The following was contained in a press release issued by Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation on January 25, 2005: PEOPLES OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION FINANCIAL OVERVIEW SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2005 Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported earnings of $862,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, a decline of $42,000, or 4.7%, from the $904,000 reported for the same period in 2003. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.12 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, and 2003. Net interest income was $3,486,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, $4,000 or 0.1%, less than the $3,490,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2003. While the Bank continues to be primarily a mortgage lender, it's focus on shorter-term interest earning assets over the past twenty-four months has resulted in an overall loan portfolio of shorter duration with a slightly lower overall yield. Total interest income was $5,463,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, a decline of $208,000, or 3.7% from the $5,671,000 reported during the six months ended December 31, 2003. Average loans outstanding were unchanged during each of the six month periods while the average yield earned on loans declined. The decline in interest income was offset by a $204,000 or 9.4% decline in interest expense during the same period and was primarily due to a decline in the average balance of certificates of deposit during the six months ended December 31, 2004 in comparison to the same period during 2003. Noninterest income was stable at $1,037,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to the $1,048,000 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2003, as increases in service charges on deposit accounts of $38,000, were more than off-set by a decline in revenue generated by trust operations of $52,000. Noninterest expense was $3,181,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2005, $48,000 or 1.5 % higher than the $3,133,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $441,000, $51,000 or 13.1% higher than quarterly net income of $390,000 earned in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Net interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $1,767,000 compared to $1,717,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Noninterest income was $494,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and $524,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Noninterest expense was $1,571,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and $1,623,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Total assets at December 31, 2004 were $ 188.6 million, compared to $ 193.2 million at June 30, 2004, as the Bank used a portion of the proceeds from security maturities to originate loans as well as paying off borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
