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 has an equity interest in two minority-owned insurance
companies. The first company, ProFinance Holdings Corporation, was acquired on
October 5, 2000 and is engaged primarily in property and casualty insurance. The
second company, Ohio Valley Financial Services, was acquired on January 10, 2000
as a joint venture with an insurance agency and is engaged primarily in life,
homeowner and auto insurance. Both investments were approved under the
guidelines of the State of Ohio Department of Insurance.

The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking. Loan Central is engaged
in consumer finance. 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 and Loan Central. 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. In addition to originating loans, the Bank
invests 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 82.50% in 2000, 82.38% in 1999 and 80.50% in
1998 of total consolidated revenues. Revenues from interest and dividends on
securities accounted for 9.63%, 10.36% and 12.23% of total consolidated revenues
in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Bank presently has sixteen offices,
all of which offer automatic teller machines. Seven of these offices also offer
drive-up services. The Bank accounted for substantially all of the Registrant's
consolidated assets at December 31, 2000.

The banking business is highly competitive. The market area for the Bank is
concentrated primarily in the Gallia, Jackson, Pike and Franklin Counties of
Ohio as well as the Mason, Kanawha and Cabell 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. Loan Central's market presence further
strengthens the Registrant's ability to compete in Gallia, Jackson and Pike
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. 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 deals 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. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Bank began offering secondary
market real estate loans through the West Virginia Housing Authority to enhance
customer service and loan pricing. 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.

Beginning in December 1996, the Bank began a phase of SuperBank branch
openings with the objective of further enhancing customer service through
extended hours and convenience as well as expanding the new market area of
western West Virginia. From 1996 to 2000, the Bank opened seven SuperBank
facilities within supermarkets and Wal-Mart stores. These new branches service
the market areas of Gallia, Meigs and Lawrence counties in Ohio as well as the
growing Kanawha and Cabell counties in West Virginia.

In 1999, the Bank acquired two Huntington National Bank (HNB) branches in
Milton and Barboursville, West Virginia (Cabell County), with the Milton office
offering a traditional-style service. The Barboursville office, which
represented a SuperBank facility, ceased its operations in 2000 with the opening
of the nearby Huntington SuperBank office located in a Wal-Mart store.

The Registrant acquired Jackson Savings Bank (Jackson), an Ohio
state-chartered savings bank, in December 1998. Jackson then merged its
operations into the Bank on November 11, 2000 with management's objective of
improving operational efficiencies. The Registrant also continued to pursue
other ventures that took advantage of newly enacted federal legislation to
create new products and services. With the advent of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act,
the Registrant participated as an investor in the acquisition of ProFinance
Holdings Corporation, a property and casualty insurance underwriter and
reinsurance company. The acquisition was made possible by combining the
resources of five financial holding companies, a private equity firm and a group
of insurance executives to purchase the insurance company on October 5, 2000. In
addition, the Registrant formed a minority-owned subsidiary called Ohio Valley
Financial Services. The subsidiary, which opened for business on January 2,
2001, is a joint venture insurance agency with an existing insurance agency (The
Wiseman Agency, Inc.) that is located in Jackson, Ohio. Ohio Valley Financial
Services will be able to offer customers life, homeowners and auto insurance.

PART I (continued)

Supervision and Regulation

The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the
Registrant and the Bank. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to such statutes and regulations.

The Registrant is subject to regulation under the BHC Act and 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 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. 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.

In November of 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley, or Financial Services
Modernization Act was enacted, amending the BHC Act, modernizing the laws
governing the financial services industry. This Act authorized the creation of
financial holding companies, a new type of bank holding company with powers
greatly exceeding those of traditional bank holding companies. The Registrant
became a financial holding company during 2000. In order to become a financial
holding company, a bank holding company and all of its depository institutions
must be well capitalized and well managed under federal banking regulations, and
the depository institutions must have received a Community Investment Act rating
of at least satisfactory.

Financial holding companies may engage in a wide variety of financial
activities; any activity in the future not already included in the list that the
Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department consider financial in nature or
incidental to financial activities; and any activity that the Federal Reserve
Board determines complementary to a financial activity and which does not pose a
substantial safety and soundness risk. These activities include securities
underwriting and dealing activities, insurance and underwriting activities and
merchant banking/equity investment activities. Because it has authority to
engage in all financial activities, a financial holding company may have several
affiliates that are functionally regulated by financial regulators other than
the Federal Reserve Board, such as the SEC and state insurance regulators. The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act directs the Federal Reserve Board to rely to the maximum
extent possible on examinations and reports prepared by functional regulators.
The Federal Reserve Board is also prohibited from applying any capital standard
directly to any functionally regulated subsidiary that is already in compliance
with the capital requirements of its functional regulator.

Page 6


PART I (continued)

If a subsidiary bank of a financial holding company fails to be both well
capitalized and well managed, the financial holding company must enter into a
written agreement with the Federal Reserve Board within 45 days to comply with
all applicable capital and management requirements. Until the Federal Reserve
Board determines that the bank is again well capitalized and well managed, the
Federal Reserve Board may impose additional limitations or conditions on the
conduct or activities of the financial holding company or any affiliate that the
Federal Reserve Board finds to be appropriate or consistent with federal banking
laws. If the financial holding company does not correct the capital or
management deficiencies within 180 days, the financial holding company may be
required to divest ownership or control of all banks, including state-chartered
non-member banks and other well capitalized institutions owned by the financial
holding company. If an insured bank subsidiary fails to maintain a satisfactory
rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, the financial holding company may
not engage in activities permitted only to financial holding companies until
such time as the bank receives a satisfactory rating.

In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act fully closes the unitary thrift
loophole which permits commercial companies to own and operate thrifts, reforms
the Federal Home Loan Bank System to significantly increase community banks'
access to loan funding and protects banks from discriminatory state insurance
regulation. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also includes new provisions in the
privacy area, restricting the ability of financial institutions to share
nonpublic personal customer information with third parties.

As an Ohio state-chartered bank, the Bank is supervised and regulated by the
Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. The Bank's deposits 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. The Registrant's
insurance company investments, ProFinance Holdings Corporation and Ohio Valley
Financial Services, are both supervised and regulated by the State of Ohio
Department of Insurance.

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 has 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

Page 7


PART I (continued)

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, are
subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.

The Registrant and the Bank 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.

Page 8


PART I (continued)

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 is a member 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 2000. 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 2001 will be $0.020
per $100 in deposits. Based upon their level of deposits at December 31, 2000,
the projected BIF assessment for the Bank would be $84,744 for 2001.

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

Page 9


PART I (continued)

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, 2000, the
Registrant and its subsidiaries employed 237 full-time equivalent employees.
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.
