NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
  for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-
  Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
  all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
  accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
  opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
  accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
  included.  Operating results for the interim periods are not
  necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
  year or any other interim period.  Certain reclassifications have been
  made to amounts previously presented to conform with current period
  presentations.  Such reclassifications had no effect on net income.
  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
  and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's annual
  report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.


2.BUSINESS COMBINATION
  
  On November 22, 1994, the Company and FF Bancorp, Inc. ("FF Bancorp"),
  New Smyrna Beach, Florida, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
  ("Agreement") as amended January 23, 1995, whereby the Company will
  acquire all of the outstanding stock of the approximately $600 million
  asset FF Bancorp.  FF Bancorp is the holding company of First Federal
  Savings Bank of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, a $318 million asset thrift
  institution, First Federal Savings Bank of Citrus County, Florida, a
  $214 million asset thrift headquartered in Inverness, Florida, and Key
  Bank of Florida, a $66 million asset commercial bank located in Tampa,
  Florida.  Under the Agreement, each share of FF Bancorp stock will be
  exchanged for .825 shares of the Company stock in a tax-free exchange
  to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  The acquisition is
  subject to the approval of FF Bancorp shareholders and various
  regulatory authorities.  The Company anticipates completing the
  transaction in the second quarter of 1995.
  
  
3.   LOANS
  
  In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
  FAS 114, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."
  Statement No. 114 requires impaired loans to be measured based on the
  present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's
  effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price, or
  the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent,
  beginning in 1995.  In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement No. 118,
  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition
  and Disclosures," which amends the requirements of Statement No. 114
  regarding interest income recognition and related disclosure
  requirements.
  
  On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement No. 114 and Statement
  No. 118.  At March 31, 1995, pursuant to the definition within
  Statement No. 114, the Company had approximately $16,145,000 of
  impaired loans, all of which are classified as nonaccrual.  A valuation
  reserve in the amount of $435,000 has been established for
  approximately $6,067,000 of these impaired loans.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

In the first quarter of 1995, the Company reported net income of
$6,079,000, a decrease of $375,000, or 5.8%, from the $6,454,000 reported
in the first quarter of 1994.  Earnings per share in the first quarter of
1995 were $.37, compared with $.40 reported for the first quarter of
1994, a decrease of 7.5%.  Weighted average shares outstanding for the
first quarter of 1995 increased to 16,555,816, compared with 16,190,429
reported in the first quarter of 1994.   A majority of the increase in
average shares outstanding is the result of shares issued in the
acquisition of Metro Bancorp, Inc. ("Metro") on February 28, 1994.

Net income in the first quarter produced a return on average assets of
1.05%, compared to the 1.21% reported for first quarter 1994.  Return on
average equity was 10.77% for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
compared to 12.04% for the same period in 1994.

On April 11, 1995, Richard A. McNeece, chairman and chief executive
officer of the Company announced that he would leave the Company on June
30, 1995.  Earnings for first quarter 1995 reflect the full recognition
of the compensation package and claims release agreement to be provided
to Mr. McNeece relative to his resignation.  In addition, increases in
income and expenses, including personnel related expenses in the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to 1994, is due to the 1994 acquisition of
Metro acquired on February 28, 1994, which was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, thereby excluding the first two months of
Metro's operations in 1994.

The remainder of this discussion provides a more detailed explanation of
factors affecting the change in results of operations and the change in
financial position of the Company for the reported periods.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the most significant component of earnings.  For
analytical purposes, interest earned on tax exempt assets, such as
industrial development revenue bonds and state and municipal obligations,
is adjusted to a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis.  This adjustment
is based upon the federal corporate income tax rate, and any interest
expense which is disallowed as a deduction in connection with carrying
tax exempt assets.   Table 2 shows the sources of interest income and
expense between years and the variances resulting from fluctuations in
interest rate (rate) and changes in the amount (volume) of earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income on an FTE basis increased to $26,940,000 in the first
three months of 1995, compared with $23,743,000 in the first three months
of 1994, with both rate and volume increases impacting net interest
income equally.  A majority of the increase impacting interest on loans
was the result of increases in interest rates from an average of 8.64%
during the first quarter of 1994, compared to 9.57% during the first
quarter of 1995.  The most significant increase in interest expense
resulted from an average increase in time deposits rates of 87 basis
points, from 4.37% during the first quarter of 1994 to 5.24% in the first
quarter of 1995.

Average loans, which increased $95,344,000, and average investment
securities, which increased $120,164,000, comprised the majority of the
increase in average earning assets from the same period ended 1994, with
a majority of this increase resulting from the acquisition of Metro
during the first quarter of 1994.

The Company's net interest margin for the three months ended March 31,
1995, was 5.05% , up from 4.81% reported for the same period in 1994.

Increases in the prime rate during 1994 and early 1995, in response to
Federal Reserve's increase in interest rates, has contributed to overall
rate spread increases.  However, management believes the industry will
begin to see increased margin pressure during the next few quarters, as
rates on deposit accounts and other funding sources catch up to previous
increases and loan rates stabilize or even decrease slightly.  However,
management believes current margin levels will be sustainable during the
next few quarters, due to continued improvements in asset quality and 
current loan pricing stratagies.

Changes in interest due to volume and rate were defined as follows:
Volume variance-change in average balance multiplied by prior year rate;
Rate variance-change
in rate multiplied by prior year average balance.  The change in interest
due to both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to volume
variance and rate variance based on the relationship of the absolute
dollar change in each.


NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income decreased to $6,253,000 for the first quarter of 1995,
from $6,896,000 for the first quarter of 1994 .  Revenues from service
charges on deposit accounts helped offset the lower income from mortgage
related activity, with an increase of $435,000 between the first quarter
of 1995.  Mortgage loan and other related fees decreased $204,000, from
$1,405,000 recognized in the first quarter of 1994, to $1,201,000 earned
for the first quarter of 1995.  The decrease in mortgage loan and other
related fees is primarily due to the decrease in the average servicing
portfolio levels and lower refinancing activity.  Additional income was
recognized in the first quarter of 1994, due to the sale of refinancing
mortgages, which existed on the Company's books at December 31, 1993.  No
sales occured during the first quarter of 1995, resulting in a significant
decrease in other noninterest income.

<PAGE>

The Company believes that while refinancing activity has declined,
mortgage loan originations may begin to increase, as mortgage loan rates
begin to stabilize or even decrease slightly.  Refinancing by customers
during previous periods decreased the Company's loan servicing portfolio,
as loans held in the portfolio were being paid off.  The Company
anticipates that additional servicing income may be obtained in later
periods through retail efforts by affiliate banks and through possible
acquisitions of servicing portfolios purchased from other financial
institutions and mortgage companies.  The Company continues to analyze
opportunities available through the expansion of trust, credit card, and
annuity products, as a source for generating additional noninterest
income.  Table 3 shows the key noninterest income categories and changes
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994:

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $22,802,000 in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to $20,371,000 in the first quarter of 1994, an increase of
$2,431,000, or 11.93%.  Personnel related expenses, which makes up the
largest category of noninterest expense, increased $1,732,000 between the
first quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1994.  As described
elsewhere, part of the increase is the result of the first quarter 1994
acquisition of Metro, which is included for all three months of 1995, but 
for only one month in 1994 and the compensation package and claims release
agreement provided to the chairman and chief executive officer relative
to the announcement of his resignation.  The Company's efficiency ratio
(noninterest expense as a percentage of total FTE net interest income and
non interest income, excluding securities gains or losses) increased to
68.71% for the first quarter of 1995, compared to the 66.84% for the
first quarter of 1994.  Table 4 shows the key noninterest expense
categories and changes for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $2,229,000 for the first quarter of 1995, an
increase of 15.73% over the same period of 1994.  The effective tax rate
for the first three months of 1995 increased slightly to 26.83%, from the
22.98% reported in 1994, due primarily to deferred tax benefits recorded
in the first quarter of 1994, which were not available in the first
quarter of 1995.


ASSET QUALITY

The most significant risk of loss in a financial institution is from its
loan portfolio.  The Company manages its loan portfolio to limit risk
through initial review of credit applications, approval of loans by
experienced and trained personnel, loan documentation and compliance
procedures.  The Company's loan portfolio is well diversified with no
excessive concentration in any one industry.

In accordance with regulatory standards, loans are placed in nonaccrual
status when they reach a prescribed delinquency stage, generally when
payments are 90 days past due or when other events occur which make the
collection of all principal and interest on the loan questionable.
Table 5 shows balances of nonperforming assets and other key asset
quality performance ratios.

The Company has had significant success in improving core asset quality
over the last five quarters.

While management continues to place emphasis on asset quality procedures
and training, the level of nonperforming loans and assets will also
continue to be largely dependent on the continuing economic recovery in
the markets the Company serves.  Management anticipates a continuation of
a slowly improving economy, and due to continued problem asset
remediation, continued improvement in nonperforming loans, assets, and
applicable asset quality ratios.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company experienced a slight
reduction in loan loss reserves.  This reduction was due to $781,000 in
net charge offs, offset by a $479,000 provision expense.  Previous
provision recaptures and current levels of provision expense have been
warranted by the improvement in asset quality since 1993.  Activity in
the allowance for loan losses, including the contribution from the
acquisition of Metro during the first quarter of 1994, is shown in Table
6.

EARNING ASSETS AND FUNDING SOURCES

Management classifies earning assets into two categories, core and
incremental.  Core earning assets are defined as loans relative to the
business of banking, while incremental earning assets are all other
earning assets, including mortgage loans held-for-sale, investments, and
interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.   Table 9
provides the Company's allocation between these categories and the change
between these categories for the periods presented.

Total earning assets at March 31, 1995, were $2,213,303,000, up 1.7% from
the $2,176,412,000 at December 31, 1994, and up 6.2% from the
$2,083,609,000 at March 31, 1994.  Total core earning assets increased
1.1% to $1,425,764,000 over the $1,410,727,000 reported at December 31,
1994, while incremental earning assets increased 2.9% to $787,539,000,
from

<PAGE>

$765,685,000 reported for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, and
increased 7.6% over incremental earning assets at March 31, 1994.   The
decrease in mortgage loans held-for-sale between March 31, 1995 and March
31, 1994 can be attributed to lower loan production and decreasing
refinancing activity, which are the result of recent increases in
mortgage loan rates and slower housing starts.

Similar to earning assets, management classifies funding sources into
core and incremental categories.  Core funding sources are primarily
deposits held, including demand deposits, but excluding certificates of
deposit greater than $100,000.  Incremental funds are defined as all
other funding sources, including federal funds purchased and other
borrowings.

Total funds at March 31, 1995, were $2,136,672,000, up .4% from the
$2,128,631,000 at December 31, 1994, and up 5.8% from the $2,020,315,000
at March 31, 1994.  Total core funds decreased to $1,556,934,000 at March
31, 1995 from the $1,590,335,000 reported at December 31, 1994, but
increased 1.8% from the $1,529,741,000 reported at March 31, 1994, as
customers shifted out of lower earning deposit accounts into higher
yielding deposit accounts.   Total incremental funds increased 7.7%, or
$41,442,000, to $579,738,000 at March 31, 1995, from the $538,296,000
reported at December 31, 1994.  Incremental funds increased $89,164,000,
or 18.2% between March 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995, with the largest
increase the result of increases in short-term borrowings such as federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

While there may be continued changes within categories, management
expects no material changes in the overall mix of core or incremental
assets or liabilities during the second quarter of 1995.

SECURITIES

Federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits with financial
institutions, and short-term U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities
are held primarily for liquidity purposes while mortgage-backed
securities are held for income purposes.  The mortgage-backed security
distribution between adjustable and fixed rate securities is determined
by interest rate sensitivity requirements.  Management anticipates no
material change in the portfolio distribution in the second quarter based
on the current interest rate environment.  The amortized cost and fair 
value of securities at March 31, 1995, are summarized in Table 10.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

Interest rate sensitivity is defined as the exposure to variability in
net interest income resulting from changes in market-based interest
rates.  It is the Company's  philosophy to protect net interest income
against unexpected changes in interest rates though a controlled
assumption of interest rate risk for profit.  This potential variability
is closely monitored by the Company's traditional and beta adjusted gap
positions.  Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust in the same
degree, the traditional and beta adjusted gap analysis is only a general
indicator of rate sensitivity and net interest income volatility.
Consequently, the Company relies heavily on simulation analysis and
modeling of the Company's balance sheet in varying interest rate
environments to gauge net income volatility and develop appropriate
balance sheet strategies to assure attainment of the Company's objective:
The Company's interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 1995, is as follows:

Management is of the opinion that the current rate sensitivity profile
meets the Company's objectives.  No material changes in the interest rate
sensitivity profile are anticipated during 1995.

LIQUIDITY

The Company measures and manages the consolidated liquidity position
based on core funding and incremental funding objectives.  It is the
Company's target policy for core funding to equal at least 100% of core
earning assets, with the minimum acceptable level being 90%.  For the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, the average core funding to average core
assets ratio equaled 109.83% down from the 113.04% reported for the
quarter ended December 31, 1994, and from the 111.85% reported at March
31, 1994.  These percentages are well above the Company's minimum
tolerance.  Management anticipates that the core funding ratio will
remain above the 100% mark during the remainder of the year.

It is also the Company's target policy for incremental funds to total
deposits and funds not to exceed 40%.  For the quarter ended March 31,
1995, this ratio, based on quarterly averages, equaled 26.37%, up from
the 24.76% reported for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, and the
25.88% reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  These ratios are
all well below the Company's maximum tolerance.  Through its lead
affiliate bank, the Company maintains upstream overnight federal funds
lines of credit of $70,000,000.  These lines are occasionally used to
fund peak balances in mortgage loans held-for-sale.  In June 1992, the
parent Company secured a revolving line of credit totaling $3,000,000.
Management knows of no demands, commitments or events that will result
in, or that are likely to result in, the Company's liquidity increasing
or decreasing in any material way.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY

It is the Company's risk management policy to maintain a capital base
sufficient to support anticipated asset growth, merger activity and
management's estimation of long-term earnings risk.  Capital standards
assume that the Company's risk profiles in liquidity, rate sensitivity
and asset quality are in line with internal risk management objectives.
The Company's risk-based capital position is well in excess of minimum
regulatory standards.  Consequently, management anticipates no change in
asset allocation strategies to complement risk-based capital
requirements.  Additionally, the Company's leverage capital position is
well in excess of the new regulatory requirements.  The Company's
standards and capital levels at March 31, 1995, are provided in Table 13.
Management anticipates that risk-based and leverage ratios will remain
well above minimum regulatory standards.  The Company has met all of its
capital requirements through retained earnings while steadily increasing
regulatory and internally defined capital ratio objectives.

 Internal capital growth                  5.35       6.69       6.31  

Between the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the internal growth
rate decreased due to the decrease in all categories which make up the
internal growth rate calculation.

The cash dividend declared for the first quarter of 1995 was $.205
compared to $.20 declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 and
$.19 for the first quarter of 1994.  Management is of the opinion that,
given the Company's dividend policy, asset growth can be funded
internally while maintaining the integrity of the Company's capital
positions.

      THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 21ST day of April, 1995,  by
and  between FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP (hereinafter referred  to  as
"Company")  and  J.  REID  MOORE  (hereinafter  referred  to   as
"Employee"),  establishes  a severance  arrangement  between  the
parties in the event of a change of control of Company.

                           WITNESSETH:
                                
      WHEREAS,  Employee is serving as Group Vice  President  and
Controller of First National Bancorp; and

      WHEREAS, Company desires to induce Employee to continue  to
serve  as  Group  Vice  President  and  Controller  by  providing
Employee a measure of security; and

      WHEREAS, Company wants to continue to have the benefits  of
Employee's  full  time  and attention to  the  affairs  of  First
National  Bancorp  without diversion  due  to  concerns  about  a
possible change of control;

      NOW,  THEREFORE, in consideration of ONE DOLLAR  and  other
good  and  valuable  consideration, receipt of  which  is  hereby
acknowledged, Company and Employee agree as follows:

      1.    Payment  of  Severance  Amount.   If  the  Employee's
employment by the Company or any subsidiary or successor  of  the

amount  equal  to the Severance Amount, payable  within  15  days
after   the   Termination  Date.   In  addition,  Employee   will
immediately  be entitled to payment of the Severance  Amount  and
the  other benefits hereunder if, following a Change of  Control,
any  successor to Company refuses to acknowledge and  accept  the
obligations of Company hereunder either directly or by  operation
of  law.   If for any reason or no reason, the Company takes  the
position that some or all of the benefits provided hereunder  are
not  due  and owing to Employee or that it will not pay  Employee
any  or all of the benefits provided hereunder, Employee may,  at
his  discretion,  submit  the  resolution  of  such  dispute   to
arbitration as provided in Paragraph 5 below by notifying Company
in writing of his intent to do so.

      (a)   An  "Affiliate" shall mean any entity which  owns  or
controls,  is  owned by or is under common ownership  or  control
with, the Company.

      (b)   "Base  Annual  Salary" shall, as  determined  on  the
Termination Date, be equal to the greater of:
     i.    the  Employee's  annual salary excluding  bonuses  and
     special  incentive  payments on the  date  of  the  earliest
     Change of Control to occur during the Covered Period; or

     ii.   the  Employee's  annual salary excluding  bonuses  and
     special incentive payments on the Termination Date.
     
      (c)   "Change in Duties" shall mean any one or more of  the
following:

     i.    a  significant change in the nature or  scope  of  the
     Employee's  authorities or duties from those  applicable  to
     him  immediately  prior to the date on  which  a  Change  of
     Control occurs;
     
     ii.   a reduction in the Employee's Base Annual Salary  from
     that  provided to him immediately prior to the date on which
     a Change of Control occurs;
     
     iii.  any  diminution  in  the  Employee's  eligibility   to
     participate  or  level  of  participation  in  bonus,

     stock
     option,  incentive award and other compensation plans  which
     provide  opportunities  to receive  compensation,  from  the
     greater of:
     
          -the  opportunities provided by the Company  (including
          its   subsidiaries)  for  executives  with   comparable

          -the opportunities under any such plans under which  he
          was  participating immediately prior  to  the  date  on
          which a Change of Control occurs;
          
     iv.   a  diminution in employee benefits (including but  not
     limited  to  medical, dental, life insurance  and  long-term
     disability  plans) and perquisites applicable  to  Employee,
     from the greater of:
     
          -the employee benefits and perquisites provided by  the
          Company (including its subsidiaries) to executives with
          comparable duties; or
          
          -the employee benefits and perquisites to which he  was
          entitled  immediately prior to  the  date  on  which  a
          Change in Control occurs;
          
     v.    a  change in the location of the Employee's  principal
     place   of   employment  by  the  Company   (including   its
     subsidiaries) by more than 50 miles from the location  where

     vi.  any reduction in the Employee's title with Company;

     vii.        if   Employee,  because   of   any   change   in

     the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to his
     position immediately prior to the date on which a Change  of
     Control occurs.

      (d)  A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred
     if:

     i.    any  "person,"  including a "group" as  determined  in
     accordance with Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities  Exchange
     Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")(other than the Company, any
     subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan,  as

     Directors of the Company or any successor to the Company;
     
     iii.  the  Company  is merged or consolidated  with  another
     corporation  and as a result of the merger or  consolidation
     less  than 75% of the outstanding voting securities  of  the
     surviving  or resulting corporation shall then be  owned  in
     the  aggregate  by the former shareholders of  the  Company,
     other than (x) affiliates within the meaning of the Exchange
     Act or (y) any party to the merger or consolidation;
     
     iv.    a  tender  offer  or  exchange  offer  is  made   and
     consummated  for the ownership of securities of the  Company
     representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the
     Company's then outstanding voting securities; or

<PAGE>
     
      (e)  "Covered Period" for the Employee shall mean two years
     following  the occurrence of any Change of Control,  including
     a Change of Control following another/other Change(s) of Control.

      (f)   "Involuntary Termination" shall mean any  termination
     which:

     i.    does  not  result from a resignation by  the  Employee
     (other  than  a resignation pursuant to clause  ii  of  this
     subparagraph (f)); or
     
     ii.   results  from a resignation following  any  Change  in
     Duties;    provided,   however,   the   term    "Involuntary
     Termination" shall not include:
     
          x.   a Termination for Cause, or
          
          y.    any termination as a result of death, disability,
          or  normal retirement pursuant to a retirement plan  to
          which  the Employee was subject prior to any Change  in
          Control.
          
      (g)   "Severance  Amount" is equal to one  hundred  percent
      (100%) of the Employee's Base Annual Salary, plus an amount 
      equal to  the average of the annual amounts Employee was 
      awarded during the  preceding three years under the Company's 
      Senior  Management Incentive Compensation Plan.

      (h)   "Termination for Cause" shall mean only a termination
as  a  result  of  fraud, gross negligence, gross dereliction  of
duties, misappropriation of or intentional material damage to the
property or business of the Company (including its subsidiaries),
or  a  commission of a felony by the Employee.  In the event that
the  Company  takes the position that there is a Termination  for
Cause, the Company shall so notify the Employee in writing at the
Termination Date and Employee may, at his discretion, submit  the
determination  of such matter to arbitration by  notification  to
Company  that he elects his rights pursuant to Paragraph 5  below
within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notification.

      (i)   "Voting  Securities" shall mean any securities  which
ordinarily possess the power to vote in the election of directors
without the happening of any pre-condition or contingency.

      3.   Other Employee Benefits.  If the Employee's employment
by  the  Company  or any subsidiary or successor of  the  Company
shall be subject to an Involuntary Termination within the Covered
Period, then the following provisions shall also apply:

       (a)    Medical,  Dental,  Life  Insurance  and   Long-Term
Disability Benefits.  To the extent that the Employee or  any  of
the  Employee's dependents may be covered under the terms of  any
medical, dental, life insurance or long-term disability plans  of
the  Company (or any subsidiary) for active employees immediately
prior  to  the termination, the Company will provide the Employee
and  those  dependents with equivalent coverages for  twenty-four
(24)  months from the termination.  The coverages may be procured
directly by the Company (or any subsidiary, if appropriate) apart
from,  and outside of the terms of the plans themselves; provided
that  the Employee and the Employee's dependents comply with  all
of the conditions of the medical, dental, life insurance or long-
term disability plans.  In consideration for these benefits,  the
Employee  must  make contributions equal to those  required  from
time   to   time  from  active  employees  of  Company  (or   its
subsidiaries) for equivalent coverages under the medical, dental,
life insurance, or long-term disability plans.  Company shall not
be  entitled to amend or modify the benefits for Employee or  any
of  his  dependents  or  any of the terms or  conditions  thereof
without  the  prior written consent of Employee.   The  foregoing
health  benefits  are  not intended to be a  substitute  for  any
benefits  required  under COBRA. Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Employee's rights to the foregoing benefits shall terminate as to
any  benefit  for  which  he  becomes entitled  to  substantially
similar   benefits  on  substantially  similar   terms,   without
limitations or exclusions for pre-existing conditions or  similar
limitations, through a program of a subsequent employer.

<PAGE>

     (b)  Profit-Sharing Plans.  An amount equal to the amount of
the  Employee's  account balance which is not  vested  under  any
profit-sharing plans (including, without limitation,  plans  with
401k arrangements) maintained by Company immediately prior to the
termination  of  Employee shall be paid by  Company  to  Employee
within 15 days after the Termination Date.  Such amount shall  be
repaid  by  Employee to Company, without interest, in  the  event
that  the  profit-sharing plan(s) is/are terminated and  Employee
receives  distribution  of  his  fully  vested  account  from   a
terminated plan. In addition, at each of the two consecutive plan
year  ends the first of which coincides with or next follows  the
Termination Date, Company shall pay to Employee (within  15  days
after  the end of the plan year) the amounts which Employee would
have   been   allocated  under  the  profit-sharing  plans   from
contributions    (including,   without    limitation,    matching
contributions under any 401(k) plan or arrangement) made  by  the
Company for such plan years had Employee not been terminated, had
he  continued to earn the Base Annual Salary, and had he  elected
to  make employee deferrals to any 401(k) plan at the level  such
deferrals  were  made  by  Employee  immediately  prior  to   his
termination.   In addition, if the Employee has, or should  have,
an Excess Benefit Account under the First National Bancorp Excess
Benefits  Plan (the "Excess Plan") or similar account  under  any
other  deferred compensation plan which is designed to supplement
the  Company's  401(k)  plan, the entire account,  including  any
nonvested portion, shall be paid by Company to Employee within 15
days after the Termination Date.  If, at the two consecutive plan
year  ends  of  the  Excess Plan (or other deferred  compensation
plan,  as applicable) the first of which coincides with  or  next
follows  the Termination Date, Employee's Excess Benefit Account,
or  similar  account under any other deferred compensation  plan,
would  have been credited with amounts (based on Employee's  Base
Salary  Amount  and employee deferrals to any  401(k)  and  other
deferred compensation plans at the level such deferrals were made
by Employee immediately prior to his termination) if Employee had
not  been  terminated, then Company shall pay  to  Employee  said
amounts  within  15  days after the end of each  respective  plan
year.   The  Excess Plan shall be deemed amended to  reflect  the
above  provisions  as applicable to Employee and  the  provisions
shall  also  apply  to any deferred compensation  plan  which  is
subsequently   adopted   by   Company   under   which    Employee
participates.

      (c)  Stock Plans.  Employee shall receive full vesting  and
all restrictions against Employee shall lapse with respect to and
under any stock plans maintained by Company immediately prior  to
the  Termination Date.  Employee shall have six months  following
the  Termination  Date in which to exercise  the  rights  granted
below.  The six-month exercise period shall apply notwithstanding
any  shorter exercise period which may be provided for under  the
stock  option agreement in the case of Employee's termination  of
employment.   To the extent that the provision set forth  in  the
previous   sentence  conflicts  with  Employee's   stock   option
agreement, the stock option agreement is deemed amended  and  the
provision  in  the  previous sentence shall  control.   Provided,
however, the exercise period shall in no event be extended beyond
the  date on which the option would expire under the stock option
agreement if Employee had not been terminated.  During  the  six-
month  period  (or  shorter period if the  options  would  expire
within  such  shorter period under the stock option agreement  if
Employee had not been terminated) following the Termination Date,
the  Employee shall be entitled to elect one (but not  more  than
one) of the following alternatives:

      (1)   To exercise any stock options not exercised prior  to
the Termination Date;

      (2)  To make a written demand for payment by Company of  an
amount  equal  to the difference between the value of  the  stock
which  is subject to the options and the exercise price  for  the
stock subject to said options.  For this purpose, the "value"  of
the stock subject to the options shall be the greatest of (i) the
fair  market  value  of  the stock on the date  Employee  demands
payment hereunder, or (ii) the highest fair market value  of  the
stock  on  the date any Change of Control occurred, or (iii)  the
highest  consideration  (whether in cash  or  in  kind)  paid  in
connection with any Change of Control event to any shareholder of
Company for such shareholder's shares of stock in Company by  the
"person"  or  "group," as determined in accordance  with  Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, which attained control pursuant  to
said Change of Control event.  Company shall make payment of  the
appropriate  amount, as determined above, within  15  days  after
Employee makes the written demand.

      (e)   Miscellaneous Benefits.  Employee may continue  using
any  Company-owned  automobile and any  Company-provided  country
club  privileges  through  the end of  the  month  in  which  the
Termination Date occurs.

<PAGE>

      (f)  Other Employee Benefits.  The benefits hereunder shall
not  be  affected  by  or reduced because of any  other  benefits
(including,  but not limited to, a severance pay  plan  which  is
independent  of  a Change of Control) to which  Employee  may  be
entitled  by reason of his continuing employment with Company  or
the termination of his employment with Company, and no other such
benefit by reason of such employment shall be affected or reduced
because  of  the  benefits bestowed by this Agreement;  provided,
however,  that the foregoing will not be interpreted  to  require
duplicative medical benefits.

      4.    Golden Parachute Payment.  It is the intention of the
parties  that  the Severance Amount payments and  other  payments
under  this  Agreement are reasonable compensation for Employee's
service  to Company and its subsidiaries and shall not constitute
"excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of
the   Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended,  and   any
regulations thereunder.  If the independent accountants acting as
auditors  for the Company on the date of a Change of Control  (or
another  accounting firm designated by them) determine  that  the
Severance  Amount payments or other payments under this Agreement
constitute  "excess  parachute  payments"  (without  taking  into
account any amounts in excess of 299 percent (299%) of the  "base
amount,"  as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) which might  otherwise
be  "reasonable  compensation"  within  the  meaning  of  Section
280G(b)(4)),  then  the payments under this Agreement  shall,  in
lieu  of the payments otherwise due, be increased to the  sum  of
(a)  the base amount, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3), plus  (b)
an  amount  equal  to the quotient of (i) the  "excess  parachute
payment," as defined in Section 280G(b), divided by (ii) one  (1)
minus the rate of tax (expressed as a decimal) imposed under Code
Section  4999.   The purpose of the preceding  sentence  is  that
payments hereunder are "grossed up" so that Employee will receive
all amounts due under this Agreement without diminution by reason
of taxes imposed under Section 4999.

     5.   Arbitration and Litigation.

      (a)  Arbitration is not required of Employee to resolve any
dispute  with Company hereunder, but is merely an alternative  to
resolve the dispute available to Employee if he elects to use it.
Company shall have no right to avail itself of arbitration unless
Employee  agrees  to arbitration.  All arbitrations  pursuant  to
this  Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the  rules
of  the  American Arbitration Association then in  effect,  by  a
single  arbitrator if the parties shall agree  upon  one,  or  by
three  arbitrators,  one appointed by each  party,  and  a  third
arbitrator  appointed  by  the two arbitrators  selected  by  the
parties,  all  arbitrators from a panel proposed by the  American
Arbitration Association.  If any party shall fail to  appoint  an
arbitrator within thirty (30) days after it is notified to do so,
then   the   arbitration  shall  be  accomplished  by  a   single
arbitrator.   Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto,  all
arbitration  proceedings shall be held in  Gainesville,  Georgia.
Each  party  agrees  to comply with any award  rendered  in  such
proceeding.  The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be  tendered
within  sixty (60) days after final submission of the parties  in
writing  or any hearing before the arbitrators and shall  include
their  individual votes.  If Employee is entitled  to  any  award
pursuant   to   the  determination  reached  in  the  arbitration
proceeding,  he  shall be entitled to payment by Company  of  all
attorney's fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses  incurred
in connection with the arbitration.

      (b)   In  the event that any dispute hereunder is  resolved
through litigation, and Employee's position in such litigation is
sustained to any extent by the court, then Company agrees that it
shall  pay  all  of Employee's attorney's fees, court  costs  and
other out-of-pocket expenses relating to the litigation.

      6.    Notices.  Notices and all other communications  under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when
personally  delivered  or mailed by United States  registered  or
certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  postage   prepaid,
addressed as follows:

     If to the Company to:

     First National Bancorp
     P.O. Drawer 937
     Gainesville, Georgia 30503

<PAGE>

      Attention:     Secretary of First National Bancorp, or  its
successor,  with  copies  to  the  President  of  First  National
Bancorp, or its successor and the President of The First National
Bank of Gainesville, or its successor.

     If to the Employee to:   J. Reid Moore




or to such other address as either party may furnish to the other
in  writing,  except that notice of changes of address  shall  be
effective only upon receipt.

      7.    Applicable Law.  This contract is entered into under,
and  shall be governed for all purposes by, the laws of the State
of Georgia.

      8.    Severability.   If a court of competent  jurisdiction
determines  that any provision of this Agreement  is  invalid  or
unenforceable,  then the invalidity or unenforceability  of  that
provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of  any
other  provision of this Agreement and all other provisions shall
remain in full force and effect.
      9.    Withholding of Taxes; Set-Off.  Company may  withhold
from  any  benefits  payable under this  Agreement  all  federal,
state,  city  or other taxes as may be required pursuant  to  any
law, governmental regulation or ruling.  The right of Employee to
receive benefits under this Agreement, however, shall be absolute
and   shall   not   be  subject  to  any  set-off,  counterclaim,
recoupment,  defense, duty to mitigate, or other  rights  Company
may have against him or anyone else.

      10.   Not  An  Employment Agreement; Subsequent Employment.
Nothing in this Agreement shall give the Employee any rights  (or
impose any obligations) to continued employment by the Company or
any subsidiary or successor of the Company, nor shall it give the
Company  any rights (or impose any obligations) for the continued
performance  of  duties by the Employee for the  Company  or  any
subsidiary  or  successor of the Company.   Employee's  right  to
receive  benefits under this Agreement shall not  be  reduced  by
Employee's  employment with any other employer after  terminating
employment  with  the  Company.  Any  compensation  for  services
rendered  or consulting fees earned after the date of termination
shall  not  diminish Employee's right to receive all amounts  due
hereunder.

      11.   No  Assignment.   The  Employee's  right  to  receive
payments or benefits under this Agreement shall not be assignable
or  transferable,  whether  by pledge,  creation  of  a  security
interest  or otherwise, other than a transfer by will or  by  the
laws  of descent and distribution.  In the event of any attempted
assignment  or  transfer contrary to this paragraph  the  Company
shall  have  no  liability to pay any amount so attempted  to  be
assigned  or  transferred.   This Agreement  will  inure  to  the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's personal or legal
representatives,  executors, administrators,  successors,  heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees.

      12.  Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon  and
inure  to the benefit of the Company, its successors and  assigns
(including,  without limitation, any company into or  with  which
the  Company may merge or consolidate).  The Company agrees  that
it  will  not  effect  the sale or other disposition  of  all  or
substantially all of its assets unless either (i) the  person  or
entity  acquiring  the  assets or a substantial  portion  of  the
assets  shall  expressly assume by an instrument in  writing  all
duties  and  obligations of the Company under this  Agreement  or
(ii)  the company shall provide, through the establishment  of  a
separate reserve for the payment in full of all amounts which are
or  may  reasonably be expected to become payable to the Employee
under this Agreement.

      13.   Employee's Indemnity.  Employee shall be entitled  to
the  indemnity provided to officers of Company immediately  prior
to  the  Change of Control.  Any changes to Company's  bylaws  or
otherwise  which reduce any indemnity granted to  officers  shall
not  affect  the  rights granted hereunder.   Company  shall  not
reduce  any  of Employee's indemnity benefits without  the  prior
written  consent of Employee.  Any references to Georgia  law  

<PAGE>

in the bylaws of Company or other documents granting indemnity to
Employee shall be deemed to be references as of the date of  this
Agreement,  and  any  amendments  to  Georgia  law,  including  a
revocation  thereof,  shall  not reduce  the  indemnity  benefits
granted hereunder.

      14.   Costs  of  Enforcement;  Interest.   Subject  to  the
provisions  of  Paragraph  5 above, in  the  event  the  Employee
collects  any  part  of the Severance Amount  or  other  benefits
hereunder  or  otherwise  enforces the terms  of  this  Agreement
through  a lawyer or lawyers, Company will pay all costs of  such
collection  or  enforcement,  including  reasonable  legal   fees
incurred  by  the Employee.  In addition, Company  shall  pay  to
Employee  interest on all or any part of the Severance Amount  or
other  benefits hereunder that is not paid when  due  at  a  rate
equal  to the Prime Rate as announced by The First National  Bank
of Gainesville or its successors from time to time.

     15.  Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the date
first  above written and shall remain in effect for a  period  of
three years.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the  event  of  a  Change of Control during the initial,  or  any
subsequent,  term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall  remain
in  effect  until  the later of (a) the end of the  term  of  the
Agreement  or  (b)  the day after the last  day  in  the  Covered
Period.   This  Agreement, unless terminated as  provided  below,
shall  be  automatically renewed to add an additional year  after
each  year  expires,  so  that the term is  always  three  years,
without  further  action by the Employee or  the  Company.   This
Agreement can be terminated only by either party giving the other
notice  on or before June 30 of the year of termination.  If  the
agreement  is terminated under the preceding sentence,  the  term
shall  continue for two years after the end of the year in  which
the notice of termination was given.  If notice of termination is
given  after  June 30 of a year, then the term of  the  Agreement
shall continue for three years after the end of the year in which
the notice of termination was given.

      IN  WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement
to  be  executed and delivered as of the day and year first above
written.
