F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1997

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of a subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (the
Corporation) with and into Southwest Banks, Inc. (Southwest).  The merger
which was consummated on January 21, 1997 resulted in the Corporation issuing
a total of 2,851,907 shares of common stock.  This transaction has been
accounted for on a pooling-of-interests basis, and the financial statements
prior to the combination have been restated to reflect the Southwest
acquisition.  The 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 three-month period ended March 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by
reference in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates
and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PER SHARE AMOUNTS

     Per share amounts are adjusted for the common stock dividends, including
the 5% stock dividend approved on April 23, 1997.

     Primary earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income,
adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared, by the sum of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares
of common stock which would be issued assuming the exercise of vested stock
options during each period.

     Fully diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding,
assuming the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the
beginning of the year or date of issuance and the exercise of vested stock
options.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128 (FAS No. 128), "Earnings per Share," which is required to
be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Corporation will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share
and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. 
The impact of FAS No. 128 on the calculations of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share is immaterial for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
1996.
 
     Cash dividends per common share are based on the actual cash dividends
declared adjusted for stock dividends.  Book value per common share is based
on shares outstanding at each period end adjusted retroactively for stock
dividends.

subsidiary of the Corporation, having total assets of approximately $120 
million.  The Corporation will receive Sun stock worth approximately 
$18.6 million, which represents a 13.8% ownership of Sun.  The transaction 
is expected to close during the second quarter of 1997.

PART I

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

     The Corporation monitors its liquidity position on an ongoing basis to
assure that it is able to meet the need for funds at all times.  Given the
monetary nature of its assets and liabilities and the significant source of
liquidity provided by its available for sale securities portfolio, the
Corporation has sufficient sources of funds available to meet its cash needs.

<PAGE>

     Additionally,  the Corporation has external sources of funds available
should it desire to use them.  These include approved lines of credit with
several major domestic banks, of which $17.0 million was unused at March 31,
1997.  To further meet its liquidity needs, the Corporation also has access
to the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve System, as well as
other funding sources.

     Through the review of the gap analysis and net interest income
simulation modeling, management continually monitors the Corporation's
exposure to changing interest rates.  Management attempts to mitigate
repricing mismatches through asset and liability pricing and matched maturity
funding. 

     Interest rate sensitivity estimates the impact that future changes in
interest rates will have on net interest income.  The gap is one measurement
of risk inherent in the balance sheet as it relates to changes in interest
rates and their effect on net interest income.  

     The gap analysis which follows is based on the amortizations, maturities
and repricing of assets and liabilities.  Non-maturity deposit balances have
been allocated to various repricing intervals to estimate their
characteristics.  The cumulative gap reflects the net position of assets and
liabilities repricing in specified time periods.  Based on the cumulative one
year gap and assuming no restructuring or modifications to asset/liability
composition, a rise in interest rates would result in a minimal reduction in
net interest income.

     Following is the gap analysis as of March 31, 1997 (in thousands):

                       WITHIN      4-12      1-5       OVER

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such
as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive
conditions and economic forces.  The Corporation seeks to maintain a strong
capital base to support its growth and expansion activities, to provide
stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.

     The capital management function is a continuous process.  Central to
this process is internal equity generation accomplished by earnings
retention.  Since December 31, 1996, stockholders' equity has increased $4.7
million as a result of earnings retention.  For the three months ended March
31, 1997, the return on average equity was 14.44%.  Total cash dividends
declared represented 29.59% of net income.  Book value per share was $13.98
at March 31, 1997, compared to $13.79 at December 31, 1996.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate
owned.  Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured
loans.  Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have
been discontinued.  It is the Corporation's policy to discontinue interest
accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90
days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of
collection.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest
credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest
accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. 
Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent
principal and interest has been paid, or the loan becomes both well secured
and in the process of collection.  Consumer installment loans are generally
charged off against the allowance for loan losses upon reaching 90 to 180
days past due, depending on the installment loan type.  Restructured loans
are loans in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest
rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress.

     Following is a summary of non-performing assets (dollars in thousands):

                                               MARCH 31,        DECEMBER 31,

    Total non-performing assets                 $12,689            $13,662
                                                =======            =======

Asset quality ratios:
  Non-performing loans as percent of total loans    .59%              .56%
  Non-performing assets as percent of total assets  .56%              .61%

     Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part
of the Corporation's loan review process.  The potential risk of loss on
these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the present value
of projected future cash flows or the value of any underlying collateral,
recognizing losses where appropriate.  

     Management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses includes the
evaluation of the loan portfolio based on internally generated loan review
reports and the historical loss experience of the remaining balances of the
various homogeneous loan pools which comprise the loan portfolio.  Specific
factors which are evaluated include the previous loan loss experience with
the customer, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the
loan, the collateral position of the loan, the quality of financial
information supplied by the borrower and the general financial condition of
the borrower.  Historical loss experience on the remaining portfolio segments
is considered in conjunction with current status of economic conditions, loan
loss trends, delinquency and non-accrual trends, credit administration and
concentrations of credit risk.

REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. 
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory,
and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's
financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and its banking
subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Corporation's and
banking subsidiaries' capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital
adequacy require the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of tier 1 capital to
average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of March 31, 1997, that
the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries meet all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.  Following are capital
ratios as of March 31, 1997 for the Corporation (dollars in thousands):

                                                                   To Be Well

subsidiaries have been categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action.

     Net interest income, the Corporation's primary source of earnings, is
the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest earning assets,
primarily loans and securities, exceed interest expense on deposits and
borrowed funds.  During the first three months of 1997, net interest income,
on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $26.3 million, representing a
6.87% increase over the first three months of 1996.  Net interest income
consisted of interest income of $45.1 million and interest expense of $18.8
million for the first three months of 1997 compared to $42.6 million and
$18.0 million for each, respectively, for the first three months of 1996. 
Net interest margin fell to 5.01% at March 31, 1997 from 5.03% at March 31,
1996.

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in
net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes and rates of
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three months
ending March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months ending March 31, 1996

     The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was
allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based
on the relative size of the rate and volume changes.

     Interest income on loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased
6.84% from $35.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $37.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was the
result of an increase in average loans of 11.27% over this same period last
year.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $589,000 or 3.67% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the three months ended March 31,
1996.  This increase was the result of an increase in average deposits of
6.63% over this same three month period.  Interest expense on short-term
borrowings increased $209,000 or 17.29% for these same periods due to an
increase in average short-term borrowings of 46.27%.

     The provision for loan losses totaled $2.0 million for the first three
months of 1997, as compared to $1.6 million for the first three months of
1996.  The increase in the provision for loan losses is a result of an
increase in loan originations and management's analysis of the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses which takes into consideration factors relevant
to the collectibility of the portfolio.

     Total non-interest income increased 21.85% during the first three months
of 1997 compared to the same period of 1996.  This increase was attributable
to increases recognized on the sale of equity securities. 

<PAGE>

    Total non-interest expenses increased 3.88% during the first three months
of 1997, compared to the first three months of 1996.  This increase was
attributable to normal increases in compensation and the opening of
additional offices since the first three months of 1996.  

     Income before taxes was $9.8 million for the first three months of 1997,
representing an increase of $1.6 million or 19.91% over the same period of
1996.  Income taxes increased $646,000 or 25.58% over the same periods.

     Consolidated net income was $6.7 million for the first three months of
1997, representing a $985,000 or 17.38% increase over the first three months
of 1996.  The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.19% and 1.08% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, while the return on average
equity was 14.45% and 13.13% for those same periods, respectively.
