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 June 30,
2002, 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001, included in its 2001 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 2001 Annual Report.
Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. ("Corporation") has consistently followed these
policies in preparing this Form 10-QSB. Income tax expense is based on the
effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future
business combinations. Upon the adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising
from business combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather will be
assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a
reduction to earnings in the period identified. The Corporation adopted this
Statement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement has not impacted
the Corporation's financial statements, as it has no intangible assets.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which amends SFAS No. 121 by addressing business
segments accounted for as a discontinued operation under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30. This Statement was effective beginning January 1, 2002.
The effect of this Statement on the financial position and results of operations
of the Corporation was not material.

The interest rate on the convertible advance is fixed for a specific period of
time, then convertible to a variable rate at the option of the FHLB. If the
convertible option is exercised, the advance may be prepaid without penalty. The
mortgage-matched and constant monthly payment advances require monthly principal
and interest payments.

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 June 30, 2002, the Bank has approximately $4,596,000 still 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.

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.

A summary of the contractual amounts of financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 follows:

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio
State Bancshares, Inc. at June 30, 2002, compared to December 31, 2001, and the
consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. 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 5.78% asset growth since December 31, 2001, as
total assets increased $5,287,000 from $91,407,000 at December 31, 2001 to
$96,694,000 at June 30, 2002. Most of this growth is attributable to a
$5,964,000 net increase in securities and a $2,370,000 net increase in loans
offset by a $3,019,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents. This growth was
funded through the previously mentioned reduction of cash and cash equivalents,
$507,000 growth in total deposits and $4,042,000 growth in borrowings.

Securities available for sale and securities held to maturity increased
$5,964,000 from $21,918,000 at December 31, 2001 to $27,882,000 at June 30,
2001. The increase was primarily the result of a leveraged purchase of
$5,000,000 in U.S. government agency and mortgage backed securities funded
entirely through Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. This was done due to a
positive interest spread between borrowing rates and investment securities.
Management feels that this type of growth is positive, when the interest rate
environment accommodates it, because it allows for increased earnings with
almost no credit risk and at the same time adds to the size of the Corporation
with almost no increase in overhead.

Net loans increased $2,370,000, or 4.12% during the period from December 31,
2001 to June 30, 2002. Contributing to the net increase in loans was a
$3,521,000, or 14.34%, increase in real estate loans partially offset by a
$887,000 decrease in commercial loans. The continued growth in real estate loans
is the result of management's strategy to increase this portfolio in order to
de-emphasize the installment portfolio as a percent of total loans. This
strategy is aimed at increasing the diversity of the total loan portfolio and
softens the impact of the credit risk inherent in an installment portfolio.

                                                                              12

                           OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.
                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION;
                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The allowance for loan losses increased to $781,000, or 1.29% of total loans as
of June 30, 2002 compared to $714,000, or 1.23% of total loans at December 31,
2001. The increase is due to a provision for loan losses of $215,000 compared to
actual net charge-offs of $148,000. 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 $507,000, or 0.62% from December 31, 2001 to June 30,
2002. 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.

Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank have increased $4,042,000 from
December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002. As mentioned previously in this discussion,
$5,000,000 was borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank to purchase AAA rated
securities of similar structure and maturity. The reduction in net growth of
borrowed funds was a $1,000,000 advance taken in the prior year that matured
early in 2002. For further discussion regarding the use of these funds and the
terms relating to these borrowings see Note 4 of the condensed consolidated
financial statements.

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.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $478,000, or $173,000 more
than the same period in 2001. The reason for the increase in earnings was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $473,000 partially offset
by increases in provision for loan losses of $60,000, noninterest expenses of
$149,000, and applicable taxes.

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 $473,000, or 30.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared
to the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income is attributable
to increased average earning asset balances, better rate pricing for deposits,
and the utilization of more advanced analytical tools to monitor liquidity
levels and maturity gaps between interest sensitive assets and liabilities.

Noninterest expense was up $149,000, or 11.75% for the six months ended June 30,
2002 versus the six months ended June 30, 2001. The largest fluctuations in this
category came from salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense,
professional fees, loan collection expense and other noninterest expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits

                                                                              13

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

is up $106,000, or 18.16%, due to the addition of a middle management position
and four entry level positions, normal raises and higher executive bonuses tied
to company performance. Occupancy expense is up $11,000, or 4.55%, due to a
building addition costing roughly $500,000 that was completed in the second half
of 2001. Professional fees are down $29,000, or 29.39%, due to higher attorney
and accounting fees in the first quarter of 2001 relating to a lawsuit and a
federal tax audit. Loan collection expenses were up $14,000, or 58.54%, due to
increased charge-off activity. Other expenses were up $22,000, or 18.12%, due to
increased Federal Reserve service charges, commissions on Bounce Protection
program, and employee education.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $263,000, or $119,000
more than the same period in 2001. The reason for the increase in earnings was
primarily due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income
partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses and provisions for loan
losses.

Net interest income increased by $264,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income is
attributable to increased average earning asset balances, better deposit rate
pricing, and the utilization of more advanced analytical tools to monitor
liquidity levels and maturity gaps between interest sensitive assets and
liabilities.

Noninterest income increased by $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002
compared to the same period in 2001. Most of this increase was due to the Bounce
Protection program and gain recognized on calls of securities purchased with
discounts.

Noninterest expense was up $85,000, or 13.51% for the three months ended June
30, 2002 versus the three months ended June 30, 2001. Salaries and employee
benefits were up $48,000 due to the addition of a middle management position and
four entry level positions, normal raises and higher executive bonuses tied to
company performance. Advertising and public relations expenses were up $13,000
due to increased public donations and advertising related to new checking
account programs. Occupancy expense was up $7,000 due to building additions and
loan collection expenses were also up $7,000 due to increased charge-off
activity.

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:

                                                                              14

      Tier 1 capital to average assets            7.4            7.2


At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Bank was categorized as well
capitalized. However, due to the success in asset growth the Corporation has
seen in the past several years, the Board of Directors has found it necessary to
raise additional capital to support future growth. For this reason, a public
offering of the Corporation's stock commenced in late July of 2002. Important
information relating to this offering can be found in the offering material,
which includes a prospectus, and can be obtained at our corporate office at 111
S. Main St, Marion, Ohio, or as part of a filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on July 19, 2002 at www.sec.gov.

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 $5,184,000 at June 30, 2002 and
$8,202,000 at December 31, 2001. 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.

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.
