TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 — Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 26, 2007, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release and
reported a correction to net income for the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2006, which had
previously been reported in Park’s news release issued on
Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Park’s January 16, 2007
news release was included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on
Form 8-K of Park dated January 16, 2007. Park’s net
income (as a result of this correction) decreased by $1.256 million for both the three and twelve
month periods ended December 31, 2006, as compared to Park’s net income as reported in the January
16, 2007 news release. In the January 26, 2007 news release,
Park reported earnings (as corrected) for the three and twelve month
periods ended December 31, 2006.
The correction of net income for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006
was due to a problem in Park’s data processing system pertaining to accrued interest receivable on
loans. Management discovered earlier this week that certain previously charged-off loans were
accruing interest income. On Park’s data processing system, a loan that is charged-off also needs
to be coded as nonaccrual for the data processing system to not accrue interest on these loans.
Primarily, one of Park’s subsidiary banks has not been following this procedure on installment
loans for approximately the past ten years. Management has concluded that accrued interest
receivable on loans was overstated by $1.933 million at year-end 2006 and as a result interest
income on loans was overstated on a cumulative basis by the same amount of $1.933 million.
Management also concluded that the overstatement of accrued interest receivable on loans and the
related overstatement of interest income on loans is not material to any previously issued
financial statements. Accordingly, Park recorded a cumulative adjustment of $1.933 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006 to reduce accrued interest receivable on loans and reduce interest income on
loans. On an after-tax basis, this adjustment reduced Park’s net income by $1.256 million for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and reduced diluted earnings per share by $.09 for
the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to net income and diluted earnings
per share that was previously reported by Park on January 16, 2007.
In the January 26, 2007 news release, Park reported earnings (as
corrected) for the three and twelve month periods ended
December 31, 2006. A copy of the news release issued by Park on
January 26, 2007 is included with this Current Report on Form
8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
