CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MARCH 31, 1998 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of West Coast Bank (West Coast) with and into F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation). The merger, which was consummated on January 20, 1998, resulted in the Corporation issuing 585,263 shares of common stock. The transaction has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and such financial statements are presented as if the merger had been consummated for all the periods presented. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 1998. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PER SHARE AMOUNTS Per share amounts are adjusted for common stock dividends, including the 5% stock dividend declared on April 9, 1998. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared, by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the beginning of the year or date of issuance and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Such adjustments to net income and the weighted average number of shares of common stock are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per share.

FAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of FAS No. 130 had no impact on the Corporation's net income or stockholders' equity. FAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Corporation's available for sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of FAS No. 130. The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 1997 1998 -------- -------- Net income $7,450 $ 7,050 Other comprehensive income: Unrealized gains (losses) on securities: Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the period 873 (1,778) Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income (346) (374) -------- -------- Other comprehensive income 527 (2,152) -------- -------- Comprehensive income $7,977 $ 4,898 ======== ======== MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On April 6, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement with Citizens Bank & Trust (Citizens), a community bank headquartered in Clearwater, Florida with assets of $116.0 million. The merger agreement calls for an exchange of 1.515 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each share of Citizens Holding Company, parent company of Citizens, common stock. The Corporation anticipates issuing approximately 1,025,344 shares of its common stock. Citizens will be merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, First National Bank of Florida (FNB Florida), formerly Indian Rocks National Bank, in Largo, Florida. The transaction, which is expected to close during the third quarter of 1998 pending regulatory and shareholder approval, is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests On February 2, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement with Seminole Bank (Seminole), a community bank headquartered in Seminole, Florida with assets of $93.7 million. The merger agreement calls for an exchange of 1.530 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each share of Seminole common stock. The Corporation anticipates issuing approximately 855,308 shares of its common stock. Seminole will be merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, FNB Florida. The transaction, which is expected to close during the second quarter of 1998 pending regulatory and shareholder approval, is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. On January 20, 1998, the Corporation completed its merger with West Coast, headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with assets totaling $107.4 million. Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of West Coast's common stock was converted into 1.0 share of the Corporation's common stock. A total of 585,263 shares of the Corporation's common stock were issued. Results for prior years are restated to reflect this acquisition as a pooling-of-interests. The following table sets forth separate company financial information for the year ended December 31, 1997 (in thousands): F.N.B. Corporation West Coast ----------- ---------- Net interest income $111,030 $4,013 Net income 33,123 879 The Corporation regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and holds discussions with, various potential acquisition candidates and as a general rule the Corporation publicly announces such acquisitions only after a definitive agreement has been reached. PART I ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY The Corporation monitors its liquidity position on an ongoing basis to assure that it is able to meet the need for funds at all times. Given the monetary nature of its assets and liabilities and the significant source of liquidity provided by its securities portfolio, the Corporation has sufficient sources of funds available to meet its cash needs. Additionally, the Corporation has external sources of funds available should it desire to use them. These include approved lines of credit with several major domestic banks, of which $32.0 million was unused at March 31, 1998. To further meet its liquidity needs, the Corporation also has access to the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as other uncommitted funding sources. The financial performance of the Corporation is subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations. This interest rate risk arises due to differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities subject to pricing over a specified period, the amount of change in individual interest rates and the embedded options in all financial instruments. The principal objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Corporation. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for achieving this objective. The Corporation uses an asset/liability model to quantify its balance sheet strategies and their associated risks. Net interest income simulation is the principal tool utilized for these purposes. Gap analysis is employed as a secondary diagnostic measurement. The Corporation attempts to mitigate interest rate risk through asset deployment, asset and liability pricing and matched maturity funding. A gradual 300 basis point decrease in interest rates is estimated to cause a decline in net interest income of .6% or $800,000 as compared to net interest income if interest rates were unchanged over the next twelve months. This low level of variation is within the Corporation's policy limits. This simulation analysis assumed that savings and checking interest rates have a low correlation to changes in market rates of interest and that certain asset prepayments changed as refinancing incentives evolved. Further, in the event of a change of such a magnitude in interest rates, the ALCO would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the greater uncertainty of other specific actions that would be taken, the analysis assumed no change in the Corporation's asset/liability composition. The gap analysis which follows is based on the amortization, maturity or repricing of the Corporation's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Non-maturity deposits have been allocated to represent their lower sensitivity to changes in market interest rates than other adjustable rate instruments. The cumulative gap represents the difference between these assets and liabilities over a specified time period. Based on the cumulative one year gap and assuming no change in asset/liability composition, a decrease in interest rates would be expected to result in slightly lower net interest income. The gap position is within the Corporation's policy limits. Following is the gap analysis as of March 31, 1998 (in thousands): Within 4-12 1-5 Over 3 Months Months Years 5 years Total --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- INTEREST EARNING ASSETS Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 1,759 $ 100 $ 1,859 Federal funds sold 75,331 75,331 Loans held for sale 9,128 9,128 Securities: Available for sale 38,278 89,316 $ 221,163 $ 76,557 425,314 Held to maturity 20,170 32,497 52,668 6,723 112,058 Loans, net of unearned 597,223 525,504 768,045 121,270 2,012,042 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 741,889 647,417 1,041,876 204,550 2,635,732 Other assets 209,874 209,874 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 741,889 $ 647,417 $1,041,876 $ 414,424 $2,845,606 ========= ========= ========== ========== ========== INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES Deposits: Interest checking $ 103,004 $ 264,866 $ 367,870 Savings 220,304 427,649 647,953 Time deposits 214,395 $ 535,987 $ 321,592 1,071,974 Short-term borrowings 115,029 462 115,491 Long-term debt 10,920 25,479 26,935 9,464 72,798 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 663,652 561,466 348,527 702,441 2,276,086 Other liabilities 328,182 328,182 Stockholders' equity 241,338 241,338 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 663,652 $ 561,466 $ 348,527 $1,271,961 $2,845,606 ========= ========= ========== ========== ========== PERIOD GAP $ 78,237 $ 85,951 $ 693,349 $ (857,537) ========= ========= ========== ========== CUMULATIVE GAP $ 78,237 $ 164,188 $ 857,537 ========= ========= ========== CUMULATIVE GAP AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL ASSETS 2.75% 5.77% 30.14% ========= ========= ========== RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS/RATE SENSITIVE LIABILITIES (CUMULATIVE) 1.12 1.13 1.54 1.16 ========= ========= ========== ========== CAPITAL RESOURCES The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The Corporation seeks to maintain a strong capital base to support its growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence. Capital management is a continuous process. Since December 31, 1997, stockholders' equity has increased $4.6 million as a result of earnings retention. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the return on average equity on a recurring income basis was 12.78%. Total cash dividends declared represented 38.42% of net income. Book value per common share was $14.67 at March 31, 1998, compared to $14.54 at December 31, 1997.

Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. It is the Corporation's policy to discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid, or the loan becomes both well secured and in the process of collection. Consumer installment loans are generally charged off against the allowance for loan losses upon reaching 90 to 180 days past due, depending on the installment loan type. Restructured loans are loans in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress. Following is a summary of non-performing assets (dollars in thousands): MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 1998 1997 ---------- ------------ Non-performing assets: Non-accrual loans $ 8,068 $ 8,103 Restructured loans 1,504 1,314 ------- ------- Total non-performing loans 9,572 9,417 Other real estate owned 3,397 4,027 ------- ------- Total non-performing assets $12,969 $13,444 ======= ======= Asset quality ratios: Non-performing loans as percent of total loans .48% .49% Non-performing assets as percent of total assets .46% .49% Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Corporation's loan review and work-out process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the present value of projected future cash flows or the value of any underlying collateral. Losses are recognized where appropriate. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses includes the evaluation of the loan portfolio based on internally generated loan review reports and the historical loss experience of the remaining balances of the various homogeneous loan pools which comprise the loan portfolio. Specific factors which are evaluated include the previous loan loss experience with the customer, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the loan, the collateral position of the loan, the quality of financial information supplied by the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower. Historical loss experience on the remaining portfolio segments is considered in conjunction with current status of economic conditions, loan loss trends, delinquency and non-accrual trends, credit administration and concentrations of credit risk. Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------- 1998 1997 -------- --------- Balance at beginning of period $28,296 $28,649 Charge-offs (1,533) (2,041) Recoveries 484 260 ------- ------- Net charge-offs (1,049) (1,781) Provision for loan losses 1,679 2,273 ------- ------- Balance at end of period $28,926 $29,141 ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses to: Total loans, net of unearned income 1.44% 1.48% Non-performing loans 302.19% 309.45% The higher level of the provision for loan losses in 1997 resulted from the consistent application of the Corporation's charge-off policy and methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to West Coast Bancorp, Inc. REGULATORY MATTERS Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 1998, that the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries are all "well capitalized". As of December 31, 1997, the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries have been categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Following are capital ratios as of March 31, 1998 for the Corporation (dollars in thousands): To Be Well Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- ------- Total Capital $260,880 13.5% $154,108 8.0% $192,636 10.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 226,725 11.8% 77,054 4.0% 115,581 6.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 226,725 8.2% 110,776 4.0% 138,470 5.0% (to average assets) The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's and banking subsidiaries' capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. FINANCIAL INFORMATION SUMMARY Net income for the first three months of 1998 was $7.5 million compared to $7.1 million for the first three months of 1997. Basic earnings per share were $.46 and $.45 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, while diluted earnings per share were $.43 for both of those periods. Highlights for the first three months of 1998 include: * Net income of $7.6 million, excluding merger related costs of $170,000, for the first three months of 1998, providing a return on average assets of 1.11% and a return on average equity of 12.78%. * A 35.4% decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the first three months of 1997. * A $31.2 million or 9.4% increase in net interest earning assets as compared to the first three months of 1997.

(2) Average balance includes non-accrual loans. Loans consist of average total loans less average unearned income. The amount of loan fees included in interest income on loans is immaterial. (3) Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the difference between total interest earned and total interest paid by total interest earning assets. Net interest income, the Corporation's primary source of earnings, is the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest earning assets, primarily loans and securities, exceed interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. During the first three months of 1998, net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $30.5 million, representing a 4.98% increase over the first three months of 1997. Net interest income consisted of interest income of $54.3 million and interest expense of $23.8 million for the first three months of 1998 compared to $50.1 million and $21.0 million for each, respectively, for the first three months of 1997. Net interest margin fell to 4.76% at March 31, 1998 from 4.97% at March 31, 1997, as the yield on total interest earning assets declined by 9 basis points and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 14 basis points. Strong competitive factors resulted in an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans and a 12 basis point increase in rates paid on deposits. The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes and rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three months ending March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ending March 31, 1997 (in thousands): Volume Rate Net ------- ------- ------- INTEREST INCOME Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 7 $ (15) $ (8) Federal funds sold (153) 39 (114) Securities: Taxable 996 70 1,066 Non-taxable (40) 182 142 Loans 3,926 (784) 3,142 ------- ------- ------- 4,736 (508) 4,228 ------- ------- ------- INTEREST EXPENSE Deposits: Interest bearing demand 185 555 740 Savings 370 (98) 272 Other time 1,216 192 1,408 Short-term borrowings (276) 239 (37) Long-term debt 495 (97) 398 1,990 791 2,781 ------- ------- ------- NET CHANGE $ 2,746 $(1,299) $ 1,447 ======= ======= ======= The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes. Interest income on loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased 7.49% from $41.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $45.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase was the result of an increase in average loans of 9.66% over this same period last year. Interest expense on deposits increased $2.4 million or 12.86% for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was the result of an increase in average deposits of 9.41% over this same three month period. The average balance in savings and time deposits increased $143.6 million as the average balance in interest bearing demand deposits increased by $32.7 million. Interest expense on long-term debt increased $244,000 or 32.36% for these same periods due to an increase in average long-term debt of 55.53%, which was partially offset by a decline in rate paid of 113 basis points. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.7 million for the first three months of 1998, as compared to $2.3 million for the first three months of 1997. In connection with the Corporation's 1997 acquisition of West Coast Bancorp, Inc. (WCBI), the Corporation recognized an additional provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 1997 after applying the Corporation's allowance for loan loss policy and methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance to WCBI. Non-interest income increased by 13.27% during the first three months of 1998 as compared to the first three months of 1997, primarily due to an increase of 13.22% in service charges and other fees. Total non-interest expenses increased 11.33% during the first three months of 1998, compared to the first three months of 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits as well as other miscellaneous operating costs. Salaries and personnel expense increased 12.04% during the first three months of 1998 as compared to the first three months of 1997. This increase was due to increases for incentive compensation as well as normal annual salary adjustments. Included in other non-interest expenses during the first three months of 1998 was $170,000 for expenses related to the affiliation with West Coast. These expenses were primarily legal and investment banking costs associated with the structuring and completion of the merger. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.4 million, providing an effective tax rate of 31.25% compared to 32.50% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. YEAR 2000 During the quarter, the Corporation continued to implement its Year 2000 Bank Strategy and Project Plan as more fully described in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report. The Corporation currently believes that modifications to existing systems, conversion to new systems and vendor compliance upgrades will be resolved on a timely basis and related costs will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
