                              CITFED BANCORP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         For the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
                                  (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The foregoing consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and
1996 are unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated financial statements have been included.  Results for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
year.  The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
CitFed Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation"), its subsidiary, Citizens Federal
Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank" or "Citizens Federal") and the Bank's subsidiaries.

2.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         At December 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding commitments to
originate and purchase loans aggregating approximately $64.8 million.  The
commitments extend over varying periods of time with the majority being
disbursed within thirty days.  Loan commitments with interest rates established
with the borrower amounted to $58.3 million; the remainder are at floating
rates.  The Bank had outstanding mandatory and optional forward commitments to
sell loans and mortgage-backed securities of $118.6 million at December 31,
1997.

         The Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain
lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management, after review
with its legal counsel, is of the opinion that the resolution of these legal
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial
position or results of operations.

4.       EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

         Earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996 are divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are divided by the weighted
average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during
the period.  Average common shares outstanding for the three month period ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 12,994,041 and 12,875,932, respectively.
Average common and common stock equivalents outstanding for the three month
period ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 13,439,711 and 13,349,104,
respectively.  Average common shares outstanding for the nine month period
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 12,969,298 and 12,836,902, respectively.
Average common and common stock equivalents outstanding for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were 13,432,690 and 13,338,083,
respectively.  Stock options are considered common share equivalents.

5.       DIVIDEND

         On October 17, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a three-for two
stock split in the form of a stock dividend, which was distributed on November
28, 1997, to shareholders of record on November 14, 1997.  Par value will
remain at $0.01 per share.  All references to the number of shares and per
share amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock dividend.
The Board of Directors also declared on January 23, 1998, a quarterly dividend
of $0.09 per share payable February 27, 1998 to stockholders of record on
February 13, 1998.  The total amount of the dividend will be approximately
$1,170,000.

6.       CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

         In December 1997, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 provides computation, presentation, and
disclosure requirements for earnings per share.  The previous presentation of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share has been replaced with basic and
diluted earnings per share.  The Statement is effective for financial
statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997,
and earlier application was not permitted.  Although basic earnings per share
under SFAS 128 excludes dilutive securities, management believes that the new
basic earnings per share is not significantly different from primary earnings
per share, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted earnings per share, as required by SFAS 128, has not materially changed
from the previous fully diluted earnings per share presentation.

         In connection with SFAS 128, and FASB also issued SFAS No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129").  While SFAS
128 applies only to public companies, SFAS 129 is applicable to both public and
nonpublic companies.  This statement is not expected to have a material impact
on disclosures currently made by the Corporation.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which will require disclosure in the financial statements of all the
changes in equity during a period from





                                                                         Page 6 
<PAGE>   9





transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  Items
included in comprehensive income will include separate classification of items
based upon their nature.  The Statement requires that comparative information
for prior years to be restated.  SFAS No.  130 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The disclosure
impact on the Corporation's financial statements has not yet been determined.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which will require new
segment information in public companies' annual financial statements.
Additionally, selected information will be required in interim financial
statements.  The Statement requires that comparative information for prior
years be restated.  SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The disclosure impact on the
Corporation's financial statements has not yet been determined.

7.       PENDING MERGER

         On January 14, 1998, CitFed Bancorp announced that it had entered into
a merger agreement with Fifth Third Bancorp.  The transaction will be a
tax-free stock-for-stock exchange of .67 shares of Fifth Third common stock for
each outstanding share of CitFed Bancorp.  Pending regulatory and stockholder
approval, the acquisition is expected to be completed in the second calendar
quarter of 1998.


8.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified for
comparative purposes to conform with the current year's presentation.

         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

including, changes in economic conditions in the Corporation's market area,
changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates,
demand for loans in the Corporation's market area and competition, that could
cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those
presently anticipated or projected.  The Corporation wishes to caution readers
not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date made.  The Corporation wishes to advise readers that the
factors listed above could affect the Corporation's financial performance and
could cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods to differ
materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future
periods in any current statements.

         The Corporation does not undertake -- and specifically disclaims any
obligation -- to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made
to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or

         Citizens Federal's results of operations depend primarily upon the
level of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income earned on its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and
the costs of the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and
borrowings.  Results of operations are also dependent upon the level of the
Bank's non-interest income, including fee income and service charges, and
affected by the level of its non-interest expenses, including its provision for
loan losses and general administrative expenses.  Net interest income depends
upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the interest rate earned or paid on them, respectively.

         Net Income:   For the three months ended December 31, 1997, the
Corporation had net income of $7.4 million compared to $5.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 28.6%

         Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was $21.1
million compared to $16.1 million, before the SAIF assessment, an increase of
30.8%.  After giving effect to the special SAIF assessment, the Corporation
reported net income of $8.9 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1996.

         Interest Income:   Total interest income increased $9.5 million, or
19.4% from $48.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to $58.2 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Of this increase, $9.9 million resulted
from an increase of $533.5 million in the average balance of interest-earning
assets, primarily loans receivable.  The offsetting $464,000 decrease resulted
from a 5 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on interest-earning
assets.

         Total interest income increased $25.0 million, or 17.8% from $140.5
million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, to $165.5 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997.  The increase in total interest income was
primarily due to a $457.8 million increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets.




                                                                        Page 8

         Management decided, throughout fiscal 1997 and 1998, to grow the
Bank's assets by increasing its permanent portfolio of consumer and one- to
four-family loans held for investment.  As a result, the average balance of
loans increased $373.7 million from December 1996 to December 1997.  In
addition, the Bank securitized $461.5 million one- to four-family loans at the
end of December 1997 for additional borrowing capacity.  This transaction
combined with purchases during this same period have resulted in an increase in
the average balance of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities of
$51.5 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

         Interest Expense:   Total interest expense increased $8.2 million, or
25.9% from $31.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to $39.9 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Of this increase, $6.8 million was the
result of an increase of $520.0 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities.  The remaining $1.4 million increase related to a
23 basis point increase in the cost of funds.

         Total interest expense increased $21.3 million, or 23.4% from $90.8
million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, to $112.1 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997.  Of this increase $18.3 million was the
result of a $437.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities.  The remaining $3.0 million increase related to a 24 basis point
increase in the cost of funds.

         The Bank's average deposits increased $178.7 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the same period a year ago,
primarily due to a $180.7 million increase in retail certificates of deposit
and demand deposits partially offset by an $11.3 million decline in savings and
money market deposits.  In addition, FHLB advances and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase increased $155.5 million and $104.7 million,
respectively.  These increases were necessary to fund the asset growth planned
by management and rates on these liabilities exceeded the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities.

         Rate/Volume Analysis.   The following table presents the dollar amount
of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  For each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is
provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate
multiplied by old volume) and (ii) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume
multiplied by old rate).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to
both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated
proportionately to the change due to rate and the change due to volume.

         Net Interest Margin.   The following table presents, for the periods
indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average
interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest
expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resultant rates and
the net interest margin.  No tax equivalent adjustments have been made.  All
average balances are daily average balances.

         The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities increased to 102.7% for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to 102.4% for the same period last year.  The
weighted average interest rate decreased for interest-earning assets and
increased for interest-bearing liabilities, resulting in a decreased interest
spread.

         Provision for Loan Losses.   The Bank's provision for loan losses was
$2.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, compared to a
provision of $2.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.  Both
provisions reflect the Bank's continuing evaluation of its loan portfolio, the
growth of the portfolio, and the effect thereon from general economic
conditions.  Management's estimate of the adequacy of its general allowances
for loan losses is based upon an analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio
including such factors as prior loan loss experiences, economic conditions
affecting the real estate market, regulatory considerations and other matters.

       The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for
loan losses at the dates indicated.

</TABLE>


         The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans decreased to 184.6%
at December 31, 1997, compared to 204.3% for the same period one year ago
primarily because of the increase in non-performing loans from $7.7 million to
$9.8 million.  This increase has been directly attributable to the increased
loan volume during this current fiscal year.  In addition, net consumer
charge-offs





                                                                        Page 12 

<PAGE>   15




for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 were $1.0 million, compared to
$324,000 for the same period one year ago.  This increase is a result of the
increased growth in the auto lease portfolio which totaled $76.0 million at
December 31, 1997 compared to $34.1 million at December 31, 1996.  Management
believes that the relationship of the allowance to total loans and to
non-performing loans is adequate based on all information currently available.
See "Asset Quality."

         Non-Interest Income:   Non-interest income for the three months ended
December 31, 1997, totaled $8.9 million as compared to $7.5 million for the
same period a year ago, an increase of $1.4 million, or 19.2%.  Non-interest
income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, totaled $25.7 million as
compared to $21.5 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $4.2
million, or 19.6%.

         Consumer banking fees and charges increased 25.3% to $4.4 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1997, up from $3.5 million for the same
period last year.  This increase continued to reflect the benefits of increases
in the number of checking accounts and fees associated with these accounts as
well as increased fees associated with consumer and commercial loan activities.
Consumer banking fees and charges increased 30.3% to $12.5 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, up from $9.6 million for the same period last
year.

         Trust and investment services fee income for the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 increased to $854,000 compared to $805,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997, an increase of 6.1%.  Administered trust assets increased to
$448.8 million at December 31, 1997, compared with $429.7 million at December
31, 1996.  Trust and investment service fee income for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997, declined 3.3% to $2.5 million from $2.6 million for the same
period a year ago.   The decline in fee income primarily resulted from fewer
sales of mutual funds and insurance products sold through the Bank's retail
branches by CitFed Investment Group.

         Mortgage banking fee income increased by 13.2% in the third quarter to
$3.1 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period a year ago.  This
increase was due to increases in the Mortgage Company's mortgage loan servicing
portfolio which was $6.3 billion at December 31, 1997, with $4.7 billion of
mortgage loans being serviced for other investors, compared to $4.5 billion at
December 31, 1996, with $3.0 billion of mortgage loans being serviced for other
investors.  The growth in the mortgage servicing portfolio was a result of an
$840.0 million bulk purchase of mortgage servicing rights in June 1997 combined
with increased loan activity during the previous 12 months.  Mortgage loan
closings totaled $448.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
compared to $149.6 million for the quarter ended December 30, 1996, an increase
of 200%.

         Non-Interest Expenses:   Non-interest expenses for the three months
ended December 31, 1997,  were $15.7 million, as compared to $15.0 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of 4.61%.  Non-interest
expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 were $45.7 million
compared to $45.2 million without the one-time SAIF recapitalization charge of
$10.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.  These increases
were primarily a result of the Bank opening two new retail branches and the
Mortgage Company opening one new lending branch during this fiscal year.

                              
         Income Tax Provision.    The Bank's income tax provision for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, was 31.1%, compared to 32.9% for the nine
months ended December 31, 1996.

       The $225,000 increase in non-performing assets from March 31, 1997 to
December 31, 1997, was the result of several factors.  Non-accruing one-to
four-family mortgage loans increased $1.6 million during the period.
Eighty-nine loans totaling $6.3 million were placed on non-accrual status, 12
loans totaling $1.5 million were transferred to foreclosed assets, 30 loans
totaling $1.6 million were returned to accruing status and 20 loans totaling
$1.6 million were paid off.

       Non-accruing multi-family and commercial real estate loans increased
$1.2 million for the period.   Nine loans for $2.3 million were added to
non-accrual status, two loans totaling $205,000 were paid in full and six loans
for $868,000 were returned to accruing status.

       Foreclosed assets decreased $2.7 million for the period.  Fourteen
residential properties totaling $1.7 million (net of $34,000 in loss reserves)
were added, and eighteen properties totaling $2.2 million were sold.
Residential construction costs of $656,000 were incurred during the nine
months.  Seven commercial properties totaling $3.0 million were sold.  The
reserve for foreclosed assets decreased by $173,000 from a provision of
$192,000, offset by net charge-offs of $365,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


LIQUIDITY--The Corporation conducts its business through its subsidiary,
Citizens Federal and Citizens Federal's subsidiaries.  The main source of funds
for the Corporation are dividends from the Bank.  The Bank meets the OTS
regulatory capital requirements that would allow the Bank to declare and pay
capital distributions to the Corporation.  The Corporation is not subject to
any OTS regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its
stockholders.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation declared on January
23, 1998, a cash dividend on its common stock of nine cents ($0.09) per share.
The cash dividend will be paid on February 27, 1998 to stockholders of record
on February 13, 1998.

         The Bank's principal sources of funds include deposits, advances from
the FHLB, reverse repurchase agreements, repayments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities, proceeds from
the sale of loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities available for
sale, funds provided by operations and capital invested by the Corporation.
Investment maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed
securities are generally a predictable source of funds.  Deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are influenced by the general level of interest rates,
economic conditions, competition and the restructuring of the thrift industry.
Management also considers the Corporation's interest sensitivity "gap" when
considering alternative sources of funds.  The one year interest rate
sensitivity "gap" is the difference between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year.  The
Corporation mitigates its exposure to interest rate risk by striving to
maintain a neutral "gap" between the maturities of its interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.  Although this strategy can result in
narrower net interest margins, it also results in a more stabilized net
interest margin in periods of either rising or falling interest rates.  At
December 31, 1997, the Corporation's one-year gap was a  positive 1.85%.

         The cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap reflects the
Corporation's sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.  It is a static
indicator, and does not attempt to predict the net interest income of a dynamic
business in a rapidly changing environment.  Significant adjustments are made
when the interest rate outlook changes.  Generally, the Corporation's positive
one-year gap would mean that 1.85% of the Corporation's assets will reprice
within one year without a corresponding repricing of the liabilities funding
them.

         The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement, which may vary at the discretion
of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon
a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings.  The required ratio is
currently 4.0%.  While the Bank's liquidity ratio varies from time to time, it
has generally maintained liquid assets substantially in excess of the minimum
requirement.  The Bank's liquid asset ratio was 13.09% at December 31, 1997.





                                                                        Page  15

<PAGE>   18




         Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of
management.  The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) the projected amount
of loans to be originated by the mortgage banking subsidiary and held for
re-sale, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on
interest-earning deposits, and (v) the objective of its asset/liability
management program.  Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning
overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations.  If
Citizens Federal requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally,
the Bank has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral
eligible for reverse repurchase agreements.

         The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
meet current loan commitments.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank had commitments
to purchase from CitFed Mortgage loans totaling $36.5 million.  CitFed Mortgage
had commitments to fund loans of $64.8 million and to sell loans of $118.6
million.


CAPITAL--Savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation are required to meet three regulatory capital requirements.  If a
requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative
actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases,
seizure.  Institutions not in compliance may apply for an exemption from the
requirements and submit a recapitalization plan.  The following table
demonstrates the Bank's compliance with each of these requirements as of
December 31, 1997:

         Minimum capital requirements, as required by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, to determine whether an
institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized became effective
December 19, 1992.  Well capitalized institutions are defined as having core
capital of at least 5.0%, core capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6%
and risk-based capital of at least 10.0%.  The Bank's ratios at December 31,
1997 were 5.70%, 12.23% and 13.36%, respectively.  As a result, the Bank meets
the capital requirements of a well capitalized institution.


PENDING MERGER

         On January 14, 1998, CitFed Bancorp announced that it had entered into
a merger agreement with Fifth Third Bancorp.  The transaction will be a
tax-free stock-for-stock exchange of .67 shares of Fifth Third common stock for
each outstanding share of CitFed Bancorp.  Pending regulatory and stockholder
approval, the acquisition is expected to be completed in the second calendar
quarter of 1998.

                 In August 1995, the Corporation filed suit against the United
                 States Government for reneging on contracts with the Bank
                 regarding the treatment of supervisory goodwill as capital.
                 Although, the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided for the
                 plaintiff in three pending supervisory goodwill cases
                 involving other entities it is uncertain as to how
                 this will affect the Corporation's claim.
