NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Operating results for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996  are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in Evergreen Bancshares,
Inc. and Subsidiary annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General - Evergreen Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company") was
incorporated on March 12, 1990 as a bank holding company under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  The Company's
principal asset is the investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Guaranty National Bank of Tallahassee (the "Bank").  The Bank was
incorporated on April 16, 1986 and opened for business on November
17, 1986, as a nationally chartered bank.  The Company acquired the
Bank on July 19, 1990 in a stock for stock exchange.

The accounting and reporting policies of Evergreen Bancshares, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Company")
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
practices within the banking industry.  The following summarizes
the more significant of the Company's accounting and reporting
policies and practices:

Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
Evergreen Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, Federal funds sold, and other
short-term, highly liquid interest bearing deposits and investment
securities with an original maturity of three months or less. 
Generally,  Federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Investment Securities - Effective January 1, 1994, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt Securities"' (SFAS No.
115"), which addresses the accounting and reporting for certain
investments in debt and equity securities.  This statement requires
that only debt securities that the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity be classified as held to maturity
and reported at amortized cost.  Securities that are bought and
held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term
are required to be classified as trading securities and reported at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in the
statement of income.  All other securities are required to be
classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses net of taxes reflected as a
separate component of shareholder's equity until realized.  

Realized gains or losses on disposition of investment securities
are recorded on the trade date and are based on the net proceeds
and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the
specific identification method.

Loans - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of
unearned income, deferred loan fees and an allowance for loan
losses.  Interest on certain installment loans is recognized as
income over the life of the loans using a method approximating the
interest method.  Interest on loans is calculated primarily by
using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal
amount outstanding.

Nonrefundable fees and certain direct costs associated with
originating or acquiring loans are recognized over the life of
related loans as an adjustment of yield.

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 believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will
be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of the
loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into
consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of
the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans and current
economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to
repay.

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the creditor
will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contract
terms of the loan agreement.  Cash receipts on impaired loans are
used to reduce principal balances.  Impairment losses are included
in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision
for loan losses.  Impairment losses are measured by the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rare, or at either the loans's observable market
price or the fair value of collateral.  Adjustments to impairment
losses due to changes in the fair value of impaired loan's
underlying collateral are included in the provision for loan
losses.  Upon disposition of an impaired loan, any related
valuation allowance is reversed through a chargeoff to the
allowance for loan losses. 

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation and amortization are
computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of 7 to 40 years.

Intangible Core Deposit Premiums - The Company paid premiums to
acquire certain deposits of another financial institution.  Such
premiums are being amortized over the estimated lives of the
related deposits which is generally 8 years.  The core deposit
intangible study for the 1993 acquisitions was not completed by the
Company's outside auditors until the end of the second quarter of
1994.  Accordingly, no amortization of the core deposit premiums
attributable to all or some of the 1993 acquisitions was included
in the first quarter 1994 financial statements.  

Organization Costs - Organization costs are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 5 years.

Income Taxes - The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated
Federal and state income tax returns.  Income tax charges or
credits are generally allocated to each member of the consolidated
group on the basis of their respective taxable income or loss
included in the consolidated income tax return.

In 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"),
which requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for
income taxes.  A cumulative effect of the change in accounting for
income taxes effective January 1, 1993, has been reported in the
consolidated statement of income.  Under SFAS 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
presently enacted tax rates.  The deferred tax provision is
computed as the change in the deferred tax asset/liability from the
beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share - Net (Loss) income per common
share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.  Earnings per common share were computed
by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average
shares outstanding.  Stock options granted to directors, officers
and employees are common stock equivalents.  However, these common
stock equivalents did not have dilutive effect on the earnings per
share calculation.  

Stock Options - The Company has a Management Stock Option and
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans under which stock options have
been granted to key officers, directors and shareholders to
purchase shares of Company common stock.  These options are
currently exercisable to purchase common stock at $10 and $12 per
share.  The options terminate upon cessation of employment or death
or expiration of option periods in 1996 through 1998.  In 1995,
3.100 shares were exercised, and in 1994, 26,435 options were
exercised.  In the first three quarters of 1996, 28,235 options
were exercised.

NOTE 3 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Agreement - On March 7, 1996, the Bank entered into a written
agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the
"Agreement").  The Agreement provide s that the Bank will perform
the following:

     --     Develop a profit plan to improve and sustain the
            earnings of the Bank.

     --     Develop a three year capital program whereby the Bank
            will achieve Tier 1 capital at least equal to 5% of adjusted 
            total assets, Tier 1 capital at least equal to 8% of 
            risk-weighted assets; and total risk-based capital at least 
            equal to 10% of risk-weighted assets by August 31, 1996;

     --     Employ an independent outside management consultant to review
            and report on the current management and Board supervision of 
            the Bank and submit a plan of implementation;

     --     Review the adequacy of the Bank's allowance for loan losses
            and establish an effective program for the maintenance of an
            adequate allowance for loan losses;

     --     Revise and implement a written asset and liability management
            policy;

     --     Immediately take all steps necessary to correct each
            violation of law, rule or regulation cited in any report of
            examination; and 
     --     Cause the Bank to refile amended Reports of Condition and
            Income for the periods ending March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 
            and September 30, 1995, and implement policies and procedures 
            to ensure the accuracy of all regulatory reports filed by the 
            Bank.

Management has taken measures to comply with the Agreement and
plans to continue these efforts.  Failure to comply with the
requirements under the Agreement may result in the levy of civil
money penalties against the Bank and/or its directors, removal of
officers and directors, or institution of Cease-and-Desist
proceedings.  The Bank has been informed by the Office of the
Comptroller that it is in noncompliance with the capital program
and other provisions.

Management's Plans - Management has undertaken plans to reduce
operating expenses, restructure the deposit and loan portfolios,
increase the loan-to-deposit ratio, and reduce the Bank's interest
rate risk by more closely matching the maturities of interest
bearing deposits with interest earning assets, in efforts to reduce
the Bank's net operating losses.  Management is also raising
additional capital through private placements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations.

Evergreen Bancshares, Inc. (the Company), a bank holding company
located in Tallahassee, Florida, is a Florida corporation with one
subsidiary, Guaranty National Bank of Tallahassee (the Bank).  A
full range of banking services are offered by the Bank through its
seven branch locations, all of which are located in the
Tallahassee, Florida area.

This and other reports were not timely filed by the Company. 
However, as of this writing, this report is the most current report
made publicly available by the Company.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company decreased during 1996 as the Company
continued its plans to improve the Bank's regulatory capital
ratios.  Total assets decreased by $26 million from $124 million at
December 31, 1995 to $98 million at September 30, 1996.  Total
liabilities decreased to $93 million at September 30, 1996 from
$118 million at December 31, 1995 and shareholders' equity
decreased $1.2 million from December 31, 1995 to September 30,
1996.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 1996 decreased by
$6.7 million when compared to December 31, 1995.  This resulted
from a decline in cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold. 
The decline in Federal funds sold reflects the Company's continued
liquidation of interest bearing deposit accounts.

The Company collected proceeds from the maturities of and principle
payments on investment securities available for sale totaling
approximately $27 million during the first nine months of 1996. 
The Company reinvested approximately $14 million of these funds in
investment securities available for sale.  The remainder of the
funds collected were used to liquidate interest bearing deposits
which, prior to their liquidation at maturity, were bearing
interest at above market rates.

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, decreased by $6.9
million as of September 30, 1996 when compared to December 31,
1995.  The decrease results from the sale of approximately $5
million of real estate loans during the third quarter.  The loans
were sold in an effort to reduce the total assets of the Bank.  The
proceeds from the sale of the loans were used to liquidate interest
bearing deposit accounts.  Management has evaluated loan growth as
such growth relates to improvement in the Bank's regulatory capital
ratios.  Management's plans for the improvement of the Bank's
regulatory capital ratios include among other alternatives,
restructuring the Bank's balance sheet as well as a reduction in
the total assets of the Bank.  Management has no specific plans to
conduct any future loan sales at this time, however, such sales may
take place as management continues to evaluate the Bank's
regulatory capital ratios.  Management's plans relating to
improving the Bank's regulatory capital ratios are more fully
discussed in Regulatory Issues.  The Company continues to
experience past due loans, non accrual loans and charge-offs that
are below industry averages.  Management has reviewed the allowance
for loan losses as of September 30, 1996 and in the opinion of
Management, the loan loss reserve is adequate.

Results of Operations

Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $5.8 million, a decrease of $922,000 from the corresponding
period of the preceding year.  The decrease in total interest
income primarily results from a decline in interest income from
investment securities of $1,135,000 partially offset by an increase
in interest income from Federal funds sold of $330,000.  The
decline in interest income from investment securities results from
lower average balances invested in investment securities available
for sale during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as
compared with the corresponding period for 1995.  The increase in
interest income from Federal funds sold for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period of the
preceding year resulted from larger average balances invested in
Federal funds sold.

Total interest expense decreased $704,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period of the
preceding year.  The decrease in interest expense primarily results
from a decrease in interest expense of $465,000 from other borrowed
funds and a decrease in interest expense of $306,000 on deposits. 
The Company did not incur other borrowings during 1996.  The
reduction in interest expense on deposits reflects the reduction in
deposit account balances consistent with management's intention to
reduce the total assets of the Bank.

Net interest income before provision for loan loss declined
approximately $217,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 when compared to the corresponding period for 1995.  This
resulted from the decline in interest margins associated with the
Company's increased average balances of investments in Federal
funds sold funding deposits with above market rates.

Other operating expenses increased $470,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period
of the preceding year.  The increase in other operating expenses
principally results from increases in salaries and employee
benefits and data processing charges.  During each of April and
June of 1996, the Bank hired an additional vice president to help
administer the Bank's loan portfolio and to attract new loan
customers that meet the Bank's conservative underwriting criteria. 
Bank management has identified market segments where the Bank
should have success in attracting from competing financial
institutions new loan and low costs deposit relationships in the
Tallahassee market.  Management believes the additions to the
management group will provide the Bank with access to new account
relationships.  Data processing charges increased during the period
as compared to the prior year comparable period as the current
period reflects six months of data processing charges under the
Bank's new data processing contract.

The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $1,967,000 compared to a net loss of $1,452,000 for the
corresponding period 1995.  The loss for the 1995 period is net of
a tax benefit estimated to be $78,000.  For 1996, the Company does
not have available taxable income to carry back the loss for a
benefit and the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset associated with the projected year end
operating loss carryfoward.  Loss per common share was ($2.08) for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 based on weighted average
common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 947,294
compared to a net loss of $1,375,000 and loss per common share of
($1.53) based on weighted average common shares and common stock
equivalents outstanding of 901,241 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.

Regulatory Issues

On March 7, 1996, the Bank entered into a Formal Agreement with its
primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC).  The Formal Agreement is the Bank's written
commitment to take certain actions requested by the OCC.  In
particular, the Formal Agreement provides that the Bank will: 
develop a profit plan to improve the Bank's earnings; develop a
three-year capital program, including meeting certain regulatory
capital ratios (discussed below); employ an outside consultant to
review and report on the current management and board supervision
of the Bank; submit a plan of implementation of the management
consultant's recommendations; revise and improve the Bank's
procedures for maintaining its allowance for loan losses; adjust
and revise the Bank's assets and liability management policy;
correct any violations of the law, rule or regulation; refile call
reports for the first three quarters of 1995; and ensure the
accuracy of all future regulatory reports filed by the Bank.  The
Bank believes it is in compliance with most of the requirements. 
The failure to comply with the requirements under the Formal
Agreement may result in the levy of civil money penalties against
the Bank and/or its directors, the removal of officers and/or
directors, or the institution of cease and desist proceedings
against the Bank and/or its directors.

In the opinion of Management, the most important area of the Formal
Agreement relates to the achievement of certain prescribed capital
ratios no later than August 31, 1996.

Under guidelines established by the Federal banking regulators,
capital adequacy is currently measured for regulatory purposes by
certain risk-based capital ratios, supplemented by a leverage
ratio.  The risk-based capital ratios are calculated as a ratio of
capital to risk-weighted assets.  Risk-weighted assets are computed
by measuring the relative credit risks of both the asset categories
on the balance sheet and various off-balance sheet exposures. 
Capital is divided into two classes:  Tier 1 and Tier 2.  Tier 1
capital consists primarily of common shareholders' equity and
qualifying perpetual preferred stock, net of goodwill and other
disallowed intangible assets.  Tier 2 capital, which is limited to
the total of Tier 1 capital and other specific limitations,
includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory
convertible securities, preferred stock and the allowance for loan
losses.  Under current requirements, the minimum Tier 1
risk-weighted capital ratio is 4%, and the minimum total capital
ratio, consisting of both Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital is 8%. 


The Tier 1 leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital only to
average total assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction
of those assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets
at the measurement date.  The required ratio ranges from 3% to 5%,
subject to Federal bank regulatory evaluation of the organization's
overall safety and soundness.

Article IV of the Formal Agreement requires the Bank to achieve
certain capital ratios by August 31, 1996.  These required capital
ratios are significantly higher than those presently recorded by
the Bank.  The Formal Agreement requires the attainment of the
following ratios:


     Ratio                 Required Ratio
          
     Tier 1 leverage           5.0%
     Tier 1 risk weighted      8.0%
     Total risk weighted      10.0%
          
The Tier 1 leverage and total risk weighted ratios required are the
same as, and the Tier 1 risk weighted ratio exceeds the ratio
required for the "well capitalized" regulatory rating.  The
following is a summary of the Bank's capital ratios:

     Ratio             March 31, 1996     June 30, 1996     September 30, 1996
                    
Tier 1 leverage            4.12%              4.10%               4.11%
Tier 1 risk weighted       7.91%              7.08%               7.34%
Total risk weighted        8.68%              7.69%               8.05%
                    
In August, 1996, the Company sold stock in a private placement to
directors and executive officers at $17 per share.  In addition,
optionees exercised options on 28,203 shares at prices of $10.00,
$12.00 and $14.25 per share pursuant to options granted under the
Company's incentive option plan.  Nevertheless, the Company did not
attain the prescribed capital ratios.

In September, 1996, the Bank further modified its capital and
profitability plan to recognize that it failed to attain the
capital ratios required by the Formal Agreement and to improve its
profitability.  The plan provides for the Bank to monitor asset
growth giving consideration to the favorable impact limiting growth
would have on the Bank's capital ratios; changing the mix of assets
and liabilities by emphasizing loans in favor of investment
securities and core deposits in favor of high cost deposits;
improving the net interest margin and non-interest income and
controlling overhead; and augmenting capital.  

The Bank's primary plan to augment capital is through a private
placement of additional stock. The Company entered into a Common
Stock Purchase Agreement with certain of its directors dated
October 17, 1996, which contemplates sales of equity principally
through the sale of shares of Company's stock at $17.00 per share
at various times during the remainder of 1996 and 1997.  This
additional capital will support loan and deposit growth and
portfolio restructurings.  An additional provision added by
amendment dated November 14, 1996, is a capital injection feature
where the purchasing shareholders agreed to purchase additional
equity from the Company (for injection into the Bank) within thirty
days of any quarter end during 1997 that the Bank does not attain
certain prescribed capital ratios.  These prescribed quarterly
capital ratios targets gradually increase over the year to the
level of the capital ratios required under the Formal Agreement at
December 31, 1997.

During September and November of 1996, the Bank submitted to the
OCC and amended, respectively, its capital plan.  On November 21,
1996, the OCC informed the Bank that the OCC had decided to approve
the capital plan, as amended.  If the Bank fails to successfully
implement the capital plan, it will be subject to significant
restrictions on its operations as provided by federal law and
likely enforcement action by the OCC.

                                  Treasurer and a Director


                 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made
as of October 17, 1996, by and among Evergreen Bancshares, Inc., a
Florida corporation (the "Company"), and the persons listed in
section 1.1(d) of this Agreement (the "Stockholders") who are
signatories to this Agreement, each of whom is a stockholder of the
Company and all but three of whom, namely Rica Barrett, Wilma
Lauder and Marilyn Newton, are directors of the Company, and all of
whom are directors of the Company's principal subsidiary.

                THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.      PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1     Sale and Issuance of Company Common Stock.

     (a)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each of the Stockholders agrees to purchase at each of the
Closings, as defined below, and the Company agrees to sell and
issue to each of the Stockholders at each of the Closings,
severally and not jointly, shares of Common Stock of the Company
(the "Shares"), set forth opposite each Stockholder's name on
Exhibit A hereto and pursuant to 1.5, at the price of Seventeen
and No/100ths ($17.00) per share.

     (b)     The consideration to be tendered by each Stockholder
to the Company in exchange for the issuance of such Shares shall be
the product of the number of shares purchased multiplied by the
price per share referenced in  1.1(a), above.

     (c)     The term of this Agreement shall be until December 31,
1997.  At each Closing, as defined below, the Company shall issue,
and the Stockholders, pursuant to this Agreement, shall purchase,
the authorized, but unissued shares of the common stock of the
Company.

     (d)     The names of the Stockholders and their shares to be
purchased are shown on Exhibit A.

     (e)     In lieu of purchasing alloted Shares under 1.1(a),
a Stockholder who arranges, on a legal basis acceptable to the
Company, for capital injections in the Company in an amount
equivalent to the consideration as calculated in 1.1(b), shall be
deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of 1.1(a).

1.2     Closings.  The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take
place at the offices of the Company, at 4:30 o'clock p.m. on the
penultimate business day of the month referenced on Exhibit A or at
such other times and places as the Company and the Stockholders
mutually agree upon (which time and place are designated as a
"Closing" and any two or more shall be designated as "Closings"). 
At least 10 (ten) days in advance of each Closing, each Stockholder
shall notify the Company if he will invoke section 1.3 of this
Agreement and not purchase his shares at the Closing.  At least 5
(five) and no more than 10 (ten) days before each Closing, the
Company shall notify each Stockholder of the number of Shares and
total purchase price to be purchased at the respective Closing.  At
each Closing, provided the Company does not invoke section 1.4 of
this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to each of the
Stockholders a certificate representing the number of Shares which
each such Stockholder is purchasing (or other document for
transmittal to the Company's transfer agent) against delivery to
the Company by each such Stockholder of cash or a certified bank
cashier's or other check reasonably acceptable to the Company in
the amount of the consideration calculated in  1.1(b).

1.3     Failed Shares.  If a Stockholder shall notify the Company
that he will not, for any reason, including inability to provide
suitable cash or cash equivalent, purchase his shares at a closing
(the "Failed Shares"), such Shares, if less than or equal to 10% of
the total shares to be issued at a particular closing, shall be
purchased by the Stockholders.  Any notice delivered to the Company
which may reasonably be construed to constitute a notice under this
section shall be deemed to be a notice under this section,
including the failure by a Stockholder to comply with any term of
this Agreement.  If, for any closing, the total amount of such
Failed Shares, taken together with any Shares not purchased in a
previous closing through the action of section 1.3 of this
Agreement, shall exceed 10% of the shares to be issued at such
closing (the "Maximum Additional Shares"), the amount of Failed
Shares in excess of the Maximum Additional Shares shall be added to
the next following closing.  Any Stockholder invoking this section
shall nonetheless be liable to the Company for breach of this
Agreement and any other remedies available to the Company.
 
1.4     Change in Control In the event that any purchase of Shares
under this Agreement shall, in the sole opinion of the Company
acting upon advice of counsel, become subject to the provisions of
the Change in Bank Control Act, 12 U.S.C. 1817(j), or any other
regulatory or legal requirement with respect to the qualification
of any Stockholder to purchase and own the Shares as contemplated
by this Agreement, then the Company shall issue shares and collect
payment for the same when the Change in Control Act Notice or other
legal or regulatory matter, in the sole opinion of the Company, is
resolved.  Further, it shall be the obligation of each Stockholder
to notify the Company between the time of the execution of this
agreement and the issuance of any Issue if any law or regulatory
provision relating to the qualification of a Stockholder to own the
Shares, including the Change in Control Act, may be applicable to
such Stockholder's purchase of shares.

1.5     Stop Loss.  During the term of this Agreement, the
Stockholders will also purchase Shares for the total consideration
as calculated in 1.1(b) in a total amount equal to any monthly
loss incurred by Guaranty National Bank of Tallahassee in any month
after December, 1996 (the "Stop Loss Shares").  The purchase of
Stop Loss Shares shall be allocated among the Stockholders pro rata
to the allocation of Shares in the October, 1996 Closing.  The
Closing of the sale of Stop Loss Shares shall occur before the end
of the month next following the Bank's loss.
