                        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, 2000 and 1999, 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America.  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, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in those assets
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental Schedule H, line 4i-
Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2000 and
Schedule H, line 4j - Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended
December 31, 2000 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

<PAGE>10
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, 2000 and 1999

 (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)   Participant Contributions

             The Plan does not permit participant contributions.

       (d)   Vesting

             Each participant vests in the bank contribution after 5 years
             of service.  Forfeitures of nonvested employer contributions
<PAGE>14
             are made available first to reinstate previously forfeited
             account balances of former participants who are reemployed by
             the Plan sponsor.  The remaining forfeitures, if any, shall be
             allocated among the participants' accounts in the proportion
             each participant's annual compensation bears to the total annual
             compensation of all participants for that plan year.

 (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.

                        Notes to Financial Statements

                         December 31, 2000 and 1999

       (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
             accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
             America 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.


<PAGE>16
       (e)   New Accounting Pronouncements

             In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
             SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
             Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133").  SFAS No. 133 requires
             That an entity recognize all derivatives and measures those
             instruments at fair value.

                       EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                       Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 2000 and 1999

     SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,2000.
     Pursuant to SFAS No. 137, the Plan is required to adopt SFAS No. 133
     effective January 1, 2001.  Management has determined that the impact of
     SFAS No. 133 on the Plan financial statements would be immaterial.

(3)  Investments

     The following table presents the fair values of investments at
     December 31, 2000 and 1999:
                                    2000                     1999

      LNB Bancorp, Inc.      152,919 $ 3,335,957     139,030 $ 3,058,664
                           ========= ===========   ========= ===========

     During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Plan's
     investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the
     year) appreciated in value by $49,512 and depreciated in value by
     $788,620,respectively

(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
<PAGE>18
     the Trustee, but may be subject to tax thereon at such time as they
     receive distributions under the Plan.
