PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Security Banc Corp. (Registrant or Company) was organized in 1985 under the
laws of The State of Ohio. The Executive Office of the registrant is
located in Springfield, Ohio. It is a Bank Holding Company as defined in
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered as such
with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Registrant has
three subsidiaries, The Security National Bank and Trust Co. (Security),
Citizens National Bank (Citizens), and Third Savings and Loan Company,
(Third).
The Security National Bank and Trust Co. was organized under the statutes
of The United States as the result of an agreement to merge The Guardian
Bank of Springfield, Ohio, with and into The New Carlisle National Bank
under the title of The Security National Bank. The agreement to merge was
finalized and given approval by the Office of The Comptroller of the
Currency on October 1, 1969. The Bank was granted the authority to act as a
fiduciary as of May 30, 1978, thereby, changing the name of the Association
to "The Security National Bank and Trust Co." The Bank's main office is
located at 40 South Limestone Street, Springfield, Ohio.
On September 30, 1996, the Company merged with CitNat Bancorp, Inc., a $140
million bank holding company headquartered in Ohio, in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interest.
On October 21, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Third Financial Corporation for $41 million. The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.
Security and Citizens are subject to primary supervision, examination, and
regulation by The Comptroller of the Currency. Third is subject to primary
supervision, examination, and regulation by The Office of Thrift
Supervision. Security and Citizens are members of The Federal Reserve
System and are subject to the applicable provisions of The Federal Reserve
System and are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act and Regulations. Deposits of the Company are insured by The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the maximum extent permitted by
law.
Security is the parent of the Security Community Urban Redevelopment
Corporation. The subsidiary is an Ohio Corporation organized in 1975. It
was organized solely to own Security's main office building. Presently,
Security leases the Main Office building from the subsidiary. No changes
are anticipated in the subsidiary's business functions.
All of the Company's banking centers are located in Champaign, Clark,
Greene, Madison and Miami Counties in the state of Ohio.

BUSINESS--Continued
As of December 31, 1996, the Company's consolidated total assets rounded to the
nearest thousand, were $816,334,000 including total loans of $540,768,000. On
that date, total deposits were $667,035,000 and capital accounts totaled
$100,794,000.
The Company's subsidiaries provide full service banking to individuals as well
as to industry and governmental subdivisions through each of its twenty-three
banking centers.
The Company's subsidiaries have made a strong impact on all the counties it
serves through a great variety of services, including personal checking accounts
and savings programs, certificates of deposit, the Money Market accounts, C/D's
and Individual Retirement Accounts.
A broad range of credit programs for all retail customers includes mortgage
loans, credit card banking under the VISA designation, installment loans, and
secured and unsecured personal loans.
The banking services provided to commercial customers and government include
maintenance of demand and time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit.
Available are all types of commercial loans, including loans under lines of
credit and revolving credit, term loans, real estate mortgage loans and other
specialized loans including accounts receivable financing. The Subsidiaries
further serve the requirements of large and small industrial and commercial
enterprises in the Springfield metropolitan area and elsewhere by providing
financial counseling, automated payroll programs, cash management, and other
automated services.
The subsidiaries' Commercial Banking Division is organized to serve the needs of
the corporate customers by handling business and commercial mortgages, corporate
deposits and other corporate financial services.
The Consumer Banking Divisions, which encompasses the Credit Card and
Installment Loan Departments, serves individual as well as corporate customers.
The Residential Mortgage Loan Departments provides conventional as well as
adjustable rate mortgage loans to individuals. Each Subsidiary manages the
investment of funds for their institution using U. S. Government and agency
securities, municipal (tax exempt) securities, as well as Federal Funds and
certificates of deposit of U. S. banks and savings and loans. Each Subsidiary,
in consultation with others, sets the rates on their liability products
including purchased federal funds.
Complete fiduciary services are available to individuals, charitable
institutions, commercial customers and government agencies through Security's
Trust Division. The Personal Trust Department serves as investment agent and
custodian for securities portfolios of individuals, as trustees for living and
testamentary trusts and as executor and administrator of probate estates. The
Corporate Trust Department serves as Trustee for corporate and municipal bond
issues, and as registrar for securities. The Institutional Services Department
provides employee benefit plan fund management for qualified retirement plans
and investment management and securities custody services for not-for-profit
institutions.
There are over a half dozen commercial banks in Springfield, Clark County and
adjoining counties, furnishing general banking services and thus providing
strong competition to the Company. The Company competes for deposits not only
with commercial banks in its area, but also with building and loan associations
and other non-bank competitors, such as brokerage houses. In addition to the
competition described above, the Company competes in various areas of service
offered to individuals, industry and government with Banks in Southwestern Ohio,
many of which possess greater financial resources than the Company.

BUSINESS--Continued
The earnings of the Company are affected by general economic conditions as well
as, by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Such policies, which
have the effect of regulating the national supply of Bank reserves and Bank
credit, can have a major affect upon the source and cost of loanable and
investable funds and the rates of return earned on loans and investments. Among
the means available to the monetary authorities to influence the size and
distribution of Bank reserves are open market operations by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, changes in cash reserve requirements
against member bank deposits, and limitations on interest rates which member
banks may pay on most time and savings deposits.
Material Changes and Developments
- ---------------------------------
There were no material changes or developments during 1996 in the business done
by the Company.
Regulation and Supervision
- --------------------------
Security and Citizens, as national banks, are subject to regulation by the
Comptroller of the Currency, The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Third, as a savings and
loan, is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision and The
Savings Association Insurance Fund. The Company and any subsidiaries which it
may hereafter have will be affiliates of the Company within the meaning of the
Federal Reserve Act. As affiliates, the Company and any such subsidiaries are
subject to certain restrictions on loans by the subsidiaries, on investments by
the subsidiaries in their stock or securities or on its taking such stock and
securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. The Company and any such
subsidiaries, as affiliates of the Company are also subject to certain
restrictions with respect to engaging in the underwriting and public sale and
distribution of securities. Neither the Company nor any such subsidiaries may,
for example, engage in such transactions with respect to securities of the
company unless such securities are registered under the Securities Act of 1993
or any exemption from such registration is available. In addition, any such
affiliates of the Bank will be subject to examination at the discretion of
supervisory authorities.
The Company, as a Bank Holding Company, is subject to the restrictions of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 as amended. This Act first provides that the
acquisition of control of a bank is subject to the prior approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In the future, the Company will be
required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may
acquire, for its individual account all, or substantially all, of the assets of
any bank, or acquire ownership or control of any voting securities of any Bank,
if after giving effect to such acquisition, the Company would own or control
more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The Act does not permit the
Federal Reserve Board to approve the acquisition by the Company or any
subsidiary for their own account, of any voting shares of, or interest in, or
all, or substantially all, of the assets, of any bank located in a state other
than Ohio, unless such acquisition is specifically authorized by the statutes of
the state in which such bank is located.
The Bank Holding Company Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by
the Company and its subsidiaries to ownership of banks and those activities
which the Federal Reserve Board has deemed or may in the future find, by order
of regulations, to be so closely related to the banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to operations by a
provision for loan losses. Loans which are determined to be uncollectible are
charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to
the allowance. The amount charged to operations is based on several factors.
These include the following:
1. Analytical reviews of the loan loss experience in relationship
to outstanding loans to determine an adequate allowance for
loan losses required for loans at risk.
2. A continuing review of problem or at risk loans and the
overall portfolio quality.
3. Regular examinations and appraisals of the loan portfolio
conducted by the Bank's examination staff and the banking
supervisory authorities.
4. Management's judgement with respect to the current and
expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing
loan portfolio.
The amount provided for loan losses exceeded actual net charge-offs by $206,000
in 1996, $235,000 in 1995 and $737,000 in 1994.
It is management's practice to review the allowance on a quarterly basis to
determine whether additional provisions should be made after considering the
factors noted above. Based on these procedures, management is of the opinion
that the allowance at December 31, 1996 of $6,827,000 is adequate.

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of our customers.
Letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers
when specific future events occur.
Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in
extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company's normal credit
policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment) is
obtained based on Management's credit assessment of the customer.

Letter to the Shareholders
Security Banc Corporation's net income for the year 1996 was $13,387,000,
an increase of 5% over the $12,707,000 for the previous year. This year's
earnings per share increased to $2.22 from $2.11. Shareholders' equity of
$100,794,000 grew 12% and resulted in a strong capital to asset ratio of 12%.
Return on average assets and return on average equity of 1.92% and 14.18%
respectively, continue to rank well when compared to other banks. The cash
dividend of $.81 per share is an 11% increase over 1995. Total assets reached
$816,334,000 while loans and deposits ended the year at $540,768,000 and
$667,035,000 respectively.
1996 was a year of considerable expansion for Security Banc Corporation as
we put the strategic planning efforts of the past few years into action. Our
careful study and planning placed us in an excellent position to purchase
financial institutions in neighboring communities-purchases consistent with our
goals for planned growth. In keeping with our past history and vision for the
future, the acquisition of Citizens National Bank of Urbana and Third Savings
and Loan Company in Piqua, underscore our commitment to local ownership and
hometown banking. Both are solid institutions, similar in culture and philosophy
to Security Banc. Everyone affected by this change will benefit including
shareholders, customers, employees and the people who live in these communities.
This planned growth ensures shareholder value by broadening our market
area. Security Banc Corporation now extends into five counties including Clark,
Greene, Champaigne, Miami and Madison. Having a broader base expands our
diversity of investment thus increasing our opportunities for return and
decreasing our dependence on any on particular economic region. This diversity
is a sound approach to managing shareholder investment.
Customers in our service areas will continue to benefit from local
ownership. Security National Banks have always been hometown banks. Citizens
National Bank and Third Savings have also enjoyed local ownership, and still do.
Preserving this local ownership guarantees responsiveness to the community.
Decisions which affect people in the community are made by people who live
there, not by someone several cities or counties away. Local ownership also
means that product development and financial services are designed to serve
local markets, thus they are better suited to local customers.
Employees benefit by working within a strong, stable, growing institution
which is committed to them as individuals. Security Banc Corporation fosters
employee development and encourages participation in decision making. We welcome
the directors, management teams, and staff of Citizens National and Third
Savings to the Security Banc Corporation employee group. We are proud to have
them on board.
Finally, the communities we serve benefit because of our commitment to
social responsibility, a core value of our corporation. As the communities
sustain us, we must in turn help sustain our communities. Preserving local
ownership is the key to preserving this commitment. Security Banc Corporation
strongly believes in investing in the social and cultural needs of our towns and
our people. We also design our products and services to respond to our local
customers. And, we know that the return on shareholder investment increases the
overall wealth of our communities.
As we look at the 1996 performance of Security Banc Corporation and its
subsidiaries, The Security National Bank and Trust Co., The Citizens National
Bank and The Third Savings and Loan Company, it is evident that the strategic
planning and consequent decisions we are making are on the right course.
Our current challenge is to fine tune our institutions into highly
efficient and customer service driven community banks. The human resource,
automation and technology tools needed to produce highly efficient operations
have and will continue to be committed to each affiliate. Though additional
purchases are not necessary for our continued growth, we will seek opportunities
which compliment shareholder value and our strategic direction.
We were saddened by the loss of Dwight W. Hollenbeck, a director since
1939. He resigned early in 1996 and passed away July 7, 1996. His friendship,
long tenure, guidance and strong interest in this organization will be missed.
Robert A. Warren, President of Hauck Bros., Inc. was appointed to fill this
vacancy. Mr. Warren's business experience and community involvement have been a
good addition to our organization.
We are thankful for our success, and we extend this gratitude to our
shareholders for their vision and confidence in us, our management teams for
their leadership, and to our employees, especially our new members for Citizens
and Third Savings, for their commitment to service and professional growth.
Every member of the Security Banc Corporation family plays a vital role in
carrying out the mission of the corporation. We look forward to 1997 as another
year of providing outstanding service and continuing our record of outstanding
performance.

Net Interest Income
A major share of the Corporation's income results from the spread between
income on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the
interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. The difference
between interest earned and interest expensed is referred to as net interest
income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Net interest income is affected
by changes in both interest rates and the amount of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities outstanding. Net interest margin on interest
earning assets is the amount earned on assets, on a taxable equivalent basis,
divided by the average earning assets outstanding.
Table II, entitled Average Balance Sheets and Analysis of Net Interest
Income, compares the changes in revenue and interest earning assets outstanding,
and interest cost and liabilities outstanding for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995, and 1994.
The Corporation's net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was
$33,920,000, $33,280,000 and $31,671,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994 respectively.
Total average earning assets increased to $650,922,000 in 1996, compared to
$609,859,000 in 1995, and $598,915,000 in 1994. Earning assets are total loans,
total securities, interest bearing deposits with other banks and federal funds
sold. Average total loans increased $27,739,000 to $425,244,000. Average
securities, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold
increased a combined total of $13,324,000.
Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $30,843,000 to
$495,080,000 in 1996. Average time deposits increased $21,791,000. Average
purchased funds increased $5,191,000. Average NOW, Money Fund and savings
increased $2,143,000, $1,351,000 and $367,000, respectively.
Average earning assets of $650,922,000 in 1996 contributed a tax equivalent
interest income of $53,231,000 with a yield of eight point eighteen percent
(8.18%).
Average interest bearing liabilities of $495,080,000 in 1996 contributed
interest expense of $19,311,000.
Table III, entitled Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes, translates the
dollar changes in taxable equivalent net interest margin into (1) changes due to
volume or (2) changes due to average yields on interest earning assets and
average rates for sources of funds on which interest expense is incurred.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income is comprised of trust income, service charges on deposit
accounts, security gains, and other items of income not directly resulting from
interest earning assets. These items comprise safe deposit box fees, exchange
and collection fees, investor service fees, gain (loss) on the sale of loans and
miscellaneous other income.

Operating Expense
Total operating expense decreased $58,000 in 1996 to $18,021,000 compared
to $18,079,000 for 1995. Salaries and employee benefits were $9,224,000 in 1996,
compared to $9,191,000 in 1995. Equipment and occupancy expenses were
$2,354,000, up $148,000 from the previous year. Amortization of intangibles
decreased to $53,000 as compared to $71,000 for the previous year. Other
operating expense decreased three point three percent (3.3%) to $6,390,000.
Loans
Total average commercial loans increased seven point eight percent (7.8%)
to $182,300,000 in 1996 yielding an average rate of nine point zero-four percent
(9.04%). Average real estate loans increased thirteen point five percent (13.5%)
to $146,063,000, yielding an average rate of eight point thirty-three percent
(8.33%). Average consumer loans, which include home equity loans, decreased two
point eight percent (2.8%) to $96,881,000, yielding an average rate of ten point
sixty-six percent (10.66%).
28
Under-performing assets consist of (1) non-accrual loans on which the
ultimate collectibility of the full amount of interest is uncertain but the
principal is currently considered fully collectible. (2) loans past due ninety
(90) days or more as to principal or interest and (3) other real estate owned.
Under-performing assets as of December 31, 1996 were $6,160,000.
The Corporation provides, as expense, an amount which reflects expected
loan losses. This provision is based on the growth of the loan portfolio, local
economic conditions, and on recent loan loss experience and is called the
provision for loan losses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Actual losses
on loans are charged against the reserve built up on the Consolidated Statement
of Condition through the allowance for loan losses. The amount of loans actually
removed as assets from the Consolidated Statement of Condition is referred to as
charge-offs. Netting out recoveries on previously charged-off assets with
current year charge-offs provides net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs in 1996 increased to $1,669,000 from $715,000 in 1995. The
provision for loan losses was $1,875,000 in 1996 and $950,000 in 1995. The
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996 was equivalent to one point
twenty-six percent (1.26%) of loans outstanding. The following table presents
loan loss data for the most recent five (5) year period.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The Corporation's Asset/Liability Management Committee is charged with the
responsibility of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and of managing the
risks associated with interest rate changes while sustaining a stable growth in
net interest income. The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is
necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet customer loan
demand and deposit withdrawals. The asset liquidity sources consist of short
term marketable securities, federal funds sold, maturing loans and certificates
of deposit. Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between steady
net interest growth and the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.
The strategy is to minimize interest rate risk through the matching of the
repricing period of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
The Corporation has a net asset position of $111,614,000 at the one (1)
year interval or a cumulative gap ratio of one point forty-five (1.45). This
ratio indicates that in a declining interest rate environment, those assets that
are due to reprice would be replaced at a decreased interest yield at a faster
pace than maturing liabilities, having a negative impact on the net interest
margin. In an increasing rate environment, those assets that are due to reprice
would be replaced at a higher interest yield, improving the net interest margin.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Security Banc Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of
Security Banc Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Security Banc Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of Security Banc Corporation and Citnat Bancorp
(Citnat), which has been accounted for using the pooling of interests accounting
method as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. We did
not audit the 1995 and 1994 financial statements of Citnat, which statements
reflect total assets constituting 26% for 1995 and net income constituting 15%
for 1995 and 14% for 1994 of the related consolidated financial statement
totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Citnat, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 based on our audits and for 1995 and 1994 the reports of
other auditors the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Security Banc
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
1. Organization
Security Banc Corporation ("Security" or "the Company") is a bank holding
company headquartered in Springfield, Ohio. The Company's principal
subsidiaries, Security National Bank and Trust Co., Citizens National Bank, and
Third Savings and Loan Company are located in Central Ohio and are engaged in
general commercial banking and trust business.
Summary of Significant Account
Policies The accounting and reporting policies of Security conform with
generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing industry practices. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. A description of the
significant accounting policies is presented below:
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared to
give retroactive effect to the September 30, 1996 merger with CitNat (Citizens
National Bank), which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.
Investment Securities
Securities held to maturity and available for sale: Management determines
the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and
reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are
classified as held-to-maturity when Security Banc Corporation has the positive
intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity
securities are stated at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading and
marketable equity securities not classified as trading are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the
estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest income
from investments. Interest and dividends are included in interest income from
investments. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in net securities gains (losses). The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Loans
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned
income. Interest income on other loans is primarily accrued using the simple
interest method based on the principal amounts outstanding. Loan fees received
in excess of direct costs involved in origination of a loan are amortized over
the estimated loan term. Accrual of interest is discontinued when circumstances
indicate that collection of loan principal is questionable.
The company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", effective January 1,
1995. As a result of applying the new rules, certain impaired loans are reported
at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective
interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on Security Banc
Corporation's financial statements.
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses is available for loan charge-offs.
The adequacy of the allowance is based on Management's continuous evaluation of
key factors in the loan portfolio with consideration given to current economic
conditions and past charge-off experience.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation of premises and equipment is determined using the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while renewals and
betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Certain income and expense items are accounted for in different time
periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
Appropriate provisions are made in the financial statements for deferred taxes
in recognition of these temporary differences.
Net Income Per Share
Income per share is computed on the basis of weighted average shares
outstanding.
Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash requirements include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Federal funds are
purchased for one-day periods.
Interest paid by Security in 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $19,035,000,
$18,584,000 and $13,430,000, respectively.
37
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalent and interest bearing deposits with other banks:
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short term
instruments approximate those assets' fair values.
Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments. Loans receivable: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently
and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying
values. The fair values for mortgage loans are based on quoted market prices of
similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for
differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans (e.g.,
commercial, agricultural and consumer) are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued
interest approximates its fair value.
Off balance sheet instruments: The carrying amounts reported for Security
Banc Corporation's off balance sheet (letters of credit and lending commitments)
approximate those assets' fair value.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g.,
interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money
market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for
variable-rate, fixed term money market accounts approximate their fair values at
the reporting date. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and
securities sold under agreement to repurchase approximate their fair values.
2. Acquisitions
Third Financial Corporation
On October 21, 1996, the company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Third Financial Corporation for $41 million. The acquisition was funded with
existing cash. The results of Third Financial Corporation's operations have been
combined with those of the Company since the date of acquisition.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of tangible assets
acquired and liabilities/equity assumed was $162 million and $150 million
respectively. The balance of the purchase price, $12 million, was recorded as
excess of cost over net assets acquired (goodwill) and other identified
intangibles and is being amortized over approximately twenty-five years on a
straight line basis.
The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations of the Company and Third Financial Corporation on the basis that the
acquisition had taken place and was recorded at the beginning of the fiscal year
for each of the periods presented:

Weighted Shares Outstanding .............. 6,028,847 6,012,836
In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations are not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had
the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of 1995 or at the beginning of
1996 or future operations of the combined companies under the ownership and
management of the Company.
CitNat Bancorp, Inc.
On September 30, 1996, the Company merged with CitNat Bancorp, Inc., a $140
million bank holding company headquartered in Ohio, in a transaction accounted
for as a pooling of interest. Security Banc Corporation issued 907,893 shares of
common stock to the shareholders of CitNat Bancorp, Inc. based upon an exchange
ratio of 2.1842437 shares of Security Banc Corporation common stock for each
outstanding share of CitNat common stock.

3. Accounting Changes
38
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets
and For Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairments. The Statement
prescribes when assets should be reviewed, how to determine impairment, and what
financial disclosures are necessary.
Additionally, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" requires the recognition of rights to
service loans for others as separate assets, however those servicing rights are
acquired.
Both of the Statements were effective for 1996 and neither of these
pronouncements had a material impact on the financial statements.
4. Reserve Balance Requirements
The Company's subsidiaries are required to maintain certain daily cash and
due from bank reserve balances in accordance with regulatory requirements. The
balances maintained under such requirements were $10,331,000 at December 31,
1996 and $10,086,000 at December 31, 1995.

11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Security Banc Corporation has various commitments and contingent
liabilities outstanding, such as letters of credit and loan commitments, that

commit the Corporation to make payments on behalf of customers when certain
specified future events occur. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the
financial needs of Security Banc Corporation's customers. These arrangements
have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to
customers and are subject to Security Banc Corporation's normal credit policies.
Collateral is obtained based on Management's credit assessment of the customer.
Unfunded loan commitments and unused lines of credit as of December 31,
1996 were $115,361,000. The aggregate amount of outstanding letters of credit
was $1,452,000 at December 31, 1996. No significant losses are anticipated as a

13. Stock Options
Security sponsors non-qualified and incentive stock option plans covering
key employees. Approximately 240,000 shares have been authorized under the
plans, 5,520 shares of which were available at December 31, 1996 for future
grants. All options granted have a maximum term of 10 years. Options granted
vest ratably over five years.
Security has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", requires use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the
exercise price of Security employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Security stock option activity and related information for the periods
ended December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, is summarized in the following
table:
1996 1995 1 1994

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996, ranged
from $8.12 to $33.00. The weighted average remaining contractual life of these
options is seven (7) years.
The fair value of the options presented above was estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively; risk free interest rates of
5.25%; dividend yields of 2.67%; volatility factors of the expected market price
of Security common stock of .037 and a weighted average expected option life of
seven (7) years. Because the effect of applying Statement 123's fair value
method to stock options results in net income and earnings per share that are
not materially different from amounts reported in the consolidated statements of
income, pro forma information has not been provided.
14. Retirement Plans
Security Banc Corporation has a non-contributory defined benefit pension
plan that covers all employees who have reached the age of twenty-one (21) and
have one thousand (1,000) hours of service during their anniversary year. The
amount of the benefit is determined pursuant to a formula contained in the

15. Profit Sharing Plan
During the year, the company had three profit sharing plans. The plan
covering employees of the former CitNat Bancorp, Inc. and Third Financial
Corporation will be merged into the Security National Bank plan effective
January 1, 1997, employees of the subsidiaries will be eligible to participate
in the Security National Bank Plan upon meeting plan eligibility requirements.
For eligibility and vesting purposes, employees will be given service credit for
service at the former CitNat Bancorp, Inc. and Third Financial Corporation.
All employees of Security National Bank become eligible participants in the
plan when they have completed one (1) year of eligibility service; have worked
at least five hundred (500) hours and are at least age twenty-one (21). Eligible
participants may make contributions to the plan by deferring up to fifteen
percent (15%) of their annual earnings.
The Board of Directors of Security National Bank annually determine the
bank's matching contribution to the plan. For the plan year ended December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, the matching contribution was fifty percent (50%) of
the employee's contribution up to the first six percent (6%) of annual earnings
contributed by the participant.
Employee contributions are one hundred percent (100%) vested immediately.
The bank's matching contributions are vested at twenty percent (20%) for each
year of eligibility service, based on five (5) year vesting schedule.
The contribution by the Companies for all three plans for 1996, 1995, and
1994 was $208,000, $209,000, and $205,000, respectively.

18. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of condition, for which
it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices
are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or
other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of the bank.
The estimated fair values of the bank's financial instruments not disclosed
elsewhere are as follows:
(000s) 1996 1995

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
This Committee deals with compensation issues as they pertain to executive
officers.
CEO COMPENSATION
Whenever the Committee has a meeting during which Mr. Egger's base salary,
annual bonus, or grant of stock options is on the meeting agenda, the Committee
sets aside time to discuss these matters without Mr. Egger and other officers of
the Corporation being present. During these sessions, the members of the
Committee debate the merits of the matters under consideration and, as part of
these discussions, generally consider the Corporation's financial performance,
Common Stock price performance, and Midwest Peer Group specific comparative
compensation data. In the past, the CEO compensation has been below the
comparative compensation of the Midwest Peer Group, whereas, the financial
performance of the Corporation and common stock price performance has been well
above the norm as it relates to the Peer Group. The Committee also considers
factors such as Mr. Egger's leadership, experience, knowledge, board
communications, Corporation's community involvement and strategic
recommendations, as well as the Corporation's positioning for future
performance. Although the Committee does not place any particular relative
weight on any one of the foregoing factors, the Corporation's financial
performance as it relates to increasing shareholder value is generally a key
factor. All of these decisions regarding the components of Mr. Egger's
compensation and the rationale are reported to the Board without Mr. Egger and
other officers present.
Based on the performance of the Corporation and its increased value for
the shareholder as well as being rated one of the top performing community banks
in the State of Ohio, the Committee believes Mr. Egger's compensation is a fair
reflection of the services he performs for the Corporation.
OTHER NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In addition, the Committee approved compensation recommendations for all
other named executive officers of the Corporation. Executive Officer salary,
bonus, and stock option grants are based on performance, and appraisals, along
with favorable corporate financial performance as it relates to shareholder
value.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Corporation are not paid a fee for serving
on the Board. However, Corporation Directors serving on an Affiliate Bank Board
are receiving a single annual retainer of $1,200 and a fee of $800 per meeting
attended ($200 for Committee Meeting). Corporation Directors who are also
employees of any of the affiliates of the Corporation receive no additional
compensation for service on the Corporate Board.
Pursuant to a Deferred Compensation Plan, directors may annually defer
any amount of their compensation as directors until age seventy (70) or until
they cease to serve on the Board, whichever occurs last. The deferred funds bear
interest until paid under one of the chosen methods as selected by the director:
(a) at an annually adjusted rate equal to one fourth percent (1/4%)
greater than the average bond equivalent yield to maturity on one-year United
States Treasury Bills in effect for the first five (5) business days in December
immediately preceding such calendar year, unless an alternate rate is set by the
Committee for that year at least fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the
year.
(b) annual positive total return on Security Banc Corporation Stock.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Harry O. Egger: The employment agreement with Harry O. Egger will automatically
be extended on January 1, of each year so that it provides for a continuing five
(5) year employment contract. In the event the Corporation/Bank ceases to exist
as a corporate entity, Harry O. Egger shall be paid in cash, as a lump sum,
equal to two-point-nine (2.9) times his annual base compensation determined by
averaging the same over the five (5) years immediately prior to the occurrence.
James R. Wilson: James R. Wilson shall be employed as President and CEO of
Citizens National Bank. The compensation shall be fixed at no less than $165,000
per annum. In the event the Banc or its subsidiary, the Citizens National Bank,
ceases to exist as a corporate entity for any reason then James R. Wilson shall
be paid in cash, in full, in a lump sum at the time of occurrence of any of said
events, a sum equal to 2.9 times his annual base compensation determined by
averaging the same over the five (5) years next prior to the occurrence. This
employment contract is for a term of two (2) years commencing on the date of
employment and terminating on September 30, 1998.
Other Agreements: James R. Wilson and Citizens National Bank entered into an
agreement which by the terms will require the Bank to make payments upon his
retirement or disability. Terms of the agreement require upon his normal
retirement to receive $50,000 annually for a period of 10 years. The Agreement
also addresses other issues as they relate to disability and death benefits.
Kenneth F. Rupp Jr.: Kenneth F. Rupp shall be employed as President and CEO of
Third Savings and Loan Company. The compensation shall be no less than his
current salary. In the event of a change in control or 12 months thereafter, of
which involuntary termination occurs, the Bank shall pay an amount equal to the
annual salary as of the date of termination. The Employment Contract terminates
July 9, 1997.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN
During the year, the company had three profit sharing plans. The plan covering
employees of the former CitNat Bancorp, Inc. and Third Financial Corporation
will be merged into the Security National Bank plan effective January 1, 1997.
Employees of the subsidiaries will be eligible to participate in the Security
National Bank Plan upon meeting plan eligibility requirements. For eligibility
and vesting purposes, employees will be given service credit for service at the
former CitNat Bancorp, Inc. and Third Financial Corporation.
All employees of Security National Bank become eligible participants in the plan
when they have completed one (1) year of eligibility service; have worked at
least five hundred (500) hours and are at least age twenty-one (21). Eligible
participants may make contributions to the plan by deferring up to fifteen
percent (15%) of their annual earnings.
59
The Board of Directors of Security National Bank annually determine the
bank's matching contribution to the plan. For the plan year ended December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, the matching contribution was fifty percent (50%) of
the employee's contribution up to the first six percent (6%) of annual earnings
contributed by the participant.
Employee contributions are one hundred percent (100%) vested immediately.
The bank's matching contributions are vested at twenty percent (20%) for each
year of eligibility service, based on five (5) year vesting schedule.
The contribution by the Companies for all three plans for 1996, 1995, and
1994 was $208,000, $209,000, and $205,000, respectively.

calendar months. Accrued benefits are fully vested after five (5)
years of vesting service.

REPORT OF THE STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
The Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors determines stock
option grants to executive officers and other eligible employees. Stock options
are intended to encourage key employees to remain employed by the
Corporation/Bank by providing them with a long term interest in the
Corporation/Bank's overall performance as reflected by the performance of the
market of the Corporation/Bank's Common Stock.
The Security Banc Corporation's 1987 and 1995 Stock Option Plans are
administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The aggregate number
of common shares of the Corporation which may be issued under the Plans are two
hundred thousand (200,000) and forty thousand (40,000) shares, respectively. As
of December 31, 1996, the total shares issued from each of the plans were
199,680 and 34,800 respectively.
Under the terms of the Plan, the Corporation may grant stock options to
Officers and certain key Executives. The options, which must be granted at fair
market value, expire ten (10) years from the date of grant.
All outstanding incentive stock options entitle the holder to purchase
shares at prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on the dates the
options were granted. The fair market value of a share of the Corporation's
Common Stock was $38.00 as of December 31, 1996.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding individual
exercises of stock options during 1996 by each of the named executives:
