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. /s/ KPMG LLP April 14, 2000 (LOGO) Member Firm of KPMG International 10 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Statements of Assets Available for Distribution to Participants December 31, 1999 and 1998 ASSETS 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Assets available for distribution to participants: Short-term cash investments $ 242,984 85,223 Investment, at fair value (notes 3 and 6) Common stock - LNB Bancorp, Inc. 3,058,664 3,666,161 Receivables: Employer contributions 100,000 100,000 Dividends and interest 35,775 33,208 ---------- ---------- Total receivables 135,775 133,208 ---------- ---------- Assets available for distribution to participants $3,437,423 3,884,592 ========== ========== Assets available for distribution to participants: Assets payable to terminated participants $ 117,336 165,800 Assets available for continuing participants 3,320,087 3,718,792 ---------- ---------- $3,437,423 3,884,592 ========== ========== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 11 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Statements of Changes in Assets Available for Distribution to Participants Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 1999 1998 ---------- --------- Additions: Investment income: Dividends $ 124,112 112,790 Interest 4,156 6,572 Net depreciation in fair value of investments (note 3) (788,620) (661) ---------- --------- Total investment income (loss) (660,352) 118,701 ---------- --------- Employer contribution 400,000 200,000 Other 33 606 Total additions (deletions) (260,319) 319,307 ---------- --------- Deductions - distributions to participants (186,850) (381,823) ---------- --------- Decrease in assets available for distribution to participants (447,169) (62,516) Assets available for distribution to participants Beginning of year 3,884,592 3,947,108 ---------- --------- End of year $3,437,423 3,884,592 ========== ========= See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 12 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK 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. 4 13 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. 14 (d) Payment of Benefits Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid. 5 15 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1999 and 1998 (3) Investments The following table presents the fair values of investments at December 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 --------------------- -------------------- Number Number of Shares Fair of Shares Fair or Units Value or Units Value --------- ----------- --------- ----------- Common stock - LNB Bancorp, Inc. 139,030 $ 3,058,664 132,114 $ 3,666,161 ========= =========== ========= =========== 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. 6 16 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1999 and 1998 (6) Party-in-Interest Transactions The following is a summary of transactions in common stock of LNB Bancorp Inc., 100% owner of the Bank, during the year ended December 31, 1999: Number Fair of Shares Value --------- ----------- Balance at December 31, 1998 132,114 $ 3,666,161 Purchases 7,906 206,482 Distributions (990) (25,359) Net depreciation - (788,620) --------- ----------- Balance at December 31, 1999 139,030 $ 3,058,664 ========= =========== 7 17 Schedule 1 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN EIN: 34-0869480 Plan Number: 002 Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes December 31, 1999 Column A Column B Column C Column D - -------- ------------------ -------------------------- ----------- Description of investment Identity of issue, including maturity date, borrower, lessor rate of interest, collateral, or similar party par or maturity value Cost - -------- ------------------ -------------------------- ----------- * LNB Bancorp, Inc. 139,030 shares of common $ 2,538,093 stock * Lorain National Bank Mutual funds Treasury Trust Fund 242,984 ----------- $ 2,781,077 =========== Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes Continued Column A Column B Column C Column E - -------- ------------------ -------------------------- ----------- Description of investment Identity of issue, including maturity date, borrower, lessor rate of interest, collateral, Current or similar party par or maturity value value - -------- ------------------ -------------------------- ----------- * LNB Bancorp, Inc. 139,033 shares of common $ 3,058,664 stock * Lorain National Bank Mutual funds Treasury Trust Fund 242,984 ----------- $ 3,301,648 =========== *Party in interest See accompanying independent auditors' report. 8 18 Schedule 2 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN EIN: 34-0869480 Plan Number: 002 Schedule of Reportable Transactions Year ended December 31, 1999 Series transactions, when aggregated, involving an amount in excess of 5% of the current value of Plan assets: Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E - -------------------- --------------------- ---------- ---------- --------- Identity of Description Purchase Selling Lease party involved of assets price price rental - -------------------- --------------------- ---------- ---------- --------- * LNB Bancorp, Inc.

(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 on the January 1 or July 1 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 Plan stipulates that employer and employee contributions will be invested in units of the LNB Bancorp, Inc. stock fund which primarily consists of common stock of LNB Bancorp, Inc. and short-term cash investments. (b) Bank Contributions The Bank is required to contribute to the Plan for each month, out of its current or accumulated earnings only, an amount equal to 50% of the participants' contributions for each month. (c) Participants' Contributions A participant can make, through payroll deductions, contributions of one (1) to six (6) percent (in whole integers) of their compensation. Changes in the amount of compensation paid to a participant will automatically effect a change in the amount of the contribution. (d) Vesting of Contributions Each participant has a fully vested interest in the Bank's and their contributions as of the date payments are made. (e) Withdrawals While Employed At any time, subject to certain restrictions, a participant may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their units. 4 32 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1999 and 1998 (f) 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 all units credited to their account. The participant may elect distribution of the units 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 all units credited to the participant. (g) 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. (h) 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) Investment The fair value of the investment 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. 33 (d) Payment of Benefits Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid. 5 34 THE LORAIN NATIONAL BANK STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1999 and 1998 (3) Investment The following table presents the fair value of the investment at December 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 -------------------- -------------------- Number Fair Number Fair of shares Value of shares Value --------- ---------- --------- ---------- Common stock - 126,368 $2,780,075 117,293 $3,254,868 LNB Bancorp, Inc. ========= ========== ========= ========== During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan's investment (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value by $(716,203) and $18,916, respectively. (4) Federal Income Taxes The Internal Revenue Service issued its latest determination letter on June 24, 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 earnings 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. (5) Administrative Expenses The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Bank.
