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

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) at June 30, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations for the six month and quarterly periods ending June 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related footnote.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. When used herein, the terms “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “believes”, and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such material differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the financial services industry, changes in law, governmental policies and regulations, and rapidly changing technology affecting financial services.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $320.5 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $306.2 million at December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $14.3 million or 4.7%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.7 million, or 27.2%, during the six-month period ending June 30, 2004, due to a $4.7 million decrease in Federal funds sold. Total securities increased $9.9 million, or 14.5%, during the six month period. Federal funds purchased increased $13.3 million during the six-month period, while Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased $9.5 million during the period.

The increase in securities and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings resulted from a $10 million leverage program entered into during the first quarter of 2004. Increases of Federal funds purchased of $13.3 million and securities sold under repurchase agreements of $1.5 million during the six-month period were used to fund portions of the loan growth of $8.4 million (4.0%), as well as deposit shrinkage of $9.8 million (3.9%).

CSB BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net loans increased $8.4 million, or 4.0% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due to a combination of increased loan demand and production within the Company’s market area. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.6 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at June 30, 2004, compared to $2.5 million, or 1.15% of total loans at December 31, 2003. The components of the change in the allowance for loan losses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, included a provision of $173,000 and net loan charge-offs of $80,000. Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest and loans placed on nonaccrual status, aggregated $487,000, or 0.22% of total loans at June 30, 2004, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.63% of total loans at December 31, 2003.

At June 30, 2004, the ratio of net loans to deposits was 91.6%, compared to 84.7% at the end of 2003. The increase in this ratio is due to loan growth coupled with deposit shrinkage experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $34.6 million, or 10.8% of total assets, at June 30, 2004, compared to $34.7 million, or 11.3% of total assets, at December 31, 2003. The decrease in shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to the aggregate of dividends declared of $688,000 and the unrealized loss on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax, of $604,000, exceeding net income for the six-month period of $1.1 million. The Company and its subsidiary met all regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2004, was $1.1 million, or $0.43 per share, as compared to $1.2 million, or $0.44 per share during the same period in 2003. Net interest income was $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, remaining stable from the same period last year. Total non-interest expenses decreased $206,000, or 3.9%, for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period of 2003 while non-interest income increased $44,000, or 4.3%. These improvements in net income were partially offset by a change in the provision (credit) for loan losses of $224,000.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded net income of $607,000, or $0.23 per share, as compared to net income of $ 572,000, or $0.21 per share. The increase in net income for the quarter of $35,000 was principally due to a $27,000 increase in net interest income and a $128,000 decrease in non-interest expenses, offset by a $59,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $74,000 increase in the federal income tax provision.

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

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $7.4 million, a decrease of $485,000, or 6.1%, from the same period in 2003. Interest on securities decreased $67,000, or 4.4%, as short term interest rates fell and certain callable securities were called. Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $194,000, or 4.9%, compared to the same period in 2003. This decrease was due to the reasons previously noted.

Interest expense decreased $475,000 to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense on deposits decreased $376,000, or 18.8%, from the same period as last year, while interest expense on other borrowings decreased $100,000, or 24.0%. The decrease in deposit interest expense was caused by the lower rates on transaction accounts and certificates of deposit, as well as an overall decrease in average interest-bearing deposit balances. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $967,000, a decrease of $221,000, or 18.6%, from the same period in 2003.

The provision for loan losses was $173,000 during the first six months of 2004, as compared to a credit of $51,000 in the same six-month period of 2003. The provision or credit for loan losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses, which includes provisions for classified loans, as well as for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data, including past charge-offs, and current economic trends. The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $79,000, compared to a provision of $20,000 for the same quarter in 2003 for the reasons stated above.

Non-interest income increased $44,000, or 4.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $26,000 gain on sale of securities in 2004 and a $21,000, or 11.0%, increase in Trust and Financial Services. Non-interest expenses decreased $206,000, or 3.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $103,000, or 3.9%; occupancy expense decreased $10,000, or 2.9%; professional and director fees decreased $37,000, or 9.1%; and other expenses decreased $59,000, or 4.2%. The provision for income taxes was $192,000 (effective rate of 14.5%) for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $134,000 (effective rate of 10.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in the effective tax rate resulted from a decrease in tax-exempt interest income.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $572,000, an increase of $12,000, or 2.2%, compared to the same quarter in 2003. This increase was primarily due to trust and financial services as noted previously. Non-interest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased $128,000, or 4.8%, compared to last year’s period. This decrease was due to reasons previously noted.

Any authorization and approval required by this Subdivision C is in addition to any authorization and approval required by Subdivision B of this Article SIXTH.

D. Conditions and Requirements to Fair Price. All the following conditions and requirements must be satisfied in order for clause (1) of Subdivision C of this Article SIXTH to be applicable.

(1) The cash and Fair Market Value of the property, securities or other consideration to be received by the Independent Shareholders in the Business Combination per share for each class or series of capital stock of the Corporation must not be less than the sum of:

(i) the highest per share price (including brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, soliciting dealer's fees and similar payments) paid by the Interested Shareholder in acquiring any shares of such class or series, respectively, and, in the case of Preferred Stock, if greater, the amount of the per share redemption price; and

(ii) the amount, if any, by which interest on the per


share price, calculated at the Treasury Bill Rate from time to time in effect, from the date the Interested Shareholder first became an Interested Shareholder until the Business Combination has been consummated, exceeds the per share amount of cash dividends received by the Independent Shareholders during such period. The "Treasury Bill Rate" means for each calendar quarter, or part thereof, the interest rate of the last auction in the preceding calendar of 91-day United States Treasury Bills expressed as a bond equivalent yield.

For purposes of this paragraph (1) per share amounts shall be appropriately adjusted for any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reserve split, or other similar transaction. Any Business Combination which does not result in the Independent Shareholders receiving consideration for or in respect of their shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall not be treated as complying with the requirements of this paragraph (1).

(2) The form of the consideration to be received by the Independent Shareholders owning the Corporation's shares must be the same as was previously paid by the Interested Shareholder(s) for shares of the same class or series; provided, however, if the Interested Shareholder previously paid for shares of such class or series with different forms of consideration, the form of the consideration to be received by the Independent Shareholders owning shares of such class or series must be in the form as was previously paid by the Interested Shareholder in acquiring the largest number of shares of such class or series previously acquired by the Interested Shareholder, provided, further, in the event no shares of the same class or series had been previously acquired by the Interested Shareholder, the form of consideration must be cash. The provisions of this paragraph (2) are not intended to diminish the aggregate amount of cash and Fair Market Value of any other consideration that any holder of the Corporation's shares is otherwise entitled to receive upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, under the terms of any contract with the Corporation or an Interested Shareholder, or otherwise.

(3) From the date the Interested Shareholder first became


an Interested Shareholder until the Business Combination has been consummated, the following requirements must be complied with unless the Continuing Directors otherwise approve:

(i) the Interested Shareholder has not received, directly or indirectly, the benefit (except proportionately as a shareholder) of any loan, advance, guaranty, pledge, or other financial assistance, tax credit or deduction, or other benefit from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries;

(ii) there shall have been no failure to declare and pay in full, when and as due or scheduled, any dividends required to be paid or any class or series of the Corporation's shares;

(iii) there shall have been (a) no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on Common Shares of the Corporation (except as necessary to reflect any split of such shares), and (b) an increase in the annual rate of dividends as necessary to reflect reclassification (including a reverse split), recapitalization or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding Common Shares; and

(iv) there shall have been no amendment or other modification to any profit-sharing, employee stock ownership; employee stock purchase and savings, employee pension or other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, the effect of which is to change in any manner the provisions governing the voting of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation in or covered by such plan.

(4) A proxy or information statement describing the Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under it (or any subsequent provisions replacing that Act and the rules and regulations under it) has been mailed at least 30 days prior to the completion of the Business Combination to the holders of all outstanding Voting Stock. If deemed advisable by the Continuing Directors, the proxy or information statement shall contain a recommendation by the Continuing Directors as to the advisability (or inadvisability) of the Business Combination and/or an opinion by an investment


banking firm, selected by the Continuing Directors and retained at the expense of the Corporation, as to the fairness (or unfairness) of the Business Combination to the Independent Shareholders.

E. Other Applicable Voting Requirement. The affirmative votes or approvals required to be received from shareholders of the Corporation under Subdivisions B, C and H of this Article SIXTH are in addition to the vote of the holders of any class of shares of capital stock of the Corporation otherwise required by law, or by other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, or by the express terms of the shares of such class. The affirmative votes or approvals required to be received from shareholders of the Corporation under Subdivisions B, C and H of this Article SIXTH shall apply even though no vote or a lesser percentage vote, may be required by law, or by other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, or otherwise. Any authorization, approval or other action of the Continuing Directors under this Article SIXTH is in addition to any required authorization, approval or other action of the Board of Directors.

F. Continuing Directors. All actions required or permitted to be taken by the Continuing Directors shall be taken with or without a meeting by the vote or written consent of two-thirds of the Continuing Directors, regardless of whether the Continuing Directors constitute a quorum of the members of the Board of Directors then in office. In the event that the number of Continuing Directors is at any time less than five, all power and authority of the Continuing Directors under this Article SIXTH shall thereupon cease and terminate, including, without limitation, the authority of the Continuing Directors to authorize and approve a Business Combination under Subdivisions B and C of this Article SIXTH and to approve a successor Continuing Director. Two-thirds of the Continuing Directors shall have the power and duty, consistent with their fiduciary obligations, to determine for the purpose of this Article SIXTH, on the basis of information known to them:

(1) Whether any person is an Interested Shareholder;

(2) Whether any person is an Affiliate or Associate of another;

(3) Whether any person has an agreement, arrangement, or


understanding with another or is acting in concert with another; and

(4) The Fair Market Value of property, securities or other other consideration (other than cash).

The good faith determination of the Continuing Directors on such matters shall be binding and conclusive for purposes of this Article SIXTH.

G. Effect on Fiduciary Obligations of Interested Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Article SIXTH shall be construed to relieve any Interested Shareholder from any fiduciary obligations imposed by law.

H. Repeal. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage vote may be required by law or other provision of these Articles of Incorporation), the provisions of this Article SIXTH may not be repealed, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, unless:

(1) The Continuing Directors (for, if there is no Interested Shareholder, a majority vote of the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation) recommend such repeal, amendment, supplement or modification and such repeal, amendment or modification is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock or

(2) Such repeal, amendment, supplement or modification is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of (a) not less than 80% of the outstanding Voting Stock voting together as a single class, and (b) not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding Voting Stock held by all shareholders other than Interested Shareholders voting together as a single class.

I. Further Considerations to Effect Business Combination. No Business Combination shall be effected or consummated unless, in addition to the consideration set forth in Subdivisions B, C, D and E of this Article SIXTH, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including the Continuing Directors shall consider all of the following factors and any other factors which it (they) deem relevant:

(1) The Social and economic effects of the transaction on the


Corporation and its subsidiaries, employees, depositors, loan and other customers, creditors and other elements of the communities in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries operate or are located;

(2) The business and financial conditions and earnings prospects of the Interested Shareholder, including, but not limited to, debt service and other existing or likely financial obligations of the Interested Shareholder, including, but not limited to, debt service and other existing or likely financial obligations of the Interested Shareholder, and the possible effect on other elements of the communities in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries operate or are located, and

(3) The competence, experience and integrity of the Interested Shareholder and his (its) or their management.

SEVENTH: Shareholders of the Corporation shall not have any preemptive rights to purchase shares when issued by the Corporation.

EIGHTH: The Corporation shall indemnify its present and past Directors, officers, employees and agents, and such other persons as it shall have powers to indemnify, to the full extent permitted under, and subject to the limitations of, Title 17 of the Ohio Revised Code. Additionally, and subject to the limitations set forth below, the Corporation shall indemnify its present and past Directors for personal liability for monetary damages resulting from breach of their fiduciary duty as Directors. Notwithstanding the above, no indemnification for personal liability shall be provided for: (i) any breach of the Directors' duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholder; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) illegal distribution of dividends; and (iv) any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit.

A telegram, cablegram, wireless message or photogram appearing to have been transmitted by a shareholder, or a photograph, photostatic or equivalent reproduction of a writing appointing a proxy or proxies shall be a sufficient writing.

No appointment of a proxy shall be valid after the expiration eleven (11) months after it is made, unless the writing specifies the date on which it is to expire or the length of time it is to continue in force.

Section 8. Voting. At any meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder of the Corporation shall, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Regulations, be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of the corporation registered in his name on the books of the Corporation: (a) on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, notwithstanding the prior or subsequent sale, or other disposal of such share or shares or transfer of the same on the books of the Corporation on or after the record date; or (b) if no such record date shall have been fixed, then at the time of such meeting.

Section 9. Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be authorized or taken at any meeting of shareholders may be authorized or taken without a meeting in a writing or writings signed by all of the holders of shares who would be entitled to notice of a meeting of the shareholders held for such purpose. Such writing or writings shall be filed with or entered upon the records of the Corporation.

ARTICLE III
Directors

Section 1. Number of Directors. The number of Directors constituting the entire Board shall not be less than three (3) nor more than twenty-five (25), the exact number of Directors to be determined from time to time by a majority vote of the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation, or by a majority vote of stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting called for


such purpose, and such exact number shall be ten (10) until otherwise so determined; provided, however, that any increase or decrease in the number of Directors resulting from an action by a majority of the whole Board as herein provided for, shall be subject to a limitation of two persons in any one calendar year.

Section 2. Election and Term of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then total number of Directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each year. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and any Director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such Directors shall have been chosen and until their successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of Directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting.

Section 3. Nominations. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of the Corporation at a meeting of the Shareholders may be made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or may be made at a meeting of Shareholders by any Shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting who compiles with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3 of Article III. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a Shareholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal office of the Corporation not less than fourteen (14) days nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than twenty-one
(21) days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to Shareholders, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so delivered or


mailed no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day following the day on which day notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs, but in no event shall such timely notice of Shareholder nomination be received by the Secretary of the Corporation less than seven (7) days prior to the Shareholder meeting. Such Shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the persons, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, and (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the person and (b) as to the Shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of the Shareholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the Shareholder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as Director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation at a meeting of the Shareholders unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 4. Vacancies. In case of any vacancy in the Board of Directors, through death, resignation, disqualification, or other cause, the remaining Directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority thereof, may elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place is vacant until the election and qualification of his successor.

Section 5. Removal. No Director may be removed except: (i) upon the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than an eighty percent majority of the voting power of Shareholders qualified to vote at a meeting for the election of Directors or (ii) by the affirmative vote of eighty percent of the then current members of the Board of Directors, excluding the Director the subject of the


removal action, upon the determination by such Directors that the Director the subject of the removal action, is not legally qualified to serve as a Director.

Section 6. Retirement. Upon the attainment of age 75, a Director shall no longer be eligible for election to the Board of Directors but shall be eligible to complete the term for which such Director was elected.
