TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
We are pleased to report that
continued improvements in credit
quality and expense control and
the successful assimilation of
acquisitions resulted in record
earnings for 1993.
Net income for 1993 was
$404.0 million, or $2.41 per
common share, compared with
$346.9 million or $2.09 per
common share in 1992, an
increase of 15.3 percent per share.
In recognition of this strong
performance, the Board of Directors
increased the quarterly dividend,
payable February 1, 1994, to
$.29 per share. This follows two
dividend increases in 1993. The
new quarterly dividend indicates
an annual rate of $1.16 per share,
11.5 percent higher than a year ago.
Return on average assets rose to
1.40 percent, compared with
1.21 percent last year, and return
on average common equity rose to
16.12 percent, compared with
15.31 percent a year ago. These
returns are among the best in the
banking industry and are higher
than the Corporation's historical
returns. The return on common
equity is of particular significance,
given that National City has one of
the strongest capital positions in
the industry. To better manage the
capital position and assure
continued high returns, two stock
repurchase programs were
authorized in 1993. The ongoing

acquisition of shares is tangible
evidence of our commitment to
stockholder value.
National City's provision for loan
losses and other credit quality costs
continued to decline throughout
1993, with the provision at
$93.1 million for the year, compared
with $129.4 million in 1992.
Nonperforming assets, which have
declined steadily over the past three
years, totaled $209.2 million at
year-end 1993, down 43 percent
from a year ago; nonperforming
assets at year-end represented less
than one percent of total loans and
foreclosed real estate. While the
banking industry overall has shown
"...NATIONAL CITY HAS ONE
OF THE STRONGEST CAPITAL
POSITIONS IN THE
INDUSTRY. TO BETTER
MANAGE THIS CAPITAL
POSITION ... TWO STOCK
REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
WERE AUTHORIZED IN
1993. THE ONGOING
ACQUISITION OF SHARES IS
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF
OUR COMMITMENT TO
STOCKHOLDER VALUE."
<PAGE> 4
marked improvement in asset
quality, National City's asset
quality has improved at a faster
pace than that of our peer group.
Loan growth was relatively slow in
1993, with the exception of resi-
dential mortgages. The reported
year-end loan totals were bolstered
by the October 1993 purchase of
Ohio Bancorp, a $1.6 billion bank
holding company headquartered in
Youngstown, Ohio. Net interest
margins for the year remained
robust. In 1994, we expect that an
improving economy will generate
better loan volume, but at narrower
spreads.
REDUCING NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Last year we successfully completed
an internal cost reduction program
called "Vision" and Captured
additional expense savings
associated with the acquisition of
National City Bank, Indiana
(formerly Merchants National
Corporation). Since the Vision
program was announced in July
1991, all areas of the Corporation
have been studied for potential cost
savings. As the result of a superb
effort on the part of our employees,
we will capture nearly $100 million
in permanent annual expense
reductions, the majority of which
will be realized by the end of 1994.
Further, National City Bank,
Indiana, reduced its expense base
by $30 million in 1993, with
additional reductions projected for
1994. Overall, noninterest expenses
were up less than three percent in
1993; excluding acquisitions, they
were down almost two percent.
These achievements reinforce
National City's reputation as an
efficient, low-cost producer.
ASSIMILATING ACQUISITIONS
With the completion of the Ohio
Bancorp acquisition in October, we
are bringing new products, services
and community development
commitments to the Youngstown
area. In April 1994, Ohio Bancorp's
five banking units will be merged
into National City Bank, Northeast,
which will have a major presence in
both Youngstown and Akron. This
acquisition is consistent with our
strategic objective of increasing
market share in our primary
markets of Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana.
FEE-BASED BUSINESSES
Fee-based revenue increased
10 percent in 1993, primarily due to
acquisition-related growth at the
Corporation's item processing
subsidiary, National City Processing
Company (NPC). Revenues at NPC
increased 38 percent from a year
ago to $268 million. Although trust
revenues were up just under
four percent, trust assets under
management increased 17 percent
to $29 billion as the result of
significant new business added in
the second half of 1993. In the
mortgage business, record-low long-
term interest rates stimulated
unprecedented demand for
residential mortgage loans, in
particular the refinancing of higher-
rate loans. The resulting early
payoffs of existing loans serviced
necessitated the more rapid
amortization of mortgage servicing
assets. Consequently, National City
Mortgage Co. reported a loss for
1993, but profits should rebound
in 1994.
FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER
For the last several years, National
City has focused its attention on
improving asset quality, reducing
expenses, assimilating acquisitions,
and completing back-office
consolidations. Looking ahead, we
must be equally focused and
committed to capturing a greater
share of our customers' buying
power for financial services.
We intend to better utilize National
City's 600-plus branches and its
sales force--the largest in the tri-
state area--to market competitive
banking, trust and investment
services. Local decision-making for
lending and credit needs and locally
implemented marketing and sales
activities will ensure respon-
siveness to customer requirements.

CORPORATION'S
PERFORMANCE
OBJECTIVES FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL YEARS
ARE AGGRESSIVE,
WE BELIEVE THEY
ARE ATTAINABLE
AND WILL POSITION
NATIONAL CITY AS ONE
OF THE PREMIER

We will continue to build on our
record of solid commitment to our
communities, as evidenced by the
number of banks in the National
City system that consistently earn
"outstanding" Community
Reinvestment Act ratings.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
As we begin the new year, we have
in place the performance objectives
and personnel necessary to meet
the financial goals we have set for
ourselves. Our employees are ready
to devote the same level of
enthusiasm and commitment to
customer service and continued
performance improvement in 1994
as they brought to the Vision cost
reduction program in 1993.
The future leadership of National
City is in place with the naming of
David A. Daberko as president and
chief operating officer. Dave,
Deputy Chairman Bill Robertson,
and I are fortunate to have a
management team with the depth
and experience necessary to lead
this company into the future. While
the Corporation's performance
objectives for the next several years
are aggressive, we believe they are
attainable and will position
National City as one of the premier
regional banking companies in the
country.
We want to thank our Board of
Directors for their guidance during
the past year. As 1993 closed,
we lost a devoted leader and
visionary from our board, retired
chairman J. Robert Killpack.

us a vision

Corporation's success will be

FINANCIAL REVIEW
EARNINGS SUMMARY
National City Corporation's consolidated net income was
$404.0 million in 1993, compared with $346.9 million in 1992
and $236.8 million in 1991. Net income per common share,
after dividend requirements on preferred stock, increased
15.3% in 1993 to $2.41, compared with $2.09 in 1992 and
$1.46 in 1991.
Prior period per share data have been restated to reflect
the two-for-one stock split declared and paid in July 1993.
Return on average common equity, a key performance
measure, was 16.12% in 1993, compared with 15.31% in 1992
and 11.20% in 1991 (Chart 2). Return on average assets was
1.40% in 1993 compared with 1.21% in 1992 and .81% in 1991
(Chart 3).
The following table reconciles the major changes in net
income per share:

UNIT PROFITABILITY
The contribution of the Corporation's major units to
consolidated results for the past two years is summarized in
Table 1 on page 5.
The corporate and retail banking businesses' and
national credit card earnings improved in 1993 from 1992 due
to lower provisions for loan losses, improved net interest
margins, and reduced noninterest expense.
The decline in the investment/funding group's earnings
in 1993 was due primarily to lower gains on the sale of
securities and a lower yield on investment assets.
Trust net income declined in 1993 due to higher than
anticipated expenses, including the settlement of litigation.
Item processing net income at National City Processing
Company (NPC) increased in 1993 primarily due to growth in
merchant credit card processing and acquisitions.
The loss in mortgage servicing was due to more rapid
amortization of deferred mortgage servicing rights and
capitalized excess service fees in 1993. The accelerated
amortization was in response to mortgage refinancing activity
fueled by low interest rates. Year-to-date write-downs of
deferred mortgage servicing assets exceeded the 1992 level by
approximately $28 million. Future amortization rates are
expected to decline as mortgage refinancing activity subsides.
The improvement in the corporate contribution, which
includes the parent company, was due to lower costs associated
with the cost redesign program and nonrecurring 1992
expenses associated with the acquisition of Merchants National
Corporation, as well as gains on miscellaneous asset sales in
1993.
EARNING ASSETS
Average earning assets for 1993 were $25,745 million
compared with $25,681 million in 1992 and $26,279 million in
1991 (Chart 4). Average earning assets in 1993 were fairly
stable compared with a year ago due to a combination of
growth in loans and securities, offset by a decline in short-term
money market assets. The decline in 1992 from 1991 was due
to overall sluggish loan demand.

The acquisition of Ohio Bancorp in 1993 added $809
million to year-end loan balances, including $254 million to
commercial, $320 million to residential mortgage and
$200 million to consumer.
More than 75% of the Corporation's commercial loan
portfolio consists of loans made to middle-market customers in
the Corporation's market area. The loan mix is diverse,
covering a broad range of borrowers characteristic of the
Midwest economy. As a matter of policy, concentrations within
a particular industry or segment are continually monitored
and controlled.
The commercial loan portfolio remained fairly stable in
1993, but improving economic conditions led to increases in the
second half of the year.
An analysis of the maturity and interest rate sensitivity
of commercial loans at the end of 1993 follows:

Commercial mortgages included $1,777 million of loans
secured by income-producing real estate in 1993, compared
with $1,643 million in 1992 and $1,520 million in 1991. The
remainder consists of owner-occupied loans and loans to
mortgage bankers which experienced significant growth
in 1993.
Residential mortgage loans increased in 1993 due to
greater demand from a favorable interest rate environment
and the retention of approximately $675 million of 15-year
fixed rate residential mortgages for asset/liability management
purposes. Loan originations totaled approximately $5.0 billion
in 1993, compared with $3.6 billion in 1992. Of the 1993
originations, $4.0 billion were sold in the secondary market.
During 1993, consumer spending patterns improved,
leading to growth in the consumer loan portfolio. More than
75% of consumer loans are installment loans. Of the
installment portfolio, more than 70% are indirect, with the
majority being fixed rate. The remainder of the consumer
portfolio is largely student loans.

The loss of a large customer in 1993 was responsible for
substantially all of the decline in private label outstandings. In
addition, on October 1, 1993, a $350 million credit card
securitization began to amortize back onto the balance sheet at
the rate of $29 million per month. Consequently, credit card
servicing fees will decline and net interest income will
increase. The net impact to the Corporation's income statement
is expected to be minimal. At year-end, credit card
securitizations outstanding were $363 million compared with
$540 million a year ago.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE: Commercial real estate
lending includes real estate construction and permanent loans
secured by income-producing investment real estate. The

SECURITIES: On December 31, 1993, the Corporation
adopted SFAS 115 "Accounting For Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." Accordingly, securities available
for sale are recorded at market value and the net unrecognized
gain of $35 million (net of tax) is included in stockholders'
equity. The adoption did not have a material effect on results
of operations and prior year financial statements were not
restated. In anticipation of adopting SFAS 115, securities
netting to $617 million (cost basis) were reclassified between
the held to maturity and available for sale portfolios.
The portfolio accounting designations were chosen in
order to attain most efficiently the objectives of the
Corporation's securities portfolio, which include generating
substantial interest income; serving as an important liquidity
source; and playing an integral role in the management of the
Corporation's interest rate sensitivity. Accordingly, securities in
the held to maturity portfolio are purchased with the intent
and ability to hold them to maturity and are, therefore, carried
at amortized cost. Securities in this portfolio tend to be higher
yielding and somewhat less liquid. Securities in the available
for sale category are those which may be sold prior to their
maturity for purposes of bank asset allocation, rate sensitivity,
liquidity or relative value reasons and, hence, tend to be more
liquid investments.
The portfolio decreased from $5.5 billion (cost basis) in
1992 to $5.1 billion (cost basis) at December 31, 1993,
influenced significantly by unprecedented paydowns
experienced in the year's latter half. In particular, mortgage-
backed security prepayments increased over 30% to
approximately $1.9 billion, with the majority attributed to fixed
rate collateralized mortgage obligations. The majority of these
cash flows were reinvested in adjustable rate mortgages, U.S.
Treasuries and Federal agency obligations. These securities
provide enhanced liquidity and call protection, and should
perform well in a flattening yield curve environment,
particularly one led by increases in short-term rates. The book
yield on the portfolio decreased by 90 basis points from a year
ago due primarily to the prepayments, calls and maturities of
higher rate securities purchased in prior years, and an increase
in the percentage of floating rate assets.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Yields are calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis
using the marginal Federal income tax rate of 35%. Mortgage-
backed securities are assigned to maturity categories based on
their estimated average lives.
INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
Transaction accounts increased by 7.5% in 1993, while
time deposits of individuals declined by 13.3%. Overall,
average core deposits remained fairly stable and continued to
fund more than 100% of average loans.
National City's reliance on purchased funds declined
slightly in 1993. Purchased funds primarily include domestic
certificates of deposit over $100,000, Eurodollar deposits, and
short-term borrowings.

At December 31, 1993, the total market capitalization of
the Corporation was approximately $3.9 billion.
Book value per common share at December 31, 1993 was
$16.15 compared with $14.54 at December 31, 1992 (Chart 6).
The 1993 book value includes $.22 of market appreciation in
the securities available for sale portfolio, which resulted from
the adoption of the new accounting requirements for securities
on December 31, 1993.
During 1993, the Board of Directors authorized two stock
repurchase programs. The first program was announced in the
first quarter and completed in November, and six million
common shares were purchased. The second program,
announced December 21, 1993, authorized the purchase of up
to five million shares of common stock and up to four million
depositary shares of preferred stock, subject to a combined
total purchase limit of $200 million. Through December 31,
1993, 724,600 shares of common stock and 33,800 depositary
shares of preferred stock had been purchased in the open
market.
Cash dividend payout is continually reviewed by
management and the Board of Directors. For the past three-
and five-year periods, the dividend payout has averaged 46.9%
and 45.6%, respectively (Chart 8).

FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)
In January 1994, the Board of Directors declared a first
quarter dividend of $.29 per common share, representing a
7.4% increase from the next preceding quarterly dividend of
$.27 per share. The dividend is payable February 1 to
stockholders of record on January 13, 1994. This follows two
dividend increases in 1993.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash
flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the
operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met.
Funds are available from a number of sources, including
the securities portfolio, the extensive core deposit base, the
ability to acquire large deposits in the local and national
markets, and the capability to securitize or package loans for
sale.
The parent company has four major sources of funding to
meet its liquidity requirements: dividends from its
subsidiaries, the commercial paper market, a revolving credit
agreement, and access to the capital markets.
The main source for parent company cash requirements
has been dividends from its subsidiaries. At January 1, 1994,
$96 million was available within the bank subsidiaries to pay
the parent company in dividends without prior regulatory
approval, compared with $402 million at January 1, 1993.
During 1993, subsidiary banks declared $699.6 million and
paid $543.4 million in dividends to the parent company.
As discussed in Item 1 of Form 10-K (page 38), subsidiary
banks are subject to government regulation and, among other
things, may be limited in their ability to pay dividends or
transfer funds to the holding company. Accordingly,
consolidated cash flows as presented in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows on page 24 may not represent cash
available to the Corporation's stockholders.
Funds raised in the commercial paper market through
the Corporation's subsidiary, National City Credit Corporation,
are primarily used to support the activities of National City
Mortgage Co., the Corporation's mortgage banking subsidiary,
as well as other occasional short-term cash needs. Commercial
paper outstandings at December 31, 1993 were $399 million,
compared with $378 million at year-end 1992.
The Corporation has a $200 million revolving credit
agreement with a group of unaffiliated banks which serves as a
back-up liquidity facility. The agreement expires December 31,
1995. No borrowings have occurred under this facility.
The parent company also has in place a $500 million
"shelf registration" permitting ready access to the public debt
markets. In addition, $100 million remains available under a
$300 million shelf registration for preferred stock.
In April 1993, the Corporation's Cleveland and Columbus
bank subsidiaries issued $125 million and $75 million,
respectively, of 6 1/2% subordinated notes. The notes qualify as
tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The primary goal of the asset/liability management
function at National City is to maximize net interest income
within the interest rate risk limits set by the Corporate
Asset/Liability Committee.
Interest rate risk is monitored and controlled through the
use of three different measures. These include traditional static
gap analysis, earnings simulation and duration modeling. The
most useful of these measures is the earnings simulation
model. In using this model, management can simulate the
Corporation's earnings under a variety of scenarios that
incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates, the
shape of the yield curve, prepayments, interest rate
relationships, as well as changes in the volumes and rates of
various loan and deposit categories. It is important to note
that the model also incorporates all off-balance sheet
commitments, as well as assumptions about reinvestment and
the repricing characteristics of certain non-contractual assets
and liabilities.
While each of the interest rate risk measurements has
limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably
comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in

the Corporation, the distribution of risk along the yield curve,
the level of risk through time and the amount of exposure to
certain interest rate relationships.
At year-end 1993, all of the measures described above
indicated that the Corporation was in a modest liability-
sensitive position.
The Corporation uses a variety of financial instruments
to manage its interest rate sensitivity. These include the cash
market securities in its investment portfolio, interest rate
swaps, interest rate caps and floors, and, to a lesser extent,
exchange-traded futures and options contracts. Interest rate
swaps, caps and floors, frequently called interest rate
derivatives, are an integral part of the Corporation's
asset/liability management philosophy. These instruments
have similar characteristics to cash market securities but
possess the advantages of customization of the risk-reward
profile of the instrument, minimization of balance sheet
leverage and improvement of the liquidity position of the
Corporation.
As illustrated in the following table, at year-end the net
amount of assets, adjusted for off-balance sheet instruments,
less liabilities which reprice within a given period was (12.8)%
of adjusted total earning assets within six months, and (10.8)%
within one year. The policy limit for the one-year gap is plus or
minus 12% of adjusted total earning assets.

As previously noted, core deposits and loans with non-
contractual maturities are distributed or spread among the
various repricing categories based upon historical patterns of
repricing.
Management evaluates the effects on income of
alternative interest rate scenarios against earnings in a stable
interest rate environment. The most recent earnings
simulation model projects net income would increase by an
amount equal to approximately 2.2% if rates fell gradually by
two percentage points over the next year. It projects a decrease
of approximately 2.0% if rates rose by two percentage points,
well within the (5.0)% policy limit. Management believes this
reflects a modest level of interest rate sensitivity.

</TABLE>
<PAGE> 14
FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)
The Corporation's earnings are also affected by changes
in spread relationships. For example, a 50 basis point
contraction in the relationship between the prime rate and
Federal funds rate is currently estimated to cause a 3.9%
reduction in net income over a 12-month period. Management
monitors this relationship closely and should management's
expectation for the relationship fall to a level below which it
can be mitigated in the market, management would seek to
reduce or eliminate this exposure.
The Corporation's duration model analyzes the impacts of
changes in interest rates on expected asset and liability cash
flows, including those maturing in time periods greater than
one year. At year end, a two percentage point immediate shock
upward in rates was estimated to cause a reduction in the
value of these cash flows by an amount equal to 1.1% of total
assets. Policy limits restrict this amount to 1.5% of total assets.
The value of these cash flows was projected to increase by 1.3%
of total assets for an immediate shock downward in rates of
two percentage points.
Due to borrowers' preferences for floating-rate loans and
depositors' preferences for fixed-rate deposits, the Corporation's
balance sheet moves toward higher levels of asset sensitivity
with the passage of time. In fact, management estimates that
prepayments, calls and maturities of its securities and
derivative portfolios, would cause the current level of liability
sensitivity to fall to a neutral level in 12 months unless
offsetting actions were taken.
Purchases of fixed-rate securities or interest rate
derivative instruments are required to maintain a liability
sensitive or even a neutral interest rate risk position. Using a
one-year static gap measure, the Corporation would be 4.8%
asset sensitive without securities and interest rate derivatives.
Management expects interest rates will be relatively
stable for the first quarter of 1994 and then rise slightly
throughout the year. Management believes the Corporation's
modest level of liability sensitivity is appropriate in this
environment and does not, at this time, anticipate the level of
liability sensitivity increasing significantly in 1994.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS
The Corporation uses a variety of off-balance sheet
financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures,
options, forwards, cap and floor contracts. These financial
agreements, frequently called interest rate derivatives, enable
the Corporation to manage efficiently its exposure to changes
in interest rates. The Corporation also markets derivative
contracts to its customers allowing them to manage their
exposures to changes in interest and foreign exchange rates.
As with any financial instrument, derivatives have
inherent risks. Market risk represents gains and losses that
result from changes in interest rates. These gains and losses
may be offset by other on- or off-balance sheet transactions.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative
contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform according to
the terms of the agreement. Credit risk can be measured as
the cost of acquiring a new derivative agreement with cash
flows identical to those of a defaulted agreement in the current
interest rate environment. The Corporation manages the
credit exposure to counterparties by limiting the amount of net
unrealized gains in agreements outstanding, monitoring the
size and the maturity structure of the derivative portfolio,
applying uniform credit standards maintained for all activities
with credit risk and by collateralizing unrealized gains.
During 1993, the Corporation established bilateral collateral
agreements with its major off-balance sheet counterparties
that provide for exchanges of marketable securities to
collateralize unrealized gains. On December 31, 1993, these
collateral agreements covered 90.3% of the notional amount of
the derivative portfolio and the Corporation held $35.2 million
of securities as collateral. The Corporation has never
experienced, nor does it have any reason to expect, a credit loss
associated with any interest rate derivative.
During 1993, the Corporation increased its use of interest
rate swaps to manage its sensitivity to changes in interest
rates. The total notional amount of the portfolio increased by
$2.5 billion from December 31, 1992. During 1993, the
Corporation entered into $4.8 billion of interest rate swaps

where the Corporation received a fixed rate and paid a variable
rate. The weighted initial expected maturity of these
transactions was 2.1 years. During 1993, $2.6 billion of
interest rate swaps matured or amortized.
The Corporation uses interest rate floors to help protect
its interest margin in periods of low interest rates and a
flattening yield curve. The Corporation's interest rate floor
portfolio on December 31, 1993 was $950 million in notional
amount with an average maturity of 7.6 years and $33.4
million of unrealized gains.
The Corporation enters into various off-balance sheet
interest rate agreements with its corporate customers. These
agreements totaled $936.5 million at year-end 1993 and consist
of offsetting pairs of contracts that reduce or eliminate market
risk.

NET INTEREST INCOME
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
was $1,235.8 million in 1993 compared with $1,195.3 million in
1992 and $1,185.0 million in 1991 (Chart 10).

So that non-taxable asset yields can be compared to
taxable yields on a similar basis, amounts are adjusted to their
pre-tax equivalents, based on the marginal corporate tax rate
of 35% in 1993 and 34% in prior years.
The margin improvement in 1993 compared with 1992 is
the result of a wider spread between interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. Contributing to the wider
spread was a higher level of net interest income earned from
the interest rate derivative portfolio used to change the
effective interest rate sensitivity of the following balance sheet
items (Note: Amounts in brackets represent reductions of the
related interest income or expense line, as applicable):

</TABLE>
Fees and other income increased 10.2% in 1993 from
1992 due primarily to higher item processing fees and service
charges on deposits.
Item processing revenues at NPC grew significantly in
both 1993 and 1992 due to growth in the existing bankcard
processing business as well as acquisitions.
Trust fee income increased 3.6% in 1993 and 6.3% in
1992. The Corporation's banks administered a total of
$61 billion in fiduciary assets at year-end 1993 including
managed assets of $29 billion, up from $55 billion and
$24 billion, respectively, at year-end 1992.
Credit card fees declined during 1993 due mainly to
reduced annual charge fee income on national credit cards and
loss of fee income on the credit card balances that were related
to the credit card securitization. This trend will continue as the
$350 million credit card securitization unwinds through October
1994. These fees will be replaced by interest income on the
credit card loans that have been added to the balance sheet.
Fees will likely be under additional pressure in 1994 due to the
loss of a large private label credit card customer in the fourth
quarter 1993.

Mortgage servicing revenues declined as a result of the
accelerated amortization of capitalized excess service fees,
which is recorded as a reduction of revenue. These charges
totaled $13.3 million in 1993 compared with $7.7 million in
1992. The servicing portfolio was $11.7 billion at year-end 1993
compared with $10.4 billion at year-end 1992.
There was no significant nonrecurring income in 1993.
Nonrecurring pretax gains in 1992 included a $5.7 million gain
on the sale of Mexican debt, a $4.2 million gain on the sale of
mortgage loans and student loans, and another $1.2 million
gain on miscellaneous asset sales. Nonrecurring pretax gains in
1991 were $17.1 million.

</TABLE>
Noninterest expenses rose 2.8% in 1993, compared with
1992, primarily due to acquisitions at NPC and the acquisition
of Ohio Bancorp during the fourth quarter of 1993. Total 1993
expenses related to companies acquired in 1993 were
$60.8 million. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, total
expenses declined almost 2% from 1992 levels. Amortization of
intangibles included the amortization of purchased mortgage
servicing rights, which totaled $34.5 million in 1993 and
$11.7 million in 1992.
Nonrecurring expenses in 1992 included $16.8 million in
severance costs related to both the Indiana acquisition and the
Corporation's cost redesign program. In addition, there were
$12.6 million in one-time merger-related costs and $9.3 million
of costs in the settlement of litigation. Nonrecurring expenses in
1991 were $13.1 million, all merger-related.
The full-time equivalent (FTE) staff for the Corporation,
shown in Table 2 on page 14, increased in 1993, due to
acquisitions of Ohio Bancorp (926 FTE) and at NPC (420 FTE).
Excluding the acquisitions, total FTE declined by 152 positions.
The remaining staff increases in mortgage servicing and item
processing were volume-related. The increase in corporate is
the result of centralizing back-office functions. This increase is
more than offset by elimination of these functions in each
individual bank.
The overhead ratio (noninterest expenses less fee income
as a percentage of fully taxable net interest income) was 44.34%
in 1993 compared with 48.93% in 1992 and 49.93% in 1991
(Chart 12).
The efficiency ratio (noninterest expense as a percentage
of fee income plus fully taxable net interest income) was 66.21%
in 1993, 68.22% in 1992, and 67.67% in 1991. The fee-based
businesses have lower gross margins than traditional banking,
and, therefore, growth in these businesses penalizes the
efficiency ratio as shown in Table 2. In contrast, strong fee
income benefits the overhead ratio.

The overhead ratio improved in 1993 for the second consecutive year. The
improvement was due to the benefits of the Corporation's cost redesign program, the
successful integration of acquisitions, and reduced expenses related to foreclosed
property.

INCOME TAXES
The consolidated income tax provision was $167.0 million
in 1993 compared with $117.4 million in 1992 and $77.4 million
in 1991. The effective tax rate of the Corporation was 29.2% in
1993, 25.3% in 1992, and 24.6% in 1991. The increase in the
effective rate was due to the higher Federal statutory rate and
lower levels of tax-exempt income in 1993.
In 1992, the Corporation adopted SFAS 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes". Net deferred tax assets at December 31,
1993 and 1992 were $64.7 million and $85.4 million,
respectively. SFAS 109 requires the Corporation to place a
valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets if it is "more
likely than not" that some portion of the deferred tax asset will
not be realized. Under the regulations provided in SFAS 109,
management found it unnecessary to place a valuation
allowance on its deferred tax assets.
The adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a significant
effect on net income in 1992. Tax expense for 1991 was not
restated.

The Corporation normally considers commercial loans and
securities to be nonperforming when payments are 90 or more
days past due, when credit terms are renegotiated below
market levels, or when individual analysis of a borrower's
creditworthiness indicates that a credit should be placed on
nonaccrual status. Generally, when loans are classified as
nonperforming, unpaid accrued interest is written off, and
future income may be recorded only as cash payments are
received.
Nonperforming assets declined in 1993 due to payoffs and
recoveries in nonaccrual commercial and real estate loans, as
well as the disposal of foreclosed real estate.
Although loans may be classified as nonperforming, many
continue to pay interest irregularly or at less than original
contractual rates. A summary of actual income booked on
nonperforming loans versus their full contractual yields for each
of the past five years follows:

</TABLE>
Net charge-offs as a percentage of loans declined 29 basis
points in 1993 from 1992 reflecting decreased commercial,
credit card and consumer charge-offs (Chart 14).
Both the provision and the allowance are based on an
analysis of individual credits, prior and current loss experience,
overall growth in the portfolio, current economic conditions, and
other factors. Consumer and credit card loans are charged off
within industry norms, while commercial loans are evaluated
individually. An allocation of the ending allowance for loan
losses by major loan type follows:

This allocation is made for analytical purposes. The total
allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the
portfolio. The changes in the allocated and unallocated
categories reflect credit quality that has improved at a rapid
rate. The 1993 provision for loan losses only slightly exceeded
net charge-offs for the year.

category to total loans at year-end:

The Corporation plans to adopt SFAS 114 "Accounting By
Creditors For Impairment of a Loan" on January 1, 1995.
Management does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact on financial position or results of operations.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The management of National City Corporation has prepared the accompanying
financial statements and is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
The statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and necessarily include amounts that are based on
management's best estimates and judgments. Management also prepared the other
information in the annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and
consistency with the financial statements.
National City Corporation maintains a system of internal control over
financial reporting designed to produce reliable financial statements. The
system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and compliance is tested and
evaluated through an extensive program of internal audits. Actions are taken
to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any internal control
system has inherent limitations, including the possibility that controls can be
circumvented or overridden. Further, because of changes in conditions,
internal control system effectiveness may vary over time.
The Audit Committee, consisting entirely of outside directors, meets
regularly with management, internal auditors and independent auditors, and
reviews audit plans and results as well as management's actions taken in
discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting and internal
controls. Ernst & Young, independent auditors, and the internal auditors have
direct and confidential access to the Audit Committee at all times to discuss
the results of their examinations.
National City Corporation assessed its internal control system as of
December 31, 1993 in relation to criteria for effective internal control over
financial reporting described in "Internal Control--Integrated Framework" issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 1993, its
system of internal control met those criteria.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of National City Corporation and all of
its subsidiaries. The Corporation's primary business is
banking.
ACQUISITIONS AND AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES:
Operations of companies acquired in purchase transactions
are included in the statements of income from the respective
dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over net
identifiable assets acquired (goodwill) is included in other
assets and is being amortized over varying remaining lives
not exceeding 30 years. Core deposit intangibles are
amortized on a straight-line basis over varying remaining
periods not exceeding 10 years. Purchased servicing contract
costs are deferred and amortized over the stream of servicing
income to be received.
CASH FLOWS: The Corporation has defined cash and
cash equivalents as those amounts included in the balance
sheet caption "Cash and demand balances due from banks."
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE: Mortgage loans
held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market, as
calculated on an aggregate loan basis.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for loan
losses and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses are
based upon a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio,
current economic conditions, prior loss experience, and other
pertinent factors.
SECURITIES AND TRADING ACCOUNT: As further
discussed in Note 4, the Corporation adopted SFAS 115
"Accounting For Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" on December 31, 1993. As required by SFAS 115,
management determines the appropriate classification of
debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date.
Trading account assets are held for resale in anticipation
of short-term market movements and are valued at fair value.
Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are included in
other income.
Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when
the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried
at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or
trading account and marketable equity securities not classified
as trading are classified as available for sale. Securities
available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported separately through retained
earnings, net of tax.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are
recorded as interest income from investments. Realized gains
and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). The
adjusted cost of specific securities sold is used to compute gain
or loss on sales.
Other income also includes gains and losses and
adjustments to market on interest rate futures and forward
contracts related to trading account assets and liabilities.
OTHER TIME DEPOSITS: Other time deposits include
time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and totaled
approximately $702,000,000 and $1,146,000,000, respectively,
at December 31, 1993 and 1992.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS: The
Corporation uses futures, forwards, and option contracts to
hedge assets and liabilities other than in the trading account.
Gains and losses on hedging transactions are deferred and
amortized as a yield adjustment over the remaining life of the
hedged asset or liability.
The Corporation enters into interest rate exchange
agreements ("swaps") to manage its interest rate sensitivity.
Gains and losses on offsetting transactions are deferred and
amortized as a yield adjustment over the remaining life of the
original swaps.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED: Expense of other real
estate owned includes the cost of operating foreclosed
properties, gain or loss on disposal of properties, and write-
downs of carrying value on foreclosed properties.
DEPRECIABLE ASSETS: Properties and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over their useful lives. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lives of the leases.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred,
while improvements which extend the useful life are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life. Upon the
sale or disposal of property, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting
gain or loss is included in current income.
INCOME: Interest and other income are recorded as
earned. Loans are classified as nonaccrual, reduced rate or
renegotiated based on management's judgment and
requirements established by bank regulatory agencies.
Subsequent receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded as a
reduction of principal, and interest income is only recorded
once principal recovery is reasonably assured. Loan
origination fees and other direct costs are amortized into
interest or other income using a method which approximates
the interest method over the estimated life of the related
loan.
INCOME TAXES: Deferred income taxes reflect the
temporary tax consequences on future years of differences
between the tax and financial statement basis of assets and
liabilities.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE: Foreign exchange positions are
valued at the prevailing rates of exchange and gains or losses
are included in other income.
TREASURY STOCK: Acquisitions of treasury stock are
recorded on the par value method, which requires the cash
paid to be allocated to common or preferred stock, surplus and
retained earnings.
RECLASSIFICATION: Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
STOCK SPLIT: On July 1, 1993, the Corporation's Board of
Directors authorized a two-for-one split of the common stock in
the form of a 100% stock dividend. Accordingly, common stock
and per share data have been restated to reflect the stock split.
<PAGE> 29
2. ACQUISITIONS
In February 1993, the Corporation acquired JBS
Associates, Inc. (JBS), a check authorization business, and
accounted for the acquisition as a purchase. JBS stockholders
received cash of $24.3 million and were issued approximately
1.5 million shares (adjusted for the stock split) of the
Corporation's common stock. A provision in the purchase
agreement guarantees the total value of the consideration
received by the JBS stockholders to be not less than
$56.6 million as of February 1, 1998. Total goodwill recorded
was $51.5 million and is being amortized over 20 years.
In October 1993, the Corporation acquired Ohio Bancorp,
a $1.6 billion assets bank holding company headquartered in
Youngstown, Ohio. Ohio Bancorp shareholders received
approximately $104 million in cash and were issued
approximately 4.3 million shares of the Corporation's common
stock, for a total transaction value of approximately
$215 million. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.
Total goodwill recorded was $65 million and is being amortized
over 20 years.
In May 1992, Merchants National Corporation (MCHN),
a $5.4 billion assets bank holding company located in
Indianapolis, Indiana, was merged into and became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Each share of MCHN
common stock outstanding on May 2, 1992, was converted into
2.24 shares (adjusted for the stock split) of the Corporation's
common stock. The Corporation issued approximately 34.2
million shares (adjusted for the stock split) of common stock
and cash in lieu of fractional shares for all of the outstanding
shares of MCHN. The acquisition was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.
3. LOANS
Total loans outstanding were recorded net of unearned
income of $85,685,000 in 1993 and $85,692,000 in 1992.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses follows:

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1993, nonaccrual, reduced-rate, and
renegotiated loans were $151,343,000, and other real estate
owned was $57,807,000. At December 31, 1992, the
corresponding amounts were $223,738,000 and $143,693,000,
respectively.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors For
Impairment of a Loan." The Corporation plans to adopt this
standard on January 1, 1995 and does not expect the adoption
to have a material impact on financial position or results of
operations.
4. SECURITIES
On December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted the
requirements of SFAS 115. The most significant impact of the
new accounting requirements is that unrealized holding gains
and losses on securities classified as available for sale are
recorded in stockholders' equity. Previously, these securities
were recorded at the lower of amortized cost or market, with
unrealized losses, if any, reported in earnings. The adoption did
not have a material effect on the results of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1993 and prior period financial
statements have not been restated. In accordance with
SFAS 115, stockholders' equity at December 31, 1993 was
increased $35.0 million (net of $18.8 million in deferred income
taxes) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on securities
classified as available for sale, previously carried at lower of

Mortgage-backed securities and other securities which
may have prepayment provisions are assigned to a maturity
category based on estimated average lives.
In 1993, 1992 and 1991, gross gains of $16.3 million,
$28.6 million, and $29.0 million and gross losses of
$4.4 million, $2.9 million, and $3.3 million were realized,
respectively. Proceeds from the sale of securities totaled
$2,595 million, $1,254 million, and $1,891 million in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.
At December 31, 1993, the carrying value of securities
pledged to secure public and trust deposits, trading account
liabilities, U.S. Treasury demand notes, and security
repurchase agreements totaled $2,462,449,000.
At December 31, 1993, there were no securities of a
single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury securities and other
U.S. government agencies, which exceeded 10% of stockholders'
equity.
5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value disclosures of financial instruments are made
to comply with the requirements of SFAS 107 "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Statements". The market value
of securities, as presented in Note 4, is based primarily upon
quoted market prices. For substantially all other financial
instruments, the fair values are management's estimates of the
values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a
transaction between willing parties. Fair values are based on
estimates using present value and other valuation techniques
in instances where quoted market prices are not available.
These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash
flows. As such, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and,
further, may not be realizable in an immediate settlement of
the instruments.
SFAS 107 also excludes certain items from its disclosure
requirements. These items include non-financial assets,
intangibles and future business growth, as well as certain
liabilities such as pension and other post-retirement benefits,
deferred compensation arrangements and leases. Accordingly,
the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent
the underlying value of the Corporation.
Portions of the unrealized gains and losses inherent in
the valuation are a result of management's program to manage
overall interest rate risk and represent a point-in-time
valuation. It is not management's intention to immediately
dispose of a significant portion of its financial instruments and,
thus, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted
as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.
The following table presents the estimates of fair value of
financial instruments at December 31, except for securities
which are disclosed in Note 4:

</TABLE>
<PAGE> 31
The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents
approximate those assets' fair values. For purposes of this
disclosure only, cash equivalents include Federal funds sold,
security resale agreements, Eurodollar time deposits,
customers' acceptance liability, accrued interest receivable, and
other short-term money market investments.
LOANS RECEIVABLE AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE: For
performing variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and
loans held for sale, estimated fair values are based on carrying
values. The fair values for loans are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
used to price new, similar loans to a schedule of aggregated
expected monthly maturities, adjusted for market and credit
risks.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair values disclosed for
demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking,
passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts)
are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at
the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying
amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts
and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the
reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit
are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that
applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to
a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time
deposits.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The carrying amounts of
Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase
agreements, commercial paper, and other short-term
borrowings approximate their fair values.
LONG-TERM DEBT: The fair values of the Corporation's
long-term borrowings (other than deposits) and certain other
borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses
based on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The amounts
shown under carrying value represent accruals or deferred
income (fees) arising from the related unrecognized financial
instruments. Fair values for the Corporation's off-balance
sheet instruments (futures, swaps, forwards, options,
guarantees, and lending commitments) are based on quoted
market prices (futures); current settlement values (financial
forwards); quoted market prices of comparable instruments;
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking
into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standing (guarantees, loan
commitments); or, if there are no relevant comparables, on
pricing models or formulas using current assumptions (interest
rate swaps and options).
6. CASH AND DEMAND BALANCES DUE FROM BANKS
The Corporation's subsidiary banks are required to
maintain noninterest bearing reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. The consolidated average amount of
those reserve balances was $317 million for 1993.
7. PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

On January 1, 1993, mergers of certain subsidiary
holding companies into the parent company occurred. For
comparative purposes, these obligations are reflected in the
parent company section of the preceding table for all periods
presented.
The 8 3/8% Notes pay interest semiannually and may not
be redeemed prior to maturity.
The $75 million Floating Rate Subordinated Notes bear
quarterly interest payments at a rate of 12.5 basis points over
the three-month Eurodollar deposit rate, subject to a floor of
5.25% (actual rate at December 31, 1993). The interest rate
on the $50 million Floating Rate Notes is 12.5 basis points over
the three-month Eurodollar deposit rate (3.50% at
December 31, 1993), adjusted quarterly. Both floating rate note
issues may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, in
whole or in part, at their principal amount.
The $5 million Floating Rate Notes pay interest
semiannually at an annual rate of 20 basis points over the six-
month Eurodollar deposit rate (3.70% at December 31, 1993).
The notes are redeemable at the option of the Corporation.
The 9 7/8% Subordinated Notes pay interest semiannually.
These notes are not redeemable prior to maturity.
The Medium-Term Notes are due at varying dates
through 1994 and carry interest rates ranging from 7.625% to
9.30% with semiannual payments of interest. These notes are
not redeemable.
In April 1993, the Corporation's Cleveland and Columbus
bank subsidiaries issued $125 million and $75 million,
respectively, of 6 1/2% subordinated notes. Interest on the notes
is payable semiannually. The notes are not redeemable prior to
their maturity in 2003. The notes qualify as tier 2 capital for
regulatory purposes.
A credit agreement with a group of banks allows the
Corporation to borrow up to $200 million until December 31,
1995, with a provision to extend the expiration date for one
year at each anniversary date, under certain circumstances.
The Corporation pays an annual facility fee of 1/4 percent on
the amount of the line. The agreement contains several
financial covenants, including a limitation on future dividends
and other distributions of $1,256,366,000 at December 31,
1993, plus 70% of future consolidated net income. There were
no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at
December 31, 1993.
Corporate long-term debt maturities for the next five
years are as follows: $13,535,000 in 1994; $225,000 in 1995;
$100,224,000 in 1996; $125,242,000 in 1997; and $1,960,000
in 1998.
10. PREFERRED STOCK AND EMPLOYEE STOCK
OWNERSHIP PLAN
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Corporation had
outstanding 793,240 and 800,000, respectively, shares of 8%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in the form of
3,966,200 and 4,000,000 depositary shares, respectively, at a
stated value of $50.00 per depositary share. Each depositary
share represents a one-fifth interest in a preferred share. The
preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into
2.384 common shares per depositary share. Accordingly,
9,455,420 shares of common stock have been reserved for
conversion of the preferred stock. The preferred stock is
redeemable at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in
part, on or after May 1, 1996 and for each 12-month period
thereafter through the year 2000, at redemption prices of
$52.00, $51.60, $51.20, $50.80 and $50.40, respectively, and
thereafter, at $50.00 per depositary share plus, in each case,
dividends accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. The
shares have a liquidation value of $250.00 per share ($50.00
per depositary share), or $198,310,000 in aggregate, plus
accrued and unpaid dividends to date of liquidation.
<PAGE> 33
As a consequence of the merger with MCHN, the
Corporation assumed the obligations and benefits of the
MCHN Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). On July 1,
1992, the ESOP was merged into the National City Savings
and Investment Plan (a contributory benefit plan offered for
substantially all employees). The original ESOP was
established through the purchase of stock on the open market
at a cost of $30,490,000. The funding was made available
through an agreement between MCHN and an independent
trustee whereby MCHN provided a loan to the ESOP Trust for
the purpose of acquiring the shares. The shares presently held
by the ESOP (totalling 2,194,401 of the Corporation's common
shares) will be used to fulfill the Corporation's future
commitment to participants in the Corporation's benefit plans.
During 1993, the Corporation allocated 576,901 shares to the
benefit plan participants. Company contributions plus
dividends earned on the unallocated shares are used to service
the loan and acquire additional shares, which are allocated to
benefit plan participants. Company contributions totaled
$8,181,022 and $5,639,171 in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Dividends earned by the ESOP in 1993 and 1992 were
$2,737,768 and $2,271,292, respectively. The tax benefit for
dividends paid on shares held by the ESOP is recorded directly
to retained earnings.
11. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is based upon net income
after preferred dividend requirements and the average number
of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect
of outstanding stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share
is based upon net income and the average number of shares
outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding
stock options and the assumed conversion of preferred stock.
The calculation of net income per common share,
adjusted for the two-for-one stock split, follows:

12. PARENT COMPANY AND REGULATORY
RESTRICTIONS
At December 31, 1993, retained earnings of the parent
company included $1,330.1 million of equity in undistributed
earnings of subsidiaries.
Dividends paid by the parent company's subsidiary banks
are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions. In
1993, subsidiary banks declared and paid $699.6 million and
$543.4 million, respectively, in dividends to the parent
company. In 1994, bank subsidiaries may pay the parent
company, without prior regulatory approval, approximately
$96.0 million of dividends.
Under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, as
amended, loans from subsidiary banks to nonbank affiliates,
including the parent company, are required to be
collateralized.
Commercial paper of $398.8 million outstanding at
December 31, 1993 is guaranteed by the parent company.
Condensed parent company-only financial statements,
which include transactions with subsidiaries, follow:

13. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS
The Corporation was authorized in 1993 to grant
10,000,000 shares of common stock (adjusted for the stock
split) under a stock option plan. The Corporation's stock option
plans authorize the issuance of options to purchase common
stock to officers and key employees at the market price of the
shares at the date of grant. Options become exercisable to the
extent of either 25% or 50% annually beginning one year from
the date of grant.
The Corporation was authorized in 1991 to grant
1,000,000 shares of common stock (adjusted for the stock split)
under a Restricted Stock Plan. These shares are issued to
officers and directors of the Corporation. In general, the
restrictions on directors' shares granted after 1992 expire after
nine months and grants to officers expire over a four-year
period. The Corporation generally recognizes additional
compensation expense over the restricted period.
A summary of the stock options and award activity is as

respectively.
14. PENSION PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory, defined benefit
retirement plan covering substantially all employees.
Retirement benefits are based upon the employees' length of
service and salary levels. Actuarially determined pension costs
are charged to current operations. The funding policy is to pay
at least the minimum amount required by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Corporation also
sponsors supplemental retirement plans for certain key
employees.
The defined benefit pension plan's funded status (at its
year-end September 30) and the status of the supplemental
retirement plans follow:

The Corporation also sponsors a defined contribution
plan for substantially all employees. The Corporation may
make contributions to the plan in varying amounts depending
on the level of employee contributions. For the years ended
1993, 1992, and 1991, the expenses related to this plan were
$8,347,000, $3,275,000, and $11,891,000, respectively.
15. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a benefit plan which provides
postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to all
employees who have attained the age of 55 and have at least
10 years of service (five years of service if age 65 or older.) The
medical portion is contributory and the life insurance coverage
<PAGE> 36
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
is noncontributory to the participants. For any employee who
retired on or after April 1, 1989, the Corporation's medical
contribution is fixed, based on years of service and age at
retirement. The accounting for the medical portion anticipates
contributions for retirees prior to April 1, 1989, to continue to
increase as a proportion of the total costs of the plan. The
Corporation reserves the right to terminate or make plan
changes at any time.
The Corporation has no plan assets attributable to the
postretirement benefit plan. The following table presents the
plan's status at December 31, reconciled with amounts
recognized in the Corporation's balance sheet:

</TABLE>
The health care trend rate assumption only affects those
participants retired under the plan prior to April 1, 1989. The
1994 health care trend rate is projected to be 12.5 percent for
participants under 65 and 10.0 percent for participants over
65. These rates are assumed to decrease incrementally by .5
percent per year until they reach 6 percent and remain at that
level thereafter. The health care trend rate assumption does
not have a significant effect on the medical plan, therefore, a
1 percent change in the trend rate is not material in the
determination of the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation or the ongoing expense.
The Corporation will adopt SFAS 112, "Employers
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," in 1994. The
adoption will not have a material impact on the Corporation's
financial position or results of operations.
16. INCOME TAXES
In 1992, the Corporation adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109
did not have a significant effect on net income in 1992. Income
tax expense for 1991 was not restated.
The composition of income tax expense (benefit) follows:

</TABLE>
The Corporation utilizes off-balance sheet financial
instruments to manage exposure to changes in interest rates.
Market risk is managed to minimize exposure to interest rate
changes through the monitoring of cash flows of on- and off-
balance sheet financial instruments. Counterparty credit risk
related to off-balance sheet instruments is managed by
applying the same business and credit standards that are used
for on-balance sheet transactions. There are no concentrations
of credit risk. The Corporation may require collateral for
certain of these instruments. The Corporation has never
experienced, nor does it have any reason to expect, a credit loss
associated with any off-balance sheet financial agreement.
18. CREDIT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, the Corporation makes
various commitments to extend credit and incurs contingent
liabilities which are not reflected in the balance sheet. A
summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
December 31
---------------------
(In Millions) 1993 1992

<S> <C> <C>
Commitments to extend credit $6,567.4 $5,634.6
standby letters of credit 1,242.3 1,309.2
</TABLE>
The credit risk associated with loan commitments and
standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to the
Corporation's normal credit policies. Collateral is obtained
based on management's credit assessment of the customer.
In addition, the Corporation's subsidiaries are involved in
legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. In
management's opinion, the financial statements would not be
materially by the outcome of any legal proceedings or
commitments and contingent liabilities.

(UNAUDITED)
Quarterly financial information is contained on page 36.
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Stockholders
National City Corporation
Cleveland, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of National City Corporation 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 Corporation's 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 consolidated
financial position of National City Corporation and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
consolidated 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.

QUARTERLY DATA
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income for the fourth quarter of 1993 was $103.5
million, or $.62 per common share, compared with $90.1
million, or $.54 per share, for the same period last year.
The increase in earnings was due predominantly to
higher net interest income and fee income.
Annualized return on average common equity for the
fourth quarter was 15.74%, compared with 15.23% for the
fourth quarter 1992. Annualized return on average assets was
1.35% in 1993 versus 1.25% in 1992.
Average earning assets and average deposits for the
quarter increased 5.6% and 3.5%, respectively, from the fourth
quarter last year, primarily due to the acquisition of Ohio
Bancorp.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
the quarter was $315.7 million, which reflects a 4.5% increase
over $302.1 million for the same period last year.
Fees and other income increased 15.8% to $214.3 million
over the prior year fourth quarter due mainly to higher item
processing revenue that was the result of acquisitions.
Noninterest expenses increased slightly to $359.5 million,
compared to $344.3 million a year ago. The net increase was
due entirely to 1993 acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions,
noninterest expenses declined by 4%.

BUSINESS
At December 31, 1993, National City Corporation
("National City" or "the Corporation") was the second
largest bank holding company headquartered in the State of
Ohio and approximately the 26th largest in the United
States on the basis of total assets. National City owns and
operates 19 commercial banks having a total of 617 banking
offices in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The four largest such
subsidiary banks (and only significant subsidiaries) are
National City Bank (Cleveland), National City Bank,
Columbus; National City Bank, Indiana; and National City
Bank, Kentucky. The banks and other subsidiaries and
divisions (listed on pages 41 and 42) conduct a variety of
financial services businesses. In addition to a general
commercial banking business, National City or its
subsidiaries are engaged in trust, mortgage banking,
merchant banking, leasing, item processing, venture capital,
insurance, and other financially related businesses.
National City and its subsidiaries had 19,960 full-time
equivalent employees at December 31, 1993.
COMPETITION
The banking business is highly competitive. The banking
subsidiaries of National City compete actively with national
and state banks, savings and loan associations, securities
dealers, mortgage bankers, finance companies, insurance
companies and other financial service entities.
<PAGE> 41
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
National City is subject to regulation under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The
Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
for a bank holding company to acquire or hold more than a
5% voting interest in any bank, and restricts interstate
banking activities.
The Act restricts National City's nonbanking activities to
those which are determined by the Federal Reserve Board to
be closely related to banking. The Act does not place
territorial restrictions on the activities of nonbank
subsidiaries of bank holding companies. National City's
banking subsidiaries are subject to limitations with respect
to intercompany loans and investments.
A substantial portion of National City's cash revenues is
derived from dividends paid by its subsidiary banks. These
dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory
restrictions as summarized in Note 12 on page 31.
The subsidiary banks are subject to the provisions of the
National Bank Act or the banking laws of their respective
states, are under the supervision of, and are subject to
periodic examination by, the Comptroller of the Currency or
the respective state banking department, and are subject to
the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
National City's subsidiary banks are also subject to
certain state laws of each state in which such a bank is
located. Such state laws may restrict branching of banks
within the state and acquisition or merger involving banks
and bank holding companies located in other states. Ohio,
Kentucky and Indiana have all adopted nationwide
reciprocal interstate banking.
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. Regulations have been proposed
to implement this Act, but the full effects of the FDIC
Improvement Act generally on the financial services
industry, and specifically on the Corporation, cannot now be
measured.
The monetary policies of regulatory authorities, including
the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the
operating results of banks and bank holding companies. The
nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such
policies on the future business and earnings of National City
and its subsidiary banks cannot be predicted.
PROPERTIES
National City and its significant subsidiaries occupy their
headquarters' offices under long-term leases, and also own
freestanding operations centers in Columbus and Cleveland.
Branch office locations are variously owned or leased.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
National City and its subsidiaries are parties (either as
plaintiff or defendant) to a number of lawsuits incidental to
their businesses and, in certain lawsuits, claims or
counterclaims have been asserted. Although litigation is
subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure
with respect to many of these matters cannot be
ascertained, management does not believe the ultimate
outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Corporation.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

January 21, 1994) are as follows:
