of efficiency of our employees,
have shown continuous improvement since 1990. Average interest-earning assets
per employee has increased 35% since 1990, while net income per employee has
increased 74%, as illustrated below.

     Equipment and net occupancy expenses rose 7.1% in 1995 and 1.7% in 1994.
The higher growth rate in 1995 is due in part to costs such as rent, utilities,
taxes and depreciation associated with additional, newer locations, mostly from
acquisitions. Upgrades of older equipment to support expansion and new
processing technology also contributed to 1995's expense growth.

     Other operating expenses increased to $159,573,000, up 7.7% over 1994. In
September 1995, the FDIC lowered the federal deposit insurance premium from 23
cents to four cents per $100 on the approximately 80% of the Bancorp's deposits
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). In December, the FDIC set the 1996
premium for BIF-insured deposits at zero. The portion of the Bancorp's deposits
acquired from thrifts over the years remains insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the FDIC and continues to be assessed at 23 cents.
However, Congress is currently considering a special, one-time assessment on
SAIF-insured deposits. If enacted, this assessment could result in a one-time,
pre-tax charge of up to $18 million, which could be offset by lower ongoing
insurance costs in the future.

     Other operating expenses were $148,140,000 in 1994, up 2% over 1993. FDIC
insurance was up 7.6%, marketing and communications were up 6.3%, bankcard and
loan and lease fees were up 5.5% and all other operating expenses showed little
change from 1993.

Fifth Third Bancorp
    And Subsidiaries   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCIAL CONDITION

SECURITIES

     The investment portfolio consists 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 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 5.1
years based on current prepayment expectations.

     The Bancorp securitized $854,511,000 and $341,199,000 fixed and adjustable
rate residential mortgages in 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
securitizations improve liquidity, reduce interest rate risk and the reserve
for credit losses, and preserve capital. This activity is expected to continue
in 1996.

  The consumer loan and lease portfolio's most significant growth during 1995
and 1994 was in consumer leases and installment loans. Leasing continued its
popularity as an alternative financing tool for new automobiles, reaching
record outstandings of $1.3 billion at year-end 1995, after increasing 40% in
1994. Installment loans have averaged approximately 20% of the total loan and
lease portfolio over the last five years, aided by the strength of automobile
and home equity loans. Consumer loans and leases, excluding residential
mortgage loans, increased 27% over 1994. Residential mortgage loan volume
during 1995 and 1994 exceeded $1 billion each year, with stronger refinancing
volume during the last half of 1995.
  Commercial loan and lease outstandings were up 18.5% in 1995 and 12.4% in
1994. Commercial leasing contributed increases of 45.3% and 58.6%,
respectively, consisting largely of credits within our market areas of Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana. Commercial mortgages represent approximately 7% of our
total loan and lease portfolio and include primarily financing of
owner-occupied properties-loans on properties occupied by the principal
borrower.


PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

  The Bancorp provides as an expense an amount for 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 as a percent of average loans and leases outstanding were
 .27%, .18% and .31%, for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These consistently
low levels of net charge-offs over the last three years have contributed to a
lower provision. During 1994, $3.8 million was provided for additional expected
losses on letter of credit (LOC) obligations acquired in The Cumberland
acquisition. A subsequent contract to settle this LOC contingency resulted in a
decrease of $7.8 million in the reserve for credit losses.
  The table below presents credit loss data for the most recent five year
period.

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:

were $12,597,000, an increase of 8.2% from 1994's $11,640,000. At December 31,
1995, there were $123,000 renegotiated commercial real estate loans compared to
none in 1994. Commercial other real estate owned decreased from $5,391,000 in
1994 to $2,007,000 in 1995, a decline of 62.8%.  

DEPOSITS
  Interest-earning assets are funded primarily by core deposits. 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.
Foreign office deposits are denominated in amounts greater than $100,000.
  The Bancorp completed $683,712,000 in deposit acquisitions during the last
two years ($389,586,000 from Bank One and PNC Bank in 1995 and $294,126,000
from Equitable Savings Bank in 1994). Additionally, the Bancorp acquired $603
million in deposits through the acquisitions of Mutual Federal, Falls Financial
and Bank of Naples in 1995.

</TABLE>

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
  These primarily consist of short-term excess funds from correspondent banks,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term bank notes and
commercial paper issuances. The Bancorp primarily funds short-term,
rate-sensitive interest-earning asset growth from this source.  The increase in
borrowed funds in 1995 is in part a result of the Bancorp's loan and lease
growth out pacing core deposit growth. As the following table of average
short-term borrowings and average Federal funds loaned indicates, the Bancorp
was a net borrower of funds of $2,645,914,000 in 1995, up from $1,950,107,000
in 1994:

Fifth Third Bancorp
   And Subsidiaries  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, 1995, stockholders'
equity was $1,724,575,000 compared to $1,398,774,000 at December 31, 1994, an
increase of $325,801,000 or 23.3%. This increase in capital resulted primarily
from the retention of earnings and the issuance of stock in acquisitions.  The
Federal Reserve Board adopted quantitative measures which assign risk
weightings to assets and off-balance-sheet items and also define and set
minimum regulatory capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). All banks
are required to have core capital (Tier 1) of at least 4% of risk weighted
assets, total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 leverage ratio
of 3% of adjusted quarterly average assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally
of stockholders' equity excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Total capital
consists of Tier 1 capital plus certain debt instruments and the reserve for
credit losses, subject to limitation. The regulations also define well
capitalized levels of Tier 1, total capital and leverage ratios as 6%, 10% and
5%, respectively. The Bancorp and each of its subsidiaries had Tier 1, total
capital and leverage ratios above the well capitalized levels at December 31,
1995 and 1994.
  The risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Bancorp and its
significant bank subsidiaries for the last two years follows:

  During 1995, the Bancorp issued $250 million, ten-year maturity, subordinated
notes through its lead bank. These notes qualify for total regulatory capital
and increase total capital ratios at December 31, 1995, by 293 bp for Fifth
Third Bank, Cincinnati and 169 bp for the Bancorp.
  The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued final regulations which
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 believes there will be no adverse effects from 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 and lease demand or any potential unexpected deposit withdrawals. This
goal is accomplished primarily by maintaining sufficient liquid assets in the
form of investment securities and readily securitizable consumer loans, along
with consistent core deposit growth, and the availability of unused capacity to
purchase funds in the national money markets.
  At year-end 1995, the Bancorp had approximately $1.8 billion in securities
and other short-term investments maturing or repricing within one year compared
to $1.4 billion at year-end 1994. 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 have funded
approximately 71% of total average interest-earning assets over the last five
years. This, in addition to the Bancorp's 10% average equity capital base,
serves as a stable funding base.
  In addition to its core deposit funding, the Bancorp accesses a variety of
other short-term and long-term funding sources. The Bancorp also utilizes the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as a funding source, issuing notes payable
through its FHLB-member subsidiaries.
  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
subsidiary in Toledo, The Fifth Third Bank of Northwestern Ohio, N.A.,
maintains P1 and Aa3 Moody'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.
  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, 1995. 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.
