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%).

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.
