SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Information (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 1. Accounting Policies Sky Financial Group, Inc. (Sky Financial) is a financial holding company headquartered in Bowling Green, Ohio. Sky Financial has three bank subsidiaries primarily engaged in the commercial and consumer banking business in Ohio, southern Michigan, western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Sky Financial also operates businesses relating to commercial finance lending, insurance, trust and other related financial services. The accounting and reporting policies followed by Sky Financial conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change. These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all accruals of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Sky Financial at June 30, 2001, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain amounts in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not contain all financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Sky Financial's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000, contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Sky Financial include the accounts of Sky Bank, Sky Bank - Mid Am Region, Sky Bank - Ohio Bank Region, Sky Financial Solutions, Inc. (SFS), Sky Trust, N.A., (Sky Trust), Picton Cavanaugh, Inc. (Picton), Meyer & Eckenrode Insurance Group, Inc. (Meyer & Eckenrode), and various other insignificant subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No.141 requires all business combinations within its scope to be accounted for using the purchase method, rather than the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations and acquisitions. Upon the adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather will be assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Sky Financial is required to adopt this Statement on January 1, 2002 and early adoption is not permitted. Sky Financial has not yet assessed the impact of SFAS No.142 on its financial statements. Beginning January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard requires all derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes in these fair values will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value changes involving fair value hedges are generally recorded by offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded. Fair value changes involving cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income. This standard resulted in a pre-tax reduction of $2,746 in other comprehensive income in the first six months of 2001. 2. Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures On July 11, 2001, Sky Financial announced that it has reached a definitive agreement with Standard Federal Bank, Troy, Michigan, to purchase ten branch offices in northwest Ohio. Sky Bank will acquire the branch facilities and assume approximately $300,000 of deposit liabilities, while Standard Federal Bank will retain substantially all loans associated with the branches. The transaction should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2001, pending regulatory approvals. In March 2001, Sky Financial completed the sale of Sky Investments, Inc., its independent broker/dealer business. The sale resulted in a $634 pre-tax gain. In December 2000, Sky Financial sold substantially all of the assets of Sky Asset Management Services, Inc., its collection agency located in Clearwater, Florida. The sale resulted in a $500 pre-tax loss. On July 13, 2000, Sky Financial acquired the Meyer & Eckenrode Insurance Group, Inc., a full service insurance agency based in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Meyer & Eckenrode shareholders received 0.66 million shares of Sky Financial common stock in a tax-free exchange accounted for as a purchase. 3.

SFS's warehouse line of credit is included under bank lines of credit and was $101,486 at June 30, 2001 as compared to $73,678 at December 31, 2001. Sky Financial has entered into amortizing interest rate swaps, whereby it pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a variable rate. The swap is designed to fix the rate on the borrowings of the warehouse line that is used to fund the loan originations at SFS. 6. Other Comprehensive Income Other comprehensive income consisted of the following: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities available for sale: Unrealized securities gain (loss) arising during period $ 7,020 $(1,058) $22,963 $(4,150) Reclassification adjustment for (gains)losses included in income (443) (665) (1,368) (847) ------- ------- ------- ------- 6,577 (1,723) 21,595 (4,997) ------- ------- ------- ------- Cash flow hedge derivatives: Adoption of SFAS No. 133 -- -- (1,231) -- Unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedge derivatives 916 -- (1,515) -- ------- ------- ------- ------- 916 -- (2,746) -- ------- ------- ------- ------- Net unrealized gain (loss) 7,493 (1,723) 18,849 (4,997) Tax effect (2,622) 601 (6,596) 1,747 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total other comprehensive income $ 4,871 $(1,122) $12,253 $(3,250) ======= ======= ======= ======= 7. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable under stock options. For the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, 1,651,000 and 3,090,000 weighted shares, respectively, under option were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, 1,956,000 and 2,994,000 weighted shares, respectively, under option were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive. Earnings per share data have been restated for the 10% stock dividend declared in October 2000 and paid in November 2000. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Numerator: Net income $ 29,232 $ 31,499 $ 58,069 $ 62,605 =========== =========== =========== =========== Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 82,694,000 84,900,000 82,919,000 85,141,000 Effect of stock options 587,000 358,000 504,000 381,000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 83,281,000 85,258,000 83,423,000 85,522,000 =========== =========== =========== =========== Earnings per share: Basic $ 0.35 $ 0.37 $ 0.70 $ 0.74 Diluted 0.35 0.37 0.70 0.73 8. Capital Resources The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) has established risk-based capital guidelines that must be observed by financial holding companies and banks. Failure to meet specified minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory actions by primary regulators of Sky Financial and its bank subsidiaries that could have a material effect on Sky Financial's financial condition or results of operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines, Sky Financial and its bank subsidiaries must meet specific quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off balance sheet items as determined under regulatory accounting practices. Sky Financial's and its banks' capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Management believes, as of June 30, 2001, that Sky Financial and its banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. Sky Financial and its banks have been notified by their respective regulators that, as of the most recent regulatory examinations, each is regarded as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Such determinations have been made evaluating Sky Financial and its banks under Tier I, total capital, and leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events since these notifications that management believes have changed any of the well capitalized categorizations of Sky Financial and its bank subsidiaries. The following table presents the capital ratios of Sky Financial. June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total adjusted average assets for leverage ratio $8,461,434 $8,219,701 Risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet financial instruments for capital ratio 7,116,813 6,831,698 Tier I capital 682,524 676,934 Total risk-based capital 824,803 825,118 Leverage ratio 8.1% 8.2% Tier I capital ratio 9.6 9.9 Total capital ratio 11.6 12.1 Capital ratios applicable to Sky Financial's banking subsidiaries at June 30, 2001 were as follows: Total Tier I Risk-based Leverage Capital Capital - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regulatory Capital Requirements Minimum 4.0% 4.0% 8.0% Well-capitalized 5.0 6.0 10.0 Bank Subsidiaries Sky Bank 6.6 8.6 10.7 Sky Bank - Mid Am Region 6.7 8.3 11.8 Sky Bank - Ohio Bank Region 7.4 9.6 11.8 In September, 2000, the Board of Directors of Sky Financial reauthorized management to undertake purchases of up to an additional 5% (or approximately 4.2 million shares) of Sky Financial's outstanding common stock over a twelve month period in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The shares reacquired are held as treasury stock and reserved for use in future stock dividends and use in its stock option plans or general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2001, Sky Financial had repurchased approximately 1,805,000 shares of common stock pursuant to its 2000 repurchase program. 9. Line of Business Reporting Prior to the third quarter of 2000, Sky Financial reported two major lines of business: community banking and financial service affiliates. In the third quarter of 2000, management began reporting the results of its commercial finance lending affiliate, Sky Financial Solutions, separately from its other financial service affiliates. Prior periods were restated for comparability. Community banking includes lending and related services to businesses and consumers, mortgage banking and deposit-gathering. Commercial finance lending includes specialized lending to health care professionals, primarily dentists. Other financial service affiliates consist of non-banking companies engaged in broker/dealer operations, non-conforming mortgage lending, collection activities, trust and wealth management, insurance and other financial-related services. Sky Financial retains in its loan portfolio the commercial financing loans to health care professionals originated through its subsidiary, SFS, which in periods prior to the third quarter of 2000 had been sold upon origination to investors in the secondary market. The implementation of the new program and the elimination of gain on sale accounting treatment reduced second quarter of 2001 operating earnings by $2,670 compared to the second quarter last year. The new program at SFS reduced operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 by $4,980 compared to the same period last year. The reported line of business results reflect the underlying core operating performance within the business units. Parent and Other is comprised of the parent company and several smaller business units. It includes the net funding cost of the parent company and intercompany eliminations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Results of Operations Earnings for the second quarter of 2001 was $29,232, a decrease of $2,267 compared to the second quarter of 2000 operating earnings of $31,499. Diluted operating earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2001 was $.35 ($.35 basic), as compared to $.37 ($.37 basic) for the same period in 2000. The second quarter results reflect the implementation by Sky Financial of its new program to retain in its loan portfolio the commercial financing loans to health care professionals originated through its subsidiary, Sky Financial Solutions, Inc., which in prior periods had been sold upon origination to investors in the secondary market. The implementation of the new program and the elimination of gain on sale accounting treatment reduced operating earnings by $2,670, or $.03 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter last year. For the second quarter of 2001, return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA), also impacted by the new program, were 18.67% and 1.38%, respectively, compared to 21.97% and 1.58%, respectively, in 2000. Business Line Results Sky Financial's business line results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are summarized in the table below. Net Income (Loss) Quarter Ended June 30, 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Community Banking $32,040 $31,648 Financial Service Affiliates 647 619 Sky Financial Solutions, Inc. (2,309) 361 Parent and Other (1,146) (1,129) ------- ------- Consolidated Total $29,232 $31,499 ======= ======= The community banking net income for the second quarter of 2001 increased slightly from 2000 second quarter earnings. This was primarily due to increases in net interest income and mortgage banking income, that was offset by a higher provision for credit losses and an increase in other expenses. The efficiency ratio was 45.2% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 45.5% in the second quarter of 2000. The 2001 community banking results reflect a ROE of 21.87% and a ROA of 1.58% compared to 21.60% and 1.56%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2000. Sky Financial Solutions earnings decreased for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The second quarter 2001 results reflect Sky Financial's program to retain in its loan portfolio the commercial financing loans to health care professionals originated through its subsidiary, SFS, which in periods prior to the third quarter of 2000 had been sold upon origination to investors in the secondary market. The implementation of the new program and the elimination of gain on sale accounting treatment reduced operating earnings $2,670 compared to the second quarter of 2000. The financial service affiliates' earnings reflect Sky Financial's strategies to improve the profitability contribution of these businesses. For the second quarter of 2001, earnings remained level as compared to the same period for 2000. For the second quarter of 2001, revenues decreased $2,680 as compared to 2000, primarily due to the sale of Sky Financial's independent broker/dealer business during the first quarter of 2001, partially offset by commissions at Meyer & Eckenrode which was acquired in July of 2000. Parent and other includes the net funding costs of the parent company and all significant non-recurring items of income and expense. For the second quarter of 2001, earnings remained level as compared to the same period for 2000. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the second quarter of 2001 was $79,745, an increase of $4,303 or 6% from $75,442 in the second quarter of 2000. Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, is the most significant component of the Company's earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volumes, rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning assets increased 7% from the second quarter last year, with continued strong growth in average loans, increasing 8% from last year and average deposits increasing 5% from the same quarter last year. Sky Financial's net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 4.05%, an increase of 2 basis points from last quarter, but down 14 basis points from the second quarter a year ago. The net interest margin improvement from last quarter resulted primarily from loan and deposit growth, improving both the earning asset and funding mix. The following table reflects the components of Sky Financial's net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Rates are computed on a tax equivalent basis and non-accrual loans have been included in the average balances. SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

The provision for credit losses increased $3,835 or 81% to $8,568 in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $4,733 in the second quarter of 2000. The higher provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2001 was attributable to growth in the loan portfolio, which now includes loan originations by SFS, and higher net charge-offs. Net charge-offs were $5,930 or 0.39% (annualized) of average loans during the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $4,545 or 0.32% (annualized) for the same period in 2000. June 30, December 31, June 30, 2001 2000 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans 1.58% 1.58% 1.57% Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans 376.50 434.58 492.99 Other Income Other income for the second quarter reflects the full completion of Sky Financial's restructuring of its fee-based businesses during the past year. Other income for the second quarter of 2001 was $30,348, a decrease of $2,103 or 7% from the $32,451 in the same period last year. The decline was primarily due to a decrease of $3,863 due to the impact of eliminating gains on sale of commercial financing loans at SFS, a decrease in brokerage and insurance commissions which included a decline of $3,618 due to the sale of Sky Financial's independent brokerage business completed in March of this year, and a decrease of $491 in collection agency fees due to the sale of Sky Financial's collection agency in the fourth quarter of last year. Excluding the results from businesses sold over the past year and the impact of eliminating the gains on sale of loans at SFS, other income for the second quarter of 2001 was $30,348, an increase of $1,145 or 4% from the $29,203 for the first quarter of 2001, and an increase of $5,869 or 24% from $24,479 in the same period last year. Mortgage banking income, driven by significantly increased origination volumes, was $6,054 for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $3,153, or 109% from the second quarter last year. Service charges on deposits for the second quarter of 2001 were $7,628, an increase of $933, or 14%, from the same quarter last year. Other Expense Other expense for the second quarter of 2001 was $58,160 compared to $59,239 last quarter, and $57,143 in the second quarter last year. From the second quarter last year, the increase was primarily in salaries and employee benefits due to higher "performance-based" compensation costs. The efficiency ratio, on an operating basis, was 52.41% for the first quarter of 2001, improved versus 54.24% last quarter and up from 51.93% for the same quarter last year. The increase in the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period last year is primarily related to lower current revenues resulting from the implementation of the new program at SFS. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2001 decreased $385 to $14,133 from $14,518 for the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 32.6% as compared to 31.5% for the same period in 2000. The higher effective tax rate is mainly due to a reduction in tax-exempt interest income resulting from a restructuring of the investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2000. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Results of Operations Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $57,657, a decrease of $4,948 compared to $62,605 for the same period in 2000. Diluted operating earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $.70 ($.69 basic), as compared to $.74 ($.73 basic) for the same period in 2000. The six months ended June 30, 2001, results reflect the implementation by Sky Financial of its new program to retain in its loan portfolio the commercial financing loans to health care professionals originated through its subsidiary, Sky Financial Solutions, Inc., which in prior periods had been sold upon origination to investors in the secondary market. The implementation of the new program and the elimination of gain on sale accounting treatment reduced operating earnings by $4,980, or $.06 per diluted share, compared to the same period last year. On an operating basis, return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA), also impacted by the new program, were 18.73% and 1.38%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 21.91% and 1.58%, respectively, in 2000. On a reported basis, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $58,069, a decrease of $4,536 compared to $62,605 for the same period in 2000. Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $.70 ($.70 basic), as compared to $.74 ($.73 basic) for the same period in 2000. Business Line Results Sky Financial's business line results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are summarized in the table below. Net Income (Loss) Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Community Banking $61,704 $61,846 Financial Service Affiliates 1,885 1,628 Sky Financial Solutions, Inc. (4,452) 528 Parent and Other (1,068) (1,397) ------- ------- Consolidated Total $58,069 $62,605 ======= ======= The community banking net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 remained level with earnings for the same period in 2000. This was primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking income, that was offset by a higher provision for credit losses and an increase in income taxes. The efficiency ratio was 46.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 46.4% for the same period in 2000. The 2001 community banking results reflect a ROE of 21.61% and a ROA of 1.54% compared to 21.37% and 1.59%, respectively, for the same period in 2000. Sky Financial Solutions earnings decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The 2001 results reflect Sky Financial's program to retain in its loan portfolio the commercial financing loans to health care professionals originated through its subsidiary, SFS, which in periods prior to the third quarter of 2000 had been sold upon origination to investors in the secondary market. The implementation of the new program and the elimination of gain on sale accounting treatment reduced 2001 operating earnings $4,980 compared to the same period in 2000. The financial service affiliates' earnings reflect Sky Financial's strategies to improve the profitability contribution of these businesses. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, earnings increased $257 or 16% compared to the same period for 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, revenues decreased $1,919 as compared to 2000, primarily due to the sale of Sky Financial's independent broker/dealer business during the first quarter of 2001, partially offset by commissions at Meyer & Eckenrode which was acquired in July of 2000. Parent and other includes the net funding costs of the parent company and all significant non-recurring items of income and expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, earnings increased $329 compared to the same period for 2000. The reason for the improvement in parent and other business segment is in the first quarter of 2001, Sky Financial completed the sale of its independent brokerage business. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $156,522, an increase of $4,780 or 3%, as compared to $151,742 for the same period in 2000. Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest- earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, is the most significant component of the Company's earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volumes, rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning assets increased 7% from the first half of last year, with continued strong growth in average loans, increasing 8% and average deposits increasing 4% from the same period last year. Sky Financial's net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 4.04%, down 19 basis points from the same period last year. The decrease in net interest margin from last year resulted primarily from higher funding costs, due to rising interest rates over the latter half of 2000. The following table reflects the components of Sky Financial's net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Rates are computed on a tax equivalent basis and non-accrual loans have been included in the average balances. SKY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

The provision for credit losses increased $6,154 or 68% to $15,224 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $9,070 for the same period in 2000. The higher provision for credit losses in the six months ended June 30, 2001 was attributable to growth in the loan portfolio, which now includes loan originations by SFS, and higher net charge-offs. Net charge-offs were $10,189 or 0.34% (annualized) of average loans during the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $7,802 or 0.28% (annualized) for the same period in 2000. Other Income The change in other income reflects the emphasis of Sky Financial on expanding its profitable fee-based businesses, divesting its under-performing businesses and the redesign of SFS. On a reported basis, six months ended June 30, 2001 other income decreased $549 as compared to the same period for last year. The decline was primarily due to a decrease of $7,225 due to the impact of eliminating gains on sale of commercial financing loans at SFS, a decrease in brokerage and insurance commissions which included a decline of $5,367 due to the sale of Sky Financial's independent brokerage business completed in March of this year, and a decrease of $1,279 in collection agency fees due to the sale of Sky Financial's collection agency in the fourth quarter of last year. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2001, excluding non-recurring gains and revenues from businesses sold or redesigned over the past year was $59,551, an increase of $12,688 or 27% from the $46,863 for the same period in 2000. Other income growth was most significant in mortgage banking income, up $5,096 or 91%, service charges on deposit accounts, up $1,544 or 12% and insurance commissions, primarily attributable to Meyer & Eckenrode, an insurance agency acquired during the third quarter of 2000. Mortgage banking income increased due to significant increases in origination volumes in the more favorable interest rate environment compared to the prior year. Other Expense Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $117,399, an increase of $2,850 or 3%, from the $114,549 reported for the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily in salaries and employee benefits due to higher "performance-based" compensation costs. The efficiency ratio was 53.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, up from 52.30% for the same period last year, with the increase primarily related to lower current revenues resulting from the implementation of the new program at SFS. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased $237 to $28,349 from $28,586 for the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 32.8% as compared to 31.3% for the same period in 2000. The higher effective tax rate is mainly due to a reduction in tax-exempt interest income resulting from a restructuring of the investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2000. Balance Sheet At June 30, 2001, total assets were $8,715,113, an increase of $328,311 from December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in loans of $306,529, loans held for sale of $16,527 and securities available for sale of $10,273. The increases were partially offset by a reduction in premises and equipment of $5,604 and an increase in allowance for credit losses of $5,035. The net growth in assets was funded primarily by growth in total deposits, up $204,397, and an increase in borrowed funds of $116,415. Shareholders' equity totaled $632,163 at June 30, 2001, increasing $22,473 from December 31, 2000. Net retained earnings (net income less cash dividends) for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $28,215. Other comprehensive income increased by $12,253, primarily due to an increase in the market value of securities available for sale. The increases were offset mainly by a net increase in treasury stock of $17,488 as Sky Financial continued to repurchase shares, as authorized by its Board of Directors, for issuance in future stock dividends and stock option plans (see Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Note 8). Non-Performing Assets The following table presents the aggregate amounts of non-performing assets and respective ratios on the dates indicated. June 30, December 31, June 30, 2001 2000 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-accrual loans $25,029 $20,329 $16,643 Restructured loans 1,079 1,131 1,211 ------- ------- ------- Total non-performing loans 26,108 21,460 17,854 Other real estate owned 2,367 2,221 2,450 ------- ------- ------- Total non-performing assets $28,475 $23,681 $20,304 ======= ======= ======= Loans 90 days or more past due and not on non-accrual $ 8,582 $10,294 $ 7,422 Non-performing loans to total loans 0.42% 0.36% 0.32% Non-performing assets to total loans plus other real estate owned 0.46 0.40 0.36 Allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans 376.50 434.58 492.99 Loans 90 days or more past due and not on non-accrual to total loans 0.14 0.17 0.13 Current loans where some concerns exist as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms, excluding non-performing loans, approximated $41,475 and $48,968 at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, and are being closely monitored by management and the Boards of Directors of the subsidiaries. The classification of these loans, however, does not imply that management expects losses on each of these loans, but believes that a higher level of scrutiny is prudent under the circumstances. These loans require close monitoring despite the fact that they are performing according to their terms. Such classifications relate to specific concerns relating to each individual borrower and do not relate to any concentrated risk elements common to all loans in this group. As of June 30, 2001, Sky Financial did not have any loan concentrations which exceeded 10% of total loans. Allowance for Credit Losses The following table presents a summary of Sky Financial's credit loss experience for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Balance of allowance at beginning of year $ 93,261 $ 86,750 Loans charged-off: Real estate (853) (798) Commercial and agricultural (5,797) (4,268) Installment and credit card (6,916) (6,889) Other loans -- (453) -------- -------- Total loans charged-off (13,566) (12,408) -------- -------- Recoveries: Real estate 300 651 Commercial and agricultural 1,013 2,068 Installment and credit card 2,032 1,880 Other loans 32 7 -------- -------- Total recoveries 3,377 4,606 -------- -------- Net loans charged-off (10,189) (7,802) Provision charged to operating expense 15,224 9,070 -------- -------- Balance of allowance at end of period $ 98,296 $ 88,018 ======== ======== Ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding 0.34% 0.28% Allowance for credit losses to total loans 1.58 1.57 Allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans 376.50 492.99 Sky Financial maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level adequate to absorb management's estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of a general allowance, a specific allowance for identified problem loans and an unallocated allowance. The general allowance is determined by applying estimated loss factors to the credit exposures from outstanding loans. For construction, commercial and commercial real estate loans, loss factors are applied based on internal risk grades of these loans. For residential real estate, installment, credit card and other loans, loss factors are applied on a portfolio basis. Loss factors are based on peer and industry loss data compared to Sky Financial's historical loss experience, and are reviewed for revision on a quarterly basis, along with other factors affecting the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Specific allowances are established for all criticized and classified loans, where management has determined that, due to identified significant conditions, the probability that a loss has been incurred exceeds the general allowance loss factor determination for those loans. The unallocated allowance recognizes the estimation risk associated with the allocated general and specific allowances and incorporates management's evaluation of existing conditions that are not included in the allocated allowance determinations. These conditions are reviewed quarterly by management and include general economic conditions, credit quality trends, and internal loan review and regulatory examination findings. The following table sets forth Sky Financial's allocation of the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Construction $ 1,520 $ 1,132 Real estate 26,602 27,091 Commercial, financial and agricultural 28,304 21,619 Installment and credit card 24,220 25,606 Other loans 909 1,009 Unallocated 16,741 16,804 ------- ------- Total $98,296 $93,261 ======= ======= Liquidity Management of liquidity is of growing importance to the banking industry. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet its current financial obligations is a function of balance sheet structure, the ability to liquidate assets, and the availability of alternative sources of funds. In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, Sky Financial's banking subsidiaries maintain adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities and unused borrowing capacity. At June 30, 2001, securities and other short term investments with maturities of one year or less totaled $65,965. In addition, the mortgage-backed securities provide an estimated cash flow of approximately $19,339 over a twelve-month timeframe. Each of the banking subsidiaries is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The FHLB provides a reliable source of funds over and above retail deposits. As of June 30, 2001, the banking subsidiaries had total credit availability with the FHLB of $814,382, of which $749,331 was outstanding. Sky Financial, through SFS, entered into a conduit warehousing facility with a financial institution to provide up to $125,000 of interim funding for loans originated by SFS. At June 30, 2001, the outstanding balance was $101,486 under the warehouse line of credit. Term funding of $82,320 was completed in February 2001 through the issuance of collateralized notes in a private placement. As of June 30, 2001 the outstanding balance was $82,198 under the term funding. An additional term funding of $104,760 was completed in July 2001 through the issuance of collateralized notes in a private placement in the 144A market. Since Sky Financial is a holding company and does not conduct operations, its primary sources of liquidity are borrowings from outside sources and dividends paid to it by its subsidiaries. For the banking subsidiaries, regulatory approval is required in order to pay dividends in excess of the subsidiaries' earnings retained for the current year plus retained net profits for the prior two years. As a result of these restrictions, dividends that could be paid to Sky Financial by its bank subsidiaries, without prior regulatory approval, were limited to $33,382 at June 30, 2001. In February, 2001, Sky Financial renegotiated an agreement with unrelated financial institutions which enabled Sky Financial to borrow up to $95,000 through March 5, 2002. At June 30, 2001, Sky Financial had borrowings of $50,000 under this agreement. Asset/Liability Management Closely related to liquidity management is the management of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Sky Financial manages its rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in net interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2001, Sky Financial had a manageable negative gap position and therefore does not expect to experience any significant fluctuations in its net interest income as a consequence of changes in interest rates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market risk is the risk that a financial institution's earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. Within Sky Financial, the dominant market risk exposure is changes in interest rates. The negative effects of this exposure is felt through the net interest margin, mortgage banking revenues and the market value of various assets and liabilities. Sky Financial manages market risk through its Asset/Liability Committees (ALCO) at both the subsidiary and consolidated levels. These committees monitor interest rate risk through sensitivity analysis, whereby it measures potential changes in future earnings and the fair market values of its financial instruments that may result from one or more hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis is performed by estimating the expected cash flows of Sky Financial's financial instruments using interest rates in effect at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. For the fair value estimates, the cash flows are then discounted to year-end to arrive at an estimated present value of Sky Financial's financial instruments. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are then applied to the financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair values are again estimated using these hypothetical rates. For the net interest income estimates, the hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based on the assumed cash flows. Sky Financial applies these interest rate shocks to its financial instruments up and down 200 basis points. The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of Sky Financial's annual net interest income and the present value of Sky Financial's financial instruments to sudden and sustained 200 basis-point changes in market rates. June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 Guidelines - ------------------------------------------------------------- One Year Net Interest Income Change +200 Basis points (3.2)% (2.7)% (10.0)% - -200 Basis points (0.1) 0.6 (10.0) Net Present Value of Equity Change +200 Basis points (27.8) (25.4)% (30.0)% - -200 Basis points 10.6 34.0 (30.0) The projected volatility of net interest income and the net present value of equity rates to a +/- 200 basis points change at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 fall within the ALCO guidelines. The preceeding analysis is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and reactions of depositors to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Further, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all actions Sky Financial may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
