Bank of Bristol, the shares of Bank of Bristol common stock not owned by the
Corporation as successor to C&L were exchanged for shares of Corporation common
stock held by Bristol Acquisition Corporation, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation. The former stockholders of Bank of Bristol received approximately
64.4737 shares of Corporation common stock, par value $.001 per share, for each
share of Bank of Bristol common stock, par value $10.00 per share, that they
owned. As a result of the share exchange, Bank of Bristol became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation. The former Bank of Bristol stockholders received
an approximate total of 24,500 shares of Corporation common stock, valued at
approximately $249,205.

            Third, pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated February
25, 1999, between the Corporation, C&L, Bank of Bristol and Bank of Blountstown,
the Corporation acquired Bank of Blountstown through a merger of Bank of
Blountstown with and into Bank of Bristol, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation. The former stockholders of Bank of Blountstown received

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
C & L Banking Corporation and Subsidiary
Bristol, Florida

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of C & L Banking
Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and the
related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of C & L Banking Corporation
and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

     C & L Banking Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company
organized under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company owns 98.1% of C &
L Bank of Bristol, a state bank in Bristol, Florida offering a full range of
banking activities including loans. Note 2 contains a description of the
Company's significant accounting and reporting policies.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Principles of Consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, C & L Bank of Bristol (the
"Bank"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     Investment Securities.  The Bank's investments in securities are classified
in two categories and accounted for as follows:

     - Securities to be Held to Maturity:  Bonds, notes and debentures for which
       the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
       reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
       discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest
       method over the period to maturity.

     - Securities Available-for-Sale:  Securities available-for-sale consist of
       bonds, notes, and debentures not classified as securities to be held to
       maturity. These securities are reported at market value, with unrealized
       holding gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
       equity until realized.

     Gains and losses on sale of securities available-for-sale are determined
using specific-identification method.

     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
and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

     Loan Origination Fees and Costs.  Loan origination fees and certain direct
origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield
on the related loan.

     Impaired Loans.  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.

     Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.  Loans are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses.
Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of
the loans by the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using
the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount
outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for
loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate
to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based
on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.
The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the

borrowers' ability to pay. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a
loan becomes 90 days past due as to either interest or principal.

     Bank Premises and Equipment.  Bank premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the
declining balance and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements
which materially prolong the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale
or retirement, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

     Income Taxes.  The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated income tax
returns. Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable
for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on
state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary differences
between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial
statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in
which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or
settled as prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes.

     Net Income Per Share of Common Stock.  Net income per share of common stock
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year.

     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 loss on foreclosed real estate.

     Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments.  In the ordinary course of
business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments
consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are
recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents.  For the purpose of presentation in the
Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts
included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due From Banks".

     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.

     Advertising.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising
expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $30,621,
$29,049 and $37,220, respectively.

NOTE 11 -- PARTICIPATION LOANS

     The Bank has purchased participations in certain loans from various
financial institutions. At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, $-0-, $729,374 and
$411,420, respectively, in participations had been purchased.

     The Bank has originated certain loans and subsequently sold them to
participating financial institutions. At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
$6,022,870, $8,750,888 and $7,548,539, respectively, in loans had been
participated.

     Participation loans totaling $2,669,361, $1,997,316, and $1,386,367 at
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, had been sold to C & L Bank of
Blountstown, an affiliated bank under control of the same Board of Directors as
the Bank.

NOTE 12 -- PENSION PLAN

     The Bank has a 401K plan covering all full-time employees who have
completed six months of service prior to the entry date of January 1. The
employees may contribute up to 10% of their salary. The Bank will match 50% of
the employees' contribution and funds this amount monthly. Pension expense was
$12,783, $12,423 and $14,938 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

NOTE 13 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments to
extend credit which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and
liquidity risk that are not presented in the financial statements. Commitments
to extend credit were approximately $265,330, $954,000 and $1,183,000 at
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. There were no commercial letters of credit
outstanding at year end. The commitments are both unsecured and collateralized
by real estate, time deposits, and equipment. These commitments include exposure
to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer.

     The Bank uses the same credit policies and procedures in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for extension of credit recorded on the
balance sheet. Because many of these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash and liquidity requirements to
the Bank. The Bank does not anticipate any material loss as a result of the
commitments.

     The Bank is subject to various litigations and claims during the normal
course of banking procedures and foreclosures. Management, after consultation
with legal counsel, believes that any liabilities, if any, arising from such
litigation and claims will not be material to the Bank's financial position.

     In order to qualify as a depository for public funds, the Bank entered into
an agreement pursuant to the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. In
connection therewith, the Bank agreed to collectively share in any loss to
public depositors caused by default or insolvency of other qualified public
depositories.

NOTE 14 -- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     Substantially all of the Bank's loans and commitments have been granted to
customers in the Bank's market area. The majority of the customers are
depositors of the Bank, approximately 40% are associated with the timber
industry. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.
A large portion of loans are made to individuals and businesses in the logging
sector which has experienced difficulties which could affect their ability to
pay. The Bank, as a matter of policy and state statute, does not extend credit
to any single borrowers or group of related borrowers in excess of $1,108,883
unless a portion is participated or secured by certificates of deposits. Cash
and Due from Banks includes $1,043,571 in excess of federally insured limits at
December 31, 1998.

NOTE 15 -- REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements 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 Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

     As of December 31, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage 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. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also
presented in the table.

NOTE 16 -- YEAR 2000

     The year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronics
data-processing systems and other equipment that may affect operations in the
year 1999 and beyond. C & L Bank of Bristol has taken steps to ensure that
computer systems and other electronic equipment critical to conducting
operations are year 2000 compliant. The Bank has formed a task force composed of
employees from critical areas who have identified and assessed critical computer
and electronic equipment systems. According to management, the Bank has
completed their testing of critical systems and equipment.

NOTE 17 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     C & L Banking Corporation and C & L Bank of Bristol signed a letter of
intent on January 25, 1999 to merge with The Banc Corporation in Birmingham,
Alabama. A definitive agreement was signed on February 23, 1999. According to
management, this merger should take place close to the end of May, pending State
and Federal approval. It is intended that the merger be accounted for as a
"pooling of interest," and to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. The
agreement will be void if the transaction has not been completed by September
30, 1999.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
C & L Bank of Blountstown
Blountstown, Florida

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of C & L Bank of
Blountstown as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements
of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of C & L Bank of Blountstown as
of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                           C & L BANK OF BLOUNTSTOWN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

     C & L Bank of Blountstown (the Bank) was incorporated in Florida on June 1,
1987, for the purpose of collecting deposits and making loans. The bank opened
for business on August 31, 1987. The bank offers a full range of banking
activities, including making loans and offering checking, savings, and time
deposit accounts. The following is a description of the Bank's significant
accounting and reporting policies.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investment Securities.  The Bank's investments in securities are classified
in two categories and accounted for as follows:

     * Securities to be Held to Maturity: Bonds, notes and debentures for which
       the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
       reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
       discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest
       method over the period to maturity.

     * Securities Available-for-Sale: Securities available-for-sale consist of
       bonds, notes, and debentures not classified as securities to be held to
       maturity.

     Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities
available-for-sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized.

     Gains and losses on sale of securities available-for-sale are determined
using the specific-identification method.

     Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest
method over the period to maturity.

     Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary
result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The
related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.

     Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.  Loans are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses.
Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of
the loans by the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using
the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount
outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for
loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate
to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based
on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.
The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers'
ability to pay. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan
becomes 90 days past due as to either interest or principal. When interest
accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest
income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.

     Loan Origination Fees and Costs.  Loan origination fees and certain direct
origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield
on the related loan.

     Bank Premises and Equipment.  Bank premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the
straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements
which materially prolong the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale
or retirement, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

     Income Taxes.  Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or
refundable for the current year, deferred taxes on temporary differences between
the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income, and between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial
statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in
which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or
settled as prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes.

     Net Income Per Share of Common Stock.  Net income per share of common stock
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year.

     Other Real Estate.  Other real estate, acquired through partial or total
satisfaction of loans, is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. At
the date of acquisition, any losses are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. If it is later determined that the cost of the property cannot be
recovered through sale, additional loss is recognized immediately by a charge to
income with a corresponding writedown of the asset. Costs incurred to get
property in a condition for sale upon foreclosure are capitalized. Foreclosure
costs and subsequent holding costs are expensed as incurred.

     Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments.  In the ordinary course of
business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments
consisting of commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit.
Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they
become payable.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents.  For the purpose of presentation in the
Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts
included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due From Banks".

     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.

     Advertising.  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising
expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $31,086,
$45,973 and $62,863, respectively.

NOTE 8 -- RELATED PARTIES

     C & L Bank of Blountstown is affiliated with C & L Bank of Bristol by
virtue of common Board of Directors. Loan participations are purchased and sold
between the two institutions. See Note 9.

     Loans to directors and officers of the Bank amounted to approximately
$803,038, $953,230 and $783,585 at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. These loans
were made on substantially the same terms, including interest and collateral, as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers.

     The aggregate amount of time deposits held by the Bank from directors
totaled $161,228, $275,426 and $290,350 at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

NOTE 9 -- PARTICIPATION LOANS

     The Bank has originated certain loans and subsequently sold them to
participating financial institutions. At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, $963,365, $1,407,856 and $439,939 in loans had been participated.
Of this amount, $0, $423,687 and $19,605 were sold to C & L Bank of Bristol, an
affiliated bank, at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Bank has also purchased certain loans from participating financial
institutions, totaling $2,958,552, $2,303,004 and $1,708,804 at December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 10 -- PENSION PLAN

     The Bank has a 401K plan covering all full-time employees who have
completed six months of service prior to the entry of date of January 1. The
employees may contribute up to 10% of their salary. The Bank will match 50% of
the employees' contribution and funds this amount monthly. Pension expense was
$7,458, $8,636 and $8,081 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments to
extend credit which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and
liquidity risk that are not presented in the financial statements. These consist
of commitments to extend credit (lines of credit) and commercial letters of
credit. Commitments to extend credit amounted to $2,203,845, $2,066,881 and
$1,740,553 and commercial letters of credit amounted to $115,247, $120,000 and
$184,541 at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These commitments
and letters of credit are both unsecured and secured by real estate, time
deposits, and equipment. These commitments and letters of credit include
exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The
Bank uses the same credit policies and procedures in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for extension of credit recorded on the
balance sheet. Because many of these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash and liquidity requirements to
the Bank. The Bank does not anticipate any material loss as a result of the
commitments.

     The Bank is subject to various litigation and claims during the normal
course of banking procedures and foreclosures. Management believes that
liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be
material to the Bank's financial position.

     In order to qualify as a depository for public funds, the Bank entered into
an agreement pursuant to the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. In
connection therewith, the Bank agreed to collectively share in any loss to
public depositors caused by default or insolvency of other qualified public
depositories.

NOTE 12 -- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     Substantially all of the Bank's loans and commitments have been granted to
customers in the Bank's market area. The majority of the customers are
depositors of the Bank, less than 10% are associated with any particular
industry. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.
The Bank, as a matter of policy and state statute, does not extend credit to any
single borrowers or group of related borrowers in excess of $957,895 unless a
portion is participated or secured by certificates of deposits. Cash and due
from banks includes $1,120,419 in excess of federally insured limits at December
31, 1998.

     Rental expense was $52,710, $39,056 and $34,492 for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 15 -- REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements 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 Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.

     As of December 31, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage 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. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also
presented in the table.

NOTE 16 -- YEAR 2000

     The year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronic
data-processing systems and other equipment that may affect operations in the
year 1999 and beyond. C & L Bank of Blountstown has taken steps to ensure that
computer systems and other electronic equipment critical to conducting
operations are year 2000 compliant. The Bank has formed a task force composed of
employees from critical areas who have identified and assessed critical computer
and electronic equipment systems. According to the Bank's management, the Bank
has completed their testing of critical systems and equipment.

NOTE 17 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     C & L Bank of Blountstown signed a letter of intent on January 25, 1999 to
merge with The Banc Corporation in Birmingham, Alabama. A definitive agreement
was signed on February 23, 1999. According to management, this merger should
take place close to the end of May, pending State and Federal approval. It is
intended that the merger be accounted for as a "pooling of interest," and to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization. The agreement will be void if the
transaction has not been completed by September 30, 1999.
