These interim financial statements are prepared 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 CSB at
March 31, 1997, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not contain
all financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances.  The Annual Report for
CSB for the year ended December 31, 1996, contains consolidated financial
statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  Allowances for losses on impaired loans are
determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted using the loan's effective interest yield.  Allowances for losses
on impaired loans that are collateral dependent are generally determined based
on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.  A loan is impaired
when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total.  Such
loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family
residences, residential construction loans and automobile, home equity and
second mortgage loans.  Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other
properties are evaluated individually for impairment.  When analysis of
borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying
cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt
service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment.  Often this is
associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more.  Loans
are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due.  These
loans are often also considered impaired.  Impaired loans, or portions
thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.  The nature of disclosures
for impaired loans is considered generally comparable to prior nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans and nonperforming and past due asset disclosures.

The carrying value of impaired loans is periodically adjusted to reflect cash
payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present
value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time.  Cash payments
representing interest income are reported as such and other cash payments are
reported as reductions in carrying value.  Increases or decreases in carrying
value due to changes in estimates of future payments or the passage of time
are reported as reductions or increases in bad debt expense.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounting Pronouncements:  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities", revises accounting treatment for transfers of
financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between
sales and secured borrowings.  SFAS No. 125 did not materially impact the
Company's financial statements for the first quarter of 1997.

SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is effective for financial statements
issued after December 15, 1997, and simplifies the calculation of earnings per
share (EPS) by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS.   SFAS No. 128 will not
impact the Company's EPS calculations.

Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes is based upon the effective
income tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year.

One agency security of $1,000,000 was transferred from the available for sale
category to held to maturity during the first quarter of 1996.  The transfer
into held to maturity occurred at the fair value of the security on the date
of the transfer, which approximated amortized cost.

There were no sales of investment securities during the first three months of
1997 or 1996.  Losses on calls of securities held to maturity were $1,694
during the three months ended March 31, 1996.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments in debt securities
at March 31, 1997, by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Actual
maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers
may have the right to call or prepay the debt obligations prior to their
contractual maturities.

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

At March 31, 1997, the Bank had 188 outstanding borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  These borrowings carry fixed interest rates ranging
from 5.60% to 7.15% and maturities of 10, 15, and 20 years.  Monthly principal
and interest payments are due on the borrowings.  In addition, a principal
curtailment of 10% of the outstanding principal balance is due on the
anniversary date of each borrowing.  FHLB borrowings are collateralized by the
Company's FHLB stock and a blanket pledge on $19,078,000 of qualifying
mortgage loans at March 31, 1997.


NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank grants residential, consumer, and commercial loans to customers
located primarily in Holmes and surrounding counties in Ohio.  Most loans are
secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer
assets and residences.

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers.  The
contract amount of these instruments are not included in the consolidated
financial statements.  At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the contract
amount of these instruments, which primarily include commitments to extend
credit and unused credit lines, totaled approximately $28,796,000 and
$30,111,000 respectively, substantially all of which carry adjustable rates of
interest.  Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the
amount does not represent future cash commitments.  

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party
to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and lines and
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments.  CSB follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as
is followed for those loans recorded in the financial statements.  In
management's opinion, these commitments represent normal banking transactions
and no material losses are expected to result therefrom.  Collateral obtained
upon exercise of the commitments is determined using management's credit
evaluations of the borrower and may include real estate and/or business or
consumer assets.

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


CSB BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM II - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of
CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) at March 31, 1997, compared to December 31,
1996, and the consolidated results of operations for the quarterly period
ending March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  The purpose of
this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of
the consolidated financial statements.  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related
footnotes. 

Forward-looking statements contained in this discussion involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors. 
Actual results could differ from those expressed or implied.  The registrant
is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital
resources or operations except as discussed herein.  Also, the Registrant is
not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would
have such effect if implemented.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $265.7 million at March 31, 1997, compared to $254.1 million
at December 31, 1996, representing a increase of $11.6 million or 4.6%.  Total
securities increased approximately $22.2 million during the quarter as a
result of deposit growth and loan sales, as discussed below. Most of the
securities purchased were short-term U.S. Treasury notes and obligations of
U.S. Government corporations and agencies.  Since one of the primary functions
of the securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity, it is
structured such that security maturities and cash flows satisfy the Company's
liquidity needs and asset-liability management requirements.  At March 31,
1997, approximately 27% of the securities portfolio matures within one year.

Commercial loans increased $4,824,000, or 6.6%, during the quarter.  This
increase was primarily a result of increased loan demand in our service area
as the local economy remains strong.  In late 1995, the Company began to
originate fixed rate one- to four- family mortgage loans, utilizing a matched
funds program using FHLB advances of similar maturity to establish an interest
rate spread for the estimated duration of the loans.  During the first quarter
of 1997, management elected to sell approximately $11 million of fixed rate
loans.  A gain of $220,000 was realized on the sale.  The funds were invested
in short term U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities.  The Bank
retained its fixed-rate borrowings to facilitate future fixed rate lending. 
Management will continue to originate fixed rate loans, but does not
anticipate new borrowings will be necessary to fund such originations.  At
March 31, 1997, there were no loans held for sale.  Exclusive of this sale,
loans increased approximately $7.3 million or 4.4% during the quarter.

As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.35% at March 31,
1997 and 1.28% at December 31, 1996.  Loans past due more than 90 days and
loans placed on nonaccrual status, were approximately $1,190,000, or .74% of
total loans at March 31, 1997, compared to $747,000, or .45% of loans at
December 31, 1996.  These credits are considered in management's analysis of
the allowance for loan losses.

The Company made minor investments in premises and equipment during the first
quarter of 1997.  However. the Company has contracted to purchase a tract of
land with the intent to construct another branch office in Wayne County in
late 1997.  The Company has also acquired $120,000 of land in 1995 to build 
an operation center in 1998.  Beyond these land purchases, no commitments have
been entered into relative to these projects.

At March 31, 1997, the ratio of loans to deposits was 72.6%, compared to 77.4%
at the end of 1996 as total deposits increased approximately $9.8 million, or
4.6%, during the first three months on 1997.  Historically, the Bank has
experienced a decline in overall deposit balances during the first quarter of
the year.  However, in 1997 the Bank received approximately $8.0 million of
deposits as a result of a successful bond issue for a local school district. 
These funds are in a savings account that is expected to deplete gradually
over the next two years.

Total shareholders' equity was increased in part by year-to-date net income of
$1.2 million, less $220,000 of cash dividends declared.  The cash dividend
represents 20.0% of net income for the first quarter of 1997.  Also
contributing to capital was the dividend reinvestment program and the purchase
of stock by the Company's 401(k) retirement plan.  As a result of these
programs, equity increased approximately $223,000 during the first quarter of
1997.  

The Company and its subsidiary meet all regulatory capital requirements at
March 31, 1997.  The Company's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
was 16.73% at March 31, 1997, while Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was
15.48%.  Regulatory minimums call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%,
at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital.  The Company's leverage
ratio was 9.25% at March 31, 1997, which exceeds the regulatory minimum of 3%
to 5%.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 1997 was $1,175,000, or $0.91 per
share, as compared to $964,000, or $0.75 per share earned during the same
period last year, an increase of $211,000, or 21.9%.  The primary factors
contributing to this increase were increases in net interest income and other
income.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $2,715,000, a
3.4% increase from the first quarter of 1996.  Interest and fees on loans
increased $106,000, or 2.7%, which resulted primarily from a higher rate
environment and somewhat from a higher volume of loans as the loan sale was
not consummated until late March 1997.  Also, as deposit funds were invested
in securities and federal funds sold, interest on securities increased $92,000
and other interest income increased $220,000 for the first quarter of 1997,
compared to the first quarter of 1996.  Management anticipates using these
liquid funds, primarily from federal funds sold and maturities of short-term
investments, to fund higher yielding loans.  

Interest expense increased $331,000, to $2.5 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 
This increase was the result of increased volumes on interest-bearing accounts
and slightly higher rates.  Included in this increase was an increase of
$154,000 in other interest expense, resulting from new borrowings from FHLB. 
The impact of an increasing interest rate environment should impact the
Company's interest expense to a lesser extent in 1997 compared to 1996 due to
the fixed rate long-term leverage provided by the borrowings.

The provision for loan losses was $102,000 during the first quarter of 1997,
which was near the $100,000 provision in the first quarter of 1996.  This
provision was made in recognition of continued loan origination volume,
primarily in the commercial loan portfolio which typically carries a higher
risk of loan loss.

Other income increased approximately $230,000 primarily as a  result of the
gain on the sale of loans discussed above and increased deposit service charge
income.

Other expenses increased only $77,000, or 5.4%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996, as management continues
to monitor the Bank's efficiency ratio by maintaining increases in other
operating costs at low levels.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by
$17,000 or 2.4%, and state franchise taxes increased $17,000 or 26.1% as a
result of earnings retention in 1996.  Ohio's state franchise tax for
financial institutions is based on the level of capital at the previous 
year-end.  The $53,000, or 12.2%, increase in other operating expenses from the
previous year resulted from small increases in a number of areas.  The
provision for income taxes of $424,000 during the first quarter of 1997
reflected an effective rate of 26.5%, which is slightly below 29.0%, the rate
in the first quarter of 1996.
