Comptroller of the State of Florida for the organization of a new state banking
association; an approval was also received on May 29, 1992 from the Federal

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




                  The following discussion addresses the factors that have
affected Sarasota BanCorporation, Inc.'s (the "Company") financial condition
and results of operations reflected in the Company's unaudited financial
statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1999 was
$274,400, a 33.2% increase compared to $206,019 for the same period in 1998.
Earnings per share increased to .51 in the third quarter of 1999 compared to
 .38 per share for the same period in 1998. Net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $763,451 compared to $543,857 for the same period in
1998, an increase of 219,594 or 40.4%. The increase in net income for the third
quarter was attributable to an increase in the interest and fees on loans of
$469,700 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase in net income for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 was primarily attributable to a
$1,204,500 or a 34.6% increase in interest and fees on loans.

                  Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the
third quarter of 1999 increased $237,127 or 30.8% to $1,007,301 from a balance
of $770,174 for the third quarter of 1998. Net interest income after provision
for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased $679,681
or 31.3% to $2,853,753 from a balance of $2,174,072 for the same period in
1998. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase
in loan volume and a corresponding increase in interest and fees on loans. The
cost of deposits averaged 4.23% for the third quarter of 1999 compared to 4.47%
for the third quarter of 1998. The net interest margin for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999 was 4.65% on average earning assets of
$87,800,000. For the same period in 1998, the net interest margin was 4.38% on
average earning assets of $72,237,000. The increase in net interest margin is
reflective of growth in higher priced consumer loan accounts and an increase in
lower priced consumer deposit accounts.

                  Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 1999 increased
$167,500 or 32.4% as compared to the third quarter of 1998. Non-interest
expense increased $443,800 or 29.7% for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998. This increase is primarily the
result of increased employee salaries and benefits and loan servicing fees.

                  Non-interest income increased $34,000 or 42.0% during the
third quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
Non-interest income also increased $99,400 or 51.3% for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. The increase
in non-interest income is attributable to a increased fee income on deposit
accounts.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the
company experienced continued asset, loan and deposit growth. Total assets
increased 20.9% to $94,833,300 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 from 78,465,500 at December 31, 1998. This increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in loans of approximately $15.4 million during the
period.

                  The allowance for loan loss provision for the third quarter
of 1999 was $100,000 compared to $35,000 in the third quarter of 1998. The
reserve balance for loan losses as of September 30, 1999 was $794,900 as
compared to $521,600 at December 31, 1998. At September 30, 1999, the allowance
for loan losses represented 1.09% of total loans outstanding. Management
considers the allowance to be adequate based upon evaluations of specific loans
and the weighting of various loan categories as suggested by the Bank's
internal loan rating system. The provision for loan losses is based upon
management's continuing analysis and evaluation of various factors, including
current economic conditions, the size of the loan portfolio, past loan loss
experience, underlying collateral value, the Bank's internal rating system and
other factors deemed relevant by management.

                  Through the third quarter of 1999, charged-off loans totaled
$24,000 with recoveries of $7,200 or a net of 0.02 percent of total loans
outstanding. The ratio of non-performing loans (including loans 90 days or more
past due) to total outstanding loans was $207,000 or 0.29% as of September 30,
1999 compared to 1.95% as of the same period in 1998. At year ended December
31, 1998, non-performing loans were $271,000 or .50% of loans outstanding. The
non-performing loans are primarily attributable to several consumer loans past
due from 30 to 90 days. There were no accruing loans past due in excess of 90
days as of September 30, 1999.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

                  Federal banking regulators have established certain capital
adequacy standards required to be maintained by banks and bank holding
companies. These regulations establish minimums of risk-based capital of 4% for
core capital (tier 1), 8% for total risk-based capital, and at least 3% for the
leverage ratio. Three percent is the minimum leverage ratio for the most highly
rated banks. All other banks are required to meet a minimum of at least 100 or
200 basis points above the 3% level. The Company's tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio at September 30, 1999 was 9.23%, its total risk-based capital ratio was
10.25%, and its leverage ratio was 7.47%.

LIQUIDITY

                  The Company views liquidity as the ability to provide for the
credit needs of the market and to provide funds for deposit withdrawals. With a
loan to deposit ratio of 82.0% at September 30, 1999, cash and due from banks
of $2,512,100 and federal funds sold of $4,670,000, the Company does not
anticipate any events which would require liquidity beyond that which is
available through deposit growth or its investment portfolio. The Company
actively manages the levels, types, and maturities of earning assets in
relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure
adequate funding will be available at all times. There are no known trends or
any known commitments or uncertainties that will result in the Company's
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

YEAR 2000

                  A critical issue affecting companies that rely extensively on
electronic data processing systems, such as the Company, is the Year 2000
issue. The Year 2000 issue has arisen due to the widespread use of computer
programs that rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations or
decision-making functions. Many of these programs may fail as a result of their
inability to properly interpret date codes beginning January 1, 2000. For
example, such programs may misinterpret "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000.
In addition, some equipment, being controlled by microprocessor chips, may not
deal appropriately with the year "00." This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar
normal business activities.

During 1999, the Company developed a plan to address the Year 2000 issue, and
conducted a comprehensive review of the Bank's internal and external systems to
ensure that the Company and the Bank take any necessary measures to address the
Year 2000 problem, including detailed analysis and review of all of the
Company's and the Bank's computer operating systems. The plan incorporated
guidelines set forth by the OCC, FRB, and the FFIEC. The Company and the Bank
believe that their systems are currently Year 2000 compliant and do not believe
that material expenditures will be necessary to implement any further
modifications. As of September 30, 1999 the Bank had spent approximately
$14,000 to help ensure that its systems would be Year 2000 compliant.

The Bank uses a third-party vendor (the "Vendor) for processing its primary
banking applications. The Bank completed its "testing" phase with the Vendor
during the second quarter of 1999. As of September 30, 1999,all of the
necessary "coding changes" required to communicate properly with the Vendor
have been completed and are currently in use by the Bank. The Bank does not
believe that any further material expenditures will be necessary to implement
any further modifications required or requested by or for the Vendor. As of
September 30, 1999, the Vendor has assured the Company and the Bank that the
Vendor's computer operating systems will be Year 2000 compliant well in advance
of the Year 2000. However, there can be no assurance that unforeseen
difficulties or costs will not arise. In addition, there can be no assurance
that the systems of other companies on which the Bank's systems rely will not
encounter any difficulties beginning January, 2000. To help offset this
possibility, the Vendor has developed contingency plans that should allow the
Vendor to provide service to the Bank in the event of a year 2000-related
crisis. To supplement the Vendor's plan, the Company and the Bank have
developed a contingency plan with a focus on manual processing of accounts;
such a process will enable the Bank's customers to be served in the event of a
Year 2000-related crisis. The Bank and Company plan also provides for copies of
documents to be produced in case of equipment failure, utilization of security
personnel in case of security equipment failure, manual posting of
transactions, hiring of temporary additional personnel and telephone
verification of information normally received by electronic means.

                  The Bank also recognizes the importance of determining that
its borrowers are facing the Year 2000 problem in a timely manner to avoid
deterioration of its loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material
relationships have been identified to assess the inherent risks. The Bank
continues to work on a one-for-one basis with any borrower who has been
identified as having high Year 2000-risk exposure.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

                  The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral
forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and its
reports to stockholders. Such forward-looking statements are made based on
management's belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently
available to, management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may
differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking
statements due to a variety of factors, including governmental monetary and
fiscal policies, deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values,
securities portfolio values and interest rate risk management; the effects of
competition in the banking business from other commercial banks, savings and
loan associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit
unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual
funds and other financial institutions operating in the Company's market area
and elsewhere, including institutions operating through the Internet; changes
in acquisitions; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of
reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying
delinquent loans and other factors. The Company cautions that such factors are
not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements that may be made form time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.
