           PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES INCREASED EARNINGS
                   FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2005

         PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, MONROEVILLE, PA (NASDAQ: PVSA) REPORTED
NET INCOME FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 OF $3.2 MILLION OR $0.57 PER
DILUTED SHARE, UP 46.2%, COMPARED TO NET INCOME OF $2.2 MILLION OR $0.39 PER
DILUTED SHARE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2004. The $984,000 increase in net
income for the June 2005 quarter reflects a $3.2 million increase in net
interest income offset by increases of $1.5 million in non-interest expense and
$598,000 in income taxes. The June 2004 quarterly results included gains on the
sale of assets of $446,000. The increase in net income for the quarter is
primarily attributable to the seven offices added with the acquisition of
Advance Financial Bancorp in December 2004. Return on average equity was 11.42%
for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up from 8.48% for the quarter ended in
June 2004.

COMPARED TO NET INCOME OF $10.0 MILLION OR $1.77 PER DILUTED SHARE FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004. The $1.7 million increase in fiscal year 2005
net income reflects a $6.2 million increase in net interest income offset by
increases of $3.3 million in non-interest expense and $1.1 million in income
taxes. Net interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 increased
to $34.8 million from $28.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004.
The fiscal June 2005 results contain gains on the sale of assets and securities
of $27,000 compared to fiscal 2004 gains on the sale of assets and securities of
$1.1 million. Return on average equity was 10.70% for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2005, up from 9.75% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
