Exhibit 99.1

To our Shareholders:

The Company’s earnings for the first quarter of 2002 exceeded budget projections and we expect the second quarter to outperform the first.  Improvements in operating efficiencies and asset quality has had a positive impact on interest margins and profitability.  We expect interest margins to continue to improve at least through mid-year.

Net income for the quarter was $376,000, an increase of $68,000, or 22%, over the same period last year.  Earnings per share were $.14 for the first three months of 2002 compared to $.12 for those same three months of 2001.  While net interest income decreased due to actions of the Federal Reserve and the contraction of the balance sheet to manage asset quality and to control interest expense, net income improved due to lower operating expenses, higher non-interest income, and no provision for loan loss in the first three months.  CSB’s capital-to-asset ratio reached a record high 11.40% at March 31, 2002.  The book value per share was $12.49 at the end of the quarter.

Deposit interest rates have been increased to provide CSB customers with the best return possible and still provide competitive interest rates for loan customers.  The Company’s overall performance continues to improve based on prudent, safe and sound community banking fundamentals and diminishing regulatory undertakings.  As a result, the Company is now able to more fully concentrate on moving the Bank toward further growth and profitability opportunities.

We expect 2002 to be a good year for the Company and ask you to assist us make it even better by referring new customers to CSB.

Thank you for your ongoing loyalty and support.


/s/ C. James Bess
