NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1998

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the merger of West Coast Bank (West Coast) with and into F.N.B. 
Corporation (the Corporation).  The merger, which was consummated on January 20,
1998, resulted in the Corporation issuing 585,263 shares of common stock.  The 
transaction has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and such financial
statements are presented as if the merger had been consummated for all the 
periods presented.  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.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the 
year ended December 31, 1997 and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
on April 3, 1998.

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

PER SHARE AMOUNTS

   Per share amounts are adjusted for common stock dividends, including the 5% 
stock dividend declared on April 9, 1998.

   Basic earnings per 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.

   Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming 
conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the beginning of 
the year or date of issuance and the exercise of stock options and warrants.  
Such adjustments to net income and the weighted average number of shares of 
common stock are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per share.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

   As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting 
Standards Board Statement (FAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
FAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components; however, the adoption of FAS No. 130 had no impact on
the Corporation's net income or stockholders' equity.  FAS No. 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on the Corporation's available for sale securities,
which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be
included in other comprehensive income.  Prior year financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the requirements of FAS No. 130.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

   On April 6, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement with 
Citizens Bank & Trust (Citizens), a community bank headquartered in Clearwater, 
Florida with assets of $116.0 million.  The merger agreement calls for an 
exchange of 1.515 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each share of 
Citizens Holding Company, parent company of Citizens, common stock.  The 
Corporation anticipates issuing approximately 1,025,344 shares of its common 
stock.  Citizens will be merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation,
First National Bank of Florida (FNB Florida), formerly Indian Rocks National 
Bank, in Largo, Florida.  The transaction, which is expected to close during 
the third quarter of 1998 pending regulatory and shareholder approval, is
expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests

   On February 2, 1998, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement 
with Seminole Bank (Seminole), a community bank headquartered in Seminole, 
Florida with assets of $93.7 million.  The merger agreement calls for an 
exchange of 1.530 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each share of 
Seminole common stock.  The Corporation anticipates issuing approximately 
855,308 shares of its common stock. Seminole will be merged into an existing 
subsidiary of the Corporation, FNB Florida. The transaction, which is expected
to close during the second quarter of 1998 pending regulatory and shareholder
approval, is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.

   On January 20, 1998, the Corporation completed its merger with West Coast,
headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with assets totaling $107.4 million.  
Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of West Coast's common 
stock was converted into 1.0 share of the Corporation's common stock.  A total 
of 585,263 shares of the Corporation's common stock were issued.  Results for 
prior years are restated to reflect this acquisition as a pooling-of-interests.
The following table sets forth separate company financial information for the 
year ended December 31, 1997 (in thousands):

   The Corporation regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and holds 
discussions with, various potential acquisition candidates and as a general rule
the Corporation publicly announces such acquisitions only after a definitive 
agreement has been reached.

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 securities portfolio, the Corporation has sufficient sources of 
funds available to meet its cash needs.

   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 $32.0 million was unused at March 31, 1998.  To 
further meet its liquidity needs, the Corporation also has access to the Federal
Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as other uncommitted 
funding sources. 

   The financial performance of the Corporation is subject to risk from interest
rate fluctuations.  This interest rate risk arises due to differences between 
the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing 
liabilities subject to pricing over a specified period, the amount of change in
individual interest rates and the embedded options in all financial instruments.
The principal objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management 
activities is to maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable 
levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of
the Corporation.  The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is 
responsible for achieving this objective.  The Corporation uses an 
asset/liability model to quantify its balance sheet strategies and their 
associated risks.  Net interest income simulation is the principal tool utilized
for these purposes.  Gap analysis is employed as a secondary diagnostic 
measurement.  The Corporation attempts to mitigate interest rate risk through 
asset deployment, asset and liability pricing and matched maturity funding.  

   A gradual 300 basis point decrease in interest rates is estimated to cause a 
decline in net interest income of .6% or $800,000 as compared to net interest 
income if interest rates were unchanged over the next twelve months.  This low 
level of variation is within the Corporation's policy limits.  This simulation 
analysis assumed that savings and checking interest rates have a low correlation
to changes in market rates of interest and that certain asset prepayments 
changed as refinancing incentives evolved.  Further, in the event of a change 
of such a magnitude in interest rates, the ALCO would likely take actions to 
further mitigate its exposure to the change.  However, due to the greater 
uncertainty of other specific actions that would be taken, the analysis 
assumed no change in the Corporation's asset/liability composition.

   The gap analysis which follows is based on the amortization, maturity or 
repricing of the Corporation's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities.  Non-maturity deposits have been allocated to represent their 
lower sensitivity to changes in market interest rates than other adjustable 
rate instruments.  The cumulative gap represents the difference between these 
assets and liabilities over a specified time period.  Based on the cumulative
one year gap and assuming no change in asset/liability composition, a decrease 
in interest rates would be expected to result in slightly lower net interest 
income.  The gap position is within the Corporation's policy limits.

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.

   Capital management is a continuous process.  Since December 31, 1997, 
stockholders' equity has increased $4.6 million as a result of earnings 
retention.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the return on average 
equity on a recurring income basis was 12.78%.  Total cash dividends declared 
represented 38.42% of net income.  Book value per common share was $14.67 at 
March 31, 1998, compared to $14.54 at December 31, 1997.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

   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.

   Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the
Corporation's loan review and work-out 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.  Losses 
are recognized where appropriate.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

   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.

   Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and 
selected ratios (dollars in thousands):

consistent application of the Corporation's charge-off policy and methodology 
for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to West Coast 
Bancorp, Inc.

REGULATORY MATTERS

   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, 1998, that the Corporation and 
each of its banking subsidiaries are all "well capitalized".

   As of December 31, 1997, the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries
have been categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for 
prompt corrective action.  Following are capital ratios as of March 31, 1998 for

</TABLE>

   The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various 
regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking 
agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain 
mandatory, and 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.

(1)   The amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the 
      federal statutory tax rate of 35% adjusted for certain federal tax 
      preferences.
(2)   Average balance includes non-accrual loans.  Loans consist of average 
      total loans less average unearned income.  The amount of loan fees 
      included in interest income on loans is immaterial.
(3)   Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the difference between 
      total interest earned and total interest paid by total interest earning 
      assets.

   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 1998, net interest income, on a fully 
taxable equivalent basis, totaled $30.5 million, representing a 4.98% increase 
over the first three months of 1997.  Net interest income consisted of interest
 income of $54.3 million and interest expense of $23.8 million for the first 
three months of 1998 compared to $50.1 million and $21.0 million for each, 
respectively, for the first three months of 1997.  Net interest margin fell 
to 4.76% at March 31, 1998 from 4.97% at March 31, 1997, as the yield on total
interest earning assets declined by 9 basis points and the rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities increased by 14 basis points.  Strong competitive factors 
resulted in an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans and a 12 
basis point increase in rates paid on deposits. 

   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, 1998 as compared to the three months ending March 31, 1997 (in 
thousands):

   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 net 
size of the rate and volume changes.
      
   Interest income on loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased 
7.49% from $41.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $45.1 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  This increase was the 
result of an increase in average loans of 9.66% over this same period last year.

   Interest expense on deposits increased $2.4 million or 12.86% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. 
This increase was the result of an increase in average deposits of 9.41% over 
this same three month period.  The average balance in savings and time deposits 
increased $143.6 million as the average balance in interest bearing demand 
deposits increased by $32.7 million. Interest expense on long-term debt 
increased $244,000 or 32.36% for these same periods due to an increase in 
average long-term debt of 55.53%, which was partially offset by a decline in 
rate paid of 113 basis points.

<PAGE>

   The provision for loan losses totaled $1.7 million for the first three months
of 1998, as compared to $2.3 million for the first three months of 1997.  In 
connection with the Corporation's 1997 acquisition of West Coast Bancorp, Inc. 
(WCBI), the Corporation recognized an additional provision for loan losses 
during the first quarter of 1997 after applying the Corporation's allowance for
loan loss policy and methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance 
to WCBI.

   Non-interest income increased by 13.27% during the first three months of 
1998 as compared to the first three months of 1997, primarily due to an increase
of 13.22% in service charges and other fees.   

   Total non-interest expenses increased 11.33% during the first three months 
of 1998, compared to the first three months of 1997.  The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits as
well as other miscellaneous operating costs.  Salaries and personnel expense 
increased 12.04% during the first three months of 1998 as compared to the first
three months of 1997.  This increase was due to increases for incentive 
compensation as well as normal annual salary adjustments.  Included in other 
non-interest expenses during the first three months of 1998 was $170,000 for 
expenses related to the affiliation with West Coast.  These expenses were 
primarily legal and investment banking costs associated with the structuring 
and completion of the merger. 
     
   Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.4 
million, providing an effective tax rate of 31.25% compared to 32.50% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997.  

YEAR 2000
 
   During the quarter, the Corporation continued to implement its Year 2000 Bank
Strategy and Project Plan as more fully described in the Corporation's 1997 
Annual Report.  The Corporation currently believes that modifications to 
existing systems, conversion to new systems and vendor compliance upgrades will
be resolved on a timely basis and related costs will not have a material impact
on its results of operations or financial condition.
