financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been taken from the audited
Financial Statements and condensed.  It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's
December 31, 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.

RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
                       
Because some loans may not be repaid in full, a reserve for possible loan
losses is recorded.  This reserve is increased by provisions charged to
earnings and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. 
Estimating the risk of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.
Accordingly, the reserve is maintained by Management at a level considered

10
adequate to cover possible loan losses that are currently anticipated
based on Management's evaluation of several key factors including
information about specific borrower situations, their financial position
and collateral values, current economic conditions, changes in the mix and
levels of the various types of loans, past charge-off experience and other
pertinent information.  The reserve for possible loan losses is based on
estimates using currently available information, and ultimate losses may
vary from current estimates due to changes in circumstances.  These
estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary,
they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. 
While Management may periodically allocate portions of the reserve for
specific problem situations, the entire reserve is available for any
charge-offs that may occur.  Charge-offs are made against the reserve for
possible loan losses when Management concludes that it is probable that
all or a portion of a loan is uncollectible.  After a loan is charged-off,
collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur.
                          
A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if
it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled
payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement.  The measurement of impaired loans is
generally based on the present value of the expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans initial effective interest rate, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair
value of the collateral.  If the loan valuation is less than the recorded
value of the loan, an impairment reserve must be established for the
difference.  The impairment reserve is established by either an allocation
of the reserve for possible loan losses or by a provision for possible
loan losses, depending upon the adequacy of the reserve for possible loan
losses.

The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" on
January 1, 1998.  This statement requires companies to report all items 
that are recognized as components of comprehensive income under accounting 
standards.  As required, the Corporation displays the accumulated balance
of other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.  The Corporation's comprehensive income for the quarters ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

4. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
              
The Board of Directors adopted a dividend reinvestment and cash stock
purchase plan on November 18, 1997.  Under the plan, the first dividend
reinvestment and cash stock purchase date was April 1, 1998.  The plan
allows shareholders to elect to use their quarterly cash dividends to
purchase shares of LNB Bancorp, Inc. common stock.  Additionally, cash can
be contributed directly to the plan for the purchase of shares of common
stock with a quarterly limit of $5,000.
          
The dividend reinvestment plan authorized the sale of 150,000 shares of
the Corporation's authorized but previously unissued common shares to
shareholders who choose to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends
plus additional cash payments.  No shares were issued by the Corporation
pursuant to the plan in the first quarter of 1999.  In the first quarter
of 1999, stock was purchased in the open market at the then current market
price.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                     
FINANCIAL CONDITION
                             
Total assets of the Corporation increased $18,867,000 during the first   
quarter, to $560,613,000.  Federal funds sold and other interest-bearing
investments decreased by $3,831,000 during the first quarter of 1999.
                   
The total securities portfolio increased $3,745,000 ending the first
quarter at $122,264,000.  At March 31, 1999 unrealized gains (losses)in
the held to maturity securities portfolio were approximately $140,000 and
$(963,000), respectively.  The decrease in the market value of the
security portfolio is due to market interest rate fluctuations and not due
to the deterioration of the credit worthiness of debt issuers.
                          
Net loans increased $25,371,000 during the first quarter to $391,754,000
at March 31, 1999. This increase was a result of strong loan demand in our
market.  Personal and Commercial loan growth was particularly robust,
showing first quarter increases of $11,280,000 and $11,441,000,
respectively.  Mortgage loans increased by $2,650,000 during the first
quarter of 1999.

The reserve for possible loan losses ended the quarter at $3,483,000
supported by a provision for loan losses of $200,000, recoveries of
$70,000 and loan charge-offs of $270,000. The reserve for possible loan
losses as a percentage of ending loans was .88% at March 31, 1999 and .94%
at December 31, 1998. Corporate management believes that the reserve for
possible loan losses as a percentage of ending loans at March 31, 1999
remains at an appropriate level because the ratio of the reserve for
possible loan losses to nonperforming assets improved to 235.2% as of
March 31, 1999. Also, Corporate management believes that the current level
of the reserve for possible loan losses is adequate based upon
quantitative analysis of identified risks and analysis of historical
trends. 

The level of nonperforming assets decreased $1,006,000 during the first
quarter of 1999.  The decrease in nonaccrual loans is due to decreases in
nonaccrual principal balances of $168,000 which have been paid off or
brought current, loans charged-off in the amount of $76,000 and
liquidations of nonaccrual loans of $242,000 and increases in nonaccrual
principal balances of $247,000.  The decrease in nonaccrual loans in the
first quarter of 1999 was due primarily to four commercial loan customers
and six personal loan customers.  The decrease in Other Real Estate Owned
in the amount of $767,000 resulted from liquidation of assets.  The level
of nonperforming assets remains at relatively low levels and Corporate
management believes nonperforming assets are well collateralized.

the last four calendar quarters.

Potential problem loans are those loans identified on management's watch
list in which management has some doubt as to the borrower's ability to
comply with the present repayment terms and loans which management is
actively monitoring due to changes in the borrower's financial condition.
At March 31, 1999, potential problem loans totaled $2,922,000, a decrease
of $19,000 from the December 31, 1998 balance. 
                               
The Corporation's credit policies are reviewed and modified on an ongoing
basis in order to remain suitable for the management of credit risk within 
the loan portfolio as conditions change.  At March 31, 1999 there are no
significant concentrations of credit in the loan portfolio. 
                         
The Corporation had outstanding loan and credit commitments to make loans
totaling $87,614,000 and $76,927,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998,      
respectively. The increase in outstanding loan commitments results in part
from an increase in the unused portion of home equity lines of credits
from home equity loan sale programs during 1998 plus increase in loan
demand during the first quarter of 1999.  Mortgage and commercial
construction loan demand is expected to increase in the second quarter of
1999 as seasonal weather conditions improve and the construction season
begins.  Consumer loan demand is expected to increase in the second
quarter for home improvement and automobile loans as weather conditions
improve.
                                
Total deposits increased $8,998,000 during the first quarter to
$452,846,000.  Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $80,234,000, at
March 31, 1999 for a decrease of $5,324,000, while interest-bearing      
deposits increased to $372,612,000 for an increase of $14,322,000. Federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase      
increased $6,607,000 during the first quarter of 1999.  Due to the      
volatility of customer repurchase agreements, most funds generated by
repurchase activity enter the Corporation's earning assets as short-term
investments.

LIQUIDITY
                           
Liquidity measures a corporation's ability to generate cash or otherwise
obtain funds at reasonable prices to fund commitments to borrowers as well
as the demand of depositors and debt holders.  Principal internal sources
of liquidity for the Corporation and the Bank are cash and cash  
equivalents, Federal funds sold, and the maturity structures of investment
securities and portfolio loans.  Securities and loans available for sale
provide another source of liquidity through the cash flows of these
interest bearing assets as they mature or are sold.
                              
The Corporation continues to maintain a relatively high liquid position in
order to take advantage of interest rate fluctuations.  As of March 31,
1999 short-term security investments with maturities of one year or less
totaled $20,692,000 which represented 16.9% of total securities.  Adding
cash and due from banks of $21,721,000 and Federal Funds sold and other
interest-bearing instruments of $2,793,000, total liquid assets
represented 8.1% of total assets.  The Corporation's subsidiary bank has
established short-term lines of credit at correspondent banks and the
Federal Home Loan Bank in the amount of $37,800,000.
                         
CAPITAL RESOURCES
            
LNB Bancorp, Inc. continues to maintain a strong capital position.
Total shareholders' equity increased to $49,209,000, at March 31, 1999. 
The increase resulted primarily from $1,833,000 of net income generated
from the first quarter of operations less a cash dividend payable to 
shareholders of $907,000.  The slight increase in interest rates     
experienced in the first quarter of 1999 has caused a decrease in the    
overall market value of available for sale securities which resulted in a
reduction of shareholders' equity by $394,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999.  As of March 31, 1999, the LNB Bancorp, Inc. held 100,000
shares of common stock as treasury stock.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. purchased
2,004 of these shares in 1998 and 97,996 shares in 1997 for a total cost
of $2,900,000.
      
The Corporation continues to monitor growth to stay within the constraints
established by the regulatory authorities.  Under Federal banking        
regulations, an institution is deemed to be well-capitalized if it has a
Risk-based Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00 percent or greater, a Risk-based
Total capital ratio of 10.00 percent or greater and a Leverage ratio of
5.00 percent or greater.  The Corporation's Risk-based capital and      
Leverage ratios have exceeded the ratios for a well-capitalized financial
institution for all periods presented.  The Corporation's capital and
leverage ratios as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 follow together with those
ratios required for the Corporation to be considered adequately
capitalized.

On an ongoing basis the Corporation analyzes acquisition opportunities in
markets which are adjacent to or within the Corporation's current 
geographical market. Corporate management believes that it's current
capital resources are sufficient to support any foreseeable acquisition
activity. 
            
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             
Interest and fees on loans increased $740,000 when compared to the first
quarter of 1998. This was the result of the impact of increases in the
loan portfolio of $66,402,000 offset by decreases in rates. Interest and
dividends on securities was $1,765,000 for the first quarter of 1999 for
a decrease of $6,000 over the same period in 1998. The first quarter
decrease in interest and dividends on securities results from a net
increase in the securities portfolio of $3,745,000.  Interest and
dividends on securities represented 18.1% of total interest income at
March 31, 1999 compared to 18.9% at March 31, 1998. Interest on Federal
funds sold and other interest-bearing instruments was $33,000 at March 31,
1999 compared to $60,000 at March 31, 1998. The decrease resulted from
lower average balances invested in this form of financial instrument along
with lower interest rates.
                         
Total interest expense increased by $140,000 when compared to the first
quarter of 1998. The interest expense increase was fueled by an increase
in interest expense from Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the amount of
$258,000, offset by decreases in deposit account interest of $91,000 and
interest on securities sold under repurchase agreements of $27,000.  Also,
total interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 was impacted by
decreases in interest rates paid on savings and certificate of deposit
accounts when compared to the first quarter of 1998. 
                                
Total other income increased by $128,000 when compared to the first
quarter of 1998.  This increase resulted from increases in trust income of
$33,000, increases in service charges of $38,000 and increases in other
service charges, exchanges and fees of $57,000.                      
                                                       
The Corporation continuously monitors noninterest expenses for greater 
profitability.  The entire staff is geared to improving productivity at
all levels.  Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
$5,008,000, 10.6% more than the first quarter of 1998.  This increase was
due primarily to increases in salary expenses, increases in equipment and
vehicle expenses plus the operating expenses of one additional branch
office which was placed in service in June of 1998.
                              
The effective tax rate was 33.2% and 34.0% during the first quarter of
1999 and 1998, respectively.  Net income was $1,833,000 and $1,678,000 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Net income per
basic and diluted share was $.44 and $.41 for the quarters ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
      
4. YEAR 2000 ISSUE
                         
Several of the Corporation's and Bank's regulators including the  
Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Reserve Board, and the Office
of the Comptroller of Currency have issued guidance relative to the      
management and disclosures for year 2000 issues.  A discussion of the year
2000 issue as it relates to the Corporation, the Bank and their customers,
suppliers and vendors follows.
             

17
The Corporation has formed a strategic task force to perform a 
comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify the systems that
could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed an   
implementation plan to resolve the issue.  The Year 2000 problem is the
result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Corporation's programs
that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. 
               
The Corporation expects to incur internal staff costs, consulting, and
other expenses to identify, correct or reprogram, and test the systems
for the year 2000 compliance issue.  The Corporation estimates that      
compliance costs for the year 2000 issue from 1998 through 1999 will not
exceed $250,000.  The Corporation continues to evaluate appropriate
courses of corrective action, including replacement of certain systems
whose associated costs would be recorded as assets and amortized.
Accordingly, the Corporation does not expect that year 2000 compliance
costs to be expensed over the next two years to have a material effect
on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
           
To date, the Corporation is in the process of obtaining formal 
notifications from all of its major vendors and suppliers that their
systems are year 2000 compliant.  During 1998, the Corporation developed
strategies and plans to test and validate that these systems are year 2000
compliant.  The Corporation has completed successful upgrades, testing and
validation of internal mission critical systems and they are Y2K
compliant.  The Corporation's customer awareness program includes
providing: seminars to the business and non-profit entities, Year 2000
information on statements and maintaining a telephone number for customer
inquiries.  The Corporation provides quarterly updates to the Board of
Directors regarding the status of the year 2000 issue.  The project
completion date for the year 2000 issue is slated for June, 1999.
            
Financial institutions may experience increases in problem loans and
credit losses in the event that borrowers fail to properly respond to the
"Year 2000" issue.  Cost of funds may become greater, if customers react
to publicity about this issue by withdrawing deposits.  Accordingly, the
Corporation has formed an internal task force to assess potential problems
relating to credit, liquidity, and third party risk, and where
appropriate, develop contingency plans.  This task force is conducting a
survey of significant credit and deposit relationships to determine their
"Year 2000" readiness and to evaluate the potential of credit and
liquidity risk to the Corporation.  Also, the "Year 2000" issue creates
risk for the Corporation from unforseen problems in its own computer
systems and from third parties' with whom the Corporation deals on
financial transactions.  Such failures of the Corporation, and/or third
parties' computer systems could have a material impact on the
Corporation's ability to conduct its business, and especially to process
and account for the transfer of funds electronically.

Based upon testing of mission critical hardware and software, the
Corporation does not anticipate that it will have to rely on a contingency
plan relating to these areas.  However, the Corporation is in the process
of developing a contingency plan that would cover the failure of mission
critical hardware and software.  The contingency plan is also being
developed to cover Y2K failure(s) that might result from a failure(s)
outside of the control of the Corporation; such as a utility company
failure.  The Corporation's contingency plan for Y2K failure of its core
processing systems will be to handle and process customer transactions

18
manually until the system failure is corrected.  In the most reasonably
likely worst case scenario where any of the corporation's mission critical
systems, either internal or external, would fail, the Corporation will be
operating in a manual mode.  In preparation for the unlikely event of the
most reasonably likely worst case scenario, the Corporation is in the
process of planning and training all of its' employees and will have all
customer records backed up to ensure the accuracy of our customer records.
                              
IMPACTS OF ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS
                            
Corporate management is not aware of any current recommendations by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board or by regulatory authorities which,
if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the liquidity,
capital resources or operations of the Corporation.

PART I - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
    
Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from
adverse changes in market indices such as interest rates, foreign exchange
rates and equity prices.  The Corporation's principal market risk exposure
is interest rate risk, with no material impact on earnings from changes in
foreign exchange rates or equity prices.  There have been no material
changes in the asset and liability mix of the Corporation since December
31, 1998, which would impact the Corporation's level of market risk.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in market interest rates. 
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest
rates and net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of
assets and liabilities.  The Corporation monitors the interest rate
sensitivity of its on - and - off balance sheet positions by examining its
near-term sensitivity and its longer term gap position.  Corporate
management has determined no significant changes in the Corporation's
interest rate risk profile since December 31, 1998.

Message to Shareholders
                       
  It's a pleasure, once again, to report on the progress of LNB Bancorp,
Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Lorain National Bank, after the
first quarter of 1999.
  We are pleased to announce that earnings have increased 9% for the first
quarter of the year, compared to the same period one year ago.  Earnings
for the first quarter of 1999 reached $1,833,000, up from $1,678,000
during the first quarter of 1998. 
  Basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 1999, reached $.44
compared to $.41 for the first quarter of 1998.  Earnings for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1999 were higher than a year ago because of higher
net interest income and other noninterest income, offset in part by higher
operating expenses.  Increases in net interest income were fueled by
robust loan growth.
  Total assets rose 14% to $560.6 million, as of March 31, 1999 up $70.7
million from March 31, 1998.  Net loans grew by $66.4 million from one
year ago to $391.8 million at March 31, 1999, for a 20% increase. 
Consumer loan growth was strong accounting for 67% of total loan growth
while commercial and mortgage loans accounted for 20% and 13% of total
loan growth during the twelve months ended March 31, 1999.  Total deposits
climbed over 9% to $452.9 million, up $40.3 million from one year ago. 
Increases in demand, savings and certificates of deposit accounted for the
deposit increase.  Lorain National Bank operates 21 retail branches and 26
ATMs in nine local communities.
  Cash dividends declared per share for the first quarter of 1999
increased by 10% compared to the first quarter of 1998. The first quarter
cash dividends per share increased by $.02 to $.22 per share, up from $.20
per share in 1998.  Total shareholders' equity increased by $3.4 million
to $49.2 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 1999.
  The relocation of our Second Street Branch Office to Ely Square is on
schedule for opening during the second quarter of this year.  Lorain
National Bank is reconfiguring the Ely Square office floor space to
accommodate the delivery of Commercial Lending, Trust & Investment
Management and retail banking services.  We look forward to being open six
days a week in the heart of Elyria to deliver superior service to our new
and existing customers. 
  We thank you for your continued support and look forward to addressing
you after the completion of our second quarter of operations.
