PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 consolidated financial position of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. at March 31, 2001, 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 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 Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in its 2000 Annual Report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. described in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in its 2000 Annual Report. Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-QSB. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. ("OSB") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Marion Bank ("Bank"), together referred to as the Corporation. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Corporation provides financial services through its main and branch office in Marion, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. The Corporation is primarily organized to operate in the banking industry. Substantially all revenues and services are derived from banking products and services in Marion County and contiguous counties. Accordingly, the Corporation's operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. 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 the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is not currently applicable since OSB has no potentially dilutive common shares. Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the 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. Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was adopted by the Corporation on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 does not allow hedging of a security which is classified as held to maturity. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 had no impact on the Corporation's financial statements. (Continued) 7. 8 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS 140 replaces SFAS 125 and resolves various implementation issues while carrying forward most of the provisions of SFAS 125 without change. SFAS 140 revises standards for transfers of financial assets by clarifying criteria and expanding guidance for determining whether the transferor has relinquished control and the transfer is therefore accounted for as a sale. SFAS 140 also adopts new accounting requirements for pledged collateral and requires new disclosures about securitizations and pledged collateral. SFAS 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on the Corporations's financial statements.

NOTE 4 - BORROWINGS On January 24, 2001, the Bank borrowed $1,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). This borrowing matures on January 24, 2011, and has a fixed rate of 4.68% for one year. After one year, the FHLB may continue the fixed rate or convert the borrowing to a variable rate tied to the three-month LIBOR index. If the borrowing is converted to a variable rate, the Bank may payoff the debt with no penalty. At no time is the borrowing callable by the FHLB. The Bank has a line of credit agreement with the FHLB, which is collateralized by a blanket pledge on eligible real estate loans and the Bank's FHLB stock. As of March 31, 2001, the Bank has approximately $4,680,000 available for future advances. NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES 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, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations. (Continued) 10. 11 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at the exercise of the commitment. Commitments to extend credit, primarily in the form of undisbursed portions of approved lines of credit, consist primarily of variable rate commitments. The interest rates on these commitments ranged from 6.25% to 12.00% at March 31, 2001 and 6.25% to 12.50% at December 31, 2000. Outstanding commitments for credit cards had interest rates ranging from 12.00% to 17.90% as of March 31, 2001 and from 12.00% to 18.00% as of December 31, 2000. A summary of the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 follows: March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Commitments to extend credit $ 2,612,000 $ 2,328,000 Credit card arrangements 2,537,000 2,443,000 Letters of credit 10,000 10,000 NOTE 6 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Other comprehensive income components and related taxes were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000: Three Months Ended March 31 -------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities $ 193,391 $ 16,777 Reclassification adjustments for (gains) and losses later recognized as income (6,020) -- ---------- ----------- Net unrealized gains and losses 187,371 16,777 Tax effect (63,706) (5,704) ---------- ----------- Other comprehensive income (loss) $ 123,665 $ 11,073 ========== =========== (Continued) 11. 12 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 7 - REGULATORY MATTERS On February 10, 2000, the Corporation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") by and among The Marion Bank, Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, whereby the Bank had agreed to comply with certain directives which were intended to correct operational deficiencies and improve overall financial condition. Throughout 2000, management satisfactorily completed all provisions of the MOU and on January 18, 2001, this agreement was dissolved. However, in order to continue operational efficiencies and improve the financial condition of the Bank, the Board of Directors resolved to, among other things, develop a long-term strategic plan, maintain a tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of at least 7.0%, and reduce concentrations in indirect automobile lending. If at the end of any quarter this ratio falls below 7.0%, management will provide, in writing, a plan to restore this ratio to the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. The actual tier 1 capital to average assets ratio for the Bank for the quarter ending March 31, 2001 was 7.14%. 12. 13 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. at March 31, 2001, compared to December 31, 2000, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same period in 2000. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements than what could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. When used in this Form 10-QSB or future filings by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," "believe," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, changes in levels of market interest rates, credit risks of lending activities and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Corporation's financial performance and could cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. See Exhibit 99, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Corporation is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations except as discussed herein. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation has experienced 6.06% asset growth since December 31, 2000, as total assets increased $4,423,000 from $73,040,000 at December 31, 2000 to $77,463,000 at March 31, 2001. Most of this growth is attributable to the $3,203,000 growth in total deposits and the $1,000,000 growth in FHLB borrowings. This $4,203,000 inflow of cash supported a $1,587,000 net increase in securities, $340,000 net increase in loans, and $2,370,000 increase in cash equivalents. Securities available for sale and securities held to maturity increased $1,587,000 from $14,063,000 at December 31, 2000 to $15,650,000 at March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily the result of $2,584,000 in purchases due to excess funds provided from deposit growth and $187,000 in appreciation of available for sale securities due to the general decline in interest rates, partially offset by $1,182,000 of calls, principle paydowns and sales. Net loans increased $340,000, or 0.65% during the period from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. This is primarily due to net loan originations less payments of $2,051,000 offset by a loan sale of $1,722,000. On February 16, 2001 the Bank sold a commercial loan guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") for a pre-tax profit of $68,000. The Bank is not obligated to repurchase this loan and is not subject to a penalty if the loan prepays. Contributing to the net increase in loans was a $841,000, or 3.38%, increase in consumer installment loans, a $813,000, or 6.73%, increase in real estate loans and a $1,301,000, or 8.99%, decrease in commercial loans primarily due to the loan sale. 13. 14 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The allowance for loan losses increased to $633,000, or 1.19% of total loans, as of March 31, 2001 compared to $610,000, or 1.16% of total loans, at December 31, 2000. The increase is due to a provision for loan losses of $75,000 compared to actual net charge-offs of $52,000. Management is actively monitoring problem loans and has increased collection efforts to reduce charge-offs in future periods. Should charge-offs, classified loans or delinquencies significantly change, management will increase the provision for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Total deposits increased $3,203,000, or 4.79% from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the cyclical cash needs of customers and current market conditions. The additional cash was used to fund securities and loan growth. Making up the net deposit growth for the quarter is an increase of $2,574,000 in time deposits, $1,342,000 in interest-bearing demand, $362,000 in savings, and a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $1,075,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The operating results of the Corporation are affected by general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and the 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 consumer and business demand, which, in turn, is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities. The Corporation's net income is primarily dependent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on the sale of assets and other income, noninterest expense and income taxes also affect net income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $160,000, or $59,000 more than the same period in 2000. The reason for the increase in earnings was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income of $108,000 and an increase of net interest income of $27,000 partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $52,000. Net interest income is the largest component of Corporation's income and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income increased by $27,000, or 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in net interest income is attributable to the Corporation's average earning assets increasing $4,094,000, or 6.24%, from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. Noninterest income was up $108,000, or 134.95%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus the same period in 2000. $68,000 of the increase is attributable to the USDA guaranteed loan sale and $31,000 relates to increased fees for customer service. Fees for customer service have increased due to the Bank's new Bounce Protection program that allows all checking customers to overdraft their accounts from $100 to $500, based upon the type of account, without getting checks returned. The Bounce Protection program has resulted in customers overdrafting more checks. However, the Bank's average overdraft balance has only increased from $16,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2000 to $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The remaining $9,000 in increased noninterest income relates to security gains and other noninterest income. Noninterest expense was up $52,000, or 8.93%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus the same period in 2000. The largest fluctuations in this category came from professional fees, occupancy and equipment expense, and loan collection and repossession expense. Professional fees have increased $23,000 compared to the prior year due to increased internal audit costs and final legal bills relating to a lawsuit settlement recorded in fiscal year 2000. 14. 15 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occupancy and equipment expenses have increased $15,000 due to the addition of a new check sorter and software relating to statement preparation and internet services. Loan collection and repossession expense has decreased by $15,000 due to decreased repossession activity due to better collection efforts. CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors, and regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action having a direct material affect on the operations of the Bank. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The minimum requirements are: Capital to risk- weighted assets --------------- Tier 1 capital Total Tier 1 to average assets ----- ------ ----------------- Well capitalized 10% 6% 5% Adequately capitalized 8% 4% 4% Undercapitalized 6% 3% 3% At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the actual capital ratios for the Bank were: March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ---- ---- Total capital to risk-weighted assets 10.9% 10.6% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 9.7 9.4 Tier 1 capital to average assets 7.1 7.1 At March 31, 2001 and December 31 2000, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized. However, OSB must obtain prior written approval from the Federal Reserve Bank before paying dividends to its shareholders. LIQUIDITY Liquidity management focuses on the ability to have funds available to meet the loan and depository transaction needs of the Bank's customers and the Corporation's other financial commitments. Cash and cash equivalent assets (which include deposits this Bank maintains at other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments) totaled $7,080,000 at March 31, 2001 and $4,710,000 at December 31, 2000. These assets provide the primary source of funds for loan demand and deposit balance fluctuations. Additional sources of liquidity are securities classified as available for sale and access to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, as the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. 15. 16 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking into account the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation maintained by the Corporation, available liquidity sources are considered adequate to meet current and projected needs. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a more detailed review of the Corporation's sources and uses of cash. 16. 17 OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.
