                                   PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business

General

      Industrial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company" or the "Corporation") 
was incorporated in the State of Ohio in February 1995 for the purpose of 
owning all of the outstanding capital stock of The Industrial Savings and 
Loan Association ("Industrial" or the "Association") issued upon the 
conversion of the Association from a mutual savings association to a 
permanent capital stock savings association (the "Conversion").  On August 1,
1995, the effective date of the Conversion, the Holding Company acquired 100
shares of the capital stock of the Association.

      The Association was organized as a mutual savings association under 
Ohio law in 1890.  As an Ohio savings association, the Association is 
subject to supervision and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision 
(the "OTS"), the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial 
Institutions (the "Division") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
(the "FDIC").  The Association is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank 
(the "FHLB") of Cincinnati and the deposits of the Association are insured 
up to applicable limits by the FDIC in the Savings Association Insurance 
Fund (the "SAIF").

      The Association conducts business from its main office at 211 N. 
Sandusky Street in Bellevue, Ohio, its nine branch offices and its one loan 
production office in the Northern Ohio communities of Ashland, Bellevue, 
Clyde, Findlay, Fremont, Mansfield, Norwalk, Sandusky, Tiffin and Willard.  
The Association is principally engaged in the business of originating 
construction and permanent mortgage loans secured by first mortgages on one- 
to four-family residential real estate located in the Association's primary 
market area, which consists of the seven Ohio counties in which its offices 
are located:  Ashland, Erie, Hancock, Huron, Richland, Sandusky and Seneca.  
The Association also originates construction and permanent mortgage loans 
secured by multifamily real estate (over four units) and nonresidential real 
estate in its primary market area.  In addition to real estate lending, the 
Association originates a limited number of commercial loans and secured and 
unsecured consumer loans.  For liquidity and interest rate risk management 
purposes, the Association invests in interest-bearing deposits in other 
financial institutions, U.S. Government and agency obligations, mortgage-
backed securities and other investments permitted by applicable law.  Funds 
for lending and other investment activities are obtained primarily from 
savings deposits and loan principal repayments.  Advances from the FHLB of 
Cincinnati are also utilized as an additional source of funds.

      Interest on loans and investments is the Association's primary source 
of income.  The Association's principal expense is interest paid on deposit 
accounts.  Operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the 
"net interest income" of the Association, which is the difference between 
interest income earned on loans, mortgage-backed securities and other 
interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Like 
most thrift institutions, the Association's interest income and interest 
expense are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by the 
policies of various regulatory authorities.

Market Area

      The Association conducts business from its main office in Bellevue, 
Ohio, and its nine branch offices in Bellevue and the northern Ohio cities 
of Ashland, Clyde, Findlay, Fremont, Norwalk, Sandusky, Tiffin and Willard.  
The Association's primary market area for lending and deposit activity 
consists of the six counties in which the Association has its branch 
offices.  The Association's lending activity also reaches into Richland 
County through a loan production office in Mansfield, Ohio.

      The economy of the Association's primary market area is stable.  
Population growth and household growth have occurred at slightly slower 
rates than the State of Ohio as a whole.  The principal segments of the 
local economy are manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, tourism and other 
service industries.  Erie and Sandusky Counties include popular tourist 
attractions along Lake Erie, such as Cedar Point, which provide a 
significant number of jobs during the summer season and draw large numbers 
of visitors to the area.  Other major employers in the Association's primary 
market area include Whirlpool Corporation, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, 
Consolidated Biscuit Co., General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Marathon Oil 
and R.R. Donnelly Co.  There are also several colleges and universities in 
the Association's primary market area.

Lending Activities

      General.  The Association's principal lending activity is the 
origination of conventional real estate loans, including construction loans, 
secured by one- to four-family homes located in the Association's primary 
market area.  Loans secured by multifamily properties containing more than 
four units and nonresidential properties, including construction loans, are 
also offered by the Association.  The Association does not originate first 
mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Authority or guaranteed by the 
Veterans Administration.  In addition to real estate lending, the 
Association originates a limited number of commercial loans and consumer 
loans, including education loans, loans secured by deposit accounts, 
automobile loans and a limited number of unsecured loans.

      Loan Portfolio Composition.  The following table presents certain 
information in respect of the composition of the Association's loan 
portfolio at the dates indicated:

real estate and improvements thereon, if any.  At December 31, 1997, the 
Association's one- to four-family residential real estate loan portfolio was 
$278.4 million, or 85% of total loans.

      OTS regulations and Ohio law limit the amount which the Association 
may lend in relationship to the appraised value of the real estate and 
improvements at the time of loan origination.  In accordance with such 
regulations and laws, the Association typically makes loans on one- to four-
family residences for up to 80% of the value of the real estate and 
improvements (the "LTV") and occasionally makes loans with up to a 95% LTV.  
The principal amount of any loan which exceeds an 80% LTV at the time of 
origination is usually covered by private mortgage insurance at the expense 
of the borrower.

      Fixed-rate one- to four-family loans are offered by the Association, 
currently for terms of up to 30 years.  Adjustable-rate one- to four-family 
real estate loans ("ARMs") are also offered by the Association for terms of 
up to 30 years.  The interest rate adjustment periods on such ARMs are one 
year and the rates are tied to the one-year U.S. Treasury bill rate.  The 
new interest rate at each change date is determined by adding a specified 
margin, typically between 2.75% and 3.75%, to the prevailing index.  The 
maximum allowable adjustment at each adjustment date is 1% or 2% with a 
maximum adjustment of 6% over the term of the loan.  The initial rate on an 
ARM with a 1% cap is typically higher than the initial rate on an ARM with a 
2% cap to compensate for the reduced interest rate sensitivity.  The initial 
rate on ARMs originated by the Association is sometimes less than the sum of 
the index at the time of origination plus the specified margin.  Such loans 
may be subject to greater risk of default as the interest rate adjusts to 
the fully-indexed level.  The Association attempts to reduce the risks by 
underwriting such loans on the basis of the payment amount the borrower will 
be required to pay during the second year of the loan, assuming the maximum 
possible rate increase.

      Adjustable-rate loans decrease the Association's interest rate risk 
but involve other risks, primarily credit risk, because as interest rates 
rise the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms 
of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.  At the same 
time, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected 
by higher interest rates.  The Association believes that these risks have 
not had a material adverse effect on the Association to date.

      Home Equity Loans.  In recent years, lines of credit secured by the 
equity in a borrower's principal residence have become increasingly popular.  
The Association offers home equity lines of credit in an amount which, when 
added to any prior indebtedness secured by the real estate, does not exceed 
95% of the appraised value of the real estate.  The Association's home 
equity loans have terms of up to 30 years.  The borrower can draw on the 
line of credit during the first 15 years and must repay the loan during the 
second 15 years.  Home equity loans are typically secured by a second 
mortgage on the real estate.  The Association frequently holds the first 
mortgage, although the Association will make home equity loans in cases 
where another lender holds the first mortgage.  The interest rates charged 
by the Association on home equity loans adjust quarterly and are tied to the 
composite prime rate of 75% of the thirty largest U.S. banks, as published 
in The Wall Street Journal.

      At December 31, 1997, the Association had $15.4 million, or 4.70% of 
total loans, in home equity loans.

      Loans Secured by Multifamily Real Estate.  In addition to loans on 
one- to four-family properties, the Association originates loans secured by 
multifamily properties containing over four units.  Multifamily loans are 
offered with adjustable rates for terms of up to 30 years and have a maximum 
LTV of 80%.

      Multifamily lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree 
of risk than one- to four-family residential lending because the borrower 
typically depends upon income generated by the project to cover operating 
expenses and debt service.  The profitability of a project can be affected 
by economic conditions, government policies and other factors beyond the 
control of the borrower.  The Association attempts to reduce the risk 
associated with multifamily lending by evaluating the creditworthiness of 
the borrower and the projected income from the project and by obtaining 
personal guarantees on loans made to corporations and partnerships.  The 
Association requests that borrowers submit rent rolls and that all borrowers 
submit financial statements annually to enable the Association to monitor 
such loans.

      At December 31, 1997, loans secured by multifamily properties totaled 
$8.2 million, or 2.49% of total loans.

      Loans Secured by Nonresidential Real Estate.  At December 31, 1997, 
$10.5 million, or 3.21%, of the Association's total loans were secured by 
permanent mortgages on nonresidential real estate.  Such loans have 
adjustable rates, terms of up to 25 years and LTVs of up to 75%.  Among the 
properties securing nonresidential real estate loans are office buildings 
and motel and retail properties located in the Association's primary market 
area.  For the last five years, the amount of the Association's 
nonresidential real estate loans as a percent of total loans has ranged from 
a low of 2.71% at December 31, 1994, to a high of 3.45% at December 31, 
1995.

      Although the loans secured by nonresidential real estate typically 
have higher interest rates than one- to four-family residential real estate 
loans, nonresidential real estate lending is generally considered to involve 
a higher degree of risk than residential lending due to the relatively 
larger loan amounts and the effects of general economic conditions on the 
successful operation of income-producing properties.  The Association has 
endeavored to reduce such risk by evaluating the credit history and past 
performance of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the financial 
condition of the borrower, the quality and characteristics of the income 
stream generated by the property and appraisals supporting the property's 
valuation.  The Association also makes loans for the construction of 
nonresidential real estate.

      Construction Loans.  The Association makes loans for the construction 
of single-family houses, multifamily properties and nonresidential real 
estate projects.  At December 31, 1997, the Association's loan portfolio 
included $10.3 million in construction loans, or 3.16% of total loans, net 
of undisbursed proceeds.

      The Association's construction loan portfolio at December 31, 1997, 
consisted primarily of loans to individuals and builders for the 
construction and permanent financing of single-family residences.  Such 
loans are offered with fixed or adjustable rates for terms of up to 30 
years.  During the first year, while the residence is being constructed, the 
borrower is required to pay interest only.  At December 31, 1997, loans for 
the construction of nonresidential real estate totaled $376,000.

      Construction loans, particularly loans involving nonresidential real 
estate, generally involve greater underwriting and default risks than do 
loans secured by mortgages on existing properties.  Loan funds are advanced 
upon the security of the project under construction, which is more difficult 
to value before the completion of construction.  Moreover, because of the 
uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, it is relatively 
difficult to evaluate accurately the LTV and the total loan funds required 
to complete a project.  In the event a default on a construction loan occurs 
and foreclosure follows, the Association would have to take control of the 
project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or 
dispose of the unfinished project.  All of the Association's construction 
loans are secured by property in the Association's primary market area.

      Commercial Loans.  The Association occasionally makes commercial loans 
to businesses in its primary market area.  Such loans are typically secured 
by a security interest in inventory, accounts receivable or other assets of 
the borrower.  At December 31, 1997, the Association's commercial loan 
portfolio was $297,000, or 0.09% of total loans.

      Consumer Loans.  The Association makes various types of consumer 
loans, including education loans, loans made to depositors on the security 
of their deposit accounts, automobile loans and other secured loans and 
unsecured personal loans.  Consumer loans are made at fixed rates of 
interest and for varying terms based on the type of loan.  At December 31, 
1997, the Association had $4.4 million, or 1.35% of total loans, invested in 
consumer loans.

      Consumer loans, particularly consumer loans which are unsecured or are 
secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles, may entail 
greater risk than do residential real estate loans.  Repossessed collateral 
for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of 
repayment of the outstanding loan balance.  The risk of default on consumer 
loans increases during periods of recession, high unemployment and other 
adverse economic conditions.

      Loan Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations are developed 
from a number of sources, including continuing business with depositors, 
other borrowers and real estate developers, solicitations by the 
Association's lending staff and walk-in customers.

      Loan applications for permanent real estate loans are taken by loan 
personnel in the office where the loan is originated.  The Association 
typically obtains a credit report, verification of employment and other 
documentation concerning the creditworthiness of the borrower.  An appraisal 
of the fair market value of the real estate which will be given as security 
for the loan is prepared by a staff appraiser or a fee appraiser approved by 
the Board of Directors.  Upon the completion of the appraisal and the 
receipt of information on the credit history of the borrower, the 
application for a loan is submitted for review in accordance with the 
Association's underwriting guidelines to the Association's Executive or 
Underwriting Committees.  All loans are ratified by the full Board of 
Directors.

      Under the Association's current loan guidelines, if a real estate loan 
application is approved, title insurance is usually obtained on the real 
estate which will secure the mortgage loan.  In the past, the Association 
used an attorney's opinion for single-family loans, whereas title insurance 
was typically used for nonresidential real estate loans.  Borrowers are 
required to carry satisfactory fire and casualty insurance and flood 
insurance, if applicable, and to name the Association as an insured 
mortgagee.

      The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same as for 
permanent real estate loans, except that an appraiser evaluates the building 
plans, construction specifications and estimates of construction costs.  The 
Association also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction 
project and the experience and record of the builder.

      Consumer loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's credit 
history and an analysis of the borrower's income and expenses, ability to 
repay the loan and the value of the collateral, if any.

      Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales.  The Association originates 
both fixed-rate and ARM loans for its portfolio. A majority of the loans in 
the Association's portfolio conform to the secondary market standards of the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the "FHLMC") or the Federal National 
Mortgage Association (the "FNMA").  In an effort to reduce interest rate 
risk and due to the favorable market conditions to do so, it is the 
intention of the Association to sell, beginning in the second quarter of 
1998, a portion of the Association's fixed-rate loan originations in the 
secondary market.  The Association intends to continue to charge a higher 
interest rate on loans that do not conform to FHLMC or FNMA standards to 
mitigate the increased interest rate risk associated with loans that cannot 
be readily sold.

      Loan sales have not been a significant business activity for the 
Association for the past several years, although it has sold loans in the 
past when funds were needed for new loan originations and market conditions 
favored a sale.  At December 31, 1997, the Association had $4.8 million of 
loans serviced for others.

      The following table presents the Association's loan origination, 
purchase and sale activity for the periods indicated:

      Federal Lending Limit.  OTS regulations impose a lending limit on the 
aggregate amount that a savings association can lend to one borrower to an 
amount equal to 15% of the association's total capital for risk-based 
capital purposes plus any loan loss reserves not already included in total 
capital (the "Lending Limit Capital").  A savings association may loan to 
one borrower an additional amount not to exceed 10% of the association's 
Lending Limit Capital, if the additional amount is fully secured by certain 
forms of "readily marketable collateral."  Real estate is not considered 
"readily marketable collateral."  An exception to this limit permits loans 
of any type to one borrower of up to $500,000.  In addition, the OTS, under 
certain circumstances, may permit exceptions to the lending limit on a case-
by-case basis.  In applying these limits, the regulations require that loans 
to certain related or affiliated borrowers be aggregated.

      Based on such limits, the Association was able to lend approximately 
$5.6 million to one borrower at December 31, 1997.  The largest amount the 
Association had outstanding to one borrower and related persons or entities 
at December 31, 1997, was $3.9 million, consisting of a number of 
residential rental and condominium development projects in the Association's 
primary market area.

      Loan Origination and Other Fees.  The Association realizes loan 
origination fee and other fee income from its lending activities and also 
realizes income from late payment charges, application fees and fees for 
other miscellaneous services.

      Loan origination fees and other fees are a volatile source of income, 
varying with the volume of lending, loan repayments and general economic 
conditions.  All nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan 
origination costs are deferred and recognized in accordance with Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91 as an adjustment to yield over the 
life of the related loan.

      Delinquent Loans, Nonperforming Assets and Classified Assets.  
Delinquent loans are loans for which payment has not been received within 30 
days of the payment due date.  Loan payments are due on the first day of the 
month with the interest portion of the payment applicable to interest 
accrued during the prior month.  When loan payments have not been made by 
the thirtieth of the month, late notices are sent to the borrower.  If 
payment is not received by the sixtieth day, second notices are sent and 
telephone calls are made.  Each loan bears a late payment penalty which is 
assessed as soon as such loan is more than 15 days delinquent.  The late 
penalty is 5% of the payment due.

      When a loan secured by real estate becomes delinquent more than 90 
days, the Board of Directors reviews the loan and foreclosure proceedings 
are instituted if the Board determines that the delinquency is not likely to 
be resolved in a reasonable period of time.  An appraisal of the security is 
performed when foreclosure proceedings are initiated.  If the appraisal 
indicates that the value of the collateral is less than the book value of 
the loan, a valuation allowance is established for such loan.

      When a consumer loan becomes more than 120 days past due, the loan is 
classified loss and a specific reserve is established for the book balance 
of the loan.

The following table reflects the amount of loans in a delinquent status as 
of the dates indicated:

      Nonperforming assets include nonaccruing loans, accruing loans which 
are delinquent 90 days or more, real estate acquired by foreclosure or by 
deed-in-lieu thereof, and repossessed assets.  The Association ceases to 
accrue interest on real estate loans if the collateral value is not 
adequate, in the opinion of management, to cover the outstanding principal 
and interest.

      The following table sets forth information with respect to the accrual 
and nonaccrual status of the Association's loans and other nonperforming 
assets at the dates indicated:

      For the year ended December 31, 1997, gross interest income which 
would have been recorded had nonaccruing loans been current in accordance 
with their original terms was $33,000.  Interest collected on such loans and 
included in net income was $24,000.

      Real estate acquired by the Association as a result of foreclosure 
proceedings is classified as real estate owned ("REO") until it is sold.  
When property is so acquired it is recorded by the Association at the 
estimated fair value of the real estate at the date of acquisition, less 
estimated selling expenses, and any write-down resulting therefrom is 
charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Interest accrual, if any, ceases 
no later than the date of acquisition of the real estate, and all costs 
incurred from such date in maintaining the property are expensed.  Costs 
relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized 
to the extent of fair value.

      The Association classifies its own assets on a monthly basis in 
accordance with federal regulations.  Problem assets are classified as 
"substandard," "doubtful" or "loss."  "Substandard" assets have one or more 
defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that 
the Association will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not 
corrected.  "Doubtful" assets have the same weaknesses as "substandard" 
assets, with the additional characteristics that (i) the weaknesses make 
collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, 
conditions and values questionable and (ii) there is a high possibility of 
loss.  An asset classified "loss" is considered uncollectible and of such 
little value that its continuance as an asset of the Association is not 
warranted.

      The aggregate amounts of the Association's classified assets at the 
dates indicated were as follows:

      The Association establishes general allowances for loan losses for any 
loan classified as substandard or doubtful.  If an asset, or portion 
thereof, is classified as loss, the Association establishes specific 
allowances for losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset 
classified loss.  Generally, the Association charges off the portion of any 
real estate loan deemed to be uncollectible.

      The Association analyzes each classified asset on a monthly basis to 
determine whether a change in its classification is appropriate under the 
circumstances.  Such analysis focuses on a variety of factors, including the 
amount of any delinquency and the reasons for the delinquency, if any, the 
use of the real estate securing the loan, the status of the borrower and the 
appraised value of the real estate.  As such factors change, the 
classification of the asset will change accordingly.

      Allowance for Loan Losses.  Senior management, with oversight by the 
Board, reviews on a monthly basis the allowance for loan losses as it 
relates to a number of relevant factors, including but not limited to, 
trends in the level of delinquent and nonperforming assets and classified 
loans, current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending 
area, past loss experience and possible losses arising from specific problem 
assets.  To a lesser extent, management also considers loan concentrations 
to single borrowers and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio.  
While management believes that it uses the best information available to 
determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could 
result in adjustments, and net income could be significantly affected if 
circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the 
final determination.

      The foregoing statement regarding the adequacy of the allowance for 
loan losses is a "forward-looking" statement within the meaning of Section 
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Factors that could affect the 
adequacy of the loan loss allowance include, but are not limited to, the 
following: (1) changes in the national and local economy which may 
negatively impact the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and which 
may cause the value of real estate and other properties that secure 
outstanding loans to decline; (2) unforeseen adverse changes in 
circumstances with respect to certain large loans; (3) decreases in the 
value of collateral securing consumer loans to amounts less than the 
outstanding balances of the consumer loans; and (4) determinations by 
various regulatory agencies that the Association must recognize additions to 
its loan loss allowance based on such regulators' judgment of information 
available to them at the time of their examinations.

      The following table sets forth an analysis of the Association's 
allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Investment Activities

      Federal regulation and Ohio law permit the Association to invest in 
various types of investments, including interest- bearing deposits in other 
financial institutions, U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, mortgage-
backed securities and certain other specified investments.  The Board of 
Directors of the Association has adopted an investment policy which 
authorizes management to make investments in U.S. Government and agency 
securities, deposits in the FHLB, certificates of deposit in federally-
insured financial institutions, banker's acceptances issued by major U.S. 
banks, corporate debt securities rated at least "AA," or equivalent, by a 
major statistical rating firm and municipal or other tax free obligations.  
The Association's investment policy is designed primarily to provide and 
maintain liquidity within regulatory guidelines, to maintain a balance of 
high quality investments to minimize risk and to maximize return without 
sacrificing liquidity and safety.

      The following table sets forth the composition of the Association's

Deposits and Borrowings

      General.  Deposits have traditionally been the primary source of the 
Association's funds for use in lending and other investment activities.  In 
addition to deposits, the Association derives funds from interest payments 
and principal repayments on loans and income on interest-earning assets.  
Loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows 
and outflows fluctuate more in response to general interest rates and money 
market conditions.  The Association also utilizes FHLB advances as an 
alternative source of funds.

      Deposits.  Deposits are attracted principally from within the 
Association's primary market area through the offering of a broad selection 
of deposit instruments, including NOW accounts, demand deposit accounts, 
money market accounts, regular passbook savings accounts, term certificate 
accounts, IRAs and Keogh accounts.  Interest rates paid, maturity terms, 
service fees and withdrawal penalties for the various types of accounts are 
established periodically by management of the Association based on the 
Association's liquidity requirements, growth goals and interest rates paid 
by competitors.  The Association does not use brokers to attract deposits.  
The amount of deposits from outside the Association's primary market area is 
not significant.

      At December 31, 1997, the Association's certificates of deposit 
totaled $195.7 million, or 72.23% of total deposits.  Of such amount, 
approximately $131.3 million in certificates of deposit mature within one 
year.  Based on past experience and the Association's prevailing pricing 
strategies, management believes that a substantial percentage of such 
certificates will be renewed with the Association at maturity.  If deviation 
from historical experience occurs, the Association can utilize borrowings 
from the FHLB of Cincinnati as an alternative source of funds, up to the 
Association's limit on such borrowings, which was $58.8 million at December 
31, 1997.

      The following table sets forth the dollar amount of deposits in the 
various types of accounts offered by the Association at the dates indicated:

      Borrowings.  The FHLB system functions as a central reserve bank, 
providing credit for its member institutions and certain other financial 
institutions.  As a member in good standing of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the 
Association is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, 
provided certain standards of creditworthiness have been met.  Under current 
regulations, an association must meet certain qualifications to be eligible 
for FHLB advances.  The extent to which an association is eligible for such 
advances will depend upon whether it meets the Qualified Thrift Lender Test 
(the "QTL test").  If an association meets the QTL test, it will be eligible 
for 100% of the advances it would otherwise be eligible to receive.  If an 
association does not meet the QTL test, it will be eligible for such 
advances only to the extent it holds specified QTL test assets.  At December 
31, 1997, the Association was in compliance with the QTL test.

Competition

      The Association competes for deposits with other savings associations, 
savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and with the issuers of 
commercial paper and other securities, such as shares in money market mutual 
funds.  The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates and 
convenience of office location.  In making loans, the Association competes 
with other savings banks, savings associations, commercial banks, mortgage 
brokers, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies and 
other lenders.  The Association competes for loan originations primarily 
through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and through the 
efficiency and quality of services it provides to borrowers.  Competition is 
intense and is affected by, among other things, the general availability of 
lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate 
levels and other factors which are not readily predictable.  The Association 
does not offer all of the products and services offered by some of its 
competitors, particularly commercial banks.  The Association monitors the 
product offerings of its competitors and adds new products when it can do so 
competitively and cost effectively.

      The size of financial institutions competing with the Association is 
likely to increase as a result of changes in statutes and regulations 
eliminating various restrictions on interstate and inter-industry branching 
and acquisitions.  Such increased competition may have an adverse effect 
upon the Association.

Employees

      As of December 31, 1997, the Association had 83 full-time employees 
and 7 part-time employees.  The Association believes that relations with its 
employees are excellent.  The Association offers health and disability 
benefits, life insurance and an employee stock ownership plan.  None of the 
employees of the Association are represented by a collective bargaining 
unit.

                                 REGULATION

General

      As a savings and loan association incorporated under the laws of Ohio, 
Industrial is subject to regulation, examination and oversight by the OTS 
and the Superintendent of the Division of Financial Institutions of the 
Department of Commerce of the State of Ohio (the "Ohio Superintendent").  
Because Industrial's deposits are insured by the FDIC, Industrial also is 
subject to general oversight by the FDIC.  Industrial must file periodic 
reports with the OTS, the Ohio Superintendent and the FDIC concerning its 
activities and financial condition.  Examinations are conducted periodically 
by federal and state regulators to determine whether Industrial is in 
compliance with various regulatory requirements and is operating in a safe 
and sound manner.  Industrial is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati.

      The Holding Company is a savings and loan holding company within the 
meaning of the Home Owners Loan Act, as amended (the "HOLA") and is, 
therefore, subject to regulation, examination, and oversight by the OTS and 
is required to submit periodic reports to the OTS.  Because the Holding 
Company and Industrial are corporations organized under Ohio law, they are 
also subject to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code applicable to 
corporations generally.

      Congress is considering legislation to eliminate the federal savings 
and loan charter and the separate federal regulation of savings and loan 
associations and the Department of the Treasury is preparing a report for 
Congress on the development of a common charter for all financial 
institutions.  Pursuant to such legislation, Congress may eliminate the OTS 
and Industrial may be regulated under federal law as a bank or may be 
required to change its charter.  Such change in regulation or charter would 
likely change the range of activities in which Industrial may engage and 
would probably subject Industrial to more regulation by the FDIC.  In 
addition, the Holding Company might become subject to different holding 
company regulations, including separate capital requirements.  At this time, 
the Holding Company cannot predict when or whether Congress may actually 
pass legislation regarding the Holding Company's and Industrial's regulatory 
requirements or charter.  Although such legislation may change the 
activities in which either the Holding Company and Industrial may engage, it 
is not anticipated that the current activities of the Holding Company or 
Industrial will be materially affected by those activity limits.

Ohio Savings and Loan Law

      The Ohio Superintendent is responsible for the regulation and 
supervision of Ohio savings and loan associations in accordance with the 
laws of the State of Ohio.  Ohio law prescribes the permissible investments 
and activities of Ohio savings and loan associations, including the types of 
lending that such associations may engage in and the investments in real 
estate, subsidiaries, and corporate or government securities that such 
associations may make.  The ability of Ohio associations to engage in these 
state-authorized investments and activities is subject to oversight and 
approval by the FDIC, if such investments or activities are not permissible 
for a federally-chartered savings and loan association.

      The Ohio Superintendent also has approval authority over any mergers 
involving, or acquisitions of control of, Ohio savings and loan 
associations.  The Ohio Superintendent may initiate certain supervisory 
measures or formal enforcement actions against Ohio associations.  
Ultimately, if the grounds provided by law exist, the Ohio Superintendent 
may place an Ohio association in conservatorship or receivership.

      The Ohio Superintendent conducts regular examinations of Industrial 
approximately once every eighteen months.  Such examinations are usually 
conducted jointly with one or both federal regulators.  The Ohio 
Superintendent imposes assessments on Ohio associations based on their asset 
size to cover the cost of supervision and examination.

Office of Thrift Supervision

      General.  The OTS is an office in the Department of the Treasury and 
is responsible for the regulation and supervision of all federally-chartered 
savings and loan associations and all other savings and loan associations, 
the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC.  The OTS issues regulations 
governing the operation of savings and loan associations, regularly examines 
such associations and imposes assessments on savings associations based on 
their asset size to cover the costs of this supervision and examination.  
The OTS also may initiate enforcement actions against savings and loan 
associations and certain persons affiliated with them for violations of laws 
or regulations or for engaging in unsafe or unsound practices.  If the 
grounds provided by law exist, the OTS may appoint a conservator or receiver 
for a savings and loan association.

      Savings associations are subject to regulatory oversight under various 
consumer protection and fair lending laws.  These laws govern, among other 
things, truth-in-lending disclosures, equal credit opportunity, fair credit 
reporting and community reinvestment.  Failure to abide by federal laws and 
regulations governing community reinvestment could limit the ability of an 
association to open a new branch or engage in a merger.  Community 
reinvestment regulations evaluate how well and to what extent an institution 
lends and invests in its designated service area, with particular emphasis 
on low- to moderate-income communities and borrowers in that area.  
Industrial has received a "satisfactory" examination rating under those 
regulations.

      Regulatory Capital Requirements.  Industrial is required by OTS 
regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements.  Current capital 
requirements call for tangible capital of 1.5% of adjusted total assets, 
core capital (which for Industrial consists solely of tangible capital) of 
3.0% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital (which for Industrial 
consists of core capital and general valuation allowances) of 8.0% of risk-
weighted assets (assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are 
weighted at percentage levels ranging from 0% to 100% depending on the 
relative risk).

      The OTS has proposed to amend the core capital requirement so that 
those associations that do not have the highest examination rating and an 
acceptable level of risk will be required to maintain core capital of from 
4% to 5%, depending on the association's examination rating and overall 
risk.  Industrial does not anticipate that it will be adversely affected if 
the core capital requirement regulation is amended as proposed.

      The OTS has adopted an interest rate risk component to the risk-based 
capital requirement, though the implementation of that component has been 
delayed.  Pursuant to that requirement a savings association would have to 
measure the effect of an immediate 200 basis point change in interest rates 
on the value of its portfolio as determined under the methodology of the 
OTS.  If the measured interest rate risk is above the level deemed normal 
under the regulation, Industrial will be required to deduct one-half of such 
excess exposure from its total capital when determining its risk-based 
capital.  In general, an association with less than $300 million in assets 
and a risk-based capital ratio in excess of 12% will not be subject to the 
interest rate risk component.  Pending implementation of the interest rate 
risk component, the OTS has the authority to impose a higher individualized 
capital requirement on any savings association it deems to have excess 
interest rate risk.  The OTS also may adjust the risk-based capital 
requirement on an individualized basis to take into account risks due to 
concentrations of credit and non-traditional activities.

      The OTS has adopted regulations governing prompt corrective action to 
resolve the problems of capital deficient and otherwise troubled savings and 
loan associations.  At each successively lower defined capital category, an 
association is subject to more restrictive and numerous mandatory or 
discretionary regulatory actions or limits, and the OTS has less flexibility 
in determining how to resolve the problems of the institution.  The OTS has 
defined these capital levels as follows:  (i) well-capitalized associations 
must have total risk-based capital of at least 10%, core risk-based capital 
(consisting only of items that qualify for inclusion in core capital) of at 
least 6% and core capital of at least 5%; (ii) adequately capitalized 
associations are those that meet the regulatory minimum of total risk-based 
capital of 8%, core risk-based capital of 4%, and core capital of 4% (except 
for associations receiving the highest examination rating, in which case the 
level is 3%) but are not well-capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized 
associations are those that do not meet regulatory limits, but that are not 
significantly undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized 
associations have total risk-based capital of less than 6%, core risk-based 
capital of less than 3% or core capital of less than 3%; and (v) critically 
undercapitalized associations are those with core capital of less than 2% of 
total assets.  In addition, the OTS generally can downgrade an association's 
capital category, notwithstanding its capital level, if, after notice and 
opportunity for hearing, the association is deemed to be engaging in an 
unsafe or unsound practice because it has not corrected deficiencies that 
resulted in it receiving a less than satisfactory examination rating on 
matters other than capital or it is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound 
condition.  An undercapitalized association must submit a capital 
restoration plan to the OTS within 45 days after it becomes 
undercapitalized.  Undercapitalized associations will be subject to 
increased monitoring and asset growth restrictions and will be required to 
obtain prior approval for acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines 
of business.  Critically undercapitalized institutions must be placed in 
conservatorship or receivership within 90 days of reaching that 
capitalization level, except under limited circumstances.  Industrial's 
capital at December 31, 1997, met the standards for a well-capitalized 
institution.

      Federal law prohibits a savings and loan association from making a 
capital distribution to anyone or paying management fees to any person 
having control of the association if, after such distribution or payment, 
the association would be undercapitalized.  In addition, each company 
controlling an undercapitalized association must guarantee that the 
association will comply with its capital plan until the association has been 
adequately capitalized on an average during each of four preceding calendar 
quarters and must provide adequate assurances of performance.  The aggregate 
liability pursuant to such guarantee is limited to the lesser of (i) an 
amount equal to 5% of the association's total assets at the time the 
association became undercapitalized or (ii) the amount that is necessary to 
bring the association into compliance with all capital standards applicable 
to such association at the time the association fails to comply with its 
capital restoration plan.

      Liquidity.  OTS regulations require that savings associations maintain 
an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, 
association's acceptances, and specified United States Government, state or 
federal agency obligations) equal to a monthly average of not less than 4% 
of its net withdrawable savings deposits plus borrowings payable in one year 
or less.  Monetary penalties may be imposed upon member institutions failing 
to meet liquidity requirements. The eligible liquidity of Industrial at 
December 31, 1997, was approximately $12.8 million, or 4.69%, which exceeded 
the 4% liquidity requirement by approximately $1.9 million.

      Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  Prior to September 30, 1996, the QTL 
test required savings associations to maintain a specified level of 
investments in assets that are designated as qualifying thrift investments 
("QTI"), which are generally related to domestic residential real estate and 
manufactured housing and include stock issued by any FHLB, the FHLMC or the 
FNMA.  Under this test 65% of an institution's "portfolio assets" (total 
assets less goodwill and other intangibles, property used to conduct 
business, and 20% of liquid assets) must consist of QTI on a monthly average 
basis in 9 out of every 12 months.  Congress created a second QTL test, 
effective September 30, 1996, pursuant to which a savings association may 
also qualify as a QTL thrift if at least 60% of the institution's assets (on 
a tax basis) consist of specified assets (generally loans secured by 
residential real estate or deposits, educational loans, cash, and certain 
governmental obligations).  The OTS may grant exceptions to the QTL test 
under certain circumstances.  If a savings association fails to meet the QTL 
test, the association and its holding company become subject to certain 
operating and regulatory restrictions.  A savings association that fails to 
meet the QTL test will not be eligible for new FHLB advances.  At 
December 31, 1997, Industrial met the QTL test.

      Lending Limit.  OTS regulations generally limit the aggregate amount 
that a savings association can lend to one borrower or group of related 
borrowers to an amount equal to 15% of the association's Lending Limit 
Capital.  A savings association may lend to one borrower an additional 
amount not to exceed 10% of the association's Lending Limit Capital, if the 
additional amount is fully secured by certain forms of "readily marketable 
collateral."  Real estate is not considered "readily marketable collateral."  
Certain types of loans are not subject to this limit.  In applying this 
limit, the regulations require that loans to certain related borrowers be 
aggregated.  An exception to this limit permits loans of any type to one 
borrower up to $500,000.

      Based on such limits, Industrial was able to lend approximately $5.6 
million to one borrower at December 31, 1997. The largest amount Industrial 
had outstanding to any group of affiliated borrowers at December 31, 1997, 
was $3.9 million, which consisted of forty-four loans, secured by a number 
of residential rental and condominium development projects.  At December 31, 
1997, such loans were performing in accordance with their terms.

      Transactions with Insiders and Affiliates.  Loans to executive 
officers, directors, and principal shareholders and their related interests 
must conform to the lending limit on loans to one borrower, and the total of 
such loans to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and 
their related interests cannot exceed Industrial's Lending Limit Capital (or 
200% of Lending Limit Capital for qualifying institutions with less than 
$100 million in assets).  Most loans to directors, executive officers, and 
principal shareholders must be approved in advance by a majority of the 
"disinterested" members of the board of directors of Industrial with any 
"interested" director not participating.  All loans to directors, executive 
officers, and principal shareholders must be made on terms substantially the 
same as offered in comparable transactions with the general public or as 
offered to all employees in a company-wide benefit program, and loans to 
executive officers are subject to additional limitations.  Industrial was in 
compliance with such restrictions at December 31, 1997.

      All transactions between a savings association and its affiliates must 
comply with Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the "FRA").  An 
affiliate of a savings association is any company or entity that controls, 
is controlled by or is under common control with, the savings association.  
The Holding Company will be an affiliate of Industrial.  Generally, Sections 
23A and 23B of the FRA (i) limit the extent to which a savings association 
or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one 
affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's capital stock and 
surplus, (ii) limit the aggregate of all such transactions with all 
affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus, and 
(iii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, 
or at least as favorable to the association, as those provided in 
transactions with a non-affiliate.  The term "covered transaction" includes 
the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee, and other 
similar types of transactions.  In addition to the limits in Sections 23A 
and 23B, a savings association may not make any loan or other extension of 
credit to an affiliate unless the affiliate is engaged only in activities 
permissible for a bank holding company and may not purchase or invest in 
securities of any affiliate except shares of a subsidiary.  Industrial was 
in compliance with these requirements and restrictions at December 31, 1997.

      Limitations on Capital Distributions.  The OTS imposes various 
restrictions or requirements on the ability of associations to make capital 
distributions, according to ratings of associations based on their capital 
level and supervisory condition.  Capital distributions, for purposes of 
such regulation, include, without limitation, payments of cash dividends, 
repurchases, and certain other acquisitions by an association of its shares 
and payments to stockholders of another association in an acquisition of 
such other association.

      For purposes of the capital distribution regulations, each institution 
is categorized into one of three tiers.  The first rating category is Tier 
1, consisting of associations that, before and after the proposed capital 
distribution, meet their fully phased-in capital requirement.  Associations 
in this category may make capital distributions during any calendar year 
equal to the greater of (i) 100% of its net income, current year-to-date, 
plus 50% of the amount by which the lesser of the association's tangible, 
core or risk-based capital exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirement 
for such capital component, as measured at the beginning of  the calendar 
year, or (ii) the amount authorized for a Tier 2 association.  The second 
category, Tier 2, consists of associations that, before and after the 
proposed capital distribution, meet their current minimum, but not fully 
phased-in, capital requirement.  Associations in this category may make 
capital distributions up to 75% of their net income over the most recent 
four quarters.  Tier 3 associations do not meet their current minimum 
capital requirement and must obtain OTS approval of any capital 
distribution.  A Tier 1 association deemed to be in need of more than normal 
supervision by the OTS may be treated as a Tier 2 or a Tier 3 association.

      Industrial is also prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends 
or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result, the net worth of 
Industrial would be reduced below the amount required to be maintained for 
the liquidation account established in connection with the Conversion.  In 
addition, as a subsidiary of the Holding Company, Industrial is also 
required to give the OTS 30 days' notice prior to declaring any dividend on 
its stock.  The OTS may object to the dividend during that 30-day period 
based on safety and soundness concerns.   Moreover, the OTS may prohibit any 
capital distribution otherwise permitted by regulation if the OTS determines 
that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

      In December 1994, the OTS issued a proposal to amend the capital 
distributions limits.  Under that proposal, an association which is not 
owned by a holding company and which has an examination rating of 1 or 2 
could make a capital distribution without notice to the OTS, if it remains 
adequately capitalized, as described above, after the distribution is made.  
Any other association seeking to make a capital distribution that would not 
cause the association to fall below the capital levels to qualify as 
adequately capitalized or better, would have to provide notice to the OTS.  
Except under limited circumstances and with OTS approval, no capital 
distributions would be permitted if it caused the association to become 
undercapitalized.

      Holding Company Regulation.   The Holding Company is a savings and 
loan holding company within the meaning of the HOLA.  As such, the Holding 
Company has registered with the OTS and is subject to OTS regulations, 
examination, supervision, and reporting requirements.

      The HOLA generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company from 
controlling any other savings and loan association or savings and loan 
holding company, without prior approval of the OTS, or from acquiring or 
retaining more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings and loan 
association or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary.  Under 
certain circumstances, a savings and loan holding company is permitted to 
acquire, with the approval of the OTS, up to 15% of the previously unissued 
voting shares of an undercapitalized savings and loan association for cash 
without being deemed to control  the  association.  Except  with  the  prior 
approval  of  the  OTS, no  director or officer of  a savings and loan  
holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more 
than 25% of such company's stock may also acquire control of any savings 
institution, other than a subsidiary institution, or any other savings and 
loan holding company.

      The Holding Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company.  
Under current law, there are generally no restrictions on the activities of 
unitary savings and loan holding companies and such companies are the only 
financial institution holding companies which may engage in commercial, 
securities, and insurance activities without limitation.  The broad latitude 
under current law can be restricted if the OTS determines that there is 
reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan 
holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial 
safety, soundness, or stability of its subsidiary savings and loan 
association.  The OTS may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to 
address such risk, including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the 
savings and loan association; (ii) transactions between the savings and loan 
association and its affiliates; and (iii) any activities of the savings and 
loan association that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of 
the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings and 
loan association.  Notwithstanding the foregoing rules as to permissible 
business activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company, if the 
savings and loan association subsidiary of a holding company fails to meet 
the QTL, then such unitary holding company would become subject to the 
activities restrictions applicable to multiple holding companies.  At 
December 31, 1997, Industrial met the QTL.

      Congress is considering legislation which may limit the Holding 
Company's ability to engage in these activities and the Holding Company 
cannot predict if and in what form these proposals might become law.  
However, such limits would not impact the Holding Company's initial activity 
of holding the stock of Industrial.

      If the Holding Company were to acquire control of another savings 
institution, other than through a merger or other business combination with 
Industrial, the Holding Company would become a multiple savings and loan 
holding company.  Unless the acquisition is an emergency thrift acquisition 
and each subsidiary savings and loan association meets the QTL, the 
activities of the Holding Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than 
Industrial or other subsidiary savings and loan associations) would 
thereafter be subject to activity restrictions.  The HOLA provides that, 
among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or 
subsidiary thereof that is not a savings institution shall commence or 
continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and 
loan holding company or subsidiary thereof, any business activity other than 
(i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings 
institution; (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business; (iii) 
holding, managing or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a 
subsidiary savings institution; (iv) holding or managing properties used or 
occupied by a subsidiary savings institution; (v) acting as trustee under 
deeds of trust; (vi) those activities previously directly authorized by 
federal regulation as of March 5, 1987, to be engaged in by multiple holding 
companies; or (vii) those activities authorized by the FRB as permissible 
for bank holding companies, unless the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits 
such activities for savings and loan holding companies, and which have been 
approved by the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple holding company.

      The OTS may approve an acquisition resulting in the formation of a 
multiple savings and loan holding company that controls savings and loan 
associations in more than one state only if the multiple savings and loan 
holding company involved controls a savings and loan association that 
operated a home or branch office in the state of Industrial to be acquired 
as of March 5, 1987, or if the laws of the state in which the institution to 
be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be acquired by 
state-chartered institutions or savings and loan holding companies located 
in the state where the acquiring entity is located (or by a holding company 
that controls such state-chartered savings institutions).  As under prior 
law, the OTS may approve an acquisition resulting in a multiple savings and 
loan holding company controlling savings and loan associations in more than 
one state in the case of certain emergency thrift acquisitions.  Bank 
holding companies have had more expansive authority to make interstate 
acquisitions than savings and loan holding companies since August 1995.

FDIC Regulations

      Deposit Insurance. The FDIC is an independent federal agency that 
insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally-
insured banks and thrifts and safeguards the safety and soundness of the 
banking and thrift industries.  The FDIC administers two separate insurance 
funds, Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") for commercial banks and state 
savings banks and the SAIF for savings associations. The FDIC is required to 
maintain designated levels of reserves in each fund.  Industrial's deposit 
accounts are insured by the FDIC in the SAIF up to the prescribed limits.  
The FDIC has examination authority over all insured depository institutions, 
including Industrial, and has authority to initiate enforcement actions 
against federally-insured savings associations if the FDIC does not believe 
the OTS has taken appropriate action to safeguard safety and soundness and 
the deposit insurance fund.

      The FDIC is required to maintain designated levels of reserves in each 
fund.  The FDIC may increase assessment rates for either fund if necessary 
to restore the fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits to its target 
level within a reasonable time and may decrease such rates if such target 
level has been met.  The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system 
for both SAIF and BIF members.  Under this system, assessments vary based on 
the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.  The risk 
level is determined based on the institution's capital level and the FDIC's 
level of supervisory concern about the institution.  BIF assessments for 
healthy banks in 1997 were $.013 per $100 in deposits, and SAIF assessments 
for healthy institutions in 1997 were $.064 per $100 in deposits.

FRB Regulations

      FRB regulations currently require savings associations to maintain 
reserves of 3% of net transaction accounts (primarily NOW accounts) up to 
$49.3 million (subject to an exemption of up to $4.4 million), and of 10% of 
net transaction accounts over $49.3 million.  At December 31, 1997, 
Industrial was in compliance with this reserve requirement.

Federal Home Loan Banks

      The FHLBs provide credit to their members in the form of advances.  
Industrial is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati and must maintain an 
investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati in an amount equal 
to the greater of 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 
Industrial's residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, and 
similar obligations at the beginning of each year, and 5% of its advances 
from the FHLB.  Industrial was in compliance with this requirement with an 
investment in stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati of $2.9 million at 
December 31, 1997.

      Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, the FHLB of 
Cincinnati is required by law to obtain and maintain a security interest in 
collateral in one or more of the following categories:  fully disbursed, 
whole first mortgage loans on improved residential property or securities 
representing a whole interest in such loans; securities issued, insured or 
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or an agency thereof; deposits in any 
FHLB; or other real estate related collateral (up to 30% of the member 
association's capital) acceptable to the applicable FHLB, if such collateral 
has a readily ascertainable value and the FHLB can perfect its security 
interest in the collateral.

      Each FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment 
or service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term 
advances from the FHLBs.  The standards take into account a member's 
performance under the Community Reinvestment Act and its record of lending 
to first-time home buyers.  All long-term advances by each FHLB must be made 
only to provide funds for residential housing finance.


                                  TAXATION

Federal Taxation

      The Holding Company and Industrial are each subject to the federal tax 
laws and regulations which apply to corporations generally.  In addition to 
the regular income tax, the Holding Company and Industrial may be subject to 
an alternative minimum tax.  An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a 
minimum tax rate of 20% on "alternative minimum taxable income" (which is 
the sum of a corporation's regular taxable income, with certain adjustments, 
and tax preference items), less any available exemption.  Such tax 
preference items include interest on certain tax-exempt bonds issued after 
August 7, 1986.  In addition, 75% of the amount by which a corporation's 
"adjusted current earnings" exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income 
computed without regard to this preference item and prior to reduction by 
net operating losses, is included in alternative minimum taxable income.  
Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum 
taxable income.  The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it 
exceeds the corporation's regular income tax.  Payments of alternative 
minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future 
years.  The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 repealed the alternative minimum tax 
for certain "small corporations" for tax years beginning after December 31, 
1997.  A corporation initially qualifies as a small corporation if it had 
average gross receipts of $5,000,000 or less for the three tax years ending 
with its first tax year beginning after December 31, 1997.  Once a 
corporation is recognized as a small corporation, it will continue to be 
exempt from the alternative minimum tax for as long as its average gross 
receipts for the prior three-year period do not exceed $7,500,000.  In 
determining if a corporation meets this requirement, the first year that it 
achieved small corporation status is not taken into consideration.

      Based on Industrial's average gross receipts of $25.8 million for the 
three tax years ending on December 31, 1997, Industrial would not qualify as 
a small corporation exempt from the alternative minimum tax.

      Prior to the enactment of the Small Business Jobs Protection Act (the 
"Small Business Act"), which was signed into law on August 21, 1996, certain 
thrift institutions, were allowed deductions for bad debts under methods 
more favorable than those granted to other taxpayers.  Qualified thrift 
institutions could compute deductions for bad debts using either the 
specific charge off method of Section 166 of the Code, or one of the two 
reserve methods of Section 593 of the Code.  The reserve methods under 
Section 593 of the Code permitted a thrift institution annually to elect to 
deduct bad debts under either (i) the "percentage of taxable income" method 
applicable only to thrift institutions, or (ii) the "experience" method that 
also was available to small banks.  Under the "percentage of taxable income" 
method, a thrift institution generally was allowed a deduction for an 
addition to its bad debt reserve equal to 8% of its taxable income 
(determined without regard to this deduction and with additional 
adjustments).  Under the experience method, a thrift institution was 
generally allowed a deduction for an addition to its bad debt reserve equal 
to the greater of (i) an amount based on its actual average experience for 
losses in the current and five preceding taxable years, or (ii) an amount 
necessary to restore the reserve to its balance as of the close of the base 
year.  A thrift institution could elect annually to compute its allowable 
addition to bad debt reserves for qualifying loans either under the 
experience method or the percentage of taxable income method.

      The Small Business Act eliminated the percentage of taxable income 
reserve method of accounting for bad debts by thrift institutions, effective 
for taxable years beginning after 1995.  Thrift institutions that would be 
treated as small banks are allowed to utilize the experience method 
applicable to such institutions, while thrift institutions that are treated 
as large banks are required to use only the specific charge off method.

      A thrift institution required to change its method of computing 
reserves for bad debts will treat such change as a change in the method of 
accounting, initiated by the taxpayer, and having been made with the consent 
of the Secretary of the Treasury.  Section 481(a) of the Code requires 
certain amounts to be recaptured with respect to such change.  Generally, 
the amounts to be recaptured will be determined solely with respect to the 
"applicable excess reserves" of the taxpayer.  The amount of the applicable 
excess reserves will be taken into account ratably over a six-taxable year 
period, beginning with the first taxable year beginning after 1995, subject 
to the residential loan requirement described below.  In the case of a 
thrift institution that becomes a large bank, the amount of the 
institution's applicable excess reserves generally is the excess of (i) the 
balances of its reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans 
(generally loans secured by improved real estate) and its reserve for losses 
on nonqualifying loans (all other types of loans) as of the close of its 
last taxable year beginning before January 1, 1996, over (ii) the balances 
of such reserves as of the close of its last taxable year beginning before 
January 1, 1988 (i.e., the "pre-1988 reserves").  In the case of a thrift 
institution that becomes a small bank, the amount of the institution's 
applicable excess reserves generally is the excess of (i) the balances of 
its reserve for losses on qualifying real  property loans and its reserve 
for losses on nonqualifying loans as of the close of its last taxable year 
beginning before January 1, 1996, over (ii) the greater of the balance of 
(a) its pre-1988 reserves or (b) what the thrift's reserves would have been 
at the close of its last year beginning before January 1, 1996, had the 
thrift always used the experience method.

      For taxable years that begin on or after January 1, 1996, and before 
January 1, 1998, if a thrift meets the residential loan requirement for a 
tax year, the recapture of the applicable excess reserves otherwise required 
to be taken into account as a Code Section 481(a) adjustment for the year 
will be suspended.  A thrift meets the residential loan requirement if, for 
the tax year, the principal amount of residential loans made by the thrift 
during the year is not less then its base amount.  The "base amount" 
generally is the average of the principal amounts of the residential loans 
made by the thrift during the six most recent tax years beginning before 
January 1, 1996.  A residential loan is a loan as described in Section 
7701(a)(19)(C)(v) (generally a loan secured by residential real and church 
property and certain mobile homes), but only to the extent that the loan is 
made to the owner of the property.

      The balance of the pre-1988 reserves is subject to the provisions of 
Section 593(e) as modified by the Small Business Act which require recapture 
in the case of certain excessive distributions to shareholders.  The pre-
1988 reserves may not be utilized for payment of cash dividends or other 
distributions to a shareholder (including distributions in dissolution or 
liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt losses).  
Distribution of a cash dividend by a thrift institution to a shareholder is 
treated as made:  first, out of the institution's post-1951 accumulated 
earnings and profits; second, out of the pre-1988 reserves; and third, out 
of such other accounts as may be proper.  To the extent a distribution by 
Industrial to the Holding Company is deemed paid out of its pre-1988 
reserves under these rules, the pre-1988 reserves would be reduced and 
Industrial's gross income for tax purposes would be increased by the amount 
which, when reduced by the income tax, if any,  attributable to the 
inclusion of such amount in its gross income,  equals the amount deemed paid 
out of the pre-1988 reserves.  As of December 31, 1997, Industrial's pre-
1988 reserves for tax purposes totaled approximately $4.2 million.  
Industrial believes it had approximately $6.0 million of accumulated 
earnings and profits for tax purposes as of December 31, 1997, which would 
be available for dividend distributions, provided regulatory restrictions 
applicable to the payment of dividends are met.  No representation can be 
made as to whether Industrial will have current or accumulated earnings and 
profits in subsequent years.

      The tax returns of Industrial have been audited or closed without 
audit through fiscal year 1994.  In the opinion of management, any 
examination of open returns would not result in a deficiency which could 
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Industrial.

Ohio Taxation

      The Holding Company is subject to the Ohio corporation franchise tax, 
which, as applied to the Holding Company, is a tax measured by both net 
earnings and net worth.  The rate of tax is the greater of (i) 5.1% on the 
first $50,000 of computed Ohio taxable income and 8.9% of computed Ohio 
taxable income in excess of $50,000 and (ii) 0.582% times taxable net worth.  
Under these alternative measures of computing tax liability, the states to 
which a taxpayer's adjusted total net income and adjusted total net worth 
are apportioned or allocated are determined by complex formulas.  The 
minimum tax is $50 per year.

      A special litter tax is also applicable to all corporations, including 
the Holding Company, subject to the Ohio corporation franchise tax other 
than "financial institutions."  If the franchise tax is paid on the net 
income basis, the litter tax is equal to .11% of the first $50,000 of 
computed Ohio taxable income and .22% of computed Ohio taxable income in 
excess of $50,000.  If the franchise tax is paid on the net worth basis, the 
litter tax is equal to .014% times taxable net worth.

      Ohio corporation franchise tax law is scheduled to change markedly as 
a consequences of legislative reforms enacted July 1, 1997.  Tax liability, 
however, continues to be measured by both net income and net worth.  In 
general, tax liability will be the greater of (i) 5.1% on the first $50,000 
of computed Ohio taxable income and 8.5% of computed Ohio taxable income in 
excess of $50,000 or (ii) 0.40% of taxable net worth.  Under these 
alternative measures of computing tax liability, the states to which total 
net income and total net worth will be apportioned or allocated will 
continue to be determined by complex formulas, but the formulas change.  The 
minimum tax will still be $50 per year and maximum tax liability as measured 
by net worth will be limited to $150,000 per year.  The special litter taxes 
remain in effect.  Various other changes in the tax law may affect the 
Holding Company.

      Industrial is a "financial institution" for State of Ohio tax 
purposes.  As such, it is subject to the Ohio corporate franchise tax on 
"financial institutions," which is imposed annually at a rate of 1.5% of 
Industrial's apportioned book net worth, determined in accordance with GAAP, 
less any statutory deduction.  This rate of tax is scheduled to decrease in 
each of the years 1999 and 2000.  As a "financial institution," Industrial 
is not subject to any tax based upon net income or net profits imposed by 
the State of Ohio.

Company Profile
- ---------------

      Industrial Bancorp, Inc. is a savings  and loan holding company 
headquartered   in Bellevue, Ohio.  Its sole subsidiary, Industrial Savings 
and Loan Association, maintains ten full-service offices and one loan 
production office serving communities in seven counties throughout north 
central Ohio.

      Founded in 1890, Industrial Savings and Loan is a state-chartered 
savings and loan association with deposits insured by the FDIC.  Industrial 
Savings and Loan provides traditional banking services including a  wide 
selection of mortgage, loan and deposit products to local consumers and 
businesses.


Dear Shareholders,

      I am pleased to present our Annual Report to Shareholders for 1997.  
This report will show that 1997 was yet another year of increased earnings, 
continued growth and solid performance by Industrial Bancorp common stock.  
The market value of our common stock rose $5.00 per share during 1997, an 
increase of 39.2%.  In addition, regular cash dividends increased to $0.48 
per share during 1997.

      Also during 1997, the Company applied for and received approval from 
the Office of Thrift supervision to repurchase an additional 5% of its total 
outstanding common shares.  Under the repurchase program, which began late 
in 1996, the Company has been able to purchase 451,700 shares of outstanding 
stock as of year-end 1997, with additional stock yet to be purchased.

      Our subsidiary, Industrial Savings and Loan Association, also 
completed a very successful year in 1997.  Having completed its 107th year 
of operation, it continued to grow and prosper.  One of the highlights of 
1997 was the opening of our new loan production office in Mansfield, Ohio.  
We are pleased to have the opportunity to offer our loan products and 
services to the people of Mansfield and Richland County.  Also during 1997, 
we were recognized by the Office of Thrift Supervision as being one of the 
nation's top 102 most consistently profitable thrift institutions.  We are 
very proud to be part of this prestigious group.

      The strength and vitality of Industrial Bancorp, Inc. continues, as 
evidenced by the year-end financial report.  We reached a record high of 
$364.0 million in consolidated assets as of December 31, 1997, which 
represents an 11.5% increase from December 31, 1996.  Also, consolidated 
earnings exceeded $5.1 million, or $1.04 per share.  Lending remained very 
strong in 1997, as we originated $102.8 million in new loans, which 
represents a 25.0% increase over the previous year and the first time in the 
Company's history we generated more than $100 million in loans during a one 
year period.  Savings deposits increased to $271.0 million as of year-end, 
which is also a new record.

      Your Board of Directors also made a commitment in excess of $600,000 
to upgrade the teller terminals in all of our offices and the technology in 
our appraisal office.  Both of the upgrades will be completed in the first 
half of 1998 and will enhance our ability to offer better service to our 
customers.  This new technology will not only assist us in preparing for 
Year 2000 Compliance, but will also take us well into the next century.  We 
are very excited about these advancements in technology and look forward to 
providing better service to our customers in the future.

      On behalf of the directors, management and employees, I would like to 
express our appreciation to you, our shareholders, for your confidence and 
investment in Industrial Bancorp, Inc. and to our valued customers for their 
continued support of Industrial Savings and Loan Association.

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

                                   GENERAL

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In August 1995, Industrial Bancorp, Inc. ("Industrial Bancorp"), acquired 
all of the common shares issued by The Industrial Savings and Loan 
Association ("Industrial Savings") upon its conversion from a mutual savings 
and loan association to a stock savings and loan association (the 
"Conversion").  Since the ownership of such shares constitutes Industrial 
Bancorp's principal business, the consolidated financial condition and 
results of operations discussed below focus principally on the financial 
condition and results of operations of Industrial Savings.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with and 
with reference to the consolidated financial statements, and the notes 
thereto, presented in this Annual Report beginning on page 15.

                       CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The total consolidated assets of Industrial Bancorp amounted to $364.0 
million at December 31, 1997, an increase of $37.4 million from $326.6 
million at December 31, 1996.

Loans receivable increased $35.9 million, or 13%, from $285.8 million at 
December 31, 1996, to $321.7 million at December 31, 1997.  Substantially 
all of this increase was in one- to four-family residential real estate 
loans and home equity loans, which represent 90% of the total loan portfolio 
of Industrial Savings at December 31, 1997.

Investment securities totaled $21.5 million at December 31, 1997, compared 
to $23.8 million at December 31, 1996. Proceeds of $12.0 million from the 
maturities of U.S. Treasury securities were partially offset by purchases of 
$9.0 million of investment securities.  The excess funds were used to 
originate loans.

Cash and cash equivalents were $3.4 million more at December 31, 1997 than 
at December 31, 1996.

Office properties and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted 
to $5.0 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Total deposits increased $11.9 million, or 5%, to $271.0 million at December 
31, 1997, from $259.1 million at December 31, 1996. Certificates of deposit 
increased $12.1 million and passbook savings deposits decreased $788,000.

Due to the favorable interest rate environment, management has chosen to use 
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") to fund loan growth in 
excess of deposit growth.  FHLB advances were $29.0 million at December 31, 
1997 compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 1996.

Shareholders' equity was $60.9 million at December 31, 1997, $1.2 million 
less than the $62.1 million reported at December 31, 1996.  The decline was 
primarily due to the purchase of 401,700 treasury shares at a cost of $5.7 
million during 1997, partially offset by net income of $5.1 million in 1997.

The table on the following page presents certain average-balance 
information, as well as average yields on interest-earning assets and 
average costs of interest-bearing liabilities for the years indicated.  Such 
yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average 
monthly balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, 
respectively, for the years presented.  Average balances are derived from 
monthly ending balances, which do not vary significantly from daily average 
balances.

The table below describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and 
changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities have affected the interest income and interest expense of 
Industrial Savings during the years indicated.  For each category of 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is 
provided for changes attributable to (i) increases and decreases in volume 
(change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) increases and 
decreases in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and (iii) 
total increases and decreases in rate and volume.  The combined effects of 
changes in both volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, have 
been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change 
due to rate.

                       COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earnings Summary.  Industrial Bancorp had consolidated net income of $5.1 
million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $2.4 million for 
1996 and $4.2 million for 1995.  The reduced amount in 1996 was due 
principally to two separate, but individually significant, events which 
occurred during 1996.  The first was the special assessment levied by the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon institutions with deposits 
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The second was 
the impact of the $3.50 per share special return of capital distribution on 
shares held in trust for Industrial Bancorp's Employee Stock Ownership Plan 
("ESOP") but not allocated to ESOP participants.  Industrial Bancorp 
recorded approximately $2.7 million in expense related to these two events.  
See Notes 9 and 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Interest Income.  The consolidated net interest income of Industrial 
Bancorp is primarily dependent upon the net interest income of Industrial 
Savings, which is a function of the difference, or spread, between the 
average yield earned on loans and other interest-earning assets and the 
average rate paid on deposits and borrowings as well as the relative amounts 
of such assets and liabilities.  The interest rate spread is affected by the 
economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand 
and deposit flows.

Net interest income increased to $13.7 million in 1997, compared to $13.6 
million in 1996 and $11.6 million in 1995.  The 1996 increase was primarily 
attributable to an increase in the excess of average interest-earning assets 
over average interest-bearing liabilities to $69.2 million in 1996 from 
$47.8 million in 1995, due to the growth in loans receivable and the reduced 
use of FHLB advances in 1996.  The excess of average interest-earning assets 
over average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $61.7 million in 1997 
as a result of the repurchase of treasury stock which replaced a 
noninterest-bearing funding source with interest-bearing advances from the 
FHLB.

Total interest income increased to $27.8 million in 1997, compared to $25.5 
million in 1996 and $22.9 million in 1995.  The increases were largely due 
to average loans being $32.4 million higher in 1997 than in 1996 and $24.0 
million higher in 1996 than in 1995.  Interest and fees on loans totaled 
$25.8 million in 1997, compared to $23.0 million in 1996 and $20.6 million 
in 1995.  The average yield earned on loans was 8.47% for both 1997 and 
1996, and 8.31% for 1995.  The moderately higher interest rate environment 
experienced in 1996 compared to 1995, stabilized during 1997.

Interest earned on investment securities declined to $1.5 million in 1997, 
compared to $1.7 million in 1996 as the investment portfolio decreased with 
the maturities of U.S. Treasury securities. Additional investments were 
limited during 1997 due to the excess growth of loans over deposits and the 
resultant use of FHLB advances to fund the excess.  The average yield earned 
on investment securities increased to 6.68% for 1997, compared to 6.05% for 
1996, as the maturing investment securities generally earned a rate of 
interest lower than the remaining securities.  Interest earned on investment 
securities was $1.3 million in 1995.  The average yield earned on investment 
securities increased to 6.05% for 1996, compared to 5.71% for 1995, as a 
result of the moderately higher interest rate environment.

Total interest expense increased to $14.1 million in 1997, compared to $11.9 
million in 1996 and $11.2 million in 1995.  The increase in 1997 compared to 
1996 was primarily attributable to the increased use of FHLB advances, which 
averaged $16.6 million in 1997, compared to $462,000 in 1996.  Increased 
reliance upon FHLB advances occurred as the growth in average deposits, from 
$244.9 million in 1996 to $261.4 million in 1997, did not keep pace with 
loan demand.  The average rate paid for deposits increased to 4.98% in 1997 
from 4.84% in 1996 as the mix in the deposit portfolio shifted to a greater 
percentage of certificates of deposit.  The increase in 1996 compared to 
1995 was primarily attributable to growth in average deposits, from $229.1 
million in 1995 to $244.9 million in 1996, coupled with the increase in 
average weighted rate paid from 4.65% in 1995 to 4.84% in 1996.

Yields Earned and Rates Paid.  The spread between the average yield on 
interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities 
was 3.13% for 1997, compared to 3.26% for both 1996 and 1995.  The increase 
in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets was exceeded by the 
increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 1997 
compared to 1996, whereas the increase in the average yield earned on 
interest-earning assets matched the increase in the average rate paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities in 1996 compared to 1995.

The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing 
liabilities was 122.18% at December 31, 1997, compared to 128.21% at 
December 31, 1996 and 119.97% at December 31, 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Industrial Savings maintains an allowance for 
loan losses in an amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate to 
absorb reasonably foreseeable losses inherent in its loan portfolio.  The 
amount of the provision which is charged against earnings each year and 
added to the allowance is based upon management's ongoing review of such 
factors as historical loss performance, general prevailing economic 
conditions, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and 
considerations relating to specific loans, including the ability of the 
borrower to repay the loan and the estimated value of the underlying 
collateral.

The foregoing statement regarding the adequacy of the allowance for loan 
losses is a "forward-looking " statement within the meaning of Section 27A 
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Factors that could affect the adequacy of 
the allowance for loan losses include, but are not limited to, the 
following: (1) changes in the national and local economy which may 
negatively impact the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and which 
may cause the value of real estate and other properties that secure 
outstanding loans to decline; (2) unforeseen adverse changes in 
circumstances with respect to certain large loans; (3) decreases in the 
value of collateral securing consumer loans to amounts equal to less than 
the outstanding balances of the consumer loans; and (4) determinations by 
various regulatory agencies that Industrial Savings must recognize additions 
to its loan loss allowance based on such regulators' judgment of information 
available to them at the time of their examinations.

The provision for loan losses was $186,000 in 1997, compared to $180,000 in 
1996 and 1995.  Industrial Savings had only $2,000 in charge-offs during 
1997, compared to none in 1996 and $17,000 in 1995.  Recoveries totaled 
$1,000 in both 1997 and 1996 and $4,000 in 1995.  Nonperforming loans were 
$206,000 less at December 31, 1997 than at December 31, 1996, which was 
$334,000 less than at December 31, 1995.  At December 31, 1997, the 
allowance for loan losses was 168.76% of nonperforming loans and .54% of 
total loans.  Management determined that a provision for loan losses was 
warranted in 1997 based on the $35.9 million growth in loans receivable. 

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased to $509,000 in 1997, 
compared to $447,000 in 1996 and $398,000 in 1995.  Service fees related to 
the growing deposit base and expanding ATM usage contributed largely to 
these increases.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense amounted to $6.2 million in 1997 
compared to $9.5 million in 1996 and $5.5 million in 1995.  The amount for 
1996 was significantly higher because of the industry-wide special SAIF 
assessment and the employee benefits expense associated with accounting for 
the special return of capital distribution on unallocated ESOP shares.

Salaries and employee benefits were $3.1 million in 1997, compared to $4.3 
million in 1996 and $2.1 million in 1995, due principally to the recording 
of $1.2 million in 1996 associated with the $3.50 per share special return 
of capital distribution related to unallocated ESOP shares.  Salaries and 
employee benefits were also affected by the implementation of the MRP in 
1996, increases in the number of full-time equivalent employees and normal 
pay increases.

State franchise tax increased from $748,000 in 1995 to $843,000 in 1996 due 
to an increase in capital at Industrial Savings during 1996, and decreased 
to $524,000 in 1997, due to an intercompany transfer of capital from 
Industrial Savings to Industrial Bancorp during 1997.  In addition to 
reducing the amount of state franchise tax paid, the transfer will provide 
greater flexibility for the parent company.

Federal deposit insurance premiums were reduced to $135,000 in 1997, from 
$2.1 million in 1996, which included the $1.5 million special assessment 
upon SAIF-insured deposits, and $531,000 in 1995.

Data processing and related fees, which are based on the outstanding number 
of loan and deposit accounts, increased to $370,000 in 1997 from $355,000 in 
1996 and $339,000 in 1995.  Total occupancy and equipment and depreciation 
expense increased to $638,000 for 1997, compared to $601,000 for 1996 and 
$591,000 in 1995.  Other expenses increased $80,000 in 1997 compared to 
1996, and $139,000 in 1996 compared to 1995, due principally to increased 
lending activity.

Income Tax Expense.  Fluctuations in income tax expense are primarily 
attributable to the change in net income before taxes.  Income before taxes 
amounted to $7.9 million in 1997, compared to $4.4 million in 1996 and $6.3 
million in 1995.  Despite the lower income before taxes in 1996, the 
provision for income taxes expense remained comparable for all three years 
as the expense related to the special return of capital distribution as 
applied to unallocated ESOP shares was not deductible for tax purposes in 
1996.

                                ASSET QUALITY

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industrial Savings has consistently maintained a high quality loan 
portfolio, as evidenced by its level of nonperforming assets which consists 
of nonperforming loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure or by 
deed-in-lieu thereof.

The following table summarizes Industrial Savings' nonperforming assets for 
the periods indicated:

Industrial Savings' allowance for loan losses has increased, consistent with 
growth in the loan portfolio, over the past five years and stood at $1.7 
million at December 31, 1997 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 1993. 
As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses has 
steadily increased from 51.92% at December 31, 1993 to 168.76% at December 
31, 1997.  Over the last five years, Industrial Savings has experienced 
total charge-offs of $42,000 and total recoveries of $25,000.

                       ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industrial Savings, like other financial institutions, is subject to 
interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice 
differently than its interest-bearing liabilities.  Exposure to interest 
rate risk is measured with the use of interest rate sensitivity analysis to 
estimate the change in the Company's "net portfolio value" ("NPV") in the 
event of hypothetical changes in interest rates.

As part of its efforts to monitor and manage interest rate risk, Industrial 
Savings' asset and liability committee reviews with the Board of Directors, 
on a quarterly basis, reports provided by the Office of Thrift Supervision 
("OTS") and considers methods of maintaining acceptable levels of changes in 
NPV. Industrial Savings' asset and liability management is designed to 
minimize the impact of sudden and sustained changes in interest rates on 
NPV.  If estimated changes to NPV are not within the limits established by 
the Board, the Board may direct management to adjust the asset and liability 
mix to bring interest rate risk within board-approved limits.

Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between 
incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets and other assets and outgoing 
cash flows on interest-bearing liabilities and other liabilities.  The 
application of the NPV methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk 
in the event of a sudden and sustained 1 to 4 percent increase or decrease 
in market rates.

The following table presents, at December 31, 1997, an analysis of the 
interest rate risk of Industrial Savings, as measured by changes in NPV for 
instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of 1% to 4% increments in market 
interest rates.  The table also contains the policy limits set by the Board 
of Directors of Industrial Savings as the maximum change in NPV that the 
Board of Directors deems advisable in the event of various changes in 
interest rates.  Such limits have been established with consideration of the 
dollar impact of various rate changes and the strong capital position of 
Industrial Savings.

</TABLE>

Based on the information presented in the foregoing table, in the event that 
interest rates rise from the recent low levels, the net interest income of 
Industrial Savings could be negatively affected.  Moreover, rising interest 
rates could negatively affect the earnings of Industrial Savings due to 
diminished loan demand.  Industrial Savings attempts to mitigate interest 
rate risk by originating adjustable-rate loans and by maintaining its status 
as an approved Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation seller/servicer.  The 
ability to sell certain loans will provide Industrial Savings the 
opportunity to continue to offer fixed-rate mortgage loans to its customers 
without retaining all of the interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate 
loans.

NPV is calculated by the OTS using information provided by the Company.  
Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are 
based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest 
rates, loan prepayments and deposit run-off, and should not be relied upon 
as indicative of actual results.  Further the computations do not 
contemplate any actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in 
interest rates.

                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industrial Bancorp's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash 
equivalents, is a result of its operating, investing and financing 
activities.  These activities, on a consolidated basis, are summarized in 
the following table for the years indicated:

</TABLE>

The principal sources of funds for Industrial Savings are deposits, FHLB 
borrowings, loan repayments, maturity of investment securities and funds 
generated through operations.  While scheduled loan repayments and maturing 
investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan prepayments 
are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and 
competition.  Industrial Savings maintains a level of investment in liquid 
assets which is based upon management's assessment of (i) the need for 
funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term 
liquid assets and (iv) the objectives of the asset and liability management 
program of Industrial Savings.

OTS regulations presently require Industrial Savings to maintain an average 
daily balance of liquid assets, which may include, but are not limited to, 
investments in U. S. Treasury and federal agency obligations and other 
investments generally having maturities of five years or less, in an amount 
equal to 4% of the sum of Industrial Savings' average daily balance of net 
withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less.  
The liquidity requirement, which may be changed from time to time by the OTS 
to reflect changing economic conditions, is intended to provide a source of 
relatively liquid funds upon which Industrial Savings may rely if necessary 
to fund deposit withdrawals or other short-term funding needs.  At December 
31, 1997, the regulatory liquidity ratio of Industrial Savings was 4.69%.  
At such date, Industrial Savings had commitments to originate loans and 
loans in process totaling $24.2 million and no commitments to purchase or 
sell loans.  Industrial Savings considers its liquidity and capital reserves 
sufficient to meet its foreseeable short-term and long-term needs.

Industrial Savings is required by OTS regulations to maintain specified 
minimum amounts of capital.  At December 31, 1997, Industrial Savings 
exceeded all applicable minimum capital requirements. The following table 
summarizes the regulatory capital requirements and actual capital of 
Industrial Savings at December 31, 1997:

- --------------------
<F1>   In May 1996, Industrial Bancorp paid a $3.50 per share special return 
       of capital distribution.

</TABLE>

The income of Industrial Bancorp on an unconsolidated basis consists of 
dividends, which may periodically be declared and paid on the common shares 
of Industrial Savings held by Industrial Bancorp, and earnings on other 
investments.  At December 31, 1997, investments of Industrial Bancorp, other 
than its investment in Industrial Savings, consisted of a $3.7 million loan 
to the ESOP, a loan of $19.5 million to Industrial Savings to be used for 
operations and investment purposes and $538,000 on deposit with Industrial 
Savings.

In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, OTS regulations 
impose limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital 
distributions by savings associations.  Under OTS regulations applicable to 
converted savings associations, Industrial Savings is not permitted to pay a 
cash dividend on its common shares if the regulatory capital of Industrial 
Savings would, as a result of the payment of such dividend, be reduced below 
the amount required for the liquidation account (which was established for 
the purpose of granting a limited priority claim on the assets of Industrial 
Savings, in the event of a complete liquidation, to those members of 
Industrial Savings before the Conversion who maintain a savings account at 
Industrial Savings after the Conversion) or applicable regulatory capital 
requirements prescribed by the OTS.  OTS regulations applicable to all 
savings associations provide that a savings association which immediately 
prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to, a proposed 
capital distribution (including a dividend) has total capital (as defined by 
OTS regulations) that is equal to or greater than the amount of its capital 
requirements is generally permitted without OTS approval (but subsequent to 
30 days' prior notice to the OTS) to make capital distributions, including 
dividends, during a calendar year in an amount not to exceed the greater of 
(1) 100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar year, plus an 
amount equal to one-half the amount by which its total capital to assets 
ratio exceeded its required capital to assets ratio at the beginning of the 
calendar year, or (2) 75% of its net earnings for the most recent four-
quarter period.  Savings associations with total capital in excess of the 
capital requirements that have been notified by the OTS that they are in 
need of more than normal supervision will be subject to restrictions on 
dividends.  A savings association that fails to meet current minimum capital 
requirements is prohibited from making any capital distributions without the 
prior approval of the OTS.

Industrial Savings currently meets all of its regulatory capital 
requirements and, unless the OTS determines that Industrial Savings is an 
institution requiring more than normal supervision, Industrial Savings may 
pay dividends in accordance with the foregoing provisions of the OTS 
regulations.

                         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE ISSUES

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industrial Bancorp established a Year 2000 Committee, which includes senior 
management representatives, to assess the risk of potential problems that 
might arise from the failures of computer programming to recognize the year 
2000 and to develop a plan to mitigate any such risk.  Research by the 
committee indicates that the greatest potential impact upon the Company is 
the risk related to vendors used by the Company, particularly Industrial 
Savings' data processing service bureau.  Quarterly progress reports from 
the service bureau indicate levels of manpower and expertise sufficient to 
amend and test the adequacy of their computer programming and systems prior 
to the arrival of the year 2000.  All other vendors used by the Company have 
been identified and requests for year 2000 certifications have been 
forwarded.

The year 2000 compliance program established by the committee includes 
quarterly progress reports submitted to the Board of Directors and a target 
date of December 31, 1998 for required internal testing, which is expected 
to be minimal.  The committee estimates that the impact upon the Company's 
results of operations, liquidity and capital resources will be immaterial.

                   EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several new accounting standards have been issued by the Financial 
Accounting Standards Board, which are effective for the Industrial Bancorp's 
consolidated financial statements for the years ending on or after December 
31, 1997.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting 
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 
Liabilities," issued in 1996, revises the accounting for transfers of 
financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing 
between sales and secured borrowings.  It was originally effective for some 
transactions in 1997 and others in 1998.  SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the 
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125," issued in 
December 1996, defers, for one year, the effective date of provisions 
related to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other similar 
transactions.  The remaining portions of SFAS No. 125 continued to be 
effective January 1, 1997.  This statement did not have a material impact on 
the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," issued in March 1997, is effective for 
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including 
interim periods.  Two measures of earnings per share ("EPS") are defined 
under the new statement.  Basic EPS replaces "primary earnings per share," 
and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  
Basic EPS does not consider dilution from potentially dilutive securities 
such as stock options, warrants, and convertible securities.  Diluted EPS 
replaces "fully diluted earnings per share" and assumes dilutive potential 
common shares have been issued (e.g. through the exercise of dilutive 
options, or the conversion of convertible preferred stock into common 
shares).  The statement further requires that all previously reported 
earnings per share amounts be restated for prior periods.  Adoption of the 
provisions of SFAS No. 128 by Industrial Bancorp did not have any material 
impact on current or prior period earnings per share amounts.

SFAS No. 129, "Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure," issued 
in February 1997 and effective for financial statements for periods ending 
after December 15, 1997, consolidated existing accounting guidance relating 
to disclosure about a company's capital structure.  Public companies 
generally have been required to make disclosures now required by this 
statement and, therefore, it had no impact on the Company.

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," issued in June 1997, 
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.  This statement requires that all 
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as 
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that 
is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  It 
does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires 
that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income 
for the period in that financial statement.

SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other 
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) 
display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately 
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section 
of a statement of financial position.  This statement is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Reclassification of 
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes 
is required.

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information," issued in June 1997, significantly changes the way that public 
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual 
financial statements and requires that 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.  This statement 
uses a "management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive 
information about an enterprise's reportable operating segments which is 
based on reporting information the way the management organizes the segments 
within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing 
performance.  For many enterprises, the management approach will likely 
result in more segments being reported.  In addition, SFAS No. 131 requires 
significantly more information to be disclosed for each reportable segment 
than is presently being reported in annual financial statements and also 
requires that selected information be reported in interim financial 
statements. This statement is effective for financial statements for periods 
beginning after December 15, 1997.


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Industrial Bancorp, Inc.
Bellevue, Ohio


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Industrial 
Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated 
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Industrial Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results 
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of Industrial Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its wholly-
owned subsidiary, Industrial Savings and Loan Association (Industrial).  All 
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Industry Segment Information:  The Company grants residential, consumer and 
commercial loans to customers located primarily in north-central Ohio.  
These loans account for substantially all of the Company's revenues.  Real 
estate loans make up approximately 99% of the Company's loan portfolio and 
the remaining 1% is made up of consumer and commercial loans.

Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses 
during the reporting period.  Areas involving the use of management's 
estimates and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses, the 
realization of deferred tax assets, the determination and carrying value of 
impaired loans, depreciation of premises and equipment, and the carrying 
value of other real estate recognized in the Company's financial statements. 
Estimates that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the 
allowance for loan losses and the fair value of certain financial 
instruments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments 
are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as 
more fully disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties 
and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, 
prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets 
for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could 
significantly affect the estimates.  The fair value estimates of existing 
on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments do not include the value of 
anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not 
considered financial instruments.

Statement of Cash Flows:  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and 
cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with financial 
institutions and overnight deposits.  Overnight deposits are sold for one-
day periods.  The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan 
transactions, deposit transactions and time deposits made with other 
financial institutions.

Investment Securities:  Securities classified as held to maturity are those 
that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.  
Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of 
premiums and accretion of discounts.  Securities classified as available for 
sale are those that have no stated maturity or those that management intends 
to sell or that could be sold for liquidity, investment management, or 
similar reasons, even if there is not a present intention for such a sale.  
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized 
gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders' equity, 
net of tax.

Gains or losses on dispositions are based on net proceeds and the adjusted 
carrying amount of securities sold, using the specific identification 
method.

Office Properties and Equipment:  Office properties and equipment are stated 
at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed principally 
on the straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated useful 
lives of the respective properties and equipment.  Maintenance and repairs 
are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized.

Real Estate Owned:  Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-
lieu-of-foreclosure is initially recorded at the estimated fair value less 
estimated selling expenses.  The costs of preparing properties for their 
intended use are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of 
properties are expensed.  Any subsequent reductions in the estimated fair 
value are reflected through a charge to operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an 
allowance for loan losses is maintained.  Increases to the allowance are 
recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Estimating the 
risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.  
Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered 
adequate to cover possible losses that are currently anticipated based on 
past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about 
specific borrower situations, including their financial position and 
collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to 
change over time.  While management may periodically allocate portions of 
the allowance for specific problem loans, the whole allowance is available 
for any loan charge-offs that occur.  A loan is charged off by management as 
a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and 
future recoveries may occur.

Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not 
anticipated.  Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected 
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair 
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  A portion of 
the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans.

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.  Mortgage loans secured by other 
properties are evaluated individually for impairment.  When analysis of 
borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying 
cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt 
service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment.  Loans are 
generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due.  These 
loans are often also considered impaired.  Impaired loans, or portions 
thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Interest Income on Loans:  Interest on loans is accrued over the term of the 
loans based upon the principal outstanding.  Management reviews loans 
delinquent 90 days or more to determine if the interest accrual should be 
discontinued.  The carrying value of impaired loans reflects cash payments, 
revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present value 
of expected cash flows due to the passage of time.  Cash payments 
representing interest income are reported as such and other cash payments 
are reported as reductions in carrying value.  Increases or decreases in 
carrying value due to changes in estimates of future payments or the passage 
of time are reported as reductions or increases in bad debt expense.

Loan Fees and Costs:  The Company defers loan origination fees, net of 
direct loan origination costs, and recognizes them over the life of the loan 
as a yield adjustment.  The net amount deferred is reported as a reduction 
of loans.  

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:  The Company has established an employee 
stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the benefit of substantially all employees 
of the Company and Industrial.  The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company 
with which to acquire common shares of the Company.  The loan is secured by 
the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP 
with funds from Industrial's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and 
earnings on ESOP assets.  All dividends on unallocated shares received by 
the ESOP are used to pay debt service, or, at the Company's discretion, may 
be allocated to the ESOP participants and recorded as compensation expense.  
The shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account 
for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.  As payments are 
made, the shares are released from the suspense account and allocated to the 
participants.  As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports 
compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and 
the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

Stock Compensation:  Expense for employee compensation under stock option 
plans is based on Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, with expense 
reported only if options are granted below market price at grant date.  Pro 
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share are provided as if 
the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 
No.123 were used for stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes:  The Company records income tax expense based on the amount of 
taxes 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 currently 
enacted tax rates, adjusted for allowances made for uncertainty regarding 
the realization of net tax assets.

Commitments and Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk:  The 
Company, in the normal course of business, makes commitments to extend 
credit which are not reflected in the financial statements.  A summary of 
these commitments is disclosed in Note 14.

Earnings Per Share:  Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed under 
the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which was adopted 
retroactively by the Company at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 1997.  
Adoption of the Statement did not materially change prior period earnings 
per share amounts.  Basic earnings per share have been computed based on the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 
period.  Diluted earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted 
average number of shares of common stock considering the dilutive effect of 
the assumed exercise of options outstanding during the period.  ESOP shares 
that have not been allocated to participants are not considered outstanding 
for purposes of computing earnings per share.  The number of shares used to 
compute basic and diluted earnings per share were 4,901,711 and 4,964,415 in 
1997, respectively, and 5,127,380 and 5,135,213 in 1996, respectively, and 
5,110,890 in 1995.  Earnings per share for 1995 are based on the earnings 
for the period in which the stock was actually outstanding, August 1, 1995 
to December 31, 1995 and upon 5,110,890 weighted average shares outstanding 
during the five month period.

Reclassifications:  Certain items in the 1996 and 1995 financial statements 
have been reclassified to correspond with the 1997 presentation.


NOTE 2 -CONVERSION TO STOCK FORM OF OWNERSHIP

On January 17, 1995, the Board of Directors of Industrial unanimously 
adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a state-chartered mutual 
savings and loan association to a state chartered stock savings and loan 
association with the concurrent formation of a holding company, Industrial 
Bancorp, Inc.  The conversion was consummated on August 1, 1995 by amending 
Industrial's articles of incorporation and issuing the Company's common 
stock in an amount equal to the market value of Industrial after giving 
effect to the conversion.  A total of 5,554,500 shares of the Company's 
common stock were sold at $10 per share and net proceeds from the sale were 
$54.1 million after deducting the costs of the conversion.

The Company retained 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of common stock.  
The remainder of the net proceeds was invested in the capital stock issued 
by Industrial to the Company in connection with the conversion.

At the time of the conversion, Industrial established a liquidation account 
in the amount of $29.7 million, which was equal to its regulatory capital as 
of the latest practicable date prior to the conversion.  The liquidation 
account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who 
continue to maintain their accounts at Industrial after the conversion.  The 
liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible 
depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits.  Subsequent increases in 
deposit accounts will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in 
the liquidation account.  In the event of a complete liquidation, each 
eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the 
liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted 
qualifying balances for accounts then held.  Industrial may not pay 
dividends that would reduce shareholders' equity below the required 
liquidation account balance.

NOTE 8 - PENSION PLAN

Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company sponsored a defined benefit pension 
plan for all eligible employees.  Retirement benefits were based on years of 
service and the employee's compensation.  On February 20, 1996, the Board of 
Directors approved a resolution to terminate the pension plan effective 
December 31, 1995.  This eliminated the accrual of benefits for future 
services, except for additional benefits that accrued for employees during 
the Plan year beginning in 1995.  The nonvested accumulated benefit 
obligation as of December 31, 1995 became vested.  The vested benefit 
obligation was settled by a lump-sum payment to each covered employee in 
December, 1996.  Total contributions made during 1995 for the defined 
benefit pension plan were $151,000.

Net pension expense for 1995 included the following:

<TABLE>

      <S>                                  <C>
      Service cost - benefits earned       $ 92

       benefit obligation                    66

                                           ====

</TABLE>

In determining the net pension expense for 1995, the following assumptions 
were used: a discount rate of 6.50%, a rate of increase in compensation 
levels of 3.00% and a long-term rate of return on assets of 5.75%.


NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In 1996, the Company established an ESOP for the benefit of substantially 
all employees of the Company and Industrial.  The ESOP borrowed funds from 
the Company with which to acquire common shares of the Company.  The loan is 
secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by 
the ESOP with funds from Industrial's discretionary contributions to the 
ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets.  The shares purchased with the loan 
proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as 
the loan is repaid.

The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 
93-6 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  
Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP 
shares in the balance sheet.  As shares are released from collateral, the 
Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of 
the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share 
computations.  Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are reported as a 
reduction of retained earnings.  Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are 
recorded as a reduction of debt, or, at the Company's discretion, may be 
allocated to the ESOP participants and recorded as compensation expense.  
Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the years ended December 31, 
1997 and 1996 were approximately $655,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.  
Approximately $1.2 million of the 1996 ESOP expense was related to the $3.50 
per share return of capital.  Of the return of capital corresponding to ESOP 
shares, approximately 25% was recorded as a reduction of debt while the 
remainder was allocated to the participants and, therefore, recorded as 
compensation expense.

ESOP shares as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company sponsors a stock option plan which authorizes the Stock Option 
and Incentive Plan Committee of the Board of Directors to grant options to 
certain officers and directors of Industrial and the Company.  A total of 
555,450 common shares were reserved for issuance under the Plan.  Options 
may be granted at a price not less than fair market value at the date of 
grant.  Options to purchase 388,815 shares were granted during 1996 at an 
exercise price of $11.00 per share.  One-fifth of the options awarded become 
exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant.  
The option period expires 10 years from the date of grant.  No options were 
granted during 1997 and 77,763 options were exercisable as of December 31, 
1997.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting 
for its plans.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for 
its stock option plans as the market value of the Company's common stock was 
less than the exercise price of the options at the date of grant.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but 
does not require, entities to use a "fair value based method" to account for 
stock-based compensation plans.  If the fair value accounting encouraged by 
SFAS No. 123 is not adopted, entities must disclose the pro forma effect on 
net income and on earnings per share had the fair value accounting been 
adopted.  The fair value of a stock option is estimated using an option 
pricing model which considers the current price of the stock, expected price 
volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate.  
Once estimated, the fair value of an option is not later changed.  Had 
compensation cost been determined based on the fair value guidelines of SFAS 
No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for 1997 and 1996 
would have been:

</TABLE>

The following assumptions were used under the Black-Sholes option pricing 
model for purposes of the pro forma disclosures above: a risk-free interest 
rate of 6.34%, a dividend yield of 3.86%, volatility factors of the expected 
market price of the Company's common stock of 40.8%, and an expected life of 
the option of 7.5 years.  Based on these assumptions the estimated fair 
value of the options granted during 1996 was $3.57 per share.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating 
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are 
fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the input 
of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price 
volatility.  Because the Company's employee stock options have 
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and 
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect 
the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not 
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its 
employee stock options.

In future years, the pro forma effect of not applying SFAS No. 123 is 
expected to increase as additional options are granted and as outstanding 
options continue to vest.


NOTE 11 - MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PLAN

A management recognition plan (MRP) was adopted by the Board of Directors on 
February 20, 1996 and approved by the shareholders of the Company on April 
16, 1996.  The MRP will be used as a means of providing directors and 
certain key employees of Industrial with an ownership interest in the 
Company in a manner designed to compensate such directors and key employees 
for services to Industrial.  Industrial contributed sufficient funds to 
enable the MRP to purchase a number of common shares in the open market 
which is equal to 4% of the common shares sold in connection with the 
Conversion.

On May 1, 1996, the Management Recognition Plan Committee of the Board of 
Directors awarded 222,180 shares to certain directors and officers of 
Industrial and the Company.  No shares had been previously awarded.  One-
fifth of such shares will be earned and nonforfeitable on each of the first 
five anniversaries of the date of the awards.  In the event of the death or 
disability of a participant, however, the participant's shares will be 
deemed to be earned and nonforfeitable upon such date.  At December 31, 
1997, there were 500 shares that had not been awarded.  Compensation 
expense, which is based upon the cost of the shares, was $526,000 and 
$351,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


NOTE 12 - FDIC INSURANCE

The deposits of savings associations such as Industrial are presently 
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the SAIF), which, along 
with the Bank Insurance Fund (the BIF), is one of the two insurance funds 
administered by the FDIC.  Financial institutions which are members of the 
BIF had historically experienced substantially lower deposit insurance 
premiums because the BIF had achieved its required level of reserves, while 
the SAIF had not.  In 1996, the Omnibus Bill became law and included 
provisions designed to recapitalize the SAIF and to mitigate the BIF/SAIF 
premium disparity. As a result, the FDIC levied a special assessment of 65.7 
cents per $100 of SAIF insured deposits at March 31, 1995.  The Company's 
special assessment was paid in November of 1996, from working capital of 
Industrial, and totaled $1.0 million after taxes.  Following the special 
assessment, the FDIC reduced the annual assessment rates for SAIF-insured 
institutions to bring them in line with BIF assessment rates.

Industrial will continue to be subject to an assessment to fund the 
repayment of the FICO obligations. The FICO assessment for SAIF-insured 
institutions is approximately 6.5 cents per $100 of deposits while BIF-
insured institutions pay approximately 1.5 cents per $100 of deposits until 
the year 2000 when the assessment will be imposed at the same rate on all 
FDIC-insured institutions.

</TABLE>

The Company has not established a valuation allowance as it is management's 
belief that it has adequate taxable income and carrybacks to realize 
recorded deferred tax assets.

In years prior to 1996, Industrial was permitted to determine taxable income 
after deducting a provision for bad debts in excess of such provision 
recorded in the financial statements.  Accordingly, retained earnings at 
December 31, 1997 includes approximately $4.2 million for which no provision 
for federal income taxes has been made.  If this portion of retained 
earnings is used in the future for any purpose other than to absorb bad 
debts, it will be added to future taxable income.  The related amount of 
unrecognized deferred tax liability was approximately $1.4 million at 
December 31, 1997.


NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

Industrial is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk 
in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers.  
These financial instruments include commitments to make loans.  Industrial's 
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to 
the financial instrument for commitments to make loans is represented by the 
contractual amount of those instruments.  Industrial follows the same credit 
policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded in 
the financial statements.

As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, Industrial had commitments to make loans 
at market rates and loans in process to be funded in six months or less 
approximating $24.1 million and $20.8 million, respectively.  Approximately 
$11.4 million and $9.5 million of these commitments had fixed rates at 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The interest rates on these 
commitments ranged from 6.75% to 8.00% for variable rate loans and from 
6.75% to 8.75% for fixed rate loans at December 31, 1997.  Loan commitments 
are generally for 30 days from the time management approves the loan.  Since 
loan commitments may expire without being used, the amount does not 
necessarily represent future cash commitments.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Industrial was required by the Federal 
Reserve Bank of Cleveland to maintain cash reserves of $436,000 and 
$417,000, respectively.  These reserves do not earn interest.


NOTE 15 - RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Industrial is subject to various regulatory capital requirements 
administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum 
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions that, if 
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial 
statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework 
for prompt corrective action, Industrial must meet specific capital 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Industrial's assets, 
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under 
regulatory accounting practices.

Industrial's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to 
qualitative judgments by the regulators about Industrial's capital 
components, risk weightings and other factors.  Based on Industrial's 
computed regulatory capital ratios, Industrial is considered well 
capitalized under Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act at 
December 31, 1997.  Management believes no conditions or events have 
occurred since December 31, 1997 that would change Industrial's category.

Federal regulations limit all capital distributions, including cash 
dividends, by savings associations.  The regulation establishes a three-
tiered system of restrictions, with the greatest flexibility afforded to 
thrifts which are both well-capitalized and given favorable qualitative 
examination ratings.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, Industrial's actual capital levels (in 
thousands) and minimum required levels were:

</TABLE>

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following 
assumptions were used.  The estimated fair value for cash and cash 
equivalents and accrued interest is considered to approximate cost.  The 
estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted market values for the 
individual securities or for equivalent securities.  The estimated fair 
value for commercial loans is based on estimates of the difference in the 
interest rate Industrial would charge borrowers for similar loans with 
similar maturities made at December 31, applied for an estimated time period 
until the loan is assumed to reprice or be repaid.  The estimated fair value 
for other loans is based on estimates of the rate Industrial would charge 
for similar loans at December 31, applied over estimated payment periods.  
The estimated fair value for demand and savings deposits is based on their 
carrying value.  The estimated fair value for certificates of deposit and 
FHLB advances is based on estimates of the rate Industrial would pay on such 
deposits or advances at December 31, applied for the time period until 
maturity.  The estimated fair value of commitments is not material.

While these estimates of fair values are based on management's judgment of 
appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were Industrial to have 
disposed of such items at December 31, 1997 the estimated fair values would 
necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ 
depending on various circumstances.  The estimated fair values at December 
31, 1997 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of Industrial that are not defined 
as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as 
property and equipment.  Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not 
recognized in financial statements may nevertheless have value, but are not 
included in the above disclosures.  These include, among other items, the 
estimated earning power of core deposit accounts, the earning potential of 
loan servicing rights, the value of a trained work force, customer goodwill 
and similar items.
