NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples Bancorp Inc. ("Peoples
Bancorp") and Subsidiaries (collectively, "Peoples") conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") and to
general practices within the financial services industry. Peoples considers
all of its principal activities to be financial services related. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Peoples reflect
all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated. The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. To conform to
the 2006 presentation, certain reclassifications have been made to prior
period amounts, which had no impact on net income, comprehensive income, net
cash provided by operating activities or stockholders' equity. Results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2006.
Certain information and footnotes typically included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005
contained herein has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in
Peoples Bancorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 ("2005 Form 10-K"). These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the 2005 Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peoples
Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries, Peoples Bank, National
Association ("Peoples Bank") and Peoples Investment Company, along with
their wholly-owned subsidiaries. Peoples Bancorp has two statutory business
trusts that are variable interest entities for which Peoples Bancorp is not
the primary beneficiary. As a result, the accounts of these trusts are not
included in Peoples' consolidated financial statements. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
On March 17, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 156"). SFAS 156 amends FASB
Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities-a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 125" ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 156 permits entities to subsequently measure
servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings
rather than amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the
estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment
or the need for an increased obligation as required under SFAS 140.
SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year
that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of the Statement is
permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the
entity has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of
that fiscal year. Peoples has elected to adopt SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007,
and has not changed its method of accounting for its mortgage servicing
rights. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a
material impact on Peoples' financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109"),
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with
earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation was issued to clarify the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial
statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation but does not expect
the impact of adoption to be material to Peoples' financial statements taken
as a whole.
3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
On January 1, 2006, Peoples adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
FASB Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS123 (R)"), using the
modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method,
compensation cost recognized beginning in 2006 includes: (a) the
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated
in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, and
(b) the compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been
restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, Peoples accounted for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method. Under the provisions of
Peoples Bancorp's stock option plans, the exercise price per share of each
option granted cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying
common shares on the date of grant. As a result, Peoples previously did not
recognize any stock-based employee compensation expense in net income prior
to January 1, 2006.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), Peoples' income before income taxes and
net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $163,000 and
$106,000 lower, respectively, than if Peoples had continued to account for
share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share for the periods presented had Peoples applied fair value recognition
to stock-based employee compensation, assuming the estimated fair value of
the options as of the grant date is amortized to expense over the vesting
period:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:
2006 2005
--------- ---------
Risk-free interest rate 4.55% 3.91%
Dividend yield 2.65% 2.50%
Volatility factor of the market price of parent stock 25.8% 27.0%

5. GOODWILL:
At the close of business on May 28, 2004, Peoples completed the acquisition
of Barengo Insurance Agency, Inc., ("Barengo"), based in Marietta, Ohio, for
initial consideration of $6.2 million ($3.0 million in cash and $3.2 million
in Peoples Bancorp's common shares). The agreement also provides for
additional consideration of up to $2.7 million ($1.3 million in cash and
$1.4 million in Peoples Bancorp's common shares) to be paid by Peoples over
the subsequent three years, contingent on Barengo achieving certain revenue
growth goals during those three years. For the twelve-month period ended May

of $803,000, which was paid by Peoples during July 2006 in accordance with
the agreement.
At the close of business on April 30, 2004, Peoples completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Putnam Agency, Inc.
("Putnam Agency"), for initial consideration of $8.6 million ($6.6 million
in cash and $2.0 million in Peoples Bancorp's common shares), of which $1.5
million is being paid out in three annual installments beginning April 30,
2005. The agreement also provides for additional consideration of up to $4.4
million in cash to be paid by Peoples over the subsequent three years,
contingent on the Putnam Agency achieving certain revenue growth goals
during those three years. For the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2006,
the revenue goals were met resulting in contingent consideration of
$662,000, which was paid by Peoples during the second quarter of 2006 in
accordance with the agreement.

Business Overview
-----------------
The following discussion and analysis of the unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Peoples is presented to provide insight into management's
assessment of the financial condition and results of operations. Peoples
Bancorp's primary subsidiaries are Peoples Bank, National Association ("Peoples
Bank"), Peoples Investment Company, PEBO Capital Trust I and PEBO Capital Trust
II. Peoples Bank also operates Peoples Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Peoples
Insurance"), PBNA L.L.C. and Peoples Loan Services, Inc. Peoples Investment
Company also owns Peoples Capital Corporation.
Peoples Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject to
regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency. Peoples Bank offers financial products and services through 49
financial service locations and 35 ATMs in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Peoples Bank's internet-banking service, Peoples OnLine Connection, can be found
on the Internet at www.peoplesbancorp.com (this uniform resource locator (URL)
is an inactive, textual reference only). Peoples Bank provides an array of
financial products and services to customers that include traditional banking
products such as deposit accounts, lending products, credit and debit cards,
corporate and personal trust services, and safe deposit rental facilities.
Peoples provides services through traditional walk-in offices and automobile
drive-in facilities, automated teller machines, banking by phone, and the
Internet.
Peoples Bank also makes available other financial services through Peoples
Financial Advisors, which provides customer-tailored services for fiduciary
needs, investment alternatives, financial planning, retirement plans and other
asset management needs. Brokerage services are offered exclusively through an
unaffiliated registered broker-dealer located at Peoples Bank offices. Peoples
Bank also offers a full range of life, health, property and casualty insurance
products to customers in Peoples' markets through Peoples Insurance.
Peoples Investment Company and its subsidiary, Peoples Capital Corporation, were
formed in 2001 to optimize Peoples' consolidated capital position and improve
profitability by providing new investment opportunities that are either limited
or restricted at the bank level. These investments include, but are not limited
to, low-income housing tax credit funds or projects, venture capital, and other
higher risk investments. Presently, the operations of both companies do not
represent a significant part of Peoples' overall business activities.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, contained in Peoples' 2005
Form 10-K, as well as the ratios, statistics and discussions contained elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to
general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to
the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are
critical to an understanding of Peoples' consolidated financial statements and
management's discussion and analysis at June 30, 2006, which were unchanged from
the policies disclosed in Peoples' 2005 Form 10-K.
Summary of Recent Transactions and Events
-----------------------------------------
The following is a summary of recent transactions that have impacted or are
expected to impact Peoples' results of operations or financial condition:
o On January 17, 2006, Peoples Bancorp announced the authorization to
repurchase up to 425,000, or approximately 4%, of Peoples Bancorp's
outstanding common shares in 2006 from time to time in open market or
privately negotiated transactions (the "2006 Stock Repurchase
Program"). Any repurchased common shares will be held as treasury
shares and are anticipated to be used for future exercises of stock
options granted under Peoples Bancorp's stock option and equity-based
compensation plans, future issuances of common shares in connection
with Peoples Bancorp's deferred compensation plans, and other general
corporate purposes. Through June 30, 2006, Peoples Bancorp had
repurchased 14,000 common shares under the 2006 Stock Repurchase
Program.
o On April 20, 2006, Peoples Bank announced that it had agreed to sell
its South Shore, Kentucky banking office to American Savings Bank,
fsb. This sale is consistent with Peoples' strategic plan to optimize
its branch network for better growth opportunities. The transaction,
which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be completed
by September 30, 2006, and includes the sale of approximately $6
million in deposits at a 5% premium and $1 million of loans at book
value. Management does not expect the sale of the South Shore office
to have a material impact on Peoples' financial condition, results of
operations, capital or cash flows.
o On May 15, 2006, Peoples Bank opened a new full-service banking office
in Lancaster, Ohio. This new office includes an ATM and drive-through
banking with a focus on providing banking and related financial
services to prospective and current clients in the Lancaster area.
o On May 31, 2006, Peoples Bank announced it had signed a purchase and
assumption agreement with First National Bank of McConnelsville that
provides for Peoples Bank to acquire First National Bank's Carroll,
Ohio office, and its associated deposits of approximately $6 million,
and First National Bank to acquire Peoples Bank's Chesterhill, Ohio
office, and its associated deposits of approximately $5 million. The
agreement provides for a deposit premium of 6% to be paid on any
difference in deposits acquired. Loans will be retained at the
originating financial institution. The transaction, which is subject
to regulatory approval, is expected to be completed during the fourth
quarter of 2006. Management does not expect this transaction to have a
material impact on Peoples' financial condition, results of
operations, capital or cash flows.
The impact of these transactions, where material, is discussed in the applicable
sections of this management's discussion and analysis.
Effective August 1, 2006, John W. Conlon retired and resigned from his position
as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of both Peoples Bancorp and Peoples
Bank. As part of the succession plan announced in July 2005, Donald J. Landers,
Jr., who had served as Director of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, was
appointed Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of both Peoples Bancorp and
Peoples Bank effective with Mr. Conlon's retirement.
Financial Overview
------------------
Net income totaled $5.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the second
quarter of 2006 compared to $4.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the
same quarter in 2005, representing a 13% increase. Key drivers of second quarter
earnings growth were a 7% decline in non-interest expense combined with a 4%
growth in non-interest income, resulting in a return on average equity of 11.88%
and return on average assets of 1.18%, versus 11.08% and 1.08%, respectively,
for the same period in 2005.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Peoples' net income grew 20% to $11.5
million, compared to $9.6 million in the first half of 2005, while diluted
earnings per share for the period were $1.07 and $0.91, respectively, an 18%
increase. These increases were largely the result of $1.2 million growth in net
interest income and $1.4 million increase in non-interest income. Return on
average equity and return on average assets for the first six months of 2006
improved to 12.45% and 1.24%, respectively, from 10.97% and 1.07%, respectively,
for the same period a year ago due to the higher net income.
Peoples' results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, also reflect
pension settlement charges of $578,000 ($421,000 after-tax or $0.04 per diluted
share) as lump sum payments to participants during the second quarter of 2005
exceeded the allowable threshold under US GAAP. Comparatively, no settlement
charges were incurred through six months of 2006.
Net interest income totaled $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, up from
$12.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, due to earning asset growth from
strong loan originations exceeding the increase in interest-bearing liabilities.
However, the current slope of the yield curve, the repricing of maturing
liabilities at higher rates and competitive loan and deposit pricing in Peoples'
primary markets continue to challenge net interest income and margin, which
compressed to 3.29% for the second quarter of 2006, from 3.32% a year ago. Both
net interest income and net interest margin were also negatively impacted by
Peoples placing $4 million in loans from a single commercial relationship on
nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2006, resulting in the reversal of
$149,000 of interest income. Through six months of 2006, net interest income
totaled $26.8 million and net interest margin was 3.34%, versus $25.6 million
and 3.29% for the same period a year ago, respectively.
For the second quarter of 2006, other income totaled $7.6 million, up 4%
compared to a year ago, while on a year-to-date basis, other income increased
7%, totaling $15.7 million versus $14.7 million a year ago. Higher insurance and
investment revenues accounted for much of these increases. Second quarter 2006
other income also included net gains on security and asset transactions of
$26,000 compared to $116,000 of net gains in 2005's second quarter. Other
expense was down 7% to $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006,
compared to the same period in 2005. On a year-to-date basis, other expense
decreased 2% to $25.6 million, from $26.2 million. These decreases in total
expense were due to lower salaries and benefits, net occupancy and equipment
costs and intangible amortization.
At June 30, 2006, total assets were $1.88 billion, up $23.8 million over
year-end 2005. Gross portfolio loans increased by $42.3 million since December
31, 2005, totaling $1.11 billion at quarter-end. The largest portion of this
loan growth was from originations of commercial real estate mortgages.
Investment securities totaled $568.8 million at June 30, 2006, down 3% from
year-end 2005.
Total liabilities were $1.69 billion at June 30, 2006, compared to $1.67 billion
at year-end 2005. Deposit balances increased 6% through six months, to $1.15
billion at June 30, 2006, due to $55.6 million of growth in interest-bearing
deposits and $7.2 million increase in non-interest-bearing balances. The higher
deposit balances allowed Peoples to reduce non-deposit borrowings by $44.6
million to $520.9 million at June 30, 2006, from $565.5 million at December 31,
2005.
At June 30, 2006, total stockholders' equity was $186.6 million versus $183.1
million at December 31, 2005, as Peoples' earnings, net of dividends paid, of
$7.1 million were largely offset by a $5.6 million increase in accumulated
comprehensive loss for the first six months of 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Income and Expense
---------------------------
Peoples earns interest income from loans, investment securities and short-term
investments and incurs interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and
borrowed funds. Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds
interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue, totaling $13.3
million in the second quarter of 2006, up 3% from a year ago. For the second
quarter of 2006, interest income grew 15% to $27.0 million, due to higher
average earning assets and improved yields on those assets, while interest
expense was up 31% to $13.7 million, primarily due to the 76 basis point
increase in the average cost of funds, from the second quarter of 2005. Compared
to the first quarter of 2006, net interest income was down slightly, as
increased interest expense offset higher levels of interest income. Second
quarter 2006 net interest income was also reduced by $149,000 due to the
reversal of interest income on $4 million of loans placed on nonaccrual status
during the quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net interest income increased 5% to
$26.8 million versus $25.6 million. Interest income grew $6.7 million to $52.8
million, attributable to a $26.2 million increase in average earning assets
combined with a 16 basis point improvement in average asset yields. Interest
expense was $25.9 million, up $5.5 million from a year ago, due mostly to a 30
basis point increase in the average cost of funds.
Peoples derives a portion of its interest income from loans to and investment
securities issued by states and political subdivisions. Since these revenues
generally are not subject to income taxes, management believes it is more
meaningful to analyze net interest income on a fully-tax equivalent ("FTE")
basis, which adjusts interest income by converting tax-exempt income to the
pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a 35% tax rate. The following table
details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net interest margin, calculated by dividing FTE net interest income by average
interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue
stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of Peoples' earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The following table details Peoples' average
balance sheet and analysis of net interest income for the periods presented:

(1) Interest income and yields are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis
using a 35% tax rate.
(2) Nonaccrual and impaired loans are included in the average loan balances.
Related interest income on nonaccrual loans prior to the loan being placed
on nonaccrual is included in loan interest income. Loan fees included in
interest income totaled $258 and $241 for the periods presented in 2006 and
2005, respectively.
(3) Loans held for sale are included in the average loan balance listed.
Related interest income on loans originated for sale prior to the loan
being sold is included in loan interest income.
Between June 2004 and June 2006, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee has
increased the target Federal Funds rate 425 basis points, causing a similar
increase in short-term market interest rates. However, market driven longer-term
interest rates have risen very little during this same period, resulting in the
compression of the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates. This
flattening of the yield curve, coupled with intense competition for loans and
deposits, has made it difficult for many financial institutions, including
Peoples, to grow or even maintain net interest income and margin.
In the second quarter and first half of 2006, average earning asset growth
resulted from higher average net loan balances due to continued demand for
commercial mortgage loans in certain markets. During these same periods, Peoples
has experienced modest improvements in asset yields from loan originations and
the upward repricing of variable rate loans tied to the prime rate, although
competitive pricing of new business loans and the repayment of some higher
yielding loans have tempered these improvements. In 2006, a major part of
management's interest rate risk strategy includes changing the mix of earning
assets by funding loan growth with investment portfolio cash flows. As a result,
average investment securities have decreased throughout the first half of 2006.
Another key component of Peoples' current interest rate risk strategy involves
growing deposit balances in order to reduce the amount of, and reliance on,
wholesale funding that generally carry higher market rates of interest. In the
second quarter of 2006, average interest-bearing deposits grew 3% from the
second quarter of 2005 and 2% from the first quarter of 2006, attributable to
higher retail certificates of deposit ("CD") balances. Average brokered deposits
were up $14.8 million and $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared
to the second quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006, respectively. For the
six months ended June 30, 2006, average interest-bearing deposits increased 3%,
the result of a $37.4 million increase in average retail CD balances and $13.1
million increase in brokered deposits. The increase in the average cost of
interest-bearing deposits reflects the general increase in short-term interest
rates and competitive pricing necessary to grow deposit balances.
Peoples also utilizes a variety of borrowings to complement its deposit base.
The following details the average balances and rates of Peoples' borrowed funds:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total long-term borrowings $ 333,397 4.41% $ 425,462 4.00%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The change in both short- and long-term borrowings reflects management's
decision to repay maturing long-term debt with short-term overnight Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances rather than extend the term at current market rates,
along with using the increase in average deposit balances to reduce the amount
of short-term overnight FHLB advances. Additional information regarding Peoples'
borrowed funds can be found later in this discussion under the caption
"FINANCIAL CONDITION-Funding Sources".
The combination of higher current interest rates and intense competition for
loans and deposits continues to pressure net interest income and margin. One of
Peoples' major strategic initiatives for 2006 is to adjust its balance sheet mix
by increasing loans and decreasing investment securities in proportion to total
earning assets while reducing the amount of wholesale funding, when possible.
This strategy should produce long-term benefits to Peoples' net interest income
and margin. However, management expects the repricing of existing funding
sources, pricing competition and the flat yield curve to continue to pressure
net interest margin in the short-term, which may mitigate any positive margin
impact from these balance sheet changes. Peoples will continue to monitor net
interest income performance and manage its balance sheet mix through regular
Asset-Liability Committee ("ALCO") meetings. However, the frequency and/or
magnitude of changes in market interest rates are difficult to predict, much
less react to, and may have a greater impact on net interest income than
adjustments initiated by management.
Provision for Loan Losses
-------------------------
In the second quarter of 2006, Peoples' provision for loan losses was $573,000
compared to $268,000 in the first quarter of 2006 and $40,000 in the second
quarter of 2005, of which $250,000, $56,000 and $181,000, respectively related
to deposit account overdrafts. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the
provision for loan losses was $841,000, down from $981,000 provided for the
first six months of 2005. The provision is based on management's in depth
quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience and is
directionally consistent with changes in Peoples' loan credit quality.
The provision expressed as a percentage of average loans was 0.08% through the
first half of 2006 compared to 0.10% for the same period in 2005. Future
provisions for loan losses will continue to be based on management's quarterly
procedural discipline that estimates the amount of credit losses incurred within
the loan portfolio.
Non-Interest Income
-------------------
Peoples generates non-interest income from six primary sources: deposit account
service charges, fiduciary activities, investment and insurance commissions,
electronic banking ("e-banking"), mortgage banking and business owned life
insurance ("BOLI"). In the second quarter of 2006, non-interest income,
excluding gains and losses on securities and asset disposal transactions,
totaled $7.6 million versus $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, a 5%
increase. Through six months of 2006, non-interest income increased 9% compared
to the first half of 2005, totaling $15.7 million, with insurance revenues and
deposit account service charges being the key drivers of increased non-interest
income. Compared to the first quarter of 2006, non-interest income was down 6%
in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of $1.1 million of annual, performance
based insurance commission income received in the first quarter.
Service charges and other fees on deposit accounts, which are based on the
recovery of costs associated with services provided, comprised the largest
portion of non-interest revenue. In the second quarter of 2006, deposit account
service charges were up 5% from a year ago and up 6% from the prior quarter. On
a year-to-date basis, deposit account service charges increased 7%. The
following table details Peoples' deposit account service charges:

June 30, March 31, June 30 --------------------------
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2006 2005 2006 2005

Overdraft fees $ 1,789 $ 1,527 $ 1,722 $ 3,316 $ 3,152
Non-sufficient funds fees 543 461 464 1,004 858

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 2,604 $ 2,461 $ 2,472 $ 5,065 $ 4,746
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of deposit account service charges recognized by Peoples each quarter
is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. In January
2006, Peoples adjusted certain account charges, including a $2 per item increase
in overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees, in response to higher operational
costs. In addition, Peoples continues to add several new customer relationships
in 2006 due to its direct marketing and gift programs and focus on growing core
deposits, which has led to an increase in deposit account service charges.
In the second quarter of 2006, insurance and investment revenues were $2.5
million versus $2.3 million for 2005's second quarter, due mainly to increased
sales of property and casualty insurance. Compared to the first quarter of 2006,
insurance and investment revenues decreased $0.9 million, due to performance
based commissions, which are normally earned in the first quarter of each year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, insurance and investment revenues were
up 19%, largely attributable to the higher performance commission income
received in the first quarter of 2006. The following table details Peoples'
insurance and investment commissions:

Peoples' e-banking services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services
and Internet banking and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional
sales offices for providing services to clients. During the first half of 2006,
e-banking revenues have remained strong, largely attributable to the combination
of an increase in the number of deposit relationships with debit cards and
higher volumes of debit card activity. At June 30, 2006, Peoples had 35,618
deposit relationships with debit cards, or 53% of all eligible deposit accounts,
compared to 30,634 relationships and a 49% penetration rate a year ago. Peoples'
customers used their debit cards to complete $95 million of transactions through
six months of 2006, up 24% from $76 million for the first half of 2005.
Non-Interest Expense
--------------------
Non-interest expense was down 7% and 2% for the three and six months ended June
30, 2006, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 2005. Lower
salaries and benefit costs accounted for much of these declines, while decreased
net occupancy and equipment costs and intangible amortization expense offset
modest increases in Peoples' other non-interest expenses. Compared to the first
quarter of 2006, non-interest expense was down 4% in the second quarter of 2006,
attributable to lower salaries and benefit costs.
Salaries and benefit costs, Peoples' largest non-interest expense, were lower in
the second quarter and first half of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.
The $578,000 pension settlement charge incurred in the second quarter of 2005
accounted for much of these declines. The following table details Peoples'
salaries and benefit costs:
For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months
--------------------------------------- Ended June 30,
June 30, March 31, June 30, -------------------------
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2006 2005 2006 2005
------------ ------------ ----------- ------------ ------------
Salaries and other compensation $ 4,894 $ 5,322 $ 5,099 $ 10,216 $ 10,238
Employee benefits 905 1,014 1,579 1,919 2,485
Payroll taxes and other employment-related costs 633 576 558 1,209 1,199
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 6,432 $ 6,912 $ 7,236 $ 13,344 $ 13,922
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also contributing to the decline in the amount of salaries and other
compensation from the prior quarter and second quarter of 2005, were salaries
considered direct loan origination costs from increased loan production that
were deferred and will be recognized over the life of the related loans as a
reduction of the loan's yield. On a year-to-date basis, the combination of
higher incentive compensation expense and normal annual base salary increases
offset much of the impact of the increased loan cost deferrals. Peoples'
employee benefit costs through six months of 2006 have benefited from the
non-recurrence of pension settlement charges and stable medical costs. Second
quarter 2005 employee benefits also include a charge of $176,000 for the
Director Retirement Plan for the benefit of former Chairman Robert E. Evans'
spouse as beneficiary. Additionally, Peoples' adoption of new stock-based
compensation accounting rules on January 1, 2006, has tempered the improvement
since Peoples was required to record compensation expense for stock options
granted in 2006. Information regarding the new stock-based compensation
accounting rules and the impact on Peoples' results of operations can be found
in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements.
Net occupancy and equipment costs decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2006
and 7% on a year-to-date basis, from the same periods a year ago. These declines
were primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense from aged assets,
while a $42,000 decrease in maintenance costs contributed to the second quarter
decline.
Professional fees, which include accounting, legal and other professional
expenses, were up 21% in the second quarter of 2006 and increased 5% for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005. The primary
factor driving the increased professional fees was ongoing regulatory compliance
costs.
Marketing expense, which includes the cost of advertising, public relations and
charitable contributions, was flat in the second quarter of 2006 when compared
to the second quarter of 2005. On a year-to-date basis, marketing expense was up
13% from a year ago, due to costs associated with Peoples' deposit direct mail
marketing and gift program.
Income Tax Expense
------------------
Peoples' effective tax rate was 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2006,
versus 27.2% a year ago. This increase was due to higher pre-tax income without
a comparable increase in income from tax-exempt sources and reflects
management's current estimate of the approximate annual effective rate for 2006.
Peoples has made tax-advantaged investments in order to manage its effective tax
rate and overall tax burden. At June 30, 2006, the amount of tax-advantaged
investments totaled $153.1 million compared to $155.9 million at year-end 2005
and $154.1 million at June 30, 2005. Depending on economic and regulatory
conditions, Peoples may make additional investments in various tax credit pools
and other tax-advantaged assets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2006,
to $37.6 million at June 30, 2006, but were down $2.1 million from the $39.6
million at December 31, 2005. The increase during the second quarter reflects a
higher amount of items in process of collection, while decreased Federal Funds
sold of $2.6 million accounted for the decline since year-end. The amount of
cash and cash equivalents fluctuates on a daily basis due to customer activity
and Peoples' liquidity needs. Management believes the current balance of cash
and cash equivalents, along with the availability of other funding sources,
provides Peoples with sufficient liquidity to meet its cash requirements.
Further information regarding Peoples' liquidity can be found later in this
discussion under "Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity."
Investment Securities
---------------------
Total investment securities had a fair market value of $568.8 million at June
30, 2006 down 3% from both the March 31, 2006, and year-end 2005 levels. Through
six months of 2006, proceeds from calls, maturities and prepayments totaled
$31.9 million, which exceeded purchases totaling $20.3 million. Peoples'
unrealized loss on investment securities was $10.4 million at June 30, 2006,
compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to a decline in
market value attributable to changes in market interest rates. Management does
not believe any individual unrealized loss at June 30, 2006, represents an
other-than-temporary impairment since Peoples has the ability and intent to hold
those securities for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost.
The following table details Peoples' investment portfolio, at estimated fair
value:
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, March 31, December 31, June 30,

Total available-for-sale securities $ 568,806 $ 588,787 $ 589,313 $ 603,731
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, the composition of Peoples' investment portfolio at June 30, 2006 was
comparable to recent periods. Peoples' investment in mortgage-backed securities
continues to decline due to management using a portion of the principal runoff
to fund loan growth and for other corporate liquidity purposes. Management also
reinvested some of the cash flows from mortgage-backed securities into U.S.
agency and municipal securities during the first quarter of 2006 to improve the
diversification and overall performance of the investment portfolio in a
changing rate environment.
Management regularly evaluates the performance and liquidity of the investment
portfolio. For the remainder of 2006, management may continue to utilize some or
all of the cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth or
reduce borrowed funds, as deemed appropriate from an earnings and liquidity
perspective. While Peoples' investment portfolio is used to prudently leverage
excess capital when appropriate, it serves, first and foremost, as a means of
maintaining liquidity to satisfy cash flow requirements and an interest rate
risk management tool to balance the timing of cash flows and repricing of
Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Loans
-----
Peoples Bank originates various types of loans, including commercial, financial
and agricultural loans ("commercial loans"), real estate loans and consumer
loans, throughout its market areas in central and southeastern Ohio,
northwestern West Virginia, and northeastern Kentucky markets. In the second
quarter of 2006, gross loans increased $35.2 million, or 12% on an annualized
basis, due mostly to strong commercial real estate loan originations. The
following table details total outstanding loans:

Total loans $ 1,114,213 $ 1,079,027 $ 1,071,876 $ 1,034,077
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial loan balances, including loans secured by commercial real estate,
continue to represent the largest portion of Peoples' total loan portfolio,
comprising 60.3% and 59.8% of total loans at June 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively. Much of the commercial loan growth in the first half of 2006
resulted from continued demand for commercial mortgage loans in certain markets
and lower than expected payoffs. A significant portion of the changes in both
commercial mortgage balances and other commercial loans in the first quarter of
2006 was attributable to a reclassification of certain loans resulting from
Peoples' ongoing regulatory reporting compliance and loan review process. While
management believes lending opportunities exist in Peoples' markets, future
commercial lending activities will be dependent on economic and related
conditions, such as general demand for loans in Peoples' primary markets,
interest rates offered by Peoples and normal underwriting considerations.
Additionally, the potential for larger than normal commercial loan payoffs may
limit loan growth during the remainder of 2006.
While commercial loans comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio,
generating residential real estate loans remains a major focus of Peoples'
lending efforts. Included in real estate mortgage loans are home equity credit
line balances of $45.1 million at June 30, 2006 versus $46.6 million at December
31, 2005. Real estate loan balances continue to be impacted by customer demand
for long-term, fixed-rate mortgages, which Peoples generally sells to the
secondary market with servicing rights retained. At June 30, 2006, Peoples was
servicing $154.4 million of real estate loans previously sold to the secondary
market compared to $144.3 million at year-end 2005 and $132.0 million at June
30, 2005.
Consumer loan balances, which include overdrafts, have risen modestly for the
past five consecutive quarters. Peoples' indirect lending area remains the major
source of this growth, with balances of $33.9 million at June 30, 2006, versus
$31.2 million at March 31, 2006 and $28.2 million at December 31, 2005. Peoples'
ability to maintain, or even grow, consumer loans in future quarters continues
to be impacted by strong competition for various types of consumer loans,
especially automobile loans, as well as availability of alternative credit
products, such as home equity credit lines. Additionally, Peoples' commitment to
originate quality loans based on sound underwriting practices and appropriate
loan pricing discipline remains the paramount objective and could limit any
future growth.
Loan Concentration
------------------
Peoples' largest concentration of commercial loans is related to assisted living
facilities and nursing homes, which comprised approximately 8.8% of Peoples'
outstanding commercial loans at quarter-end, compared to 8.9% at December 31,
2005. Loans to lodging and lodging-related companies also represented a
significant portion of Peoples' commercial loans, comprising 7.5% of Peoples'
outstanding commercial loans at June 30, 2006, versus 8.8% at year-end 2005.
These lending opportunities have arisen due to the growth of these industries in
markets served by Peoples or in contiguous areas, and also from sales
associates' efforts to develop these lending relationships. Management believes
Peoples' loans to assisted living facilities and nursing homes, as well as loans
to lodging and lodging-related companies, do not pose abnormal risk when
compared to risk assumed in other types of lending since these credits have been
subjected to Peoples' normal underwriting standards, which includes an
evaluation of the financial strength, market expertise and experience of the
borrowers and principals in these business relationships. In addition, a
sizeable portion of the loans to lodging and lodging-related companies is spread
over various geographic areas and, although not considered the primary source of
repayment, many of these loans are guaranteed by principals with substantial net
worth.
Allowance for Loan Losses
-------------------------
Peoples' allowance for loan losses totaled $15.3 million, or 1.38% of total
loans, at June 30, 2006, compared to $14.7 million, or 1.42% of total loans, at
June 30, 2005, and $14.7 million, or 1.37% of total loans, at year-end 2005. The
following table presents changes in Peoples' allowance for loan losses:

In the second quarter of 2006, recoveries exceeded loan charge-offs, resulting
in net recoveries of $86,000 versus net charge-offs of $316,000 last quarter and
$514,000 a year ago. The following table details Peoples' net (recoveries)

The allowance is allocated among the loan categories based upon management's
consistent, quarterly procedural discipline. However, the entire allowance for
loan losses is available to absorb loan losses in any loan category. The
following details the allocation of the allowance for loan losses:
June 30, March 31, December 31, June 30,
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2006 2005 2005
---------------- --------------- ---------------- ----------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total allowance for loan losses $ 15,331 $ 14,672 $ 14,720 $ 14,728
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The significant allocation of the allowance to commercial loans is based upon
Peoples' quarterly review process and reflects the higher credit risk associated
with this type of lending and continued growth in this portfolio. The allowance
allocated to the real estate and consumer loan portfolios is based upon Peoples'
allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans, which includes a
consideration of changes in total balances in those portfolios.
Asset quality remains a key focus, as management continues to stress loan
underwriting quality more than loan growth. The following table details Peoples'
nonperforming assets:
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, March 31, December 31, June 30,
2006 2006 2005 2005
---------------- -------------- ---------------- -----------------

loans
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonperforming assets as a percent of 0.56% 0.33% 0.37% 0.44%
total assets
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the second quarter of 2006, the level of both nonperforming loans and assets
increased as a result of Peoples placing $4 million of commercial real estate
loans to a single borrower on nonaccrual status. This credit has been
appropriately considered by management in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses, and management does not anticipate significant losses
on this credit. Peoples' overall asset quality remained good in the second
quarter, as reflected by net recoveries for the quarter.
At June 30, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be
impaired was $22.7 million, of which $15.4 million were accruing interest and
$7.3 million were nonaccrual loans. Included in total impaired loans were $7.9
million of impaired loans for which the related allowance for loan losses was
$2.6 million. The remaining impaired loan balances did not have a related
allocation of the allowance for loan losses because the loans have previously
been written-down, are well secured or possess characteristics indicative of the
ability to repay the loan. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Peoples'
average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $16.4 million
and interest income of $619,000 was recognized on impaired loans during the
period, representing 1.2% of Peoples' total interest income. This compares to
average impaired loans of $10.9 million and interest income of $234,000, or 0.5%
of Peoples' total interest income, for the same period in 2005.
Funding Sources
---------------
Deposits, both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing, continue to be the
most significant source of funds for Peoples, totaling $1.15 billion at June 30,
2006, versus $1.09 billion at year-end 2005. Much of this increase is
attributable to higher interest-bearing balances, primarily money market deposit
accounts, certificates of deposits and brokered deposits. Non-interest-bearing
deposits, which serve as a core funding source, have also increased $7.1 million
since year-end 2005, reflecting Peoples' efforts to grow these balances and
reduce its reliance on higher cost funding sources. The following table details
Peoples' deposit balances:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total deposit balances $ 1,152,031 $ 1,139,606 $ 1,089,286 $ 1,095,422
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in money market deposit balances in the second quarter of 2006 was
generated by Peoples offering a new money market product with a very competitive
rate, which resulted in over $9 million in new deposit relationships. However,
Peoples continues to experience fierce competition for deposits in its markets,
which makes it difficult to maintain, let alone grow, deposit balances.
Peoples also accesses other funding sources, including short- and long-term
borrowings, to fund asset growth and satisfy liquidity needs. At June 30, 2006,
borrowed funds totaled $520.9 million, down from $565.5 million at year-end
2005, and up slightly from $518.1 million at March 31, 2006. The following
details Peoples' short- and long-term borrowings:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total borrowed funds $ 520,908 $ 518,070 $ 565,512 $ 535,411
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The short-term FHLB advances consist of overnight REPO advances used to manage
Peoples' daily liquidity needs, which has caused some of the increase in recent
periods. The remaining increase in short-term FHLB advances was due to
management repaying maturing long-term borrowings using short-term FHLB advances
rather than extending the borrowings at current market rates. Management expects
to continue to utilize various wholesale borrowings, both amortizing and
non-amortizing, to help manage its interest rate sensitivity and liquidity.
Further information regarding Peoples' management of interest rate sensitivity
can be found later in this discussion under "Interest Rate Sensitivity and
Liquidity."
Capital/Stockholders' Equity
----------------------------
At June 30, 2006, stockholders' equity was $186.6 million versus $183.1 million
at December 31, 2005, as Peoples' earnings, net of dividends paid, of $7.1
million were largely offset by a $5.6 million increase in accumulated
comprehensive loss due to the decline in market value of the investment
portfolio from recent increases in market interest rates.
In the second quarter of 2006, Peoples declared dividends of $0.21 per share, up
11% from $0.19 per share declared a year ago. Through six months of 2006,
Peoples Bancorp declared dividends totaling $4.4 million, up 10% from the $4.0
million declared in the first half of 2005, representing dividend payout ratios
of 38.0% and 41.6% of earnings, respectively. While management anticipates
Peoples Bancorp continuing its 40-year history of consistent dividend growth in
future periods, Peoples Bancorp's ability to pay dividends on its common shares
is largely dependent upon dividends from Peoples Bank. In addition, other
restrictions and limitations may prohibit Peoples Bancorp from paying dividends
even when sufficient cash is available. Further, Peoples Bancorp or Peoples Bank
may decide to limit the payment of dividends, even when the legal ability to pay
them exists, in order to retain earnings for other strategic purposes. At June
30, 2006, Peoples Bank had approximately $4.0 million of net retained profits
available for dividends to Peoples Bancorp without regulatory approval.
At June 30, 2006, Peoples had treasury stock totaling $6.9 million compared to
$8.8 million at year-end 2005, reflecting the reissuance of 83,420 common shares
for stock option exercises. During the second quarter of 2006, Peoples
repurchased 14,000 common shares under the 2006 Stock Repurchase Program.
Peoples may repurchase additional common shares in 2006 as authorized under the
2006 Stock Repurchase Program when deemed appropriate by management.
Management uses the tangible equity ratio as one measure of the adequacy of
Peoples' capital. The ratio, defined as tangible equity as a percentage of
tangible assets, excludes the balance sheet impact of intangible assets acquired
through acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. At
June 30, 2006, Peoples' tangible equity ratio was 6.46% compared to 6.37% at
December 31, 2005 and 6.17% at June 30, 2005. This higher ratio compared to
prior periods reflects a greater proportional increase in tangible equity than
tangible assets.
In addition to monitoring performance through traditional capital measurements
(i.e., dividend payout ratios and ROE), Peoples has also complied with the
capital adequacy standards mandated by the banking industry. At June 30, 2006,
all three risk-based capital ratios for both Peoples and Peoples Bank were well
above the minimum standards for a well-capitalized institution.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
---------------------------------------
While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to
interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are typically the most complex and
dynamic risks that can materially impact future results of operations and
financial condition. The objective of Peoples' asset/liability management
("ALM") function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net
interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity
and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on minimizing interest rate
and liquidity risk exposure through its management of the mix of assets and
liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those
assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ALM function is intended to guide
management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of
appropriate funding sources.
Interest Rate Risk
------------------
Interest rate risk ("IRR") is one of the most significant risks for Peoples and
the financial services industry primarily arising in the normal course of
business of offering a wide array of financial products to its customers,
including loans and deposits, as well as from the diversity of its own
investment portfolio and borrowed funds. IRR is the potential for economic loss
due to future interest rate changes that can impact both the earnings streams as
well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to
IRR is due primarily to differences in the timing of the maturity or repricing
of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors,
such as prepayments of loans and investment securities or early withdrawal of
deposits, can expose Peoples to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce
revenue streams.
Peoples has charged the ALCO with the overall management of IRR. Peoples' ALCO
has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and
guidelines for monitoring and managing the level and amount of IRR. There have
been no material changes to these policies or methods used by the ALCO to assess
IRR from those disclosed in Peoples' 2005 Form 10-K.
The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for
specified time periods is known as the sensitivity gap. The ALCO reviews gap
measures for specific periods focusing on a one-year cumulative gap. At June 30,
2006, Peoples' one-year cumulative gap amount was negative 18.5% of earning
assets, which represented $311.4 million more in liabilities than assets that
may contractually reprice or mature during that period. This compares to a
one-year cumulative gap amount of negative 12.7% of earning assets, or $213.3
million more in liabilities than assets, at March 31, 2006. The change in
Peoples' gap position during the second quarter reflects customer preference for
loans with initial fixed rate periods in excess of one year and deposits with
terms of one year or less, as well as $62.5 million of convertible rate FHLB
advances that either converted to a floating rate during the quarter or
management determined that conversion was highly probable over the next twelve
months and indicates Peoples' earnings could be exposed to a greater risk of
loss in a rising interest rate environment. Since the gap position at June 30,
2006, was outside the ALCO's desired range of +/- 15% of earning assets, the
ALCO has discussed strategies that could reduce Peoples' negative gap position,
including shortening the repricing characteristics of earning assets and
extending the terms of interest-bearing liabilities or a combination of both.
Currently, management anticipates the ALCO will recommend certain strategies
that will bring the gap position within the desired level. The ALCO will
continue to monitor closely the trend in gap position, as well as earnings and
value exposure to changing interest rates.
The following table is provided to illustrate the estimated earnings at risk and
economic value at risk positions of Peoples, on a pre-tax basis, at June 30,
2006 (dollars in thousands):
Immediate Estimated Estimated
Interest Rate
Increase (Decrease) in (Decrease) Increase (Decrease)Increase in
Basis Points In Net Interest Income Economic Value of Equity
--------------------------- ----------------------------- --------------------------------
200 $ (6,247) (12.3)% $ (34,503) (13.1)%
100 (2,982) (5.9) (17,415) (6.6)
(100) 2,112 4.2 10,098 3.8
(200) $ 2,760 5.4 % $ 13,380 5.1 %
Peoples is within the established IRR policy limits for all scenarios shown in
the above table. The interest rate risk analysis at June 30, 2006, shows that
Peoples is liability sensitive. During the second quarter of 2006, Peoples
became more liability sensitive due in large part to customer preference for
loans with fixed rate periods greater than one year and deposits with terms of
one year or less. Peoples also has repaid maturing long-term borrowings using
overnight FHLB borrowings, rather than extending the terms at higher rates.
Based on current assumptions, an immediate and sustained increase in interest
rates would negatively impact net interest income primarily due to variable rate
loans reaching their annual interest rate cap or potentially their lifetime
interest rate cap. Further, in a rising rate environment the prepayment amounts
on loans and mortgage-backed securities slow down, producing less cash flow to
reinvest at current interest rates. Peoples' interest-bearing liabilities do not
possess the same level of optionality or repricing characteristics as the
earning assets. Specifically, management administers the rates paid on deposits,
and thus, can lag increases in a rising rate environment and mitigate some of
the IRR exposure.
Liquidity
---------
In addition to IRR management, a primary objective of the ALCO is to maintain a
sufficient level of liquidity. The ALCO defines liquidity as the ability to meet
anticipated and unanticipated operating cash needs, loan demand and deposit
withdrawals, without incurring a sustained negative impact on profitability. The
ALCO's liquidity management policy sets limits on the net liquidity position of
Peoples and the concentration of non-core funding sources, both wholesale
funding and brokered deposits.
Typically, the main source of liquidity for Peoples is deposit growth. Liquidity
is also provided by cash generated from earning assets such as maturities,
calls, principal payments and net income from loans and investment securities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents declined $2.1
million, as the $33.0 million of cash used in investing activities exceeded the
$15.4 million of net cash provided by financing activities and $15.5 million of
net cash from operations. Compared to the first half of 2005, net cash increased
$2.5 million, as net cash from operations and financing activities of $25.0
million and $10.7 million, respectively, was offset by only $33.2 million was
used in investing activities, primarily to fund loan originations. In the
financing activities during the first half of 2006, a net increase in deposits
of $62.8 million allowed Peoples to reduce borrowings by $44.6 million.
Investing activities during the same period included a net increase in loans of
$42.4 million and net decrease of $11.6 million in investment securities, as
principal runoff was used to fund loan growth and for other corporate liquidity
purposes.
As part of the process of the management of liquidity, the ALCO reviews trends
of deposits and loans, as well as other maturing liabilities, in relation to the
need for cash or additional funding. A liquidity forecast is prepared based on
that information and the ALCO may discuss appropriate actions, if any, that
should be taken. However, actual future cash flows may be materially different
from the forecast due to the level of uncertainty regarding the timing and
magnitude of anticipated cash flows, such as demands for funding related to
unfunded loan commitments and other contractual obligations and prepayments on
loans and investment securities.
When appropriate, Peoples takes advantage of external sources of funds, such as
advances from the FHLB, national market repurchase agreements and brokered
deposits. These external sources often provide Peoples with the ability to
obtain large quantities of funds in a relatively short time period and
supplement funding from customer deposits. At June 30, 2006, Peoples had
available borrowing capacity of approximately $193 million through these
external sources, along with unpledged investment securities of approximately
$100 million that can be utilized as an additional source of liquidity.
The net liquidity position of Peoples is calculated by subtracting volatile
funds from liquid assets. Peoples' volatile funds consist of deposits that are
considered short-term in nature along with a variable-rate loan from an
unrelated institution. Liquid assets include short-term investments and
unpledged available-for-sale securities. At June 30, 2006, Peoples' net
liquidity position was $68.8 million, or 3.7% of total assets, compared to
$104.3 million, or 5.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2005. The liquidity
position as of both dates was within Peoples' policy limit of negative 10% of
total assets.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations
--------------------------------------------------------
Peoples routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees,
elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the consolidated
financial statements. These activities are part of Peoples' normal course of
business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial
instruments, interest rate contracts, operating leases, long-term debt and
commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax
credit investments.
Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments are primarily
commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. These activities
could require Peoples to make cash payments to third parties in the event that
certain specified future events occur. The contractual amounts represent the
extent of Peoples' exposure in these off-balance sheet activities. However,
since certain off-balance sheet commitments, particularly standby letters of
credit, are expected to expire or be only partially used, the total amount of
commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These
activities are necessary to meet the financing needs of customers. The following
table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby
letters of credit:
June 30, December 31, June 30,
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2005 2005
------------ ------------ -----------
Loan commitments $ 190,258 $ 162,065 $ 153,536
Standby letters of credit 33,231 29,803 31,832
Peoples also has commitments to make additional capital contributions to
low-income housing tax credit funds, consisting of a pool of low-income housing
projects. As a limited partner in these funds, Peoples receives Federal income
tax benefits, which assists Peoples in managing its overall tax burden. At June
30, 2006, these commitments approximated $2.5 million, with approximately $0.7
million expected to be paid over the next twelve months. Management may make
additional investments in various tax credit funds.
Management does not anticipate Peoples' current off-balance sheet activities
will have a material impact on future results of operations and financial
condition.
Peoples continues to lease certain banking facilities and equipment under
noncancelable operating leases with terms providing for fixed monthly payments
over periods ranging from two to ten years. Many of Peoples' leased banking
facilities are inside retail shopping centers and, as a result, are not
available for purchase. Management believes these leased facilities increase
Peoples' visibility within its markets and afford sales associates additional
access to current and potential clients.
Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------
Substantially all of Peoples' assets relate to banking and are monetary in
nature. As a result, inflation does not impact Peoples to the same degree as
companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment.
During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in a
loss in purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position
results in an increase in purchasing power. The opposite would be true during a
period of decreasing prices. In the banking industry, typically monetary assets
exceed monetary liabilities. The current monetary policy targeting low levels of
inflation has resulted in relatively stable price levels. Therefore, inflation
has had little impact on Peoples' net assets.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information called for by this item is provided under the caption "Interest
Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity" under Item 2 - Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition in this Form 10-Q, and
is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
-------------------------------
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
------------------------------------------------
Peoples Bancorp's management, with the participation of Peoples Bancorp's
President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples Bancorp's Chief Financial
Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples Bancorp's
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the "Exchange Act") as of June 30,
2006. Based upon that evaluation, Peoples Bancorp's President and Chief
Executive Officer and Peoples Bancorp's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
have concluded that:
(a) information required to be disclosed by Peoples Bancorp in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or
submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated
to Peoples Bancorp's management, including its President and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
(b) information required to be disclosed by Peoples Bancorp in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples Bancorp files
or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and forms; and
(c) Peoples Bancorp's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as
of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q to ensure that material information relating to Peoples
Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them,
particularly during the period in which Peoples Bancorp's periodic
reports, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are being
prepared.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
----------------------------------------------------
There were no changes in Peoples Bancorp's internal control over financial

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------
In the ordinary course of business or operations, Peoples Bancorp and its
subsidiaries may be named as plaintiff, defendant, or a party or any of their
respective subsidiaries' property may be subject to various pending and
threatened legal proceedings. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting
the outcome of such matters, Peoples Bancorp cannot state what the eventual
outcome of any such matters will be; however, based on current knowledge and
after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
----------------------
There have been no material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed
in "ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS" of Part I of Peoples' 2005 Form 10-K.
ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 30, 2004, Peoples Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Peoples Insurance"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples Bancorp, acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed specific liabilities of Putnam Agency, Inc. (the "Putnam
Agency Acquisition"). In accordance with the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, dated April 7, 2004, related to the Putnam Agency Acquisition, the
"base purchase consideration was $8,640,000, of which $1,500,000 is being paid
out in three annual installments of $500,000 plus interest on the aggregate
remaining balance at the close of business on April 29, 2005, April 29, 2006 and
April 29, 2007, at a rate equal to the one year certificate of deposit rate of
Peoples Bank. Each installment is to be paid 75% in cash and 25% in common
shares of Peoples Bancorp, with the number of common shares to be issued based
on the average of the daily closing price of the Peoples Bancorp common shares
for the 20 consecutive trading days ending at the close of business on the day
which is five trading days prior to the applicable anniversary of the closing
date. On April 29, 2006, Peoples paid $397,016 as the cash portion and issued
4,662 common shares as the common share portion of the installment of the "base
purchase consideration" due to Agency Interim, LLC, the successor to Putnam
Agency, Inc. The Peoples Bancorp common shares were issued in the Putnam Agency
Acquisition in a private placement in reliance upon the exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), based upon the limited number of persons to whom the common
shares were "sold" (to Agency Interim, LLC which distributed the common shares
to its members - 13 persons (the "Agency Interim Members")) and the
representations from each Agency Interim Member (a) that such Agency Interim
Member was either (i) an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501
promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) possessed such experience,
knowledge and sophistication in financial and business matters generally, and
familiarity with the transactions related to the Putnam Agency Acquisition that,
together, with such Agency Interim Member's investment advisors, such Agency
Interim Member was capable of evaluating the merits and economic risks of
consummating the transactions contemplated by the Putnam Agency Acquisition; and
(b) that such Agency Interim Member received the common shares of Peoples
Bancorp for such Agency Interim Member's own account, for investment and not
with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution in
contravention of the Securities Act. As part of the Putnam Agency Acquisition,
Peoples Bancorp agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register
for resale common shares issued to the Agency Interim Members. The Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed by Peoples Bancorp for this purpose (Registration
No. 333-116683) became effective on July 2, 2004.
On May 28, 2004, Peoples Insurance acquired Barengo Insurance Agency, Inc.
("Barengo Insurance Agency") through the merger of Barengo Insurance Agency into
Peoples Insurance (the "Barengo Insurance Agency Merger"). As contemplated by
the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 28, 2004, related to the
Barengo Insurance Agency Merger, on July 14, 2006, each of the two former
shareholders of Barengo Insurance Agency received "earn out consideration" based
on the performance of the former Barengo Insurance Agency in achieving specified
revenue growth goals during the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2006 (the
"2006 Earn-Out Period"). The "earn out consideration" paid to each former
Barengo Insurance Agency shareholder was in the form of $196,742 in cash and
$204,758 in Peoples Bancorp common shares, representing 7,032 Peoples Bancorp
common shares based on the average of the daily closing prices of the Peoples
Bancorp common shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending at the close of
business on the fifth trading day before July 15, 2006 (i.e., July 8, 2006).
Accordingly, an aggregate of 14,064 Peoples Bancorp common shares were issued as
"earn out consideration" for the 2006 Earn-Out Period. These common shares were
issued in a private placement in reliance upon the exemption from registration
under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act based upon the limited number of
persons to whom the common shares were "sold" (two former shareholders of
Barengo Insurance Agency) and the representations from each person (a) that such
person was either (i) an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501
promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) possessed such experience,
knowledge and sophistication in financial and business matters generally, and
familiarity with the transactions related to the Barengo Insurance Agency
Merger, including the performance associated with determining any "earn out
consideration", that, together with such person's investment advisors, such
person was capable of evaluating the merits and economic risks of consummating
the transactions related to the Barengo Insurance Agency Merger; and (b) that
such person was acquiring the common shares of Peoples Bancorp for such person's
own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, any distribution in contravention of the Securities Act. As part of the
Barengo Insurance Agency Merger, Peoples Bancorp agreed to file a registration
statement with the SEC to register for resale common shares issued to the former
Barengo Insurance Agency shareholders as "earn out consideration" in respect of
the Barengo Insurance Agency Merger. The Registration Statement on Form S-3
filed by Peoples Bancorp for this purpose (Registration No. 333-116683) became
effective on July 2, 2004.
