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 March 31, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2004 compared to the same period 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 footnotes.

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 $318.3 million at March 31, 2004, compared to $306.2 million at December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $12.1 million or 3.9%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.5 million, or 32.2%, during the quarter, including a $4.7 million decrease in federal funds sold. Total securities increased approximately $12.0 million, or 17.8 %, during the quarter. Since one of the primary functions of the securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity, it is structured such that securities maturities and cash flows satisfy the Company’s liquidity needs and asset-liability management requirements.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, as well as the increase in federal funds purchased, were used to fund cash outflows for deposit withdrawals, as deposits decreased $9.5 million, or 3.8%, during the quarter. The Bank has historically experienced an outflow of deposit funds during the first quarter of the year, partially due to the slowdown in tourism. The Bank had $11.1 million of federal funds purchased at March 31, 2004 (none at December 31, 2003). Federal

funds purchased were used as a source to fund loan growth, as well as run off of certain interest-bearing deposits.

The increase in the investment portfolio was a result of a $10 million leverage program with the Company purchasing U.S. Agencies funded by Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings in March 2004. Management has determined any offset on interest rate risk as a result of the mismatch of maturities will be minimal and is compensated for in the current spread.

Net loans increased $5.0 million, or 2.4% from December 31, 2003, to $215.8 million at March 31, 2004. The loan growth in the first quarter of 2004 was primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in commercial and commercial real estate loans and a $2.3 million increase in mortgage and home equity loans. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.5 million, or 1.12% of total loans, at March 31, 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 loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, included a loan loss provision of $94,000 and net loan charge-offs of $100,000. Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest and loans placed on nonaccrual status, aggregated approximately $728,000, or 0.33% of total loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.63% of loans at December 31, 2003.

At March 31, 2004, the ratio of net loans to deposits was 90.1%, compared to 84.7% at the end of 2003. The increase in this ratio is due to deposit shrinkage normally experienced during the first quarter along with the loan growth during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $34.9 million, or 11.0% of total assets, primarily due to year-to-date net income of $521,000, less the dividend declared of $344,000. The Company and its subsidiary met all applicable regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 2004, was $521,000, or $0.20 per share, as compared to $598,000, or $0.23 per share during the same period in 2003, a decrease of $77,000, or 12.9%. The decrease was primarily due to a $94,000 provision for loan loss for the first three months of 2004 compared to a $71,000 credit for loan losses in the same period last year. Other changes included a $37,000 (1.4%), decrease in net interest income, a $78,000 (3.0%) decrease in non-interest expenses, and a $31,000 (6.7%) increase in non-interest income. The increase in non-interest income was primarily a result of a $26,000 gain on sale of securities in the first quarter of 2004.

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

Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $291,000, or 7.4%, over the same period last year. Interest and fees on loans decreased $180,000, or 5.7%. Interest on taxable securities decreased $21,000, or 7.3%, while interest on non-taxable securities decreased $83,000, or 17.2%. The average balance of non-taxable securities decreased $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2004. Other interest income decreased $6,000, or 67.9%, due to liquidation of federal funds sold to fund loan portfolio growth and deposit shrinkage.

Interest expense decreased $254,000, or 20.7%, to $972,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Interest expense on deposits decreased $193,000, or 18.7%, from the same period as last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 40 basis points in the average cost of deposits.

A provision for loan losses of $94,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2004 compared to a credit of $71,000 in the first quarter of the prior year. The provision is determined based on management’s analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses, including, but not limited to, loan growth, delinquencies, trends, and classified loans. The credit in 2003 was due to the payoff of classified assets.

Non-interest expenses decreased $78,000, or 3.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $50,000, or 3.8%; occupancy expense decreased $6,000, or 3.8%; professional and director fees increased $4,000, or 1.9%; and other expenses decreased $20,000, or 2.9%. The provision for income taxes was $65,000 during the first quarter of 2004, as compared to a provision of $81,000 for the first quarter of 2003.
