                                       4


from the credit life and disability insurance purchased by customers of State
Bank and RFCBC (through its divisions, Peoples Bank, First Bank of Ottawa and
Citizens Savings Bank) from AGAC in connection with revolving credit loans
secured by mortgages and with certain installment loans made to such customers
by State Bank and RFCBC (though its divisions, Peoples Bank, First Bank of
Ottawa and Citizens Savings Bank). The operations of Rurban Life do not
materially impact the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation. As
of December 31, 2001, Rurban Life has not accepted any other reinsurance. In
August 2000, the Corporation's banks ceased issuing credit life and disability
insurance contracts through AGAC. In September 2000, the Corporation's banks
entered into agreements with Individual Assurance Corporation ("IAC") and began
issuing credit life and disability insurance contract through IAC. At December
31, 2001, Rurban Life had no employees.



                                       5



                                   COMPETITION

           State Bank and RFCBC experience significant competition in attracting
depositors and borrowers. Competition in lending activities comes principally
from other commercial banks in the lending areas of State Bank and RFCBC, and,
to a lesser extent, from savings associations, insurance companies, governmental
agencies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms and pension funds. The
primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates charged and overall
banking services.

           Competition for deposits comes from other commercial banks, savings
associations, money market funds and credit unions as well as from insurance
companies and securities brokerage firms. The primary factors in competing for
deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, account liquidity and convenience
of office location.

           RDSI also operates in a highly competitive field. RDSI competes
primarily on the basis of the value and quality of its data processing services,
and service and convenience to its customers.

           Rurban Life operates in the highly competitive industry of credit
life and disability insurance. A large number of stock and mutual insurance
companies also operating in this industry have been in existence for longer
periods of time and have substantially greater financial resources than does
Rurban Life. The principal methods of competition in the credit life and
disability insurance industry are the availability of coverages, premium rates
and quality of service.

           RFS operates in the highly competitive trust services field and its
competition is primarily other Ohio bank trust departments.

                           SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

           The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations
affecting the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.

           The Corporation is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended, which restricts the activities of the
Corporation and the acquisition by the Corporation of voting shares or assets of
any bank, savings association or other company. The Corporation is also subject
to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal
Reserve Board. Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on transactions with affiliates,
including any loans or extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any
of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities thereof and
the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans or extensions of
credit to any borrower; the issuance of guarantees, acceptances or letters of
credit on behalf of the bank holding company and its subsidiaries; purchases or
sales of securities or other assets; and the payment of money or furnishing of
services to the bank holding company and other subsidiaries. Bank holding
companies are prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than
5% of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank
holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. A bank
holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain
tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision
of other property or services to a customer by the bank holding company or its
subsidiaries.


                                       6


           RFS, as a nationally-chartered trust company, is regulated by the
OCC. As Ohio state-chartered banks, State Bank and RFCBC are supervised and
regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. State Bank is
a member of the Federal Reserve System so its primary federal regulator is the
Federal Reserve Board. RFCBC is not a member of the Federal Reserve System so
its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). The deposits of State Bank and RFCBC are insured by the FDIC and as
such those entities are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act. A subsidiary of a bank holding company can be liable to
reimburse the FDIC, if the FDIC incurs or anticipates a loss because of a
default of another FDIC-insured subsidiary of the bank holding company or in
connection with FDIC assistance provided to such subsidiary in danger of
default. In addition, the holding company of any insured financial institution
that submits a capital plan under the federal banking agencies' regulations on
prompt corrective action guarantees a portion of the institution's capital
shortfall, as discussed below.

           Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United
States and the State of Ohio affect the operations of State Bank and RFCBC
including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on
the nature and amount of loans which may be made and the interest that may be
charged thereon, restrictions relating to investments and other activities,
limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks, limitations on activities
based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends, and
limitations on branching.

           The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for bank holding companies and for state member banks, such as State Bank. The
risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a
framework for calculating risk weighted assets by assigning assets and
off-balance-sheet items to broad risk categories. The minimum ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such
as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least 4.0 percentage points is to be
comprised of common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings but
excluding treasury stock), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited
amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other
intangible assets ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may
consist, among other things, of mandatory convertible debt securities, a limited
amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of
allowance for loan and lease losses. The Federal Reserve Board also imposes a
minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 3% for bank holding
companies and state member banks that meet certain specified conditions,
including no operational, financial or supervisory deficiencies, and including
having the highest regulatory rating. The minimum leverage ratio is 1%-2% higher
for other bank holding companies and state member banks based on their
particular circumstances and risk profiles and those experiencing or
anticipating significant growth. State non-member banks such as RFCBC, are
subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.

           The Corporation and RFCBC at year end 2001 were categorized as well
capitalized while State Bank was adequately capitalized. The Corporation, State
Bank and the three banks which were merged to create RFCBC in 2001 were
categorized as well capitalized at year end 2000.

           The federal banking regulators have established regulations governing
prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks. Under these
regulations, institutions which become undercapitalized become subject to
mandatory regulatory scrutiny and limitations, which increase as capital
decreases. Such institutions are also required to file capital plans with their


                                       7


primary federal regulator, and their holding companies must guarantee the
capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at
the time it becomes undercapitalized.

           The ability of a bank holding company to obtain funds for the payment
of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount
of dividends which may be declared by its subsidiary banks and other
subsidiaries. However, the Federal Reserve Board expects the Corporation to
serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, which may require it to
retain capital for further investment in the subsidiaries, rather than for
dividends to shareholders of the Corporation. State Bank and RFCBC may not pay
dividends to the Corporation if, after paying such dividends, they would fail to
meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and the
minimum leverage ratio requirements. State Bank and RFCBC must have the approval
of their respective regulatory authorities if a dividend in any year would cause
the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of the current year's net
profits and the retained net profits for the preceding two years, less required
transfers to surplus. Payment of dividends by the bank subsidiaries may be
restricted at any time at the discretion of the regulatory authorities, if they
deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking practice.
These provisions could have the effect of limiting the Corporation's ability to
pay dividends on its outstanding common shares.

           Rurban Life is chartered by the State of Arizona and is subject to
regulation, supervision, and examination by the Arizona Department of Insurance.
The powers of regulation and supervision of the Arizona Department of Insurance
relate generally to such matters as minimum capitalization, the grant and
revocation of certificates of authority to transact business, the nature of and
limitations on investments, the maintenance of reserves, the form and content of
required financial statements, reporting requirements and other matters
pertaining to life and disability insurance companies.

              DEPOSIT INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS AND RECENT LEGISLATION

           The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual assessment rates
for deposit insurance for members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). State Bank and RFCBC are members of
BIF. The FDIC may increase assessment rates for either fund if necessary to
restore the fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits to its target level
within a reasonable time and may decrease such rates if such target level has
been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system for both BIF
and SAIF members. Under this system, assessments vary based on the risk the
institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. The risk level is determined
based on the institution's capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory
concern about the institution.

                     MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

           The commercial banking business is affected not only by general
economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board
regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence
general economic conditions primarily through open market operations in U.S.
Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and
changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. These policies and
regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of bank
loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans as well
as the interest rates paid on deposits and accounts.


                                       8


           The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to continue to have significant effects in the future. In view of
the changing conditions in the economy and the money market and the activities
of monetary and fiscal authorities, no definitive predictions can be made as to
future changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit levels.

                  FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION ACT OF 1999

           On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999,
which, effective March 11, 2000, permits bank holding companies to become
financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and
insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature.
A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its
subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Act of 1991 prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed,
and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act by
filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial
holding company. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding
company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged
in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are
financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

           The Financial Services Modernization Act defines "financial in
nature" to include: (i) securities underwriting, dealing and market making; (ii)
sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; (iii) insurance underwriting
and agency; (iv) merchant banking activities; and (v) activities that the
Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking.

           As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Corporation has opted not to
become a financial holding company. The Corporation intends to continue to
analyze the proposed advantages and disadvantages of becoming a financial
holding company on a periodic basis.

(1)  Securities balances represent daily average balances for the amortized cost
     of securities. The average rate is calculated based on the amortized cost
     of securities.

(2)  Computed on tax equivalent basis for non-taxable securities (34% statutory
     tax rate in 1999).

(3)  Loan balances include principal balances of nonaccrual loans and loans held
     for sale.

(4)  Includes net fees on loans of $1,368,444 in 1999.

(5)  Excludes approximately $45,760,449 in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
     If such balances were included, the average rate would be 4.10%.

I.   DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY; INTEREST
     RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (Continued)

C.   The following tables set forth the effect of volume and rate changes on
     interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For purposes of
     these tables, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as
     follows:

     Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate.
     Rate Variance - change in rate multiplied by the previous year's volume.
     Rate/Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the change in rate.
     This variance was allocated to volume variance and rate variance in
     proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change
     in each. Interest on non-taxable securities has been adjusted to a fully
     tax equivalent basis using a statutory tax rate of 34% in 2001, 2000 and
     1999.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: The Corporation grants commercial, real estate
and installment loans to customers mainly in northern Ohio. Commercial loans
include loans collateralized by commercial real estate, business assets and
agricultural loans collateralized by crops and farm equipment. As of December
31, 2001, commercial and agricultural loans make up approximately 65% of the
loan portfolio and the loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from
operations of businesses. As of December 31, 2001, residential first mortgage
loans make up approximately 18% of the loan portfolio and are collateralized by
first mortgages on residential real estate. As of December 31, 2001, consumer
loans to individuals make up approximately 17% of the loan portfolio and are
primarily collateralized by consumer assets.

     B.   Maturities and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates -
          The following table shows the amounts of commercial and agricultural
          loans outstanding as of December 31, 2001 which, based on remaining
          scheduled repayments of principal, are due in the periods indicated.
          Also, the amounts have been classified according to sensitivity to
          changes in interest rates for commercial and agricultural loans due
          after one year. (Variable-rate loans are those loans with floating or
          adjustable interest rates.)

III.     LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued)

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 is
adequate to absorb any losses on nonperforming loans, as the allowance balance
is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that
are probable based on past loss experience, general economic conditions,
information about specific borrower situations including their financial
position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are
subject to change over time.



                                                                                                 2001
                                                                                                 ----
                                                                                            (In thousands)
                                                                                         
         Gross interest income that would have been recorded in 2001 on
         nonaccrual loans outstanding at December 31, 2001 if the loans had been
         current, in accordance with their original terms and had been
         outstanding throughout the period or since origination if held for part
         of the period                                                                              $589

         Interest income actually recorded on nonaccrual loans and included in net income
         for the period                                                                              205
                                                                                               ---------
         Interest income not recognized during the period                                           $384



               1.   Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy

                    The accrual of interest income is discontinued when the
                    collection of a loan or interest, in whole or in part, is
                    doubtful. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest
                    income accrued in the current period is reversed. While
                    loans which are past due 90 days or more as to interest or
                    principal payments are considered for nonaccrual status,
                    management may elect to continue the accrual of interest
                    when the estimated net realizable value of collateral, in
                    management's judgment, is sufficient to cover the principal
                    balance and accrued interest. These policies apply to both
                    commercial and consumer loans.

               2.   Potential Problem Loans

                    As of December 31, 2001, in addition to the $14,688,000 of
                    loans reported under Item III. C. 1. (which includes all
                    loans classified by management as doubtful or loss), there
                    are approximately $25,756,000 in other outstanding loans
                    where known information about possible credit problems of
                    the borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to
                    the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present
                    loan repayment terms (loans classified as substandard by
                    management) and which may result in disclosure of such loans
                    pursuant to Item III. C. 1. at some future date. In regard
                    to loans classified as substandard, management believes that
                    such potential problem loans have been adequately evaluated
                    in the allowance of loan losses.

               4.   Loan Concentrations

                    At December 31, 2001, loans outstanding related to
                    agricultural operations or collateralized by agricultural
                    real estate aggregated approximately $67,137,000. At
                    December 31, 2001, there were no agriculture loans which
                    were accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; and there were no
                    agriculture loans which are contractually past due ninety
                    days or more as to interest or principal payments.

          D.   OTHER INTEREST-BEARING ASSETS

               Other than $326,000 in foreclosed real estate, there are no other
               interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 2001 which would be
               required to be disclosed under Item III. C. 1 or Item III. C. 2.
               if such assets were loans.

The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan losses are
judgmentally determined by management based upon periodic reviews of the loan
portfolio. In addition, management considered the level of charge-offs on loans
as well as the fluctuations of charge-offs and recoveries on loans in the
factors which caused these changes. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount
of loss is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by
management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently
anticipated based on past loss experience, economic conditions, information
about specific borrower situations including their financial position and
collateral values and other factors and estimates which are subject to change
over time.

*  In 2001, management established a revised methodology for allocating the
   allowance for loan losses which includes identifying specific allocations for
   impaired and problem loans and quantifying general allocations for other
   loans based on a detailed evaluation of historical loss ratios. Adjustments
   are then made to these amounts based on various quantifiable information
   related to individual portfolio risk factors. Additional adjustments are made
   based on a local and national economic trends and their estimated impact on
   the industries to which the Company extends credit. Prior to 2001, individual
   portfolio risk factors allocations were made on a more subjective basis.
   Management believes the new methodology more appropriately allocates the
   allowance for known and inherent risks within the individual loan portfolios.

While management's periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses may allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan
situations, the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that
occur.

                       EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

     Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. The Corporation believes that the nature of the operations of its
subsidiaries has little, if any, environmental impact. The Corporation,
therefore, anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental
control facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future.
The Corporation's subsidiaries may be required to make capital expenditures for
environmental control facilities related to properties which they may acquire
through foreclosure proceedings in the future; however, the amount of such
capital expenditures, if any, is not currently determinable.

NET INTEREST INCOME declined $647,000 from 2000 to $25.7 million in 2001 despite
a 4% growth in the net loan portfolio. The decrease was a direct result of the
effect on our asset sensitive balance sheet of 11 rate decreases which reduced
the prime rate from 9.50% to 4.75%. The net interest margin for 2001 was 3.81%
compared to 4.23% for the previous year. The unprecedented steep decline in the
prime rate compressed the net interest margin as the decline in interest income
on loans exceeded the pace of the decline in funding costs. The 42 basis point
decline in the net interest margin was largely due to a 58 basis point decrease
in the yield on earning assets from 8.92% to 8.34% which was not fully offset by
a 25 basis point decrease in the Company's cost of funds.

NET INTEREST INCOME for 2000 was $26.4 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or
14%, over 1999. The increase was primarily due to an 18% increase in the average
balance of net loans and a 66 basis point increase in the average yield on net
loans. The increase in loan yield, partially offset by a 75 basis point increase
in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities to 5.24% in 2000 from 4.49%
in 1999, along with volume increases in interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, combined to result in a decline of 6 basis points
in the tax equivalent net interest margin to 4.23% in 2000 from 4.29% in 1999.

NONINTEREST INCOME increased $2.9 million, or 26%, from 2000 to $14.2 million in
2001. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in data service
fees from the Company's bank data processing subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services,
Inc. ("RDSI"), an $849,000 increase in deposit service fees due to a new product
introduction, and a $1.1 million increase in gains on sale of loans and
securities. Growth in data processing fees and in deposit and servicing fees is
expected to continue, while gains on sale of loans are expected to decline as
refinancing slows. Significant gains on sale of securities are not anticipated
in 2002.




                                       32




TOTAL NONINTEREST INCOME increased $.2 million to $11.3 million in 2000 from
$11.1 million in 1999. This growth was driven by data service fees which
increased $.7 million (17%) to $5.1 million in 2000 compared to $4.4 million in
1999. The primary reasons for this increase were increases in the number of
customer accounts processed and in the level of sales of complementary data
processing products. The increase in the number of accounts was a result of
customer account growth at client banks. Deposit service fees increased $.3
million (19%) to $1.7 million. Gains on sale of loans decreased $.8 million to
$.4 million in 2000 as compared to $1.1 million in 1999. This decrease was the
result of lower volume of loan sales in 2000 compared to 1999.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE for the year 2001 was $28.0 million, up 5% from $26.8
million in 2000. The noninterest expense increase was limited to 5% as incentive
compensation declined by $750,000, resulting in an increase in compensation of
less than 1%. Employee benefits increased $270,000 or 9% primarily due to a
$224,000 or 28% increase in group insurance. Noninterest expense other than
salaries and benefits increased $911,000 or 8%.

TOTAL NONINTEREST EXPENSE increased $1.3 million (5%) to $26.8 million in 2000,
from $25.5 million in 1999, primarily due to the following factors. Salaries and
employee benefits increased $.7 million (4.9%) to $15.1 million in 2000 compared
to $14.4 million in 1999. This increase was due primarily to increases in ESOP
contributions and other employee benefits, as compensation expense from annual
merit increases was fully offset by the $.5 million reduction in salaries from
the discontinuation of operations at RMC. Equipment rentals, depreciation and
maintenance increased $.4 million primarily due to the upgrading of networking
and computer equipment and application software licenses.

ASSET QUALITY statistics reflect a significant increase in both nonperforming
assets and chargeoffs during 2001 compared to 2000 and 2000 compared to 1999.
Non-performing assets at December 31, 2001 were $15.0 million or 2.0% of total
assets, versus $8.9 million or 1.3% at December 31, 2000. Annual net chargeoffs
for 2001 were $6.7 million or 1.12 % of total loans compared to $1.1 million or
.19% for 2000. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans
was 63% at December 31, 2001 compared to 82% at December 31, 2000.

THE INCREASE IN THE LOAN LOSS PROVISION from $2.1 million in 2000 to $8.7
million in 2001 was due to chargeoffs primarily relating to severe weaknesses in
several commercial loans. After these charge-offs, provisions were recorded to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level reflective of the risk in the
portfolio. Evaluation of portfolio risk considered the impact of current
economic conditions on individual loans and on the overall loan portfolio, as
well as current levels of delinquencies, non-performing loans and internal loan
grades.

THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $2.1 million in 2000 compared to $1.2 million
in 1999 as the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2000 was 1.25% of loans
compared to 1.23% at December 31, 1999. The increase in the provision resulted
from nonperforming loans increasing to $8.8 million at December 31, 2000 from
$2.2 million at December 31, 1999.

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 and due from banks,
interest earning deposits in other financial institutions, securities
available-for sale and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred
to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $130 million at December 31, 2001
compared to $109 million at December 31, 2000.




                                       35


THE CORPORATION'S RESIDENTIAL FIRST MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO of $106.7 million at
December 31, 2001 and $107.7 million at December 31, 2000, which can and has
been readily used to collateralize borrowings, is an additional source of
liquidity. Management believes its current liquidity level is sufficient to meet
anticipated future growth.

THE CASH FLOW STATEMENTS for the periods presented provide an indication of the
Corporation's sources and uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability
of the Corporation to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of
the cash flow statements for 2001, 2000 and 1999 follows.

THE CORPORATION EXPERIENCED a net increase in cash from operating activities in
2001, 2000 and 1999. Net cash from operating activities was $8.4 million, $13.3
million and $14.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

NET CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES was $(47.7) million, $(75.7) million and
$(107.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The changes in net cash from investing activities include loan
growth, as well as normal maturities and reinvestments of securities and
premises and equipment expenditures. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Corporation
received $19.0 million, $9.1 million and $17.7 million, respectively, from sales
of securities available for sale, while proceeds from repayments, maturities and
calls of securities were $38.1 million, $8.8 million and $24.2 million in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

NET CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES was $46.2 million, $62.3 million, and
$86.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The net cash increase was primarily attributable to growth in
total deposits of $44.5 million, $47.0 million and $68.5 million in 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Other significant changes in 2001, 2000 and 1999
included $2.1 million, $12.1 million and $11.1 million in net borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank. Additionally, in 1999 $7.0 million of funding was
received under a line of credit, which was repaid in 2000 using funds provided
by $9.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated
debentures.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT involves developing and monitoring strategies to
maintain sufficient liquidity, maximize net interest income and minimize the
impact that significant fluctuations in market interest rates would have on
earnings. The business of the Corporation and the composition of its balance
sheet consists of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans,
mortgage-backed securities, and securities available for sale) which are
primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). With
the exception of loans which are originated and held for sale, all of the
financial instruments of the Corporation are for other than trading purposes.
All of the Corporation's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no
specific foreign exchange exposure. In addition, the Corporation has limited
exposure to commodity prices related to agricultural loans. The impact of
changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on interest rates are
assumed to be insignificant. The Corporation's financial instruments have
varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in
market risk. Interest rate risk is the Corporation's primary market risk
exposure; to a lesser extent, liquidity risk also impacts market risk exposure.



                                       36



INTEREST RATE RISK is the exposure of a banking institution's financial
condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an
important source of profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive
levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to the
Corporation's earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management
that maintains interest rate risks at prudent levels is essential to the
Corporation's safety and soundness.

EVALUATING A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S EXPOSURE to changes in interest rates
includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control
interest rate risk and the organization's quantitative level of exposure. When
assessing the interest rate risk management process, the Corporation seeks to
ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems,
and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risks at prudent
levels of consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of
interest rate risk exposure requires the Corporation to assess the existing and
potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated
financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and asset
quality (when appropriate).

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD together with the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, adopted a Joint Agency
Policy Statement on interest rate risk effective June 26, 1996. The policy
statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for
managing interest rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing evaluation of
the adequacy of interest rate risk management at supervised institutions. The
policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that
have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the
importance of these elements in the context of managing interest rate risk.
Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active Board of Director and
Senior Management oversight and a comprehensive risk management process that
effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest rate risk.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS derive their income primarily from the excess of interest
collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its
assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a
period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is
exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest rate
changes. For example, assume that an institution's assets carry intermediate or
long term fixed rates and that those assets are funded with short-term
liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term
liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution's interest
expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to
earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution's profits could
decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net
interest income or possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when
assets are subject to contractual interest rate ceilings, or rate sensitive
assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a declining rate
environment.

SEVERAL WAYS an institution can manage interest rate risk include: 1) matching
repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening
terms of new loans or investments; 2) selling existing assets or repaying
certain liabilities; and 3) hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated
transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial
instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest rate risk. Interest
rate swaps, futures contacts, options on futures contracts, and other such
derivative financial instruments can be used for this purpose. Because these
instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management's
expertise to be effective. The Corporation has not purchased derivative
financial instruments in the past and does not presently intend to purchase such
instruments.

QUANTITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE. The following table provides information
about the Corporation's financial instruments used for purposes other than
trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2001.
It does not present when these items may actually reprice. For loans receivable,
securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual
maturities as well as the Corporation's historical experience of the impact of
interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of loans and mortgage backed
securities. For core deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing checking,
savings, and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table
presents principal cash flows and, as applicable related weighted-average
interest rates based upon the Corporation's historical experience, management's
judgment and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely
withdrawal behaviors. The current historical interest rates for core deposits
have been assumed to apply for future periods in this table as the actual
interest rates that will need to be paid to maintain these deposits are not
currently known. Weighted average variable rates are based upon contractual
rates existing at the reporting date.

THE ABOVE TABLE reflects expected maturities, not expected repricing. The
contractual maturities adjusted for anticipated prepayments and anticipated
renewals at current interest rates, as shown in the preceding table, are only
part of the Corporation's interest rate risk profile. Other important factors
include the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities (which
takes into consideration loan repricing frequency but not when deposits may be
repriced) and the general level and direction of market interest rates. For core
deposits, the repricing frequency is assumed to be longer than when such
deposits actually reprice. For some rate sensitive liabilities, their repricing
frequency is the same as their contractual maturity. For variable rate loans
receivable, repricing frequency can be daily or monthly and for adjustable rate
loans receivable, repricing can be as frequent as annually for loans whose
contractual maturities range from one to thirty years. While increasingly
aggressive local market competition in lending rates has pushed loan rates
lower; the Corporation's increased reliance on non-core funding sources has
restricted the Corporation's ability to reduce funding rates in concert with
declines in lending rates. Therefore, tax equivalent net interest income as a
percentage of average interest earning assets declined from 4.29% in 1999 and
4.23% in 2000 to 3.81% in 2001.

THE CORPORATION MANAGES its interest rate risk by the employment of strategies
to assure that desired levels of both interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice with similar time frames. Such
strategies include; 1) loans receivable which are renewed(and repriced)
annually, 2) variable rate loans, 3) certificates of deposit with terms from one
month to six years and 4) securities available for sale which mature at various
times primarily from one through ten years 5) federal funds borrowings with
terms of one day to 90 days, and 6) Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings with terms
of one day to ten years.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY at December 31, 2001 increased to $50.8 million or 7.03% of
average total assets as compared to $50.1 million or 7.53% of average total
asset at December 31, 2000. The Company and RFCBC exceed all "well-capitalized"
regulatory capital benchmarks while State Bank exceeds the Tier 1 capital to
risk weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets "well-capitalized"
regulatory capital benchmarks and exceeds the Total Capital to risk weighted
assets "adequately-capitalized" regulatory capital benchmark. Banking regulatory
authorities periodically perform examinations of the Corporation's subsidiary
banks and, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review
the allowance for loan losses. Such authorities may require additions to the
allowance for loan losses based upon their judgement of the information
available to them at the time of their examination. Such authorities may also
require other adjustments or place various restrictions on the activities of the
Corporation's subsidiary banks.



                                       40



TOTAL REGULATORY (RISK-BASED) CAPITAL was $67.4 million at December 31, 2001 and
$66.3 million at December 31, 2000. The excess of total regulatory capital over
total shareholder equity is primarily due to the $10.0 million of junior
subordinated debentures (trust preferred securities) which qualify as tier 1
capital, and the allowance for loan losses which qualifies as tier 2 capital
subject to certain restrictions.

PLANNED PURCHASES OF PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

MANAGEMENT PLANS TO PURCHASE additional premises and equipment to meet the
current and future needs of the Corporation's customers. These purchases,
including buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment (which includes
computer hardware, software, office furniture and license agreements), are
currently expected to total approximately $6 million over the next year.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

THE MAJORITY OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES of the Corporation are monetary in nature
and therefore the Corporation differs greatly from most commercial and
industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or
inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of
total assets in the banking industry and the resulting need to increase equity
capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity
to assets ratio. Inflation significantly affects noninterest expense, which
tends to rise during periods of general inflation.

MANAGEMENT BELIEVES the most significant impact on financial results is the
Corporation's ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to
maintain an essentially balanced position between interest sensitive assets and
liabilities and actively manages the amount of securities available for sale in
order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations on net
income and shareholders' equity.

our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rurban Financial
Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Rurban Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Rurban Financial Corp. ("the Corporation") is a bank holding
company, organized under Ohio law, that owns all the outstanding stock of The
State Bank and Trust Company ("State Bank"), RFC Banking Company ("RFCBC"),
Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. ("RDSI"), Rurban Life Insurance Company ("Rurban
Life") and Rurban Statutory Trust 1 ("RST") (together referred to as "the
Corporation"). State Bank owns all of the outstanding stock of Reliance
Financial Services, N.A. ("RFS") and Rurban Mortgage Company ("RMC"). RFCBC was
created June 30, 2001 through the merger of The Peoples Banking Company ("PBC"),
The First National Bank of Ottawa ("FNB") and The Citizens Savings Bank Company
("CSB") , which were wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation prior to the
merger, and now operate as separate divisions under their long-standing names.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY SEGMENTS: Internal financial information is
primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business: banking and data
processing. For further discussion, see Note 19. The Corporation's subsidiary
banks grant credit and accept deposits from their customers in the normal course
of business primarily in northern Ohio. RDSI provides data processing services
to financial institutions located in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Prior to 2001,
Rurban Life accepted reinsurance ceded in part by other insurance companies from
the credit life and disability insurance purchased by customers of the
Corporation's subsidiary banks. During 2001, the Corporation's subsidiary banks
began using a third party insurance company to provide credit life and
disability insurance to customers. RFS offers a diversified array of trust and
financial services to customers nationwide. RST is a trust which was organized
in 2000 to manage the Corporation's junior subordinated debentures.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: The Corporation grants commercial and
agricultural, residential first mortgage and consumer loans to customers mainly
in northern Ohio. Commercial loans include loans collateralized by commercial
real estate, business assets and agricultural loans collateralized by crops and
farm equipment. Commercial and agricultural loans make up approximately 65% of
the loan portfolio and the loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from
operations of businesses. Residential first mortgage loans make up approximately
18% of the loan portfolio and are collateralized by first mortgages on
residential real estate. Consumer loans make up approximately 17% of the loan
portfolio and are primarily collateralized by consumer assets.

USE OF ESTIMATES: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes
estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and
assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for
loan losses, fair values of securities and other financial instruments, the
carrying value of loans held for sale and status of contingencies are
particularly subject to change.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

SECURITIES: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at
amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them
to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be
sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value,
with net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), net of tax, reported separately
in other comprehensive income (loss) and shareholders' equity. Securities are
classified as trading when held for short term periods in anticipation of market
gains, and are carried at fair value. Other securities such as FHLB stock are
carried at cost.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Gains and
losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. Securities
are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.
Also, see Note 3.

LOANS: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal
balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and
an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of
cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of
net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income is not
reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is
impaired or payments are past due over 90 days (180 days for residential
mortgages). Payments received on such loans are reported as principal
reductions.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for
loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates
the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and
volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations
of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is
available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off.
Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the
uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected.
Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature
such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an
individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the
allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair
value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

FORECLOSED ASSETS: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are
initially recorded at lower of cost or market when acquired, establishing a new
cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through
expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Foreclosed real estate amounted
to approximately $326,000 and $137,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and is
included in premises and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the
asset useful lives on an accelerated basis, except for buildings for which the
straight line basis is used. Maintenance and repairs are expensed and major
improvements are capitalized. Premises and equipment are reviewed for impairment
when events indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Also, see
Note 5.

SERVICING RIGHTS: Servicing rights are recognized as assets for purchased rights
and for the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold.
Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair
value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest
rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics.
Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiary banks and
RMC is amortized over 5 to 25 years using the straight-line method. Core deposit
intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years, the estimated
life of the deposits acquired. Goodwill and identified intangibles are assessed
for impairment based on estimated undiscounted cash flows, and written down if
necessary. As of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, unamortized goodwill totaled
approximately $179,000, $277,000 and $404,000, and unamortized core deposit
intangibles totaled approximately $-0-, $23,000 and $106,000.

BENEFIT PLANS: The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan for which
contributions are made and expensed annually. The Corporation also provides
split-dollar life insurance plans for certain executive officers of the
Corporation. Also, the Corporation sponsors a supplemental retirement plan for
certain executive officers of the Corporation. Employee benefits are discussed
further in Note 10.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

STOCK COMPENSATION: Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is
reported if options are granted below market price at grant date. Pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share are shown using the fair value
method of SFAS No. 123 to measure expense for options granted after 1994, using
an option pricing model to estimate fair value. The stock option plan is
discussed further in Note 10.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP): The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but
not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders'
equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are
committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP
shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt
and accrued interest. The ESOP is discussed further in Note 10.

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS: The Corporation sponsors a postretirement
health care plan that covers both salaried and nonsalaried employees. The
Corporation accrues, during the years that employees render the necessary
service, the expected cost of providing postretirement health care benefits to
employees and their beneficiaries and covered dependents. The Corporation's
postretirement health care plan provides that retired employees may remain on
the Corporation's health care plan with each retiree's out-of-pocket
contribution to the Corporation equal to their premium expense determined
exclusively on the loss experience of the retirees in the plan.

INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due
or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed,
reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Also, see
Note 12.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK: The Corporation, in the
normal course of business, makes commitments to extend credit which are not
reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Such financial instruments
are recorded when they are funded. A summary of these commitments is disclosed
in Note 14.

DERIVATIVES: All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If
derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change
in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current
earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in
other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged
transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are
reflected in earnings as they occur.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

STOCK DIVIDENDS AND STOCK SPLITS: Dividends issued in stock are reported by
transferring the market value of the stock issued from retained earnings to
common stock or treasury stock and additional paid-in capital. Stock splits are
recorded by adjusting common stock and additional paid in capital by the par
value of the additional shares. On August 16, 2000, the Board of Directors
declared a 5% stock dividend, paid on September 29, 2000, increasing shares
outstanding by 206,520 shares. On August 15, 2001, the Board of Directors
declared a 5% stock dividend, paid September 28, 2001, increasing shares
outstanding by 216,744 shares.

EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per common share is net
income divided by the weighted average number of common shares considered to be
outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this
calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the
dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock
options. Earnings and dividends per common share are restated for all stock
splits and dividends. Also, see Note 2.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income
and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss)
includes the net change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
securities available for sale, net of tax, which is also recognized as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. Also, see Note 18.

LOSS CONTINGENCIES: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the
likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. Management believes that there currently are no such matters that
would have a material effect on the financial statements.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTION: Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the
subsidiaries to transfer funds to Rurban Financial Corp. in the form of cash
dividends, loans or advances. Approximately $3,100,000 of undistributed earnings
of the subsidiaries, included in consolidated retained earnings is available for
distribution to Rurban Financial Corp. as dividends as of December 31, 2001,
without prior regulatory approval. Banking regulations also require maintaining,
certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the banks to the
Corporation or the Corporation to shareholders. Also, see Note 17.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed in Note 16. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and
other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect such
estimates.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents is defined to include cash on hand and amounts due from financial
institutions with original maturities under 90 days. The Corporation reports net
cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions, short-term borrowings
with original maturities of 90 days or less and interest-bearing deposits in
other financial institutions.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: A new accounting standard requires all business
combinations to be recorded using the purchase method of accounting for any
transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. Under the purchase method, all
identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired
company must be recorded at fair value at date of acquisition, and the excess of
cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives will be amortized under
the new standard, whereas goodwill, both amounts previously recorded and future
amounts purchased, will cease being amortized starting in 2002. Annual
impairment testing will be required for goodwill with impairment being recorded
if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Adoption of
this standard on January 1, 2002 will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.

NOTE 8 - JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

On September 7, 2000, Rurban Statutory Trust 1 ("RST"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Corporation, closed a pooled private offering of 10,000
Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The
proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Corporation in exchange for junior
subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities. The sole
assets of RST are the junior subordinated debentures of the Corporation and
payments thereunder. The junior subordinated debentures and the back-up
obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by
the Corporation of the obligations of RST under the Capital Securities.
Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable semi-annually at the annual
rate of 10.6% and are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial
statements. These securities are considered Tier 1 capital (with certain
limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines. As of December 31,
2001 and 2000, the outstanding principal balance of the Capital Securities was
$10,000,000. The principal balance of the Capital Securities less unamortized
issuance costs constitute the junior subordinated debentures in the financial
statements.

NOTE 8 - JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued)

The junior subordinated debentures are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole
or in part, upon repayment of the Capital Securities at maturity or their
earlier redemption at the liquidation amount. Subject to the Corporation having
received prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required, the Capital
Securities are redeemable prior to the maturity date of September 7, 2030, at
the option of the Corporation; on or after September 7, 2020 at par; or on or
after September 7, 2010 at a premium, or upon occurrence of specific events
defined within the trust indenture. The Corporation has the option to defer
distributions on the Capital Securities from time to time for a period not to
exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods.


NOTE 9 - OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

The Corporation has a line of credit from The Northern Trust Company for up to
$15,000,000. The line of credit is unsecured and requires monthly interest
payments with full principal payment at maturity on April 27, 2002. The interest
rate is variable based on the current federal funds rate and adjusts daily. The
line of credit had an outstanding balance of zero at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Subsequent to year end, $7 million was borrowed on this line of credit. The line
of credit agreement contains various covenants with which the Corporation must
comply. The Corporation was granted a waiver of two covenants through December
31, 2001. However, the Corporation was in violation of one additional covenant
at December 31, 2001 and recently has requested a waiver of that covenant.


NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN: The Corporation has a noncontributory employee
stock ownership plan ("ESOP") covering substantially all employees of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries. Voluntary contributions are made by the
Corporation to the plan. Each eligible employee is vested based upon years of
service, including prior years of service. Contributions to the ESOP were
$736,000, $519,000 and $260,000, and related expense attributable to the plan
included in salaries and employee benefits was approximately $886,000, $967,000
and $572,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Corporation's
contributions to the account of each employee become fully vested after three
years of service.

Distributions to plan participants may be paid in cash or stock upon their
termination of employment. During 2001 and 2000, 18,765 and 21,562 shares were
withdrawn from the ESOP by participants who terminated their employment with the
Company.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)

During 1996, the ESOP borrowed $1,505,527 from the Corporation to purchase
103,368 shares of common stock at a weighted average cost of $14.57 per share.
Collateral for the loan is the unearned shares of common stock purchased by the
ESOP with the loan proceeds. The loan will be repaid principally from the
Corporation's discretionary contributions to the ESOP. The interest rate for the
loan is 7.75%. Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in suspense until allocated
among ESOP participants as the loan is repaid. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the
ESOP allocated 81,429 shares, 51,820 shares and 14,858 shares. Allocations of
shares during 2001 and 2000 included 55,322 and 48,947 shares purchased on the
open market and 26,107 and 2,873 shares from unearned shares.

The ESOP shares as of December 31 were as follows:

The Corporation accounts for its ESOP under AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP")
93-6. Compensation expense is recorded based on the average market price of the
shares committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts and cash
allocated to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and
the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to
additional paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares are reflected
as a reduction of debt and accrued interest or as a contribution to participant
accounts.

STOCK OPTION PLAN: On March 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
adopted the Rurban Financial Corp. Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan"). The
purpose of the Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation and
its shareholders by granting directors, officers, and key employees of the
Corporation options to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation. A
total of 441,000 shares of the Corporation's authorized and unissued common
stock were reserved for issuance under the Option Plan. The option exercise
price shall not be less than the fair market value (as defined in the Option
Plan) of the common stock on the date the option is granted, and the option term
cannot exceed 10 years.

The Corporation applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees
and related interpretations in accounting for its Option Plan. Accordingly, no
compensation expense has been recognized for the Option Plan. SFAS No. 123,
Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation requires pro forma disclosures for
entities that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based
compensation. Had compensation cost for stock options been measured using SFAS
No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts
indicated below. The pro forma effect may increase in the future if more options
are granted.

401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN: The Corporation has 401(k) profit sharing plans. The
annual expense of the plans is based on 50% matching of voluntary employee
contributions of up to 6% of individual compensation. Employee contributions are
vested immediately and the Corporation's matching contributions are fully vested
after three years. The plans cover substantially all employees of the
Corporation. Expense attributable to the plans, included in salaries and
employee benefits, was approximately $297,000, $278,000 and $220,000 in 2001,
2000 and 1999.

LIFE INSURANCE PLANS: Life insurance plans are provided for certain executive
officers on a split-dollar basis. The Corporation is the owner of the
split-dollar policies. The officers are entitled to a sum equal to two times
either the employee's annual salary at death, if actively employed, or final
annual salary, if retired, less $50,000, not to exceed the employee's portion of
the death benefit. The Corporation is entitled to the remainder of the death
proceeds less any loans on the policy and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals
previously incurred by the Corporation. The employees have the right to
designate a beneficiary(s) to receive their share of the proceeds payable upon
death. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies and life
insurance policies related to the Corporation's supplemental retirement plan
totaled approximately $2,610,000 and $2,503,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN: The Corporation established a supplemental
retirement plan for selected officers. The Corporation has purchased insurance
contracts on the lives of certain participants in the supplemental retirement
plan and has named the Corporation as beneficiary. While no direct contract
exists between the supplemental retirement plan and the life insurance
contracts, it is management's current intent that the proceeds from the
insurance contracts will be used to help offset earlier payments made under the
supplemental retirement plan. The Corporation is recording an expense equal to
the projected present value of the payments due at retirement based on the
projected remaining years of service using the straight line method. The
obligations under the plans, net of payments already made, was approximately
$1,164,615 and $1,015,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and is included in other
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The expense attributable to the
plans, included in salaries and employee benefits, was approximately $192,000,
$236,000 and $165,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to make loans, unused lines of
credit and standby letters of credit. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss
in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments
for commitments to make loans, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit
and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The Corporation follows the same credit policy to make such
commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

The Corporation has the following commitments for terms of up to two years
outstanding at December 31:



                                                                                             2001                   2000
                                                                                             ----                   ----

                                                                                                         
         Loan commitments and unused lines of credit                                    $152,106,000           $139,705,000
         Standby letters of credit                                                         1,795,000              2,394,000
         Commercial letters of credit                                                         11,000                 60,000
                                                                                        ------------           ------------

                                                                                        ============           ============


Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does
not necessarily represent future cash commitments. In addition, commitments to
extend credit are arrangements to lend to customers as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. No losses are
anticipated as a result of these transactions. Collateral obtained upon exercise
of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the
borrower and may include real estate, business assets, consumer assets, deposits
and other items.

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is
not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations.

Salary continuation agreements with certain executive officers contain
provisions regarding certain events leading to separation from the Corporation,
before the executive officer's normal retirement date, which could result in
cash payments in excess of amounts already accrued.

The Corporation was required to have approximately $5,193,000 and $4,777,000 of
cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory
reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2001 and 2000. These balances
do not earn interest. Additionally, the Corporation was required to have
approximately $1,250,000 of cash on deposit to meet other clearing requirements
at December 31, 2001 and 2000. This balance does earn interest.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair values, the following
assumptions were used as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. The estimated fair value
for cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable, cash surrender value
of life insurance and accrued interest payable are considered to approximate
cost. The estimated fair value for interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions and securities available for sale is based on quoted market values
for the individual deposits or securities or for equivalent deposits or
securities. The estimated fair value for loans is based on estimates of the
difference in interest rates the Corporation would charge the borrowers for
similar such loans with similar maturities made at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
applied for an estimated time period until the loan is assumed to reprice or be
paid and the allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate
of discount for credit quality concerns. The estimated fair value for demand
deposits and savings deposits and federal funds purchased, is based on their
carrying value. The estimated fair value for time deposits, fixed rate advances
from the FHLB and the junior subordinated debentures is based on estimates of
the rate the Corporation would pay on such deposits or borrowings at December
31, 2001 and 2000, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated
fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan
commitments approximate cost at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and are not
considered significant to this presentation.

While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the
most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Corporation to
have disposed of such items at December 31, 2001 and 2000, the estimated fair
values would necessarily have been realized at that date, since market values
may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at
December 31, 2001 and 2000 should not necessarily be considered to apply at
subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Corporation that are not
defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such
as premises and equipment. Also, non-financial instruments typically not
recognized in the financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not
included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the
estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of
trust assets, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items.


NOTE 17 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital
requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy
guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are
also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in
certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate
regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 17 - REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition. If less than well capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The minimum
requirements are:

NOTE 19 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered,
primarily distinguished between banking and data processing operations. Loans,
investments, deposits, and financial services provide the revenues in the
banking segment and include the accounts of State Bank and RFCBC in 2001 and the
accounts of State Bank, PBC, FNB and CSB in 2000 and 1999. Service fees provide
the revenues in the data processing operation and include the accounts of RDSI.
Other segments include the accounts of the holding company, Rurban Financial
Corp., which provides management services to its subsidiaries and RFS, which
provides trust and financial services to customers nationwide and Rurban Life,
which provides insurance products to customers of the Corporation's subsidiary
banks.

The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies. Segment performance is evaluated using net
interest income, other revenue, operating expense, and net income. Goodwill is
allocated. Income taxes and indirect expenses are allocated on revenue.
Transactions among segments are made at fair value. The holding company
allocates certain expenses to other segments. Information reported internally

During the fourth quarter of 2000 and second, third and fourth quarters of 2001,
an additional provision for loan losses was recorded due to the levels of
