                  BT FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                (Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the management of BT Financial Corporation (BT or the
   Corporation), the accompanying consolidated financial statements include
   all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
   financial position and results of operations of BT for the periods
   presented.  All significant intercompany transactions have been
   eliminated in consolidation.  Certain amounts have been reclassified for
   comparative purposes.  The consolidated financial statements of BT
   include the accounts of BT and its wholly-owned affiliates, Johnstown
   Bank and Trust Company (Bank and Trust), Laurel Bank (Laurel), Fayette
   Bank (Fayette), BT Management Trust Company (Trust Company) and Bedford
   Associates, Inc.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the
   financial statements and the notes thereto included in BT's annual report
   to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1994.  The results of operations for the nine-month period
   ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
   which may be expected for the full year. 

2. Tax provisions for interim financial statements are based on the esti-
   mated effective tax rates for the full fiscal year.  The estimated
   effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate principally due to
   tax-exempt interest income.

3. On August 24, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend,
   payable October 14, 1994, to shareholders of record September 16, 1994. 
   BT transferred $5,102,104, representing 182,218 common shares at a market
   value of $28.00 from retained earnings to surplus on the declaration
   date.  On October 14, 1994, $911,090 was transferred from surplus to
   common stock, representing the $5.00 par value of the common shares
   issued.

4. In May 1993 the FASB issued Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain
   Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  Management adopted Statement
   115 at December 31, 1993 and classified the entire security portfolio as
   available for sale in order to effectively manage interest rate risk. 
   Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with net
   unrealized holding gains or losses included in shareholders' equity. 
   Beginning in the second quarter of 1994 BT began to classify certain
   securities as held-to-maturity.  Securities are classified as held-to-
   maturity when the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold
   those securities to maturity.  Securities held-to-maturity are carried at
   amortized cost.

5. Allowance for credit losses -- The Corporation adopted FAS 114,
   "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", on January 1, 1995. 
   Under the new standard, a loan is considered impaired, based on current
   information and events, if it is probable that the Corporation will be
   unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when
   due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The
   measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of
   expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective
   interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured
   for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.  The adoption
   of FAS 114 did not result in an additional provision for credit losses as
   determined at January 1, 1995.

   The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is periodically evaluated
   by the Corporation in order to maintain the allowance at a level that is
   sufficient to absorb probable credit losses.  Management's evaluation of
   the adequacy of the allowance is based on a review of the Corporation's
   historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan
   portfolio, including adverse circumstances that may affect the ability of
   the borrower to repay interest and/or principal, the estimated value of
   collateral, and an analysis of the levels and trends of delinquencies,
   charge-offs, and the risk ratings of the various loan categories.  

   At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans for which
   impairment has been recognized in accordance with FAS 114 totalled $2.3
   million, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $1.0 million.  The
   Corporation does not have any impaired loans for which there is not a
   related valuation allowance.

   For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the average recorded investment
   in impaired loans did not differ materially from the amount outstanding
   at September 30, 1995.  The allowance for loan losses related to impaired
   loans increased $732,000 during the third quarter of 1995.  The addition
   of an impaired commercial real estate loan and its associated valuation
   allowance was partially responsible for this increase.  Also contributing
   to the increase was a determination that the appraised value of
   collateral associated with another impaired commercial real estate loan
   had declined in value.

   Income recognition on impaired and nonaccrual loans -- Loans, including
   impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past
   due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of
   more than 90 days, unless such loans are well-secured and in the process
   of collection.   Loans that are on a current payment status or past due
   less than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in
   full of principal and/or interest is in doubt.

   A loan remains on nonaccrual status until it becomes current as to
   principal and interest or it is determined to be uncollectible and is
   charged off against the reserve for loan losses.

   While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of
   the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and
   principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal outstanding. 
   When the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected,
   interest income may be recognized on a cash basis.  

   At January 1, 1995, the Corporation did not have any loans meeting the
   in-substance foreclosure criteria classified as other real estate owned.

6. On September 1, 1995, BT entered into an agreement with Huntington
   Bancshares West Virginia, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntington
   Bancshares Incorporated, to acquire Huntington's wholly owned
   Pennsylvania bank subsidiary, Huntington National Bank of Pennsylvania
   for $25.5 million in cash.  BT will borrow $12.5 million to finance the
   purchase, increasing its unsecured long-term debt to approximately $20
   million.  Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory
   approvals and satisfaction of certain other conditions.  When the
   transaction is completed, Huntington National Bank of Pennsylvania, which
   is headquartered in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, will be merged into Fayette
   Bank, a Uniontown-based affiliate of BT.  BT expects the merger to be
   completed by December 31, 1995.  At September 30, 1995, Huntington
   National Bank of Pennsylvania had approximately $106 million in assets.

7. On October 24, 1995, Johnstown Bank and Trust Company, BT's largest
   banking affiliate, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to
   acquire Armstrong County Trust Company of Kittanning, Pennsylvania.  The
   Armstrong agreement provides that if the average price per share for BT
   common stock is between $34 and $27.50 for a specified period of time
   before the closing of the transaction, or if BT enters into an agreement
   that would result in an acquisition of BT by another organization, each
   share of Armstrong common stock will be exchanged for 26.5 shares of BT
   common stock and $596.25 in cash.  If the average price for BT common
   stock is more than $36 per share during the valuation period, BT will
   have the option to adjust the exchange ratio by reducing the number of
   shares of BT common stock or cash as agreed to by Armstrong so that the
   total consideration does not exceed $1,497.25 per Armstrong share, or
   $11,978,000 in the aggregate for all 8,000 Armstrong shares outstanding. 
   If the average price for BT common stock is less than $27.50 per share
   during the valuation period, Armstrong may terminate the agreement if BT
   does not increase the number of shares and cash to maintain a total
   consideration of $1,325 per Armstrong share, or $10,600,000 in the
   aggregate.  The Armstrong agreement is subject to approval by Armstrong's
   shareholders as well as state and federal authorities and to the
   satisfaction of certain other conditions.

   Armstrong Trust will be merged into Johnstown Bank and Trust Company,
   with Johnstown Bank and Trust Company being the surviving bank.  BT
   expects the merger to be completed by March 31, 1996.

   At September 30, 1995, BT had approximately $1.1 billion in assets and
   Armstrong County Trust had approximately $51 million in total assets.  If
   the acquisitions of Armstrong and Huntington had occurred on September
   30, 1995, BT's total assets would have been approximately $1.250 billion
   on a pro forma basis.

                                  ITEM 2
                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of the material changes
in financial position between December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1995, and
the material changes in results of operations comparing the three and nine
month periods ending September 30, 1995 with the respective results for the
comparable periods of 1994.  The following should be read in conjunction with
the corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994.


FINANCIAL REVIEW

Changes in Financial Position

Total loans outstanding, net of unearned interest, increased $33.8 million at
September 30, 1995, compared to year-end 1994, and $56.8 million compared to
September 30, 1994.  Loans generally provide higher yields than securities;
therefore, BT Financial Corporation (BT) continues to focus its efforts on
generating quality loan growth.  Commercial loan growth accounted for most of
the increase during the first nine months of 1995 while an advance in consumer
loans provided the majority of the expansion when compared to September 30,
1994.  BT has achieved this growth  while attaining increasingly higher levels
of asset quality.  The level of non-performing loans (which includes
nonaccrual and restructured loans) was $2.8 million at September 30, 1995, and
$4.0 million at December 31, 1994, compared to $4.4 million at September 30,
1994.  Non-performing loans as a percent of outstanding loans, net of unearned
interest, were 0.37%, 0.54%, and 0.61% for the same periods, respectively. 
Total non-performing assets declined $571,000 compared to year-end 1994 and
$1,073,000 compared to September 30, 1994.  Additions to non-performing assets
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, included other real estate owned
related to a commercial real estate loan.  This loan is well collateralized
and no significant loss is expected.

The following table provides information with respect to BT's past-due loans
and the components of its non-performing assets for the periods indicated.

                         ================================================

                         ------------------------------------------------
 Total non-performing 
 assets                      $3,507          $4,078              $4,580
                         ================================================
 
The reserve for loan losses was $7.5 million at September 30, 1995, compared
to $7.2 million at December 31, 1994, and September 30, 1994.  The reserve was
2.64 times the amount of non-performing loans at September 30, 1995, compared
to 1.81 and 1.64 times at December 31, 1994, and September 30, 1994,
respectively.  As a percent of total outstanding loans, net of unearned
interest, the reserve for loan losses was 0.97% at September 30, 1995, and
December 31, 1994, compared to 1.00% at September 30, 1994.

Securities, which consist primarily of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government
agencies, decreased $19.1 million compared to December 31, 1994 and $23.1
million compared to September 30, 1994.  These decreases are due primarily to
the maturing and sales of various securities and the use of proceeds to fund
the recent growth in total loans outstanding.  Money market investments
decreased $5.7 million compared to year-end 1994, and $16.7 million compared
to September 30, 1994.  The decline in money market investments reflects
funding of loan growth.

Total deposits at September 30, 1995 increased $7.6 million compared to
December 31, 1994, and were relatively flat compared to September 30, 1994. 
The increase in deposits over year-end 1994 was primarily in certificates of
deposit as consumers reacted to rising market interest rates by shifting funds
into longer term investments.  This growth was from new deposits as well as
some transfer of funds from demand deposits and savings accounts.  The
increase in deposits enabled BT to reduce the amount of its borrowed funds, as
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
decreased $16.6 million at September 30, 1995, compared to year-end 1994.


Results of Operations

A five percent stock dividend was distributed October 14, 1994, to
shareholders of record September 16, 1994.  All per share data in the
following discussion has been restated to reflect the stock dividend.  Net
income was $3.0 million, or $0.80 per share, for the third quarter of 1995, an
increase of $189,000, or $0.05 per share over the third quarter of 1994.  Net
income for the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995 was $8.5 million or $2.22
per share, an increase of $384,000, or $0.10 per share, from the same period
of 1994.

The annualized return on average assets for the third quarters of 1995 and
1994 was 1.11% and 1.06%, respectively.  The annualized return on average
shareholders' equity was 12.45% for the third quarter of 1995 and 12.95% for
the third quarter of 1994.  For the nine-months-ended September 30, the
annualized return on average assets was 1.03% in 1995 and 1.01% in 1994.  The
annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the nine-months-ended
September 30 was 12.06 and 12.13 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $548,000 and $787,000
for the quarter and the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995.  The growth in
the third quarter is a result of a net interest margin increase of 12 basis
points to 4.89% and a $19.4 million expansion in average earning assets over
the same period last year.  The nine-month period increase is due to a higher
level of average earning assets, which increased $35.1 million.  This growth
was tempered by a decline in the net interest margin of 6 basis points to
4.76% from the prior year nine-month period.  Recent net interest margin
movement suggests a strengthening pattern approaching prior year-to-date
levels.

The provision for loan losses increased $459,000 in the third quarter and
$602,000 for the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995 as a result of
management's assessment of the provision necessary to maintain an adequate
reserve against potential future losses based upon current size and quality of
the loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs were $272,000 in the third quarter of
1995 and $878,000 in the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995, compared to
$226,000 and $551,000 for the same periods in 1994.

Total other income increased $171,000 for the third quarter and $138,000 for
the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995.  In both periods, Trust income and
service fees increased primarily due to greater volumes, while security
transaction income declined mainly due to market conditions resulting in less
restructuring of the portfolio in the current year versus the prior year.

Total other expenses decreased $423,000 in the third quarter and $569,000 for
the nine-months-ended September 30, 1995.  Salaries and wages increased
$67,000 and $520,000 for the quarter and nine-months-ended September 30, 1995,
due to periodic merit increases.  Employee benefit costs increased $66,000 in
the third quarter primarily due to increased pension expense and the onset of
employer funded contributions associated with a newly implemented 401K
employee retirement program.  The nine-month comparison to prior year reflects
a decline of $405,000 in benefit costs due to reduced hospitalization premiums
and the reduction of self-funded reserves due to a change in BT's health care
insurance provider.  Occupancy expense increased $9,000 and $47,000 and
equipment expense increased $125,000 and $200,000, for the quarter and nine-
months-ended September 30, primarily due to greater depreciation expense. 
FDIC insurance declined $443,000 for the quarter, and $353,000 year to date,
due to a retroactive deposit insurance rate adjustment resulting in a refund
of $457,000, received in the third quarter of 1995.  There are currently
legislative proposals under consideration that would merge the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) into the Bank Insurance Fund.  BT has
deposits of approximately $228 million that were obtained from acquisitions in
prior years that are considered SAIF deposits.  Current proposals include a
one-time assessment of $0.65 to $0.85 per $100 of SAIF deposits.  There  is
also discussion concerning a possible reduction in SAIF deposits subject to
the assessment due to the runoff of some of these deposits subsequent to
acquisition.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased $36,000 and $144,000
for the quarter and nine-month period, due to the completed amortization of
certain intangible assets in the third quarter of 1994.  Other operating
expenses declined $211,000 and $434,000 for the quarter and year-to-date
comparison period, primarily due to reduced advertising expense and one-time
acquisition related costs that occurred during the first quarter of 1994. 
Management continuously strives to control operating expenses while providing
the affiliates the support they need to offer quality products and services to
our customers.  Several departmental areas have been centralized within the
corporation with the underlying goal of attaining higher levels of
efficiencies while simultaneously improving profitability.

BT's effective tax rate was 34.2% and 32.4% for the third quarter and nine-
months-ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to 28.2% and 30.9% for
the same periods in 1994.  The lower effective tax rates for 1994 compared to
1995 were primarily due to the deductibility of goodwill amortization
associated with acquisitions in prior years.  Certain amortization associated
with the acquisitions was previously nondeductible for federal income tax
purposes.  As a result of changes in the federal income tax laws in 1994, BT
elected to amortize certain goodwill over a 15-year period for federal income
tax purposes, thereby allowing deductibility for both financial statement and
federal income purposes.
