                        Independent Auditors' Report
                        ----------------------------
The Board of Directors
The Lorain National Bank
Sponsor of The Lorain National Bank
  Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
distribution to participants of The Lorain National Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of changes in assets available for distribution to
participants for the years then ended.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan'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 assets available for distribution to participants
of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in those assets
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 basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes at December 31, 1995, and party-in-interest
and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                           THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK
                         EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1995 and 1994



(1)  Description of the Plan
     -----------------------

     The following description of The Lorain National Bank Employee Stock
     Ownership Plan (Plan) provides only general information.  Participants
     should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of
     the Plan's provisions.

     (a)   General
           -------

           The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by The Lorain
           National Bank (Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of LNB
           Bancorp, Inc., covering substantially all employees of the Bank.
           An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan after the
           attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service, as
           defined in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
           Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

           Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust Department of the Bank acts
           as trustee for the Plan and, as such, manages a trust fund which
           includes all of the Plan's assets.  The trustee has been granted
           discretionary authority concerning purchases and sales of
           investments in the trust fund made from employer contributions.

     (b)   Bank Contributions
           ------------------

           The amount of the contribution is determined by the Bank's board of
           directors in its absolute discretion.  The Bank is not required to
           make a contribution in any specific year.  Contributions are
           allocated to participants' accounts in the proportion each
           participant's annual compensation bears to the total annual
           compensation of all participants for that plan year.

      (c)  Voluntary Contributions
           -----------------------

           The Plan does not permit voluntary contributions.

      (d)  Vesting
           -------

           Each participant's vested interest in the Bank's contribution is
           determined based on the number of years of service, as defined by
           the Plan.  Forfeitures of nonvested employer contributions are made
           available first to reinstate previously forfeited account balances
           of former participants.  The remaining forfeitures, if any, are used

      (e)  Distributions Upon Termination of Employment
           -------------------------------------------- 

           A participant whose employment terminates by reason of retirement
           on their early retirement date or on their normal retirement
           date, receives their vested benefits.  The participant may
           elect distribution of their vested benefits either in a single
           distribution or in annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly
           installments.

           A participant whose employment is terminated for any reason other
           than those designated above may receive a single distribution of
           their vested benefits.

      (f)  Plan Termination
           ----------------

           Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Bank has
           the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set
           forth in ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, the assets of
           the Plan will be allocated as prescribed by ERISA and its related
           regulations.

      (g)  Plan Administrator
           ------------------

           The plan administrator is the president and chief executive officer
           of the Bank.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      ------------------------------------------

      (a)  Basis of Presentation
           ---------------------

           The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared
           on an accrual basis of accounting.

      (b)  Investments
           -----------

           The fair value of investments and changes therein are determined
           through the use of current quoted market values.  Purchases and
           sales are recorded on a trade date basis.  Interest income is
           recorded on the accrual basis.

       (c) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
           ------------------------------------------------------------

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

                          Independent Auditors' Report
                          ---------------------------- 
The Board of Directors
The Lorain National Bank
Sponsor of The Lorain National Bank
 Stock Purchase Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
distribution to participants of The Lorain National Bank Stock Purchase
Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in assets available for distribution to participants for the
years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan'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 assets available for distribution to
participants of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes
in those assets 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 basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes at December 31, 1995 and party-in-interest
and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                               STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31, 1995 and 1994


(1)  Description of the Plan
     -----------------------

     The following description of The Lorain National Bank Stock Purchase
     Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer
     to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
     provisions.

     (a)  General
          -------

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by The Lorain
          National Bank (Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of LNB Bancorp,
          Inc., covering substantially all employees of the Bank.  An employee
          is eligible to participate in the Plan on the January 1 or July 1
          after the attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service,
          as defined in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
          Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          Under the terms of the Plan, the Trust Department of the Bank acts
          as trustee for the Plan and, as such, manages a trust fund which
          includes all of the Plan's assets.  The Plan stipulates that employer
          and employee contributions will be invested in units of the LNB
          Bancorp, Inc. stock fund which primarily consists of stock of
          LNB Bancorp, Inc.

     (b)  Bank Contributions
          ------------------

          The Bank is required to contribute to the Plan for each month, out
          of its current or accumulated earnings only, an amount equal to 50
          percent of the respective participants' contributions for each
          month.  In 1994, the contribution year was changed to reflect the
          calendar year.  As a result, thirteen monthly contributions were
          made in 1994.

     (c)  Participants' Contributions
          ---------------------------

          A participant can make, through payroll deductions, contributions
          of one (1) to six (6) percent (in whole integers) of their
          compensation.  Changes in the amount of compensation paid to a
          participant will automatically effect a change in the amount of
          the contribution.

     (d)  Vesting of Contributions
          ------------------------

          Each participant has a fully vested interest in the Bank's
          and their contributions as of the date payments are made.

                                                              (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

     (e)  Withdrawals While Employed
          --------------------------

          At any time, subject to certain restrictions, a participant may elect
          to withdraw all or a portion of their units.

     (f)  Distributions Upon Termination of Employment
          --------------------------------------------

          A participant whose employment terminates by reason of retirement
          on their early retirement date or on their normal retirement date,
          receives all units credited to their account.  The participant may
          elect distribution of the units either in a single distribution or
          in annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly installments.

          A participant whose employment is terminated for any reason other
          than those designated above may receive a single distribution of
          all units credited to the participant.

     (g)  Plan Termination
          ----------------

          Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Bank has
          the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set
          forth in ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, the assets of
          the Plan will be allocated as prescribed by ERISA and its related
          regulations.

     (h)  Plan Administrator
          ------------------

          The plan administrator is the president and chief executive officer
          of the Bank.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been
          prepared on an accrual basis of accounting.

     (b)  Investment
          ----------

          The fair value of the investment in LNB Bancorp, Inc. common stock
          and changes therein are determined through the use of current quoted
          market values.  Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date 
          basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

     (c)  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
          -----------------------------------------------------------

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates

                       Notes to Financial Statements

(3)  Federal Income Taxes
     --------------------

     The Internal Revenue Service issued its latest determination letter on
     September 17, 1985 which stated that the Plan and its underlying trust
     qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
     and therefore are exempt from federal income taxes.  The Plan and its
     underlying trust have subsequently been amended to conform with tax law
     changes.  In 1995, the amended Plan instruments were submitted to the
     Internal Revenue Service for a determination that the Plan continues to
     qualify as exempt from federal income taxes; however, a response is not
     anticipated until the mid-year of 1996.  In the opinion of the plan
     administrator, the Plan and its underlying trust have operated
     within the terms of the Plan and remain qualified under the applicable
     provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

(4)  Administrative Expenses
     -----------------------

     The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Bank.

(5)  Plan Units
     ----------

     The Plan assigned a total number of 902,497.2 and 983,458.7 units to
     participants at December 31, 1995 and 1994, with a per unit value of
     $4.0236 and $3.4785, respectively.
