                        Independent Auditors' Report

The Plan Administrator
The Lorain National Bank
Sponsor of The Lorain National Bank
  Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
distribution to participants of The Lorain National Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of changes in assets available for distribution to
participants for the years then ended.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for distribution
to participants of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
changes in those assets for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999 and
reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1999 are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                           EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                           Notes to Financial Statements

                            December 31, 1999 and 1998

 (1)   Description of the Plan

       The following description of The Lorain National Bank Employee
       Stock Ownership Plan (Plan) provides only general information.
       Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
       description of the Plan's provisions.

       (a)   General

             The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by The
             Lorain National Bank (Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of LNB
             Bancorp, Inc., covering substantially all employees of the
             Bank.  An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan
             after the attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of
             service, as defined in the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the
             provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
             1974 (ERISA).

             Under the terms of the Plan, the Investment and Trust
             Services Division of the Bank acts as trustee for the Plan
             and, as such, manages a trust fund which includes all of the
             Plan's assets.  The trustee has been granted discretionary
             authority concerning purchases and sales of investments in
             the trust fund made from employer contributions.

       (b)   Bank Contributions

             The amount of the contribution is determined by the Bank's
             Board of Directors in its absolute discretion.  The Bank is
             not required to make a contribution in any specific year.
             Contributions are allocated to participants' accounts in the
             proportion each participant's annual compensation bears to
             the total annual compensation of all participants for that
             plan year.

       (c)   Voluntary Contributions

             The Plan does not permit voluntary contributions.

       (d)   Vesting

             Each participant's vested interest in the Bank's contribution
             is determined based on the number of years of service, as
             defined by the Plan.  Forfeitures of nonvested employer
             contributions are made available first to reinstate
             previously forfeited account balances of former participants.
             The remaining forfeitures, if any, are used to reduce the
             contribution of the Bank for the plan year in which such
             forfeitures occur.

                          THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK
                        EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                        Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1999 and 1998

       (e)   Distributions Upon Termination of Employment

             A participant whose employment terminates by reason of
             retirement on their early retirement date or on their normal
             retirement date, receives their vested benefits.  The
             participant may elect distribution of their vested benefits
             either in a single distribution or in annual, semiannual,
             quarterly, or monthly installments.

             A participant whose employment is terminated for any reason
             other than those designated above may receive a single
             distribution of their vested benefits.

       (f)   Plan Termination

             Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the
             Bank has the right to terminate the Plan subject to the
             provisions set forth in ERISA.  In the event of Plan
             termination, the assets of the Plan will be allocated as
             prescribed by ERISA and its related regulations.

       (g)   Plan Administrator

             The Plan Administrator is the President and Chief Executive
             Officer of the Bank.

 (2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       (a)   Basis of Presentation

             The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been
             prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

       (b)   Investments

             The fair value of investments and changes therein are
             determined through the use of current quoted market values.
             Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis.
             Interest income is recorded on the accrual method of
             accounting.

       (c)   Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

             The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
             generally accepted accounting principles requires Management
             to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
             amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and
             disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual
             results could differ from those estimates.

     (d)   Payment of Benefits

           Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

     The following table presents the fair values of investments at
     December 31, 1999 and 1998:

                           ========= ===========   ========= ===========

     During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan's
     investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the
     year)depreciated in value by $788,620 and $661,respectively, as
     follows:
                                                   1999        1998

             Common Stock - LNB Bancorp, Inc.   $ 788,620         661
                                                 ========    ========
(4)  Administrative Expenses

     The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Bank.

(5)  Federal Income Taxes

     The Internal Revenue Service issued its latest determination letter
     on May 6, 1996 which stated that the Plan and its underlying Trust,
     as designed, qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the
     determination letter.  In the opinion of the Plan Administrator, the
     Plan and its underlying Trust have operated within the terms of the
     Plan and remain qualified under the applicable provisions of the
     Internal Revenue Code.

     As long as the Plan continues to be qualified under present federal
     income tax laws and regulations, participants will not be taxed on
     Bank contributions or on investment earning on such contributions at
     the time such contributions and investment earnings are received by
     the Trustee, but may be subject to tax thereon at such time as they
     receive distributions under the Plan.
