TABLE OF CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Sky Financial Group, Inc.
Profit Sharing, 401(k) and ESOP Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Profit Sharing, 401(k) and ESOP Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic 2005 financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2005 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic 2005 financial statements taken as a whole.

SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
PROFIT SHARING, 401(k) AND ESOP PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
The following description of the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Profit Sharing, 401(k) and ESOP Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. The Plan includes a profit sharing component, a 401(k) component and effective January 15, 2004, an employee stock ownership component (see “Merger of Plans and Transfer of Plan Assets” below). Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General—The Plan was originally effective January 1, 1966 and was amended and restated on January 1, 1995, 1999, 2001, and 2004. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Sky Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, who have attained age 18 and are not classified as independent contractors or leased employees. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
Administration—The Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Sky Financial Group, Inc. (the “Committee”). The Committee is responsible for interpreting the Plan and authorizing disbursements. The assets of the Plan are held and administered by Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, except for the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Company Stock Fund, Sky Trust N.A. Collective Core Equity Fund, and Sky Trust N.A. Collective Core Fixed Income Fund which are held by Sky Trust N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sky Financial Group, Inc., which is a party-in-interest.
Eligibility—Employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 401(k) portion of the Plan if they: 1) have attained 18 years of age; 2) are not classified by the Company or participating subsidiary as a temporary, seasonal, or summer employee, or as an independent contractor or a leased employee; or 3) are not a member of a collective bargaining unit. Employees are eligible to participate in the profit sharing and employee stock ownership portions of the Plan if they meet the above requirements as well as complete one year of service, which is defined as a 12-consecutive month period, with the Company. Also, employees of certain of the Company’s insurance and financial services subsidiaries are not eligible to participate in the profit sharing portion of the Plan.
Contributions—Each year, participants may contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code ($14,000 for 2005 and $13,000 for 2004) to the Plan. As permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, participants who attain age 50 prior to the Plan year end are eligible to make catch-up contributions ($4,000 for 2005 and $3,000 for 2004) in excess of the contribution limits described above. The Company makes a matching contribution equal to 100% of the participant’s contribution up to 3% of that participant’s compensation and 50% of the participant’s contribution of the next 2% of that participant’s compensation (the “401(k) Company Matching Contributions”).
- 4 -
The Company, at the option of its board of directors, may also contribute additional discretionary amounts each year that represent the profit sharing contribution and are allocated among participants based on each participant’s compensation. The Company profit sharing contribution to the Plan was $5,517,734 in 2005 and $4,265,832 in 2004. Participants direct the investment of their respective individual participant accounts.
Additionally, under the employee stock ownership provisions of the Plan, the Company is required to make an annual contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to 3% of each participant’s eligible compensation for the year. The Company’s employee stock ownership contribution to the Plan was $4,239,661 in 2005 and $3,517,334 in 2004.
Participant Accounts—Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s own contribution and an allocation of the Company’s contribution and Plan earnings. Investment income or loss is allocated to participant accounts based on proportional account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.
Vesting—Participants are vested immediately in their voluntary contributions, rollover contributions, and 401(k) Company Matching Contributions made after January 1, 2003, including actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their account plus earnings thereon is based on years of credited service, which is defined as a Plan year during which the participant is credited with at least 1,000 hours of service. See vesting schedule below:
| | | |
Years of Service | | Vested Percentage | |
Less than 2 | | 0 | % |
2 but less than 3 | | 40 | |
3 but less than 4 | | 60 | |
4 but less than 5 | | 80 | |
5 or more | | 100 | |
The portion of a participant’s account balance that is not fully vested will be forfeited if the participant separates from service. Participants fully vest in their accounts upon retirement, disability or death.
The nonvested portions of the accounts of terminated participants are forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Forfeitures can be used to reduce employer contributions. Forfeitures used to reduce employer contributions were $477,242 and $545,395 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Merger of Plans and Transfer of Plan Assets—The Company has completed several acquisitions of community banks and financial service affiliates in recent years. In conjunction with such acquisitions, the Company has generally merged the qualified defined contribution plan of the acquired entity into the Plan. The Company gives the continuing former employees of the acquired entities past service credit for their employment with the acquired entity for the purpose of vesting in the Plan.

On November 18, 2003, the Committee approved the merger of the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Pension Plan (the “Sky ESOP Plan”) into the Plan. The account balances of the Sky ESOP Plan participants were transferred into the Plan on January 15, 2004. The transfer of $2,122,571 recognized in 2004 was for the net increase in Sky ESOP Plan assets for the period January 1, 2004 through January 15, 2004, as the account balances as of December 31, 2003, had previously been recognized.
Investment Options—The Plan provides for the establishment of a variety of investment funds and a Company stock fund. These investment funds are participant directed. The Company stock fund includes both participant and non-participant directed funds. Participants may transfer account balances between funds, subject to certain limitations. The Company has the sole discretion to determine or change the number and nature of investment funds.
- 6 -
Participant Loans—The Plan provides that participants can borrow funds against their account balances. These loans are limited to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance. Participant loans bear interest at a fixed annual rate, as determined by the Committee on the date of loan approval. Loan issuances are accounted for as a transfer from the participant directed accounts into a participant loan fund. Each loan is secured by the balance in the participant’s account. Loan principal and interest payments are made through payroll deductions for periods up to five years for a personal loan and up to 15 years for a residential home loan.
Payment of Benefits—Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her vested interest in their profit sharing and 401(k) account, or the vested portion of a participant’s balance may be distributed in installments or partial distributions. The ESOP’s normal form of benefits is a joint and survivor annuity with optional forms of lump sum, straight life annuity or installments. Amounts allocated to participants who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid were $464,522 and $53,308 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
2. | SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting—The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Investments—Investments in Sky Financial Group, Inc. common stock are stated at fair value as measured by quoted market prices in an active market. Other investments consist principally of investments in mutual funds and common/collective funds and are stated at fair value as determined by the trustee, based upon the market values of the underlying assets of the funds. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Plan utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Distributions to Participants–Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.
Administrative Expenses—The costs of administering the Plan are paid by the Plan or the Company as determined by the Company.

5. | INTEREST IN SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. MASTER TRUST |
Prior to January 15, 2004, the Plan invested in the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Master Trust (the “Master Trust”), which was established for the investment of assets, primarily Sky Financial Group, Inc. common stock, of the Plan and the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Pension Plan (the “ESOP”). Sky Trust, N.A. was the trustee, custodian, and manager of the Master Trust. As of January 15, 2004, the ESOP was merged into the Plan. As the Plan owned 100% of the interests in the Master Trust at January 15, 2004, the 2004 financial statements reflect the Plan’s investments in and income from the underlying securities subsequent to the merger date. The following disclosures present the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust prior to January 15, 2004.
The investment income for the entire Master Trust is as follows:
| | | |
Investment Income | | Year Ended December 31, 2004 |
Net appreciation in fair value of investments | | $ | 3,083,192 |
Dividends and interest | | | 638,911 |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 3,722,103 |
| | | |
6. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Parties-in-interest are defined under the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) regulations as any fiduciary of the plan, any party rendering service to the plan, the employer, and certain others. Certain Plan investments are shares of Sky Financial Group, Inc. common stock and shares of common/collective investment funds managed by Sky Trust, N.A. Additionally, certain other Plan investments prior to January 15, 2004, were units of a Master Trust for which Sky Trust, N.A. was custodian and trustee. The primary underlying investment of the Master Trust was Sky Financial Group, Inc. common stock. Sky Trust, N.A. is a fiduciary of the Plan and wholly owned subsidiary of Sky Financial Group, Inc., and Sky Financial Group, Inc. is the sponsor of the Plan. Therefore, all transactions in these investments are party-in-interest transactions.
Fees paid by the Plan to Sky Trust, N.A. for administrative and investment services were $223,367 and $185,261 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fees are calculated as follows: (1) .07% for Plan assets invested in all third-party funds, (2) based upon a tiered fee schedule for Plan assets invested in the Sky Trust, N.A. Collective Core Equity and Collective Core Fixed Income funds (approximating .7% of fund balances up to $5 million and .5% of fund balances exceeding $5 million), and (3) no fees are assessed for the nonparticipant directed assets invested in the Sky Financial Group, Inc. Company Stock Fund (or previously the Master Trust). Certain professional or legal fees related to the operation of the Plan are paid by the Company.
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and/or to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth under ERISA.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated November 14, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Plan has been amended since receipt of this determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC.
On February 3, 2006, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Waterfield Mortgage Company, Inc. (“Waterfield”), including its wholly-owned subsidiary Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis. The merger is expected to close in August 2006. The Company intends to merge the Waterfield Group Savings and Investment Plan into the Plan on January 1, 2007. The Company also intends to give the continuing former employees of Waterfield past service credit for their employment with Waterfield for the purpose of vesting in the Plan. It is estimated that approximately 500 of continuing former employees of Waterfield will meet the eligibility requirements of the Plan on January 1, 2007 and will become participants in the Plan on that date.
