  A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

During 2003 CSB Bancorp generated net earnings of $2,060,000 that were 7% greater than 2002, increased its declared cash dividends by 60%, lowered its non-interest expenses by over 10% and saw its stock price rise 5.9%!

While these results represent progress, there is still room for improvement.

We had a year that, based on industry performance standards, met some objectives, exceeded others and significantly missed certain critical benchmarks to which we aspired. During the year, with the exception of our Chief Financial Officer, we completely replaced the executive management of the bank. In an industry and a year where all around us there were consolidations, start-ups, acquisitions, loan sales, new branch offices in new markets, stock offerings and buy backs we did none of this in order to concentrate on our core business.

“We have set targets that are
more reflective of our industry
peers and I want you to know
what these targets are.”

We believe these efforts have positioned us for improved performance over the foreseeable future. In the rest of this letter I would like to review our accomplishments of 2003 and share our goals and strategies for 2004 and beyond.

As you undoubtedly know, CSB has undergone three years of change and restructuring. That period is officially closed. We have set targets that are more reflective of our industry peers and I want you to know what these targets are.

These strategies are the result of the efforts of the directors, executive officers and associates of CSB Bancorp and The Commercial and Savings Bank. We have assembled a very honest and focused group of experienced professionals, who day in and day out, manage your company in a manner that you will be proud of.

2003 Financial Performance

Financial performance improved throughout the year.

Net income of $2,060,000 for 2003 was up over 2002 net of $1,923,000. This is a 7% increase. Likewise, our earnings per share of $0.78 beat 2002 per share performance of $0.73, also a 7% improvement. While these are important improvements, there were several items associated with the bank’s restructuring activities that impacted our performance.

In the first quarter bank management chose to lower the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) by $51,000. This was motivated by a review of specific loss reserves that had been assigned to individual problem credits. One particular credit was paid off and the specific reserve allocation was eliminated. Rather than leave the funds in the reserve, management lowered the reserve and increased income.

In addition, it is important to note that CSB incurred special one-time charges in 2003 of approximately $400,000 on a pre-tax basis, which included severance payments to the former CEO as well as costs associated with replacing several former CSB executives.

From a shareholder perspective, this is an important series of events. These are one-time costs and should not reappear in 2004.

Operating Targets

In its purest form, banking is a simple business. You attract depositors with interest rates they are willing to accept. You then turn around and employ those deposits in loans or other investments, hopefully at a higher rate. The difference between what you earned from the loans and investments, and what you paid on deposits, less any funds you put in your Loan Loss Reserve (a savings account for good loans that may not be collected in full), is called the Net Interest Margin (NII) and can be expressed in either a dollar or percent format.

To this result you add noninterest income (NII), subtract noninterest expense (NIE) and the result is pre-tax net income. Deduct taxes and you have net profit after tax (NPAT).

The financial services industry, from a net income point of view, historically holds two ratios in high regard – Return on Assets (ROA) which measures our NPAT divided by our average assets, and Return on Equity (ROE) which takes those same earnings and divides them by our shareholder equity.

“we do not seek to be
average but desire to
prudently exceed our peers.”

I apologize if this is too simplistic, but I want to stress that in a number of areas we are returning to basics. CSB has set 2004 operating targets that more closely mirror the standards of our industry, with acceptable levels of “stretch” performance built in. In other words, we do not seek to be average but desire to prudently exceed our peers.

CSB’s net interest margin, measured by dollars increased $550,000 in 2003 versus 2002. This is a critical number as it represents management’s ability to profitably price its loans, purchase investments and pay deposit rates. On a percentage basis our NIM increased from 3.73% to 3.81%, 2002 to 2003. This too is a positive trend.

Candidly speaking, throughout the banking industry this ratio is under severe pressure. Both nationally and locally, interest rates (from both a borrower and depositor perspective) are at 40-year lows. Our challenge is to make sound loans that are priced fairly, invest excess funds in securities that provide minimal risk, yet pay depositors interest rates that are attractive and simultaneously market competitive.

Competition for both deposits and loans is becoming more intense as additional financial service providers enter our markets or existing companies adopt more aggressive pricing philosophies. We welcome good competition as it mandates that we perform at higher levels. We will selectively choose, however, to not respond to foolish competition that is driven by market share acquisition or the sacrifice of prudent credit risk.

You will find elsewhere in this annual report a page that defines key operating ratios. For 2004 we have put plans in place to exit the year with performance levels that approach these ratios. We have work to do and are committed to ultimately exceeding all of these targets.

2004 Marketplace Outlook

We expect modest economic growth in our marketplace. Our three main industries – tourism, lumber and agriculture – have different drivers for their individual growth while sharing a common dependence on weather. In conversations with leaders in each of these areas we are confident that all impact items have been identified and not left to chance.

We expect interest rates to remain relatively unchanged for the first half of the year with small increases occurring in both the third and fourth quarters. We have budgeted accordingly.

Our industry continues to experience “institutional dichotomy.” On one hand there are aggressive acquisitions, mergers and consolidations while simultaneously we observe the creation and expansion of new banks and financial service providers. Our conclusion is that customers, both commercial and consumer, desire locally managed financial service providers. We support this concept and our strategies will mirror this desire.

I am confident that 2004 will be a positive year for our marketplace and our company.

Management Culture

Your company has undergone virtually a complete change in its executive management. We share common principles, philosophies and goals that reflect the high ethical standards of our marketplace.

We will not compromise the company or ourselves. Performance to sound industry standards, not short-term financial spikes, will drive our financial decisions and resulting performance. We value the individual contributions of each of our associates and seek to maximize their skills through additional training, education and exposure. We support the cultural diversity of our marketplace, and will actively reach out for opportunities to grow together.

“We too are shareholders and
will always act with the
value of the shareholder as
our first concern.”

I believe we have a blend of directors whose experiences and professional background will serve you well. Our management and associate personnel are equipped with the requisite skills to service the needs of our markets, while being also focused on a commitment to continuous enhancement of these skills.

We support the intense regulatory environment in which we operate. We recognize that regulation is an important part of our business and strive to be outstanding partners with the multiple regulatory agencies with whom we interface.

We too are shareholders and will always act with the value of the shareholder as our first concern.

In closing, I am thrilled to be part of the CSB Bancorp team! My wife Janice and I are most pleased to be back in the area and, as I write this letter, we are building a new home in Berlin Township, Holmes County.

I ask for your continued support of our company. Refer a friend who does not bank with us today. Call or visit me with any service issues you become aware of. If there is a particular service or product that we do not offer, let us know and we will attempt to satisfy that need.

As we move into our 125th year of serving our communities, my commitment to you is to provide the levels of leadership, performance and security that you deserve and expect!

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income totaled $2.1 million in 2003, an increase of $137,000, or 7.1%, from 2002. Net income per share was $0.78 and $0.73 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Return on average assets was 0.68% in 2003, as compared to 0.65% in 2002, and return on average shareholders’ equity was 6.00% in 2003 compared to 5.76% in 2002.

Net income for 2002 was $1.9 million or $0.73 per share, as compared to $1.1 million or $0.40 per share for 2001. This equated to a return on average assets of 0.65% in 2002 and 0.34% in 2001, while the return on average shareholders’ equity for the same periods was 5.76% and 3.32%.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the largest component of the Company’s net income and consists of the difference between income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Volumes, interest rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities affect net interest income.

Interest income for 2003 was $15.4 million, decreasing $1.3 million from $16.7 million in 2002. Interest and fees on loans was $12.5 million, a decrease of $186,000, or 1.5%, from 2002, attributable to the decreased yield on loans of 103 basis points in 2003 from 2002. Interest income on securities decreased $923,000, or 24.0%, to $2.9 million as compared to 2002 of $3.8 million, due primarily to the $6.2 million decrease in the average balance of tax-exempt securities in 2003 as compared to 2002 and the 147 basis points decrease in average yield on taxable securities from 2002 to 2003. Other interest income decreased $176,000 to $36,000 in 2003 compared to $212,000 in 2002, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average federal funds sold balance, from $13.1 million in 2002 to $3.6 million in 2003 and a decrease in the average yield from 1.61% in 2002 to 0.99% in 2003.

Interest income for 2002 was $16.7 million, decreasing $5.0 million from $21.7 million in 2001. Interest and fees on loans was $12.6 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 23.2%, from 2001, mostly attributable to the $5.5 million decrease in the average balance of loans and the decreased yield on loans of 184 basis points in 2002. Interest income on securities decreased $780,000, or 16.8%, to $3.8 million as compared to 2001 of $4.6 million, due primarily to the $10.4 million decrease in the average balance of securities in 2002 as compared to 2001. Other interest income decreased $350,000 to $212,000 in 2002 compared to $562,000 in 2001, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average federal funds sold balance, from $17.9 million in 2001 to $13.1 million in 2002 and a decrease in the average yield from 3.11% in 2001 to 1.61% in 2002.

Interest expense for 2003 was $4.6 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 28.4%, from 2002. The Company’s interest expense on deposits decreased $1.9 million in 2003, due primarily to the decrease in deposit interest rates during 2003, as cost of deposits decreased to 1.87% in 2003, compared to 2.78% in 2002 and the average balance of time deposits decreased $5.7 million, or 4.5%. Interest expense on other borrowings increased $79,000 due to the $5.0 million increase in average balance in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Interest expense for 2002 was $6.5 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 43.6%, from 2001. The Company’s interest expense on deposits decreased $5.0 million in 2002, due primarily to the decrease in deposit interest rates during 2002, as cost of deposits decreased to 2.78% in 2002, compared to 4.58% in 2001 and the average balance of time deposits decreased $33.1 million, or 20.7%. Interest expense on other borrowings decreased $51,000 due to the 96 basis point decrease in the cost of these funds in 2002 as compared to 2001.

Net interest income for 2003 increased by $550,000 to $10.8 million. The increase was attributed to an $8.4 million increase in average interest-earning assets and an 8 basis point increase in the net interest margin. Net interest income for 2001 was $10.2 million.

The following tables provide detailed analysis of changes in average balances, yields, and net interest income identifying that portion of the changes due to change in average volume versus that portion due to change in average rates.

Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses

During 2003, the Company reported a credit for loan losses of $51,000 compared to a credit for loan losses of $587,000 for 2002 and a provision for loan losses of $35,000 for 2001. The credits in 2003 and 2002 resulted from the resolution and payoff of certain large classified credits, as well as aggressive collection procedures and strong underwriting standards. These factors contributed to an improved charge-off experience rate which is a component of management’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses. The decrease in classified assets during 2003 includes an $18,000 decrease in impaired loans and a $551,000 decrease in loans on nonaccrual of interest offset by a $175,000 increase in loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest. As part of management’s aggressive collection efforts, the Bank incurred approximately $85,000 and $135,000 of external collection costs in 2003 and 2002, respectively, mostly representing legal and other professional fees. These costs are reported as noninterest expenses in the consolidated statement of income. See “Financial Condition – Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional discussion and information relative to the provision (credit) for loan losses.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income increased $118,000, or 5.8%, to $2.2 million in 2003. Increases over 2002 of $42,000 in trust services and $62,000 in gain on sale of loans, were partially offset by a $17,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts and a $114,000 decrease in gain on sale of securities. In addition, gains on sale of other real estate owned amounted to $115,000 in 2003, compared to a loss of $3,000 in 2002.

Total noninterest income increased $61,000, or 3.1%, to $2.0 million in 2002. Increases of $75,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, $86,000 in securities gains, and $64,000 in other income were partially offset by a $48,000 decrease in trust and financial services, and an $84,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expenses decreased $199,000, or 1.8%, during 2003. The largest component of noninterest expenses is salaries and employee benefits, which decreased $38,000 or 0.7% in 2003. The slight decrease relates to cost reduction efforts in officer salaries and a slight headcount reduction which more than offset the normal salary adjustments and rising costs of employee benefits. Professional and director fees increased $26,000, or 3.0%, to $894,000.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes amounted to $130,000 in 2003, compared to credits of $65,000 in 2002 and $537,000 in 2001. The provision in 2003, as compared to a credit in 2002 was the direct result of a $332,000 increase in income before income taxes and a $285,000 decrease in tax-exempt securities interest income. The credits in 2002 and 2001 resulted from a net loss before income taxes after consideration of nontaxable interest income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company were $306.2 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $304.7 million at December 31, 2002, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.5%. Net loans increased $13.7 million with the loan growth funded primarily by a $5.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $5.3 million decrease in securities. A $9.0 million increase in deposits was partially offset by a $5.9 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and a $2.6 million decrease in securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Securities

Total securities decreased $5.3 million, or 7.2%, from $73.1 million at year-end 2002 to $67.8 million at year-end 2003. Available-for-sale securities increased $6.3 million while held-to-maturity securities decreased $11.7 million. The securities portfolio at year-end 2003 consisted of U.S. Treasury, U.S. government corporations and agencies, obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate securities. Restricted securities primarily consists of FHLB stock.

Since one of the primary functions of the securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity, it is structured such that maturities and cash flows satisfy the Company’s liquidity needs and asset/liability management requirements.

Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, and include securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as available-for-sale include those that may be sold before maturity for liquidity, asset/liability management or other reasons.

  2003 FINANCIAL REVIEW

Loans

Total loans amounted to $213.3 million at year-end 2003, compared to $199.8 million at year-end 2002, representing an increase of $13.4 million or 6.7%. The loan portfolio at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was composed of approximately 58% commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company recorded a decrease of $1.3 million, or 1.8%, in commercial loans; an increase of $7.5 million, or 18%, in commercial real estate loans; a $7.3 million, or 11.1%, increase in residential real estate loans; a decrease of $132,000, or 1.1%, in installment and credit card loans; and an increase of $51,000 in construction loans.

The increase in commercial real estate loans was partially due to the Bank’s entering into several participation loan agreements with local and regional financial institutions. These loans are subject to the same underwriting standards as other commercial real estate loans in the Bank’s portfolio and were all performing at December 31, 2003.

Agriculture production loans totaled approximately $816,000 at year-end 2003, and are included in the commercial, commercial real estate and residential real estate categories. Credit card loans, which are primarily unsecured, totaled $2.5 million, or 1.2%, of loans at year-end 2003. Demand for commercial business loans, as well as both commercial and residential real estate loans, was stable in 2003. Management believes the Company’s local service areas will experience continued economic strength and a continued need for these types of lending products in 2004.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to cover loan losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, changes in mix and size of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. Management periodically reviews selected large loans, delinquent and other problem loans, and selected other loans. Collectibility of these loans is evaluated by considering current financial position and performance of the borrower, estimated market value of the collateral, the Company’s collateral position in relationship to other creditors, guarantees and other potential sources of repayment. Management forms judgments, which are subjective, as to the probability of loss and the amount of loss on these loans as well as other loans taken together. The Bank’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Policy includes, among other items, provisions for classified loans and a provision for the remainder of the portfolio and historical data, including past charge-offs.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.5 million or 1.15% of total loans at year-end 2003, down from $2.7 million or 1.35% of total loans at year-end 2002. Net charge-offs for 2003 totaled $191,000, compared to $732,000 in 2002 and $3.5 million in 2001. During the third and fourth quarters of 2002, the Company sold $1.3 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans that resulted in $494,000 of the charge-offs in 2002. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company sold $7.5 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans that resulted in $1.6 million of the charge-offs in 2001. For many of the other loans that have been charged-off, management is continuing collection efforts, and future recoveries may occur.

The Bank maintains an internal watch list, on which it places loans where management’s analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicates that the borrower’s cash flows are inadequate to meet its debt service requirements, and loans where there exists an increased risk that such a shortfall may occur.

Nonperforming loans, which consist of loans past due 90 days or more and nonaccrual loans aggregated $1.3 million or 0.6% of loans at year-end 2003 compared to $1.7 million or 0.9% of loans at year-end 2002. Impaired loans decreased at year-end from $916,000 in 2002 to $897,000 in 2003. Management has assigned loss allocations to absorb the estimated losses on these impaired loans, and these allocations are included in the total allowance for loan losses balance.

Other Assets

Net premises and equipment decreased $507,000 to $8.6 million at year-end 2003 from $9.1 million at year-end 2002. The decrease in 2003 was due to depreciation exceeding the relatively low volume of equipment purchases. Other assets, including accrued interest receivable, decreased $1.0 million to $1.8 million at year-end 2003 largely due to a $595,000 decrease in net tax assets and a $320,000 decrease in accrued interest receivable.

Deposits

Deposits are obtained from individuals and businesses located in the Bank’s market area. For deposits, the Bank must compete with products offered by other traditional financial institutions as well as other investment options such as mutual funds. Total deposits increased $9.0 million, or 3.7%, to $249.0 million at year-end 2003, compared to $240.0 million at year-end 2002. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 million, or 3.5%, to $33.5 million compared to $32.4 million at year-end 2002. Interest-bearing deposits increased $7.8 million or 3.8% at year-end 2003 compared to year-end 2002. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased slightly to $50.9 million, and statement and passbook savings increased $948,000. Time deposits in excess of $100,000 increased $8.8 million while other certificates of deposit decreased $2.0 million.

Other Funding

The Company obtains additional funds through securities sold under repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB. These borrowings totaled $21.4 million at year-end 2003. These funding sources provided a net decrease in cash of $8.5 million from year-end 2002 to year-end 2003. A $5 million advance from the FHLB was partially offset by the repayment of a $10 million advance, a $2.6 million decrease in repurchase agreements and $868,000 principal payments on single mortgage advances from the FHLB. The repurchase agreements are uninsured, so the Company pledges securities against these customer funds.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity increased from $33.7 million at December 31, 2002 to $34.7 million at December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to net income of $2.1 million, offset by dividends declared of $1.3 million. Shareholders’ equity increased $261,000 in 2003 and $120,000 in 2002 as a portion of dividends declared was reinvested by shareholders in common stock under the Company’s dividend reinvestment program.

Banking regulations have established minimum capital ratios for banks and bank holding companies. Therefore, the Company and the Bank must meet a risk-based capital requirement, which defines two tiers of capital and compares each to the Company’s “risk-weighted assets.” The Company’s assets and certain off-balance-sheet items, such as loan commitments, are each assigned a risk factor such that assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more capital support than assets with lower risk. These regulations require the Company to have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, at least half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The Company’s Tier 1 capital is its shareholders’ equity before any unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, while total risk-based capital includes Tier 1 capita! and a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses. In addition, a bank or bank holding company’s leverage ratio (which for the Company equals its shareholders’ equity before any unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale divided by average assets) must be maintained at a minimum of 4%. The Company’s and Bank’s actual capital amounts are believed by management to meet all applicable capital adequacy requirements, as further disclosed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Dividends paid by the Bank are the primary source of funds available to the Company for payment of dividends to shareholders and for other working capital needs. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to restrictions by regulatory authorities, which generally limit dividends to current and prior two years retained earnings, as defined by regulation. In addition, dividend payments generally cannot reduce regulatory capital levels below the minimum regulatory guidelines discussed above.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, pay operating expenses and meet other obligations. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $17.2 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $5.4 million from year-end 2002. Net income, securities available-for-sale, maturities or calls of securities held to maturity, and loan repayments also serve as sources of liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents and securities maturing within one year represent 8.5% of total assets at year-end 2003, as compared to 11.0% at year-end 2002. Other sources of liquidity include, but are not limited to, purchase of federal funds, advances from the FHLB, adjustments of interest rates to attract deposits, and borrowing at the Federal Reserve discount window. Management believes that its sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the needs of the Company.

As summarized in the consolidated statements of cash flows, the most significant investing activities for the Company in 2003 included the maturities and calls of securities totaling $49.8 million offset by a $44.5 million in purchases, and net loan originations of $13.6 million. The Company’s financing activities included $9.0 million increase in deposits, $2.6 million reduction in repurchase agreements, and $5.0 million in proceeds from FHLB advances offset by $10.9 million in repayments.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The most significant market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consists of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in the market rates of interest, resulting in market risk. None of the Company’s financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

The Company manages interest rate risk regularly through the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee. The Committee meets on a monthly basis and reviews various asset and liability management information, including but not limited to, the Bank’s liquidity position, projected sources and uses of funds, interest rate risk position and economic conditions.

The Company monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity or “shock” analysis, whereby it measures potential changes in its future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that may result from one or more hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis is performed by estimating the expected cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments using interest rates in effect at year-end 2003 and 2002. For the fair value estimates, the cash flows are then discounted to year-end to arrive at an estimated present value of the Company’s financial instruments. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are then applied to the financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair values are again estimated using these hypothetical rates. For the net interest income estimates, the hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based on the assumed cash flows. The Company applies these interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down 200 basis points in 100 basis point increments.

Management reviews its rate shock position with the Board on a periodic basis. The Company was within all Board-approved limits at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Significant Assumptions and Other Considerations

The above analysis is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and reactions of depositors to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Further, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

Securities owned by the Company will generally repay at their stated maturities. Many of the Company’s loans permit the borrower to prepay the principal balance prior to maturity without penalty. The likelihood of prepayment depends on a number of factors, including current interest rate and interest rate index (if any) on the loan, the financial ability of the borrower to refinance, the economic benefit to be obtained from refinancing, availability of refinancing at attractive terms, as well as economic and other factors in specific geographic areas which affect the sales and price levels of collateral real property. In a changing interest rate environment, prepayments may increase or decrease on fixed- and adjustable-rate loans depending on the current relative levels and expectations of future short- and long-term interest rates. Prepayments on adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans generally increase when long-term interest rates fall or are at historically low levels relative to short-term interest rates, thus making fixed-rate loans more desirable. While savings and checking deposits generally may be withdrawn upon the customer’s request without prior notice, a continuing relationship with customers resulting in future deposits and withdrawals is generally predictable, resulting in a dependable and uninterrupted source of funds. No change in the rates on such deposits is assumed when market rates increase or decrease 100 basis points. When market rates increase or decrease 200 basis points, the analysis assumes a corresponding 50 basis point change in the rates paid on such deposits. Short-term borrowings have fixed maturities. Time deposits generally have early withdrawal penalties, which discourage customer withdrawal prior to maturity. Certain advances from the FHLB carry prepayment penalties and are expected to be repaid in accordance with their contractual terms.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company discloses the estimated fair value of its financial instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002 in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. Fair value of the Company’s financial instruments experienced modest changes in 2003. Estimated fair value of loans amounted to 100.8% of the carrying value in 2003, decreasing from 102.0% in 2002. The fair value of securities decreased to 103.4% of carrying value in 2003, from 104.0% in 2002. Estimated fair value of time deposits decreased slightly to 100.5% of carrying value in 2003 from 100.6% in 2002.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new pronouncement in December 2002 to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. While this pronouncement may impact future financial statement disclosures, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Management is unaware of any other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting pronouncements that will have a future impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the commercial banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon the information available as of the date of the financial statements.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. These policies, along with the other disclosures presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2003 Financial Review, provide information about how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses as the accounting area that requires the most subjective and complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

As previously noted in the section entitled Allowance for Loan Losses, management performs analysis to assess the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. This analysis encompasses a variety of factors including the potential loss exposure for individually reviewed loans, the historical loss experience, the volume of nonperforming loans (i.e., loans in nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more), the volume of loans past due, any significant changes in lending or loan review staff, an evaluation of current and future local and national economic conditions, any significant changes in the volume or mix of loans within each category, a review of the significant concentrations of credit, and any legal, competitive, and regulatory concerns.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, requiring measurement of financial position and results of operations primarily in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, most assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as prices of goods and services. The liquidity, maturity, structure, and quality of the Company’s assets and liabilities are critical to maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

COMMON STOCK AND SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Common shares of the Company are not traded on an established market. Shares are traded through broker/dealers under the symbol “CSBB.OB” and through private transactions. The table below represents the range of high and low prices paid for transactions known to the Company. Management does not have knowledge of prices paid on all transactions. Because of the lack of an established market, these prices may not reflect the prices at which stock would trade in an active market. These quotations reflect interdealer prices, without markup, markdown or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. The chart specifies cash dividends declared by the Company to its shareholders during 2003 and 2002. No assurances can be given that dividends will be declared, or if declared, what the amount of any such dividends will be. Additional information concerning restrictions over the payment of dividends is included in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements.

(1)   First quarter 2002 dividend of $0.05 was not approved by regulators until April 5, 2002. Therefore, it was considered declared in second quarter. An additional $0.05 dividend was declared later in the second quarter.

As of December 31, 2003, CSB Bancorp, Inc. had approximately 1,211 shareholders and 2,644,350 outstanding shares of common stock.

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The Bank provides financial services through its main office and eight branches located in Millersburg, Ohio, and nearby communities. These communities are the source of substantially all deposit, loan and trust activities. The majority of the Bank’s income is derived from commercial and retail lending activities and investments in securities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of business. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below:

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant area involving the use of management’s estimates and assumptions is the allowance for loan losses.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank has established a trust department and the assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as such items are not assets of the Bank.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold which mature overnight or within three days.

CASH RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve to maintain reserves consisting of cash on hand and noninterest-earning balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The required reserve balance at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $1,879,000 and $1,226,000, respectively.

SECURITIES

Securities are designated at the time of purchase as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried at their amortized cost. Securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, on such securities recognized as other comprehensive income (loss).

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest and dividends on securities.

Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock are classified as restricted securities, carried at cost, and evaluated for impairment.

Gains and losses on sales of securities are accounted for on a completed transaction basis, using the specific identification method, and are included in noninterest income. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  (CSB BANCORP, INC. LOGO)

LOANS

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are stated at their outstanding principal amount, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued based upon the daily outstanding principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

Interest income is not reported when full repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate, and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and any loan balance in excess of fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and write-downs are included in other operating expense, as are gains or losses upon sale and expenses related to maintenance of the properties. Other real estate owned amounted to $54,164 at December 31, 2002 (none at December 31, 2003).

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon the sale or disposition of the assets, the difference between the depreciated cost and proceeds is charged or credited to income. Depreciation and amortization is determined based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets (typically 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for equipment) and is computed using both accelerated and straight-line methods.

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SERVICING

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as an asset when acquired through sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Any impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Substantially all securities sold under repurchase agreements represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover those obligations which are not deposits and not covered by federal deposit insurance.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities, reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns.

The Bank is not currently subject to state and local income taxes.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported if options are granted below market price at the grant date. Pro forma disclosures of compensation cost of stock-based awards have been determined using the fair value method that considers the time value of the option considering the volatility of the Company’s stock and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Had compensation cost for stock options been measured using FASB Statement No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma effect may increase in the future if more options are granted.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

PER SHARE DATA

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year, after restatement for stock dividends. Diluted income per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations were as follows:

                         
    2003   2002   2001
Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic)
    2,638,360       2,630,931       2,625,241  
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options
    3,527       3,627       773  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
 
Weighted average common shares outstanding (diluted)
    2,641,887       2,634,558       2,626,014  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
 

Dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the record date.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications of 2002 and 2001 amounts have been made to conform with the 2003 presentation.

There were six securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2003, none of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. Management has considered industry analyst reports, sector credit reports and volatility in the bond market in concluding that the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2003 were primarily the result of customary and expected fluctuations in the bond market. As a result, all security impairments as of December 31, 2003 are considered temporary.

NOTE 2 – LOANS (CONTINUED)

The following represents a summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

During 2002, the Bank sold certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with an outstanding principal balance aggregating approximately $1,275,000 and received total proceeds of $780,732, with a charge to the allowance for loan losses of approximately $494,000. There was no gain or loss recorded on the sales.

In 2001, the Bank reached an agreement to sell certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with an outstanding principal balance approximating $7,527,000. After recording a charge to the allowance for loan losses of $1,608,557, the Bank completed the sale in April 2001 resulting in proceeds of $5,957,710. There was no gain or loss recorded on the sale.

As a result of an increase in nonperforming loans during 2000 and a regulatory examination performed in the second quarter of 2000, management analyzed certain of its credits, resulting in increased loan charge-offs and specific and general allocation of its allowance for loan losses, which caused an increase in the provision for loan losses during the year. Certain of these credits were favorably resolved during the three year period, resulting in actual loan charge-offs being less than the specific allocations provided. As a result of these favorable outcomes, the Bank recognized a credit for loan losses of $51,000 in 2003 and $586,521 in 2002.

Impaired loans were as follows:

                   
    2003   2002

Cash-basis interest income recognized
    51,039       105,169       766,353  

Nonperforming loans, including certain impaired loans and smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential mortgage and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, were as follows at December 31, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    2003   2002

During 2002, the Bank borrowed $10,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank under a secured note, with interest at 3.44%, which matured and was paid in full in November 2003. The Bank also borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund certain fixed-rate residential real estate loans during the mid-1990’s. Such borrowings carry fixed interest rates ranging from 5.65% to 7.15% at December 31, 2003, with 10, 15 or 20 year maturities. Monthly principal and interest payments are due on the borrowings. In addition, a principal curtailment of 10% of outstanding principal balance is due on the anniversary date of each borrowing.

Future estimated principal payments on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, including curtailments, are as follows:

         
2004
  $ 767,247  
2005

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The significant components of the provision (credit) for deferred income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, were as follows:

                         
    2003   2002   2001
Tax effect of temporary differences, exclusive of item listed below
  $ (113,793 )   $ 439,542     $ 435,642

          987,000        
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
 
Total deferred income tax provision (credit)
  $ (113,793 )   $ 1,426,542     $ 435,642  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
 

The enactment on March 9, 2002 of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, enabled the Company to carryback net operating losses for a period of five years, as opposed to the normal two-year carryback period. Consequently, refundable income taxes at December 31, 2001, were increased and deferred tax assets decreased approximately $987,000 as a result of this tax law change.

The income tax provision (credit) attributable to income from operations differs from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as follows:

                         
    2003   2002   2001
Expected provision using statutory federal income tax rate
  $ 744,600     $ 631,800     $ 177,500  
Tax-exempt income on state and municipal securities and political subdivision loans
    (662,900 )     (756,400 )     (842,200 )

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company has available at December 31, 2003, a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $93,000 which is available to reduce future regular federal taxable income and expires in 2023. The Company also has available at December 31, 2003, alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $772,000 which may be utilized in the future to the extent computed regular tax exceeds the alternative minimum tax.

The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will be realized. Consequently, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is deemed necessary at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

The Company’s 2001 and 2002 consolidated federal income tax returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management of the Company and the exam agent have had correspondence regarding certain matters identified during the exam. Management does not believe final resolution of these matters will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Bank sponsors a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing plan covering substantially all employees who meet certain age and service requirements. The Plan permits investing in the Company’s common stock subject to various limitations and provides for discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions. The discretionary profit-sharing contribution is determined annually by the Board of Directors and amounted to 3% of each eligible participant’s compensation for 2003, 2002 and 2001. The Plan also provides for a 100% Bank match of participant contributions up to a maximum of 2% of each participant’s annual compensation. Expense under the Plan amounted to $164,000, $197,000 and $134,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Effective May 20, 2003, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $17.75 per share through May 19, 2008, to an executive officer. The Board of Directors also granted options to two executive officers of the Bank to purchase 1,000 shares each of common stock at an exercise price of $17.50 through July 31, 2008.

Effective December 31, 2002, the Board of Directors granted to various officers and employees of the Bank, options to purchase a total of 14,660 shares of common stock under the Company’s Share Incentive Plan. The options are exercisable on the anniversary of the grant date in annual 20% increments. The exercise price for the options is the December 31, 2002 market price of $16.05 per share and the options expire 10 years from the grant date.

On March 1, 2001, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share to an executive officer who resigned in July 2003. The options expire 10 years from the grant date.

NOTE 8 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance sheet loans.

The following financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were outstanding at December 31, 2003 and 2002 (dollars in thousands):

                 
    2003   2002
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 46,714     $ 48,290  
 
   
 
     
 
 
Letters of credit
  $ 368     $ 185  
 
   
 
     
 
 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.

Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are reviewed for renewal at expiration. All letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2003, are due on demand or expire in 2004. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank requires collateral supporting these commitments when deemed necessary.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, that the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification from federal and state banking agencies categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, an institution must maintain minimum total-risk based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Company and Bank as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, are also presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):

The Company’s primary source of funds with which to pay dividends is dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to restrictions by its regulatory agency. These restrictions generally limit dividends to current and prior two-years retained earnings. Also, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements disclosed above. Under these provisions, approximately $2,016,000 was available for dividends on January 1, 2004, without the need to obtain the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions.

The preceding summary does not include accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and other liabilities which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amount.

The Bank also has unrecognized financial instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002. These financial instruments relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments approximated to $47,082,000 at December 31, 2003 and $48,475,000 at December 31, 2002. Such amounts are also considered to be the estimated fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments shown above:

Cash and cash equivalents

Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items (which include cash on hand, due from banks, and federal funds sold) because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.

Securities

The fair value of securities (both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity) is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities or, if not available, estimated fair value was obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.

Loans

Fair value for loans was estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, which reprice at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on secondary market quotes from various dealers, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value for nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows. The estimated value of credit card loans is based on existing loans and does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing cardholders over the remaining life of the portfolio.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  (CSB BANCORP, INC. LOGO)

Deposit liabilities

The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at year end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace.

Other financial instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is determined to be the contract amount since these financial instruments generally represent commitments at existing rates. The fair value of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements is determined to be the carrying amount since these financial instruments represent obligations which are due on demand. The fair value of borrowed funds is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument over the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Since no ready market exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are largely based on judgments after considering such factors as future expected credit losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

NOTE 14 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary may be involved in various legal actions, but in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Bank has entered into employment agreements with various officers. Upon the occurrence of certain types of termination of employment, the Bank may be required to make specified severance payments if termination occurs within a specified period of time, generally two years from the date of the agreement, or pursuant to certain change in control transactions.
