        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, 2000 and the results
        of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31,
        2000  and  1999.  The  results  of  operations  and  other  data for the
        three-month period ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily  indicative
        of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

        The condensed  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
        FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), its wholly-owned subsidiary,
        First  Federal  Savings  Bank of Lake County (the "Bank") and the Bank's
        wholly-owned subsidiary,  Lake County Service Corporation (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 Nos. 114 and 118.

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

        No impaired loans were identified by the Company during the three months

3.      Per Share  Amounts.  Basic  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.  Dilutive income per
        share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average  number
        of shares  outstanding  including  the dilutive  effect of stock options
        computed using the treasury stock method.  The following  table presents
        the calculation of basic and diluted income per share:

          Report on Review by Independent Certified Public Accountants



The Board of Directors
FFLC Bancorp, Inc.
Leesburg, Florida:

     We have reviewed the accompanying  condensed  consolidated balance sheet of
FFLC Bancorp,  Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of March 31, 2000, and the
related  condensed  consolidated  statements  of income  and cash  flows for the
three-month   periods  ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999,   and  the  condensed
consolidated  statement of changes in  stockholders'  equity for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000. 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,  1999,  and the
related consolidated  statements of income,  changes in stockholders' equity and
cash  flows for the year then ended (not  presented  herein);  and in our report
dated January 14, 2000 we 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, 1999, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

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


General

      FFLC  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Holding  Company") is the holding  company for
      First   Federal   Savings  Bank  of  Lake  County  (the  "Bank")  and  its
      wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Lake County Service Corporation (together,  the
      "Company"). The Company's consolidated results of operations are primarily
      those of the Bank.

      The 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,  commercial  loans,  securities  and,  to a  lesser
      extent,  construction  loans,  consumer and other loans,  and multi-family
      residential  mortgage  loans.  In  addition,  the Bank  holds  investments
      permitted by federal laws and regulations  including  securities issued by
      the U.S.  Government  and agencies  thereof.  The  Company's  revenues are
      derived   principally  from  interest  on  its  loan  and  mortgage-backed
      securities  portfolios  and  interest  and  dividends  on  its  investment
      securities.  The 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 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  Bank  has 12  full-service  locations  in  Lake,  Sumter  and  Citrus
      Counties, Florida.

      The  Company's  results  of  operations  are  dependent  primarily  on net
      interest  income,  which is the  difference  between the  interest  income
      earned  primarily on its loan and securities  portfolios,  and its cost of
      funds, consisting of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. The
      Company's operating results are also affected,  to a lesser extent, by fee
      income. The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and
      employee  benefits,  occupancy  expenses,  deposit insurance  premiums and
      other  general  and  administrative  expenses.  The  Company'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, 2000, cash,  amounts due
      from depository institutions and interest-bearing  deposits, totaled $17.9
      million.

      The 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 4% 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.  Monetary  penalties may be imposed for failure to meet this
      liquidity  requirement.  The  Bank's  liquidity  ratio at March  31,  2000
      exceeded the requirement.

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

      At March 31, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $11.4
      million of loans and to fund the  undisbursed  portion of loans in process
      of  approximately  $17.5  million  and  undisbursed  lines  of  credit  of
      approximately  $37.6  million.   The  Bank  believes  that  it  will  have
      sufficient  funds  available to meet its  commitments.  At March 31, 2000,
      certificates of deposit which were scheduled to mature in one year or less
      totaled $219.8 million.  Management  believes,  based on past  experience,
      that a significant portion of those funds will remain with the Bank.

      The 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 Bank must meet specific  capital  guidelines that
      involve  quantitative  measures  of the Bank's  assets,  liabilities,  and
      certain  off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
      practices.  The 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 Bank to  maintain  minimum  amounts  (set  forth in the table
      below) of total and Tier I capital  (as  defined  in the  regulations)  to
      risk-weighted assets (as defined).  Management  believes,  as of March 31,
      2000, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
      subject.

      As  of  March  31,  2000,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  OTS
      categorized the Bank as well  capitalized  under the regulatory  framework
      for prompt corrective  action. To be categorized as well capitalized,  the
      Bank must maintain minimum  tangible,  Tier I (core),  Tier I (risk-based)
      and total risk-based capital  percentages as set forth in the table. There
      are no  conditions  or events  since  that  notification  that  management
      believes have changed the institution's category.

      The Bank's actual  capital  amounts and  percentages at March 31, 2000 are
      also presented in the table.

Change in Financial Condition

Total assets  increased  $16.8 million or 2.8%,  from $590.4 million at December
31,  1999 to $607.2  million  at March  31,  2000,  primarily  as a result of an
increase in loans receivable of $32.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in
cash and cash  equivalents of $16.5 million.  Deposits  increased  $18.0 million

<PAGE>

from $429.3  million at December  31, 1999 to $447.3  million at March 31, 2000.
The $1.1 million net  increase in  stockholders  equity  during the three months
ended March 31, 2000 resulted from net income of $1.3 million, credits to equity
totaling  $183,000 related to the stock incentive plans and proceeds of $127,000
from stock options  exercised  and shares  issued under the  Company's  Dividend
Reinvestment  Plan,  partially  offset by repurchases of the Company"s  stock of
$78,000,  dividends paid of $431,000 and a $23,000 decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).

          Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Results of Operations

General Operating Results. Net income for the three-month period ended March 31,
   2000 was $1.3  million  compared  to $1.7  million  for the  comparable  1999
   period. Net income for the 1999 period included a gain on sale of real estate
   held for development of $886,000  ($553,000,  net of tax). Without this gain,
   net income for 2000  increased  $136,000 or 11.5% when  compared to 1999.  An
   increase in net interest income of $622,000,  partially  offset by a $382,000
   increase in  noninterest  expense  contributed  to the increase in net income
   excluding the gain.

Interest Income.  Interest income  increased $2.3 million,  or 25.6%,  from $8.9
   million for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1999 to $11.1 million for
   the three-month period ended March 31, 2000. The increase was due to a $113.5
   million   increase  in  the  average  balance  of   interest-earning   assets
   outstanding during the three-month  period ended March 31, 2000,  compared to
   the 1999  period and an increase  in the  average  yield on  interest-earning
   assets from 7.76% for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1999, to 7.81%
   for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense  increased $1.6 million or 34.7%,  from $4.7
   million for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1999 to $6.4 million for
   the  three-month  period  ended  March  31,  2000.  The  increase  was due to
   increases of $78.7 million and $34.6 million in average deposits and borrowed
   funds  outstanding,  respectively.  Average  deposits  increased  from $344.6
   million  outstanding  during the three  months ended March 31, 1999 to $423.3
   million  outstanding  during the comparable period for 2000. Average borrowed
   funds increased from $62.3 million  outstanding during the three months ended
   March 31, 1999 to $96.9  million  outstanding  during the three  months ended
   March 31, 2000.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest  income for the three-month  period ended March
   31, 1999 exceeded  noninterest  income for the three-month period ended March
   31, 2000  mainly due to the gain on sale of real estate held for  development
   recognized during 1999.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest  expense increased by $382,000,  or 16.1% from
   the three-month  period ended March 31, 1999 to the three-month  period ended
   March 31, 2000.  The increase was  primarily due to increases in salaries and
   employee  benefits  of  $208,000,  occupancy  expense  of  $87,000  and  data
   processing expense of $84,000 related to the overall growth of the Company.

Income Tax Provision.  The income tax provision  decreased from $1.1 million (an
   effective tax rate of 38.5%) for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1999
   to $855,000 (an effective tax rate of 39.4%) for the corresponding  period in
   2000.


                                Year 2000 Issues

The Company's  operating and financial  systems have been found to be compliant;
the "Y2K Problem" has not adversely  affected the Company's  operations nor does
management expect that it will.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.
The Company"s  market risk arises  primarily from interest rate risk inherent in
its  lending and deposit  taking  activities.  The Company has little or no risk
related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign exchange.

Management  actively  monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.  The
primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to limit, within established
guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company"s net
interest  income and capital,  while  adjusting  the  Company"s  asset-liability
structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure.  Management
relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk.
However,  a sudden and  substantial  increase in interest rates could  adversely
impact the Company"s  earnings,  to the extent that the interest  rates borne by
assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed,  to the same extent,  or
on the same basis.  There has been no significant change in the Company"s market
risk exposure since December 31, 1999.
