Dear Shareholders

      While operating results for the year 2000 posted new highs, the gains over the previous year were somewhat modest. Income before income taxes increased $121 thousand, or 3.9%, above that of 1999. With income taxes increasing $83 thousand, or 13.1%, net income was up $38 thousand, or 1.5%, above 1999. Total assets increased approximately $3.4 million, or 1.7%, above the end of the previous year. Asset growth was driven primarily by an increase in loans. Net loans rose over $8 million, or 8.1%, above the end of the previous year. Most of the loan activity during this past year was realized in commercial and real estate mortgage loans. Total deposits posted a modest growth of 1%, increasing over $1.5 million. With Certificates of Deposit being a popular product during this past year, we experienced a movement of some funds from savings and interest-bearing checking into time deposits. Total shareholders’ equity increased by over $2 million, or 7.8%, above year end 1999. This increase is primarily due to an increase in retained earnings and an increase in the market value of securities available for sale. The difference between the market value and book value of these securities (net of tax) is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.

      Total cash dividends declared in 2000 equaled 50¢ per share, a 4.2% increase over the total cash dividends declared in 1999. This continues our long-term trend of increasing cash dividends each year.

      The stock market during this past year was not particularly kind to financial stocks. The stock values of most financial institutions took quite a beating throughout the year 2000. The price of many financial stocks sold on the over the counter market (OTC), such as ours, tend to follow the regional bank stocks. This trail seems to occur with a varying lag affect. The bid price of our stock declined throughout this past year, hitting a low of $14.50 on October 3, 2000. It rebounded modestly to $15.25 by December 31, 2000. With the price of some regional bank stocks climbing near the end of this past year, we are optimistic our stock may also enjoy an upward movement of market value during the year 2001.

      In April of this past year, we unveiled a new product in the Visa® Check Card. This card can be used in lieu of writing a check when paying for purchases from merchants that accept Visa. The amount of the purchase is automatically deducted from the customer’s checking account. The card will also enable our customers to obtain cash or transfer

      In December, we opened a new drive-up MAC ATM at our Mt. Eaton office bringing 24-hour banking to the community. We also unveiled a new Preferred Savings Account. This account offers a tiered rate of interest as the account balance grows. Customers with a higher balance can realize interest rates like those typically offered on certificates of deposit, with the advantage of having immediate access to these funds. I invite you to stop at any of our offices to learn more about this new savings product.

      National Bancshares Corporation, through its subsidiary, First National Bank, also supports the communities we serve through financial contributions and the voluntary efforts of our employees. We financially support more than fifty different community organizations each year. During the past five years, First National Bank has contributed over $350 thousand to these local organizations. The services provided by these groups range from education and youth to medical and social services. Our employees have also given very generously of their time and money to these organizations. During this past year our employees raised over $20 thousand for charitable causes and donated thousands of hours of their time to support many worthwhile causes in our communities. This personal involvement is indicative of the many high-quality people in our organization. These contributions, and the voluntary efforts of our employees, make our communities a better place to live and work.

The Board of Directors, on behalf of First National Bank, contributed nearly $75,000 to charitable organizations during 2000. This generosity upholds the Bank’s long-standing commitment to "give back" to the communities we serve.

Shareholders’ equity had an ending balance of $28,939,329 on December 31, 2000. This is an increase of $2.1 million or 7.8% from the 1999 ending balance of $26,856,195. The increase is due mainly to retained earnings and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income. This growth translates to a $0.92 increase in book value per share, raising the book value per share to $12.93 on December 31, 2000, compared to $12.01 on December 31, 1999. Under the federal risk-based capital regulations, the Bank’s total capital to risk-based assets of 19.40% on December 31, 2000 was more than twice the 8% minimum required. The Bank remains in a very favorable position when compared to its peer group in the area of capitalization.

      Shareholders’ equity reflects the change in accumulated other comprehensive income. This represents the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the market value of investment securities (net of taxes) that are available for sale. During 2000, accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $597,722, resulting in an unrealized depreciation balance of $127,139 at December 31, 2000. A general improvement in the market value of debt and equity investments owned, due to economic conditions and lower interest rates, has increased the market value of securities in the available for sale portfolio.

      In summary, the Corporation continued to experience balance sheet growth highlighted by increases of approximately 8.1% in loans, 1.0% in deposits and 7.8% in shareholders’ equity.

 

Liquidity

      Liquidity is the consideration of the corporation’s ability to meet its necessary outgoing cash flow needs. Cash equivalents for the cash flow statement of $15.2 million is composed of $7.1 million in cash and due from banks and $8.1 million in federal funds sold. Management considers the corporation to be in a satisfactory liquidity position with the ability to meet the demands of its customers and the local economy.

Results of Operations

      Net income set a new record high of $2,555,271 in 2000, or approximately 1.5% over 1999’s net income of $2,516,986. Net income for 1999 was approximately 7.4% above 1998’s net income of $2,344,645. This equates to net income per share of $1.14 for 2000, $1.12 for 1999 and $1.03 for 1998. The primary source of income continues to be interest on loans and other investments with additional revenues generated from fees on non-interest related services.

 

      Interest and fees on loans of $9,280,026 for 2000 was above 1999 by 12.0%, or approximately $995 thousand. Interest and fees on loans also increased from 1998 to 1999, improving by 5.9%, or approximately $461 thousand. The improvement in 2000 was due to an increase in average loan volume and average loan yields. The improvement in 1999 was due to an increase in average loan volume. Average interest yields on loans were 8.85%, 8.50% and 9.25% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Interest on federal funds sold was $348,202, $488,523 and $621,579 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease of $140 thousand in 2000 was the result of lower volume of funds sold. The decrease of $133 thousand in 1999 was the result of lower average rates and volume of funds sold.

      Interest on taxable investment securities, which includes interest-bearing deposits with banks, increased by approximately $25 thousand ending 2000 at $3,419,441. This 0.7% increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase in the average investment balances. In 1999, interest on taxable investment securities decreased by approximately $175 thousand or 4.9% from 1998. This decrease was due to a decrease in average investment balances.

      Interest on obligations of states and political subdivisions totaled $1,166,910 for 2000, which was $47 thousand or 3.9% below 1999. The average balance of these investments decreased $884 thousand while the average taxable equivalent yield increased slightly from 8.54% in 1999 to 8.55% in 2000. Interest on obligations of states and political subdivisions

totaled $1,214,513 for 1999, which was $6 thousand or 0.5% below 1998. The average balances increased $49 thousand in 1999 while the average taxable equivalent yield declined from 8.60% to 8.54%.

      Total interest and dividend income of $14,214,579 for 2000 was $832 thousand higher than 1999’s total of $13,382,607 as a result of the generally higher loan volumes and yields. 1999’s total interest income exceeded 1998’s by $147 thousand due primarily to higher loan volumes.

      Interest on deposits totaled $4,898,207 in 2000 as compared to $4,470,562 in 1999. This $428 thousand increase, which equaled a 9.6% increase, was due principally to higher average rates on deposits. Comparing 1999 to 1998, interest on deposits decreased $337 thousand or 7.0%. The decrease was due to lower average rates on deposits.

      Interest expense on other funds purchased, which includes Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $512,059, $278,047 and $191,603 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increases in 2000 and 1999 were primarily the result of higher average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

      Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $8,804,313, $8,633,998 and $8,235,686 for 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively. This represents an increase of 2.0% in 2000 and 4.8% in 1999. The net interest margin, which is calculated on a tax equivalent basis, was 5.15% for 2000 and 5.14% for 1999 and 1998.

      The Bank provides for potential loan losses throughout the year. In 2000 the provision for loan losses was $62,500. In 1999 and 1998 the provision for loan losses was $120,000. The total provision for loan losses for the last three years was $302,500, compared to total net charge-offs of $191,840 for the same three-year period. The provision for loan losses is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, current delinquencies, mix and various types of loans, general economic conditions and trends, and an evaluation of the losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.

      Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $8,741,813, $8,513,998 and $8,115,686 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This represents an increase of 2.7% in 2000 and 4.9% in 1999.

      Noninterest income totaled $849,467, $836,598 and $874,699 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Noninterest income is primarily comprised of checking account fees, which were $560 thousand in 2000, $544 thousand in 1999 and $545 thousand in 1998. Other noninterest income includes safety deposit box rents, net gains/losses on loans sold and other miscellaneous fees and collections.

      Noninterest expenses were $6,318,759 for 2000, $6,199,427 in 1999 and $6,051,569 in 1998. This represents a $119 thousand or 1.9% increase in 2000 and a $148 thousand or 2.4% increase in 1999. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits and miscellaneous other expenses. The higher salaries and employee benefits were mainly due to normal salary increases. The increase in 1999 was due to higher salaries and employee benefits. The higher salaries and employee benefits in 1999 were mainly due to normal salary increases and staffing the new office in Wooster.

      The income tax provision amounted to $717,250, $634,183 and $594,171 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and lower nontaxable interest income, offset by higher noninterest expenses resulted in a higher tax provision in 2000. In 1999, the increase in net interest income was the main reason for a higher tax provision. The effective tax rate was 21.9%, 20.1% and 20.2% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Cash dividends declared during 2000 were $0.50 per share, compared to $0.48 per share in 1999 and $0.44 per share in 1998. The dividend payout percentage was 43.82%, 42.84% and 42.72% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Return on average equity was 9.08%, 9.22% and 8.71% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Return on average assets was a respectable 1.30% in 2000 and 1999, and 1.27% in 1998.

 

Asset & Liability Management

      Management considers interest rate risk to be the Corporation’s most significant market risk. Management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income, while managing interest rate risk within Board-approved policy limits. The Corporation’s Asset/Liability Management Committee, which consists of the Bank’s Executive Officers and reports directly to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk in order to maintain an acceptable level of possible change in net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. The Asset/Liability Management Committee also monitors the Corporation’s

First National Bank has a long history of supporting the United Way. In 2000, more than $17,000 was donated to local United Ways and Community Chests by the Bank and its associates. FNB associates also support United Way by taking leadership roles. These roles include board of trustee positions, citizen review committees and fund-raising committees.

liquidity levels, which were within the Corporation’s policy guidelines at December 31, 2000. The Corporation does own certain equity securities, which have more price volatility compared to debt securities and does subject the Corporation to some equity risk. The Corporation does not own any trading assets and is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.

      The Corporation uses a gap analysis model as its primary method to identify and manage its interest rate risk. The model measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or maturing within specific time periods. The model also considers prepayment assumptions and estimated paydowns in the loan and investment portfolios. An asset-sensitive position indicates that there are more rate-sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities repricing or maturing within specific time horizons, which would generally imply a favorable impact on net interest income in periods of rising interest rates and a negative impact in periods of falling rates. A liability-sensitive position would generally imply a negative impact on net interest income in periods of rising rates and a positive impact in periods of falling rates.

      Management’s goal is to manage the Corporation’s interest rate risk by maintaining the gap between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing in a one-year period within a range of plus or minus 10% of total assets.

      Gap analysis has limitations because it cannot measure the effect of interest rate movements and competitive pressures on the repricing and maturity characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The model assumes that certain assets and liabilities of similar maturity or repricing opportunities will react the same to changes in interest rates. However, certain types of financial instruments may react in advance to changes in market rates, while other types of financial instruments may lag behind the change in general market rates.

      At December 31, 2000 the Corporation had a negative one year cumulative gap of 2.9% of total assets, indicating a slightly higher balance of rate sensitive liabilities than rate sensitive assets. The estimated impact on the net interest margin from modestly rising or falling interest rates would be relatively insignificant due to the short duration of mismatch within the first 12 months. The following table shows the estimated change in net interest income over 12 months if interest rates were to immediately increase or decrease by 200 basis points.

Forward-Looking Statements

      The Corporation is not aware of any trend, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material affect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations except as discussed herein. Also, the Corporation is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which would have such an affect if implemented. The Corporation cautions that any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report or made by management of the Corporation involves risk and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Additionally, the Corporation claims no notification responsibilities should their opinions change from those expressed herein.

Impact of New Accounting Standard

      A new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. The standard does not allow hedging of a security, which is classified as held to maturity. Accordingly, companies may reclassify any security from held to maturity upon adoption of the pronouncement if they wish to be able to hedge the security in the future. The standard is effective for the Corporation in 2001.

      In January 2001, the Corporation adopted the new standard and transferred securities with an amortized cost of approximately $30.5 million and a fair value of approximately $30.7 million from the held to maturity to the available for sale category to take advantage of the flexibility provided by this classification. The transfer had a positive impact on the corporation’s capital, net of taxes, of approximately $134 thousand.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include National Bancshares Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank, Orrville, Ohio, together referred to as “the Corporation.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

      The Corporation provides financial services through its offices in Orrville, Ohio, and surrounding communities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Most loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

      Segments: As noted above, the Corporation provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in northern Ohio. While the Corporation’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

      Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and fair values of certain securities are particularly subject to change.

      Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and deposits with other banks.

      Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Other securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost.

      Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.

      Loans: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

      Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days. Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions.

      Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

      A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

      Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

Table of Contents

      Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the asset useful lives on the straight-line basis.

      Intangibles: Purchased intangibles, including goodwill of $261,000 and core deposit value of $75,000 at year-end 2000, are recorded at cost and amortized over the estimated life. Goodwill amortization is straight-line and core deposit amortization is accelerated.

      Long-term Assets: These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at discounted amounts.

      Repurchase Agreements: Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

      Benefit Plans: Retirement plan expense is the amount of required matching contributions plus any discretionary contributions as determined by Board decision. Deferred compensation plan expense allocates the benefits over the estimated years of service.

      Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current-year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

      Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer-financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.

      Earnings Per Common Share: Earnings per common share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. There are no potentially dilutive instruments. During 1998, the Corporation declared a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend.

      Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which is also recognized as a separate component of equity.

      Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

      Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company. Dividends paid by the bank to the holding company are the primary source of funds for dividends by the holding company to its shareholders.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

      Impact of Recent Accounting Standards: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 with early adoption encouraged for any fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 1998 or later, with no retroactive application. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS No. 133 does not allow hedging of a security which is classified as held to maturity, accordingly upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, companies may reclassify any security from held to maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to hedge the security in the future. As a result, the Company transferred $30,458,397 of securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The unrealized gain at the time the securities were transferred was approximately $203,588. The after tax effect of the transfer was to increase equity by $134,368 and is shown as cumulative effect adjustment in other comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have any other significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

11. Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Retained Earnings

      The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective-action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

      Prompt corrective-action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If

      Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year-end.

adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. The Corporation is considered well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act at year-end 2000 and 1999. Management is not aware of any matters after December 31, 2000 that would cause the Corporation’s capital category to change.

      The Bank is restricted by regulation in the amount of dividends it may pay to the holding company. Under the most restrictive dividend limitations, at year-end 2000 approximately $98,860 is available for the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company.

12. Commitments, Contingencies and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

      Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer-financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met. These agreements usually have fixed expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

      Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows at year-end.

                 
2000 1999
 
Unused lines of credit
$ 24,113,000 $ 23,472,000
Letters of credit
1,012,000 1,575,000

      The Corporation was required to have approximately $2,060,000 and $1,722,000 of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank at year-end 2000 and 1999. These balances do not earn interest. The Corporation has also committed to invest up to $112,500 in a limited partnership that purchases stock of financial companies.

      Of the above-unused lines of credit, approximately $4,729,000 pertains to fixed-rate commitments, and variable-rate commitments account for approximately $19,384,000. In addition, rates on unused lines of credit range from 6.99% to 16.9%.

13. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Accrued interest payable
(840,304 ) (840,000 ) (535,898 ) (536,000 )

      The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows.

      Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, Federal bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand and savings deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items, based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, is not material.

Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Shareholders
National Bancshares Corporation
Orrville, Ohio

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Bancshares Corporation as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Bancshares Corporation as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
