                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2004
                                   (Unaudited)

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

      The consolidated financial statements of Croghan Bancshares, Inc. ("the
      Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank
      ("the Bank"), have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of
      management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments)
      necessary to present fairly the Corporation's consolidated financial
      position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been omitted. The results of operations for the
      period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the
      operating results for the full year.

(2) Retirement Program

      In 1999, the Bank entered into split-dollar life insurance arrangements
      with six officers which included agreements to provide supplemental
      retirement benefits. Since 1999, the Bank has provided an estimated
      liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits under the
      agreements with such liability being estimated annually by an outside
      firm.

      In February 2004, bank regulators issued an advisory letter to all
      financial institutions regarding the accounting for deferred compensation
      agreements, especially those linked to bank-owned life insurance. As a
      result of detailed analyses and discussions with various parties, it was
      determined in June 2004 that the Bank's estimated liability for
      accumulated supplemental retirement benefits should be increased
      approximately $412,000 ($272,000 after income taxes). The adjustment,
      which represents a charge beyond the normal supplemental retirement
      benefit provision, was recorded in June 2004 and is reported separately in
      the September 30, 2004 consolidated statements of operations and results
      in a decrease in net income of $.14 per share. Because the adjustment is
      not considered material to the consolidated financial statements, prior
      period financial statements have not been restated.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Assets totaled $410,239,000 at September 30, 2004 compared to $402,773,000 at
2003 year end. Total loans increased to $314,589,000 at September 30, 2004
compared to $306,292,000 at 2003 year end. Total securities decreased to
$63,729,000 from $64,236,000 at 2003 year end and total deposits increased to
$319,285,000 from $312,407,000 at 2003 year end.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $1,234,000 or $.65 per
common share compared to $1,312,000 or $.69 per common share for the same period
in 2003. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was
$3,705,000 or $1.95 per common share compared to $4,063,000 or $2.14 per common
share for the same period in 2003. The September 30, 2004 year-to-date operating
results were negatively impacted by the additional provision of $412,000
($272,000 after income taxes) to adjust the accrual for supplemental retirement
plan benefits. This provision results in a decrease in 2004 net income per share
of $.14.

PENDING TRANSACTION

As noted in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 11, 2004, Croghan executed a definitive agreement on August 10, 2004 to
acquire The Custar State Bank ("Custar"). Under the terms of the agreement,
Croghan has agreed to pay $74.10 in cash in exchange for each outstanding common
share of Custar. As of September 30, 2004, Custar had 187,498 shares issued and
outstanding, resulting in an estimated cost of the transaction, before
acquisition costs, of $13,894,000.

                                        9

Custar currently operates one banking office in Custar, Ohio. Custar had total
assets as of June 30, 2004 of $52,910,000 and total equity of $9,176,000, with
net income of $492,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. A Merger
Application was filed with the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions
and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in September. It is anticipated that
both regulatory agencies will act upon the application during the fourth quarter
of 2004. Also during the fourth quarter of 2004, the shareholders of Custar are
scheduled to vote on a proposal to approve the transaction. Given positive
outcomes on these matters in a timely manner, the transaction is expected to
close near the end of 2004.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The following comments are based upon a comparison of Croghan's financial
position at September 30, 2004 to 2003 year end.

Total loans increased $8,297,000 or 2.7 percent from 2003 year end. Loan
categories experiencing growth from 2003 year end include a $6,802,000 increase
in residential real estate loans, a $4,398,000 increase in construction real
estate loans, and a $222,000 increase in nonresidential real estate loans. Loan
categories experiencing contraction from 2003 year end include a $2,754,000
decrease in commercial loans, a $195,000 decrease in consumer loans, and a
$176,000 decrease in credit card loans.

Total deposits increased $6,878,000 or 2.2 percent from 2003 year end. The
liquid deposit category (demand, savings, NOW and money market deposit accounts)
increased $6,379,000 or 3.6 percent and the time deposit category increased
$499,000 or 0.4 percent. The competition for core deposits from traditional
sources (e.g., other banks and credit unions) and non-traditional sources (e.g.,
brokerage firms) remains very strong. Croghan continuously monitors its deposit
growth needs to fund ongoing loan demand in relation to the necessary deposit
pricing structure to aid improvements in interest margin.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2004 increased to $48,350,000 or $25.47
book value per common share compared to $46,196,000 or $24.32 book value per
common share at December 31, 2003. The balance in stockholders' equity for both
periods included accumulated other comprehensive income consisting of net
unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale. At September
30, 2004, Croghan held $59,532,000 in available-for-sale securities with an
unrealized gain of $530,000, net of income taxes. This compares to 2003 year-end
holdings of $59,261,000 in available-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain
of $434,000, net of income taxes.

Beginning in February, 2002, Croghan instituted a stock buy-back program, which
has subsequently been extended through February 1, 2005. Since the inception of
the program, a total of 19,100 shares have been repurchased as treasury shares.
The 15,812 remaining treasury shares held as of September 30, 2004 and 14,355
shares held as of December 31, 2003 are reported at their acquired cost.
Consistent with the Corporation's quarterly dividend policy, a cash dividend of
$.28 per share was declared on September 14, 2004 payable on October 29, 2004.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, which represents the excess revenue generated from
interest-earning assets over the interest cost of funding those assets,
increased $119,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the
same period in 2003, and increased $118,000 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

The net interest yield (net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets) was 4.22

                                       10
<PAGE>

percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to 4.27 percent for
the same period in 2003. Net interest yield was 4.22 percent for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2004 compared to 4.32 percent for the same period in
2003.

It is anticipated that as future economic conditions improve, both market
interest rates and managed interest rates will likely increase. Three such
managed interest rate increases, totaling 75 basis points, have been instituted
by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee since June 30, 2004. These gradual
managed interest rate increases help to relieve some of the pressure on interest
margin and afford some opportunity for improvement in net interest income. The
magnitude and timing of any further increases is unknown and thus their effect
on interest margin cannot be accurately determined.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Croghan's comprehensive loan policy provides guidelines for managing credit risk
and asset quality. The policy details acceptable lending practices, establishes
loan-grading classifications, and stipulates the use of a loan review process.
Croghan employs an on-staff Credit Analyst and Credit Analyst Assistant to help
facilitate the early identification of problem loans, to aid in making sound
credit decisions, and to assist in the determination of the allowance for loan
losses. Croghan also employs an outside credit review firm to supplement the
credit analysis function and provide an independent assessment of the loan
review process. Croghan's loan policy, loan review process, and credit analysis
team strive to minimize the uncertainties associated with the lending function
and aid in more readily identifying problem loans so appropriate resolution
measures can be initiated.

loan losses for the periods noted:

The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2004 totaled $510,000
compared to $320,000 for the same period in 2003. Actual net loan charge-offs
decreased to $461,000 for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $576,000
during the same period in 2003. Total potential problem and non-performing
loans, which are summarized in the preceding table, increased $865,000 or 5.0
percent to $18,002,000 at September 30, 2004 compared to $17,137,000 at December
31, 2003. Positive trends included a decrease in nonaccrual loans of $319,000
between periods and a decrease in loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest of $523,000 between periods. The negative trend was an
increase of $1,707,000 in potential problem loans, other than those past due 90
days or more, nonaccrual, or restructured.

Croghan typically classifies a loan as a potential problem loan, regardless of
its collateralization or any contractually obligated guarantors, when a review
of the borrower's financial statements indicates that the borrowing entity does
not generate sufficient operating cash flow to adequately service its debts. The
above-noted potential problem loans at September 30, 2004 are currently
performing loans and a majority are collateralized by an interest in real
property.

of Croghan's potential problem loans as of September 30, 2004 (dollars in
thousands):

</TABLE>

The above-noted asset quality trends will continue to be monitored throughout
2004 to ensure adequate provisions for loan losses are made in a timely manner.
It is the Corporation's policy to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a
level sufficient to provide for reasonably foreseeable losses. Management
considers the allowance at September 30, 2004 to be adequate to provide for
those losses identified as well as those losses inherent within the loan
portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $64,000 or 9.2 percent for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003, and increased $63,000 or
2.9 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the
same period in 2003. Included in year-to-date

                                       12
<PAGE>

non-interest income were gains from the sale of securities of $93,000 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to $165,000 in reported
gains for the comparable 2003 period. The gains were realized upon the sale of
U.S. Government Agency securities with approximately one year remaining until
their stated final maturity. Alternative U.S. Government Agency securities
maturing over longer time horizons (i.e., three to five years) were purchased to
replace those securities that were sold. All of the securities sold were from
the available-for-sale portfolio.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Total non-interest expenses increased $170,000 or 6.6 percent for the quarter
ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003, and increased
$624,000 or 8.1 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 as
compared to the same period in 2003.

The most significant change in non-interest expenses for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2004 was a $412,000 additional provision for supplemental
retirement benefits. This provision is more fully discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements and relates to an advisory letter issued by bank regulators
pertaining to the accounting for deferred compensation agreements. Based upon
the regulators' position and after extensive analyses and discussions with
various external professionals, it was determined in June 2004 that the
estimated liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits should be
increased $412,000 ($272,000 after income taxes). This non-recurring adjustment
is over and above Croghan's normal supplemental retirement benefit provision and
results in a decrease in 2004 net income per share of $.14.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $126,000 or 8.8 percent between
comparable quarterly periods and $260,000 or 6.1 percent between comparable
nine-month periods. Occupancy of premises expense increased $7,000 or 4.5
percent between comparable quarterly periods and decreased $16,000 or 3.2
percent between comparable nine-month periods. Other operating expenses
increased $37,000 or 3.7 percent between comparable quarterly periods and
decreased $32,000 or 1.1 percent between comparable nine-month periods.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Federal income tax expense decreased $64,000 or 11.1 percent between comparable
quarterly periods and $275,000 or 15.1 percent between comparable nine-month
periods. The decreases are directly related to lower income before federal
income taxes in both periods. The Corporation's effective tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 was 29.4 percent compared to 30.9 percent for
the same period in 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Short-term borrowings of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements
averaged $11,666,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. This
compares to $8,953,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and

and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act

executive officer and treasurer have concluded that:

      management, including its chief executive officer and treasurer, as

(b)   information required to be disclosed by Croghan in this Quarterly Report
      on Form 10-Q would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
      the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and

(c)   Croghan's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end
      of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that
      material information relating to Croghan and its consolidated subsidiaries
      is made known to them, particularly during the period for which our
      periodic reports, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are being
      prepared.

10-Q in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
