                            PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.


Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared
by Park National Corporation (the "Registrant", "Corporation", "Company", or
"Park") without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made.
The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the balance
sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of changes in
stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain amounts in 2001 have been
reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation used for 2002.

Park does not have any off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments such
as interest-rate swap agreements.


Note 2 - ACQUISITIONS

On March 23, 2001, Park merged with Security Banc Corporation, a $995 million
bank holding company headquartered in Springfield, Ohio in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Park issued approximately 3,350,000
shares of common stock to the stockholders of Security Banc Corporation based
upon an exchange ratio of .284436 shares of Park common stock for each
outstanding share of Security Banc Corporation common stock. The three financial
institution subsidiaries of Security Banc Corporation (The Security National
Bank and Trust Co., The Citizens National Bank of Urbana, and The Third Savings
and Loan Company) are being operated as two separate banking subsidiaries by
Park.

The Third Savings and Loan Company is now being operated as a separate division
of The Security National Bank and Trust Co. under the name of Unity National and
The Citizens National Bank of Urbana is also being operated as a separate
banking subsidiary of Park.

On December 13, 2001, Security National Bank and Trust Company acquired a branch
office in Jamestown, Ohio. In addition to the fixed assets, the purchase
included $15 million in deposits

                                       -9-



and $3 million in loans. The excess of the cost over net tangible assets
purchased was $1 million and is being amortized using the straight-line method
over seven years.

Note 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets, such as core
deposit intangibles, will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Park had approximately $7.5 million of goodwill on its balance sheet at December
31, 2001. This goodwill was evaluated for impairment during the first quarter of
2002 and a determination made that the goodwill was not impaired and that the
book value of the goodwill would continue to be shown as $7.5 million. No
amortization expense is being recorded on the goodwill in 2002 compared to
amortization expense of $94,000 for the first quarter of 2001 and $375,000 for
the year 2001. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the statement
increased net income by $94,000 or $.01 per share in the first quarter of 2002
and is expected to increase net income by $375,000 or $.03 per share for the
entire year.

Note 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb credit
losses in the loan portfolio based on management's evaluation of various factors
including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans,
prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision
for loan losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic
evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This discussion and analysis by management contains forward-looking statements
that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial
performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties including changes in general economic and financial market
conditions and Park's ability to execute its business plans. Although Park
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, actual results may differ materially. Undue reliance should not be
placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. Park does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statement.


    Comparison of Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2002
                                    and 2001.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Park's principal source of earnings is net interest income, the difference
between total interest income and total interest expense. Net interest income
increased by $6.8 million or 15.0% to $52.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 compared to $45.4 million for the first quarter of 2001. The
following table compares the average balance and tax equivalent yield/cost for
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter
of 2002 with the same quarter in 2001.

Average interest earning assets increased by $270 million or 6.9% to $4,172
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same quarter in
2001. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 7.38% for the
first quarter of 2002 compared to 8.55% for the first quarter of 2001.

                                      -13-



Average loan totals decreased by $182 million or 6.2% to $2,747 million for the
first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. The demand for
commercial, commercial real estate, and consumer loans and leases secured by
automobiles decreased sharply during the first quarter of 2001 and stayed weak
for the remainder of 2001. The demand for commercial and commercial real estate
loans improved during the first quarter of 2002, but the demand for consumer
loans and leases secured by automobiles remains weak. The demand for fixed rate
long-term residential mortgage loans has been strong for the past several
quarters, but these loans are sold by Park in the secondary market. This
activity, the origination and sale of fixed rate mortgage loans, produced a
significant increase in fee income during the last three quarters of 2001 and
the first quarter of 2002, but did not increase loan balances since the loans
are sold.
Many borrowers took advantage of the low interest rate environment to refinance
their adjustable rate mortgage loan into a fixed rate mortgage loan which
reduces the loan balances reported on the balance sheet.

Total loan balances have decreased each quarter for the past five quarters. The
decrease in loans was $43 million for the first quarter of 2001, $27 million for
the second quarter of 2001, $22 million for the third quarter of 2001, $68
million for the fourth quarter of 2001, and $71 million for the first quarter of
2002. As stated previously, the demand for commercial and commercial real estate
loans improved during the first quarter of 2002, as our commercial lenders have
seen a marked increase in loan applications. Management is hopeful that loan
balances will stabilize during the second quarter of 2002 and increase during
the second half of 2002 as the economy recovers from the recession which started
a year ago.

The average yield on the loan portfolio was 7.89% for the first quarter of 2002
compared to 9.15% for the same period in 2001. The average prime lending rate
for Park's affiliate banks was 4.75% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to
8.62% for the first quarter of 2001. Approximately 25% of Park's loan portfolio
reprices based on the prime lending rate. The yield on Park's loan portfolio is
expected to decrease next quarter as variable rate loans reprice lower and new
loan originations have an average rate that is lower than the current loan
portfolio rate.

Average investment securities including federal funds sold increased by $452
million or 46.4% to $1,425 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to
$973 million for the first quarter of 2001. The increase in the investment
portfolio was funded by a decrease in loans and by increases in deposits and
total borrowed funds. The average yield on taxable investment securities
decreased to 6.43% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 6.75% for the same
period in 2001 and the average yield on federal funds sold decreased to 1.78% in
2002 compared to 5.87% for the first quarter of 2001. The yield on taxable
investment securities is expected to decrease next quarter as new investment
purchases yield less than investment maturities. The yield on tax exempt
investments increased to 7.17% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 6.93%
for the same quarter in 2001. No tax exempt securities were purchased in the
past year and the tax exempt investment maturities yield was less than the
portfolio rate. The average maturity of the investment portfolio was 3.6 years
at March 31, 2002 compared to 3.9 years at March 31, 2001.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $216 million or 6.7% to $3,442
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same quarter in
2001. Average interest bearing deposits increased by $131 million or 4.9% to
$2,829 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in
2001. Average short-term borrowings increased by $28 million

                                      -14-



or 10.9% to $281 million and average long-term debt increased by $57 million or
20.8% to $331 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period
in 2001.

The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 1.82% to 2.67% in
2002 compared to 4.49% in 2001. The average cost of interest bearing deposits
decreased by 1.73% to 2.64% in 2002 compared to 4.37% in 2001. The average cost
of short-term borrowings decreased by 3.10% to 1.60% in 2002 compared to 4.70%
in 2001 and the average cost of long-term debt decreased by 1.71% to 3.79% in
2002 compared to 5.50% in 2001.

The increase in net interest income of $6.8 million or 15.0% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 was due to both an increase in average interest earning
assets of 6.9% and an increase of .65% in the net interest spread (the
difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest
bearing liabilities) to 4.71%. The tax equivalent net interest margin (defined
as net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) increased by
...35% to 5.18% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 4.83% in 2001.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased by $2.26 million or 100% to $4.5 million
for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $2.26 million for the first quarter of
2001. Net charge-offs were $3.8 million in 2002 compared to $1.6 million in
2001. Nonperforming loans, defined as loans that are 90 days past due,
renegotiated loans, and nonaccrual loans were $28.4 million or 1.04% of loans at
March 31, 2002 compared to $27.1 million or .97% of loans at December 31, 2001
and $21.2 million or .73% of loans at March 31, 2001. The reserve for loan
losses as a percentage of outstanding loans was 2.23% at March 31, 2002 compared
to 2.14% at December 31, 2001 and 2.00% at March 31, 2001. See Footnote 4 for a
discussion of the factors considered by management in determining the provision
for loan losses. Management has recently seen improvement in the economy in
central Ohio, and is hopeful that net charge-offs will be reduced next quarter.


 NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased by $1.6 million or 16.1% to $11.8 million for the
first quarter of 2002 compared to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2001.
The following table summarizes the change in noninterest income.

The large increase in fees earned from Other Service Income was primarily due to
an increase in the fee income earned from the origination and sale into the
secondary market of fixed rate mortgage loans due to lower interest rates. The
increase in Other Income was primarily due to increases in check card and ATM
transactions.


GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF SECURITIES

The loss on sale of securities of $210,000 for the first quarter of 2002 was due
to the sale of $100 million of U.S. Government Agency collateralized mortgage
obligations. These securities were sold to reduce the maturity extension risk in
the investment portfolio.

The gain on sale of securities of $142,000 for the first quarter of 2001 was due
to the sale of United States Treasury notes with the proceeds reinvested in U.S.
Government Agency mortgage-backed securities. The agency mortgage-backed
securities yield 1.70% more than the give-up yield on the Treasury notes.


OTHER EXPENSE

Total other expense increased by $2.2 million or 8.3% to $29.2 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to $27.0 million for the same period in
2001. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $1.7 million or 11.6%
to $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $14.6 million for the
first quarter of 2001. Full time equivalent employees were 1,585 at March 31,
2002 compared to 1,562 at March 31, 2001.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Federal income tax expense was $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2002
compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2001. The ratio of federal
income tax expense to income before taxes was approximately 28.7% in 2002 and
2001. The primary difference between the effective federal income tax rate and
the statutory rate of 35% is due to tax-exempt interest income from state and
municipal loans and investments, and low income housing tax credits.


NET INCOME

Net income increased by $2.6 million or 13.5% to $21.45 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $18.89 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The annualized first quarter net income to average assets
ratio (ROA) was 1.95% in 2002 compared to 1.85% in 2001. The annualized, first
quarter net income to average equity ratio (ROE) was 18.48% in 2002 compared to
17.33% in 2001.

Diluted earnings per share increased by 14.2% to $1.53 for the first quarter of
2002 compared to $1.34 for the same quarter in 2001.

                        COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AT MARCH 31, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001



CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Total assets decreased by $144 million or 3.1% to $4,426 million at March 31,
2002 compared to $4,570 million at December 31, 2001. Total loans decreased by
$71 million or 2.6% to $2,725 million as the demand for loans continues to be
weak. The demand for commercial and commercial real estate loans increased
during the month of March and management is hopeful that total loans will
stabilize during the second quarter and grow during the second half of the year
as the economy recovers from the recession which started a year ago.

Total liabilities decreased by $147 million or 3.6% to $3,954 million at March
31, 2002 compared to $4,101 million at December 31, 2001. Total borrowed money
decreased by $148 million or 20.8% to $563 million at March 31, 2002 compared to
$711 million at December 31, 2001. Borrowed money was repaid with excess
available funds which resulted from the weak loan demand during the first
quarter.

Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of
depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the
Corporation, are met.

Funds are available from a number of sources, including the securities
portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the
capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation's loan to
asset ratio was 61.56% at March 31, 2002 compared to 61.18% at December 31, 2001
and 70.01% at March 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $127 million at
March 31, 2002 compared to $169 million at December 31, 2001 and $134 million at
March 31, 2001. The present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity
for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2002 was $472 million or 10.66% of total
assets compared to $468 million or 10.25% of total assets at December 31, 2001
and $452 million or 10.86% of total assets at March 31, 2001.

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital
ratios for banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies. The net unrealized gain
or loss on available-for-sale securities is generally not included in computing
regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as stockholders'
equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well
capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 5%. Park's leverage ratio was
10.10% at March 31, 2002 and 9.97% at December 31, 2001. The minimum Tier I
risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted
assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 6%.
Park's Tier I risk-based capital ratio was


                                      -17-



15.44% at March 31, 2002 and 14.84% at December 31, 2001. The minimum total
risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital
divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized ratio is greater
than or equal to 10%. Park's total risk-based capital ratio was 16.70% at March
31, 2002 and 16.09% at December 31, 2001.

The financial institution subsidiaries of Park each met the well capitalized
capital ratio guidelines at March 31, 2002. The following table indicates the
capital ratios for each subsidiary and Park at March 31, 2002:

At the April 15, 2002 Park National Corporation Board of Directors' meeting, a
cash dividend of $.76 per share was declared payable on June 10, 2002 to
stockholders of record on May 24, 2002.





ITEM 3  -  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

See Footnote 1 for disclosure that Park does not have any off-balance sheet
derivative financial instruments.

Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis by modeling
the financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary
reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen
changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes
in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the
disclosure on pages 31 and 32 of our 2001 Annual Report, which is incorporated
by reference into our 2001 Form 10-K.
