Item 5.         Other Events.

                The following was contained in a press release issued by Peoples
Ohio Financial Corporation on April 28, 2003:

                       PEOPLES OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                               FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
                            THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2003

Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for
Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported earnings of $1,996,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2003, a decline of $22,000, or 1.1%, from the $2,018,000
reported for the same period in 2002. Basic earnings per share were $0.26 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $0.27 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2002. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $0.26 the nine months ended March 31,
2002.

Net interest income was $6,355,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003,
$201,000, or 3.3%, higher than the $6,154,000 reported for the nine months ended
March 31, 2002. Although interest income declined due to lower average loans
outstanding coupled with lower interest rates, interest expense declined to a
greater extent primarily due to depositors shifting their accounts from higher
rate certificates of deposit to lower rate demand deposit accounts. Management
continued to reposition its balance sheet in preparation for higher interest
rates.

The provision for loan losses was $110,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
2003 compared to $26,000 for the same period in 2002. This increase is the
result of management's continuing analysis of asset quality.

Noninterest income remained stable totaling $1,198,000 for the first nine months
of 2003, compared to the $1,169,000 recorded for the nine months ended March 31,
2002, as increases in service charges on deposit accounts of $92,000 were
partially off-set by a decline in revenue generated from trust operations of
$73,000.

Noninterest expense was $4,395,000 for the first nine months of 2003, $178,000
or 4.2% higher than the $4,217,000 reported for the nine months ended March 31,
2002. Noninterest expense categories that have experienced an increase during
2003 include salaries and employee benefits, data processing fees and State of
Ohio franchise taxes.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was $647,000, $82,000 or 11.2%
less than quarterly net income of $729,000 earned in the third quarter of fiscal
2002. Net interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was $2,052,000
compared to $2,132,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The provision for
loan losses was $30,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $18,000
for the same period in fiscal 2002. Noninterest income was $408,000 for the
third quarter of fiscal 2003 and $387,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
Noninterest expense was $1,443,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and
$1,388,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

Total assets at March 31, 2003 were $218.3 million, compared to $219.9 million
at March 31, 2002.

The Company was formed during January, 2003 and acquired 100% of the Bank's
outstanding stock. Accordingly, all references to the Company, prior to January,
2003, reflect operations of the Bank.
