2004 ANNUAL REPORT ------------------ TO STOCKHOLDERS [PHOTO] WAYNE SAVINGS BANCSHARES, INC. Member FDIC CORPORATE PROFILE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (hereinafter, the "Company") is the stock holding company parent of Wayne Savings Community Bank (the "Bank" or "Wayne Savings"), which was established in 1899. On September 30, 2003, Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc., merged Village Savings Bank, F.S.B., into Wayne Savings, its parent company, accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interest. The Company concluded that significant cost savings and operating efficiencies could be achieved by discontinuing the separate corporate existence of Village Savings. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the mutual holding company Wayne Savings Bankshares M.H.C. (the "M.H.C."), which previously owned a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, converted from the M.H.C. form of ownership to full stock form and merged with and into the Bank. The Company, which owned 100% of the Bank, was succeeded by a Delaware corporation of the same name. As part of the conversion, shares of the Company's common stock representing the M.H.C.'s ownership interest were sold in the offering. The existing publicly-held shares of the Company, which represented the remaining ownership interest in the Company, were exchanged for new shares of the Delaware corporation at a share exchange ratio of 1.5109 to 1.0. The offering of the Company's common stock culminated in the receipt of gross sale proceeds of $20.6 million which, after consideration of an employee stock plan of $1.6 million and applicable offering expenses of $1.9 million, resulted in net proceeds of $17.1 million. As a result of the conversion, all financial information that is based on or derived from the actual or outstanding shares of common stock during any period prior to fiscal 2003 has been appropriately adjusted for the aforementioned exchange ratio. The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with no change in the historical basis of assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity. The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ stock market under the symbol "WAYN." The Bank has been serving the financial needs of the residents of Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties in Ohio for 105 years. Headquartered in downtown Wooster, Ohio, the Bank also operates 10 full-service banking locations in Wooster, Millersburg, Ashland, Rittman, Lodi and North Canton. Throughout its long history and many economic cycles, Wayne Savings has enjoyed a fine reputation for stability, safety and soundness, and community service. The Bank has been noted for its sound management, consistent profitability and quality personal service to customers. The mission of Wayne Savings is to excel in customer service as a sound, independent, profitable, and progressive community bank dedicated to providing an array of services responsive to the financial needs of people in our communities, with an emphasis on home financing and household savings, and to provide for the security and development of our employees. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOARD OF DIRECTORS [PHOTO] [PHOTO] [PHOTO] Charles F.

Finn Chairman and Chief Executive Officer TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS AND CUSTOMERS: Upon the conclusion of our Company's 105th year of providing community financial services, it is a pleasure to report another exciting year of progress and achievement for Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we achieved the second highest level of earnings in the Company's history, virtually matching the record earnings accomplishment of the prior fiscal year. For the 2004 fiscal year, net earnings amounted to $2,704,000, little changed from net earnings of $2,772,000 posted in the 2003 fiscal year. Due to the favorable effects of the Company's capital management strategy as exemplified by our stock-repurchase program, earnings per share increased to $.72 per diluted share in fiscal 2004 from $.71 per diluted share in the previous year. Net earnings remained relatively unchanged year to year primarily because the large volume of mortgage loan refinancings had the effect of lowering asset yields. However, we were able to achieve some growth in net interest income by correspondingly reducing our cost of funds to offset the decline in asset yields. In the current record low interest rate environment, management has continued to shorten investment maturities rather than reaching for higher yields by extending maturities. In anticipation of rising interest rates in the medium to long term, we have increased liquidity, increased short-term commercial loans, and decreased our position in long term fixed rate mortgage loans. With the Company's interest rate risk position enhanced and Federal Reserve officials signaling their preference to raise interest rates in the near future, management believes Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. is well-positioned to take advantage of a rising interest rate environment. Net interest income increased from $10.9 million in the prior fiscal year to $11.1 million in the 2004 fiscal year, while other income increased from $1.6 million to $1.9 million. The increases in income were largely offset by an increase of $554,000 in general and administrative expenses, which consisted mainly of higher compensation and benefit costs, additional staff and increased costs relating to routine compliance matters required of a public company and higher transaction expenses in connection with a growing volume of business accounts. Asset quality remains strong, evidencing a continuation of our prudent loan underwriting standards. Total non-performing assets on March 31, 2004 amounted to only $747,000 or 0.20% of total assets, far below industry averages. Although non-performing assets are at a record low level, we chose to add $173,000 to our loan loss reserves in fiscal 2004, as compared to $91,000 in the prior year. The decision to strengthen the loan loss allowance was predicated on possible short-term softness in the local economy, as well as the origination of $16.6 million in commercial loans in the 2004 fiscal year. The Company plans to continue adding to its commercial loan mix and will accordingly monitor its future loan loss provisions to recognize this fact. To continue enhancing our Company's franchise and expanding services, we took some additional strategic steps in the past year. In the third fiscal quarter, the Company was presented with a wonderful opportunity to expand its market presence through the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Stebbins Bancshares, Inc. and its national bank subsidiary, Stebbins 6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS National Bank of Creston, Ohio. Regulatory approval has been received and the closing of the transaction is expected to take place by June 1, 2004. Following the merger, Stebbins National Bank will continue operations as a branch office of Wayne Savings Community Bank. The acquisition of Stebbins National Bank will boost the Company's assets to approximately $400 million with eleven full service locations. The Stebbins family has managed a respected community bank for five generations since 1881 and we are pleased they have chosen to be associated with us. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings per share. In further organizational restructuring, the consolidation of Village Savings Bank with Wayne Savings Community Bank was completed on September 30, 2003. Village Savings Bank was established in North Canton, Ohio in July, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Wayne Savings Community Bank. Following an intensive review, management concluded last year that a higher level of services, significant cost savings and operating efficiencies could be achieved by operating Village Savings Bank as a branch office rather than a separate corporate entity. The North Canton office of Wayne Savings, formerly Village Savings Bank, currently has approximately $40 million in deposits. To capture another source of income, Wayne Savings has partnered in establishing Oak Tree Title, Ltd. to provide title insurance services for the Bank's mortgage loan customers. The title agency is located at 143 North Market Street, Wooster, Ohio, adjacent to the Bank's headquarters. To broaden our customer base and develop new business, Wayne Savings has also established a private banking program to provide personal banking services to busy, high net worth clients. The program is managed by an executive who provided private banking services for a large regional bank. As noted earlier, we also made a commitment to expand our commercial loan portfolio by adding two commercial lending officers to our staff. Due in part to the efforts of these officers, commercial loan originations in fiscal 2004 amounted to $16.6 million. To keep pace with today's heightened technology requirements, Wayne Savings, in May 2004, completed a successful data processing conversion to the Miser banking software system provided by Aurum Technology, one of the nation's leading information technology providers. We will continue to operate an "in-house" data system with our own main frame computer to maintain greater control over our data processing needs. Building value for our investors remains a primary objective of your Management and Board of Directors. We are extremely pleased with the performance of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. common stock (NASDAQ: WAYN) to date. We recently calculated the return to an individual who had invested in our "first step" stock offering in June 1993, and found an exemplary average annual return of 21% since that date. Since the Company's "second step" stock conversion, which was completed on January 8, 2003, investors have realized stock price appreciation in excess of 60%. In the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year, your Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 195,000 shares, or 5% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. As of May 4, 2004, 137,500 shares had been repurchased under this program. Share repurchases will be made from time to time as market conditions warrant, through open market repurchases, unsolicited negotiated transactions, or in such other manners deemed appropriate by management. The repurchase program will expire in January 2005. We are gratified by the accomplishments of the past year, as summarized in this Annual Report. We also realize that our Company's achievements were a direct result of the continued patronage of our stockholders and customers, the vision and guidance of our officers and directors, and the hard work and dedication of our quality staff. Your continued confidence and support is deeply appreciated. Sincerely, /s/ Charles F. Finn Charles F. Finn Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 7 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following table sets forth certain consolidated financial and other data of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc., at the dates and for the years indicated.

Finn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Standing: Michael C. Anderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Wanda Christopher-Finn, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. General The consolidated financial statements include Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Community Bank. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company's net earnings are primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios, and its cost of funds consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The Company's net earnings also are affected by its provision for losses on loans, as well as the amount of other income, including fees and service charges, and general, administrative and other expense, such as salaries and employee benefits, deposit insurance premiums, occupancy and equipment costs, and income taxes. Earnings of the Company also are affected significantly by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Business Strategy The Company's current business strategy is to operate a well-capitalized, profitable and independent community-oriented savings association dedicated to financing home ownership and providing quality service to its customers. The Company has sought to implement this strategy in recent years by: (1) closely monitoring the needs of customers and providing personal, quality customer service; (2) emphasizing the origination of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and consumer loans in the Company's market area; (3) managing interest rate risk exposure by better matching asset and liability maturities and rates; (4) increasing fee income; (5) managing asset quality; (6) maintaining a strong retail deposit base; (7) maintaining capital in excess of regulatory requirements; and (8) enhancing the commercial loan program to add high quality, shorter term assets to the Company's balance sheet. Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations, and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and the Company's general market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, those with respect to the following matters: (1) management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (2) the effect of changes in interest rates; (3) management's opinion as to the effects of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company's consolidated financial statements; and (4) management's opinion as to the Bank's ability to maintain regulatory capital at current levels. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses and related loss provision to be a critical accounting policy. A detailed discussion of such policy is set forth on the following pages. At March 31, 2004, the Company had total assets of $369.0 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 2.6%, below total assets of $379.0 million at March 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $51.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.9 million, or 3.5%, from March 31, 2003 levels. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, investment securities totaling $26.8 million matured or were called while $22.1 million of investment securities were purchased. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.4 million, or 13.7%, to a total of $19.9 million at March 31, 2004. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $88.4 million at March 31, 2004, an increase of $12.4 million, or 16.3%, from the total at March 31, 2003. The Company has experienced high levels of mortgage prepayments as a result of borrowers refinancing at the near record low level of mortgage interest rates that existed throughout the year. The Company has elected to reinvest these funds into interest rate sensitive mortgage-backed securities with an estimated average life of five years or less. The Company purchased $55.5 million of 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS these securities which were partially offset by principal repayments and sales of $41.5 million for fiscal 2004. Loans receivable totaled $205.4 million at March 31, 2004, a decrease of $22.9 million, or 10.0%, from the March 31, 2003 balance. This decrease resulted mainly from principal repayments of $89.1 million as borrowers took the opportunity to refinance during a period of low mortgage interest rates. In addition, the Company chose to sell $6.3 million of loans in the secondary market. New loan originations amounted to $71.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. The majority of loan disbursements consisted of loans secured by one-to-four-family residential real estate loans. The Company has enhanced its commercial lending program by hiring an experienced commercial lending officer in fiscal 2004 and two commercial loan officers in fiscal 2005. The Company plans to increase its commercial lending portfolio by focusing on high quality, smaller balance commercial loans. At March 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses totaled $815,000, or .40% of loans, compared to $678,000 or .30% of loans at March 31, 2003. In determining the amount of loan loss allowance at any point in time, management and the Board apply a systematic process focusing on the risk of loss in the portfolio. First, delinquent nonresidential, multifamily and commercial loans are evaluated for potential impairments in carrying value. At March 31, 2004, the delinquent nonresidential, multi-family and commercial loans were viewed as well-secured, with no loss anticipated. The second step in determining the allowance for loan loss entails the application of historic loss experience to the individual loan types in the portfolio. In addition to the historic loss percentage, management employs an additional risk percentage tailored to the perception of the overall risk in the economy. This segment of the loss analysis accounts for nearly the entire balance of the allowance at March 31, 2004. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate which requires an element of judgment and is subject to the possibility that the allowance may need to be increased, with a corresponding reduction in earnings. To the best of management's knowledge, all known losses as of March 31, 2004, have been recorded. Nonperforming loans totaled $747,000 at March 31, 2004, compared to $2.5 million at March 31, 2003. Nonperforming loans consisted mainly of $731,000 in one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. The allowance for loan losses totaled 109.1% and 27.4% of nonperforming and impaired loans at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which would adversely affect the Company's results of operations. The Company purchased an additional $940,000 in Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") during fiscal 2004 to help offset the rising costs of employee benefit programs and to fund two SERP plans created for the Executive Vice Presidents. This increased the total BOLI to $6.3 million. Under this program, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on key executives and officers. Deposits decreased by approximately $9.1 million to a total of $291.8 million at March 31, 2004. The decline in deposits during 2004 generally reflects management's conservative pricing strategy in the current low-rate environment. Stockholders' equity totaled $43.6 million at March 31, 2004, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.5%, from March 31, 2003. The decrease was a result of the stock repurchase plan through which the Company was able to purchase 112,500 shares totaling $1.8 million at March 31, 2004. The plan, which expires January 2005, authorizes the purchase of up to 195,000 shares. Further reductions to equity resulted from the Company's purchase of $1.1 million, or 81,632 shares, for the Management Recognition Plan (the "MRP"). The Company also declared dividends aggregating $1.8 million. These reductions were offset by earnings of $2.7 million, available for sale securities unrealized gains of $356,000, the reduction of the minimum pension liability of $275,000, and $254,000 stock benefit plan amortization. The Bank is subject to capital standards, which generally require the maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of the three tests; i.e., the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. At March 31, 2004, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject. Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 General. Net earnings totaled $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $68,000, or 2.5%, below the net earnings of $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The decline in net earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $554,000, or 6.6% and an increase in provision for losses on loans of $82,000, or 90.1%. These earnings decreases were mainly offset by an increase in other income of $290,000, or 17.7%, net interest income of $215,000, or 2.0%, and a $63,000, and in 5.2%, decrease in federal income tax expense. Interest Income. Interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, decreased $1.8 million, or 9.0%, to $18.2 million. This decrease was a result of an 82 basis point reduction in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.16%, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average balance of interest-earning assets totaling $18.0 million, or 5.4%, to $352.7 million for the period ended March 31, 2004. Interest income on loans declined $2.9 million, or 17.0%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average balance of loans outstand- 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ing of $27.9 million, or 11.5%, compared to fiscal 2003, coupled with a 43 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans to 6.53% for fiscal 2004. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased $979,000 or 65.0% during the fiscal 2004, due primarily to a $46.8 million, or 118.0%, increase in the weighted average balance outstanding from the comparable 2003 period, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 93 basis points to 2.87%. Interest income on investments increased by $336,000, or 29.0%, reflecting an increase in the weighted average balance of $10.5 million, or 43.7%, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate of 49 basis points to 4.32% from 4.81% during the fiscal 2003 period. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits and other decreased by $258,000, or 50.4%, reflecting a decrease in the weighted average balance of $11.3 million, or 39.3%, coupled with a decrease in the weighted average rate of 33 basis points to 1.45% from 1.78% during the fiscal 2003 period. Interest Expense. Interest expense for fiscal 2004 totaled $7.1 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 22.1%, from interest expense of $9.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The decrease resulted from a 70 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds to 2.19% for the fiscal 2004 period, offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $8.7 million, or 2.7%, to $326.2 million for the fiscal 2004 period ended March 31, 2004. Interest expense on deposits totaled $5.9 million for fiscal 2004, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 30.0%, from fiscal 2003, as a result of a 82 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 1.99% for the 2004 period coupled with a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $4.1 million, or 1.4%, to $296.2 million for fiscal 2004. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $511,000 from fiscal 2003, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $12.8 million to an average balance of $30.0 million for fiscal 2004 from $17.2 million for year ended March 31, 2003, partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.16% from an average cost of 4.28% for the fiscal 2003 period. Net Interest Income. Net interest income totaled $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $215,000, or 2.0%, from the fiscal 2003 period. The interest rate spread decreased to 2.97% for the year ended March 31, 2004 from 3.09% for fiscal 2003. The net interest margin decreased to 3.14% for fiscal 2004 from 3.24% for the year ended March 31, 2003. Provision for Losses on Loans. The Company recorded provisions for losses on loans totaling $173,000 and $91,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was predicated on possible short-term softness in the local economy and the increased origination of commercial loans. To the best of management's knowledge, all known and inherent losses that are probable and which can be reasonably estimated have been recorded as of March 31, 2004 and 2003. Other Income. Other income, consisting primarily of an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, gains on sale of loans, service fees, and charges on deposit accounts, increased by $290,000 or 17.7%, to $1.9 million for fiscal 2004, from $1.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $139,000 in the cash surrender value of life insurance. Additionally, service fees, charges and other operating income increased by $94,000, or 6.6%, to $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, due primarily to increased income related to credit card merchants. Gain on sale of loans increased $67,000, or 82.7%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, due mainly to management's decision to sell the majority of the lower rate thirty year residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. General, Administrative, and Other Expense. General, administrative and other expense increased by $554,000, or 6.6%, to $9.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from a $432,000, or 9.1%, increase in employee compensation and benefits, a $64,000, or 3.5%, increase in other operating expense and an increase of $55,000, or 17.9%, in franchise taxes due to the increase in equity from the fiscal 2003 stock conversion. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was primarily attributable to normal merit increases, an increase in employee benefit plan costs and additional staff needed for operating a fully converted, publicly traded stock company. Similarly, the increase in other operating expense was primarily attributable to increased costs related to routine compliance matters required of a public company, as well as higher merchant expenses related to credit card activity. Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes was $1.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $63,000, or 5.2%, compared to the fiscal 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from a $131,000, or 3.3%, decrease in pretax earnings, coupled with an additional $139,000 of tax-exempt income related to the cash surrender value of life insurance. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2004 was 29.9%, as compared to 30.5% for fiscal 2003. The decrease in the effective tax rate year to year is mainly due to the beneficial effects of the aforementioned tax-exempt income. 12 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 General. Net earnings totaled $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $949,000, or 52.1% over the net earnings of $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The increase in net earnings was due primarily to an increase in net interest income of $1.9 million, or 21.1%, partially offset by an increase of $695,000, or 9.0%, in general, administrative and other expense and a $278,000, or 29.6%, increase in federal income taxes. Interest Income. Interest income on loans totaled $16.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 11.6%, from the $19.1 million recorded for fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest income on loans was primarily due to an average yield reduction of 57 basis points to 6.96% coupled with a decrease in the average loan balances of $10.9 million, or 4.3%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $935,000, or 163.7%, from $571,000 for fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average outstanding balance of $29.3 million, or 283.5%, partially offset by a decrease in average yield of 172 basis points to 3.80% for fiscal 2003. Interest income on investments and interest-bearing deposits decreased $8,000, or .5%, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 77 basis points to 3.16%, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of $10.2 million, or 23.9%, to $52.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits totaled $8.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 30.1%, from the fiscal 2002 expense. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost of deposits of 136 basis points to 2.81% for fiscal 2003, which was partially offset by an increase in the average outstanding balance of $11.4 million, or 4.0%, to $300.3 million in fiscal 2003. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $737,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $444,000, or 151.5%, from the $293,000 recorded for fiscal 2002. The increase was attributable to an increase in the average outstanding balance of $11.7 million, or 212.5%, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 104 basis points to 4.28% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, from 5.32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. Net Interest Income. Net interest income totaled $10.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $1.9 million, or 21.1%, over the $9.0 million recorded in fiscal 2002. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to a 136 basis point decrease in average cost of deposits to 2.81%, coupled with an increase in average interest-earning assets of $28.6 million, or 9.3%, for fiscal 2003. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets of 98 basis points to 5.98% for fiscal 2003, from 6.96% for fiscal 2002 and an increase of $ 11.7 million, or 212.5%, in average borrowings to $17.2 million for fiscal 2003. The interest rate spread increased 32 basis points to 3.09% in fiscal 2003, from 2.77% in fiscal 2002. The net interest margin increased to 3.24% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, from 2.93% in fiscal 2002. Provision for losses on loans. The Company's provision for losses on loans totaled $91,000 and $134,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. To the best of management's knowledge, all known losses as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been recorded. Other Income. Other income, consisting primarily of gain on sale of loans, gain on sale of mortgage-backed securities, increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, and service fees and service charges on deposit accounts, decreased by $14,000, or .8%, to $1.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The decrease was the result of a reduction in gain on sale of loans of $433,000, or 84.2%, to $81,000 for fiscal 2003 from $514,000 for fiscal 2002, which was partially offset by an increase in service fees, charges and other operating income of $272,000, or 23.8%, and an increase of $121,000 in the cash surrender value of life insurance. The decline in gains on sale of loans generally reflects management's decision to conservatively price originations in a low-yield environment. This decision reduced the volume of fixed rate loans available for sale. General, administrative and other expense. General, administrative and other expense consisting primarily of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, federal deposit and insurance premiums, and other operating expenses, totaled $8.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $695,000, or 9.0%, compared to fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $443,000, or 10.3%, in employee compensation and benefits, an increase in other operating expense, including operating expenses previously paid for or allocated to the M.H.C., of $124,000, or 7.3%, and an increase in occupancy and equipment of $89,000, or 6.4%. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was primarily due to normal merit increases, an increase in employee benefit costs, and the hiring of additional executive staff needed for operating a fully converted, publicly traded stock company. Other operating expense increased mainly due to a reduction in deferred loan origination costs. As stated previously, the 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Company was strategically positioned to be less aggressive in loan pricing which slowed loan originations from $96.5 million in fiscal 2002 to $61.2 million in fiscal 2003. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was mainly due to several offices which opened in fiscal 2002 and 2003. Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes was $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $278,000, or 29.6%, compared to fiscal 2002. The increase resulted primarily from a $1.2 million, or 44.4%, increase in pretax earnings. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, was 30.5%, as compared to 34.0% in 2002, mainly due to tax-free income arising from the investment in various interest-earning assets. Average Balance Sheet The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

As part of their effort to monitor and manage interest rate risk, the Bank uses the "net portfolio value" ("NPV") methodology adopted by the OTS as part of its interest rate sensitivity regulations. The application of NPV methodology illustrates certain aspects of the Bank's interest rate risk. Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. The application of the methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk as the change in the NPV, which would result from a theoretical change in market interest rates. Presented below, as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, is an analysis of the Bank's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained 100, 200 and 300 basis point (1 basis point equals .01%) increases and a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates. Due to the current low prevailing interest rate environment, the changes in NPV are not estimated for a decrease of 200 or 300 basis points. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making the risk calculations. The Company's policy in recent years has been to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk generally by better matching the maturities of its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and by originating adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans and other adjustable rate or short-term loans, as well as by purchasing short-term investments and mortgage-backed securities. However, particularly in the lower long-term interest rate environment which currently exists, borrowers typically prefer fixed rate loans to ARM loans. Accordingly, ARM loan originations were very limited during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The Company has sought to lengthen the maturities of its deposits by promoting longer-term certificates; however, the Company was not successful in lengthening the maturities of its deposits in the declining interest rate environment that existed throughout fiscal 2004. The Company also negotiates interest rates on certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more. 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Company has an Asset-Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for reviewing the Company's asset-liability policies. The Committee meets weekly and reports monthly to the Board of Directors on interest rate risks and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank has operated within the framework of their prescribed asset/liability risk ranges for each of the last three years. As of March 31, 2004 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Portfolio Value NPV as % of PV of Assets Change in Interest ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Rates (Basis points) $ Amount $ Change % Change NPV Ratio Change -------------------- -------- -------- -------- --------- ------ (In thousands) +300 bp $42,370 $(11,927) (22)% 11.66% (250 bp) +200 bp 48,174 (4,097) (8) 12.96 (120 bp) +100 bp 52,785 (1,512) (3) 13.92 (24 bp) 0 bp 54,297 -- -- 14.16 -- -100 bp 52,271 (2,026) (4) 13.60 (56 bp) As of March 31, 2003 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Portfolio Value NPV as % of PV of Assets Change in Interest ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Rates (Basis points) $ Amount $ Change % Change NPV Ratio Change -------------------- -------- -------- -------- --------- ------ (In thousands) +300 bp $46,905 $(9,213) (16)% 12.55% (171 bp) +200 bp 52,575 (3,543) (6) 13.73 (53 bp) +100 bp 56,002 (116) (.2) 14.37 11 bp 0 bp 56,118 -- -- 14.26 -- -100 bp 53,051 (3,067) (6) 13.45 (81 bp) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization of loan principal and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank manages the pricing of deposits to maintain a desired level of deposits and cost of funds. In addition, the Bank invests excess funds in federal funds and other short-term interest-earning and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Federal funds sold and other liquid assets outstanding at March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, amounted to $139.9 million, $129.3 million and $67.5 million, respectively. For additional information about cash flows from the Company's operating, financing and investing activities, see the Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. A major portion of the Bank's liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of their operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of cash are net earnings, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), and sales of mortgage-backed securities. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Bank requires funds beyond their ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2004, the Company had $30.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $36.0 million, including the unfunded portion of loans in process and commitments under unused lines of credit. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at March 31, 2004, totaled $86.4 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company. The following table summarizes the Company's contractual cash obligations at March 31, 2004. 16 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS Payments due by period ----------------------------------------------------------------- < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years Total ----------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except share data) Contractual obligations: Operating lease obligations .............................. $ 71 $ 114 $ 60 $ 5 $ 250 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ................. 5,000 7,500 7,500 10,000 30,000 Certificates of deposit .................................. 86,381 45,051 22,449 1,284 155,165 Amount of commitments expiring per period Commitments to originate loans: Letters of credit ...................................... 360 -- -- -- 360 Credit card/overdraft lines of credit .................. 5,529 -- -- -- 5,529 Home equity/commercial lines of credit ................. 24,735 -- -- -- 24,735 One- to four-family and multi-family loans ............. 4,194 -- -- -- 4,194 Non-residential real estate and land loans ............. 1,639 -- -- -- 1,639 -------- ------- ------- ------- -------- Total contractual obligations .............................. $127,909 $52,665 $30,009 $11,289 $221,872 ======== ======= ======= ======= ======== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

This does not reflect the number of persons whose stock is in nominee or "street name" accounts through brokers. Payment of dividends on the common stock is subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends, the Company's results of operations and financial condition, tax considerations, and general economic conditions. No assurance can be given that dividends will be declared or, if declared, what the amount of dividends will be, or whether such dividends, once declared, will continue. The Company's primary source of funds with which to pay dividends is cash and cash equivalents held at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company is limited by OTS regulations, and the Bank is required to obtain OTS nonobjection to the payment of dividends to the Company. In determining whether to object to such dividends, the OTS considers whether (i) the Bank would be undercapitalized following the dividend, (ii) the dividend raises safety and soundness concerns, or (iii) the dividend violates any regulatory prohibition or policy. In addition to the foregoing, earnings of the Company appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders without payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by the Company on the amount of earnings removed from the reserves for such distributions. The Company intends to make full use of this favorable tax treatment and does not contemplate any distribution that would create federal tax liability. 17 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As of March 31, (Dollars in thousands, except share data) ASSETS 2004 2003 --------- --------- Cash and due from banks .......................................................................... $ 3,291 $ 2,967 Federal funds sold ............................................................................... 9,875 8,000 Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions ........................................ 6,721 6,529 --------- --------- Cash and cash equivalents ...................................................................... 19,887 17,496 Investment securities available for sale - at market ............................................. 17,546 17,036 Investment securities held to maturity - at amortized cost, approximate market value of $14,830 and $19,211 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively ................ 14,036 18,805 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale - at market ........................................ 83,945 66,151 Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity - at amortized cost, approximate market value of $4,510 and $9,927 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively .................. 4,483 9,851 Loans receivable - net ........................................................................... 205,443 228,373 Office premises and equipment - net .............................................................. 8,742 8,818 Real estate acquired through foreclosure ......................................................... 100 -- Federal Home Loan Bank stock - at cost ........................................................... 4,205 4,041 Cash surrender value of life insurance ........................................................... 6,321 5,121 Accrued interest receivable on loans ............................................................. 801 948 Accrued interest receivable on mortgage-backed securities ........................................ 400 380 Accrued interest receivable on investments and interest bearing deposits ......................... 318 313 Prepaid expenses and other assets ................................................................ 2,549 1,532 Prepaid federal income taxes ..................................................................... 231 126 --------- --------- Total assets ................................................................................. $ 369,007 $ 378,991 ========= ========= LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Deposits ......................................................................................... $ 291,830 $ 300,931 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ......................................................... 30,000 30,000 Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance .................................................... 617 712 Accrued interest payable ......................................................................... 186 235 Accounts payable on mortgage loans serviced for others ........................................... 118 130 Other liabilities ................................................................................ 1,383 1,638 Deferred federal income taxes .................................................................... 1,312 682 --------- --------- Total liabilities ............................................................................ 325,446 334,328 Commitments ...................................................................................... -- -- Stockholders' equity Common stock (8,000,000 shares of $.10 par value authorized; 3,907,318 and 3,888,795 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively) ............. 391 389 Additional paid-in capital ..................................................................... 34,365 34,208 Retained earnings - substantially restricted ................................................... 12,727 11,830 Shares acquired by Management Recognition Plan .................................................

(the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wayne Savings Community Bank ("Wayne Savings" or the "Bank"). Prior to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, a majority (52.5%) of the Company's shares were owned by Wayne Savings Bankshares M.H.C. ("Bankshares," "parent" or "M.H.C."), a mutual holding company, as defined under Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations. On January 8, 2003, the Company completed a reorganization and related common stock offering which culminated with the M.H.C. merging with and into the Bank in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. In fiscal 1999, Bankshares and Wayne Savings formed a new federal savings bank subsidiary of Wayne Savings in North Canton, Ohio, Village Savings Bank, F. S. B. ("Village"), which was merged into Wayne Savings Community Bank as of September 30, 2003. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank conducts a general banking business in north central Ohio, which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and nonresidential purposes. The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on their net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management's control. The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. 1. Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities The Company accounts for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that investments be categorized as held-to-maturity, trading, or available for sale. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Trading securities and securities designated as available for sale are carried at fair value with resulting unrealized gains or losses recorded to operations or stockholders' equity, respectively. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are recognized using the specific identification method. 2. Loans Receivable Loans held in portfolio are stated at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for deferred loan origination fees, the allowance for loan losses, and premiums and discounts on loans purchased and sold. Premiums and discounts on loans purchased and sold are amortized and accreted to operations using the interest method over the average life of the underlying loans. Interest is accrued as earned unless the collectibility of the loan is in doubt. Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments has returned to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. The Bank recognizes rights to service mortgage loans for others pursuant to SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." In accordance with SFAS No. 140, an institution that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells those loans with servicing rights retained must allocate some of the cost of the loans to the mortgage servicing rights. The Bank recognized $61,000, $24,000 and $273,000 of pre-tax gains on sales of loans related to capitalized mortgage servicing rights during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. SFAS No. 140 requires that capitalized mortgage servicing rights be assessed for impairment. Impairment is measured based on fair value. The mortgage servicing rights recorded by the Bank, calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 140, were segregated into pools for valuation purposes, using as pooling criteria the loan term and coupon rate. Once pooled, each grouping of loans was evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of 24 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS future earnings that a purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio. Earnings were projected from a variety of sources including loan servicing fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrows, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the "economic" value for the pool, i.e., the net realizable present value to an acquirer of the acquired servicing. The Bank recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights totaling approximately $164,000, $164,000 and $109,000 for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of the Bank's mortgage servicing rights, which approximated fair value, totaled $281,000 and $381,000, respectively. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, determined in the aggregate. In computing cost, deferred loan origination fees are deducted from the principal balances of the related loans. There were no loans identified as held for sale at either March 31, 2004, or March 31, 2003. 3. Loan Origination Fees The Bank accounts for loan origination fees in accordance with SFAS No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases." Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 91, origination fees received from loans, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized to interest income using the level-yield method, giving effect to actual loan prepayments. Additionally, SFAS No. 91 generally limits deferred loan origination costs to the direct costs attributable to the origination of a loan, i.e. principally actual personnel costs. Fees received for loan commitments that are expected to be drawn upon, based on the Banks' experience with similar commitments, are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan using the level-yield method. Fees for other loan commitments are deferred and amortized over the loan commitment period on a straight-line basis. 4. Allowance for Loan Losses It is the Bank's policy to provide valuation allowances for losses inherent within the loan portfolio that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. When the collection of a loan becomes doubtful, or otherwise troubled, the Bank records a charge-off equal to the difference between the fair value of the property securing the loan and the loan's carrying value. In providing valuation allowances, costs of holding real estate, including the cost of capital, are considered. Major loans (including development projects) and major lending areas are reviewed periodically to determine potential problems at an early date. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Bank accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." This Statement requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as an alternative, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of the collateral. A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Bank considers investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Bank's investment in multi-family, commercial and nonresidential loans, and the evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are collateral dependent and, as a result, are carried as a practical expedient at the lower of cost or fair value. It is the Bank's policy to charge off unsecured credits that are more than ninety days delinquent. Similarly, collateral dependent loans are evaluated for impairment at the time it becomes possible that the Bank will not collect all contractual amounts due. Generally, this analysis is performed before a loan becomes ninety days delinquent. Information with respect to loans defined as impaired under SFAS No. 114 is summarized below: 2004 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- (In thousands) Investment in impaired loans .................................... $ -- $1,811 $3,012 Impaired loans with no measurement of loss ...................... -- 1,811 2,493 Impaired loans with measurement of loss ...................... -- -- 519 Allocated allowance for loan losses .......................... -- -- 105 Average impaired loans ..................... 906 2,412 1,829 Charge-off of principal related to impaired loans .................................... -- 84 -- During the time a loan is deemed impaired, the Bank records interest income using the cash method of accounting. Interest income on impaired loans totaled approximately $249,000, $24,000 and $233,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. 5. Office Premises and Equipment Office premises and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing assets. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting, depreciation 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the remaining useful lives of the assets, estimated to be twenty to fifty-five years for buildings and improvements, five to ten years for furniture and equipment, ten to twenty years for leasehold improvements, and forty years for safe deposit boxes. An accelerated method is used for tax reporting purposes. 6. Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the loan's unpaid principal balance (cost) or fair value less estimated selling expenses at the date of acquisition. Real estate loss provisions are recorded if the properties' fair value subsequently declines below the value determined at the recording date. In determining the lower of cost or fair value at acquisition, costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized. Costs relating to holding real estate acquired through foreclosure, net of rental income, are charged against earnings as incurred. 7. Federal Income Taxes The Company accounts for federal income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in net taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net deductible temporary differences or carryforward attributes may be utilized against current period earnings, carried back against prior years' earnings, offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods, or utilized to the extent of management's estimate of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the value of net deductible temporary differences and carryforward attributes exceeds management's estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences taxable in the future. The Company's principal temporary differences between pretax financial income and taxable income result primarily from the different methods of accounting for deferred loan origination fees, Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends, certain components of retirement expense, general loan loss allowances, percentage of earnings bad debt deductions and mortgage servicing rights. A temporary difference is also recognized for depreciation expense computed using accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes. 8. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, restated as to fiscal 2002 for the effects of the Company's reorganization and related stock offering. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan. For each of the years presented, there were no shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the related options were anti-dilutive. The computations are as follows: 2004 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 3,738,686 3,887,881 3,884,253 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options 12,499 14,196 16,372 --------- --------- --------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 3,751,185 3,902,077 3,900,625 ========= ========= ========= 9. Stock Option Plans The Company has a 1993 incentive Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 196,390 adjusted shares of authorized shares of common stock with 10,123 options outstanding at March 31, 2004. In fiscal 2004, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 142,857 incentive options and 61,224 non-incentive options of authorized common stock. As of March 31, 2004, all options under the 2004 Plan have been granted and expire in fiscal 2014. The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which provides a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to account for stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Management has determined that the Company will continue to account for stock based compensation pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost has been recognized for the plans. Had compensation 26 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the accounting method utilized in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reported in the manner presented below: 2004 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- Net earnings $ 2,704 $ 2,772 $ 1,823 Stock-based compensation, net of tax -- (21) -- --------- --------- --------- Pro forma net earnings $ 2,704 $ 2,751 $ 1,823 ========= ========= ========= Earnings per share Basic $ .72 $ .71 $ .47 Stock-based compensation, net of tax -- -- -- --------- --------- --------- Pro forma earnings per share .72 $ .71 $ .47 ========= ========= ========= Diluted $ .72 $ .71 $ .47 Stock-based compensation, net of tax -- (.01) -- --------- --------- --------- Pro forma earnings per share $ .72 $ .70 $ .47 ========= ========= ========= The following information applies to options outstanding at March 31, 2004: Number outstanding .......................................... 214,204 Range of exercise prices .................................... $11.67 - $13.95 Weighted-average exercise price ............................. $13.84 Weighted-average remaining contractual life ................. 9.25 At March 31, 2004, 10,123 of the stock options are subject to exercise at the discretion of the grantees and expire in fiscal 2005, while the remaining 204,081 options are not subject to exercise and will expire in fiscal 2014. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and changes during the years ending on those dates is presented below: 2004 2003 2002 ------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price ------- -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- Outstanding at beginning of year 28,666 $ 6.26 23,378 $ 3.31 26,400 $ 3.31 Granted 204,081 13.95 10,123 11.67 -- -- Exercised (18,543) 3.31 (4,835) 3.31 (3,022) 3.31 Forfeited -- -- -- -- -- -- ------- -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- Outstanding at end of year 214,204 $ 13.84 28,666 $ 6.26 23,378 $ 3.31 ======= ======== ====== ======== ====== ======== Options exercisable at year-end 10,123 $ 11.67 28,666 $ 6.26 23,378 $ 3.31 ======= ======== ====== ======== ====== ======== Fair value of options granted $ 3.93 $ 3.17 -- ======== ======== ======== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits due from other financial institutions with original maturities of less than three months. 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation methods. The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an exchange for certain financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments at March 31, 2004 and 2003: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are deemed to approximate fair value. 27 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions: The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for certificates of deposit in other financial institutions are deemed to approximate fair value. Investment and mortgage-backed securities: For investment and mortgage-backed securities, fair value is deemed to equal the quoted market price. Loans receivable: The loan portfolio has been segregated into categories with similar characteristics, such as one-to-four family residential, multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate. These loan categories were further delineated into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories were computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using current interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans on deposit accounts and consumer and other loans, fair values were deemed to equal the historic carrying values. The historical carrying amount of accrued interest on loans is deemed to approximate fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value. Deposits: The fair value of NOW accounts, passbook and club accounts, money market deposits and advances by borrowers is deemed to approximate the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit have been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair value of these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when available, quoted market prices. Commitments to extend credit: For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, the difference between the fair value and notional amount of loan commitments was not material. Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's financial instruments at March 31 are as follows: 2004 2003 ------------------------- ----------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair value value value value -------- -------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits ........................ $ 19,887 $ 19,887 $ 17,496 $ 17,496 Investment securities ...................... 31,582 32,376 35,841 36,247 Mortgage-backed securities ...................... 88,428 88,455 76,002 76,078 Loans receivable .................. 205,443 210,124 228,373 236,633 Federal Home Loan Bank stock ...................... 4,205 4,205 4,041 4,041 -------- -------- -------- -------- 349,545 $355,047 $361,753 $370,495 ======== ======== ======== ======== Financial liabilities Deposits .......................... $291,830 $293,575 $300,931 $303,316 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ......................... 30,000 30,966 30,000 30,515 Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance ..................... 617 617 712 712 -------- -------- -------- -------- $322,447 $325,158 $331,643 $334,543 ======== ======== ======== ======== 12.

Generally, such loans have been underwritten on the basis of no more than an 80% loan-to-value ratio, which has historically provided the Company with adequate collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Bank, as with any lending institution, are subject to the risk that real estate values could deteriorate in their primary lending areas of north central Ohio, thereby impairing collateral values. However, management is of the belief that residential real estate values in the Company's primary lending area are presently stable. As discussed previously, Wayne Savings has sold whole loans and participating interests in loans in the secondary market, retaining servicing on the loans sold. Loans sold and serviced for others totaled approximately $35.3 million, $47.9 million and $60.6 million at March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Bank has made loans to directors, officers and their related business interests. Related party loans are made on the same terms that are widely available to other employees, as long as the director or executive officer is not given preferential treatment compared to other participating employees. The aggregate dollar amount of loans outstanding to directors, officers and their related business interests totaled approximately $2.7 million, $2.6 million and $2.7 million at March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During fiscal 2004, the Company disbursed $2.5 million of loans to officers and directors and received principal repayments of $2.4 million. At March 31, 2004, $2.4 million of related party loans was a nonresidential real estate loan.

During the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, interest income of approximately $37,000, $208,000 and $99,000, respectively, would have been recognized had nonaccrual loans been performing in accordance with contractual terms.

(93) (130) ------- ------- Deferred tax liabilities ..................... (1,667) (1,275) ------- ------- Total deferred tax liability ................... $(1,312) $ (682) ======= ======= Prior to fiscal 1997, Wayne Savings was allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a percentage of earnings, generally limited to 8% of otherwise taxable income and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and deposit account balances at the end of the year. This cumulative percentage of earnings bad debt deduction totaled approximately $2.7 million as of March 31, 2004. If the amounts that qualified as deductions for federal income taxes are later used for purposes other than bad debt losses, including distributions in liquidation, such distributions will be subject to federal income taxes at the then current corporate income tax rate. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $918,000 at March 31, 2004. Wayne Savings is required to recapture as taxable income approximately $200,000 of its bad debt reserve, which represents the post-1987 additions to the reserve, and will be unable to utilize the percentage of earnings method to compute the reserve in the future. Wayne Savings has provided deferred taxes for this amount and is amortizing the recapture of the bad debt reserve in taxable income over a six-year period, which commenced in fiscal 1999. At March 31, 2004, the Company's tax return for the year ended March 31, 1999, was under examination. The Company does not expect any material adverse adjustments as a result of the examination. NOTE I - COMMITMENTS The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, including commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of the commitments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in such financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as those utilized for on-balance-sheet instruments. At March 31, 2004, the Company had total outstanding commitments of approximately $3.2 million to originate loans, of which $2.9 million were comprised of fixed-rate loans at rates ranging from 4.75% to 6.50% and $300,000 were comprised of adjustable-rate loans at rates ranging from 4.50% to 6.25%. The Bank also had loans in process of $2.6 million at March 31, 2004, consisting of $1.2 million of one-to-four family loans and $1.4 million nonresidential real estate loans. The Company had unused lines of credit outstanding under home equity loans $18.0 million and $17.1 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company had unused lines of credit outstanding under credit cards of $5.5 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, the Company had unused lines of credit under commercial loans of $6.7 million and $4.3 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company had letters of credit of $360,000 at the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, and $5,000 at March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase $2.0 million of mortgage-backed securities. 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 33 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral on loans may vary but the preponderance of loans granted generally includes a mortgage interest in real estate as security. The Company leases certain branch banking facilities under operating leases. The minimum annual lease payments over the initial lease term are as follows: Fiscal year ended (In thousands) ----------------- -------------- 2005 ...................................... $ 71 2006 ...................................... 65 2007 ...................................... 49 2008 ...................................... 30 Thereafter ................................ 35 ---- Total ..................................... $250 ==== The Company incurred rental expense under operating leases totaling approximately $68,000, $68,000 and $66,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. There were no material contingent liabilities at March 31, 2004 or 2003. NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL The Bank is subject to minimum regulatory capital standards promulgated by the OTS. 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. The minimum capital standards of the OTS generally require the maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders' equity less all intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) generally equal to 4.0% of adjusted total assets except for those associations with the highest examination rating and acceptable levels of risk. The risk-based capital requirement provides for the maintenance of core capital plus general loss allowances equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In computing risk-weighted assets, the Bank multiplies the value of each asset on their statement of financial condition by a defined risk-weighting factor, e.g. one- to four-family residential loans carry a risk-weighted factor of 50%. As of March 31, 2004, management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. As of the most recent examination date, the Bank was advised by the OTS that they met the definition of "well capitalized" institution. The Bank's management believes that, under the current regulatory capital regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in the Bank's market area, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability to meet future minimum regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is subject to regulations imposed by the OTS regarding the amount of capital distributions payable to the Company. Generally, the Bank's payment of dividends is limited, without prior OTS approval, to net earnings for the current calendar year, plus the two preceding years, less capital distributions paid over the comparable time period. Insured institutions are required to file an application with the OTS for capital distributions in excess of the limitation. Regulations of the OTS governing mutual holding companies permitted Wayne Savings Bankshares M.H.C. (the "M.H.C.") to waive the receipt by it of any dividend declared by the Company or the Bank on the common stock, provided that the OTS does not object to such waiver. The M.H.C. accepted dividends totalling $25,000, $260,000 (of which $258,000 was treated as an offset to previously allocated M.H.C. costs) and $75,000 during fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the M.H.C. waived its share of all dividends declared on the common stock. Total dividends waived by the M.H.C. through the date of conversion amounted to $6.2 million. 34 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS Wayne Savings Community Bank as of March 31, 2004 (Dollars in thousands) Required to be "well- Required for capital capitalized" under prompt Actual adequacy purposes corrective action provisions ------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Tangible capital $39,939 10.9% >/=$ 5,492 >/=1.5% >/=$ 18,305 >/= 5.0% Core capital $39,939 10.9% >/=$14,644 >/=4.0% >/=$ 21,966 >/= 6.0% Risk-based capital $40,754 21.0% >/=$15,533 >/=8.0% >/=$ 19,416 >/=10.0% Wayne Savings Community Bank as of March 31, 2003 (Dollars in thousands) Required to be "well- Required for capital capitalized" under prompt Actual adequacy purposes corrective action provisions ------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Tangible capital $38,069 10.2% >/=$ 5,604 >/=1.5% >/=$ 18,680 >/= 5.0% Core capital $38,069 10.2% >/=$14,944 >/=4.0% >/=$ 22,416 >/= 6.0% Risk-based capital $38,748 20.2% >/=$15,353 >/=8.0% >/=$ 19,191 >/=10.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Village Savings Bank, F.S.B. as of March 31, 2003 (Dollars in thousands) Required to be "well- Required for capital capitalized" under prompt Actual adequacy purposes corrective action provisions ------------------- --------------------- ---------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Tangible capital $5,311 10.5% >/=$ 759 >/=1.5% >/=$ 2,529 >/= 5.0% Core capital $5,311 10.5% >/=$ 2,023 >/=4.0% >/=$ 3,034 >/= 6.0% Risk-based capital $5,358 28.7% >/=$ 1,471 >/=8.0% >/=$ 1,839 >/=10.0% 35 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con't.) WS------------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 NOTE K - PENSION AND BENEFIT PLANS The Company had a non-contributory insured defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") covering all eligible employees. The Plan benefits were based on years-of-service and other factors. Effective December 31, 2003, Wayne Savings froze its defined pension plan. Management believes this action will at a minimum stabilize employee retirement costs at the fiscal 2004 expense level. Also in fiscal 2004, management changed the plan's investment structure from life insurance to stocks and bonds. At March 31, 2004, plan assets consisted of 22.0% cash, 19.0% stocks and 59.0% bonds. The Company made an additional $1.0 million contribution to the fund in the last quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company's intent is to terminate the plan at some point in the future when financial considerations are more favorable. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributed for service-to-date. Information with respect to the Plan for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows: The changes in benefit obligations are computed as follows: 2004 2003 2002 ------- ------- ------- (In thousands) Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year ............... $ 2,002 $ 1,592 $ 1,280 Service cost ......................... 55 55 63 Interest cost ........................ 137 124 101 Actuarial loss ....................... 351 428 203 Benefits paid ........................

Under the plan, the Bank matches each participant's contribution - up to 3% of the participant's salary; a 50% match is provided for up to the next 4% of the participant's salary. This contribution is dependent on availability of sufficient net earnings from current or prior years. Additional contributions may be made as approved by the Board of Directors. Expense under the plan totaled approximately $78,000, $44,000 and $44,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. NOTE L - REORGANIZATION AND CHANGE OF CORPORATE FORM In fiscal 2002, the Board of Directors of Wayne Savings Bankshares, M.H.C. (the "M.H.C.") adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization (the "plan") to convert the M.H.C from mutual to stock form and to complete a related stock offering in which shares of common stock representing the 36 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------WS MHC's ownership interest in the Company would be sold to investors. The plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company, the depositors of Wayne Savings Community Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") in fiscal 2003, and the related stock offering was completed on January 8, 2003. As of that date, 1,350,699 shares owned by the M.H.C. were retired and the Company sold 2,040,816 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share. After consideration of the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") totaling $1.6 million and related expenses of $1.9 million, net proceeds from the stock offering amounted to $17.1 million. An additional 1,847,820 shares were issued to existing shareholders based on an exchange rate of 1.5109 new shares of common stock for each existing share, resulting in 3,888,795 total new shares outstanding. Upon completion of the conversion and stock offering, Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. changed its charter to a Delaware holding company and is wholly owned by public stockholders. In the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each eligible member of Wayne's depositors will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted balance of deposit accounts held, before any liquidation distribution may be made with respect to common stock. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the Company, the existence of liquidation account will not restrict the use or application of such retained earnings. The Company may not declare, pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of its common stock, if the effect thereof would cause retained earnings to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements of SAIF insured institutions.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 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 consolidated financial position of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP Cincinnati, Ohio April 29, 2004 Suite 900 625 Eden Park Drive Cincinnati, OH 45202-4181 T 513.762.5000 F 513.241.6125 W www.grantthornton.com Grant Thornton LLP US Member of Grant Thornton International - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40
