Note 1 –Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park National Corporation (the(sometimes also referred to as the “Registrant”) and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Park", “Corporation”, “Company”,the "Corporation" or “Park”)the "Company" and similar terms mean Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three and ninemonth periodperiods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of comprehensive income, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 from Park’s 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders (“2011 Annual Report”).

Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2011 Annual Report. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period. Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date, determining no events require additional disclosure in these consolidated condensed financial statements, with the exception of the subsequent events discussed in Note 20 of these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

statements.

Note 2 –Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

No. 2011-04 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs: In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs(ASU (ASU 2011-04). The new guidance in this ASU results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Certain amendments clarify FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. These amendments also enhance disclosure requirements surrounding fair value measurement. Most significantly, an entity is required to disclose additional information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements including quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance on January 1, 2012 impacted the fair value disclosures in Note 16.

No. 2011-05 – Presentation of Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). The ASU eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the new guidance impacted the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-08 –Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: In September 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASU 2011-08). The ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests

performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not expect theThe adoption of this guidance willdid not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-12 Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05: In December 2011,FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12,Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). This ASU defers only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. Entities are to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this ASU.


No. 2012-02 Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment: In July 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). The ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Promptly following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Vision surrendered its Florida banking charter to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and became a non-bank Florida corporation (the “Florida Corporation”). The Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned, non-bank subsidiary of Park, SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SE LLC”SEPH”), with SE LLCSEPH being the surviving entity.


As part of the transaction between Vision and Centennial, Park agreed to allow Centennial to “put back” up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans, which were originally included within the loans sold in the transaction. The loan put option expired on August 16, 2012, 180 days after the closing of the transaction, which was February 16, 2012. Prior to August 16, 2012, Centennial notified Park of its intent to put back approximately $7.5 million. Through September 30, 2012, Centennial had put back thirty-nine loans, totaling approximately $6.4 million. These thirty-nine loans were recorded on the books at a fair value of $3.9 million. The difference of $2.5 million was written off against the loan put liability that had previously been established in the first half of 2012. The balance of this liability account as of September 30, 2012 was $810,000 and is expected to cover the write downs on the remaining $1.1 million of loans repurchased, which will be finalized in October 2012.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is included in the tables above. Generally, Park considers loans 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of

18


loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the respective loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 44.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

The tables below present the recorded investment by loan grade at March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for all commercial loans:

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of itsthe borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. Certain loans which were modified during the period ended March 31,September 30, 2012 did not meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

At March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $98.6$86.8 million and $100.4$100.4 million, respectively, of TDRs included in nonaccrual loan totals. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $34.6$31.5 million and $28.7$28.7 million, respectively, of TDRs included in accruing loan totals. At March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 $52.8, $60.5 million and $79.9$79.9 million of the nonaccrual TDRs were current. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain of the loans back to accrual status in the future. At March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Park had commitments to lend $5.1$4.1 million and $4.0$4.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose terms had been modified in a TDR.

The specific reserve related to TDRs at March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $4.4$5.5 million and $9.1$9.1 million, respectively. Modifications made in 2011 and 2012 were largely the result of renewals, extending the maturity date of the loan, at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under ASC 310.  Additional specific reserves of $252,000$167,000 and $1.2 million were recorded during the periodthree month and nine month periods ending March 31,September 30, 2012, respectively, as a result of TDRs identified in the 2012 year.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the threenine month period ended March 31,September 30, 2012 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Modified substandard commercial loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of March 31,September 30, 2012 of $3.6 million.$2.1 million. The modification of these loans: (1) involved a modification of the terms of a loan to a borrower who was not experiencing financial difficulties, (2) resulted in a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant, or (3) resulted in Park obtaining additional collateral or guarantees that improved the likelihood of the ultimate collection of the loan such that the modification was deemed to be at market terms.  Modified consumer loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of March 31,September 30, 2012 of $6.3 million.$20.5 million. Many of these loans were modified as a lower cost option than a full refinancing to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties.

difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.


During the third quarter, as a result of guidance from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), $10.3 million of consumer loans were identified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") whereby the borrower's obligation to PNB has been discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt. These newly identified TDRs are included in the current year modified loan totals below.

The following table detailstables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three and ninemonth periodperiods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 as well as the period end recorded investment of these contracts.contracts at September 30, 2012. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same.

Note 6 –Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is that amount management believes is 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 as discussed within Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2011 Annual Report.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and March 31,September 30, 2011 is summarized below.

primarily due to the the following:


The sale of the Vision business on February 16, 2012. As of September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses at Vision was $41.5 million. With the sale of the Vision business, all specific reserves established for impaired loans were charged off. Additionally, all general reserves related to performing loans retained by Vision were charged off.

Improvements in the credit quality of the Park Ohio commercial loan portfolio.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment abovein the following tables include all performing loans at March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans at March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2011 Annual Report).

As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, options to purchase 66,62565,175 and 75,89574,570 common shares, respectively, were outstanding under Park’s 2005 Incentive Stock OpionOption Plan. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding at both March 31, 2012 andSeptember 30, 2011 as a result of Park’s participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (“CPP.”) Park repurchased the CPP warrant on May 2, 2012. In addition, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 71,98435,992 common shares were outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2011 as a result of the issuance of common shares and warrants to purchase common shares on December 10, 2010 (the “December 2010 Warrants”). The December 2010 Warrants expired in 2011, with no warrants being exercised.

The common shares represented by the options and the December 2010 Warrants totaling a weighted average of 73,68368,628 and 149,591133,343 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the respective exercise prices exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares issued under the CPP was not included in the three month weighted averagecomputation of 73,683diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 149,591 for and 2011, as the dilutive effect of this warrant was 11,8353,284 and 4,4901,722 common shares for the threenine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and March 31,September 30, 2011, respectively. The exercise price of the CPP warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares is $65.97.

was
$65.97.

Note 8 –Segment Information

The Corporation is a bank holding company headquartered in Newark, Ohio. Prior to February 16, 2012, the operating segments for the Corporation were its two chartered bank subsidiaries, The Park National Bank (headquartered in Newark, Ohio) (“PNB”) and Vision Bank (“VB” or “Vision”) (headquartered in Panama City, Florida). On February 16, 2012, Vision sold certain assets and liabilities to Centennial Bank (see Note 3). Promptly following the closing of the transaction, Vision surrendered its Florida banking charter to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and became a non-bank Florida corporation (the “Florida Corporation”). The Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned non-bank subsidiary of Park, SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SE LLC”SEPH”), with SE LLCSEPH being the surviving entity. The closing of this transaction prompted Park to add SE LLCSEPH as a reportable segment. Additionally, due to the increased significance of the entity, Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) was added as a reportable segment during the first quarter of 2012.

Management is required to disclose information about the different types of business activities in which a company engages and also information on the different economic environments in which a company operates, so that the users of the financial statements can better understand the company’s performance, better understand the potential for future cash flows, and make more informed judgments about the company as a whole. Park has three operating segments, as: (i) discrete financial information is available for each operating segment and (ii) the segments are aligned with internal reporting to Park’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker.

Note 14 –Derivative Instruments

FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated condensed balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivativesa derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative 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 derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, with any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative 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 an interest rate swap to hedge a $25$25 million floating-rate subordinated note that was issued 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, and has been designated as a cash flow hedge.

At March 31,September 30, 2012, the interest rate swap’s fair value of $(700,000)$(229,000) was included in other liabilities. No hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.September 30, 2012. At March 31,September 30, 2012, the variable rate on the $25$25 million subordinated note was 2.47%2.36% (3-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points) and Park was paying 6.01% (4.01% (4.01% fixed rate on the interest rate swap plus 200 basis points).

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap reported in other comprehensive income was a gain of $113,000$401,000 (net of taxes of $60,000)$216,000). Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.


32


As of March 31,September 30, 2012, 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.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, Park had mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments outstanding of approximately $16.0 million.$40.5 million. Park has specific forward contracts to sell each of these loans to a third-party investor. These loan commitments represent derivative instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The derivative instruments used are not designated as hedges under U.S. GAAP. At March 31,September 30, 2012, the fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $169,000.$607,000. The fair value of the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the corresponding income is included within non-yield loan fee income. Gains and losses resulting from expected sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loan contract is entered into between the borrower, Park, and the third-party investor. The fair value of Park’s mortgage interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) is based on current secondary market pricing.

In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during the 2009, year, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At March 31,September 30, 2012, the fair value of the swap liability of $135,000 is$135,000 was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

losses and consideration of the Visa settlement agreement announced on July 13, 2012 to resolve the Federal Multi-District Interchange Litigation.

Note 15 –Loan Servicing

Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.30$1.30 billion at March 31,September 30, 2012, compared to $1.35$1.35 billion at December 31, 2011 and $1.44$1.41 billion at March 31, 2011.September 30, 2011. At March 31,September 30, 2012 $22.6, $19.1 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse compared to $34.1$30.6 million at March 31, 2011.September 30, 2011. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At March 31,September 30, 2012, management determined that no liability was deemed necessary for these loans.

When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park selected the “amortization method” as permissible within GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income of the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value.

Note 16 –Fair Value

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:

§Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park 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” 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 and similar inputs.


Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park 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” 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 and similar inputs.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to 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 traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data 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 typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2012 or 2011.2011. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs.

inputs as of the end of the reporting period.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:

Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The Fair Value Measurements tables exclude Park’s Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These assets are carried at their respective redemption values, as it is not practicable to calculate their fair values. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, which include municipal securities, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows.

Interest rate swap: The fair value of the interest rate swap represents the estimated amount Park would pay or receive to terminate the agreement, considering current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparty.

Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs):IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value.Mortgagevalue. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis described below:

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonlygenerally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using, (1) an appraisal, (2) net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or (3) aging reports. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated valuations are obtained annually for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are two types of appraisals, real estate appraisals and lot development loan appraisals, received by the Company. These are discussed below:

·Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.
·Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.

MSRs:MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.MSRsvalue. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds utilized. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for assets and liabilities not discussed above:

Cash and cash equivalents:The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balancesheetsbalancesheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans receivable:For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Off-balance sheet instruments:Fair values for the Corporation’s loan commitments and standby letters of credit are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The carrying amount and fair value are not material.

Deposit liabilities:The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed ratefixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Short-term borrowings:The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt:Fair values for long-term debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on long-term debt to a schedule of monthly maturities.

Subordinated debentures and notes:Fair values for subordinated debentures and notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rate spreads currently being offered on similar debt structures to a schedule of monthly maturities.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) 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. We have tried, whenever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current 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. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation: deterioration in the asset value of Park's loan portfolio may be worse than expected due to a number of factors, such as adverse changes in economic conditions that impair the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, the underlying value of the collateral could prove less valuable than assumed and cash flows may be worse than expected; Park's ability to sell OREO properties at prices as favorable as anticipated; Park's ability to execute its business plan successfully and within the expected timeframe; general economic and financial market conditions, and weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate market and the credit market, either nationally or in the states in which Park and its subsidiaries do business, may be worse than expected which could decrease the demand for loan, deposit and other financial services and increase loan delinquencies and defaults; changes in interest rates and prices may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our consolidated balance sheet; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in unemployment; asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks; our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities; competitive factors among financial service organizations increase significantly, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified bank professionals; the nature, timing and effect of changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries, including changes in laws and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, banking, securities and other aspects of the financial services industry, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), as well as future regulations which will be adopted by the relevant regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the SEC and NYSE MKT LLC, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements; the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government; the costs and effects of regulatory and legal developments, including the outcome of potential regulatory or other governmental inquiries and legal proceedings and results of regulatory examinations; the adequacy of our risk management program; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; 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 (“SEC”) 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, 2011.2011 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 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders (“2011 Annual Report”) 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 (GAAP) and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 believes the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment 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

44


current economic conditions. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the 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 current economic conditions. All of these 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 in future periods. (Refer to the “Provision“Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses” section within this MD&A for additional discussion.)

Other real estate owned (“OREO”), property acquired through foreclosure, is recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value). If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan on the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within other income. Gains or losses not previously recognized, resulting from the sale of OREO, are recognized in other income on the date of sale. At March 31,September 30, 2012, OREO totaled $42.0$35.6 million, representing a 0.7%15.8% decrease compared to $42.3 million at December 31, 2011. The $300,000$6.7 million net decrease in OREO during the first threenine months of 2012 was a result of $5.0$16.4 million in new OREO offset by sales of $3.9$18.7 million and devaluations of $1.4$4.4 million.

U.S. GAAP requires management to establish a fair value hierarchy, which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. U.S. GAAP 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 these inputs could be based on internal models and cash flow analyses.analysis. At March 31,September 30, 2012, the fair value of assets based on Level 3 inputs for Park was approximately $126.0$90.6 million. This was 11.0%7.8% of the total amount of assets measured at fair value as of the end of the firstthird quarter. The fair value of impaired loans was approximately $83.3$56.4 million (or 66.1%60.8%) of the total amount of Level 3 inputs. Additionally, there were $86.5$80.3 million of loans that were impaired and carried at cost, as fair value exceeded book value for each individual credit. 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 through 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 judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill. 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 Ohio-based banking subsidiary, The Park National Bank (“PNB”) to provide quality, cost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value 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, the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Park’s most recent evaluation was completed during the second quarter of 20112012 and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry comparable information. At March 31,September 30, 2012, on a consolidated basis, Park had core deposit intangibles of $755,000$476,000 subject to amortization and $72.3 million of goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization. Please see Note 4 –Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on intangible assets.

Comparison of Results of Operations

For the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011

Summary Discussion of Results

Net income for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 was $31.5$12.0 million compared to $22.2$20.4 million for the firstthird quarter of 2011, an increasea decrease of $9.3$8.4 million or 41.9%41.2%. Net income available to common shareholders (which is net of preferred stock dividends and accretion) was $30.0$12.0 million for the firstthird quarter of 2012 compared to $20.7$18.9 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2011, an increasea decrease of $9.3$6.9 million or 44.9%36.5%. Preferred stock dividends and the related accretion of the discount on the preferred stock, pertaining to the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008, were $1.48 millionzero for the firstthird quarter of 2012 and $1.46 million for the same quarter in 2011. On April 25, 2012, Park repurchased the $100 million in Series A Preferred Shares issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program. As a result of this repurchase, Park recorded a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding reduction to net income available to common shareholders of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were significantly impacted by a $13.0 million charge-off (with a loan loss provision of the same amount) related to a single loan relationship held by SE Property Holdings, LLC ("SEPH"), a non-bank subsidiary of Park. The Park National Bank ("PNB") also holds a participation interest in this loan relationship. As a result of continued delays in the expected repayment of the loan relationship and additional information received during the third quarter of 2012, including recent events that raised concern about the collectability of this receivable, Park's management determined that it was appropriate for SEPH and PNB to charge-down the loan relationship by an amount of $13.0 million ($10.5 million at SEPH and $2.5 million at PNB), in the aggregate (with a loan loss provision of the same amount). Through the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total charge-offs at SEPH and PNB related to this loan relationship (with a loan loss provision for the same amount) totaled approximately $12.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Diluted earnings per common share were $0.78 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.23 for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.45 per share or 36.6%. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,405,894 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 15,398,909 diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 6,985 diluted common shares or 0.05%.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $62.3 million compared to $71.5 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $9.2 million or 12.9%. Net income available to common shareholders was $58.9 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $67.1 million for the same period of 2011, a decrease of $8.2 million or 12.2%. Preferred stock dividends and the related accretion of the discount on the Series A Preferred Shares issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008, were $3.43 million for the first nine months of 2012 and $4.4 million for the first nine months of 2011. The results for the first quarternine months of 2012 and 2011 include the gain from the sale of the Vision Bank business of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax) and the gains resulting from the sale of investment securities of $6.6$25.5 million ($4.316.6 million after-tax), respectively.

Diluted earnings per common share were $1.95$3.82 for the first quarternine months of 2012 compared to $1.35$4.36 for the first quartersame period in 2011, a decrease of 2011, an increase of $0.60$0.54 per share or 44.4%12.4%. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,417,74515,409,186 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 compared to 15,403,42015,400,641 diluted common shares for the first quarternine months of 2011, an increase of 14,3258,545 diluted common shares or 0.09%0.06%.

SE LLCSEPH. SEPH also holds other real estate owned (“OREO”) that had previously been transferred to SE LLCSEPH from Vision. Net income for SE LLCSEPH reported a net loss for the first quarternine months of 2012 was $9.1of $7.9 million, which included the gain on the sale of the Vision business.

business discussed above.


Sale of Vision Bank Business

On February 16, 2012, Park completed the purchase and assumption transaction between Park, Home BancShares, Inc. (“Home”) and their respective subsidiary banks. Home subsidiary Centennial Bank (“Centennial”) purchased certain assets and liabilities of Vision for a purchase price of $27.9 million. Centennial purchased performing loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $354 million, assumed ownership or operation of all 17 Vision office locations, and assumed deposit liabilities of approximately $520 million. Certain other miscellaneous assets and liabilities were also purchased by Centennial.

The remaining assets and liabilities were retained by Vision.

As a result of the transaction, Park recorded a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million (after actual expenses directly related to the transaction). TheAs part of the transaction also decreased Park’s total assets duringbetween Vision and Centennial, Park agreed to allow Centennial to "put back" up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans, which were originally included within the first quarterloans sold in the transaction. Refer to the "Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses" section for additional discussion of 2012. As of March 31, 2012, Park had total assets of $6.8 billion, compared to $7.0 billion at December 31, 2011 and $7.3 billion at March 31, 2011.

The $139 million (3.32%) increase in loans experienced at PNB through the first nine months of 2012 is primarily related to (1) othercontinued demand in the mortgage loan portfolio, which has increased by $98.4 million. Of the $98.4 million increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, approximately $96.8 million of the increase is associated with our decision to retain a portion of the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages originated by PNB rather than selling them in the secondary market. As noted above, PNB's allowance for loan losses has declined by $10.6 million, or 16.67%, to $53.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $63.8 million at September 30, 2011. The decline in PNB's allowance for loan losses is due to continued improvement in the credit metrics across the PNB loan portfolio, as well as declines in specific reserves established for impaired commercial loans. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses” section below for additional information regarding the improvements in the credit metrics of PNB's loan portfolio.

In the 2011 Annual Report, management stated that GFSC was expected to make net income atof $3.0 million in 2012. Management's latest guidance for 2012 reflects a slight increase in net income for GFSC to approximately $3.7 million. This improvement is the result of an anticipated lower provision for loan losses based on credit analysis performed by GFSC's management.

In the 2011 Annual Report, management projected net income of $1 million for the Parent Company, Vision through February 16, 2012 and (2) otherSEPH. Typically, we expect the Park Parent Company will perform around breakeven. Management's most recent projection shows net income of $0.3 million for 2012.

The net interest income for Park's parent company includes interest income on loans to SEPH and on subordinated debt investments with PNB, which are eliminated in the consolidated totals for the Corporation. Additionally, net interest income includes interest expense associatedrelated to the $35.25 million and $30 million of subordinated notes issued by Park in December 2009 and April 2012, respectively.

breakeven. As such, management expected net income of approximately $1 million for the combined operations of Vision through February 16, 2012 and SEPH throughout the 2012 year. Management's most recent projection for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012combined SEPH / Vision is a net loss of $12.0 million for 2012. The decline in projected net interest income is primarily due to be within the range of $235 million to $245 million. See more information in the section called “Guidance on Net Interest Income for 2012”.

Theincreased provision for loan losses forand other expense at SEPH through the first nine months of 2012.


As previously discussed, the $12.3 million loan loss provision at SEPH in the third quarter of 2012 was $9.0 million.largely related to a single loan relationship held by SEPH. PNB also holds a participation interest in this loan relationship. The majority of this loan relationship is secured by a significant third party receivable. Information obtained during the third quarter of 2012 raised concern about the collectibility of these accounts receivable and led to the charge down. However, the remaining loans at SEPH are generally fully secured by either real estate or personal property and have been previously written down (as needed) to the fair value of the underlying real estate or personal property determined by recent appraisals.

On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair market value and no allowance for loan loss provisionhas been or will be carried at SEPH. The loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios have been charged down to their fair value.

In the 2011 Annual Report.Report, management stated that Park was expected to make net income of approximately $97 million in 2012. Management's latest projection for 2012 reflects net income for Park of approximately $81 million. The provisiondecline of $16 million is due to worse than expected results at SEPH and the continued low interest rate environment, resulting in a lower projection for loan losses was $4.1 million at SE LLC, which was higher than management anticipated for the first quarter of 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, management reappraised approximately half of the collateral related to nonperforming loans held at SE LLC, which led to some charge-offs and a corresponding increase in the loan loss provision. See the section called “Provision for Loan Losses” for more information.

In December 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve lowered the targeted federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25% in response to a severe recession in the U.S. economy. Economic conditions began to improve in the second half of 2009 and continued to improve modestly throughout 2010 and 2011. The modest economic recovery has continued during the first threenine months of 2012, but uncertainty regarding the U.S. "fiscal cliff", overseas sovereign debt crisis and financial industry regulations continue to hold back any kind of meaningful recovery. The Federal Reserve implemented a third round of quantitative easing during the third quarter of 2012 to further reduce long term interest rates and help support a still significantly distressed U.S. housing market continues to be significantly depressed and the U.S. unemployment rate continues to be relatively high at 8.2% as of March 31, 2012.

The decline in general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans from 1.27% at December 31, 2011 to 1.13% at September 30, 2012 is primarily due to the elimination of general reserves held against the retained Vision performing loans that are held at SEPH and improving credit trends in the commercial loan portfolios have beenportfolio for Park's Ohio operations (PNB and GFSC). At December 31, 2011, Vision had general reserves of approximately $1.85 million, which were established to cover incurred losses on the retained performing loans following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial. Upon completion of the sale of the Vision business and prior to the merger of Vision with and into SEPH on February 16, 2012, all retained loans (performing and nonperforming) were charged down to their fair value, as notedresulting in a $1.85 million decline in Park's general reserves.

The commercial loan table above demonstrates the improvement experienced over the last nine months in Park's Ohio commercial portfolio. Pass rated commercial loans have grown $45.6 million, or 2.14% (2.86% annualized) since December 2011. Over this period, special mention loans have declined by $16.3 million, or 24.7% and substandard loans have declined by $9.2 million, or 31.2%. These improved credit metrics in the special mention and substandard categories of the commercial loan portfolio have a significant impact on the general reserves that are established to cover incurred losses on performing commercial loans. As these metrics have improved over the past nine months, general reserves for special mention and substandard loans declined from $7.8 million at December 31, 2011 to $5.1 million at September 30, 2012. This decline of $2.7 million represents a significant portion of the overall $4.5 million decline in overall general reserves.

Delinquent and accruing loan trends for Park's Ohio-based operations have also improved over the past nine months. Delinquent and accruing loans were $33.4 million or 0.77% of total loans at September 30, 2012, compared to $40.1 million (0.96%) at December 31, 2011.

Impaired commercial loans for Park's Ohio-based operations have decreased to $92.6 million as of September 30, 2012, a decline of $2.5 million from the $95.1 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2011. Impaired commercial loans are individually evaluated for impairment and specific reserves are established or charge-offs are recognized to cover incurred losses.

During the first nine months of 2012, new nonaccrual loans were $64.2 million. These new nonaccruals were down significantly from the total level of new nonaccrual loans experienced in the previous four years and management expects this will continue throughout 2012. The following table below:

As part of the transaction between Vision and Centennial, Park agreed to allow Centennial to “put back” up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans, which were originally included within the loans sold in the transaction. The loan put-backput option expires 180 daysexpired on August 16, 2012, six months after the closing of the transaction, onwhich was February 16, 2012. Prior to the August 16, 2012. While it remains uncertain the total principal amount2012 expiration, Centennial notified Park of loans which may beits intent to put back by Centennial andapproximately $7.5 million. Through September 30, 2012, Park completed the potential loss exposurerepurchase of thirty-nine loans, totaling approximately $6.4 million. These thirty-nine loans were recorded on the books at an estimated fair value of $3.9 million. The difference of $2.5 million was written off against the loan put liability that may be recognizedhad previously been established in connection with any loans repurchased,the first half of 2012. Park recorded a loan loss provision of $662,000 in respectcompleted the repurchase of the Centennial put-back option during the first quarterremaining five loans, totaling approximately $1.1 million, in October 2012.

Park management reviews all troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) quarterly and may classify a TDR as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. At March 31,September 30, 2012, management deemed it appropriate to have $34.4$31.4 million of TDRs on accrual status, while the remaining $98.6$86.8 million of TDRs were on nonaccrual status. Management also reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

When determining the quarterly loan loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 44.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Generally, commercial loans that are graded a 6 are considered for partial charge-off. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, Park had taken partial charge-offs of approximately $108.3$117.5 million related to the $179.3$142.3 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately $103.8 million related to the $187.1 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2011. The table below provides additional information related to the Park impaired commercial loans at March 31,September 30, 2012, including those impaired commercial loans at PNB and those impaired Vision commercial loans retained at SE LLC.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to commercial loans classified as “special mention” or “substandard.” “Special mention” loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that may result in loss exposure to Park. “Substandard” loans are those that exhibit a well defined weakness, jeopardizing repayment of the loan, resulting in a higher probability that Park will suffer a loss on the loan unless the weakness is corrected. Park’s annualized 36-month loss experience for the period ended December 31, 2011, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, within the commercial loan portfolio has been 0.71%0.78% of the principal balance of these loans. This annualized 36-month loss experience includes only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $36.4$33.1 million or 1.64%1.47% of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing commercial loans at March 31,September 30, 2012.

The overall reserve of 1.64%1.47% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.35%1.29%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 4.66%4.52%; and substandard commercial loans are reserved at 21.77%10.36%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 36-month loss experience of 0.71%0.78% are due to the following factors which management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

§Loss Emergence Period Factor:Annually during the fourth quarter, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes a credit to move from pass-rated to non - accrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio.

§Loss Migration Factor:Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the past three year period, considering how each individual credit was rated at the beginning of the three year period.

§Environmental Loss Factor:Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlates to changes in the macroeconomic environment.

Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlates to changes in the macroeconomic environment.
Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based on historical loss experience over the past 36 months. Management generally considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”) appropriate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and underwriting standards, etc.). At March 31,September 30, 2012, the coverage period within the consumer portfolio was approximately 1.341.35 years.

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose additional risks and assignment of a component of the ALLL in consideration of these factors. 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; and levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this component of the ALLL requires considerable management judgment. Management continues to work to address weaknesses in those loans that may result in future loss. Actual loss experience may be more or less than the amount allocated.

On page 41 of Park’s 2011 Annual Report, management projected that the provision for loan losses would be within the range from $20 million to $27 million for 2012. While management expects thatThrough the first nine months of 2012, provision for loan losses was $30.2 million. Management's current projection for the provision for loan losses will be lower in each of the next three quarters compared to the first quarter of 2012, the projected rangeis approximately $35.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 has been increased. Management now expects the2012. Actual provision for loan losses willcould be withinmore or less than the range of $23 million to $30 million for 2012.

This increase was due to the acceleration of amortization expense at Vision for the period from January 1, 2012 through February 16, 2012, the closing date of the transaction between Vision and Centennial. Management expects amortization expense will be approximately $139,000 per quarter for the remainderfourth quarter of 2012.

Insurance expense declinedincreased by $779,000 million or 34.3%$727,000 to $1.5$1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 compared to $2.3$0.7 million for the same period in 2011.

The new methodology will resultloan put option expired on August 16, 2012, 180 days after the closing of the transaction, which was February 16, 2012. Through September 30, 2012, Centennial had put back thirty nine loans, totaling approximately $6.4 million. Park is expected to complete the repurchase of an additional $1.1 million in loans during the fourth quarter. Upon repurchase, Park is required to charge each of the repurchased loans down to its current fair value.

Management provided guidance in Park’s 2011 Annual Report (page 40) that total other expense would be approximately $170 to $175 million for 2012. Management’s latest projection for total other expense is unchanged from the guidance in Park’s 2011 Annual Report.

As shown in the table above, absent Vision, other expense would have been approximately $39.2 million per quarter in 2011. While SE LLCSEPH will continue to have other expense as Park management works through the retained loans and OREO, other expense at SE LLCSEPH is expected to be significantly lower than the average quarterly expense Vision expense recognized in 2011. The $18.2 million of other expense at SEPH during 2012 included approximately $3.7 million related to the loan put provision and certain operating expenses incurred through the completion of the system conversions associated with the sale of the Vision business. Management currently expects total other expense on a consolidated basis will be approximately $41 to $42 million quarterly throughout the remainder of 2012.

Income Tax

Federal income taxes were $13.1$44 million for the firstfourth quarter of 2012.


Income Tax
Federal income tax expense was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $8.3$6.7 million for the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, federal income tax expense was $21.1 million, compared to $27.1 million for the first quarternine months of 2011. The effective federal income tax rate for the firstthird quarter of 2012 was 29.3%12.9% compared to 27.3%24.7% for the same period in 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, the effective federal income tax rate was 25.3% compared to 27.5% for the same period in 2011. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% and Park’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on shares held within Park’s salary deferral plan. Park expects permanent tax differences for 2012 will be approximately $10 million.

The lower effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to lower pre-tax income associated with the significant charge-off and related loan loss provision associated with the single loan relationship at SEPH.

Park and its Ohio-based affiliates do not pay state income taxes to the state of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on year end equity. The franchise tax expense is included in “state taxes” as part of other expense on Park’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Management provided guidance in the 2011 Annual Report (page 40) that the effective federal income tax rate for 2012 would be approximately 26% to 28%, which is consistent with management’s most recent projection.

The accumulated other comprehensive loss increaseddecreased by $1.7$2.3 million during the first threenine months of 2012 to a loss of $10.5$6.6 million at March 31,September 30, 2012. The increaseThis decrease of $1.7$2.3 million in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was related to an unrealized net holding lossgain in the investment portfolio of $2.2$1.5 million, net of taxes, as a result of the mark-to-market adjustment at March 31,September 30, 2012, which was partially offset by (1)along with a $113,000$401,000 increase in the unrealized net holding gain on the cash flow hedge and (2) a $412,000 (net of tax) improvement to the funded status of the pension plan as a result inof the sale of the Vision business.

Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are 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 are 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 63.81%65.16% at March 31,September 30, 2012, compared to 61.92% at December 31, 2011 and 64.88%65.9% at March 31,September 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents were $161.1$281.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2012, compared to $157.5 million at December 31, 2011 and $134.2$272.1 million at March 31,September 30, 2011. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.

On a monthly basis, Park’s Treasury Department forecasts the financial statements for the next twelve months. The projected liquidity position for the Corporation is reviewed each month to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained. Management targets that the Corporation would have a minimum of $800$900 million of funds available to handle liquidity needs on a daily

basis. This $800$900 million liquidity “war chest” consists of currently available additional borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank, federal funds sold and unpledged U.S. Government Agency securities.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity at March 31,September 30, 2012 was $756$659 million, or 11.2%9.8% of total assets, compared to $742 million, or 10.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2011 and $730$755 million, or 10.0%10.6% of total assets, at March 31,September 30, 2011. Common equity, which is stockholders’ equity excluding the preferred stock, was $658$659 million at March 31,September 30, 2012, or 9.7%9.8% of total assets, compared to $644 million, or 9.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2011.

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 10.35%9.03% at March 31,September 30, 2012 and 9.81% at December 31, 2011. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 6%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 15.35%13.13% at March 31,September 30, 2012 and 14.15% at December 31, 2011. The minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 10%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was 17.92%16.32% at March 31,September 30, 2012 and 16.65% at December 31, 2011.

PNB met the well capitalized ratio guidelines at March 31,September 30, 2012. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at March 31,September 30, 2012.

On April 25, 2012, Park entered into a Letter Agreement with the U.S. Treasury (the “Preferred Shares Repurchase Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Park purchased from the U.S. Treasury all 100,000 of Park’s Series A Preferred Shares for a purchase price of $100 million plus final prorated accrued and unpaid dividends of $972,000. On May 2, 2012, Park entered into a second Letter Agreement with the U.S. Treasury (the “Warrant Repurchase Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Park purchased from the U.S. Treasury the Warrant to purchase 227,376 Park common shares (the “Warrant”) which had been issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008 in connection with Park’s sale to the U.S. Treasury of the Series A Preferred Shares. Park repurchased the Warrant for a purchase price of $2,842,400, or $12.50 per Park common share.

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 46 of Park’s 2011 Annual Report (Table 31) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2011. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first threenine months of 2012 other than in connection with the sale of the Vision business.

business and the sale of subordinated notes in April 2012.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

PNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its 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 consolidated financial statements.

The exposure to credit loss (for PNB) 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 PNB use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do 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 extending loan commitments to customers.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a bi-monthly basis by modeling the consolidated 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 44 and 45 of Park’s 2011 Annual Report.

On page 45 (Table 30) of Park’s 2011 Annual Report, management reported that Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $1,376 million or 21.46% of interest earning assets at December 31, 2011. At March 31,September 30, 2012, Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $592$648 million or 9.5%10.54% of interest earning assets.

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 45 of Park’s 2011 Annual Report, management reported that at December 31, 2011, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 2.14% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 3.52% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At March 31,September 30, 2012, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 2.0%1.85% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 3.4%7.23% in a declining interest rate scenario. At March 31,September 30, 2012, 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.

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 bank, PNB, is a party to incidental to its banking business. There are also certainbusiness, as well as routine legal proceedings at SE LLCSEPH which are routine legal proceedings to which Vision BankSEPH (and SE LLCSEPH as the successor to Vision Bank) is a party to incidental to its 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, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. TheseThe following information updates one of our risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in the 2011 Form 10-K. All of 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 2011 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.


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 may decline.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental fiscal and monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, fiscal and monetary policy and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings and our capital. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, additional decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. 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 and cash flows. The substantial majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries are to individuals and businesses in Ohio, although we continue to hold certain loans made, and real estate located, in Gulf Coast communities in Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Consequently, a significant 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.

While substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of Vision Bank were sold to Centennial Bank on February 16, 2012, Vision Bank retained non-performing loans, which had a book balance as of February 16, 2012 of approximately $88 million and performing loans which had a book balance of approximately $22 million as of February 16, 2012, both balances being net of any loan loss allowances that existed prior to the close of the transactions between Vision Bank and Centennial Bank. These retained loans were transferred by operation of law to SEPH by virtue of the merger of Vision Bank into SEPH. As a result, Park’s future earnings continue to be susceptible to further declining credit conditions in the markets in which the borrowers under these retained loans operate or declining credit conditions in the markets served by PNB and its divisions.
