Item 1 - Business:
National Bancshares Corporation (the "Company"), incorporated in 1985, is a one

June 2, 1986.  The Bank offers a full line of services usually found in any
commercial bank operation, including checking accounts, savings accounts,
certificates of deposit, personal loans, loans to business and industry,
installment loans, safety deposit boxes and credit cards.  The Bank does not
have trust powers and, therefore, does not offer trust services.  The Bank
operates nine full service offices and one limited service office in a market
area comprising most of Wayne County, portions of western Stark County,
northeastern Holmes County and southern Medina County.  There are approximately
17 other banking and thrift organizations in the immediate market area.  No
major elimination of services presently offered is anticipated in the immediate
future.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  It is subject to supervision,
examination and regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency.  The Company is
also subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve
System.  Management is not currently aware of any regulatory recommendations
which if were to be implemented would have a material effect on the registrant.

The headquarters of the Company and the Bank are located in Orrville, Ohio.
The Bank has a total of ten banking office buildings which are located in
Orrville, Dalton, Kidron, Smithville, Mt. Eaton, Apple Creek, Lodi and Seville,

Office which is a leased facility.

There were no legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to business during 1995.

(1) Checking includes NOW and MMDA
(2) Savings includes passbook and statement savings which do not have a preset
repricing date and have been included in the 1-5 years due to the relative
interest rate insensitivity.

The potential impact on the net interest margin from modestly rising interest
would be relatively insignificant due to the short duration of mismatch within
the first 12 months.  If interest rates were to immediately increase by 200
basis points, this could cause an increase interest expense greater than
interest income.  The potential impact would equate to lowering the current net
interest income by approximately 2.7% over the first 12 months.

</TABLE>

NONACCRUAL AND PAST DUE LOANS
Generally, recognition of interest income is discontinued where reasonable
doubt exists as to the collectability of the interest.  Income from nonaccrual
loans is recorded when received.  The difference between interest income
recognized on such loans and income that would have been recognized at original
contractual rates is immaterial.  The bank generally places loans on a
non-accrual status when a default of principal or interest has existed for 90
days or more.  The bank generally does not renegotiate loans due to
deterioration in the financial position of the borrower.  The amounts of
renegotiated loans are not considered material.

POTENTIAL LOAN PROBLEMS
Management reviews the loan portfolio for potential loan problems on a monthly

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
Due to the nature of our market area, it is management's opinion that there are
no significant loan concentrations of 10% of total loans to borrowers engaged
in similar activities other than noted in the loan categories disclosed in the
Annual Report to Shareholders (Appendix A, Page 16, Note 4).

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
The determination of the balance of the allowance for loan losses historically
has been based on an overall analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects an
amount, which, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for potential
loan losses.  This analysis considers, among other things, the Company's loan
loss experience, present and potential risks of the loan portfolio and general
economic conditions.  In addition, management considers the examinations of the
loan portfolio by federal regulatory agencies and internal reviews and
evaluations.  The Company's allocation of the allowance for loan losses by
category represents only an estimate for each category of loans based upon a
detailed review of the loan portfolio by management.

Transactions in the allowance for loan losses are maintained by three major
loan categories and the summary of such transactions for periods indicated
follows:

DEAR
SHAREHOLDERS

      The year 1995 proved to be an excellent year for our financial
institution. Income before taxes increased by over $280 thousand, or 11.3%,
over 1994. This increase is attributable to growth in net interest income of
approximately $778 thousand, or 11%, over the previous year. With this growth
coming entirely from taxable income, income taxes rose by over $129 thousand,
or 28.1%. This left net income after taxes up by approximately $151 thousand,
or 7.5%, over year end 1994.

      Total assets grew modestly over 1994 showing a year end increase of $2.1
million. The major change in assets occurred in the growth of our loan
portfolio. Total loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased over $16.9
million, or 30.1%, over 1994. The growth in loans was primarily funded through
a redeployment of maturing bonds from the security portfolio.

      Total cash dividends declared in 1995 amounted to $822,014, or
approximately 89.8 cents per share, based on the current number of outstanding
shares. This is an 11.6% increase over the total cash dividends declared in
1994. This increase in cash dividends continues the tradition of consecutive
annual dividend increases over the past quarter century. In addition to the
cash dividends declared this past year, a 5 for 4 stock split, payable in the
form of a 25% stock dividend, was issued in December 1995. Total shareholders'
equity exceeded $23.3 million, increasing by approximately $1.3 million, or
5.9% over the end of the previous year. This equates to an approximate book
value of $25.54 per share. Market value continues to increase with the market
makers bid price at $35.50 per share at year end. The bid price has increased
by over 25% during 1995.

      During the past year we implemented a dividend reinvestment plan and
stock buy back plan. The dividend reinvestment plan allows you, as a
shareholder, to reinvest your cash dividends in additional shares of the
company's common stock without incurring any brokerage fees or commissions. We
have had very positive responses from shareholders to this plan. The
availability of our stock on the open market is somewhat limited. If we are
unable to purchase stock during a dividend reinvestment period, we can issue
treasury shares that the company may have been able to purchase previously, or
issue authorized but unissued shares.  The stock buy back plan enables the
company to purchase its own stock on the open market when it may be
advantageous to do so. This plan also offers additional liquidity to larger
blocks of stock, such as estates, that may need to liquidate in short order.
Stock purchased under the stock buy back plan is placed in treasury shares for
possible use in the dividend reinvestment plan.

      The FDIC premium that all insured commercial banks must pay for deposit
insurance coverage fell dramatically in the latter part of the year. This
reduction was long awaited since the premiums skyrocketed in the late 1980's as
numerous bank failures put a burden on the insurance fund.
                                       2

      Today the fund is well capitalized which has enabled the reduction in
premiums. We are also undergoing a transition in our employee pension plan,
moving from a defined benefit plan to a 401(K) plan. We will experience a
pre-tax charge to earnings to settle the bank's obligation to the defined
benefit plan. This charge should be offset by the savings that will be realized
in the reduction of the FDIC premiums, thus having a negligible effect on
earnings.

      The economic scene in this country has done an about face during this
past year. While interest rates were on the rise through most of 1994, they
were on the decline through a good part of 1995. As the Federal Reserve noted a
slowing of economic conditions during this past year, they began to slowly
lower short term interest rates. With the annual rate of inflation falling
below that of the previous year, the bond market accepted lower long term
interest rates as well.  This enabled real estate mortgage rates to fall. The
Federal Reserve is continuing to follow their resolve to keep inflation at bay,
while keeping a watchful eye on general economic conditions. They have the
delicate job of adjusting short term interest rates to encourage economic
growth, while at the same time keeping inflation down. If inflation continues
to remain at bay, and the economy grows slowly, we may see a reduction of
interest rates as we move through the new year.

        We look ahead to 1996 as another year of many challenges. In addition   
to a changing interest rate environment, a changing competitive environment
poses many challenges to us as well. With many "non-bank" institutions, such as
insurance companies and brokerage houses, offering products that compete
directly with us, we find the competitive arena going far beyond other
commercial banks and savings and loans. This offers new challenges to the
marketing of our services. To meet these challenges and assure high quality of
customer service, we recently created a new executive officer position at First
National Bank, Vice President of Customer Services. This position was filled
with the appointment of Harold Berkey. In this capacity, Harold will be
responsible for overseeing all customer service, marketing and sales functions
for First National Bank. 

        In support of the many products and services we offer, we will be
undergoing a complete upgrade of computer system hardware and software during
1996. These new systems will offer the latest applications of customer support
for our financial products and services. 

        We look forward to meeting the many challenges 1996 holds for us. We
appreciate your support and confidence as we endeavor to keep you as
shareholders in a growing and profitable financial institution.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

      National Bancshares Corporation succeeded in setting a number of new
records in 1995. Total assets grew approximately $2.1 million ending 1995 at
$175,144,085. This represents a 1.2% increase over the previous year. Average
assets experienced strong growth for 1995 increasing to $169.8 million from
$155.9 million in 1994 or an increase of $13.9 million. Net income for 1995 was
$2,168,892 which exceeded 1994 net income by approximately 7.5%.

ASSETS

      Cash and due from banks was $7,946,503 and $8,261,107 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. This was a decrease of $315 thousand or 3.8%. Cash
reserves are maintained at appropriate levels in order to meet customer needs
and provide stability to the local economy with consideration given to
security.  Excess cash is prudently invested in order to maximize a safe and
profitable return on assets. A significant portion of this account is in the
normal processing of outgoing cash letters.

      Total investment securities decreased approximately $11.5 million ending
1995 at $78,687,704 compared to $90,237,648 at the end of 1994. The average
balance of taxable investment securities grew from $65.5 million in 1994 to
$66.4 million in 1995, while average nontaxable investment securities declined
approximately $213 thousand in 1995 from 1994. The market or fair value of the
total portfolio was $81,159,725 and $88,813,739 as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

      U.S. treasury and agency obligations decreased by approximately $5.8
million or 17% with balances of $28,566,474 on December 31, 1995 compared to
$34,408,100 on December 31, 1994. The net market appreciation of this category
was approximately $880 thousand as of December 31, 1995.

      Mortgage backed securities were $4,777,573 and $5,360,658 on December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. This was a decline of $583 thousand or 10.9%. The
net market appreciation of these securities was $50 thousand on December 31,
1995.

      Obligations of states and political subdivisions ended 1995 at
$17,171,409 which was 3% below the $17,698,561 balance on December 31, 1994.
The net market appreciation was approximately $1.1 million as of December 31,
1995. The change in the federal tax laws in 1986 has generally reduced the
supply of bank qualified tax free security issues. However, to assist in local
development, the bank actively purchases bonds issued by local municipalities,
school systems and other public entities when opportunities present themselves.

        Other securities ended 1995 at $28,172,248 which was 14.0% lower than
the December 31, 1994 balance of $32,770,329. This group of securities is
primarily comprised of high quality corporate bonds and notes. The net market
appreciation was approximately $587 thousand as of December 31, 1995. 

        Federal funds sold were $9,294,346 and $11,885,000 as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Average balances increased during the year with
1995 averaging $9.2 million compared to $7.1 million during 1994. Federal funds
sold are over night investments with our correspondent banks. This is a
significant investment tool that is used to maximize the earning assets of the
bank. 

        Total net loans increased by approximately $16.9 million or 30.1%
during 1995. Net loan balances were $73,141,286 and $56,215,091 on December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Average net loans posted an increase of $9.6
million with a yearly average of $64.7 million for 1995. Loans collateralized
by real estate were $47,070,211 on December 31, 1995 as compared to $40,541,407
as of December 31, 1994. All real

estate categories posted an increase in 1995. There was a $2.2 million increase
in commercial real estate loans, $3.4 million increase in residential
mortgages, home equity loans increased $113 thousand and construction loans
were higher by $854 thousand.

      Consumer loans totaling $14,460,752 on December 31, 1995 were 99.3% above
the 1994 ending total of $7,253,952. This increase was primarily the result of
additional automobile financing. The unearned income associated with these
consumer loans continued to decrease indicating the consumers demand for simple
rate loans. Commercial loans were $10,627,112 and $7,250,601 as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Credit card loans increased slightly during the
year with balances of $837,132 on December 31, 1995. Other loans decreased $237
thousand during 1995 ending the year at $1,728,407.

      The allowance for loan losses was $1,046,542 and $890,666 as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans
percentages were 1.41% and 1.56% and net charge-off to total loans percentages
were .03% and -.18% for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The net recovery for 1994
was primarily in the commercial loan area. As with any charge-off, the bank
continues to attempt recovery where feasible. Management reviews the allowance
for loan losses on a regular basis to determine the adequacy of the reserve.

      In the normal course of business, the bank makes commitments to lend
money to various customers. These commitments totaled approximately $21.1
million as of December 31, 1995. They are to businesses and individuals for
general credit, real estate construction and letters of credit.

      Accrued interest receivable ended 1995 at $1,637,600 which was a 1.5%
decrease from December 31, 1994. Accrued interest receivable is interest income
earned on investment securities and loans, but not yet received.

      Premises and equipment totaled $2,220,358 on December 31, 1995 as
compared to $2,378,202 on December 31, 1994. Improvements and repairs to bank
buildings and equipment are performed as needed to keep them in good working
order in an effort to provide convenient and pleasant banking offices to meet
our customers needs.

      Other assets totaled $2,216,288 and $2,402,567 as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. These assets mainly include intangible assets, prepaid
expenses and other real estate owned.

LIABILITIES

       Total deposits posted a $1.1 million or .8% increase ending
1995 at $146,996,114 as compared to $145,862,240 on December 31, 1994. Average
deposits increased from $131.2 million in 1994 to $141.4 million during 1995.

        Demand deposits which represent non-interest bearing checking
accounts ended 1995 at $25,013,104 which was a growth of 4.1% over the December
31, 1994 balance of $24,036,115. The average demand accounts for 1995 were
$23.2 million as compared to $20.8 million in 1994.
        
        Interest bearing checking accounts finished 1995 at $33,353,418 in
comparison to $33,430,545 a year earlier. This was a decrease of $77 thousand
or .2%. Average balances grew $2.4 million from $29.5 million in 1994 to $31.9
million in 1995. Interest bearing checking accounts include our Negotiable
Order of Withdrawal accounts and Money Market Deposit Accounts.

        Savings accounts totaled $39,852,700 on December 31, 1995 or $4.0
million below the end of the previous year. Average savings accounts decreased
from $43.3 million during 1994 to approximately $40.8 million in 1995.
Generally, this decrease was the result of customers moving their investments
into time deposits to improve their yield. First National offers both
passbook and statement savings accounts.

      Time deposits of less than $100,000 were $37,824,538 and $31,874,755 as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This $5.9 million growth equaled an
18.7% increase. Average time balances increased approximately $5.7 million
giving 1995 an average time deposit balance of approximately $36 million as
compared to $30.3 million in 1994.

      Time deposits of $100,000 and over decreased from $12,652,502 on December
31, 1994 to $10,952,444 on December 31, 1995. However, average time deposits of
$100,000 and over increased by $2.2 million over 1994 giving 1995 an average of
$9.4 million.

      Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $3,279,655 on
December 31, 1995 in comparison to $3,269,919 at the end of 1994 or
approximately $10 thousand higher. Federal reserve note account balance was
$351,110 and $1,000,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
note account is determined by the cash needs of the federal government. The
average of other funds purchased increased in 1995 to $4.7 million from $2.4
million during 1994.

      Other liabilities which include accrued interest payable, dividends
declared not yet payable and other accrued expenses increased in 1995 with
balances of $1,131,275 and $820,576 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        Shareholder's equity exceeded $23 million during 1995 with an ending
balance of $23,385,931 on December 31, 1995. This is an increase of $1.3
million or 5.9% above the 1994 ending balance of $22,089,249. This growth
equaled $1.42 per share raising the book value per share to $25.54 on December
31, 1995 as compared to $24.12 on December 31, 1994. Under the risk based
capital regulations with a 8% minimum, the total capital to risk based assets   
of 20.67% on December 31, 1995 was more than twice the minimum required by
federal regulations. The bank has remained in a very favorable position when
compared to its peer group in the area of capitalization. 

        In summary, the corporation experienced growth of approximately 30% in
loans, 1% in deposits and 6% in shareholders' equity.

LIQUIDITY

         Liquidity is the consideration of the corporation's ability to meet its
necessary out-going cash flow needs. Cash equivalents for the cash flow
statement is composed of $7.9 million in cash and due from banks and $9.3
million in federal funds sold with a combined total in excess of $17 million.
Therefore, management considers that the corporation is in a good liquidity
position to meet the demands of its customers and the local economy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income set a new record high of $2,168,892 in 1995 or
approximately 7.5% over 1994 net income of $2,018,235 The primary source of
income continues to be interest on loans and other investments with additional
revenues generated from fees on non-interest rated services.

        Interest and fees on loans of $6,259,570 for 1995 was above 1994 by
32.1% or approximately $1.5 million. This improvement was provided by
increases both in average loan volume and average interest yields.

        Interest on federal funds sold was $541,119 and $314,568 for 1995 and
1994, respectively. This increase of $227 thousand was the result of higher
average interest yields and higher volume of average funds sold.

        Interest on taxable investment securities increased by approximately    
$126 thousand ending 1995 at $4,766,088. This 2.7% increase in interest income
was due to the greater average interest rates and increased average investment
balances.

      Interest on obligations of states and political subdivisions totaled
$1,044,935 for 1995 which was $29 thousand or 2.7% below 1994. The average
balance of these investments decreased $213 thousand and the average tax
equivalent yield declined from 9.20% in 1994 to 9.06% in 1995.

      Total interest income of $12,611,712 was $1.8 million higher than 1994's
total of $10,766,011 as a result of the generally increasing balance volumes
and higher average yields in loans, taxable investment securities and federal
funds sold.

      Interest on deposits totaled $4,522,601 in 1995 as compared to
$3,603,025 in 1994. This $920 thousand increase which equaled a 25.5% rise
reflected both higher average rates and average balances increased in demand
deposit and time deposits.

      Interest expense on other funds purchased was $239,539 or approximately
$148 thousand more than 1994. This was the result of higher average balances
and higher rates.

      Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by 11% in
1995 totaling $7,849,572 as compared to $7,071,263 in 1994. The net interest
margin which is calculated on a tax equivalent basis increased from 5.24% in
1994 to 5.32% in 1995 reflecting a slightly improved interest margin for the
company.

      The bank provides for potential loan losses throughout the year. In both
1995 and 1994 the provision for loan losses was $180,000. As previously
mentioned, net charge-off to total loans was a net charge-off of .03% in 1995
and a net recovery of .18% in 1994.

      Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $7,669,572 in
1995 which was $778 thousand or 11.3% above 1994's total. 

      Noninterest income totaled $740,236 and $740,183 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Noninterest income is primarily comprised of checking account
fees which were $496 thousand in 1995 as compared to $487 thousand in 1994.
Other noninterest income includes safety deposit box rents, net security
gains/losses and other miscellaneous fees and collections.

      Noninterest expenses were $5,650,586 for 1995 in comparison to $5,152,378
in 1994. This was a $498 thousand or 9.7% increase over 1994. Generally, there
were increases in all categories of noninterest expense which include salaries
and employee benefits, data processing fees, net occupancy expenses, State of
Ohio franchise tax and miscellaneous other expenses. FDIC premium rates were
reduced in 1995 which caused a reduction of premium expense as compared to
1994.  The bank has been assigned the lowest premium rate for the first half of
1996 due to its high capitalization level and favorable regulatory evaluations.

      The income tax provision was $590,330 and $460,833 in 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The growth in taxable interest income was the main reason for
this increase.

      Net income for 1995 set a new record at $2,168,892 or approximately 7.5%
higher than 1994's total of $2,018, 235. This equates to net income per share
in 1995 of $2.37 as compared to $2.20 per share in 1994. Cash dividends
declared during 1995 were approximately $0.90 per share or $.10 per share above
1994's dividend of $0.80 per share. The dividend pay-out percentage for 1995
was 37.9% of net income. After dividends declared, $1.3 million was added to
shareholder equity from retained net income. Return on average equity was 9.49%
and 9.37% for 1995 and 1994, respectively. Return on average assets was a
respectable 1.28% in 1995 and 1.29% in 1994.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993


1.) BUSINESS & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION - National Bancshares
Corporation (the "Corporation") is the bank holding company for First National
Bank, Orrville, Ohio (the "Bank"). The Bank offers a full line of services
usually found in any commercial bank operation, including checking accounts,
savings accounts, certificates of deposit, personal loans, loans to business
and industry, installment loans, safety deposit boxes and credit cards. The
Bank does not have trust powers and, therefore, does not offer trust services.
The Bank operates nine full service offices and one limited service office in a
market area comprising most of Wayne County, portions of western Stark County,
northeastern Holmes County and southern Medina County.

      The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It is subject to
supervision, examination and regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency. The
Company is also subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the
Federal Reserve System. Management is not currently aware of any regulatory
recommendation which if were to be implemented would have a material effect on
the business.

      CONSOLIDATION - The financial statements include the accounts of National
Bancshares Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank
(the Bank). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank reflect
banking industry practices and conform to generally accepted accounting
principles.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      INVESTMENT SECURITIES - The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," as of January 1, 1994. The Statement requires that
securities be classified as held for trading, available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity. Securities held for trading are to be carried at estimated
fair value with the adjustment, if any, reflected in the statement of income.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are also to be carried at estimated
fair value; however, the adjustment, if any, would be reflected in
shareholders' equity. Securities held-to-maturity are to continue to be
carried at amortized cost. At January 1, 1994, the Company classified
investment securities as held to maturity having a carrying value of
$78,980,325 and a fair value of $82,721,892, and available for sale having
amortized cost of $1,195,263 and a fair value of $1,287,147. Accordingly, the
$91,884 adjustment to estimated fair value, net of deferred income taxes of
$31,241, was recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

      LOANS are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned
income, unamortized discount on purchased loans and an allowance for loan
losses. Interest on commercial and real estate mortgage loans is recognized in
income on a daily basis based upon the simple interest method and the principal
amount outstanding. Generally, interest on consumer installment loans is
computed using the simple interest method. Loans cease accruing interest when
management determines such interest is uncollectible.

      ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - The provision for loan losses is based upon
the Bank's past loan loss experience, current delinquencies, nature of the
loan, general economic conditions and trends, and an evaluation of the
potential losses in the current loan portfolio and is stated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. In management's opinion the allowance
for loan losses is adequate. However, changes in this estimate and evaluation
might be required depending on changing economic conditions and the economic
prospects of borrowers.

      Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- - Income Recognition and Disclosures," which impose certain requirements on the
measurement of impaired loans. The Company has previously measured such loans
in accordance with the methods prescribed in SFAS No. 114. Consequently, no
additional loss provisions were required by the adoption of these statements.
SFAS No. 114 also requires that impaired loans for which foreclosure is
probable should be accounted for as loans. The amounts of impaired loans, as
defined in SFAS No. 114, and impaired loans for which foreclosure is probable
are not significant. Thus, neither the initial adoption of SFAS No. 114 and
SFAS No.  118, nor the on-going effect of these statements, has had, or is
expected to have, a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Corporation.

      The Corporation's policy for recognition of interest on impaired loans
including how cash receipts are recorded is essentially unchanged as a result
of the

                                       14





<PAGE>   16


adoption of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118. A loan (including a loan impaired under SFAS
No. 114) is classified as non-accrual when collectibility is in doubt (this is
generally when the borrower is 90 days past due on contractual principal or
interest payments). Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that
cash payments are received. Loans are returned to accrual status when, in
management's judgment, the borrower has the ability and intent to make periodic
principal and interest payments (this generally requires that the loan be
brought current in accordance with its original contractual terms).

      PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
The provision for depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from 5 to 40 years.

      INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Core deposit premiums of $352,000 and goodwill of
$416,000 which resulted from branch purchases are included in other assets, and
are being amortized over the estimated average remaining life of the existing
customer base acquired using the level-yield method.

        EARNINGS PER SHARE are calculated based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the period. During 1995, the Corporation declared
a 5 for 4 stock split, effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend and,
accordingly, earnings per share and dividends per share for 1994 and 1993 have
been restated to reflect the increased number of shares. Statement of Cash
Flows - For purposes of this statement, the Corporation considers all cash and
due from banks and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents. 

        LOAN FEES - Loan origination fees received for loans, net of direct
origination costs, are deferred and amortized to interest income over the
contractual life  of the loan using the level yield method. Fees received for
loan commitments that are expected, based on the Bank's experience with
similar commitments, to be drawn are deferred and amortized over the life of
the loan using the level yield method. Fees for other loan commitments are
deferred and amortized over the loan commitment period on a straight-line
basis. Amortization of net deferred loan fees is discontinued on non-performing
loans.


2.) CASH

      Regulations of the Federal Reserve require depository institutions to
maintain reserves which are not available for investment purposes. Cash
reserves of approximately $1,171,000 and $1,209,000 were maintained at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3.) INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        The Bank grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans to its
customers who are primarily located in its market area.  has a diversified loan
portfolio and the area has a diversified industrial base. The majority of the
commercial loans are collateralized. Collateral varies and may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing
commercial properties. The consumer loans are primarily collateralized by
vehicles. 

        As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures." See Note 1 for additional information regarding this adoption. 

        A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current 
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The
Bank performs a review of all significant commercial loans to determine if the
impairment criteria have been met. If the impairment criteria has been met, a
reserve is calculated according to the provisions of SFAS No. 114. For loans
which are individually not significant and represent a homogeneous population,
the Bank evaluates impairment based on the level and extent of delinquencies in
the portfolio and the Bank's prior charge-off experience with those
delinquencies.  The Bank charges principal off at the earlier of (1) when a
total loss of principal has been deemed to have occurred or (2) when collection
efforts have ceased. 

        Impaired loans and related allowances are summarized below:

5.) COMMITMENTS
      In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments to
fund loans that are not presented in the accompanying financial statements. At
December 31, 1995, the commitments include the following:

Letters of credit                                   2,854,308             
                                               --------------
                                               $   21,085,334              
                                               ==============
</TABLE>

      The unused commercial and home equity lines of credit and real estate
construction loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's
credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
income-producing commercial or residential properties.

      The letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements,
including bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending
loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral for nearly all letters
of credit. Collateral includes certificates of deposit, other deposits, or
lines of credit, which may or may not be collateralized.

      A summary of premises and equipment is as follows:

8.) BENEFIT PLANS

      The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially
all employees. The plan benefit formulas generally base payments to retired
employees upon their length of service and a percentage of qualifying
compensation during their final years of employment. The Bank's funding policy
is to contribute annually an amount necessary to satisfy ERISA funding
standards. Plan assets are held by Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company and
are in an unallocated insurance contract.

      In January 1995, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the
Bank's defined benefit pension plan effective March 31, 1995. The Bank
submitted its termination request to the Department of Labor (DOL) in 1995.
Regulatory approval and termination of the plan is expected to occur during
1996. The Bank does not expect the settlement of benefits under this plan to
have a significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

</TABLE>
      The Bank implemented a 401(k) plan effective January 1, 1995 which covers
substantially all employees. The plan allows employees to contribute up to 15%
of their pay with the Bank matching 50% of contributions up to 6% of an
employee's pay. Discretionary contributions may also be made to the plan. Total
matching and discretionary contributions made by the Bank during 1995 amounted
to $74,986.

      The Bank has an Employee Stock Purchase Incentive Plan for full-time Bank
employees. Under the Plan each employee will be entitled to receive a cash
payment from the Bank equal to 20% of the purchase price of Corporation common
stock acquired by the employee on the open market up to a maximum of 100 shares
per calendar year.

      The Bank has implemented a director retirement benefit and death benefit
plan for the benefit of all members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The
plan is called the Director Defined Benefit Plan and is designed to provide an
annual retirement benefit, to be paid to each director upon retirement from the
board. The retirement benefit provided to each director is an annual benefit
equal to $1,000 for each year of service on the board from and after August 24,
1994. In addition, each director shall have the option of deferring any portion
or all of his or her director's fees to a maximum of $1,000 per month until
retirement. Pension expense recognized in 1995 for this plan was $27,001.


9.) INCOME TAXES

      The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
effective January 1, 1993. This statement supersedes Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 11 which had been followed by the Corporation. The effect on
net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 of adopting SFAS No. 109 was
not significant.

      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial and income tax reporting purposes, and (b) tax credit carryforwards.
Significant components of the Corporation's deferred tax assets and liabilities
were as follows:

12.) RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
      Certain directors and officers of the Corporation, their families and
certain entities in which they have an ownership interest, were customers of
the Bank in 1995, 1994 and 1993. Any transactions with such parties, including
loans and commitments, were in the ordinary course of business at normal terms,
including interest rates and collateralization, prevailing at the time and did
not represent more than normal risks. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, such loans
amounted to $4,802,000 and $3,315,000, respectively. New loans to related
parties totaled $2,874,000, $820,000 and $1,802,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, and repayments aggregated $1,387,000, $902,000 and $2,922,000 for
the respective years. At December 31, 1995 unused commitments to related
parties totaled $4,981,000.


13.) REGULATORY MATTERS
      Federal regulations require banks to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1
capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.00% and 8.00%,
respectively. In addition, banks must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier
1 capital to total assets of 3.00% for the strongest banks and not less than
4.00% to 5.00% for other banks. Failure to meet these minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional
discretionary, actions by banking regulators that could have a direct material
effect on the Bank's financial statements. The regulations also require the
regulators to make qualitative judgments that could result in higher minimum
capital requirements for certain institutions. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's
ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets were 19.74%
and 20.67%, respectively. At December 31, 1995 the Bank's leverage ratio was
12.77%.

                                       19





<PAGE>   21


     In 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule
that amends risk-based capital standards to explicitly identify interest-rate
risk as a qualitative factor to be considered in assessing the bank's overall
capital adequacy, but did not prescribe a specific capital charge. In addition,
the agencies issued a joint policy statement which addresses how interest-rate
risk exposure will be assessed for supervisory/regulatory purposes. The
agencies view this final rule as the first in a two-step process. The second
step will be to establish an explicit minimum capital charge based upon the
measured interest rate risk exposure of a given bank. The impact of this new
rule and policy statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Bank.
      The Bank is subject to certain dividend restrictions set forth by the
OCC.  Under such restrictions, the Bank may not, without the prior approval of
the OCC, declare dividends in excess of the sum of current year earnings (as
defined) plus the retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years. The
dividends, as of December 31, 1995, that the Bank could declare without the
approval of the OCC, amounted to $5,674,608.


14.) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
      The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required
to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
the Corporation could realize in a current market exchange. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, SFAS No. 107
excludes all non-financial instruments from disclosure requirements; therefore,
the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent, and should not be
construed to represent, the full underlying value of the Corporation.
      The following table presents the estimates of fair value of financial
instruments:

</TABLE>
      Cash and cash equivalents - For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
      Investment securities - Fair value equals quoted market price, if
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated
using quoted market prices for similar securities.
      Loans - For variable rate loans that reprice based on the prime rate,
fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of other loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and employ interest rates
currently being offered for loans with similar terms. The fair value of loans
is reduced by an estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
      Demand deposits and time deposits - The fair value of demand deposits,
which includes passbook accounts, money market accounts, and NOW accounts, is
the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of
fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently
offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
      Short-term borrowings - The fair value of short-term borrowings,
including securities sold under repurchase agreements and the federal reserve
note account, is estimated using rates currently available to the Bank for debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amount is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
      Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - The fair value of the
off-balance sheet financial instruments, including commitments to originate
loans and standby letters of credit, is considered to be equivalent to the
value of the current fees charged to enter into the commitments. These fees are
not significant at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
National Bancshares Corporation
Orrville, Ohio

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National
Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

      In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of National Bancshares Corporation and
Subsidiary at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
