Administrative Committee
Oak Hill Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the Plan's net assets available for benefits as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

             Oak Hill Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           December 31, 2001 and 2000


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Oak Hill Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Profit
Sharing Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

1.  General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Oak Hill
Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") who have three consecutive
months of service and have attained age 21. It was established for the purpose
of providing retirement and profit sharing benefits to all eligible employees of
the Company. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Prior to November 1, 2001, a portion of the Plan's
assets were nonparticipant-directed. Effective November 1, 2001, with the
transfer of nonparticipant-directed assets of $4,282,823, the Plan's assets are
entirely participant-directed. Additionally as of November 1, 2001, the Plan was
amended and restated to qualify the Plan under current federal laws and
regulations and the name of the Plan was changed to its current name.

2.  Contributions

Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of pretax annual
compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts
representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined
contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions
into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers
nine mutual funds, two common/collective trust funds (money market) and stock
of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. as investment options for participants. The 401(k)
matching Company contribution is invested as directed by the participants.
Additional profit sharing amounts may be contributed at the option of the
Company's management and are invested in a portfolio of investments as directed
by the participants effective November 1, 2001. Contributions are subject to
certain limitations.

3.  Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocations of (a) the Company's contribution, (b) Plan earnings and (c)
nonvested forfeitures. Administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company.
Allocations are based on each participant's account at the end of the year. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participant's vested account.

4.  Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a
participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
participant's vested interest in his or her account. Any nonvested amounts are
forfeited and allocated to the remaining participants.

                           December 31, 2001 and 2000


NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)

5.  Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions plus actual
earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's contribution portion of their
accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent
vested after six years of credited service, with 20% annual incremental vesting
beginning in year two.

6.  Forfeitures

For the year ended December 31, 2001, forfeited nonvested amounts totaled
$16,794. The amounts were allocated to the remaining participants.


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.
Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the
Plan at year-end.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the settlement date. Dividends
are recorded when received.


NOTE C - INVESTMENTS

The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
Plan's net assets at December 31:

Participant Directed Investments:                      2001              2000

$327,575.

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Participants may invest in stock of Oak Hill Financial, Inc., the Plan sponsor,
and these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.


NOTE E - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their employer contribution


NOTE F - TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated April 4, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.


NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Beginning January 1, 2002, the Plan permits participant plan loans as well as
participant hardship withdrawals. Additionally, the forfeitures from the 401(k)
plan will be used to reduce the employer matching contributions. The profit
sharing forfeitures will continue to be allocated to the remaining participants
who are employed on the last day of the Plan year.
