Business A. General American Bancorporation ("the Registrant or the Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio on August 10, 1966. The Registrant is engaged in the business of organizing, acquiring and developing a system of affiliate banks and companies engaged in bank related activities. The Registrant presently owns all the capital stock of two commercial banks. The Wheeling National Bank ("WNB") is a national banking association, organized in 1978, and acquired by the Company in 1988. WNB is located in West Virginia and has offices in Wheeling, Weirton, New Martinsville and Pine Grove. WNB employs 117 full time equivalent employees. At December 31, 1994, WNB had total assets of $176.5 million. The Columbus National Bank ("CNB") was formerly known as Quaker City National Bank and was acquired by the Company in 1982. CNB, with its headquarters situated in Franklin County, conducts its operations through offices in St. Clairsville, Flushing, Shadyside, Morristown, Barnesville, Freeport, Cambridge, Quaker City, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Steubenville and Columbus, Ohio. CNB has 89 full time equivalent employees and was chartered as a national bank in 1872. At December 31, 1994, CNB had total assets of $157.9 million. WNB and CNB conduct general commercial banking businesses. Assisting individuals, business and government, the banks provide a full range of depository services including demand, savings and time deposits, negotiable order of withdrawal and money market deposit accounts and lending services including mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. WNB is also authorized to exercise fiduciary powers. In addition to its bank affiliates, the Company has organized four non-bank subsidiaries. The non-bank subsidiaries are authorized to provide various services including: data processing, equipment and real estate leasing, transfer agent services to affiliates and mortgage banking. American Mortgages, Inc., ("AMI") which is located in Wheeling, West Virginia, conducts mortgage banking activities including making and servicing mortgage loans. AMI employs 12 full time equivalent employees. American Bancdata Corporation ("ABD") provides data processing services to the Company and the affiliate banks. ABD employs 5 full time equivalent employees. B. Supervision and Regulation 1. Registrant The activities of the Registrant are governed by the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, the "Act", and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Act requires the submission of bank holding companies to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors. Pursuant to the obligations imposed by the Act, the Registrant files annual and interim reports and such additional information as the Board of Governors may require. Prior approval of the Board of Governors is required for any acquisition by the Registrant of substantially all the assets of any bank, or the ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. As an Ohio bank holding company, the Registrant is not permitted to acquire voting shares of a bank located in another state unless that state has specifically authorized such an acquisition by statute. The Board of Governors, in evaluating a proposed acquisition, is required to examine the effects on competition as well as the public interest to be served. The Registrant is prohibited from acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any business, other than banking or performing services for its subsidiaries, without the prior approval of the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is authorized to approve, among other things, the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any company, the activities of which the Board of Governors has determined to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In making such a determination, the Board of Governors is required to weigh the expected benefit to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, against the risks of possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices. In October, 1988 Ohio's regional interstate banking restrictions ended and reciprocal nationwide banking became permitted, with any state having interstate banking laws paralleling Ohio's. The Riegal-Neal Interstate Banking and Efficiency Act of 1994, Public Law 103-328, provides that, among other things, substantially all state law barriers to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies will be eliminated effective September 29, 1995. The law will also permit interstate branching by banks effective as of June 1, 1997, subject to the ability of states to opt out completely or to set an earlier effective date. The Company anticipates that the effect of the new law may be to increase competition within the market in which the Company operates, although the Company cannot predict the effect to which competition will increase in such markets or the timing of such increase. 2. Banking Affiliate of the Registrant The subsidiary banks have national charters and accordingly, are subject to the National Banking Act and supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the Currency. The subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Areas subject to regulation by Federal authorities include reserves on deposits, interest rates and other terms of deposits, investments, loans, payment of dividends, establishment of branches and other aspects of operations, as well as mergers and the issuance of securities. The banks make loans subject to state usury laws that provide maximum interest rates that may be charged for specific classes of loans. The banks are also subject to a variety of other laws which impose limitations on loans to a single borrower, to insiders, and to others, and to other laws which impose various requirements concerning certain types and classes of loans. Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries; on investments in the stock or other securities thereof and; on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Further, under the Bank Holding Company Act and regulations of the Board of Governors, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale of property or furnishing of services. The Act further requires that any bank controlled by a bank holding company be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. C. Government Monetary Policy and Conditions Affecting the Industry The earnings of commercial banks, and consequently the earnings of the Registrant, are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of money and credit in an effort to prevent recession and restrain inflation. Among the vehicles used to achieve these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and limitations on interest rates which member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These policies are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use also affects interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant impact on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The effect, if any, of such policies upon the future business and earnings of the Registrant cannot be predicted. The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 significantly changed the regulatory environment of financial institutions in the United States. Regulations implementing the 1980 Act included (i) significant changes in reserve requirements and the services provided by the Federal Reserve System; (ii) phased elimination of the regulation limiting the rate of interest payable on savings and time deposits; (iii) validation of NOW accounts, automatic transfer accounts, and share draft accounts; and (iv) significant changes in the types of loans and the nature of the services which thrift institutions can offer to the public. On August 9, 1989, the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") established a mechanism for providing funding for the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") and authorizes the RTC to act as receiver to liquidate savings associations placed in receiverships. It is possible that the activities of RTC could result in a significant reduction in the size of the thrift industry and increased concentration of business of depository institutions in the hands of large depository institutions and holding companies. FIRREA allows both bank and savings and loan holding companies to acquire savings associations. It is also possible that RTC's activities could impact upon the market value of real estate in areas where a large number of savings associations are placed into receivership. In 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was enacted, which among other things, was intended to protect the federal deposit insurance fund by requiring regulators to take specific prompt actions with respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital standards. FDICIA requires Federal regulators to promulgate regulations to implement the law's provisions. Certain of these egulations became effective in 1992, including the adoption by federal regulatory agencies of definitions of the five capital tiers which define the implementing regulation for each institution, while others became effective in 1993. Under FDICIA, new regulations became effective governing the receipt of broker deposits based on the institutions capital rating. Other revisions included specific accounting and reporting requirements and risk-based assessments for FDIC insurance, which are based on the level of risk activities the institution is involved. Some provisions include termination of "too big to fail" doctrine, limitations on FDIC's payment of deposits at foreign branches and revised regulatory standards for, among other things, real estate lending and capital adequacy. D Competition The Registrant's affiliate banks compete in their areas with commercial banks and other financial intermediaries such as saving and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, factors and insurance companies. Competition among banks is generally conducted, in an effort to expand deposits and credits. The principal methods of bank competition are interest rates and services. The subsidiary banks pay interest on deposits and charge rates and fees on loans which are competitive in the general area served. E. Personnel The Registrant, its affiliate banks, and non-banking subsidiaries employed 228 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 1994. F. Miscellaneous Research and development is not a significant portion of the Registrant's business. The Registrant has no foreign operations or income, no material patents, licenses, franchises or concessions, and materials are not essential to its business. Environmental regulations do not materially affect the capital expenditures, income or competitive position of the Registrant. The Registrant's business is not subject to material seasonal fluctuation. The business of the Registrant's affiliate bank is not dependent on any one or a few customers. The Registrant, as a holding company, relies predominately on dividends from its affiliate banks and management fees from its affiliate banks for its working capital requirements.

PROPERTIES The Company and its non-banking subsidiaries conduct business from the Company's administrative headquarters in Wheeling, West Virginia and the Banks conduct business from their various office locations. The net book value of the Company's office facilities, furniture and equipment, including leasehold improvements and property held for future expansion (less accumulated depreciation and amortization) at December 31, 1994 was $8.7 million. The Company does not believe that the termination of any of its leases would have a material effect on its operations. Listed below are the locations of the Company's executive offices and the Bank's branch offices that were operating as of December 31, 1994, as well as proposed branch office locations. All buildings are owned by the Company unless otherwise indicated. Except as noted, the Company believes its property is suitable and adequate for its current and proposed needs.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Registrant and its affiliates are not involved in any material pending legal proceedings outside the normal conduct of business (including proceedings arising from environmental quality statutes) to which the Registrant is a party, or of which its property is the subject, nor are any proceedings known to be contemplated, except as follows. On March 7, 1995, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia entered an Order granting Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment against American Bancorporation Retirement Plan, resolving a dispute concerning the proper earnings formula used to determine the retirement benefits due a former employee of the Registrant and its affiliated subsidiaries. The Registrant has appealed this Order. The Registrant is unable to conclude whether it will prevail on appeal. Accordingly, pending resolution of the appeal, the Registrant has recalculated the benefits for vested Plan participants and determined that an additional $500,000 should be reserved for the Plan's probable additional liability under the grant of Summary Judgment. This amount has been charged to earnings in 1994. See Note Q of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report. PART IV ITEM 14 .
