Oak Hill Financial Reports 4th Quarter Results

Jackson, Ohio -- Oak Hill Financial,  Inc. (Nasdaq NMS: OAKF) today reported net
earnings  from  operations  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2005 of
$3,438,000,  or $0.60 per  diluted  share.  The  fourth  quarter  2005  earnings
represent a 1.3% increase over the  $3,394,000,  or $0.59 per diluted share,  in
net earnings  from  operations  that the company  recorded for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005,  Oak Hill Financial  recorded net
earnings from operations of $10,923,000, or $1.89 per diluted share, as compared
to the $13,096,000,  or $2.30 per diluted share, in net earnings from operations
for the full year 2004.

The  operating  earnings  for the  fourth  quarter  and full year 2005 have been
adjusted for various non-recurring charges and expense reductions. Including the
non-recurring  items, the company's U.S. GAAP (accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States) net income was  $3,579,000,  or $0.63 per diluted
share,  for the fourth  quarter of 2005 and  $11,379,000,  or $1.97 per  diluted
share,  for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2005,  which  compares to U.S.
GAAP net  income of  $1,053,000,  or $0.18 per  diluted  share,  for the  fourth
quarter of 2004, and $10,662,000,  or $1.87 per diluted share, for the full year
2004.

The company's total assets ended the fourth quarter of 2005 at $1.24 billion, an
increase of 14.6% over the $1.08  billion in total  assets  recorded at December
31, 2004. Net loans at December 31, 2005 were $1.02  billion,  up 11.2% over the
$912.5 million in net loans at December 31, 2004. The year-over-year comparisons
are enhanced by Oak Hill Financial's acquisition of Lawrence Financial Holdings,
Inc. on April 1, 2005. The Lawrence  Financial  transaction added $116.9 million
in assets and $76.5 million in loans to Oak Hill Financial's totals.

Reviewing his company's  performance,  Oak Hill Financial President and CEO R.E.
Coffman,  Jr. said, "On balance, we are pleased with the quarter.  Loans were up
almost 8%  annualized,  and we had strong  growth in several of our core deposit
categories. Although our nonperforming loans are still not where we want them to
be, net charge-offs remained low, and we kept operating expenses in check."

Coffman continued,  "I am very pleased with how our people have responded to the
challenges of 2005. In the past few months, we have taken many positive steps to
position Oak Hill Financial for a successful  future.  In 2006, we will continue
to focus on credit quality, and we are confident that our credit  administration
and special assets teams will reduce our  nonperforming  loans.  Also, we expect
loan growth to be stronger in 2006,  we will remain  rational in our pricing and
prudent in our  underwriting,  and we will not sacrifice the net interest margin
and credit quality for the sake of growth."



"We have  strengthened  our financial  services,  commercial  lending,  mortgage
origination,  and  insurance  areas,  and we expect to see the  results of these
efforts in 2006. We have also been very  successful in increasing  the number of
core deposit  accounts and household  relationships  during the third and fourth
quarters, and we will continue to target these areas. To support our development
efforts,  we are taking our sales training and  monitoring  programs to a higher
level.  We think we have a good sales  culture  now; we intend to turn it into a
great sales culture in 2006."

Key Issue Review and Outlook

Net Interest  Margin - Net interest  margin for the fourth quarter was 3.60%, as
compared  to the  3.96%  posted  in the  fourth  quarter  of 2004 and the  3.72%
recorded for the third quarter of 2005.  The fourth  quarter margin was impacted
by the  sustained  flat yield curve,  which held down asset  yields,  and rising
liability  costs  as  financial  institutions  in  the  company's  market  areas
aggressively  increased deposit rates.  However,  while the margin declined on a
linked-quarter  basis,  it hit the low  point in  October  and  improved  as the
quarter  progressed.  Going  forward,  the  company  will  continue  to  take  a
disciplined  approach to both loan and deposit  pricing to preserve  the margin.
Although continued pressure is likely,  management  believes that the margin can
be maintained at or near its current level.

Operating Expenses - Non-interest expenses from operations were 2.67% of average
assets for the fourth  quarter of 2005,  which  compares to 2.70% for the fourth
quarter  of 2004 and 2.72% for the third  quarter of 2005.  On a  linked-quarter
basis,  compensation  and  benefits,  occupancy,  and  certain  data  processing
expenses  decreased.  These  reductions were offset by increases in professional
fees and various  miscellaneous  expenses.  The company's  efficiency ratio from
operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 58.7%, as compared to 55.3% in the
prior year's quarter and 58.9% in the third quarter of 2005.

For the year 2005,  the  non-interest  expense to average  assets and efficiency
ratios from  operations  were 2.66% and 57.9%,  respectively,  versus  2.69% and
54.2%  for the  year  2004.  With a  continued  focus on  controlling  operating
expenses and further realization of the cost savings from the Lawrence Financial
Holdings  transaction,  management  expects  that the  non-interest  expense  to
average assets and efficiency ratios can be improved in 2006.

Non-Interest  Income - Non-interest  income from  operations,  including gain on
sale of loans, was $3.1 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 13.1% over
the  fourth  quarter  of 2004  and 3.1%  over the  third  quarter  of 2005.  The
linked-quarter  increase was the result of increases in deposit  service charges
and  recovery of  impairment  of mortgage  servicing  rights,  which the company
includes in non-interest  income.  Offsetting the  linked-quarter  increase were
declines in the gain on the sale of loans and investment  services  income and a
loss on the sale of investments.

For the full year 2005,  non-interest  income increased 11.5%, with the increase
due in part to the  Lawrence  Financial  Holdings  acquisition.  For  2006,  the
company  anticipates that non-interest income overall will continue to increase,
with mortgage and SBA originations,  brokerage and financial  planning services,
insurance  commissions,  title services,  and service charges expected to be the
largest contributors to growth.

Asset Quality - At the end of the fourth quarter, the nonperforming  loans/total
loans and  nonperforming  assets/total  assets  ratios  were  1.72%  and  1.45%,
respectively,  as  compared  to the 1.67% and 1.41%,  respectively,  recorded at
September 30, 2005. The increase is due to the movement to nonperforming  status
during the fourth quarter of a $1.0 million commercial real estate loan.

As previously reported, the largest of the company's nonperforming loans remains
a group of commercial  real estate loans from a single  relationship  with a net
carrying value of $5.4 million.  Management believes that further losses on this



relationship  will be minimal.  The second largest of the  nonperforming  loans,
also reported previously, is a $3.4 million commercial real estate loan on which
minimal losses are anticipated.

The company's net charge-offs (non-annualized) were 0.03% of total loans for the
quarter,  as  compared  to 0.02% in the third  quarter  of 2005 and 0.08% in the
fourth quarter of 2004. Going forward, the company expects net charge-offs to be
in line with its historical range of 0.20% to 0.25% annually.

Consistent  with  generally  accepted   accounting   principles  and  regulatory
guidelines,  the company uses various  formulas to determine  its  allowance for
loan losses (ALL). 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.  The  ALL/total  loans  ratio  began the  fourth  quarter  at 1.32%.
Management's  ongoing analysis of the above factors  indicated that an ALL/total
loans ratio of 1.33% was appropriate at December 31.

Asset/Loan Growth - Oak Hill Financial's total assets increased at a 3.8% annual
rate from  September 30 to December  31,  while net loans grew at an  annualized
7.8%. Total deposits  declined slightly as the company allowed maturing brokered
deposits to run-off and  replaced  them with  borrowings.  For 2006,  management
anticipates  moderate  loan growth in the range of the fourth  quarter's  growth
rate.

Stock Buyback - In May 2005, Oak Hill Financial  announced a program under which
it  may  repurchase  up  to  290,000  shares,  or  approximately  5.0%,  of  its
outstanding  common  stock.  The new program  replaced  the  company's  previous
repurchase plan, which was announced in February 2004. During the fourth quarter
of 2005,  Oak Hill  Financial  repurchased  55,400  common  shares under its new
buyback  program.  A total of 269,945  common  shares  were  repurchased  by the
company under its buyback plans during the full year 2005.

Expansion  - On  January 5, the  company's  Oak Hill  Banks  affiliate  opened a
Business  Financial  Center  in the Ohio  community  of  Lancaster  to serve the
lending,  depository,  and  financial  services  needs  of  small  and  mid-size
businesses in that market.  A second Business  Financial Center will open in the
first  quarter in Athens,  Ohio,  where the company  already has a  full-service
banking office.  Also, a new bank branch in Mt. Orab, Ohio, a growing  community
east of Cincinnati,  is currently under  construction and is expected to open in
the second  quarter.  Later in 2006 and into 2007, the company expects to pursue
additional    expansion    opportunities   in   suburban    Columbus   and   the
Cincinnati-Dayton region.

Estimates - Management  estimates  that earnings per share from  operations  for
2006 will be in the range of $2.45 to $2.55.

Oak Hill  Financial is a financial  holding  company  headquartered  in Jackson,
Ohio. Its subsidiary,  Oak Hill Banks,  operates 35 full-service banking offices
and three  bank loan  production  offices in 16  counties  across  southern  and
central Ohio. A second subsidiary, Oak Hill Financial Insurance Agency, provides
group health plans,  benefits  administration,  and other insurance  services to
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.
