All adjustments to the financial statements were normal and recurring in nature. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2003 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and the Bank. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders. (2) Earnings Per Share The following table is for the three-month period ending September 30, 2003 and 2002 and reflects the weighted average number of shares of common stock for both basic and diluted EPS as well as the dilutive effect of stock options.

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. The proforma effect on income for the periods presented includes the effect of forfeitures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. GENERAL Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company") is based in west central Ohio and is the parent company of Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (the "Bank"). The Company was formed during the year ended June 30, 2002 to provide various benefits to the Bank, as well as to take advantage of a more effective structure for expanded financial activities. The Bank, a state chartered savings bank, was originally chartered in 1890. The Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from Miami and northern Montgomery counties and originating mortgage loans throughout those same areas. All references to the Company include the Bank unless otherwise indicated. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q may include certain forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those management expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the composition or quality of the Bank's loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. A further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in detail under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company and the Bank." 8 FINANCIAL CONDITION Total consolidated assets of the Company at September 30, 2003 were $204,205,000, compared to $207,349,000 at June 30, 2003, a decline of $3,144,000 or 1.5%. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS remained fairly stable declining $829,000, from $15,835,000 at June 30, 2003 to $15,006,000 at September 30, 2003. Management uses its uses its short -term "cash accounts" to hold funds generated from these regular banking activities as it evaluates investment (loan) alternatives. NET LOANS declined $9.9 million or 6.2%, from $160,609,000at June 30, 2003, to $150,663 million at September 30, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in the Bank's loan portfolio by category for each period presented. BALANCE BALANCE SEPTEMBER 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2003 2003 ($'S) (%) ----- ----- ----- --- Residential single-family mortgages $ 107,472 $ 115,175 $ (7,703) (6.7)% Other residential and commercial mortgages 24,910 25,021 (111) (0.4) ------ ------ ----- Total mortgage loans 132,382 140,196 (7,814) (5.6) Construction 10,260 12,802 (2,542) (19.9) Commercial business 4,268 5,573 (1,305) (7.5) Consumer 2,475 2,452 23 0.01 Home improvement 4,774 4,772 2 - Deposit and other 278 290 (12) (0.04) --- --- ---- Gross loans 154,437 166,085 (11,648) (7.0) Deferred loan fees (214) (209) 5 Undisbursed portion of loans (2,703) (4,405) 1,702 Allowance for loan losses (857) (862) (5) ----- ----- --- Total loans, net $ 150,663 $ 160,609 $ (9,946) (6.2)% --------- --------- --------- While the Bank continues to be a strong residential lender throughout the communities in which it operates, management has been reluctant to portfolio long-term fixed rate mortgages during this period of historically low interest rates. As a result, the Bank has seen some decline in its residential single-family mortgage loan portfolio. Management continues to focus on shorter-term commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending during the quarter. THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES was relatively unchanged declining from $862,000 at June 30, 2003 to $857,000 at September 30, 2003. This decrease was the result of a provision for loan losses of $30,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 and net charge-offs of $35,000. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 0.56% and 0.52% at September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively. 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 September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003. September 30, June 30, 2003 2003 ---- ---- Past due 90+ and still accruing $ 2,021,000 $ 3,193,000 Non-accrual 1,002,000 634,000 --------- ------- Total non-performing loans $ 3,023,000 $ 3,827,000 =========== =========== 9 Non-performing loans, declined from $3,827,000 at June 30, 2003, to $3,023,000 at September 30, 2003. Loans past-due 90 days or more declined from $3,193,000 at June 30, 2003 to $2,021,000 at September 30, 2003. This decline was primarily attributable to four accounts which were brought current during the quarter, two commercial loans totaling $250,000 and $499,000 which are secured by business assets, and two first mortgage loans totaling $70,000 and $197,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans increased from $634,000 at June 30, 2003 to $1,002,000 at September 30, 2003. This increase in non-accrual loans was attributable to placing a commercial real estate loan ($375,000) on non-accrual status during the quarter. Management continues to work closely with these borrowers to bring these loans current. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 28.3% and 22.5% at September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively. Management believes that the problems with these loans are isolated and not indicative of the loan portfolio in total. DEPOSITS increased $7,713,000 or 6.6%, from $117,629,000 at June 30, 2003 to $125,342,000 at September 30, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits for each period presented. BALANCE BALANCE SEPTEMBER 30, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2003 2003 ($'S) (%) ---- --- ---- --- Noninterest bearing accounts $5,743 $ 5,815 $ 72 1.2% NOW accounts 26,851 21,700 5,151 23.7 Super NOW accounts 1,650 1,095 555 50.7 Passbook accounts 21,815 20,823 992 4.8 Money market accounts 31,548 26,763 4,785 17.9 Certificates of deposit 37,735 41,433 (3,698) (9.9) ------ ------ ------- Total deposits $ 125,342 $ 117,629 $ 7,713 6.6% --------- --------- ------- Increases in noninterest bearing, NOW, super NOW, passbook and money market accounts were primarily attributable to the opening of new accounts. In addition to new retail accounts and a significant new public fund customer, a portion of the growth in virtually all types of deposit accounts was the result of customers transferring proceeds from maturing certificates of deposit into these accounts. TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY declined $196,000 or 0.8%, from $24,351,000 million at June 30, 2003, to $24,155,000million at September 30, 2003. The decrease was the result of $443,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders, $246,000, net of options exercised, related to the repurchase of stock and $30,000 related to the net change in equity related to the Company's ESOP during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, offset by $514,000 in net earnings and a $10,000 increase in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. During July 2003, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Treasury stock purchases are made on the open market and used for general corporate purposes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002 The Company reported earnings of $514,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, a decline of $193,000, or 27.3%, from the $707,000 reported for the same period in 2002. Basic and diluted earnings per share both declined $0.02 or 22.2% from $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The Company's return on average assets was 1.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 1.27% for the same period in 2002. Return on average equity was 8.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to 12.12% for the same period in 2002. Earnings declined as a result of a decline in net interest income of $422,000, or 19.2%, from $2,195,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $1,773,000 for three months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $143,000 or 37.5%, from $381,000 reported for three months ended September 30, 2002 to $524,000 three months ended September, 2003. 10 NET INTEREST INCOME was $1,773,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, $422,000, or 19.2%, less than the $2,195,000 reported for three months ended September 30, 2002. Total interest income was $2,911,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, a decline of $967,000, or 24.9% from the $3,878,000 reported during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The decline in interest income was partially offset by a $544,000 decline in interest expense from $1,682,000 for the three months ended September 30 2002, to $1,138,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Total interest income was $2,911,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, a decline of $967,000, or 24.9% from the $3,878,000 reported during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was attributable to a decline in average loans outstanding from $203,009,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to $154,415,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This decline was the result of the Company taking advantage of the prolonged low interest rate environment to divest of longer-term fixed rate assets (primarily 30-year fixed rate mortgages) in favor of shorter-term interest earning assets (primarily investment securities with weighted-average-maturities ranging from 1 to 3 years) in an effort to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate risk and better position the Company should longer-term interest rates begin to increase. The continued low interest rate environment on the average yield of the Company's loan portfolio and declines in average loans outstanding were the primary reasons for this decline in total interest income. Management noted that the average yield on the Company's loan portfolio declined 39 basis points from 7.35% during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 6.96% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Interest expense was $1,138,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, $544,000 or 32.3%, lower than the $1,682,000 recorded for the three months ended September 30 2002, as interest expense paid on certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances declined significantly in comparison to the same period in the previous year. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was $252,000, $164,000 or 39.4% lower than the $416,000 recorded in three months ended September 30, 2002. The average balance of certificates of deposit declined by $7,580,000, from $46,864,000 for the three months ended September 2002, to $39,284,000 for three months ended September 30, 2003. In addition, the average rate paid on those certificates of deposit decreased by 100 basis points, from 3.55% during the three months ended September 30, 2002, to 2.55% during the three months ended September 30 2003. Interest expense on FHLB advances was $788,000, $181,000 or 18.7% lower than the $969,000 recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2002. The average balance of FHLB advances declined by $18,127,000, from $75,443,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $57,316,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The impact of the decline in average FHLB advances outstanding was somewhat offset by an increase in the average rate paid on those advances of 31 basis points, from 5.14% during the three months ended September 30 2002, to 5.45% during the same period in 2003. The balance of the decline in interest expense was attributable to declines in the interest paid to the Company's demand deposit and savings account customers. The average balance of the Company's interest-bearing NOW and money market accounts increased $7,360,000, from $52,575,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, to $59,935,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, while the average balance of the Company's savings accounts increased $1,485,000 during the same period in 2002. .. The impact of the increases in average demand deposit and savings accounts outstanding was completely offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on those deposits during the three months ended September 30 2003, in comparison to the same period in 2002. THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $30,000 for three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $45,000 for the same period in 2002. The provision for both periods reflects management's analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio based on information that is currently available to it at such time. In particular, management considers the level of non-performing loans and potential problem loans. Net charge-offs for three months ended September 2003 were $35,000 compared to $24,000 during the same period in 2002. While management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based on information currently available to it, no assurances can be made that future events, conditions, or regulatory directives will not result in increased provisions for loan losses which may adversely effect income. NONINTEREST INCOME was $524,000 for three months ended September 30, 2003, $143,000 or 37.5% higher than the $381,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to a $111,000 increase in service charges earned on deposit accounts and a $44,000 increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance. These increases were somewhat offset by a $17,000 decline in income generated from fiduciary activities (trust services). 11 NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $1,510,000 for three months ended September 30, 2003, $58,000 or 4.0% higher than the $1,452,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The slight increase was attributable to slight increases in several expense accounts. TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $243,000 (an effective tax rate of 32.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $372,000 (an effective tax rate of 34.5%) during the three months ended September 30, 2002. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY AND THE BANK Banking regulations require the Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Bank's regulatory liquidity was 21.55% and 13.70% at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The primary source of funding for the Company is dividend payments from the Bank. Dividend payments by the Bank have been used primarily by the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders. The Bank's liquidity is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The primary investment activity of the Bank is the origination of mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans. The primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, mortgage-backed securities, and investments. While scheduled payments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank utilizes FHLB borrowings to leverage its capital base and provide funds for lending and to better manage its interest rate risk. The sole investment of the Company is its investment in the Bank's stock. At September 30, 2003, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $4,585,000, open-end consumer lines of credit of $7,331,000, unused commercial lines of credit of $2,100,000 and standby letters of credit of $297,000. As of September 30, 2003, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $22,113,000. 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 Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements. At September 30, 2003, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible and tier 1 capital both at $22,411,000 or 11.13% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $ 23,268,000 or 17.75% of risk-weighted assets. The required minimum ratios 1.5% for tangible capital to adjusted total assets, 4.0% for tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets and 8.0% for risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of cash and cash equivalents is dependent on the Bank's operating, financing lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2003, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,006,000. The Company's and Bank's future short -term requirements for cash are not expected to significantly change. However, in the event that the Bank should require funds in excess of its ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available, including additional FHLB advances. With no parent company debt and sound capital levels, the Company should have many options available for satisfying its longer-term cash needs such as borrowing funds, raising equity capital and issuing trust preferred securities. Management is not aware of any current recommendations or government proposals which, if implemented would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There has been no significant change in the Company's market risk since June 30, 2003, except as discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2, above. For information regarding the Company's Market Risk, refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2003. 12 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of the Company's management, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")).

No changes were made to the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
