MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. ("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 Bank 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. Management is 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, the Company 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 the Bank the
opportunity to attract new customers from the Danville area.
Also during 1998, the Bank acquired land in Sugarcreek, Ohio for the purpose
of building a branch facility. The Bank anticipates construction to begin in
the spring of 1999 with completion anticipated in late 1999 or early 2000.
This new location will give the Bank a presence in the Sugarcreek, Ohio area
and allow the Bank the opportunity to attract new customers in this area.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
For 1998 Killbuck posted net income of $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million
for 1997 and $2.7 million for 1996.
Other operating income was $558,000 for 1998 compared to $449,000 for 1997 and
$439,000 for 1996.
Total other operating expenses were $4.6 million in 1998 compared to $4.0
million in 1997 and $3.8 million in 1996.
Earnings per share for 1998 were $4.37 compared to $4.52 for 1997 and $4.10
for 1996. These earnings per share are adjusted for the 5 for 1 stock split
in 1998 and for the additional shares issued due to the merger in 1998.

NET INTEREST INCOME
The Company's net interest income increased by $252,000 in 1998 from 1997 and
$524,000 in 1997 from 1996.
Total interest income increased by $800,000 or 5% for 1998 from 1997. The
increase of $800,000 for 1998 resulted primarily from an increase of $553,000
in interest income on loans and $268,000 in interest income on Federal Funds
sold. The increase in loan and Federal Funds sold interest income resulted
primarily from an increase in the average outstanding balance of the loan
portfolio of $7.7 million and an increase in the average outstanding balance
of Federal Funds sold of $5.2 million.
The increase in loan volume served to offset the reduction in the current
yield on the loan portfolio which declined 14 basis points to 9.47%. The
decline in yield is due to a general decline in long-term interest rates,
combined with increased competition for loan customers. Should the current
interest rate environment prevail and the level of competition continue, it is
possible the overall yield on the loan portfolio will decline further.
Total interest income increased by $1.2 million or 9% for 1997 from 1996 due
mainly to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the loan and
investment portfolios of $7.5 million and $9.0 million respectively.
The yield on earning assets was 8.06%, 8.26% and 8.38% for 1998, 1997 and 1996
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 1998 increased by $548,000 from 1997 and by $718,000 for
1997 from 1996. These increases were due mainly to increases in the average
volume of interest bearing liabilities which rose $10.7 million during 1998
and $14.9 million during 1997. The average volume of time deposit and Federal
Home Loan Bank advances increased $6.9 million and $2.3 million respectively
in 1998 while time deposits, interest bearing demand and money market, and
Federal Loan Bank advances increased $5.7 million, $5.1 million and $2.6
million respectively for 1997.
The cost on interest bearing liabilities was 4.85% for 1998 and 4.83% for 1997
and 1996. The slight increase for 1998 is due to an increase in the
percentage of higher yield paying categories of time deposits and Federal Home
Loan Bank advances for 1998.
As a result of the decrease in the yield on total earning assets and the
slight increase in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, the net yield on
earning assets has decreased the last three years. The net yield on interest
earning assets is 4.09%, 4.27% and 4.41% for 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information
regarding the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning
assets and the resulting average yields, the total dollar amount of interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting average rate paid,
net interest income, interest rate spread and the net yield on interest-
earning assets (dollars in thousands):

Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest
income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. 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).

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $183,000 for 1998 and $180,000 for both 1997
and 1996. Management makes 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 1.34%, 1.43% and
1.42% for 1998, 1997 and 1996 repectively.
Other Income
Other income, which is comprised principally of fees and charges on customers'
deposit accounts increased $109,000 or 24% to $558,000 in 1998 from $449,000
in 1997, and increased $10,000 or 2% in 1997 from 1996. The Bank started to
sell fixed rate loans in the secondary market in late 1997. Gains for these
sales were $42,000 in 1998 and $2,000 in 1997. Income from the alternative
investment service the Bank introduced in 1997 was $31,000 for 1998 and
$11,000 for 1997. Service charges on customer accounts increased $33,000 or
9% in 1998 due to increased deposit activity.
- -12-
Other Expense
Other expense increased $538,000 or 13% to $4.6 million in 1998 as compared to
$4.0 million in 1997 and increased $237,000 or 6% for 1997 from $3.8 million
in 1996.
Salary and employee benefits for 1998 totaled $2.3 million, an increase of
$273,000 or 13% from $2.0 million in 1997 and increased $80,000 for 1997 or 4%
from $1.9 million in 1996. Of this total increase for 1998, hospitalization
costs accounted for $63,000 or 23% of the increase. This was due to an
increase in the amount of self funded insurance costs paid by the Bank in
1998. Also, approximately $16,000 represents the effect of a part year's
expense associated with new employees due to the merger with Commercial and
Savings Bank Company in November, 1998. Normal recurring employee cost
increases for annual salary increases, staff additions and pension benefits
accounted for the remaining increase for 1998 and all of the increase for
1997. For 1999, in addition to normal recurring salary and benefit
adjustments, it is expected salary and benefit costs will increase due to a
full year of additional employees caused by the merger and additional staff
for the new branch office in Sugarcreek, Ohio.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $27,000 in 1998 and $68,000 in 1997.
These expense increases were attributable to normal and recurring items for
1998. The increase of $68,000 in 1997 was primarily due to increases in
depreciation and maintenance on additional furniture and equipment for 1997.
For 1999 occupancy and equipment expense will increase due to the addition of
Danville office for a full year due to the merger in November, 1998 and a new
branch office in Sugarcreek, Ohio in 1999.
Other expenses for 1998 totaled $1.6 million, a $238,000 or 17% increase from
the $1.4 million reported in 1997 and an $88,000 or 7% increase for 1997 from
the 1996 total of $1.3 million. The major increases in 1998 were in
professional fees of $44,000 and other expenses of $141,000. The increase in
professional fees of $44,000 is mainly attributed to costs of becoming a
securities and exchange registrant in 1998. The increase in other expenses
for 1998 were brought about by merger expenses of $66,000 and those items that
are normal and recurring in nature. The increase of $72,000 in 1997 from 1996
in other expenses is attributable to items normal and recurring in nature.
For 1999, in addition to normal recurring increases in other expense, the
amortization of intangible assets due to the merger will increase other
expenses by approximately $111,000 and other expense will also increase due to
the addition of the Danville office for a full year and the new branch in
Sugarcreek, Ohio.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased by $91,000 for 1998 to $1.0 million from $1.1
million in 1997 and increased $39,000 in 1997 from $1.1 million in 1996. The
effective rate on taxes for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was 25.8%, 26.9% and 28.0%
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, 1998 and 1997
Total assets at December 31, 1998 amounted to $232.0 million, an increase of
$34.1 million compared to $197.9 million at December 31,1997. This increase
of $34.1 million represents growth by the Bank of $17.0 million or 9% during
1998 and an increase of $17.1 million caused by the merger of Commercial and
Savings Bank Company with and into Killbuck Savings Bank Company.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.6 million or 52% from December 31, 1997
to December 31, 1998, with liquid funds held in the form of federal funds sold
increasing $6.9 million. Approximately $1.3 million of the total increase to
cash and cash equivalents was due to the merger. The increase in federal
funds sold at December 31, 1998 is due to the slowdown in loan growth and the
current investment interest rate environment.
Total investment securities increased $8.3 million or 14% from December 31,
1997 to December 31, 1998. Approximately $3.1 million of this total increase
was due to the merger. The increase in investments was funded by the increase
in deposit accounts in 1998. 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 $137.9 million at December 31, 1998 an increase of $15.9
million or 13% from $122.0 million at December 31, 1997. Approximately $10.7
million of this total increase was due to the merger. Of this $10.7 million
approximately $8.4 million was in residential real estate loans. The Bank's
generated loan growth in 1998 was primarily from the commercial and other loan
category. This segment of the loan portfolio increased approximately $4.0
million or 77% of the Bank's $5.2 million loan growth.
- -13-
Late in 1997 the Bank began to offer residential mortgage customers a new
fixed rate product. This program enables the Bank to offer competitive long-
term fixed rates. These loans are made with the intent to sell in the
secondary loan market. The Bank originated $4.9 million and $282,000 of loans
in 1998 and 1997 respectively. Profit on the sale of these loans was $42,000
and $2,000 for 1998 and 1997 respectively.
Total deposits increased $28.2 million or 17% from December 31, 1997 to
December 31, 1998. Approximately $13.9 million of this total increase was due
to the merger. The largest increase in the Bank's generated deposit growth
was in the time deposit accounts. Time deposits increased approximately $9.9
million or 69% of the Bank's total $14.3 million deposit growth. Management
attributes this increase to current depositors transferring deposits from
interest bearing accounts to time accounts and new customers opening time
deposit accounts due to the current competitive rates being offered by the
Bank. See also, "Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Analysis" for
information related to the average amount and average interest paid on deposit
accounts during 1998 and 1997. Information related to the maturity of time
deposits of $100,000 and over at December 31, 1998 is presented in Note 8 of
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Advances were $8.6 million and $8.7 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997
respectively. The borrowings are used to fund fixed rate residential real
estate loans with similar maturities. New borrowings totaled $1.5 million and
$4.6 million in 1998 and 1997 respectively.
Shareholders' equity increased $5.3 million during 1998 to $27.4 million at
December 31, 1998 from $22.1 million at December 31, 1997. This increase was
the result of $2.2 million net retained earnings during the year and an
increase of $3.1 million in capital due to the merger of Commercial Savings
Bank Company with and into Killbuck Savings Bank Company. In May, 1998 the
Company had a 5 for 1 stock split and in November, 1998 issued 43,431 shares
in conjunction with the merger.
Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management
The Bank's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser
extent, liquidity risk. Because of the nature of the Bank's operations, the
Bank is not subject to currency exchange or commodity price risk and, since
the Bank has no trading portfolio, it is not subject to trading risk.
Currently, the Bank has equity securities that represent only 1.65% of its
investment portfolio and, therefore, equity price risk is not significant.
The Bank actively manages interest rate sensitivity and asset/liability
products through an asset/liability management committee. The principle
purposes 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, the Bank has
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, the Bank has originated adjustable-rate loans
and as of December 31, 1998, they comprised approximately 62% of the total
loan portfolio.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Company's ability to meet normal cash flow
requirements of its 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 $3.2 and 3.3 million
in cash during 1998 and 1997 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 $9.6 million
in funds during 1998, 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. For 1997, investing
activities used $13.0 million, principally for the net funding of loans and
the net purchase of investments totaling $5.9 million and $7.0 million
respectively.
- -14-
Financing activities consisted of the solicitation and repayment of customer
deposits, borrowings and repayments and the payment of dividends. For 1998,
financing activities provided $14.0 million, comprised mainly of net deposit
increases of $14.3 million. For 1997 financing activities provided $12.1
million, comprised mainly of net deposit increases of $6.4 million, net
Federal Home Loan Bank advance increases of $3.9 million and net short-term
borrowing increases of $2.7 million.
In addition to using the loan, investment and deposit portfolios as sources of
liquidity, the Company has access to funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati. The Company also has a ready source of funds through the
available-for-sale component of the investment securities portfolio.
Capital Resources
Capital adequacy is the ability of the Company 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.
Management continually monitors these capital requirements and believes the
Company to be in compliance with these regulations at December 31, 1998.
The Bank's regulatory capital position at December 31, 1998, as compared to
the minimum regulatory capital requirements imposed on the Bank by banking
regulators at that date is presented in Note 16 of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Management is not aware of any actions
contemplated by banking regulators which would result in the Bank 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.

Year 2000 Evaluation
Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the Bank's operations.
Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits of the
year entered (a common programming practice in prior years) are expected to
read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 or as zero and incorrectly
attempt to compute payment, interest, delinquency and other data. The Bank
has been evaluating both information technology (computer systems) and non-
information technology systems (e.g. vault timers, electronic door lock and
elevator controls). Based upon such evaluations, management has determined
that the Bank has year 2000 risk in three areas: (1) Bank's own computer and
software, (2) computers of others used by the Bank's borrowers, and (3)
computers of others who provide the Bank with processing of certain services.
BANK'S OWN COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE. The Bank has spent approximately $33,000
through December 31, 1998 to upgrade its computer system and software. The
upgrade is expected to eliminate the year 2000 risk. The Bank does not expect
to have material costs to address this risk in 1999. The Bank expects, though
there is no assurance, to be year 2000 compliant in this risk area by March
31, 1999. However, if such modifications are not made or completed on a
timely basis, the year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Bank.
COMPUTERS OF OTHERS USED BY OUR BORROWERS. The Bank has evaluated most of
their borrowers and does not believe the year 2000 problem should, on an
aggregate basis, impact their ability to make payments to the Bank. The Bank
believes that most of their residential borrowers are not dependent on their
home computers for income and that none of their commercial borrowers are so
large that a year 2000 problem would render them unable to collect revenue or
rent and, in turn, continue to make loan payments to the Bank. The Bank does
not expect any material costs to address this risk area and believes they will
be year 2000 compliant in this risk area by March 31, 1999.
COMPUTERS OF OTHERS WHO PROVIDE US WITH PROCESSING OF CERTAIN SERVICES. This
risk is primarily focused on vendors who provide the Bank processing services
in the areas of credit cards, individual retirement accounts and automatic
teller machine transactions. All of these vendors have represented to the
Bank that they are year 2000 compliant.
CONTINGENCY PLAN. The Bank has continually monitored its year 2000 situation
by thoroughly assessing its systems and programs. Although the Bank
anticipates its systems and programs to be year 2000 compliant by March 31,
1999, a contingency plan is being developed and is expected to be completed by
June 30, 1999. As part of the contingency plan, an agreement with Bankers
Systems has been executed. This agreement includes a provision for supplying
the Bank with forms necessary for day-to-day operations should the computer
based loan and deposit documentation systems fail.

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, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Killbuck Bancshares, Inc.
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 Company include its wholly owned
subsidiary, the Bank. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
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 could
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 to
hold to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and
accretion of discount which are computed using a method which approximates 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 for 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 Held for Sale
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.
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.
- -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 generally of smaller balances, and a homogeneous nature, thus 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
Land is carried at cost. Other premises and equipment are carried at cost net
of 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.
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.
Goodwill of $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.
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
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." In adopting
Statement No. 130, the Company is required to present comprehensive income and
its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements for all
periods presented. The Company has elected to report the effects of Statement
No. 130 as part of the Consolidated 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 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $7,809,677, $7,359,808, and
$6,633,764, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for 1998, 1997, and
1996 were $1,055,913, $1,081,332, and $1,111,330 respectively.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." 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
securities 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, 1999. Earlier adoption is permitted for
any fiscal quarter that begins after the issue date of this Statement.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement
of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This SOP, which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, provides guidance on
accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use and provides guidance for determining whether computer software
is for internal use. The Company will adopt SOP 98-1 in the first quarter of
1999 and does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.
Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
Certain amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on 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. Per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been restated to reflect the stock split.

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, 1998 are as
follows:
Year Ending

2003 590,644
2004 and thereafter 6,001,492
-----------
Total $ 8,587,302
===========
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, 1998 and 1997 the Bank had a borrowing capacity of
approximately $17.0 and $15.9 million, respectively with the FHLB. At
December 31, 1998 and 1997 there was $8,587,302 and $8,745,174, respectively
borrowed against this credit arrangement.
11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
In 1997 the Bank adopted 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 1998 and 1997 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 1998, 1997 and
1996 amounted to $153,374, $136,666 and $133,074, respectively.

as evidenced by the Company's earnings potential.

14. 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:
1998 1997
----------- -----------
Commitments to extend credit $17,872,990 $14,754,471
Standby letters of credit 607,681 647,731
----------- -----------
Total $18,480,671 $15,402,202
=========== ===========
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 generaly 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 1998 or 1997.
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 1999, without the approval of the regulatory authorities, is
$4,286,668 plus 1999 profits retained up to the date of the dividend
declaration.
Included in cash and due from banks are required federal reserves of
$1,124,000 and $1,081,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997.
- -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, 1998 and 1997, that the Company and Bank meets
all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 1998, 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):
1998 1997

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in
an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or
deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on
potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
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
The fair value of securities held to maturity and available for sale is 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. The carrying value, represented by the
net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit,
and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee
over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for
disclosure. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of
credit are presented previously in the commitments and contingent liabilities
note.
