ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
On April 13, 1998, shareholders of The Commercial Bank (the "Bank")
approved a Merger Agreement ("Agreement") pursuant to which ComBanc, Inc. (the
"Company") acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Bank as a result of the
exchange of shares between the shareholders of the Bank and the Company. After
the share exchange which became effective on August 31, 1998, the Bank survived
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and continues its operations as The
Commercial Bank. Under the terms of the Agreement, each one of the existing
outstanding shares of the Banks common stock was exchanged for two of the
Company's common shares so that each existing shareholder of the Bank became a
shareholder of the Company, owning the same percentage of shares in the Company
as the Bank. The shares of the company issued in connection with the transaction
were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), in
reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a) (12) of
the Act.
As a result of the transaction described above, the Company is the
successor issuer to the Bank pursuant to Rule 12g-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Bank is subject to the
informational requirements of the Exchange Act and in accordance with Section
12(I) thereof has timely filed reports and other information with the Board of
Governors for the Federal Reserve System ("FRS"). Such reports and other
information filed by the Bank with the FRS may be examined without charge at, or
copies obtained upon payment of prescribed fees from, the Securities Disclosure
Division, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Stop 153A,
Washington, D.C. 20551.
Since the only asset of ComBanc is the investment in The Commercial Bank,
the 1999 form 10-K will reflect the consolidated activity for 1999 and 1998
compared with the Bank only for 1997. A reader of these financial statements
should refer to The Commercial Bank 1997 Form 10-K.
The Commercial Bank is a full service bank chartered under the laws of
the State of Ohio in 1877, and is subject to regulation by the Ohio
Superintendent of Banks and the Federal Reserve System. Commercial's principal
executive offices are located at 230 E. Second St., Delphos, Ohio 45833, and its
telephone number is (419) 695-1055. Commercial operates four branch facilities:
the Elida Branch Office at 105 S. Greenlawn Ave., Elida, Ohio, the Gomer Banking
Center at 4310 Lincoln Highway, Gomer, Ohio, the Lima Allentown Branch Office at
2600 Allentown Road, Lima, Ohio, and the newest facility at 2285 N. Cole St.,
Lima, Ohio opened in August of 1996.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had 84 full time equivalent employees.
MARKET AREA
The Bank operates primarily in Allen, Putnam and Van Wert Counties in
northwestern Ohio. The Bank's market area is economically diverse, with a base
of manufacturing, service industries, transportation and agriculture, and is not
dependent upon any single industry or employer.
COMPETITION
Bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are subject to competition
from various financial institutions and other "non-bank" or non-regulated
companies or firms that engage in similar activities. The Bank competes for
deposits with other commercial banks, savings banks, saving and loan
associations, insurance companies and credit unions, as well as issuers of
commercial paper and other securities, including shares in mutual funds. In
making loans, the Bank competes with other commercial banks, savings banks,
savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions,
insurance companies, leasing companies and other non-bank lenders.
-2-
3
The Company and the Bank compete not only with financial institutions
based in Ohio, but also with a number of large out-of-state banks, bank holding
companies and other financial and non-bank institutions. Some of the financial
and other institutions operating in the same markets are engaged in national
operations and have more assets and personnel than the Company. Some of the
Company's competitors are not subject to the extensive bank regulatory structure
and restrictive policies which apply to the Company and the Bank.
The principal factors in successfully competing for deposits are
convenient office locations and remote service units, flexible hours,
competitive interest rates and services, while those relating to loans are
competitive interest rates, the range of lending services offered and lending
fees. The Company believes that the local character of the Banks' businesses and
their community bank management philosophy enabled them to compete successfully
in their respective market areas. However, it is anticipated that competition
will continue to increase in the years ahead.
REGULATION
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 as amended, and is subject to regulation by the Federal
Reserve Board. A bank holding company is required to file with the Federal
Reserve Board annual reports and other information regarding its business
operations and those of its subsidiaries. A bank holding company and its
subsidiary banks are also subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board.
The Bank is regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions as
an Ohio state bank. Additionally, the Bank is regulated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRS") as a member of the Federal
Reserve System. The regulatory agencies have the authority to regularly examine
the Bank and the Bank is subject to the regulations promulgated by its
supervisory agencies. In addition, the deposits of the Bank are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and, therefore, the Bank is
subject to FDIC regulations.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
The Bank's lending philosophy focuses on developing strong primary
banking relationships with businesses and individuals in its market area.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of
approximately 14.2% commercial loans, 72.7% real estate loans, and 13.1%
consumer related installment and credit card loans. The Bank generally does not
lend outside its overall market area and historically has not acquired
significant participation interests from other financial institutions. The Bank
has no foreign loans.
Commercial, installment and real estate loans have accounted for a
significant portion of the growth in the Bank's loan portfolio in recent years.
Such loans are made to a diverse group of customers.
The Bank has historically been a major residential real estate lender in
its market area. Such loans are generally retained by the Bank after
origination; however the Bank is an approved seller/servicer for the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Real estate construction loans
totaled 5.4% of total loans at December 31, 1999. All construction loans were
performing.

CREDIT QUALITY
The Bank seeks to maintain a high level of asset quality through
emphasizing loan originations in its overall market area. The Company focuses
its commercial lending efforts on small and medium-sized companies and its real
estate lending on both development and owner-occupied and one-to-four family
residential properties.
At December 31, 1999, the Bank's percentage of non-performing loans to
total loans was 1.93% as compared to 1.00% of total loans at December 31, 1998.
The Bank's percentage of net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 1999 to
average loans outstanding was .21%. In accordance with general banking
practices, Commercial maintains an allowance for loan losses. This allowance is
established based upon a review of historical experience and current trends,
"problem" credits and delinquencies and an annual review of all significantly
sized loans. At December 31, 1999, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was
1.14% of total loans, as compared with 1.26% at December 31, 1998.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Commercial Bank, at any given time, is involved in a number of
lawsuits initiated by The Commercial Bank as a plaintiff, intending to collect
upon delinquent accounts, to foreclose upon real property, or to seize and sell
personal property pledged as security for any such account.
At December 31, 1999, The Commercial Bank was involved in a number of such
cases as a party-plaintiff, and occasionally, as a party-defendant due to its
joinder as a lien holder, either by mortgage or by judgment lien. In the
ordinary case, The Commercial Bank's security and value of its lien is not
threatened, except through bankruptcy or loss of value of the collateral should
sale result in insufficient proceeds to satisfy the judgment.

PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following data has been adjusted to reflect the August 31, 1998,
acquisition of The Commercial Bank by ComBanc, Inc. wherein each one of the
existing 1,188,000 outstanding shares of the Bank's common stock was exchanged
for two of ComBanc, Inc.'s common shares, resulting in 2,376,000 outstanding
shares.
The common stock of the Company, and of the Bank preceding formation of
the Company, trades infrequently and is not traded on any established securities
market. Parties interested in buying or selling the Company's stock are
generally referred to McDonald and Company, Lima, Ohio. For 1999 and 1998, bid
and ask quotations were obtained from McDonald and Company which makes a limited
market in the Company's stock. The quotations reflect the prices at which
purchases and sales of common shares could be made during each period and not
inter-dealer prices.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, notes and tables included elsewhere in this report.
Throughout the following sections, the "Company" refers to ComBanc Inc. only,
while the "Bank" refers to The Commercial Bank.
On August 31, 1998 the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, a one bank-holding company. The bank holding company form of
organization will increase the corporate and financial flexibility of the
business operated by the Bank through the combined business of the Bank and the
Company, such as increased structural alternatives in the area of the Company to
redeem its own stock, thereby creating an additional market in which the
shareholders could sell their stock.
A bank holding company can engage in certain bank-related activities in
which the Bank cannot presently engage; thus this reorganization will broaden
the scope of services which could be offered to the public.
Through December 31, 1999 the Company's only substantial asset was the
investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the remainder of this analysis will
concentrate on the Bank.
LINES OF BUSINESS
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, operates a
single line of business. The Bank is a full service bank chartered under the
laws of the State of Ohio and offers a broad range of loan and deposit products
to business and individual customers.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on
interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities, is the most significant component of The Commercial Bank's
earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and rates of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the volume of
interest-earning assets funded with low cost deposits, noninterest-bearing
deposits and shareholders' equity. The following table summarizes net interest
income for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME (continued)
The ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets
increased to 4.26 percent in 1999 from 4.25 percent in 1998 and 4.04% in 1997.
The following tables reflect the components of The Commercial Bank's
net interest income, setting forth, for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 and for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, (i) average assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity,
(ii) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense
incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, (iii) average yields earned on
interest-earning assets and average rates incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities, (iv) the net interest margin (i.e., the average yield earned on
interest-earning assets less the liabilities) and (v) the net yield on
interest-earning assets (i.e., net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets). Rates are computed on a tax-equivalent basis.
Non-accrual loans have been included in the average balances.

Net interest income may also be analyzed by segregating the volume and
rate components of income and expense. The following table presents an analysis
of increases and decreases in interest income and expense in terms of changes in
volume and interest rates during the two years ended December 31, 1999. Changes
not due solely to either a change in volume or a change in rate have been
allocated based on the respective percentage changes in average balances and
average rates.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses was $360,000 in 1999 and 1998 and
$1,778,000 in 1997. See "Summary of Credit Loss Experience". At December 31,
1999 the Bank's allowance for credit losses represented 1.14% of total loans
compared to 1.26% at December 31, 1998 and 1.30% at December 31, 1997.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income is an increasingly important source of revenue to the
Bank, as it continues to expand its offerings of bank-related financial
services. Noninterest income increased $191,500 or 42.9% in 1999 to $638,000
from 1998. Non-interest income increased $61,500 or 16.0% in 1998 to $447,000
from 1997. The primary noninterest income components are set forth below:
Securities gains in 1999 totaled $52,600 versus no gains on the sale of
securities in 1998 and $13,500 in 1997.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $39,000 or 11.8% in 1999 to
$365,500 from 1998 and increased $59,000 or 22.0% in 1998 to $327,000 from 1997
resulting from an increase in the number of accounts, primarily from the two
Lima offices.
Other income increased $100,000 or 83.6% in 1999 from the 1998 level to
$220,000. Other income increased $16,000 or 15.5% in 1998 from the 1997 level to
$120,000. This category is comprised of credit card income, credit life and
accident and health premiums, service fees on loans sold, and other charges and
fees and includes a $65,000 gain on the sale of real estate.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense includes costs, other than interest, that are incurred
in the operation of the Bank's business. Total noninterest expense increased
$521,000 or 11.3% in 1999 from 1998 to $5,140,000. As a percent of average
assets, the level of non-interest expense has increased from 2.42% in 1998 to
2.51% in 1999. Total non-interest expense increased $167,000 or 3.7% in 1998
from 1997 to $4,618,000. As a percent of average assets, the level of
non-interest expense has increased from 2.35% in 1997 to 2.42% in 1998. The
primary noninterest expense components are set forth below:
Employee expense increased $308,000 or 12.8% in 1999 from 1998 to
$2,715,000. Employee expense increased $161,000 or 7.1% in 1998 from 1997
to $2,407,000.
Net occupancy expense increased $70,000 during 1999 from 1998 to $321,000.
Net occupancy expense decreased $16,000 during 1998 from 1997 to $251,000.
Equipment expense decreased $12,000 or 4.8% in 1999 from 1998. Equipment
expense decreased $11,000 or 4.5% in 1998 from 1997.
Other expenses increased $155,000 or 9.1% in 1999 from 1998 to $1,870,000.
Other expenses increased $34,000 or 2.0% in 1998 from 1997 to $1,741,000.
INCOME TAXES
The currently payable provision for income taxes increased to $950,000 in
1999 from $910,000 in 1998 due primarily to an increase in the 1999 level of
income. The deferred tax provision increased to $46,000, from $20,000 in 1998
due to 1999 deductible loan losses in excess of the bank loan loss provision.
The effective income tax rates for 1999 and 1998 were 28.8% and 28.1%,
respectively.
The currently payable provision for income taxes increased to $910,000 in
1998 from $194,000 in 1997 due primarily to a decrease in deductible loan
losses, arising from the decreased 1998 level of charged off loans. The deferred
tax provision increased to $20,000, from $74,000 in 1997 due primarily to 1998's
deductible loan losses less than the book provision for loan loss. The effective
income tax rates for 1998 and 1997 were 28.1% and 18.0%, respectively.
-16-
17
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported
in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred
taxes related to the allowance for loan losses and unrealized gain or loss on
investment securities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the
future tax return consequences of those differences which will either be taxable
or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the
period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
ComBanc, Inc. files consolidated income tax return with its subsidiary.
LIQUIDITY
The liquidity of a banking institution reflects its ability to provide
funds to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to
take advantage of interest rate market opportunities. Funding of loan requests,
providing for liability outflows, and management of interest rate fluctuations
require continuous analysis in order to match the maturities of specific
categories of short-term loans and investments with specific types of deposits
and borrowings. Bank liquidity is thus normally considered in terms of the
nature and mix of the banking institution's sources and uses of funds.
For the Bank, the primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been
Federal Funds Sold and government securities. However, with the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, effective January 1, 1994,
the Bank's Available for Sale Investment Securities are available for liquidity
needs. At December 31, 1999, such securities amounted to $46.0 million, at
December 31, 1998 such securities amounted to $42.0 million, and at December 31,
1997 such securities amounted to $48.5 million. At December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, Federal Funds Sold amounted to $83 thousand, $2.7 million, and $11.3
million respectively.
Management considers its liquidity to be adequate to meet its normal
funding requirements.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the management of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management considers
interest rate risk to be the Bank's most significant market risk. Interest rate
risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net interest income of the Bank
as a result of changes in interest rates. Consistency in the Bank's earnings is
largely dependent on the effective management of interest rate risk. The Bank
manages its rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in net interest
margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates.
The difference between a financial institution's interest-sensitive assets
(i.e., assets which will mature or reprice within a specific time period) and
interest-sensitive liabilities (i.e. liabilities which will mature or reprice
within the same time period) is commonly referred to as its "gap" or "interest
rate sensitivity gap". An institution having more interest rate sensitive assets
than interest rate sensitive liabilities within a given time period is said to
have "positive gap"; an institution having more interest rate sensitive
liabilities than interest rate sensitive assets within a given time period is
said to have a "negative gap."
The following table sets forth the cumulative maturity distributions as of
December 31, 1999 of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, its interest rate sensitivity gap, cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap for such assets and liabilities, and cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. This table
indicates the time periods in which certain interest-earning assets and certain
interest-bearing liabilities will mature or may reprice in accordance with their
contractual terms.
-17-
18
However, this table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general
interest rate movements on the Bank's net interest yield because the repricing
of various categories of assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject
to competition and other pressures. As a result, various assets and liabilities
indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact reprice at different
times and different rate levels. Subject to these qualifications, the table
reflects a negative gap for assets and liabilities maturing or repricing in
2000.

interest rate sensitivity position.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by its primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB).
Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by regulators, that if
undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Company and the
consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to
qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and
other factors.
-18-
19
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total
risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the
regulations), and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of December 31, 1999 that the Bank meets all the capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1999 the most recent notification from the FRB, the
Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank
will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1
leverage ratios as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification
that management believes have changed either entity's capital category.
Management's objective is to maintain a capital portion at or above the "well
capitalized" classification under federal banking regulations. The Company's
total risk-adjusted capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 leverage
ratio were, 16.7%, 15.4%, and 10.7%, respectively at December 31, 1999. The
Bank's totals were 16.5%, 10.1%, and 7.0%, respectively, at December 31, 1999.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The effect of inflation on banks differs from the impact on non-financial
institutions. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have assets and liabilities
which may move in concert with inflation. This is especially true for banks with
a high percentage of rate-sensitive interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. A bank can reduce the impact by managing its rate sensitivity gap.
See "Asset/Liability Management" above.

Non-accrual loans are comprised principally of loans 90 days past due, as
well as certain loans which are current but where serious doubt exist as to the
ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms. Interest previously
accrued on non-accrual loans and not yet paid is charged against the Reserve for
Loan Loss at the time the loan is charged off. Interest earned thereafter is
only included in income to the extent that it is received in cash. The amount of
interest income collected and the amount of interest income that would have been
recorded during 1999 on loans based on non-accrual loans based on their original
terms was determined to be insignificant.
The Bank purchased certain lease receivables and extended loans with an
aggregate outstanding balance at December 31, 1999 and 1998 of $525,000 and
$535,000 to The Bennett Funding Group, Inc. which remain subject to the Bennett
bankruptcy proceedings commenced in March, 1996. During 1997, a total of
$1,959,000 of Bennett loans were charged down. The bankruptcy judge has ruled
that the Bank is a secured creditor but this decision has been appealed by the
bankruptcy trustee. Due to the complexity of the remaining legal issues,
management and the Bank's legal counsel are currently unable to form an opinion
as to the likely outcome of the Bank's position with respect to the remaining
Bennett portfolio.

As of December 31, 1999, in the opinion of management, the Bank did not
have any concentration of loans to similarly situated borrowers exceeding 10% of
total loans. There were no foreseeable losses relating to other interest-earning
assets, except as discussed above.

Ratio of Allowance for Credit Losses to Total Loans 1.14% 1.26% 1.30% 1.60% 1.73%
The provision for credit losses reflects management's determination
regarding the adequacy of the allowance, based upon its analysis of the loan
portfolio (including the increased size and change in the mix of the loan
portfolio) and general economic conditions. As noted in "Loan Portfolio", during
1997, loans to The Bennett Funding Group and related entities amounting to
$1,959,000 were charged off. In reviewing the adequacy of the year end
allowance, management determined a needed 1999 and 1998 provision in the amount
of $360,000 and $1,778,000 for 1997.
The Bank evaluates the adequacy of allowance for credit losses on a
quarterly basis. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by evaluating
potential losses in the loan portfolio. Evaluation of these potential losses
includes a review of the current financial status and credit standing of
borrowers and their prior history, an evaluation of available collateral, a
review of loss experience in relation to outstanding loans, and management's
judgment as to prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, among other
relevant factors.
Mortgage loans, including construction loans, approximate 72.7% and 69.0%
of total loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Collateral evaluations and the
historical data of the Bank's mortgage loan losses are used to determine the
amount necessary for the allowance for credit losses.
-24-

A significant portion (13.1% in 1999 and 17.7% in 1998) of the Bank's loan
portfolio is installment and credit card loans. A thorough credit examination is
done at the time of the extension of credit. The historical data of the Bank's
consumer loan losses plus the Bank's ongoing credit evaluations on existing
loans are used to determine the necessary amount for the Bank's allowance for
credit losses.
The remaining portion (14.2% in 1999 and 13.3% in 1998) of the loan
portfolio is composed of commercial loans. Personal and business financial
status, credit standing, and available collateral of commercial borrowers are
evaluated with great care. These evaluations plus management's judgment as to
prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and the historical data of the
Bank's commercial loan losses are taken into consideration when determining the
amount of the allowance for credit losses needed for commercial loans.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors
ComBanc, Inc.
Delphos, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of

consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
ComBanc, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for 1999, 1998, and 1997 in

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On April 13, 1998, shareholders of The Commercial Bank (the "Bank")
approved a Merger Agreement ("Agreement") pursuant to which ComBanc, Inc. (the
"Company") acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Bank as a result of the
exchange which became effective on August 31, 1998, the Bank survived as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and continues its operations as The
Commercial Bank. Under the terms of the Agreement, each one of the existing
outstanding shares of the Bank's common stock was exchanged for two of the
Company's common shares so that each existing shareholder of the Bank became a
shareholder of the Company, owning the same percentage of shares in the Company
as the Bank.
Since substantially the only asset of the Company is the investment in the
Bank, these financial statements reflect the consolidated activity for 1999 and
1998 compared with the Bank only for 1997. A reader of these financial
statements should refer to The Commercial Bank 1997 Form 10K.
Nature of Operations
The Commercial Bank operates under a State Bank Charter and
provides full banking services. As a State Bank, the Bank is subject to
regulation of The State of Ohio, The Federal Reserve and The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The area served by The Commercial Bank is West Central
Ohio and services are provided through offices in Delphos, Gomer, Elida and
Lima, Ohio.
Investment Securities
The Bank's investment securities are classified as Available for
Sale. Securities held to maturity are those for which the Bank has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are stated at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are
recognized as adjustments to interest income. Securities available for sale are
those securities not classified as trading securities nor as securities to be
held to maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities
available for sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of
shareholders' equity until realized. Gains or losses on dispositions are based
on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold,
using the specific identification method.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an
allowance for possible loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated by using the
simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses
when management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. The
allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
December 31, 1999
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management
believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection
efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful.
Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest
payments are not anticipated in accordance with the contractual loan terms.
Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for
loan losses is allocated to impaired loans. If these allocations cause the
allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as a
component of the provision for loan losses.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Building and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation, computed on the straight line and declining balance methods over
the estimated useful lives. Expenditures, for betterments and renewals, which
extend useful lives, are capitalized. Gains and losses on retirements and
disposals are included in net income.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions
reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related to the allowance for loan losses and the unrealized gain
or loss on investment securities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities
represent the future tax return consequences of those differences which will
either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates
applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes. ComBanc, Inc. files consolidated income tax return with its
subsidiary.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in banks
and Federal Funds Sold, generally for only one day periods. All accounts have
original maturities of three months or less.
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.

Net Income Per Share
Net income per share of common stock has been computed on the basis
of weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The 1997
amounts have been restated to reflect the 2,376,000 shares outstanding as a
result of the formation of ComBanc, Inc.

management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable
features. The aggregate amount of loans to such related parties at December 31,

Note 10 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Bank 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 consist primarily of commitments to
extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or
notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank
has in particular classes of financial instruments.
At December 31, 1999, the Bank had commitments to customers for
$757,200 of standby letters of credit and $13,777,418 of loan commitments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
-42-
43
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
Note 10 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (continued)
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
be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash
requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit-worthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Bank
upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty.
Note 11 - Concentration of Credit
Substantially all of the Bank's loans, commitments, and commercial
and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's
market area. Investments in state and municipal securities also involve
governmental entities within the Bank's market area. The distribution of
commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding.
Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial
borrowers.
Note 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Bank is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal
course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes
that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not
be material to the Bank's financial position.
Note 13 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" which
requires disclosure of fair value information about both on and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value, effective for the 1995 financial statements. For many of the Bank's
financial instruments, however, an available trading market does not exist;
therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used to
determine fair values as described below. Changes in estimates and assumptions
could have a significant impact on these fair values.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accrued Interest - For cash and due from
banks, Federal Funds Sold and Accrued Interest, the carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities - Fair values for investment securities are based
on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.
Loans - The fair values for loans are estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using current rates being offered for loans of similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
Note 13 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments - (continued)
Deposit Liabilities - The fair values of noninterest bearing deposits,
savings, NOW and money market deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the
amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The carrying value of variable
rate, fixed-term time deposits and certificates of deposit approximate their
fair values. For fixed-rate certificates of deposit, fair values are estimated
using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other Borrowed Money - Rates currently available to the Bank for debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of
existing debt.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the
Bank's financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998:

Note 14 - Federal Home Loan Bank Line of Credit
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and at
December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, had a line of credit in
the amount of $35,000,000 and $25,000,000. Outstanding borrowings at December
31, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $23,002,947 and $3,500,000 respectively. Any
borrowings under this type of line will be secured by FHLB stock and mortgages
owned by the Bank totaling 150% of the outstanding borrowings. The Bank has the
option of selecting from both variable and fixed rate loan products.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati
with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.56% to 6.94% for 1999 and from 4.21% to
4.56% for 1998 mature in the year ending December 31 as follows:

Note 15 - Regulatory Matters
The Bank 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's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amount 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 to maintain minimum amounts and ratios 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, 1999, that the Bank meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the
Federal Reserve categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized
the Bank must maintain certain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and
Tier I leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.
