                      PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include accounts of Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation ("Peoples") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association
("Association"), a federal stock savings and loan association, together referred
to as the Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated.

These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Corporation at September 30, 2002
and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of
Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary
financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the
circumstances, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of the Corporation for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2002, included in the Corporation's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Reference is made to the accounting
policies of the Corporation described in the notes to consolidated financial
statements contained in such report. The Corporation has consistently followed
these policies in preparing this Form 10-QSB.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The Corporation provides financial services through its
main office in Sidney, Ohio, and branch offices in Sidney, Anna and Jackson
Center, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term
certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage,
commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by
specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and
commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be
repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Substantially all revenues
and services are derived from financial institution products and services in
Shelby County and contiguous counties. Management considers the Corporation to
operate primarily in one segment, banking.

USE OF ESTIMATES: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes
estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and
assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan
losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to
change.

INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to
be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the
current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets
and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax
amounts for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis
of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation
allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shares are considered outstanding
for this calculation unless unearned. Management recognition plan ("MRP") shares
are considered outstanding as they become vested. Diluted EPS shows the dilutive
effect of MRP shares and the additional common shares issuable under stock
options.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the accounting for
such assets arising from prior and future business combinations. Upon the
adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations will no
longer be amortized, but rather will be assessed regularly for impairment, with
any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period
identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible
assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The
Corporation was required to adopt this Statement on July 1, 2002. The adoption
of this Statement did not have an impact on the Corporation's financial
statements, because the Corporation does not have any intangible assets.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Asset Retirement Obligations." The provisions of
this standard apply to asset retirements beginning July 1, 2002. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material affect on the Corporation's financial
position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which amends SFAS No. 121 by addressing business
segments accounted for as a discontinued operation under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30. This Statement was effective July 1, 2002. The effect of
this Statement on the financial position and results of operations of the
Corporation was not material.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". This Statement addresses the timing of
recognition of a liability for exit and disposal cost at the time a liability is
incurred, rather than at a plan commitment date, as previously required. Exit or
disposal costs will be measured at fair value, and the recorded liability will
be subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. This Statement is
required to be effective for exit or disposal activities entered after December
31, 2002, and early adoption is encouraged. The Corporation does not believe
this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results
of operations.

SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions" became effective
October 1, 2002. This standard requires any unidentifiable intangible asset
previously recorded as the result of a business combination to be reclassified
as goodwill and the amortization of this asset will cease. The effect of this
standard on the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation
was not material, as the Corporation does not have any unidentified intangible
assets.

residential mortgage and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment.

As of September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, impaired loans were not material.

NOTE 4 - BORROWED FUNDS

At September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the Association had a cash management
line of credit enabling it to borrow up to $8,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB"). All cash management advances have an original
maturity of 90 days. The line of credit must be renewed on an annual basis.
There were $1,000,000 in outstanding borrowings on this line of credit at
September 30, 2002 and $500,000 in outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2002.

As a member of the FHLB system, the Association has the ability to obtain
borrowings up to a maximum total of $29,844,000 including the cash management
line of credit based upon the Corporation's current FHLB stock ownership.
However, the Association can obtain advances up to the lower of 50% of the
Association's total assets or 80% of the Association's pledgable residential
mortgage loan portfolio by purchasing more FHLB stock. Advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank were as follows.

Advances under the borrowing agreements are collateralized by a blanket pledge
of the Association's residential mortgage loan portfolio and its FHLB stock.

The interest rates on the convertible advances are fixed for a specified number
of years, then convertible to a variable rate at the option of the FHLB. If the
convertible option is exercised, the advance may be prepaid without penalty. The
select pay mortgage-matched advances require monthly principal and interest
payments and annual additional principal payments.

Maturities of FHLB advances for the next fives years and thereafter were as
follows.

NOTE 5 - OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ACTIVITIES

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is
probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management
does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of
credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs.
These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as
long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have
expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet
risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although
material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make
such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at
exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was
as follows.



                                                   September 30,                   June 30,

Commitments to make loans are generally made for a period of 30 days or less.
The maximum maturity for fixed-rate loan commitments was 20 years.

The Corporation also had unused commercial and home equity lines of credit
approximating $3,857,000 and $3,156,000 at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

At September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the Association was required to have
$1,591,000 and $1,700,000 on deposit with its correspondent banks as a
compensating clearing requirement.

The Association entered into employment agreements with certain officers of the
Corporation. The agreements provide for a term of one to three years and a
salary and performance review by the Board of Directors not less often than
annually, as well as inclusion of the employee in any formally established
employee benefit, bonus, pension and profit-sharing plans for which management
personnel are eligible. The agreements provide for extensions for a period of
one year on each annual anniversary date, subject to review and approval of the
extension by disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Association.
The employment agreements also provide for vacation and sick leave.

Unearned MRP shares and stock options granted did not have a dilutive effect on
EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 as the fair value of
the MRP shares on the date of grant and the exercise price of outstanding
options was greater than the average market price for the period. As of
September 30, 2002 and 2001, there were 140,824 options outstanding that were
not dilutive.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         -------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the consolidated
financial condition of the Corporation as of September 30, 2002, compared to
June 30, 2002, and results of operations for the three months ended September
30, 2002, compared with the same period in 2001. This discussion is designed to
provide a more comprehensive review of operating results and financial position
than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2002 were $133.4 million compared to $134.9
million at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $1.5 million. The decrease in total
assets was due to a decrease in loans coupled with a similar decrease in
deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $459,000, primarily due to the purchase of
an available for sale security from excess funds in overnight deposits.

Securities available for sale increased $519,000 as a result of the purchase of
an additional security coupled with an increase in the fair market value of the
portfolio.

Loans decreased $1.6 million from $121.2 million at June 30, 2002 to $119.6
million at September 30, 2002. The decrease in loans was primarily in one- to
four-family residential loans, which decreased $2.5 million and land loans which
decreased $430,000 partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million in real
estate construction and development loans. The overall net decrease in total
loans is reflective of the low interest rate environment which has enticed
mortgage customers to shop for 30 year fixed rates products which are not
currently offered by the Association.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Corporation's consumer and commercial loan portfolio remained relatively
unchanged between June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002. Non-mortgage loans
remain a small portion of the entire loan portfolio and represented 6.8% and
6.7% of gross loans at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

Total deposits decreased $2.0 million from $94.8 million at June 30, 2002 to
$92.8 million at September 30, 2002. The largest decrease was in certificate
accounts which decreased $1.7 million. The Corporation also had decreases in
other deposit categories as NOW accounts decreased $209,000, noninterest-bearing
demand accounts decreased $124,000, and money market accounts decreased $55,000
while savings accounts increased $92,000. The overall decrease in deposit
accounts is reflective of the low interest rate environment as customers search
for higher rates or elect to spend rather than save.

Borrowed funds were $22.9 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $22.5
million at June 30, 2002. Borrowings at September 30, 2002 consisted of
short-term variable rate cash management advances, long-term fixed-rate
advances, convertible fixed-rate advances and select pay mortgage-matched
advances. Based on the FHLB stock owned by the Association at September 30,
2002, the Association had the ability to obtain borrowings up to a maximum total
of $29.8 million. However, the Association can obtain advances up to the lower
of 50% of the Association's total assets or 80% of the Association's pledgable
residential mortgage loan portfolio by purchasing more FHLB stock. Based upon
the 50% of total assets limitation, management estimates the maximum borrowing
capacity from the FHLB to be approximately $67.5 million at September 30, 2002.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The operating results of the Corporation are affected by general economic
conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and regulatory
policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. The Corporation's
cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and
general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by demand
for real estate loans and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by
interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and
availability of funds for lending activities.

The Corporation's net income primarily depends on its net interest income, which
is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets,
such as loans and securities and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The level of net interest income
is dependent on the interest rate environment and volume and composition of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is also
affected by provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on the sale of
assets and other income, noninterest expense and income taxes.

NET INCOME. The Corporation earned net income of $213,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $138,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase
in net interest income partially offset by a slight increase in noninterest
expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income totaled $1,107,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $971,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase was the result of a decrease in interest
expense on deposits and borrowed funds partially offset by a decrease in
interest income on loans.

Interest and fees on loans decreased $209,000, or 8.7% from $2,408,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 to $2,199,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a lower
average yield earned on loans due to the lower interest rate environment.

                                   (Unaudited)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest on demand, time and overnight deposits decreased due to lower average
balances of overnight deposits for the current three month period combined with
a decline in interest rates.

Interest paid on deposits decreased $335,000 or 28.8% from $1,164,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 to $829,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. The decrease resulted from a lower average interest rate
offset slightly by a higher average balance of deposits.

Interest paid on borrowed funds totaled $332,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $389,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. The decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds resulted from a lower
average balance of borrowed funds coupled with a decrease in the average rate
paid for borrowings.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan
losses in an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb
probable losses in the loan portfolio. While management utilizes its best
judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is
dependent upon a variety of factors, including the performance of the
Corporation's loan portfolio, the economy, changes in real estate values and
interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan
classifications. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as
the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs
have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level that is considered adequate
to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is
based on management's monthly review of the loan portfolio and consideration of
such factors as historical loss experience, general prevailing economic
conditions, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and
specific borrower considerations, including the ability of the borrower to repay
the loan and the estimated value of the underlying collateral.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2002
totaled $16,000 compared to $15,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. The allowance for loan losses totaled $719,000, or 0.58% of gross loans
receivable and 56.5% of total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2002,
compared with $708,000, or 0.57% of gross loans receivable and 66.1% of total
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2002. Charge-offs experienced by the Corporation
have primarily related to consumer and other non-real estate loans. The
Corporation's low historical charge-off history is the product of a variety of
factors, including the Corporation's underwriting guidelines, which generally
require a loan-to-value or projected completed value ratio of 80% for purchase
or construction of one- to four-family residential properties and 75% for
commercial real estate and land loans, established income information and
defined ratios of debt to income.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income includes service fees and other
miscellaneous income and totaled $34,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002 and $33,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense totaled $786,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $766,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $20,000. The increase was the result of
normal increases in compensation and benefits.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense totaled $125,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $85,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, representing an increase of $40,000. The increase in income
tax expense is reflective of the increase in net income for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30.
2001. The effective tax rate was 37.1% and 38.2% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents,
is a result of operating, investing and financing activities. These activities
are summarized below for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

The Corporation's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan repayments,
maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled
loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit
flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general
economic conditions and competition. The Association maintains investments in
liquid assets based on management's assessment of the (1) need for funds, (2)
expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4)
objectives of the asset/liability management program.

The Association also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB up to a maximum
total of $29,844,000 including the cash management line of credit based upon the
Corporation's current FHLB stock ownership. However, the Association can obtain
advances up to the lower of 50% of the Association's total assets or 80% of the
Association's pledgable residential mortgage loan portfolio by purchasing more
FHLB stock. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a
detail of the Corporation's borrowings from the FHLB at September 30, 2002.

At September 30, 2002, the Corporation had commitments to originate fixed-rate
commercial and residential real estate loans totaling $1,337,000 and
variable-rate nonresidential and residential real estate mortgage loans totaling
$143,000. Loan commitments are generally for 30 days. See Note 5 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of the Corporation's loan
commitments at September 30, 2002. The Corporation considers its liquidity and
capital reserves sufficient to meet its outstanding short and long-term needs.

The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal regulatory agencies. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Association must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Association's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Association's
capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about the Association's components, risk weightings and other
factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Corporation's financial statements. At September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002,
management believes the Association complies with all regulatory capital
requirements. Based on the Association's computed regulatory capital ratios, the
Association is considered well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002. No conditions or events have
occurred subsequent to the last notification by regulators that management
believes would have changed the Association's category.

At September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the Association's actual capital
levels, minimum required levels and levels to be considered "well capitalized"
were as follows.

Item 3.  Controls and Procedures
         -----------------------

With the participation and under the supervision of the Corporation's
management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, and within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly
report, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15(d)-14(c)) and, based on their evaluation, have concluded
that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no
significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation, including any corrective action with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
