AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Corporation's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1996. NOTE B--EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The number of shares used in the computation of earnings per common share was 2,287,851 for 1997 and 2,184,378 for 1996. NOTE C - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS IMPLEMENTED IN 1997 SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities and requires a consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. SFAS No. 125 also supersedes SFAS No. 122, and requires that servicing assets and liabilities be subsequently measured by amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing obligation based on their fair values. SFAS No. 125 applies to transfers and extinguishments occurring after December 31, 1996, and early or retroactive application is not permitted. The statements will not have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations. NOTE D - RISK ELEMENTS AND LOAN LOSS RESERVE There have been no changes in the Risk Elements and Loan Loss Reserve activity that would materially effect the Corporation's financial position or results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997. -9- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Rurban Financial Corp. ("Rurban") was incorporated on February 23, 1983, under the laws of the State of Ohio. Rurban is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Rurban's subsidiaries, The State Bank and Trust Company ("State Bank"), The Peoples Banking Company ("Peoples Bank"), The First National Bank of Ottawa ("First National Bank") and The Citizens Savings Bank Company ("Citizens Bank") are engaged only in the industry segment of commercial banking. Rurban's subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc., ("RDSI"), provides computerized data processing services for the Corporation's subsidiary banks as well as other banks and businesses. Rurban's subsidiary, Rurban Life Insurance Company ("Rurban Life") has a certificate of authority from the State of Arizona to transact insurance as a domestic life and disability reinsurer. During the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation opened Peoples Savings Bank d.b.a. Rurban Mortgage Company, a residential mortgage loan production office in Clearwater, Florida. This office underwrites, processes, closes and sells residential first mortgages acquired through a network of real estate mortgage brokers in the Tampa Bay market. LIQUIDITY Liquidity relates primarily to the Corporation's ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers' withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, federal funds sold, securities and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $106 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $103 million at December 31, 1996. The $3 million increase in liquid assets represents normal fluctuation and was not due to any change in policy of management regarding liquidity. Management recognizes that securities may need to be sold in the future to help fund loan demand and, accordingly, as of March 31, 1997, the entire securities portfolio of $67.1 million was classified as available-for-sale. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity plus common stock subject to repurchase obligation in ESOP, net of unearned ESOP shares was $42,141,000 as of March 31, 1997, an increase of $652,000 over $41,489,000 as of December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to 1997 net income of $1,342,000, offset by cash dividends of $412,000 and a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities available for sale, net of tax of $(279,000). The Corporation's subsidiaries exceed the applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 1997. As of March 31, 1997, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations. -10- Supplemental Information Nonperforming loans increased $290,000 from December 31, 1996 to $1,345,000 or 0.42% of net loans at March 31, 1997. Material Changes in Financial Condition Loans grew $4.5 million from December 31, 1996 to $318 million at March 31, 1997; an annualized rate of 5.8 %. Deposits grew $7.2 million from December 31, 1996 to $395 million at March 31, 1997; an annualized rate of 7.5%. Material Changes in Results of Operations Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $4,898,458, an increase of $424,337 (9.5%) over the same period in 1996. This increase is due to an increase in the amount of earning assets and a favorable increase in yields on those assets. Total noninterest income increased $293,030 to $1,832,964 due mainly to an increase of $66,130 in Trust Department fees and a March 1997 entry to record the $230,000 estimated value of servicing rights on $23 million of loans sold since the adoption of FAS 122 on January 1, 1996. Total noninterest expense increased $487,193 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the same period in 1996. This was due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits of $420,697. Income tax expense for the quarter was $637,862, an increase of $70,525 over the same period in 1996 due to an increase in taxable income. The result of all these factors was an increase in net income of $199,658 to $1,342,345 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the same period in 1996. -11- PART 11 - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
