that would materially effect the Corporation's financial position or results of

NOTE E--BENEFIT PLANS

The Corporation's Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan in 1997. Under
the terms of this plan, options for up to 400,000 shares of the Corporation's
common stock may be granted to key employees and directors of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries. Stock option plans are used to reward employees and
provide them with an additional equity interest. Options are issued for 10 year
periods with varying vesting periods. The exercise price of the options is
determined at the time of grant by a committee of the Board of Directors and
cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosure for companies that do not adopt a
fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Accordingly,
the following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per common
share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock
option plans. Compensation cost actually recognized for stock options was $-0-
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

Net income for the six months ended June 30                 $3,169,163        $2,326,701
Pro forma net income for the six months end June 30         $3,103,988        $2,285,386
Basic and diluted earnings per common share as reported
    for the six months ended June 30                        $      .77        $      .57

    for the six months ended June 30                        $      .76        $      .56


The pro forma effects are computed using option pricing models, using the
following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.



                                            1999 Grant    1998 Grant    1997 Grant

Risk-free interest rate                        4.79%         5.38%         6.50%
Expected option life                             10            10            10

In future years, the pro forma effect of not applying this standard is expected
to increase as additional options are granted.

Information about options grants follow:

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 to community banks and businesses and the Corporation's
subsidiary banks. 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 insurer.

Reliance Financial Services, N.A. ("Reliance"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
State Bank, provides trust and financial services to customers nationwide.

                                    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 available-for-sale and loans held for sale. These assets are
commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $111 million at June,
30, 2000, compared to $109 million at December 31, 1999. The $2 million increase
in liquid assets represents normal fluctuation and was not due to any change in
policy of management regarding liquidity. Management recognizes securities may
need to be sold in the future to help fund loan demand and, accordingly, as of
June 30, 2000, the entire securities portfolio of $86 million was classified as
available for sale.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, commonly referred to as The Financial Services
Modernization Act (FSMA), provides the opportunity for a bank to enter into new
lines of business. One significant benefit of FSMA for community banks (under
$500 million in assets) is the requirement that the Federal Home Loan Banks
expand the type of collateral permissible to be pledged for FHLB advances. It is
anticipated that during late 2000 the implementation of new collateral rules
will significantly expand the FHLB borrowing capacity of the Corporation's four
subsidiary banks.

                                CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity net of unearned ESOP shares was $46,137,455 as of
June 30, 2000, an increase of $2,236,984 over the $43,900,471 as of December 31,
1999 and an increase of $3,541,853 over the $42,595,602 as of June 30, 1999. The
increase for the six months of 2000 was a result of net income of $3,169,163 and
a reduction in unearned ESOP shares of $98,207 offset by dividends declared of
$910,958 and net change in unrealized depreciation on securities available for
sale, net of tax, of $119,428.

Each of the Corporation's subsidiary banks exceed the applicable "well
capitalized" regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2000.

                                       15
   16

As of June 30, 2000, 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.

Supplemental Information
- ------------------------

Material Changes in Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------------

Net loans and loans held for sale increased $34 million from December 31, 1999

mortgages) increased $32 million, consumer loans and leases increased $10
million while commercial loans decreased $6 million and real estate loans held
for sale decreased $2 million. Liquid assets, premises and equipment and other
assets all had insignificant changes.

Increases in deposits of $22 million and federal funds purchased of $13 million
were the primary sources of funding for the loan growth during the first six
months of 2000.

Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------

Net income for the first six months of 2000 increased $842,000 over the same
period of 1999.

Net interest income for the first six months ended June 30, 2000 was $12.9
million, an increase of $1.8 million (16%) over the same period of 1999.
Interest income on loans increased $4.8 million (26%). Interest expense on
deposits and borrowed funds increased $3.3 million (32%). The rates for earning
assets have increased 0.55%, while the rates on deposits and borrowed funds have

The provision for loan losses of $900,000 increased $348,000 (63%) compared to
the first six months of 1999.

ended June 30, 2000 compared to $976,000 for the same period of 1999. The
increase was due to the improved net income.

There have been no material changes in the Corporation's quantitative and
qualitative market risks since December 31, 1999. The following table compares
rate sensitive assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2000 to December 31, 1999.

Comparison of 6/30/00 to 12/31/99
Total rate sensitive assets:
   At June 30, 2000                   $253,949       $257,202     $111,374     $622,525
   At December 31, 1999                293,282        266,263       25,373      584,918
                                      --------       --------     --------     --------
   Increase (decrease)                 (39,333)        (9,061)      86,001       37,607

Total rate sensitive liabilities:
   At June 30, 2000                   $378,429       $137,988     $ 97,687     $614,104
   At December 31, 1999                352,800        128,483       95,948      577,231
                                      --------       --------     --------     --------
   Increase                             25,629          9,505        1,739       36,873


Total rate sensitive assets increased approximately $38 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 due to a $34 million increase in loans during the
period. The Corporation reviewed its methodology for calculating prepayments.
Consequently, estimated loan prepayment speeds were decreased. This refinement
in prepayment assumptions was the primary factor in the shift of approximately
$86 million of assets from the "first year" and "years 2 to 5" categories to the
"thereafter" category. The majority of the $34 million increase in loans
occurred in the "first year" category and partially offset the decline in that
category caused by the reduction in loan prepayment assumptions.

Total rate sensitive liabilities increase approximately $37 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2000. During the period, the continued increase in
rates caused many customers to shorten the maturity of their certificates of
deposit. The primary factor in the approximately $26 million increase in rate
sensitive liabilities with maturities within one year was an $18 million
increase in certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less.
