EXHIBIT 13 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] Dear Shareholders: We are proud to report the results of the 2003 fiscal year to you. Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (OTC: POHF) was able to achieve continued strong earnings while carefully repositioning the balance sheet of the bank for success in the future. It is a significant accomplishment that the 2003 fiscal year was the second most profitable year in Peoples' 113-year history ... second only to the last year's (2002) record earnings. The corporation and the bank performed extremely well... particularly given the challenges of the struggling general economy, record low interest rate levels, continued product growth and innovation, and intense competition from other financial services companies. [EARNINGS HISTORY CHART] Total earnings for the 2003 fiscal year were $2,545,000 or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to fiscal 2002 earnings of $2,675,000 or $0.35 per diluted share. Return on equity (ROE) remained strong at 10.07% for fiscal year 2003 compared to 11.8% in fiscal year 2002. Continued low interest rate environment and the pressure it has put on net interest margins throughout the banking industry impacted Peoples as well. Net interest income was $8,054,000 for the year ended June 30,2003 as compared to $8,367,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002. Noninterest income, which continues to be a focus, increased $132,000, or 8.5%, to $1,693,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts were partially offset by a decline in revenue generated from trust operations. As a top priority, our team worked diligently to restructure the balance sheet this year. The goal of the corporation and bank was to position the balance sheet in a manner that would allow us to continue to produce sustainable earnings for the shareholders without sacrificing service to our customers and the communities we serve. Strong earnings were maintained while taking advantage of low interest rate environment to become less dependent on long-term fixed rate mortgages as a source of interest income in 2003. In order to successfully accomplish important reorganization in the loan area, several experienced, capable loan professionals were recruited for the Peoples team. These individuals bring a high level of expertise in consumer, mortgage, and commercial lending which is critical for future success. In addition, banking center managers have been trained to provide lending services at their individual centers, and thus broadening Peoples loan service capabilities. In vital support of these services, the technology infrastructure in which Peoples has been investing over the past several years now enables a seamless, high-level loan processing capability. Not only does the technology support impact the lending area, but also those non-interest income areas such as remittance processing and overdraft privilege both of which generate substantial fee income. Check imaging, based on technology introduced last year, also continues to offer customers [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] a more streamlined statement with images of checks. In addition, Peoples introduced transactional Online Banking this fiscal year which allows customers to view their account, transfer balances, make loan payments and pay bills anywhere they have Internet access. [DIVIDENDS/SHARE CHART] With a goal of solid sustained earnings for our shareholders while still meeting customer expectations, Peoples also focused in 2003 fiscal year on strategies to incrementally increase dividends for shareholders and to execute a stock buyback process. In keeping with a continued progression of increases, the dividends approved and issued for 2003 fiscal year represented an almost 40% increase over the previous year. Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation stock was recently recognized as one of the Dayton area's top performing stocks by a local business publication as a result of an increase of 25% in 2003 fiscal year to $4.20 per share price at June 30, 2003. In summary, this has been a year of continued strength in earnings and of positioning the corporation and bank for the future. Significant progress has been made in adding important customer products/services while increasing shareholder value. Our current management and staff is probably one of the most experienced and capable we've ever been able to assemble in the history of the bank. We believe all of these factors contribute to remaining profitable and competitive as a financial services organization. However, success for an independent, local, community business like Peoples also means remaining true to the basic values with which the organization was founded. We believe that Peoples has consistently done so. We have become an integral, contributing part of every community we serve. By being willing to donate money, to give countless hours of volunteer service, and to create programs which significantly impact quality of life,. Peoples has demonstrated again and again what is important. Customers want to do business with us because we are hospitable and accessible as well as profitable. Shareholders want to invest because of our personal concern and desire to be responsive as well as our financial performance. Peoples will continue to have success by remaining focused on our local community-based values while constantly reinventing ourselves to meet customer needs and shareholder expectations. /s/ Ronald B.

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 June 30, 2003 and 2002, cash equivalents consisted of interest-bearing demand deposits. 9 [PEOPLES OHIO 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 payoffs 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. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status at 90 days past due and interest is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. 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. 10 [PEOPLES OHIO 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 30 years for buildings and 3 to 5 years for equipment. 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. TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined based on the average cost of all shares. STOCK OPTIONS At June 30, 2003, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 13. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock- based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 3: REORGANIZATION On June 25, 2001, the Bank's Board of Directors authorized the formation of a holding company for the Bank in a transaction in which each of the outstanding shares of stock of the Bank would be exchanged for one share of stock of the holding company. 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 31, 2002. The reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

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. 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, 2003 and 2002, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of June 30, 2003, 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, 2003 Total Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $24,715 17.6% $11,213 8.0% $14,016 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) 23,853 17.0% 5,606 4.0% 8,410 6.0% Core Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 23,853 11.6% 8,250 4.0% 10,313 5.0% Tangible Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets) 23,853 11.6% 3,094 1.5% 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% 18 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) 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, 2003, total regulatory capital of the Bank was $23,853,000, of which approximately $5,724,000 was potentially available for distribution to the Company. NOTE 12: 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 $49,749 for 2003, $40,079 for 2002 and $39,357 for 2001. 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 Company records compensation expense equal to the cash contributions to the Plan. Dividends on ESOP shares (all allocated) are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. The cash contributions to the plan in 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $51,000, $40,000 and $40,000, 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 150,066 and 139,916 at June 30, 2003 and 2002. Under certain circumstances, the ESOP may be obligated to repurchase allocated ESOP shares. The Company is obligated at the option of each beneficiary to repurchase ESOP shares upon the beneficiary's termination or after retirement. All ESOP shares are included as outstanding in the calculation of earnings per share information. Below are the transactions affecting the ESOP equity accounts: COMMON RETAINED STOCK EARNINGS TOTAL --------------------------- Balances, July 1, 2000 $ 136 $ 424 $ 560 Net change in equity from ESOP shares (9) (170) (179) ----- ----- ----- Balances, June 30, 2001 127 254 381 Net change in equity from ESOP shares 13 75 88 ----- ----- ----- Balances, June 30, 2002 140 329 469 Net change in equity from ESOP shares 10 151 161 ----- ----- ----- Balances, June 30, 2003 $ 150 $ 480 $ 630 ===== ===== ===== 20 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 13: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Bank has entered into transactions with certain directors, executive officers, significant stockholders and their affiliates or associates (related parties). 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, 2002 $ 2,844 Changes in composition of related parties 501 New loans, including renewals 137 Payments, etc., including renewals (143) ------- Balances, June 30, 2003 $ 3,339 ======= NOTE 14: 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 exercisable ratably over three years (prior to 2003, options granted were 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 2003, the Bank granted options for 44,500 shares of the Company's common stock. The exercise price of each option, which has a ten-year life, was equal to the market price of the Company'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: 2003 2002 2001 ----------------------------------- Risk-free interest rates 5.0% 5.2% 5.7 to 5.8% Dividend yields 2.20% .88 to 1.99% .88% Volatility factors of expected market price of common stock 25% 29% to 37% 35% Weighted-average expected life of the options 10 years 10 years 10 years 21 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) The following is a summary of the status of the Bank's stock option plans and changes in those plans as of and for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

NOTE 16: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table presents estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments. 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. 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 17: 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. 26 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Bank had outstanding fixed-rate commitments to originate loans aggregating approximately $0 and $5,516,000, 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 $296,000 and $383,000, at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, with terms ranging from 4 months to 2 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, 2003, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $2,114,000 and $7,843,000 for commercial lines and open-end consumers lines, respectively. At June 30, 2002, unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregated approximately $2,630,000 for commercial lines and $8,451,000 for open-end consumer lines. 27 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 18: CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) Presented below is condensed financial information as to financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company: CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS 2003 2002 ---------------- ASSETS Cash $ 41 $ -- Loans 1,011 -- Investment in common stock of Bank subsidiary 23,909 23,835 Other assets 20 $ -- ------- ------- Total assets $24,981 $23,835 ======= ======= LIABILITIES -- advance from Bank subsidiary $ -- $ 260 EQUITY FROM ESOP SHARES 630 469 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 24,351 23,106 ------- ------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $24,981 $23,835 ======= ======= CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME 2003 2002 2001 ----------------------- INCOME Dividends from Bank subsidiary $2,543 $ 483 $ -- EXPENSES -- other 21 -- -- ------ ------ ------ INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX AND EQUITY IN UNDISTRIBUTED INCOME OF SUBSIDIARY 2,522 483 -- INCOME TAX BENEFIT (7) -- -- ------ ------ ------ INCOME BEFORE EQUITY IN UNDISTRIBUTED INCOME OF SUBSIDIARY 2,529 483 -- EQUITY IN UNDISTRIBUTED INCOME OF SUBSIDIARY 16 2,192 2,421 ------ ------ ------ NET INCOME $2,545 $2,675 $2,421 ====== ====== ====== 28 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS 2003 2002 2001 --------------------------- OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net income $ 2,545 $ 2,675 $ 2,421 Items not requiring (providing) cash (24) (2,675) (2,421) ------- ------- ------- Net cash provided by (used in) by operating activities 2,521 -- -- ------- ------- ------- INVESTING ACTIVITIES--NET CHANGE IN LOANS (1,011) -- -- ------- ------- ------- FINANCING ACTIVITIES Advances from Bank subsidiary 2,283 483 -- Repayment of advances from Bank subsidiary (2,543) -- -- Purchase of stock (777) -- -- Proceeds from exercise of stock options 248 -- -- Cash dividends (680) (483) -- ------- ------- ------- Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (1,469) -- -- ------- ------- ------- NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 41 -- -- CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AT BEGINNING OF YEAR -- -- -- ------- ------- ------- CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AT END OF YEAR $ 41 $ 0 $ 0 ======= ======= ======= 29 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 19: SELECTED QUARTERLY DATA (UNAUDITED) The following tables summarize selected quarterly results of operations for 2003 and 2002.

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. 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 Item 1, "Business" of the Company's 2003 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. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed within the thrift industry. The application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Of these significant policies, management believes the allowance for loan losses policy is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. 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. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provision for loan losses. Refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses set forth below and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of management's estimation process and methodology relating to the allowance for loan losses. 31 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 The Company reported earnings of $2,545,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, a decline of $130,000, or 4.9% from the $2,675,000 reported for the same period in 2002. Basic earnings per share decreased $0.02, or 5.6% from $0.36 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $0.34 for the year ended June 30, 2003. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.02, or 5.7% from $0.35 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $0.33 for the year ended June 2003. The Company's return on average assets was 1.16% for 2003 compared to 1.23% for 2002 and the return on average equity was 10.07% for 2003, compared to 11.84% for 2002. The decline in earnings during 2003 was a result of a decline in net interest income of $313,000, or 3.7% from $8,367,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $8,054,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. This increase was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $132,000 or 8.5%, from $1,561,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $1,693,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. NET INTEREST INCOME was $8,054,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $313,000, or 3.7% lower than the $8,367,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002. This decline was the result of the continued low interest rate environment and the pressure it has placed on net interest margins throughout the banking industry. Total interest income was $13,953,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, a decline of $1,965,000, or 12.3% from the $15,918,000 reported during the year ended June 30, 2002, due to lower average loans outstanding coupled with lower interest rates. The decline in interest income was partially offset by a $1,651,000, or 21.9% decline in interest expense during the same period, primarily due to depositors shifting their deposits from higher rate certificates of deposit to lower rate demand deposit and savings accounts. Interest income was $13,953,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,965,000, or 12.3% from $15,918,000 for the year ended June 30 2002. As illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, this decline was entirely attributable to a decline in interest income earned on loans. Interest income earned on loans was $13,397,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $2,151,000, or 13.8% less than the $15,548,000 earned for the year ended June 30, 2002. With long-term interest rates at or near record low levels throughout the year, management chose to curtail the Bank's mortgage originations rather than expose the Bank to what it believed to be unacceptable levels of interest rate risk. As a result, average loans outstanding during the year decreased $17,286,000, or 8.6% from $200,649,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $183,363,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The average yield earned on those loans declined 44 basis points from 7.75% for the year ended June 30, 2002 to 7.31% for the year ended June 30, 2003. This decline in yield was attributable to the local market's reaction to the Federal Reserve Bank's (the Fed) reductions in short-term interest rates throughout fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 and their effect on interest rates in general. Note, the interest rates the Company charges its borrowers and pays its depositors are significantly influenced by these rates. The decline in interest income earned on loans was partially offset by increases in interest income on investment securities and other interest and dividend income as management invested a portion of the proceeds from loan repayments in short-term investments and interest bearing accounts at other financial institutions. Accordingly, interest income on investment securities increased $120,000, from $87,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $207,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. In addition, other interest and dividend income increased $67,000, from $283,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $350,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. 32 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Interest expense was $5,900,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,651,000, or 21.9% from $7,551,000 for the year ended June 30 2002, as interest expense paid on certificates of deposit, savings accounts and FHLB advances declined significantly in comparison to the previous year. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was $1,364,000, $1,052,000, or 43.5% lower than the $2,416,000 recorded in the year ended June 30, 2002. As illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, the average balance of certificates of deposit declined by $16,176,000, from $53,687,000 for the year ending June 30, 2002 to $37,511,000 for the year ending June 30, 2003. In addition, the average rate paid on those certificates of deposit decreased by 86 basis points, from 4.50% during 2002 to 3.64% during 2003. Interest expense on savings accounts was $268,000, $115,000 or 30.0% lower than the $383,000 recorded in the year ended June 30, 2002. As illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, the average balance of savings accounts increased by $10,056,000, from $18,219,000 for the year ending June 30, 2002 to $28,275,000 for the year ending June 30, 2003. This increase was more than offset by a decline in the interest rate paid on those accounts, the average rate paid on savings accounts decreased by 115 basis points, from 2.10% during 2002 to 0.95% during 2003. Interest expense on FHLB advances was $3,673,000, $533,000 or 12.7% lower than the $4,206,000 recorded in the year ended June 30, 2002. Also illustrated in the accompanying average balance sheet, the average balance of FHLB advances declined by $7,199,000, from $79,088,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $71,889,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. In addition, the average rate paid on those FHLB advances decreased by 21 basis points, from 5.32% during 2002 to 5.11% during 2003. These declines were somewhat offset by a slight increase in interest expense on the Company's demand deposit accounts as depositors chose to invest proceeds from maturing certificates into short-term accounts. Accordingly, the average balance of the Company's interest-bearing NOW and money market accounts increased $13,304,000, from $35,117,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, to $48,421,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 33 [PEOPLES OHIO 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.

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 2003 were $189,000 compared to $111,000 during 2002. The charge-offs recorded in both periods related to several loans. While the Company's management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based upon 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 $1,693,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $132,000, or 8.5%, higher than the $1,561,000 recorded for the year ended June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to fees related to services provided to deposit customers which increased $190,000, from $612,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $802,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 which was largely attributable to the migration from certificates of deposit to demand deposit accounts previously mentioned and an increase in other noninterest income of $36,000, from $188,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $224,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, which was largely attributable to fees earned from transactions initiated by non-deposit customers at the Bank's ATM's. These increases were partially offset by a decline in revenue generated by the Bank's trust department of $88,000 from $761,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $673,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The reduction in trust department revenue was the result of a decline in "average assets under management" related to the downturn in the financial markets. 35 [PEOPLE OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS NONINTEREST EXPENSE remained fairly stable at $5,723,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $16,000 or 0.3% higher than the $5,707,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002, as increased data processing fees and other expenses were offset by a decline in professional fees. Data processing expense totaled $533,000 for 2003 and $413,000 for 2002, an increase of $120,000 or 29.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to $25,000 increase in computer maintenance expense, a $30,000 increase in software expense and a $58,000 increase in depreciation. Professional fees expenses were $183,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $221,000 or 54.7% less than the $404,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002. Legal fees decreased $126,000 from $178,000 during 2002 to $52,000 during 2003 while audit and accounting fees decreased $43,000, from $130,000 to $87,000. The decline in professional fees was primarily attributable to expenses incurred during the formation of the Company during fiscal 2002 and the ongoing regulatory reporting subsequent to its formation coupled with the Company assuming much of the responsibility for its regulatory filings rather than outsourcing it to its professional advisors during fiscal 2003. Other expenses remained fairly stable at $1,414,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, $54,000 or 4.0% greater than the $1,360,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2002. While this increase was attributable to small increases in several miscellaneous expense categories, increases in employee education, State of Ohio examination fees, organization dues and credit card and merchant related processing fees contributed to the majority of the increase during 2003. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Total income tax expense was $1,339,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) for the year ended June 30, 2003, compared to $1,407,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) during the year ended June 30, 2002. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total consolidated assets of the Company at June 30, 2003 were $207,349,000, compared to $219,922,000 at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $12,573,000 or 5.7%. NET LOANS declined $41.1 million or 20.4%, from $201.72 million at June 30, 2002, to $160.61 million at June 30, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in the Bank's loan portfolio by category at June 30 of each year presented. BALANCE JUNE 30, BALANCE JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2003 2002 ($'S) (%) ---- ---- ----- --- Residential single family mortgages $ 115,175 $ 149,612 $ (34,437) (23.0)% Other residential and commercial mortgages 25,021 27,055 (2,034) (7.5) ----------- --------- ---------- ----- 140,196 176,667 (36,471) (20.6) Construction 12,802 14,660 (1,858) (12.7) Commercial business 5,573 5,529 44 1.0 Consumer 2,452 5,146 (2,694) (52.4) Home Improvement 4,772 5,774 (1,002) (17.4) Deposit and other 290 470 (180) (38.3) ----------- --------- ---------- ----- 166,085 208,246 (42,161) (20.2) Deferred loan fees (209) (132) (77) (58.3) Undisbursed portion of loans (4,405) (5,516) 1,111 20.1 Allowance for loan losses (862) (882) 20 2.3 ----------- --------- ---------- ----- Total loans, net $ 160,609 $ 201,716 $ (41,107) 20.4 % ----------- --------- ---------- ----- 36 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS While the Bank continues to be a strong residential lender throughout the communities in which it operates, as previously mentioned, management chose to curtail the Bank's mortgage originations rather than expose the Bank to what it believed to be unacceptable levels of interest rate risk. As a result, mortgage loans outstanding decreased $36,471,000 or 20.6%, from $176,667,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 to $140,196,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The balance of the decline in loans from 2002 to 2003 was attributable to smaller declines in nearly all remaining categories of loans. THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES decreased from $882,000 at June 30, 2002 to $862,000 at June 30, 2003 as a result of net charge offs of $160,000, which were partially offset by a provision for loan losses of $140,000. 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. The following table compares non-performing loans, which are loans past due 90 days or more and non-accruing loans, at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively June 30, June 30, 2003 2002 ---- ---- Non-accrual $ 634,000 $ 352,000 Past due 90+ and still accruing 2,559,000 637,000 ----------- ----------- Total non-performing loans $ 3,193,000 $ 989,000 ----------- ----------- Non-performing loans increased $2,204,000, from $989,000 at June 30, 2002, to $3,193,000 at June 30, 2003. This increase can be broken down as follows; $859,000 in the 1-4 family mortgage portfolio, $267,000 in the commercial real estate loan portfolio, $375,000 in the construction loan portfolio and $747,000 in the commercial business loan portfolio. The increase in non-performing 1-4 mortgage loans is attributable to 7 relationships (two of which have been placed on non-accrual) in which the Bank is secured by first mortgages on single-family residences. The increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans is attributable to one relationship which has been placed on non-accrual and is secured by a first mortgage on a single-family rental property. The Bank has specifically reserved $25,000 against this loan. The increase in non-performing construction loans is attributable to one relationship and is secured by a first mortgage loan on a business property. The Bank has specifically reserved $11,000 against this loan. The increase in non-performing commercial business loans is attributable to one relationship (two loans) with a local manufacturer and is secured by all business assets. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the borrower made payments sufficient to bring both loans current and is no longer considered non-performing. Management is working closely with these borrowers to bring these loans current. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 27.0% and 89.2% at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Management believes that the problems with these loans are isolated and not indicative of the loan portfolio in total. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK increased $221,000 or 4.40%, from $5.05 million at June 30, 2002, to $5.27 million at June 30, 2003. This increase was entirely the result of stock dividends received during 2003. INTEREST RECEIVABLE declined from $1.06 million at June 30, 2002 to $867,000 at June 30, 2003. This decline was almost entirely attributable to declining interest rates. While interest earning assets remained fairly stable from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003, the shift from longer term interest bearing assets (loans) to lower yielding short-term investments and interest-bearing cash equivalents coupled with lower overall interest rates, resulted in a 97 basis point decline in the average rate earned on those assets from 7.65% for the year ended June 30, 2002 to 6.68% for the year ended June 30, 2003. 37 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEPOSITS decreased $2.82 million or 2.3%, from $120.45 million at June 30, 2002 to $117.63 million at June 30, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits at June 30 of each year presented. BALANCE BALANCE JUNE 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2003 2002 ($'S) (%) -------- ----------- ------------ ------ Noninterest bearing accounts $ 5,815 $ 7,111 $ (1,296) (18.2)% NOW accounts 21,700 26,314 (4,614) (17.5) Super NOW accounts 1,095 500 595 119.0 Passbook accounts 20,823 20,302 521 2.6 Money market accounts 26,763 17,448 9,315 53.4 Certificates of deposit 41,433 48,772 (7,339) (15.0) -------- ----------- ------------ ------ Total deposits $117,629 $ 120,447 $ (2,818) (2.3)% Increases in Super NOW, passbook and money market accounts were primarily attributable to customers transferring proceeds from maturing certificates of deposit into these accounts. While the $4.6 million decline in NOW accounts was almost entirely attributable to timing differences related to one public funds depositor. FHLB ADVANCES declined by $10.85 million or 14.5%, from $74.17 million at June 30,2002, to $63.33 million at June 30, 2003 as the Bank used proceeds generated from repayments on loans to fund maturing advances. OTHER LIABILITIES decreased by $220,000 or 14.5%, from $1.49 million at June 30, 2002, to $1.27 million at June 30, 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $211,000 decline in advance payments by borrowers from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003, which is consistent with the decline in single family mortgages during that same time frame. TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS'EQUITY increased $1.25 million or 5.4%, from $23.11 million at June 30, 2002, to $24.35 million at June 30, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in stockholders'equity from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003. Total stockholders'equity, June 30, 2002 $ 23,106 Net income 2,545 Unrealized gain on securities AFS 57 Cash dividends ($0.09 per share) (680) Exercise of stock options 248 Tax benefit related to exercise of options 14 Purchase of treasury shares (777) Net change in equity from ESOP shares (162) ----------- Total stockholders' equity, June 30, 2003 $ 24,351 =========== As the table indicates, the increase was primarily the result of $2.55 million in net income for the year ended June 30, 2003 coupled with $248,000 in equity raised through the exercise of stock options. These increases were partially offset by $680,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders, $777,000 in purchases of treasury stock and $162,000 related to the net change in equity related to the Company's ESOP. 38 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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 is significantly influenced by these rates. 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 declined 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. 39 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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. THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $138,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0 for the same period in 2001. 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. 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. 40 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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. 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 June 30, 2003 an aggregate of $154.85 million, or 74.7% of total assets, were invested in such assets. The following table sets forth the change in net portfolio values of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2003, assuming changes in interest rates. 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 Portfolio (Basis Points) (000's) Value - Percent -------------- ------- --------------- +300 $(3,811) (13)% +200 (1,573) (5) +100 2 0 0 - - -100 (1,164) (4) 41 [PEOPLES OHIO 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 (the 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 18.00% and 5.58% at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The primary source of funding for the Company is dividend payments from the Bank. Dividend payments by the Bank are used by the Company to meet operating expenses and 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, 2003, the Bank had no outstanding commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit of $2,114,000 and standby letters of credit of $296,000. As of June 30, 2003, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $30,890,000. 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 $23,853,000 or 11.6% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $24,715,000 or 17.6% 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, 2003 and 2002. 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, 2003, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,835,000. 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. 42 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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 the Bank 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 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement provides the alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to a fair-value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The expanded annual disclosure requirements and the transition provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 43 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Accounting Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 requires guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing a guarantee, and also expands the related disclosures. The provisions of initial recognition are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Management believes that the adoption of FIN 45 will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate, but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to existing entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. FIN 46 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain embedded derivative, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends SFAS No. 133 to reflect the decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) and in other FASB projects or deliberations. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an entity classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 44 [PEOPLES OHIO LOGO] MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS MARKET AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION As of June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately 700 holders of record of its common stock.
