NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and,
in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, the results of
operations and the cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended December
31, 2003 and 2002.
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 and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003, are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation
(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
Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (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 and six-month period ending December 31,

(3) Stock Options
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. 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.

ITEM 2. 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 upon 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."

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets of the Company at December 31, 2003 were $192,849,000,
compared to $207,349,000 at June 30, 2003, a decline of $14,500,000 or 7.0%.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS declined $9,699,000 or 61.3%, from $15,835,000 at June
30, 2003 to $6,136,000 at December 31, 2003. Management uses its short -term
"cash accounts" to hold funds generated from these regular banking activities as
it evaluates investment (loan) alternatives.
NET LOANS declined $9.4 million or 5.9%, from $160,609,000 at June 30, 2003, to
$151,186,000 at December 31, 2003. The following table illustrates changes in
the Bank's loan portfolio by category for each period presented.

Total loans, net $ 151,186 $ 160,609 (9,423) (5.9)
========= ========= =========
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 continued to focus on
shorter-term commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending.
THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES was relatively unchanged, declining from $862,000
at June 30, 2003 to $860,000 at December 31, 2003. This decrease was the result
of a provision for loan losses of $60,000 during the quarter ended December 31,
2003 and net charge-offs of $80,000. The ratio of the Company's allowance for
loan losses to gross loans was 0.57% and 0.53% at December 31, 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 December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003.
December 31, June 30,
2003 2003
---------- ----------
Past due 90+ and still accruing $ 750,000 $2,559,000
Non-accrual 894,000 634,000
---------- ----------
Total non-performing loans $1,644,000 $3,193,000
========== ==========
Non-performing loans, declined from $3,193,000 at June 30, 2003, to $1,644,000
at December 31, 2003. Loans past-due 90 days or more declined from $2,559,000 at
June 30, 2003 to $750,000 at December 31, 2003. This decline was primarily
attributable to six accounts which were brought current during the six month
period, two
9
commercial loans totaling $250,000 and $499,000 which are secured by business
assets, and four first mortgage loans totaling $70,000, $197,000, $348,000 and
$192,000, respectively. Non-accrual loans increased from $634,000 at June 30,
2003 to $894,000 at December 31, 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
42.6% and 22.5% at December 31, 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.
BANK-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE increased from $0 at June 30, 2003 to $4,091,000 at
December 31, 2003. in June 2003, both the Company's and Bank's Board of
Directors authorized the purchased life insurance on several key executives in
an effort to protect the Bank against projected increases in employee benefit
costs and to help mitigate the costs associated with replacing key members of
management in the event of their untimely death. It should be noted that no
benefits were provided by the Bank to these executives as a result of this
transaction.
DEPOSITS remained fairly stable, increasing $2,541,000 or 2.2%, from
$117,629,000 at June 30, 2003 to $115,088,000 at December 31, 2003. The
following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits for each
period presented.
BALANCE BALANCE
DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE
2003 2003 ($'s) (%)
-------- -------- -------- ----
Noninterest bearing accounts $ 6,629 $ 5,815 814 14.0

Super NOW accounts 1,643 1,095 548 50.0

-------- -------- -------- ----
Total deposits $115,088 $117,629 ($ 2,541) (2.2)
======== ======== ======== ====
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 increased $153,000, or 0.6%, from $24,351,000 million
at June 30, 2003, to $25,504,000 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was
the result of $904,000 in net earnings, $207,000 contributed from the exercise
of options, and $22,000 related to the net change in equity related to the
Company's ESOP. These increases to stockholders' equity were somewhat offset by
$443,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders, $530,000 related to
the repurchase of stock, and a $7,000 decrease in the unrealized gain on
securities available for sale during the six month period ended December 31,
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 SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND
2002
The Company reported earnings of $904,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2003, a decline of $445,000, or 33.0%, from the $1,349,000 reported for the same
period in 2002. Basic earnings per share declined $0.06 or 33.3% from $0.18 for
the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $0.12 for the six months ended
December 31, 2003. Diluted earnings per share declined $0.05 or 29.4% from $0.17
for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $0.12 for the six months ended
December 31, 2003. The Company's return on average assets was 0.90% for the six
months ended December 31, 2003 compared to 1.22% for the same period in 2002.
Return on average equity was 7.43% for the six months ended December 31, 2003,
compared to 11.42% for the same period in 2002.
Earnings declined as a result of a decline in net interest income of $812,000,
or 18.9%, from $4,302,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to
$3,490,000 for six months ended December 31, 2003. This
10
decrease was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $258,000
or 32.7%, from $790,000 reported for six months ended December 31, 2002 to
$1,048,000 three months ended September, 2003.
NET INTEREST INCOME was $3,490,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003,
$812,000, or 18.9%, less than the $4,302,000 reported for six months ended
December 31, 2002. Total interest income was $5,671,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 2003, a decline of $1,871,000, or 24.8% from the $7,542,000
reported during the six months ended December 31, 2002. The decline in interest
income was partially offset by a $1,059,000 or 32.7% decline in interest expense
from $3,240,000 for the six months ended December 31 2002, to $2,181,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 2003.
The decrease in total interest income was attributable to a decline in average
loans outstanding from $197,334,000 during the six months ended December 31,
2002, to $151,881,000 during the six months ended December 31, 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 48 basis points from
7.30% during the six months ended December 31, 2002 to 6.82% during the six
months ended December 31, 2003.
Interest expense was $2,181,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003,
$1,059,000 or 32.7%, lower than the $3,240,000 recorded for the six months ended
December 31 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 $484,000, $139,000 or 22.3% lower than the $623,000 recorded in six
months ended December 31, 2002. The average balance of certificates of deposit
declined by $5,712,000, from $44,099,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2003, to $38,387,000 for six months ended December 31, 2003. In addition, the
average rate paid on those certificates of deposit decreased by 106 basis
points, from 3.56% during the six months ended December 31, 2002, to 2.50%
during the six months ended December 31 2003. Interest expense on FHLB advances
was $1,503,000, $390,000 or 20.6% lower than the $1,893,000 recorded in the six
months ended December 31, 2002. The average balance of FHLB advances declined by
$19,513,000, from $73,775,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to
$54,262,000 for the six months ended December 31, 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 36 basis points, from 5.13% during
the six months ended December 31 2002, to 5.49% 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 $5,395,000, from $54,586,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 2002, to $59,981,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003,
while the average balance of the Company's savings accounts increased $616,000
during the same period. 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 six months ended December 31
2003, in comparison to the same period in 2002.
THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $60,000 for six months ended December 31, 2003
compared to $80,000 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 the six months ended December 31, 2003 were $62,000 compared to
$59,000 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 $1,048,000 for six months ended December 31, 2003,
$258,000 or 32.7% higher than the $790,000 reported for the six months ended
December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to a $215,000
increase in service charges earned on deposit accounts and a $95,000 increase in
the cash surrender value of life insurance. These increases were somewhat offset
by a $56,000 decline in income generated from fiduciary activities (trust
services).
NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $3,133,000 for six months ended December 31, 2003,
$180,000 or 6.1% higher than the $2,953,000 reported for the six months ended
December 31, 2002. While most noninterest expense categories
11
experienced slight increases, salaries and employee benefits increased $27,000
or 1.9%, data processing fees increased $36,000 or 14.3% other noninterest
expense increased $93,000 or 11.2% from $830,000 for six months ended December
31, 2002, to $923,000 for the same period in 2003. The increase in salaries and
employee benefits were the result of normal salary increases while the increase
in data processing fees was attributable to periodic maintenance on the Bank's
processing hardware. The $93,000 increase in other noninterest expense was
attributable to a $24,000 increase in office supplies expense, a $24,000
increase in regulatory examination fees which were both the result of "timing
differences" and a $5,000 increase in administrative expenses related to the
Bank's purchase of life insurance which was made in July 2003, a $15,000
increase in the Bank's merchant services fees due to heavier usage than the
previous period, a $7,000 increase in expenses related to the Bank's internet
banking product which was introduced in March 2003 and $14,000 in fees related
to the Bank's overdraft privilege product which was also introduced in March of
2003.
TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $441,000 (an effective tax rate of 32.8%) for the
six months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $710,000 (an effective tax rate
of 34.5%) during the six months ended December 31, 2002.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
The Company reported earnings of $390,000 for the three months ended December
31, 2003, a decline of $252,000, or 39.3%, from the $642,000 reported for the
same period in 2002. Both basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.03,
or 37.5%, from $0.08 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, to $0.05 for
the three months ended December 31, 2003. The Company's return on average assets
was 0.79% for the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to 1.16% for the
same period in 2002 while return on average equity was 6.42% for the three
months ended December 31, 2003 compared to 10.76% for the same period 2002.
NET INTEREST INCOME was $1,717,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003,
$390,000, or 18.5%, less than the $2,107,000 reported for three months ended
December 31, 2002.
Interest income was $2,760,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, a
decrease of $905,000 or 24.7%, from $3,665,000 for the three months ended
December 31 2002 which was primarily attributable to a decline in interest
income earned on loans from $3,535,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2002, $994,000 or 28.1% less than the $2,541,000 earned the three months ended
December 31, 2003. This decline was the result of both, a lower average balance
of total loans outstanding, which declined from $191.7 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2002 to $150.1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, and a
decline in the overall yield on loans, from 7.38% during the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, to 6.73% during the quarter ended December 31, 2003.
Interest expense was $1,043,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, a
decrease of $515,000 or 33.1%, $1,558,000 for the three months ended December 31
2002. This decline was the result of the lower interest rate environment coupled
with a change in the mix of deposits and FHLB advances used to fund the Bank's
assets. Average total deposits decreased $5.6 million, from $123.4 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2002, to $117.8 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 2003. In addition, the composition of those deposits changed
significantly shifting from longer-term higher rate certificates of deposit to
shorter-term lower rate demand deposit and savings accounts. As a result, the
average rate paid on deposit account during the quarter ended December 31, 2003
was 1.11% compared to 2.05% during the quarter ended December 31, 2002. In
addition, the Bank paid off maturing FHLB advances which resulted in a decline
in the average balance of FHLB advances outstanding from $72.1 million during
the quarter ended December 31, 2002, to $51.0 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 2003, which in turn, lowered the interest expense associated with
those advances.
THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $30,000 for three months ended December 31,
2003 compared to $35,000 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. Total charge-offs for three months ended December 2003 were $28,000
compared to $45,000 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 affect income.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $1,623,000 for three months ended December 31, 2003,
$123,000 or 8.2% higher than the $1,500,000 reported for the three months ended
December 31, 2002. While each of the other noninterest expense categories
experienced slight increases, other noninterest expense increased $96,000 or
23.1% from $416,000 for three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to
$512,000 for the same period in 2003. The $96,000 increase in other noninterest
expense was primarily attributable to a $24,000 increase in office supplies
12
expense, a $24,000 increase in regulatory examination fees which were both the
result of "timing differences" and a $3,000 increase in administrative expenses
related to the Bank's purchase of life insurance which was made in July 2003, a
$15,000 increase in the Bank's merchant services fees due to heavier usage than
the previous period, a $3,000 increase in expenses related to the Bank's
internet banking product which was introduced in March 2003 and $10,000 in fees
related to the Bank's overdraft privilege product which was also introduced in
March of 2003. The balance of the increase was attributable to small increases
in virtually all other noninterest expense items.
TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $198,000 (an effective tax rate of 33.6%) for the
three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $338,000 (an effective tax
rate of 34.5%) during the three months ended December 31, 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 15.80% and
19.12% at December 31, 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 December 31, 2003, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
$3,417,000, open-end consumer lines of credit of $7,011,000, unused commercial
lines of credit of $2,727,000 and standby letters of credit of $182,000. As of
December 31, 2003, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or
less totaled $21,770,000. 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 December 31, 2003, the Bank exceeded
all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible and tier 1 capital both
at $22,847,000 or 11.98% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $
23,707,000 or 19.23% 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 December 31, 2003, the Bank's
cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,136,000. 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

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

Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
