PART I
ITEM 1.--DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. ("Admiralty" or the "Company") is a one bank
holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware and a registered bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"BHCA"). The Company is a holding company for Admiralty Bank, a Florida state
chartered commercial bank and member of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Bank"). The Bank operates through its main office located in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida and four branch offices located in Boca Raton, Juno Beach,
Jupiter, and it's recently opened office in Melbourne, Florida.
The Bank's deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The
operations of the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the
Federal Reserve Bank and the Florida Department of Banking (the "Department").
The principal executive offices of the Bank are located at 4400 PGA Boulevard,
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410 and the telephone number is (561) 624-4701.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The Company conducts a traditional commercial banking business and offers
services including personal and business checking accounts and time deposits,
money market accounts and regular savings accounts. The Company structures its
specific services and charges in a manner designed to attract the business of
(i) small and medium-sized businesses, and the owners and managers of these
entities; (ii) professionals and middle managers of locally-based corporations;
and (iii) individuals residing, working and shopping in the Palm Beach, Broward
and Brevard Counties, Florida trade area serviced by the Company. The Company
engages in a wide range of lending activities and offers commercial, consumer,
residential and non-residential mortgage and construction loans.
On March 11, 2000, the Company became a financial holding company under
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (the "Modernization
Act"). See "Recent Regulatory Enactments and Proposals." This status permits
the Company to undertake financial activities which need not be closely related
to banking, such as insurance brokerage activities. Under the Modernization
Act, the Company's bank subsidiary must remain "well capitalized" (i.e. have a
leveraged capital ratio of 5% or greater and a risk based capital ratio of 10%
or greater) and well managed, or the Company could be required to divest itself
of its non-banking activities. In addition, the Company must maintain a rating
of "satisfactory" or better under the Community Reinvestment Act. The Company
intends to seek alliances with an insurance agency, and perhaps other financial
service providers, as a way to enhance non-interest income.
SERVICE AREA
The Company's service area primarily consists of Palm Beach, Broward and
Brevard Counties, Florida, although the Company makes loans throughout Florida.
The Company operates through its main office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and
branch offices in Boca Raton, Juno Beach, Jupiter and Melbourne, Florida.
COMPETITION
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment competing for
deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrifts and other financial
institutions, many of which have greater financial resources than the Company.
Many large financial institutions compete for business in the Company's service
area. Certain of these institutions have significantly higher lending limits
than the Company and provide services to their customers which the Company does
not offer.
2
<PAGE>
Management believes the Company is able to compete favorably with its
competitors because it provides responsive personalized services through
management's knowledge and awareness of the Company's service area, customers
and business.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1999, the Company employed 49 full-time employees and 4
part-time employees. None of these employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement and the Company believes that its employee relations are
good.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both
federal and state law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect
depositors, not stockholders. To the extent that the following information
describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change
in the applicable law or Regulation may have a material effect on the business
and prospects of the Company and the Bank.
BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
As a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, the Company is
subject to the regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("FRB"). The Company is required to file with the FRB
annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and
those of its subsidiaries.
The BHCA requires, among other things, the prior approval of the FRB in
any case where a bank holding company proposes to (i) acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of any other bank, (ii) acquire direct or
indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock
of any bank (unless it owns a majority of such Company's voting shares) or
(iii) merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. The FRB will
not approve any acquisition, merger, or consolidation that would have a
substantially anti-competitive effect, unless the anti-competitive impact of
the proposed transaction is clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in
meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The FRB also
considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial resources and
future prospects of the companies and the banks concerned, together with the
convenience and needs of the community to be served, when reviewing
acquisitions or mergers.
The BHCA has been substantially amended by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Financial Modernization Act of 1999. See "Recent Regulatory Enactments and
Proposals." The portion of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act
effecting the powers of the Company become effective March 11, 2000. Prior to
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act, the BHCA prohibited a bank
holding company, with certain limited exceptions, from (i) acquiring or
retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the
outstanding voting stock of any company which is not a bank or bank holding
company, or (ii) engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those
of banking, managing or controlling banks, or performing services for its
subsidiaries, unless such non-banking business is determined by the FRB to be
so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be
properly incident thereto.
There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding
companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by law and regulatory
policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such
depository institutions and the FDIC insurance funds in the event the
depository institution becomes in danger of default. Under a policy of the FRB
with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is
required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary
depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in
circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. The FRB also has the
authority under
3
<PAGE>
the BHCA to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to
relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary upon the FRB's determination that
such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness
and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
RECENT REGULATORY ENACTMENTS AND PROPOSALS. On November 12, 1999, the
President signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999
into law. The Modernization Act will, among other things:
/bullet/ allow bank holding companies meeting management, capital and
Community Reinvestment Act standards to engage in a
substantially broader range of nonbanking activities than
currently is permissible, including insurance underwriting and
making merchant banking investments in commercial and
financial companies;
/bullet/ allow insurers and other financial services companies to
acquire banks or bank holding companies;
/bullet/ remove various restrictions that currently apply to bank
holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund
advisory companies; and
/bullet/ establish the overall regulatory structure applicable to bank
holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities
operations.
This part of the Modernization Act will become effective on March 11,
2000. The Modernization Act also modifies other current financial laws,
including laws related to financial privacy and community reinvestment. The new
financial privacy provisions will generally prohibit financial institutions,
including us, from disclosing nonpublic personal financial information to third
parties unless customers have the opportunity to "opt out" of the disclosure.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES FOR BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. In January 1989,
the FRB adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The
risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks and bank
holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, and to minimize
disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under these guidelines, assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories each with
appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.
The risk-based guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding
companies with consolidated assets of $150 million or more. For bank holding
companies with less than $150 million in consolidated assets, the guidelines
will be applied on a bank-only basis unless: (a) the parent bank holding
company is engaged in nonbank activity involving significant leverage; or (b)
the parent company has a significant amount of outstanding debt that is held by
the general public.
The minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including
certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%.
At least 4% of the total capital is required to be "Tier I Capital," consisting
of common stockholders' equity and qualifying preferred stock, less certain
goodwill items and other intangible assets. The remainder ("Tier II Capital")
may consist of (a) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets, (b) non-qualifying preferred stock, (c) hybrid capital
instruments, (d) perpetual debt, (e) mandatory convertible securities, and (f)
qualifying subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock up to 50% of
Tier I capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital less
reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations' capital instruments,
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and any other deductions as
determined by the FRB (determined on a case by case basis or as a matter of
policy after formal rule-making).
Bank holding company assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and
100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given similar credit
conversion factors to convert them to asset
4
<PAGE>
equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weight will apply. These
computations result in the total risk-weighted assets. Most loans are assigned
to the 100% risk category, except for performing first mortgage loans fully
secured by residential property which carry a 50% risk-weighting and loans
secured by deposits in the Bank which carry a 20% risk weighting. Most
investment securities (including, primarily, general obligation claims of
states or other political subdivisions of the United States) are assigned to
the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds, which have a 50%
risk-weight, and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury or obligations backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which have a 0%
risk-weight. In converting off-balance sheet items, direct credit substitutes
including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing financial
obligations are given a 100% risk-weighting. Transaction related contingencies
such as bid bonds, standby letters of credit backing nonfinancial obligations,
and undrawn commitments (including commercial credit lines with an initial
maturity of more than one year) have a 50% risk-weighting. Short term
commercial letters of credit have a 20% risk-weighting and certain short-term
unconditionally cancelable commitments have a 0% risk-weighting.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB has adopted a
minimum Tier I capital (leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company
must maintain a minimum level of Tier I capital to average total consolidated
assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company that has the
highest regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating significant
growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain
a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum.
BANK REGULATION
As a Florida chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the
regulation, supervision, and control of the Department. As a member of the
Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and
control of the FRB. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is subject to
regulation, supervision and control of the FDIC, an agency of the federal
government. The regulations of the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Department
impact virtually all activities of the Bank, including the minimum level of
capital the Bank must maintain, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, the
ability of the Bank to expand through new branches or acquisitions and various
other matters.
INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to
applicable limits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. Accordingly,
the Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the BIF. Under
the FDIC's insurance premium assessment system, each institution is assigned to
one of nine assessment risk classifications based on its capital ratios and
supervisory evaluations. The lowest risk institutions do not pay any insurance
premium, while the highest risk institutions pay a premium assessed at the rate
of .27% of domestic deposits. Each institution's classification under the
system is re-examined semiannually. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to
increase or decrease such rates on a semiannual basis. In addition to insurance
premium assessments, under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the
"Deposit Act"), commercial banks like the Bank are required to pay a portion of
the interest and principal owed on bonds issued by the Federal Financing
Corporation ("FICO") to assist the thrift bailout in the mid- 1980's. BIF
insured commercial banks like the Bank are assessed 2.12 basis points of their
assessed deposits in satisfaction of this FICO payment, in addition to deposit
insurance premiums. The Deposit Act also calls for the federal banking agencies
to study the various financial institution charters and propose a single
standard federal charter, thereby doing away with the separate bank and thrift
charters. Management of the Company is not able to predict at this time whether
the federal regulators will adopt a unified charter nor to predict the impact
of any proposed change upon the Bank.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Pursuant to the provisions of the Florida Banking Code, a
Florida state chartered bank may quarterly, semi-annually or annually declare a
dividend out of the Company's net profits for the dividend period and retained
net profits from the preceding two years. In addition, with the approval of the
Florida Department of Banking and Finance, a bank may declare a dividend from
5
<PAGE>
retained profits which have accrued in periods prior to the preceding two
years, provided that in this circumstance the bank must make an addition to its
surplus fund equal to at least 20% of its net profits from the preceding
period. No Florida state chartered bank may declare a dividend if it has
incurred a loss for its current period plus the two preceding years, or which
would cause the capital account of the bank to fall below the minimum amount
required by law or regulation.
ITEM 2.--DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Bank leases its main office in Palm Beach Gardens and its branch
offices in Boca Raton, Juno Beach, Jupiter and Melbourne, Florida. In addition,
the Bank maintains an operations center in North Palm Beach and has a lease on
space in Lake Worth, Florida into which the operations center will be moving in
April 2000. The Bank will attempt to sub-let the North Palm Beach space after
the operations department moves to Lake Worth. The Bank's lease on this
property expires July 31, 2001. The Bank is also leasing office space in
Melbourne, Florida which is being used as a temporary branch while its
permanent facility is being built out. The following table sets forth certain
information regarding these leases:

in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as claims
to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property
loans, and other issues incident to the business of the Company and the Bank.
Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding
against the Company or the Bank which, if determined adversely, would have a
material effect on the business or financial position of the Company.

ITEM 6A.--SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA
The current management team and board of directors of the Company acquired
the Company on January 22, 1998 (the "Change In Control"). Prior to the Change
In Control and the Company's public offering in the fall of 1998, the Company
was a privately held institution (the "Predecessor Company"). The Company's
historic financial statements included in this filing for the 12-months ended
December 31, 1998 do not include the first 21-days of operations of the Company
in January of 1998, prior to the Change In Control. To ensure comparability
with prior year periods, the income statement data discussed in the Management
Discussion and Analysis section hereof for the year ended December 31, 1998 are
based upon pro forma data for the Company assuming the Change in Control had
occurred on January 1, 1998. To assist in the review of the following
management discussion and analysis, the Company is presenting the following
selected information regarding the Company, which should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements, including the notes

ITEM 6.--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined under
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company desires to take
advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of Section 21E and is including this
statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of the
safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These forward-
looking statements, which are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis,
describe future plans or strategies and may include the Company's expectations
of future financial results. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate",
"estimate", "project", and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future
plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes based on market risk
exposure is inherently uncertain. Factors which could effect actual results
include but are not limited to i) change in general market interest rates, ii)
general economic conditions, both in the United States generally and in the
Company's market area, iii) legislative/regulatory changes, iv) monetary and
fiscal policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve, v) changes in the
quality or composition of the Company's loan and investment portfolios, vi)
demand for loan products, vii) deposit flows, viii) competition, and ix) demand
for financial services in the Company's markets. These factors should be
considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.
OVERVIEW
The current management team and board of directors of the Company acquired
the Company on January 22, 1998, (the "Change In Control"). Prior to the Change
In Control and the Company's public offering, the Company was a privately held
institution (the "Predecessor Company"). The Company's historic financial
statements included in this filing for the year ended December 31, 1998, do not
include the first 21 days of operations in January of 1998, prior to the Change
In Control. However, to ensure comparability with current year periods, the
income statement data discussed for the year ended December 31, 1998, are based
upon pro forma data for the Company assuming the Change in Control had occurred
on January 1, 1998.
On March 22, 1999, the Board of Directors resolved to treat both classes
of the Company's stock equally, in terms of the amount of dividends declared
and the form of payment of dividends. This resolution and new dividend policy
was effective January 1, 1999. Accordingly, effective January 1, 1999, earnings
per share is no longer being computed under the two class method.
For the year ended December 31,1999 the Company generated net income of
$252 thousand or $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $444 thousand in
1998 which equates to earnings per share of $0.50 per Class A share and a loss
of $1.06 per Class B share.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's total assets reached $140.0 million,
an increase of 73.3% over total assets at December 31, 1998, the Company's net
loans totaled $99.8 million, an increase of 113.3% over net loans at December
31, 1998 and the Company's deposits totaled $110.3 million, an increase of
81.6% over total deposits at December 31, 1998. The increases are generally due
to the Company's aggressive return to and penetration of its service area, both
through its management team (which came to the Company in the second half of
1998) and through its new office locations.
During 1999 management undertook an analysis of the Company's arrangement
with an outside service provider to continue to provide data processing
services and items processing services to the Bank. Management determined it
would benefit the Company to bring these processes in house in order to gain
economies of scale as the Bank grows which would not have been available as a
serviced
10
<PAGE>
institution. In order to accommodate this transition the Company will lease a
larger operations center, purchase computer equipment, communications equipment
and items processing equipment, and buy licensing to the banking software
package on which it currently operates. The costs of designing, acquiring and
operating in the in house environment are not expected to significantly impact
net income in 2000 and the Company should begin to benefit from the economies
of scale in the following years as the total footings and the volume of
transactions increase. As part of the migration to the in house system
additional features will be added to the current system to provide enhanced
services to our customers. The most significant addition will be the addition
of internet banking capabilities which will allow customers to review their
accounts and transfer between loan and deposit accounts through the internet.
The internet banking module will be complimented by a bill paying module which
will allow customers to pay bills through the internet. Many members of the
Company's management team have experience with in house data and items
processing and do not expect this migration to disrupt business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on its
interest-earning assets and fees earned servicing loans which the Company has
sold and the interest paid on funds borrowed to support those assets, such as
deposits. In addition, the Company earns commission income in connection with
sales of the guaranteed portion of loans originated under the Small Business
Administration guaranteed loan program. Net interest margin is a function of
the difference between the weighted average rate received on interest-earning
assets and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as
well as the average level of interest- bearing assets as compared with that of
interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is also affected by the amount of
non-interest income and operating expenses.
NET INCOME
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company produced a net profit of
$252 thousand, an increase of $696 thousand from a pro forma net loss of $444
thousand for the year ended December 31, 1998. The period to period increase in
reported net income is attributable to an increase in the Company's net
interest income partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses as the
Company incurred costs to enhance the value of its franchise and a reduction in
the gain on sales of loans from those recognized in 1998.
INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income increased $3.7 million, or 86.6%, to $7.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $4.2 million in 1998. This increase
in interest income primarily relates to an increase in the Company's average
balance of earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in average rates.
Average balances increased by $42.5 million for loans, $1.4 million for
investment securities and $3.5 million for federal funds sold. The average
yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 9.1% from 10.7%, the average yield on
investment securities, including Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock, increased
to 6.1% from 5.8% and the average yield on federal funds sold decreased to 4.8%
from 5.1% in 1999 as compared to 1998 reflecting lower market rates of interest
on loans. During 1999, as the Company's asset mix continued to shift toward a
greater percentage of loans newly originated in the current rate environment,
the Company's yield on interest earning assets decreased to 8.2% from the 8.6%
earned during 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE
The Company's interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999,
increased $1.3 million, or 110.1%, to $2.4 million from $1.1 million for 1998.
The increase in interest expense reflects an 98.4%
11
<PAGE>
increase in average interest bearing liabilities during 1999 coupled with an
increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 3.8% from
3.6% partially offset by a shift in the Company's deposit gathering philosophy,
away from time deposits and toward lower rate transactional accounts. The
average balance of time deposits, money market deposits and NOW deposits
increased by $7.1 million, $18.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in
1999, as compared to 1998. During 1999 the average rate paid by the Company on
its money market accounts increased to 4.1% from 2.8% in 1998. In addition, the
average balance of the Company's non-interest bearing demand deposits increased
by $10.8 million, to $23.8, from $13.0 million at December 31, 1998. The
Company also entered into a repurchase agreement in 1999. The average balance
of the repurchase agreement was $1.8 million at an average cost of 6.2%. The
changes to the Company's deposit portfolio and entry into the repurchase
agreement increased the Company's average cost of interest bearing liabilities
to 3.8% for 1999 compared to 3.6% in 1998.
NET-INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income increased by $2.4 million, or 77.8%, over 1998. The
Company's net interest spread decreased 61 basis points to 4.4% for 1999 from
5.0% in 1998. The Company's net yield on interest earning assets decreased to
5.6% in 1999 from 6.2% in 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The increase in the provision for loan losses for 1999 compared to 1998 is
reflective of the significant growth in the loan portfolio during 1999 as
compared to the prior year. The Company's provision for loan losses maintained
the reserve at a level management believes appropriate in light of the
Company's lending activities, the quality of the loan portfolio, historical
experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the status of
past due and nonperforming loans, the general economic conditions of the
Company's lending area and other factors affecting collectibility of the
Company's loan portfolio. The Company had net charge-offs of $110 thousand and
did not experience any material change in its level of classified loans during
1999. While the Company's management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on
changes in economic conditions, the financial status of borrowers and
regulatory requirements.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income increased by $222 thousand, or 26.0%, over last
year. The increase includes a $304 thousand increase in service charges and
fees. The significant changes in the service charges and fees is primarily
composed of the following: a $319 thousand, or 126%, increase in service
charges on deposits of which $240 thousand represents increased non-sufficient
funds and overdraft charges, a $30 thousand, or 187%, increase in wire transfer
fees, a reduction of $29 thousand, or 11%, in serviced loan fees and a
reduction of $26 thousand, or 100%, in loan funding fees due to the cessation
of a residential loan origination and sale program. The Company also
experienced a $39 thousand dollar loss on sale of securities in 1998 compared
to no losses on sales of securities in 1999, a reduction of $144 thousand in
gains from the sales of loans due to a lower volume of SBA loan sales in 1999
and a $23 thousand gain on sale of other assets in 1999 compared with no gains
in 1998.
14
<PAGE>
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
The Company's non-interest expense for 1999 increased over non-interest
expense for 1998. For 1999, the Company's total non-interest expense was $5.4
million, compared to total non-interest expense of $4.0 million for 1998. The
increase in non-interest expense reflects increased compensation and employee
benefit expense as the Company hired a new senior management team, including
Ward Kellogg, the Company's new president and his team of community bankers.
Full time equivalent employees increased from 45 at December 31, 1998 to 51 at
December 31, 1999, reflecting increases necessary both to administer the
Company's growing loan and deposit portfolios and to staff the Boca Raton
office. The Company incurred an increase in occupancy and furniture and
equipment expenses as the Company opened its fourth office, in Boca Raton,
Florida, and relocated its Jupiter office to larger, more modern quarters.
Goodwill amortization totaled $154 thousand and $147 thousand for 1999 and 1998
respectively. The Company also experienced the following changes in other
non-interest expenses related primarily to its growth: insurance expense
increased $51 thousand, or 96%, data processing fees increased $73 thousand, or
28%, legal fees increased $18 thousand, or 16%, telephone expense increased $23
thousand, or 28%, stationery and supplies increased $45 thousand, or 56%, audit
expense increased $91 thousand, or 147%, dues, subscriptions and publications
expense decreased $12 thousand or 38%, Y2K expenses were $19 thousand compared
to no such expenses in 1998 and amortization of SBA loan servicing assets was
$20 thousand or 44% lower in 1999 due to fewer loans paying off early during
1999 compared to 1998.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense increased to $384 thousand for 1999, from no income tax
expense for 1998, primarily due to an increase in pretax accounting income.
Non-deductible expenses for goodwill amortization and the establishment of a
deferred tax valuation allowance have resulted in the unusually high effective
tax rate for the year of 60%.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had unused net operating loss
carry-forwards of approximately $1.1 million for Federal and Florida Income Tax
purposes expiring through 2008. These loss carry-forwards reflect the maximum
benefit that can be obtained from the net operating losses due to limitation
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998
At December 31, 1999, the Company's total assets were $140.0 million,
compared to $80.7 million at December 31, 1998. Increases in total assets
included increases of $53.0 million in net loans, $18.0 million in investment
securities held to maturity, and $728 thousand in premises and equipment, net
of accumulated depreciation. Federal funds sold decreased $13.3 million. Total
deposits were $110.3 million at December 31, 1999 compared to $60.7 million at
December 31, 1998.
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
At December 31 1999, cash and due from banks increased $1.1 million to
accommodate the Company's growth and as a result of the accumulation of cash in
preparation for the year 2000 calendar date change. Federal funds sold
decreased by $13.3 million from December 31, 1998. The decrease is attributable
primarily to the Company's loan and investment portfolio growth outpacing
deposit growth during the period.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
The $53.0 million increase in net loans is comprised primarily of $9.8
million in commercial loans, $30.7 million in non-residential real estate
loans, $7.1 million in residential real estate loans, and $5.2
15
<PAGE>
million in construction loans. The increase is the result of the new management
team's efforts to attract new business and expand relationships with existing
customers.
The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by real
estate, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans. Real estate
loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and
loans for the construction of commercial or residential property. Consumer
loans are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods,
home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the
property being purchased.
The Company's loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in
Palm Beach, Broward and Brevard Counties, Florida. The Company has not made
loans to borrowers outside of the United States. Commercial lending activities
are focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers. The Company
believes that its strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures and
selective marketing have enabled the Company to gain market entry to local
loans. Bank mergers by larger banks competing with the Company have also
contributed to the Company's efforts to attract borrowers.
The following schedule presents the components of loans, by type, as of
December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

ASSET QUALITY
The Company's principal earning assets are its loans. Inherent in the
lending function is the risk of the borrower's inability to repay their loan
under its existing terms. Risk elements include non-accrual loans, past due and
restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations and other real
estate owned.
Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest
(non-accrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a
period of 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on such non-accrual status,
all accumulated accrued interest receivable, applicable to periods prior to the
current year, is charged off to the allowance for loan losses and all interest
accrued applicable to the current year is backed out of current period income.
Until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are
applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that
the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of
such payments as interest.
The Company attempts to minimize overall credit risk through loan
diversification and its loan approval procedures. The Company's due diligence
begins at the time a borrower and the Company begin to discuss the origination
of a loan. Documentation, including a borrower's credit history, materials
establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of
the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors
are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also
subject to periodic review.
During 1999, the Company's non-accrual loans increased by $45 thousand to
$154 thousand at December 31, 1999 from $109 thousand at December 31, 1998.
This balance represents one loan placed in non-accrual status during October
1999. This loan is subject to a workout agreement, and management believes that
the loan is adequately secured and does not anticipate that the Company will
incur a material loss on this credit. Other real estate owned increased to $108
thousand at December 31, 1999 from $8 thousand at December 31, 1998. The
balance represents one single family residence acquired through foreclosure in
December 1999. The foreclosed loan was covered by mortgage insurance.
Management does not anticipate the Company will incur a material loss upon
liquidation of the property.

non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company attempts to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a
sufficient level to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Loan
losses are charged directly to the allowance when they occur and any recovery
is credited to the allowance.
Risks within the loan portfolio are analyzed on a continuous basis by the
Company's officers, by outside, independent loan review auditors and by the
Company's Directors Loan Committee. A risk system, consisting of multiple
grading categories, is utilized as an analytical tool to assess risk and
appropriate reserves. The Company segregates the loan portfolio for loan loss
purposes into segments based upon the underlying collateral. The Company
provides for a general allowance for losses inherent in the portfolio by the
collateral categories. General loss percentages are calculated based upon
historical analyses as well as estimates of the inherent losses which probably
exist as of the evaluation date even though they might not have been identified
by the more objective processes used. This is due to the risk of error and/or
inherent imprecision in the process. This portion of the allowance is
particularly subjective and requires judgments based on qualitative factors
which do not lend themselves to exact mathematical calculations such as: trends
in delinquencies and nonaccruals; migration trends in the portfolio; trends in
volume, terms, and portfolio mix; new credit products and/
or changes in the geographic distribution of those products; changes in lending
policies and procedures; loan review reports on the efficacy of the risk
identification process; changes in the outlook for local, regional and national
economic conditions; concentrations of credit; and peer group comparisons.
Specific allowances are provided in the event that the specific analysis on
each classified loan indicates that the probable loss would be in excess of the
general percentage allocation. The provision for loan loss is debited or
credited in order to state the allowance for loan losses to the required level
as determined above. Along with the risk system, management further evaluates
risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current and anticipated
economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of
the borrower, past and expected loss experience, and other factors management
feels deserve recognition in establishing an appropriate reserve. These
estimates are reviewed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become
necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.
Additions to the allowance are made by provisions charged to expense and
the allowance is reduced by net charge-offs (i.e., loans judged to be
uncollectible and charged against the reserve, less any recoveries on such
loans). Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level
deemed adequate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon
changes in market conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. These agencies may
require the Company to take additional provisions based on their judgments
about information available to them at the time of their examination.
The Company's allowance for possible loan losses totaled $1.0 million and
$602 thousand at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Company maintains an investment portfolio to fund increased loan
demand or decreased deposits and other liquidity needs and to provide an
additional source of interest income. The portfolio is composed primarily of
U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. Government agencies and
government sponsored entities, including collateralized mortgage obligations
issued by such agencies and entities, and to a lesser extent collateralized
mortgage obligations issued by non-public entities. The Bank also owns shares
in the Bankers' Bancorporation of Florida, Inc. As a Federal Reserve Member
Bank, the Bank also holds stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
19
<PAGE>
and, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Bank also owns
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. For purposes of the following discussion, the
Company does not consider the Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan
Bank stock to be investment securities.
The Company classifies its investment securities as either held to
maturity or available for sale. Investment securities are classified as
securities held to maturity based on management's intent and the Company's
ability to hold them to maturity. Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted
for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts. Securities that are bought and
held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are
classified as trading securities, which are carried at market value. Realized
gains and losses and gains and losses from marking the portfolio to market
value are included in trading revenue. Securities not classified as securities
held to maturity or trading securities are classified as securities available
for sale, and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
securities available for sale are excluded from results of operations, and are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of taxes.
Securities classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold
in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, the need
to increase regulatory capital or other similar requirement.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
time of purchase. At December 31, 1999 the Company had $8.9 million and $18.0
million of its investment portfolio classified as available for sale and held
to maturity, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the Company's entire
investment securities portfolio of $9.4 million was classified as available for
sale.
The $18.0 million increase in the investment held to maturity portfolio is
comprised of purchases of mortgage-backed securities to augment the overall
portfolio as the Bank grows and other mortgage-backed securities pay down, and
the purchase of a $10 million, 20 year FHLMC mortgage-backed security purchased
in a transaction leveraged by borrowing $9.0 million under a repurchase
agreement. As part of the Change in Control the Company restructured its
securities portfolio including the sale of $2.9 million of investment
securities in early 1998 which resulted in a net loss of $39 thousand.
The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Company's
securities portfolio as of the dates indicated.

thousand were realized on those sales in 1998. Securities pledged to secure
public funds on deposit were $498 thousand at December 31, 1999 and no
securities were pledged to secure public funds on deposits at December 31,
1998.
OTHER ASSETS
Accrued interest receivable increased $376 thousand as a result of growth
in the loan and investment portfolios. Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock and
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock increased as the result of purchases of
additional FHLB stock in compliance with the FHLB's membership requirements.
The Company's net investment in premises and equipment increased $728 thousand
primarily as a result of the build out and opening of its Boca Raton branch.
DEPOSITS
Deposits are the Company's primary source of funds. During 1999, the
Company's deposits increased by $49.6 million, or 81.6%, to $110.3 million at
December 31, 1999 from $60.7 million at December 31, 1998. During 1999, the
Company's deposit portfolio shifted away from time deposits and toward
transaction and money market accounts. This shift reflected the Company's
increased emphasis on business accounts. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, average
demand deposits were $23.8 million and $13.0 million representing 27.7% and
28.8%, respectively, of average total deposits. Average money market deposits
were $26.1 million and $7.5 million representing 30.3% and 16.7% of average
total deposits in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Average time deposits were $22.3
million and $15.2 million, representing 25.9% and 33.7%, of average total
deposits in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's cost of deposits for
1999 was 2.69%, compared to 2.54% for the year ended December 31, 1998.

FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE
The Company had federal funds purchased of $571 thousand at December 31,
1999 while it had no federal funds purchased at December 31, 1998. Growth in
the loan and investment portfolios in
22
<PAGE>
excess of growth in the deposit portfolio resulted in the Company purchasing
these overnight funds. The Company entered into a $9.0 million repurchase
agreement during the fourth quarter of 1999. The funds received in the
repurchase transaction were used toward the purchase of a $10.1 million, 20
year, FHLMC mortgage-backed security. The borrowings under the repurchase
agreement mature as follows: $3.1 million in one year, $3.0 million in two
years and $2.9 million in three years. The cost of the one year borrowing is
6.04%, the two year borrowing is at 6.25% and the three year borrowing is at
6.45%. At each maturity date management will evaluate whether to replace the
borrowings or pay them off using Company funds.
OTHER LIABILITIES
Accrued interest payable increased $156 thousand, or 269.0%, to $214
thousand as a result of an increased volume and rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities including the repurchase agreement. Payables due to shareholders of
the Predecessor Company were extinguished during 1999.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Class B common stock increased $3.2 million. The change is the result of
two stock dividends, totaling $2.8 million, and the conversion of 45 thousand
shares of Class A common stock to Class B common stock totaling $376 thousand.
In January 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend paid to the
Class A shareholders in Class B common stock. In December 1999 the Board of
Directors declared a stock dividend payable to all Class A and Class B
shareholders of record on December 31, 1999 payable in Class B common stock.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Interest rate risk management involves managing the extent to which
interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities are matched.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and
earnings volatility due to the repricing characteristics of assets and
liabilities. The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the
level of market interest rates. In order to maintain consistent earnings
performance, the Company seeks to manage, to the extent possible, the repricing
characteristics of its assets and liabilities.
The ratio between assets and liabilities repricing in specific time
intervals is referred to as an interest rate sensitivity gap. Interest rate
sensitivity gaps can be managed to take advantage of the slope of the yield
curve as well as forecasted changes in the level of interest rate changes.
One major objective of the Company when managing the rate sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities is to stabilize net interest income. The management
of and authority to assume interest rate risk is the responsibility of the
Company's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which is comprised of four Board
members. The process to review interest rate risk management is a regular part
of management of the Company. In addition, there is an annual process to review
the interest rate risk policy with the Board of Directors which includes limits
on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates.
To manage the interest sensitivity position, an asset/liability model
called "gap analysis" is used to monitor the difference in the volume of the
Company's interest sensitive assets and liabilities that mature or reprice
within given periods. A positive gap (asset sensitive) indicates that more
assets reprice during a given period compared to liabilities, while a negative
gap (liability sensitive) has the opposite effect. The Company employs
computerized interest income simulation modeling to assist in quantifying
interest rate risk exposure. This process measures and quantifies the impact on
net interest income through varying interest rate changes and balance sheet
compositions. The use of this model assists the ALCO to gauge the effects of
the interest rate changes on interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order
to determine what impact these rates changes will have upon the net interest
spread.

At December 31, 1999, the Company maintained a one year negative
cumulative gap of $16.6 million or -11.83% of total assets.

(1) Investment securities include Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home
Loan Bank stock, totalling $772 thousand, which have been included in the
over three year column.
LIQUIDITY
The Company's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans,
withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost
effective manner. The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits,
scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, sales and maturities
of investment securities and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan
payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.
Through the Company's investment portfolio the Company has generally
sought to obtain a safe yet slightly higher yield than would have been
available to the Company as a net seller of overnight Federal funds while still
maintaining liquidity. Through its investment portfolio, the Company also
attempts to manage its maturity gap by seeking maturities of investments which
coincide as closely as possible with maturities of deposits.
As an additional source of liquidity the Company has a $4 million
unsecured Federal funds overnight borrowing line of credit and a secured line
of credit with a corresponding bank. At December 31, 1999 the Company had a
balance of $571 thousand drawn on the unsecured line of credit. The Company's
unencumbered investment securities are the collateral for the secured line of
credit and serve to determine the total amount available under the line. During
1999 the Company drew the unsecured Federal funds line to $4 million several
times and drew on the secured line up to $2.5 million when loan growth outpaced
deposit growth.
The Company entered into a $9.0 million repurchase agreement during
October 1999. The funds received in the repurchase transaction were used toward
the purchase of a $10.1 million, 20 year, FHLMC mortgage-backed security which
is the security sold under the agreement. The borrowings under the repurchase
agreement mature as follows: $3.1 million in one year, $3.0 million in two
years and $2.9 million in three years. The cost of the one year borrowing is
6.04%, the two year borrowing is at 6.25% and the three year borrowing is at
6.45%. At each maturity date management will evaluate whether to replace the
borrowings or pay them off using Company funds.
24
<PAGE>
Net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $1,307
thousand in 1999 compared to a use of cash of $353 thousand in 1998 resulting
primarily from the increase in net income during the year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $72.6 million in 1999 compared
to $17.9 million in 1998. The Company used $17.9 million for net investment
securities and Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock in 1999,
while in 1998 it received cash of $9.3 million from its securities portfolio.
Additionally, the Company used $53.6 million and $22.1 million for net loans
and loan sales in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Also during 1998, the Company
used $4.4 million for the purchase of the Predecessor Company.
Net cash provided by the Company's financing activities was $59.1 million
in 1999, and $27.8 million in 1998. The increase in 1999 was primarily due to a
net increase in deposits and $9 million received in a repurchase agreement. Net
deposits provided an increase $49.6 million in 1999 compared to $21.2 million
in 1998. Additionally, in 1998 the Company used $4.6 million to repay
borrowings and received $11.3 million in net proceeds on the sale of common
stock.
As a state chartered commercial bank, the Bank is required to maintain a
daily liquidity position equal to at least 15 percent of its total transaction
accounts and eight percent of its total nontransaction accounts, less those
deposits of public funds for which security has been pledged. As of December
31, 1999, the Bank had a liquidity ratio of 20 percent which was adequate to
meet the statutory requirement. The primary source of the Bank's liquidity is
cash and cash equivalents including federal funds sold - overnight loans to
major commercial banks. At December 31, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$5.1 million. Funds not required to meet loan and deposit demand were invested
primarily in mortgage-backed, U.S. Government and Agency securities. The Bank
considers these investments to be secondary sources of liquidity. The Bank's
investment securities classified as available for sale had a carrying value of
$8.9 million at December 31, 1999. The unrealized loss on the securities held
available for sale at December 31, 1999 was $283 thousand.
CAPITAL
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its
capital base. The Company's federal regulators have classified and defined
capital into the following components: (1) Tier I capital, which includes
tangible shareholders' equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock,
and (2) Tier II capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for possible
loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does
not qualify for Tier I capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by
risk-based capital adequacy guidelines which require a financial institution to
maintain certain capital as a percent of its assets and certain off-balance
sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets.)
A financial institution is required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier I capital
as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier I and Tier II
capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the federal regulators require
that a financial institution which meets the regulators' highest performance
and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital as a
percentage of tangible assets) of 3%. For those institutions with higher levels
of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the
minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased by at least 100 to 200
basis points. Minimum leverage ratios for each bank are evaluated through the
ongoing regulatory examination process.
The Company's federal regulators impose capital standards on bank holding
companies which are substantially similar to those imposed upon the Bank.
However, provided the Company's total assets are less than $150 million, these
standards are applied on a bank only basis.

ratios at December 31, 1999, as well as the required minimum regulatory capital

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented
elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change
in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The
impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's
operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a
greater impact on the Company'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 prices of goods and services.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("Statement 133"). The effective date of Statement 133 was delayed by SFAS 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133." Statement 133 is now effective for all
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with an early
adoption permitted. Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. It
is currently anticipated that the Company will adopt Statement 133 on January
1, 2001, and that Statement 133 will not have a significant financial statement
impact upon adoption.

ITEM 8.--CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The Registrant dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as its independent auditors
effective April 9, 1999. The decision to dismiss Grant Thornton LLP as auditors
was recommended by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee. For
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and up to April 9, 1999,
there have been no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP, on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant
Thornton LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with their reports. The independent
26
<PAGE>
auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion.
The Registrant retained KPMG LLP as its independent auditors on April 23,
1999 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The decision to hire KPMG LLP
as auditors was recommended by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit
Committee.

ADMIRALTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. successor company to White Eagle Financial Group,
Inc., is a one bank holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Admiralty Bancorp,
Inc. ("Admiralty"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Admiralty Bank ("the
Bank"), collectively referred to as "the Company". The Bank is a
state-chartered independent community bank with its main office in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, and branches in Boca Raton, Juno Beach, Jupiter and
Melbourne, Florida.
The Bank operates as a commercial bank offering a wide variety of
commercial loans and, to a lesser degree, consumer credits. The Bank originates
small business loans which are partially guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration. The Bank sells the guaranteed portion to unrelated third
parties. The Bank continues to service these loans. Its primary future
strategic aim is to establish a reputation and market presence as the "small
and middle market business bank" in its principal market. The Bank funds its
loans primarily by offering time, savings and money market, and demand deposit
accounts to both commercial enterprises and individuals. Additionally, the Bank
originates residential mortgage loans. Principal markets include southern and
central Florida.
The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its
primary markets. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers and brokers, credit unions and money market
funds actively compete for deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as
consumer finance, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and
investment banking firms, may be considered competitors of the Bank with
respect to one or more of the services it renders.
The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies
and, accordingly, it is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities.
As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities,
the Bank's business is particularly susceptible to being affected by state and
federal legislation and regulations.
On January 22, 1998, Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. acquired White Eagle
Financial Group, Inc. ("WEFG" or "the Predecessor Company"). In connection with
the transaction, Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. (N.J. corporation) was merged into
WEFG (the Change In Control) and WEFG then changed its name to Admiralty
Bancorp, Inc. In connection with the transaction, a new board of directors was
elected and new management was subsequently hired. The transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the
results of operations for the period ended December 31, 1998, include only the
results of operations of the Company from the date of acquisition, January 22,
1998. Prior to the Change In Control and the Company's Public Offering, the
Predecessor Company was a privately held institution. Accordingly, the
Predecessor Company's operations for the first 21 days of 1998 are presented
separately.

ADMIRALTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Admiralty
Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Admiralty Bank.
The accounting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and predominant practices within the banking industry.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements 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. These estimates and assumptions also affect
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relates to the allowance for loan losses. The
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes, among
other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates, by category, applied to
current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than
historical trends which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which
also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from estimated loss
percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential
loss classifications.
As of December 31, 1999, substantially all of the Company's real estate
loans are secured by real estate in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the
Company's real estate loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market
conditions in the above counties. Management believes that the allowances for
losses on loans is adequate. While management uses available information to
recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowances may be necessary
based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in the above counties. In
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review the Company's allowances for losses on loans. Such
agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based
on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Bank accounts for its investment securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This standard requires
investments in securities to be classified in one of three categories: held to
maturity, trading, or available for sale. Investments in debt securities, for
which management has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity, are
carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts computed by the interest method. Investments in debt securities,
which management believes may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in
interest rates, prepayment risk and equity, liquidity requirements or other
factors, are classified as available for sale.

ADMIRALTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Net unrealized gains and losses for such securities, net of tax effect, are
recognized as a component of comprehensive income included in shareholders'
equity and excluded from the determination of net income. Declines in the fair
value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below
their cost that are other than temporary results in write-downs of the
individual securities to their fair value with the related write-downs included
in earnings as realized losses. The Bank does not engage in security trading.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Gains or losses
on disposition of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the
adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific
identification method.
The Company does not purchase, sell or utilize off-balance sheet
derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal and are net of deferred fees or costs on originated loans and
an allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loan principal
considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance
for loan losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to absorb inherent losses which probably exist as of the evaluation
date due to the inherent risks in the loan portfolio even though they might not
have been identified by the objective loan review process. The evaluation takes
into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans, and current and
future economic conditions which may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. The
evaluation details historical losses by loan category, the resulting loss rates
for which are projected at current loan total amounts. Loss estimates for
specified problem loans are also detailed.
The Company follows a consistent procedural discipline and accounts for
loan loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies", and SFAS No. 114 "Accounting for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures." The following is a description of
how each portion of the allowance for loan losses is determined.
The Company segregates the loan portfolio for loan loss purposes into
segments based upon the underlying collateral. The Company provides for a
general allowance for losses inherent in the portfolio by the collateral
categories. General loss percentages are calculated based upon historical
analyses as well as estimates of the inherent losses which probably exist as of
the evaluation date even though they might not have been identified by the more
objective processes used. This is due to the risk of error and/or inherent
imprecision in the process. This portion of the allowance is particularly
subjective and requires judgments based on qualitative factors which do not
lend themselves to exact mathematical calculations such as: trends in
delinquencies and nonaccruals; migration trends in the portfolio; trends in
volume, terms, and portfolio mix; new credit products and/or changes in the
geographic distribution of those products; changes in lending policies and
procedures; loan review reports on the efficacy of the risk identification
process; changes in the outlook for local, regional and national economic
conditions; concentrations of credit; and peer group comparisons.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Specific allowances are provided in the event that the specific analysis
on each classified loan indicates that it is probable that the Bank will be
unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the Bank
measures impairment based on either (a) the present value of the expected
future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's original
effective rate, (b) the observable market price of the impaired loans, or (c)
the fair value of the collateral of a collateral-dependent loan. The Bank
selects the measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis, except for
collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable must be measured
at the fair value of the collateral. In a troubled debt restructuring involving
a restructured loan, the Bank measures impairment by discounting the total
expected future cash flows at the loan's original effective rate of interest.
The provision for loan loss is debited or credited in order to state the
allowance for loan losses to the required level as determined above.
Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual
of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
When a loan is placed on such non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued
interest receivable, applicable to periods prior to the current year, is
charged off to the allowance for loan losses. Interest which had accrued in the
current year is reversed out of current period income. Until the loan becomes
current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding
principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition
of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments as
interest at which time the loan is returned to accruing status. Loans 90 days
or more past due and still accruing interest must have both principal and
accruing interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of
the improvements or the terms of the related leases.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and
improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation relating to
premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the
accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are held for
sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure,
establishing a new cost basis.
Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by
management and the assets are carried at the lower carrying amount of fair
value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in
the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
MORTGAGE SERVICING
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are
acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Capitalized
servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into
non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated
future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing
assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as
compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by
predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is
determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when
available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.
Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual
stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for
the stratum.
GOODWILL
Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net assets acquired from WEFG, is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 25 years. The Company, at
each balance sheet date, evaluates the recovery of the carrying amount of
goodwill by determining if any impairment indicators are present. These
indicators include duplication of resources resulting from acquisitions, income
derived from businesses acquired and other factors. If this review indicates
that goodwill will not be recoverable, as principally determined based on the
estimated undiscounted cash flows of the acquired entity over the remaining
amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill is reduced by
the estimated shortfall of discounted future cash flows.
TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control
over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed
to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2)
the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from
taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets,
and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred
assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Bank accounts for long-lived and intangible assets in accordance with
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which provides guidance on when to
recognize and how to measure impairment losses of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles and how to value long-lived assets to be disposed of.
The Statement requires that long-lived and certain identifiable intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to the future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the

carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value
less costs to sell.
RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits
by keeping cash on hand or balances with the Federal Reserve Bank in a
non-interest bearing account. The reserve balances required to be maintained in
cash on hand and/or in balances at the Federal Reserve Bank were $918 thousand
and $426 thousand at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, cash items in the
process of collection, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold with an
original maturity of three months or less.
MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation," encourages all
entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock
compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period,
which is usually the vesting period. 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 Accounting Principles Board Opinion
(APB Opinion) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", whereby
compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Company's
management stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and
under APB Opinion No. 25 no compensation is recognized for them. The Company
has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in APB Opinion No. 25
and, as a result, has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings
per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied.
RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has a savings plan pursuant to the provisions of section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for all eligible employees. An eligible
employee may elect to contribute to the 401(k) plan in the form of deferrals of
between 1% and 15% of the total base compensation that would otherwise be
payable to the employee. Employee contributions are fully vested and
non-forfeitable at all times. The 401(k) plan permits contributions by the
Company. In 1999 the Company matched 50% of the employees' contributions up to
6% of the participant's base salary. The Company did not make a matching
contribution in 1998. The Company accrues costs as incurred. Expenses accrued
toward contributions to this plan amounted to $34,000 and $-0- for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed
by dividing the net income (loss) to
F-13
<PAGE>
ADMIRALTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
common shareholders for the year by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders for
the year by the weighted-average number of common stock and potential common
stock outstanding during the year, to the extent that such potential common
stock is dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the shares issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options. Since the potential common stock for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the period from January 22, 1998
through December 31, 1998 is antidilutive, basic earnings (loss) per share is
equal to the diluted net earnings (loss) per share for each year.
Prior to January 1, 1999, the capital structure of the Company provided
for the dividend rights of Class A common shareholders to be different than the
dividend rights of the Class B common shareholders. Accordingly, the "two
class" method of computing earnings per share was used. Under the "two class"
method, net earnings is allocated based on a formula that determines earnings
per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted a new dividend policy whereby
the Class A and Class B common shareholders will be treated equally in the
amount and terms of dividends declared and the form of payment of dividends.
Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1999 are not presented under
the "two class" method.
On January 22, 1999 the Board of Directors declared a 4.4% dividend paid
to Class A shareholders in shares of the Company's Class B common stock. Due
the different dividend rights of the two classes of stock and the preferential
nature of this dividend, the issuance of the Class B share dividend has been
reflected in earnings (loss) per share from the date of issuance.
On December 17, 1999 the Board of Directors declared and annual dividend
of $1.00 per Class A share, payable in Class B common stock to all shareholders
of record of Class A common stock as of December 31, 1999. In order to treat
the holders of Class B common stock similarly as the holders of the Class A
common stock, the Board of Directors declared a 12.91% stock dividend on the
Company's Class B common stock to be paid to the holders of the Class B common
stock as of December 31, 1999. For purposes of the earnings (loss) per share,
the issuance of this Class B stock dividend has been effected as of January 1,
1998. The basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding and
net earnings (loss) per share information for 1998 has been restated to reflect
the effects of this stock dividend.

ADVERTISING COSTS
The Bank expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were
$34 thousand and $26 thousand in 1999 and 1998 respectively.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial statements
to conform to the 1999 presentation.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("Statement 133"). The effective date of Statement 133 was delayed by SFAS 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133." Statement 133 is now effective for all
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with an early
adoption permitted. Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. It
is currently anticipated that the Company will adopt Statement 133 on January
1, 2001, and that Statement 133 will not have a significant financial statement
impact upon adoption.

The Company has a $ 4 million unsecured Federal funds overnight borrowing
line of credit and a secured line of credit with a correspondent bank. At
December 31, 1999 the Company had a balance of $571 thousand drawn on the
unsecured line of credit. The Company's unencumbered investment securities are
the collateral for the secured line of credit and serve to determine the total
amount available under the line.
The Company entered into a $9.0 million repurchase agreement during the
October 1999. The funds received in the repurchase transaction were used toward
the purchase of a $10.1 million, 20 year, FHLMC mortgage-backed security which
is the security sold under the agreement. The borrowings under the repurchase
agreement mature $3.1 million in one year, $3.0 million in two years and $2.9
million in three years. The cost of the one year borrowing is 6.04%, the two
year borrowing is at 6.25% and the three year borrowing is at 6.45%. At each
maturity date management will evaluate whether to replace the borrowings or pay
them off using Company funds.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 was $206 thousand and $116 thousand, respectively. The net change in
the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
was an increase of $90 thousand and $116 thousand, respectively. In assessing
the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those
temporary differences become deductible.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had unused net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $1.1 million for Federal and Florida income tax
purposes expiring in various amounts from the 2006 through 2008. The loss
carryforward reflects the maximum benefit that could be obtained from the net
operating losses due to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

NOTE 9--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The total authorized capital stock of Admiralty consists of 5,000,000
shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Admiralty established Class A Common Stock which possess all such rights
and privileges as are afforded to capital stock by law and shall also possess
the following rights, privileges and limitations:
DIVIDENDS
The holder of each share of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive out of any funds legally available therefore, when and as declared
by the Board of Directors, preferential dividends thereon at the annual
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum based upon a $10.00 per share stated
value, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31, or on such other
date or dates as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Directors
have elected to pay the Class A dividend on an annual basis. Those
dividends shall be non-cumulative and may be paid either in cash or in
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, at the discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors. No dividends shall be declared, or paid or
set apart for payment on the Company's Class B Common Stock (described
below) for any period unless the most recently required dividend is paid on
the Class A Common Stock. Holders of shares of the Class A Common Stock
shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property
or stock, in excess of the non-cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on
the Class A Common Stock, unless specially declared by the Board of
Directors.
VOTING RIGHTS
Holders of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to vote at any meeting
of stockholders or otherwise and shall be entitled to notice of any such
meeting. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per
share, and unless otherwise required by law, the Class A Common Stock will
vote with the Class B Common Stock together as a single class.
CONVERSION RIGHTS
VOLUNTARY CONVERSION. Each share of Class A Common Stock is convertible,
at the option of the holder, into one share of Class B Common Stock, at any
time or from time to time.
INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION. In addition to the foregoing voluntary conversion
rights, the Company has the right to require a holder of Class A Common
Stock to convert the Class A Common Stock into Class B Common Stock, at the
rate of one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A Common
Stock held, in the event that the Class B Common Stock trades at $15.00 or
higher and does not trade below $15.00 for the next 20 consecutive trading
days. Upon the end of such 20 consecutive trading day period, Company may
issue a notice of mandatory conversion requiring the conversion of shares
of the Class A Common Stock to Class B Common Stock within 20 days.
The conversion rate set forth above is subject to adjustment in the event
of payment of certain stock dividends, stock split-ups or combinations or
other similar recapitalizations, to ensure that a

holder of the Class A Common Stock does not have his interests in the
Company diluted through such transaction. Due to a 12.91% stock dividend
paid in January 2000 to all shareholders of record on December 31, 1999,
each share of class A common stock is now convertible into 1.1291 shares of
Class B common stock.
Admiralty also established Class B Common Stock which possess all such
rights and privileges as are afforded to capital stock by law. Voting rights,
with regard to any items upon which the Class B Common Stock shall be required
or entitled to vote, the Class B Common Stock shall vote together with the
Class A Common Stock as a single class, except as otherwise required by law.
On March 22, 1999, the Board of Directors resolved to treat both classes
of the Company's stock equally, in terms of the amount of dividends declared
and the form of payment of dividends. This resolution and new dividend policy
was effective January 1, 1999. However, the resolution specifically excepts the
January, 1999 dividend paid to Class A shareholders which represented the
dividend on Class A shares for the second half of 1998.
The Company also has outstanding 1,089,594 warrants to purchase Class B
common stock at $9.74 per share for a period commencing January 22, 1998 and
ending January 21, 2002. The expiration date of the warrants is subject to
acceleration as described in Note 16 - Plan of Merger and Recapitalization.

OPERATING LEASES
The Bank utilizes certain office space and equipment under operating
leases expiring through 2010. Total rent expense under such operating leases,
included in occupancy expense, was approximately $616 thousand and $352

NOTE 11--MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN
In May 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 1998
Management Stock Option Plan (the Management Plan), which provides for options
to purchase up to 372,613 shares (adjusted for the recent stock dividend) of
Class B stock to be issued to members of the Board of Directors and management
of the Company, the Bank and any other subsidiaries which the Company acquires
or incorporates in the future.
The Management Plan provides for the granting of both incentive options
and nonstatutory options. Incentive stock options may be granted at an exercise
price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class B stock on
the date of the grant. The option price for nonstatutory options may not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class B stock on the date of
grant. The Board of Directors has discretion to set the actual exercise price
of any option within the foregoing parameters. The options, which have a term
of 10 years when issued, vest either immediately or over a period specified by
the Board.
The Management Plan is a fixed stock option plan accounted for under APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Had compensation cost for the plans
been determined based on the fair value of options at the grant dates
consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company's net loss and earnings per share for the Class B
Common Stock would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below
for the periods presented.

NOTE 12--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Bank has made in the past and, assuming continued satisfaction of
generally applicable credit standards, expects to continue to make loans to
directors, executive officers and their associates, (i.e., corporations or
organizations for which they serve as officers or directors or in which they
have beneficial ownership interests of ten percent or more). These loans have
all been made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business on substantially
the same items, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at
the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
In addition, Bank Directors and Officers keep depository balances with the
Bank. The aggregate dollar amount of these

loans was $5.5 million and $982 thousand at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1999, $5.5 million in funds were
disbursed and $791 thousand of principal repayments were received.
The Bank's branches in Boca Raton and Jupiter are leased from entities
owned by certain members of the Company's Board of Directors. The aggregate
rental payment due under these two leases will be approximately $246 thousand
per year. The Company believes that these leases represent fair market value,
and are comparable to terms which the Bank could have obtained from
unaffiliated parties.
NOTE 13--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF
CREDIT RISKS
The Bank 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.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of
those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular
classes of financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by
the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does
for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Bank does not always require collateral or other security to support
financial instruments with credit risk. The approximate contract amounts are as
follows:
DECEMBER 31,
---------------------
1999 1998
--------- ---------
(IN THOUSANDS)
Unfunded lines of credit ....................... $2,230 $1,216
Standby letters of credit ...................... 399 149
Unfunded construction loan commitments ......... 2,983 4,145
Unfunded commercial loan commitments ........... 8,964 9,966
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 many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory, property, plant, and
equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.

DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 13--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF
CREDIT RISKS--(CONTINUED)
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements.
The Bank has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees
during the past year. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments
in 1999 or 1998.
NOTE 14--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and
liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Bank, as for most
financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are
considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. However, many such
instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing
buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company's
general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and
to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. Therefore, the
Company had to use significant estimations and present value calculations to
prepare this disclosure.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values
may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that
there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide
range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active
markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in
estimating financial instrument fair values.
Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the
best available, as generally provided by estimation methodologies deemed
suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation
methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as
follows:
Fair value of loans and deposits with floating interest rates is generally
presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts.
Fair value of financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market
has been estimated using quoted market prices.

The fair value of commitments to originate loans and other off-balance
sheet instruments is estimated using fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan
commitments, the fair value also considers the difference between current
levels of interest and the committed rates. As of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 the fair value of these commitments, which are primarily
comprised of floating rate loan commitments priced to market at funding, with
notional amounts of $14.6 million and $15.5 million respectively, was
immaterial.
The fair value of other financial instruments, including interest
receivable and interest payable, approximates the carrying value due to the
short term nature of these instruments.
NOTE 15--REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank, as a state-chartered, Federal Reserve member bank, is subject to
regulatory dividend restrictions. Under such restrictions, the Bank may not,
without prior regulatory approval, declare cash dividends.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory and capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly additional
discretionary-actions by the 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

NOTE 15--REGULATORY MATTERS--(CONTINUED)
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
following table) 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, 1999, that
the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Department
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 as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification
that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE 16--PLAN OF MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION
During September 1997, Admiralty entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Agreement) with WEFG. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all
then existing shareholders of WEFG had their interests in WEFG cancelled in
exchange for a cash payment equal to 1.85 times the shareholders' equity of
WEFG. The consideration paid to WEFG shareholders upon consummation of the
acquisition was $7.5 million. Additionally, Admiralty paid a finder fee of $500
thousand, payable in 50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, to the former
Chairman of the Board of WEFG in conjunction with the sale of WEFG to
Admiralty. This fee was considered additional consideration in the purchase
WEFG. In connection with this transaction, Admiralty was merged into WEFG and
WEFG then changed its name to Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. This transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the
results of operation for the year ended December 31, 1998, include only the
results of operations of WEFG from the date of acquisition, January 22, 1998.
The acquisition resulted in the Company recording $3.9 million of goodwill
which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years. Amortization
expense for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $154 thousand and
$147 thousand respectively.
The following represents the unaudited pro forma financial information of
Admiralty as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1998. The pro forma
information should be read in conjunction with the related historical
information and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have
been attained had the transaction actually taken place.

Units, consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock, no par value (the Class
A Stock) and one Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the Class B Stock).
Holders of the warrants are entitled to purchase 903,286 shares of the Class B
Stock. Each Class A Unit had a purchase price of $10.00. In addition, to
compensate directors of the Company for their time and efforts in organizing
the Company and consummating the Change in Control, the Board of Directors of
the Company awarded warrants to purchase 169,371 shares of Class B common stock
in the aggregate to members of the Board of Directors of the Company and, as
part of the consideration in the Change in Control, the Company issued warrants
to purchase 16,937 shares of common stock to the former majority shareholder of
WEFG. Each of these warrants entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
Class B Stock, at a purchase price of $9.74 per share,

DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 16--PLAN OF MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION--(CONTINUED)
for a period commencing January 22, 1999, and ending January 21, 2002. The
expiration date of the warrants is subject to acceleration as provided below
and any warrant not exercised on or before the expiration date shall expire and
shall not thereafter be exercisable. The Class A Common Stock can also be
converted into shares of Class B Common Stock at the option of the holders of
the Class A Common Stock. Additionally, in connection with the formation of
Admiralty, the organizers received 88,881 shares of Class A Common Stock and
133,320 shares of Class B Common Stock for $150,000 of consideration.
The Company has the right to accelerate the expiration date of the
warrants in the event that (i) the Class B stock is traded on a nationally
recognized securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National or SmallCap Market,
and (ii) the Class B stock has traded at $13.28 or above and has not traded
below $13.28 per share for 20 consecutive trading days. In the event these
conditions are met, the Company may, but is not obligated, to issue a notice of
acceleration to each warrant holder. Upon issuance of the notice, the warrants
will expire 30 days after the date of notice. To the extent the Company issues
the notice of acceleration, it will be required to redeem each outstanding but
unexercised warrant for a price of $0.09 per warrant upon the expiration of the
warrants.
The Company completed a public offering in 1998 in which it sold 1.3
million shares of Class B Common Stock at $10.50 per share. After giving effect
to offering expenses of $1.4 million, the sale resulted in net cash proceeds of
$11.8 million.
