NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by Park National Corporation (the "Registrant", "Corporation", 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 period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
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 balance sheet, condensed statement of income and statement of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation used for current periods.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
The Corporation's principal source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. Net interest income increased by $2.0 million or 12.6% to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $15.6 million for the first quarter of 1995. The following table indicates that the tax equivalent net interest margin (defined as net interest income divided by average earning assets) increased to 5.29% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 5.18% for the first quarter of 1995.

Average interest-earning assets increased by 9.2% to $1,346 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995. Net average loans outstanding increased by 3.1% to $992 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Average investment securities including money markets increased by 31.3% to $354 million in 1996 compared to $269 million in 1995. The growth in average net loans outstanding at 3.1% in 1996 is somewhat slower than the 12.5% loan growth rate in the first quarter of 1995. The primary reason for the slower growth in net average loan balances has been weaker loan demand. Excess funds generated from the growth of interest-bearing deposits, and not needed to fund loans, have increased average investment securities and money markets by 31.3%.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 7.0% to $1,147 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995. This increase was due to a 9.9% increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $1,026 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit which have been more attractive to customers due to higher interest rates being paid on these deposits.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the net interest spread was 4.66%. The increase of .33% in the yield on interest-earning assets to 8.98% was offset by the increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities by .33% to 4.32% for first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. However, the net interest margin improved to 5.29% in 1996 compared to 5.18% in 1995 due to both the increase in the amount of excess interest-earning assets and the increase in the yield on those assets to 8.98% from 8.65%.
The provision for loan losses increased by $95,000 or 10.4% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $910,000 for the same period in 1995. Net charge-offs were $201,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $16,000 for the same quarter in 1995. Non-performing loans, defined as loans that are 90 days past due, renegotiated loans and non-accrual loans, were $4.0 million or .39% of loans at March 31, 1996 compared to $4.5 million or .43% of loans at December 31, 1995 and $4.4 million or .44% of loans at March 31, 1995. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans was 2.54% at March 31, 1996 compared to 2.45% at December 31, 1995 and 2.25% at March 31, 1995.
Non-interest income increased by $292,000 or 8.6% to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to a $136,000 increase in non-yield loan fees which resulted from increased
originations and sales into the secondary market of fixed rate mortgage loans. Fees from fiduciary activities and service charges on deposits also increased in 1996 compared to 1995.
Investment security losses were $294,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to losses of $614,000 for the same period in 1995. In both 1996 and 1995, taxable investment securities were sold and the proceeds reinvested into taxable investment securities with slightly longer maturities. The average life of the taxable investment portfolio was approximately 3 years at both March 31, 1996 and 1995.
During the first quarter of 1996, longer-term taxable investment rates increased which resulted in the net unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale securities decreasing to $3.9 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 1995. If this trend of higher interest rates were to continue, the Corporation could realize additional investment security losses in 1996.
Total other expense increased by $901,000 or 8.9% to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 1995. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $386,000 or 7.6% to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. Full time equivalent employees were 686 atMarch 31, 1996 compared to 659 at March 31, 1995. Occupancy expense increased by $85,000 or 16.7% to $595,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the cost of snow removal in 1996 as a result of the severe winter.
The subcategory other expense which includes data processing expense, fees and service charges, marketing, telephone, postage, deposit insurance premiums, amortization of intangibles, and expenses pertaining to other real estate owned, increased by $393,000 or 9.9% to $4.4 million in 1996 compared to 1995. Increases in data processing expense, fees and service charges, and miscellaneous expense were partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance premiums.
Federal income tax expense was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 1995. The ratio of federal income tax expense to income before taxes was approximately 32% for both 1996 and 1995.
Net income increased by $1.1 million or 21.5% to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The annualized, first quarter net income to average assets ratio (ROA) was 1.68% in 1996 compared to 1.51% for the same period in 1995. The annualized, first quarter net income to average equity ratio (ROE) was 17.97% in 1996 compared to 17.46% in 1995.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR MARCH 31, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995
Total assets increased by $12.6 million or .9% to $1,489 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $1,476 million at December 31, 1995. Loan balances decreased by $4.9 million to $1,020 million while federal funds sold and investment securities increased by $40.4 million. Loan balances were 68.5% of total assets at March 31, 1996 compared to 69.4% at December 31, 1995 and 73.5% of total assets at March 31, 1995.
Total liabilities increased by $12.3 million or .9% to $1,352 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $1,340 million at December 31, 1995. This increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits and short-term borrowings which more than offset the decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits.
Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1996 was $136.8 million or 9.19% of total assets compared to $136.4 million or 9.24% at December 31, 1995 and $121.9 million or 8.98% of total assets at March 31, 1995.
Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios and well capitalized capital ratios for banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies. The unrealized net gain on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as stockholders' equity less intangible assets divided by assets less intangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 5%. Park's leverage capital ratio was 9.11% at March 31, 1996 and 8.91% at December 31, 1995. The minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio (defined at leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or equal to 6%. Park's Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 13.70% at March 31, 1996 and 13.35% at December 31, 1995. 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 14.97% at March 31, 1996 and 14.61% at December 31, 1995.
The financial institution subsidiaries of Park each met the applicable well capitalized capital ratio guidelines at March 31, 1996. The following table indicates the capital ratios for each subsidiary at March 31, 1996:
Tier I Total
Leverage Risk-Based Risk-Based

Park National Bank 7.84% 11.39% 12.66%
