PART I
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's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Jackson Savings Bank (Jackson),
was acquired in a business combination accounted for using the pooling of
interest method on December 15, 1998. Jackson was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio on January 1, 1899. Jackson's deposits are insured up to
applicable limits by the FDIC.
The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking. Loan Central is engaged
in consumer finance. Jackson is engaged primarily in the business of accepting
deposits and issuing first mortgage and consumer loans. 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, Loan Central and Jackson. 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. Jackson, a state-chartered savings bank,
principally offers first mortgage loans used to finance the purchase,
construction or improvement of residential or other real property. In addition
to originating loans, the Bank and Jackson invest 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 80.50% in 1998, 80.62% in 1997 and 79.82% in
1996 of total consolidated revenues. Revenues from interest and dividends on
securities accounted for 12.23%, 13.79% and 15.40% of total consolidated
revenues in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Bank presently has twelve
offices, all of which offer automatic teller machines. Six of these offices also
offer drive-up services. The Bank accounted for substantially all of the
Registrant's consolidated assets at December 31, 1998.
The banking business is highly competitive. The market area for the Bank and
Jackson is concentrated primarily in the Gallia, Jackson, Pike and Franklin
Counties of Ohio as well as the Mason and Putnam 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. With the formation of Loan Central , the
Registrant is better able to compete in Gallia and Jackson 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. In
addition, the acquisition of Jackson will further expand the Registrant's market
share in Jackson County by enhancing bank activities. 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 and Jackson deal 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.
Page 4
PART I (continued)
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 generally range from one year adjustable to thirty year fixed rate
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.
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 area 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 continued
this growth in 1998 by opening three additional SuperBank branches, two of which
are located within Wal-Mart stores in Gallipolis, Ohio and Cross Lanes, West
Virginia (Putnam County), and the third branch located within a supermarket in
Pomeroy, Ohio (Meigs County). In December 1998, the Registrant acquired Jackson,
conducting business with one office in Jackson, Ohio, to further enhance banking
activities in Jackson County. To expand on Loan Central's success, a fourth
office to be located in Waverly, Ohio is expected to open in early 1999.
Supervision and Regulation
The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the
Registrant, Bank and Jackson. 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 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
Page 5
PART I (continued)
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 Ohio state-chartered banks, the Bank and Jackson are supervised and
regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. The deposits of these
banks 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.
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 and Jackson have 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 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 risk weighted 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 and Jackson, are subject to similar capital requirements
adopted by the FDIC.
Page 6
PART I (continued)
The Registrant, Bank and Jackson 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 these banks, which may require them to retain capital for further
investments in these banks, rather than for dividends for shareholders of the
Registrant. These banks may not pay dividends to the Registrant if, after paying
such dividends, they would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the
risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio requirements. These
banks must have the approval of their regulatory authorities if a dividend in
any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of
their current year's net profits and retained net profits for the preceding two
years, less required transfers to surplus. Payment of dividends by these banks
may be restricted at any time at the discretion of their regulatory authorities,
if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking
practice or if necessary to maintain adequate capital for these banks. These
provisions could have the effect of limiting the Registrant's ability to pay
dividends on its outstanding common shares.
Deposit Insurance Assessments and Recent Litigation
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 and Jackson are members 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 1998. 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 1999 will be $0.012
per $100 in deposits. Based upon their level of deposits at December 31, 1998,
the projected BIF assessments for the Bank and Jackson would be $39,278 for
1999.

PART I (continued)
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 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 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, 1998,
the Registrant and its subsidiaries employed 224 persons full-time and 21
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.
Statistical Disclosure
The following section contains certain financial disclosures relating to the
