("Corporation") formed a special purpose entity, Ohio State Bancshares Capital Trust I ("Trust"). The sole purpose of the Trust was to issue $3,000,000 of variable-rate trust preferred securities. The Trust then delivered the proceeds to the Corporation in exchange for subordinated debentures with the same provisions and payment terms as the issued trust preferred securities. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., the Trust is not consolidated in the financial statements of the Corporation. However, the trust will have no operating activities or cash flows outside of the trust preferred securities. The subordinated debentures have the following terms: Maturity: April 23, 2034 Coupon Payment: Quarterly at 285 basis points over the 3-month LIBOR rate Call Options: Callable quarterly by the Corporation starting April 2009 at par. May be called prior to 2009, at par, if a material change in tax treatment or the Federal Reserve capital requirements occurs. Put Options: None 9. 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. ("Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Marion Bank ("Bank"), at March 31, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. 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 in 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 7.34% increase in total assets since December 31, 2003, as total assets increased from $110,862,000 at December 31, 2003 to $119,000,000 at March 31, 2004. Most of this growth is attributable to an increase in funding. Total deposits increased $5,320,000, borrowings increased $432,000 and the issuance of subordinated debentures added $3,000,000 to the size of the Corporation. Most of this funding growth, along with a decrease in debt securities, remained in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8,704,000, or 229%, from December 31, 2003 through March 31, 2004. Cash levels at March 31, 2004 were higher than desirable for long-term profitability goals, but was done due to a short-term drop in interest rates and expected loan growth in 2004. As an example, the 5-year treasury yield averaged 3.17% from October of 2003 through February 2004, but fell to an average of 2.77% in March of 2004. Management felt the drop in interest rates was temporary, resulting in debt securities being temporarily overpriced. For this reason, along with expectations of strong loan growth in the short-term, management did not invest excess funding. As of April 21, 2004, the 5-year treasury yield has increased to 3.52%. Management expects cash levels to be reduced over the next few months. Securities available for sale decreased $2,086,000, or 7.72%, from December 31, 2003 through March 31, 2004. As previously mentioned, management felt that general interest rates were temporarily low. This created an opportunity to sell debt securities with long lives that would suffer price depreciation as interest rates rise. Management sold approximately $1,500,000 of state and municipal bonds with average lives greater than 10 years. 10. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Net loans increased $927,000, or 1.23%, during the period from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. The only notable fluctuations came from the real estate portfolio, which increased 4.61%, and the installment portfolio, which decreased 3.51%. The decrease in the installment portfolio is typical for the first quarter. In 2003, installment loans decreased 1.78% through the same period. As the year progresses, management expects loan demand to increase, especially in the real estate portfolio, as a result of staffing changes made in 2003. Total deposits increased $5,320,000, or 6.11%, from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. The increase in deposits was primarily due to increases in public fund deposits of $2,138,000, out-of-market time deposits of $700,000, and a general increase in balances of the core deposit base. Public fund deposits represent deposits from local government and public entities such as libraries and schools. Out-of-market deposits, also known as brokered deposits, are used mainly by the Corporation to meet interest-bearing liability maturity needs not met through local demand. At March 31, 2004, out-of-market time deposits totaled $3,751,000 and are not considered a material source of funding. Subordinated debentures of $3,000,000 were issued in February of 2004. This was done to provide operating capital for future expansion without ownership dilution of existing common shareholders. For regulatory capital purposes, the subordinated debt is counted as tier 1 capital at the Corporation. For further details about this transaction see Note 4 of the March 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements. 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. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $138,000, or $82,000 less than the same period in 2003. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to increases in noninterest expenses that exceeded the growth in revenue. The next few paragraphs will discuss the major fluctuations in income. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the largest component of the 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 increased by $88,000, or 9.00%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in net interest income is attributable to increased average earning asset balances. The following table shows the average balances and net yields on interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. 11. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 1st Quarter 1st Quarter 2004 2003 ---- ---- (A) Average interest-earning assets $108,009,000 $99,772,000 (B) Annualized net interest income 4,317,000 3,993,000 Net Yield on interest-earning assets (B/A) 4.00% 4.00% Noninterest Income Noninterest income was up $11,000, or 6.95%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 versus the same period in 2003. The only major fluctuation in this category was from net gains on sales of securities. The reasons for these security sales were described earlier in this discussion. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was up $216,000, or 28.12%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 versus the same period in 2003. The difference was mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and professional fees. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $167,000, or 44.04%. $92,000 of this increase was due to higher supplemental retirement accruals caused by lower discount rates, a change in the service period of a covered executive, and a change in projected benefits. The remaining change in salaries and employee benefits was due to the addition of two middle management positions and normal pay increases. Occupancy and equipment was up $23,000, or 16.96%, and was due to the addition of a main frame computer system added late in 2003, increased utility costs and normal growth. Professional fees increased $40,000, or 155.79%, and were the result of fees for an amendment to the Corporation's Code of Regulations and fees relating to growth strategies currently being considered by the Board of Directors. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense decreased $20,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2004 versus the same period in 2003. This was entirely the result of lower net income before income tax. The effective tax rate was approximately 20% for both periods. 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.

On March 30, 2004, the Corporation added $1,600,000 in capital to the Bank as additional paid-in capital from some of the proceeds of the subordinated debt. 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.
