NET INTEREST INCOME
  Net interest income, the Corporation's principal source of earnings, is the
difference between the interest income generated by earning assets (primarily
loans and investment securities) and the total interest paid on interest
bearing funds (deposits and other borrowings).  For the purpose of this
discussion, net interest income is presented on a fully-taxable equivalent
(FTE) basis, to provide a comparison among types of interest earning
   10
assets.  Interest on tax-free securities and tax-exempt loans has been restated
as if such interest was taxed at the statutory Federal income tax rate of 35%,
adjusted for the non-deductible portion of interest expense incurred to acquire
the tax-free assets.

  Net interest income FTE for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was $46,259,000
compared to $46,944,000 for the same period one year ago, a decrease of
$685,000 or 1.0%.

  As summarized in the schedule below, the increase in total interest income
FTE of $4,369,000 was affected by the lower market interest rates which reduced
the yield on earning assets from 8.21% one year ago to 7.44% for the first
quarter of 1994.  Interest on loans and investment securities decreased
$3,315,000 and $3,179,000 respectfully due to lower interest rates.

  As lower market interest rates reduced the yield on earning assets, it also
reduced the Corporation's cost of funds.  The average rate for interest bearing
liabilities was 2.91% for the first quarter of 1994 compared to 3.46% for the
same period one year ago.  The decrease in interest expense due to lower
interest rates affected all categories of interest bearing deposits as
summarized in the previous schedule.  As interest rates continued to decline,
funds shifted from certificates of deposits to the more liquid savings and
demand deposits.  Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1994
was down $3,684,000 compared to the same period one year ago.

NET INTEREST MARGIN
  The net interest margin, net interest income FTE divided by average earning
assets, is affected by changes in the level of earning assets, the proportion
of earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities, the interest rate
spread, and changes in the corporate tax rates.  A meaningful comparison of the
net interest margin requires an adjustment for the changes in the statutory
Federal income tax rate noted above.  The schedule below shows the relationship
of the tax equivalent adjustment and the net interest margin.

  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 reduced the tax benefit available to banks
acquiring tax exempt assets which has resulted in the reduction of the
tax-equivalent adjustment since the Act's adoption.

  Average loans outstanding increased 2.8% to $2,412,611,000 compared to
$2,347,656,000 in 1993.  Average loans outstanding represent 65.9% of average
earning assets compared to 66.4% in 1993.

  Average certificates and other time deposits have decreased from 42.7% of
total interest bearing funds in the first quarter of 1993 to 38.6% in the first
quarter of 1994, while average savings deposits increased from 42.6% in the
first quarter of 1993 to 44.9% in the respective period in 1994.

  Interest bearing liabilities funded 79.8% of average earning assets for the
first quarter of 1994 compared to 81.8% one year ago.  Maximizing the use of
non interest liabilities helps reduce the cost of funds, thus improving the net
interest margin.

NON INTEREST INCOME
  Non interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was $14,688,000
compared to $13,084,000 for the same period one year ago, an increase of 12.3%.

  Trust fees increased $1,068,000 in the first quarter of 1994 compared to the
same period one year ago or $3,516,000 compared to $2,448,000 from one year
ago.  Credit card fees totaled $1,877,000, up 4.7% compared to one year ago;
other income $4,329,000, up 17.0%; and service charges total $4,994,000 down
3.9%.  The
   12
Corporation continues to examine new sources of non-interest income as well as
the current pricing of existing products and services which provide a source of
revenues not sensitive to the interest rate environment.

NON INTEREST EXPENSE
  Non-interest expense was $38,320,000 for the first quarter of 1994 compared
to $37,682,000 for the same quarter of 1993, an increase of 1.7%.  Salaries and
benefits increased 3.6% in the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to the
same period one year ago, or $19,847,000 compared to $19,150,000, and
represented 51.8% of the first quarter total operating expenses compared to
50.8% in 1993.

  Management is of the opinion that all necessary adjustments have been made to
the financial statements in order to fairly present the results of operations
of the Corporation for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
  In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  The
statement requires debt and equity securities to be classified as
held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.  Securities classified as
held-to-maturity are measured at amortized or historical cost, securities
available-for-sale and trading at fair value.  Adjustment to fair value of the
securities available-for-sale, in the form of unrealized holding gains and
losses, is excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate
component of shareholders' equity.  Adjustment to fair value of securities
classified as trading is included in earnings.  This statement becomes
effective in 1994.

  To comply with SFAS #115, the Corporation placed its core investment
portfolio in held to maturity and its remaining investments into available for
sale.  The core portfolio is held till maturity and should provide the
Corporation with earnings and liquidity over a relatively wide band of interest
rate movements.  The available for sale portfolio represents those non-core
segments of the portfolio that under certain circumstances and interest rate
scenarios flexability relative to disposition is prudent.  The Corporation's
entire investment portfolio is considered to be of high quality and compliance
with SFAS #115 should not be interpreted to signal a change in the
Corporation's investment strategy of focusing on high quality investments that
provide earnings, liquidity and assist in asset/liability management.  The
Corporation does not engage in the trading of investment securities.

The book value and market value of investment securities
classified as held-to-maturity are as follows:

  The book value and market value of investment securities including
mortgage-backed securities and derivatives at March 31, 1994, by contractual
maturity, are shown above.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual
maturities based on the issuers' right to call or prepay obligations with or
without call or prepayment penalties.

  The carrying value of investment securities pledged to secure trust and
public deposits and for purposes required or permitted by law amounted to
approximately $619,223,000 at March 31, 1994, $602,694,000 at December 31, 1993
and $555,708,000 at March 31, 1993.

  As noted in prior periods, securities with remaining maturities over five
years reflected in the foregoing schedule consist largely of mortgage and asset
backed securities.  This is part of a strategy to maximize future earnings.
While the contractual maturities of these mortgages and asset backed securities
are beyond five years, these instruments provide periodic principal payments
and include securities with adjustable interest rates, reducing the interest
rate risk associated with longer term investments.

LOANS
  Total loans outstanding at March 31, 1994 amounted to $2,458,931,000 compared
to $2,396,463,000 at December 31, 1993 and $2,379,474,000 at March 31, 1993.
Loan demand was somewhat stronger during the first quarter as uncertainty about
the economy and interest rates continued.  Loans showed an increase since year
end 1993 of $62,468,000 for an annualized growth rate of approximately 10%.
The loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 1994 equaled 70.8% compared to 69.9% and
71.7% at December 31, 1993 and March 31, 1993, respectively.

ASSET QUALITY
  Total non performing assets (non-accrual and restructured and other real
estate owned) amounted to $18,159,000 at March 31, 1994 or .74% of total loans
outstanding.  At December 31, 1993 non performing assets equaled .74% of total
loans or $17,701,000 compared to 1.28% or $30,462,000 at March 31, 1993.

  As of this report, there were no loans outstanding which in total could be
considered a concentration of lending in any particular industry or group of
industries.  Most of the Corporation's business activity is with customers
located within the state of Ohio.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
  The allowance for possible loan losses at March 31, 1994 amounted to
$31,795,000 or 1.29% of total loans outstanding compared to $31,221,000 or
1.30% at December 31, 1993 and $29,932,000 at March 31, 1993 or 1.26%.

  The Credit Risk Management Division of the Corporation is responsible for
determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses through
internal review, analysis of delinquency trends and ratios, changes in the
composition and level of various loan categories, historical loss experience,
and current economic conditions.
