        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Killbuck
Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Killbuck
Savings Bank Company (the "Bank").  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do
not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited
financial statements.  The information furnished reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results of operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other
interim period.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are calculated based upon the weighted number of shares of
stock outstanding during the period.  In February, 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  Statement No. 128 replaced the
previous reporting requirement of primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share.  The Company maintains a simple
capital structure, therefore, there is no dilutive effect on earning per
share.

NOTE 3 - STOCK SPLIT

On April 13, 1998 the board of directors authorized an increase in the
authorized common shares from 200,000 to 1,000,000 shares and also authorized
a 5 for 1 stock split of common stock to shareholders of record on May 1,1998. 
Per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted
for the split.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  In adopting Statement No.
130, the Company is required to present comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  The Company
has elected to report the effects of Statement No. 130 as part of the
Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

NOTE 5 - PLAN OF MERGER

On April 13, 1998, Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. (Killbuck) and The Commercial and
Savings Bank Co. (Commercial) of Danville, Ohio, executed an agreement and
plan of reorganization to merge subject to shareholder and regulatory
approval.  Under the terms of the agreement, all outstanding shares of
Commercial will be exchanged for 2.1585 shares of Killbuck.  This exchange
ratio of 2.1585 is adjusted for Killbuck's five for one stock split on May 1,
1998.  All regulatory approvals have been received and the vote by
Commercial's shareholders on the merger is scheduled for November 19, 1998,
with a merger effective date of November 21, 1998 scheduled.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997

Total assets at September 30, 1998, increased by approximately $14,488,000 or
7.3% for the first nine months of 1998.

Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $10,566,000 or 72.4% from
December 31, 1997, to September 30, 1998, with liquid funds held in the form
of federal funds sold increasing $10,400,000.  The increase in federal funds
is due to a slowdown in loan growth and the current investment interest rate
environment.

Investment securities increased slightly by approximately $1,529,000 or 2.6%
from December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998.  The composition changed
slightly with securities available for sale decreasing by approximately
$1,738,000 due to maturities and securities held to maturity increasing by
approximately $3,266,000.  Management classified new purchases as held to
maturity based upon their intent and ability to hold these securities.

The loan portfolio increased by approximately $2,226,000 or 1.8% from December
31, 1997, to September 30, 1998.  Each major loan category of mortgages,
commercial and consumer increased for the first nine months of 1998 by
approximately $1,462,000, $523,000 and $241,000 respectively.

Total deposits increased by approximately $11,291,000 or 6.9% for the first
nine months of 1998.  Savings deposits increased by approximately $1,765,000
or 9.1%.  Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by approximately
$1,570,000 or 4.2%, and time deposits increased by approximately $11,267,000
or 13.2%.  Management attributes this decrease/increase to current depositors
transferring deposits from interest bearing demand accounts to time accounts
and new customers opening time deposit accounts due to the current competitive
rates being offered by the Bank.

Shareholders' Equity increased by approximately $2,115,000 or 9.5%, which was
mainly due to earnings of $2,257,000 for the first nine months of 1998 reduced
by the cash dividends paid in June, 1998 of $331,000, and an increase in the
net unrealized gain on securities of $189,000.  Management monitors risk-based
capital and leveraged capital ratios in order to assess compliance of the
regulatory guidelines.  At September 30, 1998, the total capital ratio was
20.81%; the Tier I capital ratio was 18.78%, and the leverage ratio was
11.34%, compared to regulatory capital requirements of 8%, 4% and 4%
respectively.  These ratios are well in excess of regulatory capital
requirements.

The Bank has purchased land in Sugarcreek, Ohio for the purpose of building a
branch facility.  A branch application for Sugarcreek, Ohio has been filed
with the proper regulatory agencies.  The bank anticipates construction to
begin in the spring of 1999 with completion anticipated in the fall of 1999.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1998 AND 1997

Total interest income of approximately $11,867,000 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $11,303,000 for the same
period in 1997, an increase of $564,000 or 5.0%.  Federal fund interest income
increased $176,000 while investment income decreased $52,000.  The majority of
the overall increase in total interest income is attributed to an increase in
interest and fees on loans of approximately $440,000 or 78.0% of the overall
increase. The daily average balances of loans outstanding for the nine month
periods of 1998 and 1997 respectively were $124,919,000 and $119,221,000, an
increase of approximately $5,698,000.

Total interest expense of approximately $5,808,000 for the nine month period
ending September 30, 1998, represents an increase of $354,000 from the
approximately $5,454,000 reported for the same nine month period in 1997.  The
increase in interest expense on deposits is approximately $173,000.  The daily
average balances of interest bearing demand deposits for the nine month period
of 1998 and 1997, respectively, were $36,694,000 and $36,727,000, a decrease
of approximately $33,000.  The daily average balances of savings accounts for
the nine month period of 1998 and 1997, respectively, were $19,784,000 and
$19,477,000, an increase of $307,000.  The daily average balances of time
deposits for the nine month periods of 1998 and 1997, respectively, were
$90,897,000 and $88,256,000 an increase of approximately $2,641,000.  The
interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by approximately
$142,000.  The daily average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank advances
outstanding for the nine month periods of 1998 and 1997, respectively, were
$9,179,000 and $6,329,000, an increase of approximately $2,850,000.  The
interest expense on securities sold under repurchase agreements increased by
approximately $39,000.  The daily average balances of securities sold under
repurchase agreements outstanding for the nine month periods of 1998 and 1997,
respectively, were $2,492,000 and $784,000, an increase of approximately
$1,708,000.

Net interest income of approximately $6,059,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $5,850,000 for the same nine
month period in 1997, an increase of $209,000 or 3.6%.

Total other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, of
approximately $406,000 compares to approximately $327,000 for the same nine
month period in 1997, an increase of $79,000 or 24.2%.  Income from the
alternative investment service the Bank introduced in 1997 accounted for
$20,300 or 25.7% of this increase.  The Bank also started to sell fixed rate
loans in the secondary market in 1997.  The gains from the sale of fixed rate
loans in the secondary market accounted for $25,000 or 31.6% of this increase
with the remaining increase attributed to normal activity.

Total other expense of approximately $3,336,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $3,042,000 for the same nine
month period in 1997.  This represents an increase of $294,000 or 9.7%.  Net
increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of approximately $125,000,
professional fees of $37,000 and other expenses of approximately $88,000 were
the major contributors to the overall net increase.  The increase in salary
and employee benefits is attributed to normal annual salary increases, staff
additions and increased hospitalization premiums and pension costs.  The
increase in professional fees is mainly attributed to costs of becoming a
securities and exchange registrant.  The increase in other expenses were
brought about by merger expenses and those items that are generally thought to
be normal and recurring in nature.  Net income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998, was approximately $2,257,000, an increase of $73,000 or
3.3% from the approximately $2,184,000 reported at September 30, 1997.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1998 AND 1997.

Total interest income of approximately $4,074,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $3,884,000 for the same
period in 1997, an increase of $190,000 or 4.9%.  Interest and fees on loans
and interest on federal funds sold increased respectively approximately
$72,000 and $119,000 due mainly to an increase in the balances outstanding. 
These increases were offset by a slight decrease in investment income of
approximately $1,000.

Total interest expense of approximately $2,027,000 for the three month period
ending September 30, 1998, represents an increase of $120,000 from the
approximately $1,907,000 reported for the same three month period in 1997. 
The majority of the overall increase is attributed to an increase in interest
expense on deposits of approximately $78,000 or 65.0% of the overall increase. 
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances and securities sold under
repurchase agreements increased approximately $36,000 and $6,000 respectively. 
These increases are attributed mainly to an increase in the balances
outstanding.

Net interest income of approximately $2,047,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $1,977,000 for the same three
month period in 1997, an increase of $70,000 or 3.5%.

Total other income for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, of
approximately $133,000 compares to approximately $112,000 for the same three
month period in 1997, an increase of $21,000 or 18.8%.  Gains from the sale of
fixed rate loans in the secondary market which the Bank started in 1997
accounted for $6,000 or 28.6% of this increase with the remaining increase
attributed to normal activity.

Total other expense of approximately $1,132,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, compares to approximately $1,059,000 for the same three
month period in 1997.  This represents and increase of $73,000 or 6.9%.  Net
increases in franchise tax of approximately $8,000 and other expenses of
$66,000 were major contributors to the overall net increases.  The increase in
other expenses were brought about by merger expenses and those items that are
generally thought to be normal and recurring in nature.  Net income for the
three month period ended September 30, 1998 was approximately $748,000, an
increase of $29,000 or 4.0% from the approximately $719,000 reported for the
same three month period in 1997.

LIQUIDITY

Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level
desirable based in part on the Bank's commitments to make loans and
management's assessment of the Bank's ability to generate funds.

The primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans, maturities of
investments, funds provided from operations and advances from the FHLB of
Cincinnati.  While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of investment
securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments
are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.  The Bank uses its sources of funds to fund
existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing time deposits and
demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to
maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $25,167,000 at September 30, 1998, an
increase of $10,566,000 from $14,601,000 at December 31,1997.  These assets
provide the primary source of liquidity for the Bank.  In addition, management
has designated a substantial portion of the investment portfolio,
approximately $33,341,000 as available for sale and has an available line of
credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati with a borrowing limit of
$8,000,000 at September 30, 1998, to provide additional sources of liquidity.

Cash was provided during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998,
mainly from operating activities of $2,406,000, a net increase in deposits of
$11,291,000 and a net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $832,000. 
Cash was used during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, mainly to
fund a net increase in loans of $2,261,000 and investments of $1,244,000.

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory
recommendations or requirements, which would adversely affect its liquidity or
ability to meet its funding needs in the normal course of business.

RISK ELEMENTS

The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including
nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more past due, other
real estate loans and repossessed assets at September 30, 1998, and December
31, 1997.  A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of
management, there are doubts about collectability of interest and principal. 
At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is
recognized only when cash is received.  Renegotiated loans are those loans
which terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of
principal or interest as of result of the deterioration of the borrower.

Management monitors impaired loans on a continual basis.  As of September 30,
1998, impaired loans had no material effect on the Bank's financial position
or results of operations.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998, totaled approximately
$1,845,000 or 1.49% of total loans as compared to $1,745,000 or 1.43% at
December 31, 1997.  Provisions for loan losses were $135,000 for both nine
month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. 
The evaluation incorporates internal loan review, actual historical losses, as
well as any negative economic trends in the local market.  The evaluation is
presented to and approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank.  Management,
through the use of the quarterly evaluation, believes that the allowance is
maintained at an adequate level.  However, there can be no assurance that the
current allowance for loans losses will be adequate to absorb all future loan
losses.

YEAR 2000 EVALUATION

Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the Bank's operations. 
Many computer programs can only distinguish the final two digits of the year
entered (a common programming practice in prior years) are expected to read
entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 or as zero and incorrectly attempt
to compute payment, interest, delinquency and other data.  The Bank has been
evaluating both information technology (computer systems) and non-information
technology systems (e.q. vault timers, electronic door lock and elevator
controls).  Based upon such evaluations, management has determined that the
Bank has year 2000 risk in three areas:  (1) Bank's own computer and software,
(2) computers of others used by the Bank's borrowers, and (3) computers of
others who provide the Bank with processing of certain services.

BANK'S OWN COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE.  The Bank expects to spend approximately
$65,000 through December 31, 1998 to upgrade its computer system and software. 
This upgrade is expected to eliminate the year 2000 risk.  The Bank does not
expect to have material costs to address this risk after December 31, 1998. 
At September 30, 1998 approximately $40,000 has been expensed.  The Bank
expects, though there is no assurance, to be year 2000 compliant in this risk
area by December 31, 1998.  However, if such modifications are not made or
completed on a timely basis, the year 2000 issue could have a material impact
on the operations of the Bank.

COMPUTERS OF OTHERS USED BY OUR BORROWERS.  The Bank has evaluated most of
their borrowers and does not believe the year 2000 problem should, on an
aggregate basis, impact their ability to make payments to the Bank.  The Bank
believes that most of their residential borrowers are not dependent on their
home computers for income and that none of their commercial borrowers are so
large that a year 2000 problem would render them unable to collect revenue or
rent and, in turn, continue to make loan payments to the Bank.  The Bank does
not expect any material costs to address this risk area and believes they are
year 2000 compliant in this risk area.

COMPUTERS OF OTHERS WHO PROVIDE US WITH PROCESSING OF CERTAIN SERVICES.  This
risk is primarily focused on vendors that provide the Bank processing
servicing in the areas of credit cards, individual retirement accounts and
automatic teller machine transactions.  All of these vendors have represented
to the Bank that they are year 2000 compliant.

CONTINGENCY PLAN.  The Bank has continually monitored its year 2000 situation
by thoroughly assessing its systems and programs.  Although the Bank
anticipates its systems and programs to be year 2000 compliant by December 31,
1998, a contingency plan agreement with Bankers Systems has been executed. 
This agreement includes a provision for supplying the Bank with forms
necessary for day-to-day operations, should the computer based loan and
deposit documentation systems fail.
