                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                            1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of
KeyCorp and its subsidiaries ("Key"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature and disclosures which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented, and should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in Key's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. In addition,
certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with
the current year presentation. In the third quarter of 1997, a $50 million
charge was recorded in connection with actions taken to sell certain properties
or to alter certain leasing arrangements in response to Key's nationwide
banking and related centralization efforts. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to
be expected for the full year.
               
On January 1, 1997, Key adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extingushments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 requires that certain assets
which are subject to prepayment and recorded in connection with a securitization
be accounted for like investments in interest-only strips. Accordingly, Key
reclassified approximately $280 million of these assets, which represent
uncertificated residual interests in securitizations, to securities available
for sale. At the time of the transfer, the carrying amount of these assets
exceeded their fair value by approximately $68 million. This difference was
recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the transferred assets and the
related after tax adjustment of $43 million was made to net unrealized losses on
securities in shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 125 is more fully discussed in Note
1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of Key's 1996 Annual Report.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held
common stock or common stock equivalents. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation
of primary earnings per share with the presentation of basic earnings per share.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on
the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic earnings per share computation to the corresponding amounts of the diluted
earnings per share computation. SFAS No. 128 is effective for both interim and
annual financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
with earlier adoption prohibited. Key will adopt SFAS No. 128 in its December
31, 1997, financial statements, with no effect on prior period data.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes reporting and display standards for
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of
a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances arising from nonowner sources. The purpose of the statement is to
provide a basis for reporting a measure of all changes in equity of an
enterprise that will result from recognized transactions and other economic
events of the period other than transactions with owners in their capacity as
owners. SFAS No. 130 is effective for both interim and annual financial
statements issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997, and also
applies to financial statements presented for prior periods. SFAS No. 131
requires that financial and descriptive information be disclosed for each
reportable operating segment based on the management approach. The management
approach focuses on financial information that an enterprise's decision makers
use to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. The
statement also prescribes the enterprise-wide disclosures to be made about
products, services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for annual financial statements issued for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997, and for interim financial statements in the second year of
application. Comparative information presented for earlier periods must be
restated. Key will adopt SFAS No. 130 in its March 31, 1998, financial
statements and expects to include the disclosures required by SFAS No. 131 in
its December 31, 1998, financial statements.

</TABLE>


CHAMPION MORTGAGE CO., INC.
On August 29, 1997, Key acquired Champion Mortgage Co., Inc. ("Champion"), a
home equity finance company headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey. Under the
terms of the merger agreement, 3,336,118 Common Shares, with a value of
approximately $200 million, were exchanged for all of the outstanding shares of
Champion common stock in a transaction structured as a tax-free exchange and
accounted for as a purchase. The merger agreement also provides an opportunity
for Champion's shareholders to receive additional consideration in the form of
Key Common Shares valued at up to $100 million in the event that certain
performance targets related to significant increases in profitability and
origination volumes established at the date of closing are achieved over the
next three years. In connection with the transaction, Key recorded goodwill of
approximately $195 million, which is being amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of 25 years. At closing, Champion became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Key Bank USA, National Association ("KeyBank USA"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the parent company.

LEASETEC CORPORATION
On July 1, 1997, Key acquired an 80% interest (with an option to purchase the
remaining 20%) in Leasetec Corporation ("Leasetec"), a privately held equipment
leasing company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado with operations in the United
States and overseas. In connection with the transaction, which was accounted for
as a purchase, Key recorded goodwill of approximately $126 million, which is
being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 25 years.

COMPLETED DIVESTITURES

KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (WYOMING)
On July 14, 1997, Key sold KeyBank National Association (Wyoming) ("KeyBank
Wyoming"), its 28 branch Wyoming bank subsidiary. KeyBank Wyoming had assets of
approximately $1.1 billion at the time of the transaction. A $53 million ($35
million after tax) gain was realized on the KeyBank Wyoming sale and included in
other income on the income statement.

SOCIETY FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK
On June 1, 1996, Key sold Society First Federal Savings Bank ("SFF"), its
Florida savings association subsidiary. SFF had assets of approximately $1.2
billion at the time of the transaction. Key continues to provide private banking
services in Florida through KeyBank National Association. An $8 million ($5
million after tax) gain was realized on the SFF sale and included in other
income on the income statement.

TRANSACTIONS PENDING AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

BRANCH DIVESTITURES
On November 26, 1996, Key announced its intention to divest approximately 140
branch offices (including the 28 branches associated with the sale of KeyBank
Wyoming). During the first nine months of 1997, including the KeyBank Wyoming
transaction, 49 such branches with deposits of approximately $1.3 billion were
sold resulting in aggregate gains of $89 million ($58 million after tax) which
were recorded in other income on the income statement. As of October 31, 1997,
contracts had been entered into to sell a total of 68 other branch offices with
deposits of approximately $1.1 billion. The sales of these remaining branches
are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first half of 1998.

                        3. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Debt securities that Key has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity
are classified as securities held to maturity and are carried at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the level yield
method. Securities held to maturity and equity securities that do not have
readily determinable fair values are presented as investment securities on the
balance sheet. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally
for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
account assets, reported at fair value ($567 million and $101 million as of
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively) and included in short-term
investments on the balance sheet. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on
such assets are reported in other income on the income statement. Debt and
equity securities that Key has not classified as investment securities or
trading account assets are classified as securities available for sale and, as
such, are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of
deferred taxes, reported as a component of shareholders' equity.

At September 30, 1997, shareholders' equity was increased by $8 million,
representing the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of
deferred tax expense.

                            4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses and approximate fair values of
investment securities were as follows:

                6. IMPAIRED LOANS AND OTHER NONPERFORMING ASSETS

At September 30, 1997, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $184
million. Included in this amount is $84 million of impaired loans for which the
specifically allocated allowance for loan losses is $21 million, and $100
million of impaired loans which are carried at their estimated fair value
without a specifically allocated allowance for loan losses. At the end of 1996,
the recorded investment in impaired loans was $209 million, of which $81 million
had a specifically allocated allowance of $26 million and $128 million were
carried at their estimated fair value. The average recorded investment in
impaired loans for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996 was $186 million and $175
million, respectively.

Nonperforming assets were as follows:

Key considers all nonaccrual loans to be impaired loans, except for
smaller-balance, homogeneous nonaccrual loans (shown in the preceding table as
"Other nonaccrual loans") excluded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." A loan is not deemed
impaired during a period of delay in payment of less than 90 days if Key expects
to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual
interest rate, for the period of delay.

Impaired loans are evaluated individually. Where collateral exists, the extent
of impairment is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral. If collateral does not exist, or is insufficient to support the
carrying amount of the loan, management looks to other means of collection.
Where the estimated fair value of the collateral and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows from other means of collection do not support the
carrying amount of the loan, management charges off that portion of the loan
balance which it believes will not ultimately be collected. In instances where
collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient, yet uncertainty exists
regarding the ultimate repayment, an allowance is specifically allocated for in
the allowance for loan losses.

Key excludes smaller-balance, homogeneous nonaccrual loans from impairment
evaluation. Generally these include loans to finance residential mortgages,
automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats and mobile homes. Key applies
historical loss experience rates to these loans, adjusted based on management's
assessment of emerging credit trends and other factors. The resulting loss
estimates are specifically allocated for by loan type in the allowance for loan
losses. In general, such loans are charged off when payment is 120-180 days past
due.

                              8. CAPITAL SECURITIES

The corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities of
subsidiary trusts holding solely debentures of the Corporation ("capital
securities") were issued by three business trusts, KeyCorp Institutional Capital
A ("Capital A"), KeyCorp Institutional Capital B ("Capital B") and KeyCorp
Institutional Capital C ("Capital C"), all of whose common securities are owned
by the parent company. Capital A and Capital B were formed in the fourth quarter
of 1996 and Capital C was formed in the second quarter of 1997. The proceeds
from the issuances of the capital securities and common securities were used to
purchase debentures of the parent company. Capital A and Capital B hold solely
junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of the parent company.
Capital C holds solely coupon adjusted pass-through security debentures of the
parent company. Both the debentures and related income statement effects are
eliminated in Key's financial statements.

The parent company has entered into contractual arrangements which, taken
collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and
unpaid distributions required to be paid on the capital securities; (ii) the
redemption price with respect to any capital securities called for redemption by
Capital A, Capital B or Capital C; and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, winding-up or termination of Capital A, Capital B or
Capital C.

The capital securities, common securities and related debentures are summarized
as follows:

1  The capital securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the respective
   maturity dates of the debentures or upon earlier redemption as provided in
   the indenture. Each issue of capital securities carries an interest rate
   identical to that of the respective debenture. The interest rate related to
   the capital securities issued by Capital C may be adjusted upon the
   remarketing of the capital securites on the coupon adjustment date (June 1,
   1999). The capital securities issued by Capital A and Capital B qualify as
   Tier I capital under Federal Reserve Board Guidelines.

2  The parent company has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by
   Capital A, Capital B and Capital C: (i) in whole or in part, on or after
   December 1, 2006, December 15, 2006 and June 1, 2009, respectively, (ii) in
   whole at any time within 90 days following the occurrence and during the
   continuation of a tax event or a capital treatment event (as defined in the
   applicable offering circular); and (iii) for Capital C, in whole or in part
   on the coupon adjustment date. If the debentures are redeemed prior to
   maturity, the redemption price will be expressed as a certain percentage of,
   or factor added to, the principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid
   interest.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the parent company recorded a $100 million
($66 million after tax, $.29 per Common Share) restructuring charge in
connection with strategic actions to be taken over the next year to complete its
transformation to a nationwide, bank-based financial services company. The
primary actions taken or to be taken include: (i) the formation of a nationwide
bank from Key's network of banks in 13 states and four regions of the United
States (KeyBank USA and KeyBank National Association (New Hampshire) ("KeyBank
New Hampshire") did not take part in this consolidation), (ii) the consolidation
of nearly 140 of Key's branch offices, known as KeyCenters, into other
KeyCenters, and (iii) the reduction of approximately 2,700 positions, or 10% of
Key's employment base, distributed throughout the organization at substantially
all levels of responsibility.


                                       14
<PAGE>   15



Included in the restructuring charge were accruals for expenses, primarily
consisting of severance payments ($54 million), consolidation costs related to
banking offices identified for closure ($18 million) and costs related to the
write-off of certain obsolete software previously developed for internal use
($28 million).

As of September 30, 1997, Key had completed the consolidation of 119 of the 140
KeyCenters identified for merger into other KeyCenters and reduced its
employment base by the approximate 10% projected at the announcement date.
Remaining reserves at September 30, 1997, totaled $38 million. Changes in the
restructuring reserve are summarized as follows:

              10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Key, mainly through its affiliate banks, is party to various financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The banks use these financial
instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
their customers and to manage their exposure to market risk. Market risk is the
possibility that Key's net interest income will be adversely affected as a
result of changes in interest rates or other economic factors. The primary
financial instruments used include commitments to extend credit, standby and
commercial letters of credit, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, futures and
foreign exchange forward contracts. All of the interest rate swaps, caps and
floors, and foreign exchange forward contracts held are over-the-counter
instruments. These financial instruments may be used for lending-related, asset
and liability management and trading purposes, as discussed in the remainder of
this note. In addition to the market risks inherent in the use of these
financial instruments, each contains an element of credit risk. Credit risk is
the possibility that Key will incur a loss due to a counterparty's failure to
perform its contractual obligations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR LENDING-RELATED PURPOSES
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in addition to
amounts recognized in Key's balance sheet. Key mitigates its exposure to credit
risk through internal controls over the extension of credit. These controls
include the process of credit approval and review, the establishment of credit
limits and, when deemed necessary, securing collateral.

The banks' commitments to extend credit are agreements with customers to provide
financing at predetermined terms as long as the customer continues to meet
specified criteria. Loan commitments serve to meet the financing needs of the
banks' customers and generally carry variable rates of interest, have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses, and may require the payment of
fees. Since the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
amount of the commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash outlay
to be made by Key. The credit-worthiness of each customer is evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. The estimated fair values of these commitments and the
standby letters of credit discussed below are not material. Key does not have
any significant concentrations of credit risk.

Standby letters of credit enhance the credit-worthiness of the banks' customers
by assuring the customers' financial performance to third parties in connection
with specified transactions. Amounts drawn under standby letters of credit
generally carry variable rates of interest, and the credit risk involved is
essentially the same as that involved in the extension of loan facilities.

</TABLE>



FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT PURPOSES
Key manages its exposure to market risk, in part, by using off-balance sheet
instruments. Instruments used for this purpose modify the repricing or maturity
characteristics of specified on-balance sheet assets and liabilities. The
instruments must be both effective at reducing the risk associated with the
exposure being managed, and designated as a risk management transaction at the
inception of the derivative contract. In addition, to be considered effective, a
high degree of interest rate correlation must exist between the derivative and
the specified assets or liabilities being managed at inception and over the life
of the derivative contract. Primary among the financial instruments used by both
the parent company and its subsidiary banks to manage exposure to market risk
are interest rate swap contracts. Interest rate swaps used for this purpose are
designated as portfolio swaps. The notional amount of the interest rate swap
contracts represents only an agreed-upon amount on which calculations of
interest payments to be exchanged are based, and is significantly greater than
the amount at risk. Credit risk on these instruments is the possibility that the
counterparty will not meet the terms of the swap contract and is measured as the
cost of replacing, at current market rates, contracts in an unrealized gain
position. Key deals exclusively with counterparties with high credit ratings,
enters into bilateral collateral arrangements and generally arranges master
netting agreements. These agreements include legal rights of setoff that provide
for the net settlement of the subject contracts with the same counterparty in
the event of default. In addition, the credit risk exposure to the counterparty
on each interest rate swap is monitored by a credit committee. Based upon credit
reviews of the counterparties, limits on the total credit exposure Key may have
with each counterparty and the amount of collateral required, if any, are
determined. Although Key is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties, based on management's assessment as of
September 30, 1997, all counterparties were expected to meet their obligations.
At September 30, 1997, Key had 18 different counterparties to portfolio swaps
and swaps entered into to offset the risk of customer swaps. Key had aggregate
credit exposure of $54 million to twelve of these counterparties, with the
largest credit exposure to an individual counterparty amounting to $14 million.

Conventional interest rate swap contracts involve the receipt of amounts based
on a fixed or variable rate in exchange for payments based on variable or fixed
rates, without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. Under an indexed
amortizing swap contract, the notional amount remains constant for a specified
period of time after which, based upon the level of an index at each review
date, the swap contract will mature, the notional amount will begin to amortize,
or the swap will continue in effect until its contractual maturity. Otherwise,
the characteristics of these swaps are similar to those of conventional swap
contracts. At September 30, 1997, Key was party to $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion
of indexed amortizing swaps that used a London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
index and a Constant Maturity Treasuries ("CMT") index, respectively, for the
review date measurement. Under basis swap contracts, interest payments based on
different floating indices are exchanged.

1  MATURITY IS BASED UPON EXPECTED AVERAGE LIVES RATHER THAN CONTRACTUAL TERMS.
</TABLE>



Based on the weighted average rates in effect at September 30, 1997, the spread
on portfolio interest rate swaps, excluding the amortization of net deferred
gains on terminated swaps, provided a positive impact on net interest income
(since the weighted average rate received exceeded the weighted average rate
paid by 58 basis points). The aggregate positive fair value of $46 million at
the same date was derived through the use of discounted cash flow models, which
contemplate interest rates using the applicable forward yield curve, and
represents an estimate of the unrealized gain that would be recognized if the
portfolio were to be liquidated at that date.

Interest from portfolio swaps is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives
of the respective contracts as an adjustment of the interest income or expense
of the asset or liability whose risk is being managed. Gains and losses realized
upon the termination of interest rate swaps prior to maturity are deferred and
amortized, generally using the straight-line method over the projected remaining
life of the related swap contract at its termination and recorded as an
adjustment of the yield on the respective on-balance sheet instrument that was
being managed. During the first nine months of 1997, swaps with a notional
amount of $220 million were terminated, resulting in no deferred gain or loss.
During the same period last year, swaps with a notional amount of $800 million
were terminated, resulting in a deferred gain of $.3 million.

A summary of Key's deferred swap gains and (losses) is as follows:

Key also uses interest rate caps and floors, and futures contracts to manage the
risk associated with the potential impact of adverse movements in interest rates
on specified long-term debt and other short-term borrowings. Interest rate caps
and floors involve the payment of a premium by the buyer to the seller for the
right to receive an interest differential equal to the difference between the
current interest rate and an agreed-upon interest rate ("strike rate") applied
to a notional amount. Key generally purchases or enters into net purchases (a
combination of buying and selling) of caps and floors for asset and liability
management purposes. Futures contracts are commitments to either purchase or
sell designated financial instruments at future dates for specified prices. Key
had caps and floors with a notional amount and fair value of $4.3 billion (of
which $1.6 billion are forward-starting) and $17 million, respectively, at
September 30, 1997. There were no futures contracts outstanding at the same
date. For the third quarter of 1997, interest rate swaps (including the impact
of both the spread on the swap portfolio and the amortization of deferred gains
and losses resulting from terminated swaps) and interest rate caps and floors
increased net interest income by $12 million. For the same period last year,
these instruments contributed $19 million to net interest income.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR TRADING PURPOSES
Key's affiliate banks also use interest rate swap, cap and floor, and future
contracts for dealer activities (which are generally limited to the banks'
commercial loan customers) and enter into other positions with third parties
that are intended to mitigate the interest rate risk of the customer positions.
Interest rate swap contracts entered into with customers are typically limited
to conventional swaps, as previously described. The customer swaps, caps and
floors, and futures, as well as the third party positions, are recorded at their
estimated fair values, and adjustments to fair value are included in other
income on the income statement. Key had futures contracts with a notional amount
and negative fair value of $9.9 billion and $(5) million, respectively, at
September 30, 1997.

Key also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to accommodate the
business needs of its customers and for proprietary trading purposes. These
contracts provide for the delayed delivery or purchase of foreign currency. The
foreign exchange risk associated with such contracts is mitigated by entering
into other foreign exchange contracts with third parties. Adjustments to the
fair value of all such foreign exchange forward contracts are included in other
income on the income statement.

At September 30, 1997, credit exposure from financial instruments held or issued
for trading purposes was limited to the aggregate fair value of each contract
with a positive fair value, or $82 million. The risk of counterparties
defaulting on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis. The affiliate
banks contract with counterparties of good credit standing and enter into master
netting agreements when possible in an effort to manage credit risk.

Trading income recognized on interest rate and foreign exchange forward
contracts totaled $23 million and $12 million, respectively, for the first nine
months of 1997 and $13 million and $10 million, respectively, for the first nine
months of 1996.

A summary of the notional amount and the respective fair value of derivative
financial instruments held or issued for trading purposes at September 30, 1997,
and on average for the nine-month period then ended, is presented below. The
positive fair values represent assets to Key and are recorded in other assets,
while the negative fair values represent liabilities and are recorded in other
liabilities on the balance sheet. The $8.3 billion notional amount of customer
swaps presented in the table includes $4.7 billion of interest rate swaps that
receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate and $3.6 billion of interest rate
swaps that pay a fixed rate and receive a variable rate. As of September 30,
1997, these swaps had an expected average life of 5.4 years, carried a weighted
average rate received of 6.44% and had a weighted average rate paid of 6.25%.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
KEYCORP



We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of KeyCorp and
subsidiaries ("Key") as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income for the three and nine-month periods then
ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flow for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Key's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Key as of December 31, 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity,
and cash flow for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report
dated January 15, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This section of the report, including the highlights summarized below, provides
a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of Key for the periods presented. It should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, presented
on pages 3 through 18.

This report contains forward-looking statements which are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Statements pertaining to future periods
are subject to uncertainty because of the possibility of changes in underlying
factors and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from those
contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements for a variety of
factors including: sharp and/or rapid changes in interest rates; significant
changes in the economic scenario from the current anticipated scenario which
could materially change anticipated credit quality trends and the ability to
generate loans; significant delay in or inability to execute strategic
initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or control expenses; and significant
changes in accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements.

Key's record earnings results for the third quarter of 1997 reflected growth in
fee revenue businesses, strong loan growth and the impact of strategic actions
taken to complete Key's transformation to a nationwide bank-based financial
services company and to implement expense control initiatives. These planned
actions, which were announced in November 1996, include the consolidation of
Key's bank subsidiaries (other than KeyBank USA) into one nationwide banking
institution (completed June 30, 1997, for all banks with the exception of
KeyBank New Hampshire), the consolidation of nearly 140 branch offices (known as
KeyCenters), and a reduction of approximately 10% of Key's employment base. At
the same time, Key also announced its plans to divest another 140 KeyCenters.
The above actions have been or will be taken with several objectives, including
that of improving the efficiency ratio (exclusive of acquisitions) to the
targeted level of 55% by the end of 1997, with further improvement thereafter.
As of September 30, 1997, Key had merged 119 of the 140 KeyCenters to be
consolidated and sold or reached agreements to sell 104 of the additional 140
KeyCenters targeted for sale. The sale of KeyBank Wyoming, Key's 28 branch
Wyoming bank subsidiary, and the sales of 13 other KeyCenters closed during the
third quarter. In addition, operations have been streamlined through a workforce
reduction of 2,645 full-time equivalent employees, representing substantially
all of the 10% reduction projected at the announcement date. As a result of
these factors and revenue growth, during the third quarter Key's efficiency
ratio improved 91 basis points to 56.75%, almost 400 basis points better than
the 60.71% for the third quarter of 1996. In connection with its efforts to form
one nationwide banking institution and related centralization efforts, Key also
undertook a comprehensive review of its real estate operations and occupancy
cost structure. As a result, during the third quarter Key recorded a $50 million
($33 million after tax) charge in connection with efforts to exit excess real
estate. The elimination of this excess capacity is expected to generate annual
cost savings of approximately $15 million.

During the first nine months of 1997, Key also continued its efforts to
reallocate resources (including those made available or generated by its
above-mentioned divestitures of KeyCenters in areas of low-growth potential) to
businesses with higher earnings potential. Specifically, during the first
quarter Key launched a new subsidiary, Key Corporate Capital Inc., to expand
corporate and specialty finance businesses on a nationwide basis. As part of
Key's Corporate Banking line of business, this new unit targets certain client
segments and geographic markets, including: media and telecommunications,
healthcare, structured finance and lease financing. In addition, Key entered
into an alliance with Standard Chartered Bank of the United Kingdom to provide
expanded international banking services to Key's clients doing business in Asia.
Business developed through the alliance presented no material exposure to loss
from October 1997 developments in Asian economies. During the third quarter, Key
entered into agreements with several preeminent insurance carriers to provide
its small business clients with access to a full array of healthcare,
commercial, and property and casualty insurance.

In the third quarter, Key increased the size and scope of its leasing business
by completing its acquisition of Leasetec, a privately held equipment leasing
company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, which specializes in the leasing of
information technology and telecommunications equipment to large corporate
clients. Key also completed its acquisition of Champion, headquartered in
Parsippany, New Jersey, and one of the largest home equity finance companies in
the markets served by Champion.

In addition to the above actions, during the first nine months of 1997
management continued to actively manage Key's balance sheet and capital.
Specific steps included the securitization and sale of home equity loans and
auto loans totaling $205 million and $671 million, respectively, and the sale of
$365 million of out-of-franchise credit card receivables. Management will
continue to explore opportunities for sales and/or other arrangements with
respect to its credit card and other portfolios throughout the remainder of
1997.

During the fourth quarter of 1996 and the second quarter of 1997, management
augmented its flexibility to continue its management of Key's capital through
the issuance of $500 million and $250 million, respectively, of tax-advantaged
capital securities. The securities issued in 1996 receive Tier I capital
treatment.

During the third quarter of 1997, there were no repurchases of Key Common Shares
under the 12,000,000 Common Shares repurchase program authorized by Key's Board
of Directors in November 1996. As a result, the total number of shares
repurchased under that program remained at 8,263,900. Under a separate
authorization, 2,477,318 Key Common Shares were repurchased during the third
quarter and reissued as part of the total 3,336,118 shares issued in the
Champion transaction. The other 858,800 shares issued in the Champion
transaction had been repurchased in the second quarter of 1997.

The preceding items are discussed in greater detail in the remainder of this
discussion and in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
referred to previously.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

The selected financial data set forth in Figure 1 presents certain information
highlighting the financial performance of Key for each of the last five quarters
and the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Each of the
items referred to in this performance overview and in Figure 1 is more fully
described in the following discussion or in the notes to the consolidated
interim financial statements presented on pages 7 through 18.

Net income for the third quarter of 1997 reached a record high of $236 million,
or $1.08 per Common Share, up from $207 million, or $.90 per Common Share, in
the third quarter of 1996. This represents a 20% increase in earnings per Common
Share from the year-ago quarter. In the third quarter of 1996, Key incurred a
one-time charge of $17 million ($11 million after tax) to provide for an
assessment mandated by Congress to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Excluding that one-time charge, earnings for the 1996
third quarter were $218 million, or $.95 per Common Share. For the first nine
months of 1997, earnings were $671 million, or $3.06 per Common Share, compared
with $632 million, or $2.70 per Common Share, for the same period last year. On
an annualized basis, the return on average common equity for the third quarter
of 1997 was 19.41%, up from 16.73% for the 1996 third quarter. The annualized
returns on average total assets were 1.34% and 1.28% for the third quarters of
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Contributing to the increase in quarterly earnings were a $19 million increase
in taxable-equivalent net interest income and a $104 million improvement in
noninterest income (including a $65 million increase in net gains from
divestitures). These positive factors were partially offset by a $53 million
rise in the provision for loan losses and a $33 million increase in noninterest
expense. Included in noninterest expense in the 1997 third quarter was a $50
million charge recorded in connection with efforts to exit excess real estate
resulting from Key's nationwide banking and related centralization efforts and
$14 million of distributions on capital securities (which more closely resemble
dividend or interest payments than overhead expense). Excluding these items and
the SAIF assessment recorded last year, noninterest expense was down $14 million
from the comparable period a year ago. The efficiency ratio, which measures the
extent to which recurring revenues are absorbed by operating expenses, improved
to 56.75% for the third quarter of 1997 compared with 57.66% and 60.71% for the
second quarter of 1997 and the third quarter of 1996, respectively. This
reflected continued progress made by Key in its restructuring efforts and
implementation of expense control initiatives.

For the first nine months of 1997, net income totaled $671 million, or $3.06 per
Common Share, up from $632 million, or $2.70 per Common Share, for the same
period last year. On an annualized basis, the return on average common equity
for the first nine months of 1997 was 18.78%, up from 16.76% for the comparable
year-ago period. The annualized returns on average total assets were 1.32% and
1.30% for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Affecting
comparative results were increases of $50 million in taxable-equivalent net
interest income and $138 million in noninterest income (including a $70 million
increase in net gains from divestitures). The positive impact of these factors
was moderated by a $104 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a
$41 million increase in 



                                       21

noninterest expense. Excluding the $35 million of distributions on capital
securities recorded during the first nine months of 1997, as well as the real
estate and SAIF charges discussed above, noninterest expense was down $27
million from the first nine months of last year.

CASH BASIS FINANCIAL DATA

The selected financial data presented in Figure 2 presents certain information
highlighting the performance of Key for each of the last five quarters, adjusted
to exclude the amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying intangibles, and
related balances resulting from business combinations recorded by Key under the
purchase method of accounting. Had these business combinations qualified for
accounting under the pooling of interests method, no intangible assets would
have been recorded. Since the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
does not result in a cash expense, the economic value to shareholders under
either accounting method is essentially the same. Moreover, such amortization
does not impact Key's liquidity and funds management activities. Cash basis
financial data are particularly relevant since they provide an additional basis
for measuring a company's ability to support future growth, pay dividends and
repurchase shares. They also may improve the comparability of financial results
with prior periods by removing the effect of amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles that are considered nonqualifying in regulatory capital
computations. Cash basis financial data, as defined above and presented in
Figure 2, have not been adjusted to exclude the impact of other noncash items
such as depreciation, provision for loan losses, restructuring charges, etc.
This is the only section of this report in which Key's financial results are
discussed on a cash basis.

The amortization of goodwill resulting from the third quarter 1997 acquisitions
of Leasetec and Champion is expected to reduce Key's recorded net income per
Common Share by approximately $.06 on an annual basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, which is comprised of interest and loan-related fee income
less interest expense, is the principal source of earnings for Key. Net interest
income is affected by a number of factors including the level, pricing, mix and
maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (both on and
off-balance sheet), interest rate fluctuations and asset quality. To facilitate
comparisons in the following discussion, net interest income is presented on a
taxable-equivalent basis, which restates tax-exempt income to an amount that
would yield the same after-tax income had the income been subject to taxation at
the statutory Federal income tax rate.



                                       23
<PAGE>   24


The information presented in Figure 3 provides a summary of the effect on net
interest income of changes in yields/rates and average balances for the
quarterly and year-to-date periods from the same periods in the prior year.
Various components of the balance sheet and their respective yields and rates
which affect interest income and expense are illustrated in Figure 4. A more
in-depth discussion of changes in earning assets and funding sources is
presented in the Financial Condition section beginning on page 33.

For the third quarter of 1997, net interest income was $715 million, up $19
million, or 3% from the same period last year. Growth in average earning assets
(primarily loans) of 9% more than offset a 24 basis point decrease in the net
interest margin, which continued to decline in the third quarter of 1997 and was
11 basis points lower than the prior quarter. The net interest margin is
computed by dividing annualized taxable-equivalent net interest income by
average earning assets.

Average earning assets for the third quarter totaled $62.3 billion, which was
$4.9 billion higher than the third quarter 1996 level and $2.0 billion, or an
annualized 13%, above the second quarter of 1997. The growth from the year-ago
quarter reflected a $4.7 billion, or 12%, increase in targeted loans (such as
commercial, home equity, credit card and consumer installment loans),
accompanied by a stable residential mortgage portfolio. This marked the fourth
consecutive quarter of earning asset growth following a period of planned
decreases in both residential mortgage loans and securities. Key's strategy with
respect to its loan portfolio is discussed in greater detail in the Loan section
beginning on page 33.

The decrease in the net interest margin as compared with the year-ago quarter
was due primarily to the growth of targeted loans at interest rate spreads lower
than the third quarter 1996 net interest margin. This reflected increased
reliance on money market funding of incremental loan growth, in part due to the
reduction in core deposits resulting from branch divestitures. The negative
impact of this factor was partially offset by the issuance of $500 million and
$250 million of capital securities in the fourth quarter of 1996 and second
quarter of 1997, respectively. The distributions related to these tax-advantaged
capital securities are classified as noninterest expense in accordance with
guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Key uses portfolio interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors (as
defined in Note 10, Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, beginning
on page 15) in the management of its interest rate sensitivity position. The
notional amount of portfolio interest rate swaps decreased to $11.3 billion at
September 30, 1997, from $12.3 billion at year-end 1996. Over the same period,
the notional amount of interest rate caps and floors rose to $4.3 billion at
September 30 from $1.4 billion at December 31, 1996. For the third quarter of
1997, interest rate swaps (including the impact of both the spread on the swap
portfolio and the amortization of deferred gains and losses resulting from
terminated swaps) and interest rate caps and floors contributed $12 million and
8 basis points to net interest income and the net interest margin, respectively.
For the same period last year, these instruments increased net interest income
by $19 million and the net interest margin by 13 basis points. The manner in
which interest rate swaps and caps and floors are used in Key's overall program
of asset and liability management is described in the following Asset and
Liability Management section.

1   Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a
    taxable-equivalent basis using the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35%.

2   For purposes of these computations, nonaccrual loans are included in the
    average loan balances.

3   Yield is calculated on the basis of amortized cost.

4   Rate calculation excludes ESOP debt.

TE = Taxable Equivalent

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES

Key manages its exposure to economic loss from fluctuations in interest rates
through an active program of asset and liability management pursuant to
guidelines established by its Asset/Liability Management Policy Committee
("ALCO"). The ALCO has the responsibility for approving the asset/liability
management policies of Key, overseeing the formulation and implementation of
strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings, and reviewing
the interest rate sensitivity positions of Key and each of its affiliate banks.

SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

The primary tool utilized by management to measure and manage interest rate
exposure is a net interest income simulation model. Use of the model to perform
simulations of changes in interest rates over one- and two-year time horizons
has enabled management to develop strategies for managing exposure to interest
rate risk. In its simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest
income of various pro forma changes in the overall level of interest rates.
These estimates are based on a large number of assumptions related to loan and
deposit growth, prepayments, interest rates, balance sheet management strategies
and other factors. Management believes that both individually and in the
aggregate these assumptions are reasonable, but the complexity of the simulation
modeling process results in a sophisticated estimate, not a precise calculation
of exposure. The ALCO guidelines provide that a gradual 200 basis point increase
or decrease in short-term rates over the next twelve-month period should not
result in more than a 2% impact on net interest income from what net interest
income would have been if interest rates did not change. As shown in Figure 5,
Key has been operating well within these guidelines.

LONG-TERM INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

Short-term interest rate analysis is complemented by an economic value of equity
model. This model provides the added benefit of measuring the exposure to
interest rate changes outside the one- to two-year time frame measured by the
simulation model. The economic value of Key's equity is determined by modeling
the net present value of future cash flows for asset, liability, and off-balance
sheet positions based on the implied forward yield curve. Economic value
analysis has several limitations including: the economic values of asset,
liability, and off-balance sheet positions do not represent the true fair values
of the positions, since they do not consider factors such as credit risk and
liquidity; indeterminate maturity assets and liabilities require that estimated
cash flows be developed; the future structure of the balance sheet derived from
ongoing loan and deposit activity by Key's core businesses is not factored into
present value calculations; and the analysis requires assumptions about events
that span an even longer time frame than that used in the simulation model. The
ALCO guidelines provide that an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease
in interest rates should not result in more than a 1.75% change in the ratio of
base case economic value of equity to base case economic value of assets. Key
has been operating well within these guidelines.

RECENT MANAGEMENT ACTIONS

During 1996, a number of actions were taken in connection with the execution of
asset/liability management strategies designed to improve liquidity and reduce
longer-term interest rate exposure. These actions included the sale of
residential mortgage loans totaling $500 million and the securitization and sale
of non-prime auto loans totaling $212 million. Other actions taken during 1996
included the continued run-off of lower-yielding securities and residential
mortgage loans. During the first nine months of 1997, Key securitized and sold
$205 million of home equity loans and an additional $671 million of auto loans.
In addition, $365 million of out-of-franchise credit card receivables were sold.
Management will continue to evaluate strategies to securitize and/or sell loans,
taking into account the strategies' impacts on liquidity, capital and earnings.

The above actions, along with the issuance of tax-advantaged capital securities
of $500 million during the 1996 fourth quarter and $250 million in the second
quarter of 1997, provided additional capital management flexibility. This was
reflected in the repurchase of 14,620,000 and 8,980,018 Common Shares during
1996 and the first nine months of 1997, respectively.

As was the case throughout 1996, Key continued to utilize both portfolio
interest rate swaps, which are more fully discussed below, and interest rate
caps and floors to manage its interest rate risk. In accordance with the
previously described branch divestitures, during the month of March and in early
April strategies were executed to minimize the interest rate risk associated
with the anticipated loss of fixed rate deposits. These strategies included the
issuance of $250 million of fixed rate bank notes and the execution of $650
million of forward-starting interest rate caps and $100 million of pay fixed
swaps.

PORTFOLIO INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS

In addition to Key's securities portfolios and debt issuances, management has
utilized interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by modifying the
repricing or maturity characteristics of specified on-balance sheet assets and
liabilities. Interest rate swaps used for this purpose are designated as
portfolio swaps. The decision to use portfolio interest rate swaps versus
on-balance sheet securities or debt to manage interest rate risk depends on
various factors, including the mix and cost of funding sources, liquidity, and
capital requirements. Further details pertaining to Key's swap portfolio are
included in Note 10, Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk,
beginning on page 15.

As shown in Note 10, the estimated fair value of Key's portfolio interest rate
swaps increased $38 million during the first nine months of 1997 from a fair
value of $8 million at December 31, 1996. The increase in fair value over the
past nine months reflected the financial markets' expectations, as measured by
the forward yield curve, for a future decrease in interest rates and the fact
that Key's swap portfolio is primarily in a received fixed position. Swaps with
a notional amount of $220 million were terminated during the first nine months
of 1997, resulting in no deferred gain or loss. A summary of Key's deferred swap
gains and losses at September 30, 1997, is also presented in Note 10. Each swap
termination was made in response to a unique set of circumstances and for
various reasons; however, the decision to terminate a swap contract is
integrated strategically with asset and liability management and other
appropriate processes. Portfolio swap activity for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997, is summarized in Figure 6.

A summary of the notional and fair values of portfolio swaps by interest rate
management strategy is presented in Figure 7. The fair value at any given date
represents the estimated income (if positive) or cost (if negative) that would
be recognized if the portfolio were to be liquidated at that date. However,
because the portfolio interest rate swaps are used to alter the repricing or
maturity characteristics of specific assets and liabilities, the net unrealized
gains and losses

related to the swaps are not recognized in earnings. Rather, interest from these
swaps is recognized on an accrual basis as an adjustment of the interest income
or expense from the asset or liability being managed.

Key also uses interest rate caps and floors, and futures contracts to manage the
risk associated with the potential impact of adverse movements in interest
rates. Futures contracts are commitments to either purchase or sell designated
financial instruments at future dates for specific prices. Key had caps and
floors with a notional amount and fair value of $4.3 billion and $17 million,
respectively, at September 30, 1997. There were no futures contracts outstanding
at the same date.

In June 1996, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft of a proposed SFAS, "Accounting
for Derivatives and Similar Financial Instruments and for Hedging Activities."
If adopted in its present form, an effect of this SFAS would be to disqualify
the use of hedge accounting for indexed amortizing swaps currently accounted for
by Key as hedging instruments and, therefore, likely alter Key's use of such
instruments in the future. It is not currently practicable to estimate the
potential effects of any final standard, which may differ from its present form.

CUSTOMER INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS

While not directly related to asset and liability management, in addition to
portfolio swaps, Key has entered into interest rate swap contracts to
accommodate the needs of its customers, typically commercial loan customers, and
other positions with third parties that are intended to mitigate the interest
rate risk of the customer positions. Adjustments to the fair values of such
swaps are included in other income on the income statement. Further information
pertaining to these contracts, as well as caps and floors, and futures contracts
used for trading purposes is included in Note 10, Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance Sheet Risk, beginning on page 15.

NONINTEREST INCOME

As shown in Figure 9, noninterest income for the 1997 third quarter totaled $393
million, up $104 million, or 36%, from the same period last year. Included in
third quarter results were net gains of $76 million ($79 million in branch
divestiture gains and a $3 million loss on the sale of Key's out-of-franchise
credit card portfolio) in 1997 and an $11 million gain on the sale of a credit
card portfolio in 1996. Excluding these items, noninterest income rose $39
million, or 14%, from last year's third quarter. The improvement over the prior
year reflected growth across almost all major categories, including increases in
trust and asset management income and corporate owned life insurance (both up $5
million) and insurance and brokerage income (up $4 million). Additional detail
pertaining to the composition of trust and asset management income is presented
in Figure 10. Excluding the branch divestiture gains and credit card
transactions, other noninterest income was up $24 million, reflecting a $12
million increase in investment banking income and a $6 million increase in ATM
surcharge fees. Investment banking income consists of trading profits derived
from capital markets activities (including derivatives and foreign exchange
fees), corporate finance fees, institutional brokerage commissions and gains
recognized from mezzanine and equity capital investments.

The growth in income contributed by the above categories was partially offset by
a $3 million decrease in loan securitization income, due largely to a reduced
volume of loan securitizations in the 1997 third quarter and the impact of the
accounting change brought about by the January 1, 1997, adoption of SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities." This new accounting standard served to reduce
loan securitization income in the third quarter by reclassifying a portion of
such revenue to interest income and by deferring an additional portion which is
expected to be recognized as interest income over the life of the respective
securitizations. SFAS No. 125 is discussed in greater detail in Note 1, Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, in Key's 1996 Annual Report. Additional
information pertaining to the type and volume of securitized loans which are
either administered or serviced by Key and not recorded on its balance sheet is
included in the Loans section beginning on page 33.

For the first nine months of 1997, noninterest income totaled $940 million, up
$138 million, or 17%, from the comparable 1996 period. Included in 1997 results
were $89 million in branch divestiture gains. For the same period last year,
results included an $11 million gain from the sale of a credit card portfolio
and an $8 million gain from the sale of a Florida savings bank. Excluding these
items, noninterest income was up $68 million, or 9%, from the prior year. As
shown in Figure 9, the growth from the prior year came principally from higher
levels of income from corporate owned life insurance (up $18 million), trust and
asset management income (up $14 million), insurance and brokerage income (up $12
million) and other income (up $42 million). The $26 million decrease in loan
securitization income relative to last year was due primarily to the factors
described in the preceding paragraph.

The $42 million increase in other income included a $23 million increase in
investment banking income and a $15 million increase in ATM surcharge fees. The
positive impact of these items was offset in part by a $16 million decline in
mortgage banking income, reflecting the 1996 transition to a telephone based
method of processing loan originations.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

As shown in Figure 11, noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1997 totaled
$648 million compared with $615 million for the third quarter of 1996. Included
in third quarter 1997 expense was a $50 million charge recorded in connection
with actions taken to sell certain properties or to alter certain leasing
arrangements in response to Key's nationwide banking and related centralization
efforts, as well as $14 million of distributions accrued on capital securities
(tax-advantaged preferred securities) issued by Key during the second quarter of
1997 and the fourth quarter of last year. These securities are more fully
described in Note 8, Capital Securities, beginning on page 14. In the prior
year, third quarter results included a one-time charge of $17 million to provide
for an assessment mandated by legislation passed by Congress on September 30,
1996, to recapitalize the SAIF. Excluding the above items, noninterest expense
was $14 million, or 2%, below the year-ago quarter. This improvement was due in
large part to the progress made with respect to the restructuring efforts
announced last November which center around the formation of a single nationwide
community bank (completed June 30, 1997, for all banks with the exception of
KeyBank New Hampshire), as well as the implementation of expense control
initiatives. Further information pertaining to specific actions taken in
connection with the restructuring and expense control initiatives is included in
the Introduction beginning on page 20.

The $14 million reduction in core noninterest expense relative to the third
quarter of last year was attributable primarily to decreases of $8 million in
both marketing expense and professional fees. These improvements were offset in
part by the impact of the Leasetec and Champion acquisitions and incentive
accruals related to various investment banking activities. Also included in
noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $4 million of expense
incurred in connection with efforts being undertaken by Key to modify computer
information systems to be year 2000 compliant (properly read date-sensitive
information when the calendar year changes to 2000). As of September 30, 1997,
Key had incurred and recognized approximately $10 million of the estimated $40
million of expense that it expects to incur to complete this project by the end
of 1998.

Noninterest expense totaled $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 1997, up
$41 million, or 2%, from the same period last year. Excluding the real estate
disposition charge and $35 million of distributions accrued on capital
securities during 1997, and the one-time SAIF assessment in 1996, noninterest
expense was down $27 million, or 2%, from the comparable year-ago period. This
improvement reflected reductions in personnel expense and professional fees of
$17 million and $13 million, respectively. Reduction in staff was a major reason
for the decrease in personnel costs, as full-time equivalent employees totaled
25,622 at September 30, 1997, down from 28,337 at September 30, 1996. This
reflected the impact of Key's restructuring and expense control initiatives
(including branch mergers). Expenses incurred to become year 2000 compliant
totaled $9 million for the first nine months of 1997.

The efficiency ratio, which provides a measure of the extent to which recurring
revenues are used to pay operating expenses, improved to 56.75% for the third
quarter, from 57.66% in the previous quarter and 60.71% for the third quarter of
1996. The continued improvement during the third quarter of 1997 reflects the
increasing benefits and effectiveness of Key's expense control strategies and
growth in revenues.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $111 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1997, up from $101 million for the same period in 1996. The
effective tax rate (provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before
income taxes) for the 1997 third quarter was 32.0% compared with 32.8% for the
third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, the provision for
income taxes was $309 million compared with $300 million for the first nine
months of last year. The effective tax rate for these periods was 31.5% and
32.2%, respectively. Compared with the prior year, the lower effective income
tax rate for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods was primarily
attributable to increases in income from corporate owned life insurance and
credits associated with investments in low-income housing projects. The
effective income tax rate remains below the statutory Federal rate of 35% due
primarily to continued investment in tax-advantaged assets (such as tax-exempt
securities and corporate owned life insurance) and the recognition of credits
associated with investments in low-income housing projects.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS

At September 30, 1997, total loans outstanding were $53.7 billion, up from $49.2
billion at December 31, 1996, and $48.4 billion at September 30, 1996. The
composition of the loan portfolio by loan type, as of each of these respective
dates, is presented in Note 5, Loans, beginning on page 11.

The $5.3 billion, or 11%, increase in loans outstanding from the September 30,
1996, level was due primarily to internal growth, but also included the net
impact of acquisitions, sales and divestitures. During the third quarter of
1997, Key completed its acquisitions of Leasetec and Champion which added total
loans outstanding of approximately $1.0 billion and $225 million, respectively.
The sales and divestitures which occurred over the past year included the impact
of the planned branch divestitures, as well as Key's continued strategy of
securitizing and/or selling student loans, auto loans and other loans which do
not meet certain return on equity, credit or other internal standards. For
example, Key generally sells or securitizes student loans when a borrower enters
repayment status. A summary of the loans sold and divested during 1997 and 1996
is presented in Figure 12. In addition to the branch divestitures, activity
since September 30, 1996, included the sale of $586 million of student loans (of
which $403 million was associated with securitizations), the sale of auto loans
totaling $742 million and the sale of $205 million of home equity loans. All of
the auto and home equity sales were associated with securitizations. Another
factor moderating the increase in total loans over the past year was the sale of
$365 million of out-of-franchise credit card receivables. Management will
continue to explore opportunities for sales and/or other arrangements with
respect to its credit card and other portfolios over the remainder of 1997.


                                       33
<PAGE>   34



Excluding the net impact of acquisitions, sales and divestitures, loan
portfolios targeted for growth (which exclude one-to-four family mortgages and
loans held for sale) increased $5.5 billion, or 14%, since September 30, 1996,
and were up $1.5 billion, or an annualized 14%, from the prior quarter. Over the
past 12 months, the largest improvement came from commercial loans which
contributed $2.5 billion to the increase, due primarily to higher levels of
commercial, financial and agricultural loans (up $1.8 billion) and real
estate-construction loans (up $341 million). Additionally, consumer loans rose
by $2.9 billion, and included increases of $1.1 billion in home equity loans and
$172 million in credit card receivables.

The $4.4 billion increase in loans from the December 31, 1996, level reflected
strong growth in targeted loan portfolios. The aggregate annualized growth rate
of average outstanding balances in these portfolios was 20%, 11% and 7% for the
third, second and first quarters of 1997, respectively. Excluding the net impact
of acquisitions, sales and divestitures, targeted loans rose $4.0 billion due
primarily to higher levels of commercial loans (up $2.1 billion, including $1.6
billion of commercial, financial and agricultural loans) and consumer loans (up
$2.0 billion, including $623 million of home equity loans). At September 30,
1997, targeted loans comprised 83% of total loans and 62% of total assets
compared with 83% of total loans and 60% of total assets at December 31, 1996.

Shown in Figure 13 are loans which have been securitized and sold and are either
administered or serviced by Key, but not recorded on its balance sheet. Income
recognized in connection with such transactions is derived from two sources.
Noninterest income earned from servicing or administering the loans is recorded
as loan securitization income, while income earned on assets subject to
prepayment, recorded in connection with securitizations and accounted for like
investments in interest-only strips, is recorded as interest income on
securities available for sale.

SECURITIES

At September 30, 1997, the securities portfolio totaled $8.9 billion, consisting
of $7.6 billion of securities available for sale and $1.3 billion of investment
securities. This compares with a total portfolio of $9.3 billion, comprised of
$7.7 billion of securities available for sale and $1.6 billion of investment
securities, at December 31, 1996. The composition of the two securities
portfolios by type of security, as of each of these respective dates, is
presented in Note 3, Securities Available for Sale, and Note 4, Investment
Securities, presented on pages 9 and 10, respectively. The increase in
collateralized mortgage obligations since year end 1996 is in part the result of
programs instituted in the fourth quarter of 1996 to better manage securities
used to meet the collateral requirements of the affiliate banks. Previously,
lower-yielding securities with shorter maturities had been relied upon for this
purpose. Certain information pertaining to the composition, yields, and
maturities of the securities available for sale and investment securities
portfolios is presented in Figures 14 and 15, respectively.

ASSET QUALITY

Through its Credit Policy, Credit Administration and Loan Review Groups, Key
evaluates and monitors the level of risk in its credit-related assets;
formulates underwriting standards and guidelines for line management; develops
commercial and consumer credit policies and systems; establishes credit-related
concentration limits; reviews loans, leases and other corporate assets to
evaluate credit quality; and reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses ("Allowance"). Geographic diversity throughout Key is a significant
factor in managing credit risk.

Management has developed methodologies designed to assess the adequacy of the
Allowance. The Allowance allocation methodologies applied at Key focus on
changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, changes in the levels
of impaired and other nonperforming and past due loans, the risk inherent in
specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries,
existing and prospective economic conditions and historical losses on a
portfolio basis. In addition, indirect risk in the form of off-balance sheet
exposure for unfunded commitments is taken into consideration. Management
continues to target and maintain an Allowance equal to the allocated requirement
plus an unallocated portion, as appropriate. Management believes this is an
appropriate posture in light of current and expected economic conditions and
trends, the geographic and industry mix of the loan portfolio and similar
risk-related matters.

As shown in Figure 16, net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 1997 were
$85 million, or .64% of average loans, compared with $49 million, or .40% of
average loans, for the same period last year. The higher level of net
charge-offs was concentrated in the consumer-indirect, commercial, financial and
agricultural and credit card portfolios. Key has a relatively small credit card
portfolio which comprises approximately 3% of its total average loans
outstanding. The $19 million increase in consumer-indirect net charge-offs
(primarily indirect auto loans) reflected the impact of a strategy adopted by
Key in 1996 to expand its consumer customer base to include various credit risk
profiles. This strategy also includes risk-adjusted pricing to address the
relative credit risk of various strata of the customer base. In addition, Key's
consumer portfolio was impacted by the continuing nationwide deterioration in
consumer credit quality, as indicated by an increasingly high number of
bankruptcies. Net charge-offs in the commercial portfolio were up $7 million,
primarily due to the resolution of a few large commercial accounts. As a result
of the higher level of net charge-offs, the provision for loan losses was
increased to $102 million for the third quarter of 1997 from $75 million for the
prior quarter and $49 million for the third quarter of last year. This increase
reflected management's intention to continue to maintain the provision for loan
losses at a level equal to or above net charge-offs.

On a year-to-date basis, net charge-offs were $217 million, or .57% of average
loans, for the first nine months of 1997 compared with $138 million, or .38% of
average loans, for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses for
the first nine months of 1997 was $244 million compared with $140 million for
the first nine months of 1996. The $79 million rise in net charge-offs for the
year-to-date period was attributable primarily to increases of $41 million and
$33 million in the consumer-indirect and credit card portfolios, respectively.

The Allowance at September 30, 1997, was $900 million, or 1.68% of loans, up $30
million from $870 million, or 1.77% of loans, at December 31, 1996, and $870
million, or 1.80% of loans, at September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1997, the
Allowance was 247.25% of nonperforming loans, compared with 249.28% at December
31, 1996 and 252.91% at September 30, 1996. Although this percentage is not a
primary factor used by management in determining the adequacy of the Allowance,
it has general short to medium-term relevance. There have been no significant
changes in the allocation of the Allowance since year end.

The composition of nonperforming assets is shown in Figure 17. These assets
totaled $411 million at September 30, 1997, and represented .77% of loans, OREO
and other nonperforming assets compared with $400 million, or .81%, at year end
1996 and $396 million, or .82%, at September 30, 1996. The $15 million increase
in nonperforming loans since year end 1996 was geographically broad based and
spread across a number of product types in the commercial (up $35 million) and
consumer (up $5 million) loan portfolios. These increases were partially offset
by a $24 million decline in the level of nonperforming residential real estate
loans. Additional information pertaining to changes in impaired and other
nonaccrual loans and the percentage of nonperforming loans to period end loans
by type within Key's geographically dispersed banking regions is presented in
Figures 18 and 19, respectively. The September 30, 1997, percentage of
nonperforming real estate construction loans to period end loans in the Rocky
Mountain Region included one credit of approximately $17 million which was
placed on nonperforming status during the third quarter.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS

Core deposits, defined as domestic deposits other than certificates of deposit
of $100,000 or more, are Key's primary source of funding. During the third
quarter of 1997, these deposits averaged $38.4 billion and represented 62% of
Key's funds supporting earning assets compared with $39.9 billion and 69%,
respectively, for the third quarter of 1996. As shown in Figure 4 beginning on
page 26, over the past year the decrease in core deposits was due primarily to
steady declines in the levels of both savings deposits and NOW accounts. This
reflected primarily the sale of KeyBank Wyoming in July 1997 and the divestiture
of 21 other branch offices during the second and third quarters of this year.
The divested branches (including KeyBank Wyoming) had deposits of approximately
$1.3 billion.

Purchased funds, which are comprised of large certificates of deposit, deposits
in foreign offices and short-term borrowings, averaged $17.2 billion for the
third quarter of 1997, up $3.5 billion, or 25%, from the comparable prior year
period. As illustrated in Figure 4, the increase was attributable primarily to
higher levels of short-term borrowings and deposits in foreign offices which
rose by $2.6 billion and $876 million, respectively. Purchased funds have been
more heavily relied upon to offset declines in the volume of core deposits and
to fund earning asset growth. This trend is expected to continue through the
remainder of 1997 due in large part to the impact of the planned branch
divestitures.

LIQUIDITY

Key actively analyzes and manages its liquidity, which represents the
availability of funding to meet the needs of depositors, borrowers and creditors
at a reasonable cost on a timely basis and without adverse consequences. The
affiliate banks maintain liquidity in the form of short-term money market
investments, securities available for sale, anticipated prepayments and
maturities on securities, the maturity structure of their loan portfolios and
the ability to securitize and package loans for sale. Liquidity is also enhanced
by a sizable concentration of core deposits, previously discussed, which are
generated by more than 1,000 full-service Key Centers in 14 states. The
affiliate banks monitor deposit flows and evaluate alternate pricing structures
with respect to their deposit base. This process is supported by a Central
Funding Unit within Key's Funds & Investment Management Group. This group
monitors the overall mix of funding sources in conjunction with the affiliate
banks' deposit pricing and in response to the structure of the earning assets
portfolio. In addition, the affiliate banks have access to various sources of
money market funding (such as Federal funds purchased, securities sold under
repurchase agreements and bank notes) and borrowings from the Federal Reserve
system for short-term liquidity requirements should the need arise. One of the
affiliate banks, KeyBank USA, has a line of credit with the Federal Reserve
which provides for overnight borrowings of up to $1.1 billion and is secured by
$1.4 billion of KeyBank USA's credit card receivables at September 30, 1997.
There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of September
30, 1997.

During the first nine months of 1997, Key's affiliate banks raised $6.6 billion
under Key's Bank Note Program. Of the notes issued during the first nine months
of 1997, $2.7 billion have original maturities in excess of one year and are
included in long-term debt, while $3.9 billion have original maturities of one
year or less and are included in other short-term borrowings. On October 7,
1997, Key commenced a new Bank Note Program which provides for the issuance of
up to $13 billion ($12 billion by KeyBank National Association and $1 billion by
KeyBank USA).

During the second quarter of 1997, Key diversified its funding sources by
establishing a Euronote Program under which the parent company, KeyBank National
Association and KeyBank USA may issue both long and short-term debt of up to $5
billion in the aggregate. The notes will be offered exclusively to non-U.S.
investors and can be denominated in dollars and most European currencies. There
was $780 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility as of September
30, 1997, all of which were issued during the third quarter of 1997.


                                       39
<PAGE>   40



The parent company's Commercial Paper/Note Program provides for the availability
of up to $500 million of additional short-term funding. The proceeds from this
program may be used for general corporate purposes, and have been used to fund
AutoFinance Group, Inc.'s lending activities in conjunction with securitizations
of its auto loans. The parent company also has a revolving credit agreement with
several unaffiliated banks under which the banks have agreed to lend
collectively up to $500 million to the parent company. This credit agreement is
used primarily as a backup source of liquidity for the Commercial Paper/Note
Program. There were no borrowings outstanding under either of these facilities
as of September 30, 1997.

During the third quarter of 1996, the parent company filed a universal shelf
registration statement with the SEC to provide for the possible issuance of up
to $1.2 billion of debt and equity securities in addition to the unused capacity
under a previous shelf registration. Accordingly, at September 30, 1997, unused
capacity under the 1996 shelf registration totaled $1.3 billion, of which $750
million is reserved for future issuance as medium-term notes. The proceeds from
the issuances under the shelf registration, the Bank Note Program and the
Euronote Program described above may be used for general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions.

The liquidity requirements of the parent company, primarily for dividends to
shareholders, servicing of debt and other corporate purposes are principally met
through regular dividends from affiliate banks. Excess funds are maintained in
short-term investments. The parent company has ready access to the capital
markets as a result of its favorable debt ratings which, at September 30, 1997,
were as follows:

Further information pertaining to Key's sources and uses of cash for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, is presented in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow on page 6.

CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS

Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1997, was $5.1 billion, down $195
million, or 4%, from the December 31, 1996, balance and $100 million, or 2%,
from the end of the third quarter of 1996. The decrease from the end of the
prior year and from the year-ago quarter was due primarily to the share
repurchases discussed below and dividends paid to shareholders from current
period net income. The decrease from the 1996 year end was partially offset by
net unrealized securities gains of $57 million and net income retained for the
current period. As of September 30, 1997, cumulative net unrealized securities
gains totaled $8 million. This amount compares with losses of $6 million and $37
million at December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively. Other
factors contributing to the change in shareholders' equity during the first nine
months of 1997 are shown in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity
presented on page 5.

In November 1996, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program
which authorized the repurchase from that date of up to 12,000,000 Common Shares
by the end of 1997. Under the program, shares have been repurchased from time to
time in the open market or through negotiated transactions. During the first
nine months of 1997, Key repurchased 5,643,900 shares at a total cost of $296
million (an average of $52.45 per share) and reissued 1,856,064 Treasury Shares
for employee benefit and dividend reinvestment plans. Coupled with 2,620,000
shares repurchased in the fourth quarter of 1996, this brings the total number
of shares repurchased under the 1997 program to 8,263,900, leaving authority to
repurchase up to 3,736,100 Common Shares by the end of 1997. While Key may
repurchase additional Common Shares by the end of 1997, it does not anticipate
utilizing the full authority under the 12,000,000 Common Shares repurchase
program and may request its Board to extend any remaining authority into 1998.
Under a separate authorization, an additional 3,336,118 Key Common Shares were
repurchased during the current year and reissued in the Champion acquisition.
The 26,278,189 Treasury Shares at September 30, 1997, are expected to be
reissued over time in connection with employee stock purchase, 401(k), stock
option and dividend reinvestment plans and for other corporate purposes.

Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and
performance. Overall, Key's capital position remains strong with a ratio of
total shareholders' equity to total assets of 7.04% at September 30, 1997,
compared with 7.22% at December 31, 1996, and 7.61% at September 30, 1996.
Including the capital securities issued in the fourth quarter of 1996 and the
second quarter of 1997, the ratio of total shareholders' equity to total assets
at September 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, is 7.74% and 7.96%, respectively.

Banking industry regulators define minimum capital ratios for bank holding
companies and their banking subsidiaries. Based on the risk-adjusted capital
rules and definitions prescribed by the banking regulators, Key's Tier I and
total risk-adjusted capital ratios at September 30, 1997, were 6.73% and 11.10%,
respectively. These compare favorably with the minimum requirements of 4.0% for
Tier I and 8.0% for total capital. The regulatory leverage ratio standard
prescribes a minimum ratio of 3.0%, although most banking organizations are
expected to maintain ratios of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the
minimum. At September 30, 1997, Key's leverage ratio was 6.33%, substantially
higher than the minimum requirement. Figure 21 presents the details of Key's
regulatory capital position at September 30, 1997, December 31, 1996, and
September 30, 1996.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Federal bank regulators group
FDIC-insured depository institutions into five broad categories based on certain
capital ratios. The five categories are "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and
"critically undercapitalized." All of Key's affiliate banks qualify as "well
capitalized" at September 30, 1997, since they exceeded the well-capitalized
thresholds of 10%, 6% and 5% for the total capital, Tier I capital and leverage
ratios, respectively. Although these provisions are not directly applicable to
Key under existing laws and regulations, based upon its ratios Key would qualify
as "well capitalized" at September 30, 1997. The FDIC-defined capital categories
may not constitute an accurate representation of the overall financial condition
or prospects of Key or its affiliate banks.
