F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2000

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and footnotes thereto included in the
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements.  The Corporation cautions that any forward looking statements
contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this
report or made by management of the Corporation, involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change based upon various factors.  Actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or implied.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

     The Corporation regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and
holds discussions with, various potential acquisition candidates and as a
general rule the Corporation publicly announces such acquisitions only
after a definitive agreement has been reached.

PER SHARE AMOUNTS

     Per share amounts have been adjusted for common stock dividends,
including the 5 percent stock dividend declared on April 17, 2000.

     Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income,
adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared, by the sum of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

     Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding,
assuming conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the
beginning of the year or date of issuance and the exercise of stock options
and warrants.  Such adjustments to net income and the weighted average
number of shares of common stock are made only when such adjustments dilute
earnings per share.

earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SUMMARY

     Net income for the first quarter of 2000 increased to $10.1 million
from $8.8 million for the first quarter of 1999.  Basic earnings per share
were $.46 and $.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, while diluted earnings per share were $.45 and $.39 for those
same periods.  Core operating earnings consist of net income adjusted for
non-recurring items.  Non-recurring costs incurred during the first quarter
of 1999 included $819,000 in merger related costs, net of tax.  Excluding
these merger costs, net income was $9.7 million for the first quarter of
1999, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $.42.  There were no non-
recurring items during the first quarter of 2000.  Highlights for the first
quarter of 2000 include:

 * A return on average assets of 1.10% and a return on average equity of

(1) The amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the
    federal statutory tax rate of 35% adjusted for certain federal tax
    preferences.
(2) Average balance includes non-accrual loans.  Loans consist of average total
    loans less average unearned income.  The amount of loan fees included in
    interest income on loans is immaterial.
(3) Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the difference between total
    interest earned and total interest paid by average interest earning assets.

<PAGE>

     Net interest income, the Corporation's primary source of earnings, is the
amount by which interest and fees generated by interest earning assets,
primarily loans and securities, exceed interest expense on deposits and borrowed
funds.  During the first quarter of 2000, net interest income, on a fully
taxable equivalent basis, totaled $39.4 million, representing a 8.88% increase
over the first quarter of 1999.  Net interest income consisted of interest
income of $69.7 million and interest expense of $30.3 million for the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $61.8 million and $25.6 million for each,
respectively, for the first quarter of 1999.  Net interest margin decreased
slightly from 4.76% at March 31, 1999 to 4.72% at March 31, 2000.  The yield on
total interest earning assets increased by 22 basis points and the rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities increased by 28 basis points.  With a higher
interest rate environment during the latter part of 1999 and into the first
quarter of 2000, the Corporation has experienced some margin compression.  In
the event that interest rates continue to increase, there is a possibility
that the compression could continue as further discussed within the "Liquidity
and Interest Rate Sensitivity" section of this report.

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in
net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes and rates of interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the quarter ending March 31,
2000 as compared to the quarter ending March 31, 1999 (in thousands):

     The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated
between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net
size of the rate and volume changes.

     Interest income on loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased
17.61% from $52.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to $62.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  This increase was the result of an
increase in average loans of 15.86% and to a lesser degree an increase of 6
basis points in the average yield over the same period last year.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $2.0 million or 8.78% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
average interest bearing deposits rose 3.43% over the same period.  The
average balances in time deposits and savings deposits increased by $84.0
million and $7.2 million, respectively, while the average balance in interest
bearing demand deposits decreased by $7.1 million.  The average balance in
non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $39.4 million.

<PAGE>

Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased $2.0 million for these same
periods due to a $119.2 million increase in average short-term borrowings and a
99 basis point increase in the rate paid on these borrowings.  Additionally,
interest expense on long-term debt increased $698,000 from March 31, 1999 due
to a 80.87% increase in average long-term debt, which was partially offset by a
decline in the rate paid of 60 basis points.

     The provision for loan losses charged to operations is a direct result of
management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which
takes into consideration factors, including qualitative factors, relevant to
the collectibility of the existing portfolio.  The provision for loan losses
increased 45.0% to $3.0 million for the first three months of 2000, as compared
to $2.1 million for the first three months of 1999.  The increase reflects the
Corporation's continued strong loan growth.  At March 31, 2000 the allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.30% compared to 1.31% at
March 31, 1999.

     Non-interest income increased by 12.83% during the first three months of
2000 as compared to the first three months of 1999.  Service charges, insurance
commissions and fees and trust income increased $2.5 million or 31.54% over the
first three months of 2000.  These higher levels of fee income are attributable
to increases in deposits as well as the Corporation's continued expansion into
annuity and mutual fund sales and insurance.  Gains on the sale of securities
decreased by $760,000 during the comparable quarterly periods.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 4.51% during the first three months
of 2000, compared to the first three months of 1999.  The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of $2.2 million in salaries and employee benefits.
This increase was due to normal annual salary adjustments and continued
escalation of certain benefit costs.  In addition, salaries and benefits have
increased as the Corporation supports the expansion into fee based services and
insurance.  Included in non-interest expenses during the first three months of
1999 was $1.3 million in merger related costs.  These expenses were primarily
data processing termination and conversion costs and change in control
provisions associated with various mergers.

     The Corporation's income tax expense was $4.7 million for the first quarter
of 2000 compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 1999.  The effective tax
rate of 31.72% for the first quarter of 2000 was lower than the 35.0% federal
statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting from tax-exempt instruments
and excludable dividend income.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

     The Corporation monitors its liquidity position on an ongoing basis to
assure that it is able to meet the need for funds at all times.  Given the
monetary nature of its assets and liabilities and the significant source of
liquidity provided by the available for sale securities portfolio, the
Corporation has sufficient sources of funds available as needed to meet its
routine, operational cash needs.

     Additionally, the Corporation has external sources of funds available
should it desire to use them.  These include approved lines of credit with
several major domestic banks, of which $25.0 million was unused at March 31,
2000.  To further meet its liquidity needs, the Corporation also has access to
the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as other
funding sources.

<PAGE>

     The financial performance of the Corporation is at risk from interest rate
fluctuations.  This interest rate risk arises due to differences between the
amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities subject to
repricing over a period of time, the difference between the change in various
interest rates and the embedded options in certain financial instruments.  The
Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Policy in order to achieve
and maintain earnings performance consistent with long-term goals while
maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk, a "well-capitalized"
balance sheet and adequate levels of liquidity.  This policy designates the
Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) as the body responsible for meeting this
objective.  The Corporation utilizes an asset/liability model to support its
balance sheet strategies. The Corporation uses gap analysis, net interest
income simulations and the economic value of equity to measure its interest
rate risk.

     The gap analysis below measures the interest rate risk of the Corporation
by comparing the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time.  The
cumulative one-year gap ratio was .90 at March 31, 2000, as compared to 1.09
at March 31, 1999.  A ratio of less than one indicates an excess of repricing
liabilities over repricing assets.  Based on the cumulative one-year gap and
assuming no change in asset/liability composition, an increase in interest
rates is expected to result in a reduction in net interest income over the
next twelve months.

     Net interest income simulations measure the exposure to short-term earnings
from changes in market rates of interest in a more rigorous and explicit
fashion.  The Corporation's current financial position is combined with
assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under
varying hypothetical interest rate scenarios.  An immediate 100 basis point
increase in interest rates as of March 31, 2000 is estimated to reduce net
interest income by 2.34% or $3.5 million over the next twelve month period.
Comparatively, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of March 31,
1999 was estimated to increase net interest income by .40% or $600,000 during
the twelve month period following March 31, 1999.

     The economic value of equity (EVE) measures the Corporation's long-term
earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest.  EVE is defined as
the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point
in time.  A decrease in EVE due to a specified interest rate change indicates
a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming
that the interest rate change remains in effect over the life of the balance
sheet.  A 100 basis point increase in interest rates is estimated to cause a
2.24% decline in EVE.

     These measures indicate that the Corporation's earnings are susceptible
to an increase in interest rates.  In general, the increased susceptibility
to rising interest rates can be attributed to a greater proportion of rate-
sensitive liabilities on the balance sheet at March 31, 2000.  However, the
disclosed measures are within the limits set forth in the Corporation's
Asset/Liability Policy.  Furthermore, the computations do not contemplate
any actions the ALCO could undertake in response to an increase in interest
rates such as the promotion of core non-maturity deposits or longer-term
certificates of deposit and the purchase of adjustable-rate investment
securities.  Thus the measurements assumed no change in asset/liability
composition.

     The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate
changes are based on numerous assumptions including asset/liability prepayments
and the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities.  The
analysis assumed that certain core non-maturity deposit rates had a low
correlation to changes in market rates of interest.  For economic value
purposes, core non-maturity deposits were decayed over a period of five
to eight years and were discounted using short-term market interest rates to
reflect the economic value they add relative to more costly alternate sources
of funds.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as
asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions
and economic forces.  The Corporation seeks to maintain a strong capital base
to support its growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current
operations and to promote public confidence.

     Capital management is a continuous process.  Since December 31, 1999,
stockholders' equity has increased $6.3 million as a result of earnings
retention.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the return on average equity
was 13.98% and the dividend payout ratio was 37.45%.  Book value per common
share was $13.15 at March 31, 2000, compared to $12.75 at March 31, 1999.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

     Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate
owned.  Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured loans.
Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been
discontinued.  It is the Corporation's policy to discontinue interest accruals
when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more
unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.  When a
loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest is reversed.
Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent
principal and interest has been paid, or the loan becomes both well secured
and in the process of collection.  Consumer installment loans are generally
charged off against the allowance for loan losses upon reaching 90 to 180 days
past due, depending on the installment loan type.  Restructured loans are loans
in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or
the original repayment terms due to financial distress.

     Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of
the Corporation's loan review and work-out process.  The potential risk of loss
on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of
any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows.
Losses are recognized where appropriate.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses includes the
evaluation of the loan portfolio based on internally generated loan review
reports and the historical loss experience of the remaining balances of the
various homogeneous loan pools which comprise the loan portfolio.  Specific
factors which are evaluated include the previous loan loss experience with the
customer, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the loan,
the collateral position of the loan, the quality of financial information
supplied by the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower.
Historical loss experience on the remaining portfolio segments is considered
in conjunction with the current status of economic conditions, loan loss trends,
delinquency and non-accrual trends, credit administration and concentrations of
credit risk.

     Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and
selected ratios (dollars in thousands):

REGULATORY MATTERS

     Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy
require the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of tier 1 capital to average assets (as
defined).

     As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation and each of its banking
subsidiaries have been categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action.  Management believes, as of March 31,
2000, that the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries are all
"well capitalized".  Following are capital ratios as of March 31, 2000 for
the Corporation (dollars in thousands):

     The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking
agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices.  The Corporation's and banking subsidiaries' capital
amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
