For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, stock options covering 49,200 and 60,700 shares of common stock were not considered in computing earnings per share, as they were antidilutive.
Note 6: Stock Options
The Company accounts for its stock option plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (thousands, except per share amounts):

Independent Accountants Report
Board of Directors
NB&T Financial Group, Inc.
Wilmington, Ohio
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of NB&T Financial Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2003 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 5, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $1.59 million, a decrease of $308,000, or 16.2%, from the second quarter of 2002 net income of $1.90 million. Net income per share-basic was $.51 for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $.62 per share for the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of 17.7%. Return on average equity and return on average assets for the second quarter of 2003 were 10.94% and 0.92%, respectively, compared to 14.83% and 1.13% for the same period in 2002. Net income for the first six months of 2003 was $3.23 million, a decrease of $210,000, or 6.1%, from the first six months of 2002 net income of $3.44 million. Net income per share-basic was $1.03 for the first six months of 2003, compared to $1.11 per share for the first six months of 2002, a decrease of 7.2%. Return on average equity and return on average assets for the first six months of 2003 were 11.21% and 0.94%, respectively, compared to 13.50% and 1.02% for the same period in 2002.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $5.39 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $11.0 million for the first six months of 2003, a decrease of $646,000 and $683,000 respectively, compared to the same periods last year. Interest income totaled $8.93 million for the second quarter of 2003, a decrease of 14% from $10.38 million during the same period last year. Interest income for the first six months of 2003 totaled $18.18 million, a decrease of 12.7% from $20.81 million during the same period last year. Although average loans and securities outstanding for the second quarter and the first six months increased 3.64% and 3.01%, compared to the prior year, the effect of the decline in their average yields exceeded the effect of those gains. The yield on average loans decreased from 7.63% in the second quarter of 2002 to 6.70% in the second quarter of 2003 while the yield on average loans decreased from 7.70% for the first six months of 2002 to 6.88% for the same period in 2003. The tax-equivalent yield on average securities decreased from 5.70% for the second quarter last year to 4.13% for the second quarter of this year, and the tax-equivalent yield on average securities decreased from 5.71% for the first six months of 2002 to 4.35% for the same period this year. A decrease in interest expense of 18.7% to $3.53 million during the second quarter of 2003 from $4.34 million during the same period last year offset most of the decrease in the second quarters interest income. Similarly, a decrease in interest expense of 21.4% to $7.18 million during the first six months of 2003 from $9.13 million during the same period last year offset most of the decrease in year-to-date interest income. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter increased 3.07% from last year to $584 million, and their cost decreased from 3.07% during the second quarter of last year to 2.43% in the second quarter of this year. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2003 decreased .22% from last year to $578.4 million, and their cost decreased from 3.18% to 2.50%. Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.47% for the second quarter of this year from 4.06% for the second quarter of last year while the tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.60% for the first six months of 2003 from 3.92% for the same period last year.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for credit losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents managements assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in the Banks loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. The provision for loan losses increased 2.6% to $487,000 during the second quarter of 2003 from $475,000 during the second quarter of last year. For the first six months of 2003, the provision increased 20.9% to $1.03 million from $850,000 for the same period last year. The higher provision for loan losses for 2003 was attributable to an increase in net charge-offs and managements evaluation of the loan portfolio and potential weaknesses of specific loans. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2003 were $979,000, or 0.50% (annualized), compared to $854,000, or 0.45% (annualized), for the same period in 2002.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, was $2.30 million for the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 1.1% over the $2.27 million earned in the second quarter of 2002. Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, was $4.36 million for the first six months of 2003, and increase of 3.1% over the $4.23 million in the same period in 2002. Service charges and fees increased 47.6% from the second quarter last year and 42.7% due to increases in overdraft fees and debit card revenue. In August 2002, the Company introduced the Overdraft Honor program that aids customers by paying more and returning fewer overdraft checks. Insurance agency commissions increased 18.2% in the second quarter of 2003 and 13.5% in the first six months of 2003, compared to the same periods last year, due to increased sales of annuity products. These revenue increases were partially offset by
10
decreases in Trust and ATM network fees and income from bank-owned life insurance. Trust income decreased 4.7% from the second quarter of last year and 10.9% from the first six months of last year as a result of market value decreases in the accounts managed. ATM network fees decreased 24.5% from the second quarter of last year and 28.2% from the first six months of last year as a result of fewer units in operation during 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. Other income decreased primarily due to a decrease in BOLI income of $258,000 from 2002 to 2003 as a result of a death benefit claim made in May 2002.
The Company had $361,000 in securities gains in the second quarter of 2003, resulting from the sale of $15.6 million in mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency notes. Security gains for the first six months of 2003 totaled $907,000, resulting from the sale of $34.5 million in mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency notes.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $5.52 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $5.53 million for the second quarter of 2002. Other expense declined $239,000 in the second quarter from the same quarter last year due to write-off of assets primarily related to the Insurance Agency in 2002. For the first six months of 2003, non-interest expense was $11.2 million, compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2002. The increase occurred primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits expense. The average number of full-time equivalent employees has increased to 272 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 264 for the same period in 2002. In addition, health care and retirement benefit expenses, including the 401k and employee stock ownership plans, were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period last year.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2003 was $461,000, compared to $439,000 for the same period in 2002. The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2003 was $810,000, compared to $857,000 for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2003 was 22.4% and 20.1%, respectively, compared to 18.8% and 20% for the same periods in 2002.

(a) | Includes loans held for sale |
At June 30, 2003, total assets were $691.5 million, an increase of $26.7 million from December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the loan portfolio of $18.5 million and the securities portfolio of $4.9 million. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased $3.2 million. The asset growth was funded by a combination of an increase in deposits, repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Deposits increased $2.5 million primarily in the corporate money market accounts. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $18.3 million during the year to fund the increase in the securities portfolio. Stockholders equity increased $1.5 million during the year to $58.8 million due to an increase in retained earnings for the quarter
11
partially offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income of $596,000 due to a change in market value of securities available for sale.
Average total assets increased 3.5% to $695.2 million from the second quarter of 2002. Average total loans increased to $398.0 million, an increase of 3.5% from the same quarter of last year. The commercial loan average grew $9.1 million, an increase of 5.2%, and the personal loan average grew $7.8 million, an increase of 10.7%. Commercial and industrial lending to small to mid-sized companies continues to be an area of growth for the Company, and the Bank has increased its efforts to originate automobile loans through its dealer network. Real estate loans declined $3.5 million, a decrease of 2.5%, due to increased customer refinancing. The securities portfolio average has increased $9.1 million from the second quarter of 2002 to $238.4 million. During the first six months of 2003, the Company has purchased $121.3 million in agency notes and mortgage-backed securities, $30.0 million of which was leveraged with $20 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. In that same time period, $34.5 million in securities were sold at a gain of $907,000, $49 million in bonds were called and approximately $26.7 million in payments on mortgage-backed securities were received.
Average total deposits remained relatively unchanged at $476.8 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared to an average of $476.5 million for the same quarter last year. Average small certificates of deposit decreased $11.9 million, or 6.9%, as the Company reduced its cost of funds and customers continued to seek out higher rates of return. Average short-term borrowings declined $3.3 million or 12.8% from the second quarter of 2002 due to decreased public fund balances in repurchase agreements. Average Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased $13.3 million, or 11.7%, due to the Company leveraging security purchases in the first quarter with an additional $20 million in fixed-rate advances. Average long-term debt increased $7.5 million from the second quarter of 2002, primarily due to the issuance of $8.0 million of trust preferred debt in the second quarter of 2002.

The allowance is maintained to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Managements determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based on reviews of specific loans, loan loss experience, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors. If, as a result of charge-offs or increases in risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, the reserve is below the level considered by management to be adequate to absorb possible future loan losses, the provision for loan losses is increased. Loans deemed not collectible are charged off and deducted from the reserve. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the reserve.
The Company allocates the allowance for loan losses to specifically classified loans and non-classified loans generally based on three-year net charge-off history. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers three principal factors: (1) the three-year rolling average charge-off percentage applied to the current outstanding balance by portfolio type; (2) specific percentage applied to individual loans estimated by management to have a potential loss; and (3) estimated losses attributable to economic conditions. Economic conditions considered include unemployment levels, the condition of the agricultural business, and other local economic factors.
As of June 30, 2003, there were $4.1 million in twenty-two non-accrual small business relationships. The majority of this amount consisted of two relationships, one of which is $1.3 million in the nursing home business and has been making monthly payments since January 2002 following the signing of a forbearance agreement. The second relationship amounts to $1.1 million and is in the hotel business.
Non-accrual residential real estate loans consisted of twenty-five loans that total $1.7 million with the largest balance being $185,319. Non-accrual personal loans consisted of eleven loans that total $161,591, and home equity credit lines consisted of 8 loans totaling $317,145.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as Company cash needs, are met. The Company manages liquidity on both the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet. The loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2003, was 85.7%, compared to 82.1% at the same date in 2002. Loans to total assets were 58.3% at the end of the second quarter of 2003, compared to 57.3% at the same time last year. Management strives to keep this ratio below 70%. Of the total securities portfolio, 82.3% consists of available-for-sale securities that are readily marketable. Approximately 79.7% of the available-for-sale portfolio is pledged to secure public deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings and for other purposes as required by law. The balance of the available-for-sale securities could be sold if necessary for liquidity purposes. Also, a stable deposit base, consisting of 91.1% core deposits, makes the Company less susceptible to large fluctuations in funding needs. The Company has short-term borrowing lines of credit with several correspondent banks. The Company also has both short- and long-term borrowing available through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Company has the ability to obtain deposits in the brokered certificate of deposit market to help provide liquidity to fund loan growth.
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines that assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). Bank holding companies must maintain total
13
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 3%, respectively. At June 30, 2003, NB&T Financial Group, Inc. had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.43%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.49%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.41%.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Companys significant accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, or complex.
Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect managements estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, collateral values, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.
The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and historical loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for loan losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loans observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loans effective interest rate.
Regardless of the extent of the Companys analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customers financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Companys evaluation of risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment.
Goodwill and Other IntangiblesThe Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition.
Effect of Recent Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued by the FASB in August 2001. The FASB focuses on accounting for closure costs for certain assets that cannot be simply abandoned or disposed of at the end of their useful lives. This statement had no impact on the financial statements when it became effective in 2003.

Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, equity price risk and commodity price risk. The Company does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, and is not currently subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, equity price risk or commodity price risk. The Companys market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
Techniques used to measure interest rate risk include both interest rate gap management and simulation modeling that measures the effect of rate changes on net interest income and market value of equity under different rate scenarios. At March 31, 2003, the Companys simulation model indicated the twelve-month cumulative gap as a percent of total assets was a positive 6.6%, compared to a positive 15.6% at December 31, 2002. Also, similar to the results at year- end, March 31, 2003 results indicate a decreasing yield on interest-earning assets, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and net interest margin. This position could have a negative effect on projected net interest income over the next twelve months. Currently, the Company is in the process of updating its simulation model as of June 30, 2003. Based on preliminary information, however, the Company does not believe that its market risk changed significantly between March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based upon their evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2003. There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
