FFLC BANCORP, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of the management of FFLC Bancorp, Inc., the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations and other data for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Savings Bank") (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Loan Impairment and Loan Losses. The Company prepares a quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to also identify and value impaired loans in accordance with guidance in the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 and 118. No impaired loans were identified by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 1997 or 1996. An analysis of the change in the allowance for loan losses was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, --------------------------- 1997 1996 ------- ------- Balance at January 1 ................... $ 1,063 977 Provision for loan losses .............. 68 14 Loans charged-off ...................... (8) (3) ------- ------- Balance at March 31 .................... $ 1,123 988 ======= ======= 3. Impact of New Accounting Issues. In June, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125"). That Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. That Statement also provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets as well as extinguishments of liabilities occurring in 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no significant effect on the Company's financial position at March 31, 1997 or result of operations for the three months then ended. FFLC BANCORP, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Continued 4. Per Share Amounts. Income per share of common stock has been determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Shares of common stock purchased by the ESOP and RRP incentive plans are only considered outstanding when the shares are released for allocation to participants. Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in both primary and fully diluted income per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the calculation of income per share: Three Months Ended March 31, --------------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Weighted average shares of common stock issued and outstanding before adjustments for ESOP, RRP and common stock options ................................................ 2,413,260 2,639,284 Adjustment to reflect the effect of unallocated ESOP and RRP shares ..........................................................

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") was formed as the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Savings Bank") (together the "Company") in connection with the Savings Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings bank on January 4, 1994. The Company's consolidated results of operations are primarily those of the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank's principal business continues to be attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with principal repayments on loans and investments and funds generated from operations, primarily in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family owner-occupied homes, mortgage-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, construction loans, consumer and other loans, and multi-family residential mortgage loans. In the first quarter of 1997, the Bank established a commercial lending department staffed with three lenders experienced with commercial lending in the Bank's local community. The focus of the commercial lending department will be to originate commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans, to include equipment, accounts receivable and inventory loans. In addition, the Savings Bank holds investments permitted by federal laws and regulations including securities issued by the U.S. Government and agencies thereof. The Savings Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest on its mortgage loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and interest and dividends on its investment securities. The Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system and its deposits are insured to the applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Savings Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") as its chartering agency, and the FDIC as its deposit insurer. The Savings Bank has 9 full-service locations in Lake and Sumter Counties, Florida. The Savings Bank's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned primarily on its loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. The Savings Bank's operating results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by fee income and by gains or losses on the sale of loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale and foreclosed real estate. The Savings Bank's operating expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, occupancy expenses, deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. The Savings Bank's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities. FFLC BANCORP, INC. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's most liquid assets are cash, amounts due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's lending, investing, operating, and deposit activities during any given period. At March 31, 1997, cash, amounts due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits, totaled $10.0 million. The Savings Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of specified liquid assets equal to a monthly average of not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement is currently 5% but may be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10% depending upon economic conditions and the savings flows of member institutions. OTS regulations also require each member savings institution to maintain an average daily balance of short-term liquid assets at a specified percentage (currently 1%) of the total of its net withdrawable deposits and borrowed funds payable in one year or less. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity requirements. The Savings Bank's liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios for March 31, 1997 were 13.2% and 3.4%, respectively, which exceeded the requirements. The Savings Bank has never been subject to monetary penalties for failure to meet its liquidity requirements. The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds include proceeds from payments and prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from maturities of investment securities, and increases in deposits. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and mortgage and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by local conditions, general interest rates, and regulatory changes. At March 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $7.4 million of loans and to fund the undisbursed portion of loans in process of approximately $9.0 million. The Savings Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its commitments. At March 31, 1997, certificates of deposit which were scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $138.3 million. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of those funds will remain with the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirement administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory- and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Savings Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Savings Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Savings Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Savings Bank to maintain minimum amounts (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to FFLC BANCORP, INC. risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 1997, that the Savings Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of March 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Savings Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Savings Bank must maintain minimum tangible, Tier I (core), Tier I (risk-based) and total risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. FFLC BANCORP, INC. The Savings Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios at March 31, 1997 are also presented in the table.

Customer deposits increased $8.7 million from $282.7 million at December 31, 1996 to $291.4 million at March 31, 1997. The $1.7 million net decrease in stockholders' equity during the three months ended March 31, 1997 resulted from the repurchases of shares FFLC BANCORP, INC. of the Company's stock of $2.6 million, dividends paid of $275,000, and a $127,000 increase in unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of tax effect, all of which was partially offset by net income of $973,000, credits to equity totaling $185,000 related to the stock incentive plans and proceeds of $137,000 from stock options exercised.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 Results of Operations General Operating Results. Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 was $973,000, or $.40 per share, compared to $811,000, or $.31 per share, for the 1996 period. The increase in net income resulted from an increase in net interest income of $313,000, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $68,000 and an increase of $54,000 in the provision for loan losses. Interest Income. Interest income increased $537,000, or 9.0% from $5.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $6.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due to a $22.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding during the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the 1996 period, and a 14 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.52% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, to 7.66% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $224,000 or 7.0%, from $3.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $3.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due to a $26.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $26.1 million partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.79% during the 1996 period to 4.67% during the 1997 period. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $68,000, or 4.4% from the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 to the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $99,000, other noninterest expenses of $28,000 and occupancy expense of $24,000 related to the overall growth of the Company. Those increases were partially offset by a $116,000 decrease in deposit insurance premiums of $116,000 due to a decrease in the assessment rate on deposits from 23.0 cents per $100 in 1996 to 6.48 cents per $100 in 1997. Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision increased from $525,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 (an effective tax rate of 39.3%) to $570,000 (an effective tax rate of 36.9%) for the corresponding period in 1997.
