The following was contained in a press release issued by Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation on November 21, 2005 PEOPLES OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2006 Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported earnings of $547,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $125,000, or 29.6%, from the $422,000 reported for the same period in 2004. Basic earnings per share were $0.07 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $0.06 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.07 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $0.06 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Net interest income was $1,896,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, $178,000, or 10.4%, greater than the $1,718,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Total interest income was $2,978,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $270,000, or 10.0% from the $2,708,000 reported during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, due to higher average loans outstanding coupled with slightly increasing interest rates. The increase was attributed to an increase in the balance of average loans outstanding during the period which increased by $22.9 million or 15.2% from $ 151.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to $ 173.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2005. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $92,000 or 9.3% increase in interest expense during the same period as average interested-bearing deposits increased by $10.1 million or 8.7% coupled with the average rate being paid on those deposits increasing by 56 basis points. While average Federal Home Loan Bank advances declined from $55.5 million during the first quarter of 2005 to $48.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2006 with the average rate being paid on those advances declining by 19 basis points. Noninterest income increased $116,000, or 21.4%, to $659,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to the $543,000 recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, as the Bank realized a gain of $121,000 on the sale of its credit card loan portfolio during the quarter. Noninterest expense was $1,720,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, $110,000 or 6.8% higher than the $1,610,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefit expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefit expense of $110,000 or 15.2% related to an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees from 58 to 60 as the Bank hired an additional commercial lender and banking center manager during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. This is in addition to normal annual wage increases and increases in the portion of health insurance provided by the Bank for its employees. Total assets at September 30, 2005 were $200.6 million, compared to $199.9 million at June 30, 2005, as the Bank took advantage of increases in interest rates to begin growing its loan portfolio. Net loans increased $3.9 million or 2.3% during the quarter. This increase was attributable to increases in first and second mortgages on one-to-four family homes, as well as, commercial real estate loans. Effective September 29, 2005, the Boards of Directors for Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation and Peoples Savings Bank announced approval of a definitive agreement to merge into MainSource Financial Group of Greensburg, Indiana. The definitive agreement enables Peoples Savings Bank to become a stand-alone, chartered commercial bank with a restructured local board under MainSource ownership. Timeline for the merger process is expected to extend into the first quarter of calendar 2006 with various regulatory approvals required as well as the approval of shareholders of Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation.
