        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of  Presentation. 
     In the opinion of the management of FFLC Bancorp,  Inc.,  the  accompanying
     condensed   consolidated   financial  statements  contain  all  adjustments
     (consisting of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly the
     financial position at March 31, 1997 and the results of operations and cash
     flows  for the  three-month  periods  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996.  The
     results of operations and other data for the three-month period ended March
     31, 1997,  are not  necessarily  indicative of results that may be expected
     for the year ending December 31, 1997.

     The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
     FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
     First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Savings  Bank")  (together,
     the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

2.  Loan Impairment and Loan Losses.  
     The Company  prepares a 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 of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 114
     and 118. No impaired loans were  identified by the Company during the three
     months ended March 31, 1997 or 1996.

     An analysis of the change in the  allowance  for loan losses was as follows
     (in thousands):

3.  Impact of New Accounting  Issues.
     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"). That Statement provides  accounting and reporting  standards for
     transfers  and  servicing  of  financial  assets  and   extinguishments  of
     liabilities.   That  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 as well as  extinguishments  of  liabilities
     occurring in 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no  significant  effect
     on the  Company's  financial  position  at  March  31,  1997 or  result  of
     operations for the three months then ended.

4.  Per Share Amounts. 
     Income per share of common stock has been determined by dividing net income
     for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Shares
     of common  stock  purchased  by the ESOP and RRP  incentive  plans are only
     considered  outstanding  when the shares are  released  for  allocation  to
     participants.  Stock options are regarded as common stock  equivalents  and
     are therefore considered in both primary and fully diluted income per share
     calculations.  Common stock  equivalents  are  computed  using the treasury
     stock method.  The following  table presents the  calculation of income per
     share:

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General
    FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") was formed as the holding company
    for First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Savings Bank") (together
    the  "Company")  in connection  with the Savings  Bank's  conversion  from a
    federally  chartered  mutual  savings  and loan  association  to a federally
    chartered stock savings bank on January 4, 1994. The Company's  consolidated
    results of operations are primarily those of the Savings Bank.

    The Savings  Bank's  principal  business  continues to be attracting  retail
    deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with
    principal  repayments  on loans and  investments  and funds  generated  from
    operations,  primarily  in  mortgage  loans  secured  by  one-to-four-family
    owner-occupied  homes,  mortgage-backed  securities and, to a lesser extent,
    construction loans,  consumer and other loans, and multi-family  residential
    mortgage  loans.  In the  first  quarter  of 1997,  the Bank  established  a
    commercial lending  department  staffed with three lenders  experienced with
    commercial  lending  in  the  Bank's  local  community.  The  focus  of  the
    commercial  lending  department will be to originate  commercial real estate
    loans  and  commercial  business  loans,  to  include  equipment,   accounts
    receivable  and  inventory  loans.  In  addition,  the  Savings  Bank  holds
    investments  permitted by federal laws and regulations  including securities
    issued by the U.S.  Government  and  agencies  thereof.  The Savings  Bank's
    revenues are derived  principally  from  interest on its  mortgage  loan and
    mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios  and interest  and  dividends on its
    investment securities. The Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
    Bank ("FHLB")  system and its deposits are insured to the applicable  limits
    by the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal  Deposit
    Insurance   Corporation  (the  "FDIC").  The  Savings  Bank  is  subject  to
    regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") as its chartering
    agency, and the FDIC as its deposit insurer.

    The Savings Bank has 9 full-service  locations in Lake and Sumter  Counties,
    Florida.

    The Savings  Bank's  results of operations  are  dependent  primarily on net
    interest income,  which is the difference between the interest income earned
    primarily  on  its  loans  and  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities
    portfolios,  and its cost of funds,  consisting  of the interest paid on its
    deposits  and  borrowings.  The Savings  Bank's  operating  results are also
    affected,  to a lesser  extent,  by fee income and by gains or losses on the
    sale of loans, investment and mortgage-backed  securities available for sale
    and foreclosed real estate.  The Savings Bank's  operating  expenses consist
    primarily of employee  compensation,  occupancy expenses,  deposit insurance
    premiums and other general and administrative  expenses.  The Savings Bank's
    results of operations are also  significantly  affected by general  economic
    and competitive  conditions,  particularly changes in market interest rates,
    government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
    The  Company's  most liquid  assets are cash,  amounts  due from  depository
    institutions and interest-bearing  deposits.  The levels of these assets are
    dependent  on the  Company's  lending,  investing,  operating,  and  deposit
    activities  during any given period.  At March 31, 1997,  cash,  amounts due
    from depository  institutions and interest-bearing  deposits,  totaled $10.0
    million.

    The  Savings  Bank is  required  to  maintain  an average  daily  balance of
    specified  liquid  assets  equal to a  monthly  average  of not less  than a
    specified   percentage  of  its  net  withdrawable   deposit  accounts  plus
    short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement is currently 5% but may be
    changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to
    10%  depending  upon  economic  conditions  and the savings  flows of member
    institutions.  OTS regulations also require each member savings  institution
    to  maintain  an average  daily  balance of  short-term  liquid  assets at a
    specified  percentage  (currently  1%) of the total of its net  withdrawable
    deposits and borrowed funds payable in one year or less.  Monetary penalties
    may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity requirements. The Savings
    Bank's  liquidity and  short-term  liquidity  ratios for March 31, 1997 were
    13.2% and 3.4%, respectively,  which exceeded the requirements.  The Savings
    Bank has never been  subject to monetary  penalties  for failure to meet its
    liquidity requirements.

    The Savings Bank's primary  sources of funds include  proceeds from payments
    and  prepayments  on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  proceeds  from
    maturities  of  investment  securities,  and  increases in  deposits.  While
    maturities  and  scheduled   amortization  of  loans,   mortgage-backed  and
    investment  securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and
    mortgage and mortgage-backed  securities  prepayments are greatly influenced
    by local conditions, general interest rates, and regulatory changes.

    At March 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
    $7.4  million  of loans  and to fund  the  undisbursed  portion  of loans in
    process of  approximately  $9.0  million.  The Savings Bank believes that it
    will have sufficient funds available to meet its  commitments.  At March 31,
    1997,  certificates of deposit which were scheduled to mature in one year or
    less totaled $138.3 million.  Management believes, based on past experience,
    that a significant portion of those funds will remain with the Savings Bank.

    The  Savings  Bank is  subject  to various  regulatory  capital  requirement
    administered  by the  federal  banking  agencies.  Failure  to meet  minimum
    capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory- and possibly additional
    discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
    material  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  statements.  Under  capital
    adequacy  guidelines  and the  regulatory  framework  for prompt  corrective
    action,  the Savings Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
    quantitative measures of the Savings Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
    off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
    The Savings Bank's capital  amounts and  classification  are also subject to
    qualitative judgements by the regulators about components,  risk weightings,
    and other factors.

    Quantitative  measures  established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
    require the Savings Bank to maintain minimum amounts (set forth in the table
    below)  of total and Tier I  capital  (as  defined  in the  regulations)  to
<PAGE>
                               FFLC BANCORP, INC. 

    risk-weighted  assets (as  defined).  Management  believes,  as of March 31,
    1997, that the Savings Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
    it is subject.

    As of March 31, 1997, the most recent  notification from the OTS categorized
    the Savings Bank as well  capitalized  under the  regulatory  framework  for
    prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Savings
    Bank must maintain minimum tangible,  Tier I (core), Tier I (risk-based) and
    total  risk-based  capital  ratios as set forth in the  table.  There are no
    conditions or events since that notification  that management  believes have
    changed the institution's category.

Change in Financial Condition
   Total assets increased $12.1 million or 3.5%, from $346.4 million at December
   31, 1996 to $358.5  million at March 31,  1997,  primarily  as a result of an
   increase in loans  receivable of $16.0 million,  partially offset by decrease
   in  mortgage-backed  securities of $6.3 million.  Customer deposits increased
   $8.7  million from $282.7  million at December 31, 1996 to $291.4  million at
   March 31, 1997. The $1.7 million net decrease in stockholders'  equity during
   the three months ended March 31, 1997 resulted from the repurchases of shares

       Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996


Results of Operations

General Operating Results. Net income for the three-month period ended March 31,
    1997 was  $973,000,  or $.40 per share,  compared to  $811,000,  or $.31 per
    share,  for the 1996  period.  The increase in net income  resulted  from an
    increase in net interest income of $313,000, partially offset by an increase
    in  noninterest  expense  of  $68,000  and an  increase  of  $54,000  in the
    provision for loan losses.

Interest Income.  Interest income increased $537,000,  or 9.0% from $5.9 million
    for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1996 to $6.5  million for the
    three-month  period  ended March 31,  1997.  The increase was due to a $22.2
    million increase in average  interest-earning  assets outstanding during the
    three-month period ended March 31, 1997,  compared to the 1996 period, and a
    14 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from
    7.52% for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1996,  to 7.66% for the
    three-month period ended March 31, 1997.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $224,000 or 7.0%, from $3.2 million
    for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1996 to $3.4  million for the
    three-month  period  ended March 31,  1997.  The increase was due to a $26.1
    million  increase in average  interest-bearing  liabilities of $26.1 million
    partially  offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the weighted  average rate
    paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities  from 4.79% during the 1996 period to
    4.67% during the 1997 period.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased by $68,000, or 4.4% from the
    three-month  period  ended March 31, 1996 to the  three-month  period  ended
    March 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and
    employee  benefits of  $99,000,  other  noninterest  expenses of $28,000 and
    occupancy  expense of $24,000  related to the overall growth of the Company.
    Those  increases  were  partially  offset by a $116,000  decrease in deposit
    insurance  premiums of $116,000 due to a decrease in the assessment  rate on
    deposits from 23.0 cents per $100 in 1996 to 6.48 cents per $100 in 1997.

Income Tax Provision.  The income tax provision  increased from $525,000 for the
    three-month  period ended March 31, 1996 (an effective tax rate of 39.3%) to
    $570,000 (an  effective tax rate of 36.9%) for the  corresponding  period in
    1997.
