(the "Company") was organized as a Delaware corporation on December 12, 1994 to acquire all of the capital stock issued by Centralia Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Company is engaged in the business of directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of the Bank. In the future, the Company may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, although there are no current plans or agreements to do so. The Bank is an Illinois-chartered stock savings bank. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). The Bank was originally chartered in 1879 as a federally chartered savings and loan association, merged with another savings association in the 1970's and converted to a state-chartered savings bank on July 1, 1993 under its current name of Centralia Savings Bank. The Bank conducts its business through its office located at 200 South Poplar Street, Centralia, Illinois 62801, and its telephone number is (618) 532-1918. The Bank provides its customers with a broad range of community banking services. The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to invest in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, multi-family residential, consumer, commercial business and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Bank invests in U.S. Government and Agency securities, state and municipal obligations and mortgage-backed securities. CSB FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. 200 South Poplar Centralia, Illinois 62801 (618) 532-1918 ---------------------------- PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ---------------------------- Dear Fellow Shareholders: It is my privilege to report to you on the highlights of this past year and to share our strategies for the future goals of CSB Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiary. I am pleased to report the diluted earnings per share has increased $.15 to $.42 per share. Net income for the year increased $100,000 to $345,000. This increase was primarily accomplished through reductions in professional fees and other noninterest expenses. In August 1998 the Board of Directors announced and implemented a repurchase program to acquire up 82,000 shares of its own common stock. This repurchase program is the reason for the $1,523,000 decline in stockholders' equity to $10,129,000 at September 30, 1998. As of the date of these financials, the Company has completed the repurchase of 302,080 shares, or 29.2%, of the initial common stock issuance. The stock market has proven that it can shift rapidly and with velocity. Technology has provided investors with a connection to other world markets, a continuous flow of information on world events and the ability to make investment decisions in the blink of an eye. The recent downturn in the stock market has shown us how quickly this can occur. The stock market declines have been the harshest on the small and mid-capitalization stocks and, in particular, your company's stock. The Company's stock price had a high of $14.00, a low of $9.00, and closed the year at $9.75. It is important to note that this setback occurs during a time of improved performance for CSB Financial Group, Inc. It is even more important to note that the stock market is a cyclical business. We must not confuse stock price with operating performance. This past year has seen a record-breaking event in the level of mortgage interest rates. Mortgage customers, desiring to reduce their real estate costs, have sought new financing of their residential mortgage loans. Centralia Savings Bank originated in excess of $5,000,000 in real estate loans during the fiscal year 1998. The bank sold the majority of these loans into the secondary real estate markets in exchange for origination fees. The bank plans to retain residential real estate loans during 1999 and annually evaluate the interest-rate risks and earnings impact of this strategy. The board of directors and management recently completed its planning session for fiscal year 1999. We have identified a number of strategies, all focused on improving return on equity. Management is confident these strategies will provide for loan growth, minimizing the marginal costs of funding the growth, reducing operating expenses, and continuing our repurchase of the Company's stock. On behalf of the board of directors, management and staff of the Company, I thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, /s/ K. Gary Reynolds ------------------------------------- K. Gary Reynolds President and Chief Executive Officer ------------------------------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations ------------------------------------------- Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist the reader in understanding the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operation for CSB Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other sections contained herein. General On December 12, 1994, CSB Financial Group, Inc. was organized for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding stock of Centralia Savings Bank (the "Bank") upon conversion of the Bank from a mutual to a stock savings bank. The conversion was completed on October 5, 1995. The Company sold 1,035,000 shares of common stock in the initial stock offering at $8 per share. The Company purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank using 50% of the $7,584,000 in net proceeds generated from the initial offering. The Company conducts no significant business other than through the Bank. The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Centralia SLA, Inc., which provides insurance services. All references to the Company include the Bank and its subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated. References to the Company prior to October 5, 1995 are to the Bank and Centralia SLA, Inc., on a consolidated basis. Comparison of Operating Results for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 General. The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets (primarily loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities) and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits). The Company's net income also is affected by the establishment of provision for loan losses and the level of its non-interest income, including loan fees, deposit service charges, insurance commissions, gains and losses from the sale of assets as well as its other non-interest expenses and provisions for income taxes. On September 13, 1996, the Company purchased the Carlyle branch office from Kankakee Federal Savings Bank, Kankakee, Illinois. The purchase of the Carlyle branch was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Therefore, the operating results for the branch are included in the consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company's net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $345,000 as compared to $245,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. This represents a $100,000, or 40.8%, increase in net income. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $1,666,000 and $1,611,000, respectively. This represents a $55,000, or 3.4%, increase in net interest income. This is primarily due to an increase in the yield on earning assets. Interest income increased $51,000, or 1.6%, from $3,253,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 compared to $3,304,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from a 23 basis point increase in the average rate earned on the Company's interest-earning assets. The average balances of mortgage loans increased $79,000 combined with the 40 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans resulted in a $86,000 increase in the interest income between fiscal years. The average balance of investment securities increased $1,520,000 combined with a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities resulted in an increase in interest income of $120,000 between fiscal years. These increases more than offset the decreases in the other average interest bearing assets. The $213,000 decrease in the average balance of consumer loans combined with a 72 basis point decrease in the average yield of these loans resulted in a $60,000 decrease in interest income between the fiscal years. The $178,000 decrease in the average balance of commercial loans was offset by a 130 basis point increase in the average yield resulting in a decrease of $3,000 in interest income. The $364,000 decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities combined with a 21 basis point decrease in the average yield resulted in a $37,000 decrease in interest income between fiscal years. Interest expense decreased $4,000, or .2%, to $1,638,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 from $1,642,000 for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $63,000, compared to $90,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Management evaluates the adequacy of the Company's allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and may, based on such review, adjust the amount of the provision for loan losses. Classified loans are considered as part of this review. Non-Interest Income. The Company's non-interest income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $134,000, as compared to $154,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. This represents a decrease of $20,000, or 13.0%, in non-interest income. The decrease resulted primarily from a $49,000 decrease in gains on sale of securities combined with a $9,000 increase in service charges on deposits and a $20,000 increase in other non-interest income fees. Non-Interest Expense. The Company's non-interest expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $1,273,000, as compared to $1,319,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. The $46,000 decrease in non-interest expense is due to decreased expenses related to professional fees. Compensation and Employee Benefits expense increased $3,000 to $631,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $41,000 in salaries related to an increase in the number of employees offset by a decrease in the Company's contribution to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The consolidated financial statements reflect a charge of $32,000 relating to contributions to the ESOP as compared to $69,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. The Company records compensation expense related to the ESOP in accordance with SOP 93-6. As a result, to the extent the value of the Company's common stock appreciates, compensation expense related to the ESOP could increase. Data processing expense increased $8,000 to $103,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily attributed to an increase in the per-item processing costs and the increased need for and associated costs of management reports. Professional fees decreased $45,000 to $83,000 for fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 from $128,000 for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. The primary causes for the decrease relate to professional fees for regulatory reporting which were incurred in 1997 but not in 1998. Other non-interest expenses decreased $12,000 to $345,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $357,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $119,000, as compared to $111,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. This represents a $8,000, or 7.2%, increase in the provision for income taxes. Comparison of Financial Condition as of September 30, 1998 and 1997 General. At September 30, 1998, the Company's total assets were $46.4 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 4.4%, as compared to $48.5 million at September 30, 1997. The decrease resulted from a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million, or 42.4%, a decrease in other assets of $114,000 and a $1.0 million decrease in loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses which offset the $159,000 increase in investment securities. The repurchase of the Company's common stock between fiscal years was the primary cause for this decrease. Loans. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, at September 30, 1998 were $26.1 million, a decrease of $1,023,000, or 3.8%, compared to $27.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Mortgage loans increased $241,000, or 1.2%, consumer loans decreased $676,000, or 14.2%, as compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Commercial loans decreased $388,000, or 38.3%, to $625,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $1,013,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997. Home equity lines of credit and share loans decreased $138,000 and $73,000, respectively. This was a decrease of 16.9% and 27.4% as compared to fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Commercial and consumer lending have declined due to increased competition on rates and a shift in management's focus towards mortgage lending. Average loan balances for 1998 amounted to $26.9 million as compared to $27.2 million in the previous fiscal year. The Company continues to emphasize mortgage lending. The residential mortgage loans increased $251,000 during 1998, or 1.3%, to $19.3 million as compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. During 1998, loan originations for residential mortgage loans amounted to $5.2 million as compared to $2.1 million in originations for the prior fiscal year. Residential mortgage loans represent 73.4% of gross loans. Consumer loans, consisting primarily of automobile loans, made up 15.6% of gross loans, commercial loans made up 2.4% of gross loans, home equity lines of credit and share loans made up 3.3% of gross loans, and non-residential real estate loans comprised 5.3% of the portfolio at September 30, 1998. Allowance for Loan Losses. An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential loan losses as determined by evaluations of the loan portfolio on a continuing basis. This evaluation by management includes consideration of past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the volume and condition of the loan portfolio as well as the financial condition of specific borrowers and current economic conditions. Loans with principal and interest payments contractually due but not yet paid are reviewed at least semimonthly and are placed on a nonaccrual status when scheduled payments remain unpaid for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and is in the process of collection. Nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1998 amounted to $410,000 or .88% of total assets as compared to $385,000 or .79% of total assets as of September 30, 1997. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's gross allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Investment Securities. Investment securities represented 36.9% of total assets as of September 30, 1998 compared to 35.0% of total assets as of September 30, 1997. Investment securities increased $159,000, .9%, from $17.0 million to $17.2 million as of September 30, 1998. At September 30, 1998, the Company held approximately $17.2 million in investment securities of which $16.9 million were held as available for sale, and $215,000 were non-marketable equity securities. Of the $17.2 million in investment securities, $13.9 million, or 81.0%, were U. S. Government and agency securities, $1.7 million, or 9.8%, were obligations of state and political subdivisions, $215,000, or 1.3%, were non-marketable equity securities and $1.4 million, or 7.9%, were mortgage-backed securities. Deposits. At September 30, 1998, total deposits amounted to $35.9 million, or 77.2%, of total assets. Total deposits decreased $731,000, or 2.0% from September 30, 1997. A $595,000 increase in time deposits greater than $100,000 offset by $530,000 decrease in demand deposits, an $8,000 decrease in savings, and a $788,000 decrease in other time deposits. Return on Equity and Assets Net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 was $345,000 as compared to $245,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Return on average assets (ROA) for the year ended September 30, 1998 was .73% as compared to .51% for the year ended September 30, 1997. The cause for the increase in ROA was due to a decrease in professional fees relating to regulatory reporting and compensation expenses related to the Company's benefit plans. Return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended September 30, 1998 was 3.24% as compared to 2.05% for the year ended September 30, 1997. The cause for the increase in ROE was due to increased net income and stock repurchase programs implemented by the Company. During the fiscal year, the Company purchased 169,305 shares of its common stock from the open market. The average equity to average assets ratio as of September 30, 1998 was 22.4% as compared to 24.9% as of September 30, 1997. The primary cause for the decrease was the repurchase of the Company's common stock. Average Balance Sheet The following table presents the average balance sheet for the Company for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the interest on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the related average yield or cost. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the related asset or liability for the periods shown. Average balances were determined from averaging month-end balances.

Asset and Liability Management The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest-rate sensitive", and by monitoring an institution's interest-rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability can be considered to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a specific time period, and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. At September 30, 1998, the Company's interest-bearing liabilities either maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its interest-earning assets either maturing or repricing within one year by $6.6 million, representing a cumulative one-year interest-rate sensitivity gap of negative 14.17%. During periods of rising interest rates, it is expected that the yield on the Company's interest-earning assets would rise more slowly than the cost on its interest-bearing liabilities, which would be expected to have a negative effect on net interest income. A decrease in interest rates would have the opposite effect on net interest income, as the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would fall more rapidly than would the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets. The primary function of asset and liability management is to maintain an appropriate balance between liquidity on the one hand, and interest-earning assets and liabilities on the other. The appropriate balance will enable the Company to produce stable net income during changing interest-rate cycles. In recent years, the Company's assets have been comprised primarily of one-to-four-family residential mortgage balloon payment notes along with long-term investment and mortgage-backed securities, while its liabilities have been comprised primarily of short-term certificates of deposit. The majority of the Company's balloon payment notes have maturities of three years, while a small number have maturities of either one or five years. The balloon payment notes are not interest-rate sensitive in a rapidly increasing interest-rate environment because the interest rate remains fixed for up to five years regardless of an increase in market interest rates. Furthermore, although the interest rate on the balloon payment notes may be changed if the note is renewed at the end of the term, the balloon payment notes have interest rate caps of one or two percentage points over the initial rate of interest. Consequently, if interest rates increase by an amount exceeding the interest rate cap during the term of the note, the Company may be forced to renew the notes at interest rates below the prevailing market rate. Since the first calendar quarter of 1995, the adjustable-rate-mortgage (ARM) has replaced the standard balloon payment loan as the principal type of mortgage loan offered to new residential first-mortgage customers of the Company. The ARM's have higher interest rate ceilings than the balloon payment loans, along with interest rate floors, and will accordingly provide the Company with increased interest rate protection. Beginning in February 1996, the Company initiated a program of converting the balloon mortgage loans to comparable ARM mortgage loans. As the balloon mortgage loans mature, they are converted to an ARM. It is anticipated the balloon mortgage loan portfolio will be converted to ARM mortgage loans by the end of fiscal year 1998. Because the majority of the Company's deposits are in higher yielding short-term certificates of deposit (which can be expected to reprice upon maturity), an increase in market interest rates will have a more dramatic effect on the Company's cost of funds than if such deposits were in transaction or passbook savings account. The interest rates on the Company's certificates of deposit tend to increase more quickly and in greater increments than the interest rates on its transaction or passbook savings accounts. The Company's investment securities portfolio had an average maturity of 4.6 years, excluding mortgage-backed securities, as of September 30, 1998. Accordingly, the Company's investment securities portfolio could be made less interest-rate sensitive by increasing the average maturity of the portfolio. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, payments on investment and mortgage-backed securities and sales of Company stock. While scheduled maturities of loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and the Company's ability to renew balloon payment notes are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination of one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans. During each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company originated one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans in the amount of $5.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These activities were funded primarily by principal repayments on loans, payments on mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities. The net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 totaled $858,000. Investment activities included the purchase of investment securities which totaled $13.0 million and $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Sources of cash for investing activities was provided by operating activities, maturities and sales of securities, and cash and cash equivalents held at the beginning of the fiscal year. Investment activities included the sale of investment securities which totaled $5.2 million and $2.7 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Investment activities also included maturities and paydowns on investment securities which totaled $7.8 million and $6.6 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, satisfy financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments, pay maturing certificates of deposits and satisfy deposit withdrawals. At September 30, 1998, the Company had commitments to extend credit in the amount of $1.3 million. These commitments were comprised of variable-rate and fixed-rate commitments in the amounts of $275,000 and $1,008,000, respectively. The range of rates on fixed-rate commitments was 8.25% to 11.50%. At September 30, 1998, certificates of deposits totaled $23.9 million, or 66.7% of total deposits, as compared to $24.1 million, or 65.9% of total deposits for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Time deposits over $100,000 accounted for $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of the certificate of deposit totals. Historically, the Company has been able to retain a significant amount of its maturing deposits by increasing the interest rates earned by the certificates of deposit. Because deposit insurance premiums paid by commercial banks on BIF-insured deposits have been drastically reduced, the Company may find it more difficult to retain such deposits. Management believes it will have adequate resources to fund maturing deposits and withdrawals from additional deposits, proceeds of scheduled repayments of loans as well as from payments received on investment and mortgage-backed securities. Capital. The Company is required to maintain a specific amount of capital pursuant to the regulations of the Commissioner of Savings and Residential Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of September 30, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 45.3%, compared to the minimum ratio required of 4.0%, total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 46.2% compared to the minimum ratio required of 8.0% and a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 19.8% compared to the minimum ratio required of 4.0%. The Company continues to maintain a strong capital position to support its capital requirements. Stockholders' equity decreased $1.5 million to $10.1 million as of September 30, 1998. This decrease was due to the repurchase of the Company's common stock which totaled $2.0 million, offset by net income of $345,000 and employee benefit plan items totaling $70,000 and a $44,000 increase in unrealized gain on securities available for sale. Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements Reporting Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130), was issued in July 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard establishes reporting of comprehensive income for general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period and all other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The Standard is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131), was issued in July 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard requires the Corporation to disclose the factors used to identify reportable segments including the basis of organization, differences in products and services, geographic areas, and regulatory environments. FAS 131 additionally requires financial results to be reported in the financial statements for each reportable segment. The Standard is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. This statement applies to all entities. FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is encouraged. The statement is not to be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 133 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Recent Regulatory Developments Deposit Insurance Premiums. Deposits of the Bank are currently insured by the FDIC under the SAIF. The FDIC also maintains another insurance fund, the BIF, which primarily insures commercial bank and some state savings bank deposits. Applicable law requires that the SAIF and BIF funds each achieve and maintain a ratio of insurance reserves to total insured deposits equal to 1.25%. In 1995, the BIF reached this 1.25% reserve level, and the FDIC announced a reduction in BIF premiums for most banks. Based on this reduction, the highest rated institutions (approximately 92 percent of the nearly 11,000 BIF-insured banks) will pay the statutory annual minimum of $2,000 for FDIC insurance. Rates for all other institutions were reduced to $.04 per $100 as well, leaving a premium range of $.03 to $.27 per $100 instead of the previous $.04 to $.31 per $100. Currently, SAIF-member institutions pay deposit insurance premiums based on a schedule of $0.00 to $0.27 per $100 of deposits. The assessment for the Bank was $22,000 as of September 30, 1998. FICO Assessment. The Financing Corporation (FICO), established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, is a mixed-ownership government corporation whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). Effective December 12, 1991, as provided by the Resolution Trust Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring and Improvement Act of 1991, the FICO's ability to issue new debt was terminated. Outstanding FICO bonds, which are 30-year noncallable bonds with a principal amount of approximately $8.1 billion, mature in 2017 through 2019. The FICO has assessment authority, separate from the FDIC's authority to assess risk-based premiums for deposit insurance, to collect funds from FDIC-insured institutions sufficient to pay interest on FICO bonds. The FDIC acts as collection agent for the FICO. The Deposit Insurance Funds Act 1996 (DIFA) authorized the FICO to assess both BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits, and required the BIF rate to equal one-fifth the SAIF rate through year-end 1999, or until the insurance funds are merged, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits will be assessed at the same rate by FICO. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of the respective funds based on quarterly Call Report and Thrift Financial Report submissions. The quarterly FICO rates since enactment of DIFA have ranged from 1.164 to 1.30 basis points for BIF institutions and 5.82 to 6.50 basis points for SAIF institutions. Income Tax Regulations Affecting Bad Debt Reserve. Under existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar sections of the Illinois income tax law, qualifying thrifts may claim bad debt deductions based on the greater of (1) a specified percentage of taxable income, as defined, or (2) actual loss experience. If, in the future, any of the accumulated bad debt deductions are used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, gross taxable income may result and income taxes may be payable. The Small Business Job Protection Act became law on August 20, 1996. One of the provisions in this law repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts for thrift institutions so that the bad debt deduction described in the preceding paragraph will no longer be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. The change in the law requires that the tax bad debt reserves accumulated after September 30, 1988 be recaptured into taxable income over a six-year period. The start of the six-year period can be delayed for up to two years if the Company meets certain residential lending thresholds. Deferred taxes have been provided on the portion of the tax reserve for loan loss that must be recaptured. Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Year 2000 Compliance The year 2000 has posed a unique set of challenges to those industries reliant on information technology. As a result of methods employed by early programmers, many software applications and operational programs may be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. If not effectively addressed, this problem could result in the production of inaccurate data, or, in the worst cases, the inability of the systems to continue to function altogether. Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to the industry's dependence on electronic data processing systems. In 1997, the Company started the process of identifying the hardware and software issues required to be addressed to assure year 2000 compliance. The Company began by assessing the issues related to the year 2000 and the potential for those issues to adversely affect the Company's operations and those of its subsidiaries. Since that time, the Company has established a Year 2000 Compliance Team (the Team) composed of representatives from key areas throughout the organization. It is the mission of this Team to identify areas subject to complications related to the year 2000 and to initiate remedial measures designed to eliminate any adverse effects on the Company's operations. The Team has identified all mission-critical software and hardware that may be adversely affected by the year 2000 and has required vendors to represent that the systems and products provided are or will be year 2000 compliant. The Company expects that all mission critical software will be upgraded to achieve year 2000 compliance and tested by December 31, 1998. In addition, the Team is developing contingency plans to address systems which do not become year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1998. Management has determined that if a business interruption as a result of Year 2000 issue occurred, such an interruption could be material. The primary effort required to prevent a potential business interruption is to assure the Company's third party processor is year 2000 compliant. As a cost saving measure, management has contracted with a different third party processor to convert data before June 30, 1999. This third party processor has stated that Year 2000 remediation and testing efforts have been successfully completed. The Company is committed to a plan for achieving compliance, focusing not only on its own data processing systems, but also on its loan customers. The Team has taken steps to educate and assist its customers with identifying their year 2000 compliance problems. In addition, the Team has proposed policy and procedure changes to help identify potential risks to the Company and to gain an understanding of how customers are managing the risks associated with the year 2000. Management believes that the organization has an effective year 2000 compliance program in place and that additional expenditures required to bring its systems into compliance will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations, cash flow, or financial condition. Management expects total additional out-of-pocket expenditures to be approximately $131,000. This includes costs to upgrade equipment specifically for the purpose of year 2000 compliance and certain administrative expenditures. However, the year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex and can potentially affect any computer process. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that year 2000 compliance can be achieved without additional unanticipated expenditures and uncertainties that might affect future financial results. The Federal banking regulators have established standards for achieving year 2000 compliance for federally insured depository institutions. If an institution fails to meet any of the established standards, its primary regulator may issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institution's growth rate and take any action the regulator deems appropriate. --------------------- CORPORATE INFORMATION --------------------- Holding Company Form 10-KSB Annual Report CSB Financial Group, Inc.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of operations CSB Financial Group, Inc. (the Company) is the holding company of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centralia Savings Bank (the Bank). Centralia Savings Bank is a state chartered stock savings bank, converted from mutual form on October 5, 1995, located in Marion County, Illinois. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those agencies. Principles of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Centralia SLA. Centralia SLA, Inc.'s principal business activity is to provide insurance services. For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, all material intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Company management is required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the savings and loan industry. Following is a description of the more significant policies which the Company follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, deposit accounts and money-market funds to be cash equivalents. Securities available for sale Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over their contractual lives, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Nonmarketable equity securities Nonmarketable equity securities consist of the Banks' required investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank. This investment is carried at cost as the fair value is not readily determinable. Loans Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less unearned interest income and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on principally all loans is credited to income based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and recognized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method. Net deferred fees are included as components of the carrying value of the loan. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent payments are received, and the principal is considered fully collectible. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion of the allowance for loans losses applicable to impaired loans would be computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported. Management had not classified any loans as impaired as of September 30, 1998 or 1997. Allowance for losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets principally on the straight-line basis. Intangible assets Core deposit intangible and goodwill were recorded as part of the acquisition of the Carlyle branch in 1996. Core deposit intangible is being amortized by the straight line method over a ten year period. Goodwill is being amortized by the straight line method over a fifteen year period. Income taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Earnings per common share In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128). FAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the FAS 128 requirements. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 797,237 and 874,661 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock options and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market price for the period. Unallocated shares of the ESOP are not considered outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share were 824,296 and 900,784 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances as of September 30, 1997, with no effect on net income, to be consistent with the classifications adopted for September 30, 1998. Effect of New Accounting Standards Reporting Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130), was issued in July 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard establishes reporting of comprehensive income for general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period and all other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The Standard is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131), was issued in July 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard requires the Corporation to disclose the factors used to identify reportable segments including the basis of organization, differences in products and services, geographic areas, and regulatory environments. FAS 131 additionally requires financial results to be reported in the financial statements for each reportable segment. The Standard is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company only has one segment and, therefore, this Standard will have no effect on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. This statement applies to all entities. FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is encouraged. The statement is not to be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 133 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Note 2.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary: As of September 30, 1998 ------------------------ Available for Sale ------------------ Amortized Fair Cost Value ------------------ Less than one year ...................................... $ 2,999 $ 3,008 Due after one year through five years ................... 7,547 7,613 Due after five years through ten years .................. 4,645 4,749 Due after ten years ..................................... 204 205 Mortgage-backed securities .............................. 1,288 1,356 ----------------- $16,683 $16,931 ================= During the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 1997, the Company transferred $1,657 of securities classified as held-to-maturity to the available-for-sale classification and recorded $27 as a component of equity, net of $30 of deferred taxes. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, these securities are now accounted for at fair value. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount equal to 1% of its outstanding home loans. No ready market exists for the Bank stock, and it has no quoted market value. For disclosure purposes, such stock is assumed to have a market value which is equal to cost. The Company had securities with a carrying value of $150,159 pledged as collateral for public deposits or for other purposes as required or permitted by law for the years ended September 30, 1998. The Company had no securities pledged during 1997.

The Bank's underwriting policies require such loans to be made at 80% loan-to-value based upon appraised values unless private mortgage insurance is obtained. These loans are secured by the underlying properties. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company had approximately $410,000 and $198,000 of loans for which the accrual of interest had been discontinued. In the normal course of business, the Bank makes loans to its executive officers, directors and employees, and to companies and individuals affiliated with officers, directors and employees of the Bank and the Company. In the opinion of management, these loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. The activity in these loans is as follows: Balance as of October 1, 1997 .............................. $ 998 New loans ............................................... 222 Repayments .............................................. (170) ------- Balance as of September 30, 1998 ........................... $ 1,050 ======= Note 4.

Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar sections of the Illinois income tax law for the years beginning before January 1, 1996, qualifying thrifts could claim bad debt deductions based on the greater of (1) a specified percentage of taxable income, as defined, or (2) actual loss experience. The Small Business Job Protection Act became law on August 20, 1996. One of the provisions in this law repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts for thrift institutions so that the bad debt deduction described in the preceding paragraph will no longer be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. The change in the law requires that the tax bad debt reserves accumulated after September 30, 1988 be recaptured into taxable income over a six-year period. The start of the six-year period can be delayed for up to two years if the Company meets certain residential lending thresholds. Deferred taxes have been provided on the portion of the tax reserve for loan loss that must be recaptured. Retained earnings at September 30, 1998 and 1997, includes approximately $867 of the tax reserve which accumulated prior to 1988, for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $336 as of September 30, 1998 and 1997. Income tax expense differed as follows: Year Ended September 30, --------------- 1998 1997 --------------- Statutory rate applied to earnings before income tax ........... $ 158 $ 121 Increase in income taxes resulting from: Tax exempt interest income ..................................

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial Accounting Standard No. 107 (FAS 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. FAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company and its subsidiary. The following table reflects a comparison of carrying values and the fair values of the financial instruments: September 30, 1998 September 30, 1997 ------------------ ------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value ---------------------------------- Assets: Cash and cash equivalents ...... $ 1,542 $ 1,542 $ 2,675 $ 2,675 Securities available for sale .. 16,931 16,931 16,777 16,777 Nonmarketable equity securities 215 215 210 210 Accrued interest receivable .... 304 304 290 290 Loans .......................... 26,111 26,013 27,134 27,210 Liabilities: Deposits ....................... 35,855 35,909 36,586 36,649 Accrued interest payable ....... 12 12 13 13 The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents The carrying values reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, including cash and due from banks and interest earning deposits approximate their fair values. Securities Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying value of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. The carrying value for nonmarketable equity securities approximates their fair values. Loans For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying value of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Deposits The fair value disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The carrying values for variable-rate, demand deposits and savings deposit accounts approximate their fair values at the balance sheet date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The carrying value of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Off-balance-sheet instruments Fair values for the Bank's off-balance-sheet instruments, which consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value for such financial instruments is nominal. Note 9. Capital Ratios The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal 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 Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of September 30, 1998, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. To Be Well Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As of September 30, 1998: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Consolidated $ 9,546 46.2% $ 1,655 8.0% N/A Bank $ 9,239 44.7% $ 1,655 8.0% $ 2,069 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Consolidated $ 9,375 45.3% $ 827 4.0% N/A Bank $ 9,067 43.8% $ 827 4.0% $ 1,241 6.0% Tier I Capital (to Average Adjusted Assets) Consolidated $ 9,375 19.8% $ 1,899 4.0% N/A Bank $ 9,067 19.4% $ 1,869 4.0% $ 2,337 5.0% As of September 30, 1997: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Consolidated $ 11,047 51.17% $ 1,727 8.0% N/A Bank $ 8,777 40.96% $ 1,714 8.0% $ 2,143 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Consolidated $ 10,882 50.40% $ 864 4.0% N/A Bank $ 8,612 40.19% $ 857 4.0% $ 1,286 6.0% Tier I Capital (to Average Adjusted Assets) Consolidated $ 10,882 22.94% $ 1,897 4.0% N/A Bank $ 8,612 19.04% $ 1,809 4.0% $ 2,261 5.0%
Note 10. Officer, Director and Employee Benefit Plans Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) In conjunction with the conversion, an ESOP was created and 82,800 shares of the Company's stock were purchased for future allocation to employees. The purchase was funded with a loan from the Company. Shares are allocated to all eligible employees as the debt is repaid based on a prorata share of total eligible compensation. Employees 21 or older with at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve month period are eligible to participate. Benefits will vest over a five year period and in full after five years of qualified service. As shares are committed to be released from unallocated shares, the Bank recognizes compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The Bank recognized compensation expense for the ESOP of $32 and $69 for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Dividends received, if any, by the ESOP on unallocated shares will be used for debt service. In July 1997, the Company repurchased 41,400 shares of common stock from the ESOP. The ESOP used the proceeds received from the repurchase to reduce outstanding debt to the Company. The balance in unearned ESOP shares was reduced by the cost of the shares sold to the Company. The following table reflects the shares held by the plan: September 30, ---------------- 1998 1997 ---------------- Shares allocated .............................................. 17,029 11,968 Shared released to be allocated ............................... 1,842 4,324 Unreleased shares (Fair value as of September 30, 1998 and 1997 $281 and $309) ............................................. 22,529 25,108 ---------------- 41,400 41,400 ================ The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase the shares of common stock. The loan obligation is considered unearned employee stock ownership plan shares and is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The Board of Directors of the Company may direct payment of cash dividends, if any, be paid in cash to the participants or to be credited to participant accounts and invested. Profit Sharing Plan The Bank has a noncontributory defined contribution profit-sharing plan for all employees who have attained age 21 and one year of service. Nondeductible voluntary contributions are permitted, but none have been made to date. The Board of Directors determines the annual contribution to the plan which is allocated to those employees who worked more than 500 hours during the plan year or who are employed at the end of the plan year based on the prorata share of eligible compensation for the plan year. There have been no contributions for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Management Recognition Plan (MRP) The MRP was approved as of October 10, 1996. The MRP purchased, with funds provided by the Company, 62,100 shares in the open market during January 1997. Directors, officers, and employees become vested in the shares of common stock awarded to them under the MRP at a rate of 20 percent per year, commencing one year after the grant date, and 20 percent on each anniversary date thereof for the following four years. As of September 30, 1998 and 1997, 18,009 shares and 18,630 shares, respectively, have been awarded to officers, directors, and employees. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period for shares awarded under the plan. Stock Rights In June 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a Rights Agreement. Under the Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record on June 23, 1997. There was no fair value attached to these rights as of the grant date. The rights are not exercisable until the Distribution date which is defined as the earlier of the tenth business day after a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the tenth business day after the commencement or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in any person or group or affiliated or associated persons becoming an acquiring person. Each right enables the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at a price of $36. Stock Option Plans The Company has two stock option plans which may grant options to purchase common stock at the market price on the date of the grant. The options will be granted by a committee comprised of directors. Options for up to 103,500 shares may be granted to employees and directors under the Stock Option Plan approved May 22, 1996 and options for up to 103,500 shares may be granted to key employees and directors under the 1997 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. The options under the Stock Option Plan become exercisable at a rate of 20 percent per year commencing one year after the grant date. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, 35,875 and 25,875 options had been granted, respectively. The terms of the options under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and the exercise schedule are at the discretion of the Committee. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, 25,875 options had been granted. A summary of the status of the Company's fixed stock option plan and changes during the years ending on those dates is presented below: September 30, -------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 ------------------- -------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price ------------------------------------------ Options outstanding, beginning of the year 51,750 $ 9.22 25,875 $ 9.08 Options granted 10,000 12.51 25,875 9.36 Options exercised - - - - - - - - -------------------------------------------- Options outstanding, end of year 61,750 $ 9.75 51,750 $ 9.22 ============================================ Options exercisable 15,525 5,175 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 4.37 $ 3.33
The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants in 1998 and 1997: dividend rate of 0%; price volatility of 20.44% and a risk free interest rate of 4.59%. Employee Stock Plans At September 30, 1997, the Company has three stock based compensation plans which were described above. As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, grants under these plans are accounted for following APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for grants under the Stock Option Plan and $38 and $32 of compensation expense was recognized under the MRP for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards (the method described in FASB Statement No. 123), reported net income and earnings per common share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts shown below. 1998 1997 ---------------- Net income: As reported ......................... $ 345 $ 245 Proforma ............................ 302 193 Basic earnings per share: As reported ......................... $ 0.43 $ 0.28 Proforma ............................ 0.38 0.22 Diluted earning per share: As reported ......................... $ 0.42 $ 0.27 Proforma ............................ 0.37 0.21 The following table summarizes information about fixed stock options outstanding at September 30, 1998: Options Options Outstanding Exercisable ---------------------------------------------- Weighted Average Remaining Exercise Number Contractual Number Price Outstanding Life Exercisable - ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ 9.08 25,875 7.7 10,350 9.36 25,875 8.1 5,175 12.51 10,000 9.0 ---------------------------------------------- 61,750 8.1 15,525 ============================================== Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. The Bank is a 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 include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 1998 follows: Range of Rates Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total on Fixed Rate Commitments Commitments Commitments Commitments ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Commitment to extend credit: 1998 $ 275 $ 1,008 $ 1,283 8.25% - 11.5% 1997 330 933 1,263 8.25% - 11.25%
The Bank generally originates single-family residential loans within its primary lending area, Marion County. The Bank's underwriting policies require such fixed rate loans to be made at 80% loan-to-value and variable rate loans to be made at 85% loan-to-value based upon appraised values unless private mortgage insurance is obtained. These loans are secured by the underlying properties. The Company does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, futures, forwards or option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar characteristics. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
