The purpose of the annual report is to present you with detailed information regarding FFLC Bancorp, Inc., and to describe ongoing activities of the Company. The year 1998 was an excellent year in terms of financial performance by the Company. Each quarter of the year set a new record for quarterly profit, resulting in record earnings for the full year. The Company's subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank, enjoyed a year of increases in both loan volume and deposits. The Bank ended the year with total assets greater in amount than ever and with strong momentum going into 1999. For FFLC Bancorp, earnings for the year totaled a record $4.4 million, a 17% increase in net earnings over 1997, which had been the previous record with earnings of $3.8 million. Basic earnings per share for 1998 were $1.22 compared to $1.01 for 1997. Growth of the Bank has been a primary focus and we achieved continued success this past year. During 1998, loan originations totaled $198.7 million, a gain of 29% above the prior year. The Bank's residential loan volume amounted to $109.2 million, an increase of 14% above 1997. Commercial loans originated during the year totaled $58.9 million, up 82% from 1997. Consumer lending also enjoyed increased volume, with total originations of $27.3 million, a gain of 18% above the prior year. Total loans outstanding at year-end were $401.5 million, an increase of 22%. As you will recall, we started the commercial lending division at the Bank in 1997 and the large percentage gain in that area is to be expected in such a new division. We also achieved growth in the Bank's deposit division. For the year, deposits increased to a record of $351.0 million, a gain of $35.6 million, or 11%. As I mentioned in the 1997 annual report, the Bank has been placing additional emphasis on attracting checking and other types of transaction accounts. For 1998, we posted nearly half of the deposit gain in transaction accounts. We continue to expand the Bank facilities in the Central Florida market. During the first half of 1999, First Federal will open three new branch offices. The first is in Inverness, the county seat of Citrus County. That location was purchased as part of the NationsBank/Barnett Bank disposition of branch offices. Citrus County is to the west of the two counties currently served by First Federal and is a natural geographic extension for the Bank. The second location is Bushnell, the county seat of Sumter County, located in the southern half of that county. The Bushnell branch will have a storefront location in a new Winn-Dixie shopping center and will complement the Bank's existing Wildwood branch located in the northern half of Sumter County. The third office is being constructed on the grounds of a new Winn-Dixie shopping center at the southern end of Lake County. That is an area experiencing considerable growth in population, and ours will be only the second bank in the immediate area. 4 The news media has been giving considerable attention to the impact of the rollover from the year 1999 to 2000. We have been working for over two years in preparing for the century change and the data processing firm that provides the bulk of the Bank's data processing has been working at it for an even longer period of time. Last November, First Federal and many other bank clients of the data processing firm conducted extensive testing. We advanced our computers in time to January 3, 2000, and performed all manner of transactions on deposit accounts, loan accounts, and general ledger accounts. I am pleased to say the test proved to be successful. Although there were minor problems with some reports printed following the test, all transactions were successfully performed. While we are pleased with the success of the test, we are nevertheless continuing to work on preparation for the year 2000. We have upgraded our computer network system and have replaced all non-compliant hardware. While we have confidence that our systems will work properly, we have been preparing contingency plans in the event that there are temporary interruptions of power or communications. More than ever, I think it is worth reminding our depositors that no one has ever lost a penny in an account insured by the FDIC. Customers have trusted First Federal for over sixty-five years, and we believe that the Bank continues to be the safest place for your money. The directors, officers and staff of FFLC Bancorp appreciate the support of our stockholders over the past five years. Our focus remains on profitably serving the banking needs of our local communities, and we believe we have made continued progress to that end. Cordially yours, /s/Stephen T.

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, commercial loans, securities and, to a lesser extent, construction loans, consumer and other loans, and multi-family residential mortgage 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 community-oriented savings institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Savings Bank's deposit gathering and lending markets are primarily concentrated in the communities surrounding its full service offices located in Lake, Sumter and Citrus counties in central Florida. Management believes that its offices are located in communities that generally can be characterized as rural service and retirement communities with residential neighborhoods comprised predominately of one-to-four-family residences. The Savings Bank is the largest (by asset size) locally-based financial institution in Lake County, and serves its market area with a wide selection of residential mortgage loans and other retail financial services. Management considers the Savings Bank's reputation for financial strength and customer service as a major advantage in attracting and retaining customers in its market area and believes it benefits from its community orientation as well as its established deposit base and level of core deposits. The Savings Bank had net income of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to net income of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank had total assets of $463.8 million, an increase of 16% over total assets of $400.2 million at December 31, 1997. That increase resulted primarily from an $73.6 million, or 23%, increase in loans receivable from $315.4 million at December 31, 1997 to $389 million at December 31, 1998, reflecting increased local loan demand. Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.2 million or 46% from $15.7 million to $22.9 million. Securities decreased $18.2 million or 31.1% during 1998. Deposits increased $35.6 million, or 11%, from $315.4 million at December 31, 1997 to $351 million at December 31, 1998. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank increased $26 million, while other borrowed funds increased $789,000 for a net increase of $26.8 million or 89% in borrowings. Stockholders' equity increased $1.8 million. 8 REGULATION AND LEGISLATION General The operating results of the Savings Bank are affected by Federal laws and regulations and the Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), as its chartering agency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), as the deposit insurer. The Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC under the SAIF ("Savings Association Insurance Fund"). The Savings Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC to test the Savings Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. The activities of savings institutions are governed by the Home Owner's Loan Act, as amended (the "HOLA"), and, in certain respects, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA"). A more complete description of the HOLA and FDIA is included in the Form 10-K. Capital Requirements The OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital standard; a 3% leverage (core capital) ratio; and an 8% risk-based capital standard. Under the OTS final rule implementing FDICIA, generally, a well-capitalized institution is defined as one that meets the following capital standards: a 5% tangible capital standard; a 6% leverage (core capital) ratio; and a 10% risk-based capital standard, and has not been notified by its federal banking agency that it is in a "troubled condition." At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank met each of its capital requirements and met the criteria of a "well-capitalized" institution as defined above. Insurance of Deposit Accounts The FDIC has adopted a risk-based deposit insurance system that assesses deposit insurance premiums according to the level of risk involved in an institution's activities. An institution's risk category is based upon whether the institution is classified as "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" or "less than adequately capitalized" and one of three supervisory subcategories within each capital group. The supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned is based on a supervisory evaluation and information which the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance fund. Effective January 1, 1997, the FDIC lowered the annual assessment rates for SAIF members to 0 to 27 basis points, as discussed below. The FDIC has authority to raise premiums if deemed necessary. If such action is taken, it could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the institution. On September 30, 1996, legislation was enacted which, among other things, imposed a special one-time assessment on SAIF member institutions, including the Savings Bank, to recapitalize the SAIF and spread the obligations for payments of Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds across all SAIF and Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") members. The FDIC special assessment levied amounted to 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31, 1995. The special assessment of $1.7 million before taxes was recognized by the Savings Bank in the third quarter of 1996 and was tax deductible. That legislation eliminated the substantial disparity between the amount that BIF and SAIF members had been paying for deposit insurance premiums. During 1998, BIF members paid a portion of the FICO payment equal to 1.22 basis points on BIF-insured deposits, compared to 6.22 basis points payable by SAIF members on SAIF-insured deposits, and will pay a pro rata share of the FICO payment on the earlier of January 1, 2000 or the date upon which the last savings association, such as the Savings Bank, ceases to exist. The legislation also requires BIF and SAIF to be merged provided that subsequent legislation is adopted to eliminate the savings association charter and no savings associations remain as of that time. 9 Effective January 1, 1997, the FDIC lowered annual SAIF assessment rates to 0 to 27 basis points, a range comparable to those of BIF members, although SAIF members continue to be subject to the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot predict the level of FDIC insurance assessments on an ongoing basis or whether the BIF and SAIF will eventually be merged. Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS. The management of the Savings Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Company is acutely aware of the many areas affected by the Year 2000 computer issue, as addressed by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") in its interagency statement which provided an outline for institutions to manage the Year 2000 challenges effectively. A Year 2000 plan has been approved by the Board of Directors which includes multiple phases, tasks to be completed, and target dates for completion. Issues addressed in the plan include awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, implementation, testing, and contingency planning. The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee that is charged with the oversight of completing the Year 2000 project on a timely basis. The Company has completed its awareness, assessment and renovation phases and is actively involved in validating and implementing its plan. At the present time, the Company has substantially completed its testing phase, the results of which indicate that the Company's internal systems appear to be Year 2000 ready. Since it routinely upgrades and purchases technologically advanced software and hardware on a continual basis, the Company has determined that the cost of making modifications to correct any Year 2000 issues will not materially affect reported operating results. Management does not believe that the Company has incurred or will incur material costs associated with the Year 2000 issue. The Company's vendors and suppliers have been contacted for written confirmation of their product readiness for Year 2000 compliance. Negative or deficient responses are analyzed and periodically reviewed to prescribe timely actions within the Company's contingency planning. The Company's main service provider has completed testing of its mission critical application software and item processing software; the test results, which have been documented and validated, are deemed to be Year 2000 compliant. FFIEC guidance on testing Year 2000 compliance of service providers states that proxy tests are acceptable compliance tests. In proxy testing, the service provider tests with a representative sample of financial institutions that use a particular service, with the results of such testing shared with all similarly situated clients of the service provider. The Company has authorized the acceptance of proxy testing since the proxy tests have been conducted with financial institutions that are similar in type and complexity to its own using the same version of the Year 2000 ready software and the same hardware and operating systems. The Company also recognizes the importance of determining that its borrowers are facing the Year 2000 problem in a timely manner to avoid deterioration of the loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material relationships have been identified and questionnaires have been completed to assess the inherent risks. Deposit customers have received statement stuffers and informational material in this regard. The Company plans to work on a one-on-one basis with any borrower who has been identified as having high Year 2000 risk exposure. Notwithstanding our actions, there can be no assurances that all hardware and software that the Company will use will be Year 2000 compliant. Management cannot predict the amount of financial difficulties it may incur due to customers and vendors inability to perform according to their agreements with the Company or the effects that other third parties may cause as a result of this issue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of others to address the issue or that the costs involved in such process will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. 10 Based on testing results to date (as noted above), the Company's mission critical systems have been deemed to be Year 2000 ready. However, a written contingency plan has been developed to address problems that might be caused from Year 2000 system failures. Testing of the contingency plan is in progress and is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1999. With regard to non-mission critical internal systems, the Company's contingency plans are to replace those systems that test as being noncompliant. Alternatively, some systems could be handled manually on an interim basis. Should outside service providers not be able to provide compliant systems, the Company will terminate those relationships and transfer to other vendors. It is anticipated that the Company's deposit customers will have increased demands for cash in the latter part of 1999 and, correspondingly, the Company will maintain higher liquidity levels. CREDIT RISK The Savings Bank's primary business is lending on residential real estate, an activity with the inherent risk of generating potential loan losses the magnitude of which depend on a variety of factors affecting borrowers which are beyond the control of the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank has underwriting guidelines and credit review procedures designed to minimize such credit losses. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its interest-earning assets, primarily its loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. The Company's operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation, occupancy expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. The Company'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. Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. 11 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income of the Company from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (iii) net interest/dividend income; (iv) interest-rate spread; (v) net interest margin; and (vi) weighted average yields and rates at December 31, 1998. Yields and costs were derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. The average balance of loans receivable includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The yields and costs include fees which are considered to constitute adjustments to yields.

That requirement, which varies periodically depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The current required ratio is 4%. The Savings Bank historically has maintained a level of liquid assets in excess of the regulatory requirement. Liquid assets consist of cash, cash equivalents and short-and intermediate-term U.S. Government and government agency securities. The maintenance of liquid assets allows for the possibility of disintermediation when interest rates fluctuate. The Savings Bank's liquidity ratios were 8.8% and 8.7% at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Savings Bank's sources of funds include proceeds from payments and prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities and deposits. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by local conditions, general interest rates, and regulatory changes. At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $9.2 million of loans, to fund unused lines of credit of $29.6 million and to fund the undisbursed portion of loans in process of $10.6 million. The Savings Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its commitments. At December 31, 1998, certificates of deposit which were scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $168.1 million. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of these funds will remain with the Savings Bank. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS As a federally-chartered financial institution, the Savings Bank is required to maintain certain minimum amounts of regulatory capital. Regulatory capital is not a valuation allowance and has not been created by charges against earnings. The following table is a summary of the capital requirements, the Savings Bank's regulatory capital and the amounts in excess at December 31, 1998: Tangible Core Risk-Based ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ % of % of % of Risk- Adjusted Adjusted Weighted Amount Assets Amount Assets Amount Assets ------ ------ ------ ---- ------ ----- (Dollars in thousands) Regulatory capital.... $ 46,082 9.94% $ 46,082 9.94% $ 48,243 18.02% Requirement........... 6,957 1.50 13,913 3.00 10,711 4.00 ------ ------ ------ ---- ------ ----- Excess................ $ 39,125 8.44% $ 32,169 6.94% $ 37,532 14.02% ====== ==== ====== ==== ====== ===== MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's primary objective is managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank's net interest income and capital, while adjusting the Company's asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. The Company relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk. However, a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact the Company's earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company does not engage in trading activities. 14 ASSET /LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Savings Bank's primary mission is to provide home ownership by offering permanent and construction residential mortgage loans and consumer financing and by providing conveniently located depository facilities with transaction, savings and certificate accounts. The Savings Bank's goal is to continue to be a well-capitalized and profitable operation that provides service that is professional, efficient and courteous. The Savings Bank seeks to fulfill its mission and accomplish its goals by pursuing the following strategies: (i) emphasizing lending in the one-to-four-family residential mortgage market; (ii) controlling interest-rate risk; (iii) managing deposit pricing and asset growth; (iv) emphasizing cost control; and (v) maintaining asset quality by investing in mortgage-backed securities which, in management's judgment, provide a balance between yield and safety in a home mortgage related investment. It is management's intention to continue to employ these strategies over the foreseeable future. The Savings Bank's profitability, like that of most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings. Financial institutions continue to be affected by general changes in levels of interest rates and other economic factors beyond their control. At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank's one-year interest sensitivity gap (the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets anticipated by the Savings Bank, based on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within one year and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated by the Savings Bank, based on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within one year) as a percentage of total assets was a positive 19.9%. Generally, an institution with a positive gap would experience an increase in net interest income in a period of rising interest rates. However, certain shortcomings are inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented above. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different manners to changes in market interest rates. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the Savings Bank will be able to maintain its net interest-rate spread as market interest rates fluctuate. The Savings Bank monitors its interest rate risk through the Asset/Liability Committee which meets weekly and reports the results of such monitoring quarterly to the Board of Directors. The Savings Bank's policy is to seek to maintain a balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities so that the Savings Bank's cumulative one-year gap ratio is within a range which management believes is conducive to maintaining profitability without incurring undue risk. The Savings Bank has increased its investment in adjustable-rate and shorter average life, fixed-rate mortgage-related securities and, generally, has not retained in its portfolio 30 year fixed-rate loans, in order to position itself against the consequences of rising interest rates. The Savings Bank also maintains liquid assets in excess of the regulatory requirement, allowing for the possibility of disintermediation when interest rates fluctuate. The Savings Bank's liquidity ratio of 8.8% at December 31, 1998 is significantly higher than the regulatory requirement of 4%. In addition, the Savings Bank's large stable core deposit base resulting from its continuing commitment to quality customer service has historically provided it with a steady source of funds. 15 The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1998 that are expected to reprice or mature, based upon certain assumptions, in each of the future periods shown.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998, was $4.4 million or $1.22 per share, compared to net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 of $3.8 million or $1.01 per share. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase of $2.2 million in net interest income before provision for loan losses for 1998. Interest Income. Interest income increased $4.0 million, or 14%, from $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of total interest-earning assets, primarily loans, from $361.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $404.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $43 million, or 12% and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.80% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 7.96% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The average yield on loans decreased from 8.31% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 8.27% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The average yield on securities decreased from 6.35% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 6.32% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The average yield on other interest earning assets decreased from 5.88% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 5.82% for the year ended December 31, 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.9 million from $15.4 million at December 31, 1997 to $17.3 million at December 31, 1998. The increase was due to a $41.7 million or 13% increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities from $311.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $353.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 offset in part by a decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.94% during 1997 to 4.88% in 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. The Savings Bank's provision for loan losses increased from $649,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $682,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase of $33,000 is due to the growth of the loan portfolio and reflects the Savings Bank's continuing policy of evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and prevailing standards within the thrift industry. Generally, such evaluation includes consideration of the level of nonperforming loans and the level and composition of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due to a $258,000 increase in other service charges and fees and a $73,000 increase in deposit account fees, which was partially offset by a $302,000 decrease in gain on sale of other assets. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expense. Noninterest expense increased $973,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to 1997. This increase was primarily due to a $544,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $130,000 increase in occupancy expense, caused by growth of the Company. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for federal and state income taxes increased from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The effective tax rate increased from 35.7% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 37.5% for the year ended December 31, 1998. 17 COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 General Operating Results. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997, was $3.8 million or $1.01 per share, compared to net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 of $2.2 million or $.54 per share. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase of $1.5 million in net interest income before provision for loan losses for 1997, and the effect of the one-time SAIF assessment during 1996 of $1.7 million before taxes. Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.9 million, or 16.3%, from $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of total interest-earning assets from $321.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $361.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $39.2 million, or 12.2% and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.52% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 7.80% for the year ended December 31, 1997. The average yield on loans decreased from 8.33% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 8.31% for the year ended December 31, 1997. The average yield on securities increased from 6.22% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 6.35% for the year ended December 31, 1997. The average yield on other interest earning assets increased from 5.70% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 5.88% for the year ended December 31, 1997. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.5 million from $13.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $15.4 million at December 31, 1997. The increase was due to a $41.6 million or 15.4% increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities from $270.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $311.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and an increase in the weighted-average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.79% during 1996 to 4.94% in 1997. Provision for Loan Losses. The Savings Bank's provision for loan losses increased from $107,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $649,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase of $542,000 is due to the growth of the commercial loan portfolio and reflects the Savings Bank's continuing policy of evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and prevailing standards within the thrift industry. Generally, such evaluation includes consideration of the level of nonperforming loans and the level and composition of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $809,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was due to a gain on the sale of other assets during 1997 of $302,000, with no corresponding amount during 1996 and an increase in other service charges and fees of $94,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense and deposit insurance premiums. Noninterest expense decreased $826,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the one-time SAIF recapitalization expense of $1.7 million during 1996 and a related decrease in deposit insurance premium of $477,000 during 1997, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $934,000 and occupancy expense of $118,000. The remaining items in noninterest expense increased $254,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to the growth of the Company. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for federal and state income taxes increased from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The effective tax rate decreased from 40.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 35.7% for the year ended December 31, 1997. 18 IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Savings Bank's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Savings Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Savings Bank's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS The FASB has recently issued the following Statement of Financial Accounting Standards which is relevant to the Company: Financial Accounting Standards 133 - Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company will be required to adopt this Statement effective January 1, 2000. Management does not anticipate that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company. 19 FFLC BANCORP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies FFLCBancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") was incorporated in Delaware on September 16, 1993 as a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Holding Company completed its public offering of 4,603,032 shares (adjusted for stock split) of common stock on January 4, 1994 and acquired First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Savings Bank") in connection with the Savings Bank's conversion from a federally-chartered mutual savings association to a federally-chartered stock savings bank. The Holding Company's acquisition of the Savings Bank was accounted for as a pooling-of-interest. The Savings Bank was established in 1934 as a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association. The Savings Bank is a community-oriented savings institution which offers a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses primarily located in Lake County, Sumter County and Citrus County, Florida. The deposits of the Savings Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") through the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company, the Savings Bank, and the Savings Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake County Service Corporation (the "Service Corporation"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. General. The accounting and reporting policies of FFLC Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the "Company") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the thrift industry. All per share amounts presented reflect the effect of the five-for-three stock split in November, 1997. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company: Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents. For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance-sheet caption "cash and cash equivalents." The Savings Bank is required to maintain certain average reserve balances pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. These balances must be maintained in the form of vault cash or noninterest bearing deposits at a Federal Reserve Bank. The Savings Bank exceeded this requirement, which was $1.1 million and $843,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Securities. The Company may classify its securities as either trading, held to maturity or available for sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in earnings. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities available for sale and held to maturity are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. 27 Loans Receivable. Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in the consolidated statements of income. Premises and Equipment. Land is carried at cost. The Company's premises, furniture and equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed principally by the straight-line method. Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Stock-Based Compensation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" establishes a "fair value" based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. 28 Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and commitments under lines of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. FairValues of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value. Securities. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar securities. Loans Receivable. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain fixed-rate mortgage (e.g. one-to-four family residential), commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. Fair value of the Bank's investment in FHLB stock is based on its redemption value, which is its cost of $100 per share. Deposit Liabilities. The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Borrowed Funds. The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values. Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Accrued Interest. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values. Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. 29 Income Per Share of Common Stock. During 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards for calculating earnings per share. Basic income per share of common stock has been computed by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Shares of common stock purchased by the Employee Stock Option Plan ("ESOP") and the Retention and Recognition Plan ("RRP") incentive plans (see Note 16) are only considered outstanding when the shares are released or committed to be released for allocation to participants. The ESOP initially purchased 368,242 shares, of which 4,383 shares were released for allocation to participants each month beginning in January, 1994. The RRP initially purchased 184,122 shares, of which 177,517, 179,541 and 179,541 were allocated to participants and are considered outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 1998, 109,794 shares remain uncommitted under both plans and are not considered outstanding for purposes of the computation of net income per share of common stock. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options (see Note 16) computed using the treasury stock method prescribed by SFAS No. 128. The following table presents the calculation of net income per share of common stock: Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ----------- Weighted-average shares of common stock issued and outstanding before adjustments for ESOP, RRP and common stock options ................................... 3,728,350 3,890,019 4,317,500 Adjustment to reflect the effect of unallocated ESOP and RRP shares ............................................

The FASB has recently issued the following Statement of Financial Accounting Standards which is relevant to the Company: Financial Accounting Standards 133 - Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company will be required to adopt this Statement effective January 1, 2000. Management does not anticipate that this Statement will have a material impact on the Company. Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the 1996 and 1997 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 1998. (2) Securities Securities have been classified according to management's intent. The carrying amounts of securities and their approximate fair values were as follows: Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- (In thousands) Securities available for sale: At December 31, 1998: Mutual funds........................................ $ 9,238 - (107) 9,131 U.S. Government and agency securities............... 4,036 22 - 4,058 Mortgage-backed securities.......................... 8,898 - (21) 8,877 Other investment securities......................... 97 2 - 99 -------- ---- ---- ------ Total........................................... $ 22,269 24 (128) 22,165 ======== ==== ==== ====== Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- (In thousands) At December 31, 1997: Mutual funds........................................ 9,258 - (75) 9,183 U.S. Government and agency securities............... 7,965 2 (30) 7,937 Mortgage-backed securities.......................... 9,348 - (43) 9,305 Other investment securities......................... 151 5 - 156 -------- ---- ---- ------ Total........................................... $ 26,722 7 (148) 26,581 ======== ==== ==== ====== Securities held to maturity: December 31, 1998: SBA-related investment securities................... 2,320 46 - 2,366 Mortgage-backed securities.......................... 15,907 152 - 16,059 -------- ---- ---- ------ Total........................................... $ 18,227 198 - 18,425 ======== ==== ==== ====== At December 31, 1997: SBA-related investment securities................... 3,031 46 - 3,077 Mortgage-backed securities.......................... 28,986 457 - 29,443 -------- --- ---- ------ Total........................................... $ 32,017 503 - 32,520 ======== === ==== ====== 31 The scheduled maturities of securities at December 31, 1998 were as follows: Held-to-Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale Securities --------------------------- ----------------------------- Amortized Fair Amortized Fair Cost Value Cost Value -------- ------ ------ ------ (In thousands) Due from one year to five years.................. $ - - 4,036 4,058 Due from five years to ten years................. - - 97 99 Due after ten years.............................. 2,320 2,366 - - Mortgage-backed securities....................... 15,907 16,059 8,898 8,877 Mutual funds..................................... - - 9,238 9,131 -------- ------ ------ ------ Total ..................................... $ 18,227 18,425 22,269 22,165 ======== ====== ====== ====== Securities with a carrying value of approximately $2.9 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds and tax deposits. The Company has also pledged securities with a carrying value of $3.1 million for borrowings under retail repurchase agreements with customers at December 31, 1998 (See Note 6). There were no sales of securities during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are generally divided into tranches whereby principal repayments from the underlying mortgages are used sequentially to retire the securities according to the priority of the tranches. The Company invests in the following collateralized mortgage obligation tranches: sequential, planned amortization class, targeted amortization class or support or companion floating-rate tranches. Such tranches have stated maturities ranging from 1-22 years; however, because of prepayments, the expected weighted-average life of these securities at December 31, 1998 is approximately 1.3 years. The majority of the CMOs owned by the Company are insured or guaranteed, either directly or indirectly, through mortgage-backed securities underlying the obligations by either the FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. Depending on the amount of the Company's available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities, fluctuations in the interest rate environment and other factors, the Company may experience material effects on its capital resources due to categorizing these securities as available for sale. The Company's CMOs may be subject to price movements which typically result from prepayment on the underlying obligations. The Company's CMOs of $4.7 million have coupon rates ranging from 5.30% to 7.53% and had a weighted-average rate of 6.35% at December 31, 1998. The Company purchases only CMOs rated AA or better by nationally recognized rating services. 32 (3) Loans Receivable The components of loans were as follows: At December 31, ---------------------- 1998 1997 --------- -------- (In thousands) First mortgage loans secured by: One-to-four-family residential................... $ 283,372 245,524 Construction and land............................ 11,683 3,528 Multi-family units............................... 8,165 4,464 Commercial real estate, churches and other....... 44,211 37,975 Consumer loans....................................... 43,490 32,834 Commercial loans..................................... 10,532 4,632 --------- -------- Subtotal..................................... 401,453 328,957 Undisbursed portion of loans in process..........

(83) (28) (21) Provision for loan losses....... 682 649 107 ------- ----- ----- Balance at December 31.......... $ 2,283 1,684 1,063 ======= ===== ===== There were no impaired loans recognized under SFAS 114 and 118 during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The Company originates or purchases nonresidential real property loans. These loans are considered by management to be of somewhat greater risk of uncollectibility due to the dependency on income production or future development of the real estate. Nearly all of the Company's real property loans were collateralized by real property in Lake and Sumter Counties, Florida. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled $444,000 and $242,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1998, interest income on loans would have been increased approximately $31,000 if the interest on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998 had been recorded under the original terms of such loans. All of the nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were first-mortgage, single-family residential loans or consumer loans. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were approximately $930,000 and $1.2 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 33 (4) Premises and Equipment Components of premises and equipment were as follows: At December 31, ----------------------- 1998 1997 ------- ----- (In thousands) Cost: Land.................................... $ 1,754 1,754 Building and improvements............... 4,357 4,380 Furniture and equipment................. 2,193 2,152 Construction in progress................ 424 11 ------- ----- Total cost.......................... 8,728 8,297 Less accumulated depreciation............... 3,131 2,984 ------- ----- Net book value.......................... $ 5,597 5,313 Certain company facilities are leased under various operating leases. Rental expense was $101,000, $51,000 and $22,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998, future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable leases were as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Amount ------------ ------ 1999........................................ $ 176 2000........................................ 122 2001........................................ 125 2002........................................ 129 2003........................................ 132 ----- $ 684 ===== (5) Deposits The aggregate amount of short-term jumbo certificates of deposit, each with a minimum denomination of $100,000, was approximately $18.2 million and $12.2 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the scheduled maturities of certificate of deposit were as follows (in thousands): Year Ending ----------- 1999............................................ $ 168,086 2000............................................ 82,793 2001............................................ 3,031 2002............................................ 2,083 2003 and thereafter............................. 3,183 --------- $ 259,176 ========= 34 (6) Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank and Other Borrowings As of December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank had $56 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") advances outstanding. These advances had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.28% and interest rates and maturities as follows (dollars in thousands): At December 31, Interest -------------------- Year Ending December 31, Rate 1998 1997 ------------------------ ---- ---- ---- 2000........................ 4.30% $ 6,000 - 2002........................ 6.10% 5,000 5,000 2002........................ 6.26% 5,000 5,000 2002........................ 6.09% 10,000 10,000 2002........................ 5.75% 10,000 10,000 2003........................ 3.90% 5,000 - 2003........................ 4.90% 10,000 - 2008........................ 4.19% 5,000 - -------- ------ Total....................... $ 56,000 30,000 ======== ====== The security agreement with FHLB includes a blanket floating lien requiring the Savings Bank to maintain first mortgage loans as pledged collateral in an amount equal to at least, when discounted at 75% of the unpaid principal balances, 100% of these advances. The FHLB stock is also pledged as collateral for these advances. At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank could borrow up to $100 million under the FHLB security agreement. Other borrowed funds were composed of retail repurchase agreements with customers during 1998 and dollar reverse repurchase agreements during 1997. The Company enters into retail repurchase agreements with customers in which the funds received are accounted for as borrowings to the Company. Mortgage-backed securities sold under dollar reverse repurchase agreements were delivered to the broker-dealers who arranged the transactions. The broker-dealers may have sold, loaned, or otherwise disposed of such securities to other parties in the normal course of their operations, and have agreed to resell to the Company substantially identical securities at the maturities of the agreements. Information concerning other borrowed funds is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- 1998 1997 ------- ------ (Dollars in thousands) Average balance during the year............................ $ 14 5,629 ======= ====== Average interest rate during the year...................... 4.65% 5.74% ======= ====== Maximum month-end balance during the year.................. $ 789 11,952 ======= ====== Securities as collateral under the agreements at year end: Carrying value......................................... $ 3,073 - ======= ====== Fair value............................................. $ 3,073 - ======= ====== 35 (7) Income Taxes The Holding Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes are allocated proportionally to the Holding Company and each of the subsidiaries as though separate income tax returns were filed. The income tax provision is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 (In thousands) Current ............... $ 3,108 2,339 1,594 Deferred .............. (467) (256) (116) ------- ----- ----- $ 2,641 2,083 1,478 ======= ===== ===== The effective tax rate on income before income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 34%. The following summary reconciles taxes at the U.S. statutory rate with the effective rates: Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 Amount % Amount % Amount % ------- ---- ------- ---- ------- ---- (Dollars in thousands) Taxes on income at U.S. statutory rate........ $ 2,393 34.0% $ 1,985 34.0% $ 1,245 34.0% State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit... 240 3.4 192 3.3 131 3.6 Other, net................ 8 .1 (94) (1.6) 102 2.8 ------- ---- ------- ---- ------- ---- Taxes on income at effective rates....... $ 2,641 37.5% $ 2,083 35.7% $ 1,478 40.4% ======= ==== ======= ==== ======= ==== Temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax liability relate to the following: At December 31, --------------- 1998 1997 ---- ---- (In thousands) Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred loan fees ................................... $-- 27 Allowance for loan losses ............................ -- 256 FHLB stock dividends ................................. 304 304 Depreciation ......................................... 181 222 Certain accrued interest ............................. 12 17 Other ................................................ 96 82 ---- ---- Gross deferred tax liabilities ........................... 593 908 ---- ---- Deferred tax assets: Allowance for loan losses ............................ 140 -- Unrealized loss on securities available for sale ..... 39 53 Deferred loan fees ................................... 33 -- RRP incentive plan ................................... 97 118 ---- ---- Gross deferred tax assets ................................ 309 171 ---- ---- Net deferred tax liabilities ............................. $284 737 ==== === 36 Retained earnings at December 31, 1998 and 1997 includes approximately $5,810,000 for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $2,186,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") enacted on August 2, 1996 requires savings institutions, such as the Savings Bank, to recapture certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves, and eliminated the Percentage of Taxable Income Method of accounting for bad debts for tax purposes. The Savings Bank was required to change its method of accounting for bad debts for tax purposes effective January 1, 1996. In addition, the Savings Bank was required to recapture the excess of its bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 over its base year reserves at December 31, 1987, ratably over a six-year period beginning in 1998. At December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank had approximately $757,000 of deferred tax liabilities recorded for the recapture of its excess bad debt reserves. (8) Pension Plan Prior to 1996, the Company participated in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") which covered substantially all of its employees. The Company's funding policy with respect to the Pension Plan was to make an annual contribution determined by the Pension Plan's actuaries that would not be less than the minimum required contribution, nor greater than the maximum federal income tax deductible limit. The Company's contributions for the Pension Plan for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $65,000. During 1996, the Company decided to withdraw from participation in the Pension Plan, and accordingly, participants' benefits were frozen and participants became fully vested at that date. The Company did not make a contribution to the Pension Plan for 1996. In connection with the above, the Company adopted a new defined contribution profit sharing 401(k) plan (the "401(k) Plan") effective April 1, 1996. All employees who have met a minimum service requirement (1,000 hours of service in a twelve-month period) may participate in the Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, a participant may elect to contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation, subject to IRS limitations on total annual contributions. The Company will make contributions to the 401(k) Plan on a monthly basis at two percent of participants' compensation. Contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $46,000 and $37,000, respectively. (9) Financial Instruments The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. 37 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows: At December 31, 1998 At December 31, 1997 -------------------- -------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value --------- ------ ------ ------ (In thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents......................... $ 22,928 22,928 15,684 15,684 Securities held to maturity....................... 18,227 18,425 32,017 32,520 Securities available for sale..................... 22,165 22,165 26,581 26,581 Loans receivable.................................. 389,059 391,616 315,353 316,528 Accrued interest receivable....................... 2,242 2,242 2,134 2,134 Federal Home Loan Bank stock...................... 2,800 2,800 2,304 2,304 Financial liabilities: Deposit liabilities............................... 351,030 350,801 315,390 316,689 Advances from FHLB................................ 56,000 56,000 30,000 30,376 Other borrowed funds.............................. 789 789 - - A summary of the notional amounts of the Company's financial instruments which approximates fair value, with off-balance-sheet risk at December 31, 1998, follows: Notional Amount --------- (In thousands) Commitments to extend credit.................. $ 9,240 Unused lines of credit........................ $ 29,543 Undisbursed portion of loans in process ...... $ 10,637 (10) Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk The Company grants real estate, commercial and consumer loans to customers primarily in the State of Florida with the majority of such loans in the Lake and Sumter County area. Therefore, the Company's exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy of the Lake and Sumter County area. The contractual amounts of credit related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default and the value of any existing collateral become worthless. 38 (11) Related Parties Loans to directors and executive officers of the Company were made in the ordinary course of business and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Activity in loans to directors and executive officers were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1998 1997 ------- ----- (In thousands) Beginning balance................................... $ 1,728 1,030 Amounts related to new officers and directors....... - 135 Loans originated.................................... 1,313 725 Principal repayments................................ (365) (162) ------- ----- Ending balance.................................. $ 3,406 1,728 ======= ===== (12) Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. (13) Restrictions on Retained Earnings The Savings Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 1998, approximately $16.9 million of retained earnings were available for dividend declaration without prior regulatory approval. (14) Regulatory Matters 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 risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Savings Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 1998, 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. 39 The Savings Bank's actual capital amounts and percentages at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are also presented in the tables.

The FDIC special assessment levied amounted to 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31, 1995. The special assessment was recognized in the third quarter of 1996 and was tax deductible. The Savings Bank recorded a charge of $1.7 million before taxes during 1996 as a result of the FDIC special assessment. That legislation eliminated the substantial disparity between the amount that BIF and SAIF members had been paying for deposit insurance premiums. Beginning on January 1, 1997, BIF members will pay a portion of the FICO payment equal to 1.3 basis points on BIF-insured deposits, compared to 6.48 basis points payable by SAIF members on SAIF-insured deposits, and will pay a pro rata share of the FICO payment on the earlier of January 1, 2000 or the date upon which the last savings association, such as the Savings Bank, ceases to exist. The legislation also requires BIF and SAIF to be merged by January 1, 1999 provided that subsequent legislation is adopted to eliminate the savings association charter and no savings associations remain as of that time. The FDIC substantially lowered SAIF assessments to a range comparable to those of BIF members, although SAIF members will continue to pay the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot predict the level of FDIC insurance assessments on an ongoing basis or whether the BIF and SAIF will eventually be merged. (15) Conversion to Stock Savings Bank The Savings Bank successfully completed a conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings bank on January 4, 1994 pursuant to the Plan of Conversion adopted by the Savings Bank's Board of Directors on June 17, 1993 and subsequently approved by regulatory authorities and members of the Bank. FFLC Bancorp, Inc. was created as the holding company for the Savings Bank as part of this conversion, generating proceeds of $23.3 million (net of shares purchased by the Savings Bank for employee stock incentive plans) from the sale of 4,603,032 shares of stock at the price of $6 per share in a subscription and community offering. The Plan of Conversion provided for the establishment of a Liquidation Account equal to the retained income of the Savings Bank as of September 30, 1993 (the date of the most recent financial statement presented in the final conversion prospectus). The Liquidation Account is established to provide a limited priority claim to the assets of the Savings Bank to qualifying depositors as of September 30, 1992 (Eligible Account Holders) who continue to maintain deposits in the Savings Bank after conversion. In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Savings Bank, and only in such event, each Eligible Account Holder would receive from the Liquidation Account a liquidation distribution based on their proportionate share of the then total remaining qualifying deposits. Current regulations allow the Savings Bank to pay dividends on its stock after the conversion if its regulatory capital would not thereby be reduced below the amount then required for the aforementioned Liquidation Account. Also, capital distribution regulations limit the Savings Bank's ability to make capital distributions which include dividends, stock redemptions and repurchases, cash-out mergers, interest payments on certain convertible debt and other transactions charged to the capital account based on their capital level and supervisory condition. Federal regulations also preclude any repurchase of the stock by the Savings Bank or its holding company for three years after conversion except for purchases of qualifying shares of a director and repurchases pursuant to an offer made on a pro rata basis to all stockholders and with prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision or pursuant to an open-market stock repurchase program that complies with certain regulatory criteria. See also Note 18 for information regarding the Savings Bank's Stock Repurchase Program. 42 (16) Stock Benefit Plans During 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 applies to stock-based compensation under the Company's incentive stock option plan (the "Option Plan") and under the Company's Recognition and Retention Plan discussed below. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company elected to continue to measure compensation cost for the options or shares granted under either plan using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123 does not apply to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan discussed below. During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, 18,000, 10,867 and 8,332 options were granted under the Option Plan, and 0, 2,014 and 6,000 shares were awarded under the Recognition and Retention Plan. SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma fair value disclosures if the intrinsic value method is being utilized. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, it was assumed that the risk-free interest rate was 7.0% for each period, an annualized dividend yield of approximately 2% would apply over the exercise period, the expected life of the options would be the entire exercise period and the expected stock volatility was 42%, 23% and 14%, respectively, for 1998, 1997 and 1996. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value was included in expense in the period vesting occurs. The following information pertains to the options granted to purchase common stock and shares awarded in 1998, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands, except per share amounts): Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------- ----- ----- Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options issued during the year..................................... $ 166 84 39 ======== ===== ===== Proforma net earnings........................................... $ 4,303 3,663 2,149 ======== ===== ===== Proforma basic earnings per share............................... $ 1.20 .99 .53 ======== ===== ===== Stock Option Plan. During 1993, the Company adopted and the shareholders approved the Option Plan. On January 4, 1994, upon conversion of the Savings Bank to a stock association, stock options for 460,303 common shares were authorized to be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Savings Bank including 66,343 shares reserved for future directors, officers and employees. Shares granted under the Option Plan are exercisable at the market price at the date of grant. Such incentive stock options granted to officers and employees are exercisable in three equal annual installments, with the first installment becoming exercisable one year from the date of grant. Options granted to outside directors are exercisable immediately, but any common shares obtained from exercise of the options may not be sold prior to one year from the date of grant. All options expire at the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or one year following the date which the outside director, officer or employee ceases to serve in such capacity. At December 31, 1998, 54,999 shares remain available for grant to future directors, officers and employees. 43 The following is a summary of option transactions: Weighted- Range of Average Number Per Share Per Share of Shares Option Price Price --------- ------------ ----- Outstanding, December 31, 1995...................... 373,580 $ 6.00-9.52 $ 6.05 Granted............................................. 8,332 12.00 12.00 Forfeited...........................................

The outstanding options at December 31, 1998 were exercisable as follows: Number Weighted-Average of Weighted-Average Remaining Year Ending Shares Exercise Price Contractual Life ----------- ------ -------------- ---------------- (In years) Currently exercisable................... 264,979 $ 6.54 5.2 1999.................................... 3,111 15.91 8.6 2000.................................... 3,110 15.91 8.6 2001.................................... 2,000 16.25 9.0 ------- 273,200 $ 6.83 5.3 ======= ======= === 44 Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Company sponsors a leveraged ESOP that covers eligible employees who have a twelve-month period of employment with the Savings Bank during which they worked at least 1,000 hours and who have attained age 21. The Savings Bank makes quarterly contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service. The ESOP Trust purchased 368,242 shares of common stock in the Company's initial public offering with the proceeds from a loan from the Company. This loan bears interest at a fixed-rate of six percent with principal and interest payable in equal quarterly installments over seven years. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees based on the proportion of debt service paid during the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and the cost of the shares pledged as collateral are reported as a contra equity account. As shares are released from collateral, the Company records compensation expense, and an offsetting credit to capital, equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on all ESOP shares are recorded as compensation expense as it is management's intention to allocate the dividends along with the shares when allocated. Compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 included the following ESOP related costs: Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------- ---- --- (In thousands) Amortization of the original cost, $6 per share........... $ 315 315 315 Market appreciation of the FFLC shares.................... 663 597 265 Dividends on ESOP shares.................................. 38 61 60 ------- ---- --- Total................................................. $ 1,016 973 640 ======= === === The ESOP shares were as follows: At December 31, ---------------------------- 1998 1997 ---------- -------- ($ in thousands) Allocated shares and shares released for allocation... 238,413 199,479 Unreleased shares..................................... 105,212 157,818 ---------- -------- Total ESOP shares..................................... 343,625 357,297 ---------- -------- Fair value of unreleased shares....................... $ 1,710 3,433 ========== ======== Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company adopted, and the shareholders approved, an RRP for directors, officers and employees to enable the Savings Bank to attract and retain experienced and capable personnel. On January 4, 1994, the conversion date, 184,122 shares of common stock were purchased for the RRP which included 8,067 shares reserved for future directors, officers and employees. The shares are granted in the form of restricted stock to be earned in three equal annual installments beginning April 4, 1995. The RRP shares purchased in the conversion initially were excluded from stockholders' equity. The Company recognized compensation expense in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date of $6 per share, pro rata over the years (1996, 1995 and 1994) during which the shares were earned and payable and recorded a credit to shareholders' equity. Compensation expense attributable to the RRP amounted to $368,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994. No compensation expense attributable to the RRP was recognized in 1997 or 1998. The shares are entitled to all voting and other shareholder rights, except that the shares, while restricted, cannot be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of, and are required to be held in escrow. 45 If a holder of restricted stock under the RRP terminated employment for reasons other than death, disability, retirement or change of control in the Company, such employee forfeits all rights to any allocated shares which are still restricted. If termination is caused by death, disability, retirement or change in control of the Company, all allocated shares become unrestricted. Forfeitures are reallocated to eligible participants annually. At December 31, 1998, 4,581 shares remain reserved for future directors, officers and employees.

The Company subsequently received OTS approval for the Program, and began repurchasing shares early in 1995. Under the Program, the Company was limited to repurchasing no more than 5%, or approximately 138,000 shares of its publicly-held common stock over a one-year period ending January 16, 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1995, 132,044 shares or 95.6% of the maximum number of shares approved under the Program were repurchased. In January and August 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved programs which allow the Company to acquire additional common stock in the open market. The Company received OTS approval for the programs and began repurchasing shares within one month of approval. During the year ended December 31, 1996, all 132,000 shares approved under the January 1996 program were repurchased. During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, all 126,000 shares approved under the August 1996 program were repurchased. In January 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program which allows the Company to acquire additional common stock in the open market. During the year ended December 31, 1997, 178,690 shares or 60.6% of the 294,928 shares approved under that program were repurchased. In September 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program which allows the Company to acquire 369,285 additional common stock in the open market. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the remaining shares approved under the January 1997 program were repurchased. During the year ended December 31, 1998 32,025 shares or 8.7% of the September 1998 program were repurchased.

A Year 2000 plan has been approved by the Board of Directors which includes multiple phases, tasks to be completed, and target dates for completion. Issues addressed in the plan include awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, implementation, testing, and contingency planning. The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee that is charged with the oversight of completing the Year 2000 project on a timely basis. The Company has completed its awareness, assessment and renovation phases and is actively involved in validating and implementing its plan. At the present time, the Company has substantially completed its testing phase, the results of which indicate that the Company's internal systems appear to be Year 2000 ready. Since it routinely upgrades and purchases technologically advanced software and hardware on a continual basis, the Company has determined that the cost of making modifications to correct any Year 2000 issues will not materially affect reported operating results. Management does not believe that the Company has incurred or will incur material costs associated with the Year 2000 issue. The Company's vendors and suppliers have been contacted for written confirmation of their product readiness for Year 2000 compliance. Negative or deficient responses are analyzed and periodically reviewed to prescribe timely actions within the Company's contingency planning. The Company's main service provider has completed testing of its mission critical application software and item processing software; the test results, which have been documented and validated, are deemed to be Year 2000 compliant. FFIEC guidance on testing Year 2000 compliance of service providers states that proxy tests are acceptable compliance tests. In proxy testing, the service provider tests with a representative sample of financial institutions that use a particular service, with the results of such testing shared with all similarly situated clients of the service provider. The Company has authorized the acceptance of proxy testing since the proxy tests have been conducted with financial institutions that are similar in type and complexity to its own using the same version of the Year 2000 ready software and the same hardware and operating systems. 49 The Company also recognizes the importance of determining that its borrowers are facing the Year 2000 problem in a timely manner to avoid deterioration of the loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material relationships have been identified and questionnaires have been completed to assess the inherent risks. Deposit customers have received statement stuffers and informational material in this regard. The Company plans to work on a one-on-one basis with any borrower who has been identified as having high Year 2000 risk exposure. Notwithstanding our actions, there can be no assurances that all hardware and software that the Company will use will be Year 2000 compliant. Management cannot predict the amount of financial difficulties it may incur due to customers and vendors inability to perform according to their agreements with the Company or the effects that other third parties may cause as a result of this issue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of others to address the issue or that the costs involved in such process will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Based on testing results to date (as noted above), the Company's mission critical systems have been deemed to be Year 2000 ready. However, a written contingency plan has been developed to address problems that might be caused from Year 2000 system failures. Testing of the contingency plan is in progress and is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1999. With regard to non-mission critical internal systems, the Company's contingency plans are to replace those systems that test as being noncompliant. Alternatively, some systems could be handled manually on an interim basis. Should outside service providers not be able to provide compliant systems, the Company will terminate those relationships and transfer to other vendors. It is anticipated that the Company's deposit customers will have increased demands for cash in the latter part of 1999 and, correspondingly, the Company will maintain higher liquidity levels. 50 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors FFLC Bancorp, Inc.
