F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1999

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give 
retroactive effect to the merger of Guaranty Bank & Trust (Guaranty) with and 
into F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation).  The merger, which was consummated 
on January 12, 1999, resulted in the Corporation issuing 1,250,994 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, 1998 and 
footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     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 have been adjusted for common stock dividends, including 
the 5 percent stock dividend declared on April 26, 1999.

     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.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

     On January 12, 1999, the Corporation completed its affiliation with 
Guaranty Bank & Trust (Guaranty), headquartered in Venice, Florida with assets 
of $154.6 million.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding 
share of Guaranty's common stock was converted into 1.536 shares of the 
Corporation's common stock.  A total of 1,250,994 shares of the Corporation's
common stock were issued.  On February 12, 1999, Guaranty was merged into an 
existing subsidiary of the Corporation, West Coast Bank, to form West Coast 
Guaranty Bank, N.A.  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, 1998 
(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. 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Corporation operates in one reportable segment:  community banking.  
The Corporation's community banking subsidiaries offer services traditionally
offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial and individual 
demand and time deposit accounts and commercial, mortgage and individual 
installment loans.  In addition to traditional banking products, the 
Corporation's community banking subsidiaries offer various alternative 
investment products, including mutual funds and annuities.  The following
tables provide financial information for this segment of the Corporation (in
thousands).  Other items shown in the tables below represent the parent
company, other non-bank subsidiaries and eliminations, which are necessary
for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

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 $45.0 million was unused at March 31, 
1999.  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 the effects of 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.  

<PAGE>

     A gradual 300 basis point decrease in interest rates is estimated to cause
a decline in net interest income of 1.7% or $2.4 million for 1999 as compared to
net interest income if interest rates were unchanged during 1999.  
Comparatively, a gradual 300 basis point decrease in interest rates to actual 
1998 interest rates would have decreased net interest income by 0.9% or $1.1 
million in 1998.  These low levels of variation are within the Corporation's 
policy limits.  The simulation analyses 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.

     Following is the gap analysis as of March 31, 1999 (in thousands):

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, 1998, 
stockholders' equity has increased $4.8 million as a result of earnings 
retention.  For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the return on average 
equity, based on core operating earnings, was 12.92%.  Core operating earnings 
exclude merger related costs of $819,000, net of tax.  Total cash dividends 
declared represented 43.52% of earnings.  Book value per common share was 
$13.79 at March 31, 1999, compared to $13.68 at December 31, 1998.

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, all unpaid interest is reversed.  
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 fair 
value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future 
cash flows.  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.

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, 1999, that the Corporation 
and each of its banking subsidiaries are all "well capitalized".  

     As of December 31, 1998, 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, 1999 for the Corporation (dollars in thousands):

</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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SUMMARY

     Core operating income for the first three months of 1999 was $9.0 million 
compared to $8.5 million for the first three months of 1998.  Core operating 
income consists of net income adjusted for merger related costs.  Basic earnings
per share were $.44 and $.42 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, while diluted earnings per share were $.43 and $.40, respectively.
These results were adjusted for a 5 percent stock dividend declared on April 26,
1999.  Non-recurring merger related costs of $819,000 and $170,000, net of tax,
were incurred during the first three months of 1999 and 1998.  Including these
non-recurring items, net income was $8.2 million and $8.3 million for the 
first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, resulting in diluted 
earnings per share of $.39 for both periods.  Highlights for the first three
months of 1999 include:

  *   A return on average assets of 1.08% and a return on average equity of 
      12.92%, both based on core operating earnings.
 
  *   A strong net interest margin of 4.76%.

  *   An increase in non-interest income of $1.6 million, including a 13.5% 
      increase in fee based income. 

  *   Completion of the Corporation's affiliation with Guaranty Bank and Trust

(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.

<PAGE>

     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 1999, net interest income, 
on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $36.2 million, representing a 
5.80% increase over the first three months of 1998.  Net interest income 
consisted of interest income of $61.8 million and interest expense of $25.6 
million for the first three months of 1999 compared to $60.5 million and $26.3
million for each, respectively, for the first three months of 1998.  Net 
interest margin remained fairly constant at 4.76% at March 31, 1999 compared 
with 4.78% at March 31, 1998.  On a quarter to quarter basis, the yield on 
total interest earning assets declined by 31 basis points and the rate paid 
on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 41 basis points.  Strong 
competitive factors and recent moves by the Federal Reserve Board to reduce 
interest rates subsequent to March 31, 1998, resulted in a 50 basis point 
decrease in the average yield on loans. 

     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, 1999 as compared to the three months ending March 31, 1998

     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 
5.97% from $49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $52.7 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  This increase was the 
result of an increase in average loans of 12.19% as the average yield declined 
by 50 basis points over the same period last year.

     Interest expense on deposits decreased $830,000 or 3.51% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998,
although average deposits increased 6.72% over the same three month period.  
The average balance in interest bearing demand and savings deposits increased 
by $92.7 million and $56.0 million, respectively.  The average balance in 
non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $58.9 million.  Interest 
expense on short-term borrowings increased $264,000 or 18.08% for these same 
periods due to a $49.3 million increase in average short-term borrowings, 
which was partially offset by a decline in the rate paid of 88 basis points.

<PAGE>

     The provision for loan losses totaled $2.1 million for the first three 
months of 1999, as compared to $1.8 million for the first three months of 
1998.  The increase in the provision is the result of higher loan volume.

     Non-interest income increased by 20.11% during the first three months of 
1999 as compared to the first three months of 1998.  Service charges and trust 
fees increased $618,000 over the first quarter of 1998.  In addition, the 
Corporation's investment in bank owned life insurance provided $752,000 in 
income for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 12.63% during the first three 
months of 1999, compared to the first three months of 1998.  The increase was 
primarily attributable to an increase of $1.8 million in salaries and employee 
benefits.  This increase was due to increases in incentive compensation as 
well as normal annual salary adjustments.  Included in non-interest expenses 
during the first three months of 1999 was $1.3 million in merger related 
expenses, as compared to $170,000 in the same period during 1998.  These 
expenses were primarily data processing termination and conversion costs and
change in control provisions associated with the structuring and completion 
of mergers. 
     
     Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 totaled 
$3.7 million, providing an effective tax rate of 30.99% compared to 31.58% 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The decrease in the effective 
tax rate reflects the higher level of tax-free income in 1999 over 1998.
 
YEAR 2000 READINESS
 
     The Year 2000 (Y2K) Issue is the result of computer programs being 
written using year fields consisting of only two digits rather than four.  
Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize "00" as 
the year 1900 rather than year 2000.  If such programs were in use and not 
corrected, it could result in system failures and temporary interruptions in 
the processing of transactions.  The Corporation's core processing systems 
were written with four digit year fields.  The Y2K Issue is not only an 
internal issue but also affects third parties including customers, counter 
parties, service providers and vendors.

     Because the Y2K Issue poses an unprecedented and profound enterprise 
wide challenge for every organization, the Corporation formed a Y2K Committee. 
The Y2K Committee developed a Year 2000 Enterprise Wide Project Plan (Y2K Plan),
which addresses both internal and external technology. 

     In accordance with the Y2K Plan, the Corporation has completed its 
inventory and assessment of all internal technologies, including both software 
and hardware.  Each system was assigned a significance rating as to the 
degree of criticality.  Formal detailed tests for systems with significance 
ratings of a critical nature have been completed.  Such systems include core 
processing and ancillary systems required to sustain operations.

     By the end of 1999, each of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries will be
processing on either of two core processing systems. The Corporation's 
northern banking affiliates will continue to process transactions on their 
existing core processing system.  During the second quarter of 1998, the 
Corporation made the strategic decision to convert each of the Florida banking 
affiliates to a new core processing system. All Florida banking affiliates 
will be converted by May 31, 1999. The decision to convert was based in part 
on the number of different systems being utilized by the Florida banking 
affiliates and the expiration of the Corporation's primary Florida core
processing contract.

<PAGE>

     The Corporation has received written representation from both vendors 
that each system in Y2K compliant as well as third party certification of the 
vendors compliance methodology.  The Corporation participated in test 
verifications of each core system during the fourth quarter of 1998.  The 
Corporation also developed a contingency plan which utilizes the two corporate 
wide core processing systems as contingencies for each other.
 
     The management of the Corporation has developed the Corporate Business 
Resumption Contingency Plan (BRC Plan) which identifies the level of customer 
service management desires in the event of a system failure.  The BRC Plan is 
the model for all financial affiliates use in the development of their specific 
BRC Plan.  The BRC Plan has also identified resources and tools to be used for 
implementation along with a method of plan validation, testing, trigger dates 
for implementation and training of the personnel who will be exercising the 
plan.

     During July of 1998, the Corporation's consumer finance subsidiary, 
Regency Finance Company (Regency), selected a third party vendor to support 
all of its future core application requirements.  These core applications 
included loans, insurance and the Corporation's subordinated note program.  
Regency's decision to select a new system was based upon the system's ability 
to support new lending products as well as the operating efficiencies 
resulting from real-time centralized processing.  The vendor has provided a
written warranty to Regency that it is Y2K compliant.  The system was tested 
for Y2K readiness during the fourth quarter of 1998 and installation was 
completed on February 28, 1999.

     With respect to external technology, the Y2K Plan provides for the 
evaluation and assessment of all significant funds takers, including large 
borrowing customers and bond issuers, and funds providers, including 
contingency lines of credit and deposit accounts.  All project plans for 
funds takers and providers have been substantially completed with continued 
monitoring to occur.  An integral part of the Corporation's funds provider 
project plan includes a Customer Awareness Program.  This program was 
developed to assure customer confidence and mitigate reputation and liquidity 
risk.  The program was not only developed to educate the Corporation's 
customers, but also its employees in responding to customer inquiries.  

     The Y2K Plan includes due diligence procedures as it relates to the 
fiduciary responsibilities of the Corporation's investment and trust functions,
including such activities as settlement transactions, remittance of bond 
payments and transactions related to mutual funds and other securities.  In 
performing its fiduciary responsibilities, the Corporation assessed the Y2K 
readiness of its safekeeping agents and broker/dealers.

     The Corporation's current assessment of cost associated with the 
completion of its Y2K Plan is not considered by management to be material to 
the Corporation's future operations.  Through March 31, 1999, the Corporation 
has expended $126,000 on its Y2K Plan and anticipates additional costs of 
approximately $50,000 to be incurred during 1999.  The cost of completing the 
Corporation's Y2K Plan and the dates on which all procedures will be 
completed are based on management's best estimates.  These estimates were 
derived utilizing various assumptions about future events, including the 
continued availability of resources, external technology modification plans 
and other significant factors.  However, there can be no guarantee that these 
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from 
those anticipated.    

     The Corporation 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.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings 

     The Corporation and persons to whom the Corporation may have 
     indemnification obligations in the normal course of business are 
     subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims 
     for monetary damages are asserted.  Management, after consultation 
     with legal counsel, does not at the present time anticipate the 
     ultimate aggregate liability, if any arising out of such lawsuits 
     will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial 
     position.  At the present time, management is not in a position to
     determine whether any pending or threatened litigation will have a 
     material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operation in 
     any future reporting period.
