Exhibit 13 [PEOPLE'S OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION LOGO] Dear Shareholder: Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation( OTC: POHF), the parent company of Peoples Savings Bank (Troy-Piqua-Clayton), reported record earnings year for fiscal 2002 . . . making this fiscal year the most profitable in the history of our 112-year old financial institution. This accomplishment reflects a 10% increase over the previous fiscal year while we showed growth in almost every area of banking services. Formal start-up of the savings and loan holding company (effective January, 2002) was a major initiative for our organization. We believe that the holding company creates opportunities for enhanced profitability and shareholder value. In addition to our ability to diversify and expand services, the holding company will allow us to repurchase shares of Peoples stock . . . a strategy the board of directors has already approved. This initiative, coupled with increased dividends for shareholders, could impact shareholder value. Contributing to Peoples' overall success is our ongoing strategy of providing very good basic products/services while growing and developing new areas of service. During the past fiscal year, significant technology-driven services were improved or introduced including remittance processing (for businesses), automation of new account customer database software, and check imaging. These services all represent a significant investment in technology, which dramati- cally increases and improves our ability to sell and service customers. Two of these areas are particularly noteworthy. Remittance processing, which allows businesses to outsource bill collection and to improve their cash flow in process, has continued to grow and is impacted by new equipment. In addi- tion, check imaging was introduced successfully this year and allows customers to streamline account balancing and information storage by using "imaged" checks in summary format rather than bulky packs of cancelled checks. Response from individual and business customers regarding these two product/services has been very strong. Our management staff and employees have always been an important part of any success Peoples has achieved. I am pleased to announce that two extremely capable professionals have joined our already strong executive management team. Richard (Rich) Dutton, CPA, joined the Peoples team, as VP/CFO and most recently was a partner with the accounting firm of BKD, the 8(th) largest firm of its kind in the U.S. Soon after, Anne Mercer came on board as VP/Chief Lending Officer and brings great experience in residential/commercial lending as well as being a CPA. She is already well-known in the Troy/Miami County community. In the facilities area, major renovations were completed at the main office in Troy in order to improve and consolidate the banking center/new accounts areas and to improve use of space for the lending area. Also, the Piqua banking cen- ter was doubled in size and renovated as result of adjacent building space becoming available. Hospitality areas (popcorn, coffee, pop) were added at both locations. All this was accomplished while achieving record earnings as well as improved productivity and efficiency ratios. As this annual report outlines, total earnings for fiscal year 2002 were $2,675,000, or $.35 per diluted share. While non-performing loans increased slightly during the year, the Bank's asset quality remained strong with non-performing loans comprising just 0.45% of the Bank's loan portfolio at June 30, 2002 compared to 0.26% in the prior year. In addition, return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.23% while return on equity (ROE) was 11.84% for fiscal year 2002. Peoples enjoyed another strong year in the mortgage loan area and made continued progress in the Trust Department which manages $133,652,000 in assets. While striving to be innovative and competitive, Peoples remains a community financial organization at its core. A well-managed and high-earning company, Peoples focuses on being loyal to its local roots and values. We are always looking to the future in terms of product development and improved delivery systems, while remembering that the beneficiaries must be our customers, the community, and most importantly, our shareholders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (Bank), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies are described below. The Bank operates under a state thrift charter and provides full banking services, including trust services. As a state-chartered thrift, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is a savings and loan holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of the Bank. The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in Miami County, and surrounding counties. The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, cash equivalents consisted of interest-bearing demand deposits. 8 [LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) SECURITIES Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses, based on amortized cost of the specific security, are included in other income. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in stockholders' equity. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity. Interest and dividends on investments in debt and equity securities are included in income when earned. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, determined using an aggregate basis. Write-downs to fair value are recognized as a charge to earnings at the time the decline in value occurs. Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans are acquired to reduce market risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale. Gains and losses resulting from sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loans are sold to investors. Gains and losses are determined by the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the loans sold, net of discounts collected or paid and considering a normal servicing rate. Fees received from borrowers to guarantee the funding of mortgage loans held for sale and fees paid to investors to ensure the ultimate sale of such mortgage loans are recognized as income or expense when the loans are sold or when it becomes evident that the commitment will not be used. LOANS Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-offs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. 9 [LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. FORECLOSED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. STOCK OPTIONS Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Bank accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with is subsidiary. 10 [LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 2: INVESTMENTS HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES JUNE 30, 2002 GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPROXIMATE COST GAINS (LOSSES) FAIR VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury $ 100 $ 5 $ -- $ 105 Mortgage-backed securities 921 47 -- 968 State and political subdivisions 100 1 -- 101 -------- -------- --------- ------- $ 1,121 $ 53 $ 0 $ 1,174 ======== ======== ========= ======= JUNE 30, 2001 GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPROXIMATE COST GAINS (LOSSES) FAIR VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury $ 100 $ 2 $ -- $ 102 Mortgage-backed securities 1,284 25 -- 1,309 State and political subdivisions 100 -- (8) 92 -------- -------- --------- ------- $ 1,484 $ 27 $ (8) $ 1,503 ======== ======== ========= ======= Maturities of held-to-maturity debt investments at June 30, 2002: AMORTIZED APPROXIMATE COST FAIR VALUE -------------------------- After one through five years $ 100 $ 105 After ten years 100 101 Mortgage-backed securities not due on a single maturity date 921 968 --------- ------- $ 1,121 $ 1,174 ========= ======= The book value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, amounted to $910,115 at June 30, 2002, and $1,269,808 at June 30, 2001.

The Bank would thereafter be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the holding company. Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation was incorporated on July 20, 2001 and the transaction with the Bank was consummated January 25, 2002. The reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $812,600. NOTE 10: REGULATORY MATTERS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. 15 [LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of June 30, 2002, the most recent notification from Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well- capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. TO BE WELL-CAPITALIZED FOR CAPITAL ADEQUACY UNDER PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTUAL PURPOSES ACTION PROVISIONS AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of June 30, 2002 Total Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $24,717 16.4% $12,051 8.0% $15,064 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) 23,836 15.8% 6,026 4.0% 9,039 6.0% Core Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 23,836 10.8% 8,803 4.0% 11,003 5.0% Tangible Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 23,836 10.8% 3,301 1.5% As of June 30, 2001 Total Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $22,226 16.8% $10,588 8.0% $13,235 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) 21,383 16.2% 5,294 4.0% 7,941 6.0% Core Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 21,383 10.0% 6,442 3.0% 10,736 5.0% Tangible Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 21,383 10.0% 3,221 1.5% Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends not exceeding net profits (as defined) for the current year plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years. The Bank normally restricts dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital structure. At June 30, 2002, total regulatory capital of the Bank was $23,836,000, of which approximately $5,764,662 was potentially available for distribution to the Company. 16 [LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 11: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Bank's defined-benefit pension plan covers substantially all of its employees.

The Bank matches employees' contributions at the rate of 3 percent of base salary contributed by participants. The Bank's expense for the plan was $40,079 for 2002, $39,357 for 2001 and $41,200 for 2000. The Bank also has an employee stock ownership plan covering substantially all of its employees. The cost of the plan is borne by the Bank through contributions to an employee stock ownership trust in amounts determined by the Board of Directors. The cash contributions to the plan in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $40,000, $40,000 and $64,125, respectively. In addition to the contributions made to participants' accounts, the accounts are credited annually with the participants' share of investment earnings, losses or expenses of the trust fund. Benefits under the Plan become 100% vested over periods up to 7 years or in the event of death, disability, or attaining age 65 (normal retirement age under the Plan) or termination of the Plan. The total number of shares held by the plan, all of which have been allocated to participant accounts, were 139,916 and 127,166 at June 30, 2002 and 2001. Under certain circumstances, the ESOP may be obligated to repurchase allocated ESOP shares. All ESOP shares are included as outstanding in the calculation of earnings per share information.

Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. The aggregate amount of loans, as defined, to such related parties were as follows: Balances, July 1, 2001 $ 2,252 Changes in composition of related parties 712 New loans, including renewals 15 Payments, etc., including renewals (135) --------- Balances, June 30, 2002 $ 2,844 ========= NOTE 13: STOCK OPTION PLAN Under the Bank's incentive stock option plan, the Bank grants selected executives and other key employees stock option awards which vest and become fully exercisable at the date of grant. Under the Bank's stock option plan for nonemployee directors, at each year's annual meeting of shareholders, there shall be granted automatically to each outside director, the option to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock. Both plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. During 2002, the Bank granted options for 79,500 shares of the Bank's common stock. The exercise price of each option, which has a ten-year life, was equal to the market price of the Bank's stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense was recognized. Although the Bank has elected to follow APB No. 25, SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the Bank had accounted for its employee stock options under that Statement. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------------- Risk-free interest rates 5.2% 5.7 to 5.8% 6.4 to 6.5% Dividend yields .88% to 1.99% .88% .01% Volatility factors of expected market price of common stock 29% to 37% 35% 15% Weighted-average expected life of the options 10 years 10 years 10 years 19 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [LOGO] ========================================================================= (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is recognized in the amount of the estimated fair value of the options and amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Bank does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fair values for investment securities equal quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities. LOANS The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value. 24 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [LOGO] ========================================================================= (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) DEPOSITS The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. FHLB ADVANCES Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND LINES OF CREDIT The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. NOTE 16: COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [LOGO] ========================================================================= (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Bank had outstanding fixed-rate commitments to originate loans aggregating approximately $5,516,000 and $6,292,000, respectively. The commitments extended over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within a one-year period. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank had total outstanding letters of credit amounting to $383,000 and $735,000, at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, with terms ranging from 16 days to 3 years. Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $2,630,000 and $8,451,000 for commercial lines and open-end consumers lines, respectively. At June 30, 2001, unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregated approximately $2,601,000 for commercial lines and $6,419,000 for open-end consumer lines. 26 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= Peoples Ohio Financial Corp (the Company) is based in west central Ohio and is the parent company of Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (the Bank). The Company was formed during the year to allow management the flexibility to enter into certain transactions not permitted to the Bank as well as to take advantage of a more effective structure for expanded financial activities. The Bank, a state chartered savings bank, was originally chartered in 1890.The Bank, a state chartered savings bank, was originally chartered in 1890.

In addition to traditional banking services, the Bank provides full trust services through its trust department. All references to the Company include the Bank unless otherwise indicated. Forward Looking Statements In addition to historical information, this annual report may include certain forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those management expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the composition or quality of the Bank's loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. A further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in detail in the Company's 2002 Form 10-K. The Company 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 events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 The Company reported earnings of $2,675,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $254,000, or 10%, above the $2,421,000 reported for the same period in 2001. Basic earnings per share increased $0.03 or 9.1% from $0.33 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $0.36 for the year ended June 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.03 or 9.4% from $0.32 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $0.35 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The Company's return on average assets was 1.23% for 2002 compared to 1.14% for 2001 and the return on average equity was 11.84% for 2002 compared to 11.87% for 2001. Earnings were higher in 2002 as a result of an increase in net interest income of $1,421,000, or 20%, from $6,946,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $8,367,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. This increase was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $970,000 or 20.5%, from $4,737,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $5,707,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. NET INTEREST INCOME was $8,367,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $1,421,000, or 20%, higher than the $6,946,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to a $1,840,000, or 1.0% decline in interest expense that was partially offset by a $420,000 decline in interest income earned during the year ended June 30, 2002. These declines were the result of the general decline in market interest rates occurring throughout fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. Note, the Federal Reserve Bank's (the Fed") "Open Market Committee" which establishes the Federal funds rate and the discount rate, lowered these key interest rates a total of 14 times from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2002. The interest rates the Company charges its borrowers and pays its depositors are significantly influenced by these rates. 27 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= Interest income was $15,918,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $420,000 or 2.6%, from $16,338,000 for the year ended June 30 2001, as interest income earned on all categories of earning assets declined in comparison to the previous year. As illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, this decline was primarily attributable to a decline in interest income earned on loans. Interest income earned on loans was $15,548,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $280,000 or 1.8% less than the $15,828,000 earned for the year ended June 30, 2001. Lower interest rates made borrowing attractive and contributed to the growth in the average balance of loans outstanding during the year. As a result, average loans outstanding during the year increased $4,311,000 or 2.2%, from $196,338,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $200,649,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The average yield earned on those loans declined 31 basis points from 8.06% for the year ended June 30, 2001 to 7.75% for the year ended June 30, 2002. This decline in yield was attributable to the local market's reaction to the Fed's previously mentioned rate reductions. Interest expense was $7,552,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1,840,000 or 19.6%, from $9,392,000 for the year ended June 30 2001, as interest expense paid on certificates of deposit and FHLB advances declined significantly in comparison to the previous year. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was $2,416,000, $938,000 or 28.0% lower than the $3,354,000 recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001. As illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, the average balance of certificates of deposit decline by $1,827,000, from $55,514,000 for the year ending June 30, 2001 to $53,687,000 for the year ending June 30, 2002. In addition, the average rate paid on those certificates of deposit decreased by 154 basis points, from 6.04% during 2001 to 4.50% during 2002. Interest expense on FHLB advances was $4,206,000, $1,081,000 or 20.4% lower than the $5,287,000 recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001. Also illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, the average balance of FHLB advances declined by $6,000,000, from $85,088,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $79,088,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. In addition, the average rate paid on those FHLB advances decreased by 89 basis points, from 6.21% during 2001 to 5.32% during 2002. These declines were somewhat offset by slight increases in interest expense on the Company's demand deposit and savings accounts as depositors chose to invest proceeds from maturing certificates in these short-term accounts. Accordingly, the average balance of the Company's interest-bearing NOW and money market accounts increased $13,153,000, from $21,964,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001, to $35,117,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, while the average balance of the Company's savings accounts increased $4,086,000 during the same period. 28 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. All average balances are daily average balances.

For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in volume multiplied by the prior year rate, and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in rate multiplied by the prior year volume. Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The provision for both periods reflects management's analysis of the Company's loan portfolio based on information that is currently available to it at such time. In particular, management considers the level of non-performing loans and potential problem loans. Total charge-offs for 2002 were $111,000 compared to $51,000 during 2001. The charge-offs recorded in both periods related to several loans. While Company management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based on information currently available to it, no assurances can be made that future events, conditions, or regulatory directives will not result in increased provisions for loan losses which may adversely effect income. NONINTEREST INCOME totaled $1,561,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $76,000, or 5.1%, higher than the $1,485,000 recorded for the year ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to fees related to the introduction of a new service, remittance processing, during the year ended June 30, 2002 which generated $76,000 in fee income, as well as an increase in fees related to services provided to deposit customers of $90,000, from $522,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $612,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. These increases were partially offset by a decline in revenue generated by the Bank's trust department of $57,000 from $818,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $761,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The reduction in trust department revenue was a result a decline in "assets under management" related to the downturn in the financial markets. 30 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $5,707,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $970,000 or 20.5% higher than the $4,737,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expenses and professional fees during the year. Salaries and employee benefits totaled $2,740,000 for 2002 and $$2,244,000 for 2001, an increase of $496,000 or 22.1%. In addition to normal salary increases, 2002 was the first full year of operation of the Bank's Clayton branch and its 5 full time employees, which was opened in January of 2001, $114,000 was attributable to expenses related to the Company's defined benefit plan which were $179,000 for 2002 compared to $62,000 for 2001, and $60,000 was attributable to expenses related to employee health insurance which was $204,000 for 2002 compared to $146,000 for 2001. Net occupancy expenses were $409,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $44,000 or 12.1% higher than the $365,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable the Bank's Clayton branch being in operation for all of fiscal 2002, as compared to six months during fiscal 2001 as well as small increases in several occupancy related expenses during the year ended 2002. Professional fees expenses were $404,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, $181,000 or 81.2% higher than the $223,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2001. Legal fees increased $104,000, from $74,000 during 2001 to $178,000 during 2002 while audit and accounting fees increased $56,000, from $74,000 to $130,000. The increase in professional fees was primarily attributable to the formation of the Company during 2002 and the increased regulatory filing requirements. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Total income tax expense was $1,407,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) for the year ended June 30, 2002, compared to $2,421,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) during the year ended June 30, 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total consolidated assets of the Company at June 30, 2002 were $219,922,000, compared to $214,841,000 at June 30, 2001, a slight increase of $5,081,000 or 2.4%. NET LOANS grew $4.2 million or 2.1%, from $197.48 million at June 30, 2001, to $201.72 million at June 30, 2002. The following table illustrates changes in the Bank's loan portfolio by category at June 30 of each year presented. BALANCE BALANCE JUNE 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2002 2001 ($'s) (%) --------- --------- -------- ------ Residential single family mortgages $ 149,612 $ 150,711 $ (1,099) (0.7)% Other residential and commercial mortgages 27,055 23,467 3,588 15.3 --------- --------- -------- 176,667 174,178 2,489 1.4 Construction 14,660 12,817 1,843 14.4 Commercial business 5.529 5,323 206 3.9 Consumer 5,146 4,769 377 7.9 Home Improvement 5,774 6,065 (291) (4.8) Deposit and other 470 612 (142) (23.2) --------- --------- -------- 208,246 203,764 4,482 2.2 Deferred loan fees (132) (163) 31 19.0 Undisbursed portion of loans (5,516) (5,275) (241) (4.6) Allowance for loan losses (882) (843) (39) (4.6) --------- --------- -------- Total loans, net $ 201,716 $ 197,483 $ 4,233 201 --------- --------- -------- 31 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= Lower interest rates coupled with a focus on commercial real estate lending accounted for increases in the Bank's other residential and commercial mortgages, construction, commercial business and consumer loan portfolios. The Bank continues to be a strong residential lender in throughout the communities in which it operates. The Bank's residential single-family and home improvement loan portfolios remained steady from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES increased from $843,000 at June 30, 2001 to $882,000 at June 30, 2002 as a result of a provision for loan losses of $138,000 during 2002 partially offset by net charge-offs of $99,000. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its judgment regarding the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. Non-performing loans, which are loans past due 90 days or more and non-accruing loans, increased from $701,000 at June 30, 2001, to $1,290,000 at June 30, 2002. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 68.4% and 120.3% at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management believes that the problems with these loans are isolated and not indicative of the loan portfolio in total. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT increased $456,000 from $4.19 million at June 30, 2001 to $4.65 million at June 30, 2002 primarily due to equipment purchases related to the introduction of imaged bank statements for the Bank's deposit customers and, to a lesser extent, remodeling at the Bank's main office and Piqua locations. These improvements accounted for $793,000 of capital expenditures and were partially offset by depreciation of existing premises and equipment during the year. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK increased $266,000 or 5.7%, from $4.79 million at June 30, 2001, to $5.05 million at June 30, 2002. This increase was entirely the result of stock dividends received during 2002. INTEREST RECEIVABLE remained fairly stable increasing slightly from $1.03 million at June 30, 2001 to $1.06 million at June 30, 2002. Although average interest earning assets increased $4.14 million from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002, this increase was offset by a decline in the average rate earned on those assets from 8.02% for the year ended June 30, 2001 to 7.65% for the year ended June 30, 2002. DEPOSITS increased $12.03 million or 11.1%, from $108.40 million at June 30, 2001 to $120.45 at June 30, 2002. The following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits at June 30 of each year presented. BALANCE BALANCE JUNE 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2002 2001 ($'s) (%) --------- --------- -------- ------- Noninterest bearing accounts $ 7,111 $ 5,161 $ 1,950 37.8% NOW accounts 26,313 21,480 4,833 22.5 Super NOW accounts 500 244 256 104.9 Passbook accounts 20,302 16,604 3,698 22.3 Money market accounts 17,448 9,243 8,205 88.8 Certificates of deposit 48,772 55,666 (6,894) (12.4) --------- --------- -------- Total deposits $ 120,446 $ 108,398 $ 12,048 11.1% 32 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= Increases in noninterest bearing, NOW, Super NOW and passbook accounts were primarily attributable to the opening of new accounts. The majority of the new accounts were opened at the Bank's Clayton branch, which opened in January 2001, continues to attract new deposit (and loan) customers to the Bank. In addition to new accounts, a portion of the growth in passbook and money market accounts was the result of customers transferring proceeds from maturing certificates of deposit into these accounts. FHLB ADVANCES declined by $9.35 million or 11.2%, from $83.52 million at June 30,2001, to $74.17 million at June 30, 2002 as the Bank used proceeds generated from growth in deposit accounts to repay maturing advances. OTHER LIABILITIES increased by $217,000 or 17.0%, from $1.28 million at June 30, 2001, to $1.50 million at June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a $107,000 increase in the Company's deferred income tax liability (related to the receipt of FHLB stock dividends and differences in the method the Company uses to depreciate fixed assets for book and tax purposes) and a $124,000 increase in mortgage loan escrow accounts. TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY increased $2.11 million or 10.0%, from $21.00 million at June 30, 2001, to $23.11 million at June 30, 2002. The increase was the result of $2.68 million in net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2002, offset by $484,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders during the year and $87,000 related to the net change in equity related to the Company's ESOP. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 At June 30, 2001, Peoples had total assets of $214.8 million, which was an increase of 4.7% compared to $205.1 million in assets at June 30, 2000. The increase resulted from continued strong loan demand in the Miami County market, a demand which resulted in an increase in net loans of $7.6 million compared to June 30, 2000. Loans for the purchase of residential property and construction represented 56% of all originations during the year ended June 30, 2001. The Bank was also able to originate $10.3 million in adjustable-rate and balloon mortgages. Non-performing assets equaled $437,852 at June 30, 2001, or 0.20% of assets, compared with $261,600, or 0.13% of assets at June 30, 2000. Loan loss reserves at June 30, 2001 equaled 192.5% of non-performing assets. In the future, if the quality of the loan portfolio diminishes or as the level of allowances in total, or as a percentage of loans outstanding, decreases, management may deem it necessary to provide additional amounts to the allowance. Total liabilities increased by $7.6 million from June 30, 2000 to June 30,2001. Deposits decreased by $1.1 million and borrowings increased by $8.8 million. The continued strong loan demand in Miami County was funded primarily through the increase in short to intermediate maturity borrowings from the FHLB. Maturities on FHLB advances average between one and four years. Shareholders' equity increased by $2.3 million. The Bank's earnings have historically depended primarily upon the Bank's net interest income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on the Bank's interest- earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities ("interest rate spread") and (ii) the relative amounts of its interest- earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 33 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= The Bank's interest income increased by $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2001, compared to the year ended June 30, 2000. The increase was due primarily to an increase in net loans of $7.6 million during such period. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 23 basis points in for the year ended June 30, 2001 over 2000. Interest expense increased in the year ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000 by $1.5 million. The increase was due to the increase in interest expense on both deposits and borrowings. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 41 basis points while the cost of borrowing increased by 21 basis points. Net interest income increased by $279,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001, over the comparable period in 2000. The net interest rate spread decreased by 23 basis points for the year, but this was offset by a significant increase in earning assets. Management believes that the net interest margin may continue to narrow slightly in the year to end June 30, 2002 as a result of strong loan originations in lower yielding fixed rate mortgages, the increase in interest rates and the Bank's liability sensitivity. During the year ended June 3, 2001, there was no additional provision for loan losses. Management undertakes a quarterly analysis of the allowance and its determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the current quality of the loan portfolio and management's evaluation of the inherent risk. Non-interest income increased by $111,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2000. Revenues of the Trust department grew $35,000 or 4.5% for the year ended June 30, 2001. Customer service charges, and other non-interest income, increased by over $38,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Bank's non-interest expenses increased by $469,000 over the year ended June 30, 2000. The Bank had an increase in salary and employee benefits of 9.4% in 2001 over 2000. This increase was the result of normal wage increases and the addition of personnel to staff the new Clayton branch. The Bank built and opened a new full service branch in Clayton, Ohio during fiscal 2001. Management expects initial startup expenses will exceed revenues in the short-term, but will add to the long-term profitability of the Bank. Data processing expenses increased 18.3% in 2001 over 2000 as a result of upgrades in software, addition of new software modules, and an expansion of remittance processing or lock box services. Management believes that these upgrades and expansions will provide additional efficiencies and a profitable noninterest income product. Other expenses increased 9.5% in 2001 over 2000 principally as a result of outsourcing the internal audit function and legal and accounting costs in connection with the proposed formation of savings and loan holding company. The Bank's federal income tax expense increased by $10,000 during the period ended June 30, 2001, compared to the same period ended 2000. The effective tax rate was 34.5% for 2001 and 33.7% for 2000. 34 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= MANAGEMENT OF INTEREST RATE RISK The principal objective of the Company's interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company's business focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, establish asset concentration guidelines and manage the risk consistent with Board-approved guidelines. Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates and to manage the ratio of interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate sensitive liabilities within specified maturities or repricing dates. The Company's Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee consisting of management officers, which is responsible for reviewing the Company's asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Such committee generally meets on a quarterly basis, and at other times as dictated by market conditions, and reports to the Board of Directors after each such meeting. The Company's interest rate risk strategy primarily consists of: (i) emphasizing the attraction and retention of core deposits, which tend to be a more stable source of funding, (ii) emphasizing the organization of adjustable rate mortgage loan products and short-term commercial loans, the origination of which is largely dependent on the market demand for such loans; (iii) when market conditions are favorable and in consideration of the regulatory requirements relating to required levels of residential loans which must be maintained by the Bank, selling fixed-rate one-to-four-family mortgage loans; (iv) investing primarily in short-term U.S. Government securities and mortgage-backed securities; and (v) using FHLB advances as a funding source when rates on FHLB advances compare favorably to local competitive deposit rates. As a traditional thrift lender, the Company has a significant amount of its earning assets invested in fixed-rate mortgages with contractual maturities greater than one year. At December 31, 2001, an aggregate of $76.96 million, or 45.7% of total assets, were invested in such assets. The following table sets forth the repricing dates of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2002 for the periods indicated. The assumptions used to prepare this table are the latest available by the OTS in assessing the interest rate sensitivity of thrift institutions. Change in Net Portfolio Change in Interest Rate Value - Dollars Change in Net Portfoli0 (Basis Points) (000's) Value - Percent ------------ ------- --------------- +300 $(11,846) (37)% +200 (6,636) (20) +100 (3,260) (10) 0 - - -100 668 2 -200(1) 0 0 -300(1) 0 0 (1) Due to the abnormally low prevailing interest rate environment, the OTS no longer computes net portfolio value estimates for changes in interest rates of +400 basis points, and -100, -300, -200 basis points. 35 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY AND THE BANK Recent legislation repealed the Office of Thrift Supervision's (OTS) minimum liquidity ratio requirement for the Bank. Regulations now require the Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Bank's regulatory liquidity was 5.58% and 5.25% at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The primary source of funding for the Company is dividend payments from the Bank. Dividend payments by the Bank have been used solely by the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders. The Bank's liquidity is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The primary investment activity of the Bank is the origination of mortgage loans and to a lesser extent commercial and consumer loans. The primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, mortgage-backed securities, and investments. While scheduled payments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank utilizes FHLB borrowings to leverage its capital base and provide funds for lending and to better manage its interest rate risk. The sole investment of the Company is its investment in the Bank's stock. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $5,516,000, unused lines of credit of $2,630,000 and standby letters of credit of $383,000. As of June 30, 2002, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $37,236,000. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank. Management anticipates that the Bank will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits, borrowings, and normal operations to meet its commitments. The Bank is required by OTS regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Bank's compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible and tier 1 capital both at $23,836,000 or 10.8% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $ 24,717,000 or 16.4% of risk-weighted assets. The required minimum ratios 1.5% for tangible capital to adjusted total assets, 4.0% for tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets and 8.0% for risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets. See "Regulatory Matters" in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the Bank's capital calculations as of June 30, 2002 and 2001. 36 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of cash and cash equivalents is dependent on the Bank's operating, financing lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2002, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,681,000. The Company's and Bank's future short - -term requirements for cash are not expected to significantly change. However, in the event that the Bank should require funds in excess of its ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available, including additional FHLB advances. With no parent company debt and sound capital levels, the Company should have many options available for satisfying its longer-term cash needs such as borrowing funds, raising equity capital and issuing trust preferred securities. Management is not aware of any current recommendations or government proposals which, if implemented would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as Peoples are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of the Bank's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans made by the Bank. The Bank is unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing the Bank's loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation. IMPACT OF CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES In October 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was issued. Under SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets to be sold within one year must be separately identified and carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Long-lived assets expected to be held longer than one year are subject to depreciation must be written down to fair value upon impairment. Long-lived assets no longer expected to be sold within one year, such as some foreclosed real estate, must be written down to the lower of current fair value or fair value at the date of foreclosure adjusted to reflect depreciation since acquisition. SFAS no. 144 was required to be implemented in January 2002 and had no impact on the Company. 37 [LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ========================================================================= MARKET AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION As of June 30, 2002, Peoples had approximately 700 holders of record of its common stock.
