INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees and Participants of the
  Savings and Investment 401(k) Plan of
  Citizens Federal Bank, F.S.B. and Related Companies:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Savings and
Investment 401(k) Plan of Citizens Federal Bank, F.S.B. and Related Companies
("Plan") as of August 31, 1997 and 1996 and for each of the three years in the
period ended August 31, 1997, listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of August 31,
1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of
the three years in the period ended August 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund for
each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1997 present information
regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental information is
the responsibility of the Plan's management. The accompanying supplemental
schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Such supplemental information by fund and the
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT 401(k) PLAN OF
CITIZENS FEDERAL BANK, F.S.B. AND RELATED COMPANIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The following brief description of the Savings and Investment 401(k) Plan
      ("the Plan") of Citizens Federal Bank, F.S.B. and Related Companies ("the
      Bank"), provides only general information. Participants should refer to
      the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
      provisions.

      GENERAL - The Plan is a defined-contribution savings plan in which
      participation is voluntary. Employees who have completed one year of
      service with the Bank as of the Plan's entry dates (September 1 and March
      1) are eligible to participate. Effective September 1, 1997, the Plan was
      amended to allow quarterly entry dates. The Plan is administered by a
      Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Plan is
      subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

      CONTRIBUTIONS - Subject to certain limitations, participating employees
      may contribute from 1% to 8% of their eligible compensation. The Bank
      contributes 55% of the first 4% of each participant's contributions,
      excluding certain executives. The Bank may also contribute a percentage of
      its net income at the discretion of its Board of Directors.

      INVESTMENT FUNDS - As of September 1, 1996, the Plan added investment
      options available to participants and also changed the specific investment
      choices available to participants. Participants may choose to invest in:

            Money Market Fund - This fund seeks to provide current income
            through investments in a portfolio of short-term, money market
            instruments.

            Bond Fund - This fund seeks to preserve capital and provide a
            moderate level of income by investing in short and intermediate term
            securities.

            Balanced Fund - This fund invests in a combination of stocks and
            bonds. Its objective is to provide balanced growth and income.

            Growth Fund - This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital
            through a diversified domestic equity strategy.

            Aggressive Growth Fund - This fund seeks long-term capital
            appreciation through investments in companies that are in an early
            stage of growth or that offer opportunities created by short-term
            industry or market conditions.

            International Fund - This fund seeks long-term capital appreciation
            through investments in equity securities of companies domiciled
            outside of the United States.

            Stock Fund - This fund is invested in the common stock of CitFed
            Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Citizens Federal Bank.

            Loan Fund - This fund accounts for loans to plan participants.


                                     -7-
<PAGE>   12



      PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS - Participants may choose to have contributions
      invested in the various investment funds in multiples of 10%. Elective
      contributions of the Bank are allocated annually based on eligible
      compensation of participants and bank contributions are invested based on
      the same allocation as participant contributions.

      VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS - Employee contributions are fully vested at all
      times and not subject to forfeiture. Bank contributions are fully vested
      after six years of participation in the Plan, or upon death, retirement
      (after age 55) or disability. If employment is terminated before
      retirement for any reason other than death or disability, the employee's
      elective contributions and the vested portion of the Bank's contributions
      are paid. Subject to certain restrictions, participants may withdraw all
      or part of the vested portion of their accounts without terminating
      employment.

      PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
      Bank has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
      time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If
      terminated, participant accounts become fully vested and are distributable
      at the direction of the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the
      Plan (see Note E).

      ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Administrative expenses of the Plan for the
      years ended August 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were paid by the Bank.

B.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
      those estimates.

      INVESTMENTS - Investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted
      prices. The net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments is
      included in the change in net assets.

      PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.

C.    INVESTMENTS

      Investments at fair value exceeding five percent of the net assets of the
      plan at August 31, 1997 and 1996 were:

D.    TAX STATUS

      The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on March 2, 1992, in
      which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
      was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
      Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
      However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently
      designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for
      income taxes is included in the Plan's financial statements.

E.    DISTRIBUTIONS

      As of August 31, 1997, amounts allocated to participants who had elected
      to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid totaled $9,604. As of
      August 31, 1996, amounts allocated to participants who had elected to
      withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid totaled $90,117.

E.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      In January, 1998, CitFed Bancorp, Inc. (parent of Plan sponsor) announced
      a proposed merger with Fifth Third Bancorp. The transaction is subject to
      regulatory and shareholder approval. Plan management does not know what
      impact, if any, the pending merger will have on the Plan.
