Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying  unaudited 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 and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.

1.   In the opinion of  management of the Company,  the  unaudited  consolidated
     financial statements  contained herein include all adjustments  (consisting
     of  only  normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
     consolidated  financial  position of the Company as of June 30, 1997,  June
     30, 1996 and December 31, 1996 and  consolidated  results of operations for
     the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

2.   The results of  operations  for the three  months and six months ended June
     30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
     the full year.

3.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
     in  conjunction  with  the  Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial  Statements
     contained  in the  Registrant's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
     1996.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

The  following is a discussion of the  Company's  results of operations  for the
three  months and six months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996,  and also  provides
information  relating  to the  Company's  financial  condition,  focusing on its
liquidity and capital resources.

On May 5, 1997, the Company and Huntington Bancshares  Incorporated,  a Maryland
corporation and a registered bank holding company  ("Huntington"),  entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger and a Supplemental Agreement (collectively,  the
"Merger").  A special  meeting is scheduled  for  September 9, 1997 at which the
Company's  shareholders  will  vote on the  proposed  Merger.  If the  Merger is
approved, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted
into 1.155 shares of Huntington  common stock.  The Merger is conditioned  upon,
among other things,  approval by a two-thirds  majority vote of the shareholders
of both Huntington and the Company, and receipt of certain regulatory approvals.

Net income of  $11,057,000  for the three months  ended June 30, 1997  increased
8.4% from the  $10,201,000  earned  during the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Earnings  per share for the second  quarter  1997 were $.39  versus $.36 for the
same period in 1996.  The  increase in earnings  is  primarily  attributable  to
improvements in net interest income and non-interest income. Offsetting this, in
part, was an increase in non-interest  expense and increased  provision for loan
losses. These changes are addressed in the analyses that follow.

Interest Earning Assets/Interest Income
Interest income for the second quarter of 1997 increased $9,113,000 (13.9%) from
the second  quarter of 1996.  This is due to an 11.1% increase in average volume
of earning  assets  during the second  quarter 1997 versus 1996 and the 17 basis
point  improvement  in the average  yield on earning  assets  from the  year-ago
quarter as indicated in the previous table. All of the increase in the volume of
average  earning  assets is due to the  growth in the loan  portfolios.  Average
quarterly  volumes  in the loan  portfolios  increased  15.3%  from those of the
second quarter 1996. While average mortgage volume remained constant, commercial
and installment loans showed strong average volume percentage increases of 28.4%
and 12.4% respectively versus the prior year period averages. Rates increased in
each loan category  resulting in the 9 basis point loan yield  improvement  and,
with the volume growth  confined to loans,  drove the overall asset yield up the
17 basis points.

With the  above  increasing  loan  demand,  the  average  volume  of  investment
securities remained relatively  unchanged from quarter to quarter.  Increases in
the overall  taxable  portfolio  yield between the periods reflect the generally
rising  market of  investment  security  yields during the last year as maturing
securities were generally reinvested at slightly higher rates.

For the six months period the overall  average yield on the loan  portfolios was
unchanged at 9.50%.  The ten basis point  improvement in the total earning asset
yield through June 30, 1997 is due to an increasing proportion of earning assets
represented by higher yielding loans.

Interest Bearing Liabilities/Interest Expense
The average volume of interest  bearing  liabilities  increased by  $301,546,000
when compared to the second quarter 1996. The dollar volume  increase was fairly
evenly  distributed  between  savings  deposits,  time  deposits and  short-term
borrowed  funds,  as the total of all categories  increased  11.4%.  The average
savings  deposit and short-term  borrowing  volume  increases,  10.4% and 55.2%,
respectively,  coupled  with  the  higher  rates  paid on these  categories  are
primarily  responsible  for the higher overall rate of costing funds. As part of
short-term  borrowings,  Federal Home Loan Bank  advances  have been a source of
increased  funding for the Company.  The impact of the above combined volume and
rate  increases  was  mitigated  somewhat by the decline in time deposit  rates,
particularly in the twelve month and longer  categories.  Time deposits in total
increased by only 6.0%.  The average rate on long term debt  reflects a decrease
with the  August  1996  conversion  of a  stand-by  loan to a term loan  bearing
interest at  seven-tenths  of a percent over the daily federal  funds rate.  The
overall rate on quarterly  average  interest  bearing  liabilities  increased 19
basis points to 4.90% in this quarter from the second  quarter 1996 average rate
of 4.71%.

Asset/Liability Management
The Company maintains an  asset/liability  management process whereby strategies
are developed and  implemented  to maintain the proper level of liquidity  while
maximizing net interest  income and minimizing the impact on earnings from major
interest rate changes.  Particular attention is placed on the Company's interest
sensitivity,  which is the degree net interest income is affected by a change in
market interest rates. Monitoring the balance of assets and liabilities that are
rate  sensitive  within  90 days and one  year is a  continuing  aspect  of this
process. When a cumulative rate sensitive ratio of 1.00 is maintained,  both the
interest  income and the  interest  expense  increase  or decline in tandem with
changes in market  interest  rates,  with the net interest income of the Company
not changing significantly as a direct result.

Liquidity  is  monitored  in  order  to meet the  needs  of  customers,  such as
depositors  withdrawing funds or borrowers requesting funds to meet their credit
needs. The Company's current internal and external sources of funds are adequate
to meet its liquidity needs.

Deposit gathering is a principal source of funds for the Company. Development of
consumer deposits is achieved by paying  competitive rates and by maintaining an
active  marketing  program.  Larger  certificates  of deposit,  issued to public
authorities  and the private sector,  also provide an important  source of funds
for the Company.  These  certificates  of deposit are purchased  primarily  from
within the Company's market areas and are considered a reliable source of funds.
The Company also purchases  brokered  certificates of deposit (CDs) from time to
time for varying periods of up to three years. Such purchases,  when they occur,
are made within established Company guidelines.  Current balances amount to less
than $17,000,000.

Another principal source of funds derives from routine payments on loans and the
maturities of loans and securities.  Externally,  the Company has the ability to
enter the federal funds market as a purchaser to meet daily liquidity  needs. In
addition,  the Company has the ability to enter into funding  arrangements  with
other financial institutions.

</TABLE>
The provision for loan losses increased $2,132,000 for the second quarter versus
the 1996 period. The increased  provision in the second quarter 1997 versus 1996
is necessitated by both the growth in the ending loan portfolio  balance as well
as the net charge-off experience between the respective quarters.  Loan balances
have increased by 14.8% from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997.

In assessing the adequacy of the loan loss allowance,  management considers many
factors,  including  changes in the type and volume of the loan portfolio,  past
loan loss  experience,  existing and anticipated  economic  conditions and other
factors that might be pertinent.  The amount actually provided in any period may
be more or less than actual net loan charge-offs for that period.  The allowance
for loan  losses as a  percent  of loans at June 30,  1997 is 1.31%,  up 4 basis
points from the 1.27% ratio at December 31, 1996.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter 1997 increased by $768,000 compared to the
second  quarter 1996. The amount  charged-off,  while higher than the comparable
prior year quarter, has stabilized or decreased when compared to the most recent
two quarters.  Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans outstanding  during
the quarter were .33% for the second  quarter of 1997 and .24% in the comparable
1996 period. This ratio is within the range of management's  expectations and is
considered a reflection of the Company's prudent lending practices. Non-accrual,
past due 90 day and renegotiated  loans,  along with other real estate, in total
were  .56% and .63% of total  loans  outstanding  at June 30,  1997 and June 30,
1996,  respectively.  The Company  compares  favorably with the banking industry
nationwide in these credit ratios.

Following are the balances  constituting the  nonperforming  assets and loans 90
days past due and still accruing as of the end of the respective periods.

</TABLE>
Non-interest  income,  which includes service charges on deposit accounts,  loan
fees,  trust  and  investment   management  fees,  other  operating  income  and
securities  transactions,  increased  $2,297,000 (26.3%) during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  Increases were seen in
most major  categories of  non-interest  income.  The largest of these increases
included  investment  products  revenues of  $505,000,  other loan and letter of
credit fees of  $397,000,  service  charges on deposits of  $315,000,  trust and
investment management fees of $306,000 and title insurance revenues of $219,000.
These  improvements  can be  attributed  to factors that  include the  Company's
emphasis on  expanding  existing and new  customer  relationships  by offering a
variety  of  investment  alternatives,  standardization  of  service  charge fee
schedules and procedures  beginning in 1996, and the growth in employee  benefit
and personal trust  balances under  management.  Smaller  improvements  in other
categories  offset by a decline in mortgage  banking income of $589,000,  due to
lower gains on loan sales,  resulted in the net overall  $1,576,000  increase in
other operating income.

</TABLE>
Non-interest  expense  increased  $2,770,000  (10.3%) when  comparing the second
quarter of 1997 with 1996. Of the total non-interest expense increase,  salaries
and benefits,  up by 10.6%,  constituted  the  majority.  Full time staffing has
increased with growth in the volume of lending and deposit gathering activities.
Other factors included increases in performance based and incentive compensation
with the increased emphasis on sales of alternative investment products, as well
as the annual merit increases  which  approximated  4.5% from 1996  compensation
levels.  Reduction in the cost of employee insurance and miscellaneous  benefits
virtually  offset the  increase in payroll tax cost  associated  with the higher
compensation expense.

Other  operating  expense  increases  occurred  in  advertising  and  promotion,
software support, loan processing,  and printing and supplies due, primarily, to
the advancement of the Company's retail strategies.

Equipment  expense  increases,  primarily  in  depreciation,   result  from  the
investment in data processing  systems  associated  with the Company's  enhanced
retail delivery efforts.

Fluctuations in income tax expense result primarily from changes in the level of
profitability  and  variations  in the amount of  tax-exempt  income.  The 10.5%
increase in pre-tax income and the decline in tax-exempt income of approximately
$223,000 account for the increased income tax expense between the two quarters.

  Shareholders' Equity at June 30, 1997                                                       $289,671
                                                                                               =======
</TABLE>
The Company issued a 5% stock dividend on May 31, 1997 to shareholders of record
April 30, 1997. Accordingly,  the balances that constitute  shareholders' equity
as reflected  in the June 30, 1997  balance  sheet,  have been  reclassified  at
market value to reflect the  additional  common  shares  issued,  an increase to
surplus and an offsetting reduction to retained earnings.

Shareholder's equity is the Company's principal capital base and it is important
that it  increase  along with the growth in total  assets in order for  adequate
capital ratios to be maintained. The ratio of equity to total assets at June 30,
1997 was 7.9%, up slightly from 7.8% at December 31, 1996.

The Federal  Reserve Board provides  guidelines  for the  measurement of capital
adequacy of bank holding  companies.  The Company's  capital,  as adjusted under
these  guidelines,  is referred to as risk-based  capital.  The Company's Tier 1
risk-based  capital  ratio at June 30, 1997 is 9.59%,  and the total  risk-based
capital  ratio  is  10.88%.  Minimum  regulatory  Tier 1  risk-based  and  total
risk-based  capital ratios under the Federal Reserve Board guidelines are 4% and
8% respectively.

These same  capital  ratios  are  applied  at the  subsidiary  bank level by the
Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation under which a  well-capitalized  bank is
defined  as one  with at  least a 10%  risk-based  capital  level.  All  Company
subsidiary banks met this definition at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

The capital guidelines also provide for a standard to measure risk-based capital
to total  assets.  This is  referred to as the  leverage  ratio.  The  Company's
leverage ratio at June 30, 1997 is 7.80%. The minimum standard leverage ratio is
3%, and virtually all financial  institutions  subject to these requirements are
expected to maintain a leverage  ratio of 1 to 2 percentage  points above the 3%
minimum.

In  addition  to  shareholders'  equity,  the  Company  had  long-term  debt  of
$29,537,000 at June 30, 1997 and at December 31, 1996.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In February  1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  Per Share."  This
Statement  establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS") and simplifies the standards

                                       12
<PAGE>
previously  found in APB  Opinion  15,  "Earnings  Per  Share,"  which  has been
superseded.  It replaces the  presentation  of "primary" and "fully diluted" EPS
with a presentation  of "basic" and "diluted"  EPS. Basic EPS excludes  dilution
and is computed by  dividing  net income  available  to common  shareholders  by
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB No. 15. SFAS No. 128
is effective  for the Company for both interim and annual  periods  ending after
December  15,  1997,  and  requires  restatement  of all  prior-period  EPS data
presented.  Earlier application is not permitted. Had SFAS No. 128 been required
to be implemented for the periods  presented,  the effect on EPS would have been
insignificant.
