                          F.F.O. FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  GENERAL.  In the opinion of the management of F.F.O. Financial Group, Inc. 
       (the "Company"), the accompan ying condensed consolidated financial
       statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal
       recurring accruals ) necessary to present fairly the financial position
       at June 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the three-month and
       six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the cash flows for the
       six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  These financial
       statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
       statements and notes thereto included in the Company's  Annual Report to
       Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The results of
       operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily
       indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the full year.

       F.F.O. Financial Group, Inc. is a Florida corporation organized in       
       1988 as a unitary savings and loan holding company.  The accompanying
       unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
       accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal
       Savings and Loan Association of Osceola County (the "Association"), and
       the Association's wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf American Financial
       Corporation.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
       been eliminated in consolidation.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE.  Earnings per share are computed by dividing net
       earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
       the period.  No adjustment has been made to give effect to the shares
       that would be outstanding, assuming the exercise of outstanding stock
       options, since the impact is deemed immaterial.

3.  LOAN IMPAIRMENT AND LOSSES.  On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted        
       Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 and 118 ("SFAS No.
       114 and 118").  These Statements address the accounting by creditors for
       impairment of certain loans.  The Statements generally require the
       Company to identify loans for which the Company probably will not receive
       full repayment of principal and interest, as impaired loans.  The
       Statements require that impaired loans be valued at the present value of
       expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest
       rate, or at the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of
       the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The
       Company has implemented the Statements by modifying its quarterly review
       of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to also identify and
       value impaired loans in accordance with guidance in the Statements.  The
       adoption of the Statements did not have any material effect on the
       results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 or 1995.

       The following summarizes the amounts of impaired loans, all of which
       were collateral-dependent, at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and
       the average net investment in impaired loans and interest income
       recognized and received on impaired loans during the three- and
       six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

5.  IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.   On January 1, 1996, the Company
       adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
       for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which establishes
       financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee
       compensation plans.  The Statement requires certain disclosures about
       stock-based compensation arrangements, regardless of the method used to
       account for them, and defines a fair value based method of accounting for
       an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all
       entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee
       stock compensation plans. However, SFAS No. 123 also allows an entity to
       continue to measure compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans
       using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion
       No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities electing to
       continue using the accounting method in APB Opinion No. 25 must make pro
       forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair
       value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. 
       Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant
       date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service
       period, which is usually the vesting period.  Under the intrinsic value
       method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market
       price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the
       amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  The Company elected to
       continue to utilize the intrinsic value method of accounting defined in
       APB Opinion No. 25.  The adoption of SFAS No. 123 had no effect on the
       Company's financial position at June 30, 1996 or results of operations
       for the six months then ended.  The pro forma disclosures required under
       SFAS No. 123, for stock options granted during 1995 and thereafter, are
       not required for interim condensed financial statements.

       On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, 
       an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" ("SFAS No. 122"), which requires
       mortgage banking enterprises that acquire mortgage servicing through
       either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sell or
       securitize those loans with servicing retained to allocate the total cost
       of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans
       based on their relative fair values.  Mortgage banking enterprises
       include commercial banks and thrift institutions that conduct operations
       substantially similar to the primary operations of a mortgage banking
       enterprise.  The adoption of SFAS No. 122 had no material effect on the
       Company's financial position at June 30, 1996 or results of operations
       for the six months then ended.

6.  FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.  In June 1996, the Financial Accounting
       Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
       125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
       Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125").  This Statement
       provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing
       of financial assets as well as extinguishments of liabilities.  This
       Statement also provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers
       of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
       borrowings.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
       financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
       December 31, 1996.  SFAS No. 125 will supercede SFAS No. 122, however,
       the major provisions of SFAS No. 122 are included in SFAS No. 125. 
       Management of the Company does not expect SFAS No. 125 to have a material
       effect on the Company's financial statements.

          REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
F.F.O. Financial Group, Inc.
St. Cloud, Florida:

    We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of F.F.O.
Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1996, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1996.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

    We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

    Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

    We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
February 2, 1996, except for Note 12, as to which the date was February 29,
1996, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated
in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

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


INTRODUCTION

F.F.O. Financial Group, Inc. (the "Holding Company") was incorporated in the
State of Florida on June 6, 1988.  On October 20, 1988, the Holding Company
became the unitary savings and loan holding company for First Federal Savings
and Loan Association of Osceola County (the "Association") (together, the
"Company").  The Holding Company's operations are limited to ownership of its
subsidiary.

The Association is a federally chartered savings and loan association which
conducts business from its headquarters and main office in Kissimmee, Florida
and ten branch offices located in Central Florida.  It was founded in 1934 as a
mutual savings and loan association.  On October 20, 1988, the Association
converted to a federally chartered stock association. The Association's
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up
to applicable limits through the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").

The Association has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf American Financial
Corporation, which is currently inactive.

               COMPARISON OF JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of cash are from principal repayments on loans
and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from sales of loans and maturities of
investment securities, net deposit account inflows and proceeds from Federal
Home Bank advances.  During the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, proceeds
from loan sales were $14.2 million, proceeds from maturities of investment
securities were $10.0 million, net deposit account inflows were $13.8 million
and proceeds from Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $116.0 million.  Cash
was used primarily to fund net loan disbursements of $23.1 million and repay
Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $126.0 million.  At June 30, 1996, the
Company had approved commitments to fund $12.2 million of the undisbursed
portion of existing first mortgage loans, and to originate real estate loans of
$3.5 million.  It is expected that these commitments will be funded from the
sources described above.

The Association is required under federal regulations to maintain specified
levels of liquid investments, which include qualifying types of U.S. government
and federal agency securities, cash and other investments.  Current regulations
require the Association to maintain liquid assets of not less than 5% of its
average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short term
borrowings during the preceding calendar month; short-term liquid assets must
consist of not less than 1% of that amount.  These levels are established by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and are adjusted periodically to
reflect current conditions.  The Association has generally maintained liquidity
in excess of required levels.  The Association's average daily liquidity ratio
was 6.2% and its short-term liquidity ratio was 5.9% at June 30, 1996.

                                                                     (continued)

If an association is unable to comply with all of its regulatory capital
requirements, the OTS may take such actions as it deems appropriate to protect
the deposit insurance funds, the association, and its depositors.  Such actions
may include various operating restrictions, limitations on liability growth,
limitations on deposit account interest rates, and investment restrictions.  As
a means of limiting regulatory discretion to allow undercapitalized depository
institutions to remain in operation and thereby minimizing insurance fund
losses, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") requires the OTS and the other federal banking agencies to establish
a prompt regulatory action system pursuant to which banks and thrifts will be
classified, according to their capital levels, into five categories: well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

Under regulations adopted by the federal banking agencies to implement these
requirements, the Association met the capital requirements of a "well
capitalized" institution as of June 30, 1996.

The Association may not declare or pay cash dividends on its shares of Common
Stock (all of which are held by the Holding Company) without prior approval of
the OTS.

The FDIC recently established a new assessment rate schedule of 0 to 27 basis
points for Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") members.  Approximately 92% of BIF
members pay only the $2,000 per year legal minimum insurance premium.  The FDIC
retained the existing assessment rate schedule of 23 to 31 basis points
applicable to SAIF member institutions.  In announcing the rule, the FDIC noted
that the premium differential may have adverse consequences for SAIF members,
including reduced earnings and an impaired ability to raise funds in the
capital markets.  In addition, SAIF members, such as the Association, could be
placed at a disadvantage to BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and
deposits and the ability to achieve lower operating costs.  Legislation pending
in Congress would impose a one-time assessment of between 85 and 90 basis
points on the amount of deposits held by SAIF-member institutions, including
the Association, to recapitalize the SAIF fund.  If the assessment is made at
the proposed rate, the effect on the Association would be a pretax charge of
approximately $1,897,000 (0.85% on deposits of $223.2 million at March 31,
1995), or $1,186,000 after tax (37.5% assumed tax rate).  Should this occur,
the Holding Company does not expect to have to contribute capital to the
Association for it to remain a well-capitalized institution.

                                                                     (continued)

ASSET QUALITY

The Company is required by the OTS to classify its own assets and to establish
valuation allowances based in part on such classifications.  These
classifications are subject to review by the OTS examiners.  Management of the
Company reviews its loan, real estate owned and investment portfolios on a
quarterly basis, classifying those assets deemed appropriate and establishing
valuation allowances as appropriate.  In addition, the Company continues to
establish general loss allowances for unclassified loans based on its
historical loss experience.  An asset is classified substandard if it is
determined to involve a distinct possibility that the Company could sustain
some loss if deficiencies associated with the asset are not corrected.  An
asset is classified as doubtful if full collection is highly questionable or
improbable.  An asset is classified loss if it is considered uncollectible,
even if a partial recovery could be expected in the future.  If an asset is
classified substandard or doubtful pursuant to the Company's policies, or by
regulatory examiners, general allowances for losses may be established.  If an
asset is classified as loss, the Company is required to establish a specific
allowance in an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the asset classified
loss or it must charge off that amount.

Pursuant to applicable regulations, the OTS and the FDIC have the authority to
require the Association to increase its loss allowance if either agency
determines that the allowances are inadequate.  The estimation of appropriate
levels of loss allowances is a process that involves a high degree of
subjectivity, and the regulatory authorities may arrive at conclusions that
differ from management's regarding allowance levels.  The OTS last performed an
examination of the Association as of September 30, 1995.  The examination was
part of the OTS' routine supervision of the Association and included
evaluations of the Association's loan and real estate owned loss allowances.
Based upon the results of the OTS examination, management believes the
Association's policies and procedures for determination of loan and real estate
owned allowances are generally consistent with those used by the OTS in
determining the adequacy of the loss allowances maintained by thrift
institutions.  However, there is no assurance that the OTS will concur with
this assessment in future examinations.

thousands):

                      COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
Net earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were $578,000
compared to $796,000 for the 1995 period.  The decrease in net earnings for the
1996 period was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of
$240,000 and a decrease in noninterest income of $461,000, partially offset by
a decrease in noninterest expenses of $381,000.

The following table shows selected ratios for the periods ended or at the dates

         COMPARISON OF THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

INTEREST INCOME
For the three months ended June 30, 1996, total interest income was $5.4
million, an increase of $618,000 from the same period in 1995, due primarily to
a $573,000 increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities and a
$261,000 increase in interest on loans.  This was partially offset by a
decrease of $192,000 in interest income on investment securities.  The increase
in interest income on loans was primarily the result of an increase in average
loans outstanding from $179.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30,
1995 to $191.1 million for the comparable period in 1996, as well as an
increase in the average yield earned during the 1996 period.  The increase in
interest income on mortgage-backed securities was due to a $37.5 million
increase in the average balance outstanding partially offset by a decrease in
the average yield earned on those securities during the three months ended June
30, 1996 compared to the 1995 period.  The decrease in interest income on
investment securities was due to a reduction of $10.9 million in the average
balance outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
1995 period, as well as a reduction in the average yield earned from 6.51%
during the 1995 period to 6.07% during the 1996 period.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.9
million, an increase of $465,000 from the same period in 1995.  Interest
expense on deposits increased from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1995
to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 1996.  The increase was primarily due
to an increase of $41.5 million in the average deposits outstanding during the
1996 period.  The increase in interest expense on deposits was also the result
of an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, from 4.31% to 4.35% for
the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company did not record a provision  for loan losses for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to $30,000 for the same period in 1995.
Management of the Company monitors the loan portfolio on a regular basis and
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Management believes
that the allowance as of June 30, 1996 was adequate based on facts and
circumstances known to them at that time.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased
$102,000 or 15.3%, compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to a net
trading account loss of $145,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996
and the recording of $165,000 to reflect the unrealized loss on loans held for
sale at June 30, 1996.  The Company had a trading securities portfolio profit
of $58,000, and no unrealized losses on loans held for sale during the 1995
period.  Those decreases were partially offset by an increase of $286,000 in
other noninterest income due primarily to a refund of $312,000 related to a
1983 housing bond program.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Total noninterest expenses decreased by $241,000 or 9.9% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease
was primarily due to a gain of $243,000 on real estate operations in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to a loss of $254,000 in the same quarter of 1995,
partially offset by increases in employee compensation and benefits, occupancy
and equipment and other noninterest expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was $310,000
(an effective rate of 37.3%) compared to $174,000 (an effective rate of 34.1%)
for the 1995 period.

          COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

INTEREST INCOME
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, total interest income was $10.9
million, an increase of $1.1 million from the same period in 1995, due
primarily to an $1.1 million increase in interest income on mortgage-backed
securities and a $285,000 increase in interest on loans, partially offset by a
decrease of $244,000 in interest income on investment securities.  The increase
in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $12.2 million
increase in average loans outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared with the same 1995 period, partially offset by a decrease in average
yield earned during the period.  The increase in interest income on
mortgage-backed securities was due to a $35.7 million increase in the average
balance of those securities outstanding during the 1996 period.  Interest
income on investment securities decreased primarily due to a decrease in the
average balance outstanding, partially offset by an increase in the average
yield earned on those securities in 1996 compared to 1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $6.1 million,
an increase of $1.3 million or 28.4% from the same period in 1995.  Interest
expense on deposits increased from $4.6 million in the 1995 period to $5.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was due to an
increase of $40.7 million in the average balance of deposits outstanding during
1996 and an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, from 4.12% for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 to 4.41% for the 1996 period.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company's provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $150,000, compared to $171,000 for the same period in 1995.  Management of
the Company monitors the loan portfolio on a regular basis and evaluates the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Management believes that the
allowance as of June 30, 1996 was adequate based on facts and circumstances
known to them at that time.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased
$461,000 or 34.7%, compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to a net
trading account loss of $323,000 and unrealized losses of $276,000 on loans
held for sale for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996.  The Company had a
net trading profit of $163,000, and no unrealized loss on loans held for sale
during the comparable 1995 period.  Those decreases were partially offset by an
increase of $279,000 in other noninterest income, which was primarily due to a
$312,000 refund related to a 1983 housing bond program.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Total noninterest expenses decreased by $381,000 or 7.7% for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  That decrease
was due primarily to a gain on real estate operations of $210,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a loss on real estate operations of
$466,000 during the 1995 period, partially offset by increases in legal and
professional fees, occupancy and equipment, marketing and advertising and other
noninterest expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was $343,000
(an effective rate of 37.2%) compared to $424,000 (an effective rate of 34.8%)
for the 1995 period.
