COBANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1997

NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of CoBancorp Inc. (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, PREMIERBank & Trust ("Premier") and Jefferson Savings Bank
("Jefferson"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: 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. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. It is the opinion of Management that all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation have been made and that all adjustments were of a normal
recurring nature.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash equivalents
include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds
are purchased and sold for periods of less than thirty days.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS

On February 27, 1997, CoBancorp, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Jefferson Savings Bank, an Ohio-chartered savings association located in
Jefferson, Ohio, for cash in the amount of $6,733,000, with additional
consideration of $649,000 attributable to certain favorable tax benefits
(confirmed by an I.R.S. Private Letter Ruling dated May 31, 1996). The
transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
preliminary purchase price allocation, which may be revised, resulted in a
write-up of assets to estimated fair value of approximately $2,500,000. It is
expected that an immaterial amount may be assigned to goodwill. Jefferson's
results of operations are included in CoBancorp's consolidated results of
operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have
not been presented because the effect of the acquisition is not material to the
consolidated results of operations. Jefferson, with assets of approximately $62
million, operates in three branch locations in Madison County, Ohio.
Jefferson remains a separate savings association subsidiary of CoBancorp.

NOTE C -- LOANS

The Corporation applies the provision of FASB Statement No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (as amended by FASB Statement No. 118). At
March 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, there were no loans that were considered
to be impaired under the Statement 114 criteria.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1997

NOTE D -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Corporation will be required to change the method currently
used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the
new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of stock options will be excluded. The impact on basic and fully diluted
earnings per share, is not expected to be material for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996.

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

The following discussion focuses on information about CoBancorp Inc.'s financial
condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from the
consolidated financial statements attached. In connection with any forward
looking statements made by the Registrant, the following disclosure is made.
Actual results could differ materially from any such forward looking statements
for a variety of factors including sharp and/or rapid changes in interest rates,
significant changes in the economy, or significant changes in accounting, tax or
regulatory practices or requirements.

EARNINGS RESULTS Net income remained relatively constant with a slight increase
over the previous year. For the first three months of 1997, net income was
$1,287,000, compared to $1,285,000 for the same period in 1996. Earnings per
share were $0.37 for the first three months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
changes affecting net income are explained in detail in the following sections.

NET INTEREST INCOME The net interest margin on a fully taxable-equivalent basis
was 5.30 percent for the first three months of 1997, compared to 5.15 percent
one year ago. Net interest income for the first three months of 1997 amounted to
$7,322,000, up significantly from $6,666,000 for the comparable period in 1996.
These amounts reflect net interest income adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent
basis by recognizing the tax effect of interest earned on tax-exempt securities
and loans.

The increase in fully-taxable equivalent net interest income of $656,000, or 9.8
percent, is due primarily to an increase in interest-earning assets. This
increase was partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities.
The Corporation also benefited from an increase in the overall yield on earning
assets, while the cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased slightly.

Average interest-earning assets were $550,261,000 and $514,723,000 for the first
three months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Average interest-bearing
liabilities for the same periods were $479,181,000 and $445,355,000,
respectively.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated a summary of the
changes in interest income and interest expense on a fully taxable-equivalent
basis resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates for the major
components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities:

NET NONINTEREST EXPENSES Total net noninterest expenses (total noninterest
expense less total noninterest income) were $5,255,000 for the first three
months of 1997, compared to $4,529,000 in the previous year, an increase of 16.0
percent. The increase in expenses is primarily the result of the acquisition of
Jefferson as well as the addition of several new offices of Premier in the
latter half of 1996. The increase in expenses has been partially offset by
increased income from service charges on deposit accounts, which were $757,000
in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $634,000 for the same period last
year. Securities transactions resulted in a $13,000 loss for the first three
months of 1997, compared to a gain of $295,000 for the same period in 1996.
Trust fees were up 17.9 percent in 1997 to $414,000, versus $351,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. For the first three months of 1997, salaries, wages
and benefits expense increased $252,000 over the same period for 1996. The
Jefferson acquisition accounts for approximately 20 percent of the increase,
while the balance is a combination of added staff for new offices and normal
salary adjustments.

Under the Deposit Insurance Act of 1996, the Corporation is assessed $.01296
annually for each $100 of its deposits insured by the FDIC in the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF"). Additionally, Premier and Jefferson have approximately $87 million
of deposits insured by the FDIC in the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF). During 1997, the annual assessment rate for SAIF-insured deposits will
be $0.0648 per $100.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES At March 31,1997, and December 31, 1996,
there were no loans that were considered to be impaired under Statement 114. The
allowance for loan losses, therefore, included no allocation for such loans.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management
evaluates past loan loss experience, present and anticipated economic conditions
and the credit worthiness of its borrowers. The allowance for loan losses is
increased by provisions charged against income and recoveries of loans
previously charged off. The allowance is decreased by loans that are determined
uncollectable by management and charged against the allowance.

Potential problem loans are those loans which are on the Bank's "watch list."
These loans are, or could become, nonperforming. This "watch list" is reviewed
monthly and adjusted for changing conditions. Loans on the watch list at March
31, 1997, totaled $7.2 million, or 2.0 percent of total outstanding loans.


<PAGE>   11


At March 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was
1.13 percent and 1.20 percent at December 31, 1996. The provision for loan
losses was $75,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, and $60,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.

The following table contains information relative to loan loss experience for

NONPERFORMING LOANS Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1997, totaled $3,092,000,
compared to $1,707,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase includes $1,165,000
in nonaccruing loans acquired with Jefferson. The category of accruing loans
past due 90 days or more totaled $155,000 at March 31, 1997 and $85,000 at
December 31, 1996. The balance in the allowance for loan losses was $4,649,000
at March 31, 1997 compared to $4,092,000 at December 31, 1996.

Except for installment and credit cards, loans on which interest and/or
principal is 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and any
previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed from income. Such loans
remain on a cash basis for recognition of income until both interest and
principal are current. Installment and credit card loans past due greater than
120 days are charged off and previously accrued but uncollected interest is
reversed from income.

The following table summarizes nonaccrual and past due loans (in thousands of
dollars).
