    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                 
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                
                                                                               
                                                                      
     The following focuses on the consolidated financial condition of F C Banc 
Corp. at June 30, 1996, compared to December 31, 1995, and the results of 
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared
to the same periods in 1995.  The purpose of this discussion is to provide a 
better understanding of the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
included in the Form 10-QSB.   The Registrant is not aware of any market or
institutional trend, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably 
likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or 
operations except as discussed herein.  Other than as discussed herein, 
the Registrant is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory 
authorities which would have such effect if implemented.



Financial Condition

Liquidity

    Liquidity relates to the Corporation's ability to meet cash demands of its 
customers and their credit needs. Liquidity is provided by the Corporation's 
ability to readily convert assets to cash and readily marketable, short-term 
assets such as federal funds sold and deposits in other banks.

    Cash, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold totaled $5,811,000 at 
June 30, 1996.  Investments and mortgage-backed securities available for sale 
were $36,520,000 at June 30, 1996.  This amount decreased by $751,000 from 
March 31, 1996 and $1,067,000 from December 31, 1995 balances.  These assets, 
as well as anticipated deposit balance fluctuations, scheduled loan payments 
and maturing investment securities, provide the Corporation with an adequate 
source of funds for expected future demand for loans and for fluctuations in 
deposit volume.  They also provide management with the flexibility to change 
the composition of interest earning assets as market conditions change in the
future.

    Liability liquidity relates to the Corporation's ability to retain existing 
deposits, obtain new deposits and borrow in the marketplace.  Total deposits 
remained relatively constant increasing by  $312,000 for the three  months ended
June 30, 1996 for a total of $819,000 since December 31, 1995.  The Corporation 
has experienced some deposit disintermediation during the first six months of 
1996.  This is evidenced by the reductions in demand deposit and NOW account and
savings account balances of $673,000 and $750,000 respectively being offset by 
increases in time accounts balances of $2,242,000.   Management anticipates some
continued disintermediation with total deposits to experience moderate growth
or remain stable during the rest of the year.
             
    Access to advances from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in the form of 
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase (Repo 
Agreements) are supplemental sources of cash to meet liquidity needs.

Capital Resources

    Shareholders' equity totaled $10,413,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to 
$10,760,000  at December 31, 1995.  This decrease was primarily due to the 
acquisition of 7,796 shares of treasury stock and a net unrealized holding loss 
on securities available-for-sale of $257,000.   As of June 30, 1996, the 
ratio of shareholders' equity to assets was 12.49% compared to 12.86% at 
December 31, 1995. 


Regulatory Capital Requirements

    The Corporation complies with the capital requirements established by the 
Federal Reserve System, which are summarized as follows:

                                                            Capital Position 
                            Regulatory                           as of
                             Minimum     June 30, 1996      December 31, 1995
                                                                               
          
       Tier I                 4.00%          22.29%               22.61%
       risk-based
       capital......

       Total Risk-            8.00%          23.56%               23.88%
       Based capital

       Tier I             3.00% - 5.00%      12.95%               13.04%
       leverage.....


    Under "Prompt Corrective Action" regulations adopted in September 1992, the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has defined five categories of 
capitalization (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized).  The 
Corporation meets the "Well capitalized" definition, which requires a total 
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 8%.  
Under a current regulatory proposal, interest rate risk would become an 
additional element in measuring risk-based capital.  This proposed change is 
not expected to significantly impact the Corporation's compliance with capital 
guidelines.


Changes in Financial Condition

    Consolidated total assets were $83,385,000 at the end of the current period 
reflecting a decrease of $313,000 or 0.37% during the first six months of 
1996.  This reduction was primarily a result of market fluctuations in the 
investment portfolio of $257,000 net of the deferred taxes.  Overall the 
investment portfolio increased by $2,651,000 since December 31, 1995 and the 
loan portfolio also increased by $421,000.  These increases were funded 
primarily by the reduction of the federal funds sold of $4,200,000.  The various
other assets were increased by smaller amounts.  Cash and due from banks 
increased by $482,000 while other assets increased by $333,000.   
                              
Investment Portfolio

    The total investments outstanding increased during the second  quarter 
primarily due to the allocation of short-term unds in an effort to increase 
yields.  The valuation of the investment portfolio, which is all classified as 
available-for-sale, continues to remain relatively stable as shown by the 
aggregate market value decline for the second quarter of 1996 of $262,000, 
as compared to $119,000 for the first quarter or l05 basis points since 
December 31, 1995.  
    
 
Allowance for Loan Loss

    The allowance for loan losses was established and is maintained by periodic 
charges to the provision for loan loss, an operating expense, in order to 
provide for losses inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio.  Loan losses and 
recoveries are charged or credited respectively to the allowance for loan losses
as they occur. 
    
    The allowance/provision for loan losses is determined by management by 
considering such factors as the size and character of the loan portfolio, loan 
loss experience, problem loans, and economic conditions in the Bank's market 
area. The risk associated with the lending operation can be minimized by 
evaluating each loan independently based upon criteria which includes, but is
not limited to: (a) the purpose of the loan, (b) the credit history of the 
borrower,(c) the borrower's financial standing and trends, (d) the market value 
of the collateral involved, and (e) the down payment received.

    Quarterly reviews of the loan portfolio are conducted to identify problem 
loans and to determine appropriate courses of action on a loan by loan basis. 
Collection policies have been developed to monitor the status of all loans.  
Collection procedures are being activated when a loan becomes past due.

    Current internal loan review procedures provide for the analysis of a 
borrower's operating data, tax returns and financial statement performance 
ratios for all significant commercial loans, regulatory classified loans, past 
due loans and internally identified "watch" loans.  Specifically these 
procedures include; 1) the designation of an individual to function primarily
as a loan reviewer, 2) placing the loan reviewer under the direct supervision 
of the senior lending officer, 3) utilization of a "loan risk rating system" 
which prioritizes the loans to be reviewed, 4) review of all new credits by 
the senior lending officer, 5) revision of the "watch list" with formal 
presentation to the Board each quarter, and 6) utilization of the services of
an outside consulting firm to supplement the review function.

    The entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb any particular 
loan loss.  However, for analytical purposes, the allowance could be allocated 
based upon net historical charge-offs of each type of loan for the last five 
years.  Such an allocation of the allowance account would be as follows: 
Commercial Loans 69%, Real Estate Loans 18%, Installment Loans 1%, Credit 
Card 1% and the remaining 11% unallocated.  Currently, the losses experienced 
combined with the type and market value of the collateral securing the loan 
portfolio and the current financial standing of certain borrowers are the 
primary factors for the larger percentage allocation.  

    Management believes significant factors affecting the allowance are being 
reviewed regularly and that the allowance is adequate to cover potentially 
uncollectible loans as of June 30, 1996.  The Bank has no exposure from troubled
debt to lesser developed countries. 


Results of Operations - Second Quarter 1996 vs Second Quarter 1995

    Consolidated net income of $78,000 for the second quarter of 1996 was 53%
 less than the $148,000 recorded for the second quarter of 1995.  Expressed 
as annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity for 
the second quarter respectively, net income for 1996 was 0.40% and 3.01% 
compared to 0.63% and 5.61% for 1995.  Earnings per share decreased $.20 to 
$.24 per share for the second quarter 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

                          
    The decreased level of net income for the second quarter of 1996 compared to
the second quarter of 1995, resulted primarily from increases in other operating
expenses, mainly salary and benefits ($156,000) which was partially offsetby 
an increase in net interest income ($59,000).

    Interest income was almost the same for both the second quarter of 1996 and 
1995 increasing by only $19,000 in 1996. Total interest expense decreased by 
$40,000.  This occurred primarily as a result of decreasing yields on interest 
earning assets and the restructuring of the deposit portfolio. 

    There was no provision for loan losses in either quarter primarily 
attributed to those factors previously discussed above.

    Net occupancy and equipment expenses were similar in both periods with only 
slight inflationary increases noted.  

    Salary and benefit expenses increased as a direct result of management 
changes that occurred during the first two quarters of 1996.  It should also be 
noted that the assessment for FDIC deposit insurance has decreased appreciably 
in 1996.
