PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------
     Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 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 six months ended
June 30, 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 six months
ended June 30, 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%.

     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 June 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are
considered to be impaired under FAS No. 114 was $10,538 (of which $9,271
were on a nonaccrual basis).  Included in this amount is $3,412 of
impaired loans for which the related reserve for possible loan losses is
$222 and $7,126 of impaired loans that, as a result of writedowns, do not

                                   8
<PAGE> 9

require an allowance for credit losses.  The average balance of impaired
loans during the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was approximately
$10,760.  For the period ended June 30, 1995, the interest income
recognized on impaired loans does not have a material effect on the
results of operations.
     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 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
in other assets as in-substance foreclosure of approximately $3,666 have been
reclassified from other assets to the loan category for December 31, 1994. 
The reclassification did not significantly impact the Corporation's
financial condition.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands)
- -------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------    

     Total assets of WesBanco as of June 30, 1995 were $1,346,780 as
compared to $1,350,968 as of December 31, 1994.
     Investment securities declined by $25,935 between June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.  The decline was caused by maturities, calls,
prepayments and sales aggregating $97,244.  Investment purchases for the
same period were $65,961.  The net proceeds from a decrease in
investments were used to fund loan growth and to provide for deposit
withdrawals.
     The market value adjustments in the investment portfolio under the
1994 adoption of FAS No. 115 resulted in unrealized net losses before tax
on available for sale securities of $556 and $7,342 as of June 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994, respectively.  These unrealized net losses
represent temporary market value fluctuations which may change depending
upon general changes in market rates and length of time to respective
maturity dates.
     Net loans increased $33,215 or 4.3% between June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.  A significant portion of the loan growth can be
attributed to increases in installment loans which, due to offering
attractive rates on automobile loans, increased approximately $16,286. 
Real estate loans increased approximately $11,163 resulting from loans
made for commercial real estate projects.
     Total deposits declined $10,222 between June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.  The lack of growth in the deposit area is due to the
general economic conditions within the Upper Ohio Valley and competition
from nonbank products.  Additionally, the composition of deposits changed

                                    10
<PAGE> 11

significantly over this six month period as consumers shifted to higher
yielding certificates of deposit from non-term deposit products. 
Certificates of deposit increased $26,878 or 6.4% between June 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994.  This shift in deposits reflects the consumer's
sensitivity to a changing interest rate environment and demand for higher
yielding alternatives.


Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Summary
- ----------------
     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $9,415, a 1%
increase over the same period in 1994.  Earnings per share of common
stock for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $1.10 and
$1.07 respectively.  Net income increased slightly due to a decrease in
the provision for possible loan losses, the ability to control overhead
costs and an increase in trust fees for the six months ended June 30,
1995 as compared to the same period during 1994.
     Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.41% and 1.38% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Return on average
equity (ROE) was 11.72% compared to 11.76% for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
     Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased
$440 or 1.6% over the same period for 1994.  The decrease can be
attributed to a decline in average earning assets of $5,710 or .5% and
interest bearing liabilities of $16,540 or 1.6% over the comparative
period.  Net tax equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of
average earning assets remained stable at 4.7% for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Current period loan and deposit interest rates
are generally above levels noted in the previous comparative period. 
During the first six months of 1995, most banks' primary lending rate was

                                  11
<PAGE> 12

at 9.0% and the rate for the first six months of 1994 ranged from 6.0%
to 7.25%.  The continued repricing of interest earning assets caused the
average yield on WesBanco's interest earning assets to increase to 7.7%
during the first six months of 1995 from 7.2% during the first six months
of 1994.  Increases in rates paid on deposit products caused average
rates on interest bearing liabilities to increase to 3.9% during the
first six months of 1995 from 3.3% during the first six months of 1994. 

Interest Income
- ---------------
     Total interest income increased $2,387 or 5% between the six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest and fees on loans
increased $3,583 or 12% 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 .5% and average balances of
loans increased by approximately $43,926.  Interest on investments in
U.S. Treasury and Agencies decreased $1,525 or 14%.  The decline was due
to a decrease in the average outstanding balance of approximately
$49,411, along with a decrease in the average yield of .1% between the
six months ending June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest earned on investments
in states and political subdivisions decreased $122 or 4%.  Decreases in
the average balance of this type of investment approximated $4,697 while
the average yield remained unchanged.  Other interest income, comprised
primarily of interest on federal funds sold, increased $319 or 80%.  The
increase was due to average rates earned which increased to 6.0% during
the first six months of 1995 from 3.5% during the same period of 1994,
and an increase in the average balance of approximately $1,010.

Interest Expense
- ----------------
     Total interest expense increased $2,827 or 16% between the six month
period ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  During the period, average rates

                                   12
<PAGE> 13

paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 3.8% from 3.3% but was
offset by a decrease in average interest-bearing deposit balances of
approximately $15,929.  The decrease in average deposits was due to the
lack of economic growth in the Upper Ohio Valley  and competition from
nonbank products.  The increase in average deposit rates was due to
rising market rates in the second half of 1994 coupled with a shift from
non-term demand and savings products to higher yielding certificates of
deposit.  Interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits increased
$35 or 1% primarily due to the increase in the average rates paid of .2%
partially offset by a decrease in average balances.  The interest rates
paid on NOW and Money Market accounts approximated 2.5% during the first
half of 1995 and 1994.  Interest expense on traditional savings accounts
decreased $239 or 5% due to a decrease in average balances of
approximately $31,028 offset by an increase in the average rates paid by
 .1%.  Certificates of deposit interest expense increased $2,450 or 28%
due to an increase in the average balances of $35,181 combined with an
increase in the average rates paid of .8%.  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 $582 or 65%
primarily due to increases in average rates paid on repurchase agreements
of 2% and average balances outstanding of approximately $2,069.  Rates
paid on repurchase agreements closely follow interest rates 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 credit risk
in the current loan portfolio and analysis of underlying collateral

                                  13
<PAGE> 14

value.  Net charge-offs decreased to $615 as of June 30, 1995 from $903
as of June 30, 1994.  The reserve for possible loan losses was 1.55% of
total loans as of June 30, 1995 and 1.59% as of December 31, 1994. 
Nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, in-substance foreclosures and other
real estate owned totaled $10,080 or 1.2% of loans as of June 30, 1995
as compared to $8,795 or 1.2% as of December 31, 1994, an increase of
$1,285.  The increase was primarly due to a commercial real estate loan
which was placed on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 1995. 
Loans past due 90 days or more have decreased to $1,867 or .2% of total
loans as of June 30, 1995 from $2,526 or .3% of total loans as of
December 31, 1994.
     Lending by WesBanco banks is guided by written 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.

Other Income
- ------------
     Other income increased $425 or 8%.  Trust fee income increased $187
primarily due to increases in estate settlement fees during the first six
months of 1995.  The market value of trust assets approximates $1,151,000 as
of June 30, 1995.  Service charges and other income increased $112
between the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 primarily due to the
standardization of service charges among subsidiary banks.  Net
securities transaction gains increased $126 between the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994 primarily due to a decision to divest of an equity
position in the current year which no longer has a strategic value to the 
Corporation.  The divestiture resulted in security gains of approximately 
$279 during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

                                   14
<PAGE> 15

Other Expenses
- --------------
     Total other expenses increased $145 or 1%.  Salaries expense and
employee benefits increased $197 primarily due to the implementation of
postretirement benefits for WesBanco Fairmont (formerly First Fidelity 
Bancorp) employees.  Other operating expenses decreased $23 or .3% due to 
improved operational efficiencies resulting from affiliate bank 
consolidations during 1995 and 1994.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------------
     Total interest income increased $1,332 between the three month
periods ending June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest and fees on loans
increased $2,117 due to an increase in average rates coupled with an
increase in the average volume of loans outstanding.  Interest on
investments in U.S. Treasury and Agencies decreased $1,074.  Average
balances outstanding decreased while average rates earned remained
stable.  Interest on investments in states and political subdivisions
decreased $70 primarily due to a decrease in outstanding average
balances.  Other interest income, primarily interest on federal funds
sold, increased $272 due to both an increase in the average balance
outstanding and an increase in average rates.
     Total interest expense increased $1,628 between the three month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest paid on deposits
increased $1,359 due to an increase in average rates paid on deposits
offset by a decrease in the average interest-bearing deposit balances
outstanding of approximately $15,215.  Interest on other borrowings
increased $269 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
primarily due to an increase in the average volume of repurchase
agreements approximating $9,814.
     Total other income increased by $430 primarily due to increases in

                                    15
<PAGE> 16

both trust fees of $149 and net securities transaction gains of $163. 
Service charges and other income increased by $118.
     Total other expenses increased by $69.  Salaries and employee
benefits increased $89 due primarily to an increase in postretirement
benefits.  Premises, equipment and other operating expenses remained at
levels consistent with the second quarter of 1994.  The stability in
overhead expenses can be attributed to improved operational efficiencies
through internal consolidations of affiliate banks.

Other Matters
- -------------
     The Corporation modified a Directors' deferred compensation plan
("the Plan") in the first quarter of 1995.  Any Director, including
affiliate directors, may elect, at specified times, to participate in the
Plan.  Each Director who elects to participate in the Plan will have an
account established in which his or her 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.  As of June 30, 1995,
WesBanco common stock held for this plan approximated $324,000 and was
classified as a decrease in Shareholder' 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 approved claims become due, payment is made from
the trust.  The monthly contribution is determined by an independent
actuary, which includes reinsurance to limit liability in providing
medical coverage through the self-insurance plan.  Expenses for the self-
insurance plan approximate contributions paid into the trust account for
the six months ending June 30, 1995.

                         Report of Independent Accountants
                         ---------------------------------

August 7, 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 June 30, 1995 and 
1994, and for the 3-month and 6-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 June 30, 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 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.
