derived from the audited financial statements but do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENTS--Fixed maturities and equity securities have been classified as
available for sale and are carried at fair values at March 31, 1995 and

31 are as follows:
1995 Fixed Equity
---- Maturities Securities
---------- ----------
Increase in Unrealized Gains
(Net of Income Tax Effects) $ 47,307,079 $ 66,009,932
1994
----

and policyholder benefits in the accompanying statements of income are net of
$14,617,542 and $3,429,385 reinsurance recoveries for March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
NOTE II - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has primarily qualified stock option plans under which options are

NOTE III INTERIM ADJUSTMENTS
The preceding summary of financial information for Cincinnati Financial
Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries is unaudited, but the Company
believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for fair presentation have been made. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indications of results to be expected for
this year.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 1995 have increased
$25,661,741 (9%) over the three months ended March 31, 1994. The growth rate
of our property and casualty subsidiaries on a gross written basis is greater
than last year; and with lower costs of reinsurance, our premiums earned
increased 9% in the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 over March 31,
1994. The premium growth is attributable to new business and rate increases.
The premium volume of our life and health company has increased approximately
2% as the Company had slight increases in both life and health insurance
production. For the three-month period ended March 31, 1995, Investment
Income, net of expenses, has increased $8,039,123 (13%) when compared with the
first three months of 1994. This increase is the result of the growth of the
investment portfolio because of investing cash flows from increased premiums
written. The growth is greater than last year because of higher yields on new
investments.
Realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 1995
amounted to $21,018,001 compared to $18,924,075 for the comparable three-month
period ended March 31, 1994. The realized gains are predominantly the result
of the sale of equity securities and management's decision
to realize the gains and reinvest the proceeds at higher yields.
Insurance losses and policyholder benefits (net of reinsurance recoveries)
decreased $1,157,070 (1%) for the first three months of 1995 over the same
period in 1994. The losses and benefits of the property and casualty companies
have decreased $2,419,732 because the catastrophe losses for the first quarter
of 1995 were only $0.1 million compared to $18.8 million in 1994. The lower
incidence and severity of these weather related catastrophe claims more than
offset the increased claims due to the growth in business. Policyholder
benefits increased $1,262,662 over the first quarter of 1994 in the life
insurance subsidiary. The majority of the increase is the result of a higher
incidence of death and disability income claims and related costs.
Commission expenses increased $5,754,323 for the first quarter of 1995 compared
to the first quarter of 1994. The increase is mainly attributable to the
increases in new business and the effects of favorable underwriting results.
Other operating expenses increased $4,249,697 for the first quarter of 1995
compared to the first quarter of 1994. Most of the increase is the result of
general wage increases and the increase in the number of employees from 1,975
at December 31, 1993 to 2,150 at March 31, 1995.
Provision for income taxes, current and deferred, have increased by $9,186,365
for the first three months of 1995 compared to the first three months of 1994.
The increase in federal taxes is attributable to higher underwriting profits in
our property and casualty companies, because of lower catastrophe claims and
higher taxable investment income, dividends received and capital gains for the
corporation.
Unrealized appreciation will fluctuate with changes in the overall fixed
maturities and equity securities market. Changes in unrealized appreciation
are discussed in Note 1. The Company's equity investment portfolio continues
to be primarily investments in common stocks of public utility companies and
financial institutions.
