Item 8.01.     Other Events.

On August 16, 2010, Rurban Financial Corp. (“Rurban”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, which stated that Rurban was unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the time period prescribed by SEC rules.  Rurban stated in the Form 12b-25 that, as a result of the conversion of the data processing of its banking subsidiary, The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank”), from the Single Source™ system back to State Bank’s previous data processing system, Rurban and its registered public accounting firm required additional time to perform necessary reconciliations and related reviews with respect to Rurban’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 (the “June 30, 2010 Financial Statements”).

Rurban and its registered public accounting firm will not be able to complete their review of the June 30, 2010 Financial Statements in time to file the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Rurban continues to work with its registered public accounting firm to perform necessary reconciliations and related reviews with respect to the June 30, 2010 Financial Statements, and Rurban intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as this process is completed.
