There are 50,653 common shares owned by the Ohio State Financial
Services, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan").
First Bankers Trust Company, N.A., is the Trustee of the Plan.
Under the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the Trustee
votes all of the shares allocated to the accounts of
participants as directed by the participants to whose accounts
such shares have been allocated. With respect to unallocated
shares or allocated shares with respect to which no instructions
have been received, the Plan provides that the Trustee shall
vote such shares in the Trustee's discretion. As of December
31, 1997, no shares had been allocated to Plan participants.
Although the Trustee has general authority to sell assets,
because the Plan provides that the Trustee is to invest
primarily in shares of the issuer, the authority to dispose of
such shares is limited by the Plan.
