NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a
complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and
cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Oak
Hill Financial, Inc. (the "Company") included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. However, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
expected for the entire year.
2. Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Oak Hill Banks (the
"Bank") and Action Finance Company ("Action"). Action was incorporated
during 1997 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.
3. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the
weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for a 5
for 4 stock dividend which was declared on April 28, 1998.
Weighted-average common shares outstanding totaled 4,372,265,
4,370,249, 4,404,755, and 4,401,636 for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, 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
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share
totaled 4,445,250, 4,443,234, 4,478,871, and 4,491,830 for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
There were 72,985, 72,985, 74,116, and 90,194 incremental shares
related to the assumed exercise of stock options in the computation of
diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
-------------------------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
"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 also 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.

OAK HILL FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------
The definition of derivative financial instruments is complex,
but in general, it is an instrument with one or more underlyings, such
as 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 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 underling 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 impact on the Company's financial statements.
5. Year 2000 Compliance Matters
----------------------------
As with all providers of financial services, the Company's
operations are heavily dependent on information technology systems. The
Bank and Action have addressed the potential problems associated with
the possibility that the computers that control or operate the Bank's
and Action's information technology system and infrastructure may not
be programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon arrival of the
year 2000, may recognize the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900,
causing systems to fail to function or to generate erroneous data. The
Bank and Action have completed a process of working with the companies
that supply or service its information technology systems to identify
and remedy any year 2000 related problems.
In 1997, the Company developed a three phase program within
the guidelines of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council (the "FFIEC"). Phase I Awareness and Assessment was to define
the problem, to establish a committee to oversee the project, to
develop an overall strategy, to identify all aspects that could be
affected by the year 2000, to recognize vendor responsibilities, and to
formulate contingency plans. Phase II Renovation was to upgrade and
replace equipment as necessary. Phase I and Phase II were completed by
March 31, 1999. During the phases the following systems were considered
to be mission critical: Peerless 21 software, ISBO Link, and Fedline.
Peerless 21 is the Bank's main processing system, while ISBO Link is
the Bank's connection with the Independent State Bank of Ohio. The ISBO
Link processes wires, credit card applications, and fed funds. Fedline
is the Bank's connection with the Federal Reserve Bank. Wires,
automated clearing house (ACH), treasury tax and loan, and payer
services are mission critical applications processed on the Fedline.
The Company has upgraded these systems as necessary. However, should
any of these mission critical systems fail to be year 2000 ready,
contingency plans to warehouse transactions, to correspond with ISBO
and the Federal Reserve via telephone and fax, and to manually process
payer services and ACH are in place and to be used until such time that
the year 2000 errors can be corrected. Phase III Validation, which
began during the fourth quarter of 1998 was completed at September 30,
1999. In this phase, systems and equipment were tested to ensure year
2000 readiness.

OAK HILL FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. Year 2000 Compliance Matters
----------------------------
The Company established an estimate of the cost to ensure year
2000 readiness totaling approximately $100,000. Approximately 80% of
the costs were incurred as of September 30, 1999, while the remaining
amount is expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter of 1999.
Although the Company believes the estimate is reasonable at this time,
if the Bank and/or Action is ultimately required to purchase
replacement computer systems, programs and/or equipment, or incur
substantial expense to make their systems, programs, and/or equipment
year 2000 ready, the Company's net earnings and financial condition
could be adversely affected.
6. Subsequent Events
-----------------
On October 1, 1999, the Company completed its merger with
Towne Financial Corporation, a corporation chartered under the laws of
Ohio. In connection with the merger, the Company issued a total of
917,400 shares of its common stock to holders of Towne Financial common
stock, based on an exchange ratio of 4.125 shares of Oak Hill common
stock for every one share of Towne Financial common stock. At September
30, 1999, Towne reported total assets of $118.0 million, total deposits
of $88.4 million, and stockholder's equity of $7.4 million.
On October 1, 1999, immediately after completion of the
merger, The Blue Ash Building & Loan, a former subsidiary of Towne
Financial Corporation acquired by the Company in the merger, converted
from a state chartered savings bank to a state chartered commercial
bank. At the same time, the company changed its name from The Blue Ash
Savings & Loan to "Towne Bank".

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from December 31, 1998 to
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1999
- ------------------
At September 30, 1999, the Company had total assets of $475.7
million, an increase of approximately $45.7 million, or 10.6%, over December 31,
1998 levels. The increase in total assets was funded primarily by undistributed
net earnings of $3.7 million, an increase of $34.6 million in Federal Home Loan
Bank advances, and an increase of $8.4 million in the deposit portfolio.
Cash, federal funds sold and investment securities totaled
$62.4 million at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $14.5 million, or 18.9%, from
December 31, 1998 levels. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
management purchased $11.5 million of investment securities, while $16.6 million
of securities matured or were called. Securities purchased consisted primarily
of U.S. government agency and mortgage-backed securities. The decrease reflects
management's use of excess liquidity to fund growth in the loan portfolio.
Loans receivable and loans held for sale totaled $398.5
million at September 30, 1999, an increase of $57.8 million, or 17.0%, over the
total at December 31, 1998. Loan disbursements totaled approximately $197.1
million during the 1999 nine month period, while principal repayments and sales
amounted to $121.3 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Loan disbursements
decreased by $4.7 million, or 2.3%, during the 1999 period, as compared to the
comparable period in 1998. Loans originated in 1999 were primarily comprised of
commercial and 1-4 family residential loans.
The Company's allowance for loan losses amounted to $5.1
million at September 30, 1999, an increase of $745,000, or 17.3%, over the total
at December 31, 1998. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.25% of the
total loan portfolio at both September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. The
Company's allowance represented 348.3% and 268.9% of non-performing loans, which
totaled $1.5 million and $1.6 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998, respectively.
The deposit portfolio totaled $374.5 million at September 30,
1999, an increase of $8.4 million, or 2.3%, from December 31, 1998 levels, and a
$10.3 million, or 2.8%, increase from June 30, 1999. During the first five
months of the year, management made a concerted effort to decrease the
weighted-average cost of time deposits while excess liquidity was redeployed,
primarily to fund new loan originations. With the Company's subsequent rapid
loan growth, interest rates on certificates of deposit were increased in June
1999, and maintained at the higher levels through September 30, 1999, to raise
deposits to fund the increased loan volume. Management anticipates that deposits
will further increase in future quarters.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $58.4 million
at September 30, 1999, an increase of $34.6 million, or 145.5%, over December
31, 1998. Proceeds from advances were used to fund new loan originations during
the period.
The Bank is required to maintain minimum regulatory capital
pursuant to federal regulations. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's regulatory
capital substantially exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Month Periods Ended
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1999 and 1998
- ---------------------------
General
- -------
Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $4.9 million, an increase of $434,000, or 9.8%, over the $4.4 million in
net earnings reported in the comparable 1998 period. The increase in earnings in
the 1999 period is primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in net
interest income after provision for losses on loans, which was partially offset
by a $130,000 decrease in other income, a $919,000 increase in general,
administrative and other expenses, and an increase in the federal income tax
provision of $318,000.
Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 increased by $3.0 million, or 12.2%, reflecting the effects of a $56.4
million, or 15.2%, growth in average interest-earning assets, from $370.5
million to $426.9 million for the nine month periods ending September 30, 1998
and 1999, respectively, which was partially offset by a decrease in the
weighted-average yield year-to-year. Similarly, total interest expense increased
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $864,000, or 7.5%, also
reflecting the $48.2 million, or 15.3%, growth in average interest-bearing
liabilities, from $314.6 million to $362.8 million for the nine month periods
ending September 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, which was partially offset by
a decrease in the weighted-average cost of funds, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and
interest expense, net interest income increased by $2.1 million, or 16.5%, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the comparable period
in 1998. The interest rate spread amounted to 3.94% and 3.84% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, while the net interest margin totaled
4.62% and 4.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Provision for Losses on Loans
- -----------------------------
The provision for losses on loans totaled $1.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $293,000 over the
comparable 1998 period. The increase in the provision was primarily attributable
to the growth in the loan portfolio year-to-year.
Although management believes that it uses the best information
available in providing for possible loan losses and believes that the allowance
is adequate at September 30, 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 decreased for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 by $130,000, or 7.0%, from the comparable 1998 period. The decrease
resulted from a $316,000, or 57.2%, decrease in gain on sale of loans and a
$153,000 decrease in gain on investment securities transactions, which were
partially offset by a $339,000, or 29.9%, increase in service fees, charges and
other operating income.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Month Periods Ended
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1999 and 1998 (continued)
- ---------------------------
General, Administrative and Other Expense
- -----------------------------------------
General, administrative and other expense increased for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $919,000, or 13.1%, over the comparable
nine month period in 1998. The increase was due primarily to an $826,000, or
21.5%, increase in employee compensation and benefits, a $52,000, or 5.5%,
increase in occupancy and equipment expense, and a $59,000, or 3.2%, increase in
other operating expenses. Franchise taxes decreased $19,000, or 5.3%, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in employee compensation and benefits is due
primarily to additional staffing levels, primarily related to the start-up of
new branch facilities, coupled with normal merit increases and a decrease in
deferred costs related to a decline in the lending volume year-to-year. The
pending acquisition of Towne Financial also influenced the increase in employee
compensation and benefits as additional staff was employed in anticipation of
converting Towne from a savings and loan to a commercial banking operation. The
increase in occupancy and equipment expense, as well as, the increase in other
operating expenses is also primarily attributable to the opening of new branch
faciliities, coupled with pro-rata increases in various operating costs
associated with the Company's overall growth year-to-year.
Federal Income Taxes
- --------------------
The provision for federal income taxes increased by
$318,000, or 14.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared
to the same period in 1998, due primarily to a $752,000, or 11.4%, increase in
pre-tax earnings year-to-year. The effective tax rates for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 33.5% and 32.5%, respectively.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1999 and 1998

General
- -------
Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $1.7 million, an increase of $138,000, or 8.7%, over the amount reported
in the comparable 1998 period. The increase in earnings in the 1999 period is
primarily attributable to a $575,000 increase in net interest income after
provision for losses on loans, which was partially offset by a $104,000 decrease
in other income, a $239,000 increase in general, administrative and other
expenses and an increase in the federal income tax provision of $94,000.
Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Total interest income for the three months ended September 30,
1999 increased by $1.1 million, or 12.4%, generally reflecting the effects of
$55.3 million, or 14.2%, growth in average interest-earning assets from, $390.5
million to $445.8 million for the three month periods ending September 30, 1998

1999, respectively, which was partially offset by a decrease in the
weighted-average yield year-to-year. Similarly, total interest expense increased
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 by $313,000, or 7.7%, reflecting
the $51.2 million, or 15.5%, growth in average interest-bearing liabilities,
from $330.4 million to $381.6 million, which was partially offset by a decrease
in weighted-average cost of funds year-to-year.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and
interest expense, net interest income increased by $753,000, or 16.7%, for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the comparable quarter in
1998. The interest rate spread amounted to 4.02% and 3.83% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, while the net interest margin totaled 4.68%
and 4.58% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Provision for Losses on Loans
- -----------------------------
The provision for losses on loans totaled $509,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $178,000 from the
comparable 1998 period. The increase in the provision was primarily attributable
to growth in the loan portfolio year-to-year.
Although management believes that it uses the best information
available in providing for possible loan losses and believes that the allowance
is adequate at September 30, 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 decreased for the three months ended September
30, 1999 by $104,000, or 15.9%, from the comparable 1998 period. The decrease
resulted from a decrease of $158,000 in gain on sale of loans and a decrease of
$92,000 in investment securities transactions, which were partially offset by an
increase of $146,000, or 36.1%, in service fees, charges and other operating
income.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
- -----------------------------------------
General, administrative and other expense increased for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 by $239,000, or 9.7%. The increase was due
primarily to a $243,000, or 17.8%, increase in employee compensation and
benefits, and a $39,000, or 12.5%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense.
Other operating expenses decreased $46,000, or 6.9%, for the three months ended
September 30, 1999.
The increase in employee compensation and benefits is due
primarily to additional staffing levels, primarily related to the start-up of
new branch facilities, coupled with normal merit increases and a decrease in
deferred costs related to a decline in the lending volume year-to-year. The
pending acquisition of Towne Financial also influenced, to a lesser degree, the
increase in employee compensation and benefits as additional staff was employed
in anticipation of converting Towne from a savings and loan to a commercial
banking operation. The increase in occupancy and
