                       PEOPLES OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                               FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
                            THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2005

Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for
Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported earnings of $1,303,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2005, a decline of $6,000, or 0.46%, from the $1,309,000
reported for the same period in 2004. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share
were $0.18 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $0.18 and
$0.17, respectively for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

Net interest income was $5,276,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005,
$43,000 or 0.82%, greater than the $5,233,000 reported for the nine months ended
March 31, 2004. 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 $8,223,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2005 a decline of $199,000, or 2.36% from the $8,422,000
reported during the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This decline was
attributable to a decline in average loans outstanding, which were $156.7
million during the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $164.0
million during the same nine month period in 2004. The average yield earned on
loans for each of the nine-month periods was stable, declining 9 basis points
from the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 to 2005. The decline in interest
income was offset by a $242,000 or 7.59% decline in interest expense during the
same period and was primarily due to a decline in the average balance of Federal
Home Loan Bank borrowings during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 in
comparison to the same period during 2004.

Noninterest income was $1,512,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2005,
compared to the $1,583,000 recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, as
increases in overdraft income accounts of $33,000, were more than off-set by a
decline in revenue generated by trust operations of $72,000.

Noninterest expense was $4,765,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2005,
$32,000 or .67 % less than the $4,797,000 reported for the nine months ended
March 31, 2004.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $440,000, $35,000 or 8.65%
greater than net income of $405,000 earned in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.
Net interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $1,790,000 compared
to $1,743,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Noninterest income was
$475,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and $534,000 for the third quarter
of fiscal 2004. Noninterest expense was $1,584,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 2005 and $1,664,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

Total assets at March 31, 2005 were $189.9 million, compared to $193.2 million
at June 30, 2004, as the Bank used a portion of the proceeds from security
maturities and growth in customer deposit accounts to originate loans as well as
reducing borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

This earnings report may contain certain forward-looking statements, which are
based on management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and
regulatory issues that may impact the Company's earnings in future periods.
Factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current
management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values, and
competition, changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines, changes
in legislation or regulation, and other economic, competitive, governmental,
regulatory and technological factors affecting the Company's operations,
pricing, products and services.
