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.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Corporation's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

NOTE B--EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The number of shares
used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share was:

March 31,
---------
2001 2000
---- ----
Basic earnings per share 4,297,124 4,295,757
Diluted earnings per share 4,300,353 4,295,757


NOTE C--ACCOUNTING STANDARDS IMPLEMENTED IN 2001

On January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 133 which requires
derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes
in the fair values will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value changes
involving hedges will generally be recorded by offsetting gains and losses on
the hedge and on the hedged items, even if the fair value of the hedged item is
not otherwise recorded. Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2001 did not
have a material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations.

NOTE D - RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts appearing in the December 31, 2000 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE F--BENEFIT PLANS

The Corporation's shareholders adopted a stock option plan in 1997. Under the
terms of this plan, options for up to 420,000 shares of the Corporation's common
stock may be granted to key employees and directors of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries. Stock option plans are used to reward employees and provide them
with an additional equity interest. Options are issued for 10 year periods with
varying vesting periods. The exercise price of the options is determined at the
time of grant by a committee of the Board of Directors and cannot be less than
the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosure for companies that do not adopt a
fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Accordingly,
the following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per common
share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock
option plans. Compensation cost actually recognized for stock options was $-0-
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per common share
for the three months ended March 31 $ .36 $ .34
</TABLE>

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2001. In

Statutory Trust I ("RST") was established in September 2000 for the purpose of
managing the Corporation's junior subordinated debentures.

Reliance Financial Services, N.A. ("Reliance"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
State Bank, provides trust and financial services to customers nationwide.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity relates primarily to the Corporation'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, federal funds
sold, securities available for sale and loans held for sale. These assets are
commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $111 million at March
31, 2001, compared to $109 million at December 31, 2000. Management recognizes
securities may need to be sold in the future to help fund loan demand and,
accordingly, as of March 31, 2001, the entire securities portfolio of $91
million was classified as available for sale. Significant additional off balance
sheet liquidity is available in the form of FHLB advances, unused federal funds
lines from correspondent banks, the Rurban $15 million line of credit and the
national certificate of deposit market.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity net of unearned ESOP shares was $52,057,588 as of
March 31, 2001, an increase of $1,917,402, over the $50,140,186 as of December
31, 2000 and an increase of $7,089,947 over the $44,967,641 as of March 31,
2000. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was a result of
first quarter's net income of $1,594,251, a net $805,502 increase in net
unrealized appreciation on securities available for sale, net of tax; offset by
dividends declared of $521,669.

The Corporation and each of the Corporation's subsidiary banks exceed the
applicable "well capitalized" regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2001.
To supplement regulatory capital, in September 2000, the Corporation issued
$10,000,000 of junior subordinated debt securities which qualify as their 1
capital for regulatory purposes, subject to certain limitations. This additional
capital is intended to position the Corporation to sustain its growth while
continuing to maintain regulatory "well-capitalized" status.

As of March 31, 2001, management is not aware of any current recommendations by
banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would
have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Supplemental Information
- ------------------------

Material Changes in Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------------

Net loans and loans held for sale increased $3 million to $573 million at March
31, 2001. Commercial loans increased $5 million while consumer loans decreased
$1 million. Real estate loans (residential and commercial) changed minimally.
Premises and equipment and other assets combined increased $2.5 million. This
was primarily due to the purchase of the mainframe computer equipment and
related maintenance contract at RDSI.

Deposits increased $19 million during the first three months of 2001 as a result
of competitive rate offerings on standard and special certificate of deposit
(CD) products, targeted direct calling programs and periodic entry into the
national CD market. This deposit increase was offset by decreases in federal
funds purchased of $11 million and advances from FHLB of $1 million.

Material Changes in Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------

Net interest income increased $334,340 (5%) to $6,651,017 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to $6,316,677 for the first quarter of 2000. Both
interest income and interest expense increased during the quarter ended March
31, 2001 compared to the same period of 2000, with interest income increasing
more than interest expense. The increase was due to increases in both earning
assets and deposits and borrowed funds. Noninterest income was $3,237,957 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2,951,233 for the same period in
2000 an increase of $286,724 (10%). The increase in noninterest income was
primarily a result of increases in data service fees and service charges on
deposits.

Noninterest expense increased $467,853 (7%) to $7,021,012 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $6,553,159 for the same period of 2000. Increases in
salaries and benefits and equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance
accounted for the majority of this increase.

The provision for loan losses of $525,000 increased $75,000 (17%) compared to
the first three months of 2000 due to increases in loan balances and increases
in the level of past due, nonperforming and impaired loans.

Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $1,594,251 or $0.37 basic earnings
per share, compared to net income of $1,518,661 or basic earnings per share of
$0.35 in the first quarter of 2000.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

There have been no material changes in the Corporation's quantitative and
qualitative market risks since December 31, 2000. The following table compares
rate sensitive assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2001 to December 31, 2000.

-------- -------- -------- --------
Increase $(16,562) $ 22,234 $ 1,248 $ 6,920
======== ======== ======== ========
</TABLE>

Total rate sensitive assets increased approximately $5.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 due to a $3.1 million increase in gross loans during
the period and a $2.2 million increase in AFS securities. Variable rate
(primarily prime indexed) loans increased $9.9 million and fixed rate loans
increased $3.4 million while adjustable rate (primarily treasury indexed) loans
declined $10.2 million.

Total rate sensitive liabilities increased approximately $6.9 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2001. Certificates of deposit (CD) balances
increased $29.0 million while demand deposits, money market accounts and federal
funds purchased declined by $7.5, $2.6 and $11.2 million, respectively. During
the period, the decline in market interest rates caused many customers to
lengthen the maturity of their certificates of deposit, which accounted for the
majority of the increase in the "Years 2 - 5" category. That lengthening of CD
maturities, combined with the $11.2 million reduction in the short-term federal
funds purchased resulted in the $16.6 million decline in the "First Year"
category.
