                      PEOPLES-SIDNEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS


(Sidney, Ohio: NASD-NMS "PSFC")

Douglas  Stewart,  President of  Peoples-Sidney  Financial  Corporation,  parent
company of  Peoples  Federal  Savings & Loan  Association,  announced  today the
Corporation's third quarter earnings for fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.

Net income for the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 was  $156,000,  or $0.10
basic and diluted  earnings per share.  This compares to net income of $179,000,
or $0.11 basic and diluted  earnings per share for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease  in  quarterly  earnings  is a result of the  Association  incurring  a
$16,000  loss on the sale of a security  during the quarter.  The proceeds  from
this sale were reinvested into a higher  yielding  security,  which will recover
the loss as well as improve the overall  earnings  potential  of the  investment
portfolio  over  subsequent  periods.  Additionally,  the earnings for the three
months ended March 31, 1999  reflected a negative  provision for loan losses due
to a recovery of $16,000 from a previously charged off loan account.

Year to date net income was  $403,000,  or $0.27 basic and diluted  earnings per
share at March 31,  2000  compared  to  $414,000,  or $0.26  basic  and  diluted
earnings per share at March 31, 1999 representing a decrease of $9,000. However,
year to date net income  before tax was  $687,000 at March 31, 2000  compared to
$647,000 at March 31, 1999 representing an increase of $40,000. The net decrease
in after tax income represents an increase in federal income tax accruals due to
an increase in the effective tax rate  primarily  relating to the  Corporation's
stock-based benefit plans.

On April 14, 2000 the Board of Directors  declared a quarterly  cash dividend of
$0.07 per share for stockholders of record on May 1, 2000. This dividend will be
payable on May 16, 2000.

Peoples  Federal  serves  Shelby  County  with  offices at 101 E. Court  Street,
Sidney, 405 S. Pike Street, Anna, and 115 E. Pike Street,  Jackson Center, Ohio.
The  Corporation  had assets of $127  million and $17  million in  shareholders'
equity as of March 31, 2000.
