- -------------------------------------------------------------

financial position as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, the results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 and the statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. In accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information, these statements do not include certain
information and footnote disclosures required for complete annual
financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2000 has
been derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements of Fifth Third
Bancorp (the "Registrant" or "Fifth Third"). The results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the
statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2000, included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated
financial statements and related notes to conform with the current
period presentation. As described in note 2, the accompanying prior
period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Registrant,
have been restated to include the financial results of Old Kent.

The combined results are not necessarily indicative of the results that
would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated in the past or
which might be attained in the future.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Registrant incurred merger-related
costs totaling $254,666,000 ($209,530,000 after tax, or $.36 per diluted
share) in connection with the Old Kent merger transaction. The significant
components of the second quarter merger charge include employee-related
costs of $72 million, professional fees of $45 million, credit quality
charges of $35 million, duplicate facilities and equipment of $38 million,
conversion costs of $32 million and $33 million of other merger-related
costs (including losses incurred on the sales of Old Kent's subprime
mortgage lending portfolio and small-ticket leasing portfolio in order to
align Old Kent with the Registrant's asset liability management policies).
As previously announced, additional merger-related charges will be incurred
in the second half of fiscal 2001 as the Registrant completes the remaining
conversions of Old Kent's Michigan operations, including headquarters and
back-office functions in Grand Rapids and the remaining rationalization of
Old Kent's mortgage banking business.

Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Employee-related costs include the severance packages negotiated with
approximately 1,400 people (including all levels of the previous Old Kent
organization from the executive management level to back office support
staff) and the change-in-control payments made pursuant to pre-existing
employment agreements. Employee-related payments made through June 30, 2001
totaled approximately $41 million, including payment to the approximate 400
people that have been terminated through June 30, 2001.

Credit quality charges relate to conforming Old Kent commercial and
consumer loans to the Registrant's credit policies. Specifically, these
loans were conformed to the Registrant's credit rating and review systems
as documented in the Registrant's credit policies. Commercial credit
quality charges largely relate to Old Kent concentrations in real estate
investment property lending and sub prime lending and their related
collateral quality valuations as well as Old Kent's overall higher
commercial lending authorities, as compared to the Registrant's standards.
Consumer credit quality charges largely relate to the application of the
Registrant's more conservative grading of high LTV loans and purchased home
equity loan portfolios. Based on the conforming ratings, reserves were
established based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or fair value of the
underlying collateral. The Registrant evaluated the collectibility of both
principal and interest in assessing the need for a loss accrual. During the
second quarter of 2001, the Registrant charged-off $35 million in loans
related to these factors.

Duplicate facilities and equipment charges of $38 million largely include
negotiated terminations of several office leases and writedowns of
duplicative software.

Conversion costs of $32 million include vendor contract termination costs
related to certain application systems and the conversion of affiliates and
banking centers in certain locations (including signage and all customer
relationships).

3. For the first six months of 2001, the Registrant paid $1,328,890,000 in
interest and paid $7,500,000 in Federal income taxes. For the same period
in 2000, the Registrant paid $1,282,428,000 in interest and paid
$96,444,000 in Federal income taxes. During the first six months of 2001
and 2000, the Registrant had noncash investing activities consisting of the
securitization of $1,782,911,000 and $1,120,261,000 of residential mortgage
loans, respectively.

4. Effective January 1, 2001, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measurement of
those instruments at fair value. On the date the Registrant enters into a
derivative contract, the Registrant designates the derivative instrument as
either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or as a free-standing derivative
instrument. For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the
derivative

9
Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability
or of an unrecognized firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk are
recorded in current period net income. For a cash flow hedge, changes in
the fair value of the derivative instrument to the extent that it is
effective are recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders'
equity and subsequently reclassified to net income in the same period(s)
that the hedged transaction impacts net income.

For free-standing derivative instruments, changes in the fair values are
reported in current period net income. Prior to entering a hedge
transaction, the Registrant formally documents the relationship between
hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This
process includes linking all derivative instruments that are designated as
fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the
balance sheet or to specific forecasted transactions along with a formal
assessment at both inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis as to the
effectiveness of the derivative instrument in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that the
derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting
is discontinued and the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded
in net income.

The Registrant maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy
that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant
unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate
volatility. The Registrant's interest rate risk management strategy
involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and
liabilities so that changes in interest rates do not adversely affect the
net interest margin and cash flows. Derivative instruments that the
Registrant uses as part of its interest rate risk management strategy
include interest rate and principal only swaps, interest rate floors,
forward contracts and both futures contracts and options on futures
contracts. Interest rate swap contracts are exchanges of interest payments,
such as fixed-rate payments for floating-rate payments, based on a common
notional amount and maturity date. Forward contracts are contracts in
which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to make delivery
of a specific financial instrument at a predetermined price or yield.
Principal only ("PO") swaps are total return swaps based on the underlying
PO true value. Futures contracts are contracts that represent the
obligation to buy or sell a predetermined amount of debt subject to the
contracts specific delivery requirements at a predetermined date and a
predetermined price. Options on futures contracts represent the right but
not the obligation to buy or sell. The Registrant also enters into foreign
exchange contracts for the benefit of customers. By policy, the Registrant
hedges the exposure of these free-standing derivatives entered into for the
benefit of customers by entering into offsetting third-party forward
contracts with approved reputable counterparties with matching terms and
currencies that are generally settled daily. Risks arise from the possible
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
any resultant exposure to movement in foreign currency exchange rates,
limiting the Registrant's exposure to the replacement value of the
contracts rather than the notional principal or contract amounts. Free-
standing derivatives also include derivative transactions entered into for
risk management purposes that do not otherwise qualify for hedge
accounting. The registrant will enter into interest rate swap agreements
with commercial clients and an unconsolidated qualifying special purpose
entity. The Registrant will hedge its interest rate exposure on these
transactions by executing offsetting swap agreements with primary dealers.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES - The Registrant enters into interest rate swaps to
convert its nonprepayable, fixed-rate long-term debt to floating-rate debt.
The Registrant's practice is to convert fixed-rate debt to floating-rate
debt. Decisions to convert fixed-rate debt to floating are made primarily
by consideration of the asset/liability mix of the Registrant, the

10
Item 1.  Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

desired asset/liability sensitivity and by interest rate levels. For the
quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant met certain criteria required
to qualify for shortcut method accounting on its fair value hedges of this
type. Based on this shortcut method accounting treatment, no
ineffectiveness is assumed and fair value changes in the interest rate swap
are recorded as changes in the value of both swap and long term debt in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Registrant enters
into a combination of derivative instruments (PO swaps, floors, forward
contracts and interest rate swaps) to hedge changes in fair value of its
fixed rate mortgage servicing rights as it relates to changes in the
benchmark rate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant recognized
a gain of $2.3 million and a loss of $5.5 million, respectively, in
noninterest income, which represents the ineffective portion of all fair
value hedges on mortgage servicing rights. As of June 30, 2001, there were
no instances of designated hedges no longer qualifying as fair value
hedges. The Registrant has approximately $329.8 million of fair value
hedges included in other assets in the June 30, 2001 Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

CASH FLOW HEDGES - The Registrant enters into interest rate swaps to
convert floating-rate liabilities to fixed rates. The liabilities are
typically grouped and share the same risk exposure for which they are being
hedged. As of June 30, 2001, $1.6 million in deferred losses related to
existing hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains and
losses on derivative contracts that are reclassified from cumulative other
comprehensive income to current period earnings are included in the line
item in which the hedged item's effect in earnings is recorded. As of June
30, 2001, $1.6 million in deferred losses on derivative instruments
included in other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified into
earnings during the next twelve months. All components of each derivative
instrument's gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge
effectiveness. Additionally, the Registrant enters into forward contracts
to hedge the forecasted sale of its mortgage loans. For the three months
ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant met certain criteria to qualify for
matched terms accounting on the hedged loans for sale. Based on this
treatment, fair value changes in the forward contracts are recorded as
changes in the value of both the forward contract and loans held for sale
in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended
June 30, 2001, there were no cash flow hedges that were discontinued
related to forecasted transactions deemed not probable of occurring. The
maximum term over which the Registrant is hedging its exposure to the
variability of future cash flows for all forecasted transactions, excluding
those forecasted transactions related to the payments of variable interest
in existing financial instruments, is five years for hedges converting
floating-rate loans to fixed and one year for hedges of forecasted sales of
mortgage loans. The Registrant has approximately $1.6 million of cash flow
hedges related to floating-rate liabilities included in other short-term
borrowings and $6.5 million of cash flow hedges related to loans held for
sale included in other assets in the June 30, 2001 Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

FREE-STANDING DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - The Registrant enters into various
derivative contracts which primarily focus on providing derivative products
to customers. These derivative contracts are not linked to specific assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet or to forecasted transactions and,
therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. Additionally, interest rate
lock commitments issued on residential mortgage loans intended

11
Item 1.  Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

to be held for resale are considered free-standing derivative instruments.
The interest rate exposure on these commitments is economically hedged
primarily with forward contracts. The commitments and free-standing
derivative instruments are marked to market and recorded as a component of
mortgage banking noninterest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant
recorded a gain of $4.9 million and $11 million, respectively, on foreign
exchange contracts for customers and a gain of $2.9 million and $2.7
million, respectively on the net change in interest rate locks and forward
contracts. The Registrant has approximately $2.6 million of free-standing
derivatives related to customer transactions included in accrued income
receivable and $3.8 million of free-standing derivatives related to
interest rate locks included in other assets in the June 30, 2001 Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

5. In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The statement is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001,
with certain disclosure and reclassification requirements effective for
financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
Included in SFAS No. 140, which replaced SFAS No. 125 of the same name, are
the accounting and reporting standards related to securitizations and
Qualifying Special Purpose Entities ("QSPE"). The adoption of SFAS No. 140
did not have a material effect on the Registrant.

6. On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations",
and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These Statements
make significant changes to the accounting for business combinations,
goodwill, and intangible assets. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling of
interests method of accounting for business combinations with limited
exceptions for combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition,
it further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill. This statement is effective for business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. The Registrant has not yet
determined the impact of adopting this standard.

SFAS No. 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for
impairment. Impairment would be examined more frequently if certain
indicators are encountered. Intangible assets with a determinable useful
life will continue to be amortized over that period. The amortization
provisions apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30,
2001. Goodwill and intangible asset balances at June 30, 2001 will be
affected when the Registrant adopts the Statement. The Registrant has not
yet determined the impact of adopting this standard.

In July 2001, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102
"Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues." This
bulletin further clarifies the staff's view on the development,
documentation and application of a systematic methodology for determining
allowances for loan and lease losses in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Registrant does not anticipate any material
changes to its existing methodology as a result of adoption of this
standard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," the Registrant has determined its
principal segments to be retail banking, commercial banking, investment
advisory services and data processing. Retail banking provides a full range
of deposit products and consumer loans and leases. Commercial banking
offers services to business, government and professional customers.
Investment advisory services provides a full range of investment
alternatives for individuals, companies and not-for-profit organizations.
Data processing, through Midwest Payment Systems ("MPS"), provides
electronic funds transfer ("EFT") services, merchant transaction
processing, operates the Registrant's Jeanie ATM network and provides other
data processing services to affiliated and unaffiliated customers. General
corporate and other includes the investment portfolio, certain non-deposit
funding, unassigned equity, the net effect of funds transfer pricing and
other items not allocated to operating segments.

Total revenues exclude securities gains and losses. The Registrant did not
allocate resources or assess the ongoing operating performance of acquired
entities prior to acquisition. Therefore, financial information prior to
acquisition is shown separately as acquired entities. Following
acquisition, results of operations are included in the Registrant's segment
information for the acquired entities.

Results of operations and selected financial information by operating
segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as
follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Registrant's financial condition and results of
operations during the periods included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements which are a part of this filing.

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors
include the economic environment, competition, products and pricing in
geographic and business areas in which the Registrant operates, prevailing
interest rates, changes in government regulations and policies affecting
financial services companies, credit quality and credit risk management, changes
in the banking industry including the effects of consolidation resulting from
possible mergers of financial institutions, acquisitions and integration of
acquired businesses. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to release
revisions to these forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this report.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The Registrant's operating earnings were $338.2 million for the second quarter
of 2001 and $644.4 million for the first six months of 2001, up 14 percent and
11 percent, respectively, compared to $296.7 million and $578.5 million for the
same periods last year. Operating earnings per diluted share were $.58 for the
second quarter, up 12 percent over last year's $.52, and $1.10 for the first six
months of 2001, up 9 percent from $1.01 for the same period last year.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter
of 2001 was $619.4 million, an 8 percent increase over $572.8 million for the
same period last year, resulting principally from a 7.5 percent growth in
average interest-earning assets and a 2 basis points ("bp") increase in net
interest margin, from 3.74 percent during the second quarter of 2000 to 3.76
percent in the second quarter of 2001. For the six-month period, net interest
income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased to $1.2 billion, or 7
percent, from the $1.1 billion reported in the same period last year, resulting
principally from a 7.5 percent growth in average interest-earning assets while
net interest margin remained constant at 3.78 percent. The negative effect of a
decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets of 60bp over second
quarter 2000 and 20bp over the first six months of 2000, was offset by a
decrease in funding costs of 55bp over second quarter 2000 and 10bp over the
first six months of 2000. The decline in funding costs was primarily due to the
repricing of borrowed funds and lower year-over-year deposit rates on existing
accounts.

The provision for credit losses was $25.6 million in the 2001 second quarter
compared to $35.3 million in the same period last year. Net charge-offs for the
quarter were $42.1 million compared to $26 million in the 2000 second quarter
and $48.4 million last quarter. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans
and leases outstanding increased 13bp to .39 percent from .26 percent in the
same period last year. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans,
leases and other real estate owned was .44 percent at June 30, 2001 compared to
.39 percent at June 30, 2000 and .52 percent last quarter. Underperforming
assets were $316.3 million at June 30, 2001, or .76 percent of total loans,
leases and other real estate owned, up 10bp compared to the

16
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results

of Operations (continued)
- -------------------------

$271.6 million, or .66 percent, at June 30, 2000 and the $332.1 million or .77
percent last quarter.

The Registrant maintains a reserve to absorb probable loan and lease losses
inherent in the portfolio. The reserve for credit losses is maintained at a
level the Registrant considers to be adequate to absorb probable loan and lease
losses inherent in the portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility and
historical loss experience of loans and leases. Credit losses are charged and
recoveries are credited to the reserve. Provisions for credit losses are based
on the Registrant's review of the historical credit loss experience and such
factors which, in management's judgement, deserve consideration under existing
economic conditions in estimating probable credit losses. The reserve is based
on ongoing quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in
the loan and lease portfolio. In determining the appropriate level of reserves,
the Registrant estimates losses using a range derived from "base" and
"conservative" estimates. The Registrant's methodology for assessing the
appropriate reserve level consists of several key elements.

Larger commercial loans that exhibit potential or observed credit weaknesses are
subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to
individual loans based on management's estimate of the borrower's ability to
repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow
and legal options available to the Registrant. Included in the review of
individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan." Any reserves for impaired loans are measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate or fair value of the underlying collateral. The Registrant evaluates the
collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for a loss
accrual. Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject
to specific reserve allocations. The loss rates are derived from a migration
analysis, which computes the net charge-off experience sustained on loans
according to their internal risk grade. These grades encompass ten categories
that define a borrower's ability to repay their loan obligations.

Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgage loans, and
automobile leases are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for
each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs for one year. Loss
rates are based on the average net charge-off history by loan category.

Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for
significant factors that, in management's judgement, reflect the impact of any
current conditions on loss recognition. Factors which management considers in
the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in
the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs, nonaccrual and
problem loans), changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards,
collection practices, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and
the Registrant's internal credit examiners.

An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating
and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of
loans. Reserves on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed

quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral
conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience.

The Registrant has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach
in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no
material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior
periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. The
overall decrease between periods in total non-performing and under-performing
assets was somewhat offset as a result of the consideration of historical loss
rates and did not materially affect the current period allowance. The overall
decrease in loan and lease balances outstanding as of June 30, 2001, combined
with the effect of securitizations, did, however, have a favorable impact on the
current period allowance.

Total other operating income, excluding securities gains, increased 15 percent
to $422 million compared to $365.5 million in the second quarter 2000, and
increased to $830.9 million for the first six months of 2001, or 15 percent over
the same period last year. Compared to the same periods in 2000, data processing
income increased 32 percent, to $78.4 million in the 2001 second quarter and 32
percent, to $147.9 million, in the six-month period. Increases in electronic
funds transfers ("EFT") and higher transaction volume from increased debit and
ATM card usage, coupled with expansion of business-to-business e-commerce,
contributed to the increase in data processing income.

Compared to the same periods in 2000, investment advisory income increased 14
percent to $80.4 million in the second quarter and 11 percent to $157.5 million
in the six month period. These increases reflect strong growth in personal trust
revenue and brokerage revenue on the strength of a more productive sales force
and increased market activity. Service charges on deposits increased 21 percent
over the same period last year and 18 percent for the six-month period primarily
due to continued sales success in treasury management services and Retail and
Commercial deposit campaigns. Other service charges and fees increased 22
percent over the same period last year, and 24 percent for the six-month period,
primarily due to increases in loan origination fees across nearly all categories
from continued strong loan demand. Compared to the same periods in 2000, for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, commercial banking fees
increased 36 percent and 31 percent, credit card fees increased 22 percent and
18 percent, and loan and lease fees increased 31 percent and 23 percent,
respectively.

Operating earnings include a nonrecurring pretax merger-related charge of $254.7
million and $72.8 million in the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively,
and $254.7 million and $99 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively. These merger-related charges were incurred in connection
with Fifth Thirds's integration of Old Kent in 2001 and Old Kent's integration
of Grand Premier Financial, Inc. and Merchant Bancorp, Inc. in 2000. The merger-
related charges incurred in 2001 consist of employee-related costs of $72
million, professional fees of $45 million, credit quality charges of $35
million, duplicate facilities and equipment of $38 million, conversion costs of
$32 million and $33 million of other merger related costs. Excluding these
merger related charges, the efficiency ratio (operating expenses divided by the
sum of taxable equivalent net interest income and other operating income) was
49.3 percent for the second quarter of 2001 and 48.7 percent for the 2001 six-
month period. These ratios represent a slight decline from the 48.3 percent
achieved in the second quarter of 2000 and an improvement over the 49.1 percent
for the six months ended 2000. The slight decline in the second quarter
efficiency ratio was primarily due to increased operating expenses partially
offset by increased revenues, while the six month improvement was due to revenue
growth outpacing expense increases. Total operating expenses, excluding the
merger-related charges, increased to $513.1 million or 13 percent as compared to
the second quarter of 2000 and increased 9 percent to $998.5 million as compared
to the 2000 six-month period. Salaries, incentives and benefits increased 10
percent in the second quarter of 2001 and 6 percent during the six-month period
as compared to 2000. Net occupancy expense increased 11 percent during the
second quarter and 9 percent during the six-month period primarily due to rent
expense incurred, while total other operating expenses increased 22 percent in
the second quarter and 18 percent for the six-month period.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

The Registrant's balance sheet remains strong with high-quality assets and solid
capital levels. Total assets were $69.8 billion at June 30, 2001 compared to
$69.7 billion at December 31, 2000 and $66.9 billion at June 30, 2000, an
increase of .3 percent and 4 percent, respectively. On an operating basis,
return on average equity was 18.9 percent and return on average assets was 1.89
percent for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 21.1 percent and 1.80
percent, respectively, for the same quarter of last year.

Net interest income growth continues to be fueled by interest-earning asset mix
and growth and an increase in net interest margin. Average interest-earning
assets increased to $66.2 billion for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of
$4.6 billion, or 7 percent, over the same period last year and 2000 year-end.
Average interest-earning assets increased primarily due to growth in commercial
loans and leases and consumer loans and leases.

Transaction account deposits grew 17 percent, or $3.9 billion, over the same
period last year and $2 billion, or 8 percent, over 2000 year-end. Deposits
growth during the period is primarily attributable to the success of promotional
campaigns emphasizing customer deposit accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure
sufficient funds are available to meet customer loan demand and deposit
withdrawals. The banking subsidiaries' liquidity sources consist of short-term
marketable securities, maturing loans and federal funds loaned and selected
securitizable loan assets. Liquidity has also been obtained through liabilities
such as customer-related core deposits, funds borrowed, certificates of deposit
and public funds deposits.

At June 30, 2001, shareholders' equity was $7.1 billion compared to $5.8 billion
at June 30, 2000, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 21 percent. Shareholders'
equity as a percentage of total assets as of June 30, 2001 was 10.12 percent.
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which assign
risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set
minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). The guidelines also
define "well-capitalized" ratios of Tier 1, total capital and leverage as 6
percent, 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The Registrant exceeded these
"well-capitalized" ratios at June 30, 2001 and 2000. Estimated at June 30, 2001,
the Registrant had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.69 percent, a total
risk-based capital ratio of 13.77 percent and a leverage ratio of 9.28 percent.
At June 30, 2000, the Registrant had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.22
percent, a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.21 percent and a leverage ratio
of 9.08 percent.

Foreign Currency Exposure
- -------------------------

At June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Registrant maintained foreign office deposits of
$1.5 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. These foreign deposits represent
U.S. dollar denominated deposits in our foreign branch located in the Cayman
Islands. In addition, the Registrant enters into foreign exchange derivative
contracts for the benefit of customers involved in international trade to hedge
their exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. By policy, the Registrant
enters into offsetting third-party forward contracts with approved reputable
counterparties with matching terms and currencies that are generally settled
daily.

19
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net
interest income within Board-approved policy limits. The Registrant uses an
earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to
movements in interest rates. Given an immediate, sustained 200 basis point
upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, it is estimated
net interest income for the Registrant would decrease by 2.22 percent over one
year and decrease by .86 percent over two years. A 200 basis point immediate,
sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income
by an estimated 6.95 percent over one year and decrease net interest income by
an estimated 4.49 percent over two years. For further discussion of the
Registrants' market risk see the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Market Risk,
