   Message to Our Shareholders

    It's a pleasure, once again, to report on the progress of LNB Bancorp,
   Inc., and its subsidiary, The Lorain National Bank, after the first six
   months of 1996.

    We are pleased to announce that earnings have increased 22.6 percent for
   the first half of the year, compared to the same period one year ago.
   Consolidated net income for the first six months of 1996 reached
   $2,777,000, up from $2,265,000 for the comparative period in 1995.

    Our performance continues to strengthen, as indicated by our steadily  
   increasing annualized return on average assets, which reached 1.33 percent at
   mid-year.

    Year-to-date cash dividends declared to shareholders has increased 16.7
   percent over the comparative period in 1995.  Total shareholders' equity
   also increased $3.3 million during the 12 months ended June 30, 1996 and
   total shareholders' equity, as a percentage of total assets, reached 10.0
   percent.

    Total assets rose 2.7 percent to $424,488,000 as of June 30, 1996.  Net 
   loans increased to $281,660,000 at June 30, 1996.  This represents an
   increase of $11.8 million or 4.4 percent over the net loans at June 30,
   1995.

    During the second quarter, we acknowledged the retirement of Don A. Sanborn 
   after 25 years as a director of Lorain National Bank and 13 years as a 
   director of LNB Bancorp, Inc.  He joins James H. Riddell, who retired last
   fall, as Director Emeritus of Lorain National Bank.  Also during the second
   quarter, we welcomed Robert M. Campana to our board.  Mr. Campana is
   Managing Director of P.C. Campana, Inc. of Lorain.

    In June, we moved our Lorain Plaza customer base into our new Oberlin Avenue
   banking facility and celebrated our opening with a grand prize drawing and 
   gifts for new accounts.  The relocation provides our west-side Lorain   
   customers with an attractive lobby, multi-lane drive-in and automated teller
   banking, all in one convenient location.

    We thank you for your loyalty and continued support and look forward to
   addressing you after the completion of another year of successful operations.


   Sincerely,

   /s/ Stanley G. Pijor                         /s/ J. F. Kidd
