ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

                         General Description of Business

  Ohio Valley Banc Corp (the Registrant),  was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio on January 8, 1992.  The  Registrant is  registered  under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHC Act). A substantial portion of
the Registrant's  revenue is derived from cash dividends paid by The Ohio Valley
Bank Company, the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary (the Bank). The principal
executive offices of the Registrant are located at 420 Third Avenue, Gallipolis,
Ohio 45631.

  The Bank was organized on September 24, 1872, under the laws governing private
banking  in Ohio.  The Bank was  incorporated  in  accordance  with the  general
corporation laws governing savings and loan associations of the State of Ohio on
January 8, 1901.  The  Articles  of  Incorporation  of the Bank were  amended on
January  25,  1935,  for the  purpose  of  authorizing  the Bank to  transact  a
commercial savings bank and safe deposit business and again on January 26, 1950,
for the purpose of adding special plan banking.  The Bank was approved for trust
powers in 1980 with trust  services  first  being  offered  in 1981.  The Bank's
deposits are insured up to applicable  limits by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).

  The Registrant's  wholly-owned subsidiary,  Loan Central, Inc. (Loan Central),
was formed on February 1, 1996.  Loan  Central was  incorporated  under the Ohio
laws governing finance companies.

  The Registrant has a minority equity  interest in three  insurance  companies.
The first company,  ProFinance Holdings Corporation,  was acquired on October 5,
2000 and is engaged  primarily in property and  casualty  insurance.  The second
company,  Ohio Valley Financial Services,  was acquired on January 10, 2000 as a
joint  venture  with an  insurance  agency  and is  engaged  primarily  in life,
homeowner  and auto  insurance.  The  third  company,  BSG Title  Services,  was
acquired on February 28, 2001 and is engaged primarily in title services related
to real estate,  commercial and consumer loan customers.  All  investments  were
approved under the guidelines of the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.

  The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking.  Loan Central is engaged
in  consumer  finance.  Reference  is  hereby  made to Item 1 (E),  "Statistical
Disclosure" and Item 8 of this Form 10-K for financial information pertaining to
the Registrant's business through its subsidiaries.

                Description of Ohio Valley Banc Corp.'s Business

  The Registrant's business is incident to its 100% ownership of the outstanding
stock  of the  Bank  and Loan  Central.  The  Bank is a  full-service  financial
institution  offering a blend of  commercial,  retail and  agricultural  banking
services.  Loans of all  types  and  checking,  savings  and time  deposits  are
offered,  along with such services as safe deposit boxes, issuance of travelers'
checks and  administration of trusts.  Loan Central, a consumer finance company,
offers smaller  balance  consumer  loans to individuals  with higher credit risk
history.  In addition to originating loans, the Bank invests in U.S.  Government
and  agency   obligations,   interest-bearing   deposits   in  other   financial
institutions and other investments permitted by applicable law.


                                     Page 3

                               PART I (continued)

  Revenues from loans accounted for 82.18% in 2001, 82.50% in 2000 and 82.38% in
1999 of total  consolidated  revenues.  Revenues  from interest and dividends on
securities accounted for 8.09%, 9.63% and 10.36% of total consolidated  revenues
in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The Bank presently has seventeen offices,
all of which offer automatic teller machines.  Seven of these offices also offer
drive-up services.  The Bank accounted for substantially all of the Registrant's
consolidated assets at December 31, 2001.

  The banking  business is highly  competitive.  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, 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 becoming  increasingly  visible.  Loan  Central's  market  presence  further
strengthens  the  Registrant's  ability to compete in Gallia,  Jackson  and Pike
County  by  serving  a  consumer  base  which  may not  meet the  Bank's  credit
standards.  Loan Central also  operates in Lawrence  County which is outside the
Bank's primary market area. The principal  methods of competition  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 the Registrant 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 businesses and corporations which
are located  primarily  in  southeastern  Ohio.  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 as compared with consumer lending
- - i.e.,  single-family  residential  mortgage lending,  installment  lending and
credit card loans. In addition,  the payment  experience on commercial  loans is
typically  dependent  on  adequate  cash  flows  in order  to  evaluate  whether
anticipated  future  cash flows will be adequate to service  both  interest  and
principal due. Thus,  commercial loans may be subject,  to a greater extent,  to
adverse  conditions in the economy generally or adverse conditions in a specific
industry.

  The Registrant's  subsidiaries make installment  credit available to customers
and prospective  customers in their primary market area of southeastern Ohio and
portions of western West Virginia.  Credit  approval for consumer loans requires
demonstration  of  sufficiency  of 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  subsidiaries  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 Registrant's subsidiaries 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 Registrant's subsidiaries review their respective
consumer  loan  portfolios  monthly to charge  off loans  which do not meet that
subsidiary's

                                     Page 4


                               PART I (continued)

standards.  Credit card accounts are  administered  in accordance  with the same
standards as 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 thus are more likely to be  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 that the loan amount with respect to  residential  real estate loans 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 fourth quarter of 2000,
the Bank began offering  secondary  market real estate loans to enhance customer
service and loan pricing.  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.

  Beginning  in  December  1996,  the  Bank  began a phase of  SuperBank  branch
openings  with the  objective  of further  enhancing  customer  service  through
extended  hours and  convenience  as well as  expanding  the new market  area of
western West Virginia.  From 1996 to 2001,  the Bank has opened eight  SuperBank
facilities within  supermarkets and Wal-Mart stores.  These new branches service
the market areas of Gallia, Jackson, Meigs and Lawrence counties in Ohio as well
as the growing Kanawha and Cabell counties in West Virginia.

  The   Registrant   acquired   Jackson   Savings   Bank   (Jackson),   an  Ohio
state-chartered  savings  bank,  in  December  1998.  Jackson  then  merged  its
operations  into the Bank on November  11, 2000 with  management's  objective of
improving  operational  efficiencies.  The  Registrant  also continued to pursue
other  ventures that took  advantage of newly  enacted  federal  legislation  to
create new products and services.

  With the advent of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act, the Registrant participated as
an investor in the acquisition of ProFinance  Holdings  Corporation,  a property
and casualty insurance  underwriter and reinsurance company. The acquisition was
made possible by combining the resources of five financial holding companies,  a
private  equity  firm  and a group  of  insurance  executives  to  purchase  the
insurance  company on October 5, 2000.  In  addition,  the  Registrant  formed a
minority-owned   subsidiary   called  Ohio  Valley  Financial   Services.   This
investment,  which  opened for business on January 2, 2001,  is a joint  venture
insurance agency with an existing  insurance  agency (The Wiseman Agency,  Inc.)
that is  located  in  Jackson,  Ohio.  Ohio  Valley  Financial  Services  offers
customers  life,  homeowners  and auto  insurance.  Furthermore,  the Registrant
participated  as an investor with two other banks to acquire BSG Title Services,
a title  insurance  agency which opened for business on March 2, 2001. BSG Title
Services  offers title  insurance to real estate,  commercial  and consumer loan
customers.

                           Supervision and Regulation

  The following is a summary of certain  statutes and regulations  affecting the
Registrant  and the Bank.  The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to such statutes and regulations.

  The Registrant is subject to regulation under 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").  Subsidiary banks of a
bank holding company are subject to certain  restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on transactions  with affiliates,  including any loans or extensions
of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, investments in
the stock or other securities thereof and the taking of such stock securities as
collateral  for loans or extensions  of credit to any borrower;  the issuance of
guarantees,  acceptances  or  letters  of credit  on behalf of the bank  holding
company and its subsidiaries;  purchases or sales of securities or other assets;
and the payment of money or furnishing  of services to the bank holding  company
and  other  subsidiaries.  A bank  holding  company  and  its  subsidiaries  are
prohibited  from  engaging in certain  tying  arrangements  in  connection  with
extensions  of credit  and/or the  provision of other  property or services to a
customer by the bank holding company or its subsidiaries.

  In  November  of  1999,   the   Gramm-Leach-Bliley,   or  Financial   Services
Modernization  Act was  enacted,  amending  the BHC  Act,  modernizing  the laws
governing the financial services  industry.  This Act authorized the creation of
financial  holding  companies,  a new type of bank  holding  company with powers
exceeding those of traditional bank holding  companies.  The Registrant 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
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 SEC and state insurance  regulators.  The  Gramm-Leach-Bliley
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.











                                     Page 6


                               PART I (continued)

  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  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.

  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  also  closes the unitary  thrift  loophole  which  permits
commercial  companies to own and operate thrifts,  reforms the Federal Home Loan
Bank System to  significantly  increase  community banks' access to loan funding
and  protects  banks  from  discriminatory  state  insurance   regulation.   The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act  also  includes  new  provisions  in the  privacy  area,
restricting the ability of financial  institutions  to share nonpublic  personal
customer information with third parties.

  As an Ohio  state-chartered  bank, the Bank is supervised and regulated by the
Ohio Division of Financial  Institutions.  The Bank's deposits are insured up to
applicable  limits by the FDIC and are subject to the  applicable  provisions of
the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act. In  addition,  the holding  company of any
insured  financial  institution  that  submits a capital  plan under the federal
banking  agencies'  regulations on prompt corrective action guarantees a portion
of the  institution's  capital  shortfall,  as discussed below.  Loan Central is
supervised  and  regulated by the State of Ohio  Department  of  Insurance.  The
Registrant's  insurance company  investments,  ProFinance Holdings  Corporation,
Ohio Valley  Financial  Services and BSG Title  Services are all  supervised and
regulated by the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.

  Various  requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and
the State of Ohio affect the  operations of the Bank including  requirements  to
maintain  reserves  against  deposits,  restrictions on the nature and amount of
loans  which  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.
Since June 1997, pursuant to federal  legislation,  the Bank has been authorized
to branch  across  state lines,  unless the law of the other state  specifically
prohibits the interstate branching authority granted by federal law.

  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  stockholders'
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,  among other  things,  of  mandatory  convertible  debt
securities,  a limited amount of subordinated  debt, other preferred stock 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.  State non-member banks, such as the Bank, are
subject to similar capital  requirements adopted by the FDIC. The Registrant and
the Bank currently satisfy all applicable capital requirements.

  The  Registrant  and the Bank  currently  satisfy  all  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.

  The 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.

  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 which may be declared by its subsidiary banks and other  subsidiaries.
However,  the Federal  Reserve Board expects the Registrant 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 the
Registrant.  The Bank may not pay dividends to the  Registrant  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  the  Registrant's  ability to pay  dividends on its
outstanding common shares.

                          Deposit Insurance Assessments

  The FDIC is  authorized  to establish  separate  annual  assessment  rates for
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 increase 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 based on the risk the  institution  poses to its
deposit  insurance fund. The risk level is determined based on the institution's
capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

  Because BIF became fully funded,  BIF assessments for healthy commercial banks
were  reduced to $0 per year during  2001.  Federal  legislation,  which  became
effective  September 30, 1996,  provides,  among other things,  for the costs of
prior thrift  failures to be shared by both the SAIF and the BIF. As a result of
such cost sharing,  BIF assessments for healthy banks during 2002 will be $0.020
per $100 in  deposits.  Based upon their level of deposits at December 31, 2001,
the projected BIF assessment for the Bank would be $82,967 for 2002.

                     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.  The  monetary  policies  of the  Federal  Reserve  Board  have  had a
significant  effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to have significant  effects in the future. In view of the changing
conditions  in the economy and the money market and the  activities  of monetary
and  fiscal  authorities,  no  definitive  predictions  can be made as to future
changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit levels.

                                Other Information

  Management  anticipates  no material  effect  upon the  capital  expenditures,
earnings and  competitive  position of the Registrant or its  subsidiaries,  the
Bank and Loan  Central,  by  reason of any laws  regulating  or  protecting  the
environment.  The  Registrant  believes that the nature of the operations of the
subsidiaries  has  little,  if  any,   environmental   impact.  The  Registrant,
therefore,  anticipates  no  material  capital  expenditures  for  environmental
control facilities in its current fiscal year or for

                               PART I (continued)

the  foreseeable  future.  The  subsidiaries  may be  required  to make  capital
expenditures  related to properties  which they may acquire through  foreclosure
proceedings in the future; however, the amount of such capital expenditures,  if
any, is not currently determinable.  Neither the Registrant nor its subsidiaries
have any material patents, trademarks,  licenses,  franchises or concessions. No
material  amounts have been spent on research  activities  and no employees  are
engaged  full-time  in  research  activities.  As  of  December  31,  2001,  the
Registrant and its  subsidiaries  employed 249 full-time  equivalent  employees.
Management considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

  Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

  The  Registrant's  subsidiaries  do not have any offices  located in a foreign
country  and they have no foreign  assets,  liabilities,  or related  income and

MISSION BRIEFING
by CEO/President Jeff Smith & Chairman Jim Dailey

Dear Shareholder:

2001 was a year of extremes: extreme pleasure as your company achieved its ninth
consecutive year of record earnings;  extreme pain as we experienced the attacks
on the World Trade Center.

We were  extremely  proud of the 249  employees  who were  responsible  for $4.9
million in net income, an increase of 11.3%; and earnings per share of $1.41, an
increase of 12.8%. These employees  supported the origination of more than 7,000
loans to  individuals  and businesses as well as opening more than 8,000 deposit
accounts.  We were extremely  perplexed as our nation's  economy  slipped into a
recession for the first time in nearly a decade.

We were extremely  encouraged by the Federal Reserve's decisive actions in early
January to stimulate the delining US economy.  We were extremely  discouraged by
the events surrounding the Enron debacle, the largest corporate bankruptcy in US
history.

Yet,  regardless  of the extremes of 2001,  your company paid a special  FREEDOM
dividend of $.16 per share on December 31. This 2001 Annual  Report is a tribute
to the  customers,  employees  and  shareholders  for whom the companies of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp.  open their doors every day. This Annual Report  documents the
progress over a calendar year of an organization with 21 offices in 10 countries
and 2 states. This Annual Report memorializes the women and men whose discipline
and  dedication  achieved  this success,  including  three new directors of Ohio
Valley Bank Co.: Anna Barnitz,  Barney  Molnar and Brent  Saunders.  This Annual
Report is also a tribute to the FREEDOMS still standing in America.  Ohio Valley
Banc Corp., like America, is still open for business.

Sincerely,



Jeffrey E. Smith
CEO & President



James L. Dailey
Chairman of the Board

                  See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements



Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are in thousands, except per share data.

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts  of the Ohio  Valley  Banc Corp.  (the  Company)  and its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the Bank), Loan Central, a consumer
finance company and Ohio Valley  Statutory Trust I, a special purpose  financing
entity.   All  material   intercompany   accounts  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated.

Industry Segment  Information:  The Company is primarily engaged in the business
of commercial and retail banking and trust services,  with operations  conducted
through 21 offices located in central and  southeastern  Ohio as well as western
West Virginia.  These  communities  are the source of  substantially  all of the
Company's deposit, loan and trust services. The majority of the Company's income
is derived from commercial and retail business  lending  activities.  Management
considers the Company to operate in one segment, banking.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:  The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United  States of  America  requires  management  to make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements,  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ from those  estimates.  Areas
involving  the use of  management's  estimates  and  assumptions  that  are more
susceptible  to change in the near term involve the  allowance  for loan losses,
the fair value of certain  securities,  the fair value of financial  instruments
and the determination and carrying value of impaired loans.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents:  Cash and  cash  equivalents  include  cash on hand,
noninterest-bearing  deposits  with banks and  federal  funds  sold.  Generally,
federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day  periods.  The Company  reports
net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions,  short-term
borrowings and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.

Securities:   The  Company  classifies   securities  into  held-to-maturity  and
available-for-sale  categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported
at  amortized  cost.  Securities   classified  as   available-for-sale   include
marketable  equity  securities and other  securities that management  intends to
sell or that  could be sold for  liquidity,  investment  management  or  similar
reasons   even  if  there  is  not  a   present   intention   of  such  a  sale.
Available-for-sale  securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
or  losses  included  as a  separate  component  of  equity,  net of tax.  Other
securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost.
         Premium  amortization is deducted from, and discount accretion is added
to, interest income on securities using the level yield method. Gains and losses
are recognized upon the sale of specific identified  securities on the completed
transaction  basis.  Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in
fair value is not temporary.

Loans: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding,  net of unearned
interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.
         Interest  income  is  reported  on the  interest  method  and  includes
amortization  of net deferred  loan fees and costs over the loan term.  Interest
income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt,  typically when the
loan is  impaired or payments  are past due over 90 days.  Payments  received on
such loans are reported as principal reductions.

Allowance  for Loan  Losses:  Because  some loans may not be repaid in full,  an
allowance  for loan losses is recorded.  Increases to the allowance are recorded
by a provision for loan losses  charged to expense.  Estimating the risk of loss
and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.  Accordingly,  the
allowance is maintained by  management at a level  considered  adequate to cover
losses  that  are  probable  based on past  loss  experience,  general  economic
conditions,  information  about specific  borrower  situations,  including their
financial  position and collateral  value, and other factors and estimates which
are subject to change over time.  While  management  may  periodically  allocate
portions of the allowance for specific problem situations,  the entire allowance
is available for any charge-offs that occur. A loan is charged off by management
as a loss when deemed  uncollectable,  although  collection efforts continue and
future recoveries may occur.
         Loans are considered  impaired if full  principal or interest  payments
are not anticipated. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value
of the  collateral  if the  loan  is  collateral  dependent.  A  portion  of the
allowance  for loan  losses is  allocated  to  impaired  loans.  Smaller-balance
homogeneous  loans are  evaluated for  impairment  in total.  Such loans include
residential  first  mortgage  loans secured by  one-to-four  family  residences,
residential  construction  loans,  credit card and  automobile,  home equity and
second  mortgage  loans.  Commercial  loans and mortgage  loans secured by other
properties are evaluated individually for impairment.  When analysis of borrower
operating results and financial  condition  indicates that underlying cash flows
of  the  borrower's   business  are  not  adequate  to  meet  its  debt  service
requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Loans are generally moved to
nonaccrual  status  when 90 days or more past due.  These  loans are often  also
considered  impaired.  Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when
deemed  uncollectable.  This typically  occurs when the loan is 120 or more days
past due.



Concentrations of Credit Risk:
         The Company, through its subsidiaries, grants residential, consumer and
commercial loans to customers  located  primarily in the  southeastern  Ohio and
western West Virginia areas.

The following represents the composition of the loan portfolio at December 31,
2001:

                                                           % of Total Loans
                                                           ----------------

      Real Estate loans ............................             44.47%
      Commercial and industrial loans...............             34.04%
      Consumer loans ...............................             21.32%
      All other loans ..............................               .17%
                                                                -------
                                                                100.00%
                                                                =======

Approximately 4.81% of total loans are unsecured.

         The Bank, in the normal  course of its  operations,  conducts  business
with correspondent financial  institutions.  Balances in correspondent accounts,
investments  in federal  funds,  certificates  of deposit  and other  short-term
securities  are closely  monitored to ensure that  prudent  levels of credit and
liquidity  risks are  maintained.  At  December  31,  2001,  the Bank's  primary
correspondent  balances were $9,000 in Federal funds sold at National City Bank,
Cleveland,  Ohio and $6,879 on deposit at the Federal  Reserve Bank,  Cleveland,
Ohio.

Premises  and  Equipment:  Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less
accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed on the declining balance and
straight-line  methods over the  estimated  useful lives of the various  assets.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed and major improvements are capitalized.

Other Real Estate:  Real estate acquired through  foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure  is  included  in other  assets.  Such real estate is carried at the
lower of  investment  in the loan or estimated  fair value of the property  less
estimated  selling costs. Any reduction to fair value at the time of acquisition
is accounted for as a loan charge-off. Any subsequent reduction in fair value is
recorded as a loss on other  assets.  Costs  incurred to carry other real estate
are charged to expense.  Other real estate  owned  totaled  $289 at December 31,
2001 and $34 at December 31, 2000.  Transfers of loans to other real estate were
$443 in 2001 and $139 in 2000.  There were no  transfers  of loans to other real
estate in 1999.

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed
for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable
from future  undiscounted  cash flows.  If impaired,  the assets are recorded at
discounted amounts.

Repurchase  Agreements:   Substantially  all  repurchase  agreement  liabilities
represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover
these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Per Share  Amounts:  Earnings  per share is based on net  income  divided by the
following  weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  during the periods:
3,461,856 for 2001,  3,516,205 for 2000 and 3,530,203 for 1999.  The Company had
no dilutive securities outstanding for any period presented.

Income  Taxes:  Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due
or refundable  and the change in deferred tax assets and  liabilities.  Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences   between  the  carrying   amounts  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed,
reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Comprehensive  Income:  Comprehensive  income  consists  of net income and other
comprehensive  income.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and
losses on securities  available-for-sale  which are also  recognized as separate
components of equity.

Loss  Contingencies:  Loss  contingencies,  including  claims and legal  actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the
likelihood  of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have
a material effect on the financial statements.

Business  Combinations:  In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting Standings Board
(FASB)issued   Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  141
"Business Combinations".  SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations within
its scope to be  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method,  rather  than the
pooling-of-interests  method.  The provisions of this  statement  applied to all
business  combinations  initiated  after June 30,  2001.  The  adoption  of this
statement  would only impact the  Company's  financial  statements if it entered
into a business  combination.  As of  December  31,  2001,  the  Company had not
initiated any business combinations since June 30, 2001.

Goodwill:  In June 2001,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  142,  "Goodwill  and Other
Intangible Assets",  which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from
prior and future  business  combinations.  Upon the adoption of this  statement,
goodwill  arising from business  combinations  will no longer be amortized,  but
rather will be  assessed  regularly  for  impairment,  with any such  impairment
recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period identified. Other identified
intangible assets,  such as core deposit intangible assets,  will continue to be
amortized  over their  estimated  useful lives.  The Company will be required to
adopt this  statement on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement will no
materially impact the Company's financial statements.

Reclassifications:  The consolidated financial statements for 2000 and 1999 have
been   reclassified   to  conform   with  the   presentation   for  2001.   Such
reclassifications had no effect on the net results of operations.

NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

   The Bank is a party to financial  instruments with off-balance  sheet risk in
the normal  course of business  to meet the  financing  needs of its  customers.
These  financial  instruments  include  commitments  to extend  credit,  standby
letters of credit and financial  guarantees.  The Bank's exposure to credit loss
in the event of  nonperformance  by the other party to the financial  instrument
for  commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit,  and financial
guarantees   written,   is  represented  by  the  contractual  amount  of  those
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit  policies in making  commitments and
conditional  obligations  as it does for  instruments  recorded  on the  balance
sheet.

   Following is a summary of such commitments at December 31:

                                                2001        2000
                                                -----       -----

        Fixed rate                             $ 2,075     $   811
        Variable rate                           52,578      45,418

   Standby letters of credit                     9,659       5,906

   The interest  rate on fixed rate commitments  ranged from 7.125% to 17.90% at
December 31, 2001.

   Commitments to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend  to a customer as long
as  there  is no  violation  of  any  condition  established  in  the  contract.
Commitments  generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination  clauses
and may  require  payment of a fee.  Standby  letters of credit are  conditional
commitments  issued by the Bank to guarantee the  performance of a customer to a
third party.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total  commitment  amounts do not necessarily  represent  future
cash  requirements.  The bank evaluates each customer's  credit  worthiness on a
case-by-case  basis. The amount of collateral  obtained,  if deemed necessary by
the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of
the  counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts  receivable,
inventory,   property,  plant  and  equipment  and  income-producing  commercial
properties.
   There  are  various  contingent  liabilities  that are not  reflected  in the
financial statements,  including claims and legal action arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management,  after consultation with legal
counsel,  the ultimate  disposition  of these  matters is not expected to have a
material effect on financial condition or results of operations.
   The bank  subsidiary of the Company is required to maintain  average  reserve
balances  with the Federal  Reserve Bank or as cash in the vault.  The amount of
those reserve  balances for the year ended December 31, 2001, was  approximately
$7,084.


NOTE L - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Certain  directors,  executive  officers  and  companies  in  which  they are
affiliated  were loan  customers  during  2001.  A summary of  activity on these
borrower relationships with aggregate debt greater than $60 is as follows:

Total loans at January 1, 2001        $12,936
   New loans                            6,243
   Repayments                          (6,140)
   Other changes                           98
                                      -------
Total loans at December 31, 2001      $13,137
                                      =======

   Other changes include adjustment for loans applicable to one reporting period
that are  excludable  from the other  reporting  period.  In  addition,  certain
directors,  executive  officers and companies in which they are affiliated  were
recipients  of  promissory  notes issued by the parent  company in the amount of
$1,603.



NOTE M - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

   The Bank has a profit-sharing plan for the benefit of its employees and their
beneficiaries.  Contributions  to  the  plan  are  determined  by the  Board  of
Directors.  Contributions  charged to expense were $134, $146 and $131 for 2001,
2000 and 1999.
   The  Company  maintains  an Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan (ESOP)  covering
substantially   all  of  its   employees.   The  Company   makes   discretionary
contributions  to the plan which are  allocated  to plan  participants  based on
relative compensation. The total number of shares held by the Plan, all of which
have been allocated to participant accounts were 154,914 and 167,598 at December
31, 2001 and 2000. In addition, the Bank made contributions to its ESOP Trust as
follows:

                                      Years ended December 31
                                  2001         2000         1999

                                  =====        =====        =====

   Life  insurance contracts  with a cash  surrender  value of $12,089 have been
purchased  by the  Company,  the owner the of  policies.  The  purpose  of these
contracts  was to replace a current group life  insurance  program for executive
officers and implement a supplemental  retirement program. The cost of providing
the  benefits to the  participants  of the  supplemental  retirement  program is
expected to be offset by the earnings on the life insurance contracts.

NOTE N - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

   Other  comprehensive  income components and related taxes for the years ended
December 31, are as follow:


                                                  2001       2000       1999

NOTE O - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:

Cash and Short-term Investments: For short-term instruments, the carrying amount
is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities: For securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available.
If a quoted market price is not available,  fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for similar instruments.

Loans:  The fair value of fixed rate loans is  estimated by  discounting  future
cash flows  using the  current  rates at which  similar  loans  would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The
fair market value of commitments is not material at December 31, 2001 or 2000.

Deposit Liabilities:  The fair value of demand deposits,  savings accounts,  and
certain money market  deposits is the amount  payable on demand at the reporting
date.  The fair value of  fixed-maturity  certificates  of deposit is  estimated
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities  Sold Under  Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowed  Funds:  For
other  borrowed  funds,  rates  currently  available  to the Bank for debt  with
similar terms and  remaining  maturities  are used to estimate  fair value.  For
securities sold under  agreements to repurchase,  carrying value is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.

Accrued Interest  Receivable and Payable:  For accrued  interest  receivable and
payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

In  addition,  other  assets and  liabilities  that are not defined as financial
instruments  were not included in the  disclosures  below,  such as premises and
equipment and life insurance contracts.

   The estimated fair values of the Company's financial  instruments at December
31, are as follows:

                                             2001                  2000

   Accrued interest payable             (5,177)    (5,177)    (6,096)    (6,096)

   Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time,  based on relevant
market  information  and  information  about  the  financial  instrument.  These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the  Company's  entire  holdings of a particular  financial
instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's
financial  instruments,  fair value estimates are based on judgements  regarding
future   expected   loss   experience,   current   economic   conditions,   risk
characteristics  of various  financial  instruments , and other  factors.  These
estimates  are  subjective  in nature and involve  uncertainties  and matters of
significant judgement and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.



NOTE P - REGULATORY MATTERS

   The  Company  and  Bank  are  subject  to  regulatory  capital   requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective  action  regulations   involve   quantitative   measures  of  assets,
liabilities,  and certain  off-balance-sheet  items  calculated under regulatory
accounting  practices.  Capital amounts and  classifications are also subject to
qualitative  judgements by regulators about  components,  risk  weightings,  and
other factors,  and the regulators can lower  classifications  in certain cases.
Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that
could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

   The  prompt  corrective  action  regulations  provide  five  classifications,
including   well   capitalized,   adequately   capitalized,    undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized,  although these
terms are not used to  represent  overall  financial  condition.  If  adequately
capitalized,  regulatory  approval is required to accept brokered  deposits.  If
undercapitalized,  capital  distributions  are  limited,  as is asset growth and
expansion,   and  plans  for  capital  restoration  are  required.

At year-end,  consolidated  actual  capital  levels (in  thousands)  and minimum
required levels for the Company and Bank were:


                                                                                   Minimum Required

   The Company and Bank at year-end 2001 were  categorized as well  capitalized.
Management  is not aware of any event or  circumstances  subsequent  to year-end
that would change the Company's or Bank's capital structure.
   Dividends paid by the  subsidiaries are the primary source of funds available
to the Company for payment of dividends to  shareholders  and for other  working
capital needs.  The payment of dividends by the  subsidiaries  to the Company is
subject to restrictions by regulatory authorities.  These restrictions generally
limit  dividends  to the  current  and  prior two years  retained  earnings.  At
December 31, 2001, approximately $10,911 of the subsidiaries'  retained earnings
were  available  for  dividends  under  these  guidelines.  In addition to these
restrictions,  as a practical matter, dividend payments cannot reduce regulatory
capital levels below minimum  regulatory  guidelines.  These restrictions do not
presently limit the Company from paying dividends at its historical level.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ohio Valley Banc Corp.
Gallipolis, Ohio

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp., as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the  three  years  in the  period  ended  December  31,  2001.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

   We conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards  require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of Ohio Valley
Banc Corp.  as of December  31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its  operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,
2001, in conformity  with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United
States of America.

number of holders of common stock was 1,855 an increase from 1,839  shareholders
at December 31, 2000.

     On December 11, 2001, the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a special
cash  dividend of $.16 per share on the  outstanding  shares of Ohio Valley Banc
Corp stock  payable on December 31, 2001 to  shareholders  of record on December
21,  2001.  The special  dividend  was  approved in large part to help  increase
shareholder return and serve as a reinvestment back in the community.


                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

         The  purpose  of this  discussion  is to  provide  an  analysis  of the
Company's  financial  condition and results of operations which is not otherwise
apparent from the audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included in this
report. The accompanying consolidated financial information has been prepared by
management in conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United  States of America  (GAAP) and is  consistent  with that  reported in the
consolidated  statements.  Reference  should be made to those statements and the
selected financial data presented  elsewhere in this report for an understanding
of the following tables and related discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

SUMMARY
         Ohio Valley Banc Corp generated earnings of $4,895 for 2001 an increase
of 11.3%  from 2000.  Net  income  was up 2.5% in 2000.  Net income per share of
$1.41 for 2001  represented  continued  growth  from  $1.25 in 2000 and $1.22 in
1999.  Asset growth for 2001 was $73,341 or 13.1% which resulted in total assets
at year-end of $634,999.  The Company's return on assets (ROA) increased to .83%
for 2001 compared to 2000's ROA of .81%.  The Company's  2000 ROA  represented a
decrease  compared to 1999's ROA of .88%.  Return on equity (ROE) was 10.80% for
2001 compared to 10.29% for 2000 and 1999.  The average of the bid and ask price
for the  Company's  stock was $24.20 at December 31, 2001 compared to $25.375 at
year-end 2000 and $33.625 at year-end 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME
         The most  significant  portion of the Company's  revenue,  net interest
income,  results from properly  managing the spread between  interest  income on
earning  assets  and  interest  expense  on the  liabilities  used to fund those
assets.  Net interest  income is affected by changes in both the average  volume
and mix of the  balance  sheet and the  level of  interest  rates for  financial
instruments.  Changes in net interest income are measured by net interest margin
and net interest spread. Net interest margin is expressed as net interest income
divided  by  average   interest-earning  assets.  Net  interest  spread  is  the
difference between the average yield earned on  interest-earning  assets and the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Both of these are reported on
a taxable  equivalent  basis.  Net interest  margin is greater than net interest
spread  due to the  interest  earned  on  interest-earning  assets  funded  from
noninterest bearing funding sources, primarily demand deposits and stockholders'
equity.  Following  is a  discussion  of  changes  in  interest-earning  assets,
interest-bearing  liabilities  and the associated  impact on interest income and
interest  expense for the three years ending December 31, 2001.  Tables I and II
have been  prepared  to  summarize  the  significant  changes  outlined  in this
analysis.
         Net interest  income on a fully tax  equivalent  basis (FTE)  increased
$2,193 in 2001,  an increase of 10.21%  compared to the $21,487  earned in 2000.
This  increase was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in  interest-earning
assets as well as a decrease in funding costs resulting in a higher net interest
margin.  For 2000,  net interest  income  decreased  .27% compared to 1999.  The
decline in net  interest  income for 2000 was  attributable  to an  increase  in
funding costs which resulted in a lower net interest margin.
         For 2001,  average earning assets grew by 8.4% as compared to growth of
11.3% in 2000.  Driving  the growth in earning  assets was the growth in average
loan  balances.  Average  total  loans  expanded  $41,833  or 9.7% from 2000 and
represented  85.7% of earning  assets.  This  compares to average loan growth of
13.0%  for 2000 and  loans  representing  84.7% of  earning  assets.  Management
focuses on generating loan growth as this portion of earning assets provides the
greatest return to the Company.  Although loans comprise a larger  percentage of
earning assets,  management is comfortable with the current level of loans based
on  collateral  values,  the  balance of the  allowance  for loan losses and the
Company's  well-capitalized  status.  Average securities  declined from 15.9% of
earning assets for 1999 to 12.6% in 2001.  Management  maintains securities at a
dollar level  adequate  enough to provide  ample  liquidity  and cover  pledging
requirements.
         Average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased 8.7% between 2000 and
2001 and increased  12.9%  between 1999 and 2000.  Although the  composition  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  consists  mostly  of time  deposits,  which  have
increased from 53.6% of  interest-bearing  liabilities in 1999 to 54.4% in 2001,
most of the  emphasis  has  shifted to other  borrowed  funds and NOW  accounts.
Borrowed funds have increased from 12.8% of interest-bearing liabilities in 1999
to 15.4% in 2001. The use of borrowed funds,  particularly FHLB borrowings,  has
been a cost-effective funding source for the Company's positive loan growth. The
average  cost of  borrowed  funds for 2001 is 5.81%  compared  to time  deposits
average  cost of  5.93%.  Management  has  also  been  effective  in  generating
additional  deposits  through NOW accounts,  which have  increased from 16.7% of
interest-bearing liabilities in 1999 to 18.2% in 2001. NOW account balances were
influenced  by the growth in the Company's  Gold Club product and  maintained an
average cost that was less than traditional time deposits.
         The net interest  margin  increased .07% to 4.28% in 2001 from 4.21% in
2000.  This is compared to a .49%  decrease in the net interest  margin in 2000.
Contributing  to the increase in net interest margin in 2001 was the increase in
the net interest spread of .13%. The decrease in yield on earning assets of .27%
was  completely  offset  by the  larger  decrease  in  funding  costs  of  .40%.
Contributing  to the  decline in yield on earning  assets was a decrease  in the
return on average loans of .23% from 2000 combined with higher average  balances



in loans.  Total interest  expense was limited to a minimal increase in relation
to the cost of borrowings  decreasing  .19% and time deposits  decreasing  .10%,
largely  due  to  the  interest  rate  decreases  that  were  evident  in  2001.
Additionally,  the cost of NOW accounts  decreased 1.34%. The impact of interest
free funds on the net  interest  margin  decreased  from .67% in 2000 to .61% in
2001.  The .06% decrease in the  contribution  of interest free funding  sources
combined  with the .13%  increase in the net  interest  spread  yielded the .07%
increase in the net interest  margin.  The 2000 decrease in net interest  margin
was due to a .51% decrease in net interest spread with increases in asset yields
of .12% being  completely  offset by  increases  in funding  costs of .63%.  The
decrease  in net  interest  spread  was  partially  offset by an  increase  from
interest free funding sources of .02%.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
         Total noninterest income increased $1,271 a 32.9% gain over 2000. Total
noninterest income,  excluding  securities gains and losses,  increased 37.1% in
2000.  Driving the Company's  growth in  noninterest  income was the increase in
service charge income on deposit  accounts which was up $987 in 2001 and $779 in
2000,  impacted by the implementation of new products and services in the fourth
quarter of 2000 as well as growth in transaction  account  balances.  Management
does not  anticipate the increases in service charge income to be as significant
in 2002 as compared to 2001. Income earned on life insurance  contracts from the
Company's  supplemental  retirement program was up $114 in 2001 and $75 in 2000.
Other operating income increased $165 over 2000 driven by the Company's minority
investments in insurance  subsidiaries  ProFinance Holdings  Corporation and BSG
Title Services Agency,  LLC which contributed $206 in 2001 as compared to $42 in
2000. Additionally, other operating income increased $197 over 1999 due to gains
in fee income from debit and credit card  transactions,  commissions earned from
loan insurance sales and loan service fees.
         Total noninterest  expense increased $1,193 or 7.0% in 2001 and $918 or
5.7% in 2000.  The most  significant  expense  in this  category  is salary  and
employee  benefits which increased $515 or 5.5% from 2000 to 2001.  Contributing
most to this  increase  were annual merit  increases,  rising  benefit costs and
increases to incentive  compensation  plans in relation to the successful growth
in  earnings  experienced  in  2001.  An  increase  in the  Company's  full-time
equivalent  employee base from 237 at year-end 2000 to 249 at year-end 2001 also
contributed to the growth in salary and employee benefit expense.  The Company's
efficiency  ratio  improved  over last year as a result of the growth in revenue
sources (net interest  income and  noninterest  income)  outpacing the growth in
noninterest  expense. The efficiency ratio for 2001 improved to 62.5% from 66.3%
in 2000. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased only $110 or 1.2% from
1999 to 2000  largely  due to a decrease in the number of  full-time  equivalent
employees  as  well  as  the  increased   emphasis  on   reallocating   employee
responsibilities as opposed to hiring new individuals.  The growth in additional
offices and fixed assets experienced in 1999 and 2000 has been stable throughout
2001. This has provided for the decrease in occupancy  expense and furniture and
equipment  expense,   which  were  collectively  down  $194  or  7.5%  in  2001.
Corporation franchise tax increased $202 from 2000 to 2001 due to capital growth
at the Bank level.  Data processing as well as other  operating  expense were up
$16 and  $654  over  2000 due to new  computer  software  depreciation,  general
increases in overhead  expenses  related to continuing  growth and  inflationary
increases.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

SECURITIES
         Management's goal in structuring the portfolio is to maintain a prudent
level  of  liquidity  while  providing  an  acceptable  rate of  return  without
sacrificing  asset  quality.  Maturing  securities  have  historically  provided
sufficient  liquidity  such  that  management  has not sold a debt  security  in
several years.
         The balance of total securities  remained relatively stable compared to
year-end 2000 but the ratio of  securities to total assets  declined to 11.9% at
December 31, 2001 compared to 13.5% at December 31, 2000. The Company's demand



for  securities  declined  in  2001  largely  due to the  decline  in  yield  on
reinvestment opportunities.  The portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government
agency  bonds  which  comprise  70%  of  total  securities.  As  a  result,  the
portfolio's  exposure to credit risk is minimal.  The weighted average FTE yield
on debt  securities  at year-end 2001 was 5.60% as compared to 6.54% at year-end
2000.  Table III provides a summary of the  portfolio by category and  remaining
contractual  maturity.  Issues  classified as equity  securities  have no stated
maturity date and are not included in Table III.

LOANS
         In 2001, total loans increased $60,357 or 13.5% to reach $508,660.  The
largest  contributor was commercial loans which experienced growth of $33,328 or
23.8%.  The commercial loan area  originated  nearly $113,000 in loans for 2001.
Approximately  78% of these loans were originated in Gallia,  Jackson,  Pike and
Franklin counties and 14% were originated from the West Virginia  markets.  Like
many financial  institutions,  the Company's commercial loan growth was impacted
by lower interest rates  experienced  during 2001. This favorable  interest rate
environment as well as the success  experienced  in the Company's  newer markets
such as West Virginia  contributed to a higher volume of business  opportunities
that drove commercial loan growth.  In 2001, real estate loans grew $16,488,  an
increase over the growth of $8,099 generated in 2000. As with commercial  loans,
the  Company's  real estate  growth was also  impacted by lower  interest  rates
experienced during 2001 which prompted significant increases in loan refinancing
opportunities.  With the Company's expansion into new markets, approximately two
thirds of real  estate  originations  occurred  outside  of Gallia  county.  The
Company  generally  originates real estate loans for its own portfolio,  as very
few loans are sold on the secondary  market.  In 2000,  the Bank began  offering
secondary market loans to further enhance its customer service and loan pricing.
Consumer  loans  expanded  by $10,424  representing  a 10.6%  gain.  The largest
portion of consumer loans were originated  through indirect  lending,  primarily
from area automobile  dealers,  and are subject to the same  underwriting as our
regular loans. At December 31, 2001, indirect loan balances represented over one



third of total  consumer  loans.  Tables V, VI,  and VII have been  provided  to
enhance the  understanding of the loan portfolio and the allowance for potential
loan losses.  Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses
quarterly  based on several  factors  including,  but not  limited  to,  general
economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan loss experience, and
management's  estimate of probable losses.  Actual losses on loans are reflected
as reductions in the reserve and are referred to as  charge-offs.  The amount of
the  provision  for loan  losses  charged to  operating  expenses  is the amount
necessary, in management's opinion, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at
an  adequate  level.  The  allowance  required  is  primarily  a function of the
relative  quality  of the loans in the loan  portfolio,  the mix of loans in the
portfolio and the rate of growth of outstanding loans.
         The ratio of net  charge-offs  to average  total loans at December  31,
2001  was .56% up over  .36% at  December  31,  2000 due  mostly  to the  $1,077
increase in net  charge-offs,  particularly  within the consumer and  commercial
loan  portfolio.  This  increase  in net  charge-offs  was a result of  stronger
emphasis  being placed on improving the asset quality  within the Company's loan
portfolio.  Nonperforming  loans,  which include  nonaccrual  loans and accruing
loans past due 90 days or more, are returned to performing  status when the loan
is brought  current and has  performed in  accordance  with  contractual  terms.
Nonperforming  loans  were  approximately  $6,310 or 1.24% of  outstanding  loan
balances at December 31, 2001  compared to $6,639 or 1.48% of  outstanding  loan
balances at the end of 2000.
         For 2001,  provision expense was up by $1,613 compared to the provision
expense for 2000. This increase in provision expense was largely associated with
the increases in net  charge-offs as a percent of average total loans as well as
the growth in commercial  loans which generally  require a higher  allocation of
the allowance for loan losses based on the risks associated with this loan type.
At December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6,251,  or 1.23% of
total  loans,  up $866 from  December 31, 2000 when the  allowance  was 1.20% of
total loans.  Management  increased the allowance as a percent of total loans in
2001 based on a general  decline  in  economic  conditions  and feels that it is
adequate to absorb probable  losses in the portfolio based on collateral  values
as well as a high  relative  volume of real estate  mortgages.  Management  will
continue to monitor the  allowance for loan losses and make changes as necessary
to maintain  adequate  levels  relative to the ongoing  status of  nonperforming
loans.

DEPOSITS
         Interest-earning  assets are funded  primarily  by core  deposits.  The
accompanying table IV shows the composition of total deposits as of December 31,
2001.  Total  deposits grew $23,490 or 5.4% to reach  $455,861 by year-end 2001.
Leading the growth in deposits were savings and interest-bearing demand deposits
which increased by $14,835 or 13.8%.  The Company's Gold Club product,  offering
customers a NOW account with other banking benefits, generated over one third of
the overall growth in total deposits.  Furthermore,  non-interest bearing demand
deposits increased $9,074 or 19.0% during 2001. The growth within these segments
of the deposit  portfolio  was offset by a decline in time deposits of $1,083 or
 .4%,  particularly  jumbo  certificates of deposit.  Decreases in interest rates
throughout 2001 caused management to be less aggressive in its pricing of the CD
portfolio and shifted its loan funding efforts from  traditional  retail sources
to less costly sources of funds (i.e.  Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings).  With
the expansion in new markets, management expects continued growth in deposits in
2002.



FUNDS BORROWED
         During  2001,  the  Company  considered  borrowed  funds  as one of its
primary  funding  sources as these balances grew to $90,856 at December 31, 2001
compared to $53,622 at December 31, 2000. Other funds borrowed consist primarily
of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)  advances,  securities sold under agreements to
repurchase,  and  promissory  notes.  FHLB  advances  are subject to  collateral
agreements  and are secured by qualifying  first  mortgage loans and FHLB stock.
Management  was able to utilize FHLB  advances to fund  long-term  assets and to
fund  short-term  liquidity  needs due to the lower interest  rates  experienced
throughout 2001 and the ability to borrow for longer time periods as compared to
traditional retail sources.  Based on historical low interest rates,  Management
was able to extend the average  term of its funding  sources to protect  against
rising  interest  rates.  At December  31,  2001,  the balance of FHLB  advances
totaled  $81,564  compared  to $44,753 at December  31,  2000.  Management  will
continue to evaluate  borrowings from the FHLB as an alternative  funding source
in 2002.  Promissory  notes are primarily  associated with funding loans at Loan
Central and were issued with terms of one year or less.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
         The  Company   maintains  a  capital  level  that  exceeds   regulatory
requirements  as a  margin  of  safety  for  its  depositors  and  shareholders.
Shareholders'  equity totaled $46,300 at December 31, 2001,  compared to $44,492
at December 31, 2000, which represents growth of 4.1%. All of the capital ratios
exceeded the regulatory  minimum  guidelines as identified in Note P "Regulatory
Matters".
         Cash dividends paid of $2,733 for 2001 represents a 31.8% increase over
the cash  dividends  paid during 2000.  The increase in cash  dividends  paid is
largely due to the special "freedom" dividend paid in the fourth quarter of $.16
per share  which  increased  the  number of  dividend  distributions  to five as
compared to four dividend  distributions in 2000.  Management deemed the special
dividend  necessary to increase  shareholder  return and contribute  back to the
community  in light of the tragic  events  that  impacted  the  economy in 2001.
Additionally,  the  increase  in cash  dividends  for  2001 was  impacted  by an
increase in the dividend rate paid per share.
         The Company maintains a dividend  reinvestment and stock purchase plan.
The plan allows  shareholders to purchase  additional shares of company stock. A
benefit of the plan is to permit the  shareholders to reinvest cash dividends as
well as make  supplemental  purchases  without  the usual  payment of  brokerage
commissions.  During 2001,  the Company  issued 19,480 shares under the dividend
reinvestment and stock purchase plan. At December 31, 2001, approximately 74% of
the shareholders were enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan. Members of the
plan invested $466 in 2001 which represents 17% of year-to-date  dividends paid.
As part of the  Company's  stock  repurchase  program,  management  was  able to
utilize the proceeds from  reinvested  dividends and voluntary  cash to purchase
shares on the open market and  redistribute  those  shares  through the dividend
reinvestment  plan without the need for the issuance of common stock.  The stock
repurchase  program  limits  the  purchase  of shares to 5% of the total  shares
outstanding.  At December 31, 2001, the Company had over 42,400 shares available
to purchase.  In addition,  the Company's  Board of Directors  recently voted to
extend the maturity date of the stock repurchase program to February 10, 2003.




LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
         The  Company's  goal for interest  rate  sensitivity  management  is to
maintain a balance  between  steady  net  interest  income  growth and the risks
associated  with interest rate  fluctuations.  Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the
exposure of the Company's  financial  condition to adverse movements in interest
rates.  Accepting  this risk can be an important  source of  profitability,  but
excessive levels of IRR can threaten the Company's  earnings and capital.  It is
management's  policy  not to  position  the  balance  sheet so as to expose  the
Company  to levels  of  interest  rate risk  which  could  significantly  impair
earnings performance or endanger capital.
         The  Company's  asset  and  liability   committee   monitors  the  rate
sensitivity  of the balance sheet weekly through  parameters  established by the
Board of Directors. The committee uses an interest rate sensitivity gap analysis
prepared  quarterly  to  monitor  the  relationship  between  the  maturity  and
repricing  of its  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities.
Interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of
interest-earning  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities maturing or repricing
within a specified time period.  A gap position is considered  positive when the
amount of interest  sensitive  assets  exceeds the amount of interest  sensitive
liabilities,  and is  considered  negative  when the amount  interest  sensitive
liabilities exceeds the amount of interest sensitive assets. Generally, during a
period of rising  interest  rates,  a negative  gap would  adversely  affect net
interest  income,  while a  positive  gap  would  result in an  increase  in net
interest  income.  Conversely,  during a period of  falling  interest  rates,  a
negative  gap would  result  in an  increase  in net  interest  income,  while a
positive gap would negatively affect net interest income.  This analysis assumes
that  interest  rate changes for  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities are of the same magnitude and velocity, whereas actual interest rate
changes generally differ in magnitude and velocity.  Based on the gap model, the
Company  was  liability  sensitive  in the short  term and asset  sensitive  for
periods over five years.
         The  Company's  exposure to  interest  rate risk is  primarily  managed
through  the   selection   of  the  type  and   repricing   characteristics   of
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing   liabilities.   Management  can
influence  the  Company's  gap  position  by  offering  fixed or  variable  rate
products, by changing the terms of new loans,  investments and time deposits, or
by selling  existing  assets or  repaying  certain  liabilities.  The  Company's
ability to manage its gap position  can be  challenged  by customer  preferences
which  may  not  meet  the  Company's   goals.   The  FHLB  assists  in  funding
interest-earning   assets  by  providing   advances   with   similar   repricing
characteristics as many of the loans offered by the Company.
         Table VIII provides  information  about the Company's  interest-bearing
financial  instruments.  The table  presents  information  strictly  by expected
maturity  date without  regard for repricing  dates for variable rate  products.
Noninterest-bearing  checking  deposits  assume an annual  decay rate of 14% and
savings and  interest-bearing  checking  accounts assume an annual decay rate of
16% based on the  Company's  historical  experience.  A  fundamental  difference
between  the  table  and the gap model  previously  discussed  is that the table
presents financial intruments based on the date of expected cash flows while gap
analysis only focuses on repricing characteristics of financial instruments.
         Liquidity  management  should  focus on matching  the cash  inflows and
outflows within the Company's  natural market for loans and deposits.  This goal
is accomplished by maintaining sufficient asset liquidity along with stable core
deposits.  The primary sources of liquidity are  interest-bearing  balances with
banks,  federal  funds sold and the maturity and  repayment of  investments  and
loans as well as cash flows provided from operations. The Company has classified
$61,559 in  securities  as available for sale at December 31, 2001. In addition,
the  Federal  Home Loan Bank in  Cincinnati  offers  advances  to the Bank which
further enhances the Bank's ability to meet liquidity  demands.  At December 31,
2001,  the Bank could  borrow an  additional  $43,886 from the Federal Home Loan
Bank.  The Bank also has the ability to purchase  federal  funds from several of
its correspondent  banks.  Furthermore,  the Company  experienced an increase of
$11,719 in cash and cash  equivalents  for the twelve months ended  December 31,
2001.  See the  consolidated  statement  of cash  flows  for  further  cash flow
information.  Management  does not rely on any single  source of  liquidity  and
monitors the level of liquidity  based on many factors  affecting  the Company's
financial condition.

INFLATION
         Consolidated  financial  data  included  herein  has been  prepared  in
accordance with GAAP. Presently,  GAAP requires the Company to measure financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars with the exception
of securities  available for sale,  which are carried at fair value.  Changes in
the relative  value of money due to inflation or  deflation  are  generally  not
considered.
         In management's opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial
institution  to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation  rate.  While
interest rates are greatly  influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do
not  change at the same rate or in the same  magnitude  as the  inflation  rate.
Rather,  interest  rate  volatility  is based on changes in the expected rate of
inflation,  as well as monetary and fiscal policies.  A financial  institution's
ability to be  relatively  unaffected  by changes  in  interest  rates is a good
indicator of its capability to perform in today's volatile economic environment.
The Company seeks to insulate  itself from interest rate  volatility by ensuring
that rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive  liabilities respond to changes in
interest rates in a similar time frame and to a similar degree.

Fully taxable  equivalent yields are calculated  assuming a 34% tax rate, net of
nondeductible  interest  expense.  Average  balances  are computed on an average
daily basis. The average balance for available-for-sale  securities includes the
market  value  adjustment.  However,  the  calculated  yield  is  based  on  the
securities'  amortized cost.  Average loan balances include  nonaccruing  loans.
Loan income includes cash received on nonaccruing loans.

The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been  allocated to volume
and rate  changes in  proportion  to the  relationship  of the  absolute  dollar
amounts of the change in each. Fully taxable  equivalent yield assumes a 34% tax
rate, net of related nondeductible interest expense.

Tax equivalent  adjustments have been made in calculating  yields on obligations
of states and political  subdivisions using a 34% rate.  Weighted average yields
are  calculated on the basis of the cost and effective  yields  weighted for the
scheduled  maturity of each  security.  Mortgage-backed  securities,  which have
prepayment  provisions,  are assigned to a maturity  based on estimated  average
lives.  Securities are shown at their  carrying  values which include the market
value adustments for available-for-sale securities.

   Management  believes that the impaired loan disclosures are comparable to the
nonperforming  loan disclosures except that the impaired loan disclosures do not
include  single family  residential  or consumer loans which are analyzed in the
aggregate for loan impairment purposes.
   During 2001,  the Company did not recognize  any interest  income on impaired
loans.  Loans not included above that management feels have loss potential total
approximately  $300.  The  Company  has no  assets  which are  considered  to be
troubled debt restructurings.
   Management  formally  considers  placing  a loan on  nonaccrual  status  when
collection  of principal or interest has become  doubtful.  Furthermore,  a loan
should not be  returned  to the  accrual  status  unless  either all  delinquent
principal or interest has been brought  current or the loan becomes well secured
and is in the process of collection.
