PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------
   Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and December 31, 
1995, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes 
in Shareholders' Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 (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, 1996 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, 1995. 

   Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 
were computed by dividing net income less preferred stock dividends and 
discount accretion, where applicable, by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period.  Effective November 15, 1995 
WesBanco redeemed its Series A 8% Cumulative Preferred stock.  Prior to 
redemption, preferred stock dividends were cumulative and payable quarterly 
at an annual rate of $15.20 per share.  The fully dilutive effect of
preferred stock  for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was less than 3%.

Note 4 - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD: (continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------------

1996.  Under the new standard, assets are to be reviewed for impairment 
whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of expected 
future cash flows from an impaired asset, on a discounted basis, is less 
than the asset's carrying amount.  The adoption of FAS No. 121 did not 
have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

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 March 31, 1996 were $1,380,065 as
compared to $1,371,793 as of December 31, 1995.
   
   Investment securities increased by $9,215 between March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995.  During the period, maturities, calls, prepayments 
and sales aggregated $52,901, while investment purchases totaled $65,224.  
Investment purchases consisted primarily of mortgage-backed securities, which

                                    
                                     9

represented a yield advantage over other investments during the first quarter
of 1996.

   The market value adjustments, before tax effect, in the available for 
sale investment portfolio resulted in unrealized net losses of $1,193 and 
unrealized net gains of $1,392 on available for sale securities as of 
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  These adjustments 
represent market value fluctuations caused by general changes in market 
rates and the length of time to respective maturity dates.  If these 
securities are held until their respective maturity date, no market value
adjustment would be realized.

   Net loans increased $5,049 or .6% between March 31, 1996 and December 31, 
1995.  Overall loan growth was primarily attributable to the installment 
loan portfolio.  During the first quarter of 1996 and throughout 1995, 
WesBanco experienced steady growth in this area as a result of offering 
attractive rates on automobile loans.

   Total deposits increased $2,635 between March 31, 1996 and December 31, 
1995.  The deposit increase, which occurred primarily in certificates of 
deposit, can be attributed to the new retail banking program called "Good 
Neighbor Banking."  The program is designed to build customer relationships 
by offering a series of pricing bonuses, which vary according to the customer's
number of qualifying services.  This relationship building is key to long 
term growth and customer profitability.  There was also a shift in deposit 
mix from demand deposits, which decreased $9,387 or 2.5% during the three
month period between March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, to certificates 
of deposit, which increased $11,790 or 2.6% during the same period.  The 
shift to certificates of deposit from demand deposits reflect the
customer's preference for higher-yielding products.  The certificate of 
deposit increase occurred

primarily in the Good Neighbor Banking products which offer a tiered pricing
structure based on balance and number of qualifying services.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Summary
- ----------------

   Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $4,905, a 5.3% 
increase over the same period in 1995.  Earnings per share of common stock 
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $.58 and $.54 
respectively.  Net income increased primarily due to an increase in net 
interest income, a decrease in overhead expenses and an increase in trust 
fees for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995.

   Return on average assets was 1.42% and 1.40% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Return on average equity was 11.51% 
compared to 11.72% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------
   
   Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased 
$638 or 4.6% over the same period for 1995.  The increase resulted from a 
 .1% increase in the net tax equivalent yield combined with volume growth 
in both average earning assets of $30,700 or 2.5% and interest bearing 
liabilities of $45,331 or 4.4%.  Average earning assets increased primarily 
due to loan growth.  As interest rates generally declined during 1995, lower 
rates on mortgage and consumer loans contributed to a 9.3% increase in average 
loans. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, most banks' primary 
lending rates averaged 8.3% compared to 8.8% for the corresponding period 
in 1995.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased primarily due to 
growth in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements.

   Net tax equivalent yield increased to 4.8% from 4.7% for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in the net yield was due to a shift in 
the mix of assets from investment securities to higher-yielding loans as 
well as a reduction of interest rates on demand and savings products in 
January 1996.

Interest Income
- ---------------

   Total interest income increased $1,336 or 5.6% between the three month 
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Interest and fees on loans increased 
$1,980 or 11.9% primarily due to both an increase in the average rates earned
and the average balance of loans outstanding.  Average rates earned on loans 
increased approximately .20% and average loan balances increased by
approximately $71,803 or 9.3%.  Interest on taxable investments decreased 
$590 or 11.9%.  The decline was due to a decrease in the average outstanding 
balance of approximately $44,913, partially offset by an increase in the 
average yield of .08% between the three month period ending March 31, 1996 
and 1995. The decrease in taxable investments resulted from the funding of
excess loan demand with scheduled investment maturities.  Matured, called or 
sold investment securities represent a primary source of liquidity.  Interest
earned on nontaxable investments remained stable.  Increases in the average 
balance of this type of investment approximated $5,881 while the average 
yield declined .25%.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

   Total interest expense increased $698 or 7.0% between the three month 
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Interest expense on deposits 
increased $543 or 5.9% during the period as the average rate on 
interest-bearing deposits increased to 3.9% from 3.8% and average 
interest-bearing deposit balances increased by approximately $20,516.  
The increase in average 


                                  12

<PAGE>  13


interest-bearing deposit balances resulted from 
growth in certificates of deposit of $42,111.  Customers were attracted to 
the higher-yielding certificate of deposit products and the introduction of 
the Good Neighbor Banking Program in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Interest 
expense on certificates of deposit increased $1,209 or 23% reflecting this 
growth in average balances.  Interest expense on interest bearing demand 
deposits decreased $322 or 17.7% primarily due to a decrease in the average 
balances of approximately $6,716 and a decrease in the average rates of .44%.
Interest on savings accounts decreased $344 or 16.4% primarily due to a 
decrease in the average balances of $14,878 combined with a .33% average 
rate decrease.  Interest on other borrowings, which primarily includes 
repurchase agreements, increased $155 or 21% due to an increase in average 
balances outstanding of $24,814.  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 increased due to an increase in net
charge-offs and due to management's evaluation of the credit risk in the loan
portfolio and analysis of underlying collateral value.  Net charge-offs 
increased to $425 as of March 31, 1996 from $104 as of March 31, 1995.  The 
reserve for possible loan losses was 1.54% of total loans as of March 31,
1996 and 1.50% as of December 31, 1995.  Nonperforming loans consisting of 
nonaccrual, renegotiated, and other impaired loans totalled $7,624 or .9% of 
loans as of March 31, 1996 as compared to $7,291 or .9% as of December 31, 
1995, an increase of $333. Other real estate totaled $4,283 as of March 31, 
1996, compared to $4,137 as of December 31, 1995.  Loans past due 90 days or
more increased to $4,821 or .6% of total loans as of March 31, 1996 from 
$3,006 or .4% of total loans as of December 31, 1995.

   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 area.

Other Income
- ------------
 
   Other income increased $97 or 3.4%.  Trust fee income increased $176 
primarily due to increases in the market values and new trust business during 
the first three months of 1996.  The market value of trust assets 
approximated $1,410,007 as of March 31, 1996, an increase of $254,600 or 22% 
over March 31, 1995.  Service charges and other income decreased $59 between 
the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Net securities 
transaction gains decreased $20 between the three months ended March 31, 1996 
and 1995.  In 1995, the Corporation recognized security gains of approximately 
$85, resulting from a decision to divest an equity position which no longer 
had a stratgic value.

Other Expenses
- --------------

   Total other expenses decreased $224 or 2.3%.  Salary expense increased 
$41 or .9% while employee benefits decreased $121 during this period 
primarily due to a reduction in pension expense of $192.  The reduction of 
pension expense resulted from an increase in the market value of Pension Plan 
assets, combined with a change in the method of calculating benefits.  
Premise and equipment expense increased $136 or 11.6% due to the installation
of a local area network and other technological advancements designed to 
enhance customer service.  Other operating expenses decreased $281 or 9.0% 
primarily due to a reduction in FDIC insurance expense of $624.  However, the
decrease was partially offset by the recognition of renovation costs 
totalling $265, at a
