NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six and three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
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 condition, 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. (" the Company") included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004. 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 six and three-month periods ended March
31, 2005 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, 2004 has been
derived from the audited statement of financial condition of the
Company as of that date.
2. Business Combinations
---------------------
On May 4, 2005 the Company entered into a definitive agreement and
plan of merger whereby the Company will acquire PFS Bancorp, Inc
("PFS"), the parent company of Peoples Federal Savings Bank ("Peoples
Federal"). Peoples Federal operates three offices in the Southeast
Indiana communities of Aurora, Rising Sun, and Vevay, offering a wide
range of bank products and services. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company will pay $23.00 in cash for each of the outstanding common
shares of PFS, resulting in aggregate merger consideration of
approximately $33.8 million. The merger is expected to be consummated
in our first fiscal quarter of 2006, pending approval by PFS
shareholders, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary
conditions of closing. This transaction will be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting.
On January 14, 2005 the Company completed its previously announced
stock purchase agreement with various stockholders of Columbia
Bancorp, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, a closely held bank holding company,
and acquired 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. As a
result, the Company became a bank holding company subject to the
requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and is no longer
a savings and loan holding company subject to the requirements of the
Home Owners' Loan Act. The Company does not anticipate any
significant changes to its operations as a result of this transaction.
The investment in Columbia is recorded as an unconsolidated subsidiary
using the equity method of accounting.
On December 17, 2004 the Company entered into a definitive agreement
and plan of merger whereby the Company will acquire American State
Corporation, the parent company of American State Bank ("American").
American operates three offices in the Southeast Indiana communities
of Lawrenceburg, Aurora and Bright, offering a wide range of bank
products and services.. Under the terms of the agreement, Peoples will
pay $4.79 in cash for each of the 1,469,062 outstanding common shares
of American. Based upon the outcome of certain specific events, common
shareholders may receive up to an additional $.82 per share.
American's outstanding preferred stock will be redeemed for cash at
par value, totaling $700,000. This merger is expected to be
consummated in the third fiscal quarter of 2005 pending regulatory
approval and other customary conditions of closing. This transaction
will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
3. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
-----------------------------
In March 2005, the Company purchased 40,000 shares of Peoples
Community Bancorp, Inc. stock for its Employee Stock Ownership Plan at
a weighted average price of $24.05 per share utilizing borrowings from
Peoples Community Bancorp, Inc. totaling $962,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the six and three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
4. Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and Peoples Community Bank ("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.
5. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average shares
outstanding during the period, less 70,975 and 19,040 unallocated ESOP
shares as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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:
For the six months ended For the three months ended

Weighted-average common shares
outstanding (diluted) 3,899,342 2,532,599 3,898,939 2,533,118
========= ========= ========= =========
Options to purchase 26,391 shares of common stock at a weighted-
average exercise price of $23.22 were outstanding at March 31, 2004,
but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share
for the six and three month periods because the exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common shares.
6. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
-------------------------------------------
There were no recent accounting pronouncements or developments through
March 31, 2005 that would have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
7. 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 March 31, 2005, the Company had granted options for 167,398
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 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.
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 recognized related to options for the six month
periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $93,000 and $94,000,
respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the six and three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
7. 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 and 2003:
dividend yield of 2.5% for 2004 and no dividend yield for 2003;
expected volatility of 26.6% and 21.4%, respectively; a risk-free
interest rate of 4.6% and 3.6%, respectively, and an expected life of
ten years for all grants.
A summary of the status of the Plan for the six months ended March 31,
2005 and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, is
presented below:

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the 2004
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 March 31, 2005:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
- -------
The Company'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 average balances of the associated assets
and liabilities. The Company'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.
The Company'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 individual 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 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 of the Bank (which is the
Company's reporting unit as defined under SFAS No. 142) and comparing
the fair value of this 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, 2004 to
March 31, 2005
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
At March 31, 2005, the Company's assets totaled $910.2 million, an
increase of $21.1 million, or 2.4%, compared to September 30, 2004.
The increase in assets was comprised primarily of a $36.7 million, or
6.1% increase in loans receivable, which was partially offset by a
$25.2 million or 11.1% decrease in mortgage-backed securities during
the period. Proceeds from the sale and repayments of mortgage-backed
securities totaling $68.6 million were utilized to fund loan
originations and to repay advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Deposits increased by $39.7 million, or 8.4%, while advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $18.5 million, or 5.7%
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.0 million or 20.9% over
September 30, 2004 levels, to a total of $17.4 million at March 31,
2005. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $202.9 million at March 31,
2005, a decrease of $25.2 million, or 11.1%, compared to September 30,
2004. Sales of $37.3 million and repayments totaling $31.2 million
were partially offset by purchases of $43.8 million in mortgage-backed
securities during the period. The sales of mortgage-backed securities
during the period were predicated on favorable market conditions.
Loans receivable totaled $636.2 million at March 31, 2005, an increase
of $36.7 million, or 6.1%, over the September 30, 2004 levels. Loan
disbursements totaling $127.9 million during the six-month period ended
March 31, 2005 were partially offset by principal repayments of $89.4
million and sales of loans in the secondary market totaling $3.5 million.
The Company's volume of loan disbursements increased by $10.4 million, or
8.8%,

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
compared to the loan origination volume in the six month period ended
March 31, 2004, due primarily to the current interest rate
environment and increased draws on construction loans. Loan
disbursements were comprised of $36.3 million of loans secured by one-
to-four-family residential real estate including $8.1 million in
construction loan draws, $20.5 million of loans secured by multi-
family real estate, including $2.6 million in construction loan draws,
$46.7 million of loans secured by commercial real estate and land,
including $10.5 million in construction loan draws and $24.4 million
in commercial lines of credit and other loans.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $11.9 million at March 31, 2005,
compared to $11.0 million at September 30, 2004. Due primarily to a
continuing change in the composition and the relative credit risk of
the loan portfolio, as well as an increase in internally classified
loans, $1.8 million was added to the allowance through the provision
for losses on loans during the six months ended March 31, 2005, while
approximately $936,000 of loans were charged-off during the same
period. The charged-off loans were comprised of $118,000 in loans
secured by one-to-four-family residential real estate, and $818,000 in
loans secured by multi-family residential real estate. The $818,000
charge-off on the multi-family residential real estate property
resulted from a new appraisal obtained on a property which was
subsequently acquired through foreclosure during the period.
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.
Nonaccruing loans totaled $4.8 million and $6.0 million at March 31,
2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively or .8% and 1.2%,
respectively, of net loans at such dates. Nonaccruing loans at March
31, 2005 consisted of approximately $2.4 million of one-to-four-family
residential loans, $2.0 million in multi-family residential loans,
$250,000 in loans secured by commercial real estate and land and
$148,000 in commercial and consumer loans.
The Bank's classified loans increased by $7.6 million, or 59.4%, to a
total of $20.5 million at March 31, 2005, compared to $12.9 million at
September 30, 2004. Loans classified as special mention decreased by
$1.6 million to a total of $2.7 million at March 31, 2005, loans
classified as substandard increased by $8.9 million to a total of
$16.6 million at March 31,2005, while loans classified as loss
increased by $371,000 to a total of $1.2 million at March 31, 2005.
Classified one-to-four family and multi-family residential real estate
loans increased by $4.5 million primarily due to cash flow
difficulties with borrowers on non-owner occupied properties.
Classified non-residential real estate and land loans increased by
$2.5 million during the period primarily due to financial problems of
a builder and developer of existing properties for re-sale. This
borrower has obtained additional financial stability through a
partnership with another investor and has restructured a portion of
the borrowings with the Company. Classified commercial and other
loans increased $629,000 due primarily to borrowers experiencing
business cash flow difficulties. As of the date of this report, it is
management's belief that the nonaccruing and classified loans are
adequately reserved and no material unreserved losses are presently
anticipated on these loans.
The allowance for loan losses represented 1.62% and 1.64% of total
loans at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The
allowance for loan losses represented 247.2% and 182.9% of
nonperforming loans as of March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
respectively. Although management believes that the allowance for
loan losses at March 31, 2005 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 $512.2 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of
$39.7 million, or 8.4%, over September 30, 2004 levels. The increase
in deposits was due primarily to management's continuing focus on
deposit growth through marketing and pricing strategies and the
addition of one new branch location during the period.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings totaled
$306.0 million at March 31, 2005, a decrease of $18.5 million, or
5.7%, compared to September 30, 2004 totals. Proceeds from the sales
and repayments of mortgage-backed securities, as discussed earlier,
were partially utilized to pay down advances during the period.
Stockholders' equity totaled $75.1 million, or 8.3% of total assets,
at March 31, 2005, a decrease of $657,000, or .9%, from September 30,
2004 levels. The decline resulted primarily from dividends paid of
$1.2 million, the purchase of shares for the Company's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan totaling $962,000 and a $254,000 decrease attributable
to the change in unrealized losses on available for sale securities,
which were partially offset by net earnings of $1.5 million and the
expense amortization effects of the stock benefit and option plans
totaling $197,000. The Bank is required to meet minimum capital
standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). At
March 31, 2005, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded each of the
minimum capital requirements.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
Net earnings amounted to $594,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2005, a decrease of $69,000, or 10.4%, compared to the $663,000 of net
earnings reported for the same period in 2004. The decrease in
earnings resulted primarily from a $417,000 or 12.2% increase in
general administrative and other expenses, which was partially offset
by a $168,000 or 3.3% increase in net interest income, a $136,000 or
67.7% increase in other income and a $44,000 or 12.9% decrease in
federal income taxes.
Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Interest income on loans increased by $1.5 million, or 18.0% during
the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, compared to the 2004
period, due primarily to a $57.2 million, or 9.9%, increase in the
average portfolio balance outstanding, coupled with a 44 basis point
increase in the weighted-average yield, to 6.32% for the 2005 period.
The increase in the average balance was due primarily to the Company's
strong loan origination volume during the quarter. The increase in
yield reflects a moderate upward shift in market rates and the
corresponding impact on adjustable-rate loans as well as new
originations in higher yielding loan products.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $260,000,
or 18.4% during the 2005 quarter compared to the same period in 2004,
due primarily to a $19.5 million, or 9.2%, decrease in the average
balance outstanding, coupled with a 27 basis point decrease in the
weighted-average yield, to 2.38% in the 2005 period. The decrease in
the average balance outstanding was due primarily to a higher level of
principal repayments period to period and the sales of mortgage-backed
securities in the first fiscal quarter of 2005 due to favorable market
conditions. However. management also purchased $22.4 million of
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities during the three months
ended March 31, 2005, in an effort to manage liquidity and interest
rate risk, as well as to provide interest income with minimal credit
risk, due to the direct or implicit guaranty of government-sponsored
agencies.

March 31, 2005 and 2004 (continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net Interest Income (continued)
- -------------------
Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits
and other increased by $25,000, or 18.5%, due primarily to a 39 basis
point increase in the weighted-average yield, coupled with an increase
of approximately $1.0 million, or 6.4%, in the average balance
outstanding for the 2005 period. The increase in the weighted-average
yield was due to an increase in interest rates available on these
types of investments period to period.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $651,000, or 23.0%, due
primarily to a 32 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of
deposits, to 2.86% and an increase of $42.4 million or 9.5%, in the
average balance of deposits outstanding period to period. These
increases are the result of management's marketing efforts and pricing
strategies implemented to be competitive and to promote deposit
growth. Interest expense on borrowings increased by $473,000, or
22.7%, due primarily to an 82 basis point increase in the average cost
of borrowings, to 3.32% for the 2005 period, which was partially
offset by a $25.2 million, or 7.6%, decrease in the average balance of
borrowings outstanding period to period. Proceeds from deposit growth
and mortgage-backed securities sales and repayments were partially
utilized to repay borrowings. The increase in the average cost of
borrowings was due primarily to the increase in the interest rate
environment and its effect on the Company's overnight advances during
the 2005 period.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $168,000, or 3.3%, to a
total of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
compared to the same period in 2004. The interest rate spread
decreased to 2.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from
2.45% for the comparable 2004 period, while the net interest margin
decreased to 2.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared
to 2.54% for the same period in 2004.
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 for each of the three-month periods ended March 31,
2005 and 2004. The provision recorded during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2005 was predicated primarily upon the change in the
Bank's loan portfolio mix taking into account the increase in loans
secured by nonresidential real estate and land, unsecured commercial
lines of credit and consumer loans as well as an increase in both the
overall loan portfolio and the level of the Bank's classified assets
period to period. 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 the loan portfolio in the future.

Other Income
- ------------
Other income totaled $337,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2005, an increase of $136,000, or 67.7%, compared to the $201,000
recorded for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due
to $47,000 in income from the Company's equity investment in Columbia
Bancorp, Inc., an $84,000 or 49.1% increase in other operating income
and a $9,000 gain recorded on the sale of real estate acquired through
foreclosure. 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.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
- -----------------------------------------
General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $417,000, or 12.2%,
compared to the same period in 2004. This increase resulted primarily
from an increase of $222,000, or 12.0%, in employee compensation and
benefits, an increase of $115,000, or 21.9%, in occupancy and
equipment, and an increase of $124,000, or 20.2% in other operating
expense, which were partially offset by a $44,000 or 17.5% decrease in
data processing 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 number of
employees has increased from 130 to 144, or 10.8% from March 31, 2004
to March 31, 2005. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense
primarily reflects costs associated with software and technology
upgrades and increased depreciation and maintenance costs associated
with the Company's new branch offices. The increase in other operating
expense was due primarily to an increase in costs related to
maintaining real estate acquired through foreclosure, increased costs
for maintaining compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act
and other operating costs associated with the Company's overall growth
year to year. The decrease in data processing expense reflects lower
base costs associated with changing to a new core processor, which was
partially offset by an increase in transaction volume and services
offered quarter to quarter.
Federal Income Taxes
- --------------------
The provision for federal income taxes totaled $297,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, a decrease of $44,000, or 12.9%, compared
to the $341,000 provision recorded in the same period in 2004. This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings of
$113,000, or 11.3%. The Company's effective tax rate was 33.3% and
34.0% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

Net earnings amounted to $1.5 million for the six months ended March
31, 2005, an increase of $31,000, or 2.1%, compared to net earnings
reported for the same period in 2004. The increase in earnings
resulted primarily from a $714,000 or 119.8% increase in other income
and a $334,000 or 3.3% increase in net interest income, which was
partially offset by a $1.1 million or 15.1% increase in general
administrative and other expenses.
Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Interest income on loans increased by $2.4 million, or 14.2% during
the six-month period ended March 31, 2005, compared to the 2004
period, due primarily to a $52.8 million, or 9.2%, increase in the
average portfolio balance outstanding, coupled with a 27 basis point
increase in the weighted-average yield, to 6.22% for the 2005 period.
The increase in the average balance was due primarily to the Company's
steady loan origination volume. The increase in yield reflects a
moderate upward shift in market rates and the corresponding impact on
adjustable-rate loans as well as new originations in higher yielding
loan products.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $246,000,
or 9.4% during the six-month period, due primarily to a 27 basis point
decrease in the weighted-average yield, to 2.41% in the 2005 period,
which was partially offset by a $1.7 million, or .9%, increase in the
average balance outstanding. Management purchased $43.8 million of
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended
March 31, 2005, in an effort to manage liquidity and interest rate
risk, as well as to provide interest income with minimal credit risk,
due to the direct or implicit guaranty of government-sponsored

Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits
and other increased by $43,000, or 15.9%, due primarily to a 36 basis
point increase in the weighted-average yield, coupled with an increase
of approximately $833,000, or 5.2%, in the average balance outstanding
for the fiscal 2005 period. The increase in the weighted-average
yield was due to an increase in interest rates available on these
types of investments period to period.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.0 million, or 17.9%, due
primarily to a 23 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of
deposits, to 2.78% and an increase of $34.7 million or 7.8%, in the
average balance of deposits outstanding period to period. These
increases are the result of management's marketing efforts and pricing
strategies implemented to be competitive and promote deposit growth.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $863,000, or 21.1%, due
primarily to a 57 basis point increase in the average cost of
borrowings, to 3.20% for the 2005 period, which was partially offset
by a $1.4 million, or .5%, decrease in the average balance of
borrowings outstanding period to period. Proceeds from deposit growth
and mortgage-backed security sales and repayments were partially
utilized to repay borrowings. The increase in the average cost of
borrowings was due primarily to the increase in the interest rate
environment and its effect on the Company's overnight advances during
the fiscal 2005 period.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $334,000, or 3.3%, to a

Other income totaled $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31,
2005, an increase of $714,000, or 119.8%, compared to the $596,000
recorded for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due
to gains recorded on sales of mortgage-backed securities totaling
$724,000 in the current period, a $130,000 or 37.1% increase in other
operating income, a $10,000 or 25.0% increase in gains on sales of
loans in the secondary market and income from the Company's equity
investment in Columbia Bancorp, Inc., totaling $47,000 for the period,
which were partially offset by the absence of a $206,000 gain on sale
of real estate recorded in the same period in 2004. The gain on sale
of mortgage-backed securities in the 2005 period resulted from the
sale of $37.3 million of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities,
while 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.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
- -----------------------------------------
General, administrative and other expense totaled $7.7 million for the
six months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $1.0 million, or
15.1%, compared to the same period in 2004. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase of $405,000, or 11.1%, in employee
compensation and benefits, an increase of $301,000, or 30.2%, in
occupancy and equipment, and an increase of $297,000, or 24.9% in
other operating expense and an $11,000 or 2.2% increase in data
processing 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 number of
employees has increased from 130 to 144, or 10.8% from March 31, 2004
to March 31, 2005. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense
primarily reflects costs associated with software and technology
upgrades, including the purchase of a new asset and liability
management product and increased depreciation and maintenance costs
associated with the Company's new branch offices. The increase in
other operating expense was due primarily to an increase in costs
related to maintaining real estate acquired through foreclosure,
increased costs for maintaining compliance with section 404 of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act and other operating costs associated with the
Company's overall growth year to year. The increase in data
processing expense is due to additional costs associated with the
conversion to a new core processor and providing internet banking to
the Company's customers, which were partially offset by reduced base
costs of the core processing in the current period.
Federal Income Taxes
- --------------------
The provision for federal income taxes totaled $779,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $7,000, or .9%, compared
to the $772,000 provision recorded in the same period in 2004. This
increase was primarily due to a increase in pre-tax earnings of
$38,000, or 1.7%. The Company's effective tax rate was 33.8% and
34.0% for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ---------------------------------------
The financial statements and related financial data presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, which
require the measurement of financial position and 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
- --------------------------
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical facts
and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21
A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are
beyond our control), may be identified by reference to a future
period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such
as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate,"
"continue" or similar terms or variation's on those terms or the
negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to
various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially
from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to,
changes in general economic conditions, interest rates, deposit
flows, loan demand, competition, legislation or regulation and
accounting principles, policies or guidelines, as well as other
economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological
factors affecting our operations. In addition, acquisitions may
result in large one-time charges to income, may not produce revenue
enhancements or cost savings at levels or within time frames
originally anticipated and may result in unforeseen integration
difficulties. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any
obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may
be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence
of events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
