                              OHIO VALLEY BANC CORP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (dollars in thousands, except per share data)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries The Ohio Valley Bank Company
and Loan Central,  Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim  financial  statements are prepared  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 Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. at June 30, 1998, and its results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do
not  purport to contain  all the  necessary  financial  disclosures  required by
generally  accepted  accounting  principles that might otherwise be necessary in
the  circumstances.  The Annual  Report for Ohio Valley Banc Corp.  for the year
ended December 31, 1997, contains consolidated  financial statements and related
notes which should be read in  conjunction  with the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements.

The  provision  for  income  taxes is based upon the  effective  income tax rate
expected to be applicable for the entire year.

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.  For the six months ended June 30,
1998 and June 30, 1997,  Ohio Valley Banc Corp.  paid  interest in the amount of
$7,215 and $6,016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June
30,  1997,  Ohio  Valley  Banc  Corp.  paid  income  taxes  of  $892  and  $790,
respectively.

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average shares  outstanding
during the period.  For the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and June 30,  1997,
weighted average shares outstanding were 2,717,868 and 2,652,650,  respectively.
On April 8, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a three for two stock split to
shareholders  of record on April 20,  1998.  The  stock  split was  recorded  by
transferring  from retained  earnings an amount equal to the stated value of the
shares  issued.  Earnings  and  cash  dividends  per  share  amounts  have  been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split.

The  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  130,
"Reporting   Comprehensive   Income".   Under  this  new  accounting   standard,
comprehensive  income is now  reported  for all  periods.  Comprehensive  income
includes both net income and other  comprehensive  income.  Other  comprehensive
income  includes  the  change  in  unrealized  gains and  losses  on  securities
available-for-sale.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.  

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp.  at June 30,  1998,  compared to December  31,  1997,  and the
consolidated  results of operations for the year-to-date  and quarterly  periods
ending June 30, 1998,  compared to the same periods in 1997. 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.

The  Registrant is not aware of any trends,  events or  uncertainties  that will
have or are  reasonably  likely  to have a  material  effect  on the  liquidity,
capital resources or operations except as discussed herein. Also, the Registrant
is not aware of any current  recommendations  by  regulatory  authorities  which
would have such effect if implemented.

On April 8, 1998, the Company entered into a Definitive  Purchase Agreement with
Jackson Saving Bank pursuant to which the Company will acquire  Jackson  Savings
as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary.  Under the terms of the  Agreement,  each of the
19,400 shares of Jackson Savings will be exchanged for a number of the Company's
common  shares  with a  total  market  value  equal  to  $163.09.  The  proposed
acquisition is subject to certain conditions,  including the approval of Jackson
Savings Bank shareholders and approval of certain  regulatory  authorities.  The
transaction  is expected to be completed in the third  quarter of 1998.  Jackson
Savings is a savings  bank  located in Jackson,  Ohio with  approximately  $15.5
million in assets and $2.7  million in  shareholders'  equity at March 31, 1998.
Management  entered  into the  agreement  to expand and  enhance  the  Company's
banking activities in Jackson County.

The Company  expects to open two more branches  during the third quarter of this
year. These offices will be SuperBanks which offer seven day a week banking. The
first, scheduled to open in August, will be located in a new 189,000 square foot
WalMart  SuperCenter in Cross Lanes, West Virginia.  The next will be located in
the Big Bend Foodland in Pomeroy,  Ohio.  Both offices will allow the Company to
market its services to a new customer base.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at June 30, 1998,  were  $391,310  compared to $364,095 at December
31, 1997,  representing  an increase of 7.5%.  The growth in assets  occurred in
loans and federal funds sold which had increases of $19,561 and $6,306.  Funding
the growth in assets were  increases  in deposits of $9,504,  borrowed  funds of
$7,663 and repurchase agreements of $6,815.

For the  first  half of  1998,  loan  growth  was led by real  estate  mortgages
expanding  $17,406  driven by low interest  rates.  A majority of the growth has
occurred in Jackson and Pike counties in Ohio and Mason county in West Virginia.
These  represent  newer  markets  for the  Company.  For the same  time  period,
consumer loans expanded  $2,219 and commercial  loans expanded $574.  Loans past
due more
 
                                       11


than 90 days plus loans placed on nonaccrual status were approximately $3,417 or
1.18% of outstanding  balances at June 30, 1998,  compared to $4,196 or 1.56% of
outstanding  balances at the end of 1997.  Management  anticipates  that it will
continue its provision to the allowance for loan losses at its current level for
the foreseeable future and believes the allowance is adequate to absorb inherent
losses in the portfolio based on collateral values and a comprehensive  analysis
of the  allowance  for loan and lease loss  which is  performed  on a  quarterly
basis. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance for loan losses at June 30,
1998 was 1.22% unchanged from December 31, 1997.

Total deposits at June 30, 1998, of $303,216 represents an increase of $9,504 or
3.2% from  December  31,  1997.  Savings and  interest-bearing  demand  deposits
accounted  for a majority of the growth  with an increase of $7,363  followed by
noninterest-bearing deposits increasing $2,928.

Securities sold under  agreements to repurchase  increased  $6,815 from December
31, 1997 and is due mostly to one customer.  Other  borrowed funds are primarily
advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank  (FHLB),  which are used to fund loan
growth  or  short-term  liquidity  needs.  FHLB  borrowings  have  two  distinct
advantages:  they are less expensive than deposits for comparable terms and they
are not subject to pre-mature  withdrawal.  Other  borrowed  funds are up $7,663
from  December  31,  1997.  A  portion  of the  growth  is  related  to the Bank
participating in a program with the Federal Reserve who deposits tax receipts in
banks in the form of collateralized interest-bearing notes. The balance of these
notes at June 30, 1998, was $4,700.

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1998 of $36,090 was 5.6% greater than the
balance of $34,166 on December  31,  1997.  Contributing  to this  increase  was
year-to-date  income of $1,925 and  proceeds  from the  issuance of common stock
through the dividend reinvestment plan of $752 less cash dividends paid of $741,
or $.27 per share adjusted for stock split.  The cash dividend  represents 38.5%
of the year-to-date income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Ohio Valley Banc  Corp.'s net income was $988 for the second  quarter and $1,925
for the first six months of 1998, up 8.7% and 13.6%, compared to $909 and $1,694
for the same periods in 1997. Second quarter net income per share,  adjusted for
the stock split,  was $.36, up 5.88% over last year's $.34 and for the first six
months of 1998,  net  income per share was $.71,  up 10.94%  over  1997's  $.64.
Comparing  the first half of 1998 to the first  half of 1997,  return on average
assets  was 1.04%  compared  to .98% and  return on  average  equity  was 11.09%
compared to 11.02%.

The Company's enhanced financial performance was primarily attributable to gains
in net interest  income which  exceeded the  year-to-date  and second quarter of
last year by $1,212 and $696. The increase in net interest income was due to the
growth in earning assets combined with a higher net interest margin. The gain in
net interest  income was partially  offset by net  noninterest  expense being up
$492 for the first six months  and being up $255 for the second  quarter in 1998
compared to the same periods in 1997.
                                  
                                       12



The  provision for loan losses was $892 for the six months ending June 30, 1998,
compared to $502 for the same time  period in 1997.  The  increase in  provision
expense  was  related to net loan  charge-offs  increasing  $208,  primarily  in
consumer loans. Furthermore, the loan portfolio has grown 7.3% in 1998.

Total  other  income  increased  $164 and $77 over the  year-to-date  and second
quarter of 1997.  Contributing  to the gain was the collection of an outstanding
insurance  commission of $41 and the increase in deposit  service charges due to
the growth in account volume.  Total other expense  increased $656 or 11.1% over
the first six months of 1997 and increased $332 or 11.0% over the second quarter
of 1997. With the establishment of additional offices and growth in assets which
require  more people to service,  the number of full-time  equivalent  employees
increased  by 13 from  June  30,  1997 to June 30,  1998.  Salary  and  employee
benefits are up $325 over the first half of 1997 and are up $162 over the second
quarter of 1997.  Additionally,  the Company awarded annual merit increases. The
growth in  operations  coupled  with the  investment  in  processing  technology
provided for the  increase in  occupancy  expense and  furniture  and  equipment
expense.  The  upgrade in  technology  produced a decrease  in data  processing.
Contributing  to the increase in other operating  expense was computer  software
depreciation and general increases in overhead expenses.

In  May  1997,  a  six  member   committee  was  formed  and  charged  with  the
responsibility  of  ensuring  that the  Company  will be ready for the Year 2000
transition.  This committee has conducted extensive inventories of the Company's
computer  software and hardware as well as other equipment that may be microchip
dependent.  The vendors associated with the aforementioned hardware and software
were contacted to determine the product's Year 2000 readiness.  A Year 2000 plan
has been  developed  which  commits the Company to being Year 2000  compliant by
December  31,  1998,  thereby  affording  the  Company one full year to test all
mission critical systems to verify their viability for the Year 2000 and beyond.
Management does not believe that the associated  costs relating to the Year 2000
effort will materially affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity and
capital  resources.  In an effort to assess and assist the Year 2000  efforts of
our  customers,  the Company  sponsored a forum in December of 1997 on Year 2000
date  change  issues  and is  conducting  interviews  with major  borrowers  and
depositors  in an attempt to  determine  their  readiness  with the century date
change.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

All of the  capital  ratio's  exceeded  the  regulatory  minimum  guidelines  as
identified in the following table:

                                          Company Ratios             Regulatory
                                June 30, 1998    December 31, 1997     Minimum
                                -------------   -------------------  -----------

Tier 1 risk-based capital            13.0%             13.0%            4.00%
Total risk-based capital ratio       14.2%             14.2%            8.00%
Leverage ratio                        9.4%              9.3%            4.00%

Cash dividends  paid of $741 for the first six months of 1997  represents a 8.5%
increase  over the cash  dividends  paid  during  the same  period in 1997.  The
increase in cash dividends paid is due to the
                                    
                                       13


additional shares outstanding during 1998 which were not outstanding during 1997
and to the  increase in the  dividend  paid per share.  During the first half of
1998, the Company issued 22,059 shares under the dividend reinvestment and stock
purchase  plan. At June 30, 1998,  approximately  66% of the  shareholders  were
enrolled in the dividend  reinvestment  plan.  Members of the plan invested $752
for the first six months of 1998 which exceeded year-to-date dividends paid.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  relates to the Bank'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, securities available-for-sale and the fair
value  of  held-to-maturity  securities  maturing  within  one  year of  $49,984
represented 12.8% of total assets at June 30, 1998. In addition, the Corporation
has  established a $16,900 line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
in Cincinnati to further  enhance the bank's ability to meet liquidity  demands.
As of June  30,  1998,  the  Bank had the  full  amount  of the  line of  credit
available.  Furthermore,  the Bank would be able to borrow an additional $50,472
from the FHLB based on the Bank's available collateral.  The Company experienced
an increase of $8,136 in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June
30, 1998. See the condensed  consolidated  statement of cash flows on page 5 for
further cash flow information.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company  maintains a diversified  credit  portfolio,  with real estate loans
comprising the most  significant  portion.  Credit risk is primarily  subject to
loans made to  businesses  and  individuals  in  southeastern  Ohio.  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.
