                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

The Company, an Ohio corporation incorporated on February 25, 1997, is a bank
holding company that owns all of the capital stock of the Western Reserve Bank,
an Ohio state-chartered bank located in Medina, Ohio (the "Bank"). From the date
of the Company's inception through October 1998, the Company and the Bank
conducted no business other than matters incidental to their organization and
opening for business. On February 24, 1998, the Company commenced an initial
public offering (the "Offering") of up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 12, 1998, as amended. The Offering was
concluded on July 1, 1998. A total of 320,267 shares of the Company's common
stock were sold, with proceeds, net of offering costs, of $6,368,499.
Approximately $5,800,000 of the proceeds was used to provide initial
capitalization for the Bank. The Bank commenced business on November 6, 1998.

During 2000, the Company sold an additional 67,785 shares of common stock in an
intra-state offering exempt from the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section
3(a)(11) and Rule 147 promulgated thereunder. A registration statement was filed
with the Ohio Division of Securities on Form 6(A)(1) on September 11, 2000. The
Offering resulted in proceeds, net of offering costs, of approximately
$1,577,000.

The Company and the Bank currently maintain their offices at 4015 Medina Road,
Suite 100, Medina, Ohio 44256. The Company's telephone number is (330) 764-3131.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

In the past few years, many of the financial institutions in the Medina County
market area have been acquired by large regional organizations headquartered
outside of the area. As a result, the organizers believed that the competitive
and economic environment was right for a new, independent, locally owned and
managed bank to serve the financial needs of the residents and businesses in the
Medina area. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Currently, the only business the
Company is engaged in is the ownership of its wholly owned bank subsidiary,
Western Reserve Bank. However, in the future, the holding company structure
could provide flexibility for the expansion of the Company's business through
additional banking-related services which commercial banks are currently unable
to provide under current law.

The Bank offers a broad range of deposit services for consumers and businesses,
including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings
and money market accounts, time certificates of deposit and individual
retirement accounts. The Bank engages in a full line of lending activities,
including all types of commercial loans to businesses, consumer loans to
individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures, and real
estate loans including first mortgage loans, home equity loans and construction
loans. The Bank makes both fixed rate and variable rate residential mortgage
loans. Generally, the Bank keeps the variable rate and short-term fixed rate
mortgages in its portfolio, but sell substantially all of the long-term
fixed-rate loans (with servicing released) to a bank that specializes in serving
the community bank mortgage market. The Bank also offers other services,
including credit, debit and ATM cards with access to regional and national
automated teller networks, a courier service for business deposits, cash
management services, safe deposit boxes, cashiers checks, traveler's checks and
an ATM.

Under applicable law, the Bank is permitted to make loans to individual
borrowers in aggregate amounts of up to 15 percent of the sum of the Bank's
total capital and allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2000, the Bank's
legal lending limit was approximately $840,000. The Board of Directors has
established an "in-


                                  Page 2 of 24
<PAGE>   3


house" limit of $750,000. The Board may from time to time raise or lower the
"in-house" limit as it deems appropriate to comply with safe and sound banking
practices and respond to overall economic conditions. In December 2000, the
Bank's Board authorized an increase in the "in-house" limit to $1,000,000, to be
effective upon the Company's infusion of $1,500,000 capital to the Bank from the
proceeds from the Company's secondary offering. The Company believes that the
Bank's legal lending limit is adequate to satisfy the credit needs of most of
its clients. For credit needs that exceed the Bank's legal lending limit, the
Bank has the ability to participate with other banks to meet the credit need. In
such instances, the Bank intends to be the lead bank in the loan arrangement.

The Bank's market area is competitive. There are many commercial banks, savings
institutions and credit unions with multiple offices in the Bank's primary
service area of Medina County. Also, during 1999 and 2000, several banks and
savings institutions headquartered outside of Medina County acquired or opened
new branches in the Medina area. However, in the past few years, many of the
area's financial institutions have been acquired by large regional organizations
headquartered outside of the Medina area. As a result of such consolidation, the
organizers of the Company believed that the competitive and economic environment
was right for a new, independent, locally owned and managed bank such as Western
Reserve Bank to serve the financial needs of Medina area residents and
businesses. The rapid growth of the Bank in the 26 months since it opened has
confirmed that belief. The Bank also faces competition from finance companies,
insurance companies, mortgage companies, securities brokerage firms, money
market funds, loan production offices and other providers of financial services.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2000, the Bank has 16 full-time-equivalent employees (14
full-time and 7 part-time). None of its employees are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The Company considers its employee relations to be
excellent.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

GENERAL

Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated
under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of
the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and general
economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and
federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental
regulatory authorities including, but not limited to, the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"), the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the
"Division"), the Internal Revenue Service, the state taxing authorities and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The effect of such statutes,
regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high
degree of certainty.

Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial
institutions such as the Company and the Bank regulate, among other things, the
scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels
relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the
establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of
supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and the Bank establishes a
comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended
primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and the
depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.

The following references to material statutes and regulations affecting the
Company and the Bank are brief summaries thereof and do not purport to be
complete. As such, they are qualified in their entirety by reference to such
statutes and regulations. Any change in applicable law or regulations may have a
material effect on the business of the Company and the Bank.

THE COMPANY

GENERAL. The Company, as the sole stockholder of the Bank, is a bank holding
company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is
subject to regulation by, the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
(the "BHCA") as amended. In accordance with FRB policy, the Company is expected
to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to
support the Bank. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination
by the FRB and is required to file with the FRB periodic reports of its
operations and such additional information as the FRB may require. The Company
is also subject to regulation by the Division under Ohio law.

INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain
FRB approval before acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank or bank
holding company or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank
holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or
indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares of such bank or
bank holding company.

The BHCA also prohibits the Company, with certain limited exceptions, from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, and from
engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling
banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. The principal
exception to this prohibition allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to
own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the FRB to be
"so closely related to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto." Under
current regulations of the FRB, the Company is permitted to engage in, among
other activities, such banking-related activities as making or servicing loans
or certain types of leases; engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage
activities; performing certain data processing services; acting in certain
circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor; and making
investments in certain corporations or projects designed primarily to promote
community welfare. The Company has no present plans to engage in such
activities.

Bank holding companies are restricted in, and subject to, limitations regarding
transactions with subsidiaries and other affiliates. In addition, bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain
"tie-in" arrangements in connection with any extensions of credit, leases, sales
of property or furnishing of services.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (better known as the Financial Services Modernization
Act of 1999) which was effective March 11, 2000, permits bank holding companies
to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities
firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial
in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each
of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Act of 1999 prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed,
and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, by
filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial
holding company. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding
company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged
in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are
financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The Financial
Services Modernization Act defines "financial in nature" to include securities
underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment
companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and
activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related
to banking. The specific effects of the enactment of the Financial Services
Modernization Act on the banking industry in general and on Western Reserve
Bancorp, Inc. and Western Reserve Bank in particular have yet to be determined
due to the fact that the Financial Services Modernization Act and regulations
related thereto have only recently been adopted.


                                  Page 4 of 24
<PAGE>   5


Subject to certain restrictions, the Company will be able to borrow money to
make a capital contribution to the Bank and for other proper corporate purposes,
and such loans can be repaid from dividends paid by the Bank to the company.
There are no plans at the present time for the Company to borrow money under
such circumstances. The Company may also raise capital for the Bank and for
other purposes by selling securities, as it did in its Offerings.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum
levels of capital in accordance with FRB capital adequacy guidelines. If capital
falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding company, among other
things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or
non-bank businesses.

The FRB's capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital
requirements for bank holding companies: a risk-based requirement expressed as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets, and a leverage requirement expressed
as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based requirement consists of a
minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least
one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The leverage requirement consists of a
minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated
companies, with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others. For purposes of
these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of permanent
stockholders' equity less intangible assets (other than certain mortgage
servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships) and total capital
means Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and equity instruments which do not
qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the Bank's allowance for loan and
lease losses.

The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements,
and higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular
circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example,
the FRB's capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required
to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the
risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities
trading activities. Further, any banking organization experiencing or
anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios,
including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1 capital less all intangible
assets), well above the minimum levels.

Under the FRB's guidelines, the capital standards described above apply on a
consolidated basis to bank holding companies that have more than $150 million in
total consolidated assets, but generally apply on a bank-only basis to bank
holding companies, like the Company, that have less than $150 million in total
consolidated assets.

DIVIDENDS. The ability of the Company to obtain funds for the payment of
dividends and for other cash requirements will be largely dependent on the
amount of dividends which may be declared by its subsidiary, the Bank.
Generally, an Ohio state-chartered bank may not declare a dividend without the
approval of the Division, if the total of dividends declared by such bank in a
calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year, combined with
its retained profits of the preceding two years. In addition, state-chartered
banks are subject to dividend regulation by the primary federal bank regulatory
agency in connection with general supervisory authority as it relates to a
bank's requirement to maintain adequate capital (See "Capital" above.)
Furthermore, as part of the Bank's approval by regulatory agencies, it is
prohibited from paying dividends to the Company for a period of three years
after inception without prior written non-objection by the Federal Reserve Bank.
The Bank does not expect to pay dividends to the Company in the foreseeable
future.

THE BANK

GENERAL. The Bank is an Ohio-chartered bank and member of the Federal Reserve
System. The Bank is therefore regulated by the Division as well as the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The regulatory agencies have the
authority to regularly examine the Bank and the Bank will be subject to the
regulations promulgated by its supervisory agencies. In addition, the deposits
of the Bank are insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by law and,
therefore, the Bank is subject to FDIC regulations.


                                  Page 5 of 24
<PAGE>   6


DEPOSIT INSURANCE. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay
deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a
risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are
placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon
their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluations.
Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and
considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than
adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured
institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") assessments
ranged from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment
period beginning January 1, 2001, BIF assessment rates will continue to range
from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. Because the bank is "well capitalized"
for purposes of its deposit insurance premiums, it expects its FDIC BIF premium
to be the statutory minimum.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository
institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution has
engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or
unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law,
regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement
with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during
the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance if the institution
has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity
or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of the
Bank.

FICO ASSESSMENTS. Since 1987, a portion of the deposit insurance assessments
paid by SAIF members has been used to cover interest payments due on the
outstanding obligations of the FICO, the entity created to finance the
recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the
SAIF's predecessor insurance fund. Pursuant to federal legislation enacted
September 30, 1996, commencing January 1, 1997, both SAIF members and BIF
members became subject to assessments to cover the interest payments on
outstanding FICO obligations. Such FICO assessments are in addition to amounts
assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. During the year ended December 31,
2000 the FICO assessment rate for both BIF and SAIF members was approximately
0.0207% of deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2000 the Bank paid
approximately $6,000 in FICO assessments. For the first quarter of 2001, the
annualized FICO assessment rate will be 0.0196%. Management expects the amounts
paid for FICO assessments to increase as the Bank's deposits continue to
increase.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The Federal Reserve, Division and FDIC require banks and
holding companies to maintain minimum capital ratios. The "risk-adjusted"
capital guidelines for the Bank and the Company involve a mathematical process
of assigning various risk weights to different classes of assets, then
evaluating the sum of the risk-weighted balance sheet structure against the
Bank's and Company's capital base. The rules set the minimum guidelines for the
ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet
activities, such as standby letters of credit) at 8%. Tier 1 Capital is
comprised of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of perpetual
preferred stock less certain intangible items. At least half of the total
capital is to be Tier 1 Capital. The remainder may consist of a limited amount
of subordinated debt, other preferred stock, and a portion of the loan loss
reserves (not to exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The Bank anticipates
maintaining capital at a level sufficient to be classified as "well capitalized"
pursuant to the Federal Reserve guidelines.


                                  Page 6 of 24
<PAGE>   7


In addition, the federal banking regulatory agencies have adopted leverage
capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Under these guidelines,
banks and bank holding companies must maintain a minimum ratio of three percent
(3%) Tier 1 Capital to total assets. However, most banking organizations are
expected to maintain capital ratios well in excess of the minimum level and
generally must keep their Tier 1 ratio at or above 5%. The Bank intends to
maintain capital well above the regulatory minimum.

The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher
capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or
risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, the regulations of the
FDIC provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account
of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by concentrations
of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities.

As of December 31, 2000, the Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital
requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.8%, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 11.7% and a leverage ratio of 10.6%. As a result of the
Corporation's equity offering in the second half of 2000, the Bank, on January
2, 2001, issued $1,500,000 of subordinated debt to the Corporation. This debt is
treated as Tier 2 capital (subject to certain limitations) for the Bank's
risk-based capital calculations. As a result, the Bank's total risk-based
capital ratio will increase substantially in 2001. The Bank's Tier 1 risk-based
capital and leverage ratios are expected to continue to decrease to more normal
levels as the Bank increases its assets through normal banking operations in
2001 and beyond.

Pursuant to the Federal Reserve Bank's approval of Western Reserve Bank's
application for membership in the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is required
to maintain its ratio of Tier 1 tangible capital to total assets at a minimum of
9.0% for its first three years of operation. At December 31, 2000, that ratio
was 10.45%. Management believes that the Bank's capital is more than sufficient
to meet this requirement.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take
prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized." Depending upon the capital category to which an institution
is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the submission
of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions
on activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock
(including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions
with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on
deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring
that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the
institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the
institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal
or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the
institution. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity or condition
that could result in the aforementioned sanctions.

DIVIDENDS. Ohio law prohibits the Bank from paying dividends in an amount
greater than the total of its net profits for that year, combined with its
retained profits of the preceding two years without the prior approval of the
Division. The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding
company is also affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital
pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a
financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if,
following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As
described above, the Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under
applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2000. However, since the Bank has not,
to date, recorded sufficient profits to reverse its accumulated deficit, as of
December 31, 2000, $-0- was available to be paid as dividends to the Company by
the Bank. Additionally, as a condition of its approval to commence operations,
the Bank is prohibited from paying dividends to the Corporation for a period of
three (3) years from its opening without prior written non-objection from the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.


                                  Page 7 of 24
<PAGE>   8


ADDITIONAL REGULATION. The Bank is also subject to federal regulation as to such
matters as required reserves, limitations as to the nature and amount of its
loans and investments, regulatory approval of any merger or consolidation,
issuance or retirement by the Bank of its own securities, limitations upon the
payment of dividends and other aspects of banking operations. In addition, the
activities and operations of the Bank are subject to a number of additional
detailed, complex and sometimes overlapping laws and regulations. These include
state usury and consumer credit laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries, the
Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the Federal Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in
Savings Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, antiredlining legislation and
antitrust laws.

INSIDER TRANSACTIONS. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit by the Company and its subsidiary,
on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and its
subsidiary and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company or
its subsidiary as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting
requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its
directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company and its
subsidiary, to principal stockholders of the Company, and to "related interests"
of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, federal law
and regulations may affect the terms upon which any director or officer of the
Company or its subsidiary or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain
credit from banks with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.

SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS. The federal banking agencies have adopted
guidelines that establish operational and managerial standards to promote the
safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The
guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems,
internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and
earnings. In general, the guidelines prescribe the goals to be achieved in each
area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to
achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards
set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may
require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining
compliance. The preamble to the guidelines states that the agencies expect to
require a compliance plan from an institution whose failure to meet one or more
of the guidelines is of such severity that it could threaten the safety and
soundness of the institution. Failure to submit an acceptable plan, or failure
to comply with a plan that has been accepted by the appropriate federal
regulator, would constitute grounds for further enforcement action. The Company
and the Bank are currently not under any such actions or plans.

BRANCHING AUTHORITY. Ohio banks, such as the Bank, have the authority under Ohio
law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Ohio, subject to receipt of
all required regulatory approvals.

In May 1997 Ohio adopted the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") which allows banks to establish
interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks, subject to
certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate amount of
deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured
depository institution affiliates. The establishment of de novo interstate
branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state
(rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed
by the Riegle-Neal Act and authorized by Ohio law.

In February 2000, the Bank filed an application with the State of Ohio to
establish a branch within The Oaks at Medina, a retirement and lifetime care
community located at 4931 Nettleton Road, Medina. The office at The Oaks at
Medina opened in July 2000, and maintains limited hours. Management currently
has no other plans to establish branch offices.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. FRB regulations, as presently in effect, require
depository institutions to maintain vault cash or noninterest earning reserves
against their transaction accounts (primarily regular and interest-bearing
checking accounts), as follows: 0% of net transaction accounts up to $4.7
million; 3% of the amount over $4.7 million up to $47.8 million, and 10% for the
amount over $47.8 million. These reserve requirements are subject to annual
adjustment by the FRB. In 1999, the Bank was not yet subject to the foregoing
requirements. In April 2000, the Bank's deposits achieved the level to require
reserves. However, the Bank's vault cash is sufficient to meet the reserve
requirement.

PENDING LEGISLATION. Congress regularly considers legislation that may have an
impact upon the operation of the Company and the Bank. At this time, the Company
is unable to predict whether any proposed legislation will be enacted and,
therefore, is unable to predict the impact such legislation may have on the
operations of the Company and the Bank.

       RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (Continued)

       B.  The following tables set forth the effect of volume and rate changes
           on interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For
           purposes of these tables, changes in interest due to volume and rate
           were determined as follows:

           Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's
           rate. Rate Variance - change in rate multiplied by the previous
           year's volume. Rate/Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by
           the change in rate. This variance was allocated to volume variance
           and rate variance in proportion to the relationship of the absolute
           dollar amount of the change in each.

                  Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December
                  31, 2000 is adequate to absorb any losses on nonperforming
                  loans, as the allowance balance is maintained by management at
                  a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently
                  anticipated based on loss experience of comparable companies,
                  general economic conditions, information about specific
                  borrower situations including their financial position and

                  Discussion of the Nonaccrual Policy

                  The accrual of interest income is discontinued when the
                  collection of a loan or interest, in whole or in part, is
                  doubtful. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest
                  income accrued in the current period is reversed. In general,
                  while loans which are past due 90 days or more as to interest
                  or principal payments are considered for nonaccrual status,
                  management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when
                  the estimated net realizable value of collateral, in
                  management's judgment, is sufficient to cover the principal
                  balance and accrued interest.

              2.  Potential Problem Loans

                  As of December 31, 2000, in addition to the $204,779 of loans
                  reported under Item III, C.1., there are $-0- in other
                  outstanding loans where known information about possible
                  credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have
                  serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply
                  with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in
                  disclosure of such loans pursuant to Item III. C.1 at some
                  future date. There were no loans classified for regulatory
                  purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention
                  that have not been disclosed in Section 1 above.

       D.  OTHER INTEREST-BEARING ASSETS

           There are no other interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 2000
           that would be required to be disclosed under Item III. C.1 or 2 if
           such assets were loans.

IV.    SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE (Continued)

           The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan
           losses are judgmentally determined by management based upon periodic
           reviews of the loan portfolio. In addition, management considered the
           level of charge-offs on loans as well as the fluctuations of
           charge-offs and recoveries on loans including the factors which
           caused these changes. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of
           loss is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is
           maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover
           losses that are currently probable based on past loss experience,
           general economic conditions, information about specific borrower
           situations including their financial position and collateral values
           and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over
           time.

       B.  The following schedule is a breakdown of the allowance for loan
           losses allocated by type of loan and related ratios.

VII.    SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

        The Company did not have any reportable categories of short-term
        borrowings during or at the end of the reported periods.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company leases premises for the Bank's main office at 4015 Medina Road,
Suite 100, Medina, Ohio, which also serve as the Company's corporate
headquarters. The leased premises consist of approximately 7,884 square feet of
a three-story multi-tenant brick building constructed in 1998 with ample
parking. The building is located on State Route 18, a major thoroughfare in
Medina, approximately 1.5 miles west of Interstate 71 and 1 mile east of
downtown Medina.

The lease for the building has a primary term of ten years with options for two
five-year extensions. The annual lease payment was $107,734 for 2000 and
$103,840 for, and is subject to increases each subsequent year. The facility is
leased under an operating lease from a member of the Board of Directors. Refer
to Note 5 on page 13 of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders
(incorporated herein by reference) for additional discussion about the lease.

The Bank has five interior teller stations (two of which are sit-down teller
desks, and three of which are traditional stand-up teller counters), a two-lane
drive-through, a drive-up ATM and a night depository facility. The Company
believes the facility will be adequate to meet the needs of the Company and the
Bank for the foreseeable future.

The Bank also leases a small office inside The Oaks at Medina retirement
community at 4931 Nettleton Road, Medina. The Bank operates a full-service,
limited-hours branch at that location. The branch opened in July 2000. Rent for
the office is de minimis.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings against it or the Bank.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the
fourth quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The Company's Common Stock was held by approximately 463 holders of record as of
December 31, 2000, and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It has not yet been
assigned a symbol. To date there has been no regular and liquid market for the
common stock, and there can be no assurance that a regular and liquid trading
market will develop in the foreseeable future.

During 2000, there were two transactions of the Company's common stock reported
by the market maker in the Company's stock. One transaction, in May 2000, was at
$21.75 per share, and the other was in December 2000, at $25.00 per share. In
September 2000, the Company undertook an intra-state secondary stock offering.
Shares were sold in that offering for $23.00 (to existing shareholders based on
rights to purchase 0.27 share for each share owned) and $25.00 (to new
shareholders and to existing shareholders who wished to purchase more shares
than their rights allowed). In the fourth quarter of 1999, there was one
transaction of 1,000 shares at $21.00. These quotations reflect inter-dealer
prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission. Certain other private
transactions may have occurred during the periods indicated of which the Company
has no knowledge.

No cash or other dividends were declared or paid since the Company's inception
on February 25, 1997. The Company expects that all Company and Bank earnings, if
any, will be retained to finance the growth of the Company and the Bank and that
no cash dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future. If and when dividends
are declared, the Company will probably be largely dependent upon dividends paid
by the Bank for funds to pay dividends on the Common Stock. It is also possible,
however, that the Company could pay dividends in the future generated from
investment income and other activities of the Company.

Under Ohio law, the Bank will be restricted as to the maximum amount of
dividends it may pay on its Common Stock. For additional discussion regarding
dividend restrictions, please refer to the discussion regarding Supervision and
Regulation in Part I of this Form 10-KSB.
