Note 2 —Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock options of Vision Bancshares, Inc. (“Vision”) for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937 shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share. The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition was $109.0 million. Substantially, none of the goodwill is tax deductible. Management continues to expect that the acquisition of Vision will improve the future growth rate for Park’s loans and deposits. The fair value of the acquired assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $624.4 million at March 9, 2007.
AtDuring the timefirst quarter of 2008, loans at Vision Bank have grown by $26 million to $666 million at March 31, 2008. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2008, Vision Bank had loan growth of $67 million or 11.3%, while the Ohio-based banks had loan growth of $97 million or 2.8% for the same period.
Additional information pertaining to Park’s acquisitions made during 2007 is discussed in Note 2 of the acquisition, Vision operated two bank subsidiaries (both named Vision Bank) which became bank subsidiaries of Park on March 9, 2007. On July 20,Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2007 the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were consolidated under a single charter through the merger of the Vision bank headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama (“Vision Alabama”) with and into the Vision bank headquartered in Panama City, Florida (“Vision Florida”, “Vision”, or “Vision Bank”), under the charter of Vision Florida. Vision Florida operates 18 branch locations in the Gulf Coast communities, in Baldwin County, Alabama and in the Florida panhandle. The markets that Vision Florida operates in are expectedAnnual Report to grow faster than many of the non-metro markets in which Park’s subsidiary banks operate in Ohio. Management expects that the acquisition of Vision will improve the future growth rate for Park’s loans and deposits.

On September 21, 2007, a national bank subsidiary of Park, The First-Knox National Bank of Mount Vernon (“First-Knox”), acquired the Millersburg, Ohio banking office (the “Millersburg branch”) of Ohio Legacy Bank, N.A. (“Ohio Legacy”). First-Knox acquired substantially all of the loans administered at the Millersburg branch of Ohio Legacy and assumed substantially all of the deposit liabilities relating to the deposit accounts assigned to the Millersburg branch. The fair value of loans acquired was approximately $38 million and deposit liabilities acquired were approximately $23 million.
First-Knox paid a premium of approximately $1.7 million in connection with the purchase of the deposit liabilities. First-Knox recognized a loan premium adjustment of $700,000 and a certificate of deposit adjustment of $300,000, resulting in a total increase to core deposit intangibles of $2.7 million. No goodwill was recognized as part of this transaction. In addition, First-Knox paid $900,000 for the acquisition of the branch office building that Ohio Legacy was leasing from a third party.Shareholders.
The following table shows the activity in goodwill and core deposit intangibles during the first ninethree months of 2007.2008.

The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over periods ranging from six to ten years. The amortization period for the Vision acquisitionBank and the Millersburg branch acquisitionpurchase core deposit intangibles is six years. Management expects that the core deposit amortization expense will be $1.1$1.0 million for the second, third and fourth quarterquarters of 2007.2008.
Core deposit amortization expense is projected to be as follows for each of the following years:
        
 Annual Annual
(In Thousands) Amortization Amortization
2007 $3,847 
2008  4,025  $4,025 
2009  3,746  $3,746 
2010  3,422  $3,422 
2011  2,677  $2,677 
2012 $2,677 
Total $17,717  $16,547 
Goodwill is evaluated on an annual basis for impairment and otherwise when circumstances warrant. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Park’s management determined that the goodwill from the Vision Bank acquisition on March 9, 2007 could possibly be impaired due to the significant deterioration in the credit condition of Vision Bank. Nonperforming loans at Vision Bank increased from $26.3 million at September 30, 2007 to $63.5 million at December 31, 2007 or 9.9% of year-end loan balances. Net loan charge-offs were $6.4 million for the fourth quarter or an annualized 3.99% of average loan balances. Management determined that due to these severe credit conditions, a valuation of the fair value of Vision Bank be computed to determine if the goodwill of $109.0 million was impaired. Management determined that an impairment charge of $54.0 million was appropriate; therefore, the current carrying value of goodwill resulting from the Vision acquisition is $55.0 million at March 31, 2008.
Goodwill for the Ohio-based banks was evaluated during the first quarter of 2007,2008, and no impairment charge was necessary.
Note 3 —Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

-10-


Commercial loans are individually risk graded. 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 and other sources of cash flow. Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment loans and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions, loan delinquency and other environmental factors.

Note 9 Investment Securities
The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities are shown in the following table. Management evaluates investment securities on a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairment. No impairment charges have been deemed necessary in 20072008 or 2006.2007. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of changes in interest rates and will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments.

For the thirdfirst quarter ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, the tax equivalent yield on the total investment portfolio was 5.14%5.07% and the average maturity was 4.03.4 years. U.S. Government Sponsored Entities’ asset-backed securities comprised approximately 75%86% of the total investment portfolio at the end of the thirdfirst quarter of 2007.2008. This segment of the investment portfolio consists of fifteen-year mortgage-backed securities and fifteen-year collateralized mortgage obligations.
The average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen if long-term interest rates would increase as the principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations would be reduced. Management estimates that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen to 5.14.5 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term interest rates and to 5.25.0 years with a 200 basis point increase in long-term interest rates. Conversely, management estimates that repayments would increase and that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would decrease to 3.62.2 years and 2.61.4 years respectively, with a 100 basis point and 200 basis point decrease in long-term rates.

Park’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Management does not expect to make a pension plan contribution during the fourth quarter of 2007. A pension plan contribution of $9,117,417 was paid during the first quarter of 2006.in 2008.

Note 12 –Income Taxes
In JuneSeptember 2006, the FinancialFASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes –Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an interpretationamendment of FASB StatementStatements No. 109 (FIN 48),87, 88, 106 and 132R.This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, beginning with fiscal year-end December 31, 2006, and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not,the changes occur through comprehensive income beginning in 2007. Additionally, defined benefit plan assets and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expectedobligations are to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The benefit recognized for a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria is measured based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized, taking into consideration the amounts and probabilitiesas of the outcome upon settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on disclosures and other issues. Effective January 1, 2007, Park adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on the financial statements. As a result, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN 48. As of January 1, 2007, Park had provided a liability of $789,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. Park recognizes interest and penalties through the income tax provision. The total amount of interest and penalties on the date of adoption was $76,000. In the third quarter endedemployer’s fiscal year-end, starting in 2008. Park had a pension asset and liability valuation performed as of September 30, 2007, and as a result of the SFAS No. 158 measurement date provisions, Park claimed a $29 million deduction relatedwas required to adjust retained earnings for three-fifteenths (20%) of the 1994 write-off of regulatory goodwill by one its affiliate banks by filing an amended 2003 federal income tax return. Park increased its unrecognized tax benefit by approximately $10 million related to this item. Although Park believes it is within its rights by claiming this deduction, it is highly uncertain as to whether this deduction will be allowed. Consequently,estimated expense for 2008. Therefore, Park has not recognized a related income tax benefit. Management does not expectcharged approximately $0.3 million to retained earnings on January 1, 2008 (net of taxes) to reflect the total amountexpense pertaining to three months of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next quarter. Park is no longer subject to examination by federal taxing authorities for the tax year 2003 and the years prior.pension plan expense.
Note 13 –12 —Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of FASB issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF Issue No. 06-04”). This draft abstract from EITF reached a consensus that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. The EITF concluded that a liability for the benefit obligation under SFAS No. 106 has not been settled through the purchase of an endorsement type life insurance policy. In September 2006, FASB agreed to ratify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 06-04. This new accounting standard was effective for Park beginning January 1, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, Park and its subsidiary banks owned $128.7 million of bank owned life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are generally subject to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. These arrangements were designed to provide a pre-and postretirement benefit for senior officers and directors of Park and its subsidiary banks. Park’s management has completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-4 on Park’s consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2008, Park charged approximately $11.6 million to retained earnings and recorded a corresponding liability for the same amount.
In Note 1 to Park’s 2007 Annual Report, Park reported that the EITF 06-04 charge to retained earnings would be approximately $7.5 million, net of deferred tax and that a corresponding liability of $11.6 million would be recorded. During the first quarter of 2008, management came to the conclusion that the book liability of $11.6 million would be a permanent tax item and the company would not receive a tax deduction. As such, no deferred tax asset was recognized.

Fair Value Measurements
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The fair value option permits companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent changes in fair value must be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We will adopt SFAS No. 159 onThe Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on Park’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in United StatesU.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently in the process of evaluatingbelieves that the impact of adoptingadoption resulted in enhanced footnote disclosures; however, the adoption did not materially impact the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (See Note 15 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements).
At the February 12, 2008 FASB meeting, the Board decided to defer the effective date of Statement 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 is effective for certain non-financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Non-financial assets and liabilities may include (but are not limited to); (i) non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination, but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods, (ii) reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test described in SFAS No. 142, and (iii) non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test described in SFAS No. 142.
Accounting for Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value
On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings” (“SAB 109”). Previously, SAB 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”, stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supercedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 is effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption of this Statement on Park’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.standard was not material.

In July 2006,Accounting for Business Combinations
On December 4, 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of FASB issued a draft abstract for EITF IssueStatement No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. This draft abstract from EITF reached a consensus that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. The Task Force concluded141(R)”), with the objective to improve the comparability of information that a liability for the benefit obligation undercompany provides in its financial statements related to a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 106 has141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Statement does not been settled throughapply to combinations between entities under common control. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the purchaseacquisition date is on or after the beginning of an endorsement type life insurance policy. In September 2006, FASB agreed to ratify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 06-04. This new accounting standard will be effective for fiscal yearsfirst annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2007. At September 30, 2007, Park2008.
Note 13 —Derivative Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and its subsidiary banks owned $119.2 millionHedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of bank owned life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are generally subject to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. These arrangements were designed to provide a pre-and postretirement benefit for senior officers and directors of Park and its subsidiary banks. Park’s management has completed its initial evaluationderivatives depends on the intended use of the impactderivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the adoptionderivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of EITF Issue No. 06-4 on Park’s financial statements. Basedearnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company executed a interest rate swap to hedge a $25 million floating-rate subordinated note that was entered into by Park during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Our interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying principal amount.
As of March 31, 2008, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
At March 31, 2008, the derivative’s fair value of ($874,000) was included in other liabilities. No hedge ineffectiveness on the most recent analysis performed by management, ifcash flow hedge was recognized during the post-retirement benefit for senior officersquarter. At March 31, 2008, the variable rate on the $25 million subordinated note was 4.67% (LIBOR plus 200 basis points) and directorsPark was paying 6.01% (4.01% fixed rate on the interest rate swap plus 200 basis points).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the change in the fair value of Park and its subsidiaries remain unchanged, Park believes therethe derivative designated as a cash flow hedge reported other comprehensive income was $568,000 (net of taxes of $306,000).

Note 14 ConsolidationGuarantees
Pursuant to the requirements of Ohio Banking Operations
On July 30,Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”), Park recorded a contingent legal liability of $.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2007. This was a result of an announcement Visa made in the fourth quarter of 2007 that it was establishing litigation reserves for the settlement of a lawsuit and for additional potential settlements with other parties. Park announcedrecorded the contingent legal liability based on Visa’s announcements and Park’s membership interest in Visa. Visa had a plansuccessful initial public offering (“IPO”) during the first quarter of 2008. Visa used a portion of the IPO proceeds to review current processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency by converting to one operating system. One outcome of this initiativefund an escrow account that will be the combinationused to pay litigation settlements. As a result of the eight banking chartersIPO, Park was able to reverse the entire litigation liability and recognize as income $.9 million during the first quarter of Park’s Ohio-based subsidiary banks into one national bank charter,2008. This is reflected in other income within the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of income.
At the time of the IPO, Park held 132,876 Class B Common Shares of Visa. During the first quarter of 2008, Visa redeemed 51,373 of these shares and paid Park $2.2 million, which was recognized as income in other income within the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of income. The unredeemed shares are recorded at their original cost basis of zero.
Note 15 —Fair Value
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that Park National Bank. Functionsuses to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting, etc.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be reviewed as part of this project include, butreceived to sell an asset or transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not limited to: compliance, regulatory reporting, accounting, product development,traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data processing,for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral, had a carrying amount of $92.4 million, with a valuation allowance of $4.8 million, resulting in an additional provision for loan and deposit operations. On August 21, 2007, Park signed an agreement with its data processing vendorlosses of $1.4 million for the system conversions of the 12 Ohio-based banking subsidiaries and divisions. The contract requires total payments of approximately $700,000; $350,000 of which was prepaid upon the signing of the agreement on August 21, 2007. The entire contract obligation will be expensed ratably, as incurred, over the 15-month period ending December 31, 2008. It is anticipated that using a common operational platform and centralizing certain functions will result in expense reduction due to having fewer operational support positions over the next two years. However, specific reductions in employment have not been determined at this time.
On October 22, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Park approved a severance plan known as the Discretionary Employment Transition Policy (“Severance Plan”). Management anticipates that as affected positions are identified in 2008 for elimination, employees will be evaluated to determine if they qualify for the severance package. Park’s Severance Policy provides for the payment of one week of salary for each year of service up to ten years. For each year of service over ten, the Severance Policy will pay out two weeks of salary. The minimum payment for a covered employee will be four weeks of salary. There is no maximum severance payment under this Severance Policy.period.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation,limitation: deterioration in the asset value of Vision Bank’s loan portfolio may be worse than expected; Park’s ability to execute its business plan;plan successfully and within the expected timeframe; Park’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into Park’s operations; Park’s ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and revenue synergies from acquisitions; general economic and financial market conditions, either national or in the state in which Park and its subsidiaries do business, are less favorable than expected; Park’s ability to executeconvert its plan to convertOhio-based community banking subsidiaries and divisions to one operating system;system and combine their charters; deterioration in credit conditions in the markets in which Park’s subsidiary banks operate; changes in the interest rates;rate environment reduce net interest margins; competitive pressures among financial institutions increase significantly; changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies; the effect of critical accounting policies and judgments; demand for loans in the respective market areas served by Park and its subsidiaries, and other risk factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20062007 and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 20062007 Annual Report to Shareholders lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Park considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgement and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and of current economic conditions. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including expected default probabilities, loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and the current economic conditions. All of those factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact earnings for future periods.
Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers individual impaired loans, pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics and other environmental risk factors. This assessment is updated on a quarterly basis. The allowance established for individual impaired loans reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans. The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. These analyses involve a high degree of judgement in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific impaired loans.
Pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics are also assessed for probable losses. A loss migration analysis is performed on certain commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans. These are loans above a fixed dollar amount that are assigned an internal credit rating. Generally, residential real estate loans and consumer loans are not individually graded. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is dependent on their net charge-off history.
Management also evaluates the impact of environmental factors which pose additional risks. Such environmental factors include: national and local economic trends and conditions; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff; effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures; levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this component of the allowance for loan losses requires considerable management judgement.
Park’s recent adoption of SFAS No. 157 (See Note 15 to this Form 10-Q) on January 1, 2008 required management to establish a fair value hierarchy, which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. This statement also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs used to calculate fair value. These are classified as Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 3 inputs are those with significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the market for a particular instrument. Some of this could be based on internal models and cash flow analysis. At March 31, 2008, the Level 3 inputs for Park had an aggregate fair value of approximately $91 million. This was 5.11% of the total amount of assets measured at fair value as of the end of the first quarter. The fair value of impaired loans was approximately $88 million (or 97%) of the total amount of Level 3 inputs. The large majority of Park’s Level 2 inputs consist of available for sale (“AFS”) securities. The fair value of these AFS securities is obtained largely by the use of matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial services industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgement than most other significant accounting policies.policies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill. At September 30, 2007, Park had core deposit intangibles of $18.3 million subject to amortization and $181.4 million of goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s banking subsidiaries to provide quality, cost effectivecost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value of $181.4 million is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base, or the inability to deliver cost-effectivecost effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. SFAS No. 142 requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment.impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of Park’s subsidiary banks, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for the Park subsidiary banks and banking industry comparable information.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, Park’s management determined that Vision Bank had significant credit problems and concluded that an impairment analysis needed to be done on the goodwill balance at Vision Bank. As a result of this impairment analysis, Vision Bank recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $54.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2007. This evaluation,impairment charge reduced the goodwill balance carried on the books of Vision Bank to $55.0 from $109.0 million.
At March 31, 2008, on a consolidated basis, Park had core deposit intangibles of $16.2 million subject to amortization and $127.3 million of goodwill, which iswas not subject to periodic amortization. The core deposit intangibles recorded on the balance sheets of Park’s Ohio-based banks totaled $5.8 million and the core deposit intangibles at Vision Bank were $10.4 million. The goodwill assets carried on the balance sheets of Park’s Ohio-based banks totaled $72.3 million and the goodwill balance at Vision Bank was $55.0 million. During the first quarter of 2008, Park’s management evaluated the goodwill for Park’s Ohio-based banks for impairment and concluded that the fair value of the goodwill for Park’s Ohio-based banks exceeded the carrying value and accordingly was not impaired. An impairment analysis was not performed annually, was performedon the goodwill at Vision Bank during the first quarter of 2007 and no2008 because the impairment chargeanalysis was deemed necessary.completed for Vision Bank at year-end 2007. Park’s management will review the goodwill at Vision Bank for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Summary Discussion of Results
Net income decreasedfor the first quarter of 2008 increased by $2.5$1.9 million or 10.5%9.1% to $21.3$23.0 million compared to $21.1 million for the first three months ended September 30, 2007 from $23.8 millionof 2007. Diluted earnings per share increased by $.16 or 10.7% to $1.65 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $1.49 for the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income decreased by $5.6 million or 7.9% to $65.9 million from $71.5 million for the same period in 2006. 2007.
The annualized net income to average asset ratio (ROA) was 1.35% and 1.46%1.42% for the threefirst quarter of 2008 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to 1.77% and 1.78%was 1.51% for the same periodsperiod in 2006.2007. The annualized net income to average equity ratio (ROE) was 13.69% and 14.33%16.02% for the first three months of 2008 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to 17.66% and 17.73%was 14.58% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. The reduction in net income for both periods was largely due to the increase in the loan loss provision, which increased $4.9 million and $8.5 million for eachfirst quarter of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006.2007.

The annualized net income to average tangible realized equity ratio (ROTRE) was 18.89% and 18.74% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 19.06% and 19.35% for the same periods in 2006.
Diluted earnings per share decreased by 12.3% to $1.50 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.71 per share for the same period in 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $4.61, a decrease of 9.8% from $5.11 for the same nine month period in 2006.
Park’s management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate Park’s performance. Specifically, management reviews ROTREreturn on average tangible realized equity (ROTRE) and has included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q information relating to ROTRE for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and 2006.2007. For purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measure of ROTRE, annualized net income for each period is divided by average tangible realized equity during the period. Average tangible realized equity equals average stockholders’ equity during the applicable period less (i) average goodwill and other intangible assets during the period and (ii) average accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, during the period. Management believes that ROTRE presents a meaningful view of Park’s operating performance and ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions and unrealized gains and losses arising from mark-to-market accounting for the fair market value of investment securities.

Net Interest Income Comparison for the ThirdFirst Quarter of 20072008 and 20062007
Net interest income (the difference between total interest income and total interest expense) is Park’s principal source of earnings, making up approximately 75.7%74.2% of total revenuesrevenue for the three month period ending September 30, 2007first quarter of 2008 and 76.5%77.2% of total revenuesrevenue for 2007 year to date.the first quarter of 2007. Net interest income increased by 10.9%$6.6 million or 12.0% to $59.4$61.5 million for the first three months ended September 30, 2007 from $53.6of 2008 compared to $54.9 million for the same period in 2006.2007. The large increase in net interest income for 2008 compared to 2007 was due to the acquisition of Vision Bank. Park acquired Vision Bank contributed $7.7 millionon March 9, 2007 and as a result only 23 days of net interest income duringwas included in the thirdfirst quarter which represents a reduction in Vision’s contribution from the second quarter by $0.6 million. This reduction in Vision’sof 2007. Vision Bank generated net interest income while loan balancesof $6.85 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.1 million for the partial first quarter of 2007. Excluding Vision Bank, net interest income increased by $1.8 million or 3.4% to $54.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $52.8 million for the first quarter of 2007.
The tax equivalent net interest margin (annualized tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) was 4.19% for the first quarter of 2008 and 4.31% for the first quarter of 2007. The tax equivalent net interest margin for Vision Bank was 3.60% for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 5.11% for the first quarter of 2007. Excluding Vision Bank, the tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.28% for both the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2007.
The large decline in the net interest margin of Vision Bank for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the large increase in non-accrualnonaccrual loans. For loans which are placed on nonaccrual status, it is Park’s policy to reverse interest previously accrued on the loan against interest income. Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash basis and the resulting write-offis included in earnings only when actually received in cash and when full payment of $403,000principal is no longer doubtful. At March 31, 2008, Vision Bank’s nonaccrual loans were $59.0 million or 8.87% of accrued interest income during the third quarter. Vision’s contribution was also reduced by $1.4total loans, compared to $6.9 million dueor 1.16% of total loans at March 31, 2007. Excluding Vision Bank, nonaccrual loans were $46.6 million or 1.30% of total loans at March 31, 2008, compared to the interest expense pertaining to cash paid and debt assumed$27.4 million or .78% of total loans at the time of the acquisition. Without Vision, net interest income would have decreased by $440,000, or 0.8%.March 31, 2007.

Management provided guidance in Park’s 2007 Annual Report that net interest bearing depositsincome for 2008 would be approximately $240 to $242 million, the tax equivalent net interest margin would be approximately 4.10% and that average interest earning assets for the thirdyear would be approximately $5,900 million.
The actual results for the first quarter 2007 comparedof 2008 were better than management’s guidance. Net interest income was $61.5 million, which annualized would be about $246 to the same period in 2006 would have been 37 basis points, which came from a blend of both interest paying demand accounts and certificates of deposits.
Average total borrowings increased by $162 million or 18.8% to $1,020$247 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $858 million for the same period in 2006. The average cost of these borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 4.51% compared to 4.35% for the same period in 2006.

Management did not anticipate having the opportunity to purchase U.S. Government Agency securities at an average yield of 4.90% during the first quarter of 2008 and funding the purchases with a borrowing rate of below 3.00%. The most recent projection by management indicates that net interest income divided byfor 2008 will be between $247 to $250 million. The tax equivalent net interest margin is forecast to be approximately 4.15% for 2008 and average interest earning assets) decreased by 16 basis pointsassets are projected to 4.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 4.33% for the same quarter in 2006.

Retained earnings decreased by $2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 due to: (i) the net income of $23.0 million, (ii) the declaration of dividends of $13.1 million, (iii) $11.6 million booked as a reduction to retained earnings for the adoption of EITF 06-04 (see Note 12 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements), and (iv) recording the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 for $.3 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) increased by $13 million to $11 million at March 31, 2008.

The increase or decrease in the investment securities portfolio and short-term borrowings and long-term debt is greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations is not sufficient to do so.
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 64.12%62.7% at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 compared to 63.62%65.0% at December 31, 20062007 and 62.86%64.8% at September 30, 2006.March 31, 2007.

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is generally not included in computing regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 7.64%7.10% at September 30, 2007March 31, 2008 and 9.96%7.10% at December 31, 2006.2007.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 3632 of Park’s 20062007 Annual Report to Shareholders (Table 12) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2006.
As described2007. There were no significant changes in Note 2contractual obligations and commitments during the first quarter of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q, Park completed its acquisition of Vision on March 9, 2007. An estimated purchase obligation of $90.4 million was included in Table 12 on page 36 of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders for this transaction. This obligation was paid to the shareholders of Vision as part of the closing of the acquisition. Park assumed the obligations of Vision as part of the transaction. See page 21 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of the deposit liabilities and borrowings of Vision Bank at September 30, 2007.2008.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
All of the subsidiary banks of Park are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their respective customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.
The exposure to credit loss (for the subsidiary banks of Park) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Park (and all of its subsidiary banks) uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extended loan commitments to customers.

-36-


The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:
                
(In Thousands) September 30, 2007 December 31, 2006 March 31, 2008 December 31, 2007
Loan Commitments $1,008,745 $824,412  $983,215 $995,775 
Unused Credit Card lines $138,170 $140,100  133,002 132,242 
Standby Letters of Credit $29,460 $19,687  29,801 30,009 

-37-


The large increase in loan commitments is primarily due to the acquisition of Vision. Vision Bank is included in the September 30, 2007 amounts. The loan commitments are generally for variable rates of interest.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis by modeling the financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on pages 3531 and 3632 of Park’s 20062007 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated by reference into Park’s 20062007 Form 10-K.
On page 3531 (Table 11) of Park’s 20062007 Annual Report to Shareholders, management reported that Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a negative (liabilitiespositive (assets exceeding assets) $396liabilities) $178 million or 7.92%3.0% of interest earning assets at December 31, 2006.2007. At JulyMarch 31, 2007,2008, Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap decreased to a negative (liabilities exceeding assets) $28$36 million or 0.50%0.58% of interest earning assets. The most significant factor contributing to this change in sensitivity gap was the changepurchase of $360 million in twelve month repricing assumptions on core deposits. Specifically savings account deposits whereinvestment securities during the repricing assumption changed from 50% of the balances to 10% of the balances within twelve months. Had these assumptions not changed, the cumulativequarter, which were funded with rate sensitivity gap would have been a negative $245 million or 4.32% of earning assets. In addition, contributing to the reduction in the negative twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap of $368 million, was the acquisition of Vision, as Vision had a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap position.sensitive borrowings.
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve month horizon.
On page 3632 of Park’s 20062007 Annual Report to Shareholders, management reported that at December 31, 2006, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 0.1% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 0.7% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At July 31, 2007, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 0.3%0.2% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 1.3%0.6% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At February 29, 2008, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 0.5% using a rising interest rate scenario and increase by 0.5% using a declining interest rate scenario. The primary reason for the change in the simulation results from year-end 2006 to JulyAt March 31, 2007 is due to the acquisition of Vision. At September 30, 2007,2008, management continues to believe that gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that:
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007,March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.

PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
There are no pending legal proceedings to which Park or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject, except for routine legal proceedings to which Park’s subsidiary banks are parties incidental to their respective banking business. Park considers none of those proceedings to be material.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20062007 (the “2006“2007 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The following information updates certain of our risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in the 20062007 Form 10-K. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described below or in the 20062007 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Wemay face risks and uncertainties as we convert our Ohio-based community banking subsidiaries and divisions to one operating system and combine their charters.
On July 30, 2007, we announced our intention to consolidate the banking operations of our eight subsidiary banks located in Ohio under one charter — that of The Park National Bank, which will remain a national bank.  In addition, we will create a single operating system for our 12 Ohio-based community banking subsidiaries and divisions, which will operate as divisions of The Park National Bank.  Each community bank division will retain its local leadership, local decision-making and unique local identity.  We anticipate that a single charter and common operating system will ease complex reporting procedures, reduce time and money spent on duplicated efforts, enhance risk management and strengthen each bank’s ability to provide more rapid responses and high-quality services.  As we proceed with the combination of charters and conversions to one operation system, we will face risks and uncertainties which must be addressed. These risks and uncertainties include, but may not be limited to: (1) the timing of receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals for the consolidation, which may be different than we anticipate; (2) difficulties we may encounter in the consolidation of the charters of our eight Ohio-based subsidiary banks with respect to product offerings, customer service, customer retention, reporting and enterprise risk management systems and realizing the anticipated operating efficiencies; and (3)  the loss of key employees as we proceed with the consolidation.

Changes in economic and political conditions could adversely affect our earnings, as our borrowers’ ability to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing our loans decline.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. The substantial majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries are to individuals and businesses in Ohio or in Gulf Coast communities in Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Consequently, a significant continued decline in the economy in Ohio or in Gulf Coast communities in Alabama or the panhandle of Florida could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

As disclosed earlier within this Form 10-Q, we have experienced deterioratingcontinue to experience difficult credit conditions in the Ohio, Alabama, and Florida markets in which we operate. Net loan charge-offs were 0.56%0.82% and 0.11%0.25% as a percentage of average loans on an annualized basis for the thirdfirst quarter 20072008 and 2006,2007, respectively. Net loans charge-offs for Vision Bank were $2.3$5.5 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2007.2008. Nonperforming loans, defined as loans that are 90 days past due, nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, were $66.2$111.3 million or 1.58%2.62% of loans at September 30, 2007 and $29.0March 31, 2008, $108.5 million or 0.85%2.57% of loans at September 30, 2006.December 31, 2007 and $40.6 million or 0.99% of loans at March 31, 2007. Nonaccrual loans have increased by $42.0were $105.6 million during the first nine months of 2007, $22.7at March 31, 2008, with $59.0 million of the increase came in the third quarter.coming from Vision Bank added $18.2 million of commercial loans to its nonaccrual loans during the third quarter, bringing its total nonaccrual commercial loans to $24.5 million.Bank. It is uncertain when the negative credit trends in our markets (and nationally) will reverse and therefore, Park’s future earnings are susceptible to further declining credit conditions in the markets in which we operate.

-40-


We have no prior operating experience in the Alabama and Florida markets in which Vision Bank operates.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we and our subsidiaries operated 154 offices across 29 Ohio counties, one office in Kentucky, eight offices in one Alabama county and ten offices across four Florida counties. Park’s merger with Vision, which was effective as of 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 9, 2007, resulted in the expansion of our banking operations into the Alabama and Florida markets served by the two Vision Banks – one headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama (“Vision Alabama”) and the other in Panama City, Florida (“Vision Florida”). Effective July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were consolidated under a single charter through the merger of Vision Alabama with and into Vision Florida, under the charter of Vision Florida. The resulting financial institution is a Florida state-chartered bank operating under the name “Vision Bank” or “Vision”. We have no prior operating experience in these markets and, therefore, have relied and will continue to rely to a large extent on the existing Boards of Directors and management of Vision Bank with respect to their operations. We, together with Vision Bank, have entered into employment agreements with the following executive officers of Vision Bank: J. Daniel Sizemore, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vision; William E. Blackmon, Executive Vice President and Regional President of Vision Bank; Andrew W. Braswell, Executive Vice President and Senior Lending Officer of Vision; Joey W. Ginn, President of Vision Bank; and Robert S. McKean, Executive Vice President; as well as seven other senior officers of Vision. Each of these employment agreements, which became effective at the effective time of the merger, continues the executive officer’s or employee’s employment relationship with Vision Bank, after the effective time of the merger for at least a three-year term. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain the services of these executive officers and employees of Vision, or that we will be able to successfully manage the operations of the Vision in the Alabama and Florida markets. Furthermore, on November 1, 2007, J. Daniel Sizemore and William E. Blackmon submitted their formal resignations to the Board of Directors of Vision Bank and Park, to be effective November 30, 2007, in order to pursue opportunities with another bank headquartered in western Alabama. The market in which the bank in western Alabama operates does not overlap nor compete with the markets that Vision Bank currently serves. Pursuant to their employment agreements dated September 14, 2006, Mr. Sizemore and Mr. Blackmon have voluntarily terminated their employment, and as a result, there will be no severance payments from Vision Bank or Park. Mr. Sizemore and Mr. Blackmon will be entitled to any unpaid base salary, the value of any accrued but unpaid vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses, all as of the date of termination or employment. In addition, they will be entitled to any rights and benefits (if any) provided under plans and programs of Vision Bank (including the salary continuation agreements entered into July 14, 2004 (and amended by first amendments entered into June 26, 2006 and second amendments entered into June 1, 2007) with Vision Bank), determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such plans and programs. We believe that we can maintain our focus in the Florida and Alabama markets and that the remaining management team of Vision Bank is qualified to carry out our existing Vision strategy.
