Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

As a result of the customer intangible impairment charge described in Item 2.06 below, Rurban Financial Corp. (“Rurban”) will report a net loss of $15.61 million, or ($3.21) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2010,  and a net loss of $6.58 million, or ($1.36) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.  This customer intangible impairment charge is in addition to the goodwill impairment charge of $4.68 million which was previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Rurban on March 16, 2011.  After taking into account the goodwill impairment charge, Rurban previously reported a net loss of $14.56 million, or ($3.00) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2010,  and a net loss of $5.53 million, or ($1.14) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Item 2.06.  Material Impairments.

During the course of Rurban’s external audit for the year ended December 31, 2010, Rurban recorded an adjustment identified by the Company’s external auditors related to an impairment of the intangible customer asset at its data and item processing subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. (“RDSI”).  This impairment was caused primarily by the loss of data and item processing customers of RDSI and the resulting decrease in the projected future revenues of RDSI.  As a result of this adjustment, Rurban will record a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2010, to reflect the impairment of the customer intangible at RDSI.

The customer intangible impairment will be charged to Rurban’s earnings for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.  The charge, however, will have no impact on Rurban’s cash, regulatory capital or liquidity.
