1.  GENERAL. In the opinion of the management, the accompanying condensed
      consolidated financial statements of Gulf West Banks, Inc. and
      Subsidiaries (the "Company") contain all adjustments (consisting
      principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
      financial position at June 30, 1999, and the results of operations for the
      three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the
      cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The
      results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 are
      not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
      year.

2. LOAN IMPAIRMENT AND LOSSES. The Company had no impaired loans at June
      30, 1999 or at June 30, 1998.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS"). The following is a reconciliation of the
      numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share
      computations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 options to
      purchase 2,200 shares of common stock at $11.82 a share issued in 1998,
      and for the three months ended June 30, 1999, options to purchase 186,000
      shares of common stock of $8.38 a share issued in 1999 were not included
      in the computation of diluted Earnings Per Share because the options
      exercise price was not less than the average market price of the common
      shares. These options expire on June 17, 2008 and April 15, 2009,
      respectively (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts). All per
      share amounts reflect the 10% stock dividend declared January 15, 1998 and
      the 10% stock dividend declared on November 19, 1998.

accountants, have made a limited review of the financial data as of June 30,
1999, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

          REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors
Gulf West Banks, Inc.
St. Petersburg, Florida:

    We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gulf West
Banks, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1999, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999. 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, 1998, 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 January
15, 1999 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, 1998, 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

GENERAL

Gulf West Banks, Inc. ("Gulf West" or the "Company") is a one-bank holding
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida effective October 24,
1994. Gulf West's principal assets are all of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of Mercantile Bank, a Florida state banking corporation which
is located in St. Petersburg, Florida ("Mercantile"), and all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Mercantile Bank Leasing, Inc. ("MBL"), a Florida
corporation located in Tampa, Florida, which is engaged in equipment leasing.

Through its subsidiaries, Mercantile and MBL, the Company provides a wide range
of personal and commercial banking services to customers located in the Florida
counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco. The Company targets niche markets
that are underserved by the larger regional banks. These markets include small
to mid-size businesses and professional offices as well as individuals who
expect a higher level of personalized attention.

The Company has local directorship and management actively involved in its
market areas and committed to the economic growth and development of those
markets. Local management allows the Company to provide faster, more responsive
and flexible decision making which management believes is important to its
targeted customer base.

During the first half of 1999 the Company was presented with a unique
opportunity to purchase participation interests in approximately $50 million of
seasoned commercial real estate mortgage loans from another financial
institution. These loan participations were funded primarily through the
generation of new deposit accounts. This transaction contributed significantly
to the extraordinary asset growth for the period. Management does not anticipate
a comparable growth rate for the last half of 1999.

ACQUISITION

On January 16, 1998, Gulf West acquired Citizens National Bank and Trust
Company, Port Richey, Florida ("Citizens"). The Company exchanged 1.95 million
shares of its common stock for all the outstanding shares of Citizens. Citizens
operated one banking office in Pasco County, Florida. The Company accounted for
this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. The results for the
first quarter of 1998 include the results of Citizens for that period. The
excess purchase price over fair market value of the underlying net assets of
$1.9 million was allocated to goodwill.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's primary sources of
funds consisted of deposit inflows, loan principal repayments, and proceeds from
the maturity and principal repayment of securities available for sale. The
Company used its capital resources principally to fund existing and continuing
loan commitments, to purchase loan participations and to purchase securities. At
June 30, 1999, the Company had commitments to originate loans totaling $12.1
million. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund all its
commitments and that substantially all of its existing commitments will be
funded in 1999. Management also believes that, if so desired, it can adjust the
rates on time deposits to retain deposits in a changing interest-rate
environment.

                     GULF WEST BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

As a Florida-chartered commercial bank, Mercantile is required to maintain a
liquidity reserve of at least 15% of its total transaction accounts and 8% of
its total nontransaction accounts less those deposits of certain public funds.
The liquidity reserve may consist of cash on hand, cash on demand with other
correspondent banks and other investments and short-term marketable securities
as defined, such as federal funds sold and United States securities or
securities guaranteed by the United States. As of June 30, 1999, Mercantile had
liquidity of approximately $91 million, or approximately 27% of total deposits.

Management believes Mercantile was in compliance with all minimum capital
requirements which it was subject to at June 30, 1999.

The following ratios and rates are presented for the dates and periods
indicated:

         COMPARISON OF THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998


   GENERAL. Net earnings for the three-months ended June 30, 1999 were $868,000
      or $.13 per basic and diluted share compared to $586,000 or $.09 per basic
      and diluted share for 1998. The increase in earnings was primarily due to
      increases in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset
      by an increase in noninterest expenses.

   INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income increased by $1.4 million to
      $6.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 from $5.2
      million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Interest on loans
      increased $1.7 million to $5.5 million due to an increase in the average
      loan portfolio balance in 1999 partially offset by a decrease in the
      weighted-average yield earned in 1999. Interest on securities decreased
      $.1 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 due to a
      decrease in the average securities portfolio in 1999 and a decrease in the
      average yield earned in 1999. Interest on other interest-earning assets
      decreased from $242,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to
      $87,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 due to a decrease in the
      average balance of other interest-earning assets in 1999 and a decrease in
      the weighted-average yield earned in 1999.

      Interest expense on deposits increased $.7 million to $2.8 million for the
      three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2.1 million in 1998. The increase
      is due to an increase in the average deposits in 1999 partially offset by
      a decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits in 1999.

   PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses is charged against
      earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by
      management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of
      lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of
      nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
      relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the
      collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision for loan
      losses was $98,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared
      to $110,000 for the same period in 1998. The allowance for loan losses is
      $2.6 million at June 30, 1999. While management believes that its
      allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 1999, future
      adjustments to the Company's allowance for loan losses may be necessary if
      economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in
      making the initial determination.

   NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased to $910,000 in 1999 from
      $638,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Service charges on
      deposits increased in 1999 due to the growth in deposit accounts. Income
      from bank owned life insurance policies increased in 1999 primarily
      because of an additional investment in life insurance.

   NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense increased to $3.2 million for
      the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2.6 million for the comparable
      period ended June 30, 1998. Increases resulted primarily from increases in
      employee compensation, occupancy expense and data processing expense due
      to the addition of new banking offices and the expansion of the operations
      center.

   INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30,
      1999 was $392,000 or 31.1% of earnings before income taxes compared to
      $311,000 or 34.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

          COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

   GENERAL. Net earnings for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 were $1.4
      million or $.21 per basic and diluted share compared to $1.2 million or
      $.18 per basic and diluted share for 1998. The increase in earnings was
      primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income
      partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses.

   INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income increased by $2.2 million to
      $12.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 from $10.4
      million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Interest on loans
      increased $2.9 million to $10.4 million due to an increase in the average
      loan portfolio balance in 1999 partly offset by a decrease in the
      weighted-average yield earned in 1999. Interest on securities decreased
      $.5 million to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 due to
      a decrease in the average securities portfolio in 1999 and a decrease in
      the average yield earned in 1999. Interest on other interest-earning
      assets decreased from $410,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to
      $263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 due to a decrease in the
      average balance of other interest-earning assets in 1999 and a decrease in
      the weighted-average yield earned in 1999.

      Interest expense on deposits increased $1.3 million to $5.4 million for
      the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $4.1 million in 1998. The increase
      is due to an increase in the average deposits in 1999 partially offset by
      a decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits in 1999.

   PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses is charged against
      earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by
      management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of
      lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of
      nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
      relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the
      collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision for loan
      losses was $354,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared
      to $260,000 for the same period in 1998. The allowance for loan losses is
      $2.6 million at June 30, 1999. While management believes that its
      allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 1999, future
      adjustments to the Company's allowance for loan losses may be necessary if
      economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in
      making the initial determination.

   NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased to $1.7 million in 1999 from
      $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Service charges on
      deposits increased in 1999 due to the growth in deposit accounts. Income
      from bank owned life insurance policies increased in 1999 primarily
      because of an additional investment in life insurance.

   NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense increased to $6.1 million for
      the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $5.1 million for the comparable
      period ended June 30, 1998. Increases resulted primarily from increases in
      employee compensation, occupancy expense and data processing expense due
      to the addition of new banking offices and the expansion of the operations
      center.

   INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1999
      was $601,000 or 29.7% of earnings before income taxes compared to $655,000
      or 35.3% for the period ended June 30, 1998.

                                YEAR 2000 ISSUES


The Company is acutely aware of the many areas affected by the Year 2000
computer issue, as addressed by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council ("FFIEC") in its interagency statement which provided an outline for
institutions to effectively manage the Year 2000 challenges. A Year 2000 plan
has been approved by the Board of Directors which includes multiple phases,
tasks to be completed, and target dates for completion. Issues addressed therein
include awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, implementation, testing,
and contingency planning. In addition, the Board of Directors has engaged a
consulting firm to provide an independent review and evaluation of the Company's
Year 2000 readiness.

The Company formed a Year 2000 committee that is charged with the oversight of
completing the Year 2000 project on a timely basis. The Company has completed
its awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, implementation, and testing
phases; the results of which reflect the Company's internal systems to be Year
2000 ready. Its customer relations training having been achieved, the Company is
actively involved in its contingency planning training program. Since it
routinely upgrades and purchases technologically advanced software and hardware
on a continual basis, the Company has determined that the cost of making
modifications to correct any Year 2000 issues will not materially affect
reported operating results.

The Company's vendors and suppliers have been contacted for written confirmation
of their product readiness for Year 2000 compliance. Negative or deficient
responses are analyzed and periodically reviewed to prescribe timely actions
within the Company's contingency planning. The Company's main service provider
has completed testing of its mission critical application software and
interconnected systems. Test results, which have been documented and validated,
are deemed to be Year 2000 compliant. FFIEC guidance on testing Year 2000
compliance of service providers states that proxy tests are acceptable
compliance tests. In proxy testing, the service provider tests with a
representative sample of financial institutions that use a particular service,
with the results of such testing shared with all similarly situated clients of
the service provider. The Company has authorized the acceptance of proxy testing
since the proxy tests have been conducted with financial institutions that are
similar in type and complexity to its own, using the same version of the Year
2000 ready software and the same hardware and operating systems.

The Company also recognizes the importance of determining that its borrowers are
facing the Year 2000 problem in a timely manner to avoid deterioration of the
loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material relationships have been
identified and questionnaires have been completed to assess the inherent risks.
Deposit customers have received statement stuffers, informational material, and
direct mail in this regard. The Company is working on a one-on-one basis with
any borrower who has been identified as having high Year 2000 risk exposure.

Accordingly, management does not believe that the Company will incur material
costs associated with the Year 2000 issue. Yet, there can be no assurances that
all hardware and software that the Company will use will be Year 2000 compliant.
Management cannot predict the amount of financial difficulties it may incur due
to customers and vendors inability to perform according to their agreements with
the Company or the effects that other third parties may cause as a result of
this issue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of
others to address the issue or that the costs involved in such process will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company=s business, financial condition,
and results of operations.

The Company's contingency plans relative to Year 2000 issues have been
finalized; this plan covers actions considering a "worst case scenario,"
although such dire predictions are not anticipated. Based on testing results (as
noted above), the Company's mission critical systems have been deemed to be Year
2000 compliant; therefore a contingency plan has not been developed with respect
to those systems. With regard to nonmission critical internal systems, the
Company has replaced those systems that tested as being noncompliant.
Alternatively, some systems could be handled manually on an interim basis. The
Company is evaluating termination of those relationships with outside service
providers that have been deemed to provide noncompliant systems. It is
anticipated that the Company's deposit customers will have increased demands for
cash in the latter part of 1999 and correspondingly the Company will maintain
higher liquidity levels.

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 have been no significant changes in the Company's
market risk exposure since December 31, 1998.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Gulf West and Mercantile are parties to various legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that there is any
pending or threatened proceeding against Gulf West or Mercantile which, if
determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business,
results of operations, or financial position of Gulf West or Mercantile.

                              GULF WEST BANKS, INC.


         WHEREAS, the Articles of Incorporation of GULF WEST BANKS, INC. were
filed with and approved by the Secretary of State of Florida on the 24th day of
October, 1994; and as amended on the 29th day of March, 1995; and

         WHEREAS, it is the intention of all of the directors of GULF WEST
BANKS, INC. that the Articles of Incorporation be amended in accordance with the
amendment set forth herein; and

         WHEREAS, the proposed Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of
GULF WEST BANKS, INC. hereinafter set forth was approved by all of the directors
of GULF WEST BANKS, INC. on the 18th day of February, 1999; and

         WHEREAS, the proposed amendment was approved by the shareholders on
April 15, 1999 and the number of votes cast for the amendment was sufficient for
approval;and

         WHEREAS, the approval of the Secretary of State of Florida of the
proposed Amendment hereinafter set forth is hereby requested.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Articles of Incorporation of GULF WEST BANKS, INC.
are hereby amended by deleting in its entirety the present Article I and by
substituting therefor the following, to-wit:

                                   "ARTICLE V
                                  CAPITAL STOCK

         1. COMMON STOCK. The total number of shares of capital stock which the
Corporation has authority to issue is 25,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00
par value per share. The shares may be issued by the Corporation without the
approval of stockholders except as otherwise provided in these Articles or the
rules of a national securities exchange, if applicable. The consideration for
the issuance of the shares shall be paid to or received by the Corporation in
full before their issuance and shall not be less than the par value per share.
Before the Corporation issues shares, the Board of Directors must determine that
the consideration received or to be received for the shares is adequate. The
consideration for the issuance of the shares may consist of tangible or
intangible property or benefit to the Corporation including but not limited to
cash, promissory notes, services performed, promises to perform services
evidenced by a written contract or other securities or contract rights or
obligations of the Corporation or any combination of the foregoing. In the
absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the Board of
Directors as to the value of such consideration shall be conclusive. Upon
receipt of such consideration such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and
nonassessable. Each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one
vote for each share held by such holders.


<PAGE>

Exhibit 3.2


         Each share of common stock shall have the same relative powers,
preferences and rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all the
other shares of common stock of the Corporation."

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is
hereby executed on behalf of GULF WEST BANKS, INC. this 19th day of April, 1999.
