                           Report of Independent Auditors

Pension Committee
WesBanco, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the WesBanco, Inc. KSOP as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended.  These financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion of 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 misstatements.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in 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 benefits of the Plan
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, 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 purposes as of December 31, 1997,
and the reportable transactions 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 subjected 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.

                           Notes to Financial Statements



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).

WesBanco, Inc. is multi-bank holding company offering a full range of financial
services, including trust and mortgage banking services, through offices
located in West Virginia and Eastern Ohio.  During 1997 the Plan covered
substantially all employees of WesBanco, Inc. (the Company) who met the
eligibility requirements. 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.  A participant must complete at
least 1,000 hours of service in the year and be employed on December 31 of
each year.  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
periodic payments are 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 for the years 1997 and 1996
present separately the assets and liabilities and changes therein 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.

                       Notes to Financial Statements



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.

                      Notes to Financial Statements


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.

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 - Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
- ----------------------------------------------

Legal, accounting and other administrative fees are paid at the discretion of
the Sponsor by the Plan or Plan Sponsor.  The Plan is administered by the
Plan Sponsor.

                       Notes to Financial Statements


Note 5 - Note Payable
- ---------------------

During November 1995, the WesBanco ESOP Trust renegotiated its existing line
of credit with an affiliated lender.  Conditions of the loan agreement provide
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 $97,155
and $413,405 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Note 6 - 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.
