                       PEOPLES OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                               FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
                                   FISCAL 2005

Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for
Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported earnings of $1,790,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $159,000, or 9.7%, from the $1,631,000
reported for the same period in fiscal 2004. Basic earnings per share were $0.25
for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.22 for the year ended June 30,
2004. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the year ended June 30,
2005, compared to $0.22 the year ended June 30, 2004.

Net interest income was $7,134,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, $183,000 or
2.6%, greater than the $6,951,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Total interest income remained steady at $11,060,000 for the year ended June 30,
2005, compared to the $11,095,000 reported during the year ended June 30, 2004,
as increases in average loans outstanding were offset by declines in the average
yield on those loan s. The decline in interest income was offset by a $218,000
or 5.3% reduction in interest expense during the same period primarily due to
depositors shifting their deposits from higher rate certificates of deposit to
lower rate demand deposit accounts.

Noninterest income was $2,072,000 for fiscal 2005, compared to the $2,174,000
recorded for the year ended June 30, 2004, primarily due to two factors. During
fiscal 2004, the Company recognized a $68,000 gain on the sale of securities. No
sales of securities occurred during fiscal 2005. In addition, the Company
experienced an $89,000 decline in revenue generated from fiduciary activities
during 2005.

Noninterest expense was $6,405,000 for the year ended 2005 compared to the
$6,420,000 reported for the year ended June 30, 2004, as management continued
its focus on controlling noninterest expense.

Total assets at June 30, 2005 were $199.9 million, compared to $193.2 million at
June 30, 2004, as the Bank used proceeds from maturities in its investment
security portfolio and growth in deposits to fund loan growth and repay
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.

Peoples Ohio Financial Corp. stock is traded over the counter under the symbol
