           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

      To the Investment Committee
      of the Savings Plan for Employees
      of Florida Progress Corporation

      In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for
      benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
      benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
      available for benefits of the Savings Plan for Employees of Florida
      Progress Corporation at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net
      assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period
      ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
      Investment Committee; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
      financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
      statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
      require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
      about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
      An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
      amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
      accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan's
      management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
      We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
      expressed above.

      Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
      financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included
      in Schedules I, II and III is presented for purposes of additional
      analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but
      is additional information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
      Regulations for reporting and disclosure under the Employee Retirement
      Income Security Act of 1974 and the Securities and Exchange Commission's
      rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such
      information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
      audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
      stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
      statements taken as a whole.

(1)    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       The following description of the Savings Plan for Employees of Florida
       Progress Corporation (Plan or Savings Plan) provides only general
       information. Participants should refer to the Savings Plan Summary Plan
       Description/Prospectus, as amended, which is part of the "You & Your
       Company: A Strategic Partnership" employee handbook for a more complete
       description of the Plan's provisions.

       The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the
       Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Plan was
       qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code on December
       28, 1988. An employee of the Participating Companies (as defined below)
       is eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she has completed at
       least six months of employment or worked at least 1,000 hours in a
       twelve-month period. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The
       following companies participated in the Plan during the year ended
       December 31, 1995:


                     Florida Progress Corporation
                     Florida Power Corporation
                     Electric Fuels Corporation
                     Talquin Development Company
                     Progress Energy Corporation
                     Advanced Separation Technologies Incorporated

       Contributions
       -------------
       With the exception of the ESOP Fund, which is frozen as to contributions,
       eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 16% of their monthly
       base pay and may designate these contributions as either Regular Savings
       after-tax and/or 401(k) pretax dollars. Each participating company
       contributes each month an amount equal to 65% of the employees'
       contributions, up to 6% of base pay. Individual corporations, achieving
       certain predetermined goals and participating in the special company
       contribution portion of the Savings Plan, may make an additional
       contribution of 5% for each of two goals achieved, up to a maximum of
       10%, of eligible employee contributions to Regular Savings or 401(k). All
       corporations participating in the special company contribution portion of
       the Savings Plan achieved a portion of their individual Savings Plan
       goals in 1995, 1994, and 1993, resulting in additional special
       contributions of $572, $1,162, and $629 for each year, respectively.

       Participant Accounts
       --------------------
       A separate account is maintained for each investment option of a
       participant by type of contribution. Plan earnings are allocated and
       credited to the account monthly, based on the adjusted balance of each
       participant's account. Forfeitures of non-vested employer contributions
       by terminated participants may be used to reduce employer matching
       contributions. The Plan permits terminated or retired employees with
       vested Plan balances greater than $3,500 to continue to maintain active
       investment accounts. Although no further employee contributions are
       allowed, terminated or retired employees may continue to transfer amounts
       among the investment options, with the exception of the Employee Stock
       Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund, which is frozen and only permits outgoing
       transfers. The amounts of deferred vested benefits payable to these
       terminated or retired participants as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
       were $53,644, $46,281 and $25,625, respectively.

       Vesting
       -------
       Participants are immediately vested in their Regular and 401(k)
       contributions and earnings thereon. The percentage of vesting in the
       employer contributions and earnings thereon is based on a schedule of
       Years of Continuous Service as follows:

               Years of Continuous Service          Vested Percentage
               ---------------------------          -----------------
                      Less than 2                               0%
                      2 but less than 3                        25%
                      3 but less than 4                        50%
                      4 but less than 5                        75%
                      5 or more                               100%

       A year of Continuous Service is earned when a participant works at least
       1,000 hours in a calendar year. A participant will also become fully
       vested in the employer contributions and earnings thereon upon death,
       disability, attainment of normal retirement, or termination of the Plan.

       Loans to Participants
       ---------------------
       All actively employed Savings Plan participants with available account
       balances may apply for a loan from their own Plan account. No loan shall
       exceed the lesser of $50,000 or one-half of the participant's vested
       Savings Plan account balance. The amount of each individual loan will be
       collateralized with an equivalent portion of the participant's Savings
       Plan account balance. This amount will be withdrawn from the
       participant's account and placed in a separate Loan Account. A
       participant is permitted a maximum of four outstanding loans at any one
       time. Each loan shall bear interest at a reasonable rate, as determined
       by the Investment Committee for the Savings Plan for Employees' Trust of
       Florida Progress Corporation ("Investment Committee"). Effective October
       1991, the loan interest rate is determined on a quarterly basis, using
       the Florida Savings Certificate of Deposit rate as published in the Wall
       Street Journal, as its primary factor. Interest charged on employee loans
       is credited to the individual participant accounts.

<PAGE>

       A participant can choose repayment terms on a new loan ranging from 6 to
       48 months. Repayments are made via payroll deduction for active employees
       and by direct payment to the Savings Plan for inactive participants.
       Additionally, participants can elect to prepay all or a portion of their
       outstanding loan balance at any time during the term of the loan.
       Repayments are returned to each participant account (reducing the
       outstanding loan account balance). Loan repayment activity is shown on
       the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available For Benefits as part of
       Member Contributions. Loan repayments were $10,209, $9,831, and $8,522
       for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. New
       loan activity is also included on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
       Available For Benefits as part of Member Withdrawals. Loan withdrawals
       were $10,698, $9,991 and $11,134 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
       1994 and 1993, respectively.

       The number and total value of outstanding loans at December 31, 1995,
       1994 and 1993, are as follows:

                                    Number of
               Plan Year        Loans Outstanding      Outstanding Loan Balance
               ---------        -----------------      ------------------------
                 1995                 5,201                    $18,125
                 1994                 5,197                    $17,329
                 1993                 5,231                    $17,608

       Basis of Accounting
       -------------------
       The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

       Reclassifications
       -----------------
       Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
       reclassified to conform to the current year manner of presentation. These
       amounts do not have a material impact on the financial statements taken
       as a whole.


(2)    INVESTMENTS:

       Investment Options
       ------------------
       The Plan currently offers five investment options as follows:

                 Indexed Equity Fund
                 Company Stock Fund
                 Stable Value Fund
                 Balanced Fund
                 Aggressive Equity Fund

       The Plan also contains a frozen ESOP arrangement as a result of the
       merger of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with the Savings Plan.
       The ESOP Fund is the fund into which all participants' accounts in the
       former ESOP were individually 

<PAGE>

       transferred. All former ESOP members became members of the Savings Plan,
       and the features and characteristics of the former ESOP continue to
       apply to the ESOP Fund accounts in the Savings Plan.

       Currently, the valuation of each fund, with the exception of the Stable
       Value Fund, is determined at the end of each month based on published
       prices. The valuation of the Stable Value Fund is determined at the end
       of each month based on invested principal and accumulated interest paid
       at contracted rates. Each employee's account reflects the account value
       as of the most recent valuation. All participant accounts are maintained
       in dollars except for the ESOP Fund, which is maintained in shares.

       The Stable Value Fund includes two structured investment contracts. These
       contracts are arrangements whereby a specified rate of return is
       guaranteed by an insurance company for a specified period (currently six
       months). If the return on the underlying investments is different from
       the guaranteed rate of return during the guarantee period, that
       difference is factored into the guaranteed rate of return for the
       subsequent period. The underlying investments include U.S. Treasury
       obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations. The Stable Value
       Fund also contains other insurance contracts, which provide for a fixed
       rate of return over the term of those contracts.

       Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade date with
       gains and losses determined by using an average cost basis for
       investments. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded based on
       the market value of investments on the valuation date. When Florida
       Progress Corporation common stock is distributed from the Company Stock
       Fund and the ESOP Fund to participants in settlement of their accounts,
       these funds recognize gains or losses equal to the difference between
       average cost and the quoted market value of the shares distributed.

       The number of employees participating in the Plan and in each investment
       fund of the Plan at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:

                                            1995      1994      1993
                                            -----     -----     -----
           Plan                             5,346     5,612     6,114

           Each Investment Fund:

              Indexed Equity                2,266     2,280     2,373
              Company Stock                 3,506     3,729     4,153
              Stable Value                  3,938     4,221     4,538
              ESOP                          3,416     3,824     4,319
              Balanced                      1,011       946       770
              Aggressive Equity             1,882     1,715     1,280

(3)    EXPENSES OF THE PLAN:

       The Company pays all expenses for outside services necessary for the
       administration of the Plan, except for the ESOP Fund. The ESOP Fund pays
       its own expenses for outside services necessary for the administration of
       the fund. Fees for participant loans are borne by the loan recipients.


(4)    RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500:

       The realized gains and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Plan
       assets reported in the financial statements are $6,773 and $39,257,
       $8,136 and $(26,461) and $6,625 and $1,611 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
       respectively. The calculation of these amounts is based on the historical
       cost of the assets. However, when the Plan files its tax return, these
       amounts are required to be calculated based on the fair market value of
       Plan assets as of the previous year-end. Using this calculation method,
       the amount of realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation
       (depreciation) is $692 and $23,447, $(3,307) and $(15,184), and $489 and
       $4,533 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The tax returns for 1995,
       1994 and 1993 also include a net gain in other categories totalling
       $21,891, $166, and $3,215 for each year, respectively.

       Department of Labor regulations also require the disclosure of Benefits
       Payable as a separate line item when the Plan reports the value of assets
       and liabilities on its tax return. The amount of Benefits Payable
       reported on the tax return as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 is $2,728 and
       $2,925, respectively.


(5)    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

       The Plan is a qualified employees' trust under Section 401(a) of the
       Internal Revenue Code (Code), and the ESOP Fund is considered a tax
       credit employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 409 of
       the Code. As such, the Plan is exempt from federal income taxes under
       Section 501(a). No taxes are imposed on income, pretax contributions, tax
       deductible contributions or Company contributions made to the Plan,
       pursuant to the provisions of Section 402(a) of the Code, until such time
       as the employees or the employees' beneficiaries receive distributions
       from the Plan.
