Where appropriate, the following discussion relating to Croghan Bancshares, Inc.
(referred to as "Croghan" or the "Corporation") contains the insights of
management into known events and trends that have or may be expected to have a
material effect on Croghan's operations and financial condition. The information
presented may also contain certain forward-looking statements regarding future
financial performance, which are not historical facts and which involve various
risks and uncertainties.

When or if used in any Securities and Exchange Commission filings, or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases: "anticipate",
"would be", "will allow", "intends to", "will likely result", "are expected to",
"will continue", "is anticipated", "is estimated", "is projected", or similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that include but are not
limited to: changes in economic conditions in the Corporation's market area,
changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates,
demand for loans in the Corporation's market area, and competition. All or some
of these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical
earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.

The Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises
readers that various factors including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in the levels of market interest rates, credit
and other risks associated with lending and investing activities, and
competitive and regulatory factors could affect the Corporation's financial
performance and cause the Corporation's actual results for future periods to
differ materially from those anticipated or projected. The Corporation does not
undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or
circumstances after the date of such statements.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Assets at March 31, 2003 totaled $386,092,000 compared to $387,330,000 at 2002
year end. The most substantial change in assets occurred in the federal funds
sold category which increased to $8,400,000 at March 31, 2003 compared to none
at year end. Total loans decreased to $278,584,000 from $287,951,000 at year end
and total deposits increased to $305,347,000 from $302,888,000 at year end.

Net income for the period ended March 31, 2003 was $1,321,000 or $.69 per common
share compared to $1,232,000 or $.64 per common share for the same period in
2002. Operating results in 2003 have been positively impacted by an increase in
non-interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.

DEPOSITS, LOANS, SECURITIES, AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total deposits at March 31, 2003 increased $2,459,000 or 0.8 percent from 2002
year end. The liquid deposit category (demand, savings, NOW and money market
deposit accounts) increased $1,976,000 and the time deposit category increased
$483,000. Even though there is active competition for core deposits from
traditional sources (e.g., other banks and credit unions) and non-traditional
sources (e.g., brokerage firms), Croghan has benefited from the apparent
consumer preference for the safety of FDIC-insured bank deposit products.



                                       7
<PAGE>

Total loans decreased $9,367,000 or 3.3 percent from 2002 year end. Every loan
category, except construction real estate loans, experienced a decline from 2002
year end. Much of the decline is attributed to the continued weakness in the
national and local economies. The economic climate seems to have produced
uncertainties that make businesses and consumers quite tentative about their
spending and borrowing plans.

Total securities increased just slightly, by $243,000, from 2002 year end. Given
the soft loan demand coupled with an increase in deposits, available funds have
been temporarily invested in highly liquid federal funds sold. As loan and
investment security opportunities arise throughout 2003, these available funds
will be deployed into those higher earning asset categories.

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2003 increased to $44,163,000 or $23.23 book
value per common share compared to $43,462,000 or $22.86 book value per common
share at December 31, 2002. The balance in stockholders' equity at March 31,
2003 included accumulated other comprehensive income consisting of net
unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale. At March 31,
2003, Croghan held $66,787,000 in available-for-sale securities with an
unrealized gain of $904,000, net of income taxes. This compares to 2002 year-end
holdings of $65,556,000 in available-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain
of $1,027,000, net of income taxes.

Beginning in February, 2002, Croghan instituted a stock buy-back program. This
program has subsequently been extended through August 1, 2003. Since the
inception of the program, a total of 14,400 shares have been repurchased as
treasury shares. The 12,588 treasury shares held as of March 31, 2003 and 13,207
shares held as of December 31, 2002 are reported at their acquired cost.
Consistent with the Corporation's quarterly dividend policy, a cash dividend of
$.27 per share was declared on March 11, 2003 payable on April 30, 2003.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, which represents the excess revenue generated from
interest-earning assets over the interest cost of funding those assets,
decreased $45,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same
period in 2002. The net interest yield (net interest income divided by average
earning assets) was 4.42 percent for the period ended March 31, 2003 compared to
4.75 percent for the period ended March 31, 2002. Continued downward pressure on
net interest yield is anticipated throughout the remainder of 2003.

</TABLE>

The provision for loan losses for the first three months of 2003 totaled
$115,000 compared to $240,000 for the same period in 2002. Actual net loan
charge offs were $227,000 for the first three months of 2003 compared to
$141,000 during the same period in 2002. The lower provision in 2003 resulted
from stabilizing trends within the loan portfolio coupled with a more moderate
outlook for the local and national economies.

Total problem or non-performing loans amounted to $11,503,000 at March 31, 2003
compared to $11,417,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $86,000 or 0.8%.
The various components of problem or non-performing loans are summarized in the
preceding table. Nonaccrual amounts include one nonresidential real estate loan
of $794,000 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Potential problem loan
totals include one nonresidential real estate loan with an outstanding balance
of $3,186,000 at March 31, 2003 and $3,221,000 at December 31, 2002. Both loans
are collateralized by commercial real estate with appraised values well in
excess of the loan amounts. Additionally, the potential problem loan is not
currently past due and, since origination, has never been more than 10 days past
due. All of the above-noted asset quality trends will continue to be monitored
throughout 2003 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 to provide for reasonably foreseeable losses and a loan review process is
conducted by an outside consulting firm to help achieve this objective. To
further strengthen the loan review function, Croghan added a Credit Analyst to
its staff in December, 2002. This additional staff member supplements the loan
review process and aids in the early identification of problem loans. The
combination of Croghan's loan policy, loan review process, and Credit Analyst
staff position work together to more readily identify problem loans and initiate
measures for resolution. Management considers the allowance at March 31, 2003 to
be adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $56,000 or 9.7 percent for the period ended
March 31, 2003



                                       9

compared to the same period in 2002. Trust department fee income decreased
slightly, by $3,000, between comparable periods and other operating income was
unchanged between comparable periods. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $59,000 or 26.1 percent between comparable periods. Much of the
increase can be attributed to fee adjustments for overdraft and non-sufficient
charges that became effective on April 1, 2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Total non-interest expenses increased $14,000 or 0.5 percent for the period
ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. Salaries, wages and
employee benefits increased $7,000 between comparable periods and other
operating expenses decreased $22,000 between comparable periods. Occupancy
expense of premises increased $29,000 or 19.7% between comparable periods. Much
of the increase can be attributed to the harsh 2003 winter, which resulted in
additional expenses for utilities and snow removal.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Federal income tax expense increased $33,000 or 5.9 percent between comparable
periods. This increase is primarily the result of a 6.8 percent increase in
Croghan's income before federal income taxes between comparable three-month
periods. The Corporation's effective tax rate for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2003 was 30.9 percent and remained comparable to the 31.2 percent for
the same period in 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

An average federal funds sold position of $6,779,000 was maintained for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003. This compares to $5,972,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and $7,359,000 for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2002.

Short-term borrowings of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements
averaged $8,258,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. This
compares to $9,030,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and
$9,535,000 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2002. Borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $25,500,000 at March 31, 2003 compared to
$26,500,000 at December 31, 2002.

Capital expenditures for premises and equipment totaled $161,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003. This compares to $102,000 for the same
period in 2002. Projected expenditures in 2003 include $325,000 for new
mainframe computer hardware and approximately $900,000 for upgrades to the Union
Square Banking Center in Bellevue, Ohio.
