The increase in impaired and nonaccrual loans during 2003 mainly resulted from
two loans to an agricultural borrower being identified as impaired and
placed on nonaccrual status. Management estimates that equity in the
related collateral is sufficient and no loss is anticipated on these two
loans.

4. Income Per Share of Common Stock. Basic income per share of common stock has
been computed by dividing the net income for the period by the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Shares of common stock
purchased by the RRP incentive plans are only considered outstanding when
the shares are released or committed to be released for allocation to
participants. Diluted 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. All per
share amounts reflect the three-for-two stock split declared on February
14, 2003. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted
income per share of common stock:

6. Stock Option Plans. During 2002, the Company adopted a new stock option plan
(the "2002 Plan") which authorizes the Company to issue up to 375,000
shares (adjusted) in connection with options granted to directors, officers
or employees of the Company. The terms and vesting periods will be
determined as each option is granted, but the option price cannot be less
than the then current market value of the common stock at the grant date.
No options have been granted under the 2002 Plan through September 30,
2003.
The Company also has a 1993 stock option plan (the "1993 Plan") under which
common shares are authorized to be issued in connection with options
granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. Options
granted under the Plan are exercisable at the market price of the common
stock at the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to officers and
employees are exercisable in three equal annual installments, with the
first installment becoming exercisable one year from the date of grant.
Options granted to outside directors are exercisable immediately, but any
common shares obtained from exercise of the options may not be sold prior
to one year from the date of grant. All options expire at the earlier of
ten years for officers and employees or twenty years for directors from the
date of grant or one year following the date which the outside director,
officer or employee ceases to serve in such capacity. At September 30,
2003, 50,571 options (adjusted) remain available under the 1993 Plan for
future grant to directors, officers and employees.
The following is a summary of stock option transactions during the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (All options and option price per
share information has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock
split in 2003):

6. Stock Option Plans, Continued
No stock options were granted under the plans during the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2003 or 2002. SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma fair
value disclosures if the intrinsic value method is being utilized to value
stock-based compensation awards. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the
estimated fair value of stock options granted is included in expense in the
period vesting occurs. The proforma information has been determined as if
the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method
of SFAS No. 123. The Company accounts for their stock option plans under
the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income during the periods
presented, as all stock options granted under the plans had an exercise
price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date
of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
basic and diluted income per share as if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee
compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Review by Independent Certified Public Accountants
Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company's independent certified public
accountants, have made a limited review of the financial data as of September
30, 2003, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and
2002 presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included

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 Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2003,
the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the related condensed
consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, 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 reviews, 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 accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2002, 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 15, 2003 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, 2002, 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 its three
subsidiaries, First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Bank"), First
Alliance Title, LLC and FFLC Statutory Trust I and the Bank's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lake County Service Corporation ("LCSC") (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, consumer loans and, to a lesser extent, construction loans,
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 Bank'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 up 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 14 full-service banking facilities in Lake, Sumter, Citrus and
Marion Counties, Florida. The Bank is in the process of constructing two new
branches, one in Citrus County and the other in Sumter County.
The Company's results of operations depend 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, 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.
16
FFLC BANCORP, INC.
Capital Resources
The Company'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 and advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank. 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.
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the off-balance-sheet financial
instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does
for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the contractual amounts of
the Company's financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at
September 30, 2003 follows (in thousands):
Commitments to extend credit $ 31,923
========
Unused lines of credit $ 58,783
========
Undisbursed portion of loans in process $ 24,570
========
Standby letters of credit $ 3,600
========
The Company believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
its commitments. At September 30, 2003, certificates of deposit which were
scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $273.8 million. Based on
past experience, management believes, that a significant portion of those
funds will remain with the Company.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can require regulators to initiate certain mandatory- and
possibly additional discretionary-actions 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) of
total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of September 30, 2003,
the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
17
FFLC BANCORP, INC.
As of September 30, 2003, 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 September 30, 2003 are also
presented in the table.

Changes in Financial Condition
Total assets increased $9.9 million or 1.1%, from $915.8 million at December 31,
2002 to $925.7 million at September 30, 2003 primarily as a result of a $2.1
million increase in net loans, an increase in securities available for sale of
$1.3 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million.
Deposits increased $17.4 million from $668.1 million at December 31, 2002 to
$685.5 million at September 30, 2003. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
decreased $16.0 million from $149.0 million at December 31, 2002 to $133.0
million at September 30, 2003. The $4.8 million net increase in stockholders'
equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 resulted from net income
of $7.0 million and proceeds of $191,000 from stock options exercised, partially
offset by repurchases of the Company's stock of $247,000, dividends paid of $1.8
million and a $353,000, net of tax benefit decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
General Operating Results. Net income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2003 was $2.3 million, or $.42 per basic and diluted share, compared to
$2.2 million, or $.41 per basic share and $.40 per diluted share, for the
comparable period in 2002. All per share information has been adjusted to
reflect the three-for-two stock split in 2003. The increase in net income
was primarily a result of an increase of $177,000 in net interest income,
an increase of $603,000 in noninterest income and a decrease in the
provision for loan losses of $69,000, partially offset by an increase of
$661,000 in noninterest expense.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $1.5 million to $12.9 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was due to a
decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 6.63%
for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to 5.96% for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 and a $2.1 million decrease in average
interest-earning assets outstanding for the three months ended September
30, 2003 compared to the 2002 period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.7 million or 21.8%, from $7.6
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $5.9 million
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities from 3.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to
2.92% for the comparable 2003 period and a decrease of $9.2 million in
average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. Average interest-bearing
deposits increased $16.8 million from $638.9 million outstanding during the
three months ended September 30, 2002 to $655.7 million outstanding during
the comparable period for 2003. Average borrowings decreased $26.0 million
from $180.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2002 to
$154.9 million for the comparable 2003 period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to income to
increase the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management.
It is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company,
the Company's charge-off experience, industry standards, the amount of
nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
relate to the Company's market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company recorded
provisions for loan losses for the three-month periods ended September 30,
2003 and 2002 of $330,000 and $399,000, respectively. Net loans charged off
for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $345,000
and $319,000, respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses, which was $5.4 million or .71% of gross loans at September 30, 2003
is adequate.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $603,000 or 70.0% from $862,000
during the 2002 period to $1.5 million during the 2003 period. The increase
was partly due to a $308,000 increase in gain on sales of loans held for
sale. The Company has decided to sell an increased number of fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans it originates in the secondary market due to the
low interest-rate environment.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $661,000 or 17.5% from
$3.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $4.4
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. The increase
was primarily due to increases of $370,000 in salaries and employee
benefits, $74,000 in occupancy expense and $95,000 in data processing
expense related to the overall growth of the Company.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision increased from $1.3 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 (an effective tax rate of
37.7%) to $1.4 million (an effective tax rate of 37.7%) for the

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
General Operating Results. Net income for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2003 was $7.0 million, or $1.30 per basic share and $1.28 per diluted
share, compared to $6.6 million, or $1.23 per basic share and $1.21 per
diluted share, for the comparable period in 2002. All per share information
has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split in 2003. The
increase in net income was primarily a result of an increase of $1.0
million in net interest income and an increase of $1.6 million in
noninterest income, partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in
noninterest expense.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $2.5 million to $39.8 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was due to a
decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 6.84%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 6.06% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, partially offset by a $50.0 million or 6.1%
increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to the 2002 period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $3.6 million or 16.0%, from $22.4
million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $18.8 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities from 3.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to
3.05% for the comparable 2003 period, partially offset by an increase of
$44.5 million in average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased $57.2 million from $601.6 million
outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $658.8
million outstanding during the comparable period for 2003. Average
borrowings decreased $12.7 million from $175.0 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 to $162.3 million for the comparable 2003
period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to income to
increase the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management.
It is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company,
the Company's charge-off experience, industry standards, the amount of
nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
relate to the Company's market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company recorded
provisions for loan losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2003 and 2002 of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Net loans
charged off for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002
were $894,000 and $778,000, respectively. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses, which was $5.4 million or .71% of gross loans at
September 30, 2003 is adequate.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.6 million or 58.9% from $2.6
million during the 2002 period to $4.2 million during the 2003 period. The
increase was mainly due to a $786,000 increase in gain on sale of loans
held for sale. The Company has decided to sell an increased number of
fixed-rate residential mortgage loans it originates in the secondary market
due to the low interest-rate environment.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $2.0 million or 18.5% from
$10.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $12.8
million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The increase
was primarily due to increases of $1.2 million in salaries and employee
benefits, $266,000 in occupancy expense and $156,000 in data processing
expense related to the overall growth of the Company.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision increased from $3.9 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 (an effective tax rate of 37.3%)
to $4.3 million (an effective tax rate of 37.7%) for the corresponding
period in 2003.

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 change in the Company's market risk exposure
since December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that the interest
rate swap entered into in September 2002 exposes the Company to significant
interest rate risk.
