Part I

Item 1. Business General

The Corporation

      The registrant, Farmers National Banc Corp. (herein sometimes referred to as the Corporation), is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The only subsidiary is The Farmers National Bank of Canfield, which was acquired March 31, 1983. The Corporation and its subsidiary operate in one industry, domestic banking.

      The Corporation conducts no business activities except for investment in securities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. Bank holding companies are permitted under Regulation Y of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to engage in other activities such as leasing and mortgage banking.

The Bank

      The Bank is a full-service national bank engaged in commercial and retail banking in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties in Ohio. The Bank’s commercial banking services include checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposit accounts, commercial, mortgage and installment loans, home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, night depository, safe deposit boxes, money orders, bank checks, automated teller machines and travelers checks, “E” Bond transactions, utility bill payments, MasterCard and Visa credit cards, brokerage services and other miscellaneous services normally offered by commercial banks.

Supervision and Regulation

      The Corporation is a one bank holding company and is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”). The bank is a national bank and is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), as well as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Changes have developed over the past several years regarding minimum capital requirements for financial institutions. A listing of the minimum requirements for capital and the Corporation’s capital position as of December 31, 2000 are presented in Note L on page 30 of the annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2000 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

      The Corporation is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. This Act restricts the geographic and product range of bank holding companies by defining the types and locations of institutions the holding companies can own or acquire. This act also regulates transactions between the Corporation and the bank and generally prohibits tie-ins between credit and other products and services.

I-2


Table of Contents

Supervision and Regulation (Continued)

      The bank is subject to regulation under the National Banking Act and is periodically examined by the OCC and is subject to the rules and regulations of the FRB. As an insured institution and member of the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”), the bank is also subject to regulation by the FDIC. Establishment of branches is subject to approval of the OCC and geographic limits established by state law. Ohio branch banking law permits a bank having its principal place of business in the State of Ohio to establish branch offices in any county in Ohio without geographic restrictions.

FDICIA

      The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires federal banking agencies to broaden the scope of corrective action taken with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements and to take such actions promptly in order to minimize losses to the FDIC.

      FDICIA established five capital tiers: “well capitalized”; “adequately capitalized”; “undercapitalized”; “significantly undercapitalized”; and “critically undercapitalized” and imposes significant restrictions on the operations of a depository institution that is not in either of the first two of such categories. A depository institution’s capital tier will depend upon the relationship of its capital to various capital measures. A depository institution will be deemed to be “well capitalized” if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure, “adequately capitalized” if it meets each such measure, “undercapitalized” if it is significantly below any such measure and “critically undercapitalized” if it fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in regulations. An institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating or is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices.

      Under regulations adopted under these provisions, for an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. For an institution to be adequately capitalized, it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 4% (or in some cases 3%). Under the regulations, an institution will be deemed to be undercapitalized if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a Tier I leverage ratio of less than 4% (or in some cases 3%). An institution will be deemed to be significantly undercapitalized if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% and will be deemed to be critically undercapitalized if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.

I-3


Table of Contents

Supervision and Regulation (Continued)

      FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making a capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying management fees to any entity that controls the institution if it thereafter would be undercapitalized.

      If an institution becomes undercapitalized, it will be generally restricted from borrowing from the Federal Reserve, increasing its average total assets, making any acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business. An undercapitalized institution must submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal banking agency, which plan must, in the opinion of such agency, be based on realistic assumptions and be “likely to succeed” in restoring the institution’s capital. In connection with the approval of such a plan, the holding company of the institution must guarantee that the institution will comply with the plan, subject to a limitation of liability equal to a portion of the institution’s assets. If an undercapitalized institution fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement such a plan, it will be treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.

      Under FDICIA, bank regulators are directed to require “significantly undercapitalized” institutions, among other things, to restrict business activities, raise capital through a sale of stock, merge with another institution and/or take any other action which the agency determines would better carry out the purposes of FDICIA.

      Within 90 days after an institution is determined to be “critically undercapitalized”, the appropriate federal banking agency must, in most cases, appoint a receiver or conservator for the institution or take such other action as the agency determines would better achieve the purposes of FDICIA. In general, “critically undercapitalized” institutions will be prohibited from paying principal or interest on their subordinated debt and will be subject to other substantial restrictions.

      Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits. Undercapitalized institutions are prohibited from offering interest rates on deposits significantly higher than prevailing rates.

      The provisions of FDICIA governing capital regulations became effective on December 19, 1992. FDICIA also directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded shares (if feasible) and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate.

I-4


Table of Contents

Supervision and Regulation (Continued)

      FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that could affect the operations of the Corporation, including new reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, “truth in savings” provisions, the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days’ prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch, limitations on credit exposure between banks, restrictions on loans to a bank’s insiders and guidelines governing regulatory examinations.

      Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC has developed a transitional risk-based assessment system, under which, beginning on January 1, 1993, the assessment rate for an insured depository institution varied according to its level of risk. An institution’s risk category will depend upon whether the institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized or less than adequately capitalized and whether it is assigned to Subgroup A, B or C. Subgroup A institutions are financially sound institutions with few minor weaknesses; Subgroup B institutions are institutions that demonstrate weaknesses which, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration; and Subgroup C institutions are institutions for which there is a substantial probability that the FDIC will suffer a loss in connection with the institution unless effective action is taken to correct the area of weakness. Based on its capital and supervisory subgroups, each BIF member institution will be assigned an annual FDIC assessment rate per $100 of insured deposits.

INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING LEGISLATION

      The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “IBBEA”) authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic constraint beginning September 29, 1995. Beginning June 1, 1997, the IBBEA also authorizes banks to merge with banks located in another state provided that neither state has “opted out” of interstate branching between September 29, 1994 and May 31, 1997. States also may enact legislation permitting interstate merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997. After acquiring interstate branches through a merger, a bank may establish additional branches in that state at the same locations as any bank involved in the merger could have established branches under state and federal law. In addition, a bank may establish a de novo branch in another state that expressly permits the establishment of such branches. A bank that establishes a de novo interstate branch may thereafter establish additional branches on the same basis as a bank that has established interstate branches through a merger transaction. If a state “opts out” of interstate branching, no bank from another state may establish a branch in that state, whether through a merger or de novo establishment.

GRAHAM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT

      The Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) allows new opportunities for banks, other depository institutions, insurance companies and securities firms to combine to form a single financial services organization to offer customers a broader choice of financial products and services. The GLB Act (which became effective March 11, 2000), authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to oversee all regulatory activities through the financial holding company, while the functional regulation of operating subsidiaries will remain with their primary functional regulator. The GLB Act requires institutions to maintain Community Reinvestment Act ratings of satisfactory or higher in order to engage in any new financial activities. This act also establishes a federal right to privacy of non-public personal information of individual customers.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the registrant or its subsidiary is a party or of which any of its property is subject, except proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Farmers National Banc Corp’s special meeting of shareholders was held on November 9, 2000. All information regarding this meeting was reported in the September 30, 2000 Form 10-Q.

PART II

Item 8. Supplementary Data

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133 (SFAS 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137 which deferred the effective date of SFAS 133 to years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on financial condition and results of operations.

Dear Shareholders,

      The past twelve months was a remarkable period of accomplishment in the history of Farmers National Banc Corp. Total assets grew significantly with the acquisition of Security Financial Corporation; our channels of extending banking services expanded with the introduction of our Internet & Phone Banking products, and we sharply increased our cash dividends to shareholders. Our history has a proven track record of consistent growth along with net operating earnings growing year after year. All indications suggest our goals are appropriate and attainable, and that we continue to be on course.

      Excluding fourth-quarter special charges related to our acquisition of Security Financial Corporation, Farmers enjoyed another year of operating increases. Our acquisition of Security is being accounted for as a “pooling of interests,” therefore it is necessary for us to restate our financial results to reflect those of Farmers and Security together. As a result, our net income for the year was $5.748 million or $0.50 per share, compared to $6.159 million, or $0.55 per share in 1999. The non-recurring merger and restructuring charges affected our net earnings by approximately $0.09 per share. Without these expenses, the Corporation would have reported operating earnings in excess of $6.700 million, or $0.59 per share for 2000.

      We are pleased that our strong operating performance enabled us to sustain the costs of growth. Our performance is especially heartening inasmuch as we haven’t yet tapped the opportunities provided by our merger with Security. This transaction gives us access into Trumbull County with five new offices, highly capable associates, some promising banking and investment services and a customer base that offers potential for additional growth.

      In addition to the financial results and the Security merger, we achieved the following in the past year:

      • We increased our cash dividend by 21 percent from the 1999 payout, for an annual rate of $0.51 per share, and we paid our 25th consecutive annual stock dividend.

      • We introduced new Internet and Phone Banking services for Farmers National’s consumer and small-business customers.

      • We implemented an updated core operating system and customer service platform.

      As our new bank advertising theme line suggests, our management team is committed to “Building a Stronger Bank.” We will do that by introducing new products, refining our service delivery network and making appropriate acquisitions. We are very fortunate to enjoy, as a result of a long track record of success, the financial strength we need to pursue these strategies. Farmers boasts a well-capitalized equity position that ranks us near the top of our peer group. In addition, we have successfully retained a high degree of top banking talent through the years. Among our 10-member senior management team, we offer more than 200 years of banking experience – all with Farmers National Bank. This tradition of strength and experience positions us very well to execute our growth strategies.

“We are very fortunate to enjoy... the financial strength we need.”

      This coming year will truly be a challenge for our management team. With the addition of Security Dollar, Farmers now operates 16 offices in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties and has nearly 300 hundred employees. We are focused on an orderly and successful system conversion and integration process as we continue to build a stronger bank.

      I invite you to read more about our company in the pages that follow, and to join us at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in March. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to updating you on our progress.

      Sincerely,

      /s/ Frank L. Paden

1913- Personal checking accounts first introduced.

1935- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established.

1959- Branching begins with the opening of the Austintown location.

1961- First Certificates of Deposit offered.

1968- Farmers converts to computerized record keeping.

The Year in Review

      Each year, preparing our annual report to shareholders prompts us to objectively review the past 12 months and take inventory of our achievements, performance shortcomings and future plans. We know through our own long-range strategic planning process that each year brings new challenges. Progress is measured against current objectives over a longer period, and then strategies are fine-tuned along the way.

“Farmers National’s earning potential will be enhanced...”

      Our formula for community banking success includes three basic priorities:

      1) Building Shareholder Value

      2) Achieving Asset Growth and Expansion

      3) Diversifying Business Lines.

Building Shareholder Value

      Perhaps the greatest responsibility of any corporate executive is the creation and protection of shareholder value. However, despite the strong earnings reported by many publicly held banking institutions in the past two years, the value of bank stocks has not responded. In fact, investors in most financial institutions, including board members, have sustained a substantial decline in the values of their investments. The growing evidence of flat or single-digit appreciation in financial institution investments, combined with rapidly changing market dynamics, has prompted many community bankers to re-evaluate their strategic options.

      Farmers National Banc Corp.’s common stock has declined in value as well. Yet for the past two years, our directors, officers and employees have remained focused on our short-term and long-term goals and objectives. We have successfully achieved the following:

  Consistently improved net earnings
 
  Consistent asset growth
 
  Prudent risk management
 
  Use of additional funding sources to meet our customers’ loan demands – without compromising asset quality
 
  Higher cash dividends to reward our common stock shareholders.

      Our corporation has a history of reporting consistent annual net income increases. Last year, excluding the one–time cost to complete the Security Financial merger, our core operating earnings rose significantly again. During 2001, Farmers National’s operating earnings potential will be enhanced as a result of benefits of the merger. New opportunities for efficiency improvements have been created, further strengthening Farmers core operating earnings and shareholder value.

      One of our strategic objectives has been to increase annual cash dividends, and the graph below demonstrates our commitment to this priority. In the past five years, we have increased cash dividends by nearly 132 percent, from $0.22 per share in 1996, to $0.51 per share in 2000. This is in addition to paying a 2 percent stock dividend in each of those years.

      Even as we have rewarded our shareholders with these cash and stock dividends, we have also been able to improve on Farmers’ solid capital position, as shown in the graph below.

1996 1997 1998 1999 2000

      In early 2000, we instituted a stock repurchase program. Although this program had to be temporarily suspended because of the “pooling-of-interest” acquisition of Security Dollar Bank, we expect to reactivate the program later this year. We will utilize Farmers’ well-capitalized position to approach the market and repurchase our own shares, which we believe to represent an excellent investment.

Achieving Asset Growth and Expansion

      Following consummation of the Security merger, Farmers National has total assets of $626 million, total loans in excess of $450 million, total deposits of $468 million and will be operating 16 banking offices in three counties. The consistency in asset growth is evidenced by an average growth rate of approximately 6 percent per year over the past five years.

      The Security Dollar merger transaction was the first “total” bank acquisition for our company. When given the window of opportunity to expand our banking market into Trumbull County, our board and senior management team gave total commitment to this transaction.

Four key issues were identified early in our process:

      • There was no overlapping of branches, and therefore no branch closings had to be factored into our analysis.

      • We identified significant potential cost savings through the consolidation of operations and other services that were being outsourced.

      • Our banking philosophies were very similar, with total commitment to ongoing investment in the local communities we serve.

      • We recognized opportunities to share new products and services that one bank offered and the other bank did not offer.

      This expansion will strengthen Farmers National in several ways. For our shareholders, we expect continued performance in total returns. For our customers, we expect to fully expand our menu of products and services to meet both current and future needs. And for our employees, growth and expansion will offer more opportunities to further personal career goals and objectives.

“For our shareholders, we expect continued performance in total returns.”

Diversifying Business Lines

      Years ago, we were told to expect a checkless society. Consultants warned of massive consolidations that would lead to, among other things, the demise of local community banks. Obviously, neither prediction has come to pass. More checks are written today than ever before. And while mergers and acquisitions have decreased the number of community banks, it is clear that the consumer and small businessman will continue to demand the personalized service and accessibility offered by their local bank.

      Nevertheless, two developments have prompted major changes


FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
The Year In Review

in traditional financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 now permits the business of banks, insurance companies and securities institutions to overlap. That, combined with the rapid expansion of technology, particularly the Internet, has set the stage for changes in banking. Since we compete with mutual fund companies, brokerage firms and larger banks for deposit accounts, we need to embrace new technologies that can increase efficiencies and give us access to the same products and services offered by these larger rivals.

“...we will balance technology with high-touch personal service.”

      At Farmers National, we will balance technology with high-touch, personal service that will give us a distinct advantage over no-name, no-face relationships that typically characterize online organizations. During the past year, we successfully implemented an online and telephone banking product, and have been pleased by its results. We also offer ATM and debit cards, credit cards, electronic bill payment and commercial cash management. Our electronic banking products will be expanded to our newly acquired Trumbull County offices shortly after March 31, 2001.

      Through the acquisition of Security Financial, all Farmers’ customers will soon have access to PRIMEVEST Financial Services. PRIMEVEST has been assisting banks with their financial services products since 1984, and offers a broad array of investment products, including mutual funds, stocks and bonds, money market accounts and fixed and variable annuities. PRIMEVEST has been contracted with Security Dollar Bank since 1991. In addition to the product offerings, this service will enable Farmers customers to access life insurance, self-directed IRAs, financial planning, retirement planning, and qualified retirement plans. PRIMEVEST is an experienced brokerage firm located in over 600 financial institutions. (Securities and annuities available through PRIMEVEST are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits, or other obligations, or guarantees of Farmers National Bank and are subject to market risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.)

      In early 2000, PRIMEVEST introduced an online trading solution called e*PRIMEVEST. With all the features of any online trading account, PRIMEVEST is enjoying great success with this enhancement to its product line.

      Be assured, the Board and management of Farmers National Banc Corp. appreciate the continued support and interest of our customers and shareholders. Our company has accomplished a great deal during this past year and we continue to build a solid foundation to meet the challenges of an ever-changing financial services industry.

Management’s Discussion

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

      The following financial review presents an analysis of the assets and liability structure of the Corporation and a discussion of the results of operations for each of the periods presented in this annual report of liquidity, capital and credit quality. Certain statements in this report that relate to Farmers National Banc Corp.’s plans, objectives, or future performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations. Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties.

      Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are interest rates, changes in the mix of the company’s business, competitive pressures, general economic conditions and the risk factors detailed in the company’s other periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

      The Corporation’s net income totaled $5.748 million during 2000, a decrease of 6.67% from $6.159 million for 1999. On a per share basis, net income was $.50 for 2000 as compared to $.55 for 1999 and $.47 for 1998. Common comparative ratios for results of operations include the return on average assets and return on average stockholders equity. For 2000, the return on average equity was 8.37% as compared to 9.62% for 1999 and 8.99% for 1998. The return on average assets was .93% for 2000, 1.05% for 1999 and .96% for 1998.

      The Corporation’s operating earnings, which exclude an after-tax non-recurring item, increased 9.42% to $6.739 million in 2000, compared to $6.159 million in 1999, which increased 16.91% from $5.268 million in 1998. Stated on a per share basis, operating earnings were $.59 per share in 2000, compared to $.55 per share in 1999 and $.47 in 1998. The after-tax non-recurring expense, which amounted to $991 thousand, was merger related expense.

      These results of operations are the direct result of management’s concerted efforts to control expenses and increase interest from our interest-bearing assets. Overall growth in deposits and other funding sources and the use of those funds in the loan portfolio, particularly commercial real estate and indirect installment loans, together with control over the bank’s general expenses have produced these results.

Net Interest Income

      Net interest income, the principal source of the Corporation’s earnings, represents the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. For 2000, net interest income increased $331 thousand or 1.01% over 1999. The increase for 1999 was $1.407 million or 6.08% over 1998. Interest-earning assets averaged $583.112 million during 2000, representing a 5.77% increase over 1999, while 1999 averaged $551.299 million or a 6.37% increase over 1998.

      The Corporation finances its earning assets with a combination of interest-bearing and interest-free funds. The interest-bearing funds are composed of deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Interest paid for the use of these funds is the second factor in the net interest income equation. Interest-free funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders equity, require no interest expense and, therefore, contribute significantly to net interest income.

      The profit margin, or spread, on invested funds is a key performance measure. The Corporation monitors two key performance indicators — net interest spread and net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin represents the overall profit margin: net interest income as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. This performance indicator gives effect to interest earned for all investable funds including the substantial volume of interest-free funds. For 2000 the net interest margin, measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 4.27% in comparison to 4.45% for 1999 and 4.47% for 1998.

      Total interest income was $46.439 million for 2000 as compared to $43.211 million and $42.379 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 7.47% increase in interest income is largely attributed to a $2.147 million or 6.12% increase in income from loans. Average loans increased 6.3% during the past year, but this growth was offset by a slight decline in the overall yield from 8.52% in 1999 to 8.50% in 2000. Income from securities and federal funds sold increased $1.08 million or 13.32%, as a result of an increase in yields in these earning assets.

      Total interest expense amounted to $21.550 million for 2000, representing a 15.53% increase from 1999 while interest expense of $18.653 million for 1999 represents a 3% decrease from $19.228 million reported in 1998. The increase in 2000 is primarily the result of a higher level of interest expense on time deposits and borrowings. The cost of time deposits increased from 5.30% in 1999 to 5.63% in 2000, while borrowing costs rose from 5.60% in 1999 to 6.57% in 2000. Total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to $496.267 million in 2000, compared to $470.127 million in 1999 and $442.567 million in 1998.

Management’s Discussion

 

Other Income

      Total other income increased in 2000 by $442 thousand or 17.33% to $2.992 million, while the $2.550 million reported in 1999 was just slightly less than $2.582 million reported in 1998. Most of this increase is the result of an increase in service charges on deposit products, and commissions from sales of investment and insurance products. Management continues to explore new products and nontraditional banking services that could increase other income in future years.

Other Expenses

      Total other expenses for 2000 increased 13.61% or $2.159 million over 1999 as compared to an increase of 9.08% from 1999 over 1998. Before-tax merger related expenses in 2000 amounted to $1.192 million compared to none in 1999 and 1998. Salaries and employee benefits also increased $625 thousand or 7.59%. This increase is the result of increases in salary rates and increased staffing to handle increased volume of operations of the Bank. Management will continue to closely monitor and keep the increases in other expenses to a minimum.

Income Taxes

      Federal income taxes are computed using the appropriate effective tax rates for each period. The effective tax rates are less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to nontaxable interest and dividend income. The effective federal income tax rate was 32% for the period ending 2000, 30% for 1999 and 31% for 1998.

Market Risk

      Important considerations in asset/liability management are liquidity, the balance between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and the adequacy of capital. Interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those which have yields on rates subject to change within a future time period due to maturity of the instrument or changes in market rates. While liquidity management involves meeting the funds flow requirements of the Corporation, the management of interest rate sensitivity focuses on the structure of these assets and liabilities with respect to maturity and repricing characteristics. Balancing interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities provides a means of tempering fluctuating interest rates and maintaining net interest margins through periods of changing interest rates. The Corporation monitors interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to determine the overall interest rate position over various time frames.

      The Corporation considers the primary market exposure to be interest rate risk. Simulation analysis is used to monitor the Corporation’s exposure to changes in interest rates, and the effect of the change to net interest income. The following table shows the effect on net interest income in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 or 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates:

                       
(In Thousands of Dollars)
 
Changes In Change In % Change
Interest Rate Net Interest In Net
(basis points) Income Interest Income

–200 613 2.52 %
–100 457 1.88 %
100 –830 –3.42 %
200 –1,821 –7.50 %

      The results of this analysis comply with internal limits established by the Corporation. A report on interest rate risk is presented to the Board of Directors and the Asset/Liability Committee on a quarterly basis. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes, nor does it hold derivative financial instruments, and does not plan to purchase these instruments in the near future.

      With the largest amount of interest sensitive assets and liabilities maturing within twelve months, the Corporation monitors this area most closely. The Corporation does not emphasize interest sensitivity analysis beyond this time frame because it believes various unpredictable factors could result in erroneous interpretations. Early withdrawal of deposits, prepayments of loans and loan delinquencies are some of the factors that could have such an effect. In addition, changes in rates on interest sensitive assets and liabilities may not be equal, which could result in a change in net margin.

      Interest rate sensitivity management provides some degree of protection against net interest income volatility. It is not possible or necessarily desirable to attempt to eliminate this risk completely by matching interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Other factors, such as market demand, interest rate outlook, regulatory restraint and strategic planning also have an effect on the desired balance sheet structure.

Liquidity

      The Corporation maintains, in the opinion of management, liquidity sufficient to satisfy depositors’ requirements and meet the credit needs of customers. The Corporation depends on its ability to maintain its market share of deposits as well as acquiring new funds. The Corporation’s ability to attract deposits and borrow funds depends in large measure on its profitability, capitalization and overall financial condition.

      Principal sources of liquidity for the Corporation include assets considered relatively liquid such as short-term investment securities, federal funds sold and cash and due from banks.

      Along with its liquid assets, the Corporation has additional sources of liquidity available which help to insure that adequate funds are available as needed. These other sources include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds and borrowings on approved lines of credit at three major domestic banks. At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had not borrowed against these lines of credit. Management feels that its liquidity position is more than adequate and will continue to monitor the position on a monthly basis. The Corporation

also has additional borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, as well as access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, which provides an additional source of funds. Advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank at December 31, 2000 amounted to $43.575 million.

      Cash flows generated from operating activities decreased 16.38% to $9.109 million in 2000 compared to $10.893 million in 1999. This decrease is a result of a rise in the cash paid to suppliers and employees, which is more fully explained in the Other Expenses section of this report. Cash flows used in investing activities decreased slightly to $30.441 million in 2000 compared to $30.676 million in 1999. Cash flows provided from financing activities decreased to $15.014 million as compared to $27.396 million in 1999. The Corporation experienced a net decrease in deposits of $9.162 million compared to a net increase in 1999 amounting to $6.394 million. This decrease was offset by a $24.639 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. These borrowings were used to fund an increase in the loan portfolio, which grew $20.940 million in 2000.

    Total Loans $ 6,713 $ 11,203 $ 17,916



Loan Portfolio

      Total net loans were $444.596 million at year-end 2000 compared to $425.975 million at year-end 1999. This represents an increase of $18.621 million or 4.37%. Loans comprised 75% of the Bank’s average earning assets in 2000 and 1999. The product mix in the Loan Portfolio shows Commercial Loans comprising 4%, Real Estate Mortgage Loans (Residential and Commercial) 59.3% and Installment Loans to Individuals 36.7% at December 31, 2000 compared with 4.1%, 59.6% and 36.3%, respectively, at December 31, 1999.

      Loans contributed 81.3% of total interest income in 2000 and 82.3% in 1999. Loan yield was 8.50% in 2000, 54 basis points greater than the average rate for total earning assets. Management recognizes that while the Loan Portfolio holds some of the Bank’s highest yielding assets, it is inherently the most risky portfolio. Accordingly, Management attempts to balance credit risk versus return with conservative credit standards. Management has developed and maintains comprehensive underwriting guidelines and a loan review function which monitors credits during and after the approval process. To minimize risks associated with changes in the borrower’s future repayment capacity, the Bank generally requires scheduled periodic principal and interest payments on all types of loans and normally requires collateral.

Management’s Discussion

      Installment Loans to Individuals increased from $156.797 million on December 31, 1999 to $165.266 million on December 31, 2000, representing a 5.4% increase. Management continues to target the automobile dealer network to purchase indirect Installment Loans. Dealer paper was purchased using strict underwriting guidelines with an emphasis on quality. Indirect Loans comprise 83.9% of the Installment Loan Portfolio. Net loan losses on the Installment Loan portfolio were $166 thousand in 2000 as compared to $1.059 million in 1999. When these net loan losses are stated as a percentage of average installment loans outstanding, the Bank improved from .66% in 1999 to .11% in 2000. Recoveries on installment loan losses increased $612 thousand primarily due to a favorable insurance settlement.

      Real Estate Mortgage Loans increased to $267.528 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 4% over 1999. Most of this increase took place in non-residential real estate loans and home equity lines of credit, which increased $6.445 million and $4.275 million respectively. This portfolio consists of $172.554 million of 1-4 family and multi-family residential properties and $94.974 million in non-residential real estate properties, generally made within the Bank’s primary market area. The corporation originated both fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages during 2000. Fixed rate terms are limited to fifteen year terms while adjustable rate products are offered with maturities up to thirty years.

      Commercial Loans at December 31, 2000 increased slightly from year-end 1999 with outstanding balances of $17.916 million. The Bank’s commercial loans are granted to customers within the immediate trade area of the Bank. The mix is diverse, covering a wide range of borrowers and business types. The Bank monitors and controls concentrations within a particular industry or segment of the economy. These loans are made for purposes such as equipment purchases, capital and leasehold improvements, the purchase of inventory, general working capital purposes and small business lines of credit.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

      The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

      (1) The provisions for possible credit losses charged to operating expense is based on management’s judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectability of the existing loan portfolio. Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts charged to operating expenses include previous credit loss experience, the status of past due interest and principal payments, the quality of financial information supplied by loan customers and the general condition of the industries in the community to which loans have been made.

FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

Management’s Discussion

      Provisions charged to operations amounted to $865 thousand in 2000 and $1.81 million in 1999. The balance in the allowance for credit losses is $6.115 million or 1.36% of loans at December 31, 2000. This ratio has increased from the 1.28% reported at December 31, 1996. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased substantially from 292.71% at December 31, 1999 to 458.74% in 2000.

      —

      The allowance for possible credit losses has been allocated according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within the following categories of loans as of the dates indicated:

      The allocation of the allowance as shown in the table above should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in 2001 will occur in the same proportions or that the allocation indicates future charge-off trends. Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount available for future losses that might occur within such categories since the total allowance is a general allowance applicable to the entire portfolio.

Loan Commitments and Lines of Credit

      In the normal course of business, the banking subsidiary has extended various commitments for credit. Commitments for mortgages, revolving lines of credit and letters of credit generally are extended for a period of one month up to one year. Normally no fees are charged on any unused portion. Normally, an annual fee of two percent is charged for the issuance of a letter of credit.

Risk Elements

      The following table sets forth aggregate loans in each of the following categories for the years indicated:

      Management is not aware of any loans not included in the table above where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the current loan repayment terms.

      Nonaccrual loans are loans which are 90 days past due and with respect to which, in Management’s opinion, collection of interest is doubtful. These loans no longer accrue interest and are accounted for on a cash basis. Loans which are 90 days or more past due but continue to accrue interest are loans which, in Management’s opinion, are well secured and are in the process of collection.

Investment Securities

      The investment securities portfolio increased 9.36% or $10.94 million in 2000. Most of this increase was experienced in other securities, which grew $14.418 million. Of this amount, approximately $10 million resulted from a purchase of preferred stock in a U.S. governmental agency that was funded with an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Investments in securities of states and political subdivisions increased slightly to $22.917 million in 2000. The Corporation uses these tax-exempt municipal securities to increase investment yields and as a vehicle to lower our overall income tax rate.

      Our objective in managing the investment portfolio is to preserve and enhance corporate liquidity through investment in short and intermediate term securities which are readily marketable and of the highest credit quality. In general, investment in securities is limited to those funds the bank feels it has in excess of funds used to satisfy loan demand and operating considerations.

      The following table shows the book value of investment securities by type of obligation at the dates indicated:

Deposits

      Deposits represent the Corporation’s principal source of funds. The deposit base consists of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts and other time deposits. During the year, the Corporation’s average total deposits increased slightly from $466.821 million in 1999 to $470.931 million in 2000. A decrease of $6.387 million in time deposits was offset with a $9.898 increase in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits.

Average Deposits

      The following table shows the classification of average deposits for the periods indicated:

                           
(In Thousands of Dollars)
Average Balances
on December 31, 2000 1999 1998



Noninterest-Bearing Demand Deposits $ 46,948 $ 46,349 $ 43,682

Savings Deposits 128,006 123,219 109,719
Time Deposits 217,979 224,366 234,518

Total Average Deposits $ 470,931 $ 466,821 $ 454,113

      The following shows the average rate paid on the following deposit categories for the periods indicated:

                         
Years ended December 31, 2000 1999 1998



Interest-Bearing Demand Deposits 1.65 % 1.64 % 2.10 %
Savings 3.00 % 2.72 % 2.72 %
Time Deposits 5.63 % 5.30 % 5.71 %

      The steady increase in total deposits over the years reflects managements’ efforts to continue to insure the growth of the bank and to maintain a viable banking institution. During 2000, the bank has attracted deposits due to its effort to remain competitive in the local community as to rates paid for all types of deposits particularly in the time deposit area. The bank has been at or near the top in interest rates paid to depositors throughout 2000.

Capital Resources

      The capital management function is a continuous process which consists of providing capital for both the current financial position and the anticipated future growth of the Corporation. Important to this process is internal equity generation, particularly through earnings retention. Internal capital generation is measured as the percent of return on equity multiplied by the percent of earnings retained. The return on average equity was 8.37%, 9.62% and 8.99% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total cash dividends declared in 2000 represented 82.99% of net income as compared to 57.87% in 1999 and 53.93% in 1998. The resulting internal equity growth percentage amounted to 1.59% in 2000 as compared to 4.05% in 1999 and 4.14% in 1998.

      The bank subsidiary, as a national bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Comptroller of the Currency must approve declaration of any dividends in excess of the sum of profits for the current year and retained net profits for the preceding two years (as defined). As of December 31, 2000 the bank subsidiary had $26.55 million not available for distribution to the company as dividends without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. The bank subsidiary is also required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total “risk weighted” assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At December 31, 2000, the bank subsidiary is required to have a minimum Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The bank subsidiary’s actual Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at that date were 15.48% and 16.73% respectively. The bank subsidiary’s leverage ratio at December 31, 2000 was 10.88%.

Audit

      The Company’s internal auditor, who is responsible to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, reviews the results and performance of operating units within the Company for adequacy, effectiveness and reliability of accounting and reporting systems, as well as managerial and operating controls.

      The Company utilizes the services of an internal audit outsourcing firm to assist the internal auditor in developing and implementing a comprehensive internal audit plan and program.

      The Audit Committee consists of four non-employee directors whose duties include: consideration of the adequacy of the internal controls of the Company and the objectivity of financial reporting; inquiry into the number, extent, adequacy and validity of regular and special audits conducted by independent public accountants and the internal auditors; the recommendation to the Board of Directors of independent accountants to conduct the normal annual audit and special purpose audits as may be required; and reporting to the Board of Directors the Committee’s findings and any recommendation for changes in scope, methods or procedures of the auditing functions. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2000.

Compliance

      There are many activities in today’s banking that are subject to compliance regulations. It is a very large task to implement the many requirements of compliance and to determine that all requirements are met. For example, many of the forms used in opening deposit accounts and loan accounts must subscribe to standards of format that ensures that information solicited from customers and information to be disclosed to customers is in conformance with regulations that are designed to protect and to inform the customer.

      It is an ongoing task to absorb the many changes that take place during the course of the year and to implement them in the banking system. To do this, it is necessary to provide training to bank personnel. The training segment of compliance has become extremely important in recent years. Scarcely a month goes by without some form of formal training taking place in our bank.

      From training, compliance objectives follow to monitoring or testing procedures. Monitoring can focus on a broad range of compliance issues and procedures, or it can be applied to limited areas. Often, the extent of monitoring relates to the complexity or length of the regulation. Upon the completion of monitoring projects, areas where training is needed may be revealed. The cycle of training, to monitoring, to training is ever continuing.

      It is our bank’s mission to keep our employees well informed. We urge them to ask questions and to use initiative in becoming informed, as compliance regulations have become very complex. This all translates into efficient and better service for our customers.

Independent Auditors’ Report

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Farmers National Banc Corp. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. We did not audit the consolidated balance sheet of Security Financial Corp., a company acquired during 2000 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests, as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999, as discussed in Note B. Such statements are included in the consolidated financial statements of Farmers National Banc Corp. and reflect total assets of 29% for the year ended December 31, 1999, and total interest income of 28% and 30% for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. These statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for Security Financial Corp. is based solely upon the report of the other auditors. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Farmers National Banc Corp. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principals of Consolidation:

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Farmers’ National Bank of Canfield. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations:

     The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield, operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking services. As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The area served by the Bank is the northeastern region of Ohio and service is provided at seventeen (17) locations.

Estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Securities Available for Sale:

     Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Fair value is based on market price if available. If market price is not available, fair value is based on broker quotations. Deferred income taxes are provided on any unrealized appreciation or decline in value. Such appreciation or decline in value, net of deferred taxes, is reflected as a separate component of stockholders equity. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The company does not utilize a trading account.

Loans:

     Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest income is ordinarily discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest; however, management may elect to continue the accrual when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and the accrued interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year is reversed. When the loan is determined to be uncollectible, interest accrued in prior years and the principal are charged to the allowance for loan losses. This policy applies to the bank’s installment, real estate and commercial loans. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

Loan Origination Fees and Costs:

     Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan.

Impaired Loans:

     Impaired loans are classified according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 114, “Accounting by creditors for impairment of loans”. Under this standard, the reserve for loan losses related to loans that are considered impaired is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate and the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses:

     The allowance for credit losses represents the amounts which, in management’s judgment, are adequate to absorb charge-offs of existing loans which may become uncollectible. The allowance is based on management’s judgment taking into consideration past loss experience, reviews of individual credits, current economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by management at the financial statement date. While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, which may be material, if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the allowances. If additions to the original estimate of the allowance for credit losses are deemed necessary, they will be reported in earnings in the period in which they become reasonably estimable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Premises and Equipment:

      Premises and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method.

Intangibles:

      Purchased intangibles, primarily goodwill and core deposit value, are recorded at cost and amortized over the estimated life. Goodwill is being amortized over 15 years and the core deposit is being amortized over 8 years. Intangible amortization of $97,000 was recorded in 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Income Taxes:

      Income taxes, based on filing a consolidated return with the Company’s subsidiary, are provided for amounts currently due and deferred amounts arising from temporary differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are computed on the liability method as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

Advertising:

      The company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $399 thousand, $417 thousand and $406 thousand, respectively.

Per Share Amounts:

      Earnings per share are based on weighted average shares outstanding. Average shares outstanding, per share amounts and reference to number of shares in notes to consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to stock dividends. Weighted average shares outstanding were 11,442,895 for 2000, 11,299,103 for 1999 and 11,110,852 for 1998.

The adoption had no impact on the company’s net income or stockholders equity. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available for sale securities to be included in other comprehensive income.

Reclassifications:

      The consolidated financial statements for 1999 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for 2000. Such reclassifications had no effect on net results from operations.

      The bank subsidiary is required to maintain noninterest-bearing reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average reserve balance was $12.489 million in 2000 and $11.552 million in 1999.

      The bank subsidiary is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the bank subsidiary has in particular classes of financial instruments.

      The bank subsidiary’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The bank subsidiary uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The bank subsidiary evaluates customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the bank subsidiary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income producing commercial properties.

      Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the bank subsidiary to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

      Most of the bank subsidiary’s business activity is with a diversified customer base located within Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties in Ohio. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are presented in Note D.

NOTE K — STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

      In December 1998, the Board of Directors adopted an incentive stock option plan for the Directors, officers and employees which was approved by stockholders at their annual meeting on March 25, 1999. An aggregate of 375,000 common shares were reserved for future issuance under the plan. The incentive stock options have expiration terms of ten years subject to certain extensions and early terminations. The per share exercise price of an incentive stock option shall be, at a minimum, equal to the fair value of a share of common stock on the date the incentive stock option is granted. At December 31, 2000, no options were outstanding. Stock options exercised in 2000 and 1999 were from the stock option plan of Security Financial Corp., which terminated upon the merger with the company.

      The company accounts for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, under which no compensation cost for stock options is recognized for stock option awards granted at or above fair market value. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As options are granted, the Company has elected to remain on its current method of accounting as described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.123.

NOTE L — REGULATORY MATTERS

      The bank subsidiary, as a national bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Comptroller of the Currency must approve declaration of any dividends in excess of the sum of profits for the current year and retained net profits for the preceding two years (as defined). As of December 31, 2000, the bank subsidiary had $16.26 million of retained earnings available for distribution and $26.55 million not available for distribution to the company as dividends without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

      The bank subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the bank subsidiary’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The bank subsidiary’s 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 bank subsidiary 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 (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that the bank subsidiary meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

      As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the bank subsidiary as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s capital category.

NOTE M — RETIREMENT PLAN

      The company has a qualified 401(k) deferred compensation, noncontributory Retirement Savings Plan. All employees of the bank who have completed at least one year of service and meet certain other eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in the plan. Under the terms of the Plan, employees may voluntarily defer a portion of their annual compensation, not to exceed 15%, pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The company matches a percentage of the participants’ voluntary contributions up to 6% of gross wages.

      In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the company may make an additional profit sharing contribution to the plan. Total contributions were $386 thousand, $362 thousand and $304 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These contributions include the cost of Security Dollar Bank’s retirement plan, which is in the process of being merged into the company’s plan.

NOTE O — DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE
OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at December 31, 2000:

Cash and cash equivalents:

      The carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Long-term interest bearing deposits:

      The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities:

      The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans:

      For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as credit card receivables, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposits:

      The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements:

      The carrying amount for securities sold under repurchase agreements approximates their fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances:

      The fair values of the advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest:

      The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written:

      The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

      After twenty-five years of dedicated and insightful service, Richard L. Calvin will retire from his position as Director and Vice Chairman of Farmers National Banc Corp. Mr. Calvin had been employed with the bank since 1961, retiring in March 1997 after thirty-five years of service to the corporation. At that time, he remained on the Board serving until this year’s Annual Meeting. Taking all into consideration, Mr. Calvin has given a total of forty years to our company.

      Richard has served on a variety of community organizations and in leadership roles throughout his tenure as a bank official. It would be hard to overstate his importance to Farmers National Bank as well as the local community. He has been an excellent mentor. We are grateful for all his contributions and his thoughtful guidance will be greatly missed by all. On behalf of the directors, officers and employees of Farmers, we wish Richard and Corrine the best of luck and good health for the future.

CANFIELD, OHIO 44406 PROXY STATEMENT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS MARCH 29, 2001 Farmers National Banc Corp., herein referred to as "Farmers" or the "Corporation" is furnishing this Proxy Statement to its shareholders in connection with the solicitation, by order of the Board of Directors of Farmers, of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, March 29, 2001 at 3:30 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, at Colonial Catering, 429 Lisbon Street, Canfield, Ohio 44406, and at any adjournments thereof. The Corporation is a one-bank holding company of which The Farmers National Bank of Canfield is the wholly owned subsidiary. The cost for solicitation of proxies will be borne by Farmers. Brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries may be requested to forward soliciting material to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. Farmers will, upon request, reimburse brokerage firms, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the execution of proxies and for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to their principals. The proxy statement and the form of proxy are being mailed on March 8, 2001 or as soon thereafter as practicable to all shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In addition to use of mails, proxies may be solicited by officers, directors, and employees of Farmers by personal interview, telephone and telegraph. The 2000 Annual Report, including the required audited financial statements of the Corporation and related financial information, is enclosed with this proxy soliciting material. VOTING RIGHTS Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 2, 2001 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. As of February 2, 2001, Farmers had issued and outstanding 11,604,252 shares of common stock with no par value held by approximately 3,585 holders of record eligible to vote. Each outstanding share entitles the recordholder to one vote. The number of shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. It is important that your stock be represented at the meeting, regardless of the number of shares you may own. We would appreciate your signing and returning the enclosed proxy. The shares represented by each proxy, which is properly executed and returned to Farmers, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such 4 proxy. If no instructions are indicated, shares represented by proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of each of the Directors as described herein under Proposal 1, "FOR" the amendment to Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation under Proposal 2, and "FOR" the amendment to Article III of the Code of Regulations under Proposal 3. The proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise, by delivering notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Treasurer of the Corporation at any time before the proxy is voted. Shareholders who attend the meeting in person may vote their stock even though they may have sent in a proxy. No officer or employee of Farmers may be named as a proxy. If you received two or more proxy forms because of a difference in addresses or registration of shareholdings, each should be executed and returned in order to assure a complete tabulation of shares. The Corporation will appoint two officers to act as inspectors for the purpose of tabulating the votes cast by proxy. Broker non-votes and abstentions are not treated as votes cast for purposes of any of the matters to be voted on at the meeting. The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the 2000 Annual Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters should come before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote upon them in accordance with their best judgment. PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Pursuant to the Code of Regulations, the authorized number of directors has been set at eight (8). The Board of Directors has nominated the eight (8) persons named below to serve as directors in accordance with the proposal. If Proposal No. 3 is approved, two (2) nominees will be elected as Class I Directors to serve an initial term of one (1) year, three (3) nominees will be elected as Class II Directors to serve an initial term of two (2) years, and three (3) nominees will be elected as Class III Directors to serve an initial term of three (3) years (or, in all cases, until their successors have been duly elected and qualified). Assuming Proposal No. 3 is approved, after this year's election, election of directors will be for three (3) year terms. If Proposal No. 3 is not adopted, each director will serve for one (1) year or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The class in which each director is designated is identified below. Each of the nominees, with the exception of Mr. Ralph D. Macali, is presently a member of the Board of Directors and has consented to serve another term as director if re-elected. If any of the nominees should be unavailable to serve for any reason (which is not anticipated), the Board of Directors may designate a substitute nominee or nominees (in which case the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote all valid proxy cards for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees), allow the vacancy or vacancies to remain open until a suitable candidate or candidates are located, or approve a resolution that provides for a lesser number of directors. It is presently anticipated that each person elected as a director of the Corporation at the annual meeting will be elected by the Corporation as a director of the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Farmers National Bank of Canfield. 5 The eight nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors.

(B) Mr. Macali is the Nominee made by the current Board of Directors; should he be elected, he will be serving his first directorship term. PROPOSAL NO. 2: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE IV OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation presently authorize 12,500,000 shares, without par value. The Corporation's Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution proposing and declaring it advisable that Article IV of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") be amended in order to increase the authorized number of shares of the Corporation 7 to 25,000,000 shares, without par value ("Common Shares"), and recommending to the shareholders of the Corporation the approval of the proposed amendment. Of the Corporation's presently authorized 12,500,000 Common Shares, as of December 31, 2000, 11,604,252 shares were outstanding. The Board of Directors believes that it is desirable and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders to increase the number of Common Shares the Corporation is authorized to issue. This will ensure that the Corporation will have a sufficient number of authorized Common Shares available in the future to provide it with the desired flexibility necessary to meet its business needs. If this proposal is approved by the shareholders, the additional Common Shares will be available for a variety of corporate purposes, including for example, the declaration and payment of share dividends to the Corporation's shareholders; issuance of shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan; share splits; use in the financing of expansion or future acquisitions; issuance pursuant to the terms of employee benefit plans; and use in other possible future transactions of a currently undetermined nature. If the proposed amendment were adopted, the Corporation would be permitted to issue the additional authorized Common Shares without further shareholder approval, except to the extent otherwise required by the Articles, by law or by any securities exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed at the time. The authorization of additional Common Shares will enable the Corporation, as the need may arise, to take timely advantage of market conditions and the availability of favorable opportunities without the delay and expense associated with the holding of a special meeting of its shareholders. It is the belief of the Board of Directors that the delay necessary for shareholder approval of a specific issuance could be detrimental to the Corporation and its shareholders. The Board of Directors does not intend to issue any Common Shares except on terms that the Board deems to be in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. Depending on the terms, the issuance of the Common Shares may have a dilutive effect on the Corporation's then-existing shareholders. Other than the Common Shares that may be acquired pursuant to the Corporation's existing Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Stock Option Plan, the Corporation presently has no plans, agreements or understandings to issue any of the newly authorized Common Shares. Authorized Common Shares, not yet issued can be used by the Board of Directors to block a change of control of the Corporation. During a hostile takeover (a change of control not supported by the Board of Directors) the Board of Directors could issue an amount of additional shares to those shareholders not in support of the hostile takeover sufficient in number to effectively block the change of control. This could occur even though the holders of a majority of the Common Shares were in support of the change in control. The authorized but unissued shares vest in the Board of Directors the ability to better control an attempt to change control of the Corporation. If the amendment is approved, it will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Corporation's Articles with the Ohio Secretary 8 of State, which is expected to be accomplished as promptly as practicable after such approval is obtained. ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF TWO THIRDS (2/3) OF THE COMMON SHARES. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT. PROPOSAL NO. 3: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE III OF THE CODE OF REGULATIONS AMENDING THE PROCEDURES FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING THE ADOPTION OF A CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a resolution proposing and declaring it advisable that Article III of the Code of Regulations be amended in its entirety and recommends that you vote for the proposal to amend Article III of the Code of Regulations. The complete text of the proposed amendment to Article III is set forth in Exhibit "A" to this Proxy Statement. The following discussions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Amended Article III. Article III of the Code of Regulations presently provides that a director's term of office shall continue until the annual meeting next succeeding their election and until their successors are elected and qualified. The proposed Article III provides for a classified Board of Directors. A classified Board of Directors would operate to divide the Board into three (3) separate classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, to serve a three (3) year term or until their successors are duly elected and qualified with each class being elected at different annual shareholder meetings. If this amendment to Article III of the Code of Regulations is approved, Class I will consist of two (2) directors who will serve for an initial term of one (1) year, Class II will consist of three (3) directors who will serve for an initial term of two (2) years, and Class III will consist of three (3) directors who will serve for an initial term of three (3) years. At each annual meeting after 2001, directors will be elected to succeed those whose terms then expire and each newly elected director will serve for a three (3) year term. The proposed Article III would replace the prior system of electing all of the directors annually for one (1) year terms. A classified Board would extend the time it would take for a majority shareholder to obtain control of the Board of Directors, thereby limiting such abusive takeover tactics such as two-tiered tender offers. Assuming each class of directors is equal in size, a majority shareholder could not obtain control of the Board until the second annual shareholders' meeting after it acquired a majority of 9 the voting stock. During this time, the Board of Directors would have a better opportunity to negotiate with a majority shareholder to obtain a more favorable price and terms in any merger or tender offer. The classified Board of Directors could inhibit a change of control even though the holders of a majority of the Common Shares are in favor of such transaction Article III of the Code of Regulations presently provides that the number of directors of the corporation shall be eight (8) and that the number of directors may be changed by a majority vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. The proposed amended Article III provides that the number of directors shall be not less than five (5), nor more than twenty-five (25), and that the exact number shall be determined from time to time by a two-thirds majority vote of the whole Board of Directors. The exact number shall be eight (8) unless otherwise determined. This term makes effective the classification of the Board of Directors in that no majority shareholder can change the number of directors at their discretion. If the number of directors constituting the Board is increased or decreased, the resulting number of directors will be apportioned among the three (3) classes so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible, except that the term of any incumbent director may not be shortened. Article III of the Code of Regulations does not presently provide the procedures for nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors. The proposed Article III prescribes the procedures under which a person is nominated for election to the Board of Directors. Specifically, individuals may be nominated at a meeting of the shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Nominations made by shareholders must comply strictly with the provisions of the proposed Article III. Those provisions provide that timely notice of such nomination must be provided to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be considered timely, a shareholder notice must be delivered not less than ninety (90), nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the shareholder meeting at which the nominee may be elected to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that in the event that less than ninety (90) days notice of the meeting is provided to shareholders, timely notice must be delivered no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day following the date public disclosure of the meeting was made. A shareholder's timely notice to the Secretary shall set forth the name, age, business address and residence address of the nominee, principle occupation or employment history of the nominee for the past five (5) years, and the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are directly and beneficially owned by such nominee; and, as to the shareholder providing such notice, the name and record address of the shareholder and the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are directly and beneficially owned by such shareholder. Additional information may be required by the Corporation. These nominating procedures afford the Board of Directors the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Board, the opportunity to inform shareholders about the merits of such qualifications. The provisions contained in the proposed Article III do not give the Board of Directors any power to approve or disapprove of shareholder nominations for election of directors, 10 although it may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors if the procedures established by it are not followed. The provisions may also discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors. For these reasons, the Board of Directors believes that the nomination procedure contained in the proposed Article III may have an anti-takeover effect. Article III of the Code of Regulations presently provides that vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, are required to be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board, although less than a quorum, and each person so elected serves as a director until a successor is elected by the shareholders. The proposed Article III provides that any vacancies in the Board shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors and such director shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the directorship. If the vacancy is created through an increase in the number of directors, the Board of Directors shall also determine the class of such directorship. Article III of the Code of Regulations does not presently provide the procedures for the removal of directors and therefore directors can be removed for any reason. Required to make the classified Board of Directors effective is a provision mandating removal of a director only for cause. The proposed Article III provides that directors shall only be removed with a showing of cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the voting stock of the Corporation. Currently, a potential acquirer or majority shareholder could remove all of the directors at a meeting of shareholders and install its own slate of directors, thus gaining full control of the Board of Directors. Approval of the proposed Article III will require a potential acquirer to demonstrate cause as to why such directors should be removed, and shall further require such acquirer to gain approval of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the voting stock of the Corporation. The Board believes that the threat of its removal would significantly weaken its bargaining strength in the event of an unwanted solicitation of the Corporation. The directors would be deprived of the time necessary to effectively evaluate any given proposal, to study alternatives to that proposal, and to make adequate and informed recommendations to the shareholders. The effect of this provision is to make removal of the directors more difficult. The provision may also have the effect of making takeover and changing control of the Corporation more difficult. Additionally, the provision may have an adverse effect on the willingness of large shareholders to purchase shares of the Corporation. The proposed Article III further provides that amendments to such Article eliminating the classified Board requires a 66 2/3% favorable vote of the shareholders. 11 Since directors will be serving for longer terms which expire at different times, and may be removed only for cause by a supermajority vote of shareholders, the Board of Directors believes that a classified Board will promote continuity of management and, thereby enhance the ability of the Corporation to carry out long-range plans and goals for its benefit and the benefit of its shareholders. Although the Corporation has not experienced difficulties in the past in maintaining continuity of the Board and management, the Board of Directors believes that a classified Board will assist the Corporation in maintaining this continuity of management into the future. Additionally, the classified Board has certain anti-takeover effects that the Board believes will deter unsolicited takeover attempts and protect the value of each shareholder's investment in the Corporation. The effect of the proposed Article III may be to discourage tender offers and proxy contests and could deprive shareholders of the opportunity to participate in such occurrences if they so desire. The proposed Article III could also have the effect of discouraging accumulation of a substantial number of shares by any person or entity that would tend to reduce temporary fluctuations of the price of shares and potentially deprive shareholders of the ability to sell shares at temporarily inflated prices. By impeding the ability of shareholders to remove the directors, the shareholders may be deprived of the ability to participate in tender offers and proxy contests if they so desire, at the expense of protecting the Board and management. Conversely, the proposal will vest the Board with the ability to negotiate with a potential suitor without feeling the pressure that it will be removed if it does not react quickly to the tender offer or proxy contest. ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE III OF THE CODE OF REGULATIONS REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE CORPORATION. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT. ANTI-TAKEOVER AFFECTS. The amendments contained in the proposed amendments to Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation and Article III of the Code of Regulations, including, issuing stock to friendly shareholders, controlling the number of directors, the nominating procedures for directors, classifying the Board of Directors, filling directorship vacancies and removing directors for cause may render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control of the Corporation by a holder of a large block of the Corporation's stock or other person or the removal of incumbent management, even if such actions may be beneficial to the Corporation's shareholders generally, or may be supported by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock. The proposed amendments to Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation or to Article III of the Code of Regulations is not in response to any effort, of which the Corporation is aware, to accumulate the common stock or to obtain control of the Corporation. The Board of Directors has observed the relatively common use 12 of certain takeover tactics in recent years, including the accumulation of substantial common stock positions as a prelude to a threatened takeover or a corporate restructuring, including proxy fights in partial tender offers and the related use of two tier pricing. The Board of Directors believes that the use of these tactics can place undue pressure on a Corporation's Board of Directors and shareholders to act hastily and on incomplete information, and, therefore, can be highly disruptive to the Corporation as well as result in unfair differences in treatment of shareholders who act immediately in response to an announcement of takeover activity and those who choose to act later, if at all. The provisions contained in the proposed Article III may have the effect of deterring or frustrating certain types of future takeover attempts that may not be approved by the incumbent Board of Directors, but that the holders of the majority of the shares of common stock may deem to be in their best interest or in which some or all of the shareholders may receive a substantial premium over prevailing market prices for their stock. By having the effect of discouraging takeover attempts, the proposed Article III also could have the incidental effect of inhibiting certain changes in management (some or all of the members of which might be replaced in the course of a change of control) and also the temporary fluctuations in the market price of the common stock that often result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. The Board of Directors recognizes that a takeover might in some circumstances be beneficial to some or all of the Corporation's shareholders, but, nevertheless, believes that the shareholders as a whole will benefit from the adoption of the proposed Article III. The complete text of the proposed Article III is set forth in Exhibit A. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership as of December 31, 2000, of the Corporation's common shares of each Director and all Executive Officers as a group.
Name Aggregate Number of Shares Percent of Outstanding Beneficially Owned (A) Shares - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin R. Brown 52,642 .45% Joseph D. Lane 8,579 .07%
13 Ralph D. Macali 81,596 .70% David C. Myers 52,607 .45% Edward A. Ort 15,970 .14% Frank L. Paden 20,531 .18% William D. Stewart 58,619 .51% Ronald V. Wertz 78,204 .67% Executive Officers as a Group 28,854(B) .25% All Directors and Executive Officers as a Group 377,071 3.25%
(A) Information relating to beneficial ownership is based upon information available to Farmers and uses "Beneficial Ownership" concepts set forth in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under such rules, Beneficial Ownership includes those shares over which an individual has sole or shared voting, and/or investment powers such as beneficial interest of a spouse, minor children, or other relatives living in the home of the named individual, trusts, estates and certain affiliated companies. (B) Includes 20,531 shares held by Frank L. Paden, President and CEO of Farmers National Bank of Canfield and President and Secretary of the Corporation. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Corporation's Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Corporation's equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Corporation. Officers, Directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Corporation's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Corporation and written representations that no other reports were required, during 2000, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, Directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with. COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS During 2000, the Board of Directors of the Corporation held twelve regular monthly meetings and five special meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the respective committees on which they serve. Members of the Board of Directors receive $500 for each board meeting they attend, and $300 for each committee meeting they attend with the exception of Mr. Paden who does not receive any compensation for committee meetings. 14 At the Director's organizational meeting, held immediately following the last Annual Shareholders Meeting of the Farmers National Banc Corp, held on March 30, 2000, the following committees were appointed by the President & Secretary: The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee consisting of Messrs.

The Audit Committee received a letter from its' external auditor containing the disclosures required by the Independence Standard Board (ISB) Standard No. 1, and had discussion with the auditor regarding the auditor's independence. The Audit Committee is governed by an audit charter that has been approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has a Discount Loan Committee consisting of all the directors. The function of this committee is to review all loans made during the previous week and to approve any new loan applications or loan commitments which are greater than the lending limits of specific loan officers or the Executive Loan Committee. This committee meets on a regular weekly basis with three members of the bank's Executive Loan Committee. The Board of Directors has a Building Committee consisting of all the directors. The function of this committee is to oversee site selection for new offices, remodeling projects and any other modifications to the Corporation's buildings. This committee did not meet in 2000. The Board of Directors has a Long Range and Strategic Planning Committee consisting of all the directors. This committee is responsible for the formulation and implementation of the Corporation's long range Strategic Plan and short term Business Plan. This committee did not meet in 2000. The Board of Directors has a Risk Management and Insurance Committee consisting of Messrs. Wertz, Brown, Calvin and EVP/CFO Culp. The function of this committee is to annually review all insurance protection and coverage maintained by the corporation. This committee met once in 2000. The Board of Directors has an Executive Compensation and Employees Salary Committee consisting of Messrs. Brown, Calvin, Lane, Myers, Ort, Stewart and Wertz. During 2000, this Compensation Committee met once.

The Compensation Committee also administers the Farmers National Banc Corp. 1999 Stock Option Plan. 15 The Board of Directors has a Nominating Committee consisting of all the directors. During 2000, the Nominating Committee met twice. This committee is responsible for selecting and recommending to the Board of Directors with respect to: (a) nominees for election at the Annual Meeting of the shareholders; (b) nominees to fill Board vacancies; and (c) the composition of membership of the various other standing board committees. The Nominating Committee will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders provided these nominations are in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Corporation's Code of Regulations. NOTE: THE ABOVE COMMITTEES ARE COMMITTEES OF THE FARMERS NATIONAL BANK OF CANFIELD (THE BANK), A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. CURRENTLY, THE MEMBERS OF FARMERS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALSO SERVE AS THE DIRECTORS OF THE BANK, AND ATTEND BOARD MEETINGS FOR BOTH FARMERS AND THE BANK. ALTHOUGH THESE MEETINGS ARE CONDUCTED SEPARATELY ON THE SAME DAY, A MEMBER RECEIVES COMPENSATION (WHICH IS PAID BY FARMERS) FOR ONLY ONE MEETING, CONSEQUENTLY, MEMBERS ATTENDING A MEETING OF THE BOARDS OF BOTH FARMERS AND THE BANK ON A SINGLE DAY ARE CREDITED WITH ONE BOARD MEETING FOR ATTENDANCE AND COMPENSATION PURPOSES. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
Name and Principal Position Year Annual Salary 401(k) All Other and Director Corporation Compensation Fees(a) Contribution(b) (c) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frank L. Paden, President & CEO 2000 144,495 11,680 715 1999 124,426 9,377 686 1998 118,917 7,975 383
(a) The amount of Director Fees included in this annual amount is as follows: Paden ($9,500, $10,300 and $9,300). (b) In May, 1996, the Corporation adopted a 401(k) Profit Sharing Retirement Savings Plan. All employees of the Bank who have completed at least one year of service and meet certain other eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, employees may voluntarily defer a portion of their annual compensation, not to exceed 15%, pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Bank matches a percentage of the participants' voluntary contributions up to 6% of gross wages. In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Bank may make an additional profit sharing contribution to the Plan. The Bank's contributions are subject to a vesting schedule and the Plan meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and Department of Labor Regulations under ERISA. (c) Amounts represent cost of group term life insurance and other benefits. 16 Listed is the total compensation paid by the Corporation's subsidiary, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield during the latest fiscal year to the named person(s) for services in all capacities, specifically setting forth the direct compensation to the President & CEO. No other executive officer of the Bank receives total annual salary, bonus and other compensation of $100,000. In 1991, as a result of certain changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Bank's pension plan was amended to reduce significantly the benefits of several key employees, including those of Mr. Paden. As a result, the Bank has entered into Deferred Compensation Agreements with certain of its executive officers, including Mr. Paden. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement, he will receive monthly payments of $930.00 for a period of two hundred and four (204) months, commencing with retirement age of 65. This agreement also provides that these executive officers will be available to perform consulting services for the Bank during the period he is receiving these payments, and prohibits him from entering into competition with the Bank during that same period. In the event that any payments should still remain due and payable to the executive officer under the Agreement at the time of his death, those payments would be made to his surviving spouse. In the event that any payment should still remain due and payable to either the executive officer or his spouse under the Agreement at the death of the survivor of them, those payments would be reduced to their then present value at a predetermined rate of interest and paid to the estate of the survivor in a lump sum. Payments will be prorated in the event the employee retires before the age of 65, and will be increased proportionately if he retires after the age of 65. The Agreement is funded by a life insurance policy owned by the Bank, on which the Bank is the beneficiary and the premiums of which are paid by the Bank. Farmers National Banc Corp. adopted a stock option plan in 1999. As of the date of this proxy statement, no options are outstanding under the stock option plan. No Employment Contracts or Golden Parachute Agreements exist between any executive officer of either Farmers National Banc Corp. or The Farmers National Bank of Canfield. . INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT The Bank has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with Directors, executive officers and their associates on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others. Since the beginning of 2000, the largest aggregate extensions of credit to executive officers, Directors and their associates during the year ended December 31, 2000 was $1,076,730 or 1.52% of Equity Capital Accounts. In the opinion of the management of the Bank, these transactions do not involve more than a normal risk of collection or present any unfavorable features. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 17 The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is made up of all of the outside Directors of Farmers. No officers of the corporation sit on this committee. This committee reports back to the full board but its decisions are not subject to full board approval. The committee has the purpose and responsibility of providing the Bank, its staff and the communities it serves with consistent long-term leadership of the highest quality possible while protecting the interests of the shareholders. The committee sets the limits for increases in the aggregate for all staff, reviews performance of executive officers and sets their salaries for the coming year. In addition, any incentive/bonus program is set by the board based on the recommendation of the compensation committee. The committee takes a straightforward approach to the review of executives and bases its consideration of salaries on specific job performance, contribution to target levels of growth, profitability, stability, capital and return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). Also considered is the executive's contribution to the general success of the Bank and its business plan and community standing, which cannot necessarily be quantified in an appropriated manner but is weighted heavily in a community bank, which is located exclusively in small communities. Successful bank operations are contingent upon accomplishment in all areas and integration with the business community's direction and success in our market areas. Executive performance must therefore be evaluated by using these factors as well. Specific results of each executive's area of responsibility are evaluated and considered, but would not be appropriately discussed here as a matter of confidentiality. The committee evaluates the President on the same basis as other executive offices with weight being given to the achievement of target levels of growth, capital and return on equity and, in addition, specific target goals of the overall strategic plan of the Bank. The accomplishment of meeting the goals and targets are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. The members of the Compensation Committee are Benjamin R. Brown, Chairman; Richard L. Calvin, Joseph D. Lane, David C. Myers, Edward A. Ort, William D. Stewart and Ronald V. Wertz. None has registered a disagreement with the above report. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION No member of the Compensation Committee is currently or was at any time during 2000, an officer or an employee of, or had an employment agreement with the Corporation or the Bank. No corporate or committee interlocks exist which require disclosure under SEC regulations. PERFORMANCE GRAPH The Securities and Exchange Commission requires a line graph presentation comparing cumulative, five-year shareholder returns on an indexed basis with a broad 18 equity market index and either a nationally recognized industry standard or an index of peer companies selected by the Corporation.

PADEN, PRESIDENT & SECRETARY 20 EXHIBIT "A" ARTICLE III PROCEDURES FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors constituting the entire Board shall not be less than five (5) nor more than twenty-five (25), the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by a sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) majority vote of the whole Board of Directors of the corporation, and such exact number shall be eight (8) until otherwise so determined in accordance with this Article III, Section 1. Unless otherwise provided by law, any vacancy in the Board of Directors for any reason, including an increase in the number thereof, shall be filled by action of the Board of Directors as provided in accordance with these Regulations. SECTION 2. NOMINATIONS. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting of the shareholders may be made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Nominations may also be made at a meeting of shareholders by any shareholder of the corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2 of Article III. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred-twenty (120) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than ninety (90) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered or mailed no later than the close of business on the 7th day following the date public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Such shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each nominee of the shareholder: (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment history of the person for the last five (5) years, and (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are directly and beneficially owned by the person; and (b) as to the shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of the shareholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are directly and beneficially owned by the shareholder. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as director of the corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation at a meeting of the shareholders unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. SECTION 3. ELECTION AND TERM OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes with the term of office of one class expiring each year. At the annual meeting of Shareholders held in 2001, directors of the first class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, directors of the second class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting, and directors of the third class shall be elected to hold office 21 for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until their successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the foregoing, at each annual meeting of shareholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. Amendment of this Article III, Section 3 - ELECTION AND TERM OF DIRECTORS, shall require a sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) majority vote of the shareholders. SECTION 4. VACANCIES. In case of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, through increase in the number of directors, death, resignation, disqualification, or other cause, the remaining directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority thereof, shall elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place is vacant. If the vacancy is created through an increase in the number of directors, the Board of Directors shall determine the class of such directorship. SECTION 5. REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR. Any or all of the directors shall only be removed with cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting stock of the corporation at a meeting called for such purpose. Sufficient showing of cause shall be determined by a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of the unaffected directors if there exists a minimum of four (4) unaffected directors. In the event there exists less than four (4) unaffected directors, then sufficient showing of cause shall be determined by unanimous vote of the unaffected directors and by an opinion of an uninterested legal counsel designated by the President of the corporation, which such opinion concurs with the findings of the unaffected directors. 22 PROXY CARD FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. 20 SOUTH BROAD ST., P.O.
