INDUSTRIAL BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


Summary of  Significant Accounting Policies

      These interim financial statements are presented in accordance with the
SEC's rules for quarterly financial information without audit and reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Industrial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and
its wholly owned subsidiary, The Industrial Savings and Loan Association (the
"Association"), at September 30, 1997 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring
in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed financial statements do
not purport to contain all the necessary disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the
circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
included in the 1996 Annual Report of Industrial Bancorp, Inc. The results of
the nine months presented are not necessarily representative of the results of
operations and cash flows which may be expected for the entire year.


Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per common share for 1997 have been computed based on 4,918,115
and 4,988,083 weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Earnings per
common share for 1996 have been computed based on 5,138,568 and 5,127,345
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan shares that have been released, or committed to be released, to
participants are considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes.


Commitments and Contingencies

      As of September 30, 1997, commitments to originate loans and loans in
process to be funded in six months or less totaled $18.5 million.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations


Financial Condition
-------------------

      Total assets increased $27.5 million to $354.1 million at September 30,
1997 from $326.6 million at December 31, 1996. The increase in total assets is
primarily attributable to $25.3 million growth in net loans receivable during
the first nine months of 1997. Cash and cash equivalents also increased to $8.7
million at September 30, 1997 from $7.4 million at December 31, 1996.
Liquidity, which amounted to 5.68% at September 30, 1997, exceeded the
regulatory requirement.

      Asset growth was funded by deposit growth of $10.5 million and $19.0
million in additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
("FHLB"). Total deposits were $269.6 million at September 30, 1997, compared to
$259.1 million at December 31, 1996. The Company intends to continue to fund
loan demand in excess of deposit growth with advances from the FHLB. At
September 30, 1997, the undisbursed portion of construction loans totaled $9.9
million.

      Despite net income of $3.7 million for the first nine months of 1997,
total shareholders' equity decreased slightly to $60.8 million at September 30,
1997 from $62.1 million at December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of treasury
share purchases. The Company has repurchased 331,700 shares of its common stock
through the first nine months of 1997, at a cost of $4.4 million. These
repurchases include 123,975 shares acquired as part of the Company's second 5%
buyback program initiated in August 1997.

      The Association is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision to
maintain certain minimum levels of tangible, core, and risk-based capital. The
following table presents the Association's regulatory capital position at
September 30, 1997:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations


Results of Operations
---------------------

      Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Accounting for two significant
events during the third quarter of 1996 caused the Company to record a net loss
of $1.5 million and net income of $1.0 million for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. These events consist of a
special assessment levied by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
upon institutions with deposits insured through the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") amounted to a pre-tax expense of $1.5 million and an
expense related to the 1996 return of capital related to unallocated ESOP
shares amounted to $1.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

      Net interest income was $106,000 more and $77,000 less for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, than for the comparable
periods in 1996. Interest earned on short-term deposits preceding the $19.4
million return of capital in May of 1996 and interest paid on an increasing
amount of FHLB advances are the primary reasons for the decline in net interest
income during the first nine months of 1997.

      Total interest income was $752,000 and $1.5 million more for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, than for the comparable
periods in 1996. These increases were primarily the result of an increased
average balance in net loans receivable, which resulted in increases of
$728,000 and $1.9 million in interest and fees on loans for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Interest on deposits with other
financial institutions amounted to $578,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to $319,000 for the comparable period in 1997, as a result of
the investment in short-term funds preceding the $19.4 million special return
of capital distribution in May of 1996.

      Total interest expense was $646,000 and $1.5 million more for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, than for the same
periods in 1996. Somewhat higher rates of interest paid on increased average
interest-bearing deposit balances have driven the interest paid on deposits
higher by $319,000 and $887,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, respectively, than for the comparable periods in 1996. The cost of
FHLB advances, of which the Association had none during the first nine months
of 1996, amounted to $327,000 and $650,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, respectively.

INDUSTRIAL BANCORP, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations


      The provision for loan losses was $45,000 and $141,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, based upon management's
assessment of reasonably foreseeable losses inherent in the loan portfolio for
each period.

      Noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
was $120,000 and $343,000, respectively, compared to $104,000 and $299,000
recorded for the same periods in 1996, due primarily to higher service fee
income on an increased average balance of deposits.

      Noninterest expense was $1.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $4.8 million
and $8.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively. Noninterest expense in 1996 included a combined $3.0 million of
expense for the FDIC special assessment and ESOP expense related to the 1996
return of capital. Excluding, and due to, the assessment for the SAIF
recapitalization in 1996, the level of federal deposit insurance premiums has
been reduced to $41,000 for the third quarter of 1997 from $140,000 for the
comparable quarter in 1996.

      Salaries and employee benefits expense for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $814,000 and $2.3 million, respectively,
compared to $2.3 million and $3.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, which included $1.5 million of ESOP expense
related to the 1996 return of capital.
