#### FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS STATEMENT

The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil
litigation for forward-looking statements accompanied by meaningful cautionary
statements. Statements contained in this report and the information incorporated
by reference into this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will
be the same as those that we anticipated. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans,
strategies and expectations, are generally identified by use of the words
may, will, continue, believe,
expect, intend, anticipate, estimate,
project, or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the
actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which
could have a material adverse effect on our operations include:

These
risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on statements. Further information concerning
us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our
financial results, is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Lenox
Bancorp, Inc. is filing this report on Form 10-QSB/A to amend and restate the Financial
Statements included in Part I, Item 1, notes thereto and Management Discussion and
Analysis of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2002 as a result of the Companys

loans to record the mortgage servicing rights at the lower of cost or market. Other than
the Financial Statements, notes thereto and Management Discussion and Analysis, no other
sections of the Form 10-QSB require amendment or restatement at this time.

# NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Lenox Bancorp, Inc. (Lenox or the
Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary Lenox Savings Bank (the
Bank). In the opinion of Lenox, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operation and cash flow for the
interim period. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

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 disclosure 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.

Results of operations and cash flows
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year to end December 31, 2002. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.    
          EARNINGS PER SHARE

The net loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 was $91,000, or ($0.26) per share on an average of 345,048
shares, compared to a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $239,000 or
($0.84) per share.

# Comparison of Financial
Condition at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001

ASSETS.    
          Total assets decreased by 5.7% to $59.4 million at September 30, 2002. This
          decrease was due to a 19.3% decrease in loans receivable from $50.7 million at
          December 31, 2001 to $40.9 million at September 30, 2002, primarily due to the
          early payoff of loans. Total investment securities increased to $10.5 million at
          September 30, 2002 from $4.3 million at December 31, 2001, as a result of
          investing the proceeds from the loan payoffs.

LIABILITIES.    
          Total liabilities decreased by 6.3% to $53.8 million at September 30, 2002. This
          decrease was primarily due to an 8.0% decrease in deposits to $30.6 million at
          September 30, 2002. Total deposits declined $2.7 million to $30.6 million at
          September 30, 2002, due to lower pricing in an effort to reduce the
          Companys cost of funds.

STOCKHOLDERS
EQUITY.      Stockholders equity remained relatively unchanged at $5.4
million for the period ending September 30, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES.      The Companys primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB
advances, principal and interest payments on loans and loan sales in the secondary market.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds,
deposit flow and mortgage prepayments are strongly influenced by changes in general
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The primary investment activity of
the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities. The most significant source of funds for the nine months
ending September 30, 2002, was the repayment of $9.8 million in mortgage loans.

The Bank is required to maintain a
minimum level of liquidity consistent with the safe and sound operation of the
institution. The Banks most liquid assets are cash, federal funds sold and
marketable securities. The levels of the Banks liquid assets are dependent on the
Banks operation, financing, lending and investing activities during any given
period. At September 30, 2002, assets qualifying for short-term liquidity, including cash
and short-term investment, totaled approximately $14.8 million.

At September 30, 2002, the
Banks capital exceeded all the capital requirements of the FDIC. The Banks
Tier 1 leverage and total capital to risk-weighted capital ratios were 9.28% and 19.75%,
respectively.

# Comparison of Results of
Operations For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

GENERAL.    
          The Company reported net loss of $91,000 for the nine months ending September
          30, 2002, which represents a $148,000 increase compared to net loss reported for
          the nine months ending September 30, 2001.

Comprehensive income for the nine
months ending September 30, 2002 was a loss of $7,000 compared to a comprehensive loss of
$170,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2001. The difference between net income
and comprehensive income consists solely of the effect of unrealized gain and losses, net
of taxes, on available for sale securities.

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND
INCOME. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 decreased 20.4%. Interest income on loans decreased by 20.3% to $2.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This was primarily due to a lower average
balance of loans. Other investments and investment bearing deposits decreased by 21.0% to
$376,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, mainly due to lower interest rate
environment, partially offset by increase in average investment balances.

INTEREST
EXPENSE. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$1.7 million compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a
decrease of 29.2%. Interest expense on deposits decreased 41.1% due to lower interest
rates paid on deposits and lower deposits. Interest expense on borrowed money decreased by
$201,000 to $985,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to lower average
FHLB advances outstanding.

NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.Net interest income before provision for loan
losses decreased by $39,000 to $1,226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

PROVISION FOR LOAN
LOSSES. The provision for loan losses decreased from $238,000 for the nine
months ending September 30, 2001 to $94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

The Company uses different formulas
to determine the appropriate level of provision necessary for the allowance for loan
losses to cover the losses in the loan portfolio. Because future events affecting the loan
portfolio cannot be predicted with complete accuracy, there can be no assurance that
managements estimates are correct and that the existing allowance for loan losses is
adequate. However, management believes that based on the information available to them on
September 30, 2002, the Companys allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover
losses inherent in the Companys current loan portfolio.

OTHER INCOME.
Other income decreased by $122,000 due primarily to the decrease in gains on sale of loans
and decrease in mortgage servicing rights income in the period ending September 30, 2002.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 were $1.6 million compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Compensation and benefits decreased by $315,000 to $705,000 for nine
months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease was due primarily to the accrual of
$300,000 in June 2001, for a potential payout for an employee contract.

INCOME TAXES.
Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $52,000 due to an
increase in pretax earnings. Net loss before tax provision was $137,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to net loss of $337,000 for the same period
ending September 30, 2001.

RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS.On July 29, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141 and 142. SFAS
141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under a single method, the
purchase method. The use of the pooling of interest method is no longer permitted. SFAS
141 requires that the purchase method be used for combinations initiated after September
30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead
be reviewed for impairment. These statements have no material effect on the Company at
this time since it has not been involved in a business combination subject to SFAS 141 and
does not have goodwill or other intangible assets subject to SFAS 142.
