PART I
ITEM 1. Description of Business
Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation") was organized under the laws of the
State of Ohio on September 27, 1983, and is registered as a bank holding company
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation, as the
result of a merger and reorganization effective in 1984, acquired all of the
voting shares of The Croghan Colonial Bank (the "Bank"), an Ohio chartered bank
organized in 1888. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Corporation, and
substantially all of the Corporation's operations are conducted through the
Bank. The principal offices of both the Corporation and the Bank are located at
323 Croghan Street, Fremont, Ohio. The Bank also operates eight Ohio branch
offices: two in Bellevue, one in Clyde, three in Fremont, one in Green Springs,
and one in Monroeville. The Corporation and the Bank had total consolidated
assets of $335,040,000 at December 31, 1997.
The Corporation, through its subsidiary, the Bank, operates in one industry
segment, the commercial banking industry.
General
The Bank conducts a general banking business embracing the usual functions of
commercial, retail, and savings banking, including time, savings, money market
and demand deposits; commercial, industrial, agricultural, real estate, consumer
installment and credit card lending; safe deposit box rental; automatic teller
machines; trust department services; and other services tailored for individual
customers. The Bank makes and services secured and unsecured loans to
individuals, firms and corporations. The Bank makes direct loans to individuals
and purchases installment obligations from retailers, both with and without
recourse. The Bank makes a variety of residential, industrial, commercial and
agricultural loans secured by real estate, including interim construction
financing. Additionally, beginning in June 1995, investment products bearing no
FDIC insurance are offered through the Bank's Specialized Investment Division.
On a parent company only basis, the Corporation's only source of funds is the
receipt of dividends paid by the Bank subsidiary. The ability of the Bank to pay
dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations, and to
prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum
capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of
the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, unless the total of the
dividends in a calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for the year
combined with its retained profits of the two preceding years. Management
believes that the future earnings of the Bank will be sufficient to support
anticipated asset growth at the Bank and at the same time provide funds to the
Corporation to service debt and continue dividends at their current level.
On August 1, 1996, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Union Bancshares Corp. ("Union"), the sole shareholder of The Union Bank and
Savings Company, an Ohio banking corporation, for $20,227,000 cash plus $73,000
in acquisition costs pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization dated
February 15, 1996, and an Agreement of Merger dated March 27, 1996. The purchase
price was deemed representative of the fair market value of Union and was
subject to final adjustment based upon the results of an audit of Union's
financial statements as of July 31, 1996. The Corporation funded the acquisition
with internally-generated cash (primarily through the available undistributed
income of the Bank) and with $4,500,000 borrowed from NBD Bank. The transaction
was accounted for as a purchase with Union's assets and liabilities stated at
their fair values. The fair values of the assets acquired totalled $102,276,000
and the fair values of the liabilities assumed totalled $91,545,000. Goodwill
arising from the purchase of $9,569,000 is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a period of 15 years.

ITEM 1. Description of Business, Continued
Regulation and Supervision
The Corporation, as a registered bank holding company, is subject to regulation
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The Act limits the activities in
which the Corporation and the Bank may engage to those activities that the
Federal Reserve Board finds, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. A
favorable determination by the Federal Reserve Board as to whether any such new
activity by the Corporation or the Bank is in the public interest, taking into
account both the likely adverse effects and the likely benefits, is also
necessary before any such activity may be engaged in. A bank holding company is
prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any company
that is not a bank or bank holding company unless its business and activities
would be acceptable for the bank holding company itself. The Federal Reserve
Board, however, is empowered to differentiate between activities which are
initiated de novo by a bank holding company or a subsidiary and activities
commenced by acquisition of a going concern. The Act also requires every bank
holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before
acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or acquiring
ownership or control of any voting shares of any other bank, if after such
acquisition, it would own or control such bank. In making such determinations,
the Federal Reserve Board considers the effect of the acquisition on
competition, the financial and managerial resources of the holding company and
the convenience and needs of the affected communities.
The Federal Reserve Board possesses cease and desist powers over bank holding
companies and their non-bank subsidiaries for activities that are deemed by the
Board of Governors to constitute a serious risk to the financial safety,
soundness or stability of a bank holding company, that are inconsistent with
sound banking principles or that are in violation of law. Further, under Section
106 of the 1970 Amendments to the Board's regulations, bank holding companies
and their subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or lease or sale of any
property or the furnishing of services.
The Bank, as an Ohio chartered bank, is supervised by the State of Ohio Division
of Financial Institutions. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve
System and subject to its supervision. As such, the Bank is subject to periodic
examinations by both the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal
Reserve Board. These examinations are designed primarily for the protection of
the Bank's depositors and not for its shareholders. The Bank must file with the
Ohio Division of Financial Institutions prescribed periodic reports containing a
full and accurate statement of its affairs.
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act of
1977, as amended (the "CRA"), which is designed to encourage financial
institutions to give special attention to the needs of low and moderate income
areas in meeting the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. If
the CRA regulatory evaluation of a bank's activities is less than satisfactory,
regulatory approval of proposed acquisitions, branch openings and other
applications requiring Federal Reserve Board approval may be delayed until a
satisfactory CRA evaluation is achieved. The Bank currently has a CRA regulatory
evaluation of outstanding.
The Corporation and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal and state 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 Corporation's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
4
5
ITEM 1. Description of Business, Continued
corrective action, the Corporation and Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The 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 Corporation and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to
average assets. Management believes that the Corporation and Bank meet all
capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The Corporation's only source of funds are dividends paid by the Bank. The
ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various
laws and regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally,
subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend
without the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions,
unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of its net
profits for the year combined with its retained profits of the two preceding
years. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally considers
it to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice for a bank holding company to
pay dividends except out of current operating income, although other factors
such as overall capital adequacy and projected income may also be relevant in
determining whether dividends should be paid.
Effects of Government Monetary Policy
The earnings of the Bank are affected by general and local economic conditions
and by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities. In
particular, the Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and
interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions, primarily
through open market acquisitions or dispositions of United States Government
securities, varying the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and setting
reserve requirements against member and nonmember bank deposits. Federal Reserve
Board monetary policies have had a significant effect on the interest income and
interest expense of commercial banks, including the Bank, and are expected to
continue to do so in the future.
Competition
The Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, has active competition in
all areas in which it engages. The Bank competes for commercial and individual
deposits and/or loans with other commercial banks in Huron, Sandusky, and Seneca
counties in Northwestern Ohio, as well as with savings and loan associations in
the trade area, credit unions connected with local businesses, brokerage firms,
mutual funds, and financial units of non-local bank holding companies. The Bank
focuses on personalized service, convenience of facilities, pricing of products,
community stature, and its local ownership and control in meeting its
competition.
Employees
The Corporation has no employees and conducts its business through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank.
As of December 31, 1997, the Bank employed 167 full-time employees and 33
part-time employees to whom it provides a variety of benefits and with whom it
believes relationships are excellent.
The following pages present various statistical disclosures required for bank
holding companies. The information represents only domestic information since
the Corporation has no foreign operations or foreign loans.

Commercial loans are those made for commercial, industrial, and professional
purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other business
enterprises. Financial loans are those made to banks, depository institutions,
other associations and financial intermediaries whose business is to accept
deposits and extend credit. Agricultural loans are for the purpose of financing
agricultural production, including all costs associated with growing crops or
raising livestock. These loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or
unsecured, requiring one single repayment or on an installment repayment
schedule. The loans involve certain risks relating to changes in local and
national economic conditions and the resulting effect on the borrowing entities.
Real estate - mortgage loans are secured wholly or substantially by a lien on
real property. Real estate - mortgage loans generally pose the least risk
exposure to the Bank.
Real estate - construction loans are made to finance land development prior to
erecting new structures and the construction of new buildings or additions to
existing buildings. Real estate - construction loans pose more risk than real
estate - mortgage loans, but generally afford adequate security upon completion
of the construction project.
Consumer loans are made to individuals for household, family, and other personal
expenditures. These often include the purchase of vehicles or furniture,
educational expenses, medical expenses, taxes, or vacation expenses. Consumer
loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, generally
requiring repayment on an installment repayment schedule. Consumer loans pose
relatively higher risk and are also influenced by local and national economic
conditions.
Credit card and other loans are made to individuals for personal expenditures
and principally arise from bank credit cards. Such loans generally pose the most
risk as they are most frequently unsecured.
There are no foreign loans and lease financing receivables were $511,000 in 1997
and $515,000 in 1996 (none in years prior to 1996).

The above maturity information is based on the contract terms at December 31,
1997 and does not include any possible "rollover" at maturity date. In the
normal course of business, the Bank considers and acts upon the borrower's
request for renewal of a loan at maturity. Evaluation of such a request includes
a review of the borrower's credit history, the collateral securing the loan, and
the purpose for such request.

Risk Elements
The following table presents information concerning the amount of loans at
December 31, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, and 1993 which contain certain risk
elements:
December 31,

Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (1) $212 649 845 604 531
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more
as to principal or interest payments (2) 582 764 477 845 733
Loans whose terms have been renegotiated to
provide a reduction or deferral of interest
or principal because of a deterioration in the
financial position of the borrower (1) (3) -- 471 -- -- --
==== === === === ===
(1) Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of
management, full collection of principal and interest is unlikely.
Interest is then recognized on a cash basis where future collections of
principal are probable. The amount of interest income that would have
been recorded had all nonaccrual and renegotiated (of the type specified
above) loans been current in accordance with their terms approximated
$100,000 in 1997, $167,000 in 1996, $89,000 in 1995, $77,000 in 1994,
and $50,000 in 1993. Actual interest included in income on these loans
amounted to approximately $84,000 in 1997, $130,000 in 1996, $27,000 in
1995, $16,000 in 1994, and $8,000 in 1993.
(2) Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis.
(3) Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans
contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest
payments.
In addition to the loan amounts identified above, there were approximately
$1,992,000 of potential problem loans at December 31, 1997, none of which relate
to any concentrated risk elements common to all the loans. While these loans are
all currently performing, management has serious doubts about the ability of the
borrowers to continue to comply with all of their present loan repayment terms.
As of December 31, 1997 there was no concentration of loans that exceeded 10% of
total loans.

(1) The determination of the balance of the allowance for possible loan
losses is based upon an analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects an
amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for
possible loan losses. Such analysis is based on the character of the
loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past loan loss experience,
and such other factors as management believes require current
recognition in estimating possible loan losses.
(2) The amount of charge-offs and recoveries fluctuates from year to year
due to factors relating to the condition of the general economy and
specific business segments. The 1994 charge-offs included one real
estate - mortgage loan write-down of $116,946. The 1995 recoveries
included one real estate - mortgage loan recovery of $63,465 and one
commercial loan recovery of $122,700. The 1996 charge-offs included one
real estate - construction loan write-off of $197,452 and the 1996
recoveries included a $186,769 recovery on the same real estate -
construction loan. The 1997 real estate - mortgage recoveries included
a $191,782 recovery.
