4. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described
more fully in Notes to Financial Statements included in the September 30, 2003
Annual Report to shareholders. The Company accounts for this plan under the
recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the
plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

5. TEMPORARILY IMPAIRED INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company's temporarily impaired investment securities at March 31, 2004 are
shown below. Unrealized losses on federal agency, state and municipal, and
mortgage-backed securities are caused by interest rate fluctuations in the
market. Only six securities within these classifications have been in a loss
position for more than one year. Management has the ability to hold these
securities until final maturity, at which time the full face value will be
realized.

The marketable equity security has been in a loss position for three years.
Management believes this has been in correlation to the downturn in the general
economy and stock market. This security has recovered almost $275,000 in value
during the six months ended March 31, 2004, and management believes based on the
advice of the broker, and current economic trends, the value will continue to
recover.

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 18-20 of the annual
report for fiscal year 2003. 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

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. The impairment testing involves
estimating the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing to the carrying
value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount,
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 March 31, 2004 were $496,543,536, a decrease of $6,376,470 from
September 30, 2003. Significant variations in the composition of assets
consisted of the following items:

Total loans increased by $3,652,858. The increase was due primarily to
the slow-down of mortgage loan refinancing due to the slight upturn in
interest rates. Loan sales have slowed considerably as illustrated by
the decrease on gains on sale of loans from $375,131 to $25,636 for
the six-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

Investment securities have increased by $4,463,241. This increase was
primarily funded from a decrease in short-term interest-bearing
deposits. Management has shifted funds from overnight deposits,
primarily to callable agency bonds in an effort to maintain liquidity
while increasing yield until the funds are needed to fund future loan
growth.

Total liabilities were $432,376,390 at March 31, 2004 down from $438,995,152 at
September 30, 2003, due primarily to a decrease in Certificates of Deposit,
partially offset by an increase in NOW and Savings deposits.

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 March 31, 2004, and September 30, 2003, cash and
short-term interest-bearing deposits totaled $20.0 million and $35.2 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.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had net income of $1,108,833 or $0.33 per share for the three months
and $2,385,272 or $.70 per share for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to $1,387,403 or $0.40 per share and $2,891,196 or $.84 per share for
the same periods in 2003. The decrease for the three and six-month periods is
due to a combination of lower net interest income partially offset by lower
provision for loan losses due to a large allowance established last year for a
significant loss discovered on a commercial loan. This decrease is combined with
lower non-interest income, primarily due to lower gains on sales of loans.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $4,129,736 for the three months, and $8,317,203 for the
six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $4,391,238 and $9,000,884 for the
same periods ended 2003. Interest income decreased $770,861, and $1,960,053, to
$6,714,082, and $13,558,124, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004
respectively as compared to the same periods in 2003. The decreases were due to
a combination of lower rates earned and lower volumes of loans. While interest
rates earned on investments were lower than last year, volumes were higher
causing this segment of interest income to increase over last year. Interest
expense decreased $509,359 to $2,584,346 for the three months ended March 31,
2004 and $1,276,372 to $5,240,921 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 due to
lower rates and volumes of deposits and borrowings.

Provision for loan loss decreased $136,920 to $41,801 and $302,209 to $82,997
for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same prior
year periods due to a significant loss being incurred on an outstanding
commercial loan during this period last year.

The following table presents average balances and associated rates earned and
paid for all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the
six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Continued)

It is the Company's policy to carry REO the lower of cost or the net realizable
value less estimated costs to sell. 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. Net charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2004 were $105,000 and
were incurred primarily due to a charge-off related to non-residential REO
during the quarter.

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.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

The Company's non-interest income for the three and six months ended March 31,
2004, was $511,423 and $1,067,789 as compared to $650,276 and $1,337,525 for the
same periods one year ago. The decrease was attributable to decreases in gains
on sales of loans. As mortgage interest rates have started to increase slightly,
the volume of loan refinancings has declined, and so loan sales has decreased
significantly. Gains on sales of loans decreased $191,404 to $3,915 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The
decrease for the six- month period ended March 31 2004 as compared to 2003 was
$349,495 to $25,636. Management anticipates that the refinancing volume will
continue at a much slower pace this year than last, which may negatively impact
non-interest income. Trust income, however, increased $33,852 and $79,444 to
$96,055 and $201,082 for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2004.
This increase is due to the increased volume of trust assets administered due to
the merger of the trust department of First Federal of Huntington, IN. This
increased fee income should partially offset the loss of loan sales gains.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

Peoples Federal Savings Bank has reached an agreement with First Federal Savings
Bank of Huntington, IN, and has started to administer First Savings trust
accounts. Regulatory approval is expected to be received shortly.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 was
$2,907,855 and $5,643,123, as compared to $2,730,590 and $5,468,957 for the same
periods in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits increased $161,405 to $1,586,548
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and $242,314 to $3,179,794 for the six
months due to regular salary increases.

Equipment and occupancy expense remained virtually unchanged from the prior year
at $839,020 for the six months ended March 31, 2004.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense decreased to $1,273,600 from $1,593,050 for the six months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 due to lower pretax income. The effective tax rate
for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was 34.8% and 35.5%.

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 March
31, 2004 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 December 31, 2003 and 2002. 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


16



PEOPLES BANCORP
AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued )

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 December 31, 2003 and
2002 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 300 and down 100 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

As of March 31, 2004, 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.
