title insurance businesses.  BSG Title Services, LLC and OVB Title Services, LLC

     Financial information regarding the Company for the past three fiscal years
is contained in the Company's  consolidated  financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2005.

                               Lending Activities

     The  Company's   loan   portfolio   increased   $16,958,000  to  finish  at
$617,532,000  in  2005.  The loan  portfolio  is  comprised  of  commercial  and
industrial, real estate and consumer loans including credit card and home equity
loans.  Commercial and industrial  loans increased  $10,478,000 or 4.6% and real
estate loans  increased  $7,774,000  or 3.4%,  while  consumer  loans  decreased
$1,150,000  or 0.8% as compared to 2004.  Consolidated  interest and fee revenue
from  loans  accounted  for  89.30%,  77.35%  and  81.07% of total  consolidated
revenues in 2005, 2004 and 2003,  respectively.  The Company believes that there
is no  significant  concentration  of loans to borrowers  engaged in the same or
similar industries and does not have any loans to foreign entities.

Commercial Loans

     The  Company's  commercial  loan  portfolio  consists of loans to corporate
borrowers  primarily in small to mid-sized  industrial and commercial  companies
that include service, retail and wholesale merchants.  Collateral securing these
loans includes equipment,  inventory,  stock,  commercial real estate and rental
property.  Commercial  loans  are  considered  to have a  higher  level  of risk
compared to other types of loans  (i.e.,  single-family  residential  mortgages,
installment  loans and credit card  loans),  although  care is taken to minimize
these risks.  Numerous risk factors  impact this  portfolio such informationas the economy,
new technology,  labor rates, cash flow,  financial structure and asset quality.
The payment  experience on commercial  loans is incorporated hereindependent on adequate cash flows
from the business to service both interest and principal due.  Thus,  commercial
loans may be more  sensitive to adverse  conditions in the economy  generally or
adverse conditions in a specific industry.  The Company  diversifies risk within
this portfolio by reference.

     Referenceclosely monitoring  industry  concentrations and portfolios to
ensure  that it does not exceed  established  lending  guidelines.  Underwriting
standards require a comprehensive credit analysis and independent  evaluation of
virtually all larger balance commercial loans by the Bank's loan committee prior
to approval. Commercial loans greater than $300,000 are reviewed and approved by
the Executive Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors.

Real Estate Loans

     The Company's  real estate loans consist  primarily of  one-to-four  family
residential  mortgages and carry many of the same customer and industry risks as
the  commercial  loan  portfolio.  Real estate  loans to  consumers  are secured
primarily  by a first lien deed of trust with  evidence of title in favor of the
Bank. The Company also requires proof of hazard  insurance with the Bank or Loan
Central named as the mortgagee and as loss payee. The Company generally requires
the amount of a residential real estate loan be no more than 89% of the purchase
price or the  appraisal  value of the real  estate  securing  the  loan,  unless
private  mortgage  insurance  is herebyobtained  by the  borrower  for the  percentage
exceeding 89%. These loans generally range from one year adjustable

                                       5

to thirty year fixed rate mortgages.  The Company's  market area for real estate
lending is primarily  located in southeastern  Ohio and portions of western West
Virginia. The Bank continues to sell a portion of its new fixed-rate real estate
loan originations to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation  ("Freddie Mac")
to enhance  customer  service and loan pricing.  Secondary market sales of these
real estate  loans,  which have fixed  rates with  fifteen to thirty year terms,
assisted in minimizing the Bank's  exposure to interest rate risk as rates began
to rise in 2004.

Consumer Loans

     Consumer  loans are  secured by  automobiles,  mobile  homes,  recreational
vehicles and other personal  property.  Personal loans and unsecured credit card
receivables are also included as consumer loans.  The Company makes  installment
credit available to customers in their primary market area of southeastern  Ohio
and  portions of western West  Virginia.  Credit  approval  for  consumer  loans
requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay principal and interest due,
stability of employment,  a positive credit record and sufficient collateral for
secured  loans.  The Company  monitors the risk  associated  with these types of
loans by  monitoring  factors such as  portfolio  growth,  lending  policies and
economic  conditions.  Underwriting  standards  are  continually  evaluated  and
modified based upon these factors. A qualified compliance officer is responsible
for monitoring the performance of his or her respective  consumer  portfolio and
updating loan personnel.  The Company makes credit life insurance and health and
accident insurance available to all qualified borrowers thus reducing their risk
of loss when their income is terminated or interrupted.  The Company reviews its
respective  consumer  loan  portfolios  monthly to charge off loans which do not
meet applicable  standards.  Credit card accounts are administered in accordance
with the same standards as those applied to other consumer loans. Consumer loans
generally involve more risk as to collectibility  than mortgage loans because of
the type and nature of  collateral  and,  in certain  instances,  the absence of
collateral.  As a result,  consumer  lending  collections are dependent upon the
borrower's continued financial stability and are adversely affected by job loss,
divorce or personal bankruptcy and by adverse economic conditions. Also included
in the category of consumer  loans are home equity  loans.  Home equity lines of
credit are generally  made as second  mortgages and charged a variable  interest
rate.  Home  equity  lines are  written  with ten year  terms  but are  reviewed
annually.

Underwriting Standards

     The   Company's   underwriting   guidelines   and   standards  are  updated
periodically  and are presented to Item 1(E)the Board of Directors of the holding company
for approval. The purpose of the standards and guidelines is to grant loans on a
sound and  collectible  basis; to invest  available funds in a safe,  profitable
manner;  to serve the  legitimate  credit needs of the Company's  primary market
areas;  and to ensure that all loan applicants  receive fair and equal treatment
in the lending  process.  It is the intent of the  underwriting  guidelines  and
standards to: minimize losses by carefully  investigating  the credit history of
each applicant,  verify the source of repayment and the ability of the applicant
to  repay,  collateralize  those  loans  in which  collateral  is  deemed  to be
required,  exercise  care  in  the  documentation  of the  application,  review,
approval,   and  origination   process,  and  administer  a  comprehensive  loan
collection  program.  The above  guidelines  are  adhered to and  subject to the
experience, background and personal judgment of the loan officer assigned to the
loan  application.  A loan officer may grant,  with  justification,  a loan with
variances  from the  underwriting  guidelines  and  standards.  However,  a loan
officer may not exceed his or her respective lending authority without obtaining
the prior, proper approval from a superior.

                              Investment Activities

     The Company's  investment  policy stresses the management of the investment
securities  portfolio,  which  includes  both  securities  held-to-maturity  and
securities  available-for-sale,  to maximize the return over the  long-term in a
manner that is consistent  with good banking  practices  and relative  safety of
principal.  The  Company's  investment  portfolio is comprised of a  significant

     Sources  of  funds  for  financial information pertainingloan  and  investment   activities  include  "core
deposits." Core deposits include demand deposits,  savings and NOW accounts, and
certificates  of deposit  less than  $100,000.  The  Company  will also  utilize
certificates of deposit from wholesale  markets,  when necessary,  to Ohio Valley's business

                                   Competition
                                   -----------

     The financial services industry is highly  competitive.  As of December 31,
2005,  there  were 123 bank  holding  companies  operating  in the State of Ohio
registered with the Federal  Reserve.  These holding  companies  control various
banks throughout Ohio, which compete for business to expand market areas as well
as acquire  additional  banks.  The principal  factors of  competition  for Ohio
Valley's banking business are the rates of interest charged for loans, the rates
of  interest  paid  for  deposits,   the  fees  charged  for  services  and  the
availability  and  quality  of  services.  The  market  area  for  the  Bank  is
concentrated  primarily in the Gallia,  Jackson,  Pike and Franklin  Counties of
Ohio as well as the Mason,  Kanawha and Cabell  Counties of West Virginia.  Some
additional  business  originates  from the  surrounding  Ohio counties of Meigs,
Vinton,  Lawrence,  Scioto and Ross.  Competition  for  deposits and loans comes
primarily from local banks and savings  associations,  although some competition
is also  experienced  from local credit unions,  insurance  companies and mutual
funds. In addition,  larger regional  institutions,  with substantially  greater
resources,  are generating a growing  market  presence.  Loan  Central's  market
presence  further  strengthens  Ohio Valley's  ability to compete in the Gallia,
Jackson  and Pike  Counties  by serving a  consumer  base which may not meet the
Bank's  credit  standards.  Loan Central also  operates in the Ohio  counties of
Lawrence  and  Scioto,  which  are  outside  the  Bank's  primary  market  area.
3
Additionally,  Ohio Valley Financial Services sells life insurance which further
strengthens the blend of services  available to Ohio Valley's consumer base. The
principal  factors of competition for Ohio Valley's  bankingCompany's  business
are the rates of  interest  charged for loans,  the rates of  interest  paid for
deposits,  the fees  charged for services  and the  availability  and quality of
services.  The business of Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries is not seasonal,  nor is it dependent upon a single or small
group of customers.

     The Bank deals with a wide  cross-section  of  individuals,  businesses and
corporations  which are located  primarily in southeastern Ohio and western West
Virginia.  Few loans are made to borrowers outside this area.  Lending decisions
are made in  accordance  with written loan  policies  designed to maintain  loan
quality.  The Bank originates  commercial loans,  residential real estate loans,
home equity lines of credit,  installment  loans and credit card loans. The Bank
believes  that  there is no  significant  concentration  of  loans to  borrowers
engaged in the same or similar industries and does not have any loans to foreign
entities.

     Commercial  lending  entails  significant  risks in its  exposure to higher
average  dollars  per  loan as  compared  with  other  types of  lending  (i.e.,
single-family residential mortgage lending,  installment lending and credit card
loans).  The payment  experience on commercial  loans is typically  dependent on
adequate cash flows to service both interest and principal due. Thus, commercial
loans may be more  sensitive to adverse  conditions in the economy  generally or
adverse conditions in a specific industry.

     The Bank and Loan Central make installment credit available to customers in
their  primary  market area of  southeastern  Ohio and  portions of western West
Virginia.   Credit  approval  for  consumer  loans  requires   demonstration  of
sufficient income to repay principal and interest due,  stability of employment,
a positive credit record and sufficient  collateral for secured loans. It is the
policy  of the  Bank  and  Loan  Central  to  adhere  strictly  to all  laws and
regulations  governing  consumer  lending.  A  qualified  compliance  officer is
responsible  for  monitoring the  performance of his or her respective  consumer
portfolio  and updating  loan  personnel.  The Bank and Loan Central make credit
life  insurance  and health and accident  insurance  available to all  qualified
borrowers  thus  reducing  their  risk  of  loss  when a  borrower's  income  is
terminated or  interrupted.  The Bank and Loan Central  review their  respective
consumer  loan  portfolios  monthly to charge  off loans  which do not meet that
subsidiary's standards. Credit card accounts are administered in accordance with
the same  standards as those applied to other  consumer  loans.  Consumer  loans
generally involve more risk as to collectibility  than mortgage loans because of
the type and nature of  collateral  and,  in certain  instances,  the absence of
collateral.  As a result,  consumer  lending  collections are dependent upon the
borrower's continued financial stability and are adversely affected by job loss,
divorce or personal bankruptcy and by adverse economic conditions.

     The market  area for real  estate  lending  by the Bank is also  located in
southeastern  Ohio and portions of western  West  Virginia.  The Bank  generally
requires the amount of a residential real estate loan be no more than 89% of the
purchase  price or the  appraisal  value of the real estate  securing  the loan,
unless private mortgage insurance is obtained by the borrower for the percentage
exceeding 89%. These loans  generally  range from one year  adjustable to thirty
year fixed rate mortgages.  In the third quarter of 2002, the Bank began selling
a large  portion of its new  fixed-rate  real  estate loan  originations  to the
Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("Freddie  Mac") to enhance  customer
service and loan pricing. Secondary market sales of these real estate loans,

                                       4


which have fixed rates with fifteen to thirty year terms, assisted in minimizing
the Bank's  exposure to interest rate risk as rates began to rise in 2004.  Real
estate loans are secured by first  mortgages  with evidence of title in favor of
the  Bank in the form of an  attorney's  opinion  of title or a title  insurance
policy.  The Bank also requires proof of hazard insurance with the Bank named as
the mortgagee and as loss payee.  Home equity lines of credit are generally made
as second  mortgages  by the Bank.  The home equity  lines of credit are written
with ten year  terms but are  reviewed  annually.  A variable  interest  rate is
generally charged on the home equity lines of credit.

     Consolidated revenues from loans accounted for 77.35%, 81.07% and 82.29% of
total consolidated revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Revenues from
interest and  dividends on securities  accounted  for 7.13%,  7.23% and 7.16% of
total consolidated revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

     To continue the expansion of the Bank's market presence and further enhance
customer  service,  the  Bank  began a phase of  SuperBank  branch  openings  in
December  1996.  From 1996 to 2001, the Bank opened eight  SuperBank  facilities
within supermarkets and Wal-Mart stores. These new branches service the market areas
of Gallia,  Jackson,  Meigs and Lawrence counties of Ohio as well as the growing
Kanawha and Cabell counties of West Virginia.

     Furthermore, withOverall,  the adventCompany  believes it is able to compete  effectively  in both
current and newer markets. There can be no assurance, however, that our ability

                                       7

to market products and services  successfully or to obtain adequate yield on our
loans will not be impacted by the nature of the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Ohio Valley has
expanded its business  beyond  banking  services.  In October 2000,  Ohio Valley
participated  in the  purchase of  ProCentury  Corp.,  a property  and  casualty
insurance  underwriter  and  reinsurance  company.  Ohio  Valley's  interest  in
ProCentury  Corp.  was sold in 2004  through an  initial  public  offeringcompetition  that yielded an after-tax gain of $1,625. ProAlliance Corp. was formed as a result of
a dividend paid to the owners of ProCentury  Corp.  prior to this initial public
offering in 2004.Furthermore,  Ohio Valley formed Ohio Valley Financial Services
and two title insurance agencie, BSG Title Services, LLC and OVB Title Services,

services on a more efficient and convenient basis.now exists or
may later develop.

                           Supervision and Regulation
                           --------------------------

     The following is a summary of certain  statutes and  regulations  affecting
Ohio Valley as well as the Bank and Loan  Central.  The summary is  qualified in
its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.

Regulation of Bank Holding Company

     Ohio  Valley  is  subject  to the  requirements  of the  BHC Act and to the
reporting  requirements  of, and  examination  and  regulation  by, the Board of
Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System (the  "Federal  Reserve  Board").  The
Federal Reserve Board also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding
companies,  including,  among other things, the ability to:

o  assess civil money penalties;

                                       5


o  issue cease and desist or removal orders; and

o  require  that  a bank holding  company  divest  subsidiaries  (including  its
   banking subsidiaries).

     In general,  the Federal Reserve Board may initiate  enforcement action for
violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.

     Under Federal  Reserve Board policy,  a bank holding company is expected to
serve as a source of financial  strength to each  subsidiary  bank and to commit
resources to support  those  subsidiary  banks.  Under this policy,  the Federal
Reserve  Board may  require a bank  holding  company  to  contribute  additional
capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank.

     The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board in any
case where a bank holding company proposes to:

o  acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
   shares of any bank that is not already majority-owned by it;

o  acquire all  or  substantially  all of the  assets of  another  bank  or bank
   holding company; or

o  merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company.

Transactions with Affiliates, Directors, Executive Officers and Shareholders

     Section 23A and 23B of the Federal  Reserve Act and  Regulation  W restrict
transactions by banks and their subsidiaries with their affiliates. An affiliate
of a bank is any company or entity which controls,  is controlled by or is under
common control with the bank.

     Generally, Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W:

(1)o  limit  the  extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered
   transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of that bank's
   capital stock and surplus (i.e., tangible capital),  (2);

                                       8

o  limit the extent to which a bank or its  subsidiaries  may engage in "covered
   transactions"  with all  affiliates to  20% of  that bank's capital stock and
   surplus,surplus; and

(3)o  require that all such transactions be on  terms substantially the same, or at
   least  as  favorable  to  the  bank  subsidiary,   as   those  provided  to a
   non-affiliate.

The term "covered  transaction"  includes the making of loans to the  affiliate,
the purchase of assets from the affiliate,  issuance of a guarantee on behalf of
the affiliate,  the purchase of securities  issued by the  affiliate,  and other
similar types of transactions.

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

Regulation of Ohio State Chartered Banks

     As an Ohio state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve
Bank,  the Bank is  supervised  and  regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial
Institutions and the FDIC.

     The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and the
Bank is subject to the applicable  provisions of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Act and the regulations of the FDIC.

     Various  requirements and restrictions  under the laws of the United States
and the State of Ohio and the State of West  Virginia  affect the  operations of
the  Bank,  including   requirements  to  maintain  reserves  against  deposits,
restrictions on the nature and amount of loans that may be made and the interest
that may be charged  thereon,  restrictions  relating to  investments  and other
activities,  limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks,  limitations
on activities based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends,
and limitations on branching.

Holding Company Activities

     In  November of 1999,  the Gramm-Leach-BlileyGLB Act ("GLB Act") was  enacted,  amending  the BHC Act and
modernizing  the laws  governing the financial  services  industry.  The GLB Act
authorized  the  creation of  financial  holding  companies,  a new type of bank
holding  company  with  powers  exceeding  those  of  traditional  bank  holding
companies.  Ohio Valley became a financial holding company during 2000. In order
to become a financial  holding  company,  a bank holding  company and all of its
depository  institutions must be well capitalized and well managed under federal
banking  regulations,  and the  depository  institutions  must have  received  a
Community Investment Act rating of at least satisfactory.

     Financial  holding  companies  may engage in a wide  variety  of  financial
activities,  including  any activity  that the Federal  Reserve and the Treasury
Department  consider financial in nature or incidental to financial  activities,
and any activity that the Federal Reserve Board determines complementary to a

                                       9
financial  activity and which does not pose a  substantial  safety and soundness
risk. These activities include securities  underwriting and dealing  activities,
insurance and  underwriting  activities and merchant  banking/equity  investment
activities.  Because it has  authority  to engage in a broad array of  financial
activities,  a financial  holding  company may have several  affiliates that are
functionally  regulated by financial  regulators  other than the Federal Reserve
Board, such as the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC")SEC and state insurance  regulators.  The GLB Act directs the
Federal Reserve Board to rely to the maximum extent possible on examinations and
reports  prepared by functional  regulators.  The Federal  Reserve Board is also
prohibited  from  applying  any capital  standard  directly to any  functionally
regulated subsidiary that is already in compliance with the capital requirements
of its functional regulator.

     Loan Central is supervised and regulated by the State of Ohio Department of
Financial  Institutions,  Division of Consumer Finance.  Ohio Valley's insurance
company  investments,  ProAlliance  Corp., Ohio Valley Financial  Services BSG
Title Services, LLC and OVB Title Services, LLCProAlliance Corp. are
allboth supervised and regulated by the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.  The
insurance  laws  and  regulations   applicable  to  insurance  agencies  require
education and licensing of individual  agents and agencies,  require reports and
impose business conduct rules.

                                       7


     The GLB Act  provides  that if a  subsidiary  bank of a  financial  holding
company  fails to be both  well  capitalized  and well  managed,  the  financial
holding  company must enter into a written  agreement  with the Federal  Reserve
Board  within 45 days to  comply  with all  applicable  capital  and  management
requirements.  Until the Federal Reserve Board determines that the bank is again
well  capitalized  and well  managed,  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  may  impose
additional  limitations  or  conditions  on the  conduct  or  activities  of the
financial  holding company or any affiliate that the Federal Reserve Board finds
to be  appropriate  or  consistent  with federal  banking laws. If the financial
holding company does not correct the capital or management  deficiencies  within
180 days, the financial  holding company may be required to divest  ownership or
control  of all  banks,  including  state-chartered  non-member  banks and other
well-capitalized  institutions  owned by the financial  holding  company.  If an
insured  bank  subsidiary  fails to  maintain a  satisfactory  rating  under the
Community  Reinvestment  Act, the  financial  holding  company may not engage in
activities  permitted only to financial holding companies until such time as the
bank receives a satisfactory rating.

Capital Requirements

     The Federal  Reserve Board has adopted  risk-based  capital  guidelines for
bank  holding  companies.  The  risk-based  capital  guidelines  include  both a
definition  of capital and a framework for  calculating  weighted risk assets by
assigning  assets and  off-balance  sheet  items to broad risk  categories.  The
minimum ratio of capital to risk weighted assets (including certain  off-balance
sheet  items,  such as standby  letters of credit) to be  considered  adequately
capitalized is 8%. At least 4.0  percentage  points is to be comprised of common
shareholders' equity (including retained earnings but excluding treasury stock),
noncumulative   perpetual  preferred  stock,  a  limited  amount  of  cumulative
perpetual  preferred  stock,  and  minority  interests  in  equity  accounts  of
consolidated  subsidiaries,  less goodwill and certain other  intangible  assets
("Tier 1  Capital").  The  remainder  ("Tier 2 Capital")  may consist of certain
amounts of hybrid capital  instruments,  mandatory  convertible debt securities,
subordinated  debt,  preferred  stock not  qualifying  as Tier 1  Capital  and a
limited amount of allowance for loan and lease losses. The Federal Reserve Board
also imposes a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital to total assets) of 3% for
bank holding  companies  that meet certain  specified  conditions,  including no
operational,  financial or supervisory  deficiencies,  and including  having the
highest  regulatory  rating.  The minimum leverage ratio is 100-200 basis points
higher for other bank  holding  companies  and state member banks based on their
particular   circumstances   and  risk  profiles  and  those   experiencing   or
anticipating significant growth.

                                       10

     State  non-member  banks,  such as the Bank, are subject to similar capital
requirements adopted by the FDIC. Ohio Valley and the Bank currently satisfy all
applicable capital  requirements.  Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines
could  subject  a  banking  institution  to a variety  of  enforcement  remedies
available to federal and state regulatory authorities, including the termination
of deposit insurance by the FDIC.

     Federal banking  regulators have established  regulations  governing prompt
corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks.  Under these  regulations,
institutions   which  become   undercapitalized   become  subject  to  mandatory
regulatory  scrutiny and  limitations,  which  increase as capital  continues to
decrease.  Such  institutions are also required to file capital plans with their
primary  federal  regulator,  and their  holding  companies  must  guarantee the
capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at
the time it becomes undercapitalized.

                                       8


Limits on Dividends

     The ability of a bank  holding  company to obtain  funds for the payment of
dividends and for other cash  requirements is largely dependent on the amount of
dividends that may be declared by its subsidiary  banks and other  subsidiaries.
However,  the Federal  Reserve Board expects Ohio Valley to serve as a source of
strength  to the  Bank,  which may  require  it to retain  capital  for  further
investments  in the Bank,  rather than for  dividends for  shareholders  of Ohio
Valley.  The Bank may not pay  dividends  to Ohio Valley if,  after  paying such
dividends,  it  would  fail  to meet  the  required  minimum  levels  under  the
risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio  requirements.  The
Bank must have the approval of its  regulatory  authorities if a dividend in any
year  would  cause the total  dividends  for that year to exceed  the sum of its
current year's net profits and retained net profits for the preceding two years,
less  required  transfers  to surplus.  Payment of  dividends by the Bank may be
restricted at any time at the discretion of its regulatory authorities,  if they
deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound  banking  practice or
if necessary to maintain  adequate  capital for the Bank. These provisions could
have the  effect of  limiting  Ohio  Valley's  ability to pay  dividends  on its
outstanding common shares.

Deposit Insurance Assessments

     The FDIC is authorizedan  independent  federal agency which insures  deposits,  up to
establish  separate annualprescribed statutory limits, of federally-issued  banks and savings associations
and safeguards the safety and soundness of the financial institution industry.

     Insurance  Premiums:   Insurance  premiums  for  insured  institutions  are
determined  during each  semi-annual  assessment  rates forperiod based upon the members'
respective  categorization  as  well  capitalized,   adequately  capitalized  or
undercapitalized.  The FDIC assigns banks to one of three supervisory  subgroups
within each capital group. The supervisory  subgroup to which a bank is assigned
is based on a supervisory  evaluation provided to the FDIC by the bank's primary
federal  regulator and  information  which the FDIC determines to be relevant to
the  bank's  financial  condition  and the risk posed to the  deposit  insurance
for members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Savings
Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The Bank is a member of the BIF. The FDIC
may increasefunds. A bank's  assessment rates for either fund if necessary to restore the fund's
ratio of reserves to insured  deposits to its target  level  within a reasonable
time and may decrease such rates if such target level has been met. The FDIC has
established a risk-based assessment system for both BIF and SAIF members.  Under
this system,  assessments  vary basedrate depends on the risk the  institution  posescapital category and supervisory
category to its
deposit  insurance fund. The risk levelwhich it is determined based on the institution's
capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.assigned.

     The  assessment  currently  ranges  from  1.441.32 to 28.4428.32  cents  per $100 of
domestic deposits. The Bank is currently paying an assessment rate of 1.441.32 cents
per $100 of domestic deposits.  An increase in this assessment rate could have a
material adverse effect on earnings on the Bank,  depending on the amount of the
increase.

                                       11

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The FDIC is required to adopt rules  implementing the various  provisions of the
Deposit  Insurance  Reform Acts.  The BIF and the SAIF are required to be merged
into the DIF by July 1, 2006, while most of the other provisions are required to
be implemented by November 5, 2006. Ohio Valley is not yet able to determine the
effect the Deposit Insurance Reform Acts will have on Ohio Valley.

Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

     The business of commercial  banks is affected not only by general  economic
conditions,  but  also  by  the  policies  of  various  governmental  regulatory
authorities,  including the Federal  Reserve  Board.  The Federal  Reserve Board
regulates  the  money  and  credit  conditions  and  interest  rates in order to
influence general economic  conditions  primarily through open market operations
in U.S. Government  securities,  changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings
and changes in reserve  requirements  against bank deposits.  These policies and
regulations  significantly  influence  the amount of bank loans and deposits and
the  interest  rates  charged  and paid  thereon,  and thus  have an  effect  on
earnings.

Patriot Act

     In response to the terrorist  events of September 11, 2001, the Uniting and
Strengthening  of America by Providing  Appropriate  Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct  Terrorist Act of 2001 (the  "Patriot  Act") was signed into law in
October 2001. The Patriot Act gives the federal government new powers to address
terrorist  threats  through  enhanced  domestic  security   measures,   expanded
surveillance  powers,  increased  information  sharing and broadened  anti-money
laundering requirements. Title III of the Patriot Act takes measures intended to
encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement

                                       12

bodies. Further,  certain provisions of Title III impose affirmative obligations
on a broad range of financial institutions.  Among other requirements, Title III
and related regulations require regulated financial  institutions to establish a
program  specifying  procedures  for  obtaining  identifying   information  from
customers  seeking to open new accounts  and  establish  enhanced due  diligence
policies,  procedures  and  controls  designed  to detect and report  suspicious
activity. The Company has established policies and procedures to comply with the
requirements of the Patriot Act.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

     On July 30, 2002,  President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley  Act"). The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are
to increase  corporate  responsibility,  to provide for enhanced  penalties  for
accounting  and  auditing  improprieties  at publicly  traded  companies  and to

                                       9

protect  investors  by  improving  the  accuracy  and  reliability  of corporate
disclosures  made  pursuant to the  securities  laws.  The proposed  changes are
intended to allow  shareholders  to monitor the  performance  of  companies  and
directors more easily and efficiently.

     The  Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses,  among other matters:  audit committees;
corporate  responsibility  for  financial  reports;  a  requirement  that  chief
executive and chief  financial  officers  forfeit certain bonuses and profits if
their  companies  issue an accounting  restatement as a result of misconduct;  a

     The Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act provides a "safe harbor" for
forward-looking   statements  to  encourage  companies  to  provide  prospective
information so long as those  statements are identified as  forward-looking  and
are  accompanied  by  meaningful  cautionary  statements  identifying  important
factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those
discussed in the forward-looking  statements. We desire to take advantage of the
"safe harbor" provisions of that Act.

     Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results
may differ  materially  from those predicted by the  forward-looking  statements
because  of  various  factors  and  possible  events,  including:  (i) changes in political,
economic or otherincluding  those  factors
such as inflation  rates,  recessionary  or expansive
trends,  and taxes; (ii) competitive  pressures;  (iii) fluctuations in interest
rates;  (iv) the level of defaults and  prepayment on loans made by the Company;
(v) unanticipated litigation,  claims, or assessments;  (vi) fluctuations in the
cost of obtaining funds to make loans; and (vii) regulatory changes.identified below. There is also the risk that weOhio Valley's  management or Board
of Directors incorrectly analyzeanalyzes these risks and forces, or that the strategies
we developOhio Valley develops to address them are unsuccessful.

     Forward-looking  statements  speak  only as of the date on  which  they are
made,  and,  except  as may be  required  by  law,  Ohio  Valley  undertakes  no
obligation  to  update  any  forward-looking  statement  to  reflect  events  or
circumstances  after  the  date on  which  the  statement  is  made  to  reflect
unanticipated events. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable  to Ohio Valley or any person acting on our behalf are qualified in
their entirety by the following cautionary statements.

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

     Our earnings depend substantially on our interest rate spread, which is the
difference between (i) the rates we earn on loans,  securities and other earning
assets and (ii) the  interest  rates we pay on  deposits  and other  borrowings.
These rates are highly  sensitive to many factors beyond our control,  including
general  economic  conditions  and the  policies  of  various  governmental  and
regulatory  authorities.  While we have taken  measures  intended  to manage the
risks of  operating in a changing  interest  rate  environment,  there can be no
assurance  that such measures will be effective in avoiding  undue interest rate
risk.  As market  interest  rates rise,  we will have  competitive  pressures to
increase  the rates we pay on  deposits,  which will result in a decrease of our
net interest  income and could have a material  adverse  effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Changes  in  economic  and  political  conditions  could  adversely  affect  our
earnings,  as our  borrowers'  ability  to  repay  loans  and the  value  of the
collateral securing our loans decline.

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

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

     In our  market  area,  we  encounter  significant  competition  from  other
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage banking
firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance

                                       19

companies,  money market  mutual  funds and other  financial  institutions.  The
increasingly  competitive  environment  is a  result  primarily  of  changes  in
regulation,   changes  in  technology  and  product  delivery  systems  and  the
accelerating pace of consolidation  among financial service  providers.  Many of
our competitors have substantially  greater resources and lending limits than we
do and may offer  services  that we do not or cannot  provide.  Our  ability  to
maintain our history of strong financial performance and return on investment to
shareholders   will  depend  in  part  on  our  continued   ability  to  compete
successfully  in our  market  area and on our  ability  to  expand  our scope of
available  financial  services  as needed to meet the needs and  demands  of our
customers.

Our  profitability  depends  significantly  on the  condition  of the  local and
regional economies where we operate.

     We currently  have offices in Ohio and West Virginia.  Consistent  with our
community  banking  philosophy,  a majority of  customers  are located in and do
business in that region,  and we lend a  substantial  portion of our capital and
resources to commercial  and consumer  borrowers in our local  banking  markets.
Therefore,  our local and regional economy has a direct impact on our ability to
generate  deposits to support loan growth,  the demand for loans, the ability of
borrowers  to  repay  loans,   the  value  of  collateral   securing  our  loans
(particularly  loans  secured  by real  estate),  and our  ability  to  collect,
liquidate and restructure problem loans. If the economies of our banking markets
are  adversely  affected by a general  economic  downturn  or by other  specific
events or trends, the resulting impact could have a direct adverse effect on our
operating results. We are less able than larger financial institutions to spread
risks  of  unfavorable  local  economic  conditions  across  a large  number  of
diversified economies.

Our small to  medium-sized  business  target  market  may have  fewer  financial
resources to weather a downturn in the economy.

     We target our business  development  and  marketing  strategy  primarily to
serve  the  banking  and  financial  services  needs of  small  to  medium-sized
businesses.   These  small  to  medium-sized  businesses  generally  have  fewer
financial  resources  in terms of  capital or  borrowing  capacity  than  larger
companies.  If general economic  conditions  negatively impact our Ohio and West
Virginia  markets  or the other  geographic  markets  in which we  operate,  our
results of operations and financial condition may be negatively affected.

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

     Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms,  and
the collateral  securing the payment of these loans may be  insufficient  to pay
any remaining loan balance.  We may experience  significant  loan losses,  which
could have a material  adverse  effect on our operating  results.  In accordance
with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States, we maintain
an allowance  for loan losses to provide for loan  defaults and  non-performance
and a reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which when combined, we refer to as
the allowance for loan losses. Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate
to cover actual credit  losses,  and future  provisions  for credit losses could
have a material adverse effect on our operating results.  Our allowance for loan
losses is based on prior  experience,  as well as an  evaluation of the risks in
the current portfolio.  The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in
economic,  operating and other  conditions,  including changes in interest rates
that may be beyond our control,  and these losses may exceed current  estimates.
Federal regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of their examination process,
review our loans and  allowance  for loan losses.  We cannot  assure you that we
will not further  increase the allowance for loan losses or that regulators will
not require us to increase this  allowance.  Either of these  occurrences  could
have a  material  adverse  effect on our  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations.

                                       20

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

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

Our earnings are  significantly  affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of
the Federal Government and its agencies.

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

Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant  litigation,  could
adversely impact us or the businesses in which we are engaged.

     The financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to
extensive state and federal regulation,  supervision and legislation that govern
almost all aspects of our operations.  Laws and regulations may change from time
to time and are primarily  intended for the protection of consumers,  depositors
and the deposit insurance funds, and not to benefit our shareholders. The impact
of any changes to laws and  regulations or other actions by regulatory  agencies
may  negatively  impact us or our ability to increase the value of our business.
Regulatory  authorities  have  extensive  discretion  in  connection  with their
supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions
on  the  operation  of an  institution,  the  classification  of  assets  by the
institution  and the  adequacy of an  institution's  allowance  for loan losses.
Additionally,  actions by regulatory agencies or significant  litigation against
us could cause us to devote  significant  time and  resources to  defending  our
business  and  may  lead  to  penalties  that  materially   affect  us  and  our
shareholders.  Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are
frequently  raised in Congress  and before bank  regulatory  authorities.  It is
impossible to predict the ultimate form any proposed  legislation  might take or
how it might  affect  us.  Future  changes in the laws or  regulations  or their
interpretation  or enforcement  could be materially  adverse to our business and
our shareholders.

                                       21

If we foreclose on collateral  property and own the underlying  real estate,  we
may be subject to the  increased  costs  associated  with the  ownership of real
property, resulting in reduced revenues.

     We may have to foreclose on collateral  property to protect our  investment
and may  thereafter  own and  operate  such  property,  in which case we will be
exposed to the risks  inherent in the ownership of real estate.  The amount that
we, as a  mortgagee,  may  realize  after a default is  dependent  upon  factors
outside of our  control,  including,  but not  limited  to: (i) general or local
economic  conditions;  (ii) neighborhood values; (iii) interest rates; (iv) real
estate tax rates;  (v)  operating  expenses of the  mortgaged  properties;  (vi)
supply of and demand for rental units or properties; (vii) ability to obtain and
maintain  adequate  occupancy  of  the  properties;  (viii)  zoning  laws;  (ix)
governmental  rules,  regulations  and  fiscal  policies;  and (x)  acts of God.
Certain expenditures  associated with the ownership of real estate,  principally
real estate taxes and maintenance  costs,  may adversely  affect the income from
the real estate. Therefore, the cost of operating a real property may exceed the
rental  income  earned from such  property,  and we may have to advance funds in
order to protect  our  investment,  or we may be required to dispose of the real
property at a loss. The foregoing  expenditures and costs could adversely affect
our ability to generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.

Environmental liability associated with commercial lending could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     In  the  course  of our  business,  we may  acquire,  through  foreclosure,
commercial  properties securing loans that are in default.  There is a risk that
hazardous substances could be discovered on those properties.  In this selection.event, we
could be required to remove the substances  from and remediate the properties at
our cost and expense. The cost of removal and environmental remediation could be
substantial.  We may not  have  adequate  remedies  against  the  owners  of the
properties  or  other  responsible  parties  and  could  find  it  difficult  or
impossible to sell the affected  properties.  These events could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

Our business strategy includes growth plans. Our financial condition and results
of operations could be negatively  affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage
our growth effectively.

     We intend to continue pursuing a profitable growth strategy.  Our prospects
must be considered in light of the risks,  expenses and difficulties  frequently
encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development.  We cannot
assure you that we will be able to expand our market  presence  in our  existing
markets or  successfully  enter new markets or that any such  expansion will not
adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations.  Failure  to manage  our growth
effectively  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our  business,  future
prospects,  financial  condition or results of  operations  and could  adversely
affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.  Also, if we
grow more slowly than  anticipated,  our  operating  results could be materially
adversely affected.

     Our  ability  to grow  successfully  will  depend on a variety  of  factors
including the continued  availability of desirable business  opportunities,  the
competitive responses from other financial  institutions in our market areas and
our  ability to manage  our  growth.  While we  believe  we have the  management
resources  and  internal  systems  in place to  successfully  manage  our future
growth,  there can be no  assurance  growth  opportunities  will be available or
growth will be successfully managed.

                                       22

Our ability to pay cash  dividends is limited,  and we may be unable to pay cash
dividends in the future even if we elect to do so.

     We are dependent primarily upon the earnings of our operating  subsidiaries
for funds to pay dividends on our common  stock.  The payment of dividends by us
is also subject to certain regulatory restrictions.  As a result, any payment of
dividends  in the future will be  dependent,  in large  part,  on our ability to
satisfy these regulatory  restrictions and our subsidiaries'  earnings,  capital
requirements,  financial  condition  and other  factors.  Although our financial
earnings  and  financial  condition  have allowed us to declare and pay periodic
cash dividends to our shareholders,  there can be no assurance that our dividend
policy or size of dividend distribution will continue in the future. Our failure
to pay  dividends on our common shares could have a material  adverse  effect on
the market price of our common shares.

The loss of key members of our senior management team could adversely affect our
business.

     We believe that our success depends largely on the efforts and abilities of
our senior  management.  Their  experience and industry  contacts  significantly
benefit us. In addition,  our success  depends in part upon senior  management's
ability to implement  our  business  strategy.  The  competition  for  qualified
personnel  in the  financial  services  industry  is  intense,  and the  loss of
services of any of our senior executive  officers or an inability to continue to
attract,  retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business.
We cannot  assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key  personnel
or attract additional qualified personnel.

Loss of key employees may disrupt relationships with certain customers.

     Our  business  is  primarily  relationship-driven  in that  many of our key
employees have  extensive  customer  relationships.  Loss of a key employee with
such  customer  relationships  may lead to the loss of business if the customers
were to follow that employee to a competitor. While we believe our relationships
with  our key  producers  is  good,  we  cannot  guarantee  that  all of our key
personnel will remain with our organization.  Loss of such key personnel, should
they enter into an employment  relationship  with one of our competitors,  could
result in the loss of some of our customers.

Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.

     Technology  and other  changes are allowing  parties to complete  financial
transactions  that  historically  have involved banks at one or both ends of the
transaction.  For  example,  consumers  can now pay  bills  and  transfer  funds
directly  without  banks.  The process of eliminating  banks as  intermediaries,
known as  disintermediation,  could result in the loss of fee income, as well as
the loss of customer deposits and income generated from those deposits.

Management's  accounting policies and methods are the basis of how we report our
financial  condition and results of  operations,  and these policies may require
management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

     Management's  accounting  policies  and methods are  fundamental  to how we
record  and report our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Our
management  must  exercise  judgment in  selecting  and  applying  many of these
accounting  policies  and  methods  in order to  ensure  that they  comply  with
generally accepted accounting principles and reflect management's judgment as to
the most  appropriate  manner  in which  to  record  and  report  our  financial
condition and results of operations.  In some cases,  management must select the
accounting policy or method to apply from two or more alternatives, any of which

                                       23

might be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  yet might  result in  reporting
materially  different  amounts than would have been  reported  under a different
alternative.

     Management has identified several  accounting  policies as being "critical"
to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because
they require management to make particularly subjective and/or complex judgments
about matters that are inherently  uncertain and because of the likelihood  that
materially  different  amounts would be reported under  different  conditions or
using different  assumptions.  Because of the inherent  uncertainty of estimates
about  these  matters,  no  assurance  can be  given  that  the  application  of
alternative  policies or methods  might not result in our  reporting  materially
different amounts.

The price of our common  shares may be volatile,  which may result in losses for
shareholders.

     Several  factors  could cause the price of our common  shares to  fluctuate
substantially in the future. These factors include:

o  announcements of developments related to our business;

o  fluctuations in our results of operations;

o  sales of substantial amounts of our securities into the marketplace;

o  general conditions in our markets or the worldwide economy;

o  a  shortfall  in  revenues  or  earnings  compared  to  securities  analysts'
   expectations;

o  changes in analysts' recommendations or projections; and

o  our announcement of new acquisitions or other projects.

     The market price of our common  shares may fluctuate  significantly  in the
future,  and these  fluctuations  may be unrelated to our  performance.  General
market price declines or market  volatility in the future could adversely affect
the  price  of our  common  shares,  and the  current  market  price  may not be
indicative of future market prices.

A limited  trading market exists for our common shares which could lead to price
volatility.

     Your  ability  to sell or  purchase  our  common  shares  depends  upon the
existence of an active trading market for our common shares. Although our common
shares  are quoted on the Nasdaq  National  Market,  the volume of trades on any
given day has been limited historically.  As a result, you may be unable to sell
or purchase  our common  shares at the  volume,  price and time that you desire.
Additionally,  a fair  valuation  of the  purchase  or sales price of our common
shares  also  depends  upon an  active  trading  market,  and thus the price you
receive for a thinly-traded stock such as our common shares, may not reflect its
true  value.  The  limited  trading  market  for our  common  shares  may  cause
fluctuations in the market value of our common shares to be exaggerated, leading
to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading
market.

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

     We and our  subsidiaries  may be involved from time to time in a variety of
litigation  arising out of our business.  Our insurance may not cover all claims
that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us,  regardless
of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the

                                       24

ultimate  judgments  or  settlements  in any  litigation  exceed  our  insurance
coverage,  they could have a material adverse effect on our financial  condition
and results of operation.  In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate
types  or  levels  of  insurance  in the  future,  nor may we be able to  obtain
adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

Unauthorized   disclosure  of  sensitive  or  confidential  client  or  customer
information,  whether  through a breach of our  computer  systems or  otherwise,
could severely harm our business.

     As part of our  business,  we  collect,  process and retain  sensitive  and
confidential  client and customer  information on behalf of our subsidiaries and
other  third  parties.  Despite  the  security  measures  we have in place,  our
facilities and systems,  and those of our third party service providers,  may be
vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism,  computer viruses, misplaced
or lost data,  programming  and/or human  errors,  or other similar  events.  If
information  security is breached,  information can be lost or  misappropriated,
resulting  in financial  loss or costs to us or damages to others.  Any security
breach involving the misappropriation,  loss or other unauthorized disclosure of
confidential  customer  information,  whether  by us or by  our  vendors,  could
severely  damage  our  reputation,  expose  us to the  risks of  litigation  and
liability,  disrupt our  operations  and have a material  adverse  effect on our
business.

Our  organizational  documents may have the effect of discouraging a third party
from acquiring us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

     Our  articles  of  incorporation  contain  provisions  that  make  it  more
difficult for a third party to gain control or acquire us without the consent of
our board of directors.  These  provisions also could  discourage proxy contests
and  may  make  it  more   difficult   for  dissident   shareholders   to  elect
representatives as directors and take other corporate actions.  These provisions
of our  governing  documents  may have the  effect  of  delaying,  deferring  or
preventing  a  transaction  or a change  in  control  that  might be in the best
interest of our shareholders.

Terrorism,  acts of war or international conflicts could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

     Acts or threats of war or  terrorism,  international  conflicts,  including
ongoing military  operations in Iraq and  Afghanistan,  and the actions taken by
the  United  States and other  governments  in  response  to such  events  could
negatively impact general business and economic conditions in the United States.
If terrorist activity,  acts of war or other international  hostilities cause an
overall economic decline, our financial condition and operating results could be
materially  adversely affected.  The potential for future terrorist attacks, the
national and  international  responses to terrorist attacks or perceived threats
to national  security and other  actual or  potential  conflicts or acts of war,
including  conflict in the Middle East, have created many economic and political
uncertainties  that could  seriously harm our business and results of operations
in ways that cannot presently be predicted.

All employees of Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries holding positions with a pay grade of 8 or above are eligible to participate in the Annual Results Bonus Program, including all of Ohio Valley's executive officers. Bonuses payable to participants in the Annual Results Bonus Program are based on the performance of Ohio Valley and its sibsidiaries against specific performance targets designated by Ohio Valley's Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Compensation and Management Succession Committee. In January 2004, the Board of Directors designated specific performance targets for Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries related to earnings growth, return on assets, return on equity and asset quality for fiscal 2004 (the "2004 Performance Targets"). In December 2004, Ohio Valley's Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Management Succession Committee, (1) determined that the 2004 Performance Targets were achieved (due in part to the sale of Ohio Valley's interest in ProCentury), (2) set the aggregate amount available for bonuses under the Annual Results Bonus Program and (3) allocated the aggregate amount available for bonuses among the various pay grades.

Richard Mahan $2,000 Larry E. Miller $2,000 Katrinka V. Hart $2,000 Sue Ann Bostic $1,750 Based upon his pay grade, Jeffrey E. Smith, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Ohio Valley, should have received a bonus of approximately $2,000. However, the Compensation and Management Succession Committee exercised its discretion and recommended to the Board of Directors that Mr. Smith receive a $12,000 bonus under the Annual Results Bonus Program. Ohio Valley's Board of Directors accepted the recommendation of the Compensation and Management Succession Committee and awarded the $12,000 bonus to Mr. Smith. All bonuses under the Annual Results Bonus Program were paid in December 2004 in cash in a single lump sum after deduction of payroll taxes and tax withholdings.
