COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", effective January 1, 1998, which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses). Components of comprehensive income are net income and all other non-owner changes in equity. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income. Components of comprehensive income are displayed net of income taxes.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ================================================================================ Safe Harbor Clause This report contains certain "forward-looking statements." The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis, describe future plans or strategies and include the Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the Company's market area and the country as a whole, loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state regulations. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. General The Company is a bank holding company whose activities are primarily limited to holding the stock of The Farmers Citizens Bank, Bucyrus, Ohio, ("Bank"). The Bank conducts a general banking business in northwest Ohio which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and non-residential purposes. The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net interest income which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management control. Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998. The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System which limits the activities in which the Company and the Bank may engage. The Bank is supervised by the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions and its deposits are insured up to applicable limits under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to its supervision. The Company and the Bank must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board and Ohio Division of Financial Institutions the prescribed periodic reports containing full and accurate statements of its affairs. The Bank conducts its business through its four offices located in Crawford and Morrow Counties, Ohio. The primary market area of the Bank is Crawford and Morrow and contiguous counties in northwest central Ohio. 12 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 redefines how operating segments are determined and requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about the Company's operating segments. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of Business Enterprises." The new standard becomes effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997, and requires that comparative information from earlier periods be restated to conform to the requirements of this standard. The adoption of this statement is not material to the Company. Changes in Financial Condition At June 30, 1998, the consolidated assets of the Company totaled $90.6 million, an increase of $12.0 million, or 15.29%, from $78.6 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in total assets was primarily the result of an $10.7 million increase in deposits which were utilized to fund a net increase of $6.8 million in investments and $4.4 million in loan growth. The remainder of the funds were invested in federal funds sold and other short-term interest-bearing deposits. Net loans receivable increased by $4.3 million, or 11.24%, to $42.8 million at June 30, 1998, compared to $38.5 million at December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily in the real estate related loan portfolio where the new loan demand continued to exceed loan repayments. Investment securities increased $6.8 million, or 21.03%, from $32.5 million at December 31, 1997, to $39.3 million at June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of rapid deposit growth realized from the opening of the Cardington, Ohio branch office which is a part of the Company's strategy to expand their market presence and customer base. A portion of the funds received from the deposit increases were temporally invested in federal funds until such time as they could be invested in higher yielding loans or investment securities. Deposit liabilities increased $10.7 million, or 16.26%, from $66.1 million at December 31, 1997, to $76.8 million at June 30, 1998. Management attributes the majority of the increase to the expansion of the banking operation while maintaining a competitive rate structure in the market area. Interest credited on accounts also contributed to the increase. Total shareholders' equity increased $218,000, or 1.95%, from $11.2 million at December 31, 1997, to $11.4 million at June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily the result of $484,000 in earnings for the first two quarters being offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income (unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale) during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the payment of a cash dividend to shareholders of $193,000. The Bank's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. Principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage-backed security repayments, maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations. The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB") as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland ("FRB"or "Fed"). While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid assets and (iv) the objectives of the asset/liability management program. In the ordinary course of business, part of such liquid investments portfolio is composed of deposits at correspondent banks. Although the amount on deposit at such banks often exceeds the $100,000 limit covered by FDIC insurance, the Bank monitors the capital of such institutions to ensure that such deposits do not expose the Bank to undue risk of loss. 13 The Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Bank is responsible for liquidity management. This committee, which is comprised of various managers, has an Asset/Liability Policy that covers all assets and liabilities, as well as off-balance sheet items that are potential sources and uses of liquidity. The Bank's liquidity management objective is to maintain the ability to meet commitments to fund loans and to purchase securities, as well as to repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms. The Bank's overall approach to liquidity management is to ensure that sources of liquidity are sufficient in amounts and diversity to accommodate changes in loan demand and deposit fluctuations without a material adverse impact on net income. The Committee monitors the Bank's liquidity needs on an ongoing basis. Currently the Bank has several sources available for both short- and long-term liquidity needs. These include, but are not restricted to advances from the FHLB, Federal Funds and borrowings from the Fed and other correspondent banking arrangements. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the FRB. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material affect on the Company and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Qualitative measures established by the regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined by the regulations), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 1998, that the Bank meets all of the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the FDIC, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as disclosed in Note 4 - Regulatory Capital. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's prompt corrective action category. At June 30, 1998, FC Banc Corp. had no material commitments for capital expenditures. Results of Operations Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 General. Net income is continuing to increase at a steady pace during the second three months of 1998, $264,000, as compared to the same three month period ended June 30, 1997, $214,000, an increase of $50,000. This increase was primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income, the absence of a provision for loan losses coupled withincreases in other non-interest income. A portion of the increase was off-set by an increase in non-interest expense. Interest Income. The rapid increase in average earning assets contributed to an increase in interest income of $225,000, or 16.57%, for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997. The increase was attributed to the additional loan interest and fee income of $100,000 resulting primarily from an increase in loans receivable and a $122,000 increase in investment income as well as the $3,000 increase in income from federal funds sold. These increases were off-set by the $120,000 increase in interest expense. Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposit liabilities increased $119,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. Total deposits increased by $10.7 million comparing June 30, 1998 to 1997, the average cost of funds over the past twelve months was 3.35% which was relatively stable with a gradual rise and subsequent decline being noted during the first four months of 1998. 14 Provision for Loan Losses. There were net recoveries of $4,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net recoveries of $102,000 during the same period in 1997. There was a negative provision for loan losses during the second quarter in 1998 compared to a provision of $7,000 during the same period ending June 30, 1997. The negative provision was based upon the results of the ongoing loan reviews and composition of the loan portfolio, primarily loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties and other forms of collateral, which are considered to have less risk. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $36,000, or 27.48%, to $167,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $131,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to a $23,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and $7,000 increase in other service charges. There were $3,000 in gains recognized on the sale of several available-for-sale investment securities during the period ended June 30, 1998. Non-Interest Expense.

The ratio of non-interest expense to average total assets was 3.54% and 3.49% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Income Taxes.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 General. Net income is continuing to increase at a steady pace during the first six months of 1998, $484,000, as compared to the same six month period ended June 30, 1997, $398,000, an increase of $86,000. This increase was primarily attributed to an increase in net interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses and an increase in non-interest income. A portion of the increase was off-set by an increase in non-interest expense. Interest Income. The increases in average earning assets contributed to the increase in interest income of $368,000, or 13.58%, for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 1997. The increase was attributed to the additional loan interest and fee income of $186,000 resulting primarily from an increase in loans receivable and a $160,000 increase in investment income as well as the $22,000 increase in income from federal funds sold. These increases were off-set by the $202,000 increase in interest expense. Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposit liabilities increased $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. Total deposits increased by $10.7 million comparing June 30, 1998 to 1997, the average cost of funds over the past twelve months was 3.35% with a gradual increase being noted during the first four months to 3.43% and then dropping back to 3.35%. The Federal Funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase were utilized by management as a funding source in accordance with the asset/liability management program. Provision for Loan Losses. There was a $25,000 negative provision for loan losses during the first six months of 1998 as compared to a $27,000 provision during the same period in 1997. There were net recoveries of $105,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net charge offs of $7,000, during the same period ending June 30, 1997. The absence of a provision was based upon the results of the ongoing loan reviews and composition of the loan portfolio, primarily loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties and other forms of collateral, which are considered to have less risk. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $47,000, or 18.73%, to $298,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $251,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to a 15 $35,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and $15,000 increase in other service charges. There were $8,000 in gains recognized on the sale of several available-for-sale investment securities during the period ended June 30, 1998. Non-Interest Expense.
