STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the results of operations and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. All adjustments to the financial statements were normal and recurring in nature. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and the Bank. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. General Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation(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 ended June 30, 2002 to provide various benefits 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 is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from Miami and northern Montgomery counties and originating mortgage loans throughout those same areas. All references to the Company include the Bank unless otherwise indicated. Forward Looking Statements In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q 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 under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company and the Bank." 5 FINANCIAL CONDITION Total consolidated assets of the Company at September 30, 2002 were $224,409,000 compared to $219,922,000 at June 30, 2002, an increase of $4,487,000 or 2.0%. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS increased $10.7 million, from $5.7 million at June 30, 2002 to $16.4 million at September 30, 2002. This increase was the result of funds provided as maturities and repayments of loans exceeding new loan originations by $6.3 million, and growth in customer deposits of $4.0 million. Management uses its uses its short -term "cash accounts" to hold funds generated from these regular banking activities as it evaluates investment (loan) alternatives. NET LOANS declined $6.3 million or 3.1%, from $201.716 million at June 30, 2002, to $195.455 million at September 30, 2002. The following table illustrates changes in the Bank's loan portfolio by category for each period presented. BALANCE BALANCE SEPTEMBER 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2002 2002 ($'S) (%) ----- ----- ----- ------ Residential single-family mortgages $ 142,932 $ 149,612 $ (6,680) (4.5)% Other residential and commercial mortgages 28,276 27,055 1,221 4.5 --------- --------- --------- Total mortgage loans 171,208 176,667 (5,459) (3.1) Construction 10,129 14,660 (4,531) (3.1) Commercial business 5,725 5,529 196 3.5 Consumer 6,190 5,146 1,044 20.3 Home improvement 5,723 5,774 (51) (0.9) Deposit and other 464 470 (6) (1.3) --------- --------- --------- Gross loans 199,439 208,246 (8,807) (4.2) Deferred loan fees (135) (132) (3) Undisbursed portion of loans (2,946) (5,516) 2,570 Allowance for loan losses (903) (882) (21) --------- --------- --------- Total loans, net $ 195,455 $ 201,716 $ (6,261) 3.1% ========= ========= ========= While the Bank continues to be a strong residential lender throughout the communities in which it operates, management has been reluctant to portfolio long-term fixed rate mortgages during this period of historically low interest rates. As a result, the Bank has seen some decline in its residential single-family mortgage loan portfolio. Management continues to focus on shorter-term commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending during the quarter as evidenced by slight increases in these loan types during the quarter. THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES increased from $882,000 at June 30, 2002 to $903,000 at September 30, 2002 as a result of a provision for loan losses of $45,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 partially offset by net charge-offs of $24,000. 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, decreased from $1,290,000 at June 30, 2002, to $1,255,000 at September 30, 2002. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 72.0% and 68.4% at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Management believes that the problems with these loans are isolated and not indicative of the loan portfolio in total. 6 DEPOSITS increased $4.04 million or 3.4%, from $120.45 at June 30, 2002 to $124.49 at September 30, 2002. The following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits for each period presented. BALANCE BALANCE SEPTEMBER 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2002 2002 ($'S) (%) ---- ---- ----- --- Noninterest bearing accounts $ 8,506 $ 7,111 $ 1,395 19.6% NOW accounts 27,211 26,313 898 3.4 Super NOW accounts 533 500 33 6.6 Passbook accounts 21,993 20,302 1,691 8.3 Money market accounts 19,852 17,448 2,404 13.8 Certificates of deposit 46,391 48,772 (2,381) (4.9) -------- -------- -------- Total deposits $124,486 $120,446 $ 4,040 3.4% ======== ======== ======== Increases in noninterest bearing, NOW, Super NOW and passbook accounts were primarily attributable to the opening of new accounts. 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. TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY increased $457,000 or 2.0%, from $23.11 million at June 30, 2002, to $23.56 million at September 30, 2002. The increase was the result of $707,000 in net earnings and $180,000 related to the exercise of stock options during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, offset by $341,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders, $36,000 related to the repurchase of stock and $52,000 related to the net change in equity related to the Company's ESOP during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 The Company reported earnings of $707,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $78,000, or 12.4%, above the $629,000 reported for the same period in 2001. Basic earnings per share increased $0.01 or 12.5% from $0.08 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.09 or 12.5% from $0.08 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The Company's return on average assets was 1.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 1.17% for the same period in 2001 while return on average equity was 11.51% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 11.49% for the same period 2001. Earnings were higher in 2002 as a result of an increase in net interest income of $257,000, or 13.3%, from $1,938,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $2,195,000 for three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $92,000 or 6.8%, from $1,360,000 reported for three months ended September 30, 2001 to $1,452,000 three months ended September, 2002. NET INTEREST INCOME was $2,195,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, $257,000, or 13.3%, higher than the $1,938,000 reported for three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to a $424,000, or 20.1% decline in interest expense that was partially offset by a $165,000 decline in interest income earned during the three months ended September 30, 2002. These declines were the result of the continuing low interest rate environment resulting from actions taken by the the Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed). Note, the Fed's "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 September 30, 2002. The interest rates the Bank charges its borrowers and pays its depositors are significantly influenced by these rates. Interest income was $3,878,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $165,000 or 4.1%, from $4,043,000 for the three months ended September 30 2001, as interest income earned on all categories of earning assets declined in comparison to same period in the previous year. Interest income earned on loans was $3,784,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, $145,000 or 3.7% less than the $3,929,000 earned the three months ended September 30, 2001. 7 While, as previously mentioned, average loans outstanding declined from the three months ended September 30, 2001 to September 30, 2002, the primary reason for the decline in interest income related to loans was a result of a lower average yield earned on the Bank's loan portfolio as borrowers continue to refinance taking advantage of lower interest rates. Interest expense was $1,682,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $424,000 or 20.1%, $2,106,000 for the three months ended September 30 2001, as interest expense paid on certificates of deposit and FHLB advances declined significantly in comparison to the same period in the previous year. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was $332,000, $316,000 or 48.8% lower than the $648,000 recorded in three months ended September 30, 2001. The average balance of certificates of deposit declined by $9,095,000, from $48,066,000 for the three months ended September 2001, to $38,917,000 for three months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, the average rate paid on those certificates of deposit decreased by 199 basis points, from 5.39% during the three months ended September 30 2001, to 3.40% during the three months ended September 30 2002. Interest expense on FHLB advances was $969,000, $174,000 or 15.2% lower than the $1,143,000 recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2001. The average balance of FHLB advances declined by $7,856,000, from $83,299,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $75,433,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, the average rate paid on those FHLB advances decreased by 35 basis points, from 5.49% during the three months ended September 30 2001, to 5.14% during the same period in 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 $17,063,000, from $35,512,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $52,575,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, while the average balance of the Company's savings accounts increased $4,000,000 during the same period in 2001. THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $45,000 for three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $2,000 for the same period in 2001. The provision for both periods reflects management's analysis of the Bank'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 three months ended September 2002 were $26,000 compared to $5,000 during the same period in 2001. While 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 EXPENSE was $1,452,000 for three months ended September 30, 2002, $92,000 or 6.8% higher than the $1,360,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits which increased $74,000 or 11.7% due to regular salary increases and the hiring of a new senior lender and chief financial officer in July 2002. TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $372,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $331,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) during the three months ended September 30, 2001. 8 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 13.70% and 3.84% at September 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 September 30, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $2,946,000, unused lines of credit of $4,744,000 and standby letters of credit of $383,000. As of September 30, 2002, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $18,347,000. 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. At June 30, 2002, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible and tier 1 capital both at $2,543,000 or 10.91% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $ 25,446,000 or 17.23% 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. 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 September 30, 2002, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $16,391,000. 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. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There has been no significant change in the Company's market risk since June 30, 2002, except as discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation. 9 PART II.
