SUMMARY
     ON SEPTEMBER 6, BARNETT COMPLETED A 2-FOR-1 STOCK SPLIT. ALL HISTORICAL 
DATA USED IN THIS REPORT HAS BEEN RESTATED TO REFLECT THE SPLIT.
     Barnett reported third quarter earnings of $127.0 million, or $.65 per 
share, which included a special charge for a potential assessment to 
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). Excluding this 
$24.5 million, or $.08 per share, charge, third quarter earnings per share 
rose 12% to $.73 from $.65 per share a year earlier.
     For the first nine months of 1996, Barnett's earnings per share, 
excluding the SAIF assessment, rose 15% from a year ago to $2.18 per share.
     Third quarter results, excluding the SAIF assessment, demonstrated 
continued improved profitability. Return on assets in the third quarter 
increased to 1.40% from 1.30% a year earlier and return on shareholders' 
equity increased to 17.19% from 16.02%.
     The third quarter results reflect the first full quarter impact of the 
formation of HomeSide Lending Inc., a mortgage banking venture to which 
Barnett sold its mortgage servicing business. The company holds a one-third 
ownership interest and the remainder is owned by Bank Boston Corporation and 
two equity investors.
     Third quarter revenue rose $34.3 million, or 5%, over the third quarter 
of 1995 to $663.9 million, but was $10.7 million below the second quarter. 
Third quarter taxable-equivalent net interest income rose $22.1 million, or 
5%, from the same period last year to $469.0 million, due to an increase of 
32 basis points in the net yield on earning assets partially offset by a 1% 
decline in earning assets. The increase in the net yield from last year was 
largely the result of lower funding costs and strategic decisions by the 
company that favorably changed the mix of earning assets. Net interest income 
fell $11.3 million from the second quarter as the net yield on earning assets 
decreased 8 basis points and average earning assets fell $490 million, 
reflecting lower escrow deposit balances as a result of the HomeSide venture.
     Non-interest income rose 7% from a year earlier to $194.9 million. The 
increase from last year was largely the result of growth in consumer finance 
income, investment services revenue and other retail fees. The modest 
increase from the second quarter reflects strong growth in consumer finance 
income partially offset by lower mortgage banking income as a result of the 
sale of the company's mortgage servicing business to the HomeSide venture.
     Non-interest expense, excluding the SAIF assessment, increased $5.2 
million from last year, but fell $16.3 million from the second quarter to 
$384.4 million. Barnett's overhead ratio, which excludes the SAIF assessment, 
fell to 57.91% from 60.25% a year earlier and 59.43% in the second quarter.
     The provision for loan losses was $44.9 million in the third quarter 
compared to $34.2 million last year and $39.4 million in the second quarter. 
Net charge-offs of $45.1 million in the third quarter were $11.0 million 
higher than the same period last year and $5.6 million higher than the second 
quarter, primarily due to increased bank card charge-offs. Third quarter net 
charge-offs represented an annualized .59% of average loans. Non-performing 
assets of $251.1 million on September 30 represented .82% of gross loans plus 
real estate held for sale.
     In October, the company entered into a strategic alliance with Household 
Credit Services, Inc. to jointly build and manage Barnett's credit card 
business. As part of that transaction, Barnett sold $776 million of non-core 
credit card outstandings to Household. The transaction closed in October and 
the company anticipates it will be

accretive to earnings within the first 12 months.

EARNING ASSETS
      LOANS. Average loans rose $356 million from a year earlier and $183 
million from the second quarter to $30.5 billion, despite a reduction in 
residential mortgages as the company continued to utilize liquidity from 
amortizing residential mortgages to fund higher yielding loans.
     Installment loans rose $1.5 billion, or 18%, from the same period last 
year and $375 million, or an annualized growth rate of 15%, from the second 
quarter to $10.2 billion. Expansion of indirect automobile lending to new 
markets and increased home equity loans originated through the EquiCredit 
franchise were the principal factors in the growth of the installment loan 
portfolio. The volume of automobile loans, the largest component of 
installment loans, is dependent upon new and used automobile sales, which can 
vary depending on economic conditions and other factors.
     Residential mortgage loans fell 12%, or $1.4 billion, from last year and 
$297 million from the second quarter to $10.0 billion. These reductions 
reflect management's decision to utilize the liquidity from amortizing 
residential mortgages to fund growth in loan categories with higher 
risk-adjusted rates of return. Also contributing to the decline was the sale 
to HomeSide of the company's pipeline of loans held for sale. At the end of 
the third quarter, 75% of the residential loan portfolio consisted of 
adjustable-rate mortgages. Most of these mortgages reprice annually based on 
a spread over the one-year constant maturity Treasury index. This repricing 
is limited by annual and lifetime caps.
     Commercial loans grew 9% from last year and at an annualized rate of 7% 
from the second quarter to $5.0 billion. Commercial real estate loans 
decreased 13% from a year earlier and $40 million from the second quarter to 
$2.8 billion.

(2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES INTEREST EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT BY WHICH LIBOR IS LESS 
    THAN 6.00%.
(3) THE MATURITY OF INDEX-PRINCIPAL SWAPS CAN EXTEND TO A MAXIMUM AVERAGE OF 
    1.8 YEARS.

     Credit line and bank card outstandings grew 11%, or $256 million, from 
last year and at an annualized rate of 9% from the second quarter to $2.6 
billion. The growth from last year reflects expanded marketing through the 
first quarter of 1996 of the credit card both within Florida and in 
neighboring markets. The growth from last quarter primarily reflects 
increased usage of previously authorized lines.
     As part of the agreement with Household, the company sold $776 million 
of non-core credit card outstandings in October, which will result in lower 
credit card balances beginning in the fourth quarter.
     INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND OTHER EARNING ASSETS. The company's $5.2 
billion securities portfolio, with an average life of 1.40 years, consists 
primarily of AAA or equivalent-rated securities. U.S. Treasury securities 
comprised 47% of the portfolio at September 30. Average securities fell $966 
million, or 16%, from the same period last year reflecting the deployment of 
liquidity from maturing securities into higher yielding loans. Federal funds 
sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell rose $89 million. 
Average securities fell $119 million and federal funds sold and securities 
purchased under agreements to resell fell $554 million from the second 
quarter, primarily due to reduced funding needs related to the HomeSide 
venture.
     At September 30, the available-for-sale securities portfolio had a $1.8 
million unrealized gain compared to a $39.6 million unrealized gain at 
September 30, 1995 and a $3.7 million unrealized loss at June 30, 1996.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES
     DEPOSITS. Average deposits declined $804 million from a year ago and 
$813 million from the second quarter to $32.7 billion. Transaction, money 
market and savings account balances dropped $1.0 billion from a year ago and 
$938 million during the quarter, largely due to the transfer of mortgage 
escrow deposits to HomeSide. The reduction from the second quarter also 
reflected seasonal outflows. CD balances rose $243 million from a year ago 
and $125 million during the quarter.
     OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. Average federal funds purchased, securities sold 
under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings decreased $132 
million, or 5%, from the same period last year but increased $258 million 
during the quarter to $2.5 billion.
     The company issues commercial paper to fund consumer lending activities. 
As of September 30, Barnett's commercial paper outstandings totaled $416 
million compared to $871 million as of June 30 and $709 million as of 
September 30, 1995.

ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
     Net interest income, the company's primary source of revenue, is 
affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level 
and duration of assets and liabilities contained on the company's balance 
sheet. The impact of changes in interest rates on the company's net interest 
income represents Barnett's level of interest rate risk.
     Interest rate sensitivity is primarily a function of the repricing 
structure of the company's balance sheet. TABLE 2 on page 5 shows this 
structure as of September 30, with each maturity interval referring to the 
earliest repricing opportunity (i.e., the earlier

of scheduled contractual maturity or repricing date) for each asset and 
liability category. The resulting gap is one measure of the sensitivity of 
earnings to changes in interest rates.
     In order to more appropriately reflect the repricing structure of the 
company's balance sheet, management has made certain adjustments to the 
balances shown in the table. Based on historical and industry data, an 
estimate of the expected prepayments of amortizing loans and investment 
securities is reflected in the balances in the table. Changes in the economic 
and interest rate environments may impact these expected prepayments.
     Similarly, an adjustment to deposits is made to reflect the behavioral 
characteristics of certain core deposits that do not have specified 
maturities (i.e., interest-bearing checking, savings and money market deposit 
accounts). The footnote accompanying the table more fully explains the 
specific adjustments made to the analysis. This interest rate sensitivity 
analysis indicates that the company was liability sensitive on September 30, 
with a cumulative six-month negative gap of 12.28%.
     In addition to gap analysis, management uses rate-shock simulation and 
duration of equity to measure the rate sensitivity of its balance sheet. 
Rate-shock simulation is a modeling technique used to estimate the impact of 
changes in rates on the company's net interest margin. Duration of equity 
measures the change in the market value of the company's equity resulting 
from a change in interest rates. It is designed to evaluate the economic 
impact of rate changes for periods that extend beyond the time horizons 
targeted by gap and rate shock simulation analysis. These analyses, which 
analyze longer term impacts of rate changes, indicate that Barnett is 
relatively rate neutral. The company's rate shock simulation indicates that 
an instantaneous 1% change in interest rates would have less than a 2% impact 
on net interest income over a twelve-month period. This simulation is based 
on the company's business mix, as well as interest rate exposures at a point 
in time and includes a parallel shift of the yield curve. It also requires 
certain assumptions about the future pricing of loans and deposits in 
response to changes in interest rates. This simulation is a useful measure of 
the company's sensitivity to changing rates; it is not a forecast of future 
results and is based on many assumptions, which if changed, could cause a 
different outcome from the simulation.
     The primary objective of Barnett's asset-liability management is to 
maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of 
interest-rate sensitivity. The Asset-Liability Management Committee sets 
specific rate-sensitivity limits for the company. The committee monitors and 
adjusts the company's exposure to changes in interest rates to achieve 
predetermined risk targets that it believes are consistent with current and 
expected market conditions. Management strives to minimize the negative 
impact on net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. At this 
time, management believes the company's asset-liability mix is sufficiently 
balanced within a broad range of interest rate scenarios to minimize the 
impact of significant rate movements.

     Barnett controls its interest rate risk by managing the level and 
duration of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities. The company also 
uses off-balance-sheet instruments (derivatives) to manage its interest rate 
sensitivity position. Barnett ensures that both balance sheet and 
off-balance-sheet instruments used for asset-liability management purposes 
are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
     The company's derivative portfolio used for asset-liability management 
purposes, summarized in TABLE 3 on page 6, had a notional amount of $4.4 
billion at September 30. This portfolio consisted of $4.2 billion of interest 
rate swaps, of which $425 million was added in the third quarter, and $250 
million of interest rate floors. The swap portfolio consists of fixed-term, 
non-amortizing interest rate swaps, which primarily mature beginning January 
1997 through September 1999. Most of the company's swaps involve receipt of 
fixed cash flows in exchange for variable (primarily LIBOR-based) cash flows. 
The purpose of the swaps is to convert variable cash flows from floating-rate 
loans to fixed cash flows. The derivatives reduce the sensitivity of the net 
interest margin to flat or falling interest rates.
     The swap portfolio performed as expected during the quarter, as the 
value of derivatives instruments entered into to protect the company in a 
declining rate environment fell in value due to a modest rise in interest 
rates during the period. Since the company is relatively rate neutral, the 
overall impact of rising rates was neutral. The replacement value related to 
the company's derivatives portfolio was a negative $20.6 million on September 
30, 1996 compared to a negative $5.8 million on the same date last year and a 
negative $28.6 million on June 30.
     The derivatives portfolio, including the amortization of deferred gains 
on interest rate floors, increased net interest income in the third quarter 
of 1996 by $1.0 million, representing a 1 basis point increase in the net 
yield on earning assets. The swap portfolio reduced third quarter 1995 net 
interest income by $6.6 million, representing a 7 basis point reduction in 
the net yield on earning assets.
     Barnett manages the counterparty exposure of its derivatives in a manner 
consistent with the granting of credit. Any exposure is generally measured by 
the market replacement value at any point in time. Barnett utilizes 
collateral exchange agreements with derivatives counterparties in order to 
control the level of credit exposure to these entities.

NET INTEREST INCOME
     Barnett's taxable-equivalent net interest income, which represented 71% 
of revenues, was $469.0 million in the third quarter, up $22.1 million from a 
year earlier, but $11.3 million below the second quarter. The increase from 
last year primarily reflects a higher net yield on earning assets while the 
decrease from last quarter reflects a lower net yield and reduced earning 
assets. TABLE 4 on page 7 shows the changes in net interest income by 
category due to shifts in volume and rate.
     The net yield on earning assets rose to 5.22% from 4.90% a year earlier, 
but was down 8 basis points from 5.30% in the second quarter. The expansion 
of the net interest margin from last year was primarily due to the increase 
in higher yielding loans as a percentage of earning assets and a decrease in 
funding costs.  Loans grew from 83% of earning assets in the third quarter of 
1995 to 85% in the third quarter of 1996. The rate paid on interest-bearing 
liabilities fell 18 basis points from last year. Lower rates paid on NOW, 
money market and savings accounts more than offset the higher cost as a 
result of the migration of balances from transaction accounts to time 
deposits.
     The decrease in the net yield on earning assets from the second quarter 
was driven by the change in financial presentation of mortgage servicing 
costs resulting from the HomeSide venture, partially offset by the shift from 
residential mortgages to higher yielding commercial and consumer loans.
     Third quarter operating results reflect the first full quarter impact of 
the HomeSide venture. The impact of this transaction is evident in the 
decrease in net interest margin, mortgage banking income and non-interest 
expense. Prior reporting had reflected internal mortgage servicing costs in 
non-interest expense. As a result of the venture, these expenses became third 
party costs and are now netted

against interest on residential loans, resulting in lower net interest income.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
     Non-interest income rose 7% from a year ago to $194.9 million. Consumer 
finance income, brokerage commissions and other retail fees showed healthy 
gains. Non-interest income was up slightly from the second quarter, due to 
the growth in consumer finance income partially offset by the lower mortgage 
banking income as a result of the full quarter impact of the HomeSide venture.
     Consumer finance income rose 30%, or $7.1 million, from the same period 
a year ago and 25%, or $6.0 million, from the second quarter. The increases 
reflect increased securitization volumes and the adoption of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage 
Servicing Rights. Consumer finance income of $30.4 million represents revenue 
generated through the company's quarterly securitization program of consumer 
finance loan production and related loan servicing.
     Brokerage income grew 31% from a year ago to $10.3 million, primarily 
reflecting a significant increase in annuity and mutual fund sales.
     Mortgage banking income fell $1.5 million from the same period last year 
and $4.3 million from the second quarter to $14.5 million. The decrease from 
the second quarter reflects the full quarter impact of the HomeSide venture.
     Other service charges and fees rose 17%, or $5.1 million, from last year 
to $35.4 million, reflecting higher retail fees which includes the new ATM 
surcharge.
     Credit card fees fell $2.4 million, or 16%, from last year's third 
quarter as the company entered into a joint venture in January to perform 
bank card merchant processing. As a result of this new structure, the company 
now records its share of the net income from the venture under the equity 
method of accounting rather than gross revenues and expenses.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
     Non-interest expense, excluding the $24.5 million SAIF assessment, rose 
1%, or $5.2 million, from a year ago but fell 4%, or $16.3 million, from the 
second quarter. The increase from last year reflects the company's spending 
on strategic initiatives to diversify sources of revenue, improve marketing 
and expand the use of technology for competitive advantage, offset by the 
impact of the HomeSide venture. The decrease from last quarter reflects the 
full quarter impact of transferring costs associated with the residential 
loan servicing operation to HomeSide, partially offset by continued spending 
on strategic initiatives.
     The overhead ratio, which excludes the SAIF assessment, was 57.91% in 
the third quarter, below last year's 60.25% and the prior quarter's 59.43%. 
The lower overhead ratio was achieved as Barnett continued to focus on 
operating businesses where it has the greatest market opportunity as well as 
processing scale and product expertise. The company has recently outsourced 
or formed alliances to run businesses where it does not have those advantages.
     Salaries and benefits increased $8.9 million from the same period last 
year, primarily due to staffing related to strategic initiatives and higher 
performance-based compensation. The $6.2 million decrease from the second 
quarter primarily represents the full quarter impact of the HomeSide venture 
and lower pension expense. The company had 19,045 full-time equivalent 
employees in the third quarter, compared to 19,475 during the second quarter 
and 19,091 a year ago.
     Other expense, excluding the SAIF assessment, decreased 8%, or $9.3 
million, from last year, reflecting the impact of HomeSide partially offset 
by increased marketing and technology expenses related to strategic 
initiatives. Other expense decreased 10%, or $11.9 million, from the second 
quarter reflecting the full quarter impact of HomeSide. Other expense for the 
past seven quarters is shown in TABLE 5.
     The FDIC has advised that it will levy a special assessment to 
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) as a result of 
legislation signed into law on September 30, 1996. The company recognized 
$24.5 million in expense in the third quarter related to this assessment.

ASSET QUALITY
     RISK ELEMENTS. As shown in TABLE 6, non-performing assets were $251 
million on September 30, representing .82% of gross loans plus real estate 
held for sale. By comparison, non-performing assets stood at $282

million, or .92% of outstandings, on the same date last year, and $252 
million, or .82% of outstandings, on June 30. The increasing percentage of 
consumer loans in the loan portfolio has contributed to the reduction of 
non-performing assets because consumer loans, except for residential real 
estate, are generally charged off rather than placed on non-accrual status. 
Consumer loans represent 74% of total loans.
     Borrower experience and financial capacity are critical factors in 
underwriting and approving all loan requests. Barnett's commercial real 
estate loan policies generally require a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%.
     Barnett has reduced its exposure to commercial real estate from a high 
of 28% of loans in 1988 to 9% currently and anticipates maintaining this 
portfolio at or below 15% of loans. The commercial loan portfolio, 
representing 16% of total loans, is not concentrated in any single industry, 
but reflects the broad-based economies in Florida and southern Georgia.
     Barnett's residential loans generally are secured by 1-4 family homes, 
conform to federal agency underwriting standards and have a maximum 
loan-to-value ratio of 80% unless they are protected by mortgage insurance.
     At September 30, 4.57% of residential loans were 30 days or more past 
due compared to 4.07% a year earlier and 4.36% at June 30. At the end of the 
third quarter, 1.15% of residential loans were non-performing compared to 
 .74% a year earlier and 1.04% on June 30. Non-performing residential loans 
and delinquencies have risen for Barnett and the industry as adjustable-rate 
mortgages have repriced upward. Losses in this portfolio were 3 basis points 
in the third quarter and have historically been in the 2-to-5 basis point 
range as Florida's residential real estate values have remained relatively 
stable.
     At September 30, 1.35% of installment loans were 30 days or more past 
due compared to 1.08% a year earlier and at June 30. Barnett's installment 
loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by new and used 
automobiles (59%), home equity loans (23%), government-guaranteed student 
loans (13%) and other secured loans (2%). The remaining 3% of installment 
loans are unsecured.
     At September 30, 4.04% of bank card outstandings were 30 days or more 
past due, up from 3.48% in the second quarter and 2.88% a year earlier.
     NET CHARGE-OFFS. As shown in TABLE 7, net charge-offs were $45.1 
million, up from $34.0 million a year earlier and $39.4 million in the second 
quarter. The increases were primarily a result of increased bank card and 
commercial loan net charge-offs. Bank card net charge-offs were $13.8 million 
higher than the same period last year and $2.9 million higher than the second 
quarter. Bank card losses are expected to decline in the fourth quarter as a 
result of the strategic alliance with Household. As part of this agreement, 
the company sold $776 million of non-core credit card receivables, made up 
primarily of the non-relationship, out of market and lower credit score 
cards, in October. These balances have been the primary source of the 
increased level of losses in the credit card portfolio.
     Total net charge-offs in the third quarter represented an annualized 
 .59% of average outstandings, compared to .52% in the second quarter and .45% 
for the same period last year.
     PROVISION/ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. Barnett's provision expense in the 
third quarter was $44.9 million, compared to $34.2 million in last year's 
third quarter and $39.4 million in the second quarter.
     At September 30, the allowance for loan losses stood at $507.1 million, 
or 1.66% of outstandings, up slightly from a year ago and slightly below June 
30. Management considers the allowance appropriate and adequate to cover 
potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the current economic 
environment.

     The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans 
remained a strong 264% at September 30, compared to 242% a year earlier and 
263% in the second quarter.

TAXES
     Barnett's income tax expense in interim reporting periods is determined 
by estimating the combined federal and state effective tax rate for the year 
and applying this rate to taxable income. The company's effective 
taxable-equivalent tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 was 40% 
compared to 37% last year, primarily reflecting higher state taxes this year 
and the utilization of loss carryforwards in 1995.

LIQUIDITY
     For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan 
commitments and deposit withdrawals. Funds to meet these needs can be 
obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or 
other sources of funding. Many factors affect a bank's ability to meet 
liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served, its 
asset-liability mix, its reputation and credit standing in the market and 
general economic conditions.
     In addition to its traditional in-market deposit sources, Barnett has 
many other sources of liquidity, including proceeds from maturing securities 
and loans, the sale of securities, asset securitization and other 
non-relationship funding sources, such as senior or subordinated debt, bank 
notes, commercial paper and wholesale purchased funds.
     The high proportion of residential and installment loans on Barnett's 
balance sheet provides it with an exceptional amount of contingent liquidity 
through the conventional securitization programs that exist today. Management 
believes that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future 
funding requirements.
     During the quarter, the company utilized a commercial paper facility to 
fund certain consumer lending activities. Borrowings under this facility were 
$416 million at September 30.
     As of September 30, the company had $1.4 billion in debt available under 
existing shelf registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CAPITAL
     At September 30, shareholders' equity totaled $3.3 billion. On September 
6, Barnett's common shares outstanding were increased through a 2-for-1 stock 
split. All historical data used in this report has been restated to reflect 
the split.
     The company continued to use internally generated capital to fund its 
common stock repurchase program. The company repurchased 2.5 million shares 
during the quarter to fund benefit plan needs. Fully diluted shares 
outstanding fell to 194.9 million from 206.9 million a year ago and 196.4 
million last quarter.
     Barnett declared a $.27 dividend for the third quarter, representing a 
dividend payout ratio, excluding the SAIF assessment, of 37%.
     The company is subject to risk-based capital guidelines that measure 
capital relative to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet financial 
instruments. Capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board require 
bank holding companies to have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 
8%, with at least half of total capital in the form of Tier I capital.
     As TABLE 8 shows, Barnett exceeded these capital guidelines on September 
30, with a Tier I capital ratio of 8.84% and a total risk-based capital ratio 
of 11.98%.
     In addition, a leverage ratio is used in connection with the risk-based 
capital standards and is defined as Tier I capital divided by average assets 
for the most recent quarter. The minimum leverage ratio under this standard 
is 3% for the highest-rated bank holding companies which are not undertaking 
significant expansion programs. An additional 1% to 2% may be required for 
other companies, depending upon their regulatory ratings and expansion plans. 
On September 30, 1996, Barnett's leverage ratio was 6.84%, up 49 basis points 
from a year earlier due primarily to lower intangible assets as a result of 
the HomeSide venture.

                                                                   11

the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, all of 
which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included.
     The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended
