            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of Advance Financial Bancorp (the
"Company"), includes its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advance Financial Savings
Bank (the "Bank"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advance Financial Service
Corporation of West Virginia.  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do
not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited
financial statements.  The information furnished reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results of operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997 and related notes which
are included on the Form 10-KSB (file no. 0-21885). 

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  This statement
redefines the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) previously
found in Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share.
Statement 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting EPS and
requires dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" EPS on the face of income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Under Statement
128, basic EPS is to be computed based upon income available to common
shareholders and the weighted  average number of common shares outstanding for
the period.  Diluted EPS is to reflect the potential dilution that could occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the Company.  Statement 128 also requires the
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per share.  There were no convertible securities which would effect the
numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net
income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) will
be used as the numerator.  The following tables set forth a reconciliation of
the denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

NOTE 3 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Restrictive Stock Bonus Plan (RSP)
---------------------------------

In December 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a RSP for certain officers
and employees which was approved by stockholders at a special meeting held on
January 20, 1998.  The objective of this Plan is to enable the Company and the
Bank to retain its corporate officers, key employees, and directors who have
the experience and ability necessary to manage these entities.  Directors,
officers, and key employees who are selected by members of a Board appointed
committee are eligible to receive benefits under the RSP.  The non-employee
directors of the Company and the Bank serve as trustees for the RSP, which has
the responsibility to invest all funds contributed by the Bank to the Trust
created for the RSP.

In February 1998, the Trust purchased with funds contributed by the Bank,
shares of the common stock of which 26,024 shares were issued to directors and
chief executive officer, and 17,354 shares remained unissued.  Directors, 
officers, and key employees who terminate their association with the Company 
shall forfeit the right to any shares which were awarded but not earned. 

The Company granted a total of 26,024 shares of common stock on January 20, 
1998 of which 5,205 shares became immediately vested under the plan.  These
shares vest over a five year period beginning January 20, 1998.  The RSP
shares purchased in the conversion initially will be excluded from
stockholder's equity.  The Company recognizes compensation expense in the
amount of fair value of the common stock at the grant date, pro rata over the
years during which the shares are payable and recorded as an addition to
stockholders' equity. 

Stock Option Plan
-----------------

In December, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a Stock Option Plan for the
directors, officers, and employees which was approved by stockholders at a
special meeting held on January 20, 1998.  An aggregate of 108,445 shares of
authorized but unissued common stock of the Company were reserved for future 
issuance under the plan.  The stock options typically have expiration terms of
ten years subject to certain extensions and early terminations.  The per 
share exercise price of a stock option shall be, at a minimum, equal to the 
fair value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted.  
Proceeds from the exercise of the stock options are credited to common stock 
for the aggregate par value and the excess is credited to additional paid - in 
capital.

The following table presents share data related to the stock option plan:

NOTE 4 - PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
Statement No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1997.  This statement establishes standards for reporting 
and presentation of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, 
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general purpose financial 
statements.  It requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported
in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as 
other financial statements.  Statement No. 130 requires that companies 
(i) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1997
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets increased by approximately $6,105,000 to $110,668,000 at March
31, 1998 from $104,563,000 at June 30, 1997. 

Interest-bearing deposits with other institutions increased from $5,888,000 at
June 30, 1997 to $7,709,067 at March 31, 1998.  This increase of $1,821,000 or
30.9% represents called investment securities which have been allotted to meet
outstanding loan commitments.

Investment securities decreased from $7,899,000 at June 30, 1997 to $2,432,000
at March 31, 1998, or 69.2%.  This decrease in the U.S. Government securities
held to maturity classification was the result of approximately $6.6 million
in securities being called during the nine month period.  Management replaced
only $1 million of these type investment securities with similar instruments
with maturities ranging from three to six years and used the remaining
proceeds to satisfy loan demand.

Net loan receivables increased $8,839,000 or 10.3% from $86,068,000 at June
30, 1997 to $94,906,000 at March 31, 1998.  There were increases in
residential mortgages of $4,045,000, non-residential mortgages of $3,152,000
and $971,000 in participation loans.  Such increases primarily reflected the
economic health of the Bank's market area and the competitive pricing of the
Bank's loan product.  This loan growth was funded by investment securities
being called and increased borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
$3,973,000 also contributed to this funding.

Net office properties and equipment increased $898,000 or 43.7% from
$2,056,000 at June 30, 1997 to $2,953,000 at March 31, 1999.  This is directly
related to preparation for the new branch opening in Wintersville, Ohio.

Deposits increased slightly by $2,541,000 or 3.2% to $82,611,000 at March 31,
1998 from $80,069,000 at June 30, 1997.  This increase primarily represents
deposits accumulated via a new money market product for balances greater than
$10,000 offered at a preferential rate which has grown to $7,541,000 at March
31, 1998 from $5,353,000. Customer preference to this new product is exhibited
by a decline in savings accounts which has offset the growth of this new
product.

Equity capital decreased by $530,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998,
as a result of the purchase of shares of outstanding stock for $894,000 to
fund the restricted stock plan and the purchase of $217,000 of treasury stock. 
Also contributing to the overall decrease was the payment of cash dividends of
$240,000.  This decline was offset by net income of $693,000 and recognition
of shares in the Employee Stock Ownership and Restricted Stock Plans amounting
to $142,000.  Future dividend policies will be determined by the Board of
Directors in light of the earnings and financial condition of the Company,
including applicable governmental regulations and policies.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1998 AND 1997
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income increased $409,000 to $693,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 from $284,000 for the same period ended 1997.  This increase was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $571,000 coupled a
decrease in FDIC insurance of $525,000 offset with an increase in compensation
and employee benefits of $288,000.

Net interest income increased $571,000 or 22.7%, to $3,088,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $2,517,000 for the same period ended
1997.  The increase in interest income resulted primarily from an increase in
earnings on loans of $753,000 or 15.1% and investment securities of $47,000 or
20.8%.  These increases, which were due to an increase in the average
principal balances of $9,838,000 for loans coupled with an increase in yields
on both loans and investment securities of 23 and 24 basis points,
respectively.  Offsetting this increase of interest income was a decline in
interest on interest-bearing deposits with other institutions of $37,000 or
15.7% from $232,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the
$196,000 for the same period ended 1998. 

Interest expense increased $188,000 or 6.3% from $2,996,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 to $3,184,000 for the same period ended 1998.  The
increase was primarily due to an increase in the average volume of
interest-bearing liabilities of $6,296,000 due to the marketing of a new money
market deposit product as previously discussed.  In addition, there was a
$2,322,000 or 32.3% increase in the average balance of advances from the FHLB
to meet the growing loan demand.  This was offset by a decline in the average
balance of savings deposits of $1,706,000 or 10.4%, as customers preferred the
advantages of the new deposit product, as well as a decline the cost of funds
from 4.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 to 4.5% for the same period
ended March 31, 1998.

Based upon management's continuing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the
various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of
economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors, the provision
for loan losses increased by $31,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the same period ended 1997.  See "Risk Elements."

Noninterest income which is comprised principally of service charges on
deposit accounts increased $110,000 or 45.6% to $349,000 as of March 31, 1998
from $240,000 for the same period ended 1997.  Service charges on deposit
accounts increased from $168,000 as of March 31, 1997 to $196,000 as of March
31, 1998 driven by an increase in volume.  The Bank sold fixed rate mortgage
loans in the secondary market during the year which resulted in an increase on
gains on the sale of loans of $60,000.  Other income increased $22,000 or
45.5% primarily due to a $13,000 increase in ATM income as the bank began
charging noncustomer users a $.50 transaction fee during the fourth quarter of
1997.

Noninterest expense overall remained relatively constant.  However, there was
a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums largely attributable to a one
time charge of $470,000 in federal insurance premiums in the September 1996. 
On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law legislation which
included the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by a one time charge to
SAIF-insured institutions of 65.7 basis points per one hundred dollars of
insurable deposits.  A reduced level of insurance premiums is anticipated in
future periods as a result of this one-time charge.

Countering this decrease was an increase of $261,000 or 38.8% in compensation
and benefits due to the hiring of new employees to further diversify the
Bank's operations to meet continually changing customer demands, as well as an
increase of $118,000 attributable to Employee Stock Ownership Plan. 
Professional fees increased by $77,000 or 110.9% due to an increase in
services for compliance with regulatory requirements and employee benefit
plans.  Data processing expense increased $31,000 due to both volume of
transactions and an increase in third party costs.  Occupancy and equipment
increased $35,000 or 14.5% due primarily to an increase in depreciation
expense for equipment.  Other expense increased $108,000 or 23.4% as $27,000
was recognized with the adoption of the Restricted Stock Plan and $18,000 was
recognized with the addition of franchise taxes for the year.  There were also
increases of $18,000 to ATM expense for replacement of ATM cards to Debit
cards and $17,000 of consumer card expense associated with the implementation
of merchant and credit card programs. 

A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global computer
crash that may occur in the year 2000.  Many computer programs that can only
distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (common programming
practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as
the year 1900 and compute payment, interest, or delinquency based on the wrong
date or are expected to unable the compute payment, interest, or delinquency.
Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to our operations.  Data
processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many
other companies.

All of our material data processing that could be affected by this problem is
provided by a third party service bureau.  Our service bureaus has advised us
that it expects to resolve this potential problem before the year 2000. 
However, if this potential problem is not resolved before the year 2000, we
would likely experience significant data processing delays, mistakes, or
failures.  The delays, mistakes, or failures could have a significant adverse
impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.

Income tax expense increased $241,000 to $426,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to $185,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997
due to the higher level of pre-tax income.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1998 AND 1997
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income increased $43,000 or 18.9% to $272,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $229,000 for the same period ended 1997.  This increase
was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $130,000 coupled a
decrease in compensation and benefits of $88,000.

Net interest income increased $130,000 or 11.6% from $949,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,079,000 for the same period ended 1998. 
Interest income on loans increased $294,000 while interest income on
interest-bearing deposits in other institutions and investment securities
decreased $46,000 and $24,000, respectively.  In addition, interest expense on
deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $58,000 and
$35,000, respectively.  This fluctuation within the net interest income
accounts is due to an increase in average interest earning assets over
interest-bearing liabilities of $6,249,000 coupled with an increasing interest
rate spread of 27 basis points due primarily to an increase in loan demand
within the Bank's market area. 

Provision for loan losses increased $2,000 to $13,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to $11,000 for the same period ended March 31,
1997.  This increase is derived from management's continual monitoring of the
quality of its loan portfolio and its determination of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.  In March, 1998, the Board of Directors implemented
a plan to increase the monthly provision for loan losses to $12,500 with the
intent of increasing its allowance for loan losses for the growing loan demand
within the Bank's market area.

Noninterest income increased from $77,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $136,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1998.  This increase is
primarily due to gains on sale of fixed rate mortgage loans of $30,000 and an
increase in volume of service charges on deposit accounts of $16,000.  

Noninterest expense increased $105,000 or 16.2% to $749,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $644,000 for the same period ended
March 31, 1997.  There was an increases of $88,000 or 34.9% to compensation
and employee benefits for those same reasons as discussed previously.  Other
noninterest expense accounts increased marginally during this same time
period.

Income taxes increased $38,000 or 28.1%to $179,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $141,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997.  This
increase was the result of an increase in pre-tax income of $82,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment
of loans, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided from
operations.  While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively predictable
source of funds, deposit flows, and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  In addition,
the Savings Bank invests excess funds in overnight deposits which provide
liquidity to meet lending requirements. 

The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises.
Additional sources of funds include a flex line of credit and a RepoPlus line
of credit with the federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh amounting to
$4.8 million and $10 million, respectively.  In addition, as of March 31,
1998, the Bank had outstanding advances from the FHLB of $11,721,000. 

As of March 31, 1998 the Company has commitments to fund loans of
approximately $4,939,000 as a direct result of the economic health of the
Bank's market area and the competitive pricing of the Bank's loan products.

Management monitors both the Company's and the Bank's total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based and Tier I leverage capital ratios in order to assess compliance
with regulatory guidelines.  At March 31, 1998, both the Company and the Bank
exceeded the minimum risk-based and leverage  capital ratios requirements. 
The Company's and Bank's total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I
leverage ratios are 21.9%, 21.4%, 14.2%, and 16.6%, 16.2%, and 10.7%
respectively at March 31, 1998.

RISK ELEMENT
------------

The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including
nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more past due, other
real estate loans, and repossessed assets.  A loan is classified as nonaccrual
when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about
collectibility of interest and principal.  At the time the accrual of interest
is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. 
Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been renegotiated to
provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the
deterioration of the borrower.

                                                       March 31,    June 30,

                                                      =========    =========

At March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, no real estate or other assets were held
as foreclosed or repossessed property.   

Management monitors impaired loans on a continual basis.  As of March 31,
1997, impaired loans had no material effect on the company's financial
position or results of operations.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 1998, loans increased $8,838,000
and nonperforming loans increased $51,000 while the allowance for loan losses
decreased $29,000 for the same period.  The percentage of allowance for loan
losses to loans outstanding remained relatively stable at .4% for both March
31, 1998 and June 30, 1997. Nonperforming loans are primarily made up of one
to four family residential mortgages.  The collateral requirements on such
loans reduce the risk of potential losses to an acceptable level in
management's opinion.

Management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses at March 31,
1998 is sufficient; however, there can be no assurance that the current
allowance for loan losses will be adequate to absorb all future loan losses. 
The relationship between the allowance for loan losses and outstanding loans
is a function of the credit quality and known risk attributed to the loan
portfolio.  The on-going loan review program and credit approval process is
used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
