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.

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.

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

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $6,316,677, an
increase of $980,042 (18.4%) over the same period in 1999. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in the amount of earning assets.

Total non-interest income increased $263,468 to $2,951,233 for the quarter. Data
service fees increased $311,601 to $1,340,463 (30.3%). Trust fees increased
$131,928 to $780,570 (20.3%). Service charges on deposit accounts increased

three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to a gain of $732 for the same period
of 1999. Net gains on sales of loans decreased $197,641 to $170,462 (53.7%).

Total noninterest expense increased $223,584 (3.5%) for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee
benefits increased $168,955 (4.8%).

Equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance expense increased $101,605
(14.2%). Other expenses and net occupancy expense of premises decreased $46,976

the same period in 1999.

The net result of these factors was an increase in net income of $466,611
(44.4%) to $1,518,661 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 when compared to
the same period in 1999.

   At December 31, 1999                    352,800           128,483            95,948           577,231

</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.
