NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. ("Ohio Valley") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Ohio
Valley Bank Company (the "Bank"), Loan Central, Inc. ("Loan Central"), a
consumer finance company, and Ohio Valley Financial Services Agency, LLC ("Ohio
Valley Financial Services"), an insurance agency. Ohio Valley and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company". All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These interim financial statements are prepared by the Company without audit and
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position
of the Company at March 31, 2006, and its results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ending
March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
anticipated for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary
financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (US GAAP) that might otherwise be necessary in the
circumstances. The Annual Report of the Company for the year ended December 31,
2005 contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should
be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform to US
GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses is particularly subject to
change.
The majority of the Company's income is derived from commercial and retail
lending activities. Management considers the Company to operate in one segment,
banking.
INCOME TAX
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.
CASH FLOW
For consolidated financial statement classification and cash flow reporting
purposes, 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.

STOCK SPLIT
On April 13, 2005, the Ohio Valley's Board of Directors declared a five-for-four
stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, on Ohio Valley's common
shares. Each shareholder of record on April 25, 2005, received an additional
common share for every four common shares then held. The common shares were
issued on May 10, 2005. The stock split was recorded by transferring from
retained earnings an amount equal to the stated value of the shares issued. The
Company retained the current par value of $1.00 per share for all common shares.
Earnings and cash dividends per share amounts in 2005 have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed based on net income divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average common shares outstanding were 4,248,551 and 4,288,574 for the three
months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Ohio Valley had no dilutive
securities outstanding for any period presented. The weighted average number of
shares outstanding in 2005 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect
of the stock split in 2005.
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 on loans is reported on an accrual basis using 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
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred
credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the
allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and
volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations
of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is
available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans
otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for
current factors.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for
impairment. 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. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are
collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately
identified for impairment disclosures.

different from cash basis income for the periods presented.
NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company, through its subsidiaries, grants residential, consumer, and
commercial loans to customers located primarily in the central and southeastern
areas of Ohio as well as the western counties of West Virginia. Approximately
2.92% of total loans were unsecured at March 31, 2006 as compared to 3.14% at
December 31, 2005.
The Company 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 primarily include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. The contract amounts of
these instruments are not included in the consolidated financial statements. At
March 31, 2006, the contract amounts of these instruments totaled approximately
$62,260 as compared to $66,594 at December 31, 2005. Since many of these
instruments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total contract
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
NOTE 5 - OTHER BORROWED FUNDS
Other borrowed funds at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are comprised of
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati, promissory notes
and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Notes.

Borrowings Notes Notes Totals
-------------------- ----------------- --------------- ----------------
March 31, 2006............... $ 70,982 $ 5,334 $ 339 $ 76,655
December 31, 2005............ $ 66,385 $ 5,113 $ 4,675 $ 76,173
Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by
$212,476 in qualifying mortgage loans and $5,778 in FHLB stock at March 31,
2006. Fixed rate FHLB advances of $61,282 mature through 2010 and have interest
rates ranging from 2.84% to 6.62%. In addition, variable rate FHLB borrowings of
$9,700 mature in 2006 and carried an interest rate of 4.88%.
At March 31, 2006, the Company had a cash management line of credit enabling it
to borrow up to $35,000 from the FHLB. All cash management advances have an
original maturity of 90 days. The line of credit must be renewed on an annual
basis. There was $25,300 available on this line of credit at March 31, 2006.
Based on the Company's current FHLB stock ownership, total assets and pledgeable
residential first mortgage loans, the Company had the ability to obtain
borrowings from the FHLB up to a maximum of $157,390 at March 31, 2006.
Promissory notes, issued primarily by Ohio Valley, have fixed rates of 4.00% to
6.25% and are due at various dates through a final maturity date of September
30, 2008. As of March 31, 2006, a total of $3,512 represented promissory notes
payable by Ohio Valley to related parties.
10
FRB notes consist of the collection of tax payments from Bank customers under
the Treasury Tax and Loan program. These funds have a variable interest rate and
are callable on demand by the U.S. Treasury. At March 31, 2006, the interest
rate for the Company's FRB notes was 4.47%. Various investment securities from
the Bank used to collateralize the FRB notes totaled $6,070 at March 31, 2006
and $6,070 at December 31, 2005.
Letters of credit issued on the Bank's behalf by the FHLB to collateralize
certain public unit deposits as required by law totaled $29,950 at March 31,
2006 and $27,950 at December 31, 2005.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this report constitute "forward looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Act of 1934 and as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are often, but not always,
identified by the use of such words as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and
similar expressions. Such statements involve various important assumptions,
risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control,
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
such forward looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to
the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of Ohio Valley's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and Ohio Valley's other
securities filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company

updated forward looking statements as a result of unanticipated future events.
Financial Overview
The Company is primarily engaged in commercial and retail banking, offering a
blend of commercial, consumer and agricultural banking services within central
and southeastern Ohio as well as western West Virginia. The banking services
offered by the Bank include the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings,
time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of personal,
commercial, floor plan and student loans; and the making of construction and
real estate loans. The Bank also offers individual retirement accounts, safe
deposit boxes, wire transfers and other standard banking products and services.
As part of its lending function, the Bank also offers credit card services. Loan
Central engages in consumer finance, offering smaller balance personal and
mortgage loans to individuals with higher credit
11
risk history. Loan Central's line of business also includes seasonal tax refund
loan services during the January through April periods. Ohio Valley Financial
Services sells life insurance.
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded net income of $1,739
representing an increase of 10.8% over the same period in 2005. Earnings per
share for the first quarter of 2006 finished at $.41, up 10.8% over the same
period in 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity both
improved to .94% and 11.93% for the first quarter of 2006, as compared to .88%
and 11.23% for the same period in 2005, respectively. The Company accomplished
these positive results by: 1) growing its average loan balances by $29,000 or
5.0% over the first quarter of 2005 to an all-time high of $624,267; 2)
maintaining stable levels of nonperforming assets which, as a percentage of
total assets, finished at .59% at March 31, 2006, an improvement from .62% at
March 31, 2005; and 3) increasing its emphasis on expense control which helped
to minimize overhead costs to just a 2.2% increase over the first quarter of
2005 while growing noninterest revenue by 4.5% for the same periods.
The Company continues to be positively impacted by the sustained rising rate
environment that began in 2004. Particularly, the Bank's comercial loan
portfolio has been significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate,
which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit. The prime
rate began March 31, 2005 at 5.75% and increased 50 basis points in each of the
four quarters since to finish at 7.75% at March 31, 2006. Furthermore, the
Company's loan balances have responded well during the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to December 31, 2005, growing $8,841 or 1.4%, primarily from
originations in commercial and participation loans. This increase is conversely
related to the same period in 2005 when the Company's loans were down $10,601 or
1.8% from December 31, 2004, in large part to lower loan demand combined with
increased payoffs. The rise in market rates combined with increases in average
interest-earning loan balances allowed for succesful growth in the Company's net
interest income of over 7.4% and improved Company-wide efficiency. The
efficiency ratio, which represents the cost to generate a dollar in revenue,
improved to 64.3% for the three months ending March 31, 2006, as compared to
67.3% for the same period in 2005, in large part to significant net interest
income growth as well as stable overhead expenses.
The consolidated total assets of the Company increased $6,739 or 0.9% during the
first quarter of 2006 to finish at $756,458 primarily due to increased loan
balances. Partially offsetting growth in loans was a $1,100 decrease in federal
funds sold and a $964 decrease in securities from year-end 2005. Loans were
primarily funded by an increase in the Company's total deposits which were up
$17,717 from year-end 2005. The excess funds available from the increases in
deposits were used to support the decline in the Company's securities sold under
agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements"), which decreased $12,889 from
year-end 2005.
The Company's Board of Directors approved a five-for-four stock split on April
13, 2005. The additional common shares resulting from the stock split were
distributed on May 10, 2005 to stockholders of record as of April 25, 2005.
References to 2005 share and per share data have been retroactively restated for
this stock split.
Comparison of
Financial Condition
at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005
-----------------------------------------
The following discussion focuses, in more detail, the consolidated financial
condition of the Company at March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. The
purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader a more thorough
understanding of the consolidated financial statements. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and
the footnotes included in this Form 10-Q.
12
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and balances due from
banks and federal funds sold. The amounts of cash and cash equivalents fluctuate
on a daily basis due to customer activity and liquidity needs. At March 31,
2006, cash and cash equivalents were down $2,044 or 10.4% to finish at $17,572
as compared to $19,616 at December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents declined
during the first quarter of 2006 because the Company used more cash to fund
increased loan volume. Management believes that the current balance of cash and
cash equivalents remains at a level that will meet cash obligations and provide
adequate liquidity. Further information regarding the Company's liquidity can be
found under the caption "Liquidity" in this Management's Discussion and
Analysis.
Securities
During the first quarter of 2006, investment securities decreased $964 or 1.1%
driven by a decrease in mortgage-backed securities of $1,875 or 3.9% as compared
to year-end 2005. Mortgage-backed securities provide increased cash flows due to
the more rapid (monthly) repayment of principal as compared to other types of
investment securities which deliver proceeds upon maturity or call date.
Principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities totaled $1,690 from January
1, 2006 and March 31, 2006. Mortgage-backed securities continue to make up the
largest portion of the Company's investment portfolio, totaling $46,355, or
59.9% of total investments at March 31, 2006. In addition, U.S. government
agency securities increased $859 or 4.7% as compared to year-end 2005. The
Company's focus in 2006 will be to generate interest revenue primarily though
loan growth due to higher asset yields. The Company will, however, continue to
invest excess funds in securities when opportunities arise.
Loans
During the first quarter of 2006, total loans, the Company's primary category of
earning assets, were up $8,841 or 1.4% from year-end 2005. Total loan growth was
led by commercial loans increasing $7,927 or 3.4% from year-end 2005. This
growth is consistent with the Company's continued emphasis on commercial lending
which generally yields a higher return on investment as compared to other types
of loans. Commercial loans during the first quarter of 2006 were primarily
driven by loan participations with other banks outside the Company's primary
market area, which increased $5,389 or 28.5%. The commercial loan portfolio,
including participation loans, consists primarily of rental property loans
(15.1% of portfolio), hotel and motel loans (11.6% of portfolio), medical
industry loans (9.2% of portfolio) and land development loans (8.4% of
portfolio). The primary market areas for the Company's commercial loans,
excluding loan participations, are in the areas of Gallia, Jackson and Franklin
counties in Ohio, which accounted for 80.7% of total originations during the
first quarter of 2006 and the growing West Virginia markets, which accounted for
12.6% of total originations for the same time period. While management believes
lending opportunities exist in the Company's markets, future commercial lending
activities will depend upon economic and related conditions, such as general
demand for loans in the Company's primary markets, interest rates offered by the
Company and normal underwriting considerations. Additionally, the potential for
larger than normal commercial loan payoffs may limit loan growth during the
remainder of 2006.
While commercial loans comprise the largest portion of the Company's loan
portfolio, generating residential real estate loans remains a key focus of the
Company's lending efforts. The Company's total real estate loan balances
increased $1,379 or 0.6% from year-end 2005 to finish at $236,387. Throughout
the second half of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, consumer demand for real
estate loans has steadily increased due to the continuation of lower mortgage
rates that have not responded as much to the well-documented rise in short-term
interest rates. This has led to a specific demand for long-term, fixed rate real
13
estate originations which still remain affordable for the Company's mortgage
consumers. To help satisfy this increasing demand in fixed rate real estate
loans, the Company continues to originate and sell some fixed rate mortgages to
the secondary market, but has sold just $1,045 in loans during the first quarter
of 2006, which is relatively even with the same volume in the first quarter of
2005. Management continues to feel comfortable with the Company's minimal
interest rate risk exposure and, as a result, the Company kept a large portion
of its fixed rate real estate originations in its portfolio during the first
quarter of 2006. This led to an increase in fixed rate real estate loan balances
of $6,205 or 11.0% from year-end 2005. Partially offsetting this loan growth was
a decrease in the Company's 1 year adjustable rate mortgage balances of $3,579
or 4.4% as a result of the slowed volume of refinancing that had been evident
during 2004 and 2005. The remaining real estate loan portfolio balances
decreased primarily from the Company's other variable rate real estate loan
products.
During the first quarter of 2006, consumer loans fell $3,427 or 2.4% from
year-end 2005 to finish at $142,388. This fall in consumer volume was mostly
attributable to the indirect automobile lending segment which decreased $2,363
or 5.3% from year-end 2005. While the automobile lending segment continues to
represent the largest portion of the Company's consumer loan portfolio,
management's emphasis on profitable loan growth with higher returns has
contributed most to the reduction in loan volume within this area. Indirect
automobile loans bear additional costs from dealers that partially offset
interest revenue and lower the rate of return. Furthermore, economic factors and
the continued rising rate environment have caused a decline in automobile loan
volume. As rates have been aggressively moving up, continued competition with
alternative methods of financing, such as captive finance companies offering
loans at below-market interest rates, have continued to challenge automobile
loan growth during the first quarter of 2006.
The Company recognized an increase from year-end 2005 in other loans of $2,962.
Other loans consist primarily of state and municipal loans as well as
overdrafts. This increase was largely due to an increase in state and municipal
loans of $2,760.
The Company is pleased with its total loan growth results during the first
quarter of 2006, especially since loan volume is typically low during the first
quarter. With the 2006 first quarter loan results largely driven by unseasonable
commercial loan increases, the Company expects loan volume to increase at a more
moderate pace throughout the remainder of 2006. The Company remains committed to
sound underwriting practices without sacrificing asset quality and avoiding
exposure to unnecessary risk that could weaken the portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company experienced a $194 or 58.4%
increase in net charge offs as compared to the same period in 2005, mostly from
significant commercial loan recoveries during the first quarter of 2005 as well
as higher relative loan balances during the first quarter of 2006. Asset quality
remains a key focus, as management continues to stress not just loan growth, but
quality in loan underwriting as well. Since December 31, 2005, the level of
nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccruing loans and accruing loans past
due 90 days or more, has decreased slightly from $2,557 at year-end 2005 to
$2,515 at quarter-end 2006. The Company's ratio of nonperforming loans as a
percentage of total loans improved slightly from 0.41% at year-end 2005 to 0.40%
at March 31, 2006. The Company's ratio of nonperforming assets, which includes
real estate acquired through foreclosure referred to as other real estate owned
("OREO"), as a percentage of total assets also improved slightly, decreasing
from 0.62% at year-end 2005 to 0.59% at March 31, 2006. Nonperforming assets
include a single OREO property representing .24% of total assets at March 31,
2006. Due to stable asset quality, continued sound underwriting practices and
stable portfolio risk, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans
remains unchanged at 1.16% at March 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005.
14
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and reflects
probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Deposits
Deposits, both interest and noninterest bearing, continue to be the most
significant source of funds used by the Company to support earning assets.
Deposits are influenced by changes in interest rates, economic conditions and
competition from other banks. During the first quarter of 2006, total deposits
were up $17,717 or 3.1% from year-end 2005, affected by the rise in interest
rates ans increased loan balances. The change in deposits came primarily from
increases in money market and interest bearing demand deposit balances.
Money market account balances increased $10,410 or 46.6% during the first
quarter of 2006, primarily from the Company's new Market Watch product which
generated $10,543 in additional deposit balances from year-end 2005. Introduced
in August 2005, the Market Watch product is a limited transaction investment
account with tiered rates that will compete with current market rate offerings.
Deposit growth was also supplemented by a $6,345 or 6.6% increase in the
Company's interest bearing demand deposits from year-end 2005. This was largely
driven by a $10,440 increase in public funds related to the collection of real
estate taxes by local municipalities who maintain various deposit accounts (NOW
accounts) within the Bank. These deposits from seasonal real estate tax
collections are short-term in nature and typically decrease in the second
quarter. These increases to interest bearing demand deposits were partially
offset by a decrease in the Company's Gold Club NOW product, which lowered by
$6,266 from year-end 2005. This is directly related to the success of the
aforementioned Market Watch product which caused this deposit balance shift from
NOW account balances.
Time deposits, particularly certificates of deposit ("CD's"), continue to be the
most significant source of funding for the Company's earning assets during the
first quarter ending March 31, 2006, making up 59.6% of total deposits. Time
deposits increased $3,186 or 1.0% from year-end 2005, largely due to an increase
in the Company's wholesale funding deposits (i.e., brokered and network CD
issuances) of $2,058 or 3.7%. The Company's retail CD balances grew $1,128 or
0.3% from year-end 2005. The Company continues to experience increased
competition for deposits in its market areas which has challenged its net growth
in retail CD balances. The Company will continue to target growth in these funds
during the remaining three quarters of 2006, reflecting the Company's efforts to
reduce its reliance on higher cost funding.
The Company's interest-free funding source, noninterest bearing demand deposits,
decreased $3,798 or 4.6% from year-end 2005, primarily from seasonal decreases
in it business checking balances from several large commercial accounts.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Repurchase agreements, which are financing arrangements that have overnight
maturity terms, were down $12,889 or 44.3% from year-end 2005. This decline was
mostly due to typical seasonal fluctuations of two commercial accounts in the
first quarter of 2006.
Other Borrowed Funds
The Company also accesses other funding sources, including short-term and
long-term borrowings, to fund asset growth and satisfy short-term liquidity
needs. During the first quarter of 2006, other borrowed funds were up just $482
or 0.6% from year-end 2005, primarily due to the continued emphasis on retail
15
deposits as the primary source of funding for growth in earning assets.
Management will continue to utilize various wholesale borrowings to help manage
interest rate sensitivity and liquidity.
Shareholders' Equity
The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a
margin of safety for its depositors and shareholders. Total shareholders' equity
at March 31, 2006 of $59,537 was up $266 or 0.4% as compared to the balance of
$59,271 on December 31, 2005. Contributing most to this increase was
year-to-date net income of $1,739 less cash dividends paid of $680, or $.16 per
share year-to-date. Partially offsetting the growth in capital was an increase
in the amount of treasury stock repurchases. The Company had treasury stock
totaling $8,836 at March 31, 2006, an increase of $587 as compared to the total
at year-end 2005. The Company anticipates repurchasing additional common shares
from time to time as authorized by its stock repurchase program. The Company's
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 175,000 shares of the
Company's common stock through open market and privately negotiated purchases
between February 16, 2006 and August 16, 2006.
Further offsetting the growth in capital was a decrease in the market value of
available-for-sale securities held by the Company, which lowered shareholders'
equity by $206, net of deferred income taxes. At March 31, 2006, the Company had
an unrealized loss, net of deferred income taxes, of $1,437 as compared to an
unrealized loss, net of deferred income taxes, of $1,231 at December 31, 2005.
The Company has approximately 84.4% of its securities classified as
available-for-sale. As a result, the securities and shareholders' equity
sections of the Company's balance sheet are more sensitive to the changing
market values of securities than if the Company held more securities which could
be classified as held-to-maturity.
Comparison of
Results of Operations
for the Year-To-Date Periods
Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
-------------------------------
The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated results of
operations of the Company for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2006
compared to the same period in 2005. The purpose of this discussion is to
provide the reader a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial
statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim
consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in this Form 10-Q.
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 interest bearing liabilities. The Company earns
interest and dividend income from loans, investment securities and short-term
investments while incurring interest expense on interest bearing deposits,
repurchase agreements as well as short and long-term borrowings. For the first
quarter of 2006, net interest income exceeded the same period in 2005 by $508 or
7.4%. The increase in year-to-date net interest income is primarily due to the
improvement in net interest margin in relation to the sustained rising rate
environment with significant increases in short-term rates over the past year.
Total interest income increased $1,680 or 15.3% for the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to the same period in 2005. Growth in 2006's year-to-date average
earning assets of $29,051 or 4.3% as compared to the same period in 2005 was
complemented with a 70 basis point increase in asset yields, growing from 6.57%
to 7.27% for the same time periods. The growth in average earning assets was
largely comprised
16
of commercial and participation loan originations as well real estate mortgages
since June 2005. The significant change in asset yields can be attributed to the
rising rate environment that has generated consistent increases in short-term
interest rates that have been evident since June 2004. Between June 2004 and
March 2006, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee has increased the target
federal funds rate 375 basis points, causing a similar increase in short-term
market interest rates. This increase in short-term interest rates was most
sensitive to the Company's commercial and participation loan portfolios, with
loan yields collectively up 106 basis points from 6.34% at March 31, 2005 to
7.40% at March 31, 2006. Market driven longer-term interest rates have risen
very little during this same period, causing the Company's real estate loan
portfolio yields to increase at a slower pace than commercial and participation
loans from 2005.
Total interest expense increased $1,172 or 28.5% during the first quarter of
2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 as the result of higher rates and
larger average earning asset balances which required additionl funding. The
increase came mostly from interest expense incurred on the Bank's CD account
deposits which have been more responsive to the rising rate environment
experienced since March 2005. The change in interest expense was further
impacted by the Company's money market accounts largely due to the new Market
Watch product added in 2005 with tiered market rates that compete well with
other such rate offerings in the Company's existing market areas. As a result of
the continued rise in rates, the Bank's average funding costs have increased 58
basis points from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006.
The Federal Reserve's actions to increase interest rates over the past year has
been effective in allowing asset yields to grow while taking more pressure off
of the net interest margin. This, combined with the Company's emphasis on
profitable loan pricing, has contributed to growth in the net interest margin,
increasing 12 basis points to 4.24% for the quarter-to-date period ending March
31, 2006 as compared to the same time period in 2005. While the frequency and
size of changes in market interest rates are difficult to predict, management
believes that the end of future interest rate increases is near and such market
rates should stabilize for the remainder of 2006. The combination of expected
earning asset growth combined with a stable net interest margin should continue
to enhance net interest income growth for 2006. For additional discussion on the
Company's rate sensitive assets and liabilities, please see Item 3, Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk of this Form 10-Q.
Provision Expense
Management performs, on a quarterly basis, a detailed analysis of the allowance
for loan losses so that it encompasses loan portfolio composition, loan quality,
loan loss experience and other economic factors. During the first quarter of
2006, provision expense increased $349 over the same quarterly period in 2005.
This increase is a direct result of the Company's quarterly increase in net
charge-offs and increasing rate of loan growth over the 12 months ending March
31, 2006. In first quarter of 2006, net charge-offs were up $194 or 58.4% over
the same period in 2005 in large part to a recovery in commercial loans during
the first quarter of 2005. Also, the total loan balance increase of $8,841 from
year-end 2005 equals an annual growth rate of 5.7% as compared to the 2.8%
growth rate in 2005. Management continues to be pleased with the stable
nonperforming loan ratios. Through the first quarter period of 2006, the ratio
of the Company's nonperforming loans to total loans stood at 0.40% as compared
to 0.41% at December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, while nonperforming assets to
total assets also improved to .59% as compared to .62% for the same time
periods. Management feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and
reflective of probable losses in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses
was 1.16% of total loans at March 31, 2006, unchanged from December 31, 2005.
Future provisions to the allowance for loan losses will continue to be based on
management's quarterly in-depth evaluation that is discussed further in detail
under the caption "Critical Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan Losses" of
this Form 10-Q.
17
Noninterest Income
Net interest income was supplemented by growth in total noninterest income,
increasing $56 or 4.5% during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005. Quarterly results were impacted by earnings from the Company's
bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") contracts, which increased $39 or 26.4% over
the first quarter of 2005 due to increases in the cash surrender value and
higher earnings rate of such contracts. Since March 31, 2005, the Company's
investment in BOLI has increased $2,011 or 14.3%. Other noninterest income was
also up $66 or 20.7% during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005. Debit card interchange fees were the key drivers of other
noninterest income, increasing 17 or 17.0% enhanced by increased transactional
volume over a year ago. The Company's customers used their debit cards to
complete 230,799 transactions during the first quarter of 2006, up 21.9% from
189,336 transactions during the same period in 2005, derived mostly from
gasoline and restaurant purchases. Other noninterest income growth came from
gains on sale of OREO and insurance commission sales from loan originations.
Partially offsetting the increases from BOLI and other noninterest revenue was a
decrease in the Company's service charge on deposit accounts, lowering $47 or
6.7% during 2006's first quarter as compared to the same period in 2005 due to
the growth in the number of service charge free checking accounts as well as
seasonal low volume of overdraft fees.
Noninterest Expense
The Company remains committed to improving efficiency by placing strong emphasis
on overhead expense control. During the first quarter of 2006, total noninterest
expense was up $123 or 2.2% as compared to the same period in 2005. Contributing
most to this quarterly increase were salaries and employee benefits, the
Company's largest noninterest expense item, which increased $113 or 3.6% for the
first quarter of 2006 over the same period in 2005. This increase was largely
due to higher salaries and benefit costs from annual salary adjustments as well
as higher accrued incentive costs based on the Company's higher earnings per
share in the first quarter of 2006. Data processing expenses also increased $53
or 32.3% primarily from the transactional volume increase in the Company's debit
cards. Increases in personnel and data processing costs were partially offset by
a decrease in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses, which were down $27
or 9.2% during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
This was in large part due to the maturities of depreciation terms on several
asset acquisitions from previous years as well as the decreasing nature of
current depreciable assets that incurred lower depreciation expenses during
2006. All remaining noninterest expense categories were collectively down $16 or
1.1% during the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005's first quarter.
18
Capital Resources
All of the Company's capital ratios exceeded the regulatory minimum guidelines
as identified in the following table:
Company Ratios Regulatory Well
3/31/06 12/31/05 Minimum Capitalized
------- -------- ------------ -----------
Tier 1 risk-based capital 12.3% 12.3% 4.00% 6.0%
Total risk-based capital ratio 13.5% 13.5% 8.00% 10.0%
Leverage ratio 9.7% 9.9% 4.00% 5.0%
Cash dividends paid of $680 for the first quarter of 2006 represent a 4.3%
quarterly increase over the cash dividends paid during the same period in 2005.
The quarterly dividend rate increased from $0.15 per share in 2005 to $0.16 per
share in 2006. The dividend rate has increased in proportion to the consistent
growth in retained earnings. At March 31, 2006, approximately 80% of the
Company's shareholders were enrolled in the Company's dividend reinvestment
plan. As part of the Company's stock purchase program, management will continue
to utilize reinvested dividends and voluntary cash, if necessary, to purchase
shares on the open market to be redistributed through the dividend reinvestment
plan.
Liquidity
Liquidity relates to the Company's ability to meet the cash demands and credit
needs of its customers and is provided by the ability to readily convert assets
to cash and raise funds in the market place. Total cash and cash equivalents,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, held-to-maturity securities maturing
within one year and securities available-for-sale of $83,577 represented 11.0%
of total assets at March 31, 2006. In addition, the FHLB offers advances to the
Bank which further enhances the Bank's ability to meet liquidity demands. At
March 31, 2006, the Bank could borrow an additional $56 million from the FHLB.
The Bank also has the ability to purchase federal funds from several of its
correspondent banks. For further cash flow information, see the condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows contained in this Form 10-Q. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As discussed in Note 4 - Concentrations of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments
with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, the Company engages in certain off-balance sheet
credit-related activities, including commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit, which could require the Company to make cash payments in the
event that specified future events occur. 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 to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. While these commitments are
necessary to meet the financing needs of the Company's customers, many of these
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the
total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with
the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes, provide
information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the
19
financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views
critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on
subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in
those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial
statements. Management currently views the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses to be a critical accounting policy.
Allowance for loan losses
To arrive at the total dollars necessary to maintain an allowance level
sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred at a specific financial statement
date, management has developed procedures to establish and then evaluate the
allowance once determined. The allowance consists of the following components:
specific allocation, general allocation and other estimated general allocation.
To arrive at the amount required for the specific allocation component, the
Company evaluates loans for which a loss may be incurred either in part or
whole. To achieve this task, the Company has created a quarterly report
("Watchlist") which lists the loans from each loan portfolio that management
deems to be potential credit risks. The criteria to be placed on this report
are: past due 60 or more days, nonaccrual and loans management has determined to
be potential problem loans. These loans are reviewed and analyzed for potential
loss by the Large Loan Review Committee which consists of the President of the
Company and members of senior management with lending authority. The function of
the Committee is to review and analyze large borrowers for credit risk,
scrutinize the Watchlist and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses and other credit related issues. The Committee has established a grading
system to evaluate the credit risk of each commercial borrower on a scale of 1
(least risk) to 10 (greatest risk). After the Committee evaluates each
relationship listed in the report, a specific loss allocation may be assessed.
The specific allocation is currently made up of amounts allocated to the
commercial loan portfolio.
Included in the specific allocation are impaired loans, which consist of loans
with balances of $200 or more on nonaccrual status or non-performing in nature.
These loans are also individually analyzed and a specific allocation may be
assessed based on expected credit loss. Collateral dependent loans will be
evaluated to determine a fair value of the collateral securing the loan. Any
changes in the impaired allocation will be reflected in the total specific
allocation.
The second component (general allowance) is based upon total loan portfolio
balances minus loan balances already reviewed (specific allocation). The Large
Loan Review Committee evaluates credit analysis reports that provide management
with a "snapshot" of information on borrowers with larger-balance loans
(aggregate balances of $1,000 or greater), including loan grades, collateral
values, etc. A list is prepared and updated quarterly that allows management to
monitor this group of borrowers. Therefore, only small balance commercial loans
and homogeneous loans (consumer and real estate loans) have not been
specifically reviewed to determine minor delinquencies, current collateral
values and present credit risk. The Company utilizes actual historic loss
experience as a factor to calculate the probable losses for this component of
the allowance for loan losses. This risk factor reflects an actual 1 year or 3
year performance evaluation of credit losses per loan portfolio, whichever is
greater. The risk factor is achieved by taking the average net charge off per
loan portfolio for the last 12 or 36 consecutive months, whichever is greater,
and dividing it by the average loan balance for each loan portfolio over the
same time period. The Company believes that by using the greater of the 12 or 36
month average loss risk factor, the estimated allowance will more accurately
reflect current probable losses.
The final component used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance includes five
additional areas that management believes can have an impact on collecting all
principal due. These areas are: 1) delinquency trends, 2) current local economic
conditions, 3) non-performing loan trends, 4) recovery vs. charge off, and 5)
personnel changes. Each of these areas is given a percentage factor, from a low
of 10% to a high
20
of 30%, determined by the degree of impact it may have on the allowance. To
calculate the impact of other economic conditions on the allowance, the total
general allowance is multiplied by this factor. These dollars are then added to
the other two components to provide for economic conditions in the Company's
assessment area. The Company's assessment area takes in a total of ten counties
in Ohio and West Virginia. Each assessment area has its individual economic
conditions; however, the Company has chosen to average
the risk factors for compiling the economic risk factor.
The adequacy of the allowance may be determined by certain specific and
nonspecific allocations; however, the total allocation is available for any
credit losses that may impact the loan portfolios.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains a diversified credit portfolio, with commercial loans
currently comprising the most significant portion. Credit risk is primarily
subject to loans made to businesses and individuals in central and southeastern
Ohio as well as western West Virginia. Management believes this risk to be
general in nature, as there are no material concentrations of loans to any
industry or consumer group. To the extent possible, the Company diversifies its
loan portfolio to limit credit risk by avoiding industry concentrations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
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.
The Company evaluates IRR through the use of an earnings simulation model to
analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The modeling
process starts with a base case simulation, which assumes a flat interest rate
scenario. The base case scenario is compared to rising and falling interest rate
scenarios assuming a parallel shift in all interest rates. Comparisons of net
interest income and net income fluctuations from the flat rate scenario
illustrate the risks associated with the projected balance sheet structure.
The Company's Asset Liability Committee monitors and manages IRR within Board
approved policy limits. The current IRR policy limits anticipated changes in net
interest income over a 12 month horizon to plus or minus 10% of the base net
interest income assuming a parallel rate shock of up 100, 200 and 300 basis
points and down 100 and 200 basis points. Based on the current interest rate
environment, management did not test interest rates down 300 basis points.
The following table presents the Company's estimated net interest income
sensitivity:
March 31, 2006 December 31, 2005
Change in Interest Rates Percentage Change in Percentage Change in
in Basis Points Net Interest Income Net Interest Income
------------------------ -------------------- --------------------
+300 (3.99%) (3.35%)
+200 (1.14%) (.86%)
+100 (.07%) (.09%)
-100 (.29%) (.25%)
-200 (.91%) (.45%)
21
The estimated change in net interest income reflects minimal interest rate risk
exposure and is well within the policy guidelines established by the Board. At
March 31, 2006, the Company's analysis of net interest income reflects a modest
liability sensitive position in a rising rate environment. Based on current
assumptions, an instantaneous increase in interest rates would negatively impact
net interest income primarily due to variable rate loans reaching their annual
interest rate cap or potentially their lifetime interest rate cap. Furthermore,
in a rising rate environment the prepayment amounts on loans and mortgage-backed
securities slows down, producing less cash flow to reinvest at higher interest
rates. In an instantaneous decrease in interest rates, the analysis also
produces a decline in net interest income. In a decreasing rate environment
prepayment amounts on earning assets speed up producing more cash flow to
reinvest a lower interest rates. Since interest-bearing liabilities do not
demonstrate the optionality characteristics of earning assets, the change in
interest expense is linear as interest rates move. As compared to December 31,
2005, the Company's interest rate risk profile remained relatively stable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (the
principal executive officer) and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
(the principal financial officer) of Ohio Valley, Ohio Valley's management has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Ohio Valley's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the quarterly period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, Ohio
Valley's President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that:
o information required to be disclosed by Ohio Valley in this Quarterly Report

Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Ohio Valley's
management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure;
o information required to be disclosed by Ohio Valley in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and other reports that Ohio Valley files or submits under the
Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and
o Ohio Valley's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end
of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to
ensure that material information relating to Ohio Valley and its consolidated
subsidiaries is made known to them, particularly during the period for which
the periodic reports of Ohio Valley, including this Quarterly Report on Form
