General Description of Holding Company Group
State Bank
State Bank is an Ohio state-chartered bank. State Bank presently
operates six branch offices in Defiance County, Ohio (five in the city of
Defiance and one in Ney), three branch offices in adjacent Paulding County, Ohio
(one each in Paulding, Oakwood and Grover Hill) and three branch offices in

State Bank offers a full range of commercial banking services,
including checking and NOW accounts; passbook savings and money market accounts;
time certificates of deposit; automatic teller machines; commercial, consumer,
agricultural and residential mortgage loans (including "Home Value Equity" line

RFS is a nationally-chartered trust and financial services company and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Bank. RFS offers various trust and financial
services, including asset management services for individuals and corporate
employee benefit plans, as well as brokerage services through Raymond James
Financial, Inc.
RFS has one office located in State Bank's main offices in Defiance,
Ohio. At December 31, 2003, RFS had 16.5 full-time equivalent employees.
RMC
RMC is an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of State Bank.
RMC is a mortgage company; however, it ceased originating mortgage loans in the
second quarter of 2000.
At December 31, 2003, RMC had no employees.
RFCBC
On March 28, 2003, the Citizens Savings Banks, a division of RFCBC, was
sold.
2.
On June 6, 2003, the Peoples Banking Company and First Bank of Ottawa,
divisions of RFCBC, were sold.
RFCBC ceased doing banking business in June 2003 following the branch
sales, and formally relinquished its banking powers in September 2003. RFCBC now
operates as a loan subsidiary in servicing and working out the problem loans
that were retained after the branch sales.
RDSI
RDSI is an Ohio state-charted company that commenced operations in June
1976. RDSI has offices in six locations: three offices in Defiance, Ohio, one
office each in Glandorf, Ohio, Fremont, Ohio and Chesterfield, Missouri.
RDSI delivers software systems to the banking industry which provide a
broad range of data processing services in an outsourced environment utilizing
Information Technology Inc. (ITI) software.
Rurban Life
Rurban Life commenced its business of transacting insurance as an
Arizona life and disability reinsurer in January 1988. Rurban Life accepts
reinsurance ceded in part by American General Assurance Company ("AGAC") from
the credit life and disability insurance purchased by customers of State Bank
from AGAC in connection with revolving credit loans secured by mortgages and
with certain installment loans. The operations of Rurban Life do not materially
impact the consolidated results of operations of the Company. As of December 31,
2003, Rurban Life has not accepted any other reinsurance. In August 2000, the
Company's banks ceased issuing credit life and disability insurance contracts
through AGAC. In September 2000, the Company's banks entered into agreements
with Individual Assurance Corporation ("IAC") and began issuing credit life and
disability insurance contract through IAC. At December 31, 2003, Rurban Life had
no employees.
RST
RST is a trust and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was
organized in August 2000. In September 2000, RST 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 Company in exchange
for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities.
The sole assets of RST are the junior subordinated debentures and the back-up
obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by
the Company of the obligations of RST under the Capital Securities.
See Note 26 of the Financials, pages F-38 and F-39, for the Company's segment
information.
Competition
State Bank experiences 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, 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.
State Bank's 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.
3.
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 coverage, 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 Company and its subsidiaries. The summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
Regulation of Bank Holding Companies and Their Subsidiaries in General
The Company is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended, which restricts the activities of the Company and the
acquisition by the Company of voting shares or assets of any bank, savings
association or other company. The Company is also subject to the reporting
requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board.
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.
RFS, as a nationally-chartered trust company, is regulated by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (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. The deposits of
State Bank are insured by the FDIC and 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 insured
financial institution's capital shortfall, as discussed below.
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.
Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United
States and the State of Ohio affect the operations of State Bank, 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 Home Loan Banks ("FHLBs") provide credit to their members
in the form of advances. As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, State bank must
maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati in an
amount equal to the greater of 1% of the aggregate outstanding
4.
principal amount of State Bank's residential mortgage loans, home purchase
contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5% of its
advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. State Bank was in compliance with this
requirement at December 31, 2003.
Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, each FHLB is
required by law to obtain and maintain a security interest in collateral in one
or more of the following categories: fully-disbursed, whole first mortgage loans
on improved residential property not more than 90 days delinquent or securities
representing a whole interest in such loans; securities issued, insured or
guaranteed by the United States Government or an agency thereof; deposits in any
FHLB; or other real estate related collateral acceptable to he applicable FHLB,
if such collateral has a readily ascertainable value and the FHLB can perfect
its security interest in the collateral.
Each FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment or
service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term
advances from the FHLB. The standards take into account a member's performance
under the Community Reinvestment Act and its record of lending to first-time
home buyers. All long-term advances by each FHLB must be made only to provide
funds for residential housing finance.
Written Agreement
On July 5, 2002, the Company and State Bank entered into a Written
Agreement ("Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Ohio
Division of Financial Institutions. The Agreement was the result of an
examination of State Bank as of December 31, 2001, which was conducted in March
and April 2002. A copy of the Agreement was attached as Exhibit 99(b) to the
Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 11, 2002 and is incorporated by reference
as Exhibit 99(b) to this Form 10-K.
As of December 2003, Management believes that the Company and State
Bank were in full compliance with the terms of the Agreement. However, the
Agreement will continue in place until the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and
the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions determine that the Agreement may be
terminated. The Company believes that additional improvement in problem loans,
earnings and operations, as well as other items described in the Agreement, is
necessary before the Agreement may be terminated, and management cannot predict
when that may occur.
Under the terms of the Agreement, State Bank and RFCBC are prohibited
from paying dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval. The
Agreement also prohibits the Company from paying trust preferred "dividends" and
common stock dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Dividends
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement with the federal
and state banking regulators described above, the ability of the 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
subsidiaries. State Bank may not pay dividends to the Company if, after paying
such dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the
risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio requirements. State
Bank 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 Company's ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common
shares. Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board expects the Company 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 Company.
5.
Transactions with Affiliates, Directors, Executive Officers and Shareholders
Regulation W became effective on April 1, 2003 and comprehensively
implements Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Sections 23A and 23B
and Regulation W restrict transactions by banks and their subsidiaries with
their affiliates. An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank.
Generally, Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W:
- limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may
engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an
amount equal to 10% of that bank's capital stock and surplus
(i.e., tangible capital);
- limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may
engage in "covered transactions" with all affiliates to 20% of
that bank's capital stock and surplus; and
- require that all covered transactions be on terms
substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank
or subsidiary, as those provided to non-affiliates.
The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets,
issuance of a guarantee and similar types of transactions.
A bank's authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors
and greater than 10% shareholders, as well as entities such persons control, is
subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O
promulgated thereunder by the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these
loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to
unaffiliated individuals or be made under a benefit or compensation program and
on terms widely available to employees and must not involve a greater than
normal risk of repayment. In addition, the amount of loans a bank may make to
these persons is based, in part, on the bank's capital position, and specified
approval procedures must be followed in making loans which exceed specified
amounts.
Regulatory Capital
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for
bank holding companies and for state member banks, such as State Bank. The FDIC
has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for non-member banks, including RFCBC.
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 certain amounts of mandatory convertible debt
securities, subordinated debt, preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital,
an allowance for loan and lease losses and net unrealized, after applicable
taxes, on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair
values, all subject to limitations established by the guidelines. 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. Failure to meet applicable
capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of
enforcement remedies available to federal and state regulatory authorities,
including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.
6.
The federal banking regulators have established regulations governing
prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks. The regulations
establish five capital level categories: well capitalized, adequately
capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized. 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 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 Company, State Bank and RFCBC at year end 2003 were categorized as
well capitalized. The Company and RFCBC at year end 2002 were categorized as
adequately capitalized while State Bank was categorized as well capitalized.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
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 is a member 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.
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.
7.
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 Company has opted not to become a
financial holding company. The Company intends to continue to analyze the
proposed advantages and disadvantages of becoming a financial holding company on
a periodic basis.
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 AND RELATED RULES AFFECTING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for
accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to
protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate
disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws. The changes are intended to
allow shareholders to monitor the performance of companies and directors more
easily and efficiently.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies, both U.S.
and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC
under the Exchange Act. Further, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific
additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires
the SEC, securities exchanges and The NASDAQ Stock Market to adopt extensive
additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates
further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General of the
United States. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to
many of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act's new requirements, the final scope of many of
these requirements remains to be determined.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses, among other matters: increased
responsibilities of audit committees; corporate responsibility for financial
reports; a requirement that chief executive and chief financial officers forfeit
certain bonuses and profits if their companies issue an accounting restatement
as a result of misconduct; a prohibition on insider trading during pension fund
black-out periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; conditions for
the use of pro forma financial information; a prohibition on personal loans to
directors and executive officers (excluding loans by insured depository
institutions that are subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal
Reserve Act); expedited filing requirements for stock transaction reports by
officers and directors; the formation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal penalties for
violations of securities laws.
As mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") has adopted rules and regulations governing, among other
issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation,
and enhanced the timely disclosure of corporate information. The SEC has also
approved corporate governance rules promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
("Nasdaq"). The Board of Directors of the Company has taken a series of actions
to comply with the new Nasdaq and SEC rules and to further strengthen its
corporate governance practices. The Company implemented a Code of Conduct and
Ethics in 2003 and a copy of that policy can be found on the Company's website
at www.rurbanfinancial.net under the corporate governance tab.

I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY; INTEREST
RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (Continued)
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 2003, 2002 and
2001.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company grants commercial, real estate and
installment loans to customers mainly in northwest Ohio. Commercial loans
include loans collateralized by commercial real estate, business assets and, in

2003, commercial and agricultural loans made up approximately 66.3% of the loan
portfolio and the loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations
of businesses. As of December 31, 2003, residential first mortgage loans made up
approximately 16.4% of the loan portfolio and are collateralized by first
mortgages on residential real estate. As of December 31, 2003, consumer loans to

III. LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued)
Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2003 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.
2003
--------------
(In thousands)
Gross interest income that would have been recorded in 2003 on impaired
loans outstanding at December 31, 2003 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 $ 1,187
Interest income actually recorded on impaired loans and included in net
income for the period 1,076
--------------
Interest income not recognized during the period $ 111
==============
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, 2003, in addition to the
$23,410,000 of loans reported under Item III. C. 1.
(which includes all loans classified by management as
doubtful or loss), there are approximately
$34,357,000 in other outstanding loans where known
information about possible credit problems of the
borrowers causes management to have concerns 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.

The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan losses
are 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 and its subsidiaries 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 Company and its
subsidiaries. The Company believes that the nature of the operations of its
subsidiaries has little, if any, environmental impact. The Company, therefore,
anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future. The
Company'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.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The Company is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Through its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in commercial banking,
computerized data processing, life and disability insurance and trust and
financial services.
The following discussion is intended to provide a review of the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related footnotes in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to
general practices within the banking industry. The Company's significant
accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The
Company's financial position and results of operations can be affected by these
estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported
results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management
believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are
difficult, subjective, or complex.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for
probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Management evaluates
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter based on changes, if
any, in underwriting activities, loan portfolio composition (including product
mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in
loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management
estimates. Many factors can affect management's estimates of specific and
expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating
migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance
is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net
charge-offs.
The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial
loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of
the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance
recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix,
risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences,
and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous
category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired
loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the collateral for certain
collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan's
effective interest rate.
Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance,
portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected
losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors
including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer's
financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the
subjective nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the
interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific
conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger
non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish
allowances for homogenous groups of loans are also factors. The Company
estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these
exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company's evaluation of imprecise
risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the
estimated impact of the current economic environment.
27.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES - The Company records all assets and liabilities
acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at
fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual
tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods, and are subject to
impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize
the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and
subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments
concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future.
Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among
others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry
conditions and changes in competition.
IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS
150 establishes standards for classification and measurement in the statement of
financial position of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability. The FASB's Staff Position
150-3 deferred indefinitely the guidance in SFAS No. 150 on certain mandatorily
redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company has determined that it has no
such instruments covered by the SFAS No. 150 and Staff Position 150-3.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement clarifies
reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. The Company
has determined that all derivatives or hybrid instruments covered under this
statement have been properly reported under SFAS No. 149.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 provides guidance with
respect to variable interest entities and when the assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interest and results of operations of a variable interest entity
need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A variable
interest entity exists when either the total equity investment at risk is not
sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities by itself, or the
equity investors lack one of three characteristics associated with owning a
controlling financial interest. Those characteristics are the direct or indirect
ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting rights or
similar rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity if
they occur and the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity
if they occur.
In December 2003, the FASB deferred certain effective dates for FIN 46. For all
variable interest entities other than special purpose entities, the revised
Interpretation is effective for periods ending after Mach 15, 2004. For variable
interest entities meeting the definition of special purpose entities under
earlier accounting rules, the Interpretation remains effective for periods
ending December 31, 2003. The Company has determined that its variable interest
entity under FIN 46 is not material for disclosure.
In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others was issued. FIN 45 requires the disclosures to be made by
a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligation under certain
guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to
recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The most significant FIN 45
instruments of the Company are standby letters of credit. The Company has
determined that its standby letters of credit obligations under FIN 45 are not
material for disclosure.
28.
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income for the year was $12.3 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, compared
with a net loss of $13.4 million or $2.95 per diluted share and net income of
$2.3 million or $.50 per diluted share, reported for 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Cash dividends per share were $.26 in 2002 and $.47 in 2001. No
cash dividends were paid in 2003. Per share data has been adjusted to reflect
the 5% stock dividends paid in September 2001.
Net income in 2003 was primarily a result of the gains associated with the sale
of selected branches undertaken in order to replenish capital levels and to
restructure and rebuild the Company. The loss in 2002 was directly attributable
to the discovery of underwriting deficiencies in the loan portfolio resulting in
a loan loss provision of $27.5 million. The discovery process which began during
late 2001 and initially led to a fourth quarter 2001 loan loss provision of $5.6
million, broadened during 2002 and culminated at year-end 2002 with the
finalization of extensive loan reviews, both internally and externally. As
relevant data became available on each borrower, judgments concerning collateral
values and probable loss estimates were continually updated and reserve levels
appropriately adjusted. At each quarter end, the Company applied judgment to the
best information then available to determine the appropriate level of the
allowance for loan losses and the resulting loan loss provision required to
bring the allowance to the appropriate level. These issues are discussed further
in the sections on Loan Loss Provision, Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan
Losses.
29.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF 2002 AND 2003
In addition to the discussion which follows of the results of operations which
affected the income statement and balance sheet, several other significant
events occurred during 2002 and 2003.
On February 2, 2002, the Company acquired certain loans and insured deposits of
the failed Oakwood Deposit Bank from the FDIC. The operations of the two Oakwood
branches made a positive contribution to the Company's bottom line.
On May 22, 2002, the Company announced that its technology group, RDSI Banking
Systems Inc. (RDSI), had acquired the principal assets of BancServ, Inc., a data
services company jointly owned by National Bank of Oak Harbor and Genoa Bank.
BancServ provided data processing, item processing and imaging to these two
independent banks located in North Central Ohio. These services are now being
provided by RDSI.
On July 25, 2002, the Company announced that RDSI had acquired the principal
assets of Northwest Financial Services, Inc. (Northwest). Northwest provided
item processing and imaging services for eight RDSI client banks. This
acquisition provided item processing and imaging critical mass allowing RDSI to
provide cost effective additional services to its existing client base.
On December 30, 2002, an agreement was signed to sell the branches, loans and
deposits of the Citizens Savings Bank division of RFCBC at a price SUBSTANTIALLY
in excess of their book value. The transaction was closed in March 2003.
On February 12, 2003, the Company notified the trustee of its Trust Preferred
Securities of its election to defer the semi-annual interest payment, which
would have been due on March 7, 2003. During any interest deferral period, the
Trust Preferred Indenture prohibits the payment of a common stock dividend.
On February 22, 2003, an agreement was signed to sell the branches, deposits and
certain performing loans of the Peoples Banking Company and First Bank of Ottawa
divisions of RFCBC at a price SUBSTANTIALLY in excess of their book value. The
transaction closed in June 2003.
On March 28, 2003, the Citizens Savings Banks, a division of RFC Banking
Company, was sold. As of March 28, Citizens had total loans of $57.2 million,
total fixed assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $869,000 and total
deposits of $70.8 million. A pre-tax gain of approximately $8.0 million was
recorded in March from the sale.
On June 6, 2003, the Peoples Banking Company and First Bank of Ottawa, divisions
of RFC Banking Company, were sold. As of June 6, these branches had total loans
of $76.6 million, total fixed assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $1.4
million and total deposits of $166.2 million. A pre-tax gain of approximately
$12.0 million was recorded in June from the sale.
In June 2003, RFCBC obtained two loans in the amount of $13.4 million to fund
its loan servicing and work out operations. As of December 31, 2003, the loan
balances were $9.6 million. RFCBC also has a line of credit for $2.0 million
with a balance of $0 as of December 31, 2003. The Company's note with The
Northern Trust Company of $5.5 million was paid off with a portion of these
proceeds.
On July 9, 2003, the Company notified the trustee of its Trust Preferred
Securities of its election to defer the semi-annual interest payment, which
would have been due on September 7, 2003. During any interest deferral period,
the Trust Preferred Indenture prohibits the payment of a common stock dividend.
In September 2003, the banking charter of RFCBC, which was primarily engaged in
providing a full range of banking and financial services, was relinquished.
RFCBC now operates as a loan subsidiary that continues to administer classified
loans that were not included in the sale of the branches in 2003.
30.
On January 28, 2004, the Company notified the trustee of its Trust Preferred
Securities of its election to defer the semi-annual interest payment, which
would have been due on March 7, 2004. During any interest deferral period, the
Trust Preferred Indenture prohibits the payment of a common stock dividend.

(dollars in thousands)
Net Interest Income $ 13,802 $ 23,778 -42% $ 23,778 $ 25,741 -8%
NET INTEREST INCOME declined $10.0 million from 2002 to $13.8 million in 2003.
The net interest margin for 2003 was 2.72% compared to 3.17% for the previous
year. The 45 basis point decline in the net interest margin was largely due to a
101 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets from 6.47% to 5.46%
which was partially offset by a 56 basis point decrease in the Company's
effective cost of funds. The major reasons for the reduction in net interest
income were a reduced level of earning assets due to the sale of the RFCBC
branches combined with declines in average loan balances due to the Company's
intent to exit from out of market loans and interest income foregone on
non-performing loans. Contributing to the decline in the yield on average
earning assets was the higher liquidity level necessary to fund the cash
transferred in the branch sales.
NET INTEREST INCOME declined $2.0 million from 2001 to $23.8 million in 2002.
The net interest margin for 2002 was 3.17% compared to 3.81% for the previous
year. The 64 basis point decline in the net interest margin was largely due to a
187 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets from 8.34% to 6.47%
which was not fully offset by a 117 basis point decrease in the Company's cost
of funds. The major reasons for the reductions in net interest income and in the
yield on earning assets were the
31.
continued decline in market interest rates and the loss of interest income on
non-performing loans of approximately $1.1 million.
LOAN LOSS PROVISION
THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $1.2 million in 2003 compared to $27.5 million
in 2002. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2003 was 3.58% of loans
compared to 3.21% at December 31, 2002. The decrease in the provision was the
result of the continued review and determination of the level of reserves
necessary to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Non-performing loans
decreased to $18.4 million at December 31, 2003 versus $18.7 million at December
31, 2002.
THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $27.5 million in 2002 compared to $8.7 million
in 2001. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 was 3.21% of loans
compared to 1.54% at December 31, 2001. The increase in the provision resulted
primarily from an intensified review of the underwriting criteria and the risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio which culminated in net chargeoffs of
$20.5 million of loans in 2002 and from nonperforming loans increasing to $18.7
million at December 31, 2002 versus $14.7 million at December 31, 2001.

TOTAL NONINTEREST INCOME increased $20.9 million to $34.7 million in 2003 from
$13.8 million in 2002. The increase is primarily the result of recording
approximately $20.0 million in net pre-tax gains from the branch sales. The
increase was also due to the sale of the Company's investment in WorldCom bonds
in the second quarter of 2002, which resulted in a $1.7 million pre-tax loss.
Data service fees increased $1.2 million or 15% to $9.0 million in 2003 compared
to $7.8 million in 2002 and trust fees increased $134,000 or 5% to $2.6 million
in 2003 compared to $2.5 million in 2002.
TOTAL NONINTEREST INCOME decreased $383,000 to $13.8 million in 2002 from $14.2
million in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.7 million loss on the
sale of the Company's investment in WorldCom bonds. This decrease was offset by
data service fees which increased $1.7 million or 28% to $7.8 million in 2002
compared to $6.1 million in 2001.

million in 2002 and $1.7 million or 28% from 2001 to 2002. The increases in 2003
and 2002 were mainly driven by RDSI's entry into the item processing market,
additions of new bank clients and the result of customer account growth at
client banks. The revenue gains in 2003 were partially offset by revenue lost
due to the sale of banking assets of RFC Banking Company which was serviced by
RDSI.
RDSI PROVIDES data processing services for 55 community banks in Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Missouri. RDSI differentiates itself from its competition through
the quality of its products and the excellence of its customer service. The
applications utilized by RDSI are driven by world-class software used by over
3,600 banks nationwide. Customer service encompasses on-time delivery every
morning and a discipline of responding to and resolving customer questions and
issues within one hour in excess of 95% of the time. RDSI provides turnkey
solutions for its clients through its partnerships with vendors experienced in a
full array of banking products.
RDSI'S GROWTH comes from both new and existing clients. In the past five years,
the number of bank clients has increased by 50%. Equally important is the
organic growth of existing client banks, both in their number of customer
accounts and in the breadth of services provided. Network services, internet
banking, imaging, and other technical services are a rapidly growing part of
RDSI's revenue. RDSI's revenue grew 15% in 2003 even though a significant piece
of their business was lost due to the sale of the banking assets of RFC Banking
Company.
RELIANCE FINANCIAL SERVICES, N.A. ("RELIANCE")
TRUST FEES increased $134,000 or 5% to $2.6 million from $2.5 million in 2002.
The primary reason for this increase was the upward trend in the markets from
2002 levels. Reliance has also grown through the development of new products
such as the "Tactical Asset Allocation Portfolio" and by providing back office
support to other trust companies.

employee benefits decreased $2.3 million due to the disposition of the branches
and staff reductions at most subsidiaries.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE for the year 2002 was $30.5 million, up $2.5 million or 9%
from $28.0 million in 2001. Professional fees increased $1.4 million due to
increased consulting, legal and auditing fees associated with the evaluation and
management of the Company's problem loans. The non-interest expenses of the
acquired Oakwood branches and the data processing acquisitions were $1.2
million. Excluding the professional fees associated with problem loans and
acquired entity expenses, non-interest expense declined $132,000.

branch sales, the Company's effort to exit from out-of-market loans, shrinking
loan demand and $12 million of gross charged off loans. The increase in loans
held for sale in 2002 was due to a December 30, 2002 agreement to sell the
Citizens Savings Bank division of RFCBC. This transaction closed on March 28,
2003.
In 2002, loans decreased $113 million or 19% to $488 million due to an increase
in loans held for sale of $63 million, reduced new loan demand and $22 million
of gross charged off loans. The increase in loans held for sale was due to a
December 30, 2002 agreement to sell the Citizens Savings Bank division of RFCBC.

ASSET QUALITY statistics reflect a decrease in both nonperforming assets and

2001. Non-performing assets at December 31, 2003 were $19.9 million or 4.57% of
total assets, versus $20.8 million or 2.80% at December 31, 2002 and $15.0
million or 2.00% at year-end 2001. Annual net chargeoffs for 2003 were $8.7
million or 3.06% of total loans compared to $20.5 million or 4.20% for 2002
resulting in the allowance to non-performing loans to decrease to 55% at
December 31, 2003 compared to 95% at December 31, 2002. The ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 55% at December 31, 2003
compared to 95% at December 31, 2002.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company grades its loans using an eight grade system. Problem loans are
classified as either:
- Grade 5 - Special Mention: Potential weaknesses that deserve
management's close attention
- Grade 6 - Substandard: Inadequately protected, with
well-defined weakness that jeopardize
liquidation of debt
- Grade 7 - Doubtful: Inherent weaknesses well-defined and high
probability of loss (impaired)
- Grade 8 - Loss: Considered uncollectible. May have recovery or
salvage value with future collection
efforts (these loans are either fully
reserved or charged off)
The Company's ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES has four components. Those components
are shown in the following table. Commercial, commercial real estate and
agricultural loans of over $100,000 are individually reviewed and assessed
regarding the need for an individual allocation.

* The Company changed its methodology during 2003. Special Mention loans are now
allocated at 3%. The December 31, 2002 table has been updated to reflect the new
methodology.
In 2003, the amount of loans classified as doubtful increased $4.8 to $19.7
million and substandard loans decreased $24.3 to $33.4 million. Allowance
allocations on doubtful loans increased $0.6 million while allowance allocations
on substandard loans decreased $4.1 million. Non-performing loan balances
remained relatively the same compared to the prior year but the allowance for
loan losses decreased significantly due to total loans decreasing $266.7 million
and the total of doubtful, substandard and special mention loans declining $59.6
million. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2003 was $10.2 million or
3.58% of loans compared to $17.7 million or 3.21% at December 31, 2002.
While the amount of doubtful loans and the related allowance allocation
increased during 2003, the pace of increase has slowed dramatically. These
doubtful loans are either written down to a conservative estimated collateral
value or reserved to reflect that collateral value. Management believes that
these problem loan statistics have peaked and that workout efforts will begin to
reduce these balances in 2004. The amount of substandard loans has declined by
42% from $57.7 million to $33.4 million reflective of the results of the
Company's workout efforts and the amount of special mention loans has
dramatically declined from $61.1 million to $21.0 million.
Management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses includes judgments
related to the following factors:
- - Borrower financial information received;
- - Physical inspections of collateral securing loans performed, new
appraisals of collateral securing loans received, and other information
regarding borrower collateral levels; and
- - Consideration of exposures to industries potentially most affected by
current risks in the economic and political environment.
- - See Critical Accounting Policies, starting on page 27.
The results of the Company's extensive, ongoing loan review and workout process
suggest that the volume of potential problem loans, nonperforming loans and
charge-offs were attributable to actions prior to mid-2002 such as entering
higher risk lines of business, ineffective oversight and a few lenders
neglecting basic lending fundamentals required by the Company's lending policies
and procedures.
36.
In regard to the effort to reduce the volume of substandard and doubtful
(classified loans), the following actions were taken during the past year:
- Development of a loan subsidiary to manage the classified
loans of RFCBC to-focus efforts on the workout of that group
of loans
- All classified loans are now assigned to loan workout
specialists unless there is a strong reason for an alternative
assignment.
These actions were intended to assure that the loan workout effort can be
concluded within a one and one-half to three year period and that every effort
can be made to minimize losses and maximize associated recoveries.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY at December 31, 2003 was $48.4 million or 8.81% of average
total assets compared to $36.3 million or 4.57% of average total asset at
December 31, 2002. The Company and State Bank each exceeded the
"well-capitalized" regulatory capital benchmarks at December 31, 2003.
TOTAL CONSOLIDATED REGULATORY (RISK-BASED) CAPITAL was $59.2 million at December
31, 2003 and $49.4 million at December 31, 2002. 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 limitations.
PLANNED PURCHASES OF PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
MANAGEMENT PLANS TO PURCHASE additional premises and equipment to meet the
current and future needs of the Company'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 $3.4 million over the next year.
WRITTEN AGREEMENT
On July 5, 2002, the Company and State Bank entered into a Written Agreement
("Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Ohio Division
of Financial Institutions. The Agreement was the result of an examination of
State Bank as of December 31, 2001, which was conducted in March and April 2002.
A copy of the Agreement was attached as Exhibit 99(b) to the Form 8-K filed by
the Company on July 11, 2002 and is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99(b)
to this Form 10-K.
As of December 2003, Management believes that the Company and State Bank were in
full compliance with the terms of the Agreement. However, the Agreement will
continue in place until the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Ohio
Division of Financial Institutions determine that the Agreement may be
terminated. The Company believes that additional improvement in problem loans,
earnings and operations, as well as other items described in the Agreement, is
necessary before the Agreement may be terminated, and management cannot predict
when that may occur.
Under the terms of the Agreement, State Bank and RFCBC are prohibited from
paying dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval. The Agreement
also prohibits the Company from paying trust preferred "dividends" and common
stock dividends without prior regulatory approval.
37.
LIQUIDITY
LIQUIDITY RELATES PRIMARILY to the Company'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, federal
funds sold, 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 $132.4 million at December 31,
2003 compared to $230.0 million at December 31, 2002. The Company views this
level of liquidity as appropriate.
THE COMPANY'S RESIDENTIAL FIRST MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO of $46.7 million at December
31, 2003 and $84.4 million at December 31, 2002, which can and has been readily
used to collateralize borrowings, is an additional source of liquidity.
Management believes the Company's current liquidity level, without these
borrowings, is sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. At December 31, 2003, all
eligible mortgage loans were pledged under an FHLB blanket lien.
THE CASH FLOW STATEMENTS for the periods presented provide an indication of the
Company's sources and uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability of
the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash
flow statements for 2003, 2002 and 2001 follows.
THE COMPANY EXPERIENCED positive cash flows from operating activities in 2003,
2002 and 2001. Net cash from operating activities was $5.7 million, $15.3
million and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.
NET CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES was $60.3 million, $94.0 million and
$(47.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The changes in net cash from investing activities for 2003 include
a reduction in loan growth and cash payments for the net liabilities from the
branch sales. The changes in net cash from investing activities for 2002 include
a reduction in loan growth and cash received for the net liabilities from the
Oakwood acquisition. In 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company received $17.6 million,
$81.9 million and $19.1 million, respectively, from sales of securities
available for sale, while proceeds from repayments, maturities and calls of
securities were $121.6 million, $53.9 million and $38.1 million in 2003, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
NET CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES was $(92.8) million, $(83.6) million,
and $46.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The net cash decrease was primarily due to a reduction in total
deposits of $(87.8) million in 2003 and $(66.6) million in 2002. Other
significant changes in 2003, 2002 and 2001 included $(8.8) million, $(6.4)
million and $2.1 million in net borrowings from the FHLB.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS:
Significant additional off-balance-sheet liquidity is available in the form of
FHLB advances, unused federal funds lines from correspondent banks, and the
national certificate of deposit market. While such additional off-balance-sheet
liquidity is available, the Written Agreement between the Company, State Bank,
the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Ohio Division of Financial
Institutions requires the Company and State Bank to obtain written approval from
the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Ohio Division of Financial
Institutions prior to directly or indirectly incurring any debt with the
exception of federal funds and FHLB borrowings at State Bank.
Approximately $37.3 million residential first mortgage loans of the Company's
$46.7 million portfolio qualify to collateralize FHLB borrowings and have been
pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements as of December 31, 2003. In
addition to residential first mortgage loans, $26.1 million in investment
securities are pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements. Based on the
current collateralization requirements of the FHLB, approximately $5.5 million
of additional borrowing capacity existed at December 31, 2003.
38.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had no unused federal funds lines. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company had unused federal funds lines totaling
approximately $26.0 million from 2 correspondent banks. Federal funds borrowed
were $0 at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
Approximately $9.7 million performing commercial loans are pledged to the
Federal Reserve Discount Window to establish additional borrowing capacity of
$6.7 million. Such loans are pledged for contingency funding purposes and to
date this borrowing capacity has not been used.

The other long-term liabilities is comprised of time deposits of $174,668,570.
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 Company and the composition of its balance sheet
consist 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 specific loans which are originated and held for sale, all of
the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading purposes.
All of the Company's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no
specific foreign exchange exposure. In addition, the Company 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 Company's financial instruments have varying
levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market
risk. Interest rate risk is the Company's primary market risk exposure; to a
lesser extent, liquidity risk also impacts market risk exposure.
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 shareholder value;
39.
however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat
to the Company's earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk
management that maintains interest rate risks at prudent levels is essential to
the Company'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 Company 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 Company 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 Company, 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.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS an institution can manage interest rate risk including:
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 Company 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 Company's financial instruments used for purposes other than trading
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2003. 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 historical 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,
applicable related weighted-average interest rates based upon the Company'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
40.
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 Company'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. 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 Company's increased reliance on non-core funding sources has
restricted the Company'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 3.80% in 2001 and
3.17% in 2002 to 2.72% in 2003.
THE COMPANY 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, 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.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
THE MAJORITY OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES of the Company are monetary in nature and
therefore the Company 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
Company'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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
WHEN USED IN THIS FILING and in future filings by the Company with the SEC, in

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Rurban Financial Corp.
Defiance, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rurban Financial
Corp. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial
statements of Rurban Financial Corp. as of and for the year ended December 31,
2001, were audited by other auditors whose opinion dated April 8, 2002 was
unqualified.
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 described above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rurban
Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Rurban Financial Corp. ("Company") is a bank holding company whose
principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, 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"). State Bank owns all of the outstanding stock of
Reliance Financial Services, N.A. ("RFS") and Rurban Mortgage Company
("RMC"). State Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of
banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers
in northern Ohio. State Bank is subject to competition from other
financial institutions. State Bank is subject to the regulation of
certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations
by those regulatory authorities. RFCBC was primarily engaged in
providing a full range of banking and financial services until the
completion of the branch sales in June 2003. RFCBC formally
relinquished its banking powers in September 2003. RFCBC now operates
as a loan subsidiary that continues to administer classified loans
that were not included in the sale of branches in 2003. RDSI provides
data processing services to financial institutions located in Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, and Missouri. Rurban Life provides 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 Company's trust preferred
securities.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, State Bank, RFCBC, RDSI, Rurban Life, RST, RFS and RMC. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant
change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses
(and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans). In connection with the
determination of the allowance for loan losses (and the valuation of
foreclosed assets held for sale), management obtains independent
appraisals for significant properties.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents except for short-term
U.S. Treasury securities which are classified as available-for-sale
securities.

RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which
the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the
future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are
recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive
income.
Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for which the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity,
are carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as
interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are
recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined on the specific-identification method.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the
aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income.
LOANS
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their
outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the
allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated
loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes
amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term.
Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status not later than 91
days past due and interest is considered a loss, unless the loan is
well-secured and in the process of collection.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated
to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to
income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management
believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is probable.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by
management and is based upon management's periodic review of the
collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any
underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes
available.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by
management in determining impairment include payment status,
collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal
and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as
impaired. Management determines the
(Continued)
F-10.
RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration each of the
circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the
length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior
payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan
basis for commercial, agricultural, and construction loans by either
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively
evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately
identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment
measurements.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method for
buildings and the declining balance method for equipment over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
FEDERAL RESERVE AND FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK
Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock are required
investments for institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve
and Federal Home Loan Bank systems. The required investment in the
common stock is based on a predetermined formula.
FORECLOSED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for
sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are
carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell. Revenue and expenses from operations related to foreclosed
assets and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net
income or expense from foreclosed assets.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If the implied fair value
of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is
indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value.
Subsequent increases in goodwill value, if any, are not recognized in
the financial statements.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis over
weighted-average periods ranging from one to seven years. Such assets
are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying
value.
(Continued)

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are
capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between
the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative
fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion
to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of
mortgage-servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those
rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on
a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment,
the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant
characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The
amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized
mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value.
TREASURY STOCK
Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out method.
STOCK OPTIONS
At December 31, 2003, the Company has a stock-based employee
compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 19. The
Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement
principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted
under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the
Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No.

INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects
of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax
asset will not be realized. The Company files consolidated income tax
returns with its subsidiaries.
EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average
common shares outstanding during each year. Unearned ESOP shares which
have not vested have been excluded from the computation of average
shares outstanding.
Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock dividends.
NOTE 2: RESTRICTION ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Banks are required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure
public deposits and for other purposes, was $71,606,721 at December
31, 2003, and $91,330,997 at December 31, 2002.
Gross gains of $42,051, $1,117,251 and $666,458 and gross losses of
$18,419, $1,950,766 and $176,817 resulting from sales of
available-for-sale securities were realized for 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The tax expense for net security gains (losses) for
2003, 2002 and 2001 was $8,000, $(283,000), and $166,000,
respectively.
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial
statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair
value of these investments at December 31, 2003, was $38,728,336,
which is approximately 36% of the Company's available-for-sale
investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from recent
increases in market interest rates and failure of certain investments
to maintain consistent credit quality ratings.
Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in
market interest rates, credit rating information and information
obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in
fair value for these securities are temporary.
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than
temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the
resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the
other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

NOTE 14: TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
On September 7, 2000, Rurban Statutory Trust 1 ("RST"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, 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 Company 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 Company and payments thereunder. The junior
subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate,
constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company 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, 2003 and 2002, the outstanding
principal balance of the Capital Securities was $10,000,000.
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 Company 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 Company; 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 Company 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.
The Company elected to defer the semi-annual distributions which would
have been due on March 7, 2003, September 7, 2003, and March 7, 2004.

NOTE 17: REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking
agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Company's financial
(Continued)

RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary
bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary bank to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and
Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets
(as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2003, that the
Company and the subsidiary bank meet all capital adequacy requirements
to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification to the
regulators categorized the State Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized
as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain capital ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
category.
The Company and significant subsidiary bank's actual capital amounts
(in millions) and ratios are also presented in the following table.
During 2003, RFCBC's banking powers were relinquished.

into a Written Agreement (Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions on July 5,
2002. The Agreement was the result of an examination of State Bank as
of December 31, 2001, which was conducted in March and April 2002.
As of December 2003, Management believes Rurban and State Bank were in
full compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement will
continue in place until removed by the Regulators and Management makes
no projection of that occurrence.
State Bank and RFCBC are prohibited from paying dividends to Rurban
without prior regulatory approval. Rurban is prohibited from paying
Trust Preferred "dividends" and common stock dividends without prior
regulatory approval.

NOTE 18: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of
the Company, including associates of such persons, are loan customers.
A summary of the related party loan activity, for loans aggregating
$60,000 or more to any one related party, follows for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002:

In management's opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and
deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on
substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral)
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other
persons. Further, in management's opinion, these loans did not involve
more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features.
Deposits from related parties held by the Bank(s) at December 31, 2003
and 2002 totaled $1,185,000 and $3,213,000, respectively.
NOTE 19: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company has retirement savings 401(k) plans covering substantially
all employees. Employees may contribute up to 6% of their compensation
with the Company matching 50% of the employee's contribution. Employee
contributions are vested immediately and the Company's matching
contributions are fully vested after three years. Employer
contributions charged to expense for 2003, 2002 and 2001 were
$258,000, $285,000 and $297,000, respectively.
Also, the Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain
active and retired officers. The agreements provide monthly payments
for up to 15 years that equal 15% of average compensation prior to
retirement or death. The charge to expense for the current agreements
was $145,000, $164,000 and $192,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001
respectively. In 2003 and 2002, previously accrued benefits under the
agreements in the amount of $33,000 and $489,000, respectively, were
reversed and credited to expense as a result of termination of certain
officers. Such charges reflect the straight-line accrual over the
period until full eligibility of the present value of benefits due
each participant on the full eligibility date, using a 6% discount
factor.

RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Life insurance plans are provided for certain executive officers on a
split-dollar basis. The Company 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 Company is entitled to the portion of
the death proceeds which equates to the cash surrender value less any
loans on the policy and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously
incurred by the Company. 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 Company's supplemental
retirement plan totaled approximately $2,826,745 less policy loans of
$1,014,523 at December 31, 2003 and $2,731,911 less policy loans of
$1,014,523 at December 31, 2002, and is included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has a noncontributory employee stock ownership plan
("ESOP") covering substantially all employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. Voluntary contributions are made by the Company to the
plan. Each eligible employee is vested based upon years of service,
including prior years of service. The Company's contributions to the
account of each employee become fully vested after three years of
service.
During 1986, the ESOP acquired 103,368 shares of the Company common
stock at a weighted-average cost of $14.57 per share with funds
provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, the $1,505,527 of
common stock acquired by the ESOP was shown as a reduction of
stockholders' equity. Shares are released to participants
proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares
are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends
on unallocated shares are used to repay the loan or distributed to
participants and are treated as compensation expense. Compensation
expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when
contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors
of the Company, are made to the ESOP.
ESOP expense for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was
$440,000, $503,000 and $886,000.

NOTE 22: BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On February 2, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of the Oakwood Deposit Bank Company of Oakwood,
Ohio ("Oakwood") from the FDIC following the Ohio Superintendent of
Financial Institutions placing Oakwood in receivership and appointing
the FDIC as receiver for a net premium of approximately $2.0 million.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have an opportunity to
increase its deposit base and reduce transaction costs. The Company
also expects to reduce costs through economies of scale.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
Securities available for sale $ 18,271,342
Loans 29,625,297

============
The difference between the book value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed from the FDIC was paid to the Company in cash,
which was used to fund withdrawals of insured deposits from non-local
depositors.
The only significant intangible assets acquired were the core deposit
base and customer relationships, which has a useful life of
approximately seven years and will be amortized using the accelerated
method. The $2,144,304 of goodwill was assigned entirely to the banking
segment of the business and is expected to be deductible for tax
purposes.
The proforma disclosures to depict the results of operations as though
the merger had taken place at the beginning of each period are not
presented as records are not available from the FDIC for prior periods.

NOTE 23: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company's
financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments
were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves
significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is
the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain
of these financial instruments and because management does not intend
to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether
the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective
financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the

estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing
deposits, FRB and FHLB stock, cash surrender value of life insurance,
accrued interest receivable, demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW
accounts, certain money market deposits, short-term borrowings,
interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance is
considered to approximate cost. The estimated fair value for securities
is based on quoted market values for the individual securities or for
equivalent securities. The estimated fair value for loans receivable,
including loans held for sale, net, is based on estimates of the rate
the Bank would charge for similar loans at December 31, 2003 and 2002
applied for the time period until the loans are assumed to reprice or
be paid. The estimated fair value for fixed-maturity time deposits as
well as borrowings is based on estimates of the rate the Bank would pay
on such liabilities at December 31, 2003 and 2002, applied for the time
period until maturity. The fair value of commitments is estimated using
the fees currently charged to enter into similar

RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The estimated
fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan
commitments approximate cost at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and are not
considered significant to this presentation.
NOTE 24: COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
The Bank grants commercial, agribusiness, consumer and residential
loans to customers throughout the state. Although the Bank has a
diversified loan portfolio, agricultural loans comprised approximately
13% and 11% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion
of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real
estate and residential real estate.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar
transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there
is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of
credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the
line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's
creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's
credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment,
commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the
same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.

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 Company'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
Company, before the executive officer's normal retirement date, which
could result in cash payments in excess of amounts accrued.

NOTE 26: 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. 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
Company'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 for performance assessment
follows.

Noninterest income increased during the first and second quarters of

loan losses were recorded due to identification of increased levels of
impaired loans and loan charge-offs.
During the second quarter of 2002, a loss was recorded to write down
the value of the Company's investment in WorldCom bonds which reduced
noninterest income by $1.7 million.
Noninterest expense increased during the second quarter of 2002 and
succeeding quarters as a result of the expenses of acquisitions.
