                         _________________


The Trustees
BancFlorida Financial Corporation
 Employee Thrift Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available 
for benefits of BancFlorida Financial Corporation Employee Thrift Plan 
as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of 
changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the 
three-year period ended September 30, 1993.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well 
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of 
BancFlorida Financial Corporation Employee Thrift Plan at 
September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available 
for benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended 
September 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of 
reportable transactions and assets held for investment are presented 
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required 
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and 
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, 
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to 
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         EMPLOYEE THRIFT PLAN

                     Notes to Financial Statements

                      September 30, 1993 and 1992



(1) Accounting Principles

The accounts of the BancFlorida Financial Corporation Employee Thrift Plan 
(Plan) are maintained on an accrual basis.  Assets of the Plan are valued at 
current market value.

  (a) Investment in Securities

      All investments in securities are comprised of BancFlorida Financial 
      Corporation (BFL or BancFlorida) common stock which is traded on a 
      national securities exchange.  The shares are valued at average cost in 
      determining the cost of securities sold and reported at market value at 
      September 30, 1993 and 1992.

  (b) Expenses

      All expenses are paid by the Plan.  


(2) Description of Plan

    The following is a general description of the Plan and provides only 
    general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement 
    for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    (a) General

        The Plan which was effective July 1, 1983, is a defined contribution 
        plan covering substantially all full-time employees of BFL and its 
        subsidiaries which have adopted the plan who have one year of service.
        It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income 
        Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    (b) Contributions

        An employee becomes a participant by electing to contribute a 
        minimum of 2% to a maximum of 5% of gross pay on a pre-tax basis to 
        the Plan.  Each year, BFL has the option to contribute an amount not in 
        excess of the amount of contributions by each of its participating 
        employees, but in no event greater than 5% of each such individual 
        employee's compensation for the Plan year.

    (c) Participant Accounts

        Effective October 1, 1985, the Plan was amended to allow  participants 
        to invest in one or both of the following funds:

           (bullet) Short-Term Fund - interest-bearing, short-term investments
           (bullet) Common Stock Fund - common stock of BancFlorida Financial 
                    Corporation

                                                                   (Continued)

                          EMPLOYEE THRIFT PLAN

                     Notes to Financial Statements



Effective October 1, 1990, the Plan was amended to allow the employer 
matching contribution to be invested in the same proportion as the 
employees allocate their contribution.

Effective April 1, 1992, the Plan was amended to allow participants to 
invest in one or both of the following additional funds:

  (bullet) Growth/Value Fund
  (bullet) Intermediate Bond Fund

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's 
contribution and an allocation of (a) the Company's contribution, (b) 
plan earnings, and (c) forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested 
accounts.  Allocations are based on participant contributions or account 
balances, as defined.  At September 30, 1993, there were 440 
participants in the Plan.

Employee contributions invested in the Short-Term Fund and Common 
Stock Fund earned an average rate of return or (declined) approximately 
3% and 145%, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 1993; 
approximately 5% and 173%, respectively, for the year ended September 
30, 1992; and approximately 7% and (22)%, respectively, for the year 
ended September 30, 1991.

Employee contributions invested in the Growth/Value Fund and the 
Intermediate Bond Fund earned a rate of return of approximately 15% 
and 11%, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 1993; and 
approximately 2% and 3%, respectively, for the year ended September 
30, 1992.

    (d) Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions 
plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the remainder of their 
accounts is based on years of service.  A participant is 100% vested 
after five years of credited service.  Aggregate forfeitures amount to 
1,402 and 1,214 shares of BancFlorida Financial Corporation common 
stock for the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    (e) Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive a lump-
sum distribution equal to the vested value of their account or if the 
participant's vested interest is more than $3,700, the participant may 
elect to receive the lump-sum distribution at the end of the Plan year 
following their sixty-fifth birthday.  In the event a participant dies 
prior to commencement of their distribution, their vested interest will 
be distributed to their beneficiary.

A participant may withdraw an amount not in excess of their account 
balance derived from their contributions at any time on one month's 
notice solely for the purpose of (i) making a down payment on a 
principal residence, (ii) paying college expenses for their family 
member, or (iii) paying unreimbursed medical or dental expenses.  The 
Administrator determines whether to allow such financial hardship 
withdrawals on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis.

             Notes to Financial Statements



    (f) Trustee

Thrift Plan assets are held in a trust and are invested by the trustee, 
National Bank of Detroit, Trust Division.

    (g) Termination Provision

BancFlorida expects to continue this Plan indefinitely, but is not 
contractually obligated to do so.  Although it has not expressed any 
intent to do so, BancFlorida has the right under the Plan to discontinue 
its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the 
provisions of ERISA.  In the event of plan termination, participants will 
become 100% vested in their accounts, and any unallocated funds will 
be allocated among all participants on the same basis as BancFlorida 
contributions.

    (h) Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1991 financial statements have been 
reclassified so as to conform to the 1993 presentation.


    (3) Income Tax Status

BancFlorida Financial Corporation Employee Thrift Plan has received a 
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service substantiating that 
the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and the 
trust is exempt under Section 501(a); as such, the Plan is exempt from 
federal income tax, and amounts contributed by BancFlorida, F.S.B., a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of BFL, are not taxed to the employee until a 
distribution from the Plan is received.


    (4) Short-Term Investments

The fair value of the short-term investments which are held in trust and 
which are administered by the trustee are as follows:

                                                      Fair Value 
           Investment account                      1993        1992

             Notes to Financial Statements




    (5) Transfer from Related Trust

During 1993, participants of the Plan who also participate in another 
benefit trust of BFL were allowed to transfer plan assets from the related 
trust to the Plan.  The plan assets of the related trust were transferred to 
the Plan at their fair value at the date of transfer.


    (6) Reconciliation to IRS Form 5500

The following represents a reconciliation of net assets as reported on IRS 
Form 5500 to that presented in the accompanying financial statements:

                                                   1993           1992
     Net assets per IRS Form 5500           $ 5,772,407      2,889,400
     Benefits payable                            --            158,537
       Net assets per accompanying 
         financial statements               $ 5,772,407      3,047,937

As mentioned in note 2(h), during 1993, the Plan has classified benefits 
payable to individuals separated from service as a component of net assets 
available for plan benefits.  Consequently, corresponding amounts in the 
previously issued 1992 and 1991 financial statements have been 
reclassified so to conform with current year presentations.


    (7) Subsequent Event

On January 17, 1994, BFL entered into an agreement and plan of merger with 
First Union Corporation.  The agreement and plan of merger provides for the 
merger of BFL into the First Union National Bank of Florida.  The effect on 
the Plan of this agreement and plan of merger is unknown at this time.  
With regulatory approval of the agreement and plan of merger, the plan 
assets of the Plan will be transferred to the plan assets of the First Union 
Savings Plan.  The plan assets of the plan will be transferred at their fair 
value at the date of transfer.
