                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries The Ohio Valley Bank Company
and Loan Central,  Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim  financial  statements are prepared  without audit and reflect all
adjustments of a normal  recurring  nature which,  in the opinion of Management,
are  necessary to present  fairly the  consolidated  financial  position of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. at September 30, 1997,  and its results of operations and cash
flows  for  the  periods  presented.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  do not purport to contain all the  necessary  financial  disclosures
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  that might otherwise be
necessary in the circumstances. The Annual Report for Ohio Valley Banc Corp. for
the year ended December 31, 1996, contains consolidated financial statements and
related  notes  which  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

The  provision  for  income  taxes is based upon the  effective  income tax rate
expected to be applicable for the entire year.

For  consolidated  financial  statement  classification  and cash flow reporting
purposes,  cash and cash equivalents  include cash on hand,  noninterest-bearing
deposits with banks and federal funds sold. For the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 and  September  30, 1996,  Ohio Valley Banc Corp.  paid interest in the
amount of $10,003,007  and $9,449,762,  respectively.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and September  30, 1996,  Ohio Valley Banc Corp.  paid income
taxes of $1,160,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average shares  outstanding
during the period. On April 9, 1997, the Board of Directors  declared a four for
three stock split to  shareholders  of record on April 21, 1997. The stock split
was  recorded by  transferring  from  retained  earnings an amount  equal to the
stated value of the shares issued. Earnings and cash dividends per share amounts
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split.

On April 9, 1997, the shareholders approved a proposal to fix the stated capital
of the common  shares of the Company at one dollar per share,  a change from ten
dollars per share previously applied.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results
        Results of Operations.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Ohio
Valley Banc Corp. at September 30, 1997,  compared to December 31, 1996, and the
consolidated  results of operations for the year-to-date  and quarterly  periods
ending September 30, 1997,  compared to the same periods in 1996. The purpose of
this  discussion is to provide the reader a more thorough  understanding  of the
consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the interim consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in
this Form 10-Q.

The  Registrant is not aware of any trends,  events or  uncertainties  that will
have or are  reasonably  likely  to have a  material  effect  on the  liquidity,
capital resources or operations except as discussed herein. Also, the Registrant
is not aware of any current  recommendations  by  regulatory  authorities  which
would have such effect if implemented.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Ohio Valley Banc Corp.'s  consolidated  total assets grew by $24,682,000 or 7.2%
for the first nine  months of 1997 to reach  $365,605,000.  Contributing  to the
growth  in  assets  were  the  increases  in loan  balances  of  $9,881,000  and
investment  balances of  $5,127,000.  Funding the growth in assets were gains in
total  deposits  of  $16,671,000  and in  securities  sold under  agreements  to
repurchase of $6,405,000.

For the first nine months of 1997,  mortgage loans  expanded  $4,905,000 or 4.3%
followed by consumer loan growth of  $3,027,000  and  commercial  loan growth of
$1,898,000.  The ratio of loans to deposits  was 88.4% at  September  30,  1997,
compared to 90.1% at December  31,  1996.  Loans past due more than 90 days plus
loans placed on  nonaccrual  status were  approximately  $3,757,000  or 1.42% of
outstanding  balances at September 30, 1997,  compared to $2,944,000 or 1.16% of
outstanding  balances at the end of 1996.  As a percentage  of total loans,  the
allowance  for loan  losses at  September  30,  1997 was 1.22%  versus  1.21% at
December 31, 1996.  Management  utilizes an extensive  system of evaluating  the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses  quarterly.  Consequently,  management
anticipates that it will continue its provision to the allowance for loan losses
at its current  level for the  foreseeable  future and believes the allowance is
adequate to absorb inherent losses in the portfolio based on collateral  values.
In  addition,  the  majority of the loan growth has  occurred in mortgage  loans
which are  generally  well  secured and consumer  loans which are lower  balance
loans made to many different borrowers.

Total  investment  securities  increased 7.7% from December 31, 1996. The growth
occurred in U.S. Government agencies and state and municipal bonds, which are up
$2,969,000  and  $1,003,000.  The fair market value of the  portfolio was higher
than the amortized cost by $712,000 at September 30, 1997 compared to a $559,000
unrealized  gain at  December  31,  1996.  Within the  Company's  portfolio  are
securities  which are considered to be structured  notes.  Structured  notes are
debt  securities   other  than   mortgage-backed   securities  whose  cash  flow
characteristics depend on one or more indices and/or that have embedded forward,
put or call options.  The investment portfolio contains $6,000,000 of structured
notes which  represents  8% of the entire  portfolio.  The fair market  value of
these securities was less than the amortized cost by $23,000 or .4%.  $6,500,000
of the  structured  notes  matured  during  the first nine  months of 1997.  The
remaining  $6,000,000 will mature by April 1998.  Management has the ability and
presently  intends to hold these securities to maturity.  The Company has had no
sales of investment securities during 1997 and does not anticipate any sales.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Total deposits at September 30, 1997, of $298,496,000  represents an increase of
5.9% from  December  31, 1996.  Time  deposits  accounted  for a majority of the
growth by increasing  $11,266,000 or 6.5%. Savings and  interest-bearing  demand
deposits are up 4.4% and demand deposits are up 6.2%.

Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  increased  $6,405,000  from
December 31, 1996. Other borrowed funds are primarily  advances from the Federal
Home  Loan  Bank  (FHLB),  which  are used to fund  loan  growth  or  short-term
liquidity needs. Other borrowed funds are down $3,247,000 from December 31, 1996
due to the repayment of short-term borrowings.

Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1997 of $32,905,000 was 8.3% greater
than the balance of  $30,378,000  on December  31,  1996.  Contributing  to this
increase was year-to-date income of $2,630,000 and proceeds from the issuance of
common  stock  through the  dividend  reinvestment  plan of  $923,000  less cash
dividends  paid of $1,039,000,  or $.59 per share adjusted for stock split.  The
cash dividend represents 39.5% of the year-to-date income; although the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan effectively reduces the payout ratio to 4.4%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Ohio  Valley  Banc  Corp.'s net income was  $936,000  for the third  quarter and
$2,630,000  for the first nine months of 1997,  up 11.4% and 11.1%,  compared to
$840,000 and $2,367,000  for the same periods in 1996.  Third quarter net income
per share, adjusted for the stock split, was $.52, up 8.3% over last year's $.48
and $1.48 for the first nine months of 1997, up 8.0% over 1996's  $1.37.  Return
on assets was 1.00% at September 30, 1997, up from .98% a year ago and return on
equity was 11.20% compared to 11.19% for the same time period.

The improved  earnings  are  primarily a result of net  interest  income,  which
surpassed the  year-to-date  and third  quarter of last year by  $1,254,000  and
$381,000.  The  growth in earning  assets  combined  with a higher net  interest
margin resulted in additional net interest  income.  Management  anticipates the
net  interest  margin to stabilize in the future due to the desired mix of loans
to investments being achieved.

Total other income  increased  $287,000 and $111,000 over the  year-to-date  and
third  quarter of 1996.  The increase was related to earnings on life  insurance
contracts  purchased in the fourth  quarter of 1996 to take advantage of the tax
preferenced nature of life insurance contracts and to support additional benefit
packages.  Total other expense increased $1,244,000 or 16.0% over the first nine
months of 1996 and  increased  $357,000 or 13.1% over the third quarter of 1996.
With the  establishment  of new offices,  the  conversion of our Point  Pleasant
office from a loan origination  office to a full-service  bank branch and growth
in  assets  which  require  more  people to  service,  the  number of  full-time
equivalent  employees  increased by 30 from  September 30, 1996 to September 30,
1997. Salary and employee benefits are up $712,000 over the first nine months of
1996 and are up  $220,000  over the  third  quarter  of  1996.  Data  processing
expenses  increased  in  relation  to the  system  conversion  and  credit  card
processing.  Contributing  to the  increase in other  operating  expense was the
supplemental  retirement  program  established in 1997 and general  increases in
overhead expenses.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders'  equity  totaled  $32,905,000  at September 30, 1997,  compared to
$30,378,000  at December  31,  1996.  All of the capital  ratio's  exceeded  the
regulatory minimum guidelines as identified in the following table:
                                        Company Ratios                Regulatory
                             September 30, 1997   December 31, 1996    Minimum
                             ------------------   -----------------    --------

Tier 1 risk-based capital           12.7%               12.5%            4.00%
Total risk-based capital ratio      14.0%               13.8%            8.00%
Leverage ratio                       9.1%                8.9%            4.00%

Cash dividends paid of $1,039,000 for the first nine months of 1997 represents a
8.6% increase over the cash  dividends  paid during the same period in 1996. The
increase in cash  dividends  paid is due to the  additional  shares  outstanding
during 1997 which were not  outstanding  during 1996 and to the  increase in the
dividend  paid per  share.  During the first nine  months of 1997,  the  Company
issued 25,546 shares under the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. At
September 30, 1997,  approximately  60% of the shareholders were enrolled in the
dividend reinvestment plan.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  relates to the Bank's  ability  to meet the cash  demands  and credit
needs of its customers and is provided by the ability to readily  convert assets
to cash and raise funds in the market  place.  Total cash and cash  equivalents,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, securities available-for-sale and the fair
value of  held-to-maturity  securities  maturing  within one year of $65,235,000
represented  17.8% of total assets at  September  30,  1997.  In  addition,  the
Corporation has  established a $16,900,000  line of credit with the Federal Home
Loan Bank in Cincinnati to further  enhance the bank's ability to meet liquidity
demands.  As of September 30, 1997,  the Bank had the full amount of the line of
credit available.  The Company experienced an increase of $7,428,000 in cash and
cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. See the condensed
consolidated   statement  of  cash  flows  on  page  5  for  further  cash  flow
information.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company  maintains a diversified  credit  portfolio,  with real estate loans
comprising the most  significant  portion.  Credit risk is primarily  subject to
loans made to  businesses  and  individuals  in  southeastern  Ohio.  Management
believes  this  risk  to  be  general  in  nature,  as  there  are  no  material
concentrations  of  loans to any  industry  or  consumer  group.  To the  extent
possible,  the Company  diversifies  its loan  portfolio to limit credit risk by
avoiding industry concentrations.
