NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine and three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003


1. Basis of Presentation
_____________________

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for
a complete presentation of consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto of Peoples Community Bancorp, Inc. ("Peoples
Bancorp" or the "Company") included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2003. However, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated financial statements, have been included.
The results of operations for the nine- and three-month periods
ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The
consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as
of September 30, 2003 has been derived from the audited statement
of financial condition of the Company as of that date.

On April 27, 2004, Peoples Community Bancorp completed a
secondary offering of 1,365,674 shares of common stock. The net
proceeds of the offering, totaling approximately $26.8 million,
will be used to fund Peoples Community Bancorp's growth strategy
and for general corporate purposes.

2. Business Combinations
_____________________

On July 25, 2003, Peoples Bank sold Kenwood Savings Bank,
including $10.0 million in deposits and $10.1 million of loans,
to Fort Washington Trust Company, a subsidiary of The Western and
Southern Life Insurance Company.

On September 26, 2003, Peoples Bank acquired two Ohio branch
offices from Ameriana Bank and Trust, including $32.8 million in
loans and $55.6 million in deposits. Peoples Bank recorded
approximately $2.3 million in goodwill as a result of this
transaction.

On March 16, 2004, Peoples Community Bancorp announced that it
had entered into a stock purchase agreement with various
stockholders of Columbia Bancorp, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, a
privately held bank holding company, to acquire 69,925 shares
held by these stockholders for an aggregate purchase price of
$2.5 million. These shares represent approximately 38% of
Columbia's presently issued and outstanding common stock. This
proposed stock purchase is subject to regulatory approval.
Assuming regulatory approval, Peoples Community Bancorp, Inc.
would become a bank holding company. Peoples Community Bancorp,
Inc. does not anticipate any significant changes to its
operations if it becomes a bank holding company.

3. Principles of Consolidation
___________________________

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned
subsidiary. All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated. In December 2003, FASB issued a revision to FIN 46
to clarify certain provisions that affected the accounting for
trust preferred securities. As a result of the provisions in FIN
46, Peoples Bancorp Capital Trust I was deconsolidated as of June
30, 2004, with the Company accounting for its investment in
Peoples Community Bancorp Capital Trust I as assets, its
subordinated debentures as debt, and the interest paid thereon as
interest expense. The Company had always classified the trust
preferred securities as debt, but eliminated its common stock
investment.

4. Earnings Per Share
__________________

Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average
shares outstanding during the period, less 49,280 and 33,320
unallocated ESOP shares as of June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking
into consideration common shares outstanding and dilutive
potential common shares to be issued under the Company's stock
option plan. The computations were as follows:

========= ========= ========= =========


Options to purchase 53,360 shares of common stock at a weighted-
average exercise price of $23.21 were outstanding at June 30,
2004, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share for the nine and three month periods ended June 30,
2004, because the exercise price was greater than the average
market price of the common shares.

5. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
___________________________________________

There were no recent accounting pronouncements or developments
through June 30, 2004 that would have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

6. Stock Option Plan
_________________

During fiscal 2001 the Board of Directors adopted the Peoples
Community Bancorp, Inc. Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") that provides for the issuance of 197,773 shares of
authorized but unissued shares of common stock at fair value at
the date of grant. Through June 30, 2004, the Company has
granted options for 170,797 shares, net of forfeitures, under the
Plan. The Plan provides that one-fifth of the options granted
become exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the
date of grant. The remaining shares in the Plan may be granted
to employees in increments of 20% per year based on management's
discretion.

The Company accounts for the Plan in accordance with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a
fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that
entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant
date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then
recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting
period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue
to account for stock options and similar equity instruments under
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to
account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required
to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per
share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

It is the Company's policy to recognize expense related to the
vesting of its stock options in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123. Total expense related to options for the nine
month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $138,000
and $102,000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

For the nine and three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003


6. Stock Option Plan (continued)
_________________

The fair value of the option grants are estimated on the date of
grant using the modified Black-Scholes options-pricing model with
the following assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2004, 2003
and 2002: dividend yield of 2.5% and no dividend yield for 2003
and 2002, respectively; expected volatility of 26.6%, 21.4% and
20.0%, respectively; a risk-free interest rate of 4.6%, 3.6% and
2.0%, respectively, and an expected life of ten years for all
grants.

A summary of the status of the Plan for the nine months ended
June 30, 2004 and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003
and 2002, is presented below:

Weighted-average fair value of
options granted during the period $ 4.50 $ 9.41 $ 6.19
===== ===== =====



The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the
period is lower than those in previous periods due to the current
payment of dividends on the stock and the present value of these
future dividend payments over the life of the option. In
calculating the fair value of the options, the present value of
these dividends reduces the final fair value of the options.

The following information applies to options outstanding at June
30, 2004:

Number outstanding 117,317
Range of exercise prices $14.00 - $20.25

Number outstanding 53,019
Exercise price $23.20 - $23.22

Weighted-average exercise price $17.76
Weighted-average remaining contractual life 7.92 years

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General
_______

Peoples Bancorp's profitability depends primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between interest and dividend
income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-
backed securities, investment securities and interest-earning
deposits in other financial institutions, and interest expense,
principally on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. Net interest income is
dependent upon the level of interest rates and the extent to
which such rates are changing. Peoples Bancorp's profitability
also depends, to a lesser extent, on the level of other income,
the provision for losses on loans, general, administrative and
other expenses and federal income taxes.

Peoples Bancorp's operations and profitability are subject to
changes in interest rates, applicable statutes and regulations
and general economic conditions, as well as other factors beyond
management's control.

Critical Accounting Policies
____________________________

The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations," as well as disclosures found
elsewhere in this quarterly report, are based upon the Company's
consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in
accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses. Several factors are considered in determining
whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of
financial statements. These factors include, among other things,
whether the estimates are significant to the financial
statements, the nature of the estimates, the ability to readily
validate the estimates with other information, including third
parties or available prices, and sensitivity of the estimates to
changes in economic conditions and whether alternative accounting
methods may be utilized under US GAAP.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change in the near term relate to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses and goodwill impairment. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses reflect management's evaluation of credit risk after
consideration of all information available. In developing this
assessment, management must rely on estimates and exercise
judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown,
such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in
specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers.
Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of
credit risk may yield materially different results, which may
require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan
losses.

The allowance is regularly reviewed by management to determine
whether the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable
losses. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on
certain individually reviewed loans, statistical loss estimates
for loan pools that are based on historical loss experience, and
general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and
concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios,
adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay,
and current economic and industry conditions. Also considered
as part of that judgment is a review of the Bank's trends in
delinquencies and loan losses, as well as trends in delinquencies
and losses for the region and nationally, and economic factors.

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


Critical Accounting Policies (continued)
____________________________

Goodwill

The Company has developed procedures to test goodwill for
impairment on an annual basis using September 30 financial data.
The evaluation of possible impairment is outsourced to a third
party. This evaluation is based on the analysis set forth below.

The test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities,
identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and
comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying
value including goodwill. The value is determined assuming a
freely negotiated transaction between a willing buyer and a
willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell
and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. The
third party selected by management utilizes the following common
approaches to valuing business combination transactions involving
financial institutions to derive the fair value of the reporting
unit: (1) the comparable transactions approach which is
specifically based on earnings, book value, assets and deposit
premium multiples received in recent sales of comparable bank
franchises; and (2) the discounted cash flow ("DCF") approach.
The application of the valuation techniques takes into account
the reporting unit's operating history, the current market
environment and future prospects. As of the most recent
evaluation, the only reporting unit carrying goodwill is the
Bank.

If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying
amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired
and no second step is required. If the fair value does not
exceed the carrying amount, a second test is required to measure
the amount of goodwill impairment. The second test of the
overall goodwill impairment compares the implied fair value of
the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the
goodwill. The impairment loss shall equal the excess of carrying
value over fair value.

After each testing period, the third party compiles a summary of
the test that is then provided to the audit committee for review.


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from September 30, 2003

At June 30, 2004, the Company's assets totaled $852.2 million, an
increase of $113.5 million, or 15.4%, compared to September 30,
2003. The increase in assets was comprised primarily of an
increase of $74.1 million in mortgage-backed securities and an
increase of $29.1 million in loans receivable, primarily funded
by a $75.6 million increase in borrowings, $26.8 million raised
in connection with the Company's secondary stock offering and
$8.4 million in new deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.1 million from
September 30, 2003 levels, to a total of $13.1 million at June
30, 2004. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $207.9 million at
June 30, 2004, an increase of $74.1 million, or 55.4%, compared
to September 30, 2003. The purchase of $109.3 million in
mortgage-backed securities during the period was partially offset
by $33.5 million in principal repayments. Management has elected
to purchase long-term, adjustable-rate government agency
securities funded by advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank,
proceeds from the secondary stock offering and deposit growth.
These purchases are designed to provide a strong total return to
the Company and manage interest rate risk.

Loans receivable totaled $583.4 million at June 30, 2004, an
increase of $29.1 million, or 5.2%, over the September 30, 2003
levels. Loan disbursements totaling $202.9 million during the
nine-month period ended June 30, 2004 were partially offset by
principal repayments of $165.0 million and sales of loans in the
secondary market totaling $7.1 million. The Company's volume of
loan disbursements decreased by $7.6 million, or 3.6%, compared
to the loan

origination volume attained in the nine-month period ended June
30, 2003, due primarily to the continued low interest rate
environment and a corresponding decrease in loan refinancing.
Loan disbursements were comprised of $94.8 million of loans
secured by one- to four-family residential real estate, $29.1
million of loans secured by multi-family real estate, $54.9
million of loans secured by commercial real estate and land and
$24.1 million in commercial lines of credit and other loans.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.2 million at June 30,
2004, compared to $9.7 million at September 30, 2003. Due
primarily to a continuing change in the composition and the
relative credit risk of the loan portfolio, $2.7 million was
added to the allowance through the provision for losses on loans
during the nine months ended June 30, 2004, while approximately
$2.3 million of loans were charged-off during the same period.
The charged-off loans were comprised of $604,000 in loans secured
by one- to four-family residential real estate, a $1.4 million
loan secured by multi-family real estate, $51,000 in loans
secured by land and $188,000 in commercial and other loans. The
$1.4 million charge-off on the multi-family property resulted
from a new appraisal obtained on the property which is being
posted for foreclosure.

Over the past three fiscal years, the Bank has placed an
increasing emphasis on multi-family residential loans,
nonresidential real estate and land loans, construction loans,
unsecured commercial loans and to a lesser degree, consumer
loans. Nonresidential real estate lending and unsecured
commercial lending are generally considered to involve a higher
degree of risk than residential real estate lending due to the
relatively larger loan amounts and the effect of general economic
conditions on the successful operation of the related business
and/or income-producing properties. The Bank has endeavored to
reduce such risk by evaluating the credit history and the past
performance of the borrower, the quality of the borrowers'
management, the debt service ratio, the quality and
characteristics of the income stream generated by the business or
the property and appraisals supporting the property's valuation,
as applicable.

Nonperforming loans and impaired loans totaled $6.6 million and
$9.6 million at June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003,
respectively. Nonperforming loans and impaired loans at June 30,
2004 consisted of approximately $3.0 million of one- to four-
family residential loans, $2.3 million in multi-family
residential loans, $56,000 in loans secured by commercial real
estate and land, $1.1 million in construction loans, and $166,000
in commercial and consumer loans.

In spite of the $3.0 million decrease in nonperforming and
impaired loans, the Bank's internally classified loans increased
by $902,000, or 6.8%, to a total of $14.1 million at June 30,
2004, compared to September 30, 2003. The classifications
consisted of loans classified special mention totaling $2.9
million and $11.2 million of loans classified as substandard.
The increase was due primarily to the classification of
approximately $1.2 million of construction loans and $750,000 in
an unsecured commercial line of credit to one borrower who is a
local developer and builder. The loans were classified as
special mention due primarily to the borrower experiencing cash
flow difficulties. As of the date of this report, it is
management's belief that the nonperforming and classified loans
are adequately reserved and no material unreserved losses are
presently anticipated on these loans.

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.60% and 1.57% of
total loans at June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003,
respectively. The allowance for loan losses represented 154.70%
and 134.15% of nonperforming and impaired loans as of June 30,
2004 and September 30, 2003, respectively. Although management
believes that its allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004 was
appropriate based upon the available facts and circumstances,
there can be no assurance that additions to such allowance will
not be necessary in future periods, which would adversely affect
the Company's results of operations.

Deposits totaled $464.3 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of
$8.4 million, or 1.9%, over September 30, 2003 levels. The
increase in deposits was due primarily to management's continuing
focus on deposit growth through marketing and pricing strategies
and continual focus on increasing the branch office network.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings
totaled $295.5 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $75.6
million, or 34.4%, compared to September 30, 2003 totals.
Proceeds obtained from the advances and other borrowings were
generally used to fund the purchase of mortgage-backed securities
and to fund loan originations.

Stockholders' equity totaled $74.7 million, or 8.8% of total
assets, at June 30, 2004, an increase of $28.0 million, or 60.0%,
over September 30, 2003 levels. The increase resulted primarily
from $26.8 million in proceeds received for 1,365,674 shares of
common stock sold in connection with the Company's secondary
stock offering, net earnings of $2.2 million, and the expense
amortization effects of the stock benefit and option plans
totaling $554,000, which were partially offset by dividends paid
of $583,000 and a $380,000 decrease attributable to the change in
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

The Bank is required to meet minimum capital standards
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). At June
30, 2004, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded each of the
minimum capital requirements.

Net earnings amounted to $751,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2004, a decrease of $215,000, or 22.3%, compared to the
$966,000 of net earnings reported for the same period in 2003.
The decrease in earnings resulted primarily from a $679,000 or
25.3 % increase in general, administrative and other expense and
a $408,000 or 63.4% decrease in other income, which were
partially offset by a $472,000 or 10.1% increase in net interest
income, a decrease of $288,000 or 24.2% in the provision for
losses on loans, and a $112,000 or 22.5% decrease in federal
income taxes.


Net Interest Income
___________________


Interest income on loans increased by $82,000, or 0.9% during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to the 2003
period, due primarily to a $61.6 million, or 11.8%, increase in
the average portfolio balance outstanding, which was partially
offset by a 64 basis point decrease in the weighted-average
yield, to 5.99% for the 2004 period. The increase in the average
balance was due primarily to the acquisition of two branch
offices of Ameriana Bank and Trust in September 2003 and the
Company's continued strong loan origination volume, while the
decrease in yield reflected a general decrease in market rates
and the corresponding downward repricing of certain adjustable
rate loans, as well as $253,000 of amortization of the premium
paid on the loans purchased from Ameriana.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by
$673,000, or 144.1%, due primarily to a $153.1 million, or
253.7%, increase in the average balance outstanding, which was
partially offset by a 96 basis point decrease in the weighted-
average yield, to 2.14% in the 2004 period. Management purchased
$8.3 million of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities during
the three months ended June 30, 2004, in an effort to manage
liquidity and interest rate risk, as well as to provide interest
income with minimal credit risk, due to the implicit guaranty of
government-sponsored agencies.

Net Interest Income (continued)
___________________


Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing
deposits and other decreased by $7,000, or 4.8%, due primarily to
a $12.4 million, or 44.6%, decrease in the average balance of the
related assets, partially offset by a 151 basis point increase in
the weighted-average yield, to 3.61% in the 2004 period. The
decrease in the average balance of such assets was primarily due
to the reinvestment of excess funds in mortgage-backed securities
and the funding of loan disbursements. The increase in the
weighted-average yield was due to rising interest rates available
on these types of investments period to period.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $59,000, or 2.1%, due
primarily to an increase of approximately $69.0 million, or
17.6%, in the average balance of deposits outstanding, partially
offset by a 38 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost
of deposits, to 2.47% for the 2004 period. Interest expense on
borrowings increased by $217,000, or 11.9%, due primarily to a
$127.0 million, or 67.1%, increase in the average balance of
borrowings outstanding, partially offset by a 126 basis point
decrease in the average cost of borrowings, to 2.57% for the 2004
period. Proceeds from advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
and other borrowings were generally used to fund the purchase of
adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and to fund loan
originations. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings is
due primarily to the addition of shorter term, lower rate
advances during the period.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and
interest expense, net interest income increased by $472,000, or
10.1%, to a total of $5.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. The interest rate
spread decreased to 2.42% for the three months ended June 30,
2004, from 2.90% for the comparable 2003 period, while the net
interest margin decreased to 2.54% for the three months ended
June 30, 2004, compared to 3.07% for the same period in 2003.

Provision for Losses on Loans
_____________________________

A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring
the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered
appropriate by management based on historical loss experience,
the volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, the status
of past due principal and interest payments, general economic
conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Bank's
market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of
the Bank's loan portfolio. After considering the above factors,
management recorded a provision for losses on loans totaling
$900,000 and $1.2 million for the three-month periods ended June
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The provision recorded during
the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 was predicated
primarily upon the change in the portfolio mix taking into
account the increase in loans secured by multi-family and
nonresidential real estate, and unsecured commercial lines of
credit, as well as an increase in both the overall loan portfolio
and the level of the Bank's loan charge-offs year to year. Such
types of lending are generally considered to involve a higher
degree of risk than one- to four-family residential lending.
While management presently believes the Company's allowance for
loan losses is sufficient to absorb inherent losses in the
portfolio, there can be no assurance that the allowance will be
sufficient to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.

Other Income
____________

Other income totaled $236,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2004, a decrease of $408,000, or 63.4%, compared to the $644,000
recorded for the same period in 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to the absence of $493,000 in gains on sales of securities in
the current quarter as compared to the same period in 2003, which
were partially offset by a $38,000, or 25.2%, increase in other
operating income, and a $47,000 gain on sale of loans in the

secondary market. The increase in other operating income
resulted primarily from increases in fees related to the growth
of loans and deposit transactions from period to period.

In connection with the Ameriana transaction, management initiated
a program to originate and sell certain residential loans in the
secondary market on a servicing released basis. Management
believes that personnel added to the Bank's staff through the
Ameriana transaction possess the requisite experience to promote
this sales activity. This sales activity is being conducted in
order to accommodate consumer demand through origination and sale
of lower-rate, one- to four-family residential loans and as a
means for the Bank to maintain its interest rate risk position.

General, Administrative and Other Expense
_________________________________________

General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of
$679,000, or 25.3%, compared to the same period in 2003. This
increase resulted primarily from an increase of $428,000, or
30.2%, in employee compensation and benefits, an increase of
$130,000, or 31.6%, in occupancy and equipment, an increase of
$12,000, or 7.1%, in franchise taxes, a $93,000, or 62.8%,
increase in data processing and a $16,000, or 3.0%, increase in
other operating expense.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits was due
primarily to an increase in staffing levels to support the
overall growth and branch structure of the Bank, normal merit
increases, and an increase in health insurance costs and other
employee benefits. The actual number of employees has increased
approximately 21% period to period. The increase in occupancy
and equipment expense primarily reflects increased depreciation
and maintenance costs associated with the Company's new and
acquired branch offices, in accordance with the Company's ongoing
commitment to expand its branch office network. The increase in
franchise taxes reflects the continued growth and profitability
of the Company. The increase in data processing reflects costs
associated with continued growth in loan and deposit accounts and
costs associated with the conversion to a new core processor
which was completed in June 2004. The increase in other
operating expense was due primarily to an increase in costs
related to maintaining real estate acquired through foreclosure
and other operating costs associated with the Company's overall
growth year to year.

In January 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to change
its data processing provider, based upon a six-month evaluation
of available alternatives. The conversion to the new system was
completed in June 2004. The new system provides an enhanced
framework for expanded products and services and continued
growth. The effects of the agreement will require after-tax
expense to be recognized over the next two quarters ending
December 31, 2004 of approximately $72,000 per quarter, or a
total of approximately $144,000.

Federal Income Taxes
____________________

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $386,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $112,000, or
22.5%, compared to the $498,000 provision recorded in the same
period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
pre-tax earnings of $327,000, or 22.3%. The Company's effective
tax rate was 34.0% for each of the three-month periods ended June
30, 2004 and 2003.

million increase in general, administrative and other expense and
a $97,000 decrease in other income, partially offset by a $1.3
million increase in net interest income, a decrease of $598,000
in the provision for losses on loans, and a $250,000 decrease in
federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income
___________________

Interest income on loans decreased by $679,000, or 2.6% during
the nine-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to the 2003
period, due primarily to a 157 basis point decrease in the
weighted-average yield, to 5.95% for the 2004 period, which was
partially offset by a $108.6 million, or 23.2%, increase in the
average portfolio balance outstanding. The increase in the
average balance was due primarily to the acquisition of two
branch offices of Ameriana Bank and Trust in September 2003, the
Company's loan origination volume and declining repayment rate on
the loan portfolio during the current nine-month period, while
the decrease in yield reflected a general decrease in market
rates and the corresponding downward repricing of adjustable rate
loans, as well as $788,000 of amortization of the premium paid on
the loans acquired in the Ameriana transaction.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $2.6
million, or 222.9%, due primarily to a $151.0 million, or 305.7%,
increase in the average balance outstanding, which was partially
offset by a 64 basis point decrease in the weighted-average
yield, to 2.51% in the 2004 period. Management purchased $109.3
million of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities during the
nine months ended June 30, 2004, in an effort to manage liquidity
and interest rate risk, as well as to provide interest income
with minimal credit risk, due to the implicit guaranty of
government-sponsored agencies.

Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing
deposits and other decreased by $87,000, or 17.5%, due primarily
to a $10.4 million, or 39.5%, decrease in the average balance of
the related assets, partially offset by a 91 basis point increase
in the weighted-average yield, to 3.42% in the 2004 period. The
decrease in the average balance of such assets was primarily due
to the reinvestment of excess funds in mortgage-backed securities
and the funding of loan disbursements.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $211,000, or 2.4%, due
primarily to a 78 basis point decrease in the weighted-average
cost of deposits, to 2.52% for the 2004 period, partially offset
by an increase of approximately $100.5 million, or 28.8%, in the
average balance of deposits outstanding. The increase in the
average balance was due primarily to the acquisition of two
branch offices of Ameriana Bank and Trust in September 2003.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $765,000, or 14.3%,
due primarily to a $144.1 million, or 86.9%, increase in the
average balance of borrowings outstanding, partially offset by a
167 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings, to
2.63% for the 2004 period. . Proceeds from advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings were generally used
to fund the purchase of adjustable rate mortgage-backed
securities and to fund loan originations. The decrease in the
average cost of borrowings is due primarily to the addition of
shorter term, lower rate advances during the period.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and
interest expense, net interest income increased by $1.3 million,
or 9.1%, to a total of $15.3 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. The interest
rate spread decreased to 2.46% for the nine months ended June 30,

interest margin decreased to 2.58% for the nine months ended June

the period ended June 30, 2004 was predicated primarily upon a
change in the portfolio mix taking into account the increase in
loans secured by multi-family and nonresidential real estate, and
unsecured commercial lines of credit, a $29.1 million, or 5.2%,
growth in the loan portfolio, as well as the increases in the
level of the Bank's internally classified loans and loans charged-

Other income totaled $832,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2004, a decrease of $97,000, or 10.4%, compared to $929,000
recorded for the same period in 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to the absence of $493,000 in gains on sales of securities in
the current nine month period as compared to the same period in
2003, which was partially offset by $206,000 in gains recorded on
the sale of real estate during the period ended June 30, 2004, a
$103,000, or 23.6%, increase in other income, and an $87,000 gain
recorded on the sale of loans in the secondary market.

In connection with the Ameriana transaction, management initiated
a program during the quarter ended December 31, 2003, to
originate and sell certain residential loans in the secondary

General, administrative and other expense totaled $10.1 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.5
million, or 33.2%, compared to the same period in 2003. This
increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.6 million, or
42.2%, in employee compensation and benefits, an increase of
$270,000, or 21.3%, in occupancy and equipment, an increase of
$148,000, or 38.5%, in franchise taxes, a $353,000, or 91.2%,
increase in data processing, and a $103,000, or 6.3%, increase in
other operating expense.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits was due
primarily to an increase in staffing levels to support the
overall growth and branch structure of the Bank, normal merit
increases, and an increase in health insurance costs and other
employee benefits. From June 2003 to June 2004, the Company
increased its staffing complement by approximately 23 full-time
equivalent employees, including approximately nineteen employees
who were added in the purchase of two Ohio branch offices from
Ameriana Bank and Trust in September 2003. The increase in
occupancy and equipment expense primarily reflects increased
depreciation and maintenance costs associated with the Company's
new and acquired branch offices, in accordance with the Company's
ongoing commitment to expand its

continued growth in loan and deposit accounts, as well as
expenses related to the conversion of systems for the accounts
acquired from Ameriana and Kenwood and the overall costs
associated with a full data conversion to a new core processor in
June 2004. The increase in franchise taxes reflects the continued

related to maintaining real estate acquired through foreclosure,
and an increase in other operating costs associated with the
Company's overall growth year to year.

During January 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $1.2 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $250,000, or
17.8%, compared to the $1.4 million provision recorded in the
same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in pre-tax earnings of $729,000, or 17.6%. The
Company's effective tax rates were 34.0% for both of the nine-

operating results in terms of historical dollars, without
considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to
inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Bank's
assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than does the effect of
inflation.


Forward-Looking Statements
__________________________

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs
of management as well as assumptions made by and information
currently available to management. In addition, in those and
other portions of this document, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "should" and similar
expressions, or the negative thereof, as they relate to the
Company or the Company's management, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current
views of the Company with respect to future looking events and
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
vary from those described herein as anticipated, believed,
estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to
update these forward-looking statements.
