PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS INTRODUCTION
Parkvale Financial Corporation ("PFC") is a unitary savings and loan holding
company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Its
subsidiary, Parkvale Savings Bank ("Parkvale" or "the Bank"), is a Pennsylvania
chartered permanent reserve fund stock savings bank headquartered in
Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Parkvale is also involved in lending in the greater
Washington, D.C.; Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio areas through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Parkvale Mortgage Corporation ("PMC"). The primary assets of PFC
consist of the stock of Parkvale, equity securities and cash. See Note N of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2001 Annual Report to
Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 hereto ("2001 Annual Report") for additional
details regarding PFC.
THE BANK
GENERAL
The Bank conducts business in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area through
33 full-service offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington and
Westmoreland Counties. With total assets of $1.4 billion at June 30, 2001,
Parkvale was the fifth largest financial institution headquartered in the
Pittsburgh metropolitan area and eleventh largest financial institution with a
significant presence in Western Pennsylvania.
The primary business of Parkvale consists of attracting deposits from the
general public in the communities that it serves and investing such deposits,
together with other funds, in residential real estate loans, mortgage-backed
securities, consumer loans, commercial loans, and investment securities.
Parkvale focuses on providing a wide range of consumer and commercial services
to individuals, partnerships and corporations in the greater Pittsburgh
metropolitan area, which comprises its primary market area. In addition to the
loans described above, these services include various types of deposit and
checking accounts, including commercial checking accounts and automated teller
machines ("ATMs") as part of the Money Access Center ("MAC") System.
Parkvale derives its income primarily from interest charged on loans and
interest on investments, and, to a lesser extent, service charges and fees.
Parkvale's principal expenses are interest on deposits and borrowings and
operating expenses. Funds for lending activities are provided principally by
deposits, loan repayments, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and other
borrowings, and earnings provided by operations.
Lower housing demand in Parkvale's primary lending areas, relative to its
deposit growth, has spurred the Bank to purchase residential mortgage loans from
other financial institutions. This purchase strategy also achieves geographic
asset diversification. Parkvale purchases adjustable rate residential mortgage
loans subject to its normal underwriting standards. Parkvale purchased loans
aggregating $202.2 million and $85.5 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. These represent 66.8% and 47.9% of total mortgage loan
originations and purchases for the fiscal year 2001 and 2000, respectively. In
addition,

Parkvale operates loan production offices through its subsidiary, PMC with
offices in Fairfax, Virginia; Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. During fiscal 2001,
PMC originated a total of $50.2 million or 16.6% of total mortgage loan
originations and purchases for inclusion in Parkvale's loan portfolio. See
"Lending Activities" and "Sources of Funds."
Total nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real
estate, increased from $3.8 million at June 30, 2000 to $5.4 million at June 30,
2001. The $1.6 million increase in fiscal 2001 related primarily to foreclosed
real estate activity. See "Lending Activities- Nonperforming Loans and
Foreclosed Real Estate".
The exposure from interest rate risk ("IRR") is the impact on Parkvale's current
and future earnings and capital from movements in interest rates. To properly
manage its historically liability sensitive position and mitigate the financial
impact of IRR, Parkvale's management has implemented an asset and liability
management plan to increase the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and
extend the average maturity of its liabilities. As part of this program,
Parkvale has, among other things (1) promoted the origination and purchase of
adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans, (2) maintained a high level of
liquidity, (3) deployed excess liquidity, (4) emphasized the origination of
short-term and/or variable rate consumer loans and (5) attempted to extend the
average maturity of its deposits through the promotion of certificate accounts
with terms of one year or more. For additional discussion of asset and liability
management, see the Asset and Liability Management section of "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
2001 Annual Report.
Interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides one indicator of potential IRR
by comparing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing
or repricing at similar intervals. More recently from a gap perspective, the
excess of interest-bearing liabilities over interest-earning assets which
reprice or mature in one year or less was 3.47% of total assets at June 30, 2001
compared to -2.76% of total assets at June 30, 2000. The cumulative five year
gap ratio was 2.96% at June 30, 2000 and 6.17% at June 30, 2001. Key components
of the asset and liability management program are as follows: ARM loans
represented approximately 72.3% of the Bank's real estate loan portfolio at June
30, 2001 compared to 69.3% and 69.7% at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Deposits with terms in excess of one year or more increased $58.6 million from
$673.5 million at June 30, 2000 to $732.1 million at June 30, 2001.
Parkvale was originally chartered in 1943 as Park Savings and Loan Association
and was renamed as a result of its merger with Millvale Savings and Loan
Association in 1968. Parkvale converted to a state chartered savings bank in
1993. Such charter conversion resulted in the replacement of the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking ("Department") as the Bank's primary
regulators. As a Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank, deposits continue to be
insured by the FDIC and Parkvale retains its membership in the FHLB of
Pittsburgh. The savings bank continues to conduct business in a manner
substantially identical to the conduct of its business as a savings association.
The OTS retains jurisdiction over Parkvale Financial Corporation due to its
status as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Parkvale is further
subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve Board") governing reserves to be maintained against deposits
and certain other matters.

Parkvale's main office is located at 4220 William Penn Highway, Monroeville, PA
15146, and its telephone number is (412) 373-7200.
THE BANKING INDUSTRY
The earnings of Parkvale are affected by the competitive, economic and
regulatory environment in which the savings industry operates. Consolidation, a
fundamental trend in the financial services industry, confronts the banking
industry with the challenge to survive and prosper in a dynamic market. Strong
alliances are likely as banks move to trim costs, expand geographically and
consolidate market strengths by diversifying the financial products offered.
The industry continues its consolidation efforts with an operating focus on
improving profitability, reallocation of capital and expense management. The
traditional banks' share of the overall loan market has been reduced
significantly. Corporate lending has abated since public companies found raising
funds on Wall Street is faster and cheaper via commercial paper and medium term
notes. At the same time, retail customers are increasingly abandoning
traditional commercial and local banks in favor of nonbank financial
institutions. Instead of buying a CD or opening a passbook savings account,
consumers increasingly place their savings and retirement funds with investment
management firms. Mutual fund total assets have increased substantially
throughout the 1990's to exceed total FDIC insured deposits. Banks in today's
market are faced with substantial competition from an array of outside financial
service providers, including brokerage firms, insurance companies and mutual
fund companies. These nonbanking entities continue to take lending and deposit
market share away from the banking industry without the regulatory burdens, FDIC
insurance premiums, assessments and other associated costs imposed upon banks
and savings institutions.
The challenge is the delivery of financial products at competitive prices. This
translates to the spreading of costs of services over a greater number of
customers and has spurred banks to adopt technological skills so that customers
will ultimately do all their banking without ever having to walk into a branch,
consequently, reducing operating costs.
Parkvale does not foresee the dissolution of the community banking sector.
Parkvale expects a tiering of institutions with several large national and
regional firms on the one hand and a sizeable number of community institutions
and niche players on the other.
Parkvale's economic outlook is characterized by continuing moderate economic
growth and low inflation. The target federal funds rate decreased 275 basis
points with six rate decreases during the last half of fiscal 2001. These rate
changes resulted in decreases in both loan and deposit interest rates being
offered in the last half of fiscal 2001. Parkvale anticipates the Federal
Reserve to initiate additional rate cuts during early fiscal 2002.
Parkvale will continue to be affected by these and other market and economic
conditions, such as inflation and factors affecting the markets for debt and
equity securities, as well as legislative, regulatory, accounting and tax
changes which are beyond its control. Parkvale has positioned its liquidity
level to remain flexible to the high volatility of the financial market. For
additional discussion of asset/liability management, see the Asset and Liability
Management section of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in the 2001 Annual Report.

(1) Includes $50.2 million, $44.9 million and $42.6 million of loans originated
by PMC during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At June 30, 2001, Parkvale's net loan portfolio amounted to $1.1 billion,
representing 79.1% of Parkvale's total assets at that date. Parkvale has
traditionally concentrated its lending activities on conventional first mortgage
loans secured by residential property. Conventional loans are not insured by the
Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Department of
Veteran's Affairs ("VA").

Conventional loans secured by single family amounted to $849.6 million or 76.3%
of the net loan portfolio, multifamily residential properties amounted to $24.6
million or 2.2% of the net loan portfolio at June 30, 2001, and loans secured by
commercial real estate represented $78.1 million or 7.0% of the net loan
portfolio. FHA/VA loans accounted for $2.1 million or 0.2% of the net loan
portfolio at June 30, 2001.
Total consumer loans were $132.6 million or 11.9% of the net loan portfolio at
June 30, 2001. Commercial loans represented 3.4% of the net loan portfolio at
that date.

Gross loans receivable (2) $954,478 $39,279
======== =======
(1) Includes all residential and commercial real estate loans, and loans for
the purchase and development of land.
(2) Variable rate and ARM loans represent approximately 72.3% of gross loans
receivable at June 30, 2001. Of the $971.9 million principal amount of
loans maturing after June 30, 2002, loans with an aggregate principal
amount of $337.3 million have fixed interest rates and loans with an
aggregate principal amount of $634.6 million have variable or adjustable
interest rates.
The average life of mortgage loans has been substantially less than the average
contractual terms of such loans because of loan prepayments and, to a lesser
extent, because of enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which enable Parkvale to
declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that the borrower sells
or otherwise disposes of the real property. The average life of mortgage loans
tends to increase, however, when market rates on new mortgages substantially
exceed rates on existing mortgages and, conversely, decrease when rates on new
mortgages are substantially below rates on existing mortgages. During fiscal
2001 and fiscal 2000, borrowers were refinancing their mortgage loans in order
to take advantage of the lower market rates, as was the case in the early
1990's.

ORIGINATION, PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOANS
As a Pennsylvania-chartered, federally-insured savings bank, Parkvale has the
ability to originate or purchase real estate loans secured by properties located
throughout the United States. At June 30, 2001, the majority of loans in
Parkvale's portfolio are secured by real estate located in its primary market
area, which consists of the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. However, 50.0%
and 48.2% of Parkvale's total mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, represent loans serviced by others, the majority of which are
secured by properties located outside of Pennsylvania, including, in order of
loan concentration: Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, and Washington. The increase
in loans secured by out-of- state properties is due to the loan purchases of
$202.2 million, which amounted to 66.8% of Parkvale's total origination and
purchases for fiscal 2001 as compared to loan purchases of $85.5 million, or
47.9% of total originations in fiscal 2000 . See further discussion below.
Currently, new loans are originated by Parkvale primarily within its primary
market area or through the PMC offices. In addition, Parkvale purchases loan
participations and whole loans from other institutions.
All of Parkvale's mortgage lending is subject to its written underwriting
standards and to loan origination procedures approved by the Board of Directors.
Decisions on loan applications are made on a number of factors including, but
not limited to, property valuations by independent appraisers, credit history
and cash flow available to service debt. The Loan Committee of Parkvale consists
of senior officers and is authorized to approve all loans up to $500,000. At
least three senior officers must be present to hold a meeting of the Loan
Committee. Loans exceeding $500,000 must be approved by the Board of Directors.
Under policies adopted by Parkvale's Board of Directors, Parkvale limits the
loan-to-value ratio to 80% on newly originated residential mortgage loans, or up
to 95% with private mortgage insurance. Depending upon the amount of private
mortgage insurance obtained by the borrower, Parkvale's loan exposure may be
reduced to as low as 65% of the value of the property. Commercial real estate
loans generally do not exceed 80% of the value of the secured property. In
addition, it is Parkvale's policy to obtain title insurance policies insuring
that Parkvale has a valid first lien on mortgaged real estate.
ORIGINATIONS BY PARKVALE. Historically, mortgage loans have been originated by
Parkvale primarily through referrals from real estate brokers, builders and
direct customers, as well as through refinancings for existing customers.
Consumer and commercial loan originations are made by Parkvale within its
primary market area. Total loan originations for the fiscal years ending June
30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $126.0 million, $133.7 million and $134.8 million,
respectively. Mortgage originations have increased during fiscal 2001, while
commercial and consumer demand have decreased.
LOAN PURCHASES. The asset/liability strategy of owning ARM loans to remain
flexible in a volatile interest rate environment was evident during fiscal 2001
as Parkvale increased loan purchases to $202.2 million from $85.5 million in
fiscal 2000. In fiscal 2001, all of the purchased loans were ARM loans.
Typically, Parkvale purchases loans to supplement the portfolio during periods
of loan origination shortfalls and takes advantage of market opportunities when
yields on whole loans are greater than similarly securitized loans. Loan
purchases are higher when prepayment speeds increase on existing portfolios. All
loan purchases are subject to Parkvale's underwriting standards and are
purchased from reputable mortgage banking institutions.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS
Parkvale offers ARMs with amortization periods of up to 30 years. The monthly
payment amounts on all Parkvale residential mortgage ARMs are reset at each
interest rate adjustment period without affecting the maturity of the ARM.
Interest rate adjustments generally occur on either a one, three or five year
basis and allow a maximum change of 2% to 3% per adjustment period, with a 6% or
7% maximum rate increase over the life of the loan. ARMs comprised approximately
89.5%, 78.7% and 83.6% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases in
fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At June 30, 2001, 72.3% of Parkvale's
total residential loan portfolio was represented by ARMs. ARM loans generally do
not adjust as rapidly as Parkvale's cost of funds. Parkvale has been emphasizing
the origination of adjustable-rate versus long-term fixed-rate residential
mortgages for its portfolio as part of the asset and liability plan to increase
the rate sensitivity of its assets.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS
The balance of commercial real estate mortgages increased from $54.5 million at
June 30, 2000 to $55.9 million at June 30, 2001. Commercial loans offer more
attractive yields than residential real estate loans, but are conservatively
underwritten and well secured, as are residential loans. Also, these loans are
made in the Pittsburgh area, which traditionally has not experienced the
dramatic real estate price increases and decreases which have occurred in
certain other geographic areas.
CONSUMER LOANS
Parkvale offers a full complement of consumer loans, including home equity
loans, home equity and personal lines of credit, student loans, personal loans,
deposit loans, home improvement loans, charge card, automobile and sub-prime
loans. Total consumer loans outstanding at June 30, 2001 increased by 0.8% to
$132.6 million from $131.5 million at June 30, 2000. Parkvale has been granting
home equity lines of credit at up to 120% of collateral value at competitive
introductory rates. Of an aggregate $37.4 million in outstanding lines of credit
at June 30, 2001, $2.6 million have a loan to value ratio greater than 100% and
$9.3 million have a loan to value ratio ranging from 81% to 100%. These loans
have shorter maturities and greater interest rate sensitivity and margins than
residential real estate loans.
Home equity lines are revolving and range from $5,000 to $250,000. The amount of
the available line of credit is determined by the borrower's ability to pay,
their credit history and the amount of collateral equity. Personal and overdraft
lines of credit are generally unsecured and are extended for $500 to $50,000.
Line of credit interest rates are variable and are priced at a margin above
Parkvale's prime rate.
Parkvale offers student loans through its community banking network. Parkvale
receives a guaranteed rate on such loans indexed to the 91-day United States
Treasury bill rate and generally sells the loans to the Student Loan Marketing
Association when the student graduates or leaves school in order to avoid costly
servicing expenses.
9
10
Parkvale's deposit loans are made on a demand basis for up to 90% of the balance
of the account securing the loan. The interest rate on deposit loans equals the
rate on the underlying account plus a minimum of 200 basis points.
Parkvale offers Visa and Visa Gold cards through the Independent Bankers
Association of America. There are no annual fees charged on Visa accounts.
Credit card balances outstanding totalled $3.1 million, $3.4 million and $4.2
million at June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The balance decreased in
fiscal 2001 is primarily due to an increased demand for tax deductible home
equity lines of credit.
Parkvale offers subprime loans through a subsidiary, PV Financial Service, Inc.
The portfolio balance was $9.7 million at June 30, 2001 and $9.8 million at June
30, 2000. This portfolio has generated $1.4 million of secured loans during
fiscal 2001 and $4.2 million during fiscal 2000.
COMMERCIAL LOANS
Parkvale's commercial loans are primarily of a short-term nature and are
extended to small businesses and professionals located within the communities
served by Parkvale. Generally, the purpose of the loan dictates the basis for
its repayment. Both secured and unsecured commercial loans are offered by
Parkvale. In originating commercial loans, the borrower's historical and
projected ability to service the proposed debt is of primary importance.
Interest rates are generally variable and indexed to Parkvale's prime rate.
Fixed-rate commercial loans are extended based upon Parkvale's ability to match
available funding sources to loan maturities. Parkvale generally requires
personal guarantees on its commercial loans. Commercial loans were $38.3 million
and $34.3 million at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increased loans
in fiscal 2001 were the result of additional resources dedicated toward small
business lending in the greater Pittsburgh area.
LOAN SERVICING AND LOAN FEES
Interest rates and fees charged by Parkvale on mortgage loans are primarily
determined by funding costs and competitive rates offered in its market area.
Mortgage loan rates reflect factors such as general interest rate levels, the
availability of money and loan demand.
After originating fixed rate mortgage loans, Parkvale has the ability to sell
its loans in the secondary mortgage market, primarily to Freddie Mac. Parkvale
generally retains the right to service loans sold or securitized in order to
generate additional servicing fee income. The amount of loans serviced by
Parkvale for others increased from $3.4 million at June 30, 2000 to $7.8 million
at June 30, 2001. This increase from fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2001 is a result of a
commercial loan participation in which Parkvale is the lead servicing bank.
There have been no mortgage loan securitizations or sale transactions since
fiscal 1991, with the exception of certain loans made in conjunction with
various state and local bond programs designed to assist first time and/or low
income home buyers. Parkvale may or may not be the servicer of these loans
depending on the terms of the specific program.
In addition to interest earned on loans and income from servicing of loans,
Parkvale generally receives fees in connection with loan commitments and
originations, loan modifications, late payments,
10
11
changes of property ownership and for miscellaneous services related to its
loans. Income from these activities varies with the volume and type of loans
originated. The fees received by Parkvale in connection with the origination of
conventional mortgage loans on single family properties vary depending on the
loan terms selected by the borrower.
Parkvale defers loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs over the contractual life of a loan as an adjustment of yield.
Indirect loan origination costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Net deferred loan origination fees were $800,000, $1.0 million and $300,000 at
June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increased balance in fiscal 1999
and 2000 reflects the fees deferred related to the higher level of commercial
real estate and commercial loans with deferred fees.
NONPERFORMING LOANS AND FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE
The following table sets forth information regarding Parkvale's nonaccrual loans
and foreclosed real estate at June 30.

percent of total assets 0.39% 0.30% 0.27% 0.43% 0.27%
A loan is considered delinquent when a borrower fails to make contractual
payments on the loan. If the delinquency exceeds 90 days, Parkvale generally
institutes legal action to remedy the default. In the case of real estate loans,
this includes foreclosure action. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the
loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at a
judicial sale at which, in most instances, Parkvale is the buyer. The acquired
property then becomes "foreclosed real estate" until it is sold. In the case of
consumer and commercial business loans, the measures to remedy defaults include
the repossession of the collateral, if any, and initiation of proceedings to
collect and/or liquidate the collateral and/or act against guarantees related to
the loans.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management's judgment, the
probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant
further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued
but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. As a result, no
uncollected interest income is included in earnings for loans which are on
nonaccrual status. Parkvale provides an allowance for the loss of accrued but
uncollected interest on mortgage, consumer and commercial business loans which
are more than 90 days contractually past due.

12
Assets classified as substandard/nonaccrual or foreclosed real estate in excess
of $250,000, net of reserves, at June 30, 2001 consist of one commercial
property. Parkvale has foreclosed real estate due to a 1998 foreclosure on
office buildings previously owned by 200 Meyran Associates. The office building
remaining in foreclosed real estate at June 30, 2001 is in the process of
renovations to permit marketing of the property during fiscal 2002. No other
nonperforming asset exceeded $250,000 at June 30, 2001.
As of June 30, 2001, $208,000 or 12.6% of the nonaccrual mortgage loans totaling
$1.7 million were purchased from others, which were secured by 5 single family
properties.

======= ======= ======= ======= =======
The first step in determining the allowance for loan losses is recognizing a
specific allowance on individual impaired loans. Nonaccrual, substandard and
doubtful commercial and other real estate loans are considered impaired.
Impaired loans are generally evaluated based on the present value of the
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at
the loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. Based on this evaluation, specific loss reserves
are established on impaired loans when necessary.
The allowance for loan loss was $13.4 million at June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000
or 1.19% and 1.27% of gross loans at June 30, 2000 and June 30 2001,
respectively. The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined by
management through evaluation of the loss potential on individual nonperforming,
delinquent and high dollar loans, economic and business trends, growth and
composition of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience, as well as
other relevant factors.
The allowance for loan loss is continually monitored by management to identify
potential portfolio risks and detect potential credit deterioration in the early
stages. Management then establishes reserves based upon its evaluation of the
inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan
loss is adequate to absorb probable loan losses.

As part of its investment strategy, Parkvale invests in mortgage-backed
securities, the majority of which are guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or
the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). GNMA securities are
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the
United States Treasury, while Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities are
guaranteed by their respective agencies. At June 30, 2001, Parkvale had $16.5
million, or 1.7% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities, as
compared to 1.6% and 2.2% at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At June 30,
2001, the mortgage-backed securities consisted of Freddie Mac ($4.0 million);
GNMA ($2.0 million); Fannie Mae ($548,000); collateralized mortgage obligations,
including REMIC's ($9.2 million) and private participation certificates
($740,000).

HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The objective of Parkvale's financial futures policy is to reduce interest rate
risk by authorizing an asset and liability hedging program. The futures policy
permits Parkvale's President to hedge up to $10 million of assets and
liabilities. Hedges over $10 million and up to $25 million require the approval
of the Audit- Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, and hedges over $25
million require the approval of the
Board of Directors. The objective of Parkvale's financial options policy is to
reduce interest rate risk in the investment portfolio through the use of
financial options. The options policy permits the use of options on United
States Treasury bills, notes, bonds and bond futures and on mortgage-backed
securities. The options policy generally limits the use of puts and calls to
$5.0 million per type of option. Parkvale's President and Senior Vice President
- Treasurer are authorized to conduct options activities, which are monitored by
the Audit-Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Parkvale has not engaged
in any financial future or financial option activity in the last three fiscal
years.
Derivative instruments are various instruments used to construct a transaction
that is derived from and reflects the underlying value of assets, other
instruments or various indices. The primary purpose of derivatives, which
include such items as forward contracts, interest rate swap contracts, options
and futures, is to transfer price risk associated with the fluctuations of
financial instrument value. Parkvale has not entered into any forward contracts,
interest rate swap contracts, options or futures.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL
Savings accounts and other types of deposits have traditionally been the
principal source of Parkvale's funds for use in lending and for other general
business purposes. In addition to deposits, Parkvale derives funds from loan
repayments and FHLB advances. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to
compensate for seasonal or other reductions in deposits or for inflows at less
than projected levels, as well as on a longer term basis to support expanded
lending and investment activities. Parkvale's ability to maintain high liquidity
levels has allowed investment decisions to be evaluated with the funding source
as a secondary issue.
14
15
DEPOSITS
Parkvale has established a complete program of deposit products designed to
attract both short-term and long-term savings by providing an assortment of
accounts and rates. The deposit products currently offered by Parkvale include
passbook and statement savings accounts, noninsured sweep accounts, checking
accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit ranging in terms from
31 days to ten years, IRA certificates and jumbo certificates of deposit. In
addition, Parkvale is a member of the MAC system with twenty-nine ATMs currently
operated by Parkvale.
Parkvale is generally competitive in the types of accounts and in the interest
rates it offers on its deposit products, although it generally does not lead the
market with respect to the level of interest rates offered. Parkvale intends to
continue its efforts to attract deposits as a principal source of funds for
supporting its lending activities because the cost of these funds generally is
less than other borrowings. Although market demand generally dictates which
deposit maturities and rates will be accepted by the public, Parkvale intends to
continue to promote longer term deposits to the extent possible in a manner
consistent with its asset and liability management goals. This is apparent
during fiscal 2001, due to the deposit increases that are attributable to
certificate of deposit specials that ranged in terms from 25 to 36 months with
rates ranging from 5.50% to 7.25%.
The following table shows the distribution of Parkvale's deposits by type of

The wide range of deposit accounts offered has increased Parkvale's ability to
retain funds and allowed it to be more competitive in obtaining new funds, but
does not eliminate the threat of disintermediation. During periods of high
interest rates, certificate and money market accounts have been more costly than
traditional accounts. In addition, Parkvale has become much more subject to
short-term fluctuations in deposit flows as customers have become more rate
conscious and willing to move funds into higher yielding accounts. The ability
of Parkvale to attract and maintain deposits and Parkvale's cost of funds has
been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by market conditions.
The principal methods used by Parkvale to attract deposits include the offering
of a wide range of services and accounts, competitive interest rates, and
convenient office hours and locations. Parkvale utilizes traditional marketing
methods to attract new customers and deposits, including mass media advertising
and direct mail.
Parkvale's deposits are obtained primarily from persons who are residents of
Pennsylvania. Parkvale neither advertises for deposits outside of Pennsylvania
nor utilizes the services of deposit brokers. An insignificant amount of
Parkvale's deposits were held by nonresidents of Pennsylvania at June 30, 2001.

BORROWINGS
Parkvale's borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are collateralized with FHLB
capital stock, deposits with the FHLB of Pittsburgh and investment securities.
See "Regulation - Federal Home Loan Bank System". Borrowings are made pursuant
to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate
and range of maturities. FHLB advances are generally available to meet seasonal
and other withdrawals of savings accounts and to expand lending and investment
activities, as well as to aid the efforts of members to establish better
asset/liability management by extending the maturities of liabilities.
The following table sets forth information concerning Parkvale's advances from
the FHLB of Pittsburgh for the years ended June 30.
2001 2000 1999

18
The increase in the outstanding average balance from $58.2 million in 2000 to
$91.2 million in 2001 is due to additional advances drawn on the FHLB during
fiscal 2001. The increases related to new borrowings made at the during the
first, second and third quarters fiscal of 2001 at rates ranging from 4.98% to
6.21% for advances with a stated maturity of 10 to 15 years, with conversion
options after from five to seven years. Such borrowings were used to fund either
loan purchases or loan originations.
YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID
The results of operations of Parkvale depend substantially on its net interest
income, which is the largest component of Parkvale's net income. Net interest
income is affected by the difference or spread between yields earned by Parkvale
on its loan and investment portfolios and the rates of interest paid by Parkvale
for its deposits and borrowings, as well as the relative amounts of its
interest-earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities. The Federal Reserve
has decreased rates by 275 basis points during the latter half of fiscal 2001.
Such decreases are likely to adversely affect Parkvale's earnings during fiscal
2002 due to the high magnitude of changes in fewer than six months. The Federal
Reserve could make additional rate changes in fiscal 2002.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest
income and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of
interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided
on changes attributable to (1) changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by
old volume), (2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate),
and (3) changes in rate-volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in
volume).

SUBSIDIARIES
Pennsylvania law permits a Pennsylvania-chartered, federally-insured savings
institution to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital stock, paid-in
surplus and unsecured obligations of service corporations and an additional 1%
of its assets when the additional funds are utilized for community or inner-city
development or investment. Because Parkvale's subsidiaries are operating
subsidiaries rather than service corporations, this limitation does not apply.
At June 30, 2001, Parkvale had equity investments of less than $1.0 million in
its operating subsidiary corporations.

("PVFS") and Renaissance Corporation ("Renaissance"). The PIC was formed in
fiscal 2000 as a Delaware Investment Corporation. PMC was acquired in 1986 and
currently operates three offices originating residential mortgage loans for the
Bank. For additional information regarding PMC, see "Lending Activities". PVFS
was incorporated in 1972 and on July 1, 1997, PVFS began operating as a subprime
lending subsidiary with the intent of extending consumer loans to individuals
who may otherwise not be able to obtain funds based on their unfavorable or
nonexistent credit history. At June 30, 2001, PVFS had net assets of $223,000
and $9.7 million of loans outstanding. Renaissance completes collateral
evaluations for consumer lending activities for the Bank. The sole asset of
Renaissance at June 30, 2001 is $83,000 in cash.
COMPETITION
Parkvale faces substantial competition both in the attraction of deposits and in
the making of mortgage and other loans in its primary market area. Competition
for the origination of mortgage and other loans principally comes from other
savings institutions, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit
unions and other financial service corporations located in the Pittsburgh
metropolitan area. Because of the wide diversity and large number of
competitors, the exact number of competitors is fluid. Parkvale's most direct
competition for deposits has historically come from other savings institutions,
commercial banks and credit unions located in the Pittsburgh area. In times of
high interest rates, Parkvale also encounters significant competition for
investors' funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and
government securities. During the low interest rate environment, Parkvale and
other depository institutions have also experienced increased competition from
stocks, mutual funds, and other direct investments offering the potential for
higher yields.
Parkvale competes for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees
it charges on its loan programs. In addition, Parkvale believes it offers a high
degree of professionalism and quality in the services it provides borrowers and
their real estate brokers. It competes for deposits by offering a variety of
deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and convenient
branch locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each
branch. Parkvale believes that its office locations in various neighborhoods of
Pittsburgh and the surrounding suburbs outside of downtown Pittsburgh provide
Parkvale with both an opportunity to become an integral part of these smaller
communities and the means of competing with larger financial institutions doing
business within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. In addition, Parkvale has
three offices located in downtown Pittsburgh to provide services to the business
community and to its suburban customers working and shopping in the city.
MARKET AREA
The greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area, which is a heavily populated and
predominately industrialized region, ranks 19th in population of the
metropolitan areas in the country according to the 1990 census. The region's
economy is primarily dependent on a combination of the manufacturing trade,
services, government and transportation industries. The economy has experienced
a transition away from the steel and steel-related industries to the service
industries, such as transportation, health care, education and finance. In
addition to containing the corporate headquarters of major industrial and
financial corporations, Pittsburgh is also a major regional health and education
center, and a large number of high technology firms have established operations
in Pittsburgh due to the wide range of support services available.
19
20
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2001, Parkvale and its subsidiaries had 307 full-time equivalent
employees. These employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agent
or union, and Parkvale believes it has satisfactory relations with its
personnel.
REGULATION
GENERAL
Following conversion to a Pennsylvania savings bank charter in fiscal 1993, the
Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the FDIC and the Department, and is
no longer directly subject to regulation by the OTS. Nonetheless, several
requirements which were applicable to the Bank as a Pennsylvania chartered
savings association regulated by the OTS remain applicable to the Bank as a
Pennsylvania chartered savings bank. The FDIC has adopted a regulation which
provides that the same restrictions on activities, investments in subsidiaries,
loans to one borrower, and affiliate transactions apply to the Bank as if the
Bank had not converted to a savings bank charter. However, the capital
requirements applicable to the Bank as a savings bank are the FDIC's capital
maintenance regulations rather than the comparable OTS regulations.
The Bank files reports with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC
describing its activities and financial condition and is periodically examined
to test compliance with various regulatory requirements. This supervision and
regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. Certain of
these regulatory requirements are referred to below or elsewhere in this
document.
INSURANCE AND REGULATORY STRUCTURE. An insurance fund administered by the FDIC
and named the SAIF insures the deposits of savings associations and certain
savings banks. The FDIC fund known as the BIF insures the deposits of commercial
banks and certain savings banks. Although the FDIC administers both funds, the
assets and liabilities are not commingled.
CAPITAL STANDARDS. The Bank is required to maintain Tier I (Core) capital equal
to at least 4% of the institution's adjusted total assets, and total risk-based
capital equal to at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital includes
both Tier I and Tier II (supplementary) capital, with Tier II capital limited to
no more than the amount of Tier I capital. At June 30, 2001, Parkvale was in
compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, with Tier I and total
capital ratios of 6.5% and 11.8%, respectively.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
required, among other things, each federal banking agency to revise its
risk-based capital standards for insured institutions to ensure that those
standards take adequate account of interest-rate risk ("IRR"), concentration of
credit risk, and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as to reflect
the actual performance and expected
20
21
risk of loss on multifamily residential loans. On June 26, 1996, the FDIC, the
FRB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), collectively,
"the agencies", jointly issued a policy statement providing bankers guidance on
sound interest rate risk management practices. This policy statement augments
the action taken by the agencies in August 1995 to implement the portion of
FDICIA addressing risk-based capital standards for interest rate risk. It also
replaced the proposed policy statement that the agencies issued for comment in
August 1995 regarding a supervisory framework for measuring and assessing banks'
interest rate exposures. The agencies elected not to pursue a standardized
measure and explicit capital charge for interest rate risk at this time.
Instead, the Policy Statement encourages banks to use their own internal models
to measure IRR but emphasizes that they must have adequate board and senior
management oversight and a comprehensive process for managing IRR.
Parkvale's management does not anticipate difficulty in meeting the capital
requirements in the future. However, there can be no assurance that this will be
the case. Failure to maintain minimum levels of required capital will result in
the submission to the applicable FDIC Regional Director for review and approval
of a reasonable plan describing the means and timing by which the bank shall
achieve its minimum Tier I ratio and may result in the imposition by the
Pennsylvania Department of Banking or the FDIC of various operational
restrictions, including limitations as to the rate of interest that may be paid
on deposit accounts, the taking of deposits, the issuance of new accounts, the
ability to originate a particular type of loan, and the purchase of loans or the
taking of specified other investments. Alternatively, the institution may be
placed into receivership or conservatorship under the FDIC, which would be
charged with managing the institution until it could be sold or liquidated.
INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES. Investments in and extensions of credit to
subsidiaries not engaged in activities permissible for national banks must
generally be deducted from capital. However, certain exemptions generally apply
where: (i) a subsidiary is engaged in activities impermissible for national
banks solely as an agent for its customers and (ii) the subsidiary is engaged
solely in mortgage-banking activities. These provisions have not reduced or
limited Parkvale's business activity.
INVESTMENT RULES. The permissible amount of loans to one borrower follows the
national bank standards for all loans made by savings banks. The national bank
standard generally does not permit loans to one borrower to exceed 15% of
unimpaired capital and surplus. Loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of
unimpaired capital and surplus also may be made to a borrower if the loans are
fully secured by readily marketable securities. Parkvale has historically made
loans with lesser dollar balances than permitted by federal regulations.
Savings banks and subsidiaries may not acquire or retain investments in
corporate debt securities that at the time of acquisition were not rated in one
of the four highest rating categories by at least one nationally recognized
rating organization. Parkvale fully complies with regulations governing
investments in corporate debt securities.
ACQUISITIONS BY BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. Bank holding companies are able to
acquire any savings institution, including healthy as well as troubled
institutions. Current regulations do not impose any geographic restrictions on
such acquisitions, and as a result, a number of savings institutions have been
acquired by bank holding companies.
21
22
SAVINGS AND LOAN HOLDING COMPANY JURISDICTION. The Director of the OTS
administers and regulates the activities of registered savings and loan holding
companies and the acquisition of savings banks by any company. Savings and loan
holding companies, such as Parkvale Financial Corporation, are no longer
required to receive regulatory approval prior to incurring debt. Savings banks
which are subsidiaries of a holding company, as well as other savings banks, are
now deemed to be member banks for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B of the
Federal Reserve Act and, as a result, are subject to the transaction with
affiliate rules contained in those sections. Savings and loan holding companies
now may also purchase up to 5% of the stock of unaffiliated savings bank or
savings and loan holding companies without prior regulatory approval.
ENFORCEMENT. The FDIC's enforcement powers extend to all
"institution-affiliated" parties, including shareholders, attorneys, appraisers
and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action
having or likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Civil
penalties are classified into three levels, with amounts increasing with the
severity of the violation. The first tier provides for civil penalties up to
$5,000 per day for violation of law or regulation. A civil penalty of up to
$25,000 per day may be assessed if more than a minimal loss to an institution or
action that results in a substantial pecuniary gain or other benefit. Criminal
penalties are increased to $1 million per violation, up to $5 million for
continuing violations or for the actual amount of gain or loss. These monetary
penalties may be combined with prison sentences of up to five years.
Regulators can impose enforcement action on an institution that fails to comply
with its regulatory requirements, particularly with respect to the capital
requirements. Possible enforcement actions include the imposition of a capital
plan and termination of deposit insurance. The FDIC also may recommend that the
Department of Banking take enforcement action. If action is not taken by the
Department, the FDIC would have authority to compel such action under certain
circumstances.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs,
each subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board.
The FHLBs provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions.
The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, is required to acquire and hold
shares of capital stock in that FHLB in an amount equal to at least 1% of the
aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans, home
purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5%
of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, whichever is greater.
Parkvale had a $9.7 million investment in stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh at
June 30, 2001 to comply with this requirement.
Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are secured by a member's shares of stock
in the FHLB of Pittsburgh, certain types of mortgages and other assets. The
maximum amount of credit which the FHLB of Pittsburgh will advance for purposes
other than meeting deposit withdrawals fluctuates from time to time in
accordance with changes in policies of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Interest rates
charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds to the FHLB
of Pittsburgh and the purpose of the borrowing. At June 30, 2001, the Bank had
$116.1 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.
22
23
INTERSTATE ACQUISITIONS
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enacted legislation which permits
interstate acquisitions and branching, subject to specific restrictions, for
savings banks located in Delaware, Kentucky, the District of Columbia, Maryland,
New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia ("the Region") if the state offers
reciprocal rights to savings institutions located in Pennsylvania.
Of the states in the Region, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and
West Virginia currently have laws that permit savings banks located in
Pennsylvania to branch into such states and/or acquire savings banks located in
such states.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings banks to maintain
noninterest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily
checking accounts) and certain nonpersonal time deposits. Money market deposit
accounts are subject to the reserve requirement applicable to nonpersonal time
deposits when held by a person other than a natural person. Because required
reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a non-interest bearing
account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to
reduce the Bank's interest-earning assets. Parkvale satisfies the majority of
its reserve requirement with vault cash.
PENNSYLVANIA SAVINGS BANK LAW
The Bank is incorporated under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended
("Banking Code"), which contains detailed provisions governing the organization,
location of offices, rights and responsibilities of directors, officers,
employees and members, as well as corporate powers, savings and investment
operations and other aspects of the Bank and its affairs. The Banking Code
delegates extensive rulemaking power and administrative discretion to the
Department so that the supervision and regulation of state-chartered banks may
be flexible and readily responsive to changes in economic conditions and in
savings and lending practices.
One of the declared purposes of the Banking Code is to provide banks with the
opportunity to be competitive with each other and with other financial
institutions existing under other state, federal and foreign laws.
A Pennsylvania savings bank may locate or change the location of its principal
place of business and establish an office anywhere in the Commonwealth, with the
prior approval of the Department.
The Department generally examines each savings bank at least once every two
years. The Banking Code permits the Department to accept the examinations and
reports of the FDIC in lieu of the Department's examination. The present
practice is for the Department and the FDIC to conduct examinations annually on
an alternating basis. The Department may order any bank to discontinue any
violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any
director, officer, attorney or employee of a bank engaged in an objectionable
activity, after the Department has ordered the activity to be terminated, to
show cause at a hearing before the Department why such person should not be
removed.

TAXATION
FEDERAL TAXATION
For federal income tax purposes, PFC and its subsidiaries file a consolidated
return on a calendar year basis and report their income and expenses on the
accrual basis of accounting. Since 1987, corporations are subject to the
corporate alternative minimum tax to the extent this tax would exceed the
regular tax liability. PFC has not been subject to this tax in the past and does
not anticipate being subject to this tax in future years given its current level
of financial and taxable income. With certain exceptions, no deduction is
allowed for interest expense allocable to the purchase or carrying of tax exempt
obligations acquired after August 7, 1986.
PFC's income tax returns for calendar 1999 and 2000 has been filed with the IRS
and are open to examination. However, PFC has not yet been advised by the IRS if
an examination will be performed. All income tax returns for calendar 1998 and
prior years have been either accepted as filed or settled with the IRS with such
settlements not resulting in a significant charge to income.
STATE TAXATION
For state tax purposes, Parkvale reports its income and expenses on the accrual
basis of accounting and files its tax returns on a calendar year basis. Parkvale
is subject to the Pennsylvania Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax ("MTIT"). This tax
is imposed at the rate of 11.5% on net income computed substantially in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Under the
Mutual Thrift Institution Act, Parkvale is not subject to any state or local
taxes except for the MTIT described above and taxes imposed upon real estate and
the transfer thereof.
See Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding federal and state taxation.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Parkvale presently conducts its business from its main office and 33 branch
offices located in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Parkvale owns the building
and land for 9 of its offices and leases its remaining 24 offices. Such leases
expire through 2021. PMC leases facilities outside of Pennsylvania for three
loan origination centers. At June 30, 2001, Parkvale's land, building and
equipment had a net book value of $7.1 million.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
PFC and its subsidiaries, in the normal course of business, are subject to
various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are
asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate
that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such other
lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on PFC's nor its subsidiaries'
financial positions.
