NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE-1 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Empire Banc Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Empire National Bank, after elimination of significant inter-company transactions and accounts. The statements have been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements included in the Empire Banc Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. NOTE-2 Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable under the assumed exercise of stock options granted under the Corporation's stock option plan, using the treasury stock method. NOTE-3 During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, there were no sales or transfers of available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities. The change in net unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities for the current quarter is $183,000 and year to date is ($331,000). 6 NET INTEREST INCOME AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST INCOME/EXPENSE, AVERAGE RATES

8 EMPIRE BANC CORPORATION FINANCIAL REVIEW THIRD QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 1995 SUMMARY Empire Banc Corporation's third quarter earnings were $1,181,000, a 11.2% increase over 1995 third quarter results. Third quarter earnings per share increased from $.57 per share in 1995 to $.63 in 1996. The return on assets was 1.21% for the quarter versus 1.19% for the same period in 1995. The return on equity was 15.15% compared to 14.92% in the prior year quarter. The current quarter's results reflect the impact of an increase from the third quarter of 1995 of $288,000, or 7% in net interest income, attributable to a 10% increase in average earning assets. Quarterly average increases for loans of $10.0 million or 4%, and securities of $23.0 million or 32%, have been fueled by deposit increases of $25.6 million or 8% and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $5 million. The quarterly provision for loan losses increased $150,000 in comparision with the third quarter of 1995 primarily due to increased additions to the allowance for loan losses. Non-performing assets have declined from 1.09% of total loans in September of 1995 to .50% of loans September of 1996. Non-interest income increased $160,000, or 12% in the quarter-to-quarter comparison with substantial increases in fees earned in the mortgage and trust operations, while non-interest expense increased $111,000, or 3%. Shareholders' equity has increased almost 10% during the last twelve months to $31.7 million improving book value per share to $18.21 from the $16.78 in September 1995. 9

Third quarter net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis was $4.2 million, an 7.5% increase from the $3.9 million earned in the year ago quarter. Average earning assets increased 10.1% or $34 million while net interest margin, the other principal determinant of net interest income, decreased from 4.68% to 4.58% in the current quarter. In the quarterly comparison from a year-ago, changes in the loan portfolio include growth in the commercial portfolio of 5.8% or $6.6 million, and mortgage portfolio growth of 8.2% or $5.1 million which were offset by a decline in average consumer loans of 2.1% or $1.6 million. The average rate earned on the loan portfolio was 9.39%, decreasing 19 basis points ("bp") from the prior year quarter following general economic trends. Short-term market interest rates averaged 52 bp less in the third quarter of 1996 versus the same quarter of 1995. Securities on average grew $23 million or 31.6% in the quarter to quarter comparison while the rate earned increased 22 basis points to average 6.21% for the quarter. Average overnight funds sold averaged $12.2 million, comparable to the prior year's third quarter, while the rate earned declined 54 bp. Funding for the earning asset growth came mainly from the $25.3 million or 9.1% growth in interest bearing funds and the $5.2 million or 11.5% increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits. Certificates of deposits and CDs over $100,000 increased by $9.9 million and $3.3 million respectively. Savings and interest checking accounts were up $2.9 million, money market deposits grew $4.2 million, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $5 million from last year's quarter. The average rate paid on interest bearing funds decreased 12 bp to 4.70% for the third quarter of 1996. Non-interest bearing funds supporting earning assets increased 15.1% or $8.5 million compared to the third quarter of 1995. 10

Non-interest income for the third quarter totaled $1.5 million, a $160,000 or 12% increase from the third quarter of 1995. Mortgage sales and servicing income increased significantly from the prior year principally from higher loan volume and the adoption in July 1995 of Accounting Standard No. 122, on accounting for mortgage servicing rights. For servicing retained, SFAS 122 requires capitalizing the cost of these rights and accounts for $200,000 of the year-to-date change. Income from trust activities continued its steady growth pattern, with a 19% increase in trust assets fueling fee income growth. Other income's increase from the prior year quarter resulted primarily from additional fees earned through PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc.

Non-interest expenses for the third quarter totaled $3.5 million, an increase of $111,000, or 3%, from the third quarter of 1995. Furniture and equipment costs were lower primarily due to a $22,000 or 28% decrease in computer depreciation expense. Other expense increased due to additional costs associated with non-earning loans, and higher activity based expenses including volume related loan fees and postage. 11 ASSET QUALITY

Potential problem loans, which are closely monitored by management, have increased from $2.7 million, or 1.1% of loans, at September 30, 1995, to $5.0 million, or 1.9% of loans at September 30, 1996. This increase is centered in one long-term credit relationship. 12

The provision for loan losses increased primarily due to increased additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income has increased $564,000, or 15%, for the first nine months of 1996, mainly due to the $300,000 or 40% increase in fees earned from the origination and sale of mortgage loans, and the $217,000 or 16% increase in trust income. SFAS 122 on accounting for mortgage service rights adopted in July 1995 accounts for $200,000 of the increase in fees earned from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Non-interest expense increased $795,000, or 8% from the comparable prior period, primarily attributable to increased personnel costs of $725,000 in 1996. These increased personnel expenses reflect higher benefit costs related to the rise in the Corporation's stock price, provision for employee profit sharing incentive award and volume related commissions. Increases in non-interest expense have been offset by a reduction in FDIC insurance assessments between the two periods. An additional liability in 1996 for the special assessment by the FDIC on deposits qualifying as part of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, bring the total expense through September to $175,000 versus the $325,000 recorded as of September 1995.
