Exhibit 99.1



To our Shareholders:



The Company experienced a dramatic financial turn-around during the third quarter, ended September 30, 2001. However, the reasons for the turn-around have been a long time in the making. The Board of Directors and Management have been aggressively working for many months to deal with issues surrounding asset quality. Because of the tireless efforts of the Bank's employees, we are happy to bring you some very positive news. Progress with certain adversely classified loans has enabled the Bank to reduce its Allowance for Potential Loan and Lease Losses by about $2 million. This progress, coupled with core earnings, has provided third quarter after tax net income of $1.8 million. As a result, year-to-date after tax net income as of September 30, 2001 was $804,000.



Assets stood at $320.1 million as of September 30, 2001, compared to $311.1 million as of June 30, 2001. Deposits grew to $266.3 million for the period. Loans totaled $171.7 million and shareholders' equity was $32.8 million, or 10.23% of total assets at quarter end. The asset, deposit, and loan bases have remained substantial during the first three quarters of the year. The Bank remains very well capitalized and continues to enjoy an effective and productive complement of officers and employees.



Corrective action and re-engineering throughout the Bank, to comply with regulatory requirements, is nearing completion. After eleven months of extensive and exhausting effort, Management believes the Bank is, and will continue to become, an increasingly dynamic franchise that is better equipped to meet its strategic goals and objectives. While it is always difficult to predict the future, it is especially difficult given the current economy and the issues facing our Nation. Nevertheless, absent new problems developing, we believe that the Bank will continue to prosper and will conduct its business in a manner that satisfies our regulators, and benefits you, our shareholders and customers.



In the Bank's ongoing bid to serve customers, maintain and foster loan and deposit growth, considerable progress is being made reinforcing existing and long-standing relationships, as well as developing new business relationships. The Bank's present direction is reflected in its business development and marketing initiatives, and are briefly stated in two current slogans contained in recent newspaper and radio advertisements: CSB is "Community Oriented, Professionally Equipped, and Quality Driven", and "CSB's People Make the Difference". The CSB staff is prepared to serve your banking, trust, and brokerage needs, as well as those of your family, friends, and business associates. You are invited to call or stop in and let us demonstrate better ways of doing your banking with CSB.



You may be assured that Management and your Board of Directors will continue to be diligent in their efforts to further strengthen the Bank, enhance shareholder value, and resume shareholder dividend payments as soon as possible. Thank you for your ongoing loyalty, support, patience, and cooperation.
