                          CSB BANCORP, INC.
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Audited)

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 September 30, 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.


<PAGE>
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, 2000, 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 September
30, 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 $13.4 million of qualifying
mortgage loans at September 30, 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.

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

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 nine 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 September 30,
1999, compared to December 31, 1998, and the consolidated results
of operations for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ending
September 30, 1999 compared to the same periods 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 $318.6 million at September 30, 1999, compared
to $317.5 million at December 31, 1998, representing an increase
of $1.1 million or 0.3%.  Total securities increased approximately
$17.1 million, or 19.1%, during the nine months.  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 September 30,
1999, approximately 10.6% of the securities portfolio matures
within one year.

Net loans decreased $6.0 million, or 3.1%, to $187.8 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 $2.3 million, or 2.6%, primarily
as a result of reduced demand for such loans in the local market
area during the period.  Residential real estate loans decreased
$7.5 million since December 31, 1998, as a result of the
aforementioned sale. As a percentage of loans, the allowance for
loan losses was 1.75% at September 30, 1999 and 1.46% at December
31, 1998.  Loans past due more than 90 days and loans placed on
nonaccrual status, were approximately $1.8 million, or 0.94% of
total loans at September 30, 1999, compared to $1.5 million, or
0.76% of loans at December 31, 1998.  These credits are considered
in management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses.

Premises and equipment increased $3.3 million, or 61.1%, during
the first nine months of 1999.  This was primarily due to the
construction of the new operations center, which was completed in
the third quarter of 1999.

At September 30, 1999, the ratio of net loans to deposits was
71.0%, 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 $3.2 million, less $954,000 of cash dividends
declared.  The cash dividend represents 30.3% of net income for
the first nine months 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 $293,000 during the first nine
months of 1999.

The Company and its subsidiary met all regulatory capital
requirements at September 30, 1999.  The Company's ratio of total
capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.5% at September 30, 1999,
while Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 16.2%.  Regulatory
minimums call for a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, at
least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital.  The Company's
leverage ratio was 10.3% at September 30, 1999, which exceeds the
regulatory minimum of 3.0% to 5.0%.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $3.2
million, or $1.19 per share, substantially the same as the  $3.2
million, or $1.21 per share earned during the same period last
year. Third quarter net income was $1.1 million, or $0.42 per
share, in 1999, compared to $976,000, or $0.37 per share, for the
third quarter of 1998, an increase of $145,000, or 14.8%.  The
primary factor contributing to the three month increase was a
decrease in the provision for loan loss of $426,000, which was
partially offset by an increase in other expense of $266,000.

Net interest income was $8.9 million for the first nine months of
1999, a $43,000 increase from the same period of 1998.  Interest
and fees on loans decreased $414,000, or 3.1%, which resulted
primarily from the sale of $13.0 million in mortgage loans during
the first nine months.  Also, as the loan sale proceeds were
invested in securities from federal funds sold, interest on
securities increased $492,000 and other interest income increased
$144,000 for the first three quarters of 1999, compared to the
same period of 1998. Net interest income for the third quarter of
1999 totaled $3.1 million, an increase of $107,000, or 3.6%, from
$2.9 million in the third quarter of 1998. Income from taxable
investments increased $180,000, or 28.0%, from the third quarter
of 1998 to 1999, while income from nontaxable securities increased
$115,000, or 23.9%, for the same period.

Interest expense increased $179,000, or 2.1%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  This increase was the result of increased
volumes on interest-bearing accounts, which was partially offset
by a reduction in cost of funds.  For the third quarter of 1999
compared to the same period in 1998, interest expense remained
substantially the same at $2.9 million.

The provision for loan losses was $949,000 during the first nine
months of 1999, an increase of $175,000, or 22.6%, from the
provision for the comparable period in 1998. The provision for
loan losses for the third quarter was $151,000, a decrease of
$426,000, or 73.8%, from the same quarter in 1998. These
provisions were made in recognition of management's analysis of
impaired and nonaccrual loans, "watch list" loans and continued
loan origination volume.

Other income for the first nine months of 1999 increased
approximately $425,000, primarily as a result of the $304,000 gain
on the sale of loans in 1999 discussed above.  Also contributing
to the increase was a $161,000, or 29.9% increase in other income,
primarily as a result of an increase in trust and financial
services income.  Other income for the third quarter of 1999
decreased $39,000, or 7.9%, as a result of $78,000 of gain on sale
of other real estate owned in 1998.

Other expenses increased $462,000, or 9.2%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, and $266,000, or 15.9%, for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same periods in
1998.  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 11.4% in the
nine months and 18.1% for the third quarter, due primarily to
normal merit increases and additional staffing in the lending
area. These increases were partially offset by decreases in
equipment expense and state franchise tax. The decrease in
equipment expense was due in part to the full depreciation of
several fixed assets during the current periods. State franchise
tax is down for the nine month period, due to a $31,000 refund
claim on previous years as a result of a recent court ruling. The
provisions for income taxes of $871,000 for the nine months and
$299,000 during the third quarter of 1999 reflected an effective
rate of 21.7% and 21.1%, compared to effective rates of 24.1% and
18.1% for the same time periods in 1998.  The change in effective
rates resulted from changes in nontaxable interest income.


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.
The results of the testing were satisfactory and no material
deficiencies were found.

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. The Company performed a risk
assessment of its loan portfolio and of certain loan customers.
The Company reviewed collateral and other sources of repayment to
determine that a borrower's lack of Year 2000 readiness would not
create a material loss due to business disruption. 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
and the Company's state of readiness.   The Company also assessed
the Year 2000 preparedness of the local utilities and anticipates
no disruption of such services.

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 September 30, 1999, the Company had
incurred $25,000 of operating expenses and $44,000 of capital
expenditures for Year 2000 readiness.  In addition to these costs,
the Company has estimated it has incurred $105,000 of internal
personnel costs through September 30, 1999.

Management developed contingency plans for mission-critical
systems, where applicable.  These contingency plans include both
remediation and business resumption plans.  These contingency
plans are based on the results of the above-mentioned testing.
The Company  completed the design of contingency plans by June 30,
1999. Management will continue to concentrate its efforts on the
testing of its contingency planning and on customer awareness
programs.
