                      PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
               ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND INCREASE

         (Sidney,   Ohio:   NASD-NMS  "PSFC")  Douglas  Stewart,   President  of
Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation,  parent company of Peoples Federal Savings
and Loan  Association,  announced today the Company's first quarter earnings for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998.

         Net income was $338,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997,
or $.20 per share,  compared to ($97,000)  for the three months ended  September
30, 1996.  The negative  September 30, 1996 earnings were a direct result of the
one time SAIF deposit  insurance  assessment which impacted earnings by $301,000
after tax.  Absent the SAIF  assessment,  September 30, 1996 quarterly  earnings
would have been $204,000.  The comparison,  net of the SAIF assessment,  shows a
positive  gain of $134,000 to income for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997.
The  Company's  subsidiary,   Peoples  Federal  Savings  and  Loan  Association,
converted to a stock form of organization in April 1997.

         The Board of Directors  also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.07
per share for stockholders of record on October 24, 1997. This represents a $.02
increase  in  dividends  compared to the  divided  paid on August 6, 1997.  This
dividend will be payable November 7, 1997.

         Peoples  Federal  serves  Shelby  County,  Ohio through its main office
located at 101 East Court Street, Sidney. The Company had $103 million in assets
and $26 million in shareholders' equity as of September 30, 1997.
