Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

           Exhibit 11
           Exhibit 27


         This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These important
factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions both generally and
more specifically in the markets in which 1st United Bancorp ("Bancorp") and 1st
United Bank ("1st United") operate, competition for Bancorp's and 1st United's
customers from other providers of financial services, government legislation and
regulation (which changes from time to time and over which Bancorp and 1st
United have no control), changes in interest rates, the impact of Bancorp's
rapid growth, and other risks detailed in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and
in Bancorp's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of
which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of
Bancorp.

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information, 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 and nine months ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in 1st United
Bancorp's ("Bancorp") annual report on FORM 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 1995.

NOTE B - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

      At September 30, 1996, Bancorp's allowance for loan losses was
approximately $8.8 million. Although management believes the allowance for
possible losses is adequate, their evaluation of possible losses is a continuing
process which may necessitate adjustments to the allowance in future periods.

      The following summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan losses for
the period ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995:

NOTE C - INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

      Income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents represent the
potentially dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock
options. Average shares outstanding after the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 7,743,000
and 6,755,000, respectively, and for the quarter ended September 1996 and 1995
were 7,777,000 and 6,905,000, respectively.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

      Bancorp executed an acquisition agreement (the "Agreement") on July 29,
1996 to acquire Park Bankshares, Inc. ("Park") and its wholly owned subsidiary
First National Bank of Lake Park (First National").

      The Agreement calls for Bancorp to issue to Park shareholders up to a
maximum of $8.75 million in Bancorp Common Stock. The purchase price may
decrease depending on the value of Park's adjusted closing equity as defined in
the Agreement. The number of Bancorp Common Shares issued will also depend on
the average of the daily closing stock price of Bancorp Common Stock for the 20
days prior to closing as determined in the Agreement. If the computed average is
below $8.50 per share, then the stock will be valued at $8.50 per share,
correspondingly, if the stock price is above $11.50 per share, then the stock
will be valued at $11.50 per share. Management anticipates the acquisition will
be accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests" under generally accepted accounting
principles.

      Park operates out of four locations; its main office in Lake Park and a
branch in each of West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach and Jupiter, Florida. At June
30, 1996, Park had net loans, deposits, assets and shareholders' equity of
approximately $32.6 million, $62.1 million, $67.2 million and $4.2 million,
respectively.

      The anticipated completion of the acquisition is in the fourth quarter of
1996. The Agreement is subject to regulatory and Park shareholder approval and
satisfaction of other contingencies.

      On January 5, 1996, Bancorp acquired The American Bancorporation of the
South ("American") and merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, The American Bank of
the South, into 1st United. Consideration paid by Bancorp to the shareholders of
American was $10,017,000 and was paid in the form of 30% cash and 70% stock.
Approximately 820,000 shares of Bancorp common stock were issued in this
acquisition. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and approximately $3.5 million in goodwill was recorded and is being
amortized over 15 years under the straight-line method.

      Approximately $170 million in total assets were acquired. Included in this
total was approximately $20 million, $48 million, $77 million, $8 million and $5
million in fed funds, investments, gross loans, bank premises and equipment, and
other real estate, respectively. Included in loans were approximately $11
million in nonaccrual loans. Approximately $158 million in deposits, which
includes approximately 30% in non interest bearing demand deposits, were assumed
and sixteen (16) bank- owned branch locations throughout Brevard County were
acquired.

      To facilitate the acquisition of American, certain of the directors of
Bancorp and senior management of 1st United committed to loan Bancorp $2.5
million. On January 4, 1996 Bancorp borrowed approximately $2.2 million from
these individuals at a 10% annual interest rate, payable quarterly, with the
entire outstanding principal balance due in one year. Bancorp paid a 1%
commitment fee and 1% funding fee to these individuals and also had the option
of extending the maturity of these notes for five one-year terms. Bancorp repaid
these borrowings in full on May 1, 1996.

NN-PERFORMING ASSETS

      American had approximately $5.1 million in other real estate owned ("ORE")
and $11 million in non-performing loans. Included in ORE is a condominium
project in Cocoa Beach, Florida with a carrying value of approximately $3.0
million, representing 33 completed units and undeveloped land. Of the $16.1
million in non performing assets acquired, approximately $5.2 million of ORE has
been sold, $3.2 million in loans have been repaid and $2.4 million has been
returned to accrual in the first nine months of 1996. In addition, there are
contracts to sell another $.6 million in ORE of the former American. These
figures do not include the $2.3 million in FHA/VA government guaranteed loans
which were repurchased in the second quarter and subsequently sold in the third
quarter with no adverse effect on earnings. The repurchase resulted from the
sale of the mortgage servicing portfolio acquired from American which occurred
in May, 1996. Substantially all of the non-performing loans are secured by real
estate. Both the other real estate and non-performing loans are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value less costs of disposal. No significant writedowns
affecting ongoing earnings are anticipated by management in 1996 on American
nonaccrual loans or ORE.

      In addition to gross loans, on January 5, 1996 1st United added
approximately $2.6 million to its allowance for loan losses representing the
historical allowance for loan losses acquired from American. The allowance
represents approximately 3.4% of total loans acquired.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

      The significant variances noted below are substantially a result of
Bancorp's acquisitions (the "Acquisitions") of Jupiter Tequesta National Bank
("JTNB") in April, 1995 and The American Bancorporation of the South
("American") on January 5, 1996. Due to the Acquisitions, average assets for the
third quarter of 1996 increased $146 million to $448 million as compared to the
third quarter of 1995, the number of branches increased from 11 to 27, and
personnel increased from 160 full time equivalents to 270 full time equivalents.

      On April 14, 1995, Bancorp acquired JTNB, a one location national bank
headquartered in Tequesta, Florida, which had total assets, deposits and capital
of approximately $57 million, $53 million and $4 million, respectively. Bancorp
issued approximately 486,000 shares (value per share of $6.77 net of issuance
costs) of common stock and paid $3.4 million cash to the shareholders of JTNB.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
approximately $3.6 million in goodwill was recorded which is being amortized
over 15 years under the straight-line method.

      On January 5, 1996, Bancorp acquired American and merged its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The American Bank of the South, into 1st United. Consideration paid
by Bancorp to the shareholders of American was $10,017,000 and was paid in the
form of 30% cash and 70% stock. Approximately 820,000 shares of Bancorp common
stock were issued in this Acquisition. This Acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting and approximately $3.5 million in goodwill was
recorded and is being amortized over 15 years under the straight-line method.

      Approximately $160 million in total assets were acquired from American
including $20 million, $48 million, $77 million, $8 million and $5 million in
fed funds, investments, gross loans, bank premises and equipment, and other real
estate, respectively. Included in loans were approximately $11 million in
nonaccrual loans. Approximately $157 million in deposits, which includes
approximately 30% in non interest bearing demand deposits, were acquired along
with sixteen(16) bank-owned branch locations throughout Brevard County.

NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

      Bancorp's results of operations depend, to a large extent, on the level of
its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it
receives on its interest-earning assets and the interest expense it pays on its
interest-bearing liabilities.

      For the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $10
thousand and $39 thousand, respectively, were charged against normal operations
for the provision for loan losses.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>


      Net interest income after provision for loan losses in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 increased to $6.706 million from $4.888 million for the same
period in 1995. This 37% increase is primarily due to the Acquisitions which
resulted in average earning assets increasing from $280 million in 1995 to $398
million in 1996. The net interest margin on earning assets for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 decreased to 6.75% as compared to 7.05% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. This difference was primarily a result of the difference in
the asset mix between these quarters. During the third quarter of 1995 the loan
to deposit ratio was 90% and due to the Acquisitions, this ratio decreased to
84% during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

OTHER INCOME

      Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$1.474 million - an increase of $573 thousand or 64%, over non-interest income
for the same period in 1995. This increase was primarily a result of service
charges on deposits which increased $474 thousand (111%) to $901 thousand in
1996. This increase was primarily due to the Acquisitions, resulting in average
deposits increasing $132 million in 1996 compared to 1995. Gain on sale of loans
increased $134 thousand (141%) to $229 thousand due to an increase in total SBA
guaranteed loans sold.

OTHER EXPENSES

      Non-interest expenses increased $1.546 million (40%) to $5.389 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995. Due to the Acquisitions, Bancorp grew approximately 80% in assets and
added 17 branches resulting in increases in expenses. Specifically, Bancorp had
the following increases in individual expense categories: salaries and employee
benefits $729 thousand (43%), occupancy and furniture and equipment $230
thousand (30%), stationary, printing and supplies $20 thousand (20%), insurance
$23 thousand (35%), miscellaneous taxes $13 thousand (41%), telephone $61
thousand (84%), postage $26 thousand (49%), goodwill amortization $83 thousand
(115%), and advertising and public relations $48 thousand (112%). Goodwill
amortization in 1996 includes amortization of the American Acquisition ($75
thousand) not present in 1995. Other miscellaneous expenses increased $313
thousand (33%) from 1995. Included in other miscellaneous expense for 1996 are
$80 thousand costs associated with the acquisition of Park.

      Bancorp experienced a reduction in FDIC insurance expense of $80 thousand
(100%) from the prior period as a result of new assessment rates set by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

INCOME TAXES

      Total provision for income taxes of $1.020 million and $714 thousand for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, was computed
using the statutory federal and state income tax rates.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

      During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $70
thousand and $132 thousand, respectively, were charged against operations for
the provision for loan losses.

      Net interest income after provision for loan losses in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 increased to $19.532 million from $13.617 million for
the same period in 1995. This 43% increase is primarily due to the increase in
average earning assets in 1996 compared to 1995. Average earning assets
increased from $266 million to $399 million or 50% due to the Acquisitions.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>


OTHER INCOME

      Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$5.273 million - an increase of $2.928 million or 125%, over non-interest income
for the same period in 1995. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$1.576 million (133%) to $2.762 million in 1996. Miscellaneous other income
increased $627 thousand (82%) to $1.395 million in 1996. These increases are
primarily attributable to the Acquisitions, which substantially increased the
deposit and loan base of Bancorp. Gain on sale of loans increased $347 thousand
(170%) to $551 thousand due to an increase in the volume of SBA loans being
originated and sold during the period ended September 30, 1996. During the
second quarter of 1996, Bancorp sold its merchant credit card accounts to the
company that has processed these accounts for the prior two years. A gain of
approximately $385 thousand was recorded in this period due to this sale. The
effect of this sale on the ongoing operations of the Company is to reduce future
net earnings by less than $10 thousand per quarter.

OTHER EXPENSE

      Non-interest expenses increased $5.567 million (51%) to $16.467 million in
1996. Due to the Acquisitions, Bancorp grew approximately 80% in assets and
added 17 branches resulting in these increases. Specifically, Bancorp had the
following increases in individual expense categories: salaries and employee
benefits $2.863 million (60%), occupancy and furniture and equipment $1.001
million (46%), stationary, printing and supplies $141 thousand (58%),
professional fees $25 thousand (4%), insurance $69 thousand (43%), other real
estate $18 thousand (5%), miscellaneous taxes $57 thousand (59%), telephone $188
thousand (87%), postage $126 thousand (91%), goodwill amortization $290 thousand
(166%), advertising and public relations $214 thousand (126%) and miscellaneous
other expenses $952 thousand (68%). Goodwill amortization in 1996 includes
amortization of the JTNB ($59 thousand) and American ($225 thousand)
acquisitions not present in 1995.

      Bancorp experienced a reduction in FDIC insurance expense of $377 thousand
in the period as a result of new assessment rates set by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.

INCOME TAXES

      Total provision for income taxes of $3.070 million and $1.845 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, was computed
using the statutory federal and state income tax rates.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

      Bancorp's total assets, deposits and capital increased $139.5 million
(45%), $120.8 million (45%) and $10.8 million (32%), respectively, during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. These increases are primarily the result
of the acquisition of American on January 5, 1996. On the acquisition date,
American had cash and federal funds sold of $31.0 million, securities of $48.5
million, and deposits of $157.9 million.

LIQUIDITY

      The total of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, Bancorp's
primary source of liquidity, decreased $1.7 million for the period - $25.0
million at September 30, 1996 compared to $26.6 million at December 31, 1995.
The second source of liquidity is Bancorp's investment securities of $50.8
million at September 30, 1996 which increased $17.5 million during the period
primarily as a result of the acquisition of American.

      An additional external source of liquidity is two unsecured federal funds
lines of credit that 1st United Bank has established with two of its
correspondent banks totaling $12 million. In addition, 1st United Bank has
entered into a master repurchase agreement with the two financial institutions.
1st United Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank and has a
borrowing capability of approximately $45 million under a blanket security
agreement.

      At September 30, 1996, cash and due from banks, short-term investments
(due within one year), and federal funds sold totaled $33.1 million versus
potentially volatile liabilities (C.D.'s of $100,000 or more, Federal Funds
purchased and public funds) of $26.4 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At September 30, 1996, Bancorp had total shareholders' equity of $44.8
million, an increase of $10.8 million over that of December 31, 1995. This
increase was the result of net income through September 30, 1996 of $5.268
million, declaration of $805 thousand cash in dividends, an increase in
unrealized loss in available for sale securities of $36 thousand and issuance of
stock related to the American purchase resulting in $6.371 million in additional
equity.

      Dividends per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $.11
per share compared to $.14 per share in 1995. During the first quarter of 1995,
the Company paid an annual dividend of $.08 per share. Subsequent to March 31,
1995, the Company began quarterly dividends. As a result, the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 include an annual dividend of $.08 and the Company's first
and second quarter dividends of $.03 each. Dividends for the period ended
September 30, 1996 included the first quarter, second and third quarter 1996
dividends of $.03 and $.04 and $.04, respectively.

      Approximately $4.053 million in non-performing loans and $3.854 million in
other real estate owned at September 30, 1996 was acquired in the American
acquisition on January 5, 1996. Since the acquisition of American, approximately
$10.8 million in non-performing loans and other real estate was sold, returned
to earning status or repaid.

      Management has developed an internal system for evaluating and grading
loans on a quarterly basis. Watch list assets are those loans that have been
graded substandard or worse by management, regulators, or the independent loan
review consultant, due to potential weaknesses in the borrowers' ability to
repay the loans, weaknesses in collateral, the borrowers' financial condition or
