OHIO LEGACY CORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation : The consolidated financial statements include Ohio Legacy Corp (Ohio Legacy) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ohio Legacy Bank, National Association (Bank). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. References to the Company include Ohio Legacy, consolidated with its subsidiary, the Bank.

Ohio Legacy is a bank holding company incorporated on July 1, 1999 under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Bank began operations on October 3, 2000. The Bank provides financial services through its full-service offices in Wooster and Canton, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and certificate of deposit accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business and consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

These consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2008, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are in compliance with U.S. GAAP. However, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The financial information presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, which includes information and disclosures not presented in this report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

Use of Estimates : To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, judgments about the other than temporary impairment of securities, fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets and the fair value of other real estate owned are particularly subject to change.

Reclassifications : Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Income Taxes : Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTE 2 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company granted 150,000 warrants (Director Warrants) to organizers of the Company at the time of closing of the 2000 Offering. The Director Warrants vest in equal percentages each year over a three-year period from the date of grant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase a share of common stock at $10.00 per share and will expire ten years from the date of issuance. At June 30, 2008 all Director Warrants were vested and exercisable. No warrants have been exercised to date.

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Expenditures that improve the fair value of the property are capitalized. It is the Company’s intention to make periodic reassessments of the value of assets held in this category and record valuation adjustments or write-downs as the reassessments dictate. Real estate owned at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes a property placed into receivership until it can be improved and sold in an orderly fashion.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND RELATED CONTINGENCIES

The Company owns 80,000 shares of 8.375% Series Z preferred stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and 40,000 shares of 7.625% Series R preferred stock issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). The Company’s holding of this preferred stock has declined substantially in value since the June 30, 2008 balance sheet date. Management evaluated this decline in value and decided its initial determination that the Company’s holdings were only temporarily impaired should be reassessed. Ultimately, the Company’s holdings of these shares were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2008 and a charge to earnings of $159,000 was recorded as of that date.

If, by September 30, 2008, the value of the Company’s holdings of this stock does not recover most of the decline that has occurred since June 30, 2008, the Company will probably record another charge to earnings for other-than-temporary impairment of this stock.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Statement 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 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 (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.

Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

OHIO LEGACY CORP
 
Credit Quality - The provision for loan losses totaled $5,000 and $11,500, respectively, for the quarter and the first six months of 2008. The Company’s level of non-performing loans remained high, but stable with $4.0 million categorized as non-accrual and $3.7 million as other real estate owned (OREO.) Criticized substandard loans that are still accruing also remained high at $3.0 million. Management believes that these loans are correctly valued as a result of charges taken during the third and fourth quarters of 2007. The Company is actively monitoring all substandard, non-accrual and OREO assets through monthly or more frequent reviews of each relationship.

Net Interest Income - Interest income was down compared to the same period in 2007, reflecting the reduction of $38.9 million in earning assets as a result of the sale of loans associated with the Millersburg office during the third quarter of 2007. Respectively, for the quarter and for the first six months of 2008, interest income fell $877,000 or 24.2% and $1.7 million or 23.8% compared to the same periods a year ago. Interest expense for the same periods declined $749,000 or 36.6% and $1.3 million or 32.5%. The net interest margin increased to 3.38% in the second quarter, compared to 2.98% for the same period last year. For the year to date through June 30, the net interest margin was 3.33% compared to 3.04% in 2007.

Noninterest Income - Compared to the second quarter and the first six months of 2007, noninterest income fell $207,000 and $268,000, respectively. A decrease in service charge income as a result of the sale of the Millersburg office accounts for a portion of the reduction. In addition, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $159,000 on the Company’s holdings of the preferred shares of FHLMC and FNMA. We are pleased with the performance of our fee businesses against our financial plan for 2008. Our partnership with Midwest Mortgage Processing LLC and JMC Marketing Ltd. began in May and was profitable in June. We look for improved performance from this partnership in the form of additional gains on loan sales as the housing segment begins to stabilize.
 
Noninterest Expense - The Company continued to focus on reducing and stabilizing noninterest expense levels resulting in declines of $287,000 or 14.5% and $573,000 or 14.6% for the quarter and the first six months of 2008 compared to 2007. Salaries accounted for the largest share of this reduction, with decreases of $148,000 and $379,000 for the quarter and the first half of the year.

Loans and Leases - Loan balances decreased $5.1 million from December 31, 2007. Our financial plan for 2008 did not include any loan growth, which reflects the Company’s decision to reduce the concentration of commercial real estate assets in our portfolio. Commercial real estate loans have declined $6.4 million since the end of 2007, and residential real estate loans have increased by $3.1 million.

Deposits - Demand   deposits were up $1.1 million or 4.1% since December 31, 2007. Money market and savings balances increased $6.5 million or 8.9% for the same period. Certificates of deposit declined by $4.3 million or 5.9% since year end. The changes in the mix of deposits reflect the Company’s continued focus on growing core deposit relationships and reducing its dependence on higher cost CDs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allowance for loan losses . The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company 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 all 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 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 homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

OHIO LEGACY CORP
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION - JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007

Assets .   At June, 2008, assets totaled $184.0 million, up from $180.3 million at December 31, 2007. Growth in securities and other real estate offset declines in net loans.

Securities . Total securities increased by $7.3 million to $39.4 million. The portfolio consists primarily of mortgage backed securities, which provide cash flow that can be used to fund additional loan growth, liability runoff or be reinvested. At June 30, 2008 we believe the effective duration of the portfolio excluding equity investments was approximately 3.9 years. The unrealized loss on the portfolio, net of tax, was approximately $228,000, compared to a gain of $3,900 at year end. The market has continued to experience significant volatility in prices and yields due to ongoing concerns about the economy in general and the mortgage sector in particular.

The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge on its holdings of the preferred shares of FHLMC and FNMA. The price of these securities declined 5% from their original cost as of June 30, 2008. However, the prices for the securities decreased rapidly in July 2008 and have not recovered. As a result, management determined that the decline in value as of June 30, 2008 was other-than-temporary and recorded a charge to earnings for the difference between their cost and their fair value as of the balance sheet date.

Loans . At June 30, 2008, the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees, totaled $126.1 million, a decrease of just under $5.6 million compared to December 31, 2007. Commercial real estate loans make up the largest segment of the portfolio, but decreased from 44.7% at year end to 41.6% at mid-year. Residential real estate loans increased from 27.4% to 31.0% over the same period. The Company remains committed to a long-term strategy of diversifying the mix of the loan portfolio by adding high-quality commercial business banking assets while maintaining or reducing real estate-based assets.

Allowance for loan losses and asset quality .   Nonperforming loans totaled $4.0 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease is the result of approximately $1.2 million in balances transferred to other real estate, $332,300 in balances paid down or paid off and $12,300 in balances charged off. Eight additional loans totaling $1.3 million were added to the category. Loans are considered nonperforming if they are impaired or if they are in non-accrual status. We review nonperforming loans on a weekly basis to assess the risk of loss.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.6 million at June 30, 2008, essentially unchanged since year end 2007. We continue to closely monitor credit quality and delinquencies as our loan portfolio seasons, and will increase the allowance for loan losses if we believe losses have been incurred. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance has increased from 1.22% to 1.28%.

Accrued interest receivable and other assets. Accrued interest receivable and other assets increased by $344,500 from year end. Normal business activity, which results in higher balances in prepaid franchise tax and insurance accounts earlier in the year and increases in accrued interest on loans and securities and accounts receivable make up about $200,000 of the increase.
 
Deposits . Total deposits increased $1.2 million to $148.6 million at June 30, 2008. Core deposit balances increased 7.5% to $79.4 million from $73.9 million at year end. Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased 12.9% to $16.2 million. We remain committed to our strategy of growing core deposits through the acquisition of business banking relationships. The certificate of deposit portfolio decreased $4.3 million during the period to $69.1 million or 46.5% of total deposits compared to $73.5 million or 49.7% of total deposits at year-end. Our deposit strategy continues to focus on reducing the size of the CD portfolio as a percentage of total deposits while increasing the average maturity. This will help reduce our overall cost of funds and provide protection against rising interest rates in the future.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances . Long term advances increased from $12.0 million at year end 2007 to $16.0 million at June 30, 2008. The growth was part of an asset/liability management strategy executed in the first quarter to lock in long term borrowing rates at historically low levels. The three new advances totaling $6.0 million had an average term of twenty-eight months and an average rate of 2.88%. A $2.0 million 27-month advance with a rate of 4.94% matured early in the second quarter.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

Net earnings (loss) totaled $(95,659) for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to $(34,317) or $(0.02) per diluted share during the second quarter of 2007. The restructuring of the balance sheet during the latter part of 2007 has begun to have a positive impact on the earnings stream for the year.
 
Net interest income . During the three months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income was $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease is primarily the result of the sale of a banking office during the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in the volume of earning assets was offset in large part by an increase in the net interest margin from 2.98% to 3.38%.

Interest income . Total interest income for the quarter was $2.7 million, down 24.3% from $3.6 million in the same quarter in 2007. The decrease was due in large part to the sale of $38.9 million of loans associated with the branch office that was sold in the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in the yield on earning assets by 41 basis points from 6.84% to 6.43% also had a negative impact on total interest income.

Interest expense . For the three months ended June 30, total interest expense was $1.3 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior year. As noted above, the balance of liabilities was reduced by $23.1 million as a result of the sale of the branch and another $3.3 million as a result of the retirement of the Company’s trust preferred debt. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 99 basis points from 4.34% to 3.35%, which contributed to the overall decrease in interest expense.

Provision for loan losses . The provision for loan losses totaled $5,000 during the second quarter of 2008, compared to $14,000 the second quarter of 2007. As discussed above in the “Allowance for loan losses,” our provision for loan losses can be expected to fluctuate from period to period.

Noninterest income . Noninterest income for the second quarter was $157,600 compared to $364,100 for the same period the prior year. The most significant reason for the decline was the aforementioned other-than-temporary impairment charge. A reduction of approximately $44,000 in service charge income due to the sale of a banking office in 2007 was partially offset by an additional $20,000 in gains on the sale of loans originated for sale.

Noninterest expense . Total noninterest expense decreased $287,000 to $1.7 million compared to $2.0 million for the prior year quarter. The significant changes are described below.

Salary and benefits . The largest portion of the decrease is due to a $147,800 reduction in salary and benefits as a result of the branch sale and the elimination of additional positions in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Professional fees . In the second quarter, professional fees were $90,200 lower than in the previous year, due in part to the expenses associated with the branch sale in 2007.

Franchise tax. The decrease of $14,000 in the most recent quarter was the result of reduced capital from the net losses booked in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

Marketing and advertising . Expenses declined $16,100 in 2008 as compared to the 2007, primarily due to more targeted advertising as the focus on deposits moved from certificates of deposit to transaction accounts.

FOOTNOTES TO YIELD TABLE  
 
(1)   Net of net deferred loan fees and costs and loans in process. Nonaccrual loans are included in noninterest-earning assets.
(2)   Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(3)   Net interest margin represents net interest income, annualized, divided by average interest-earning assets.

Net earnings (loss) totaled $(126,759) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared to $(39,763) or $(0.02) per diluted share during the first half of 2007.
 
Net interest income . During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income was $2.8 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same period the prior year. The decrease is primarily the result of the sale of a banking office during the third quarter of 2007. The reduction in the volume of earning assets was offset in large part by an increase in the net interest margin from 3.04% to 3.33%.

Interest income . Total interest income was $5.6 million for the first six months of 2008, compared to $7.3 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decline is due to both a lower volume of earning assets as a result of the branch sale and a lower yield on those assets as the FOMC reduced the target federal funds rate 225 basis point during the six month period. The yield on loans dropped 0.25% during the period, from 7.37% to 7.08% as variable rate notes reset downward and new volume was added at lower rates. The decline was partially offset by an increase in the yield on securities from 4.33% to 5.50% as the result of a restructuring transactions the third quarter of 2007 and ongoing purchases at market rates.

Interest expense . Total interest expense fell $1.3 million to $2.8 million in 2008, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007. Deposit expense reductions accounted for $1.1 million of the decrease as a result of the both the branch sale, debt redemption and the previously announced strategy of focusing on lower cost transaction deposits.

Provision for loan losses . The provision for loan losses totaled $11,500 during the first half of 2008, compared to $57,000 the same period in 2007. As discussed above in the “Allowance for loan losses,” our provision for loan losses can be expected to fluctuate from period to period.

Noninterest income . Noninterest income was $441,800 for the first six months of 2008, compared to $709,000 for the first half of 2007. The most significant reason for the decline was the aforementioned other-than-temporary impairment charge. Service charge income declined approximately $95,000 during the period. An $18,300 gain on the redemption of the Company’s equity interest in Visa was offset by lower income on other real estate owned and service charges on official checks.

Noninterest expense . Total noninterest expense declined $573,200 to $3.4 million compared to $3.9 million for the first half of the prior year. The reductions occurred in nearly every category; the significant changes are described below.

Salary and benefits . The largest portion of the decrease is due to a $378,800 reduction in salary and benefits as a result of the branch sale and the elimination of additional positions in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Professional fees . In the first half of 2008, professional fees were $180,900 compared to $290,300 in the prior year.. The decrease is due to fees incurred in 2007 for the sale of the branch and non-performing loans.

Franchise tax. The decrease of $27,600 in the first half was the result of reduced capital from the net losses booked in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company signed agreements with Midwest Mortgage Processing LLC and JMC Marketing Ltd. and opened mortgage loan production offices in the Dayton and Columbus areas in May. This business effort broke even in May and was profitable in June. Both of these housing markets are more stable than northern Ohio and represent an opportunity to leverage the mortgage banking staff investment that we made in the fall of 2006. As the regulatory environment for mortgage bankers tightens, we are confident the opportunity to hire mortgage experts in stable to growing markets will increase. We believe this strategy complements our core banking initiatives and will contribute to our goal of becoming a profitable, superior small business bank.

During the second quarter, the Company was able to take advantage of the earlier declines in rates and lower our cost of funds on most products. However, the continuing demand for liquidity by the banking competitors which operate in our markets has led to retail pricing on both demand and term deposits that is well above national averages and significantly above our prices. We are attempting to use our service advantage to combat these pricing differences and believe that we have done so effectively over the last few months. However, if these competitors continue to raise rates in an effort to satisfy their cash needs, our ability to maintain deposit rates at reasonable levels will diminish severely, resulting in a negative impact on the net interest margin.

Credit quality continues to be our greatest concern. While our impaired asset numbers are stable, they are also too high by nearly every measure. We are committed to reducing our non-accrual loans, OREO assets and criticized-substandard loans in an orderly manner. The realities of the housing downturn will force us to hold some of these assets longer than we would like. However, as stated previously, Management believes that these assets have been correctly valued and the risk of additional material loss is low.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations since December 31, 2007.

At June 30, 2008, we had no active unconsolidated, related special purpose entities, nor did we engage in derivatives and hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps, that may expose us to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Our investment policy prohibits engaging in derivatives contracts for speculative trading purposes; however, we may pursue certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, in our efforts to execute a sound and defensive interest rate risk management policy.

OHIO LEGACY CORP
 
LIQUIDITY

Liquidity refers to our ability to fund loan demand and customers’ deposit withdrawal needs and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of our financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments we offer to our customers.

Our principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments and maturities, sales of securities, borrowings from the FHLB and capital transactions. Alternative sources of funds include repurchase agreements and brokered CDs and the sale of loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. We maintain investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of our need for funds, our expected deposit flows, yields available on short-term liquid assets and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

We have implemented a liquidity contingency funding plan that identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may provide evidence of impending liquidity crises. Additionally, the liquidity contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors and identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should we encounter a liquidity crisis. We actively monitor liquidity risk and analyze various scenarios that could impact our ability to access emergency funding in conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities.

At June 30, 2008, the balances in cash and cash equivalents were essentially unchanged from year end 2007. Cash and cash equivalents represented 3.9% of total assets at June 30, 2008 and 4.0% of total assets at December 31, 2007.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity was $15.0 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $341,000 from the prior year-end balance. The reduction in equity was due to a $231,700 unrealized decline in the market value of the investment portfolio that was partially offset by stock option expense of $17,400.

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

Item 3. Not applicable for Smaller Reporting Companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2008, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of Ohio Legacy Corp’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in Ohio Legacy Corp’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ohio Legacy’s Corp’s internal control over financial reporting.
