COMPETITION

Vigorous competition exists in the market area of Logan County
BancShares,Inc. In addition to the three other banks located within the
market area, the location is in a relatively close proximity to two
population centers of the State. There is also competition for deposits and
related financial services from non-bank institutions such as savings and
loans, insurance companies and brokerage firms, all of which are active in
the area. Loans are provided by those institutions as well in addition to the
finance companies. Since the Bank Holding Company Act, passed by the West
Virginia Legislature in 1982, local banks have been joining Bank holding
companies around the State. Of the five banks located in Logan County, only
one is a unit bank. The other four are members of various multi-bank holding
companies. Logan County BancShares, Inc. has been able to compete effectively
within the county by having one institution located in the county seat (Logan
Bank & Trust Company), and Branches located in the high-growth area of the
county. Also, to stimulate growth, Logan County BancShares, Inc. is the only
bank holding company owned and controlled from within the county.

The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 (the Act) and is registered as such with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Reserve Board). As a
bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file with the Federal
Reserve Board an annual report and such other information as may be required.
The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the corporation. In
addition, the Federal Reserve Board has the authority (which it has not
exercised) to regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt.

The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval
of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring substantially all the assets of
or direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of any bank which is not already majority-owned. The Act also
prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from itself
engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the
voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the
principal exceptions to these prohibitions is for engaging or Acquiring
shares of a company engaged in activities found by the Federal Reserve Board
by order or regulation to be so closely related to banking or managing banks
as to be a proper incident thereto. The Act prohibits the acquisition by a
bank holding company of more than 5% of the outstanding voting shares of a
bank located outside the State in which the operations of its banking
subsidiaries are principally conducted, unless such an acquisition is
specifically authorized by statute of the State in which the bank acquired is
located. The Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board also prohibit a
bank holding company and its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or provision of any
property or services.

Logan Bank & Trust Company is an insured bank organized under the
Banking Law of the State of West Virginia and is a member of the Federal
Reserve System. Accordingly, their operations are subject to Federal and
State laws applicable to commercial banks with trust powers and to regulation
by the Commissioner of Banking and the West Virginia State Banking
Commissioner, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Among other restrictions, the West Virginia Banking laws state
that banks organized thereunder may pay dividends only out of undivided
profits. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the approval of the Federal Reserve
Board is required for dividends declared by a state member bank which in any
year exceeds the net profits of such bank for that year, as defined, combined
with retained net profits for the two preceeding years.

5



The earnings and growth of the banking industry and of Logan Bank & Trust
Company is affected by the credit policies of monetary authorities including
the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve
System is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to control
recessionary and inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of monetary
policy used by the Federal Reserve to implement these objectives are open
market operations in the U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount
rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against
member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to
influence overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and may also
affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. The monetary
policies of the Federal Reserve authorities have had a significant effect on
the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to
continue to have such an effect in the future.

In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money
markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities,
including the Federal Reserve system, no prediction can be made as to
possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or
their effect on the business and earnings of the Corporation, and Logan Bank
& Trust Company.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The corporation and subsidiaries have no foreign operations.

ITEM 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis


Logan County BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Management's Discussion and Analysis reviews and discusses the
financial condition of Logan County BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary. Included
are (a) the results of operations for 1998 and (b) discussion of liquidity
including an asset and liability sensitivity analysis, and (c) an analysis of
earnings, dividends, and capital. The discussion and analysis discloses any
material changes and any infrequent events and known trends as they relate to
liquidity, capital resources and results of operations. The information
presented reflects the activities of the holding company and the subsidiary
bank, Logan Bank & Trust Company.

To assist in understanding and evaluating major changes in Logan County
BancShares, Inc.'s financial position and results of operations, this discussion
emphasizes a comparison of the years 1998 to 1997, 1997 to 1996, and 1996 to
1995, and also presents five year information in instances where appropriate.
This discussion should be read concurrently with the audited financial
statements including notes to those statements.

The following definitions apply to terms used in this report:

AVERAGE BALANCES: All balances have been computed on the basis of
monthly averages.

NET INTEREST INCOME: Interest and related fee income on earning
assets, reduced by total interest paid on interest bearing deposits and
borrowed funds. This net amount, when divided by average earning asset
balances becomes net interest margin.

NET NON-INTEREST EXPENSE: Non-interest expenses reduced by the
amount of non-interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is provided through short-term investments, payments on
outstanding loans, and the ability to attract new deposits or borrow
funds. At December 31, 1998, and 1997, the funds available within one
year from investments and loans were $27,105,000. and $26,641,000.

Logan County BancShares, Inc.'s deposit mix has increased by $16,313,000.
in 1998, $12,874,000. in 1997, and $11,515,000. in 1996. these increases in the
deposit mix points out a marketing strategy that has attracted new customers to
the Bank. Time deposits represented the major growth in the deposit mix. They
increased by $8,056,000., $10,968,000. and $8,619,000. respectively in 1998,
1997 and 1996. In 1998 all catagories grew while the shift in 1997 and 1996 was
from Savings accounts into Time deposits due to the Banks' promotional
activities; offering competitive interest rates for short-term and long-term
CD's. Demand deposits contributed to the growth in the deposit mix by increasing
$42744,891 in 1998, $2,999,000. in 1997, and $785,000. in 1996. Savings deposits
showed slight decreases in 1998 after remaining stable over the past five years.
These changes are predominantly due to the fluctuating interest rates by the
Federal Reserve and movement of savings to time deposits by the consumer in
order to obtain a better interest rate. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 31.29%
and 28.86% of the total deposits were in demand deposits, while 23.96% and
27.09% were in savings and 44.74% and 44.02% were in time deposits,
respectively. The stable growth in deposits gives the Bank a firm deposit base
to meet the lending demand and market fluctuations.


10





During 1998, 1997 and 1996, banks have been faced with a highly competitive
atmosphere in the sense of maintaining a continuity of growth. Logan County
BancShares, Inc. has maintained a community bank approach which enhances its
performance over those years. The merger of Bank of Chapmanville into Logan Bank
& Trust Company enabled the Company to operate more effeciently and thereby
capture a sizeable portion of the market for deposits in the fastest growing
area of Logan County, West Virginia. Also, with the addition of the Man Branch
of Logan Bank & Trust and Harts Bank of Logan Bank & Trust in 1996, the company
has expanded its current market. See Table I. for a five-year summary of
financial data.

Capital planning is essentially the management process that allocates
capital resources in a manner that generates the highest income, while
maintaining sufficient liquidity, at the lowest degree of risk attainable.
Moreover, it is the philosophy of Logan County BancShares, Inc. to nurture that
growth by planning for steady, long-range profits rather than the high-risk,
high-exposure techniques. As noted in Table I. the ratio of net income to
average assets was 1.43%, 1.62%, and 1.52%, for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Through the periods presented, management has
allocated new funds into the higher-yielding loans and holding the investment
securities nearly constant. Although the improvement in the local economy had
been at a slow pace through 1996, 1997 and 1998 overall loan demand and deposit
growth show a marked increase due to marketing the community bank service
approach.

Table I. represents a summary of financial data for the previous
five years.

LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT RISKS

The allowance for loan losses is established by charging expenses at an
amount which will maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient
to provide for potential loan losses. Loan losses are charged directly to the
allowance when they occur and recoveries are credited to the allowance. The
amount of the provision is based on past loan loss experience, management's
evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions, and such
other factors as in management's best judgement deserve current recognition in
estimating loan losses. Tables V. and VI. represent a summary of loan loss
experience for the years 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY OF LOANS AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets consist of (a) loans not accruing interest any longer
due to doubts about future collectability, (b) loans more than ninety days past
due for the last principal or interest payment, and (c) other real estate owned
by the Bank taken originally as loan collateral. Table VII. provides a five-year
summary of the components involved in non-performing assets as of year end.

Loans are determined to be nonaccruing when it has been determined that the
ability of the Bank to collect the unpaid balance of such loans is highly
unlikely due to the financial position of the borrower and general economic
conditions. The determination of such classification is made by bank management
on a case-by-case basis for problem loans. Generally, a review of each loan
ninety days or more past due is made monthly and such loans deemed uncollectable
become classified as nonaccrual.

Loans are determined to be ninety days delinquent when such a period of
time has elapsed since the last payment of principal or interest was made. At
such a time, consideration as to whether to classify the loan as nonaccruing is
made. However, until such classification is made, interest will continue to be
accrued.

Other real estate consists of real property that the Bank originally took
as collateral for loans but has since acquired title to when the borrowers
defaulted and the Bank bid on the property in question at public auction.

SECURITIES

The securities portfolio of Logan County BancShares, Inc. is the second
largest area of resource allocation. Investments provide liquidity and serve as
a hedge offsetting the increased sensitivity of deposits caused by deregulation.
In the past, the Bank had been developing a large portfolio of tax-exempt
securities with extended maturities. This portfolio was used to offset the tax
effects of a large spread between asset yield and funds cost. However, due to
the combined effects of inflation, deregulation, and the costs of funds, that
portfolio has bee depleted. The Company has been shifting the concentration of
the portfolio from tax exempt securities into more profitable, higher-yielding
assets

Securities include those classified as held to maturity and available for
sale. The change in securities in 1997 was under 10% of the portfolio and
represented minor shifting between categories. In 1998, all categories of
investment securities increased by $7,841,000. representing a 39.30% increase
from 1997. The components of this increase were U.S. agencies increasing by
$7,359,000. and U.S. governments increasing by $482,000. During 1996, investment
securities increased by $4,949,000. or 30.04%, consisting of decreases of U.S.
Government Securities at $2,431,000., offset by increase in U.S. Agencies of
$7,189,000.

Logan County BancShares, Inc. adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" on January 1, 1994. Accordingly, all debt securities, that Logan
County BancShares does not have the ability or management does not have the
positive intent to hold to maturity, are classified as "securities available for
sale" and are carried at market value.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses continued to increase in 1998 by $333,000. to
$3,629,000. This growth was due to the overall growth of the company
and its expansion of customer services. The largest components of the
increase was salaries and benefits of $157,000. and data porcessing of
$133,000. While both are related to the subsidiary bank's growth and
increased service, the data processing cost also reflect preliminary Y2K
cost incurred to evaluate the systems used by the company. These cost
amount to $42,000. in 1998.

Other expenses increased by $328,000. to $3,965,000. in 1997. This
increase was generally due to activity in all areas of the subsidiary
bank. Salaries and benefits increased $168,000. or 12.17% due to normal
salary adjustments while other operating expenses increased slightly by
$19,386. or 4.29% due to overall efforts to control operating costs.

In 1998 the increase in taxes were due to increased property taxes.
Depreciation expense increased throughout the period. This increase is
attributable to the opening of two branch facilities at Man and Harts, West
Virginia and updating bank equipment.

Repairs and maintenance, directors' fees, equipment rental, and Bank
stationery expenses vary from year to year based on the Company's demand. These
types of expenses are not directly related to the income function and,
therefore, increase or decrease sporadically.

FDIC and Fidelity insurance decreased $86,000. in 1998 and 1997
decreasing $86,000. in 1996 due to reevaluation of liability by the FDIC
and lower rates attributable to such reevaluation.

Logan County BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations


INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
----------------------------------

Asset and liability management is responsible for the planning,
implementation, and control process for determining asset mix and maturity
features relative to liability maturities in such a way that net interest margin
will be maximized. A major tool for such a process is gap management of the
Bank's interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

The negative gap position as presented in the following table for
maturities of one year or less is offset by the substantial positive gap
position for maturities greater than one year. The earnings of Logan County
BancShares, Inc. are sufficient to withstand the short term negative gap
position. Should a large fluctuation occur, increasing the cost of funds,
management would consider increasing service charges and non-interest fees which
management determines the market would bear in order to negate increased rate
costs. An additional response, at the option of management, would be liquidation
of certain long-term investments, and conversion of those funds into short-term
securities.

Bank management recognized the concentration of large certificates of
deposit. The Bank's policy of asset-liability management matches both rates and
maturities so the Bank will not have a liquidity problem or allow income to be
affected by a change in rates.
All demand and savings deposits are considered highly volatile, although
experience has shown these accounts to be stable regardless of economic cycles.
Interest on savings and other transactional accounts have generally remained
constant over periods of interest rate changes. Therefore, deposits and savings
are classified as "over one year" to represent a more realistic rate sensitive
gap.

Logan County BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations


Year 2000 Assessment

Management has initiated a Company-wide program to assess its data
processing, information systems and customer service programs to ensure the
Company's operating capabilities in the year 2000. Currently, the Company's
subsidiary Bank, LB & T, uses EDS, a regional provider of financial
institution data processing, as it's primary provider of computer services
and data processing. EDS has certified it's hardware and software are Year
2000, and beyond, complaint.

As required by Regulatory guidelines, the company has contracted with
EDS to perform Y2K testing. This testing will include Data Processing, ATM's,
Debit Cards, Financial and Communications Systems. The estimated cost for
this testing is approximately $55,000. The Company has also contracted to
have their computer hardware evaluated for Year 2000 compliance and estimates
additional computer hardware and software costs to be approximately
$105,000. These cost will be capitalized and amortized over five years. It is
the opinion of management that the cost of converting these systems and the
annual amortization, thereof, will not materially impact the results of
operation or its financial position.

We anticipate having all testing completed by June, 1999 and upgrading
completed by August, 1999. There are many factors involved in upgrading these
systems, such as: conversion of data, employee training and implementation.
There can be no assurances this process will not have a material effect on
the company's operations.

While management believes its planning efforts are adequate to address
its Year 2000 concerns, there is no guarantee the systems of other companies
on which the Company's systems and operations rely will function properly and
not have an adverse effect on the

We are proud to present the 1998 annual report of Logan County

were able to build on the strong foundation of growth that has been our
trademark in the 90's. Total assets grew by $17,428,326, or 14.30%, to a
record of $139,278,365. This growth was largely invested in the region by
increasing loans by $10,146,160, showing a continued committment to our
service area. Earnings of $1,891,113, or $3.96 per share, in 1998 not only
strengthens our capital position but also provided to our shareholders a
return of dividends of $846,059. The return on average assets of $1.43 and
return on equity of 13.99% are high performance goals for any organization.

Our foundation of being a positive force in meeting the financial needs
of our customer, community and region has always been our philosophy.
Building on this cornerstone, our subsidiary, Logan Bank and Trust Company,
is preparing to face the challenge of the new millennium by being innovative,

the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on

principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Logan County
BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, and 1997, and the

Logan County BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

A. Basis of Consolidation:

The Consolidated Financial Statements of Logan County BancShares, Inc.
and its subsidiaries include the accounts of Logan County BancShares, Inc.
a bank holding company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Logan Bank &
Trust Company. As further discussed in Note 13, the Company's subsidiaries
were merged into Logan Bank & Trust Company on May 28, 1996. The merger was
accounted for under the pooling of Interest Method of accounting and no
restatement was necessary. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentations.

B. Nature of Operations:

The Banks operate under State bank charters, and provide full
banking services, including trust services. As state banks, the Banks
are subject to regulation by the West Virginia State Banking
Commission and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company
is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank.

C. Estimates in the Financial Statements:

The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents:

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash on hand and amounts due from banks.

E. Investment Securities:

Effective with the issuance of SFASB 115, (Accounting For Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), the Banks' Investment
securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as
follows:

Securities to be Held to Maturity: Bonds, notes and debentures
for which the banks have the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income,
using the Constant Yield Method, over the period to maturity.

Securities Available for Sale: Securities available for sale
consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not
classified as securities held to maturity. These securities are
carried at their fair value. Unrealized gains and (losses), net of
tax, are reported as a net amount in a separate component of
Shareholders' Equity until realized. Gains and losses on sale of
securities available for sale are determined using the
Specific-Indentification Method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

F. Loans:

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by
unearned income and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on
loans is recognized on the accrual basis except for those loans in a
nonaccrual income status. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is
discontinued when management believes, after consideration of economic
and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers'
financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
When interest accrual is discontinued, interest income is subsequently
recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.

The reserve for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses charged to expense. The reserve is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing
loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality,
review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that
may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Loans are charged against
the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collection of the principal is unlikely.

The allowance for loan losses on impaired loans is determined
using the present value of estimated future cash flows of the loan,
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of
the underlying collateral. A loan is considered to be impaired when it
is probable that all principal and interest amounts will not be
collected according to the loan contract. The entire change in present
value of expected cash flows is reported as provision for loan losses
in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as
a reduction in the amount of provision for loan losses that otherwise
would be reported.

Certain loan origination fees and direct origination costs are
capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the
related loan.

G. Bank Premises and Equipment:


Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives
of the assets as follows:




Methods Range of Lives
------- --------------

Banking House S/L, ACRS 10 - 40 years

Furniture, Fixtures and
Equipment S/L, DDB,ACRS 3 - 20 years

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

H. Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure:

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower
of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value. The
value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the
real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan
losses, if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged to
operating expenses.

I. Income Taxes:

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return. The Subsidiary's are charged or credited an amount
equal to the income tax that would have been applicable on a separate
return basis.

The Company uses the liability method for computing deferred
income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are
based on the change during the year in the deferred tax liability or
asset established for the expected future tax consequences of
differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. The differences relate principally to premises and
equipment, unrealized gains and losses on investment securities
available for sale, and the allowance for loan losses.

J. Per Share Information:

Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and
the number of shares of common stock which would be assumed
outstanding under the treasury-stock method.

K. Impact of New Accounting Standards:

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The Statement
establishes standards for reporting the components of comprehensive
income and requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
included in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income
includes net income as well as certain items that are reposted
directly within a separate component of stock- holders' equity and
bypass net income. The provisions of this Statement are effective
beginning with 1998 interim reporting. These disclosure requirements
will have no impact on financial position or results of operations.

L. Marketing Expense:

The Company charges all marketing expenses to operations when
incurred. No amounts have been established for any future benefits
relative to these expenditures.

3. Restriction on Cash and Due from Banks and Contingent Liabilities:

The Bank is required to maintain average balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The average required reserve balances were $655,000. and
375,000. for 1997 and 1996 respectively. The Bank has various claims and
suits pending at December 31, 1997 arising in the ordinary course of its
business. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that such
litigation will not materially affect the Bank's financial position or
earnings.

Loans on which accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
amounted to $546,442. and $686,517. at December 31, 1997 and 1996
respectively. Had the above loans not been placed on a non-accrual status,
income for the Company would have increased approximately $34,488., and
$56,537. for the two years.


The Company's recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately
$843,471. at December 31, 1997 and $838,000. at December 31, 1996. Of that
amount in 1996, $548,000. represents loans for which an allowance for loan
losses, amounting to $360,490., has been established under SFAS 114. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $840,736.
for 1997 and $887,000. for the year ended, December 31, 1996. Interest
income recognized on impaired loans was approximately $39,566. for the year

7. Federal Income Taxes:

The provisions for Federal income taxes for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were less than the respective amounts that would
result from applying the statutory Federal and state income tax rates, due
primarily to the Banks' investment income and expense accruals.

A reconciliation of the difference between the U. S. statutory income
tax rate and the effective tax rates with resulting dollar amounts are
shown in the following table:

8. Employee Benefit Plans:

During 1998 the Company terminated the qualified defined benefit
pension plan. The Company's subsidiary adopted a qualified profit sharing
and 401K employee benefit plan covering substantially all employees. The
contributions to the plans are at the discretion of the plans' advisory
boards and amounted to $85,264. in 1998.

The Bank Holding Company had a qualified defined benefit pension plan
which is available to employees meeting certain age and service
requirements. The total pension expense for the years 1996 and 1995 was
$71,101. and $35,482. respectively. The Company's policy was to fund
pension costs at the maximum amount that can be deducted for Federal Income
tax purposes.

The following is a summary of the plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31,
1996 and 1995.




1996
-------

Actuarial present value of
accumulated benefit obligation $276,949
--------
--------

Projected benefit obligation $703,635
Plan assets at fair value 625,279
--------
Projected Benefit Obligation
Less Than Plan Assets ($78,356)

Unrecognized net asset at transition,
net of amortization (72,419)
Unrecognized net loss from past
experience different from that assumed 104,110
--------
Accrued Pension Cost Included
In Other Liabilities ($46,665)

Service cost - benefits earned during
the period $41,461
Interest cost on projected benefit
obligation 49,072
Actual return on plan assets (49,495)
Net amortization and deferral (3,108)
--------
Net Periodic Pension Cost $37,930
--------
--------



At year end 1996 and 1995, an 8% weighted average discount rate and a
5% rate of increase in future compensation levels was used to determine the
actual present value of the projected benefit obligation. The projected
long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8% in 1996 and 1995.

9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments
with Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments, unused
credit loan limits, and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve,
to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the financial statements.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At December 31,
1996, the Bank has $5,207,000. of loan commitments outstanding with
$1,051,000. expiring in excess of one year. The exposure to credit loss in
the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for these commitments is represented by the contractual amount. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments
with Concentration of Credit Risk (Continued):

The total amounts of off-balance-sheet financial instruments with
credit risk are as follows:




December 31,
1998 1997
---- ----


Loan commitments $6,678,000 $6,678,000
Standby letters of credit $271,000 $271,000



The Bank subsidiaries grant retail, commercial and commercial real
estate loans to customers located throughout West Virginia and Eastern
Kentucky.

The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank
upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial
properties. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of the debtors' ability to honor their contracts is
dependent upon the economic conditions in each loan's respective location.

10. Regulatory Matters:

The various regulatory agencies having supervisory authority over
financial institutions have adopted risk-based capital guidelines which
define the adequacy of the capital levels of regulated institutions. These
risk based capital guidelines require minimun levels of capital based upon
the risk rating of assets and certain off-balance-sheet items. Assets and
off-balance-sheet items are assigned regulatory risk-weights ranging from
0% to 100% depending on their level of credit risk. The guidelines classify
capital in two tiers, Tier I and Tier II, the sum of which is total
capital. Tier I capital is essentially common equity, less intangible
assets. Tier II capital is essentially qualifying long-term debt and a
portion of the reserve for loan losses.

The Company and Bank actual capital amounts and ratios are presented
below in thousands of dollars:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

The Company's principal source of funds for dividend payments is
dividends received from the subsidiary Banks. Banking regulations limit the
amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory
agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid
in any calendar year is limited to the current year's net profits, as
defined, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years,
subject to the capital requirements as defined above. During 1999, the Bank
could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $3,184,769,
plus any 1999 net profits returned to the date of the dividend declaration.

11. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For those short-term instruments, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities - For investment securities, fair values are based
on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans - Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities.

Deposit Liabilities - The fair value of demand deposits, savings
accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity
certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
maturities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase - For these short-term
instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - Rates currently available to the
Company for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities are
used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Note Payable - The carrying value of variable rate borrowed funds is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit - Commitments
to extent credit and standby letters of credit represent agreements to
lend to a customer at the market rate when the loan is extended, thus
the commitments and letters of credit are not considered to have a fair
value.

The fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31,
1998 are as follows:




Carrying Fair
Amount Value

Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,727,104 $ 5,757,104
Federal funds sold 7,520,000 7,520,000

In November 1997, the Company completed a sale of 10,388 shares of
common stock at a price of $35.00 per share. Total proceeds to the Company
were $363,580. Earnings per share has been computed using a weighted
average number of shares outstanding.

13. Merger and Acquisition:

On May 28, 1996 the Company and its subsidiaries, Logan Bank &
Trust Company and Bank of Chapmanville entered into a merger agreement
whereby the bank subsidiaries would merge into Logan Bank & Trust Company.
The merger was completed after proper approval by the directors,
shareholders and regulatory agencies. Since surviving bank was still a
wholly owned subsidiary of the company, the transaction was accounted for
under the pooling of interest method and no restatement of prior periods
was necessary.

In February, Logan Bank & Trust Company opened a branch located in
Man, West Virginia. This full service branch services the southern part of
Logan County and its neighboring counties. In November, Logan Bank & Trust
Company acquired a branch facility located in Harts, West Virginia from
another financial institution. Under the purchase agreement, the bank
acquired all the real and personal property and assumed the deposits
related to the branch. The income and expenses of operating these branch
facilities are included in the consolidated statement of income from their
opening dates.
