Ohio Valley Banc Corp.
Annual Report 2018

Digging in for a bright future...

OVB officers and community leaders break ground for 
OVB on the Square, August 7, 2018

will  be  Ohio  Valley  Bank’s  4th  branch  in  West 
Virginia, joined by Point Pleasant, Barboursville, 
and Milton, and is expected to open mid 2019.

  How fitting the address is 
360 Second Avenue 
as we return to our roots.

Behind  this  growth 
is 
our  Community  First 
mission,  a  promise  to 
help  our  rural  communi-
ties  not  only  survive  but 
thrive.  Your  employees 
gave generously of them-
selves in 2018 with 3,412 
hours  in  community  ser-
vice  (that’s  426.5  work  days)  for  their  home-
towns.

We will be talking more about our Community 
First  mission  at  this  year’s  Annual  Sharehold-
ers Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 15, 
2019. The meeting will be held at the Morris & 
Dorothy  Haskins  Ariel  Theatre  at  5  p.m.  with 
social hour before. We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey E. Smith   
Chairman of the Board       President and CEO

A Message from Management

Dear Neighbors and Friends,

2018  was  certainly  a  formative  year  for  your 
Company  with  a  significant 
upgrade to our mobile bank-
ing  platform  and  not  one, 
but two, major construction 
projects breaking ground. 

In Gallia County, the Bank’s 
commitment  to  bring  back 
to life one of its first homes 
became reality with the start 
of work at OVB on the Square. How fitting the 
address  is  360  Second  Avenue  as  we  return  to 
our roots. This new facility will not be a branch, 
but instead will serve as the new headquarters 
for your Company. The Main Office campus on 
Third Avenue will remain open and will contin-
ue  to  house  a  working  branch,  our  Operations 
Center,  and  administrative  offices.  Opening  of 
OVB on the Square is anticipated for 2020.

Upriver,  our  Bend  Area  Office  is  progressing 
nicely.  Located  next  to  Bob  Evans  in  Mason, 
West Virginia, this branch will more convenient-
ly  serve  our  Meigs  and  Mason  customers  with 
drive-thru service for teller windows, night de-
posit, and ATM, as well as 2,100 square feet of 
customer-friendly space.  The Bend Area Office 

Putting Community First in our hearts and minds 
is more than a mission...it’s a way of life.

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Description of Business:  Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (”Ohio Valley”) is a financial holding company registered under the Bank 
Holding Company Act of 1956.  Ohio Valley has one banking subsidiary, The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the “Bank”), an 
Ohio state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and is regulated primarily by the Ohio Division of 
Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board.  Ohio Valley also has a subsidiary  that engages  in consumer lending 
generally to individuals with higher credit risk history, Loan Central, Inc.; a subsidiary insurance agency that facilitates the 
receipts of insurance commissions, Ohio Valley Financial Services Agency, LLC; and a limited purpose property and casualty 
insurance company, OVBC Captive, Inc.  The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Ohio Valley REO, LLC ("Ohio Valley 
REO"),  an  Ohio  limited  liability  company,  to  which  the  Bank  transfers  certain  real  estate  acquired  by  the  Bank  through 
foreclosure for sale by Ohio Valley REO. Ohio Valley and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” 

The Company provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services from 25 offices located in southeastern 
Ohio  and  western  West  Virginia.  It  accepts  deposits  in  checking,  savings,  time  and  money  market  accounts  and  makes 
personal, commercial, floor plan, student, construction and real estate loans.  Substantially all loans are secured by specific 
items of collateral, including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans 
are expected to be repaid from cash flow from business operations. The Company also offers safe deposit boxes, wire transfers 
and  other  standard  banking  products  and  services.  The  Bank’s  deposits  are  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance 
Corporation.  In addition to accepting deposits and making loans, the Bank invests in U. S. Government and agency obligations, 
interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and investments permitted by applicable law. 

The Bank’s trust department provides a wide variety of fiduciary services for trusts, estates and benefit plans and also 

provides investment and security services as an agent for its customers. 

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio Valley and its wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, the Bank, Loan Central, Inc., Ohio Valley Financial Services Agency, LLC, and OVBC Captive, Inc.  All material 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

Industry Segment Information:  Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business, 
banking and consumer finance. 

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in  conformity  with accounting  principles generally accepted in  the U.S., 
management  makes estimates and assumptions based on available  information. These estimates and  assumptions affect the 
amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal 
funds  sold  and  interest-bearing  deposits  with  banks  with  maturity  terms  of  less  than  90  days.  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. 

Certificates  of  deposit  in  financial  institutions:    Certificates  of  deposit  in  financial  institutions  are  carried  at  cost  and  have 
maturity terms of 90 days or greater.  The longest maturity date is September 27, 2021. 

Securities: The Company classifies securities into held to maturity and available for sale categories. Held to maturity securities 
are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Securities 
classified as available for sale include securities that could be sold for liquidity, investment management or similar reasons 
even if there is not a present intention of such a sale. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized 
gains or losses included in other comprehensive income, net of tax. 

Premium amortization is deducted from, and discount accretion is added to, interest income on securities using the 
level  yield  method  without  anticipating  prepayments,  except  for  mortgage-backed  securities  where  prepayments  are 
anticipated. Gains and losses are recognized upon the sale of specific identified securities on the completed trade date.

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Other-Than-Temporary  Impairments  of  Securities:  In  determining  an  other-than-temporary 
impairment  (“OTTI”), 
management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than 
cost,  (2)  the  financial  condition  and  near-term  prospects  of  the  issuer,  (3)  whether  the  market  decline  was  affected  by 
macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be 
required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an OTTI decline exists involves a 
high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.  

When an OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell 
the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less 
any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before 
recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the 
entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not 
intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery 
of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss 
and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the 
present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to 
other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the 
OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. 

Restricted  Investments  in  Bank  Stocks:  The  Bank  is  a  member  of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (“FHLB”) 
system.  Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) system.  Members are required to own a 
certain amount of stock based on their level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts.  FHLB stock 
and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate 
recovery of par value.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. The Company has additional investments in other 
restricted bank stocks that are not material to the financial statements. 

Loans:  Loans  that  management  has  the  intent  and  ability  to  hold  for  the  foreseeable  future  or  until  maturity  or  payoff  are 
reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan 
losses. Interest income is reported on an accrual basis using the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan 
fees and costs over the loan term using the level yield method without anticipating prepayments.  The amount of the Company’s 
recorded investment is not materially different than the amount of unpaid principal balance for loans. 

Interest  income  is  discontinued  and  the  loan  moved  to  non-accrual  status  when  full  loan  repayment  is  in  doubt, 
typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due 90 days or over unless the loan is well-secured or in process of 
collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-
off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days 
or over and still accruing include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and 
individually classified impaired loans. 

All  interest  accrued  but  not  received  for  loans  placed  on  nonaccrual  is  reversed  against  interest  income.  Interest 
received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to 
accrual  status  when  all  the  principal  and  interest  amounts  contractually  due  are  brought  current  and  future  payments  are 
reasonably assured. 

The  Bank  also  originates  long-term,  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans,  with  full  intention  of  being  sold  to  the  secondary 
market.  These loans are considered held for sale during the period of time after the principal has been advanced to the borrower 
by the Bank, but before the Bank has been reimbursed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, typically within a 
few business days.  As of December 31, 2018, loans held for sale by the Bank totaled $108, as compared to no loans held for 
sale at December 31, 2017.

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Allowance for Loan Losses:  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.  Loan 
losses  are  charged  against  the  allowance  when  management  believes  the  uncollectibility  of  a  loan  balance  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.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the 
Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Loans for which 
the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties are considered troubled debt 
restructurings and classified as impaired. 

Factors  considered  by  management  in  determining  impairment  include  payment  status,  collateral  value,  and  the 
probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments  when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment 
delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment 
delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan 
and  the  borrower,  including  the  length  and  reasons  for  the  delay,  the  borrower’s  prior  payment  record,  and  the  amount  of 
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.   

Commercial  and  commercial  real  estate  loans  are  individually  evaluated  for  impairment.  If  a  loan  is  impaired,  a 
portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using 
the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Smaller balance 
homogeneous  loans,  such  as  consumer  and  most  residential  real  estate,  are  collectively  evaluated  for  impairment,  and 
accordingly, they are not separately identified  for  impairment disclosure.  Troubled debt  restructurings are  measured  at  the 
present  value of estimated  future cash  flows using  the  loan’s  effective  rate at inception.  If a troubled debt  restructuring is 
considered to be a collateral dependent loan,  the  loan  is  reported,  net,  at  the  fair  value  of the collateral.  For  troubled debt 
restructurings that subsequently default, the  Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance  with the accounting 
policy for the allowance for loan losses. 

The  general  component  covers  non-impaired  loans  and  impaired  loans  that  are  not  individually  reviewed  for 
impairment and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined 
by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent 3 years for the 
consumer and real estate portfolio segment and 5 years for the commercial portfolio segment. The total loan portfolio’s actual 
loss experience is supplemented  with other economic  factors based  on the risks  present  for  each portfolio  segment.  These 
economic factors include consideration of the following:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of 
and trends in charge-offs  and recoveries; trends  in volume  and  terms of loans; effects  of any changes  in  risk selection and 
underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending 
management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of 
changes  in  credit  concentrations.  The  following  portfolio  segments  have  been  identified:  Commercial  and  Industrial, 
Commercial Real Estate, Residential Real Estate, and Consumer. 

Commercial  and  industrial  loans  consist  of  borrowings  for  commercial  purposes  to  individuals,  corporations, 
partnerships, sole proprietorships, and other business enterprises.  Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by 
business assets such as equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, or any other asset excluding real estate and generally made 
to finance capital expenditures or operations.  The Company’s risk exposure is related to deterioration in the value of collateral 
securing  the  loan  should  foreclosure  become  necessary.  Generally,  business  assets  used  or  produced  in  operations  do  not 
maintain their value upon foreclosure, which may require the Company to write down the value significantly to sell. 

Commercial real estate consists of nonfarm, nonresidential loans secured by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied 
commercial real estate as well as commercial construction  loans.  An owner-occupied loan relates to a borrower purchased 
building or space for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon cash flows from the ongoing business operations 
conducted by the party, or an affiliate of the party, who owns the property.  Owner-occupied loans that are dependent on cash 
flows  from operations  can  be adversely  affected  by current  market conditions  for their   product or service.  A nonowner- 

17 

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

occupied loan is a property loan for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon rental income associated with the 
property or the subsequent sale of the property.  Nonowner-occupied loans that are dependent upon rental income are primarily 
impacted  by  local  economic  conditions  which  dictate  occupancy  rates  and  the  amount  of  rent  charged.  Commercial 
construction loans consist of borrowings to purchase and develop raw land into 1-4 family residential properties.  Construction 
loans are extended to individuals as well as corporations for the construction of an individual or multiple properties and are 
secured by raw land and the subsequent improvements.  Repayment of the loans to real estate developers is dependent upon 
the sale of properties to third parties in a timely fashion upon completion.  Should there be delays in construction or a downturn 
in the market for those properties, there may be significant erosion in value which may be absorbed by the Company. 

Residential real estate loans consist of loans to individuals for the purchase of 1-4 family primary residences with 
repayment primarily through wage or other income sources of the individual borrower.  The Company’s loss exposure to these 
loans is dependent on local market conditions for residential properties as loan amounts are determined, in part, by the fair 
value of the property at origination. 

Consumer loans are comprised of loans to individuals secured by automobiles, open-end home equity loans and other 
loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, both secured and unsecured.  These loans typically 
have maturities of 6 years or less with repayment dependent on individual wages and income.  The risk of loss on consumer 
loans is elevated as the collateral securing these loans, if any, rapidly depreciate in value or may be worthless and/or difficult 
to locate if repossession is necessary.  The Company has allocated the highest percentage of its allowance for loan losses as a 
percentage  of  loans  to  the  other  identified  loan  portfolio  segments  due  to  the  larger  dollar  balances  associated  with  such 
portfolios. 

At  December  31,  2018,  there  were  no  changes  to  the  accounting  policies  or  methodologies  within  any  of  the 

Company’s loan portfolio segments from the prior period. 

Concentrations  of  Credit  Risk:  The  Company  grants  residential,  consumer  and  commercial  loans  to  customers  located 
primarily in the southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia areas. 

The following represents the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31: 

  % of Total Loans 
    2017 
  2018 

Residential real estate loans  ……………………….        39.13%   
40.19 %
27.74 %
27.84%   
Commercial real estate loans  ……………………..  
18.46%          18.15 %
Consumer loans   ………………………………….  
13.92 %
14.57%   
Commercial and industrial loans   ……………........  
100.00 %
100.00% 

Approximately 5.02% of total loans were unsecured at December 31, 2018, up from 4.86% at December 31, 2017. 

The Bank, in the normal course of its operations, conducts business with correspondent financial institutions. Balances 
in  correspondent  accounts,  investments  in  federal  funds,  certificates  of  deposit  and  other  short-term  securities  are  closely 
monitored to ensure that prudent levels of credit and liquidity risks are maintained.  At December 31, 2018, the Bank’s primary 
correspondent balance was $56,071 on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank, Cleveland, Ohio. 

Premises and Equipment:  Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, 
which  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  owned  asset  and,  for  leasehold 
improvement, over the remaining term of the leased facility, whichever is shorter. The useful lives range from 3 to 8 years for 
equipment, furniture and fixtures and 7 to 39 years for buildings and improvements. 

Foreclosed assets:  Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell 
when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  Physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer 
mortgage loan occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower conveys all interest in 
the property to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. These

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent 
to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed. Foreclosed 
assets totaled $430 and $1,574 at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

Goodwill:  Goodwill  arises  from  business  combinations  and  is  generally  determined  as  the  excess  of  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets 
acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  as  of  the  acquisition  date.  Goodwill  acquired  in  a  purchase  business  combination  and 
determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is the only 
intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform its 
annual  qualitative  impairment  test.   Given  that  the  Company  has  been  profitable  and  had  positive  equity,  the  qualitative 
assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill was more than the carrying amount, resulting 
in no impairment.   

Long-term Assets:  Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their 
carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. 

Mortgage  Servicing  Rights:  A  mortgage  servicing  right  (“MSR”)  is  a  contractual  agreement  where  the  right  to  service  a 
mortgage loan is sold by the original lender to another party. When the Company sells mortgage loans to the secondary market, 
it retains the servicing rights to these loans. The Company’s MSR is recognized separately when acquired through sales of 
loans  and  is  initially  recorded  at  fair  value  with  the  income  statement  effect  recorded  in  mortgage  banking  income. 
Subsequently, the MSR is  then amortized in  proportion  to and  over  the  period of estimated  future  servicing income  of the 
underlying loan. The MSR is then evaluated for impairment periodically based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to 
the carrying amount, with any impairment being recognized through a valuation allowance. Fair value of the MSR is based on 
market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based 
on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type.  If the Company later determines that all 
or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an 
increase to income.  At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s MSR assets were $368 and $360, respectively. 

Earnings Per Share:  Earnings per share is based on net income divided by the following weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the periods: 4,725,971 for 2018; 4,685,067 for 2017; 4,351,748 for 2016.  Ohio Valley had no dilutive 
effect and no potential common shares issuable under stock options or other agreements for any period presented.  

Income Taxes: 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. The effect on deferred 
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized at the time of enactment of such change in tax rates.  A valuation 
allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts 
and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted, which among other things, reduced the federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective 
January 1, 2018.  This required the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to be revalued using the 21% federal tax rate 
enacted.  The effect was recorded in the fourth quarter tax provision of 2017. 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in 
a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit 
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, 
no  tax  benefit  is  recorded.  The  Company  recognizes  interest  and/or  penalties  related  to  income  tax  matters  in  income  tax 
expense. 

Comprehensive  Income:  Comprehensive  income  consists  of  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income  (loss).  Other 
comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as 
separate components of equity, net of tax. 

Loss  Contingencies:  Loss  contingencies,  including  claims  and  legal  actions  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  are 
recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. 
Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Bank  Owned  Life  Insurance  and  Annuity  Assets:  The  Company  has  purchased  life  insurance  policies  on  certain  key 
executives.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance 
sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. 
The Company also purchased an annuity investment for a certain key executive that earns interest. 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be 
allocated to participant accounts. 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan:  The Company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The plan enables shareholders to elect 
to have their cash dividends on all or a portion of shares held automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s 
common stock. The stock is issued out of the Company’s authorized shares and credited to participant accounts at fair market 
value. Dividends are reinvested on a quarterly basis. 

Loan  Commitments and  Related Financial Instruments:  Financial instruments  include off-balance  sheet credit instruments, 
such  as  commitments  to  make  loans  and  commercial  letters  of  credit,  issued  to  meet  customer  financing  needs.  The  face 
amount  for  these  items  represents  the  exposure  to  loss,  before  considering  customer  collateral  or  ability  to  repay.  These 
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.  See Note L for more specific disclosure related to loan commitments. 

Dividend Restrictions:  Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the 
Bank  to  Ohio  Valley  or  by  Ohio  Valley  to  its  shareholders.   See  Note  P  for  more  specific  disclosure  related  to  dividend 
restrictions. 

Restrictions on Cash:  Cash on hand or on deposit with a third-party correspondent and the Federal Reserve Bank of $60,167 
and $61,915 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2018 and 2017.  The balances on 
deposit with a third-party correspondent do not earn interest. 

Derivatives:  At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on 
the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge.  These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of 
a  recognized  asset  or  liability  or  of  an  unrecognized  firm  commitment  (“fair  value  hedge”),  (2)  a  hedge  of  a  forecasted 
transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), 
or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”).    

Net  cash  settlements  on  derivatives  that  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  are  recorded  in  interest  income  or  interest 
expense, based on the item being hedged.  Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are 
reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of 
the items being hedged. 

At  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  Company’s  only  derivatives  on  hand  were  interest  rate  swaps,  which  are 

classified as stand-alone derivatives.  See Note H for more specific disclosures related to interest rate swaps.    

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and 
other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note  O.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant 
judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for 
particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. 

Reclassifications:  The  consolidated  financial  statements  for  2017  and  2016  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  the 
presentation for 2018.  These reclassifications had no effect on the net results of operations or shareholders’ equity. 

 Adoption of New Accounting Standards:  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 
2014-09,  which  was  then  adopted  by  the  Company  as  of  January  1,  2018  and  all  subsequent  amendments  to  the  ASU 
(collectively, “ASC 606”).  ASC 606 (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that 
fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, 
such as other real estate owned. The guidance establishes a five-step model which entities must follow to recognize revenue 
and  removes  inconsistencies  and  weaknesses  in  existing  guidance.    Additional  disclosures  providing  information  about 
contracts  with  customers are required. Adoption  did not  have a  material  impact on the Company’s  results of operations or

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

financial position. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method.  As of December 31, 
2017, the Company had no uncompleted customer contracts and as a result, no cumulative transition adjustment was posted to 
the Company’s accumulated deficit during 2018.   

In  January  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2016-01,  "Recognition  and  Measurement  of  Financial  Assets  and 
Financial  Liabilities".  The  update  provided  updated  accounting  and  reporting  requirements  for  both  public  and  non-public 
entities effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using a cumulative-effect adjustment to 
the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The most significant provisions that impacted the Company were: 
1)  measurement  of  equity  securities  at  fair  value,  with  the  changes  in  fair  value  recognized  in  the  income  statement;  2) 
elimination of the requirement to disclose the  method(s) and  significant  assumptions  used  to estimate  the  fair  value that is 
required to be disclosed for financial instruments at amortized cost on the balance sheet; 3) utilization  of the  exit price notion  
when  measuring  the fair value  of  financial  instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) requirement of separate presentation 
of  both  financial  assets  and  liabilities  by  measurement  category  and  form  of  financial  asset  on  the  balance  sheet  or 
accompanying  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  The  Company  adopted  ASU  No.  2016-01  effective  January  1,  2018  and 
determined the impact to be not  material to  the  Company’s financial  statements.   The amendments did change the  method 
utilized to disclose the fair value of the loan portfolio to reflect an exit price notion as opposed to an entry price.  For additional 
information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note O.  

In August 2016, FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows”) (Topic 230), which addressed 
eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and 
cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update applied to all entities, 
including business entities and not-for-profit entities that were required to present a statement of cash flows, and were effective 
for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. 
The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018, which had no impact to the consolidated financial statements 
and related disclosures. 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income”.  The purpose of this Update is to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive 
income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December, 
22, 2017.   The  Update  is  effective  for  public  business  entities  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  and 
interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company 
elected to early adopt this accounting guidance effective April 1, 2018.  This resulted in the reclassification of $173 in stranded 
tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings within the June 30, 2018 Form 10-Q.    

Revenue Recognition:  ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ASC 606 provides that an entity should 
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration 
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance enumerates  five steps that 
entities  should  follow in  achieving  this  core  principle.  Revenue  generated  from  financial  instruments,  such  as  interest  and 
dividends on loans and investment securities, are not included in the scope of ASC 606. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result 
in a change to the accounting for any of the Company’s revenue streams that are within the scope of the amendments. The 
Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to 
the customer. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 are presented in the 
Company’s consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income.  The list below describes the specific 
revenue stream under ASC 606, which corresponds directly to the line item within the statement of income in which it is being 
included:  

  Service charges on deposit accounts – these include general service fees charged for deposit account maintenance and activity 
and transaction-based fees charged for certain services, such as debit card, wire transfer, or overdraft activities. Revenue is 
recognized when the performance obligation is completed, which is generally after a transaction is completed or monthly for 
account maintenance services. 

  Trust fees - this includes periodic fees due from trust customers for managing the customers' financial assets. Fees are generally 
charged on a quarterly or annual basis and are recognized ratably throughout the period, as the services are provided on an 
ongoing basis. 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

  Electronic refund check/deposit fees – A tax refund clearing agreement between the Bank and a tax refund product provider 
requires  the  Bank  to  process  electronic  refund  checks  and  electronic  refund  deposits  presented  for  payment  on  behalf  of 
taxpayers through accounts containing taxpayer refunds. The Bank, in turn, receives a fee paid by the third-party tax software 
provider for each transaction that is processed.  The amount of fees received are tiered based on the tax refund product selected.  
Since the Bank acts as a sub servicer in the tax process relationship, a portion of the fee collected is passed on to the tax refund 
product provider.   

  Debit/credit card interchange income – includes interchange income from cardholder transactions conducted with merchants, 
throughout various interchange networks with which the Company participates.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions 
represent  a  percentage  of  the  underlying  transaction  value  and  are  recognized  daily,  as  transaction  processing  services  are 
provided to the deposit customer.  Gross fees from interchange are recorded in operating income separately from gross network 
costs, which are recorded in operating expense. 

  Gain (loss) on other real estate owned – the Company records a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) 
when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed.  When the Company 
finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations 
under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable.  Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset 
is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.  In determining 
the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing 
component is present. 

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 listed above pertained to 

the banking segment, with no revenue impact recognized from the consumer finance segment during the periods presented.  

Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods:  In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-02, Leases) 
which  will  require  lessees  to  recognize  the  following  for  all  leases  (with  the  exception  of  short-term  leases)  at  the 
commencement date (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured 
on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use 
of,  a  specified  asset  for  the  lease  term.    Under  the  new  guidance,  lessor  accounting  is  largely  unchanged.  Certain  targeted 
improvements  were  made  to  align,  where  necessary,  lessor  accounting  with  the  lessee  accounting  model  and  Topic  606, 
Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers.  The  new  guidance  also  requires  enhanced  disclosure  about  an  entity’s  leasing 
arrangements.  As  allowed  under  ASU  2018-11,  the  Company  will  use  the  optional  transition  method  that  eliminates 
comparative  period  reporting  in  the  year  of  adoption.  Under  the  optional  transition  method,  only  the  most  recent  period 
presented will reflect the adoption and comparative periods will be reported under the old guidance.  The effect of adopting 
this  standard  in  the  first  quarter  of  2019  is  estimated  to  increase  both  assets  and  liabilities  by  $1,484  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated statements of condition. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. ASU 2016-13 requires 
entities to replace the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model, which is referred to as the current expected 
credit loss (“CECL”) model.  These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on 
historical  experience,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and  supportable  forecasts.  This  ASU  will  also  require  enhanced 
disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in 
estimating credit losses, as  well as the  credit quality  and  underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio.  These disclosures 
include  qualitative  and  quantitative  requirements  that  provide  additional  information  about  the  amounts  recorded  in  the 
financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after 
December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning 
after December 15, 2018.  A CECL steering committee has developed a CECL model and is evaluating the source data, various 
credit loss methodologies and model results in relation to the new ASU guidance.  Management expects to recognize a one-
time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the 
new standard is effective.  Management expects the adoption will result in a material increase to the allowance for loan losses 
balance.  At this time, the impact is being evaluated.  

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities 
Receivables”,  which  requires  the  amortization  of  the  premium  on  callable  debt  securities  to  the  earliest  call  date.  The 
amortization period for callable debt securities purchased at a discount would not be impacted by the ASU. This ASU will be 
applied  prospectively  for  annual  and  interim  periods  in  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2018.  The  ASU  is  not 
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note B – Business Combinations 

As of the close of business on August 5, 2016, Ohio Valley completed its merger with Milton Bancorp, Inc. (“Milton 
Bancorp”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 7, 2016, by and between Ohio Valley 
and Milton Bancorp, as amended (the "Merger Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Milton Bancorp 
was merged with and into Ohio Valley.  Immediately following the Merger, The Milton Banking Company (“Milton Bank”) 
was merged with and into the Bank.  As a result of the Merger and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, 
each Milton Bancorp share was converted into the right to receive either 1,636 Ohio Valley common shares, no par value, or 
cash in the amount of $37,219, subject to certain allocation procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement pursuant to which 
80% of the 400 outstanding Milton Bancorp common shares were converted into the right to receive Ohio Valley common 
shares and the remaining 20% of the outstanding Milton Bancorp common shares were converted into the right to receive cash.  
Each  of  the  1,237  Milton  Bancorp  preferred  shares  issued  and  outstanding  were  converted  into  the  right  to  receive  a  cash 
payment in the amount of $3,600 per preferred share.  The consideration paid for Milton Bancorp totaled $18,875, of which 
$11,444 was the market value of the Company’s common shares and $7,431 was cash.  Ohio Valley financed part of the cash 
portion of the purchase price through $5,000 in borrowed  funds.   Milton Bank's results  of  operations  were included in  the 
Company's  results  beginning  August  6,  2016.    Merger-related  expenses  of  $930  were  recorded  to  the  Company’s  income 
statement for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid 
for Milton Bancorp was determined in the basis of the closing price of the Company's common shares on the acquisition date.  
After the Merger, the Company's assets totaled approximately $950 million and branches increased to 25 locations.   

Goodwill of $6,534 arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies from combining the operations of the 
companies.  As the acquisition was treated as a nontaxable stock acquisition transaction, the goodwill was not deductible for 
tax purposes.  The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Milton Bancorp and the amounts of the assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

The fair value of net assets acquired included fair value adjustments to certain receivables that were not considered 
impaired as of the acquisition date. This consisted of non-impaired loans with a fair value of $111,558 and gross contractual 
amounts  receivable  of  $112,249  on  the  date  of acquisition.    The  fair  value  adjustments  were  determined  using  discounted 
contractual cash flows.  The Company also acquired purchase credit impaired loans that management deemed to be not material 
for disclosure.

At year-end 2018 and 2017, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government 

and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity. 

There were no sales of debt securities during 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $79,443 at December 31, 2018 and $70,078 at December 31, 2017 

were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. 

Unrealized  losses  on  the  Company’s  debt  securities  have  not  been  recognized  into  income  because  the  issuers’ 
securities are of  high credit quality  as of December  31,  2018,  and  management does not intend  to  sell  and  it  is likely  that 
management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.  Management does not believe any 
individual unrealized loss at December 31, 2018 and 2017 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

Troubled Debt Restructurings: 

A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) occurs when the Company has agreed to a loan modification in the form of a 
concession  for  a  borrower  who  is  experiencing  financial  difficulty.  All  TDR’s  are  considered  to  be  impaired.   The 
modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate 
of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with 
similar risk; a reduction in the contractual principal and interest payments of the  loan;  or short-term  interest-only payment 
terms.

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $11 and resulted in charge-

offs of $11 during the year ended December 31, 2016 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, a commercial real estate TDR totaling $362 became past due 
90 days or more. Excluding this $362 commercial real estate loan, there were no other TDR's described above at December 31, 
2018 that experienced any payment defaults within twelve months following their loan modification.  During the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2016, the Company placed one commercial real estate TDR totaling $226 on nonaccrual status. Excluding 
this $226 commercial real estate loan, there were no other TDR's at December 31, 2016 that experienced any payment defaults 
within  twelve  months  following  their  loan  modification.  The  Company  had  no  TDR's  that  occurred  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017 that experienced any payment defaults within twelve months following their loan modification.  A default 
is considered to have occurred once the TDR is past due 90 days or more or it has been placed on nonaccrual.  TDR loans are 
returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments 
are reasonably assured.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note D - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 that did not meet 
the definition of a TDR.  These loans have a total recorded investment of $28,738 as of December 31, 2018 and $29,331 as of 
December 31, 2017.  The modification of these loans primarily involved the modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers 
who were not experiencing financial difficulties. 

Credit Quality Indicators: 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to 
service  their  debt,  such  as:  current  financial  information,  historical  payment  experience,  credit  documentation,  public 
information, and current economic trends, among other factors. These risk categories are represented by a loan grading scale 
from  1  through  11.  The  Company  analyzes  loans  individually  with  a  higher  credit  risk  rating  and  groups  these  loans  into 
categories called “criticized” and ”classified” assets. The Company considers its criticized assets to be loans that are graded 8 
and its classified assets to be loans that are graded 9 through 11. The Company’s risk categories are reviewed at least annually 
on loans that have aggregate borrowing amounts that meet or exceed $500. 

The Company uses the following definitions for its criticized loan risk ratings: 

Special  Mention.  Loans  classified  as  special  mention  indicate  considerable  risk  due  to  deterioration  of  repayment  (in  the 
earliest stages) due to potential weak primary repayment source, or payment delinquency.  These loans will be under constant 
supervision, are not classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risks to warrant classification.  These deficiencies 
should be correctable within the normal course of business, although significant changes in company structure or policy may 
be  necessary  to  correct  the  deficiencies.  These  loans  are  considered  bankable  assets  with  no  apparent  loss  of  principal  or 
interest envisioned.  The perceived risk in continued lending is considered to have increased beyond the level where such loans 
would normally be granted.  Credits that are defined as a troubled debt restructuring should be graded no higher than special 
mention until they have been reported as performing over one year after restructuring. 

The Company uses the following definitions for its classified loan risk ratings: 

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard represent very high risk, serious delinquency, nonaccrual, or unacceptable credit. 
Repayment through the primary source of repayment is in jeopardy due to the existence of one or more well defined weaknesses 
and the collateral pledged may inadequately protect collection of the loans. Loss of principal is not likely if weaknesses are 
corrected, although financial statements normally reveal significant weakness. Loans are still considered collectible, although 
loss of principal is more likely than with special mention loan grade 8 loans. Collateral liquidation considered likely to satisfy 
debt. 

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful display a high probability of loss, although the amount of actual loss at the time of 
classification  is  undetermined.  This  should  be  a  temporary  category  until  such  time  that  actual  loss  can  be  identified,  or 
improvements made to reduce the seriousness of the classification. These loans exhibit all substandard characteristics with the 
addition that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. This classification consists 
of loans where the possibility of loss is high after collateral liquidation based upon existing facts, market conditions, and value. 
Loss is deferred until certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may strengthen the credit can be more 
accurately determined. These factors may include proposed acquisitions, liquidation procedures, capital injection, and receipt 
of additional collateral, mergers, or refinancing plans. A doubtful classification for an entire credit should be avoided when 
collection of a specific portion appears highly probable with the adequately secured portion graded substandard.  

Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets 
is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is 
not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset yielding such a minimum value even though partial recovery may be 
affected in the future.  Amounts classified as loss should be promptly charged off. 

Criticized and classified loans will mostly consist of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. The 
Company considers its loans that do not meet the criteria for a criticized and classified asset rating as pass rated loans, which

The Company also obtains the credit scores of its borrowers upon origination (if available by the credit bureau) but 
not thereafter. The Company focuses mostly on the performance and repayment ability of the borrower as an indicator of credit 
risk and does not consider a borrower’s credit score to be a significant influence in the determination of a loan’s credit risk 
grading. 

For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, 
which was previously presented, and by payment activity.  The following table presents the recorded investment of residential 
and consumer loans by class of loans based on payment activity as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.  At December 31, 2018 
and 2017, the Company’s reporting unit had positive equity and the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to 
determine if it was more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.  
The qualitative assessment indicated that it is more likely than not that fair value of goodwill is more than the carrying value, 
resulting in no impairment.  Therefore, the Company did not proceed to step one of the annual goodwill impairment testing 
requirement. 

Acquired intangible assets:  Acquired intangible assets were as follows at year-end:

Note H - Interest Rate Swaps 

The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the 
amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities.  The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its 
asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.  As part of this strategy, the Company provides 
its customer with a fixed-rate loan while creating a variable-rate asset for the Company by the customer entering into an interest 
rate swap with the Company on terms that match the loan.  The Company offsets its risk exposure by entering into an offsetting 
interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution.  These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each 
swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had interest rate swaps associated with 
commercial loans with a notional value of $9,219 and a fair value of $101.  This is compared to interest rate swaps with a 
notional value of $7,234 and a fair value of $59 at December 31, 2017.  The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does 
not represent amounts exchanged by the parties.  The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and 
the other  terms of the individual interest  rate swap  agreement.   To further  offset  the risk exposure  related  to  market  value 
fluctuations of its interest rate swaps, the Company  maintains collateral deposits on hand with a third-party correspondent, 
which totaled $350 at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note I - Other Borrowed Funds 

Other borrowed funds at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are comprised of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
(“FHLB”) of Cincinnati and promissory notes.  At December 31, 2017, FHLB Borrowings included $29 in capitalized lease 
obligations.

Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by $294,575 in qualifying mortgage loans, 
$68,979 in commercial loans and $5,365 in FHLB stock at December 31, 2018. Fixed-rate FHLB advances of $33,434 mature 
through 2042 and have interest rates ranging from 1.53% to 3.31% and a year-to-date weighted average cost of 2.36% and 
2.15% at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were no variable-rate FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2018. 

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a cash management line of credit enabling it to borrow up to $80,000 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 $80,000 available on this line of credit at December 31, 2018. 

Based on the  Company’s current FHLB  stock  ownership,  total  assets  and pledgeable  loans,  the  Company  had  the 
ability to obtain borrowings from the FHLB up to a maximum of $233,432 at December 31, 2018. Of this maximum borrowing 
capacity of $233,432, the Company had $148,298 available to use as additional borrowings, of which $80,000 could be used 
for short-term, cash management advances, as mentioned above. 

Promissory notes, issued primarily by Ohio Valley, are due at various dates through a final maturity date of May 1, 
2023, and have fixed rates ranging from 1.50% to 4.09% and a year-to-date weighted average cost of 2.83% at December 31, 
2018, as compared to 2.77% at December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, there were eight promissory notes payable by Ohio 
Valley to related parties totaling $3,558. See Note M for further discussion of related party transactions.  Promissory notes 
payable to other banks totaled $2,451 at December 31, 2018. 

Letters of credit issued on the Bank’s behalf by the FHLB to collateralize certain public unit deposits as required by 

law totaled $51,700 at December 31, 2018 and $60,000 at December 31, 2017.

Note J - Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities 

On March 22, 2007, a trust formed by Ohio Valley issued $8,500 of adjustable-rate trust preferred securities as part 
of a pooled offering of such securities.  The rate on these trust preferred securities was fixed at 6.58% for five years, and then 
converted to a floating-rate term on March 15, 2012, based on a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.68%.  The interest 
rate on these trust preferred securities was 4.47% at December 31, 2018 and 3.27% at December 31, 2017.  There were no debt 
issuance  costs  incurred  with  these  trust  preferred  securities.  The  Company  issued  subordinated  debentures  to  the  trust  in 
exchange for the proceeds of the offering.  The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than June 15, 2037.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 Note J - Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities (continued) 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  related  indenture  agreements,  the  interest  payable  on  the  trust  preferred  securities  is 
deferrable for up to five years and any such deferral is not considered a default. During any period of deferral, the Company 
would  be  precluded  from  declaring  or  paying  dividends  to  shareholders  or  repurchasing  any  of  the  Company’s  common 
stock.  Under generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the  trusts  are  not  consolidated with the Company.  Accordingly,  the 
Company  does  not  report  the securities issued  by  the  trust  as  liabilities,  and  instead  reports  as  liabilities the subordinated 
debentures  issued  by  the  Company  and  held  by  the trust.  Since the Company’s equity  interest  in  the  trusts  cannot  be 
received until the subordinated debentures are repaid, these amounts have been netted.  The subordinated debentures may be 
included in Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations.   

Note K - Income Taxes 

On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was signed into law, which included several provisions that affected the Company’s 
federal income tax expense, which reduced the federal income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result of the rate 
reduction, the Company was required to re-measure, through income tax expense in the period of enactment, the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities using the enacted rate at which these items are expected to be recovered or settled.  The re-measurement 
of the Company’s net deferred tax asset resulted in additional 2017 income tax expense of $1.8 million  

The provision for income taxes consists of the following components:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note K - Income Taxes (continued) 

The  Company  determined  that  it  was  not  required  to  establish  a  valuation  allowance  for  deferred  tax  assets  since 
management  believes  that  the  deferred  tax  assets  are  likely  to  be  realized  through  the  future  reversals  of  existing  taxable 
temporary differences, deductions against forecasted income and tax planning strategies. 

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s deferred tax asset related to Section 382 net operating loss carryforwards was 

$629, which will expire in 2026. 

The difference between the financial statement tax provision and amounts computed by applying the statutory federal 

income tax rate of 21% in 2018 and 34% in 2017 and 2016 to income before taxes is as follows:

At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does 
not  expect  the  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  to  significantly  change  within  the  next  twelve  months.  As  previously 
reported, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) had proposed that Loan Central, as a tax return preparer, be assessed a penalty 
for allegedly negotiating or endorsing checks issued by the U.S. Treasury to taxpayers. Loan Central consequently appealed 
this matter within the IRS, and felt confident that it was highly unlikely that the penalty recommendation would be sustained. In 
the third quarter of 2018, Loan Central was notified by the IRS that their penalties had been abated and that no liability exists 
regarding the case against them.  As a result, the Company did not recognize any interest and/or penalties related to this matter. 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as West Virginia state income tax.  The Company is no 
longer subject to federal or state examination for years prior to 2015.  The tax years 2015-2017 remain open to federal and state 
examinations.    

Note L - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities 

The Bank 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 include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit 
and financial guarantees. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial 
instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written, is represented by 
the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional 
obligations as it does for instruments recorded on the balance sheet.

2017 

At December 31, 2018, the fixed-rate commitments have interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 7.00% and maturities 

ranging from 15 years to 30 years. 

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 issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a 
customer  to  a  third  party.  Since  many  of  the  commitments  are  expected  to  expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total 
commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.  The  Bank  evaluates  each  customer’s  credit 
worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of 
credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  counterparty.  Collateral  held  varies  but  may  include  accounts 
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. 

During the years covered by these consolidated financial statements, the Company participated as a facilitator of tax 
refunds pursuant to a clearing agreement with a third-party tax refund product provider. The clearing agreement required the 
Bank to process electronic refund checks (“ERC’s”) and electronic refund deposits (“ERD’s”) presented for payment on behalf 
of taxpayers containing taxpayer refunds. The Bank received a fee paid by the third-party tax refund product provider for each 
transaction that is processed. In 2018, the third-party tax refund product provider ceased utilizing the services of the Bank. 

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the financial statements, including claims and legal 
actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after  consultation with legal counsel, the 
ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on financial condition or results of operations.

Life insurance contracts with a cash surrender value of $27,312 and annuity assets of $2,080 at December 31, 2018 
have been purchased by the Company, the owner of the policies.  The purpose of these contracts was to replace a current group 
life insurance program for executive officers, implement a deferred compensation plan for directors and executive officers, 
implement a director retirement plan and implement supplemental retirement plans for certain officers.  Under the deferred 
compensation plan, Ohio Valley pays each participant the amount of fees deferred plus interest over the participant’s desired 
term, upon termination of service.  Under the director retirement plan, participants are eligible to receive ongoing compensation 
payments upon retirement subject to length of service.  The supplemental retirement plans provide payments to select executive 
officers upon retirement based upon a compensation formula determined by Ohio Valley’s Board of Directors.  The present 
value of payments expected to be provided are accrued during the service period of the covered individuals and amounted to 
$7,267 and $6,740 at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Expenses related to the plans for each of the last three years amounted to 
$602, $490, and $399. In association with the split-dollar life insurance plan, the present value of the postretirement benefit 
totaled $2,873 at December 31, 2018 and $2,776 at December 31, 2017. 

During  2017,  the  Company  collected  $2,107  in  proceeds  on  two  BOLI  policies  and  recorded  $1,993  in  proceeds 
expected to be received from the settlement of two other BOLI policies.  This resulted in a $3,586 reduction to BOLI assets 
and a net gain of $514 that was recorded to income.  The proceeds of $1,993 had not yet been collected by year-end 2017 and, 
therefore, were recorded as other assets at December 31, 2017.    

Note O - Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the 
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the 
measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values: 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access 
as of the measurement date. 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, 
quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market 
data. 

Level  3:  Significant  unobservable  inputs  that  reflect  a  company’s  own  assumptions  about  the  assumptions  that  market 
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note O - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) 

The following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values 

of its financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis: 

Securities: The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where 
quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities 
where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash 
flows or other market indicators (Level 3). During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to 
validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are 
reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. 

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried 
at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is 
commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of 
approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by 
the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments 
are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate 
collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted 
or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and 
management’s  expertise  and  knowledge  of  the  client  and  client’s  business,  resulting  in  a  Level  3  fair  value  classification. 
Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. 

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs 
to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value 
less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single 
valuation approach or a  combination of approaches including comparable  sales  and the  income approach.  Adjustments  are 
routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales 
and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs 
for determining fair value. In some instances, fair value adjustments can be made based on a quoted price from an observable 
input, such as a purchase agreement.  Such adjustments would be classified as a Level 2 classification. 

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general 
appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and 
licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of management reviews the assumptions 
and  approaches  utilized  in  the  appraisal  as  well  as  the  overall  resulting  fair  value  in  comparison  with  management’s  own 
assumptions of fair value based on factors that include recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an as-needed basis, 
the Company reviews the fair value of collateral, taking into consideration current market data, as well as all selling costs that 
typically approximate 10%. 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements:  The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined using the market standard 
methodology  of  netting  the  discounted  future  fixed  cash  payments  (or  receipts)  and  the  discounted  expected  variable  cash 
receipts (or payments).  The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward 
curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves (Level 2).

At December 31, 2018, the recorded investment of impaired loans measured for impairment using the fair value of 
collateral for collateral-dependent loans totaled $362, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $98, resulting in an increase 
of  $4  in  provision  expense  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  with  no  corresponding  charge-offs  recognized.    At 
December 31, 2017, the recorded investment of impaired loans measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for 
collateral-dependent loans totaled $972, with no corresponding valuation allowance, resulting in no impact to provision expense 
during the year ended December 31, 2017, with no corresponding charge-offs recognized.   

Other real estate owned that was measured at fair value less costs to sell at December 31, 2018 had a net carrying 
amount of $228, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $2,217, net of a valuation allowance of $1,989 at December 
31, 2018. There were $594 in corresponding write-downs during 2018. Other real estate owned that was measured at fair value 
less costs to sell at December 31, 2017 had a net carrying amount of $822, which is made up of the outstanding balance of 
$2,217, net of a valuation allowance of $1,395 at December 31, 2017. There was $68 in net appreciation during 2017.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows: 

Loans: The fair values of loans as of December 31, 2018 follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an “exit 
price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments resulting in a Level 3 classification. The fair 
value calculation at that date discounted estimated future cash flows using rates that incorporated discounts for credit, liquidity, 
and marketability factors. The fair values of loans as of December 31, 2017 used an “entry price” approach resulting in a Level 
3 classification. The fair value calculation for that date discounted estimated future cash flows using current rates at which 
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about 
the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one 
time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of 
the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, 
current  economic  conditions,  risk  characteristics  of  various  financial  instruments  and  other  factors.  These  estimates  are 
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with 
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note P - Regulatory Matters 

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking 
agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative 
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Capital 
amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can 
initiate regulatory action.  The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. 
banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the 
requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019.  Minimum requirements 
increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new common 
equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The 
capital  conservation  buffer  began  to  phase  in  on  January  1,  2016  at  0.625%,  and  increased  by  the  same  amount  on  each 
subsequent January 1 over a four-year period.  The fully phased-in capital conservation buffer as of January 1, 2019 is 2.5%.  
For 2018 and 2017, the phase-in transition portion of that buffer was 1.875% and 1.25%, respectively. Further, Basel III rules 
increased the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, and all banks are now subject to a 
4.0%  minimum  leverage  ratio.  The  required  total  risk-based  capital  ratio  was  unchanged.  Failure  to  maintain  the  required 
common  equity  tier  1  capital  conservation  buffer  will  result  in  potential  restrictions  on  a  bank's  ability  to  pay  dividends, 
repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.   

Prompt corrective action regulations applicable to  insured depository  institutions provide five  classifications:  well 
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,  significantly  undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although 
these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to 
accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital 
restoration plans are required. At year-end 2018 and 2017, the Bank met the capital requirements to be deemed well capitalized 
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System (the “FRB”) require a state-chartered bank that is a member of a Federal Reserve Bank to maintain certain amounts 
and types of capital and generally also require bank holding companies to meet such requirements on a consolidated basis.  The 
FRB  generally  requires  bank  holding  companies  that  have  chosen  to  become  financial  holding  companies  to  be  “well 
capitalized,”  as  defined  by  FRB  regulations,  in  order  to  continue  engaging  in  activities  permissible  only  to  bank  holding 
companies that are registered as financial holding companies.  If, however, a bank holding company, whether or not also a 
financial  holding  company,  satisfies  the  requirements  of  the  Federal  Reserve’s  Small  Bank  Holding  Company  and  Small 
Savings and Loan Holding Company Policy (the “SBHCP”), the holding company  is not required to meet the consolidated 
capital requirements.  As amended effective in September 2018, the SBHCP requires that the holding company have assets of 
less than $3 billion, that it meet certain qualitative requirements, and that all of the holding company’s bank subsidiaries meet 
all bank capital requirements.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company was deemed to meet the SBHCP requirements and so 
was not required to meet consolidated capital requirements at the holding company level.   

The following table summarizes the capital ratios (excluding the capital conservation buffer) of the Company and the 
Bank. The minimums for the Company are those that would have been required if the Company was not a small bank holding 
company under the SBHCP.

For the Company, these amounts would be required  for the Company  to engage in  activities permissible only  for a bank holding company that  meets the  financial 
holding company requirements if the Company were not subject to the SBHCP.  For the Bank, these are the amounts required for the Bank to be deemed well capitalized 
under the prompt corrective action regulations. 

Dividends paid by the subsidiaries are the primary source of funds available to Ohio Valley for payment of dividends 
to shareholders and for other working capital needs. The payment of dividends by the subsidiaries to Ohio Valley is subject to 
restrictions by regulatory authorities and state law. These restrictions generally limit dividends to the current and prior two 
years retained earnings of the Bank and Loan Central, Inc., and 90% of the prior year’s net income of OVBC Captive, Inc. At 
January  1,  2019  approximately  $12,480  of  the  subsidiaries’  retained  earnings  were  available  for  dividends  under  these 
guidelines.  In  addition  to  these  restrictions,  dividend  payments  cannot  reduce  regulatory  capital  levels  below  minimum 
regulatory  guidelines.  The  amount  of  dividends  payable  by  the  Bank  is  also  restricted  if  the  Bank  does  not  hold  a  capital 
conservation buffer. The ability of Ohio Valley to borrow funds from the Bank is limited as to amount and terms by banking 
regulations. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System also has a policy requiring Ohio Valley to provide notice 
to the FRB in advance of the payment of a dividend to Ohio Valley’s shareholders under certain circumstances, and the FRB 
may disapprove of such dividend payment if the FRB determines the payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 Note R - Segment Information 

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking 
and consumer finance.  They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, 
who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business which are then aggregated if operating 
performance, products/services, and customers are similar.  Loans, investments, and deposits provide the majority of the net 
revenues  from  the  banking  operation,  while  loans  provide  the  majority  of  the  net  revenues  for  the  consumer  finance 
segment.  All Company segments are domestic. 

Total revenues from the banking segment, which accounted for the majority of the Company’s total revenues, totaled 
92.9%, 92.7%, and 91.6% of total consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

The accounting policies used for the  Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note A - 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  Income taxes are allocated based on income before tax expense.  All goodwill 
is in the Banking segment.

(1) During the second and fourth quarters of 2018, the Company experienced negative provision expense in large part to the 
improvement  in  certain  economic  risk  factors  during  those  periods.    This  included  lower  classified  loans,  as  well  as  the 
improvements in historical loan loss rates, loan delinquency, and regional unemployment conditions.  

(2) During the third quarter of 2017, the Company experienced higher provision expense that was primarily related to general 
increases in specific allocations and increases in charge-offs within the commercial and residential real estate portfolios.   

(3) The Company’s noninterest income was significantly impacted by seasonal tax refund processing fees.  The Bank serves 
as a facilitator for the clearing of tax refunds for a single tax refund product provider.  The Bank processes electronic refund 
checks/deposits associated with taxpayer refunds, and  will, in turn, receive a fee paid by the third-party tax refund product 
provider for each transaction processed.  Due to the seasonal nature of tax refund transactions, the  majority of income was 
recorded during the first quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED  
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. 
Gallipolis, Ohio 

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 
2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also 
have  audited  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December 31,  2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 
31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, the Company 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established 
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO. 

Basis for Opinions 
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, 
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report 
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and an 
opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the 
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company 
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and 
the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of  material  misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and 
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of 
internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of 
financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of 
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, 
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1992.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL 
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING 

Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. 

The management of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal 
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The 
Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable  assurance  regarding the  reliability  of 
financial reporting and the preparation of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes in accordance  with  generally accepted 
accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of 
the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the 
Company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  Company;  and  (iii) 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the 
Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the consolidated financial statements is evaluated for 
effectiveness by management. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or 
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls 
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate. 

Management assessed Ohio Valley Banc Corp.’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, 
in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in the 2013 “Internal Control Integrated 
Framework,”  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  Based  on  this 
assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, its system of internal control over financial reporting is 
effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control Integrated Framework.” 

Crowe LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report dated March 18, 2019 on the Company's 
consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. That report is contained in Ohio Valley's Annual 
Report to Shareholders under the heading "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The purpose of this discussion is to provide an analysis of the financial condition and results of 
operations of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (“Ohio Valley” or the “Company”) that is not otherwise apparent 
from  the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included  in  this  report.    The  accompanying 
consolidated financial information has been prepared by management in conformity with U.S. generally 
accepted  accounting  principles  (“US  GAAP”)  and  is  consistent  with  that  reported  in  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.    Reference  should  be  made  to  those  statements  and  the  selected  financial  data 
presented elsewhere in this report for an understanding of the following tables and related discussion. All 
dollars are reported in thousands, except share and per share data. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: 

SUMMARY 

Ohio Valley generated net income of $11,944  for 2018, an increase of $4,435, or 59.1%, from 
2017.  Earnings per share were $2.53 for 2018,  an increase of 58.1% from 2017.  The increase in net 
income and earnings per share for 2018 was impacted by higher net interest income and lower provision 
expense, which collectively contributed to a $3,518 increase in earnings over 2017.  Net interest income 
was  positively  affected  by  successful  growth  in  interest  earnings  for  both  loans  and  interest-bearing 
deposits with banks driven by increases in average balances.  The reduction in provision expense from the 
prior year of 2017 was the result of lower general allocations in the allowance for loan losses impacted by 
the  improvement  in  various  economic  risk  factors,  as  well  as  a  decline  in  historical  loan  losses.    The 
positive contributions from net interest income and provision expense were further enhanced by a decrease 
54 

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

in tax expense of $2,231, or 49.7%, from 2017. This was a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), 
which was enacted on December 22, 2017, that made broad and complex changes to the Internal Revenue 
Code, including a reduction of the federal income tax rate from 34% to 21%. These positive contributions 
to  earnings  growth  were  partially  offset  by  lower  noninterest  income  and  higher  noninterest  expense 
during 2018, as compared to 2017.  Noninterest income was negatively impacted by lower bank owned 
life  insurance  (“BOLI”)  earnings  and  higher  losses  on  the  sale  of  other  real  estate  owned  (“OREO”) 
properties.  Increases in noninterest expense were primarily from salaries and employee benefits. 

During  2018,  the  Company’s  net  interest  income  finished  strong  at  $43,726,  representing  an 
increase of $1,993, or 4.8%, from 2017.  Average earning assets increased during 2018 by $50,982, or 
5.4%, as compared to 2017, coming primarily from loans and interest-bearing balances with banks.  The 
Company’s average interest-bearing Federal Reserve clearing account grew $30,488, or 48.3%, during 
2018, as a result of growth in average deposits exceeding the growth in loans, as well as growth from 
seasonal tax refund processing activity.  Furthermore, the Federal Reserve's action to increase short-term 
interest rates by 100 basis points from December 2017 to December 2018 contributed to interest revenue 
growth.  The Company’s average loans during  2018 grew $20,791, or 2.8%, led by  growth within the 
commercial loan segment.  Loan growth came mostly from the Company’s West Virginia and Athens, 
Ohio  locations.    While  earning  assets  were  up,  the  Company’s  net  interest  margin  declined  in  2018, 
finishing at 4.43% in 2018, as compared to 4.49% in 2017.  Contributing to the decrease in net interest 
margin was higher balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, which diluted the net interest margin due 
to the yield on those balances being less than other earning assets, such as loans and securities.  

The Company’s provision expense was reduced to $1,039 in 2018, as compared to $2,564 in 2017.  
During 2018, the level of classified loans, or those loans demonstrating financial weakness, decreased 
from the prior  year due to the improvement  in financial performance by  certain loan relationships.   In 
addition,  the  Company’s  historical  loss  rates  on  loans,  overall  loan  delinquency,  and  regional 
unemployment conditions improved from the prior year.  As a result of these lower risk factors, the general 
allocations of the allowance for loan losses decreased by 10.5%. 

The  Company’s  noninterest  income  decreased  $497,  or  5.3%,  from  2017.  The  year-to-date 
decrease in noninterest income was impacted by BOLI and annuity asset earnings, which decreased over 
41% during 2018, largely as a result of $514 in net bank owned life insurance proceeds that were collected 
during the prior year of 2017 in conjunction with the Company's investment in various benefit plans for 
its directors and key employees. Decreases in noninterest income were also impacted by a $370 increase 
in losses on the sale of OREO, which was primarily impacted by the lower appraised value on one land 
development property during the fourth quarter of 2018.  Further contributing to lower noninterest income 
was  lower  tax  processing  fees  through  the  Bank’s  electronic  refund  check/deposit  (“ERC/ERD”) 
transactions, which decreased 6.7%.  ERC/ERD transactions involve the payment of a tax refund to the 
taxpayer after the  Bank  has received the refund  from  the federal/state  government.  Partially  offsetting 
these decreasing factors was an increase in interchange income, which was up 8.5% from 2017, driven by 
the rising volume of debit and credit card transactions during 2018.  

The  Company’s  noninterest  expenses  during  2018  increased  $817,  or  2.2%,  over  2017.  The 
increase was impacted by salary and employee benefit expense, which grew $1,382, or 6.6%, during 2018, 
as compared to 2017.   The increase  was  largely  the result  of annual  merit  increases  and  higher health 
insurance  costs.  Noninterest  expense  growth  was  also  affected  by  increases  to  professional  fees,  data 
processing costs, and software expense.  Noninterest expense increases were partially offset by lower costs 
associated  with  foreclosed  assets,  marketing,  and  “other”  noninterest  expenses  that  included  costs  to 
maintain OREO properties and third-party consulting fees.

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

The Company’s provision for income taxes totaled $2,255 in 2018, compared to $4,486 in 2017, 
which further contributed to growth in net income.  The TCJA reduced the Company’s statutory federal 
income tax rate from 34% to 21%, resulting in lower tax expense during 2018.  Furthermore, in December 
2017, the reduction of the federal tax rate required the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to be 
revalued using the enacted 21% federal tax rate.  The revaluation resulted in a $1,783 one-time adjustment 
that increased tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017.   

For 2017, Ohio Valley generated net income of $7,509, an increase of $589, or 8.5% from 2016.  
Earnings per share were $1.60 for 2017, an increase of 0.6% from 2016.  The increase in net income and 
earnings per share for 2017 was largely impacted by higher net interest and noninterest income, which 
were collectively up $6,603, or 14.8%, over 2016.  The positive contributions from gross revenue were 
partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $3,710, or 11.3%, over 2016.  The Company’s 
comparative earnings during 2017 and 2016 were greatly impacted by the acquisition of Milton Bancorp, 
Inc. (“Milton Bancorp”) on August 5, 2016.  Immediately following the merger, Milton Bancorp's wholly-
owned subsidiary, The Milton Banking Company (“Milton Bank”), was merged with and into the Bank.  
The acquisition resulted in the addition of $132,001 in assets and 5 branch locations in Jackson, Madison 
and Pickaway counties in Ohio.  Having Milton Bank’s operations for a full twelve months in 2017 versus 
just  five  months  in  2016  contributed  to  increases  within  most  of  the  Company’s  income  and  expense 
categories. 

In 2017, the Company’s net interest income finished strong at $41,733, representing an increase 
of $5,407, or 14.9%, from 2016.  Average earning assets increased during 2017 by $105,324, or 12.5%, 
as  compared  to  2016,  coming  primarily  from  loans  and  taxable  investment  securities.    The  growth  in 
average earning assets was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Milton Bank during the third quarter 
of 2016.  Milton Bank branches were responsible for over 56% of the average loan growth experienced 
during 2017, benefiting largely from the full-year effect.  During 2017, the Company also experienced 
organic loan growth within its existing markets, impacted mostly from its West Virginia and Athens, Ohio 
locations.    Complementing average earning asset growth was an increase in the Company’s net interest 
margin, which finished at 4.49% in 2017, as compared to 4.40% in 2016.  Contributing to the increase in 
net interest margin was a general increase in interest rates and higher loan balances relative to total earning 
assets.  

The Company’s noninterest income also finished strong during 2017, increasing $1,196, or 14.5%, 
from 2016. The increase in noninterest income was impacted by a larger customer deposit base associated 
with the Milton Bank acquisition. As a result, the volume of debit and credit card transactions grew during 
2017,  which  helped  to  generate  a 30.1%  increase  in  interchange  income.  A  larger  customer  base  also 
contributed to an 8.1% increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Noninterest income growth was 
further impacted by BOLI and annuity assets, which grew over 69% during 2017.  This was largely the 
result of $514 in net bank owned life insurance proceeds that were collected during 2017 in conjunction 
with the Company's investment in various benefit plans for its directors and key employees. Increases in 
noninterest income were also impacted by lower losses on the sale of OREO, related to the lower appraised 
value on one land development property during the fourth quarter of 2016.  Partially offsetting increases 
in  noninterest  income  were  lower tax  processing  fees  through  the  Company’s  ERC/ERD  transactions, 
which decreased 17.4%.  In addition to a reduced number of tax refunds being processed in 2017, the per 
item fees received by the Company were lower under the new contract entered into with the third-party 
tax refund product provider in October 2014 that impacted 2017’s tax season.   

The Company’s noninterest expenses during  2017  increased  $3,710,  or 11.3%,  over 2016. The 
increase was impacted by the acquisition of Milton Bank, which contributed to general increases in most 
noninterest expense categories related to having a larger organization after the merger.  The Company saw 
56 

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

its salary and employee benefit expense grow by $1,935, or 10.3%, during 2017, as compared to 2016.  
The increase was largely the result of adding Milton Bank employees, as well as annual merit increases 
and  higher  health  insurance  costs.  Noninterest  expense  growth  was  also  affected  by  increases  to 
professional fees, data processing costs, and various “other” noninterest expenses that included costs to 
maintain OREO properties, customer incentive costs and consulting fees.  Noninterest expense increases 
were partially offset by the effects of lower merger costs during 2017, as compared to 2016.  As part of 
the  Milton  Bank  acquisition  in  2016,  the  Company  incurred  $930  in  merger-related  expenses  that 
consisted largely of services to combine the operating systems of both companies, as well as investment 
banking, accounting, and legal services.  As a result, merger expenses were down $891, or 95.8%, in 2017. 
The Company’s provision for income taxes totaled $4,486 in 2017, compared to $1,920 in 2016, 
which further reduced operating income.  The increase was related to the TCJA, which reduced the federal 
income tax rate from 34% to 21%, as well as other business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. 
The  reduction  of  the  federal  tax  rate  required  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  to  be 
revalued using the 21% federal tax rate enacted.  The revaluation resulted in a $1,783 adjustment to tax 
expense that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.   

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 incurred 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 and short- and 
long-term borrowings.  Net interest income is affected by changes in both the average volume and mix of 
assets and liabilities and the level of interest rates for financial instruments.  Changes in net interest income 
are  measured  by  net  interest  margin  and  net  interest  spread.    Net  interest  margin  is  expressed  as  the 
percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Net interest spread is the difference 
between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing 
liabilities.  Both of these are reported on a fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) basis.  Net interest margin exceeds 
the net interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, principally noninterest-bearing 
demand deposits and stockholders' equity, also support interest-earning assets. Following is a discussion 
of  changes  in  interest-earning  assets,  interest-bearing  liabilities  and  the  associated  impact  on  interest 
income and interest expense for the three  years ended  December 31, 2018.  Tables  I and  II have been 
prepared to summarize the significant changes outlined in this analysis. 

Comparing 2018 to 2017, net interest income of $44,172 on an FTE basis increased $1,661, or 
3.9%. This change reflects the impact of a 5.4% increase in average earning assets and a 7 basis point 
increase in earning asset yield, partially offset by a 20 basis point cost increase in average interest-bearing 
liabilities.    Average  earning  asset  growth  included  a  $30,610,  or  46.3%,  increase  in  average  interest-
bearing balances with banks and a $20,791, or 2.8%, increase in average loans. Earning asset yields were 
largely impacted by the rise in short-term rates during 2018, which affected loans and deposits with banks. 
Market  rate  increases  during  2018  also  had  a  corresponding  impact  to  higher  average  deposit  costs, 
primarily within time deposits.  The rate increases in time deposits during 2018 contributed to a higher 
consumer demand for those products, particularly certificates of deposit (“CDs”), which generated most 
of the average interest-bearing liability increase.  The net interest margin decrease reflected  a 20 basis 
point negative impact in funding costs partially offset by a 7 basis point positive impact from the mix and 
yield on earning assets and a 7 basis point increase in the benefit from noninterest-bearing funding (i.e., 
demand deposits and shareholders' equity).

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

The  increase  in  average  volume  and  yield  of  earning  assets  partially  offset  by  the  increase  in 
average  cost  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  was  key  to  the  success  of  2018’s  net  interest  income 
improvement.  The volume increase in average earning assets was responsible for producing $1,527 in 
additional  FTE  interest  income during  2018  over  2017,  while  the  average  yield  increase  generated  an 
additional $1,630 in FTE interest income during the same periods.  These effects were partially offset by 
$1,243 in additional interest expense from the average cost increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. 
Average earning assets for 2018 increased $50,982, or 5.4%, from the prior year, led by interest-bearing 
balances with banks, which increased $30,610, or 46.3%.  More so, the average yield on interest-bearing 
balances with banks contributed most to the $1,039 increase in interest income from these earning asset 
deposits during 2018.  Balances within interest-bearing deposits with banks are driven primarily by the 
Company’s interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account.  The Company continues to utilize 
its Federal Reserve clearing account to manage seasonal tax refund deposits and fund earning asset growth.  
Average Federal Reserve Bank clearing account balances grew 48.3% during 2018, which contributed to 
higher interest  income.   Furthermore, this interest-bearing  account  carried  an  interest  rate  of 1.50% at 
December 2017. During 2018, the Federal Reserve increased short-term rates by 25 basis points in each 
of  March,  June,  September  and  December  to  reach  2.50%  at  December  31,  2018.    The  timing  of  the 
December  2017  and  March  2018  rate  adjustments  benefited  the  Company,  as  it  entered  into  the  first 
quarter of 2018 experiencing significant levels of excess funds impacted by the large volume of ERC/ERD 
transactions that were maintained within the Federal Reserve clearing account.  These ERC/ERD deposits 
occur primarily during the first half of the year and are the result of the Bank’s relationship with a third-
party tax refund product provider.  The Bank acts as the facilitator for these ERC/ERD transactions and 
earns a fee for each cleared item.  For the short time the Bank holds such refunds, constituting noninterest-
bearing deposits, the Bank increases its deposits with the Federal Reserve.  This causes interest-bearing 
balances with banks to represent a large percentage of earning assets during the time the Bank holds the 
refunds, although such balances decrease at year-end.  The Bank was able to redeploy some of these excess 
funds from its Federal Reserve Bank clearing account to help manage the loan growth that was evident in 
2018.    However,  the  average  growth  in  total  deposits  exceeded  the  average  growth  in  loans,  which 
produced  a  higher  composition  of  average  interest-bearing  balances  with  banks,  finishing  at  9.7%  of 
average earning assets in 2018, as compared to 7.0% in 2017. 

The Bank’s third-party tax refund product provider ceased utilizing the services of the Bank at the 
end  of  2018.   The  termination  of  this  relationship,  unless  and  until  replaced,  will  adversely  affect  the 
Company’s liquidity and net income. The Bank will be unable to replace the relationship for the 2019 tax 
season but will consider alternatives for future  years.  Further, the Bank has filed a lawsuit against the 
third-party tax refund provider alleging breach of contract.  There can be no assurance of the timing and 
extent of damages recovered through such litigation, and the costs of the litigation will have an adverse 
effect on Ohio Valley’s liquidity and net income. In 2018, when all of the tax refund processing had been 
completed and temporary deposits had been disbursed by the Bank, the Company earned approximately 
$949 in interest from tax refunds held in the Bank’s Federal Reserve Bank clearing account. 

Average earning asset growth also came from loans, which increased $20,791, or 2.8%, during 
2018.  This growth in loans came mostly from the commercial and consumer loan segments, driven by 
the West Virginia and Athens, Ohio market locations.  The Company’s West Virginia offices, located in 
Mason and Cabell counties, generated over $10,600 in average loans during 2018, particularly within the 
commercial loan portfolio segment.  Further impacting average loan growth was the Company’s Athens, 
Ohio loan production office, which opened in late 2015.  This office has served to enhance the Company’s 
market presence in Athens County, which generated over $11,800 in average loans during  2018.  The 
average volume growth in loans contributed to $1,193 in additional FTE interest income during 2018 over 
58 

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

2017.  Furthermore, the rise in short-term rates during 2018 also contributed to the repricings of a portion 
of the Company’s loan portfolio.  This led to a higher average loan yield of 5.78% at year-end 2018, as 
compared  to  5.68%  at  year-end  2017,  and  also  contributed  to  $769  in  additional  FTE  interest  income 
during 2018 over 2017.  While average loans were up in 2018, the Company experienced a higher level 
of average deposit liabilities that contributed to larger excess fund balances that were maintained within 
its Federal Reserve Bank clearing account.  As a result, the Company finished with a smaller composition 
of average loans to average earning assets at year-end 2018 of 77.6%, as compared to 79.6% for 2017. 

  Average securities of $126,621 at year-end 2018 represented a 0.3% decrease from the $127,040 
in average securities at  year-end 2017.  Average tax exempt securities were down 7.5% from the prior 
year,  largely  related  to  maturities  of  state  and  municipal  investments,  while  average  taxable  securities 
increased 0.5%, particularly from purchases within the U.S. Government sponsored entity and Agency 
mortgage-backed investment segments.  The Company has focused on growing earning assets primarily 
through loans, which has contributed to a lower asset composition of securities.  Management continues 
to focus on generating loan growth as loans provide the greatest return to the Company.  Management 
maintains  securities  at  a  dollar  level  adequate  enough  to  provide  ample  liquidity  and  cover  pledging 
requirements.    

The Company believes that it may experience a reduction in interest income as a result of a new 
state law, signed into law on July 30, 2018, which places numerous restrictions on short-term and small 
loans extended by certain non-bank lenders in Ohio.  The new law, which will not apply to loans made 
before April 27, 2019, will apply to much of the lending of Loan Central.  The Company is still attempting 
to determine the effect of the law on Loan Central and the Company, including the loans that would no 
longer be offered, increased expenses of loans offered, and whether the Company might make such loans 
pursuant to an exemption. The Company estimates the loss of pre-tax operating income could be $1,053, 
which is based on the actual income earned during 2018 by Loan Central  on such loans that would be 
affected by the new state law.                    

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $23,842, or 3.8%, from 2017 to 2018.  The growth 
in interest-bearing deposits during 2018 was mostly from average time deposits, which grew $20,679, or 
10.9%, during 2018, impacted by a consumer demand increase for CD’s and a special CD offering during 
the second half of 2017 that impacted additional average retail funds in 2018. The growth in time deposits 
resulted  in  the  composition  of  average  time  deposits  to  interest-bearing  liabilities  trending  upward  to 
31.9% and 29.8% of total interest-bearing liabilities at year-end 2018 and 2017, respectively. The growth 
in earning assets during 2017 and 2018 caused the Company to use more of its time deposits as funding 
sources, which contributed to higher composition levels.  The higher average cost associated with time 
deposits,  combined  with  higher  portfolio  balances  in  2018,  contributed  to  the  majority  of  the  interest 
expense increase of 2018.  

The Company’s core deposit segment of interest-bearing liabilities consists of NOW, savings and 
money market accounts.  During 2018, average balances on these deposits increased $1,859, or 0.5%, but 
together represented 60.7% of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2018, as compared to 62.7% in 2017.  
This decreasing shift in composition was impacted by a higher composition of time deposits during 2018, 
which were used to help fund earning asset growth. This overall composition shift to lower NOW, savings 
and  money  market  balances  combined  with  a  higher  composition  of  time  deposits  from  2017 to 2018 
contributed to a 20 basis point increase in the average cost of funds from 0.63% at year-end 2017 to 0.83% 
at year-end 2018.    

In addition, the Company’s other borrowings and subordinated debentures collectively increased 
$1,304, or 2.7%, during 2018.  The increase was related to management's decision to fund specific fixed-
rate loans with like-term FHLB advances during the first quarter of 2018.  Borrowings and subordinated 
59 

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

debentures continue to represent the smallest composition of average interest-bearing liabilities, finishing 
at 7.5% at the end of both 2018 and 2017.   

Comparing 2017 to 2016, net interest income of $42,511 on an FTE basis increased $5,526, or 
14.9%.  This  change  reflected  the  impact  of  12.5%  average  earning  asset  growth  and  a  9  basis  point 
increase in the net interest margin to 4.49%, partially offset by 12.0% average interest-bearing liability 
growth. Average earning asset growth included a  $108,514, or 16.8%, increase in average loans and a 
$5,925, or 5.5%, increase in average taxable securities. Average interest-bearing liability growth included 
a $59,543, or 11.3%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits and an $8,110, or 26.1%, increase in 
average other borrowed funds. The net interest margin expansion reflected a 15 basis point positive impact 
from the mix and  yield  on  earning assets  and  a  4  basis  point increase  in the  benefit  from  noninterest-
bearing funding, partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in funding costs. 

The increase in average volume of earning assets partially offset by the increase in interest-bearing 
liabilities was key to the success of 2017’s net interest income improvement.  The volume increase in 
average earning assets was responsible for producing $6,205 in  additional FTE interest income during 
2017 over 2016, partially offset by $456 in additional interest expense from the volume increase in average 
interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning assets for 2017 increased $105,324, or 12.5%, from the prior 
year,  reflecting  the  full-year  impact  of  the  Milton  Bank  acquisition.  This  growth  in  earning  assets 
contributed  to  average  balance  growth  in  the  commercial,  residential  real  estate,  and  consumer  loan 
portfolios, which were collectively up $108,514, or 16.8%, during 2017. The Milton Bank branches were 
responsible  for  over  $60,900  in  average  loan  growth  during  2017.    During  2017,  the  Company  also 
experienced organic loan growth within its existing markets, impacted mostly from its West Virginia and 
Athens, Ohio locations.  The Company’s West Virginia offices generated over $21,500 in average loans 
during 2017, particularly within the commercial loan portfolio segment.  Further impacting average loan 
growth was the Company’s Athens, Ohio loan production office, which generated over $12,900 in average 
loans during 2017.  The acquisition of Milton Bank loans combined with the success in West Virginia and 
Athens County contributed to a larger composition of average loans to average earning assets at year-end 
2017 of 79.6%, as compared to 76.7% for 2016.   

Further impacting  growth in average earning  assets during  2017  was  a higher  level  of average 
securities.  While average tax exempt securities were down 5.6% from the prior  year,  average taxable 
securities increased $5,925, or 5.5%, particularly from purchases within the U.S. Government sponsored 
entity and Agency mortgage-backed investment segments. While the Company’s average net investment 
securities increased 4.2% during 2017, their percentage of earning assets declined, averaging 13.4% for 
2017, compared to 14.5% for 2016.  The Company focused on growing earning assets primarily through 
loans, which contributed to this lower asset composition of securities.   

The Company’s earnings from interest-bearing deposits with banks also contributed to the growth 
in interest income for 2017.  Average interest-bearing deposits with banks were down $8,327, or 11.2%, 
from 2016, which had a negative impact on earnings based on volume.  These effects from lower volume 
were completely offset by positive effects from the average yield, which contributed to most of the $233, 
or  62.3%,  increase  in  interest  income  from  deposits  with  banks  during  2017.  The  Company’s  Federal 
Reserve Clearing account carried an interest rate of 0.50% during most of 2016. In December 2016, the 
Federal Reserve increased short-term rates by 25 basis points, and then again in each of March, June and 
December  2017  by  another  25  basis  points.  The  timing  of  the  December  2016  and  March  2017  rate 
adjustments benefited the Company, as it entered into the first quarter of 2017 experiencing significant 
levels of excess funds  impacted by the large  volume of ERC/ERD transactions  that were maintained in

Fully taxable equivalent yields are reported for tax exempt securities and loans and calculated assuming a 21% tax rate in 2018 and

December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 totaled $95, $206, and $226, respectively. Tax-equivalent adjustments for loans during the years ended 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 totaled $351, $572, and $433, respectively. Average balances are computed on an average daily basis. 
The average balance for available for sale securities includes the market value adjustment. However, the calculated yield is based on the 
securities’ amortized cost. Average loan balances include nonaccruing loans. Loan income includes cash received on nonaccruing loans.

     The change in interest due to volume and rate is determined as follows: Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied  
by the previous year's rate; Yield/Rate Variance - change in rate multiplied by the previous year's volume; Total Variance –  
change in volume multiplied by the change in rate. The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to   
volume and rate changes in proportion  to the relationship  of the absolute dollar   amounts of the change  in  each.  The tax  
exempt securities and loan income is presented  on an FTE basis. FTE yield  assumes a 21% tax rate in 2018 and a 34% tax 
rate in 2017 and 2016, net of related nondeductible interest expense. 

the Federal Reserve clearing account. However, this short-term average balance growth in deposits was 
completely  offset  by  the  need  to  fund  loan  growth  during  2017.    The  Company  experienced  a  16.8% 
increase in average loans during 2017, part of which included organic loan originations from the West 
Virginia and Athens, Ohio markets.  The Company was able to redeploy funds from its Federal Reserve 
Bank clearing account to help manage the earning asset growth that was evident in 2017, which fits within 
management’s  strategy  of  investing  assets  into  higher  yielding  products  while  minimizing  interest 
expense.   With the Company using more of its short-term Federal Reserve funds to satisfy loan demand, 
this  led  to  a  lower  composition  of  average  interest-bearing  balances  with  banks,  finishing  at  7.0%  of 
average earning assets in 2017, as compared to 8.9% in 2016.  

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $67,653, or 12.0%, from 2016 to 2017.  The growth 
in interest-bearing deposits during 2017 was mostly impacted by the Milton Bank merger, which resulted 
in the acquisition of $119,215 in deposits from 2016.  Average time deposits grew $21,451, or 12.8%, 
during 2017, impacted mostly by the Milton Bank time deposits from 2016 and a special CD offering 
during the second half of 2017 that generated additional retail funds. The composition of average time 
deposits  to interest-bearing  liabilities  trended  upward,  representing  29.8%  and  29.6%  of  total interest-
bearing  liabilities  at  year-end  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  The  growth  in  earning  assets  during  2017

caused the Company  to  use  more of  its  time  deposits  as  funding sources,  which  contributed  to higher 
composition levels.  The higher average cost associated with time deposits, combined with higher portfolio 
balances in 2017, contributed to over half of the interest expense increase of 2017.  

The Company’s core deposit segment of interest-bearing liabilities consist of NOW, savings and 
money market accounts.  During 2017, average balances on these deposits increased $38,092, or 10.6%, 
and together represented 62.7% of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2017, as compared to 63.4% in 
2016.  This decreasing shift in composition was impacted by a higher composition of time deposits and 
borrowed funds during 2017. This overall composition shift to lower NOW, savings and money market 
balances combined with a higher composition of time deposits from 2016 to 2017 contributed to a 10 basis 
point increase in the average cost of funds from 0.53% at year-end 2016 to 0.63% at year-end 2017.    

In addition, the Company’s other borrowings and subordinated debentures collectively increased 
$8,110, or 20.5%, during 2017.  The increase was primarily from the use of FHLB borrowings to fund the 
purchases of specific earning assets that were originated during both 2017 and 2016.  Borrowings and 
subordinated  debentures  represented  the  smallest  composition  of  average  interest-bearing  liabilities, 
finishing at 7.5% and 7.0% at year-end 2017 and 2016, respectively. This shift to more higher-costing 
liabilities contributed to more interest expense in 2017.  

During  2018,  total  interest  income  on  average  earning  assets  increased  $3,489,  or  7.6%,  as 
compared to 2017.  During 2017, total interest  income  on average earning  assets  increased  $6,360, or 
16.2%,  as  compared  to  2016.    The  changes  in  interest  income  during  both  comparison  periods  were 
impacted  most  by  the  commercial  loan  portfolio.  Management  has  been  pleased  with  the  growing 
commercial loan demand within its West  Virginia  locations and  loan production  office.    Furthermore, 
36% of the loans acquired in the Milton Bank merger were comprised of commercial loans.  These positive 
contributions helped to generate increases of 4.7% and 22.1% in average commercial loan balances during 
2018 and 2017, respectively.  As a result, commercial interest and fee revenue grew by $1,729, or 9.8%, 
and $3,634, or 25.9%, during 2018 and 2017, respectively.  

The Company’s interest and fees from its residential real estate loan portfolio decreased by $33, 
or 0.3%, during 2018, but increased $891, or 7.2%, during 2017. A contributing factor to the decline in 
real estate revenue during 2018 was a composition shift from higher-yielding, long-term, fixed-rate loan 
balances to lower-yielding, adjustable-rate mortgage originations. This shift to more lower-yielding loans 
has placed additional pressure on asset yields.  Furthermore, the Company continues to sell a portion of 
its long-term, fixed-rate real estate loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, while retaining 
the servicing rights for those mortgages.  While this strategy has generated loan sale and servicing fee 
revenue within noninterest income, it has also contributed to lower interest and fee revenues during 2018.  
Conversely, the elevated residential real estate revenue during 2017 was primarily from the acquired loan 
balances  of  Milton  Bank  in  2016,  which  consisted  of  42%  in  residential  real  estate  loan  balances.  
However, when excluding the real estate revenue generated by the Milton Bank branches during 2017, the 
Company’s real estate revenue represented a decrease of $113, or 0.99%, during 2017. This was in large 
part  due  to  the  composition  shift  from  long-term,  fixed-rate  loans  to  short-term,  adjustable-rate  loans 
previously discussed.   

In  2018,  consumer  loan  interest  and  fees  increased  $487,  or  4.3%,  as  compared  to  2017,  and 
increased $1,391, or 14.0%, during 2017, as compared to 2016, impacted by the average balance growth 
associated  with  increased  auto  loan  financings  and  home  equity  loan  balances.  Further  impacting 
consumer  loan  revenue  during  2017  was  the  acquisition  of  Milton  Bank’s  loans,  22%  of  which  were 
consumer loan balances at the time of acquisition.  

The Company’s interest income from taxable investment securities increased $309, or 12.3%, in 
2018  and  $245,  or  10.8%,  in  2017.    Average  balances  grew  during  2018  and  2017  from  increased

purchases of U.S. Government sponsored entity securities and Agency mortgage-backed securities during 
both periods.   Interest income during 2018 was positively affected by a 25 basis point increase in yield 
from 2017, primarily due to investment purchases, and reinvestment of maturities at market rates higher 
than the average portfolio yield, compared to an 11 basis point increase in yield on taxable securities from 
2016 to 2017.  

Total interest expense incurred on the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities increased $1,496, or 
37.6%,  during  2018,  and  increased  $953,  or  31.5%,  during  2017,  primarily  from  interest  expense  on 
deposits, particularly time deposits.  The Company’s strategy continues to focus on funding earning asset 
growth with lower cost, core deposit funding sources to further reduce, or limit growth in, interest expense. 
However,  with  loan  demand  up  and  average  loan  balances  growing,  the  Company  utilized  more  CD 
balances as a funding source. In addition, the market rates on the Company’s CD’s repriced at higher rates 
impacted  by  the  ongoing  short-term  rate  increases,  contributing  to  consumer  demand  for  more  CD’s, 
which led to a composition shift into more time deposits during 2018.  The Company was also successful 
in marketing a short-term CD special during the fourth quarter of 2017 that helped generate additional 
retail funds.   Furthermore, the Company  utilized  more  brokered  CD deposits  as  an  additional funding 
source during the second half of 2017 that impacted 2018 interest costs.  Time deposits were also impacted 
by the acquired Milton Bank time deposits. Interest-bearing deposits for 2018 and 2017 continued to be 
comprised more of average core deposit balances in NOW, savings and money market balances, which 
are  lower  in  cost.    But  due  to  the  funding  needs  for  asset  growth  in  2017  and  2018,  the  Company’s 
composition  of  higher-cost  average  time  deposits  increased  from  2017  to  2018,  while  the  average 
composition of NOW, savings and money market balances decreased during the same period.  This change 
in deposit composition contributed to an increase in the Company’s weighted average costs from 0.63% 
at year-end 2017 to 0.83% at year-end 2018. 

The Company’s interest expenses were also impacted by other borrowed money and subordinated 
debentures,  which  were up  collectively  by  $184,  or  16.3%,  during  the  year  ended  2018,  and  $220,  or 
30.4%,  during  the  year  ended  2017.    The  increase  was  primarily  from  the  average  growth  in  FHLB 
borrowings, which were used to fund the purchases of specific earning assets that were originated during 
both 2018 and 2017.  

During  2018  and  2017,  the  Company  benefited  from  a  large  composition  of  higher-yielding, 
average  loan  balances  while  maintaining  most  of  its  deposit  mix  in  lower-costing  core  deposits.  This 
contributed  to  net  interest  margin  improvement  from  4.40%  in  2016  to  4.49%  in  2017.  However,  the 
Company utilized more of its higher-costing time deposits in 2018 to fund earning asset growth causing 
the average cost of funds to grow by 20 basis points during that time.  Also during 2018, the Company’s 
average earning assets were significantly impacted by growth of over 46% in interest-bearing balances 
maintained at the Federal Reserve yielding just 2.5% at year-end 2018.  As a result, the net interest margin 
for 2018 compressed from 4.49% in 2017 to 4.43% in 2018.  The Company will continue to face pressure 
on its net interest income and margin improvement if loan balances do not continue to expand and become 
a larger component of overall earning assets.  The Company’s CDs are continuing to reprice to market 
rates that are trending up.  The Company will continue to focus on growing the average loan portfolio and 
re-deploying the excess liquidity retained within the Federal Reserve account into higher yielding assets 
as opportunities arise. 

With the Bank’s third-party tax refund product provider terminating its tax processing relationship 
at the end of 2018, the Company expects the average excess funds in the Federal Reserve clearing account 
to  decrease  in  2019.    As  a  result,  the  Company  expects  both  its  interest  and  noninterest  income  to  be 
negatively affected in 2019, as compared to prior periods.

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

PROVISION EXPENSE 

Credit risk is inherent in the business of originating loans.  The Company sets aside an allowance 
for loan losses through charges to income, which are reflected in the consolidated statement of income as 
the provision for loan losses.  Provision for loan loss is recorded to achieve an allowance for loan losses 
that is adequate to absorb losses in the Company’s loan portfolio.  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.   

The Company’s provision expense during the years ended 2018, 2017 and 2016 totaled $1,039, 
$2,564 and $2,826, respectively.  These results yielded a $1,525 decrease in provision expense from 2017 
to 2018, and a $262 decrease in provision expense from 2016 to 2017.  Lower provision expense during 
2018 was mostly impacted by reduced general allocations of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s 
general allocation evaluates several factors that include: average historical loan loss trends, credit risk, 
regional  unemployment  conditions,  asset  quality,  and  changes  in  classified  and  criticized  assets.  The 
Company’s  historical  loan  loss  factors  continue  to  trend  down  while  its  classified  asset  risk  factor 
decreased in 2018, as well.  Furthermore, the Company’s nonperforming loans to total loans improved 
from 1.36% to at year-end 2017 to 1.25% at year-end 2018, while nonperforming assets to total assets 
improved from 1.17% to 0.99% during the same period.  As a result, general allocations totaled $6,630 at 
December 31, 2018, as compared to $7,405 at December 31, 2017, with the decrease coming primarily 
within the commercial real estate loan portfolio segment. Specific allocations of the allowance for loan 
losses remained comparable from 2017 to 2018. 

Lower provision expense during 2017 was impacted by a decrease in specific allocations partially 
offset by an increase in general allocations.  Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses identify 
loan impairment by measuring fair value of the underlying collateral and the present value of estimated 
future cash flows.  Specific allocations during 2017 decreased by $2,887 from December 31, 2016 as a 
result of the financial performance improvement of one commercial real estate loan relationship.  Prior to 
2017, specific reserves of $1,681 were necessary as a result of collateral impairment.  During the first 
quarter  of  2017,  a  re-evaluation  of  this  borrower’s  financial  performance  identified  significant 
improvement, which resulted in a credit quality  upgrade to the borrower relationship and no identified 
collateral impairment at December 31, 2017.  Further contributing to lower specific reserves at year-end 
2017 were the charge-offs of several collateral dependent specific allocations. Total charge-offs of $612 
on  one  commercial  real  estate  loan  relationship  and  $399  on  one  commercial  and  industrial  loan 
relationship were recorded as a result of asset impairment. However, these specific reserves had already 
been allocated for prior to 2017, which resulted in no corresponding provision expense impact in 2017. 

The  decreases  in  provision  expense  during  2017  from  lower  specific  allocations  were  partially 
offset by a $2,687 increase in general allocations, largely impacted by the addition of new risk factors. 
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company continued to experience lower historical loan loss factors, 
which prompted management to evaluate the exposure to losses incurred during an economic downturn. 
Based on historical losses incurred outside the Company's lookback period, management determined it 
would be necessary to include an economic risk factor to add general reserves for losses based upon the 
difference  in  the  Company's  current  historical  loss  factors  and  risks  in  the  portfolio.  Furthermore, 
management  evaluated  recent  changes  in  loan  underwriting  standards,  which  may  expose  the  loan 
portfolio to additional credit risk. As a result, an economic risk factor was added, which contributed to 
additional general reserves. 

During 2018, the Company’s net charge-offs totaled $1,810, as compared to $2,764 in net charge-
offs  recognized  during  2017.    The  decrease  was  largely  due  to  the  2017  charge-offs  of  $612  on  one 
commercial real estate loan relationship and $399 on one commercial and industrial loan relationship that 
65

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

both contained specific allocations.  These charge-offs from 2017 did not have a corresponding impact to 
provision expense since  the allocations  had  already been  provided  for prior to  2017.    Excluding these 
specific allocation charge-offs from the previous year, net charge-offs during 2018 would have been up 
just $57, or 3.3%, as compared to 2017. During 2017, the Company’s net charge-offs totaled $2,764, as 
compared to $1,775 in net charge-offs recognized during 2016.  The increase was due to the charge-offs 
of specific allocations previously mentioned. Excluding these specific allocation charge-offs, net charge-
offs during 2017 would have been down $22, or 1.2%, as compared to 2016.  

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at December 31, 2018 and 
reflected probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses was 0.87% of total loans 
at December 31, 2018, as compared to 0.98% at December 31, 2017 and 1.05% at December 31, 2016.  
Future provisions to the allowance for loan losses will continue to be based on management’s quarterly 
in-depth evaluation that is discussed in further detail under the caption “Critical  Accounting Policies - 
Allowance for Loan Losses” within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. 

NONINTEREST INCOME  

During  2018,  total  noninterest  income  decreased  $497,  or  5.3%,  as  compared  to  2017.    The 
decrease  in  noninterest  revenue  was  impacted  by  earnings  from  tax-free  BOLI  investments.  BOLI 
investments are maintained by the Company in association with various benefit plans, including deferred 
compensation  plans,  director  retirement  plans  and  supplemental  retirement  plans.  During  2017,  the 
Company recorded $2,107 in cash proceeds and $1,993 in anticipated cash proceeds related to three BOLI 
participants, which yielded net BOLI proceeds of $514 that were recorded to income. Those 2017 BOLI 
proceeds contributed most to the 41.5% decrease in BOLI and annuity asset income, which finished at 
$717 for 2018, as compared to $1,226 in 2017. 

Also contributing to the decrease in noninterest income were higher losses on OREO properties, 
which finished with a net loss of $559 at year-end 2018, as compared to a net loss of $189 at year-end 
2017.  OREO losses were elevated in 2018 mostly from the liquidation of one foreclosed land development 
property during the fourth quarter of 2018 that resulted in a loss on sale of $594.  

Noninterest income was also negatively impacted in 2018 by a reduction in seasonal tax refund 
processing revenue classified as ERC/ERD fees.  During the year ended 2018, the Company’s ERC/ERD 
fees  decreased  by  $113,  or  6.7%,  as  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2017,  largely  due  to  reduced 
transaction fees associated with each refund facilitated pursuant to the Company’s contract with a third-
party tax refund product provider.  Furthermore, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of 
ERC/ERD transactions that were facilitated.  As a result of ERC/ERD fee activity being mostly seasonal, 
the majority of income was recorded during the first half of 2018, accounting for 17.7% of total noninterest 
income for the year. As previously mentioned, the Bank’s third-party tax refund product provider ceased 
utilizing the services of the Bank at the end of 2018.  Going forward, the Company’s ERC/ERD fees and 
non-interest income will be negatively affected. 

Partially offsetting the negative effects to noninterest income was an increase in the Company’s 
interchange income, as the transaction volume associated with its debit and credit card products continues 
to  grow.    Card  transactions  came  mostly  from  restaurant,  gasoline  and  retail  store  purchases.    The 
Company  has  also  been  successful  in  promoting  the  use  of  both  debit  and  credit  cards  by  offering 
incentives that permit their users to redeem accumulated points for merchandise, as well as cash incentives 
paid.  As  a  result,  debit  and  credit  card  interchange  income  increased  $286,  or  8.5%,  during  2018,  as 
compared  to  2017.  While  incenting  debit  and  credit  card  customers  has  increased  customer  use  of 
electronic payments, which has contributed to higher interchange revenue, the strategy also fits well with 
the Company's emphasis on growing and enhancing its customer relationships. 

66 

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

Positive increases to noninterest income also came from the Company’s interest rate swap revenue. 
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to satisfy the desire of large commercial customers to have a 
fixed-rate  loan  while  permitting  the  Company  to  originate  a  variable-rate  loan,  which  helps  mitigate 
interest rate risk.  In association with establishing an interest rate swap agreement, the Company earns a 
swap fee at the time of origination.  The increase in transactions involving an interest rate swap during 
2018 led to swap fees totaling $114 during the year ended December 31, 2018.  As a result, interest rate 
swap revenue improved to $139 during 2018, as compared to $42 during 2017.    

The Company’s remaining noninterest income categories were up $112, or 3.4%, during the year 

ended 2018 as compared to 2017, in large part due to higher mortgage banking income. 

During 2017,  total  noninterest income increased  $1,196,  or  14.5%,  as  compared  to  2016.  The 
increase in noninterest revenue was impacted by the inclusion of Milton Bank's customer deposit base for 
a  full  year.  The  larger  deposit  base  contributed  to  year-to-date  improvements  in  debit  and  credit  card 
interchange income  and  service charges on  deposit accounts, which increased collectively  by $942, or 
20.6%, during 2017, as compared to 2016.  

Also  contributing  to  noninterest  income  growth  for  2017  was  earnings  from  tax-free  BOLI 
investments. During 2017, the Company recorded $2,107 in cash proceeds and $1,993 in anticipated cash 
proceeds related to three BOLI participants, which yielded net BOLI proceeds of $514 that were recorded 
to income. This amount contributed to the 69.1% year-to-date increase in BOLI and annuity asset income 
of $501 during 2017, as compared to 2016. 

Further  increasing  noninterest  income  for  2017  were  lower  losses  on  OREO  properties,  which 
finished with a net loss of $189 at year-end 2017, as compared to a net loss of $467 at year-end 2016.  
OREO  losses  were  elevated  in  2016  mostly  from  the  lower  appraised  value  of  one  land  development 
property during the fourth quarter of 2016.  A re-evaluation of this property resulted in a $393 impairment 
charge that was recorded as a write-down to the OREO property’s carrying value.   

Partially  offsetting  growth  in  noninterest  income  during  2017  was  a  reduction  in  seasonal  tax 
refund  processing  revenue  classified  as  ERC/ERD  fees.    During  the  year  ended  2017,  the  Company’s 
ERC/ERD fees decreased by $356, or 17.4%, as compared to the same period in 2016.  The decrease was 
largely due to reduced transaction fees associated with each refund facilitated, as well as a lower volume 
of ERC/ERD transactions that were facilitated.   

The Company’s remaining noninterest income categories were down $169, or 12.4%, during the 
year ended 2017 as compared to 2016.  The decrease was in large part due to higher loss reserves and 
claims  paid  associated  with  the  Company’s  limited  purpose  property  and  casualty  insurance  company 
subsidiary, (the “Captive”).  

NONINTEREST EXPENSE 

Management  continues  to  work  diligently  to minimize the growth  in  noninterest  expense.   For 
2018,  total  noninterest  expense  increased  $817,  or  2.2%.    The  increase  was  mostly  from  salaries  and 
employee benefits, the Company’s largest noninterest expense item.  During the year ended December 31, 
2018, salaries and employee benefits increased $1,382, or 6.6%, as compared to the same period in 2017.  
The increase was largely from employee compensation costs associated with annual merit increases and 
higher insurance expense.  

The  Company  also  experienced  an  increase  in  professional  fees,  which  grew  $224,  or  12.5%, 
during 2018, as compared to 2017.  Professional fees were impacted by accounting expenses associated 
with  adhering  to  regulatory  guidance  and  legal  expenses  associated  with  the  recovery  efforts  on  loan 
deficiency balances.   

67 

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

Partially  offsetting  the  negative  impacts  to noninterest  expense  was  lower foreclosure expense, 
which decreased $261, or 52.3%, during 2018, as compared to 2017. Costs associated with foreclosed 
assets  include  the  costs  of  maintaining  various  commercial  real  estate  properties,  such  as  taxes, 
management fees and general maintenance.   

Marketing  expense  also  decreased  $257,  or  24.9%,  during  2018,  as  compared  to  2017.    The 
Company’s marketing activities include costs associated with advertising, donation and public relations. 
Other noninterest  expenses  decreased $238,  or  4.3%,  during  2018,  as  compared  to  2017.  This 
decrease was impacted by various activities, including OREO maintenance (down $288) and consulting 
fees (down $81), partially offset by customer incentives (up $114) and state examination costs (up $45).  
OREO maintenance deals with the costs associated with property assets that have been acquired through 
foreclosure.  For 2018, these expenses included the costs of maintaining various commercial real estate 
properties, which consist of taxes, management fees and general maintenance.  Decreases in consulting 
fees  were  associated  with  credit  card  revenue  enhancement  strategies  that  were  incurred  during 2017.  
Customer incentive costs continued to trend higher during  2018 as part of management’s emphasis on 
further building and maintaining core deposit relationships while increasing interchange revenue.  Higher 
state  examination  costs  were  impacted  by  the  reinstatement  of  annual  assessments  on  Ohio-chartered 
banks during the fourth quarter of 2017.  Due to the timing of reinstatement, the annual assessment by the 
Ohio Division of Financial Institutions covered all of 2018, as compared to just the second half of 2017.   
The remaining noninterest expense categories decreased $33, or 0.5%, during the year-ended 2018, 
as compared to 2017.  The decreases were primarily due to lower building and equipment costs, as well 
as lower costs related to assets in process of foreclosure. 

For 2017, total noninterest expense increased $3,710, or 11.3%.  The increase was impacted by 
the  acquisition  of  Milton  Bank,  which  contributed  to  general  increases  in  most  noninterest  expense 
categories  related  to  having  a  larger  organization  after  the  merger  for  a  full  year.    Milton  Bank’s 
noninterest expense was $2,415 during 2017 as compared to $1,174 during 2016, coming mostly from 
salaries and employee benefits, as well as building and equipment costs.   

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,935, or 10.3%, during 2017  as compared to 2016.  
The increase was largely from the personnel costs associated with Milton Bank, which contributed $1,694 
to this line item during 2017 as compared to $754 during 2016.  The remaining increase of $622 to salaries 
and  employee  benefit  expense  was  largely  due  to  annual  merit  increases  and  higher  health  insurance 
expense.   

The Company also experienced increases in data processing expense, which increased $626, or 
43.0%, during 2017, as compared to 2016. Data processing charges grew as a result of higher transaction 
volume associated with debit and credit cards, as well as higher processing charges from the Company's 
Big Rewards customer incentive platform.  Higher transaction volume was impacted by the addition of 
Milton Bank customers. 

Noninterest expense was further impacted by increases in professional fees, which were up $430, 
or 31.6%, during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase was impacted by legal expense associated with 
the recovery efforts on loan deficiency balances. 

Other noninterest expenses increased $1,030, or 23.4%, during 2017, as compared to 2016.  This 
increase was impacted by various activities, including OREO maintenance (up $386), consulting fees (up 
$223), customer incentives (up $154), and state examination costs (up $134).     

Partially  offsetting  overhead  expense  increases  were  lower  merger  related  expenses,  which 
decreased $891, or 95.8%, during 2017, as compared to 2016.  Merger expenses were related to the 2016 
acquisition of Milton Bancorp and Milton Bank. Merger expenses consisted largely of services to combine 
the operating systems of both companies, as well as investment banking, accounting, and legal services.  
68 

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

The Company incurred the majority of its merger related expenses during 2016.  The remaining merger 
related expenses were minimal in 2017. 

The  remaining  noninterest  expense  categories  increased  $580,  or  9.9%,  during  the  year-ended 
2017, as compared to 2016.  The increases were primarily due to higher software and marketing expenses, 
as well as higher costs related to assets in process of foreclosure. 

The  Company's  efficiency  ratio  is  defined  as  noninterest  expense  as  a  percentage  of  fully  tax-
equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income. The effects from provision expense are excluded 
from the efficiency ratio. Management continues to place emphasis on managing its balance sheet mix 
and interest rate sensitivity as well as developing more innovative ways to generate noninterest revenue. 
During 2018, the Company was successful in generating more net interest income primarily due to higher 
average earning assets and increases in short-term market rates, but experienced margin compression due 
to  larger  amounts  of  excess  deposits  being  maintained  in  lower-yielding  asset  accounts.  Furthermore, 
noninterest  revenue  decreased  5.3%  during  2018,  which,  when  combined  with  net  interest  income, 
lowered the overall revenue growth pace to a level comparable to the pace of growth in overhead expense.  
As a result, the Company's efficiency number improved just slightly to 70.47% at December 31, 2018, as 
compared to 70.48% at December 31, 2017. During 2017, the Company was successful in generating more 
net interest income primarily due to higher average earning assets while minimizing funding costs, which 
contributed to a 9 basis point improvement in the net interest margin. Income growth from interchange 
income and BOLI and annuity asset investments caused noninterest revenues to grow by 14.5%, while 
overhead expenses were up 11.3% from the prior year.  These factors have caused the level of net revenues 
to outpace overhead expenses during 2017. As a result, the Company's efficiency number improved to 
70.48% at December 31, 2017, as compared to 72.75% at December 31, 2016.  

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES 

The provision for income taxes during 2018 totaled $2,255 compared to $4,486 in 2017 and $1,920 
in 2016.  The effective tax rates for 2018, 2017 and 2016 were 15.9%, 37.4% and 21.7%, respectively. 
The decline in the effective tax rate in 2018 reflects the changes made by the TCJA, which was enacted 
on December 22, 2017.  The TCJA provided for a reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 
34%  to  21%  effective  January  1,  2018,  as  well  as  the  introduction  of  business-related  exclusions, 
deductions and credits.  The higher effective tax rate from 2017 was the result of a $1,783 tax expense 
adjustment related to the TCJA.  During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s deferred tax assets and 
liabilities had to be revalued using the 21% federal tax rate.   

FINANCIAL CONDITION: 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents  consist  of cash, as well as interest- and non-interest 
bearing balances due from banks.  The amounts of cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis 
due  to  customer  activity  and  liquidity  needs.    At  December  31,  2018,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  had 
decreased $3,393, or 4.6%, to $71,180, as compared to $74,573 at December 31, 2017.  The decrease in 
cash and cash equivalents was  impacted  mostly  from  the Company’s  interest-bearing  Federal  Reserve 
Bank clearing account, impacted by the funding need associated with growth in loans from year-end 2017.  
The Company utilizes its interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account to maintain seasonal tax 
refund deposits, as well as to fund earning asset growth and maturities of retail CD’s.  The interest rate 
paid on both the required and excess reserve balances is based on the targeted federal funds rate established 
by  the  Federal  Open  Market  Committee.    Short-term  rate  increases  of  25  basis  points  during  each  of 
69 

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

March, June, September and December 2018 caused the federal funds rate to finish at 2.50% at December 
31,  2018.    The  interest  rate  increases  had  a  corresponding  effect  on  the  interest  revenue  growth 
experienced during 2018 on Federal Reserve Bank clearing account balances. The 2.50% interest rate is 
higher  than  the  rate  the  Company  would  have  received  from  its  investments  in  federal  funds  sold. 
Furthermore,  Federal  Reserve  Bank  balances  are  100%  secured.    The  Company  also  experienced  a 
significant decrease in business checking deposits from year-end 2017 related to one depositor relationship 
during the first quarter of 2018. 

As  liquidity  levels  vary  continuously  based  on  consumer  activities,  amounts  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents can vary widely at any given point in time. The Company’s focus will be to invest available 
funds  into  longer-term,  higher-yielding  assets,  primarily  loans,  when  the  opportunities  arise.  Further 
information  regarding  the  Company’s  liquidity  can  be  found  under  the  caption  “Liquidity”  in  this 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis. 

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 

At December 31, 2018, the Company had $2,065 in certificates of deposit owned by the Captive, 
up  from  year-end  2017.  The  deposits  on  hand  at  December  31,  2018  consist  of  nine  certificates  with 
remaining maturity terms ranging from less than 12 months up to 33 months.

Management's  goal  in  structuring  the 
portfolio  is  to  maintain  a  prudent  level  of 
liquidity while providing an acceptable rate of 
return  without  sacrificing  asset  quality.  
During  2018,  the  balance  of  total  securities 
decreased  $726,  or  0.6%,  compared to  year-
end  2017.  The  Company’s 
investment 
securities  portfolio  is  made  up  mostly  of 
Agency 
securities, 
mortgage-backed 
representing  72.5%  of  total  investments  at 
December  31,  2018.  During  the  year  ended 
2018, the Company invested $15,826 in new 
Agency  mortgage-backed  securities,  while 
receiving  principal  repayments  of  $16,430. 
The monthly repayment of principal has been 
the  primary  advantage  of  Agency  mortgage-
backed securities as compared to other types 
of 
investment  securities,  which  deliver 
proceeds  upon  maturity  or  call  date.  The

and 
associated  with 
its  state  and  municipal

     Tax-equivalent  adjustments  of  $95  have  been  made  in  calculating  yields  on  obligations  of  states  and  political 
subdivisions  using  a  21%  rate.  Weighted  average  yields  are  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  cost  and  effective  yields 
weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. Mortgage-backed securities, which have prepayment provisions, 
are assigned to a maturity category based on estimated average lives. Securities are shown at their fair values, which 
include the market value adjustments for available for sale securities. 

securities at December 31, 2018.  The fair value  of an investment security moves inversely to interest 
rates, so as rates increased, the unrealized loss in the portfolio was further affected. These changes in rates 
are typical and do not impact earnings of the Company as long as the securities are held to full maturity. 
 Management  has  not  had  to  sell  a  debt  security  during  2018  and  2017  in  order  to  maintain 

sufficient liquidity, as maturing securities have historically accomplished this.   

Prior to 2017, the reinvestment rates on debt securities had shown limited returns due to a sustained 
low rate environment.  The weighted average FTE yield on debt securities was 2.29% at both year-end 
2017 and year-end 2016.  Short-term rate increases of 75 basis points in 2017 and 100 basis points in 2018 
have had a lagging, but positive impact to the yield on average securities.  At December 31, 2018, the 
weighted average FTE yield on debt securities increased 10 basis points to 2.39% from 2.29% the year 
before.  While the return performance of debt securities has improved, the Company’s focus will still be 
to generate interest revenue primarily through loan growth, as loans generate the highest yields of total 
earning  assets.    Table  III  provides  a  summary  of  the  securities  portfolio  by  category  and  remaining 
contractual  maturity.    Issues  classified  as  equity  securities  have  no  stated  maturity  date  and  are  not 
included in Table III. 

LOANS   

In 2018, the Company's primary category of earning assets and most significant source of interest 
income, total loans, increased $7,733, or 1.0%, to finish at $777,052.  The increase in loan balances from 
year-end 2017 came primarily from the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, being partially offset 
by balance decreases in the residential real estate loan portfolio.  

Management  continues  to  place  emphasis  on  its  commercial  lending,  which  generally  yields  a 
higher  return  on  investment  as  compared  to  other  types  of  loans.  The  commercial  lending  segment 
increased $9,068, or 2.8%, from year-end 2017, which came mostly from the commercial and industrial 
loan portfolio, which increased $6,154, or 5.7%, from year-end 2017. The increase was mostly impacted 
by  a  $7,961  state  and  municipal  loan  origination  from  the  West  Virginia  market  area  during  the  first

quarter of 2018.  Commercial and industrial loans consist of loans to corporate borrowers primarily in 
small  to  mid-sized  industrial  and  commercial  companies  that  include  service,  retail  and  wholesale 
merchants. Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, inventory, and stock. The commercial real 
estate loan  segment  comprises the  largest  portion  of the Company's  total  commercial  loan  portfolio at 
December  31,  2018,  representing 
65.6%. 
  Commercial  real  estate 
owner-occupied, 
consists 
nonowner-occupied and construction 
loans. Owner-occupied loans consist 
nonresidential 
of 
properties.    A  commercial  owner-
occupied 
a  borrower 
purchased  building  or  space  for 
which  the  repayment  of  principal  is 
dependent upon cash flows from the 
ongoing operations conducted by the 
party, or an affiliate of the party, who 
owns the property.  Owner-occupied 
loans of the Company include loans 
secured  by  hospitals,  churches,  and 
hardware  and  convenience  stores.  
are 
Nonowner-occupied 
property 
the 
repayment of principal is dependent 
upon  rental  income  associated  with 
the  property  or  the  subsequent  sale 
of  the  property,  such  as  apartment 
buildings, condominiums, hotels and 
motels.    These  loans  are  primarily 
impacted 
economic 
conditions, which dictate occupancy 
rates and the amount of rent charged. 
Commercial  construction  loans  are 
extended to individuals as well as corporations for the construction of an individual property or multiple 
properties and are secured by raw land and the subsequent improvements.  Commercial real estate also 
includes loan participations with other banks outside the Company’s primary market area.  Although the 
Company is not actively seeking to participate in loans originated outside its primary market area, it has 
taken 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. Commercial real estate loans totaled $216,360 
at December 31, 2018, an increase of $2,914, or 1.4%, over the balance of commercial real estate loans at 
year-end  2017.  Most  of  this  growth  came  from  nonowner-occupied  loan  originations,  with  balances 
increasing $15,617, or 15.4%, from year-end 2018.  Nonowner-occupied loan originations during 2018 
came mostly from the Waverly and Athens, Ohio markets.  Partially offsetting these increases within the 
commercial real estate loan segment were larger payoffs from the owner-occupied loan segment, which 
decreased  $11,879,  or  16.1%,  from  year-end  2018.    Construction  loans  related  to  one-  to  four-family

residential homes, as well as multi-family residential and land development properties, decreased $824, 
or 2.2%, from year-end 2017.   

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,  the  effects  of 
competitive pressure and normal underwriting considerations.  

Total  loans  also  received  positive  contributions  from  the  Company’s  consumer  loan  portfolio, 
which increased $3,749, or 2.7%, from  year-end 2017.  The Company’s  consumer loans are primarily 
secured by automobiles, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Personal loans 
and unsecured credit card receivables are also included as consumer loans.  The consumer loan portfolio 
during 2018 benefited mostly from automobile loans, which increased $1,600, or 2.3%, from year-end 
2017.  Automobile  loans  represent  the  Company's  largest  consumer  loan  segment  at  49.0%  of  total 
consumer loans. The Company  continues to target more auto dealers within its market areas  and offer 
interest rates that are more competitive with local banks. Growth in automobile loans was further enhanced 
by increases in both home equity and other consumer type loans, which collectively were up $2,149, or 
3.03%, from year-end 2017. Other consumer loan types include all-terrain and recreational vehicles, as 
well as unsecured loans. The Company will continue to attempt to increase its auto lending segment while 
maintaining strict loan underwriting processes to limit future loss exposure. However, the Company will 
place more emphasis on loan portfolios (i.e. commercial and, to a smaller extent, residential real estate) 
with  higher  returns  than  auto  loans.    Indirect  automobile  loans  bear  additional  costs  from  dealers  that 
partially offset interest revenue and lower the rate of return.   

As previously mentioned, the Company believes that it may experience a reduction in consumer 
loan  balances  as  a  result  of  a  new  state  law  signed  on  July  30,  2018.    The  new  law  places  numerous 
restrictions on short-term and small loans that would apply to much of the lending of Loan Central.  The 
Company will continue to determine the effect of the law on Loan Central and the Company, including 
whether Loan Central might qualify for an exemption from the law, which will not apply to loans prior to 
April 27, 2019.   

Generating  residential  real  estate  loans  remains  a  significant  focus  of  the  Company’s  lending 
efforts. The residential real estate loan segment comprises the largest portion of the Company's overall 
loan portfolio at 39.1% and consists primarily of one- to four-family residential mortgages and carries 
many  of  the  same  customer  and  industry  risks  as  the  commercial  loan  portfolio.  During  2018,  total 
residential real estate loan balances decreased $5,084, or 1.6%, from year-end 2017. This decrease was 
largely  the  result  of  increasing  short-term  adjustable-rate  mortgages,  which  were  up  $638,  being 
completely offset by decreasing long-term fixed-rate mortgages, which decreased $8,556, from year-end 
2017. As part of management’s interest rate risk strategy, the Company continues to sell most of its long-
term fixed-rate residential mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, while maintaining 
the servicing rights for those mortgages.  A customer which does not qualify for a long-term, secondary 
market loan may choose from one of the Company's other adjustable-rate mortgage products, which has 
contributed  to  higher  balances  of  adjustable-rate  mortgages  from  year-end  2017.    The  decrease  in 
residential  real  estate  loans  was  partially  offset  by  the  Bank's  warehouse  lending  volume.  Warehouse 
lending consists of a line of credit provided by the Bank to another mortgage lender that makes loans for 
the purchase of one- to four-family residential real estate properties. The mortgage lender eventually sells 
the  loans  and  repays  the  Bank.  From  year-end  2017,  warehouse  lending  balances  increased  $6,795  to 
finish at $15,826 at year-end 2018.  

The Company will continue to follow its secondary market strategy until long-term interest rates 
increase  back  to  a  range  that  falls  within  an  acceptable  level  of  interest  rate  risk  for  the  Company.

Furthermore, the Company will continue to monitor the pace of its loan volume and remain consistent in 
its approach to sound underwriting practices and a focus on asset quality.   

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES  

Tables IV and V have been provided to enhance the understanding of the loan portfolio and the 
allowance for loan losses.  Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses quarterly 
based  on  several  factors,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  general  economic  conditions,  loan  portfolio 
composition,  prior  loan  loss  experience,  and  management's  estimate  of  probable  incurred  losses. 
Management  continually  monitors  the  loan  portfolio  to  identify  potential  portfolio  risks  and  to  detect 
potential credit deterioration in the early stages, and then establishes reserves based upon its evaluation of 
these inherent risks. Actual losses on loans are reflected as reductions in the reserve and are referred to as 
charge-offs. The  amount  of the  provision for loan losses  charged  to  operating  expenses  is  the amount 
necessary, in management's opinion, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level that is 
reflective of probable and inherent loss. The allowance  required  is primarily  a function  of  the relative 
quality  of  the  loans  in  the  loan  portfolio,  the  mix  of  loans  in  the  portfolio  and  the  rate  of  growth  of 
outstanding  loans.  Impaired  loans,  which  include  loans  classified  as  TDR’s,  are  considered  in  the 
determination of the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. 

Management continues to focus on improving asset quality and lowering credit risk while working 
to maintain its relationships with its borrowers.  During 2018, the Company’s allowance for loan losses 
decreased $771, or 10.3%, to finish at $6,728, compared to $7,499 at year-end 2017. The allowance was 
impacted by a decrease  of $775 in general  allocations  from  year-end  2017. As  part  of the Company’s 
quarterly analysis of the allowance  for loan  losses,  management  reviewed  various  factors  that directly 
impact  the  general  allocation  needs  of  the  allowance,  which  include:    historical  loan  losses,  loan 
delinquency  levels,  local  economic  conditions  and  unemployment  rates,  criticized/classified  asset 
coverage levels and loan loss recoveries. From year-end 2017, the historical loss factor decreased by 1 
basis point and the economic risk factor decreased by 11 basis points, which contributed to a lower general 
allocation of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018.  The Company’s improved delinquency 
levels at year-end 2018 had a positive impact to reducing risk factors, with both nonperforming loans and 
nonperforming assets finishing lower than the  year before.    A contributing  factor  to  this  was a 14.2% 
decrease in nonaccruing loans from year-end 2017, primarily within the commercial real estate segment.  
Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets at December 31, 2018 continue to be in various stages of 
resolution for which management believes loans are adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately 
considered  in  its  determination  of  the  adequacy  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  General  risks  in  the 
portfolio were also positively impacted by lower impaired loans at December 31, 2018, which decreased 
$5,490, or 30.3%, from year-end 2017, while criticized and classified loans from the commercial loan 
segment were comparable at $34 million at year-end 2018 and 2017.   

Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses identify loan impairment by measuring fair 
value of the underlying collateral and the present value of estimated future cash flows. At year-end 2018, 
the  Company  continued  to  maintain  a  single  specific  allocation  on  a  commercial  real  estate  loan  that 
remained  relatively  unchanged  from  year-end  2017.  This  change  in  specific  reserves  during  2018 
generated a $4 increase to provision expense. 

At December 31, 2018, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses decreased to 0.87%, compared to 
0.98% at December 31, 2017.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 
2018 was adequate and reflected probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. There can be no assurance, 
however, that adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be required in the future. Changes in 
the circumstances  of particular borrowers, as  well as adverse  developments in the economy, are factors

purposes. All of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired. 

     Management formally considers placing a loan on nonaccrual status when collection of principal or interest has become 
doubtful. Furthermore, a loan should not be returned to the accrual status unless either all delinquent principal or interest has 
been brought current or the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of collection.

that could change and make adjustments to the allowance for loan losses necessary. Asset quality  will 
continue to remain a key focus, as management continues to stress not just loan growth, but quality in loan 
underwriting as well.  Future provisions  to  the  allowance for loan  losses  will  continue to  be based on 
management’s quarterly in-depth evaluation that is discussed in further detail under the caption “Critical 
Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan Losses” within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.  

DEPOSITS 

Deposits are used as part of the Company’s liquidity management strategy to meet obligations for 
depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations.  
Deposits, both interest- and noninterest-bearing, continue to be the most significant source of funds used 
by the Company to support earning assets.  Deposits are attractive sources of funding because of their 
stability and generally low cost as compared with other funding sources.  The Company seeks to maintain 
a  proper  balance  of  core  deposit  relationships  on  hand  while  also  utilizing  various  wholesale  deposit 
sources, such as brokered and internet CD balances, as an alternative funding source to manage efficiently 
the net interest margin.  Deposits are influenced by  changes in interest rates, economic conditions and 
competition from other banks.  The accompanying table VII shows the composition of total deposits as of 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.  Total deposits decreased $10,020, or 1.2%, from year-end 2017 to 
finish at $846,704 at December 31, 2018. The decrease came largely from “core” deposits, which include 
noninterest-bearing deposits, as well  as  interest-bearing  demand, savings,  and  money  market  deposits. 
The Bank focuses  on  core deposit relationships  with  consumers  from  local  markets  who  can maintain 
multiple accounts and services at the Bank. The Company believes such core deposits are more stable and 
less sensitive to changing interest rates and other economic factors.  The decrease in total deposits came 
primarily  from  noninterest-bearing  balances,  which  decreased  $15,834,  or  6.2%,  from  year-end  2017.  
This change came mostly from lower business checking accounts, in particular a $15 million decrease on

one commercial depositor relationship that occurred during  the first quarter of 2018.  The change was 
related to the settlement of temporary funds that had accumulated during the fourth quarter of 2017.  Also 
during 2018, the Company saw more of its business checking account balances shift into more incentive 
based checking account balances from year-end 2017.

Partially  offsetting  the  decrease  in 
noninterest-bearing  deposits  were  higher 
interest-bearing deposits from year-end 2017.  
Net  growth 
interest-bearing  deposit 
balances  came  mostly  from  the  Company’s 
time  deposits,  which  include  CD’s  and 
individual  retirement  accounts.  Total  time 
deposits  increased  $12,448,  or  6.1%,  from 
year-end  2017.    This  was  largely  driven  by 
the Company's retail CD’s, which increased 
9.8%  from  year-end  2017.    The  growth  in 
retail  CD’s  was  affected  by  a  short-term 
promotional CD offering by the Bank during 
the  fourth  quarter  of  2017  that  carried  a 
competitive  rate  to  attract  additional  retail

investment rates increasing, management has 
adjusted  its  CD  rates  upward,  which  have 
generated more of a consumer preference to 
invest in a 1- to 2-year CD, as compared to a 
tiered  money  market  product.  While  the 
Company's  preference  is  to  fund  earning 
asset  demand  with  retail  core  deposits, 
wholesale deposits are utilized to help satisfy 
earning  asset  growth.  With  consumers 
investing  more  into  CD  balances  during 
2018, the Company’s brokered CD issuances 
decreased  $3,941,  or  11.0%,  from  year-end 
2017. 
  The  Company  will  continue  to 
evaluate its use of brokered CD’s to manage 
the Company’s liquidity position and interest 

rate risk associated with longer-term, fixed-rate asset loan demand.  

  Partially offsetting higher time deposit balances was a net decrease in NOW, savings and money 
market  account  balances.    NOW  account  balances  were  down  $3,484,  or  2.2%,  from  year-end  2017. 
Money market account balances decreased $11,925, or 8.9%, from year-end 2017. The reduction in NOW 
and  money  market  balances  was  affected  by  a  consumer  preference  for  CD’s  during  2018.    These

decreases were partially offset by growth in savings account balances, which increased $8,776, or 8.1%, 
from year-end 2017. 

The Company will continue to experience increased competition for deposits in its market areas, 
which should challenge its net growth.  The Company will continue to emphasize growth and retention 
within its core deposit relationships during 2018, reflecting the Company’s efforts to reduce its reliance 
on higher cost funding and improving net interest income.    

OTHER BORROWED FUNDS 

 The  Company  also  accesses  other  funding  sources,  including  short-term  and  long-term 
borrowings, to fund potential asset growth and satisfy short-term liquidity needs. Other borrowed funds 
consist primarily of FHLB advances and promissory notes. During 2018, other borrowed funds were up 
$3,764, or 10.5%, from year-end 2017.  The increase was related to management's decision to fund specific 
fixed-rate loans with like-term FHLB advances during the first quarter of 2018. While deposits continue 
to be the primary source of funding  for  growth in  earning  assets,  management  will  continue to utilize 
Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances  and  promissory  notes  to  help  manage  interest  rate  sensitivity  and 
liquidity. 

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES 

The Company received proceeds from the issuance of one trust preferred security on March 22, 
2007 totaling $8,500 at a fixed rate of 6.58%.  The trust preferred security is now at an adjustable rate 
equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.68%.  The Company does not report the securities issued by the trust 
as a liability, but instead, reports as a liability the subordinated debenture issued by the Company and held 
by the trust.   

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS 

As discussed in Notes  I and L, 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.  Management does not anticipate that the Company’s current off-balance  sheet activities 
will have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition. 

CAPITAL RESOURCES 

The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a margin of safety 
for its depositors.  Regulations  of the  Board  of  Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System  (the  “FRB”) 
require a state-chartered bank that is a member of a Federal Reserve Bank to maintain certain amounts 
and types of capital and generally also require bank holding companies to meet such requirements on a 
consolidated  basis.    The  FRB  generally  requires  bank  holding  companies  that  have  chosen  to  become 
financial holding companies to be “well capitalized,” as defined by FRB regulations, in order to continue 
engaging in activities permissible only to bank holding companies that are registered as financial holding 
companies.    If,  however,  a  bank  holding  company,  whether  or  not  also  a  financial  holding  company, 
satisfies the requirements of the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company and Small Savings and 
Loan  Holding  Company  Policy  (the  “SBHCP”),  the  holding  company  is  not  required  to  meet  the 
consolidated  capital  requirements.    As  amended  effective  in  September,  the  SBHCP  requires  that  the 
holding company have assets of less than $3 billion, that it meet certain qualitative requirements, and that 
all of the holding company’s bank subsidiaries meet all bank capital requirements.  As of December 31, 
2018,  the  Company  was  deemed  to  meet  the  SBHCP  requirements  and  so  was  not  required  to  meet 
consolidated capital requirements at the holding company level.   

As  detailed  in  Note  P  to  the  financial  statements  at  December  31,  2018,  the  Bank’s  capital 
exceeded  the  requirements  to  be  deemed  “well  capitalized” under  applicable  prompt  corrective  action 
regulations.  Total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2018 of $117,874 increased $8,513, or 7.8%, as 
compared to $109,361 at December 31, 2017. Capital growth during 2018 came primarily from year-to-
date net income of $11,944, less dividends paid of $3,967.   

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, held to maturity securities maturing within one year and available 
for sale securities, totaling $174,270, represented 16.9% of total assets at December 31, 2018. In addition, 
the  FHLB  offers  advances  to  the  Bank,  which  further  enhances  the  Bank's  ability  to  meet  liquidity 
demands. At December 31, 2018, the Bank could borrow an additional $148,298 from the FHLB, of which 
$80,000 could be used for short-term, cash management advances. Furthermore, the Bank has established 
a  borrowing  line  with  the  Federal  Reserve.  At  December  31,  2018,  this  line  had  total  availability  of 
$59,014. Lastly, the Bank also has the ability to purchase federal funds from a correspondent bank. For 
further cash flow information, see the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.  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. 

INFLATION 

Consolidated  financial  data  included  herein  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  US  GAAP.  
Presently, US GAAP requires the Company to measure financial position and operating results in terms

of  historical  dollars  with  the  exception  of  securities  available  for  sale,  which  are  carried  at  fair  value.  
Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or deflation are generally not considered. 

In management's opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial institution to a far greater 
degree than changes in the inflation rate.  While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the 
inflation rate, they do not change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate.  Rather, 
interest rate volatility is based on changes in the expected rate of inflation, as well as monetary and fiscal 
policies.  A financial institution's ability to be relatively unaffected by changes in interest rates is a good 
indicator of its capability to perform in today's volatile economic environment.  The Company seeks to 
insulate itself from interest rate volatility by ensuring that rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities 
respond to changes in interest rates in a similar time frame and to a similar degree. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  most  significant  accounting  policies  followed  by  the  Company  are  presented  in  Note  A  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  and  business 
combinations to be critical accounting policies. 

Allowance for Loan Losses: 

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.  Loan 
losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance 
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.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information 
and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the 
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans generally consist of loans with balances of $200 
or more on nonaccrual status or nonperforming in nature.  Loans for which the terms have been modified, 
and  for  which  the  borrower  is  experiencing  financial  difficulties,  are  considered  troubled  debt 
restructurings and classified as impaired.   

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral 
value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that 
experience  insignificant  payment  delays  and  payment  shortfalls  generally  are  not  classified  as 
impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-
by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, 
including the length and reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of 
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

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

Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment.  If a loan 
is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of 
estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is 
expected  solely  from  the  collateral.   Smaller  balance  homogeneous  loans,  such  as  consumer  and  most 
residential real estate, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately 
identified for impairment disclosure.  Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of 
estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is 
considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.  For 
troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in 
accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.  

 The general component covers non-impaired loans and impaired loans that are not individually 
reviewed  for  impairment  and  is  based  on  historical  loss  experience  adjusted  for  current  factors.  The 
historical  loss  experience  is  determined  by  portfolio  segment  and  is  based  on  the  actual  loss  history 
experienced  by  the  Company  over  the  most  recent  3  years  for  the  consumer  and  real  estate  portfolio 
segment and 5 years for the commercial portfolio segment. The total loan portfolio's actual loss experience 
is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These 
economic  factors  include  consideration  of  the  following:  levels  of  and  trends  in  delinquencies  and 
impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; 
effects of  any  changes in risk selection and  underwriting  standards;  other  changes  in  lending policies, 
procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; 
national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit 
concentrations.  The  following  portfolio  segments  have  been  identified:  Commercial  Real  Estate, 
Commercial and Industrial, Residential Real Estate, and Consumer. 

Commercial and industrial loans consist of borrowings for commercial purposes to individuals, 
corporations,  partnerships,  sole  proprietorships,  and  other  business  enterprises.   Commercial  and 
industrial  loans  are  generally  secured  by  business  assets  such  as  equipment,  accounts  receivable, 
inventory, or any other asset excluding real estate and generally made to finance capital expenditures or 
operations.  The Company’s risk exposure is related to deterioration in the value of collateral securing the 
loan should foreclosure become necessary.  Generally, business assets used or produced in operations do

not  maintain  their  value  upon  foreclosure,  which  may  require  the  Company  to  write-down  the  value 
significantly to sell.   

 Commercial real estate consists of nonfarm, nonresidential loans secured by owner-occupied and 
nonowner-occupied commercial real estate as well as commercial construction loans.  An owner-occupied 
loan relates to a borrower purchased building or space for which the repayment of principal is dependent 
upon cash flows from the ongoing business operations conducted by the party, or an affiliate of the party, 
who owns the property.  Owner-occupied loans that are dependent on cash flows from operations can be 
adversely affected by current market conditions for their product or service.  A nonowner-occupied loan 
is a property loan for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon rental income associated with 
the property or the subsequent sale of the property.  Nonowner-occupied loans that are dependent upon 
rental income are primarily impacted by local economic conditions which dictate occupancy rates and the 
amount of rent charged.  Commercial construction loans consist of borrowings to purchase and develop 
raw land into one- to four-family residential properties.  Construction loans are extended to individuals as 
well as corporations for the construction of an individual or multiple properties and are secured by raw 
land and the subsequent improvements.  Repayment of the loans to real estate developers is dependent 
upon the sale of properties to third parties in a timely fashion upon completion.  Should there be delays in 
construction or a downturn in the market for those properties, there may be significant erosion in value 
which may be absorbed by the Company.   

Residential real estate loans consist of loans to individuals for the purchase of one- to four-family 
primary  residences  with  repayment  primarily  through  wage  or  other  income  sources  of  the  individual 
borrower.   The  Company’s  loss  exposure  to  these  loans  is  dependent  on  local  market  conditions  for 
residential  properties  as  loan  amounts  are  determined,  in  part,  by  the  fair  value  of  the  property  at 
origination.   

Consumer loans are comprised of loans to individuals secured by automobiles, open-end home 
equity loans and other loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, both 
secured and unsecured.  These loans typically have maturities of 6 years or less with repayment dependent 
on individual wages and income.  The risk of loss on consumer loans is elevated as the collateral securing 
these loans, if any, rapidly depreciate in value or may be worthless and/or difficult to locate if repossession 
is necessary.  During the last several years, one of the most significant portions of the Company’s net loan 
charge-offs  have  been  from  consumer  loans.   Nevertheless,  the  Company  has  allocated  the  highest 
percentage of its allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans to the other identified loan portfolio 
segments due to the larger dollar balances associated with such portfolios.

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

Business Combinations: 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition 
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any noncontrolling interest 
in  the  acquiree.    Acquisition  related  transaction  costs  are  expensed  and  included  in  other  operational 
results. When a business is acquired, the Company assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for 
appropriate  classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms,  economic 
circumstances and pertinent conditions as of the acquisition date.  We are required to record the assets 
acquired, including identified intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at their fair value. These often 
involve  estimates  based  on  third  party  valuations,  such  as  appraisals,  or  internal  valuations  based  on 
discounted  cash  flow  analyses  or  other  valuation  techniques  that  may  include  estimates  of  attrition, 
inflation, asset growth rates, or other relevant factors. In addition, the determination of the useful lives 
over which an intangible asset will be amortized is subjective. Under FASB ASC 350 (SFAS No. 142 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets), goodwill and indefinite-lived assets recorded must be reviewed 
for impairment on an annual basis, as well as on an interim basis if events or changes indicate that the 
asset might be impaired. An impairment loss must be recognized for any excess of carrying value over 
fair value of the goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible asset. 

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK 

The Company maintains a diversified credit portfolio, with residential real estate loans currently 
comprising the most significant portion.  Credit risk is primarily subject to loans made to businesses and 
individuals in southeastern Ohio and 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.
