PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
General Description of Business
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (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 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 Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking and 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 nonconforming or
nontraditional credit history. Revenues from loans accounted for 80.66% in 1997,
79.81% in 1996 and 74.50% in 1995 of total consolidated revenues. Revenues from
interest and dividends on securities accounted for 13.56%, 15.21% and 20.58% of
total consolidated revenues in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Bank
presently has nine offices, six of which offer drive-up services and automatic
teller machines. The Bank accounted for substantially all of the Registrant's
consolidated assets at December 31, 1997.
The banking business is highly competitive. The Bank's market area is
concentrated primarily in Gallia, Jackson, Pike and Franklin Counties in Ohio
and Mason County, 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,
Page 3
PART I (continued)
with substantially greater resources, are becoming increasingly visible. With
the formation of Loan Central, the Registrant is better able to compete in
Gallia 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 service. 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, commercial leases, 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.
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 their respective consumer portfolio and updating loan
personnel. The Registrant's subsidiaries make credit life insurance and health
and accident insurance available to all qualified buyers 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 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. 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 are generally one year adjustable or fixed for the first three or
five years and then become one year adjustable, fully amortized mortgages. The
Bank is currently not originating mortgages for the secondary market. 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.
Page 4
PART I (continued)
The Bank expanded its operations in December 1996 by introducing a
supermarket branch in the Bank's existing market area of Gallia County to
further enhance the Bank's customer service through extended hours and
convenience. In January 1997, another branch was opened in Columbus, Ohio
(Franklin County) which represents a new market for the Bank. The Bank also
converted its loan origination office in Point Pleasant, West Virginia to a
full-service branch providing greater access to its current and future
customers. The Bank expects to continue this growth in 1998 by introducing a
second SuperBank branch to be located in a local Wal-Mart store in Gallipolis.
To expand on Loan Central's success, a third office was opened in Jackson, Ohio
in early 1998.
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 a bank holding company under the BHC Act, which restricts
the activities of the Registrant and the acquisition by the Registrant of voting
shares or assets of any bank, savings association or other company. The
Registrant is also subject 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 or 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. Bank
holding companies are prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect control of
more than 5% of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of
any bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board. 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.
As an Ohio state-chartered bank, the Bank is supervised and regulated by the
Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. The deposits of the Bank are insured by
the FDIC and the Bank is 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.
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.
Page 5
PART I (continued)
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies and for state member banks. 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 weighted risk assets (including
certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) 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 and state member banks 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 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 the
current year's net profits and the 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 the 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.
Page 6
PART I (continued)
Deposit Insurance Assessments and Recent Legislation
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 become fully funded, BIF assessments for healthy commercial banks
were reduced to $0 per year, during 1997. 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 1998 will be $.013
per $100 in deposits. Based upon its level of deposits at December 31, 1997, the
projected BIF assessments for the Bank would be $37,427 for 1998.
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 by
reason of any laws regulating or protecting the environment. The Registrant
believes that the nature of the operations of the Bank 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 the forseeable future. The Bank may be required to make capital expenditures
related to properties which it 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, 1997, the Registrant and its
subsidiaries employed 212 persons full-time and 18 persons part-time. 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
expense.
