("Killbuck" or the "Company") is the parent holding company for the Killbuck Savings Bank Company (the "Bank"). The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide information about the financial condition and results of operation of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, footnotes and other discussions appearing elsewhere in this annual report and the Company's Form 10-K. Certain information presented in this discussion and analysis and other statements concerning future performance, developments or events, and expectations for growth and market forecasts constitute forward-looking statements which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including interest rate fluctuations, changes in local or national economic conditions, and government and regulatory actions which might cause actual results to differ materially from stated expectations or estimates. OVERVIEW The reported results of the Company are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the industry, governmental policies and regulations and conditions in the markets for financial assets. We are not aware of any market or institutional trends, events or uncertainties that are expected to have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations. Net interest income is the largest component of net income, and consists of the difference between income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily affected by the volume, interest rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. During 1998, we completed the merger of Commercial and Savings Bank Company of Danville, Ohio with, and into the Bank. This merger will allow us to better serve our existing clients in this area, while allowing us the opportunity to attract new customers from the Danville area. In 1999 construction began on a new branch facility in Sugarcreek, Ohio. The branch opened for business in February, 2000. This new location will give us a presence in the Sugarcreek, Ohio area and allows us to develop new business and deposit relationships in this area. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY For 1999, we recorded net income of $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million for 1998 and $3.0 million for 1997. Other operating income was $646,000 for 1999 compared to $558,000 for 1998 and $449,000 for 1997. Total other operating expenses were $5.3 million in 1999 compared to $4.6 million in 1998 and $4.0 million in 1997. Earnings per share for 1999 were $4.28 compared to $4.37 for 1998 and $4.52 for 1997. These earnings per share are adjusted for the 5 for 1 stock split in 1998. 8 NET INTEREST INCOME Our net interest income increased by $736,000 in 1999 from 1998 and $252,000 in 1998 from 1997. Total interest income increased by $1,045,000 or 6.52% for 1999 from 1998. The increase of $1,045,000 for 1999 resulted primarily from an increase of $655,000 in interest income on loans and $461,000 in interest income on investment securities. The increases in loan and investment security interest income resulted primarily from increases in the average outstanding balances of the loan and investment portfolios of $13.0 million and $10.5 million respectively. The increase in loan volume served to offset the reduction in the current yield on the loan portfolio which declined .41 basis points to 9.06%. The decline in yield is due to a general decline in long-term interest rates, combined with increased competition for loan customers. Total interest income increased by $800,000 or 5.26% for 1998 from 1997 due mainly to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the loan and federal funds sold of $7.6 million and $5.2 million respectively. The yield on earning assets was 7.70%, 8.06% and 8.26% for 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The decrease in the yield on earning assets is attributable to the general decline in interest rates and increased competition for loans. Interest expense for 1999 increased by $308,000 from 1998 and by $548,000 for 1998 from 1997. These increases were due mainly to increases in the average volume of interest bearing liabilities which rose $17.3 million during 1999 and $10.7 million during 1998. The average volume of time deposits and interest bearing demand deposits increased $9.9 million and $5.4 million respectively in 1999 while time deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, and Federal Loan Bank advances increased $6.9 million, $1.2 million and $2.3 million respectively for 1998. The cost on interest bearing liabilities was 4.55% for 1999 and 4.85% for 1998, and 4.83% for 1997. The decrease for 1999 is due mainly to a decrease in the cost of time deposits of .34 basis points. Due mainly to a decrease in the yield on total earning assets, the net yield on earning assets has decreased the last three years. The net yield on interest earning assets was 4.00%, 4.09% and 4.27% for 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, the total dollar amount of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting rate paid, net interest income, interest rate spread and the net yield on interest-earning assets (dollars in thousands): 9 AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND NET INTEREST ANALYSIS For the Year Ended December 31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate -------- -------- ------ -------- -------- ------ -------- -------- ------ Assets Interest earning assets: Loans (1)(2)(3) $140,202 $ 12,698 9.06% $127,214 $ 12,043 9.47% $119,552 $ 11,490 9.61% Securities-taxable (4) 38,778 2,309 5.95% 33,800 2,070 6.12% 36,389 2,296 6.31% Securities-nontaxable 30,345 1,420 4.68% 24,857 1,201 4.83% 20,641 1,001 4.85% Securities-equity (4)(5) 1,137 72 6.33% 1,078 70 6.49% 1,008 65 6.45% Federal funds sold 11,115 570 5.13% 11,904 640 5.38% 6,749 372 5.51% -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest- earnings assets 221,577 17,069 7.70% 198,853 16,024 8.06% 184,339 15,224 8.26% -------- -------- -------- Noninterest-earning assets Cash and due from other Institutions 7,292 6,625 6,144 Premises and equipment, net 3,533 2,891 2,888 Accrued interest 1,301 1,164 1,549 Other assets 2,515 842 697 Less allowance for loan losses (1,939) (1,810) (1,694) -------- -------- -------- Total $234,279 $208,565 $193,923 ======== ======== ======== 10 AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND NET INTEREST ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) For the Year Ended December 31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate -------- -------- ------ -------- -------- ------ -------- -------- ------ Liabilities and Shareholders Equity Interest bearing liabilities: Interest bearing demand $ 27,102 $ 691 2.55% 21,655 $ 549 2.54% $ 20,464 523 2.56% Money market accounts 11,364 401 3.53% 15,364 620 4.04% 16,894 684 4.05% Savings deposits 26,583 829 3.12% 19,745 589 2.98% 19,421 552 2.84% Time deposits 104,202 5,660 5.43% 94,289 5,437 5.77% 87,375 5,091 5.83% Short term borrowings 3,090 86 2.78% 2,637 79 3.00% 1,147 39 3.40% Federal Home Loan Bank Advances 7,805 534 6.84% 9,132 618 6.77% 6,789 455 6.70% -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest bearing liabilities 180,146 8,201 4.55% 162,822 7,892 4.85% 152,090 7,344 4.83% Noninterest bearing liabilities: Demand deposits 25,144 21,290 20,174 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 751 838 592 Shareholder's equity 28,238 23,615 21,067 ------- ------- ------- Total $234,279 $208,565 $193,923 ======= ======= ======= Net interest income $ 8,868 $ 8,132 $ 7,880 ======== ======== ======= Interest rate spread (6) 3.15% 3.21% 3.43% ====== ====== ====== Net yield on interest earning assets (7) 4.00% 4.09% 4.27% ====== ====== ====== (1) For purposes of these computations, the daily average loan amounts outstanding are net of deferred loan fees.

For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (I) changes in volume (changes in average volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rates (changes in rate multiplied by old average volume). Changes which are not solely attributable to rate or volume are allocated to changes in rate due to rate sensitivity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (dollars in thousands). 1999 Compared to 1998 1998 Compared to 1997 --------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Due To Increase (Decrease) Due To --------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Volume Rate Net Volume Rate Net ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Interest income Loans $ 1,230 $ (575) $ 655 $ 736 $ (183) $ 553 Securities-taxable 305 (66) 239 (163) (63) (226) Securities-nontaxable 265 (46) 219 207 (7) 200 Securities-equities 4 (2) 2 4 1 5 Federal funds sold (42) (28) (70) 284 (16) 268 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total interest earning Assets 1,762 (717) 1,045 1,068 (268) 800 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Interest expense Interest bearing demand 138 4 142 30 (4) 26 Money market accounts (162) (57) (219) (61) (3) (64) Savings deposits 204 36 240 9 28 37 Time deposits 572 (349) 223 403 (57) 346 Short-term borrowing 14 (7) 7 51 (11) 40 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (90) 6 (84) 157 6 163 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total interest bearing Liabilities 676 (367) 309 589 (41) 548 ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net change in interest income $ 1,086 $ (350) $ 736 $ 479 $ (227) $ 252 ========= ========== ========= ========== ========== ========== PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $240,000 for 1999, $183,000 for 1998 and $180,000 for 1997. We make periodic provisions to the allowance for loan losses to maintain the allowance at an acceptable level commensurate with the credit risks inherent in the loan portfolio. There can be no assurances, however, that additional provisions will not be required in future periods. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.31%, 1.34% and 1.43% for 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. OTHER INCOME Other income, which is comprised principally of fees and charges on customers' deposit accounts, increased $88,000 or 15.9% to $646,000 in 1999 from $558,000 in 1998, and increased $108,000 or 24.02% in 1998 from 1997. Service charges on customer accounts increased $75,000 or 18.31% in 1999 due to increased deposit activity caused by the merger of Commercial and Savings Bank Company in late 1998 and increases in new deposit accounts. The Bank started to sell fixed rate loans in the secondary market in late 1997. Gains for these sales were $42,000 in 1999, $42,000 in 1998 and $2,000 in 1997. Income from the alternative investment service the Bank introduced in 1997 was $32,000 for 1999 and $31,000 for 1998 and $11,000 for 1997. 12 OTHER EXPENSE Other expense increased $745,000 or 16.28% to $5.3 million in 1999 as compared to $4.6 million in 1998 and increased $538,000 or 13.34% for 1998 from $4.0 million in 1997. Salary and employee benefits for 1999 totaled $2.6 million, an increase of $313,000 or 13.61% from $2.3 million in 1998 and increased $273,000 for 1998 or 13.47% from $2.0 million in 1997. This increase represents the effect of a full year's expense associated with new employees due to the merger with Commercial and Savings Bank Company in November, 1998 and normal recurring employee cost increases for annual salary increases, staff additions and employee benefits for 1999. The increase for 1998 was due to an increase in hospitalization insurance costs, effect of a part year's expense associated with new employees due to the merger in November, 1998 and normal recurring employee cost increases for annual salary increases, staff additions and employee benefits. For 2000, in addition to normal recurring salary, benefit adjustments and staff additions, it is expected salary and benefit costs will increase due to additional employees for the new branch office in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $97,000 in 1999 and $27,000 in 1998. The increase in expense during 1999 was attributable to a full year of occupancy and equipment expense on the Danville branch and additional improvements and equipment purchases for operations in 1999. For 1998, the increases were attributable to normal and recurring items. For 2000, it is expected occupancy and equipment expense will increase due to the addition of the new branch office in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Other expenses for 1999 totaled $2.0 million, a $334,000 or 20.51% increase from the $1.6 million reported in 1998 and a $238,000 or 17.09% increase for 1998 from the 1997 total of $1.4 million. The major increases in 1999 were in professional fees of $70,000 and other expenses of $225,000. The increase in professional fees of $70,000 is mainly attributed to costs associated with the completion of the merger and costs of becoming a securities and exchange registrant. The increase in other expense is due mainly to the recognition of a full year of goodwill amortization associated with the merger and increases in normal and recurring expenses associated with a new branch and existing branches. The increase of $238,000 in 1998 from 1997 in other expenses is attributable to increases in normal and recurring items and recognition of a partial year of amortization of goodwill and other costs associated with the merger . For 2000, in addition to normal recurring increases, other expense is expected to increase due to the addition of the new branch in Sugarcreek, Ohio. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense decreased by $79,000 for 1999 to $937,000 from $1.0 million in 1998 and decreased $92,000 in 1998 from $1.1 million in 1997. The effective rate on taxes for 1999, 1998 and 1997 was 23.7%, 25.9% and 26.9% respectively. The effective tax rate is affected by the amount of tax exempt income earned by the Company each year. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 Total assets at December 31, 1999 amounted to $243.2 million, an increase of $11.2 million compared to $232.0 million at December 31,1998. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.3 million or 24.12% from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999, with liquid funds held in the form of federal funds sold decreasing $6.5 million. The decrease in federal funds sold at December 31, 1999 was used to help fund loan and investment growth in 1999. Total investment securities increased $9.9 million or 14.91% from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. The increase in investments was funded by the increase in deposits and the decrease in federal funds in 1999. Information detailing the book value of the investment portfolio by security type and classification is present in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Total loans were $143.8 million at December 31, 1999 an increase of $5.9 million or 4.27% from $137.9 million at December 31, 1998. Of this $5.9 million increase approximately $5.0 million was in the consumer and credit loan portfolio. Of this $5.0 million increase, vehicle loans increased $2.1 million and consumer loans on vacant land increased $2.7 million. Late in 1997 we began to offer residential mortgage customers a new fixed rate product. This program enables us to offer competitive long-term fixed rates. These loans are made with the intent to sell in the secondary loan market. We originated and sold $4.7 million and $4.9 million of loans in 1999 and 1998. Profit on the sale of these loans was $42,000 for both 1999 and 1998. Information detailing the composition of the loan portfolio is presented in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. 13 Total deposits increased $9.7 million or 5.03% from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. All deposit accounts increased with the exception of money market accounts. The increases are attributable to new deposit account growth and internal growth for existing accounts. The decrease in money market accounts of $3.4 million in 1999 is due to a decrease in public fund accounts. See also, "Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Analysis" for information related to the average amount and average interest paid on deposit accounts during 1999 and 1998. Information related to the maturity of time deposits of $100,000 and over at December 31, 1999 is presented in Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Advances were $7.1 million and $8.6 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. These borrowings were used to fund fixed rate residential real estate loans with similar maturities. New borrowings totaled $-0- and $1.5 million in 1999 and 1998 respectively. Shareholders' equity increased $1.5 million during 1999 to $28.9 million at December 31, 1999 from $27.4 million at December 31, 1998. This increase was the result of an increase of $2.1 million in net retained earnings during the year and an unrealized loss on securities available for sale of $.6 million. MARKET RISK AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Because of the nature of our operations, we are not subject to currency exchange or commodity price risk and, since we have no trading portfolio, it is not subject to trading risk. Currently, we have equity securities that represent only 1.51% of its investment portfolio and, therefore, equity price risk is not significant. We actively manage interest rate sensitivity and asset/liability products through an asset/liability management committee. The principle objectives of asset-liability management are to maximize current net interest income while minimizing the risk to future earnings of negative fluctuations in net interest margin and to insure adequate liquidity exists to meet operational needs. In an effort to reduce interest rate risk and protect itself from the negative effects or rapid or prolonged changes in interest rates, we have instituted certain asset and liability management measures, including underwriting long-term fixed rate loans that are saleable in the secondary market, offering longer term deposit products and diversifying the loan portfolio into shorter term consumer and commercial business loans. In addition, since the mid-1980's, we have originated adjustable-rate loans and as of December 31, 1999, they comprised approximately 62% of the total loan portfolio. LIQUIDITY Liquidity represents our ability to meet normal cash flow requirements of our customers for the funding of loans and repayment of deposits. Liquidity is generally derived from the repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities, and the receipt of deposits. Management monitors liquidity daily, and on a monthly basis incorporates liquidity management into its asset/liability program. Operating activities, as presented in the statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, provided $3.4 and $3.2 million in cash during 1999 and 1998 respectively, generated principally from net income and depreciation and amortization. Investing activities consist primarily of loan originations and repayments, and investment purchases and maturities. These activities used $17.6 million in funds during 1999, principally for the net funding of loans and the net purchase of investments totaling $6.1 million and $11.0 million respectively. For 1998, investing activities used $9.6 million, principally for the net funding of loans and the net purchase of investments totaling $5.2 million and $5.4 million respectively, offset by $1.3 million of cash acquired in the merger. 14 Financing activities consisted of the solicitation and repayment of customer deposits, borrowings and repayments and the payment of dividends. For 1999, financing activities provided $8.9 million, comprised mainly of net deposit increases of $9.7 million, repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $1.5 million, net short-term borrowings increases of $1.6 million and payment of dividends of $.9 million. For 1998 financing activities provided $14.0 million, comprised mainly of net deposit increases of $14.3 million, net Federal Home Loan Bank advance repayments of $.2 million, net short-term borrowing increases of $.6 million and payment of dividends of $.7 million. In addition to using the loan, investment and deposit portfolios as sources of liquidity, we have access to funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. We also have a ready source of funds through the available-for-sale component of the investment securities portfolio. CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital adequacy is our ability to support growth while protecting the interests of shareholders and depositors. Bank regulatory agencies have developed certain capital ratio requirements, which are used to assist them in monitoring the safety and soundness of financial institutions. We continually monitor these capital requirements and believe the Company to be in compliance with these regulations at December 31, 1999. Our regulatory capital position at December 31, 1999, as compared to the minimum regulatory capital requirements imposed on us by banking regulators at that date is presented in Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We are not aware of any actions contemplated by banking regulators which would result in us being in non-compliance with capital requirements. IMPACT OF INFLATION CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this document, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. 15 YEAR 2000 The Company relies on computers to conduct its business and information systems processing. Industry experts were concerned that on January 1, 2000, some computers might not be able to interpret the new year properly, causing computer malfunctions. Some banking experts remain concerned that some computers may not be able to interpret additional dates in the year 2000 properly. The Company has operated and evaluated its computer operating systems following January 1, 2000 and has not identified any errors or experienced any computer system malfunctions. Nevertheless, the Company continues to monitor its computer operating systems to assess whether its systems are at risk of misinterpreting any future dates and will develop, if needed, appropriate contingency plans to prevent any potential system malfunction or correct any system failures. The Company has not been informed of any such problem experienced by its vendors or its customers. The Company will continue to monitor its significant vendors of goods and services and customers with respect to any Year 2000 problems they may encounter, as those issues may effect its ability to continue operations, or might adversely affect the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At this time, the Company does not believe that these potential problems will materially impact the ability to continue operations. However, no assurance can be given that this will be the case. 16 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ------------------------------ The Board of Directors and Shareholders Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ S.R.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements follows: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - ---------------------------------------------- Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is an Ohio corporation organized as the holding company of The Killbuck Savings Bank Company (the "Bank"). The Bank is a state-chartered bank located in Ohio. The Company and its subsidiary operate in the single industry of commercial banking and derive substantially all their income from banking and bank-related services which include interest earnings on residential real estate, commercial mortgage, commercial and consumer loan financing as well as interest earnings on investment securities and charges for deposit services to its customers through six locations. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System supervises the holding company and bank, while the Bank is also subject to regulation and supervision by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The investment in subsidiary on the parent company financial statements is carried at the parent company's equity in the underlying net assets. The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and related revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - --------------------- Investment securities are classified, at the time of purchase, based upon management's intention and ability, as securities held to maturity or securities available for sale. Debt securities acquired with the intent and ability to hold to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount which are computed using the level yield method. Certain other debt and equity securities have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax, until realized. Realized securities gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned. Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and Independent State Bank of Ohio represent ownership in institutions which are wholly-owned by other financial institutions. These securities are accounted for at cost and are classified with equity securities available for sale. LOANS - ----- Loans are stated at their outstanding principal, less the allowance for loan losses and any net deferred loan fees. Interest income on loans is recognized on the accrual method. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when it is determined that a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectibility of principal, interest, or both. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected, and the collection of principal is probable. Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans using the interest method. Amortization of deferred loan fees is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market value determined on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance through charges to income. Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are determined using the specific identification method. 22 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for potential losses in its loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to operations. The provision is based upon management's periodic evaluation of individual loans, the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term. Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company individually evaluates such loans for impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The definition of "impaired loans" is not the same as the definition of "nonaccrual loans," although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility, while not classifying the loan as impaired, provided the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate classification. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral. Mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances concerning the loan, the credit worthiness and payment history of the borrower, the length of the payment delay, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - ---------------------- Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. REAL ESTATE OWNED - ----------------- Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value minus estimated costs of sale. Prior to foreclosure the value of the underlying collateral is written down by a charge to the allowance for loan losses if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged against operating expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income and losses on their disposition, are included in other expenses. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES - --------------------------------- Goodwill represents the amount by which the market value of the stock issued in the merger of Commercial Saving Bank Co. (Commercial) of Danville, Ohio with and into The Killbuck Savings Bank Company exceeded the market value of the assets, liabilities and capital of Commercial on the date of the merger. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively, net goodwill of $1,550,790 and $1,661,561 is included in other assets on the balance sheet and is being amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Market value adjustments to various asset and liabilities accounts are being amortized using the straight-line method over the period to be benefited. The market value adjustments are components of their respective account balances on the balance sheet. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS - ----------------------- The Bank maintains an integrated money purchase pension plan and a 401(K) plan covering eligible employees. The Bank's contributions are based upon the plan's contribution formula. 23 INCOME TAXES - ------------ The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period. EARNINGS PER SHARE - ------------------ The Company currently maintains a simple capital structure; therefore, there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share. As such, earnings per share are calculated using the weighted number of shares for the period. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - -------------------- The Company is required to present comprehensive income in a full set of general purpose financial statements for all periods presented. Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised exclusively of unrealized holding gains (losses) on the available for sale securities portfolio. The Company has elected to report the effects of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. CASH FLOW INFORMATION - --------------------- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from financial institutions and federal funds sold. Cash payments for interest in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $8,229,575, $7,809,677, and $7,359,808, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for 1999, 1998, and 1997 were $960,417, $1,055,913, and $1,081,332 respectively. PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - --------------------------------- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended for in June, 1999 by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." The Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, by requiring the recognition of those items as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, recorded at fair value. Statement No. 133 precludes a held to maturity security from being designated as a hedged item; however, at the date of initial application of this Statement, an entity is permitted to transfer any held to maturity security into the available for sale or trading categories. The unrealized holding gain or loss on such transferred securities shall be reported consistent with the requirements of Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Such transfers do not raise an issue regarding an entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. This Statement applies prospectively for all fiscal quarters of all years beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier adoption is permitted for any fiscal quarter that begins after the issue date of this Statement. RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS - --------------------------------------- Certain amounts in prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on shareholders' equity or net income. During 1998, retroactive recognition was given for the elimination of the stated value of the Company's Common Stock. This caused the capital surplus to be reduced to zero, with the balance of $3,106,500 being reclassified to Common Stock. Such action had no effect on Total Shareholders' Equity disclosed previously. 2. STOCK SPLIT On April 13, 1998 the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the authorized common shares from 200,000 to 1,000,000 shares and also authorized a 5 for 1 stock split of common stock to shareholders of record on May 1, 1998.

Real estate loans serviced for Freddie Mac, which are not included in the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $900,691 at December 31, 1999. Total nonaccrual loans and the related interest for the years ended December 31 are as follows. In management's opinion, these loans did not meet the definition of impaired loans. 1999 1998 1997 ------------ ------------ ------------ Principal outstanding $ 287,017 $ 21,323 $ 120,805 Contractual interest due $ 19,969 $ 923 $ 6,120 Interest income recognized $ 0 $ 0 $ 7,000 The Company's primary business activity is with customers located within its local trade area. Residential, commercial, personal, and agricultural loans are granted. The Company also selectively funds loans originated outside of its trade area provided such loans meet its credit policy guidelines. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio at December 31, 1999 and 1998, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are dependent upon the local economic conditions in its immediate trade area. The Bank entered into transactions with certain directors, executive officers, significant stockholders, and their affiliates. A summary of loan activity for those directors, executive officers, and their associates with loan balances in excess of $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 is as follows: Balance Amounts Balance 12-31-1998 Additions Collected 12-31-1999 ---------- --------- --------- ---------- $ 293,210 $ 808,600 $ 243,471 $ 858,339 6.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings consists of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. These retail repurchase agreements are with customers in their respective loan market areas. These borrowings are collateralized with securities owned by the Bank and held in their safekeeping account at an independent correspondent bank. The outstanding balances and related information for short-term borrowings are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ Short-term borrowings: Ending balance $ 4,900,000 $ 3,335,000 Maximum month-end balance during the year 4,900,000 3,440,000 Average month-end balance during the year 3,275,567 2,763,000 Weighted average at year end 3.28% 2.58% Weighted average rate during the year 2.62% 2.88% The Company has pledged investment securities with carrying values of $5,803,550 and $4,013,900 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as collateral for the repurchase agreements. 28 10. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES The Federal Home Loan Bank advances have monthly principal and interest payments due with maturity dates from 2009 through 2017. Interest rates range from 6.00% to 8.90% on the advances. The scheduled aggregate minimum future principal payments on the advances outstanding as of December 31, 1999 are as follows: Year Ending December 31, Amount ------------ ---------- 2000 $ 822,116 2001 746,687 2002 681,181 2003 623,394 2004 572,636 2005 and thereafter 3,666,739 ---------- Total $7,112,753 ========== The Bank maintains a credit arrangement with Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio ("FHLB"). The FHLB borrowings, when used, are collateralized by the Bank's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock and a blanket collateral pledge agreement with FHLB under which the Bank has pledged certain qualifying assets equal to 150 percent of the unpaid amount of the outstanding balances. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Bank had a borrowing capacity of approximately $22.7 and $17.0 million, respectively with the FHLB. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 there was $7,112,753 and $8,587,302, respectively borrowed against this credit arrangement. 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Bank maintains an integrated money purchase pension plan and a 401(k) plan. Under the integrated money purchase pension plan contribution formula, the Bank, for each plan year, will contribute an amount equal to 8% of an employee's compensation for the plan year and 5.7% of the amount of an employee's excess compensation for the plan year. Excess compensation is a participant's compensation in excess of the designated integration level. This designated integration level is 100% of the taxable wage base in effect at the beginning of the plan year. The federal government annually adjusts the taxable wage base. This plan does not permit nor require employees to make contributions to the plan. The 401(k) plan allows employees to make salary reduction contributions to the plan up to 10% of their compensation for the plan year. For each plan year, the Bank may contribute to the plan an amount of matching contributions for a particular plan year. The Bank may choose not to make matching contributions for a particular plan year. For 1999 and 1998 the Bank matched 25% of the employees voluntary contributions up to 1% of the employee's compensation. Both plans cover substantially all employees with one year of service and attained age 21. The Bank terminated its defined benefit pension plan in 1997. This plan was funded by individually allocated retirement income and retirement annuity contracts. Assets of the plan equal cash values of the contracts. The allocated insurance contracts cash values fully guarantee the amount of benefit payments. This plan's assets were transferred to the respective individual's account in the integrated money purchase pension plan. The pension costs charged to operating expense for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $180,369, $153,374 and $136,666, respectively. 29 12.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES COMMITMENTS - ----------- In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheet. These commitments were comprised of the following at December 31: 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ Commitments to extend credit $ 13,014,017 $ 17,872,990 Standby letters of credit 964,224 607,681 ------------ ------------ Total $ 13,978,241 $ 18,480,671 ============ ============ Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company's policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit. The Company has not been required to perform any financial guarantees during the past two years. The Company has not incurred any losses on its commitments in either 1999 or 1998. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES - ---------------------- The Company and its subsidiary are subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. 15. REGULATORY MATTERS The approval of regulatory authorities is required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceeds net profits as defined for that year combined with its retained net profits for the two preceding calendar years less any required transfers to surplus. Under this formula, the amount available for payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company in 2000, without the approval of the regulatory authorities, is $4,040,650 plus 2000 profits retained up to the date of the dividend declaration. Included in cash and due from banks are required federal reserves of $2,225,000 and $1,124,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, for facilitating the implementation of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve System. The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed ratios to the classes of average deposit balances. These are held in the form of cash on hand and/or balances maintained directly with the Federal Reserve Bank. Federal law prevents the Company from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by specific obligations. Further, such secured loans are limited in amount to ten percent of the Bank's capital. The Company had no such borrowings at December 31, 1999 and 1998. 31 16. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, both entities must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by the regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, that the Company and Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the appropriate regulatory authority has categorized the Company and Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an entity must maintain minimum Total Risk-Based, Tier 1 Risk-Based and Tier 1 Leverage ratios at least 100 to 200 basis points above those ratios set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed this category. The consolidated capital position of the Company does not materially differ from the Banks, therefore, the following table sets forth the Company's capital position and minimum requirements as of December 31 (dollars in thousands): 1999 1998 ---------------------- ---------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) --------------------------------------- Actual $ 29,700 19.85% $ 27,432 19.64% For Capital Adequacy Purposes 11,970 8.00 11,173 8.00 To be well capitalized 14,962 10.00 13,967 10.00 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) ---------------------------------------- Actual $ 27,829 18.60% $ 25,685 18.39% For Capital Adequacy Purposes 5,985 4.00 5,587 4.00 To be well capitalized 8,977 6.00 8,380 6.00 Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) ---------------------------------- Actual $ 27,829 11.55% $ 25,68 5 11.25% For Capital Adequacy Purposes 9,641 4.00 9,134 4.00 To be well capitalized 12,052 5.00 11,418 5.00 17. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Other comprehensive income included in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity consists solely of net unrealized gains and losses on available for sales securities. The Company incurred an unrealized net loss for the period ended December 31, 1999 of $657,156. For the periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred unrealized net gains of $42,353 and $142,249, respectively. 32 18.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument. If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management's judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values. As certain assets and liabilities such as deferred tax assets and liabilities, premises and equipment and many other operational elements of the Company, are not considered financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company. The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions: CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD, ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, AND ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE - --------------------------------------------------- The fair value approximates the current carrying value. 33 INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE - --------------------------------------------- The fair value of investment securities and loans held for sale are equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities. LOANS, DEPOSITS, AND FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES - ---------------------------------------------------- The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using a simulation model which estimates future cash flows and constructs discount rates that consider reinvestment opportunities, operating expenses, non-interest income, credit quality, and prepayment risk. Demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year end. Fair values for time deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies contractual costs currently being offered in the existing portfolio to current market rates being offered for deposits and borrowings of similar remaining maturities. COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - ---------------------------------------------------------- These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available.
