NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Killbuck Savings Bank Company (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of and for the year ended December 31, 2001 and related notes which are included on the Form 10-K (file no. 000-24147). NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company currently maintains a simple capital structure; therefore, there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share. As such, earnings per share are calculated using the weighted number of shares for the period. NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company is required to present comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is comprised of the following: Nine Months Nine Months Ended Ended September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 ------------------ ------------------ Net income $ 2,423,560 $ 2,170,113 Other comprehensive income: Net unrealized gain on securities 93,763 959,380 Tax effect (31,879) (326,189) ----------- ----------- Total comprehensive income $ 2,485,444 $ 2,803,304 =========== =========== Three Months Three Months Ended Ended September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 ------------------ ------------------ Net income $ 865,456 $ 710,749 Other comprehensive income: Net unrealized gain on securities 90,582 477,039 Tax effect (30,797) (162,193) ----------- ----------- Total comprehensive income $ 925,241 $ 1,025,595 =========== =========== -8- NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. The new statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. FAS No. 141 also specifies criteria which must be met for intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The adoption of FAS No. 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of this statement. However, this new statement did not amend FAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, which requires recognition and amortization of unidentified intangible assets relating to the acquisition of financial institutions or branches thereof. The FASB has undertaken a limited scope project to reconsider the provisions of FAS No. 72 in 2002 and has issued an exposure draft of a proposed statement, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, that would remove acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of FAS No. 72. The adoption of this proposed statement would require all goodwill originating from acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination as defined in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") No. 98-3 to be discontinued. The adoption of FAS No. 142 did have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Application of the non-amortization provisions of FAS No. 142 resulted in an increase in net income of $83,000 or $.12 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This statement among other things, eliminates the regularly scheduled amortization of goodwill and replaces this method with a two-step process for testing the impairment of goodwill on at least annual basis. This approach could cause more volatility in the Company's reported net income because of impairment losses, if any, could occur irregularly and in varying amounts. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2002 the beginning of its fiscal year, and immediately upon adoption stopped amortizing goodwill of $1.3 million. In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability be recognized when incurred for the retirement of a long-lived asset and the value of the asset be increased by that amount. The statement also requires that the liability be maintained at its present value in subsequent periods and outlines certain disclosures for such obligations. The new statement takes effect for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement, which is effective January 1, 2003, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. -9- On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. FAS 144 supercedes FAS 121 and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations) and consequently amends APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell. The adoption of FAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145, "Recission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". FAS No. 145 rescinds FAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. This statement also amends FASB FAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements, which are not substantive but in some cases may change accounting practice. FAS No. 145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of FAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The new statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, the adoption of which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. On October 1, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, which provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution, except those between two or more mutual enterprises. The excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination represents goodwill that should be accounted for under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the specialized accounting guidance in paragraph 5 of FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, will not apply after September 30, 2002. In accordance with Statement 147, if previously acquired branches that meet the definition of a business combination as defined in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-3, the amount of the unidentifiable intangible asset will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of that Statement. Financial institutions meeting conditions outlined in Statement 147 will be required to restate previously issued financial statements. The objective of that restatement requirement is to present the balance sheet and income statement as if the amount accounted for under Statement 72 as an unidentifiable intangible asset had been reclassified to goodwill as of the date Statement 142 was initially applied. (For example, a financial institution that adopted Statement 142 on January 1, 2002, would retroactively reclassify the unidentifiable intangible asset to goodwill as of that date and restate previously issued income statements to remove the amortization expense recognized in 2002). Those transition provisions are effective on October 1, 2002; however, early application is permitted. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 147 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. -10- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company conducts no significant business or operations of its own other than holding all of the outstanding stock of the Killbuck Savings Bank Company. As a result, references to the Company generally refer to the Bank unless the context indicates otherwise. Financial Condition Total assets at September 30, 2002 were approximately $282,966,000 compared to $281,258,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1,708,000 or .6%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,493,000 or 11.5% from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002, with federal funds sold decreasing $2,500,000. This decrease was used to fund the Bank's loan demand at September 30, 2002. Total investments decreased by $11,774,000 or 12.9% from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. There was a net decrease of $14,985,000 in available for sale U.S. Government Agency securities due to calls and maturing securities while securities held to maturity increased by $3,211,000. The Bank continued to have increased purchases of investment securities during the first nine months of 2002 due to the callable options on some of the available for sale securities. Net loans increased by $15,655,000 or 10.5% from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. Real estate loan balances have increased due to residential 1- 4 family refinancings and new commercial building loans as a result of the decline in interest rates and the local market conditions. Total deposits at September 30, 2002 were $239,767,000 compared to $237,971,000 at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1,796,000 or .8%. Time deposits decreased $8,335,000, demand accounts increased $1,661,000, savings accounts increased $4,684,000 and money markets increased $3,785,000. Management attributes these changes to normal transfers of funds within the deposit accounts and the general decline in interest rates. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-term borrowings decreased $580,000 and $445,000 respectively at September 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001. -11- Shareholders' Equity increased by $1,061,000 or 3.2%, which was mainly due to earnings of $2,424,000 for the first nine months of 2002 accentuated by a $62,000 increase in the unrealized gain on securities included in other comprehensive income, and offset by the purchase of Treasury stock for $840,000 and dividends paid totaling $585,000. Management monitors risk-based capital and leveraged capital ratios in order to assess compliance of the regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2002, the total capital ratio was 18.82%, the Tier I capital ratio was 17.58%, and the leverage ratio was 11.45%, compared to regulatory capital requirements of 8.00%, 4.00% and 4.00% respectively. These ratios are well in excess of regulatory capital requirements. -12- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, was $2,424,000, an increase of $254,000 or 11.7% from the $2,170,000 reported at September 30, 2001. Total interest income of approximately $12,106,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, compares to $14,508,000 for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $2,402,000 or 16.6%. The majority of the overall decrease in total interest income is attributed to a decrease in interest and fees on loans of $2,053,000 or 85.5% of the overall decrease. The decrease in interest and fees on loans is due to a decrease in the yield on loans. Average loan balances were $159,758,000 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $153,890,000 for the first nine months of 2001 and the yield on loans decreased to 7.2% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to 9.3% for the first nine months of 2001. Investment income increased $51,000 or 1.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period for 2001. The increase in investment income is due to an increase in volume. Average investment balances were $89,253,000 compared to $77,422,000 and the yields were 4.9% compared to 5.6% for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 respectively. See "Average Balance Sheet" for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000. Total interest expense of $4,631,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2002, represents a decrease of $2,612,000 from the $7,243,000 reported for the same nine-month period in 2001. The decrease in interest expense on deposits of $2,505,000 is due mainly to the decreases in the rates of deposit accounts. Average interest bearing deposits were $204,027,000 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $194,483,000 for the first nine months of 2002. The cost of interest bearing deposits was 2.86%, compared to 4.72% for the nine-month periods of 2002 and 2001 respectively. See "Average Balance Sheet" for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Net interest income of $7,476,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compares to $7,266,000 for the same nine-month period in 2001, an increase of $210,000 or 2.9%. Total other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, of $689,000 compares to $595,000 for the same nine month period in 2001, an increase of $94,000 or 15.8%. The increase of $49,000 in service charges on deposit accounts was attributable to normal activity within the deposit accounts due to an increase in non-time deposit accounts. Gains on sale of loans increased $47,000 due to increased activity caused by declining fixed loan rates. -13- Total other expense of $4,908,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compares to $4,755,000 for the same nine-month period in 2001. This represents an increase of $153,000 or 3.2%. Salary and employee benefits increased approximately $155,000 due to additional staff being hired as a result of opening the branch in Howard, Ohio in July 2001 and normal increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increases in the remaining expense accounts were attributable to the opening of the branch in Howard, Ohio and increases in items that are normal and recurring in nature. Of the $57,000 decrease in other expenses, an $83,000 decrease was due to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Management periodically evaluates goodwill for impairment. At this time, no impairment has been recognized. -14- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, was $865,000, an increase of $154,000 or 21.7% from the $711,000 reported at September 30, 2001. Total interest income of approximately $3,935,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, compares to $4,637,000 for the same period in 2001, a decrease of $702,000 or 15.1%. The majority of the overall decrease in total interest income is attributed to a decrease in interest and fees on loans of $504,000 or 71.8% of the overall decrease. The decrease in interest and fees on loans is due to a decrease in the yield on loan portfolio. Average loan balances were $165,479,000 compared to $153,760,000 and the yield was 6.9% compared to 8.8% for this three-month period of 2002 and 2001 respectively. The decrease in interest on investment securities of $100,000 was due to decrease in the yield on the portfolio. The average balances outstanding of $82,657,000 for 2002 compared to $80,026,000 for 2001 and the yield was 4.8% compared to 5.5% for this three-month period of 2002 and 2001 respectively. See Average Balance Sheet for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Total interest expense of $1,434,000 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2002, represents a decrease of $844,000 from the $2,278,000 reported for the same three-month period in 2001. The decrease in interest expense on deposits of $815,000 is due mainly to a decrease in yield. Average interest bearing deposits were $204,864,000 for this three-month period of 2002 compared to $197,970,000 for the same three months of 2001. The cost of interest bearing deposits was 2.6% compared to 4.3% for this three-month period of 2002 and 2001 respectively. See Average Balance Sheet for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Net interest income of $2,500,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compares to $2,359,000 for the same three-month period in 2001, an increase of $141,000 or 6.0%. Total other income for the three month period ended September 30, 2002, of $247,000 compares to $206,000 for the same three month period in 2001, an increase of $41,000 or 19.9%. The service fee income on deposits increased $25,000 due to an increase in the accounts being serviced. Gains on sale of loans increased $14,000 due to the Bank's increased activity caused by declining fixed loan rates. Total other expense of $1,594,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compares to $1,558,000 for the same three-month period in 2001. This represents an increase of $36,000 or 2.3%. Salary and employee benefits increased $48,000 due to normal recurring employee cost increases for salary and employee benefits. Of the $29,000 decrease in other expenses, a $28,000 decrease was due to the adoption of FASB's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Management periodically evaluates goodwill for impairment. At this time, no impairment has been recognized. -15- Liquidity Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on the Company's commitments to make loans and management's assessment of the Company's ability to generate funds. The primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations and advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company uses its sources of funds to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing time deposits and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. Cash and amounts due from depository institutions and federal funds sold totaled $26,775,000 at September 30, 2002. These assets provide the primary source of liquidity for the Company. In addition, management has designated a substantial portion of the investment portfolio, $36,435,000 as available for sale and has an available unused line of credit of $17,081,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to provide additional sources of liquidity at September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had commitments to fund loans of approximately $5,124,000 and unused lines of credit totaling $17,208,000. Cash was provided during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, mainly from operating activities of $1.7 million, a net increase in deposits of $1.8 million, and the maturities and repayments of investment securities of $27.6 million. Cash was used during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, mainly to fund a net increase in loans of $15.8 million, and for the purchase of investment securities of $15.8 million. In addition $1.0 million was also used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-term borrowings during the first nine months of 2002, $.6 was used to purchase premises and equipment, $.8 million was used to purchase Treasury Stock and $.6 million was used to pay dividends to shareholders. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.8 million at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $3.5 million from $30.3 million at December 31, 2001. Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely affect its liquidity or ability to meet its funding needs in the normal course of business. -16- Risk Elements The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more past due, other real estate loans and repossessed assets at September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are doubts about collectability of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. Renegotiated loans are those loans in which the terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower. September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------ ----------- (dollars in thousands) Loans on nonaccrual basis $ 352 $ 221 Loans past due 90 days or more 195 125 Renegotiated loans - - ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans 547 346 Other real estate - - Repossessed assets - - ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets $ 547 $ 346 ====== ====== Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans 0.32% 0.23% Nonperforming loans as a percent of total assets 0.19% 0.12% Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets 0.19% 0.12% Management monitors impaired loans on a continual basis. As of September 30, 2002, impaired loans had no material effect on the company's financial position or results from operations. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002, totaled approximately $2,330,000 or 1.38% of total loans as compared to approximately $2,261,000 or 1.5% at December 31, 2001. Provisions for loan losses were $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $262,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The level of funding for the provision is a reflection of the overall loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans consist of approximately $410,000 in one to four family residential mortgages, $29,000 in commercial loans and $108,000 in consumer loans. The collateral requirements on such loans reduce the risk of potential losses to an acceptable level in management's opinion. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. The evaluation incorporates internal loan review, actual historical losses, as well as any negative economic trends in the local market. The evaluation is presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers to be adequate to provide for the inherent risk of loss in the portfolio, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. -17- Average Balance Sheet for the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30 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 and the average yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances has caused any material differences in the information presented.

Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and paying liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market values of long-term interest-earnings assets. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk managements is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are dependent upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area. One of the principal functions of the Company's asset/liability management program is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability program is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of a bank's rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing "gap" provide an indication of the extent that the Company's net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap, a position of more rate sensitive assets than rate sensitive liabilities, is desired. During a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap is desired, that is, a position in which rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets. At September 30, 2002, the Company had a cumulative positive gap of $52.1 million or 18.2% at the one-year horizon. The gap analysis indicates that if interest rates were to rise 200 basis points (2.00%), the Company's net interest income would improve at the one-year horizon because the Company's rate sensitive assets would reprice faster than rate sensitive liabilities. Conversely, if rates were to fall 200 basis points, the Company's net interest income would decline. Management also manages interest rate risk with the use of simulation modeling which measures the sensitivity of future net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. The analysis is based on repricing opportunities for variable rate assets and liabilities and upon contractual maturities of fixed rate instruments. The stimulation also calculates net interest income based upon rate increases or decrease of + or - 200 basis points (or 2.00%) in 100 basis point (or 1.00%) increments. The analysis reprices the balance sheet and forecasts future cash flows over a one-year horizon at the net interest rate levels. The cash flows are then totaled to calculate net interest income. Assumptions are made for loan and investment pre-payment speeds and are incorporated into the simulation as well. Loan and investment pre-payment speeds will increase as interest rates decrease and slow as interest rates rise. The current analysis indicates that, given a 200 basis point overnight decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a potential $387,000 or 12.4% decline in net interest income. If rates were to increase 200 basis points, the analysis indicates that the Company's net interest income would increase $391,000 or 12.5%. It is important to note, however, that this exercise would be a worst-case scenario. It would be more likely to have incremental changes in interest rates, rather than a single significant increase or decrease. -21- When management believes interest rate movements will occur, it can restructure the balance sheet and thereby the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities which in turn will effect the net interest income. It is important to note; however, that in gap analysis and simulation modeling not all assets and liabilities with similar maturities and repricing opportunities will reprice at the same time or to the same degree and therefore, could effect forecasted results. Much of the Bank's deposits have the ability to reprice immediately, however, deposit rates are not tied to an external index. As a result, although changing market interest rates impact repricing, the Bank retains much of the control over repricing by determinging itself the extent and timing of repricing deposit products. In addition, the Bank maintains a significant portion of its investment portfolio as available for sale securities and also has a significant variable rate loan portfolio, which is used to offset rate sensitive liabilities. Changes in market interest rates can also affect the Bank's liquidity position through the impact rate change may have on the market value of the available for sale portion of the investment portfolio. Increase in market rates can adversely impact the market values and therefore, make it more difficult for the Bank to sell available for sale securities needed for general liquidity purposes without incurring a loss on the sale. This issue is addressed by the Bank with the use of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and the selling of fixed rate mortgages as a source of liquidity to the Bank. The Company's liquidity plan allows for the use of long-term advances or short-term lines of credit with the FHLB as a source of funds. Borrowing from FHLB not only provides a source of liquidity for the Company, but also serves as a tool to reduce interest risk as well. The Company may structure borrowings from FHLB to match those of customers credit requests, and therefore, lock in interest rate spreads over the lives of the loans. In addition to borrowing from the FHLB as a source for liquidity, the Company also participates in the secondary mortgage market. Specifically, the Company sells fixed rate, residential real estate mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). The sales to Freddie Mac not only provide an opportunity for the Bank to remain competitive in the market place, by allowing it to offer a fixed rate mortgage product, but also provide an additional source of liquidity and an additional tool for management to limit interest rate risk exposure. The Bank continues to service all loans sold to Freddie Mac. -22- Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures are the control and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchanges Commission's rules and forms. -23- Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings None Item 2 - Changes in the rights of the Company's security holders None Item 3 - Defaults by the Company on its senior securities None Item 4 - Results of votes of security holders None Item 5 - Other Information None Item 6 - Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K a) The following exhibits are included in this report or incorporated herein by reference: 3(i) Articles of Incorporation of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc.* 3(ii) Code of Regulations of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc.* 10 Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Commercial and Savings Bank Co.* 21 Subsidiaries of Registrant* 99.1 Independent Accountant's Report 99.2 Certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
