RST I

RST I is a trust that was organized in August 2000. In September 2000, RST I closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities. The sole assets of RST I are the junior subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, which in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of RST I under the Capital Securities.

RST II

RST II is a trust that was organized in August 2005. In September 2005, RST II closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities.

Recent Developments

State Bank

State Bank aggressively managed down the level of problem assets throughout the year. At December 31, 2010, non-performing assets had declined $6.5 million from the prior year. The level of non-performing assets to total assets of 2.09 percent was down from 3.02 percent for the prior year.

Operating expense reductions were a critical part of State Bank’s efforts during the year, and included a branch closing, staff reductions and operating efficiencies throughout the organization.

Mortgage loan production continued to be a key part of State Bank revenue growth. Total gain on sale from saleable loans, the majority of which was mortgage production, was $4.8 million during 2010, an increase of 43 percent over the 2009 revenue levels.

Loan loss provision was a significant drain on earnings during 2010. For the year, provision expense was $7.6 million to cover loan charge-offs of $7.9 million. The bank’s loan loss allowance of 1.57 percent is up 2 basis points from the prior year. This allowance provided a coverage level for our non-performing loans of 55 percent.

RDSI

On April 27, 2009, the Company announced a transaction between RDSI and New Core Holdings, Inc. d/b/a New Core Banking Systems, headquartered in Birmingham, AL (“New Core”). As part of this transaction, RDSI and New Core entered into a Reseller Software License and Support Agreement pursuant to which RDSI was granted rights as the exclusive provider of New Core’s Single Source™ software. RDSI and New Core also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which New Core would be merged with a newly-created subsidiary of RDSI and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of RDSI. A prerequisite of this merger would be the spin-off of RDSI from Rurban, resulting in RDSI becoming a separate independent public company. This would be followed immediately by the merger of RDSI and New Core. On July 28, 2010, RDSI announced that the proposed strategic partnership and merger with New Core Holdings, Inc. could not be successfully completed as previously contemplated. As part of that announcement, RDSI incurred a significant write-off of hardware, software and development costs of $10.0 million. That write-off, together with an aggregate of $6.3 million in Goodwill and intangible impairments related to the loss of client banks and associated revenue at RDSI, drove the bulk of the net loss in 2010 at the Company. Included in the $10 million impairment was a $3.0 million loan loss to New Core Holdings, Inc.

Competition

State Bank experiences significant competition in attracting depositors and borrowers. Competition in lending activities comes principally from other commercial banks in the lending areas of State Bank, and to a lesser extent, from savings associations, insurance companies, governmental agencies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms and pension funds. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates charged and overall banking services.

State Bank’s competition for deposits comes from other commercial banks, savings associations, money market funds and credit unions as well as from insurance companies and securities brokerage firms. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, account liquidity and convenience of office location.

RDSI and DCM also operate in a highly competitive field. RDSI and DCM compete primarily on the basis of the value and quality of their data processing and item processing services and convenience to their customers.

RFS operates in the highly competitive trust services field and its competition consists primarily of other bank trust departments.

Supervision and Regulation

The following is a description of the significant statutes and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes, regulations and policies that are described. Also, such statutes, regulations and policies are continually under review by the U.S. Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies. A change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries could have a material effect on our business.

Regulation of Bank Holding Companies and Their Subsidiaries in General

The Company is a bank holding company and, as such, is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Bank Holding Company Act”). The Bank Holding Company Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before a bank holding company may acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank (unless the bank is already majority owned by the bank holding company), acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. Subject to certain exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than banking or managing or controlling banks. The primary exception to this prohibition allows a bank holding company to own shares in any company the activities of which the Federal Reserve Board had determined, as of November 19, 1999, to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.

- 5 -

The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including, without limitation, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist or removal orders, and require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries, including its subsidiary banks. In general, the Federal Reserve Board may initiate enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision of other property or services to a customer by the bank holding company or its subsidiaries.

Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support its subsidiary bank. Pursuant to this policy, the Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank and may disapprove of the payment of dividends to shareholders if the Federal Reserve Board determines that the payment of such dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice.

State Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, so its primary federal regulator is the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board issues regulations governing the operations of State Bank and examines State Bank. The Federal Reserve Board may initiate enforcement action against insured depository institutions and affiliated persons for violations of laws and regulations and for engaging in unsafe or unsound practices. The deposits of State Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

As a state-chartered bank incorporated under Ohio law, State Bank is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the “Division”). The Division may initiate supervisory measures or formal enforcement actions against Ohio state-chartered banks and, if the grounds provided by law exist, the Division may place an Ohio bank in conservatorship or receivership. Whenever the Division considers it necessary or appropriate, the Division may also examine the affairs of any holding company or any affiliate or subsidiary of an Ohio bank.

Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and the State of Ohio affect the operations of State Bank, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made and the interest that may be charged thereon, restrictions relating to investments and other activities, limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks, limitations on activities based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends, and limitations on branching. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of State Bank.

The Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) provide credit to their members in the form of advances. As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, State Bank must maintain certain minimum investments in the capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati. State Bank was in compliance with these requirements at December 31, 2010.

Dividends

In January 2010, the Company announced that it had elected to suspend payment of quarterly cash dividends. There can be no assurance as to if or when the Company might reinstate dividends to shareholders or as to the amount of any dividends which may be declared in future periods.

The Company is a bank holding company and its ability to declare and pay dividends is dependent on certain federal regulatory considerations, including the guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board regarding capital adequacy and dividends. In addition, the ability of the Company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount of dividends that may be declared and paid by its subsidiaries. State Bank may not pay dividends out of its surplus if, after paying these dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and minimum leverage ratio requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, State Bank must obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions if a dividend in any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of the bank’s current year’s net profits and the retained net profits for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus. Payment of dividends by State Bank may be restricted at any time at the discretion of its regulatory authorities, if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking practice. These provisions could have the effect of limiting the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common shares in the future.

Transactions with Affiliates, Directors, Executive Officers and Shareholders

Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Board Regulation W restrict transactions by banks and their subsidiaries with their affiliates. Any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a bank is generally considered to be an affiliate of the bank.

In general, Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W:

limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus (i.e., tangible capital);

limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with all affiliates to 20% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus; and

require that all covered transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank or subsidiary, as those provided to nonaffiliated.

The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar types of transactions.

A bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders, as well as entities such persons control, is subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O promulgated thereunder by the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals (or be made under a benefit or compensation program and on terms widely available to employees) and must not involve a greater than normal risk of repayment. In addition, the amount of loans a bank may make to these persons is based, in part, on the bank’s capital position, and specified approval procedures must be followed in making loans which exceed specified amounts.

Regulatory Capital

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and for state member banks, such as State Bank. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance-sheet items to broad risk categories. The minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. Of that 8%, at least 4% must be comprised of common shareholders’ equity (including retained earnings but excluding treasury stock), non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (“Tier 1 capital”). The remainder of total risk-based capital (“Tier 2 capital”) may consist, among other things, of certain amounts of mandatory convertible debt securities, subordinated debt, preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, allowance for loan and lease losses and net unrealized gains, after applicable taxes, on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, all subject to limitations established by the guidelines. Under the guidelines, capital is compared to the relative risk related to the balance sheet. To derive the risk included in the balance sheet, one of four risk weights (0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%) is applied to different balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets, primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

- 7 -

The Federal Reserve Board also imposes a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 3% for bank holding companies and state member banks that meet certain specified conditions, including no operational, financial or supervisory deficiencies, and including having the highest regulatory rating. The minimum leverage ratio is 1%-2% higher for other bank holding companies and state member banks based on their particular circumstances and risk profiles and those experiencing or anticipating significant growth. Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to federal and state regulatory authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.

The federal banking regulators have established regulations governing prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks. The regulations establish five capital level categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Under these regulations, institutions which become undercapitalized can become subject to mandatory regulatory scrutiny and limitations, which increase as capital decreases. Such institutions may also be required to file capital plans with their primary federal regulator, and their holding companies may be required to guarantee the capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at the time it becomes undercapitalized.

The Company’s management believes that the Company and State Bank, at year end 2010, satisfied all requirements to be deemed “well capitalized”.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)

The FDIC is an independent federal agency which insures the deposits of federally-insured banks and savings associations up to certain prescribed limits and safeguards the safety and soundness of financial institutions. State Bank’s deposits are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the FDIC. Under the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment system, the assessment rate for any insured institution may vary according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors such as supervisory evaluations.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity that poses a serious threat to the insurance fund and may initiate enforcement actions against a bank, after first giving the institution’s primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may also terminate the deposit insurance of any institution that has engaged in or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. These policies and regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans as well as the interest rates paid on deposits and accounts.

- 8 -

Holding Company Activities

In November 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was enacted, permitting 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 1991 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 is 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 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act defines “financial in nature” to include: (i) securities underwriting, dealing and market making; (ii) sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; (iii) insurance underwriting and agency; (iv) merchant banking activities; and (v) activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking.

The Company has not elected to become a financial holding company. The Company intends to continue to analyze the proposed advantages and disadvantages of becoming a financial holding company on a periodic basis.

SEC and NASDAQ Regulation

The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC and certain state securities authorities relating to the offering and sale of its securities. The Company is subject to the registration, reporting and other regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules adopted by the SEC under those acts. The Company’s common shares are listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “RBNF”, and the Company is subject to the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) applicable to listed companies.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Related Rules Affecting Corporate Governance

As mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), the SEC has adopted rules and regulations governing, among other matters, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced the timely disclosure of corporate information. The SEC has also approved corporate governance rules promulgated by NASDAQ. The Board of Directors of the Company has taken a series of actions to comply with the NASDAQ and SEC rules and to further strengthen its corporate governance practices. The Company has adopted and implemented a Code of Conduct and Ethics and a copy of that policy can be found on the Company’s website at www.rurbanfinancial.net by first clicking “Corporate Governance” and then “Code of Conduct”. The Company has also adopted charters of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee, which charters are available on the Company’s website at www.rurbanfinancial.net by first clicking “Corporate Governance” and then “Supplementary Info”.

USA Patriot Act

The Uniting and Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) gives the United States Government greater powers over financial institutions to combat money laundering and terrorist access to the financial system in our country. The Patriot Act requires regulated financial institutions to establish programs for obtaining identifying information from customers seeking to open new accounts and establish enhanced due diligence policies, procedures and controls designed to detect and report suspicious activity.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act is expected to significantly change the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry. Because the Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of regulations with significant discretion, many of the details of the new law and the effects they will have on the Company will not be known for months and even years.

The following changes that will be implemented pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act may have an effect on the Company’s business:

the Dodd-Frank Act creates a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to adopt and enforce consumer protection regulations;

new capital regulations for bank holding companies will be adopted, which may impose stricter requirements, and any new trust preferred securities will no longer constitute Tier I capital;

the federal law prohibiting the payment of interest on commercial demand deposit accounts will be eliminated effective in July 2011;

the standard maximum amount of deposit insurance per customer is permanently increased to $250,000, and non-interest bearing transaction accounts will have unlimited insurance through December 31, 2012;

the assessment base for determining deposit insurance premiums will be expanded to include liabilities other than just deposits; and

new corporate governance requirements applicable generally to all public companies in all industries will require new compensation practices and disclosure requirements, including requiring companies to “claw back” incentive compensation under certain circumstances, to provide shareholders the opportunity to cast a non-binding vote on executive compensation and to consider the independence of compensation advisers.

Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have not yet been implemented and will require interpretation and rule making by federal regulators. While the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Company cannot yet be determined, the law is likely to increase compliance costs and fees paid to regulators, along with possible restrictions on the operations of the Company.

Effect of Environmental Regulation

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company believes that the nature of the operations of its subsidiaries has little, if any, environmental impact. The Company, therefore, anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future. The Company’s subsidiaries may be required to make capital expenditures for environmental control facilities related to properties which they may acquire through foreclosure proceedings in the future; however, the amount of such capital expenditures, if any, is not currently determinable.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other statements that we make from time to time in filings by the Company with the SEC, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or with the approval of the Company which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Changes in economic conditions could adversely affect our earnings, as our borrowers’ ability to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing our loans decline.

Our success depends to a large extent upon local and national economic conditions, as well as governmental fiscal and monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply and other factors beyond our control can adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings and our capital. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, additional decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings and cash flows.

We continue to experience difficult economic conditions and high unemployment in our market areas, which has impaired the ability of our customers to make payments on their loans, and a significant continued decline in the economy in our market areas could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As a result of these economic conditions, the Company’s future earnings continue to be susceptible to further declining credit conditions in the markets in which we operate.

Our earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies.

The policies of the Federal Reserve Board impact us significantly. The Federal Reserve Board regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its policies directly and indirectly influence the rate of interest earned on loans and paid on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits, and can also affect the value of financial instruments we hold. Those policies determine to a significant extent our cost of funds for lending and investing. Changes in those policies are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Federal Reserve Board policies can also affect our borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay their loans. For example, a tightening of the money supply by the Federal Reserve Board could reduce the demand for a borrower’s products and services. This could adversely affect the borrower’s earnings and ability to repay its loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our earnings depend substantially on our interest spread, which is the difference between the rates we earn on loans, securities and other earning assets and the interest rates we pay on deposits and other borrowings. These rates will depend on many factors that are partly or entirely outside of our control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. While we have taken measures intended to manage the risks of operating in a changing rate environment, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue interest rate risk. As market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits, which will result in a decrease in net interest income and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for loan losses, our net income will decrease.

Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and non-performance, which when combined, we refer to as the allowance for loan losses. Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual credit losses, and future provisions for credit losses could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Our allowance for loan losses is based on prior experience, as well as an evaluation of the risks in the current portfolio. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and allowance for loan losses. We cannot assure you that we will not further increase the allowance for loan losses or that regulators will not require us to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

RDSI may continue to experience net operating losses as a result of the loss of data processing customers.

On July 28, 2010, the Company announced that it had determined that the planned spin-off of RDSI and merger with New Core cannot be successfully completed. RDSI is working to address a wind-down of the relationships with New Core to enable both companies to pursue their separate strategic directions. As a result of this determination, together with the loss of RDSI’s data processing client base and associated revenue, the Company recorded a $5.6 million pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 2010 for impairment and write-downs of hardware, software and developmental costs related to the data processing business of RDSI. The Company also recorded a $3.0 million loan provision and associated charge-off at RDSI during the second quarter of 2010 relating to a loan to New Core Holdings Inc. for software development costs.

RDSI currently provides data processing services exclusively to State Bank, as RDSI has discontinued offering data processing services to other client banks. However, RDSI continues to offer item processing and network services, and expects to maintain those primary businesses going forward. The current customer base at RDSI is significantly lower than the prior year and RDSI anticipates normal levels of attrition going forward. Should RDSI be unable to replace lost clients and expand its existing client base, revenue will decline and additional operating losses within that business segment are likely to occur.

FDIC insurance premiums may increase materially, which could negatively affect our profitability.

The FDIC insures deposits at FDIC insured financial institutions, including State Bank. The FDIC charges the insured financial institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund at a certain level. During 2008 and 2009, there were higher levels of bank failures which dramatically increased resolution costs of the FDIC and depleted the deposit insurance fund. The FDIC collected a special assessment in 2009 to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund and also required a prepayment of an estimated amount of future deposit insurance premiums. If the costs of future bank failures increase, deposit insurance premiums may also increase.

Legislative or regulatory changes could adversely impact our businesses.

The financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, and not to benefit our shareholders. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact us. In light of current conditions in the global financial markets and the global economy, regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. Most recently, the federal government has intervened on an unprecedented scale in responding to the stresses experienced in the global financial markets. Some of the laws enacted by Congress and regulations promulgated by the federal banking regulators subject us and other financial institutions to additional restrictions, oversight or costs that may have an impact on our business, results of operations or the price of our common shares.

The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2010, and, although it became generally effective in July 2010, many of its provisions have extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and will require extensive rulemaking by regulatory authorities. The Dodd-Frank Act, including future rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, could result in a number of adverse impacts on the Company and its subsidiaries. The levels of capital and liquidity with which we must operate may be subject to more stringent capital requirements. In addition, we may be subjected to higher deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC. We may also be subject to additional regulations under the newly established Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection which was given broad authority to implement new consumer protection regulations. These and other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act may place significant additional costs on us, impede our growth opportunities and place us at a competitive disadvantage.

In addition, effective July 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the federal law prohibition on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposit accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this change to a long-standing law could have a material adverse effect on State Bank.

We may be a defendant from time to time in a variety of litigation and other actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of our businesses. The risk of litigation increases in times of increased troubled loan collection activity. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our success depends upon the continued service of our senior management team and upon our ability to attract and retain qualified financial services personnel. Competition for qualified employees is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel. If we lose the services of our key personnel, or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers, we may rely on information provided to us by customers, including financial statements and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to a business, we may assume that the customer’s audited financial statements conform with generally accepted accounting principles and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer, and we may also rely on the audit report covering those financial statements. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent we rely on financial statements that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles or that are materially misleading.

Our ability to pay cash dividends is limited, and we may be unable to pay cash dividends in the future even if we elect to do so.

We are dependent primarily upon the earnings of our operating subsidiaries for funds to pay dividends on our common shares. The payment of dividends by us is also subject to regulatory restrictions. As a result, any payment of dividends in the future will be dependent, in large part, on our ability to satisfy these regulatory restrictions and our subsidiaries’ earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. In January 2010, the Company announced the suspension of quarterly cash dividends. There can be no assurance as to if or when the Company might be able to pay dividends again or as to the amount of any dividends which may be declared and paid to shareholders in future periods. Our continued failure to pay dividends on our common shares could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

A limited trading market exists for our common shares which could lead to price volatility.

Your ability to sell or purchase our common shares depends upon the existence of an active trading market for our common shares. While our stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, it trades infrequently. As a result, you may be unable to sell or purchase our common shares at the volume, price and time you desire. The limited trading market for our common shares may cause fluctuations in the market value of our common shares to be exaggerated, leading to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market.

The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates that may vary from actual results.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. Two of our most critical estimates are the level of the allowance for loan losses and the accounting for goodwill and other intangibles. Because of the inherent nature of these estimates, we cannot provide complete assurance that we will not be required to charge earnings for significant unexpected loan losses, nor that we will not recognize a material provision for impairment of our goodwill. For additional information regarding these critical estimates, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations beginning on page 33 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in accounting standards could impact our results of operations.

The accounting standard setters, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restatement of our financial statements for prior periods.

Our information systems may experience an interruption or security breach.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption or security breach will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability.

- 15 -

We may elect or be compelled to seek additional capital in the future, but capital may not be available when it is needed.

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. In addition, we may elect to raise additional capital to support our business or to finance acquisitions, if any, or we may otherwise elect to raise additional capital. In that regard, a number of financial institutions have recently raised considerable amounts of capital as a result of deterioration in their results of operations and financial condition arising from the turmoil in the mortgage loan market, deteriorating economic conditions, declines in real estate values and other factors, which may diminish our ability to raise additional capital. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot be assured of our ability to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital if and when needed, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On January 18, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary, RDSI, filed a lawsuit against New Core Holdings, Inc. (“New Core”) in the Court of Common Pleas, Defiance County, Ohio (Case No. 11-CV-41125). RDSI’s complaint alleges, among other things, that New Core breached its loan agreement, promissory notes, merger agreement and certain other agreements entered into between RDSI and New Core in connection with the previously planned merger of RDSI with New Core. RDSI’s complaint seeks, among other things, recovery of an amount in excess of $3,260,000, plus costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, an order directing the release of certain software collateral, and a declaration that RDSI has no obligation to advance any additional loans or pay any additional funds to New Core. New Core subsequently removed this lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Case No. 3:11cv366). As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, New Core had not yet filed any answer or other response to RDSI’s complaint. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of RDSI’s success on its claims, or the amount of any damages that may be awarded to RDSI or New Core in this lawsuit.

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to various legal actions which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. Although the ultimate outcome and amount of liability, if any, with respect to these legal actions cannot presently be ascertained with certainty, in the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

I.	DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY;

INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (Continued)

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.

Interest on non-taxable securities has been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis using a statutory tax rate of 34% in 2010, 2009 and 2008.

III.	LOAN PORTFOLIO (Continued)

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 was adequate to absorb any losses on non-performing loans, as the allowance balance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are 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.

Discussion of the Non-accrual 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. While loans which are past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments are considered for non-accrual 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. These policies apply to both commercial and consumer loans.

Potential Problem Loans

As of December 31, 2010, in addition to the $12,283,000 of non-performing loans reported under Item III.C.1. above (which amount includes all loans classified by management as doubtful or loss), there were approximately $ 7,580,000 in other outstanding loans where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers caused management to have concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms (loans classified as substandard by management) and which may result in disclosure of such loans pursuant to Item III.C.1. at some future date. In regard to loans classified as substandard, management believes that such potential problem loans have been adequately evaluated in the allowance of loan losses.

Foreign Outstandings

None

Loan Concentrations

At December 31, 2010, loans outstanding related to agricultural operations or collateralized by agricultural real estate and equipment aggregated approximately $40,762,000, or 9.5 % of total loans.

Other Interest-Bearing Assets

There were no other interest-bearing assets as of December 31, 2010 which would be required to be disclosed under Item III.C.1 or Item III.C.2. if such assets were loans.

Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans

The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan losses are 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 in 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 anticipated based on past loss experience, 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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Rurban Financial Corp. (“Rurban”) is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Rurban is engaged in commercial banking, computerized data and item processing, and trust and financial services.

The following discussion is intended to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Rurban and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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 the nature and amount of problem assets and associated collateral, 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 for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on each impaired 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 valuations, 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.

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. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-06 which requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. This ASU also requires that a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis rather than a net basis for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. It also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of disaggregation, in that the reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and that a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for ASC 820 became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. See Note 22, Disclosure About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.

ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-20 which is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. See Note 4, Loans.

ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing.

In November 2009, an amendment to the accounting standards for transfers of financial assets was issued. This amendment removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity from existing GAAP and removes the exception from applying the accounting and reporting standards within ASC 810, Consolidation, to qualifying special purpose entities. This amendment also establishes conditions for accounting and reporting of a transfer of a portion of a financial asset, modifies the asset sale/derecognition criteria, and changes how retained interests are initially measured. This amendment is expected to provide greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, with the transferred assets. This accounting pronouncement is effective in 2010. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.

In November 2009, an amendment to the accounting standards for consolidation was issued. The new guidance amends the criteria for determining the primary beneficiary of, and the entity required to consolidate, a variable interest entity. This accounting pronouncement is effective in 2010. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Strategic Partnership

On April 27, 2009, the Company announced a transaction between RDSI and New Core Holdings, Inc. d/b/a New Core Banking Systems, headquartered in Birmingham, AL (“New Core”). As part of this transaction, RDSI and New Core entered into a Reseller Software License and Support Agreement pursuant to which RDSI was granted rights as the exclusive provider of New Core’s Single Source™ software. RDSI and New Core also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which New Core would be merged with a newly-created subsidiary of RDSI and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of RDSI. A prerequisite of this merger would be the spin-off of RDSI from Rurban, resulting in RDSI becoming a separate independent public company. This would be followed immediately by the merger of RDSI and New Core. On July 28, 2010, the Company announced that it had determined that the planned spin-off of RDSI and merger with New Core could not be successfully completed. RDSI continues to work to address a wind-down of the relationships with New Core.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net loss for 2010 was $15,613,210, or $3.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $382,491, or $0.07 per diluted share, and net income of $5.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, reported for 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash dividends per share were $0.00 in 2010, $0.36 in 2009 and $0.34 in 2008.

The 2010 earnings reflect the impact of the economic downturn as problem asset costs increased as well as the impairments associated with RDSI. The primary factors contributing to this change in earnings were the provision for loan loss reserves ($1.9 million “banking group only”, more than the prior-year), and the expenses incurred due to RDSI ($10.0 million). Included in the $10 million was a loan provision of $3.0 million, a reduction in accrued fee income of $0.32 million and operating expenses of $6.7 million from hardware and software impairments. In addition, a goodwill impairment at RDSI of $4.7 million was realized at December 31, 2010. The customer intangible was also impaired at RDSI at December 31, 2010, resulting in a writedown of $1.6 million.

Positive results for 2010 include stabilized loan volume and organic core deposit growth of $25.6 million. Core deposits now represent 58.2 percent of total deposits compared to 55.9 percent at year-end 2009. Both of these factors helped to produce a stable net interest margin of 3.92 percent at State Bank. The mortgage banking business line continues to grow, with residential real estate loan production of $241 million for the year, resulting in $4.8 million of revenue from gain on sale. The bulk of this revenue was directly attributable to mortgage production.

RDSI reported a 2010 fiscal year net loss of $14.0 million, compared to net income of $875 thousand reported for the 2009 fiscal year. Significantly affecting the 2010 results were the impairments ($10.0 million) associated with the Single Source™ software, as well as the writedown of goodwill ($4.7 million) and intangibles ($1.6 million).

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at December 31, 2010 were $660.3 million, compared to $673.0 million at December 31, 2009. Loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $427.5 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $452.6 million at December 31, 2009. Total deposits were $515.7 million at year-end 2010, compared to $491.2 million at December 31, 2009. Non-interest bearing deposits at December 31, 2010 were $62.7 million, compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2009. Total shareholders’ equity was $46.0 million at year-end 2010, down from $61.7 million from the prior year-end.

Significant Events of 2010

The State Bank aggressively managed down the level of problem assets throughout the year. At December 31, 2010, non-performing assets had declined $6.5 million from the prior year. The level of non-performing assets to total assets of 2.09 percent was down from 3.02 percent for the prior year. Loan delinquency has trended downward from a high of 4.33 percent of total loans in February to 2.77 percent as of the end of December 2010.

Operating expense reductions were a critical part of State Bank’s efforts during the year, and included a branch closing, staff reductions and operating efficiencies throughout the organization.

Loan loss provision was a significant drain on earnings during 2010. For the year, provision expense was $10.6 million to cover loan net charge-offs of $10.9 million, of which $3.0 million was at RDSI and $7.9 million was for State Bank. The bank’s loan loss allowance of 1.57 percent is up 7 basis points from the prior year. This allowance provided a coverage level for our non-performing loans of 55 percent.

On July 28, 2010, RDSI announced that the proposed strategic partnership and merger with New Core Holdings, Inc. could not be successfully completed as previously contemplated. As part of that announcement, RDSI incurred a significant write-off of hardware, software and development costs. That pretax write-off of $10.0 million drove the bulk of the net loss in 2010 at the Company.

On December 31, 2010, after an extensive review of the operation and projections at RDSI, the Company recorded impairments to goodwill and customer intangible held at RDSI. Goodwill was reduced by $4.7 million and the customer intangible was reduced by $1.6 million to reflect its fair value.

Significant Events of 2009

At State Bank, asset quality issues increased throughout the year, with non-performing assets increasing to 3.02 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2009, from 1.00 percent of total assets at year end 2008. Net charge-offs increased to 0.84 percent of total loans for 2009 compared to 0.19 percent of loans for 2008.

During 2009, State Bank closed two banking centers as part of its continuing program to reduce operating expenses.

On April 27, 2009, RDSI announced a strategic partnership with New Core Holdings, Inc. d/b/a New Core Banking Systems, headquartered in Birmingham, AL (“New Core”). As part of this partnership, RDSI and New Core Banking Systems entered into a Reseller Software License and Support Agreement pursuant to which RDSI was granted rights as the exclusive provider of New Core’s Single Source™ software. RDSI and New Core also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which New Core would be merged with a newly-created subsidiary of RDSI and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of RDSI. A prerequisite of this merger would be the spin-off of RDSI from Rurban, resulting in RDSI becoming a separate independent public company. This would be followed immediately by the merger of RDSI and New Core.

- 36 -

Rurban increased its dividend to shareholders from $0.34 per share during 2008 to $0.36 per share in 2009. However, due to an increase in problem assets in the fourth quarter of 2009, the dividend for the first quarter of 2010 was suspended and on-going dividend payouts will be evaluated quarterly.

The mortgage banking business line continued to grow in 2009, with residential real estate loan production of $238 million for the year, driven by the refinancing boom, compared to $38 million for 2008.

Included within the $5.7 million provision for loan losses, was a provision for a $1.15 million loss recorded due to mortgage fraud by an external title insurance broker. State Bank plans to pursue litigation filed against the principal involved, the local title company, and a title insurance company for recovery of the fraud loss.

	(dollars in thousands)
Net Interest Income	$	19,962	$	20,999		-5	%	$	20,999	$	17,528		20	%

Net interest income was $20.0 million for 2010 compared to $21.0 million for 2009, a decrease of 4.9 percent driven mainly by lower loan volumes. Average earning assets declined to $564.6 million in 2010 compared to $570.1 million in 2009, also due to loan volume. The consolidated 2010 full-year net interest margin declined 12 basis points to 3.67 percent compared to 3.79 percent at December 31, 2009.

Net interest income was $21.0 million for 2009 compared to $17.5 million for 2008, an increase of 19.8 percent, which resulted from the Banking segment being in a liability-sensitive position and the full-year impact of the National Bank of Montpelier (“NBM”) acquisition. Average earning assets also increased to $570.1 million in 2009 compared to $508.3 million in 2008, again as a result of the full-year impact of the NBM acquisition. The consolidated 2009, or full-year net interest margin improved 26 basis points to 3.79 percent, compared to 3.53 percent for 2008.

Loan Loss Provision

A Provision for Loan Losses of $10.6 million was taken in 2010 compared to $5.7 million taken for 2009. The $4.9 million increase was due to the higher level of charge-offs driven by the continual weakening of the economy. For 2010, net charge-offs totaled $10.9 million, or 2.55 percent of average loans. Management continues to proactively identify problem loans and is developing strategies for removing these loans from non-performing status. State Bank anticipates that 2011 will show improvement from the current level of problem assets.

A Provision for Loan Losses of $5.74 million was taken in 2009 compared to $690 thousand taken for 2008. The $5.05 million increase was due to the increase in problem assets primarily driven by the continual weakening of the economy. For 2009, net charge-offs totaled $3.73 million, or 0.84 percent of average loans. Consistent with external economic conditions, State Bank witnessed an increase in delinquencies within all segments of its loan portfolio.

Total non-interest income was $20.8 million for 2010 compared to $29.3 million for 2009, representing an $8.5 million, or 29.0 percent decrease year-over-year. This decrease was driven by a $9.1 million decline in data processing income as a result of the loss of data processing clients by RDSI during 2010. As of December 31, 2010, only one client bank (State Bank) remained as a data processing customer of RDSI. The equity markets throughout 2010 held trust fees flat, which are generally calculated on invested balances. The increase in gain on sale of loans and loan servicing fees was driven by mortgage banking. The Company originated $241 million in saleable loan production during 2010. The sales of these loans allowed for the sold and serviced loan portfolio to grow from $208 million in 2009 to over $328 million at December 31, 2010. This portfolio provides a servicing fee annuity, which is expected to provide servicing revenue for the foreseeable future.

Total non-interest income was $29.3 million for 2009 compared to $27.9 million for 2008, representing a $1.41 million, or 5.1 percent increase year-over-year. This increase was driven by a $2.61 million increase in net gain on sale of loans. Increases in net realized gain on sales of securities of $960 thousand and loan servicing fees of $208 thousand, or 88.6 percent, were offset by decreases in Data Processing fees of $1.31 million, or 6.48 percent, and Trust Fees of $573 thousand, or 18.6 percent. The loss of RDSI’s largest customer in July of 2009, coupled with the de-conversion of six client banks in the fourth quarter of 2009, caused the majority of the decline in data processing income. The equity markets throughout 2009 negatively impacted trust fees, which are generally calculated on invested balances. The increase in gain on sale of loans and loan servicing fees was driven by mortgage banking. In 2009, $213 million of saleable loans were generated compared to just $38 million in 2008. The sales of these loans also allowed for the sold and serviced loan portfolio to grow from $71 million in 2008 to over $208 million at December 31, 2009. This portfolio provides a servicing fee annuity, which is expected to provide servicing revenue for the foreseeable future.

	(dollars in thousands)
Data Service Fees	$	9,736	$	18,860		-48	%	$	18,860	$	20,165		-6	%

Data service fees decreased $9.1 million, or 48.4 percent, to $9.7 million in 2010 from $18.9 million in 2009. During 2010, RDSI’s data processing clients, utilizing the ITI software administered by RDSI, decreased from 77 to only one utilizing this software, State Bank. In late 2009, the decrease of clients began, accounting for the 6 percent revenue decline in the 2009 fiscal year.

RDSI reported a 2010 fiscal year net loss of $14.0 million, compared to $875 thousand reported for the 2009 fiscal year. Significantly affecting our 2010 results were the impairment expenses incurred due to the unsuccessful spin-off of RDSI and RDSI’s planned merger with New Core Banking Systems, as well as the goodwill and other intangible impairment taken at RDSI.

Data service fees decreased $1.31 million, or 6.5 percent, to $18.9 million in 2009 from $20.2 million in 2008, and increased $783 thousand, or 4 percent, from 2007 to 2008. Data processing fees contributed 63.7 percent of Rurban’s recurring non-interest income for 2009. The majority of the decrease from 2008 to 2009 was due to the loss of RDSI’s largest customer in July of 2009, as well as six client banks de-converting in the fourth quarter of 2009.

RDSI reported 2009 fiscal year net income of $875 thousand, compared to $2.82 million reported for the 2008 fiscal year. Significantly affecting our 2009 results were the extraordinary expenses incurred due to the planned spin-off of RDSI and RDSI’s planned merger with New Core Banking Systems.

Non-interest expense for 2010 increased $7.5 million, or 16.7 percent over 2009. Impairment expenses at RDSI were $13.0 million, and when excluded, total non-interest expense was down 12.3 percent from the prior year. As RDSI clients declined, the Company made commensurate declines in expenses, mainly through a reduction in work force, as decreased staff levels were required to service remaining clients. State Bank continued to have higher than normal expenses related to OREO and foreclosure. Total expense writedowns at RDSI for 2010 included software, hardware and other developmental costs due to Single Source™ ($6.7 million), a Goodwill impairment ($4.7 million) and customer intangible impairment ($1.6 million).

Non-interest expense for 2009 increased $7.45 million, or 19.9 percent over 2008. The full-year expenses of the NBM acquisition contributed $1.70 million of this increase, while mortgage banking expenses increased $2.43 million over 2008. Professional fees increased $1.03 million from 2008 due mainly to fees incurred in connection with the planned spin-off of RDSI and RDSI’s planned merger with New Core Banking Systems. Insurance expense increased $1.07 million year-over-year due mainly to increased FDIC insurance premiums. Finally, equipment expense increased $1.15 million over 2008 due mainly to accelerated software amortization and additional equipment purchases by RDSI.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Investments

During 2010, the Company increased its level of available for sale securities by nearly $28 million and ended the year at $132.8 million. This increase was the result of lower loan volumes for the Company coupled with higher levels of deposit growth. The increased levels of investments impacted the Company’s net interest margin as investment yields were lower than potential loan yields.

Total	$	436,875				$	469,743							$	454,186

Loans decreased $25.1 million to $427.8 million at December 31, 2010. Loan volume declined in most categories, except for residential loans. Loans held for sale decreased by nearly $8 million, as the bank reduced the level of residential loans in process. State Bank aggressively moved out a number of problem credits during the year.

Loans increased $2.5 million to $452.9 million at December 31, 2009. This growth was due to commercial real estate growth of $18.3 million and commercial growth of $997 thousand. Residential real estate and agriculture loan balances decreased $14.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively in 2009. The reduction in balances in residential real estate was due to the refinancing boom. The majority of this balance reduction was included in salable mortgages into the secondary market.

Goodwill and Intangibles

The Company completed the most recent annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2010. The first step impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting units with the carrying values, including goodwill. The reporting units are State Bank and RDSI. State Bank passed step one, which concluded no impairment. RDSI failed the step one and step two tests, which resulted in an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $4.7 million. This impairment was realized at December 31, 2010. The customer related intangible at RDSI was a direct result of the customers acquired as part of the DCM acquisition. As the initial level of customers has not expanded since the acquisition, it was determined that an impairment was required of $1.6 million.

The fair value testing of Goodwill and Intangibles was conducted pursuant to ASC Topic 350 and utilized company prepared projections of cash flows, historical financial results and market based comparisons. These inputs were used to evaluate the expected future cash flows of the businesses and those results determined the fair value of the Goodwill and Intangibles.

Planned Purchases of Premises and Equipment

Management plans to purchase additional premises and equipment to meet the current and future needs of the Company’s customers. These purchases, including buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment (which includes computer hardware, software, office furniture and license agreements), are currently expected to total approximately $100 thousand for State Bank and $0 for RDSI, over the next year. These purchases are expected to be funded by cash on hand and from cash generated from current operations.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity relates primarily to the Company’s ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers’ withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Sources 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, loans held for sale, and borrowings from various sources. The assets, excluding the borrowings, are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $172.2 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $146.8 million at December 31, 2009. During 2010, the Company continued to utilize strategies that would move the balance sheet to a more asset-sensitive position.

The Company’s commercial real estate, residential first and multi-family mortgage portfolio of $262.7 million at December 31, 2010 can and has been readily used to collateralize borrowings, which is an additional source of liquidity. Management believes the Company’s current liquidity level, without these borrowings, is sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. At December 31, 2010, all eligible commercial real estate, residential first, and multi-family mortgage loans were pledged under an 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 2010, 2009 and 2008 follows.

The Company experienced positive cash flows from operating activities in 2010, negative cash flows from operating activities in 2009, and positive cash flows from operating activities in 2008. Net cash from operating activities was $16.9 million, $(7.2) million and $9.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Significant non-cash items from operations included software and fixed asset impairments ($4.9 million), goodwill and intangible impairments ($6.3 million) and OREO impairments of $972 thousand. Net cash flows from loans originated and held for sale was a positive $12.6 million.

Cash flow from investing activities was a use of cash of $18.1 million, $9.5 million, and $647 thousand for December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The changes in net cash from investing activities for 2010 include the purchase of available-for-sale securities of $76.6 million, net change in loans of $11.1 million and the purchase of premises and equipment of $2.1 million. The changes in net cash from investing activities for 2009 include the purchase of available-for-sale securities of $67.9 million, net change in loans of $7.7 million and the purchase of premises and equipment of $3.4 million. 2008 changes in net cash from investing activities include the purchase of NBM of $14.8 million, and purchases of premises and equipment of $8.0 million. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company received $10.0 million, $27.1 million and $36.5 million, respectively, from sales of securities available for sale, while proceeds from repayments, maturities and calls of securities were $37.7 million, $40.8 million and $48.1 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

- 42 -

Net cash flow provided from financing activities was $6.9 million, $13.5 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Significant financing activity during 2010 included repayment of Fed Funds purchased at $5.0 million and repayment of FHLB advances of $12.5 million. 2009 and 2008 had FHLB advances of $7.5 million and $24.0 million, respectively. Finally, $24.5 million, $7.0 million and $(8.6) million of the change is attributable to the change in deposits for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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, lines of credit from correspondent banks and the national certificate of deposit market. Management expects the risk of changes in off-balance-sheet arrangements to be immaterial to earnings.

The Company’s commercial real estate, residential first, and multi-family mortgage portfolios of $262.7 million have been pledged to meet collateralization requirements as of December 31, 2010. Based on the current collateralization requirements of the FHLB, approximately $4.2 million of additional borrowing capacity existed at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $11.5 million in federal funds lines. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $20.5 million in federal funds lines. Federal funds borrowed at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0 and $5.0 million, respectively. The Company also had $41.3 million in unpledged securities that may be used to pledge for additional borrowings.

At December 31, 2010, Rurban Financial Corp., the bank Holding Company, had a $5 million line of credit (LOC). The balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1.7 million and $0, respectively.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset liability management involves developing, executing and monitoring strategies to maintain appropriate liquidity, maximize net interest income and minimize the impact that significant fluctuations in market interest rates would have on current and future earnings. The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consist 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 specific 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 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 profitability and shareholder 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, which will form 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 or lengthening terms of new loans, investments, or liabilities; 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 contracts, 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 but may purchase such instruments in the future if market conditions are favorable.

Quantitative Market Risk Disclosure. 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 December 31, 2010. The table 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 historical 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 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 historical 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.

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. The Company continued to reposition its balance sheet over the past two years, by liquidating investments and reducing high cost certificates of deposit, which had a positive impact on the margin and helped balance the gap position.

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 90 days, and 6) Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings with terms of one day to ten years.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The majority of assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature and therefore, the Company differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation significantly affects non-interest expense, which tends to rise during periods of general inflation.

Management believes the most significant impact on financial results is the Company’s ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities and actively manages loan, security, and liability maturities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations on net income and shareholders’ equity.

The Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, appear on pages F-1 through F-57 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not Applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

During the course of our external audit for the year ended December 31, 2010, we noted an adjustment identified by our external auditors related to an impairment of an intangible asset at RDSI. While management has concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, due to this material weakness, this did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements, including the annual and interim financial statements for 2010.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

With the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010.

- 48 -

Material Weakness

Management’s evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

During the course of Rurban’s external audit for the year ended December 31, 2010, Rurban recorded an adjustment identified by the Company’s external auditors related to an impairment of the intangible customer asset at its data and item processing subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. (“RDSI”). This impairment was caused primarily by the loss of data and item processing customers of RDSI and the resulting decrease in the projected future revenues of RDSI. As a result of this adjustment, Rurban will record a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2010, to reflect the impairment of the customer intangible at RDSI.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness described above, management has concluded that the financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management has taken remedial steps to address the material weakness discussed above by strengthening their processes regarding intangible impairment analysis, which shall occur on an annual basis.

Management’s Report on Internal Control

Over Financial Reporting

The management of Rurban Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

a)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

c)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

With the supervision and participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria set forth for effective internal control over financial reporting by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control Integrated Framework”. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as a result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

Management’s evaluation identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the course of the Company’s external audit for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an adjustment identified by the Company’s external auditors related to an impairment of the intangible customer asset at RDSI This impairment resulted from the loss of customers and associated revenue at RDSI during the 2010 fiscal year.

While management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, due to this material weakness, this did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements, including the annual and interim financial statements for 2010.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders

Rurban Financial Corp.

Defiance, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rurban Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rurban Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Rurban Financial Corp. (“Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank”), RFCBC, Inc. (“RFCBC”), Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. dba RDSI Banking Systems (“RDSI”), Rurban Statutory Trust I (“RST I”), and Rurban Statutory Trust II (“RST II”). State Bank owns all the outstanding stock of Rurban Mortgage Company (“RMC”) and Rurban Investments, Inc. (“RII”). State Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana. State Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. State Bank is regulated by certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. RFCBC operates as a loan subsidiary that continues to administer one classified loan. RDSI provides data and item processing services to community banks in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Reliance Financial Services (“RFS”) operating as a division of State Bank, offers a diversified array of trust and financial services to customers nationwide. RST I and RST II are trusts which were organized in 2000 and 2005, respectively, to manage the Company’s trust preferred securities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, State Bank, RFCBC, RDSI, RMC, and RII. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, loan servicing rights, valuation of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) and fair value of financial instruments.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash equivalents consisted primarily of interest and non-interest bearing demand deposit balances held by correspondent banks.

Effective October 3, 2009, the FDIC’s insurance limits increased to $250,000. The increase in federally insured limits was set to expire on December 31, 2013, however, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed on July 21, 2010, made this limit permanent. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s interest-bearing cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $1,110,000.

Securities

Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive income.

Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method.

For debt securities with fair value below carrying value when the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not, the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to non-interest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in non-interest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in non-interest income upon sale of the loan.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoffs, are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status not later than 90 days past due, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. All interest accrued, but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off, are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the non-collectability of a loan balance is probable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that State Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration each of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, agricultural, and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, State Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements.

Premises and Equipment

Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method for buildings and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long-lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset’s cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

December 31, 2010 and 2009

Fixed asset and software impairment of $4,892,000 and $0 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock are required investments for institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank systems. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations related to foreclosed assets and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value, if any, are not recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill impairment of $4,681,000 and $0 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted-average periods ranging from one to fifteen years. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value. Purchased software is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from one to three years. Other intangibles impairment of $1,592,000 and $0 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value.

Share-Based Employee Compensation Plan

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a share-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 19.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before the maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company files consolidated income tax returns for its subsidiaries.

Treasury Shares

Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. On April 12, 2007, Rurban initiated a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares, or approximately five percent, of the Company’s outstanding shares. On July 15, 2009, the Company announced an extension of the repurchase plan for an additional fifteen months. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had repurchased a total of 165,654 shares at an average cost of $10.68 per share. There were no shares repurchased during 2010. On October 12, 2010, the stock repurchase plan expired.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during each year.

Current Economic Conditions

The current economic environment presents financial institutions with unprecedented circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses, and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 and 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no affect on net income.

Note 2: Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks

State Bank is required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve required at December 31, 2010, was $1,441,000.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was $30,412,621 at December 31, 2010, and $24,104,265 at December 31, 2009. The securities delivered for repurchase agreements were $58,621,708 at December 31, 2010 and $55,504,340 at December 31, 2009.

Gross gains of $451,475, $961,013, and $0, and gross losses of $590, $693, and $0 resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities were realized for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The tax expense for net security gains for 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $153,301, $326,509, and $0, respectively.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2010 and 2009, were $40,399,444 and $20,140,212, which was approximately 30 percent and 19 percent of the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio, respectively. Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

In 2002, the Company took an after-tax loss of $1.1 million on an investment in WorldCom bonds. In 2006, $889,454 of this loss was recovered, which resulted in a $587,000 after-tax gain. In 2008, an additional $197,487 of this loss was recovered, which resulted in a $130,000 after-tax gain. In 2010, an additional $73,774 of this loss was recovered, which resulted in a $49,000 after-tax gain.

The total unrealized losses on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, all of which are residential mortgage-backs, is derived mainly from three private label senior tranche residential collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) securities with a book value of $2.0 million and a fair value of $1.9 million. In addition to these three private label CMO’s, the Company also holds two GSE CMO’s, which have a book and fair value of $261 thousand. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. When the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not, the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary impairment is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security. Management has determined there is no other-than-temporary-impairment on its CMO securities.

State Bank uses a nine tier risk rating system to grade its loans. The grade of a loan may change at any time during the life of the loan. The risk ratings are described as follows:

One (1) Superior - Risk is negligible. Loans are to well-seasoned borrowers, displaying sound financial condition, consistent superior earnings performance, strong capitalization, and access to a range of financing alternatives.

Two (2) Excellent - Risk is minimal. Borrower is well capitalized, operates in a stable industry, financial ratios exceed peers, and financial trends are positive.

Three (3) Good - Risk is modest. Borrower has good overall financial condition and adequate capitalization to withstand temporary setbacks. Financial trends are positive, and there is clear ability to service debt from the primary source.

Four (4) Average - Risk is acceptable. Borrowers in this category may be characterized by acceptable asset quality, but may face a degree of uncertainty due to new business, untried market, high degree of leverage, expansion, management change, or industry conditions.

Four Monitored 4(m) = Monitored Pass Credits - Risk is increasing. Borrowers in this category may be characterized by an increasing amount of risk due to one or more of the following characteristics listed below. Additionally, these borrowers require a higher than normal amount of monitoring by the relationship manager and bank management. Borrowers who are placed in this category may also demonstrate the potential for an upgrade in the next 12 months given improvement in one or more of the factors listed below.

Declining trends in the earnings and cash flow of the company is evident by moderate to severe losses although debt service coverage remains within policy limits.

Note 4 – Loans (Continued)

Absence of relevant or stale financial information.

Restructure or modification to the loan agreement for the purpose of additional funds to support ongoing operations of the company.

The borrower demonstrates a material weakness or declining trend in collateral support for the given loans.

Five (5) Special Mention - Defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or the institution's credit position. Special mention credits are not considered as part of the classified extensions of credit category and do not expose State Bank to sufficient risk to warrant classification. Extensions of credit that might be detailed in this category include those in which:

The lending officer may be unable to properly supervise the credit because of an inadequate loan or credit agreement.

Questions exist regarding the condition of and/or control over collateral.

Economic or market conditions may unfavorably affect the obligor in the future.

A declining trend in the obligor's operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet exists, but not to the point that repayment is jeopardized.

Other deviations from prudent lending practices are present.

The special mention category should not be used to identify an extension of credit that has as its sole weakness credit-data or documentation exceptions not material to the repayment of the credit. It should also not be used to list extensions of credit that contain risks usually associated with that particular type of lending.

Any extension of credit involves certain risks, regardless of the collateral or the borrower's capacity and willingness to repay the debt.

Six (6) Substandard - A "substandard" extension of credit is inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that State Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified substandard.

Seven (7) Doubtful - Has all the weaknesses in one classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, or refinancing plans.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

An entire credit is not classified as doubtful when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable. An example of proper use of the doubtful category is the case of a company being liquidated, with the trustee-in-bankruptcy indicating a minimum disbursement of forty percent (40%) and a maximum of sixty-five percent (65%) to unsecured creditors including State Bank. In this situation, estimates are based on liquidation-value appraisals with actual values yet to be realized. By definition, the only portion of the credit that is doubtful is the twenty-five percent (25%) difference between forty percent (40%) and sixty-five percent (65%). A proper classification of such a credit would show forty percent (40%) substandard, twenty-five percent (25%) doubtful, and thirty-five percent (35%) loss.

Eight (8) Loss - Considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a Bank asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Loans failing to meet the minimum conditions of the Doubtful classifications are charged off.

There are no future commitments to advance funds in connection with any impaired loans.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable State Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include non-performing commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

At December 31, 2010, State Bank had $399,000 of residential mortgages, $190,000 of commercial real estate loans and $1,907,000 of commercial domestic loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired. At December 31, 2009, State Bank had $211,000 of residential mortgages, $2,545,000 of commercial domestic loans, $3,080,000 of commercial real estate loans and $35,000 of consumer loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired. In addition to these amounts, State Bank had troubled debt restructurings that were performing in accordance with their modified terms of $452,000 of residential mortgage, $581,000 of commercial real estate loans, $68,000 of consumer loans, and $6,000 of agricultural loans at December 31, 2010 and $701,000 of residential mortgage, $8,000 of commercial domestic loans, $602,000 of commercial real estate loans and $51,000 of consumer loans at December 31, 2009.

The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) has a direct impact on the provision expense. An increase in the ALLL is funded through recoveries and provision expense. The following tables summarize the activities in the ALLL. The first table breaks down the activity within ALLL and shows the contribution provided by both the recoveries and the provision along with the reduction of the allowance caused by charge-offs. The second table discloses how much of ALLL is attributed to each segment of the loan portfolio, and the extent to which loans are individually and collectively evaluated for impairment.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were:

	2010			2009		2008
Balance as of January 1	$	21,414,790		$	21,414,790	$	13,940,618

Balance as of December 31	$	16,733,830		$	21,414,790	$	21,414,790

Goodwill impairment is tested on the last day of the last quarter of each calendar year. The goodwill impairment test is performed in two steps. If the fair market value of the stock is greater than the calculated book value of the stock, the goodwill is deemed not to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair market value is less than the calculated book value, an additional step of determining fair value is taken to determine impairment. Goodwill at both State Bank and RDSI was reviewed independently as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Step one indicated the fair market value of The State Bank was in excess of its book value and no further testing was required. Goodwill at RDSI was also reviewed as of December 31, 2010 and after an extensive review, it was determined that the Goodwill evaluation failed step one, and step two indicated that the carrying value of Goodwill was in excess of its fair value. During 2010, RDSI lost a significant number of clients utilizing data processing and item processing services. This loss of clients, with their associated revenue, resulted in an impairment of Goodwill. As such, an impairment was taken, resulting in a non-cash write down of $4.7 million.

The “Customer relationship intangible” was evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2010. This intangible, which is related to RDSI, was associated with the customers acquired as part of the Diverse Computer Marketers (“DCM”) acquisition. While the initial level of customers has not expanded since the acquisition, the expected level of future revenues from these customers has declined. This decrease in future revenue resulted in the impairment of the intangible. As a result, an impairment write-down of $1,591,844 was recorded at year-end.

At June 30, 2010, due to the determination that the planned spin-off of RDSI would not occur, coupled with the loss of data processing clients, RDSI recorded an impairment to the purchased software related to the data processing business at RDSI. As a result, the gross carrying amount for purchased software-data processing was reduced by $11.7 million.

RDSI’s contracts with Fiserv/ITI have been effectively cancelled, effective December 31, 2010. Following applicable Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) literature, the Company has revised its estimate related to the amortization of the purchased software noted above. The software was being amortized over a period of 10 years, whereby the Company had approximately eight years remaining. However, based on accounting guidance noted above, the Company has revised the software's estimated useful life and amortized the remaining balance through December 2010. The result of the accelerated amortization was an additional $1,659,000 and $761,000 of amortization expense in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 13: Trust Preferred Securities

On September 15, 2005, RST II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities. The sole assets of RST II are the junior subordinated debentures of the Company and payments there under. The junior subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of RST II under the Capital Securities. Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable quarterly at an interest rate that changes quarterly and is based on the 3-month LIBOR and are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. These securities are considered Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the Capital Securities was $10,000,000.

On September 7, 2000, RST I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed a pooled private offering of 10,000 Capital Securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for junior subordinated debentures with terms similar to the Capital Securities. The sole assets of RST I are the junior subordinated debentures of the Company and payments thereunder. The junior subordinated debentures and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of RST I under the Capital Securities. Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable semi-annually at the annual rate of 10.6 percent and are included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. These securities are considered Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding principal balance of the Capital Securities was $10,000,000.

The junior subordinated debentures are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Capital Securities at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation amount. Subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required, the Capital Securities are redeemable prior to the maturity date of September 7, 2030, at the option of the Company: on or after September 7, 2020 at par; or on or after September 7, 2010 at a premium; or upon occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture.

On August 5, 2010, the Company notified the trustees of the Capital Securities of the Company’s election to defer (a) the next four quarterly interest payments on the RST II Capital Securities, beginning on September 15, 2010 and extending through September 15, 2011, and (b) the next two semi-annual interest payments on the RST I Capital Securities, beginning on September 7, 2010 and extending through September 7, 2011. During any interest deferral period, the trust preferred indentures prohibit the Company from paying common stock dividends or repurchasing shares of common stock.

Note 16: Regulatory Matters

The Company and State Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt 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), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2010, that the Company and State Bank exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2010, 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 table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed State Bank’s status as well-capitalized.

Note 17: Related Party Transactions

Certain directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of the Company, including associates of such persons, are loan customers. A summary of the related party loan activity, for loans aggregating $60,000 or more to any one related party, follows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

	2010			2009

Balance, January 1	$	2,620,000		$	5,465,000

Balance, December 31	$	344,291		$	2,620,000

In management’s opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Due to the retirement of four directors during 2010, related party transactions decreased significantly from year-end 2009, which is reflected in “Other changes” in the table above.

Deposits from related parties held by State Bank at December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $264,000 and $857,000, respectively.

Note 18: Employee Benefits

The Company has retirement savings 401(k) plans covering substantially all employees. Employees contributing up to 4 percent of their compensation receive a Company match of 100 percent of the employee’s contribution. Employee contributions are vested immediately and the Company’s matching contributions are fully vested after three years of employment. Employer contributions charged to expense for 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $487,681, $551,716, and $288,825, respectively.

Also, the Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain active and retired officers. The agreements provide monthly payments for up to 15 years that equal 15 percent to 25 percent of average compensation prior to retirement or death. The charges to expense for the current agreements were $178,442, $115,656, and $239,440 for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. In 2010 and 2009, previously accrued benefits under the agreements in the amount of $68,728 and $78,163, respectively, were reversed and credited to expense. Such charges reflect the straight-line accrual over the period until full eligibility of the present value of benefits due each participant on the full eligibility date, using a 6 percent discount factor.

Life insurance plans are provided for certain executive officers on a split-dollar basis. The Company is the owner of the split-dollar policies. The officers are entitled to a sum equal to two times either the employee’s annual salary at death, if actively employed, or final annual salary, if retired, less $50 thousand, not to exceed the employee’s portion of the death benefit. The Company is entitled to the portion of the death proceeds which equates to the cash surrender value less any loans on the policy and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Company. The employees have the right to designate one or more beneficiaries to receive their share of the proceeds payable upon death. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies and life insurance policies related to the Company’s supplemental retirement plan totaled approximately $2,171,737 at December 31, 2010, and $2,118,682 at December 31, 2009.

Additional life insurance is provided to certain officers through a bank-owned life insurance policy (“BOLI”). By way of a separate split-dollar agreement, the policy interests are divided between the bank and the insured’s beneficiary. State Bank owns the policy cash value and a portion of the policy net death benefit, over and above the cash value assigned to the insured’s beneficiary. During 2007, State Bank elected to add $1 million in additional BOLI on two key executive officers. The cash surrender value of all life insurance policies totaled approximately $11,039,510 at December 31, 2010, and $10,943,839 at December 31, 2009.

The Company has a noncontributory employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) covering substantially all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Voluntary contributions are made by the Company to the plan. Each eligible employee is vested based upon years of service, including prior years of service. The Company’s contributions to the account of each employee become fully vested after three years of service.

Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company, are made to the ESOP. Allocated shares in the ESOP for each of the three years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were 467,928, 523,600, and 468,968, respectively.

Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company, are made to the ESOP. ESOP expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $0, $618,543, and $608,699, respectively.

Note 19: Share Based Compensation Plan

On March 12, 2007, the Company's share-based compensation plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan") expired in accordance with its terms. In April 2008, the shareholders approved the Rurban Financial Corp. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan").

The 2008 Plan permits the grant or award of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), and restricted stock for up to 250,000 Common Shares of the Company.

The 2008 Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by offering employees, directors and advisory board members of the Company and its subsidiaries an opportunity to acquire or increase their ownership interest in the Company through grants of equity-based awards. The 2008 Plan permits equity-based Awards to be used to attract, motivate, reward and retain highly competent individuals upon whose judgment, initiative, leadership and efforts are key to the success of the Company by encouraging those individuals to become shareholders of the Company.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, and those option awards generally vest based on 5 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms.

The compensation cost charged against income for both the 1997 and 2008 Plans were $49,164, $143,261 and $119,210 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements were $16,716, $48,709 and $40,531 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for the period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. In 2010, 185,750 options were granted. In 2009, 1,500 options were granted.

Note 22: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also 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. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Available-for-Sale Securities

The fair value of available-for-sale securities are determined by various valuation methodologies. Level 1 securities include money market mutual funds. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in an active market. Level 2 securities include U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities and obligations of political and state subdivisions. Level 2 inputs do not include quoted prices for individual securities in active markets; however, they do include inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable for the individual security being valued. Such observable inputs include interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates. Also included are inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a non recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. If the impaired loan is collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining an independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value based on the Company’s loan review policy. All impaired loans held by the Company were collateral dependent at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models associated with the servicing rights and discounting the cash flows using discount market rates. The servicing portfolio has been valued using all relevant positive and negative cash flows including servicing fees, miscellaneous income and float; marginal costs of servicing; the cost of carry of advances; and foreclosure losses; and applying certain prevailing assumptions used in the marketplace. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

Foreclosed Assets Held For Sale

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value (based on current appraised value) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management has determined fair value measurements on other real estate owned primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed, and current and past offers for the other real estate under evaluation.

Goodwill

Goodwill is evaluated independently for its fair value. This measurement uses projected cash flows from operations and discounts those using appropriate discount rates to calculate fair value. Management engaged a third party to determine the fair value of Goodwill in line with procedures pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350-20.

Intangible

Intangible assets are evaluated independently for fair value on an annual basis. The measurement of these intangible assets is in line with procedures pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350-30.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and Accrued Interest Payable and Receivable

The carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Loans

The estimated fair value for loans receivable, including loans held for sale, net, is based on estimates of the rate State Bank would charge for similar loans at December 31, 2010 and 2009, applied for the time period until the loans are assumed to re-price or be paid.

Deposits & Other Borrowings

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates the fair value. The estimated fair value for fixed-maturity time deposits, as well as borrowings, is based on estimates of the rate State Bank could pay on similar instruments with similar terms and maturities at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The estimated fair value for other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments approximate cost at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are not considered significant to this presentation.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments, and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

Note 23: Commitments and Credit Risk

State Bank grants commercial, agribusiness, consumer and residential loans to customers throughout the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Although State Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, agricultural loans comprised approximately 10% and 8% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by State Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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.

Salary continuation agreements with certain executive officers contain provisions regarding certain events leading to separation from the Company, before the executive officer’s normal retirement date, which could result in cash payments in excess of amounts accrued.

Note 24:Effect of Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance was adopted into the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about: a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer of financial assets on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The Company has adopted the new guidance for 2010 and has determined it to have no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2010-20, “Receivables: Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASC Topic 310), issued on July 21, 2010, concerns improved disclosures regarding the credit quality in a financial institution’s loan portfolio. The guidance requires additional disaggregation of the credit portfolio by portfolio segment and class of receivable, a revised roll forward of the allowance for credit losses, presentation of the credit portfolio by credit quality indicators, an aging schedule of past due receivables, disclosure of troubled debt restructurings and purchases and sales of receivables by portfolio segment. The period-end disclosures are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010 (December 31, 2010 for the Company). The activity disclosures are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). The adoption of FASB ASU 2010-20 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 26: Segment Information

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between Banking and Data/Item Processing operations. Loans, investments, deposits and financial services provide the revenues in the Banking segment and include the accounts of State Bank and RFCBC.

Service fees provide the revenues in the Data/Item Processing operation and include the accounts of RDSI. Other segments include the accounts of the Company, Rurban Financial Corp., which provides management services to its subsidiaries.

The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Segment performance is evaluated using net interest income, other revenue, operating expense and net income. Goodwill is allocated. Income taxes and indirect expenses are allocated based on revenue. Transactions among segments are made at fair value. The Company allocates certain expenses to other segments. Information reported internally for performance assessment follows.

On April 27, 2009, the Company announced a transaction between RDSI and New Core Holdings, Inc. d/b/a New Core Banking Systems, headquartered in Birmingham, AL (“New Core”). As part of this transaction, RDSI and New Core entered into a Reseller Software License and Support Agreement pursuant to which RDSI was granted rights as the exclusive provider of New Core’s Single Source™ software. RDSI and New Core also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which New Core would be merged with a newly-created subsidiary of RDSI and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of RDSI. A prerequisite of this merger would be the spin-off of RDSI from Rurban, resulting in RDSI becoming a separate independent public company. This would be followed immediately by the merger of RDSI and New Core. On July 28, 2010, the Company announced that it had determined that the planned spin-off of RDSI and merger with New Core could not be successfully completed. RDSI continues to work to address a wind-down of the relationship with New Core.

Note 29: Subsequent Events

On March 9, 2011, Rurban Financial Corp. (“Rurban”) and its wholly-owned nonbank data services subsidiary, Rurbanc Data Services, Inc., dba RDSI Banking Systems (“RDSI”), entered into a Consent Order (the “Consent Order”) with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) that directs RDSI to take certain actions to strengthen its financial condition and operations. Rurban’s banking subsidiary, The State Bank and Trust Company, is not a party to the Consent Order.

The Consent Order specifies, among other conditions, that RDSI must strengthen board oversight of critical areas of operations, maintain appropriate capital levels, strengthen working capital management, and modify its strategic plan to improve earnings. While the Consent Order remains in effect, RDSI is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends to Rurban without the prior approval of the FRB, and Rurban is prohibited from making any capital investments in or loans to RDSI without the prior approval of the FRB.

As of the date of this report, the Company is in violation of certain loan covenants on the FTB loan detailed in Note 11. The issuance of the Consent Order described above constitutes a loan covenant violation, in addition to the Company’s continued violation of the ratio of non-performing assets.
