NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X for Peoples Bancorp, Inc.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial condition,
results of operations, and changes in cash flows have been made at and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results that
may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1998.
(2) The Conversion of the Mutual Holding Company to the Stock Form of
Organization
The financial information presented herein as of March 31,1 998 and
December 31, 1997, and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is for Peoples
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Mid-Tier Holding Company"), a federal corporation, which
form July 1997 through April 8, 1998 held 100% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Trenton Savings Bank FSB (the "Bank"). Financial information
presented herein for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is for the Bank. The
Mid-Tier Holding Company became the Bank's holding company in a reorganization
(the "Two-Tier Reorganization"), in which all of the outstanding shares of the
Bank's common stock ("Bank Common Stock"), including shares held by Peoples
Bancorp, MHC (the "Mutual Holding Company") and stockholders other than the
Mutual Holding Company (the "Minority Stockholders"), were converted into shares
of common stock of the Mid-Tier Holding Company ("Mid-Tier Common Stock"), and
the Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mid-Tier Holding Company.
From July 1997 through April 8, 1998, the Mid-Tier Holding Company's only
material asset consisted of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Bank.
The Registrant, Peoples Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, is the successor to the Mid-tier Corporation. The Company was
formed as part of the mutual-to-stock conversion (the "Conversion") of the
Mutual Holding Company. In the Conversion the Bank became the wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and the corporate existence of the Mutual Holding
Company ended. The Conversion was completed on April 8, 1998. Prior to the
completion of the Conversion the Company had insignificant assets and
liabilities.
As part of the Conversion each of the outstanding shares of Mid-Tier
Common Stock held by Minority Stockholders was automatically converted into
3.8243 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company. As part of
the Conversion and in addition to the 12, 430,673 shares issued due to the
conversion of Mid-Tier Common Stock into Common Stock, the Company sold
23,805,827 shares of Common Stock for a subscription price of $10.00 per share
in a subscription offering (the "Offering"). Net proceeds of the Offering were
approximately $217 million. At the conclusion of the Conversion there were
36,236,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding, including 952,233 unallocated
shares held by the Company's employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP").
The following diagrams outline (i) the organization structure of the
Mutual Holding Company, the Mid-Tier Holding Company, and the Bank and its
subsidiaries prior to the completion of the Conversion and (ii) the
organizational structure of the Company and the Bank and its subsidiaries
following the Conversion.

(3) Non Performing Loans, Non Performing Assets and the Allowance for Loan
Losses
Non performing loans at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 are as follows
(in thousands of dollars):

Loans delinquent 90 days or more ........ 4,139 5,606
Loans delinquent 90 days or more
as a percentage of net loans
receivable ............................. 1.00% 1.41%
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is as follows (in thousands of dollars):
March 31, 1998 March 31, 1997
-------------- --------------
Balance at beginning of the period ....... $ 3,415 $ 2,901
Provision charged to operations .......... 186 10
Charge-offs, net ......................... (39) (42)
------- -------
Balance at the end of the period ......... $ 3,562 $ 2,869
Generally, the Bank's loans are placed on a non-accrual status when a
default of principal or interest has existed for a period of 90 days except
when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal or interest is
reasonably anticipated or adequate collateral exists. In addition, the Bank
places any loan on non-accrual if any part of it is classified as doubtful or
loss or if any part has been charged to the allowance for loan losses. Real
estate owned consists of property acquired through formal foreclosures and
acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and is recorded at the lower of cost or
fair value. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had $294 thousand classified as real
estate owned.
The Bank continually reviews the quality of the loan portfolio, and
engages an outside consultant to perform routine reviews of the portfolio on a
quarterly basis. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending
conducted by the Bank, the amount of non-performing loans, general economic
conditions and other factors relating to the Bank's loan portfolio. However,
there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed estimated amounts.
As of March 31, 1998, the Bank's total non-pcrforming loans and
foreclosed assets amounted to $3.7 million, or .42% of total assets, compared to
$5.9 million, or.92% of total assets at December 31, 1997.
Federal regulations required that each insured savings institution
classify its assets on a regular basis. There are four classifications for
problem assets: "special mention," "substandard," "doubtful" and "loss."
At March 31, 1998, the Bank had $4.8 million of loans classified as
special mention, $4.7 million classified as substandard and $.6 million
classified as doubtful or loss. As of March 31, 1998, total classified assets,
which includes repossessed assets, was $5.6 million.
It is management's policy to maintain an allowance for estimated loan
losses based upon an assessment [1] in the case of residential loans,
management's review of delinquent loans, loans in foreclosure and market
conditions, [2] in the case of commercial business loans and commercial mortgage
loans, when a significant decline in value can be identified as well as an
overall assessment of the inherent risk in the portfolio and [3] in the case of
consumer loans, based on the assessment of risks inherent in the loan portfolio.
The Bank's allowance for loan losses, which includes a general valuation
allowance, amounted to approximately $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively
at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
(4) Per Share Data
The earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$.19, has been calculated on a weighted average number of shares of Mid-Tier
Common Stock outstanding during the period of 9,046,444. Earnings per share data
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $.22 per share. On April 8, each
share of the Mid-Tier Common Stock was converted into 3.8243 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. See Note 2.
10
<PAGE>
(5) Comprehensive Income
During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and
losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. This Statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of
other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b)
display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from
retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial position. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 130
for interim period reporting, The Bank's total comprehensive income for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $248,000 and ($778) thousand. The
difference between the Bank's net income and total comprehensive income for
these periods relates to the change in the net unrealized gains on securities
available for sale during the applicable period of time.
(6) Net Portfolio Value
The OTS has adopted a final rule that incorporates an interest rate
risk ("IRR") component into the risk-based capital rules. The IRR component is a
dollar amount that will be deducted from total capital for the purpose of
calculating an institution's risk based capital requirement and is expressed in
terms of the sensitivity of its net portfolio value ("NPV") to changes in
interest rates. NPV is the difference between discounted incoming and outgoing
cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. An
institution's IRR is measured as the change to its NPV as a result of a
hypothetical 200 basis point change in market interest rates. A resulting change
in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated market value of its assets will require
the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of that excess change. The rule
provides that the OTS will calculate the IRR component quarterly for each
institution from the institution's Thrift Financial Reports. The OTS has
postponed the date that the component will first be deducted from an
institution's total capital to provide it with an opportunity to review the
interest rate risk approaches taken by the other federal banking agencies. The
following table presents the Bank's NPV as of December 31, 1997, as calculated
by the OTS, based on information provided to the OTS by the Bank.
Change in Change in NPV
Interest Rates Net Portfolio Value as a percentage of
in Basis Points --------------------------------- Estimated Market
(Rate Shock) Amount $ Change % Change Value of Assets
------------ ------ -------- -------- ---------------
(dollars in thousands)
400 $ 75,074 ($35,682) 32.22% (8.02%)
200 $ 94,531 ($16,225) 14.65% (2.57%)
Static $110,756 -- -- --
(200) $122,763 $12,007 10.84% 1.90%
(400) $133,662 $22,906 20.60% 3.63%
As shown by the table above, increases in interest rates will result in
net decreases in the Bank's NPV, while decreases in interest rates will result
in smaller net increases in the Bank's NPV. The table suggests that in the event
of a 200 basis point change in interest rates, the Bank would experience a 2.57%
decrease in NPV in a rising interest rate environment, and a 1.90% increase in
NPV in a decreasing interest rate environment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The financial information presented herein as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is for Peoples
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Mid-Tier Holding Company"), a federal corporation, which
from July 1997 through April 8, 1998 held 100% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Trenton Savings Bank FSB (the "Bank"). Financial information
presented herein for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is for the Bank. the
Mid-Tier Holding Company became the banles holding company in a reorganization
(the "Two-Tier Reorganization"), in which all of the outstanding shares of the
bank's common stock ("Bank Common Stock"), including shares held by Peoples
Bancorp, MHC (the "Mutual Holding Company") and stockholders other than the
Mutual Holding Company (the "Minority stockholders"), were converted into shares
of common stock of the Mid-Tier Holding Company ("Mid-Tier Common Stock"), and
the bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mid-Tier Holding Company.
From July 1997 through April 8, 1998, the Mid-Tier Holding Company's only
material assets consisted of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Bank.
The Registrant, Peoples Bancorp, Inc. (The "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, is the successor to the Mid-Tier Corporation. The Company was
formed as par of the mutual-to-stock conversion (the "Conversion") of the Mutual
Holding Company. In the Conversion the Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company and the corporate existence of the Mutual Holding Company ended.
The Conversion was completed on April 8, 1998. Prior to the completion of the
Conversion the Company had insignificant assets and liabilities.
As part of the Conversion each of the outstanding share of Mid-Tier
Common Stock held by Minority Stockholders was automatically converted into
3.8243 shares o common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company. As part of the
Conversion and in addition to the 12,430,673 shares issued due to the conversion
of Mid-Tier Common Stock into Common Stock, the Company sold 23,805,827 shares
of Common Stock for a subscription price of $10.00 per share in a subscription
offering (the "Offering"). Net proceeds of the Offering were approximately $217
million. At the conclusion of the Conversion there were 36,236,500 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, including 952,233 unallocated shares held by the
Company's employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP").
Although the following discussion of the financial condition and
results of operations includes the collective results of the Mid-Tier Holding
Company and the Bank, this discussion reflects principally the Bank's activities
as the Mid-Tier Holding Company did not engage in any significant activities
other than the management of the Bank.
Financial Condition
Stockholders' equity increased by $2.0 million, or 1.8%, to $112.0
million at March 31, 1998 from $110.0 million at December 31, 1997. The increase
in Stockholders' equity was due to net income of $1.7 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 combined with amortization of $336 thousand of unearned
Management Recognition Plan (the "MRP") shares , a $248 thousand increase in the
market value of the Bank's portfolio of available for sale investments, reduced
by cash dividends of $285 thousand. At March 31, 1998 the Bank's tangible, core
and risk based capital ratios were 11.56%, 11.56%, and 20.56%, respectively.
As previously discussed the Conversion generated cash subscriptions of
$229.0 million by March 31, 1998. This amount was reflected in the Bank's asset,
cash and cash equivalents, and stock subscription payable account on the March
31, 1998 balance sheet. Consequently, total assets increased by $248.5 million,
or 38.8%, to $888.9 million at March 31, 1998 from $640.4 million at December
31, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents also increased by $240.8 million to $256.4

Total interest income increased $.7 million, or 6.3%, to $11.3 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 4998 from $10.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997. The increase resulted from an increase in average interest
earnings assets to $625.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from
$596.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 combined with an increase in
the average yield on interest-earnings assets from 7.14% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 to 7.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The $29.2 million
increase in average interest eamings assets was attributed to the previously
discussed $229.0 million of stock subscriptions received in March.
Total interest expense increased by $.2 million, or 3.9%, for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $5.5 million from $5.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in
average deposits to $541.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from
$516.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 which offset a decrease in
the average rate paid on deposits from 4.13% for the quarter ended March 31,
1997 to 4.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase in deposits is
primarily attributed to the stock subscriptions. The decrease in the average
rate paid on deposits was attributed to the effect of the payment of the
passbook rate on these stock subscriptions.
There was a $.2 million provision for loan losses for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 compared to a $10 thousand provision for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The increased provision generally reflects loan growth. The loan
loss provision evaluation includes a review of all loans for which full
collectibillity may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other
matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral,
economic conditions and other matters which warrant consideration. The allowance
for loan losses was $3.6 million or 97.3% of non-performing assets at March 31,
1998 compared to $3.4 million or 57.6% of non-performing assets at December 31,
1997 [see note three].
Total other income increased by $.2 million, or 30.0%, to $1.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997. Other income included $.3 million of gains from the sale
of equity securities for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $0 gains
from the sale of equity securities for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Excluding gains on sales of securities, other income increased $.6 million or
131.2% to $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in other income is
attributed to fees earned by Manchester Trust Bank which was purchased in
September of 1997, and $153 thousand of a post retirement plan actuary
adjustment. Total operating expenses increased by $.8 million, or 26.0%, to $3.8
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $3.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in operating expenses is attributed
to the addition of staff and activities from the MTB acquisition, the expansion
of TSBusiness Finance Corporation, the opening of an additional branch [Leisure
Village West] and additional vesting of the Management Recognition Plan.
