Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
The Board of Directors
The Lorain National Bank
Sponsor of The Lorain National Bank
Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
distribution to participants of The Lorain National Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of changes in assets available for distribution to
participants for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the assets available for distribution to participants
of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in those assets
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes at December 31, 1995, and party-in-interest
and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995 and 1994
(1) Description of the Plan
-----------------------
The following description of The Lorain National Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of
the Plan's provisions.
(a) General
-------
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by The Lorain
National Bank (Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of LNB
Bancorp, Inc., covering substantially all employees of the Bank.
An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan after the
attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service, as
defined in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust Department of the Bank acts
as trustee for the Plan and, as such, manages a trust fund which
includes all of the Plan's assets. The trustee has been granted
discretionary authority concerning purchases and sales of
investments in the trust fund made from employer contributions.
(b) Bank Contributions
------------------
The amount of the contribution is determined by the Bank's board of
directors in its absolute discretion. The Bank is not required to
make a contribution in any specific year. Contributions are
allocated to participants' accounts in the proportion each
participant's annual compensation bears to the total annual
compensation of all participants for that plan year.
(c) Voluntary Contributions
-----------------------
The Plan does not permit voluntary contributions.
(d) Vesting
-------
Each participant's vested interest in the Bank's contribution is
determined based on the number of years of service, as defined by
the Plan. Forfeitures of nonvested employer contributions are made
available first to reinstate previously forfeited account balances
of former participants. The remaining forfeitures, if any, are used
to reduce the contribution of the Bank for the plan year in which
such forfeitures occur.

Notes to Financial Statements
(e) Distributions Upon Termination of Employment
--------------------------------------------
A participant whose employment terminates by reason of retirement
on their early retirement date or on their normal retirement
date, receives their vested benefits. The participant may
elect distribution of their vested benefits either in a single
distribution or in annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly
installments.
A participant whose employment is terminated for any reason other
than those designated above may receive a single distribution of
their vested benefits.
(f) Plan Termination
----------------
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Bank has
the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set
forth in ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the assets of
the Plan will be allocated as prescribed by ERISA and its related
regulations.
(g) Plan Administrator
------------------
The plan administrator is the president and chief executive officer
of the Bank.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
(a) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared
on an accrual basis of accounting.
(b) Investments
-----------
The fair value of investments and changes therein are determined
through the use of current quoted market values. Purchases and
sales are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis.
(c) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
------------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
