ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On January 22, 2004, the Company issued the following press release:

                       SECOND BANCORP REPORTS EARNINGS FOR
                             FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR

WARREN, OHIO, JANUARY 22, 2004--SECOND BANCORP INCORPORATED (NASDAQ "SECD",
"SECDP") reported net income for the fourth quarter 2003 of $4,149,000 or $.43
per diluted share compared to $3,428,000 or $.34 per diluted share for the same
period last year. For the full year 2003, net income was substantially higher
than the prior year's results finishing at $23,155,000 or $2.41 per diluted
share compared to $18,000,000 or $1.79 a year ago, all as computed on a GAAP
basis. For comparison purposes, reported 2003 earnings include a one time $3.65
million (or $.38 per diluted share) after-tax gain on the sale of two banking
centers completed during the first quarter. In addition, year-ago earnings for
the fourth quarter were restrained by non-operating merger costs and expenses
associated with the implementation of subsidiary Second National Bank's branch
reconfiguration strategy.

Returns on average assets (ROA) for the quarter and the year were .79% and 1.18%
respectively (compared to .75% and 1.03% a year ago) and returns on average
equity (ROE) were 12.42% for the quarter and 17.06% for the full year (compared
to 9.99% and 13.42% respectively in 2002). Persistently low interest rates
continued to compress the Company's net interest margin which was 3.00% for the
just completed fourth quarter compared to 3.38% during the same period last
year. For the year, net interest margin was 3.14% compared to 3.56% for 2002.
The Company's efficiency ratio for the quarter was 69.12% and 59.63% for the
year.

Second Bancorp President and Chief Executive Officer R. L. (Rick) Blossom stated
"Including the first quarter branch sale, 2003 was the most profitable year in
Second Bancorp's history reflecting the hard work of our highly skilled and
dedicated staff of more than 600 associates. Though fourth quarter results were
slowed by the combination of a narrowing net interest margin and reduced
earnings from mortgage lending as refinancing activity abated, our business
footings


                                  Page 1 of 12

are solid and we look forward to becoming a significant contributor to our
merger partner, Sky Financial Group."

Second Bancorp announced January 8, 2004 that it has entered with Sky Financial
Group, Inc. into a definitive merger agreement under which Sky Financial will
acquire all of Second Bancorp's outstanding shares in a stock-for-stock
transaction. Under the agreement, Second Bancorp's common shareholders will
receive 1.26 shares of Sky Financial stock for each of their shares in a $321
million or $33.05 per Second Bancorp common share deal valued as of the date of
the announcement. The transaction, subject to Second Bancorp shareholder and
regulatory approval, is expected to be completed at the end of the second
quarter of 2004.

The Company also reported that its Board of Directors declared a nineteen cent
($.19) per share common dividend payable January 30, 2004 to shareholders of
record on January 15. That dividend is unchanged from the previous quarter and
is 5.6% higher than the dividend paid during the same quarter last year.
