ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INTRODUCTION

The following areas of discussion pertain to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of LNB Bancorp, Inc. (The Parent
Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lorain National Bank (The Bank)
at June 30, 2000, compared to December 31, 1999 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the three and six months ending June 30,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  The term "the Corporation"
refers to LNB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  It is the
intent of this discussion to provide the reader with a more thorough
understanding of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and supporting schedules, and should be read in conjunction with those
unaudited 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.

In an effort to take advantage of the recently passed Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, otherwise known as the financial modernization act, LNB Bancorp, Inc.
has applied for, and received, one of the first charters as a financial
holding company.  The Act enables financial holding companies to engage in
business activities previously unavailable to them. The Corporation will
also be able to offer new products and services as they are developed and
approved by regulators.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. is strategically reviewing its
new business opportunities under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

LNB Bancorp, Inc. achieved a significant milestone in its history by the
listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.  The NASDAQ
listing will provide greater liquidity for our stock while enhancing our
visibility in the investment community.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10Q, the words or phrases "are expected to", "will
continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "projected", or similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including
changes in economic conditions in the Corporation's market area, changes
in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand
for loans, and competition, that could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or
projected.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000,
the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 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.  The consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been taken from the audited
Financial Statements and condensed.  It is suggested that these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's
December 31, 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Because some loans may not be repaid in full, a reserve for 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 loan
losses that are currently anticipated based on Management's evaluation of
several key factors 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 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 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.

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 loan losses or by a provision for loan losses,

depending upon the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses.

4. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Board of Directors adopted a dividend reinvestment and cash stock
purchase plan on November 18, 1997.  Under the plan, the first dividend
reinvestment and cash stock purchase date was April 1, 1998.  The plan
allows shareholders to elect to use their quarterly cash dividends to
purchase shares of LNB Bancorp, Inc. common stock.  Additionally, cash can
be contributed directly to the plan for the purchase of shares of common
stock with a quarterly limit of $5,000.

The dividend reinvestment plan authorized the sale of 150,000 shares of
the Corporation's authorized but previously unissued common shares to
shareholders who choose to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends
plus additional cash payments.  No shares were issued by the Corporation
pursuant to the plan in the first half of 2000.  In the first half of
2000, stock was purchased in the open market at the then current market
price.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Corporation increased $14,507,000 during the first
half of 2000, to $614,118,000. This growth was funded by increases in
savings deposits, market access accounts, certificates of deposit and
repurchase agreements.

Total earning assets increased 2.8% to $567,701,000 at June 30, 2000 from
$552,155,000 at December 31, 1999.  The ratio of earning assets to total
assets increased from 92.1% at December 31, 1999 to 92.4% at June 30,
2000.  The loan to deposit ratio has decreased from 91.83% at 1999
year-end to 89.76% at June 30, 2000.

Federal funds sold and other interest bearing investments decreased by
$6,284,000 during the first six months of 2000. This decrease is the
result of the bank eliminating its excess liquidity which was built up for
Y2K purposes.

Total securities increased $1,924,000 ending the first half at
$125,243,000. At June 30, 2000 gross unrealized gains (losses) in the
investment portfolio were approximately $44,000 and $(4,732,000),
respectively.  The decrease in the market value of the securities
portfolio is due to market interest rate fluctuations and not due to the
deterioration of the credit worthiness of debt issuers.

Net loans increased $19,705,000 during the first half to $435,544,000 at
June 30, 2000, for a 5% increase.  Commercial loan growth was strong
accounting for 79% of total loan growth while mortgage and consumer loans
accounted for 14% and 6%, respectively, of total loan growth during the
six months ended June 30, 2000.  This loan increase was supported by a
spring/summer home equity loan sale program.  This home equity sale
program resulted in new loans totaling over $2 million.

The reserve for loan losses ended the quarter at $4,868,000 supported by a
provision for loan losses of $600,000, recoveries of $134,000 and loan
charge-offs of $533,000. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of
ending loans was 1.11% and 1.11% at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000,
respectively. Corporate management believes that the reserve for loan
losses as a percentage of ending loans at June 30, 2000 remains at an
appropriate level.  The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to
nonperforming assets improved to 557.6% as of June 30, 2000.  Also,
Corporate management believes that the current level of the reserve for
loan losses is adequate based upon quantitative analysis of identified
risks and analysis of historical trends, and probable losses inherent in
the loan portfolio at June 30, 2000.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2000 totaled $873,000, down from
$1,439,000 at March 31, 2000.  The second quarter decrease in
nonperforming assets of $566,000 resulted from loans being brought current
in the amount of $880,000, loans charged-off in the amount of $000,000
liquidations of nonaccrual loans of $208,000 and increases in nonaccrual loans
of $276,000.

The level of nonperforming assets increased by $100,000 during the first
quarter of 2000.  This increase is the result of an increase in nonaccrual

<PAGE>18
loans of $196,000 as well as by a decrease in other foreclosed assets
owned in the amount of $96,000. The increase in nonaccrual loans is due to
decreases in nonaccrual principal balances of $227,000 which have been
paid off or brought current, loans charged-off in the amount of $170,000
and liquidations of nonaccrual loans of $92,000 and increases in
nonaccrual principal balances of $685,000 which includes one large
commercial loan credit of $384,000 and several small commercial and
consumer loan credits.  The decrease in nonaccrual loans in the first
quarter of 2000 was due primarily to one commercial loan customer and 28
personal loan customers.  The decrease in Other Foreclosed Assets in the
amount of $96,000 resulted from liquidation of one residential property.
The level of nonperforming assets 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.

Potential problem loans are those loans identified on management's watch
list in which Management has some doubt as to the borrower's ability to
comply with the present repayment terms and loans which Management is
actively monitoring due to changes in the borrower's financial condition.
At June 30, 2000, potential problem loans totaled $6,078,000, a decrease
of $67,000 from the December 31, 1999 balance.  The decrease in potential
problem loans during 2000 is primarily due to decreases from consumer
indirect automobile loans.

The Corporation's credit policies are reviewed and modified on an ongoing
basis in order to remain suitable for the management of credit risk within
the loan portfolio as conditions change.  At June 30, 2000 there are no
significant concentrations of credit in the loan portfolio.

The Corporation had outstanding loan and credit commitments to make loans
totaling $100,136,000 and $87,614,000 at June 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively.  The increase in outstanding loan commitments results
in part from an increase in the unused portion of home equity lines of
credits from a home equity loan sale program in the second quarter of
2000.  Mortgage and commercial construction loan demand increased in the
second quarter of 2000 as seasonal weather conditions improved and the
construction season began.  Consumer loan demand increased in the second
quarter as demand for home improvement and automobile loans increased.


<PAGE>19
Total deposits increased $32,711,000 during the first half to
$489,542,000. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $86,805,000, at
June 30, 2000 for an increase of $6,131,000, while interest-bearing
deposits climbed to $402,737,000 for an increase of $26,560,000.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
decreased $9,744,000 during the first half.  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 investment
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 June 30,
2000, short-term security investments with maturities of one year or less
totalled $7,978,000, which represented 6.4% of total securities. Adding
cash and due from banks of $27,094,000, and Federal Funds sold and other
interest bearing instruments of $3,036,000, total liquid assets
represented 6.2% of total assets.  The Corporation's subsidiary bank has
established short-term lines of credit at correspondent banks, the Federal
Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in the amounts of
$16,000,000, $25,000,000 and $24,872,000, respectively, with credit
available in the amounts of $12,000,000, $6,000,000 and $24,827,000,
respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

LNB Bancorp, Inc. continues to maintain a strong capital position. Total
shareholders' equity increased to $53,011,000, at June 30, 2000. The
increase resulted primarily from $4,100,000 of net income generated from
the first half of operations less a cash dividend declared to shareholders
of $2,000,000.  The increase in interest rates experienced in the first
half of 2000 has caused a decrease in the overall market value of
available for sale securities which resulted in a decrease in
shareholders' equity of $159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
As of June 30, 2000, the LNB Bancorp, Inc. held 100,000 shares of common
stock as treasury stock.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. purchased 2,004 of these
shares in the first quarter of 1998 and 97,996 shares in 1997 for a total
cost of $2,900,000.

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 along with the ratios required to be adequately
capitalized have exceeded the ratios for a well-capitalized financial
institution for all periods presented above.  The Corporation's capital
and leverage ratios as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 follow together with

<PAGE>20
those ratios required for the Corporation to be considered adequately
capitalized.
                                                            June 30,

The Corporation regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities and conducts
due diligence activities in connection with possible acquisition in
markets near or within the Corporation's current geographic market.  As a
result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases, take place and future
acquisitions could occur.  Corporate management believes that it's current
capital resources are sufficient to support any foreseeable acquisition
activity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest and fees on loans for the first half of 2000 increased $2,216,000
when compared to the first half of 1999.  Increased loan income resulted
from the impact of increases in the loan portfolio of $19,906,000 and by
increases in interest rates.  Interest and dividends on securities was
$3,714,000 for the first half of 2000 for an increase of $185,000 over the
same period in 1999.  Interest and dividends on securities represented
16.6% of total interest income at June 30, 2000 compared to 17.6% at June
30, 1999.  Interest on Federal funds sold and short-term investments was
$85,000 at June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.

Total interest expense increased by $1,619,000 when compared to the first
half of 1999. The interest expense increase was fueled by increases in
deposit account interest of $1,253,000 and an increase in interest expense
from Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $62,000.  Also, total interest
expense for the first half of 2000 was impacted by increases in interest
rates paid on savings accounts, market access accounts, certificate of
deposit accounts and repurchase agreements when compared to the first half
of 1999.

Total other income increased by $34,000 when compared to the first half
of 1999.  This increase resulted from increases in income from fiduciary
fees of $43,000, increases in service charges of $20,000, increases in
other service charges, and exchanges and fees of $163,000 and decreases
in other income of $163,000.

The Corporation continuously monitors noninterest expenses for greater
profitability.  The entire staff is geared to improving productivity at
all levels.  Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $10,740,000, 4.2% above the first six months of 1999.   This increase
was due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits, and increases in
credit card and merchant expenses.

The effective tax rate increased slightly from 34.0% during the first half
of 1999 to 34.2% during the first half of 2000.  The increase in the
effective tax rate is due primarily to the decreases in tax exempt

<PAGE>21
interest income to total interest income.  Net income was $4,100,000 and
$3,796,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Net income per basic and diluted share was $.97 and $.90 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, after giving effect for
a two percent stock dividend payable July 1, 2000.

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.

GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999

In February of 2000, the Corporation filed an application with the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland to be regulated as a financial holding company.
In March of 2000, LNB Bancorp, Inc. received approval to operate as a
financial holding company.  The Corporation is strategically reviewing its
new business opportunities under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

PART I - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from
adverse changes in market indices such as interest rates, foreign exchange
rates and equity prices.  The Corporation's principal market risk exposure
is interest rate risk, with no material impact on earnings from changes in
foreign exchange rates or equity prices.  There have been no material
changes in the asset and liability mix of the Corporation since December
31, 1998, which would impact the Corporation's level of market risk.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in market interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest
rates and net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of
assets and liabilities.  The Corporation monitors the interest rate
sensitivity of its on - and - off balance sheet positions by examining its
near-term sensitivity and its longer term gap position.  Corporate
management has determined no significant changes in the Corporation's
interest rate risk profile since December 31, 1999.

With the Federal Reserve Board's recent announcements to increase the
prime lending rate by 25 basis points to 8.75% on February 3, 2000, and
increase by 25 basis points to 9.00% on March 22, 2000 and subsequent
increase by 50 basis points to 9.50% on May 16, 2000, the Corporation does
not anticipate any significant changes in the net interest margin.  Also,
Corporate management does not anticipate any significant changes in the
Corporation's market risk of interest rate risk portfolio.

Message to Shareholders

  It's a pleasure, once again, to report on the progress of LNB Bancorp,
Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Lorain National Bank, after the
first half of 2000.  During the first half of 2000, LNB Bancorp, Inc.
reached record milestones in earnings, assets, and dividends.  We have
also achieved growth in deposits, loans, and shareholders' equity.
  We are pleased to announce that earnings have increased 8 percent for
the first half of the year, compared to the same period one year ago.
Earnings for the first half of 2000 reached $4,100,000, up from $3,796,000
during the first half of 1999.  Second quarter's earnings for 2000
surpassed the $2-million mark for the first time for any quarter in the
history of LNB Bancorp, Inc. reaching $2,120,000 compared with
$1,963,000 for the second quarter of 1999.
  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2000 reached
$.97, an 8 percent increase over the $.90 amount reported for the first
half of 1999.  Earnings for the first half of 2000 were higher than a year
ago because of higher net interest income and noninterest income, offset
in part by slightly higher operating expenses.  Increases in net interest
income for the first half of 2000 were fueled by strong commercial loan
growth.
  Cash dividends declared per share for the first half of 2000 increased
9 percent compared to the first half of 1999.  The year to date cash
dividends declared per share in 2000 increased by $.04 to $.47 per share,
up from $.43 per share in 1999.  Second quarter 2000 regular cash
dividends surpassed the one-million dollar mark for the first time in the
Bancorp's history.
  In addition, we are pleased to announce that a two percent stock
dividend was paid to shareholders on July 1, 2000.  The stock dividend
increased the common stock outstanding of LNB Bancorp, Inc. by 82,562
shares to 4,210,646 shares.  Cash was issued in lieu of fractional shares.
  Assets eclipsed the $600 million mark for the first time in the history
of the Bancorp climbing 4 percent to $614.1 million, as of June 30, 2000,
up $23.6 million from June 30, 1999.  Net loans grew by $27.5 million from
one year ago to $434.6 million at June 30, 2000 for a 7 percent increase.
Commercial loan growth was strong accounting for most of the total loan
growth during the twelve months ended June 30, 2000.
  Deposits climbed 6 percent to $489.5 million, up $25.3 million from one
year ago.  Increases in demand, market access and certificates of deposit
accounted for the deposit increase.  Lorain National Bank operates 21
retail branches and 28 ATMs in nine local communities.
  Shareholders' equity increased by $3.4 million during the twelve months
ended June 30, 2000 for a 7 percent increase.  Shareholders equity
amounted to $53.0 million or $12.59 per share at June 30, 2000, compared
with $49.6 million or $12.04 per share at June 30, 1999.  The annualized
return on average shareholders' equity rose .33 basis points to 15.86
percent for the first half of 2000 from 15.53 percent for the first half
of 1999.
  For our shareholders seeking investor information electronically, our
newly-revised investor relations section of our web site can be viewed at
www.4LNB.com.
  We appreciate and thank you for your continuing support and look forward
to addressing you after the completion of our third quarter of operations.

  Despite the world's fast-paced advances in information technology,
today's consumer still remains largely dependent on traditional means of
communication.  Recognizing that fact, Lorain National Bank recently
enhanced its customer communications plan during the second quarter of
2000 by adding "merchandising" messages to all of its full-service bank
lobbies.
  Merchandising is not new.  In fact, it's arguable that merchandising has
been around in some form since the inception of retail sales.  If you're
not familiar with the term, you're probably familiar with the look -
virtually all retail establishments at shopping centers and malls employ
merchandising signs and posters to communicate sales events or special
pricing.
  While not really new to Lorain National, the size and quantity of
merchandising messages has changed dramatically.
  "We have taken this opportunity to add another important layer of
communication to our customers while they are in our lobbies," says James
H. Weber, Sr. V.P., Marketing.  "It's an important addition to our offices
because it adds an unspoken element to our communications mix."
  Lorain National sees branch merchandising as an addition to, not a
substitute for dialogue between customers and bank service
representatives.  The fact is, bank customers spend very little time in
bank lobbies when not transacting business.  In an effort to capture their
attention, entering or exiting the banking office, or while waiting for
service, the bank has an opportunity to alert customers of current
specials or new products.
  During the third quarter of this year, Lorain National Bank is promoting
its relatively new investment vehicle, the Market Access Account.  Market
Access is a deposit account which features tiered market rates and comes
bundled with a free interest-bearing checking account, a Visa Gold credit
card and a BetterWay Reserve overdraft line of credit.  It's a product
designed to offer customers a relatively liquid, high-interest account to
park investment or savings dollars.
  Lorain National's merchandising consists of wall signs and cards, teller
window signs and free-standing posters adjacent to literature racks.  The
artwork applied to the merchandising is designed to mesh with the graphic
style used on bank literature - which is currently being re-printed with
a "family" appearance.  The entire merchandising program works in
conjunction with advertising media employed outside the bank.
  Currently, Lorain National employs several forms of advertising
communication, including an Internet web site (www.4LNB.com), daily and
weekly newspapers, outdoor billboards, radio commercials and direct mail.
The artwork depicted above in miniature represents a typical branch
merchandising element currently in use.
