                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Basis of Presentation

                  On October 1, 1999, Oak Hill  Financial,  Inc. (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 was merged with and into the
         Company  and  Blue  Ash,   renamed  Towne  Bank  ("Towne"),   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, 1999.  Pursuant to the merger  agreement,
         the Company  issued  917,361 shares of common stock in exchange for the
         shares of Towne.

                  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 the
         Company  included in the Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
         December 31, 1999. 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, 2000 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"),  Towne,  (collectively  hereinafter  the "Banks"),  and Action
         Finance Company ("Action").  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.
          Weighted-average   common  shares   outstanding   totaled   5,169,604,
          5,262,156,  5,289,149,  and  5,275,682  for the three  and  nine-month
          periods  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Diluted
          earnings  per share are  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 5,209,896,  5,265,478,  5,289,149, and 5,421,853 for the
          three  and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
          respectively.  There were 40,292, 3,322 and 146,171 incremental shares
          related to the  assumed  exercise  of stock  options  included  in the
          computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month
          periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and the  three-month  period ended
          September 30, 1999,  respectively.  Options to purchase 588,704 shares
          of common stock with a weighted-average  exercise price of $14.72 were
          outstanding  at  September  30,  2000,  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.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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.

                  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 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 financial position or results of operations.

                  In September 2000 the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for
         Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of
         Liabilities",   which  revises  the  standards   for   accounting   for
         securitizations  and other transfers of financial assets and collateral
         and  requires  certain  disclosures,  but  carries  over  most  of  the
         provisions  of SFAS No. 125  without  reconsideration.  SFAS No. 140 is
         effective  for   transfers  and  servicing  of  financial   assets  and
         extinguishments  of  liabilities  occurring  after March 31, 2001.  The
         Statement  is  effective  for  recognition  and   reclassification   of
         collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization  transactions
         and collateral  for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2000.  SFAS
         No.  140 is not  expected  to have a material  effect on the  Company's
         financial position or results of operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 1999 to September
30, 2000

                  At September 30, 2000,  the Company had total assets of $672.4
million, an increase of approximately $72.3 million, or 12.0%, over December 31,
1999 levels.  The increase in total assets was funded primarily by growth in the
deposit portfolio of $52.7 million,  undistributed net earnings of $3.5 million,
an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $12.4  million,  and increases
of $1.6  million  and $5.0  million in notes  payable  and  capital  securities,
respectively.

                  Cash,  federal funds sold and  investment  securities  totaled
$69.4 million at September 30, 2000, a decrease of $2.5 million,  or 3.4%,  from
December  31, 1999  levels.  During the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000,
management purchased $8.1 million of investment  securities,  while $2.8 million
of securities matured,  were called or were sold. Securities purchased consisted
primarily of U.S.  government agency securities and trust preferred  securities,
the latter of which were classified as  held-to-maturity.  Excess  liquidity was
used primarily to fund new loan originations.

                  During the fourth  quarter,  the  Company  plans to pursue the
previously  announced  restructuring  of its investment  portfolio.  Up to $35.0
million in investment securities will be replaced with quality,  higher-yielding
instruments.  The plan is expected to result in after-tax  charges of up to $1.1
million in the fourth  quarter,  but going forward the Company should realize an
increase  of up to  125  basis  points  in the  annual  yield  on  the  replaced
investments.

                  Loans  receivable  and  loans  held  for sale  totaled  $580.8
million at September 30, 2000, an increase of $72.9 million,  or 14.3%, over the
total at December 31, 1999.  Loan  disbursements  totaled  approximately  $242.5
million during the 2000 nine-month period,  while principal repayments and sales
amounted to $160.5 million and $6.8 million,  respectively.  Loan  disbursements
increased by $14.8 million,  or 6.5%, during the 2000 period, as compared to the
comparable period in 1999. Loans originated in 2000 were primarily  comprised of
commercial and 1- 4 family residential loans.

                  The  Company's  allowance  for loan  losses  amounted  to $6.9
million at September 30, 2000, an increase of $730,000, or 11.9%, over the total
at December 31, 1999.  The  allowance for loan losses  represented  1.17% of the
total loan portfolio at September 30, 2000, as compared to 1.19% at December 31,
1999. Net charge-offs totaled  approximately  $817,000 and $564,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The Company's allowance
represented  192.5% and  192.4% of  non-performing  loans,  which  totaled  $3.6
million  and  $3.2  million  at  September  30,  2000  and  December  31,  1999,
respectively. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2000 consisted of $634,000 in
installment loans and $3.0 million of loans secured primarily by commercial real
estate and 1 - 4 family  residential real estate. In management's  opinion,  all
nonperforming loans at September 30, 2000 were adequately collateralized.

                  The deposit  portfolio totaled $541.6 million at September 30,
2000, an increase of $52.7 million, or 10.8%, over December 31, 1999 levels. The
increase resulted primarily from management's  marketing efforts and competitive
pricing with respect to midterm  certificates of deposit products throughout the
Banks' branch network.  Proceeds from deposit growth were utilized  primarily to
fund loan originations.

                  Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $72.0 million
at September 30, 2000, an increase of $12.4 million, or 20.7%, over December 31,
1999. Notes payable also increased by $1.6 million over December 1999.  Proceeds
from advances and notes payable were used to fund loan  originations  during the
period.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from December 31, 1999 to September
30, 2000 (continued)

                  In March 2000, a Delaware  statutory  business  trust owned by
the Company (the "Trust"),  issued $5.0 million of mandatorily  redeemable  debt
securities.  The  debt  securities  issued  by the  Trust  are  included  in the
Company's regulatory capital, specifically as a component of Tier I capital. The
proceeds from the issuance of the debt  securities  and common  securities  were
used  by the  Trust  to  purchase  from  the  Company  $5.0  million  of  junior
subordinated  debentures maturing on March 8, 2030. The subordinated  debentures
are the sole  assets  of the  Trust,  and the  Company  owns  all of the  common
securities of the Trust. Interest payments on the debt securities are to be made
semi-annually  at an  annual  interest  rate of 10 7/8%  and are  reported  as a
component of interest  expense on borrowings.  The net proceeds  received by the
Company  from the sale of the debt  securities  were used for general  corporate
purposes,  including repaying existing indebtedness,  repurchasing the Company's
stock,  extending credit to the Company's  subsidiaries,  and providing  general
working capital.

                  The Bank is required to maintain  minimum  regulatory  capital
pursuant to federal  regulations.  At September 30, 2000, the Banks'  regulatory
capital substantially exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.



Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine-Month  Periods Ended  September
30, 2000 and 1999

General

                  Net  earnings  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000
totaled  $5.1  million,  an increase  of $2.1  million,  or 68.6%,  over the net
earnings reported in the comparable 1999 period. The increase in earnings in the
2000  period  was  primarily  attributable  to a $1.9  million  increase  in net
interest income after provision for losses on loans and a $2.1 million  increase
in other income,  which were partially offset by a $776,000 increase in general,
administrative  and other  expenses  and an increase  in the federal  income tax
provision of $1.1 million.

Net Interest Income

                  Total interest  income for the nine months ended September 30,
2000  increased by $6.3 million,  or 18.7%,  reflecting the effects of growth in
average  interest-earning  assets from $540.9  million to $606.7 million for the
nine-month  periods  ending  September 30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  and an
increase  in the  weighted-average  yield  from  8.26% in 1999 to 8.73% in 2000.
Similarly,  total interest expense increased for the nine months ended September
30,  2000 by $4.7  million,  or 28.6%,  also  reflecting  the  growth in average
interest-bearing  liabilities  from  $472.1  million to $532.3  million  for the
nine-month  periods  ending  September 30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  and an
increase  in the  weighted-average  cost of funds from 4.63% in 1999 to 5.28% in
2000.

                  As a result of the  foregoing  changes in interest  income and
interest  expense,  net interest income increased by $1.6 million,  or 9.2%, for
the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to the comparable  period
in 1999.  The  interest  rate  spread  amounted  to 3.45% and 3.63% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  while the net interest
margin totaled 4.10% and 4.22% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine-Month  Periods Ended  September
30, 2000 and 1999 (continued)

Provision for Losses on Loans

                  The provision for losses on loans totaled $1.6 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 2000, a $328,000  decrease from the  comparable
1999 period.  The current  period  provision  was primarily  attributable  to an
increase in the level of non-performing  loans,  coupled with the overall 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, 2000, 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 increased for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 by $2.1 million,  from the comparable  1999 period.  The increase  resulted
from the effects of a $2.2 million loss on  investment  securities  transactions
recorded in the 1999 period and a $292,000,  or 18.7%, increase in service fees,
charges and other operating income,  which was partially offset by a decrease of
$380,000 in gain on sale of loans. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was due
primarily to a $21.6 million, or 75.9%,  reduction in sales volume year-to-year.
The  decline in sales  volume  reflects  the less  favorable  market  conditions
resulting  from the  increase  in  interest  rates over the  period.  Management
expects such a decline in sales volume to continue in the current  interest rate
environment.  The increase in service fees,  charges and other operating  income
was due  primarily  to  increased  product and service  fees,  coupled  with the
Company's overall growth year-to-year.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

                  General,  administrative  and other expense  increased for the
nine months ended  September 30, 2000 by $776,000,  or 7.4%, over the comparable
nine-month  period in 1999.  The increase was due  primarily to an $898,000,  or
15.9%,  increase in employee  compensation  and  benefits,  a $99,000,  or 7.6%,
increase in occupancy and equipment expense, and a $655,000,  or 29.0%, increase
in other operating  expenses,  which were partially offset by the effects of the
$850,000 in merger-related expenses recorded in the 1999 period.

                  The  increase in employee  compensation  and  benefits was due
primarily  to  increased   staffing  levels  required  in  connection  with  the
establishment of four new Action offices,  two Oak Hill loan production offices,
and two Towne branches,  all of which were opened during the twelve month period
ending  September 30, 2000, and additional  management  staffing,  combined with
normal merit  increases.  The increases in occupancy and equipment  expense,  as
well as other operating expenses, resulted from expenses related to the addition
of these new branch  facilities,  combined  with the  Company's  overall  growth
year-to-year.

Federal Income Taxes

                    The  provision  for federal  income taxes  increased by $1.1
million,  or 77.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared
to the same  period  in 1999,  due  primarily  to the $3.2  million,  or  71.4%,
increase  in pre-tax  earnings  year-to-year.  The  effective  tax rates for the
nine-month  periods  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 were  33.4% and 32.3%,
respectively.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three-Month  Periods Ended September
30, 2000 and 1999

General

                  Net earnings for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000
totaled $1.5  million,  an increase of $2.1 million over the amount  reported in
the  comparable  1999  period.  The  increase in earnings in the 2000 period was
primarily  attributable  to a $624,000  increase in net  interest  income  after
provision for losses on loans,  a $2.3 million  increase in other income,  and a
$327,000  decrease  in general,  administrative  and other  expense,  which were
partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in the federal income tax provision.


Net Interest Income

                  Total interest income for the three months ended September 30,
2000 increased by $2.4 million,  or 20.3%,  generally  reflecting the effects of
growth in average  interest-earning assets from $557.6 million to $636.2 million
for the three-month  periods ending  September 30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,
and an  increase  in the  weighted-average  yield from 8.35% in 1999 to 8.83% in
2000.  Similarly,  total interest  expense  increased for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 by $2.2 million,  or 39.2%,  reflecting the growth in average
interest-bearing  liabilities  from  $489.4  million to $562.6  million  for the
three-month  periods  ended  September 30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  and an
increase in weighted-average cost of funds from 4.60% in 1999 to 5.58% in 2000.

                  As a result of the  foregoing  changes in interest  income and
interest  expense,  net interest income increased by $157,000,  or 2.6%, for the
three months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to the comparable  period in
1999. The interest rate spread  amounted to 3.25% and 3.75% for the three months
ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999  respectively,  while the net interest margin
totaled 3.89% and 4.32% for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Provision for Losses on Loans

                  The  provision  for losses on loans  totaled  $708,000 for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  a decrease of  $467,000,  or 39.7%,
compared  to the  1999  period.  The  current  period  provision  was  primarily
attributable to the increase in non-performing  loans during the current period,
coupled with 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, 2000, 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  increased  for the three months ended  September
30,  2000 by $2.3  million  from the  comparable  period in 1999.  The  increase
resulted  from the effects of the $2.2  million  loss on  investment  securities
transactions  recorded in the 1999 period and a $63,000,  or 10.7%,  increase in
service fees,  charges and other  operating  income,  due primarily to increased
product  and  service   fees,   coupled  with  the  Company's   overall   growth
year-to-year.

                  General,  administrative  and other expense  decreased for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 by $327,000, or 7.8%. The decrease was due
primarily to the effects of the $850,000 in merger-related  expenses recorded in
the 1999 period, which was partially offset by a $351,000, or 17.8%, increase in
employee  compensation and benefits,  a $28,000,  or 6.1%, increase in occupancy
and equipment  expense,  and a $159,000,  or 20.5%,  increase in other operating
expenses.  Federal  deposit  insurance  premiums and franchise  taxes  decreased
$5,000 and $10,000, respectively.

                  The  increase in employee  compensation  and  benefits was due

          stock. The repurchase  program will run through December 31, 2000. The
          Company's Board of Directors  approved the buyback program in light of

          Company.  As of October 27, 2000, the Company had repurchased  220,695
