10 RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Corporation's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1999. NOTE B--EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The number of shares used in the computation of basic earnings per common share was 4,091,198 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 4,067,198 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per common share was 4,091,198 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 4,104,362 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. NOTE C-- ACCOUNTING STANDARD IMPLEMENTED IN 2000 No new accounting standards have been implemented during the first three months of 2000. NOTE D-- RISK ELEMENTS AND LOAN LOSS RESERVE There have been no significant changes in the Risk Elements and Loan Loss Reserve activity that would materially effect the Corporation's financial position or results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000. NOTE E - BENEFIT PLANS The Corporation's Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan in 1997. Under the terms of this plan, options for up to 400,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock may be granted to key employees and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Stock option plans are used to reward employees and provide them with an additional equity interest. Options are issued for 10 year periods with varying vesting periods. The exercise price of the options is determined at the time of grant by a committee of the Board of Directors and cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123 requires proforma disclosures for companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Accordingly, the following proforma information presents net income and earnings per common share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. Compensation cost actually recognized for stock options was $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. 10 (Continued)

14 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Rurban Financial Corp. ("Rurban") was incorporated on February 23, 1983, under the laws of the State of Ohio. Rurban is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Rurban's subsidiaries, The State Bank and Trust Company ("State Bank"), The Peoples Banking Company ("Peoples Bank"), The First National Bank of Ottawa ("First National Bank") and The Citizens Savings Bank Company ("Citizens Bank") are engaged only in the industry segment of commercial banking. Rurban's subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. ("RDSI"), provides computerized data processing services to community banks and businesses and the Corporation's subsidiary banks. Rurban's subsidiary, Rurban Life Insurance Company ("Rurban Life") has a certificate of authority from the State of Arizona to transact insurance as a domestic life and disability reinsurer. Reliance Financial Services, N.A. ("Reliance"), a wholly owned subsidiary of State Bank, provides trust and financial services to customers nationwide. Rurban Mortgage Company ("Rurban Mortgage"), a wholly owned subsidiary of State Bank, operates a residential mortgage loan production office in Clearwater, Florida. This office underwrites, processes, closes and sells residential mortgages acquired through a network of real estate mortgage lenders in the Tampa Bay, Florida market and community banks in Ohio, including the four Rurban subsidiary banks. LIQUIDITY Liquidity relates primarily to the Corporation's ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers' withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, federal funds sold, securities available-for-sale and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $112 million at March 31, 2000, compared to $109 million at December 31, 1999. The $3 million decrease in liquid assets represents normal fluctuation and was not due to any change in policy of management regarding liquidity. Management recognizes securities may need to be sold in the future to help fund loan demand and, accordingly, as of March 31, 2000, the entire securities portfolio of $86.0 million was classified as available for sale. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, commonly referred to as the The Financial Services Modernization Act (FSMA), provides the opportunity for a bank to enter into new lines of business. One significant benefit of FSMA for community banks (under $500 million in assets) is the requirement that the Federal Home Loan Banks expand the types of collateral permissible to be pledged for FHLB advances. It is anticipated that during late 2000 the implementation of new collateral rules will significantly expand the FHLB borrowing capacity of the Corporations's four subsidiary banks. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholder's equity net of unearned ESOP shares was $44,967,641 as of March 31, 2000, an increase of $1,067,170 over $43,900,471 as of December 31, 1999. The increase was a result of first quarter's net income of $1,518,661 and a reduction in unearned ESOP shares of $39,319 offset by dividends declared of $455,479 and net change in unrealized depreciation on securities available for sale, net of tax of $35,331. Each of the Corporation's subsidiary banks exceed the applicable "well capitalized" regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2000. 14
15 As of March 31, 2000, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations. . SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Non performing loans increased $370,752 from December 31, 1999 to $2,525,097 or 0.50% of net loans at March 31, 2000. MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Net loans and loans held for sale increased $11 million from December 31, 1999 to $513 million at March 31, 2000; an annualized rate of 8.7%. Deposits grew $9 million from December 31, 1999 to $529 million at March 31, 2000; an annualized rate of 7.2%. Federal funds purchased, other borrowed funds and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $5 million from December 31, 1999 to $63 million at March 3, 2000; an annualized increase of 35.7%.

16 Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There have been no material changes in the Corporation's quantitative and qualitative market risks since December 31, 1999. The following table compares rate sensitive assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2000 to December 31, 1999. Principal/notional amount maturing in: (Dollars in thousands) <TABLE> <CAPTION> First Years Year 1 to 5 Thereafter Total --------- --------- ------------ --------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Comparison of 3/31/00 to 12/31/99 Total rate sensitive assets: At March 31, 2000 $ 253,589 $ 239,033 $ 106,614 $ 599,236 At December 31, 1999 293,282 266,263 25,373 584,918 --------- --------- --------- --------- Increase (decrease) (39,693) (27,230) 81,241 14,318 Total rate sensitive liabilities: At March 31, 1999 $ 377,090 $ 119,834 $ 94,874 $ 591,798 At December 31, 1999 352,800 128,483 95,948 577,231 --------- --------- --------- --------- Increase (decrease) 24,290 (8,649) (1,074) 14,567 </TABLE> Rate sensitive assets increased approximately $14 million for the three months, due to a $11 million increase in loans. During the quarter, The Corporation reviewed its methodology for calculating prepayments. Consequently, prepayments speeds were decreased. This refinement in prepayment assumptions is the primary factor in rate sensitive assets within one year decreasing by approximately $40 million. The interest sensitivity of the underlying portfolio has not changed significantly. Total rate sensitive liabilities increased approximately $15 million during the three months. During the period, the continued increase in rates has caused many customers to shorten the maturity of their certificates of deposit. This is the primary factor in the approximately $24 million increase in rate sensitive liabilities with maturities within one year. 16
