ITEM 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1991. The Commercial and Savings Bank (the “Bank”), an Ohio banking corporation chartered in 1879, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve system, and its deposits are insured up to the maximum provided by the law by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The primary banking regulators of the Bank are the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board.

The Bank provides retail and commercial banking services to its customers, including checking and savings accounts, time deposits, IRAs, safe deposit facilities, personal loans, commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans, night depository facilities and trust services.

The Bank grants residential real estate, commercial real estate, consumer and commercial loans to customers located primarily in Holmes County and portions of surrounding counties in Ohio. The general economic conditions in the Company’s market area have been sound. Unemployment statistics have generally been among the lowest in the state of Ohio and real estate values have been stable to rising.

Certain risks are involved in granting loans, primarily related to the borrowers’ ability and willingness to repay the debt. Before the Bank extends or renews a new loan to a customer, these risks are assessed through a review of the borrower’s past and current credit history, collateral being used to secure the transaction, borrower’s character, and other factors. Once the decision has been made to extend credit, the Bank’s independent loan review function monitors these factors throughout the life of the loan. For all commercial loan relationships greater than $100,000, the Bank’s internal credit department performs an annual risk rating review. In addition to this review, an independent outside loan review firm is engaged to review all watch list and adversely classified credits, commercial loan relationships greater than $250,000, a sample of commercial loan relationships less than $250,000 and a sample of consumer/mortgage loans. In addition, any loan identified as a problem credit by management and/or the external loan review consultants is assigned to the Bank’s “loan watch list,” and is subject to ongoing review by the Bank’s credit department and the assigned loan officer to ensure appropriate action is taken when deterioration has occurred.

 


Table of Contents

Commercial loans are variable as well as fixed rate and include operating lines of credit and term loans made to small businesses primarily based on their ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the business. Such loans are typically secured by business assets such as equipment and inventory, and occasionally by the business owner’s principal residence. When the borrower is not an individual, the Bank generally obtains the personal guarantee of the business owner. As compared to consumer lending, which includes single-family residence, personal installment loans and automobile loans, commercial lending entails significant additional risks. These loans typically involve larger loan balances, are generally dependent on the cash flow of the business, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the general economy or in a specific industry. Management reviews the borrower’s cash flows when deciding whether to grant the credit to evaluate whether estimated future cash flows will be adequate to service principal and interest of the new obligation in addition to existing obligations.

Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by borrower-occupied business real estate and are dependent on the ability of the related business to generate adequate cash flow to service the debt. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated with a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less. Management performs much the same analysis when deciding whether to grant a commercial real estate loan as when deciding whether to grant a commercial loan.

Residential real estate loans carry both fixed and variable rates and are secured by the borrower’s residence. Such loans are made based on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income. Management assesses the borrower’s ability to repay the debt through review of credit history and ratings, verification of employment and other income, review of debt-to-income ratios and other measures of repayment ability. The Bank generally makes these loans in amounts of 90% or less of the value of collateral. An appraisal is obtained from a qualified real estate appraiser for substantially all loans secured by real estate. Construction loans are secured by residential and business real estate that generally will be occupied by the borrower on completion. While not contractually required to do so, the Bank usually makes the permanent loan at the end of the construction phase. Construction loans also are made in amounts of 90% or less of the value of the collateral.

Installment loans to individuals include loans secured by automobiles and other consumer assets, including second mortgages on personal residences. Consumer loans for the purchase of new automobiles generally do not exceed 80% of the purchase price of the car. Loans for used cars generally do not exceed average wholesale or trade-in values as stipulated in a recent auto-industry used-car price guide. Credit card and overdraft protection loans are unsecured personal lines of credit to individuals of demonstrated good credit character with reasonably assured sources of income and satisfactory credit histories. Consumer loans generally involve more risk than residential mortgage loans because of the type and nature of collateral and, in certain types of consumer loans, absence of collateral. Since these loans are generally repaid from ordinary income of the individual or family unit, repayment may be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, ill health or by general decline in economic conditions. The Bank assesses the borrower’s ability to make repayment through a review of credit history, credit ratings, debt-to-income ratios and other measures of repayment ability.

While the Company’s chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Employees

At December 31, 2003, the Bank had 141 employees, 114 of which were employed on a full-time basis. The Company has no separate employees not also employed by the Bank. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

Competition

The Bank operates in a highly-competitive industry due, in part, to Ohio law permitting statewide branching by banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. Ohio law also permits nationwide interstate banking on a reciprocal basis. In its primary market area of Holmes and surrounding counties, the Bank competes for new deposit dollars and loans with several other commercial banks, both large regional banks and smaller community banks, as well as savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms and investment companies. The ability to generate earnings is impacted, in part, by competitive pricing on loans and deposits and by changes in the rates on various U.S. Treasury and State and political subdivision issues which comprise a significant portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio, and which rates are used as indices on several loan products. The Bank believes its presence in the Holmes County area provides the Bank with a competitive advantage due to its large asset base and ability to make loans and provide services to the local community.

     On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“Gramm-Leach”) that permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. Gramm-Leach may significantly change the competitive environment in which the Company conducts business. See “Financial Modernization” for further discussion.

     Supervision and Regulation

     The Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and periodic examination by the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board. Because the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures its deposits, the Bank is also subject to certain regulations of that federal agency. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision, regulation and periodic examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The earnings of the Company and the Bank are affected by state and federal laws and regulations, and by policies of various regulatory authorities. These policies include, for example, statutory maximum lending rates, requirements on maintenance of reserves against deposits, domestic monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, United States fiscal policy, international currency regulations and monetary policies, certain restrictions on banks’ relationships with many phases of the securities business and capital adequacy and liquidity restraints.

     Financial Modernization

     Pursuant to Gramm-Leach, a bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company. No prior regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

     Gramm-Leach defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Board has determined to be closely related to banking. Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has CRA rating of satisfactory or better.

     Statistical Disclosures

     The following schedules present, for the periods indicated, certain financial and statistical information of the Company as required under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 3, or a specific reference as to the location of required disclosures in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders (the “Annual Report”).

The weighted average yields are calculated using amortized cost of investments and are based on coupon rates for securities purchased at par value, and on effective interest rates considering amortization or accretion if securities were purchased at a premium or discount. The weighted average yield on tax-exempt obligations is presented on a tax-equivalent basis based on the Company’s marginal federal income tax rate of 34%. Other securities consist of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock bearing no stated maturity or yield and are not included in this analysis.

C. Excluding holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and other agencies and corporations of the U.S. Government, there were no investments in securities of any one issuer that exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2003.

C. Risk Elements

1. Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans — The following schedule summarizes nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans.

                                         
    December 31
(In thousands of dollars)
  2003
  2002
  2001
  2000
  1999
(a) Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis
  $ 1,170     $ 1,721     $ 3,159     $ 1,119     $ 529  
(b) Accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments
    75             119       226       1,008  
(c) Loans which are “troubled debt restructuring” as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting standards No. 15 (exclusive of loans in (a) or (b) above):
    -0-       -0-       -0-       -0-       -0-  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
 
Totals
  $ 1,345     $ 1,721     $ 3,278     $ 1,345     $ 1,537  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
 

The policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status is to cease accruing interest on loans when management believes that collection of interest is doubtful, when commercial loans are past due as to principal and interest 90 days or more or when mortgage and consumer loans are past due as to principal and interest 120 days or more, except that in certain circumstances interest accruals are continued on loans deemed by management to be well-secured and in process of collection. In such cases, loans are individually evaluated in order to determine whether to continue income recognition after 90 days beyond the due date. When loans are placed on nonaccrual, any accrued interest is charged against interest income. Consumer loans are not placed on non-accrual but are charged off after 120 days past due.

(d) Impaired Loans — Information regarding impaired loans at December 31 is as follows:

                         
(In thousands of dollars)
  2003
  2002
  2001
Balance of impaired loans at December 31
  $ 897     $ 916     $ 4,303  
Less portion for which no allowance for loan loss is allocated
                634  
Portion of impaired loan balance for which an allowance for loan losses is allocated
    897       916       3,669  
Portion of allowance for loan losses allocated to the impaired loan balance at December 31
    251       239       1,061  

Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the year amounted to $52,000 while $66,000 would have been recognized had the loans been performing under their contractual terms.

Impaired loans are comprised of commercial and commercial real estate loans, and are carried at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans.

Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first-mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences, residential construction loans, and automobile, home equity and second-mortgage loans less than $100,000. Such loans are included in nonaccrual and past due disclosures in (a) and (b) above, but not in the impaired loan totals. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows of the borrower’s business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

2. Potential Problem Loans — At December 31, 2003, no loans were identified that management has serious doubts about the borrowers’ ability to comply with present loan repayment terms that are not included in item III.C.1. On a monthly basis, the Company internally classifies certain loans based on various factors. At December 31, 2003, these amounts, including impaired and nonperforming loans, amounted to $6.2 million of substandard loans and $15,000 of doubtful loans.

3. Foreign Outstandings — There were no foreign outstandings during any period presented.

4. Loan Concentrations — As of December 31, 2003, there are no concentrations of loans greater than 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in Item III.A above.

D. Other Interest-Bearing Assets — As of December 31, 2003, there are no other interest-bearing assets required to be disclosed under Item III.C.1 or 2 if such assets were loans.

The allowance for loan losses balance and provision charged to expense are determined by management based on periodic reviews of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, economic conditions and various other circumstances subject to change over time. In making this judgment, management reviews selected large loans, as well as impaired loans, other delinquent, nonaccrual and problem loans and loans to industries experiencing economic difficulties. The collectibility of these loans is evaluated after considering current operating results and financial position of the borrower, estimated market value of collateral, guarantees and the Company’s collateral position versus other creditors. Judgments, which are necessarily subjective, as to the probability of loss and amount of such loss are formed on these loans, as well as other loans taken together.

B. The following schedule is a breakdown of the allowance for loan losses allocated by type of loan and related ratios. While management’s periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses may allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem-loan situations, the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur.

As indicated in the preceding table, the Bank had $47,082 in total loan commitments at the end of 2003, with $34,228 of that amount expiring within one year. All lines-of-credit represent either fee-paid or legally binding loan commitments for the loan categories noted. Letters of credit are also included in the amounts noted in the table since the Bank requires that each letter of credit be supported by a loan agreement. The commercial and consumer lines represent both unsecured and secured obligations. The real estate lines are secured by mortgages in residential and nonresidential property. The credit card lines were all made on an unsecured basis. It is anticipated that a significant portion of these lines will expire without being drawn upon, particularly the credit card lines, which represent the maximum amount available to all cardholders.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s other contractual obligations as of December 31, 2003:

Table of Contents

The long-term debt noted in the preceding table represents borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. The notes require payment of interest on a monthly basis with principal due in monthly installments at maturity, depending upon the issue. The obligations bear stated fixed interest rates and stipulate a prepayment penalty if the note’s interest rate exceeds the current market rate for similar borrowings at the time of repayment. As the notes mature, the Bank evaluates the liquidity and interest-rate circumstances at that point in time to determine whether to payoff or renew the note. The evaluation process typically includes: the strength of current and projected customer loan demand, the Bank’s federal funds sold or purchased position, projected cash flows from maturing investment securities, the current and projected market interest rate environment, local and national economic conditions, and customer demand for the Bank’s deposit product offerings.

As also indicated in the table, the Bank had no capital or long-term leases or unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2003. The Bank has several minor operating lease obligations which are not included in the table.
