Oak Hill Financial Reports Earnings Up 9% in Fourth Quarter of 2004

Jackson, Ohio -- Oak Hill Financial,  Inc. (Nasdaq NMS: OAKF) today reported net
earnings  from  operations  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2004 of
$3,394,000,  or $.60  per  diluted  share.  The  fourth  quarter  2004  earnings
represent an increase of 9.3% over the $3,104,000, or $.54 per diluted share, in
operating  earnings that the company recorded for the quarter ended December 31,
2003.

For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2004,  Oak Hill  Financial  recorded net
earnings from operations of $13,096,000, or $2.30 per diluted share, an increase
of 8.7% over the $12,046,000,  or $2.14 per diluted share, in operating earnings
for fiscal 2003. The operating earnings for the fourth quarter and the year 2004
do not  include  a $2.3  million  after-tax  charge  related  to the  previously
announced  closure and sale of the  consumer  loan  portfolio  of the  company's
Action Finance Company  subsidiary on December 31, 2004. The operating  earnings
for the fourth  quarter and the year 2004 also  exclude  $11,000  and  $104,000,
respectively,  in after-tax expenses related to Oak Hill Financial's acquisition
of Ripley National Bank, which was completed on October 9, 2004, and its pending
merger with Lawrence  Financial  Holdings,  Inc.  Including  these charges,  the
company's net income was $1,053,000,  or $.19 per diluted share,  for the fourth
quarter and $10,662,000, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the year 2004.

Operating  earnings for the fourth  quarter and the year 2003 have been adjusted
for non-recurring tax savings of $132,000 and $531,000, respectively,  resulting
from a one-time tax savings.  Including the non-recurring savings, the company's
net income was $3,236,000, or $.57 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter and
$12,577,000, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the year 2003.

Oak Hill  Financial's  total assets ended 2004 at $1.08 billion,  an increase of
15.4% over the $938.3  million in assets at December  31, 2003 and 6.4% over the
$1.02  billion in assets at September  30, 2004.  Net loans at December 31, 2004
were $811.0  million,  up 15.5% over the $701.9 million in net loans at December
31, 2003,  and 4.2% over the $778.5 million in net loans at the end of the third
quarter of 2004. The  year-over-year  and fourth quarter  increase in assets and
loans  included  $55.8  million  in assets  and $38.7  million in loans from the
acquisition of Ripley National Bank.

Reviewing the fourth quarter and the year 2004, Oak Hill Financial President and
Chief Executive Officer R.E. Coffman,  Jr. said,  "Coming into the year, we knew
2004 would be a  challenge.  We had been  extremely  successful  in  originating
mortgages  during the refinancing boom and when that ended in late 2003, we knew
that our  non-interest  income  could be  substantially  less in 2004.  While we
didn't  reach  our  objective  of  double-digit  earnings  growth  - and  we are
disappointed  we didn't  hit our  target - we did get almost 9% and were able to
limit the decrease in non-interest income to 11%."

Looking forward,  Coffman stated, "2005 will have its challenges as well, but we
are optimistic  about the coming year. The  integration of Ripley  National Bank
has gone very well,  and we are hopeful  that our pending  merger with  Lawrence
Financial  Holdings will close around the beginning of the second quarter.  Both
transactions  fill open areas within our Southern  Ohio  footprint and should be
nicely accretive.  We also think the prospects are good for renewed loan growth,
and our SBA  lending  activity  is on the  upswing.  With the  closing of Action
Finance and the clean-up of some older problem loans,  we also are on a positive
track with respect to asset quality.  Overall,  our focus will be on growing our
core  banking  business,   maintaining  the  net  interest  margin,   increasing
non-interest income, and controlling our operating expenses."

"We're  not  changing  our  standards  based on 2004,  either,"  he added.  "Our
earnings growth  objective for next year is north of 13%, and we think we've got
the right plans in place to achieve that goal."




Key Issue Review and Outlook

Net  Interest  Margin - Net  interest  margin for the fourth  quarter was 3.96%,
which was a decrease over the third quarter's  4.08%. The margin was impacted by
slow loan growth in the fourth quarter,  the flatter yield curve,  and a greater
than anticipated rise in short-term liability costs driven by upward competitive
pressure on retail deposit rates within the company's market areas. In addition,
purchase  price   accounting   adjustments   pursuant  to  the  Ripley  National
transaction had a slight negative impact on the margin. Factoring in the sale of
the Action Finance portfolio,  management currently projects that the margin can
be  maintained  in its current range in 2005. To the extent that the yield curve
remains relatively shallow, it will be difficult to increase the margin.  Should
intermediate and long-term rates rise,  management projects that the margin will
increase.

Operating  Expenses  &  Efficiency  -  On  an  operating  basis,  the  company's
non-interest expense was 2.70% of average assets for the fourth quarter of 2004,
which  compares to 2.64% in the third quarter and 2.75% in the fourth quarter of
2003. The company's  efficiency  ratio for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 55.3%,
compared to 52.5% in the third quarter and 52.8% for the fourth quarter of 2003.
Aided by the Ripley  National  acquisition,  revenues  during the fourth quarter
increased  at a healthy  18.4%  annual  rate.  The revenue  growth was offset by
higher  non-interest  expense  due  primarily  to the  opening of new  branches,
conversion  expenses  related to the company's change of ATM networks during the
quarter, and the addition of Ripley National's operating expenses.

For the year 2004,  the  non-interest  expense to average  assets and efficiency
ratios were 2.69% and 54.1%,  respectively,  versus 2.86% and 55.5% for the year
2003.  With a continued  focus on  controlling  operating  expenses and the full
realization of the cost savings from the Ripley National transaction, management
expects that the non-interest  expense to average assets and efficiency  ratios,
excluding  the potential  short-term  impact of the pending  Lawrence  Financial
Holdings merger, can be maintained at or near their current levels in 2005.

Non-Interest  Income - Non-interest income in the fourth quarter was $2,725,000,
an  increase  of 12.9%  over the third  quarter  and about  equal to the  fourth
quarter of 2003. Leading the linked-quarter increase was growth in excess of 16%
in both gain on sale of loans and  insurance  commissions,  with the increase in
gain on sale of loans  driven by  strong  volume in SBA  lending.  In  addition,
non-interest  income from other sources increased nearly 10% on a linked-quarter
basis,  with the income resulting from the addition of bank-owned life insurance
contributing the bulk of the increase. Offsetting this growth was an increase in
amortization and impairment  expense related to the company's mortgage servicing
rights  (MSRs),  which are  generated  through the  origination  of  residential
mortgages and SBA loans.  The  quarter-over-quarter  comparison  shows a similar
pattern.  Compared  to the fourth  quarter of 2003,  the fourth  quarter of 2004
showed  a 35.7%  increase  in gain on sale  of  loans  and a 15.4%  increase  in
insurance  commissions.  These  increases  were offset by  substantially  higher
expense from amortization and impairment of MSRs.

For the full year 2004,  non-interest income decreased 11.1%. The decline, which
management had expected,  was due to the substantially lower demand for mortgage
loans  following the end of the  refinancing  boom in late 2003.  Offsetting the
resulting year-over-year decrease in gain on sale of loans were strong increases
in service charges, insurance commissions,  and real estate loan servicing fees,
as well as a significant  decrease in  amortization  and impairment of MSRs. For
2005, the company  anticipates that non-interest income overall will continue to
increase, with SBA originations,  brokerage and financial planning services, and
service charges  expected to be the largest  contributors  to growth.  Insurance
commissions are expected to grow more modestly due to changing market conditions
within the group health sector.

Asset Quality - The company's nonperforming  loans/total loans and nonperforming
assets/total  assets ratios  decreased  from 0.93% and 0.87%,  respectively,  at
September 30 to 0.69% and 0.73%,  respectively,  at December 31. The improvement
was resulted primarily from the disposition of the Action Finance portfolio, the
return of one large  nonperforming  loan to performing  status,  and the partial
charge-off of another  large  nonperforming  loan.  The largest of the remaining
nonperforming  loans at December 31 accounts for 0.06% of the nonperforming loan
ratio.  This  loan  was  acquired  with  the  Ripley  National  transaction.   A
foreclosure  sale has been held on this  property,  and it is currently  under a
purchase contract. The sale is expected to close before the end of January at no
loss to the company.  With that sale, the largest remaining  nonperforming  loan
contributed 0.05% to the nonperforming loan ratio. The other nonperforming loans
are a mix of commercial  real estate,  commercial,  residential  real estate and
consumer loans.

The company's Other Real Estate Owned increased  during the fourth quarter as it
purchased through foreclosure the property securing what had previously been its
largest  non-performing  loan.  However,  this  property was sold on January 12,
resulting in a nominal loss of $14,000.

Net  charge-offs  (non-annualized)  for the fourth quarter of 2004 were 0.08% of
average  loans,  up from  0.07% in the third  quarter  and  0.04% in the  fourth
quarter of 2003. For the year 2004, net  charge-offs  were 0.26%, as compared to
the company's  ongoing  objective of 0.20%.  Much of this increase came from the
Action Finance portfolio prior to its sale. With the resolution of the two large
nonperforming assets in January, the company expects the nonperforming ratios to
decline further and,  combined with the  disposition of Action Finance,  the net
charge-off rate should decline as well.



Consistent  with  generally  accepted   accounting   principles  and  regulatory
guidelines,  the company uses various  formulas to determine  its  allowance for
loan and lease losses (ALLL).  The methodology takes into consideration not only
charge-offs  but also the rated  quality of the  company's  loans  based on loan
review grades and the types and amounts of loans comprising the portfolio, while
allowing some  discretion by management to make  adjustments  based on near-term
economic conditions.  With the disposition of the Action Finance portfolio, this
methodology  resulted in an ALLL/total loans ratio of 1.28%,  which has been the
ALLL/total  loans ratio at the company's Oak Hill Banks subsidiary (now its sole
lending affiliate) for the past several quarters.

Asset/Loan  Growth - The  company's  total  assets  grew 6.4%  during the fourth
quarter,  while loans  increased at 4.3%.  Most of these increases came from the
Ripley  National  acquisition.  Excluding  Ripley  National  and the sale of the
Action Finance  portfolio,  assets  increased less than 1% during the quarter as
loan demand slowed in its market areas.  On a stand-alone  basis,  the company's
objectives for 2005 call for  approximately  9% growth in both loans and assets.
When the pending Lawrence Financial merger is included, the objective translates
into 20% total balance sheet growth.

Overall  Strategy - Oak Hill  Financial  will continue to pursue  revenue growth
through  originating  adjustable-rate  commercial loans,  commercial real estate
loans, and residential mortgage loans; fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and
SBA loans for sale in the  secondary  market;  and  consumer  loans.  Management
continues to believe that  commercial and commercial  real estate loans hold the
greatest potential for growth and margin improvement within its bank subsidiary.
Non-interest  income  growth  and  continued   diversification  of  non-interest
revenues are also major elements in the company's strategy.

Expansion - In addition to completing the Ripley National Bank  acquisition,  in
the fourth quarter Oak Hill Financial opened a new  full-service  banking office
in Chillicothe, Ohio, its third in that community. In 2005, the company plans to
open four de novo branches.  The first areas targeted are Mt. Orab,  Ohio, which
is in the same market area as the branches  acquired with Ripley  National,  and
Circleville, Ohio, where the company currently has one branch.

Estimates - Management  has reiterated its estimate that earnings per share from
operations for 2005 will be in the range of $2.60 to $2.70.

Oak Hill  Financial is a financial  holding  company  headquartered  in Jackson,
Ohio. Its subsidiary,  Oak Hill Banks,  operates 30 full-service banking offices
and four bank loan production offices in 15 counties across southern and central
Ohio. A second subsidiary,  Oak Hill Financial Insurance Agency,  provides group
health plans and other insurance services to over 350 business and public-sector
organizations throughout the same region. The company also holds 49% of Oak Hill
Title Agency,  LLC, which provides title services for commercial and residential
real estate transactions.
