FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. at September 30, 2003, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in its 2002 Annual Report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. described in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in its 2002 Annual Report. Except where noted, Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. ("Corporation") has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-QSB. Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. In previous financial statements, the Corporation has carried securities classified as held to maturity and as available for sale. To aid in liquidity and risk management, the Corporation reclassified all securities from held to maturity to available for sale on August 31, 2003. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Securities with a carrying value of $8,202,000 and unrealized gains of $79,000 were reclassified. The Corporation's equity increased $52,000, net of tax effects, as a result of the transfer. Management expects that all securities purchased in the future will be classified as available for sale.

OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. at September 30, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the same periods in 2002. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements than what could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. When used in this Form 10-QSB or future filings by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," "believe," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, changes in levels of market interest rates, credit risks of lending activities and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Corporation's financial performance and could cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. The Corporation 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 occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. See Exhibit 99, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Corporation is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations except as discussed herein. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation has experienced a 2.05% increase in total assets since December 31, 2002, as total assets increased $2,147,000 from $104,733,000 at December 31, 2002 to $106,880,000 at September 30, 2003. This growth is attributable to a $9,249,000 net increase in loans partially offset by a $6,752,000 decrease in total securities. Funding this net growth in assets was a $2,207,000, or 2.60%, increase in total deposits. Securities available for sale and securities held to maturity had a net decrease of $6,752,000, or 20.80%, from December 31, 2002 through September 30, 2003. Throughout the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003, the Corporation was investing in short-term U.S. government and federal agency securities in order to pick up yield over the federal funds market. This was done to maintain higher levels of liquidity for future loan growth while increasing the yield over a federal funds market that for the first three quarters of 2003 had an average rate of 1.17% prior to correspondent bank transaction costs. During the second and third quarters of 2003, the Corporation used the cash flows from these short-term investments to help fund loan growth. To aid in liquidity and risk management, the Corporation reclassified all securities from held to maturity to available for sale on August 31, 2003. Securities with a carrying value of $8,202,000 and unrealized gains of $79,000 were reclassified. Management expects that all securities purchased in the future will be classified as available for sale. Net loans increased $9,249,000, or 15.28%, from December 31, 2002 through September 30, 2003. Approximately 86% of this net loan growth occurred after May of 2003 as the result of the addition of two loan officers and increased loan participation activity with other banks. Contributing to the net increase in loans was a $7,901,000, or 27.64%, increase in real estate loans and a $1,508,000, or 18.26%, increase in commercial loans. Management 10. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- expects real estate loans, especially commercial real estate, to continue to grow over the next one to two years because of the added emphasis created by the two new loan officers. The allowance for loan losses increased to $832,000, or 1.18% of total loans as of September 30, 2003 compared to $793,000, or 1.29% of total loans at December 31, 2002. The decrease in allowance as a percentage of total loans is due to strong loan growth in commercial and real estate loans. The allocation of allowance for these types of loans is less than consumer loans which have historically made up the majority of charge-off activity. Additionally, nonperforming loans declined from $934,000, or 1.52% of loans, to $718,000, or 1.02% of loans. Should charge-offs, classified loans or delinquencies significantly change, management will change the provision for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Total deposits increased $2,207,000, or 2.60%, from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the cyclical cash needs of customers, current market conditions, and the addition of $668,000 in out of town brokered deposits. Management accepts brokered deposits when they are priced favorable compared to the local market. Brokered deposits are not a significant source of funds and only represent 2.77% of total funding at September 30, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The operating results of the Corporation are affected by general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and the regulatory policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. The Corporation's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by consumer and business demand, which, in turn, is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities. The Corporation's net income is primarily dependent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on the sale of assets and other income, noninterest expense and income taxes also affect net income. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $674,000, or $110,000 less than the same period in 2002. The reasons for the decrease in earnings was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $47,000 and an increase in noninterest expenses of $259,000 partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $63,000 and a decrease in federal income taxes of $121,000. Federal income taxes have decreased by 37.55% over the periods being presented due to lower effective tax rates caused by an increase in nontaxable interest income and increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies in 2003 over 2002. Also, with decreasing costs of interest-bearing liabilities, a higher percentage of the nontaxable interest income is permanently excluded for federal income tax purposes. Net interest income is the largest component of Corporation's income and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income decreased by $47,000, or 1.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to a decrease in the net yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the net yield on interest earning assets is due to a shorter average life of interest-earning assets compared to highly competitive certificate of deposit rates used to encourage customers to invest in longer term deposit 11.

Management expects this net yield and net interest income to improve in the future as liquidity gets absorbed through loan growth. The following table shows the average balances and net yields on interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Year-to-date Year-to-date 2003 2002 ---- ---- (A) Average interest-earning assets $ 100,924,000 $ 88,073,000 (B) Annualized net interest income 3,999,000 4,062,000 Net Yield on interest-earning assets (B/A) 3.96% 4.61% Noninterest income was up $63,000, or 11.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus the same period in 2002 due to increases in fees for customer service and gains on the sale of securities. Fees for customer services are up $28,000, or 6.61%, due to growth in deposit accounts and larger realized fees on commercial deposit accounts due to lower earnings credit. Throughout 2002 and 2003, interest rates have been low causing a strong bond market. Management has used this opportunity to sell some securities, at a profit, that do not meet optimal credit or interest rate risk characteristics. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the gain from these sales was $28,000 higher than the same period in 2002. Noninterest expense was up $259,000, or 12.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The largest fluctuations in this category came from salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense and loan collection expense. Salaries and employee benefits is up $145,000, or 13.79%, due to higher supplemental retirement plan expense accruals, higher group medical premiums and the addition of three employees. Occupancy expense is up $45,000, or 11.69%, due to software and hardware additions relating to a new data imaging system. Loan collection expenses are up $57,000, or 98.91%, due to increased bankruptcy filings, increased charge-off activity, and a review by legal council on the status of all uncollected loans. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $205,000, or $100,000 less than the same period in 2002. The reason for the decrease in earnings was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and noninterest income and increases in noninterest expense partially offset by decreases in federal income taxes. All major fluctuations in income between the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 are similar in nature, and discussed in the previous section. CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors, and regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action having a direct material affect on the operations of the Bank. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The minimum requirements are: 12. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.

LIQUIDITY Liquidity management focuses on the ability to have funds available to meet the loan and depository transaction needs of the Bank's customers and the Corporation's other financial commitments. Cash and cash equivalent assets (which include deposits this Bank maintains at other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments) and cash flows expected from the securities portfolio within 90 days at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 are listed below. These assets provide the primary source of funds for loan demand and deposit balance fluctuations. Additional sources of liquidity are securities classified as available for sale and access to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, as the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. September 30, December 31, 2003 2002 ---- ---- Cash and cash equivalent assets $ 7,081,000 $ 7,433,000 Security portfolio cashflows expected to be received within 90 days 2,475,000 2,527,000 -------------- -------------- $ 9,556,000 $ 9,960,000 ============== ============== Taking into account the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation maintained by the Corporation, available liquidity sources are considered adequate to meet current and projected needs. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a more detailed review of the Corporation's sources and uses of cash. 13. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.
