         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, 2000, and the results of operations
         for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
         and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
         1999. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
         30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
         for the full year.

Hacker, Johnson, Cohen & Grieb PA, the Company's independent certified public
accountants, have made a limited review of the financial data as of June 30,
2000, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

          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, 2000, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the
six-month period ended June 30, 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 earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January
21, 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.

                  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 financial 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 headquartered 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 variety 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's primary sources of
funds consisted of deposit inflows, loan principal repayments, other borrowings
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, and to purchase available for sale securities.
At June 30, 2000, the Company had commitments to originate loans totaling $13.1
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 2000. 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, 2000, Mercantile had
liquidity of approximately $73 million, or approximately 20% of total deposits.

Management believes Mercantile was in compliance with all minimum capital
requirements which it was subject to at June 30, 2000.

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

                     GULF WEST BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

         COMPARISON OF THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

GENERAL. Net earnings for the three-months ended June 30, 2000 were
       $1,010,000 or $.14 per basic and diluted share compared to $868,000 or
       $.12 per basic and diluted share for 1999. The increase in earnings was
       primarily due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by
       an increase in noninterest expenses.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income increased by $1.1 million to
       $7.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 from $6.6
       million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Interest on loans
       increased $.8 million to $6.3 million due to an increase in the average
       loan portfolio balance in 2000 and an increase in the weighted-average
       yield earned in 2000. Interest on securities increased $.1 million to
       $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to an increase
       in the weighted-average yield earned in 2000. Interest on other
       interest-earning assets increased from $87,000 for the three months ended
       June 30, 1999 to $191,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to
       an increase in the average balance of other interest-earning assets in
       2000 and an increase in the weighted-average yield earned in 2000.

       Interest expense on deposits increased $.4 million to $3.2 million for
       the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $2.8 million in 1999. The
       increase is due to an increase in the average deposits in 2000 and an
       increase in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits in 2000.

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 $57,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000
       compared to $98,000 for the same period in 1999. The allowance for loan
       losses is $3.0 million at June 30, 2000. While management believes that
       its allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2000, 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 decreased to $867,000 in 2000 from
       $910,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Service charges on
       deposits increased in 2000 due to the growth in deposit accounts. Income
       from bank owned life insurance policies decreased in 2000 primarily
       because of a decrease in the rate earned on life insurance. Income from
       leasing activity of MBL decreased in 2000 due to lower volume.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense increased to $3.4 million for
       the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $3.2 million for the comparable
       period ended June 30, 1999. Increases resulted primarily from increases
       in employee compensation, occupancy expense and was partially offset by a
       decrease in data processing due to moving this function in-house.

INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30,
       2000 was $528,000 or 34.3% of earnings before income taxes compared to
       $392,000 or 31.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

          COMPARISON OF SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

GENERAL. Net earnings for the six-months ended June 30, 2000 were $1.8
       million or $.25 per basic and diluted share compared to $1.4 million or
       $.20 per basic and diluted share for 1999. The increase in earnings was
       primarily due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by
       an increase in noninterest expenses.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest income increased by $2.6 million to
       $15.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 from $12.6
       million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Interest on loans
       increased $2.0 million to $12.4 million due to an increase in the average
       loan portfolio balance in 2000 and an increase in the weighted-average
       yield earned in 2000. Interest on securities increased $.4 million to
       $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to an increase in
       the average securities portfolio in 2000 and an increase in the
       weighted-average yield earned in 2000. Interest on other interest-earning
       assets increased from $263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
       $384,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to an increase in the
       average balance of other interest-earning assets in 2000 and an increase
       in the weighted-average yield earned in 2000.

       Interest expense on deposits increased $1.0 million to $6.4 million for
       the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $5.4 million in 1999. The
       increase is due to an increase in the average deposits in 2000 and an
       increase in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits in 2000.

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 $280,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared
       to $354,000 for the same period in 1999. The allowance for loan losses is
       $3.0 million at June 30, 2000. While management believes that its
       allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2000, 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 remained at $1.7 million in 2000.
       Service charges on deposits increased in 2000 due to the growth in
       deposit accounts. Income from bank owned life insurance policies
       decreased in 2000 primarily because of lower rates earned on investments
       in life insurance. Income from leasing activities of MBL decreased in
       2000 due to lower volume.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense increased to $6.9 million for
       the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $6.1 million for the comparable
       period ended June 30, 1999. Increases resulted primarily from increases
       in employee compensation, occupancy expense was partially offset by a
       decrease in data processing due to moving this function in-house.

INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2000
       was $911,000 or 33.8% of earnings before income taxes compared to
       $601,000 or 29.7% for the period ended June 30, 1999.

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, 1999.

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.
