NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. ("Ohio Valley") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Ohio Valley Bank Company (the "Bank"), Loan Central, Inc. ("Loan Central"), a consumer finance company, Ohio Valley Financial Services Agency, LLC ("Ohio Valley Financial Services"), an insurance agency, and OVBC Captive, Inc. (the "Captive"), a limited purpose property and casualty insurance company. 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". All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim financial statements are prepared by the Company without audit and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2018, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances. The Annual Report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements for 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2018. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or shareholders' equity.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform to US GAAP established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION: Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business, banking and consumer finance.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share are computed based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,711,608 and 4,672,316 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Ohio Valley had no dilutive effect and no potential common shares issuable under stock options or other agreements for any period presented.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES ("ASU"): 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 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.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 2.

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 has elected to early adopt this accounting guidance effective April 1, 2018. This will result in the reclassification of $173 in stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings beginning with 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 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.

NOTE 1- 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.

ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE TO BE ADOPTED IN FUTURE PERIODS: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report "expected" credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current "incurred loss" 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. Management is currently in the developmental stages of implementing the ASU. A steering committee has been established, models are being evaluated, and available historical information is being collected, in order to assess the expected credit losses. However, the impact to the financial statements is still yet to be determined.

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.

NOTE 2 – 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.

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.

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%.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had no recorded investment in impaired loans that were measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans. As a result, there was no impact to provision expense on such loans during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and no additional charge-offs recognized. This is compared to a decrease of $221 in provision expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017, with $558 in additional 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 and no charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Other real estate owned that was measured at fair value less costs to sell at March 31, 2018 and 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. There were no corresponding write downs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Certificates of Deposit in Financial Institutions: The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit in financial institutions approximate fair values and are classified as Level 2.

Securities Held to Maturity: The fair values for securities held to maturity are determined in the same manner as securities held for sale and discussed earlier in this note. Level 3 securities consist of nonrated municipal bonds and tax credit ("QZAB") bonds.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks: It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and United Bankers Bank stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans: The estimated fair value of loans as of March 31, 2018 follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an "exit price" approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments. 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 value estimate shown as of December 31, 2017 used an "entry price" approach. 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. Consequently, the fair value disclosures for March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are not directly comparable.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other Borrowed Funds: The carrying values of the Company's short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated Debentures: The fair values of the Company's Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value, resulting in a classification that is consistent with the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with which it is associated.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

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.

There were no sales of investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. 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 March 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

The recorded investment of a loan is its carrying value excluding accrued interest and deferred loan fees.

Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing include both smaller balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified as impaired loans.

The Company transfers loans to other real estate owned, at fair value less cost to sell, in the period the Company obtains physical possession of the property (through legal title or through a deed in lieu). As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, other real estate owned for residential real estate properties totaled $331 and $262, respectively. In addition, nonaccrual residential mortgage loans that are in the process of foreclosure had a recorded investment of $864 and $2,410 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

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 Company has allocated reserves for a portion of its TDR's to reflect the fair values of the underlying collateral or the present value of the concessionary terms granted to the customer.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

At March 31, 2018, the balance in TDR loans decreased $2,140, or 12.6%, from year-end 2017. The Company's specific allocations in reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDR's totaled $92 at March 31, 2018, as compared to $94 in reserves at December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $1,808 in commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR's, as compared to $846 at December 31, 2017.

There were no TDR loan modifications that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Furthermore, the Company had no TDR's that, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

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 10. 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 is 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 classification should be temporary 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, 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.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

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 will include loans graded from 1 (Prime) to 7 (Watch). All commercial loans are categorized into a risk category either at the time of origination or reevaluation date. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of commercial loans by class of loans was as follows:

March 31, 2018	Pass		Criticized		Classified		Total
Commercial real estate:
Owner-occupied	$	60,371	$	908	$	8,370	$	69,649
Nonowner-occupied		98,628		1,952		4,103		104,683
Construction		37,049		134		172		37,355
Commercial and industrial		98,322		5,922		9,320		113,564
Total	$	294,370	$	8,916	$	21,965	$	325,251

December 31, 2017	Pass		Criticized		Classified		Total
Commercial real estate:
Owner-occupied	$	64,993	$	934	$	7,646	$	73,573
Nonowner-occupied		93,197		3,776		4,598		101,571
Construction		37,735		156		411		38,302
Commercial and industrial		91,097		6,058		9,934		107,089
Total	$	287,022	$	10,924	$	22,589	$	320,535

The Company also obtains the credit scores of its borrowers upon origination (if available by the credit bureau), but the scores are not updated. 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 repayment activity as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

March 31, 2018	Consumer
	Automobile		Home Equity		Other		Residential Real Estate		Total

Performing	$	67,539	$	21,338	$	48,069	$	297,278	$	434,224
Nonperforming		213		260		202		7,915		8,590
Total	$	67,752	$	21,598	$	48,271	$	305,193	$	442,814

December 31, 2017	Consumer
	Automobile		Home Equity		Other		Residential Real Estate		Total

Performing	$	68,413	$	21,148	$	49,362	$	303,126	$	442,049

Total	$	68,626	$	21,431	$	49,564	$	309,163	$	448,784

The Company, through its subsidiaries, originates residential, consumer, and commercial loans to customers located primarily in the southeastern areas of Ohio as well as the western counties of West Virginia. Approximately 4.69% of total loans were unsecured at March 31, 2018, down from 4.86% at December 31, 2017.

NOTE 5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

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 contract amounts of these instruments are not included in the consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2018, the contract amounts of these instruments totaled approximately $75,017, compared to $68,859 at December 31, 2017. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments recorded on the balance sheet. Since many of these instruments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

NOTE 6 - OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

Other borrowed funds at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are comprised of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati and promissory notes. At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, FHLB Borrowings included $18 and $29 in capitalized lease obligations, respectively.

	FHLB Borrowings		Promissory Notes		Totals

March 31, 2018	$	35,718	$	6,885	$	42,603
December 31, 2017	$	28,625	$	7,324	$	35,949

Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances were secured by $295,515 in qualifying mortgage loans, $76,898 in commercial loans and $5,365 in FHLB stock at March, 2018. Fixed-rate FHLB advances of $35,700 mature through 2042 and have interest rates ranging from 1.53% to 3.31% and a year-to-date weighted average cost of 2.34%. There were no variable-rate FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2018.

At March 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 March 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 $235,522 at March 31, 2018. Of this maximum borrowing capacity, the Company had $145,822 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 August 1, 2026, and have fixed rates ranging from 1.50% to 4.09% through August 1, 2021 and a year-to-date weighted average cost of 2.87% at March 31, 2018, as compared to 2.77% at December 31, 2017. Promissory notes payable by Ohio Valley to related parties totaled $360 at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017. Promissory notes payable to other banks totaled $3,323 at March 31, 2018, as compared to $3,440 at December 31, 2017.

Letters of credit issued on the Bank's behalf by the FHLB to collateralize certain public unit deposits as required by law totaled $54,000 at March 31, 2018 and $60,000 at December 31, 2017.

Scheduled principal payments as of March 31, 2018:

NOTE 7 – 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 88.27% and 87.7% of total consolidated revenues for the quarters end March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The accounting policies used for the Company's reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Income taxes are allocated based on income before tax expense.

Financial Overview

The Company is primarily engaged in commercial and retail banking, offering a blend of commercial and consumer banking services within southeastern Ohio as well as western West Virginia. The banking services offered by the Bank include the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of personal, commercial, floor plan and student loans; the making of construction and real estate loans; and credit card services. The Bank also offers individual retirement accounts, safe deposit boxes, wire transfers and other standard banking products and services. In addition, the Bank is one of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the payment of tax refunds through a third-party tax refund product provider. The Bank has facilitated the payment of these tax refunds through electronic refund check/deposit ("ERC/ERD") transactions. 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. ERC/ERD transactions occur primarily during the tax refund season, typically during the first quarter of each year. Loan Central also provides refund anticipation loans ("RALs") to its customers. RALs are short-term cash advances against a customer's anticipated income tax refund.

Net income totaled $3,366 during the first quarter of 2018, compared to $3,217 during the first quarter of 2017. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2018 finished at $.71 per share, compared to $.69 per share during the first quarter of 2017. Growth in earnings was impacted primarily by higher interest revenues from loans and interest-bearing deposits with banks, as well as a lower tax rate applied to operating income. These benefits were partially offset by increases in provision expense and salaries and employee benefit costs.

While earnings increased, the annualized net income to average asset ratio, or return on assets ("ROA"), decreased to 1.20% at March 31, 2018, compared to 1.23% at March 31, 2017. The Company's net income to average equity ratio, or return on equity ("ROE"), remained flat at 12.41% for both March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 showed positive growth over the same period in 2017, increasing 5.9%. The increase came primarily from interest revenues associated with year-to-date average earning asset growth of $83,527. The growth in average earning assets came mostly from the seasonal liquidity provided from the processing of tax refunds, as well as loans. The Company's average interest-bearing balances with the Federal Reserve clearing account during the first quarter of 2018 grew $45,948, or 34.8%, over the same period in 2017. Approximately half of the increase was related to higher average balances associated with seasonal processing of tax refund items. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve's action to increase short-term interest rates by 75 basis points from March 2017 to March 2018 contributed to interest revenue growth. The Company's average loans during the first quarter of 2018 increased $12,843, or 1.7%, over the same period in 2017, led by growth within the commercial loan segment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's provision expense totaled $756, as compared to just $145 in provision expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The limited provision expense during 2017's first quarter was largely the result of a $1,681 decrease in the specific allocations on one loan relationship offset by a $2,052 increase in general allocations directly related to certain economic risk factors. Provision expense during 2018 was largely the result of higher net charge-offs and general allocation increases related to economic risk and historical loan loss factors.

Total noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased by $37, or 1.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2017. Noninterest income declined largely from lower tax processing fees through ERC/ERD transactions. In addition to a reduced number of tax refunds being processed during the first quarter of 2018, the per item fees received by the Company were lower under the new contract with the third-party tax refund product provider. The Company also experienced a $46 decrease in fee income from bank owned life insurance and annuity assets, largely the result of net bank owned life insurance proceeds collected in the first quarter of 2017. Partially offsetting the decreases in noninterest income were contributions from debit and credit card interchange and lower losses on other real estate owned ("OREO"). The Company experienced an increased volume of debit and credit card transactions during the first quarter of 2018 that helped grow interchange revenue by $81, as compared to the first quarter of 2017. The Company also experienced a lower amount of write-downs to OREO assets during the first quarter of 2018 that contributed to a $37 increase in OREO income, as compared to the same period in 2017. Comparing 2018 to 2017, the change in the remaining noninterest income categories was minimal during the first quarter, increasing $39, or 5.0%.

Total noninterest expense increased $433, or 4.6%, for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was impacted mostly by a $338 increase in salaries and employee benefit costs, coming largely from annual merit increases. Further contributing to noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2018 were higher data processing and professional fees, which collectively increased $234 over the first quarter of 2017. Contributing factors were higher debit and credit card transaction volume and an increase in legal and state assessment costs. These increases were partially offset by a $137 decrease in foreclosed asset expense during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the first quarter of 2017. The remaining noninterest expense categories decreased $2, or 0.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

The Company's provision for income taxes decreased to $656 at March 31, 2018, as compared to $1,241 at March 31, 2017, which increased net income after taxes. The decrease was related to the reduction of the federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") enacted on December 22, 2017.

At March 31, 2018, total assets were $1,096,421, compared to $1,026,290 at year-end 2017. Asset growth was impacted mostly by interest-bearing deposits with banks, which increased $69,372 from year-end 2017, driven by higher balances maintained within the Company's Federal Reserve Bank clearing account resulting from seasonal tax refund processing activity. Total investment securities also increased $4,104 from year-end 2017, due mostly to new purchases of mortgage-backed securities. The Company's loan portfolio was relatively stable, finishing at $768,065 at March 31, 2018, compared to $769,319 at year-end 2017. While the commercial lending segment experienced a 1.5% increase from year-end 2017, this was completely offset by a 1.4% decrease in consumer loans and a 1.3% decrease in residential real estate loans from year-end 2017. The large level of excess funds within the Federal Reserve clearing account will continue to decrease during the second quarter of 2018 as part of the tax processing settlement process.

Total liabilities were $985,210 at March 31, 2018, up $68,281 from December 31, 2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits accounted for $60,758 of the increase and were the result of normal seasonal increases in tax refund processing activities. The Company also experienced a $6,654 increase in other borrowed funds resulting from three new long-term advances with the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $8 million that were used to fund specific earning asset purchases during the first quarter of 2018.

At March 31, 2018, total shareholders' equity was $111,211, up $1,850 since December 31, 2017. Regulatory capital ratios of the Company remained higher than the "well capitalized" minimums.

Comparison of Financial Condition
at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017

The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated financial condition of the Company at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in this Form 10‑Q.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $144,162, an increase of $69,589 from $74,573 at December 31, 2017. The increase in cash and cash equivalents came mostly from the Company's interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account, impacted by excess funds associated with deposit liability growth 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 certificates of deposit ("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 June 2017, December 2017 and March 2018 caused the federal funds rate to finish at 1.75% at March 31, 2018. The interest rate increases had a corresponding effect on the interest revenue growth experienced during the first three months of 2018 on Federal Reserve Bank clearing account balances. The 1.75% 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.

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 excess funds in longer-term, higher-yielding assets, primarily loans, when the opportunities arise.

Certificates of deposit

At March 31, 2018, the Company had $1,820 in certificates of deposit owned by the Captive, unchanged from year-end 2017. The deposits on hand at March 31, 2018 consist of eight certificates with remaining maturity terms ranging from less than 12 months up to 34 months.

Securities

The balance of total securities increased $4,104, or 3.5%, compared to year-end 2017. The Company's investment securities portfolio is made up mostly of U.S. Government agency ("Agency") mortgage-backed securities, which increased $2,501, or 2.9%, from year-end 2017 and represented 73.4% of total investments at March 31, 2018. During the first three months of 2018, the Company invested $7,942 in new Agency mortgage-backed securities, while receiving principal repayments of $3,802. 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 Company also experienced a $1,830, or 13.6%, increase in U.S. Government sponsored entity securities, primarily from a new purchase during the first quarter of 2018.

Loans

The loan portfolio represents the Company's largest asset category and is its most significant source of interest income. Gross loan balances totaled $768,065 at March 31, 2018, representing a decrease of $1,254, or 0.2%, as compared to $769,319 at December 31, 2017. Positive loan growth from the commercial and industrial portfolio was completely offset by balance decreases in the residential real estate, commercial real estate and consumer automobile loan portfolios.

The residential real estate loan segment comprises the largest portion of the Company's overall loan portfolio at 39.7% 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. Residential real estate loan balances during the first three months of 2018 decreased $3,970 or 1.3%, from year-end 2017. This decrease was largely from 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 decreased $3,534 to finish at $5,497 at March 31, 2018. The real estate loan portfolio is also impacted by loan construction projects. During the period when a borrower's one- to four-family residential home is being built, it is first classified as a construction loan. At the completion of this construction phase, the loan is re-classified to a residential real estate loan. At March 31, 2018, construction loans were down 2.5%, indicating a higher transition of loan balances from commercial real estate to residential real estate, which helped to partially offset the decline in warehouse lending volume. Total loan production within the real estate portfolio consists of increasing short-term adjustable-rate mortgages partially offset by decreasing long-term fixed-rate mortgages. 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 that 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 that also helped to partially offset the effects of lower warehouse lending volume.

The commercial lending segment increased $4,716, or 1.5%, from year-end 2017, which came mostly from the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, which increased $6,475, or 6.0%, 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 March 31, 2018, representing 65.1%. At March 31, 2018, commercial real estate loans totaled $211,687, which represented a decrease of $1,759, or 0.8%, from year-end 2017. Larger payoffs caused owner-occupied loans to decrease $3,924, or 5.3%, from year-end 2017, while a higher number of one- to four-family residential homes completed their building phase, causing construction loans to decrease $947, or 2.5%, from year-end 2017. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in nonowner-occupied loan originations, causing balances to grow by $3,112, or 3.1%, from year-end 2017. This increase was largely from a $5,300 loan origination during the first quarter of 2018. 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. Management will continue to place emphasis on its commercial lending, which generally yields a higher return on investment as compared to other types of loans.

Consumer loan balances at March 31, 2018 represented a decrease of $2,000, or 1.4%, from year-end 2017. The decrease was largely due to the Company's automobile loan segment, which decreased by $874, or 1.3%, from year-end 2017. Automobile loans represent the Company's largest consumer loan segment at 49.2% of total consumer loans. Further decreases in consumer loans came from recreational and all-terrain vehicles, as well as other general purpose consumer loans. The Company will continue to attempt to increase its auto lending segment while maintaining strict loan underwriting processes to limit future loss exposure.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company established a $7,996 allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2018, which was an increase from the $7,499 allowance at year-end 2017. The allowance was impacted by an increase of $499 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 need 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. The Company experienced a higher level of nonaccruing residential real estate loans during the first quarter of 2018, which caused the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans to increase from 1.36% at December 31, 2017 to 1.63% at March 31, 2018. This also contributed to an increase in the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, which finished at 1.27% at March 31, 2018, compared to 1.17% at December 31, 2017. General risks in the portfolio were positively impacted by lower impaired loans at March 31, 2018, which decreased $1,881, or 10.4%, from year-end 2017, while criticized and classified loans from the commercial loan segment were collectively down $2,632, or 7.9%, from year-end 2017.

Partially offsetting the increase in general allocations was a decrease in the Company's specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses from $94 at year-end 2017 to $92 at March 31, 2018. 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. The specific allocations at March 31, 2018 and year-end 2017 were related to one commercial real estate loan relationship.

The Company's allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio finished at 1.04% at March 31, 2018 and 0.97% at year-end 2017. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 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 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.

Deposits

Deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds used by the Company to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Total deposits at March 31, 2018 increased $62,784, or 7.3%, from year-end 2017. This deposit growth came primarily from noninterest-bearing deposit balances. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company experienced a significant increase in its business checking account balances, which increased $57,541, or 40.6%, from year-end 2017. This increase was largely the result of ERC/ERD tax refund items processed during the first quarter of 2018. The Company facilitates a significant volume of tax items within several business checking accounts during this seasonal period, which resulted in over $86 million of retained funds. As a result of the tax processing activity being seasonal, the elevated first quarter balances within the Company's business checking accounts should decrease during the remainder of 2018. Partially offsetting this growth in deposits were lower business checking account balances, decreasing over $21 million from year-end 2017. This decrease came primarily from one commercial depositor relationship.

Also contributing to growth in deposits was the Company's interest-bearing time deposits, which increased $5,698, or 2.8%, from year-end 2017. This increase was largely driven by the Company's use of wholesale funding, which saw its brokered CD's increase by $4,000, or 11.6%, from year-end 2017. Retail time deposits also increased $1,843, or 1.1% from year-end 2017, largely from a short-term promotional CD offering by the Bank during the fourth quarter of 2017 that carried a competitive rate to attract additional retail funding. Based on the minimal spread between a short-term CD rate and a statement savings rate, many customers choose to invest balances into a more liquid product, perhaps hoping for rising rates in the near future. This change in retail time deposits from year-end 2017 fits within management's strategy of focusing on more "core" deposit balances, while utilizing wholesale deposit sources as needed.

Interest-bearing deposit growth was further impacted by interest-bearing NOW account balances, which increased $6,667, or 4.2%, during the first three months of 2018 as compared to year-end 2017. This increase was largely driven by growth in municipal NOW products due to seasonality of tax collections received, which typically decrease in the second quarter. Growth in interest-bearing deposits was further impacted by a $4,910, or 4.6%, increase in statement savings account balances from year-end 2017.

Partially offsetting interest-bearing deposit growth were lower money market account balances, decreasing $15,249, or 11.4%, from year-end 2017, largely from the Company's brokered money market funding source. With loan balances flattening out during the first quarter of 2018 and excess funds increasing from seasonal tax deposit clearing activity, deposit balances from the Company's brokered money market account were reduced. The Company will continue to utilize wholesale deposits to help satisfy earning asset growth when necessary, as it considers wholesale deposits to still be a cost-effective funding source for earning assets.

While facing increased competition for deposits in its market areas, the Company will continue to emphasize growth and retention in its core deposit relationships during the remainder of 2018, reflecting the Company's efforts to reduce its reliance on higher cost funding and improving net interest income.

Other Borrowed Funds

Other borrowed funds were $42,603 at March 31, 2018, an increase of $6,654, or 18.5%, 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.

Shareholders' Equity

The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a margin of safety for its depositors. At March 31, 2018, the Bank's capital exceeded the minimum requirements to be deemed "well capitalized" under applicable prompt corrective action regulations. Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2018 of $111,211 increased $1,850, or 1.7%, as compared to $109,361 at December 31, 2017. Capital growth during 2018 came primarily from year-to-date net income of $3,366. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $1,237 from year-end 2017, as increasing interest rates at the end of the first quarter caused a reduction in the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio. 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.

Comparison of Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended

March 31, 2018 and 2017

The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in this Form 10‑Q.

Net Interest Income

The most significant portion of the Company's revenue, net interest income, results from properly managing the spread between interest income on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. During the first quarter of 2018, net interest income increased $645, or 5.9%, as compared to the first quarter of 2017. The improvement came primarily from an average balance growth in loans and interest-bearing deposits with banks, as well as short-term rate increases from a year ago.

Total interest and fee income recognized on the Company's earning assets increased $971, or 8.3%, during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The growth was led by interest and fees on loans, which increased $459, or 4.3%, over 2017. Average loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018 grew by 1.7%, or $12,843, led by commercial loans. Throughout most of 2017, the Company experienced a growing trend of loan origination improvement that has had a positive impact to loan earnings in 2018. The West Virginia market areas have been successful in generating over $14 million in loans from a year ago at March 31, 2017. The Athens, Ohio loan production office has also been successful in generating over $12 million in average commercial and residential real estate loans from a year ago at March 31, 2017. Average loan growth from a year ago was also impacted by growth within the automobile segment, as well as the commercial and industrial loan segment, impacted by loan participations and loans to states and political subdivisions. Although average loans were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 than for the same quarter of last year, loan balances at March 31, 2018 declined from year-end 2017 as a result of slower loan demand and larger payoffs on certain commercial loans during the most recent quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, interest income from interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $425, or 163.5%, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher interest revenue recorded from 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. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, this account had $177,972 in average balances, as compared to $132,024 during the same period in 2017, which contributed to higher interest income. Furthermore, this interest-bearing account carried an interest rate of 1.0% at March 31, 2017. In June 2017, the Federal Reserve increased short-term rates by 25 basis points, and then again in both December 2017 and March 2018 by another 25 basis points each. These short-term rate adjustments have increased the Federal Reserve clearing account's interest rate from 1.0% a year ago to 1.75%. 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 was maintained within the Federal Reserve clearing account. Since the first quarter of 2018, these excess funds have been decreasing as a result of exiting the tax season.

Total interest expense incurred on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities during the first quarter of 2018 increased $326, or 37.3%, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily from interest expense on deposits, particularly time deposits. With loan demand up and average loan balances growing successfully during most of 2017, the Company utilized more CD balances as a funding source to help keep pace with earning assets. The Company was successful in marketing a short-term CD special during the fourth quarter of 2017 that helped generate additional retail funds. The Company also utilized more brokered CD deposits as an additional funding source during 2017. As a result, average time deposits through March 31, 2018 have grown over $20 million when compared to average time deposits at March 31, 2017. The Company's use of higher-costing time deposits caused the Company's total weighted average costs on interest-bearing deposits to increase by 11 basis points from 0.43% at March 31, 2017 to 0.60% at March 31, 2018. The higher average cost associated with time deposits, combined with higher average balances in 2018, contributed to over 70% of the interest expense increase in 2018.

The Company's net interest margin is defined as fully tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. During 2018, the Company's net interest margin results decreased from the prior year, finishing at 4.38% during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to 4.52% during the first quarter of 2017. The decrease was related to the 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 primary focus is to invest its funds into higher yielding assets, particularly loans, as opportunities arise. However, if loan balances do not continue to expand and remain a larger component of overall earning assets, the Company will face pressure within its net interest income and margin improvement.

Provision for Loan Losses

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company's provision expense totaled $756, which is an increase over the $145 in provision expense during the first quarter of 2017. Provision expense during 2018 was primarily impacted by net charge-offs and general reserve factors associated with economic risk and loan loss history. Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2018 totaled $259, mostly from the consumer loan segment, that required corresponding charges to provision expense. General allocations of the allowance during the first quarter of 2018 increased $499, which also required corresponding charges to provision expense. General reserve increases were impacted by higher economic risk and historical loan loss factors. Specific allocations were relatively stable when compared to year-end 2017 and had minimal impact to provision expense during the first quarter of 2018.

Lower provision expense during the first quarter of 2017 was impacted by a $1,681 decrease in specific reserves related to one commercial real estate loan relationship that had been established in the prior year. When re-evaluating the collateral values and cash flows at March 31, 2017, it was determined this commercial real estate loan relationship was no longer impaired and no longer collateral dependent due to the borrower's financial performance improvement, resulting in the removal of that borrower's specific allocation of $1,681. Also contributing to lower provision expense in 2017 were net charge-offs on loans without specific reserves, which decreased $209 during the first quarter of 2017. These factors contributing to lower provision expense were completely offset by increases in general allocations from year-end 2016 related to certain economic risk factors. During the first quarter of 2017, management further evaluated the risks associated with loan loss history and loan underwriting that resulted in additional risk factors being added to the March 31, 2017 allowance for loan loss determination. As a result, general reserves increased $2,052 during the first quarter of 2017 that required a corresponding charge to provision expense.

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

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $37, or 1.2%, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in quarterly noninterest revenue was largely affected by the Company's seasonal ERC/ERD fees, which decreased $148, or 10.8%, from the prior year. Under its agreement with a third-party tax refund product provider, the per-item fee associated with each refund facilitated by the Bank decreased in 2018. 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 will be recorded during the first half of 2018, with only minimal income expected during the second half of 2018.

Further impacting noninterest income was lower earnings from the Company's tax-free bank owned life insurance ("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. In March of 2017, the Company recorded $31 in insurance proceeds, which contributed to a quarterly decrease of $46, or 20.7%, in BOLI and annuity asset income during the first quarter of 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017.

Partially offsetting these decreasing factors were increases in debit and credit card interchange income and lower OREO losses. The Company continues to benefit from the growing transaction volume associated with its debit and credit card products. 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 $81, or 10.4%, during the first quarter of 2018. Further impacting growth in noninterest income were lower losses incurred on OREO properties. This reduction was largely due to a fair value write-down of $42 recorded on one commercial property that contributed to the $50 in total OREO losses recorded during the first quarter of 2017. OREO losses during the first quarter of 2018 finished at just $13, which benefited the Company's noninterest income in 2018.

The Company's remaining noninterest income categories increased by $39, or 5.0%, during the first quarter of 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The quarterly increase was primarily due to mortgage banking income and other miscellaneous items.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2018 increased $433, or 4.6%, as compared to the same period in 2017. Salary and employee benefit cost was the key factor, increasing $338, or 6.3%, over 2017. Higher employee compensation costs continue to be impacted by annual merit increases. The Company's full-time equivalent employee base was 305 employees at March 31, 2018, compared to 294 employees at March 31, 2017.

The Company also experienced increases in data processing expense, which increased $179, or 33.5%, during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The Company's total data processing expense is largely impacted by the transaction volume associated with debit and credit cards. However, the increase from 2017 to 2018 came mostly from costs associated with improving operating system efficiencies that could potentially lead to higher noninterest revenue opportunities. The expense is subject to the actual results of noninterest revenue improvement and will be monitored during the remainder of 2018.

Overhead expense was further impacted by increases of $55, or 12.1%, in professional fees during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase was impacted by legal expense associated with the recovery efforts on loan deficiency balances. Also within this line item were higher examination fees, which 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 will cover all of 2018, as compared to just the second half of 2017.

Partially offsetting overhead expenses were lower expenses on foreclosed assets, which decreased $137, or 71.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Foreclosure expense during 2018 and 2017 included the costs of maintaining various commercial real estate properties, which consist of taxes, management fees and general maintenance.

Efficiency

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 the quarterly period ending March 31, 2018, the Company was successful in generating more net interest income primarily due to higher average earning assets. However, a decline in noninterest revenues combined with a 4.6% increase in overhead completely offset the effects of a 5.9% improvement in net interest income. As a result, the Company's efficiency number remained relatively stable, finishing at 66.8% during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to 66.2% during the same period in 2017.

Provision for income taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $656 during the first quarter of 2018 and had an effective tax rate in the quarter of 16.3% on pre-tax income of $4,022. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,241 and had an effective tax rate of 27.8% on pre-tax income of $4,458. The decline in the effective tax rate to 16.3% in the first quarter of 2018 from the effective tax rate of 27.8% in the first quarter of 2017 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.

Capital Resources

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 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 as of January 1, 2018, was 1.875%. The buffer will be phased in over a four-year period, increasing by the same amount on each subsequent January 1, until fully phased-in on January 1, 2019. 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 March 31, 2018 and year-end 2017, the Bank met the capital requirements to be deemed well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The Company's capital also met the requirements for the Company to be deemed well capitalized, as required for the Company to maintain its financial holding company status.

The following table summarizes the capital ratios (excluding the capital conservation buffer) of the Company and Bank:

	3/31/18		12/31/17		Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratio		Minimum To Be Well Capitalized (1)

Total risk-based capital ratio
Company		17.0%		16.6%		8.0%		10.0%
Bank		15.6%		15.3%		8.0%		10.0%

(1) For the Company, these amounts are required to engage in activities permissible only for a bank holding company that meets the financial holding company requirements. For the Bank, these are the amounts required for the Bank to be deemed well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Cash dividends paid by the Company were $987 during the first three months of 2018. The year-to-date dividends paid totaled $0.21 per share for 2018.

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 marketplace. Total cash and cash equivalents, held to maturity securities maturing within one year and available for sale securities, totaling $250,825, represented 22.9% of total assets at March 31, 2018. In addition, the FHLB offers advances to the Bank, which further enhances the Bank's ability to meet liquidity demands. At March 31, 2018, the Bank could borrow an additional $145,822 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 March 31, 2018, this line had total availability of $53,552. Lastly, the Bank also has the ability to purchase federal funds from a correspondent bank.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As discussed in Note 5 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, the Company engages in certain off-balance sheet credit-related activities, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which could require the Company to make cash payments in the event that specified future events occur. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. While these commitments are necessary to meet the financing needs of the Company's customers, many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note A to the financial statements in the Company's 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders. 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 which 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.

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 by 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 and inherent risk associated with such portfolios.

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 result. 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 at 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.

Concentration 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's goal for interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain a balance between steady net interest income growth and the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of the Company's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability, but excessive levels of IRR can threaten the Company's earnings and capital.

The Company evaluates IRR through the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The modeling process starts with a base case simulation, which assumes a static balance sheet and flat interest rates. The base case scenario is compared to rising and falling interest rate scenarios assuming a parallel shift in all interest rates. Comparisons of net interest income and net income fluctuations from the flat rate scenario illustrate the risks associated with the current balance sheet structure.

The Company's Asset/Liability Committee monitors and manages IRR within Board approved policy limits. The Company's current IRR policy limits anticipated changes in net interest income to an instantaneous increase or decrease in market interest rates over a 12 month horizon to +/- 5% for a 100 basis point rate shock, +/- 7.5% for a 200 basis point rate shock and +/- 10% for a 300 basis point rate shock. Based on the level of interest rates, management did not test interest rates down 200 or 300 basis points.

The following table presents the Company's estimated net interest income sensitivity:

Change in Interest Rates in Basis Points	March 31, 2018 Percentage Change in Net Interest Income	December 31, 2017 Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
+300	6.69%	2.60%
+200	4.59%	1.92%
+100	2.37%	1.06%
-100	(3.49%)	(2.06%)

The estimated percentage change in net interest income due to a change in interest rates was within the policy guidelines established by the Board. With the historical low interest rate environment, management generally has been focused on limiting the duration of assets, while trying to extend the duration of our funding sources to the extent customer preferences will permit the Company to do so. At March 31, 2018, the interest rate risk profile reflects an asset sensitive position, which produces higher net interest income due to an increase in interest rates. Contributing to the change in interest rate risk profile from December 31, 2017, was the significant increase in liquidity due to tax refund processing. The additional liquidity is maintained in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve and the interest rate is highly correlated to any rate change implemented by the Federal Reserve as part of its monetary policy. Since the deposit balance associated with tax refund processing is seasonal, management expects a portion of the balance maintained at the Federal Reserve to decline in subsequent quarters, which may reduce our asset sensitive position. In a declining rate environment, net interest income is impacted by the interest rate on many deposit accounts not being able to adjust downward. With interest rates so low, deposit accounts are perceived to be at or near an interest rate floor, specifically non-maturity type deposits, such as savings, money market and NOW accounts. As a result, net interest income decreases in a declining interest rate environment. Overall, management is comfortable with the current interest rate risk profile which reflects minimal exposure to interest rate changes.
