CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of West Coast Bank (West Coast), Seminole Bank (Seminole) and Citizens Holding Corporation (Citizens) with and into F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation). The mergers, which were consummated on January 20, 1998, May 29, 1998 and August 31, 1998, resulted in the Corporation issuing 585,263, 855,454 and 1,012,326 shares of common stock, respectively. The transactions have been accounted for as poolings-of-interests, and such financial statements are presented as if the mergers 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 October 29, 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 have been adjusted for common stock dividends, including the 5% stock dividend declared on April 9, 1998 and paid on May 24, 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income $ 7,702 $ 8,832 $23,210 $25,245 Other comprehensive income: Unrealized gains on securities: Unrealized holding gains arising during the period 2,788 1,983 4,151 2,122 Less: reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income (203) (113) (784) (487) ------- ------- ------- ------- Other comprehensive income 2,585 1,870 3,367 1,635 ------- ------- ------- ------- Comprehensive income $10,287 $10,702 $26,577 $26,880 ======= ======= ======= ======= MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On August 21, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement with Guaranty Bank & Trust (Guaranty), a community bank headquartered in Venice, Florida with assets of $148.0 million. The merger agreement calls for the exchange of the Corporation's common stock for each share of Guaranty common stock. The exchange ratio, which is based upon the average price of the Corporation's common stock prior to closing, ranges from 1.121 to 1.536 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each share of Guaranty's common stock. At September 30, 1998, Guaranty had 756,118 shares of common stock outstanding and options covering 58,631 shares of common stock. Guaranty will be merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, West Coast Bank to form West Coast Guaranty Bank N.A. The transaction, which is expected to close during the first quarter of 1999 pending regulatory and shareholder approval, is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. On August 31, 1998, the Corporation completed its affiliation with Citizens Holding Corporation (Citizens), headquartered in Clearwater, Florida with assets of $135.0 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Citizens' common stock was converted into 1.743 shares of the Corporation's common stock. A total of 1,012,325 shares of the Corporation's common stock were issued. Citizens principal asset, Citizens Bank and Trust, was merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, First National Bank of Florida (FNB Florida), formerly Indian Rocks National Bank. Results for prior years are restated to reflect this acquisition as a pooling-of-interests. On May 29, 1998, the Corporation completed its merger with Seminole, headquartered in Seminole, Florida with assets totaling $91.5 million. Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of Seminole's common stock was converted into 1.530 shares of the Corporation's common stock. A total of 855,454 shares of the Corporation's common shares were issued. Seminole was merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, FNB Florida. Results for prior years are restated to reflect this acquisition 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. The F.N.B. Corporation results exclude the effects of any mergers which occurred subsequent to December 31, 1997 (in thousands): F.N.B.

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 $35.0 million was unused at September 30, 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 over the next twelve months is estimated to cause a decline in net interest income of .5% or $600,000 as compared to net interest income if interest rates were unchanged. 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 September 30, 1998 (in thousands): Within 4-12 1-5 Over 3 Months Months Years 5 years Total -------- -------- ---------- ---------- --------- INTEREST EARNING ASSETS Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 4,949 $ 4,949 Federal funds sold 15,322 15,322 Mortgage loans held for sale 6,038 6,038 Securities: Available for sale 50,315 $118,836 $ 240,927 $ 85,818 495,896 Held to maturity 23,890 30,148 38,643 10,927 103,608 Loans, net of unearned 645,612 614,921 910,496 93,442 2,264,471 -------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 746,126 763,905 1,190,066 190,187 2,890,284 Other assets 243,179 243,179 -------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $746,126 $763,905 $1,190,066 $ 433,366 $3,133,463 ======== ======== ========== ========== ========== INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES Deposits: Interest checking $127,366 $ 341,551 $ 468,917 Savings 220,968 404,961 625,929 Time deposits 259,357 $608,327 $ 263,417 555 1,131,656 Short-term borrowings 188,639 149 127 188,915 Long-term debt 8,425 26,790 26,433 10,099 71,747 -------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 804,755 635,266 289,850 757,293 2,487,164 Other liabilities 373,996 373,996 Stockholders' equity 272,303 272,303 -------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $804,755 $635,266 $ 289,850 $1,403,592 $3,133,463 ======== ======== ========== ========== ========== PERIOD GAP $(58,629) $128,639 $ 900,216 $ (970,226) ======== ======== ========== ========== CUMULATIVE GAP $(58,629) $ 70,010 $ 970,226 ======== ======== ========== CUMULATIVE GAP AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL ASSETS 1.87% 2.23% 30.96% ==== ==== ===== RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS/RATE SENSITIVE LIABILITIES (CUMULATIVE) .93 1.05 1.56 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 $13.8 million as a result of earnings retention. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the return on average equity on a recurring earnings basis was 13.27%. Recurring earnings exclude merger related costs of $3.1 million, net of tax. Total cash dividends declared represented 35.70% of recurring earnings. Book value per common share was $14.80 at September 30, 1998, compared to $14.14 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, all unpaid interest is reversed. 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): SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 1998 1997 ------------- ------------ Non-performing assets: Non-accrual loans $10,346 $ 8,340 Restructured loans 1,840 1,345 ------- ------- Total non-performing loans 12,186 9,685 Other real estate owned 5,266 4,027 ------- ------- Total non-performing assets $17,452 $13,712 Asset quality ratios: Non-performing loans as percent of total loans .54% .46% Non-performing assets as percent of total assets .56% .46% 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 fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance at beginning of period $31,022 $30,590 $29,906 $30,231 Reduction arising from the sale of a subsidiary and loans (2,479) (3,922) Charge-offs (1,677) (2,622) (4,704) (7,527) Recoveries 218 294 1,042 1,057 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net charge-offs (1,459) (2,328) (3,662) (6,470) Provision for loan losses 1,959 2,464 5,278 8,408 ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of period $31,522 $28,247 $31,522 $28,247 ======= ======= ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses to: Total loans, net of unearned income 1.39% 1.35% Non-performing loans 302.11% 291.66% 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., which was merged into the Corporation in April of 1997. 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 September 30, 1998, that the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries are all "well capitalized". As of June 30, 1998, 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 September 30, 1998 for the Corporation (dollars in thousands): To Be Well For Capital Capitalized Under Adequacy Prompt Corrective Actual Purposes Action Provisions --------------- -------------- ----------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----- Total Capital $292,533 13.4% $174,786 8.0% $218,483 10.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 255,166 11.7% 87,393 4.0% 131,090 6.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 255,166 8.3% 123,205 4.0% 154,006 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 nine months of 1998 was $23.2 million compared to $25.2 million for the first nine months of 1997. Basic earnings per share were $1.28 and $1.44 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, while diluted earnings per share were $1.22 and $1.37 for those same periods. Several non-recurring items are included in these results, including $3.1 million of merger costs in 1998 and a $5.3 million gain on the sale of a subsidiary and $4.4 million of merger related and other non-recurring charges in 1997, all net of tax. Excluding these non-recurring items, net income was $26.3 million and $24.3 million for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.38 and $1.32 for the same periods. Highlights for the first nine months of 1998 include: * A return on average assets of 1.15% and a return on average equity of 13.27%, both based on recurring earnings. * A 37.23% decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the first nine months of 1997. This decrease includes a $1.7 million provision taken in 1997 in order to consistently apply the Corporation's charge-off policy and methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to West Coast Bancorp, Inc. * A $42.2 million or 11.46% increase in net interest earning assets as compared to the first nine months of 1997, which offset the impact of a declining net interest margin. During the comparable nine month periods, the Corporation's net interest margin fell 24 basis points. FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1998 AS COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1997: The following table provides information regarding the average balances and yields and rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities (dollars in thousands): Nine Months Ended September 30 1998 1997 ------------------------- ------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate ---------- -------- ----- ---------- -------- ----- ASSETS Interest earning assets: Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 5,926 $ 236 5.31% $ 3,422 $ 126 4.91% Federal funds sold 66,723 2,776 5.55 65,277 2,711 5.54 Securities: Taxable 502,433 23,296 6.20 440,225 20,586 6.25 Non-taxable (1) 82,321 3,654 5.92 79,757 3,512 5.87 Loans (1) (2) 2,176,273 147,546 9.06 1,942,778 134,980 9.29 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Total interest earning assets 2,833,676 177,508 8.37 2,531,459 161,915 8.55 Cash and due from banks 92,032 85,340 Allowance for loan losses (30,908) (31,173) Premises and equipment 81,535 60,153 Other assets 74,400 60,494 ---------- ---------- $3,050,735 $2,706,273 LIABILITIES Interest bearing liabilities: Deposits: Interest bearing demand $ 487,425 $ 7,910 2.17 $ 342,677 $ 5,927 2.31 Savings 600,328 14,678 3.27 618,676 12,916 2.79 Other time 1,133,311 46,421 5.48 1,029,618 42,027 5.46 Short-term borrowings 128,196 4,989 5.20 125,286 4,539 4.84 Long-term debt 73,942 3,477 6.27 46,920 2,665 7.57 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Total interest bearing liabilities 2,423,202 77,475 4.27 2,163,177 68,074 4.21 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Non-interest bearing demand deposits 321,546 274,061 Other liabilities 41,199 35,922 ---------- ---------- 2,785,947 2,473,160 ---------- ---------- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 264,788 233,113 ---------- ---------- $3,050,735 $2,706,273 ========== ========== Net interest earning assets $ 410,474 $ 368,282 ========== ========== Net interest income $100,033 $ 93,941 ======== ======== Net interest spread 4.10% 4.34% ==== ==== Net interest margin (3) 4.72% 4.96% ==== ==== (1) The amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% adjusted for certain federal tax preferences. (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 nine months of 1998, net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $100.0 million, representing a 6.60% increase over the first nine months of 1997. Net interest income consisted of interest income of $177.5 million and interest expense of $77.5 million for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $161.9 million and $68.1 million for each, respectively, for the first nine months of 1997. Net interest margin fell to 4.72% at September 30, 1998 from 4.96% at September 30, 1997, as the yield on total interest earning assets declined by 18 basis points and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 6 basis points. Strong competitive factors and recent moves by the Federal Reserve Board to reduce interest rates resulted in a 23 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans and a 6 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 nine months ending September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ending September 30, 1997 (in thousands): Volume Rate Net ------- ------- ------- INTEREST INCOME Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 99 $ 11 $ 110 Federal funds sold 60 5 65 Securities: Taxable 2,873 (163) 2,710 Non-taxable 112 30 142 Loans 15,826 (3,260) 12,566 ------- ------- ------- 18,970 (3,377) 15,593 ------- ------- ------- INTEREST EXPENSE Deposits: Interest bearing demand 2,315 (332) 1,983 Savings (367) 2,129 1,762 Other time 4,240 154 4,394 Short-term borrowings 107 343 450 Long-term debt 1,157 (345) 812 ------- ------- ------- 7,452 1,949 9,401 ------- ------- ------- NET CHANGE $11,518 $(5,326) $ 6,192 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 9.31% from $135.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $147.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase was the result of an increase in average loans of 12.02% as the average yield declined by 23 basis points over the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits increased $8.1 million or 13.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was the result of an increase in average deposits of 11.56% over the same nine month period. The average balance in interest bearing demand and time deposits increased by $144.4 million and $103.7 million, respectively. The average balance in non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $47.5 million. Interest expense on long-term debt increased $812,000 or 30.47% for these same periods due to a $27.0 million increase in long-term debt, which was partially offset by a decline in the rate paid of 130 basis points. The provision for loan losses totaled $5.3 million for the first nine months of 1998, as compared to $8.4 million for the first nine 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 of approximately $1.7 million, during the second quarter of 1997 after applying the Corporation's allowance for loan loss policy and methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance to WCBI. After considering this additional provision, the reduction in the provision of $1.4 million reflects the Corporation's strong asset quality. Non-interest income increased by 19.52% during the first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first nine months of 1997, primarily due to increases of $1.7 million and $1.3 million in service charges and other fees and gain on sale of loans, respectively. Additionally, the Corporation recognized $965,000 of income relating to it's equity investment in Sun Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company headquartered in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. Total non-interest expenses increased 10.34% during the first nine months of 1998, compared to the first nine months of 1997. The increase was attributable to the full year recognition of operating expenses associated with Mercantile Bank of Southwest Florida and Indian Rocks National Bank. Operating costs for these acquisitions were not recognized until after the closing of each transaction during the fourth quarter of 1997. Included in non-interest expenses during the first nine months of 1998 was $3.0 million for expenses related to the affiliations with West Coast, Seminole and Citizens. Included in non-interest expenses during the first nine months of 1997 was $1.1 million for expenses related to the affiliation with West Coast Bancorp, Inc. These expenses were primarily legal and investment banking costs associated with the structuring and completion of the mergers. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $11.7 million, providing an effective tax rate of 33.52% compared to 31.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in the effective tax rate reflects the higher level of non-deductible merger related expense recognized in 1998 over the same period in 1997. THIRD QUARTER OF 1998 AS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER OF 1997: During the third quarter of 1998, net interest income increased $2.8 million or 9.18% over the third quarter of 1997. Total interest income increased $6.2 million or 11.69%, primarily the result of an increase in loan volume. Total interest expense increased $3.4 million or 15.01% during the third quarter of 1998, compared to the same period of 1997. Interest expense on deposits accounted for the majority of this increase, $3.0 million, due to an increase in average deposits. The provision for loan losses totaled $2.0 million for the third quarter of 1998, as compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 1997. Non-interest income increased 17.34% during the third quarter of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997. Total non-interest expenses increased 26.57% during the third quarter of 1998, compared to the third quarter of 1997. The increase was attributable to operating costs associated with Mercantile Bank of Southwest Florida and Indian Rocks National Bank, which were acquired during the fourth quarter of 1997 and not reflected within the third quarter results for 1997. Included in non-interest expenses during the third quarter of 1998 was $1.5 million for expenses related to the affiliation with Citizens. These expenses were primarily legal and investment banking costs associated with the structuring and completion of the mergers. Income tax expense totaled $3.8 million during the quarter providing an effective tax rate of 32.27% compared to 31.31% in 1997. The increase in the effective tax rate in 1998 reflects the recognition of non-deductible merger costs during the third quarter of 1998. Net income totaled $7.7 million for the third quarter of 1998, compared to $8.8 million for the third quarter of 1997. Excluding the impact of the non-recurring items, net income totaled $9.2 million for the third quarter of 1998. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 (Y2K) Issue is the result of computer programs being written using date fields consisting of only two digits rather than four. Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than year 2000. This could result in system failures and temporary interruptions in the processing of transactions. The Y2K Issue is not only an internal issue but also affects third parties including customers, counter parties, service providers and vendors. Because the Y2K Issue poses an unprecedented and profound enterprise wide challenge for every organization, the Corporation formed a Y2K Committee. The Y2K Committee has developed a Year 2000 Enterprise Wide Project Plan (Y2K Plan). The Y2K Plan addresses both internal and external technology. In connection with the Y2K Plan, the Corporation has completed its inventory and assessment of all internal technologies, including both software and hardware. Each system was assigned a significance rating as to the degree of criticality. Formal detailed test plans for systems with significance ratings of a critical nature have been completed. Such systems include core processing and ancillary systems required to sustain operations. By the beginning of the new millennium, each of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries will be processing on either of two core processing systems. The Corporation's northern banking affiliates will continue to process transactions on their existing core processing system. During the second quarter the Corporation made the strategic decision to convert each of the Florida banking affiliates to a new core processing system over the next fifteen month period. The decision to convert was based in part on the number of different systems currently being utilized by the Florida banking affiliates and the expiration of the Corporation's primary Florida core processing contract. The Corporation has received a third party certification and written representations from both vendors that each system is Y2K compliant. The Corporation will be participating in test verifications of each core system during the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. The Corporation continues to develop its contingency plan which is dependent upon the results of testing and anticipates utilizing the two corporate wide core processing systems as contingencies for each other. Phases I and II of the contingency plan, organizational planning and business impact analysis, were completed as of September 30, 1998. During July of 1998, the Corporation's consumer finance subsidiary, Regency Finance Company (Regency), selected a third party vendor to support all of its future core application requirements. These core applications will include loans, insurance and the Corporation's subordinated note program. Regency's decision to select a new system was based upon the system's ability to support new lending products as well as the operating efficiencies resulting from real- time centralized processing. The vendor has provided a written warranty to Regency that it is Y2K compliant. The system will be installed during the first quarter of 1999. With respect to external technology, the Y2K Plan provides for the evaluation and assessment of all significant funds takers, including large borrowing customers and bond issuers, and funds providers, including contingency lines of credit and deposit accounts. All project plans for funds takers and providers have been substantially completed with continued monitoring to occur. An integral part of the Corporation's funds provider project plan includes a Customer Awareness Program. This program was developed to assure customer confidence and avert reputation and liquidity risk. The program was not only developed to educate the Corporation's customers, but also its employees in responding to customer inquiries. The Y2K Plan includes due diligence procedures as it relates to the fiduciary responsibilities of the Corporation's investment and trust department, including such activities as settlement transactions, remittance of bond payments and transactions related to mutual funds and other securities. Finally, the Y2K plan addresses the Corporation's service providers, including significant suppliers and vendors. Currently, the Corporation is in the process of rating each service provider, assessing their ability to be Y2K ready and developing a contingency plan for those in question. While this process is in its early stages, there is a reluctance by the service providers to expressly certify to Y2K readiness. The Corporation's assessment of all significant service providers and the identification of contingency providers is currently in process. The Corporation's current assessment of cost associated with the completion of its Y2K Plan is not considered by management to be material to the Corporation's future operations. The cost of completing the Corporation's Y2K Plan and the dates on which all procedures will be completed are based on management's best estimates. These estimates were derived utilizing various assumptions about future events, including the continued availability of resources, external technology modification plans and other significant factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS No material pending legal proceedings exist to which the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is the subject, except ordinary routine proceedings which are incidental to the ordinary conduct of business. In the opinion of management, pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable ITEM 5.
