                   Report of Independent Auditors

Pension Committee
WesBanco, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of the WesBanco, Inc. KSOP as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996.  
These financial statements are the responsibility of the KSOP's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets 
available for plan benefits of the KSOP at December 31, 1996 and 
1995, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits 
for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment as
of December 31, 1996, and transactions or series of transactions
in excess of 5% of the fair value of plan assets for the year
then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The supplemental schedules have been subject to the auditing 
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, 
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in 
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                        WesBanco, Inc. KSOP
                   Notes to Financial Statements
                  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 
              and for the year ended December 31, 1996
           



Note 1 - Plan Description
- -------------------------

The WesBanco, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan was amended and
restated effective as of January 1, 1996 by the adoption of
Amendment No. 1, adding a qualified cash or deferral arrangement
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and renaming the WesBanco, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan the WesBanco, Inc. KSOP (the Plan).

During 1996 the Plan covered substantially all employees of
WesBanco, Inc. (the Company) with the exception of employees from
the acquisition of Vandalia National Corporation, who had not yet
met the eligibility requirements.  A participant must complete at
least 1,000 hours of service in the year and be employed on
December 31 of each year, in order to share in the allocation of
employer contributions and forfeitures for such year.  The Plan
has two Trustees, Bank One and WesBanco Bank Wheeling.

The ESOP portion of the Plan, established on December 31, 1986,
is a non-contributory, defined contribution Plan.  The ESOP
borrowed money and used the proceeds of the loan to buy common
stock of the Company.  The ESOP holds common stock in a suspense
account until principal payments are made on the loan.  As loan
payments are made, an amount of common stock is released from the
suspense account and allocated to the accounts of the
participants based on the participant's compensation.

The borrowing is collateralized by the unallocated shares of
stock and is guaranteed by the Company.  The lender has no rights
against shares once they are allocated under the ESOP.
Accordingly, the notes to the financial statements of the Plan
present separately the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1996 
and 1995 changes for the year ended December 31, 1996 pertaining to: 
(a) the stock that has been allocated to the accounts of the employees 
(allocated) and (b) stock not yet allocated to the accounts of employees 
(unallocated).

Contributions to the ESOP by the Company are made in an amount
determined by the Board of Directors.  For any year in which the
loan is outstanding, the contribution will be no less than is
needed to pay the principal and interest on the loan for that
year.  Contributions and forfeitures are allocated to
participants in proportion to each participant's compensation,
but cannot exceed the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of such
participant's compensation during the Plan year.

                   WesBanco, Inc. KSOP
                Notes to Financial Statements
                As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 
             and for the year ended December 31, 1996
        



Note 1 - Plan Description (continued)
- -------------------------------------
Participant's interests in the ESOP are fully vested after five
years of continuous service. Generally, termination of employment
for reasons other than death, normal retirement or permanent
disability prior to completion of five years of continuous
service results in forfeiture.

Distributions to participants who have left employment of the
Company or their beneficiaries may be paid in either cash or
stock in lump sum or installments over a period that the
participant selects, within certain plan restrictions.

Trustee fees may be paid by the Plan or Plan Sponsor (WesBanco, 
Inc.), at the discretion of the Plan Sponsor.

The Plan, which falls under the guidelines of Section 401(k),
established on January 1, 1996, provides for salary deferral and
matching employer contributions. The Plan is designed to enable
eligible employees to invest the employee deferral, employer
matching and employee rollover contribution among seven funds
that are made available by the Plan Administrator.  An employee
shall become a participant in the Plan on the employee's
employment date effective on January 1, April 1, July 1 or
October 1 following such employee's employment date, if the
employee has reached the employee's twenty-first birthday.

Matching contributions to the 401(k) will equal 50% of the first
2% of compensation deferred and 25% of the next 2% of
compensation deferred.  The amount of the contribution will not
be greater than the amount permitted by federal law.
Participant's interests are 100% vested in the employee
deferral, employer matching and rollover accounts.

Hardship distributions can be made from a participant's employee
deferral account (401(k)) with approval by the Plan
Administrator, if specific criteria is met.

The Plan is administered by a committee comprised of employees
and Directors appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual
basis.  Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for as of
the trade date.  Interest and dividend income are recorded as
earned.

                     WesBanco, Inc. KSOP
                Notes to Financial Statements
                As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 
             and for the year ended December 31, 1996

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------
Marketable securities are stated at fair value.  Securities
traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year;
investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which no sale was reported on the date are valued
at the average of the last reported bid and ask prices.  The fair
value of participation units in mutual funds is based on quoted
redemption values, which approximate fair value.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Note 3 - Priorities Upon Termination of the Plan
- ------------------------------------------------
The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.
In the event the Plan is completely or partially terminated or
the Company determines it will permanently discontinue making
contributions to the Plan, all property then credited to the
participant's accounts will immediately become fully vested and
nonforfeitable.  The Trustee will be directed to either continue
to hold the property in the participant's accounts in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan until such accounts would become
distributable under the provisions of the Plan, or distribute to
such participants all property allocated to their accounts.

Note 4 - Information Certified by Trustee
- -----------------------------------------
The Plan's investments are held in trust funds administered by
the Trustees.  Financial information relating to those
investments is included in the accompanying financial statements
and in the tables below based upon information provided by the
Trustees.

Note 6 - Note Payable
- ---------------------
During November 1995, the WesBanco ESOP Trust renegotiated its
existing line of credit with an affiliated lender.  Conditions of
the loan agreement remained the same, providing for a line of
credit in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 to facilitate
purchases of WesBanco common stock in the open market.  The loan
bears interest at a rate equal to the lender's base rate and
requires annual repayments of principal equal to 20% of the
balance at January 1 of each year.  The loan has a final maturity
date of 5 years from the date of inception.  The $1,000,000
revolving line of credit had a balance of $413,405 and $777,405
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Note 7 - Income Tax Status
- --------------------------
The Plan has applied for a determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service as to the qualified tax status of the Plan.  It
is anticipated that the Internal Revenue Service will make a
favorable determination and that the Plan will qualify under
Sections 401(k) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and will
not be subject to tax under the present income tax law.

Note 8 - Investments
