NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. ("Ohio Valley") and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the "Bank"), Loan
Central, Inc. ("Loan Central"), a consumer finance company, and Ohio Valley
Financial Services Agency, LLC ("Ohio Valley Financial Services"), an insurance
agency. Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
"Company". All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
These interim financial statements are prepared by the Company 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 the Company at June 30, 2006, and its results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ending
June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
anticipated for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary
financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (US GAAP) that might otherwise be necessary in the
circumstances. The Annual Report of the Company for the year ended December 31,
2005 contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should
be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform to US
GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses is particularly subject to
change.
The majority of the Company's income is derived from commercial and retail
lending activities. Management considers the Company to operate in one segment,
banking.
INCOME TAX: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due or
refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed,
reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
CASH FLOW: 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. Generally,
federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. The Company reports
net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, short-term
borrowings and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.
STOCK SPLIT: On April 13, 2005, Ohio Valley's Board of Directors declared a
five-for-four stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, on Ohio
Valley's common shares. Each shareholder of record on April 25, 2005, received
an additional common share for every four common shares then held. The common
shares were issued on May 10, 2005. The stock split was recorded by transferring
from retained earnings an amount equal to the stated value of the shares issued.
The Company retained the current par value of $1.00 per share for all common
shares. Earnings and cash dividends per share amounts in 2005 have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split.
7
EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share is computed based on net income divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,240,739 and 4,287,619 for
the three months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Weighted average
shares outstanding were 4,244,624 and 4,288,093 for the six months ending June
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Ohio Valley had no dilutive effect or no
potential common shares issuable under stock options or other agreements for any
period presented. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in 2005 has
been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split in 2005.
LOANS: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned
interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest income on loans is reported on an accrual basis using the interest
method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the
loan term. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt,
typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days.
Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for
loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Loan losses are
charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a
loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss
experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific
borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and
other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but
the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment,
should be charged-off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans
otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for
current factors.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for
impairment. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance
for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are
collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately
identified for impairment disclosures.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: The consolidated financial statements for 2005 have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation for 2006. These reclassifications
had no effect on the net results of operations.

Interest on impaired loans was $386 and $111 for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Accrual basis income was not materially
different from cash basis income for the periods presented.
NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company, through its subsidiaries, grants residential, consumer, and
commercial loans to customers located primarily in the central and southeastern
areas of Ohio as well as the western counties of West Virginia. Approximately
3.53% of total loans were unsecured at June 30, 2006 as compared to 3.14% at
December 31, 2005.
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.
These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. The contract amounts of
these instruments are not included in the consolidated financial statements. At
June 30, 2006, the contract amounts of these instruments totaled approximately
$73,178, compared to $66,594 at December 31, 2005. Since many of these
instruments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total contract
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
NOTE 5 - OTHER BORROWED FUNDS
Other borrowed funds at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are comprised of
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati, promissory notes
and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Notes.
FHLB Promissory FRB
Borrowings Notes Notes Totals
-------------------- ----------------- --------------- ----------------
June 30, 2006................ $ 62,118 $ 5,354 $ 1,417 $ 68,889
December 31, 2005............ $ 66,385 $ 5,113 $ 4,675 $ 76,173
Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by
$216,848 in qualifying mortgage loans and $5,861 in FHLB stock at June 30, 2006.
Fixed-rate FHLB advances of $61,268 mature through 2010 and have interest rates
ranging from 3.16% to 6.62%. In addition, variable-rate FHLB borrowings of $850
mature in 2006 and carried an interest rate of 5.43%.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had a cash management line of credit enabling it
to borrow up to $35,000 from the FHLB. All cash management advances have an
original maturity of 90 days. The line of credit must be renewed on an annual
basis. There was $34,150 available on this line of credit at June 30, 2006.
Based on the Company's current FHLB stock ownership, total assets and pledgeable
residential first mortgage loans, the Company had the ability to obtain
borrowings from the FHLB up to a maximum of $160,628 at June 30, 2006.
Promissory notes, issued primarily by Ohio Valley, have fixed rates of 4.00% to
6.25% and are due at various dates through a final maturity date of September
30, 2008. As of June 30, 2006, a total of $3,268 represented promissory notes
payable by Ohio Valley to related parties.
FRB notes consist of the collection of tax payments from Bank customers under
the Treasury Tax and Loan program. These funds have a variable interest rate and
are callable on demand by the U.S. Treasury. At June 30, 2006, the interest rate
for the Company's FRB notes was 4.78%. Various investment
10
securities from the Bank used to collateralize the FRB notes totaled $6,070 at
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Letters of credit issued on the Bank's behalf by the FHLB to collateralize
certain public unit deposits as required by law totaled $28,450 at June 30, 2006
and $27,950 at December 31, 2005.

Net income increased by $93, or 5.4%, to $1,826 for the three months ended June
30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. For the first six months of 2006,
net income increased by $262, or 7.9%, to $3,565 compared to $3,303 for the
first half of 2005. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 finished
at $.43, up 7.5% over the same period in 2005. Earnings per share for the first
six months of 2006 grew $.07 or 9.1% to finish at $.84 per share as compared to
the same period in 2005. The annualized net income to average asset ratio (ROA)
and net income to average equity ratio (ROE) both improved to .95% and 12.10%
during the first half of 2006, as compared to .93% and 11.71%, respectfully, for
the same period in 2005. The Company accomplished these positive results by: 1)
growing average loan balances by $35,565, or 6.0%, over the first half of 2005
to an all-time high of $626,828; and 2) increasing its emphasis on expense
control, which helped to minimize overhead costs to just a 1.1% and 1.7%
increase over the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2005 while growing
noninterest revenue by 10.0% and 7.1% over the same periods in 2005.
The Company's interest income continues to be positively impacted by the
sustained rising rate environment that began in 2004. The Bank's commercial loan
portfolio in particular has been significantly affected by changes in the prime
interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong
credit. The prime rate began June 30, 2005 at 6.00% and increased 225 basis
points during the past four quarters to finish at 8.25% at June 30, 2006.
Furthermore, the Company's current loan balances have responded well during the
first half of 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005, growing $6,529, or 1.1%,
primarily from originations in commercial and participation loans. This increase
is conversely related to the same period in 2005 when the Company's current
loans were down $6,270, or 1.0%, from December 31, 2004, in large part due to
lower loan demand combined with increased payoffs. The rise in market rates
combined with increases in average interest-earning loan balances allowed for
succesful growth in the Company's net interest income of over 6.3% and 6.9% for
the second quarter and year-to-date periods in 2006 as compared to the same
periods in 2005. While the Company's net interest income continues to grow,
pressure from the sustained rise in rates over the past year continues to impact
funding costs, causing interest expense to grow at a faster pace than interest
income. The faster pace of interest expense growth has caused the Company's net
interest margin to grow at a decreasing pace in 2006 as compared to 2005. The
Company should continue to see its net interest margin stabilize during the
remainder of 2006 assuming rates stabilize.
The growth in net interest income and stable overhead expenses has resulted in
much improved efficiency. The efficiency ratio, which represents the cost to
generate a dollar in revenue, improved to 60.9% and 62.5% for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 64.5% and 65.9%,
respectively, for the same periods in 2005.
The consolidated total assets of the Company increased $3,908, or 0.5%, during
the first half of 2006 to finish at $753,627, primarily due to increased loan
balances and available-for-sale securities. Partially offsetting growth in loans
was a $3,446 decrease in cash and noninterest bearing deposits with banks and a
$1,100 decrease in federal funds sold from year-end 2005. Loans were primarily
funded by an increase in the Company's total deposits, which increased $15,737
from year-end 2005. The excess funds available from the increases in deposits
were used to reduce other borrowed funds and support the decline in the
Company's securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase
agreements"), which decreased $7,284 and $7,919, respectively, from year-end
2005.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company experienced an increase in its
nonperforming loans, increasing from $2,516 at March 31, 2006 to $7,305 at June
30, 2006. This was due in large part to several commercial mortgages from three
commercial relationships representing approximately 65.3% of total nonperforming
loans.
The Company's Board of Directors approved a five-for-four stock split, effected
in the form of a stock dividend, on April 13, 2005. The additional common shares
issued were distributed on May 10, 2005 to
12
stockholders of record as of April 25, 2005. References to 2005 share and per
share data have been retroactively restated for this stock split.
Comparison of
Financial Condition
at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005
--------------------------------------
The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated financial
condition of the Company at June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and balances due from
banks and federal funds sold. The amounts of cash and cash equivalents fluctuate
on a daily basis due to customer activity and liquidity needs. At June 30, 2006,
cash and cash equivalents had decreased $4,546, or 23.2%, to $15,070 as compared
to $19,616 at December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents declined during the
first half of 2006 because the Company used more cash to fund increased loan
volume. Management believes that the current balance of cash and cash
equivalents remains at a level that will meet cash obligations and provide
adequate liquidity. Further information regarding the Company's liquidity can be
found under the caption "Liquidity" in this Management's Discussion and
Analysis.
Securities
During the first half of 2006, investment securities increased $1,216, or 1.4%,
driven by an increase in U.S. government agency securities of $1,582, or 8.7%,
as compared to year-end 2005. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in
mortgage-backed securities of $498, or 1.0%, from year-end 2005. The growth in
U.S. government agencies was the result of attractive yield opportunities and a
desire to increase diversification within the Company's securities portfolio.
The Company continues to benefit from the advantages of mortgage-backed
securities, which make up the largest portion of the Company's investment
portfolio, totaling $47,732, or 60.0% of total investments at June 30, 2006. The
primary advantage of mortgage-backed securities has been the increased cash
flows due to the more rapid (monthly) repayment of principal as compared to
other types of investment securities, which deliver proceeds upon maturity or
call date. Principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities totaled $3,640
from January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006. The Company's focus in 2006 will be
to generate interest revenue primarily through loan growth due to higher asset
yields.
Loans
During the first half of 2006, total loans, the Company's primary category of
earning assets, were up $6,529, or 1.1%, from year-end 2005. Total loan growth
was influenced by commercial loans increasing $3,170, or 1.3%, from year-end
2005. This growth is consistent with the Company's continued emphasis on
commercial lending, which generally yields a higher return on investment as
compared to other types of loans. Commercial loan growth during the first half
of 2006 was primarily driven by loan participations with other banks outside the
Company's primary market area, which increased $5,702, or 30.1%. Although the
Company is not actively marketing participation loans outside its primary market
area, it is taking advantage of the relationships it has with certain lenders in
those areas where the Company believes it can profitably participate with an
acceptable level of risk. This growth in participation loans was partially
offset by a decrease in the remaining commercial loan balances of $2,532, or
1.2%, in large part due to significant payoffs from three commercial real estate
accounts. The
13
commercial loan portfolio, including participation loans, consists primarily of
rental property loans (15.8% of portfolio), medical industry loans (9.9% of
portfolio), hotel and motel loans (8.6% of portfolio) and land development loans
(8.5% of portfolio). The primary market areas for the Company's commercial
loans, excluding loan participations, are in the areas of Gallia, Jackson and
Franklin counties in Ohio, which accounted for 82.0% of total originations
during the first half of 2006, and the growing West Virginia markets, which
accounted for 11.1% of total originations for the same time period. While
management believes lending opportunities exist in the Company's markets, future
commercial lending activities will depend upon economic and related conditions,
such as general demand for loans in the Company's primary markets, interest
rates offered by the Company and normal underwriting considerations.
Additionally, the potential for larger than normal commercial loan payoffs may
continue to limit loan growth during the second half of 2006.
While commercial loans comprise the largest portion of the Company's loan
portfolio, generating residential real estate loans remains a key focus of the
Company's lending efforts. The Company's total real estate loan balances
increased $3,287, or 1.4%, from year-end 2005 to total $238,295. Throughout the
past 12 months, consumer demand for real estate loans has steadily increased due
to the continuation of lower mortgage rates that have not responded as much to
the documented rise in short-term interest rates. The Company's fixed-rate real
estate loans have become increasingly more popular than the adjustable-rate
mortgage product. A flattened yield curve influenced by these many short-term
rate increases has led to a specific demand for long-term, fixed-rate real
estate loans, which still remain affordable for the Company's mortgage
consumers. Management continues to feel comfortable with the Company's minimal
interest rate risk exposure and, as a result, the Company kept a large portion
of its fixed-rate real estate originations in its portfolio during the first
half of 2006. This led to an increase in fixed-rate real estate loan balances of
$12,076, or 10.9%, from year-end 2005. To help further satisfy this increasing
demand in fixed-rate real estate loans, the Company continues to originate and
sell some fixed-rate mortgages to the secondary market, but has sold just $2,035
in loans during the first half of 2006, which is relatively even with the same
volume in the first half of 2005. Partially offsetting this loan growth was a
decrease in the Company's one-year adjustable-rate mortgage balances of $6,560,
or 8.0%, as a result of the slowed volume of refinancing that had been evident
during 2004 and 2005. The remaining real estate loan portfolio balances
decreased, primarily from the Company's other variable-rate real estate loan
products.
During the first half of 2006, consumer loans fell $3,028, or 2.1%, from
year-end 2005 to $142,787. This fall in consumer volume was mostly attributable
to the indirect automobile lending segment, which decreased $4,276, or 9.7%,
from year-end 2005. While the automobile lending segment continues to represent
the largest portion of the Company's consumer loan portfolio, management's
emphasis on profitable loan growth with higher returns has contributed most to
the reduction in loan volume within this area. Indirect automobile loans bear
additional costs from dealers that partially offset interest revenue and lower
the rate of return. Furthermore, economic factors and the continued rising rate
environment have caused a decline in automobile loan volume. As rates have been
aggressively moving up, continued competition with alternative methods of
financing, such as captive finance companies offering loans at below-market
interest rates, have continued to challenge automobile loan growth during the
first half of 2006.
The Company recognized an increase of $3,100 in other loans from year-end 2005.
Other loans consist primarily of state and municipal loans and overdrafts. This
increase was largely due to an increase in state and municipal loans of $3,040.
The Company is pleased with its total loan growth results during the first half
of 2006. With the 2006 first half loan results largely driven by unseasonable
commercial loan increases, the Company expects loan volume to increase at a more
moderate pace throughout the remainder of 2006. The Company
14
remains committed to sound underwriting practices without sacrificing asset
quality and avoiding exposure to unnecessary risk that could weaken the credit
quality of the portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses
During the first half of 2006, the Company increased its allowance for loan
losses by $954, or 13.4%, in large part due to an increase in nonperforming loan
balances and loan growth since year-end 2005. Since December 31, 2005, the level
of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccruing loans and accruing loans
past due 90 days or more, has significantly increased from $2,557 at year-end
2005 to $7,305 at June 30, 2006. The nonperforming loan balances increased
primarily from three commercial loan relationships representing 65.3% of total
nonperforming loans. These commercial loans are secured by liens on commercial
real estate and equipment, personal guarantees and life insurance. As a result,
the Company's ratio of nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans
increased from 0.41% at year-end 2005 to 1.17% at June 30, 2006. The Company
views this increase as unique in nature and not a trend that will consistently
grow throughout the remainder of 2006. The Company's ratio of nonperforming
assets, which includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and referred to
as other real estate owned ("OREO"), as a percentage of total assets also
increased from 0.62% at year-end 2005 to 1.23% at June 30, 2006. The three
commercial relationships mentioned above represent 0.76% of total loans and
0.63% of total assets at June 30, 2006. While increases in impaired loan
allocations based on specific reviews were necessary to adequately prepare the
allowance for probable and incurred loan losses, the Company's net charge-offs
decreased $459, or 47.7%, during the first half of 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005, mostly from larger commercial loan charge-offs during the first
half of 2005.
As a result of higher nonperforming loan balances, the ratio of allowance for
loan losses to total loans increased to 1.30% at June 30, 2006 as compared to
1.16% at December 31, 2005. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Asset quality remains a key focus, as management continues to stress not just
loan growth, but quality in loan underwriting as well.
Deposits
Deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest bearing, continue to be the most
significant source of funds used by the Company to support earning assets.
Deposits are influenced by changes in interest rates, economic conditions and
competition from other banks. During the first half of 2006, total deposits were
up $15,737, or 2.8%, from year-end 2005, resulting from the efforts to attract
deposits to fund loan growth as well as the rise in interest rates. The change
in deposits came primarily from increases in money market and time deposit
balances.
Money market account balances increased $22,756, or 101.8%, during the first
half of 2006, primarily from the Company's new Market Watch product, which
generated $24,373 in additional deposit balances from year-end 2005. Introduced
in August 2005, the Market Watch product is a limited transaction investment
account with tiered rates that will compete with current market rate offerings.
Also supplementing deposit growth were time deposits, increasing $11,101, or
3.4%, from year-end 2005. Time deposits, particularly certificates of deposit
("CD's"), continue to be the most significant source of funding for the
Company's earning assets during the six months ending June 30, 2006, making up
58.5% of total deposits. The Company's retail CD balances increased $10,932, or
3.3%, from year-end 2005 while wholesale funding deposits (i.e., brokered and
network CD issuances) remained relatively stable from year-end 2005. As interest
rates have continued to rise, wholesale funding rates from brokered and network
CD deposits have increased at a faster pace than funding rates on retail CD
deposits making retail CD deposits more affordable and cost effective to utilize
as a loan funding source.
15
Deposit growth was partially offset by a $9,038, or 9.5%, decrease in the
Company's interest-bearing demand deposits from year-end 2005. This was largely
affected by a decrease in the Company's Gold Club NOW product, which lowered by
$10,671, or 24.5%, from year-end 2005, due to the success of the aforementioned
Market Watch product, which caused this deposit balance shift from NOW account
balances. Furthermore, the Company's interest-free funding source, noninterest
bearing demand deposits, decreased $9,078, or 19.7%, from year-end 2005,
primarily from seasonal decreases in business checking balances from several
large commercial accounts.
The Company will continue to experience increased competition for deposits in
its market areas, which should challenge its net growth in retail CD balances.
The Company will continue to target growth in these retail funds during the
second half of 2006, reflecting the Company's efforts to reduce its reliance on
higher cost funding.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Repurchase agreements, which are financing arrangements that have overnight
maturity terms, were down $7,919, or 27.2%, from year-end 2005. This decline was
mostly due to typical seasonal fluctuations of two commercial accounts in the
first quarter of 2006.
Other Borrowed Funds
The Company also accesses other funding sources, including short-term and
long-term borrowings, to fund asset growth and satisfy short-term liquidity
needs. During the first half of 2006, other borrowed funds were down $7,284, or
9.6%, from year-end 2005, primarily due to the continued emphasis on retail
deposits as the primary source of funding for growth in earning assets.
Management will continue to utilize various wholesale borrowings to help manage
interest rate sensitivity and liquidity.
Shareholders' Equity
The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a
margin of safety for its depositors. Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2006
of $60,064 was up $793, or 1.3%, as compared to the balance of $59,271 on
December 31, 2005. Contributing most to this increase was year-to-date net
income of $3,565. Partially offsetting the growth in capital were cash dividends
paid of $1,401, or $.33 per share year-to-date, and an increase in the amount of
treasury stock repurchases. The Company had treasury stock totaling $8,870 at
June 30, 2006, an increase of $621 as compared to the total at year-end 2005.
The Company anticipates repurchasing additional common shares from time to time
as authorized by its stock repurchase program. The Company's Board of Directors
has authorized the repurchase of up to 175,000 shares of the Company's common
stock through open market and privately negotiated purchases between February
16, 2006 and August 16, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, 9,964 shares had been
repurchased pursuant to that program.
Further offsetting the growth in capital was a decrease in the market value of
available-for-sale securities held by the Company, which lowered shareholders'
equity by $750, net of deferred income taxes. At June 30, 2006, the Company had
an unrealized loss, net of deferred income taxes, of $1,981, compared to an
unrealized loss, net of deferred income taxes, of $1,231 at December 31, 2005.
The Company has approximately 84.8% of its securities classified as
available-for-sale. As a result, the securities and shareholders' equity
sections of the Company's balance sheet are more sensitive to the changing
market values of securities than if the Company held more securities which could
be classified as held-to-maturity.

Comparison of
Results of Operations
for the Quarter and Year-To-Date Periods
Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
----------------------------------------
The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated results of
operations of the Company for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ending June
30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. 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.
Net Interest Income
The most significant portion of the Company's revenue, net interest income,
results from properly managing the spread between interest income on earning
assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company earns
interest and dividend income from loans, investment securities and short-term
investments while incurring interest expense on interest-bearing deposits,
repurchase agreements as well as short and long-term borrowings. For the second
quarter of 2006, net interest income exceeded the same quarterly period in 2005
by $430, or 6.3%. Through the first six months of 2006, net interest income
increased $946, or 6.9%, as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in
quarterly and year-to-date net interest income is primarily due to growth in
earning assets and improvement in the net interest margin in relation to the
sustained rising rate environment with significant increases in short-term rates
over the past year.
Total interest income increased $1,919, or 17.3%, for the second quarter of 2006
and increased $3,607, or 16.3%, through the first half of 2006 as compared to
the same periods in 2005. Growth in 2006's year-to-date average earning assets
of $35,086, or 5.2%, as compared to the same period in 2005 was complemented
with a 70 basis point increase in asset yields, growing from 6.61% to 7.31% for
the same time periods. The growth in average earning assets was largely
comprised of commercial loan participations as well as real estate mortgages
since June 2005. The significant change in asset yields can be attributed to the
rising rate environment that has generated consistent increases in short-term
interest rates that have been evident since June 2004. Between June 2004 and
June 2006, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee has increased the target
federal funds rate 425 basis points, causing a similar increase in short-term
market interest rates. The Company's commercial and participation loan
portfolios were most sensitive to the increase in short-term interest rates,
with weighted average loan yields up 106 basis points from 6.48% at June 30,
2005 to 7.54% at June 30, 2006. Market driven longer-term interest rates have
risen very little during this same period, causing the Company's real estate
loan portfolio yields to increase at a slower pace than commercial and
participation loans.
Total interest expense increased $1,489, or 34.5%, for the second quarter of
2006 and increased $2,661, or 31.5%, through the first half of 2006 as compared
to the same periods in 2005 as a result of higher rates and larger average
earning asset balances which required additional funding. The increase came
mostly from interest expense incurred on the Bank's CD account deposits, which
have been more responsive to the rising rate environment experienced since June
2005. The weighted average cost of the Bank's CD balances grew 81 basis points
from 3.16% at June 30, 2005 to 3.97% at June 30, 2006. The change in interest
expense was further impacted by the Company's money market accounts largely due
to the new Market Watch product added in 2005 with tiered market rates that
compete well with other such rate offerings in the Company's existing market
areas. As a result of the continued rise in rates, the Bank's weighted average
funding costs have increased 65 basis points from June 30, 2005 to June 30,
2006.
17
The Federal Reserve's actions to increase interest rates over the past year has
been effective in allowing asset yields to grow. This, combined with the
Company's emphasis on profitable loan pricing, has contributed to growth in the
net interest margin, increasing 1 basis point to 4.09% for the second quarter of
2006 and increasing 7 basis points to 4.17% for the year-to-date period ended
June 30, 2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005. However, additional
pressures have been felt by increased funding costs in relation to the same
sustained rising rate environment resulting in a compression of the Company's
net interest margin since year-end 2005. This is evident when comparing the
Company's second quarter net interest margin of 4.09% at June 30, 2006 to the
previous linked quarter at March 31, 2006 of 4.24%, a decrease of 15 basis
points. While the frequency and size of changes in market interest rates are
difficult to predict, management believes that the end of future interest rate
increases is near and that such market rates should continue to stabilize for
the remainder of 2006. The anticipated combinations of modest earning asset
growth and a compressing net interest margin should continue to stabilize net
interest income growth for the remainder of 2006. For additional discussion on
the Company's rate sensitive assets and liabilities, please see Item 3,
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk of this Form 10-Q.
Provision for Loan Losses
Management performs, on a quarterly basis, a detailed analysis of the allowance
for loan losses that encompasses loan portfolio composition, loan quality, loan
loss experience and other relevant economic factors. During the first half of
2006, provision expense increased $809 over the same time period in 2005. This
increase is primarily a direct result of the Company's increase in nonperforming
loan balances and increasing rate of loan growth over the 12 months ended June
30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the Company's nonperforming loan balances had
increased to $7,305, compared to $2,557 at year-end 2005 and $2,824 at June 30,
2005 as a result of the three commercial relationships already discussed under
the caption "Allowance for Loan Losses" within this management's discussion and
analysis. As a result, through the first half of 2006, the ratio of the
Company's nonperforming loans to total loans increased to 1.17%, compared to
0.41% at December 31, 2005 and .48% at June 30, 2005, while nonperforming assets
to total assets also increased to 1.23%, compared to .62% and .67% for the same
time periods. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate
and reflective of probable losses in the portfolio. The allowance for loan
losses was 1.30% of total loans at June 30, 2006, up from 1.16% at December 31,
2005. Future provisions to the allowance for loan losses will continue to be
based on management's quarterly in-depth evaluation that is discussed further in
detail under the caption "Critical Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan
Losses" of this Form 10-Q.
Noninterest Income
Net interest income was supplemented by growth in total noninterest income,
increasing $141, or 10.0%, during the second quarter of 2006 and $189, or 7.1%,
through the first half of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005.
Quarterly and year-to-date results were impacted most by earnings from the
Company's bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") contracts, which increased $126, or
87.5%, and $165, or 56.5%, in 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005,
respectively. BOLI activity was impacted by additional investments in life
insurance contracts purchased, higher earnings rate on such contracts and life
insurance proceeds received in June 2006. Since June 30, 2005, the Company's
investment in BOLI has increased $1,814, or 12.8%. Other noninterest income was
also up $41, or 10.7%, during the second quarter of 2006 and $100, or 14.3%,
through the first half of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005.
Debit card interchange fees were the key drivers of other noninterest income,
increasing $18, or 17.7%, in the second quarter of 2006 and $35, or 17.3%,
through the first half of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005. The
volume of transactions utilizing the Company's Jeanie(R) Plus debit card
continue to increase over a year ago. The Company's customers used their
Jeanie(R) Plus debit cards to complete 484,188 transactions during the first
half of 2006, up 21.4% from the 398,734 transactions during the same period in
2005, derived mostly from gasoline and restaurant purchases. Other noninterest
18
income growth also came from gains on sale of OREO and insurance commission
sales from loan originations. Partially offsetting the increases from BOLI and
other noninterest revenue was a decrease in the Company's service charge on
deposit accounts, lowering $29, or 3.6%, during 2006's second quarter and $76,
or 5.0%, during the first half of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in
2005, due to the growth in the number of service charge free checking accounts
(Easy Checking) which also feature no minimum balance requirements.
Noninterest Expense
The Company remains committed to improving efficiency by placing strong emphasis
on overhead expense control. During the second quarter of 2006, total
noninterest expense was up $56, or 1.1%, as compared to the same period in 2005.
Through the first half of 2006, noninterest expense was up $179, or 1.7%, as
compared to the same period in 2005. Contributing most to the quarterly and
year-to-date increase were salaries and employee benefits, the Company's largest
noninterest expense item, which increased $87, or 2.8%, for the second quarter
of 2006 and $200, or 3.2%, for the first half of 2006 as compared to the same
time periods in 2005. This increase was largely due to higher salaries and
benefit costs from annual salary adjustments as well as higher accrued incentive
costs based on the Company's higher earnings per share reflected in the first
two quarters of 2006. Data processing expenses also increased $31, or 18.5%,
during the second quarter of 2006 and $85, or 25.7%, during the first half of
2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005, primarily from the
transactional volume increase in the Company's Jeanie(R) Plus debit cards.
Increases in personnel and data processing costs were partially offset by a
decrease in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses, which were down $20, or
3.3%, during the second quarter of 2006 and $48, or 3.9%, during the first half
of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in 2005. This was in large part due
to the maturities of depreciation terms on several asset acquisitions from
previous years as well as the decreasing nature of current depreciable assets
that have incurred lower depreciation expense during 2006. Other noninterest
expense was down $42, or 3.0%, during the second quarter of 2006 and $58, or
1.8%, during the first half of 2006 as compared to the same time periods in
2005, primarily from non-recurring accounting costs paid in 2005 to comply with
the internal controls and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Capital Resources
All of the Company's capital ratios exceeded the regulatory minimum guidelines
as identified in the following table:
Company Ratios Regulatory Well
6/30/06 12/31/05 Minimum Capitalized
------- -------- ---------- -----------
Tier 1 risk-based capital 12.4% 12.3% 4.00% 6.0%
Total risk-based capital ratio 13.6% 13.5% 8.00% 10.0%
Leverage ratio 9.8% 9.9% 4.00% 5.0%
Cash dividends paid of $1,401 for the first half of 2006 represent a 4.7%
increase over the cash dividends paid during the same period in 2005. The
quarterly dividend rate increased from $0.16 per share in 2005 to $0.17 per
share in 2006. The dividend rate has increased in proportion to the consistent
growth in retained earnings. At June 30, 2006, approximately 80% of the
Company's shareholders were enrolled in the Company's dividend reinvestment
plan. As part of the Company's stock purchase program, management will continue
to utilize reinvested dividends and voluntary cash, if necessary, to purchase
shares on the open market to be redistributed through the dividend reinvestment
plan.

Liquidity
Liquidity relates to the Company'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, held-to-maturity securities maturing
within one year and securities available-for-sale of $83,173 represented 11.0%
of total assets at June 30, 2006. In addition, the FHLB offers advances to the
Bank which further enhances the Bank's ability to meet liquidity demands. At
June 30, 2006, the Bank could borrow an additional $70,000 from the FHLB. The
Bank also has the ability to purchase federal funds from several of its
correspondent banks. For further cash flow information, see the condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows contained in this Form 10-Q. Management
does not rely on any single source of liquidity and monitors the level of
liquidity based on many factors affecting the Company's financial condition.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As discussed in Note 4 - Concentrations of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments
with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, the Company engages in certain off-balance sheet
credit-related activities, including commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit, which could require the Company to make cash payments in the
event that specified future events occur. Commitments to extend credit are
agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. While these commitments are
necessary to meet the financing needs of the Company's customers, many of these
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the
total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with
the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes, provide
information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the
financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views
critical accounting policies to be those that are highly dependent on subjective
or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those
estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial
statements. Management currently views the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses to be a critical accounting policy.
Allowance for loan losses
To arrive at the total dollars necessary to maintain an allowance level
sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred at a specific financial statement
date, management has developed procedures to establish and then evaluate the
allowance once determined. The allowance consists of the following components:
specific allocation, general allocation and other estimated general allocation.
To arrive at the amount required for the specific allocation component, the
Company evaluates loans for which a loss may be incurred either in part or
whole. To achieve this task, the Company has created a quarterly report
("Watchlist") which lists the loans from each loan portfolio that management
deems to be potential credit risks. The criteria to be placed on this report
are: past due 60 or more days, nonaccrual and loans management has determined to
be potential problem loans. These loans are reviewed and analyzed for potential
loss by the Large Loan Review Committee, which consists of the President of the
Company and members of senior management with lending authority. The function of
the Committee is to review and analyze large borrowers for credit risk,
scrutinize the Watchlist and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses and other credit related issues. The Committee has established a grading
system
20
to evaluate the credit risk of each commercial borrower on a scale of 1 (least
risk) to 10 (greatest risk). After the Committee evaluates each relationship
listed in the report, a specific loss allocation may be assessed. The specific
allocation is currently made up of amounts allocated to the commercial and real
estate loan portfolios.
Included in the specific allocation analysis are impaired loans, which consist
of loans with balances of $200 or more on nonaccrual status or non-performing in
nature. These loans are also individually analyzed and a specific allocation may
be assessed based on expected credit loss. Collateral dependent loans will be
evaluated to determine a fair value of the collateral securing the loan. Any
changes in the impaired allocation will be reflected in the total specific
allocation.
The second component (general allowance) is based upon total loan portfolio
balances minus loan balances already reviewed (specific allocation). The Large
Loan Review Committee evaluates credit analysis reports that provide management
with a "snapshot" of information on borrowers with larger-balance loans
(aggregate balances of $1,000 or greater), including loan grades, collateral
values, and other factors. A list is prepared and updated quarterly that allows
management to monitor this group of borrowers. Therefore, only small balance
commercial loans and homogeneous loans (consumer and real estate loans) are not
specifically reviewed to determine minor delinquencies, current collateral
values and present credit risk. The Company utilizes actual historic loss
experience as a factor to calculate the probable losses for this component of
the allowance for loan losses. This risk factor reflects an actual 1 year or 3
year performance evaluation of credit losses per loan portfolio, whichever is
greater. The risk factor is achieved by taking the average net charge-off per
loan portfolio for the last 12 or 36 consecutive months, whichever is greater,
and dividing it by the average loan balance for each loan portfolio over the
same time period. The Company believes that by using the greater of the 12 or 36
month average loss risk factor, the estimated allowance will more accurately
reflect current probable losses.
The final component used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance includes five
additional areas that management believes can have an impact on collecting all
principal due. These areas are: 1) delinquency trends, 2) current local economic
conditions, 3) non-performing loan trends, 4) recovery vs. charge-off, and 5)
personnel changes. Each of these areas is given a percentage factor, from a low
of 10% to a high of 30%, determined by the degree of impact it may have on the
allowance. To calculate the impact of other economic conditions on the
allowance, the total general allowance is multiplied by this factor. These
dollars are then added to the other two components to provide for economic
conditions in the Company's assessment area. The Company's assessment area takes
in a total of ten counties in Ohio and West Virginia. Each assessment area has
its individual economic conditions; however, the Company has chosen to average
the risk factors for compiling the economic risk factor.
The adequacy of the allowance may be determined by certain specific and
nonspecific allocations; however, the total allocation is available for any
credit losses that may impact the loan portfolios.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains a diversified credit portfolio, with commercial loans
currently comprising the most significant portion. Credit risk is primarily
subject to loans made to businesses and individuals in central and southeastern
Ohio as well as western West Virginia. 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's goal for interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain a
balance between steady net interest income growth and the risks associated with
interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of the
Company's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting
this risk can be an important source of profitability, but excessive levels of
IRR can threaten the Company's earnings and capital.
The Company evaluates IRR through the use of an earnings simulation model to
analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The modeling
process starts with a base case simulation, which assumes a flat interest rate
scenario. The base case scenario is compared to rising and falling interest rate
scenarios assuming a parallel shift in all interest rates. Comparisons of net
interest income and net income fluctuations from the flat rate scenario
illustrate the risks associated with the projected balance sheet structure.
The Company's Asset/Liability Committee monitors and manages IRR within Board
approved policy limits. The current IRR policy limits anticipated changes in net
interest income over a 12 month horizon to plus or minus 10% of the base net
interest income assuming a parallel rate shock of up 100, 200 and 300 basis
points and down 100 and 200 basis points. Based on the current interest rate
environment, management did not test interest rates down 300 basis points.
The following table presents the Company's estimated net interest income
sensitivity:
June 30, 2006 December 31, 2005
Change in Interest Rates Percentage Change in Percentage Change in
in Basis Points Net Interest Income Net Interest Income
------------------------ -------------------- --------------------
+300 (5.54%) (3.35%)
+200 (2.38%) (.86%)
+100 (.55%) (.09%)
-100 .34% (.25%)
-200 .29% (.45%)
The estimated change in net interest income reflects minimal interest rate risk
exposure and is well within the policy guidelines established by the Board. At
June 30, 2006, the Company's analysis of net interest income reflects a modest
liability sensitive position. Based on current assumptions, an instantaneous
increase in interest rates would negatively impact net interest income primarily
due to variable-rate loans reaching their annual interest rate cap or
potentially their lifetime interest rate cap. Furthermore, in a rising rate
environment, the prepayment amounts on loans and mortgage-backed securities slow
down, producing less cash flow to reinvest at higher interest rates. In an
instantaneous decrease in interest rates, the analysis reflects a balanced
interest rate risk profile which produces a nominal increase in net interest
income. As compared to December 31, 2005, the Company's interest rate risk
profile has become more liability sensitive in anticipation of interest rates
peaking in 2006 and potentially decreasing in 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (the
principal executive officer) and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
(the principal financial officer) of Ohio Valley, Ohio Valley's management has
evaluated the effectiveness of Ohio Valley's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on
22
that evaluation, Ohio Valley's President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Ohio Valley's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the quarterly
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by Ohio Valley in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
Ohio Valley in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to Ohio Valley's management, including its
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in Ohio Valley's internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Ohio
Valley's fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, Ohio Valley's internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which Ohio Valley or any of
its subsidiaries is a party, other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental
to their respective businesses. In the opinion of Ohio Valley's management,
these proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
effect on Ohio Valley's results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item
1A. Risk Factors" in Ohio Valley's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 16, 2006 and available at www.sec.gov. These risk factors could materially
affect the Company's business, financial condition or future results. The risk
factors described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks
facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to
the Company or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may
materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and/or
operating results.
