The earnings of the Company are affected by general economic conditions as well as by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Such policies, which include regulating the national supply of bank reserves and bank credit, can have a major effect upon the source and cost of funds and the rates of return earned on loans and investments. The Federal Reserve influences the size and distribution of bank reserves through its open market operations and changes in cash reserve requirements against member bank deposits.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to the restrictions of the Bank Holding Company act of 1956, as amended. This Act provides that the acquisition of control of a bank is subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it can acquire control of more than 5% of the voting shares of another bank. The Act does not permit the Federal Reserve Board to approve an acquisition by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, of any bank located in a state other than Ohio, unless the acquisition is specifically authorized by the law of the state in which such bank is located.
The Bank, as a state member bank, is subject to regulation by the Superintendent of Banks of the State of Ohio, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company and any other subsidiaries which it now owns or may hereafter acquire are considered affiliates of the Bank as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company's other affiliate state banks are primarily subject to the laws of the state in which each is located, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The affiliate banks which are organized under the laws of the United States are primarily subject to regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Company and its banking affiliates are subject to certain restrictions on loans by the Bank, on investments by the Bank in their stock and on its taking such stock and securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

In addition, any such affiliates of the Bank will be subject to examination at the discretion of supervisory authorities.

The Bank Holding Company Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by the Company and its subsidiaries to ownership of banks and those activities which the Federal Reserve Board has deemed or may in the future find to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The securities portfolio as of December 31 for each of the last five years, and the maturity distribution and weighted average yield of securities as of December 31, 1993, are incorporated herein by reference to the securities tables on page 30 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders attached to this filing as Exhibit 13. The weighted average yields for the securities portfolio are yields to maturity weighted by the par values of the securities. The weighted average yields on securities exempt from income taxes are computed on a taxable equivalent basis. The taxable equivalent yields are net after-tax yields to maturity divided by the complement of the full corporate tax rate (35%).
In order to express yields on a taxable equivalent basis, yields on obligations of states and political subdivisions have been increased as follows:
Under 1 year 2.43% 1 - 5 years 2.73% 6 - 10 years 2.65% Over 10 years 3.09% Total securities 2.64%
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities," effective December 31, 1993. This Statement requires securities to be classified as held to maturity, available for sale or trading. Only those securities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost, with those available for sale and trading reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders' equity or income, respectively. Refer to pages 19 and 20 in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders for a summary of the investment portfolio classifications at December 31, 1993.
The investment portfolio has increased in size during the past year due in part to the securitization and transfer to securities of $291,586,000 in residential mortgage loans. The investment portfolio is comprised largely of fixed and variable rate mortgage-backed securities. These AAA rated securities are backed by first mortgages on single-family homes predominately underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the government sponsored agencies of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. They differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they have uncertain maturity dates, and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages.
The estimated average life of the portfolio is three years and six months, which is very short by industry standards and minimizes our exposure to the risk of rising interest rates. The Company holds no securities which would be classified as high risk under the new FFIEC guidelines on mortgage-backed securities.
The Company had sales of securities available for sale of approximately $230 million during 1993. This activity resulted in $6.5 million in realized securities gains, less than 2.2% of income before income taxes, and represented 12.2% of total security gains, realized and unrealized, as of December 31, 1993.
AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS
The average balance sheets are incorporated herein by reference to Table 1 on pages 26 and 27 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders attached to this filing as Exhibit 13.
ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST INCOME CHANGES
The analysis of net interest income and the analysis of net interest income changes are incorporated herein by reference to Table 1 and Table 2 and the related discussion on pages 26 through 28 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders attached to this filing as Exhibit 13.
Reserve for Credit Losses - -------------------------
The reserve for credit losses is established through charges to operations by a provision for credit losses. Loans and leases which are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve and any subsequent recoveries are credited to the reserve. The amount charged to operations is based on several factors. These include the following:
1. Analytical reviews of the credit loss experience in relationship to outstanding loans and leases to determine an adequate reserve for credit losses required for loans and leases at risk. 2. A continuing review of problem or at risk loans and leases and the overall portfolio quality. 3. Regular examinations and appraisals of the loan and lease portfolio conducted by the Bank's examination staff and the banking supervisory authorities. 4. Management's judgement with respect to the current and expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan and lease portfolio.
The amount provided for credit losses exceeded actual net charge-offs by $18,224,000 in 1993, $20,629,000 in 1992 and $5,001,000 in 1991.
Management reviews the reserve on a quarterly basis to determine whether additional provisions should be made after considering the factors noted above. Based on these procedures, management is of the opinion that the reserve at December 31, 1993 of $135,097,000 is adequate.
Maturity Distribution of Domestic Certificates of Deposit of $100,000 and Over - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ at December 31, 1993 ($000's) -----------------------------
Under 3 months $174,719
3 to 6 months 70,717

On February 26, 1993, the Company purchased $106 million in deposits and the facilities of six First National Bank of Dayton locations in Cincinnati. On October 18, 1993, the Company purchased $131 million in deposits and the facilities of five World Savings and Loan Association branches in western and northwestern Ohio.
