NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands except per share amounts) September 2002 and December 31, 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of FC Banc Corp.'s financial position as of September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER SHARE There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income will be used as the numerator. The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------------------- ------------------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share 579,862 594,221 580,963 598,255 Additional common stock equivalents(stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share. 2,148 1,131 69 5,451 ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted-average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share 582,010 595,352 581,032 603,706 ======= ======= ======= ======= Options to purchase 14,500 and 16,500 shares of common stock outstanding as of the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2002, respectively and 14,500 and 16,500 shares of common stock outstanding as of the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2001, respectively at prices from $22.00 to $28.50 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. 8 NOTE 3 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. The new statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. FAS No. 141 also specifies criteria which must be met for intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The adoption of Statement No. 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, was discontinued. However, this new statement did not amend FAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, which requires recognition and amortization of unidentified intangible assets relating to the acquisition of financial institutions or branches thereof. The FASB has undertaken a limited scope project to reconsider the provisions of FAS No. 72 in 2002 and has issued an exposure draft of a proposed statement, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Statements, that would remove acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of FAS No. 72. The exposure draft states that unless a branch acquisition meets the definition of a business combination, it is an acquisition of net assets and would not result in the recognition of goodwill. Thereby any unidentifiable intangible asset would continue to be amortized. The adoption of FAS No. 142 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability be recognized when incurred for the retirement of a long-lived asset and the value of the asset be increased by that amount. The statement also requires that the liability be maintained at its present value in subsequent periods and outlines certain disclosures for such obligations. The new statement takes effect for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement, which is effective January 1, 2003, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company `s financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145, "Recission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". FAS No. 145 rescinds FAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. This statement also amends FAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements, which are not substantive but in some cases may change accounting practice. FAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of FAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position 9 or results of operations. On October 1, 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, effective for all business combinations initiated after October 1, 2002. This Statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the acquisition of all or part of a financial institution, except for a transaction between two or more mutual enterprises. This Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions, other than transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, from the scope of FAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, and FASB Interpretation No. 9, Applying APB Opinions No. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method. The acquisition of all or part of a financial institution that meets the definition of a business combination shall be accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with FAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This Statement also provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal of acquired long-term customer-relationship intangible assets (such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets), including those acquired in transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In October 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. FAS 144 supercedes FAS 121 and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell. FAS 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, its provisions are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In July 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The new statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, the adoption of which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 10 FC BANC CORP.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) Safe Harbor Clause This report contains certain "forward-looking statements." The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis, describe future plans or strategies and include the Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the Company's market area and the country as a whole, loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state regulations. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. General FC Banc Corp was established on February 1, 1994 as a bank holding company whose activities are primarily limited to holding the stock of The Farmers Citizens Bank, Bucyrus, Ohio ("Bank"). Farmers Citizens Bank was chartered on October 1, 1907, and officially opened for business on January 6, 1908. Farmers Citizens Bank has provided continuous customer service to Crawford County for more than 90 years. The Bank conducts a general banking business in north central Ohio that consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and non-residential purposes. The Bank's principal types of lending are in commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer. In both the commercial and residential real estate the bank has minimal risk. The banks lending policies specify loan to value ratios low enough to minimize the risk. Another factor that minimizes the risk is our knowledge of the market area. Farmers Citizens Bank is a community bank and this helps us in knowing our customers and market area. Also, the bank is continuously reviewing its underwriting procedures and policies. In the consumer loan area, the bank specializes in home equity loans and loans for late model cars. Usually, the collateral held is sufficient to minimize risk. The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net interest income. That is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management control. Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. 12 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which limits the activities in which the Company and the Bank may engage. The Bank is supervised by the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions and its deposits are insured up to applicable limits under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to its supervision. The Company and the Bank must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board and Ohio Division of Financial Institutions the prescribed periodic reports containing full and accurate statements of its affairs. The Bank has four banking offices located in Crawford, Morrow and Knox Counties, Ohio. The primary market area of the Bank is North Central Ohio, which includes Crawford, Morrow, Knox and contiguous counties. The Banks main office is about 60 miles north of the state capital, Columbus, Ohio. Our Bank has various competition in all of the markets we serve. In Bucyrus there are five other commercial banks. In both Cardington and Fredericktown there are one. All of our markets are within a short distance to other markets that present another dozen or so competitors. In addition, there are no less than ten mortgages companies in each and every market we serve. In our direct markets, the Bank has a 21.49% market share of deposits. The economy of our markets is driven by several major components: Manufacturing, retail trade, governmental service, general service, and agricultural. Census date indicates a positive trend in our Morrow and Knox counties areas and a steady trend in Crawford County. The general economic conditions of all three of our markets is reflective of the State of Ohio and to a certain extent our national economy. Overall, the general outlook for the economy is cautiously optimistic. Moderate growth to stable conditions is seen, but in general the economy has not shown positive signs of a robust economy. Changes in Financial Condition At September 30, 2002, the consolidated assets of the Company totaled $129.3 million, an increase of $19.7 million, or 17.97%, from $109.6 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in total assets resulted primarily from net loan growth of $7.8 million, net investment growth of $12.8 million, and premises and equipment growth of $2.2 million. Total assets have grown $20.3 million or 18.62% from September 30, 2001. In the last twelve months, investments have grown by $14.5 million and net loans have grown $5.3 million. Net loans receivable increased by $7.8 million, or 13.10%, to $67.3 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $59.5 million at December 31, 2001. Commercial loans, loans secured by real estate, and consumer loans have increased by $3.4 million, $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Net loans as of September 30, 2001 were $61.9 million. 13 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) The allowance for loan losses has decreased by $0.3 million due to the negative provision discussed below. Loan growth continued strong as evidenced by net growth of $2.9 million in the third quarter. This followed the outstanding growth in the second quarter of $4.6 million. This growth has occurred because of the development of our newer market areas, competitive pricing, and lower rates. In order to enhance the loan growth, the bank has hired two new mortgage originators. The quality of our loan portfolio continues to be strong. Delinquency continues to be well below peer group. Due to the current interest rate environment, we expect loan growth to continue in the fourth quarter. Growth will not be as strong as the previous two quarters due to normal seasonal factors. Investment securities increased by $12.8 million, or 37.64% to $46.8 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $34.0 million at December 31, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, investment securities were $32.3 million or $14.5 million less than September 30, 2002. The investment portfolio has grown due to an investment strategy to leverage the bank through the use of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. In using this strategy, the bank borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank and invests that money in mortgage backed securities with a similar average life. When entering into these transactions the bank earns an initial spread of at least 125 basis points. Cash and cash equivalents declined by $3.1 million to $3.6 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2001. The decline was mostly due to overnight Federal Funds Sold being invested. As of September 30, 2001 cash and cash equivalents were $7.3 million. Deposit liabilities increased by $6.2 million, or 7.22%, to $92.0 million at September 30, 2002, from $85.8 million at December 31, 2001. Savings accounts and certificates of deposits increased by $0.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Money Market Accounts, NOW accounts and demand deposits declined by $0.6 million, $1.3 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. Certificate of Deposits have increased due to the growth of the 36 month Step-Up CD. Money Market Accounts, NOW accounts, and demand deposits have decreased due to unfavorable market conditions. Deposit liabilities have increased by $8.3 million or 9.92% from September 30, 2001. Total shareholders' equity was $13.0 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to $12.2 million on December 31, 2001. During the first nine months of 2002 shareholders equity increased due to net income of $0.8 million and comprehensive income of $0.5 million. Decreased were due to purchase of treasury shares of $0.2 million, and shareholder dividends of $0.3 million. As of September 30, 2001, total shareholders' equity was $12.1 million. The Bank's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. Principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage-backed security repayments, maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB") as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland ("FRB" or "Fed"). While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid 14 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) assets and (iv) the objectives of the asset/liability management program. In the ordinary course of business, part of such liquid investments is composed of deposits at correspondent banks. Although the amount on deposit at such banks often exceeds the $100,000 limit covered by FDIC insurance, the Bank monitors the capital and financial condition of such institutions to ensure that such deposits do not expose the Bank to undue risk of loss. The Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Bank is responsible for liquidity management. This committee, which is comprised of various managers, has an Asset/Liability Policy that covers all assets and liabilities, as well as off-balance sheet items that are potential sources and uses of liquidity. The Bank's liquidity management objective is to maintain the ability to meet commitments to fund loans and to purchase securities, as well as to repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms. The Bank's overall approach to liquidity management is to ensure that sources of liquidity are sufficient in amounts and diversity to accommodate changes in loan demand and deposit fluctuations without a material adverse impact on net income. The Committee monitors the Bank's liquidity needs on an ongoing basis. Currently the Bank has several sources available for both short- and long-term liquidity needs. These include, but are not restricted to advances from the FHLB, Federal Funds and borrowings from the Fed and other correspondent banks. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the FRB. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material affect on the Company and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts of the Bank and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk-weighing, and other factors. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined by the regulations), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2002, that the Bank meets all of the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the FDIC, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as specified by the regulators. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's prompt corrective action category. As of September 30, 2002, FC Banc Corp. had no commitments for capital expenditures. 15 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) Results of Operations Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 General. Net income increased by $49 during the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the same three-month period ended September 30, 2001. An increase in non-interest income and decreases in non-interest expenses and federal income tax expense were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income. Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $189 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001. Interest income decreased by $156, and interest expense increased by $33. The bank's interest income has decreased mostly due to the current rate environment. The decrease in interest income due to lower rates has been partially offset by our growth. The bank's interest expense has increased due to growth of certificate of deposits. Interest Income. The decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets was the primary contributing factor to the decrease in interest income of $156 or 8.70%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same time period in 2001. Loan interest and fee income decreased by $265 resulting primarily from a decrease in interest rates. The average rate earned on loans was 7.40% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 8.19% during the same period in 2001. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $185 due to the growth of the investment portfolio. The average balance of the investment portfolio was $42.8 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $28.2 million for the same period in 2001. Also, income from federal funds sold decreased by $76 due to a decrease in average balance. The average balance for federal funds sold in the third quarter of 2002 was $0.5 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2001. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $33, or 4.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. Interest paid on deposits decreased by $54. This was mostly because the average cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was 2.03% compared to 2.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This was partially offset by the increase in average deposits , which were $90.7 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $83.7 million for the same period in 2001. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $87, or 87.0% due to higher total borrowings. The average balance for the third quarter of 2002 was $14.5 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2001. 16 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) Provision for Loan Losses. Based upon continued strong credit quality the Bank did not expense any provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2002. We also recorded no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2001. Our Reserve for Loan Loss as of September 30, 2002 stood at $1.2 million or 1.79% of gross loans. This reserve, which is significantly higher than peer group was increased in 1994 and 1995 specifically due to loan concerns of the regulators. Current evaluations of our portfolio by independent sources indicate that the risk no longer exists. The negative provision was based upon the results of ongoing loan reviews and composition of the loan portfolio, primarily loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties and other forms of collateral, which are considered to have less risk. Our review and analysis of the reserve for loan loss indicates that this ratio is adequate. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $181, or 79.74%, to $408 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $227 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was due to implementation of the Overdraft Honor Program in July of 2002. The Bank had a net gain on sales of securities of $4 during the third quarter ending September 30, 2002, compared to a net gain of $40 in the third quarter of 2001. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $54, or 5.38%, to $949 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, from $1,003 in the comparable period in 2001. Salaries and Benefits increased by $54 mostly due to increases in group health insurance expense. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $17 due to an increase in depreciation expense. Other expenses decreased by $127 mostly due to implementation of FASB 91. FASB 91 is an accounting pronouncement whereas both fee income earned on loans and expenses incurred to make those loans are amortized over the life of the loan. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by $3 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 General. Net income increased by $172 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same six-month period ended September 30, 2001. This was due to increases in non-interest income and net interest income and a decrease in provision for loan losses, which were offset by increases in non interest expenses and federal income tax expense. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001. A decrease of $ 355 in interest income was offset by a decrease of $506 in interest expense. One key factor contributing to this increase was the growth of the bank's earning assets from $96.1 million in 2001 to $104.1 million in 2002. In addition, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 4.64% compared to 4.49% in the first nine months of 2001. Net interest margin is computed by dividing the net interest income by the average earning assets. This is then adjusted to a federal tax equivalent basis. 17 FC BANC CORP. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (numbers in thousands except per share amounts) Interest Income. A decrease of 88 basis points in the average rate earned on earning assets was the primary contributing factor to the decrease in interest income of $355, or 6.60%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001. Loan interest and fee income decreased by $491 due to a 70 basis point decrease in the interest rate earned on the portfolio. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $303 due to growth of $11.3 million in the investment portfolio. In addition, income from federal funds sold decreased by $167 due to less volume of $3.7 million, and a 206 basis point decrease in the rate earned. Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposit liabilities decreased by $506, or 22.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. This was mostly due to average cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of about 2.24% compared to 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $161, or 64.4% due to an increase of $7.4 million in total borrowings. Provision for Loan Losses. Based upon continued strong credit quality the Bank recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $275 during the nine months of 2002. We recorded no provision in the first nine months of 2001. The reasons for the negative provision are discussed above in the Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $792 compared to $599 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Service charges and other income was $215 higher than prior year to date due to implementation of the Overdraft Honor Program. The Bank had a net gain on sales of securities of $18 during the nine months ending September 30, 2002, compared to gains of $40 for the same period in 2001. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $425, or 14.61%, to $3,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from $2,909 in the comparable period in 2001. Salaries and Benefits increased by $521 due to the expense associated with the termination of the former President and CEO, and increases in group health insurance expense. Net occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $37 due to less depreciation and equipment leasing expense. Other expenses decreased by $64. This decreased because of the implementation of FASB 106. The most significant increases were in printing and supplies($26), advertising/public relations($23), internet banking expense($15), and computer expense($17). Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by $22 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared with the prior year, primarily because of higher taxable income for the quarter. This was offset by increased purchases of tax free municipal bonds. 18 CREDIT QUALITY RISK The following table identifies amounts of loan losses and non-performing loans.
