BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION
----------------------------------------
CSB Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Delaware
corporation on December 12, 1994 to acquire all of the capital stock issued by
Centralia Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Company is engaged in the business of
directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of the Bank. In the
future, the Company may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries,
although there are no current plans or agreements to do so.
The Bank is an Illinois-chartered stock savings bank. The Bank's
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC")
through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). The Bank was
originally chartered in 1879 as a federally chartered savings and loan
association, merged with another savings association in the 1970's and converted
to a state-chartered savings bank on July 1, 1993 under its current name of
Centralia Savings Bank. The Bank conducts its business through its office
located at 200 South Poplar Street, Centralia, Illinois 62801, and its telephone
number is (618) 532-1918.
The Bank provides its customers with a broad range of community banking
services. The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits
from the general public and using such deposits to invest in one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, multi-family residential,
consumer, commercial business and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the
Bank invests in U.S. Government and Agency securities, state and municipal
obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
----------------------------
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Highlights for 1999 include growth in total assets of $2.5 million, total
deposits of $1.1 million and gross loans of $2.9 million with an additional $1.0
million in loan commitments at year-end. Our loan department had a productive
year with loan originations of $15.4 million in new loans compared to $10.1
million in 1998, led primarily by the refinancing of residential real estate
loans and new commercial loans. Quality of the loan portfolio improved during
the fiscal year, with non-performing assets declining by 50% to $205,000. Our
allowance for loan losses to total non-performing assets ratio also improved
significantly from 42% to 108%.
The consolidated net income declined $46,000, or 13%, to $299,000 at September
30, 1999. The decrease in income represented a $0.01 decrease in diluted
earnings per share from 1998. Consolidated income before income taxes (excluding
non-recurring items) for 1999 increased 11% to $516,000 as compared to $464,000
in 1998. The non-recurring items were related to the data processing and the
Year-2000 conversion expenses of $85,000 incurred during the last six months of
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. These non-recurring items approximated
a $0.07 per share decline in the diluted earnings per share.
The market price for CSB Financial Group, Inc.'s stock as of November 26, 1999
was $11.25 per share, an increase of 14% from the close of November 23, 1998.
This is encouraging, due to the market volatility of bank stocks in the NASDAQ
index. Our strategic plans for improving shareholders' return on equity were
briefly delayed by isolated shareholder actions. The Board of Directors is
committed to improving return on equity and implementing these strategic plans.
In May 1999, the Company changed data processing servicers. The cost of the
conversion of data to another servicer was significant. These costs were
attributable to 12% of the noninterest expenses for the year. Of course, this
change was made for three primary reasons: (1) to provide our customer base with
enhanced services at a reasonable cost, (2) to ensure continued data processing
capabilities during the century date change, and (3) to reduce our labor costs.
We expect the data processing expenses to remain at prior year's levels, while
providing more products and service benefits to our customers. One such service
enhancement that saves time and labor for our checking account customers is the
implementation of the imaging system for checking accountholders. This system
provides a digital-image of every check and deposit on a customer's monthly
checking account statement for easy retrieval and storage. When customers
experienced the convenience of this statement, which was pre-punched to fit a
provided binder, many commented they would not be satisfied with any other type
of statement. The customer can also arrange to have a monthly statement prepared
that combines the banking activities of several accounts on one statement.
The century-date change, commonly referred to as "Year 2000" or "Y2K," is an
event that has placed unusual demands on all businesses, especially those in the
financial industry. As a result, the Company has devoted much time and resources
to ensure our ability to meet our customers' financial needs. Our current data
processing service completed its testing and achieved compliance in early 1998.
Centralia Savings Bank developed, tested and implemented backup procedures to
address ongoing operations in the unusual event there is a malfunction in the
electrical or telecommunication systems. We completed an evaluation of all
equipment, software applications, and third-party vendors to ensure there will
be no interruptions in services. We have also evaluated all significant credit
accounts to determine if alternate procedures are warranted to diminish any Y2K
risks they may pose to the Company. We are confident in the results of our Y2K
evaluations and we look forward to the New Year.
<PAGE>
The financial service industry will be experiencing a great deal of change due
to the recent repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. The offering of insurance and
investment products/services will become an increasing portion of a bank's
product offerings to its customer base. Technological advances will give
customers access to their accounts through Internet services. The continued
merger and acquisition between financial institutions will continue to change
the landscape of the banking community.
Through the coming months, our greatest challenge is to maintain a competitive
advantage, identify the customer products and services to offer, select the
means of distributing these products/services and improve the value of our
shareholders' investment in this Company. Our greatest competitive advantage is
that our customers know we are accessible and that decisions are made locally by
managers and directors that live, work and participate in this community.
The employees of the Company are well trained, experienced and loyal. They are
dedicated to serving our customers and shareholders. Our success continues to be
linked to the commitment and dedication of our employees and the support of our
customers and shareholders. The Board of Directors has committed to programs
targeting asset growth, leveraging capital and evaluating strategic alliance
opportunities with the singular goal of providing the best value to our
shareholders.
We are confident and excited about our future as a community bank. We look
forward to opportunities the future brings. On behalf of the board of directors,
officers and staff of the Company, we thank you our shareholders for their
investment and our customers for their business.
Sincerely,
/s/ A. John Byrne

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition & Results of Operations
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations is intended to assist the reader in understanding the financial
condition, changes in financial condition and results of operation for CSB
Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The information contained in this section
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the
other sections contained herein.
General
On December 12, 1994, CSB Financial Group, Inc. was organized for the
purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding stock of Centralia Savings Bank (the
"Bank") upon conversion of the Bank from a mutual to a stock savings bank. The
conversion was completed on October 5, 1995. The Company sold 1,035,000 shares
of common stock in the initial stock offering at $8 per share. The Company
purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank using 50% of the
$7,584,000 in net proceeds generated from the initial offering.
The Company conducts no significant business other than through the
Bank. The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Centralia SLA, Inc., which
provides insurance services. All references to the Company include the Bank and
its subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated. References to the Company prior to
October 5, 1995 are to the Bank and Centralia SLA, Inc., on a consolidated
basis.
In June, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management to retain
an independent third party to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company.
This action resulted from an unsolicited offer that was declined by the Board of
Directors.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1999
and 1998
General. The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its
net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned
on interest-earning assets (primarily loans, investment securities and
mortgage-backed securities) and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities (primarily deposits). The Company's net income also is affected by
the establishment of provision for loan losses and the level of its non-interest
income, including loan fees, deposit service charges, insurance commissions,
gains and losses from the sale of assets as well as its other non-interest
expenses and provisions for income taxes.
The Company's net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999
was $299,000 as compared to $345,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998. This represents a $46,000, or 13.3%, decrease in net income.
Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were $1,718,000 and $1,666,000,
respectively. This represents a $52,000, or 3.1%, increase in net interest
income. This is primarily due to an increase in the net interest rate spread.
Interest income decreased $51,000, or 1.54%, from $3,304,000 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 compared to $3,253,000 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1999. The decrease resulted primarily from a 29 basis point
decrease in the average rate earned on the Company's interest-earning assets.
The $99,000 decrease in interest on securities and other interest
earning assets was partially offset by the $48,000 increase in interest and fees
on loans. The decrease in interest on securities and other interest earning
assets was a result of a decrease in average balances of $490,000 and yields of
40 basis points. As yields on investment securities continued to decline,
management chose to invest funds in loans with an average yield of 7.84% rather
than mortgage backed securities or investment securities with average yields of
8.13% and 5.69%, respectively.
<PAGE>
Interest expense decreased $103,000, or 6.29%, to $1,535,000 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 from $1,638,000 for fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998. The $1.2 million increase in average balances was more than
offset by the 47 basis point decrease in cost of funds.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 was $72,000, compared to $63,000 for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Management evaluates the adequacy of
the Company's allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and may, based on
such review, adjust the amount of the provision for loan losses.
Classified loans are considered as part of this review.
Non-Interest Income. The Company's non-interest income for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999 was $132,000, as compared to $134,000 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This represents a decrease of $2,000, or
1.49%, in non-interest income. The decrease resulted primarily from a $5,000
decrease in gains on sale of securities offset by a $1,000 increase in service
charges on deposits and a $2,000 increase in other non-interest income.
Non-Interest Expense. The Company's non-interest expense for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999 was $1,347,000, as compared to $1,273,000 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. The $74,000, or 5.81%, increase in
non-interest expense is principally due to additional costs incurred in the
conversion of data processing service centers.
Compensation and Employee Benefits expense increased $20,000, or 3.17%,
to $651,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily due to an increase of $17,000 in group insurance premiums.
Data processing expense increased $55,000, or 53.40%, to $158,000 for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to costs associated with the conversion of data processing service
centers.
Other non-interest expenses decreased $14,000, or 4.06%, to $331,000
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $345,000 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 was $132,000, as compared to
$119,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This represents a
$13,000, or 10.9%, increase in the provision for income taxes.
Comparison of Financial Condition as of September 30, 1999 and 1998
General. At September 30, 1999, the Company's total assets were $48.9
million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 5.4%, as compared to $46.4 million at
September 30, 1998. The increase resulted from a $2.8 million increase in loans
receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, which offset the $.7 decrease
in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in loans was funded by a $1.1 million
increase in deposits and $1.4 million in borrowings.
Loans. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, at September 30,
1999 were $28.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 10.8%, compared to
$26.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Mortgage loans
increased $3.0 million, or 14.55%, consumer loans decreased $646,000, or 15.78%,
as compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Commercial loans
increased $539,000, or 86.24%, to $1.2 million for the year ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $625,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998. Home equity
lines of credit and share loans remained relatively stable.
<PAGE>
Average loan balances for 1999 amounted to $28.5 million as compared to
$26.9 million in the previous fiscal year. The Company continues to emphasize
mortgage lending, however, management is also making more loans on commercial
real estate and commercial operations.
The residential mortgage loans increased $1.9 million during 1999, or
10.00%, to $21.2 million as compared to $19.3 million for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998. During 1999, loan originations for residential mortgage
loans amounted to $7.6 million as compared to $5.2 million in originations for
the prior fiscal year.
Residential mortgage loans represent 72.83% of gross loans. Consumer
loans, consisting primarily of automobile loans, made up 11.84% of gross loans,
commercial loans made up 3.99% of gross loans, home equity lines of credit and
share loans made up 2.81% of gross loans, commercial real estate loans made up
1.78% of gross loans, and non-residential real estate loans comprised 6.75% of
the portfolio at September 30, 1999.
Allowance for Loan Losses. An allowance for loan losses is maintained
at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential loan losses as
determined by evaluations of the loan portfolio on a continuing basis. This
evaluation by management includes consideration of past loan loss experience,
changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the volume and condition of
the loan portfolio as well as the financial condition of specific borrowers and
current economic conditions. Loans with principal and interest payments
contractually due but not yet paid are reviewed at least semimonthly and are
placed on a nonaccrual status when scheduled payments remain unpaid for 90 days
or more, unless the loan is both well secured and is in the process of
collection.
Nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1999 amounted to $205,000 or
.42% of total assets as compared to $410,000 or .88% of total assets as of
September 30, 1998.
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's gross
allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

total assets as of September 30, 1999 compared to 36.93% of total assets as of
September 30, 1998. Investment securities increased $188,000, 1.10%, from $17.1
million to $17.3 million as of September 30, 1999. At September 30, 1999, the
Company held approximately $17.3 million in investment securities of which $17.1
million were held as available for sale, and $216,000 were non-marketable equity
securities. Of the $17.3 million in investment securities, $13.1 million, or
75.57%, were U. S. Government and agency securities, $1.0 million, or 5.78%,
were U.S. Treasury securities, $1.6 million, or 9.38%, were obligations of state
and political subdivisions, $216,000, or 1.25%, were non-marketable equity
securities, $482,000, or 2.78% were corporate securities and $909,000, or 5.24%,
were mortgage-backed securities.
Deposits. At September 30, 1999, total deposits amounted to $36.9
million, or 75.44%, of total assets. Total deposits increased $1.1 million, or
2.93% from September 30, 1998. The increase resulted from an increase of
$947,000, $407,000 and $20,000 in time deposits greater than $100,000, savings
and demand deposits, respectively, offset by a $323,000 decrease in other time
deposits.
Borrowings. At September 30, 1999, total borrowings totaled $1.4
million, or 2.86% of total assets, and consisted of advances on a line of credit
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. The borrowings were made in
September 1999 to fund loan growth. The Company had no borrowings outstanding at
September 30, 1998.
Return on Equity and Assets
Net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 was $299,000 as
compared to $345,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.
Return on average assets (ROA) for the year ended September 30, 1999
was .62% as compared to .73% for the year ended September 30, 1998. The cause
for the decrease in ROA was principally due to an increase in noninterest
expenses.
Return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended September 30, 1999
was 2.93% as compared to 3.24% for the year ended September 30, 1998. The cause
for the decrease in ROE was due to decreased net income and a decrease in the
fair value of securities available for sale.
The average equity to average assets ratio as of September 30, 1999 was
21.18% as compared to 22.35% as of September 30, 1998. The primary cause for the
decrease was the decreased net income and the decrease in the fair value of
securities available for sale.
Average Balance Sheet
The following table presents the average balance sheet for the Company
for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the interest on interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the related average yield or
cost. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the
average balance of the related asset or liability for the periods shown. Average
balances were determined from averaging month-end balances.

Asset and Liability Management
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest-rate sensitive", and
by monitoring an institution's interest-rate sensitivity gap. An asset or
liability can be considered to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific time
period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest-rate
sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of
interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature
or reprice within a specific time period, and the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice
within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of
interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive
liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets.
During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to
adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income
while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income.
At September 30, 1999, the Company's interest-bearing liabilities
either maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its interest-earning
assets either maturing or repricing within one year by $(1.6) million,
representing a cumulative one-year interest-rate sensitivity gap of negative
(3.25)%. During periods of rising interest rates, it is expected that the yield
on the Company's interest-earning assets would rise more slowly than the cost on
its interest-bearing liabilities, which would be expected to have a negative
effect on net interest income. A decrease in interest rates would have the
opposite effect on net interest income, as the interest rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities would fall more rapidly than would the interest
rates earned on interest-earning assets.
The primary function of asset and liability management is to maintain
an appropriate balance between liquidity on the one hand, and interest-earning
assets and liabilities on the other. The appropriate balance will enable the
Company to produce stable net income during changing interest-rate cycles.
In recent years, the Company's assets have been comprised primarily of
one-to-four-family residential mortgage balloon payment notes along with
long-term investment and mortgage-backed securities, while its liabilities have
been comprised primarily of short-term certificates of deposit. The majority of
the Company's balloon payment notes have maturities of three years, while a
small number have maturities of either one or five years. The balloon payment
notes are not interest-rate sensitive in a rapidly increasing interest-rate
environment because the interest rate remains fixed for up to five years
regardless of an increase in market interest rates. Furthermore, although the
interest rate on the balloon payment notes may be changed if the note is renewed
at the end of the term, the balloon payment notes have interest rate caps of one
or two percentage points over the initial rate of interest. Consequently, if
interest rates increase by an amount exceeding the interest rate cap during the
term of the note, the Company may be forced to renew the notes at interest rates
below the prevailing market rate.
Since the first calendar quarter of 1995, the adjustable-rate-mortgage
(ARM) has replaced the standard balloon payment loan as the principal type of
mortgage loan offered to new residential first-mortgage customers of the
Company. The ARM's have higher interest rate ceilings than the balloon payment
loans, along with interest rate floors, and will accordingly provide the Company
with increased interest rate protection. Beginning in February 1996, the Company
initiated a program of converting the balloon mortgage loans to comparable ARM
mortgage loans. As the balloon mortgage loans mature, they are converted to an
ARM.
Because the majority of the Company's deposits are in higher yielding
short-term certificates of deposit (which can be expected to reprice upon
maturity), an increase in market interest rates will have a more dramatic effect
on the Company's cost of funds than if such deposits were in transaction or
passbook savings account. The interest rates on the Company's certificates of
deposit tend to increase more quickly and in greater increments than the
interest rates on its transaction or passbook savings accounts.
<PAGE>
The Company's investment securities portfolio had an average maturity
of 4.4 years, excluding mortgage-backed securities, as of September 30, 1999.
Accordingly, the Company's investment securities portfolio could be made less
interest-rate sensitive by increasing the average maturity of the portfolio.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds
from principal and interest payments on loans, payments on investment and
mortgage-backed securities and sales of Company stock. While scheduled
maturities of loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities are
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and the
Company's ability to renew balloon payment notes are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination of
one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans. During each of the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company originated one-to-four-family
residential mortgage loans in the amount of $7.6 million and $5.2 million,
respectively. These activities were funded primarily by Federal Home Loan Bank
advances and deposit growth.
The net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $3.5 million. Investment activities included the
purchase of investment securities which totaled $7.1 million and $13.0 million
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and the
origination of loans, net of paydowns, of $2.9 million for the year ended
September 30, 1999. Sources of cash for investing activities was provided by
operating activities, maturities and sales of securities, and cash and cash
equivalents held at the beginning of the fiscal year. Investment activities
included the sale of investment securities which totaled $500,000 and $5.2
million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Investment activities also included maturities and paydowns on investment
securities which totaled $6.1 million and $7.8 million for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals,
satisfy financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company used its
sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments. At September 30, 1999, the
Company had commitments to extend credit in the amount of $2.3 million. These
commitments were comprised of variable-rate and fixed-rate commitments in the
amounts of $1,173,000 and $1,146,000, respectively. The range of rates on
fixed-rate commitments was 7.75% to 10.5%.
At September 30, 1999, certificates of deposits totaled $24.5 million,
or 66.52% of total deposits, as compared to $23.9 million, or 66.73% of total
deposits for fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Time deposits over $100,000
accounted for $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of the certificate of
deposit totals. Historically, the Company has been able to retain a significant
amount of its maturing deposits by increasing the interest rates earned by the
certificates of deposit. Because deposit insurance premiums paid by commercial
banks on BIF-insured deposits have been drastically reduced, the Company may
find it more difficult to retain such deposits. Management believes it will have
adequate resources to fund maturing deposits and withdrawals from additional
deposits, proceeds of scheduled repayments of loans as well as from payments
received on investment and mortgage-backed securities.
Capital. The Company is required to maintain a specific amount of
capital pursuant to the regulations of the Commissioner of Savings and
Residential Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of
September 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all regulatory capital
requirements with a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 42.93%,
compared to the minimum ratio required of 4.0%, total capital to risk-weighted
assets ratio of 43.90% compared to the minimum ratio required of 8.0% and a Tier
1 capital to average assets ratio of 20.29% compared to the minimum ratio
required of 4.0%.
<PAGE>
The Company continues to maintain a strong capital position to support
its capital requirements. Stockholders' equity increased $149,000 to $10.3
million as of September 30, 1999. This increase was due primarily to net income
of $299,000 offset by a decrease in unrealized gain on securities available for
sale of $207,000.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes
in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative
and the resulting designation. This statement applies to all entities. FAS 133
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. Earlier application is encouraged. The statement is not to be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. In June 1999, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 137 was issued to extend the effective date
by one year to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 133, as amended by FAS
137, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" (FAS 134) changes the way
mortgage banking firms account for certain securities and other interests they
retain after securitizing mortgage loans that were held for sale. The Statement
is effective for financial statements for the first fiscal quarter beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company does not securitze mortgages and is not a
Mortgage Banking Enterprise and therefore, FAS 134 will not have an impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Regulatory Developments
Deposit Insurance Premiums. Deposits of the Bank are currently insured
by the FDIC under the SAIF. The FDIC also maintains another insurance fund, the
BIF, which primarily insures commercial bank and some state savings bank
deposits. Applicable law requires that the SAIF and BIF funds each achieve and
maintain a ratio of insurance reserves to total insured deposits equal to 1.25%.
In 1995, the BIF reached this 1.25% reserve level, and the FDIC announced a
reduction in BIF premiums for most banks. Based on this reduction, the highest
rated institutions (approximately 92 percent of the nearly 11,000 BIF-insured
banks) will pay the statutory annual minimum of $2,000 for FDIC insurance. Rates
for all other institutions were reduced to $.04 per $100 as well, leaving a
premium range of $.03 to $.27 per $100 instead of the previous $.04 to $.31 per
$100. Currently, SAIF-member institutions pay deposit insurance premiums based
on a schedule of $0.00 to $0.27 per $100 of deposits.
The assessment for the Bank was $21,000 as of September 30, 1999.
FICO Assessment. The Financing Corporation (FICO), established by the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, is a mixed-ownership government
corporation whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the
Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). Effective December 12,
1991, as provided by the Resolution Trust Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring
and Improvement Act of 1991, the FICO's ability to issue new debt was
terminated. Outstanding FICO bonds, which are 30-year noncallable bonds with a
principal amount of approximately $8.1 billion, mature in 2017 through 2019.
The FICO has assessment authority, separate from the FDIC's authority
to assess risk-based premiums for deposit insurance, to collect funds from
FDIC-insured institutions sufficient to pay interest on FICO bonds. The FDIC
acts as collection agent for the FICO. The Deposit Insurance Funds Act 1996
(DIFA) authorized the FICO to assess both BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits, and
required the BIF rate to equal one-fifth the SAIF rate through year-end 1999, or
until the insurance funds are merged, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, BIF-
and SAIF-insured deposits will be assessed at the same rate by FICO.
The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in
the assessment bases of the respective funds based on quarterly Call Report and
Thrift Financial Report submissions. The quarterly FICO rates since enactment of
DIFA have ranged from 1.164 to 1.30 basis points for BIF institutions and 5.82
to 6.50 basis points for SAIF institutions.

Income Tax Regulations Affecting Bad Debt Reserve. Under existing
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar sections of the Illinois
income tax law, qualifying thrifts may claim bad debt deductions based on the
greater of (1) a specified percentage of taxable income, as defined, or (2)
actual loss experience. If, in the future, any of the accumulated bad debt
deductions are used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, gross
taxable income may result and income taxes may be payable.
The Small Business Job Protection Act became law on August 20, 1996.
One of the provisions in this law repealed the reserve method of accounting for
bad debts for thrift institutions so that the bad debt deduction described in
the preceding paragraph will no longer be effective for tax years beginning
after December 31, 1995. The change in the law requires that the tax bad debt
reserves accumulated after September 30, 1988 be recaptured into taxable income
over a six-year period. The start of the six-year period can be delayed for up
to two years if the Company meets certain residential lending thresholds.
Deferred taxes have been provided on the portion of the tax reserve for loan
loss that must be recaptured.
Pending Legislation. On November 4, 1999, the United States Congress
approved legislation that would allow bank holding companies to engage in a
wider range of nonbanking activities, including greater authority to engage in
securities and insurance activities. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the
"Act"), a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company
may engage in any activity that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve"), in consultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury, determines by regulation or order is (i) financial in nature, (ii)
incidental to any such financial activity, or (iii) complementary to any such
financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or
soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. The Act
specifies certain activities that are deemed to be financial in nature,
including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or
safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing
financial, investment, or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in
or making a market in, securities; and any activity currently permitted for bank
holding companies by the Federal Reserve under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank
Holding Company Act. A bank holding company may elect to be treated as a
financial holding company only if all depository institution subsidiaries of the
holding company are well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a
satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act.
National banks are also authorized by the Act to engage, through
"financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible for a financial
holding company (as described above) and any activity that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve, determines is financial in
nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (i) insurance
underwriting, (ii) real estate development or real estate investment activities
(unless otherwise permitted by law), (iii) insurance company portfolio
investments and (iv) merchant banking. The authority of a national bank to
invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions,
including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well-managed
and well-capitalized (after deducting from capital the bank's outstanding
investments in financial subsidiaries). The Act provides that state banks may
invest in financial subsidiaries (assuming they have the requisite investment
authority under applicable state law) subject to the same conditions that apply
to national bank investments in financial subsidiaries.
The Act must be signed by the President before it will take effect. At
this time, the Company is unable to predict the impact the Act may have on the
Company and its subsidiary.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the
Company's operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of
general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
Year 2000 Compliance
The year 2000 has posed a unique set of challenges to those industries
reliant on information technology. As a result of methods employed by early
programmers, many software applications and operational programs may be unable
to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. If not effectively addressed,
this problem could result in the production of inaccurate data, or, in the worst
cases, the inability of the systems to continue to function altogether.
Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to the industry's
dependence on electronic data processing systems. In 1997, the Company started
the process of identifying the hardware and software issues required to be
addressed to assure year 2000 compliance. The Company began by assessing the
issues related to the year 2000 and the potential for those issues to adversely
affect the Company's operations and those of its subsidiaries.
Since that time, the Company has established a Year 2000 Compliance
Team (the Team) composed of representatives from key areas throughout the
organization. It is the mission of this Team to identify areas subject to
complications related to the year 2000 and to initiate remedial measures
designed to eliminate any adverse effects on the Company's operations. The Team
has identified all mission-critical software and hardware that may be adversely
affected by the year 2000 and has required vendors to represent that the systems
and products provided are or will be year 2000 compliant.
All mission critical software was upgraded and tested to achieve year
2000 compliance. In addition, the Team developed contingency plans to address
systems which do not become year 2000 compliant.
Management has determined that if a business interruption as a result
of Year 2000 issue occurred, such an interruption could be material. The primary
effort required to prevent a potential business interruption is to assure the
Company's third party processor is year 2000 compliant. As a cost saving
measure, management contracted with a different third party processor and
converted data during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This third party
processor has stated that Year 2000 remediation and testing efforts have been
successfully completed.
The Company is committed to a plan for achieving compliance, focusing
not only on its own data processing systems, but also on its loan customers. The
Team has taken steps to educate and assist its customers with identifying their
year 2000 compliance problems. In addition, the Team has proposed policy and
procedure changes to help identify potential risks to the Company and to gain an
understanding of how customers are managing the risks associated with the year
2000.
<PAGE>
Management believes that the organization has an effective year 2000
compliance program in place and that additional expenditures required to bring
its systems into compliance will not have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's operations, cash flow, or financial condition. To date, year 2000
compliance expenditures have amounted to $40,000. Management expects total
additional out-of-pocket expenditures to be less than $25,000. This includes
costs to upgrade equipment specifically for the purpose of year 2000 compliance
and certain administrative expenditures. However, the year 2000 problem is
pervasive and complex and can potentially affect any computer process.
Accordingly, no assurance can be given that year 2000 compliance can be achieved
without additional unanticipated expenditures and uncertainties that might
affect future financial results.
The Federal banking regulators have established standards for achieving
year 2000 compliance for federally insured depository institutions. If an
institution fails to meet any of the established standards, its primary
regulator may issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency.
Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may
restrict the institution's growth rate and take any action the regulator deems
appropriate.

CSB FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations CSB Financial Group, Inc. (the Company) is the holding
company of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centralia Savings Bank (the Bank).
Centralia Savings Bank is a state chartered stock savings bank, converted from
mutual form on October 5, 1995, located in Marion County, Illinois. The Bank's
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) through
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Bank is subject to the
regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by those agencies.
Principles of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank,
and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Centralia SLA. Centralia SLA, Inc.'s
principal business activity is to provide insurance services. For purposes of
the consolidated financial statements, all material intercompany amounts have
been eliminated.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Company management is
required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates
which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include
the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate
and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction
of amounts due from borrowers on loans.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 130, "Comprehensive Income," which was issued in June of
1997. Statement No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components, but has no effect on the Company's net
income or total stockholders' equity. Statement No. 130 requires unrealized
gains and losses on the Company's available for sale securities, which prior to
adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in
comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the requirements of Statement No. 130.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and general practice within the banking industry.
Following is a description of the more significant policies which the Company
follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company
considers all cash on hand, deposit accounts and money-market funds to be cash
equivalents.
Securities available for sale Securities classified as available for sale are
those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period
of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security
classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including
significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the
Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital
considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are
carried at fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost,
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, which are
recognized in interest income using the interest method over their contractual
lives, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred
tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of
specific securities sold, are included in earnings.
Nonmarketable equity securities Nonmarketable equity securities consist of the
Banks' required investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
This investment is carried at cost as the fair value is not readily
determinable.
<PAGE>
Loans Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less unearned
interest income and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on principally
all loans is credited to income based on the principal balance outstanding.
The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any
loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the
timely collectibility of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans
is recognized to the extent payments are received, and the principal is
considered fully collectible.
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion
of the allowance for loans losses applicable to impaired loans would be computed
based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and
principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value
of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present
value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of collateral value is
reported as part of the provision for loan losses expense in the same manner in
which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of
provision for loan losses expense that otherwise would be reported. Management
had not classified any loans as impaired as of September 30, 1999 or 1998.
Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses. Loans are charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may
become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and
prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors
as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that
may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. While management uses the best
information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the
allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic
conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses,
and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their
judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets principally on the straight-line basis.
Intangible assets Core deposit intangible and goodwill were recorded as part of
the acquisition of the Carlyle branch. Core deposit intangible is being
amortized by the straight line method over a ten year period. Goodwill is being
amortized by the straight line method over a fifteen year period.
Income taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually
for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Income tax expense is
the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Earnings per common share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of
719,245 and 797,237 for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Diluted earnings per share
is determined by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock
equivalents assume exercise of stock options and use of proceeds to purchase
treasury stock at the average market price for the period. Unallocated shares of
the ESOP are not considered outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding
for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share were 728,767 and 824,296
for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
<PAGE>
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances as of
September 30, 1998, with no effect on net income, to be consistent with the
classifications adopted for September 30, 1999.
Effect of New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation. This Statement applies to all entities. FAS 133 is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier
application is encouraged. The Statement is not to be applied retroactively
to financial statements of prior periods. In June 1999, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 137 was issued to extend the effective date
by one year to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 133, as amended by FAS
137, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization
of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" (FAS 134) changes the way mortgage banking
firms account for certain securities and other interests they retain after
securitizing mortgage loans that were held for sale. The Statement is
effective for financial statements for the first fiscal quarter beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company does not securitize mortgages and is not
a Mortgage Banking Enterprise and therefore, FAS 134 will not have an impact
on the consolidated financial statements

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Bank is required to
maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank in an
amount equal to 1% of its outstanding home loans. No ready market exists for the
Bank stock, and it has no quoted market value. For disclosure purposes, such
stock is assumed to have a market value which is equal to cost.
The Company had securities with a carrying value of $200 and $150, respectively,

==================
The Bank generally originates single-family residential loans within its primary
lending area, Marion County. The Bank's underwriting policies require such loans
to be made at 80% loan-to-value based upon appraised values unless private
mortgage insurance is obtained. These loans are secured by the underlying
properties.
At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had approximately $205 and $410 of
loans for which the accrual of interest had been discontinued.
In the normal course of business, the Bank makes loans to its executive
officers, directors and employees, and to companies and individuals affiliated
with officers, directors and employees of the Bank and the Company. In the
opinion of management, these loans were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with unrelated parties. The activity in these loans is
as follows:
Balance as of October 1, 1998 .............................. $ 1,050

==================
The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated federal income tax returns.
Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar sections of the
Illinois income tax law for the years beginning before January 1, 1996,
qualifying thrifts could claim bad debt deductions based on the greater of (1) a
specified percentage of taxable income, as defined, or (2) actual loss
experience.
The Small Business Job Protection Act became law on August 20, 1996. One of the
provisions in this law repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts
for thrift institutions so that the bad debt deduction described in the
preceding paragraph will no longer be effective for tax years beginning after
December 31, 1995. The change in the law requires that the tax bad debt reserves
accumulated after September 30, 1988 be recaptured into taxable income over a
six-year period. The start of the six-year period can be delayed for up to two
years if the Company meets certain residential lending thresholds. Deferred
taxes have been provided on the portion of the tax reserve for loan loss that
must be recaptured.
Retained earnings at September 30, 1999 and 1998, includes approximately $867 of
the tax reserve which accumulated prior to 1988, for which no deferred federal
income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation
of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so
allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising
from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes
only, which would be subject to the then current corporate income tax rate. The
unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately
$336 as of September 30, 1999 and 1998.
Income tax expense differed as follows:

Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company provides disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all
nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the disclosure. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of
the Company and its subsidiary.
The following table reflects a comparison of carrying values and the fair values
of the financial instruments:
September 30,
----------------------------------
1999 1998
----------------------------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Value Value Value Value
----------------------------------
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents ...... $ 871 $ 871 $ 1,542 $ 1,542
Securities available for sale .. 17,118 17,118 16,931 16,931

Advances from FHLB ............. 1,400 1,400 - - - -
Accrued interest payable ....... 21 21 12 12
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
<PAGE>
Cash and cash equivalents The carrying values reported in the balance sheet for
cash and cash equivalents, including cash and due from banks and interest
earning deposits approximate their fair values.
Securities Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying value of accrued
interest receivable approximates its fair value. The carrying value for
nonmarketable equity securities approximates their fair values.
Loans For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant
change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values
for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit quality. The carrying value of accrued interest receivable
approximates its fair value.
Deposits The fair value disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal
to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The carrying values
for variable-rate, demand deposits and savings deposit accounts approximate
their fair values at the balance sheet date. Fair values for fixed-rate
certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation
that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The
carrying value of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank The carrying amounts of advances on the
line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank approximates their fair values.
Off-balance-sheet instruments Fair values for the Bank's off-balance-sheet
instruments, which consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit, are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standing. The fair value for such financial instruments
is nominal.
Note 10. Capital Ratios
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1999, that the
Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
<PAGE>
As of September 30, 1999, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as
adequately capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank's category.

Note 11. Officer, Director and Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The ESOP holds 41,400 shares of the
Company's common stock for allocation to employees. The ESOP borrowed from the
Company to purchase the common stock. The loan obligation is considered unearned
employee stock ownership plan shares and is reflected as a reduction of
stockholders' equity.
The following table reflects the status of the shares held by the plan:

Shares are allocated to all eligible employees as the debt is repaid based on a
prorata share of total eligible compensation. Employees 21 or older with at
least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve month period are eligible to
participate. Benefits will vest over a five year period and in full after five
years of qualified service.
As shares are committed to be released from unallocated shares, the Bank
recognizes compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares,
and the shares become outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per
share. The Bank recognized compensation expense for the ESOP of $26 and $32 for
the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Board of Directors of the Company may direct payment of cash dividends, if
any, be paid in cash to the participants or be credited to participant accounts
and invested. Dividends received, if any, by the ESOP on unallocated shares are
used for debt service.
Profit Sharing Plan The Bank has a noncontributory defined contribution
profit-sharing plan for all employees who have attained age 21 and one year of
service. Nondeductible voluntary contributions are permitted, but none have been
made to date. The Board of Directors determines the annual contribution to the
plan which is allocated to those employees who worked more than 500 hours during
the plan year or who are employed at the end of the plan year based on the
prorata share of eligible compensation for the plan year.
There have been no contributions for the years ended September 30, 1999 and
1998.
Management Recognition Plan (MRP) The MRP purchased, with funds provided by the
Company, 62,100 shares. Directors, officers, and employees become vested in the
shares of common stock awarded to them under the MRP at a rate of 20 percent per
year, commencing one year after the grant date, and 20 percent on each
anniversary date thereof for the following four years. As of September 30, 1999
and 1998, 17,388 shares and 18,009 shares, respectively, have been awarded to
officers, directors, and employees. Compensation expense is recognized on a
straight line basis over the vesting period for shares awarded under the plan.
Compensation expense of $37 and $38 was recognized for the years ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Stock Rights In June 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a Rights Agreement.
Under the Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one right for each
outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record on June 23, 1997.
There was no fair value attached to these rights as of the grant date. The
rights are not exercisable until the Distribution date which is defined as the
earlier of the tenth business day after a public announcement that a person or
group of affiliated or associated persons acquired, or obtained the right to
acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company or the tenth business day after the commencement or
announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer that would
result in any person or group or affiliated or associated persons becoming an
acquiring person. Each right enables the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one share of Common Stock at a price of $36.
Stock Option Plans The Company has two stock option plans which may grant
options to purchase common stock at the market price on the date of the grant.
The options will be granted by a committee comprised of directors.
Options for up to 103,500 shares may be granted to employees and directors under
the Stock Option Plan approved May 22, 1996 and options for up to 103,500 shares
may be granted to key employees and directors under the 1997 Nonqualified Stock
Option Plan.
The options under the Stock Option Plan become exercisable at a rate of 20
percent per year commencing one year after the grant date. At September 30, 1999
and 1998, 35,875 options had been granted.
The terms of the options under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and the
exercise schedule are at the discretion of the Committee. At September 30, 1999
and 1998, 25,875 options had been granted.

The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Sholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for grants in 1998: dividend rate of 0%; price volatility of 20.44%
and a risk free interest rate of 4.59%.
As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, grants under these
plans are accounted for following APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations. Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plan
been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards (the method
described in FASB Statement No. 123), reported net income and earnings per
common share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts shown below.

Note 12. Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk
The Company is, from time to time, a party to legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of its business, including legal proceedings to enforce its
rights against borrowers. The Company is not currently a party to any legal
proceedings which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial condition or operations of the Company.
In May 1999, a shareholder of CSB Financial Inc. filed a class action lawsuit in
a Delaware court against the Company, its top executive and its directors for
breach of fiduciary duty for failure to put an acquisition offer to shareholder
vote. The class action is seeking buyout of current shares at $14.75 (offered
purchase price).
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in
particular classes of financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 1999
and 1998 follow:
Range of Rates
Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total on Fixed Rate

1998 275 1,008 1,283 8.25% - 11.5%
The Bank generally originates single-family residential loans within its primary
lending area, Marion County. The Bank's underwriting policies require such fixed
rate loans to be made at 80% loan-to-value and variable rate loans to be made at
85% loan-to-value based upon appraised values unless private mortgage insurance
is obtained. These loans are secured by the underlying properties.
The Company does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, futures, forwards
or option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar
characteristics.
