                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts
of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Commercial
and Savings Bank (together referred to as the "Company").  All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of CSB at June 30, 1998, and results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not contain all
necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the
circumstances.  The Annual Report for CSB for the year ended
December 31, 1997, contains consolidated financial statements and
related notes which should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company is engaged in the business of commercial and retail
banking and trust services, with operations conducted through its
main office and eight branches located in Millersburg, Ohio, and
nearby communities.  These communities are the source of
substantially all deposit, loan and trust activities.  The majority
of the Company's income is derived from commercial and retail
lending activities and investments in securities.

To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and
assumptions based on available information.  These estimates and
assumptions affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
the disclosures provided, and future results could differ.  The
allowance for loan losses, realization of deferred tax assets, fair
value of certain securities and determination and carrying value of
impaired loans are particularly subject to change.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance, increased by
the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less
recoveries.  Management estimates the allowance required based on
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. 
Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the
entire allowance is available for any loans that, in management's
judgement, should be charged-off.

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms
is not expected.  If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance
is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing interest
rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected
solely from the collateral.  Loans are evaluated for impairment when
payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when the
internal grading system indicates a doubtful classification.



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in
total.  Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured
by one- to four-family residences, residential construction loans
and automobile, home equity and second mortgage loans less than
$100,000.  Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other
properties are evaluated individually for impairment.

The Company records income tax expense based on the amount of tax
due on its tax return plus deferred taxes computed based on the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using
enacted tax rates.

Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," was adopted by the Company in 1997. 
SFAS 125 revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets
such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales
and secured borrowings.  The adoption of the portions of SFAS No.
125 relating to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other
similar transactions are not required to be adopted until 1998. 
SFAS 125 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

On April 30, 1998, a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100%
stock dividend was distributed to shareholders of record as of March
31, 1998.  All share and per share data was restated to reflect the
stock split. 

SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," became effective for the company
in 1997.  SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with complex capital
structures.  All prior EPS data has been restated to conform to the
new method.  Basic EPS is based on net income divided by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. 
Diluted EPS shows the dilutive effect of additional common shares
issuable under stock options.  The weighted average number of shares
outstanding for basic EPS was 2,637,702 and 2,631,830 for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 2,602,846 and
2,597,778 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997. 
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted EPS,
which includes the effect of stock options granted using the
treasury stock method, was 2,638,658 and 2,632,753 for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 2,603,538 and 2,598,470
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.  There was
no per share dilution as a result of the stock options in 1997 or
1998.




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

SFAS No. 129, "Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure,"
consolidated existing accounting guidance relating to disclosure
about a company's capital structure.  Public companies generally
have always been required to make disclosures now required by SFAS
129 and, therefore, SFAS 129 did not impact the Company's
disclosures.

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements.  SFAS 130 is effective for the
Company in 1998.  Reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required.  The
information required by SFAS 130 is included in these financial
statements.

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," changes the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires those enterprises report selected
information about reportable segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders.  It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers.  SFAS 131 becomes effective for the Company in 1998.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities"   SFAS 133 requires companies to record derivatives on
the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. 
Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the
derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  The key
criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must
be highly effective in achieving off-setting changes in fair value
or cash flows.  SFAS 133 does not allow hedging of a security which
is classified as held to maturity, accordingly, upon adoption of
SFAS 133, companies may reclassify any security from held to
maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to hedge the
security in the future.  SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999 with early adoption encouraged for any
fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 1998 or later, with no retroactive
application.  Management does not expect the adoption SFAS 133 to
have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

The Company borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to fund
certain fixed-rate residential real estate loans.  At June 30, 1998,
the Company had 189 outstanding borrowings from the FHLB.  These
borrowings carry fixed interest rates ranging from 5.60% to 7.15%
and maturities of 10, 15, and 20 years. The Company matches each
borrowing against a fixed-rate mortgage loan with a similar
maturity.  Monthly principal and interest payments are due on the
borrowings.  In addition, a principal curtailment of 10% of the
outstanding principal balance is due on the anniversary date of each
borrowing.  FHLB borrowings are collateralized by FHLB stock and a
blanket pledge on $15.9 million of qualifying mortgage loans at June
30, 1998.


NOTE 5   COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet customer
financing needs.  These financial instruments include commitments to
make or purchase loans, undisbursed lines of credit, undisbursed
credit card balances and letters of credit.  The Company's exposure
to credit loss in case of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments.  The Company follows the same credit policy to
make such commitments as it uses for those loans recorded on the
balance sheet.

At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, commitments to make loans,
primarily in the form of undisbursed portions of approved lines of
credit, amounted to approximately $30.4 million and $29.0 million,
substantially all of which carried adjustable rates of interest. 
Commitments under outstanding standby letters of credit amounted to
$747,000 at June 30, 1998 and $820,000 at December 31, 1997.  Since
many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount
does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.  Collateral
obtained relating to these commitments is determined using
management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include real
estate, vehicles, business assets, deposits and other items.

NOTE 5   COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, AND CONTINGENCIES
(Continued)

The Company sold $490,000 in residential mortgage loans during 1998
and $10.8 million during 1997.  The Company has agreed to repurchase
individual loans if they become delinquent by greater than ninety
days.  A recourse obligation has been established by management
based on past loan loss experience, and other factors.  This
liability is not material.

Occasionally, various contingent liabilities arise that are not
recorded in the financial statements, including claims and legal
actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion
of management, after consultation with legal counsel, ultimate
disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material
affect on financial condition or results of operations.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial
condition of CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) at June 30, 1998,
compared to December 31, 1997, and the consolidated results of
operations for the quarterly period ending June 30, 1998 compared to
the same period in 1997.  The purpose of this discussion is to
provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the
consolidated financial statements.  This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements
and related footnotes. 

Forward-looking statements contained in this discussion involve
risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various
important factors.  Actual results could differ from those expressed
or implied.  The Company is not aware of any trends, events or
uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a
material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations
except as discussed herein.  Also, the Company is not aware of any
current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have
such effect if implemented.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total securities decreased approximately $7.3 million during the
first half of 1998 as maturing investment securities were used to
fund loan activity.  Since one of the primary functions of the
securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity, it is
structured such that security maturities and cash flows satisfy the
Company's liquidity needs and asset-liability management
requirements.  At June 30, 1998, approximately 24% of the securities
portfolio matures within one year.

Total loans increased $6.9 million, or 3.8%, during the first six
months of 1998.  Residential real estate loans increased $3.5
million, or 7.2% and commercial loans increased $2.4 million, or
3.0%.  These increases were primarily a result of increased loan
demand in the Company's service area as the local economy remains
strong.  The commercial loans are generally variable-rate and based
on the Prime rate and may be unsecured or collateralized by business
or farm equipment.  These loans are generally of higher risk than
residential mortgage loans. 

As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.16% at
June 30, 1998 and 1.31% at December 31, 1997.  Impaired loans were
approximately $1.4 million, or 0.75% of total loans, at June 30,
1998, compared to 0.77% of loans at December 31, 1997.  These
credits are considered in management's analysis of the allowance for
loan losses.

Premises and equipment increased $493,000, or 13.7%, during the
first six months of 1998.  This was primarily due to the completion
of the Shreve office, which opened in March 1998.  Additional
investment was made in the design and plan of the new operations
center, which should be completed in 1999.

At June 30, 1998, the ratio of net loans to deposits was 75.9%,
compared to 73.5% at the end of 1997 due to the increase in loans
discussed earlier.  Total deposits increased $1.6 million, or 0.7%
during the first six months of 1998.  Historically, the Company has
experienced a decline in overall deposit balances during the first
half of the year. 

Total shareholders' equity was increased in part by year-to-date net
income of $2.2 million, less $527,000 of cash dividends declared. 
The cash dividend represents 24% of net income for the first half of
1998.  Also contributing to capital was the dividend reinvestment
program (DRIP) and the purchase of stock by the Company's 401(k)
retirement plan which increased equity approximately $536,000 during
the first half of 1998.  

The Company and its subsidiary meet all regulatory capital
requirements and are considered to be "well capitalized" at June 30,
1998.  The Company's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
was 17.23% at June 30, 1998, while Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
was 16.05%.  Regulatory minimums call for a total risk-based capital
ratio of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital.  The
Company's leverage ratio was 10.24% at June 30, 1998, which exceeds
the regulatory minimum of 3% to 5%.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $2.2 million,
or $0.84 per share, remaining comparable to $2.2 million or $0.83
per share earned during the same period last year, an increase of
$44,000, or 2.0%.  Second quarter net income was $1.1 million, or
$0.41 per share, in 1998, compared to $983,000, or $0.385 per share
for the second quarter of 1997.  The primary factor contributing to
this increase was the increase in net interest income.

Net interest income was $5.9 million for the first six months of
1998, a 6.7% increase from 1997.  Interest and fees on loans
increased $862,000, or 10.6%, which resulted primarily from a higher
average balance of loans.  Also, as deposit funds were invested in
securities from federal funds sold, interest on securities increased
$215,000 and other interest income decreased $244,000 for the first
half of 1998, compared to the first half of 1997. Net interest
income for the second quarter of 1998 totaled $3.0 million, up 6.8%
from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 1997.  Most of this
increase resulted from the increase in total loans.  Income from
taxable investments decreased $225,000 or 25.1% from the second
quarter of 1997 to 1998, while income from nontaxable securities
increased $123,000 or 35.7% for the same period.  

Interest expense increased $462,000, or 8.9% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. 
This increase was the result of increased volumes on interest-bearing accounts 
and slightly higher rates.  For the second quarter
of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, interest expense
increased $172,000 or 6.5%.  The changes were primarily volume
related.  

The provision for loan losses was $99,000 for the second quarter of
1998 and $196,000 during the first half of 1998, remaining virtually
unchanged from the provisions for comparable periods in 1997.  These
provisions were made in recognition of continued loan origination
volume, primarily in the commercial loan portfolio which typically
carries a higher risk of loan loss.

Other income for the first half of 1998 decreased approximately
$109,000, primarily as a result of the $220,000 gain on the sale of
loans in 1997 discussed above.  The decrease was partially offset by
an $84,000, or 39.1% increase in other income, primarily as a result
of an increase in trust and financial services income.  Noninterest
income for the second quarter of 1998 increased $51,000, or 17.5%. 


Other expenses increased $218,000 or 14.2% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and $311,000, or 10.2%, for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997.  Management
continues to monitor the Company's efficiency ratio by maintaining
increases in other operating costs at low levels.  Salaries and
employee benefits increased by 11.9% in the second quarter and 10.6%
for the six month period, and state franchise taxes increased as a
result of 1997 earnings retention.  The increase in salaries and
employee benefits is in part due to normal merit increases and the
staffing of the new branch office in Shreve, Ohio.  Ohio's state
franchise tax for financial institutions is based on the level of
capital at the previous year-end.  The provisions for income taxes
of $381,000 for the second quarter and $796,000 during the first
half of 1998 reflected an effective rate of 26.0% and 26.6%,
compared to effective rates of 31.9% and 29.1% for the same time
periods in 1997.  The decrease in effective rates resulted from
increased nontaxable interest income.

 
YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Many computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the
date field and were apparently designed and developed without
considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century.  Such
programs could erroneously read entries for the Year 2000 as the
Year 1900.  This could result in major systems failures and
miscalculations.  Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to
the operations of the financial institutions, such as the Company. 
The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee to assess the extent to
which its information technology, non information technology and its
outside vendors may be adversely affected by the Year 2000 problems. 
Management is in the process of determining which programs are or
will be capable of identifying the turn of the century.  The issue
is closely monitored by management and full compliance is expected
by the end of 1998.  While the Company does not anticipate that any
Year 2000 computer problems or expenses required to correct such
problems will materially affect its financial condition or results
of operations, no assurance can be given in this regard.  The
Company is in the process of designing a contingency plan for each
mission-critical application.  The completion of this plan is
scheduled for September 30, 1998.
