NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

1.  Statements of Operations

The statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31,
1998 and 1997 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all 
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a 
fair presentation of the results of operations for those periods.  The results
of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 1998 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for fiscal 1999.  
The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998 contains 
additional information and should be read in conjunction with this report.  

2.  Stock Split

On September 17, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a 5-for-4 stock split of
Parkvale's common stock.  The additional shares were paid on October 14, 1998
to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 1998.  This
increased the outstanding shares by 1,346,810.  No fractional shares were
issued.  All share amounts in this report have been restated to reflect this
stock split.

3.  Earnings Per Share

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("FAS 128"). 
FAS 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings
per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share
amounts for all periods have been presented to conform to FAS 128 requirements.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per share for the three and six months ended December 31:

				Three months ended        Six months ended
				 December 31,            December 31,

4.  Comprehensive Income

As of July 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted FAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, which establishes standards of reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components.  Sources of comprehensive income not included in 
net income are limited to unrealized gains and losses on certain investments
in equity securities.  Prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the requirements of FAS 130.  For the six months ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to $6,792 and $6,497,
respectively.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when in the judgement of management,
the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to
warrant further accrual.  All loans which are 90 or more days delinquent are
treated as nonaccrual loans.  The amount of interest income of nonaccrual 
loans that had not been recognized in interest income was $104 at December 31,
1998 and $181 at June 30, 1998.

Nonaccrual, substandard and doubtful commercial and other real estate loans
are normally considered to be impaired loans.  However, the Bank had no loans
classified as impaired at December 31, 1998.  Impaired assets include $2,196
of foreclosed real estate as of December 31, 1998, which is recorded at the
lower of acquisition costs or fair value.

(1)The applicable income and expense figures have been annualized in

Months Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

For the three months ended December 31, 1998, Parkvale reported net income
of $3.0 million or $0.46 per diluted share up 8.9% from net income of $2.7
million or $0.41 per diluted share for the comparable period in 1997.  The 
$243,000 increase in net income for the December 1998 quarter reflects 
increased net interest income of $189,000 and increased fee income of
$103,000, which are partially offset by an increase in other expense of 
$218,000.  In addition, the quarterly results include gains from security 
sales of $300,000 ($189,000 net of tax). Net interest income for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998 increased to $7.6 million from $7.4 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. 

Interest Income:

Parkvale had interest income of $19.8 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 versus $18.4 million during the comparable period in 1997.
This increase of $1.4 million is the result of a $130 million or 13.1% increase
in the average balance of interest-earning assets, offset by a 36 basis point
decrease in the average yield from 7.42% in 1997 to 7.06% in 1998.  Interest
income from loans increased $2.3 million or 15.8% resulting from an increase
in the average outstanding loan balances of  $167.3 million or 22.8%, offset
by a 46 basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.91% in 1997 to 7.45%
in 1998.  Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $348,000 or
35.2% from the 1997 quarter due to a decrease of $21 million or 35.4% in the
average balance.  Investment securities interest income decreased by $362,000
or 26.7% from the 1997 quarter due to a decrease of $14.3 million or 15.8% in
the average balance, along with a 78 basis point decrease in the average yield
from 5.98% in 1997 to 5.20% in 1998.  Interest income earned on federal funds
sold decreased $191,000 or 12.2% from the 1997 quarter due to a decrease in the
average balance of $3 million or 2.8% compounded by a 55 basis point decrease
in the average yield from 5.64% in 1997 to 5.09% in 1998.  At December 31,
1998, the weighted average yield on all interest-earning assets was 7.20%
compared to 7.51% at December 31, 1997.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased by $1.2 million or 10.9% from the 1997 quarter to
the 1998 quarter.  The increase was due to an increase in the average deposits
and borrowings of $122 million or 13.2%, offset by a 10 basis point decrease
in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings from 4.76% in 1997 to 4.66%
in 1998.  At December 31, 1998, the average rate payable on liabilities was
4.54% for deposits, 5.57% for borrowings and 4.60% for combined deposits and
borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses:

Parkvale's provision for loan losses decreased by $12,000 or 18.8% from the
1997 quarter to the 1998 quarter.  Total reserves were 1.35% and 1.55% of gross
loans at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998, respectively.  Total loan loss
reserves at December 31, 1998 were $13.2 million.

Nonperforming loans and real estate owned were $3.9 million, $4.7 million and
$3.6 million at  December 31, 1998, June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
representing 0.34%, 0.43% and 0.36% of total assets at the respective balance
sheet dates.  Foreclosed real estate at December 31, 1998 consists of
$1.5 million in commercial office buildings and $696,000 in single family real
estate.  The company is currently evaluating the merits of remodeling the
commercial office buildings prior to sale to maximize value upon sale. 
Alternatively, a loss on sale could occur if the properties were sold in an 
"as is" condition prior to any improvements.

Other Income:

Total other income increased by $403,000 or 63.5% from the 1997 quarter to the
1998 quarter due to the $300,000 gain from the sale of equity securities,
specifically Freddie Mac stock.  Absent this gain, other income increased
$103,000 or 16.2%, primarily due to ATM surcharges assessed to non-Parkvale
customers and increased service charges on all types of deposit and loan
products.  

Other Expense:

Total other expenses increased by $218,000 or 6.0% from quarter ended
December 1997 to the quarter ended December 1998.  The main component of
other expense, compensation and employee benefits, increased by $162,000, or
8.6% due to normal merit raises combined with an increase in the number of 
full-time and part-time employees to better serve Parkvale customers and all 
types of deposit and loan products.

Results of Operations-Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 1998 & 1997

For the six months ended December 31, 1998, Parkvale had net income of $6.0
million or $0.91 per diluted share versus $5.4 million or $0.82 per diluted 
share for the comparable period in 1997. The $548,000 increase in net income 
for the six months ended December 31, 1998 reflects increased net interest 
income of $413,000 and increased fee income of $238,000, these items were 
partially offset by increased operating expenses of $428,000.  Gains from 
security sales of $610,000 ($384,000 net of tax) are included in the 1998 
results.  Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 1998 
increased to $15.2 million from $14.8 million for the quarter ended December 
31, 1997. 

Interest Income:

Parkvale had interest income of $39.2 million during the six months ended 
December 31, 1998 versus $36.6 million during the comparable period in 1997.  
This increase of $2.6 million is attributable to an increase in the average 
interest-earning asset portfolio of $115.4 million or 11.8%, offset by a 31 
basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.47% in 1997 to 7.16% in 1998.
Interest income from loans increased $4.1 million or 14.4% due to an increase 
in the average loan balance of $149.0 million or 20.6%, offset by a 40 basis 
point decrease in the average yield from 7.94% in 1997 to 7.54% in 1998.  
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities declined by $701,000 or 34.2% 
from the first six months of the previous fiscal year. This was due to a 
decrease in the average portfolio of $21.0 million or 35.2%, offset by an 
11 basis point increase in the average yield from 6.89% to 7.00%.  Income 
from investments decreased by $882,000 or 32.7% from 1997 due to a decrease 
in the average investment balance of $19.3 million or 22.5% and by an 83 basis
point decrease in the average yield from 6.28% in 1997 to 5.45% in 1998.  
Interest income earned on federal funds sold increased $54,000 or 1.7% from 
the prior six months ended December 1997.  This was due to an increase of the 
average federal fund balance of $6.7 million or 6.0%, offset by a 22 basis 
point decrease in the average yield from 5.62% in 1997 to 5.40% in 1998.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased by $2.2 million or 10.1% from the 1997 six month 
period to the 1998 six month period.  The increase was due to a rise in average
deposits and borrowings of $109.6 million offset only slightly by an 8 basis 
point decrease in the average rate paid from 4.77% in 1997 to 4.69% in 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses:

Parkvale's provision for loan losses decreased by $42,000 or 26.8% from the 
1997 to the 1998 six month period.  Loan loss reserves were 1.14%, 1.21% and 
1.41% of total assets at December 31, 1998, June 30, 1998 and December 31, 
1997, respectively.  Such reserves are decreasing as a percentage of total 
assets due to the growth of the loan portfolio, principally in low risk single
family mortgage loans.

Other Income:

Other income increased by $848,000 or 69.8% for the six months ended 
December 31, 1998 from the six months ended December 31, 1997.  This was 
mainly due to a  $610,000 gain from the sale of equity securities, primarily
Freddie Mac stock.  Absent this gain, other income increased $238,000 or 19.6%,
due to ATM surcharges assessed to non-Parkvale customers and increased service
charges on all types of deposit and loan products.  


Other Expense:

Other expenses increased by $428,000 for the six month period ended December
31, 1998 from same period in 1997.  The main component of other expense, 
compensation and employee benefits, increased by $407,000, or 10.8% due to 
normal merit increases combined with an increase in the number of full-time 
and part-time employees to better serve Parkvale customers and all types of
deposit and loan products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Federal funds sold decreased $71.2 million or 57.0% from June 30, 1998 to
December 31, 1998 as a result of increased loan balances of $119.9 million 
mitigated somewhat by increased deposit balances of $49.0 million.  Investment
securities held to maturity increased $14.3 million or 14.4% from June 30, 1998
to December 31, 1998. Escrow for taxes and insurance decreased by $1.7 million
or 18.1% as a result of the remittance of property taxes to the various taxing
districts during the first quarter.

Shareholders' equity was $85.8 million or 7.4% of total assets at 
December 31, 1998.  The Bank is required to maintain Tier I (Core) capital
equal to at least 4% of the institution's adjusted total assets, and Tier II
(Supplementary) risk-based capital equal to at least 8% of the risk-weighted 
assets.  At December 31, 1998, Parkvale was in compliance with all applicable
regulatory requirements, with Tier I and Tier II ratios of 6.88% and 12.87%,
respectively.

Management is not aware of any trends, events, uncertainties or current 
recommendations by any regulatory authority that will have (if implemented),
or that are reasonably likely to have, material adverse effects on Parkvale's
liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Impact of Year 2000:

The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue primarily results from computer programs 
recognizing a two-digit date field rather than four digits to define the 
year.  Computer software or hardware that is date sensitive may recognize 
"00" as the year 1900 instead of the year 2000 which may cause system failure,
miscalculations and other temporary disruptions of operations. 

The Data Processing Committee has been assigned the task of managing Y2K 
compliance.  This committee, which includes the Senior Vice President-
Audit/Compliance, is chaired by the Vice President of Data Processing, 
who reports directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer.  This 
committee's main focus is to resolve any problems associated with the Y2K
issue in five phases: awareness, assessment, renovation, testing and 
implementation.  The plan developed by the Data Processing Committee is based 
upon recommended guidelines provided by the Bank's primary regulator.  The 
assessment stage entailed assessing the magnitude of the issues and 
identification of hardware, software, networks, automated teller machines, 
processing platforms and vendor dependencies along with budget allocations. 
The awareness and assessment stages have been completed.

During the renovation and testing phases, the Bank's primary data processing 
provider, DataOne Financial Systems, announced plans in July 1998 to 
discontinue business in mid 1999. Such service provider had represented to 
Parkvale that all appropriate programming changes would be completed and 
testing would be performed before the end of 1998.  However, given the pending
change of providers, the Bank did not participate in tests with the current 
primary service provider.  At the time of DataOne's announcement and as part 
of the original contingency plan, Parkvale was in the process of evaluating 
data processing alternatives, including proposals from major software vendors 
and service bureau providers.  Accordingly, During the December 1998 quarter, 
the Bank decided to bring the data processing function in house and has chosen
a software vendor to provide necessary application software.  This vendor is 
a leading full-service provider of integrated data processing and information 
management systems, and the systems chosen are fully Y2K compliant.  The 
initial capitalized costs associated with the conversion are expected to 
approximate $1.7 million, which are expected to be amortized or depreciated 
over a five to ten year period.  Operating expenses over the initial five 
year contract do not materially deviate from the current data processing 
annual expenses.  Employee training and conversion planning sessions are 
currently underway, and the conversion process is expected to be completed 
during the first half of calendar 1999. 
 
An ongoing assessment of business risk includes an assessment of other third 
party vendors' readiness for Y2K processing. Management has identified all 
third party vendors and communicated with vendors regarding the status of 
their Y2K compliance.  Management is coordinating with third party vendors to 
perform testing where appropriate.  If outside vendors are not Y2K compliant, 
alternative vendors will be contracted.  Additionally, this assessment includes
review of  the Federal Reserve Fedline System.  This system's hardware and 
software was tested during October through December 1998.  Additional testing
on minor systems is planned for the March 1999 quarter.

The Bank is monitoring loan and deposit customers for Y2K compliance.  
Commercial loan customers that are not Y2K compliant may represent a repayment 
risk.  The lending department has distributed information regarding Y2K 
compliance to commercial loan borrowers.  The Bank's initial assessment of 
commercial loan customers indicates an immaterial impact on Parkvale's 
statement of operations.  Continued evaluation of this portfolio's growth will
be performed by the Bank's management.

Parkvale's plan to complete Y2K compliance are based upon management's best 
estimates.  There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved 
and actual results could differ materially from these plans due to unforeseen 
circumstances.  In a worst case scenario, if difficulties are encountered 
during the system conversion process, employee compensation in the form of 
overtime pay and/or temporary employees may be necessary to address and 
resolve system related processing problems.  Such costs are not expected to 
exceed $100,000.  Considering that the complete conversion to Y2K compliant 
software is expected to occur more than six months in advance of January 1, 
2000, the Bank will focus on contingency planning during the conversion process
and throughout 1999 to ensure uninterrupted customer service. 
  
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices:

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money 
over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies, substantially 
all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in 
nature.  As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a 
financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of 
inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in
the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services as measured by the 
consumer price index.

Forward Looking Statements:

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes statements that may constitute 
forward looking statements, usually containing the words "believe," "estimate,"
"project," "expect," "intend" or similar expressions.  These statements are 
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-Looking statements inherently involve 
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could 
cause future results to vary from current expectations include, but are not 
limited to, the following: changes in economic conditions (both generally and
more specifically in the markets in which Parkvale operates); changes in 
interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values and competition;
changes in accounting principles, government legislation and regulation; and 
other risks detailed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in other 
Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  readers are cautioned not to 
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect 
management's analysis only as of the date hereof.  Parkvale undertakes no 
obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect 
events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
