FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 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. 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 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. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Approximate Percentage of Gross Loans at June 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ------------- ----------------- Commercial 12% 13% Installment 27 31 Real Estate - Residential 29 29 Real Estate - Commercial, Farm and Other 31 26 Credit Card and Other 1 1 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. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.

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. Year-to-date Year-to-date 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ (A) Average interest-earning assets $109,811,000 $100,603,000 (B) Annualized net interest income 4,320,000 3,998,000 Net Yield on interest-earning assets (B/A) 3.93% 3.97% 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. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION; 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 ------------------ Tier 1 capital Total Tier 1 to average assets ----- ------ ------------------ Well capitalized 10% 6% 5% Adequately capitalized 8% 4% 4% Undercapitalized 6% 3% 3% 14. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC. 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. OHIO STATE BANCSHARES, INC.
