MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      From time to time, the Corporation may publish forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, new banking and financial service products and similar matters. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe
harbor, Corporation notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual
results and experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results or
other expectations expressed in its forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, without limitation, changes in interest rates,
developments in the economies served by the Corporation, changes in anticipated
credit quality trends and changes in accounting, tax or regulatory practices or
requirements.
      In the following pages, the analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations in 1997 compared to prior years is discussed by
Management. The data presented in this discussion should be read in conjunction
with the 1997 audited financial statements of the report. Management is
committed to the improvement of return on average assets, return on average
equity and the efficiency ratio. 1997 brought about many changes which will
allow management to continue to achieve above-average ratios for the industry.
      1997 represented the first full year with the three (3) affiliates
together as a Corporation. The Corporation is finding that with three (3)
affiliates, many opportunities exist to reduce cost. The Corporation's new
affiliates, Third Savings and Loan and Citizens National Bank converted data
processing systems in February 1997 and May 1997. It is anticipated in the near
future that these conversions will improve customer service while decreasing
overall corporate costs for data processing.
      Also for 1997, the Corporation acquired software for Product Profitability
which in the near future will assist us in the types of products and the cost of
those products that are provided to our customers. It is the intention of the
Corporation to provide these costs obtained from the Product Profitability
Software with the Marketing Central Information System which was acquired in
1996. These two systems will provide better product offerings to our customers
and in turn allow the Corporation to have a full understanding of the actual
cost to offer and service a product.
      Security Banc Corporation continues to perform very well when compared to
our banking peers.

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,
1997, 1996, and 1995.
      The Corporation's net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was
$38,730,000, $33,920,000 and $33,280,000 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
Total average earning assets increased to $763,438,000 in 1997, compared to
$650,922,000 in 1996 and $609,859,000 in 1995. Earning assets are total loans,
total securities, interest bearing deposits with other banks and federal funds
sold. Average total loans increased $124,688,000 to $549,932,000. Average
securities, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold
decreased a combined total of $12,172,000.
      Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $111,552,000 to
$606,632,000 in 1997. Average time deposits increased $47,101,000. Average
purchased funds increased $7,103,000. Average NOW, Money Fund and savings
increased $2,943,000, $33,630,000 and $20,775,000, respectively.
      Average earning assets of $763,438,000 in 1997 contributed a tax
equivalent interest income of $63,633,000 with a yield of eight point
thirty-four percent (8.34%). Average earning assets for 1996 contributed a tax
equivalent interest yield of eight point eighteen percent (8.18%). Principally
the increased yield on average earning assets was attributed to increased rates
in commercial and real estate loans, as well as increased yields in the
investment portfolio.
      Average interest bearing liabilities of $606,632,000 in 1997 contributed
interest expense of $24,903,000 with an average rate of 4.11% compared to the
prior year of 3.90%. Money fund rates attributed to the large percent of
increase. Generally, these rates for the money fund portfolio increased from
2.85% to 4.25%. This increase was attributed to the new non-personal money fund
established in 1997 which was designed to attract additional deposit dollars for
the Corporation.
      Average rates on CDs greater than $100,000 increased from 5.09% to 5.43%
while CDs less than $100,000 decreased 5.49% to 5.42%.
      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.
Net interest income increased on a tax equivalent basis from $33,920,000 to
$38,730,000 or an increase of $4,810,000. The majority of this increase was
largely due to an increase in volume when compared to 1996. The increase in
volume of average earning assets from $650,922,000 to $763,438,000 when coupled
with the general interest rates from 8.18% to 8.34% increased total interest
income by $10,402,000 to $63,633,000.
      Rates for interest expense increased from 3.90% to 4.11% and when coupled
with the increased volume of interest bearing liabilities from $495,080,000 to
$606,632,000, this increased total interest expense for the Corporation by
$5,592,000 to $24,903,000. Comparing current year volumes and rates with
previous year volume and rates, the Corporation experienced an increase in net
interest income of $4,810,000.

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. Total other operating income for
the Corporation is $7,104,000 for 1997 compared to $5,893,000 for 1996.
      Trust income increased $100,000 to $1,616,000. Services charges on deposit
accounts increased to $2,958,000 from $2,660,000 while other income increased to
$2,213,000 from $1,355,000.
      The Corporation realizes the importance of increasing other operating
income which will compliment the improvement of the overall efficiency ratio.
      As discussed earlier, it's important for the Corporation to continue to
work on improving its efficiency ratio which will lead to the improved ratio for
return on average assets and return on average equity.

OPERATING EXPENSES
      The Corporation recognizes the importance of a low efficiency ratio. Low
efficiency ratios indicate the success of the Corporation in controlling
operating expenses; such as salaries, equipment expenses, and other operating
expenses. These expenses are generally measured using the term "Efficiency
Ratio" which is operating expenses divided by the sum of net interest income
plus other operating income. The Corporation's efficiency ratio as of December
31, 1997 was 49%. This indicates that it costs the Corporation 49 cents for each
dollar of revenue earned before taxes.
      Historically, prior to the acquisition of two additional affiliates, the
efficiency ratio was 42%. As the Corporation continues to improve its measure of
cost control, this ratio will continue to decrease. This is evident in the first
full year of consolidation being that the first three months of 1997, the
efficiency ratio was 50% as compared to the last three months of 1997 when the
efficiency ratio was recorded at 47%, thereby lowering the overall yearly
efficiency ratio to 49%. The efficiency ratios for Security National, Citizens
National, and Third Savings and Loan were 45%, 60% and 51%, respectively.
      Overall employment was 341 employees with total salary and benefits of
$11,005,000.
      Equipment and occupancy for 24 banking offices totaled $2,785,000 while
other operating expenses was $8,187,000. Other operating expenses include items
such as marketing, community donations, stationery and supplies, postage, and
data processing services.
      Amortization of intangibles increased to $752,000 as a result of the
Corporation's acquisition of the Third Financial Corporation.
      Operating expenses for 1996 reflect only two months of expenses for Third
Savings and Loan. This was due to the Corporation using the purchase method of
accounting in the acquisition of Third Financial Corporation. Whereas 1997
reflects a full 12 months of expenses for Third Savings and Loan.

LOANS
      Total average commercial loans increased twenty-eight point five percent
(28.50%) to $234,195,000 in 1997 yielding an average rate of nine point fifteen
percent (9.15%). Average real estate loans increased forty-six point nine
percent (46.90%) to $214,612,000, yielding an average rate of eight point
fifty-four percent (8.54%). Average consumer loans increased four point four
percent (4.40%) to $101,125,000, yielding an average rate of ten point forty-two
percent (10.42%).
      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, 1997, were $5,212,000.
      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 1997 increased to $1,873,000 from $1,669,000 in 1996.
The provision for loan losses was $1,300,000 in 1997 and $1,875,000 in 1996. The
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1997, was equivalent to one point
eleven percent (1.11%) of loans outstanding.
      The following table presents loan loss data for the most recent five (5)
year period.

INTEREST RATE AND LIQUIDITY
MANAGEMENT

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
      The Company seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and
net income while managing volatility arising from shifts in interest rates. The
Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) oversees financial risk
management, establishing broad policies and specific operating limits that
govern a variety of financial risks inherent in the Company's operations,
including interest rate, liquidity, and market risks. Balance sheet strategies
are reviewed and monitored regularly by ALCO to ensure consistency with approved
risk tolerances.
      Interest rate risk management is a dynamic process, encompassing both the
business flows onto the balance sheet and the changing market and business
environment. Interest rate risk by definition is the risk of decreased net
interest income whenever there are movements in market interest rates. Effective
management of interest rate risk begins with investments and funding sources.
      Measurement and monitoring of interest rate risk is an ongoing process. A
key element in this process is the Company's estimation of the amount that net
interest income will change over a twelve to twenty-four month period given a
directional shift in interest rates. The income simulation model used by the
Company captures all assets and liabilities, accounting for significant
variables which are believed to be affected by interest rates. These include
prepayment speeds on real estate mortgages and consumer installment loans,
principal amortization, and maturities on other financial instruments. The model
captures embedded options, e.g. interest rate caps/floors or call options, and
accounts for changes in rate relationships, as various rate indices lead or lag
changes in market rates. While these assumptions are inherently uncertain,
management utilizes probabilities and, therefore, believes that the model
provides an accurate estimate of the interest rate risk exposure. Management
reporting of this information is shared with the Board of Directors.
      At December 31, 1997, the results of the Company's interest sensitivity
analysis indicated that net interest income would be relatively unchanged by a
100 basis points increase or decrease in rate (assuming the change occurs evenly
over the next year and that corresponding changes in other market rates occur as
forecasted). Net interest income would be expected to decrease 2.1% if rates
were to fall 200 basis.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
      Liquidity Management is also a significant responsibility of ALCO. The
objective of ALCO in this regard is to maintain an optimum balance of maturities
among assets and liabilities such that sufficient cash, or access to cash, is
available at all times to meet the needs of borrowers, depositors, and
creditors, as well as to fund corporate expansion and other activities without
incurring unacceptable losses.
      A chief source of liquidity is derived from the retail deposit base
accessible by its network of branches.
      While liability sources are many, significant liquidity is available from
the Company's investment and loan portfolios. ALCO regularly monitors the

YEAR 2000 ISSUE
      The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millenium (year 2000) approaches. The "year
2000" problem is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation
will be affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00.
The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize date-sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to
fail.
      The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify,
correct or reprogram, and test the system for the year 2000 compliance.
Management has initiated a "Year 2000 Committee" to prepare the Company's
computer systems and applications for the year 2000. It is anticipated that all
efforts will be complete by March 31, 1999 allowing adequate time for testing.
To date, confirmations have been received from the Company's primary processing
vendors that plans are being developed to address processing of transactions in
the year 2000. Management does not expect the year 2000 compliance expenses to
be material to the Company's future earnings. The Company expects its year 2000
date conversion project to be completed on a timely basis.

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, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholder's equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. 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.

         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 the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Security Banc Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31,1997


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 Company, 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 are based on generally
accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the
banking industry. The following is a description of the significant accounting
policies followed by Security.

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 or when loans meet
regulatory non accrual standards.
     The company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." Certain large commercial loans are considered impaired
loans and 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.

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.

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 1997, 1996, and 1995 was $25,447,000,
$19,035,000 and $18,584,000, respectively.

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
   15
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.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
     On December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements
for earnings per share for entitles with publicly held common stock or common
stock equivalents. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with the presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic earnings per share computation to the corresponding amounts of the diluted
earnings per share computation. The adoption of this standard had no effect on
prior period data. The computation of the earnings per Common Share is as
follows:

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.


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.


JEFFERSONVILLE BRANCH
     On November 6, 1997, Security National Bank and Trust Co. purchased certain
assets and assumed approximately $11,700,000 in deposit liabilities of the
Jeffersonville Branch from a Bank competitor.
     This acquisition allowed Security National to expand its services to
Fayette County. The premium for the above transaction was $944,000 which will be
amortized over a period of 25 years for the portion allocated to goodwill and 10
years for the portion allocated to Core Deposit Intangible.

3.    ACCOUNTING CHANGES
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
This statement establishes standards for reporting the components of
comprehensive income and requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
included in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income as well as
certain items that are reported directly within a separate component of
stockholders' equity and bypass net income. The provisions of this statement are
effective beginning with 1998 interim reporting. These disclosure requirements
will have no impact on financial position or results of operations.
   16
DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION:
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The
provisions of this statement require disclosure of financial and descriptive
information about an enterprise's operating segments in annual and interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. The statement defines an operating
segment as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that
generate revenue and incur expense, whose operating results are reviewed by the
chief operating decision maker in the determination of resource allocation and
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997
however; it is not required to be applied for interim reporting in the initial
year of application. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this
statement on the disclosures included in its annual and interim period financial
statements.

4.    RESERVE BALANCE REQUIREMENTS
     The Company's subsidiaries are required to maintain certain daily cash and
due from banks reserve balances in accordance with regulatory requirements. The
balances maintained under such requirements were $10,745,000 at December 31,
1997 and $10,331,000 at December 31, 1996.

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,
1997 were $124,498,000. The aggregate amount of outstanding letters of credit
was $2,072,000 at December 31, 1997. 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, 4,020 shares of which were available at December 31, 1997 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, 1997, 1996, and 1995 is summarized below:

      Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997, ranged
from $8.12 to $42.50. 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 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively; risk free interest
rates of 5.00% in 1997 and 5.25% in 1996 and 1995; dividend yields of 1.98% in
1997 and 2.67% in 1996 and 1995; volatility factors of the expected market price
of Security common stock of .059 in 1997 and .037 in 1996 and 1995 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
retirement plan which, among other things, takes into account the employee's
average earnings in the highest sixty (60) consecutive calendar months. Accrued
benefits are fully vested after five (5) years of service. Security Banc
Corporation's funding policy is to make annual contributions to the plan which
at least equals the minimum required contributions. 

Disclosure of the net periodic Pension cost for 1997, 1996, and 1995 is as
follows:

     All employees of Security Banc Corporation and its affiliates 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 the Corporation annually determines the bank's
matching contribution to the plan. For the plan year ended December 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, 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 Corporation for 1997, 1996, and 1995 was $190,000,

17.    CAPITAL RATIOS
     The following table reflects various measures of capital at December 31,

Total equity (1) ................   $108,736    20.04%     $100,794    19.74%
Tier 1 capital (2) ..............     94,508    17.42%       88,470    17.33%
Total risk-based capital (3) ....    100,762    18.57%       94,858    18.58%
Leverage (4) ....................     94,508    11.55%       88,470    10.83%

(1)   Computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
      including unrealized market value adjustment of securities
      available-for-sale.

(2)   Stockholders' equity less certain intangibles and the unrealized market
      value adjustment of securities available-for-sale; computed as a ratio to
      risk-adjusted assets as defined.

(3)   Tier 1 capital plus qualifying loan loss allowance, computed as a ratio to
      risk-adjusted assets, as defined.

(4)   Tier 1 capital computed as a ratio to average total assets less certain
      intangibles.


     The Corporation's Tier 1, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios are
well above both the required minimum levels of 4.00%, 8.00%, and 4.00%,
respectively, and the well-capitalized levels of 6.00%, 10.00%, and 5.00%,
respectively.

     At December 31, 1997, all of the Corporation's subsidiary financial
institutions met the well-capitalized levels under the capital definitions
prescribed in the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.

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:
