                          FNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                                                                   
               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           JUNE 30, 1998
                            (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial information presented at and for the six
     months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 is unaudited.  
     Information presented at December 31, 1997, is condensed from
     audited year-end financial statements. However, this
     unaudited information reflects all adjustments, consisting
     solely of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
     the financial position, results of operations and cash
     flows for the interim period.

NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     the corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First
     National Bank of McConnellsburg.  All significant
     intercompany transactions and accounts have been
     eliminated.    

NOTE 3 - CASH FLOWS

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the corporation
     has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts
     included in the balance sheet captions "cash and due from
     banks" and "federal funds sold".  As permitted by Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 104, the corporation
     has elected to present the net increase or decrease in
     deposits in banks, loans and time deposits in the statement
     of cash flows.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     For financial reporting purposes the provision for loan
     losses charged to operating expense is based on management's
     judgement, whereas for federal income tax purposes, the
     amount allowable under present tax law is deducted. 
     Additionally, certain expenses are charged to operating
     expense in the period the liability is incurred for financial
     reporting purposes, whereas for federal income tax purposes,
     these expenses are deducted when paid.  As a result of these
     timing differences, deferred taxes were computed after
     reducing pre-tax accounting income for nontaxable municipal
     and loan income.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS

     The activity within the held to maturity and available for
     sale portfolios for the period January 1, 1998, through
     June 30, 1998, is summarized in Table #1 on page 13.  No
     sales were conducted from securities contained within the held
     to maturity portfolio.

     The amortized cost and estimated market values of investments
     by investment type and classification as available for sale or
     held to maturity along with each portfolio's gross unrealized
     gain or gross unrealized loss are contained in Table #2 on
     page 14.

     Management has purchased for the portfolio mortgage-backed
     securities.  The large portion of these securities have a
     variable rate coupon and all have scheduled principal
     payments.  During periods of rising interest rates, payments
     from variable rate mortgage-backed securities may accelerate
     as prepayments of underlying mortgages occur as home-owners
     refinance to a fixed rate while during periods of declining
     interest rates, prepayments on high fixed rate mortgage-backed
     securities may accelerate as home owners refinance to lower
     rate mortgages. These prepayments cause yields on mortgage-
     backed securities to fluctuate as larger payments of principal
     necessitate the acceleration of premium amortization or
     discount accretion.  Due to the low dollar amount of mortgage-
     backed securities in relation to the total portfolio,
     management feels that interest rate risk and prepayment risks
     associated with mortgage-backed securities will not have a
     material impact on the financial condition of the Bank.

     In regard to Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs), the
     Bank presently has none of these types of investments in its
     portfolio.

NOTE 6 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized as

CLASSIFICATION OF HELD TO MATURITY AND AVAILABLE FOR SALE
SECURITIES

Due to the implementation of FAS 115, management has segregated
securities as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Trading
securities.  At the implementation of FAS 115 on January 1, 1994,
management determined that no securities were Trading securities;
that tax-free municipal with maturity dates less than the year 2000
were classified as Held to maturity securities due to management's
intention to hold these securities for tax planning purposes; and
that all other securities were classified as Available for Sale
securities due to management's intention to hold these securities
for liquidity planning purposes.  Purchases of tax-free municipals
with maturities of 5 years or less made following implementation of
FAS 115 are classified as Held to Maturity securities with all
other purchase Available for Sale; however, management may decide
on a case-by-case basis that a security may be either classified as
Held to Maturity or Available for Sale depending upon the reasons
for purchase.  Held to Maturity classifications are typically used
for securities purchased specifically for interest rate management
or tax-planning purposes while Available for Sale classifications
are typically used for liquidity planning purposes.         



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

Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $325,280 compared
to $464,356 for the same period in 1997.  This represents a
decrease of $139,076 or 29.95%.  Net income on an adjusted per
share basis for the first six months of 1998 was $0.81 per share,
a decrease of $0.35 from the $1.16 per share for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.

This decrease of $139,076 in net income is a direct result of the
Board of Directors and management's decision to increase the
allowance for loan losses to approximately 1.25% of net loans by
year-end 1998.  During the first six months of 1998, the provision
to the allowance for loan losses has been $291,114, a $238,614
increase over the $52,500 provision for the first six months of
1997.  As can be seen, this increase in the provision directly
decreased net income for the first six months of 1998.

The decision to increase the allowance is based upon several
factors.  Of immediate concern is the observation that the current
long-run expanding economic cycle may be reaching its peak which
could result in the slowing down of our economy.  This observation
combined with the instability in the Asian Market, which currently
shows no signs of stabilization, has prompted management to be
proactive and increase the allowance before the "trickle down
effects" of a slowing economy and the Asian crisis affects
businesses in our local economy resulting in past due loans and
delinquency problems.  Another issue of concern to management is
the potential problems businesses could encounter regarding Year
2000 computer issues.  Although our organization has been very
proactive in addressing Year 2000 issues and have taken necessary
steps to assure no interruption in our banking operations will
occur from this century date change, management is concerned the
business community in general is not addressing this issue as
promptly as banking organizations have done.  As such, management
feels it wise to again be proactive and increase the allowance for
loan losses in anticipation of potential past due and delinquent
loans which could arise as a direct result of computer problems
associated with this century date change.

Total interest and dividend income for the first six months of 1998
was $3,777,365 compared to $3,637,495 for the six months ended June
30, 1997, representing an increase of $139,870.  This increase is
a result of an increase in the average balances of loans, federal
funds sold, and deposits with other banks.  Since June 30, 1997,
net loans have increased $3,529,623 or 6.24% and federal funds sold
have increased $5,232,000.  These increases during the first six
months of 1998 over the first six months in 1997 resulted in an
increase of loan interest income in the amount of $103,224 and in
federal funds sold income of $56,949. 

During the first half of 1998, interest rates have remained
relatively stable.   As a result of this stable interest rate
environment in which interest rates are not anticipated to increase
in the short term, several investment securities with call features
were called by the issuer resulting in the loss of higher interest
earning assets.  At the same time, management has decreased deposit
rates only slightly but not at the same pace as that of earning
assets.  The tax-adjusted net interest margin has decreased 22
basis points to 3.99% for the first six months of 1998 from that of
the first six months of 1997 which was 4.21%.  This decrease in net
interest margin occurred due to an increase in the reliance of
lower yielding federal funds sold and time deposits of other banks
to offset the increase in deposits of a short term nature.  The
average balance of federal funds sold increased $2,142,000 and the
average balance of time deposits other banks increased $879,000. 
As a result of this reliance, the tax equivalent yield on earning
assets decreased to 8.15% for the first six months of 1998 from
8.39% for the first six months of 1997.  The cost of interest
bearing liabilities has increased only slightly from the first six
months of 1997 to 4.82% from 4.80%.  This increase in cost of
interest-bearing liabilities and decrease in yield on earning
assets has resulted in a decrease in the net interest margin. 
Management anticipates to continue to concentrate on the
improvement of the net interest margin throughout the year and has
taken steps to improve it by decreasing rates on savings accounts
and Super NOW accounts.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was
$2,001,521, an increase of $122,661 over the $1,878,860 incurred
for the same period in 1997.  This increase in interest expense is
due to an increase in the average balance of time deposits in the
amount of $6,406,935 or 12.63%.  Total deposit volume increased
$11,476,289 or 13.06% since June 30, 1997.  This increase is the
result of a $5,752,074 or 11.02% increase in time certificates of
deposit due to movement of funds from lower yielding savings
accounts and other financial institutions.  Savings accounts
increased $3,931,220 or 14.67% due to increases in personal Super
NOW accounts of over $1,500,000 and business Money Market Accounts
of over $2,000,000.  Non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts
increased $1,771,379 or 21.06% from June 30, 1997.  The cost of
total interest bearing deposits for the first six months of 1997
was 4.82% compared to 4.80% for the same period in 1997.  This
increase in cost of deposits and increase in volume of interest
bearing deposits resulted in the $122,661 increase in interest
expense as discussed earlier.


Total noninterest income increased $146,565 over 1997 due to the
sale of securities which resulted in a $144,244 gain.  Total
operating expenses for the period ended June 30, 1997, were
$1,344,092, a $38,304 increase from the operating expenses incurred
for the same period in 1997 of $1,305,788.  This increase is due to
1) increases in employee wages and benefits of $24,834, a result of
an increase in wage rates and an increase in employee participation
in the Company's retirement plan and health insurance plans; and 2)
an increase in the cost of fixed assets in the amount of $14,413
due to increased utility bills, depreciation, insurance and taxes
as a result of the completed renovation/expansion of the Fort
Loudon office facility and additional equipment placed in service
during the past year.

The company's income tax provision for the first six months of 1998
was $143,750 as compared to $117,818 for the first six months of
1997.  This increase in the tax provision in the amount of $25,932
is due to an increase in income before applicable taxes and the
allowance for loan losses of $125,470.  As the tax deductible
allowance for the loan losses is based upon experience and net
charge-offs, the amount of the provision above the bank's
experience of net charge-offs is not deductible for federal tax
purposes.  The result of which is an increased federal tax
liability in relation to net income due to management's decision to
increase the allowance for loan losses.

Although the Company continues to operate with a marginal tax rate
of 34%, the effective income tax rate for the first six months of
1998 was 30.64%, an increase of 10.40% from the effective tax rate
for the first six months of 1997 of 20.24%.  This increase in the
effective tax rate is due to the nondeductibility of the provision
for loan losses in excess of current year's anticipated charge-offs
as discussed in the preceding paragraph.  

Total assets as of June 30, 1998, were $111,881,344 an increase of
$5,861,109 over the period ending December 31, 1997, representing
an increase of 5.53%.  Funding this increase in total assets was an
increase in total deposits of $6,086,263 or 6.53%.  The increase in
deposits was the result of increased balances in time deposits of
$1,638,718 and in savings account balances of $4,014,297.  Net
loans as of June 30, 1998, were $60,120,674 compared to $59,124,012
as of December 31, 1997.  The allowance for loan losses at the end
of the six months was $571,330 compared to $425,813 at year end
1997 and is considered adequate, in management's judgement, to
absorb possible losses on existing loans.  The provision for loan
losses for the first six months of 1998 was $291,114 compared to
$52,500 for the same period in 1997.  The significant increase in
the provision is due to management's decision to increase the
allowance for loan losses as discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Total deposits were $99,345,953 as of June 30, 1998, compared to
$93,259,690 on December 31, 1997.  This represents an increase of
$6,086,263 or 6.53% which reflects the activity as discussed
previously.

Total equity as of June 30, 1998, was $11,472,261, 10.25% of total
assets as compared to $11,389,749, 10.74% of total assets as of
December 31, 1997.  This increase in equity reflects the
reinvestment of earnings into the corporation.

The Corporation has risk-based capital ratios exceeding regulatory
requirements.  Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum
ratio of 8.0%.  At June 30, 1998, the risk-based capital ratio of
the Corporation was 18.14% while at December 31, 1997, the
risk-based capital ratio was 18.79%.  The following table presents
the
risk-based capital ratios for the Corporation:

Year 2000 Readiness Plan

During the past several months many newspaper and magazine articles
have been written concerning the YEAR 2000 and the potential effect
the change from the year 1999 to the year 2000 will have on
computer systems.  Due to the age of some computer programs,
computer software and computer chips, it is very possible that some
older computers, software and equipment containing computer chip
technology may not function properly when the year 2000 rolls
around and may indeed not function at all.  

The Bank has recognized this potential problem and had developed
and implemented in September 1997 a Year 2000 Management
team/policy to assure all of the corporation's computers, software
and equipment are compatible with the year 2000 in order to avoid
disruption to financial services provided by the corporation.  This
team is headed by Senior Management and the Data Processing
Department which reports findings and results to the CEO, the EDP
Committee, and ultimately to the Board of Directors.

Beginning in March 1997, management of The First National began
discussions with our Computer equipment providers and programmers
regarding the Year 2000 issue and how it would effect our
processing capabilities.  In September 1997, our EDP Committee,
comprised of four outside Directors, the Data Processing Manager,
Cashier and CFO, and the Board of Directors adopted a Year 2000
Action Plan/Policy which has been implemented.  This plan appointed
the CFO in charge of the Year 2000 project implementation as
supervisor of the Data Processing Department. 

In our plan/policy the Bank inventoried equipment, computers, and
software which needed to be verified for Year 2000 compliance.  We
also outlined our testing dates and strategies, vendors and
business customers whom we needed assured of Year 2000 compliance,
completion dates for all reprogramming and testing, a contingency
plan, and assurance any new equipment or computer software
purchased from that date forward was certified by the vendor to be
Year 2000 compatible.

In the Corporation's policy addressing the Year 2000, the
Corporation recognized the importance of assuring, to the best of
its ability, its major business customers and vendors on which it
relies for electricity, voice communication, data processing, all
equipment, data communication, supplies, and any other function
vital to the corporation's operation are aware of this issue and
have addressed it by having their computer equipment and software
analyzed and tested for compatibility with the Year 2000.  To
assess the status of each major business customer and vendor, the
corporation in November 1997 sent to each a  questionnaire/survey
regarding their Year 2000 implementation plans.  As each vendor and
business customer returns the survey, management is assessing the
capability of each and following up to assure, to the best of the
corporation's ability, each is compatible.

On Sunday, February 15 and Monday, February 16, 1998, data
processing personnel conducted an in-house test of all computer
equipment and programs, both our Main frame and LAN, in order to
determine if there were any areas of concern.  All equipment worked
fine after we allowed system dates on the main frame and the LAN
(Local Area Network) to roll-over from 12-31-1999 to 01-01-2000. 
After date roll-over we tested programs extensively performing
regular daily procedures as well as year-end close out procedures. 
There were some minor problems which resulted, many of which we
were aware before testing and had already discussed with our
programmers.  We had set June 30, 1998 as the dead-line for
necessary changes to be made by our programmers.  This schedule has
been met and we have scheduled retesting during the third quarter
of 1998.  Our internal final cut-off for compliance is December 31,
1998 in order to allow for any unforeseen problems to be addressed
in early 1999.

On May 28, 1998, system dates on the main frame were tested for
9/9/1999, 1/1/2000, 1/3/2000, 2/29/2000, and 3/01/2000.  These
tests were performed by having the system date rolled over to make
sure the system continued to operate.  There were no problems
encountered.  During retesting procedures of our main frame early
in the third quarter of 1998, management will be performing more
extensive testing of these dates.  Management anticipates no
problems with these dates. 

The Bank has completed certification testing with the MAC network
for ATM communications having had MAC successfully process our Year
2000 test files.  The Bank will be testing its electronic
communications with the Federal Reserve during the third and fourth
quarters of 1998.  Management will be scheduling times with the FRB
to test year 2000 compatibility of the following customer
applications with the Federal Reserve:

     a.  Wire transfers;
     b.  TT&L;
     c.  ACH; and
     d.  Electronic Check Presentment.

The initial budget management has set aside for the correction of
Year 2000 problems is $25,000.  To date approximately $3,500 has
been spent on personnel time, postage, and supplies to assses the
corporation's Year 2000 readiness and the corportion's customers
and vendors Year 2000 readiness.  The budget is updated by
management as necessary.

Management is in the process of assessing appropriate contingency
plans in the event of unforeseen Year 2000 problems.  Contingency
plans are anticipated to be finalized during the third and fourth
quarters of 1998.
