PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1--FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The management of Belmont Bancorp. ("Belmont" or the "Company") is
responsible for the accurate and objective preparation of the consolidated
financial statements and the estimates and judgments upon which certain
financial statements are based. Management is also responsible for preparing the
other financial information included in this filing. In our opinion, the
financial statements on the following pages have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and other financial information in this quarterly report is consistent with the
financial statements.

     Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate
internal control system which encompasses policies, procedures and controls
directly related to, and designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the
integrity and reliability of the financial reporting process and the financial
statements. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that
there are inherent limitations in all systems of internal control, and that the
cost of such systems should not exceed the derived benefits. The systems and
controls and compliance therewith are reviewed by a comprehensive program of
internal audits and by our independent auditors. Their activities are
coordinated to obtain maximum audit coverage with a minimum of duplicate effort
and cost. Management believes the system of internal control effectively meets
its objectives of reliable financial reporting.

     The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the quality of the
Company's financial reporting primarily through its Audit Committee, which is
comprised solely of independent directors. The Audit Committee meets regularly
with management, personnel responsible for the contract internal audit function,
and the independent auditors to ensure that each is meeting its responsibilities
and to discuss matters concerning internal controls, accounting and financial
reporting. The above parties have full and free access to the Audit Committee.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Belmont
Bancorp and its subsidiaries, Belmont National Bank (the "Bank") and Belmont
Financial Network.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. A
summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report and Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates particularly subject to change would include the allowance
for loan losses, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of financial
instruments, and loss contingencies.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141. "Business
Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations within its scope
to be accounted for using the purchase method, rather than the
pooling-of-interests method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this
statement will only impact the Company's financial statements if it enters into
a business combination.

     Also in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", which addresses the accounting for such assets arising from
prior and future business combinations. Goodwill arising from business
combinations is no longer amortized, but rather is assessed regularly for
impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in
the period identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit
intangible assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful
lives. The adoption of this Statement does not currently impact the Company's
financial statements, as it has no unidentified intangible assets related to
prior business combinations.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002, and establishes an accounting standard requiring the recording of
the fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets in the period in which they are incurred. The Company is in the process
of determining the future impact that the adoption of FAS 143 may have on its
earnings and financial position.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The adoption of this statement has not materially affected the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses the timing of
recognition of a liability for exit and disposal costs at the time a liability
is incurred, rather than at a plan commitment date, as previously required by
GAAP. Exit or disposal costs will be measured at fair value, and the recorded
liability will be subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The
adoption of the statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company.

     While management monitors the revenue streams of the various Company
products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations
are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis.
Accordingly, all of the Company's service operations are considered by
management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

     4.  Shareholders' Equity and Regulatory Matters

     As described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company and the Bank
continue to operate under an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland, the Company's primary regulator, and a Consent Order with the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank's primary regulator. Both the
Company and the Bank have complied with or are taking steps designed to comply
with all of the requirements imposed by their regulators. One of the provisions
of the Consent Order requires that the Bank achieve and maintain a Tier 1
capital leverage ratio of at least 6.0%. Since the completion of two successive
stock offerings concluding in June 2000, the Bank has exceeded this minimum
requirement. The bank's unaudited Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2002 was
8.7%.

     5.  Stock Options

     On May 21, 2001, the Company's shareholders approved the Belmont Bancorp.
2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan authorized the granting of up to
1,000,000 shares of common stock as incentive and nonqualified stock options.
Since the Plan's adoption, the Board of Directors has granted options to
purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $2.00 to $4.00
to certain employees and officers of the Company. Generally, one fourth of the
options awarded become exercisable on each of the four anniversaries of the date
of grant. However, some of the options granted in 2001 vested immediately on the
date of the grant with the remaining amount vesting over the next three to four
years. The option period expires 10 years from the date of grant.

     The following is a summary of the activity in the Plan for the six months
ended June 30, 2002:

                               =================================================
</TABLE>

     The Company accounts for the stock options under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, which requires expense recognition only when the exercise
price is less than the market value of the underlying stock at the measurement
date. Compensation expense of $17,000 and $71,000 was recognized for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to reflect the impact of
granting certain options below their market price.

     SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures for companies that do not adopt
its fair value accounting method for stock-based compensation. Instead, pro
forma information for net income and basic and diluted earnings per common share
will be provided in the notes to the financial statements as if the fair value
method had been used. During the first six months of 2002 and 2001, pro forma
expense was not considered significant, but the Company anticipates that pro
forma expense will increase and will be disclosed in future periods. For the
year ended 2001, the Company reported a net loss of $415,000. A pro forma loss
of $471,000 would have been recorded had the fair value of the options been
expensed in the consolidated financial statements.

     6.  Litigation

     The Company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in legal
actions. Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that no accrual
for loss is necessary.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     Since the date of the filing of Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, there have been no new material
legal proceedings involving the Company or any material developments to the
proceedings described in such 10-K except as described below.

     As described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2002, a number of cases related to the shareholder
derivative litigation were settled at the end of 2001, with the one remaining
claim involving the customers of Schwartz Homes, Inc. having been settled in
March of 2002. The Company received certain payments in the first quarter of
2002 as described in the Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2002. In April 2002, the Company received payment of approximately
$1.7 million representing its share of the remaining settlement proceeds in the
shareholder derivative litigation. In addition, in April 2002, the Company
received a payment of $675,000 from Progressive Casualty Insurance Company on
the fidelity bond issued by Progressive. As a result of this global settlement,
except for the item noted below, the litigation involving loans to Schwartz
Homes, Inc. and customers of Schwartz Homes, Inc., the shareholder derivative
action, the actions with Progressive, the action with Mr. Ciroli and the action
in Tuscarawas County, have all been concluded.

     In May 2002, James John Fleagane filed a Petition for Appeal in the West
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Mr. Fleagane seeks to have the Supreme Court
of Appeals review the trial court's ruling that he was not entitled to payment
for his time in connection with the prosecution of the shareholder derivative
action described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2002. The Company filed a Response to Petition for
Appeal on June 7, 2002, and intends to vigorously oppose the request for payment
by Mr. Fleagane. At the present time, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
has not decided whether it will accept the case for review.

     In June 2002, the Company settled the litigation commenced in 1999 in the
Court of Common Pleas for Belmont County, Ohio, by George Michael Riley, further
described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001, for nominal consideration. As a result, that case
will be dismissed with prejudice.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     In addition to historic information, this report may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other
than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the Company's
expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In
some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words
such as "may," "will," "expects," "should," "believes," "plans," "anticipates,"
"estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," or other words of similar
meaning. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in, or
implied by, the forward looking statements. Readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinion only
as of the date on which they were made. Except as required by law, the Company
disclaims any obligation to review or update these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances as they occur. Readers should also carefully
review any risk factors described in Company reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

     Various statements made in this Report concerning the manner in which the
Company intends to conduct its future operations, and potential trends that may
impact future results of operations, are forward-looking statements. The Company
may be unable to realize its plans and objectives due to various important
factors, including, but not limited to, the factors described below. These and
other factors are more fully discussed elsewhere in this Report.

     .   The Company has entered into consent agreements with the Federal
         Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the Office of the Comptroller of the
         Currency, described in Note 4 to the quarterly consolidated financial
         statements and below under the caption "Capital Resources", that
         require it to take various actions and meet various requirements. If
         the Company fails to satisfy all of these requirements, the Comptroller
         of the Currency and Federal Reserve Bank could potentially assume
         complete or significantly greater control of the Company's operations.

     .   The Company has recognized substantial loan losses in past years,
         principally related to loans made under the direction of prior
         management. While the Company has created what it believes are
         appropriate loan loss reserves, the Company could incur significant
         additional loan losses in future periods, particularly if general
         economic conditions or conditions in particular industries in which its
         loans are concentrated deteriorate.

     .   The Company is subject to increasingly vigorous and intense competition
         from other banking institutions and from various financial institutions
         and other nonbank or non-regulated companies or firms that engage in
         similar activities. Many of these institutions have significantly
         greater resources than the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

     For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Belmont Bancorp. earned $3,816,000,
or $0.34 per common share, compared to earnings of $340,000, or $0.03 per common
share, for the first six months of 2001. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002,
the Company earned $1,732,000, or $0.16 per common share, compared to net income
of $175,000, or $0.02 per common share for the second quarter of 2001. Included
in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are proceeds from settlements
of legal matters including a derivative action and related litigation. Exclusive
of settlement proceeds and related expenses, the Company would have reported net
earnings of $234,000 for the second quarter and $395,000 for the six months
ended June 30.

     Average assets were down slightly to $283 million for the second quarter of
2002, compared to $284 million for the second quarter of 2001. Average assets
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $284 million compared to $283
million for the comparable period last year. Total assets at June 30, 2002 were
$281 million compared to $289 million at December 31, 2001.

     Throughout the second quarter of 2002, yields on U.S. Treasury securities
across the maturity spectrum remained low relative to historical levels. This
impacts the Company through loan refinancing activity, reinvestment
opportunities in loans and investments, and financing costs on its deposit base.
The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.65% for the second quarter of
2002, up from 3.43% for first quarter of 2002. The net interest margin for the
second quarter of 2001 was 3.72%. The net interest rate spread (the difference
between the average yields on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities)
was 3.22% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 3.20% for the comparable
period of 2001. The taxable equivalent yield on earning assets declined to 6.06%
from 7.69%, a decrease of 163 basis points, during the second quarter of 2002
compared to the second quarter of 2001. This decline was offset by a decrease of
166 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.83% from
4.49%. The declines in yields on earning assets and the cost of funds reflect
the precipitous drop in interest rates throughout 2001. Most notably the
targeted federal funds rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee fell from
6.50% at the beginning of 2001 to 1.75% by the end of 2001, and the prime
lending rate declined from 9.50% to 4.75% during 2001.

     Net interest income increased by $125,000 for the first six months of 2002
compared to the same period last year as average earning assets increased $3.9
million to $264 million for the first six months of 2002. The yield on earning
assets decreased from 7.70% to 6.07%, and the cost of interest bearing
liabilities decreased from 4.60% to 2.97%. The taxable equivalent net interest
margin declined to 3.54% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 3.63% for
the same period in 2001.

     Included in noninterest income for the first six months of 2002 was $6.3
million in proceeds from legal settlements. During December 2001, the Company
reached a comprehensive legal settlement wherein the Company resolved five
lawsuits, including a costly derivative action. Each case, concluded as a result
of the comprehensive settlement, was either directly or indirectly related to
losses incurred by the Company during 1998 and 1999 for commercial loans to
Schwartz Homes, Inc., formerly the Bank's largest commercial borrower, and an
interim lending program offered by the Bank to customers of Schwartz Homes, Inc.
Schwartz Homes, Inc. filed bankruptcy during 1999 and was subsequently
liquidated.

     As a result of the settlement during the first quarter of 2002, the Company
received a pre-tax payment from its former independent audit firm in the amount
of $2.2 million and a pre-tax payment of $1.7 million settling claims against
certain current and former directors of the Company. The settlement concluded
during April 2002 when the Bank received the last payment of the settlement from
Progressive Insurance, its former carrier for directors and officers liability
insurance and fidelity bond insurance. The gross amount of Progressive's payment
to the Company was $2.4 million. All payments received and recorded by the
Company for the comprehensive settlement, except for $675,000 received from
Progressive for its fidelity bond policy, were net of plaintiff's attorneys fees
and costs; those fees and costs were approximately $3.6 million.

     Trust fees were down in both the quarterly and year-to-date periods
presented. The overall decline in the valuation of the stock market impacts
trust fees since most fees are assessed based on the market value of assets held
in the trust accounts. Also, a trust with assets of $9 million closed its
account with the Trust department.

     Service charges on deposits increased 5.7% from $421,000 to $445,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2002 principally due to the reduction in the
earnings credit allowance rate provided for certain business accounts. The
earnings allowance provides a reduction to customers' service charges based on
deposit balances maintained; a lower earnings credit rate results in higher
service charge income for the Bank unless customers increase their deposit
balances to compensate for the lower rate.

     Earnings on bank-owned life insurance policies declined $73,000, or 67.6%,
during the comparative reporting periods due to the redemption of approximately
$3.4 million in officer life insurance policies during December 2001.

     Gains on sales of loans and loans held for sale increased from $26,000 for
the first six months of 2001 to $105,000 for same period of 2002. Capitalized
mortgage servicing rights of $66,000 were included in gains on sales of loans
held for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2002. No mortgage servicing

                                       16

rights were capitalized during the first six months of 2001. The total
outstanding balance of mortgage loans sold without recourse and with servicing
rights retained increased to $60.0 million at June 30, 2002 from $44.0 million
at June 30, 2001. Gain on sales of loans also included $13,000 for gains
realized on the sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio during the second
quarter of 2002.

     Securities losses incurred during the first six months of 2002 were related
to the sale of approximately $11.0 million in tax-exempt bonds. The Bank
continues to reduce the tax-exempt bond portfolio to reduce the interest rate
risk associated with long-term fixed rate investments and to increase taxable
income thereby enabling the Company to utilize its tax loss carryforwards and
tax credits.

     The employee count at the end of June 2002 was 131 full time equivalent
employees ("FTEs"), down from 141 FTEs at the end of June 2001. The average
number of FTEs for 2002 through June was 132 versus 136 for the same period
during 2001. The increase in salaries and wages for the six months ended June
30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 was principally the
result of incentive compensation paid during 2002 and merit increases.
Compensation costs associated with the grant of stock options were $17,000 and
$71,000 for the six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2002 include
approximately $55,000 in costs associated with expenses related to former
executives of the Company in connection with the comprehensive legal settlement
previously described. These costs include payroll taxes associated with the
payment of various compensation plans and a contribution to the Company's 401(k)
plan for the benefit of one of the former executives. However, these one time
costs were offset by the elimination of liabilities previously recorded for
discontinued deferred compensation programs for directors and the unused portion
of moving expenses previously accrued for a former executive.

     Legal fees totaled $848,000 for the first six months of 2002 and included
approximately $517,000 in costs related to the comprehensive legal settlement
previously described. The Company expects substantially lower legal costs during
the remaining months of 2002.

     Legal settlements expense for the first six months of 2002 totaled $594,000
and includes $179,000 in settlement charges related to the comprehensive legal

settlement previously described. The remaining settlement charges relate to
various claims against the Company described under Item 1 - "Legal Proceedings"
below and in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

SECURITIES

     The estimated fair value of securities available for sale at June 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001 are detailed in Note 2 of the quarterly financial
statements.

     At June 30, 2002, the Company did not own any investments of a single
issuer, the value of which exceeded 10% of total shareholders' equity, or
$3,115,000, except for stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. The
book value and estimated fair value of this stock was $3,375,000 at June 30,
2002.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The Company provides as an expense an amount which reflects incurred loan
losses. This provision is based on the growth of the loan portfolio and on
historical loss experience. The expense is called the provision for loan losses
in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Actual losses on loans are charged
against the allowance built up on the Consolidated Balance Sheets through the
provision for loan losses. The amount of loans actually removed as assets from
the Consolidated Balance Sheets is referred to as charge-offs and, after netting
out recoveries of previously charged-off assets, becomes net charge-offs.

     Details of the activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses are included in
Note 3 of the quarterly financial statements. No loan loss provision was
recorded during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2002 or 2001
because the Company had sufficient reserves based on its analysis of the
allowance for loan losses. In addition, no events or changes in circumstances
were identified indicating a need to recognize a loss through current
provisions. The following table depicts various loan and loan-related
statistics.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

     Non-performing assets consist of (1) non-accrual loans, leases and debt
securities for which the ultimate collectibility of the full amount of interest
is uncertain, (2) loans and leases past due ninety days or more as to principal
or interest (unless management determines that, based on specific circumstances,
interest should continue to accrue on such loans) and (3) other real estate
owned. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when payment of the full amount of
principal and interest is not expected, or when principal or interest has been
in default for a period of ninety days or more unless the loan is well secured
and in the process of collection. A summary of non-performing assets follows:

     Details of impaired loans and related information are included in Note 3 of
the quarterly financial statements. The Company has made considerable
improvements to the level of nonperforming assets and impaired loans since June
2001. Impaired loans declined $3.3 million from $7.4 million at June 30, 2001 to
$4.1 million at June 30, 2002. A single credit relationship that refinanced most
of its debt elsewhere accounted for $2.1 million of this reduction.

     In addition to the schedule of non-performing assets, management prepares a
watch list consisting of loans, which they have determined require closer
monitoring to further protect the Company against loss. The balance of loans and
available credit classified by management as substandard due to delinquency, a
change in financial position, or other factors and not included as
non-performing assets totaled $15,177,000 at June 30, 2002, $15,684,000 at
December 31, 2001, and $14,820,000 at June 30, 2001; no loans were classified as
doubtful.

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS

     The Company uses the Standard Industry Code (SIC) system to determine
concentrations of credit risk by industry. Management monitors concentrations of
credit as measured by an industry's total available and outstanding credit
balance expressed as a percent of Tier 1 capital. Loan concentrations exceeding
25% of the Bank's Tier 1 capital are detailed in the following tables.

DEFERRED FEDERAL TAX ASSETS

     Deferred federal tax assets declined from approximately $8.0 million at
December 31, 2001 to $5.7 million at June 30, 2002. The deferred federal tax
assets include significant balances related to tax loss carryforwards and tax
credits. The gross legal settlements received during the first six months of
2002 generated taxable income of approximately $6.3 million that utilized a
portion of the tax loss carryforwards resulting in a reduction of the deferred
federal tax asset balance. Because the Company still has sizeable tax loss
carryforwards, the Company continues to reduce sources of tax-exempt income
principally through the sale of tax-exempt bonds.

OTHER LIABILITIES

     Other liabilities declined from $3.2 million at December 31, 2001 to $1.5
million at June 30, 2002. Other liabilities include amounts for various accrued
expenses, accounts payable, funds owed for securities traded but not yet
settled, and obligations related to compensation plans. The decline in other
liabilities for the comparative periods presented was due to lower legal expense
accruals, the termination of certain compensation plans as a result of the
comprehensive legal settlements previously discussed, and a reduction in
securities traded but not settled.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The table below depicts the capital ratios for the Bank and for the Company
on a consolidated basis as of June 30, 2002. In addition, the table depicts the
regulatory requirements for classification as "adequately capitalized" under the
regulatory guidelines for Prompt Corrective Action. Tier 1 capital consists
principally of shareholders' equity less goodwill and deferred tax assets, while
Tier 2 capital consists of certain debt instruments and a portion of the
allowance for loan losses. Total capital consists of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.

     As described in Note 4 of the quarterly financial statements, the Bank
entered into a Consent Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 6.0%. As a result of
its recapitalization efforts which began in 1999 and concluded in June 2000, the
Bank was formally notified that it had achieved an adequately capitalized
designation under Prompt Corrective Action regulations as of June 30, 2000 in a
letter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency dated July 27, 2000.
Under the Consent Order, the Bank will not be treated as "well capitalized" even
though it has achieved a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.7%, well in excess of the
requirement of 6%, unless and until the Consent Order is terminated or modified
to eliminate the capital requirement under the Consent Order. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes has
changed the Bank's capital category.

(1)  These are also the standards to be "adequately capitalized" under Prompt
Corrective Action Provisions.
(2) The Consent Order requires a 6% Tier 1 leverage ratio. At June 30, 2002, the
amount of the Bank's Tier 1 capital requirement to meet compliance with the
Consent Order was $16,566,000; the Bank's actual Tier 1 capital was $23,909,000
at June 30, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Effective liquidity management involves ensuring that the cash flow
requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating needs of the
Company, are met. Funds are available through the operation of the Bank's branch
banking network that gathers demand and retail time deposits. The Bank also
acquires funds through repurchase agreements and overnight federal funds that
provide additional sources of liquidity. Total deposits decreased $11.1 million,
or 4.7%, from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Average quarterly deposits
declined $3.1 million during the first quarter of 2002 and an additional $3.4
million during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the fourth quarter of
2001. With the decline in interest rates during 2001, the banking industry has
experienced a large amount of loan refinancing activity. The Bank has not
aggressively priced offered rates for time deposits relative to its competitors
due to available yields on investment alternatives and low loan demand. The
Bank's federal funds sold at June 30, 2002 totaled $11.8 million, down from
$17.6 million at December 31, 2001.

                                       20

     Cash flows from the securities portfolio are also a source of liquidity.
Securities available for sale increased from $126 million at December 31, 2001
to $130 million at June 30, 2002. Of this increase, approximately $2.2 million
related to increases in fair value. Purchases during 2002 were primarily
directed toward investments with relatively short average lives due to the lower
interest rate environment.

     The Bank has an available line of credit with a correspondent bank totaling
$4,100,000 that may be used as an alternative funding source. The Bank also has
an unused credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank for $20 million. All
borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank are subject to eligible collateral
requirements; at June 30, 2002, the Bank had sufficient eligible collateral to
utilize the credit line.

     The main source of liquidity for the parent company is dividends from the
Bank. Presently, the Bank cannot pay dividends without prior regulatory approval
under the Consent Order. At June 30, 2002, the parent had cash and marketable
securities with an estimated fair value of $1.5 million. The parent company does
not have any debt to third parties. Management believes sufficient liquidity is
currently available to meet estimated short-term and long-term funding needs for
the Bank and the parent company. Liquidity may be impacted by the ability of the
Company to generate future earnings.

ITEM 3-QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The information required by Item 3 has been disclosed in Item 7A of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. There
has been no material change in the disclosure regarding market risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal proceedings

     Since the date of the filing of Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, there have been no new material
legal proceedings involving the Company or any material developments to the
proceedings described in such 10-K except as described below.

     As described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2002, a number of cases related to the shareholder
derivative litigation were settled at the end of 2001, with the one remaining
claim involving the customers of Schwartz Homes, Inc. having been settled in
March of 2002. The Company received certain payments in the first quarter of
2002 as described in the Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2002. In April 2002, the Company received payment of approximately
$1.7 million representing its share of the remaining settlement proceeds in the
shareholder derivative litigation. In addition, in April 2002, the Company
received a payment of $675,000 from Progressive Casualty Insurance Company on
the fidelity bond issued by Progressive. As a result of this global settlement,
except for the item noted below, the litigation involving loans to Schwartz
Homes, Inc. and customers of Schwartz Homes, Inc., the shareholder derivative
action, the actions with Progressive, the action with Mr. Ciroli and the action
in Tuscarawas County, have all been concluded.

     In May 2002, James John Fleagane filed a Petition for Appeal in the West
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Mr. Fleagane seeks to have the Supreme Court
of Appeals review the trial court's ruling that he was not entitled to payment
for his time in connection with the prosecution of the shareholder derivative
action described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended March 31, 2002. The Company filed a Response to Petition for
Appeal on June 7, 2002, and intends to vigorously oppose the request for payment
by Mr. Fleagane. At the present time, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
has not decided whether it will accept the case for review.

     In June 2002, the Company settled the litigation commenced in 1999 in the
Court of Common Pleas for Belmont County, Ohio, by George Michael Riley, further
described in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001, for nominal consideration. As a result, that case
will be dismissed with prejudice.

Item 2. Changes in securities and use of proceeds

        (c) Pursuant to the Belmont Bancorp. 2001 Stock Option Plan and the
exercise of options granted thereunder, on May 28, 2002, the Company issued
seven thousand shares of its common stock to Michael R. Baylor for a price of
Twenty Five Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($25,200). The shares of common stock
were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, due to the non-public nature of the
transaction and the sophistication of the purchaser, who is a recent former
Director of the Company and Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer
of the Bank.

Item 3. Defaults upon senior securities

None
