ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On August 14, 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued and
outstanding stock of County Savings Bank ("County") pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement with First Financial Group, Inc. ("FFG") dated March 27, 1996. The
aggregate purchase price of approximately $47.8 million, was paid in cash. The
purchase price included an aggregate of $3.0 million paid to certain
shareholders of FFG pursuant to non-competition agreements entered into with the
Company. The Company funded the acquisition from (i) the net proceeds of
approximately $25.9 million from its recent sale of 1,000,000 shares of its
common stock, (ii) proceeds from a $15,000,000 loan from LaSalle National Bank
(the "Loan"), and (iii) approximately $6.7 million from the Company's existing
cash. The Loan is in the form of a seven-year term loan, expiring September 1,
2003, with annual interest payable at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.35%.
The Company is required to make quarterly interest payments beginning 90 days
from the date of funding of the Loan, and will be required to make annual
principal payments beginning 18 months from funding, based upon a 10-year
amortization.

         The terms of the sale, including the purchase price and form of
consideration was the result of arms'-length negotiations between the parties.
Prior to this transaction, there has been no material relationship between
County and the Company, its affiliates, any officer or director of the Company
or any of their affiliates.

         In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired all of the
equipment and other physical property of County, consisting of equipment and
physical property used in County's banking business. The Company intends to
continue to use the assets acquired in this transaction in the manner utilized
by County prior to the acquisition.

                              BANCFIRST OHIO CORP.
 
             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company include the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company
and County and give effect to the transactions and events described in the Notes
to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements as if the transactions and
events referred to therein were initiated at the beginning of 1995 in the case
of the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income and as of June 30,
1996, in the case of the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements give effect to
the following transactions and events: (i) the sale and issuance of 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock in the Offering, (ii) borrowings of $15.0 million under
the Loan, and (iii) the aggregate amount of cash to be paid to FFG and its
shareholders as a result of the Acquisition. The Acquisition will be accounted
for as a purchase and County's assets and liabilities will be restated at their
fair values and identifiable intangible assets will be recorded. The excess of
the purchase price over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be
recorded as goodwill. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
do not give effect to any revenue enhancements or operating efficiencies that
management believes may result from the Acquisition.
 
     Management believes the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis on
which to present the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements. This
information should be read in conjunction with the historical Consolidated
Financial Statements and notes thereto of both the Company and County included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
are not necessarily indicative of the Company's results of operations or
financial position had the transactions above been consummated on the dates
assumed and do not project the Company's results of operations or the Company's
financial position for any future date or period.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The following pro forma adjustments are based on available information and
certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, it is likely that the actual
adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments. The Company believes
that such assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the
significant effects of the following transactions and that the pro forma
adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly
applied in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
 
ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
 
     (1) Represents long-term borrowings of $15,000 under a loan agreement to be
entered into with LaSalle National Bank to fund a portion of the proposed
Acquisition.
 
     (2) Represents the issuance and sale of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in
the Offering, at an offering price of $28.00.
 
     (3) Represents the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments as
follows:
 


                                                                        DEBIT      CREDIT

     Deferred taxes have been provided on the difference between the tax basis
and the new book basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the
statutory federal rate of 34% and recorded as other liabilities.
 
     (4) Represents the proposed Acquisition for a purchase price of $44,775,
subject to adjustment by the amount by which County's shareholder's equity is
greater than or less than $35,000 at the date of closing. The pro forma
consolidated balance sheet reflects an upward adjustment of $108 to the
purchase price based upon County's shareholder's equity at June 30, 1996.
Approximately $400 of direct acquisition costs to be paid in cash are
capitalized. The proposed Acquisition will be funded by the net proceeds from
the Offering, $15,000 of long-term borrowings and utilization of approximately
$7,403 of existing Company assets.
