         MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

______________________________________________________________________________

    The following focuses on the consolidated financial condition of F C Banc 
Corp. at March 31, 1996, compared to December 31, 1995, and the results of 
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same
periods in 1995.  The purpose of this discussion is to provide a better 
understanding of the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the Form 10-QSB.   The Registrant is not aware of any market or 
institutional trend, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably 
likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations 
except as discussed herein.  Other than as discussed herein, the Registrant
is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which 
would have such effect if implemented. 



Financial Condition

Liquidity

    Liquidity relates to the Corporation's ability to meet cash demands of its 
customers and their credit needs.  Liquidity is provided by the Corporation's 
ability to readily convert assets to cash and readily marketable, short-term 
assets such as federal funds sold and deposits in other banks.  

    Cash, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold totaled $6,970,000 at 
March 31, 1996.  Investments and mortgage-backed securities available for sale 
were $36,112,000 at March 31, 1996.  This amount increased by $316,000 from 
December 31, 1995 balances.  These assets, as well as anticipated deposit 
growth d scheduled loan payments and maturing investment securities, provide 
the Corporation with an adequate source of funds for expected future demand for 
loans and for fluctuations in deposit volume.  They also provide management 
with the flexibility to change the composition of interest earning assets as 
market conditions change in the future.


                                 -8-
<PAGE>

    Liability liquidity relates to the Corporation's ability to retain existing 
deposits, obtain new deposits and borrow in the marketplace.  Total deposits 
remained relatively constant decreasing by $48,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996.  The Corporation has experienced some deposit disintermediation 
during the first three months of 1996.  This is evidenced by the reductions 
in demand deposit and NOW account and savings account balances of $1,354,000 
and $655,000 respectively being offset by increases in time accounts balances 
of $2,057,000.  Management anticipates some continued disintermediation with 
total deposits to experience moderate growth or remain stable during the rest 
of the year.

    Access to advances from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in the form of 
Federal Funds Purchased is a supplemental source of cash to meet liquidity 
needs.



Capital Resources

    Shareholders' equity totaled $10,510,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to 
$10,760,000  at December 31, 1995.  This decrease was primarily due to the 
acquisition of 7,796 shares of treasury stock and a net unrealized holding 
loss on securities available-for-sale of $80,000.   As of March 31, 1996, the 
ratio of shareholders' equity to assets was 12.83% compared to 12.86% at
December 31, 1995. 



Regulatory Capital Requirements

    The Corporation complies with the capital requirements established by the 
Federal Reserve System, which bare summarized as follows:

                                                   Capital Position      
                            Regulatory                  as of
                             Minimum       March 31, 1996    December 31, 1995
                                                                               
          
       Tier I                  4.00%           23.72%              22.61%

       Total Risk-             8.00%           22.45%              23.88%
       Based capital

       Tier I             3.00% - 5.00%        12.83%              13.04%
       leverage.....

                                 -9-
<PAGE>

    Under "Prompt Corrective Action" regulations adopted in September 1992, 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has defined five categories 
of capitalization (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, 
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized).  The 
Corporation meets the "Well capitalized" definition, which requires a total 
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 8%.  
Under a current regulatory proposal, interest rate risk would become an 
additional element in measuring risk-based capital.  This proposed change is 
not expected to significantly impact the Corporation's compliance with 
capital guidelines.



Changes in Financial Condition

    Consolidated total assets were $81,908,000 at the end of the current period 
reflecting a decrease of $1,790,000 or 2.14% during the first three months 
of 1996.  This reduction was funded primarily by  the federal funds sold of 
$2,000,000 and payment and maturities in the loan portfolio of $1,548,000.  
Approximately $2,323,000 was utilized to fund security purchases, $1,525,000 
to reduce short-term borrowings, and the remainder to fund treasury stock
acquisitions. 



Investment Portfolio

    The total investments outstanding increased during the first quarter 
primarily due to the allocation of short-term funds in an effort to increase 
yields.  The valuation of the investment portfolio, which is all classified 
as available-for-sale, continues to remain relatively stable as shown by the 
aggregate market value decline for the first quarter of 1996 of $119,000, or 
less than 50 basis points since December 31, 1995.  
    
 
Allowance for Loan Loss

    The allowance for loan losses was established and is maintained by periodic 
charges to the provision for loan loss, an operating expense, in order to 
provide for losses inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio.  Loan losses and 
recoveries are charged or credited respectively to the allowance for loan 
losses as they occur. 
    
    The allowance/provision for loan losses is determined by management by 
considering such factors as the size and character of the loan portfolio, 
loan loss experience, problem loans, and economic conditions in the Bank's 
market area.  The risk associated with the lending operation can be 
minimized by evaluating each loan independently based upon criteria which 
includes, but is not limited to, (a) the purpose of the loan, (b) the credit 
history of the borrower, (c) the borrower's financial standing and trends, 
(d) the market value of the collateral involved, and (e) the downpayment 
received.

    Quarterly reviews of the loan portfolio are conducted to identify problem 
loans and to determine appropriate courses of action on a loan by loan basis. 
Collection policies have been developed to monitor the status of all loans.  
Collection procedures are being activated when a loan becomes past due.

    Current internal loan review procedures provide for the analysis of a 
borrower's operating data, tax returns and financial statement performance 
ratios for all significant commercial loans, regulatory classified loans, 
past due loans and internally identified "watch" loans.  Specifically these 
procedures include; 1) the designation of an individual to function primarily 
as a loan reviewer, 2) placing the loan reviewer under the direct supervision 
of the senior lending officer, 3) utilization of a "loan risk rating system" 
which prioritize the loans to be reviewed, 4) review of all new credits by 
the senior lending officer, 5) revision of the "watch list" with formal
presentation to the Board each quarter, and 6) utilization of the services 
of an outside consulting firm to supplement the review function.

    The entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb any particular 
loan loss.  However, for analytical purposes, the allowance could be allocated 
based upon net historical charge-offs of each type of loan for the last five 
years.  Currently, the losses experienced combined with the type and market 
value of the collateral securing the loan portfolio and the current financial
standing of certain borrowers are the primary factors for the larger percentage 
allocation.  

    Management believes significant factors affecting the allowance are being 
reviewed regularly and that the allowance is adequate to cover potentially 
uncollectible loans as of March 31, 1996.  The Bank has no exposure from 
troubled debt to lesser developed countries. 



Results of Operations - First Quarter 1996 vs First Quarter 1995

    Consolidated net income of $145,000 for the first quarter of 1996 was 88% 
more than the $77,000 recorded for the first quarter of 1995.  Expressed as 
annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity, net 
income for 1996 was 0.76% and 5.59% compared to 0.45% and 3.61% for 1995.  
Earnings per share increased $.21 to $.44 per share for the first quarter
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
                          
    The increased level of net income for the first quarter of 1996 compared 
to the first quarter of 1995, resulted primarily from lower provision for loan 
losses.  This was partially off-set by a $116,000 increase in other expenses 
and the increased income tax provision of $39,000.

    Net  interest income was almost the same for both the first quarter of 
1996 and 1995.  Total interest income decreased by $13,000 and total interest 
expenses decreased by $4,000.  This occurred primarily as a result of decreasing
yields on interest earning assets and the restructuring of the deposit 
portfolio. 


    The decrease in the provision for loan losses is attributed primarily to 
those factors previously discussed above.

    Net occupancy and equipment expenses increased primarily as a result of 
the installation of a new computer system and the physical expansion of the 
Bank's main office facility.
