however, in the opinion of the management of First Financial Bancorp.
(Bancorp), all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The consolidated financial statements of Bancorp, a bank and savings and loan
holding company, include the accounts of Bancorp and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries - First Financial Bank, Community First Bank &#038; Trust, Indiana
Lawrence Bank, Fidelity Federal Savings Bank, Citizens First State Bank,
Heritage Community Bank, The Clyde Savings Bank Company, Sand Ridge Bank, First
Financial Bancorp Service Corp., First Financial (OH)&nbsp;Statutory Trust I
(established to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities), and
First Financial Capital Advisors, LLC, a registered investment advisory
company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions for Form&nbsp;10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
footnotes necessary to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The consolidated balance sheet at December&nbsp;31, 2002 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the First Financial Bancorp. Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NOTE 2: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In the normal course of business, Bancorp offers a variety of financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk to its customers to aid them in meeting
their requirements for liquidity and credit enhancement and to reduce its own
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments
include standby letters of credit and commitments outstanding to extend credit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States do not require
these financial instruments to be recorded in the consolidated balance sheets,
statements of earnings, changes in shareholders&#146; equity or cash flows.
However, a discussion of these instruments follows.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp&#146;s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit and commitments
outstanding to extend credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those
instruments. Bancorp uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Following
is a discussion of these transactions.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Bancorp&#146;s portfolio
of standby letters of credit consists primarily of performance assurances made
on behalf of customers who have a contractual commitment to produce

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">or deliver goods or services. The risk to Bancorp arises
from its obligation to make payment in the event of the customers&#146; contractual
default. As of June&nbsp;30, 2003, Bancorp had issued standby letters of credit
aggregating $32,306 compared to $33,167 issued as of December&nbsp;31, 2002.
Management conducts regular reviews of these instruments on an individual
customer basis, and the results are considered in assessing the adequacy of
Bancorp&#146;s allowance for loan losses. Management does not anticipate any
material losses as a result of these letters of credit.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Loan commitments 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 amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements. Bancorp evaluates each customer&#146;s creditworthiness
on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary
by Bancorp upon extension of credit, is based on management&#146;s credit evaluation
of the counterparty. The collateral held varies, but may include securities,
real estate, inventory, plant, or equipment. Bancorp had commitments
outstanding to extend credit totaling $483,119 at June&nbsp;30, 2003 and $464,777 at
December&nbsp;31, 2002. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a
result of these commitments.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp discloses comprehensive income in the &#147;Consolidated Statements of
Changes in Shareholders&#146; Equity&#148;. Disclosure of the reclassification

</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp follows the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities&#148; in accounting for its derivative
activities. Bancorp has interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair
value hedges under SFAS No.&nbsp;133. Bancorp utilizes interest rate swap
agreements to effectively modify its exposure to interest rate risk by
converting certain fixed rate assets to a floating rate. The use of these
interest rate swaps allows Bancorp&#146;s subsidiary banks to offer a long-term
fixed-rate loan to commercial borrowers. The interest rate swaps allow Bancorp
to convert the fixed interest rate to a variable rate that better suits its
funding position. The swap agreements involve the receipt of floating rate
amounts in exchange for fixed interest payments over the life of the agreements
without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The swaps are
accounted for under the short-cut method. These contracts are designated as
hedges of

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">specific assets. The net interest receivable or payable on swaps is
accrued and recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of
the hedged asset. Bancorp had interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$11,840 at June&nbsp;30, 2003 and $5,012 at December&nbsp;31, 2002. The fair value of
the swaps was an unrealized loss of $631 at June&nbsp;30, 2003 and no unrealized
gain or loss at June&nbsp;30, 2002. This amount is included with other assets on
the balance sheet. A corresponding fair value adjustment was also included on
the balance sheet as a hedged item.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payment under
a contract in which Bancorp is in the receiving position. Although collateral
or other security may not be obtained, Bancorp minimizes its credit risk by
monitoring the credit standing of each counterparty and believes that each will
be able to fully satisfy its obligation under the agreement.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NOTE 5: CORPORATION-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES OF
SUBSIDIARY TRUST
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (the
&#147;capital securities&#148;) of subsidiary trust, which appears on the balance sheet,
are commonly known as Trust Preferred Securities. The subsidiary trust holds
solely junior subordinated debt securities of Bancorp (the &#147;debentures&#148;). The
capital securities were issued in third quarter of 2002 by a statutory business
trust &#151; First Financial (OH)&nbsp;Statutory Trust I, of which 100% of the common
equity of the trust is owned by Bancorp. The trust was formed with the sole
purpose of issuing the capital securities and investing the proceeds from the
sale of such capital securities in the debentures. The debentures held by the
trust are the sole assets of the trust. Distributions on the capital securities
are payable quarterly at a variable rate of interest, which is equal to the
interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures and are recorded as
interest expense of Bancorp. The capital securities are subject to mandatory
redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. Bancorp has
entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully or unconditionally
guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of the guarantees. The
debentures qualify as Tier I capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines and
are first redeemable, in whole or in part, by Bancorp on September&nbsp;25, 2007 and
mature on September&nbsp;25, 2032. The amount outstanding, net of offering costs,
as of June&nbsp;30, 2003 is $10,000.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NOTE 6: STOCK OPTIONS
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2003, Bancorp had two stock-based compensation plans. Bancorp
accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees&#148; and related
interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
Bancorp had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No.
123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,&#148; to stock-based employee
compensation.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NOTE 7: ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">In January of 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No.&nbsp;46, &#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51&#148; and applies immediately
to variable interest entities created after January&nbsp;31, 2003. It applies in
the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003, to
variable interest entities in which an enterprise hold a variable interest
entity that it acquired before February&nbsp;1, 2003. The Interpretation requires
the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the
entity&#146;s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity&#146;s expected residual
returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial
interests in the entity. Currently, entities are generally consolidated by an
enterprise when it has a controlling interest through ownership of a majority
voting interest in the entity. Bancorp was required to adopt this
pronouncement on July&nbsp;1, 2003 and does not expect an impact from the adoption.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;150, &#147;Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity&#148; was
issued in May of 2003 and is effective for financial instruments entered into
or modified after May&nbsp;31, 2003. This statement establishes standards for how
an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability.
Bancorp currently classifies its corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable
capital securities as a liability. Therefore, this pronouncement has no impact
on Bancorp&#146;s financial statements.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;15, 2003, Trust Preferred Securities, similar to those referred to in
Note 5, were issued by a
statutory business trust&#151;First Financial (OH)&nbsp;Statutory Trust II, of which 100%
of the common equity of the trust is owned by Bancorp. The subsidiary trust
holds solely junior subordinated debt securities of Bancorp (the &#147;debentures&#148;).
The trust was formed with the sole purpose of issuing the capital securities
and investing the proceeds from the sale of such capital securities in the
debentures. The debentures held by the trust are the sole assets of the trust.
Distributions on the capital securities are payable quarterly at a variable
rate of interest, which is equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust
on the debentures and are recorded as interest expense of Bancorp. The capital
securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon
repayment of

collectively, fully or unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject
to the terms of the guarantees. The debentures qualify as Tier I capital under
Federal Reserve Board guidelines and are first redeemable, in whole or in part,
by Bancorp on July&nbsp;15, 2008 and mature on July&nbsp;15, 2033. The issuance of the
new offering, net of offering costs, is $20,000.

This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2003, subject to

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NET INTEREST INCOME
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the amount by which
interest and fees generated by earning assets exceed the interest costs of
liabilities obtained to fund them. For analytical purposes, net interest
income is also presented in the table below adjusted to a tax equivalent basis
assuming a 35% marginal tax rate for interest earned on tax-exempt assets such
as municipal loans, tax-free leases, and investments. This is to recognize the
income tax savings that facilitates a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt
assets.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net interest income for the first six months of 2003 was $8,312 or 10.0% less
than the same period in 2002. The major contributing factor to the decline in
net interest income was net interest margin compression due to the asset
sensitive position of Bancorp&#146;s balance sheet. Bancorp&#146;s net interest margin
decreased to 4.27% in the first half of 2003 from 4.77% in the first half of
2002. Bancorp also reviews net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent
(non-GAAP) basis for peer comparison. Bancorp&#146;s net interest margin on a fully
tax equivalent basis decreased to 4.38% in the first half of 2003 compared with
a 4.89% margin in the first half of 2002. This margin compression was due to
continued downward repricing of assets without a point-for-point decrease in
deposit liability rates. The continued repricing of adjustable and variable
rate loans was the primary driver in loan interest in the first half of 2003
that was $13,723 or 12.8% lower than the comparable period a year ago.
Investment income declined by $3,047 or 18.1% from the same period in 2002. As
interest rates declined, cash flows from mortgage-related investment
prepayments and called securities accelerated, causing a redeployment of funds
at lower yields. In the first six months of 2003, interest income declined by
$17,109 from the same period in 2002. A decline in total interest

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">expense of
$8,797 or 21.2% in the first six months of 2003 versus the first six months of
2002 did not offset the decline in interest income. As a result of strategies
to manage interest rate risk, Bancorp also increased the amount of its
long-term whole-sale borrowings, thereby increasing the cost of its funding on
a relative basis.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $4,502 or 10.8% less
than the second quarter of 2002. Net interest margin compression was also the
major contributing factor to this decline. Bancorp&#146;s net interest margin
decreased to 4.17% in the second quarter of 2003 from 4.81% in the second
quarter of 2002. On a linked quarter basis (second quarter of 2003 compared to
first quarter of 2003), net interest income somewhat stabilized, decreasing by
only $57 or 0.15%. However, given the Federal Reserve&#146;s 25 basis point
reduction in rates in June of 2003, Bancorp anticipates continued negative
pressure on its net interest margin.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">During the second quarter of 2003, Bancorp repositioned the investment
portfolio by selling longer-maturity mortgage-backed securities and purchasing
shorter-maturity mortgage-backed securities, thus shortening the average
maturity of approximately $43,269 in certain fixed rate investments. This
strategy was intended to offset the adverse impact of accelerated prepayments
on the longer-term issues. The transaction resulted in a $31 after-tax loss in
the second quarter of 2003, but is expected to improve net interest income in
future periods.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Average outstanding loan balances on a linked-quarter basis were 3.0% higher.
The primary area of loan growth has been in the residential real estate
category, generally a lower credit risk loan category. On a linked-quarter
basis, the average real estate mortgage portfolio increased $55,610. That
growth, plus increases in commercial loans, offset decreases in construction,
installment, credit card, and leases, for total loan growth since December of
2002 of $82,895 or 3.02% on ending balances.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The impact of changes in volume and interest rates on net interest income is
illustrated in the following table. As shown, the decrease in market interest
rates had a significant effect on Bancorp&#146;s rates impacting both interest
income and interest expense for both the six months and quarter ended June&nbsp;30,
2003 in comparison to 2002. The decrease in rates affected interest income
more significantly than interest expense due to the asset-sensitive position of
Bancorp&#146;s balance sheet. Bancorp&#146;s adjustable and variable rate loans repriced
downward at a greater
magnitude than Bancorp was able to lower its deposit costs. The increase in
volume on earning assets, as well as the decrease in volume on interest-bearing
liabilities had a positive impact on net interest income for the quarter and
the year partially offsetting the decline in net interest income caused by the
decline in rates. The change in interest due to the combined effect of both
rate and volume has been allocated to the volume and rate variance on a
prorated basis.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net operating income represents net earnings before net securities
transactions. Net operating income for the first six months of 2003 was
$21,201 which was a decrease of $4,624 or 17.9% from the same period in 2002.
A major contributing factor to the decrease in net operating income from a year
ago was the $8,312 decrease in net interest income as outlined in the
&#147;Rate/Volume Analysis&#148; and &#147;Net Interest Income&#148; sections. Noninterest income
which was $670 less compared to the same period a year ago also contributed to
the decline in net operating income. Provision for loan loss expense was
$1,888 lower in the first half of 2003 compared to the first half of 2002.
This positive variance in provision for loan loss expense partially offset the
negative variances discussed previously.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, for the first half of
2003 was $28,064, a decrease of 2.27% from the same period in 2002. Service
charge income decreased $153 or 1.58% from the a year ago. Trust revenues for
the first six months of 2003 were $625 or 7.96% less than the comparable period
last year. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $173 or 7.40% over
last year. The other category of noninterest income decreased $48 or 0.54%
from a year ago. Included as a reduction in other income for the first half of
2003 were impairment charges of $628 against the mortgage-servicing asset in a
valuation reserve. There were no such charges in the first half of 2002.
Additionally, the first six months of 2002 contained a $223 non-recurring life
insurance gain.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Total noninterest expense decreased $303 or 0.47% in the first half of 2003
from the first half of 2002. The single largest category of decrease was
data-processing expense, down $878 from 2002 due to reduced expenses to
third-party service providers. This decrease was somewhat offset by increases
in salaries and employee benefits, up approximately $265 due to increased
healthcare costs and the addition of staff in support and risk management
functions and other which was up $332.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net operating income for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $2,838 or 21.1%
over the same three-month period in 2002. The decrease for the quarter was the
result of decreased net interest
income, increased provision for loan loss expense, partially offset by
increased noninterest income and lower noninterest expense.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Second quarter 2003 noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, was
$14,242, an increase of 2.07% from the second quarter of 2002. Service charge
income decreased $4 or 0.08% from the same quarter a year ago. Trust revenues
for the second quarter of 2003 were $346 or 8.95% less than the comparable

other income for the second quarter of 2003. There were no such charges in the
second quarter of 2002.

Occupancy expense was down $187 from 2002, while salaries and employee benefits
expense was down $131. These decreases were somewhat offset by a $158 increase
in other noninterest expense. On a linked quarter basis, total noninterest
expense remained relatively flat.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">For the first six months of 2003, income tax expense was $10,498 compared to
$12,698 for the same period in 2002, or a decrease of $2,200. In 2003, $10,546
of the tax expense was related to operating income with a tax benefit of $48
related to securities transactions. In the first six months of 2002, income
tax expense related to operating income was $12,696, with tax expense related
to securities transactions of $2.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2003 was $5,016, a decrease of
$1,368 when compared to $6,384 reported for the same period in 2002. Tax
expense relating to operating income totaled $5,074 and $6,384 for the quarters
ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, with a $58 tax benefit related to
securities transactions for the second quarter of 2003 and no tax expense for
2002.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">NET EARNINGS
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Net earnings for the first six months of 2003 were $21,241 or $0.47 in diluted
earnings per share compared to $25,832 or $0.56 in diluted earnings per share
for the same period in 2002. Net securities gains through June&nbsp;30, 2003 were

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management&#146;s periodic
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on Bancorp&#146;s past loan
loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations
that may affect the borrower&#146;s ability to repay (including the timing of future
payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the
loan portfolio,
current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts
and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that
may be susceptible to significant change. The evaluation of these factors is
completed by a group of senior officers from the financial, lending, and risk
management areas.

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The provision for loan losses totaled $7,156 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2003 or $1,888 less than the $9,044 recorded for the same period in 2002. For
the quarters ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, the provision for loan losses
totaled $3,942 and $3,404, respectively. Net charge-offs of $6,457 for the
first six months of 2003 were $1,662 lower than the $8,119 for the same period
in 2002. The percentage of net charge-offs to average loans for the year was
0.47% versus 0.58% in 2002. Bancorp continued to maintain appropriate reserves
as the reserve to loan ratio increased to 1.73% from 1.71% a year ago. Bancorp
will continue to closely monitor the quality of its loan portfolio and respond
accordingly.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">At June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, the recorded investment in loans that are considered
to be impaired under FASB Statement No.&nbsp;114 was $5,412 and $1,718,
respectively, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. The related allowance
for loan losses on these impaired loans was $784 at June&nbsp;30, 2003, and $195 at
June&nbsp;30, 2002. At June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, there were $547 and $1,287,
respectively, of impaired loans that did not have an allowance for loan losses.
The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the quarter ended June
30, 2003, and 2002, was approximately $5,969 and $1,786. For the six months
and quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2003, Bancorp recognized interest income on those
impaired loans of $33 and $13 compared to $14 and $8 for the same period in
2002. Bancorp recognizes income on impaired loans using the cash basis method.

accruing, increased $10,627 to $41,254 at the end of the second quarter 2003
from $30,627 at the end of the second quarter 2002. On a
linked quarter basis, total underperforming assets increased $4,476. The
primary reason for this increase is the addition of two commercial credits.
Nonaccrual loans are composed primarily of commercial, multi-family, and 1-4
family residential properties. Nonaccrual loans increased $4,555 from the
second quarter of 2002, and $3,934 from the linked quarter. Restructured loans
increased significantly to $7,188 from $39 a year ago. Restructured loans
increased as Bancorp continues to strengthen its position on problem credits.
Other real estate owned increased $185 from the second quarter of 2002 while
decreasing $270 from the linked quarter. Bancorp&#146;s level of nonperforming
assets is reflective of the uncertain economy in the corporation&#146;s primary

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Liquidity management is the process by which Bancorp provides for the
continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a
timely basis. These commitments include withdrawals by depositors, funding
credit commitments to borrowers, shareholder dividends, paying expenses of
operations, and funding capital expenditures.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Liquidity is derived primarily from deposit growth, maturing loans, the
maturity of investment securities, access to other funding sources and markets,
and a strong capital position. Total year-to-date average deposits are down
2.77% from the prior year. Average deposits on a linked quarter basis
increased 1.33%. Short-term borrowings increased $96,529 from year-end, while
long-term borrowings increased $35,421, in conjunction with asset/liability
management and funding strategies.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is marketable investment
securities, particularly those of shorter maturities. At June&nbsp;30, 2002,
securities maturing in one year or less amounted to $43,541, representing 5.71%
of the total of the investment securities portfolio. In addition, other types
of assets such as cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and securities
purchased under agreements to resell, as well as loans and interest-bearing
deposits with other banks

Total asset-funded sources of liquidity at June&nbsp;30, 2003, amounted to $766,341,
representing 19.6% of total assets. Sources of long-term asset funded
liquidity are derived from the maturity of investment securities and maturing
loans in excess of one year.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">At June&nbsp;30, 2003, Bancorp had classified $742,004 in investment securities
available-for-sale. Management examines Bancorp&#146;s liquidity needs in
establishing this classification in accordance with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No.&nbsp;115 on accounting for certain investments in debt
and equity securities.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Liquidity is very important and as such is both monitored and managed closely
by the asset/liability committee at each affiliate. Liquidity may be used to
fund capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $3,465 for the first six
months of 2003. In addition, remodeling is a planned and ongoing process given
the 103 offices of Bancorp and its subsidiaries. Material commitments for
capital expenditures as of June&nbsp;30, 2003 were approximately $9,078 which
primarily reflects commitments for two new branches. Management believes that
Bancorp has sufficient liquidity to fund its current commitments.

on-and off-balance sheet items in arriving at risk-adjusted total assets.
Regulatory capital is divided by risk-adjusted total assets, with the resulting
ratios compared to minimum standards to determine whether a bank has adequate
capital.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Regulatory guidelines require a 4.00% Tier 1 capital ratio, an 8.00% total
risk-based capital ratio, and a 4.0% leverage ratio. Tier 1 capital consists
primarily of common shareholders&#146; equity, net of certain intangibles, and total
risked-based capital is Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 supplementary capital, which
is primarily the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limits. The
leverage ratio is a result of Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets
less certain intangibles.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp&#146;s Tier I ratio at June&nbsp;30, 2003, was 12.5%, its total risked-based
capital was 13.8% and its leverage ratio was 8.90%. While Bancorp
subsidiaries&#146; ratios are well above regulatory requirements, management will
continue to monitor the asset mix which affects these ratios due to the risk
weights assigned various assets, and the allowance for loan losses, which
influences the total risk-based capital ratio.

for the last five quarters.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Management&#146;s analysis may contain forward-looking statements that are provided
to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance.
However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ from those discussed in the forward looking statements include, but
are not limited to, the strength of the local economies in which operations are
conducted, the effects of and changes in policies and laws of regulatory
agencies, inflation, and interest rates. For further discussion of certain
factors that may cause such forward-looking statements to differ materially
from actual results, refer to the 2002 Form&nbsp;10-K.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The accounting and reporting policies of Bancorp comply with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general
practices within the banking industry. These policies require estimates and
assumptions. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or
estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on Bancorp&#146;s
future financial condition and results of operations. In management&#146;s opinion,
some of these areas have a more significant impact than others on Bancorp&#146;s
financial reporting. For Bancorp, these areas currently include accounting for
the allowance for loan losses, pension costs, and goodwill.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Allowance for Loan Losses&#151;The level of the allowance for loan losses is based
upon management&#146;s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolios, past loan loss
experience, known and

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the borrower&#146;s ability to repay (including the timing of future
payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the
loan portfolio, economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including
the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired
loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The level of allowance
maintained is believed by management to be adequate to cover losses inherent in
the portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and
decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Pension&#151;Bancorp sponsors a non-contributory defined pension plan covering
substantially all employees. In accordance with applicable accounting rules,
Bancorp does not consolidate the assets and liabilities associated with the
pension plan. At the end of 2002, Bancorp&#146;s fair value of the plan assets was
less than its benefit obligation. Therefore, Bancorp recognized an accrued
benefit liability. The measurement of the accrued benefit liability and the
annual pension expense involves actuarial and economic assumptions. The
assumptions used in pension accounting relate to the discount rates, the
expected return on plan assets, and the rate of compensation increase.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Goodwill&#151;Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;141 &#147;Business
Combinations&#148; and No.&nbsp;142 &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148; were issued in
June of 2001 and were effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15,
2001. Under these rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives, if any, will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to
annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Bancorp has
selected October 1 as its date for annual impairment testing.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY MATTERS
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The $16,460 in lease financing presented on Bancorp&#146;s balance sheet in the loan
portfolio was reviewed in the first quarter of 2003 and has been determined to
be largely operating leases rather than direct financing leases, as they are
currently reported. Due to the immateriality of the lease portfolio, amounts
currently presented as direct financing leases will continue to be reported as
such until their maturity in approximately 15&nbsp;months. The related balance
sheet and income statement impact of the misclassification is immaterial. The
difference in presentation between direct financing leases and operating leases
is in the asset classification on the balance sheet and the timing and
classification of the income from the transactions. Operating leases are
reported as fixed assets with periodic depreciation expense and rental income,
whereas direct financing leases are reported as loan assets with periodic
interest income.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Management is not aware of any other events or regulatory recommendations that,
if implemented, are likely to have a material effect on Bancorp&#146;s liquidity,
capital resources, or operations.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As described in Bancorp&#146;s Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002,

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Bancorp has established controls and other procedures designed to ensure that
the information required to be disclosed in this report is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the required time periods (the &#147;disclosure
controls and procedures&#148;). Bancorp&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation,
Bancorp&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective (i)&nbsp;to ensure that
material information relating to Bancorp, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is communicated to them on a timely basis, and (ii)&nbsp;to accomplish
the purposes for which they were designed.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">There were no changes in Bancorp&#146;s internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Bancorp&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting.

                                    SECTION 3
                                    DEFERRALS

         3.1      Elective Deferral Of Salary. Subject to such rules as the
Administrator may prescribe, a Participant may elect to defer up to 50% of his
or her base salary for any Plan Year and 100% of his or her bonus or incentive
pay for any Plan Year by completing a deferral form and filing such form with
the Administrator prior to the first day of such Plan Year (or such earlier date
as may be prescribed by the Administrator). For purposes of the Plan, "base
salary" means the salary payable to a Participant by the Employer, excluding any
bonus or incentive compensation and excluding any part of a Participant's salary
which is not includable in his or her gross income because it was contributed to
a cafeteria plan, a flexible spending account, or a 401(k) plan (pursuant to
sections 125 or 402(e)(3) of the Code) or pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Plan.

         3.2      Changes In Elective Deferral Elections. Subject to such rules
as the Administrator may prescribe, a Participant who has elected to defer a
portion of his or her base salary and/or bonus or incentive pay may change the
amount of his or her deferral from one amount to another, or cease making
deferrals, effective as of the first day of any Plan Year (but only with respect
to amounts payable for services performed on or after the first day of that Plan
Year), by completing and signing a new deferral form and filing such form with
the Administrator prior to the first day of such Plan Year (or such earlier date
as may be prescribed by the Administrator).

         3.3      First Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the year in
which the Plan is first implemented, the Participant may make an election to
defer amounts payable for services to be performed subsequent to the election
within 30 days after the date the Plan is first effective for eligible
Participants.

         3.4      New Eligible Participants. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Employee first becomes a Participant who is eligible under this Plan after
the date the Plan is first effective, he or she may elect to defer a portion of
his or her salary for the remainder of the Plan Year after the date on which he
or she becomes an eligible Participant by completing and signing a deferral form
provided by the Administrator and filing such form with the Administrator within
30 days of the date on which he or she first becomes an eligible Participant.
Any election under the preceding sentence will be effective as of the first
payroll period beginning after the date the election is filed.

         3.5      Mandatory Deferrals. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, for any year in which a Participant is a "covered employee" as defined
in Code section 162(m)(3), regarding limits on deductions for compensation to
officers of publicly held corporations, the following mandatory deferral
provisions will apply.

                  3.5.1    Prior to the end of the year, the Administrator will
determine if the Participant's "applicable employee remuneration" from the
Employer for the year, as defined in Code section 162(m)(4), will exceed the
limit on deductions applicable to the Employer for that year pursuant to Code
section 162(m)(1). Any amount by which such applicable employee remuneration
will exceed such limit is referred to herein as an "excess amount."

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  3.5.2    Any excess amount for a year will be credited to the
Participant's Account as a mandatory deferral under this Plan for that year in
lieu of being currently paid to the Participant. The Administrator will have
discretion to establish procedures for crediting such mandatory deferrals to an
Account, including, without limitation, determining whether such deferrals are
made from the Participant's regular salary, bonus, or incentive payments, or
other compensation payable by the Employer. The Administrator also will have
discretion to determine the dates as of which such mandatory deferrals are
credited to the Account for a year, provided that they will be credited not
later than the dates they otherwise would have been paid to the Participant.

                                    SECTION 4
                      MAINTENANCE AND VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS

         4.1      Deferral Account. Each Participant's Account will consist of
the subaccount created and maintained under Section 4.1.1 for elective
deferrals, if any, and the subaccount created and maintained under Section 4.1.2
for mandatory deferrals, if any.

                  4.1.1    There will be established for each Participant who
has elected to defer a portion of his or her salary under Section 3.1 a separate
subaccount which will reflect the amounts credited to this Plan on behalf of the
Participant as elective deferrals and the assumed investment of those amounts.
Subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe, any amount deferred by
a Participant from his or her salary under Section 3.1 will be credited to the
Participant's elective deferral subaccount as of the day on which such deferred
amount would have otherwise been paid to the Participant and will be assumed to
have been invested on that date in the assumed investments requested by the
Participant according to Section 4.2.

                  4.1.2    There will be established for each Participant for
whom mandatory deferrals are made under Section 3.5 a separate subaccount which
will reflect the amounts credited to this Plan on behalf of the Participant as
mandatory deferrals and the assumed investment of those amounts. Subject to such
rules as the Administrator may prescribe, any amount deferred by a Participant
as a mandatory deferral under Section 3.5 will be credited to the Participant's
mandatory deferral subaccount as of the day on which such deferred amount would
have otherwise been paid to the Participant and will be assumed to have been
invested on that date in the assumed investments requested by the Participant
according to Section 4.2.

         4.2      Assumed Investments. The Employer will designate in writing
from time to time a limited number of "assumed investments" for purposes of the
Plan and notify the Participants of such assumed investment options. The credits
to each Participant's Account made in accordance with Section 4.1 will be
assumed to have been invested among those assumed investments, as requested in
writing by the Participant. Each Account will be adjusted as provided in Section
4.3 to reflect the investment returns or losses attributable to such assumed
investments. A Participant may request a change in the assumed investments of
his or her Account to other available assumed investments effective as of the
first day of each month, upon written notice to the Employer prior to such date
(or such earlier date as may be established by the Administrator). Some or all
of the assumed investments may be changed by the Employer to other assumed
investments, effective upon written notice from the Employer to all
Participants. No securities of any type issued by the Employer or an affiliate
of the Employer may be included among the assumed investments.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         4.3      Valuation. As of the end of each calendar year and such other
dates as the Administrator may provide, each Participant or, in the event of his
or her death, his or her Beneficiary, will be furnished a statement showing: (i)
the balance of the Participant's Account, (ii) the total credits to such Account
during the preceding year from his or her salary, (iii) any assumed investment
return or loss, and (iv) if amounts credited to his or her Account are assumed
to have been invested in securities, a description of such securities including
the number of shares assumed to have been purchased by the amounts credited to
his or her Account.

         4.4      Vesting. The credits to each Participant's Account from his or
her salary pursuant to Section 3.1 and the assumed earnings thereon will be 100%
vested at all times.

                                    SECTION 5
                                  DISTRIBUTION

         5.1      General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, no
amount will be paid with respect to a Participant's Account while he or she
remains an Employee.

         5.2      Termination Of Employment. Payments of the vested portion then
credited to a Participant's Account will be made in cash to him or her in one
lump sum, or in monthly, quarterly, or annual installment payments over not more
than ten years, commencing on the first day of the third month following the
month in which he or she ceases to be an Employee, as timely elected by the
Participant according to Section 5.2.2.

                  5.2.1    The amount of each installment payable under this
Section 5.2 will be a fraction of the vested portion of the amounts credited to
the Participant's Account as of the installment payment date, the numerator of
which is 1 and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of
installments remaining to be paid (including the installment to be paid on the
subject installment payment date). If the amount of any installment is less than
$1,000, it will be increased to $1,000; provided that if the remaining amount of
the vested portion credited to the Account on any installment date is less than
$1,000, the payment will be the amount necessary to reduce the amount of the
vested portion credited to the Account to $0.

                  5.2.2    Any election of a payment option under this Section
5.2 must be made in writing when the Participant is first eligible to
participate in this Plan and before any amount is credited to his or her
Account. If a Participant does not properly elect a payment option, he or she
will be deemed to have elected to receive his or her benefits in one lump sum
payment. A Participant may change his or her election under this Section 5.2
only by filing an written amended election with the Administrator at least one
year before the amount to which the change relates becomes payable to him or
her. Any such elections will apply to all amounts in the Account unless the
Participant makes separate elections for the portions of his or her Account
attributable to elective deferrals under Section 3.1 and mandatory deferrals
under Section 3.5.

         5.3      Death. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee by reason of
his or her death, or if a Participant dies after ceasing to be an Employee but
before all of the amounts credited to his or her Account have been paid, the
Employer will pay the Participant's Beneficiary the amounts credited to the
Participant's Account in one lump sum as of the first business day of the ninth
month beginning after the Participant's death; provided, however, that if the
Participant has elected to have any part of his or her Account distributed in
installments and if he or she dies after distribution has commenced, any
installments remaining unpaid as of the Participant's death will be paid to the
Beneficiary in one lump sum 60 days after the Participant's death.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         5.4      Disability. Payments of a Participant's Account will be made
to him or her in the event of his or her disability if he or she terminates
employment with the Employer due to his or her disability, in the form and
commencing at the time specified in Section 5.2.

         5.5      Distributions For Payment Of Taxes. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, if the Administrator or the Internal Revenue Service
reasonably determines that a Participant is currently subject to income or other
tax on any amount in his or her Account, the Employer will promptly pay to the
Participant from his or her Plan Account in one lump sum that portion of the
vested portion of the balance then in his or her Account that is necessary for
the payment of federal, state, and local taxes (including taxes due to the
distribution), and interest and penalties thereon, that results from such
determination, and the balance in the Participant's Account will immediately be
reduced by the amount of such distribution. No such distribution will exceed the
vested portion of the balance in the Participant's Account immediately prior to
the distribution.

         5.6      Distribution Of Mandatory Deferrals. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, amounts credited to a Participant's Account as mandatory
deferrals and deemed earnings thereon will be distributed as of the later of the
following dates, if such dates occur prior to the Participant's termination of
Employment with the Employer: (i) the end of the second Plan Year beginning
after the Plan Year for which the mandatory deferrals were credited to the
Account, or (ii) the end of the first Plan Year for which the distribution of
such mandatory deferrals and earnings will not cause the Participant's
"applicable employee remuneration" for the year, as defined in Code section
162(m)(4), to exceed the limit on deductions applicable to the Employer for that
year pursuant to Code section 162(m)(1). Provided, however, no such distribution
prior to termination of employment will be made to the extent it would cause the
section 162(m)(1) limit to be exceeded. Distributions pursuant to this section
5.6 will be made as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable year,
and after the Administrator has been able to obtain and process all necessary
information for making the distribution.

                                    SECTION 6
                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         6.1      General. The general administration of the Plan and the
responsibility for carrying out its provisions will be placed in a committee of
one or more members (the "Administrator"), who will be appointed from time to
time by and serve at the pleasure of the Employer. Any person who is appointed a
member of the Administrator will signify his or her acceptance by filing a
written acceptance with the Employer or by performing his or her duties as a
member of the Administrator. The initial members of the Administrator are Terri
Ziepfel, Janie McCauley, and Gina Brackett. Any member of the Administrator may
resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Employer and such
resignation will become effective upon the date specified therein or the date of
receipt, whichever is later. A member of the Administrator who is an employee of
the Employer will automatically cease to be such a member upon the termination
of such employment. No member of the Administrator who is a Participant will act
on any matter involving his or her own account or interest under the Plan.

         6.2      Expenses. Expenses of administering the Plan will be borne by
the Employer.

         6.3      Compensation Of Administrator. The members of the
Administrator will not receive compensation for their services as such, and,
except as required by law, no bond or other security need be required of them in
such capacity in any jurisdiction.

                                       5

<PAGE>

         6.4      Rules Of Plan. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the
Administrator may, from time to time, establish rules for the administration of
the Plan and the transaction of its business. The Administrator may correct
errors, however arising, and, as far as possible, adjust any benefit payments
accordingly. The determination of the Administrator as to the interpretation of
the provisions of the Plan or any disputed question will be conclusive upon all
interested parties. The Administrator will establish a claims procedure for the
Plan that is consistent with the requirements of section 503 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the regulations thereunder.
Participants must exhaust all claims and appeals procedures available to them
under that claims procedure before commencing action relating to this Plan in
any court or before any administrative agency.

         6.5      Agents And Employees. The Administrator may authorize one or
more agents to execute or deliver any instrument. The Administrator may appoint
or employ such agents, counsel, auditors, physicians, clerical help, and
actuaries as in the Administrator's judgment may seem reasonable or necessary
for the proper administration of the Plan.

         6.6      Indemnification. The Employer will indemnify each member of
the Administrator for all expenses and liabilities (including but not limited to
attorney's fees) arising out of the administration of the Plan, other than any
expenses or liabilities resulting from the Administrator's own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification will be in
addition to any other rights to which the members of the Administrator may be
entitled as a matter of law.

                                    SECTION 7
                               FUNDING OBLIGATION

This Plan constitutes a promise by the Employer to make benefit payments in the
future according to the terms of the Plan. The Employer will have no obligation
to fund, either by the purchase or the investment in any account or by any other
means, its obligation to Participants hereunder and will have no obligation to
actually purchase any investment to reflect the assumed investment of any
Participant's Account. If, however, the Employer does elect to allocate assets
to provide for any such obligation, the assets allocated for such purpose will
be assets of the Employer subject to claims against the Employer, including
claims of the Employer's creditors, to the same extent as are other corporate
assets, and the Participants will have no right or claim against the assets so
allocated, other than as general unsecured creditors of the Employer.

                                    SECTION 8
                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Employer may, without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, amend
or terminate the Plan at any time and in any manner (including, without
limitation, the payment of amounts due to the Plan's termination at times
earlier than otherwise provided herein); provided that no amendment will be made
or act of termination taken which divests any Participant of the right to
receive payment under the Plan with respect to amounts credited to the
Participant's Account immediately prior to the effective date of the amendment
or termination. This Plan is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns of the parties hereto, including the Employer and each
Participant and Beneficiary, present and future. If the Employer merges or
consolidates with any other entity, the continuing entity resulting from that
merger or consolidation will be obligated to perform the duties and obligations
of the Employer as set forth in this Plan. The Employer further agrees that if
it will dissolve, liquidate, or sell substantially all of the assets of the
business of the Employer, it will arrange to have the terms and provisions of
this Plan fulfilled prior to the distribution, disposal, or sale of the assets
of the Employer.

                                    SECTION 9
                           NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS

No Participant or Beneficiary will have any right to alienate, commute,
anticipate, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right to
receive the payments required to be made by the Employer hereunder (except the
right to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries as provided herein), which
payments and the right to receive them are expressly declared to be
nonassignable and nontransferable. In the event of any attempt to alienate,
commute, anticipate, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer, or dispose of the right
to receive the payments required to be made by the Employer hereunder, the
Employer will have no further obligation to make any payments otherwise required
of it hereunder. The rights of a Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan will
not be subject to the rights of creditors of the Participant or Beneficiary and
will be exempt from execution, attachment, assignment, or any judicial relief or
order for the benefit of any creditors or other third persons having claims
against the Participant or Beneficiary.

                                   SECTION 10
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         10.1     Delegation. Any matter or thing to be done by the Employer
will be done by its Board of Directors, except that, from time to time, the
Board by resolution may delegate to any person or committee certain of its
rights and duties hereunder. Any such delegation will be valid and binding on
all persons and the person or committee to whom or which authority is delegated
will have full power to act in all matters so delegated until the authority
expires by its terms or is revoked by the Board, as the case may be.

         10.2     No Contract Of Employment. Nothing in this Plan will be
construed as conferring upon any Participant any right to continue, for any
period of time, in the employ of the Employer, or to create a contract of
employment. The right of the Employer to discipline or discharge a Participant
will not be affected by reason of the existence of this Plan or any of the
provisions thereof.

         10.3     Facility Of Payment. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit
of a minor, an incompetent person, or other person incapable of receipting
therefore may be paid to such person's guardian or to the party providing or
reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment
will fully discharge the Administrator and the Employer and all other parties
with respect thereto.

         10.4     Reliance On Data. The Employer, the Administrator, and all
other persons associated with the operation of the Plan may reasonably rely on
the truth, accuracy, and completeness of all data provided by a Participant
and/or Beneficiary, including, without limitation, data with respect to address,
age, health, marital status, elections, and designations filed in connection
with the Plan by any Participant or Beneficiary or the representatives of such
persons, without duty to inquire into the genuineness thereof. Each Participant
and Beneficiary is responsible for advising the Administrator of any change in
such data.

         10.5     Tax Consequences. The Employer does not represent or guarantee
that any particular federal or state income, estate, payroll, or other tax
consequences will occur because of a Participant's participation in this Plan.
Each Participant or Beneficiary is solely responsible for obtaining advice
regarding his or her federal, state, or local income, estate, payroll, or other
tax responsibilities arising from participation in this Plan.

                                       7

<PAGE>

         10.6     Withholding. The Employer will withhold from payments or
benefits hereunder any taxes required to be withheld from such payments or with
respect to a Participant's Account under local, state, or federal law. The
Employer may withhold necessary amounts from a Participant's other compensation
if amounts currently payable under this Plan are not adequate for such
withholding.

         10.7     QDROs. To the extent required by a court order which meets the
requirements for a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code section
414(p), any portion of a Participant's vested benefits may be paid to (or a
portion of a Participant's Account may be set aside for the benefit of) the
Participant's spouse, former spouse, or other alternate payee. This provision
will be administered in accordance with Code Section 414(p) and guidance
thereunder.

         10.8     Applicable Law. The Plan will be governed by applicable
federal law and, to the extent not preempted by applicable federal law, the laws
of the State of Ohio.

         10.9     Separability Of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan is
held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not
affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan will be construed and enforced
as if such provision had not been included.

         10.10    Headings. Headings used throughout the Plan are for
convenience only and will not be given legal significance.

         10.11    Counterparts. The Plan may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original. All counterparts will
constitute one and the same instrument, which will be sufficiently evidenced by
any one thereof.

                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Amendment to Employment Agreement is entered between Stanley N.
Pontius and First Financial Bancorp, effective as of the date of signing by the
undersigned executive, under the following circumstances:

         A.       Certain changes in the FFBC Split Dollar Life Insurance
                  Program and interest rates make it desirable for parties to
                  amend and clarify paragraph 5(h) of the employment agreement
                  in letter form, entered between the parties on or about August
                  4, 2000 (hereinafter "Employment Agreement").

         B.       The parties desire to reduce their agreement to amend their
                  Employment Agreement to writing.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following amendment in
consideration of continued employment and other valuable consideration:

         1.       Section 5(h) of the Employment Agreement is amended as
                  follows:

                  (h)      If your Date of Termination is within twelve (12)
                           months after a Change in Control, and provided that
                           you either elect to have that Policy described in
                           your Split Dollar Agreement assigned to you as
                           specified in Section IX of the Split Dollar Agreement
                           or you consent to the termination of your rights
                           under the Split Dollar Agreement, you will receive a
                           payment (the "Split Dollar Payment") within ninety
                           (90) days of your Date of Termination in one lump-sum
                           equal to the present value of the death benefit you
                           would have received under the Split Dollar Agreement,
                           determined as if your last day of work was your Date
                           of Termination, were then eligible to receive a
                           retirement benefit under the early, normal, late, or
                           disability retirement provisions of First Financial
                           Bancorp Employees' Pension Plan (whether or not this

undersigned executive, under the following circumstances:

         C.       Certain changes in the FFBC Split Dollar Life Insurance

                  in letter form, entered between the parties on or about June

         D.       The parties desire to reduce their agreement to amend their
                  Employment Agreement to writing.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following amendment in
consideration of continued employment and other valuable consideration:

         3.       Section 5(h) of the Employment Agreement is amended as

                           you either elect to have that Policy described in
                           your Split Dollar Agreement assigned to you as
                           specified in Section IX of the Split Dollar Agreement

                           is actually the case), and died at age 75 when the
                           Split Dollar Agreement was still in effect. For
                           purposes of this Section 5, present value will be

CONFIDENTIAL

                                                        Effective April 30, 2003

C. Thomas Murrell III
Senior Vice President and
Chief Lending Officer
First Financial Bancorp
300 High Street
P.O. Box 476
Hamilton, OH 45012

Dear Tom:

         Effective April 30, 2003, you completed two years of employment with
First Financial Bancorp ("FFBC") and your employment agreement dated April 30,
2001 renewed for an additional two year term. This letter is intended to set
forth in one document the current agreement between FFBC with respect to your
employment terms and the severance arrangements available to you as a manager
employed by FFBC in a key executive position. It is intended to clarify any
ambiguities which exist in the earlier agreement concerning renewals and
severance pay.

         In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this letter, FFBC
shall provide to you, and you shall receive from FFBC, the benefits set forth in
this letter ("Agreement"), if your employment with FFBC is terminated during the
term of this Agreement.

1.       Purpose.

         This Agreement establishes certain basic terms and conditions relating
         to your employment with FFBC, and special arrangements and dispute
         resolution proceedings relating to the termination of your employment
         for any reason other than: (i) your retirement; (ii) your becoming
         totally and permanently disabled under the FFBC long-term disability
         plan or policy; or (iii) your death. This Agreement supersedes all
         prior

<PAGE>

C. Thomas Murrell III

         agreements with FFBC and any of its affiliate banks or any predecessor
         businesses, except the Confidentiality Agreement concurrently entered,
         or previously entered, between you and FFBC, and the special severance
         benefits provided under this Agreement are to be provided instead of
         any other severance arrangements offered by FFBC or its affiliate
         banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither your termination of
         employment nor anything contained in this Agreement shall have any
         affect upon your rights under any tax-qualified "pension benefit plan,"
         as such term is defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
         of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"); or under any "welfare benefit plan" as
         defined in ERISA, including by way of illustration and not limitation,
         any medical surgical or hospitalization benefit coverage or long-term
         disability benefit coverage; or under any non-qualified deferred
         compensation arrangement, including by way of illustration and not
         limitation, any stock incentive plan or non-qualified pension plan; or
         under the FFBC Performance Incentive Plan for any completed plan year.

2.       Employment.

         FFBC agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, you will be
         employed with FFBC, and any other direct or indirect subsidiary or
         affiliate of FFBC to which you may be transferred, in your present
         position or in a position that is comparable to your present position
         in compensation, responsibility and stature and for which you are
         suited by education and background and that:

         (a)      you are, and will continue to be, eligible to participate in
                  any employee benefit plan of FFBC in accordance with its
                  terms; and

         (b)      you will be entitled to the same treatment under any generally
                  applicable employment policy or practice as any other member
                  of Executive Management Group whose position in the
                  organization is comparable to yours.

         Those plans, policies and practices that generally apply to other
         members of the Executive Management Group will be referred to in this
         Agreement as your "Employment Benefits." Your Employment Benefits may
         be modified from time to time after the date hereof without violation
         of this Agreement if the changes apply generally to other members of
         the Executive Management Group.

3.       Term of Agreement.

         This Agreement shall become effective on the date of this Agreement
         ("Commencement Date") and shall continue in effect through the earlier
         of (i) the second anniversary of the Commencement Date; (ii) the date
         of your retirement, death or total and permanent

         disability; or (iii) the completion of full payment of all benefits
         promised hereunder. Absent your death, total and permanent disability
         or retirement, this Agreement shall be renewed annually from and after
         the second anniversary of the Commencement Date unless written notice
         to the contrary is given by you or by FFBC at least six (6) months
         prior to the expiration of the term, including any extension thereof.

4.       Termination of Employment.

         Your employment may be terminated in accordance with any of the
         following paragraphs, but only upon one (1) month's advance written
         notice (which period shall be referred to in this Agreement as the
         "Notice Period"):

         (a)      Involuntary Termination. FFBC may terminate your employment
                  without cause. In such an event, you shall continue to receive
                  your full salary and Employment Benefits during the Notice
                  Period. The expiration of the Notice Period shall be your
                  "Date of Termination." Upon your Date of Termination, you
                  shall be entitled to those benefits provided under Section 5,
                  provided you give FFBC the release and covenant not to sue
                  described in Section 5.

         (b)      Involuntary Termination for Cause. FFBC may terminate your
                  employment for "Cause" with written notice setting forth the
                  Cause for termination. "Cause" means a willful engaging in
                  gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to
                  FFBC. "Willful" means an act or omission in bad faith and
                  without reasonable belief that such act or omission was in, or
                  not opposed to, the best interests of FFBC. The expiration of
                  the Notice Period is your "Date of Termination for Cause."
                  Upon your Date of Termination for Cause, you shall only be
                  entitled to those benefits provided under Section 6.

         (c)      Voluntary Termination. You may voluntarily terminate your
                  employment. In such an event, you shall continue to receive
                  your full salary and Employment Benefits during the Notice
                  period provided you satisfactorily perform your duties during
                  the Notice Period unless relieved of those duties by FFBC. The
                  expiration of the Notice Period is your "Voluntary Date of
                  Termination." Upon your Voluntary Date of Termination, you
                  shall only be entitled to those benefits provided under
                  Section 6.

         (d)      Voluntary Termination for Good Reason. You may terminate your
                  employment by notice setting forth a Good Reason for
                  termination if the notice is delivered to FFBC within thirty
                  (30) days following the occurrence of any "Good Reason." "Good
                  Reason" means a (i) change in the duties of your position, or
                  the transfer to a new position, in violation of Section 2;
                  (ii) substantial alteration

<PAGE>

                  in the nature or status of your responsibilities in violation
                  of Section 2; (iii) reduction in your base salary; (iv)
                  refusal by FFBC, or its successor, to renew the term of this
                  Agreement for any reason, prior to your reaching your normal
                  retirement date under the FFBC Pension Benefit Plan; or (v)
                  changes in your Employment Benefits in violation of Section 2.
                  If you give notice of termination for Good Reason, you shall
                  continue to receive your full base salary and Employment
                  Benefits during the Notice Period as in effect prior to the
                  event that is the Good Reason for termination, subject to the
                  right of FFBC to make any changes to your Employment Benefits
                  permitted in accordance with Section 2. The expiration of the
                  Notice Period is your "Date of Termination." Upon your Date of
                  Termination, you shall be entitled to those benefits provided
                  under Section 5, provided you give FFBC the written release
                  and covenant not to sue described in Section 5.

5.       Special Severance Benefits.

         If your employment with FFBC is involuntarily terminated in accordance
         with Section 4(a) or you voluntarily terminate your employment for Good
         Reason in accordance with Section 4(d) and you provide FFBC with a
         separate, written release and covenant not to sue (on a form provided
         by and satisfactory to FFBC) which releases FFBC from all claims
         arising from your employment and termination of your employment, and
         you do not revoke this release and covenant not to sue, then you shall
         receive the following benefits, less any applicable withholding
         required for federal, state or local taxes:

         (a)      your base salary shall be continued in effect for a period of
                  twenty-four (24) months from your Date of Termination
                  (hereinafter called your "Severance Pay Period");

         (b)      if, prior to your Date of Termination, you have participated
                  in the FFBC Performance Incentive Plan for a complete calendar
                  year, you will receive an incentive compensation payment
                  within thirty (30) days of your Date of Termination in one
                  lump-sum in an amount equal to 2.0 times the percentage of the
                  incentive payment made or required to be made for the calendar
                  year pursuant to the Performance Incentive Plan immediately
                  preceding the calendar year in which your Date of Termination
                  occurs;

         (c)      if your Date of Termination is within twelve (12) months after
                  a Change in Control, you will receive a payment within thirty
                  (30) days of your Date of Termination in one lump-sum in an
                  amount equal to the total of the following:

                  (i)      With respect to any shares of Stock subject to an
                           Option granted to you as of the time of the Change in
                           Control under the First Financial Bancorp

                           you cannot exercise as a result of your termination
                           of employment, the difference between the fair market
                           value of such Stock, determined as of your Date of
                           Termination, and the Option Price.

                  (ii)     With respect to any Restricted Stock granted to you
                           under the Incentive Plan as of the time of the Change
                           in Control which you forfeit as a result of your
                           termination of employment, the fair market value of
                           such Restricted Stock, determined as of your Date of
                           Termination and as if all restrictions had been
                           removed.

                  (iii)    For purposes of this Section 5, "Stock," "Options,"
                           "Option Price," "Restricted Stock" and "Committee"
                           will have the meaning given those terms in the
                           Incentive Plan, and your right to exercise Options or
                           to receive Restricted Stock without forfeiture will
                           be determined after any adjustments made by the
                           Committee under Sections 8.8 and 11.1 of the
                           Incentive Plan, and after any amendments made to the
                           Incentive Plan in connection with the Change in
                           Control.

                  (iv)     For purposes of this Section 5, "Change in Control"
                           will have the following meaning: (a) a plan has been
                           approved by the shareholders of FFBC and consummated
                           for FFBC to be merged or consolidated with another
                           corporation and as a result of such merger or
                           consolidation less than 75% of the outstanding voting
                           securities of the surviving or resulting corporation
                           will be owned in the aggregate by the former
                           shareholders of FFBC as the same shall have existed
                           immediately prior to such merger or consolidation;
                           (b) an agreement for the sale by FFBC of
                           substantially all of its assets to another
                           corporation which is not a wholly owned subsidiary
                           has been approved by the shareholders (or the Board
                           of Directors or appropriate officers if shareholder
                           approval is not required) and consummated; (c)
                           "beneficial ownership" as defined in Rule 13d-3
                           promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
                           (the "Exchange Act") of twenty percent (20%) or more
                           of the total voting capital stock of FFBC then issued
                           and outstanding has been acquired by any person or
                           "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the
                           Exchange Act; or (d) individuals who were members of
                           the Board of FFBC immediately prior to a meeting of
                           the shareholders of FFBC involving a contest for the
                           election of directors do not constitute a majority of
                           the Board immediately following such election, unless
                           the election of such new directors was recommended to
                           the shareholders by the management of FFBC. The Board

         (d)      your Employment Benefits shall be continued during your
                  Severance Pay Period, subject to the right of FFBC to make any
                  changes to your Employment Benefits permitted in accordance
                  with Section 2; provided, however, that you shall not:

                           sickness or illness first manifesting itself, after
                           your Date of Termination;

                  (iii)    be eligible to continue to make contributions to any

                  coverage upon the expiration of your Severance Pay Period;

         (f)      you shall be entitled to full executive outplacement
                  assistance with an agency selected by FFBC with the fee paid
                  by FFBC in an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of your
                  annual base salary;

         (g)      with respect to the Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan
                  Agreement (the "Split Dollar Agreement") to which you are a
                  party (and solely for purposes of the Split Dollar Agreement),
                  the duration of your Severance Pay Period shall be considered
                  as if it were active employment for purposes of determining
                  whether you were eligible to receive a retirement benefit
                  under the early retirement provisions of First Financial
                  Bancorp Employees' Pension Plan, as provided in Section VI(B)
                  of the Split Dollar Agreement; and

         (h)      If your Date of Termination is within twelve (12) months after
                  a Change in Control, and provided that you either elect to
                  have that Policy described in your Split Dollar Agreement
                  assigned to you as specified in Section IX of the Split Dollar
                  Agreement or you consent to the termination of your rights
                  under the Split Dollar Agreement, you will receive a payment
                  (the "Split Dollar

                  Payment") within ninety (90) days of your Date of Termination
                  in one lump-sum equal to the present value of the death
                  benefit you would have received under the Split Dollar
                  Agreement, determined as if your last day of work was your
                  Date of Termination, were then eligible to receive a
                  retirement benefit under the early, normal, late, or
                  disability retirement provisions of First Financial Bancorp
                  Employees' Pension Plan (whether or not this is actually the
                  case), and died at age 75 when the Split Dollar Agreement was
                  still in effect. For purposes of this Section 5, present value
                  will be determined using a discount rate based upon the
                  effective U.S. Treasury securities rate for the applicable
                  discount period (the number reached by subtracting your age at
                  Date of Termination from 75), not to exceed 10 years.
                  Notwithstanding the prior two sentences, if you elect to
                  receive an assignment of the policy under Section IX of the
                  Split Dollar Agreement, the Split Dollar Payment shall be
                  applied to the cash payment to FFBC required under Section IX
                  of the Split Dollar Agreement, and any portion of the Split
                  Dollar Payment in excess of the amount required under Section
                  IX shall be paid to you. The provisions of this Paragraph (h)
                  will apply whether or not your Split Dollar Agreement is
                  terminated before you receive the Split Dollar Payment.

         (i)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
                  receipt of any payment under Section 5 of this Agreement, in
                  combination with any other payments to you from FFBC or its
                  affiliates, shall, in the opinion of independent tax counsel
                  of recognized standing selected by FFBC, result in the payment
                  by you of any excise tax provided for in Section 280G and
                  Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the amount of
                  payments under Section 5 of this Agreement shall be reduced to
                  the extent required, in the opinion of independent tax
                  counsel, to prevent the imposition of such excise tax. The
                  reduction of payments under this Agreement shall be made after
                  any reduction made under Section 11.2 of the First Financial
                  Bancorp 1991 Stock Incentive Plan and you will have the right
                  to select the order in which payments under this Section 5
                  will be reduced.

         The release and covenant not to sue which you agree to provide prior to
         the receipt of special severance benefits under this Section 5 of this
         Agreement shall comply with the requirements of the Older Workers
         Benefit Protection Act and applicable state and federal laws and
         regulations. If you do not provide FFBC with a written release and
         covenant not to sue, any claims concerning this Agreement or otherwise
         arising from your employment with FFBC, or its affiliate banks, shall
         be subject to final and binding arbitration as described in Section 7.

         Upon your Date of Termination for Cause in accordance with Section 4(b)
         or your Voluntary Date of Termination in accordance with Section 4(c),
         all special severance benefits under this Agreement will be void. In
         such an event, you shall be eligible for any benefits provided in
         accordance with the plans and practices of FFBC that are applicable to
         employees generally.

7.       Arbitration.

         Any dispute under this Agreement, and any claims of wrongful or
         discriminatory termination based on any state or federal statute, tort,
         public policy, contract or promissory estoppel theory, including any
         dispute as to the cause or reason for termination, shall be submitted
         to final and binding arbitration, subject to the National Rules for the
         Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration

                  claim that you were discriminated against in violation of any
                  federal law or statute, you shall be reimbursed by FFBC for
                  the filing fee and any reasonable costs or expenses incurred
                  in such a challenge, including reasonable attorney's fees;

         (c)      The arbitration hearing shall be held in Hamilton, Ohio,
                  unless the parties mutually agree to another location;

         (d)      Each party shall exchange documents to be utilized as exhibits
                  in the arbitration hearing and each party shall be limited to
                  two (2) pre-hearing depositions of two (2) hours each, unless
                  the arbitrator orders additional discovery;

         (e)      The arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with Rule 12
                  of the above-referenced Rules of the American Arbitration
                  Association, except that if, for any reason, an arbitrator
                  cannot be selected by the process described in Rule 12,
                  subparts (i) through (iii), the American Arbitration
                  Association shall submit the names of seven (7) additional
                  arbitrators from its Roster and the parties shall select the
                  arbitrator by alternately striking names with the party
                  requesting arbitration first striking; and

         (f)      Either party shall be entitled to an injunction or other
                  appropriate equitable relief to enforce the arbitration
                  provisions of this Agreement and FFBC shall be

                  entitled to an injunction to prevent any breach, pending
                  arbitration, of the Confidentiality Agreement described below
                  in paragraph 8 or the Covenant Not to Compete described below
                  in paragraph 10.

                  It is the intention of the parties to avoid litigation in any
         court of all claims concerning this Agreement, or otherwise arising
         from your employment with FFBC, or its affiliate bank, and that all
         such claims will be subject to this arbitration agreement. Neither
         party shall commence or pursue any litigation on any claim that is or
         was the subject of arbitration under this Agreement. Each party agrees
         that this agreement to arbitrate and the arbitration award are
         enforceable under and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
         Section I, et seq. ("FAA"). If the FAA is held not to apply for any
         reason and the law of the state in which you are employed recognizes
         the enforceability of this Agreement and the arbitration award, then
         this Agreement and the arbitration award are enforceable under the laws
         of the state in which you are employed. Both parties consent that
         judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any federal or
         state court that has jurisdiction. The acceptance of any benefit under
         this Agreement shall be deemed ratification of this agreement to
         arbitrate claims. In the event you breach this Agreement by filing a
         lawsuit, at the time your lawsuit is filed, you will return any Special
         Severance Benefits paid to you and be subject to injunctive relief
         enforcing this Agreement.

8.       Confidentiality.

         You will not disclose to any person or use for the benefit of yourself
         or any other person any confidential or proprietary information of FFBC
         without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of
         FFBC. Upon your termination of employment, you will return to FFBC all
         written or electronically stored memoranda, notes, plans, customer
         lists, records, reports or other documents of any kind or description
         (including all copies in any form whatsoever) relating to the business
         of FFBC and fully comply with any separate confidentiality agreement to
         which you and FFBC are parties.

9.       Conflicts of Interest.

         You agree for so long as you are employed by FFBC to avoid dealings and
         situations that would create the potential for a conflict of interest
         with FFBC. In this regard, you agree to comply with the FFBC policy
         regarding conflicts of interest and all applicable state or federal
         regulations concerning conflicts of interest applicable to commercial
         bank or savings bank officers.

10.      Covenant Not to Compete.

         During the term of your employment, and for a period of six (6) months
         following the termination of your employment for any reason other than
         as set forth in Section 4(b), you agree not to be employed by, serve as
         officer or director of, consultant to or advisor to any business that
         engages either directly or indirectly in commercial banking, savings
         banking or mortgage lending in the geographic area of Ohio, Indiana,
         Michigan or Kentucky or which is reasonably likely to engage in such
         businesses in the same geographic area during the six (6) month period
         following your termination of employment.

11.      Notice.

         Notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing
         and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered or mailed by
         United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
         prepaid, in a properly addressed envelope. Notices to FFBC shall be
         addressed to the Chief Executive Officer.

12.      Modification; Waiver; Successors.

         No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged
         except pursuant to a written instrument signed by you and the Chief
         Executive Officer of FFBC. This Agreement is binding upon any successor
         to all or substantially all of the business or assets of FFBC.

13.      Validity; Counterparts.

         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the law of the
         State of Ohio. The validity or unenforceability of any provision hereof
         shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
         hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
         each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
         together will constitute one and the same instrument.

         This Agreement supercedes the Agreement dated April 30, 2001 and the
Amendment thereto dated May 7, 2003.

                                                   Sincerely yours,

                                                   FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP

I, Stanley N. Pontius, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Financial
Bancorp., certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of First Financial
     Bancorp.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
     were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

     a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
     ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its
     consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
     entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
     prepared;

     b)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
     and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
     effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
     the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c)   Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
     control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most
     recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth quarter in case of an annual
     report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
     affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

     a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
     operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
     likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
     summarize and report financial information; and

     b)   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
     employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control
     over financial reporting.
