Item 1.  Description of Business

General

         Peoples-Sidney  Financial  Corporation  (the  "Company")  is a Delaware
corporation  which  was  organized  in 1997 by  Peoples  Federal  Savings & Loan
Association of Sidney ("Peoples  Federal" or the  "Association") for the purpose
of  becoming a savings and loan  holding  company.  The Company  owns all of the
capital stock of the Association issued in connection with the completion of the
Association's  conversion from the mutual to stock form of organization on April
25, 1997.  Unless the context otherwise  requires,  all references herein to the
Company include the Company and the Association on a consolidated  basis, except
that  information  as of a date  prior to April  25,  1997  relates  only to the
Association.  The Association,  the Company's only subsidiary,  was organized in
1886 as an  Ohio-chartered  mutual  association  and  converted  to a  federally
chartered association in 1958.

         The  Association  is primarily  engaged in the  business of  attracting
savings  deposits from the general  public and investing such funds in permanent
mortgage  loans secured by one- to four-family  residential  real estate located
primarily  in  Shelby  County,  Ohio,  and the  contiguous  counties  of  Logan,
Auglaize, Miami, Darke and Champaign. The Association conducts business from its
main office in Sidney,  Ohio and its  full-service  branches in Anna and Jackson
Center, Ohio. The Association also originates loans for the construction of one-
to four-family real estate, loans secured by multi-family real estate (over four
units) and  nonresidential  real estate,  and consumer loans and invests in U.S.
government obligations, mortgage-backed and related securities, interest bearing
deposits in other  financial  institutions  and other  investments  permitted by
applicable law.

         The  Association's  operations  are  regulated  by the Office of Thrift
Supervision  (the "OTS").  The  Association is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System  ("FHLB  System")  and a  stockholder  of the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB")  of  Cincinnati.  The  Association  is  also a  member  of the  Savings
Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and its deposit  accounts are insured up to
applicable  limits  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC").
Accordingly,  the Association is also subject to regulation and oversight by the
FDIC.

         The  executive  offices  of the  Company  are  located  at 101 E. Court
Street, Sidney, Ohio 45365 and its telephone number is (937) 492-6129.

Forward-Looking Statements

         When used in this Form 10-KSB and in future filings by the Company with
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC"),  in the Company's  press
releases or other public or shareholder  communications,  and in oral statements
made with the approval of an authorized  executive officer, the words or phrases
"will likely  result,"  "are expected to," "will  continue,"  "is  anticipated,"
"estimate,"   "project"  or  similar   expressions   are  intended  to  identify
"forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties,  including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in
the  Company's  market  area,  changes  in  policies  by  regulatory   agencies,
fluctuations  in interest rates,  demand for loans in the Company's  market area
and  competition,  that could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from
<PAGE>
historical  earnings and those presently  anticipated or projected.  The Company
wishes  to  caution   readers   not  to  place   undue   reliance  on  any  such
forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date made.  The Company
wishes  to advise  readers  that the  factors  listed  above  could  affect  the
Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for
future periods to differ  materially  from any opinions or statements  expressed
with respect to future periods in any current statements.

         The  Company  does  not   undertake--and   specifically   declines  any
obligation--to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or  unanticipated
events.

Lending Activities

In addition, in order to increase the yield and/or the interest rate sensitivity
of its portfolio and in order to provide more  comprehensive  financial services
to families and businesses in the  Association's  primary  market area,  Peoples

         (1)  Includes  demand  loans,  loans  having  no  stated  maturity  and

      The total amount of loans due after June 30, 2000 which have predetermined
interest rates is $37,596,  while the total amount of loans due after such dates
which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $67,698.

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
         Under federal law, the aggregate  amount of loans that the  Association
is  permitted  to  make to any  one  borrower  is  generally  limited  to 15% of
unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the security for such loan has a "readily
ascertainable" value or 30% for certain residential  development loans). At June
30,  1999,  based  on  the  above  limitation,   the  Association's   regulatory
loan-to-one  borrower limit was approximately  $1.97 million.  On the same date,
the  Association  had no borrowers with  outstanding  balances in excess of this
amount.  As of June 30, 1999, the largest dollar amount of  indebtedness  to one
borrower or group of related borrowers was $1,045,000,  secured by multiple one-
to four-family real estate properties.  The next largest loan to one borrower or
group of related  borrowers had an  outstanding  balance of $833,000 at June 30,
1999 and is also secured by multiple one-to  four-family real estate properties.
As of June 30, 1999, such loans were performing in accordance with their terms.

         Loan  applications  are  accepted  by  salaried  loan  officers  at the
Association's  office.  Loan  applications  are  presented  for  approval to the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors or to the full Board of Directors,
depending on loan amount. All loans of $100,000 or more are approved by the full
Board of  Directors.  Decisions  on loan  applications  are made on the basis of
detailed applications and property valuations (consistent with the Association's
written  appraisal  policy),  by qualified  independent  appraisers  (unless the
Association's  exposure  will be $25,000  or less).  The loan  applications  are
designed  primarily to  determine  the  borrower's  ability to repay and include
length  of   employment,   past  credit   history  and  the  amount  of  current
indebtedness.  Significant  items on the application are verified through use of
credit reports,  financial  statements,  tax returns and/or  confirmations.  The
Association is an equal opportunity lender.

         Generally,  the Association requires an attorney's title opinion on its
mortgage  loans as well as fire and  extended  coverage  casualty  insurance  in
amounts  at least  equal to the  principal  amount  of the loan or the  value of
improvements  on the property,  depending on the type of loan.  The  Association
also requires flood insurance to protect the property securing its interest when
the property is located in a flood plain.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending

         The cornerstone of the Association's  lending program has long been the
origination of long-term  permanent loans secured by mortgages on owner-occupied
one- to four-family residences. At June 30, 1999, $84.2 million, or 79.5% of the
Association's   loan  portfolio,   consisted  of  permanent  loans  on  one-  to
four-family  residences.  At that date, the average outstanding residential loan
balance was $57,000 and the largest outstanding residential loan had a principal
balance of  $320,000.  Virtually  all of the  residential  loans  originated  by
Peoples Federal are secured by properties  located in the  Association's  market
area.

         Peoples Federal originates fixed-rate  residential loans in amounts and
at  rates  which  are   monitored   for   compliance   with  the   Association's
asset/liability   management  policy.   Currently,  the  Association  originates
fixed-rate  loans with  maturities  of up to 20 years for  retention  in its own
portfolio.  Limiting the  contractual  term to 20 years,  as opposed to the more
traditional  30 year period,  allows for  accelerated  principal  repayment  and
equity  build  up for the  borrower.  Currently,  all  such  loans  are  made on
owner-occupied  properties.  All fixed-rate  loans originated by the Association
are retained and serviced by it. At June 30,  1999,  the  Association  had $31.6
million  of  fixed-rate   permanent  one-to   four-family   residential   loans,
constituting 29.9% of the Association's loan portfolio at such date.
<PAGE>
         The  Association  has  offered  ARM  loans at rates,  terms and  points
determined in accordance with market and competitive  factors. The Association's
current one- to four-family  residential  ARMs are fully  amortizing  loans with
contractual maturities of up to 30 years. Applicants are qualified using a fully
indexed rate, and no ARMs allow for negative amortization. The interest rates on
the ARMs  originated by Peoples  Federal are generally  subject to adjustment at
one,  three,  and  five-year  intervals  based  on a margin  over the  analogous
Treasury  Securities  Constant  Maturity  Index.  Decreases  or increases in the
interest rate of the  Association's  ARMs are  generally  limited to 6% above or
below the  initial  interest  rate  over the life of the loan,  and up to 2% per
adjustment  period.  The Association's  ARMs are not convertible into fixed-rate
loans, and do not contain  prepayment  penalties.  ARM loans may be assumed on a
case by case basis with the Association's  consent.  At June 30, 1999, the total
balance  of  one- to  four-family  ARMs  was  $52.6  million,  or  49.7%  of the
Association's  loan  portfolio.  All  ARMs  originated  by the  Association  are
retained and serviced by it.


                                       -7-

<PAGE>
         The Association also offers the "7/1" ARM loan. This product  maintains
a constant  interest  rate and  payment  for the first  seven years of the loan.
Amortizable  for up to 30 years,  the loan will adjust  beginning  in the eighth
year,  subject  to the  rate  caps  discussed  above.  At  June  30,  1999,  the
Association had $140,000 in "7/1" loans.  In 1992, the  Association  initiated a
program specifically tailored to first time home buyers. These loans are made on
a five year adjustable  basis with a term up to 30 years.  The margin,  which is
lower than other products currently offered, is 200 basis points.  Additionally,
somewhat higher debt-to-income ratios are permitted,  although mandatory escrows
for taxes and insurance,  an acceptable credit rating and an employment  history
of at least one year are  required.  The maximum loan amount under this program,
which requires that the property be owner-occupied,  is currently $75,000, which
can be the lesser of the purchase price or 90% of appraised  value.  At June 30,
1999, the  Association had  approximately  $4.6 million of first-time home buyer
loans in its portfolio.

         As discussed  above,  the  Association  evaluates  both the  borrower's
ability to make  principal,  interest  and escrow  payments and the value of the
property  that will  secure the loan.  Peoples  Federal  originates  residential
mortgage loans with loan-to-value  ratios up to 90%. On mortgage loans exceeding
an 90%  loan-to-value  ratio at the time of  origination,  Peoples  Federal will
generally require private mortgage insurance in an amount intended to reduce the
Association's exposure to less than 90% of the appraised value of the underlying
property.

         The  Association's   residential  mortgage  loans  customarily  include
due-on-sale  clauses  giving  the  Association  the  right to  declare  the loan
immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things,  the borrower
sells or otherwise disposes of the property subject to the mortgage and the loan
is not repaid.

          The Association uses the same  underwriting  standards for home equity
lines of credit as it uses for one- to four-family  residential  mortgage loans.
The  Association's  home equity lines of credit are originated in amounts which,
together with the amount of the first  mortgage,  generally do not exceed 80% of
the appraised  value of the property  securing the loan.  At June 30, 1999,  the
Association  had  $251,000  of home  equity  lines of credit  and an  additional
$521,000 of additional funds committed, but undrawn, under such lines.

Construction and Development Lending

         The  Association  makes  construction  loans  to  individuals  for  the
construction  of their primary or secondary  residences and loans to builders or
developers for the construction of single-family  homes,  multi-family units and
commercial real estate  projects.  Loans to individuals for the  construction of
their  residences  typically run for 12 months.  The borrower pays interest only
during the construction  period.  Residential  construction  loans are generally
underwritten  pursuant to the same  guidelines  used for  originating  permanent
residential  loans. At June 30, 1999, the Association had 38 construction  loans
with  outstanding  aggregate  balances of $5.0  million  secured by  residential
property.  Of this amount,  $4.5 million in loans were  outstanding  directly to
borrowers  intending to live in the properties upon completion of  construction.
At that same date, the Association had three construction loans with outstanding
aggregate  balances  of  $495,000  secured  by one- to  four-family  residential
properties  constructed by builders who have pre-sold their houses to individual
purchasers.
<PAGE>
         The  Association  makes loans to builders and developers to finance the
construction  of residential  property.  Such loans  generally  have  adjustable
interest rates based upon prime or treasury  indexes with terms ranging from six
months to one year.  The proceeds of the loan are advanced  during  construction
based upon the percentage of completion as determined by an inspection. The loan
amount normally does not exceed 90% of projected  completed value for homes that
have been  pre-sold to the  ultimate  occupant.  For loans to  builders  for the
construction  of homes  not yet  presold,  which may  carry a higher  risk,  the
loan-to-value  ratio is generally  limited to 80%.  Whether the  Association  is
willing to provide  permanent  takeout financing to the purchaser of the home is
determined  independently of the construction loan by separate underwriting.  In
the event that upon completion the house is not sold, the builder is required to
make principal and interest  payments  until the house is sold. The  Association
also makes a limited  number of  commercial  real estate  construction  loans on
substantially  the same terms as loans to builders and developers to finance the
construction of residential property.

         Development  loans,  which include loans to develop vacant or raw land,
are made to various  builders and developers  with whom the  Association has had
long-standing relationships. All of such loans are secured by land zoned

                                       -8-

<PAGE>
for residential  developments and located within the Association's  market area.
Proceeds are used for excavation,  utility  placements and street  improvements.
Disbursements  related to acquisition and  development  land loans are typically
based on the construction cost estimate of an independent  architect or engineer
who inspects the project in connection with significant  disbursement  requests.
As lots are sold, a portion of the sale price is applied to the principal of the
outstanding loan. Interest payments are required at regular intervals (quarterly
or semi-annually)  and loan terms typically are written for three years. At June
30, 1999, the Association had $956,000,  or 0.9% of gross loans  receivable,  in
this category.

         Construction and development  lending generally affords the Association
an opportunity to receive  interest at rates higher than those  obtainable  from
residential  lending and to receive higher  origination  and other loan fees. In
addition,   such  loans  are  generally   made  for   relatively   short  terms.
Nevertheless,  construction  lending to persons  other than  owner-occupants  is
generally  considered  to  involve a higher  level of  credit  risk than one- to
four-family  permanent residential lending due to the concentration of principal
in a limited  number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general  economic
conditions on construction  projects,  real estate  developers and managers.  In
addition,  the  nature of these  loans is such that they are more  difficult  to
evaluate  and  monitor.  The  Association's  risk of loss on a  construction  or
development loan is dependent  largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate
of the  property's  value upon  completion of the project and the estimated cost
(including  interest)  of the  project.  If the  estimate of value  proves to be
inaccurate,  the Association  may be confronted,  at or prior to the maturity of
the loan,  with a project  with a value  which is  insufficient  to assure  full
repayment  and/or the possibility of having to make  substantial  investments to
complete  and sell the  project.  Because  defaults in  repayment  may not occur
during the construction period, it may be difficult to identify problem loans at
an early stage.  When loan payments  become due, the cash flow from the property
may not be adequate to service the debt. In such cases,  the  Association may be
required to modify the terms of the loan.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

           The Association's  commercial real estate loan portfolio  consists of
loans  secured  by a variety  of  non-residential  properties  including  retail
facilities,  small office buildings,  farm real estate and churches. At June 30,
1999, the Association's largest commercial real estate loan totaled $692,000. At
that date, the Association  had 77 commercial  real estate loans,  totaling $9.4
million or 8.9% of gross loans receivable.

         The  Association   has  originated  both   adjustable-  and  fixed-rate
commercial real estate loans, although most current originations have adjustable
rates. Rates on the Association's  adjustable-rate  commercial real estate loans
generally  adjust  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  Association's  one-  to
four-family  residential  ARMs,  although five year  adjustment  periods are not
currently  offered.  Commercial real estate loans are generally  underwritten in
amounts of up to 75% of the appraised value of the underlying property.
<PAGE>
         Appraisals  on  properties   securing   commercial  real  estate  loans
originated by the Association are performed by a qualified independent appraiser
at the time  the  loan is made.  In  addition,  the  Association's  underwriting
procedures  generally  require  verification  of the borrower's  credit history,
income and financial statements,  banking  relationships,  references and income
projections for the property. Personal guarantees are generally obtained for the
Association's commercial real estate loans.  Substantially all of the commercial
real estate  loans  originated  by the  Association  are  secured by  properties
located within the Association's market area.

</TABLE>

         Commercial real estate loans  generally  present a higher level of risk
than loans secured by one- to four-family  residences.  This greater risk is due
to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number
of loans and  borrowers,  the effects of general  economic  conditions on income
producing  properties and the increased  difficulty of evaluating and monitoring
these types of loans. Furthermore,  the repayment of loans secured by commercial
real estate is typically dependent upon the successful  operation of the related
real estate project.  If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example,
if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan
may be impaired.

Multi-Family Lending

         The Association has historically made permanent  multi-family  loans in
its  primary  market  area.   However,   the  amount  of  such  loans  has  been
insignificant. At June 30, 1999, multi-family loans totaled $1.4 million, or1.3%
of gross loans receivable.

         The Association's multi-family loan portfolio includes loans secured by
five or more unit residential  buildings  located primarily in the Association's
market area.

Land Lending

         Peoples  Federal makes loans to individuals  who purchase and hold land
for various reasons, such as the future construction of a residence.  Such loans
are  generally  originated  with terms of three years and have maximum loan- to-
value ratios of 75%. At June 30, 1999, the Association had $867,000,  or 0.8% of
gross loans receivable, in land loans.

         Land  lending  generally  affords the  Association  an  opportunity  to
receive interest at rates higher than those obtainable from residential lending.
In addition,  land loans are limited to a maximum 75% loan-to-value and are made
with fixed and  adjustable  rates of interest  and for  relatively  short terms.
Nevertheless,  land lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of
credit  risk due to the fact that funds are  advanced  upon the  security of the
land, which is of uncertain value prior to its development.
<PAGE>
Consumer Lending

         Management  believes  that offering  consumer  loan  products  helps to
expand the  Association's  customer  base and to create  stronger  ties with its
existing  customer  base. In addition,  because  consumer  loans  generally have
shorter terms to maturity and carry higher rates of interest than do residential
mortgage  loans,  they can be valuable  asset/liability  management  tools.  The
Association currently originates  substantially all of its consumer loans in its
market area. At June 30, 1999,  the  Association's  consumer  loans totaled $2.7
million, or 2.6% of the Association's gross loan portfolio.

                                      -10-

<PAGE>
         Peoples Federal offers a variety of secured  consumer loans,  including
automobile loans,  loans secured by savings deposits and home improvement loans.
Although the  Association  primarily  originates  consumer loans secured by real
estate,  deposits or other  collateral,  the  Association  also makes  unsecured
personal loans.

         The largest component of the Association's  consumer lending program is
automobile  loans. At June 30, 1999,  automobile loans totaled $1.7 million,  or
1.7% of gross loans  receivable.  The  Association  makes loans  directly to the
consumer  to aid in the  purchase  of new and  used  vehicles,  which  serve  as
collateral  for the  loan.  The  Association  also  employs  other  underwriting
criteria discussed below in deciding whether to extend credit.

         The terms of other types of consumer  loans vary  according to the type
of  collateral,  length of contract and  creditworthiness  of the borrower.  The
underwriting  standards employed by the Association for consumer loans include a
determination  of  the  applicant's  payment  history  on  other  debts  and  an
assessment of the borrower's ability to meet payments on the proposed loan along
with his  existing  obligations.  In  addition  to the  creditworthiness  of the
applicant,  the underwriting  process also includes a comparison of the value of
the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.

         Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly  in the case of consumer  loans which are  unsecured  or secured by
rapidly  depreciable assets such as automobiles.  In such cases, any repossessed
collateral  for defaulted  consumer  loans may not provide  adequate  sources of
repayment  for  the  outstanding  loan  balances  as a  result  of  the  greater
likelihood  of  damage,  loss  or  depreciation.   In  addition,  consumer  loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability,  and
thus  are  more  likely  to  be  affected  by  adverse  personal  circumstances.
Furthermore,  the  application  of various  federal  and state  laws,  including
federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can

Commercial Business Lending

         In order to increase the yield and  interest  rate  sensitivity  of its
loan  portfolio  and in order to  satisfy  the  demand  for  financial  services
available  to  individuals  and  businesses  in its  primary  market  area,  the
Association  has  maintained a small  portfolio of  commercial  business  loans.
Although the portfolio  remains a small  percentage of gross loans  outstanding,
the Association did experience substantial growth in 1999 primarily from the new
branch facilities.  Unlike residential  mortgage loans, which generally are made
on the  basis  of the  borrower's  ability  to make  repayment  from  his or her
employment and other income,  and which are secured by real property whose value
tends to be more easily  ascertainable,  commercial business loans are generally
of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower's  ability to
make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's  business.  As a result, the
availability  of funds for the  repayment of  commercial  business  loans may be
substantially  dependent on the success of the business itself (which,  in turn,
may be dependent upon the general  economic  environment).  During the past five
years, the Association has made commercial  business loans to businesses such as
small retail operations,  small  manufacturing  concerns and professional firms.
The  Association's  commercial  business  loans almost always  include  personal
guarantees and are usually, but not always,  secured by business assets, such as
accounts  receivable,   equipment,  inventory  and  real  estate.  However,  the
collateral  securing  the loans may  depreciate  over time,  may be difficult to
appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
<PAGE>
         Most of the Association's  commercial business loans have terms ranging
from three months to one year and may carry fixed or adjustable  interest rates.
The  underwriting  process for  commercial  business  loans  generally  includes
consideration of the borrower's financial statements,  tax returns,  projections
of future business operations and inspection of the subject collateral,  if any.
At June 30, 1999, commercial business loans totaled $1.4 million, or 1.3% of the
Association's gross loans receivable.

Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans

         The  Association   originates  real  estate  and  other  loans  through
employees located at the Association's  office.  Walk-in customers and referrals
from real  estate  brokers  and  builders  are also  important  sources  of loan
originations.  The  Association  has  historically  not utilized the services of
mortgage or loan brokers,  nor purchased or sold loans from or to other lenders.
While a portfolio  lender,  the Association may in the future evaluate loan sale
opportunities as they arise and make sales depending on market conditions.

         The following table shows the loan origination and repayment activities
of the Association for the periods indicated.

Delinquencies and Non-Performing Assets

         Delinquency  Procedures.  When a  borrower  fails  to  make a  required
payment  on a  loan,  the  Association  attempts  to  cure  the  delinquency  by
contacting  the  borrower.  A late  notice  is  sent on all  loans  over 30 days
delinquent. Another late notice is sent 60 days after the due date followed by a
letter from the President of the Association.

         If the  delinquency  is not cured by the 90th day,  the customer may be
provided  written  notice  that the  account  will be  referred  to counsel  for
collection and foreclosure, if necessary. A good faith effort by the borrower at
this time will defer  foreclosure  for a reasonable  length of time depending on
individual circumstances.  The Association may agree to accept a deed in lieu of
foreclosure.  If it becomes  necessary  to  foreclose,  the  property is sold at
public sale and

                                      -12-

<PAGE>
the Association may bid on the property to protect its interest. The decision to
foreclose is made by the Senior Loan Officer after  discussion  with the members
of the Executive Committee or Board of Directors.

         Consumer loans are  charged-off if they remain  delinquent for 120 days
unless the borrower and lender agree on a payment plan. If terms of the plan are
not met, they are then subject to charge-off.  The Association's  procedures for
repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements
under Ohio consumer protection laws.

         Real estate  acquired by Peoples  Federal as a result of foreclosure or
by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  is  classified as real estate owned until it is
sold.  When property is acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of  foreclosure,
it is  initially  recorded  at  fair  value  at the  date  of  acquisition.  Any
write-down  resulting  therefrom  is charged to the  allowance  for loan losses.
Subsequent  decreases  in the value of the  property  are charged to  operations
through the  creation of a valuation  allowance.  After  acquisition,  all costs
incurred  in  maintaining  the  property  are  expensed.  Costs  relating to the
development  and  improvement of the property,  however,  are capitalized to the
extent of estimated fair value.

         The following table sets forth the Association's  loan delinquencies by
type, by amount and by percentage of type at June 30, 1999.

         Classification of Assets. Federal regulations require that each savings
institution  classify  its own  assets  on a  regular  basis.  In  addition,  in
connection  with  examinations of savings  institutions,  OTS and FDIC examiners
have authority to identify  problem assets and, if appropriate,  require them to
be classified.  There are three classifications for problem assets: Substandard,
Doubtful and Loss.  Substandard  assets have one or more defined  weaknesses and
are characterized by the distinct  possibility that the Association will sustain
some  loss if the  deficiencies  are not  corrected.  Doubtful  assets  have the
weaknesses of Substandard assets, with the additional  characteristics  that the
weaknesses  make  collection  or  liquidation  in full on the basis of currently
existing  facts,  conditions  and  values  questionable,  and  there  is a  high
possibility of loss. An asset classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and
of such little value that  continuance  as an asset on the balance  sheet of the
institution,   without  establishment  of  a  specific  valuation  allowance  or
charge-off,  is not  warranted.  Assets  classified as  Substandard  or Doubtful
require the institution to establish prudent general allowances for loan losses.
If an asset or portion  thereof  is  classified  as Loss,  the  institution  may
charge-off such amount against the loan loss allowance.  If an institution  does
not agree with an  examiner's  classification  of an asset,  it may appeal  this
determination to the District Director of the OTS.

         The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing
assets.  Interest  income on loans is accrued  over the term of the loans  based
upon the  principal  outstanding  except  where  serious  doubt exists as to the
collectibility of a loan, in which case the accrual of interest is discontinued.
For all years presented, the Association has had no troubled debt restructurings
(which  involve  forgiving a portion of interest  or  principal  on any loans or
making loans at a rate  materially  less than that of market rates).  Foreclosed
assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

         For the year ended June 30, 1999 gross interest income which would have
been recorded had the non accruing  loans been current in accordance  with their
original  terms  amounted to $25,901.  The amount that was  included in interest
income on such loans was $19,628 for the year ended June 30, 1999.

         Other Assets of Concern.  As of June 30, 1999, the  Association  had no
assets  that are not now  disclosed  because  of  known  information  about  the
possible  credit  problems of the  borrowers  or the cash flows of the  security
property  which would cause  management to have some doubts as to the ability of
the borrowers to comply with present loan  repayment  terms and which may result
in the future inclusion of such items in the non performing asset categories.

         Allowance for Loan Losses.  Management  estimates the allowance balance
required  based on past loan loss  experience,  known and inherent  risks in the
portfolio,   information  about  specific  borrower   situations  and  estimated
collateral values,  economic conditions,  and other factors.  Allocations of the
allowance may be made for specific loans,  but the entire allowance is available
for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off.

         Loan  impairment  is reported  when full payment under the terms of the
loan is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans
of similar  nature such as first  mortgage  loans secured by one- to four-family
residences, residential construction loans, credit card, automobile, home equity
and second mortgage loans.  Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other
properties are evaluated  individually for impairment.  If a loan is impaired, a
portion  of the  allowance  for loan  losses  is  allocated  so that the loan is
reported  net, at the  present  value of  estimated  future cash flows using the
loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected
solely from the collateral. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are
delayed,  typically  90  days or  more,  or when  it is  probable  that  not all
principal  and  interest  payments  will be  collected  in  accordance  with the
original terms of the loan.

         As of June 30, 1999, the  Association's  allowance for loan losses as a
percent  of gross  loans  receivable  and as a percent  of  nonperforming  loans
amounted  to  0.50%  and  70.03%,  respectively.   In  light  of  the  level  of
nonperforming assets to total assets and the nature of these assets,  management
believes  that the  allowance  for loan  losses is  adequate.  While  management
believes that it uses the best information  available to determine the allowance
for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments to the
allowance for loan losses, and net earnings could be significantly  affected, if
circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final
determination.

Investment Activities

         As part of its  asset/liability  management  strategy,  the Association
invests in U.S. government and agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities
to supplement its lending activities.  The Association's  investment policy also
allows for  investments  in overnight  funds and  certificates  of deposit.  The
Association may consider the expansion of investments  into other  securities if
deemed appropriate. At June 30, 1999, the Association did not own any securities
of a single issuer which exceeded 10% of the  Association's  equity,  other than
U.S.  government or federal agency  obligations.  See Note 3 of the Notes to the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  additional  information  regarding the
Association's securities portfolio.

         The  Association  is  required  by federal  regulations  to  maintain a
minimum amount of liquid assets that may be invested in specified securities and
is also  permitted  to make  certain  other  securities  investments.  Cash flow
projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity
is provided.  As of June 30, 1999,  the  Association's  liquidity  ratio (liquid
assets as a percentage of net withdrawable  savings and current  borrowings) was
7.47% as compared to the OTS requirement of 4.0%.

         As of June 30,  1999  the  Association  had  securities  totaling  $7.9
million  classified as available for sale while there were no classified as held
to maturity.  As future  securities are acquired,  the  Association may elect to
classify them as either available for sale or held to maturity.

         Mortgage-Backed    Securities.    The    Association   had   one   GNMA
mortgage-backed  security at June 30, 1999.  From time to time, the  Association
may purchase such securities to supplement loan production, leverage its capital
position or manage its assets/liability structure.

Sources of Funds

         General.  The  Association's  primary  sources  of funds are  deposits,
amortization  and  prepayment  of  loan  principal,  maturities  of  securities,
short-term  investments  and  funds  provided  from  operations  as well as FHLB
advances.

         Deposits. Peoples Federal offers a variety of deposit accounts having a
wide range of interest rates and terms.  The  Association's  deposits consist of
passbook accounts, statement savings, NOW accounts, Christmas club, money market
and  certificate  accounts.  The  Association  relies  primarily on advertising,
including newspaper and radio, competitive pricing policies and customer service
to attract and retain these deposits. Neither premiums nor brokered deposits are
utilized.

         The flow of deposits is influenced  significantly  by general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing   interest  rates  and
competition.
<PAGE>
         The variety of deposit  accounts offered by the Association has allowed
it to be  competitive  in  obtaining  funds and to respond with  flexibility  to
changes in consumer  demand.  The  Association  has become more  susceptible  to
short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest
rate conscious.  The Association  manages the pricing of its deposits in keeping
with its asset/liability management,  profitability and growth objectives. Based
on its experience,  the Association  believes that its passbook,  demand and NOW
accounts are relatively stable sources of deposits.  However, the ability of the
Association to attract and maintain certificate deposits,  and the rates paid on
these  deposits,  has been and will  continue  to be  significantly  affected by
market conditions.

         The OTS also  has  extensive  enforcement  authority  over all  savings
institutions  and their holding  companies,  including  Peoples  Federal and the
Company. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to
assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to
initiate  injunctive  actions.  In  general,  these  enforcement  actions may be
initiated  for  violations  of  laws  and  regulations  and  unsafe  or  unsound
practices.  Other  actions or  inactions  may provide the basis for  enforcement
action,  including  misleading or untimely  reports  filed with the OTS.  Except
under certain  circumstances,  public disclosure of final enforcement actions by
the OTS is required.

         In addition,  the  investment,  lending and branching  authority of the
Association is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited  from engaging in
any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance,  no savings institution
may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities.  In addition,  the
permissible  level of  investment  by federal  associations  in loans secured by
non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital,  except with
approval of the OTS. Federal savings  associations are also generally authorized
to  branch  nationwide.   Peoples  Federal  is  in  compliance  with  the  noted
restrictions.

         Peoples    Federal's    general    permissible    lending   limit   for
loans-to-one-borrower  is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of  unimpaired
capital  and  surplus  (except  for  loans  fully  secured  by  certain  readily
marketable  collateral,  in  which  case  this  limit  is  increased  to  25% of
unimpaired  capital and surplus).  At June 30, 1999, the  Association's  lending
limit under this restriction was $1.97 million. Peoples Federal is in compliance
with the loans- to-one-borrower limitation.

         The OTS, as well as the other  federal  banking  agencies,  has adopted
guidelines  establishing  safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan
underwriting and  documentation,  asset quality,  earnings  standards,  internal
controls and audit  systems,  interest rate risk exposure and  compensation  and
other  employee  benefits.  Any  institution  which  fails to comply  with these
standards must submit a compliance plan.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

         Peoples  Federal is a member of the SAIF,  which is administered by the
FDIC.  Deposits  are  insured  up to  applicable  limits  by the  FDIC  and such
insurance  is  backed  by  the  full  faith  and  credit  of the  United  States
Government.  As insurer,  the FDIC  imposes  deposit  insurance  premiums and is
authorized to conduct  examinations of and to require  reporting by FDIC-insured
institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in
any activity the FDIC  determines  by regulation or order to pose a serious risk
to the SAIF or the BIF. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate  enforcement
actions  against  savings  associations,  after giving the OTS an opportunity to
take such action,  and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that
the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or
unsound condition.
<PAGE>
         The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based
system under which all insured  depository  institutions  are placed into one of
nine  categories  and  assessed  insurance  premiums  based upon their  level of
capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as
well  capitalized  (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1
or core capital to  risk-weighted  assets  ("Tier 1  risk-based  capital") of at
least 6% and a risk-based  capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy
pay the  lowest  premium  while  institutions  that  are  less  than  adequately
capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a
risk-based  capital  ratio  of less  than  8%)  and  considered  of  substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of all insured
institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

         The FDIC is authorized to increase  assessment  rates,  on a semiannual
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than the
designated  reserve  ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured  deposits.  In setting these
increased  assessments,  the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated  reserve  level,  or such higher  reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC.  The FDIC may also impose  special  assessments  on SAIF  members to repay
amounts  borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed
necessary by the FDIC.


                                      -26-

<PAGE>
         In order to equalize the deposit  insurance  premium  schedules for BIF
and SAIF insured institutions, the FDIC imposed a one-time special assessment on
all  SAIF-assessable   deposits  pursuant  to  federal  legislation  enacted  on
September 30, 1996.  Peoples Federal's special  assessment,  which was $456,000,
was paid in November 1996, and included in federal deposit  insurance expense in
the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1997.  Effective  January 1, 1997,  the premium
schedule  for BIF and  SAIF  insurance  institutions  ranged  from 0 to 27 basis
points.  However,  SAIF-insured  institutions  are  required  to pay a Financing
Corporation (FICO) assessment,  in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to
resolve thrift failures in the 1980's,  equal to 6.48 basis points for each $100
in domestic deposits,  while BIF-insured institutions pay an assessment equal to
1.52 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits. The assessment is expected
to be  reduced  to  2.43 no  later  than  January  1,  2000,  when  BIF  insured
institutions fully participate in the assessment.  These assessments,  which may
be revised based upon the level of BIF and SAIF  deposits,  will continue  until
the bonds mature in the year 2015.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

         Federally insured savings  associations,  such as Peoples Federal,  are
required  to  maintain  a  minimum  level  of  regulatory  capital.  The OTS has
established  capital  standards,  including a tangible  capital  requirement,  a
leverage  ratio  (or  core  capital)   requirement  and  a  risk-based   capital
requirement applicable to such savings associations.  These capital requirements
must be  generally  as  stringent as the  comparable  capital  requirements  for
national  banks.  The OTS is also  authorized to impose capital  requirements in
excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

         The capital  regulations  require  tangible capital of at least 1.5% of
adjusted total assets (as defined by  regulation).  Tangible  capital  generally
includes  common   stockholders'   equity  and  retained  income,   and  certain
noncumulative  perpetual  preferred stock and related income.  In addition,  all
intangible  assets,  other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing
rights,  must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating  compliance with
the  requirement.  At June 30, 1999, the Association did not have any intangible
assets.

         The OTS regulations establish special  capitalization  requirements for
savings associations that own subsidiaries.  In determining  compliance with the
capital requirements,  all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible
for national  banks or engaged in certain other  activities  solely as agent for
its customers are  "includable"  subsidiaries  that are consolidated for capital
purposes in proportion to the association's  level of ownership.  For excludable
subsidiaries the debt and equity  investments in such  subsidiaries are deducted
from assets and capital. Peoples Federal does not have any subsidiaries.

         At June  30,  1999,  Peoples  Federal  had  tangible  capital  of $13.2
million, or 11.2% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $11.4 million
above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that
date.

         The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% of
adjusted total assets.  Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus
certain intangible  assets,  including a limited amount of purchased credit card
receivables.  As a result of the prompt corrective  action provisions  discussed
<PAGE>
below,  however, a savings  association must maintain a core capital ratio of at
least  4%  to  be  considered  adequately  capitalized  unless  its  supervisory
condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio. At June 30, 1999,  Peoples
Federal had no intangible assets which were subject to these tests.

         At June 30,  1999,  Peoples  Federal  had core  capital  equal to $13.2
million,  or 11.2% of adjusted  total  assets,  which is $8.5 million  above the
minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4% as in effect on that date.

          The OTS risk-based  requirement  requires savings associations to have
total capital of at least 8% of risk- weighted assets. Total capital consists of
core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
consists of certain  permanent  and  maturing  capital  instruments  that do not
qualify as core capital and general  valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used
to satisfy the risk-based  requirement  only to the extent of core capital.  The
OTS is  also  authorized  to  require  a  savings  association  to  maintain  an
additional  amount of total capital to account for  concentration of credit risk
and the risk of  non-traditional  activities.  At June 30, 1999, Peoples Federal
had  $482,000  of  general  loss   reserves,   which  was  less  than  1.25%  of
risk-weighted assets.

                                      -27-

<PAGE>
         Certain  exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for
the purpose of calculating  total  capital.  Such  exclusions  consist of equity
investments  (as  defined  by  regulation)  and that  portion  of land loans and
nonresidential  construction  loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value  ratio and
reciprocal  holdings of qualifying capital  instruments.  Peoples Federal had no
such exclusions from capital and assets at June 30, 1999.

         In  determining  the  amount  of  risk-weighted   assets,  all  assets,
including certain  off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight,
ranging from 0% to 100%,  based on the risk  inherent in the type of asset.  For
example,  the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for  prudently  underwritten
permanent  one- to  four-family  first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days
delinquent  and having a loan to value ratio of not more than 80% at origination
unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by the FNMA or FHLMC.

         On June 30, 1999,  Peoples  Federal had total  capital of $13.6 million
(including   $13.2   million  in  core  capital  and   $482,000  in   qualifying
supplementary  capital)  and  risk-weighted  assets of $75.9  million,  or total
capital of 18.0% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $7.6 million above the
8% requirement in effect on that date.

         The OTS and the FDIC are authorized  and,  under certain  circumstances
required, to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet
their  capital  requirements.  The OTS is  generally  required to take action to
restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized  association" (generally defined
to be  one  with  less  than  either  a 4%  core  capital  ratio,  a 4%  Tier  1
risked-based  capital  ratio  or an  8%  risk-based  capital  ratio).  Any  such
association  must  submit a  capital  restoration  plan and  until  such plan is
approved by the OTS may not increase its assets,  acquire  another  institution,
establish a branch or engage in any new  activities,  and generally may not make
capital   distributions.   The  OTS  is  authorized  to  impose  the  additional
restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.

          As a condition to the approval of the capital  restoration  plan,  any
company  controlling  an  undercapitalized  association  must agree that it will
enter  into  a  limited  capital  maintenance  guarantee  with  respect  to  the
institution's achievement of its capital requirements.

         Any savings  association  that fails to comply with its capital plan or
is  "significantly  undercapitalized"  (i.e.,  Tier 1 risk-based or core capital
ratios of less than 3% or a  risk-based  capital  ratio of less than 6%) must be
made  subject  to one or more of  additional  specified  actions  and  operating
restrictions  which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced
merger  or  acquisition  of  the   association.   An  association  that  becomes
"critically  undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or less) is
subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those
applicable to significantly  undercapitalized associations. In addition, the OTS
must appoint a receiver (or conservator  with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a
savings  association,  with certain limited exceptions,  within 90 days after it
becomes critically  undercapitalized.  Any undercapitalized  association is also
subject to the general enforcement  authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including
the appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

         The OTS is also generally  authorized to reclassify an association into
a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category
if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices or is in an unsafe
or unsound condition.
<PAGE>
         The  imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these  measures on the
Association  may  have  a  substantial  adverse  effect  on its  operations  and
profitability.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

         OTS regulations  impose various  restrictions  on savings  associations
with respect to their ability to make  distributions  of capital,  which include
dividends,  stock  redemptions  or  repurchases,   cash-out  mergers  and  other
transactions  charged to the capital  account.  OTS regulations  also prohibit a
savings  association from declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing
any of its stock if, as a result,  the  regulatory  capital  of the  association
would be reduced below the amount  required to be maintained for the liquidation
account established in connection with its mutual to stock conversion.


                                      -28-
<PAGE>
Liquidity

         All savings  associations,  including Peoples Federal,  are required to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. For a discussion of what Peoples Federal
includes  in  liquid  assets,  see  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources"
in the 1999  Annual  Report to  Stockholders  attached  hereto as Exhibit 13 and
incorporated by reference  herein.  This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary
from time to time  depending  upon economic  conditions and savings flows of all
savings associations. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset ratio is 4%.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

         All savings  associations,  including Peoples Federal,  are required to
meet a qualified  thrift lender  ("QTL") test to avoid certain  restrictions  on
their operations.  This test requires a savings association to have at least 65%
of  its  portfolio  assets  (as  defined  by  regulation)  in  qualified  thrift
investments  on a monthly  average  for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling
basis. As an alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets
in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under either test, such assets primarily consist
of  residential  housing  related loans and  investments.  At June 30, 1999, the
Association met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness.

         Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to
a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a
QTL. If an  association  does not  requalify  and  converts  to a national  bank
charter,  it must remain  SAIF-insured  until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
the BIF.  If such an  association  has not yet  requalified  or  converted  to a
national  bank,  its  new  investments  and  activities  are  limited  to  those
permissible  for both a  savings  association  and a  national  bank,  and it is
limited to national bank branching  rights in its home state.  In addition,  the
association is immediately  ineligible to receive any new FHLB borrowings and is
subject to national  bank limits for payment of dividends.  If such  association
has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the
failure,  it must  divest  of all  investments  and  cease  all  activities  not
permissible  for a  national  bank.  In  addition,  it must repay  promptly  any
outstanding FHLB borrowings,  which may result in prepayment  penalties.  If any
association  that fails the QTL test is  controlled by a holding  company,  then
within one year after the failure,  the holding  company must register as a bank
holding  company  and  become  subject  to  all  restrictions  on  bank  holding
companies. See "- Regulation of the Company."

Community Reinvestment Act

         Under the  Community  Reinvestment  Act  ("CRA"),  every  FDIC  insured
institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and
sound banking  practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire  community,
including  low and moderate  income  neighborhoods.  The CRA does not  establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's  discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular  community,  consistent  with
the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of Peoples
Federal,  to assess the institution's  record of meeting the credit needs of its
<PAGE>
community  and to take such record  into  account in its  evaluation  of certain
applications,  such as a merger or the  establishment  of a branch,  by  Peoples
Federal. An unsatisfactory  rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an
application by the OTS.

         Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA in recent years,
the  Association may be required to devote  additional  funds for investment and
lending in its local community.  The Association was examined for CRA compliance
in 1998 and received a rating of satisfactory.

Transactions with Affiliates

         Generally,   transactions   between  a  savings   association   or  its
subsidiaries  and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the
association as transactions with non-affiliates.  In addition,  certain of these
transactions,  such as loans to an affiliate,  are restricted to a percentage of
the association's capital. Affiliates of Peoples Federal include

                                      -29-

<PAGE>
the Company and any company which is under common control with the  Association.
In addition,  a savings  association  may not lend to any  affiliate  engaged in
activities not  permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities
of most affiliates.  The OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings
associations as affiliates on a case by case basis.

         Certain  transactions with directors,  officers or controlling  persons
are also subject to conflict of interest  regulations enforced by the OTS. These
conflict of interest  regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on
loans to such persons and their  related  interests.  Among other  things,  such
loans must be made on terms  substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated
individuals.

Regulation of the Company

         The Company is a unitary  savings and loan holding  company  subject to
regulatory  oversight  by the OTS. As such,  the Company is required to register
and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation  and  examination  by
the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its
non-savings  association  subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict or
prohibit  activities  that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary
savings association.

         As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is
not subject to activity restrictions. If the Company acquires control of another
savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings
and loan  holding  company,  and the  activities  of the  Company and any of its
subsidiaries  (other  than  Peoples  Federal or any other  SAIF-insured  savings
association)  would  become  subject  to such  restrictions  unless  such  other
associations  each  qualify  as  a  QTL  and  were  acquired  in  a  supervisory
acquisition.

         If Peoples  Federal  fails the QTL test,  the  Company  must obtain the
approval of the OTS prior to continuing after such failure,  directly or through
its other  subsidiaries,  any business  activity  other than those  approved for
multiple savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries.  In addition,
within one year of such failure the Holding  Company must  register as, and will
become subject to, the restrictions  applicable to bank holding  companies.  The
activities  authorized for a bank holding  company are more limited than are the
activities  authorized  for a  unitary  or  multiple  savings  and loan  holding
company. See "--Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

         The Company must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring  control
of  any  other  SAIF-insured   association.   Such  acquisitions  are  generally
prohibited  if they  result  in a  multiple  savings  and loan  holding  company
controlling  savings  associations  in  more  than  one  state.   However,  such
interstate  acquisitions are permitted based on specific state  authorization or
in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

Federal Securities Law

         The common  stock of the Company is  registered  with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is
subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and
other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
<PAGE>
         Company stock held by persons who are affiliates  (generally  officers,
directors and principal  stockholders)  of the Company may not be resold without
registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions.  If the
Company meets specified current public information requirements,  each affiliate
of the Company is able to sell in the public  market,  without  registration,  a
limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Federal Reserve System

         The Federal  Reserve  Board  requires all  depository  institutions  to
maintain   noninterest  bearing  reserves  at  specified  levels  against  their
transaction accounts (primarily checking,  NOW and Super NOW checking accounts).
At  June  30,  1999,  Peoples  Federal  was in  compliance  with  these  reserve
requirements.  The balances maintained to meet the reserve  requirements imposed
by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity  requirements that
may be imposed by the OTS. See "--Liquidity."

                                      -30-

<PAGE>
         Savings  associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank  "discount   window,"  but  Federal  Reserve  Board   regulations   require
associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including
FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

         Peoples Federal is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati,  which is one of
12 regional FHLBs that administers the home financing credit function of savings
associations.  Each FHLB  serves as a reserve  or central  bank for its  members
within its assigned  region.  It is funded  primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB  System.  It makes  loans to
members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures, established
by the board of directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the
Federal  Housing  Finance  Board.  All advances from the FHLB are required to be
fully secured by  sufficient  collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition,
all  long-term  advances  are  required to provide  funds for  residential  home
financing.

         As a member, Peoples Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock
in the FHLB of  Cincinnati.  At June 30, 1999,  Peoples  Federal had $908,000 in
FHLB  stock,  which was in  compliance  with this  requirement.  In past  years,
Peoples Federal has received  substantial  dividends on its FHLB stock. Over the
past five fiscal years such  dividends  have  averaged  6.97% and were 7.13% for
fiscal 1999.

         Under  federal  law,  the FHLBs are  required to provide  funds for the
resolution  of  troubled  savings  associations  and to  contribute  to low- and
moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income  housing
projects.  These  contributions  have  affected  adversely  the  level  of  FHLB
dividends  paid and could continue to do so in the future.  These  contributions
could also have an adverse  effect on the value of FHLB stock in the  future.  A
reduction in value of Peoples Federal's FHLB stock may result in a corresponding
reduction in Peoples Federal's capital.

         For the  year  ended  June  30,  1999,  dividends  paid by the  FHLB of
Cincinnati  to Peoples  Federal  totaled  $61,000,  which  constitutes  a $4,000
increase over the amount of dividends  received in fiscal year 1998. The $15,600
dividend  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999  reflects an  annualized  rate of
6.98%, or 0.15% below the rate for fiscal 1999.

Federal and State Taxation

         Savings  associations  such  as  Peoples  Federal,  that  meet  certain
conditions  prescribed by the Code, are permitted to establish  reserves for bad
debts and to make annual additions  thereto which may, within specified  formula
limits,  be taken as a deduction in computing  taxable income for federal income
tax purposes.  The amount of the bad debt reserve  deduction was computed  under
the  experience  method.  Under  the  experience  method,  the bad debt  reserve
deduction is an amount  determined  under a formula based generally upon the bad
debts actually sustained by the savings association over a period of years.

         In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repealed the percentage of
taxable  income  method used by many  thrifts,  including  the  Association,  to
calculate  their bad debt reserve for federal income tax purposes.  As a result,
small thrifts such as the Association must recapture that portion of the reserve
<PAGE>
that exceeds the amount that could have been taken under the  experience  method
for tax years beginning after December 31, 1987. The recapture will occur over a
six-year  period,  the commencement of which was delayed until the first taxable
year beginning  after  December 31, 1997,  because  Peoples  Federal met certain
residential  lending  requirements.  At  June  30,  1999,  the  Association  had
approximately  $484,000 in bad debt  reserves  subject to recapture  for federal
income tax  purposes.  The deferred tax  liability  related to the recapture has
been previously  established so there will be no effect on future net income. In
fiscal 1999, $97,000 in bad debt reserves were recaptured.

         In addition to the regular income tax, corporations,  including savings
associations such as Peoples Federal, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An
alternative  minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on  alternative
minimum  taxable  income,  which is the sum of a  corporation's  regular taxable
income (with certain  adjustments) and tax preference  items, less any available
exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the

                                      -31-

<PAGE>
extent it exceeds the corporation's  regular income tax and net operating losses
can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.

         A portion of the  Association's  reserves  for losses on loans may not,
without adverse tax consequences,  be utilized for the payment of cash dividends
or other distributions to a shareholder (including  distributions on redemption,
dissolution or  liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt
losses).  As of June 30, 1999, the portion of Peoples Federal's reserves subject
to this treatment for tax purposes totaled approximately $2.2 million.

         The Company and Peoples  Federal file  consolidated  federal income tax
returns on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting.

         Peoples  Federal  has  been  audited  by the  IRS,  or the  statute  of
limitations  for  assessment  has  closed,  with  respect to federal  income tax
returns through June 30, 1994. With respect to years examined by the IRS, either
all  deficiencies   have  been  satisfied  or  sufficient   reserves  have  been
established to satisfy asserted deficiencies.  In the opinion of management, any
examination  of still  open  returns  (including  returns  of  subsidiaries  and
predecessors of, or entities merged into, Peoples Federal) would not result in a
deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
of Peoples Federal.

         Ohio  Taxation.  The  Association  conducts  its  business  in Ohio and
consequently  is  subject  to the Ohio  corporate  franchise  tax.  A  financial
institution  subject  to the Ohio  corporate  franchise  tax  levied by the Ohio
Revised  Code  pays a tax  equal to 1.4 times its  apportioned  net  worth.  The
apportionment  factor  consists  of  a  gross  receipts  factor,  determined  by
reference to the total receipts of the financial institution from all sources, a
property factor,  determined by reference to the net book value of all loans and
fixed assets owned by the financial institution and a payroll factor.

         Delaware  Taxation.  As a  Delaware  holding  company,  the  Company is
exempted  from Delaware  corporate  income tax but is required to file an annual
report with and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware.  The Company is also
subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware. The Company
also files an Ohio franchise tax return and pays tax on its Ohio taxable income.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" - SFAS 133 requires companies
to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at
fair  value.  Gains or losses  resulting  from  changes  in the  values of those
derivatives  would be accounted for depending on the use of the  derivative  and
whether  it  qualifies  for  hedge  accounting.  The  key  criterion  for  hedge
accounting  is that  the  hedging  relationship  must  be  highly  effective  in
achieving  offsetting  changes  in fair value or cash  flows.  SFAS 133 does not
allow  hedging  of  a  security   which  is  classified  as  held  to  maturity.
Accordingly,  upon adoption of SFAS 133,  companies may  reclassify any security
from held to maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to hedge the
security in the  future.  SFAS 133,  as amended by SFAS 137,  is  effective  for
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000 with early adoption  encouraged for
any  fiscal  quarter  beginning  July 1,  1998  or  later,  with no  retroactive
application.  Management  does not  expect  the  adoption  of SFAS 133 to have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

         SFAS No. 134 "Accounting for Mortgaged-Backed Securities Retained After
the  Securitization  of  Mortgage  Loans  Held  for Sale by a  Mortgage  Banking
Enterprise"  - SFAS 134 changes the way companies  involved in mortgage  banking
activities  account for certain securities and other interests they retain after
securitizing  mortgage  loans  that  were  held for sale.  SFAS 134  allows  any
retained  mortgage-backed  securities after a  securitization  of mortgage loans
held for sale to be classified  based on holding intent in accordance  with SFAS
115, except in cases where the retained mortgage-backed security is committed to
be sold before or during the  securitization  process,  in which case it must be
classified as trading.  Previously, all retained mortgage-backed securities were
required to be  classified  as trading.  SFAS 134 was effective as of January 1,
1999  and  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company's  financial
statements.

Competition

         Peoples Federal experiences strong competition both in originating real
estate loans and in attracting  deposits.  This competition arises from a highly
competitive market area with numerous savings institutions and commercial banks,
as well as credit  unions,  mortgage  bankers and national and local  securities
firms.  The  Association  competes  for  loans  principally  on the basis of the
interest  rates and loan fees it charges,  the types of loans it originates  and
the quality of services it provides to borrowers.

         The Association  attracts all of its deposits  through the community in
which its  office is  located;  therefore,  competition  for those  deposits  is
principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks, securities firms,
money market and mutual funds and credit unions  located in the same  community.
The ability of the  Association  to attract and retain  deposits  depends on its
ability to provide an investment  opportunity that satisfies the requirements of
investors as to rate of return, liquidity,  risk, convenient locations and other
factors.  The  Association  competes for these deposits by offering a variety of
deposit  accounts  at  competitive  rates,   convenient  business  hours  and  a
customer-oriented staff.

Employees

         At  June  30,  1999,  the  Association  had a  total  of  26  full-time
employees,  13 of which have been  employed  by Peoples  Federal for at least 10
years, and five part-time  employees.  None of the  Association's  employees are
represented  by  any  collective  bargaining  group.  Management  considers  its
employee relations to be good.

defendant  in various  legal  proceedings  arising  in the normal  course of its
business.  While the ultimate outcome of these various legal proceedings  cannot
be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution
of these legal actions  should not have a material  effect on the  Association's
financial position or results of operations.

of  the  Committee,  have  the  capacity  for  contributing  to  the  successful
performance of the Corporation or its Affiliates.

       5. Shares  Subject to Plan.  Subject to  adjustment  by the  operation of
Section 11 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may
be made  under the Plan is 178,538  Shares.  The  Shares  with  respect to which
Awards may be made under the Plan may be either  authorized and unissued  shares
or issued shares heretofore or hereafter reacquired and held as treasury shares.
Shares which are subject to Related Rights and Related  Options shall be counted
only once in  determining  whether the maximum  number of Shares with respect to
which Awards may be granted under the Plan has been exceeded. An Award shall not
be  considered  to have been made  under the Plan with  respect to any Option or
Right which terminates and new Awards may be granted under the Plan with respect
to the number of Shares as to which such termination has occurred.

       6. General  Terms and  Conditions  of Options and Rights.  The  Committee
shall have full and  complete  authority  and  discretion,  except as  expressly
limited by the Plan, to grant Options and/or Rights and to provide the terms and
conditions  (which  need  not  be  identical  among  Participants)  thereof.  In
particular,  the Committee  shall  prescribe the following terms and conditions:
(i) the Exercise Price of any Option or Right,  which shall not be less than the
Market  Value per Share at the date of grant of such  Option or Right,  (ii) the
number of Shares  subject to, and the  expiration  date of, any Option or Right,
which  expiration date shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant,  (iii)
the manner,  time and rate  (cumulative or otherwise) of exercise of such Option
or Right,  and (iv) the  restrictions,  if any, to be placed upon such Option or
Right or upon Shares which may be issued upon  exercise of such Option or Right.
The Committee may, as a condition of granting any Option or Right,  require that
a  Participant  agree not to  thereafter  exercise one or more Options or Rights
previously  granted  to  such  Participant.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  no
individual  shall be granted  Awards in any  calendar  year with respect to more
than 50% of the total shares subject to the Plan.

       At the time of any Award,  the Participant  shall enter into an agreement
with the Corporation in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms
and conditions of the Award and such other matters as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine (the "Option Agreement").

       7.    Exercise of Options or Rights.

(a)    Except as  provided  herein,  an Option or Right  granted  under the Plan
       shall be exercisable  during the lifetime of the Participant to whom such
       Option or Right  was  granted  only by such  Participant  and,  except as
       provided in  paragraphs  (c) and (d) of this Section 7, no such Option or
       Right may be exercised unless at the time such Participant exercises such
       Option or Right, such Participant has maintained Continuous Service since
       the date of grant of such Option or Right.

(b)    To exercise an Option or Right under the Plan,  the  Participant  to whom
       such  Option  or Right  was  granted  shall  give  written  notice to the
       Corporation  in form  satisfactory  to the  Committee  (and,  if  partial
       exercises have been permitted by the Committee,  by specifying the number
       of Shares with respect to which such Participant  elects to exercise such
<PAGE>
       Option or Right) together with full payment of the Exercise Price, if any
       and to the extent  required.  The date of  exercise  shall be the date on
       which such  notice is  received by the  Corporation.  Payment,  if any is
       required,  shall be made either (i) in cash (including  check, bank draft
       or money order) or (ii) by  delivering  (A) Shares  already  owned by the
       Participant  and  having a fair  market  value  equal  to the  applicable
       exercise  price,  such  fair  market  value  to  be  determined  in  such
       appropriate  manner  as may be  provided  by the  Committee  or as may be
       required  in order to comply  with or to conform to  requirements  of any
       applicable  laws or  regulations,  or (B) a combination  of cash and such
       Shares.

(c)    If a  Participant  to whom an Option or Right was granted  shall cease to
       maintain  Continuous Service for any reason (excluding death,  disability
       and  termination  of employment by the  Corporation  or any Affiliate for
       cause),

                                        3

<PAGE>
       such  Participant  may,  but only  within  the  period  of  three  months
       immediately  succeeding  such  cessation of Continuous  Service and in no
       event after the  expiration  date of such Option or Right,  exercise such
       Option or Right to the  extent  that such  Participant  was  entitled  to
       exercise  such Option or Right at the date of such  cessation,  provided,
       however,  that such  right of  exercise  after  cessation  of  Continuous
       Service  shall  not  be  available  to a  Participant  if  the  Committee
       otherwise  determines  and so provides in the  applicable  instrument  or
       instruments   evidencing  the  grant  of  such  Option  or  Right.  If  a
       Participant  to whom an  Option  or  Right  was  granted  shall  cease to
       maintain Continuous Service by reason of death or disability then, unless
       the Committee shall have otherwise provided in the instrument  evidencing
       the grant of an Option or Right,  all Options and Rights  granted and not
       fully exercisable shall become  exercisable in full upon the happening of
       such event and shall remain so exercisable  (i) in the event of death for
       the period  described in paragraph  (d) of this Section 7 and (ii) in the
       event of disability for a period of three months  following such date. If
       the  Continuous  Service of a Participant  to whom an Option or Right was
       granted by the Corporation is terminated for cause,  all rights under any
       Option or Right of such  Participant  shall expire  immediately  upon the
       effective date of such termination.

(d)    In the  event of the  death  of a  Participant  while  in the  Continuous
       Service of the  Corporation  or an  Affiliate  or within the  three-month
       period referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 7, the person to whom
       any Option or Right held by the  Participant  at the time of his death is
       transferred  by will or the laws of descent and  distribution,  or in the
       case of an Award  other than an  Incentive  Stock  Option,  pursuant to a
       qualified  domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or Title 1 of
       ERISA  or  the  rules  thereunder  may,  but  only  to  the  extent  such
       Participant  was entitled to exercise such Option or Right upon his death
       as provided in paragraph (c) above,  exercise such Option or Right at any
       time  within a period  of one year  succeeding  the date of death of such
       Participant,  but in no event later than ten years from the date of grant
       of such Option or Right.  Following the death of any Partici pant to whom
       an Option was granted under the Plan, irrespective of whether any Related
       Right shall have  theretofore  been granted to the Participant or whether
       the person  entitled to exercise such Related Right desires to do so, the
       Committee  may, as an  alternative  means of  settlement  of such Option,
       elect to pay to the person to whom such Option is  transferred by will or
       by the laws of  descent  and  distribution,  or in the case of an  Option
       other than an Incentive  Stock Option,  pursuant to a qualified  domestic
       relations  order, as defined in the Code or Title I of ERISA or the rules
       thereunder, the amount by which the Market Value per Share on the date of
       exercise of such Option shall  exceed the Exercise  Price of such Option,
       multiplied  by the number of Shares with  respect to which such Option is
       properly exercised.  Any such settlement of an Option shall be considered
       an exercise of such Option for all purposes of the Plan.

(e)    Notwithstanding  the provisions of  subparagraphs  (c) and (d) above, the
       Committee  may, in its sole  discretion,  establish  different  terms and
       conditions  pertaining  to  the  effect  of  termination  to  the  extent
       permitted by applicable federal and state law.
<PAGE>
       8. Incentive  Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to  Participants  who are  Employees.  Any provision of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding,  (i) no  Incentive  Stock Option shall be granted more than ten
years  from the  date  the Plan is  adopted  by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Corporation  and no Incentive  Stock Option shall be  exercisable  more than ten
years from the date such  Incentive  Stock Option is granted,  (ii) the Exercise
Price of any Incentive  Stock Option shall not be less than the Market Value per
Share on the date such  Incentive  Stock Option is granted,  (iii) any Incentive
Stock Option shall not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Incentive
Stock  Option  is  granted  other  than  by  will or the  laws  of  descent  and
distribution,  and shall be exercisable during such Participant's  lifetime only
by such  Participant,  (iv) no  Incentive  Stock  Option shall be granted to any
individual who, at the time such Incentive  Stock Option is granted,  owns stock
possessing  more than ten  percent  of the total  combined  voting  power of all
classes of stock of the  Corporation or any Affiliate  unless the Exercise Price
of such  Incentive  Stock Option is at least 110 percent of the Market Value per
Share at the date of grant and such  Incentive  Stock Option is not  exercisable
after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive  Stock Option is
granted,  and (v) the  aggregate  Market  Value  (determined  as of the time any
Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock  Options  are  exercisable  for the  first  time by a  Participant  in any
calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.


                                        4

<PAGE>
       9. Stock Appreciation  Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right shall, upon its
exercise,  entitle the  Participant  to whom such Stock  Appreciation  Right was
granted to  receive a number of Shares or cash or  combination  thereof,  as the
Committee in its discretion shall determine, the aggregate value of which (i.e.,
the sum of the  amount of cash  and/or  Market  Value of such  Shares on date of
exercise)  shall  equal (as nearly as  possible,  it being  understood  that the
Corporation  shall not  issue any  fractional  shares)  the  amount by which the
Market  Value per Share on the date of such  exercise  shall exceed the Exercise
Price of such Stock Appreciation Right,  multiplied by the number of Shares with
respect of which such Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall have been  exercised.  A
Stock  Appreciation  Right  may be  Related  to an  Option  or  may  be  granted
independently  of any  Option as the  Committee  shall from time to time in each
case determine.  At the time of grant of an Option the Committee shall determine
whether and to what extent a Related Stock  Appreciation  Right shall be granted
with respect thereto, provided, however, and notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan,  that if the  Related  Option is an  Incentive  Stock  Option,  the
Related  Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall  satisfy  all  the  restrictions  and
limitations of Section 8 hereof as if such Related Stock Appreciation Right were
an Incentive  Stock Option and as if other rights which are Related to Incentive
Stock Options were  Incentive  Stock Options.  In the case of a Related  Option,
such Related  Option shall cease to be  exercisable  to the extent of the Shares
with respect to which the Related Stock Appreciation  Right was exercised.  Upon
the exercise or termination of a Related Option,  any Related Stock Appreciation
Right  shall  terminate  to the extent of the Shares  with  respect to which the
Related Option was exercised or terminated.

       10. Limited Stock Appreciation  Rights. At the time of grant of an Option
or Stock  Appreciation  Right to any Participant,  the Committee shall have full
and  complete  authority  and  discretion  to also grant to such  Participant  a
Limited  Stock  Appreciation  Right  which is  Related  to such  Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, provided, however and notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, that if the Related Option is an Incentive  Stock Option,  the Related
Limited  Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall  satisfy  all  the  restrictions  and
limitations  of Section 8 hereof as if such Related  Limited Stock  Appreciation
Right  were an  Incentive  Stock  Option  and as if all other  Rights  which are
Related to Incentive Stock Options were Incentive Stock Options. A Limited Stock
Appreciation  Right shall be exercisable only during the period beginning on the
first day  following  the date of  expiration  of any  "offer"  (as such term is
hereinafter defined) and ending on the forty-fifth day following such date.

       A Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall, upon its exercise,  entitle the
Participant to whom such Limited Stock Appreciation Right was granted to receive
an amount of cash equal to the  amount by which the "Offer  Price per Share" (as
such  term is  hereinafter  defined)  or the  Market  Value  on the date of such
exercise,  as shall have been provided by the Committee in its discretion at the
time  of  grant,   shall  exceed  the  Exercise  Price  of  such  Limited  Stock
Appreciation  Right,  multiplied  by the number of Shares with  respect to which
such  Limited  Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall have been  exercised.  Upon the
exercise  of a Limited  Stock  Appreciation  Right,  any Related  Option  and/or
Related Stock  Appreciation Right shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of
the Shares  with  respect to which such  Limited  Stock  Appreciation  Right was
exercised. Upon the exercise or termination of a Related Option or Related Stock
Appreciation Right, any Related Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate
to the extent of the Shares with respect to which such Related Option or Related
Stock Appreciation Right was exercised or terminated.
<PAGE>
       For the  purposes  of this  Section 10, the term  "Offer"  shall mean any
tender  offer  or  exchange  offer  for  Shares  other  than  one  made  by  the
Corporation,  provided that the  corporation,  person or other entity making the
offer acquires  pursuant to such offer either (i) 25% of the Shares  outstanding
immediately  prior to the  commencement of such offer or (ii) a number of Shares
which,  together with all other Shares  acquired in any tender offer or exchange
offer (other than one made by the  Corporation)  which expired within sixty days
of the  expiration  date of the  offer in  question,  equals  25% of the  Shares
outstanding  immediately prior to the commencement of the offer in question. The
term "Offer  Price per Share" as used in this  Section 10 shall mean the highest
price per Share paid in any Offer  which  Offer is in effect any time during the
period  beginning on the sixtieth day prior to the date on which a Limited Stock
Appreciation  Right is  exercised  and ending on the date on which such  Limited
Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. Any securities or property which are part
or all of the  consideration  paid for  Shares in the  Offer  shall be valued in
determining the Offer Price per Share at the higher of (A) the valuation  placed
on such securities or property by the corporation, person or other entity making
such Offer or (B) the  valuation  placed on such  securities  or property by the
Committee.

<PAGE>
       11.  Adjustments  Upon  Changes  in  Capitalization.  In the event of any
change in the outstanding Shares subsequent to the effective date of the Plan by
reason of any  reorganization,  recapitalization,  stock split,  stock dividend,
cash  distribution in excess of normal dividend levels,  combination or exchange
of shares,  merger,  consolidation  or any change in the corporate  structure or
Shares of the Corporation,  the maximum  aggregate number and class of shares as
to which Awards may be granted under the Plan and the number, class and exercise
price of shares with respect to which Awards theretofore have been granted under
the Plan shall be appropriately  adjusted by the Committee,  whose determination
shall be conclusive.

       12.  Effect of  Merger.  In the  event of any  merger,  consolidation  or
combination  of  the  Corporation   (other  than  a  merger,   consolidation  or
combination in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not
result in the outstanding Shares being converted into or exchanged for different
securities,  cash or other property,  or any combination  thereof) pursuant to a
plan or agreement  the terms of which are binding upon all  stockholders  of the
Corporation (except to the extent that dissenting  stockholders may be entitled,
under  statutory  provisions  or  provisions  contained  in the  certificate  or
articles  of  incorporation,  to receive  the  appraised  or fair value of their
holdings),  any  Participant  to whom an Option or Right has been granted  shall
have the right  (subject to the  provisions  of the Plan and any  limitation  or
vesting  period  applicable to such Option or Right),  thereafter and during the
term of each such Option or Right,  to receive upon  exercise of any such Option
or Right an amount  equal to the excess of the fair market  value on the date of
such exercise of the securities, cash or other property, or combination thereof,
receivable upon such merger,  consolidation or combination in respect of a Share
over the  Exercise  Price of such Right or Option,  multiplied  by the number of
Shares with  respect to which such  Option or Right  shall have been  exercised.
Such  amount may be payable  fully in cash,  fully in one or more of the kind or
kinds of property  payable in such  merger,  consolidation  or  combination,  or
partly in cash and partly in one or more of such kind or kinds of property,  all
in the discretion of the Committee.

       13. Effect of Change in Control.  If a tender offer or exchange offer for
Shares (other than such an offer by the  Corporation)  is  commenced,  or if the
stockholders of the Corporation shall approve an agreement  providing either for
a transaction in which the Corporation will cease to be an independent  publicly
owned entity or for a sale or other  disposition of all or substantially all the
assets of the  Corporation or the  Association,  unless the Committee shall have
otherwise provided in the instrument  evidencing the grant of an Option or Stock
Appreciation  Right,  all  Options  and Stock  Appreciation  Rights  theretofore
granted and not fully  exercisable  shall  become  exercisable  in full upon the
happening  of such event and shall remain so  exercisable  for a period of sixty
days following such date, after which they shall revert to being  exercisable in
accordance  with  their  terms;  provided,  however,  that no  Option  or  Stock
Appreciation  Right which has previously been exercised or otherwise  terminated
shall become exercisable.

       14.  Assignments  and Transfers.  No Award nor any right or interest of a
Participant under the Plan in any instrument evidencing any Award under the Plan
may be assigned,  encumbered or transferred except, in the event of the death of
a Participant, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or in the case of
Awards  other than  Incentive  Stock  Options  pursuant to a qualified  domestic
relations  order,  as  defined  in the Code or  Title I of  ERISA  or the  rules
thereunder.
<PAGE>
       15.  Employee  Rights Under the Plan.  No  director,  officer or employee
shall have a right to be selected as a Participant nor, having been so selected,
to be selected  again as a  Participant  and no director,  officer,  employee or
other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan
or  under  any  other  incentive  or  similar  plan  of the  Corporation  or any
Affiliate.  Neither the Plan nor any action taken  thereunder shall be construed
as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation
or any Affiliate.

       16. Delivery and Registration of Stock. The  Corporation's  obligation to
deliver Shares with respect to an Award shall, if the Committee so requests,  be
conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment  intention
of the Participant to whom such Shares are to be delivered,  in such form as the
Committee  shall  determine  to be  necessary  or  advisable  to comply with the
provisions of the Securities  Act of 1933 or any other  Federal,  state or local
securities legislation or regulation. It may be provided that any representation
requirement shall become inoperative

                                        6

<PAGE>

Awards and, in addition to the terms and conditions  contained in paragraphs (a)
through (f) of this Section 3, to provide such other terms and conditions (which
need not be identical  among  Participants)  in respect of such Awards,  and the
vesting thereof, as the Committee shall determine.

(a)       At the  time of an  Award,  the  Committee  shall  establish  for each
          Participant  a  Restricted  Period  which  shall not be less than five
          years,  during which or at the  expiration of which,  as the Committee
          shall determine and provide in the agreement  referred to in paragraph
          (d) of this Section 3, the Shares  awarded as  Restricted  Stock shall
          vest,  and  subject  to any such  other  terms and  conditions  as the
          Committee shall provide,  Shares of Restricted  Stock may not be sold,
          assigned,  transferred,  pledged, voted or otherwise encumbered by the
          Participant,  except as  hereinafter  provided,  during the Restricted
          Period.  During the  restricted  period,  Shares awarded as Restricted
          Stock  will be  voted  by an  independent  trustee  (which  may be the
          Trustee  identified in paragraph (c) of this Section 3) and not by the
          Participant.  Except for such restrictions,  and subject to paragraphs
          (c) and (e) of this Section 3 and Section 4 hereof, the Participant as
          owner of such shares shall have all the rights of a  stockholder.  The
          Committee shall have the authority,  in its discretion,  to accelerate
          the time at which  any or all of the  restrictions  shall  lapse  with
          respect  to an Award,  or to remove  any or all of such  restrictions,
          whenever it may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of
          changes  in  applicable   tax  or  other  laws  or  other  changes  in
          circumstances  occurring  after the  commencement  of such  Restricted
          Period.

(b)       Except as provided  in Section 5 hereof,  if a  Participant  ceases to
          maintain  Continuous  Service  for any  reason  (other  than  death or
          disability),  unless the  Committee  shall  otherwise  determine,  all
          Shares of Restricted Stock theretofore awarded to such Participant and
          which  at the  time of such  termination  of  Continuous  Service  are
          subject to the restrictions imposed by paragraph (a) of this Section 3
          shall upon such  termination  of  Continuous  Service be forfeited and
          returned  to the  Corporation.  If a  Participant  ceases to  maintain
          Continuous Service by reason of death or disability,  Restricted Stock
          then still  subject to  restrictions  imposed by paragraph (a) of this
          Section 3 will be free of those restrictions.
<PAGE>
(c)       (i) Unless the alternative procedure set forth in subparagraph (ii) of
          this paragraph (c) is followed,  each certificate in respect of Shares
          of Restricted  Stock awarded under the Plan shall be registered in the
          name of the  Participant  and deposited by the  Participant,  together
          with a stock power endorsed in blank,  with the  Corporation and shall
          bear the following (or a similar) legend:

                  The  transferability  of this  certificate  and the  shares of
            stock  represented  hereby are  subject to the terms and  conditions
            (including  forfeiture)  contained in the Amended and Restated  1998
            Management Recognition Plan of Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation.
            Copies of such Plan are on file in the offices of the  Secretary  of
            Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation, 101 East Court Street, Sidney,

                                        2

<PAGE>
        (ii) In lieu of issuing  certificates  for Shares of Restricted Stock to
        and in the name of the  Participant  at the time of an Award pursuant to
        subparagraph  (i) of this  paragraph  (c), the  Corporation  may instead
        issue such Shares on the Award date to and in the name of First  Bankers
        Trust  Company,  N.A.,  or any  successor,  as  trustee  under the Trust
        Agreement for the Peoples-Sidney  Financial  Corporation 1998 Management
        Recognition  Plan (the  "Trustee"),  to be held for the  benefit  of the
        Participant prior to vesting.

(d)       At the time of the granting of any Award, the Participant  shall enter
          into an  Agreement  with the  Corporation  in a form  specified by the
          Committee,  agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Award and such
          other  matters  as  the  Committee,  in  its  sole  discretion,  shall
          determine (the "Restricted Stock Agreement").

(e)       The payment to the  Participant  of any dividends  declared or paid by
          the Corporation on any Restricted  Stock shall be deferred and held by
          the Corporation (or by the Trustee,  if the Shares of Restricted Stock
          are issued in the name of the Trustee pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of
          paragraph  (c) of this  Section 3) for the account of the  Participant
          until the  earlier  to occur of (i) the  lapsing  of the  restrictions
          imposed under  paragraph (a) of this Section 3 or (ii) the  forfeiture
          of such shares under  paragraph  (b) of this Section 3. There shall be
          credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof)  interest on the
          amount  of the  Participant's  account  at a  rate  per  annum  as the
          Committee,  in its  discretion,  may  determine.  Payment of  deferred
          dividends to the Participant,  together with interest accrued thereon,
          shall be made  upon the  lapsing  of the  restrictions  imposed  under
          paragraph (a) of this Section 3. Shares of Restricted  Stock shall not
          be voted by the Participant  during the Restricted  Period.  Shares of
          Restricted  Stock still  subject to  restriction  shall be voted by an
          independent party to be named by the Committee.

(f)       At the lapsing of the  restrictions  imposed by paragraph  (a) of this
          Section 3, the  Corporation  shall,  (i) if the procedure set forth in
          subparagraph  (i) of  paragraph  (c) of this  Section  3 is  followed,
          deliver  to the  Participant  (or  where  the  relevant  provision  of
          paragraph  (b) of this  Section  3 applies  in the case of a  deceased
          Participant,  to his legal  representative,  beneficiary  or heir) the
          certificate(s)   and  stock  power   deposited  with  it  pursuant  to
          subparagraph  (i) of  paragraph  (c) of this  Section 3 and the Shares
          represented by such  certificate(s)  shall be free of the restrictions
          referred  to in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  Section  3 or  (ii)  if the
          procedure  set forth in  subparagraph  (ii) of  paragraph  (c) of this
          Section 3 is followed,  cause a certificate representing the number of
          Shares then vesting to be issued in the name of the Participant,  free
          of all  restrictions  initially  placed on such Shares.  Any remaining
          unvested  Shares  shall  continue to be held by and in the name of the
          Trustee for the benefit of the Participant until such Shares vest.

      4. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of any change
in the outstanding Shares subsequent to the effective date of the Plan by reason
of  any   reorganization,   recapitalization,   stock  split,   stock  dividend,
combination or exchange of shares,  merger,  consolidation  or any change in the
corporate  structure or Shares of the Corporation,  the maximum aggregate number
and class of shares as to which  Awards  may be  granted  under the Plan and the
number and class of shares with  respect to which Awards  theretofore  have been
<PAGE>
granted under the Plan shall be appropriately  adjusted by the Committee,  whose
determination  shall be  conclusive.  Any  shares  of stock or other  securities
received, as a result of any of the foregoing,  by a Participant with respect to
Restricted   Stock   shall  be  subject  to  the  same   restrictions   and  the
certificate(s)  or other  instruments  representing or evidencing such shares or
securities shall be issued in the manner provided in Section 3 hereof.

      5. Assignments and Transfers.  During the Restricted  Period, no Award nor
any  right  or  interest  of a  Participant  under  the  Plan in any  instrument
evidencing  any Award under the Plan may be assigned,  encumbered or transferred
except  (i) in the event of the  death of a  Participant,  to the  Participant's
Beneficiary, or (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined
in the Code or Title I of ERISA or the rules thereunder.

      6.  Administration.   The  Plan  shall  be  administered  by  a  Committee
consisting  of two or  more  members,  each  of  whom  shall  be a  Non-Employee
Director.  The  members  of the  Committee  shall be  appointed  by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Except as limited by the express provisions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have sole

                                        3

<PAGE>
and complete  authority and  discretion  to: (i) select  Participants  and grant
Awards;  (ii)  determine  the  number of Shares to be subject to types of Awards
generally,  as well as individual Awards granted under the Plan; (iii) determine
the terms and conditions upon which Awards shall be granted under the Plan; (iv)
prescribe  the form and terms of  instruments  evidencing  such grants;  and (v)
establish  from time to time  regulations  for the  administration  of the Plan,
interpret the Plan, and make all  determinations  deemed  necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.

      A majority of the Committee shall  constitute a quorum,  and the acts of a
majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present,  or
acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee without a meeting, shall
be acts of the Committee.

      7. Shares  Subject to Plan.  Subject to  adjustment  by the  operation  of
Section 4 hereof,  the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may
be made under the Plan is 71,415 Shares. The Shares with respect to which Awards
may be made  under  the Plan may be either  authorized  and  unissued  Shares or
issued Shares heretofore or hereafter reacquired and held as treasury Shares. An
Award shall not be  considered  to have been made under the Plan with respect to
Restricted Stock which is forfeited and new Awards may be granted under the Plan
with respect to the number of Shares as to which such forfeiture has occurred.

      The  Corporation's  obligation to deliver  Shares with respect to an Award
shall,  if the  Committee  so  requests,  be  conditioned  upon the receipt of a
representation  as to the investment  intention of the  Participant or any other
person to whom such Shares are to be  delivered,  in such form as the  Committee
shall  determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the  provisions  of
the  Securities  Act of 1933 or any  other  Federal,  state or local  securities
legislation  or  regulation.   It  may  be  provided  that  any   representation
requirement shall become  inoperative upon a registration of the Shares or other
action  eliminating the necessity of such  representation  under such Securities
Act or other securities  legislation.  The Corporation  shall not be required to
deliver any Shares  under the Plan prior to (i) the  admission of such shares to
listing on any stock  exchange on which Shares may then be listed,  and (ii) the
completion of such registration or other  qualification of such Shares under any
state or Federal law, rule or regulation, as the Committee shall determine to be
necessary or advisable.

      8.  Employee  Rights  Under  the Plan.  No  director,  director  emeritus,
advisory  director,  officer or employee  shall have a right to be selected as a
Participant nor, having been so selected,  to be selected again as a Participant
and no director, officer, employee or other person shall have any claim or right
to be granted an Award  under the Plan or under any other  incentive  or similar
plan of the Corporation or any Affiliate.  Neither the Plan nor any action taken
thereunder  shall be construed as giving any officer or employee any right to be
retained in the employ of the Corporation, the Association or any Affiliate.

      9.  Withholding  Tax. Upon the  termination of the Restricted  Period with
respect to any shares of Restricted Stock (or at such earlier time, if any, that
an election is made by the  Participant  under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any
successor  provision  thereto,  to include  the value of such  shares in taxable
income), the Corporation may, in its sole discretion,  withhold from any payment
or distribution  made under this Plan sufficient  Shares or withhold  sufficient
cash to cover any applicable  withholding and employment  taxes. The Corporation
<PAGE>
shall have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect to shares of
Restricted  Stock the amount of any taxes which the  Corporation  is required to
withhold with respect to such dividend  payments.  No discretion or choice shall
be conferred upon any Participant with respect to the form,  timing or method of
any such tax withholding.

      10.  Amendment or  Termination.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation
may amend,  suspend or  terminate  the Plan or any portion  thereof at any time;
provided,  however,  that no such  amendment,  suspension or  termination  shall
impair  the  rights  of any  Participant,  without  his  consent,  in any  Award
theretofore made pursuant to the Plan.

      11. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its ratification by
the stockholders of the  Corporation.  It shall continue in effect for a term of
ten years unless sooner terminated under Section 11 hereof.


                                        4

<PAGE>
      12. Director Awards. By, and simultaneously with, the ratification of this
Plan by the stockholders of the  Corporation,  each  non-employee  member of the
Board of Directors of the  Corporation is hereby granted an Award equal to 3,570
Shares.  Each such Award shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement in a
form  approved by the  Corporation  and shall be subject in all  respects to the
terms and conditions of this Plan,  which are  controlling.  Except as otherwise
provided  herein or in the applicable  Restricted  Stock  Agreement,  all Awards
granted  pursuant  to this  Section  12 shall be  earned  in five  equal  annual
installments,  with the first installment vesting on the one-year anniversary of
the date of grant, as long as the director maintains Continuous Service with the
Corporation or its Affiliates,  provided,  however,  no Award shall be earned in
any fiscal year in which the Association fails to meet its capital requirements.

                                                               Dear Shareholder:

As you will see as you review this report,  fiscal 1999 was a year of growth for
our  Corporation   and  its   subsidiary,   Peoples  Federal  Savings  and  Loan
Association.  This growth,  both in operations and physical  structures will now
serve as a foundation as we prepare to enter the next millennium.

The Corporation experienced increases in assets, deposits, mortgage and consumer
loans.  These gains were enhanced by the addition of consumer and business lines
of credit and  agricultural  operation  loans.  Assets  increased 10%,  reaching
$117,000,000 at June 30, 1999.  Deposits reached  $84,300,000 at our fiscal year
end, a 7% gain. Total mortgage loans increased $7,100,000 to $101,700,000, an 8%
increase  over fiscal 1998.  You will also note that our consumer and other loan
portfolio reflected a 92% increase to $4,130,000.

Net income for the year totaled $510,376 or $.32 per share.  Although net income
was  lower  than the  previous  year,  the  Corporation's  income  reflects  the
additional  costs of our two new  facilities  and  additional  staff in Anna and
Jackson  Center,  Ohio.  I am pleased  to report  that our  branch  offices  are
currently  operating at their  anticipated  levels and will soon celebrate their
one-year  anniversaries.  Additional  costs were also  recognized to enhance our
employee  benefit plans which were approved by the shareholders on May 22, 1998.
The Corporation is now poised at a new plateau of operations  which,  over time,
will continue to enhance shareholder value.

Speaking of shareholder  value,  during the past year we continued to manage our
capital  position by completing two separate stock buybacks.  A total of 176,881
shares were purchased in the open market.  Outstanding shares at June 30 totaled
1,664,622,  a  9.6%  decrease.  As  favorable  market  conditions  prevail,  the
Corporation  will  continue  stock  repurchases.  Our current  capital  ratio is
14.85%, well in excess of regulatory requirements.

Our portfolio of services is constantly monitored to offer contemporary products
which meet our customers needs.  During the past year, as a result of a study to
enhance operations,  we elected to discontinue  offering our VISA and Mastercard
credit card program. The entire program was sold to a provider who will continue
offering this service to our  customers.  Our products were,  however,  enhanced
with the addition of a Master Money Debit Card program. The initial results have
been favorable.


In conclusion, Peoples-Sidney Financial Corporation and its subsidiary are proud
of the  talent  and  dedication  of its  biggest  asset...its  employees.  Their
enthusiasm to promote our services and assist customers remains  noteworthy.  As
we move  forward I can assure you that our  Directors,  Officers  and staff will
diligently guard the interests of our shareholders.  I invite you to promote our
company and use our services.

                                                              Sincerely,

company  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Delaware,  owns all of the
issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock of  Peoples  Federal  Savings  and Loan
Association ("Association"),  a savings and loan association chartered under the
laws of the United States together referred to as the Corporation.  On April 25,

to holding the common shares of the Association.

Serving the Sidney, Ohio area since 1886, the Association conducts business from
its main office at 101 East Court Street,  Sidney, Ohio. During fiscal 1999, the
Association opened full-service  branches in Anna and Jackson Center,  Ohio. The
Association's  business involves attracting deposits from the general public and
using such deposits to originate one- to four-family  permanent and construction
residential mortgages and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, consumer,
land,  multi-family and commercial business loans in its market area, consisting
primarily of Shelby County and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Association also
invests in  securities  consisting  primarily  of U.S.  government  obligations,
mortgage-backed  and related  securities and various types of short-term  liquid
assets.

As a savings  and loan  holding  company,  Peoples  is  subject  to  regulation,
supervision  and  examination by the Office of Thrift  Supervision of the United
States  Department of the Treasury  ("OTS").  As a savings and loan  association
chartered  under the laws of the United  States,  the  Association is subject to
regulation,  supervision  and  examination  by the OTS and the  Federal  Deposit

In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, OTS regulations impose
limitations  on the payment of  dividends  and other  capital  distributions  by
savings  associations.  Under OTS  regulations  applicable to converted  savings
associations,  the  Association  is not  permitted to pay a cash dividend on its
common shares if its regulatory  capital  would,  as a result of payment of such
dividend,  be reduced below the amount required for the Liquidation Account (the
account  established for the purpose of granting a limited priority claim on the
assets of the Association in the event of complete  liquidation to those members
of the  Association  before the Conversion who maintain a savings account at the
Association after the Conversion), or applicable regulatory capital requirements
prescribed by the OTS.

OTS regulations  applicable to all savings and loan associations  provide that a
savings  association may make capital  distributions  in a calendar year without
prior  notice to the OTS as long as the  distributions  do not  exceed an amount
equal to the  savings  association's  net  income for that year to date plus the
savings  association's  retained  net income  for the  preceding  two years.  An
application  and  approval  from  the  OTS  must  be  obtained  if the  proposed
distribution would cause total  distributions for that year to exceed net income
for that year to date plus the savings association's retained net income for the
preceding  two years.  Savings  associations  would be required to file a notice
with the OTS whenever an  application  would not be required  based on the above
and: (1) The savings  association  will not be at least  adequately  capitalized
following the capital  distribution;  (2) The capital  distribution would reduce
the  amount  of,  or  retire  any part of the  savings  association's  common or
preferred  stock,  or  retire  any  part of debt  instruments  such as  notes or
debentures  included in capital;  (3) The proposed  distribution would violate a
prohibition contained in any applicable statute, regulation or agreement between
the savings association and the OTS (or the FDIC), or a condition imposed on the
savings  association  in an  OTS-approved  application  or  notice;  or, (4) The
savings association is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS

General

The  following  is  management's  analysis  of  the  Corporation's  consolidated
financial  condition  and  consolidated  results of operations as of and for the
year ended June 30, 1999,  compared to prior years.  This discussion is designed
to provide a more  comprehensive  review of the operating  results and financial
position  than  could  be  obtained  from  an  examination  of the  consolidated
financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  footnotes  and  the  selected
financial data included elsewhere in this report.

On November  8, 1996,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Association  unanimously
adopted a Plan of  Conversion  to  convert  from a  federally  chartered  mutual
savings and loan  association  to a federally  chartered  stock savings and loan
association with the concurrent  formation of a holding company.  The conversion
was consummated on April 25, 1997 by amending the Association's  charter and the
sale of Peoples'  common  stock in an amount equal to the pro forma market value
of the Association  after giving effect to the conversion.  A total of 1,785,375
common  shares of Peoples were sold at $10.00 per share.  Net proceeds  from the
sale were $17,217,944 after deducting the costs of conversion.  Peoples retained
50% of the net proceeds from the sale of common shares. The remainder of the net
proceeds was invested in the capital stock issued by the  Association to Peoples
because of the conversion.

The Corporation  provides  financial services through its main office in Sidney,
Ohio, and branch offices in Anna and Jackson  Center,  Ohio. Its primary deposit
products are checking,  savings and term  certificate  accounts,  and it 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 real estate.  Commercial loans are expected
to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are
secured by both  residential  and  commercial  real  estate.  Substantially  all
revenues  and  services  are derived  from  financial  institution  products and
services in Shelby County and contiguous counties.

Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $116.9 million  compared to $105.9 million at
June 30, 1998,  an increase of $11.0  million,  or 10.4%.  The increase in total
assets was primarily due to an increase in loans,  securities available for sale
and premises and  equipment  funded by a decrease in cash and cash  equivalents,
and an increase in deposits and borrowed funds.

Interest-bearing  deposits with other banks decreased $1.7 million and overnight
funds  decreased $2.0 million from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999 to provide for
loan growth.  The excess of such funds, which were not used to fund loan growth,
was invested in securities available for sale to improve earnings.

Securities  available for sale increased $3.8 million from June 30, 1998 to June
30, 1999.  The  Corporation  borrowed  $5.0 million in June 1999 under a 10-year
fixed-rate advance from the FHLB and purchased GNMA  mortgage-backed  securities
with an original par value of $5.0 million to leverage some of the Corporation's
excess capital.

Loans  receivable  increased $8.7 million from $94.1 million at June 30, 1998 to
$102.8 million at June 30, 1999. The  Corporation  experienced  increases in all
mortgage loan categories except for real estate construction and development and
land. The largest  increase was in one- to four-family  residential  real estate
loans which increased $4.5 million while multi-family residential and commercial
real estate loans  increased a combined total of $3.5 million.  These  increases
were partially  offset by a $846,000  decrease in real estate  construction  and
development  loans.  The overall increase and continued growth in total mortgage
loans is reflective of a strong local economy coupled with attractive loan rates
and products compared to local competition.  The Corporation has not changed its
philosophy regarding pricing or underwriting standards during the year.

The  Corporation's  consumer  and other loan  portfolio  increased  $2.0 million
between June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999.  The increase was primarily  related to
new auto loans and commercial  lines of credit  originated at the  Association's
two new branch  locations.  Even with the  increase,  consumer  and other  loans
remain a small portion of the entire loan portfolio and represented only 3.9% of
gross loans at June 30, 1999 compared to 2.2% at June 30, 1998.

Premises and equipment increased $1.0 million from $1.0 million at June 30, 1998
to $2.0 million at June 30, 1999. The increase  resulted because the Corporation
constructed  a new,  full-service  branch  banking  office  in Anna,  Ohio.  The
Corporation  also  purchased  equipment  and  made  leasehold   improvements  in
connection  with the opening of a new,  leased branch  banking office in Jackson
Center, Ohio.
<PAGE>
Total  deposits  increased  $5.2 million from $79.1  million at June 30, 1998 to
$84.3 million at June 30, 1999.  The  Corporation  experienced  increases in all
types of deposits.  The majority of deposit  growth was in negotiable  orders of
withdrawal ("NOW") accounts,  which increased by $1.5 million, savings accounts,
which increased by $1.1 million and certificates of deposit,  which increased by
$1.3  million.  The  increases  in the various  deposit  types are the result of
regular  interest-rate  promotions,  as well as  special  promotions  offered in
connection with the opening of new branch  locations in Anna and Jackson Center,
Ohio.  All  certificates  of deposit  mature within five years with the majority
maturing in the next two years.

                                                                               9
<PAGE>
Borrowed  funds  totaled $14.8 million at June 30, 1999 and $7.0 million at June
30, 1998.  Borrowings  at June 30, 1999  consisted of $2.8 million in short-term
cash management advances and $12.0 million in long-term fixed-rate advances. The
$5.0 million  long-term  fixed-rate  advance borrowed in June 1999 was discussed
above. The remaining $7.0 million in long-term  fixed-rate  advance was borrowed
near the end of fiscal 1998 under a 10-year  fixed-rate advance from the FHLB of
Cincinnati to fund a $4.00 per share special dividend,  of which $3.99 was a tax
free return of capital,  totaling $7.1 million.  The Corporation paid the return
of capital on June 26, 1998 as a means of reducing the excess  capital  provided
from the stock conversion.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $2.2 million from $19.6 million at June 30,
1998 to $17.4 million at June 30, 1999.  The net decrease is due to the purchase
of treasury stock, the  establishment  of a Management  Recognition Plan ("MRP")
and paying out almost all the  Corporation's  1999  earnings in  dividends.  The
decrease is part of Management's  capital  planning  strategy.  During 1999, the
Corporation's Board of Directors approved two separate 5% stock buybacks,  which
were completed prior to June 30, 1999.


Results of Operations

The  operating  results of the  Corporation  are  affected  by general  economic
conditions,  the  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of federal  agencies  and the
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 the demand for real estate loans and other types of loans,  which
in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made,  general
economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities.

The  Corporation's  net income  primarily  depends upon its net interest income,
which is the difference  between the interest income earned on  interest-earning
assets,  such  as  loans  and  securities,  and  interest  expense  incurred  on
interest-bearing  liabilities,  such as deposits and other borrowings. The level
of net interest  income is dependent upon the interest rate  environment and the
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.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the
  Year Ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998

Net Income.  The  Corporation  earned net income of $510,000  for the year ended
June 30, 1999 compared to net income of  $1,233,000  for the year ended June 30,
1998. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest
income combined with an increase in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income totaled  $3,752,000 for the year ended
June 30,  1999  compared  to  $4,123,000  for the year  ended June 30,  1998,  a
decrease  of  $371,000,  or 9.0%.  The  decrease  was the  result of  additional
interest paid on borrowed funds.
<PAGE>
Interest and fees on loans increased $234,000,  or 3.1%, from $7,463,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998 to  $7,697,000  for the year ended June 30,  1999.  The
increase in interest income was due to higher average loans receivable,  related
primarily  to  the  origination  of new  commercial  real  estate  and  one-  to
four-family residential loans. The increase in interest and fees on loans due to
volume was  partially  offset by a decline in the yield  earned on loans,  which
dropped from 8.09% for 1998 to 7.88% for 1999.


                                  (Continued)

Interest earned on securities  totaled $229,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999
compared  to  $252,000   for  the  year  ended  June  30,   1998.   Interest  on
interest-bearing  demand,  time and  overnight  deposits  with  other  financial
institutions decreased $177,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
year  ended  June 30,  1998.  The  decreases  were the  result of lower  average
balances of  securities  and  interest-bearing  deposits  and  decreases  in the
average yields earned on such investments.

Dividends on FHLB stock increased slightly over the comparable periods due to an
increase in the number of shares of FHLB stock owned.

Interest  paid on  deposits  decreased  $55,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999
compared  to the  year  ended  June  30,  1998.  The  average  balance  for  all
interest-bearing deposits increased and the mix of the deposit portfolio shifted
slightly from certificates of deposit to transaction accounts.  The average cost
of deposits  decreased  from 5.06% for the year ended June 30, 1998 to 4.80% for
the year ended June 30,  1999.  The  decrease in the average  cost of funds more
than offset the increase in volume.

Interest  paid on borrowed  funds  totaled  $470,000 for the year ended June 30,
1999 compared to $6,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998.  The  Corporation  did
not borrow  funds  during 1998 until June 25, 1998 to fund the return of capital
discussed  previously.  Management  borrowed short- and long-term funds from the
FHLB throughout 1999 to fund loan growth and leverage some of the  Corporation's
excess capital.

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 inherent 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  which is  considered
adequate to absorb probable losses inherent 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 year ended June 30, 1999 totaled  $104,000
compared to $41,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $63,000, or
151.7%. The allowance for loan losses totaled $529,000,  or 0.50% of gross loans
receivable  and 70.0% of total  nonperforming  loans at June 30, 1999,  compared
with  $426,000,   or  0.44%  of  gross  loans  receivable  and  44.4%  of  total
nonperforming loans at June 30, 1998. Charge-offs experienced by the Corporation
have primarily related to consumer and other non-real estate loans. As indicated
previously,  such loans make up a small portion of the Corporation's  total loan
portfolio. 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 90% for
purchase or construction of one- to four-family  residential  properties and 75%
for commercial real estate and land loans,  established  income  information and

<PAGE>
defined ratios of debt to income.  Notwithstanding  the charge-off  history,  as
well as a  lower  volume  of  nonperforming  loans,  management  believes  it is
necessary to continue to increase the  allowance  for loan losses as total loans
increase. Accordingly, management anticipates it will continue its provisions to
the allowance for loan losses as loan growth continues.

Noninterest   income.   Noninterest  income  includes  service  fees  and  other
miscellaneous  income and  totaled  $89,000  for the year  ended  June 30,  1999
compared to $63,000 for the year ended June 30,  1998.  The primary  reasons for
the increase were higher late charge income and service  charges on NOW accounts
due to the increase in the number of accounts.


                                  (Continued)

<PAGE>
Noninterest  expense.  Noninterest expense totaled $2,872,000 for the year ended
June 30,  1999  compared  to  $2,205,000  for the year ended June 30,  1998,  an
increase of $667,000 or 30.3%. The increase is primarily related to compensation
and benefits, occupancy expenses and state franchise taxes.

Compensation and benefits expense increased $409,000,  or 37.5%. The increase is
the result of normal, annual merit increases,  the addition of employees for the
two new  branches  and the added  expense of the MRP,  which  began in May 1998.
Compensation  expense  related to the MRP was $187,000 and $20,000 for the years
ended  June  30,  1999 and  1998.  Occupancy  and  equipment  expense  increased
$128,000, or 82.0%, due to the added costs of the two new branch offices.  State
franchise  taxes  increased  $70,000,  or  32.7%,  due to being  taxed at higher
capital levels at the Association for a full year for 1999. The third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1998 were the first periods impacted by the capital raised in
the  conversion.  The  increase  in other  expense was  attributable  to various
miscellaneous items.

Income  Tax  Expense.   The  volatility  of  income  tax  expense  is  primarily
attributable  to the change in income before  income  taxes.  Income tax expense
totaled  $354,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999  compared to $706,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $352,000,  or 49.9%.  The  effective tax
rates  were  40.9%  and  36.4%  for the  years  ended  June 30,  1999 and  1998,
respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate  primarily  relates to the
Corporation's  stock-based benefit plans and their relative tax impact resulting
from lower pretax earnings.

Prior to the enactment of legislation discussed below, thrifts which met certain
tests  relating to the  composition  of assets had been  permitted  to establish
reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto which could,  within
specified  formula limits,  be taken as a deduction in computing  taxable income
for federal  income tax purposes.  The amount of the bad debt reserve  deduction
for  "nonqualifying  loans" was computed under the experience method. The amount
of the bad debt reserve  deduction for "qualifying real property loans" could be
computed under either the experience  method or the percentage of taxable income
method, based on an annual election.

In August  1996,  legislation  was enacted  that  repeals the reserve  method of
accounting  used by many thrifts to calculate their bad debt reserve for federal
income tax  purposes.  Therefore,  small  thrifts such as the  Association  must
recapture  that  portion of the reserve  that exceeds the amount that could have
been taken under the experience  method for tax years  beginning  after December
31, 1987.  The  legislation  also requires  thrifts to account for bad debts for
federal income tax purposes on the same basis as commercial  banks for tax years
beginning  after  December 31, 1995.  The  recapture  will occur over a six-year
period,  the  commencement  of which was delayed  until the first  taxable  year
beginning  after  December  31,  1997,  provided  the  institution  met  certain
residential  lending  requirements.  At  June  30,  1999,  the  Association  had
approximately  $484,000 in bad debt  reserves  subject to recapture  for federal
income tax  purposes.  The deferred tax  liability  related to the recapture has
been previously  established.  In fiscal 1999, $97,000 of bad debt reserves were
recaptured.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the
  Year Ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997

Net Income.  The Corporation  earned net income of $1,233,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1998  compared  to net income of  $564,000  for the year ended June 30,
1997.  The  increase  in net  income was  primarily  due to an  increase  in net

<PAGE>
interest income and reduced FDIC deposit insurance  premiums partially offset by
an increase in the noninterest  expense categories of compensation and benefits,
state franchise taxes and other expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income totaled  $4,123,000 for the year ended
June 30,  1998  compared  to  $3,138,000  for the year ended June 30,  1997,  an
increase  of  $985,000,   or  31.4%.  The  change  in  net  interest  income  is
attributable to higher average balances of  interest-earning  assets funded with
the  proceeds  from the mutual to stock  conversion.


                                  (Continued)

Interest and fees on loans increased $658,000,  or 9.7%, from $6,805,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1997 to  $7,463,000  for the year ended June 30,  1998.  The
increase in interest income was due to higher average loans receivable,  related
primarily  to the  origination  of new  one-  to  four-family  first  mortgages.
Additionally,  interest on loans was also  enhanced by a slight  increase in the
average  yield  earned on loans from  8.06% for the year ended June 30,  1997 to
8.09% for the year ended June 30, 1998.

Interest earned on securities  totaled $252,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998
compared to $141,000  for the year ended June 30, 1997.  Similarly,  interest on
interest-bearing  demand,  time and  overnight  deposits  with  other  financial
institutions increased $100,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
year ended  June 30,  1997.  The  increases  were the  result of higher  average
balances of securities and interest-bearing  deposits partly offset by decreases
in the average yields earned on such investments.

Dividends on FHLB stock increased slightly over the comparable periods due to an
increase in the number of shares of FHLB stock owned  combined  with an increase
in the dividend rate paid by the FHLB.

Interest  paid on  deposits  decreased  $47,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998
compared  to the year  ended  June 30,  1997.  There  was  little  change in the
interest  paid  on  deposits  as the  average  balance  and  mix of the  deposit
portfolio  remained  fairly stable while the average cost of deposits  decreased
slightly from 5.09% for the year ended June 30, 1997 to 5.06% for the year ended
June 30, 1998.

Interest paid on borrowed  funds totaled $6,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998
compared to $65,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease was a result
of a decrease in the average level of borrowings over the comparable period. The
Corporation  did not borrow  funds  during  1998 until June 25, 1998 to fund the
return of capital  discussed  previously.  Throughout 1997, the Corporation used
short-term advances from the FHLB to provide liquidity for loan growth.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended June
30, 1998 totaled $41,000  compared to $103,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997,
a decrease of $62,000, or 60.2%. The allowance for loan losses totaled $426,000,
or 0.44% of total loans  receivable  and 44.4% of total  nonperforming  loans at
June 30, 1998,  compared with $397,000,  or 0.43% of total loans  receivable and
45.8%  of total  nonperforming  loans at June 30,  1997.  The  reduction  in the
provision was  reflective of the fact that the  Corporation  did not  experience
significant  charge-offs during 1998. Charge-offs experienced by the Corporation
have primarily related to consumer and other non-real estate loans. As indicated
previously,  such loans make up a small portion of the Corporation's  total loan
portfolio.

Noninterest  income.  Noninterest  income totaled  $63,000 for each of the years
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Noninterest  expense.  Noninterest expense totaled $2,205,000 for the year ended
June 30,  1998  compared  to  $2,222,000  for the year  ended June 30,  1997,  a
decrease of $17,000,  or 0.8%.  Increases in  compensation  and benefits,  state
franchise taxes and other expenses were offset by a decrease in the FDIC deposit
insurance premiums.
<PAGE>
Compensation and benefits expense increased $216,000,  or 24.7%. The increase is
the result of normal, annual merit increases,  the addition of new employees and
the added expense of employee benefit plans. The expense related to the employee
stock  ownership  plan  increased as the  Corporation  was able to allocate more
shares to  participants  in 1998.  Compensation  expense related to the ESOP was
$250,000  for the year ended June 30, 1998  compared  to  $136,000  for the year
ended June 30, 1997. The Corporation also  implemented a Management  Recognition
Plan ("MRP") in May 1998,  which resulted in expense of $20,000 for fiscal 1998.
State  franchise  taxes  increased  $80,000,  or  59.7%,  due to the  change  in
corporate  structure  during  fiscal 1997 and the resulting tax impact of higher
capital levels at the Association and earnings at the Corporation. The third and
fourth  quarters of fiscal 1998 were the first  periods  impacted by the capital
raised in the  conversion.  The increase in other  expense was  attributable  to

increases in professional  service fees and printing costs. These increases were
largely related to the conversion to stock ownership.

The FDIC deposit  insurance premium was $49,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998
compared  to  $560,000  for the year ended June 30,  1997.  Included in the year
ended June 30,  1997 was a special  deposit  insurance  assessment  of  $456,000
resulting  from   legislation   enacted  into  law  on  September  30,  1996  to
recapitalize  the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The
SAIF was below the level  required by law because a  significant  portion of the
assessments paid into the SAIF by thrifts,  like the  Association,  were used to
pay the cost of prior thrift  failures.  The  legislation  called for a one-time
assessment  estimated  at $0.657 for each $100 in deposits  held as of March 31,
1995.  Because of the  recapitalization  of the SAIF, the disparity between bank
and  thrift  insurance   assessments  was  reduced.   Thrifts  had  been  paying
assessments of $.23 per $100 of deposits,  which, for most thrifts,  was reduced
to $.064 per $100 in deposits in January  1997 and is scheduled to be reduced to
$.024 per $100 in deposits no later than January 2000.

Income  Tax  Expense.   The  volatility  of  income  tax  expense  is  primarily
attributable  to the change in income before  income  taxes.  Income tax expense
totaled  $706,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998  compared to $312,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1997, a increase of $394,000,  or 126.3%.  The effective tax
rates  were  36.4%  and  35.6%  for the  years  ended  June 30,  1998 and  1997,
respectively.

Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the  Corporation's  average  balance  sheet and reflects the average
yield  on  interest-earning  assets  and the  average  cost of  interest-bearing
liabilities  for the  periods  indicated.  Such  yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average balances of interest-earning assets or
interest-bearing liabilities,  respectively,  for the periods presented. Average
balances are derived from average daily  balances.  Nonaccruing  loans have been
included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

The table below  describes  the extent to which  changes in  interest  rates and
changes in volume of interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities
have affected the  Corporation's  interest  income and expense  during the years
indicated.  For each category of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities,  information is provided on changes  attributable to (1) changes in
volume (multiplied by prior year rate), (2) changes in rate (multiplied by prior
year volume) and (3) total changes in rate and volume.  The combined  effects of
changes in both volume and rate, that are not separately  identified,  have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and change due to rate:

Asset and Liability Management

The Association,  like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate
risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its
interest-bearing  liabilities.  As part of its  effort  to  monitor  and  manage
interest rate risk,  the  Association  uses the "net  portfolio  value"  ("NPV")
methodology adopted by the OTS as part of its capital regulations.  Although the
Association is not currently  subject to NPV regulation  because such regulation
does not  apply to  institutions  with  less than  $300  million  in assets  and
risk-based  capital  in  excess  of  12%,  application  of NPV  methodology  may
illustrate the Association's interest rate risk.
<PAGE>
Generally,  NPV is the  discounted  present  value  of  the  difference  between
incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows
on  interest-bearing  and other liabilities.  The application of the methodology
attempts  to  quantify  interest  rate risk as the  change in the NPV that would
result from a theoretical 200 basis point (1 basis point equals 0.01%) change in
market interest rates.  Both a 200 basis point increase in market interest rates
and a 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates are  considered.  If the
NPV would  decrease  by more than 2% of the present  value of the  institution's
assets with either an increase or a decrease in market  rates,  the  institution
must  deduct  50%  of the  amount  of  decrease  in  excess  of  such  2% in the
calculation of the institution's risk-based capital.

At March 31, 1999, the most recent date with  available  data, 2% of the present
value of the Association's assets was $2,203,000. Because the interest rate risk
of a 200 basis point  decrease in market  interest rates (which was greater than
the interest rate risk of a 200 basis point  increase)  was  $2,905,000 at March
31, 1999, the Association would have been required to make additional deductions
from its capital of  $351,000 in  determining  whether the  Association  met its
risk-based capital requirement.  Even with the deduction,  the Association would
have still exceeded its risk-based capital requirement.

Presented  below,  as of March 31,  1999,  is an analysis  of the  Association's
interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained
parallel  shifts of 100 basis points in market interest rates. As illustrated in
the table, NPV is more sensitive to declining rates than rising rates. Since the
Association is primarily a residential  mortgage lender,  the mortgage portfolio
makes up nearly 90% of total assets.  Faster  prepayment  speeds under a falling
rate environment, along with the large percentage of adjustable-rate loans, make
the  Association  more  sensitive when interest  rates fall.  Additionally,  the
Association has significant long-term fixed-rate FHLB advances that increase the
Association's sensitivity to a falling rate environment.

</TABLE>

As with any method of measuring  interest rate risk,  certain  shortcomings  are
inherent  in  the  NPV  approach.  For  example,  although  certain  assets  and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing,  they may react
in different  degrees to changes in market  interest  rates.  Also, the interest
rates on certain  types of assets and  liabilities  may  fluctuate in advance of
changes in market  interest  rates,  while interest rates on other types may lag
behind  changes in market rates.  Further,  in the event of a change in interest
rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed  securities and
early  withdrawal  levels from  certificates  of deposit  would  likely  deviate
significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations.

The  Corporation's  principal  sources of funds are deposits,  loan  repayments,
maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations. The Corporation
also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB.  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  Corporation  maintains  investments in liquid
assets based upon  management's  assessment of (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.

OTS regulations  presently  require the Association to maintain an average daily
balance of investments in United States Treasury, federal agency obligations and
other  investments  in an  amount  equal  to 4% of the sum of the  Association's
average  daily  balance of net  withdrawable  deposit  accounts  and  borrowings
payable in one year or less.  The  liquidity  requirement,  which may be changed
from  time to  time  by the OTS to  reflect  changing  economic  conditions,  is
intended to provide a source of relatively liquid funds on which the Association
may rely, if necessary,  to fund deposit withdrawals or other short-term funding
needs. At June 30, 1999, the  Association's  regulatory  liquidity was 7.47%. At
such date, the Corporation had  commitments to originate  fixed-rate  commercial
and  residential  real  estate  loans  totaling   $375,000,   and  variable-rate
commercial and residential  real estate mortgage loans totaling  $394,000.  Loan
commitments are generally for 30 days. The  Corporation  considers its liquidity
and capital  reserves  sufficient to meet its  outstanding  short- and long-term
needs. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
<PAGE>
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 June 30, 1999 and 1998, 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 June
30, 1999 and 1998. No conditions or events have occurred  subsequent to the last
notification  by  regulators  that  management  believes  would have changed the
Association's category.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities" - SFAS 133 requires companies to
record  derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or  liabilities,  measured at
fair  value.  Gains or losses  resulting  from  changes  in the  values of those
derivatives  would be accounted for depending on the use of the  derivative  and
whether  it  qualifies  for  hedge  accounting.  The  key  criterion  for  hedge
accounting  is that  the  hedging  relationship  must  be  highly  effective  in
achieving  offsetting  changes  in fair value or cash  flows.  SFAS 133 does not
allow  hedging  of  a  security   which  is  classified  as  held  to  maturity.
Accordingly,  upon adoption of SFAS 133,  companies may  reclassify any security
from held to maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to hedge the
security in the  future.  SFAS 133,  as amended by SFAS 137,  is  effective  for
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000 with early adoption  encouraged for
any  fiscal  quarter  beginning  July 1,  1998  or  later,  with no  retroactive
application.  Management  does  not  expect  the  adoption  SFAS  133 to  have a
significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

SFAS No. 134,  "Accounting  for  Mortgage-Backed  Securities  Retained After the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise"
- - SFAS 134 changes the way  companies  involved in mortgage  banking  activities
account  for  certain   securities   and  other   interests  they  retain  after
securitizing  mortgage  loans  that  were  held for sale.  SFAS 134  allows  any
retained  mortgage-backed  securities after a  securitization  of mortgage loans
held for sale to be classified  based on holding intent in accordance  with SFAS
115, except in cases where the retained mortgage-backed security is committed to
be sold before or during the  securitization  process,  in which case it must be
classified as trading.  Previously, all retained mortgage-backed securities were
required to be classified as trading. SFAS 134 was effective as of July 1, 1999,
and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and Notes  included  herein  have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles  ("GAAP").
Presently,  GAAP  requires the  Corporation  to measure  financial  position and
operating  results  primarily  in  terms of  historic  dollars.  Changes  in the
relative  value of  money  due to  inflation  or  recession  are  generally  not
considered.

In  management's  opinion,  changes  in  interest  rates  affect  the  financial
condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the
inflation  rate.  While interest rates are greatly  influenced by changes in the
inflation  rate, they do not change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as
the inflation rate. Rather,  interest rate volatility is based on changes in the
expected  rate of  inflation,  as well as on  changes  in  monetary  and  fiscal
policies.

Year 2000 ("Y2K") Issue

The Corporation's  lending and deposit  activities are almost entirely dependent
upon  computer  systems  which  process and record  transactions,  although  the
Corporation can  effectively  operate with manual systems for brief periods when
its electronic systems  malfunction or cannot be accessed.  The Corporation uses
the services of a  nationally-recognized  data  processing  service  bureau that
specializes in data  processing for financial  institutions.  In addition to its
basic operating  activities,  the Corporation's  facilities and  infrastructure,
such as security systems and communications equipment, are dependent, to varying
degrees, upon computer systems.

The  Corporation  began by identifying  mission  critical  systems in the fourth
quarter of 1997.  Every system was reviewed and inventoried and determined to be
"mission critical" or "nonmission  critical." Mission critical systems are those
critical to providing service to the customers by maintaining  customer records,
general  accounting  functions  and those  that would  impact the  Corporation's
liquidity if they should fail.

The following systems were identified as mission critical by management. A brief
description on the status of each system is listed below.

     1.   File servers and Novell network
     2.   Teller equipment and NCR BMS teller and new accounts software
     3.   Other personal computers
     4.   NCR Starcom account processing including ACH items and EDS (Jeannie)
     5.   IPS accounting software
     6.   Federal Home Loan Bank
     7.   Bankers Systems, Inc. new loan software
     8.   EDS

File Servers and Novell Network

Due to two new branches,  two new Compaq file servers were purchased in 1998 and
have been verified as Y2K compliant.  The Novell  operating  software was either
upgraded or purchased and has been verified as Y2K compliant. One file server at
a branch  location will not rollover the date into the next century,  but can be
manually set and will  correctly  handle dates forward  including leap year. The
file server and  software  were tested at the Sidney  location in August 1998 by
advancing the date to the next century and performing daily teller functions.

Teller Equipment and NCR Software

All personal  computer-based  equipment  and NCR software  were updated and then
tested in August 1998. The testing included running of transactions in Year 2000
environment  against an  on-line  test file.  Review of the  results  showed the
processing operated correctly and is Y2K compliant.

Other Personal Computers

All other personal  computers have been tested by an outside vendor and found to
be Y2K  compliant  or will have the date loaded form the file server as noted by
the  manufacturer  and tested by the  Corporation.  All  operating  software and
office  software  were  installed  with the most recent Y2K versions and are Y2K
compliant.

NCR Starcom Account Processing

The Starcom account processing was tested in August 1998 in conjunction with the
teller  equipment  and  software.  The results of these tests were  reviewed and
showed that the system operated as expected and is Y2K compliant.  An additional
test was performed in July 1999 for items that had been added since the previous
test.  The results of this test  indicate  these items will operate as expected.
NCR also tested  with EDS  (Jeannie)  and the ACH  networks on a proxy basis and
have certified that they are compliant.


IPS Accounting Software

The IPS accounting was presented as being Y2K compliant by the  manufacturer and
was  tested  in  December  1998 by the  Corporation.  The test  results  were as
expected and showed the system to be compliant.


Federal Home Loan Bank

The FHLB is the  primary  correspondent  of the  Corporation  and  provides  the
Corporation  with  liquidity  through  advances,  and  cash  and  also  acts  as
settlement agent with the Federal Reserve Bank. The FHLB has reported completion
of all mission-critical testing.


Bankers Systems, Inc. Loan Processing Software

The Bankers  Systems,  Inc. loan  processing  software has been certified as Y2K
compliant  by  the   manufacturer  and  was  tested  in  December  1998  by  the
Corporation. All tests showed the software to be compliant.


EDS

EDS provides the Corporation with on-us check clearing, statement mailing, check
encoding and depositing. They have reported being Y2K compliant.


Bank Security

All security  systems have been  certified as Y2K compliant or do not use a date
function in the operation of the system.


Other Nonmission Critical Systems

All nonmission critical systems have been reviewed and made Y2K ready or will be
removed from service prior to year-end.


Y2K Costs

The total direct cost of upgrading equipment and software, personnel and testing
associated fees will be  approximately  $21,000.  Some other indirect costs were
incurred due to upgrading  equipment  that would have needed to be replaced over
the coming year.

                                  (Continued)
                                                                              21

Business Resumption Contingency Plan

The Corporation's  contingency  plans have been reviewed and updated.  A special
Y2K addendum was also added to cover  special  concerns and needs of the century
change.  These  included  liquidity  and  cash  needs  of the  Association.  The
Corporation  has  secured  a  guaranteed  Y2K  line  from the FHLB to be used in
addition  to the  normal  line of credit  that has been  recently  renewed.  The
Corporation  plans to maintain  higher levels of liquidity the remainder of 1999
through maturing  investments,  normal cash flows and FHLB advances.  As part of
the  contingency  plan,  however,  the  Corporation  has determined that if such
service  providers  were to have  their  systems  fail,  the  Corporation  would
implement  manual  systems  until  such  systems  could be  re-established.  The
Corporation does not anticipate that such short term manual systems would have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Corporation's  operations.  The expense of any
change  in  suppliers  or  servicers  is  not  expected  to be  material  to the
Corporation.

In addition to the possible expense related to its own systems,  the Corporation
could  incur  losses if loan  payments  are  delayed  due to Year 2000  problems
affecting  any of the  Corporation's  significant  borrowers  or  impairing  the
payroll  systems of large  employers in the  Corporation's  primary market area.
Because the  Corporation's  loan portfolio is highly  diversified with regard to
individual  borrowers  and types of  businesses  and the  Corporation's  primary
market area is not  significantly  dependent on one  employer or  industry,  the
Corporation  does not expect any  significant  or  prolonged  Year 2000  related
difficulties will affect net earnings or cash flow.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies  followed in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

Nature of Operations:  The Corporation  provides  financial services through its
main office in Sidney,  Ohio,  and branch  offices in 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  real  estate.
Commercial  loans are  expected to be repaid from cash flow from  operations  of
businesses.  Real estate loans are secured by both  residential  and  commercial
real estate.  Substantially all revenues and services are derived from financial
institution products and services in Shelby County and contiguous counties.

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

Cash  Flows:  Cash and cash  equivalents  are  defined  as cash,  deposits  with
financial  institutions,  overnight  deposits and time  deposits  with  original
maturities of 90 days or less.  Overnight deposits are sold for one-day periods.
Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions,  as well
as  short-term  borrowings  under its cash  management  line of credit  with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.

Securities:  Securities  are  classified  as held to  maturity  and  carried  at
amortized cost when  management has the positive intent and ability to hold them
to maturity.  Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be
sold before maturity.  Securities  available for sale are carried at fair value,
with unrealized holding gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.

Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts, is included in earnings. Securities are written down to fair value
when a decline  in fair  value is not  temporary.  Realized  gains and losses on
sales of securities  are  determined  using the  amortized  cost of the specific
security sold.
<PAGE>

Loans Receivable: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding,  less
net deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses.

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes  amortization of
net deferred loan fees over the loan term.  Interest income is not reported when
full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments
are past due over 90 days.  Payments  received  on such  loans are  reported  as
principal  reductions.

                          June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997

NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

Allowance  for Loan  Losses:  The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is a  valuation
allowance for probable credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses
and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance
balance required based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in
the nature and volume of the  portfolio,  information  about  specific  borrower
situations  and estimated  collateral  values,  economic  conditions,  and other
factors.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific  loans,  but the
entire  allowance  is available  for any loan that,  in  management's  judgment,
should be charged-off.

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the terms of the loan is not
expected.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar
nature such as first mortgage  loans secured by one- to four-family  residences,
residential construction loans, credit card, automobile,  home equity and second
mortgage loans.  Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties
are evaluated  individually for impairment.  If a loan is impaired, a portion of
the  allowance for loan losses is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at
the present value of estimated  future cash flows using the loan's existing rate
or at the fair value of  collateral  if  repayment  is expected  solely from the
collateral.

Real Estate  Owned:  Real estate  acquired in  collection of a loan is initially
recorded  at fair  value at  acquisition,  establishing  a new cost  basis.  Any
reduction to fair value from the carrying  value of the related loan at the time
the  property  is  acquired  is  accounted  for  as  a  loan  charge-off.  After
acquisition,  a valuation  allowance reduces the reported amount to the lower of
the initial amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses,  gains and losses
on disposition,  and changes in the valuation allowance are reported in net gain
or loss on other  real  estate.  The  Corporation  had no real  estate  owned at
year-end 1999 or 1998.

Premises and Equipment:  Asset cost is reported net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation  expense is calculated using the straight-line  method based on the
estimated  useful lives of the assets.  These assets are reviewed for impairment
when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and  improvements are
capitalized.

Income Taxes: 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 consequences of 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.

Concentration  of  Credit  Risk:  The  Corporation's   loan  portfolio  consists
principally of long-term  conventional  loans secured by first mortgage deeds on
single family  residences  located in its primary  lending area of Shelby County
and its contiguous counties.  Mortgage loans comprise  approximately 96% and 98%
of the Corporation's  loan portfolio at June 30, 1999 and 1998. The remainder of
the  portfolio  consists of consumer  and other  loans  secured by  automobiles,
deposit balances at the Association and various other assets.
<PAGE>

Fair Values of Financial  Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant  judgment  regarding  interest rates,  credit risk,  prepayments and
other factors,  especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market  conditions could  significantly  affect the
estimates.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Earnings per Common  Share:  Basic  earnings per share  ("EPS") are based on net
income divided by the weighted average number of shares  outstanding  during the
period.  Unallocated  ESOP  shares  are  not  considered  outstanding  for  this
calculation.   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.

As more fully  discussed  in Note 2, the  Association  converted  from mutual to
stock  ownership with the concurrent  formation of a holding  company  effective
April 25,  1997.  Accordingly,  earnings per share for the period ended June 30,
1997 was  computed  based on net income of the  Corporation  from April 25, 1997
through June 30, 1997 of $150,298.

Dividend  Restriction:  Financial  institution  regulations,  which  require the
maintenance of certain  capital  levels,  may limit the amount of dividends that
may be paid. For regulatory capital requirements, see a separate Note.

Comprehensive  Income:  Comprehensive  income  consists  of net income and other
comprehensive  income.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and
losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as a separate
component  of  equity.   The   accounting   standard  that  requires   reporting
comprehensive  income first applies for 1999, with prior information restated to
be comparable.

Reclassification:   Reclassification  of  certain  amounts  in  the  prior  year
consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  made  to  conform  to the  1999
presentation.



NOTE 2 - CONSUMMATION OF THE CONVERSION TO A STOCK SAVINGS AND
  LOAN ASSOCIATION WITH THE CONCURRENT FORMATION OF A HOLDING
  COMPANY

On November  8, 1996,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Association  unanimously
adopted a Plan of  Conversion  to  convert  from a  federally  chartered  mutual
savings and loan  association  to a federally  chartered  stock savings and loan
association with the concurrent  formation of a holding company,  Peoples-Sidney
Financial  Corporation.  The  conversion  was  consummated  on April 25, 1997 by
amending the Association's  charter and the sale of the holding company's common
stock in an amount equal to the pro forma market value of the Association  after
giving  effect to the  conversion.  A total of  1,785,375  common  shares of the
Corporation  were sold at $10.00  per  share.  Net  proceeds  from the sale were
$17,217,944  after deducting the costs of conversion.  The Corporation  retained
50% of the net proceeds from the sale of common shares. The remainder of the net
proceeds was  invested in the capital  stock  issued by the  Association  to the
Corporation because of the conversion.
<PAGE>

At the time of conversion,  the  Association  established a liquidation  account
that was equal to its  regulatory  capital  as of the  latest  practicable  date
before the  conversion.  In the event of a complete  liquidation,  each eligible
depositor  will be  entitled  to  receive a  distribution  from the  liquidation
account in an amount  proportionate to the current adjusted  qualifying balances
for the accounts then held.

NOTE 7 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (Continued)

In August  1996,  legislation  was enacted  that  repeals the reserve  method of
accounting  used by many thrifts to calculate their bad debt reserve for federal
income tax  purposes.  Therefore,  small  thrifts such as the  Association  must
recapture  that  portion of the reserve  that exceeds the amount that could have
been taken under the experience  method for tax years  beginning  after December
31, 1987.  The  legislation  also requires  thrifts to account for bad debts for
federal income tax purposes on the same basis as commercial  banks for tax years
beginning  after  December 31, 1995.  The  recapture  will occur over a six-year
period,  the  commencement  of which was delayed  until the first  taxable  year
beginning  after  December  31,  1997,   because  the  Association  met  certain
residential  lending  requirements.  At  June  30,  1999,  the  Association  had
approximately  $484,000 in bad debt  reserves  subject to recapture  for federal
income tax  purposes.  The deferred tax  liability  related to the recapture has
been  previously  established.  In fiscal 1999,  $97,000 bad debt  reserves were
recaptured.

Retained  earnings at June 30, 1999 and 1998 included  approximately  $2,174,000
for which no  provision  for  federal  income  taxes had been made.  This amount
represents the qualifying and  nonqualifying tax bad debt reserve as of December
31,  1987,  which is the end of the  Association's  base  year for  purposes  of
calculating  the bad debt  deduction  for tax  purposes.  The related  amount of
unrecognized deferred tax liability was approximately  $739,000 at June 30, 1999
and 1998.  If this  portion of  retained  earnings is used in the future for any
purpose  other  than to absorb  bad  debts,  it will be added to future  taxable
income.

Included in FDIC deposit  insurance  premium  expense in the Statement of Income
for the year ended June 30, 1997 is $455,901 for a special assessment  resulting
from  legislation  passed  and  enacted  into  law  on  September  30,  1996  to
recapitalize  the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund of the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Corporation.   Thrifts  such  as  the  Association  paid  a  one-time
assessment  in November 1996 of $0.657 for each $100 in deposits as of March 31,

NOTE 11 - RETIREMENT PLANS

The  Corporation  adopted a 401(k)  profit  sharing plan on April 1, 1997.  With
certain  exceptions,  all employees who have attained the age of 21 and who have
completed one year of employment, during which they worked at least 1,000 hours,
are eligible to  participate in the plan.  The  Corporation  provides a matching
contribution on behalf of participants who make elective compensation  deferrals
at the rate of 50% of the first 6% of participant  contributions up to a maximum
match  of 3%  of  the  participant's  compensation.  The  Corporation  may  also
contribute  additional  amounts at its discretion.  Employee  contributions  are
vested at all times and the  Corporation's  matching  contributions  vest evenly
over 5 years of service.  The cash  contribution and related expense included in
salaries  and employee  benefits  was $15,951,  $18,440 and $5,219 for the years
ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.


NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Corporation offers an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for the benefit
of substantially  all employees of the  Corporation.  During July 1997, the ESOP
received a favorable  determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service on
the  qualified  status of the ESOP under  applicable  provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.

The ESOP  borrowed  funds  from  Peoples in order to  acquire  common  shares of
Peoples.  The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and
will be repaid  by the ESOP  with  funds  from the  Association's  discretionary
contributions  to the  ESOP  and  earnings  on ESOP  assets.  All  dividends  on
unallocated shares received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service.  When loan
payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to  participants  based on relative
compensation.

During  fiscal  1998,  the  Corporation  declared  and  paid a $4.00  per  share
distribution of which $3.99 was a tax-free return of capital  distribution.  The
ESOP  received  approximately  $539,000 on 134,262  unallocated  shares from the
return of capital  distribution.  The ESOP used the proceeds to purchase  26,000
additional  shares.  The additional shares are held in suspense and allocated to
participants in a manner similar to the shares originally in the ESOP.

Shares  pledged as  collateral  are  reported  as  unearned  ESOP  shares in the
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  As shares  are  released  from  collateral,  the
Corporation  reports  compensation  expense equal to the current market price of
the  shares   and  the  shares   become   outstanding   for   earnings-per-share
computations.  Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of
retained  earnings;  dividends  on  unallocated  ESOP  shares are  recorded as a
reduction of debt and accrued interest.  ESOP compensation expense was $243,925,
$249,570 and $136,017 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

The fair value of options granted in 1998 was estimated using the  Black-Scholes
options pricing model with the following weighted-average information: risk-free
interest rate of 5.44%,  expected life of 10 years, expected volatility of stock
price of 32.65% and expected dividend rate of 1.47%. Based on these assumptions,
the estimated fair value per share of options granted in 1998 was $8.89.

NOTE 14 - MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PLAN

A Management  Recognition Plan ("MRP") was adopted by the Board of Directors and
approved  by the  shareholders  of the  Corporation  on May 22, 1998 to purchase
71,415  common  shares,  which  is  equal  to 4% of the  common  shares  sold in
connection  with the  conversion.  The MRP will be used as a means of  providing
directors  and  certain  key  employees  of the  Corporation  with an  ownership
interest in the  Corporation in a manner  designed to compensate  such directors
and key employees for services to the Corporation.

In  conjunction  with the  adoption  of the MRP on May 22,  1998,  the  Board of
Directors awarded 57,128 shares to certain directors,  officers and employees of
the Corporation. No shares had been previously awarded. One-fifth of such shares
will be earned and nonforfeitable on each of the first five anniversaries of the
date of the award. At June 30, 1999,  11,426 shares have vested. In the event of
the  death  or  disability  of a  participant  or a  change  in  control  of the
Corporation,  however,  the  participant's  shares  will be  deemed  earned  and
nonforfeitable  upon such  date.  At June 30,  1999,  there were  14,287  shares
reserved  for future  awards and held as treasury  stock.  Compensation  expense
related to MRP shares is based upon the cost of the shares,  which  approximates
fair value at the date of grant.  For the years  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998,
compensation expense totaled $186,601 and $20,000.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

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 affect on
the Corporation's  financial  statements.  At June 30, 1999 and 1998, 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 June
30, 1999 and 1998. No conditions or events have occurred  subsequent to the last
notification  by  regulators  that  management  believes  would have changed the
Association's category.

At year-end 1999 and 1998, the  Association's  actual capital levels and minimum
required levels were:

In addition to certain federal income tax  considerations,  the Office of Thrift
Supervision  (OTS) regulations  imposes  limitations on the payment of dividends
and other capital distributions by savings  associations.  Under OTS regulations
applicable to converted savings  associations,  the Association is not permitted
to pay a cash dividend on its common shares if its regulatory  capital would, as
a result of payment of such dividends,  be reduced below the amount required for
the Liquidation  Account,  or below applicable  regulatory capital  requirements
prescribed by the OTS.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

OTS regulations  applicable to all savings and loan associations  provide that a
savings  association may make capital  distributions  in a calendar year without
prior  notice to the OTS as long as the  distributions  do not  exceed an amount
equal to the  savings  association's  net  income for that year to date plus the
savings  association's  retained  net income  for the  preceding  two years.  An
application  and  approval  from  the  OTS  must  be  obtained  if the  proposed
distribution would cause total  distributions for that year to exceed net income
for that year to date plus the savings association's retained net income for the
preceding  two years.  Savings  associations  would be required to file a notice
with the OTS whenever an  application  would not be required  based on the above
and: (1) The savings  association  will not be at least  adequately  capitalized
following the capital  distribution;  (2) The capital  distribution would reduce
the  amount  of,  or  retire  any part of the  savings  association's  common or
preferred  stock,  or  retire  any  part of debt  instruments  such as  notes or
debentures  included in capital;  (3) The proposed  distribution would violate a
prohibition contained in any applicable statute, regulation or agreement between
the savings association and the OTS (or the FDIC), or a condition imposed on the
savings  association  in an  OTS-approved  application  or  notice;  or, (4) The
savings association is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company.


NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
  WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Various  contingent  liabilities are not reflected in the financial  statements,
including  claims and legal actions  arising in the ordinary course of business.
In the  opinion  of  management,  after  consultation  with legal  counsel,  the
ultimate  disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect
on financial condition or results of operations.

Some  financial  instruments  are used in the normal  course of business to meet
financing needs of customers and reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These
financial  instruments include commitments to extend credit,  standby letters of
credit and financial guarantees.  These involve, to varying degrees,  credit and
interest rate risk in excess of amounts reported in the financial statements.

Exposure to credit loss if the other  party does not perform is  represented  by
the  contractual  amount for  commitments to extend credit,  standby  letters of
credit and financial  guarantees written.  The same credit policies are used for
commitments  and  conditional  obligations as are used for loans.  The amount of
collateral  obtained,  if deemed  necessary,  on extension of credit is based on
management's   credit  evaluation  and  generally  consists  of  residential  or
commercial real estate.
<PAGE>
Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition   established  in  the  commitment.
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 used, the total  commitments do not  necessarily  represent
future cash requirements.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
  WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (Continued)

As of year-end 1999 and 1998, the Corporation had commitments to make fixed-rate
commercial and  residential  real estate  mortgage loans at current market rates
approximating   $375,000  and  $621,000,   and   variable-rate   commercial  and
residential  real estate  mortgage loans at current  market rates  approximating
$394,000 and $687,000.  Loan commitments are generally for 30 days. The interest
rates on fixed-rate  commitments ranged from 7.00% to 7.75% at June 30, 1999 and
ranged from 7.50% to 8.25% at June 30, 1998. The interest rates on variable-rate
commitments  ranged  from 7.00% to 7.75% at June 30,  1999 and 7.25% to 8.00% at
June 30, 1998.

The  Corporation  also had unused lines of credit  approximating  $1,434,000 and
$548,000 at year-end 1999 and 1998.

At June 30, 1999 and 1998,  the  Association  was required to have  $532,000 and
$299,000 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.

NOTE 17 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The  estimated  fair value  approximates  carrying  amounts for all items except
those  described  below.  Estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted
market  values  for the  individual  securities  or for  equivalent  securities.
Estimated fair values of fixed-rate loans and loans that reprice less frequently
than each year,  are based on the rates  charged at year-end  for new loans with
similar  maturities,  applied  until the loan is  assumed to reprice or be paid.
Estimated fair values for  certificates  of deposit and long-term debt are based
on the rates paid at year-end  for new  deposits  or  borrowings  applied  until
maturity.   Estimated   fair  values  for  other   financial   instruments   and
off-balance-sheet loan commitments are considered nominal.
