NOTE 4 - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In February 2004, Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. ("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 as part of a pooled offering of such 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

                                                                             10.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio
State Bancshares, Inc. at June 30, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003, and the
consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2004, compared to the same periods 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 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 5.83% increase in total assets since December
31, 2003, as total assets increased $6,466,000. Most of this growth is
attributable to an increase of $4,203,000 in loans, $1,470,000 in securities,
and $549,000 in premises and equipment. Funding this net growth in assets was a
$4,373,000 increase in total deposits and origination of $3,000,000 in
subordinated debt, partially offset by a $1,248,000 decrease in federal funds
purchased.

Net loans increased $4,203,000, or 5.58%, from December 31, 2003 to June 30,
2004. Real estate loans increased $6,228,000 and were partially offset by
decreases in installment loans of $1,613,000 and commercial loans of $260,000.
Management expects loan growth throughout 2004 to be roughly 10% to 12%, on an
annual basis, with the majority of the demand in real estate loans. This is the
result of a wider geographical lending focus and staffing changes made in 2003.

Management previously had the strategy to de-emphasize the installment portfolio
as a percentage of total loans. This portfolio is made of primarily consumer
automobile loans. At year-end 2000 and 2001, installment loans as a percentage
of total loans were approximately 48% and 41%. As of June 30, 2004 this same
percentage was approximately 27%. Management is more comfortable with the
current loan diversification and is no longer actively reducing installment
concentrations. A snapshot of the major loan classifications as a percentage of
total gross loans is as follows:

                                                                             11.

Securities available for sale increased $1,470,000, or 5.44%, from December 31,
2003 to June 30, 2004. This growth came in two stages. In the first quarter of
2004, securities decreased by $2,086,000 mainly due to the sale of certain
securities with long durations and average lives around 10 years. In the second
quarter of 2004, securities increased by $3,556,000 mainly due to purchases of
securities with weighted average lives around 3 years. This was done to shorten
the duration on interest-earning assets and help protect net interest income if
interest rates rise. Both actions have been positive since the 10 year average
Treasury yield was 4.00% in the first quarter and 4.57% in the second quarter
and the 3 year average Treasury yield increased from 2.10% in the first quarter
to 2.90% in the second quarter.

Premises and equipment increased $549,000, or 31.94%, from December 31, 2003 to
June 30, 2004. This is mainly due to renovations of the loan operations area and
entire second floor of the main office. This project is expected to be finished
in the third quarter of 2004 and will net 6,000 square feet of new office space.
The total project is expected to cost approximately $895,000 including new
furniture and equipment.

Total deposits increased $4,373,000, or 5.03%, from December 31, 2003 to June
30, 2004. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a general increase in
balances of the core deposit base, increases in public fund deposits of
$608,000, and out-of-market time deposits of $612,000. 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 June 30, 2004, out-of-market time deposits totaled
$3,665,000 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 June 30, 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.

                                                                             12.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $300,000, or $169,000 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
following paragraphs will discuss the major fluctuations in income.

Net Interest Income

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
increased by $178,000, or 8.96%, for the six months ended June 30, 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 six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $45,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004
versus the same period in 2003. The only material fluctuation in this category
was a decrease of $62,000 in gains on sales of securities. Security sales are
dependent on management's risk management goals and market interest rate
fluctuations. As the general level of market interest rates rise, management
expects the net gains from the sale of securities to decrease.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was up $369,000, or 23.30%, for the six months ended June
30, 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 $314,000, or
40.77%. $183,000 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 three middle
management positions and normal pay increases. Occupancy and equipment was up
$43,000, or 15.14%, and was due to the addition of a main frame computer system
added late in 2003, increased utility costs and normal growth. Some of the
occupancy expense includes costs related to the main office renovations but most
of these costs have been capitalized and depreciation will start late in the
third quarter of 2004. Professional fees increased $48,000, or 76.98%, 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 $58,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004
versus the same period in 2003. This was primarily the result of lower income
before income taxes. The effective tax rate was approximately 20% for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 and 22% for the same period in 2003.

                                                                             13.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $161,000, or $88,000
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. All major
fluctuations in income between the three months ended and six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2004 are similar in nature, and discussed in the previous section,
except for credit card processing expenses.

Credit card processing expenses decreased $11,000, or 52.44%, for the three
month period ending June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The
Corporation no longer offers merchant credit card services to its commercial
customers but will instead offer this service through a large national credit
card processor. The merchant credit card service is an accounts receivable
service that allows retailers, who accept credit cards, to get clearing of
transactions as direct deposits to their deposit accounts. This change will save
the Corporation approximately $50,000 per year and not materially affect the
service we provide to our commercial customers. The remaining credit card
processing expenses relate to the processing of credit cards directly offered to
individual and commercial customers of the Corporation.

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:



                                 Capital to risk-
                                 weighted assets

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION;
                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the actual capital ratios for the Bank
were:



                                          June 30,  December 31,
                                            2004       2003
                                          --------  ------------
                                              
Total capital to risk-weighted assets       13.5%      11.8%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets      12.4       10.8
Tier 1 capital to average assets             8.8        7.6


At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Bank was categorized as well
capitalized. 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. 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 June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 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.



                                         June 30,   December 31,
                                           2004         2003

Cash and cash equivalent assets         $3,695,000   $3,795,000
Security portfolio cashflows expected
   to receive within 90 days             1,017,000    1,026,000
                                        ----------   ----------
                                        $4,712,000   $4,821,000
                                        ==========   ==========


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.

                                                                             15.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION;
                         ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met.
Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation's management, with the participation of the Corporation's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange
Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such
evaluation, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Corporation's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing,
summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be
disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have not been any changes in the Corporation's internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
