common shares of the Corporation from 7,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares,
and to eliminate "par value" from its authorized common shares.  By increasing
the authorized shares of the Corporation,  Management and the Board of
Directors will have greater flexibility in paying future share dividends,
negotiating further expansion opportunities and issuing shares for other proper
corporate purposes.  The elimination of "par value" from the authorized shares
of the Corporation will provide the Corporation with more flexibility in
structuring its equity accounts and in paying future stock dividends.

NOTE C -         STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STANDARDS NO. 122
                 ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS, AN 
                 AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 65

         On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122 (SFAS 122) "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65."  This new standard requires
that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as a separate asset rights to
service mortgage loans for others, however those

                                                                    Page 7 of 21

servicing rights are acquired.  In circumstances where mortgage loans are
originated, separate  asset rights to service mortgage loans are only recorded
when the enterprise intends to sell such loans.  The adoption of this new
statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         On April 15, 1996, the Board of Directors of Mahoning National
Bancorp, Inc. approved a 2 for 1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock
dividend payable on May 15, 1996 to shareholders of record on April 30, 1996,
issuable from the Company's authorized shares.

         The March 31, 1996 financial statements and all share and per share
data contained in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the
effect of the 2 for 1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend.

Earnings Review

         Net income for the first three months of 1996 amounted to $2.792
million or $0.44 per share.  This represents an increase of 20% over net income
earned during the same period in 1995 ($2.327 million or $0.37 per share).

         The primary component of earnings is net interest income.  Net
interest income for the first three months of 1996 was $8.100 million compared
with $7.585 million or a 7% increase from the comparable period in 1995.

         Interest and fees on loans increased $1.086 million in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995.  This increase was the
result of a $31.896 million increase in average loan balances for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to 1995; $469.994 million compared to $438.098.  In
addition the yield of the loan portfolio for the first quarter of 1996 was
8.98% compared to 8.76% for the same period of 1995, a 22 basis point increase.
Interest expense increased $496 thousand for the first quarter of 1996 compared
to the same period in 1995.  This increase in interest expense can be
attributed to time deposit growth as consumers shifted funds from savings
products into the higher yielding time deposits.  The average balances of time
deposits for the first quarter of 1996, increased $27.099 million over the
average balances for the same period in 1995.  The cost of these funds also
increased significantly, from 4.85% for the first quarter of 1995 to 5.52% for
the first quarter of 1996, a 67 basis point increase.  While time deposit costs
for 1996 will be higher than 1995 costs, they should decline throughout the
year as maturing certificates reprice at lower rates.

         For a detailed analysis of the Company's net interest margin, on a tax
equivalent basis, refer to the Summary of Average Balances and Interest Rates;
Item 3 of this report on page 17.

         In January of 1996 the Federal Reserve Bank reduced the discount rate
and Mahoning National lowered its prime lending rate by 25 basis points.  With
this reduction a significant portion of the Company's loan portfolio was
repriced downward immediately, while rates on interest bearing deposits and
borrowings continued to decline more deliberately, with existing certificates
of deposit repricing at lower rates than previously experienced.  While these
developments are expected to increase pressures on the Company's net interest
margin for the
<PAGE>   9
                                                                    Page 9 of 21


remainder of 1996 it is projected that volume increases in the loan portfolio
and deposit pricing strategies will help mitigate those pressures.

         Other operating revenue of $1.663 million, exclusive of security
transactions, increased $249 thousand or 18% over the first three months of
1995 total of $1.414 million.

         The largest component of other operating revenue in the first quarter
of 1996 was service charges on deposit accounts which increased $158 thousand
or 24% over the first quarter of 1995.  Mahoning National annually reviews all
of its fee-based products and services for marketability and profitability.  A
2% growth in the number of checking accounts since March of 1995, accompanied
by adjustments to fees for the Company's products and services and the
strengthening of controls for the collections of such fees are the reasons for
the significant increase.

         Mahoning National Bank's Trust Department generated $602 thousand in
other revenue in the first three months of 1996, an increase of $50 thousand or
9% over the $552 thousand earned in the same period of 1995.  This increase can
be attributed to two factors; an influx of new trust accounts and market value
based fees which increased due to the significant increase in account market
values due to rises in the stock market over the past year.

         In March of 1995 the Company realized a $44 thousand gain when $4.933
million of U.S. Government Securities were sold from the available for sale
portfolio.  There were no security sales in the first three months of 1996.

         Provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 1996 amounted to
$525 thousand compared to $450 thousand for the comparable period in 1995.
This increase is discussed in more detail under the Provision for Loan Loss
heading later in this discussion.

         Other operating expense for the first quarter decreased $4 thousand or
less than 1% from the comparable period in 1995, $5.103 million from $5.107
million.  As a percentage of average assets, other operating expense was 2.79%
for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 2.93% in the same period of 1995.

         In September 1995 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
determined that the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) was fully recapitalized as of the
end of May 1995.  As a result, the FDIC reduced Mahoning National's deposit
insurance premium from $.23 per $100 of deposits to $.04 per $100 of deposits
for the period June 1, 1995 thru December 31, 1995.  Beginning January 1, 1993,
a risk weighted insurance premium schedule was implemented by the FDIC, which
bases assessment rates on capital levels and bank regulator's ratings of the
institution as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA).  For the first six months of 1996 the Company
will not be assessed a deposit insurance premium, which will result in a
savings of approximately $500 thousand over the same period in 1995.  The
premium for the second six months of 1996 is unknown at this time.  Through the
first three months of 1996, Mahoning National's FDIC Insurance totaled $1
thousand compared to $308 thousand for the same time period in 1995.

                                                                   Page 10 of 21


         Salaries and employee benefits expense for the first three months of
1996 increased $76 thousand or 3% from the same period in 1995.  Salary expense
increased $95 thousand or 5% for the first three months of 1996 when compared
to the same period in 1995.  This increase can be attributed to annual merit
salary adjustments which took effect January 1, 1996 and increases in various
employee incentive programs.  Health care expenses for the first three months
of 1996 were $168 thousand compared to $169 thousand for the same period in
1995, a decrease of $1 thousand or 1%.  It is unknown at this time what the
Company's health care renewal rates will be for the plan year beginning July 1,
1996.

         Expenses of premises and fixed assets for the first quarter of 1996
totaled $809 thousand, a 2% increase ($12 thousand) from the first quarter of
1995 total of $797 thousand.

         Net occupancy expense, which represents various facility management
expenses decreased $27 thousand in the first three months of 1996 to $385
thousand from $412 thousand in the same period in 1995.  This decrease was the
result of increased rental income from Main Office tenants.

         Equipment rental, depreciation and maintenance of $424 thousand
increased $39 thousand from the first three months of 1995 as a result of
increased depreciation expense on equipment, furniture and fixtures purchased
in the second half of 1995.  Other expenses, exclusive of the FDIC insurance
assessment, increased $215 thousand in the first quarter of 1996, to $1.637
million from $1.422 million for the same period of 1995, a 15% increase.  This
increase is the result of additional software amortization on software
purchased late in the second quarter of 1995, state franchise tax increases,
increased business activity and the rising costs associated with doing
business.  Overhead expenses, exclusive of FDIC insurance assessments, for 1996
are expected to exceed 1995 expenses by approximately 15% throughout 1996.

         The following annualized ratios reflect the earnings performance for
the first three months of 1996 compared to the same time period of 1995:

Income Taxes

         Income tax expense for the first three months of 1996 amounted to
$1.343 million compared to $1.159 million for the same period in 1995.  Income
tax expense for 1996 is

being accrued at an effective rate of approximately 32.5%, which compares to an
effective tax rate of 31.6% for all of 1995.

         The Statement of Condition includes approximately $2.780 million and
$2.288 million of net deferred tax assets at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995 respectively.  It is management's belief that the Company has adequate
taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset and accordingly no valuation
reserve has been established.

Balance Sheet Analysis

         As of March 31, 1996, total assets of Mahoning National amounted to
$741.616 million, an increase from December 31, 1995 total assets of $720.135
million.  Average assets for the first quarter of 1996 amounted to $734.551
million compared to $706.909 million for the same quarter of 1995, a 4%
increase.  Through the first three months of 1996 total deposits have decreased
by $7.035 million while securities sold under agreement to repurchase and
federal funds purchased have increased by $21.591 million.

Investment Portfolio

         The deposits of Mahoning National, in excess of required reserves and
operating funds of the Bank are invested in loans, investments and federal
funds sold.  The objective of the investment portfolio is to combine liquidity,
earnings, safety and legality of the investment in a prudent manner so as to
protect the depositor, fulfill responsibility to borrowers and to offer a
favorable return to the stockholders.

         At March 31, 1996 the investment portfolio totaled $227.387 million
(net of a $328 thousand unrealized loss on available for sale securities) which
was an increase of $17.300 million from December 31, 1995.

         At March 31, 1996 the Company has classified investment securities
with amortized cost and fair market value of $132.460 and $132.132 million
respectively, or 58% of the portfolio as available for sale,  with the
remainder of the portfolio classified as held to maturity.  Included in the
available for sale portfolio is a multi-step-up callable bond with a book value
of $5.000 million and a market value of $4.997 million.  This bond has a fixed
annual step-up rate and will be called in the second quarter.  The adoption of
SFAS 115 has resulted in a decrease in the carrying amount of investment
securities of $328 thousand with a decrease in stockholders' equity of $213
thousand net of deferred income taxes.  Those securities classified as
available for sale will afford the Company's Asset/Liability Committee the
necessary flexibility to manage the portfolio to meet liquidity needs that may
arise.

         In the first quarter of 1995, $4.933 million of U.S. Government
Securities were sold from the available for sale portfolio and were used to
fund loan demand.  There were no security sales in the first quarter of 1996.
No securities were transferred between categories in the first three months of
1996.

                                                                   Page 12 of 21

Loans

         Total loans outstanding increased by $9.103 million or 2% from
$462.435 million on December 31, 1995, to a historical high of $471.538 million
on March 31, 1996, with a loan to deposit ratio of 83.05%.  This increase is
the result of continued loan demand coupled with an emphasis on business
development by Mahoning National in the consumer and commercial loan areas.
The areas of largest growth over the first three months of 1996 have been; the
Commercial loan portfolio which increased by $3.880 million from $80.299
million to $84.179 million, Consumer loans which increased $3.240 million from
$130.366 million to $133.606 million and Commercial mortgages which increased
$2.245 million from $80.645 million to $82.890 million.

         The Consumer loan portfolio consists mostly of automobile loans;
accordingly any increase or decrease in the portfolio is directly related to
trends in that industry.  The growth in the first quarter of 1996 was the
result of a relatively strong local automobile market along with the Company's
strong commitment to providing efficient service to the local dealer network
and offering competitive rates.  Competition from leasing by captive automobile
finance companies (i.e. GMAC, Ford Motor Credit) will impact future growth and
necessitate a commitment to providing the dealer network with a very high level
of service.  Given the substantial monthly paydowns of the automobile loan
portfolio and a projected slow down in our national economy, growth in consumer
loan totals will likely slow over the remainder of 1996.  While competitive
pressures for commercial loans are presently greater than have been experienced
in the past several years, loan growth continues to be the result of increased
market share by generating new customer relationships.  Substantial resources
are also committed to servicing existing commercial loan customers to protect
against the loss of relationships to competitors.

         As of March 31, 1996, non-performing loans, defined as those loans
which are on non-accrual or are 90 days or more past due and still accruing,
totaled $2.034 million compared to $2.258 million at December 31, 1995.  Listed
below is a schedule of the Company's non-performing assets:

Provision for Loan Losses

         The policies of Mahoning National provide for loan loss reserves to
adequately protect the Company against potential and/or identified loan losses
consistent with sound and prudent banking practice.

         In determining the monthly provision for loan losses and the adequacy
of the loan loss reserve, management reviews the current and forecasted
economic conditions and portfolio trends.  The primary focus is placed on
current problem loans, delinquencies and anticipated charge-offs.  As of March
31, 1996, all loans classified for regulatory purposes do not represent or
result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will
materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.
Management is not aware of any information which causes serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.  These
remaining classified loans were either paying as agreed under original contract
or were sufficiently collateralized to prevent a material loss in the event the
loans were to default.

         The provision for loan losses charged to expense during the first
quarter of 1996 was $525 thousand, an increase of $75 thousand from the 1995
first quarter provision.  This increase was the result of the growth in the
loan portfolio and increase in consumer charge-offs.  Net charge-offs on
consumer loans and credit card and related plans totaled $383 thousand for the
first three months of 1996 compared to $181 thousand for the same period in
1995.  The national trend of a high level of consumer debt and delinquencies is
beginning to show locally.  This trend will continue to be monitored closely
during the year as the Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.  While future provisions to the loan loss reserve are dependent upon
the growth and quality of the loan portfolio, it is estimated that for the
remainder of 1996, quarterly provisions will approximate first quarter levels.

Liquidity and Capital

         It is a primary objective of Mahoning National Bancorp, Inc. to
maintain a level of liquidity deemed adequate to meet the expected and
potential funding needs of loan and deposit customers.  It is the Company's
policy to manage its affairs so that liquidity needs are fully satisfied
through normal bank operations.  Short-term investments (Federal funds sold)
and short-term borrowings (Federal funds purchased and Repurchase agreements,
U.S. Treasury Demand Notes and Federal Home Loan Bank advances) are used as
primary cash management and liquidity tools.  Short term Federal fund lines
totaling $57 million have been established at Mahoning National's correspondent
banks.  When loan demand increases at a faster rate than deposit growth it may
be necessary to manage the available for sale portion of the investment
portfolio to meet that demand, or to sell conforming Residential mortgages on
the secondary market.  At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, $70 thousand
and $0 loans were designated as available for sale respectively.  At March 31,
1996, $132.132 million of the investment portfolio was classified as available
for sale.  This classification will afford the Company's Asset/Liability
Committee the flexibility to manage the portfolio to meet any liquidity needs
that may arise.

         An additional source of liquidity was added when Mahoning National
Bank was accepted as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
(FHLB) in the fourth quarter of 1993.  The FHLB will provide, if needed, short
term funding alternatives with a line of credit of $17.6 million, or the
necessary match funding for one to four family residential mortgage loans and
will allow the Company to better manage its interest rate risk.  Mahoning
National had $4.721 million outstanding in FHLB borrowings at March 31, 1996
compared to $1.302 million at December 31, 1995.

         Total Capital Accounts have grown $1.064 million or 2% in the first
three months of 1996.  This increase reflects retained earnings less dividends
paid and also reflects an $879 thousand unrealized loss on the available for
sale investment portfolio for the first three months of 1996.  Dividends paid
in 1996 year to date were $851 thousand or $.135 per share compared to $693
thousand or $.11 per share for the same period in 1995.  Book value per share
as of March 31, 1996 was $11.22 compared to $11.05 on December 31, 1995, (as
adjusted for two for one stock split).

         In order to facilitate a wider distribution of the common stock of the
Company and to make it more readily available for investment purposes, thereby
broadening investor interest, the Board of Directors of the Company, on April
15, 1996 approved a 2 for 1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend
payable on May 15, 1996 to shareholders of record on April 30, 1996, issuable
from the Company's authorized shares.

         After payment of a 100% stock dividend the Company will have 6,300,000
shares of its 15,000,000 authorized shares of no par value common stock issued
and outstanding.

         On March 19, 1996 at the Annual Shareholders Meeting of Mahoning
National Bancorp, Inc., the shareholders approved increasing the authorized
common shares of the Corporation from 7,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares,
and to eliminate "par value" from its
<PAGE>   16
                                                                   Page 16 of 21

authorized common shares.  By increasing the authorized shares of the
Corporation, Management and the Board of Directors will have greater
flexibility in paying future share dividends, negotiating further expansion
opportunities and issuing shares for other proper corporate purposes.  The
elimination of "par value" from the authorized shares of the Corporation will
provide the Corporation with more flexibility in structuring its equity
accounts and in paying future stock dividends.

         Under regulations issued by the Federal Reserve and the Comptroller of
the Currency, banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain certain
minimum capital ratios known as the risk-based capital ratio and the leverage
ratio.  At March 31, 1996, Mahoning Nationals' leverage, Tier I and risk-based
capital ratios were 9.65%, 15.85% and 17.10% respectively, compared to 9.62%,
15.69% and 16.94% at December 31, 1995.  The Company has exceeded all required
regulatory capital ratios for each period presented and is considered "well
capitalized" under all FDIC regulations.  Mahoning National's risk-based
capital ratios are well above the regulatory minimums due to the capital
strength and low risk nature of Mahoning's balance sheet and off-balance sheet
commitments.  The structure of the Company's balance sheet is such that nearly
all of the investment portfolio is invested in U.S. Government obligations or
other low risk categories, and over 20% of the loan portfolio is invested in
one to four family residential mortgage loans which have a 50% risk weight
assessment.  It is the Company's intent to prudently manage the capital base in
an effort to increase return on equity performance while maintaining necessary
capital requirements and maintaining the FDIC "well capitalized" classification
to ensure the lowest deposit insurance premium assessment.
