INDUSTRIAL BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      These interim financial statements are presented in accordance
with the SEC's rules for quarterly financial information without
audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position
of Industrial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Industrial Savings and Loan Association (the
"Association"), at September 30, 1996 and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such adjustments are
normal and recurring in nature.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying condensed financial statements do not purport to
contain all the necessary disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in
the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements included in the 1995 Annual Report of
Industrial Bancorp, Inc.  The results of the nine months presented
are not necessarily representative of the results of operations and
cash flows which may be expected for the entire year.

      In accordance with the AICPA's Statement of Position 93-6,
"Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," the
Company recorded ESOP expense of $1.5 million with regard to the
Company's $3.50 return of capital.  The expense was offset,
however, by a corresponding increase to shareholders' equity.


EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Earnings per common share have been computed based on 5,138,568
and 5,127,345 weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, and 5,110,890 weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period from the conversion to stock
form on August 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995.  Employee Stock
Ownership Plan shares that have been released, or committed to be
released, to participants are considered outstanding for earnings
per share purposes.


COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      Outstanding commitments to originate loans were $5.9 million as
of September 30, 1996.

      During the third quarter of 1996, the Company announced its
intent to repurchase 277,725, or 5%, of its outstanding common
shares over a period of twelve months.  On October 28, 1996, the
Company received approval of its buyback plan from the Office of
Thrift Supervision.


SAIF RECAPITALIZATION

      During the third quarter of 1996, Congress enacted legislation
to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).
Accordingly, each institution with SAIF-insured deposits must
pay a special FDIC assessment of 65.7 basis points of SAIF-insured
deposits held at March 31, 1995.  As a result of the special
assessment, a pre-tax expense of $1.5 million was recorded by the
Company on September 30, 1996 and is payable November 27, 1996.

      In connection with the recapitalization, it is anticipated that
the FDIC will refund a portion of the fourth quarter premium equal
to five basis points of SAIF-insured deposits.  The refund for the
Association's fourth quarter premium assessment is estimated to be
$31,000.  The legislation also provides for reduced premium rates
beginning in 1997.  The Association paid $552,000 of regular SAIF
assessments during 1996, based upon an assessment rate of 23 basis
points per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits.  It is anticipated that
the Association will pay $165,000 in regular SAIF assessments in
1997, based upon a estimated assessment rate of 6.4 basis points
per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
(Unaudited)


Financial Condition
- -------------------

      Total assets decreased $2.6 million to $320.4 million at
September 30, 1996 from $323.0 million at December 31, 1995.  Cash
and cash equivalents decreased from $26.7 million at December 31,
1995 to $6.5 million at September 30, 1996, primarily as a result
of the $19.4 million return of capital distribution.  Liquidity,
6.7% at September 30, 1996, was in excess of the regulatory
requirement.

      Growth in net loans receivable during the first nine months of
1996 amounted to $18.2 million.  In addition, the undisbursed
portion of construction loans totalled $9.8 million at September
30, 1996.  Loan growth was funded primarily by deposits, which
increased $16.2 million, from $238.3 million at yearend 1995 to
$254.5 million at September 30, 1996.  The Company intends,
however, to fund any continued loan demand in excess of deposit
growth with advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

      Total shareholders' equity decreased to $60.6 million at
September 30, 1996 from $81.1 million at December 31, 1995, as a
result of several factors.  A return of capital distribution of
$3.50 per share reduced shareholders' equity by $19.4 million.
Shareholders' equity was also reduced by $2.6 million as a result
of the purchase of shares by the Company's Management Recognition
Plan.  These reductions were partially offset by $1.0 million of
net income for the first nine months of 1996 and the third quarter
increase to surplus of $1.5 million related to the impact of the
return of capital upon unallocated ESOP shares.

      The Association is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision
to maintain certain minimum levels of tangible, core and risk-based
capital.  The following table presents the Association's regulatory
capital position at September 30, 1996:



                             Tangible              Core              Risk-Based

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      Accounting for two significant events during the third quarter
caused the Company to record a net loss of $1.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to net income of
$1.2 million for the same period in 1995.  The SAIF special
assessment amounted to a pre-tax $1.5 million expense for the
Association during the third quarter of 1996.  Also during the
third quarter of 1996, the Association recorded $1.5 million of
expense, in accordance with accounting guidance, relative to the
$3.50 per share return of capital on unallocated ESOP shares.  As
this expense was offset by an increase in shareholders' equity,
there was no net tax effect associated with this transaction.

      Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$1.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 1995.
Net interest income increased $142,000 and $2.0 million for the
third quarter and for the first nine months of 1996, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1995, as a result of larger loan
and investment securities portfolios and the absence of interest on
Federal Home Loan Bank advances utilized earlier in 1995.

      Total interest income was $299,000 and $2.3 million more for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
than for the same periods in 1995.  These increases were primarily
a result of the increased average balances in loans and investment
securities and an increased weighted average yield as a result of
higher interest rates.

      Total interest expense was $157,000 and $262,000 more for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
than for the same periods in 1995.  Increases due to marginally
higher deposit rates paid on increased average interest-bearing
deposit balances were offset by the absence in 1996 of FHLB
advances, which had been used to fund excess loan demand during the
first half of 1995.

      The provision for loan losses was $45,000 and $135,000 for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, based upon management's assessment of reasonably
foreseeable losses inherent in the portfolio for each period.

      Noninterest expense was $3.4 million and $4.1 million more for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively,
than for same periods in 1995, primarily as a result of the $3.0
million related to the FDIC special assessment and additional ESOP
expense which resulted from the payment of the capital distribution
on unallocated ESOP shares.  Salaries and employee benefits expense
was significantly greater in 1996 than during comparable periods in
1995 due to the $1.5 million of additional ESOP expense related to
the capital distribution.  Also included in salaries and employee
benefits expense during the first nine months of 1996 was $201,000
related to the termination of the Association's defined benefit
pension plan.  Federal deposit insurance premiums were also
significantly greater in 1996 than in 1995 due to the $1.5 million
special assessment.
