National Bancshares Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Bancshares Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank, Orrville, Ohio (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002, the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

         To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.

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

         In January 2001, the Company adopted a new accounting standard, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138. As a result, the Company 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 allow hedging of those securities in the future if deemed beneficial. The transfer had a positive impact on the company’s other comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity, net of taxes, of approximately $134,000.

         In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations within its scope to be accounted for using the purchase method, rather than the pooling-of-interests method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company followed the provisions of this pronouncement in its acquisition discussed below.

         Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations. Upon the adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations is no longer amortized, but rather is assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible assets, continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company adopted this Statement on January 1, 2002. The Company’s intangible assets relating to branch purchases are continuing to be amortized as before.

         A new accounting standard, SFAS No. 143, dealing with asset retirement obligations will apply for 2003. The Company has not yet determined whether this standard will have a material affect on its financial position or results of operations.

6

         Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted a new standard, SFAS No. 144, issued by the FASB on impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The effect of this on the financial position and results of operations of the Company is not expected to be material.

Note 2. Acquisition

         On October 2, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Peoples Financial Corporation, located in Massillon, Ohio. Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples Financial Corporation (Peoples Financial), was merged into First National Bank, Orrville, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $12.25 in cash for each of the 1,234,085 outstanding shares of Peoples Financial. The aggregate transaction value was $15.1 million. The merger was consummated on April 3, 2002 and was accounted for as a purchase. As such, Peoples Financial Corporation’s results of operations from the effective date of the acquisition are included in the Company’s 2002 financial statements. The merger provides the Company with an opportunity to expand into an adjacent and attractive market area.

         The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

At April 3, 2002
($000s)

Cash and cash equivalents		$	14,066
Investment securities			5,823
Federal bank stock			1,147
Loans, net			80,993
Premises and equipment, net			1,755
Other assets			257
Core deposit intangibles			1,063
Goodwill			5,434
Total assets acquired			110,538
Deposits			(73,995	)
Federal Home Loan Bank advances			(19,411	)
Other liabilities			(1,698	)
Total liabilities assumed			(95,104	)
	Net assets acquired	$	15,434

         The core deposit intangibles have a weighted average useful life of 10 years and the amortization is not tax deductible. The goodwill of $5,434,000 represents the acquisition cost in excess of book value of $5,832,000, less adjustment to reflect fair values of $674,000, plus merger related expenses of $276,000.

         Below is a listing of the purchase accounting adjustments, which are included in the above fair values, including their estimated lives and amortization methods. These adjustments increased (decreased) the reported book values of the assets and liabilities acquired.

         The following summarized unaudited pro forma financial information for the periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 assume the Peoples Financial Corporation acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2001.

When used herein, the terms “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward looking statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheets

         Total assets increased $96.4 million or 48.7% from 12/31/01 principally due to the acquisition of Peoples Financial Corporation. Federal funds sold increased $3.5 million or 106.8% due mainly to the growth in deposits and other borrowings. Total securities declined $2.1 million or 3.4% from 12/31/01 to support loan demand. Net loans increased $83.6 million or 71.5% mainly due to the acquisition noted above. Commercial loans increased $9.0 million or 17.8% and real estate mortgages increased $75.5 million or 125.4%, while installment loans decreased $0.4 million or 5.7%. Goodwill increased $5.4 million and other assets (which includes core deposit intangible of $1.0 million) increased $1.1 million mainly due to the acquisition.

         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. The allowance is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to absorb all estimated losses. Management estimates the allowance balance required using the following methodology. All problem, past due and non-performing loans are closely monitored and analyzed by management on a regular basis. Management assigns a classification rating to these loans based on information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. Management determines the loss that exists on each significant problem, past due and non-performing loan. Other past due loans that are not analyzed individually are pooled and evaluated by loan type. The probable loss that exists on past due loans is estimated using past loan

loss experience. All other loans are pooled by loan type and evaluated based upon past loan loss experience. National and local economic conditions and other factors are also considered in determining an adequate level for the allowance for loan losses. 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. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis to determine the adequacy of the reserve.

         During the second quarter of 2002, management reviewed problem loans and increased specific reserves on certain problem credits. This resulted in a provision of $95 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/02 compared to $15 thousand for the same period in 2001.

         The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was .82% for June 30, 2002 compared to 1.12% for December 31, 2001. The ratio was impacted by the acquisition of Peoples Financial Corporation. Their loan portfolio consisted mainly of one-to-four family real estate mortgage loans, which carry substantially less risk than other types of loans. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs to total average loans were .02% for the first six months of 2002 and .05% for the first six months of 2001. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .20% ($397,015) for June 30, 2002 compared to .22% ($258,778) for December 31, 2001. Non-performing loans consist of loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status.

Impaired loans at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were as follows:

	6/30/02		12/31/01
Loans with no allocated allowance for loan losses	$	—	$	58,749
Loans with allocated allowance for loan losses		70,933		5,000
Amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated		70,580		5,000

	6/30/02		6/30/01
Average of impaired loans during the first six months of 2002 and 2001	$	49,375	$	13,432
Interest income recognized during impairment		4,924		784
Cash-basis interest income recognized		4,924		784

         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.

         Total deposits increased $77.2 million or approximately 48.4% from 12/31/01, mainly due to the acquisition of Peoples Financial Corporation. Non-interest bearing demand accounts increased 17.7%, savings and N.O.W. accounts increased 30.3% and time deposits increased 92.8%. Time deposit balances are affected by the interest rates offered by competitors in our market area. Securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased $0.1 million from 12/31/01. The Federal Reserve note account increased $0.9 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $15.7 million due to the acquisition. Other liabilities increased $1.1 million or 102.0% mainly due to an increase in deferred taxes related to unrealized gains on available for sale securities. Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.5 million or 4.9% from 12/31/01.

Statements of Cash Flows

         Net cash from operating activities for the first six months of 2002 was $0.5 million compared to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the merger transaction and related changes in other assets and other liabilities. Net cash from investing activities for the first six months of 2002 was $5.2 million, compared to ($0.9) million for the first six months of 2001. The increase was due primarily to the inflows from securities, net of purchases. Net cash from financing activities was ($0.2) million for the first six months of 2002 compared to ($4.5) million for the first six months of 2001. The change was primarily due to the net change in demand and savings accounts. This was offset by declines in time deposits and from borrowing repayments. Total cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million during the first six months of 2002. With total cash and cash equivalents of $15.8 million as of 6/30/02, the Company’s liquidity ratios continue to remain favorable.

         The Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios declined from 12/31/01 to 6/30/02 due to the acquisition of Peoples Financial, which increased net assets by approximately $15 million. However, the Company and the Bank are still considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Interest income totaled $4.4 million or $977 thousand higher for the three-months ended 6/30/02 as compared to the same period in 2001. Interest expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended 6/30/02 or $177 thousand higher than 2001. This resulted in an increase of $800 thousand or 38.7% in net interest income for the three-month period ended 6/30/02 as compared to 6/30/01, due primarily to the acquisition of Peoples Financial Corporation. The six months results for the periods ended 6/30/02 and 6/30/01 were an increase in interest income of $359 thousand and a decrease in interest expense of $399 thousand. Interest income increased due to higher volume as average earning assets increased from $188.6 million to $218.5 million. Yields on earning assets declined from 7.92% to 7.12%. Interest expense decreased due to lower average costs, which declined from 3.01% to 2.23%. Average volume of interest bearing liabilities increased from $142.2 million to $172.9 million. This resulted in a net interest income increase of $758 thousand or 17.8% for the six months ended 6/30/02 compared to 6/30/01. Net interest rate margins were 4.89% and 4.91% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         Provision for loan losses was $95 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/02 compared to $15 thousand for the same period in 2001. The provision for loan losses was $115 thousand and $30 thousand for the six months ended 6/30/02 and 6/30/01. Net charge offs for the six months ended 6/30/02 were $16 thousand compared to $28 thousand for the same period in 2001.

         Each quarter, management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by reviewing the overall risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio, by reviewing specific problem credits and assessing the incurred losses based on expected cash flows or collateral values, by reviewing trends in problem loan levels, by updating loss history for the Company’s loans and comparing to the overall banking industry, and by analyzing economic trends that are believed to impact the Company’s borrowers. As previously discussed, management determined that an additional provision in the second quarter 2002 was necessary to increase the reserve for specific problem credits.

         Noninterest income was $366 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/02 or approximately 4.9% above the same period in 2001. Noninterest income was $780 thousand for the six months ended 6/30/02 or approximately 30.1% above the same period in 2001, due mainly to security gains and other miscellaneous income.

         Noninterest expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended 6/30/02 or approximately 32.4% above the same period in 2001. Year to date noninterest expense for 2002 was $3.8 million or 16.2% above the same period in 2001, due mainly to higher salary and employee benefit, data processing and depreciation costs related to the acquisition of Peoples Financial Corporation.

         Net income was $681 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/02 or 14.3% above the same quarter of 2001. Net income was approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended 6/30/02 or 15.5% above the first six months of 2001. The increase was due primarily to higher net interest income, offset by increased operating expenses.

         Net unrealized appreciation on securities available for sale was $931 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/02 compared to $120 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/01. Year to date unrealized appreciation was $554 thousand compared to $767 thousand for the same period last year. The market value of securities in the available for sale portfolio increased due to an increase in stock and bond market levels on certain securities. Comprehensive income was $1.6 million for the three months ended 6/30/02 or 125.1% above the same period in 2001. Comprehensive income was $2.0 million for the six months ended 6/30/02 or 1.2% below the first half of 2001.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The acquisition of Peoples Financial increased our portfolio of fixed rate real estate mortgages and increased our exposure to interest rate risk. On December 31, 2001, the Company had a negative one-year cumulative gap of 1.9% of total assets, compared to a negative one-year cumulative gap of 5.3% of total assets on June 30, 2002. A negative gap 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. However, the gap was still within Board-approved policy limits of –10% and +10%.
