PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------
Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1995 (unaudited) and
December 31, 1994, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
(unaudited) are set forth on the following pages. 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 three months ended March 31, 1995 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, 1994.
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%.

</TABLE>
As of January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standard "FAS" No. 114 (as amended by FAS No. 118), "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan." Under the new standard, the 1995 portion of the
reserve for possible loan losses related to loans that are identified for
evaluation in accordance with FAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows
using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.
The reserve for possible loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb estimated probable loan losses. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates
including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be
received on impaired loans which may be susceptible to significant change.
At March 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered
to be impaired under FAS No. 114 was $11,230 (of which $6,134 were on a
nonaccrual basis). Included in this amount is $3,575 of impaired loans for
which the related reserve for possible loan losses is $234 and $7,655 of
impaired loans that as a result of writedowns do not require an allowance
for credit losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during
the period ended March 31, 1995 was approximately $11,517. For the period
ended March 31, 1995, the interest income recognized on impaired loans does
not have a material effect on the results of operations.

<PAGE> 9
Foreclosed assets are comprised of property acquired through a
foreclosure proceeding, acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and
loans classified as in-substance foreclosure. In accordance with the
provisions of FAS No. 114, a loan is classified as an in-substance
foreclosure when the Corporation has taken possession of the collateral
regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place. Loans
previously classified as in-substance foreclosure but for which the
Corporation had not taken possession of the collateral have been
reclassified from other assets to the loan category for 1995 and 1994. The
reclassification did not significantly impact the Corporation's financial
condition.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
Total assets of WesBanco as of March 31, 1995 were $1,331,505 as
compared to $1,350,968 as of December 31, 1994.
Investment securities declined by $32,005 between March 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. Of the decline, approximately $26,119 was due to
maturities, calls and prepayments of investment securities while
approximately $12,307 was due to sales. The proceeds were partially used
to fund loan growth and provide for an increased federal funds sold balance.

<PAGE>
<PAGE> 10
The market value adjustments resulting from FAS No. 115 reflected
unrealized net losses before tax effect on available for sale securities of
$3,295 and $7,342 as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.
The unrealized net losses represent temporary market value fluctuations
which may change depending upon general changes in market rates.
Net loans increased $8,559 between March 31 1995 and December 31, 1994.
The loan growth can be attributed primarily to an increase in real estate
loans of approximately $5,504 due to loans made for commercial real estate
projects during the first quarter of 1995. Commercial loans increased
approximately $2,736 and installment loans increased $1,448 between March
31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
Total deposits declined $8,605 between March 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994. The lack of growth in the deposit area is due to the general economic
conditions and competition from nonbank products.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Summary
- ----------------
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $4,658, a 1%
increase over the same period in 1994. Earnings per share of common stock
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $.54 and $.53
respectively. Net income increased slightly due to a decrease in the
provision for possible loan losses, cost control efforts and an increase in
trust fees for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same
period during 1994.
Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.40% and 1.38% for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Return on average equity (ROE)
was 11.72% compared to 11.65% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
Current period loan and deposit interest rates are generally above
levels noted in the previous comparative period. During the first three
months of 1995, most banks' primary lending rates were at 9.0% and the rates
for the first three months of 1994 were between 6.0% and 6.25%. The
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11
continued repricing of interest earning assets caused the average yield on
WesBanco's interest earning assets to increase to 7.5% during the first
three months of 1995 from 7.2% during the first three months of 1994.
Increases in deposit rates paid on interest bearing liabilities caused an
increase in average rates paid to 3.8% during the first three months of 1995
from 3.3% during the first three months of 1994. Net tax equivalent
interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets remained
stable at 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Total interest income increased $1,055 or 5% between the three month
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. Interest and fees on loans increased
$1,466 or 10% primarily due to both an increase in the average rates earned
and the average balance of loans outstanding. Average rates earned on loans
increased by approximately .4% and average balances of loans increased by
approximately $34,083,000. Interest on investments in U.S. Treasury and
Agencies decreased $456 or 9%. The decline was due to a decrease in the
average outstanding balance of approximately $26,472, along with a decrease
in the average yield of .1% between the three months ending March 31, 1995
and 1994. Interest earned on investments in states and political
subdivisions decreased $47 or 3%. Decreases in the average balance of this
type of investment, approximating $1,921 were offset by an increase in the
average yield of approximately .1%. Other interest income, comprised
primarily of interest on federal funds sold, increased $47 or 19%. The
increase was due to average rates earned which increased by approximately
2.6%, offset by a decrease in the average balance of approximately $11,006.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Total interest expense increased $1,199 or 14% between the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. During the period, average rates paid
on all deposits increased by approximately .4% and was partially offset by
a decrease in average total deposits of approximately $16,642. The decrease
in average deposits was due to the lack of general economic growth and
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 12
competition from nonbank products. Interest expense on interest-bearing
demand deposits increased $55 or 3% primarily due to the increase in the
average rates paid of .3% partially offset by a decrease in average
balances. The interest rates paid on NOW and Money Market accounts was 2.5%
during the first quarter of 1995 and 1994. Traditional savings account
interest expense decreased $85 or 4% due to a decrease in average balances
of approximately $27,271 offset by an increase in the average rates paid by
.1%. Certificates of deposit interest expense increased $916 or 21% due to
an increase in the average balances of $28,071 combined with an increase in
the average rates paid of .6%. The increase in the average balance of
certificates of deposit was due to the shift from non-term deposits to
higher yielding deposits. Interest on other borrowings, which primarily
includes repurchase agreements, increased $313 or 73% primarily due to the
increase in average rates paid on repurchase agreements of 3.0% offset by
a decrease in the average balances outstanding of approximately $5,674.
Rates paid on repurchase agreements closely follow rates earned in the
federal funds market.
Provision for Possible Loan Losses
- ----------------------------------
The provision for possible loan losses decreased due to the decline in
net charge-offs and due to management's evaluation of the loan portfolio in
the current business environment. Net charge-offs decreased to $104 as of
March 31, 1995 from $561 as of March 31, 1994. The reserve for possible
loan losses was 1.60% of total loans as of March 31, 1995 and 1.59% as of
December 31, 1994. Nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, in-substance
foreclosures and other real estate owned decreased by $1,764 between
March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. Total nonaccrual and renegotiated
loans, in-substance foreclosures and other real estate owned totaled $7,031
or .9% of loans as of March 31, 1995 as compared to $8,795 or 1.2% as of
December 31, 1994. In conjunction with a regulatory examination, a
commercial mortgage loan totaling $3,493,000 was placed on non-accrual
status during April, 1995.
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13
Loans past due 90 days or more have decreased to $2,162 or .3% of total
loans as of March 31, 1995 from $2,526 or.3% of total loans as of
December 31, 1994. Many commercial loans are in the form of demand notes
and a number of these loans do not require principal payments so that past
due classifications might not be indicative of repayment risks.
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 decreased $5 or less than 1%. Trust fee income increased
$38 primarily due to increases in estate settlement fees during the first
three months of 1995. Trust assets remain in excess of $1 billion as of
March 31, 1995. Service charges and other income decreased $6 between the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 primarily due to the decline in
income from nonbanking activities. Net securities transaction gains
decreased $37 between the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.
Other Expenses
- --------------
Total other expenses increased $76 or 1%. Salary expense increased
$108 due to normal salary adjustments, increased payroll taxes and increased
post-employment benefits for First Fidelity employees. Other operating
expenses decreased $31 or 1% due to internal consolidations during 1995 and
1994 which are improving operational efficiencies.
Other Matters
- -------------
A deferred compensation plan ("the Plan") for Directors of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries was modified in the first quarter of 1995.
Any Director may elect, at specified times, to participate in the Plan.
Each Director who elects to participate in the Plan will have an account
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 14
established in which the director fees will be credited as they become
payable. Directors may elect to designate that all or part of such account
be deemed to be invested in WesBanco common stock or in a subsidiary bank
interest bearing account. Approximately $312,000 in existing deferred
account balances was invested in WesBanco common stock as of March 31, 1995,
at the election of the participating Directors. The balances invested in
common stock are classified as a deduction from Shareholders' Equity.
On January 1, 1995, WesBanco implemented a self-insurance medical plan
available to all employees at their option. Premiums are paid by both
employees and WesBanco into a trust account being administered by a
subsidiary bank. As claims become due, payment is made from the trust.
WesBanco pays a monthly premium, as determined by an independent actuary,
which includes reinsurance to limit its liability in providing medical
coverage through the self-insurance plan. Expenses for the self-insurance
plan approximate premiums paid into the trust account for the period ending
March 31, 1995.

PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP
Report of Independent Accountants
---------------------------------
May 4, 1995
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 March 31, 1995 and
1994, and for the 3-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 March 31, 1995. 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, 1994, 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 19, 1995, we expressed our unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of
December 31, 1994, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
