NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Statements of Operations
- ----------------------------------
The statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 
1999 and 1998 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all
adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair 
presentation of the results of operations for those periods.  The results 
of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999 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 nine months ended March 31:

4.  Comprehensive Income
- ---------------------------------
As of July 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted FAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive 
Income, which establishes standards for 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 nine months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, total comprehensive income amounted to $9.3 and $8.7 million, 
respectively.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when in the judgment 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 on nonaccrual 
loans that had not been recognized in interest income was $120 for the nine 
months ended March 31, 1999 and $181 for the year ended 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 March 31, 1999.  Impaired assets include $2,032 of 
foreclosed real estate as of March 31, 1999 which is recorded at the lower of 
acquisition costs or fair value.

Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 
  and 1998

For the three months ended March 31, 1999, Parkvale reported net income of 
$3.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share up 6.9% (or 10.5% on a per share 
basis) from net income of $2.8 million or $0.43 per diluted share for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The $193,000 increase in net income for the 
March 1999 quarter primarily reflects an 8.0% increase in net interest 
income of $597,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, net interest 
income increased to $8.1 million from $7.5 million for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1998. The fiscal 1999 quarterly results do not include any unusual 
items or gains from the sale of assets, which occurred in fiscal 1998.

Interest Income:

Parkvale had interest income of $20.1 million during the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 versus $18.5 million during the comparable period in 1998. 
This increase of $1.5 million is the direct result of a $115.7 million or 
11.4% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, offset by a 
20 basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.28% in 1998 to 7.08% in 
1999. Interest income from loans increased $3.0 million or 20.4% resulting 
from the $207.0 million or 27.5% increase in the average outstanding loan 
balances, mitigated by a 43 basis point decrease in the average yield from 
7.83% in 1998 to 7.40% in 1999. Consistent with Parkvale s ongoing practice 
of supplementing our loan originations, when necessary, with purchases of 
adjustable rate mortgage loans (after subjecting such credits to our normal 
underwriting standards), the average loan increase includes loan purchases 
of $52.6 million during the quarter and fiscal year to date purchases of 
$208.0 million. 

Conversely, interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the 1999 
quarter decreased $355,000 or 38.5% from the 1998 quarter due to a decrease 
of $20.8 million or 38.7% in the average balance, offset only slightly by a 
three basis point increase in the average yield from 6.85% in 1998 to 6.88% 
in 1999. Investment securities interest income decreased by $315,000 or 29.4% 
from the 1998 quarter due to a decrease of $23.5 million or 29.4% in the 
average balance with only a one basis point increase in the average yield 
from 5.37% in 1998 to 5.38% in 1999. Interest income earned on federal funds 
sold decreased $800,000 or 44.2% from the 1998 quarter due to a decrease in 
the average balance of $46.9 million or 35.6%, compounded by a 73 basis point 
decrease in the average yield from 5.49% in 1998 to 4.76% in 1999. At March 
31, 1999, the weighted average yield on all interest earning assets was 7.12% 
compared to 7.20% at December 31, 1998 and 7.43% at March 31, 1998.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased by $941,000 or 8.5% from the 1998 to the 1999 
quarter. The increase was due to an overall rise in the average deposits 
and borrowings of $119 million or 12.6% offset by a 17 basis point decrease 
in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings from 4.68% in 1998 to 
4.51% in 1999. At March 31, 1999, the average rate payable on liabilities 
was 4.39% for deposits, 5.56% for borrowings and 4.46% for combined deposits 
and borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses:

Parkvale's provision for loan losses decreased by $7,000 or 13.7% from the 
1998 quarter to the 1999 quarter. Total reserves were 1.31% and 1.55% of 
gross loans at March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. Non-performing 
loans and foreclosed real estate were $3.8 million, $4.7 million and $5.5 
million at March 31, 1999, June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998, representing 
0.32%, 0.43% and 0.52% of total assets at the respective balance sheet dates. 
Total loan loss reserves at March 31, 1999 were $13.2 million, and nonaccrual 
loans were $1.8 million, which represents 0.15% of total assets at that date.  

Other Income:

Total other income decreased by $1.9 million in 1999 due to the prior year 
gain of $2.0 million on the sale Freddie Mac common stock from the investment 
securities available for sale portfolio. Absent this gain, other income 
increased $105,000 or 16.25%, 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 decreased by $1.7 million from 1998 due to the prior year 
charge of $2.0 million to settle a contractual dispute regarding Parkvale's 
former headquarters. Excluding the unusual charge, other expenses would have 
increased $332,000 or 9.1% due mainly to the $255,000 or 13.0% increase in 
compensation and employee benefits. This increase is the result of normal 
merit pay increases combined with additional full-time and part- time employees
to better serve Parkvale customers.
 
Results of Operations - Comparison of Nine Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998

Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 was $9.0 million or $1.38 
per diluted share compared to $8.2 million or $1.25 per diluted share for the 
nine months ended March 31, 1998. The $741,000 (or 9.0%) growth in net income 
was derived from normal operations and reflects an increase of $1.0 million 
in net interest income due mainly to an overall rise in loan volumes and lower 
deposit costs throughout the period. Net interest income was $23.3 million for 
the nine months ended March 31, 1999, up from $22.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998.

Interest Income:

Parkvale had interest income of $59.3 million during the nine months ended 
March 31, 1999 and $55.2 million during the comparable period in 1998. This 
$4.2 million or 7.5% increase is attributable to an increase in the average 
interest-earning asset portfolio of $115.5 million or 11.6% offset by a 27 
basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.40% in 1998 to 7.13% in 1999. 
Interest income from loans increased $7.2 million or 16.5% due to an increase 
in the average loan balance of $168.3 million or 23.0%, offset somewhat by a 
41 basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.90% in 1998 to 7.49% in 
1999. Consistent with Parkvale's ongoing practice of supplementing our loan 
originations, when necessary, with purchases of adjustable rate mortgage loans 
(after subjecting such credits to our normal underwriting standards), the 
average loan increase includes loan purchases of $208.0 million during the 
fiscal year to date.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities declined by $1.1 million or 35.5%
due to a decrease in the average portfolio of $20.9 million or 36.3%. Income 
from investments decreased by $1.2 million or 31.8% from 1998 due to a $20.7 
million or 24.7% decrease in the average balance, compounded by a 56 basis 
point decrease in the average yield from 5.99% in 1998 to 5.43% in 1999. 
Federal funds sold income decreased by $746,000 or 15.0%. The average federal 
funds sold balance decreased by $11.2 million or 9.4% along with a 34 basis 
point decrease in the average yield from 5.57% in 1998 to 5.23% in 1999.  

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased by $3.1 million from the 1998 nine month period to 
the 1999 nine month period due to a $112.8 million or 12.2% increase in the 
balance of average deposits and borrowings. This increase was mitigated 
somewhat by an 11 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits 
and borrowings from 4.74% in 1998 to 4.63% in 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses:

Parkvale's provision for loan losses decreased by $49,000 or 23.6% from the 
1998 to the 1999 period.  Loan loss reserves were 1.11%, 1.21% and 1.36% of 
total assets at March 31, 1999, June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively.

Other Income:

Other income decreased $1.1 million primarily due the prior year gain of 
$2.0 million on the sale of Freddie Mac common stock from the investment 
securities available for sale portfolio. Absent this gain, other income 
increased $953,000 or 51.21%, primarily 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 decreased by $1.2 million for the nine month period ending 
March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 due to the prior year 
charge of $2.0 million to settle a contractual dispute regarding Parkvale's 
former headquarters.  Excluding the unusual charge, other expenses would have 
increased by $759,000 or 7.0% due mainly to the $662,000 or 11.5% increase in 
compensation and employee benefits.  This increase is the result of normal 
merit pay increases combined with additional full-time and part-time employees 
to better serve Parkvale customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Federal funds sold decreased $30.5 million or 24.4% from June 30, 1998 to 
March 31, 1999 as a result of increased loan balances of $150.6 million 
slightly offset by increased deposit balances of $73.0 million. Investment 
securities held to maturity decreased by $35.0 million or 35.3% from June 30, 
1998 to March 31, 1999. Escrow for taxes and insurance decreased by $1.8 
million or 18.8% as a result of the remittance of property taxes to the 
various taxing districts during the fiscal year.

Shareholders' equity was $84.7 million or 7.1% of total assets at March 31, 
1999.  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 March 31, 1999, Parkvale was in compliance with all applicable 
regulatory requirements, with Tier I and Tier II ratios of 6.74% and 12.99%, 
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 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, 
miscalculation and other temporary disruptions of operation.

Parkvale has assigned a Data Processing Committee 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 allocation. The awareness and assessment 
stages have been completed. During the renovation and testing phases, the 
Bank's primary data processing provider announced plans to discontinue 
business by mid-1999. 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. The Bank 
ultimately decided to bring the data processing function in house and selected 
a full-service provider of integrated data processing and information manage-
ment systems to provide the necessary application software, which is fully Y2K 
compliant. Employee training and conversion planning sessions are currently 
underway, and the conversion process is expected to be completed by the end of 
July 1999.  

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.  

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 the 
Y2K compliance. Management is coordinating with third party vendors to perform 
testing where appropriate. If outside vendors are not Y2K compliant, alter-
native vendors will be contracted. Additionally, this assessment includes 
review of the Federal Reserve Fedline System. This system's hardware and 
software were tested during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Additional 
Fedline testing and testing on minor systems is currently taking place.

The Bank is also 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 and continues to distribute this 
information to new 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 plans 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 approximately five 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. 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.
