         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"
or "CSB").  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 March 31, 1999, and its
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not contain
all 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, 1998, 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.

While the Company's chief decision-makers monitor the revenue
streams of the various Company products and services, operations
are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-
wide basis.  Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations
are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable
operating segment.

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 loan that, in
management's judgment, should be charged-off.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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.

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 other consumer
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.

Basic earnings per share ("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 and diluted EPS
computations were as follows:

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" 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 offsetting changes in fair
value or cash flows.  The new standard does not allow hedging of a
security which is classified as held to maturity.  Upon adoption
of the standard, companies are allowed to transfer securities from
held to maturity to available for sale if they wish to be able to
hedge the securities in the future.  The standard 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 of this standard to have a significant impact
on the Company'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 March 31,
1999, 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. 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 the Company's FHLB stock and a blanket
pledge on $14.3 million of qualifying mortgage loans at March 31,
1999.


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.

Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used,
the aforementioned amounts do 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.

The Company sold $13.0 million in residential mortgage loans
during the first three months of 1999.  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.


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 March 31, 1999,
compared to December 31, 1998, and the consolidated results of
operations for the quarterly period ending March 31, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998.  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

Certain statements contained in this report that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject
to certain risks and uncertainties.  When used herein, the terms
"anticipates", "plans", "expects", "believes", and similar
expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  The
Company's actual results, performance or achievements may
materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-
looking statements.  Risks and uncertainties that could cause or
contribute to such material differences include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, interest rate
environment, competitive conditions in the financial services
industry, changes in law, governmental policies and regulations,
and rapidly changing technology affecting financial services.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $315.5 million at March 31, 1999, compared to
$317.5 million at December 31, 1998, representing a decrease of
$2.0 million or 0.6%.  Total securities increased approximately
$1.1 million during the quarter.  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 March 31, 1999, approximately 11.4%
of the securities portfolio matures within one year.

Total loans decreased $13.4 million, or 6.8%, to $184.2 million. 
This decrease was a result of the $13.0 million sale of
residential real estate loans previously identified as held for
sale.  Commercial loans decreased $1.5 million, or 1.8%, primarily
as a result of reduced demand for such loans in the local market
area.  Residential real estate loans, exclusive of the loan sale,
increased $1.2 million, or 2.1%. 

As a percentage of loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.90%
at March 31, 1999 and 1.47% at December 31, 1998.  Loans past due
more than 90 days and loans placed on nonaccrual status, were
approximately $2.2 million, or 1.2% of total loans at March 31,
1999, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.86% of loans at December 31,
1998.  These credits are considered in management's analysis of
the allowance for loan losses.

Premises and equipment increased $948,000, or 17.6%, during the
first quarter of 1999.  This was primarily due to the construction
of the new operations center, which should be completed in the
third quarter of 1999.

At March 31, 1999, the ratio of net loans to deposits was 67.6%,
compared to 72.9% at the end of 1998.  This decrease is due
primarily to the $13.0 million loan sale. 

Total shareholders' equity was increased in part by year-to-date
net income of $919,000, less $318,000 of cash dividends declared. 
The cash dividend represents 34.6% of net income for the first
quarter of 1999.  Also contributing to capital was the dividend
reinvestment program and the purchase of stock by the Company's
401(k) retirement plan.  As a result of these programs, equity
increased approximately $195,000 during the first quarter of 1999. 

The Company and its subsidiary met all regulatory capital
requirements at March 31, 1999.  The Company's ratio of total
capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.22% at March 31, 1999,
while Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 15.96%.  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 10.02% at March 31, 1999, which exceeds the regulatory
minimum of 3% to 5%.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 1999, was $919,000, or
$0.35 per share, as compared to $1.1 million, or $0.42 per share
earned during the same period last year, a decrease of $197,000,
or 17.7%.  The primary factors contributing to this decrease was
an increase in the provision for loan loss and in other expenses,
which were partially offset by an increase in other income.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $2.9
million, substantially the same as the first quarter of 1998. 
Interest and fees on loans increased $45,000, or 1.0%.  Also, as
deposit funds were invested in securities, interest on securities
increased $16,000, and other interest income increased by $57,000,
primarily due to a higher balance in federal funds sold.

Interest expense increased $129,000 to $2.9 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, compared to $2.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.  This increase was the result of
increased volumes on interest-bearing accounts and slightly higher
rates. 

The provision for loan losses was $648,000 during the first
quarter of 1999, an increase of $550,000 over the first quarter of
1998.  This additional provision was made in recognition of an
increase in impaired and nonperforming loans and loans adversely
classified in the Company's loan review system.

Other income increased approximately $354,000 primarily as a 
result of the gain on the sale of loans during the 1999 period.  
In the first quarter of 1999, $13.0 million of fixed rate mortgage
loans were sold, resulting in a gain of $303,000.  These loans had
previously been identified as held for sale.

Other expenses increased $157,000, or 9.9%, for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998. 
Management continues to monitor the Company's efficiency ratio by
controlling increases in other operating costs.  Salaries and
employee benefits increased by $58,000 or 7.2%, and other expenses
increased $101,000 or 20.4%.  This increase was primarily due to
increases in the merchant credit card program, and trust and
financial services, which also increased other income.  The
provision for income taxes of $249,000 during the first quarter of
1999 reflected an effective rate of 21.3%, as compared to 27.1%,
for the first quarter of 1998.  


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Certain statements contained in this section of Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations that are not related to historical results are forward-
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements involved a number
of risks and uncertainties.  Any forward-looking statements made
by the Company herein and in future reports and statements are not
guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements because of
various factors.  These factors include the ability of the Company
and its key service providers, vendors, suppliers, customers and
governmental entities to replace, modify or upgrade computer
systems in ways that adequately address the Year 2000 issue
discussed below.  Special factors that might cause actual results
to vary materially from the results anticipated include the
ability to identify and correct all relevant computer codes and
embedded chips, unanticipated difficulties or delays in the
implementation of the Company's plans and the ability of third
parties to adequately address their own Year 2000 issues.

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 financial institutions, such as the Company.

In 1997, the Company formed a Year 2000 Committee to assess the
extent to which its information and technology, noninformation
technology and its outside vendors may be adversely affected by
the Year 2000 problems.  Management has identified systems as
mission critical or nonmission critical.  Vendors of all mission-
critical systems have been contacted regarding the status of the
renovation and validation of the systems. The Company completed
all testing on mission-critical applications as of March 31, 1999.

In addition to reviewing its own systems, the Company also
recognizes it could incur losses if loan payments are delayed due
to Year 2000 problems affecting any of the Company's significant
borrowers or impairing the payroll systems of large employers in
the Company's primary market area.  Because the Company's loan
portfolio is diversified with regard to individual borrowers and
types of businesses, and the Company's primary market area is not
significantly dependent on one employer or industry, the Company
does not expect any significant or prolonged Year 2000-related
difficulties.  In addition, the Company is providing information
to its customers about the Year 2000 issue.

Management established a budget of $250,000 for costs associated
with completing the comprehensive Year 2000 plan.  This includes
hardware and software upgrades, testing, training and other out-
of-pocket expenses.  The budget does not include in-house
personnel costs.  Through March 31, 1999, the Company had incurred
$20,000 of operating expenses and $39,000 of capital expenditures
for Year 2000 readiness.  In addition to these costs, the Company
has estimated it has incurred $79,000 of internal personnel costs
through December 31, 1998.

Management is in the process of developing contingency plans for
mission-critical systems, where applicable.  These contingency
plans include both remediation and business resumption plans. 
These contingency plans will be based on the results of the above-
mentioned testing.  The Company plans to complete the design of
contingency plans by June 30, 1999.
