Item 5    Other Events
          ------------


On June 25, 1996, BT Financial Corporation ("BT") completed a
merger with Moxham Bank Corporation ("Moxham") whereby Moxham was
merged directly into BT.  Approximately 1.1 million shares of BT
common stock were exchanged for all of the outstanding preferred
and common stock of Moxham.  The transaction was accounted for as
a pooling of interests.

One of the required criteria for pooling of interests accounting is
that the parties to the business combination must share mutually in
the combined risks and rights of the transaction.  In order to
satisfy this risk sharing criteria of pooling of interests
accounting, Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series
Release 135 provides that the risk sharing will have occurred if no
affiliate of either party to the merger transaction sells or
otherwise disposes of any common stock received in the transaction
until such time as financial results covering at least 30 days of
post-merger combined operations have been published.

In order to satisfy the risk sharing criteria, and thereby allow
affiliates of either party to the transaction to sell or otherwise
dispose of BT common stock acquired in the merger (in compliance
with Securities and Exchange Commission Rules 145 and 144 regarding
resales of common stock acquired in a business combination) the
combined condensed results of operations of BT are presented as
follows for the one month and seven month periods ended July 31,
1996:

                 approximately $1.3 million related to the Moxham merger.


In the opinion of the management of BT, the unaudited results for

all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
results of operations for the one month and seven month periods.
