PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") at March 31, 1998 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Corporation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, included in its 1997 Annual Report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Corporation described in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in its 1997 Annual Report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-QSB. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association"), a federal stock savings and loan association. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Corporation's and Association's revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the financial institution industry. The Association is engaged primarily in the business of making residential real estate loans and accepting deposits. Its operations are conducted solely through its main office located in Sidney, Ohio. The Association's market area consists of Shelby and surrounding counties. To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The collectibility of loans, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. The provision for income taxes is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the sum of the current-year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Earnings per common share is computed under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which was adopted retroactively by the Corporation on December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings such as stock options, warrants or other common stock equivalents. Adoption of SFAS No. 128 did not change the earnings per share amounts previously reported as the Corporation currently has no common stock equivalents. Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Association converted from a mutual to a stock form of ownership with the concurrent formation of a holding company effective April 25, 1997. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998 were 1,658,803 and 1,656,198. Unreleased ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding shares for determining weighted average number of shares used in the earnings per common share calculation. No earnings per common share is shown for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1997, as before April 25, 1997, the Association was a mutual company. The financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, reflects the Association before the conversion. SFAS No. 129, "Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure," became effective for the Corporation as of December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 129 consolidated existing accounting guidance relating to disclosure about a company's capital structure. SFAS No. 129 did not affect the Corporation's disclosures. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. It does not require a specific format for that financial statement, but requires an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. SFAS No. 130 requires an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Standard significantly changes the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements, and requires those enterprises report selected information about reportable segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 uses a "management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive information about an PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) enterprise's reportable operating segments which is based on reporting information the way management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. For many enterprises, the management approach will likely result in more segments being reported. In addition, the Standard requires significantly more information be disclosed for each reportable segment than is presently being reported in annual financial statements. The Standard also requires selected information be reported in interim financial statements. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. NOTE 2 - CONSUMMATION OF THE CONVERSION TO A STOCK SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION WITH THE CONCURRENT FORMATION OF A HOLDING COMPANY On November 8, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Association unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally-chartered stock savings and loan association with the concurrent formation of a holding company, Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation. The conversion was consummated on April 25, 1997, by amending the Association's charter and selling the holding company's common stock in an amount equal to the market value of the Association after giving effect to the conversion. Common shares of the Corporation were offered in accordance with the plan of conversion. A total of 1,785,375 common shares of the Corporation were sold at $10.00 per share and net proceeds from the sale were $17,217,944 after deducting the costs of conversion. The Corporation retained 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of common shares. The remainder of the net proceeds were invested in capital stock issued by the Association to the Corporation as a result of the conversion. At the time of conversion, the Association established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its regulatory capital as of the latest practicable date prior to the conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. Under Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations, limitations have been imposed on all "capital distributions" by savings institutions, including cash dividends. The regulation establishes a three-tiered system of restrictions, with greatest flexibility afforded to thrifts that are both well-capitalized and given favorable qualitative examination ratings by the OTS.

PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 5 - OTHER BORROWINGS At March 31, 1998, the Association had a cash management line of credit enabling it to borrow up to $5,100,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati. The line of credit must be renewed on an annual basis. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at March 31, 1998 or June 30, 1997. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Association has the ability to obtain additional borrowings up to a maximum total of approximately $16,092,000, including the line of credit. Advances under the borrowing agreements are collateralized by a blanket pledge of the Association's residential mortgage loan portfolio and Federal Home Loan Bank stock. NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK Various contingent liabilities are not reflected in the financial statements, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. Some financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of customers and reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. These involve, to varying degrees, more credit risk than the amount reported in the financial statements. Exposure to credit loss if the other party does not perform is represented by contractual amount for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written. The same credit policies are used for commitments and conditional obligations as are used for loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, on extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation and generally consists of residential or commercial real estate. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being used, total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, the Corporation had commitments to make fixed-rate commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans at current market rates totaling $338,000 and $156,000, and variable-rate commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans at current market rates totaling $1,183,500 and $876,000. Loan commitments are generally for 30 days. The interest rates on fixed-rate commitments ranged from 7.50% to 8.25% at March 31, 1998 and were 8.25% at June 30, 1997. The interest rates on variable-rate commitments ranged from 7.00% to 7.75% at March 31, 1998, and 7.25% to 8.50% at June 30, 1997. The Corporation also had unused lines of credit totaling $565,000 and $622,000 at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK (Continued) At March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, compensating balances of $437,000 and $298,000 were required as deposits with various correspondent banks. These balances do not earn interest. The Association entered into employment agreements with certain officers of the Corporation and Association. The agreements provide for terms of one to three years, and an annual salary and performance review by the Board of Directors, as well as inclusion of the employee in any formally-established employee benefit, bonus, pension and profit-sharing plans for which management personnel are eligible. The agreements provide for extensions for a period of one year on each annual anniversary date, subject to review and approval of the extension by disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Association. The employment agreements also provide for vacation and sick leave. NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Corporation offers an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of substantially all employees of the Corporation and Association. During July 1997, the ESOP received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service on the qualified status of the ESOP under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESOP borrowed funds from the Corporation in order to acquire common shares of the Corporation. The loan is secured by shares purchased with loan proceeds and will be repaid by ESOP with funds from the Association's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. All dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. Shares purchased with loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. As payments are made and shares are released from the suspense account, such shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation accounts for the ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6. Accordingly, shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As shares are released from collateral, the Corporation reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense was $53,850 and $138,276 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (Continued) The ESOP shares as of March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997 were as follows: March 31, June 30, 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Allocated shares ................................. 8,204 8,204 Shares committed to be released for allocation ... 10,074 1,998 Unreleased shares ................................ 124,552 132,628 ---------- ---------- Total ESOP shares ............................ 142,830 142,830 ========== ========== Fair value of unreleased shares .................. $2,241,936 $1,865,081 ========== ========== PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Introduction In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the financial condition of Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") as of March 31, 1998, compared to June 30, 1997, and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, compared with the same periods in 1997. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and related footnotes included herein. In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Corporation's operations and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some 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 Association's general market area. On November 8, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Peoples Federal Savings and Loan (the "Association") unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally-chartered stock savings and loan association with the concurrent formation of a holding company, Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation. The conversion was consummated on April 25, 1997, by amending the Association's charter and selling the holding company's common stock in an amount equal to the market value of the Association, after giving effect to the conversion. A total of 1,785,375 common shares of the Corporation were sold at $10.00 per share and net proceeds from the sale were $17,217,944 after deducting the costs of conversion. The Corporation retained 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of common shares. The remainder of the net proceeds were invested in the capital stock issued by the Association to the Corporation as a result of the conversion. The Corporation is a thrift holding company, primarily engaged in the business of attracting savings deposits from the general public and investing such funds in permanent mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate located in Shelby, Logan, Auglaize, Miami, Darke and Champaign Counties, Ohio. The Corporation also originates, to a lesser extent, loans for the construction of one- to four-family residential real estate loans secured by multi-family residential real estate (over four units) and nonresidential real estate and consumer loans, and invests in U.S. government obligations, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and other investments permitted by applicable law. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition Total assets at March 31, 1998 were $105.5 million compared to $103.1 million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $2.4 million, or 2.3%. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increase in loans. The Corporation was able to reinvest proceeds from maturities of time deposits in other financial institutions in higher yielding loans. Additional funding for loan growth was provided by increased deposits. Loans receivable increased $4.3 million from $88.9 million at June 30, 1997, to $93.2 million at March 31, 1998. The Corporation experienced increases in all mortgage loan categories except for real estate construction and development. The largest increase was in one- to four-family residential real estate loans which increased $3.4 million. These increases are reflective of a strong local economy coupled with attractive loan rates and products compared to local competition. The Corporation's consumer loan portfolio decreased $135,000 between June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998. Consumer loans remain a small portion of the entire loan portfolio and represented only 2.3% and 2.5% of gross loans at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997. A $3.0 million decrease in time deposits with other financial institutions was the result of redirection of funds provided from the maturities of such investments, in addition to increased deposits, to provide for loan growth. The excess of such funds which were not used to fund loan growth, were invested in overnight deposits to provide liquidity for future loan growth. Overnight funds increased $500,000 from $1.0 million at June 30, 1997 to $1.5 million at March 31, 1998. Total securities remained relatively unchanged as funds provided by maturities of securities classified as held to maturity were reinvested in securities classified as available for sale. Total deposits increased $1.6 million from $77.0 million at June 30, 1997 to $78.6 million at March 31, 1998. The Corporation experienced increases in savings accounts and certificates of deposit which increased $412,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. Offsetting such increases was a $558,000 decrease in negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts. Management believes the shift of funds between savings and NOW accounts is the result of normal patterns of consumer use of funds. Certificate of deposit growth has been due to normal operating procedures as the Corporation has not used any special promotions to attract increased volume. Almost all certificates of deposit mature in less than five years with the majority maturing in the next two years. As an additional source of liquidity, the Association maintains a $5.1 million cash management line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati. There were no advances outstanding at March 31, 1998 or June 30, 1997. Advances are variable rate and can be prepaid at any time without penalty. Advances may be obtained from the FHLB to fund future loan growth and liquidity as needed. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Operating results of the Corporation are affected by general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and regulatory policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. The Corporation's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and availability of funds for lending activities. The Corporation's net income primarily depends on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings. The level of net interest income is dependent on the interest rate environment and volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is also affected by provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on the sale of assets and other income, noninterest expense and income taxes. The Corporation earned net income of $332,000 and $1,008,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to net income of $210,000 and $304,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in income for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was due to an increase in net interest income partly offset by increased noninterest expense. The increase in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was due to an increase in net interest income combined with a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums which resulted from the special deposit insurance assessment recognized as expense in the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The special assessment is more fully discussed below. Net interest income totaled $1,039,000 and $3,075,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $745,000 and $2,189,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, representing increases of $294,000, or 39.5%, and $886,000, or 40.5%, respectively. The change in net interest income is attributable to higher average balances of interest earning assets being funded with the proceeds from the mutual to stock conversion. Interest and fees on loans totaled $1,882,000 and $5,585,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1,723,000 and $5,031,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, representing increases of $159,000, or 9.3%, and $554,000, or 11.0%, respectively. The increase in interest income was due to higher average loans receivable, related primarily to the origination of new one- to four-family first mortgages. Interest earned on securities increased $32,000 and $95,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase was a result of higher average balances of securities. Interest on interest-bearing demand and overnight deposits increased $41,000 and $165,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase was the result of higher average balances of interest-bearing demand and overnight funds. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Dividends on FHLB stock increased slightly for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to an increase in the number of shares of FHLB stock owned. Interest paid on deposits totaled $984,000 and $2,977,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1,017,000 and $2,981,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. Interest expense decreased by $33,000 for the comparable three month periods due to a temporary increase in the average balance of deposit accounts because of the stock subscription deposits during the three months ended March 31, 1997. However, interest expense has decreased only slightly for the nine month comparable periods as the interest rates paid on various types of deposit accounts have remained fairly stable and the Corporation has not experienced any significant change in the overall average balance or composition of its deposit portfolio. Interest on borrowings totaled $26,000 and $61,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. The Corporation borrowed funds from the FHLB for the first time during fiscal 1997. The borrowings were used as a source of short-term liquidity to provide funding for loan demand before conversion. There were no borrowings during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998. The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb reasonably foreseeable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent on a variety of factors, including performance of the loan portfolio, the economy, changes in real estate values and interest rates and the view of regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is based on management's monthly review of the loan portfolio and consideration of such factors as historical loss experience, general prevailing economic conditions, changes in size and composition of the loan portfolio and specific borrower considerations, including ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The provision for loan losses totaled $(9,000) and $26,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $56,000 and $97,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997, representing decreases of $65,000, or 116.9%, and $71,000 or 72.9%, respectively. The reduction in the provision is reflective of the fact that the Corporation has seen a reduction in problem loans coupled with the fact that has not experienced significant charge-offs in any period presented. Charge-offs experienced by the Corporation have primarily related to consumer and other non-real estate loans. As indicated previously, such loans make up an insignificant portion of the Corporation's total loan portfolio. The Corporation's low historical charge-off history is the product of a variety of factors, including the Corporation's underwriting guidelines, which generally require a loan-to-value or projected completed value ratio of 90% for purchase or construction of one- to four-family residential properties and 75% for commercial real estate and land loans, established income information and PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS defined ratios of debt to income. Notwithstanding the historical charge-off history, as well as a low volume of non-performing loans, management believes it is prudent to continue to increase the allowance for loan losses as total loans increase. Accordingly, management anticipates it will continue its provisions to the allowance for loan losses as loan growth continues. The allowance for loan losses totaled $411,000, or .43% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 1998, compared with $394,000, or .44% of gross loans receivable at March 31, 1997. Noninterest income includes service fees and other miscellaneous income. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, noninterest income totaled $15,000 and $46,000 compared to $17,000 and $47,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. Noninterest expense totaled $548,000 and $1,530,000, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $388,000 and $1,678,000 for same periods in 1997. Increases in compensation and benefits, state franchise taxes and other expenses were the primary reasons for the increase in the comparable three month periods. These increases were more than offset by a decrease federal deposit insurance premiums for the comparable nine month periods. The increase in compensation and benefits was the result of normal, annual merit increases, the addition of new employees and the Corporation's establishment of an employee stock ownership plan. The employee stock ownership plan represented 75.0% of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 80.1% of the increase for the nine months ended March 31,1998. State franchise taxes increased due to the change in corporate structure during fiscal 1997 and the resulting tax impact of higher capital levels at the Association and earnings at the Corporation. The three months ended March 31, 1998 was the first period impacted by the capital raised in the conversion. The increase in other expense was attributable to increases in director fees, professional service fees and printing costs related to the Corporation's first annual report. These increases were largely due to the mutual to stock conversion. FDIC deposit insurance expense during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 was $12,000 and $37,000, compared to $2,000 and $547,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. Included in the prior nine-month period was a special deposit insurance assessment of $456,000 resulting from legislation passed and enacted into law on September 30, 1996, to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The SAIF was below the level required by law because a significant portion of assessments paid into the SAIF by thrifts, like the Association, were used to pay the cost of prior thrift failures. The legislation called for a one-time assessment of $0.657 for each $100 in deposits held as of March 31, 1995. Because of the recapitalization of the SAIF, the disparity between the bank and thrift insurance assessments was reduced. Thrifts had been paying assessments of $0.23 per $100 of deposits, which, for most thrifts, was reduced to $0.064 per $100 in deposits in January 1997 and will be reduced to $0.024 per $100 in deposits by no later than January 2000. The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in net income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $184,000 and $557,000, representing an effective tax rate of 35.6%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $108,000 and $156,000, representing an effective tax rate of 34.0%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Prior to the enactment of legislation discussed below, thrifts which met certain tests relating to the composition of assets had been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and make annual additions thereto which could, within specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The amount of bad debt reserve deduction for "nonqualifying loans" was computed under the experience method. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction for "qualifying real property loans" could be computed under either the experience or the percentage of taxable income method, based on an annual election. In August 1996, legislation was enacted repealing the reserve method of accounting used by many thrifts to calculate their bad debt reserve for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, small thrifts, such as the Association, must recapture that portion of the reserve exceeding the amount that could have been taken under the experience method for tax years beginning after December 31, 1987. The legislation also requires thrifts to account for bad debts for federal income tax purposes on the same basis as commercial banks for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. The recapture will occur over a six-year period, commencement of which will be delayed until the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 1997, provided the institution meets certain residential lending requirements. At March 31, 1998, the Association had approximately $581,000 in bad debt reserves subject to recapture for federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability related to the recapture has been previously established so there will be no effect on future net income. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Corporation's liquidity, primarily represented by cash equivalents, is a result of operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are summarized below for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998 1997 (Dollars in thousands) Net income ........................................... $ 1,008 $ 304 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities ...............................

The Association also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Association maintains investments in liquid assets based on management's assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program. OTS regulations presently require the Association to maintain an average daily balance of investments in United States Treasury, federal agency obligations and other investments in an amount equal to 4% of the sum of the Association's average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement, which may be changed from time to time by the OTS to reflect changing economic conditions, is intended to provide a source of relatively liquid funds on which the Association may rely, if necessary, to fund deposit withdrawals or other short-term funding needs. At March 31, 1998, the Association's regulatory liquidity was 11.2%. At such date, the Corporation had commitments to originate fixed-rate commercial and residential real estate loans totaling $338,000, and variable-rate commercial and residential real estate mortgage loans totaling $1,184,000. Loan commitments are generally for 30 days. The Corporation considers its liquidity and capital reserves sufficient to meet its outstanding short- and long-term needs. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Association's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Association's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Association's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about the Association's components, risk weightings and other factors. At March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, management believes the Association complies with all regulatory capital requirements. Based on the Association's computed regulatory capital ratios, the Association is considered well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997. Management is not aware of any matters subsequent to March 31, 1998 that would cause the Association's capital category to change. PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS At March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, the Association's actual capital levels (in thousands) and minimum required levels were: Minimum Required To Be Minimum Required Well Capitalized For Capital Under Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Regulations Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- (Dollars in Thousands) March 31, 1998 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 18,453 27.4% $ 5,383 8.0% $ 6,728 10.0% Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets) 18,045 26.8 2,691 4.0 4,037 6.0 Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted total assets) 18,045 17.1 4,220 4.0 5,275 5.0 Tangible capital (to adjusted total assets) 18,045 17.1 1,583 1.5 N/A June 30, 1997 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 17,481 26.9% $ 5,208 8.0% $ 6,510 10.0% Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets) 17,088 26.3 2,604 4.0 3,906 6.0 Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted total 17,088 16.6 3,094 3.0 5,156 5.0 Tangible capital (to adjusted total assets) 17,088 16.6 1,547 1.5 N/A In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations impose limitations on payment of dividends and other capital distributions by savings associations. Under OTS regulations applicable to converted savings associations, the Association is not permitted to pay a cash dividend on its common shares if its regulatory capital would, as a result of payment of such dividends, be reduced below the amount required for the Liquidation Account, or below applicable regulatory capital requirements prescribed by the OTS. OTS regulations applicable to all savings and loan associations provide that a savings association which, immediately prior to and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to a proposed capital distribution (including a dividend), has total capital (as defined by OTS regulations) equal to or greater than the amount of its capital requirements is generally permitted without OTS approval (but subsequent to 30 days prior notice to the OTS) to make capital distributions, including dividends, during a calendar year in an amount not to exceed the greater of (1) 100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS year, plus an amount equal to one-half that which its total capital to assets ratio exceeded its required capital to assets ratio at the beginning of the calendar year, or (2) 75% of its net earnings for the most recent four-quarter period. Savings associations with total capital more than the capital requirements that have been notified by the OTS that they are in need of more than normal supervision will be subject to restrictions on dividends. A savings association failing to meet current minimum capital requirements is prohibited from making any capital distributions without the prior approval of the OTS. The Association currently meets all capital requirements and, unless the OTS determines that the Association is an institution requiring more than normal supervision, the Association may pay dividends in accordance with the foregoing provisions of OTS regulations. In December 1997, the Association acquired real estate in Anna, Ohio, and announced plans to construct a new, full-service branch banking office. The total projected cost of construction is expected to be $805,000. As of March 31, 1998, the Association has paid $109,000 in costs related to such construction. Year 2000 Issue Many computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field and were apparently designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. Such programs could erroneously read entries for the Year 2000 as the Year 1900. This could result in major systems failures and miscalculations. Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the operations of financial institutions, such as the Corporation. The Corporation has formed a Year 2000 committee to assess the extent to which it and its outside vendors may be adversely affected by Year 2000 problems. Management has determined that most programs are or will be capable of identifying the turn of the century. The issue is closely monitored by management and full compliance is expected by the end of 1998. While the Corporation does not anticipate that any Year 2000 computer problems or expenses required to correct such problems will materially affect its financial condition and results of operations, no assurance can be given in this regard.
