NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by Park National Corporation (the “Registrant”, “Corporation”, “Company”, or “Park”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 from Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies and considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.
Park does not have any derivative financial instruments such as interest-rate swap agreements.
Note 2 — Acquisition and Intangible Assets
On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock options of Vision Bancshares, Inc. (“Vision”) for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937 shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share. The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition was $109.0 million. The fair value of the acquired assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $624.4 million at March 9, 2007.
Vision operated two bank subsidiaries (both named Vision Bank) which became bank subsidiaries of Park on March 9, 2007. One bank is headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama (“Vision Alabama”) and the other in Panama City, Florida (“Vision Florida”). These banks operate fifteen branch locations in the Gulf Coast communities in Alabama and in the Florida panhandle. The markets that the two Vision Banks operate in are expected to grow much faster than many of the non-metro markets in which Park’s subsidiary banks operate in Ohio. Management expects that the acquisition of the two Vision Banks will improve the future growth rate for Park’s loans and deposits.
Effective July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were consolidated under a single charter through the merger of Vision Alabama with and into Vision Florida, under the charter of Vision Florida.

The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over periods ranging from six to ten years. The amortization period for the Vision core deposit intangibles is six years. Management expects that the core deposit amortization expense will be $1.0 million for third quarter of 2007 and $975,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. During the second quarter of 2007, goodwill pertaining to the Vision acquisition increased by $232,000 as a result of finalized appraisals performed on land and buildings in Florida. The initial fair market values assigned to these land and buildings was higher than the finalized appraised values by $232,000.
Core deposit amortization expense is projected to be as follows for each of the following years:

Goodwill is evaluated on an annual basis for impairment and otherwise when circumstances warrant. Goodwill was evaluated during the first quarter of 2007, and no impairment charge was necessary.
Note 3 — Pending Branch Acquisition
On June 6, 2007, a national bank subsidiary of Park, The First-Knox National Bank of Mount Vernon (“First-Knox”), signed a definitive purchase and assumption agreement for the sale of the Millersburg, Ohio banking office (the “Millersburg branch”) of Ohio Legacy to First-Knox. First-Knox is to acquire substantially all of the loans administered at the Millersburg branch of Ohio Legacy and assume substantially all of the deposit liabilities relating to the deposit accounts assigned to the Millersburg branch, in each case as of the effective time of the closing of the transaction, which is expected to be late in the third quarter of 2007. Based on March 31, 2007 financial information, loans to be acquired approximate $42 million and deposit liabilities to be acquired approximate $28 million.
Note 4 — Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

Table of Contents

Commercial loans are individually risk graded. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral and other sources of cash flow. Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment loans, residential mortgage loans and automobile leases are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions, loan delinquency and other environmental factors.
The following table shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007 options to purchase 541,829 and 424,558 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the option exercise price exceeded the fair value of the stock such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2006 options to purchase 439,669 and 435,060 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share due to the same anti-dilutive effect as those disclosed for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, the tax equivalent yield on the total investment portfolio was 5.06% and the average maturity was 4.5 years. U.S. Government Sponsored Entities’ asset-backed securities comprised approximately 80% of the total investment portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2007. This segment of the investment portfolio consists of fifteen-year mortgage-backed securities and fifteen-year collateralized mortgage obligations.
The average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen if long-term interest rates would increase as the principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations would be reduced. Management estimates that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen to 4.7 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term interest rates and to 4.8 years with a 200 basis point increase in long-term interest rates. Conversely, management estimates that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would decrease to 3.4 years and 2.5 years respectively, with a 100 basis point and 200 basis point decrease in long-term rates.
Note 10 — Other Investment Securities
Other investment securities consist of stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. These restricted stock investments are carried at their amortized costs.

Note 11 — Benefit Plans
Park has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan provides benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.
Park’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Management does not expect to make a pension plan contribution in 2007. A pension plan contribution of $9,117,417 was paid during the first quarter of 2006.

Note 12 — Income Taxes
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48),” which prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The benefit recognized for a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria is measured based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized, taking into consideration the amounts and probabilities of the outcome upon settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on disclosures and other issues. Effective January 1, 2007, Park adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on the financial statements. As a result, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN 48. As of January 1, 2007, Park had provided a liability of $789,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. Park recognizes interest and penalties through the income tax provision. The total amount of interest and penalties on the date of adoption was $76,000. Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next two quarters. Park is no longer subject to examination by federal taxing authorities for the year 2002 and the years prior.
Note 13 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The fair value option permits companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent changes in fair value must be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted, however, we will adopt SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on Park’s financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on Park’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

In July 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of FASB issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. This draft abstract from EITF reached a consensus that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. The Task Force concluded that a liability for the benefit obligation under SFAS No. 106 has not been settled through the purchase of an endorsement type life insurance policy. In September 2006, FASB agreed to ratify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 06-04. This new accounting standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. At June 30, 2007, Park and its subsidiary banks owned $118 million of bank owned life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are generally subject to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. These arrangements were designed to provide a pre-and postretirement benefit for senior officers and directors of Park and its subsidiary banks. Park’s management has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-4 on Park’s financial statements. Without an adjustment to the postretirement benefits provided by the endorsement split-dollar life insurance agreements, Park’s management has concluded that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-4 may have a material impact on Park’s financial statements.
Note 14 — Subsequent Event
On July 30, 2007, Park announced a plan to review current processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency by converting to one operating system. One outcome of this initiative will be the combination of the eight banking charters in Ohio into one national bank charter. Functions to be reviewed as part of this project include, but are not limited to: compliance, regulatory reporting, accounting, product development, data processing, and loan and deposit operations. The cost of the data conversion involved with combining charters and creating one operating system is still being negotiated by management. It is anticipated that using a common operational platform and centralizing certain functions will result in expense reduction caused by having fewer operational support positions over the next two years. However, specific reduction in employment has not been determined at this time.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include without limitation, Park’s ability to execute its business plan, Park’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into Park’s operations, Park’s ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and revenue synergies from acquisitions, changes in general economic and financial market conditions, Park’s ability to execute its plan to convert to one operating system, changes in interest rates, changes in the competitive environment, changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries, changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies, demand for loans in the respective market areas served by Park and its subsidiaries, and other risk factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Park considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgement and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and of current economic conditions. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including expected default probabilities, loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and the current economic conditions. All of those factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact earnings for future periods.

Table of Contents

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgement than most other significant accounting policies. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment assessment of goodwill. At June 30, 2007, Park had core deposit intangibles of $16.7 million subject to amortization and $181.4 million of goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s banking subsidiaries to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value of $181.4 million is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. SFAS No. 142 requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment. This evaluation was performed during the first quarter of 2007 and no impairment charge was deemed necessary.

Summary Discussion of Results
Net income decreased by $376,000 or 1.6% to $23.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $23.9 million for the same period in 2006. For the first half of 2007, net income decreased $3.1 million or 6.5% to $44.6 million from $47.7 million for the same period in 2006. The annualized net income to average asset ratio (ROA) was 1.51% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 1.78% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The annualized net income to average equity ratio (ROE) was 14.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 14.66% for the first six months of 2007 compared to 17.89% and 17.77%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006.
Diluted earnings per share decreased by 4.7% to $1.62 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1.70 for the same period in 2006. Diluted earnings per share decreased by 8.3% to $3.11 for the first six months of 2007 compared to $3.39 for the same period in 2006.

The acquisition of Vision on March 9, 2007 contributed to the increases in net interest income, other income, and other expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. At the same time, net interest income was reduced as a result of the cash payment to Vision shareholders and the assumption of debt from the Vision acquisition, which occurred on March 9, 2007.
Net Interest Income Comparison for the Second Quarter of 2007 and 2006
Park’s principal source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. Net interest income increased by 12.2% to $60.4 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $53.8 million for the same period in 2006. Vision contributed $8.3 million in net interest income during the second quarter of 2007, but also reduced net interest income at Park by $1.4 million due to cash paid and debt assumed at the time of the acquisition. Without the Vision acquisition, net interest income would have decreased by $240,000, or .4%. The following table compares the average balance sheet and tax equivalent yield/cost for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2007 with the same quarter in 2006.

due to the $757.4 million increase in average loans for the quarter, offset by an $82.1 million decrease in average taxable investments.
Average loans increased by 22.7% or $757.4 million to $4,095 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3,337 million for the same period in 2006. The average loans for the Vision banks is $601.9 million for the second quarter of 2007 and loans purchased as part of the Anderson acquisition in December 2006 were $52 million at December 31, 2006. Loans outstanding were $4,125 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $3,481 million at December, 31 2006. Excluding the effect of the Vision acquired loans, loans have increased $29 million since December 31, 2006, or 1.7% annualized. With the help of the acquired Vision banks, management anticipates loans to increase approximately $80 million for the second half of 2007.

The average yield on the loan portfolio was 8.19% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 7.61% for the same quarter in 2006. The average Prime Rate, which moves in lock step with the federal funds rate, has increased by 34 basis points since the second quarter average in 2006. The acquisition of the Vision loan portfolio also contributed to the increase. The yield on Vision loans has averaged 9.33% since the acquisition on March 9, 2007. Management expects that the average yield on the loan portfolio will be relatively flat for the rest of 2007. This projection assumes that the federal funds rate will remain at 5.25% for the remainder of 2007.
Average investment securities, including money market instruments, were $1,560 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1,642 million for the second quarter of 2006.

Management has reduced the amount of purchases of investment securities during the past six quarters due to the small spread between the yield on investment securities that Park purchases and the federal funds rate. As indicated in the above table, the spread between the average federal funds rate and the average rate on a five year U.S. Treasury security has been inverted for the past four quarters. Typically, the investments purchased by Park yield 50 to 75 basis points more than a five year U.S. Treasury security. Park purchased $165 million of short-term U.S. Government Sponsored Entities’ securities during the second quarter of 2007 at a yield of about 5.22%.
The average yield on taxable investment securities was 4.98% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 4.91% for the same period in 2006. The tax equivalent yield on tax exempt investment securities was 6.61% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 7.06% for the same period in 2006. No tax exempt investment securities were purchased during the past year.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $696.6 million or 17.0% to $4,790 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4,094 million for the same period in 2006. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 3.55% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2.89% for the same period in 2006.
Average interest bearing deposits increased by $655.2 million or 20.7% to $3,815 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $3,160 million for the same period in 2006. The average cost of these deposits increased to 3.34% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2.49% for the same period in 2006. The Vision banks had average interest bearing deposits for the second quarter of 2007 of $541.3 million, with an average cost of 4.8%. Excluding Vision, the remainder of the increase came from interest bearing demand accounts and certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit increased to 4.50% for the second quarter of 2007 from 3.54% for the same period in 2006.
Average total borrowings were $975.0 million for the second quarter of 2007, with an average cost of 4.38% compared to $933.6 million for the same period in 2006, with an average cost of 4.23%.
The net interest spread (the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities) decreased by 10 basis points to 3.78% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 3.87% for the same period in 2006. The tax equivalent net interest margin (defined as net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) decreased by 6 basis points to 4.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to 4.38% for the same period in 2006. The increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits to 3.34% for the quarter, from 2.49% for the same period in 2006, was greater than the increase in the yield of 8.19% on loans for the quarter, compared to 7.61% for the same period in 2006.

The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans was 1.94% at June 30, 2007 compared to 2.03% at December 31, 2006 and 2.07% at June 30, 2006. Nonperforming loans, defined as loans that are 90 days past due, nonaccrual and renegotiated loans were $42.4 million or 1.03% of loans at June 30, 2007, $40.6 million or 0.99% of loans at March 31, 2007, $32.9 million or 0.95% of loans at December 31, 2006, and $29.1 million or 0.86% of loans at June 30, 2006. Nonaccrual loans have increased by $19.3 million during the first six months of 2007. Approximately $6.5 million of this increase is due to nonaccrual loans from the two Vision banks at June 30, 2007. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2007, Park’s management strengthened the guidelines on when nonperforming loans are placed onto nonaccrual status. Nonaccrual loans only increased $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2007.
Park’s annualized net loan charge-off ratio for the past five years has been 0.12% for 2006, 0.18% for 2005, 0.28% for 2004, 0.43% for 2003, and 0.48% for 2002. Management expects that the annualized net loan charge-offs ratio for the last half of 2007 will be between 0.25% and 0.35% of average loans.
In addition, management expects the loan loss provision to be between $2.6 million and $3.6 million for each of the last two quarters of 2007.

The increase in total other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to service charges on deposit accounts, check card and ATM fee income, and other income.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $963,000 to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and increased $1,347,000 to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Vision contributed $469,000 and $575,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The remainder of the increase is due to the increase in NSF (non-sufficient funds) charges.
Check card and ATM fee income has increased $449,000 to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and increased $758,000 to $4.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Vision contributed $112,000 and $138,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
Other income increased $620,000 to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and increased $722,000 to $4.6 million for the first half of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Net gains from the sale of OREO properties were $600,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $672,000 for the first half of 2007.
Management has projected that other income will decrease slightly for the third and fourth quarters of 2007.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Securities
There were no sales of securities during the first half of 2007 and 2006.

Total Other Expense
Total other expense increased by $7.6 million or 21.9% to $42.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2006. Total other expense increased $11.9 million or 17.1% to $81.8 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $69.9 million for the same period in 2006. Vision contributed $5.7 million and $7.1 million to total other expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
Excluding the impact of the Vision bank acquisition on March 9, 2007, salaries and benefits have increased $1.7 million or 8.6% for the second quarter 2007 and increased $3.3 million or 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Salaries (excluding the impact of the Vision acquisition) increased $986,000 or 6.0% and $2.0 million or 6.4% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. Benefits (excluding the impact of the Vision acquisition) increased $703,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employees were 2,076 at June 30, 2007 compared to 1,877 at June 30, 2006. The two Vision banks had 184 FTE at June 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of Vision, FTE would have been 1,892 at June 30, 2007, which is a 0.8% increase over the last twelve months. Management expects salaries and benefits expense to be $24.3 million for each of the next two quarters.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses remained fairly consistent (excluding the effect of the Vision acquisition on March 9, 2007) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The other expense category (excluding the effect of the Vision acquisition on March 9, 2007) increased by $1.4 million or 6.0% to $24.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, which was due to increases in data processing, legal expenses, and supplies.
Management anticipates that total other expenses will remain flat in the third quarter and increase slightly into the fourth quarter of 2007.
Income Tax
Income tax expense was $10.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to $9.9 million and $19.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The effective income tax ratio (income tax expense divided by income before taxes) was 29.8% and 29.3%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to 29.4% and 29.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory rate is primarily due to tax exempt interest income from state and local tax exempt entities and low income housing credits.
The two Vision banks are subject to state income tax in the states of Alabama and Florida. State income tax expense was $158,594 and $197,294, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
Park and its subsidiary banks headquartered in Ohio do not pay state income tax to the state of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on their year-end equity. State tax expense for Park and its subsidiary banks headquartered in Ohio was $700,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to $693,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. Franchise tax expense is included in other expense.

Total assets increased by $772.7 million or 14.1% to $6,244 million at June 30, 2007 from $5,471 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks had total assets (including goodwill) of $833.4 million at June 30, 2007.
Total investment securities decreased by $15.9 million or 1.0 % to $1,498 million at June 30, 2007 from $1,513 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks had investment securities of $37.2 million at June 30, 2007.
Total loans increased by $644.8 million or 18.5% to $4,125 million at June 30, 2007 from $3,481 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks had loans of $615.7 million at June 30, 2007, which is a $20 million increase in their loans since the acquisition date of March 9, 2007. Excluding the impact of the two Vision banks, loans would have increased by $29.1 million or 1.69% annualized.
Total liabilities increased by $715.7 million or 14.6% to $5,616 million at June 30, 2007 from $4,900 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks had combined total liabilities of $646.6 million at June 30, 2007, which makes up 90% of the increase year to date.
Total deposits increased $714.9 million or 18.7% to $4,540 million at June 30, 2007 from $3,826 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks make up $638 million of this increase. The remainder of the increase was due to an increase in interest bearing demand deposits, which was partially offset by a decrease in noninterest bearing demand deposits.
Total borrowed money increased by $33.2 million or 3.3% to $1,013 million at June 30, 2007 from $979.9 million at December 31, 2006. The two Vision banks make up $7.3 million of this increase.
Total stockholders’ equity has increased by $57 million or 10.0% to $627.4 million at June 30, 2007 from $570.4 million at December 31, 2006. Common stock increased by $83.3 million during the first six months due to the issuance of 792,937 shares for the acquisition of the Vision banks on March 9, 2007. Retained earnings increased by $18.1 million from a combination of earnings during the first six months of $44.6 million offset by dividends declared of $26.5 million. Treasury stock increased by $35.3 million for the first six months of the year due to common stock repurchases of 397,931 shares for $35.6 million, offset by $296,000 for treasury stock reissued for stock options. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $9.1 million to $31.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $22.8 million at December 31, 2006. Long-term interest rates, using monthly averages, have increased during the first six months of the year. The 5 and 10 year treasury monthly averages at June 2007 were 5.03% and 5.10%, respectively, compared to 4.53% and 4.56% for December 2006.
The increase or decrease in the investment securities portfolio and short-term borrowings and long-term debt is greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations is not sufficient to do so.

Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 66.08% at June 30, 2007 compared to 63.6% at December 31, 2006 and 62.23% at June 30, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $183.8 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $186.3 million at December 31, 2006 and $195.7 million at June 30, 2006. The present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2007 was $627.4 million or 10.05% of total assets compared to $570.4 million or 10.43% of total assets at December 31, 2006 and $539.5 million or 9.97% of total assets at June 30, 2006.
Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is generally not included in computing regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 7.88% at June 30, 2007 and 9.96% at December 31, 2006. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 6%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.24% at June 30, 2007 and 14.72% at December 31, 2006. The minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 10%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.50% at June 30, 2007 and 15.98% at December 31, 2006.
The financial institution subsidiaries of Park each met the well capitalized ratio guidelines at June 30, 2007. The following table indicates the capital ratios for each subsidiary and Park at June 30, 2007.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 36 of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders (Table 12) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2006.
As described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q, Park completed its acquisition of Vision on March 9, 2007. An estimated purchase obligation of $90.4 million was included in Table 12 on page 36 of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders for this transaction. This obligation was paid to the shareholders of Vision as part of the closing of the acquisition. Park assumed the obligations of Vision and the two Vision Banks as part of the transaction. See page 21 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of the deposit liabilities and borrowings of the two Vision Banks at June 30, 2007.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
All of the subsidiary banks of Park are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.
The exposure to credit loss (for the subsidiary banks of Park) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Park (and all of its subsidiary banks) uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extended loan commitments to customers.
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk are as follows:
                 
(In Thousands)   June 30, 2007   December 31, 2006
Loan Commitments
  $ 1,191,880     $ 824,412  
Unused Credit Card lines
  $ 136,496     $ 140,100  
Standby Letters of Credit
  $ 27,944     $ 19,687  
The large increase in loan commitments is primarily due to the acquisition of Vision. The two Vision Banks are included in the June 30, 2007 amounts. The loan commitments are generally for variable rates of interest.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis by modeling the financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on pages 35 and 36 of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated by reference into Park’s 2006 Form 10-K.

-34-


Table of Contents

On page 35 (Table 11) of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, management reported that Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a negative (liabilities exceeding assets) $396 million or 7.92% of interest earning assets at December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap decreased to a negative (liabilities exceeding assets) $209 million or 3.64% of interest earning assets. This reduction in the negative twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap of $187 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Vision, as Vision had a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap position.
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve month horizon.
On page 36 of Park’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, management reported that at December 31, 2006, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by .1% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by .7% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At March 31, 2007, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 1.0% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 1.6% using a declining interest rate scenario. The primary reason for the change in the simulation results from year-end 2006 to March 31, 2007 is due to the acquisition of Vision. At June 30, 2007, management continues to believe that gradual changes in market interest rates (50 basis point change per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that:
  information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
 
  information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
 
  Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On April 16, 2007, the Park Board of Directors elected Brady T. Burt as its Chief Accounting Officer, which has enhanced Park’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no additional changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a — 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.

PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There are no pending legal proceedings to which Park or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject, except for routine legal proceedings to which Park’s subsidiary banks are parties incidental to their respective banking business. Park considers none of those proceedings to be material.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The following information updates certain of our risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in the 2006 Form 10-K. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described below or in the 2006 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We may face risks and uncertainties as we convert our Ohio-based community banking subsidiaries and divisions to one operating system and combine their charters.
On July 30, 2007, we announced our intention to consolidate the banking operations of our eight subsidiary banks located in Ohio under one charter — that of The Park National Bank, which will remain a national bank. In addition, we will create a single operating system for our 12 Ohio-based community banking subsidiaries and divisions, which will operate as divisions of The Park National Bank. Each community bank division will retain its local leadership, local decision-making and unique local identity. We anticipate that a single charter and common operating system will ease complex reporting procedures, reduce time and money spent on duplicated efforts, enhance risk management and strengthen each bank’s ability to provide more rapid responses and high-quality services. As we proceed with the combination of charters and conversion to one operating system we will face risks and uncertainties which must be addressed. These risks and uncertainties include, but may not be limited to: (1) the timing of receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals for the consolidation, which may be different than we anticipate; (2) difficulties we may encounter in the consolidation of the charters of our eight Ohio-based subsidiary banks with respect to product offerings, customer service, customer retention, reporting and enterprise risk management systems and realizing the anticipated operating efficiencies; and (3) the loss of key employees as we proceed with the consolidation.
Changes in economic and political conditions could adversely affect our earnings, as our borrowers’ ability to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing our loans decline.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. The substantial majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries are to individuals and businesses in Ohio or in Gulf Coast communities in Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Consequently, a significant decline in the economy in Ohio or in Gulf Coast communities in Alabama or the panhandle of Florida could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have no prior operating experience in the Alabama and Florida markets in which Vision Banks operate.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we and our subsidiaries operated 135 offices across 29 Ohio counties, one office in Kentucky, seven offices in one Alabama county and eight offices across four Florida counties. Park’s merger with Vision, which was effective as of 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 9, 2007, resulted in the expansion of our banking operations into the Alabama and Florida markets served by the two Vision Banks — one headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama (“Vision Alabama”) and the other in Panama City, Florida (“Vision Florida”). We have no prior operating experience in these markets and, therefore, will rely to a large extent on the existing Boards of Directors and management of Vision Alabama and Vision Florida with respect to their operations. We, together with Vision Alabama and/or Vision Florida, as appropriate, entered into employment agreements with the following executive officers of Vision Alabama and Vision Florida: J. Daniel Sizemore, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Vision and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Alabama and Vision Florida; William E. Blackmon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Vision and Vision Alabama; Andrew W. Braswell, Executive Vice President and Senior Lending Officer of Vision Alabama; Joey W. Ginn, President of Vision Florida; and Robert S. McKean, President of Vision Alabama; as well as seven other senior officers of Vision Alabama and Vision Florida. Each of these employment agreements, which became effective at the effective time of the merger, continues the executive officer’s or employee’s employment relationship with Vision Alabama or Vision Florida, as applicable, after the effective time of the merger for at least a three-year term. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain the services of these executive officers and employees of Vision Alabama and Vision Florida, or that we will be able to successfully manage the operations of the Vision Alabama and Vision Florida in the Alabama and Florida markets. Effective July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were consolidated under a single charter through the merger of Vision Alabama with and into Vision Florida, under the charter of Vision Florida. The resulting financial institution is a Florida state-chartered bank operating under the name “Vision Bank”.

The Park National Corporation 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Park on January 18, 2005 and was approved by the Park shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 18, 2005. Under the 2005 Plan, 1,500,000 common shares are authorized for delivery upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan. All of the common shares delivered upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are to be treasury shares. As of June 30, 2007, incentive stock options covering 207,480 common shares were outstanding and 1,292,520 common shares were available for future grants.
The Park National Corporation 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) was adopted April 17, 1995, and amended April 20, 1998 and April 16, 2001. Pursuant to the terms of the 1995 Plan, all of the common shares delivered upon exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 1995 Plan are to be treasury shares. No further incentive stock options may be granted under the 1995 Plan. As of June 30, 2007, incentive stock options covering 323,188 common shares were outstanding.

Incentive stock options, granted under both the 2005 Plan and the 1995 Plan, covering 530,668 common shares were outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and 1,292,520 common shares were available for future grants. With 906,802 common shares held as treasury shares for purposes of the 2005 Plan and 1995 Plan at June 30, 2007, an additional 916,386 common shares remain authorized for repurchase for purposes of funding the 2005 Plan and 1995 Plan.
(3)   On July 16, 2007, Park announced that its Board of Directors authorized management to purchase up to an aggregate of 1 million additional common shares over the three-year period ended July 15, 2010 in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions, to be held as treasury shares for general corporate purposes. This authorization is in addition to the previous authorization that continues to be in effect.
