ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
- -------  --------

GENERAL
- -------

         Capital Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company
with headquarters in Sylvania, Ohio. The Company was formed in July, 1988, for
the purpose of owning and organizing Capital Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), a national
banking association which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

         The Bank opened for business on August 24, 1989, with $12.4 million in
equity capital contributed by the Company. As of December 31, 1996, the total
assets of the Bank were $559.2 million with equity capital of $30.5 million. On
December 31, 1996, the Bank paid the parent Company a $10.0 million cash
dividend, thereby reducing its equity. See "Capital Resources and Dividends"
narrative in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for further discussion.

         The Bank has focused its business on corporate, executive and
professional customers while pursuing a deposit gathering strategy of offering
money market checking and savings accounts in addition to certificates of
deposits at attractive rates to mid-sized to large depositors with an emphasis
of minimizing the operating costs of obtaining these deposits.

         The Bank is located in Sylvania, Ohio, a suburban community northwest
of Toledo, Ohio. In addition to drawing customers from Sylvania, the Bank also
draws customers from Southeast Michigan as well as Lucas and Wood counties in
Ohio. The Bank has defined its market niche as serving small to mid-sized
businesses, professionals and their families.

         The Company owns its main office facility located at 5520 Monroe
Street, Sylvania, Ohio through a wholly-owned subsidiary, CBNA Building Company.
The Company and the Bank operate no other offices.

COMPETITION
- -----------

         The Bank's primary competition for banking services comes from other
financial institutions located in Lucas and Wood counties. There are currently
13 commercial banks, 6 savings and loans and 50 credit unions believed to be
operating physical facilities in these counties. Many of these institutions are
affiliates of companies which have significantly greater assets than the Bank.
As of June 30, 1996 (the most recent date for which information is readily
available), total deposits held by financial institutions in Lucas and Wood
counties approximated $6.8 billion. Since its opening on August 24, 1989, the
Bank has grown from $12.4 million in assets to $559.2 million in assets as of
December 31, 1996. The management of the Bank believes the primary reason for
the Bank's success in deposit and loan growth is tied directly to its niche
orientation, and the fact that its products are delivered through highly
personalized service, as well as being very competitive with other financial
institutions in its market area.

EMPLOYEES
- ---------

         The Company's primary purpose is to operate as a bank holding company
for its bank subsidiary, Capital Bank, N.A. Therefore, the Company has no
compensated employees. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank had 78 full-time
equivalent employees, which represents a 500% increase in staff since the Bank
opened in August of 1989 with 13 full-time equivalent employees. None of the
employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

REGULATION
- ----------

         The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (the "Banking Act") as amended, and as such is subject to
regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. A bank holding company is required to
file with the Federal Reserve Board annual reports and other information
regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries. A bank holding
company and its subsidiary banks are also subject to examination by the Federal
Reserve Board.

         The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
("OCC") as a National Banking Association. Additionally, the Bank is regulated
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRS") as a member of
the Federal Reserve System. The regulatory agencies have the authority to
regularly examine the Bank and the Bank is subject to the regulations
promulgated by its supervisory agencies. In addition, the deposits of the Bank
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and,
therefore, the Bank is subject to FDIC regulations.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
- -------  ----------

         The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBNA Building
Company, owns real estate at 5520 Monroe Street which includes a 25,000 square
foot main office facility. The building expansion of an additional 25,000 square
feet was started in the third quarter of 1996 with final occupancy to be in the
second quarter of 1997. The facility provides the Bank with Class A office space
and all necessary technological supports to operate an effective, personalized
bank which meets the goals of the Company and the Bank. Management of the
Company and Bank as well as the respective Boards of Directors of these
organizations, believe that the facility will be sufficient for expected growth
in the Bank for the foreseeable future.



ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------  -----------------

         The Company and the Bank from time to time become involved in such
legal proceedings as are incurred in and incidental to the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, any losses resulting from such
proceedings will not be material to the financial condition, liquidity, or
results of operations of the Company or the Bank.




ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
- -------  ---------------------------------------------------

         NONE.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER
- -------  -------------------------------------------------------------
                           MATTERS
                           -------

         There is no established public market for the common stock of the
Company.

         There were 786 shareholders of record as of March 7, 1997.

         No cash dividends have been paid on the Company's common stock. The
ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is dependent in large part on the
ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank is a national
banking association and, as such, is subject to restrictions and limitations on
the amount and timing of the dividends it may pay pursuant to the national
banking laws and regulations. See "Liquidity" narrative in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for
further discussion.

         Valuation of the Company's Common Stock is performed by an independent
financial consulting firm experienced in appraisals of commercial banks and bank
holding companies. The fair value of the Company's Common Stock was $37.50,
$29.95 and $25.14 per share at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
after giving retroactive effect to a 6% stock dividend issued during 1996, 1995
and 1994.

years. The objective of this financial review is to enhance the reader's
understanding of the accompanying tables, consolidated financial statements, the
related notes thereto, and statistical information presented elsewhere in this
report.

         The Company was organized in July 1988 and commenced banking operations
in August 1989. The Company achieved profitable operations during 1990 and
continued to experience significant growth in assets, deposits and profitability
during the three years ended December 31, 1996.


                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              ---------------------


NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

         Net interest income, the difference between revenue generated from
earning assets and the interest cost of funding those assets, is the Company's
primary source of earnings. Net interest income increased 17%, 13% and 28% in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. TABLE 1 is an analysis of factors affecting
this change. TABLE 2 sets forth an analysis of the changes in interest earned
and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and rates during each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Net interest margin (net
interest income divided by average earning assets) was 3.59% for 1996, 3.54% for
1995 and 3.81% for 1994. During 1996, the floating rate loan portfolio remained
level, with the same relative change occurring in deposit pricing. The one-year
Treasury note rate increased from 5.14% at December 31, 1995, to 5.48% at
December 31, 1996. The marginal increase in net interest margin from 1995 to
1996 is due to increased volume.

         Average loans outstanding increased 20%, 31% and 33% in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Average yield on these loans was 8.79%, 8.98% and 8.19%,
respectively. The changes in yield are reflective of the change in market rates
and the refinancing opportunities available during these periods. Securities
represent 30% of the total average earning assets of the Company at December 31,
1996, and the average yields were 6.65%, 6.71% and 6.54% as of December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The changes in yield are due to changes in
market rates and portfolio mix.

         Average total interest bearing liabilities increased to $432 million in
1996 compared with $376 million in 1995 and $310 million in 1994. The average
cost of interest bearing liabilities was 5.17%, 5.30% and 4.25% for the same
periods. The decrease in yield is a direct reflection of the increased volume
and favorable rate environment within the deposit portfolio.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
- ---------------------------

         The provision for credit losses was $980,000, $850,000 and $993,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Management maintains the allowance for credit losses at a level
adequate to absorb potential future losses. The evaluation performed is based
upon a continuous review of historical credit loss experience, specifically
identified problem loans, composition and growth of the loan portfolio, current
and projected economic conditions and other pertinent factors.

         Due to its focus on credit quality, the Company has experienced minimal
problems with asset quality and loan charge-offs. The Company has had three
consecutive years of no loan charge-offs and a total of only $216,000 in
charge-offs since its inception. Additional information regarding the provision
and allowance for credit losses is contained in the "Earning Assets" narrative.


OTHER INCOME
- ------------

         Other income consists primarily of securities gains and losses, service
fees on deposit accounts and other service fees. Total other income of
approximately $874,000 for 1996 increased approximately $121,000 or 16% when
compared to 1995 and 19% when 1995 is compared to 1994. Securities transactions
resulted in net (losses) gains of approximately ($55,000), $81,000 and $77,000
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Service charges on deposit accounts were
approximately $253,000, $252,000 and $230,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.


OTHER EXPENSES
- --------------

         Noninterest expense increased 16% in 1996 and 11% in 1995. Salaries and
benefits, which accounted for 53% and 49% of noninterest expense in 1996 and
1995, increased by 24% in 1996 and 16% in 1995. Full-time equivalent employees
increased 22% in 1996 and 19% in 1995. Management continues to control overhead
expense without impairing the quality of service provided to customers.
Operating from a single location has proven both efficient and effective. The
Company's total assets per employee approximated $7.2 million and $7.5 million
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively; this compares very favorably to
banks of similar asset size.

         The Company's efficiency ratio, computed by dividing other expenses by
net interest income plus other income, was 48.4% for 1996 and 48.8% for 1995.
This low ratio is indicative of efficient overhead cost control.

         During 1996, the assessment paid by the Company to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) decreased substantially due to an August 1995 FDIC
vote to reduce premiums banks pay on deposits. The Company's assessment for 1996
was lowered to $2,000 annually. The Company is currently being assessed the
lowest premium rate established by the FDIC because it is classified in the
highest capital rating category.

         In 1996, occupancy costs increased 6% over 1995 levels, due to the
building expansion started in late 1996.


PROVISION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
- ----------------------------------

         The Federal income tax expense was $2,681,000, $2,256,000 and
$1,844,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During each of these years, the
Company realized tax savings from the purchase of tax-free municipal bonds and
from a tax-exempt loan. The effective tax rate was 31.9%, 31.8% and 31.1% in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.



                               FINANCIAL CONDITION
                               -------------------

         The following discussions address key elements of financial condition,
including earning assets, the sources of funds supporting earning assets, credit
quality and experience, asset and liability management, and capital adequacy.

                                 --------------

LOANS
- -----

         Loans comprised 69%, 66% and 61% of the Company's average earning
assets in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Loan volume and quality continue to
be strong as the Company grows. The increase in net loans outstanding over the
prior year was $54 million, $73 million and $55 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

         The commercial loan portfolio represents loans to business interests,
located primarily within the Company's defined market area, with no significant
industry concentration. The residential real estate portfolio is primarily
adjustable rate mortgages that qualify for sale into the secondary market;
however, the Company has chosen to retain all residential mortgage loans in its
portfolio.

         TABLES 3 and 4 show the composition of the loan portfolio at the end of
each of the last five years and the loan maturities and rate sensitivities at

(A) Maturities based on ending contractual maturity dates. 
(B) Loans are reported at the earliest of maturity or repricing opportunity.
(C) Occasionally extensions or renewals of loan obligations are requested.
    These are reviewed on an individual basis and granted if deemed
    appropriate. Such extensions, however, do not materially alter the
    anticipated loan maturity tables as reported.
</TABLE>


        The Bank's credit policy establishes guidelines to manage credit risk
and asset quality. These guidelines include loan review and early identification
of problem loans to ensure sound credit decisions. The Bank's credit policies
and procedures are meant to minimize the risk and uncertainties inherent in
lending. In following these policies and procedures, management must rely on
estimates, appraisals and evaluations of loans and the possibility that changes
in these could occur quickly because of changing economic conditions.

         Nonperforming assets consist of loans on nonaccrual and loans over
90-days past due as to principal and interest and still in an accrual status.
Nonaccrual loans are loans which are 90-days past due and with respect to which,
in management's opinion, collection of interest is doubtful. These loans no
longer accrue interest and are accounted for on a cash basis. Loans which are
90-days or more past due and still accruing interest are loans which, in
management's opinion, are well secured and are in the process of collection.
Nonperforming loans amounted to $454,000, $138,000, $25,000 and $220,000 at
December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which consistently
represents less than .10% of total loans for the same periods.

         Potential problem loans are those loans which are on the Bank's "Watch
List" and exhibit characteristics that could cause the loans to become
nonperforming or require restructuring in the future. Management reviews this
list regularly and adjusts for changing conditions.

SECURITIES
- ----------

         During December 1993, the Company elected to adopt Financial Accounting
Standards Board Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" (FAS No. 115). Securities available for sale are stated
at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The unrealized gain recorded at
December 31, 1996, approximated $531,000 (net of $273,000 in deferred income
taxes). The unrealized gain recorded at December 31, 1995, approximated
$1,233,000 (net of $635,000 in deferred income taxes). An unrealized loss
approximating $2,074,000 (net of $1,068,000 in deferred income taxes) was
recorded at December 31, 1994. The designation of such securities is made by
management based upon liquidity needs at the time of purchase. There was no
designation of securities as available for sale prior to 1992.

         In November of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "A
Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" (the Guide). In implementing the Guide, a one
time opportunity was available for a company to reassess its securities
classifications and transfer any or all held to maturity securities to available
for sale. In accordance with the provisions of the Guide, the Company elected to
transfer all of its held to maturity investment securities at December 28, 1995,
to available for sale, at fair value of approximately $67.3 million.

         The securities available for sale (SAFS) portfolio at December 31,
1996, is composed primarily of U.S. Treasury (19.7%) and U.S. Government Agency
Securities (58.4%). The remaining 21.9% is composed of certain other securities.
The quality of this portfolio is 85% AAA rated bonds with an average maturity of
2.2 years. The SAFS portfolio represented 28% of total assets at December 31,
1996, and 29% at December 31, 1995.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
- ------------------

         Short-term Federal funds sold are used to manage interest rate
sensitivity and to meet liquidity needs. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the average
balance of these funds represented less than 1% of average total assets for the
same periods. As the Bank has grown, the ability to manage daily liquidity needs
has become stable and the use of daily Federal funds sold has been maintained at
a very manageable level.

DEFERRED FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
- -----------------------------

         Deferred Federal income taxes represent a net asset of $1,440,000 at
December 31, 1996. This amount is comprised primarily of deferred taxes relating
to the nondeductible portion of the credit allowance offset by the unrealized
gains on available for sale securities which total $1,772,000 and $273,000,
respectively. Certain limits exist for deduction of the provision related to
credit losses that exceeds actual experience. With insignificant loan
charge-offs, the Company's tax deduction to date, has been minimal. Sufficient
taxable income in prior years exists to realize the deferred tax assets that are
recorded.

                                SOURCES OF FUNDS
                                ----------------
DEPOSITS
- --------

         The Company's major source of investable funds is core deposits from
retail and business customers. These core deposits consist of interest bearing
and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding certificates of deposit equal to or
greater than $100,000. These core deposits grew to $332 million in 1996 from
$297 million in 1995 and $277 million in 1994.

         Certificates of deposit equal to or greater than $100,000 grew to $138
million in 1996 from $110 million in 1995 and $80 million in 1994. The continued
strong marketing effort to secure customers willing to consolidate deposits into
a single investment (ie. certificate of deposit) has allowed the Company to
support a strong loan growth. These funds are used to balance rate sensitivity
and as a supplement to core deposits.

         Since the Company places less emphasis on mass marketing of retail
products, its customer base consists of higher net worth individuals and their
related companies, and retirees. The net growth, since the Company opened in

reliable. Management anticipates a continuation of these trends. Average
deposits increased 15% in 1996, 21% in 1995 and 32% in 1994.

</TABLE>

         The increase (decrease) in average deposits by category for 1996 was as
follows: Noninterest bearing deposits, 13%; money market accounts, 11%; savings,
(6%) and other time deposits, 18%. The decrease in average savings deposits is
attributable to a shift in funds from personal and corporate accounts into a new
limited transaction money market product offered during 1994.

         Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more grew 26% in 1996. As the
Company grows, the market penetration of the retail customer base expands. In
addition, customers are continually consolidating banking relationships, taking
advantage of the Company's competitively priced deposit products. The maturity
distribution of certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more at December 31,
1996, is reflective of the interest rate environment during 1996, which had more
favorable rates in short-term investments.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
- ---------------------

         Short-term borrowings were $42 million, $35 million and $29 million at
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Short-term borrowings are primarily composed of advances from The
Federal Home Loan Bank (44.9%). The remaining 55.1% is composed of securities
sold under agreements to repurchase which are secured transactions, a majority
of which mature within one year or less and Federal funds borrowings. Additional
information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal
Home Loan Bank borrowings is summarized below:

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS
- -------------------------------

         Shareholders' equity is a stable, noninterest bearing source of funds
which provides support for asset growth and is the primary component of capital.
Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $41.6 million,
$36.1 million and $27.6 million, respectively. During 1996, the Bank paid a
$10,000,000 cash dividend to the parent company. The parent company then issued
$10,000,000 in subordinated debt to the Bank. Approval was obtained from the
Officer of the Comptroller of the Currency. Principal is due at maturity,
January 1, 2007, with interest payable at 6.75% on January 1 of each year.

         In April 1993, shareholders voted to increase the authorized common
stock from 1.5 million shares to 3.0 million shares. The Company issued a 6%
stock dividend in June of 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

         The following shows consolidated operating and capital ratios of the
Company for each of the past three years ended December 31:

                     LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
                     ---------------------------------------


LIQUIDITY
- ---------

         Liquidity is measured by the Company's ability to raise funds through
deposits, borrowed funds, capital or cash flow from the repayment of loans.
These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements,
fund loans and operate the Company. Liquidity is achieved through the growth of
core deposits and liquid assets, including securities available for sale,
matured securities and Federal funds sold. Asset and liability management is the
process of managing the balance sheet to achieve a mix of earning assets and
liabilities that maximizes profitability, while providing adequate liquidity.

         The Company's major source of funds is a substantial base of core
funds, defined as core deposits plus shareholders' equity and other liabilities.
The Company supplements core funds by regularly issuing certificates of deposit
and repurchase agreements. The Company also has the ability to borrow money on a
daily basis through correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank to
satisfy short-term liquidity needs. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, the Company
had $8.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively, of unused lines of credit.
During January 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in
the investment by the Bank in the Federal Home Loan Bank from $2.9 million to
$6.0 million. This will increase the Company's available line of credit with the
Federal Home Loan Bank to $36.0 million.

         In addition to normal loan funding and deposit flow, the Company also
needs to maintain liquidity to meet the demands of certain unfunded loan
commitments and standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 1996, the Company
had a total of $122.4 million in unfunded loan commitments and $9.4 million in
unfunded standby letters of credit. Of the total unfunded loan commitments,
$103.1 million were commitments available as lines of credit to be drawn at any
time as customers' cash needs vary, and $19.3 million were for loan commitments
scheduled to close and become funded within the next six months. The Company
monitors fluctuations in balances and manages its overall liquidity, taking into
account these unfunded commitments.

         On a parent company basis, the Company's only source of funds is
dividends paid by the subsidiary Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends
is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations and to prudent and
sound banking principles. The amount of unrestricted retained earnings available
to be paid by the Bank to the Company was approximately $970,000 at December 31,
1996.

INTEREST RATE RISK
- ------------------

         Balance sheet structure and interest rate changes play important roles
in the growth of net interest income. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee
(ALCO) manages the overall rate sensitivity and mix of the balance sheet to
anticipate and minimize the effects of interest rate fluctuations and maintain a
consistent net interest margin. The relative measure of assets and liabilities
that will mature or are scheduled to reprice within various time categories is
known as "GAP." Because the Company has more liabilities than assets repricing
within one year at December 31, 1996, it has a negative GAP and is considered
liability sensitive. In a rising rate environment, this liability surplus would
most likely detract from net interest income. In a declining rate environment,
the effect would most likely be favorable. Experience has shown that this
generalization does not fully capture the true dynamics of interest rate changes
since asset and liability rates do not adjust equally.


         TABLE 12, Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis, shows as of December 31,
1996, assets and liabilities which are maturing at various periods in time and
which will be subject to repricing. A formal asset/liability management analysis
is performed on a monthly basis by Austin Advisors, Inc., a firm specializing in
consulting and providing assistance to banks. This information is presented and
reviewed by the "ALCO" Committee.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Capital Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1996

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capital Holdings,
Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank, N.A. (the
Bank) and CBNA Building Company (CBNA). The Bank operates in the western part of
Lucas County and a portion of the extreme northwest part of Wood County in
northwestern Ohio as a national banking association and focuses on corporate,
executive and professional customers, with the primary emphasis on deposits from
and commercial loans to businesses and professionals. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes
periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company has
defined cash equivalents as due from banks and federal funds sold with a
maturity of three months or less at date of purchase. The carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those
assets' fair values.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND HELD-TO-MATURITY

Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at
the time of purchase. If the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
debt securities to maturity and designates them as held-to-maturity, such
securities are stated at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are
stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax,
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The Company has no
trading securities.

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the
estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest income
from investments. Interest and dividends are included in interest income from
investments. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification
method.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Currently, the Company invests only in on-balance-sheet derivative securities as
part of the overall asset and liability management process. All such securities
owned at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are issued by U. S. Government sponsored
agencies and represent approximately 1.3% and 1.5%, respectively, of total
assets.

LOANS

The Bank grants commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers
primarily in northwest Ohio. Interest on loans is accrued by using the simple
interest method on the principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination and
commitment fees are being deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the
related loans as a yield adjustment.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Inherent to the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles is the use of accounting estimates. These
estimates are used, when uncertainties exist regarding future events, to
determine the balances in asset and liability accounts. Most significantly, the
Bank uses estimates in determining the value of the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit
losses charged to operating expense. Loans are charged off against the allowance
for credit losses when management believes that the collectibility of the
principal is unlikely. The allowance is the estimated amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb potential losses on existing loans that may
become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the composition
and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans, current economic conditions and industry guidelines. While
management believes it uses the best information available to make evaluations,
future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary in
circumstances that differ substantially from assumptions in making the
evaluations.

In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (FAS No. 114), which was
amended by Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures" (FAS No. 118). The Company adopted the
provisions of these new standards at the beginning of fiscal 1995 which had no
effect on the allowance for credit losses.

                                                                               7

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation of bank premises and equipment is determined using straight-line
rates over estimated useful lives.

DEPOSITS

Interest is paid on customers' deposits at varying rates and periods depending
on the extent, if any, of minimum balance and holding period requirements.

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Bank maintains a retirement savings plan for substantially all employees.
Within certain limitations, contributions can be made by participants on a
pre-tax basis, and the Bank may contribute an amount equal to a certain
percentage, as determined annually by the Board of Directors, of the
participants' semi-monthly contributions. The plan provides for discretionary
profit sharing contributions as determined by the Bank's management. Also,
effective January 1, 1995, the Company established a Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan for certain key management employees. Total expense under these
plans in 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $257,000, $220,000 and $234,000,
respectively.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, which were
1,957,091 in 1996, 1,926,883 in 1995 and 1,900,676 in 1994, after giving
retroactive effect to a 6% stock dividend issued during 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable under a stock
option plan (see Note 9).


                                                                               8

2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately $2,354,000 and $1,547,000,
respectively, was restricted due to requirements of the Federal Reserve Board to
maintain certain average reserve balances.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS No. 115). In November of 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (the Guide).
In implementing the Guide, a one time opportunity was available for a company to
reassess its securities classifications and transfer any or all held-to-maturity
securities to available-for-sale. In accordance with the provisions of the
Guide, the Company elected to transfer all of its held-to-maturity securities at
December 28, 1995 to available-for-sale, at fair value of approximately
$67,300,000.

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities:

contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Income tax expense (benefit) related to gains and losses realized on the sale of
securities amounted to approximately ($19,000), $28,000 and $26,000 for 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

9. CAPITAL STOCK

During 1996, 1995 and 1994, a 6% common stock dividend was declared which
resulted in the issuance of common shares totaling 106,324, 99,455 and 93,126,
respectively. An amount equal to the estimated fair value thereof was
transferred from retained earnings to common stock and to capital in excess of
stated value.

The Company established a Directors' Stock Option Plan during 1995 to replace
cash compensation for attendance at monthly board meetings and to provide an
annual retainer for nonemployee directors. Accordingly, during the term of the
Plan, the Company will grant directors options to purchase up to 159,000 common
shares. During 1996 and 1995, 9,805, and 3,180 options, respectively, were
granted at an option price equal to market

value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Each option granted under the
Plan is exercisable after five years from the date of the grant and all options
issued terminate at the earlier of one year following either the discontinuance
of service as a director or a change in control of the Company. Options issued
under the Plan are automatically adjusted for common stock dividends. The Plan
expires July 1, 2005.

The Company also has stock option plans under which 285,248 shares of common
stock may be issued to key employees at prices not less than market value at the
date of grant. The option period is ten years from the date of grant, and no
options are exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the grant. During 1996,
12,814 options were granted to key employees under these plans. Options issued
under these plans are automatically adjusted for common stock dividends. The
plans expire on November 22, 1998 and February 13, 2006.

The following table summarizes stock options activity for 1996, 1995 and 1994:

11. COMMITMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit. Loan commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition in the contract.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. 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.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amount recognized, if any, in the balance sheet. The Bank's maximum
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral, such as
accounts receivable, securities, inventory, property and equipment, is obtained
based on management's credit assessment of the borrower.


                                                                              17

11. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

Fair value of the Bank's off-balance-sheet instruments (commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit) is based on rates currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. At December 31, 1996 and
1995, the rates on existing off-balance-sheet instruments were substantially
equivalent to current market rates, considering the underlying credit standing
of the counterparties.

The Bank's maximum exposure to credit losses for loan commitments and standby
letters of credit outstanding at December 31 was as follows:

12. RETAINED EARNINGS AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

Bank regulatory agencies limit the transfer of assets in the form of dividends,
loans or advances from banks to the parent company. Under such limitations, the
amount available for payment of dividends to the Company without obtaining prior
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency was approximately $973,000 at
January 1, 1997. The Bank's 1997 earnings will also become available for
distribution. Restricted net assets of the Bank amounted to approximately
$29,219,000 or 70% of the Company's consolidated net assets at December 31,
1996.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional
discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the
Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

13. FAIR VALUE STATEMENT OF CONDITION

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (Statement No. 107) requires disclosure of
fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in
the statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate
that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values
are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those
techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the
discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived
fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the
instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all
nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of
the Company.



                                                                              20
