  For Immediate Release
                                                             April 21, 2005

        PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES AN INCREASE IN EARNINGS
                      FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2005

         PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, MONROEVILLE, PA (NASDAQ: PVSA) REPORTED
NET INCOME FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 OF $3.1 MILLION OR $0.54 PER
DILUTED SHARE, UP 14.9% ON A PER SHARE BASIS, COMPARED TO NET INCOME OF $2.7
MILLION OR $0.47 PER DILUTED SHARE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2004. The
$460,000 increase in net income for the March 2005 quarter reflects increases in
net interest income and non-interest income mitigated by an increase in
non-interest expense. The 17.3% increase in net income for the quarter is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Advance Financial Bancorp (AFB) in
December 2004. Net interest income increased to $9.7 million from $7.5 million
for the prior period. Return on average equity was 11.31% for the March 2005
quarter, up from 10.21% for the March 2004 quarter.

         NET INCOME FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 WAS $8.5 MILLION OR
$1.49 PER DILUTED SHARE, UP 8.0% ON A PER SHARE BASIS, COMPARED TO NET INCOME OF
$7.8 MILLION OR $1.38 PER DILUTED SHARE FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2004. The $667,000 increase in net income for the March 2005 nine months
reflects an increase in net interest income and non-interest income partially
offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income for the nine
months ended March 31, 2005 increased to $25.0 million from $22.0 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Return on average equity was 10.45% for
the nine months ended March 2005, up from 10.19% for nine months ended March
2004.

         Parkvale Financial Corporation is the parent of Parkvale Bank, which
has 46 offices in the Tri State area. The Bank had assets of $1.9 billion at
March 31, 2005.
