NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
RURBAN FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


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, 1998.


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 4,067,198 for
1999 and 4,053,596 for 1998. The number of shares used in the computation of
diluted earnings per common share was 4,104,362 for 1999 and 4,081,910 for 1998.


NOTE C-- ACCOUNTING STANDARD IMPLEMENTED IN 1999

No new accounting standards have been implemented during the first quarter of
1999.


NOTE D-- RISK ELEMENTS AND LOAN LOSS RESERVE

There have been no 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, 1999.


NOTE E - BENEFIT PLANS

The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a stock option plan. Under the
terms of this plan, options for up to 400,000 shares of the Company's common
stock may be granted to employees and directors of the Company 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.

NOTE E - BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

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 31,1999 and 1998.

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 for the Corporation's subsidiary banks as well as other
banks and businesses. 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' withdrawl requirements and provide for operating
expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, federal funds
sold, securities and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to
as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $120 million at March 31, 1999, compared to
$126 million at December 31, 1998. The $6 million decrease in liquid assets
represents normal fluctuation and was not due to any change in policy of
management regarding liquidity. Management recognizes that securities may need
to be sold in the future to help fund loan demand and, accordingly, as of March
31, 1999, the entire securities portfolio of $82.4 million was classified as
available for sale.


CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

Total shareholder's equity net of unearned ESOP shares was $42,399,000 as of
March 31, 1999, an increase of $496,000 over $41,903,000 as of December 31,
1998. The increase was primarily due to 1999 net income of $1,052,050, offset by
dividends declared of $409,107 and a net change in unrealized appreciation on
securities available for sale, net of tax of $189,000.

The Corporation's subsidiaries exceed the applicable minimum regulatory capital
requirements at March 31, 1999.

As of March 31, 1999, 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.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
- -------------------

There have been no material changes in the Company's plans to or status of
addressing the Year 2000 issue. During the first quarter, the company spent
approximately $216,000 of the budgeted $750,000 of Y2K out of pocket expenses.

Progress in the validation and implementation phases of the Y2K plan remains on
schedule. In regard to the validation phase, the Corporation has tested its
mission critical business applications for Y2K compliance and has found these
systems to be Y2K ready, with minor exceptions. These exceptions are scheduled
to be corrected by May 31, 1999. In regard to the implementation phase, the
Corporation has developed remediation contingency plans for items which are




                                       13

<PAGE>   14



not Year 2000 compliant, business resumption contingency plans and a liquidity
contingency plan. Planned activities during the last half of the calendar year
include:

     -    Continued testing of systems

     -    Continued contact with customers and vendors to assess their Y2K
          readiness and its potential impact on the Corporation

     -    Refinement and validation of contingency plans

     -    Employee training in execution of contingency plans

     -    Executing a Y2K communication plan to educate and continually update
          employees, directors, shareholders, customers and community members
          and to calm fears which may develop due to sensationalized media
          coverage of the millennium change.


Supplemental Information
- ------------------------

Non performing loans decreased $752,000 from December 31, 1998 to $2,870,000 or
0.67% of net loans at March 31, 1999.


Material Changes in Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------------

Loans and loans held for sale increased $22 million from December 31, 1998 to
$429 million at March 31, 1999; an annualized rate of 21%.

Deposits grew $9.7 million from December 31, 1998 to $461 million at March 31,
1999; an annualized rate of 8.6%.


Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $5,447,178, an
increase of $238,664 (4.6%) over the same period in 1998. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in the amount of earning assets.

Total noninterest income increased $214,645 to $2,577,222 for the quarter due
mainly to increases in data processing fees of $186,331, service charges of
$67,077 and other income of $95,897 partially offset by decreases in gains on
loan sales of $116,765 and gains on securities sales of $32,943.

Total noninterest expenses increased $553,078 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $282,847 (8.7%) due to annual merit increases and the hiring of
additional loan officers and data processing staff; partially offset by a 50%
reduction in staffing at Rurban Mortgage Company. Equipment expense increased
$154,023 (27.5%) primarily due to RDSI's purchase of a second mainframe computer
and associated software licensing costs which more than doubled their processing
capacity.

Income tax expense for the quarter was $366,775, a decrease of $146,219 over the
same period in 1998 due to a $100,000 favorable timing adjustment to deferred
income taxes receivable, which reduced the quarter's income tax expense by that
same amount.

The result of all of these factors was an increase in net income of $40,450 to
$1,052,050 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 when compared to the same
period in 1998.

Total rate sensitive assets increased approximately $16 million during the
quarter, due to a $22 million increase in loans. Of this increase, $15 million
was in Commercial Business loans.

Total rate sensitive liabilities increased approximately $12 million during the
quarter. Deposits increased $10 million-primarily certificates of deposits and
money market accounts. During the quarter, as part of the Y2K liquidity planning
effort, customers were encouraged to lengthen certificate of deposit maturities,
resulting in an increase of $8 million in rate sensitive liabilities with
maturities from over one to five years.
