PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Valrico Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company which was a
newly-formed corporation on May 31, 1995 with its principal place of business
in Valrico, Florida. The Company subsequently acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of Valrico State Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary.
All shares held by the Bank's shareholders were exchanged on a one-to-one basis
for Valrico Bancorp, Inc. shares. The Company's common stock, no par value,
authorized 1,000,000 shares, had 296,845 issued and outstanding shares as of
December 31, 1996. Of the original shares of 302,779, the Company purchased
5,934 shares from its shareholders. The Company derives substantially all of
its income from dividends from its subsidiary. The results of operations of
the Company for 1996 are minimal and are not material to the consolidated
financial statements. The Bank and the Company share the same board of
directors, which is comprised of ten individuals. Those individuals are C.
Dennis Carlton, H. Leroy English, Gregory L. Henderson, Douglas A. Holmberg,
Charles E. Jennings, Jr., J.E. McLean, III, Justo Noriega, Larry R. Tracy, Ann
M. Winter and LeVaughn Amerson.


SUBSIDIARY BANK.

Valrico State Bank (the "Bank") was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Florida on August 29, 1988. The Bank was chartered as a Florida state bank
effective June 23, 1989, after receiving approval to organize from the Florida
Department of Banking and Finance (the "Florida Department"), and the Bank
commenced operations on June 23, 1989. The Bank is supervised, regulated and
regularly examined by the Florida State Banking Department and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank is not currently a member of the
Federal Reserve Bank.


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

BANKING OFFICES AND PRIMARY MARKET AREA. The Company, through its subsidiary
bank, conducts a general commercial banking business from its main office
located at 1815 East State Road 60, Valrico, Florida 33594-3623 and its two
branch facilities located at 102 West Robertson Street, Brandon, Florida 33511
and 305 South Wheeler Street, Plant City, Florida 33566. The Company's
primary telephone number is (813) 689-1231. Valrico is a community located in
the eastern portion of Hillsborough County, Florida, and is approximately 14
miles east of Tampa, Florida, which is located on the west coast of the state
of Florida. While the Bank's overall market area extends throughout
Hillsborough County, it expects to draw most of its business from eastern
Hillsborough County (the Brandon/Valrico/Dover/Plant City area) and estimates
that more than 75% of its business will come from customers whose businesses or
residences are located in an area within a radius of approximately five miles
of the Bank's principle offices (the "Bank's Assessment Area"). The Company,
through its subsidiary bank, intends for the near future, to service (with few
exceptions) only residents and businesses located in Hillsborough County, but
may choose to accept some business from outside of Hillsborough County.

The Bank received approval in January 1994 from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and the Florida Department of Banking and Finance to open a branch
located at 102 West Robertson Street, Brandon, Florida 33511. Therefore, the
Bank successfully opened its first branch on April 29, 1994, which is located
approximately one and a half miles west of the main office and located in our
current community and assessment area. The location is in the center of
Brandon, extremely convenient to many businesses and professional offices.

The Company, after receiving regulatory approval, opened its second branch on
September 15, 1995, in Plant City located at 305 South Wheeler Street (corner
of Renfro and Wheeler). The Bank purchased, from Barnett Bank, a former
Glendale Federal Bank branch, a free standing building with approximately 2,400
square feet including the land and furniture. This positioned the Bank to
better service the Plant City market in which the Bank was already servicing a
small customer base.

BANKING SERVICES. The Company, through it subsidiary, conducts substantially
the same business operations as a typical independent commercial bank with
special emphasis on retail banking. The Bank offers a wide range of consumer
and commercial banking services traditionally offered by commercial banks, such
as personal and commercial checking accounts, regular negotiable order of
withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, certificates of deposits, money market accounts,
savings accounts, IRA accounts, foreign currency exchanges, credit cards, debit
cards, money orders, travelers' cheques, notary service, safe deposit boxes and
wire transfers. It also offers discounted brokerage services, profit sharing
programs, 401(k)s and other similar programs. These depository services are
further complemented by direct deposit programs, night depository services, and
bank by mail. The Bank's main office is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
Mondays through Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Fridays, and 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The Bank also offers drive-up teller facilities which
are open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, and 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The branches office hours are the same except the
Brandon office has no Saturday banking hours. The Bank does not presently own
its own automatic teller machine (ATM). It does offer cards to its customers
which can be used at ATM machines which are members of the Southeast Switch
which includes HONOR Network (Florida and other southeastern states) and CIRRUS
(a worldwide network). In 1996, the Bank offered a new debit card. This new
card is part of the Mastercard system known as the Master Moneycard. This new
product enhances the ATM card products that the Bank offers.

The Bank originates a wide range of loans including, but not limited to,
commercial and consumer loans, as well as loans secured by deposit accounts and
other marketable collateral. As of December 31, 1996, commercial and consumer
loans accounted for approximately 55.3% and 17.1%, respectively, of the Bank's
loan portfolio. Loans are also made to enable borrowers to purchase,
refinance, construct or improve residential or other real estate and usually
are secured by mortgages on such real estate. As of December 31, 1996, real
estate mortgage loans accounted for approximately 11.4% of the Bank's loan
portfolio. To service the agricultural segment of the Bank's market area, the
Bank employs an agricultural lender. As of December 31, 1996, 16.2% of the
total loan portfolio was comprised of agricultural loans. All loans are made
in compliance with applicable Federal and state regulations.

The Bank uses a computer system to handle all accounting and statement
processing. In addition, the Bank makes extensive use of personal computers
in its teller and lobby locations, which allows for efficient handling and
tracking of new accounts, loans and other paper intensive services, and

Page 2

provides every employee of the Bank access to complete customer profiles at all
times.

This system was upgraded in early 1994 to keep pace with the latest technology
and to ensure that we would be able to grow without adding personnel. In fact,
with the upgrade in early 1994, we have decreased the amount of personnel time
required to run the system and have reduced the amount of time required to
service our customers. Our customer base has increased to over 7,000 accounts,
yet personnel levels have remained the same with the exception of staffing our
new branches.

The Bank offers a complete brokerage service through a third party which
permits its customers to buy and sell stocks and bonds and otherwise trade in
securities at a discount with full accountability of their transactions. The
Bank does not currently have a trust department. However, because of potential
for growth of the Bank, the growth of the economy of Hillsborough County, and
the income-producing nature of the residents within the Bank's Assessment Area,
consideration may be given to the development and delivery of trust services in
the future. In the interim, the Bank will offer, through third parties,
qualified pension plans, self-directed IRAs, SEPs, Keogh and profit-sharing
plans, including 401(k) plans.

OPERATING STRATEGY. Management of the Company believes that the emerging
dominance of large regional holding companies in the banking industry has
created a need for more locally-owned institutions with personalized banking
services. The Bank was organized as a locally-owned, locally-managed community
financial institution, owned and managed by people who are actively involved in
the Bank's market area and committed to its economic growth and development.
With local ownership, management and directors, the Bank believes it can be
more responsive to the community it serves and tailor services to its
customers' needs rather than the standardized services that large holding
companies tend to offer. Local ownership and operation will allow faster, more
responsive and flexible decision-making, which may not be available at the
majority of financial institutions in or near the Bank's Assessment Area which
are branch offices of large regional holding company banks with headquarters
located elsewhere in Florida or in the United States.

The principal business of the Bank is to attract deposits from the general
public, and to invest those funds in various types of loans and other
interest-earning assets. Funds provide for the operations of the Bank through
proceeds from the sale of investments and loans, from amortization and
repayment of outstanding loans, from borrowings, and from working capital.
Earnings of the Bank depend primarily upon the difference between (1) the
interest and fees received by the Bank from loans, the securities held in its
investment portfolio, and other investments, and (2) expenses incurred by the
Bank in connection with obtaining funds for lending (including interest paid on
deposits and other borrowings) and expenses relating to day-to-day operations.

The primary sources of the Bank's funds for lending and for other general
business purposes are the Bank's capital, deposits, loan repayments, borrowings
and funds provided from operations. The Bank expects that loan repayments and
funds provided from operations will be relatively stable sources of funds,
while deposit inflows and outflows will be significantly influenced by
prevailing interest rates, money market and general economic conditions.
Generally, short-term borrowings are used to compensate for reductions in
normal sources of funds while longer-term borrowings are used to support
expanded lending activities.

The Bank's customers are primarily individuals, professionals, small and medium
size businesses, and citrus and agricultural enterprises located predominantly
in eastern and southern Hillsborough County, Florida. The Bank's business is
not dominated by a single customer or by a few customers. The loss of any one
or more would not have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Bank.
The Bank attempts to tailor its services to the needs of its customers since
there is a heavy emphasis on retail and service-oriented businesses in the
Company's market area. Moreover, the Bank's main office location is on a
major east-west artery in one of eastern Hillsborough County's faster growing
areas in terms of the number of new residents. The exposure provided by the
site and the population growth of the area are expected to contribute to the
growth of the Company.

The Bank continually seeks to develop new business through an ongoing program
of personal calls on both present and potential customers. As a local
independent bank, the Bank utilizes traditional local advertising media, as
well as direct mailings, telephone contacts, and brochures to promote the Bank
and develop loans and deposits. In addition, the Company's directors all have
worked and/or lived in or near eastern Hillsborough County for a number of
years. The Bank believes that this factor, coupled with the past and continued
involvement of the directors in various local community activities, will
further promote its image as a locally-oriented independent institution, which
management believes is an important factor to its targeted customer base.

COMPETITION. The banking business in Florida in general, and in Hillsborough
County in particular, is highly competitive with respect to both loans and
deposits. The Bank competes with other commercial banks in Hillsborough County
and the surrounding area for all services customarily provided by commercial
banks. In addition, the Bank competes with savings and loan associations,
finance companies, insurance companies, money market mutual funds, credit
unions, other financial institutions and various other non-bank competitors.
Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources, including more
personnel and a larger asset base, than the Bank and provide certain services,
such as trust services, which the Bank does not currently provide.

As of December 31, 1996, there were 10 commercial banks (including the Company's
subsidiary bank) with 39 offices and 1 savings and loan association with 5
offices; at least 8 credit unions; and various other financial entities as
competitors in the Bank's Assessment Area. The Company expects to receive
substantial competition from most of these financial institutions. The Bank's
main office is located on East State Road 60, a primary east-west artery in the
Bank's Assessment Area, and 800 feet west of Valrico Road, a primary
north-south artery in the Bank's Assessment Area. The Brandon branch facility
is located in the center of Brandon and the Plant City branch facility is
located in the center of Plant City. The Bank is one of only two financial
institutions which have their headquarters in eastern Hillsborough County. The
other financial institution, being Sunshine State Savings and Loan in Plant
City. All others are branches of institutions which have their headquarters in
other parts of Hillsborough County or elsewhere in Florida. Several actually
are owned by banks with headquarters in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and
Ohio. In 1996, South Hillsborough Community Bank headquartered in Apollo
Beach, Hillsborough County, was acquired by Provident Bank located in Ohio and
Fort Brooke Bank headquartered in Brandon was acquired by Colonial Bank
located in Alabama. The only merger or acquisition that occurred in 1995
was the acquisition of Plant State Bank in Plant City by SouthTrust Bank. These
acquisitions eliminated all three community banks serving the
Brandon/Valrico/Plant City area and left our Bank the only independent
community bank in our Assessment Area and in eastern Hillsborough County. The
Bank's second branch was opened in 1995 in the Plant City market and the Bank
anticipates expansion in this market area with an instore branch

to open June 1997, located in a Walmart supercenter on Jim Redman Parkway.
This location is in a growing area and a very active shopping center with an
estimated 50,000 plus customers per week. This Walmart is one of their largest
supercenters in Florida.

In order to compete with major financial institutions and others in the Bank's
Assessment Area, the Bank will continue to emphasize specialized services,
local promotional activity and personal contacts by the Bank's officers,
directors and employees. The Bank believes that its local ownership and
community-oriented operating philosophy and personalized banking services are
competitive factors in which it has strength.

DEPOSITS. As of December 31, 1996, total deposits of the Bank were distributed
among demand deposits (17.6%), savings and time deposits (57.6%) and NOW and
money market deposits (24.8%). The Bank's deposits are attracted primarily
from individuals, professionals, small and medium size businesses and citrus
and agricultural enterprises located predominantly in eastern Hillsborough
County, Florida. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 23.0% of the Bank's
total deposits were from businesses and 77.0% were from individuals.
Management of the Bank has no reason to believe that the loss of any one or a
few of its deposit accounts would have a material adverse effect upon the
operations of the Bank or erode its deposit base.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION. The Company is regulated under both state and
Federal law. The Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
and is subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company's subsidiary bank is not a member of the Federal
Reserve System, but is subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") which agency also insures the Bank's
deposits up to applicable limits. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is
subject to the regulations of the Florida Department. The Bank will be subject
to periodic examinations by both the FDIC and the Florida Department focusing
on fund reserves, loans and loan policy, investments, management policy and
practices, and various other aspects of the Bank's operations.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, ETC. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary hold any
patents, registered trademarks, licenses (other than licenses which have been
obtained from appropriate banking regulatory agencies), franchises or
concessions.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. Prior to the organization of the Bank, the organizers of
the Bank conducted economic and other surveys to evaluate the banking needs for
the community of Valrico and its immediate environs. The results of those
surveys were used to support the application to the Florida Department for
permission to organize the Bank and the application to the FDIC for insurance
of the Bank's accounts. Since it commenced operations, officers of the Bank
have engaged continually in marketing activities, including the evaluation of
development of new services, to enable the Bank to improve its competitive
position in the Bank's Assessment Area. The cost to the Bank for these
marketing activities cannot be calculated with any degree of certainty. In the
fourth quarter of 1993, the Bank gathered and reviewed new economic data for
the purpose of supporting an application to the Florida Department for
permission to open a full service branch facility in Brandon, Florida, and
performed similar research in the summer of 1995 to support an application to
the Florida Department for permission to open a full service branch in Plant
City, Florida. The cost of collecting and evaluating this information likewise
cannot be determined with any degree of certainty, as most of the information
was collected from public sources and other sources already utilized by the
Company for

Page 5

its day-to-day evaluations.

EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank employed 28 full-time employees,
of which two were executive officers, and 7 part-time employees, of which two
are bank officers. The Bank's employees are not represented by a collective
bargaining group, and the Bank considers its relations with its employees to be
excellent. The Bank also maintains training and educational programs designed
to equip employees for positions of increasing responsibility in both
management and operating positions. The Bank provides employees certain
benefits customary in the banking industry, which includes major medical
insurance, group term life insurance and normal vacation and sick leave. The
Bank will implement a K-SOP plan in 1997.

SEASONAL NATURE OF THE BANK'S BUSINESS. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank has
been in operation for seven and one-half years. Management believes that there
is some seasonality in its deposit base due primarily to its agricultural
relationships. The seasonality in these deposits, however, has not been
substantial to impact the core base of deposits, therefore, management does not
believe its deposit relationship is affected. In its lending portfolio, the
Bank sees a greater affect on this seasonal business during the period from
September to May reflecting larger outstandings in the agricultural portfolio.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company, through its subsidiary, has a principal office located at 1815
East State Road 60 in Valrico, Florida, in a traditional, southern, Greek
neo-classical two-story building with 9,860 square feet. As of January 31,
1994, the last tenant which occupied lease space vacated and the Company now
utilizes the entire facility for bank operations. The Brandon office, located
at 102 West Robertson Street in Brandon, Florida, is in a leased 3,000 square
foot end unit in a retail plaza at a major intersection in the center of
Brandon. The Plant City office is located at 305 South Wheeler Street in
facilities purchased in July 1995.

The Bank leased its principal office space pursuant to an agreement dated March
30, 1989 (the "Lease") with Roy J. and Ann M. Winter (collectively, the
"Lessor"). Mrs. Winter currently serves as a director of the Bank.

The Lease commenced on March 30, 1989, and had an initial term of seven years.
The Bank had an option to renew the Lease for five additional five-year terms
upon six-months' prior written notice to the Lessor. Beginning on the third
anniversary of the commencement date of the Lease, annual rental payments
became subject to adjustment according to a formula based on the Consumer Price
Index, however, such adjustment may not exceed 6% nor be less than 4% over the
annual rent for the previous year of the Lease. Beginning April 1, 1995,
annual rental payments under the Lease totaled $204,378 (net of Florida state
sales tax and property tax). In addition to the rental payment, the Bank was
required to pay all utilities, property and other taxes, insurance and any
other expenses for the maintenance and operation of the leased property
(exclusive of debt service on any mortgage(s) securing the property).

The Lease also provided the Bank with an option to purchase the property.

Pursuant to the Lease, the Bank has available approximately 55 parking spaces
adjacent to the Bank's office building and five drive-up lane facilities.

Page 6

In October 1995, the Company mailed a notice of intent to purchase the main
office bank building from the Winters. The Lease expired on March 31, 1996.
The Bank continued to occupy the space on a month-to-month rental basis up to
January 14, 1997, at which time the premises were purchased by the Company.

The Bank leases its Brandon branch office space pursuant to an agreement dated
March 31, 1994 (the "Lease") with J. "Bill" Noriega, Jr. (the "Lessor"). Mr.
Noriega currently serves as a director of the Bank. This lease expires March
31, 1997 and has annual rentals of $42,000.00. The Bank has the option to
renew the lease for four additional three-year terms at rentals to be
negotiated at the time of the renewal.

The aggregate lease expense paid by the Bank under these leases, including the
Bank building lease, totaled $246,378 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1996.

The Company, through its subsidiary, purchased from Barnett Bank, a former
Glendale Federal Bank branch with approximately 2,400 square feet. The
purchase included building and land located at 305 South Wheeler Street (corner
of Renfro and Wheeler). On September 15, 1995, the Bank opened its second
branch at this location.

The Company, through its subsidiary, owns a parcel of land for future
expansion. The partially improved property, totaling approximately one acre,
is immediately adjacent to the Company's main office property on the west side.
The site is ideally located for the development of an Operations Center when
the growth of the Company will require additional space beyond that which is
available in the existing Company facility.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the management of the Company has no
knowledge of any material pending legal proceedings, including proceedings
contemplated by governmental authorities, to which the Company and its
subsidiary or any of its property is subject.

PART II


ITEM 6. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS.

There is no trading market at the current time for the Common Stock of the
Company, and it is not expected that a trading market will develop for shares
of the Company's Common Stock in the near future. The Company is aware of 7
sale transactions that occurred during fiscal year 1996 at prices ranging from
$12.00 to $12.10 per share, exclusive of commissions. The Bank is also aware
of 4 sale transactions that occurred during fiscal year 1995 at prices ranging
from $10.60 to $11.00 per share, exclusive of commissions.

As of March 15, 1997, there were 523 holders of record of the Common Stock of
the Company.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata in the distribution of
dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally
available for such purpose. The Bank cannot pay dividends in any one year in
which its net income from the current year, combined with its retained net
income for the preceding two years, is a loss or which would cause the capital
accounts of the Bank to fall below the minimum amount required by law.
Additionally, under certain circumstances, approval of the FDIC and the Florida
Department may be required prior to the payment of a dividend.

At the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and after careful
review of certain factors, such as results of operations, capital requirements,
regulatory restrictions, tax considerations and general economic conditions,
the Board declared its first dividend in September 1993 at ten cents per share
and paid said dividend on October 5, 1993. It likewise paid a similar dividend
in 1994, 1995 and 1996 based on respective year earnings and paid said dividend
on October 1 of each year.


ITEM 7. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

The following table sets forth, in summary form, certain comparative financial
data of the Company for a five year period encompassing the periods ended
December 31, 1992, December 31, 1993, December 31, 1994, December 31, 1995 and

=========== =========== ===========
PER SHARE DATA
Net income $ 1.17 1.22 $ .78



The Company had a positive net income of $347,991, or $1.17 per share for the
period ended December 31, 1996, as compared to a net income of $368,793, or
$1.22 per share for the period ended December 31, 1995, and a net income of
$236,353, or $.78 per share for the period ended December 31, 1994. Net income
is after taxes. The Bank set aside $181,444 as provision for loan losses for
the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $97,500 and $78,000 in 1995 and
1994, respectively. The Bank continued to experience good deposit growth
during 1996 resulting in a net increase from January 1, 1996 to December 31,
1996 of $4,102,178 or 9.2%, compared to a 15.4% growth in 1995 and 6.4% in
1994. During the same periods, the Bank's net loans outstanding increased
$4,706,262 or 14.2% for total net outstandings of $37,897,300, as compared to a
14.0% growth in 1995

Page 11

and 14.1% in 1994. The ratio of net loans to deposits
remained about the same as the previous year from 74.1% at December 31, 1995 to
77.5% at December 31, 1996. The ratio of net loans to deposits was 75.1% at
December 31, 1994.

NET INTEREST INCOME. The major component of the Bank's earning capacity is net
interest income which is the difference or spread between interest income on
earning assets (primarily loans, Federal funds sold [funds loaned on a
short-term basis to other banks] and investment securities) and interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits). The spread is
considered positive when interest income exceeds interest expense and negative
when interest expense exceeds interest income. Net interest income is also
affected by changes in interest rates earned and interest rates paid and by
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.

The Bank's net interest income increased 14.9% in 1995 from $2,049,645
(includes loan fees of $81,539) in 1994 to $2,354,264 (includes loan fees of
$112,560), and 13.1% in 1996 from $2,354,264 to $2,662,112 (includes loan fees
of $126,445) for the period ended December 31, 1996. The Bank's continued
increase in net interest income from 1994 to 1996 is due to the mix of
interest-earning assets where net loans contributed a higher percent of total
interest income increasing from $2,509,903 in 1994 to $3,454,488 in 1996.
Interest income from other interest-earning assets, such as investments and
Federal funds sold which are normally the lower yielding assets, earned
$596,887 in 1994, $666,735 in 1995 and $752,080 in 1996. The substantial
increase in interest income was directly proportionate to the strong growth in
loans and Federal funds sold. During the same three year periods, interest
expense on deposits increased from $1,051,590 in 1994 to $1,402,678 in 1995 and
increased to $1,514,224 in 1996 due primarily to an increase in deposits and
an increase in rates. Interest income yields on loans, which are normally
higher than interest income yields on investment securities and Federal funds
sold, was favorable to the Bank's profit. For the period from January 1, 1996
through December 31, 1996, the loan interest income of $3,328,043 earned on
average net loans of $35,271,000 gave an average interest yield of 9.44%, as
compared to 9.62% in 1995 and 9.1% in 1994. The investment interest income of
$590,337 earned on average investment securities of $9,212,832 gave an average
interestyield of 6.11% for the period from January 1, 1996 through December 31,
1996, as compared to 6.24% in 1995 and 5.74% in 1994.

The net interest spread measures the difference between the average yield on
earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing sources of funds.
The net interest spread decreased from the period ended December 31, 1994 of
4.88% to 4.79% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995, and a
slight decline to 4.67% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1996.
As of December 31, 1996, the net yield on earning assets was 5.29%, as compared
to 5.36% for the year ended December 31, 1995. To the extent possible, the
Bank follows a strategy intended to insulate the Bank's interest rate spread
from adverse changes in interest rates by maintaining spreads through the
adjustability of its earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the
Bank's portfolio of assets and liabilities. These repricing characteristics
are the time frames within which the interest-bearing assets and liabilities
are subject to change in interest rates. The change in interest rates can be
either at replacement, repricing or maturity during the life of the assets or
liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity management is to concentrate on the
maturities of assets and liabilities as they reprice during time


Page 12


14

periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective management is to ensure
that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an
acceptable time frame while minimizing the effect of interest rate changes on
net interest income.

The Bank's interest rate sensitivity exposure as of December 31, 1996 for a
three month, six month, one year and five years and over time horizons taking
the net position as a percent of total assets was -11.41%, -16.67%, -14.02% and
3.05%, respectively. The rate sensitive assets as a percent of rate sensitive
liabilities for the same time horizons were 74.83%, 70.55%, 78.19% and 104.07%,
respectively. Management believes the liability sensitive position is inflated
because certain types of transaction accounts which represent the Bank's basic
checking accounts, as well as regular savings accounts, are not rate sensitive
and change very little over a twelve-month period. The Bank feels a high
percentage of these accounts are relationship accounts. The Bank's goal,
however, is to position itself to take optimum advantage of the changing
interest rate environment and to do so in a timely manner.

EARNING ASSETS. At December 31, 1996, residential (1-4 family) real estate
related loans totaled $4,368,098, an increase of $1,002,291 from the total of
$3,365,807 at December 31, 1995. The increase is due primarily as a result of
several new large mortgage loans in the portfolio, as opposed to a planned
marketing strategy. The total of $4,368,098 is approximately 11.4% of the
Bank's total loan portfolio, a slight increase from the 10.0% at December 31,
1995, and is approximately 9.0% of the Bank's earning assets, an increase from
the 7.4% at December 31, 1995. Real estate loans include primarily
intermediate-term loans secured by real estate and payable in periodic
installments. At December 31, 1996, commercial loans totaled $21,241,275, an
increase from $17,190,029 at December 31, 1995. Total commercial loans of
$21,241,275 is approximately 55.3% of the loan portfolio, an increase from the
approximate 50.1% at December 31, 1995. Total commercial loans are
approximately 43.7% of the Bank's earning assets at December 31, 1996, an
increase from the approximate 37.9% at December 31, 1995. Commercial loans
include business purpose loans to both businesses and individuals which are
payable on demand or within a specified period of time.

As of December 31, 1996, agricultural loans totaled $6,249,021, representing
approximately 16.2% of the total loan portfolio and 12.8% of the Bank's earning
assets. At December 31, 1996, consumer loans totaled $6,575,783, which
represented approximately 17.1% of the Bank's total loan portfolio, a decrease
from the approximately 19.3% at December 31, 1995. Total consumer loans were
approximately 13.5% of the Bank's total earning assets at December 31, 1996, a
slight decrease from the previous year of approximately 14.3%. Consumer loans
are consumer purpose loans made to both businesses and individuals.

The Bank's investment portfolio at December 31, 1996 of $10,400,373 (based on
securities held available for sale marked to approximate fair market value)
comprised approximately 21.4% of the Bank's total earning assets, as compared
to 17.7% at December 31, 1995. The investment securities are primarily
concentrated in U. S. Treasury securities, obligations of other U. S.
Government agencies, municipals and corporations. As of December 31, 1996, the
Bank's investment portfolio had 28.2% adjustable rate securities.

The FASB 115 rule regarding "Accounting For Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" was implemented the first quarter of 1994. The new rule
required financial institutions to segregate their investment portfolio into
three categories; 1) securities held-to-maturity (HTM), 2) securities available

Page 13


15

for sale (AFS), and 3) trading securities. Securities available for sale are
to be marked to a fair market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for
AFS securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a
separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. Unrealized holding
gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. As of
December 31, 1996, the Bank's investment portfolio, based on Marked to Market,
consisted of $7,159,983 in AFS and $3,240,390 in HTM. The net effect to
stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1996 was a net loss in reserve for
securities of $21,145.

Reclassifying of securities as to available for sale and held-to-maturity took
place at December 1995, based upon a regulatory change which allowed a window
of opportunity to reclassify the investment portfolio.

The market value of securities fluctuates during the investment period and is
determined on the basis of market quotations. The Bank reprices its securities
on a monthly basis. The Bank invests in securities for interest income and
liquidity.

When calculating total earning assets, the addition of $850,023 as of December
31, 1996 was added to total earning assets. This amount represents the cash
surrender value of whole life insurance policies purchased primarily to fund a
deferred benefit pension plan implemented in 1993 for officers of the Bank who
qualified for the program.

NONINTEREST EARNING ASSETS. Noninterest earning assets accounted for
approximately 11.4% of the Bank's total assets at December 31, 1996, an
increase from the approximately 9.3% at December 31, 1995. The total
noninterest earning assets primarily consisted of cash and funds placed on
deposit in accounts with other banks. Of the total $6,263,147 of noninterest
earning assets, cash and noninterest bearing deposits totaled $3,677,677.
Other significant noninterest earning assets consisted of furniture, equipment,
leasehold improvements and interest receivable.

FUNDING SOURCES. The primary source of funds for the Bank's lending and
investment activities is deposits. At December 31, 1996, the Bank's total
deposits were $48,875,800, an increase of $4,102,178 from total deposits of
$44,773,622 at December 31, 1995, or an increase of 9.2%. Approximately 82.5%
of the Bank's total deposits at December 31, 1996 were concentrated in
interest-bearing accounts, which is typical in the Bank's market area. Also
note that included in interest-bearing accounts are the Bank's NOW accounts
which are the only types of checking accounts offered to its customers. Only a
percentage of these accounts maintain a sufficient balance to earn interest.
The Bank had 24.8% of its deposits in NOW and money market accounts, compared
with 26.3% at December 31, 1995. The Bank had 57.6% of its deposits in time
deposits (savings accounts and certificates of deposits), a slight decrease from
the approximately 59.0% at December 31, 1995. The cost of funds (interest
expense) of $1,514,224 paid on the Bank's average interest-bearing deposits of
$39,561,000 for the period from January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 was
3.8%, as compared to the cost of funds of $1,402,678 paid on the Bank's average
interest-bearing deposits of $35,709,000 for the period from January 1, 1995
through December 31, 1995 of 3.9%. While there is a high concentration of
certificates of deposits, the Bank does not anticipate the maturity of such
certificates to affect the Bank's liquidity, as management believes that such
high concentration is primarily due to customer relationships and not the
higher than market rates typically offered by such certificates. The Bank is
not in the practice of paying above market rates on deposits.

Effective August 15, 1995, the Federal Housing Finance Board approved Valrico
State Bank's membership to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Being a
member offers alternative funding sources for the Bank.

OTHER INCOME. The Bank's noninterest income for the period from January 1,
1996 through December 31, 1996 was $430,995. The sources reflected
in noninterest income were from service charges on deposit accounts of $350,745
and nondeposit income of $80,250. This is an increase of $47,804 compared to
the $383,191 of noninterest income reported for the twelve month period ended
December 31, 1995.

OTHER EXPENSES. The Bank's noninterest expenses for the period from January 1,
1996 through December 31, 1996 were $2,407,808 or approximately $200,651
average per month as compared to $2,155,585 or approximately $179,632 average
per month for the period from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
Noninterest expense for 1994 was $1,963,517 or approximately $163,626 average
per month for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1994. The amount of
$2,407,808 for December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of $1,159,949 in salaries
and benefits, $391,068 of occupancy expense for all its offices, equipment
expenses of $263,318 and $593,473 of other operating expenses. Other operating
expenses primarily consisted of marketing expense, taxes (intangible and
sales), insurance (FDIC, blanket bond and property), state assessments,
professional fees (accounting, audit and legal), office supplies, postage and
delivery, service fees and amortization of capitalized expenses.

The opening of a second branch office in September 1995 attributed to the
overall increase in expense, especially in the area of other expenses. As to
December 31, 1996, branch related expenses for the Plant City office operations
were $214,829. The branch expense of $214,829 accounted for 88.7% of the
overall increase of $252,223 as of December 31, 1996. Most of the overall
increase of $252,223 as of December 31, 1996, is attributable to a full year of
operations at the Plant City branch office, compared to only four months of
operation during 1995.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management of the Bank believes that
the collectibility of the principal on such loans is unlikely. The allowance is
an amount that management of the Bank believes will be adequate to absorb losses
inherent in existing loans and commitments to extend credit, based on
evaluations of the collectibility of outstanding loans and prior loan loss
experience relating to loans and commitments to extend credit. The evaluations
take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the
loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and
current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, on loans charged against the allowance will be
credited to the allowance.

The Bank derives its loan loss reserve based on several methods. One is to
review the Bank's historical loss percentages calculated by dividing
year-to-date charge-offs by the amount of reservable loans. Secondly, a review
of classified loans based on a specific reserve allocation method, a percentage
method, and a blended reserve based on specific and percentage methods. The
reserve allocation is based on the overall assessment of all the methods to
determine the appropriate amount to charge to the provision for loan losses.

Page 15


17

Additionally, the Bank's loan portfolio is periodically reviewed by Federal and
state regulators as a normal part of their examination process. Governmental
examination procedures require individual judgments about a borrower's ability
to repay loans, sufficiency of collateral values and the effects of changing
economic circumstances. These procedures are similar to those employed by the
Bank in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and in
classifying loans.

As a result of their examinations, regulators may propose adjustments to the
allowance for loan losses or in the loan classifications. As a practical
matter, management and Board of Directors of the Bank promptly consider and
implement those proposed adjustments.

The Bank charged to operations $181,444 to provision for loan losses in 1996
and $97,500 and $78,000, respectively, for 1995 and 1994. The amount of
$181,444 was added to the beginning balance of $491,563 for the period ended
December 31, 1995 for a total accumulated provision less net charge-offs for the
period ended December 31, 1996 of $500,504. The Bank charged off loans during
the period from January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 in the amount of
$204,366 and reflected recoveries of $31,863 leaving a net balance in the
allowance for loan losses for the period ended December 31, 1996 of $500,504.
As of December 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses of $500,504 was 1.30% of
total loans outstanding of $38,434,177.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as
nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when
reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of interest or
principal or both, or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or
more with respect to interest or principal. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is
reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is then
recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future
collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such
loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and
principal and when, in the judgement of management, the loans are estimated to
be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. At December 31, 1996,
and December 31, 1995, the Bank's loans designated as nonaccrual totaled
$153,277 and $465,922 respectively.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 ("FASB 114"), Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan, which sets the standard for recognition of loan
impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans
whose terms are modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Under FASB 114, a loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect the full amount of principal and interest due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, a
creditor has a choice of ways to measure the impairment. The measurement of
impairment may be based on (1) the present value of the expected future cash
flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's original effective interest
rate, (2) the observable market price of the impaired loan, or (3) the fair
value of the collateral of a collateral-dependent loan. Creditors may select
the measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis, except that
collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable must be measured
at the fair value of the collateral. A creditor in a troubled debt
restructuring involving a restructured loan should measure impairment by
discounting the total expected future cash flows at the loan's original
effective rate of interest.

At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, loans totaling $96,959 and $73,982,
respectively, had been classified as impaired.

INCOME TAXES. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.

Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the statements of
operations, after exclusion of nontaxable income, such as interest on state and
municipal securities, tax-exempt loans, and includes deferred taxes on
temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and
financial statement purposes. Deferred taxes are computed on the liability
method pursuant in FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. For 1996, net income
before taxes was $503,855 and after taxes of $155,864, the net income was
$347,991. See Note K of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES. A strong capital position, which is vital to the continued
profitability of the Company, also promotes depositor and shareholder
confidence and provides a solid foundation for the future growth of the Bank.
The Bank has provided for its capital requirements through the retention of
earnings. The Bank's growth through its expansion program of opening two
branches, one in 1994 and the other in 1995, have obviously had a negative
impact on earnings. However, the Bank's net positive earnings over the past
few years has strengthened the overall capital position. At December 31, 1996,
the Bank's Tier 1 capital position was 7.14% ($3,920,149 shareholders' equity
divided by total assets of $54,918,820) and the Bank's Tier 2 capital was 8.05%
determined by adding loan loss reserves of $500,504 to shareholders' equity of
$3,920,149 and dividing by total assets of $54,918,820. Total Tier 1 capital
to total risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 1996 was 9.55% and total
capital (Tier 2) to total risk-weighted assets was 10.78% compared to 9.81% and
11.06%, respectively, in 1995.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had a contract pending for the purchase of
the premises at which the home office occupies.

LIQUIDITY. Liquidity is the ability of the Bank to meet present and future
financial obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or
by the acquisition of funds through asset and liability management. Management
of the Bank continually evaluates its liquidity position and seeks to achieve
its desired liquidity objectives from both assets and liabilities. Asset
liquidity is achieved through the continuous maturing of earning assets and by
investing in short-term marketable assets. Liability liquidity is available
through continued deposit growth, maturity structure and accessibility to
market sources of funds.

As of December 31, 1996, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 27.23% derived by
dividing net cash, short-term, and marketable assets of $13.6 million by net
deposits of $50.0 million. The Bank's dependency ratio as of December 31, 1996
was 10.90%. This ratio is determined by taking the Bank's volatile liabilities
(primarily Jumbo certificates) of $5.9 million less short-term investments of
$.6 million divided by adjusted total earning assets of $48.6 million. In 1995
and 1994, the Bank had maintained a liquidity ratio on an average of 25% to
30%. As noted in "Funding Sources" above, management of the Bank believes that
the high concentration of time deposits is primarily due to customer
relationships and not the attraction of the higher than market rates typically
offered by certificates of deposits.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES. Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all of the Bank's assets and liabilities, like those of other
financial institutions, are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a more significant impact on the Bank's performance than the effects of
inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or
with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices
are affected by inflation. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity
and the maturity structure of a financial institution's assets and liabilities
are also critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement
No., 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.
Statement 121, which was effective for the first quarter of 1996, did not have
any significant effect on the Company.

The Bank does not have any financial instruments which would be affected by
Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No., 119 ("FAS 119"). FAS 119
requires new qualitative disclosures regarding derivative financial instruments
(e.g. futures, forwards, swaps and options).

The Company does not have any plans which would be affected by Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Post
Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which required accrual for
post-employment benefits during either the employees' service periods or at the
time a liability is incurred.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This filing contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
These important factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions
(both generally and more specifically in the Bank's market), competition for
customers from other providers of financial services, government legislation
and regulation which changes from time to time and over which the Company and
the Bank have no control, changes in interest rates, the impact of the Bank's
growth, and other risks detailed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of
which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the
Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Valrico Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Valrico, Florida


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Valrico
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Valrico Bancorp,
Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

VALRICO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

General:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions
of Valrico Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valrico
State Bank (Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individual and
corporate customers primarily in Hillsborough County, Florida.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulations issued by certain
regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those agencies.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally
accepted accounting principles and with general practices within the
banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance
sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
valuation of foreclosed assets. Additionally, management has made
extensive estimates in determining fair values of financial instruments
(Note O).

Management believes that the allowance for losses on loans is adequate.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans,
including independent appraisals for significant properties, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for losses
on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to
the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them
at the time of their examination.

Investments:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FAS 115"), Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, sets the standard
for classification of and accounting for investments in equity securities
that have readily determinable fair values, and all investments in debt
securities which are to be classified as held-to-maturity securities,
available-for-sale securities, or trading securities.

Debt securities that an enterprise has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported
at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified
as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as
either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as
available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

The Bank classifies its investments at the purchase date in accordance with
the above-described guidelines. Premiums or discounts on securities at the
date of purchase are being amortized or accreted, respectively, over the
estimated life of the security using a method which approximates the level
yield method. Gains and losses realized on the disposition of securities
are based on the specific identification method and are reflected in other
income.

VALRICE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Loans:
Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance, less the allowance
for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees and costs.

Interest on loans is accounted for on the accrual basis. Generally, the
Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans
delinquent over ninety days unless fully secured and in the process of
collection. The accrued and unpaid interest is reversed from current
income and thereafter interest is recognized only to the extent payments
are received. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual basis when
interest and principal payments are current and prospects for future
recovery are no longer in doubt.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 ("FAS 114"), Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan, which sets the standard for recognition of loan
impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans
whose terms are modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Under FAS 114, a loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor will
be unable to collect the full amount of principal and interest due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is
impaired, a creditor has a choice of ways to measure the impairment. The
measurement of impairment may be based on (1) the present value of the
expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's
original effective interest rate, (2) the observable market price of the
impaired loan, or (3) the fair value of the collateral of a
collateral-dependent loan. Creditors may select the measurement method on
a loan-by-loan basis, except that collateral- dependent loans for which
foreclosure is probable must be measured at the fair value of the
collateral. A creditor in a troubled debt restructuring involving a
restructured loan should measure impairment by discounting the total
expected future cash flows at the loan's original effective rate of
interest.

The Company adopted FAS 114 during 1995. The adoption of FAS 114 did not
significantly effect the Company's financial statements.

Facilities:
Facilities are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Charges to income for depreciation and amortization are
computed on the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful
lives.

When properties are sold or otherwise disposed of, the gain or loss
resulting from the disposition is credited or charged to income.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income and
renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Allowance for Loan Losses:
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance
when management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely.
Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of
various factors including prevailing and anticipated economic conditions,
diversification and size of the loan portfolio, current financial status
and credit standing of the borrower, the status and level of nonperforming
assets, past and expected loan loss experience, adequacy of collateral,
specific impaired loans and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired
loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present
value of estimated cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments:
In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they become payable.

Income Taxes:
Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the statements
of operations, after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on
state and municipal securities, and include deferred taxes on temporary
differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial
statement purposes. Deferred taxes are computed on the liability method as
prescribed in FAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

Net Income per Share:
Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding during the year.

Statement of Cash Flows:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and amounts
on deposit in non-interest bearing accounts with other commercial banks.

Reclassification of Accounts:
Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior years have
been reclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year.

The fair value of securities fluctuates during the investment period. No
provision for loss has been made in connection with the decline of fair value
below book value, because the securities are purchased for investment purposes
and the decline is not deemed to be other than temporary. The estimated fair
value of securities is determined on the basis of market quotations.
Securities with amortized cost of approximately $1,031,457 and $1,122,000, and
market values of approximately $1,035,465 and $1,129,000 were pledged to secure
repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased and deposit accounts at December
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

There were no security sales during 1994, 1995 or 1996.

At December 31, 1995, securities with an amortized cost of approximately
$1,646,000 were transferred to available-for-sale from held-to-maturity due to
a one-time opportunity to reassess security classifications in accordance with
guidelines issued by the FASB. At the time of the transfer, the net book value
of these securities was $1,646,000 and the net unrealized loss was $13,000.

The cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at December 31, 1996, by
contractual maturities, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Loans on which interest was not being accrued totalled $153,277 and $465,922 at
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Had interest been
accrued on these non-accrual loans at originally contracted rates, interest
income (before income taxes) would have been increased by approximately $4,770
for 1996 and $15,280 for 1995.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement.
At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Bank has classified loans in
the amount of $96,959 and $73,982 as impaired loans, respectively. The
allowance for loan losses includes amounts applicable to impaired loans. These

officers and other key personnel of the Bank.

Under this plan, the option price shall not be less than the greater of the fair
market value or par value of the Bank's common stock at the time the options are
granted. The period during which these options are exercisable is fixed by the
Board of Directors at the time of the grant.

At December 31, 1996, no options had been granted under the plan.


NOTE G - REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

The Federal Reserve Board and other bank regulatory agencies have adopted
risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. The main
objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent
system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to take into
account the different risks among banking organizations' assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet items. Bank regulatory agencies have supplemented the
risk-based capital standard with a leverage ratio for Tier I capital to total
reported assets.

NOTE G - REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Failure to meet the capital adequacy guidelines and the framework for prompt
corrective actions could initiate actions by the regulatory agencies which
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC, the Bank
was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, it will have to
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios
as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the
most recent notification that management believes have changed the prompt
corrective action category.

NOTE I - RETIREMENT PLAN

In 1993, the Bank entered into deferred compensation agreements with four of
its officers. The agreements provide for a flat annual retirement benefit at
the time the employee participates in the agreement. The benefit may be
increased by a cost of living adjustment annually and is to be paid for 15
years. Provisions under these agreements for 1996, 1995, and 1994 were

NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent
liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve
elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These
commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit. A summary of these commitments and contingent
liabilities follows:



DECEMBER 31,
----------------------
1996 1995
---------- ----------

Commitments to extend credit $4,313,035 $2,463,088
Standby letters of credit $ 330,550 $ 234,083




The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit
and in issuing standby letters of credit as it does for extensions of credit
shown on the balance sheets.

The Bank is party to litigation, outstanding commitments and other contingent
liabilities arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, the resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on
the financial statements.

The Bank has a $1,000,000 line-of-credit with Independent Bankers Bank of
Florida for the purchase of Federal funds.


NOTE M - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

Substantially all of the Bank's loans, commitments and standby letters of
credit have been granted to customers in Hillsborough County, Florida. The
concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note C. The
distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of
loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to
commercial borrowers.


NOTE N - RELATED PARTIES

The Bank holds loans and engages in transactions in the ordinary course of
business with certain of the directors and senior officers of the Bank. Total
loans to such persons and their affiliates amounted to $2,825,914 and
$2,010,650 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During 1996,
originations of related party loans totaled $1,709,028 and payments on related
party loans totaled $893,764.


NOTE O - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

Cash and Short-term Investments:
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities:
For securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market
price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

VALRICO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996



NOTE O - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

LOANS RECEIVABLE:
For loans subject to repricing and loans intended for sale within
six months, fair value is estimated at the carrying amount plus accrued
interest.

The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting
the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities.

DEPOSIT LIABILITIES:
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair value of long-term fixed maturity certificates of
deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Debt:
For short-term debt, including accounts and demand notes payable,
the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at December 31,
1996, are as follows:


CARRYING FAIR

Cash and short-term investments $ 4,036,000 $ 4,036,000
