NOTE D - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank”) are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators. If undertaken, these actions could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt

-14-

corrective action, the Company and State Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts 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 Company and State Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company and State Bank exceeded all “well-capitalized” requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification to the regulators categorized State Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, State Bank must maintain capital ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed State Bank’s categorization as well capitalized.

The Company’s consolidated, and State Bank’s actual, capital amounts (in millions) and ratios, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, are also presented in the following table. On March 24, 2007, Exchange Bank was merged with and into the lead bank, State Bank.

NOTE E - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE F - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets: an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (FAS 140 and FAS 156). FAS 140 establishes, among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends FAS 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted SFAS No. 156. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not become aware of any liability for uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in the financial statements.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and multiple-state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits us to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (i.e. the Fair Value Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If we elect the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, we will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in their fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

-16-

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Prior to the issuance of FAS 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in several accounting pronouncements. FAS 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under FAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. While FAS 157 does not add any new fair value measurements, it does change current practice. Changes to practice include: (1) a requirement for an entity to include its own credit standing in the measurement of its liabilities; (2) a modification of the transaction price presumption; (3) a prohibition on the use of block discounts when valuing large blocks of securities for broker-dealers and investment companies; and (4) a requirement to adjust the value of restricted stock for the effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one year. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FAS 157 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion by the EITF on EITF Issue 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance). The issue requires policy holders to consider other amounts included in the contractual terms of an insurance policy, in addition to cash surrender value, for purposes of determining the amount that could be realized under the terms of the insurance contract. If it is probable that contractual terms would limit the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract, those contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. The amount that could be realized under the insurance contract should be determined on an individual policy (or certificate) level and should include any amount realized on the assumed surrender of the last individual policy or certificate in a group policy.

The Company holds several life insurance policies, however, the policies do not contain any provisions that would restrict or reduce the cash surrender value of the policies. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The application of this guidance did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK

As of June 30, 2007, loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaled $64,818,000, standby letters of credit totaled $367,000 and no commercial letters of credit were outstanding.

NOTE H - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking and data processing operations. On March 24, 2007, The Exchange Bank and Reliance Financial Services, N.A. were merged with and into the lead bank, The State Bank and Trust Company. Due to this merger, the segment reporting as of June 30, 2006 has been restated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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. Examples of forward-looking statements include: (a) projections of income or expense, earnings per share, the payments or non-payments of dividends, capital structure and other financial items; (b) statements of plans and objectives of the Company or our management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; (c) statements of future economic performance; and (d) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying those statements. 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. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the competitive environment, and changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting bank holding companies. Additional detailed information concerning a number of important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is available in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the disclosure under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect unanticipated events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made.

Overview of Rurban

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 describes the significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of the Company’s financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, or complex.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management’s estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.

The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted

-23-

for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan’s observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate.

Regardless of the extent of the Company’s analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the subjective nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are also factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company’s evaluation of imprecise risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. To the extent that actual results differ from management’s estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that could adversely impact earnings for future periods.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles - The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line or accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition. A decrease in earnings resulting from these or other factors could lead to an impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings of future periods.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

Net Income: Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $785,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $714,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006. This quarterly increase in net income was driven by a $1.5 million increase in non-interest income offset by an increase of $89,000 in provision expense, a reduction of $80,000 in net interest income along with a $985,000 increase in non-interest expense. The primary driver of the increase in non-interest income is data processing fees generated from the acquisition of DCM. The $985,000 increase in non-interest expense is likewise due to the acquisition of DCM. The acquisition of DCM was completed in September of 2006.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income was $3.8 million, down $80,000 or 2.1 percent, from the 2006 second quarter. Average earning assets decreased $5.6 million or 1.2 percent over the 12-month period. The decrease in earning assets is a result of the balance sheet restructuring that the Company

completed at the end of 2006. Loan growth over the past twelve months was $21.8 million, or 5.9 percent, reaching $381.7 million at June 30, 2007; this growth was entirely organic. Nearly 70 percent of State Bank’s loan portfolio is commercial, and virtually all of the Bank’s growth was derived from this sector. Loan growth accelerated during the second quarter of 2007, increasing $8.4 million, or 9 percent annualized, from the first quarter of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, loans were $11.6 million higher than year-end, with commercial loan growth leading the way. Year-over-year, the net interest margin decreased 6 basis points from 3.25 percent for the second quarter 2006 to 3.19 percent for the second quarter 2007. The 3.19 percent represents a 15 basis point increase from the linked quarter of 3.04 percent. This increase is again a result of the balance sheet restructuring that the Company completed at the end of 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses was $146,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to a $56,000 provision for the second quarter of 2006. The Company experienced minimal losses in the 2007 second quarter, which is reflected in net charge-offs of $90,000 compared to $33,000 of net recoveries in the 2006 second quarter. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was 0.09 percent annualized. At quarter end, consolidated non-performing assets, including those of RFCBC (the loan workout subsidiary), were $6.0 million, or 1.09 percent of total assets compared with $5.9 million, or 1.07 percent of total assets for the prior-year second quarter. The increase in non-performing assets in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007 was due to three commercial credits that have been adequately reserved. The loss associated with these three credits is expected to be less than $50,000. The following asset quality ratios as of the end of their respective periods demonstrate the decrease in the provision:

($ in Thousands)	June 30, 2007	March 31, 2007	June 30, 2006
Net charge-offs	$90	$41	$(33)
Non-performing loans	5,913	4,103	5,479
OREO / OAO	84	9	430
Non-performing assets	5,997	4,112	5,909
Non-performing assets / Total assets	1.09%	.75%	1.07%
Allowance for loan losses / Total loans	1.00%	1.01%	1.23%
Allowance for loan losses / Non-performing assets	63.8%	91.6%	75.1%

Non-interest Income: Non-interest income was $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared with $5.3 million for the prior-year second quarter, an increase of $1.2 million, or 23.5 percent. The increase was primarily driven by data processing fees, as they increased $1.3 million. DCM, which was acquired by RDSI in September of 2006, provided $1.1 million of this increase. Rurban's data processing subsidiary accounts for approximately $4.6 million, or 70.8 percent of non-interest income. Excluding the $1.1 million in DCM revenue, non-interest income increased $128,000, or 2.4 percent and was driven by organic growth within RDSI. Gains on sales of loans increased as well, as approximately $2.0 million in Ag Real Estate loans were sold during the quarter for an $88,000 gain.

-25-

Non-interest Expense: Non-interest expense was $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $985,000, or 12.2 percent, from the year-earlier quarter. Included in the second quarter 2007 operating results are $1.0 million of DCM operating expense. The acquisition of DCM took place in September 2006, so there were no corresponding DCM expenses in the second quarter, 2006. In comparison to the first quarter, operating expenses decreased $235,000, or 2.5 percent, despite additional expense within the data processing segment. Salaries and benefit expense declined 4.8 percent as a result of the Company’s efforts to reduce staff through the consolidation of its back office staff and other operational activities coinciding with the merger of The Exchange Bank into The State Bank and Trust Company.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Net Income: Rurban Financial Corp. had net income of $1.5 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.2 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This represents a $251,000, or 20.3 percent, increase in comparison of the six-month periods. Significant changes from period to period include a decrease in net interest income of $351,000, a $3.0 million increase in non-interest income and a $2.3 million increase in non-interest expense. The increase in non-interest income and non-interest expense is primarily due to the September 2006 acquisition of DCM, which provided $2.2 million of income and $2.0 million of expense.

Net Interest Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income was $7.3 million, a decrease of $351,000, or 4.6 percent, from the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of a 20 basis point decrease in the year-to-date net interest margin. The banking industry as a whole has experienced margin compression throughout the past year. The Corporation’s earning assets have grown minimally over the past twelve months. The strategic decision to restructure the balance sheet is benefiting the corporation as the net interest margin has improved the past two quarters. As mentioned previously, the loan portfolio continues to grow and the liquidity provided by the reduction in investment securities has been used to fund this growth. Rurban continues to monitor opportunities to improve the margin through funding loans with lower yielding investments.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses was $238,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $302,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Non-interest Income: Non-interest income was $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Of the $3.0 million increase, DCM accounted for $2.2 million with RDSI contributing approximately $700,000. Excluding DCM’s contribution, non-interest income for the period increased $727,000, or 7.1 percent. Management continues to focus on fee income opportunities within the SBA and FSA programs. Gains on sale of loans increased $95,000 year-over-year. Trust fee income also increased from $792,000 to $866,000, as total trust assets managed reached a record high of $373 million.

Non-interest Expense: For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total non-interest expense was $18.4 million compared with $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This represents a $2.3 million, or 14.6 percent, increase period over period. Of the overall increase, salaries and benefits accounted for $929,000, equipment expenses increased $559,000, postage and delivery expenses increased $522,000 and professional fees were up $134,000. Again, the acquisition of DCM had a major role in the increases, as they accounted for $2.0 million of expenses that were not in the June 30, 2006 totals.

Changes in Financial Condition

June 30, 2007 vs. December 31, 2006

At June 30, 2007, total assets were $548.2 million, representing a decrease of $7.8 million or 1.4 percent, from December 31, 2006. The decline was primarily attributable to a decrease of $9.1 million, or 8.9 percent in available-for-sale securities and a $10.4 million, or 46.1 percent decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Total loans increased $11.6 million, or 3.1 percent during the six month period. The decrease in securities was due to several securities being called or matured, with those funds being used to fund loans. This in turn has improved the net interest margin, as the proceeds from lower yielding securities have been reinvested in higher yielding loans.

Year- over-year, average assets increased $4.4 million, or 0.8 percent. Loan growth over the past twelve months was approximately $21.8 million, or 6.1 percent, reaching $381.7 million at June 30, 2007; this growth was entirely organic. Virtually all of the growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio over this period was derived from the commercial sector. After a steady but slow first quarter resulting from both competitive factors and the priority given to merger activities during the preceding quarter, loan growth rebounded during the second quarter of 2007, growing at an annualized rate of nearly 9 percent.

At June 30, 2007, liabilities totaled $490.9 million, a decrease of $8.2 million since December 31, 2006. Of this decrease, significant changes included total deposits, which decreased $6.8 million (1.7 percent); notes payable, which decreased $1.5 million (56.5 percent); and other liabilities, which decreased $1.5 million (26.1 percent). Of the $8.2 million decrease in total deposits, time deposits decreased $12.2 million and demand deposits decreased $5.3 million during the period, while savings, interest checking and money market deposits increased $10.5 million. The decrease in time deposits was due to excess liquidity which allowed management to run off higher cost municipal deposits.

From December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, total shareholders’ equity increased $394,000, or 0.7 percent, to $57.3 million. Of this increase, retained earnings increased $884,000 which is the result of $1.5 million in net income less $603,000 in cash dividends to shareholders. Additional paid-in-capital increased $23,000 as the result of stock option expense incurred during the year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $364,000 as the result of a decrease in market value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio. The stock repurchase plan also reduced capital by $149,000 during the second quarter of 2007.

Capital Resources

At June 30, 2007, actual capital levels (in millions) and minimum required levels were as follows:

											Minimum Required
						Minimum Required					To Be Well Capitalized
						For Capital					Under Prompt Corrective
	Actual					Adequacy Purposes					Action Regulations
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio

Total capital (to risk weighted assets)
Consolidated	$	63.2		15.9	%	$	31.7		8.0	%	$	—		N/A
State Bank		48.1		12.5			30.7		8.0			38.4		10.0

Both the Company and State Bank were categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity relates primarily to the Company’s ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers’ withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest earning deposits in other financial institutions, securities available-for sale and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $105.9 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $125.5 million at December 31, 2006.

The Company’s residential first mortgage portfolio of $88.0 million at June 30, 2007 and $94.4 million at December 31, 2006, which can and has been used to collateralize borrowings, is an additional source of liquidity. At June 30, 2007, all eligible mortgage loans were pledged under a Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) blanket lien.

The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 follows.

The Company experienced positive cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Net cash provided from operating activities was $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Net cash flow from investing activities was $(5.2) million and $(32.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The changes in net cash from investing activities at June 30, 2007 included loan growth of $11.8 million, available-for-sale securities purchases totaling $15.4 million and purchases of premises equipment and software totaling $2.5 million. These cash payments were offset by $23.5 million in proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale securities. The changes in net cash from investing activities at June 30, 2006 included loan growth of $33.6 million, payment to the shareholders of Exchange Bancshares, Inc., which merged with the Company effective December 31, 2005, of $6.5

-28-

million and available-for-sale security purchases totaling $12.7 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from maturities and proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale securities totaling $5.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

Net cash flow from financing activities was $(7.3) million and $29.4 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 2007 financing activities included a $5.2 million increase in demand deposits, money market, interest checking and savings accounts, which was more than offset by a $12.2 million decrease in certificates of deposit and a $1.5 million decrease in notes payable. The net cash provided by financing activities at June 30, 2006 was primarily due to an increase in total deposits of $16.1 million, an increase in repurchase agreements of $11.4 million, a net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $8.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in fed funds purchases of $4.6 million.

Off-Balance-Sheet Borrowing Arrangements:

Significant additional off-balance-sheet liquidity is available in the form of FHLB advances, unused federal funds lines from correspondent banks, and the national certificate of deposit market.

Approximately $74.5 million of the Company’s $88.0 million residential first mortgage loan portfolio qualifies to collateralize FHLB borrowings and was pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements as of June 30, 2007. Based on the current collateralization requirements of the FHLB, approximately $19.7 million of additional borrowing capacity existed at June 30, 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had unused federal funds lines totaling $19.9 million from four correspondent banks. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $21.8 million in federal fund lines. Federal funds borrowed at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 totaled $1 million and $0, respectively.

The Company’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007 consisted of long-term debt obligations, other debt obligations, operating lease obligations and other long-term liabilities. Long-term debt obligations were comprised of FHLB advances of $21.0 million. Other debt obligations were comprised of Trust Preferred Securities of $20.6 million. The operating lease obligation is a lease on the State Bank operations building of $99,600 per year, the RDSI-North building of $162,000 per year, the new Northtowne branch of State Bank of $60,000 per year and the DCM Lansing and Indiana facilities which total $108,000 and $60,000, respectively, per year. Other long-term liabilities were comprised of time deposits of $225.6 million.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset liability management involves developing and monitoring strategies to maintain sufficient liquidity, maximize net interest income and minimize the impact that significant fluctuations in market interest rates would have on earnings. The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consists of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans, mortgage-backed securities, and securities available for sale) which are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). With the exception of loans, which are originated and held for sale, all of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading purposes. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. In addition, the Company has limited exposure to commodity prices related to agricultural loans. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant. The Company’s

-29-

financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. Interest rate risk is the Company’s primary market risk exposure; to a lesser extent, liquidity risk also impacts market risk exposure.

Interest rate risk is the exposure of a banking institution’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of results and profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risks at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest rate risk management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems, and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risks at prudent levels of consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and asset quality (when appropriate).

The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement on interest rate risk effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for managing interest rate risk, and serves as the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest rate risk management at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active Board of Director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive risk management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest rate risk.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate or long-term fixed rates and that those assets are funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income or possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a declining rate environment.

There are several ways an institution can manage interest rate risk including: 1) matching repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or investments; 2) selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; and 3) hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contacts, options on futures contracts, and other such derivative financial instruments can be used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management’s expertise to be effective. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments in the past.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2007. It does not present when these items may actually reprice. For loans receivable, securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the Company’s historical experience of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of loans and mortgage backed securities. For core deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based upon the Company’s historical experience, management’s judgment and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors. The current interest rates for core deposits have been assumed to apply for future periods in this table as the actual interest rates that will need to be paid to maintain these deposits are not currently known. Weighted average variable rates are based upon contractual rates existing at the reporting date.

At December 31, 2006		232,446			237,240			21,349			491,035
Increase (decrease)	$	(5,850	)	$	(1,112	)	$	376		$	(6,586	)

The above table reflects expected maturities, not expected repricing. The contractual maturities adjusted for anticipated prepayments and anticipated renewals at current interest rates, as shown in the preceding table, are only part of the Company’s interest rate risk profile. Other important factors include the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities (which takes into consideration loan repricing frequency, but not when deposits may be repriced) and the general level and direction of market interest rates. For core deposits, the repricing frequency is assumed to be longer than when such deposits actually reprice. For some rate sensitive liabilities, their repricing frequency is the same as their contractual maturity. For variable rate loans receivable, repricing frequency can be daily or monthly. For adjustable rate loans receivable, repricing can be as frequent as annually for loans whose contractual maturities range from one to thirty years. While increasingly aggressive local market competition in lending rates has pushed loan rates lower, the Company’s increased reliance on non-core funding sources has restricted the Company’s ability to reduce funding rates in concert with declines in lending rates.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by the employment of strategies to assure that desired levels of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice with similar time frames. Such strategies include: 1) loans receivable which are renewed (and repriced) annually, 2) variable rate loans, 3) certificates of deposit with terms from one month to six years, 4) securities available for sale which mature at various times primarily from one through ten years, 5) federal funds borrowings with terms of one day to 30 days, and 6) FHLB borrowings with terms of one day to ten years.
