NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the complete year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

For further information, refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method, and accordingly, will not restate prior period results. SFAS 123(R) requires compensation expense to be recognized for all stock options granted after the date of adoption and for all previously granted stock options that vest after the date of adoption. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation methodology previously utilized for options in the footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The impact of this adoption on financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2006 is not considered material.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted under the Company’s stock option plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had 19,000 nonvested options outstanding and there was $83,160 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these nonvested options. This cost is expected to be recognized monthly on a straight-line basis as each option is vested through December 21, 2010.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense had been measured using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

NOTE D — REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company, The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank”) and The Exchange Bank (“Exchange Bank”) are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators. If undertaken, these actions could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company, State Bank and Exchange Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 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 Company, State Bank and Exchange 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 to average assets (as defined) in the regulations. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company, State Bank and Exchange Bank exceeded all “well-capitalized” requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification to the regulators categorized the State Bank and Exchange Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, State Bank and Exchange Bank must maintain capital ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed State Bank’s or Exchange Bank’s categorization as well capitalized.

The Company’s consolidated, State Bank’s and Exchange Bank’s actual capital amounts (in millions) and ratios, as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are also presented in the following table.

NOTE E — CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE F — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2006, SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” was issued. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” as it relates to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities by requiring that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured by fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 also permits the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. The Company is currently measuring the effects of SFAS No. 156 and looks to adopt it in the fourth quarter of 2006. At this time, the Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have an immaterial impact on the financial position or results of operations of the company.

NOTE G — COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK

As of June 30, 2006, loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaled $78,660,000, standby letters of credit totaled $640,000 and no commercial letters of credit were outstanding.

NOTE H — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. Examples of forward-looking statements include: (a) projections of income or expense, earnings per share, the payments or non-payments of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (b) statements of plans and objectives of the Company or our management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; (c) statements of future economic performance; and (d) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying those statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the competitive environment, and changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting bank holding companies. Additional detailed information concerning a number of important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is available in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the disclosure under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made to reflect unanticipated events.

Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 describes the significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of the Company’s financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, or complex.

Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management’s estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.

The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan’s observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate.

Regardless of the extent of the Company’s analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the subjective nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are also factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company’s evaluation of imprecise risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. To the extent that actual results differ from management’s estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that could adversely impact earnings for future periods.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles — The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line or accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly effect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition. A decrease in earnings resulting from these or other factors could lead to an impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings of future periods.

Impact of Accounting Changes

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Income: Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $714,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a $114,000 net loss, or $(0.02) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005. This quarterly increase in net income was driven by a $903,000 increase in net interest income, a $296,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, and a $628,000 increase in non-interest income, subject to a $614,000 increase in non-interest expense. The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 88.05% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 98.22% for the second quarter of 2005.

Net Interest Income: The Banking Group’s improving asset quality, loan growth, acquisitions and portfolio mix had a positive impact on net interest margin. Net interest margin improved 15 basis points to 3.25% compared to 3.10% in the first quarter of 2005. Net interest income increased $903,000 to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter 2005. Nonperforming assets have decreased $10.2 million from $16.1 million at June 30, 2005 to $5.9 million at June 30, 2006. Average loan balances have increased $80.5 million from $265.5 million for the second quarter of 2005 to $345.9 million for the second quarter of 2006. Of the $80.5 million increase in average loans, $56.1 million was due to the Exchange Bank acquisition, effective as of December 31, 2005, $5.9 million was due to the acquisition of the Lima branches in June 2005, and $18.5 million was due to organic growth within the existing State Bank and Trust loan portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses was $56,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $352,000 for the second quarter of 2005 despite significant growth in loan balances. The lower provision was due in part to the Company’s very low loss experience in the 2006-second quarter, which reflected net recoveries of $33,000. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was (0.04%) annualized. Asset quality continues to strengthen. At quarter end, consolidated non-performing assets, including those of RFCBC (the loan workout subsidiary) and Exchange Bank, were $5.9 million or 1.07% of total assets compared with $16.1 million or 3.57% of total assets for the prior year second quarter.

Non-interest Income: Non-interest income was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared with $4.6 million for the prior year quarter, which represents an increase of $628,000 or 13.53%. RDSI accounted for 30.65% or $193,000 of the growth, and the remainder was derived from customer service fees (up $96,000 or 21.60%), mortgage banking activities (up $62,000) and other non-interest income (up $203,000). In 2005, RDSI contracted ten new client banks for data processing services and eleven new client banks for its item processing business line. Data services fees for the second quarter increased $193,000 or 6.22% from one year-ago levels. Currently only approximately two-thirds of the client banks signed in 2005 have been converted to RDSI’s systems. The increase in customer service fees, mortgage banking activities and other non-interest income is the direct result of the Exchange Bank acquisition. Detail of the $203,000 other non-interest income increase includes a $42,000 gain on the sale of OREO properties and $87,000 in recoveries on Exchange Bank loans charged off prior to the acquisition date.

Non-interest Expense: Non-interest expense was $8.1 million compared with $7.5 million for the 2005-second quarter, up 8.22%. This $614,000 increase was primarily due to the addition of Exchange Bank’s $1.2 million of operating expenses and partially offset by a $550,000 reduction in State Bank’s operating expenses since the acquisition of the Lima branches in the second quarter of 2005. Professional fees associated with loan workouts also decreased $186,000 or 26.13 % from the year-ago quarter.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Income: On a consolidated basis, Rurban Financial Corp had net income of $1.2 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $525,000 or $0.11 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This represents a $711,000 or 135.55% increase in comparison of the six-month periods. Significant changes between the two quarters include a $1.8 million increase in net interest income, a $1.0 million increase in total non-interest income along with a

$1.8 million increase in non-interest expense. The efficiency of the Company improved to 89.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 93.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in earning assets associated with the two acquisitions that the Company completed last year was the primary cause of this improvement.

Net Interest Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net interest income increased $1.8 million to $7.7 million, a 29.88% increase from the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. This increase is the result of a $3.7 million increase in taxable loan interest, a $607,000 increase in taxable securities interest and a $174,000 increase in tax-exempt interest, outpacing the increase in deposit interest expense of $2.3 million. Of the $2.3 million increase in interest expense, deposit interest expense increased by $2.3 million, trust preferred securities interest increased by $323,000 and Retail Repurchase Agreements increased by $247,000, while Federal Home Loan Bank advance interest decreased by $124,000.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses was $302,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $352,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This represents a $50,000 or 14.11% decrease in comparison of the six month periods. The following asset quality ratios as of the end of their respective periods demonstrate the decrease in the provision:


	June 30,			December			June 30,
(dollars in ,000)	2006			31, 2005			2005
Non-performing loans	$	5,479		$	6,270		$	13,453
OREO	$	430		$	2,608		$	2,639
Non-performing assets	$	5,909		$	8,878		$	16,092
Non-performing assets / Total assets		1.07	%		1.67	%		3.57	%
Allowance for loan losses / Total loans		1.23	%		1.44	%		1.92	%
Allowance for loan losses/Non-performing assets		75.1	%		52.9	%		32.4	%

Non-interest Income: Non-interest income was $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Of the $1.0 million increase, RDSI accounted for $258,000 or 25.63%. Customer service fees increased $210,000 and gain on the sales of loans increased $115,000 in the first two quarters of 2006 compared to the first two quarters of 2005. Management attributes these increases to the Exchange Bank and Lima Market branch acquisitions. Other increases include other non-interest income, which increased $289,000. Detail of the $289,000 other non-interest income increase includes a $42,000 gain on the sale of OREO properties and $87,000 in recoveries on Exchange Bank loans charged off prior to the acquisition date, all of which occurred in the second quarter of 2006.

Non-interest Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2006, total non-interest expense was $16.0 million. This represents a $1.8 million increase from the $14.2 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Of this $1.8 million increase, salaries and employee benefits increased $921,000 or 13.67% to $7.7 million at June 30, 2006. Net occupancy expense increased $281,000 to $866,000 and marketing expense increased $205,000 to $369,000 in comparison of the two six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These increases are direct results of the acquisitions made in 2005. Professional fees decreased $185,000 from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $1.0

million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of the decrease in non-performing loans.

Changes in Financial Condition

June 30, 2006 vs. December 31, 2005

At June 30, 2006, total assets were $551.8 million, representing an increase of $21.3 million or 4.02% over December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $32.8 million or 10.03% in loans, while available-for-sale securities decreased $9.4 million during the six month period. The entire securities portfolio of Exchange Bank was liquidated in the first quarter of 2006 and only a portion was reinvested in securities. The remaining portion of the $9.4 million reduction in the securities portfolio was invested in the loan portfolio which, in turn, contributed to the improvement in net interest margin.

From December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006, foreclosed assets held for sale decreased from $2.3 million to $25,000. At quarter end, consolidated non-performing assets, including those of RFCBC (the loan workout subsidiary) and Exchange Bank, were $5.9 million or 1.07% of total assets, compared with $16.1 million or 3.57% of total assets at June 30, 2005. This decrease in non-interest-earning/non-performing assets has also had a positive impact on net interest margin.

At June 30, 2006, liabilities totaled $497.8 million, an increase of $21.7 million since December 31, 2005. Of this increase, significant changes include total deposits which increased $16.2 million (4.19%), Federal Home Loan Bank Advances which increased $8.0 million (17.59%) and repurchase agreements which increased $11.4 million (186.84%). These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $4.6 million in federal funds purchased and a $7.7 million decrease in other liabilities. Of the $16.2 million increase in total deposits, time deposits increased $22.0 million, while demand deposits decreased $3.5 million and savings, interest checking and money market deposits decreased $2.3 million during the period. Of the $7.7 million decrease in other liabilities, $6.5 million is the result of the cash paid to the shareholders of Exchange as part of the acquisition.

Capital Resources

At June 30, 2006, actual capital levels (in millions) and minimum required levels were as follows:


											Minimum Required
						Minimum Required					To Be Well Capitalized
						For Capital					Under Prompt Corrective
	Actual					Adequacy Purposes					Action Regulations
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
Total capital (to risk weighted assets)
Consolidated	$	69.0		18.1	%	$	30.4		8.0	%	$	—		N/A
State Bank		37.9		12.1			25.0		8.0			31.3		10.0
Exchange Bank		7.7		12.9			4.8		8.0			6.0		10.0

The Company, State Bank and Exchange Bank were categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2006.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity relates primarily to the Company’s ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers’ withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest earning deposits in other financial institutions, securities available-for sale and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $141.5 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $152.4 million at December 31, 2005.

The Company’s residential first mortgage portfolio of $91.3 million at June 30, 2006 and $89.1 million at December 31, 2005, which can and has been used to collateralize borrowings, is an additional source of liquidity. Management believes its current liquidity level is sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. At June 30, 2006, all eligible mortgage loans were pledged under a Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) blanket lien.

The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 follows.

The Company experienced positive cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Net cash provided from operating activities was $1.4 million and $2.4 million respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Net cash flow from investing activities was $(32.1) million and $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The changes in net cash from investing activities at June 30, 2006 include loan growth of $33.4 million, available-for-sale securities purchases totaling $12.7 million, the payment to the Exchange shareholders of $6.5 million, which were partially offset by investment security maturities and sales of $20.6 million and the sale of $2.6 million in foreclosed assets. The changes in net cash from investing activities at June 30, 2005 include an increase of $48.6 million from the assumption of net liabilities in the Lima Market branch acquisitions, offset by a $4.4 million increase in the loan portfolio.

Net cash flow from financing activities was $29.4 million and $(25.9) million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The 2006 financing activities include a $27.5 million increase in deposits and a net increase in FHLB advances of $8.0 million, while fed funds purchased decreased $4.6 million during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net FHLB advances decreased $18.0 million and fed funds purchased decreased $7.5 million, while deposits increased $722,000.

Off-Balance-Sheet Borrowing Arrangements:

Significant additional off-balance-sheet liquidity is available in the form of FHLB advances, unused federal funds lines from correspondent banks, and the national certificate of deposit market.

Approximately $76.3 million of the Company’s $91.3 million residential first mortgage loan portfolio qualifies to collateralize FHLB borrowings and was pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements as of June 30, 2006. In addition to residential first mortgage loans, $20.4 million in investment securities are

pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements. Based on the current collateralization requirements of the FHLB, approximately $15.9 million of additional borrowing capacity existed at June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had unused federal funds lines totaling $20.9 million from four correspondent banks. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $20.9 million in federal fund lines. Federal funds borrowed were $0 at June 30, 2006 and $4.6 million at December 31, 2005.

The Company’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2006 were evident in long-term debt obligations, other debt obligations, operating lease obligations and other long-term liabilities. Long-term debt obligations are comprised of FHLB advances of $53.5 million. Other debt obligations are comprised of Trust Preferred Securities of $20.6 million. The operating lease obligation is a lease on the ROC operations building of $99,600 per year and the RDSI-North building of $162,000 per year and the new Northtowne branch of State Bank of $60,000 per year. Other long-term liabilities are comprised of time deposits of $230.6 million.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset liability management involves developing and monitoring strategies to maintain sufficient liquidity, maximize net interest income and minimize the impact that significant fluctuations in market interest rates would have on earnings. The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consists of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans, mortgage-backed securities, and securities available for sale) which are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). With the exception of loans, which are originated and held for sale, all of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading purposes. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. In addition, the Company has limited exposure to commodity prices related to agricultural loans. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant. The Company’s financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. Interest rate risk is the

Company’s primary market risk exposure; to a lesser extent, liquidity risk also impacts market risk exposure.

Interest rate risk is the exposure of a banking institution’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of results and profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risks at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest rate risk management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems, and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risks at prudent levels of consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and asset quality (when appropriate).

The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement on interest rate risk effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for managing interest rate risk, and serves as the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest rate risk management at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active Board of Director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive risk management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest rate risk.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate or long term fixed rates and that those assets are funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income or possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a declining rate environment.

There are several ways an institution can manage interest rate risk including: 1) matching repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or investments; 2) selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; and 3) hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contacts, options on futures contracts, and other such derivative financial instruments can be used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management’s expertise to be effective. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments in the past.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2006. It does not present when these items may actually reprice. For loans receivable, securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the Company’s historical experience of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of loans and mortgage backed securities. For core deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based upon the Company’s historical experience, management’s judgment and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors. The current interest rates for core deposits have been assumed to apply for future periods in this table as the actual interest rates that will need to be paid to maintain these deposits are not currently known. Weighted average variable rates are based upon contractual rates existing at the reporting date.

Increase (decrease)	$	39,481		$	(15,709	)	$	6,168	$	29,940

The above table reflects expected maturities, not expected repricing. The contractual maturities adjusted for anticipated prepayments and anticipated renewals at current interest rates, as shown in the preceding table, are only part of the Company’s interest rate risk profile. Other important factors include the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities (which takes into consideration loan repricing frequency, but not when deposits may be repriced) and the general level and direction of market interest rates. For core deposits, the repricing frequency is assumed to be longer than when such deposits actually reprice. For some rate sensitive liabilities, their repricing frequency is the same as their contractual maturity. For variable rate loans receivable, repricing frequency can be daily or monthly. For adjustable rate loans receivable, repricing can be as frequent as annually for loans whose contractual maturities range from one to thirty years. While increasingly aggressive local market competition in lending rates has pushed loan rates lower, the Company’s increased reliance on non-core funding sources has restricted the Company’s ability to reduce funding rates in concert with declines in lending rates.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by the employment of strategies to assure that desired levels of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice with similar time frames. Such strategies include: 1) loans receivable which are renewed (and repriced) annually, 2) variable rate loans, 3) certificates of deposit with terms from one month to six years and 4) securities available for sale which mature at various times primarily from one through ten years, 5) federal funds borrowings with terms of one day to 90 days, and 6) FHLB borrowings with terms of one day to ten years.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

With the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) of the Company, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that:

Item 5. Other Information

As previously reported, effective March 1, 2006, the Company entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreements with each of Kenneth A. Joyce, Duane L. Sinn, Henry R. Thiemann, Jeffrey D. Sewell and Mark A. Klein (the “SERP Agreements”); an Employment Agreement with Kenneth A. Joyce (the “Employment Agreement”); and Change in Control Agreements with each of Duane L. Sinn, Henry R. Thiemann, Jeffrey D. Sewell and Mark A. Klein (the “Change in Control Agreements”). Mr. Thiemann’s SERP and Change in Control Agreements, as amended, remain subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. The principal terms of the SERP Agreements, Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreements were described in Part III, Item 11. Executive Compensation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

On June 2, 2006, Jeffrey D. Sewell resigned from his positions with Rurban Operations Corp., Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. and Reliance Financial Services, N.A. to accept a job opportunity outside the financial institutions industry. Upon Mr. Sewell’s resignation, his SERP and Change in Control Agreements terminated in accordance with their terms.

During the Company’s second quarterly period ended June 30, 2006, and effective as of March 1, 2006, the Company entered into First Amendments to the SERP Agreements with Kenneth A. Joyce, Duane L. Sinn, Henry R. Theimann and Mark A. Klein; a First Amendment to the Employment Agreement with Kenneth A. Joyce; and First Amendments to the Change in Control Agreements with Duane L. Sinn, Henry R. Thiemann and Mark A. Klein. These First Amendments contain the following technical amendments:

	•		The definition of “Annual Direct Salary” in the SERP Agreements and the Change in Control Agreements is revised to mean the executive officer’s annualized base salary based on the highest base salary in effect for any period during the 36-consecutive-calendar-month period preceding his termination. The prior definition of “Annual Direct Salary” was based on the executive officer’s highest base salary for any calendar month during the preceding 36-month period, multiplied by 12, and the revision was made to reflect that the Company currently has 26 annual pay periods.

	•		The definition of “Good Reason” in the Employment Agreement and the Change in Control Agreements is revised to include a reassignment which requires the executive officer to move his office more than fifty (50) miles from the location of the executive officer’s principal place of business. The prior definition of “Good Reason” included a reassignment element but was tied to a reassignment that required the executive officer to move his office more than fifty (50) miles from the location of the Company’s principal office in Defiance, Ohio.

	•		A new section is added to the SERP Agreements, the Employment Agreement and the Change in Control Agreements which expressly provides that any payments made to the executive officers pursuant to the terms of those agreements, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with the prohibitions and limitations on “golden parachute” payments under the 12 U.S.C. 1828(k) and Part 359 of the FDIC’s regulations
