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 balance sheets of LNB Bancorp, Inc. (The Parent Company)
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lorain National Bank (The Bank) and
Charleston Insurance Agency, Inc. and a 49% interest in Charleston Title
insurance Agency, LLC., at March 31, 2001, compared to December 31, 2000 and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.  The term "the Corporation"
refers to LNB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  It is the
intent of this discussion to provide the reader with a more thorough
understanding of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with those unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the Corporation's December 31, 2000 Annual Report.

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.

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. is strategically reviewing its new business
opportunities under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
The above mentioned statements reflect all normal and 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
<PAGE>10
presented.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been taken from
the audited Financial Statements and condensed.  It is suggested that
these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's
December 31, 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2001 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
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 is 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.

4. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Board of Directors adopted a dividend reinvestment and cash stock
purchase plan on November 18, 1997.  Under the plan, the first dividend
reinvestment and cash stock purchase date was April 1, 1998.  The plan
allows shareholders to elect to use their quarterly cash dividends to
purchase shares of LNB Bancorp, Inc. common stock.  Additionally, cash can be
contributed directly to the plan for the purchase of shares of common stock
with a quarterly limit of $5,000.

The dividend reinvestment plan authorized the sale of 150,000 shares of
the Corporation's authorized but previously unissued common shares to
shareholders who choose to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends
plus additional cash payments.  No shares were issued by the Corporation
pursuant to the plan in the first quarter of 2001.  In the first quarter of
2001 stock was purchased in the open market at the then current market price.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical facts and are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Forward-looking statements which are based
on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Corporation's control),
may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use
of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms or variations on those
terms, or the negative of these terms.  Actual results could differ
materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements, due to a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those related to the
economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the company
operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of
the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial
institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in
prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired
businesses, credit risk management, asset/liability management, the financial
and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with
sources of liquidity.

The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made
to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Corporation increased $3,249,000 during the first
quarter, to $625,359,000.  Federal funds sold and other interest-bearing
investments decreased by $8,000 during the first quarter of 2001.

The total securities portfolio increased $3,211,000 ending the first quarter
at $130,312,000.  At March 31, 2001 gross unrealized gains (losses) in the
held to maturity securities portfolio were approximately $247,000 and
$(76,000), respectively.

Net loans increased $395,000 during the first quarter to $446,285,000
at March 31, 2001. This modest increase was a result of weak loan demand in
our market.  Commercial loan growth was particularly strong, showing first
quarter increases of $5,769,000.  Consumer and Mortgage loans decreased by
$4,362,000 and $1,217,000, respectively, during the first quarter of 2001.
The consumer loan portfolio has decreased because the bank has decided to
allow some run-off of the indirect automobile credits while mortgages
decreased due to the seasonality factors.
<PAGE>14
The reserve for loan losses ended the quarter at $5,045,000 supported by a
provision for loan losses of $450,000, recoveries of $36,000 and loan charge-
offs of $691,000. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of ending loans
was 1.12% at March 31, 2001 and 1.16% at December 31, 2000.  Corporate
management believes that the reserve for loan losses as a percentage of
ending loans at March 31, 2001 remains at an appropriate level.  The ratio of
the reserve for loan losses to nonperforming assets increased slightly to
258.9% as of March 31, 2001 from 226.6% at December 31, 2000.  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.

The level of nonperforming assets decreased by $369,000 during the first
quarter of 2001.  This decrease is the result of a decrease in nonaccrual
loans of $495,000 as well as by an increase in other foreclosed assets owned
in the amount of $126,000. The decrease in nonaccrual loans is due to
decreases in nonaccrual principal balances of $326,000 which have been paid
off or brought current, loans charged-off in the amount of $283,000 and
liquidations of nonaccrual loans of $109,000 and increases in nonaccrual
principal balances of $403,000 which includes one large commercial loan
credit of $147,000 and 26 small consumer loan credits.  The decrease in
nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 2001 was due primarily to one
commercial loan customer and 21 personal loan customers.  The increase in
Other Foreclosed Assets resulted from the acquisition of one residential
property in the amount of $175,000.

The level of nonperforming assets remains at relatively low levels and
Corporate management believes nonperforming assets are well collateralized.

Potential problem loans are those loans identified on management's watch 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 March 31,
2001, potential problem loans totaled $4,365,000, an increase of $441,000
from the December 31, 2000 balance.  The increase in the watch list from
June 30, 2000 to September 30, 2000 was due to a weakened steel industry.
The Bank has a few commercial loan customers that subcontract to the steel
industry.  They were placed on the watch list for tracking purposes.

The Corporation's credit policies are reviewed and modified on an ongoing
basis in order to remain suitable for the management of credit risk within
the loan portfolio as conditions change.  At March 31, 2001 there are no
significant concentrations of credit in the loan portfolio.

The Corporation had outstanding loan and credit commitments to make loans
totaling $114,342,000 and $95,893,000 at March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in outstanding loan commitments results in part
from an increase in the unused portion of home equity lines of credits from
home equity loan sale programs during 2000 plus increase in loan demand
during the first quarter of 2001.  Mortgage and commercial construction loan
demand is expected to increase in the second quarter of 2001 as seasonal
weather conditions improve and the construction season begins.  Consumer loan
demand is expected to increase in the second quarter for home improvement and
automobile loans as weather conditions improve.

Total deposits increased $12,298,000 during the first quarter to
$508,389,000.  Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $79,849,000, at
March 31, 2001 for a decrease of $3,244,000, while interest-bearing deposits
increased to $428,540,000 for an increase of $15,542,000. Federal funds
<PAGE>16
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased
$2,774,000 during the first quarter of 2001.  Due to the volatility of
customer repurchase agreements, most funds generated by repurchase activity
enter the Corporation's earning assets as short-term investments.

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 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 liquid position in order
to take advantage of interest rate fluctuations.  As of March 31, 2001 short-
term security investments with maturities of one year or less totaled
$15,715,000 which represented 12.1% of total securities.  Adding cash and due
from banks of $22,130,000 and Federal Funds sold and other short-term
investments of $3,117,000, total liquid assets represented 6.6% of total
assets.  The Corporation's subsidiary bank has established short-term lines
of credit at correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland in the amounts of $13,000,000, $30,000,000 and
$26,000,000, respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

LNB Bancorp, Inc. continues to maintain a strong capital position.  Total
shareholders' equity increased to $58,238,000, at March 31, 2001.  The
increase resulted primarily from $2,006,000 of net income generated from the
first quarter of operations less a cash dividend payable to shareholders of
$1,053,000.  The decrease in interest rates experienced in the first quarter
of 2001 has caused an increase in the overall market value of available for
sale securities which resulted in an increase of shareholders' equity by
$760,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.  As of March 31, 2001, the LNB
Bancorp, Inc. held 100,000 shares of common stock as treasury stock.  LNB
Bancorp, Inc. purchased 2,004 of these shares in 1998 and 97,996 shares in
1997 for a total cost of $2,900,000.

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
<PAGE>17
of March 31, 2001 and 2000 follow together with those ratios required for the
Corporation to be considered well capitalized.

On an ongoing basis the Corporation analyzes acquisition opportunities in
markets which are adjacent to or within the Corporation's current
geographical market. 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 increased $809,000 when compared to the first
quarter of 2000. This was the result of the impact of increases in the loan
portfolio of $190,000 plus increases in rates. Interest and dividends on
securities was $1,847,000 for the first quarter of 2001 for a decrease of
$26,000 over the same period in 2000. The first quarter decrease in interest
and dividends on securities results from a net increase in the securities
portfolio of $3,211,000 which was more than offset by decreases in the
average yield of the securities portfolio.  Interest and dividends on
securities represented 15.7% of total interest income at March 31, 2001
compared to 17.1% at March 31, 2000. Interest on Federal funds sold and other
interest-bearing instruments was $-0- at March 31, 2001 compared to $39,000
at March 31, 2000. The decrease resulted from lower average balances invested
in this form of financial instrument.

Total interest expense increased by $519,000 when compared to the first
quarter of 2000. The interest expense increase was fueled by an increase in
interest expense from certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 in the
amount of $166,000, plus increases in deposit account interest of $441,000
offset in part by decreases in securities sold under repurchase agreements
and federal funds purchased of $41,000.

Total other income increased by $110,000 when compared to the first quarter
of 2000.  This increase resulted from increases in Investment and Trust
Services Division Income of $56,000, increases in service charges of $37,000
and increases in other service charges, exchanges and fees of $12,000.

The Corporation continuously monitors noninterest expenses for greater
profitability.  The entire staff is geared to improving productivity at all
levels.  Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was
<PAGE>18
$5,399,000, 3.8% more than the first quarter of 2000.  This increase was
due primarily to increases in salary expenses, supplies and postage and
credit card and merchant expenses.

The effective tax rate was 33.5% and 33.7% during the first quarter of 2001
and 2000, respectively.  Net income was $2,006,000 and $1,980,000 for the
quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Net income per basic
and diluted share was $.48 and $.48 for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, 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.

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, 2000, 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, 2000.

With the Federal Reserve Board's recent announcements to decrease the
rates by 150 basis points during the first quarter of 2001, the Corporation
anticipates a decrease in the net interest margin during 2001.  The amount
of the decrease will be determined, in part, by any rate reductions resulting
from actions of the Federal Open Market Committee.  Also, Corporate
management does not anticipate any significant changes in the Corporation's
market risk of interest rate risk portfolio.

Message to Shareholders

It's a pleasure, once again, to report on the progress of LNB Bancorp, Inc.,
and its subsidiary companies after the first quarter of 2001.  As of March
31, 2001, LNB Bancorp, Inc. achieved growth in earnings, dividends, assets,
loans, deposits and shareholders' equity.

We are pleased to announce that earnings increased 1.3% for the first quarter
of 2001, compared to the same quarter one year ago, increasing to $2,006,000,
up from last year's $1,980,000.  Earnings for 2001 were higher than a year
ago because of higher net interest income and noninterest income, offset in
part by higher loan loss provision and operating expenses.  Increases in net
interest income was the net result of commercial loan growth which was
partially offset by a higher cost of funds.  Basic and diluted earnings per
share for the first quarter of 2001 and 2000 remained constant at $.48.

Cash dividends declared per share for the first quarter of 2001 increased 4%
compared to the same quarter last year.  The first quarter cash dividends
declared per share in 2001 increased by $.01 to $.25 per share, up from $.24
per share in 2000.

Consolidated assets increased 4.2% to $625.4 million at March 31, 2001, up
$25.1 million from March 31, 2000.  Net loans grew by $23.2 million from one
year ago to $446.3 million at March 31, 2001, for a 5.5% increase. Commercial
loan growth accounted for almost all of total loan growth during the 12
months ended March 31, 2001.

Total deposits increased 1.3% to $508.4 million at March 31, 2001, up $6.4
million from one year ago. Increases in deposits resulted from increases in
Market Access accounts offset inpart by decreases in demand and certificates
of deposit accounts.  Lorain National Bank operates 22 banking centers and 28
ATMs in nine local communities.

Total shareholders' equity increased by $6.3 million during the twelve months
ended March 31, 2001 for a 12.1% increase.  Total shareholders' equity was
$58.2 million or $13.83 per share at March 31, 2001, compared to $51.9
million or $12.31 per share at March 31, 2000.  The percentage of
shareholders' equity to assets reached 9.3% at March 31, 2001.

We would like to welcome and congratulate our newly elected member to the
Board of Directors, Lee C. Howley, president of Howley and Company.  Mr.
Howley brings extensive personal experience from the telecommunication
industry and health-care-related real estate and service industries, as well
as Board of Director experience in the real estate holding industry.

We are pleased to report on the recent opening of our 22nd banking center in
Elyria, the Elyria United Methodist Village, located at 807 West Avenue,
<PAGE>27
Elyria, Ohio.  We look forward to serving the residents and employees at our
newest banking center location.

We appreciate and thank you for your continued support and look forward to
addressing you after the completion of our second quarter of operations.

brokerage and mutual funds."

LNB Bancorp, Inc. has announced the availability of alternative investment
and insurance products and services through its subsidiaries to be marketed
under the brand LNB Investment Center.

Lorain National Bank, through an affiliation with Raymond James Financial
Services, Inc. Member NASD/SIPC, of St. Petersburg, Florida, now makes
available a wide range of investment products and services including stock
brokerage and mutual funds.

Our Charleston Insurance Agency Inc., subsidiary will provide customers with
insurance-related products including life, accident and health, and non-
variable annuities.

"Customers no longer need to consider any other source to meet all their
financial services needs," said Gary C. Smith, president and chief executive
officer of LNB Bancorp, Inc. and Lorain National Bank.  "Regardless of our
customers' financial profiles, LNB Investment Center will market our
subsidiaries' products and services that span the entire financial services
spectrum."

Thomas P. Ryan, president and chief executive officer of Charleston Insurance
Agency, Inc., announced the hiring of financial advisor Robert A. Carino to
administer the sale of investment and insurance products.  Carino is a 17-
year veteran of the financial services industry and most recently served as
an independent representative of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. in

As an LNB Investment Center financial advisor, Carino will provide customers
with a wide variety of Raymond James investment products while all non-
variable insurance products are made available through Charleston Insurance.
For now, Carino will work out of our downtown Lorain offices, however; he
will be providing service to customers of all 22 bank locations.  These
product offerings were made available as a result of the enactment of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act.

Carino was most recently in charge of the Investment Sales Department of
