ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") contains statements that
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of
places in this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding the intent, belief,
outlook, estimate or expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers
primarily with respect to future events and the future financial performance of
the Company. Readers of this Form 10-Q are cautioned that any such forward
looking statements are not guarantees of future events or performance and
involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. The
accompanying information contained in this Form 10-Q identifies important
factors that could cause such differences. These factors include changes in
interest rates, loss of deposits and loan demand to other financial
institutions, substantial changes in financial markets, changes in real estate
values and the real estate market, regulatory changes, unanticipated conversion
expenses, increases in compensation and employee expenses, or unanticipated
results in pending legal proceedings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The notes to the consolidated financial statements contain a summary of the
Company's significant accounting policies presented on pages 17-18 of the annual
report for fiscal year 2002. Certain of these policies are important to the
portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to
make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to
matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes that it's critical
accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, ("ALL")
and accounting for goodwill.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The ALL is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's
assumptions about specific borrowers and applicable economic and environmental
conditions, among other factors. Management reviews the adequacy of the ALL on a
monthly basis. This review is based on specific identified risks or anticipated
losses in individual loans, a percentage factor based on the classification of
certain loans, and managements' analysis of overall economic conditions such as
employment, bankruptcy trends, property value changes and changes in delinquency
levels.

Credits are evaluated individually based on degree of delinquency and/or
identified risk ratings of special mention or worse. Credits with delinquency
levels of less than 60 days and risk

8


PEOPLES BANCORP
AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

ratings of satisfactory/monitor or better are reviewed in the aggregate.
Percentage factors applied to individual credits are based on risk rating, the
type of credit and estimated potential losses in the event liquidation becomes
necessary. Percentage factors applied to loans reviewed in the aggregate are
based solely on the type of credit. Anticipated losses on other real estate
owned are recognized immediately upon recording the asset.

The ALL also includes a component based on management's assumptions of changes
in risk in non-quantifiable areas such as market conditions, property values,
employment conditions and perceived changes in overall portfolio quality due to
changes in concentration, underwriting changes and both national and regional
trends.

External factors such as increases in unemployment, regional softness in
property values, increasing national numbers in bankruptcy, unsecured
delinquency and charge offs and internal factors such as the continuing increase
in the commercial loan portfolio may result in larger losses in current economic
conditions. Changes in loan concentration, delinquency and portfolio are
addressed through the variation in percentages used in calculating the reserve
for various types of credit as well as individual review of "high risk" credits
and large loans.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is annually tested for impairment. If the implied fair value of
goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated
and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in
goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at December 31, 2002 were $505,713,660 a decrease of $746,595 from
September 30, 2002. Significant variations in the composition of assets
consisted of the following items:

o Total loans decreased by $7,270,022. This decrease has been due primarily
to the amount of refinancing activity in connection with the general
decline in interest rates. Management's philosophy from an interest rate
risk perspective is not to originate and keep the long-term lower rate
mortgage loans. Consequently, the Company has refinanced and sold loans in
the secondary market and gains on sales of loans have increased by $31,570
over the same period in 2002. Additionally, many customers have elected to
refinance their mortgage loans utilizing the services of various
competitors of the Company.
o Investment securities have increased by $7,826,320. This increase was
primarily funded from the inflow of cash related to the previously
mentioned decline in loans. Management

AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

o has invested the funds that have come in primarily in callable agency bonds
in an effort to maintain liquidity to fund future loan growth.

Total liabilities were $443,858,405 at December 31, 2002 a decrease of
$1,755,653 from September 30, 2002. Significant variations in the composition of
liabilities consisted of the following items:

o Total deposits declined $2,978,860. This decline was primarily due to a
decrease in certificate of deposits. Management has elected to not be as
aggressive on pricing its certificates of deposit in order to manage
interest rate risk as considered appropriate.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's most liquid assets are cash and interest-bearing deposits. The
levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, and
investing activities. At December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, cash and
short-term interest-bearing deposits totaled $37.8 million and $39.4 million,
respectively.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and the proceeds
from principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.

If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it
has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB of Indianapolis. While there are
regulatory and internal limits to the amount that may be borrowed from the FHLB,
the Company feels its current borrowing capacity will be sufficient to cover any
liquidity shortfalls it may encounter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had net income of $1,501,293 or $0.44 per share for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $1,398,107 or $0.40 per share for the
same period in 2001. The increase was due primarily to higher net interest
income due to the rates being paid on interest bearing liabilities declining at
a faster pace than the rates being earned on interest bearing assets. This
increase in net interest income was partially offset by higher provision for
loan losses due to higher delinquency and non-performing loans levels, and
current economic factors.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $4,403,161 for the three months ended December 31, 2002
as compared to $4,179,815 for the same period ended 2001. Interest income
decreased $640,979 to $8,033,234 for the three-month period, due to lower rates
earned on loans and investments. Interest expense decreased $927,187 to
$3,423,588 due again to lower rates. Volumes of both interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities fell during the period. However, since rates on
deposits and borrowings fell at a faster rate than rates on loans and
investments, interest expense decreased more than interest income, causing
higher net interest income. Provision for loan loss increased $62,862 to
$206,485 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 due to higher delinquency
and non-performing loan levels, and current economic conditions, as well as a
significant loss being discovered on an outstanding commercial loan.

The following table presents average balances and associated rates earned and
paid for all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the
three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands).

(Continued)

Non-performing assets at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002 are as follows
(in thousands):

December 31, 2002 September 30, 2002
Non-accruing loans $ 997 $ 676
Loans contractually past due 90 days
or more other than nonaccruing 149 52
Real estate owned (REO) 435 117
Restructured loans 879 517
------------ ------------
$ 2,460 $ 1,362
============ ============

It is the Company's policy to carry REO at net realizable value. After
repossession, appraised value is reduced for estimated repair and selling costs,
and the net amount is the carrying value of the property. Any changes in
estimated realizable value after the initial repossession, are charged to a
specific loss reserve account for REO. The increase in non-accrual loans since
September 30, 2002, is primarily due to increase in the 1 to 4 family portion of
the loan portfolio, and management believes the increase has been appropriately
considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and REO losses
at December 31, 2002. Management believes this increase is generally
attributable to current economic conditions. Net charge-offs for the three
months ended December 31, 2002 are $264,273 and were incurred primarily due to
the commercial loan loss mentioned earlier in this report 10-Q.

The allowances for loan and real estate owned losses represent amounts available
to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. Such allowances are based on
management's continuing review of the portfolios, historical charge-offs,
current economic conditions, and such other factors, which in management's
judgment deserve recognition in estimating losses. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require
additions to the allowances based on their judgment about the information
available to them at the time of their examination. Provisions for losses are
charged to earnings to bring the allowances to levels considered necessary by
management. Losses are charged to the allowances when considered probable, or in
the case of REO, at the time of repossession. Management believes that the
allowances are adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the portfolio. No
assurance can be given, however, that economic conditions which may adversely
affect the Company's markets or other circumstances will not result in future
losses in the portfolio.

(Continued)

NON-INTEREST INCOME

The Company's non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2002,
was $684,749 as compared to $582,146 for the same period one year ago. The
increase was attributable to increases in gains on sales of loans and loan
servicing fees by First Savings Bank. The current low interest rate environment
has encouraged mortgage loan refinancing, increasing the volume of loans being
sold. Trust income also increased due to a one-time fee charged for conversion
of an account, as well as trust fee increases effective December 2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was
$2,738,367 as compared to $2,517,804 for the same period in 2001. Salaries and
employee benefits increased $108,187 to $1,512,337 due to higher pension funding
requirements this year, the addition of a ninth branch office of Peoples Federal
in February 2002, and regular salary increases.

Equipment expense and data processing expense increased to $229,863 and $232,871
respectively from $197,167 and 182,365 due to additions and updates to
processing systems.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense remained stable at $848,250. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was 36.1% and 37.7%.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The OTS has issued a regulation, which uses a net market value methodology to
measure the interest rate risk exposure of thrift institutions. Under this OTS
regulation, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate risk in the event
of an assumed change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's NPV in
an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its assets. Thrift
institutions with over $300 million in assets or less than a 12% risk-based
capital ratio are required to file OTS Schedule CMR. Data from Schedule CMR is
used by the OTS to calculate changes in NPV (and the related "normal" level of
interest rate risk) based upon certain interest rate changes. Institutions which
do not meet either of the filing requirements are not required to file OTS
Schedule CMR, but may do so voluntarily. Both Peoples Federal Savings Bank and
First Savings Bank file Schedule CMR. However, results calculated from the
December 31, 2002 Schedule CMR are not yet available from the OTS. Therefore,
the tables presented below present the results of this analysis for Peoples
Federal and First Savings as of

(Continued)

September 30, 2002 and 2001. Under the regulation, institutions that must file
are required to take a deduction (the interest rate risk capital component) from
their total capital available to calculate their risk-based capital requirement
if their interest rate exposure is greater than "normal". The amount of that
deduction is one-half of the difference between (a) the institution's actual
calculated exposure to a 200 basis point interest rate increase or decrease
(whichever results in the greater pro forma decrease in NPV) and (b) its
"normal" level of exposure which is 2% of the present value of its assets.
Presented below as of September 30, 2002 and 2001 is an analysis performed by
the OTS of Peoples Federal's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV
for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve in 100 basis
point increments, up and down 200 basis points.

In evaluating Peoples Federal's and First Savings' exposure to interest rate
risk, certain shortcomings, inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing tables must be considered. For example, although certain assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react
in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest
rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of
changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag
behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest
rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from
those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers
to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. As
a result, the actual effect of changing interest rates may differ from that
presented in the foregoing tables.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, an evaluation
was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and
our Secretary and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-

14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, our
President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best
of their knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, our President Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect its internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
