(Unaudited)
(1) Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Croghan
Bancshares, Inc. ("the Corporation") without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position,
results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

accounting principles have been omitted. The results of operations for
the period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Where appropriate, the following discussion relating to Croghan Bancshares, Inc.
("Croghan" or "the Corporation") contains the insights of management into known
events and trends that have or may be expected to have a material effect on
Croghan's operations and financial condition. The information presented may also
contain certain forward-looking statements regarding future financial
performance, which are not historical facts and which involve various risks and
uncertainties.
When or if used in any Securities and Exchange Commission filings, or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases: "anticipate",
"would be", "will allow", "intends to", "will likely result", "are expected to",
"will continue", "is anticipated", "is estimated", "is projected", or similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that include but are not
limited to: changes in economic conditions in the Corporation's market area,
changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates,
demand for loans in the Corporation's market area, and competition. All or some
of these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical
earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.
The Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises
readers that various factors including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in the levels of market interest rates, credit
and other risks associated with lending and investing activities, and
competitive and regulatory factors could affect the Corporation's financial
performance and cause the actual results for future periods to differ materially
from those anticipated or projected. The Corporation does not undertake, and
specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements
to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
of such statements.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Assets totaled $390,745,000 at June 30, 2003 compared to $387,330,000 at 2002
year end. The securities category experienced the most substantial increase,
totaling $75,598,000 at June 30, 2003 compared to $71,437,000 at year end. Total
loans increased to $288,773,000 from $287,951,000 at year end and total deposits
increased to $310,542,000 from $302,888,000 at year end.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $1,430,000 or $.75 per common
share compared to $1,241,000 or $.65 per common share for the same period in
2002. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was $2,751,000 or
$1.45 per common share compared to $2,472,000 or $1.29 per common share for the
same period in 2002. Operating results in 2003 remain positively impacted by an
increase in non-interest income, which includes gains from the sale of
securities, and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.
DEPOSITS, LOANS, SECURITIES, AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Total deposits at June 30, 2003 increased $7,654,000 or 2.5 percent from 2002
year end. The liquid deposit category (demand, savings, NOW and money market
deposit accounts) increased $8,452,000 or 5.1 percent and the time deposit
category decreased $798,000 or 0.6 percent. Even though there is active
competition for core deposits from traditional sources (e.g., other banks and
credit unions) and non-traditional sources (e.g., brokerage firms), Croghan
continues to benefit from the apparent consumer preference for the safety of
FDIC-insured bank deposit products.
8
Total loans increased $822,000 or 0.3 percent from 2002 year end. Loan
categories experiencing growth from 2002 year end include a $3,606,000 increase
in construction real estate loans and a $2,331,000 increase in nonresidential
real estate loans. Loan categories experiencing contraction from 2002 year end
include a $2,198,000 decline in residential real estate loans, a $1,653,000
decline in consumer loans, a $958,000 decline in commercial loans, and a
$306,000 decline in credit card loans. Although the national and local economic
climates remain tenuous, loan volume was much improved during the second quarter
of 2003 as compared with the first quarter of 2003.
Total securities increased by $4,161,000 or 5.8 percent from 2002 year end.
Given the relatively soft loan demand coupled with an increase in deposits,
available funds have been deployed into the securities portfolio.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2003 increased to $44,944,000 or $23.66 book
value per common share compared to $43,462,000 or $22.86 book value per common
share at December 31, 2002. The balance in stockholders' equity at June 30, 2003
included accumulated other comprehensive income consisting of net unrealized
gains on securities classified as available-for-sale. At June 30, 2003, Croghan
held $70,691,000 in available-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain of
$830,000, net of income taxes. This compares to 2002 year-end holdings of
$65,556,000 in available-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain of
$1,027,000, net of income taxes.
Beginning in February, 2002, Croghan instituted a stock buy-back program, which
has subsequently been extended through August 1, 2003. Since the inception of
the program, a total of 16,900 shares have been repurchased as treasury shares.
The 14,835 treasury shares held as of June 30, 2003 and 13,207 shares held as of
December 31, 2002 are reported at their acquired cost. Consistent with the
Corporation's quarterly dividend policy, a cash dividend of $.27 per share was
declared on June 10, 2003 payable on July 31, 2003.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, which represents the excess revenue generated from
interest-earning assets over the interest cost of funding those assets,
decreased $9,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period
in 2002, and decreased $54,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 as
compared to the same period in 2002. The net interest yield (net interest income
divided by average interest-earning assets) was 4.26 percent for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003 compared to 4.49 percent for the quarter ended June 30,
2002, and was 4.34 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared
to 4.62 percent for the same period in 2002. Continued downward pressure on net
interest yield is anticipated throughout the remainder of 2003.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

loan losses for the periods noted:

=========== ===========
Allowance for loan losses $ 3,563 $ 3,689
Allowance for loan losses as a percent

The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2003 totaled $210,000
compared to $400,000 for the same period in 2002. Actual net loan charge offs
were $336,000 for the first six months of 2003 compared to $196,000 during the
same period in 2002. The lower provision in 2003 reflects a more stable trend in
the loan portfolio coupled with an improving outlook for the local and national
economies.
Total potential problem or non-performing loans amounted to $12,382,000 at June
30, 2003 compared to $11,417,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $965,000
or 8.5 percent. The various components of potential problem and non-performing
loans are summarized in the preceding table. Nonaccrual loans include one
nonresidential real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $794,000 at June
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Potential problem loans include one
nonresidential real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $3,153,000 at
June 30, 2003 and $3,221,000 at December 31, 2002. Both loans appear to be
adequately collateralized by commercial real estate based upon the latest
appraised values on file. Additionally, the potential problem loan is not
currently past due and, since origination, has never been more than 10 days past
due. All of the above-noted asset quality trends will continue to be monitored
throughout 2003 to ensure adequate provisions for loan losses are made in a
timely manner.
It is the Corporation's policy to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a
level sufficient to provide for reasonably foreseeable losses and a loan review
process is conducted by an outside consulting firm to help achieve this
objective. To further strengthen the loan review function, Croghan added a
credit analyst to its staff in December, 2002. This additional staff member
supplements the loan review process and aids in the early identification of
problem loans. One primary objective of Croghan's loan policy, loan review
process, and credit analyst staff position is to readily identify problem loans
and to initiate measures for resolution. Management considers the allowance at
June 30, 2003 to be adequate to provide for losses identified as well as
inherent in the loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income increased $206,000 or 33.6 percent for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003
10
compared to the same period in 2002, and increased $261,000 or 21.9 percent for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.
The most significant factor contributing to the increase were gains on the sale
of securities of $165,000 for the quarterly and six-month periods ended June 30,
2003 compared with no such gains reported in 2002. The gains were realized upon
the sale of U.S. Government Agency securities with approximately two years
remaining until their stated final maturity. Alternative U.S. Government Agency
securities maturing over slightly a longer time horizon (i.e., three to five
years) were purchased to replace those securities that were sold.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $19,000 between comparable
quarterly periods and $77,000 between comparable six-month periods. Much of the
year-to-date increase in 2003 can be attributed to fee adjustments for overdraft
and non-sufficient charges that became effective on April 1, 2002.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Total non-interest expenses decreased $11,000 or 0.4 percent for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and increased $2,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in
2002. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $30,000 between comparable
quarterly periods and $37,000 between comparable six-month periods.
Occupancy expense of premises increased $7,000 between comparable quarterly
periods and $35,000 between comparable six-month periods. Much of the
year-to-date increase in 2003 can be attributed to the harsh 2003 winter, which
resulted in additional expenses for utilities and snow removal. Other operating
expenses decreased $48,000 between comparable quarterly periods and $70,000
between comparable six-month periods.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Federal income tax expense increased $84,000 or 14.9 percent between comparable
quarterly periods and $116,000 or 10.3 percent between comparable six-month
periods. These increases in both periods result from the improvement in
Croghan's income before federal income taxes. The Corporation's effective tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 31.1 percent and remained
comparable to the 31.3 percent for the same period in 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
An average federal funds sold position of $7,218,000 was maintained for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2003. This compares to $5,916,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002 and $7,359,000 for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2002.
Short-term borrowings of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements
averaged $8,388,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. This compares
