(1)      Supplements the maximum number of shares of the Registrant's Common
         Stock to be issued in connection with the merger ("Merger") of First
         National Bank of Tampa ("First National") with and into a wholly-owned
         subsidiary of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Registrant's
         Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-51095), the
         Registrant previously registered 1,250,000 shares of such shares of
         Common Stock, with a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of
         $13,750,000, based upon an estimated maximum offering price per share
         of $11.00 (the mid-point of the estimated range with respect to the
         initial public offering of the Registrant's Common Stock pursuant to a
         Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-50867)). The filing
         of this Registration Statement reflects the additional 125,000 shares
         of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, based upon
         the actual initial public offering price of $10.00, with an aggregate
         of 1,375,000 shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the
         Merger. In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933,
         this Registration Statement shall also register any additional shares
         of the Registrant's Common Stock which may become issuable to prevent
         dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
         transactions as provided by the agreement relating to the Merger.
(2)      Previously paid pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statement on
         Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-51095), as declared effective by the Commission
         on July 9, 1998. As described in note (1) above, the maximum
         aggregate offering price of the shares to be issued in connection with
         the Merger remains $13,750,000, the maximum aggregate offering price
         of the 1,250,000 shares registered pursuant to the Registrant's
         Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-51095); therefore, no
         additional filing fee is required.

   This Registration Statement on Form S-4 amends the Company's earlier
Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-51095, as declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 10, 1998, which is
incorporated by reference, including all exhibits thereto. This Registration
Statement is being filed to register an additional 125,000 shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, based upon the $10.00 initial
offering price of the registrant's Common Stock; however, the maximum aggregate
consideration payable to First National shareholders pursuant to the Merger
remains $13,750,000.
