ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INTRODUCTION

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

In an effort to take advantage of the recently passed Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, otherwise known as the financial modernization act, LNB Bancorp,
Inc. has applied for, and received, one of the first charters as a
financial holding company.  The Act enables financial holding companies
to engage in business activities previously unavailable to them. The
Corporation will also be able to offer new products and services as they
are developed and approved by regulators.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. has a
49 percent interest in a newly formed company named "Charleston Title
Agency LLC".  The main function of Charleston Title Agency LLC is to
provide real estate settlement services via a title insurance agency.
Charleston Title Agency LLC began operations on September 1, 2000.  LNB
Bancorp, Inc. is currently expanding into additional new areas that have
been opened up by the passage of the Financial Modernization Act.  We
look forward to further reporting to you on these matters in our year
end 10K report.

LNB Bancorp, Inc. achieved a significant milestone in its history by the
listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market in the second
quarter of 2000.  The NASDAQ listing will provide greater liquidity for
our stock while enhancing our visibility in the investment community.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
2000, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000  and the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information.  The above mentioned statements reflect all normal and

<PAGE>12
recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been taken from the audited
Financial Statements and condensed.  It is suggested that these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Corporation's December 31, 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders.

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

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Because some loans may not be repaid in full, a reserve for loan losses
is recorded.  This reserve is increased by provisions charged to
earnings and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Estimating the risk of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.
Accordingly, the reserve is maintained by Management at a level
considered adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio
that are currently anticipated based on Management's evaluation of
several key factors including information about specific borrower
situations, their financial position and collateral values, current
economic conditions, changes in the mix and levels of the various types
of loans, past charge-off experience and other pertinent information.
The reserve for loan losses is based on estimates using currently
available information, and ultimate losses may vary from current
estimates due to changes in circumstances.  These estimates are reviewed
periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in
earnings in the periods in which they become known.  While Management
may periodically allocate portions of the reserve for specific problem
situations, the entire reserve is available for any charge-offs that may
occur.  Charge-offs are made against the reserve for loan losses when
Management concludes that it is probable that all or a portion of a
loan is uncollectible.  After a loan is charged-off, collection efforts
continue and future recoveries may occur.

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events,
if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled
payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement.  The measurement of impaired loans is
generally based on the present value of the expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans initial effective interest rate, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair
value of the collateral.  If the loan valuation is less than the
recorded value of the loan, an impairment reserve must be established
for the difference.  The impairment reserve is established by either an
allocation of the reserve for loan losses or by a provision for loan
losses, depending upon the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Corporation increased $26,376,000 during the first
nine months in 2000, to $625,987,000.  This growth was funded by
increases in demand deposits, Market Access and certificates of deposit.

Total earning assets increased 5.0% to $579,874,000 at September 30,
2000 from December 31, 1999.  The ratio of earning assets to total
assets increased from 92.1% at December 31, 1999 to 92.6% at September
30, 2000.  The loan to deposit ratio has increased from 87.04% at 1999
year-end to 89.94% at September 30, 2000.

Federal funds sold and short-term investments decreased by $6,243,000
during the first nine months of 2000.  This decrease is the result of
the bank eliminating its excess liquidity which was built up for Y2K
purposes at 1999 year end.

Total securities increased $3,501,000 ending the third quarter at
$126,820,000.  At September 30, 2000 gross unrealized gains (losses)in
the investment securities portfolio were approximately $94,000 and
($3,246,000), respectively.  The decrease in the market value of the
securities portfolio is due to market interest rate fluctuations and not
due to the deterioration of the credit worthiness of debt issuers.

Net loans grew by $29,944,000 during the first nine months to
$444,793,000 at September 30, 2000 for a 7.2% growth rate.  Commercial
loan growth was strong accounting for almost all of total loan growth
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Loan increase was
supported by spring and summer home equity loan sale programs which
resulted in new loans totaling over $2 million.

The reserve for loan losses ended the quarter at $5,184,000.  Activity
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included provision for loan
losses of $1,250,000, recoveries of $162,000 and loan charge-offs of
$895,000.  The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of ending loans
increased .04% from 1.11% at December 31, 1999 to 1.15% at September 30,
2000.  Corporate management believes that the reserve for loan losses as
a percentage of ending loans at September 30, 2000 remains at an
appropriate level.  The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to

<PAGE>18
nonperforming assets remained at an adequate level even though it
decreased to 296.4% at September 30, 2000.  Also, Corporate management
believes that the current level of the reserve for loan losses is
adequate based upon quantitative analysis of identified risks and
analysis of historical trends, and probable losses inherent in the loan
portfolio at September 30, 2000.

The level of nonperforming assets increased by $410,000 during the first
nine months of 2000.  This increase is the result of an increase in non-
accrual loans of $459,000 offset by a decrease in other foreclosed
assets in the amount of $49,000.  The decrease in other foreclosed
assets results from the liquidation of assets.  The increase in
nonaccrual loans is due to decreases in nonaccrual principal balances of
$1,114,000 which have been paid off and brought current, loans
charged-off in the amount of $279,000, liquidation of non-accrual loans
of $610,000 and increases in nonaccrual principal balances of
$2,462,000.  The increase in nonaccrual loans in the first nine months
of 2000 was due primarily to sixteen commercial loan customers, five
mortgage loan customers and several personal loans, particularly in the
indirect automobile loan category.  Management does not believe that
this increase in non-accrual loans is indicative of a failing local
economy and that this change did not result from any change in
underwriting standards.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2000 totaled $1,749,000, up from
$873,000 at June 30, 2000.  The third quarter increase in nonperforming
assets of $1,236,000 resulted from loans being brought current in the
amount of $7,000, loans charged-off in the amount of $109,000,
liquidation of non-accrual loans of $310,000, decreases in other
foreclosed assets of $200,000 and increases in nonaccrual loans of
$1,502,000.  The increase in nonaccrual loans in the third quarter of
2000 was due primarily to seven commercial loan customers, five mortgage
loan customers and twenty seven consumer loan customers.

The level of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2000 remains at
relatively low levels and Corporate management believes nonperforming
assets are well collateralized.  The table below presents the level of
nonperforming assets at the end of the last four calendar quarters.

Potential problem loans are those loans identified on Management's watch

<PAGE>19
list in which Management has some doubt as to the borrower's ability to
comply with the present repayment terms and loans which Management is
actively monitoring due to changes in the borrower's financial
condition. At September 30, 2000, potential problem loans totaled
$4,241,000, a decrease of $107,000 from the December 31, 1999 balance
of $4,348,000.

LNB Bancorp, Inc. changed its policy on the timing of placing mortgage
loans on non-accrual status during the third quarter of 2000.  The
policy changed from placing loans on non-accrual status based upon
individual credit review to automatically placing loans on non-accrual
status once they are 90 days past due.  The sum of potential problem
loans, accruing loans past 90 days and non-accrual loans has remained
relatively constant at $6,078,000 and $6,140,000 on June 30, 2000 and
September 30, 2000, respectively.  The change during the third quarter
of 2000 in the components of the watch list: potential problem loans,
accruing loans past due 90 days and non-accrual loans has occurred as a
result of the change in the mortgage loan policy as mentioned above.

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

The Corporation had outstanding loan and credit commitments to make
loans totaling $112,872,000 and $87,614,000 at September 30, 2000 and
December 31,1999, respectively.  The increase in outstanding loan
commitments results in part from an increase in the unused portion of
home equity lines of credits from a home equity loan sale program in the
second and third quarters of 2000.  Mortgage and commercial construction
loan demand increased in the second and third quarters of 2000 as
seasonal weather conditions improved and the construction season moved
forward.  Consumer loan demand leveled off in the first, second and
third quarters of 2000.

Total deposits increased $43,489,000 during the first nine months to
$500,320,000.  Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $84,426,000, at
September 30, 2000 for an increase of $3,772,000, while interest-bearing
deposits climbed to $415,954,000 for an increase of $39,597,000.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase decreased $18,582,000 during the first nine months of 2000
due to increases in deposit balances.  Due to the volatility of customer
repurchase agreements, most funds generated by repurchase activity enter
the Corporation's earning assets as short-term investments.  Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased to $32,345,000 at September 30,
2000, down $2,000,000 from 1999 year end.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measures a corporation's ability to generate cash or otherwise
obtain funds at reasonable prices to fund commitments to borrowers as
well as the demand of depositors and debt holders.  Principal internal
sources of liquidity for the Corporation and the Bank are cash and cash
equivalents, Federal funds sold, and the maturity structures of
investment securities and portfolio loans.  Securities and loans

<PAGE>20
available for sale provide another source of liquidity through the cash
flows of these interest-bearing assets as they mature or are sold.
The Corporation continues to maintain a relatively high liquid position
in order to take advantage of interest rate fluctuations.  As of
September 30, 2000, short-term security investments with maturities of
one year or less totalled $11,830,000 which represented 9.3% of total
securities. Adding cash and due from banks of $27,897,000 and Federal
funds sold and short-term investments of $3,077,000, total liquid assets
represented 6.8% of total assets.  The Corporation's subsidiary bank has
established short-term lines of credit at correspondent banks, Federal
Home Loan Bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in the amounts
of $18,000,000, $30,000,000 and $25,621,000, respectively, with credit
available in the amounts of $4,000,000. $22,000,000 and $25,621,000,
respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

LNB Bancorp, Inc. continues to maintain a strong capital position.
Total shareholders' equity reached an all time high of $54,644,000, at
September 30, 2000, an increase of $3,591,000, or 7% from one year ago.
The increase resulted primarily from $6,261,000 of net income generated
from the first nine months of operations less a cash dividend payable to
shareholders of $3,054,000.  The increase in interest rates experienced
in the first three quarters of 2000 has caused a decrease in the market
value of available for sale securities which resulted in a decrease in
shareholders' equity within accumulated other comprehensive income of
$361,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  As of September
30, 2000, the LNB Bancorp, Inc. held 102,000 shares of common stock as
treasury stock.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. purchased 97,996 of these shares in
1997, 2,004 shares in 1998, and 2,000 shares in 2000 for a total cost of
$2,939,000.

The Corporation continues to monitor growth to stay within the
constraints established by the regulatory authorities.  Under Federal
banking regulations, an institution is deemed to be well-capitalized if
it has a Risk-based Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00 percent or greater, a
Risk-based Total capital ratio of 10.00 percent or greater and a
Leverage ratio of 5.00 percent or greater.  The Corporation's Risk-based
capital and Leverage ratios have exceeded the ratios for a
well-capitalized financial institution for all periods presented.   The
Corporation's capital and leverage ratios as of September 30, 2000 and
1999 follow together with those ratios required for the Corporation to
be considered adequately capitalized .

The Corporation regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities and
conducts due diligence activities in connection with possible
acquisitions in markets near or within the Corporation's current
geographic market.  As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some
cases negotiations, take place and future acquisitions could occur.

<PAGE>21
Corporate management believes that it's current capital resources are
sufficient to support any foreseeable acquisition activity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest and fees on loans was $28,751,000 for the first nine months of
2000 for an increase of $3,562,000 when compared to the first nine
months of 1999.  Increased loan income resulted from net increases in
the loan portfolio of $30,461,000 and increases in interest rates.
Interest and dividends on securities was $5,530,000 for the first nine
months of 2000 for an increase of $199,000 over the same period in 1999.
Increased security income results from increase in the volume of
securities and from increases in yields on those securities. Interest
and dividends on securities represented 16.1% of total interest income
at September 30, 2000 compared to 17.3% at September 30, 1999.  Interest
on Federal funds sold and short-term investments was $171,000 at
September 30, 2000 compared to $250,000 at September 30, 1999.  The decrease
resulted from decreases in the average balances invested in
these forms of financial instruments net of increases in interest rates.

Total interest expense increased by $2,581,000 when compared to the
first nine months of 1999.  The interest expense increase was fueled by
an increase in interest expense on deposits of $2,176,000 and repurchase
agreement interest of $485,000, offset by decreases in Federal Home Loan
Bank advances of $80,000.  Also, total interest expense for the first
nine months of 2000 was impacted by a net increase in deposits of
$43,489,000, and by increases in interest rates paid on savings, Market
Access and certificate of deposit accounts when compared to the first
nine months of 1999.

Total other income increased by $106,000 when compared to the first nine
months of 1999.  This increase resulted from increases in income from
investment and trust services fees of $117,000, increases in service
charges of $178,000 and increases in other charges, exchanges and fees
of $1,000.  The increase in service charges is due, in part, to
reevaluating the assessment of transaction account charges plus
increases in the volume of accounts.  The Corporation reported a
non-recurring gain on sale of a building in the second quarter of 1999
of $162,000.  Other operating income decreased by $28,000.

The Corporation continuously monitors noninterest expenses for greater
profitability.  The entire staff is geared to improving productivity at
all levels.  Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $15,877,000, 3.1% above the first nine months of 1999. This
increase was due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits,
furniture and equipment expense and increases in credit card and
merchant expenses.

The effective tax rate remained constant at 34.2% during the first nine
months of 2000 and 1999.  Net income was $6,261,000 and $5,787,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Net
income per basic and diluted share was $1.49 and $1.37 for the nine
months ended September 2000 and 1999, respectively.

 IMPACTS OF ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS

Corporate management is not aware of any current recommendations by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board or by regulatory authorities which,
if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the liquidity,
capital resources or operations of the Corporation.

LNB Bancorp, Inc. is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties
that might have a material effect on the soundness of operations;
neither is LNB Bancorp, Inc. aware of any proposed recommendations by
regulatory authorities which would have a similar effect if implemented.

LNB BANCORP, INC. SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS

On October 24, 2000, the Board of Directors of LNB Bancorp, Inc.
approved a shareholder rights plan.  The rights plan provides to record
owners of common shares at the close of business on November 6, 2000, a
dividend distribution of rights to purchase shares of a new series of
voting preferred stock ("rights").  The rights plan is designed to
prevent a potential acquirer from exceeding a prescribed ownership level
in the Corporation, other in the context of a negotiated acquisition
involving the Board of Directors.  If the prescribed level is exceeded,
the rights become exercisable and, following a limited period for the
Board to redeem the rights, allows shareholders, other that the acquirer
that triggered the exercise of the rights, to purchase Preferred Share
Units of the Corporation having characteristics comparable to the
Corporation's Common Shares, at 50% of market value. This dramatically
dilutes the acquirer's ownership level and voting power and makes it
prohibitively expensive for the acquirer to complete its acquisition of
the Corporation. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth
in a Rights Agreement dated as of October 24, 2000, between LNB Bancorp,
Inc. and Registrar and Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2000.

GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999

In February of 2000, the Corporation filed an application with the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland to be regulated as a financial holding
company. In March of 2000, LNB Bancorp, Inc. received approval to
operate as a financial holding company.  The Corporation is
strategically reviewing its new business opportunities under the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  LNB Bancorp, Inc. is currently expanding into
new areas that have been opened up by the passage of the Financial
Modernization Act.  We look forward to further reporting to you
regarding these matters in our year end 10K report.

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

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from
adverse changes in market indices such as interest rates, foreign
exchange rates and equity prices.  The Corporation's principal market
risk exposure is interest rate risk, with no material impact on earnings
from changes in foreign exchange rates or equity prices.  There have
been no material changes in the asset and liability mix of the
Corporation since December 31, 1999, which would impact the
Corporation's level of market risk.

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

With the Federal Reserve Board's recent announcements to increase the
prime lending rate by 25 basis points to 8.75% on February 3, 2000, and
its subsequent increase by 25 basis points to 9.00% on March 22, 2000,
and subsequent increase by 50 basis points to 9.50% on May 16, 2000, the
Corporation does not anticipate any significant changes in the net
interest margin.  However, the Corporation does anticipate a slight
compression in net interest margin in the 4th quarter of 2000 with
increases in interest expense due to the repricing of certificates of
deposit at higher rates.  Also, Corporate management does not anticipate
any significant changes in the Corporation's market risk of interest
rate risk portfolio.

Message to Our Shareholders

It's a pleasure to report that we are well on our way to another
successful year of operations at LNB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Lorain National Bank.  As of September 30, 2000, we have
achieved significant growth in earnings, dividends, assets, loans,
deposits and shareholders' equity.

We are pleased to announce that earnings increased 8.2% in the first
nine months of 2000 compared with the same period one year ago. Earnings
for the first nine months of 2000 reached $6,261,000, up from $5,787,000
during the first nine months of 1999.  Third quarter's earnings for 2000
significantly passed the $2-million mark for the second consecutive
quarter in the history of LNB Bancorp, Inc.  Earnings for the third
quarter of 2000 were $2,161,000 compared with $1,991,000 for the third
quarter of 1999.

Basic earnings per share for the first nine months of 2000 reached
$1.49, an 8.8% increase over the $1.37 per basic share reported for the
same period in 1999.  Earnings thus far in 2000 were higher than a year
ago because of higher net interest income and other noninterest income,
offset in part by higher operating expenses.  Increases in net interest
income for the nine months were fueled by strong loan growth.

Cash dividends declared per share for the first nine months of 2000
increased 9% compared with the same period last year.  The year-to-date
cash dividends declared per share in 2000 increased by $.06 to $.72 per
share, up from $.66 per share in 1999.  Third quarter 2000 cash
dividends declared surpassed the $1-million mark for the second
consecutive quarter in the Bancorp's history.  In addition to cash
dividends, a 2% stock dividend was paid to shareholders on July 1, 2000.

Asset growth remained solid.  Total assets increased 6.6% to $626.0
million  at September 30, 2000, up $38.5 million from September 30,
1999.  Net loans grew by $35.4 million from one year ago to $444.8
million at September 30, 2000, for an 8.7% increase.  Commercial loan
growth was strong accounting for almost all of the loan growth during
the 12 months ended September 30, 2000.

Total deposits increased 5.3% to $500.3 million, up $25.2 million from
one year ago.  Increases in demand, Market Access and certificates of
deposit accounted for most of the deposit increase.  Lorain National
Bank operates 21 retail branches and 28 Atms in nine local communities.

Total shareholders' equity increased by $4.1 million during the 12
months ended September 30, 2000, for an 8.2% increase.  Total
shareholders' equity amounted to $54.6 million or $12.98 per share at
September 30, 2000 compared with $50.5 million or $12.26 per share at
September 30, 1999. The annualized return on average shareholders'
equity rose to 15.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, up
from 15.58% return for the same period one-year ago.

The Bancorp is currently expanding into new areas that have been opened
up by the passage of the Financial Modernization Act.  We look forward
to further reporting to you regarding these matters in our 2000 Annual
Report.  We appreciate and thank you for your continuing support and

look forward to addressing you after the completion of another
successful year of operations.

Sincerely,

                               Exhibit A

                  SECOND AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                                   OF
                           LNB BANCORP, INC.


      These Second Amended Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") of
LNB Bancorp, Inc. ("Corporation") hereby supersede Corporation's
existing Amended Articles of Incorporation and shall read as follows:

      FIRST.  The name of Corporation shall be LNB Bancorp, Inc.

      SECOND.  The place in Ohio where Corporation's principal office is
 to be located is the City of Lorain, Lorain County.

      THIRD.  The purpose for which Corporation is formed is to engage
in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be formed under
Sections 1701.01 through 1701.98, inclusive, of the Ohio Revised Code,
including (but not limited to) to qualify and act as a "financial
holding company" as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.

      FOURTH.  The number of shares (collectively, the "Shares") which
Corporation is authorized to have outstanding is 16,000,000 Shares
consisting of:  (i) 15,000,000 of common Shares, One Dollar ($1.00) par
value (the "Common Shares"); and (ii) 1,000,000 of voting preferred
Shares, no par value (the "Voting Preferred Shares") as follows:

      A.    Common Shares:

            The holders of the Common Shares are entitled at all times
to one (1) vote for each Share and to such dividends as the Board of
Directors (herein called the "Board") may in its discretion periodically
declare, subject, however, to the voting and dividend rights of the
holders of the Voting Preferred Shares.  In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Corporation, the remaining
assets of Corporation after the payment of all debts and necessary
expenses shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Shares pro
rata in accordance with their respective Share holdings, subject,
however, to the rights of the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares
then outstanding.  The Common Shares are subject to all of the terms and
provisions of the Voting Preferred Shares as established by the Board in
accordance with this Article FOURTH.

      B.    Voting Preferred Shares:

            The Board is hereby expressly authorized in its discretion
to adopt amendments to the Articles to provide for the issuance of one
(1) or more series of Voting Preferred Shares; to establish periodically
the number of Shares to be included in each such series; and to fix the
designation, powers, preferences, dividend rights and other rights of
the Voting Preferred Shares of each such series and any qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by
law.  When voting as a class, the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares
shall be entitled at all times to one (1) vote for each Voting Preferred
Share.  Voting Preferred Shares redeemed or otherwise acquired by

<PAGE>40
Corporation shall become authorized but unissued Voting Preferred
Shares, shall be unclassified as to series, and may thereafter be
reissued in the same manner as other authorized but unissued Voting
Preferred Shares.


      C.    Series A Voting Preferred Shares:

            From the authorized number of Voting Preferred Shares of
Corporation, a series of Voting Preferred Shares designated as "Series A
Voting Preferred Shares" is hereby created and shall consist of 750,000
Shares, without par value, of which the preferences, relative and other
rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof
shall be (in addition to those set forth elsewhere in these Articles) as
follows:

      1.    Dividends and Distribution.

                  (a)   In preference to the holders of Common Shares
and of any outstanding junior Shares of Corporation, but subject to the
prior and superior rights of the holders of any Shares of any series of
Voting Preferred Shares ranking prior and superior to the Shares of
Series A Voting Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders
of Series A Voting Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive (when,
as and if declared by the Board) from funds legally available for the
purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first Business Day
of January, April, July and October in each year (each such date being
referenced herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date", and "Business
Day" meaning any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in the State of Ohio are authorized or obligated by
law or executive order to close), commencing on the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a Share or fraction of
a Share of Series A Voting Preferred Shares.  Such dividends shall be in
an amount per Share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater
of:  (a) One Dollar ($1.00), or (b) subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per Share
amount of all cash dividends and 100 times the aggregate per Share
amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other
distributions (other than a dividend payable in Common Share or other
subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, by reclassification or
otherwise, declared on the Common Shares) since the immediately
preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any Share
or fraction of a Share of Series A Voting Preferred Shares. If
Corporation shall, on or after November 6, 2000 (the "Rights Declaration
Date"), (i) declare any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common
Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine
the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Shares, then (in
each such case) the amount to which holders of Series A Voting Preferred
Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of
the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event.

                  (b)   The Board shall declare a dividend or

<PAGE>41
distribution on the Series A Voting Preferred Shares as provided in
paragraph (a) above immediately after it declares a dividend or
distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend payable in
Shares of Common Shares); provided that, subject to the requirements of
applicable law, in the event no dividend or distribution has been
declared on the Common Shares during the period between any Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, a dividend of One Dollar ($1.00) per Share on the Series A Voting
Preferred Shares shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

                  (c)   Dividends shall accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding Series A Voting Preferred Shares from the Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such Shares of Series A
Voting Preferred Shares, unless:  (i) the date of issue of such Shares
is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in which case dividends on such Shares shall accrue from the date
of issue of such Shares, or (ii) the date of issue is a Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the
determination of holders of Series A Voting Preferred Shares entitled to
receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in either of which events such dividends shall accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued but
unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends paid on Series A
Voting Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such Shares shall be
allocated pro rata on a Share-by-Share basis among all such Shares at
the time outstanding.  The Board may fix a record date for the
determination of holders of Series A Voting Preferred Shares entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which
record date shall be no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date
fixed for the payment thereof.

            2.    Voting Rights.  The holders of Series A Voting
Preferred Shares shall have the following voting rights, in addition to
those set forth elsewhere in this Article FOURTH:

                  (a)   Subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, each Series A Voting Preferred Share shall
entitle the holder thereof to one hundred (100) votes on all matters
submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Corporation.  If Corporation
shall at any time on or after the Rights Declaration Date:  (i) declare
any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivide
the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common
Shares into a small number of Shares, then (in each such case) the
number of votes per Share to which holders of Series A Voting Preferred
Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted
by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding
immediately prior to such event.

                  (b)   Except as otherwise provided herein or by law,
the holders of Series A Voting Preferred Shares and the holders of
Common Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted
to a vote of shareholders of Corporation.

<PAGE>42
                  (c)   Except as set forth herein, the holders of
Series A Voting Preferred Shares shall have no special voting rights and
their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are
entitled to vote as set forth in these Articles or by law) for taking
any corporate action.

            3.    Certain Restrictions.

                  (a)   Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends
or distributions payable on the Series A Voting Preferred Shares as
provided in Section 1 of paragraph C. (Series A Voting Preferred Shares)
of Article FOURTH are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and
unpaid dividends and distributions (whether or not declared) on Series A
Voting Preferred Shares outstanding shall have been paid in full, the
Corporation shall not:

(i)   declare or pay dividends or make any other distributions on Shares
ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up) to the Series A Voting Preferred Shares;

(ii)  declare or pay dividends or make any other distributions on any
Shares ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Voting Preferred Shares,
except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Voting Preferred Shares
and all such parity Shares on which dividends are payable or in arrears
in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
Shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration Shares
ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up) to the Series A Junior Voting Preferred Shares; provided,
however, that Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire any such junior Shares in exchange for any Shares of Corporation
ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation
or winding up) to the Series A Voting Preferred Shares; and

(iv)  purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Series A
Voting Preferred Shares or any Shares ranking on a parity with the
Series A Voting Preferred Shares, except in accordance with a purchase
offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board) to
all holders of such Shares upon such terms as the Board, after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative
rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, determines
in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the
respective series or classes.

                  (b)   Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
Shares of Corporation unless, pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section
3, Corporation could purchase or otherwise acquire such Shares at such
time and in such manner.

            4.    Reacquired Shares.  Any Series A Voting Preferred
Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after such
acquisition.  All such Shares, upon their cancellation, shall become

<PAGE>43
authorized but unissued Voting Preferred Shares, without designation as
to series, and may be reissued as part of any series of Voting Preferred
Shares created by the Board (including Series A Voting Preferred Shares)
subject to the condition and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

            5.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Corporation, no distribution
shall be made to:

                  (a)  The holder of Shares ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series
A Voting Preferred Shares, unless (prior thereto) the holders of Series
A Voting Preferred Shares have received the greater of:  (i) One Dollar
($1.00) per Share ($0.001 per one one-hundredth of a Share), plus an
amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon
(whether or not declared) to the date of such payment, or (ii) an
aggregate amount per Share, subject to the provision for adjustment
herein set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be
distributed per Share to holders of Common Shares; or

                  (b)  The holders of Shares ranking on a parity (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
Series A Voting Preferred Shares, except distributions made ratably on
the Series A Voting Preferred Shares and all other such parity Shares in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such Shares
are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

                   If Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common
Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser
number of Common Shares, then (and in each such event) the aggregate
amount to which the holder of each Share of Series A Voting Preferred
Shares was entitled immediately prior to such event under paragraph (a)
of this Section 5 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.

            6.    Combination.  If Corporation shall enter into any
consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the
Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock, securities,
cash or any other property, then (in each such event) the Series A
Voting Preferred Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed in an amount per Share (subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash or any other property (payable in kind), as the case
may be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or
exchanged.  If, at any time on or after the Rights Declaration Date,
Corporation (i) declares any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common
Shares, (ii) subdivides the outstanding Common Shares; or (iii) combines
the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Shares, then (in
each such case) the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with
respect to the exchange or change of Series A Voting Preferred Shares
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the

<PAGE>44
numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number
of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

            7.    No Redemption.  The Series A Voting Preferred Shares
shall not be redeemable; provided, however, that Corporation may acquire
Series A Voting Preferred Shares in any other manner permitted by law or
these Articles.

            8.    Ranking.  Unless otherwise provided in these Articles
or any subsequent amendment of these Articles relating to a subsequent
series of preferred Shares of Corporation, the Series A Voting Preferred
Shares shall rank junior to all other series of Corporation's Voting
Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of
assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up and shall rank senior
to the Common Shares.

            9.    Amendment.  These Articles shall not be further
amended in any manner which would materially and adversely alter or
change the powers, preference or special rights of the Series A Voting
Preferred Shares without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
a majority of the outstanding Series A Voting Preferred Shares, voting
together as a single series.

            10.   Fractional Shares.  Series A Voting Preferred Shares
may be issued in fractions of a Share (in one one-hundredth (1/100) of a
Share and integral multiples thereof) that shall entitle the holder (in
proportion to such holder's fractional Shares) to exercise voting
rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the
benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Voting Preferred
