S&T BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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.   Operating results for the nine month period ended September
30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1998.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

On September 21, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one common
stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend.  The new shares were
distributed on October 30, 1998 to shareholders of record on October 15, 1998.  
This increased the outstanding shares by 13,789,110.  All per share amounts in
the report have been restated to reflect the stock split.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period.  Options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities are
excluded from the basic calculation, but are included in diluted earnings per
share.  Average shares outstanding for computing basic earnings per share 
were 27,805,228 and 28,257,954 for the period ending September 30, 1998 and
1997.  Average shares outstanding for computing dilutive earnings per share
were 28,130,976 and 28,581,988 for the period ending September 30, 1998 and
1997.  In computing dilutive earnings per share, average shares outstanding
have been increased by the common stock equivalents relating to S&T's available
stock options.

As of January 1, 1998, S&T adopted Statement 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income.  Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
of comprehensive income and its components.  The adoption of this Statement
had no impact on S&T's net income or shareholders' equity.  Statement 130
requires unrealized gains or losses on S&T's available-for-sale securities,
which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to
be included in comprehensive income.  Prior period financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of Statement 130.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive 
income amounted to $25,984,000 and $34,718,000.

NOTE D--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   
S&T, in the normal course of business, commits to extend credit and issue
standby letters of credit.  The obligations are not recorded in S&T's
financial statements.  Loan commitments and standby letters of credit are
subject to S&T's normal credit underwriting policies and procedures and
generally require collateral based upon management's evaluation of each
customer's financial condition and ability to satisfy completely the terms
of the agreement.  S&T's exposure to credit loss in the event the customer
does not satisfy the terms of agreement equals the notional amount of the
obligation less the value of any collateral.  Unfunded loan commitments
totaled $361,198,000 and obligations under standby letters of credit
totaled $65,040,000 at September 30, 1998.

At September 30, 1998, S&T had marketable equity securities, totaling
$2,581,267 at amortized cost and $4,780,688 at estimated market value,
that were subject to covered call option contracts.  The purpose of
these contracts was to generate fee income for S&T.

NOTE E - LITIGATION

S&T, in the normal course of business, is subject to various legal
proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted.  No
material losses are anticipated by management as a result of these
legal proceedings.

S&T BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES                          
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL           
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                         
                                                          
The following discussion and analysis is presented so       
that shareholders may review in further detail the          
financial condition and results of  operations of S&T       
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (S&T).  This                 
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction       
with the condensed consolidated financial statements        
and the selected financial data presented elsewhere         
in this report.                                             
                                                           
Financial Condition                                        
                                                           
Total assets averaged $2.0 billion in the first nine        
months of 1998, a $162.4 million increase from the          
1997 full year average.  Average loans increased            
$67.3 million and average securities and federal            
funds increased $76.4 million in the first nine             
months of 1998 compared to the 1997 full year               
averages.  Funding for this loan and security growth        
was primarily provided by a $43.2 million increase in       
average deposits, a $12.1 million increase in average       
retained earnings and a $101.1 million increase in         
average borrowings.                                         
                                                           
Lending Activity                                            
                                                           
Total loans at September 30, 1998 were $1.3 billion,        
a $69.4 million or 5.5% increase from December 31,          
1997.  Average loans increased $67.3 million, or 5%         
to $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September         
30, 1998 from the 1997 full year average.  Changes in       
the composition of the loan portfolio during 1998           
included increases of $14.5 million of  commercial          
loans, $77.2 million of commercial real estate loans,       
offset by a decrease of $9.6 million of residential         
mortgages and $12.6 million of installment loans.           
                                                           
Commercial real estate loans comprise 29% of the loan       
portfolio.  Although commercial real estate loans can       
be an area of higher risk, management believes these        
risks are mitigated by limiting the percentage amount       
of portfolio composition, a rigorous underwriting           
review by loan administration and the fact that many        
of the commercial real estate loans are                     
owner-occupied and/or seasoned properties.  During          
1998, S&T sold $13.8 million of participations in           
originated commercial real estate loans.  The purpose       
of these sales was to diversify credit risk on larger       
loans and to generate fee income from servicing.            
                                                           
Residential mortgage lending continued to be a              
strategic area of focus during the first nine  months       
of 1998 through a centralized mortgage origination          
department, ongoing product redesign, the utilization
of commission compensated originators and the               
implementation of a mortgage banking function.
Management believes that if a downturn in the local         
residential real estate market occurs, the impact of        
declining values on the real estate loan portfolio          
will be negligible because of S&T's conservative            
mortgage lending policies.  These policies generally        
require, for portfolio loans, a maximum term of             
twenty years for fixed rate mortgages and private           
mortgage insurance for loans with less than a 20%           
down payment.  At September 30, 1998 the residential        
mortgage portfolio had a 24% composition of                 
adjustable rate mortgages.                                  
                                                           
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1997, S&T sold           
$12.7 million of long-term, lower-yielding 1-4 family       
mortgages, acquired from the Peoples  merger, to the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).  S&T          
retained ongoing servicing rights on the mortgages          
sold to FNMA.  The rationale for these sales is to          
mitigate interest rate risk associated with holding         
long-term residential mortgages in the loan                 
portfolio, to generate fee revenue from servicing,          
and still maintain the primary customer relationship.       
During the first nine months of 1998, S&T sold $7.3         
million of 1-4 family mortgages to FNMA.  S&T will          
continue to sell longer-term loans to FNMA in the           
future on a selective basis, especially during              
periods of lower interest rates.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL           
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF                                    
OPERATIONS                                                  
                                                           
Installment loan decreases are primarily associated         
with significantly lower  volumes in the indirect           
auto loan category.   Pricing pressures have been           
unusually intense in the indirect auto loan market          
during the last two years and the decision was made         
to exit this line of business and allow the portfolio       
to roll off.  Installment loans have also decreased         
due to  recent changes in government regulations            
which have significantly decreased the profit               
potential of guaranteed student loans.  The remaining       
student loan portfolio of $7.0 million was sold in
1997.  S&T will continue to distribute student loan         
applications for customer convenience, but will not         
fund or hold the loans.                                     
                                                           
Loan underwriting standards for S&T are established         
by a formal policy administered by the S&T Bank
Credit Administration Department, and subject to the
periodic review and approval of the S&T Bank Board of       
Directors.                                                  
                                                           
Rates and terms for commercial real estate and              
equipment loans normally are negotiated, subject to         
such variables as economic conditions, marketability        
of collateral, credit history of the borrower and           
future cash flows.  The loan to value policy                
guideline for commercial loans is generally 75%.            
                                                           
The residential, first lien, mortgage loan to value         
policy guideline is 80%. Higher loan to value loans         
can be approved with the appropriate private mortgage       
insurance coverage.  Second lien positions are              
sometimes incurred with home equity loans, but              
normally only to the extent that the combined credit        
exposure for both first and second liens do not             
exceed 100% of loan to value.                               
                                                           
A variety of unsecured and secured installment loan         
and credit card products are offered by S&T.                
However, the bulk of the consumer loan portfolio is         
automobile loans.  Loan to value guidelines for
direct loans are 90%-100% of invoice for new
automobiles and  80%-90% of "NADA" value for used           
automobiles.  Loan to value policy guidelines for           
automobile loans purchased from dealers on a third          
party basis are 90%-125% of invoice for new                 
automobiles and 100%-125% of "Black Book" value for         
used automobiles.                                           
                                                           
Management intends to continue to pursue quality            
loans in a variety of  lending categories within our        
market area in order to honor our commitment to             
provide the best service possible to our customers.         
S&T's loan portfolio primarily represents loans to          
businesses and consumers in our market area of              
Western Pennsylvania rather than to borrowers in            
other areas of the country or to borrowers in other         
nations.  S&T has not concentrated its lending              
activities in any industry or group.  During the past       
several years, management has concentrated on               
building an effective credit and loan administration        
staff which assists management in evaluating loans          
before they are made and identifies problem loans           
early.                                                      
                                                           
Security Activity                                           
                                                           
Average securities increased $80.6 million in the           
first nine months of 1998 compared to the 1997 full         
year average.  The increase in the average investment       
portfolio was related to an increase in average             
taxable securities of $92.0 million, offset by a            
decrease in tax-exempt state and municipal securities       
average balances of $11.4 million.   This increase          
was comprised of $98.2 million in U.S. government           
agency securities, $0.5 million of mortgage-backed          
securities, $2.2 million of corporate equity                
securities and $4.5 million of Federal Home Loan Bank       
(FHLB) stock.  Offsetting these increases were              
average decreases of $11.8 million of U.S. treasury         
securities and $1.6 million of corporate securities.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF                                    
OPERATIONS                                                  
                                                           
The significant increase in U.S. government agency         
securities, classified as available for sale, during        
1998 was due to a  balance sheet leveraging strategy        
to maximize net interest income by taking advantage         
of low, short-term funding rates.  Interest rate risk       
associated with this strategy is managed and                
monitored through S&T's Asset Liability Committee           
(ALCO).                                                     
                                                           
The equity securities portfolio is primarily                
comprised of  bank holding companies, as well as            
preferred and utility stocks to take advantage of the       
dividends received deduction for corporations.              
During 1998, the equity portfolio yielded 10.4% on a        
fully taxable equivalent basis and had unrealized           
gains, net of nominal unrealized losses, of  $49.4          
million.  The equity securities portfolio consists of       
securities traded on the various stock markets and          
are subject to change in market value.  The FHLB            
capital stock is a membership and borrowing                 
requirement and is acquired and sold at stated value.       
                                                           
S&T's policy for security classification includes           
U.S. treasuries, U.S. government agencies,                  
mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and corporate              
equities as available for sale.  Municipal securities       
and other debt securities are classified as held to         
maturity.  At  September 30, 1998, unrealized gains,        
net of unrealized losses, for securities classified         
as available for sale were $58.9 million.                   
                                                           
Allowance for Loan Losses                                   
                                                           
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is            
determined by management through evaluation of the          
loss potential on individual nonperforming,                 
delinquent and high-dollar loans, review of economic        
conditions and business trends, historical loss             
experience, growth and composition of the loan              
portfolio as well as other relevant factors.   Asset        
quality is a major corporate objective at S&T and           
management believes that the total allowance for loan       
losses is adequate to absorb probable loan losses.          
                                                           
The balance of nonperforming loans at September 30,        
1998, which includes nonaccrual loans past due 90           
days or more, was $3.6 million, or 0.27% of total           
loans.  This compares to nonperforming loans of $3.6        
million or 0.28% of total loans at December 31, 1997.       

S&T had a $67.3 million, or 5%, increase in average
loans during the first nine months of 1998 as compared
to the 1997 average.  All of this portfolio growth          
occurred in the industrial and commercial real estate       
classifications.  Despite currently favorable credit        
quality statistics, S&T recognizes the increased            
risks of these types of loans, especially when the          
current economic expansion slows or declines.  Also         
unknown is the effect that the Year 2000 computer           
issue will have on the businesses of commercial             
customers, pending completion of a Year 2000 risk           
assessment program currently in process for major S&T       
commercial customers.  Therefore, S&T believed it           
prudent to increase the allowance for loan losses to
$24.8 million, or 1.85% of total loans at September         
30, 1998, as compared to $20.4 million, or 1.60% at         
December 31, 1997.  During the third quarter of 1998,       
$2.0 million was charged-off related to an out of
trust problem on a floor plan inventory loan with a
local automobile dealer.                                    
                                                           
Deposits                                                    
                                                           
Average total deposits increased by $43.2 million, or      
3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as          
compared to the 1997 average. Changes in the average        
deposit mix included a $12.5 million increase in time       
deposits, $25.0 million increase in money market            
accounts, $1.5 million increase in NOW accounts and a       
$17.4 million increase in demand accounts, offset by        
a $13.2 million decrease in savings accounts.  On           
September 25, 1998, S&T consummated the purchase of         
Mellon Bank's Clarion office which added                    
approximately $40.0 million in deposits.                    
                                                           
Special rate deposits of $100 thousand and over were        
7% of total deposits at September 30, 1998 and              
December 31, 1997 and primarily represent deposit           
relationships with local customers in our market            
area.  Retail time deposit increases of $12.5 million       
were the result of expanded promotional programs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL           
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF                                    
OPERATIONS                                                  
                                                           
During the second half of 1995, S&T issued $25.0            
million of retail certificates of deposits through          
two brokerage firms, further broadening the                 
availability of reasonably priced deposit funds.  At        
September 30, 1998, there were $26.6 million of these       
brokered retail certificates of deposits outstanding.       
Money market accounts were recently repriced in order       
to be more competitive with money funds offered by          
brokerage firms.  As a result of this repricing and         
proactive sales activities to high-balance deposit          
customers,  S&T has experienced a significant shift         
in funds from savings to money market accounts.             
Although this strategy tends to increase cost of            
funds, management believes it is necessary for              
customer retention and the development of long-term         
relationships.                                              
                                                           
Management believes that the S&T deposit base is            
stable and that S&T has the ability to attract new          
deposits, mitigating a funding dependency on volatile       
liabilities.  In addition, S&T has the ability to           
access both public and private markets to raise             
long-term funding if necessary.                             
                                                           
Borrowings                                                  
                                                           
Average borrowings increased $101.1 million for the         
nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the        
1997 annual average and were comprised of retail            
repurchase agreements (REPO's), wholesale REPO's,           
federal funds purchased and long-term borrowings.           
S&T defines repurchase agreements with its local,           
retail customers as retail REPOS; wholesale REPOS are       
those transacted with other banks and brokerage firms       
with terms normally ranging from 1 to 14 days.              
                                                           
The average balance in retail REPOS  increased              
approximately $10.4 million for the first nine months       
of 1998 compared to the full year 1997 average. This        
increase is primarily attributable to new REPO sweep        
relationships in our cash management department.  S&T       
views retail REPOS as a relatively stable source of         
funds since most of these accounts are with local,          
long-term customers.                                        
                                                           
Wholesale REPOS and federal funds increased $43.1           
million for the first nine months of 1998 compared to       
the full year 1997 average.  The aforementioned             
balance sheet leveraging strategy has increased  the        
usage of wholesale REPO fundings in 1998.                   
                                                           
Average long-term borrowings have increased $47.7           
million in the first nine months of 1998 as compared        
to the full year 1997 average.  At September 30,            
1998, S&T had long-term borrowings outstanding of           
$49.6 million at a fixed rate and $119.6 million at         
an adjustable rate with the FHLB.  The purpose of           
these borrowings was to provide matched, fixed rate         
fundings for newly originated loans, to mitigate the        
risk associated with volatile liability fundings, to        
take advantage of lower cost funds through the FHLB's       
Community Investment Program and to fund stock              
buy-backs.

Shareholders' equity decreased $8.9 million at              
September 30, 1998, compared to December 31, 1997.          
Net income was $28.2 million and dividends paid to          
shareholders were $13.0 million for the nine months         
ended September 30, 1998.  The decrease is                  
attributable to the conclusion of the Modified Dutch        
Auction in which S&T repurchased approximately              
880,000 shares of its common stock.  An authorization       
to buy-back up to 2,120,000 shares not acquired in          
the Modified Dutch Auction remains in effect until          
December 31, 1998. During the second and third              
quarters of 1998, S&T  repurchased an additional            
238,000 shares of its common stock.

S&T paid 46% of net income in dividends, equating to        
an annual dividend rate of $0.64 per share during the       
first nine months of 1998. On September 21, 1998. the       
Board of Directors of S&T approved a two-for-one            
stock split which will be effected in the form of a         
100 percent stock dividend.  The new shares will be         
distributed on October 30, 1998 to shareholders of          
record on October 15, 1998.  The split will increase        
the number of shares outstanding to 27,577,214.   
                                                           
The book value of S&T's common stock decreased              
slightly from $9.20 at December 31, 1997 to $9.11
at September 30,1998, primarily due to the stock            
buy-backs during the first nine months of 1998.             
Equity associated with the available for sale               
securities portfolio decreased $2.2 million during          
the first nine months of 1998.  The market price of         
S&T's common stock was $26.75 per share at September        
30, 1998, an increase from $21.63 per share at              
December 31, 1997.                                          
                                                           
S&T continues to maintain a strong capital position
with a leverage ratio of 10.8% as compared to the           
minimum regulatory guideline of 3.0%. S&T's                 
risk-based capital Tier I and Total ratios were 15.3%       
and 16.6% respectively, at September 30, 1998.  These       
ratios place S&T well above the Federal Reserve             
Board's risk-based capital guidelines of 4.0% and           
8.0% for Tier I and Total, respectively.

Nine months ended September 30, 1997
                                                           
Net Income                                                  
                                                           
Net income increased to $28.2 million or $1.00 per          
diluted earnings per share in the first nine months         
of 1998 from $24.7 million or $0.87 per diluted             
earnings per share for  the same period of 1997.            
The significant improvement during the first nine           
months of 1998 was the result of higher net interest        
income,  noninterest income and security gains.             
Operating expenses were lower due to the People's           
merger related costs and post merger restructurings         
incurred in the first nine months of 1997.                  
                                                           
Net Interest Income                                         
                                                           
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest           
income increased $2.3 million or 4% in the first nine       
months of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.         
The net  yield on interest-earning assets was 4.63%         
in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to 4.90%       
in the same period of 1997.  The decline in the net         
yield on interest earning assets during 1998 was            
primarily attributed the aforementioned balance sheet       
leveraging strategy with arbitraged securities, and         
stock buy-backs during the first nine months of 1998.       
                                                           
In the first nine months of 1998, average securities        
increased $80.6 million and average loans increased         
$67.3 million.  The yields on average securities            
decreased by 17 basis points during the period and          
the yield on average loans remained constant.               
                                                           
In the fourth quarter of 1997, S&T implemented a            
balance sheet leveraging strategy through the               
purchase of approximately $100 million of                   
intermediate-term U.S. government securities, funded        
with short-term borrowings.  The strategy provided          
pre-tax spreads of 100-125 basis points during the          
period with manageable risks, contributing positively       
to net interest income, but also causing a 13 basis         
points decline in the net yield on interest earning         
assets.                                                     
                                                           
Average interest-bearing deposits provided $49.1            
million of the funds for the growth in securities and       
loans; cost of deposits totaled 3.77%, an increase of       
1 basis point from 1997.  The cost of REPOS and

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

other borrowed funds decreased 6 basis points to
5.45%.  More longer-term borrowings were utilized in
1998 in order to take advantage of low, long-term
funds rates and to mitigate interest rate risk.

Also positively affecting net interest income was a
$22.0 million increase to average net free funds.
Average net free funds are the excess of  demand
deposits, other non-interest bearing liabilities and
shareholders' equity over non-earning assets.  This
increase is net of the reduction to shareholders'
equity resulting from stock buy-backs.

Maintaining consistent spreads between earning assets
and costing liabilities is very significant to S&T's
financial performance since net interest income
comprises 87% of operating revenue.  A variety of 
asset/liablity management strategies were
successfully implemented within prescribed ALCO risk
parameters that enabled S&T to maintain a net
interest margin reasonably consistent with historical
levels.  The level and mix of funds is continually
monitored by ALCO in order to mitigate the interest
rate sensitivity and liquidity risks of the balance
sheet.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased to $8.1
million for the first nine months of 1998 as compared
to $3.1 million in the same period of 1997.  The
increase was the result of management's assessment of
economic conditions, credit quality statistics, loan
administration effectiveness and other factors that
would have an impact on future probable losses in the
loan portfolio. 

Credit quality statistics are an important factor in
determining the amount of provision expense.  Net
loan charge-offs totaled $3.7 million for the first
nine months of 1998 compared to $1.4 million for the
same period 1997.  Net loan charge-offs in 1998
included a $2.0 million charge-off to one related
credit.  Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.27%
at September 30, 1998 and 0.32% in the same period of
1997.

Also affecting the amount of provision expense is the
amount and types of loan growth.  Recent loan growth
has been primarily in the commercial sectors, which
can be areas of higher risks in the event of an
economic downturn.  Therefore, despite currently
favorable credit quality statistics, S&T believed
that a significant increase to the allowance for loan
losses was warranted in 1998.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $6.4 million or 54% in
the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same
period of 1997.  Increases included $0.7 million in
service charges and fees, $0.3 million in trust
income, $4.6 million in security gains and $0.8
million in other income.

The 20% increase in service charges on deposit
accounts was primarily the result of  expanding new
cash management relationships, management's continual
effort to implement reasonable fees for services
performed, to manage closely the collection of these
fees, as well as the implementation of foreign ATM
service charges in the fourth quarter of 1997.  The
increase in trust fees is attributable to expanded
marketing efforts to develop new trust business and
to expand current relationships.  The People's merger
presents new trust opportunities within the Allegheny
County market for trust products.  The increase in
other income  was a result of increased performance
for brokerage activities, credit insurance, letters
of credit fees and fees on covered call options.
These areas were the focus of several  strategic
initiatives and product enhancements implemented in
order to expand this source of revenue.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

S&T recognized $8.2 million of gains on equity
securities in the first nine months of 1998.  $3.0
million were the result of Emerging Issues Task Force
#91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method
Investments (EITF 91 5).  This accounting
pronouncement requires the mark to market of equity
securities when an acquisition of the company in
which securities are owned occurs. EITF 91-5 gains
recognized included $2.6 million from the First
Union/Corestates merger and $0.4 million from the
CFX/Peoples Heritage merger.  The remaining security
gains were taken on available for sale equities
securities in the first nine months of 1998 in order
to maximize returns by taking advantage of market
opportunities when presented.  Unrealized gains, net
of unrealized losses, in the available for sale
equities portfolio totaled $49.4 million at
September 30, 1998.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $1.3 million or 4% at
September 30, 1998 compared to September 30, 1997.
The decrease is primarily attributable to $2.2
million of merger  related and other nonrecurring
expenses associated with the acquisition of Peoples
Bank of Unity (Peoples) during the first nine months
of 1997.  Merger related and other nonrecurring
expenses included costs for severance and early
retirement programs, the write-off and conversion of
data processing systems, as well as legal, accounting
and investment banker expenses.  Other expenses of
$0.9 million were provided for during the first nine
months of 1998 and included $0.2 million of
consulting fees for reengineering of retail loan
delivery services, $0.3 million for Year 2000
projected costs and $0.4 million of costs associated
with the conversion of data processing systems for a
branch purchase.

Recurring expenses were relatively flat during the
first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first
nine months of 1997.  Severance and early retirement
programs were implemented in May 1997 in order to
eliminate duplicate positions following post merger
restructuring and consolidation of operations.
Average full-time equivalent staff decreased from 667
to 658.  S&T's efficiency ratio, which measures
noninterest expense as a  percent of recurring
noninterest income plus net interest income on a
fully taxable equivalent basis, improved to 41.85% at
September 30, 1998 as compared to 44.10% at September
30, 1997.

Federal income tax expense increased $1.8 million at
September  30, 1998 as compared to September 30, 1997
primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income in
1998.  The effective tax rate for the first nine
months of 1998 was 30%, and 29% during the same
period of 1997,  which is below the 35% statutory
rate due to benefits resulting from tax-exempt
interest, excludable dividend income and low income
housing tax credits (LIHTC).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to
Three months ended September 30, 1997


Net Income

Net income increased to $9.5 million or $0.34 per
diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of
1998 from $8.6 million or $0.30 per diluted earnings
per share for  the same period of 1997, a 13%
earnings per share improvement.  This significant
improvement is due to higher net interest income,
higher noninterest income, higher security gains,
reduced operating expenses and increased revenues
resulting from  the synergies achieved with the
Peoples merger and stock buy-backs.

Net Interest Income

On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest
income increased $1.0 million or 5% in the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.
This improvement in net interest income primarily
resulted from a higher level of earning assets while
spreads decreased.  Average earning assets increased
increased by $162.1 million as compared to the third
quarter of 1997, primarily as a result $76.2 million
of loan growth and $86.0 million of security growth.
Funding for this asset growth was provided by available
for sale securities sales, deposits, borrowings and
retained earnings.  Net interest margin on a fully
taxable equivalent basis was 4.60% for the third
quarter of 1998, as compared to 4.85% for the same
period of 1997.  The decline in the net interest 
margin is primarily due to the aforementioned balance
sheet leveraging strategy utilizing securities arbitrage
and the reduction of common equity through stock buy-back
programs.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased to $2.0 million
for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $0.8 million in
the same period of 1997.  Net loan charge-offs totaled
$2.3 million for the third quarter of 1998, of which $2.0
million was related to a single credit, compared to $0.3
million for the same period 1997.  The provision expense
in 1998 was a result of an effort to maintain S&T's 
allowance for loan losses to total loans at a relatively
consistent level with loan growth, to provide for the
charge-off of a single credit this quarter and the continuing 
change in the loan portfolio mix to a greater percentage of
commercial loans.  The provision expense also considers
management's assessment of economic conditions, credit
quality statistics, loan administration effectiveness and
other factors that would have an impact on future probable
losses in the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $1.1 million or 34% in the 
third quarter of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.
Increases included $0.7 million in security/nonrecurring
gains, $0.2 million  in service charges and fees and $0.2
million in other income during the third quarter of 1998.
S&T recognized $0.7 million of gains on equity securities
in the third quarter of 1998.  The security gains were taken
on available for sale equities securities in the third quarter
of 1998 in order to maximize returns by taking advantage of
market opportunities when presented.  $0.4 million of 
nonrecurring gains were recognized from oil and gas producing
properties that were sold during the third quarter of 1998. 
The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was 
primarily the result of  expanding new cash management
relationships, management's continual effort to implement
reasonable fees for services performed, to manage closely the
collection of these fees, as well as the implementation of 
foreign ATM service charges in the fourth quarter of 1997.
The increase in other income  was a result of increased 
performance for brokerage activities, letters of credit fees,
insurance and fees on covered call options.  These areas were
the focus of several  strategic initiatives and product 
enhancements implemented in order to expand this source of
revenue.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $0.4 million or 4% in the third
quarter of 1998 as compared to 1997.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to the partial recovery of a previously charged-
off fraud loss and adjustments to employee benefit plans.

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

Recurring expenses were relatively flat during the third
quarter of 1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1997.
Severance and early retirement programs were implemented
in May 1997 in order to eliminate duplicate positions 
following the merger restructuring and consolidation of
operations.  S&T's efficiency ratio, which measures
noninterest expense as a percent of recurring noninterest
income plus net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent
basis, improved to 39.88% at September 30, 1998 as compared
to 42.67%at September 30, 1997.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense increased $0.4 million at
September  30, 1998 as compared to September 30, 1997
primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income in 1998.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1998 was
29%, which is below the 35% statutory rate due to benefits
resulting from tax-exempt interest, excludable dividend
income and low income housing tax credits (LIHTC).

Year 2000 Issue

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the 
applicable year.  Any of S&T's computer programs or hardware
that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may 
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000.  This could result in a system failure or 
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities.

Based on recent assessments, S&T determined that it will be
required to modify or replace some portions of hardware and
software so that those systems will properly utilize dates
beyond December 31, 1999.  S&T presently believes that with
modifications and replacement of existing hardware and 
software, the Year 2000 Issue can be mitigated.  However,
if such modifications and replacements are not made, or are
not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a 
material impact on the operations of S&T.

S&T's plan to resolve the Year 2000 Issue involves four
phases; assessment, remediation, testing and implementation.
In June 1997, S&T management formed a task force (Y2K Task
Force) to evaluate the process of preparing its computer
systems and applications for the Year 2000.  This process
involves modifying or replacing certain hardware and
software maintained by S&T, as well as communicating with
external service providers and customers to ensure that
they are taking the appropriate action to remedy the their
Year 2000 issues.  To date, the Y2K Task Force has completed
its assessment of the Year 2000 issue with internal systems
and third party vendors.  Assessment of the effect of the
Year 2000 issue on commercial business customers is still
being evaluated.

Significant to S&T's data processing abilities is the.
services provided by M&I Data Services (M&I) which provides
the majority of computer services for S&T customer accounts
and transactions.  M&I is also currently involved in a
similar Year 2000 assessment and remediation.  S&T has been
notified by M&I that the project is on target.  M&I expects
to be fully Year 2000 compliant in the fourth quarter of
1998.  If compliance assurance is not received from M&I at
that time, S&T will develop contingency plans.

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

All internal data processing systems are in the process of
being tested for Year 2000 compliance.  The testing also
includes validations of third party software/hardware 
vendors that have provided assurance or certifications of
compliance.  To date, 90% of the testing for critical 
systems has been completed and software/hardware replace-
ments have been scheduled where problems have been 
identified.  The testing and remediation of critical
internal systems is expected to be completed by December
31, 1998.

The effect of Year 2000 on the businesses of commercial
customers is unknown and is currently being evaluated as
part of this risk assessment process.  The assessment
identified 31 high-risk commercial customers as being
significant to S&T's future financial performance.  Each
of these significant business customers are being called
upon and interviewed to determine their respective
company's awareness and preparedness for the Year 2000
Issue.  Results of these interviews are reported to the
S&T Senior Loan Committee and credit administration so
that remedial action can be taken when appropriate.
Communications to all commercial customers via mail and
calling officers has been ongoing to ensure effective
planning to meet the Year 2000 compliance requirements.

Management and the Y2K Task Force expect to have
substantially all of the critical systems and application
changes completed and tested by the end of 1998 and believe
that its level of preparedness is appropriate.  S&T has
estimated the total cost of the project to be $0.3 million
and is not expected to materially impact future operations.
Purchased hardware and software will be capitalized in 
accordance with normal policy.  Personnel and all other
costs related to the project will be expensed as incurred.
The Y2K Task Force reports to the S&T Board of Directors
each quarter.
