PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Oak Hill Financial, Inc.
- ------------------------

Oak Hill Financial, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), is a
bank holding company that engages indirectly in the business of commercial
banking, and other permissible activities closely related to banking and
consumer finance lending, through three wholly owned subsidiaries, Oak Hill
Banks ("Oak Hill"), Towne Bank ("Towne"), (collectively, hereinafter the
"Banks"), and Action Finance Company ("Action"). The Company provides management
and similar services for the Banks and Action. Since it does not itself conduct
any operating businesses, the Company must depend largely upon its subsidiaries
for funds with which to pay the expenses of its operation and, to the extent
applicable, any dividends on its outstanding shares of stock. For further
information see Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
appearing in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated
by reference in response to this item.

The Company was formed in 1981 for the purpose of becoming the parent
holding company of the Bank. The Company is registered as a bank holding company
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, the Company is
subject to strict regulation regarding the acquisition of additional financial
institutions and the conduct, through subsidiaries, of non-banking activities
(see "Regulation").

The Company faces strong competition from both banking and non-banking
institutions. Its banking competitors include local and regional banks and bank
holding companies, as well as some of the largest banking organizations in the
United States. In addition, other types of financial institutions, such as
savings and loan associations and credit unions, also offer a wide range of loan
and deposit services that are directly competitive with those offered by the
Banks. The consumer is also served by brokerage firms and mutual funds that
provide checking services, credit cards, and other services similar to those
offered by the Banks. Major stores compete for loans by offering credit cards
and retail installment contracts. It is anticipated that competition from
non-bank and non-savings and loan organizations will continue to grow.

The range of banking services provided by the Company's subsidiary to
their customers includes commercial lending, real estate lending, consumer
credit, credit card, and other personal loan financing. The Banks operates under
the direction of boards of directors and officers that are separate from the
Company.

On October 1, 1999, the Company combined with Towne Financial
Corporation ("Towne Financial") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Blue Ash
Building and Loan Company ("Blue Ash") in a transaction whereby Towne Financial
merged with and into the Company and Blue Ash, renamed Towne Bank, became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The total consideration paid by the
Company for all of the outstanding stock of Towne Financial was approximately
$16.2 million, based upon the issuance of 917,361 shares of the Company's common
stock. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.


Lending Activities
- ------------------

GENERAL. The Company generally makes loans in southern and central Ohio
where its branches are located. The Company's principal lending activities are
the origination of (I) conventional one-to-four family residential loans, and
(ii) commercial loans, most of which are secured by real estate located in the
Company's primary market area. These loan categories accounted for approximately
86% of the Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 1999. The Company also makes
consumer loans, including installment loans and second mortgages, and offers
credit cards.

LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AND ACTIVITY. The following table sets forth
the composition of the Company's loan portfolio in dollar amounts and in
percentages for each of the last three years, along with a reconciliation to
loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses.

LOANS SECURED BY ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY REAL ESTATE. A significant portion
of the Company's lending activity is the origination of permanent conventional
loans secured by one- to four-family residences located within the Company's
primary market area. The Company typically makes adjustable rate mortgage loans
and holds the loans in portfolio. More than 49% of the Company's portfolio of
permanent conventional mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences
are adjustable rate. The Company also underwrites fixed rate, residential
mortgage loans, and may sell those loans in the secondary market to the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or on a servicing-released basis to
another financial institution.

The Company makes fixed rate loans on one- to four-family residences up
to 95% of the value of the real estate and improvements (the "loan-to-value" or
"LTV") substantially all of which are sold in the secondary market. Residential
real estate loans are offered by the Company for terms of up to 30 years. The
Company requires private mortgage insurance for the amount of such loans in
excess of 80% of the value of the real estate securing such loans.

The aggregate amount of the Company's one-to-four-family residential
real estate loans totaled approximately $223.4 million at December 31, 1999 and
represented 44.0 % of loans at such date. At such date, loans secured by
residential real estate with outstanding balances of approximately $1.5 million,
or 0.7%, of its total one- to four-family residential real estate loan balance,
were more than 90 days delinquent or nonaccruing.

COMMERCIAL LOANS. The Company is also active in commercial lending,
primarily to smaller businesses in the Company's primary market area. These
loans are typically secured by commercial real estate and priced in relation to
the prime rate. Such loans generally have terms of up to 15 years and
loan-to-value ratios of up to 75%. To a much lesser degree, the Company will
also make unsecured commercial loans, which are also typically priced

-4-
5
at spreads to prime and have maturities of up to one year.

Loan officers review the borrower's financial statements, appraisals of
the collateral, and other related documents before recommending funding of a
commercial loan. The loan officer and the approving officer or committee then
determines that there is sufficient income to cover this and other loan
payments, that the collateral is of adequate liquidation value, that the
applicant has a good payment history and is capable of performing the
requirements of the loan. Other reviews and analysis are done as appropriate,
depending upon the complexity of the credit request.

Although a risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, certain
specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans. The
primary risks associated with commercial loans are the quality of the borrower's
management and the impact of national and regional economic factors. The Company
mitigates these risks by maintaining a close working relationship with its
borrowers, by obtaining cross-collateralization and personal guarantees of its
loans, and by diversification within its loan portfolio.

Real estate is frequently a material component of the collateral for
the Company's loans. The expected source of repayment of these loans is
generally the operations of the borrower's business, but the real estate
provides an additional measure of security, particularly when the property is
owner-occupied.. For this reason, real estate is considered additional
collateral on many of the Company's commercial loans.

Risks associated with real estate loans include fluctuating land
values, changes in tax policies, and concentration of loans within the Company's
market area. The Company mitigates these risks by generally providing loans to
experienced commercial real estate owners and developers. The risk is further
mitigated by the number of commercial real estate loans made to the user of the
property.

The aggregate amount of the Company's commercial loans without real
estate as primary or secondary collateral totaled approximately $125.5 million
at December 31, 1999, and represented 58.3% of commercial loans at that date. At
such date, commercial loans that were more than 90 days delinquent or
nonaccruing totaled approximately $1.0 million, or 0.8% of its commercial loan
portfolio. The aggregate amount of the Company's commercial loans with real
estate as primary or secondary collateral was approximately $89.7 million at
December 31, 1999, and at such date, approximately $150,000 in outstanding
balances, or .1% of such loans were delinquent or nonaccruing.

CONSUMER LOANS. The Company offers several consumer loan products,
including installment loans and credit cards.

The Company has a developed working relationships with several car
dealerships in its market area, and is able to do some financing of new and used
cars through these relationships. The Company only finances cars that are six
years old or newer, and requires a down payment of 10.0%. These loans generally
have fixed rates and maturities of three to five years.

To a lesser degree, the Company makes small unsecured loans to
creditworthy individuals. These loans are typically between $2,000 and $5,000,
at fixed rates, with maturities of less than five years. The Company also offers
a home equity loan product and, as a result of consumer demand, a credit card
product to its customers. Both products are underwritten to the same standards
as any of the Company's other consumer loan products.

Loan officers underwrite installment loan and other consumer loan
requests in such a manner to assure compliance with the various regulations and
the Company's underwriting standards. The payment history of applicants is very
important on these smaller loans, and is checked through in-house records as
well as credit bureaus. Normally, collateral, such as an automobile, is taken as
security and the value is checked through the N.A.D.A. book or another valuation
service. Income must be adequate to cover all monthly payments including the
proposed loan.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $75.5 million in
its consumer loan and credit card portfolio, which was 14.9% of the Company's
total loans. Approximately $496,000 of these loans were over 90 days delinquent
or nonaccruing on that date, which represented 0.7% of the portfolio.

LOAN SOLICITATION AND PROCESSING. Loan originations are developed from
a number of sources, including continuing business with depositors, other
borrowers and real estate developers, solicitations by the Company's lending
staff, and walk-in customers.

-5-
6
Underwriting guidelines for all branches and loan types are set by
senior management at the home office. Loan processing and underwriting, however,
are decentralized. Loan applications generally are processed and underwritten at
the branch level. Loan officers and branch managers review the applications, as
well as credit bureau reports, appraisals, financial information, verifications
of income, and other documentation concerning the credit-worthiness of the
borrower, as applicable to each loan type.

Commercial loans are underwritten at the branch level with oversight by
area managers for each county. This decentralization of the loan underwriting
process allows loan officers and branch managers to respond more quickly to
applicants, and better serve customers. The Company benefits by having every
branch manager well trained to originate all types of loans and branches
equipped to better serve their customers and cross-sell the Company's loan
products.

Branch managers have the authority to approve loans up to $120,000
which meet the underwriting criteria set by management, and area managers have
authority for amounts up to $300,000. Any loan greater than $300,000 must be
approved by senior management.

INCOME FROM LENDING ACTIVITIES. The Company earns interest and fee
income from its lending activities. The Company earns fees for originating loans
and for making commitments to originate loans and loan participations. Certain
fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
loan. The Company also receives fees related to existing loans, such as late
charges. Income from loan origination and commitment fees and discounts varies
with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and with competitive and
economic conditions. Note A-4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contains
a discussion of the manner in which fees and income are recognized for financial
reporting purposes.

Nonperforming Loans
- -------------------

GENERAL. Late charges on residential mortgages are assessed by the
Company if a payment is not received either by the 10th day following its due
date or 15th day if the loan has been sold in the secondary market and is being
serviced by the Company. Late charges on installment loans and commercial loans
are assessed by the Company if a payment is not received by the 10th day
following its due date. Any borrower whose payment was not received by this time
is mailed a past due notice. If the loan is still delinquent after a second past
due notice is mailed (generally around the 20th day of delinquency), a branch
employee will attempt to contact the customer to resolve any problem that might
exist.

When an advanced stage of delinquency appears (generally around the
60th day of delinquency) and if repayment cannot be expected within a reasonable
amount of time or a repayment agreement has not been reached, the Banks will
contact an attorney and request that the required 30-day prior notice of
foreclosure or repossession proceedings be prepared and delivered to the
borrower so that, if necessary, foreclosure proceedings may be initiated shortly
after the loan is 90 days delinquent. Historically, this procedure has aided in
achieving a low level of nonperforming loans and, as of December 31, 1999, only
$3.2 million or 0.6% of the Company's total loan portfolio was over 90 days
delinquent or nonaccruing. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's level of
nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.56%.

If a credit card account becomes 10 days delinquent, a notice is sent to
the account holder demanding that the payment be made to bring the account
current. Another notice is sent to the cardholder if the account becomes 20 days
delinquent. If payment is not received within 30 days, authorization requests
are denied, a message about the delinquency appears on the cardholder's account
statement, and a follow-up telephone call is made. These telephone collection
efforts and account statement messages continue until the account is deemed
uncollectible. Legal action is considered during this time. As of December 31,
1999, approximately $21,000 in outstanding balances, or 1.4% of credit card
loans were nonperforming.

On December 31, 1999, the Company held $169,000 in real estate and other
repossessed collateral acquired as a result of foreclosure, voluntary deed, or
other means. Such real estate is classified as "other real estate owned" until
it is sold and is recorded at the lower of cost (the unpaid principal balance at
the date of acquisition plus foreclosure and other related costs) or fair value
less estimated selling expenses. Any subsequent write-down is charged to
expense. Generally, unless the property is a one-to-four family residential
dwelling and well-collateralized, interest accrual ceases in 90 days, but no
later than the date of acquisition. From that date, all costs incurred in
maintaining the property are expensed. "Other real estate owned" is appraised
during the foreclosure process, prior to the time of acquisition, and losses are
recognized for the amount by which the book

-6-
7
value of the related mortgage loan exceeds the estimated net realizable value of
the property.

At December 31, 1999, the Company's investment in impaired loans, as
defined under SFAS No. 114, totaled approximately $65,000, for which an
allowance of $20,000 for actual losses was maintained within the Company's
general allowance.

At December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 the Company had nonperforming
loans totaling $3.2 million, $2.4 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.
Interest income that would have been recognized if such loans had performed in
accordance with contractual terms totaled approximately $287,000, $162,000, and
$121,000, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. There was no
interest income recognized on such loans during any of the periods.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The amount of the allowance for loan losses
is based on management's analysis of risks inherent in the various segments of
the loan portfolio, management's assessment of known or potential problem
credits which have come to management's attention during the ongoing analysis of
credit quality, historical loss experience, current and anticipated economic
conditions and other factors. If actual circumstances and losses differ
substantially from management's assumptions and estimates, such allowance for
loan losses may not be sufficient to absorb all future losses, and net earnings
could be adversely affected. Loan loss estimates are reviewed periodically, and
adjustments, if any, are reported in earnings in the period in which they become
known. In addition, the Company maintains a portion of the allowance to cover
potential losses inherent in the portfolio which have not been specifically
identified.

Although management believes that it uses the best information
available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate at December 31, 1999, future adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary, and net earnings could be affected, if circumstances and/or economic
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. A downturn in the Southeastern Ohio economy and employment
levels could result in the Company experiencing increased levels of
nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased provisions for loan losses and
reductions in income. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance
for loan

-8-

losses. Such agencies may require the recognition of additions to the allowance
based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their
examination.

6 Represents accruing loans delinquent greater than 90 days which are
considered by management to be well secured and in the process of
collection.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no loans that were included in
the nonaccrual, past due 90 days or more or restructured categories, where the
borrowers were experiencing potential credit problems that raised doubts as to
the ability of those borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms.

CLASSIFIED ASSETS. The FDIC regulations on classification of assets
require commercial banks to classify their own assets and to establish
appropriate general and specific allowances for losses, subject to FDIC review.
These regulations are designed to encourage management to evaluate assets on a
case-by-case basis and to discourage automatic classifications. Assets
classified as substandard or doubtful must be evaluated by management to
determine a reasonable general loss reserve to be included in total capital for
purposes of the Banks' risk-based capital requirement, but excluded from core
capital or tangible capital or in capital under generally accepted accounting
principles. Assets classified as loss must be either written off or reserved for
by a specific allowance which is not counted toward capital for purposes of any
of the regulatory capital requirements.

INVESTMENTS. Investment securities primarily satisfy the Company's
liquidity needs and provide a return on residual funds after lending activities.
Pursuant to the Company's written investment policy, investments may be in
interest-bearing deposits, U.S. Government and agency obligations, state and
local government obligations and government-guaranteed mortgage-backed
securities. The Company does not invest in securities which are rated less than
investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. A
goal of the Company's investment policy is to limit interest rate risk wherever
possible.

All securities-related activity is reported to the Board. General
changes in investment strategy must be reviewed and approved by the Board. The
Company's senior management can purchase and sell securities on behalf of the
Company in accordance with the Company's stated investment policy.

BORROWINGS. Deposits and repayment of loan principal are the primary
source of funds for the Company's lending activities and other general business
purposes. However, during periods when the supply of lendable funds cannot meet
the demand for loans, the Company can obtain funds necessary through loans
(advances) from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati. Advances from
the FHLB may be on a secured or unsecured basis depending upon a number of
factors, including the purpose for which the funds are being borrowed and the
total of outstanding advances. The Company typically utilizes FHLB advances to
fund long-term fixed rate commercial loans and to meet short-term liquidity
needs. As of December 31, 1999, the Banks had outstanding FHLB advances totaling
$59.7 million. See Note F to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding FHLB advances. The Company also has
arrangements to borrow funds from commercial banks.

The following table sets forth the maximum amount of the Company's FHLB
advances and other borrowings outstanding at any month end during the periods
shown and the average aggregate balances of FHLB advances and other borrowings
for such periods:

At December 31, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 281
persons on a full-time basis and 25 persons on a part-time basis.

Executive Offices

The Company's executive office is located at 14621 State Route 93,
Jackson, Ohio 45640 and its telephone number is (740) 286-3283.

Subsidiaries
- ------------

The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of Oak Hill Banks, an
Ohio state-chartered bank, which was founded in 1902. The Company owns all of
the outstanding stock of Action Finance Company, a consumer finance company
which was formed in 1998. The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of Towne
Bank, an Ohio state-chartered bank.

Regulation
- ----------

Oak Hill Banks and Towne Bank, as Ohio state-chartered banks, are
subject to supervision and regular examination by the Superintendent of
Financial Institutions of the State of Ohio. The Banks are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are subject to the provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act. To the extent that the information below consists
of summaries of certain statutes or regulations, it is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the statutory or regulatory provisions described.

The Company is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), which requires a bank holding company to
register under the Act and to be subject to supervision and examination by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As a bank holding company, the
Company is required to file with the Board of Governors an annual report and
such additional information as the Board of Governors may require pursuant to
the Act. The Act requires prior approval by the Board of Governors of the
acquisition by a bank holding company, or any subsidiary thereof, of 5% or more
of the voting stock or substantially all the assets of any bank within the
United States.

As a bank holding company located in the State of Ohio, the Company is
not permitted to acquire a bank or other financial institution located in
another state unless such acquisition is specifically authorized by the statutes
of such state. The Act further provides that the Board of Governors shall not
approve any such acquisition that would result in a monopoly or would be in
furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to
monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States, or the
effect of which may be to substantially lessen competition or to create a
monopoly in any section of the country, or that in any other manner would be in
restraint of trade, unless the anti-competitive effects of the proposed
transaction are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect
of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be
served.

The Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions,
from acquiring 5% or more of the voting stock of any company that is not a bank
and from engaging in any business other than banking or performing services for
its banking subsidiary without the approval of the Board of Governors. In
addition, the acquisition of a thrift institution must be approved by the Office
of Thrift Supervision pursuant to the savings and loan holding company
provisions of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933.

On March 13, 2000, the Financial Services Act of 1999, also known as
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, became effective. This legislation repealed certain
cross-industry affiliation prohibitions and made certain other changes to the
Act. It authorized a new form of holding company, a financial holding company,
which with certain exceptions is authorized to undertake activities which are
"financial in nature" and which include banking, insurance and securities
activities. Generally, the scope of activities premitted to a financial holding
company are broader than those previously permitted to a bank holding company. A
bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company. The
Company has not filed such a request. Under the Act, as amended by the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Company continues to be permitted to engage in
certain activities, including mortgage banking, operating small loan companies,
factoring, furnishing certain data processing operations, holding or operating
properties used by banking subsidiaries or acquired for such future use,
providing certain investment and financial advice, leasing (subject to certain
conditions) real or personal property, providing management consulting advice to
certain depository institutions, providing securities brokerage services,
arranging commercial real estate equity financing, underwriting and dealing in
government obligations and money market instruments, providing consumer
financial counseling, operating a collection agency, owning and operating a
savings association, operating a credit bureau and conducting certain real
estate investment activities and acting as insurance agent for certain types of
insurance. Certain other activities, including real estate brokerage and

-13-
14
syndication, land development, and property management not related to credit
transactions, are not permissible.

The Act and the regulations of the Board of Governors prohibit a bank
holding company and its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of
property, or furnishing of services.

The Act also imposes certain restrictions upon dealing by affiliated
banks with the holding company and among themselves including restrictions on
interbank borrowing and upon dealings in respect to the securities or
obligations of the holding company or other affiliates.

The earnings of banks and consumer finance companies, and therefore the
earnings of the Company (and its subsidiaries), are affected by the policies of
regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the
national supply of bank credit in an effort to prevent recession and to restrain
inflation. Among the procedures used to implement these objectives are open
market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on
member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank
deposits. These procedures are used in varying combinations to influence overall
growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use
also may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. 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 continue
to do so in the future. The effect, if any, of such policies upon the future
business and earnings of the Company cannot accurately be predicted. The Company
makes no attempt to predict the effect on its revenues and earnings of changes
in general economic, industrial, and international conditions or in legislation
and governmental regulations.

Business Risks
- --------------

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Form 10-K include certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are
intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those statements
include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding the intent, belief
and expectations of the Company and its management, such as statements
concerning the Company's future profitability. Investors are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without
limitation, factors detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, and any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can
be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K
will prove to be accurate, and in light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a presentation by the Company or any
other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

Growth Strategy. The Company has pursued and continues to pursue a
strategy of growth. The success of the Company's growth strategy will depend
largely upon its ability to manage its credit risk and control its costs while
providing competitive products and services. This growth strategy may present
special risks, such as the risk that the Company will not efficiently handle
growth with its present operations, the risk of dilution of book value and
earnings per share as a result of an acquisition, the risk that earnings will be
adversely affected by the start-up costs associated with establishing new
products and services, the risk that the Company will not be able to attract and
retain qualified personnel needed for expanded operations, and the risk that its
internal monitoring and control systems may prove inadequate.

Control by Management; Anti-Takeover Provisions. Evan E. Davis, John D.
Kidd and D. Bruce Knox (the "Principal Stockholders") own in the aggregate
approximately 31.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In
addition to Ohio and federal laws and regulations governing changes in control
of insured depository institutions, the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
Code of Regulations contain certain provisions which may delay or make more
difficult an acquisition of control of the Company. For example, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation do not exempt the Company from the provisions of
Ohio's "control share acquisition" and "merger moratorium" statutes. Assuming
that the Principal Stockholders continue to retain at least a majority of the
outstanding voting shares of the Company, such ownership position could be
expected to deter any prospective

-14-
15
acquiror from seeking to acquire ownership or control of the Company, and the
Principal Stockholders would be able to defeat any acquisition proposal that
requires approval of the Company's stockholders, if the Principal Stockholders
chose to do so. In addition, the Principal Stockholders may make a private sale
of shares of common stock of the Company which they own, including to a person
seeking to acquire ownership or control of the Company. The Company has
3,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock, par value $ .01 per
share, which may be issued in the future with such rights, privileges and
preferences as are determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. In
December 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted a
stockholder rights plan that contemplates the issuance of rights to purchase
preferred stock of the Company to the Company's common stockholders of record as
of February 17, 1998, as set forth in the Rights Agreement entered into between
the Company and Fifth Third Bank on January 23, 1998.

Limited Trading Market; Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Possible
Volatility of Stock Price. The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "OAKF." During the 12 months ending March 10, 1999, the
average weekly trading volume in the Common Stock has been less than 25,500
shares per week. There can be no assurance given as to the liquidity of the
market for the Common Stock or the price at which any sales may occur, which
price will depend upon, among other things, the number of holders thereof, the
interest of securities dealers in maintaining a market in the Common Stock and
other factors beyond the control of the Company. The market price of the Common
Stock could be adversely affected by the sale of additional shares of Common
Stock owned by the Company's current shareholders. The Principal Shareholders
are permitted to sell certain limited amounts of Common Stock without
registration, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The market price
for the Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in quarterly and yearly operating results, general trends in the
banking industry and other factors. In addition, the stock market can experience
price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of affected companies. These broad fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

Dependence on Management. The Company's success depends to a great
extent on its senior management, including its Chairman, Evan E. Davis;
President, John D. Kidd; Executive Vice President, Richard P. LeGrand; and
Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Operations Officer, H. Tim Bichsel; Chief
Information Officer, D. Bruce Knox; Chief Administrative Officer, David G. Ratz;
Chief Financial Officer, Ronald J. Copher; and Vice President, Ralph E. Coffman,
Jr. The loss of their individual services could have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial stability and its operations. In addition, the
Company's future performance depends on its ability to attract and retain key
personnel and skilled employees, particularly at the senior management level.
The Company's financial stability and its operations could be adversely affected
if, for any reason, one or more key executive officers ceased to be active in
the Company's management. The Company does not own or currently plan to acquire
"key man" life insurance on the lives of any of its key employees.

Competition. Banking institutions operate in a highly competitive
environment. The Company competes with other commercial banks, credit unions,
savings institutions, finance companies, mortgage companies, mutual funds, and
other financial institutions, many of which have substantially greater financial
resources than the Company. Certain of these competitors offer products and
services that are not offered by the Company and certain competitors are not
subject to the same extensive laws and regulations as the Company. Additionally,
consolidation of the financial services industry in Ohio and in the Midwest in
recent years has increased the level of competition. Recent and proposed
regulatory changes may further intensify competition in the Company's market
area.

Holding Company Structure; Government Regulations and Policies. The
Company is a multi-bank holding company, the profitability of which is entirely
dependent on the profitability of the Banks and the upstream payment of
dividends from the Banks to the Company. Under state and federal banking law,
the payment of dividends by the Company and the Banks are subject to capital
adequacy requirements. The inability of the Banks to generate profits and pay
such dividends to the Company, or regulator restrictions on the payment of such
dividends to the Company even if earned, would have an adverse effect on the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Company's
ability to pay dividends to the shareholders.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

The principal asset of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. ("Company") is its
ownership of Oak Hill Banks ("Oak Hill") and Towne Bank ("Towne"), (collectively
hereinafter "Banks"). Accordingly, the Company's results of operations are
primarily dependent upon the results of operations of the Banks. The Oak Hill
and Towne conduct general commercial banking businesses that consist of
attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate
loans for commercial, consumer, and residential purposes.

The Banks' profitability depend primarily on their net interest income,
which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning
assets (i.e., loans and investments) less the interest expense incurred on
interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest
income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates paid on these balances.
Additionally, and to a lesser extent, profitability is affected by such factors
as the level of non-interest income and expenses, the provision for loan losses,
and the effective tax rate. Non-interest income consists primarily of service
charges and other fees and income from the sale of loans. Non-interest expenses
consist of compensation and benefits, occupancy-related expenses, FDIC deposit
insurance premiums, and other operating expenses.

Management's discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial
data are presented herein to assist investors in understanding the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
presented elsewhere in this report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the
Company's financial condition as of December 31, 1999, and the results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to prior periods.
In addition to this historical information, the following discussion and other
sections of this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and
the Company's actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in
the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in
the economy and interest rates in the nation and the Company's general market
area. Without limiting the foregoing, some of the forward-looking statements
include management's establishment of an allowance for loan losses, and its
statements regarding the adequacy of such allowance for loan losses; and
management's belief that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets amounted to $600.1 million as of December
31, 1999, an increase of $47.5 million, or 8.6%, over the $552.6 million total
at December 31, 1998. The increase was funded primarily through growth in
deposits of $23.2 million, an increase in FHLB advances of $23.2 million and an
increase in stockholders' equity of $1.2 million.

Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities
decreased by $52.9 million, or 42.4%, to a total of $71.9 million at December
31, 1999, compared to $124.8 million at December 31, 1998. Investment securities
decreased by $46.4 million, as maturities and repayments of $22.4 million and
sales of $41.0 million exceeded purchases of $22.1 million. Federal funds sold
also decreased by $7.5 million during 1999.

Loans receivable totaled $508.0 million at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $96.7 million, or 23.5%, over total loans at December 31, 1998. Loan
disbursements totaled $324.8 million during 1999, which were partially offset by
loan sales of $30.6 million and principal repayments of $194.9 million. Loan
origination and sales volume decreased by $5.3 million and $47.2 million,
respectively as compared to the same period in 1998. The Company's allowance for
loan losses amounted to $6.1 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.5
million, or 33.8%, over the total at December 31, 1998. The allowance for loan
losses represented 1.19% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 1999, as
compared to 1.10% at December 31, 1998. The Company's allowance represented
192.40% and 191.92% of nonperforming loans, which totaled $3.2 million and $2.4
million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Deposits totaled $488.9 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of
$23.2 million, or 5.0%, over the $465.7 million total at December 31, 1998. The
increase resulted primarily from an increase due to the Towne

-20-
21
merger, combined with management's continuing marketing efforts and competitive
pricing with respect to mid-term certificate of deposit products throughout the
Banks' branch network.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $59.7 million at
December 31, 1999, an increase of $23.2 million, or 63.7%, over the December 31,
1998 total. The proceeds from advances and from growth in deposits were used to
fund the growth in loans.

The Company's stockholders' equity amounted to $47.7 million at
December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.2 million, or 2.5%, over the balance at
December 31, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from net earnings of $4.1
million, which were partially offset by dividends to stockholders of $1.8
million.

SUMMARY OF EARNINGS

The table on page 24 shows for each category of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amount outstanding, the interest
earned or paid on such amount, and the average rate earned or paid for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. The table also shows the average rate
earned on all interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all
interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate spread, and the net interest
margin for the same periods.

Changes in net interest income are attributable to either changes in
average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Volume change is
calculated as change in volume times the old rate, while rate change is
calculated as change in rate times the old volume. The table below indicates the
dollar amount of the change attributable to each factor. The rate/volume change,
the change in rate times the change in volume, is allocated between the volume
change and the rate change at the ratio each component bears to the absolute
value of their total.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1999 AND 1998 FISCAL YEARS

General. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1999, totaled
$4.1 million, a $3.0 million, or 42.0%, decrease from the amount reported in
1998. The decrease in earnings resulted primarily from a $2.9 million increase
in general, administrative and other expense, a $1.2 million increase in the
provision for losses on loans, and a $2.8 million decrease in other income,
which were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in net interest income
and a $1.3 million decrease in the provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1999, amounted to $45.3 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 8.8%, over
the $41.6 million recorded for 1998. Interest income on loans totaled $39.4
million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 6.4%, over the 1998 period. This
increase resulted primarily from a $62.8 million, or 16.2%, increase in the
average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year, which was partially offset
by an 81 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 8.76% in 1999 from 9.57%
in 1998. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning
assets increased by $1.3 million, or 27.9%. The increase resulted primarily from
a 159 basis point increase in the average yield, from 4.25% in 1998 to 5.84% in
1999, which was partially offset by a $7.4 million, or 6.9%, decrease in the
average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year.

Total interest expense amounted to $22.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.1%, over the $21.3 million
recorded in 1998. Interest expense on deposits increased by $31,000, or 0.2%, to
a total of $19.4 million in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from a $70.5
million, or 17.7%, increase in the average portfolio balance outstanding
year-to-year, which was partially offset by a 72 basis point decrease in the
average cost of deposits, to 4.14% in 1999 from 4.86% in 1998. Interest expense
on borrowings increased by $1.0 million, or 54.0%, during 1999. This increase
was due to a $22.5 million increase in average borrowings outstanding, which was
partially offset by a 62 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings,
to 5.52% in 1999 compared to 6.14% in 1998.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 12.7%, for the year
ended December 31, 1999, as compared to 1998. The interest rate spread decreased
by 6 basis points to 3.41% in 1999 compared to 3.47% in 1998, while the net
interest margin increased by 6 basis points from 4.10% in 1998 to 4.16% in 1999.

-21-
22
Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for losses on loans
represents a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance at a level management
believes is adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. The Company's
provision for losses on loans amounted to $2.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.2 million, or 92.1%, compared to the same
period in 1998. The provision for losses on loans in 1999 generally reflects the
$96.7 million of growth in the loan portfolio over the year. The Company's loan
growth in 1999 was comprised primarily of a $56.5 million, or 21.5%, increase in
loans secured by residential real estate and a $34.7 million, or 37.9%, increase
in commercial and other loans. Gross loan charge-offs amounted to $1.1 million
in 1999, as compared to $829,000 in 1998.

Although management believes that it uses the best information
available in providing for possible loan losses and believes that the allowance
is adequate at December 31, 1999, future adjustments to the allowance could be
necessary and net earnings could be affected if circumstances and/or economic
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations.

Other Income. Other income totaled $408,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999, a decrease of $2.8 million, from the amount recorded in 1998. This
decrease resulted primarily from a $2.1 million loss on sale of securities as
compared to a $281,000 gain on sale of securities in the 1998 period and a
$941,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, which were partially offset by a
$522,000, or 33.7%, increase in service fees, charges, and other operating
income.

General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative, and
other expenses totaled $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an
increase of $2.9 million, or 24.2%, over the 1998 total. The increase resulted
primarily from expenses of $1.1 million incurred in connection with the
previously mentioned Towne merger, including $623,000 for the cost of employee
severance pay related thereto. In addition there was a $1.2 million, or 18.4%,
increase in employee compensation and benefits, a $557,000, or 18.7%, increase
in other operating expenses, and an increase of $9,000 in Federal deposit
insurance premiums, which were partially offset by decreases of $8,000 and
$28,000 in occupancy and equipment and franchise taxes, respectively.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits resulted primarily
from increased staffing levels required in connection with the establishment of
new branch locations and additional management staffing, combined with normal
merit increases. The increase in other operating expense resulted primarily from
increases in professional fees and costs attendant to the continued reporting
requirements of a public company, as well as, increases in expenses related to
the Company's overall growth and continuing marketing efforts year-to-year.

Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes amounted
to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $1.3
million, or 39.0%, from the $3.4 million recorded in 1998. The decrease resulted
primarily from a $4.3 million, or 41.0%, decrease in earnings before taxes. The
effective tax rates were 33.8% and 32.7% for the year ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR 1998 AND 1997 FISCAL YEARS

General. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $7.0
million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 58.7%, over the amount reported in
1997. The increase in earnings resulted primarily from a $2.8 million increase
in net interest income and a $1.6 million increase in other income, which were
partially offset by a $974,000 increase in provision for federal income taxes, a
$730,000 increase in general, administrative, and other expenses, and a $95,000
increase in provision for losses on loans.

Net Interest Income. Total interest income for the year ended December
31, 1998, amounted to $41.6 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 15.3%, over
the $36.1 million recorded for 1997. Interest income on loans totaled $37.0
million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 16.8%, over the 1997 period. This
increase resulted primarily from a $64.3 million, or 19.9%, increase in the
average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year, which was partially offset
by a 26 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 9.57% in 1998 from 9.83%
in 1997. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning
assets increased by $191,000, or 4.4%, to a total of $4.6 million in 1998, as
compared to $4.4 million in 1997. The increase resulted primarily from an $11.4
million increase in the average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year,
which was partially offset by a 31 basis point decrease in the average yield, to
4.25% in 1998 from 4.56% in 1997.

-22-
23
Total interest expense amounted to $21.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, an increase of $2.7 million, or 14.6%, over the $18.6 million
recorded in 1997. Interest expense on deposits increased by $3.1 million, or
19.1%, to a total of $19.4 million in 1998. The increase resulted primarily from
a $61.2 million, or 18.1%, increase in the average portfolio balance outstanding
year-to-year, coupled with a 4 basis point increase in the average costs of
deposits, from 4.82% in 1997 to 4.86% in 1998. Interest expense on borrowings
decreased by $391,000, or 16.7% during 1998. This decrease was due to a $6.2
million decrease in average borrowings outstanding, coupled with a 2 basis point
decrease in the average cost of borrowings, to 6.14% in 1998 from 6.16% in 1997.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest
expense, net interest income increased by $2.8 million, or 16.0%, for the year
ended December 31, 1998, as compared to 1997. The interest rate spread decreased
by 21 basis points to 3.47% in 1998 from 3.68% in 1997, while the net interest
margin decreased by 7 basis points to 4.10% in 1998 from 4.17% in 1997.

Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for losses on loans
represents a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance at a level management
believes is adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. The Company's
provision for losses on loans amounted to $1.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1997, an
increase of $95,000, or 8.1%. The provision for losses on loans in 1998
increased primarily as a result of the $50.4 million of growth in the loan
portfolio over the year. Gross loan charge-offs amounted to $829,000 in 1998, as
compared to $492,000 in 1997.

Other Income. Other income totaled $3.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, an increase of $1.6 million, or 97.6%, over the amount
recorded in 1997. This increase resulted primarily from a $1.2 million increase
in gain on sale of loans, a $314,000 increase in gain on sale of investments and
other assets, and a $123,000 increase in service fees, charges and other
operating income.

General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative, and
other expenses totaled $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an
increase of $730,000, or 6.6%, over the $11.1 million recorded in 1997. The
increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.1 million, or 19.6%, in
employee compensation and benefits, a $317,000, or 11.9%, increase in other
operating expenses, and a $118,000, or 7.6%, increase in occupancy and
equipment, which were partially offset by a decrease of $920,000 in
merger-related expenses. Federal deposit insurance premiums and franchise taxes
also increased $9,000 and $151,000, respectively for the year ended December 31,
1998.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits resulted primarily
from increased staffing levels required in connection with the establishment of
new branch locations in 1998 combined with normal merit increases. Additionally,
the opening of new branch facilities was responsible for the increase in
occupancy and equipment expense. The increase in other operating expense
resulted primarily from costs attendant to the continued reporting requirements
of a public company, as well as increases in expenses related to the Company's
growth year-to-year.

Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes amounted
to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $974,000,
or 39.9%, over the $2.4 million recorded in 1997. The increase resulted
primarily from a $3.6 million, or 52.0%, increase in earnings before taxes. The
effective tax rates were 32.7% and 35.5% for December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Like other financial institutions, the Company must ensure that
sufficient funds are available to meet deposit withdrawals, loan commitments,
and expenses. Control of the Company's cash flow requires the anticipation of
deposit flows and loan payments. The Company's primary sources of funds are
deposits, borrowings and principal and interest payments on loans. The Company
uses funds from deposit inflows, proceeds from borrowings and principal and
interest payments on loans primarily to originate loans, and to purchase
short-term investment securities and interest-bearing deposits.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had $232.1 million of certificates of
deposit maturing within one year. It has been the Company's historic experience
that such certificates of deposit will be renewed at market rates of interest.
It is management's belief that maturing certificates of deposit over the next
year will similarly be renewed at market rates of interest without a material
adverse effect on the results of operations.

-23-
24
In the event that certificates of deposit cannot be renewed at
prevalent market rates, the Company can obtain up to $163.3 million in advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). Also, as an operational
philosophy, the Company seeks to obtain advances to help with asset/liability
management and liquidity. At December 31, 1999, the Company had $59.7 million of
outstanding FHLB advances.

At December 31, 1999, loan commitments, or loans committed but not
closed, totaled $29.6 million. Additionally, the Company had unused lines of
credit and letters of credit totaling $75.3 million and $731,000, respectively.
Funding for these amounts is expected to be provided by the sources described
above. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to meet its normal
funding requirements.

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires entities to
recognize all derivatives in their financial statements as either assets or
liabilities measured at fair value.

SFAS No. 133 specifies new methods of accounting for hedging
activities, prescribes the items and transactions that may be hedged, and
specifies detailed criteria to be met to qualify for hedging accounting.

The definition of a derivative financial instrument is complex, but in
general, it is an instrument with one or more underlyings, such as an interest
rate or foreign exchange rate, that is applied to a notional amount, such as an
amount of currency, to determine the settlement amount(s). It generally requires
no significant initial investment and can be settled net or by delivery of an
asset that is readily convertible to cash. SFAS No. 133 applies to derivatives
embedded in other contracts, unless the underlying of the embedded derivative is
clearly and closely related to the host contract. SFAS No. 133, as amended by
SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. On
adoption, entities are permitted to transfer held-to-maturity debt securities to
an available-for-sale or trading category without calling into question their
intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. SFAS No. 133 is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

OTHER MATTERS/YEAR 2000 ISSUES

As with all providers of financial services, the Company's operations
are heavily dependent on information technology systems. During the three year
period leading up to January 1, 2000, the Company addressed the potential
problems associated with the possibility that the computers that control or
operate their information technology system and infrastructure may not have been
programmed to read four-digit dates codes and upon arrival of the year 2000, may
have recognized the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900, causing systems to
fail to function or to generate erroneous data.

The Company incurred approximately $120,000 in costs, most of which
were capitalized, to ensure year 2000 readiness. The Company did not experience
any technology-related problems upon arrival of January 1, 2000, nor was there
any interruption of services to its customers.

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ----------------------------------------

On October 1, 1999, the Company combined with Towne Financial
Corporation ("Towne Financial") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Blue Ash
Building and Loan Company ("Blue Ash") in a transaction whereby Towne Financial
merged with and into the Company and Blue Ash, renamed Towne Bank, became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have
been restated to reflect the effects of the business combination as of January
1, 1997. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company issued 917,361 shares of
common stock in exchange for the shares of Towne.

The business activities of Oak Hill Financial, Inc. ("Company") have
been limited primarily to holding the common shares of Oak Hill Banks ("Oak
Hill") and Towne Bank ("Towne"), (collectively hereinafter "Banks").
Accordingly, the Company's results of operations are dependent upon the results
of the Banks' operations. The Banks conduct a general commercial banking
business in southern and central Ohio which consists of attracting deposits from
the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for
commercial, consumer and residential purposes. The Banks' profitability is
significantly dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between
interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and
investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities
(i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by
the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates
paid or received by the Banks' can be significantly influenced by a number of
competitive factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of
management's control.

The consolidated financial information presented herein has been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In
preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting
policies which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oak Hill, Towne and Action Finance
Company ("Action"). Action was incorporated for the purpose of conducting
consumer finance lending operations. Action began such operations during 1998
using two separate office locations. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company accounts for investment securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that
investments be categorized as held to maturity, trading, or available for sale.
Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost only if the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to
maturity. Trading securities and securities available for sale are carried at
fair value with resulting unrealized gains or losses recorded to operations or
stockholders' equity, respectively. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's
stockholders' equity reflected a net unrealized loss on securities designated as
available for sale, net of applicable tax effects, totaling $1.6 million and a
net unrealized gain on securities designated as available for sale, net of
applicable tax effects, totaling $144,000, respectively.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized using
the specific identification method.

3. LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans held in portfolio are stated at the principal amount outstanding,
adjusted for premiums and discounts on loans purchased and sold and the
allowance for loan losses. Premiums and discounts on loans purchased and sold
are amortized and accreted to operations using the interest method over the
average life of the underlying loans.

Interest is accrued as earned unless the collectibility of the loan is
in doubt. Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is
charged off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic
evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to
all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to
the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the
borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments has returned
to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market,
determined in the aggregate. Loans held for sale are identified at the point of
origination. In computing lower of cost or market, deferred loan origination
fees are deducted from the principal balance of the related loan. All loan sales
are made without further recourse to the Company. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
loans held for sale were carried at cost.

The Banks generally retain servicing on loans sold and agree to remit
to the investor loan principal and interest at agreed-upon rates. Mortgage
servicing rights are accounted for pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities," which requires that the Company recognize as separate assets,
rights to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how those servicing
rights are acquired. An institution that acquires mortgage servicing rights
through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells those
loans with servicing rights retained must allocate some of the cost of the loans
to the mortgage servicing rights.

SFAS No. 125 requires that capitalized mortgage servicing rights and
capitalized excess servicing receivables be assessed for impairment. Impairment
is based on fair value. The mortgage servicing rights recorded by the Company,
calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 125, were segregated
into pools for valuation purposes, using as pooling criteria the loan term and
coupon rate. Once pooled, each grouping of loans was evaluated on a discounted
earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that a
purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio. Earnings were projected
from a variety of sources including loan servicing fees, interest earned on
float, net interest earned on escrows, miscellaneous income, and costs to
service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the "economic" value
of the pool, i.e., the net realizable present value to an acquirer of the
acquired servicing.

The Company recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights
totaling approximately $174,000, $112,000 and $14,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
the carrying value and fair value of the Banks' mortgage servicing rights
totaled approximately $1.0 million and $841,000, respectively.

4. LOAN ORIGINATION AND COMMITMENT FEES

The Company accounts for loan origination fees and costs in accordance
with SFAS No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with
Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases". Pursuant to
the provisions of SFAS No. 91, all loan origination fees received, net of
certain direct origination costs, are deferred on a loan-by-loan basis and
amortized to interest income using the interest method, giving effect to actual
loan prepayments. Additionally, SFAS No. 91 generally limits the definition of
loan origination costs to the direct costs attributable to originating a loan,
i.e., principally actual personnel costs.

Fees received for loan commitments are deferred and amortized over the
life of the related loan using the interest method.

For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997


5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

It is the Company's policy to provide valuation allowances for
estimated losses on loans based upon past loss experience, trends in the level
of delinquent and specific problem loans, adverse situations that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral
and current and anticipated economic conditions in the Banks' primary market
areas. When the collection of a loan becomes doubtful, or otherwise troubled,
the Company records a loan loss provision equal to the difference between the
fair value of the property securing the loan and the loan's carrying value.
Major loans and major lending areas are reviewed periodically to determine
potential problems at an early date. The allowance for loan losses is increased
by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". This Statement requires
that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as an
alternative, at the loans observable market price or fair value of the
collateral.

A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In
applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Company considers its investment in
one-to-four family residential loans, consumer installment loans and credit card
loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for
evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Company's investment in commercial
and other loans, and its evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are
collateral dependent and as a result are carried as a practical expedient at the
lower of cost or fair value.

It is the Company's policy to charge off unsecured credits that are
more than ninety days delinquent. Similarly, collateral dependent loans which
are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than a
minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 114
at that time.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had investment in impaired loans, as
defined under SFAS No. 114, totaling approximately $65,000, for which an
allowance for actual losses was maintained within the Company's general
allowance for loan losses totaling $20,000. At December 31, 1998, the Company
had no loans that would be defined as impaired under SFAS No. 114.

6. OFFICE PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, estimated to
be ten to fifty years for buildings and improvements and three to twenty-five
years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

7. REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED THROUGH FORECLOSURE

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the
loan's unpaid principal balance (cost) or fair value less estimated selling
expenses at the date of acquisition. The loan loss allowance is charged for any
write down in the loan's carrying value to fair value at the date of
acquisition. Real estate loss provisions are recorded if the properties' fair
value subsequently declines below the value determined at the recording date. In
determining the lower of cost or fair value at acquisition, costs relating to
development and improvement of property are considered. Costs relating to
holding real estate acquired through foreclosure, net of rental income, are
charged against earnings as incurred.

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for federal income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."

-40-
41
OAK HILL FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997


Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax liability or
deferred tax asset is computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to
net taxable or deductible temporary differences between the tax basis of an
asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial
statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods.
Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net
deductible temporary differences or carryforward attributes may be utilized
against current period earnings, carried back against prior years earnings,
offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods, or
utilized to the extent of management's estimate of future taxable income. A
valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the
value of net deductible temporary differences and carryforward attributes
exceeds management's estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income.
Deferred tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary
differences taxable in the future.

The Company's principal temporary differences between pretax financial
income and taxable income result primarily from the different methods of
accounting for deferred loan origination fees and costs, Federal Home Loan Bank
stock dividends, capitalized mortgage servicing rights, certain components of
retirement expense and the allowance for loan losses. A temporary difference is
also recognized for depreciation expense computed using accelerated methods for
federal income tax purposes.

9. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL

Goodwill arising from an acquisition is being amortized to operations
using the straight-line method over a fifteen year period. Management
periodically evaluates the carrying value of goodwill in relation to the
continuing earnings capacity of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, both assets and
liabilities whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial
instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based
on estimates using present value and other valuation methods.

The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the
fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an
exchange for certain financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments at December 31,
1999 and 1998.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The carrying amounts presented in the
consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are
deemed to approximate fair value.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD. The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated
statements of financial condition for federal funds sold are deemed to
approximate fair value.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES. For investment securities, fair value is deemed
to equal the quoted market price.

LOANS RECEIVABLE. The loan portfolio has been segregated into
categories with similar characteristics, such as one-to-four family residential
real estate, multi-family residential real estate, commercial and installment
and other. These loan categories were further delineated into fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories were
computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using current interest rates offered
for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The
historical carrying amount of accrued interest on loans is deemed to approximate
fair value.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK. The carrying amount presented in the
consolidated statements of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair
value.

For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997


DEPOSITS. The fair value of NOW accounts, savings accounts, demand
deposits, money market deposits and other transaction accounts is deemed to
approximate the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Fair
values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit have been estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation using the interest rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.

ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK. The fair value of advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank has been estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis, based on the interest rates currently offered for advances of similar
remaining maturities.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE. The fair value of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase is deemed to approximate fair
value.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT. For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan
commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current
levels of interest rates and committed rates. The difference between the fair
value and notional amount of outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 1999
and 1998, was not material.

Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and
fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average
shares outstanding during the year. Weighted-average common shares outstanding
totaled 5,290,140, 5,258,180, and 5,256,408 for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is computed
taking into consideration common shares outstanding and dilutive potential
common shares to be issued under the Company's stock option plan.
Weighted-average common shares deemed to be outstanding for purposes of
computing diluted earnings per share totaled 5,403,130, 5,404,684, and 5,338,993
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

respectively. Options to purchase 152,875 and 110,625 shares of common stock
with a weighted-average exercise price of $16.62 and $18.00 were outstanding at
December 31, 1999 and 1997, respectively, but were excluded from the computation
of common share equivalents because their exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common shares.

12. CAPITALIZATION

The Company's lending efforts have historically focused on real estate
mortgages and consumer installment loans, which comprised approximately $386.4
million, or 76%, of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 1999, and
approximately $322.9 million, or 79%, of the total loan portfolio at December
31, 1998. Historically, such loans have been conservatively underwritten with
sufficient collateral or cash down payments to provide the Company with adequate
collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Company, as with
any lending institution, is subject to the risk that real estate values or
economic conditions could deteriorate in its primary lending areas within Ohio,
thereby impairing collateral values. However, management is of the belief that
real estate values and economic conditions in the Company's primary lending
areas are presently stable.

As stated previously, the Company has sold whole loans and
participating interests in loans in the secondary market, retaining servicing on
the loans sold. Loans sold and serviced for others totaled approximately $118.1
million, $112.2 million, and $75.0 million at December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

based on the amount of income taxes subject to recovery in carryback years.

NOTE H -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- ------------------------------------

In the normal course of business, the Company has made loans to its
directors, officers, and their related business interests. In the opinion of
management, such loans are consistent with sound banking practices and are
within applicable regulatory lending limitations. The balance of such loans
outstanding at December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 totaled approximately $2.7
million, $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The Company had also received demand and time deposits of approximately
$10.5 million, $18.4 million, and $5.3 million at December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997 from directors, officers and their related business interests.

NOTE I -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
- --------------------------------

The Company has a profit-sharing and 401(k) plan covering all employees
who have attained the age of twenty-one and completed one full year of service.
The profit-sharing plan is non-contributory and contributions to the plan are at
the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $165,000 and
$123,000 to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company did not contribute to the plan for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

OAK HILL FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997


The 401(k) plan allows employees to make voluntary, tax-deferred
contributions up to 15% of their base annual compensation. The Company provides,
at its discretion, a 50% matching of funds for each participant's contribution,
subject to a maximum of 6% of base compensation. For 1998 and 1997, if the
participant elected to invest their contributions in the common stock of Oak
Hill Financial, Inc., the Company provided a 100% matching of each participant's
contribution. The Company's matching contributions under the 401(k) plan totaled
$99,000, $175,000 and $122,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997, respectively.

Towne Bank had established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
which was to provide retirement benefits for substantially all employees who had
completed six months of service and had attained the age of twenty-one. The ESOP
originally borrowed $207,000 from an independent third-party lender, payable
over a seven year period, to purchase stock. The sole security of the loan was
the acquired stock and, while Towne had not guaranteed the loan, future
contributions to retire the loan were paid to the ESOP from retained earnings.
During 1999, the loan was repaid in full. Towne recognized expenses totaling
$15,000, $30,000 and $29,000 related to the ESOP for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management anticipates termination of
Towne's ESOP during 2000.

NOTE J -- COMMITMENTS
- ---------------------

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers, including commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the statement of financial condition. The contract or
notional amounts of the commitments reflect the extent of the Company's
involvement in such financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as those utilized for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding commitments of
approximately $29.6 million to originate variable rate residential and
commercial loans. Also, the Company had unused lines of credit and letters of
credit totaling approximately $75.3 million and $731,000, respectively, as of
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, outstanding loan commitments
equaled or exceeded prevalent market interest rates as of December 31, 1999,
such commitments were underwritten in accordance with normal loan underwriting
policies, and all disbursements will be funded via cash flow from operations and
existing excess liquidity.

The Company has also entered into lease agreements for office premises
and equipment under operating leases which expire at various dates through 2009.
The following table summarizes minimum payments due under lease agreements by
year:

NOTE K -- REGULATORY CAPITAL
- ----------------------------

Oak Hill and Towne are subject to the regulatory capital requirements
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly
additional discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have direct material effect on the Banks' financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks' capital accounts
and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The FDIC has adopted risk-based capital guidelines to which the Banks
are subject. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that
makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk
profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined
by allocating assets and specified off-balance-sheet commitments to four
risk-weighting categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the
categories perceived as representing greater risk.

These guidelines divide the capital into two tiers. The first tier
("Tier 1") includes common equity, certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred
stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity accounts
of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets
(except mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships,
subject to certain limitations). Supplementary ("Tier 2") capital includes,
among other items, cumulative perpetual and long-term limited-life preferred
stock, mandatory convertible securities, certain hybrid capital instruments,
term subordinated debt, and the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain
limitations, less required deductions. Banks are required to maintain a total
risk-based capital (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) ratio of 8%, of which
4% must be Tier 1 capital. The FDIC may, however, set higher capital
requirements when particular circumstances warrant. Banks experiencing or
anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital ratios,
including tangible capital positions, well above minimum required levels.

During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, each of the Banks
was notified by its primary federal regulator that it was categorized as
"well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
To be categorized as "well-capitalized" the Banks must maintain minimum Tier 1
capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 6%, 10%, and
5%, respectively.

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, management believes that Oak Hill and
Towne have met all of the capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject. The Banks' Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier 1
leverage ratios at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are set forth in the following
table.

The Company's management believes, that under the current regulatory
capital regulations, the Banks will continue to meet their minimum capital
requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of
the Company, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in
the primary market areas, could adversely affect future earnings and
consequently, the ability to meet future minimum regulatory capital
requirements.

NOTE L -- STOCK OPTION PLAN
- ---------------------------

The Company initiated a Stock Option Plan in August 1995 (the "1995
Plan") that provided for the issuance of 500,000 shares of authorized, but
unissued shares of common stock. In 1999, the Company amended and restated the
1995 Plan to provide for an additional 300,000 shares of authorized, but
unissued shares of common stock, which now totals 800,000 shares. The Company
accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for
valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.
Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to
account for stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB
Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option
plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under
the plan consistent with the accounting method utilized in SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below:

respectively: dividend yield of 2.5% for 1999 and 4.0% for 1998 and 1997 and
expected volatility of 10.0% for all years, risk-free interest rates of 6.00%,
5.50% and 5.50%, and expected lives of six years.
