           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       September 30, 1995




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 three month period
ended  September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative  of  the
results  that may be expected for the year ended June  30,  1996.
For  further  information,  refer to the  consolidated  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995.

Cash  Flow Information:  For purposes of the statements  of  cash
flows,  cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks.
During  the three months ended September 30, 1995 and  1994,  the
Association exchanged loans for mortgage-backed securities in the
amounts of $26.3 million and  $14.0 million respectively.  During
the   three  months  ended  September  30,  1995  and  1994,  the
Association  transferred unpaid loan balances from  loans  to
real  estate due to foreclosures of $1.6 million and $1.1 million
respectively.  Upon implementation of FASB 114, $200,000 of loans
classified as in-substance foreclosers were reclassified to loans
during the period ended September 30, 1995.

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications have been  made  to
the fiscal 1995 consolidated financial statements to conform with
the fiscal 1996 presentation.


Note B -- Earnings Per Share Data


Net  income  per share is computed based on the weighted  average
number  of  common shares outstanding and dilutive  common  stock
equivalents,  adjusted for stock dividends.  Cash dividends  paid
per share are based on the number of common shares outstanding at
each declaration date, adjusted for stock dividends.   On October
20,  1995,  the  Corporation declared a  10%  stock  dividend  to
shareholders of record on November 3, 1995, payable November  15,
1995.






Note C -- Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights


In May 1995 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 (SFAS  122).
"Accounting  for Mortgage Servicing Rights an amendment  of  FASB
Statement  No.  65."  This statement requires a mortgage  banking
enterprise  to capitalize retained mortgage servicing  rights  on
loans  sold  or securitized by allocating the total cost  of  the
mortgage  loans  between the mortgage servicing  rights  and  the
loans  (without  the servicing rights) based on their  respective
fair values.  The new statement also specifies new procedures for
assessing  impairment of capitalized mortgage  servicing  rights,
whenever  capitalized,  and requires  that  impairment  shall  be
recognized through a valuation allowance for individual portfolio
stratifications based on the fair value of those rights.

The  Corporation adopted SFAS 122 effective July  1,  1995  which
resulted in an increase in mortgage banking income of $300,000 in
the  first  quarter.  In accordance with SFAS 122,  prior  period
financial  statements  have not been restated.   The  total  book
value  of  the capitalized mortgage servicing rights at September
30,  1995  was  $1.0 million and the aggregate fair market  value
totaled  $1.1  million.  A valuation model  that  calculates  the
present  value  of  future cash flows was used to  estimate  fair
value.   In using this valuation method, the Company incorporated
assumptions  that  market participants would  use  in  estimating
future net servicing income, which included estimates of the cost
of  servicing  per  loan,  the discount  rate,  float  value  and
prepayment speeds.

For   purposes  of  measuring  impairment,  the  following   risk
characteristics  were  used to stratify the  post  implementation
originated  mortgage  servicing rights:  product  type,  term  of
loan,  and interest rates.  Based on these measurement factors  a
valuation allowance was not required at September 30, 1995.


Note D -- Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan


In  May  1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 114, "Accounting  by
Creditors  for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by Statement  No.
118,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -  Income
Recognition  and Disclosures."  As a result of applying  the  new
rules,  certain  loans which are deemed to be  impaired  will  be
reported at the present value of expected future cash flows using
the  loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient,
at  the  loans observable market price or the fair value  of  the
collateral  if the loan is collateral dependent.  The Corporation
adopted these statements July 1, 1995.

At  September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are
considered  to be impaired under Statement 114 was  $1.6  million
(which  were  on a nonaccrual basis).  The related allowance  for
credit  losses was $292,000.  The average recorded investment  in
impaired  loans  for  the  period ended September  30,  1995  was
approximately  $1.6 million.  During this period the  Corporation
did not recognize interest income on loans considered impaired.




                                
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
                      YORK FINANCIAL CORP.

General

      York Financial Corp. ("York Financial" or "Corporation") is
a  unitary  savings and loan holding company with it's  principal
offices located in York, Pennsylvania.  York Federal Savings  and
Loan  Association ("York Federal" or "Association"), a  federally
chartered  savings and loan association, is the primary operating
unit of the Corporation.

      The  Corporation's net income is highly  dependent  on  the
interest rate spread between the average rate earned on loans and
securities  and the average rate paid on deposits and  borrowings
as  well  as  the amount of the respective assets and liabilities
outstanding.   Other   operating  income  is  a   supplement   to
interest   income   and  is  primarily the  result  of  effective
mortgage banking activities including gains (losses) on sales  of
loans   and   mortgage-backed  securities   created   from   loan
originations  and the resulting service fee income  derived  from
the  portfolio  of  loans serviced for others.   Other  operating
income  also includes fees and service charges assessed  on  loan
and deposit transactions.

Asset/Liability Management

           In  an  effort to maintain control over  net  interest
income,  management  of  York Federal focuses  its  attention  on
managing  the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities
and  controlling the volume of lending, investment and  borrowing
activity.  By managing the ratio of interest sensitive assets  to
interest sensitive liabilities repricing in the same periods, the
Corporation  seeks  to minimize the negative effect  of  interest
rate fluctuations.

      The  asset  sensitivity gap at the  one  year  time  period
decreased  $23.1 million in the three months ended September  30,
1995  to $81.2 million.  This decrease was primarily attributable
to  retention of fixed rate loans and mortgage backed  securities
funded  by a decrease in liquid assets and a changing composition
within  the  liability portfolio including growth in  short  term
borrowings and variable rate deposit products.

      The  Corporation also monitors its interest  rate  risk  in
accordance  with  regulatory  direction.  Fluctuations   in   net
interest  income  and  the market value of portfolio  equity  are
determined  in  various  interest rate  scenarios  and  monitored
against  acceptable  limitations established  by  management  and
approved  by  the  Board  of Directors.  Interest  rate  risk  as
indicated  through  balance sheet  simulations at  September  30,
1995  is   considered  to   be  within  acceptable  limits.   The
management of York Federal  is committed  to managing  the  asset
portfolio in order to maximize the yield and maintain an interest
rate  sensitivity of York Federal's earning assets that insulates
it   from   the  potential  negative  effect  of  interest   rate
fluctuations.

Asset Quality

           Management is aware of the risks inherent  in  lending
and   continually  monitors  risk  characteristics  of  the  loan
portfolio.  The Association's policy is to maintain the allowance
for  loan  losses at a level believed adequate by  management  to
absorb  potential loan losses within the portfolio.  Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is performed by an
internal   loan   review  committee  and   is   based   on   risk
characteristics  of loans, past loss experience,  loan  portfolio
growth  trends, economic conditions and such other  factors  that
deserve  recognition.  Additions to the allowance are charged  to
operations.

An  analysis  of the allowance for loan losses, for  the  periods
indicated is as follows:

      The  allowance for loan losses totaled $6.3 million or .70%
of  adjusted total loans of $894.8 million at September 30, 1995.
Such  amount  is  considered adequate  relative  to  management's
assessment    of risk   characteristics  inherent  in   the  loan
portfolio.     While   management  uses available information  to
recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance  may
be  necessary based on specific circumstances related to  problem
loans as well as changes in economic conditions.

indicated is summarized as follows:

      Management  recognizes the risk of potential diminution  of
value of real estate owned during the holding period and provides
for  such risk by maintaining a general allowance for real estate
losses  (such  reserve is separate from and in  addition  to  the
allowance for loan losses).  Management continually monitors  the
risk profile of real estate owned and maintains an allowance  for
real  estate  losses  at  a level  believed  adequate  to  absorb
potential losses within  the real  estate  portfolio.  For the 
first three months  of   fiscal 1996,  additions to the allowance
in the amount of $100,000 which was  offset by charge offs net of
recoveries to the allowance of $11,000 resulted in an increase in
the allowance for Real Estate Owned losses of $89,000 to $719,000
at September 30, 1995.


Results of Operations

Three  months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to September  30,
1994

Net Interest Income

      York Financial's earnings are significantly affected by the
level  of  York  Federal's net interest  income,  the  difference
between  the income it receives on its loan portfolio  and  other
investments  and  its  cost of money,  consisting  primarily   of
interest  paid  on deposits and borrowings.  Net interest  income
is  affected by the average yield on interest-earning asset,  the
average  rate on interest-bearing liabilities, and the  ratio  of
interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities.

            Net  interest  income  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1995 was $8.5 million compared to $7.8 million  for
the  same period last year.  The increase in net interest  income
was  attributable to an increase in average earning assets  which
offset the impact of a decrease in the interest rate spread  from
period   to  period.   The  margin  on  interest-earning   assets
decreased  to  3.57%  from  3.85%  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The impact of  rising
loan  and  investment rates resulted in a 60 basis point increase
to  the average yield on interest earning assets to 8.24% for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 7.64% in the
same  period in the prior year.  The increasing cost of  deposits
and other borrowings during the first three months of fiscal 1996
caused  the  average  rate  on interest  bearing  liabilities  to
increase  to  4.96% as compared to 3.96% in the same period  last
year.   The  net effect caused the interest rate spread  for  the
current  period  to  decrease to  3.28% from 3.69%  in  the  same
period last year.


Provision for Loan Losses

      Management  is aware of the risks inherent in  lending  and
continually monitors risk characteristics of the loan  portfolio.
See "Asset Quality".


Other Income

      Other  income was $1.3 million for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1995, a decrease of 6.5% from  the  three  months
ended  September  30,  1994. On July  1,  1995,  the  Corporation
implemented  SFAS  122  (see note C), resulting  in  a  favorable
impact  to earnings. Mortgage banking income for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995 increased $110,000 to $689,000 or 19.0%
as  compared to the same period in 1994 and includes the adoption
of  SFAS 122, gains on sales of loans and trading securities  and
income from servicing fees.  The portfolio of loans serviced  for
others  totaled $578.0 million at September 30, 1995 as  compared
to  $  563.4  million at September 30, 1994.  The servicing  rate
earned  on  the  portfolio of loans serviced for others  for  the
three  months  ended September 30, 1995 decreased to  .269%  from
 .280%  in the same period in 1994.  Fees and service charges  for
the  three  months ended September 30, 1995 remained constant  as
compared to the same period in 1994.  Other operating income  was
$300,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1996 as compared  to
$342,000  in  the first three months of fiscal 1995. This  amount
represents  income  from  operations of  subsidiaries,  including
commissions earned from discount brokerage activities,  appraisal
and  construction  inspection services  provided  to  independent
third parties and equity in earnings of joint ventures.

Other Expenses

      Other  expenses of $5.6 million increased $403,000 or  7.8%
for  the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
same  period  in 1994.  Salaries and employee benefits  increased
$117,000  or  4.4%  over  the same period  in  1994  representing
primarily   merit  increases.  Real  estate  expenses   increased
$156,000 over September 30, 1994 and is primarily attributable to
an increase in the provision for possible real estate losses (see
asset  quality), increased carrying costs of $56,000  related  to
maintaining the portfolio of properties and settlement and  legal
fees  related to disposition of properties.  Data processing cost
increased  $60,000 or 32.6% and are primarily attributed  to  the
installation of a teller automation system and increased cost  of
services.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes of $1.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 represents an effective tax  rate
of 40.1% as compared to 38.8% for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Under  current  regulations, York Federal  is  required  to
maintain  liquid  assets at 5.0% or more of its net  withdrawable
deposits plus short-term borrowings.  Throughout the three months
ended  September 30, 1995 and fiscal year ended  June  30,  1995,
York  Federal maintained an average liquidity level which was  in
compliance  with the regulatory requirements.  At  September  30,
1995, the Association's liquidity level was 5.09%.

      Thrifts  must comply with three separate capital standards.
The  following  table  sets forth the  capital  position  of  the
Association as of September 30, 1995:

</TABLE>
                                                         


      At  September 30, 1995, York Federal is considered  a  well
capitalized  association  for capital distribution  purposes  and
therefore,  its capital distributions may be made up to  100%  of
its  net  income to date during the calendar year plus an  amount
that  would reduce its surplus capital ratio at the beginning  of
the  calendar year by one-half. At September 30, 1995, the  total
allowable  capital distribution was $20.0 million.   Transactions
with  affiliates  are limited to 10% of capital and  surplus  per
affiliate  with an aggregate limit on all such transactions  with
affiliates to 20% of capital and surplus. At September 30,  1995,
such transactions are within these regulatory limits.

      York  Federal  is insured by the FDIC through  the  Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF) and pays annual insurance fees
of 23 basis points on insured deposits, the lowest rate currently
permitted.  The FDIC insures commercial banks and certain savings
banks  through  the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),  which  recently
lowered  their  insurance rates to 4 basis points  as  commercial
banks have reached the required capitalization level of $1.25 for
each  $100  in  deposits.   This BIF and SAIF  insurance  premium
disparity  places  SAIF  insured institutions  at  a  significant
competitive disadvantage since the average SAIF premium currently
remains at 24 basis points.

      Proposed legislation to accelerate the recapitalization  of
the SAIF by assessing a one time charge of approximately 85 basis
points  is  under  consideration.   If  enacted,  this  one  time
assessment  could result in a pre-tax charge to the Association's
earnings  of  approximately $6.9 million.  Such charge  will  not
impact  York  Federal's status as a well-capitalized  institution
qualifying  for  the  lowest SAIF insurance premium.   Management
expects  that  the  existing annual  SAIF  premium  paid  by  the
Association will be lowered from 23 basis points to as low  as  4
basis  points  as  a result of the proposed one  time  assessment
resulting in a favorable impact to earnings in future years.   It
cannot  be  determined  at this time what the  outcome  of  these
events and proposals will be.

      York  Federal's primary sources of funds to support lending
and  other  general  business  activities  are  operations,  loan
repayments  including monthly amortization and  prepayments,  the
sale of loans and mortgage-backed securities, deposits, short and
long-term  advances from FHLB of Pittsburgh and  Federal  Reserve
Bank  of  Philadelphia and other short-term borrowings.  Deposits
increased  $74.0 million or 9.5% over prior year-end levels.   In
addition,  at September 30, 1995, York Federal has FHLB  advances
outstanding in the amount of $75.3 million at a weighted  average
interest  rate of  5.78 %.  In accordance with the stated  credit
policy  of  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh, additional  borrowings  of
approximately  $28.2 million are available  to  York  Federal  at
September  30,  1995.   However, York Federal  may  increase  its
borrowings   over  amounts  currently  available  by   purchasing
additional FHLB stock.

     Amortization and prepayments of loans and proceeds from loan
sales   within   the  Association's  mortgage  banking   activity
represent  a substantial source of funds to York Federal.   These
sources  amounted  to $72.2 million for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1995.

      The  principal use of York Federal funds is the origination
of  mortgage  and  other loans.  Loan demand  resulted  in  total
originations of $130.7 million for the period ended September 30,
1995  compared to $88.7 million for the same period in 1994.  The
$40.9 million increase in loan originations over the prior fiscal
year   is  due  to  an  increase  in  expanded  mortgage   broker
relationships  which  were favorably  impacted  by  a  loan  rate
environment in the first three months of fiscal 1996.
