PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- - ------------------------------

     Unaudited consolidated condensed Balance Sheets at September 30,
1994 and December 31, 1993, Consolidated Statements of Income,
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1994 and 1993 are set forth on the following pages.  All previously
presented financial information has been restated to include First
Fidelity Bancorp, Inc.  For further information see Footnote 5.  In the
opinion of management of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial information referred to above for such periods, have been made. 
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
are not necessarily indicative of what results will be for the entire
year.  For further information, refer to the Annual Report to
Shareholders which includes consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto and WesBanco, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993.
     Earnings per share was computed by dividing net income, less
preferred stock dividends and accretion, by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  Preferred stock
dividends are cumulative and are payable quarterly at an annual rate of
$15.20 per share.  Conversion of the preferred stock to common stock, in
accordance with the conversion requirements, would increase outstanding
common shares by approximately 113,443 shares.  The fully dilutive effect
of preferred stock is less than 3%.

     As of January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted FAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities."  Prior to the
adoption of FAS No. 115, management's classification of investments
available for sale included: U.S. Treasury and Agencies debt securities with
a call or maturity of one year or less, corporate securities and marketable
equity securities.  With the adoption of FAS No. 115, management has changed
its classification of investment securities available for sale to include
Treasury and Agencies purchased with final maturities extending beyond three
years, corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities and marketable
equity securities.  The market value adjustment as of January 1, 1994,
increased investments by $5,259 and increased shareholders' equity by $3,182
after the tax effect of $2,077.  The effect of the net market value
adjustment as of September 30, 1994 was to decrease investments by $3,523
and decrease shareholders' equity by $2,154 after the tax effect of $1,369. 
The effect of the market value adjustment between January 1, 1994 and
September 30, 1994 was a net decrease in investment securities of $8,782 and
a related after tax effect on shareholders' equity of $5,336.  Certain

December 31, 1993.  The majority of the decline was due to the market value
adjustment of $(3,523) in investments categorized as available for sale at
September 30, 1994.
     Net loans increased $4,593 between September 30, 1994 and December 31,
1993.  The loan growth can be attributed to an increase in real estate loans
of approximately $11,309.  This increase was largely due to consumers
refinancing homes to take advantage of lower interest rates while lower
rates continued during 1994.  Commercial loans declined by approximately
$6,632 during the same time period primarily due to a write down
approximating $4,000 on a collateralized commercial loan which encountered
financial problems along with a reclassification of the remaining balance
into other assets and the lack of loan demand.  Installment loans increased
$1,349 between September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993.
     Total deposits declined $1,137 between September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993.  The lack of growth in the deposit area is due to the
general economic conditions and competition from nonbank products.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Summary
- - ----------------
     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $11,408 or
$1.31 per share, compared to $13,866 or $1.59 per share for the same time
period in 1993.  The decrease in net income was due to the increase in the
provision for possible loan losses for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 as compared to 1993.
     During the third quarter 1994, the Corporation recognized a write down
approximating $4,000 on a collateralized commercial loan which encountered
financial problems.  The write down represents management's best estimate 
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11

of the loss exposure, based on information available at this time, after an
exhaustive review of the financial status of the borrower.  The after-tax
effect on net income was approximately $2,469.
     Net income performance for the trailing twelve months ended
September 30, 1994, including the write down, reflected a return on average
assets of 1.14%, and a return on average equity of 9.79%.  The return on
average assets and return on average equity for the trailing twelve-month
period ending September 30, 1993, were 1.36% and 11.91% respectively.  Book
value per share was $18.41 at September 30, 1994, compared to $17.96 at
September 30, 1993.  The capital to asset ratio as of September 30, 1994,
was 12.42% and the loan loss reserve to gross loans outstanding was 1.61%. 
Exclusive of the write down, net income for the nine months ending September
30, 1994, would have been level with net income reported at September 30,
1993.
     Current period loan and deposit interest rates are generally above
levels noted in the previous comparative period.  During the first nine
months of 1994, most banks' primary lending rate was between 6.0% and 7.75%
and that rate for the first nine months of 1993 approximated 6.0%.  In spite
of increasing rates, continued repricing of assets, primarily investment
securities, which had yields above these levels caused the average yield on
WesBanco's interest earning assets to decrease to 7.3% during the first nine
months of 1994 from 7.7% during the first nine months of 1993.  Decreases
in deposit rates implemented during 1993 for interest bearing liabilities
caused a decrease in average rates paid to 3.4% during the first nine months
of 1994 from 3.8% during the first nine months of 1993.  Net tax equivalent
interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets remained
the same at 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.

Interest Income
- - ---------------
     Total interest income decreased $3,568 or 5% between the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Interest and fees on loans
decreased $1,487 or 3% primarily due to the decrease in the average rates 
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 12

earned on loans outstanding partially offset by an increase in the average
balance of loans outstanding.  Average rates earned on loans decreased by
approximately .6%.  Interest on investments in U.S. Treasury and Agencies
decreased $1,661 or 9%.  The decline was due to a decrease in the average
yield of .5% along with a decrease in the average outstanding balance of
approximately $4,107 between the nine months ending September 30, 1994 and
1993.  Interest earned on investments in states and political subdivisions
increased $286 or 6%.  Increases in the average balance of this type of
investment, approximating $15,902 were offset by a decrease in the average
yield of approximately .5%.  Overall declines in average investment rates
earned were caused by maturities of higher yielding securities and the
purchase of investments at current market rates.  Other interest income,
primarily interest on federal funds sold, decreased $62 or 11%.  Decreases
in the average outstanding balance of approximately $7,302 offset by an
increase in the average yield of approximately .8% caused the decrease.

Interest Expense
- - ----------------
     Total interest expense decreased $3,627 or 12% between the nine month
period ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Average rates paid on all
deposits decreased by approximately .5% offset by an increase in average
total deposit volumes of approximately $979 between the periods ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Interest expense on interest-bearing demand
deposits decreased $735 or 12% due to the decrease in the average rates paid
of .4% partially offset by the increase in the average balances of
approximately $3,465.  The average interest rate paid on interest bearing
demand deposits was 2.7% during the first nine months of 1994 down from 3.1%
during the first nine months of 1993.  Traditional savings account interest
expense decreased $973 or 13% due to the decrease in the average rate paid
of approximately .5% offset by an increase in the average balance
outstanding of approximately $13,708.  The average interest rate paid on
traditional savings accounts decreased to 2.7% during the first nine months
of 1994 from 3.2% during the first nine months of 1993.  Certificates of 
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13

deposit interest expense decreased $1,839 or 12%.  The average outstanding
balances decreased by $16,195 due to declining rates offered on certificates
of deposit during 1993 and into 1994 in relation to other deposit products. 
Due to the deposit rate environment, the interest rate differential between
certificates of deposit and passbook savings provided limited incentive for
customers to reinvest in term accounts.  Average rates paid on certificates
of deposit decreased approximately .4% due to the decline in rates paid on
new and rollover deposits.  Interest on other borrowings, which primarily
includes repurchase agreements, decreased $80 or 5% primarily due to the
decrease in average balances outstanding of approximately $1,155 along with
a decrease in the average rates paid.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses
- - ----------------------------------
     The provision for possible loan losses increased $3,557 due to the
writedown of $4,000 on a collateralized commercial loan which encountered
financial problems.  Net charge-offs were $5,270 at September 30, 1994 as
compared to $1,212 as of September 30, 1993.  The reserve for possible loan
loss was 1.61% of total loans as of September 30, 1994 and 1.59% as of
December 31, 1993.  Nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, in-substance
foreclosures and other real estate owned decreased by $2,513 between
September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993.  Total nonaccrual and renegotiated
loans, in-substance foreclosures and other real estate owned totaled $9,522
or 1.3% of loans as of September 30, 1994 as compared to $12,035 or 1.6% as
of December 31, 1993.  The level of non-performing assets continues to be
a result of the depressed commercial real estate market and the lack of
economic growth in the primary market area.
     Loans past due 90 days or more have decreased to $2,326 or .3% of total
loans as of September 30, 1994 from $2,550 or .3% of total loans as of
December 31, 1993.  Many commercial loans are in the form of demand notes
and a number of these loans do not require regular principal payments. 
Accordingly, past due classifications might not be indicative of repayment
risks.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 14

     FAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," is
effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1994, and management is
unable to determine the effect of adopting FAS No. 114 at this time.
     Lending by WesBanco banks is guided by lending policies which allow for
various types of lending.  Normal lending practices do not include the
acquisition of high yield non-investment grade loans or "highly leveraged
transactions" ("HLT") from out of the primary market areas as described by
uniform interagency definition of an "HLT" for supervisory purposes, jointly
issued by the Federal Reserve Bank, the Comptroller of Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Other Income
- - ------------
     Other income increased $455 or 6%.  Trust fee income increased $116
primarily due to the number of new trust accounts and increases in estate
settlement fees during the first nine months of 1994.  Trust assets were in
excess of $1 billion as of September 30, 1994.  Service charges and other
income increased $145 between the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993 primarily due to an increase in service charges earned on deposit
accounts.  Net securities transaction gains increased $194 between the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.

Other Expenses
- - --------------
     Total other expenses increased $721 or 3%.  Salary expense increased
$702 due to normal salary adjustments, increased payroll taxes and increased
cost of health insurance.  Premises and equipment expense increased $68
between the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, primarily due to
the increased level of depreciation associated with upgrading data
processing equipment.  Other operating expenses decreased $49 or 1%
primarily due to internal consolidations during 1994 and 1993 which improved
operational efficiencies.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------
Interest Income
- - ---------------
     Total interest income decreased $1,089 between the three month periods 
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 15

ending September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Interest and fees on loans decreased
$532 due to a decrease in average rates partially offset by an increase in
the average volume of loans outstanding.  Interest on investments in U.S.
Treasury and Agencies decreased $407.  Average balances outstanding
decreased as well as average rates earned.  Investment securities average
balances decreased due to the lack of growth in deposits and a continued
increase in loan balances.  Interest on investments in states and political
subdivisions increased $113 primarily due to increased outstanding average
balances.  Other interest income, primarily interest on federal funds sold,
decreased $91 due to the decrease in the average balance outstanding.

Interest Expense
- - ----------------
     Total interest expense decreased $765 between the three month periods
ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Interest paid on deposits decreased $737
primarily due to the decrease in average rates paid on deposits as well as
a decrease in the average balance outstanding of approximately $9,735. 
Interest on other borrowings decreased $28 for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993, primarily due to the decrease in the average
volume of short-term borrowings of approximately $10,322.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses
- - ----------------------------------
     The provision for possible loan losses increased $3,814 between the
three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The increase was due to a
write down of $4,000 on one commercial loan which occurred during the third
quarter of 1994.

Other Income
- - ------------
     Total other income increased by $295 primarily due to the increase in
service charges and other income of $193 and trust fees of $50.  Net
securities transaction gains increased by $52.

Other Expenses
- - --------------
     Total other expenses increased by $434.  Salaries and employee benefits
increased $381 due to a normal salary adjustments, increased payroll taxes,
increased cost of health insurance and employee overtime associated with
internal consolidations.  Other operating expenses increased $52 between the
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 16

three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The increase was primarily
due to increased advertising associated with corporate wide deposit
campaigns.

                 Report of Independent Accountants

November 8, 1994

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of WesBanco, Inc.

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated 
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows of
WesBanco, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 1994
and 1993, and for the 3-month and 9-month periods then ended (the
consolidated interim financial information) as presented in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. 
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our
report dated January 24, 1994 and February 28, 1994, we expressed our
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  We did not
audit the financial statements of First Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. for 1993,
which statements reflect total assets of $307,965,000 at December 31, 1993. 
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has
been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for First Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. for 1993,
is based solely on the report of other auditors.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
information as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has
been derived.
