PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”), was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on September 27, 1983, and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). As the result of a reorganization effective in 1984, the Corporation acquired all of the voting shares of The Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Bank”), an Ohio chartered bank organized in 1888. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Corporation and substantially all of the Corporation’s operations are conducted through the Bank. The principal offices of both the Corporation and the Bank are located at 323 Croghan Street, Fremont, Ohio. The Bank operates ten Ohio branch offices: one in Bellevue, one in Clyde, one in Custar, three in Fremont, one in Green Springs, one in Monroeville, one in Norwalk, and one in Port Clinton. Effective January 1, 2005, the Corporation acquired The Custar State Bank (“Custar”) with one banking office in Custar, Ohio and assets of $50,536,000 at the time of the acquisition.

The Corporation maintains a website at www.croghan.com (this uniform resource locator, or URL, is an inactive textual reference only and is not intended to incorporate the Corporation’s website into this Annual Report on Form 10-K). The Corporation makes available free of charge on or through its website, its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Corporation electronically files such material with, or furnishes such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Through the Bank, the Corporation operates in one industry segment — the commercial banking industry. The Bank conducts a general banking business embracing the usual functions of commercial, retail, and savings banking, including time, savings, money market and demand deposits; commercial, industrial, agricultural, real estate, consumer installment and credit card lending; safe deposit box rental; automatic teller machines; trust department services; and other services tailored for individual customers. The Bank originates and services secured and unsecured loans to individuals, firms and corporations. Direct loans are made to individuals and installment obligations are purchased from retailers, both with and without recourse. The Bank makes a variety of residential, industrial, commercial and agricultural loans secured by real estate, including interim construction financing. Additionally, investment products bearing no FDIC insurance are offered through the Bank’s Trust and Investment Services Division.

Interest and fees on loans are the Bank’s primary sources of income. The Bank’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowed funds, and personnel and operating costs. Operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the “net interest income” of the Bank, which is the difference between the interest income derived from its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. Interest income and interest expense are significantly affected by general economic conditions and the policies of various regulatory authorities. See “EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY” on page 20 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Corporation’s only sources of funds are dividends and interest paid by the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles. See “DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS” beginning on page 19 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). The deposits of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and, therefore, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the FDIC. As a bank incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, the Bank also is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Division of Financial Institutions of the Ohio Department of Commerce (the “Division”). See “REGULATION AND SUPERVISION” beginning on page 17, and “REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS” beginning on page 18 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Because the Corporation’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of the Bank, the following discussion of operations focuses primarily on the business of the Bank. The following discussion encompasses only domestic operations since neither the Corporation nor the Bank have any foreign operations or foreign loans.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

General. As a commercial bank, the Bank makes a wide variety of different types of loans. Among the Bank’s lending activities are the origination of commercial, financial and agricultural loans, which may be secured by various assets of the borrower or unsecured; loans secured by mortgages on residential and non-residential real estate; construction loans secured by mortgages on the underlying property; consumer loans which may be on an unsecured basis or secured by vehicles or other assets of the borrower; and credit card loans which are typically unsecured.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated:

	December 31,
	2007		2006		2005		2004		2003
	(Dollars in thousands)
Type of Loan: (1)
Commercial, financial and agricultural (2)	$	38,057	$	42,846	$	40,358	$	41,970	$	39,814
Real estate — mortgage		282,407		277,085		255,418		223,185		213,402
Real estate — construction		11,427		13,467		13,641		17,515		11,564
Consumer		15,838		21,111		28,764		36,992		38,705
Credit card and other		2,785		2,769		2,729		2,827		2,807
	$	350,514	$	357,278	$	340,910	$	322,489	$	306,292

(1)	The Bank made no foreign loans in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 or 2003.
(2)	Lease financing receivables, included in commercial, financial and agricultural, were $1,268,000 in 2007, $1,721,000 in 2006, $1,635,000 in 2005, $1,806,000 in 2004 and $1,986,000 in 2003.

Loan Maturity Schedule. The following table sets forth certain information, as of December 31, 2007, regarding the dollar amount of loans maturing in the Bank’s portfolio based on their contractual terms to maturity and the dollar amount of such loans that have fixed or variable rates within certain maturity ranges after 2007:

	Maturing
			After one
	Within		but within		After
	one year		five years		five years		Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial, financial and agricultural	$	3,489	$	18,515	$	16,053	$	38,057
Real estate — construction		3,928		1,800		5,699		11,427
Total	$	7,417	$	20,315	$	21,752	$	49,484

Due after one but within five years		$  6,843		$13,472
Due after five years		5,212		16,540
		$12,055		$30,012

The above maturity information is based on the contract terms at December 31, 2007, and does not include any possible “rollover” at maturity date. In the normal course of business, the Bank considers and acts upon the borrower’s request for renewal of a loan at maturity. Evaluation of such a request includes a review of the borrower’s credit history, the collateral securing the loan, and the purpose for such request.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Loans. The Bank makes loans for commercial purposes, including industrial and professional purposes, to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other business enterprises. The Bank makes financial loans to banks and other financial institutions and financial intermediaries whose business is to accept deposits and extend credit. The Bank makes agricultural loans for the purpose of financing agricultural production, including all costs associated with growing crops or raising livestock. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, requiring one single repayment or on an installment repayment schedule. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans generally have final maturities of five years or less and are made with interest rates that adjust either daily or annually based upon the national prime rate in effect at the time of the applicable rate change. Such loans typically do not contain any periodic rate adjustment caps or lifetime rate caps.

Commercial lending involves certain risks relating to changes in local and national economic conditions and the resulting effect on the borrowing entities. Such loans are subject to greater risk of default during periods of adverse economic conditions. Because such loans may be secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets, the collateral may not be sufficient to ensure full payment of the loan in the event of a default. To reduce such risk, the Bank may obtain the personal guarantees of one or more of the principals of the borrowers.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $38,057,000, or 10.9% of total loans, invested in commercial, financial and agricultural loans, of which $1,383,000 were non-performing loans (i.e., those loans in nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more).

Real Estate — Mortgage Loans. The Bank makes non-residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages and/or junior mortgages on non-residential real estate, including retail stores, office buildings, warehouses and apartment buildings, and residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residences, with a majority being single-family residences.

Non-Residential Real Estate Loans. The Bank’s non-residential real estate loans generally have final maturities of between 10 and 20 years and are typically made with adjustable interest rates (“ARMs”). Interest rates on the ARMs adjust either daily, annually, every three years or every five years based upon the national prime or U.S. Treasury Note rates in effect at the time of the applicable rate change. Such loans typically do not contain periodic rate adjustment caps or lifetime rate caps.

The Bank limits the amount of each non-residential real estate loan in relationship to the appraised value of the real estate and improvements at the time of origination of such loans. The maximum loan-to-value ratio (the “LTV”) on non-residential real estate loans made by the Bank is 80%, subject to certain exceptions.

Non-residential real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than residential lending. Such risk is due primarily to the dependence of the borrower on the cash flow from the property to service the loan. If the cash flow from the property is reduced due to a downturn in the economy for example, or due to any other reason, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. To reduce such risk, the decision to underwrite a non-residential real estate loan is based primarily on the quality and characteristics of the income stream generated by the property and/or the business of the borrower. In addition, the Bank may obtain the personal guarantees of one or more of the principals of the borrower and carefully evaluates the location of the real estate, the quality of the management operating the property, the debt service ratio, and appraisals supporting the property’s valuation.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $135,743,000, or 38.7% of total loans, invested in non-residential real estate loans, a majority of which were secured by properties located in the Northwestern Ohio area. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $458,000 of non-performing loans of this type.

Residential Real Estate Loans. The Bank’s residential real estate loans have either fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interest rates on ARMs adjust every six months or every five years based upon the national prime rate in effect at the time of the applicable rate change. The six-month ARMs typically have periodic adjustment caps of .5% and lifetime caps of 5%. The five-year ARMs typically have periodic adjustment caps of 1% and lifetime caps of 3%. The maximum amortization period for such loans is 30 years, although a 20-year term is the most common. The Bank does not engage in the practice of deeply discounting the initial rates on such loans, nor does the Bank engage in the practice of putting payment caps on loans which could lead to negative amortization. In addition to a fixed-rate loan program, where the loan is retained and serviced by the Bank, loans are also originated on behalf of a national provider of residential mortgage loan products. The provider pays a commission to the Bank at the time of closing and then typically sells such loans in the secondary market (e.g., to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae) while retaining the servicing and related support functions (e.g., tax reporting and escrow accounting). The establishment of this arrangement allows the Bank to maintain its customer relationships by providing very competitive residential real estate loan offerings, while at the same time eliminating the risks associated with long-term fixed-rate mortgage loan financing.

The Bank limits the amount of each residential real estate loan in relationship to the appraised value of the real estate and improvements at the time of origination of a residential real estate loan. The maximum LTV on residential real estate loans made by the Bank is 90%, subject to certain exceptions.

The Bank’s residential real estate loans amounted to $146,664,000 at December 31, 2007, which represented 41.8% of total loans. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $607,000 of non-performing loans of this type.

Real Estate — Construction Loans. The Bank makes construction loans to finance land development prior to erecting new structures and the construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. During the construction period, these loans are structured with either fixed rates or adjustable rates of interest tied to changes in the national prime interest rate. Many of the construction loans originated by the Bank are made to owner-occupants for the construction of single-family homes. Other loans are made to builders and developers for various projects, including the construction of homes and other buildings that have not been pre-sold, and the preparation of land for site and project development.

Construction loans involve greater underwriting and default risks than do loans secured by mortgages on improved and developed properties due to the effects of general economic conditions on real estate developments, developers, managers, and builders. In addition, such loans are more difficult to evaluate and monitor. Loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction, which is more difficult to value before the completion of construction. Moreover, because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, it is relatively difficult to accurately evaluate the LTVs and the total loan funds required to complete a project. In the event that a default or foreclosure on a construction or land development loan occurs, the Bank must take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or dispose of the unfinished project.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank’s construction loans amounted to $11,427,000, or 3.3% of total loans, with no such loans in the non-performing category.

Consumer Loans. The Bank makes a variety of consumer loans to individuals for family, household and other personal expenditures. These loans often are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of vehicles, furniture, educational expenses, medical expenses, taxes, or vacation expenses. Consumer loans may be secured, other than by real estate, or unsecured, generally requiring repayment on an installment repayment schedule.

Consumer loans involve a higher risk of default than residential real estate loans, particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets, such as vehicles. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage or depreciation, and the remaining deficiency may not warrant further collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness, or personal bankruptcy. Various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may also limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $15,838,000, or 4.5% of total loans, invested in consumer loans, $1,000 of which were non-performing.

Credit Card and Other Loans. Credit card and other loans are made to individuals for personal expenditures and principally arise from bank credit cards. Such loans generally pose the most risk as they are most frequently unsecured.

7

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $2,785,000, or 0.8% of total loans, invested in credit card and other loans, $7,000 of which were non-performing.

Loan Solicitation and Processing. The Bank’s loan originations are developed from a number of sources, including continuing business with depositors, borrowers and real estate developers, periodic newspaper and radio advertisements, solicitations by the Bank’s lending staff, walk-in customers, director referrals, and loan participations purchased from other financial institutions. For non-residential real estate loans, the Bank obtains information with respect to the credit and business history of the borrower and prior projects completed by the borrower. Personal guarantees of one or more principals of the borrower are obtained as deemed necessary. An environmental study of the real estate might also be conducted when deemed necessary. Upon the completion of the appraisal of the non-residential real estate and the receipt of information on the borrower, the loan application may be submitted to the Loan Committee for approval or rejection if the loan amount is in excess of established limits contained in the Bank’s Loan Policy. Additionally, loans in material amounts as established in the Bank’s Loan Policy must be submitted to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for approval or rejection.

In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank may obtain a credit report, verification of employment and other documentation concerning the creditworthiness of the borrower. An appraisal of the fair market value of the real estate on which the Bank will be granted a mortgage to secure the loan is generally prepared by an independent appraiser approved by the Board of Directors. An environmental study of the real estate is conducted only if the appraiser has reason to believe that an environmental problem may exist. When either a residential or non-residential real estate loan application is approved, a lawyer’s opinion of title or title insurance is obtained with respect to the real estate which will secure the loan. Borrowers are required to carry satisfactory fire and casualty insurance and flood insurance, if applicable, and to name the Bank as an insured mortgagee.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are underwritten primarily on the basis of the stability of the income generated by the business and/or property. The personal guarantees of one or more principals of the borrower also are generally obtained. Consumer loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s credit history and an analysis of the borrower’s income and expenses, ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral, if any. The procedure for approval of real estate — construction loans is the same as for real estate – mortgage loans, except that an appraiser evaluates the building plans, construction specifications and estimates of construction costs. The Bank also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction project and the experience and record of the builder.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. The Bank realizes loan origination fees and other fee income from its lending activities and also realizes income from late payment charges, application fees, and fees for other miscellaneous services. Loan origination fees and other fees are a volatile source of income, varying with the volume of lending, loan repayments and general economic conditions. Nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the related loan.

Delinquent Loans, Non-Performing Assets, and Classified Assets. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank attempts to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly as a result of these collection efforts.

When a borrower fails to make a timely payment, the borrower will receive a series of scheduled delinquency notices and possibly follow-up calls from an employee of the Bank. In most cases, delinquencies are paid promptly. Generally, if a real estate loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the borrower and collateral will be assessed to determine whether foreclosure action is required. When deemed appropriate by management, a foreclosure action will be instituted or a deed in lieu of foreclosure will be pursued.

Loans are placed into nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and interest is unlikely. Under-collateralized loans are then fully or partially charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and interest is recognized on a cash basis where future collections of principal are probable.

The following table presents information concerning the amount of loans which contain certain risk elements at the dates indicated:

	December 31,
	2007		2006		2005		2004		2003
	(Dollars in thousands)
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (1)	$	2,285	$	3,795	$	3,872	$	933	$	1,589
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing interest (2)		237		716		561		459		904
Loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower (3)		0		0		0		0		0

(1)	The amount of interest income that would have been recorded had all nonaccrual and renegotiated (of the type specified above) loans been current in accordance with their terms approximated $44,000 in 2007, $305,000 in 2006, $151,000 in 2005, $90,000 in 2004 and $153,000 in 2003. Actual interest included in income on these loans amounted to $176,000 in 2007, none in 2006 and 2005, $19,000 in 2004 and $125,000 in 2003.
(2)	Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis.
(3)	Excludes loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments.

In addition to the loan amounts identified in the preceding table, there were $9,405,000 of potential problem loans at December 31, 2007. While these loans are all currently performing, management has some doubt about the ability of the borrowers to continue to comply with all of their present loan repayment terms. Management 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 the borrowing entity does not generate sufficient operating cash flow to adequately service its debts.

The Bank’s loans are spread over a broad range of industrial classifications. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank had no significant concentrations of loans (i.e., greater that 10% of total loans) to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for loans that might not be repaid. At December 31, 2007, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses totaled $3,358,000. To determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Bank performs a detailed quarterly analysis that focuses on delinquency trends within each loan category (i.e., commercial, real estate and consumer loans), the status of non-performing loans (i.e., impaired, nonaccrual and restructured loans, and loans past due 90 days or more), current and historic trends of charged-off loans within each category, existing local and national economic conditions, and changes in the volume and mix within each loan category. Additionally, loans that are identified as impaired are individually evaluated and specific reserves provided to the extent the loan amount exceeds anticipated future cash flows, including cash flows from the sale of the underlying collateral.

Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination. The regulatory agencies that periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses may also require adjustments to the allowance or the charge-off of specific loans based upon the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The amount of charge-offs and recoveries fluctuate from year to year due to factors relating to the condition of the general economy and specific business segments. With the exception of one real estate-mortgage write-down for $100,000 in 2003, the largest individual charge-off in 2003 totaled $42,000 and the largest individual recovery totaled $17,000. With the exception of one real estate-mortgage write-down for $62,000 in 2004, the largest individual charge-off in 2004 totaled $48,000 and the largest individual recovery totaled $17,000. The 2005 charge-offs and recoveries did not include any significant individual amounts, with the largest charge-off totaling $29,000 and the largest recovery totaling $13,000. With the exception of one commercial loan charge-off for $63,000 in 2006, the largest individual write-down in 2006 totaled $48,000 and the largest individual recovery totaled $14,000. During 2007 there were five real estate charge-offs exceeding $25,000 with the largest charge-off being $67,000 and the aggregate being $213,000, and one consumer loan charge-off of $28,000. Otherwise, there were no individual charge-offs or recoveries exceeding $25,000 during 2007. There were no lease financing charge-offs or recoveries in any of the years presented.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, the Corporation announced that it expects a provision for loan and lease losses of approximately $650,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. The increase in the loan loss provision expense resulted from the deterioration of one large commercial loan account which was charged-off during the first quarter. Historically, the Bank has experienced relatively low charge-offs within its commercial loan portfolio. Other than this one commercial loan charge-off, the Bank’s charge-offs for the first quarter are expected to be within historical charge-off levels. The Bank will continue to monitor the credit quality of its entire loan portfolio to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

The Bank decreased its allowance for loan losses to $3,358,000 at December 31, 2007 from $3,600,000 at December 31, 2006. Because the loan loss allowance is based on estimates, it is monitored on an ongoing basis and adjusted as necessary to provide an adequate allowance.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

The Bank’s investment policy is designed to effectively utilize excess funds and to provide for liquidity needs as dictated by loan demand and daily operations. The Bank’s federal income tax position is also a consideration in its investment decisions. Investments in tax-exempt securities with maturities of less than 20 years are often desirable when the net yield exceeds that of taxable securities and the Bank’s effective tax rate warrants such investments.

The following table sets forth the carrying amount of securities, which are presented on the basis of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005:

DEPOSITS AND BORROWINGS

General. Deposits have traditionally been the Bank’s primary funding source for use in lending and other investment activities. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from interest and principal repayments on loans and income from other earning assets. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows tend to fluctuate in response to economic conditions and interest rates. The Bank has established lines of credit with its major correspondent banks to purchase federal funds to meet liquidity needs. At December 31, 2007, the Bank did not have any federal funds purchased.

The Bank also uses retail repurchase agreements as a source of funds. These agreements essentially represent borrowings by the Bank from customers with maturities of three months or less. Certain securities are pledged as collateral for these agreements. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $11,106,000 in retail repurchase agreements.

During 2007, the Corporation repaid the remaining outstanding balance of a term loan, originated on January 1, 2005 to affect the purchase of Custar. Neither the Corporation nor the Bank had any capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2007. The Bank had future operating lease obligations totaling $209,000 at December 31, 2007 related to the following lease arrangements: the Port Clinton banking center, which is located in a retail supermarket in the Knollcrest Shopping Center; the new Norwalk banking center which is located at 60 Whittlesey Street, an ATM site north of Fremont; and the vacated Norwalk banking center located in the downtown business district. Additionally, the Bank has various future operating lease obligations aggregating less than $75,000 at December 31, 2007, for photocopying and mail processing equipment.

Deposits. Deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank’s designated market area by offering a variety of deposit instruments, including regular savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts, money market deposit accounts, term certificate accounts, and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees, and withdrawal penalties for the various types of accounts are established periodically by the Bank’s management based on the Bank’s liquidity requirements, growth goals, and market trends. The Bank does not use brokers to attract deposits. The amount of deposits from outside the Bank’s market area is not significant.

The average daily amount of deposits (all in domestic offices) and average rates paid on such deposits are summarized for 2007, 2006 and 2005 in the following table:

	2007					2006					2005

Over 6 through 12 months		13,727
Over 12 months		3,874
Total	$	36,975

Borrowings. In addition to repurchase agreements, the Bank has agreements with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds as needed to meet daily liquidity needs. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) since 1993, the Bank is authorized to obtain advances from the FHLB provided certain credit standards are met. The Bank had $24,500,000 in FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2007.

The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance for the Bank’s outstanding short-term borrowings (i.e., federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements), along with the average aggregate balances and weighted average interest rates, for 2007, 2006 and 2005:

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Bank’s earnings are highly dependent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income derived from interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. Interest rate risk is one of the Bank’s most significant financial exposures. This risk, which is common to the financial institution sector, is an integral part of the Bank’s operations and impacts the rate-pricing strategy for essentially all loan and deposit products.

The Bank monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity analysis, which strives to measure potential changes in future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that could result from hypothetical changes in interest rates. The first step in this analysis is to estimate the expected cash flows from the Bank’s financial instruments using the interest rates in effect at December 31, 2007. To arrive at fair value estimates, the cash flows from the Bank’s financial instruments are discounted to their approximated present values. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are applied to those financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair value estimates are then simulated. When calculating the net interest income estimations, hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based upon the assumed cash flows. The Bank applies interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments of 100 and 200 basis points (1% and 2%) up and down for its net interest income, and 200 basis points (2%) up and down for the value of its equity.

The following table presents the potential sensitivity in the Bank’s annual net interest income to 100 and 200 basis-point changes in market interest rates and the potential sensitivity in the present value of the Bank’s equity if a sudden and sustained 200 basis-point change in market interest rates occurred (dollars in thousands):

	December 31, 2007
	Change in Dollars ($)			Change in Percent (%)
Annual Net Interest Income Impact
For a Change of +100 Basis Points		(1,098	)		(6.4	)
For a Change of - 100 Basis Points		204			1.2
For a Change of +200 Basis Points		(2,213	)		(12.9	)
For a Change of - 200 Basis Points		(390	)		(2.3	)
Impact on the Net Present Value of Equity
For a Change of +200 Basis Points		(4,193	)		(6.9	)
For a Change of - 200 Basis Points		(959	)		(1.6	)

The preceding analysis encompasses the use of a variety of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and the possible reaction of depositors to changes in interest rates. The analysis simulates possible outcomes and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Additionally, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all of the actions that the Bank could undertake in response to changes in market interest rates.

COMPETITION

The Bank has active competition in all areas in which it engages. The Bank competes for commercial and individual deposits and/or loans with other commercial banks in Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Wood counties in Northwestern Ohio, as well as with savings and loan associations in the trade area, credit unions, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and loan production offices and other financial units of non-local bank holding companies. Competition is affected by, among other things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and other factors that are not readily predictable. The Bank focuses on personalized service, convenience of facilities, pricing of products, community stature, and its local ownership and control in meeting its competition.

The number of financial institutions competing with the Bank is likely to increase as a result of changes in statutes and regulations eliminating various restrictions on interstate and inter-industry branching and acquisitions. Such increased competition may have an adverse effect upon the Bank.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES

The Corporation’s only subsidiary is the Bank. The Bank has no subsidiaries.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2007, the Bank employed 141 full-time employees and 23 part-time employees. The Bank believes that relations with its employees are excellent. The Bank provides a variety of benefits to full-time employees, including health, disability, and life insurance benefits.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Corporation is registered as a bank holding company under the BHCA. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file periodic reports with, and is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by, the FRB. Such examination by the FRB determines whether the Corporation is operating in accordance with various regulatory requirements and in a safe and sound manner.

The FRB has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders, and require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries. In general, the FRB may initiate enforcement actions for activities that are deemed by the FRB to constitute a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a bank holding company, that are inconsistent with sound banking principles, or that are in violation of law. Further, Section 106 of the 1970 Amendments to the BHCA prohibits bank holding companies and their subsidiaries from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or lease or sale of any property or the furnishing of services.

The BHCA requires a bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before (a) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, (b) merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company, or (c) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any other bank, if after such acquisition, the bank holding company would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. In making such determinations, the FRB considers the effect of the acquisition on competition, the financial and managerial resources of the holding company, and the convenience and needs of the affected communities.

The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any activities other than banking or managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. The primary exception to this prohibition allows a bank holding company to own shares in any company the activities of which the FRB has determined, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

In November 1999, the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), was enacted to permit bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company.

No regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The GLB Act defines “financial in nature” to include:

• securities underwriting, dealing and market making;

• sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;

• insurance underwriting and agency;

• merchant banking activities; and

• activities that the FRB has determined to be closely related to banking.

Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the financial-in-nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better.

17

The Corporation has not elected to become a financial holding company at this time, but intends to periodically re-evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a financial holding company.

As an Ohio-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Division. Chapter 1109 of the Ohio Revised Code imposes limitations on the amount of certain types of loans and other investments that an Ohio-chartered bank is permitted to make. In addition, the aggregate amount that an Ohio-chartered bank can lend to any one borrower is limited by Ohio law to an amount equal to 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital. An Ohio-chartered bank may lend to one borrower an additional amount not to exceed 10% of the institution’s unimpaired capital, if the additional amount is fully secured by certain forms of “readily marketable collateral.” Real estate is not considered “readily marketable collateral.”

The Division conducts periodic examinations of the Bank, often times on a joint basis with the FRB examiners. The Division may initiate certain supervisory measures or formal enforcement actions against an Ohio-chartered bank. Ultimately, if the grounds provided by law exist, the Division may place an Ohio-chartered bank in conservatorship or receivership. Any mergers, acquisitions or changes of control involving an Ohio-chartered bank must be approved by the Division.

In addition to Ohio laws relating to banks, the Bank is subject to the Ohio general corporation law to the extent such law does not conflict with the laws specifically governing banks.

The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FRB. The FRB issues regulations governing the operations of state member banks, examines state member banks and may initiate enforcement actions against state member banks and certain persons affiliated with them for violations of laws and regulations or for engaging in unsafe or unsound practices. If the grounds provided by law exist, the FRB may appoint a conservator or a receiver for a state member bank.

Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the FRB’s Regulation W restrict transactions by banks and their subsidiaries with their affiliates. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W: (a) limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus (i.e., tangible capital); (b) limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with all affiliates to 20% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus, and (c) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank or subsidiary, as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term “covered transactions” includes the making of loans, the purchase of assets, the issuance of a guarantee and other similar types of transactions.

A bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders, as well as entities controlled by such persons, is subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O promulgated by the FRB. Among other requirements, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated persons, or be made as part of a benefit or compensation program and on terms widely available to employees, and must not involve a greater than normal risk of repayment. The amount of loans a bank may make to these persons is based, in part, on the bank’s capital position, and specified approval procedures must be followed in making loans which exceed specified amounts.

The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the “CRA”), which is designed to encourage financial institutions to give special attention to the needs of low and moderate income areas in meeting the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. If the CRA regulatory evaluation of a bank’s activities is less than satisfactory, regulatory approval of proposed acquisitions, branch openings, and other applications requiring FRB approval may be delayed until a satisfactory CRA evaluation is achieved. The Bank currently has a CRA regulatory evaluation of satisfactory.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies, such as the Corporation, and for state member banks, such as the Bank. Bank holding companies and state member banks must maintain adequate consolidated capital to meet the minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) (the “Total Risk-Based Ratio”) of 8%. At least half of the minimum-required Total Risk-Based Ratio (4%) must be composed of “Tier 1” capital, which consists of common stockholders’ equity, minority interests in certain equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock and qualified trust preferred securities, less goodwill and certain other intangibles (the “Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio”). The remainder of total risk-based capital (commonly referred to as “Tier 2” risk-based capital) may consist of certain amounts of hybrid capital instruments, mandatory convertible debt, subordinated debt, preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1

18

capital, loan and lease loss allowances, and net unrealized gains on certain available-for-sale securities, all subject to limitations established by the guidelines.

Under the guidelines, capital is compared to the relative risk of the balance sheet. To derive the risk included in the balance sheet, one of four risk weights (0%, 20%, 50% and 100%) is applied to different balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets, primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The FRB also has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies and state member banks. The guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets (excluding the loan and lease loss allowance, goodwill and certain other intangibles) (the “Leverage Ratio”) of 3% for bank holding companies and state member banks that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies and state member banks must maintain a Leverage Ratio of 4% to 5%. The guidelines further provide that bank holding companies and state member banks making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

The following table sets forth the Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio, Total Risk-Based Ratio, and Leverage Ratio for the Corporation and the Bank at December 31, 2007:

	At December 31, 2007
	Corporation					Bank
	Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
Tier 1 risk-based	$	42,413		12.6	%	$	36,965		11.0	%

Excess	$	24,839		5.7	%	$	19,405		4.4	%

The FRB and other federal banking agencies have established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve certain problems of capital deficient and otherwise troubled banks under its regulation. This system is based on five capital level categories for insured depository institutions: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” At each successively lower defined capital category, an institution is subject to more restrictive and numerous mandatory or discretionary regulatory actions or limits, and the federal banking agencies have less flexibility in determining how to resolve the problems of the institution. An undercapitalized institution must submit a capital restoration plan to the FRB within 45 days after it becomes undercapitalized. Such an institution will be subject to increased monitoring and asset growth restrictions and will be required to obtain prior approval for acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business. Furthermore, critically undercapitalized institutions must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days of reaching that capitalization level, except under limited circumstances.

The Bank’s capital levels at December 31, 2007 met the standards for the highest level, a “well-capitalized” institution.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The ability of the Corporation to obtain funds for the payment of dividends on its common shares is largely dependent on the amount of dividends which may be declared and paid by the Bank. However, the FRB expects the Corporation to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, which may require the Corporation to retain capital for further investment in the Bank, rather than pay dividends to the Corporation’s shareholders. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to various legal limitations and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, the Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the Division, unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of its net profits for the year plus

19

its retained profits for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus. However, the Bank is prohibited from paying dividends out of its surplus if, after paying these dividends; it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and minimum leverage ratio requirements.

FDIC DEPOSIT INSURANCE

Insurance premiums for each insured institution, including the Bank, are determined based upon the institution’s capital level and supervisory rating provided to the FDIC by the institution’s primary federal regulatory (the FRB in the case of the Bank) and other information the FDIC deems relevant to the risk posed to the deposit insurance fund by the institution. The assessment rate determined by considering such information is then applied to the amount of the institution’s deposits to determine the institution’s insurance premium. An increase in the assessment rate could have a material adverse effect on the earnings of the affected institutions, depending on the amount of the increase.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon the finding that the insured institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition enacted or imposed by the institution’s regulatory agency.

In February of 2006, President Bush signed into law the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and its companion bill, the Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (collectively, the “Deposit Insurance Reform Acts”), pursuant to which the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) were merged into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The Deposit Insurance Reform Acts provide for several additional changes to the deposit insurance system, including the following:

• Increasing the deposit insurance limit for retirement accounts from $100,000 to $250,000;

• Adjusting the deposit insurance limits (currently $100,000 for most accounts) every five years based on an inflation index, with the first adjustment to be effective on January 1, 2011;

• Providing pass-through deposit insurance for the deposits of employee benefit plans (but prohibiting undercapitalized depository institutions from accepting employee benefit plan deposits);

• Allocating an aggregate of $4.7 billion of one-time credits to offset the premiums of depository institutions based on their assessment bases at the end of 1996;

• Establishing rules for awarding cash dividends to depository institutions, based on their relative contributions to the DIF and its predecessor funds, when the DIF reserve ratio reaches certain levels; and

• Revising the rules and procedures for risk-based premium assessments.

On January 1, 2007, final rules under the Deposit Insurance Reform Acts became effective. The final rules set a base assessment schedule for 2007 for DIF premiums. For banks with less than $10 billion in assets, the premium assessment rates are based on a combination of financial ratios and CAMELS component ratings. The final rules also provide a one-time credit to institutions to offset amounts owed for deposit insurance.

FRB RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

For 2008, FRB regulations require depository institutions to maintain reserves of 3% of net transaction accounts (primarily demand and NOW accounts) up to and including $43,900,000 (subject to an exemption for the first $9,300,000 of net transaction accounts), and of 10% of net transaction accounts in excess of $43,900,000.

EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY

The earnings of the Bank are affected by general and local economic conditions and by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions, primarily through open market acquisitions or dispositions of United States Government securities, varying the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and setting reserve requirements against member and nonmember bank deposits. Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have had a significant effect on the interest income and interest expense of commercial banks, including the Bank, and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

20

SEC REGULATION

The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC and certain state securities authorities relating to the offering and sale of its securities. The Company is subject to the registration, reporting, and other regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act and the rules adopted by the SEC under those acts.

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws. These changes are intended to allow shareholders to monitor the performance of companies and directors more easily and efficiently.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules adopted by the SEC and securities exchanges thereunder include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules. Among other matters, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules adopted thereunder address: audit committees; certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer; the forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period covered by restated financial statements; a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers (excluding loans by insured depository institutions that are subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal Reserve Act); expedited filing requirements for stock transaction reports by officers and directors; the formation of a public accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the difference between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities (in particular, the FRB). Changes in interest rates will influence the demand for loans, the prepayment of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits, and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits and borrowings, and these changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The impact of these changes may be magnified if we do not effectively manage the relative sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. See “Asset/Liability Management” under Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies.

The policies of the FRB impact us significantly. The FRB regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its policies directly and indirectly influence the rate of interest earned on loans and paid on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the value of financial instruments we hold. Those policies determine to a significant extent our cost of funds for lending and investing. Changes in those policies are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. FRB policies can also affect our borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay their loans. For example, a tightening of the money supply by the FRB could reduce the demand for a borrower’s products and services. This could adversely affect the borrower’s earnings and ability to repay its loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in economic and political conditions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. In addition, a substantial portion of our loans are to individuals and businesses located in Northwest Ohio. Consequently, a significant decline in the economy of this market area could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for loan losses, our net income will decrease.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses based upon a number of relevant factors, including, but not limited to, trends in the level of nonperforming assets and classified loans, current economic conditions in the primary lending area, past loss experience, possible losses arising from specific problem loans, and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in material adjustments, and net earnings could be significantly adversely affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions and estimates used by management to determine the allowance for loan losses.

We may not be able to pay dividends in the future in accordance with past practice.

The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to various legal limitations and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the Division, unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of its net profits for the year combined with its retained profits of the two preceding years. In the event that the Bank was unable to pay dividends to us, we in turn would likely have to reduce or stop paying dividends on our common shares. Our failure to pay dividends on our common shares could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

22

We depend upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers, we may rely on information provided to us by customers, including financial statements and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to a business, we may assume that the customer’s audited financial statements conform with generally accepted accounting principles and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. We may also rely on the audit report covering those financial statements. Our financial condition and results of operation could be negatively impacted to the extent we rely on financial statements that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles or that are materially misleading.

Government regulation can result in limitations on our operations.

The financial services industry is extensively regulated. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Division and the FRB. As a holding company, the Corporation is also subject to regulation and oversight by the FRB. Federal and state regulation is designed primarily to protect the deposit insurance funds and consumers, and not to benefit our shareholders. Such regulations can at times impose significant limitations on our operations. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by the institution and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress and before bank regulatory authorities. Changes in applicable laws or policies could materially affect our business, and the likelihood of any major changes in the future and their effects are impossible to determine. Moreover, it is impossible to predict the ultimate form any proposed legislation might take or how it might affect us.

We operate in an extremely competitive market, and our business will suffer if we are unable to compete effectively.

In our market area, we encounter significant competition from other commercial banks, as well as from savings and loan associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and loan production offices and other financial units of non-local bank holding companies. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we do and may offer services that we do not or cannot provide. Our ability to maintain our history of strong financial performance will depend in part on our continued ability to compete successfully in our market area and on our ability to expand our scope of available financial services as needed to meet the needs and demands of our customers.

There is a limited trading market for our common shares, and thus your ability to sell or purchase our common shares may be limited.

Your ability to sell our common shares or purchase additional common shares largely depends upon the existence of an active market for our common shares. Although our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, they are not listed on any securities exchange and the volume of trading has been limited historically. As a result, you may not be able to sell or purchase our common shares at the volume, time and price that you desire. In addition, a fair valuation of the purchase or sales price of our common shares also depends upon an active trading market, and thus the price you receive for a thinly traded stock, such as our common shares, may not reflect its true value.

The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates that may vary from actual results.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. Two of our most critical estimates are the level of the allowance for loan losses and the estimated liability for supplemental retirement benefits. Because of the inherent nature of these estimates, we cannot provide complete assurance that we will not be required to charge earnings for significant unexpected loan losses, nor that we will not recognize additional liability for supplemental retirement benefits. For additional information on these estimates, refer to the Notes to our 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2007 Annual Report.

23

Changes in accounting standards could impact our results of operations.

The accounting standard setters, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restatement of our financial statements for prior periods.

Our continued success depends upon our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our success depends, in large part, upon the continued service of our senior management team and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. There is significant competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract new or additional qualified personnel if and when needed. If we lose the services of our key personnel, or are unable to attract new or additional qualified personnel, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may be a defendant from time to time in a variety of litigation and other actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation and the Bank may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us may harm our reputation regardless of the merit or eventual outcome of such claims. If the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

     Croghan’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $5,511,000, compared to net income of $5,489,000 earned in 2006 and $5,721,000 in 2005. Net income in 2007 as compared to 2006 was favorably impacted by a $451,000 increase in non-interest income and a $280,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, while being adversely impacted by a $63,000 decrease in interest income and a $587,000 increase in non-interest expenses.

     The return on average assets in 2007 was 1.23%, compared to 1.21% in 2006 and 1.24% in 2005. The return on average stockholders’ equity was 10.60% in 2007, 10.90% in 2006 and 11.43% in 2005. Net income per share in 2007 amounted to $3.13, compared to $3.03 in 2006 and $3.05 in 2005.

     Total assets decreased to $455,128,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $458,858,000 at December 31, 2006 primarily due to a $10,434,000, or 16.9%, decrease in total securities. Total loans decreased $6,764,000, or 1.9%, to $350,514,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $357,278,000 at December 31, 2006. Total deposits at December 31, 2007 decreased $8,361,000, or 2.3%, to $362,833,000 from $371,194,000 at December 31, 2006. Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 amounted to $53,288,000, a 4.2% increase as compared to $51,163,000 at December 31, 2006.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income, which represents the revenue generated from interest-earning assets in excess of the interest cost of funding those assets, is Croghan’s principal source of income. Net interest income is influenced by market interest rate conditions and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Many external factors affect net interest income and typically include the strength of customer loan demand, customer preference for individual deposit account products, competitors’ loan and deposit product offerings, the national and local economic climates, and Federal Reserve monetary policy.

     The following table demonstrates the components of net interest income for the years ended December 31:

	2007			2006			2005
	(Dollars in thousands)
Average interest-earning assets	$	403,474		$	412,991		$	420,371
Interest income		27,752			26,904			25,385
Average rate earned		6.88	%		6.51	%		6.04	%
Average interest-bearing liabilities	$	345,289		$	351,974		$	360,172
Interest expense		10,524			9,613			7,310
Average rate paid		3.05	%		2.73	%		2.03	%
Net interest income	$	17,228		$	17,291		$	18,075
Net interest yield (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets)		4.27	%		4.19	%		4.30	%

     2007 vs. 2006. Net interest income for 2007 decreased $63,000, or .4%, to $17,228,000, compared to $17,291,000 in 2006. Average interest-earning assets in 2007 decreased $9,517,000, which was a direct result of the reduction in the securities portfolio. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $6,685,000, which was a direct result of decreases in time deposit balances. In 2007, Croghan used funds from securities that matured and other borrowings to fund the reduction in interest-bearing liabilities that were lost in the time deposit category.

          In the last six months of 2007, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered managed interest rates 100 basis points, or 1.00%. Despite the reductions in managed rates, the average rate earned on both assets and liabilities increased in 2007. The average rate earned on interest-bearing assets increased to 6.88% in 2007 from 6.51% in 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.05% in 2007 from 2.73% in 2006. The decline in managed rates was not matched by the competitive market rates which allowed for a return to a positive sloped Treasury yield curve. A result of the positive sloped Treasury yield curve was that it allowed interest-bearing assets to increase more than interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, Croghan’s net interest yield increased to 4.27% in 2007 from 4.19% in 2006.

     2006 vs. 2005. Net interest income for 2006 decreased $784,000, or 4.3%, to $17,291,000, compared to $18,075,000 in 2005. Average interest-earning assets in 2006 decreased $7,380,000, which was a direct result of the reduction in the securities portfolio. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $8,198,000, which was a direct result of decreases in other borrowed funds from sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). In 2006, Croghan used funds from securities that matured to pay down borrowed funds from the FHLB which were maturing in 2006.

          In the first six months of 2006, FOMC raised managed interest rates 100 basis points, or 1.00%. These rate increases helped increase Croghan’s interest yield on assets to 6.51%, but also increased the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.73%. Also, throughout 2006 the Treasury yield curve remained inverted which put sustained pressure on Croghan’s net interest yield. The net effect of the FOMC rate increases and inverted yield curve was to decrease the net interest yield in 2006 to 4.19%, compared to 4.30% in 2005.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Croghan’s loan policy provides guidelines for managing both credit risk and asset quality. The policy details acceptable lending practices, establishes loan-grading classifications, and prescribes the use of a loan review process. Croghan employs credit analysis staff to aid in facilitating the early identification of problem loans, to help ensure sound credit decisions, and to assist in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Croghan also engages an outside credit review firm to supplement the credit analysis function and to provide an independent assessment of the loan review process. Croghan’s loan policy, loan review process, and credit analysis staff facilitate management’s evaluation of the credit risk inherent in the lending function.

     Croghan performs ongoing reviews to identify potential problem and non-performing loans and also completes in-depth analysis with respect to the quarterly allowance for loan losses calculation. Part of this analysis involves accessing the need for specific reserves relative to impaired loans. This evaluation typically includes a review of the loans past performance history, a comparison of the estimated collateral value in relation to the outstanding loan balance, the overall financial strength of the borrower, industry risks pertinent to the borrower, and competitive trends that may influence the borrower’s future financial performance. Loans are considered impaired when, based upon the most current information available; it appears probable that the borrower will not be able to make payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are recorded at the observable market price of the loan, the fair value of the underlying collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent), or the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Given that Croghan’s impaired loans are typically collateralized by real estate or other borrower assets, the fair value of individual impaired loans is most often based upon the underlying collateral value. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

5

     To determine the allowance for loan losses, Croghan prepares a detailed quarterly analysis that focuses on delinquency trends, the status of non-performing loans (i.e., impaired, nonaccrual, and restructured loans, and loans past due 90 days or more), current and historical trends of charged-off loans within each loan category (i.e., commercial, real estate, and consumer), existing local and national economic conditions, and changes within the volume and mix in each loan category. Higher loss rates are applied in calculating the allowance for loan losses relating to potential problem loans. The loss rates are periodically evaluated considering historic loss rates in the respective potential problem loan categories (i.e., special mention, substandard, doubtful) and current trends.

     Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. Even though management uses all available information to assess possible loan losses, future additions or reductions to the allowance may be required as changes occur in economic conditions and specific borrower circumstances. The regulatory agencies that periodically review Croghan’s allowance for loan losses may also require additions to the allowance or the charge-off of specific loans based upon the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

     The following table provides factors relating to the provision and allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31:

	2007			2006			2005
	(Dollars in thousands)
Provision for loan losses charged to expense	$	100		$	380		$	705
Net loan charge-offs		342			404			753
Net loan charge-offs as a percent of average outstanding net loans		.10	%		.12	%		.22	%

     The following table provides information relating to problem loans and the allowance for loan losses as of December 31:

	2007			2006			2005
	(Dollars in thousands)
Nonaccrual loans	$	2,285		$	3,795		$	3,872
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest		237			716			561
Restructured loans		—			—			—
Potential problem loans, other than those past due 90 days or more, nonaccrual, or restructured		9,405			8,199			11,810
Total potential problem and non-performing loans	$	11,927		$	12,710		$	16,243
Allowance for loan losses	$	3,358		$	3,600		$	3,624
Allowance for loan losses as a percent of year-end loans		.96	%		1.01	%		1.06	%

     2007 vs. 2006. The 2007 provision for loan losses totaled $100,000, or $280,000 less than the 2006 provision of $380,000. The reduction of the 2007 provision was impacted by a decrease in the level of loan charge-offs and nonaccrual loans. Total potential problem and non-performing loans decreased $783,000, or 6.2% to $11,927,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $12,710,000 at December 31, 2006.

     Positive trends in the categories of potential problem and non-performing loans at December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 include a $1,510,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans and a $479,000 decrease in loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Croghan did experience an increase in other potential problem loans of $1,206,000 at December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the improvement and migration during the fourth quarter of 2007 from the nonaccrual loans category of the customer described in the “2006 vs. 2005” comparison that follows this section.

     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 borrower does not generate sufficient operating cash flow to adequately service its debts.

     2006 vs. 2005. The 2006 provision for loan losses totaled $380,000, or $325,000 less than the 2005 provision of $705,000. The reduction of the 2006 provision was impacted by a decrease in the level of charge-offs in the consumer, credit card, and real estate loan categories. The reduction of the 2006 provision was also impacted by a reduction in total potential problem and non-performing loans. Total potential problem and non-performing loans decreased $3,533,000, or 21.8%, to $12,710,000 at December 31, 2006, compared to $16,243,000 at December 31, 2005.

     Positive portfolio trends came from a $3,611,000 decrease in potential problem loans to $8,199,000 at December 31, 2006, compared to $11,810,000 at December 31, 2005, and also a decrease in nonaccrual loans to $3,795,000 at December 31, 2006 from $3,872,000 at December 31, 2005. A negative portfolio trend was an increase in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest to $716,000 in 2006, compared to $561,000 in 2005. Non-accrual loans included three loans to one borrower aggregating $2,557,000 at December 31, 2006 and $2,688,000 at December 31, 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, the borrower filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws and the Bank obtained an updated appraisal. Based on this updated appraisal, an additional provision of $242,000 was recognized in 2006 relating to this credit.

     2007 vs. 2006. Total non-interest income in 2007 increased to $3,486,000, compared to $3,035,000 in 2006, an increase of $451,000 or 14.9%. Trust income increased $120,000, or 15.6%, from the 2006 level. The Trust Department held a total of $140,063,000 in assets for 612 clients at December 31, 2007, compared to $134,022,000 in assets at December 31, 2006. Services offered by the Trust Department include qualified retirement plans (e.g., 401k and simple plans), personal trusts, investment management accounts, cash management accounts, individual retirement accounts, custody accounts, charitable trusts, and charitable gift annuities.

     Service charges on deposit accounts increased $157,000, or 11.3%, in 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of Croghan’s continued development of various deposit products and services, as well as close scrutiny of its fee structure in comparison to its costs.

     Croghan has purchased split-dollar life insurance contracts on behalf of certain current and former executive officers. The increase in the cash value of these policies accumulates on a tax-exempt basis, as long as the policies are not cashed, and the tax savings is used to fund supplemental retirement benefits for the named executives, most of whom are retired from Croghan. Croghan has also purchased bank-owned life insurance policies covering certain members of its management. The total cash value of these life insurance policies aggregated $10,227,000 at December 31, 2007 and $9,872,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase in cash value of the policies amounted to $355,000 in 2007, compared to $329,000 in 2006.

     Other operating income increased $143,000, or 26.5%, to $683,000 in 2007 from $540,000 reported in 2006. Other operating income includes fees generated by the Investment Department of Croghan’s Trust and Investment Services Division. The Investment Department markets non-FDIC insured investment products, such as mutual funds and annuities. Fees generated by the Investment Department totaled $98,000 in 2007, compared to $77,000 in 2006. Other items of note that comprise other operating income include ATM surcharge fees, MasterCard merchant referral commissions, safe deposit box fees, credit life insurance sales commissions, and fees from the sale of official checks and money orders.

     2006 vs. 2005. Total non-interest income in 2006 increased to $3,035,000, compared to $2,761,000 earned in 2005, an increase of $274,000 or 9.9%. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $15,000, or 1.1%, from the 2005 level. Net securities losses amounted to $9,000 in 2006, compared to $141,000 in 2005. A portion of the 2005 sales were the result of a planned strategy to fund payments to Custar shareholders and to align the acquired securities portfolio with Croghan’s investment objectives. The net securities losses in 2006 were realized upon the sale of obligations of states and political subdivisions. All of the securities sold were from the available-for-sale portfolio. Trust income increased $155,000, or 25.3%, from the 2005 level. The Trust Department held a total of $134,022,000 in assets for 615 clients at December 31, 2006, compared to $114,157,000 in assets at December 31, 2005.

     The cash value of the split-dollar life insurance and the bank-owned life insurance policies aggregated $9,872,000 at December 31, 2006 and $9,543,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in cash value of the policies amounted to $329,000 in 2006 and $314,000 in 2005.

     Other operating income decreased $41,000, or 7.1%, to $540,000 in 2006 from $581,000 reported in 2005. As previously mentioned, the fees generated by the Investment Department of Croghan’s Trust and Investment Services Division are included in non-interest income and totaled $77,000 in 2006, compared to $97,000 in 2005.

Total non-interest expenses	$	12,755	$	12,168	$	12,077

     2007 vs. 2006. Total non-interest expenses in 2007 increased to $12,755,000 from $12,168,000 in 2006, an increase of $587,000 or 4.8%. Total personnel expense increased $299,000 or 4.3%, to $7,186,000 in 2007 from $6,887,000 in 2006. During 2007, management received an updated analysis of the Corporation’s obligation under the supplemental retirement plan for executive officers. Based on the results of the analysis, which is prepared periodically by the Corporation’s outside benefit consultants, no provision was deemed necessary for the year ended December 31, 2007. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 152 at 2007 year-end compared to 156 at 2006 year-end. Other expenses that changed more than $50,000 between 2007 and 2006 included occupancy of premises, equipment and vehicle, professional and consulting services, and advertising and marketing.

     Occupancy of premises expense increased $72,000 or 9.4% in 2007. The 2007 increase was primarily due to the costs incurred from the opening of the new Clyde banking center and improvements at the Main banking center in 2007. Equipment and vehicle expenses increased 13.6% in 2007. Increases in equipment costs were also primarily due to additional equipment purchased for the new Clyde and Main banking centers.

     Professional and consulting services increased $79,000, or 22.1%, in 2007. These services include fees paid to various consulting firms that assist with operational and product issues, asset/liability management, compliance training, information technology matters, and business planning. They also include professional fees paid to legal, accounting, and loan review firms. The 2007 total included $117,000 in expenses for an accounting firm to assist in the internal control certification requirements specified by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404), which were not required in 2006.

     Advertising and marketing expenses decreased $54,000 or 23.2% in 2007. In 2007, Croghan shifted away from mass marketing media such as billboards, newspapers and televisions to targeted direct client marketing which resulted in reduced advertising and marketing costs.

     2006 vs. 2005. Total non-interest expenses in 2006 increased to $12,168,000 from $12,077,000 in 2005, an increase of $91,000 or .8%. Total personnel expense increased $34,000 to $6,887,000 in 2006 from $6,853,000 in 2005. During 2006, management received an updated analysis of the Corporation’s obligation under the supplemental retirement plan for executive officers. Based on the results of the analysis, the Corporation reduced its liability under the plan by $83,000 for the year ending December 31, 2006. The reduction was due to the resignation of an executive officer earlier in the year and adjustments of certain experience factors, including a decrease in anticipated future payments due to retired participants. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 156 at 2006 year-end compared to 158 at 2005 year-end. Other expenses that changed more than $50,000 between 2006 and 2005 included professional and consulting services, and state franchise and other taxes.

9

     Professional and consulting services decreased $93,000, or 20.6%, in 2006. The 2005 total included $45,000 in expenses for an accounting firm to assist in the internal control certification requirements specified by SOX 404, which were not incurred in 2006. After Croghan completed a majority of the work in 2005, the regulatory agencies announced in late 2005 that certifications applicable to public registrants of Croghan’s size would be delayed until 2007 or later.

     State franchise taxes, which are based on the Bank’s capital structure, and other taxes increased $124,000, or 35.5%, in 2006. The 2006 increase was largely due to The Custar State Bank acquisition completed in January 2005.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     Federal income tax expense totaled $2,348,000 in 2007, compared to $2,289,000 in 2006 and $2,333,000 in 2005. The effective tax rate in 2007 was 29.9% compared to 29.4% in 2006 and 29.0% in 2005.

SECURITIES

     Croghan’s securities portfolio is used to enhance net interest income, provide liquidity in the event of unforeseen cash flow needs, and diversify financial risk. At December 31, 2007, Croghan classified substantially all of its securities, except restricted stock, as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at their fair values with the net unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported as a component of stockholder equity known as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Any restricted stock is reported at cost. All securities are periodically reviewed for impairment.

     Croghan’s available-for-sale investment portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. Government agency and political subdivision obligations. The fair value of these holdings totaled $46,994,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $56,923,000 at December 31, 2006. Croghan’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio consists of debt obligations of domestic corporations. The amortized cost of these investments totaled $506,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $1,011,000 at December 31, 2006. Restricted stock is primarily comprised of shares issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Bankers Bancshares, Inc. of Gahanna. The carrying value of restricted stock totaled $3,629,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

     The aggregate carrying value of all securities at December 31, 2007 totaled $51,479,000, which represented a decrease of 16.9%, as compared to $61,913,000 at December 31, 2006. Throughout 2007, Croghan used proceeds from securities maturities to replace funds lost in time deposits rather than purchase new securities.

LOANS

     Total loans at December 31, 2007 decreased $6,764,000, or 1.9%, over December 31, 2006. The following table summarizes total loans and the percent change by major category as of December 31:

					Percent
	2007		2006		Change
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial, financial and agricultural	$	38,057	$	42,846		(11.2	)%
Real estate — residential mortgage		146,664		151,330		(3.1	)%
Real estate — non-residential mortgage		135,743		125,755		7.9	%
Real estate — construction		11,427		13,467		(15.1	)%
Consumer		15,838		21,111		(25.0	)%
Credit card		2,785		2,769		.6	%
Total loans	$	350,514	$	357,278		(1.9	)%

     During 2007, continued rigorous underwriting standards, along with low economic growth throughout Croghan’s market area, resulted in a decline of $6,764,000, or 1.9%, in total loans to $350,514,000 at December 31, 2007, from $357,278,000 at December 31, 2006. As demonstrated in the preceding table, decreases occurred in all loan categories except for credit card and non-residential real estate. The credit card increase was a very modest $16,000, while the increase in non-residential mortgage loans was part of Croghan’s continued emphasis on obtaining real estate collateral for commercial loans. The most significant decreases during 2007 occurred in commercial, financial and agricultural of $4,789,000, or 11.2%, consumer of $5,273,000, or 25.0%, and real estate — construction of $2,040,000, or 15.1%. The decrease in the commercial, financial and agricultural category is largely due to a shift to the real estate — non-residential mortgage category. The level of consumer lending has continued to decline over the past several years due to both economic and competitive factors. The level of construction lending may vary from time to time, but on the national level, construction activity was down during 2007.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

     Deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2007 decreased $5,743,000, or 1.4%, compared to December 31, 2006. Deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities serve as a primary source of cash flows to fund loan demand and are summarized in the following table as of December 31:

					Percent
	2007		2006		Change
	(Dollars in thousands)
Demand, non-interest bearing	$	52,957	$	49,745		6.5	%
Savings, NOW and Money Market deposits		160,431		160,224		.1	%
Time deposits		149,445		161,225		(7.3	)%
Total deposits		362,833		371,194		(2.3	)%
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements		11,106		15,388		(27.8	)%
Other borrowings		24,500		17,600		39.2	%
Total deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities	$	398,439	$	404,182		(1.4	)%

     As noted in the preceding table, other borrowings; demand, non-interest bearing; and savings, NOW and money market deposits all increased in 2007. Other borrowings increased $6,900,000, or 39.2%, in 2007 when compared to 2006. The increase in other borrowings primarily resulted from $10,000,000 of Federal Home Loan Bank advances initiated during the fourth quarter of 2007 to take advantage of the relatively low interest rate environment at the time. Other borrowings at December 31, 2006 also included $1,600,000 of term loan borrowings related to Croghan’s 2005 acquisition of The Custar State Bank. Such borrowings were repaid during 2007. The increase in demand, non-interest bearing deposits of $3,212,000, or 6.5%, and decrease in securities helped fund the net outflow of both time deposits of $11,780,000, or 7.3%, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements of $4,282,000, or 27.8%, that occurred during 2007. The shift from time deposits to other borrowings came about as the costs for other borrowings were below the time deposit costs being offered in our market areas. This has allowed Croghan to keep down the increasing costs of interest-bearing liabilities which has contributed to the increase in the net yield on interest-earning assets as previously discussed.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

     Croghan’s stockholders’ equity is summarized in the following table at December 31:

	2007			2006
	(Dollars in thousands)
Common stock	$	23,926		$	23,926
Surplus		179			171
Retained earnings		35,292			31,961
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)		157			(206	)
Treasury stock		(6,266	)		(4,689	)
Total stockholders’ equity	$	53,288		$	51,163

     Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the net unrealized gain or loss on securities classified as available-for-sale. At December 31, 2007, Croghan held $47,344,000 of available-for-sale securities with a net unrealized gain of $157,000, net of income taxes. This compares to available-for-sale securities of $57,273,000, at December 31, 2007, with a net unrealized loss of $206,000, net of income taxes. The $363,000 change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was the result of customary and expected fluctuations in the bond market related to changes in interest rates during 2007. Since management believes that none of its investment securities holdings are permanently impaired, there were no impairment charges made to operations in either 2007 or 2006.

     Treasury stock at December 31, 2007 increased $1,577,000 or 33.6% as compared to December 31, 2006. During 2007, Croghan repurchased 41,051 of its outstanding shares, all of which are maintained in treasury stock at December 31, 2007. Croghan also sold 763 shares from treasury during 2007 to meet the contribution requirements of the Croghan-sponsored 401(k) plan. All sales of treasury shares during 2007 were made at the prevailing market price on the date of the trade and resulted in an $8,000 increase in surplus.

11

     Bank holding companies, including Croghan, are subject to minimum capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Additionally, all insured depository institutions, including the Bank, are subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s capital classification system that assigns institutions into one of the following categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized. Failure of a bank or bank holding company to meet the adequately capitalized or minimum capital standards may result in the initiation of certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on an institution’s financial statements.

     The Federal Reserve Board’s minimum Tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios established for bank holding companies are 4% and 8%, respectively. At December 31, 2007, Croghan had a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.6%. To be considered as “well capitalized” under prompt corrective action provisions, a bank must have a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. At December 31, 2007, Bank was deemed “well capitalized” with a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 11.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.5%. A detailed analysis of the capital amounts and related capital ratios for Croghan and the Bank is included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Croghan and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

LIQUIDITY

     The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are derived from its core deposit base and stable stockholders’ equity position. Secondary liquidity is provided by adjusting the daily federal funds sold position (when available), by actively managing the investment portfolio, and by adjusting federal funds purchased (borrowed) under established lines of credit from correspondent banks. The Bank has four federal funds purchased lines of credit, which are readily available on an unsecured short-term basis to meet daily liquidity needs as they arise. The average balance borrowed under these lines during 2007 totaled $613,000. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had no federal funds purchased compared to $4,500,000 in federal funds purchased at December 31, 2006. The Bank also has additional borrowing capacity of $63,702,000 available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. These funds can be drawn upon subject to adequate pledging of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and eligible residential mortgage loans.

     Additionally, the Bank maintains a portion of its assets in liquid form to meet anticipated customer loan demands and to fund possible deposit account outflows. At December 31, 2007, liquid assets in the form of cash and due from banks totaled $25,349,000, or 5.6%, of total assets. This amount included $11,277,000 of federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. The Bank believes that these highly liquid assets, as well as a staggered maturity schedule for other borrowings, principal repayments within the investment portfolio, and cash flows from loan repayments provide adequate liquidity for day-to-day operations.

     The liquidity needs of the Corporation, primarily the need to pay quarterly cash dividends to stockholders, are funded by upstream-dividends from the Bank. Dividends accrued to the holding company from the Bank totaled $5,378,000 in 2007, $5,472,000 in 2006 and $5,608,000 in 2005. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations and to prudent and sound banking practices. In general, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend at any time without the approval from the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions provided its dividends in a calendar year do not exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained profits for the two preceding years. Under these provisions, the Bank had $202,000 available for dividends on January 1, 2008 and projects adequate income throughout 2008 to support cash dividends to shareholders and provide funds to make debt service payments.

INTEREST RATE RISK

     Interest rate risk is one of Croghan’s most significant financial exposures. This risk, which is common to the financial institution sector, is an integral part of Croghan’s operations and impacts the rate-pricing strategy for essentially all loan and deposit products. The management and oversight of interest rate risk, including the establishment of acceptable guidelines, is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The ALCO committee, and the associated Asset/Liability Management Policy, seek to quantify and monitor the risk, to adequately provide for liquidity needs, and to maximize net interest income by managing net interest yield.

     Croghan monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity analysis, which strives to measure potential changes in future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that could result from hypothetical changes in interest rates. The first step in this analysis is to estimate the expected cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments using the interest rates in effect at December 31, 2007. To arrive at fair value estimates, the cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments are discounted to their approximated present values.

     Hypothetical changes in interest rates are applied to those financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair value estimations are then simulated. When calculating the net interest income estimations, hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based upon the assumed cash flows. Croghan applies interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments of 100 and 200 basis points (up and down) for its net interest income, and 200 basis points (up and down) for the value of its equity. The following table presents the potential sensitivity in Croghan’s annual net interest income for a 100 and 200 basis-point (i.e., 1.0% and 2.0%) change in market interest rates and the potential sensitivity in the present value of Croghan’s equity for a sudden and sustained 200 basis-point (i.e., 2.0%) change in market interest rates (dollars in thousands):

	December 31, 2007						ALCO Guidelines
	Change in Dollars			Change in Percent			For the Change
	($)			(%)			in Percent (%)
Annual Net Interest Income Impact
For a Change of + 100 Basis Points		(1,098	)		(6.4	)		(15.0	)
For a Change of – 100 Basis Points		204			1.2			15.0
For a Change of + 200 Basis Points		(2,213	)		(12.9	)		(25.0	)
For a Change of – 200 Basis Points		(390	)		(2.3	)		25.0
Impact on the Net Present Value of Equity
For a Change of + 200 Basis Points		(4,193	)		(6.9	)		(25.0	)
For a Change of – 200 Basis Points		(959	)		(1.6	)		25.0

     As indicated in the preceding table, the projected volatility of net interest income and the net present value of equity at December 31, 2007 were within Croghan’s established guidelines. The preceding analysis encompasses the use of a variety of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and the possible reaction of depositors to changes in interest rates. The analysis simulates possible outcomes and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Additionally, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all of the actions that Croghan could undertake in response to changes in market interest rates.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

     The following table summarizes Croghan’s loan commitments, including letters of credit, as of December 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

	Amount of Commitment to Expire Per Period
Type of Commitment	Total Amount		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		Over 5 Years
Commercial lines of credit	$	26,524	$	22,718	$	3,653	$	54	$	99
Real estate lines of credit		31,217		5,087		3,391		572		22,167
Consumer lines of credit		777		777		—		—		—
Credit card lines of credit		11,216		11,216		—		—		—
Guarantees		—		—		—		—		—
Total Commitments	$	69,734	$	39,798	$	7,044	$	626	$	22,266

     As indicated in the preceding table, Croghan had $69,734,000 in total loan commitments at the December 31, 2007, including $39,798,000 expiring within one year. All lines of credit represent either fee-paid or legally binding loan commitments for the loan categories noted. Letters of credit are also included in the amounts noted in the table since Croghan requires that each letter of credit be supported by a loan agreement. Commercial and consumer lines represent both unsecured and secured obligations. Real estate lines are secured by mortgages in residential and non-residential property. Credit card lines are made on an unsecured basis. It is anticipated that a significant portion of these lines will expire without being drawn upon, particularly credit card lines, which represent the maximum amount available to all cardholders. Additionally, $23,078,000 of the commercial lines are due on demand, with many of those lines established for seasonal operating purposes.

     The following table summarizes Croghan’s other contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total Amount		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		Over 5 Years
Long-term debt	$	24,500	$	—	$	14,000	$	5,500	$	5,000
Capital leases		—		—		—		—		—
Operating leases		209		89		98		22		—
Unconditional purchase obligations		—		—		—		—		—
Other		802		49		102		110		541
Total Obligations	$	25,511	$	138	$	14,200	$	5,632	$	5,541

     Long-term debt noted in the preceding table represents borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati which requires payment of interest on a monthly basis with principal due at maturity. The obligations are all at fixed interest rates and stipulate a prepayment penalty if the respective note’s interest rate exceeds the current market rate for similar borrowings at the time of prepayment. As notes mature, Croghan evaluates the liquidity and interest-rate circumstances at that point in time to determine whether to pay off or renew the notes. The evaluation process typically includes: the strength of current and projected customer loan demand, Croghan’s federal funds sold or purchased position, projected cash flows from maturing investment securities, the current and projected market interest rate environment, local and national economic conditions, and customer demand for Croghan’s deposit product offerings.

     As indicated in the table, Croghan had no capital leases or unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2007. Additionally, the table does not include obligations pertaining to deposits or federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements.

     Croghan’s operating lease obligations pertain to lease arrangements for the Port Clinton Office, which is located in a retail supermarket in the Knollcrest Shopping Center, an ATM site north of Fremont, and the Norwalk banking center located in the downtown business district. The other contractual obligation noted in the table, totaling $802,000, represents the projected payments for the periods indicated to participants in the Bank’s executive supplemental retirement plan. Of this amount, $496,000 has been accrued as a liability as of December 31, 2007. Croghan also has various future operating lease obligations aggregating less than $75,000 at December 31, 2007 for photocopying and mail processing equipment which are not included in the table.

14

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Croghan adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. There was no impact as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 as Croghan has no material uncertain tax positions that would require recognition under FIN 48.

     A summary of other recently issued accounting pronouncements which have not yet been implemented but that may impact the consolidated financial statements of Croghan in the future are summarized in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Croghan’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices for the commercial banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon the information available as of the date of the financial statements.

     The most significant accounting policies followed by Croghan are presented in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. These policies, along with the other disclosures presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, provide information about how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the estimated liability for supplemental retirement benefits as the accounting areas that require the most subjective and complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, could be the most subject to revision in the near term as new information becomes available. Additionally, management has identified the determination of the value of goodwill as another accounting area that requires complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments.

     As noted in the section entitled “Provision for Loan Losses and the Allowance for Loan Losses”, Croghan performs a detailed quarterly analysis to assess the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. This analysis encompasses a variety of factors including the potential loss exposure for individually reviewed loans, the historical loss experience for each loan category (i.e., commercial, real estate, and consumer), the volume of non-performing loans (i.e., loans in nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more), the volume of loans past due 30 to 89 days, a segmentation of each loan category by internally-assigned risk grades, any significant changes in lending or loan review staff, an evaluation of current and future local and national economic conditions, any significant changes in the volume or mix of loans within each category, a review of the significant concentrations of credit, and any legal, competitive, or regulatory concerns.

     The estimated liability for supplemental retirement benefits is computed annually by an outside consulting firm. This estimate uses assumptions relating to market interest rates and the life expectancies of the participants that are subject to change over time.

     A goodwill evaluation is performed as of July 1 of each year. The evaluation process provides data to substantiate the balance in goodwill by estimating Croghan’s implied market value based upon recent bank merger and acquisition transactions. If the results indicate that Croghan’s estimated implied value is greater than its total stockholder’s equity plus goodwill as of the evaluation date, then no impairment exists. To date, none of Croghan’s goodwill evaluations have revealed the need for an impairment charge.

management’s report on internal control
over financial reporting

The management of Croghan Bancshares, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting of Croghan Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Corporation”) includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)	pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Corporation;
(2)	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Corporation; and
(3)	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

With the supervision and participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Treasurer, management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in the “Internal Control Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated on September 27, 1983 in the state of Ohio. The Corporation is a bank holding company and has one wholly-owned subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Bank”). The Corporation, through its subsidiary, operates in one industry segment, the commercial banking industry. The Bank, an Ohio chartered bank organized in 1888, has its main office in Fremont, Ohio and has branch offices located in Bellevue, Clyde, Custar, Fremont, Green Springs, Monroeville, Norwalk and Port Clinton, Ohio. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers primarily located in Sandusky County, Ottawa County, Wood County, the Village of Green Springs and the northwest portion of Huron County, which includes the Cities of Bellevue and Norwalk and the Village of Monroeville. Such customers are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and individuals.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented below.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the estimated liability for supplemental retirement benefits.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank established a trust department in 1990 and the assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as such items are not assets of the Bank.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold which mature overnight or within four days.

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH

The Bank was required to have $275,000 of non-interest bearing cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

SECURITIES

Securities are designated at the time of purchase as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. Securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, on such securities recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities, principally using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.

Restricted stock consists primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland stock. Such securities are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

Gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded on the trade date, using the specific identification method, and are included in non-interest income.

23

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

LOANS

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

The accrual of interest on real estate and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Personal loans are typically charged-off no later than 120 days past due and credit card loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and secondary components. For loans that are classified as impaired, a specific reserve is established when the discounted cash flow (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers classified (i.e., doubtful, substandard, or special mention) loans which are not impaired, as well as non-classified loans and is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The secondary component is maintained to cover economic and other external factors that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses and considers the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures.

24

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FORECLOSED ASSETS

Assets acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and any loan balance in excess of fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and any further write-downs are included in other operating expenses, as are gains or losses upon sale and expenses related to maintenance of the properties.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon the sale or disposition of the assets, the difference between the depreciated cost and proceeds is charged or credited to income. Depreciation is determined based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets (typically 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for equipment) and is computed primarily using the straight-line method.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE ASSET

Goodwill remaining from the 1996 purchase of Union Bancshares Corp. has been combined with the goodwill arising from the 2005 purchase of The Custar State Bank (“Custar”). The resulting total goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. The core deposit intangible asset arising from the 2005 purchase of Custar is being amortized over an eight-year period on a straight-line basis. Estimated future amortization of the core deposit intangible asset is as follows: 2008, $58,000; 2009, $57,000; 2010 and 2011, $58,000; and 2012, $57,000.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Annual provisions are made for the estimated liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits under agreements with one active and four retired officers at December 31, 2007.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Benefits from tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are not recognized if the likelihood that the tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority is considered to be 50% or less.

The Bank is not currently subject to state and local income taxes.

25

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

PER SHARE DATA

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. This computation is referred to as “basic earnings per share.”

Dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the declaration date.

Total temporarily impaired securities	$	10	$	6,049	$	481	$	33,900	$	491	$	39,949

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At December 31, 2007, there were 34 securities in an unrealized loss position, 32 of which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. When evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the issuer’s financial condition, whether the securities are issued by federally-sponsored government agencies or political subdivisions, whether downgrades by the bond rating agencies have occurred, industry analyst reports, and volatility in the bond market. Management has concluded that the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2007 were primarily the result of customary and expected fluctuations in the bond market related to changes in interest rates. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future for securities classified as available-for-sale, all security impairments as of December 31, 2007 are considered temporary.

At December 31, 2007, impaired loans totaling $2,285,000 had a related allowance for loan losses of $909,000 ($3,183,000 and $865,000, respectively, at December 31, 2006). The following is a summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses of impaired loans, which is part of the Bank’s overall allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

Loans on nonaccrual of interest amounted to $2,285,000 at December 31, 2007 and $3,795,000 at December 31, 2006. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest amounted to $237,000 at December 31, 2007 and $716,000 at December 31, 2006.

Certain directors and executive officers, including their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners, are loan customers of the Bank. Such loans are made in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Bank’s normal lending policies, including the interest rate charged and collateralization, and do not represent more than a normal collection risk. Such loans amounted to $864,000 and $848,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following is a summary of activity during 2007 and 2006 for such loans:

	Balance at						Balance
	beginning		Additions		Repayments		at end
			(Dollars in thousands)
2007	$	848	$	133	$	117	$	864
2006	$	1,955	$	205	$	1,312	$	848

Additions and repayments include loan renewals.

Most of the Bank’s lending activity is with customers primarily located within Sandusky County, Ottawa County, Wood County, the Village of Green Springs, and the northwest portion of Huron County. Credit concentrations, as determined using the North American Industry Classification System, that exceeded 5% of total loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 included $19,989,000 and $24,779,000, respectively, to borrowers in the construction industry; $30,668,000 and $33,302,000, respectively, to borrowers in the accommodation and food service industry; and $33,627,000 and $33,471,000, respectively, to borrowers in the manufacturing industry.

The construction industry concentration includes loans to residential and commercial contractors who construct or install roads, sewers, bridges, homes, hotels, motels, apartment or commercial buildings, electrical and plumbing infrastructure, and air comfort systems. These loans are generally secured by real property, equipment, and receivables. Repayment is expected from cash flow from providing such services.

NOTE 4 — LOANS (CONTINUED)

The accommodation and food service industry concentration includes loans for the construction, purchase, and operation of hotels, restaurants, lounges, and campgrounds. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment. Repayment is expected from cash flow from providing accommodations and food service to tourists visiting the Lake Erie region.

The manufacturing industry concentration includes loans to local manufacturers who produce goods for a wide variety of industries, including chemical, automotive, and food processing. These loans are generally secured by real property, equipment, and receivables. Repayment is expected from cash flows generated from these operations.

Credit losses arising from the Bank’s lending experience in both industries compare favorably with the Bank’s loss experience on its loan portfolio as a whole. Credit evaluation of construction industry and accommodation and food service industry lending is based on an evaluation of cash flow coverage of principal and interest payments and the adequacy of collateral received.

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The income tax provision attributable to income from operations differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before federal income taxes as a result of the following:

	2007			2006			2005
	(Dollars in thousands)

Other, net		27			30			(15	)
Total	$	2,348		$	2,289		$	2,333

The deferred federal income tax credit of $108,000 in 2007 and $40,000 in 2006, and the deferred federal income tax provision of $118,000 in 2005, resulted from the tax effects of temporary differences. There was no impact for changes in tax laws and rates or changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are presented below:

	2007		2006
	(Dollars in thousands)
Deferred tax liabilities:
Unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale	$	81	$	—
Purchase accounting basis difference		322		365
Depreciation of premises and equipment		179		249
Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends		421		421
Direct financing leases		385		500
Deferred loan costs and other		47		42
Total deferred tax liabilities		1,435		1,577
Deferred tax assets:
Unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale		—		106
Allowance for loan losses		722		816
Accrued expenses and other		470		491
Total deferred tax assets		1,192		1,413
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	243	$	164

The net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in “Other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Management believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will be realized. Consequently, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. The Corporation has adopted the policy of classifying any interest and penalties resulting from the filing of its income tax returns in the provision for income taxes. The Corporation had no significant unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and, likewise, no significant unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rates. The Corporation also had no accrued interest or penalties recorded as of the date of the adoption. Management has determined the Corporation has no tax positions for which it deems reasonably possible that the total amounts of the unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the 12 months subsequent to December 31, 2007. The tax years that remain open and subject to examination as of December 31, 2007 are years 2004-2006 for Federal and the state of Ohio.

NOTE 13 — EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Bank sponsors the Croghan Colonial Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a defined contribution plan which provides for both profit sharing and employer matching contributions. The Plan permits the investing in the Corporation’s common shares subject to various limitations. The Bank’s profit sharing and matching contributions to the 401(k) profit sharing plan for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $334,000, $316,000 and $297,000, respectively. The issuance of shares from treasury in 2007, 2006 and 2005, represented shares purchased by the Plan. As of December 31, 2007, the Plan held 17,756 common shares of the Corporation.

The Bank has entered into various split-dollar life insurance arrangements, including agreements with certain officers of the Bank to provide for supplemental retirement benefits. The Bank has also entered into other split-dollar life insurance arrangements for investment purposes. All split-dollar policies required the payment of single premiums. The cash value of all split-dollar policies amounted to $10,227,000 and $9,872,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In connection with the officer agreements, the Bank has provided an estimated liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits. Such liability amounted to $496,000 at December 31, 2007 and $507,000 at December 31, 2006 and is included in “Other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The provision (credit) for deferred compensation amounted to $(83,000) for 2006 and $108,000 for 2005 (none for 2007). The 2006 credit resulted from the resignation in 2006 of an officer of the Company who was covered under one of the agreements.

No other post-retirement or post-employment benefits are offered to retirees or employees.

The shareholders of the Corporation have approved the adoption of a stock option and incentive plan. However, no options or incentives have been awarded under the plan.

NOTE 14 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance sheet loans.

The following financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Contract amount
	2007		2006
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit, including commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit	$	69,374	$	71,283
Standby letters of credit	$	360	$	2,156

34

NOTE 14 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are reviewed for renewal at expiration. At December 31, 2007, the bank had outstanding standby letters of credit expiring in 2008 which aggregated $352,000, and outstanding standby letters of credit expiring in 2009 of $8,000. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank requires collateral supporting these commitments when deemed necessary.

NOTE 15 — REGULATORY MATTERS

The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, that the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from federal and state banking agencies categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

35

On a parent company only basis, the Corporation’s primary source of funds are dividends paid by the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of its net profits for the year combined with its retained profits of the two preceding years. Under these provisions, approximately $202,000 was available for dividends by the Bank to the Corporation on January 1, 2008, without the need to obtain the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally considers it to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice for a bank holding company to pay dividends except out of current operating income, although other factors such as overall capital adequacy and projected income may also be relevant in determining whether dividends should be paid.

Under a program initially approved by the Board of Directors in 2002, the Corporation periodically purchases its common shares in the over-the-counter market. Continuation of the program has been approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

The decision whether to purchase shares, the number of shares to be purchased and the price to be paid depends upon the availability of shares, prevailing market prices, and other possible considerations which might affect the advisability of purchasing shares. Since the February 2002 inception of the stock buy-back program, the Corporation has repurchased 176,753 common shares in the open market, of which 168,691 remained as treasury stock at December 31, 2007.

NOTE 17 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of recognized financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

	2007				2006
			Estimated				Estimated
	Carrying		fair		Carrying		fair
	amount		value		amount		value
	(Dollars in thousands)
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Cash and cash equivalents	$	25,349	$	25,349	$	11,843	$	11,843
Securities		51,479		51,507		61,913		61,929
Loans, net		347,156		347,627		353,678		350,836
Total	$	423,984	$	424,483	$	427,434	$	424,608
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Deposits	$	362,833	$	362,965	$	371,194	$	371,181
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements		11,106		10,761		15,388		14,790
Borrowed funds		24,500		24,624		17,600		17,319
Total	$	398,439	$	398,350	$	404,182	$	403,290

The preceding summary does not include accrued interest receivable, cash surrender value of life insurance, dividends payable, and other liabilities which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amount.

The Bank also has unrecognized financial instruments which relate to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments, $69,734,000 at December 31, 2007 and $73,439,000 at December 31, 2006, is considered to be the fair value since they represent commitments at current interest rates.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents:

Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.

Securities:

The fair value of securities (both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity) is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities or, if not available, estimated fair value was obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value of restricted stock is considered to be its carrying amount.

Loans:

Fair value for loans was estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, which re-price at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value for nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows. The estimated value of credit card loans is based on existing loans and does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing cardholders over the remaining life of the portfolio.

39

NOTE 17 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Deposit liabilities:

The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at year end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace.

Other financial instruments:

The fair value of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, as well as borrowed funds is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates.

The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

NOTE 18 — CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the normal course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiary may be involved in various legal actions, but in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 20 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. Statement 157 clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. Additionally, Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not anticipate the adoption of Statement 157 will have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

40

NOTE 20 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (Statement 159) which permits an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Once an entity has elected to record eligible items at fair value, the decision is irrevocable and the entity should report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings. Statement 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At the effective date, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at that date with the effect of the first measurement to fair value reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Management is currently in the process of evaluating what impact, if any; the adoption of Statement 159 will have on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

During 2007, the FASB issued EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsed Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-4), which concludes an employer should recognize a liability for postemployment benefits promised to an employee based on the substantive arrangement between the employer and the employee. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. While management has not yet completed its analysis of the impact the adoption of EITF 06-4 will have on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, at the present time, management’s best estimate is that the adoption will reduce pre-tax earnings $250,000 to $300,000 for the first quarter of 2008.

During 2007, the FASB issued EITF 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance (EITF 06-10), which stipulates an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement if, based on the substantive arrangement with the employee, the employer has agreed to maintain life insurance during the employee’s retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit. Under EITF 06-10, the employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement it has with the employee. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, including interim periods. Management is still evaluating what impact, if any; the adoption of EITF 06-10 will have on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (Statement 141R) which establishes principals and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests of the acquiree. Statement 141R also recognizes and measures any goodwill acquired, as well as gain resulting from a bargain purchase option. Statement 141R applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more entities and also requires that costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition be expensed as incurred. Statement 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted.

This information is an integral part of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
