Part I 
Item 1. Business

A. General
American Bancorporation ("the Registrant or the Company") is a bank holding 
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The 
Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio on August 10, 
1966. The Registrant is engaged in the business of organizing, acquiring
and developing a system of affiliate banks and companies engaged in bank related
activities.  The Registrant presently owns all the capital stock of two 
commercial banks.

The Wheeling National Bank ("WNB") is a national banking association, organized 
in 1978, and acquired by the Company in 1988.  WNB is located in West Virginia 
and has offices in Wheeling, Weirton, New Martinsville and Pine Grove. WNB 
employs 117 full time equivalent employees. At December 31, 1994, WNB had total 
assets of $176.5 million. 

The Columbus National Bank ("CNB") was formerly known as Quaker City National 
Bank and was acquired by the Company in 1982.  CNB, with its headquarters 
situated in Franklin County, conducts its operations through offices in St. 
Clairsville, Flushing, Shadyside, Morristown, Barnesville, Freeport, Cambridge, 
Quaker City, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Steubenville and Columbus, Ohio.  CNB has 89
full time equivalent employees and was chartered as a national bank in 1872.  
At December 31, 1994, CNB had total assets of $157.9 million.
      
WNB and CNB conduct general commercial banking businesses. Assisting 
individuals, business and government, the banks provide a full range of 
depository services including demand, savings and time deposits, negotiable 
order of withdrawal and money market deposit accounts and lending services 
including mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. WNB is also authorized to 
exercise fiduciary powers.

In addition to its bank affiliates, the Company has organized four non-bank 
subsidiaries. The non-bank subsidiaries are authorized to provide various 
services including: data processing, equipment and real estate leasing, transfer
agent services to affiliates and mortgage banking.  American Mortgages, Inc., 
("AMI") which is located in Wheeling, West Virginia, conducts mortgage banking 
activities including making and servicing mortgage loans.  AMI employs 12 full 
time equivalent employees.  American Bancdata Corporation ("ABD") provides data 
processing services to the Company and the affiliate banks.  ABD employs 5 full 
time equivalent employees.


B. Supervision and Regulation
 1. Registrant

The activities of the Registrant are governed by the provisions of the Bank 
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, the "Act", and the regulations 
promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
The Act requires the submission of bank holding companies to the supervision
and examination of the Board of Governors. Pursuant to the obligations imposed 
by the Act, the Registrant files  annual and interim reports and such additional
information as the Board of Governors may require.

Prior approval of the Board of Governors is required for any acquisition by the 
Registrant of substantially all the assets of any bank, or the ownership or 
control of any voting shares of any bank, if, after such acquisition, it would 
own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of 
such bank. As an Ohio bank holding company, the Registrant is not permitted to 
acquire voting shares of a bank located in another state unless that state has 
specifically authorized such an acquisition by statute. The Board of Governors, 
in evaluating a proposed acquisition, is required to examine the effects on 
competition as well as the public interest to be served.

The Registrant is prohibited from acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of
any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any business, other than 
banking or performing services for its subsidiaries, without the prior approval 
of the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is authorized to approve,
among other things, the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any 
company, the activities of which the Board of Governors has determined to be so 
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper 
incident thereto. In making such a determination, the Board of Governors is 
required to weigh the expected benefit to the public, such as greater 
convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, against the risks of 
possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased 
or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.

In October, 1988 Ohio's regional interstate banking restrictions ended and 
reciprocal nationwide banking became permitted, with any state having interstate
banking laws paralleling Ohio's.

The Riegal-Neal Interstate Banking and Efficiency Act of 1994, Public Law 
103-328, provides that, among other things, substantially all state law barriers
to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies will be 
eliminated effective September 29, 1995.  The law will also permit interstate
branching by banks effective as of June 1, 1997, subject to the ability of 
states to opt out completely or to set an earlier effective date.  The Company 
anticipates that the effect of the new law may be to increase competition within
the market in which the Company operates, although the Company cannot predict 
the effect to which competition will increase in such markets or the timing of 
such increase.

2. Banking Affiliate of the Registrant

The subsidiary banks have national charters and accordingly, are subject to the 
National Banking Act and supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the 
Currency. The subsidiary banks are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation and are subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

Areas subject to regulation by Federal authorities include reserves on deposits,
interest rates and other terms of deposits, investments, loans, payment of 
dividends, establishment of branches and other aspects of operations, as well 
as mergers and the issuance of securities.

The banks make loans subject to state usury laws that provide maximum interest 
rates that may be charged for specific classes of loans. The banks are also 
subject to a variety of other laws which impose limitations on loans to a single
borrower, to insiders, and to others, and to other laws which impose various
requirements concerning certain types and classes of loans.

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions 
imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the bank 
holding company or any of its subsidiaries; on investments in the stock or other
securities thereof and; on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral 
for loans to any borrower.  Further, under the Bank Holding Company Act and 
regulations of the Board of Governors, a bank holding company and its 
subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in 
connection with any extension of credit, sale of property or furnishing of 
services. The Act further requires that any bank controlled by a bank holding 
company be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.


C. Government Monetary Policy and Conditions Affecting the Industry
The earnings of commercial banks, and consequently the earnings of the 
Registrant, are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including 
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An important function of 
the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of money and credit
in an effort to prevent recession and restrain inflation. Among the vehicles 
used to achieve these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government 
securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, changes in 
reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and limitations on interest 
rates which member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These policies 
are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution 
of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use also affects interest 
rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant impact
on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to 
continue to do so in the future. The effect, if any, of such policies upon the 
future business and earnings of the Registrant cannot be predicted.

The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 
significantly changed the regulatory environment of financial institutions in 
the United States. Regulations implementing the 1980 Act included (i) 
significant changes in reserve requirements and the services provided by the 
Federal Reserve System; (ii) phased elimination of the regulation limiting the 
rate of interest payable on savings and time deposits; (iii) validation of NOW 
accounts, automatic transfer accounts, and share draft accounts; and
(iv) significant changes in the types of loans and the nature of the services 
which thrift institutions can offer to the public.

On August 9, 1989, the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement 
Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") established a mechanism for providing funding for the 
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") and authorizes the RTC to act as receiver 
to liquidate savings associations placed in receiverships.  It is possible that 
the activities of RTC could result in a significant reduction in the size of the
thrift industry and increased concentration of business of depository 
institutions in the hands of large depository institutions and holding 
companies.  FIRREA allows both bank and savings and loan holding companies to 
acquire savings associations.  It is also possible that RTC's activities could 
impact upon the market value of real estate in areas where a large number of 
savings associations are placed into receivership.


In 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 
("FDICIA") was enacted, which among other things, was intended to protect the 
federal deposit insurance fund by requiring regulators to take specific prompt 
actions with respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital standards.
FDICIA requires Federal regulators to promulgate regulations to implement the 
law's provisions. Certain of these egulations became effective in 1992, 
including the adoption by federal regulatory agencies of definitions of the five
capital tiers which define the implementing regulation for each institution, 
while others became effective in 1993.

Under FDICIA, new regulations became effective governing the receipt of broker 
deposits based on the institutions capital rating.  Other revisions included 
specific accounting and reporting requirements and risk-based assessments for 
FDIC insurance, which are based on the level of risk activities the institution 
is involved.  Some provisions include termination of "too big to fail" doctrine,
limitations on FDIC's payment of deposits at foreign branches and revised 
regulatory standards for, among other things, real estate lending and capital 
adequacy.  

D   Competition
The Registrant's affiliate banks compete in their areas with commercial banks 
and other financial intermediaries such as saving and loan associations, credit 
unions, consumer finance companies, factors and insurance companies. Competition
among banks is generally conducted, in an effort to expand deposits and credits.
The principal methods of bank competition are interest rates and services. The 
subsidiary banks pay interest on deposits and charge rates and fees on loans 
which are competitive in the general area served.

E. Personnel
The Registrant, its affiliate banks, and non-banking subsidiaries employed 228 
full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 1994.


F.  Miscellaneous
Research and development is not a significant portion of the Registrant's 
business. The Registrant has no foreign operations or income, no material 
patents, licenses, franchises or concessions, and materials are not essential 
to its business. Environmental regulations do not materially affect the capital 
expenditures, income or competitive position of the Registrant.

The Registrant's business is not subject to material seasonal fluctuation. The 
business of the Registrant's affiliate bank is not dependent on any one or a 
few customers. The Registrant, as a holding company, relies predominately on 
dividends from its affiliate banks and management fees from its affiliate banks 
for its working capital requirements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company and its non-banking subsidiaries conduct business from the Company's
administrative headquarters in Wheeling, West Virginia and the Banks conduct 
business from their various office locations. The net book value of the 
Company's office facilities, furniture and equipment, including leasehold
improvements and property held for future expansion (less accumulated 
depreciation and amortization) at December 31, 1994 was $8.7 million.  The 
Company does not believe that the termination of any of its leases would have a
material effect on its operations.

Listed below are the locations of the Company's executive offices and the Bank's
branch offices that were operating as of December 31, 1994, as well as proposed 
branch office locations.  All buildings are owned by the Company unless 
otherwise indicated.  Except as noted, the Company believes its property is 
suitable and adequate for its current and proposed needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Registrant and its affiliates are not involved in any material pending 
legal proceedings outside the normal conduct of business (including proceedings 
arising from environmental quality statutes) to which the Registrant is a party,
or of which its property is the subject, nor are any proceedings known to be
contemplated, except as follows.

On March 7, 1995, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West 
Virginia entered an Order granting Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment 
against American Bancorporation Retirement Plan, resolving a dispute concerning 
the proper earnings formula used to determine the retirement benefits due
a former employee of the Registrant and its affiliated subsidiaries.  The 
Registrant has appealed this Order. The Registrant is unable to conclude whether
it will prevail on appeal.  Accordingly, pending resolution of the appeal, the 
Registrant has recalculated the benefits for vested Plan participants and 
determined that an additional $500,000 should be reserved for the Plan's 
probable additional liability under the grant of Summary Judgment.  This amount 
has been charged to earnings in 1994.  See Note Q of Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.
