NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by Park National Corporation (the “Registrant”, “Corporation”, “Company”, or “Park”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 from Park’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies and considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.

Note 2 — Acquisitions and Intangible Assets

On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock options of Vision Bancshares, Inc. for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937 shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share. The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition was $109.0 million. Substantially, none of the goodwill is tax deductible. Management continues to expect that the acquisition of Vision will improve the future growth rate for Park’s loans and deposits. The fair value of the acquired assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $624.4 million at March 9, 2007.

During the first six months of 2008, loans at Vision Bank have grown by $41 million to $680 million at June 30, 2008. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, Vision Bank had loan growth of $64 million or 10.4%, while the Ohio-based banks had loan growth of $177 million or 5.0% for the same period.

Additional information pertaining to Park’s acquisitions made during 2007 is discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The following table shows the activity in goodwill and core deposit intangibles during the first six months of 2008.

						Core Deposit
(In Thousands)		Goodwill				Intangibles				Total
December 31, 2007		$	127,320			$	17,236			$	144,556
Amortization			—				<2,013>				<2,013>
June 30, 2008		$	127,320			$	15,223			$	142,543

The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over periods ranging from six to ten years. The amortization period for the Vision Bank and the Millersburg branch purchase core deposit intangibles is six years. Management expects that the core deposit amortization expense will be $1.0 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

Core deposit amortization expense is projected to be as follows for each of the following years:

		Annual
(In Thousands)		Amortization
2008		$	4,025
2009		$	3,746
2010		$	3,422
2011		$	2,677
2012		$	2,677
Total		$	16,547

Goodwill is evaluated on an annual basis for impairment and otherwise when circumstances warrant. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Park’s management determined that the goodwill from the Vision Bank acquisition on March 9, 2007 could possibly be impaired due to the significant deterioration in the credit condition of Vision Bank. Nonperforming loans at Vision Bank increased from $26.3 million at September 30, 2007 to $63.5 million at December 31, 2007 or 9.9% of year-end loan balances. Net loan charge-offs were $6.4 million for the fourth quarter or an annualized 3.99% of average loan balances. Management determined that due to these severe credit conditions, a valuation of the fair value of Vision Bank be computed to determine if the goodwill of $109.0 million was impaired. Management determined that an impairment charge of $54.0 million was appropriate; therefore, the current carrying value of goodwill resulting from the Vision acquisition is $55.0 million at June 30, 2008.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 , “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (as amended)” requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Based on the increased level of net loan charge-offs at Vision Bank during the first six months of 2008, management has determined that it would be prudent to test for goodwill impairment during the third quarter of 2008.

For the first six months of 2008, Vision Bank experienced $16.3 million of net loan charge-offs, or an annualized 4.92% of average loans. For the second quarter of 2008, the net loan charge-offs for Vision Bank were $10.8 million, or an annualized 6.41% of average loans. The loan loss provision at Vision Bank was $16.3 million and $11.5 million for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. See Note 16 — Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for more information pertaining to the Vision Bank impairment testing.

Goodwill for the Ohio-based banks was evaluated during the first quarter of 2008, and no impairment charge was necessary.

Note 3 — Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

Commercial loans are individually risk graded. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral and other sources of cash flow. Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment loans and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions, loan delinquency and other environmental factors.

The following table shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, options to purchase 539,255 and 534,567 weighted average shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the respective option exercise prices exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, options to purchase 485,222 and 465,640 weighted average shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share due to their having the same anti-dilutive effect as those disclosed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

The operating results of the Parent Company and Guardian Financial Services Company (GFC) in the “all other” row are used to reconcile the segment totals to the consolidated condensed statements of income for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The reconciling amounts for consolidated total assets for both of the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 consist of the elimination of intersegment borrowings, and the assets of the Parent Company and GFC which are not eliminated. The results for Vision Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are from the acquisition date of March 9, 2007 through June 30, 2007.

Note 7 — Stock Option Plans

Park did not grant any stock options during the first six months of 2008 or the first six months of 2007. Additionally, no stock options became vested during the first six months of 2008 or 2007.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the first half of 2008.

						Weighted

All of the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2008 were exercisable. The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding stock options at June 30, 2008 was $0.

No options were exercised during the first half of 2008. The intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the first quarter of 2007 was $47,000 and was $0 for the second quarter of 2007. The weighted average contractual remaining term was 2.0 years for the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2008.

All of the common shares delivered upon exercise of incentive stock options granted under the Park National Corporation 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and the Park National Corporation 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) are to be treasury shares. At June 30, 2008, incentive stock options (granted under both the 2005 Plan and 1995 Plan) covering 464,925 common shares were outstanding. The remaining outstanding stock options at June 30, 2008 covering 11,665 common shares were granted under a stock option plan (the “Security Plan”) assumed by Park in the acquisition of Security Banc Corporation in 2001. At June 30, 2008, Park held 1,008,681 treasury shares that are allocated for the stock option plans (including the Security Plan).

Note 9 — Investment Securities

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities are shown in the following table. Management evaluates investment securities on a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairment. No impairment charges were deemed necessary in 2007.

In its evaluation of investment securities for any other-than-temporary impairment as of June 30, 2008, management followed the principles in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59 (“SAB No. 59”). Management determined that Park’s unrealized loss in the stock of National City Corporation (NYSE:NCC) was other-than-temporary due to the duration and severity of the loss. Therefore, Park recognized an impairment loss of $439,000, which is included in “other expenses” within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. This impairment loss represents the difference between the investment’s cost and fair value on June 30, 2008.

The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of changes in interest rates and will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments.

Note 11 — Benefit Plans

Park has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan provides benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.

Park’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Management does not expect to make a pension plan contribution in 2008.

The following table shows the components of net periodic benefit expense:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R.” This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, beginning with fiscal year-end December 31, 2006, and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income beginning in 2007. Additionally, defined benefit plan assets and obligations are to be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end, starting in 2008. Park had a pension asset and liability valuation performed as of September 30, 2007, and as a result of the SFAS No. 158 measurement date provisions, Park was required to adjust retained earnings for three-fifteenths (20%) of the estimated expense for 2008. Therefore, Park charged approximately $0.3 million to retained earnings on January 1, 2008 (net of taxes) to reflect the expense pertaining to three months of pension plan expense.

Note 12 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF Issue No. 06-04”). The EITF reached a consensus that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. The EITF concluded that a liability for the benefit obligation under SFAS No. 106 has not been settled through the purchase of an endorsement type life insurance policy. In September 2006, FASB agreed to ratify the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 06-04. This new accounting standard was effective for Park beginning January 1, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, Park and its subsidiary banks owned $130.0 million of bank owned life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are generally subject to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. These arrangements were designed to provide a pre-and postretirement benefit for senior officers and directors of Park and its subsidiary banks. Park’s management has completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-4 on Park’s consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2008, Park charged approximately $11.6 million to retained earnings and recorded a corresponding liability for the same amount.

Fair Value Measurements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The fair value option permits companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent changes in fair value must be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management believes that the impact of adoption resulted in enhanced footnote disclosures; however, the adoption did not materially impact the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (See Note 15 – Fair Value of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

At the February 12, 2008 FASB meeting, the FSAB decided to defer the effective date of SFAS No .157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 is effective for certain non-financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Non-financial assets and liabilities may include (but are not limited to): (i) non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination, but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods, (ii) reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test described in SFAS No. 142, and (iii) non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test described in SFAS No. 142.

Accounting for Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value

On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings” (“SAB 109”). Previously, SAB 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”, stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supercedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 is effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption of SAB 109 was not material.

Accounting for Business Combinations

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), with the objective to improve the comparability of information that a company provides in its financial statements related to a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141 (R) does not apply to combinations between entities under common control. SFAS No. 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Note 13 — Derivative Instruments

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company executed a interest rate swap to hedge a $25 million floating-rate subordinated note that was entered into by Park during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.  Our interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying principal amount, and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. 

As of June 30, 2008, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. 

At June 30, 2008, the derivative’s fair value of $97,000 was included in other assets. No hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during the quarter. At June 30, 2008, the variable rate on the $25 million subordinated note was 4.80% (LIBOR plus 200 basis points) and Park was paying 6.01% (4.01% fixed rate on the interest rate swap plus 200 basis points).

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the change in the fair value of the derivative designated as a cash flow hedge reported in other comprehensive income was $63,000 (net of taxes of $34,000). Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

Note 14 — Guarantees

Pursuant to the requirements of FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”), Park recorded a contingent legal liability of $.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2007. This was a result of an announcement Visa made in the fourth quarter of 2007 that it was establishing litigation reserves for the settlement of a lawsuit and for additional potential settlements with other parties. Park recorded the contingent legal liability based on Visa’s announcements and Park’s membership interest in Visa. Visa had a successful initial public offering (“IPO”) during the first quarter of 2008. Visa used a portion of the IPO proceeds to fund an escrow account that will be used to pay contingent legal settlements. As a result of the IPO, Park was able to reverse the entire contingent legal liability and recognize as income $.9 million during the first quarter of 2008. This was reflected in other income within the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

At the time of the IPO, Park held 132,876 Class B Common Shares of Visa. During the first quarter of 2008, Visa redeemed 51,373 of these shares and paid Park $2.2 million, which was recognized in other income within the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value:

	§		Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	§		Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
	§		Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting, etc.
