PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------
  	Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended 
September 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 were 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%.

	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 Financial 
Accounting Standard "FAS" No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of 
a Loan", 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 to the loan category for December 31, 1994.  The reclassification 
did not significantly impact the Corporation's financial condition.

NOTE 4 - Adoption of New Accounting Standards:
- ----------------------------------------------
	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.  If the loan valuation is 

                                   8   
<PAGE> 9

less than the recorded value of the loan, an impairment reserve must be 
established for the difference.  A loan is considered impaired when, based 
upon current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will 
be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the 
contractual terms of the loan agreement.
	At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are 
considered to be impaired under FAS No. 114 using the discounted cash flow 
method was $10,703 (of which $9,542 were on a nonaccrual basis).  Included in 
this amount is $4,116 of impaired loans for which the related reserve for 
possible loan losses is $461 and $6,587 of impaired loans that, as a result of 
collateral values, do not require an allowance for credit losses.  The average 
balance of impaired loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 
1995 was approximately $10,836.  For the purpose of this standard, all 
nonaccrual, renegotiated, and certain performing loans are considered to 
be impaired.  For the period ended September 30, 1995, the interest income 
recognized on impaired loans does not have a material effect on the results of 
operations.
       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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)
- ----------

Financial Condition
- -------------------
	Total assets of WesBanco as of September 30, 1995 were $1,359,365 as 
compared to $1,350,968 as of December 31, 1994.
	Investment securities declined by $39,617 between September 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994.  During the period, maturities, calls, prepayments and 
sales aggregated $134,200, while investment purchases totalled $89,710.  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 effect on 
available for sale securities of $289 and $7,342 as of September 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994, respectively.  These unrealized net losses represent 
temporary market value fluctuations which change depending upon general 
changes in market rates and the length of time to respective maturity dates.  
If the available for sale securities are held until their respective maturity 
date, no market value adjustment would be realized.
	Net loans increased $54,810 or 7.2% between September 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994.  A significant portion of the loan growth can be attributed 
to increases in installment loans which, due to WesBanco offering attractive 

                                      10
<PAGE>  11


rates on automobile loans, increased approximately $29,679.  Real estate loans 
increased approximately $21,920 resulting from loans made for commercial real 
estate projects.
	Total deposits declined $3,144 between September 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 
significantly over this nine month period as consumers shifted to higher 
yielding certificates of deposit from non-term deposit products.  Certificates 
of deposit increased $32,696 or 7.8% between September 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 nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Summary
- ----------------

	Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $13,958, a 
22.3% increase over the same period in 1994.  Earnings per share of common 
stock for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were $1.63 and 
$1.31 respectively.  Net income increased primarily due to a decrease in the 
provision for possible loan losses, a decrease in overhead costs and an 
increase in trust fees for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as 
compared to September 30, 1994.  During the third quarter of 1994, the 
provision for possible loan losses was increased $4,000 due to the writedown 
of a collateralized commercial loan which encountered financial problems.  The 
after-tax effect on net income was approximately $2,469 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1994.

                               11
<PAGE> 12

	Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.39% and 1.13% for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Return on average equity 
(ROE) was 11.56% compared to 9.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------
	Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 
decreased $669 or 1.6% over the same period for 1994.  The decline was largely 
due to an increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. 
Net tax equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average 
earning assets declined to 4.7% from 4.8% during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
	Both interest income and interest expense increased over the prior year 
primarily due to an increase in the interest rate environment during the 
second half of 1994 and into the first quarter of 1995.  Current period loan 
and deposit interest rates are generally above levels noted in the previous 
comparative period.  During the first nine months of 1995, most banks' primary 
lending rates ranged from 8.5% to 9.0% and the rate for the first nine months 
of 1994 ranged from 6.0% to 7.75%.  The continued upward repricing of interest 
earning assets caused the average yield to increase to 7.7% during the first 
nine months of 1995 from 7.3% during the first nine months of 1994.  The 
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 4.0% during the 
first nine months of 1995 from 3.4% during the same period of 1994 primarily 
due to rising market rates and the shift from demand and savings products to 
higher yielding certificates of deposit.

Interest Income
- ---------------
	Total interest income increased $3,857 or 6% between the nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest and fees on loans 

                                 12
<PAGE> 13


increased $5,873 or 13% 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 loan balances increased by 
approximately $51,779.  Interest on investments in U.S. Treasury and Agencies 
decreased $2,340 or 14%.  The decline was due to a decrease in the average 
outstanding balance of approximately $52,217, along with a decrease in the 
average yield of .1% between the nine months ending September 30, 1995 and 
1994.  Interest earned on investments in states and political subdivisions 
decreased $210 or 4%.  Decreases in the average balance of this type of 
investment approximated $4,730 while the average yield remained unchanged.  
Other interest income, comprised primarily of interest on federal funds sold, 
increased $423 or 84%.  The increase was due to average rates earned which 
increased to 5.9% during the first nine months of 1995 from 3.8% during the 
same period of 1994, and an increase in the average balance of approximately 
$3,177.

Interest Expense
- ----------------
	Total interest expense increased $4,526 or 17% between the nine month 
period ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest expense on deposits 
increased $3,651 or 15% during the period as the average rate on interest 
bearing deposits increased to 3.9% from 3.4% but was partially offset by a 
decrease in average interest-bearing deposit balances of approximately 
$10,402.  The decrease in average deposits was due to the lack of economic 
growth in the Upper Ohio Valley and competition from nonbank products. 
Interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $114 or 2% 
primarily due to a decrease in the average balances of approximately $18,607 
partially offset by an increase in the average rates paid.  The interest rates 
paid on NOW and Money Market accounts approximated 2.8% during the first nine 

                                  13

<PAGE>  14

months of 1995 and 2.7% for the same period of 1994.  Interest expense on 
traditional savings accounts decreased $433 or 7% due to a decrease in average 
balances of approximately $29,802 offset by an increase in the average rates 
paid by .1%.  Certificates of deposit interest expense increased $4,197 or 32% 
due to an increase in the average balances of $38,007 combined with an 
increase in the average rates paid of .9%.  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 $875 or 63% primarily due to 
increases in average rates paid on repurchase agreements of 1.7% and average 
balances outstanding of approximately $2,647.  Rates paid on repurchase 
agreements closely follow the direction of interest rates in the federal
funds market.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses
- ----------------------------------
	The provision for possible loan losses decreased due to a 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 value.  Net 
charge-offs decreased to $1,047 as of September 30, 1995 from $5,270 as of 
September 30, 1994.  The provision for possible loan losses for the period 
ending September 30, 1994 was increased due to the writedown of a 
collateralized commercial loan which encountered financial problems.  The 
reserve for possible loan losses was 1.55% of total loans as of September 30, 
1995 and 1.59% as of December 31, 1994.  Nonperforming assets consisting of 
nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, in-substance foreclosures and other real 
estate owned totalled $9,919 or 1.2% of loans as of September 30, 1995 as 
compared to $8,795 or 1.2% as of December 31, 1994, an increase of $1,082.  
The increase was primarily due to a commercial real estate loan which was 
placed

                                 14

<PAGE> 15


on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 1995.  Loans past due 90
days or more have decreased to $1,384 or .2% of total loans as of 
September 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 $500 or 6%.  Trust fee income increased $272 
primarily due to increases in the market values and new trust business during 
the first nine months of 1995.  The market value of trust assets approximates 
$1,257,000 as of September 30, 1995.  Service charges and other income 
increased $114 between the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 
resulting from the standardization of service charges among subsidiary banks.  
Net securities transaction gains increased $114 between the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994 resulting from a decision to divest an equity 
position which no longer had a strategic value to the Corporation.  The 
divestiture resulted in security gains of approximately $279 during the nine 
months ended September 30, 1995.

Other Expenses
- --------------
	Total other expenses decreased $343 or 1%.  Salary expense and employee 
benefits increased $98 primarily due to increased employee benefit expenses 
offset by a decrease in the number of full-time equivalent employees.  
Implementation of WesBanco's postretirement benefits for the most recent
acquisition along with higher health insurance and payroll taxes caused the
level of benefits to increase.  Other operating expenses decreased $476 or 
 .5% partially due to a decrease in the FDIC insurance rate.  Decreases in
other

                                 15

<PAGE> 16


operating expenses can also be attributed to improved operational  
efficiencies resulting from affiliate bank consolidations during 1995 and 1994.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
	Total interest income increased $1,470 between the three month periods 
ending September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest and fees on loans increased 
$2,290 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 $815.  Average balances outstanding decreased while 
average rates increased slightly by .4%.  Interest on investments in states 
and political subdivisions decreased $88 primarily due to a decrease in 
average balances and a decrease in average rates of .01%.  Other interest 
income, primarily interest on federal funds sold, increased $104 due to an 
increase in both the average balance and the average rate earned.
	Total interest expense increased $1,699 between the three month period 
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Interest paid on deposits increased $1,406 
due to both an increase in the average rates paid on deposits and average 
interest-bearing deposit balances of approximately $652.  Interest on other 
borrowings increased $293 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 
1994, primarily due to an increase in the average volume of repurchase 
agreements approximating $3,800.
	Total other income increased by $68 primarily due to an increase in 
trust fees.  Service charges and other income had a decrease of $5.
	Total other expenses decreased by $495.  Salaries and employee benefits 
decreased $99.  Premises and equipment increased $64 partially due to an 
increase in depreciation expense associated with remodeling at an affiliate 
bank, the upgrade of data processing equipment and the construction of a new 

                                   16

<PAGE> 17

banking office.  Other operating expenses decreased $460 primarily due to a 
decrease in the FDIC insurance rates.

Other Matters
- -------------
	Effective November 1, 1995, commercial real estate loans totalling 
$4,118, of which $3,488 was on nonaccrual status, as of September 30, 1995 
were reclassified to Other Assets.  This action was taken by WesBanco Wheeling 
through a transfer by deed in-lieu of foreclosure.  Also on that date, 
WesBanco Wheeling established a wholly owned nonbank subsidiary for the 
purpose of operating the property until sold.  The property will be managed
by an independent management firm.  This property is currently being 
independently appraised and, therefore, management is unable to estimate at 
this time if any adjustment to the current asset value is required.
	During the third quarter, the Corporation completed the repurchase of 
270,156 shares of common stock under the $7,000 stock repurchase plan 
announced in April 1994.  Subsequently, during August 1995, the Board of 
Directors approved an additional $10,000 stock repurchase plan to make 
shares available for general corporate purposes.  The timing, price, and 
quantity of purchases will be at the discretion of the Corporation.  This 
program may be discontinued or expanded at any time.
	During the fourth quarter 1995, the 9,925 shares of 8% cumulative 
redeemable preferred stock of WesBanco will be redeemed or converted into 
WesBanco common stock.  The holder of the cumulative preferred stock has the 
option to redeem the stock at a price of $190 per share or convert the stock 
into shares of WesBanco common stock.
	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 

                                 17
<PAGE> 18


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 September 30, 1995, WesBanco common stock 
held for this plan approximated $341 and was classified as a decrease in 
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 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 the total 
amount of contributions paid into the trust account for the nine months ending 
September 30, 1995.

Report of Independent Accountants

November 3, 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 September 30, 1995 
and 1994, 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, 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.
