NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INTRODUCTION
The following areas of discussion pertain to the condensed consolidated
financial statements of LNB Bancorp, Inc. at September 30, 1996, compared to
December 31, 1995, and the results of operations for the nine months ending
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. It is the intent of
this discussion to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the
condensed consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules, and should
be read in conjunction with those condensed consolidated financial statements
and schedules.
LNB Bancorp, Inc. is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that
might have a material effect on the soundness of operations; neither is LNB
Bancorp, Inc. aware of any proposed recommendations by regulatory authorities
which would have a similar effect if implemented.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the
condensed consolidated statements of income and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. The above mentioned statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's December 31, 1995
Annual Report to Shareholders.
The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet
date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
Because some loans may not be repaid in full, a reserve for possible loan losses
is recorded. This reserve is increased by provisions charged to earnings and is
reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Estimating the risk of loss on
any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the reserve is maintained by
Management at a level considered adequate to cover possible loan losses that are
currently anticipated based on Management's evaluation of several key factors
<PAGE>12
including information about specific borrower situations, their financial
position and collateral values, current economic conditions, changes in the mix
and levels of the various types of loans, past charge-off experience and other
pertinent information. The reserve for possible loan losses is based on
estimates using currently available information, and ultimate losses may vary
from current estimates due to changes in circumstances. These estimates are
reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in
earnings in the periods in which they become known. While Management may
periodically allocate portions of the reserve for specific problem situations,
the entire reserve is available for any charge-offs that may occur. Charge-offs
are made against the reserve for possible loan losses when Management concludes
that it is probable that all or a portion of a loan is uncollectible. After a
loan is charged-off, collection efforts continue and future recoveries may
occur.
The Corporation adopted the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" and SFAS No. 118 "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income Recognition and Disclosure" on January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 provides
guidelines for measuring impairment losses on loans. Under SFAS No. 114, a loan
is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is
probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present
value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans initial
effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured
for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. If the loan valuation
is less than the recorded value of the loan, an impairment reserve must be
established for the difference. The impairment reserve is established by either
an allocation of the reserve for possible loan losses or by a provision for
possible loan losses, depending upon the adequacy of the reserve for possible
loan losses. SFAS No. 118 permits existing income recognition practices to
continue.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 1996 presentation.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" on January 1, 1996.
This Statement establishes accounting for long-lived assets. Corporate
management determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a
significant impact on the carrying value of the long-lived assets or on net
income during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
on January 1, 1996. This Statement provides elective accounting for stock-based
employee compensation arrangements using a fair value model. Companies
currently accounting for such arrangements under APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," may continue to do so. In accordance with SFAS No.
123, the Corporation has elected to continue to report Stock-Based compensation
under APB Opinion 25. Under APB Opinion 25, if the option is fixed and the
exercise price of the underlying stock equals the market price on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Corporate management has
determined that the adoption on SFAS No. 123 will have no effect on the
Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. However, SFAS No.
123 will increase year-end disclosure requirements for stock-based compensation.
<PAGE>13
2. PER SHARE DATA
Earnings per common and common equivalent shares (stock options) have been
computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each
period after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of incentive stock
options, a two percent stock dividend and a five-for-four stock split which
were approved by shareholders during 1996 and 1995, respectively.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATION
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Corporation increased $11,984,000 during the first nine
months, to $433,587,000. A portion of this growth is attributable to the
cyclical influx of municipal county tax money.
Federal funds sold and other interest bearing investments remained at
$102,000 during the first nine months of 1995.
Total securities decreased $597,000 ending the third quarter at $103,969,000.
At September 30, 1996 unrealized gains (losses)in the investment securities
portfolio were approximately $524,000 and ($575,000), respectively.
Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1996 totaled $980,000, up from $108,000 at
June 30, 1996. The third quarter increase in nonperforming assets of
$872,000 resulted from loans being brought current in the amount of $53,000,
loans charged-off in the amount of $4,000, reductions of other real estate
owned of $0,000 and increases in nonaccrual loans of $929,000. The increase in
nonaccrual loans in the third quarter of 1996 was due primarily to two
commercial loan customers.
The level of nonperforming assets at September 30, 1996 remains at relatively
low levels and Corporate management believes nonperforming assets are well
collateralized. The table below presents the level of nonperforming assets at
the end of the last four calendar quarters.
Amounts in thousands 09/30/96 06/30/96 03/31/96 12/31/95
-------- -------- -------- --------

Other Real Estate Owned 39 39 95 0

======== ====== ====== =======
Accruing loans past due
90 days 396 243 183 0
====== ====== ====== ======
Net loans increased $20,477,000 during the first nine months to $292,968,000 at
September 30, 1996. The reserve for possible loan losses ended the quarter at
$4,112,000 supported by a provision for loan losses of $425,000, recoveries of
$164,000 and loan charge-offs of $479,000. The reserve for possible loan losses
as a percentage of ending loans decreased .02% from 1.40% at December 31, 1995
to 1.38% at September 30, 1996. Corporate management believes that the current
level of the reserve for possible loan losses is adequate based upon
quantitative analysis of identified risks and analysis of historical trends.
The Corporation's credit policies are reviewed and modified on an on-going basis
in order to remain suitable for the management of credit risk within the loan
portfolio as conditions change. At September 30, 1996, there are no significant
concentrations of credit in the loan portfolio.
<PAGE>15
The Corporation had outstanding loan and credit commitments to make loans
totalling $62,933,000 and $61,718,000 at September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The consistent outstanding loan and credit commitments balance
from 1995 to 1996 results from loan demand due to good local economic
conditions.
Total deposits increased $7,009,000 during the first nine months to
$360,464,000. Non-interest bearing deposits increased to $63,175,000, at
September 30,1996 for an increase of $3,012,000, while interest bearing deposits
climbed to $297,289,000 for an increase of $3,997,000. Federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $4,277,000 during
the first nine months of 1996. Due to the volatility of customer repurchase
agreements, most funds generated by repurchase activity enter the Corporation's
earning assets as short-term investments.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity measures a corporation's ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain
funds at reasonable prices to fund commitments to borrowers as well as the
demand of depositors and debt holders. Principal internal sources of liquidity
for the Corporation and the Bank are cash and cash equivalents, Federal funds
sold, and the maturity structures of investments securities and portfolio loans.
Securities and loans available for sale provide another source of liquidity
through the cash flows of these interest bearing assets as they mature or are
sold.
The Corporation continues to maintain a relatively high liquid position in order
to take advantage of interest rate fluctuations. As of September 30, 1996,
short-term security investments with maturities of one year or less totalled
$24,427,000 which represented 23.5% of total securities. Adding cash and due
from banks of $19,404,000, total liquid assets represented 10.1% of total
assets. The Corporation's subsidiary bank has established short-term lines
of credit at correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank which exceed
$15,000,000.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders' equity increased to $43,318,000, at September 30, 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from $4,280,000 of net income generated from the
first nine months of operations less a cash dividend payable to shareholders
of $1,805,000. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities",
requires that securities which the Bank has classified as "Available-for-Sale"
are recorded at market value with any adjustments recorded to equity. The
increase in interest rates experienced in the first three quarters of 1996 has
caused a decrease in the market value of these securities which resulted in a
reduction of shareholders' equity of $75,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
The Corporation continues to monitor growth to stay within the constraints
established by the regulatory authorities. Under Federal banking regulations,
an institution is deemed to be well-capitalized if it has a Risk-based Tier 1
capital ratio of 6.00 percent or greater, a Risk-based Total capital ratio of
10.00 percent or greater and a Leverage ratio of 5.00 percent or greater. The
Corporation's Risk-based capital and Leverage ratios have exceeded the ratios
for a well-capitalized financial institution for all periods presented.
<PAGE>16
The Corporation's capital and leverage ratios as of September 30, 1996 and 1995
follow.
September 30
-----------------
1996 1995
------ ------
Tier I capital ratio 16.71% 17.02%
Required Tier I capital ratio 4.00% 4.00%
Total capital ratio 17.96% 18.27%
Required total capital ratio 8.00% 8.00%
Leverage ratio 10.26% 9.90%
Required leverage ratio 3.00% 3.00%
On an ongoing basis the Corporation analyzes acquisition opportunities in
markets which are adjacent to or within the Corporation's current geographical
market. Corporate management believes that it's current capital resources are
sufficient to support any foreseeable acquisition activity.
The Corporation has filed an application with the Comptroller of Currency to
secure approval for a branch office in Westlake.
There were no material commitments outstanding at September 30, 1996, other than
the loan and credit commitments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest and fees on loans increased by $730,000 when compared to the first nine
months of 1995. This was the net result of the impact of slight increases in
rates in conjunction with loan portfolio growth of $20,587,000. Interest and
dividends on securities was $4,762,000 for the first nine months of 1996 for an
increase of $319,000 over the same period in 1995. Interest and dividends on
securities represented 19.8% of total interest income at September 30, 1996
compared to 19.1% at September 30, 1995. Interest on Federal funds sold and
other interest bearing instruments was $162,000 at September 30, 1996 compared
to $171,000 at September 30, 1995. The decrease resulted from declining average
balances invested in this form of financial instrument along with lower interest
rates.
Total interest expense decreased by $102,000 when compared to the first nine
months of 1995. The decrease resulted from increases in average balances of
certificates of deposit and checkinvest accounts coupled with decreases in
interest rates paid on certificates of deposit and checkinvest accounts.
Total other income increased by $530,000 when compared to the first nine months
of 1995. This increase resulted from increases in income from fiduciary
fees of $45,000, increases in service charges of $399,000 and increases in other
charges of $43,000. The increase in service charges is due, in part, to
reevaluating the assessment of transaction account charges. The increase in
other charges is the result of pricing increases in credit card and merchant
fees. Other income increased by $64,000 and gains from sales of loans decreased
by $9,000 respectively.
The Corporation continuously monitors non-interest expenses for greater
profitability. The entire staff is geared to improving productivity at all
levels. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $12,453,000, 3.4% above the first nine months of 1995. This increase was due
primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy expense,
furniture and equipment expense, and the impacts of inflation.
The effective tax rate increased from 31.5% during the first nine months of 1995
to 33.1% during the first nine months of 1996. The increase in the effective
<PAGE>17
tax rate is due primarily to the decrease in tax exempt interest income. Net
income was $4,280,000 and $3,574,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Net income per share after adjusting for the two
percent stock dividend in 1996 and the five-for-four stock split in 1995 was
$1.03 and $.87 for the nine months ended September 1996 and 1995, respectively.
IMPACTS OF ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS
Corporate management is not aware of any current recommendations by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board or by regulatory authorities which,
if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the liquidity,
capital resources or operations of the Corporation. However, the
potential impact of certain accounting and regulatory pronouncements
warrant further discussion.
Significant actions by the Federal government and its agencies, affecting
the financial institutions industry in general, are currently having and
will continue to have an impact on the Corporation. A discussion of these
actions follows:
"Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993":
Effective date of impact on the Corporation: August 10, 1993
Impact on the Corporation: Although the cost of tax compliance will
increase, Corporate management does not anticipate that this tax act will
have a material impact on net income.
"The President's Reform Plan for the Savings and Loan Industry" and subsequent
action by the FDIC:
Effective date (direct impact on the Corporation): January 1, 1990
Impact on the Corporation: During 1993, a risk-related assessment system was
developed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Effective, January 1,
1993, the Bank was assigned to the lowest deposit insurance rate currently
possible. Under the system, the FDIC will reevaluate the Bank's deposit
insurance rate on a semi-annual basis. The FDIC approved a new rate schedule
due to the fact that the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) has reached its designated
reserve ratio. The new rates became effective September 15, 1995 and are
applied retroactive to June 1, 1995. The Bank was assigned the lowest deposit
insurance assessment rate under the September 15, 1995 guidelines. During the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Bank paid FDIC Deposit Insurance
Premiums of $1,000 compared to $351,000 for the same period in 1995. The lower
1996 FDIC Premium results from the new rate which was effective September 15,
1995.
