Note to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Bancshares Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank, Orrville, Ohio (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

      The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

      The Company provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in northern Ohio. While the Company’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

      The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report or made by management of the Company, involve risk and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various important factors. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Additionally, the Company claims no notification responsibilities should their opinions change from those expressed herein.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheets

      Total assets increased $0.5 million or 0.2% over 12/31/99. Cash and due from banks decreased approximately $1.1 million, which was mainly the result of lower cash balances on 6/30/00 as compared to 12/31/99. Federal funds sold decreased $2.2 million or 25.2% due to loan demand and lower deposit levels. Securities available for sale decreased $802 thousand or 4.1% and securities held to maturity decreased $1.9 million or 3.8% from 12/31/99. The funds were used to support loan growth. Net loans increased $6.3 million or 6.3% due to increased demand for commercial loans.

Table of Contents

      The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the securities are summarized as follows:

      The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the first half of 2000 was as follows:

      The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgement, should be charged-off.

      The allowance for loan losses to total loans percentages were 1.27% and 1.30% as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. On an annualized basis, net charge-off to total loans percentages were .02% for the first half of 2000 and .11% for 1999. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .91% for June 30, 2000 compared to .25% for December 31, 1999. Non-performing loans consist of loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis to determine the adequacy of the reserve.

Table of Contents

      Impaired loans at June 30, 2000 were as follows:

      A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

      Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows at June 30, 2000:

      Total deposits decreased $1.9 million or approximately 1.2% from 12/31/99. Non-interest bearing demand accounts decreased 0.8%, savings and N.O.W. accounts decreased 4.7% and time deposits increased 3.3%. Deposit balances fluctuate based on the liquidity needs of our customers. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $1.4 million from 12/31/99. Total shareholders’ equity increased $0.5 million or 1.8% from 12/31/99.

Statements of Cash Flows

      Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2000 was $1.3 million compared to $1.2 million for the first six months of 1999. Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2000 was $4.0 million, down $6.5 million from the first six months of 1999 due primarily to lower investment purchases. Net cash of $0.7 million was used by financing activities primarily as a result of a decrease in demand and saving deposits. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.3 million during the first six months of 2000. With total cash and cash equivalents of $14.0 million as of 6/30/00, the Company’s liquidity ratios continue to remain favorable.

Interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended 6/30/00 or $88 thousand higher than 1999.

The six months results for the periods ended 6/30/00 and 6/30/99 were an increase in interest income of $313 thousand and an increase in interest expense of $152 thousand. This resulted in a net interest income increase of $161 thousand or 3.8% for the six months ended 6/30/00 compared to 6/30/99.

      Net interest rate margins were 5.25% and 5.11% for the first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest income yields increased 29 basis points as compared to interest costs, which increased 15 basis points in 2000 compared to 1999.

      Noninterest expense was $1.6 million for the three months ended 6/30/00 or approximately 4.8% above the same period in 1999. Year to date noninterest expense for 2000 was $3.2 million or 6.0% above the same period in 1999, due mainly to normal salary increases and higher employee benefit and data processing costs.

      Net income was $601 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/00 or 1.4% above the same quarter of 1999. Net income was approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended 6/30/00 or 3.3% below the first six months of 1999. The decrease was due primarily to higher noninterest expenses.

      Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale was $34 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/00 compared to ($64) thousand for the three months ended 6/30/99. Year to date unrealized depreciation was $203 thousand compared to $215 thousand for the same period last year. Higher interest rates have had a negative impact on the market value of the securities in the available for sale portfolio.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

      The Company successfully completed its Year 2000 changeover without significant problems in its core business processes. Management has confirmed normal operations across all products and markets on a sustained basis.

      While management believes it is unlikely, problems associated with non-compliant third parties could still occur. Management will continue to monitor all business processes and relationships with third parties during 2000 to ensure that all processes continue to function properly.
