NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note-1 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Empire
Banc Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Empire National Bank, after
elimination of significant inter-company transactions and accounts. The
statements have been prepared by management without audit by independent
certified public accountants. However, these statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction
with the notes to financial statements included in the Empire Banc
Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive
to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the
entire year.
Note-2 Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents
consist of common stock issuable under the assumed exercise of stock
options granted under the Corporation's stock option plan, using the
treasury stock method.
Note-3 During the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the proceeds from
sales of available-for-sale securities were $3,005,000 with gross realized
losses of $4,600 from these sales. Net unrealized holding gains on
available-for-sale securities for the current quarter are $280,000 and
year-to-date are $598,000.

Second quarter net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis,
was $3,733,000, a $269,000 increase from the second quarter of 1994.
Average earning assets increased $33.6 million as the loan portfolio
increased $20.8 million for the quarter. The investment portfolio
showed a $3.1 million increase and the bank's investment in overnight
funds increased on average $9.8 million, to account for the change.
Total interest income (FTE) for the quarter increased $1.2 million
between the two periods and the average rate earned increased 72 basis
points to average 8.66%. Total interest expense increased $980,000, and
the average rate paid increased 107 basis points (bp) to 4.84%.
Average loans totaled $247 million for the quarter, increasing 9.2%
from the 1994 second quarter. Loans secured by real estate totaled
$175 million at June 30, 1995, increasing $30 million from June 1994.
The average rate earned on the loan portfolio increased 68 bp to 9.54%
in the quarterly comparison. Average outstanding investment securities
increased $3.1 million in the quarter to quarter comparison to average
$68.1 million and the rate earned increased 103 bp to 5.86%. Funds sold
increased on average $9.8 million and the rate earned 222 bp more in the
quarterly comparison from the prior year.
Average interest bearing deposits increased $24.3 million to $263.2 million
for the second quarter of 1995. Increases in average money market deposits
of $12.7 million and consumer CDs of $17.2 million were offset by decreases
in savings and interest checking of $4.1 million and CDs over $100,000 of
$1.5 million. Following general economic interest rate changes, interest-
bearing deposits averaged 100 bp more in 1995 rising to an average 4.73%
for the quarter. Consumer CDs increased 77 bp, money market deposits 162
bp, savings and interest checking 12 bp, and CDs over $100,000 240 bp to
account for the increase. Funding from additional Federal Home Loan Bank
advances increased on average $4 million from the second quarter of 1994
and the rate increased 227 bp to 7.09%. Purchases of overnight funds
decreased $1.8 million between the two quarters. Demand deposits averaged
$2.9 million more in 1995 versus the 1994 second quarter. Average non-
interest bearing funds supporting earning assets increased $7.2 million
from last year's levels for the same quarter.

return on average equity was 14.0%, compared to 13.8% in 1994.
Net interest income (FTE) increased $746,000, or 11.3% to $7.4
million for the first six months of 1995 as average earning assets
increased $30.8 million from 1994. The year to date net interest margin
was 4.60% for 1995 compared to 4.58% earned in the first six months of
1994. Interest income increased $2.6 million and interest expense increased
$1.8 million for the six month comparison from 1995 to 1994. The yield on

increased $24.4 million, average outstanding investment securities increased
$2.2 million, and average overnight funds sold increased $4.2 million from

were $259,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared to a provision of
$305,000 and net charge-offs of $185,000 in 1994.
Non-interest income decreased $132,000, or 5%, for the first six months
of 1995, mainly due to the $274,000 or 40% decrease in fees earned from the
origination and sale of mortgage loans, reflecting a lower volume of lending
activity. Offsetting this decrease were increases in deposit account related
fees of $13,000, trust income of $87,000, and other income of $42,000. Non-
interest expense increased $324,000, or 5%, in 1995 from the comparable prior
period. Expenses associated with personnel costs have increased $184,000, or
5%, in 1995. Equipment and occupancy expenses increased $54,000, or 6%. Other
costs increased a total of $86,000, or 5%, primarily attributable to increased
expenses associated with non-earning loans.
Total cash dividends for the first six months of 1995 were $.60 per
share compared to $.50 per share in 1994, a 20% increase. Shareholders'
equity increased 10.6% from June of 1994 and at $28 million for June of
1995 represents 8.1% of assets.
17
Recorded in stockholders' equity were unrealized gains, net of tax,
of $598,000 in 1995 and unrealized losses of $322,000 in 1994. The
